All rlghu reaer-ad. It if the nature of a man to pursue. He roKarda the whole world hi a hunt ing ground, and anything tht pleases hla fiuiuy, whether it be a bird, pretty woman or a brute, aa hi lawful prey. lie may nut care for the game or know why he piirimes it, but the chime la Irrouiittiblo, and, like the child with the butterfly, he will tipoil his pretty olothee, itnb hia toe and get hii feet wet running through bramble, and puddles as long aa the winged thing is iu sight. If womnn only knew it she could win her lover by eluding him, for man ever want, what he can't get easily, and prizai most the fruit that hangs highest. To him no beauty is so entrancing as that whicji smiles aud blushee beneath the mystic web of a gauzed veil, and doubly lovely Is tho loveliness that turns and flies at his approach. Henahall knew neither rest nor peace of mind. The throbbing, Bobbing notes of Edna's violin wore as iweet to him aa the muslo of the rolling spheres to the old philosopher. He had eyes for nothing but the soft browns of her hair, latihes, complexion and dress. He thought of her through the day and dreamod of her iu the night, and could they have boon vocalized ev ery sigh, would have uttered, "I will find her." And as he followed this email woman with his thoughts and his soul his bride Lena first became moody, then tearful, and finally so despondont that she threw herself in the armi of her companion and begged her to toll her what to do. Thero was not any too much nectar in the make up of Mrs. Smith, and no dan ger of her iharpening the edge of Mrs. Henshall's sensibilities. Instead of put ting her arm about her neck, and electri fying her medulla spinalis vith the magic of her touch, she took nhuirpiii from her coiffure and proreedoil to loosen the cuticle about tho girl's linger nails. ' "And ho von ore disappointed with tunrrtid Ufo alrnadyT Well, my dear, yon have only made the common, error of expActtiiK too much. You have fool ialily luviMted tlte fluid of wedlock with the rotilctir de nwA, and atudied your hero tlirotiKh the niatfniryiug Uina when you iliould liuve reveraed the gli "rid n ioii nrf (Umippnlnlfd tofti m irrtetl life nlmuluf" "Now let me adviao you not to lie un- it'itaiinulilii; don't tell me you exjxicUtd to marry an un;el. You are a mortal and married to a man, onu of tho qnuer st bruUw tlmt treuils tho earth. Yes, men uro ciiti-r lirutoa," she rnprate.1, crouaing her eye in fancy; "enthusiastic and ilofiTi'iiliiil enough Wore marringe, but an entirely different sort of bn-ed af terward." "lint Ili-nry ixn't; he's the same now tlmt he wm a year ago. lie scarcely notion mo, and never Kpeuki unliiw I aide him a qimtion. Tin-re's something on his mind. It isn't his work, for he hunn't finished a ciiiivns this long time; aud It isn't 1, that's certain." "Now, Lena, don't lie foolish. You get as intii'li putting a the average womun bus a rijjht to expect." "Right? Am 1 nut married to him, bis lawful wife, and shouldn't I expect some evidence of his offectiour "No, exiHi t nothing; you can drive a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Let him get thirsty; let him alone." "But I don't want to let him alone." "And there's just where you make a mistake. When you get your third hus band you'll know how to manage him. The trouble with you is this, you have too many feelings and too much heart. It Is a bother to have feelings, and my ad vice is to get rid of your heart if you want to have good digestion and keep your youth. "A woman with a heart is in the power of her husband; a wife who has uonecan do as she pleases. Take all, give noth ing In return that's the true philosophy of luittriuio'iiul peace if you can't find contentment ; and yon needn't hunt for happtncsH, f r it is unt to be found on this planet in quantities to speak about." This sort of advice was gull and worm wood to the honest, innocent young woman, bnt she knew well enough that her companion spoke from her bitter ex perience, and nnuseons as the dose was she took it, dried her eyes and went to dmw for a walk. They had been nt the Palace hotel iu San FriuicLsoo for a week, and the paint er had sought in vaiu to meet his ideal. The amusement boards were placard ed with bills for her concert engage ment, every performance of which he had attended, lie had cultivated the acquaintance of the theatre manager, and through hi iu secured an introduc tion to Heir Rudolph Opper, whom he hud wined and dined at the hotel. He had smoked, walked and driven with him, and as a lost resort to win hia con fidence begged tho impresario to sit for A portrait. "Now, I would like very much to have you and Mrs. Hensholl meet my little star, but I have nothing to say about it. It rests entirely with her, and she hoi positively refused to make any acquaint ances. These professional women, you know, have to be Immured, but Miss Neville, lam convinced, has a reason for wishing to avoid people, and as she is not well, I feel compelled to respect her wishes." Hensliall was pretending portray the musician ono morning when this conversation took place, and at this re buff his brows knitted, bis heart sank and his brush fell from his hand. "Well, of course, Horr Opper. I don't wish to seem impertinent, but I met Miss Neville several timesin New York." "You did?" interjected the musician, "That is, I saw her heard her play, and I have seen her every night during this engagement My reason for asking to be presented is that I wish to make a picture of her for the next Academy. She is the most beirutiful creature I have ever soon or dreamed of, and if I could only paint her I believe the pict ure would make me famous." The uiodol, who was playfully dove tailing his lingers, offering no answer further than a mild indorsement of the compliment to tho girl's beauty, it sud denly occurred to Henry that it might be policy to get tho assistance of Lena, and excusing himself lio went to call her. While he was away Opper got up to stretch his legs, and in the circuit of the improvised studio came upon a small folio, which carelessly opened rovealod a sketch done on a business card that fair ly took his breath away. "Miss Neville!" he muttered to him self. "Then this is the villian she has been trying to avoid ever since we left New York! My God! and I have been telling him about her. Another! Three! Two more! As I live, there is nothing else. Aud I was seriously thinking to have this mun paint her from life. Well, well, well! this is great luck. I must go; this is something remarkable!" A few moments later, when Honsball returned with his wife to propose an in vitation for a supper party, he was sur prised to find the room vacant There was no sign of Horr Opper in the hall, and as the elevator was at the bot tom of the shaft he wisely concluded that his visitor had gone. The next thing was to send a playfully petulant note after him by messenger, and urge the importance of an early sitting for the next morning, Tho reply dumfounded him. Horr Opper would not be able to keep the appointment nor make another until his return to New York. At the concert that uight the manager could not bo seen, and when he had been repulsed a third time Henry fell to thinking with such (iorco onorgy that he did not notice the burly detective in evening dress who followo I Win into the hall and occupied the seat adjoining his. urn. I Whou Dr. Watson reached Chicago new pair he said he had no use for the and came face to face with his wife and old ones, so they remain in the dead let his antagonist he was momentarily ter office. Washington Cor. St. Louii stunned. QlobVrnwcritt. "Curae the luck!" he thought to him self. "There are fourslonpers in the train, but only one dining car, and no matter how I calcnlatod it would be awkward. There'! no use figuring. I can't do it." And ho in il.mtly bca:ne solicitous for his patient. "My dear sir. what is it? f'tpeak," put ting one hand on the old in w's shoulder and taking his pulse with the other, "You are pale, your eyes ar. glassy and you're chilled. Forgive me, dear Mr. Crawford, the run from New York hai beeu too much for you. We should have laid off at Detroit D.it we'll make amends here." And before the astonished old gentle man could recover hit nrura at thil un expected burst of interest Dr. Watson ligiiulled a porter to conduct him to th. waiting room wliile be went to over take Miss Drown, who had already ar ranged hr suction for the journey. "My dear." he said, taking her by the ami, "I've changed my mind; come out on the platform, I want to speak to you," anxious to avoid the possible recognition of his wife. "Mr. Crawford ii not well, and I huve decided to stay over until to morrow, but yoa can go on alone. Here's tht letter and the tickets, and here's soino money fur your expense. "Oo to Miss Crawford at once, and l"i00 spot cash if you catch the bird and hold her until we arrive. If any thing happens I'll wire yoa and sign the message 'Brother,' so ai not to arouse any suspicions in the mind of Miss Edna ihould she chance to sue it. That's all, I guess. Oood-by, suiter.

