A little girl's pious father was wont to comment bitterly upon the evil thing he suw and beard, always ending hi denunciation with the consolatory reflection, "Well, it's none of my husinen."

Hhe Is not very strong, and makcl me think of a tall, white lily, with her flowerlike face, big, dark eyes, aud the pretty way she hua of holding her head. She Is a heroine, too, for I heard her suv one day to seme one who asked her how she kept her pretty complexion and bright ex pression when she was sick so much, that she had read somewhere, "Thut no matter how much a woman suffered she should ever make np faces and get wrinkles, but bear pain without grinning," and that she had always tried to remember It. An aw fully good motto for other fair women to pin up In a conspicuous place! The pretty wife of the handsome Hoosier CougrcsMiinn, Benjamin F. Hhively, was Itura Kniiua Jcuks, daughter of Hon.

Some of the handsomest women in Wash ington, I think, are those with gray hair, especially when it is premature, a it so often is. One of these women, and for even or eight reasons one of the most popular, Is Mrs, Outhwaite, wife of Mr. Joseph H. Outhwaite, representative from Ohio. Ihu soft ring) of gray hair above the expressive dark eyes, the winning smile and sweet manner make her a lovely and very attractive woman. Mrs. Outh wuita was. born in Ohio. Her father, Jeremiah D.'

Nicaragua is determined to have immi grants If they are to be had. llercongresl ha offered a tempting bait to prusiective settlers In the form of a recently passed lair which authorizes the executive to "Stand bv vour bout!" Thi command wa shouted from tbl bridge of thu steamship Kansas of thi Warren line on Nov. 4, lfOI, by Captain Aleinnder Fenton. A report like the dl charge of a heavy piece of ordnance bad just been beard in tbe after part or tnt ship, and the great iron hull had been shaken from stein tosteru. Immediately the screw had ceased to revolve, and thi Kansus was as hel plus in the arms of thi ocean a a bube in the lap of its mother. The men responded with alacrity, and la less time than It takes to tell it everything was In readiness for a hasty depurturt from the ship if necessity demanded It While these precaution were being tuken tbe chief engineer emerged from below. and going to where the captain stood In formed him that the shaft had broken short off aliout twenty-five feet inboard. II can readily lie understood what an accl dent of this nature means, as the sail ares of a modern steamship is hardly sufficient to give her steering headway even In gale. The steamer Kansas sailed from Liver pool on the !ith of October with general cargo of Knglish merchandise. She was In splendid condition, having recently comi off the dry dock In thorough repair. II was her ninety-third trip across the At luntic, and, while not starting out to break her record, the captuin lielieved he would have a most successful passage, hvery thing worked smoothly until tbe afteruoot of Nov. 4, when the accident occurred, and the ship took even chance of going to tht bottom of the ocean. There wo a heavy sea on at the time. and the wind bowled through the rigging with a force that threatened to wrench it from lu fastenings. The log showed thai the ship was just 811 mile off Fast net when she received the shock that camt very near ending her career. When It wai learned that the shaft hud parted, an ex nniinutlou showed that the trouble was it the stern tube, which is probably the most dangerous point on the whole length ol the great shaft, a at that particular spol the packing is used to prevent the wuici working into the tunnel Here wa an emergency that Captalt '. Fenton was quick to appreciate. It wai shown that the ship was nuikiug over SOt tons of water per hour, and that the safetj of the vessel nnd perhaps the lives of thost on board depended on checking this flow It was a perilous undertaking to gointc the tunnel, as the water rushed in with thi force of a Niagara. "Who will volunteer to follow mef" sulci the captain to h ih men. All of the ofllcers stepped forward and one brave semuan. While the cnptulc could have ordered any member of his crew into the tunnel, yet be felt he would not call tiMin them to go where be was not willing to lead the way Down into the black depth of the shit descended the men -until the tunnel wai reached. A hasty survey showed that it wa half filled with witter. Groping theii way along it murky darkness tbe sturn box was finally reached. Here tho water wai nearly up to the armpits of the daring of fleer and of icy coldness. The danger ol the undertaking wits enhanced by the fact thut any accident to the pumping en gines and the tunnel would have becomt 11 lied with water, rendering escape iinno siblu. But the machinery worked all right for the time, aud kept the flow parti) under control while the repairing was go ing on. The officers hud tuken with then ropes, blankets nnd any other material that could be used to advantage in dimin ishing tho rush of the wutcrs. An attempt was made to chain or chuck up the broken end of tho shaft, but in this only partial success wits attained. The men remained at their labors for over four hours, and when they emerged it was with difficult that their limbs were mude to relax theii rigidity. After this tho captain turned his atten tlon to doing what he could to muke port f irst or au t no sails wero set, then tbe can vas on tho small boats was hoisted, theii covers wero also put up to the breeze, ev ery spare sail was brought up and rigged so a to catch the puffs of wind; the cargt booms and derricks were also utilized, aud thus decorated the Kansas presented on of the most, novel marine pictures that was ever seen on the Atlantic. Under the Influence of tho moderntt breeze the steamer took up a sort of drift ing course, or, as the sailors call it, slit had a leeway of six points, and crept thi water at the rate of 2( knots per hour Practically sho went dead to leeward. Th prospects of reaching shore were not very Assuring, but all that human ingenuit could ueviso had bran done. On and ou she drifted, until it was he licved she would ultimately reach thi French coast. In the meantime the pump: brgun to cause trouble, as under constant use they became choked aud worn, which necessitated stopping them from time U time to make repairs. During these tiuici the water frequently rose to a height ol even icet m the ship. The ship rolled heavily, nnd a great part of the cargo be came broken and the contents of barrel) and boxes wero a confused mass In tht bold. On the sixth duy after the accideut thi British steamer Vondram sighted thi Kansas And sent a bout off to see what assistance she could render. It was do Cided that the Vondram should tow tht crippled ship into Liverpool, and arrange ments to that end were immediately cur ried out. The Kansas was nracticaUvhebv loss, and tho great strain that came upon the hawser was more than they could Bianu.

