TRANSLATED FROn Tlx.- FRENCH OF OU-
VIKR CHANTAL BY BEN J. R. TUCKER.
“Of the Paris style” was a discovery;
this ugly, black creature, Teresa, did not
do things in the Paris style!
“How does she use them?” asked Teresa
again.
“Why, first, she plucks the leaves off,”
said Graziella, with an important air,
“and then”-----
“Yes, yes, yes,” interrupted Donna
Teresa hastily; “give me the basket; I
know what to do.”
Graziella was caught. In vain did she
try to think of a reply. The other had
taken possession of the flowers; she took
off her hat, and placed a stool before her
with a plate to receive the petals. A
pretext for moving, for forcing the at­
tention of the artist.
She had drawn nearer to him; the ef­
fect, moreover, had completely changed.
The sun was going down; a red light
at the horizon, mingling sky and sea,
threw them into a sort of indefinite
shadow.
M. Teresa took the petals one by one,
meanwhile casting sidelong glances.
They could fancy themselves alone in
creation. The melancholy of the brief
twilights of Italy, the perfume of the
flowers which the young girl was pick­
ing to pieces, many mingled sensations
began to agitate the painter. A languor
invaded him, almost a weakness, some­
thing like a sentiment of tenderness.
He laid down his brushes, rested
against the back of his chair, and looked
at his companion, who now lowered her
head in joy.
Suddenly, from a far off chamber,
they heard the regular tic-tac of the feet
of a chair—a nurse cradling a child to
sleep with one of those dragging melo­
dies in which each phrase is prolonged.
What a setting for a declaration of
love! And the pretext was there, near
Orlando, in the shape of a smitten girl.
For tender sentiments, however ephe­
meral, were always od the alert in the
young man.
In the charm of the hour, with the vi­
bration of the song in space, moved by
the last voluptuous note like a sleeping
sigh, he felt emotion creeping over him.
And emotion led inevitably to expansive
tenderness.
He took a better look at his compan­
ion, whose reddened cheek bones in­
creased the brightness of her black eyes.
Monteforte was tempted to speak to her
of love, to ask her hand in marriage, to
pledge himself, and to embrace her.
Unhappily Teresa, in a bit of coquetry,
lifted her little dry hand in the air. And
the artist remembered not only was this
hand not soft and supple, but its slen­
derness became exaggerated in shaking
hands. And in Orlando’s large warm
hand—though his hand was small in
proportion to his stature—this embry­
onic hand felt like a piece of wood.
This changed the course of his ideas,
and while Teresa was watching the new
attitude of the lover whom she would
have liked to make her affianced and ex­
pecting something like her dream, he,
suddenly growing cold, murmured to
himself:
“Heart, soul, passion—these are_very
fine things, but in words. Poor girl!
She hasn’t enough body to contain her
soul.”
And this time, forgetful of her, Mon­
teforte took up the nurse’s song where
she had dropped it, and sang its several
stanzas to the end.
Then he arranged his tools, carried
them into the house and came back
gracefully to Teresa, thinking of the
little thin hand that would slip into his
own.
“Good evening, Donna Teresa,” said
he, serenely. “I wait no longer; it is too
late.”
“Good evening, M. Monteforte,” val­
iantly answered the young girl, with a
swollen heart; but a legitimate pride
dried her tears of vexation.
He went away, with his soft hat slight­
ly inclined upon his head. Outside she
still heard his clear voice:
“Good evening, Maria Grazia.”
“Good evening, Don Orlando.”
It was over. Evidently he was colder
than marble.
Or else be was unwilling to see, because
he loved Rosa Falcone. Suppose they
were engaged!
What a painful thought!
She put on her hat and lowered her veil
over her poor, red eyes.
And with her imperative voice she
called the servant:
“Come, I wishtogohome.Giovannina.”
ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Whistling Girl.
Tile Queen as a Mother.
