"I did hope—I really did hope it would have been different Prof. Middiemist." said Rafael Amato dejectedly. "You yourself told me, you know, that it would be all right and I had every confidence in you. But here I am only month married, and it's coming back almost as bad as ever—and of course, considering the circumstances, a great deal worse. What tinder Heaven am 1 to do?" "You care nothing more about her, •eh?" said the professor, in his deep, booming voice. "But I do care for her. you see!" ex' 'claimed the young man. "I think there's nobody like her. If I dldn'1 care, I shouldn't mind but that's the trouble I" "Who ever heard," snorted the processor, "of a man who cared for hi: wife failing in love with anothei woman?" "Then it is as I feared—I am unlike other men," rejoined Rafael, with a sigh. -That's what my poor deal .mother always used to tell mo. I'll tell you the way it seems to me. It is as if all women were only one woman

Tarious versions of one woman, you know. And since I'm in love with the woman, of course I can't help being in 'love with all the versions." "What! Ugly and pretty alike?" •"•'"Oh. no! only the pretty ones. The ugly ones don't count. They're a sort of mistake. I don't exactly look at them." "Do you consider Verinda pretty ot ugly?" "Why, pretty, by all means! But 11 she were the prettiest woman In the world—and 1 do believe 9ho is—still she's only one version. If I never saw anyone else, or if there were no others, 1 should be safe. But as it is, something happens every time I go out!" "Rafael, iny boy," said the professor, sonorously, "nothing is so bad as half a philosophy. Your theory th at all women are but manifestations of •the one everlasting woman Is sonnd enough. But is it not also true that all •svomen are contained in each Individual woman—for him who loves her? That precious seeing whl ch love, as the poet says, lends to the eye, should enable you to discover in Verlnda the sum and essence of all the fascinations of her sex." "Yes, but I can't help remembering that she is Vcrindaall the time," Rafael answered, shaking his head and after a moment's pause he added "I don't think it would be right for me to forget 1* 1 urn not a polygamist" "Rafael," declared the professor, emphasizing his word with solemn uplifted forefinger. "you are the victim of a deluding and erroneous tradition.

Marriage is not a captivity, it is an emancipation. As your eyesightendows you with the visible universe, so in the •person of your wife you are possessed of womankind. Your union with her is a type—" "But, professor, all this does not heal my susceptibility," Rafael ventured to interpose. "The situation is this: I love woman and I am married to a woman. In so far as she is woman, I love her, too but, in so far as she is my wife—" "Rafael:-' exclaimed the professor, warningly. "In so far as she is my wife," repeated the young man, sadly but firmly, "I feel as if she were below par. How can a mnn desire what he already has? It is what he has not that allures him.

Were I to lose Ycrinda I should be Inconsolable, and should forget all others in serving her but as there is no prospect of her getting lost, I am In danger of forgetting her in seeking after all the others." "I'nhappv boy! you are indeed parverted." Raid the professor, removing his spectacles and rubbing the glasses on a corner of his bandana. "You argue in a vicious circle, whence is no «xit Your wife, in order to be your wife, must cease to be your wife! You are an irreclaimable idiot" "Sot irreclaimable, Prof. Middlemist," rejoined Rafael, earnestly "for you are the wisest of men, and I am confident that you know a medicine to cure even such an idiot as I." "Humph! You really flatter me," grunted the professor, stroking his beard. "I don't altogether share your confidencc but I know your father, and for his sake I am willing to dp what I can.

'o. 1 think I will make experiment with this nostrum of mv own invention. It is a desperate remedy, and has never been tried before but it will cure you if you are curable: you are more fool than knave and that is in your favor."

The little bottle which he now took up was full of small pills, each as biff as a duck shot, and of a hiijh pink color. The professor put some of them Into a tiny paper pill box, and handed them to RaiacL '•Let her take one every morning after breakfast," said he. "If there is no improvement by the end of the week it's a benefit" I "Hut it is I who aai the patient not Verinda:"1 said llafael.

It is through her that .-?a must be cured, if at all." the other replied: "and In prescribing them to Vermes. I am paying her the highest compliment ever offered to a woman. But she will never know it. and if she did it would make no di3erence. "ow be off. and don't let me see you ayain till next week:" So saying. Prof. 1 iddlemist resumed his book, and Rafael departed.

