" Oh, Miss Fay, Is it you f said Harry. "Do you work here? Upon my word, you seem to be in very com­ fortable quarters." " But I don't stay here all the while," said Flora, noting how his glance wan­ dered from gilding to fresco, Axminstar Carpet, to bronzed chandelier. "I sew in a little dark room, where there is a stifling smell of coal gas, and no carpet on the floor." "I've come for a dress," said _ Capt Drake, plunging headlong into his sub­ ject, after the fashion of men in general --" my sister's dress. She is to be mar­ ried next week, and some of her friends coaxed her to have her dress made here. Miss Fortescue--«he's only my half- sister, you know," in answer to Flora's look of questioning surprise; " but she's very nice, and is going to many well, I hope." « "it's the mode-colored dress," said Flora, with brightening eyes. " I helped to trim it myself. Yes, it's all ready." And presently madame came in, with the bill, and the dress foldi neatly in a white pasteboard box, Capt Drake departed with a' dim idea that Madame Molini perfectly compre­ hended the art of high charges. Miss Fortescue herself came next day. She was a young lady not lacking in quiet resolution. She knew her rights, and was prepared to defend them. „ " Where is the material I sent ?

You have intermed­ dled unwarrantably in the matter of that CASSS of diphtheria an reported by a medical authority to have resulted from damp walls.

A PKIZE of about $1,000 is offered by the Beale Istituto Veneto for the best history of the "experimental method" in Italy. The application of this method to the physical sciences is chiefly to be expounded. Memoirs must be sent in before the end of Februsiy, 1885.

And she won't run in debt, she says, not even for a meal of victuals. Ah!" the good woman added, " I can remember when she was the pet and <fcirling of the old folks at home, before they lost their all, running about among the daisies ajad buttercupe like a sunbeam." " But how did she eome to lose her place ? " asked Capt. Drake. And Mrs. Dodds, who liked to hear the sound of her own voice, told the whole story. " It's a shame," cried the Captain. " Just what I say myself," nodded the landlady. And the next day, Miss 'Fortescue (who was Mrs. Arkwnght now), came to see Flora Fay. " It was all my fault," said she, with affectionate vehemence, " that you lost your situation--and oh, if you would only come and stay with me, and help me with the sewing for my new house, I should esteem it such a favor. Would you, please?" " Are you quite sure that I can make myself useful? " said Flora, a little hesi­ tatingly. "Yes, yM?7e,"said Mrs. Arkwright. And, jm the sunny atmosphere of the bride's pretty home, the young country- girl seemed to expand into a different creature. Capt. Drake, the most de­ voted brother in the world, came there nearly every day ; and little Flora, all unconscious of her own feelings, began to watch for his dally visit as a helio­ trope blossom watches the sun. Until, at last, there was talk of anoth­ er long voyage to Japan, and then Flora grew pale and nervous again. " I--I have been here long enough," she said. "If I go to the Exchange Bureau they will probably tell me-of a new situation. And I need change." But Capt. Drake went straight to the roet of the matter. "Flora," said he, " are you unwilling that I should sail to Jeddo ?" " I always had a horror of the sea," whispered Flora, hanging down her pretty head. "But, of course, Capt. Drake, you must do as yon please." " Yes, of course," he answered, ab­ sently, and when he 'had gone Flora sVed a few quiet tears over the table linen she was hemming for Mrs. Ark­ wright " How bold and unmaidenly it is of me," she thought, " to let myself cars for a man who does not think twice of me! If he had cared one iota for me would he not have said so then ?" But the next evening at dusk Capt. Drake sauntered in with that swinging gait of his, as if he were still treading the deck of an outward-bound vessel. "Don't run away, Flora," said he, as the girl caught up her work and pre­ pared for a precipitate retreat. " Did--did you want to speak to me?" she faltered with downcast eyes. "Don't I always want to speak to you? Bit down, Flora," said he, "and hear what I've been planning." " Now it is coming,'" thought Flora, with a sick feeling at her heart " He is going to be married, and he is coming to tell me so." " I have decided to give up the sea­ faring business," said Capt. Drake. " Have you ? " fluttered Flora faintly. " I am so glad I " " And I've bought a farm in Connect­ icut," he went on--"the old Berkshire farm, Flora, where you were born and brought up. I'm going to be a farmer." She looked at him, the rose and lily following each other across her cheeks. " Oh !" she cried, involuntarily. "H I could only see the dear old place onoe morel" " But I won't go there to live," said the Captain, determinedly, "unless you'll go there with me, Flora, as the farmer's wife ! What do you think of it, little girl? Shall it be a partner­ ship?" And when Mrs. Arkwright came in, the papers were all sealed, signed and delivered, and the " partnership" was a foregone conclusion. "I don't khow how I shall succeed as a farmer," said Capt. Drake to his sister; " but if little Flora here is only with me, there's nothing in all tho world tl»«t I haven't the courage to undertake." And when Mrs. Arkwright took Flora's hand in hers, the girl whispered: "I think I am the happiest creature it all the wide world to-night. Because, dear Mis.

