CKafTaTltlX Rip, bavicg a wonderfully tenacious ensorv. did. not forget the eoixversation be bad ovtrheard Detween Mjles and Miaa Peni old; so, going to his patron's ofice, he repeated it in due course toDowhei. The result was that the deteotire became nraoh exercised in his mind orer the whole affair. He could not under' stand Desmond's refusal to tell the name of the woman he saw on the tight of the murder. 'Xrae, Desmond denied it was Lena Sarsohine, but then his denial went tor nothing, aa he would do so to save bunaeu irom suspicion, airs, rovy aaio Lena Serschine had been there between 11 and 12, and it was unlikely she would be wrong, seeing how well acquainted she was . with the appearance of the dead woman. Bat then, fudging from the drift of Desmond's remarks, his refusal to rkk was dictated by a desire to screen honor of a woman. 'Ton see this?" asked Dowker, showing Flip the dagger he had abstracted from Cleopatra Villa. Flip intimated by a vigorous nod of his head that he did. 1 ve got an idea.' explained .Ucwker, ootfatv. "that a daseer very similar to this Is to -be found in the possession of Mr. Kyles Desmond, the gentleman you saw to-day, so X want yon "by soma means to get into his rooms and find oat if it's them. Flio screwed his face into a look of profound thought and then smiled in a satisfied manner. Til do. it. KuVnor" he said, sagaoioniily. "How?" asked Dowkar, curious to learn how this juvenile detective proposed to oeai witn tne prooiem. "IH does on his doorsteo to-nioht." said Flip, "and when he comes 'ome do a "pensn you knows in an explanatory tone -"say I'm dyiu' for victuals 'ell take me inside, and when I gits there you leave me alone, gnv'nor, I'm fly 1" "WeU, yon can manage it as you pleege," Said Dowker. ."But dont you prick yourself with it, as it's poisoned, and Flip, if you bring me that dagger without him knowing about it, I'U give you half a bo v. "Done. Kuv'nor ." said Flip, joyfully. and, bidding adieu to his patron, went est to get something to eat and prepare his plan of action. ii was now aoom six o woca ana very dark, the sky being overcast wttn cloui boon It began to rain steadily aura--toe streets became sloppy and dismal. Flip drew his rags round him, shivered a little in aprofessiunal manner, and then nng off ton cook-shop he patronised m Drury Lane, had a Bunch of bread ana at steaming cup ox coffee tot a small Being thus prenared for his work Flip wiped his mouth, and, sallying forth into the. dirty lane, took his way up to Bloomsbury, oombining business with pleasure by begging on the road. '.earning t into Primrose Crescent he soon found the house he wanted, and. curling himself on the doorstep, waited patiently for chance to deliver Myles into his designing hands. The rain continued to pour down steadily, and as it was now dark Flip could see the windows all along the street being lighted up. The gas-tamps also shone briKhtlv throturh the rain, and were refleeted in dull, blurred splashes on the pavements, uecasionauy a gentleman would hurry past with his umbrella up, and a ragged trem. would slouch along singing a dismal dttty. it was dreary waiting, but Flip was used to such times, and sat ouita contented, thinkinc how he could lay out his promised half gov. ereign to tbe best advantrge, till his quick ear caught the sound of footsteps inside. This was his one. so he immediately lay down on the wet atones and com menced to moan dismally. Myles opened the door and would have stumbled over hint, for he was right in front of the entrance after the fashion of the clown in the pantomime, onlv lie eausrht siahtof him in time. Hullo, said styles, crossly, "what the deuce is the matter?" Flip made no reply to this, but groaned with renewed vigor, upon which Desmeao, wno was a a-ina-neartea man, bent-down and touched the ragged little Are you SI?" he asked, gentlv. "Oh, Lor' awful my insides," groaned Flip, pressing his dirty hands on his stomach. "Ain't had a bit for days." Hy tee was doubtful as to the genuineness of this ease, as he knew how deceptive tramps are, but as the poor lad did seem in pain and it was raining heavily ha determined to giro him the benefit of the doubt. "Can you rise?' he asked, sharply. "If so, get up and come inside. I'll give you sometniagto do you gooa. With many groans and asseverations of extreme pain Flip struggled to his feet, and aided by Myles went inside, up tbe stairs and was at last safely deposited on the hearthrug In front of the fire, where he hty and groaned with great dramatio effect. "I'll give you some hot port wine," said Styles, going to. the sideboard and taking out a glass and a bottle, "so I'U have to go downstairs and get some hot wateryon wait here." Flip eroaned aaain and crrated on the floor like a young eel; but when the door had closed behind his benefactor, he sprang to his feet and took a survey of ha room. It was a large and lofty apartment, with a pair of folding-doors on one aide, wjioh being half open showed