THE FAIRY SPRING.
"A picnic in tho glen, Kit! Just
wluit l'vobeen wishing fori Oi courao
it will bo on tho knoll, near Bncon
place, ami "
"Of courso," interrupted Kittie,
"Mr. Lionel Uncon will bo there, nnd
if, under thfl nombined influonco of
the poetic woods nnd a heavy dinner,
Miss Agnes Halo doesn't niako him
propose beloro tho day is over sho
deserves to forfeit all her laurels
won!"
Agnes deigned no rep'y, nnd wo will
uso tho pause to explain that sho was
the bello of tho country round, and
that Lionel Bacon was the most eligi
bio young man in the samo country;
nnd thnt, in addition to being rich
nnd hnndsomo, he was also honorable
nnd manly. He lived with his broth
er's family at Bacon place, and was
an admirer of Miss Halo's but up to
tho present time ho had failed to avow
any warmer feeling, which piqued that
lady not a little, for sho was not nc
customed to having her charms with
stood, and sho had secretly resolved
to beconi6 Mrs. Lionel Bacon.
The pickmckers were cathercu in
tho glen. It was a grand day, clear
and bright without a shadow of a
cloud to portend tho shower that al
ways comes, and everyone was in good
humor.
Agnes and Kittio wero both in the
party; Agnes as fresh and beautiful
as the day, and Kittio looking very
well for her quiet little self, for sho
was neither a beauty nor a genius,
only a fresh-hearted sensible girl, nblo
and willing to tako her share of tho
everyday Bunshino and cloud of or
dinary life.
Lionel Bacon had not vetanneared.
but Acnes did not expect him till noon
and she employed her sparo time in
Bliedamg sweet smiles on ner oilier
swains.
The snow-white cloths wero,spread,
and a most tempting least was dovel
oping itself when a voice cried:
"Who will go to tho spring for wn
ter?"
"J will," said Kittie, nnd sho seized
a jug.
"Allow mo to carry that, Miss Kit
tie," cried Fred Jones, rising from his
seat by Agnos, whom ho had been
fanninn.
Kittio knew her sister did not like
adorers to leave her side for any
other woman, and she attempted to
decline tho oiler, but lie persisted, nud
ing:
"You como too Miss Agnes, for this
is a fairy spring, and if you chance to
reach it at just tho right moment you
will find a water nymph who will tell
you your late. Who knows but this
inav be the appointed tune Will you
try?"
Agnes laughed assent, and thoy set
out lor the spring. Thoy soon reached
it, and, sitting beside it, found, not a
nymph or a fairy, but as dirty and
bedraggled and sorry a looking child
as one could wish to behold, who, as
they approached, sprang up and ran
to meet them, nnd, bcizing Agnes'
dainty dress in her dirty, trembling
hands, sobbed:
"Tako mo home! Please take mo
home!"
Agnes snatched hir dress away
and pushed tho child from her ex
claiming: "Good gracious! Vou dirty little
thing! Oo away! lou havo ruined
my dress!"
But Kittio went to tho littlo thing
and tried to comfort her.
"For pity's sake, Kit," Agnes con
tinued, as her sister wiped the tear
stained face with her handkerchief,
"what are you doinc? I wouldn't
touch tho filthy thing for tho world!"
Mr. Jones looked uncomfortable.
Kittie turned from Agnes and gavo
her attention to tho child. Mr. Jones
filled tho jug, and then stood irreso
lute between them. Agnes grow im
patient. It was past noon; Lionel
Bacon would arrive at tho picnic be
foro sho returned, and sho did not
wish that to happen. Sho asked pet
tishly: "Well, Mr. Jones, are you going
back with me, or will you also join
tho foundling service?"
Mr. Jone3 turned to Kittie.
'I am very sorry, Miss Kit "
"Oh, never mind!" interrupted
Kittie. "You po back with her. I
shall do what I can for this baby,
and then I think I can find tho way
back alone."
They left her, and Kittio washed
tho little face and tried to smooth
out tho rumpled dress, and discovered
in so doing that the face was delicnto
nnd pretty and tho dress lino and
handsome Bho tried to learn from
tho child who sho was and whoro sho
belonged, but in vain. Sho was a
mero baby, scarcely three years old,
and all Kittie could get her to suy
was:
"Take me home to mamma arid
Annie!"
