Henry Clay a. n Pok-r Player.
" Henry Clay used to lose the greater
part of bis Congressional salary," t-a au
old Washington gambler to a repoiter of
the Pittsburg Press. 1 lie fume he
used to play was one in which the blind
was fifty cents and $1 to come in. There
as no limit in those days, as there
gen -1 ally is to-day. A nian could how
ever, demand a sight for his money.
Clay's a-itagonlst was generally a man
named Bright, and both pro rer red to
play a two-handed game. The cards
were cut one day and Clay gut first deal.
He was a better card shuffler than lives
to-day. He could hold his hands four
feet apart and 11 y the cards from one to
he other without a card falling.
Generally he dealt with one hand, and
without a pereeptable movement of the
arm, throwing each card to its proper
place with his Ionic muscular fingers.
Clay was a poor poker player, how
ever. He played for the excitement and
not for the gain, and as he was careless
about lils bets be generally came out a
loser. He almost always straddled tlie
blind, and whatever hand be held would
raise the bet of his antagonist. He used
to bluff a good deal, and as this would
soon be found out he nou d come out a
loser.
"For nearly two hours the night I
e per. of Clay ha I been having his own
way with Bright. He held h king full
four times running, ami then had a jack
full. Bright did his lust to catch Clay
in a b uff, but it was no use. Clay bad a
band t;iat could be beateu only by fours.
The play began at three o'c ock, and by
half-past ten Bright had lost $1.50. and
had borrowed $500 from John Hancock.
After that Clay's luck vanished, and by
midnight he had lost all his wiunings
and $1.10U beside, all the cash he had
with him.
'It was Saturday night, and Bright
proposed that they quit so they could go
to church in the morning, but Clay
wouldn't have it. So he borrowed f.V-0
from Bright, and let the game go on. The
game was continue I. and by daylight he
owed Bright 1.5tl). He l.quidated the
debt by giving Bright a deed for 330 acres
of Kentucky land and six shares of stock
in a Louisville bank.
"Clay went tochurcb all the same that
morning. While he was talking to the
rector after it was over, he put bis band
in his pocket and drew out a pack of
cards along with his handkerchief. They
fluttered to the ground, but Clay was
not abashed, and, replacing them, sa d
that they must have been placed there
as a practical joke."

