My brother-inlet“; Lord John St. Pierre,
regarded with no little complacency his -
own possessions and achievements. He
was proud in the first place of the fact
that he was It St. Pierre, and at the some
time considered himself a. competent rep- E
resentzitive of the talents and graces of the '
ancient and illustrious house of Stoney~:
hurst. in the next place he was very
proud of his reputation as one of the best
shots of driven game in the United King-
dom, of his consequent entree into
many country houses whesb only brilliant
shots were welcomed. He was also proud,
very proud, of his own perfect manners,
and phoned himself, not without cause, on
his insinuating address. It was on his
' reputation. however, as a. snowssful col~
lector of china that he principally piqued 5
himself, and the trifling sums which he
had paid for various articles of vertu which
ornamented his rooms at the Albany
formed h is favorite theme of conversation.
Indeed if all he said was true, and if all
the china was really genuine, he fully dc-
served all the congratulations which he-
claimed.
Nor did he fail to see how valuable were I
the three first mentioned qualifications in l
their reference to this letter pursuit. Many

did how unfavorable the bugs even on my ,
best days compared with the slaughter to ‘
which John was accustomed. I had had
some E..esita.tion in inviting him into
such 2&1 out of the way part of the world.
He ‘zéztl heard, however, of the wonder- ,
l'ul stun '=. at l-Instlield coppicc, said to be;
perhup. ; he most dillipult sporting in Eng- ,
land, :10. was anxious to try his hand at E
our "2. ..Lers.” I had no possible objco
Lion, :Lml he was invited for three days';
shooting.
A so”. and mysterious calamity, however, *
in connection with the death of one of the
heaters happened the first day, and the un-
happy incident prevented us from curry-
ing out the Week’s programme.
Guests who have no resources to occupy
them when sport fails are naturally diffi-
cult to entertain, and consequently I was
not altogether sorry when my visitors,
with the exception of Lord John, decided
upon taking their departure the morning
which succeeded the catastrophe.
He, however, remained, and in the
course of the afternoon announced his in-
tention of going up to the keeper’s house,
where he had lunched the previous day,
and of course I offered to walk there With
him. Rather to my surprise he seemed to
have no particular desire for myi'society,
and I began to wonder if his projected
lod
who
.A. l
visit had any connection with the mys- .
terious affair to which I have already 31-,
luded. At any rate I determined to ac
company him, and on the way I was made
a. confidant of his lordship’s intentions.
On the previous day he had noticed two
china figures on the keeper’s chimney
piece, and though, with ,a connoisseur’s
natural suspicion, he had at the time done
nothing to attract general attention to
them, he now confessed that he had every
reason to believe that they were old Dres
den. He imagined them to be of great
value and had determined to pick them up
as cheaply as he could. I have never quite
been able to make up my mind about the
morality of such a proceeding, but I thor .
oughly disliked the idea of any one “pick-
ing” up a. valuable article “cheap” from.
one of my own retainers, and, as it were,
under my own sanction. However, Ide-

And then at last, with a look at the two

“Oh, by the bye, Mrs. Hawkins” (John al-
ways managed to get his victims’ names
correctly), “What are those chino groups?
Have you had them long?“
“That chine, my lord, was a. present
from my grandmother, and I set great
store by it.“
. (I elmily follow my motherin'law’s (31- l

“Mrs. Rawlins' grandmother.

“Have you any fancy to part wit
them?“ he continued.’ “I don‘t suppose
they are Worth much, but I should likes
little remembrance of lflmmouthshire
and of our pleasant lunch here yesterdny.“
“Oh, my lord, if it wasn’t for Rowlins I
. should be glad to give them to your lord~
, ship, or (with a. glance at me) any gentle-
man staying at the court.”
{I wonder what his lordShip would have
said if I had not been present. )

