Evervi woman is the center of a little universe. It may consist of either ills or pleasures, ,or both, yet it is all her own,\ and she will not thank any one for meddling with It.

Most men fancy that the wedding- march from "Ix>hengrin," however hackneyed it may be, means, in their own cases, a triumphant entry Into heaven. This story is worth telling only because the man in the case was terribly certain that in his wedging- march he was hearing his soul's funer­ al note--the fanfare of the devil usher­ ing him into a hell on earth. And his smile, as he walked down the aisle with her, was not a pleasaut thing to watch. Although even his own sex had al­ ways called him handsome. He was tall, and straight, and brown; his mus­ cles were good and his morals - were good--as modern morals go. At least they were when the beginning was of this end. In those circles that carried him upon their swirling eddies, this young man was immensely liked. He talked well, he danced well, and he won prizes at tennis. Moreover, he was in great fa­ vor in The Office. The Office consid­ ered him one of its most trustworthy officials, and promoted him in delight­ ful disaccord with his years. Is it to be wondered at that women smiled upon him? The smile of woman! Who has weighed the worth, the woe of it! Fickle feminine, blinding the eyes of Reason; rebounding, often, in strange and woeful transformations upon its owner! Had she; but sensed the sadness of her smile's rebound, would this girl have smiled upon this man? Who knows? She was a woman and--who knows? What one does know Is that some­ how, in between the letters he dictated and the words with which she handed him the type-written documents, she lost her srniies and her heart to him. As for him, he noticed it and he smiled back at her--and also to himself. r For he told himself in the formulas of the modern metropolis that she was utterly impossible, except by way of passing amusement She was--well, one has hardly time to bore the world with a minute description of just what sort of girl she was; that would take a three-volume novel of the British type of Tupperism. Thousands of just such girls come up«from little country towns every year to go into city offices; they earn their livings; they marry; they die; they are swallowed up. Whence they come or whither they got who cares In the metropolis? And so the man amused himself. In the beginning the Creator made man King, and nature has not changed her physical laws to accommodate the New Woman. So what had been amusement to the man presently became, for the woman, a misfortune. The dream of bliss, the delirium of present Joy, they all were gone; there was left a dull heartache, and the pain of murdered hopes, and the wlstful^tearful wonder futureward. What pleadings she employed, what tears were shed, one cannot say; what steel of selfishness held back the vials of his pity, only those can know who have seen the city's sneer as it teaches worldliness to its inhabitants. And so, for this time and this re­ cital, the girl passed out and off the stage, to be swallowed up in the great mysterious web of tangled skeins that lie behind the city smoke. She had lo- unto ner. Ana of in Her loire, self-sacrifice and fits wounds, and Its tears, there remained no sign-HfiBvv just one letter, a pathetic scrawl, the document of her heartache. He put the letter into the pocket of his dress-coat, sighed a little, frowned, and presently put on his gloves to escort one of his own set to a dance. And with the reading .of that letter the episode to have passed away. M The King had amused himself. In the meanwhile, and afterward, there were many In his own set who thought fondly of this young man. Perhaps he was engaged to one, per­ haps to more; nowadays that sort of contract Is made of such airy material as to be almost intangible. But there was one girl In particular who said to herself that she would capture this young man, or know the reason why. Opinion was divided about this girl. Some said she was a genius, others declared her to be deceitful and Ill- tempered. Both were right She play­ ed the piano with such splendid tech­ nique as to make her absolute lack of feeling the more remarkable, and in the possession of that one cold and heartless talent she had escaped almost all the other virtues. She had a tem­ per like that of all the furies put into essence; she had a fierceness of jesl- ousy that awoke at atoms and devour­ ed uu>». £»ut titese ner ueiects were known only' to her father and mother, whose endowment they were. The only quality she showed to this young man was an admirable amia­ bility. She was sweetness itself when­ ever he was near her. As for him, he allowed himself to drift Into a certain tacit adoration of* her. He was, poor fellow, very fond of music; the glamour of this gill's growing reputation blinded him with Its promises. Her mother spoke of a trip to Europe. She played In every­ body's drawing-room. He played with the idea of conquering her. And then, again, It came over him that he did not love this girl at