t CENTS WORTH OF RAISINS." BY MABY P. AhfftS.
Ellen Doty was silting on one of the re-
vnlvfnc atnola in a drv-food store in a
Weatam ailhwe of some importanoe. She
i dressed in black not the conventional
black aeen every day and in all places Dut
in Ong which speaks mutely of a recent loss, and kept the crape veil closely over
her lace while making selections, uio
evident chagrin of the too susceptible cierK
who attended to her orders.
"A cent's worth of raisins if yon please,
airr" came in a child 8 voice irom iuruier
hack.
The ladv had been aware of a mnrmured
nnnTAmatian at a desk, lost a little distance
from the place where she was seated, and
now a voice. thrUUnclv familiar, said:
"Wo do not keep raisins here, little one,
botl will show you where to and them.
Have yon only 1 penny?"
'That is all, and I fonnded it on me
sidewalk. Yon see, I was just going to
Annt Sara's when I see'd it; and jnst as
soon as X picked' it op I thought I'd bny some raisins to carry to cousin Caddy,
'cause she's been awful afofft and then she's
blind, too, and couldn't see any money if
she should find it as I did."
"Oh! that is how it is? How yon give
me the penny, and I will change ltfor a
dime, vbich will buy more raisins. "
Ike little woman looked questJonmgly
Mn his fane and asked, doubtingly, "will
that be right?"

the errand boy, "lead this child to Mutchin s
and see that she gets her raisins!"
"Yes, sir." and he took the little one s
hand and accompanied her to a grocers
across the street
'Say, 8yd, is that the way 30a usually
treat customers?" Ellen heard his com
pardon ask.
No. only babies; and, more especially,
irl babies. But come in here and I will
tell yea,'' and he led the way to his private
offiee-
Tnen Ellen Doty gathered up her parcels
and with a wildly-beating heart passed out
on to the street.
The two young men weie old college
friends, and had jnst met for the first time

lighted cigars, and Sydney Smith, the host.

"'It is no matter, now,' she said more sntiy, as she kept along in the same

she attended school in the same building

"And yon shall! You walk on, slowly,

"I ran up a cross street, and into a shop

Ellen ventured to hide a little plot, to learn
if she was quite forgotten by her school
bov lover.
As she figured in most of the scenes, she i
begged her aunt's permission to remain a j stranger until the acting was over. The j
last one was this:
A room in a grocery store; Ellen, her j
figure shortened try kneeling behind some boxes, rind wearing a schoolgirl's hat and
duster, books in, one hand and the other
reaching forth an old-fashioned penny to a scornfnl-visaged shopkeeper, who hold a half-stripped bunch of raisins toward her; two uncouth boys grinning and smirking and one pointing at the penny.
"A cent's worth of raisins," murmured
a voice among the guests.
The curtain went down for the last time,
and many wonclered why the last scene was the least striking! But ono knew, or hoped he did, and he it was who had so readily given the solution. And as soon
as he could make his way to Mm. Julson
he asked:
"Will you please toll me who planned that last tableau?" "Certainly. It was my niece, Miss Doty. Her uncle has just gone for her to be introduced to our guests. I am looking for them at auy moment." "Can I see her for five minutes before she is introduced?" "You! an entire stranger to her?" "Not a stranger to me, hut an old schoolmate, if she is Miss Ellen Doty from Massachusetts." "Yes, but " "Pardon me, but yon will allow me to see her alone? I cannot meet her in this crowd!"
Mrs. Edson dearly loved a romance, and ae this looked a little like one, she wrote a
line and had it conveyed to her husband. It met him on his way to the drawing-
room, whither he was duly escorting his
niece. "This is an order for a countermarch,' he said in a vexed tone to his companion. "What is wronpt now?"
"Blamed if I know," he replied, drop-
nine into his favorite westernismin his
amazement. But he fancied that he knew as ho wit
nessed the meeting of the young couple
soon after; she, blushing radiantly, and
he, wistfully tender in the greeting.
A few pleasant words, and then tho young man stepped aside and Ellen was conducted to tho expectant guests. Thero is little more to tell. Iboy met as they had parted, with only the stretch of years
between.
An extract from a letter to his college
chum, to whom he had told his little love
story, read thus:
"Do you remember that a young lady
dressed in black was seated at the counter
when I took you into my office to toll yon
of my early love affair? and yon said:
firmly believe you will hud your brown-
eyed maid yet. It was she tho very one of whom I was speaking. But come on to the wedding, Christmas, and I will toll you
all about it."
And he went, as in duty bound, and for
a wedding gift presented the bride a haud-
Bome oil painting his own handiwork-
and called "A Cent's Worth of Baisins."

trial was a brief one, and the evidence was so overwhelming and conclusive
against the defendant that the justice
sent the jury out with tho statement
that the case wan so plain that it was
not necessary for him to charge them
as to their duty. After a few minutes consultation the jury returned and the foreman announced that they had
agreed. "W'at is your verdio'?" "We find Mr. guilty,"