Kittio was in despair, and had iust
decided to take the child to tho picnic
when there was a rustlo In tho bushes,
nnd the next miuuto a nurse, aproned
and capped and with a wliito, scared
face, appeared, and the child screamed
"Annie, Annie!" and ran to her.
A few words told tho story. The
nu roe had taken the child into tiie
woods and she had strayed away,
and the nurse had been searching for
her, wild witli terror, and was almost
discouraged when she found her.
This sho poured out, mingled with
thanks and blessings for Kitty, and
then, taking the child in her arms,
she went away, and Kitty returned to
tho picnic.
They were in ilc midst of dinner
when sho arrived and in high gleo.
Lionel Bacon was there, and Agnes
was happy with him at her side. A
shout greeted Kittio's appearance, for
Agnes had told the story with a color
ing of her own.
"Where is tho foundling?" cried a
voice. "Wo nro dying to see her, for
wo havo resolved to adopt her and
call her tho daughter of tho picnic."
Kittio's face flushed, but sho replied,
quietly:
"I am sorry that you will not bo
able to carry out your praisoworthy
design, but I delivered tho baby to
her nurse, who will restore hor to her
family."
Tho day alter tho picnic Agnes was
in a bad humor. Lionel had not pro
posed: in fact, ho had decidedly re
laxed his attention to her, nnd, in ad
dition to this.she had gotten a budcoat
of sunburn nnd was almost euro sho
had discovered a frecklo. She lounged
listlessly around the room, conitort
ing herself by saying ill-natured things
to Kittie, who bore them with com
mendable patience, till they wero both
attracted by the sound of a carriaqo
at the gate. Agnes hastened to tho
window and exclaimed:
"I declare, Kit, if it isn't Bacon's
carriage, and tho coachman is bring
ing a note. What can it mean?"
She put out her hnnd to tako tho
note as tho maid brought it in; but,
to tho supriso of both, it was for Kit
tie, who opened it and read aloud:
My Dkak Miss Kittik I havo just
learned from my brother how much I
am indebted to you for your kindness
to baby yesterday. I should havo
como to you myself, but lam confined
t tho house with a cold, and in con
sideration of this I beg you will return
with tho carriage, that I may tell the
gratitude I am unable to write.
Yours, affectionately,
Maktha'Bacox.
Kittio ceased reading and Agnes
broko out
"Heavens! Who could havo dream
ed that dirty littlo imp was her child?
I havo indeed thrown away my fate,
for Lionel Bacon will never enter this
house again." And sho burst into a
Hood of tearo.
Agnes' mortification was deep and
bitter, but sho soon healed it by mak
ing new conquestH. Sho was, however,
wrong in ono thing. Lionel Bncon
did enter tho house again, nnd when
the next spring time camo he took
from it little Kittie, to make her his
wife. Sho found her fate at the fairy
spring.
Sudden Changes of CUnmtc.
Popular Scioncn Monthly.
If a blizzard of unusual severity wero
coming from thoNorthwest thai would
send tho thormometer down 50 deg.
or 70 deg. in three hours, we should
expect a great increase of pneumonia
or other respiratory diseases, result
ing in deaths. Now instead of threo
hours, suppose tho mercury was to
drop 00 deg. in threo minutes or
tako another stop in fancy, nnd sup
pose this great change to tako placo in
threo seconds what would likely bo
tho ellect of health? And yot wo bring
about.artificially, changes to ourselves
qui to as sudden nnd as severe as tills.
We mako an artificial climate in our
houses. Wo livo indoors in an atmos-
nheio heated by stoves, furnaces or
steam-pipes, to 70 or 80 deg.,
nnd wo pass from our parlor to hall
so heated into tho open air. At a stop,
literally in a breath, tho temperature
of tho air has, for us, dropped fiO to
70 deg. Wo may put on an extra
coat or shawl and shield tho outside
of tho body and chest, but wo can not
shield the delicnto linings 'and mem
branes of tho air passages, tho bron
chial tubes, tho lung colls. Naked,
they receive tho full forco ofthochnngo
tho last breath at 70 deg., tho next
at freozmg or zero and all unprepar
ed. We have been sitting perhaps for
hours, in a tropical atmosphere; nny,
worse, in an atmospliero deprived by
hot iron surfaces of its ozono and
natural refreshing and bracing quali
ties. Our lungs aro all relaxed, debili
tated, unstrung; and in this condition
tho cold air strikes them perhaps 00
deg. below what they aro graduat
ed to and prepared for. Is
it Btrango if pneumonia and bronchi
tis aro nt hand? If we are in
tho West Indies, or oven in Florida,
and wish to como North in winter, wo
trv to mako tho change gradual. But
in our houses we keep up a tropical
climate, or worse, for wo havo not tho
freshness of air that prevails
in an open tropical atmosphere,
nnd wo step at once into an
atmosnhoro as much colder as -10 do-
grees diflerenco of latitudo will mako
it. It is in effect going irom uiba to
Iceland or at least to Now York at
a step, and wo mako tho journoy per
haps a dozen times a day. And often,
whilo wo are still shut up in our domt-
ciliairy Cuban climate, Iceland conicu
down upon us from an open window.