There la no doubt that the more a man studies the plumbing of his home the mow "Who is that dark featured man with the heavy mustacher 1 inquired of an employee when be bad made a landing Tbe subject of my query wa bntiia2 about in the swarm, of foreigners, spea. ing half a dozen language at the sam time; now showing some stupid Dutch man the way to the railroad office; now aying a kind word to some forlorn Polbih peasant woman; now speaking in perfect English to a fellow official, for the gold letters on bis hat told tne that be was connected with the service. There waa something about the man which at once interested and puzzled me. "Ah! shure, sir. an thut's the count, a we calls him, seein as he wears them boy toned clothes and toothpick shoes bnt he's a dacent chap enough for all that, sir." 1 now noticed that "the count" s. dressed iu excellent, almost elec-ant style, his Prince Albert coat having cer tainly been made by a London tailor; bis trousers falling in faultless lines and' creases over a pair of patent leather shoes. Once or twice as he moved nlwmt 1 caught a glimpse of a scarlet waistcoat such ua the extreme swells of Paris am fond of wearing. His linen, too. wai such a betrays the gentletnuu, and th careful droop and curl of his black mus tache could only have been obtained by long familiarity with the curling irons. "Here," 1 reflocted, "is a man who dresses and carries himself and look like a howling European swell, acting as Interpreter for a mob of unwashed euij. grants. 1 wonder who he is?" 1 asked the question of another man wearing the official cup. He s the dude, that s what he is," was the only answer 1 could get. An other man called him "the baron," and Dually I got bold of the chief of the rail road department, who gave me the key to the puzzle. The man you have noticed," said he. "is one of the most willing and efficient employees in my department, and yon will be moderately astonished whenl tell you that he is known and received in the best society of a dozen cities, in- ' eluding New York, London and Paris. He is no other than the Baron de Urune- baum." "What, the Baron de Orunebaum New York society made such a fuss over a few years ago?" "Precisely. Tbe Baron de Orune- bantu, whom Mrs. Astor and all the rest of the Four Hundred danced with and lionized." The baron was bowing to a fat woman enveloped in an antique shawl with the same courtly ease he might have dis played in saluting a millionaire partner at the Patriarchs' ball.

A few words put us at our ease, and the baron, not without hesitation, finally ac cepted my invitation to a quiet dinner a few days later. Then he went back to his duties and 1 to mine. The dinner came, and 1 hope the baron enjoyed it as much as 1 did. The conversation was entirely in French, which he speaks, aa he does English, German, Italian, Hungarian, Bohemian and 1 don't know how many others, with scarcely a trace of foreign accent. "Why, you know 1 came to America about eight months ago at the wish of my father," he said; "but stop a moment, these papers have said so much that U false and outrageous about me thut 1 am not sorry to have a chance to set myself right .1 will tell you how my father came to send me to America. 1 had been living at a pretty rapid pace, with gam bling and so on, and bad run myself into debt up to the eyes, as 1 thought 1 had a right to do, being the only son of a uiun who is immensely wealthy. Thingscume to a crisis about a yeitr ago, and I ap pealed to my father, who promised to pay my creditors if I would show my in tention of living a more serious life by going to America and taking a ranch out in Nebraska, where he thought the healthful outdoor work would getnie into better habits, I agreed and came to America with about .'0,000 capital, which he advanced me. That was all I could have under any circumstances for a year to come. "Unfortunately, soon after landing m New York I made the acquaintance of a delightful fellow who persuaded me to invest my money in Chicago Uas stock at fifty-two. He said I would havef 100.000 in a month. St I would and more had be made the investment a little later, for Chicago Uas has since touched eighty. As it was, the stock broke on some ru mor and my margin was wiped out and 1 was left without resources. I could not go back to Europe because of the promise 1 made to my father; 1 was too proud to beg; I was incapable of doing a dishonorable action, so I sought such employment as 1 could get, and you have seen what 1 have found. If I have been foolish and extravagant 1 have been the only one to suffer for my follies, and I am trying to take my medicine, a yon say in America, like a iuau." New tork Herald.
