made from hair, fur and wool, from as

from husks of any and every kind of
grain. Leaves make a good, strong

PLAYING WITH FIRE.
It was 5 o'clock of a hot August after
noon at Luc-sur-Mer. The bathere were
roaming over the beach or ensconced in
cozy, sheltered spots. Women, rosy pink
with the heat, were leisurely crocheting
and gossiping, emphasizing their remarks
with the movement of the white ivory
needles. Bright eyed men, their smiling
listeners, idly traced hieroglyphics on
the sand. Happy children, watched over
by white capped nurses, made mud pies
to their hearts' content.
Over one small group of loungers pre
sided a young woman, whose pensively
graceful, delicate featured face was one
of rare sweetness. Her hair was blond,
lr mouth fresh as a child's, while in her
black eyes quivered lights and shadows
as on a placid lake. A crowd of young
men were gathered about her, each one
anxious to claim part of her attention
by some trivial little speech. Now and
then she would quietly drop a word, and
every one stopped talking to hear nnd ap
plaud her.
Marguerite Helm was a Norwegian.
She had married for love a countryman
of hers, a painter, but he had died soon
after. Gifted with a marvelous voice,
she had resolved to make it her means of
support. Going to Paris, she had shut
herself up for a year with her grief and
her musical studies. Her stay at Luc-sur-Mer
was the first dissipation of her
widowhood.
Just now the conversation had turned
on a foreigner's difficulty in using French
idioms. All her admirers seized the op
portunity to compliment her on her pro
ficience in the language.
"Gentlemen," she said suddenly, "you
shall each tell me which word in all
your language you prefer."
After a moment's hesitation the con
test began. To the men it was a pretext
for new gallantries.
"Marguerite," sighed one.
"Norway," murmured another.
"Love!" suddenly exclaimed a boy's
undeveloped voice a voice just under
going a change.
The word was so impulsively uttered
that everybody Btarted. Marguerite her
self bent forward to see the speaker. It
was Jacques Lespar, a mere boy of al
most girlish beauty. His white fore
head, his straight nose, with its sensitive
nostrils, his slender, refined hands all
betokened good blood. His penetrating
eyes fixed themselves upon those of Mme.
Helm. Hers were filled with a sweet,
indulgent curiosity.
"Well, there really are no more chil
dren. Make way for the young!" were
the remarks heard from the men.
Happily the dinner hour was near, and
the group dispersed. Jacques and Mme.
Helm remained togother. They both
felt a little embarrassed at being alone,
and neither knew what to say. Finally
they began to talk of the weather, of the
snperb days and warm evenings, Then
the boy escorted Marguerite to her hotel
and went home.
Ever since the beginning of the season
he had silently admired Mine. Holm. A
subtle fascination irresistibly attracted
him to her. When she took her morning
jtroll, he instinctively walked behind
her, like a dog following his master.
When she sat down on the beach amid
her admirers, he furtively slipped in
among them, envying, with all the
strength of his ingenious youth, the
yonng men who could lungh with hr or
the old gentleman who called her "Dear
child." How of Km he had tried to apeak
to her! But the great sadness rising in
his heart at his utter insignificance would
choke the words in his throat.
An orphan from his cradle, he was en
tirely alone in the world. A distant rel
ative had become his guardian and di
rected his education. He grudgingly
managed Jacques' finances and bestowed
only a scant affection upon his ward.
The boy's generous natnie was starved
in this atmosphere of indifference, and
he at once loved Marguerite with all the
energy of long suppressed feeling. It
was his first passion, and like a rich
spendthrift he laid at her feet all the
treasures of his heart. As to lwing paid
in return, he never dared think of that.
He would have been satisfied if, like a
priest at God's altar, he might be al
lowed to worship Marguerite all his life.
After that August afternoon Jacques
and Mme. Helm weie frequently to
gether. They talked over their plans,
and being mutually attracted learned to
know eaoh other well. Every day after
breakfast they walked on the quay, and
th boy wad Ui y oontf woman bis cwii
fldiiit. M&rfuente hetd hit giuv
speech with a smiis and reciprocated
by giving good advloe with almost motc
wny umarrnrsB.
Time passed on, and often when re
turning from their walk the day died
with the setting sun. The women com
ing home would greet them with some
half audible, jesting remark; the raga
muffins would giggle at them on the
rad, and the men bow, with a s"rt of
pleased, booriih DolitennM.
It was the first time since her depar
ture from Norway that Mme. Helm for
got her sorrow. She liked her role of
tender mamma and put an unconscious
coquetry into her conduct. She would
often prelude her remarks with, "I, M.
Jacques, who am mi old woman" and
ahe smiled to think of her three and
twenty years.
She did not dream how this child
, adored her. Only once did a slight doubt
I enter her mind, but Jacques' conduct
j quickly dispelled it. He treated her
j like an e&er sister and did not mind
! appearing ridiculous in her eyes. To her
this was sufficient proof that he was not
I in love. Anxious to warn him against
j life's snares, she continued to show him
! a calm, motherly affection, and the
thought of having for Jacques any other
sentiment would have shocked her.
After spending the greater part of an
exceedingly hot day indoors, they went
one evening for their accustomed after
dinner stroll in the fields. The setting
iun ponred its purple rays over the
country, tingeing sky and meadows,
houses and trees with fire. The ocean
was mottled with red spots, forming
bloody streaks.
Hardby a haystack's irregular com
stood out in melancholy profile against
the sky.
"Let's climb it 1" said Jacques.
Marguerite gleefully clapped her hands.
Jacques went on to reconnoiter. The
road was deserted. No one was to be
seen in the neighborhood.
She began the ascent with great diffi
culty. Her feet would slip, her fingers
lose their hold, while the bits of dry hay
scratched her face. Her more sturdy
companion followedand helped her along.
Beaching the top, they sat down and
looked at each other, then burst out
laughing like schoolboys stealing fruit
or serious persons caught in a foolish act.
The descent was more easily accom
plished. The gayety had passed, and
both opened books they had brought.
Jacques lay flat on the ground, resting
npon his elbow. Marguerite was stretch
ed on a pile of hay which formed a sort
of chaise longue. Her tiny feet just
peeped from under the hem of her gown.
The thin cloth shoes perfectly outlined
her arohed instep and delicate ankles.
It was too hot to read. They were
both silent. Jacques' eyes were riveted
on Marguerite. Her red lips trembled
like a flower under the breeze. Her soft,
white throat was smooth as the surface
of a lake. At every breath her bosom
heaved, and the thin material of her
dress swelled like a sail. Her whole
personality exhaled the Bubtle perfume
of elegance. It was the first time
Jacques had noticed these charming de
tails, and unconsciously he became al
sorbed in their contemplation. "Tjittle
by little his thoughts became confused;
his soul rose to his eyes. He breathed
with difficulty, and a lunguor crept over
hiin. The heat of the day mounted to
his head and intoxicated him.
The country around was resting after
the day's heat. In the faroff fields wom
en wero gathering potatoes, and near
them little boys threw clods of earth at
each other. From time to time the cows
lying on the grass would low and turn
their heads toward the setting sun as to
ward a departing friend.
Suddenly through the silent fiolds rang
the cries of an angry voice.
"The field guard!" exclaimed Mar
guerite. In the distance was a man gesticulating
threateningly at thiB couple, who had
pulled down his carefully stacked hay.
Like two guilty children, their first
thought was to fly from the ruined hay
stack. The boy was up with one bonnd,
But in her haste Murguerito lost her bal
ance and fell. Ho caught her in his arms
and righted her.
They ran across the field. For an in
stant they hid behind a large mound of
earth, then made straight for the beach.
Here they sought shelter in a hut used
only by the customs officers and kept
very still, fearing to give their pursuer
the alarm.
Seated on the narrow bench Mme.
Helm leaned against Jacques. She had
never seemed so beautiful. Out of breath
from the run her cheeks were red. her
nostrils quivered. With bended neck
and wide open eyes Bhe listened in laugh
ing anxiety for the steps outside.
His ecstasy was complete. Putting
his arm around her waist he drew closer
to her. Turning to him in childish glee
she said. "Jacques, we are saved!
It was the first time she had called him
simply Jacques, and the boy lost his
head; with a brusque movement ho seized
Marguerite's hand and imprinted on her
wrist a passionate kiss.
Very pale, she rose, not knowing what
to say or think. A great remorse stmck
her like a knife. Had she shown too
much affection for Jacques? Had she
been guilty of coquetry toward him?
The days of their intercourse flashed
through her memory, and she found her
self guilty.
Instantly she resolved by some cruelty
which Jacques could not forgive to kill
the love she had inspired. She cast upon
the bov one last look of infinite tender
ness; then, gathering all her strength for
the deathblow, she said in her cold, beau
tiful voice:

