“And will it be,“ said Hope to me,
"That over the snow he‘ll come,
And the beckoning light of your window bright
Will guide him, weary, home?
“Or will it be,“ said Hope to me,
“On a summer‘s eventide,'
When the tender glow of the sunset‘s low,
You shall walk side by side?
“01- will it be.“ said Hope to me,
"When the sky is dull and gray.
And thou downcast, he will come at last
And brighten all the dc}?
“Or will it be,“ said Hope to me,
“You may put my pictures by,
Sam one the best and the faithl'ulcst,
To look at when you die:
“01’ a gleaming sea,“ said Hope to me,
“And a fair shore calm and sweet,
Whore. hearts I wis like thiiic and his
Have never failed to meet.“

"Waiit‘a bit, governor. Not so fast,”
he said, in a lower tone, arresting me by
a gesture as I was turning away. “Don’t

high? You are a rare cool one, I ss'vear,
and fly—there is nothing you are not

—letting alone that it is every one for
himself in this world. Do you rise to
it?”
“NO, I do not rise to it,” I answered
hauglitily, as I drew back from his spir-
ituous breath and leering eyes. He was
more drunk than I had fancied.
“You don't? Think again, mate,” he
said, almost as if he were pleading with
me. “Don’t play it too high.”
“Don’t talk such confounded non-
sense!” I resorted angrily.
He looked at me yet a moment, a
scowl dropping gradually over his face
and not improving it. Then he answered,
“All right, governor! All right! Pleas.
ant dreams! and a pleasant waking at
Carthagenal”
“I have no doubt I shall enjoy both,”
I replied, smarting under his mocking
tone; and added, as his words brought
another matter to my mind, “That is, if
you will have the goodness not to dis-
turb me as you did last night!” He
should not think he had escaped de-
tection.
“It is your turn now,” he replied more
soberly. “I don’t know what you are up
to now. I did not disturb you last night.”
“Some one did! Some one uncom-
monly like you, too.”
“What did he do?” he asked, eyeing
me as though he suspected a trap were
being laid for him.
“I startled him,” I answered irritably,
“or I do not know what he would have
done. As it was he did not do much.
He took some biscuits.” _
“Took some biscuits!” He pretended
that he did not believe me, and he did it
so well that I began to doubt his guilt.
“You must have been dreaming, matc.’

“I could not dream the buscuits away,”
I retortcd. '
That stroke went home. He stood in
silence drawing patterns on the table
with his finger and a puddle of spilled
water. Guilty or innocent, he did not
seem ashamed of himself, but rather
puzzled and perplexed. Once ortwic'e,
without speaking, he glanced cunningly
at me. But whether he wished to see
how I took it, or really suspected me of
feeling him, I could not tell.
“Good night!” I cried impatiently;
and I went to my cabin. I had told him
my mind and that was enough. The
last I saw of him, he was still standing
at the table, drawing patterns on it with
his finger.
I turned in at once, satisfied that