“YVell. my lord, I doubt if my grand»
: mother, if she’d hn’ been alive, ivouldhnve
liked the idea of my selling her presents.”
Lord John‘s wuntenenco fell.
“(’Iei-tuinly,” uddul Mrs. Rowling “she
wasn't too proud to se.~ her own. Why,

half so guy as these from a traveling ped—
‘ alley; One was just a. black woman with a.
3 head on like an elephant, and the other a 2
women, too, but she and her children were
feeding a. swan. ”
(Lord John’s face cxpn’ssed: “I was
right; they are old Dresden! The woman
with an elephant's head! The group which
represents Africa: The woman and chil-
dren feeding a. swan! Leda and attendant
Cnpids! And these are two of the compan-
ion groups. Worth fifteen gnlneas each
any day at Christie’s”)
“Then in that case,” he went on, “Isholl
be glad to give you £5 for the pair."
“Well, my lord, I should not liketo take
your lordship’s money without askingthe

these are real genuine. He got, Ihéard,
twenty guineas for what he took from
grandmother. She was housekeeper-”bit
(to me), as you have heard tell, at‘the
Duke of Belfort’s." (I had heard midr-
cumstance mentioned once or twice béfbre
and was acquainted with the reputation of
the Belfort collection of china.)
Lord John turned quite pale.
“Oh, my good woman," he cried, “I’ll
give you £10 and take my chanm,” and he
immediately handed Mrs. Bawlins the
money, which he had ready for such an
emergency, and which she promptly pock-
eted.
“Shall I dust them first, my lord?” she
asked-producing as she did so a heavy,
damp towel.
fFor hefiii‘en’s sake, wp-men, no. (Now
the hqrgain was struck there was no need
of further civility.) I’ll take them with
me just as they are. Georve, you won’t
mind carrying one, will you?’
I did mind carrying one very much. I
disliked the whole transact-ion. John had
certainly paid it considerablesumof money,
but even with my imperfect acquaintance
l with such matters I knew that if these
groups were genuine they were worth fully
thirty guineas the pair. I had my suspi—
cions, however, about them, and on our
way home I asked my companion how he
could feel so ohwlutely certain about their
genuineness. "There is no Dresden mark,”
I said.
“Oh, isn’t there?” was the reply. “Don’t
you see there is a smear of cement on the
bottomof them? That was probably put
there at the time there was a. heavy to: on
Dresden china and proves their antiquity.
I will show you the crossed swords under-
neath to-night.”
I held my tongue.
Our house party, as I have said, had
broken up, but several of the neighbors
were coming to dine, and Lord John. de-
ferred the removal of the cement till after
dinner, when we should be all together in
the drawing room, and he would have an
audience sufficiently large and appreci-
ntive.
The proper moment arrived; upenknife
was produced, and the plaster carefully
and ceremoniously scraped off. But in-
stead of the crossed swords appeared the
following inscription:
.x rcxrssxr FROM NEWPORT, 1883.
The your previous to the bargain!
When new these groups might have been
worth eighteen pence each. In their pres—
ent condition they would have been dear
at a shilling a pair.
I confess that I felt little sympathy with
the purchaser, but I was distressed to think
that Mrs. Rawlins, whose character for
honesty had been irreproachable, should
have seemed to vouch for the antiquity of
the china, and also to have hidden the bell
tale inscription.
Her answer was simple. The ornaments
had been given her as a birthday present
by her grandmother, who had died onl a
few weeks before the bargain at the pe
age of 98, and the cement had been added
with the object of making them stand
steadily on the mantel piece.
But there was a. twinkle in Mrs. Raw-
lins’ eye when she offered me this explana-
tion, and even now I» hardly know how far
innocent was her share in Lord John’s bar-
gain.——Belgravia.
Smokeless Powder.
So far perfection has not been reached
with any of the smokeless powders. They
do not keep well and have a. tendency to
absorb moisture, the result being a change
in the rate of burning and consequent
pressure in the gun. In the course of ex.
perimentlng, however, marvelous results
are: being obtained. In France a; powder
for Small arms has been discovered which
behaves in exactly the reverse manner
frOm ordinary rifle powder, the pressure
being, greater at the-muzzle of the rifle than
at the ‘breech, and velocities-of- over 4,000
feet per second have been obtained 'with