Vonsmunon reporter. wen, no
continued, "it was one of the most romantic events in the life of that gallant soldier. He was with McClolian
in the Peninsular campaign, and was distinguished for his intelligent activity.
Porter conceived the idea that oauoous could be made very useful in reeonnoitering, and at his request Gen. McOlellan obtained the necessary equip
ment for this service. The balloons
and the apparatus for the manufacture of the gas were procured without muoh difficulty, but an aeronaut was not so oasy to obtain. Some of the officers of the engineer corps agreed to make the
first trip m the balloon which was to afford a view of the Confederate operations. Porter watched their preparations with keen interest. Just as they
had everything ready he stepped into tho basket of the clumsy gas bag to see that everything had been properly prepared. While he was examining the machine it slipped from the grip of the men who held it and shot liko an arrow up into the air, carrying Porter as its lone passenger. He had never been in a balloon before, and knew nothing whatever about managing one. A stiff breezo was blowing, and the great bulb flew like 8. bird away from the astonished camp until it became a mere speck in tho sky, and then faded completely from sight Not a man who watched it disappear expected that lie would ever see Porter alive again. He started on his wild flight at 7 o'clock in the menv incr. The dav wore away with the camp
in a state of great commotion over the
probable death of its favorite office. When nicrht came and nothing had been
seen of the balloon, it was the general conviction that Porter had either been killed by a fall from the balloon or had
been cantured bv the uonreaerates.
After daybreak next morning a picket challenged a man coming toward the
Federal line, and ft moment later roc

the wind changed and brought hini
back, and when ho saw that he was over

him. After this strange adventure n
more experiments with balloons were
made in McClellan's army." The Pneumatic Clock.

hibited in the Austrian section are not the least interesting. These clocks give exact time to all the clocks of a city simultaneously, whether the distance be six miles or sixty. The sys
tem has now been in operation for about two years in Vienna, where the
time is sent in this way from the Im
perial Observatory, through tubes laid
a'.ong the gas mains m ditierent parts of the city, to all the public clocks, the hands of which all move by this arrangement at the same time. The city
of Paris has recently authorized the "Societe des Horloges to make a public trial of this pneumatic apparatus, with a view to the possible adoption of
the system. The principle npon which these clocks work is this: "If a column of air, inclosed ia a tube at a given tension, be subjected to pressure it imme
diately transmits that pressure to all
its parts, even the most remote. xsut the compressed air, after having exerted its force, must be expelled from tho tube and expelled by a fresh columu ; because if the tube were not alternately opened and closed, this column would act precisely like an elastic spring; consequently the mechanical effect on the pistons would be insignificant, and the hands of the clock would remain at a standstill, powerless to move. The pneumatic clocks are at once simple and perfect; they are not likely to get out of order, and the escape of air, even, from the distributing pipes cannot alter their movement Malarial Attitudes. While malaria has its ordinary habitat in low-lying regions, it may under favorable conditions exist at great elevations. On the Tuscan Appeninea it h found at a height of 1,100 feet above the sea; on the Pyrenees and Mexican Cordilleras, &.000 feet; on the Himalayas, 6,400 feet; on the island of Ceylon. 6.500 feet: and on the Andes, 11,-

entire security has been thus approx
imated for various planes : In Italy, 400 to 500 feet; in C alifornia, 1,000 feet; alone the Annalachian chain of the
United States, 300 feet; in the West Indies. 1,400 to 1,800 feet In any
of these regions, however, malaria may drift up ravines to an indefinite
height The Coming Conveyance,
Balloons as an adjunct of warfare are attracting much attention in European military circles, and their possible value in times of peace is not entirely overlooked. An English writer remarks that the recent successful attempts at balloon-steerage in France have led nsany thoughtful persons to believe the day not to be far d stant when we shall see balloons plying in well-paying passenger traffic between England and the Continent Another writer adds that such a result would be no more wonderful in its way than the discovery and development of the telephone, which, though scarcely a decade old, is already so familiar to us that it no longer seems strange.

Social Free Lunching. -I know a woman in Washington,
writes a capital correspondent, who occupied a small, dark, inside room on
the fifth floor of a tolerably lashionatue
hotel. She, to use a theatrical expression, "faked out her meals." That is,
she arose at 10 or 12, bought a secondhand newspaper for a cent, and wended her way to a small saloon on Pennsylvania avenue, whose proprietor has grown rich by making a speeialy of delicious coffee and Vienna rolls and fine butter. He charges 10 cents for this
little lunob. This Madame Itinerant would breakfast on her cup of coffee and roll. Then she went up to Congress, invariably riding in the 3-cent car. There is a bob-tail car running up to the Capitol, tho fare in which is 3 cents, and some folks are so aristocratic thev are ashamed to be found riding in it
Madame would visit a lew of tne
members, loll for awhile in the gallery of tho House, aud sit jnst long enough
m the Senate gallery to secure recog
nition by a smile or bow from such of
her Senatorial friends as Happened to
be on the floor, and, after picking up a
few choice items of gossipy news, tho conventional coin with which she paves and pays her social way, my Madame Itinerant gets back by 2 o'clock to her dingy inside room. At 3 she comes out resplendent in a nonpareil velvet dress, and, card-case in hand, starts on the round of calls. She goes from house to house, and daintily and deliberately eats her itinch at each place. In the course of ten visits madam has more than satisfied the cravings of her stomach, and has dined and supped for
the day. Do vou wonder that I call
this "faking ont one's meals 1" Ee'iinald Scott, in Ms "Discovery