The whistling girl does not commonly
come to a bad end. Quite as often as any
other girl she learns to whistle a cradle
song, low and sweet and charmijig, to the
young voter in the cradle. She is a girl of
spirit, ol independence of cheracter, of
dash and flavor; and as to lips, why you
must have some sort of presentable lips to
whistle; thin ones will not. The whistling
girl does not come to a bad end at all (if
marriage is still considered a good, occupa­
tion), except a cloud may be thrown upon
her exuberant young life by this rascally
proverb. Even if she walks the lonely
road of life, she has this advantage, that
she can whistle to keep her courage up.
But in a larger sense, one that this prac­
tical age can understand, it is not true that
the whistling girl comes to a bad end.
Whistling pays. It has brought her money;
it has blown her name about the listening
world. Scarcely has a nonwhistling wom­
an been more famous. She has set aside
the adage. She has done so much toward
.tha.emancipationjQfhmL sex.from the preju
dice created by an ill natured proverb
which never had root in fact.
But has the whistling woman come to
stay? Is it well for women to whistle? Are
the majority of women likely to be whis
tiers? These are serious questions, not to
be taken up in a light manner. Will worn
an ever learn to throw a stone? There it
is. The future is inscrutable. We only
know that whereas they did not whistle
with approval, now they do; the prejudice
of generations gradually melts away. And
woman’s destiny is not linked with that of
the hen, nor to be controlled by a proverb
—perhaps not by anything.—Charles Dud­
ley Warner in Harper’s.
The Rev. Robert Collyer recently
made an after dinner speech in the course
of which he laid some stress on the pre­
vailing trait of motherliness in the char­
acter of Queen Victoria, and held it up
for.admiration.
It is well known that, especially
among the middle classes in Great Brit­
ain, the magnificent habit of motherhood
notable in their monarch has been, per­
haps, the main spring of her popularity.
i The British matron feels that she has
j her highest justification in the character
of her queen.
The spectacle of the wife of the mar­
tyr, John Rogers, who soothed the last
burning moments of her spouse by stand­
ing around with nine small children and
one at the breast (as duly set down in
I history and the New England Primer)
, has hardly higher inspiration for the
British matron than the thought of the
! queen of England and her nine children,
I all of whom in due course of time have
i married an'd (except in one instance)
have given -the British taxpayers much
to think about by’ having families of
i truly royal proportions.
The noble trait of motherliness which
Dr. Collyer praised so highly is only
natural to an august lady who has got so
fixed in the motherly attitude. It is in­
deed her second nature.
The devotion to this high principle of
the whole British nation, classes and
masses alike, was finely shown by the
remark of a very simple minded and
enthusiastic young Englishwoman last
summer. An Amei*ican traveler was
conversing with her at a garden party
where she was enjoying the excitement
of her first season, and something was
said about the recently announced en­
gagement of one of her friends, another
debutante. The young girl was asked
if she proposed to allow herself to be
wooed and won by any of her many at­
tendant cavaliers during her first sea­
son, and she replied with towering nai­
vete: “Oh, 1 fancy 1 shan’t marry until
I’ve had a season or two to myself. But
when I do I hope 1 shall have as many
children as the queen!” This highly
British remark is a micocosm of the pop­
ular taste in the tight little island touch­
ing the great economic fact that the
family is" the basis of the state. —St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
Africans with Tails.
Various stories have been told of the
tails of the Niam Niams of central Africa,
who have also been asserted to be canni­
bals. Their tails have been described as
smooth and as hairy, as peculiar to the
men, and as possessed by-the men and
women both. The most interesting and
circumstantial account of this feature is
given by Dr. Hubsch, of Constantinople,
who examined a tailed negress. Her tail
was about two inches long and terminated
in a point. The slave dealer who owned
her said that all the Niam Niams had tails,
and that they were sometimes ten inches
long. Dr. Hubsch also saw a man of the
same race who had a tail an inch and a
half long, covered with a few hairs; and he
knew at Constantinople the son of a physi­
cian who was born with a tail an inch and
a half long and one of whose grandfathers
had a like appendage. The phenomenon,
he said, is regarded generally in the east as
a sign of great brute force.—Popular Sci­
ence Monthly.
