What Game of It.
[Concluded]
And henceforth the three Miss Tafferels
took the baron under their especial charge.
Other young ladies staying at the hotel could
hardly get near him. They sat by him at
dinner, Dolly being displaced—Lydia tC-day,
Rose to-morrow, Julia the next day. They
surrounded him in the day—time ; they talked
to him under the light of the moon. Twice
over they got him to take them for a sail.
One thing they did not yet succeed in——gcf—
ting. him to dance. When the quadrilles
and waltzes were going on at night, the baron
would be out of doors with that objectiona-
ble tutor, who was over middle age and wore
spectacles. The Miss Tafferels did not like
the learned fmen at all. What right had
musty old scholars to be at a gay watering-
place?
Another whe_did not much frequent the
dancing-room was Dolly; but this was no
fault of hers. Miss Hamlet disapproved of
indiscriminate dancing, as she did of indis-
criminate flirting ; and Dolly was only al.
lowed to sit by and look on. “Your papa
Would not approve of it, any more than I do,
my dear,” said ~Miss Hamlet,evening by even-
ing, to Dolly.
The baron accepted the patronage of the
Miss Taerrels calmly, giving as much atten-
tion to one sister as to fanother. Being the
Baron do Fierreville (unless Miss Hamlet’s
doubts were true), and a very good-looking
and agreeable man, the chances were that
he was no stranger to the homage of the la-
dies.
Thus a week wore on. Miss Hamlet,
finding her nieces did not keep the baron at
a respectful distance, in spite of her advice,
washed her hands of them for giddy, silly
girls, and rather hoped that some fine
morning, upon getting up, it would be found
that the baron had disappeared during the
night, as well as the hotel forks and spoons.
1!: would teach them what foreigners were
worth.
“You, Dolly, will at any rate obey me,”
Miss Hamlet said, “and keep yourself out of
the way of that Frenchman.” But' Dolly
had no need of the injunction. She felt so
ashamed of the way her relatives set upon
upon him, that she never willingly went
within range of his sight, putting aside the
fact that the Miss Tafferels took care she
should not go.
' Some days went on. One morning, when
the sun was pouring down on the beach, the
three girls stood there, hoping for the pres-
ence of the baron. Presently he loomed into
view, side by side with that silent, uninter—
esting, spectaclcd tutor.
“Is it not hot, baron?” exclaimed Lydia.
“Very,” replied the baron. “It will be
broiling by-md-by.”
“But you say you don’t care for the heat,
you know,” put in Rose. “You say you like
it.”
“I like hot weather ; it is nearly sure to be
sunny weather. Sometimes it is too hot for
me. We now and then get quite tropical
heat here,just a few days of it; not every
summer, though.” _
“We had some of it last year; I remember,”
said Julia. “It was in June."
“I remember it, too,” he slowly replied, his
eyes taking a thoughtful look over the sea.
“We were in Switzerland. It was hot; we
could hardly bear it.”
“You say ‘we,’ baron,” commentedMiss
Lydia. ‘ Are you speaking of your mother?"
“Oh, no. Of my wife.”
“Your—wife ‘2” repeated Lydia, in a
kind of choking tone. “Did you say your
wife .9” .
“Yes,” he answered, turning to her. “My
poor mother died long before that."
- Now I will leave the intelligent reader to
judge of the effect this avowal had on the
baron’s fair hearers. Hewent strolling down
the beach with the tutor, and the three young
ladies made their comments.
“What a shameful thing!”
“To be staying here under» false preten-
ces l”
“Aunt Charlotte is right. These foreigners
are nearly all of them pretenders.”
“He has come cruising off in that yacht
from Dieppe to amuse himself, leaving his
poor wife to the solitude of the chateau!
And he flirts here and flirts there, never
giving the smallest hint that he is a married
man—suppressing; it, in fact. Oh, it is infa-
mous l" -
“Stay a ,moment, Lydia. Don’t you re-
member he said one day Lhe was alone at
home; that the chateau contained only two
or three old servants '2”
“It is all of a piece," retorted Lydia.
“He is starring it here under false colors.
