A BARGAINING PHYLLIS.

"Pretty Phyllis," said I, "truly Too have cheated me unduly."

"How, I prythoeT" said she to ma "I have only what is due roe."

"Yon have more," Bald I, beguiling Pretty Phyllis with my smiling. jjg

"I have given you a hundred Chances to say 'Yes,' and wondered

"Why you have not said it. Won't yon Bay it now?" She answered, "Don't you •'Think my 'Yes' of greater value? Let rae ask you one thing, 'Shall yon

Stop your giving?' If I thought so, Then perhaps 'Yes' might be bought so

But it is so sweet to hear yoa Giving mo the obance I fear you"—

THE DIVER'S DRAMA.

"It was almost enough to craze a man outright," said the old diver. "Aye, it was a tight flz—that in the Conqueror. She was coming in from the Mediterranean after a three years' cruise with the 'middies,' and went down in a gala in sight of home with •every soul on board. I was young then and anxious to be the first sent down into her for the sake of the reputation it would give me, for reputation meant money, and money, you see, was the only reason why Hettie and I were deferring our marriage. "The sea was running high as I was carried down in my heavy armor from the deck o" the steamer to the float

Alongside, where the ropes by which to haul me up again were fastened on. The india rubber tube, through which I was to be supplied with air, was adjusted. 'Now, dear boy,' said my old friend and instructor, Lott, the famous deep sea diver, who came forward to olose the little glass window in my helmet, 'take good care of yourself and don't •tay long below. The currents are swift.' "I dropped into the waves with a splash, sinking swiftly down through the brilliant sunlit waters, which, though rough and boisterous at their surface, suddenly grew calm as I passed below. I glanced up nt the sun, which appeared as a great ball of fire, but, growing smaller and smaller as I sank lower, it finally seemed like the tiny red spark of a candle and {hen" faded from sight. "I cleared a bank of thick seaweed and stood at Inst upon the bright sandy bottom. "Passing around a reef of rooks fancifully honeycombed, I oame upon a mass of tangled rigging, and a few •teps brought me to the man-of-war half buried where she lay in the sand. "Great oaution was necessary lest 1 should become entangled among the ropes or caught under the shifting timbers, and making my way slowly to the com pan ion way I sont up the signals: 'I am about to enter the vessel'—'1 shall be in danger'—'Play out rope freely, and give me plenty of air.' "I made my way to the lower deck and found myself in the forward oabin. I groped about for the doorway, knowing that once in the main saloon the deck lights would enable me to see more distinctly. "Clearing the rubbish and drifted •and from about the doorway, I put my shoulder to the door, shoved it back against the waters and resolutely entered. An awful silenco was upon everything—a silenoe as of death. I was aloue, at the bottom sf tho sea, in the saloon of the Conqueror, and oloso about mo were postured, liko grim sentinels set to watch me in my work, the officers and crew of 3001 "Yes, there were the ill fated men as they stood when death overtook them on that awful night, when they were sinking. Before they could reach the stairway the mighty water had rushed in upon them and they died where it had mot them, at the threshold. "The eddying waters carried them her© and there through the cabin, but still so close were they to one another that 1 had to part them now and then to reach the after oabin, and riore than one turned, as I slowly passed along and followed in the wake I made behind me. Their faces were often close against my helmet, and it horrified mo to notice that they all wore still upon their faces the impress of the terror that had come npon them with death. "A moment passed and I was terrified at receiving no response from a second or third signal! "I pulled the rope again violently— waited—still no reply. "Great lwnvens 1 What did it all mean?

When I recovered I was calm—prayer came to my lips. "I closed my eyas quietly and waited for the death I was powerless to defer waited for it with my head laid on my arms as I used to sleep in the dear old days at home waited quietly for its coming, praying God that it oome upon me gently.