A Bright Girl’s Way of Framing Pictures.
A wise young woman who was the fortu­
nate possessor of more good pictures than
she could afford to frame, bought a sheet
of pulp board at a printing office and made
a mat about flve inches wide for a charcoal
picture. She cut the board very carefully
with a sharp knife, and after tacking the
picture on the wall the mat Was put over
it and secured with a small tack at each of
the four corners. To relieve the plain look
she fastened a red ribbon across one lower
corner with brass headed tacks and slipped
flve or six photographs under the ribbon
and the edge of the mat. The cost was
only ten cents and the effect remarkable.
A steel engraving may be framed in the
same way.—Chicago Herald.
The Modus Operand!.
Wife—My dear, I left my thimble in the
pocket of my new dress, and I wish you’d
run up stairs and----
Husband—Now, see here, I’m not going
off on any such job as that.
“How foolish you are! "Nothing is easier
than finding the pocket in a dress. All you
have to do is to slip it on.”
“Slip what on?”
“The dress, of course. But you needn’t
try to button it, you know.”
“Oh, I needn’t!”
“No; slipping it on is enough.”
“Well, then what?”
“Use common sense, of course. All you
have to do after the dress is on is to dive
down and crossways and a little slanting,
and up and around, just as you see ladies
do in the street car when the, conductor
comes along, and your hand will go straight
into the pocket.”—New York Weekly.
European Famines.
In A. D. 450 famine prevailed all over the
south of Europe, raging worst in Italy,
where parents ate their children, and in 739
England, Scotland and Wales were rav
aged, also in 823, when thousands starved,
and in 954, when the crops failed for four
successive years. In 1016 an awful famine
raged throughout all Europe and again
from 1193 to 1195, when crop failures caused
terrible suffering. In England and France
the people ate the flesh of dogs and cats
and many cases of cannibalism were re
corded.—Providence Journal.
Terms Used in Addressing Animals.
Dr. Carrington . Bolton, of New York
city, attempted some time since to collect
and investigate the terms used in talking
to domestic animals, most of which are not
found in dictionaries. India will furnish a
fruitful field for these inquiries, as many
different terms are used there in different
parts of the country. Thus, to make the
ox go, in the Punjaub, the driver says, bur
burbur! In central India, ra ra chul chul!
and in Bengal, joschi, joschi, joschi!—

Tea Gowns.
There is endless diversity in the shape
and trimming of tea gowns. They seem
to get more elaborate and" beautiful every
season. There are ethereal tea gowns,
nothing bu t gauze and lace; aesthetic tea
gowns, made of crape, woolen stuffs, with
flowing draperies; handsome tea gowns
composed only of rich brocades and vel­
vets, and tea gowns] of nuns’ cloth and
soft silk that are merely pretty. The
severe tea gown is generally made of self
colored silk trimmed with passementerie.
Cashmere is just as popular a material
as ever.
An eccentric gown was made of pale
yellow cashmere veiled in front with
white lace, and ornamented with float­
ing ends of brown velvet falling in
stripes from the neck to the hem of the
skirt. The ribbons were held in place
at the waist by the girdle.
A gorgeous French model was of vel­
vet in one of the new intermediate
shades of brown, with a broad panel of
palest blue and gold brocade on each
side. It had an immense collar and a
long train set in plaits just below the
waist. The front was cut in a new style
with long narrow ends like a mantle,
and fringed with iridescent beads. The
most beautiful gowns are generally made
of diaphanous fabrics.
One in peach colored crape—enough
to make any woman “enthuse”—had the
front composed of a careless mass of
yellow gauze and lace. The back was
adorned with a cascade of the same ma­
terials, and the sleeves were draped with
lace at the top and finished at the wrist
with gauze ruffles. Most of the new
models have long sleeves, falling low
over the hands.—Miss Mantalini in Pall
Mall Budget.