And if his wife is not left to the home so!-
itude, she is fstarring it somewhere upon her
own account, take my word for that. Small
blame to her, as Mrs. O'Mallcy says. Serves
him right! Well, I do hatc2aud despise (le—
liberate deceit! A special pillory ought to
be invented for it.”
The young ladies went indoors. In a tacit
sort of way they united to hide their morti-
fication, and to say nothing of the discovery.
Let some of the other girls'gct taken in ! As
if to reward theirpnagnanimity, a Iroop‘of
fresh male guests arrived that. day at the ho-
tel, two of them looking particularly eligible ;
so the baron was left in peace by the Miss
Tafferels.
The following morning. when they had
gone for a drive with their aunt, Dolly took
her knitting and sat down under the awning
on the beach. It was alovely day, not quite
so hot as yesterday; the sun shone on the
sands, but it was tempered by a breeze that
blew over the sea. Children were playing
about, young men and women strolled by the
rocks, picking up shells and seaweed. Out
at sea, a few white sails glittered in the sun ;
a distant steamer passed smoothly along,
seeming ~to touch the horizon. A dainty
yacht was making towards the little landing
place ; some fishingsmaeks :were putting
out. It was a charming picture of life at the
sea-shore; a life which is healthy because
it is pleasant, and pleasant in that it is lazy.
"Oh, how delightful it is!” breathed Dolly
aloud, when she had gazed long at the scene.
“If I could but see it always! If we did but
live near the sea !”
“Sometimes the sea is gloomy and rough,”
said a voice at her elbow. “How would you
like it then, Miss Krane if”
He came into view from behind the awn—
ings and sat down, the Baron de Fierreville,
startling Dolly. She had seen him go off by
an omnibus after breakfast, and did not know
he was back again.
“I think I should like it always,” she an-
swered,with deprecation. "Rough or smooth,
the sea must be always beautiful. We cannot
have fair weather every day, and must take
the bad with the good.”
‘-Ay; that’s philosophy. flow is it that
you have run away from me of late ?”
Dolly blushed to the tips of her busy fin-
gers. “I have a good deal to do for Aunt
Hamlet ; she wants me to read to her, and to
give her my arm when she walks,” answered
Dolly.
“Where are your cousins this morning '2”
“’I‘hcy are gone°out for a drive with my
aunt.“
“Was there not room for you P”
“Not any," said Dolly. "I should have
made five. It would have crushed their new
cambric dresses.”
Dolly’s dress this morning was a simple
cotton with pretty blue sprigs upon it. The
baron sat in silence for a few moments look-
ing at her, so unpretending, so fresh and fair,
with her clear, pleasant face shaded by its
beautiful hair.
“Do you like your cousins 2’” he asked.
“Oh, very much. They are truly kind,
and they give me a great many things, Did
you notice—but of course you did not. How
foolish I am I”
“Now please tell me what you were going
to say. Miss Krane. Did I notice what?”
Dolly blushed again. “You must forgive
me; I spoke without thought. ‘It was only
whether you happened to notice a new silk
dress I came down to dinner in yesterday.
Julia gave it to me, It was hers, and she
said I might alter it for myself, for people
must be tired of seeing me .in the grey.
Oh, they are very kind, very nice; you would
like them better and better the more you
knew of them ‘2”
“They are rich, I suppose ?”
“Well, yes; ricb, at least, as compared
with me. Aunt Charlotte says they are giddy
and talk too much," added Dolly, hoping to
offer an excuse for the young ladies behavior
to her bearer. “But they will remedy that,
you know, as they get older."
The baron laughed. “You young ladies
don't put old heads on your shoulders yet
awhile, do you, Miss Krane? Why, I suppose
you are not more than nineteen ?"
“Dolly looked up in surprise. “I am twen-
ty-two.” "
He suppressed a smile.
“Is your father a clergyman ?" he asked
after a pause.
“Yes. He is the rector of Stagbrook.”
“The ReverendAbel Krane ?”
“Yes,” repeated Dolly, wondering.
“I thought it might be so; the name
Krane, is not a very common one, you see.
I believe I know him. Rather more than a
year ago he was doing duty in Switzerland.