Marvin Porno was greatly perplexed.
He was on shipboard, lu the Java Sea,
and with him was his sweetheart and her
father.
The latter had been taken ill, off Sama
rang so seri3usly ill that he had insisted
on going iuto port, so that his nerves
might no longer suffer the shock of the
motion of the bont.
It was not his f.il tiro father-in-law's ill
ness, but tho putting lu to that particular
port, which constituted Dome's perplex-
There was a woman lu Samarang he did
not wish to see only a little brown
woman, such ns most of his aristocratic
English friends would have scorned; but
he feared her. for all that.
But the sick man's will prevailed. Lord
Crelghtou was taken ashore, his daughter
Alice, and young JJorne, her nance, ac
companying him. with their servants.
This was bad enough, thought Dome
but what was worse. Lord Creighton in
sisted on being taken to the palace of a
former friend of his, a native pnnce a
man of great culture and refinement, and
no stranger to the Loudon social world.
And since this prince was uncle to the
very dark-skinned maiden Dome most
dreaded seeing, his cup of misery was
filled so near to overflowing that even the
presence of his charming sweetheart
failed to cousole him.
His fears notwithstanding, Dornn was
Boon domiciled with the Creigbtons, in
the establishment of Prince Djeuga,
Which was also tne home of the orphaned
Princess Tautha, the maiden of dire por
tent.
But a week passed by without her ap
pearing, and so through all of that time
Dome's heart gradually lightened, though
the life of his prospective marital parent
was as gradually ebbing away.
May be the princess was absent, or may
be she had forgiven him. thought Dome.
The prince, strangely enough, had not
mentioned her to him, though aware of
their former relations.
Ten days after the arrival of his party
In Samaratig, Lord Creighton suddenly
summoned his daughter and her betrothed
bus baud.
" The doctor," said the sick man, calmly,
" tells me I have less than three days to
live; 60 to-morrow I want you two to
marry. It is tbe only way in which you
can properly return to Kngland, and be
sides. 1 naturally wish to attend my
daughter's wedding.
There were the usual tears and smiles
and sighs, and then there was a general
resuscitation of common sense, and every
one engaged in such preparations as were
necessary for the uoxi day s nuptials.
It was nearly midnight before Dome
and bis sweetheart parted, and when they
did so, the former was so full of his unex.
pectedly-hateued happiness that he went
out for a turn through the prince's gar
den, to steady himself.
When he had walked up and down the
terrace which was most embowered, fur
half an hour, a soft hand suddenly touched
Ins.
Greatly startled, bo with difficulty sup
pressed an outcry of alarm.
There was a ripple of light laughter be
side him.
"My touch did not use to terrify you
so," said a musiuul, liquid voice.
"Tantha! ' be gasped, in an exclamatory
whisper.
" Yes." she answered, putting out both
her bauds to him. " Your white love, that
is, has sought her bed; and so, lest you
get lonely, your brown love, that was, bos
come to keep you company, for a little
while."
She laughed again, as musically as be
fore, and v tuotit betraying any more
emotion th.. la the proper accompaniment
of a Joke.
Dome's mouth felt like the interior of
an oven, and was fast parching bis tongue
boyond the power of speech.
" Why don't you say something to me?"
she said. "You were not so silent when
at Samarang, before. And surely I am
entitled to your thanks for leaving you so
entirely to your alllanced wtfo, not once
taking up a moment of your time, since
your return. Am I not?"
Finally, tbe perspiration streaming
from his every pore. Dome found his
voice.
"O Tantha," he whispered, hoarsely;
I am embarrassed beeauso I have a con
science becauso I feel that that you
have every right to vengeance."
" Vengeance 1" she retieated, as If she
did not at all understand him; "and for
what? For helping me while away a third
of a year pleasantly I How absurd. What
a silly boy you are."
" But I you thought I meant to marry
you and it was all a lie a villainous lie
and you are entitled tomy life for for the
wrong I did you."
"Stop do stop," she said, or I shall
scream out with laughter, and we snail be
botrayed. And so, you have boon tortur
ing your heart with such foolish fears as
these? Poor Dome how sorry I am you
have suffered so. Put it all by, forever,
to-night. You have done me no harm.
You simply do not understand Japanese
women. Love is a different thing with us
than it is with those who are fair-skinned.
We give no deep-seated sentiment to any
man. Our love Is an inherent personal
appetite a mere hunger. Our other hun
ger we satisfy with fruit, to-day; with
llosh. to-morrow: and when we are enjoy
ing tbe one kind of food we never think of
sighing for the other. Ho with our love.
We have blissful happiness one week
from one man's love, truly enough, but
the same Joy. eomos to us from nnothor
man's devotion. In the week which fol
lows: and neither, in going, leavos bitter
memories behind. Two years ago you
loved me, for a time; but others bad made
love vows to mo before you came, and
others have been my slaves since your de
parture. So it is with all Japanese women.
We are butterllies in the sunshine, caring
only for whatever joy is present, needing
nothing which is not straight before us.
You men of the western world take lid
much too seriously, put. away your fool
ish contrition. No. thought of vengeance
ever entered my head. Why should It?"
"But, Tantha think of Bara-Budur,
the great temple, and how, whispering
passionate love-pledges, as we walked on,
we solemnly climbed its seven terraces,
ever bending lower with Increased rever
ence, and went and stood under tbe great
cupola where the hewn Buddha sits in sil
ence on the lotos-throne"
Aguin she laughed.
Amrknelt there," sho continued, "and
wore eternal fidelity to each other. 0
Dorno, poor Porno did you really nieiiu
those burning words did you think I be
lieved your vows and meant mine? Then
mine was tho sin, not yours, if sin there
was. Is love a cup, in your Tvestern world,
to be drained but once and then loft dry
ever after? Here we ro-llll it every time
It is emptied, holding that each succeed
ing draught Is as sweet as tho one before,
it. Listen, Dome: since that day In the
temple 1 have ro-plodgod tlioso words you
thought so binding a score of times; and
you hava beon most loyal of all my
lovers, for you mntlo me happy for four
whole months, while some of the others
tired of me in n day !"
He took her face in Ids hnnds nnd for n
long time gazed searchingly into her eyes
deep glorious brown eyes, out of which
the truth alone seemed to shine.
Sho did not tremble at his touch, nor did
her breath come quicker for it.
ill you not lielieve me. Dome? s'ie
queried, after a little time.
lie released his hold upon her with a
sigh. He could not boar to think her what
she had called hers-df, and yet what rea
son could she have for lying to him?
" Women differ, I suppose, lie thought.
What Is vice in one part of earth Is prob-
bably virtue in another. Who can tell
what Is really best and truest, after all?
May be what we call right aud wrong are
only matters of custom or accident.
She put her baud upon his. eiitrcaMngly
lHirne, do you doubt mer
" No. Tantha; I believe you. Hut it all
seems so at rage to me."
That is lieeause you do not understand
our ways. It Is well you believe tun. Else
you havo severe punishment not even a
glance nt the wedding gift I have prepared
for you. Enter the room next to your
ow n. on to your way to bed. There you
will find my gift, the rarest plant In Java,
11 in full bloom. It Is late, now, and vou
must go at omv; for In Java wo hold it
Ill-bred to over-sleep on one's wedding j
morning. And, Dome It Is only a fool- j
Isli littlle fancy of mine but will it harm j
her If you kiss me good-night? You will
be all her's. after to-morrow."
Stooping, he pressed Ms lips full up n
hers. She yoked her plump arms about
his neck and for a second held him close.
Then she darted away, with another rip
ple of her light musical laughter.
" His last kiss." sho said. " His very
last kiss." Aud then pressed both hands
close down upon her bosom and held them
there, tightly.
Dome moved on toward his room like
one in a dream. Tantha was strange, but
sho was also magnificent. May be. if
solely a love-lifo was best, he had erred in
leaving Java, two years before.
Pausing on the way. he stepped into the
little room she had mentioned, to inspevt
her gtft-
A heavy perfume hung In the air. so
dense aud pungent that all his sense were
encompassed by its overpowering sway.
Still, such a wondrous spectacle there
awaited him that he continued on Into the
room.
There were several 6lenier. yard-long
stems to the plant before him, each thick
ly thorn-studded and also closely set with
heart-shotd leaves, of satiny gloss and
smoothness. The top of every leaf was a
delicate shade of green, but underneath,
each was irregularly streaked with blood
red, alternating with cream. Crowning
each of these leaf and thorn garnished
stems was a cup-like Mower, broad, mllky
whlte and deep, of the shape and size of
tbe bowl of a goblet. Its rim guarded with
needle-like rows of dainty briers. From
out these pearly cups came the stilling
perfume which Dome, now fascinated and
unmanned. 1-ent over and Inhaled.
Tbe next morning there was a sickening
odor, as of chloroform, throughout the
palace; and it was traced, by Uie alarmed
household, to the room where Dome lay
upon the floor, beside Tantha's wonderful
gi ft. dead.
" The kali mujak the death plant! " ex
claimed the prince, at sU-ht of tho floral
marvel. "How came the awful tiling
here ? "
Tantha held her peace and no one else
could tell. The prince may have guessed
why that deadliest of all plants, which
ever distills fatal fumes, was in ills palace;
but if so be kept his surmise to himself.
The shock of Dome's death was fatal to
Lord Creighton. who also expired, during
the day.
Poor Lady Alice! Her wild agony and
despair were not at all tho source of tierce
delight to Tantha sho bad thought they
would be.
"The girl will die!" she finally mut
tered mournfully; "just as the others
have died. I did not think a whlte.sklnned
woman could care so much. I only sought
to kill one of them; but the three will
die the three will die."
Out of the palace sho went, slowly, along
tbe winding streets of Samarang. and
past the plantations beyond.
She did not hood tho birds which flitted
and twittered in the banyiin-trees, nor
the grinniug. chattering monkeys, press
ing in and out through the thickets of
bamboo. On sho went, on aud on, never
pausing to admire tho gold-hearted lotos-
flownrsinthe pools and lakelets, nor to
pluck and smell of tho fragrant tufts of
alang-alang grass.
She only saw two cold, dead faces; she
only heard a stricken girl, moaning and
sobbing out her ever-increasing anguish.
" I thought I was lyng to him, nil the
while; but I was telling him tho truth. 1
did not love him. 1 loved only myself,
cured only for tho pleasure ho gave me.
Else I could no), have sent him to breathe
that destroying pcrfumo. And I made
him think me wanton, when I was as true
to him as the angels nre to Allah! O,
Dome, my slain love, can you not jilend
with Allah to forgive my crini sellU
And yot how cau you, with her v -
i !
her dying face ever meeting your ...I
eyes anil enrs and I the cause of nil."
By midday she reached a secluded lilt
arm of the sea. a leaf and a vine I i.lil -
nook, where Dome had first kissed her.
Here, with eyes bent upon the gre: !
she sat for hours in silence, her booi.;i
heaving laboredly, us if heavy with crush
ing puln.
Just before night full she bared her right
arm. cutting Into the great vein below the
shoulder, with a sharp little knife.
"I must die," she said, calmly; "but
death must come slowly mid hurt mo all
It cun else Allah run never forgive my
wnys have been so evil."
It was quite dark, nnd the calm sea of
Java was mirror to countless stars, whou
her troubled soul passed away.