THE FOUNTAIN HEAD OF STRENGTH
When we recollect that the stomach is the
gr.nd laboratory In which food is transformed
into the secretions which furnish vigor to the
system after entering and enriching the blood;
that it is in short the fountain head of strength,
it is essential to keep this Important ’supplying
machine in order and to restore it to activity
when it becomes inactive. This Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters does most effectually, season­
ably, regulating and reinforcing digestion, pro­
mo ring due action of the liver and bowels.
Str. ngth and.quietude of the nerves depend in
great measure upon thorough digestion. There
is no nervine tonic more highly esteemed by
the medical fraternity than the Bitters. Physi­
cians also strongly commend it for chills and
fever, rheumatism, kidney end bladder trouble,
sick headache and want of appetite and sleep.

A few days later a piece of news fell
like a thunderbolt; the Rienzis were to
start for France, summoned by business
interests.
Poor Teresa! Where now would she
meet Monteforte? And how could she
induce him to visit her family?
Teresa’s emotions assumed an extra­
ordinary violence; she shed all her tears
at the thought of seeing Mme. de Rienzi
no more. The same blow struck her in
her love and in her friendship, neither
remaining to mitigate the loss of the
other.
In three days the Rienzis finished their
preparations for departure. Many artists
accompanied them to the station; they
came from Naples for this sad farewell,
Rienzi’s departure meant the end of
their reunions and good fellowship, and
each one felt that things that are gone
seldom come back.
They brought flowers, bonbons, souve­
nirs, Sorrento woods and ribbons. The
men embraced each other: there were

“Hum!” he-growled;'“in the second
row! I who have no enemies! It would
be like them not to buy it of me. Papa
refuses me any advances, and I haven't
a sou.”
In a melancholy mood Monteforte took
a chair, and, without false modesty,
placed himself before his canvas, “A
Symphony in Azure.”
He had long been haunted by Whist­
ler’s ideas—symphonies in gray, in black,
in pink, in white; symphonies in all sorts
of things.
And he, Monteforte, seeing the gulf
whose azure had been sung by all the
poets, and observing the cloudless sky,
had formed an idea of painting a sym­
phony, but in the blue gamut.
In the foreground two figures; a young
woman dressed in periwinkle blue and
a young child dressed in turquois blue,
with sea and sky for a background.
It was as simple as that.
But he was very sure that no one, no
other artist, would think of it.
And, in fact, no one had thought of it.
Every one would have been careful to
avoid such a subject, and especially such
an execution of it,
Now, with rested eye, Monteforte
judged it otherwise than in his studio.
This otherwise, moreover, did not seem
to satisfy him, for he made up a very
wry face.
Azure! There it was indeed, and plen­
ty of it. But the sy mphony? The blues
jarred frightfully.
Decidedly his canvas lacked harmony.
A chromo, and a bad proof at that.
Monteforte did hot believe in his ge­
I
nius; but, like every one, he sometimes
aspired to something which, alas! did
not appear in his work.
Discouraged, with empty purse and
drooping head, he went away without
saying a word to any onp; and encoun­
tered the aged Ferucci on the stairs.
“Ah! it is a timely meeting,” exclaim­
ed the latter; “will you go up again?”
“No, I am going back to Portici,” an­
swered Orlando, rather ill humoredly.
“Very well,” said Ferucci, simply, “I
will walk along with you.”
They proceeded in silence for a time.
At the Piazzi Dante, Ferucci opened the
conversation:
“You do not ask me what I had to
say?”
“Ah! to be sure! you ?.re right,” mur­
mured Monteforte, shaking off his
thoughts. “I forgot. It is because—I
am in ill humor, you see.”
“Indeed!’.’ commented theother. “Your
picture?"
“Yes. It is very bad, isn’t it?”
“Hum! Well, I will not conceal my
opinion. No, it is not what one can call
a good picture.”
“That’s right, my old friend, be frank.2
Tell me the whole truth.”
“You desire it? Sincerely?”
Monteforte nodded acquiescence.
“Then so be it!” said Ferucci. “But
as it forms a part of what I wish to say
to you, let me begin at the beginning.”
