This is not true of all. for there are many, so unro- mantic by nature, as to fail to appreci­ ate all the little pleasantries, which fate, with her unseen hand, throws into our faith, making light our bur­ dens, and sweetly healing our sor- rom * * fortunately, my sincere friend, Thos. Hood, and I belong to those of the warmer, the more fanciful class: who believe in making the best of life, and absorb all that real unre­ ality, which is thrown into our not too flowery paths. For years, we have been true friends and confidants. There is a traveler by nature and profession, and always on his return from his trips has he something new to relate; and Qftep the strangest of tales, seemingly usual, a^s he tell. And to doubt his veracity--ah, never, where then would our friendship be? On his return from his recent Southern trip, as is his custom, he was visiting me. Both bachelors, of thirty falls, (partly from grace, I fear), we flild much in common, and many are the happy hours spent in jovial reminiscent conversation at the Hotel Lynn. On this particular evening, we had reviewed our various experi­ ences both pleasant and otherwise, 6ince our last meeting; and, doubtless the other guests of the hotel, who, seemingly, were of sadder mood, were glad when our almost hilarious laugh­ ter had ceased, and I was an earnest listener, to the following little ro­ mance, which Theodore related: "Now, Bon, (my name is Bonnell, but friends have shortened it for con­ venience), you know I am not a flirt, and never behave like one; and if you see anything in this little experience, which looks like forwardness on my part, don't blame me. Just put yourself in my place and- try to think how you would do under similar cir­ cumstances. "I was returning North, after my last h:wd trip--a very successful one, by the way, ness standpoint. on the train some had been lounging dozing, in, fact, sleeping. On enter­ ing the car, I had paid very little at­ tention to its other occupants, not through a feeling of selfishness, but simply because my mind was wander­ ing. I was thinking of home, of you, in fact, of most everything but my immediate surroundings. Qn awak­ ening from my semi-sleep, I looked around me, and found, what in the middle of a September afternoon on board a train, is an unusual thing--be­ sides myself there but two other pas­ sengers. "As usual, this story has a woman --two of them--in it; and these two were my fellow passengers on this eventful trip. From their conduct I could see they had been watching me. Don't think me an egotist, you know me better than that. These young ladies were dressed in neat traveling suits of gray, and from their ruffled appearance, I supposed they had traveled quite a distance. Now it is always very lonesome traveling without friends, and I am told it is especially so to the fairer sex. It seemed so to'these two representa­ tives, and from the occasional glances they bestowed upon me, or the por­ tion of the car occupied by me, I nat­ urally came to the conclusion that my society would be quite accept­ able." "But tell me," I interrupted, hop­ ing to stop what seemed to me a slight show of egotism which seemed to crop out now and then, (Theo. is a very handsome fellow, and if he is the least bit self-conscious as to his looks he certainly has enough good, hard sense to back this spark of self- conceit) "tell me, how do you know they were looking at you unless you, too, were 'taking them in,' to use a very bad expression." "* "Well," he replied, with ready wit and ueual good nature, "I did look at them, but only to see if they were still looking at me." My incredulous sigh, which could hardly be distinguished from a groan, did not in the least disturb him. He continued his narrative: "You will know I never make any advance toward acquaintance, even with plainest looks of invitation. Nor would I have done so in this from a busi- I had been two hours, and about, musing, witching of smiles: "Thank yon, I had just wagered with my friend that you couldn't talk. You don't know how glad I am to find that I am mis­ taken, and I am willing to lose my wagfy if you will only tit down and help us to exist." * "What I said in answer to this frank confession that the handker­ chief affair was only a snare, I do not know. But I sat down and soon learned to know my new acquaint­ ances quite well. There are some natures, you know, that are talkative. At once frank, and honest, you at first knowing trust them. This was a case of that kind. I learned that her name was Gladys Reed, and in company with her friend, Mona Everett, was returning to their home in Wisconsin, after an extend tour in the South and West. Glcdys was, at once, as interesting, as she was 'good to look at'--and I have since found that she occupies quite a little space in my thoughts. We were fel­ low passengers until we reached Chi-, cago, which was the en<J of my jour­ ney. During our day's companion­ ship, I managed to see her alone for a few moments, the result is we have corresponded ever since." This was far too interesting for me to let it end here. "Have you seen her since, "I