all; that she merely fascinated him with a cold glitter of mechanical talents. He resolved to loosen the slight, imag­ ined ties that hope, on her part, had built between them. Pursuing this intention, he grew cool­ er. Clever as she was, she noticed the change at once. But, clever though she was, she was not clever enough to master her temper. Once or twice, nay, several times, she showed him a spirit he had formerly never dreamed of in her; she disclosed her real, hyena­ like nature. She implored, and then she stamped her foot and swore to be revenged. But she had no hold on him. He shuddered and smiled, alternatively, as he thought of what he had escaped. But Fate Is like the cowboy; she sometimes gives us a good deal of rope, but she usually brings us up with a jerk when we least expect It To this young man the jerk came at a ball. She was there, this girl who wanted him, and, not to seem too cold, he was sitting out a dance with her. They talked lightly, flippantly, as l&ople who believe nothing they say. He took out his handkerchief to fleck some dust off his coat; a slight slip of paper escaped with the kerchief, flut­ tering silently upon her dress. She covered it with her fan and slipped her hand upon it When she got to her room that night, she unfolded a crumpled piece of note- paper and read these words addressed to the man she wanted--the man who wanted to make her understand he was tired of her: "Why did you not come as you prom­ ised? It was terrible, terrible! I was so alone, so forsaken! You had prom-s lsed to be there, to help me bear the news that I feared to hear; and when the doctor had told me the worst you were not there. In the dark, alone, I walked home, with the awful surety of my fault heavy on me, and you--not there to help me! If you had been there, It would have been easier! But now--now that you have failed me so, I feel that you have put the shame up­ on me and shirked the weight of it The doctor says it must be! Oh, If I had been able to tell you that then, to hear your comfort! But you left me, at that hour, alone--alone to hear my sentence of shame, alone to find my home in sorrow, "How could you~«0]}, bow could you!" ... , ' There was more in that strain, dis­ jointed and heartrending. It was the anguished agony of betrayal grown eloquent And underneath was a girl's signature. « The girl, having read the note, locked it away in an escritoire. Then she smiled unpleasantly, and, remarking to herself that people were fools not to burn all letters, she drew the curtains. Armed with this damning knowledge, sure of his fear for his reputation in the world's eyes, she thereupon pro­ ceeded to prove to this young man that nolens volens, he was caught He must marry her--or, she held the alternative in her hand! She had ascertained all the details, she had all the circum­ stantial, to say nothing of the docu­ mentary evidence. Exposure as a libertine--or, up the aisle with herself. Caught, like a mole in a trap, he beat but a little against the bars. So that not long afterward, realizing perfectly the sort of a human demon he was tying himself to, picturing viv­ idly the satanlc rages he knew her ca­ pable of, the hideous jealousies and meannesses of her soul, he walked up the aisle of a church with her to make her his wife.

Professor C. V. RDesr thinks he has discovered satis­ factory evidence of telepathy among in­ sects--that is to say, a sixth sense by which they are able to communicate Ideas from one to another at great dis­ tances. The power, as illustrated In the case about to be mentioned, evi­ dently depends not upon sight of smell or hearing. The fact that man Is able to transmit sound by telegraph almost Instantaneously around the globe may suggest something of this subtle power, even though it furnishes no explana­ tion thereof. . Once upon a time Professor Riley had two allanthus trees in his frost yard. They suggested t6 him the idea of ob­ taining from Japan some eggs of the allanthus silk worm. He and hatched them, rearing the larvae and watching anxiously for the appear­ ance of the first moths from the co­ coons. He put all of the rtioths in a lit­ tle wicker cage and hung it up out of doors on one of the allaujUjuis trees. This was a female moth. On the same evening he took a male moth to a ceme­ tery a mile and a half away and let him loose, having previously tied arsllk thread around the base of his abdomen to secure subsequent Identification.1 Professor Riiev's rmrnose in this tvns formance was to find out if the young male and the female moth would come together for the purpose of mating, they being in all probability the only insects of their species within a dis­ tance of hundreds of miles,' excepting only the others possessed by Professor Riley himself. This power of locating each other had previously been re­ marked in these insects. In this case sure enough the male was found with the, captive female the next morning. The latter had been able to attract the former from a distance of a mile and a half. Rare Treasures for the Numismatist. Numismatists have