I was staying there, and made acquaintance
with him. ”
“It is quite true!” said Dolly, her face
beaming with delight. “Papa had nearly
broken down with the home work, and
somebody kindly got him a Chaplaincy
abroad for a month, and he went there with
mamma. And I am sure now that I have
heard him mention you. I thought the
name was familiar to my ears. How glad I
am i"
Dolly,could not have defined why she was
glad: partly, perhaps, at meeting some one
who knew her father ; partly at the convic—
tion this brought her that Miss Hamlet’s
doubts were without foundation, that the
baron was what he appeared to be.
I‘And now you will no longer be afraid of
me, or look upon me as a:five-tailed bashaw,"
quch be smiling.
Dolly blushed hotly. “Did you see much
of [ apa ?-——did you like him ?"
“I liked him, indeed; but I did not see
much of him. I was at the place but a week
or ten days.”
“Halloa, De Fierreville ! Won’t you come
for a sail? It’s a glorious day for it.”
The interruption was made by some of the
gentlemen staying at the hotel. The baron
rose, said good-morning 'to Dolly, and went
to them.
Dolly found herself quite at liberty now
te stroll out when she would, and to talk to
the baron, if he chose to talk to her; her
cousins no longer interfered to prevent it.
Very often indeed, when she was sitting on
the beach, or'under the rocks, or strolling on
the sands to pick shells for the young ones at
home, did he join her; and somehow Dolly
grew to love the meetings.
One evening at sunset a yacht put in. Its
owner, Captain Close, came to the hotel and
found his friend the baron. After dinner,
when Miss Hamlet was sitting out of doors
in the soft twilight, a decoy white shawl on
her shoulders, Captain Close, throwing away
the end of his cigar, chanced to sit down in
the next chair.
“You are not with the dancers, sir,” said
Miss Hamlet. wishing to be sociable.
“Not to-night, ma’am. The young ladies
might hardly-care to dance with-a man in a
rough pilot jacket. I only came up to find
De Fierreville, and did not put myself ship-
shape." ‘
All in a moment it struck Miss Hamlet
that she could not do better than question this
sailor, with the frank speech and honest,
weather-beaten face, about the baron. And
she did so.
"Is be what he passes for, would you ask?”
repeated Captain Close, in much surprise,
when he had listened. “He is George, Baron
de Fierreville just as surely as that Iam
Richard Close, commander in her Majesty’s
navy—for I am notgcaptain yet, worse luck,
though people give me the title on shore.
Why, what else did you take him for,
ma'am ?”
Miss Hamlet made a few apologies, ex-
plaining a little that cautious people did not,
as a rule, put absolute trust in herons and
counts, when they were unknown ;‘ that such
gentlemen lived by their wits; and she
wound up by asking whether the baron in
question was poor. '
“That‘s as may be; peoples' notions on
riches differ, you know, ma’am,” said the
sailor. “The Fierreville estates bring in two
thousand pounds clear yearly; and that’s an
uncommon good income for France, though
it might not be thought much of here at home.
Added to that, there was a great deal of
money that had accumulated between the late
baron’s death and this one’s coming of age,
which is placed as I chance to know, in good
securities. Oh, yes, he is well off ; wish I
had half as much.”
“You appear to know him well, sir.”
“I do ma’am; have known him ever since
he was in petticoats. There was some dis-
tant relationship between my people and his
late mother, who was a Close before she mar-
ried; though I‘ll be shot if I know what it
was; and I’ve often‘ stayed at Chateau Fier-
reville. It's a fine place.”
All this was genuine truth ; and Miss Ham-
let, wishiug to be just, informed her three
nieces, before going to bed, that she found
she had misjudged the baron, who was a real
baron and not an adventurer.
The young ladies threw their heads into
the air.” “All the same,” they said to one
another, “he is doing Bridgewater under
abominably false colors.”
Early the next morning Captain Close‘s
yacht went. out, carrying the baron with it.
And he had never condescended to take leave
of anybody ! Just the manners that might be
expected of him 1” exclaimed Lydia.
Dolly was pacing the terrace in the twi-
light, feeling very down at heart, for which
she could not at all account, the others being
in the dancing-room, when she saw the-baron
approach from the beach. At first she was
not sure but it might be his ghost; and
what with that, or something else, every ,
pulse she possessed began to beat at fever-
heat.
