There was a curious proceeding on ~the
7th of April. The coinniunards had con—
ceived a great hatrcd for the ~guillotine
(and for 2.34.»...1 rtasonl. it was dcnoniir
natcd nu infamous instrument of monaix
chicaldomination.“ aitd the t‘otnmunc.
therefore. in order to ctnpliasilc lls hatred
for that instrument. decreed that one
should be set tipund burned before the
statue of Voltaire in the lilcvcntli arroti—
dissentent, .and this was made the oeca.
sion ofn great ceremony. The guillotine
was brought out and surrounded with
huge pieces of wood and other coinbusli
ble material. The order was given to
" born this guillotine "for the purification
of the ttrrtitttlisscineiit and for the prescr»
vation of the new liberty.“ This piecc
of fmilcry and absurdity attracted great
altention. _.~\ vast crowd assembled to
witness the spectacle. which was hon-
ored by the presence of a battalion of the
National Guard. There was a large
crowd of men. women. and children.
‘ ““‘uu were very brave. ‘ and shook their
fists at the instrument which inspired iii
them so much hatred. .\t the proper
time the tire was eouununicatwl and huge
flames broke forth; and soon there was:
nothing but a heap of glowing ashes,‘
which the crowd looked upon witlt joy
and sent up ttiany huuas.

The last trial of the *steam wagon. un‘
dcr the supervision of Stiyt‘l‘ilitclnlcllt
Williams. was more satisfactory than any
trial yet made. ' lt hauled thirty tons in
eight days, but titan expenseof $23 more
than home power. The principal ditlienlty
seems to be in the horse power of the cn~
giuc. In sandy nlaccs the wagon ducs‘
not make as good time as on a good. hard-
gradc road. although the tire of the
wheels covers the broad expanse of club! .

small. space of what tl'fourshorse team
could. It does not convey a sutlieicncy
of water for steam. and as a consequence
it has to be.) supplied with water hauled
Jo various points on its route. \V lily these
imperfections overcome. it is anticipated

‘ turned for his watch. ll‘ontaine in person
waited on him. and noticed the massive
Signet ring worn by. his customer. the
onyx monogram of \vhich'scetned cracked.
Mr. Barton threw down a tlt‘tyalollat‘ bill
with atLindilTert-ut air. and gathered up
the change without aplwaring to take
count of it. He hooked the golden loop
; of his heavy chain into its buttonhole. rc~
' stored the watch to his pocket with an
air of satisfaction. and turned away.
“I see that your Signet is broken,“ said
Reginald Fontainc. respectfully. .
“A little.“ replied Mr. Barton. drawn
ing on his flecce~lined glove. .
“I am now taking., orders for sigucts.
Should you wish to have the stone re-
placed at any time. I can have it du-
plicated with precision at reasonable
cost.“
The visitor bowed as he pulled on his
other glove. and replied:
“It is an heirloom in my family.and was
icrackcd a century ago. Nothing could
replace it.“
“In that case, of course not," rejoined
Fontaine. He drew from 3 drawer in
ringhay. “If you are interested in rings,
examine these. I have some odd forms

“'hen Jean awoke, twilight filled the
room with fantastic shadows. and rays
from the street lamps fell flickering on the
walls. . -
He knew he was in aplacc he had seen
before, but all was so uuwontcd. and the
languor that lay upon him was so deli-
cious and enchanting. that he felt sure he
was in a dream from which he hated to
awaken.
Even the loud knocking at the door
failed to rouse him to nullity, and when
he heard his brother‘s voice crying out in
alarm: “ Jean! Jean!“ it only stirred his
wrath, as if summoned at an unwelcome
hour.
. Then followed silence. and he sat. mar-
veling at the luxurious surroundings. and
the mystery of his presence here.
The turning of a key was followed by
the quickrntmnce of the hotel clerk and
Reginald Fontainc. The jewelcr‘darted
forward to his brother and clasped his
am; he looked into his dilated eyes and
bewildered face, and cried:
“Jean! Jean! \Vhat, is the matter?
Where is the. locket?“
,. The locket! Jean sprang up. His
lethargy departed. He understood, and
totterinw toward his brother, fell sense~
[m at his feet.