Ho collected his thoughts for a moment,
and then continued:
“This morning I met M. Cardelli; Iris
daughter, Teresa, is very sick,
so seriously sick that the parents know
not which way to turn; the doctor him­
self declares that he can do no filing.”
“Poor little creature!” exclaimed Mon­
teforte, in a tone of commonplace com­
miseration!

one day last week as, accompanied by
her French bonne, she promenaded with
great dignity of demeanor down Com­

a cape coat of rose colored broadcloth
bordered with beaver fur and lined with
fawn and rose shot silk. Her tiny hands
were thrust info an equally tiny muff of
beaver, and a large fawn colored hat cov­

CHAPTER in.
Some one asked me the other day what
was the origin of women proposing mar­
riage during a leap year. 1 looked it up,
and while it may not be new to all I dare
say it will interest many, in the year
1288 a statute was published by the
Scotch parliament, of which the follow­
ing is a copy, and is, to my mind, the
origin of the custom or idea. 1 do not
know that it is a custom or ever was:
“It is ordaint that during the reign of
her niaist blessit majestie, Margaret, like
maiden, ladee of baith high and low es­
tate, shall hae liberty to speak to the
man she likes. Gif he refuses to take
her to be his wyf, he shale be mulct in
the sum of ane hundredity poundis or
less, as his estait may bee, except and
alwais gif he can make it appear that he
is betrothit to another woman; then he
shall be free.”
After the dear old Margaret had
passed away the women becatne clamor­
ous for their privileges, and to appease
them another act of parliament allowed
them the privilege every fourth year.
This year is leap year, and no doubt the
question will be asked, What gave rise to
the notion that women may do their
own courting?—Interview in Chicago
Tribune.
endless “Ewjvas!”
Then the train moved off.
Teresa was shaken with sobs. Monte­
forte tried to comfort her, not knowing
to what saint to appeal, and filled with
pity at sight of this explosion of grief."
And under the influence of her emotion
he promised to go to Naples to see them,
herself and her family, for they were to
return to their home in a few days.
“Oh! you will not fail. M. Monteforte,”
said she. “I beg you not to fail. If you
do, I shall be very unhappy. Ah! I lose
all my friends at once. We will talk of
them; you will come? Do you promise?”
He promised; and he kept his word.
Three weeks later he appeared at the
Carde Ills’.
Montetorte was very well received; too
well, in fact. The whole family was
there. Never had M. Cardelli been more
solemn; he wanted to positively dazzle
his visitors
Mme. Cardelli, warned by her daughter,
had been expecting him every day. In
his honor she had clad herself in the
most sumptuous of her dresses.
The maiden aunt, Aunt Mariuccia, had
also gone to great trouble; it was dis­
tressing.
They talked pictures, music, books.
They invited the young man to make
use of their family box at the theatre.
The maiden aunt ventured a few words
so proper that Monteforte shuddered.
Teresa alone, in speaking of Mme. de
Rienzi, of the days that had passed, of
her regrets, found, poor child, appropri­
ate things to say. And already the young
man was ready to thinljkindly of her
for the tenderness-and sM-ow which she
expressed so gracefully.
But the others spoiled this happy im­
pression, drowning it; alas! beneath their
benevolent mediocrity.
The visit was long; they asked him to
come again; he promised all that they
desired.
But once outside he ejaculated an
“ugh!” of deliverance, and said aloud in
order to emphasize it:
“Thank you very much! But never
will you catch me there again!”
And in fact weeks went by; then
months. He-did not come back.
The artist was too well brought up to
voluntarily carry out so radical project
of abstention; but he lived at Portici,
and his mother, who was something of
an invalid and whom he dearly loved,
kept him closely to herself. Moreover,
still under the influence of Rienzi’s ad­
vice, he worked.
When he took the omnibus to go to the
city it was evening. He returned on the
last trip.
Nevertheless he left his card twice at
Teresa’s parents’, giving distance as an
excuse.
For the first few days he sometimes
queried whether the young girl’s regrets
had calmed.
But soon he ceased to think of the mat­
ter and never heard her spoken of by any
one.
