LOVED I and LOST P I shall never forget the joy with which I received, the newB of my ap pointment. It was a year after I left tho ui?versi?yr Strange tb say, my first feeling as I received my ap pointment as teacher in the female g}-ninasium of the city of 1ST. had nothing to do with tho improve ment in our economical status which it implied, j I remember that feeling so clearly that it seems ns if it had ali happened but; an hour ago. Maybe it is ?because of tho oc currence which it foreshadowed and which was destined to leave such a deep trace on my! lifo that I recall it so vividly every time I think of it. However that may he. the first ex clamation which I made mentally xis I received a lattar announcing my appointment wai not, <fNow I shall have about 100 rubles a month!" but, "JNOW I shall teach a class of beautiful girls and fall in lovel' Do not laugh. If you had been brought up under the same condi tions, you would bein a similar flur ry. I was what is called a good; boy and never left nr, books. vVTieniin St. Petersburg, I was ever trembling lest I should fail to j pass my exam inations and thus cause mother un necessary expense and worry. Be sides, I had inherited from my fa ther a retiring, studious nature, and the very thought of young ladies would make my heart beat fast with a feeling of diffidence and timidity. iWhen I learned about the gymna sium where I was to teach physics, I beheld a class made up ?f twenty or tliirty beauties. Why all beau ties I could not have explained, but there they w?re-all young and rosy cheeked, all tall and all with bashful blue eyes. I, too, grew bashful as I thought of them in their brown dresses and black aprons. They lured me, ca ressed my soul, agitated my heart, threw me into a'disquieting ecstasy which was as novel to me as it was sweet and painful. It had taken me three hours to dress. I was to make my first ap pearance at the gymnasium, and my first lesson was in the highest class, which was made up of girls of sev enteen or eighteen. . Nb student pre paring for examination ever trem bled as I did on that morning. It was as if instead of scholars I was "to face twenty or thirty ruthless ex aminers, each with an incisive pair of eyes ready to pounce upon my poor bashful self. I could hear them giggle at my expense, make jokes about my awkwardness, my necktie, my looks. When I entered the classroom, I struck an attitude of exaggerated severity. To prove to myself that I was not afraid of the girls I spoke ridiculously loud. I almost shouted. As I went on explaining the dis tinction between chemistry and physics I frowned on my class, look ed daggers at the front row and al together behaved as if I bore them a personal grudge. "Isn't he stern?" I overheard one girl whisper to another. A thrill of pride ron through me. "You're all right," I said to myself, and, elated with the impression I had produced, I began to feel more at ease and to stride up and down the room with the manner of an old timer. I was in the seventh heaven. Two giris were talking in the rear seats. "Silence 1" I thundered. There was a suppressed chuckle at this, and my heart sank within me. I was the \ most miserable wretch in the world. . When I got home, I lay down on my lounge to think over I did not know what, and as I tried to pass the girls in review it came over me that I had not made out. a single face. I could not say whether they were pretty or homely, dark or fair. 'A blurred image of young ladies in gymnasium uniform was all I hod carried away. The next timo J. hod a lesson in the same class I called out. Mlle. Hyshldna. She had evidently given much time to her lesson, but she had it all wrong, and, strange to say, the more she blundered the more I liked to hear her recite. It. was so charming to hear her go on with the explanation which she did not understand herself. You should have heard her rattle on about phe nomena and laws. To Judge from her manner one would have thought she wes sure of her CTOund and felt able to give cards and spades to her ! teacher. Her dark brown cyeB bloz l ed willi enthusiasm, and as she re cited she gently jerked her head and now and then waved her hand. 'Ichera was grace in her movements.

