Why tho Former Aro Preferred by Somo People "I know what that nirans, before Klsio goes," Haiti Ruth Murdoch, as the trim maid sot tho rolls on tho luncheon table, and went ofl" to answer the bell. 'Well, what is it that has turned my daughter into a prophetess?" said tho doctor, (smiling fondly at Huth over hid teacup. "Vh', to-night is the night of Daisy Hammond's party, and it's time my flowers appeared." "Oil, you thought you'd 'temper the wind to tho (thorn lamb' by making somobotly else pay for tho bouquet? Well, that was eonsiderato of you," will Dr. Murdoch crossed tho hall and entered his oilieo just as Klsio re- appeared witli a long white box. Gentle Mrs. Murdoch leaned on her daughter's shoulder as tho girl took oil tho Jifisuo coverings which protected .the dainty blossoms from tho January cold. At tho bottom of tho box lay a rcniny mass of Maroehal Niels, galh- Jn thoirhrst perfection. Mrs. Murdoch listened for Ruth's exclamation of de light, but it did not come. Instead, lifter a brief look, and a slight but (significant smile, the owner of the box closed it with a bang, and placing it on tho table, turned to leae the room. "Aren't you going to put your roses in wtiler?" called her mother after her. "You may sot them in the library, if you choose. 1 am not going to wear tJiom to-night," was tho reply; and Huth went upstairs. Mrs. Murdoch had been educated in tho days when whistling was no part of a girl's education, so she simply uttered tho gootl old-time expression of aston , Ifihmont "Well, 1 never!" and proceed ed to take euro of tho roses. Tho trouble was certainly no disappoint ment as to the sender, for Mrs. Mur doch had caught a glimpse of tho card with tho line "Fdward Leslie, Mt D.," ngravod in the center; and only last night sho and tho 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; but they were far from ready to give up their only datiglitei. There had been no chance for a quarrel since Ruth had announced that she and Dr. Leslie were going to this German to gether, so tlio situation might well puzzle Mrs. Murdoch's brain. That tho innocent Mareehal Niels wore themselves the source of the mis chief never entered her imagination. Hut such was really tho ease, and this is the way it till happened: Tho night before, Dr. Leslie had called at tho Murdochs', and tho principal topio of conversation had been the next even ing's entertainment. As he rose to go, ho had asked Ruth, with a touch of in tention in his tone, what color sho was to wear to the Herman. "Oh, my dress is oroam-colored oropo do Chine, and 1 must have lilies of the valley to go with it," sho answered gayly; and since both at home anil in Uridgovlllo society her word was law, fcho had confidently expected tho lilies. Of course, they must bo costly in Jan nary, and Neil Leslie was not rich like many of the circle in which sho moved; but Dr. Murdoch's daughter know nothing of the practical inconvonienco of tho lack of money. She was more likely to think that careful expendi tures meant moannoss a fault which her generous soul abhorred; and all her liking for young Leslie could not oovor the dire fact that ho had sent roses when sho had asketl for lilios. For a few moments she sat in hor easy chair considering tho problem; thou sho donned out-of-door costume and went slowly downstairs. Mrs. Murdoch had a second shock of aston ishment when her daughter appeared at tho library door, mutllcd in sealskin and asketl if there were any orrnuds down town. "I should think," sho said, "that you would save up for to-night, instead oi going out into tho bitter cold. Let mo send Dennis for whatever you want." "Unless you havo some wants, 1 have but one errand, mamma, and Dennis could hardly tlo that. Good bye," and tho heavy front door slammed behind her. "That ono errand inufit bo a very amusing one," meditated Mrs. Mur doch; "she looked brimful of fun. What she's up to I ouu't make out," and site gave a little felgh. Neither was her state of mind much illuminated when Ruth returned, hall J nn hour Intni. with n tinv tuimnl.

