Petroritch, an old college chnni. After some merry talk over oar scrapes and adventure* of former days he^ entreated me to accompany him to the\ouse of his friend, Baron Staloff, at a placfc^about ten miles distant, adding, by way of pefsuafiion: *' Staloff is a fine, open-hearted, generous, hospitable fel­ low, just such a man as you would like to meet; he told me to1 bring with me as as possible. Come, we about, a week. I can promise you a very agreeable visit." Although a stranger to the Baron, as I then thought, I yielded to my friend's request, and we took the afternoon train, arriving at Staloff late in the day. The Baroness received us graciously, regret­ ting that the Baron was unavoidably absent until dinner. Punctually at seven o'clock my friend •nd I entered the magnificent dining room. There was just time for a hasty introduction to the host before we took our seats; we were about twenty at table. "What is the matter with you," whispered Petrovitch, "you look so frightened: have you seen a ghost?" " frightened! I may well look so in­ deed 1 I am frightened. Your fine, generous, open-hearted Baron is my eadly enemy, than whom I would rather encounter a thousand ghosts. I will tell you about it after dinner. After an uncomfortable dinner I suc­ ceeded in finding an opportunity to speak to Petrovitch in private. "That man and I were once friends," said I, 44 but the old story, we both admired the same girl. That made the first breach between us. He proposed to settle the matter by the sword. I easily disarmed him. She jilted both of us for it and married Pavlovski, of the dragoons. Two years later the same thing happened. We fought again. I wounded him severely, and he swore fearful vengeance upon me. But she married him, and is his present wife. * * * But how has he become 'Baron Staloff?' When I knew him he was merely Gregorci Altoff." " His uncle left him (bis property last •ear with his name. He wisely took both." " If I had only known it! The wan bates me and sees me present myself at his dinner-table. How soon can I get away ?" " Not to-night, I am sure. If you fear any treachery, oome spend the night in my room. But, really, the common roles of hospitality--" "Oh, I don't believe in hospitality when it comes to a man of his nature. He has heard 'Macbeth,' and may imi­ tate him--not for ambition, but to sat­ isfy his cherished revenge." I&" Well, I will speak to the servant, and have your bags removed to my room before bed-time." " Thanks, old fellow." The evening passed pleasantly by means of music and cards. The Baroness was charming, the Baron did not appear. Late in the evening my friend left on re­ ceiving a message Irom the Baron to join him. Half an hour later a lackey made a sign to me from the door. 1 turned to him. "I am oome, air, to hand -you this key." "I am to spend the night in friend's room." "Yes, sir, but a larger one has been prepared for yeu two gentlemen when­ ever you are ready. Sir, I am at your service to show vou the way to it." *• 1 am ready now; go OB, I will fol­ low. I followed him, as lamp in hand ho went up a long, winding staircase and along a narrow oorridor until we reached what seemed to be a sort of tower. Here in a broad space, where were several doors, he stopped. "I suppose this part of the house is not oc­ cupied." " Oh, yes, sir, it is all occupied. Your room is one of the beet This is it." He opened the door of a large bare apartment. On one side near a large, old-fashioned bed I saw my traveling bag. "Your friend is here, sir, proba­ bly." and he left me. With the key in one hand and the lamp in the other, I advanced to the fire­ place. There was no fire, but one single stood on the mantel. This I but- the darkness and "loom impenetrable. " Petrovitch is thought I, ae I threw myself tmense arm-chair to wait for him. "What can delay him?" I sat there until midnight. Still be did not come. Rousing myself then, I thought I heard the rattling of a chain. "The fellow is somewhere here. Who else could make a noise ?" Then I dis­ tinctly heard a regular breathing. " He must have fallen asleep somewhere. I will look for him." So, lamp in hand, I proceeded to explore the room. I reached further away than I had thought. * * * I heard the chain agairi. * * * What was my horror to behold, stretched at full length, fast asleep, beside his open cage, a splended tiger. The chain at­ tached to his collar hung losely to the ground; he was free! I rushed to the door. It was locked on the outside ! to the windows, they were enormously high from the ground ! There was no escape for me. There was the treachery I feared. This must be the trap of the generous, hospitable Baron! To call or make a noise might