Ten days later the French salesman re-
appeared. In vain Re ‘ old Fontaine re-
counted these facts on urged delay until
the swinde was upmnd and the locket
recovered. The 5 Frenchman only
» who
‘m- n-‘ctl
shru and listened. and at the end re
peat : “Settlement!” .
Fontainc atlast drown check for the
amount of his indebtedness, and the
Frenchman disappeared. '
Time passed. No tnice was found of 2
Barton nor his lovely wife. One day. in
New York. Reginald visited the Rogues‘
Gallery at Police lleadquartcts. He saw ,
many faces there not in the collection of .
his home officials—among these. F. F. 1
Barton. and the French salesman who;
liadl euiiiinissioned the locket! '
Although the police could not explain
this coincidenceand scuttled his conclun
sions. Fontaitie always believed himself
the victim of a double conspiracy: that
the knavcs traveled the globe with ample
(ulpitul. Om‘ placing jewels stolen alnuad
in the hands of responsible dealers in
small American towns. the other follow-
ing to recapture the prim-s. and the
original cotispimtor returning to demand ,
payment for the loss.
But while he ncvct‘ placed hand or ,
“3““ "gain upon the French salesman. he y
had the satisfaction of adding hits testi- ‘
molly to the. ‘ catalogue of cvidcncc
against Mr. Barton at a later day, and of
St‘t‘ffl‘j: him consigned to prison. The
\‘crsaillcs Locket. however. never reap-
peared. but Mr. Reginald Fontaiue con~ l
chided that his. exprrient‘t‘ was worth the. ‘
twotlioiisand the hundred dollars which 1

it cost him. He deals no more with un< 4

does he trust valuable

A Powerful Explosive.

the Roumaniau Government to suspend

one of the very strongest fortresses in
Europe is unable to withstand the force

How to Polish (‘ows' Horns.
First boil the horn to remove the pith.
if it has been freshly taken from the aui~
nial: but if it. is an old. dry born the pith
may be dried out, and boiling is not
necessary; but it may be laid in hot water
for zi'short time to make it; soft. Then
scrape off all the roughness with a coarse
file, a knife, or a piece of loss. When
thorough spots are remov rub around
the born with coarse sandpaper, then
with a finer kind. After this, rub the
horn lengthwise with a flannel cloth
which he been dipped in powdered
pumice stone or rotten stone, and moist-
enoed in linseed oil. This rubbing should
continue till all the mndpnpet marks are
removed, then give a. final rubbing with a

The Great Pension Buildln'g.
The interior of the great hall of the
pension building will soon be finished.
The immense stretch of wall has nearly
all been plastered. and some idea can be
formed of what the completed half will
Whatever difference of opin-
ion there may be as to the merits of the
outside of the building. it will no doubt
be generally admitted that this hall is a
grand room. In point of site it is larger.
with one exception. than any audience
room in this country. and iii point of
cipicity stands about fourth in the
list ufthelarge interiors of the world.
The great Mormon talwrnaclc in Salt
Lake City is said to have the largest
capacity of any building in this country.
It will seat about 15.000 people.
Gen. .\leig_rs. the architect of the pen-
sion building. says that the hall in the
pension building and the galleries sur-
rounding it have a seating capacity of
ll.ll07Vnicn. The hall itself is 316 feet
long and l 16 feet wide. while it has two
ties of galleries extending all around it.
which are 1?. feet in width. A third
gallery. which encircles the hall. has a
width of 5 feet. Gen. Mcigs savs he has
estimated that 30.000 peuple .can find
standing room in this great space. St.
Peter‘s Church. Rome. which is the
largest structure in the world, will. in
the same way. hold 54.000 people. while
the Milan Cathedral will accommodate
37,000; St. Paul‘s Rome. 22.000, and
St. Paul‘s London. 24..000 Gen. Meigs
says he has no doubt that the principal
portion of the iaaugmtion exercises will
in the futruc be held in this hall, as well
as public funerals and other exercises
which attract large gatherings of the
people. —- “fishing?“ Star.