“I thought you had left,” she said limidly.
“Surely not! We have been out for a
day‘s sail, Close wants to carry me of! to
morrow for good,” he‘added, “but I tell him
I am not ready.”
Dolly looked up at the stars, just making
their appearance in the sky. She had noth-
ing to say in answer. He had turned to walk
by her side.
“How much longer will your party be
staying here, do you suppose, Miss Krane ?”
"'Only two or three days,” sighed Dolly.
“We have been here nearly four weeks.”
“Shall you be sorry to leave ?"
“0h, very. For some things," added Dolly
quickly—“the sea, and the holiday life. But
Ishall be very glad to go home again. I
cannot think what my mother has done with-
out me.”
“What will she do without you—later ?"
“Later !” echoed Dolly, not understand-
ing.
“When you marry]!
Hot blushes dyed her cheeks. “That will
never be," she answered, when she could
speak quietly, “I am not likely to marry.”
“Do you think not? Why 1’”
“I do not suppose anybody will ask me.”
“But why, not, Miss Dolly? Come please
tell me.”
“For one thing, there is not anybody in
Stagbrook who would be in the least likely
to—I can’t remember one—not that I have
thought about it—or—at all suitable," stam-
mercd Dolly, obedient, as usual, but wishing
he would not ,say things to confuse her.
“And for another thing——" She came to a
standstill. _
“Well, what is the other thing 1”
“I mean that I have not any money: not
Dolly, in trembling accents.
.Come l Why,” laughing, as she still hesitated,
any at all. You must pardon me saying these
things. I don't care to speak of them—if you
willplease not to question me.”
He laughed a little. “How would you like
to live in France?” he asked. “In a large
and pleasant house not far from the sea~—
which can be seen from its windows."
The tone he spoke in was very peculiar
—curiously tender; and,Dolly blushed hotly.
“I—I must go in,” she said. “Aunt Char-
lotte will be angry with me." -
' But the baron did not let her go. He caught
her hand as she was turning, and stood hold-
ing it in his. "
‘Why do you want to run away from me,
Miss Dolly? Do you now that I left Close
and the yacht on purpose to come to you!
Let me tell you a little about Ibis house in
France."
Four or live young men loomed on the
terrace, smoking their cigars. Seeing the
baron, they called to him, and Dolly escaped
in doors.
“Come back, has he ?" commented Miss
Lydia Tafferel. “He might have stayed
away, for all the ornament he is here, or the
good he does us.”
"My dear, don't be severe,” reproved
Aunt Charlotte. “As one time you seemed
all three of you to think the baron was an
angel, if I may apply the word to a young
man. Latterly you have been almost rude to
him.”
“Well, aunt, and with cause. Here he
came, flourishing amidst us, never saying
who he was or what he was; passing himself
off for a bachelor—"
“Stay a moment,Lydia. You talk too fast.
How did he ‘pass himself ofI’ for a bachelor ?
I suppose you mean that you girls took. up the
notion that he was one P"
“Anyway, he did not say he was a married
'man," tired Lydia. “He ought to have let
it be known that he was. It was a piece of
audacious deceit.”
“Is he married '1’”
“He is. He began talking to us the other
day about his wife.” _
“And pray, my (fears, what possible dif-
ference can it make to you whether he is
married or not ?" demanded Aunt Charlotte,
looking at them over her-spectacles. “You
would not, not any one of you, think of a:
French baron for yourselves, I expect—not
even you, Lydia."
“Of course not !" retorted Lydia, with
emphasis. “You don't understand things,
Aunt Charlotte. The world is becoming too
much advanced for you.”
“I think its young people are,” retorted
Aunt Charlotte; 31! she said no more. But
Dollfilistening to this from a distant corner,
turned as white as a sheet. Her dream was
over.
So that she was not very much pleased
when she saw the baron coming towards her
the following afternoon. Dolly had her full
share of good sense, as of proper pride, and
she knew that the Baron de Fierreville, a
married man, had nogspoken to herfilike a
gentleman the previous evening on the ter-
race; no, nor at one or two other times.
