A SPANISH llLUKHKAUl)
There wn once a Spanish gentleman
of high rank, who led a very wild mid
dissolute life, but now desired to set
tle dowu to his own estate and take to
himself a wife, who would preide over
Ids household in a lilting fashion. Be
lt and handsome, Ills w ickedness
or naught: and soon he was b-
!1 to a lovely lady, wlnne family
pleased with the alliance, and
who brousrht hint a tine fortune.
i The wedding was celebrated with
I pivat pomp, and he brought his bride
home to his palace, the poor of the
' place gatherad as tuual bImiuI the door;
niKl out a wintered out neggar-wo-nian
was loud in her praise of the
lady's lieauty. and begged to be per
mitted to present her with a Itoqtict of
wild flowers that she had gathered in
the woods.
"A tHior offering, my ladr," said
the woman, "but all the poor gypsy j
has to give." 1
The lady took the flowers with a !
mile, and dropped a coin into the ,
gypsy's hand. As she entered the door
she bent her lovely head and inhaled
the perfume of the flowers. j
The servants remembered the ac- !
tiou. and her smile, asjsho paed into ;
! her apartment, leaning on her hits- j
! band's arm. for it was the last they j
i ever saw of her. An! hour after she
lay dead, ami all the doctor In Madrid ;
could not tell what had killed her. j
The young widower was very sad for j
a lousr time, but Vy ami by he liegau to j
find life bright once more, and chose 1
for himself a second w ife. This lady
was lovelier than the first, though not I
' so rich, ller predecessor's fate did not '
alarm her, for she was strong ami full j
of health. Death seemed to lie very ;
far from so radiaut a r real lire, as she j
stood iieforo the church altar and
plighted her Imth to the man with j
whom she hoiied to pass her life; but I
those who rememliered the lirst wife's
fate shuddered as nt the fall of even
tide sh entered the gates of her hus
band's villa. The same old gypsy who
had greet cd the former bride stood
am'hlst the crowd.
"Ileateu and the saints bless you.
lady!" she cried. "I greeted her who
came before, and faded like a flower.
Mav von live until vour hair is as
hile as mine. Flowers are all I have '
to give. Will yon honor me by taking j
them, lady?'' " (
The bride, as the other bride had j
done, accepted the offering, and re- j
paid the gift with a coin.
She held the blossoms loosely in her j
hand, and passed into the hall. A :
banquet was prepared, and she par-
took of it. Wine was ou the lioard; '
she tasted of it. When the dance lie-j
gan none danced more iralv than the :
; bride. It was a merry wedding aud j
j when at last, in the hours of the morn-
! ing the music died awav. the guests

rest As she crossed the threshhold of
the hall she stotqied and picked some
thing from the floor.
'My Hor gypsy's flowers," she said.
T will not raject the humble token of
kindness." and bending her face over
them, she passed out of sight.
Half an hour afterwani the husband
also entered the bridal room. All
was still. The lamplight fell over the
pi lows, but no fair head rested ujn
them. Ho looked about him; in the
corner of the room lap what looked
like a heap of rumpled satin at tirst
sight. He advanced toward it. and
saw a hand that grased convulsively
a little bunch of white flowers, and
w ith a cry of horror, cast himself be
side the tody of his bride. She was
dead; she bore no wound, no sign of
injury about her. Agaiu the physi
cians could not find the cause for the
death, and people began to whisper
tales of evil spirits who haunted this
fatal bridal chamber and did to death
the fair beings who braved the'tu by
entering it.
Again the gentleman was a widower;
again he suffered tmich sorrow, but it
was not eternal. He began in time to
seek another bride, but in vain. No
i one wouKi rsk the fate of tlose otner
j young and lovely women. No one
1 would have this juiitebeatil. the ravs-
: teries of whose castle were so terrible,
j and for years th - oo-
i ing without winning, until ono morn-
ing, meeting me Lonna wo on ner
way to church, her black eyes veiled
bcancth her black mantilla, lie made a
grand impression, aud was permitted
ere long to offer his hand and heart
with true Spanish gallantry.
Donna Mora, who was a widow, lis
tened uot ill pleased.
"I do not detest you. Senor." she
said, "and I frankly tell you so, but
you have had strange bridals hereto
fore. I do not feel tired of life, and
desire to enjoy myself a little longer.
Let me know why your tirst wife died.
You must surely know."
' On my soul, I do not!" said the
gentleman.
"I believe you," said the lady. "Lis
ten to me, then. I am ready to mar
ry you, but before I do, I must be al
lowed to inspect your house from roof
to cellar, lou must vacate it. and
give tuo the keys, and I must go there
alone with my sister, I will discover
the mysterv, if there is one."
"Donna Mora," said the gentleman,
'do as you will. I vacate "the dwell
ing at once. There are the keys. The
long one of steel opens that fatal
chamber, which I beg you not to en
ter the bridal chamber of my dead
brides. Adieu! Thanks for vour
promise, which I shall hasten to claim
when you summon me."
He kissed her baud and rode away.
She at once made ready to seek the
dwelling of which she had heard so
much. The lumbering carriage held
her, her sister, two brothers, maid,
mau-servant and pet poodle very well.
And, at last, they came iu sight of the
old Moorish building, aud paused to
inspect it.
"I begin to tremble," said Donna
Anna.';
S'l have no fears," said Donna Mora.
Then she ordered the coachman to
drive closer, descended and unlocked
the gittn with her own liamU. All whs