Of course I'll take it darling, if you wish me to," said Verlnda, the next morning, "but I never felt better in my life. There:'' and she swallowed It with an undulation of her lovely whit? throat that prompted her husband to kiss it Then he looked at her but could perceive no effect from the drug. At least it was to the kiss that he ascribed the brightening of her eyes and the flushing of her cheeks.

I believe she does look prettier." he said to himself: "but after all she is still Verinda—and I am I"'

You'll be back to dinner, won't you?" she said, with her soft hands on his shoulders. "P.ut 1 know you will, because I know you love me as much as •m-m 1 love you. If I had never-met you I never should have loved anybody."

Rafael concealed a guilty blush with a forced smile. "Nonsense'." said he. Ther-i are dozens of men in the world vou might have loved as well as me, or better." "Rafael, that is wicked! Suppose 1 was to say there were dozens of women you might have loved Why, what's the matter, darling? Are you angry?" "Don't try to jest Verinda—it doesn't become you." saSi her husband, gloomily. "Of course, I will think of nobody but you! The mere idea pains me. There, good-bv, my love! Be a good girl, and expect me to dinner."

So Rafael went away about his affairs and at noon he met a friend who invited him up town to lunch: "There's a cousin of mine, a mighty pretty girl, to be there." the friend said, "and as you are a connoisseur, I want you to meet her."

Here was a temptation from which Rafael, knowing h:w own weakness, ought to fly. But, after a little hesitation, he accepted his friend's offer.

How am I to know if I'm cured, unless I put it to the test?" he argued. "If this girl is really pretty, and I don't fall in love with her, the professor's medicine will have been sucecssful." So to the luncheon he wc„t

The cousin was not at all like Verlnda. But she was very, very pretty nay, she was ravishinglv beautiful—at least Rafael thought so before he had been half an hour In her company. At the end of an hour, it was the worst attack he had yet had. As he went homeward, at the end of the day, he was much depressed. Plainly, the medicine had failed he was Incurable!

Whenever he tried to think of Verinda, the Image of the cousin presented itself. As he let himself into the door of his house, he felt like a criminal.

The hallway was dark Verinda came dancing out of the parlor to meet him. "What a good boy!" she cried, "you are t«n whole minutes ahoad of time! You Bhall have ten extra kisses! one—two— three—" "Wait till we get inside," said the unhappy Rafael, catching his breath. "Kissing in the dark Is no fun." "You didn't use to think so!" returned Verinda, with a little quaver in her voice. "I shall begin to believe you don't care to see me, if you—" "Verinda!" exclaimed her husband, desperately. They had by this time entered the drawing room, and the light from the chandelier fell full upon her face and figure as he turned towards her, with the purpose of confessing all and leaving her to decide what should be done. But, as his glance fell upon her it became fixed in a rigid stare, his jaw dropped, and his voice died away in his throat What had happened?

The woman who stood before him, dressed in Verinda's gown, and whoso tones and ways he had but an instant before recognized as his wife's, was not Verlnda at all, but—of all people in the world—the beautiful cousin! It was fticrediblc—impossible, of course and yet how is a man to reject the cvldenoe of his own senses? She to whom ho had lost his too fickle heart was before him—she. and no longer Verinda—was his wife. There was the slender oval face, the delicate patrician features, the complexion of the magnolia petal, the dark-fringed, languishing Andalusian eye—the cousin, to a hair! He put his trembling hand to his forehead and gasped with sheer amazement "Why, what is the matter with you, Rafael?" exclaimed she, advancing and trying to put her arms round his neck. "Y'ou look as If you didn't know me. What has happened?" "I—I—don't feel quite well," replied Rafael, shrinking away from her touch. "I'll be all right directly."

The strangest thing was, that although his every sense told him that this was the beautiful cousin, some deeper perception in his heart assured him that It was, nevertheless, Verinda. It was also evident that Verinda herself was unconscious of the change that had come over her. And the servant, who at that moment came in to say that soup was on the table, was obviously unaware of any alteration in her mistress' appearance. Tho transformation, then, was perceptible to Rafael alone. With a sudden impulse, he drew her to the tall mirror between the windows, that she might behold her reflection there.

reflection to the woman herself, it was the cousin again! "I understand it now!" he muttered, with a shudder, "it is Prof. Middlemist's pills: What will become of me?"