Flip that the other room was a bedroom. There was a sideboard in the sitting' room, and near this a writing-table, toward which Flip darted and commenced to turn over the papers rapidly with the idea of finding the dagger hidden underneath. Nothing, however, rewarded his efforts, and though he looked into the sideboard, examined the bookcase and lifted up (he covers of the chairs, he found no sign of the weapo . "Host be in tbe bedroom," thought Flip, scratching his head in perplexity and wwuuw.'ug .... wu. gv. u., wmvm suddenly It occurred to hist that ha had net examined tne mantel-puce. There was not a moment to be lost, as styles might return at any moment, so in a second Flip scrambled up on a chair, and was eagerly looking among the ornaments on the mantel-piece. There was a mirror framed in tarnished gold, and in front of this a tawdry French oloek under a glass shade, two Dresden ohina figures simpering at one another, and two tall green vases at each end. Flip saw nothing of what he wanted till he peered into one of these vases, where he saw something looking like steel, and drew forth slender shining blade with no handle. . "Wonder if this is what the gnv'nor ante? se saio to mm sen, turning it over gingerly; "taint got no.'andla." He thought for a moment, and then, as he had been so lucky with one vase looked
The Piccaailly Pazzk
Into the other, and found a cross handle. He joined the two and they fitted perfectly. Betas certain thin was what Dow
ker wanted, he was thinking how he could take it, when he heard Myles ascending the stairs. Jumping down be hid the broken blade and the handle securely among his rags, being very careful not to prick himself as he remembered Dowser's warning about the poison, then he lay down upon the hearth-rug again, and was groaning painfully when Myles entered with the hot water. "Feeling bad?" askod Myles, sympathetically, pouring out someiport wine. "Awfuli groaned Flip, with a foaling of oompunotion at the treacherous part he was playing. '"It's oold, I think weak with 'anger." "Here, drink this," said Desmond, sitting down beside him. and eiving him the steaming tumbler. "It will do you gooa. "Thanks, gnv'nor, "said Flip, gratefully, feeling if the broken blade was all safe, "it 'all warm me up." Desmond lighted bis pipe and sat watching the ragged little arab drinking the hot wine, never thinking for a moment that he was nourishing a viper a viper tnat would turn ana sung mm. Honest himself, he never snspeoted wrong-doing in others, and while succoring this outcast he did not know he was doing an evil thing for himself. After Flip had finished the wine, he declared he felt better, and, with many asseverations of gratitude, took leave of his benefactor. "Poor little devil 1 said Desmond, as he closed the door, and saw the ragged little urchin scudding away in the darkuses, "he seemed very bad well, I've done one good action, SO p.arhaps it will bring me a reward." It did, and the reward was that next morning Myles Desmond, of Bloomsbury, journalist, was arrested for tho murder of Lena Sarsohine; OHAPTKK X. AKOTHE COMPLICATION Though he had arrested Myles Desmond, Dowker was by no means certain that he had got a hold of the right man. Judging from the conversation reported by Flip, Desmond himself appeared to have strong suspicions about Calliston, and Dowker in his own mind beoame convinced that there was some connection between the elopement of Lady Balsoombe and the murder of Lena Sarsohine. He wanted to find out tha name of the woman who visited Lady Balsoombe on the night of the murder, for a sudden thought had presented itself that this unknown visitor might have been Lena Sarschine. But the idea seemed absurd, for a woman of such a character could hardly have the audacity to visit Lady Balscombe. "And yet, pondered Dowker, "I dont know these two women both loved the same man, and a free-lance like Lena Sarphine would not hesitate for a moment in slanging any woman who took her man" away but why did not Lady Balscombe kick up a row and order her to leave the house? I'm hanged if I can get to the bottom of this!" At length Dowker deeided that the best thing to be done would be to find out from some servant of the Balsoombe household all that took place subsequent to Lady Balsconibe's departure. First, however, he decided on seeing Lydia Fenny and finding out if Lena Sarsohine had hit fall any hint of calling on her rival. Lydia Fenny received the detective eagerly, as she evidently loved her mistress and wanted to do all in her power to farther tbe ends of justice. As there was no time to be lost, Dowker plunged at once into the subject matter of his visit. "Did Miss Sarsohine state, on the night of her murder, where she was going?" he "Yes," replied Lydia; "as I told you before, she said she was going to Lord Calliston's rooms' "Nowhere else?" "Not to my knowledge." "Knmrjh! she did not make anv remark ihas-jronld load vou to believe aha was
Ingoing to Lady Balscombe's?"