Orders and decorations are anything but rare in Germany, as every one knows, but the real extent of them will surprise most persons. 'It appears from the new army list that the Crown Prince possesses no fewer than sixty-five stars and crosses; that his uncle, Prince Charles, has fifty-five; his cousin, Prince Frederick Charles, fifty-five; Count Puckler, the Emperor's chfunberlain, forty nine; Bismarck, forty-four; Moltke. forty-three; Prince Albrecht, thirty- five ; Manteuffel, thirty-three, and Blu- menthal, thirty-two. THK Chinese exhibit almost every known form of skin disease, and are also much subject to dyspepsia and lung af­ fections ; but their " favorite " disease, if it pî y be so called is rhenmatini. dyspepsia. From these experiments he draws the practical lesson that the in­ fusion of coffee should be sufficiently sweetened to stimulate the secretory funotion, and thus assist digestion. TRANSITS of Venus across the face of the sun have been employed by as­ tronomers to determine the sun's distance from the earth. These transits recur at alternate intervals of 8 and 12} and 8 and 105} years. The transits of 1761, 1769 and 1874 were observed with great care from various parts of the world The transit of 1874 especially was a mat­ ter of great interest and attention, as it was hoped that the errors from previous observations might be corrected. Observ­ ing parties were sent out by many coun­ tries, and improved means of investiga­ tion--notably photography--were em- Eloved. Results have not yet been given 1 full, but as nearly as can at present be judged, the distance of the sun is about 92,000,000 miles. The transit of Venus December 6, 1882, is the last for nearly a century and a quarter. METEORIC stones sometimes fall in one or two masses, and at other times in a large number of fragments--thousands, perhaps--which are scattered over acres or even miles of territory, while on some occasions the fall takes the form of showers of fine dust The quantity of mineral matter thus falling k often very considerable. In 1511 a shower of many hundred stones occurred in Crema, one of the pieces weighing 260 pounds and another 120. On the west coast of Greenland were found the largest un­ broken masses on record, and the largest specimen, and weighing twenty-five tons, is now in the Royal Academy of Stock­ holm. A well-founded estimate places the number of aerolites which reach the earth annually at 5,000 at least It is probable that in early geological ages the fall was much greater than now. It has continued year after year, through a vast lapse of time, furnishing good gronnds for the extending belief that the earth has derived material Editions to its substance from tin seeumulatton of meteoric matter. Shot From a Catapult. Our fellow-citisen, Bill Jonea--so called--was one among the large crowd that attended the circus in Griffin, i Georgia, says the &'an of that city. | The feature that attracted Mr. Jones' j attention more than anything else, was I the wonderful catapult--the flying ma- I chine--and the daring Lu Lu. The j catapult is a wonderful machine, and is ! so constructed, that by the agency of a I a large number of rubber fcords, i(t will | throw a man a great ways in the air, ! giving him several evolutions before ; alighting. This trick excited the imita- I tiveness of Mr. Jones, and he told ; Johnny Doe and Dick Roe in confi­ dence that he could fix up a machine that would fling him as far as the cata­ pult did Lu Lu, and a small wager was put up to stimulate Jones in the under-, 1 taking. Now, be it known, Mr. Jones is the ; man who has been run over ly a freight . train, and a 2:40 trotter in full tilt knocked 1 him within an acre of the further bank j of the dark river, and the hard side of a- : brick on another occasion come near | taking the half of his head off, yet, i being unbaftied, he built a catapult of J his own devising. The machine was easily constructed, being made of two j good-sized hickory saplings, bent down {and cut off about fifteen feet from the I earth. Across these a plank was fastened, I upon which the would-be Lu Lu waa to 1 lay himself. At about the distance he I imagined he would fall a large lot of loose hay was placed, so as to make the I descent easy. Everything being placed j in circus-like order Johnny Doe and' { Dick Roe and the boys in the neighbor- I hood were notified to be on hand. [ The catapult was sprung by means of a windlass and a rope. " Now," said Jones, putting himself in a position that would have excited the envy of Lu Lu, the original, "when I say ready, out the cord and turn it loose. Everything was arranged and the com­ mand given. Dick clipped the cord and Jones went up as if he had been shot from a 200-pound gun, and Johnny Doe says he went up as high as the weather cock on the court-house steeple. He passed forty feet beyond the hay pile, and fell in close proximity to a big stump. The only injury received by Mr. Jones was five broken ribs, nose dislocated, knocked breathless, and one arm a lit­ tle out of socket His physicians say he will recover. The Man Monkey. The gorillas are the terror of Africa. Tn the gorilla country no lion will live. .They are man haters, and kill them for the love of it, leaving the body, never eat­ ing them. When they spy a negro they come down from a tree, hit him on the head with a club, which they wield with their hind claw, or carry liim up into the tree, there to murder him. Their strength is so great that they will bend the barrel of a rifle. Onlv one live one was ever brought to England, and that loon died. Several have been shot, but they are tough customers, and the na­ tives dread them more than any animal of the African forests. The gorilla makes a bled like a hammock, and swings in the trees. The gorilla is the sworn enemy of the elephant, because each derives its subsistence from the same source.