A KENTUCKY MIRACLE.
JUDGE JOHN M. RICE TELLS HOW HE
WAB CU1IED OF KHKOMATIHM.
Crippled fur Sis Years With Sciatica la
Its Worst Form. He Expected to die lint
was Saved in a Marvelous Manner.
(From the Covington, Ky., l'oat.)
Tbe Hon. John nl. Kioe, ot Louisa,
Lawrence oounty, Kentuoky, has for
the past two years retired from Botive
life as Criminal and Circuit Judge of
tbe sixteenth Judicial District of Ken
tucky. He has for many years served his
Dative oounty and state in the legisla
ture at Frankfort and at Washington,
and, until his retirement was a noted
figure in politics and Judicial circles.
The Judge is well known throughout the
state sod possesses the best qualities
whioh go to make a Kentucky gentle
man honored wherever he is known.
About six years ago the bodi'y
troubles which finally caused bis re
tirement at a time when his mental
faculties were iu the zenith of their
strength, began their encroachment
upon his naturally strong constitution.
A few days ago a Kentuoky Post re
porter (tailed upon Judge Kice, who in
tbe following words related the history
of tbe causes that led to bis retirement.
"It is just about six years sinoe I hnj
an attack of rheumatism, slight at first,
but soon developing into Soiatio rheu-
matism, whioh began first with acute
shooting paius in the hips, gradually
extending downward to my feet.
"My condition became so bad that I
eventually lost all power of my legs, and
ben tbe liver, kidneys and bladder and
in tact, my whole system, became de
ranged. I tried the treatment of many
physicians, Jiut receiving , i)rt lasting
beneut from them, i bad recourse to
patent remedies, trying one kind aft' r
another until I believe there were none
I had not sampled.
"In 1M88, attended by my sou John, I
went to Hot Springs, Ark. I was not
muoh benefited by some months stay
there when I returned home. My liver
was aolually dead, and a dull persistent
pain in its region kept me on tbe raok
all tbe time. In 1890 I was reappointed
Circuit Judge, but it was linposiiible for
me to give attention to my duties. In
18!1 1 went to Silurian Springs, Wake-
sliaw, Wis. I stayed there some time
but without improvement.
"Agaiu I returned home, this time