iisay uaiscomoe si ' ecnoea jjyaia in astonishment: "why. what would she want to do there?" "I don't know, but I think she was there on that night." And Dowker de tailed to Lydia the conversation overheard by lip, at tbe conclusion ox wnion sue said: "I suppose you want to find out from the servants if Miss Sarschine was there?" "Teg; do you know any of the servants?" "One Lady Balscombe's maid Annie Lift-ord." "Oh!" said Dowker, in a satisfied tone. "Can you ask her to come along here and see you? I can find out all I want to know from her." "I daresay I can get her to come here to-day, as her mistress being away she can not be busy." . "Good!" replied the detective. "Send for her at onoe. I will wait here." "Very well," said Lydia, and was leaving the room when Dowker oalled her back. "Could yon let me see your mistress' private desk?" he asked. Lydia looked at him doubtfully. "I don't know if I ought to let yon see her private papers." Dowker laughed in a subdued manner. "Why uot? he said lightly; "she is dead, and wa want to find out who killed her; looking at her papers can not do any harm and may save the life of an innocent man." Lydia Fenny hesitated no longer, but leading the detective to the end of the drawing-room showed him a recess wherein was placed a very handsome desk of the ordinary office oharaoter. Dowker tried some of the drawers. "Looked," he said quietly, "Hare you the keys?" "No, she had them with her." Dewker made up his mind to commit a burglary. "Bring me a chisol." "At once," replied Lydia Fenny, going; "and I'll also send for Annie Lifford." She left the room, and Dowker, sitting down in front of the desk, examined it carefully. It was one of those table desks with a knee-hole in the center and a row of drawers on each side. At tbe book were a number of pigeon-holes containing papers, and these Dowker examined, but found nothing more than bills and blank sheets of paper. "Whatever private papers she's had," said Dowker, on discovering this, "are in these drawers." Lydia Fenny arrived with a chisel and a small hammer, both of which she handed to Dowker, telling him at the same time she had sent for Annie Lifford. Dowker nodded carelessly and began to f oree open the drawers. After half an hoar's hard work this was the result of his labors: First, a bundle of old letters addressed to "Miss Helena Dicksfall, Post Office, Folkestone," signed F. Carrill. , Second, a photograph of a handsome, white-haired old man, on the back ox whioh was written, "Your loving father, Miehnel Dicksfall." Third, a photograph of Lena Sarschine, taken in a white dress, with a tennis raoket in her hand. Dowker examined the photographs carefull) and then coolly read all the letters, of whioh there were about ten. After doing this he turned to Lydia Fenny, who had been watching him all tha time, and said: "I can read a whole story in this. The name of your mistress was not Lena Sarsohine, bnt Helena Dicksfall. She lived at Folkestone with her father, Captain Michael Dicksfall, and a lady she calls Amelia, whom I take to be her sister. Lord Calliston went down to Folkestone, saw her, and fell in love. All these lettars show how he conducted his intrigue, whioh he did under the name of Frank Carrill. He loved Miss Dicksfall, bat did not wish to marry her. At last he persuaded her to run away with him, and at last she did so. Ashamed of her position, she changed her name to Lena Sarschine so as to conceal her identity. The portrait of the old gentleman la that of her father, Michael Dicksfall, and this one is herself." Lydia Fenny listened in silent amnzement to tbe way in which he had pieood the story together, and then taking the portraits in her hand she looked at them long and earnestly. "Ye," she said at length, laying down the photographs with a sigh. "It Is Miss Sarschine, bnt it must have been taken some time ago, fori never saw her in that dress, and I have been with her for about ayeaT." Dowker was about to make a reply,
whsn the deor opened and a woman enI tored. Tall, thin, with a pale face, dark
hair, and an aggressive manner, dressed in a green dress, and bonnet to mstoh. "Ohl" observed Lydia on seeing her, "is this you, Annie?" Dowker looked sharply at the newcomer, whom he now knew to be Lady Balscombe's maid, and she returned his gazo with a look of suspicion. "Well, sir," she said at longth, in a rather harsh voice, "I hope you'll know me again." Dawker laughed, and Lydia hastened to introduce him to Miss Lifford, who, being an extremely self-possessed young person, took the introduction vory calmly, though she manifested some surprise when she heard Mr, Dowker's calling. "This gentloman," 6aid Lydia, when they were all seated, "wants to ask you a few questions." "And for what?" asked Miss Lifford, indignantly, "my oharaoter I hope being above policemen's prying." "I'm not a policeman, explained Dgwker, smoothly, "bnt a detective, and