Their feet awoke morn upon ihe

and from thu neighbors they drew the

for the lirst time Donna Mora heard
of the old gyisy-nnd her flowers.
Then she waited, pacing Ihe floors of
the empty rooms, while Donna Ann it
watched "from the window, nnd the
brothers smoked cigarettes iu the
court-yard. What was she walling
for? She told no one.
At last "Sister, Is any one com
ing? I thought I heard a step," said
she.
"It Is an old jjt psy with some flow

And ' Donna Mora mild: "Hid her

Then passing between Ihe smoking

by the little dog. who growled, en

Then Donna Mora answered "I am

Then may I offer a few wild flow

She held the flowers toward Donna

Donna Anna hid her face. The

The Virtue of Mot Milk.
It is worthy of reiteration that milk
heated to as high a temperature aa it
can be drunk or sipped, above 100 de
grees but not to the boiling point, is of
great value as a refreshing stimulant
in cases of over-exertion, bodily or
mental. To most people who like milk.
it does not taste so good hot, but that
is a small matter compared with the
benefit to be trot from it.
I fa action IS
exceedingly prompt and grateful, and
the effects much more satisfactory and
far more lasting than those of any alco

Captain Allen up In line recently aud
fired a whole battery Into his ear.
'When Allen was saving Connecti
cut last fall," said Burrows, "he had
nu uppoiiitment in Windham county.
He was met at the ilejnit by an old fel
low ith a bald face and a fringe of
vellow-whiiey whiskers springing up
irotii his ltd far-bone over the edge of
his collar, like witch grass in the angle
of a rail fence.
"This is Mr. Allen. Is ilT asked the
old 'nil.
"It air,' responded the Captain.
"Wall, I've come to take ye to the
mect'nV"
"Without further ado the Captain
climbed into the wagon. It was one
of the kind saved In tho ark. It hail a
rocker body set ou thorough braces
and with wheels two inches across the
tire. The shafts were straight and
l mi up front a low axle to the horse's
neck. The horse was a rat-tailed buck
akin mare which cautert-d behind and
ambled iu frot.t. She wore nu old
fashioned collar and names, cut decol
lette ami stuffed with straw. Allen
tried to stir the old man up by talking
ptditics, but the patriarch didn't seem
: very enthusiastic for the Democracy,
: antf preferred to talk alout foreordina
', tion aud the mortal certainly ninetv-
tiineln a hundred had of being damned.
"Finally they reached the place of
meeting. There was a good crowd,
more women than usual, but a terrible
solemn lot all around. 'I he hall looked
more like a meeting-house than most
places, but Captain Allen was Accus
tomed to ex (wet anything. Old Gal
wats escorted him to the platform,
where solemn - looking mugs shook
haods with him aud didn't utter a
word.
Gad. thought the Captain, this
looks like a funeral. I'll have a job
warming them up.'
Finally one of the solemn parties
walked to the edge of the platform and
said:

Toja nf the IHden Tim.
A thoughtful-looking little gentle
man sat iu the Girnrd House, of Phila
delphia, one evening watching the
jMiiple pass in and out and listening to
snatches of conversation which were
wafted to his car. He Silt alone in a
corner, smoking a pi with a long
slender stem. His black coat was
ornamented with braid, and his grey
hair was topjietl by a black skull cap.
The gentleman is Auguste Blare, of
Paris, an inventor of mechanical toys.
He has si K-nt his life in this work, aud
! each vear brings him additional in
terest in it. Mr. Blare has a marvel
ous fund of anecdote. esiecially about
the wonders of automata, ami takes
great pleasure in talking about the
latter.
Puppets and marionetts were pat
ronized," he sak!, "k o?S by the Greeks
and the Romans, and automata, which
are the invention now principally
dealt in, alo go back to a remote
eriod. Vulcan's t ijiod on wheels has

the Emperor Maximilian at Nurem
burg. flew forth to meet him.
"But oue of the most wonderful of
such inventions of which we have
record was a group of automata con
structed by Philip Camus for Louis
XIV. This consisted of a coach and
four horses that, started off at the
crack of a whip, the horses prancing,
trotting and galloping iu turn. It ran
along until it got iu front of the King,
w hen it stopped. Then a toy footman
descended, and opening the carriage
door, handed out a lady 'with born
grace,' as the records tell us. The
Fatly made a courtesy, presented a
petition to the Emtieror, re-entered her
carriage and was driven rapidly away.
Such is the description of the most
wonderful automatou," concluded Mr.
Blare. "I never saw the tor itself, of