The eating bouses of London, except
ing the fashi na de purl of the town,
ex Bt principally for the purpose of sup
plying men with luncheon, or whatever
the midday meal luuy be called. This
alone won d le em ugh to make them
very different from N.-w York restaur
ants, which in most cases, whether they
arc uptown or downtown, expect to en
tertain a considerable proportion ot
their customers a, other times than
mid '.ny. Before making any further
oompni isous it is well to say fiul men
win. Law eaten in various parts of the
world, including Engl sliruen. consider
New York to be far ahead of the British
metropolis in a gastronomic way. The
excellence of the English chop house
cannot be expected to counterbalance, in
th estimation of a fon rirunf. the super
ior tv of lh" re-taor nits pioper In New
York.
Going westward from the city of
Londou which is the financial metropolis
or England, the restaurants grud.ially
change in character. Eist. north and
south of the city there is none worth
speaking of. In the ity, w here men are
marly as hurried as in the liveliest
pa:ts of New York, luncheon bars
alumni. There are different kinds of
the-"', which are patronized according to
their quality by bankers, stock brokers,
men In bus ne- ami clerks.
Tie n a ters m the better ones are malo
and i-t ;o cheaper female, aud are usu
ally I. .lish. The foreigner is not equal
to the physical strain necessitated by
this kind of work, and moreover, has no
opMit tunity to indulge bis conversa
tional powers. With a few notable ex
ceptions, the restaurants in th city
where one sits down at a regular table
and waits for the waiter are not good.
They are out of sympathy with the hur
ried life f the place. And there is noth
ing for tbem to do but shut up in the
evening, when this part of the town is
deserted.
In addition to luncheon t ars, the res
taurants which supply entirely fish food,
particularly oysters and lobsters, are
very characteristic of tho city. Sweet