I want to know all that took plaoe on the night your mistress e'oped." Aro you employed by Sir Rupert?" asked Annie, grandly; "because, though I knows they fought bitter, yet wild bulls won't drag anything out of me against my mistress, she being a good one to me." I don't want yon to say anything against your mistress," replied Dov mildly; bat I am invetigating this uowker. oase of murder. "Murder!" echoed Miss Lifford, in a scared tone. "Who is murdered not Lady Balscombe?" "No," said Lydia. bursting into tears, "but my poor mistress, Miss Sarschine." "A person of no repute," sniffed Annie, coldly. "Leave hor alone," said Lydia passionatoly. "She's dead, poor soul, and, even if she was not married, sha was batter than Lady Balscombe, oarrying on with Lord Calliston." " Oh, indeed, miss!" said Annie, rising, indignantly. "This is a plot, is ItTto mix up Lady Balscombe with your mistress? I won't have anything to do with it." Dowker caught her wrist as she arose and forced her back into her chair. "You'll answer what I want to know," he 8id sternly, "or it will be the worse for yourself." Upon this Miss Lifford began to weep, and demanded if she was a slave or a British female, to be thus badgered and assaulted by a policeman. At last, after some difficulty, Dowker succeeded in making her understand that what he wanted to know was not detrimental to her mistress, upon whioh she said sha would tell him what he required. So Dowker produced his note-book and prepared to take down Miss Lifford's evidence. TO BS continued. Wellington's Plans. ' Before the battle of Waterloo, no one was probably mora uneasy than Lord Uxbridge, who,, if 'Wellington should be killed, would be called upon to succeed him in command, and who knew nothing whatever about, the duke's plans. f"""" "I am in a very difficult position," he said to a friend. "If any accident happens to the duke, I shall find myself commander-in-chief. I would give anything in the world to know tho duke's projeots, and yet I dare not ask him what I ought to do." After some consultation on the subject, they went together to Wellington and frankly told him the difficulty in hand. The duke listened without impatienoe, and at the end of Lord Uxbridge's speeoh he said, calmly: "Who will attack the first to-morrow, I or Bonaparte?" "Bonaparte," replied Lord Uxbridge. Well," continued the duke, "Bonaparte has not given me any idea of his projects, and as my plans will depend upon his, how can you expect me to tell you what mine are?" Lord Uxbridge bowed, and made no reply. The duke rose, and continued, touching him in a friendly way on the shoulder: "There is one thing certain, Uxbridge; that is, that whatever happens, you and 1 will do our duty." He then shook bis hand warmly, and they separated, Lord Uxbridge no wiser than before, yet feeling that Wellington had trusted him exactly as far as his reticent nature would allow. Yet the great duke did depend iu a great measure upon the application of common-sense to the needs of the moment. When he was once asked how he succeeded in conquering Napoleon's marshals, one after another, he replied: "They planned their campaigns just as you might make a splendid set of harness. It looks very well, and answers very well, until it gets broken, and then you are done for. Now, I made my campaign of ropes. If anything went wrong, I tied a knot and went on." On another occasion he confessed that his success in life was to be attributed to "the application of good sense to the ciroumstnnces of the moment." Thus, although a reticent man by nature, it is possible that he did not remain silent from ehoioe alone, but because hie designs were so subject to change. r The Bible. Do you know a book that you are willing to put under your head for a pillow when you are dying? Very well; that" is' the book you want to study when you are living. There is bnt one such book in the world. For one, I have made up my mind not to put under my head when I lio dying anything written by Voltaire, or Strauss, or Parker. We are too scientifically careful when we choose a book for a dying pillow. If you can tell me what you want for a dying pillow, I will tell you what you want for a pillar of fire in life that is the Bible, spiritually and scientifically understood by being transmuted into deeds. Sentiment is worth nothing until it becomes principle, and principle's

According to MulhalPa "Statistics," the war between Spain and Portugal, 1830-40, cost $'250,000,000; France and Algeria, 1830-47, f 190,000, 000; the civil war in Europe, 1848, $50,000,000; Great Britain, France, and Russia, 1854-56, $1,525,000,000; Franoe and Austria, 1859, $225,000,000; United States, 1861-65, $3,700,000,000; Prussia and Austria, 1866, $100,000,000; Franoe and Mexico, 1866, $75,000,000; Brazil and Paraguay, 1864-70, $240,000,000; France and Germany, 187071, $1,580,000,000; Russia and Turkey, 1876-77, $050,000,000.