Especially is this likely to occur in
school, where children will instinctive
ly seek to get a breath of fresh air
that lias not had all its natural re
freshing qualities quite cooked out of
it by hot stoves, lurnaccs or steam
pipes. And all these 6iiuuen changes
and shocks of cold como upon us
while the whole system has its vitality
and powers of resistance gauged down
to tho low necessities of a tropical
climate.
Countliifr in Bnnlc Notes.
Tho bank noto has any number of
jnemies. These conspiro to shorten
ita nvernco life of threo years fcome-
tnncs to less than as many weeks.
Had habits nrefatal to it. If it starts
out on a tour of tho drinking plnces
and falls into low company the chances
aro a dozen to ono that it will turn
tip at tho redemption agency in a few
.lavs, a ragged and disreputable vaga
bond, to bo chewed up nnd mndo into
pnpiernmeho frogs, turtles, etc., for
paper-weights. Tho bloody fingers of
a butcher and dirty pockets into
which tho bills aro stuffed, wadded up
in everyway, are not especially friend'
ly to tho life of the bill, nud fire nnd
wator claim many of thorn for their
victims in a- year.
Tho charred and blackened remains
of many thousand notes appear at
the treasury department every month.
Thoy como in singly, in half-dozens,
nnd somotimcs in great packages,
charred through and through. All tho
burned bills go into tho hands of ono
lady in tho comptroller s ollice, whoso
duty it is to identify them beforotluy
can bo redeemed. If the notes aro
stuck together in a crisp, black mass,
sho first separates them, ono at a
tune, with a kmfo made with tho tlutv
nest possible blado for tho nurnoso
Tho remains of each noto is then laid
upon a glass slab and very closely
scrutinized through a magnifying
elass. Tho ladv is familiar with tho
minute peculiarities of the issuo of
notes by tho various banks and it
rarely occurs that some clow to tho
identity of tho noto is not discovered.
Notes which nro mutilated go to
tho redemption ngency, which owes
its origin to Gen. Spinner. Hero
about 1(50,000,000 notes on an aver
ngo ato handled livo times each in a
year, tho largest numbers coming in
January and June. An oxport can
handle about ten thousand notes in a
day. hen tho notes nro received
thoy havo to bo "counted in." Tho
"counter-in must go overthom twice,
and if any mistake is made or any
countorleic passed the loss is deduct
ed from tho salary of the ono making
tlie error. Tlio counter is hnnded a
bunch of trom 5,000 to 10,000 notes,
tor which a rccoipt is givon, and if,
vhon they aro "counted back," tho
t.wo counts agree, credit is given for
them. Each packago bears tho name
ot tho counter and tho amount which
it contains.
When tho notes aro thus counted
they go to the "sorters," where thoso
in good condition aro separated from
tnoso tnat aro badly dolapitlatcd
Next they aro arranged according to
denomination and then distributed
into banks ol issuo After 'this thoy
aro grouped into denominations, tho
head of tho bank putting them out,
nnd are finally "counted out." Tho
"counter-out" must handle tho notes
threo timo. Tho responsibility of tho
"counter-in" is much greater than
that of tho "counter-out." The
"counter-in" must bear in mind con
stantly tho name of every bank whoso
notes havo been counterfeited. Tho
greater part of tho work in this de
partment is done by women, and tho
degree of expertness displayed is little
dtiort of marvelous.

How Cong-resfiiinii "Browne, ol
Vh g;iiiln, AVns Elected.
From tho Unltimoro Herald.
Congressman-elect Browne, of tin
Ninth Virginia District, will probabls
bo recognized as the best poker-playei
in congress when ho goes to Washing
ton. He has the reputation of havinf
a moro profound knowledgo of tin
science of tho game and having l'akec
in more big pots than any other mar
in tho state. Ho comes from tlu
mountainous Southwestern portion
of tho State, whero poker is cultivated
as assiduously as tho meager cropt
and where a knowledge of tho gamt
is rogatded na a necessary part o!
every man's education.