us there woulc ‘bo no repetition
of last night‘s disturbance. In a
pleasant state between waking and
Sleeping Iwas aware of the tramp of
feet overhead as the moorings were let
0. The first slow motion of the engine
was followed by the old familiar swish
and wash of the water sliding by. Then
the ship began to heel over a little. \Ve
had reached the open sea. Aftce: that I
slept.
I awoke suddenly; awoke in the full
possession of my senses. The cabin was
still lit only by the lamp. I guessed
that it was little after midnight; and lay
a while cxccrating the disordered health
which made such an awakening no new
thing. “0 utinam!” I sighed, “that I
had not taken that cup of coffee after
dinner!" My portinantcau too had get
loose. I could hear it Sliding about the
floor, though, as I was lying in the upper
berth, I could not see it. That I would
soon not to rights.
Accordingly I vaulted out after my
usual fashion. But instead of alighting
fairly and squarely on the floor, my bare
thing soft, a good distance short of it,
and I came down smartly on my hands
and knees—to form part of tho queer-est
tableau upon which even a cabin lamp
over shone. There was I, lightly clothed
:in pyjamas, glaring into the eyes of a
dingyfaced man, who was likewise down;
on his hands and knees on‘the floor—
with more than half the breath knocked
out of his body by my descent upon him.
I do not know which was the more
astonished. -
. “Hallo! how do you come here?” 'I
exclaimed, after we had stared at one
another for some seconds.
He raised his hand fiercely. “Hush!”
he whispered; and obeying his word and
gesture I crouched where Iwas, while
he seemed to listen. Then we rose si-
leutly to our feet as by one motion. I
had not time to ~feel afraid, though it
was far from a pretty countenance that
was close to 'mine. Rage and terror
were written too'plainly upon it.
“You are-English?” he said'sullenly.
I said I was. Although I saw that he
had a pistol half concealed behind him,
I somehow felt master of the position.
I-lis fear of being overheard seemed so
much greater than my fear of his pistol,
and it is not easy to do much with a.
pistol without being overheard. “You
are English too, I can see,” I added
bei-zev my breath. “Perhaps you will
kindly tell me what you are doing in my
cabin?” -
“You will not betray me?” he said
irrcsolutely.
“Betray you, my man! If you have
taken nothing of mine,” I replied, with
a prudent remembrance of his weapon
and the late hour of the night. “you mav
go to the deuce for me, so long as you
don’t pay me another visit."
“Taken anything!” he cried, forgetting
his caution, and raising his voice, “do
you take me for a. thief? I willbe bound”
—he went on ,bitterly, yet ‘ with a
pride that seemed to be very pitiable
when I understood it—“that you are
about the only man in Spain who would
not know me- at sight. There,“ a price
upon my head! There are 2,000 pese
for whoever takes me (leader alive
There are bills of me in every town in
Spain! Ay, of me! in every town from
Iran to Malagal”
The wretched braggart! Iknew now
who he was. “You, wire at Cartha-
gena,” I said sternly, ,‘ , ' gel! the old
gray headed general who had died at his
post.
fcct struck against something—some '
mcnt faded quickly from his face, leav-
ing him to appear again what he was, a
man dirty, pallid, half furnished. About
my height, he were also clothes, shabby
and soiled indeed, but like mine in make
and material. In his desperate desire
for sympathy, for communion with some
one, he had already laid aside any fear
of me. When I asked him how he came
to be in my cabin, he told me freely.
“I intended to ship from Valencia to
France, but they watched and searched
all the boats. I crept on board this one
in the night, thinking that as she was
bound for Carthagena she would not be
searched. I was right; they did not
think any one would venture back into
the lion’s jaws.”
“But what will you do when we reach
Carthagena?” I asked.
“Stay on board and, if possible, go
with this ship to Cadiz. From there]
can easily get over to Tangier,” he an-
swerod. ‘
It sounded feasible. “And where have
you been since we left Valencia ” I
asked.
“Behind this sailcloth.” He pointed
to a. long roll of spare canvas which was
stowed away between the floor and the
lower berth. I opened my eyes,
“Ayi” he added with a grimacc, “they
are close quarters, but there is just room
behind there for a man lying on his face.
\Vhat is more, except your two biscuits
I have had nothing to out since the day
before yesterday.
“Then it was you who took the his-
cuits?” I said.
He nodded; then he fell back