course, but the description
just given
to vou tallies almost word for word
j with an authentic record. I memorized
i the latter at one time, so marvelous
I did it seem to me."
Feeding Canary Birds.
A good many people don't know how
to take care of canary birds, and L
therefore, give them the following ad
vice which I got from a bird-fancier:
"Never give your bird sugar, or tigs,
or raisins, or anything sweet, except
a small piece of sweet apple (eeled)
twice a week. Put the apple in the
cage in the morning and take it out
at night. It should have all the rape
and canary seed it wants and gravel
should be kept at the bottom of the
cage. Avoid feeding the bird celery.
Twice a week feed it on one-third of a
boiled egg. using both the white and
the yellow of the egg. Grate up the
egg; that is better than putting it in
whole. Give it the egg the day before
it gets the apple and as large a piece.
of the former as of the latter, iet
it have a bath every other day,
using water with the chill taken off."
A remarkable little animal has been
added to the Londou Zoo. it is a deer,
though iu size but a trifle larger than a
full grow u cat. The cloven hoofs pro

world lieyond doubt, but it has no

Messrs. Frederick 11 Chapin anil
Charles P. Howard of this city, says the
Hartford t'vuraiU, have recently re
turned from a most interesting ami
fruitful exploring exj.Mlition in south
ern Colorado. They made a special
search for and among the various cliff
dwellings iu the Mancos canyon. They
are exjerience climbers. Mr. Chapin
Is a member of the Appalachian elub;
has climtied Mount Blanc ami the fx- ,
tremely difficult Kothhorn at Zermalt,
and has published numerous articles la
the Ammltichinn and other magazines.
Mr. Howard climbed Mount Blanc with
Mr. Chapin. and made the ascent of
the Matterhoro by iiinelf.
They went out to the". Mancos can-
?on mainly to take photographs of the
nterestlng objects there, but they also
mail many discoveries themselves.
The pictures Mr. Chapin makes are
perfect, and he has brought from this
trip a collection that arts simply -marvelous
and that show us more about
the curious cliff dwellings than can be
told in words, though the story accom
panying the picture, as be tells it.
makes tne scenes complete.
These dwellings in the Mancos can
yon were discovered last December,
and very few people bare seen any of
them. They are scattered all along
the lofty walls of the canyon and its
tributaries. Youtind them in count
less abundance, vet they are almost ab
solutely inaccessible save as the steps
to them are found. They are far up
the side of the gorge, that can not be
scaled from below. And they are down
below the top so far as to be out of "
sight or reach from aliove. and are
generally tucked away under an over
hanging ledge. Tbey are not easily
noticed, and the only way to reach
them is by the steps cut in the stone.
The buildings are uot adobe; they
are mortar and mason-work structure.
The largest that they have explored is
425 feet long a palace or a fortress.
It was at least eighty feet high and
would hare held l.UtSi people. On the
grooud floor 124 rooms were traced.

took pictures instead of gathering ma

while there these things and nearly
all else about them are matters for
speculation. Richard Welherill, a
ranchmau of Mancos. was the discover
er of the first of these dwellings iu that
locality and fouutl them last December.
It is assumed th at they are at least CuO
years old.
Ingeraoll On Crime.
Before the ninth annual convention
of the State Bar association Col. Rob
ert G. I ngersoll delivered an address
upon the subject of "Crimes Against
Criminals." in which at the outset he
demonstrated that punishment by tor
ture and death had fai ed to abate
crime. The following were among Mr.
Ingersoll's utterances:
"Degradation has been thoroughly
tried, with its maimings and brand
ings, and the result was that those who
inflicted the punishment became as de
graded as their victims. It is safe to
say that governments have committed
far more crimes than they have pre
vented. I am perfectly satisfied that
there are millions of others iucapable
of practicing certain virtues. There is
uo reformation in degradation. Who
ever is degraded by society becomes
its enemy. A punishment that de
grades the punished will degrade the
government that procures the inflic
tion. Is there any remedy? Can any
thing be done for the reformation of
the criminal? He should be treated
with kindness. Every right should be
given him consistent with the safety of
society. He should neither be degrad
ed nor robbed. Why should these men
after having been imprisoned for years
be turned out without the means of
support? Would it not be far better
to lay aside his earning so that when
the convict is released after five years
of imprisonment he will have several
hundred dollars of his own, enough to
keep the wolf of crime from the door
of his heart? If we are to change the
conduct of men we must change their
conditions. Extreme poverty and
crime go hand in hand. Ignorance,
tilth, and poverty are the missionaries
of crime. As long as dishonorable
success outranks honest effort as long
as society bows and cringes before the
great thieves there will be little ones
euough to fill the jails."