The Paris Figaro announces the sale of one of the moet carious violins known to the music fanciers of the world. It is now on exhibition in Paris, where the American tourist can take a peep at it for a few centimes. It formerly be longed to Paganini, the great violinist, and at first sight merely presents the appearance of misshapen-wooden shoe. Iu history is curious. During the win ter of 1838 Paganini was living in a maison de saute called Lea Neothermes, 48 Rue de la Victoria, One day a large box was brought here by the Normandy diligence, on opening which he found inclosed two inner boxes, and, wrapped carefully in several folds of tissue paper, a wooden shoe and a letter stating that the writer, having hoard much of the wonderful genius of the violinist, begged, as a proof of his devotion to music, that Paganini wonld play in pnb lio on the oddly constructed instrument Inclosed. At first Paganini felt this to be on im pertinent satire, and mentioned the facts, with some show of temper, to his friend, the Chevalier de Baride. The latter took the shoe to a violinmakor, who converted it into a remarkably iweet toned instrument Paganini was pressed to try the shoe violin in public He not only did so, but performed upon it some of his most difficult fantasias, which facts, in the handwriting of the violinist, ore now to be seen on the curi ous violin. A Smart Taalk. One enterprising youth made the phe nomenal record of "knocking down" $23 a day while in charge of a construction train, which, it need hardly be said, is never supposed to carry passengers. Under the rigid rules of the avenge auditing department it is doubtful whether money turned in from such a source would be accepted by the presid ing Solons. But the carrying of passengers fell under the eye of the construction de partment and a dismissal followed. Dis charged for this violation of rules, our promising financier re-entered the ser vice on another division of the road, where his indnstry and patience were rewarded in time with a passenger train. It would appear that he stood better in the confidence of his superiors than in that of his fellow conductors, the more cynical of whom expressed doubts about the company's ever getting the train back after he had left town with it Frank H.