against my berth, all his strength
gone out of him. For from be
hind us came another—a more emphatic
answer. “You may take your oathto
that, governor!” it ran; and briskly push.
ing aside the door and curtain, Sleigh,
the engineer, stood before us. “You
may bet upon that, I guess!” he added,
an ugly smile playing about his mouth
and eyes.
The refugce’s face changed to a sickly
white, and his hand toyed feebly with
the pistol, but he did not move. I think
that we both felt we were in the pres-
ence of a stronger mind.
“You had better put that plaything
away,” said Sleigh. He showed no fear,
but I observed that he was watching us
narrowly. “A shot would bring the
ship about your cars, my friend. There
is no call for a long explanation. I took
the governor hero for you, but when he
told me that some one was stealing his
biscuits, I thought I had got the right
pig by the ear, and five minutes outside
this door have made It a certainty.
Two thousand pesetasl Why, hang me
if I should have thought, to look at you,
that you were worth half the money!” he
added, brutally.
The other plucked up spirit at this in-
sult. “Who are you? What do you
want?” he cried, with an attempt at
bravado.
“Precisely. “That do I want?” replied
the engineer, with a sneer. “You are
right to come to business. What do
I _; want? A hundred pounds. That is
my price, mate. Fork it out and
mum is the word. Turn rusty, and”—
Hc did not finish the sentence, but
grasping his neck in both hands, pressed
his thumbs upon his windpipe and
dropped his jaw. It was a. ghastly per
formance. I had seen a garrotc andI
shuddercd.
“You would not give the man up?
Your own countryman ” I cried in her-,
ror.
‘ ‘Would I not?” he answered ruthlessly.
“You will soon see, if he has not got the
cash!"
“A hundred pounds!” moaned the
wretched fellow, whom Sleigh's per-
formance had completely unmanned.
__‘LT Ianwmn .n, - ,w Lag- " i
As it ha’pépcrl‘e'difiz'i‘s, it has aria‘nrsfii
pened so with me l—I had but some three
hundred pesetas, some twelve pounds
odd, about me, nor any hope of a remit
lance nearer than Malaga,‘ whither I was
on my way. Still I did what I could.
“Look here,” I said to Sleigh, “I can
hardly believe that you are in earnest,
but I will do this. I will give you ten
pounds to be silent and let this man take
his chance. It is no good to baggie with
me,” I added, “because I have no more.”
“Ten pounds!” he replied dcrlsively,
“when the police will give me eighty!
I am not such a. foo .”
‘ ‘Better ten pounds as a gift than eighty
pounds of blood money,” I retorted.
“Look here, mister,” he answered
sternly; “do you mind your own busi-
11033 and let us settle ours. I am sorry
for you, mate, that Is a fact, but I can-
not let tlao‘chance pass. If ' ‘b not get
this money some one else will. I’ll tell
you what I will do, though.” As he
paused I breathed again, while the mis-
erable man whose life was in the balance
glanced up with renewed hope. ' “I will
lower my terms,” he went on. “I would
rather get the money honestly myself, I
am free to confess that. If you will out
with two thousand pesetap I willkeep
my mouth shut and give you a helping
hand besides.” . . .
“Ifnot?"I saith 7; 5‘" .>
“If not,” he, answered, "shrugging his
shoulders—and’I noticed that'he laid his
hand on his knife-“if you do not ac-
cept my terms before we are in port at
Carthagena,‘ I go to-thefirst policeman
and tell him who is aboard; Those are
my terms, and r you have until then to
think about them.” ,
With that» he‘ left the cabin, warily,
and with his face to 118 to the last.
Hateful and treacherous as he was—I
loathed him so that I couldscarcely meet
his eyes—I couldnotli’elp admiring his
perfect coolness and courage, and his
quitlllk grasp of the men he had to do
wit . .
For I felt when he was gone that we
were a sorry pair. I suppose that my
companion, badaehis case had seemed
before, had yet cherished strong hopes of
escape. N ow he vvas utterly unmanned.
He sat on the couchyhis elbows on his
knees, his head resting on his hands, the
picture of despair. I The pistol had dis-
appeared into some ‘ ket, and although
capture meant denim judged that he
would let himself be taken without-
striking ablow. ,1 7
My own reflections were far from
being of a. comfortable nature. The
man groveling there before me might
deserve death; knowing the stakes, he
he had gambled and 1031:. ‘Moreover, he
was a complete stranger to me. But he
was an Englishman. He had trusted me.
He had spent—well, an hour, but it
seemed many—in my company, and I
shrank from the horror of seeing him
dragged away to a violent death. My