His election to Congress was duo in
a great measure to his poker reputa
tion. In ovcry place Browne Went to h
was cheered almost as much by Dem
ocrats as Republicans, and ho fre
quently gavo practical demonstrations
to tho voters that Ins reputation was
honestly earned. Election .day came
around, and it was ovident that Henry
stock was away down; aud tho result
proved this to be tho caso as Brown
was elected by several thousand ma
jority, gaining about 2,000 Democrat
ic voters. Mr. Browno's only equal
in binding is Gaines, of Petersburg.
Theso two mot onco and tried then
weapons. After making tho pot eovoral
hundred dollars they 6howod up
Gaines having a pair of deuces anu
Browne a pair of fours.
Mr. Browne plays by rules and is a
real scientist in his own way. A fo
of theso rules wero givon to as
admiring constitutcnt last Fall, and
hore aro somo extracts:
1. Never bet on tho first hnnd unless
you havo threo ot a kind or better.
2. If you havo a pair nnd an aco,
hold on to tho aco in tho discard.
JJ. Nover draw to kings.
4. If thero aro moro than two men
in a jack pot, nover havo any confi
dence in anything but a full hnnd oi
hotter.
5. Nover draw to a middlo straight.
0. Nover draw to a Btraight flush.
7. Nover break a pair undor any
circumstances.
8. If your opponent, after looking
at his cards, drops them cardesolj
and folds his arms, keep out.
0. Nover tako your eyes fromy out
opponent's fnco during tho betting,
not oven when picking up your chips.
10. Nover allow a pot to bo taken
in without a call.
Somo players may doubt tho ex
pediency of somo of theso rules, but
they certainly stood Mr. Browno ir
good stead during his scientific career,
A Conscientious Surgeon.
A remarkable suicido has recontlj
been committed in St. Potersbury. A
short timo ago a woman, aged 23,
camo to consult Dr. Botkine, whe
found that sho was suffering from s
tuberculous ulcer. An operation be
ing deemed necessary, Dr. Botkine sont
her to M. Kolominno, n surgeon of con
siderable repute. Ho administered tc
her a slight dose of salino acid of co
caine, nnd, finding this did not take
oifect, he increased tho dose and per
formed tho operation with completi
success, but a few hours afterward
ho received a messaso to say
that his pationt seemed to be
dying, nnct he found, upon
hurrying to her,that, judging by tlu
feebleness of the pulso and bluish ap
pearance of tho faco, sho was sufferino
from the ofTccts of poison. All tho ef
forts mauo tosavolier wero of no effect,
and sho died tho samo evening, M.
Kolominno was bo ovorcomo that lu
denounced himself as hor murderer,
though nil his colleagues assured him
that he was in no way to blame. Bui
ho would not listen to them, and a few
days afterward ho blow his brains out,
leaving anoto.in whichhe8aid:"I must
havo been tho victim of somo tempo
rary aberration, and, this hns caused
tho catastrophe which drives ino tc
despair. I am not gnilty, for my in
tentions wetogood, but lcannotlive. '
.Removed to Ills Homo from the
Cemetery a Mun Regains Life.
Henry Weichman, aged 45, of Red
Lion, York county, Pa., died suddenly
and was prepared for burial. A larg
concourse of peoplo attended thofunor-
nl and followed tho remains to the
grave. "Ashes to ashes aim dust
to dust" was pronounced by
tho clergyman, and tho sexton
dropped tho customary shovel
ot earth upon the rough box lid. One
of tho sons of Weichman, who stood
among tho weeping mourners, sudden
ly exclaimed, "I must see father onc
more! Something tells mo he is not
dead." Tho peoplo wero startled, but
tho undertaker, in order to gratify the
bou'h wishes, ordored the coilin to b
raised from thcgnivoaud carried to the
tool house of tho sexton, where the
lid was removed. A doctor was sum
moned, and when tho body was examin
ed it was found to bo quite warm. The
doctor lanced tho deceased nnd blood
commenced flowing as if from a live
person. Thecofiln was carried back to
the house of mourning and the sup
posed corp3fl, still in its shroud, car
ried up stairs to bed, The man u
now slowly recovering and there i
great rejoicing in the family, whotw
Bloomy holiday has thus been turned
into a very happy New Year,