be useless, and would certainly arouse the animal. I had no pistols with me. I carefully and without any noise piled the chairs in one corner to serve as an ambush, reserving a stout little one as a weapon of defense. Then I sat down, keeping my eyes upon him. He lay cat-like, opening occasionally his drowsy eyes, sometimes giving his enormous head a shake. By degrees his sleepiness seemed to pass away, and with a fright­ ful yawn he raised himself up and ad­ vanced toward me. He paused for a moment and, raising his head, he snuffed the air as if aware of the presence of an intruder. With a growl he continued to advance cautiously, as if on his guard against a foe whose strength he was ignorant of. A few steps *»7 candle liorhf not be discovered me to him and, with a growl of rage, he crouched as if for the fatal spring. While I awaited in terror the fearful fate, which would be on me io a few seconds, I could not help admiring the excessive beauty of the animal, whose splendid stripes of black on his brown and orange skin and glaring eve- balls, as he lashed his sides with His tail, made him a perfect study. The quivering movement of his body told me that in a moment I would be torn to pieces without a chance of defense or escape. I closed my eyes for a second, and as I opened them he suddenly raised himself and stood with his head turned towards the door. Was any one coming to save me ? I listened in vain for a foot­ step. Suddenly the soft music of a guitar broke upon the stillness. My first impression was that it meant another trick of the witty Baron, but to my in­ tense relief the tiger with a pun of sat­ isfaction laid himself down against the door in an attitude of attentive and de­ lighted listening. Hour after hour passed away as the music continued without a moment's cessation and his highness the tiger remained subdued and quiet in his evident enjoyment of the sounds. This lasted until daylight, when the doer was suddenly opened and a man entered armed with a heavy whijp and a carbine. This was the tiger s keeper. At sight of him it crept lazily into its cage. The man's surprise at sedng me was very neat. " The secret of this door," said he, " is known to the Baroness and myself alone." I lost no time in escaping from my prison and soon reached the other part of the house. I found Petrovitch wan­ dering about in search of me. I told him what had happened. "I must leave this house at once," said I.' " Stay t# breakfast. Let the Baron see that you are alive and well. I shall so enjoy his surprise." I did stay to breakfast. The Baron's yellow face turned green at the sight of me. The Baroness did not appear. After a month I heard of the Baron's sudden death. I called on the Baroness. She had known of the horrible design on my life. It was by her influence that the servant who confided his suspi­ cions to her was induced to spend the night playing on the guitar, she having known that wild animals are tamed by musical sounds. She is now my wife. The tiger has been placed in a menagerie. I hope they will be as good to him as he was to me, and will feed him well, as I escaped doing! Electric Lamps. If we examine one of the eleetric lamps in the streets, we shall find it consists of two rods, one pointing upward from the bottom of the lamp, the other hanging downward. The rods seem to touch, and the brilliant flame is exactly where they seem to meet. Once a day a man comes around with a bag of the rods. He takes out the old rods that were burned the night before, and places a new set in each lamp. After he has gone about, as if he were putting new wicks into the lamps, and each is ready for its night's work, all the lamps are lighted in broad day, to see that every one is in proper trim. They are allowed to burn until the men have walked about in the streets and looked at each lamp. If all are burning well, they are put out till it begins to grow dark. If one fails to burn properly, a man goes to that lamp to see what is the matter. The rods are made of a curious black sub­ stance, like charcoal, that is called car­ bon. When the lamp is out the two rods touch each other. In order to light the lamp, they are pulled apart; and if you look at the flame through a smoked glass, you will see that the rods do not quite touch. There is a small space between their points, and this space is filled with fire. Look at the rods, or the copper wires that extend along the streets. They have no light, no heat, no sound. The wires are cold, dark, and silent. If we were to push the two rods in the lamp close together, the light and heat would disappear, and the curious, hissing sound would stop. Why is this? Let us go to the woods near some brook, and