"Well, what is it that has turned my laughter Into a prophetcssP" said tint doctor, smiling fmiilly at ttuth ovcrhis teacup. "Wliy, to-night Id the night of Daisy Hammond's party, and it's time my flowers appeared." 'Oil, you thought you'd 'temper tho wind to tlm shorn laml)1 liy making somebody el so pay for the bouquet? Well, that was considerate) of you," and Dr. Murdoch crossed tho hull and entered his olVieo just as Klsio re appeared with along white box. ' Gentle Mrs. Murdoch leaned on her daughter's shoulder as the girl took oil tho tissue coverings which irolecled tlnidninty blossoms from the January cold. At tint bottom of tho box lay it creamy mass of Murcchul, Niels, guth in their lii'M perfection. Mrs. Murdoch listened for Knlli's exclamation of do light, but it did not come. Instead, after a brief look, and a slight but significant smile, tint owner of the box loscd it with a bung, and placing it on llio table, turned to leave (lie room, "Aren't you going to put your roses In waterP" called her mother after her. "You may set them in the library, if you choose. I am not going to wear them to night." was tho reply; and Iiuth went upslairs. Mrs. Miirdocli had been educated in tho days when whistling was no part of gill's education, so she simply uttered the good old-time expression of aston ishment "Well, 1 never!" and proceed ed to take earn of the roses. Tho trouble was certainly no disappoint ment as to the sender, for Mrs. Mur doch had caught it glimpse of the card With the linn "Kdward Leslie. M. ).," engraved in the renter; und only last night she and the doctor had decided that Until was becoming too fond of young Ned Leslie. They had no ob jection to the handsome young fellow who had already gathered the next best practice in town to Dr. Murdoch's; hut they were far from ready to give up their only daiightei. There had been no chance for a tpiarrel since Ruth had announced that she and Dr. Leslie were going to this German to gether, so the situation might well piw.lo Mix Murdoch's brain. That the Innocent Mareehal Niels were themselves the source of the mis chief never entered her imagination. Hut such was really tho ea.se. ahd this lithe way it all happened: The night before, Dr. Leslie had called at the Murdochs', and the principal topic of conversation had been the next even ing's entertainment. As he rose to go, ho had asked Kutli, with a touch of in tention in his tone, what color she was to wear to the (iernian. "(Mi. my dress is cream-colored crepe i Chine, and 1 must have lilies of the Yalley to go with it,", she answered gnyly; and since both at home and in lirhlgovillo society her word was law, ho had conlideiitly expected the lilies. Of course, they must be costly In Jan uary, and Neil Leslie was not rich liko aiany of the circle in which she moved; but Dr. Murdoch's daughter knew nothing of the practical Inconvenience f the lack of money. She was more likely to think that' ca.vful expendi ture meant meanness -a fault which her generous soul abhorred; and all her liking for young Leslie could not over the dire faot that he had sent ruse when she had asked for lilies. For a few moments' she sat in her easy chair considering the problem; then she donned out-of-door costume und went slowly downstairs. Mr. Murdoch had a second shock of itston- ihhment when her daughter appeared l the library iloor. muffled in sealskin nd Asked if there wero any errauds downtown. "1 should think." she said, "that you would save up for to-nhiht, instead o! going out Into the bitter cold. Let me send Dennis for whatever vou want." Unless you have some want, 1 have but one errand, mamma, and IVunis could hardly do that. Good bye." and the heavy front door dammed behind her, "That one errand must he a vcrv Utilising one," meditated Mr. Mur doch; "she looked brimful of fun. What she's up to 1 can't make out," ml she gave a little sigh. Neither was her state of mind much illuminated when Kut.li returned, half nn hour later, with a tiny parcel, from which she carefully extracted six sprays of lily of tho valley, and put them in witter. "One, two, three, four, five, six," said her father, who bad como in be hind her. "Is your allowance played out, Kut hie? 1 might have advanced you a few cents in consideration of tin party." "No, thank you, papa; I am a lon way from beirrg insolvent tmico I gave up caramels I am qui to a capitalist;'' and Kutli vatnsheil to takooll tier wrap pings. That night when she enme down stair dressed for the party the carriage wan already there, and Dr. Leslie and the eklor physician wero in the library talk ing about endemic fevers. Sim had brought down several yards of cream colored ribbon of the width which fash ion dictated ns the proper one for tying bouquets. Dr. Murdoch looked on won deringly as hu watched Until tin the huge bow around the tiny stems of the lilies she had bought in the after noon. He was about to silently conclude that this wan tho latest absurdity of feminine fashion, when he caught sight of Leslie's crimson face, and Kuth's demurely mischievous air. "Will you take my bouquet, please? I believe I am nil ready now," said she, tendering tint ridiculous posy to Dr. Leslie, "(ioml night, pit pit, or are you going to sit up for mop" and the two people started for the door. Leslie took the flowers and escorted Miss Murdoch to the carriage, lie entered after her, and shut the door with a single bang, instead