asked. " Yes, once; and again in the strangest of ways." f urged him to continue. He hesi­ tated a moment, aud I could see plainly that he would rather with­ hold this part of the story. I had guessed his secret. I felt sure he was in love with Gladys, but. still in a state of doubt and uncertainty as to her feelings. In a moment_he surprised me by saying--^"Boh, we have-always trusted each other, but somehow this was a part of the story I did not want to tell, even to you." In tones of assurance, I answered: "Theo, I understand and you cer­ tainly have my "best wishes. If I am any judge, wha tever, I think this is a two-sided affair." His looks conveyed his appreciation, angjie continued: • "Two weeks ago, I went to C----, a small town in Eastern Michigan, to attend Carl Howson's wedding. You remenber, I wrote to you about it. Carl and I hadtbeen friends for many years, and when I received his wed­ ding invitation, and an earnest letter from him, asking me to attend, I ac­ cepted. Could I have forseen the coining evente, it would not have taken t two invitations to insure my acceptance. "Carl met meat the station, and after lunch, took me to call upon Miss Barny, his intended. We had been there but a short time when Miss Barny announced to my astonished ears: "I have % Mend here, Miss 4*layds Reed, of R---, Wisconsin. Shfe is to be my bridesmaid." Before I had time to recover from my great as­ tonishment, Gladys appeared. As neither Carl or Miss Barny knew of our acquaintance, their surprise was equally great, when Gladys stepped forward and graciously extended her hand in greeting. No introduction was needed, and after full explana­ tion, we were a very happy quartette. "After the wedding, Gladys re­ turned to her home. I accompanied her to Chicago. From there I came direct here. These were our only two meetings. You know the whole story. What do you think of it?" "Think of it," I answered. "I think that if she is as charming as I have reason to believe she is, I should be as madly in love with her as you are." "Charming--half to himself--"she is more than that, she is fascinating, she is " and then followed a rap­ turous account of her beauty and tal­ ent, which impressed upon my mind the fact that it was a very serious case. When he had finished and had again come down to the commonplace, I told him in true friendship: "If I were you, Theo., I should visit her at once. The prize is yours, I am sure. Go and get it." He did not answer this advice, and during the remainder of the evening seemed lost in thought. I did not; disturb him. His stay with me this time was shorter than usual. I guessed the reason, hut said nothing. * * • • * # Two weeks have passed since that memorable evening. . This morning's mail brought me the following ex­ planatory letter: K , Wi8COXsiN, Not. 90,1890. My 1>bar Bon: Yours are the first con­ gratulations Ifeeek. Gladys &u<f l ace en­ gaged. Truly. Theo. I did congratulate him, and' yet I felt as if our friendship had been sev­ ered; it had at least been broken into by something stronger. According to an early arrangement I am to be his "best man"--a not too enviable being. This was clearly a case of love at first sight and proves that Victor Hugo was right when he said: "The first symptom of true love in a young man is timidity, in a young woman, boldness." 1 ' • * case had it not been for other than" facial allurement.

Sponges come for the most part from the eastern portion of the Medi­ terranean. The Bahama sponges from the West Indies are of very poor quality, and those from Tunis are too hard for general use. Those imported from Asia Minor and the Greek Arch­ ipelago are the finest, and are chiefly used. The island of Kalimno on the southwest coast of Asia Minor, is the headquarters of this industry. The fishermen set out in May and return in September, fishing during that time off the shores of the islands of Greece, of the Southern Sporades, and especially of Rhodes, of Crete, of the whole extent of Syria, of the island of Raud and of THni*. The spongeg ar§ fcakejj hack to Kalimno Slid sold. The Kalimno fishers usu­ ally carry on operations at a depth of from fifteen to twenty feet, but no deeper, as it is considered that be­ neath this there are no sponges pos­ sessing any e&mmercial value. There are several methods of collecting sponges. They are plucked with the hand by help of a diving bell, or -are harpooned or dragged up 'frith a "SGrt of instrument resembling that used in oyster fishing. The harpoon Is the instrument mainly employed. McFikom--Did you liave "bY a time with the, boys last night? Mo Famgle--Time! Well, I should smile. Y<©u ought to have had the headache fe VOtte ttp^ith this mor Speech is a very complicated pro­ cess. Many muscles and as many nerves are concerned in' it, with a, delicacy and rapidity of' movement truly wonderful. The whole process is presided over by cerebral centres, which supply the nervous force and co-ordinatd or harmonize the various movements. We learn to use our vocal organs so early that our atten­ tion is not called to the difficulties involved, and we are much surprised at occasional