When one gets iuto the Fleet street
region, occupied by newspapers and pub
lishers, one lierames aware of a great
change trtm the city. Men here are not
8 much devoted to tbe cultivation of
indigestion. Toe cafes kept by Swiss
Italiuns. who have also enetrated into
every corner of the United Kingdom, are
numerous he; e. Thetiatti Brothers, the
pioneers o this race, began life in Lon
don a gene, at ion ago with an ice-cream
! .arrow, and now their family own
theatres and cafes innumerable.
In tde-e caf.'S you-a-.i get all kinds of
dishes, rooked in the Italian way. and
usually cocked well. Wines are to be
had there. t.w. which the cheap British
restajrants do not usuiily keeD. A
feature of the SwIm Italian system is
the payment of waiP-rs. The customer
Is supposed to give bis waiter a penny
for every shilling he sjionds. and not lesa
tt.an two pence incase he feeds upon the
roodet chop.
In and about Fleet street the best chop
houses are to be found ; the most perfect
in the kingdom, in fact. They have been
celebrated in prose and verse, end in
several cases were the resorts of the
literary lights of theeighteentb century.
Of these, the Cheshire Cheese. Dr. John
son's favorite, still retains its ancient
material structure, but the Cock, sung
of by Tennyson, and also not unknown
to J..mon. is in new quarters, but tbe
spirit of it and the chops, st- as and ale
remain unchanged.
Here for the very moderate sum of one
shilling and sU pence can be oM lined a
lunch such as is said tbe whole North
American coutinent cannot furnish. At
any rate t cannot furjish the pint of
bitter tW. Tbe literary lights of the
present time have pa-sed into more