Interesting ob­ jects of search in two coins which be­ long to the transition period between the French republic and the second em­ pire. One of these is an extremely rare coin which was struck off at the mo­ ment of the assumption of the reins of empire sy r^apoleon III. ® Oiriy the uis for the obverse or head of a new im­ perial coin had been completed, and by some accident, or possibly by mischiev­ ous design, a coin was struck off which bore the head of "Napoleon III., Empe-i ror," on the one side, and "French Re­ public" on the other. With the other coin a similar story is connected. While Louis Napoleon was "prince president,^ and just before he made himself empe­ ror, a decree was issued ordering a 5- franc piece to be coined bearing his Image. The dies were made and the coin was struck off as a sample and sent to the prince president for approv­ al But some time passed before he ex­ amined It When at last he gave it his attention he was annoyed to find that he had been represented on the coin with a "love lock," or hooked lock of hair, on the temple, which he did actu­ ally wear at that period, but thought unsuitable to so dignified and perman­ ent representation of himself as an effi­ gy upon a coin. The prince president sent for the director of the mint and ordered him to remove the "love lock." Then he found that his silence with re­ gard to the pieces had been taken for approval, and the stamping of the coins had commenced. The work was stop­ ped and the image deprived of its un­ dignified look; but the twenty-threo coins that had already been struck off were not destroyed^ and are now re­ garded as of great value.--Boston Tran­ script .. . J1*!* „ a ph^i*^mWtmisstnM gical Journal tells a story of Dr. Holmes. It was when a son had been born to him, and, while he was usually very prompt at the Harvard medical school, he was missed one morning. Finally he entered the room hurriedly, glanced around with a smile and said: "Gentlemen, I know I'm late, but there Is a little stranger at my house." And then, with an expression such as only Holmes' face could assume, he con­ tinued: "Now, can any one tell me what well-known business firm in Boston he is like?" There was no answer. "He is Little & Brown," said the Doctor, with a twinkle In his eye. That was a good advertisement for Little & Brown, but It is probable that that pioneer of American humorists, "John Phoenix," gave another Boston firm a better one. Entering a large store in that city one day he said to one of the proprietors, "I think I would like to tuttle a little." "To tuttle! What do you mean by that?"' "I don't know," gravely replied the hu­ morist, "but I read an Invitation over the door, 'Call & Tuttle,' and thought I would like to know how to do It" Approved the Sample. • As Burton, the comedian, was trav­ eling on a steamboat down the Hudson, he seated himself at the table and called for some beefsteak.

Russians and Germans. ^Phat there exists between the two Governments some more or less defi­ nite understanding there can be little doubt Wherein, then, lies its value and importance? Russia gains a use­ ful ally in case of war, ai|tT)lHfr people are put in closer touch witii a nation to which they seem to be drawn by natur­ al inclination. Racial sympathies and antipathies are too impalpable and in- finable to be easily explained, and not the least curious of them is the deep- seated feeling of aversion which the Slav has always had for the Teuton. It is an Indisputable fact that the Russians, as a race, putting aside the Government in Its official capacity, re­ gard the Germans with dislike. It is said that this may be partly owing to the feeling of jealousy aroused by the immense number of German residents In Russia, who make their competition severely felt But, whatever be the causes, there can be no doubt at all about the fact In the French people. th|F Russians see the incarnation and embbdiments of the arts and sciences which give dignity to life and clothe It with grace, and they must view with satisfaction an alliance which may help to counteract the influence and power of the Teuton, from which they would be glad altogether to escape.--Macmll- lan's Magazine. 6N£ DI8EASE THAT BAFFLES THE PHYSICIAN. The 8t»ry of a Woman Who Suffered for Nine Tears--How She Waa Cared* (From the Newark, N. J., Evening News.) Valvular disease of the heart has al­ ways been considered incirnhle. The fol­ lowing Interview, therefore, will interest the medical profession, since it describes the successful use of a new treatment for this disease. The patient is Mrs. Geo. Archer, of Clifton, N. J., and this publi­ cation by the News is the first mention of the case made by any newspaper. All physicians consulted pronounced the pa­ tient suffering with valvular disease of the heart, and treated her without the slightest relief. Mrs. Archer said: "I could not walk across the floor; neither could I go up stairs without stopping to let the pain in my chest and left arin cease. 