failures. In stammering, the trouble may be said to be in the brain, but there is no organic injury. Something so inter­ feres with the normal outflow of mo­ tive force from the nervous center, »that some of the muscles concerned in speech act spasmodically. . The spasm may be in the larynx, or in muscles of respiration. The difficulty very rarely occurs in pronouncing vowels or in singing, since singing has mainly to do with the vowel' sounds. The chief diffi­ culty is with consonants, especially with the explosive consonants, b, p, d, t, g (hard) "and k. ; The trouble generally shows itself between the ages of four. , and four­ teen. Many causes may originate it, and it may pass away with the cause. Even confirmed stamcrers commonly improve after maturity.;; . .. Medical treatment is of little avail. The main reliance is on educational methods. • The patient must train himself to speak with calm delibera­ tion;, to keep his lungs well filled with air; and to check himself and begin the sentence again, instead of strug­ gling with the impeding letter. He should also gi ve much attention to deliberate re ad i ng. An eminent physician, who had been » terrible stammerer in boyhood, and v»no never fully overcame the de­ fect, says that the letter "m" gave him special trouble. But he could speak it readily if he uttered the let­ ter "o" before it. His upper teeth would wound his. under lip in. the eft- fort to sj-eak the word "method"! in public, e . • He found great difficulty in saying "good morning." the"g" as well as the "m" troubling him; but he could say it if, at the same moment, he raised his hat. He could easily read a lecture in public if he had carefully read it it over beforehand, and thus secured calmness. Sometimes, find­ ing himself about to stammer over a particular word, he would substitute an equivalent expression, and thus escape.--Yot<th's Ootnpamon. A Uantel in Judgment. A Russian Solomon discovered on which side justice lay in a recent difficult case by an ingenious expedi­ ent. In the uuiversity town of Dor- pat a prosaic, plodding burgher com­ plained ' to the, "judge of the peace" "that he had been defrauded by the defendant of jbwenty. roubles" (about ten dollars.) , f'I bought a cow from him--he is a peasant, Your Honor," he exclaimed, "and I fkst paid for the animal, and theh asked him to drive it from the market-place Into my yard. This he agreed to do. Then the scoundrel declared I had not paid him--there were no wit­ nesses to the transaction--and re­ fused to budge until I had again paid for the cow." After listening to the story the judge asked the defendant if he had received the" money. Of course he denied doing so. "Then," said the judge, "the^plaintiff's claim, unsupported by witnesses or evidence of any kind, is null and void. He seems an honest fellow, though, and has evidently lost his twenty roubles. Let's make up a little subscription for him, I head the li$t with five roublesi. Won't you give something, too?" he inquired of the defendant who had won the suit. The man complied at once, and handed a three rouble note to the judge, who ex­ amined it critically. "Where did you get this forged money?" he sternly asked. The peasant turned red, then yellow, till at last in despair he cried out, "This forged note belongs to the plaintiff He did pay me twenty roubles, for the cow, the rascal, but he paid.me in forged notes, and that is one of them. It comes to what I said, that he didn't pay me. all, it is he that must go to^iberia for utter­ ing forged notes, not I. I am as in­ nocent as the babe unborn." The judge condemned then and there that innocent peasant to refund the twenty roubles, for the notes were really as good as the best that circulate in the empire of the czars. : Pavements of Broken Ulaaa. A new use has been found for bro­ ken glass in Paris. Any fragments of broken glasg or various colors are mixed together, after having been broken to a suitable siae; they are then placed in moulds lined with silica, taie, or some other resisting material, and fired. A coherent mass is produced which can be dressed and cut into blocks, which are, of course, irregularly colored. Such blocks may be used as artificial marble. The blocks are usually rough on one side, owing, perhaps .to incom­ plete fusion; this gives a surface which is admirably adapted for caus­ ing them, especially if they are slab­ like in form, tp adhere to walls with the addition of a little mortar. Fine decorative effects can thus be pro­ duced, Designs in relief can be ob­ tained by pressure while the block or slab is still plastic. i t If a suitable mould he prepared With a movable partitions, then pieces of glass can be arranged in such a way that upon firing a very effective "stained glass" window is produced, the necessity of using "leading" as in the ordinary way, being thus obviated. This Idea will enable many manu­ facturers who have heaps of "waste" glass lying about useless to turn them with very little expenditure to profit­ able account.-- A hew article of food has been in- tniduced in California, known as Kttprton's Egg Noodles and Egg Bar­ ley.