Miss Hamlet and the girls were gone for a
drive again. Dolly did not often get a chance
of going; and she took the zigzag, circuitous
path to a seat in the middle of the rocks—a
solitary place, rarely invaded by the visitors.
But the baron must have watched her, for
presently she saw him climbing up perpen-
dicularly. Fright put other things out of her
head.
“Oh, pray, pray do not try to come up that
way!" she cried out in an agony, expecting
every moment to. see him fall backwards.
“ Oh,.why will you do it i"
But he gained the ledge and the seat with-
out mishap. There were rocks near his own
home, and he had climbed them from achild.
“ Did you fear for me 1” he asked in a low
sweet tone.
Dolly was very pale.
ardous thing to do,”she answered.
it still.”
“But I wanted to come to you. I want
to tell you about my home in France—we
were interrupted by those men last night.
Do you think you should feel altogether un-
happy if I asked you to come and live in it
with me, Miss Dolly?"
Dolly put her work into its little basket,
and rose from her seat to depart. “Baron
de Fierreville,” she stayed to say, her very
lips becoming whiter. “ will you allow me to
ask what your wife would think of this,
could she hear you? ”
“But she can’t hear me," said the baron,
staring. '
Dolly burst into tears of agitation. “Be
so good as to let me pass, sir. I took you for
a gentleman ; I did indeed; and you told
me you knew and esteemed my father! " .
“But what do you mean?” he asked, in
astonishment. “ How Can I have offended
you ? "
“ It is all very bad—on your part,” retorted
“ To excuse
yourself by saying to my face that your wife
cannot hear you is worst of all.”
“ Why, how can she hear 1” persisted the
baron. “ The Roman Catholics believe that
the saints dud angels hear our prayers; I am
not sure but we Protestants do. If my poor
wife could hear every word I have ever said
to you, she would rejoice rather than be sad.
Nearly the 'last words she breathed to me
contained a hope that I should find another
wife to love me as she had loved.”
It was now Dolly's turn to stare,as she took
in what this implied. “ Is your wife dead P ”-
she faltered.
“ She will have been dead a year on the
thirtieth of this month," said the baron.
“ Did you not know she was dead? " ,
“ No," gasped Dolly, “ I heard last night
that she was living. Please forgive me for
showing anger.” '
He drew her back to the seat beside him,
put his ' arm around her waist, perhaps
by way of support, and let-her have her cry
out; .
“ Your father and mother could have told
you, my dear, that when they saw my wife
with me in Switzerland she was nearly in the
last stage of consumption. All hope of re-
covery was then over. And, Dolly, I feel
sure they like me; I think they will not
mind your coming home to the chateau.”
For the first time that evening the baron
appeared in the dancing room. He approach-
ed Dolly sitting nearly behind the window-
curtain. “You will give me a dance," he
whispered. '
“I do not know what Aunt Charlotte,
would say," breathed Dolly in answer.
" I will make peace with Aunt Charlotte.
“I thought it a haz;
“ I think.
“a short while, and you will have to obey
me of right. Remember that, my darling.”
Nobody could believe their eyes. The
baron in the room at last, treading a measure
with Dolly Krane! With Dolly Krane, of
all people! The measure was a waltz, and
Dolly’s pretty white skirts. for she had put
on her best robe that evening, floated about ~
her as she moved round in the baron’s arms,
and her eyes were cast down timidly, and
her facewas blushing.
Miss Hamlet had never been so much sur-
prised in all her life as she was that evening,
when, being alone in the little card-room,she
found the Baron de Fierreville, bowing deep:
ly before her, a. la mode Francoise, telling her
that Dolly had promised to be his wife; and
that when she, Miss Hamlet, left Bridgcwa-
fer with the young ladies the next day but
one, he should beg permission to accompany
them on his way to Stagbrook rectory, to ex-
plain matters to the Reverend Mr. Krane
and his wife, and to ask them to part with
Dolly.
“ A French baron! ” gasped Miss Hamlet
to her nieces, when they got into the privacy
of her own room. “ Oh dear! I said I did
not know what would come of it."
“ The young ladies turned all manner of
colorgand made their comments on the baron
with characteristic freedom.
“Not married! ” thevvshrieked in chorus.
“ A widower! His wife been dead a year!