The most stupid member of the eighth class waa. ? fellow mimed Krassoff.^ He did not aeem to have a clear idea aa to the difference be tween the 8izo of an angle and the length of ita sides. How they had passed him: to the highest class was more than I could understand. But he was very diligent, and his strug gles with Iiis geometry , (we were re viewing the curriculum of the lower clasBes for the final exaniinations) touched my heart. I was so madly ?L. love that I seemed to bo mutely praying every body to help mo convey my feeling to the young lady to whom I dared not speak except in the stern ac cents of a teacher addressing II?B pu pil. I had never been in such a meek, almost tearful, mood. I was the kindest mon in the world, and every sufferer or victim aroused my eympathy. I invited Krassof? to my nouse, gave him a few private lessons, patiently went over tho ele ments of the subject with him> and, flushed with success, I spoke to i him of my past and got him to tell me about himself. i Outside of his studies he proved to be quite a sensible fellow. He even had a sort of humor which I thought delightful. I also liked his honest face and his manly figure. AB to him, he was rather shy and slow to cast off all restraint, but one evening, after a few hearty words from me, the ice suddenly broke, and he said: "Ah, Semyon Semyonovitcb, I know I am stupid and that ifs no use etudying. But I am in love with an angel, and it is for her sake that I am sitting ur? nights, trying to drive my lessons through this iron forehead. She would take me as 1 am. She said so. But I pledg ed myself to be an educated man, to be worthy of her." "Tell me who she is," I command ed him, pressing his hand and all but falling on his nec^ and kissing him. It was all I could do to keep myself from giving away my own secret. "You know her," he answered. "She is your scholar. It's Mlle. Eyshkina. She says you are an an ? gel." I let go his hand. I felt as though I the floor was giving way under me, but at the next moment I was over come with fear lest he should divine the cause of my sudden change, and, putting on a mask, I fell to clap ping my hands. "Bravo ? Glad to hear it, old boy !" I shouted. Of course my voice did not ring true, but Krassoff was in a ferment of all sorts of feelings, so he did not notice it. ?L . ' * * . > . ?far" . Eight years have passed. Kras soff is practicing law. He is quite successful, and often as I moke my way home after lessons I meet Ma ria Vasilyevna driving. I don't call on them. Am I still in love? I hardly think I am. But so far I have not been interested in any oth er woman in the same way in which I was in her. Maybe I had in me just love enough for one attach ment; maybe I am still destined to love and to be loved. At all events, my heart feels so empty, so empty! An, if you knew how hard it is to live as I do ! Sacred Cats In Egypt. Herodotus Bays that 'when a cat died a .natural death in on Egyptian house the occupants of the dwelling went into mourning and shaved off their eyebrows. When a fire occur red, they were moro anxious to save the cats than to extinguish the con flagration. Nevertheless in some parts of the same country cats were regarded as unclean animals, for a creature which was considered sa cred in one town was often viewed with horror as impure in a neigh boring city. That was the case with the crocodile in Egypt, which in some parts was ruthlessly hunted and destroyed, while in others it was made a pet" of, laden with gold orna ments and waited upon by priests. A Surgeon's Blunda.. Eugene Sue, who in his youth \Taa for some time an army Burgeon, one day dined "not wisely, but too well/'* with his friend Bomieu at tho Cafe de Paris. Afterward as they saun tered on the boulevards Bomieu fell and injured his leg. Sue got a cab, put his friend in and drove home, where he carefully dressed tho wound and then retired to bed. Next morning he hastened to exam ine the wound, only to discover that he had tended the wrong leg. Something That Will do You Good.

THE WANDERING JEW. Some of th? Legenda About Th!? Pig* ure In Sacred History. There ax? many legends that tell the story of the Wandering Jew. The old Jewish story is that Car taphilo8, the bookkeeper of the Judgment hall under tl io employ of Pontius Pilate, struck our Lord as he was led from the hall,, saying: "Go faster! Got on!" Jesus turn ed to him and said, "I go, but you tarry until I como again." Cursed though ho was, ho afterward became a Christian and was baptized. *In tradition ho 6till lives, falling-into a protracted tranco every thirty years. Another legend tells us that Je sus, almost overcome by tho weight of tho cross as he was carrying it to tho place of execution, stopped be fore the 6hop of a cobbler and rested his hand against tho wall of the building. This enraged tho cobbler, whose name was Ahasuerus, to such an extent that ho threw a last at tho Man of Sorrows, crying to him : ? "Get oil! Away with youl" Jesus rebuked him, saying, "I go and go quickly, but commanci thoo to wan der over tho earth mtil tho. judg ment day." This last legend is tho one given by Paul VOA Eitzen, bish op of Sl?8wick, in the year 1547. A third legend saw that Ahasue rus had been detailed to bring Jesus into the Judgment hall of x-iiate and that he was rushing our Lord along at a swift gait when Jesus com- j plained of weariness and requested j to sit down on a stone by the way side. This request was refused by tho heartless wretch, who exclaim ed: ?<Move on, Jesus, movo on! Thou shalt not rest!" Jesus replied, "I go my way unto everlasting rest, but thou shalt go away and never rest until I return to eaT ;h again." What Wit lo. Dr. Isaac Barrow, a famous Eng lish divine and a man of brilliant wit himself, gave tho best definition of wit yet known, and ho confessed that "often it consisteth in one hardly knows what." He said in his, old fashioned style: "Sometimes it lieth in a pat allu sion to a known* story or in season able application of a trivial saying or in forging an opposite tale. Sometimes it playeth in words and phrases, taking advantage from, tho ambiguity of their sense or the af finity of their sound. Sometimes it lurketh under an odd similitude. Sometimes it is lodged in a sly ques tion, in a smart answer, in a quirk ish reason, in a shrewd imitation, a tart irony, a lusty hyperbole or a startling metaphor. Sometimes an affected simplicity and sometimes a presumptuous bluntness giveth it being. Sometimes it arises from a lucky hitting upon what is strange; sometimes from a crafty wrestling of obvious matter to tho purpose." A Wonderful Dress. On the occasion of a garden party at Benares, given by the viceroy, a wonderful dress was worn by the Countess Palovolovetsch, which ex cited much admiration. Seen from near at hand the gown seemed to be' made up of tongues of blue nome, with occasional streaks of bright light flashing across and all resting on a bed of liquid fire. Then tho appearance would change, and its wearer seemed to be wrapped in multicolored flame. It was noticed -that'1 the countess never sat down, but was constantly on th e moy e. During her peregrinations a friend asked ner about her marvelous cos tume and discovered that it was a simple gown of rich brocade orna mented with fireflies. There were 535 of these little creatures, each in a tiny net, fastened to tho dress. Your Eye In a Mirror. A very curious fact is tho impossi bility of moving your eye while ex an-ining the reflection of that organ in a mirror. It is really -the mes. movable purs of the face, yet if you hold your head fixed and try to move your eye while watching it you cannot do it even the one-thou sandth of an inch. Of course ii you look at the reflection of tho nose or at any other part of tho taco your eye must move to see it. But the strange tiling is that the moment you endeavor to perceive the motion the eye is fixed. This is one of thc reasons why a person's expression as seen by himself in a glass is quite different from what it is when seen by others. y -" --? ?. A Reminiscence of Wegner. Dr. Mason, the well known musi cian, in his volume of reminiscences gives an interesting account of his visit to Richard Wagner. When ho was leaving, tho composer of "Der "Bing des -Nibelungen" handed him a theme written on a staff mode by his own hand, bidding the young pianist, if he ever heard anything like that, to remember him. It aft erward turned out that this theme was tho familiar "dragon" motive from the ,<ring" dramas, but in the iorm in which it appears only in the second act of "Siegfried." At the time when tho composer gave it to Dr. Mason the drama was yet un known to the world. CASTOR 5 A For Infanta and Children.