THE NATIONAL SOLONS.
SENATE AND HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. Onr National law-Makers and What They Are Doing lor the flood ot the Country Various Measures Vropoeedt IMsoussed and Aeted Upon. Ik tho Sonato, on the 27tb, the ebiislderatlon pf the biU for the admission ot Wyoming as a State was resumed, and Mr. Morgan addressed tho Senate in opioslUon to it. Meters. Payne and Gray argued against tho bill, and Mi. Putt favored it. 'I'Uo tiuostion was taken on Mr. Jonee' Bubsticnto (an enabliug act for Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona, and Now Mexico), and it was rejeoted by a strict party vote yeas, IS : nays. SS). Mr. Jones (Ark.) then moved as a ubsUtuie au onabling act tor Wyoming alone, and it was rejected by exactly tho same vote, luo bill was then passed by a strict party The first section ot the bill is a follows : - What tbo State of Wyoming is hereby declared to be a Btalo of the United Status of America, is hereby declared admitted iuto the Union on an equal fooling with the orlgiual States in all reapwts whatever, aud that the constitution which the people of Wyoming have formed fur themselves be aud the same is hereby accepted, ratified and confirmed. Tbe eecond section gives th boundaries. The third declares the State entitled to one representative in the Ust Congress. The other sections refer to public lands and to provisions for schools, an agricultural oellege, a penitentiary, an insane asylum, etc.; also to Circuit and District Courts of the United States. The bill for the admission of Idaho was then taken up and went over as "unfinished business." After an oxeeutive session the Senate adjourned. In the Rouse, consideration of t-i Federal lections bill was resumed, tha debaio being participated in by Messrs. Hansen, (Wis.), Covert (N. Y.), Vaux (Pa), and oennedy (Ohio). The House in the evening passed 105 private pension bills, including a large number which camo over from previous sessiotww and at 10 :30 adjourned. IN the Senate, on the 80th ult, the House bill for the admission ot Idaho as a State was taken up for consideration. The bill having been road, Mr. Merrill gave notice that he would, at the earliest practicable moment, move to take up tho tariff bill. Mr. Piatt said that he could not consent to any suggestion that interfered with tbo Idaho bill. Much as he believed in tbe tariff bill, and anxious aa he was to see it passed, ho would not consent to its being taken up until the Idaho bill was disposed ot. Mr. Cullum addressed the Henate in favor of the admission of Idaho. The bill was then laid aside. The Bouse joint resolution continuing the annual appropriations for tidrty days after the close of the fiscal year (if tbo appropriation bills have not then become law) wae reported by Mr. Allison and passed. In tun Bouse the debate on the general election bill was resumed, Mr. Herbert of Alabama being accorded the floor. The debate was suspended long enough to enable Mr. Cannon of Illinois to report from the Committee on Appropriations a joint resolution extending for thirty days, or until the bills now pending become laws, the provisions of tho ap. propriation note of 1889-90 in pro rata amounts. Passed, Tbe consideration of the election bill was then resumed. Mr. Lodge an behalf of the committee submitted a scries of amendments mainly formal in their character, nd they ware agreed to. Tag Idaho admission bill was passed by the SSbata without division on the 1st inst. The conference eommittee on tho legislative appropriation biU reported that tbe House refused to) agree to a Senate amendment aud duo line further conference. The only alternative being: failure of tbe bill, or a recession on the part of tbe Senate. The Senate gually refused to recede. This means that unless the House or Senate reconsider iu aetion the legislative bill will fail anil a new legislative bill will have to be prepared and passed. Mr. fieagan addressed tbe ' f-enate on his bill to prevent transportation of merchandise in bond through the ports and territory of tha United States into the Bepublio of Mexico, and to rostore tbe privilege whenever the Zona Xdbro luvs been abolished, The Senate then went into secret session, and at S o'clock adjourned. Tbo House resumed tbe consideration ot the Federal election bill. Mr. Lodge offered au amendment providing that as soon as the eertificato of tho board has been ma lo public any person who was a candidate for election may, by motion before the United States Circuit Court baviug jurisdiction in the district, contest tbe correctness of the certificate made by tho board, and demand an examination and compilation of the returns. The returning officers snail produce before the Circuit Court all ret urns, reports, tiokots, and all ovidenoo on which It acted in advance in awarding the certificates. The Circuit Court shall thereupon determine and certify the person shown ostitled to the certificate. Also an amendment provld'u that If there shall be an appeal from tho decision ot the United States Board ot Canvassers to the Circuit Court, tbe Clerk of the House of Representatives shall place on the rolls as the Representative elect tho name of the person certified by said court as entitled to tbo seat. Tbe amendments were agreed to. Mr. Buckalew (Pa.) then moved to strike out section 36, wbicb obangee the law so at to place tbe selection of jurors in the bands of tbe clerks of courts. After debate Mr, Buukalew's amendment was adopted yeas. Ml) ; nays, 131. At tbe evening session Messrs.