the hop houses is divided between
lawvors and newspaper men.

which could not be better. Hidden away
iu the cellar, however, there are tous of

which Is imbibed by crusty aud parchment-faced
tdd solicitors. The drinking
of port wine in certain of thechop houses
is confined to this branch of the legal
prof ssioii.
Leaving Fleet stieet and entering the
Strand another distinct change is ap
parent. The restaurants have more of a
West End or n.diionable character,
mod fled by the fact that the customers
are p ;i Ipally ei ond-rat-actors, music

Host-dries having a high reputation
for the hi cwing of punch are quite fre

Miss Bessie Bellwood was of ea wont to
satisfy her internal cravings in company
with her friend who is now Dill; of Mau

liquidate the cheeks.
About the nationality of wailers In
London it may be s iid that the majority
are foreigners. Waiters are born and not
made, except to a limited extent, and
Englishmen are not boru waiters, while
a great m-tny waiters of tho continent
-oem to be so. Tho English waiters are
i: her very bad or very good. Iu the

THE CITY OF MOROCCO.

A writer In Blackwood's Magazine says:
rtio streets of the city of Morocco ure
anrrow, without names and crooked, and
he houses without numbers, like all those
3f Morocco towns. The population Is es
timated at 60,000. The city Is divided in
to two parts, each with Its walls and
rates. Ono quarter is exclusively for
Jews and the other for tho Mohammed
ans. I he Jews are Kept t-trictly within
their own division at night, aud none of
mom can walk by their gates into tho
Mohammedan quarter without taking oil
tlioir slippers, and some of tho raoro fan
tical of the people place hot coals in their
path, so as to bum their feet as they walk
Along. There is no regular police to keep
order, yet we have never seen brawls in
the streets, nor have we heard that the
people do much serious damage to one au
ulhor. The climate of Morocco is considered
particularly salubrious. The summer heat
is tempered by the snow-capped Atlas,
which raises its high summits just be
hind, while the abundant supply of exoel-
lei.t water which passes through the city
contributes much to tbe health of the peo
ple. As it rained nearly every day during
our sojourn In thiscouutry, we found Mo
rocco nt this time of the year particularly
dirty, the rains having made the streets
so muddy that they all seemed like run
ning sewers.
However, during our stay we visited the
principal bazaars and shops, which we
found well 6tocked with Manchester and
native products. Some of the people were
gathering up tbe mud and 6toriiig 11 in
their slnis to mend their houses with.
Wo passed through several markets full
of iH-ople, aud we examined every kind of
work which they were pleased to show us.
Here there are markets for all sorts or in