Was I crazed? Was I mad, or was this a new torture for me in my last moments? I had lain quiet but a moment, when I started up in terror, uttering a cry, a weak, miserable cry, which died on my lips as I sank again on the deck and closed my eyes to a terrible sight before ma "I had left the oabin door open and freed the imprisoned dead men. One of the dead sailors had floated up to the deck, and, by some horrible ohance, the tide bore him directly toward me. Was I to die surrounded once more by those ghastly sentinels as a death watch "He was borne slowly along on the current, his eyes wide open in an awful stare, his arms outstretched as though to embrace me, welcoming me to the unknown world. I fell prostrate on the deck in my terror, but he floated on slowly, the tide casting him up against me, when he fell at my side. 'I caught him in my desperation, to fling him from me, but his arms closed tight about me in an iron embrace, and his face was close to mine—the face of old Lott, the diver, who had come down through the waters to save me, and in whose stout arms 1 was borne up and carried insensible to the boats above. 'We saw what was wrong right away,' be said to me afterward, 'when the ragged ends of your rope floated to the surface There was only one way of reaching you, old fellow, and I can tell you we flew around quick. We had no "bell" to go down to you in,

The water oppressed me fearfully, and I couldn't have stood it more than a few minutes. In that few minutes I found you, caught you in my arms and signaled to them to haul us up pretty quick. It was killing me.' '1 took his dear hands in mine, and looked into his good, honest eyes. With a swelling heart I told him, in such words as I could, of my gratitude for his heroic efforts when he came down through the waters nt the risk of his own life to pave mine.

Tho Dutch In Jitjiao, 1040. The Dutchmen were confined wit bin the narrow hounds of their isliuid prison —which, as Kaempfer tells us, was by his own measuring 236 paces long by 82 paces broad—and shut in by a high palisading topped with spikes. A more monotonous existence could scarcely be conceived. In the earlier days some half dozen ships would arrive during the year, but from the beginning of the eighteenth oentury not more than one or two annually-1—generally about September. They had scarcely anchored when the resident, with his retinue, had to set out on his long and costly journey to Tokyo, -to deliver the customary presents to the shogun. The humiliations these poor Dutchmen were compelled to undergo are well described by Kaempfer in his immortal history: "As soon as he (the Resident Van Brutcnheim in 1601) oame into the emperor's presence the commissioners cried out, 'Oranda Kapitain.' Accordingly, be crawled on his hands and knees to a place between the presents and the emperor. Then, kneeling, he bowed his forehead quite down to the ground, and so crawled backward like a crab, without uttering one single word. So mean and short a thing is the audience wo have of this mighty mon arch."

In the following year, 1692, the new resident, Van Outhoorn, was subjected to even greater indignity. "We were oommanded," writes Kaempfer, "to sit upright, take off our cloaks, stand up, walk, turn about, sing songs, compliment one another, be angry, eta, to jump, dance, play gambols, eta," and even "to kiss one another like man and wife, which the ladies of the court showed particularly by their laughter they were well pleased with."—Athenaeum.

Something Like Red Tape.

It is stated that an operatic star of some note connected with one of the principal Moscow theaters, wishing to make a short excursion into the country, went to get her passport countersigned by the local authorities. The presiding official received her politely, and, having learned her business, inquired for her "written petition." "My written petition!" cried the lady. "I have none. I never knew that anything of the kind was required." "Not required, madam? On the contrary, nothing can be done without it" "What am I to do, thenf' "Nothing easier.

The document was accordingly handed across the table. The great man adjusted his spectacles, broke the seal, gravely read over his own composition from beI ginning to end, folded it and docketed 1 it with methodical slowness, and then, turning to the impatient artist, said, with an air of officii*solemnity: 1 "Madam, I hare nXd your petition, and regret to tell you that I am unable to grant it"—Moscow Oornqnadeaoa

SEPTEMBER MOON VIEWING.

er tired floating about the colossal torii, the spell of which was stronger each day. The Miyajima urchins made water carnivals about us, diving and splashing tirelessly for the smallest coins, our sampan surrounded by these lively little brown frogs, with bright, happy faces. On the night of the great September moon viewing the sendo took us far down the shore at sunset, letting us see two of the ten forts of the island's defenses, their portholes and casements masked in foliage, and looking innocently down upon the narrow, tideswept strait that commands one entrance to Ujina. Incoming junks seemed to leef their sails purposely for us, fishermen cast and drew their nets, and all of picturesque water life showed until dusk.