muscles of my limbs were now reduced
atrophy to mere Btrings. Sciatic pains
tortured me terribly, but it was tbe
disordered condition of my liver that
was I felt gradually wearing my life
away. Dootors gave me up, all kinds o'
remedies had been tried without avail,
and there was nothing more for me to
do but resign myself to fate.
"I lingered on in this oondition sus
tnined almost entirely by stimulants
until April, IHlCi. Oan day John saw an
aooountof Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla for
pale people in tbe Kentuoky Post. This
was something new, aud as one more
drug after so many others could not do
o muoh harm, John prevailed upon me
to try tbe Pink Pills. It was, I think,
the tirHt week iu May the pills rrrived.
I remember I was not expected to live
tor more than three or four days At the
time. The effect of tbe Pills, however,
was marvelous aud I could soon eat
heartily, a thing I had not done for
years. The liver began almost instant
aneously to perform its functions, anil
has done so ever since. Without doubt
ibe pills saved my lite and while I do
Dot crave notrioty I cannot mfiife to
testify to their wortb.

COST OF BRITISH DEFENSE.
'the lnimenHe Kxiwuso Incurred by Kng
land's Military Operations.
The llritish empire spends as a rule
upon defense from $V!."U.IIOO,000 to $'.280,
000,000 a year, of which the military ex
penditure of India, with the indirect
expenditure for the sake of India on
the mobile land forces at home, forms
the largest item, says Sir C. W. Dilke,
in North American Review. Almost
the whole of this vast sum is expended
out of Uritish loans or taxes under the
control of the parliament of the United
Kingdom, and out of India taxes under
the indirect control of the house of
commons through the secretary of
state, who is a member of the govern
ment of the day. This expenditure,
although vast, although open to the re
proach that it does not do more than
maintain a fleet slightly superior to
that of France, and an army of very
small numbers, is a tlcahite as com
pared (iu its ill effect upon the wealth
of the nation) with the military ex
penditure of Italy, or, in a less degree,
with that of other continental powers.
The evidences of the overpressure of
taxation in India itself, many as they
are, are slight in comparison with
those which are present in the case of
Italy; and it may be assumed therefore
that, while the taxpayers of the United
Kingdom and of India may make their '
voices heard in insisting upon better
value for their money, the expenditure
will not in itself be brought to an end
by bankruptcy.
"imitated A DOG TOO WELL.
fnwtn of a I.aiif-tMlilr Vontrlloqulet (!
Illm Into Troutjla.
An English professional ventrilo
quist in Lancashire lately received
what is perhaps ns high a compliment
to his professional powers as ever was
paid to one of his tribe, and yet, as Mr.
Toole used to say, "he is not happy."
It appears from proceedings at the
Wallussey petty sessions that this ven
triloquist prilled himself greatly on
his skill In imitating the cries of a dog,
anil that one day, at Seacombe Ferry,
he agreed to give an exhibition of this
sort of mimicry, and proceedttl to do
so by beating a hand-bug, from which
the most agonizing cries, as of a dog,
appeared to come. The first result
was that an old lady rushed at the
ventriloquist and tried to hit him with
an umbrella. Sho desisted when told it
was a joke; but a man named Scott, a
meat contractor, then rushed across
Mie road, took the ventriloquist by the
throat, and struck him on the face and
head several times, inflicting injuries
which led to erysipelas in the ear, for
which the sufferer claimed damages.
In tbe witness box he repeated the
sham dog-beating performance. For
the defense it was contended that the
defendant was genuinely deceived by
'.he simulated agonies of the supposed
.log, and had simply seized the bag in
order to prevent further cruelty; and
It was urged that any person playing
such tricks in public must take the
consequences. Finally the. magistrate
dismissed the case, but made no order
as to costs.
Age nr Trsee.
Information gathered by the German
forestry commission assigns to the pine
tree a life of 500 to 700 years as a maxi
mum, 4J5 years to the silver fir, 27S
years to tbo lurch, 245 years to the roil
beech, U10 years to the aspen, 200 years
to the birch, 170 years to the ash, 14fl
years to the alder and UtO years to the
elm. The heart of the oak begins to rot
at about the age of S00 years. The
holm oak alone escapes this law. But
in England there are several famous old
oaks of gigantic proportions, and with
ages variously estimated at from 700 to
1,800 years. The latter ago, however,
seems incredible.