it may be that we can understand this matter. Here is the brook, flowing quietly along, smooth, deep, and without a rip­ ple. We walk beside the stream, and oome to a plaoe where there are high rocks, and steep, stony banks. Here the channel is very narrow, and the water is no longer smooth and silent. It boils and foams between the rocks. There are eddies and whirlpools, and at last we come to the narrowest part of all. Here the once dark and silent water roars and foams in white, stormy rapids. There are sounds and furious leaping and rushing water aud clouds of spray. What is the matter ? Wliy is the smooth, dark water so white with rage, so impet­ uous, so full of soundB and turmoil? The rocks are the cause. The way is narrow and deep. The Waters are hem­ med in, and there is a/grand display of flashing white foam ana roaring water­ falls, as the waters snaggle to get past the narrow place. It iB the same with the electricity flow­ ing through the large copper wires. It passes down one wire into the other, through the lamp, in silence aud dark­ ness, so long as the rods touch and the path is dear. When the rods in the lamp are pulled apart, there is a place to be got over, an obstruction, like rocks in the bed of the brook. The electricity, like the water, struggles to get over the hindrauce in its path, and it grows white- hot with anger, and flames and hisses as it leaps across the narrow space between the rods. There is another kind of electric lamp, used in houses; it has a smaller and softer light, steady, white, and very beautiful. In these lamps, also, we have some­ thing like the narrow place in the brook. They are made with slender loops of carbou, inclosed in glass globes. The electricity, flowiug silently throbgh a dark wire, enters the lamp, and finds only a narrow thread on which it can travel to reach the home going wire, and, in its struggle to get past, it heats the tiny thread of carbon to whiteness. Like a live coal, this slender thread gives us a mild, soft light, as long as the current flows. ^ It seems calm and still, but it is enduring the same fury of the electricity j that is shown in the larger lamps. j This is the main idea on which these ' lamps are made : A stream of electricity ! is set flowing from a dynamo-electric i machine through a wire until it meets a narrow place or break in the wire. Then it seeks to get past the obstruction, and there is a grand putting forth of energy, and in this way the electric force, al­ though itself invisible, is made known to our eyes by a beautiful light. --Charles Barnard in St. Nicholas.

A PERSON was injured on a boat from an accident, and the Captain took him for treatment to the family physician, but he was absent, and then he took him to the office of another physician who was also absent. He left him, however, at the latter's office with instructions to Lave every necessary attention given to him, and to have him ready to return in the boat on that d&y. The physician sued the Captain for his services, Barry vs. Pnsey, and recovered. The Captain appealed, and the Kentucky Court of Appeals, in March, affirmed the judg­ ment. Judge Prior, in the opinion, said : " The person injured occupied no tuch relation by blood or employ­ ment to the Captain as would create an implied promise to pay, but he brought, him to the surgeon to have his wound examined and dressed by him, and this wound had been caused by some negli- S>nce of those in charge of the boat, aving carried the young man to the office of the surgeon, the Captain left instructions to have him attended to so that he might return on the evening boat. This was done, and the surgeon should be paid, and upon the facte of this case the jury had the right to say that the employment was made by the Captain."--Brad street's Journal. THE authorities of a city imposed a fine upon A for violation of a city ordin­ ance in refusing to fill up certain sinks on his property after they were declared to be nuisances, and recovered a judg­ ment for the amount of the fine. A ap- Saled in this case--The Mayor, etc., of onroe vs. Gerspach--and the Supreme Court of Louisiana, in June, affirmed the judgment. Judge Levy, in the opinion, said: We think the right exists in the Council of a municipal corporation to determine what in its nature and use it deems a nuissnce, and to direct its re- removal or 'discontinuance, under the penalties which it is by legislative au­ thority authorized to impose or inflict. The power to abate nuisance is a por- . tion of police authority necessarily vest­ ed iiv the corporations of all populous towns. The question of nuisance or no nuisance is always a question of fact in relation to which the opinion