1 felt ap awful con«triction about my arm and chest as though I were tied with ropes. Then there was a terrible noise at my right ear, like the labored breathing of some great animal. I have often turned expecting to see some crea­ ture at my side. "Last July," continued Mrs. Archer, "I was at Springfield, Mass., visiting, and my mother showed me an account in the Springfield Examiner, telling of the won­ derful cures effected by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. My mother urged me to try the pills, and on November 25th Inst I bought a box and began taking them, and I have been tak­ ing them ever since, except for a short In­ terval. The first box did not seem to ben­ efit me, but 1 persevered, encouraged by the requests of my relatives. After begin­ ning on the second box, to my wonder, the noise at my right ear censed entirely. I kept ri^ht on, and the distress that I used to feel m my chest and arm gradually dis­ appeared. The blood has returned to ray face, lips and ears, which were entirely devoid of color, and I feel well and stroug again. "My son, too, had been troubled with gastritis, and I induced him to try the Fink Pills, with great benefit. I feel that everybody ought to know of my wonder­ ful cure, and I bless God that I have found something that has given me thin great relief." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are now given to the public as an unfailing blopd builder' and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful causes of most every ill that flesh is heir to. These pills are also a specific for the troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, all forms of weakness, chronic constipation, bearing down pains, etc., and in the case of men will give speedy relief and effect a permanent cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever na­ ture. The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, (50 cents a box, or 0 boxes for $2.50-- they are never sold in bulk, or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Japanese Women. Japanese women have, in the past few years, shown signs of waking up to the demands of the nineteenth cen­ tury progress. Very many women of the Flowery Kingdom have engaged In business for themselves, and they are nearly as successful in the matter of in­ dependence as their Western sisters. A subscription has been raised In Tokyo, and subscribed to by several of the Ministers of State, Government officers, and others to erect a monument in Uyeno Park in commemoration of Mrs. Oura, a Japanese woman who died In 1S84, at the age of 57, after having achieved the distinction of being the woman pioneer of foreign commerce la Japan. ̂ One of the surprising things of this world Is the respect a worthless man has for himself. In the HdTf CEjaff. The East Is becoming modernized. There Is a project on foot for the es­ tablishment of a line of steamers on the Dead Sea. The intention is to bring the rich produce of Moab across the sea in a few hours Instead of carrying It, as now, around the north and south end of the sea by caravan, a trip of four or five days' duration. The next we hear will probably be news of an uprising on the part of the camel driv­ ers against the innovation which is to take the bread and dates out of their, mouths. The Stranger's Sheaf. A touching old rural custom prevails In the west of France during the har­ vest season. On the edge of a field bor­ dering the highway a sheaf of grain is left standing, to which all the peasants of the village contribute, and which Is called "the stranger's sheaf," as it is the property of the first tramp or other wayfarer who may care to carry It away and profit by Its price.

During her second week, Mrs. Langtry will present several new pieces, Including, probably. "Agatha Tylden, Merchant and Biilp Owner," which has never been seen here, and her ovn ver­ sion of Eardou's latest drama, "Patrla" "Agatha Tylden " is a play In which the fair English woman made a terrific success during iter recent engagement at the Hay- market Theater. London. It Is from the pen of Edward Bose, one of the greatest of the younger English playwrights, and deals, like brohson Howard's "The Hen­ rietta,'* witii the uUs'ucoi world. 'i he scene Is laid In Blackport. England, and the play opens at the demise of old John Tylden. merchant and ship owner. His daughter. Agatha, becomes the bead of his immense business interests. The story of the play Is a most interesting one, and the four acts abound In dramatic climaxes. "Patrle," the latest work of Sardou, has created a terrific sensation In Paris, and the anglicized version, which Mrs. Lang- try will present. Is said to be the best which has yet been made.

When X was confined I was not sick in any way. I did not suffer any pain, and when the child was born I walk­ ed into another room and went to bed. I keep your Extract of Smart-Weed on hand all the time. It was very cold weather ana onr room was Mas. He Nr. vtiy col*! but I did not take any cold, and never had any after-pain or any other pain. It was all due to God and Dr. Pierce's Fa­ vorite Prescription and Compound Extract of Smart- vv'eed.