There was only a little time of darkening grayness and real night before a pale effulgenoe showed behind the heights, and Ochiku San rose, tangled herself in a pine tree's branches, soared clear for awhile as she turned the whole bay, the temple and the torii to silver, and then, like a true Japanese moon, barred herself across with narrow cloud bands. There were quiet groups and solitary souls muttering under the breath on the hill beside the taiko's hall and looking down upon the temple, which seemed to be truly floating on a full flowing silver sea. Every court was a shining space, and no sound was heard save the distant hand strokes of those praying before the shrines.

From this vision of enchantment we went by shadowy streets to our maple leaf home, where the witchery of moonlight filled the little glen with more of fairyland than ever. At our doorway a little altar table had been placed, and two plates of the rice dumplings, symbolic of abundance and prosperity, and a vase of Leapedeza and the early "autumn weeds," illumined by ^he flame of a tiny wick laid over the edge of a sauoer of oil, were set in silent offerings to Ochiku San. A deer stood back in the shadows, gazing with shining eyes at this eloquent offering, but nothing disturbed the homely altar until dawn showed the saucer burned dry of its oil, and the greatest moon festival of the year was over."—Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore in Oentury. ^4

Vanessa, Stella and the Dean.

I do not think Swift ever cared for Vanessa, and I much incline to believe that he was never married to Stella. Cadenus had his weak points. He did not disdain to be adored, and Vanessa, poor thing, was vain and flighty. Th% wildness which she betrays in her tors can soaroely be matob^ that amazing French medieval La" correspondence of the Abbess Heloisa, not to be rendered by any translation I have seen. But, to use the Gallio phrase, she was at the expense of it herself. One is reminded of the line, "Apollo flies and Daphne holds the chase," were it not that Apollo lingered a trifle too long to writo verses which he had better have left unwritten. The chase went on for how many years? And how did it end? In despair on the part of Vanessa, in heart break and unwomanly degradation. Yes, it is a sad story, but one must not oharge Swift with having aoted as a deoeiver, unless he was married long ago to another woman. Then, indeed, it will be hard, though not abeo^ lutely impossible, to defend him. ,J.~,

None can tell what passed between the dean and Vanessa during their last interview. Scott has given, but upon the merest hearsay, an account of it, which, I suppose, we could all repeat, if called upon, by heart. Yes, but would either of these proud persons have torn down the screen that hid their misery in such a case? Not Swift, we may be sura And if Vanessa was thunderstruck with the news of a marriage fatal to her, why did she not publish that as well as the poem she held in her possession? The scene is a fine piece of tragedy and will always be told. But, like many another legend, it fades, under close scrutiny, into ctoudland.— Contemporary Review. .*

House Vine*.

The old idea that vines growing on a bouse tend to make it damp is denied by some of the best authorities, who contend that just an opposite effect is produced, as the vine draws out all tbe moisture it can for food. This is said to be especially true of the Japanese ivy and the Virginia creeper, which shield the walls and so cool them, without dampness. —New York Post

His Honor's Toothache.

good story is told of Judge W. D. Greer, a prominent lawyer of Paducah. Onoe during a visit to St. Louis he had a severe attack of toothache. He sought a dentist's office and was met by young man who was scrupulously neat and clean. The latter bowed suavely, and the judge began: "I believe you profess to be able to extract teeth without pain." "Yes, sir," was the reply, "and if I don't do it I'll refund your money."