of the half dozen usually required by livery vehi cles. "Miss Murdoch, where are your roses?" said he quietly as the cab rolled off. "I took them back to the florist, and this is what I got for them," was the calm answer; and tho lilies wero held for a moment in the light from the carriage lamp. "I wanted lilies, And the quantity would make no difference, as every body would know who sent them." There wits a very little sup pressed triumph iu the tone, but otherwise it was perfectly common place. For a moment or two neither spoke; then Dr. Leslie said slowly: "Except that it would seem that 1 have been lacking in respect to your wishes, the public mortification would matter very little to me. I wanted to send you the lilies. Miss Murdoch, but they asked twenty dollars for a bunch of respect able size, ami this week I have to make the last payment of the money I bor rowed for my education. 1 have strug gled hard to free myself from this debt, that 1 might honorably offer you my love. 1 ought, not to speak of this, but I had to tell you that your slightest wisli was dearer to mo than life than all but honor. Why, Miss Murdoch! why, Uuth!" in a changed tone, for the girl hail burst into passionate tears, "shall 1 order tho cab to drive home?" "N-o," sobbed Ruth. "I -didn't know about those debts. I thought -you were m-meaii and I'd teach you n lesson. I do want to to " but the sentence was lost iu the noise of the cab, and one scat was unoccupied the rest of the way. When Dr. Leslie met Kutli at. the dressing-room door lie thought that she was lovelier than ever, iu spite of the peculiar appearance of her lashes. The long ribbon had disappeared, and the lilies were tucked iu her belt in an art ful fashion which did not even faintly suggest that there should have been more of them. It was a heatihY evening for at least two of Miss Hammond's guests, and when it was over there was another happy half-hour iu the library with Dr. Murdoch. Huth related the story of the lilies, and Dr. Leslie told of his hard boy hood and his student years, how Huth had doubled the value of life by asking for half of the modest income which be had finally gained. The doctor laughed over the first story, but was very sober during the second. At the end he looked at the carpet, and said huskily: "I don't knoty that 1 can do any thing;" then, with a smile, "Untitle has taken things into her own hands, as usual, and I am very glad that you sound on the question of typhoid." Of course, after a few months, Dr. Murdoch's old sign was taken down, and a new one, reading "Murdoch & Leslie," was put in its place; ami of course, too, when the junior partnci; wants to please his wife lie brings, not lilies of the valley, but Mareehal Niels.

Claim Sprcckels, the man who issii posed to own tho Hawaiian Islands among other li'.lle things, is here, and is one of the most noted men in town. Spreckels is a stout num. with white hair and beard. His most strikingfeal ure is his eyes, and such eyes they are. They are gray anil blue at times, anil .cem to look riirlit throiiirli you. He speaks with a slight German accent and uses gestures freely to emphasize his remark. He said to the correspond ent: "I am nt a loss to understand the apathy of tho people of the United States towards the. Hawaiian Islands. Naturally in the course of time they would become a part of the domain of this count rv. and they will, too, if we would only take some interest in the lircat properties owned by Americans here. It is the most glorious climate in (lie world. The temperature never varies more than eight degrees and the soil will grow everytliingthatiskuown to tiie earth. The people lire splendid specimens and of excellent disposi tion." "How about leprosy?" "I can tell you as much about leprosy as any other man, but really I do not pretend to understand it. J lie lepers are banished to an island, from wheiico they are never allowed to return. No body has ever been able to learn how leprosy originated or how it can be cured. It appears in the most curious ways, and leaves men and women untouched who have suffered the greatest exposure. 'The most striking instance of this fact is the case of the present Queen of Hawaii. The King is her second husband. Her first hus band was a leper, and her two children by him both died by the horrible dis ease, and yet she is a perfectly healthy woman. Nobody knows how leprosy is communicated. The most eminent authorities who havo looked into the siibjectconteiid that it is not contagious. Several years ago a white man was condemned to death for a murder which lie had committed. The au thorities allowed him to choose be tween being executed or passing into the hands of a noted German physician for experimental purposes. The crimi nal cheerfully chose the latter, lie was inoculated time and time again with leprosy, but the disease had no ef fect upon him, ami to-day he is as healthy a man as there is on the islands. Leprosy does not often attack the white race, for out of the thousands of eases there are to-day only about a half doen Caucasians. These are facts beyond dispute. In my judgment Kuglnud will take some very aggressive measures to obtain possession of the islands before many years. The native race is rapidly dying out, and it is a question of it very short time before the country will pass under the control of a foreign power. Washington Cor. Huston Traveler.