——why, then, did be lead people to suppose
she was not dead ill-to speak of her as he
'once did to us, as living P 011, what a wicked
maul—an accomplished decelver! We wish

PARENTS BE CAREFUL.
Domestic accidents are common to women. and
some of them are very serious. Mrs. Warner, of
So.Rondout, Ulster 00., N. Y., some weeks ago
attempted to take from her child a pair of shears
With which it was playing. A slight struggle on-
sued. in which the point of the shears entered
Mrs. Warner’s left eye, entirely destroying the
sight. Her family phsician did what he could,
but intensely painful inflammation arose, which,
by sympathy, threatened the loss of the other
eye. Total blindness to a woman having thé care
of a. houshold is an irretricvablc calamity. In
this strait Mrs. W. applied to the well-known
and skillful surgeon, Dr. David Kennedy, of Ron-
dout; N.Y., who removed the injured cye bya
very successful operation, setting aside all dan-
ger of further harm to the sight of the other eye.
But owing to pain and mental distress, her sys-
tem needed a tonic,a restorative medicine. To
do this work the Doctor prescribed “Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy,” which sustained its reputa-
tion and laid a. sure foundation of health.
Dr. Kennedy’s "Favorite Remedy” rc-
movcs all impurities from the blood, regulates
the Liver and Kidneys. Cures Constipation, and
. all disease and weaknesses peculiar to Females.

SCIENTIFIC NISCELLANY.
Many coffee-drinkers have undoubtedly
been disturbed by the widely-published
theories of Dr. Bock, of Leipsic, who pro-
nounces coffee and tea to be the chief causes
of nervousness and peevishness so common
in our time. Upon this point, however,
doctors disagree, and we find Dr. Henry
Segur arguing that the effects of them bev-
erages are far from injuriou's, As a medical
agent he believes coffee to be of great value,
while its use promotes digestion, and other-
wise exerts a healthful influence upon the
system. To confirm this belief he points to
the fact that habitual coffee-drinkers are
generally healthy, and live to a good old
age.
'Balloonisls have a unique method of taking
“soundings" to learn their distance from the
earth when traveling in the air at night. A
loud shout is given and the seconds are
counted until the echo from the ground is
heard. From the time required for the re-
turn of the sound it is easy to compute the
height of the balloon.
A Russian meant offers the novel but ab-
surd hypothesis that ball is of cosmical or-
igin, and is captured by our world in its
journey through space in the same way that
meteorites are attracted to this planet.
A new celluloid, made by treating potatoes
with sulphuric acid, is said to make pipes
equal to mcersehaum, and is employed for
that purpose in France. Under heavy pres-
sure the material becomes so hard that bill-
iard balls may be manufactured from‘it.
A captive balloon is to be used at the Paris
Observatory for making meteorological ob-
servations at a height cf a a mile and a half
above the surface of the earth.
In arecent address,Dr. Siemens commend-
ed the open fire-place for its sanitary ad-
vantages. Unlike radiating stovcs, it warms
the walls and furniture of a room more than
the air. If the air within a room is hotter
than the walls moisture condenses on the
latter causing mildew and fermentation,with
resulting liability to disease on“ the part of
the occupants of the rooms.
A curious application of electricity is now
employed in the Spanish army. Conscripts
wishing to escape military service have, it
seems, often resorted to the trick of bending
the body while being measured so as to bring
their statue below the limit prescribed for
the service. To prevent fraud of this kind
is the object of the new device. When the
man is standing perfectly erect the backs of
the legs at the knees press against electric
contacts, causing two bells to ring ; while a
third bell is similarly rung by pressure of
the head. For a correct measurement the
three bells should ring simultaneously. The
ringing ceases when there is the least bend—
ing.
When a drop of nitric acid is allowed to.
remain a few moments upon the surface of a
metal, filed until bright and clean. a pale
asby-gray spot is left if the metal is wrought
iron, 3. brownish black if steel, a deep black
if iron. The carbon present in various pro-
portions produces the differenee in colar.
This is therefore considered a sure test.
The curious phenomenon of phospho-
rescent ice, observed in the Arctic regions,
has been described by Mr. J. Allen. When-
ever the observer saw a lump of ice shattered
at night by the vessel carrying him, be
perceived a peculiar light emitted by the
frozen fragments. The light is very like that
produced by breaking a piece of sugar in the
dark.