Three Hour? of Queer Dichos and Pe- G oullar Combination*. ? For tho first courso were banded { sugared cakes, caviare, fried grass hoppers, dried fruits and Ningpo j oysters. Then followed successive- j ly at short intervals ducks', pigeons' ? and peewits' eggs poached, swal- i lows' nests with mashed eggs, fric- i assecs of ginseng, stewed stur- ( geons' gills, whales' sinews with sweet sauce, fresh water tadpoles, fried crabs' spawn, sparrows' giz zards, sheep's eyes stuffed with gar lic, radishes in milk flavored with apricot kernels, matelotes of holi thurias, bamboo sprouts in sirup and owoet salads, says Tho Leisure Hour. Tho last courso consisted of pine apples from Singapore, carthnuts, salted almonds, savory mangoes, tho white, fleshy fruits or tho long yen, the pulpy fruits of the Utchee, chest I nuts and preserved oranges from 1 Canton. After tho dessert rico was nerved, which the guests raised to their mouths with little chopsticks, according to tho custom of their country. Three hours were spent over tho banquet When it was ended and at the time when, according to Euro ?ean usage, salvers of rosewater aro requently handed round, tho wait ing maids brought napkins steeped in warm water, which all tho com pany rubbed over their faces appar ently with great satisfaction. Old Marriage Manner?. The French "dot" comes proba bly from tho small coin which tho Koman brido brought with her to her husband's house. The modern scramble for tho bride's bouquet comes from a simi lar scramble that took place at the close of the ancient ceremony, when the guests fought good naturedly .over the white thorn torch that lind been borne in tho bridal procession, The most marked difference be tween old and new ideas lies in thc fact* that a part of June was forbid den the Romans as a time for wed dings. From tho let to tho 15tl tho month was sacred to Vesta, ant no marriages were permitted, al though Vesta herself was thc god dess of domesticity. May, too, va: prohibited, and this is thought t< be the reason why May marriage still aro considered unlucky. Ro man belief and customs forbade th ceremony also from tho 13th to th 24th jf February, from tho 1st b the 6th of March, on the 24th o August, tho 5th of October and th 6th of November, three days whe: hades w?3 supposed to be partier larly wide open. " The Earthquake. To the average resident of th temperate zones an earthquake is rare and terrible event, creatin more consternation than any otht visitation of nature. In the tropic however, particularly in Centn America, it is wonderful how easil ihn residents become accustomed t these shocks, which do not com however, wholly without warning.

Tho repetition of two tunes without seeking a change proves something, and tho rancor ous character of tho Neapolitan voice proves more.

For example, R'issia is tho natural homo of tho basso profundo; Spain is tho coun try of tenors and has been from tho time of imperial Rome, when tho Gaditanian (Cadiz) singers brought high prices in tho slavo market; France produces mezzo sopranos in profusion,Enc;land contraltos/Amer ica sopranos, Naples pure screamers, and no ono as yet knows why.-Mu sical Record and Review.