nature serevolt'ed against it that I for-
got what the consequences to myself
of interference'might be;
“Look here,” I said, after a long inter-
val of silence, "I will do what I,ca.nto
help you. We shall not reach Cartha-
gena until 8 .o’clock at‘aearliest. Some-
thing may turn up before that time. At
the worst I have a scheme, though I set
little store by it, and advise you‘ to do
the same. Put on these clothesin place
of those you‘ wear.” I handed to him a
suit taken from my portmanteau. “Wash
and shove. Take my passport and papers. .
It is just possible that if you play your
part well they may not identify you, and
may arrest me, despite our friend up-
stairs. For myself, once on shore I shall
have no difficulty in provi‘hg‘my inno-
Not that I was without my misgivings.
The Spanish civil guards have the name
of giving but short Sshrift at times, and .
even at the best I might be punished for
connivance at an escape. But to some
extent I trusted to my nationality; and
for the rest, the avidity with which the
hunted wgetch at my side..clutched at
the slender hope my offer held out to
him, drove any last hesitation from my
mind. , .
As long as I live I shall remember the
scene which ensued. ' The gray light was
' " to steal through the port hole,
giving a sicklicr hue to my com-
panion's features, and making my
own trembling fingers, as I helped
h_im to dress, spem t_o myself
-‘1':
strangely wan ‘a'nil th‘i'n. Aheav? odor
from the expiring lamp hung upon the
air. The tumbled bed clothes, the ran-
sacked luggagc, the coats swaying
against the bulkheads to the music of
the creaking timbers, formed and en-
tourage deeply imprinted on the mem-
Ol'y.
About 7 o'clock I procured some cof-
fee and biscuits and a little fruit, and
fed him. Then I gave him my passport
and papers, and charged him to employ
himself naturally about the cabin. My
own plan was to be out of the way,
ashore or elsewhere, when. Sleigh should
spring his mine, and to trust my com-
panion to return my luggage and
papers to my hotel at Malaga, untilI
reached which place I must take my
chance. I may seem tohave been play-
ing a fine and magnanimousrarc, but
looking back now, I do not think that I
believed for amoment that the police
would bedeceived.
A little after 8 o’clock I went on “deck.
to find that the ship was steammg' slow-
ly in between the fortified hills- that
frown upon the harbor of Carthagena;
a harbor so grand and spacious that in
its amphitheatre of watersIfancy all
the navics of the world might lie. For
a time the engineer was notvisible on
deck. The steward had pointed outto
me some ‘of the lions—the deeply em-
bayed arsenal, the distant fort high
perched on a hill, which the muti-
neers had seized, and the gover-
nor's house over the gateway where
the wounded general had died—and we
were within ‘a couple of yards of the
wharf, crowded with idlers and flecked
with scntinels, when Sleigh came up
from below. . ‘
Although the morning was fine and
warm, he was wearing the heavy pea
jacket which I had seen in the engine
room. He cast a spiteful glance at me,
and then, turning away, aflected to busy
himself with other matters. I think
that he was ashamed of the work he had
in hand. Bad as he was, I think so.
“Do we stay here all day?” i asked the
steward. , ,
“No, senor, no. Haste las diez solo.”
I understood him to say. Only until 10
o'clock, and it was close upon 9 already.
He explained that the town Was yet so
much disturbed that business was at a
standstill. The San Miguel would mere-
ly land her passengers by boat and go
on at once to Almeria, where much
cargo awaited her. “Here is the police i
beat coming,” he added.
Then the time had come, too. I was
quivering with excitement—and with
something else—a. new Idea! Darting
from the stew-art’s side, I flew down the
stairs, through the saloon and to my
cabin, the door of which I dragged aside
impatiently. “Give me my passport-
my papers!” I cried, breathless -with
haste, “the police are here!”
The man—he was pretending to pack
with his back to the door, but at my en-
trance rose with an assumption of ease—
drew back. “Why? will you desertme.
too?” he muttered, his face working pite‘
ously. “Will you betray me? Then, my
God! I am lost!” and he flung himself
upon the sofa in a. paroxysnjl of terror. \
Every moment was of priceless value.
This a. conspirator, indeed! I had no
patience with him. “Give them to me!"
I cried imperatively, desperately. “I
have another plan. Do you hear?"
He heard, but he did not believe] me.
He was sure that my courage had failed
me at the last moment. But—andlet