Hacket yitroduced this play upon the stage, and was the first person who acted the part of "Rip," the sleepy Dutch­ man. The writer saw and heard him at the Eagle-street Theater, in Buffalo, over forty-five years ago, w^en he appeared in this comedy. It hm 'been improved or varnished up since that time, and is now (it I may use the expression) " Rip Van Winkle with variations." I have heard it played by Joe Jeffer­ son and ofliers. At the hazard of being called an old fogy, I will state that I have never seen Hackett's superior in the part of "Rip." He was, to use a trite saving, "head and shoulders" above any of his imitators. In the wizard scene in the valley and the dreary tramp up the Catskill Mountains, carrying a keg of liquor upon his shoulders; in the long sleep of twenty years, the awaken­ ing, the search for his guu, which was found in a tree and above his reach, the sorrow depicted at the loss of, his favor­ ites, Hackett was inimitable. How life­ like was the acting when he appeared in his native village after an absence of twenty years, where he saw only a few of the descendants of the old Dutch burgh­ ers--his recognition of his son, a chip of the old block--his emotions manifested on hearing of the death of his " frau," Dame Van Winkle, and particularly hi old Snyder--the change that had taken place in the village inn, once hiB favorite haunt and where he often met his boon companions--the new sigu with the like­ ness of George Washington upon it in­ stead of George IIL--the election at the old hotel where he is asked "who do you vote for ?" his reply, " George III.," not having heard the name of George Washington, are interesting scenes, and when Hackett acted were truly life-like to me. How successful has been that amusing comedy. It has netted to Jefferson and others thousands of dollars. Yet, as I learn, the original was written when Irving was in a happy mood, and was not considered by him as of much im­ portance or as a good production.--De­ troit Advertiser. MA CHARLES A.

Pryor, of Virginia, and John F. Potter, of Wisconsin, Rep­ resentatives in Congress from their re­ spective States, lost their tempers dur­ ing a debate and culled each other some hard names. The Virginian challenged the Wisconsin Representative to mortal combat. The challenge was acoepted, and Mr. Potter, having the choice of weapons, named bowie-knives. To this Mr. Pryor objeoted, on the ground that the bowie-knife was a barbarous weapon not recognized by the code, and the duel was off. The affair created more amusement than apprehension iu Wash­ ington circles. While it was at its height, the "yeas " and "nays" were one day called in the House. Mr. Potters name was reached, and, as he failed to re­ spond, a jovial member of Teutonic an­ tecedents from Pennsylvania arose in his seat and said : " Mr. Speaker, Mr. Potter has a Pryor engagement." This took well, and "when Mr. Pryor's name was called, he, too, being absent, the member arose again and said : "Mr. Speaker, the gentleman has gone to be as clay in the hands of the Potter." DR.

A little boy found a poor, half-frozen wasp in the garret, and placed it upon a chair before the fire to thaw out. Surely the angels must have looked down approvingly on such an act of kindness.

Two minutes later there was as much noise and racket in that parlor as if it had been turned into a den of demons.

If thus disappointed write oixeot to the Doctor, 189 Madison street, Chicago.