Is held every Friday; also the skin, oil,
grain, and other markets.
Here we have a street where old shoes
are mended and new ones made and ex
posed for sale, there a street for old
clothes, and others for saddlery. Iron
mongery, grinding mills, gunsmiths, dig

Tne Talking Woman.
lienareofthewom.nt who talks rap
idly." said an old French writer, "for
w hen she has spoken of every one else she
will talk of thee." Of course, that was
very cynical, and perhaps not altogether
true; but every one must admit that
there was a little spice of truth in it
Where there is talk, there must always
be a subject of conversation; and when
one has talked very rapidlv, and for a
long time, even with tho best intentions
in the world the subjects have a tendency
to become mere personal ones. And per- ,
sonal sub jects are always so interest tug!
How far superior to glittering generali
ties, such as those afforded by books and
politics and the weather. Let the talking
woman be never so personal, she always
has a delighted audience, and it is impos
sible to estimate the amount of family
history and sins of omission and com
mission with which they become ac
quainted in the course of one sitting. Is
she in society? Every smallest incident
that she has seen or heard is detailed in
that gay, well-meaning chatter, a perfect
crazy patch-work of odds and ends of
nothing; but odds and ends skillfully
patched together sometimes make a first
rate scandal, and after a scandal is once
started anybody can keep it going. That
requires no talent at all.
Is the talking woman a trusted employe
of some business firm? It shall go hard
with her but she will tell the exact condi
tion of the books and all tne plans and
bocs and fears of the firm to all her inti
mate friends, and virtually lay bare every
secret of the business every timeshe talks.
Everybody knows all about tbe threatened
failure long before it happens, and the
fact that everybody knows it precipitates
the failure, and the firm goes to the wall
merely because one of its employes was
good at talking and must have something
to talk about.
Is the talking woman one of your
friends? Then sit and listen to her by all
means. Absorb everything she says and
even take a delight in it. but lock your
own family skeleton up in the closet and
throw tho key into the well when you see
her coming, for otherwise she will hold it
up ami rattle its bones for tho amusement
of s me other audience. It is not that she
I thinks of harming you in the least, but
she must talk, and other subiects bein
exhausted, the inhabitant ot your closet Is
always opportune and always iuterestiniT.

RALEIGH'S ROMANCE.
A Sixteenth Century Story Whirl
Fooled tile Old World.
Mining prospectors have recently beet
hunting for th:-lost Adams mine and for
otherdiggings of reputed wealth and un
ceitain location. Most practical miner
lielieve these diggings never existed save
in the imagination of gifted story tellers,
but the romances about them jmle iuto in
significance when compared with the re
maikable lictions concerning the discov
ery of precious metals which deluded th
old world in the sixtwntn century, when
crowds of adventurers were swarming
westward.
The strangest of these stories related tx
enormous treasures existing somewherf
in equatorial South America. In the lat
ter part of that century the old world had
not a particle of doubt that there was an
area in eastern South America where gold
was as common osironand copper were in
Europe. Walter Ilaleigb was among the
victims of this delusion and he was one ol
the throng that descended upon that part
of the new world in the expectation oi
finding the golden paradise.
It was in l.V.w that Baleigh published the
highly colored story of his " Discovery ot
the large, rich and beautiful empire ol
Jiiiana." Most writers of the day were
led by Indian rejwrts to affirm that th
golden eity of Manoa, upon the banks ol
I-ake Pari me was to be found near the
Maroni river in what is now known as
French (iuiana. Wherever it was. Kaieigb
did not hesitate to inform Queen Elizabeth
that these reports were true. Finally the
Stiiard Martinez, who had a most bril
liant imagination, declared that he had
spent nearly a y.-ar in Manoa. of which he
gave an elaborate description.
He said the city was of enormous size,
and iis population almost innumerable