this be written on his side of thenc-
count—he gave me the papers; It may
be in pure generosity, it may be because
he had not the spirit to resist.
Armed with them I ran on deck almost
as quickly as I had descended. I found
the IPOSitiOBWOfycthbwssbnt slightlv
fffli‘ik, an... officer: in "command,
attended by two or three subordi-
nates, was coming up the ladder.
Close to the gangwaly Sleigh was stand-
ing, evidently waiting fer this group.
But he had his eye on the saloon door
also, for I had scarcely emerged from
the latter when he stepped up to me.
“Have you changed you mind, gov-
ernor? Are you going to buy him ofi'?”
he‘muttered, looking askance at me as I
still moved forwardjvvith . him by my
side.
My answer took him by rise. "No,
senor, no I” I exclaimed lou yand re-
peatedly—so loudly that the attention of
the group at the gangway was drawn to-
wards us. When I saw that this was
effected, I stepped hastily in front of
Sleigh, and before he had any clear
notion of what I was do , I was at the
officer's side. “Sir,” I ’ (1, raising my
hat, “do you speak French?”
“Parfaitement, monsieur,” he answer-
ed, politely returning my salute. ’
“I am an Englishman, and I wick to
lay an information,” I said, speakin in
French, and pausing there that I mIght
look at Sleigh. As “and , he
did not understand French. His baffled
and perplexed face assured me of that.
He tried to interrupt me, but the cour-
teous official waved him aside.
“Thismanherewhoistryingtoshutmy
mouth is a. smuggler of foreign watches,”
I resumed rapidly. “Helios them about
him now, and is goingtotake them ashore.
They are in a. number of pockets made
for the purpose in the lining of his co'at..
Iam connected with the‘watch trade,
and myfirm will give ten pounds re-
ward to any one who‘will capture and
prosecute him.” .
“I understand," replied the officer.
And, turning to Sleigh, who, shut out
from the knowledge of what was; going
forward, was fretting find 'fu'ming in a
fever of distrust, he addressed some
words to him. He spoke In Spanish and
quickly, and I could not understand
what he said. That it was to the point,
however, the engineer’s face betrayed.
It fell amazingly on the instant, and he
cast a. vengeful glance at me.
That which followed was ludicrous
enough. My heartwas beating fast, but
I could not suppress a smile as Sleigh,
clasping the threatened coat about him,
backed from the police. He poured out
a torrent of fluent Spanish, and emphati.
cally denied, it was clear, the charge;
but, alasl be cherished the coat—at
which the police were making tentative
dives-—overmuch for an innocent man
with no secret pockets about him.
His “No, senor, no!" his “Per
dies!” and “Madre do Dies!” and
the rest, were breath wasted. At a
sign from the now grim looking officer
two of the policemen deftly seized him,
and in a twinkling, notwithstanding his
resistance, had the thickcoat :off him
and were probing. its recesses. It was
the turn of the bystanders to cry, "Madre
de Dios!” as from pocket u pocket
came watch after watch, un ', five dozen
lay in sparkling rows upbn the deck. I
could see that there were those among
the ship’s company besides the culprit
who gazed at me with little favor, but
the eyes of the police oflicer twinkled
with gratification as each second added
to the rich prize. And that was enough
for me.
Still I knew that all was not done yet,
and I watched keenly what was passing.
Sleigh, taken into custody, had desisted
from his disjointed prayers and oaths. I
perceived, however, that he was telling
a long story, of which I could make
out little more than the word “In-
glese” repeated more than once. It
was his turn now. If he had not un--
derstood my French, neither could
I understand his Spanish. And I no-
ticed that the officer, as the story rolled
on, looked at me doubtfully. I judged
that the crisis had come and Iinterfered.
“llIay I beg to know, sir, what he says?”
I asked courteously.
“He tells me a strange story, Mr. Eng-
lishman," was the answer; and the
speaker eyed me with curiosity but not
unfavorably. “He says that Morrissey,
the villainous Englishman—your pardon
——who was at the bottom of the affair of
last Sunday, has had the temerity to re-
turn to the scene of his crime, and is on
this vesse .”
I shrugged my shoulders. “A strange
story, indeed!" I answered. “But it Is
for 13191181911219 919.1119 ditty: Islam
only Englishman on coin, ‘ae flie’ste‘w-
art] will inform you; .ari’ylfor me, permit
me to hand you my papers. Your pm
oner wishes, no doubt, ‘$° be even with
me!" .
He nodded brusquely‘: as he took the
papers. That upon w I had counted