"Is your allowance played out. Rulhie? 1 might havo advanced you a few cents in consideration of tin party." "No, thank yon, papa; I am a long way from being insolvent Since 1 gave up caramels I am quite a capitalist;" and Ruth vanished to takeoff her wrap pings. That night when she came down stairs dressed for tho party the carriage was already there, ami Dr. Leslie and the cWler physician wore in the library talk ing about endemic fevers. She had brought down several vards of cream- colored ribbon of the width which fash ion dictated as tho proper one for tying bouquets. Dr. Murdoch looked on won deringly as ho watched Ruth tie the huge bow around the tiny stems of the lilies site had bought in tho after noon. He wtis about to silently conclude that this was tho latest absurdity of feminine fashion, when he caught sight of Leslie's crimson face, and Ruth's demurely mischievous air. "Will you tako my bouquet, please? I believe I am all ready now," said she, tendering tho ridiculous posy to Dr. Leslie. "Gootl night, papa, or tiro you going to sit up for me?" and tho two people started for the door. Leslie took tho Jlowors and escorted Miss Murdoch to the carriage. He entered after her, and shut tho door with a single bang, instead of tho half- dozen usually required by livery vehi cles. "Miss Murdoch, where are your roses?" said he quietly as tho cab rolled otr. "I took them back to the llorist, and this is what I got for them," was tho calm answer; and the lilies were held for a moment in tho light from the carnago lamp, "i wanted lilies, and the qtutntity would make no difl'erencc, as every body would know who sent them. J here was a very little sup pressed triumph in tho tone, but othenviBo it was perfectly common place. For 11 moment or two neither spoke; then Dr. Leslie said slowly: "Kxcepl 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 tho lilies, Miss Murdoch, but they asked twenty dollars for a bunch of rospect ablesize, and this Meek I havo to make the last payment of tho money l bor rowed for my education. 1 havo strug gled hard to fn;o myself from this debt, that 1 might honorably oiler you my love.

Why, Miss Murdoch! why, Ruth!" in a changed tone, for tho girl had burst into passionate tears, "(hall I oiilor the cab to drive home?" "N-o," sobbed Ruth. "I didn't know about those debts. 1 thought you were m-mean and I'd teach you a lesson. I tlo want to to " hut tho sentence was lost in the noise of tho cab, and one seat was unoccupied tho rest of the way. When Dr. Leslie met Ruth at the dressing-room door he thought thatshe was lovelier than ever, in spite of tho peculiar appearance of Iter lashes. The long ribbon had disappeared, anil the lilies were tucked in hor belt in tin art ful fashion which did not even faintly suggest that there should have been more of them. It was a beatific evening for at least two of Miss Hammond's guests, and when it was over there was another happy half-hour in the library with Dr. Murdoch. Huth related the story of the lilios, and Dr. Leslie told of his hard boy hood and his student years, how Ruth hail doubled the value of life by asking for half of the modest income which he hail finally gained. The doctor laughed over the first story, but was very sober during tho second. At the end he looked at the carpet, and said huskily: "I don't know that I can tlo any tiling;" then, with a smile, "Ruthio has taken things into her own hands, as usual, anil 1 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 ono, rending "Murdoch & Leslie," was put in its place; and of course, too, when the junior partner wants to please his wife lie brings, not lilies of the valley, but Mareehal Niels. t'.

Sprockels is a stout man. with wiiitc hair and beard. His most striking feat ure is his eyes, and such eyes they are. They aro gray anil blue at times, and M'oin to look right through you. He speaks with a slight German accent and uses gestures freely to emphasize his remarks. Ho said to the correspond ent: "I am at a loss to understand the apathy of tho people of the United States towards tho Hawaiian Islands, Naturally in the course of time they would become it part of the domain of tins country, and they will, too, if we would only fake some interest in the great properties owned by Americans there. It is the most glorious climate in the world. Tho temperature never varies more than eight degrees ami tho soil will gnow every thingtliatisknowq to tnt! earth. I lie people aro 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. Tho lepers are banished to tin island, from whence they aro never allowed to return. No hotly has ever been able to learn how leprosy originated or how it can be cured. It appears in the most curious waj's, and leaves men anil women untouched who have sullbred tho greatest exposure. Tho most striking instance of this fact is tlio case of tho present Queen of Hawaii. The Kinr is her second husband. Her first hus band was a leper, and her two children by him both died by tho horrible dis ease, and yet she is a perfectly healthy woman. Nobody knows how leprosy is communicated. Tho most, eminent authorities who havo looked into tho subjoetcontend that itis not contagious. Several years ago a white man was condemned to death for a murder which ho had committed. Tlio au thorities allowed him to choose be tween being executed or passing into the hands of a noted German physician for experimental purposes. Tlio crimi nal cheerfully chose tin; latter. Ho was inoculated time and timo again with leprosy, but tho disease had no ef fect upon him, and to-day he is as healtly a man as there ig on tiie islands. Leprosy tioes not often attack tlio white nice, for out of tho thousands of eases there aro to-tlav onlvabouta half dozen Caucasians. These aro facts beyond dispute. In my judgment Kngland will take somo very aggressive measures to obtain possession of the islands before many years. Tho native race is rapidly dying out, and it is a question of a very short time before the country will pass under tho control of a foreign power." Washington Cor. Boston Traveler.