The necessity of concealing- the miracle from his wife—if she. were his wife —was imperative and by a violent effort he contrived to assume an outward composure. They went into the din-ing-room, she leaning lovimrly on his arm. Why did he recoil from her touch? was he not in love with her—with the beautiful cousin—and should he not rtv

Hudson bay to North Carolina, and the period which it remains underground depends wholly upon the degree of cold that it finds. When the weather becomes too frigid to be comfortable, it disappears into its hole, and it does not come out again until the temperature has moderated. Thus, in the far north it remains dormant all winter long, probably not visiting the outer air so much as once during its period of retirement Further south its period ti hibernating Is shorter in proportion to the warmth, and it is probable that during a warm winter in North Carolina It hardly goes to sleep in this way at all, only seeking that method of getting away from Jack Frost when occasional cold snaps make it necessary. So you see that it all depends upon the accident of latitude whether or not the ground hog comes out of its hole on Candlemas day and looks around for its shadow. The popular superstition to this effect is a very curious one, and, so far as can be learned no one knows from what source it is derived. Of course, the ground hog is not a hog at all, but a kind of squirreL—Chicago

HOW THE ANIMALS SLEEP.

A Midnight Visit to the Central Pnrk Me* nagerle. An Interesting study to any one fond of natural history Is to note the different positions In which animals and birds rest. A visit to the Central Park menagerie late at night allowed by the kind courtesy of Superintendent Conklin, revealed some curious sights.

The elephants were no longer looking for peanuts, but lay stretched out on the floor of their cages, their huge legs lying out at full length and the trunk curved under the lxdy. They were all resting on their right side. Near by In the deer-house the different deer had all cf'ouclied down for their rest with their forelegs bent under them and the hind ones drawn up. while the head was turned to the right and rested on the side of the body. The oryx, with Its long horns, was resting with its head away from the body and the horns making an arch over the shoulders. The alpaca simply looked like a large ball of black wool. Jack, tho donkey that draws the cart with the commissariat of the menagerie, was lying down and only deigned to Wink at tho lamp that revealed him resting on a well littered bed with his forelegs slightly turned inward from the knee and the hind ones also drawn inward. The female camel, who has a temporary home In the deer-house, lay on her stomach with her forc and hind legs bent under her while her head and neck were stretched straight out The little axis deer was cuddled up close to its mother, the two looking like some piece of mahogany picked out with white. "Tanny," the Skye terrier, who gives her chief attention to the rats that swarm the house, looked out inquisitively at the visitors, while her pup lay curled up on an empty snck.

In the lion house tho lioness was lying on her left side at full length, while the lion, couehant, rested with his head on his forepaws that were crossed, his hind legs half drawn under him, and the tail curled in toward the body. The pumas, tigers and leopards were all resting on their sides, in nearly every case lying on the right side. Tho hyenas, pariahs and scavengers of the

forest, rested with their hind legs

stretched out with the head sliphtly bent to the right Opposite them the two-horned rhinoceros was lying' at full length on his left side, geptly snoring. The hippopotami sv owed only their head and backs above the water, and "Fatiina," the baby hippo, rested its ponderous nose on the ri^ht shoulder of its mother.

In the smaller mammal house, (riven up almost entirely to civet cats, possums and such like, every animal had curled itself up inti the smallest possible space, burying the nose under the stomach, with all their paws drawn *ip I close to the body.

The boars were resting in various positions, some lying out at full length, others curled up. The two polar bears were all huddled up in a heap, with their noses buried deep in their white fur, and forepaws crossed over the eyes. Most of the birds were resting on their perches, their legs bent

The beautiful cousin was no longer there. Verinda —big o,vn Verinda—sat before him. The change in his heart had made a change in her no third person stood between them any longer and Rafael feltconviction and registered a vow that no such catastrophe should erer occur again.