The Electric blotor Has Experienced

The advance made by electxical science
and application during the last few years
h'esbeen so phenomenal that it is hard to

attempt is made to follow ' the develop-
ments in any particular branch that an
approximate idea of its mighty progress
as a Whole and its for leacldng and ever
widening influence in the industrial world
can he arrived "at.
From an investigation of one fieldnlone,
that of the electric motor, it at once be
comes apparent that a revolution of limit-
less extent is being edected in industry
and manufacture. There can be [lo-doubt
that the e ectric motor is the most simple

snow-m or mncrmo ucnrqo,
From 1880 up to 18$? electrical engineers
2mg contractors had given their attention
" Inly to the installation of electric light-
ing plants, in American towns and cities,
with the "result that there were some 1,200
central stations in operation supfilying the
are light or the incandescent gbt, and
sometimes both. A great many of those
statkms paid well from the start, but it
was soon found that the 113 business
was after an a limited one-that _ it gguld
only be carried on during the hours (g
darkness, so that a valuable plant often hiy
idle sixteen or eighteen hours out of the
twenty-four. Yet the current which such
a plant could generate would lend ,itsclf as
readilyto driving an electric motor-ash)
furnishing light in a lam" , and gnome
circuit thctconveyed it to t e lbm'p‘s Would
also convey it to the motors.
It was this fact that . w 8 mt stimu-
l to the electric m for ingimtry about
t " years ago, and led to the perfecting
of what had (heretofore been a Very crude
and cumbemome piece of mechanism. As
is now very generally known, the electric
motor has but onemoving part, the revolv—
ing armature, and by means of a. pulley
placed at the end of the armature shaft its
power can be applied to any piece of app..-
ratus or machinery known to the arts.
But up to 1886 nearly all the electric motors
had been badly designed and poorly built,
and the current that should have been con-
verted into power was simply wasted in
developing heat, so that' the machines rap-v
idly burnt out and Otherwise became fuse—
less, and wore altogether too expensive to
run.
SAVING IX morons.
At the present time, however, there are
several electric motors in the market‘of
excellent design and workmanship for
which as high an efficiency as over 90 per
cent. is claimed, and there can be no doubt
that the rate of efficiency in the smaller
sizes as well as in the larger is the highest
that has yet been attained by any piece of
power transmission machinery. Thus an
electric motor of one-hulf or one-quarter
horse power will easily show as high an
efficiency as that of another sort of motor
of ten or fifteen horse power, yet nobody
dreams of expecting a gas engine or a
steam engine of one-quarter or one-half.
horse power to give anything but a small
return upon the fuel applied to it.
Moreover, with the electric motor an
enormous advantage has been the fact that
when it has been installed and connections
have been made with the circuits connect—
ing it with the central station, it is practi-
cally ready that minute for work. All that
is necessary is the turning of a switch and
the current is instantaneously there. ‘With
the steam engine, even when the steam is
taken from the steam mains in the street,
considerable attendance is necessary, and
in the vast majority of instances the steam
has to be manufactured on the spot, so that
boilers are necessary, involving the attend-
ance of an expert eng'neer, the supply of
water and coal and the removal of ashes.
Such steam plants also occupy consider-
able space and throw off no small amount
of heat.
The idea, however, with the electric mo—
tor is to concentrate in a central station
all the inconvenience connected with the
generation of steam and to transmit. the
energy in the form of current, so that all
the user has to do is to draw off the supply
as he wants it, justas he would do in turn-
in g a. top to procure a supply of. water.
TIIE moron IN NEW YORK.
New York city, to go no further, fur-
nishes many interesting examples of the
manner in which electric motors have been
applied to. a variety of uses. \Vherever the
circuits puss they. are topped , for power
purposes, . and thus the central station,
which furnishes ,currcnt'ct night for light: _

“When we were looking at the blames
in California,” said Phineas in a. chuckling
way, “we came to one that was blg’ger'tfiiln
any of the others. A pious lady in 6311‘
party, Mrs. Pearce—she used to live in
Chicago—wanted it measured. “She was
the most accurate women I ever knew.
Her word was gospel. Her husband was
Deacon Pearce. Mrs. Pearce took a spool
of cotton from her reticule and said to her
husband: ‘Put your thumb on one end of
this cord and hold it While I walk around
the tme with the spool and umeel the

measurement. so as to be able to show our
friends the size without exciting their
credulity.’
“I always tried to be gallant, so. Ilsaidto
Mm. Pearce I would walk around the tree
for her, taking the spool of cotton and
measuring as I went.
“' ‘No, sir,’ she replied, ‘I don’t want any
of your humbuggery in this measurement.
I mm to get it accurate. I know you too
well.’
“She made the Y retirement, broke off
the string and wra. pod it carefully about
her first and sccon fingers, put it into her
reticule and said, There, when I unroll
that and show it to our friends they Will