of individ- nolo Tvrjil nflo^HCQriiv differ, Xt tlisrsfors becomes necessary in all populous towns t} regulate such matters by police or­ dinances ; and public policy requires that the corporation of the place should not be disturbed in the exercise of their powers unless they have clearly trans­ cended their authority. MILLERS who were engaged in manu­ facturing flour, mixing for the purpose red and white wheat, and who had wheat in store for the purpose, and who were receiving wheat in store for others and issuing warehouse receipts therefor, applied to a bank for a loan, and were allowed the loan on condition of their giving a warehouse receipt for 18,000 bushels of wheat as security. They gave the receipt accordingly, stating therein that they had received in store 18,000 bushels of No. 1 white winter wheat and No. 2 red wheat, the same or an equivalent in flour to be held by the bank as security for the payment of a note of 820,000. The millers subse­ quently failed in business, having put a fraudulent mortgagee in possession, and the bank replevied from him such wheat as was found in store--3,000 bushels No. 1 white winter--and took flour manu­ factured from wheat in store for the re­ mainder. Upon these facts the Supreme Court of Michigan held: First, that a warehouse could make a valid pledge of grain in store by issuing a warehouse receipt therefor, without the ceremony of making actual delivery of the grain. Second, that the pledge in this case was not invalid because of its specifying two kinds of wheat, but that the pledge was entitled to take an equal amount of each kind. Third, that, not finding the requisite amount of wheat, the bank might legally take an equivalent from the flour, as they did. The Care of Our Eyes. When so much is being said and written every day concerning the im­ proved methods of illuminating, the fol­ lowing observations on "The Care of Our Eyes," by Prof. Thompson, in Our Continent, will be interesting: " To care for our eyes is to be aware that any symptoms of fatigue or pain may be due to mechanical causes which may lead to change of form or structure, and which should be corrected by the use of glasses selected with the greatest care, to obviate any individual peculiar­ ities of form either congenital or ac­ quired, and to be used even in child­ hood. No prolonged near work should be done in a light, either natural or ar­ tificial, which is felt to be too feeble, nor in badly ventilated or closed rooms. "Since fatigue is usually due to the strain upon the muscular apparatus, and as this is greater in proportion to the nearness of the work to the eye, care should be used to avoid bending over or placing the head nearer to the work than is requisite for clear vision. " The early use of glasses for persons passing beyond middle life, and their increase in power as may be needed is strongly advised. "The avoidance of all irritation, gases, smoke or dust, which are felt to produce pain, and the suspension of near work when it gives it3 danger sig­ nal of fatigue are self-evident. "Assuming the fact now admitted, that the most educated nations present the highest average of diseased eyes, and that the cause and effect are now clearly perceived in the overtasking of the visual apparatus during the educa­ tional period of life, it becomes requi­ site to consider how instruction may lie as efficiently transmitted to the brain through the organs of hearing as by those of vision."

HEALTH At this season the health • needs carefu 1 attention. The blood being weakened and the system run down, dan­ gerous disease is liable to secure a hold that cannot be easily removed. What at first appears to be but slight indisposition,often de­ velops into troubles that may be incurable. At this season the livec becomes inactive, the com­ plexion sallow, pimples ap­ pear on the skin, dyspepsia and indigestion affect the digestive organs, &c. What is needed is a com­ plete, reliable and strength­ ening tonic. Such a medi­ cine is BROWN'S IRON BITTERS, which, by its great strength­ ening powers, diffuses new life in the blood, revitalizes the whole system, giving tone to the stomach, muscles and nerves, effectually relieving all weakness and tendency to lassitude. BROWN'S IRON BITTERS IF a true tonic which has been thoroughly tried, is made by a reliable firm, and has the hearty endorsement of the medical profession. It will cure dyspepsia, indi­ gestion, and malaria, and relieve all wasting diseases, Such as consumption and kidney affections. As a medicine for those diseases peculiar to women it is without a rival. For sale by all druggists and dealers in medicine. ONE DOLLAR A BOTTLE. THE New Combination for A«ente! O. C.