THE END.
Knew an theft-ales.
A street car going west on Madison
street last Saturday afternoon was loaded
with women returningfrom the matinee.
In one corner of the car a countryman
sat. When the car reached May street
the conductor opened the door and called
“May!” A woman left the car at this
street. When it reached Ann the con-
ductor called that name and another
woman got off. At Elizabeth street he
called out “Elizabeth!" and two women
went out. When he called “Ada!” still
another woman got up and left.
The countryman went out on the plat—
form and said to the conductor:
“Do you know where I want to get
06?"
“I do not.”
“Do you know my name?"
“No, sir; I don’t."
“Do you kndw all the women in
Chicago?” '
“Well, I should say not. Why?"
“Nothin’. I heerd you callin’ them
women that have jist been gittin’ of! by

you was acquainted with all the people

Good Couml.
_How true it is, as The Practical Mc-
nevei‘ finish one thing ’at' a time. “‘Ih'ey'
have a dozen things on hand and no one ‘4
completed. Time is wasted on unfinished
work. Always finish what you begin.
One thing finished is worth a hundred
half done. The completion of an un-
dertaking yields more pleasure and profit
than dozens of plans. The man who is
always planning or scheming is rarely,
if ever, successful. He often furnishes
ideas for others, who go persistently to
work and finish what his ideas suggested.
“That was my idea—my plan," We fre-
quently hear sonic one say, but the man
who carried it out was the one who
benefited himself and others. Do not
begin what you cannot finish. What
you undertake to do, do, and reap the
reward of your own ideas and skill.
This is good advice both in and out of

Very Bad Blood.
Hapsburg blood is bad blood. The de-
scendants of this house, in every genera-
tion since the days of that first Rudolf
who founded the royal dynasty in the
Thirteenth century, have been tyrants
and libertines. They are tainted. Self
restraint is unknown among them. The
traditional heavy jaw of the Hapsburgs
is no more pronodnced and characteris-
tic than are their boisterous passions—
tbe scandal of Iiiiory.
The {truth isthat nothing is worse,
morally, than a' career of unbridled
power. Human nature cannot stand it.
Such despotism unsettles the brain and
sets a madman sporting with the prop-
erty, virtue, lives of millions. Most of
the twelve Caesars were thus insane.

Good Luck to a Bridal Party.
I am very fond of a game at whist. In-
deed, I quite agree with Talleyrand, who
says “the man who doesn’t knew how to play
whist is laying up for himself a very uncom-
fortable old age.” Now it is well known by
those who have studied the law of chances—
for what we call chance has its law as much
as have the stars—that, though the luck may
be all on one side for a. whole evening, yet, if
the same partners should play once or twice
a week for 11-year, the average deals would be
about the same. 'Thus, in a year’s playing,
the luck would‘average itself and be about
the some for both sides. The best players—
as in most games, even that of life—would
come out ahead. Yet I have often played
with people, who, after making blunders
enough to lose the game, would want to
image the cards, or change seats, or get up
and turn their chairs around to “change the
luck." Or they have some peculiar and sup-
posed magical way of shuffling when the play
is against them. But the luckiest thing I
know about cards is attending to your busi-
- ness and having a good partner who will do
the same. There is an element of luck, of
course, but in the long run in spite of all the
spirits supposed to meddle with the hands, it
is good play that wins. '
There is a whole cycle of lunar supersti-
tions that having so far escaped the lunatic
asylnms, are still wandering about the twi-
light of the world. What a mighty difler—
ence it is suppom to make whether the pale,
sweet clement is seen fei; the first time over
the left shoulder, out of the left center of the
left eye, or from the opposite side. Though
whether it is the moon or the eye that is sup-
posed to take vengeance on the unimaginable
fault, I have never discovered. Then there
are those who think the child‘s hair and the
baby’s finger nails must be out only on “the
_ increase of the moon. ” Why the moon should
be so much interested in these purely domes-
tic arrangements I have found it not easy to
understand. One would suppose, as she lives
200,000 miles away, she might let people look
after their own hair as they pleased.
The upsetting of a salt cellar was sufficient;
to upset the equaniinity and destroy the ap-
petite of so great a poet as Byron. And many
are the housewives still to whom the selling
of the tablecloth is the least part of such an
accident. The origin of this is simple were
there time to stop for so much explanation.
Dr. Johnson was never willing to enter a
room left foot first. If he did so by accident
he would go out and crime in a second time.
And all are familiar with his well known
habit of touching with his cane—as scrupu-
lously as though it were a religious ceremony
-—all the posts of thd fences as he passed along
the street.
It was only the other day that I was
telling a scholarly clergyman—mid I was
laughing over the fact—that I had discov-
ered that my children, as soon as they were
born, had been carried up stairs by the
nurse. “IVhy,” said he, "i myself carried
all mine up." With him it was hardly a
superstition; it was only a whim. Yet the
mere whim was powerful enough to make
him obey it. But so common is this that
whatever our future fortune may be I sup-
pose tlio most of us, some time or other,
have had the experience of going "up in the
world.” [wonder what people do who live
in houses of only one story! And, by the
way, I noticed when in Stratiord last sum-
mer that Shakespeare was born in the high-
est room in the house, and so his first move-
ment must have been “down in the world.”
Perhaps that accounts for his never having
written any better plays than “Hamlet" and
“Macbeth!” lam aware that many famous
literary men have lived and written in gar-
rots; but being compelled to “liveso high”
and go up section I have never heard ac-
counted at part of their good fortune.