' me.
“'W'e started back to the hotel to see our
friends. IVhen we got there Mrs. Pearce
legato telling of the great trees. Then she
took a little bundle of twine out of her ret-
icule and told them she would show them
the measurement she had taken herself.
The deacon was given one end of the string
and told to walk until he had gone its
length. He started around the room,
which was a. large one. When he reached
the door Mrs. Pearce was still giving out
string. He walked out of the door, out
upon the lawn and down the road until he
gave out.
“The people looked on with amazement.
They had such a high regard for the verao
ity of the deaccu’s wife they didn’t say
anything. When the deacon stopped to
mothiswlfestill had about mo yards of
string in hem- hand. She looked at me, but
I never betrayed any emotion. I think she
thought I had stolen her measurement
from the reticuln and put in my own.
She never was es genial after that. And
her veracity in the community wasn’t what
it had been. And they say I am a. hum-
bug,” chuckled the old'man as he walked

A Dry Ringer“.
It seems almost incredible that at one
time in its history the greatest and most.
wonderful waterfall in the world actually
ran dry. Nevertheless it is an established
fact that this moaned on March 29, 1848.
and for a few hours scarcely any water
passed over Niagara falls.
To thoroughly appreciate this astonish-
ing phenomenon it should be remembered
that the estimated average amount of
water passing over these falls is 502,500 tons
per minute.
The winter of that year had been an ex-
ceptionally severe one, and ice of unusual
thickness had formed on Lake Erie. The
warm spring rains loosened this congealed
mass, and on the day in question a. brisk
east wind drove, the ice far up into the lake.
About sunset the 'wind ~Sudden1y veered
around “and blew a heavy gale from the
west. This naturally turned the ice in its
course, and bringing it down to the mouth
of Niagara river piled it up in a. solid, im—
penetrable wull~
So closely was it packed and so great was
its force that in a short time the outlet to
the lake was completely choked up, and
little or no “peer could possibly escape. In
a very short space of time the water below
this frozen barrier passed over the falls,
and the next morning the people residing
in the neighborhood were treated to a most
extrmrdinnry spectacle.
The roaring, tumbling rapids above the
falls were almost obliterated, and nothing
but the cold black rocks were. visible in all
directions. The news quickly spread and
crowds of spectators flocked to View the
scene. the banks on each side of the river
being lined with people during the whole
day. At last there came a. break in the
ice, it was released from its restraint, the

and hlagnre was itself again—Golden
Employer and Clerk Lunch.
A large, elderly and fine looking man
with a black silk carp on his head entered a
restaurant on the top floor of the Mills
building a. few days ago, and seating him-
self in a quiet corner ordered a plate of
cold chicken, some bread and butter and a
glass of milk. This was his midday lunch-
eon, and he seemed to cnjoyit. At another
table, a. few feet away, sat a young man
dressed with ascrupulous regard for the
latest fasldom. He was enjoying a much
more elaborate meal than his elderly neigh-
bor. Little Neck clams, spring lamb with
green peas, lobster salad, 3 pint of cham-
pagne and. a choice Perfecto were necessa’ry
to his personal comfort, and he disposed of
them all with a nonchalance that bespoke
familiarity with that style of living. And
there certainly was nothing out of the way
in his manner of indulging his appetite. He
paid for what he got with money honestly
earned. He holds a responsible clerkship
in C. P. Huntington’s employ, and Mr.

The
ing a Cigar Between the Lips—The Finer
Sensations of the Habit Described.
Almost all men smoke with their eyes,
though few of them know it. They doant
light the cigar with thelreyes, though ofté'n
poems refer to eyes, usually some girl’s,
as brightenough for that purpose; but the
real enjoyment of smoking comes through
the eyes and the touch. It seems to be
commonly thought that the senses of taste
and smell are these which are most affected
Hy tobo _' l, and those Which alone make a
man (mfg; tobacco, but this is not correct.
f cOurse a. man may mete a. cigar, just as
he may taste a. piece of leather or a. piece of