some mysterious manner from dissolu
tion. The iilace was supported ujxn
columns of alabaster and porphyry.
Around it were galienes of e'oony and
cedar, the wood work lavishly inlaid with
gold and precious stones.
Two towers guarded the entrance, each
twenty-five feel in height, and surmount

columns by chains of gold. In tne palace
was a large square, adorned with slivei

A Snow-Storm In Ills Hat.
The same causes which produce a fall of
snow in ts.e open air namely, a subjection
of a moist atmosphere to a temperature
cold enough to crystaiize the drops of
moisture which are formed may, of
course, take place under artificial condi
tions. La Nature, a French journal of science,
relates that a gontieaiaa who wa walking
rapidly along the street on a cold, fair
day, and had, by violent exercise, brought
himself iuto a condition of profuse per
spiration, took on his tail hat in saluting
a friend.
As he did so he was astonished to feel
what was apparently a slight fail of snow
upon his head. Cpon passing his band
over his head he zouna several unmis
takable Bakes of snow there.
It is supposed that the freezing, outer
air coudecsed the moist warm air within
the gentleman's tall hat so suddeniv that
a vertable snow-storm, of miniature pro
portions, was produced upon his head.
A similar incident is related by the same
journal. During the past winter, on a
very cold, clear night, an evening partv
was given in a salon in Stockholm, Swed
en. Many peoole were gathered together
in a single room and it became so warm
in the course of the evening that several
ladies complained of feeling ill.
An attempt was then made to raise a
window, but the sashes had been frozen in
their places ami it was impossible to move
them.
In this situation, as it was absolutely
necessary that the air should be admitted,
a pane of giass was smashed out. A cold
current at orce rushed in. ami at the same
Instant flakes of snow were seen to fall tc
the floor in all rts of the room.

The phenomenon of musical sands,
which has attracted scientific attention
only during during the iast few-years, is
found to be very common. Prs. II. G- Bol
ton and A. A. Julian, who have given
especial attention to the subject, have col
lected 010 samples of such sauds from dif
ferent parts of the w-orld. while reports
from eighty-live beaches iu the Uuited
States have shown them that sixty-five are
famous for musical sands. To the eye a
patch of this sand is like auy other, yet a
blind man who is deaf and dumb can easily
distinguish it by a distinct vibration or
tickling sensation communicated by it to
hands or feet. From about 5A samples
ex.-unitied it appears that tho sounds,
which are produced by friction are vary
in pitch with the amouut of sand acted
UHn. do not depend upou a particular
variety of sand, but uxn a condition iuto
which the saud gets. Boiled in a bay, one
specimen of musical sand gave a whoop
ing sound audible for about 420 feet. Yet
this sand unless bottled lost its power
in a few hours after being token from the
beach, aud also became soundless on the
slightest admixture of line powder or oi
moisture.
Seelim by Touch.
A Russian physician is credited with the
invention of an instrument by which per
sons totally blind are enabled to preeoive
light through the sense of touch. The
instrument converts light rays into a
thernuM-lectro current, which is per
ceived by the nerves of the skin
covering the forehead when the appara
tus is placed upon t!ut part of the body.
The sensation produced, by the Instru
ment are thus described by tho inventor:
" The presence of an illumiuated object is
manifest In the peiveptive field as a sensa
tion of warmth. The degree of sensation
of warmth increases with the approach of
illuminating object, and vice versa. A
movement of the feelitigof warmth toward

and was handed down from one genera-i
uon to another until it was finally given
to the Seymours by one of the direct de
scendants of Perez.
Mr. Seymour lived some years in Snaln.
and during that time he gathered a lot of
curiosities. His son and namesake went
to Spain a few years ago as United States
Commissioner to the National Exposition
at liarceloiia. and he brought back with
him a wagon load of curiosities. Spanish
swords and daggers and ail the imple
ments oi KMgnuy wanare are repre