THAT RUSTY 0L1) HORSESIIOE.
If there were any virtue in horseshocs, the
people ought to be fortunate, for there is one
inulmost every house. They are no longer
needed as a defense against witches, and yet
there are hundreds of people who do not
really believe in them, who still think it is
“just as well to have one," and so be on the
safe side. ‘
A lady on whom I called the other day
said lnughiugly that she thought she should
take hers down, for it didn't seem to do her
any good. The story of the horseshoe would
be lougif I should tell it. To possess real
virtue it must be one that has been cast and
picked up on the highway. The whole myth
itself hasbeen cast of! by ancient Paganism
as it traveled down the dusty highway of the
centuries, and people have picked“: up with
the mystery of its origin clinging about it,
not knowing who forged it or what hurried
horseman left it behind. It “could a tale un-
fold” both weird and strange. But I must
not stop for it just now. How many things
pie thoughtlessly do, the explanation of
which would be an astonishment to them.
It is still a common custom in many parts
of the world to throw an old shoe for good
luck after a departing newly tnnrried couple.
It was a custom in ancient times and among
unlctmrcd people, who could neither prepare
nor give written deeds, on the conclusion of
the sale of a piece of property or land, to take
of! the shoe and give it to the purchaser as a
pledge of pissesion and the ratification of
the bargain. Similar customs still obtain in
the east. Here is doubtless the origin of the
wedding custom. The daughter was the ver-
itable property of the father. Marriage used
to be—und sometimes still is. even with us—
an outright purchase. The man bought.- the
woman, and she became his bride. At first
the father would take ofi' his $1109 and trans-
fer it to the bridegroom as thepledgo of his
purchase. And now that the old meaning is
all forgotten, we stillesuch creatures of habit
and tradition are wel—must fling an old shoe
after the wedding party.
I said it was supposed to be a sign of good
luck. I read of a case the other day where
it turned out to be the contrary. There had
been a wedding of colored people in the
country, After the marriage, as the happy
couple mounted their country wagon to start
for home a zealous and muscular friend of
the groom seized an old brogan to complete
the ancient rite, He was so lucky and vigor-
ous in his aim that tho cowhide bearer of
good wishes struclv the 'dusky bride in the
side of the head and stretched her senseless
on the bottom of the wagon. Then. arose
the bridegroom in his wrath, and when, the
next day, the groom was seen with his arm
in a sling and his best man appeared with an
eye closed and a part of one ear missing,
there were those in the wedding party whose
faith in the good luck of throwing old shoes
was My shuke‘ n.—M. J. Savage in Boston

smiths and Engineers.
These persons who are engaged in out-of-
door occupations, as a rule, breathe a pure
air and have plenty of muscular exercise.
They are usually robust and bravmy, and the
average duration of their lives is long; but,
being exposed to alternations of heat and cold,
to winds. rain and snow, they are liable tc
acute pulmonary afi'ections and rheumatism.
Boatmen and fishermen are quite subject to
chronic bronchial catm'rh. The latter are
said to suffer greatly from panel-is of the
fight index finger, due to the rubbing of the