Mr. E. E. Fish has noticed that many
birds seem to possess powers of ventrilo-
quism. From a distance of a few feet, the
cuckoo makes its voice appear to come from
afurlong away; singing on a low branch,
the thrush seems to be in the tree-top; the
vesper-sparrow and the field-sparrow are
apparently in a distant field, although really
on a neighboring fence. The robin and
the cat-bird are :endowed with a similar
power; and the oven-bird, singing at a dis-
tance, almost causes the listener to believe it
to be within reach, by its sharp, ringing
notes.
The ancients had theories to account for
earthquakes—and very curious they become
in the light of modern investigation. Anax-
agoras, the Rhodian, saw in them a sort of
cosmic flatulence—winds which had strayed
into caverns having no outlets. Aristotle
believed them to be due to the infiltration of
water through arocky sea-bottom, producing
vapors. Pliny ascribed them to thenpressure
of air confined in deep caves, reacting
against the collapse of ovenlying rock.strata;
while St. Thomas, of Aquinas, most ingen-
iously explained that earthquakes may arise
from the struggles of defunct misbelievers
trying to escape from a pit of torment.
The Editor and theShoemaker.
One day an editor, hard at work trying to
devise a plan to make delinquent subscribers
pay their dues, was called upon by a shoe-
maker, who dropped in to give the editor '
some valuable hints on running a newspaper.
The editor. overjoyed at the opportunity,
gave the man his best cane-bottom chair,
handed him a fresh cigar, and listened atten-
tively. Quoth the shoemaker, as be lit the
weed ; “ Your paper needs a hundred im-
proved features. You don’t grasp‘the topics
of the day by the right handle: you don’t set
the locals in the right kind of type; your *
telegraph news is too thin; even the paper
itself is poorly manufactured, not thick .
enough, and too chalky a while. You don’t
run enough matter, and what you do run
ain’t of the right sort. Your ideas about pro-
tective tarifi are infernally foolish, and your
stand on the Conkling matter was bad, bad. _
Itell you these things because I want you
to succeed. I tell you as a friend. I don ’t ,
take your paper myself, but I see it once in .
a while, and as a paper is a public affair, I
suppose I have as good a right to criticize as
anybody. If a man wants to give me advice
I let him; I’m glad to have him, in fact.
“ That’s exactly it,” said the editor kindly;
“I always had a dim idea of my shortcomings
but never had them so clearly and convinc-
ingly set forth as by. you. It is impossible to
express my gratitude for the trouble you
have taken not only to find out these facts,
but to point them out also. Some people
knowing all these things, perhaps, nearly as
well as you, are mean enough to keep them
to themselves. Your suggestions come in a
most appropriate time; I have wanted some-
body to lean on, as it were, for some weeks.
Keep your eye on the paper, and when you
see a weak Spot come up.” '
The shoemaker left, happy to know that
his snggesticns had been received with such
a Christian spirit. Next day, just as he was
finishing a boot, the editor came in, and, pick-
ing up the mate, remarked:
“ I want to tell you how that boot strikes
me. In the first place, the leather is poor;
the stiches in the sole are too wide apart, and
in the uppers too near the edge. Those up-
pers will go to pieces in two weeks. It’s all
wrong, my friend, putting poor leather in the
heels and smoothing it over with grease and
lampblack. Everybody complains of your
boots; they don't last ; the legs are too short,
the toes are too narrow, and the instep is too
high. How you can have the gall to charge
twelve dollars for such boots beats mel'Now
I tell you this as a friend, because 1 like to
see you succeed. Of course, I don’t know
any more about shoemaking than you do
about a newspaper, but still I lake an inter-
est in you because you are so well-disposed
In fact—” .
Here the exasperated cobbler grabbed a
lapstone,and the editor gained’ the street,
followed by old knives, pincers, hammers and
DWIS, sent after him by the wrathfnl cobbler,
who on regéining his seat, swore by the nine
gods that no impertinent, lop-cared idiot
should ever come around trying to teach him
his trade—Carson (Nee) Appeal.