sharp fishhook irons with which the bulla
are prodded to make them savage, and on
the other side of the wall is a little holy-
water font, supposed to be hundreds of
years old.
Ancient books by the score are there.
They are in parchment and bound in
rough, untacned skin, but the moths have
riddled them so as to give one th idea
that a b undred sparrow-shot had been fired
through every pa.-e. The books are in
Latin. One of them is dated 15-9. It is a
manuscript Bible, and its appearance indi
cates that the work on it probably occu
pied some years. Some of the books ever
two hundred years old are in a pretty fair
state of preservation.
The relic that Mr. Seymour values most
and preserves with the gr-itest sacred
nes is one containing particles of the
bones of saints who died, some ot tbem.
over a thousand years ago. The frame la
which these are is not unlike the mons
trance in which the Eucharist is kept la

branch is a small giass case containing
tiny piece of bone of one or more sainta,
and on the reverse side ot the case is tae
picture of the original owner. There are.
in ail. relics cf about half a hundred satata.
The names are printed in type something
like what was used in the latter end of the
fifteenth century, shortly after printing
was invented, and tbe giass on the little
caees looks strong enough and odd enough
to have belonged to the same period. The

He had been told earlier in the evening
that tbe bail of the company had been

he remarked that of course this cap was a
reproduction of an older one.

"But how was this preserved in the

It was then explained that the company
was so heavily assessed at the time of the
establishment of the commonwealth
when, as everybody- knows, levies

it had hard work to raise the necefesaryM

There are always some cranks who are
afraid of trees. They want to eat down
trees and think it their mission to do so.
The idea seems to be that one can not have
too much sunlight. . Now sunlight is very
good in its way but trees serve mankind
in many ways more than most people
know of. It has been discovered that while
the air in the center of Paris contains on
an average S.CK0 bacteria to the cubic yard
the air in the parks of that city contain
only 423 in the same space. Trees along
the highways have also their uses In in
tercepting in their foliage the particles of "
soot and street dust which till the air. In
many parts of this country local improve
ment societies are plantiug trees on tbe
streets, decorating church and school
house grounds and supplementing the
work of children on Arbor Days. The
Philadelphia Kecord reports that during
the last seven years the pupils ot the pub- f
uc sellouts in i entity: vania uavw pianieu
more than three hundred thousand trees,
while in New York Slate the total number
of trees planted by the schools on two Ar
bor Days was 51AXL The hygienic value
of such work cannot be overestimated.
We sincerely hope that Arbor Day will
come to be recognised as one of the most
popular days of the year. Buffalo Com

This ts tJke Golden, Are. m
As far as fashion is concerned, says a
London correspondent, the present may,
without any exaggeration, be described as
the " Golden Age." Not only does gold ap
pear in some shape or form in bonnets,
hats, mantles and gowns, but it is now .
considered in the best taste for table de
corations. At one of the most perfectly
appointed dinner tables seen last week all
the glasses were edired with gold, and had
the host's fe-est en craved in gold. The
finger-gtasses were especially beautiful,
being of Venetian design, and the gilding
looking like a fine inlaying of the real
metal. Tho ilower troughs, lamp, candle
sticks and large centre-piece for fern were
all of hand-cut crvstal, mounted in silver
gilt. The flowers used were yellow and
white; no green appeared, exoept in the
fern.
In charming harmony with all the other
appointments were the' new "tassel"
shades, used for candles and lamps. These
wore composed: of ivory silk gauze, fluted
on the usual-shaped fountain, with a
drapery of the material failing tn graceful
festoons at the sides, and caught up at the
comers by a gold oord and tassel. The
small upper part of the shades were alaa
encircled by tbe gold cord.