Farmers and those occupied in agricultural
pursuits are often attacked with entai-rli and
pneumonia; among the elderly and aged ones
chronic rheumatism prevails. The life of an
independent farmer is so free from anxiety
and so healthful in its conditions that if it
were not for tho poorness of food set forth on
most farmer-3’ tables, their lives would be
much longer and more comfortable than they
are. But in most farm houses the diet is very
much restricted, the meat consisting of plenty
,of salt pork. The cooking is bad, so bad that
. dyspepsia is rampant among them. As the
men lead an altogether out of door life, the
eifects of this indigestible stuif appear to af-
fect them less than the female portion, who
work indoors, and being more delicate in
their organization, break down earlier. More
pitiful wrecks of women, by reason of hard
work and poor food, than some of the far-
mers’ wives of New England it would be
hard to find.
mmmmrxsn AND PXEUMONIA.
Drivers of carts, hacks, omnibuses, etc., are
exposed to cold blasts and to the full sweep
of rain, snow and sleet. They are the only
class of laborers who are exposed to the full
effects of the weather and consequently suffer
much from rheumatism and pneumonia.
They are often attacked by facial paralysis.
According to Hamilton the car drivers on
city railroads are great suil’crers from vari-
cose veins of the legs and spinal congestion,
owing to the constant jarring to which they
are subjected. The “red nose" so common
to this class is more often caused by exposure
to the elements than from intemperute habits.
Laborers furnish a large number of deaths
from Bright’s disease and phthisis.
There are occupations in which persons are
exposed to extreme artificial heat, where the
atmosphere of the workroom is necessarily
kept at a high temperature, and where the
ventilation is always poor; for a rapid change
of the air would call for an increased con-
sumption of fuel. Whether the high tem-
perature or the bud air be the cause, it is cer-
tain that those working under these conditions
are generally sickly, and their power of re-
sisting disease is much reduced. Copious
with the low state of their vitality, and the
sudden changes of temperature which they
undergo after leaving off work and going
out doors render them liable to catarrhnl
troubles, both pulmonary and gastric intesti—
nal. They are good subjects for rheumatism
and Bright's disease. '
Briekmakers are generally robust men.
Those who press the clay into molds by hand
suil’er painful crepitation of the tendons at
the wrist. They are also exposed to the
smoke and heat from the lime kilns, which
produce disease.
Bakers and cooks are exposed to extreme
heat, and are nearly always in badly venti-
lated and damp places. The former work at
night, and their pale, puffy faces are very
characteristic. Both are subject to rheuma-
tism and varicose veins. The heat of the fire
and the irritating substances in which they
wprk produce eruptions of the skin on the
hands and arms and ague on the face. Of
the two trades, that of the baker is the most
unhealthy. The hands of bakers are gen-
erally large and powerful because of the
muscular exertion used in kneading dough.
Charcoal burners are exposed to a temper

cause constant muscular exercise tends to
increase the natural vigor of those who
adopt it. But the extreme exertion and ex—
posure to the heat of the forgo, the great-
pcrspiration and sudden changes of tempera-
ture, are many sources of peril to the health;
and it is the universal opinion of writers on
hygiene that they age very quickly. The
light and heat from the rouge. as wel as the
white hot metal, produce many diseases of
the eyes. Blacksmiths are also said to suffer
greatly from headaches and catarrh. The
sudden changes of temperature naturally
produce acute and chronic rheumatism.
Engineers and stokers on railroads. in
steuuwhiw. and attending stationary engines
are also exposed to great heat. Qii steamers,
where their quarters are very small, they are
amost unhealthy class of men. This is es-
pecially true of tho stokers. They are always

Many writers describe a peculiar alt’ectiou
which attacks men who clean out the boilers
of steam engines. They enter by a manhole,
and after a few minutes emerge with red
faces, lips blue, veins swollen, interrupted
respiration and the heart beat barely percep-
tible. There is a peculiar whiteness around
the lips. as it they had been touched with iii-
trato of silver, ‘hey are often sick for days
after their work and stiller greatly. These
workmen are liable to serious accidents from
bursting boilers, breaking shafts, etc.
The men who work at large forges, iron
puddlei's and glass blowers are also exposed
to intense heat. llirt states that iron pud-
dlers work from eight to ten hours in air of a
temperature of 130 degs. Fahr. Such work-
men are constantly pei'spiring profusely and
drink enormous quantities of water to make
up for their less, They are subject to all the
diseases incident to such exposure and sudden
changes of temperature, ’viz.: bronchitic.
pneumonia, rheumatism and diarrhea. , They
also sufier from disease of the eyes, the effect
,of too vivid light; while the heat produce:
many skin eruptions.
Glass blowers take a mass of molten glass
from the furnace on the end of a tube and
blow into it while it is soft. As the lung ca

the tube is [mssed quickly from one to another.
Sometimes the end of the tube is rough, so
the men suffer from cracking of the lips.

to insert quickly into the common tube, but