At the center of the disturbance the mercury in a good barometer may be lower by throe incites than that in a similar instrument on the verge of the cyclone. This is owing to the diminution of atmospheric pressure consequent on the rotation of the air wheel; and as nature abhors a vacuum, the sea in the vortex rises above its usual level until equilibrium is restored. This storm wave .advances with the hurricane, and rolls in upon the low land like a solid wall. In the Backergunge cyclone of 1870 the storm wave covered the land at the eastern end of the Ganges delta at heights varying from ten to forty-five feet, as measured by marks on the trees. One hundred thousaud lives were lost on this occasion. Chambers' Journal. Queer Thing. In tli Dead Latter Offlce.

Hoped lata a Bad Bet, A Detroitcr who deals In real estate, law, insurance, loons, lawsuits, politics, etc., went over to Chicago the other day. While nearing that city a man came to him and confidentially remarked; "There's a chap in the car back there trying to get a piO bill changed. It's a base counterfeit, and I want to put yoa on your guard." , He was warmly thanked for his kind ness and passed on, and fiv. minutes later a man appeared with a bill in nil hand and asked: "Friend, con you change this twenty?" "Sorry to say I can't," was the prompt reply. "Well, let me have ten and you keep the bill until w. get to Chicago." "Can't do it" "Can't yon let me have fiver "No." "Perhaps yon are afraid of the bill 1 don't claim to know much about money. Is it good or bad?"

"Give me two tens for this?" brusquely queried the stranger, as be handed out the bill. "If I can," replied the conductor, scarcely glancing at it He made out ten and two fives anJ passed them over, and the Detroiter handed over the amount of his bet, kicked himself into the next cor, and he never saw a bit of Lake Michigan a the train made its way into Chicago.

Education counts. Do not undertake to teach a puppy unless you ha ve a large stock of patience. Unless you can control your temper and be persistent in teaching your best course is to buy a dog already trained. But if you want real dog love and con fidence take the animal in bis puppy hood, as eoon as he is able to feed him self, and your efforts will be crowned with a greater success than ever cornea otherwise. No dog ever loves any one so well as his teacher, who represent to him the wisdom and power of the world. A dog's world, yoa know, is a vary nar row one. Suppose yourself the owner of a pap py. He is entirety ignorant "Com. here!" "Go there!" mean the same to him, since they mean nothing at alL He must first learn what yon want, and there you must give yourself the first lesson in patience. Begin with, "Come hereP' Yon can moke him understand what this means by allowing him to see his food in your hand. Teach him nothing else until he knows perfectly what that means and obeys it When he comes to you pat him and pet him. Dogs ore much like children, fond of praise and equally fond of their own ways. If you tell your dog to come to you make bim do it If he never dis obeys he will never know he can disobey. Youth's Companion. Effect of Copper Salta oa India Rubber. In a recent paper Mr. W. Thomson, of Manchester, England, said that it is known that copper salts have a most in jurious effect on India rubber, and as copper is sometimes used in dyeing blacks and other colors cloth so dyed is liable to decompose and harden the rub ber put into it A peculiarity investi gated by the author is that raetalliooop per placed in contact with thin sheets of india rubber brings oxidation and hard ening of its substance, although no ap preciable quantity of copper enters the india rublier, while metallic zino and silver have no injurious effect All oils, except castor oil, have a most detrimental effect .on india rubber, which can best be kept under water, un der glycerine, in coal gas or in a vacuum. The smell of india rubber is one of the characteristics of its decomposition, and it has been noticed that a piece of blot ting paper placed over the decaying rub ber is colored by certain volatile sub stances resulting from the oxidation that produces the hardening. Boston. Transcript ludlan Decorative Art, When the Sioux go on the warpath in anything like reasonable weather they exercise great economy in dress. They paint their ponies with red and black paint in crosses. They also wear their hair loose and flowing, and put a liberal allowance of red and block paint on their faces. Decorative art prevails largely in their moke up. Bugs, rep tiles aud animals, as nearly as the rude ly artistic mind of the Sioux can con trive, are painted on their foreheads and chins, while a cross of red and black paint adorns each cheek.