wood, but, unless he chews, the taste of , ration after (:cnerafion have used and blessed it.
tobacco is no more pleasing than the taste
of lcnther or wood; rather, on the con-
trary, it is sickening. Then men think
they can tell about cigars from their odor,
but in reality they tell about them from
their appearance and their feel.
There are many men who hold a. cigar in
their mrmths and roll it around without
smoking it. Some of them bite it and
others chew it, but the number who hold
it between their teeth or roll it around be
tween their lips is greater. That is usually
the way with an old smoker. W’hon the
cigar is lighted he has a. certain particular
place for it, and certain teeth between
which the cigar rests. With some men it
is front teeth, with others the incisors, and
some men shift their cigars away back.
DELIGHTS or A Dnv SMOKE.
It is seldom that two men hold their
cigars in their mouths in just the same
way and at the same angle. There are as
many ways and angles of holding cigars as
them are men who smoke them.
There is where a. great deal of the satis-
faction of smoking comes in. The nerves
of touch of the lips are as keen and sensi-
tive as those of any part of the body; there
is no hard cuticle to dull them. The lips are
full of sensitive blood vessels and sensitive
nerves. They curve, arch, straighten, be—
come hard, are drawn, and conform to
every emotion of the mind and to every
thought. Most smokers have mobile lips.
The hard mouthed man seldom becomes a.
victim of the smoking habit. He may
smoke occasionally because others do, or
he may chew, but he misses one of the
_ 5t enjoyments of a cigar. These
blood vessels and these nerves in the lips
are near the brain. The contact of the
cigar with them goes at once to the brain.
That feeling and the sight of the smoke
are soothing; it is not the taste and the
smell. '
One of the greatest differences between
good and poor cigars is in the wrapper. It
is the wrapper which comes in contact
with the lips. A good wrapper is soft—
softer than velvet or down; it is like flossy
silk. It does not feel this way to the palm l
of the hand nor when clinched tightly be-
tween the llps, but when held between the
teeth the lips touch it and caress it like an
imprinted kiss.
VALUE OF SIGHT.
To a greater extent does smoking appeal
to the eyes. Try to smoke in a dark room
and the enjoyment at once decreases, and

it is hard to tell the difference between a ,
good and a bad cigar. It is hard even for l
a. man who is accustomed to smoking to i
tell Whether his cigar is lit or not except ,'
by looking at the coal on the end. If the 3
man keeps his eyes closed and does not see '
the coal it is easy to deceive him. This
would not apply to a man who had never
smoked before, but to a man who is accus—
tomed to smoking—and to such alone are
the joys of the smoker. A sight of the
smoke and the cigar is neCessary. It is the
smoke and the glow which appeal to the
eye; the contrast between the different
shades of brown in the cigar, the cherry of
the burning tobacco and the grayish ash,
with the thinner gray of the smoke, chang—
ing into various shades of blue and gray as
it goes through the air—it is these that i
make the visions, the quiet, and the placid- '
ity which are the charms of smoking. '
The fact that a cigar appeals both to the
touch and sight accounts for the difference
in the sensation of smoking a pipe, a. cigar
and a cigarettee. The touch of the three 2
is different.
the pipe and in the cigar which is in the 5
cigarette, but it does not smoke the same
way, and it does not have the same effect on
the smoker. There is not the same feeling
to the lips, and there is not the appeal to
the touch nerves. Both the sight and the
touch of a. cigarette are so different that it
cannot be considered with a. pipe or a.
cigar.
There are several lessons to be learned
from these facts about smoking which are
clear to every one as soon as he thinks
about them, but which most smokers have
not thought about, as they go on enjoying
their habit Without reflecting about the
reasons for the enjoyment. One of them
is that acigar should bechosen and‘smoked
in a. deliberate, thoughtful and philosophi-
cal way.
THE CHOICE OF A CIGAR.
A cigar is more than a. brown roll of to-
bacco simply, as that it may bring profit
to the dealer and enjoyment to the eye
through its symmetry and Color, but its
force is potential,,...1t .has to-gbe burned to

A smoker should always look at the cigar
first. . Cigar dealers have2 appealed to this
in arrnnging their. boxes .open in ' glass
cases. So far as thefactory, the size, shape,
quality, price, brand, color and grade go,
boxes: Theywonld also keep better that
way. A smokershould l'opkyover the case;
he should look over cigar after cigar until
some particular cigar appeals to him. It
isthe same way with a'box. No two cigars
are alike. There is a little [speck or spot