Having a fancy is ono thing. Per ceiving an ideal is quite another thing. To fitnev that one, of whom wo know but little, is faultless, or that ho is above all ordinary planes of conduct and thought and feeling, is to deceive ourselves, and is to prepare tlio way for a bitter disappointment when tho truth in the ease shall fairly be known. Hut to recognize in another tho very highest standards of purpose ami 011 doiivor of which wo havo any idea, as purely human standards, is to bo 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 in pre senting those ideals. As applied to those toward whom wo are attracted, a fancy is what wo think another to bo; an ideal is what we see that another wants to be, and would have us to bo. Tho fancy in suoh a case is unreal; but the ideal is tho roalost thing in tho world. Whore tho unreal fancy de ceives, the actual ideal inspires. Yet there are those who think that all their fun el es are Ideals; and who finally cease to aspire toward an ideal, bo cause n fancy has so manv times disan- j pointed tlivm. & S. Times. LEBEL RIFLE. Descriptive; Arcotint of the New .Ann of (he Trench Army. Tlio Lebel ritie, as the new arm is called, was invented by Lieutenant Colonel Lebel, principal of the artillery school at Chalons. Its remarkable qualities are lightness, long range tint! extraordinary penetrating power. Ac cording to tho scientific researches ol the mathematician, Prof. Ilebler, it was supposed that tho absolutely per fect annv rille should be a weapon with a caliber of preci.-ely seven mill imeters. The Lebel ritlc has not co small ti caliber, but oilers the nearest approach to it yet made viz.: Kight millimeters. Witli this caliber tho ad vantages arc: 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, as to enable it to preserve its form and to follow precisely the giDoves of the barrel. Its initial ve locity is exactly 100 meters per second greater than that of the Gras rille, which had an initial velocity of 450 meters, while tho Lebel boasts a ve locity of 540 meters. It revolves upon itself .1,000 times per second always traveling point first. At a ilist tiiee ol 1,800 meters its tire is as fatal as within ii lesser distance; and as tho line of the projectile is almost perfectly straight, extraordinary hits can be made tit immense ranges. To obviate the shook of recoil consequent upon so prodigious an expelling force, a special powder litis been invented by Colonel Hrugere, which detonates progressively without smoke and with comparatively little noise. Tlio shooter feels the weapon pu-h does not feel a sudden and painful jar. Throe wooden shields plaeetl at about twenty-live yards apart wore easily pierced in a straight line by one rilleshot the ball traveling on live hundred meters further without chang ing its course to strike tlio outlying target, aimed at precisely in tiie center. Tlio movable breech piece is .shorter than in the Gras rille, but idlers a greater resistance and tho recoil fol lows the ttxis of tiie weapon. On finding 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 the best of single-shot breech loaders. Rut as Austria is adopting tlio Maunlioher re peater, Italy tho Vitali repeater, Ger many tiie Mauser magazine gun, it seemed neees.aiy to make tho Lebel a repeater also; as troops tinned witli a single shot rille only, however good, would easily beeonie demoralized by the mere conviction that they were face to face with enemies armed with magazine guns.