The judge was seated in the operating chair, and tbe last thing he remembers was the dentist inserting a small tube in his month. He got a dose of gas and became unconscious. When he came to, the young man was under a table, his erstwhile spotless shirt and collar cdvered with blood an$ his clothes torn almost beyond recognition. He was desperately waving the judge off, Baying all the while: "Get out of here. (Jet out of here,"

He seemed very anxious to have the judge get out, but he couldn't be induced to leave his retreat under the table. "Why, young man, what's the matter?" asked-the judge, who didn't understand the situation, in surprise. "If I've done anything, I'm willing to pay for it."

The young man obtruded his head for a moment, glanced reproaohfully about ftt the demolished furniture and his own SQrry plight, wavered for a moment atad then exclaimed: "Pay hell! You get out of here!"

It seemed that the judge, under the influence of the gas, had cleaned out the establishment, and the dentist didn't get the tooth either.—Paduoah Stand^.1

S Stone Forest of Florissant.

The silicified trees of the Florissant basin are a marked curiosity of the United States. They are less known than the "stone forest" of Arizona or than the similar mausoleum of the Yellowstone region, but it is only because they have not yet been brought to the attention of the tourist The trees are at the present time represented only by their stumps. In wandering over the green meadow the eye here and there rests upon a seemingly "bald" spot Over it are scattered white and yellow chips, and, for anything that the eye can itself distinguish, these could easily be the chips left in the path of work of a recently passing woodsman. The deception is absolute, and it belongs to the stump as well. The knots and gnarls and annular rings are perfectly preserved. The bark stands in prominent relief both by ruggedness and color, and all this not in wood, but in the monumental ^ibstance of stone. The precise manner i# which the substitution of silica for wood was effected cannot now be learned, but in a general way we know it to have been brought about as the result of a slow infiltration into the tree trunks of heated waters containing silica in so lution.

The remains are fairly numerous, but Vfhat strikes one with special astonish giant size whioh some of

Chimney* Are Fickle.

"The hardest problem the builder has to wrestle with, "said a well known member of the profession, "is the chimney. What the heathen Ohinee is to the human race and the left handed mule to the animal kingdom the chimney iB to the various appurtenances that go to make up a human habitation. There is no safe rule for the construction of chimneys. You oan build a ohimney all right in theory, but when it coqaea down to practice that is another matter. Build two chimneys side by side in precisely the same manner. Employ the best skilled labor and construct them exactly on the same principles. One may draw all right and the other one smoke like a Choctaw. Yes, sir, the chimney is beyond all understand ing, and any builder will tell you so." —New Orleans Times-Democrat

A Tnxdsfc Iady.

Every woman, rich or poor, with the least regard for her character mu9t be in her house by sundown. Only think of the long, dull winter afternoons and evenings when no friend can come near them, as all their female friends must be in their own houses, and male friends they cannot have. Even the men of their own family associate but little with them. Let ua hope that with the increase of intercourse between Europeans and Turks the life of the women must change and that as the men have dropped their oriental garb the women will in time part with the yashmak and ferejeh, and that with them their isolated lives will cease. Young Turks who have been educated in Berlin, Paris and Vienna before they marry have been heard to declare that their wives shall be free, and yet when it comes to the point they have all yielded to the tyranny of custom. Nor is there any chance of change during the reign of Abdul Hamid, whose views on the seclusion of women are very strict, scarcely a year passing without fresh laws on thicker yashmaks and more shapeless ferejeh s.

Cherry Stone Curiosities.

There is a cherry stone at the Salem, (Mass.) museum whioh contains one dozen silver spoons The stone itself is of the ordinary size, but the spoons are so small that their shape and finish can only be well distinguished by the microscope. Dr. Oliver gives an account of a cherry stone on whioh were carved 124 heads so distinctly that the naked eye oould distinguish those belonging to popes and kings and kings by their miters and crowns. It was bought in Prussia for $15,000 and thence conveyed to England, where it was considered an object of so muoh value that its possession was disputed and it became the object of a suit in chancery.