Having a fancy is one thing. Per ceiving an ideal is quite another tiling. To fancy that one, of whom we know but little, is faultless, or that he is above all ordinary planes of conduct and thought and feeling, is to deceive ourselves, and is to prepare the wav for a bitter disappointment when the truth in the case shall fairly be known. Hut to recognize iu another the very highest standards of purpose and en deavor of which we have any idea, as purely human standards, is to be in structed and inspired in the direction of those standards; and no disclosure of that person's failure to attain to his own evident standards will lower the ideal which he represents to us iu piv. senting those ideals. As applied to those toward whom we are attracted, a fancy is what we think another to lx; an ideal is what we see that another wants to lie, and would have ns to be. The fancy in such a case is unreal; but the ideal is the realest thin!; in the world. Where the unreal fancy de ceives, the .actual ideal mspires. Yet i Mere are those who think that all their fancies are ideals; and who finally cease to spir toward, an ideal, be cause a fancy has so many times disap pointed them. S. if. Timet. Irit LEBEL RIFLE. Denrriptlve Areount or the New Arm or tin French Army. The Lcbel rifle, as the new arm is called, was invented by Lieutenant Colonel Lebel, principal of the artillery Hchool at Chalons. Its remarkable qualities are lightness, long range mid extraordinary penetrating power. Ac cording to the scientific researches of the mathematician, l'''"'- Hebler, it was supposed that tho absolutely per fect army rifle should bt) a weapon with a caliber of precisely seven mill imeters. Tho Lebel rillo has not fo small a caliber, but oilers the nearest approach to it yet made viz. : Fight millimeters. With t Ii i caliber the ad vantages are: a lighter cartridge; a greater penetrating power, and a much less liability of the missile to be devi ated from its course by a strong wind. The ball is so covered with steel and brass, ns to enable it to preserve its form and to follow precisely the grooves of the barrel. Its initial ve locity is exactly 100 meters per second greater than that of the (Iras rille, which had an initial velocity of 4")iJ meters, while the Lebel boasts a ve locity of .010 meters. It revolves upon itself 5,000 times p.-r second alway. traveling point lirst. At a distance of 1,800 meters its tire is as fatal as within a lesser distance; and as the line of the projectile is almost perfectly straight, extraordinary hits can be made at immense ranges. To obviate the shock of recoil consequent upon so prodigious an expelling force, a special powder has been invented by Colonel Hrugere, which detonates progressively without smoke and with comparatively little noise. The shooter feels the weapon push docs not feel a sudden and painful jar. Three wooden shields placed at about twenty-live yards apart were easily pierced iu a straight line by one rifleshot the bell traveling on five hundred meters further without chang ing its course to strike the outlying target aimed at precisely in the center. Tlio movable breech piece is shorter than in the (Iras rille, but oilers it greater resistance and the recoil fol lows the axis of the weapon. On linding themselves in possession of so extraordinary an arm, it was for some time a question witli the military authorities whether or not to adopt it in its simplest form, as tin; best of single-shot breech loaders. Hut as Austria is adopting the Manulichcr re pealer, Italy the Vitali repeater, Ger many the Mauser magazine gun, it seemed necessary to make the Lebel a repeater aUo; as ti ps armed with a single shot rille only, however good, would easily become demoralized by the mere conviction that they were face to face with enemies armed with magazine guns.