This property of the brain of combining tho images of the two retinas is occasionally of use in tracing the form of an object under the microscope without tho aid of a drawing prism. That our judgment of distance depends largely upon our having two eyes may be shown by trying to thread a needle with one eye closed. Piotures must be classed as optical illusions, for all artists attempt to make objects on a flat surface appear to have three dimensions. So well is this done at times that we think the eyes of a picture follow us as we move about the room. The effect of neighboring forms in misleading the judgment may be shown by placing two exactly equal, somewhat horseshoeshaped pieces of cardboard with the narrow part of the one opposed to the broad part of the other, when the latter will always look larger. How big does the sun look t is a question whioh would get various answers. It is difficult to estimate the size of an object when there is nothing to compare it with. When we see people walking on the top of a smail hill, the summit of which is sharply defined against the sky, they appear gigantic. . The "Specter of the Brocken,' a shadow cast by the rising sun, may also be mentioned. Au amusing error of judgment is often made when one attempts to show the distance from the floor a hat on a gentlonian's head would roach. If a sqnare ix divided in one direction by parallel line's, it appears elongated in the direction of the lines ; in dress this is useful, for vertical stripes make a lady look much taller and thinner. Prescriptions in English. It is rather a serious piece of professional conventionalism which compels a parent to stand beside the thin veil that separates his child from eternity with medicines in his hand of the character of whioh he knows nothing, except lihat they were called for in Latin and Greek hieroglyphics, and furnished by some druggist of whose competency hi may also know nothing. A drop too much, an innocent oversight in the method of application, or any other mistake growing out of an ignorance of what he is handling, may be sufficient to decide the chances of life; People havG the right to know what they are administering to their loved ones.

What a great role tbe hint and tbe insinuation ploy ijn human lifel How much hinting far things there is in everyday life) In fact, all in nil the relations of life between husband and wife, parent and child, landlord and tenant, there is a contiional hinting going on. Some hints are very delioato and can scaroely bo disocrxied at all, while others are so broad that it is impossible not to see and fool them. A Scotch beadle took his sweetheart to a graveyard, and, showing her a dark corner, said; "Mary, my folks lio there Would you like to lie there when you die?" It was a (trim way of proposing, but Mary was a sensiblo Scotch lassie, and accepted him. When tbe farmer who is afflicted with a family ot talkative girls wants them to stop gabbling, he merely makes a motion to a churn. They take tbe hint, and partial silence prevails. Tbe question of the young lady who is weary to the young gentleman who stays late, if bo has tested the new sidewalk up the street, also contains a hint of another type, however, than the winkknowing soda water olork. Texas Siftixfs. 3Fun at the Table. An Austin man read in a saner that the family should always be the soentr of laugnter ana merriment, ana that no meal should be passed in the moodysilence tuat so otten characterizes these occasions. The idea struck him so fa vorably that when his family was: gathered or our. d tbe table that evening he said: "Now, this sort o thing of keeping eo blamed mum at meals hits got to stop. You hoar me? You girls, put in an' tell stories, an' keop up agreeable sort o' talk, like; an' you boys, laugh an' be. jolly, or I'll take and dust your jaeketg. with a grape-vine till you can't stand. Kow begin! - The glare that he sent around the table made tbo family as funny as funeral. Texaa Siftinga.