"Back already," growled the professor, the next morning. "Take back your six accursed pills!" said RafaeL "One of them was enough for me, and too much!" "Better keep the rest—in case!" said the professor. "My eyes are opened," returned the young man, "and I see that there is but one woman in the world, and that Verinda is she. And having once seen clearly, I can never more be blind." "Very well," said the professor, "you know "your own business, I suppose. By the way, did you tell Mrs. Amato the secret of vour complaint?" "Heaven forbid," said Rafael turning

pale, "she shall never know it I am sane and seeing now may she never discover that I was once mad and blind!" "For your sake, I say amen"' said the professor. "But the pills are always here, if you should have a relapse."— Julian Hawthorne, in Life,

HABITS OF THE GROUND HOG.

It# Reliability as a Weather Prophet Somewhat Doubtful. It is a fact that the prediction of the gTOund hog seems to have often been fulfilled, but the prognostications of that farseeing beast are rendered somewhat unreliable by a variation in its habits from one latitude to another. Its wisdom as a weather prophet depends upon its manner of hibernating, and that differs according to climate, The range of the animal extends from

The Disappointed General.

A general of the first empire, as brave as his own saber, but caring as little for Champollion as a fish for an umbrella, heard one fine morning that his aide-de-camp was setting out for Egypt "Y'ou are going to Cairo? Much good may it do you: Beastly country! But do me a favor. There has been so much talk of mummies lately and I have never seen one. That bothers me it makes me look so foolish, d'ye see. Do you mind bringing me one hack with you?" "Most happy, general."

tqu tQ

A year later tl*e officer returned to Paris and oallcd on the general. "And my mummy?" "It is below."

Some soldiers carried up a sarcophagus. The first and second shells were removed, while the general looked on In anxious expectation. At last there appeared the mummy, swathed in bandages. The general leaned over with eager curiosity, then suddenly drew himself up to his full height and exclaimed, while darling a savage look at the unhappy aide-de-camp: I "Why, man, it's dead!"—Chicago

—A woman once consulted a seer regarding the way to retain the affection of her husband, and this was the advice reoelved: "Get a raw piece of best sirloin steak, about half an inch thick. Rub with a central slice from a wild onion, salt and pepper. Toast over a bright coal fire on a gridiron which is handled only by yourself, never by your servants then put a little sweet butter over the beet Give him half a pound of this each morning and do not (peak while he eats it"

FRAUD IN TRADE.

Sparlons Articles Palmed OfT Hy Conficiencele&A Dealerg. The extent to which fraud prevails in trade and business is something surprising and melancholy to contemplate. Adulteration is practiced in numberless articles. With milk, we have water, when we have nothing worse with tea, we have a great variety of foreign and American leaves with coffee, peanuts, chickory and beans with sugar, sand and other substances, with flour, plaster of Paris, and so on.

In the drug line it seems to be conceded that the chief skill to be attained is the skill of artfully mixing spurious substances which closely resemble the genuine drug. It has become a matter of chance whether the poor and desperI ate suicide who resorts to opium or arsenic finds strength enough in what he buys iot either of these articles to I put an end to his unhappy existence.

So far as he is concerned this is very well, but it is not so when such substances are relied ipon as remedial agents.

In articles which do not admit of adulteration you fare but little better. You get the genuine thing, but the chances are that you get it of very Inferior quality. Take the great staple, iron, for example. Thousands and millions of tons of it arc sold, of such inferior quality, as to be unfit for the purposes for which it is used, You can hardly buy a ready-made chain trace, imported or of domestic manufacture, in the city of New York, I strong enough to be certain to withstand the pull of a single horse. They are heavy enough, but the iron is weak or brittle.

In the use of a single keg of nails, hundreds will often be found—sometimes a large proportion of the whole keg—which cannot be driven into a pine board without breaking. Frequently, if you bore half a dozen holes I with a new auger, you will find it is unfit for further use. Chisels, saws and other carpenters' tools of like inferior quality supply the market I Why is this so? It is anywise consistent with the character of a Christlan community? I Many of the manufacturers of spuri- I ous and adulterated goods, and many of the dealers who grow rich from the traffic in them, profess to be moral and religious men but we are unable to see how dishonesty can consist with true Christianity.

Is the pulpit wholly faultless in this matter? Ought not its nnathemas to be hurled against those who, in the ordinary walks of commerce and trado, lead a life of constant fraud and cheating? We need the religious teaching which shall make men more conscientious, fair and scrupulous in their every* day transactions with each other.—N. V. Ledger.
