The housemaid had found it in an old cedar box in the attic and put it beside a volume of Dickens on the mid dle shelf of t ? library book-case. It was a little, square, green-covered, dog eared, round-cornered geography. It was published when the art of geo graphy-making was, comparatively speaking, in its infancy. Its maps had owe seas, green, red, white, yellow, purple, brown and many other colored lands, and it was embellished with odd pictures of still odder people dressed more singularly still who have become entirely extinct long before the artist who drew them died, if the geographies of the present day are reliablo in their illustrations. The advent of this old-fashioned vol erne among the richly-bound books in the library caused a flutter of excite ment not unmingled with indignation. "I can't see for the life of me," ex claimed a collection of Matthew Ar nold's essays, "why this common book should force himself upon our com pany." "Ho, nor V' responded the Dickens novel sharply. "If this library is to be turned into "a literary junk shop we might as well be in a second-hand store at once." "Yes. indeed," echoed in unison a row of Scott's novels, which stood like a line of British soldiers with bright red suits, on an opposite shelf. "Come, what have you got to say for yourself?" inquired grufi" old Ben Jon son. "What made you stick yourself in here against our consent?" "I didn't want to come," answered the geography mildly. "Indeed I didn't It wasn t my fault. I was lying in the old cedar chest in the attic where I have lain /er since she grew up and where I would have been now but-" She?" interrupted Dickens. "Who is she, pray?" "Why, don't you know her?" replied the geography in amazement **I thought you must know her. She used to study me when she was a little pink faced girl, years and years aga She and Jack studied me together. They were very fond of me, and I suppose that is the reason I have been kept so long," "Jack?" again inquired the inquisi tive Dickens, "who is 'Jack'?" "Jack,* continued the geography, en thusiastically, "was the handsomest boy I ever knew, and I knew a whole generation of boys and girls too. I ought to know them well, for I was read, thumbed and studied by them for nearly forty years before Jack found me on the book shelf in his father's library, where his older brother had left me when he finished school and went to sea." "That doesn't explain how you hap pened to be here," interposed Ben Jon eon, rudely. "Come, tell us that" "I was just about to tell you," con tinued the geography. "You see. Jack took me to school with him the very first day he went there- It was the lit tle red school-house under the hill. Ton probably know it No? 1 thought everyone knew where that was. The master was very strict and very cruel, so I used to think, and every day he need to whip nearly all the boys and keep half the girls in at recess. Just because they whispered, and I tell you that boys and girls can't keep from whispering in school any more than from breathing. I said 'nearly all' the boys. Jack was one he didn't whip. Why? Jack was a cripple. How did that happen? I'll tell you. Philiis? she was Jack's sweetheart?was the prettiest girl in all the school- She was younger than Jack jt a year. He was twelve and she eleven, and they loved each other just as much as people a good deal older than they were, if not a little more. One day after school Jack and Philiis were sliding down the school-house hilt on Jack's big sled. The master was out watching them. The road didn't run straight down the bill, but wound around down through a sroaH grove of trees. Tb ? road had been covered with water and was ice from top to bottom, and the sleds ?ew faster than the wind as they went down. This afternoon Philiis sat in the front of the sled, her little red stockings curled up under her drees, while Jack held on behind-and steered with his leg. They started?the last slide they had?from the top, and were going faster than they had ever gone before, when Philiis gave a little scream and caught hold of the sled tighter than ever. Jack looked over her shoulder and saw a log sled, piled high with logs, crossing the road. How fast they were going, and how slow it crept along! The seconds seemed like years. They couldn't possibly turn out, for it was in the middle of the grove. It didn't take Jack long to make up his mind what to do. With a quick sweep of his leg he turned the sled sideways. He couldn't stop it but he could make * theend where he sat hit the logs tirst A second later Piiiilis was lying in a little frightened heap in the snow by the roadside unhurt, but Jack was stretched out, white and senseless, under his sled by the side of the big runners of the log-eled. "The master nicked him un and carried nim to the scnooi-house. Then be sent for Jack's father, who was the country doctor. After Jack opened his eyes and knew any one he was carried home, and he didn't lerve it ail winter long. His back was injured, so they said. The next spring he was able to go to school again, but he couldn't play with the other boys- Iiis crutches were in the way, and no matter how much be whispered the master never whipped him. He never wanted to. either, for most every one loved Jack, lie used to sit with little Philiis, and they learn ed their lessons out of mc During recess they would open me at the map of Europe and mark out the trip they were going to take when they grow up and were married. They were going to Paris where Jack was going to be cured. Then they would live in Italy a ear or so on the banks of a beautiful ike, and they would be so happy ?hat they wouldn't care whether they had any money or not" Well," observed Dickens, when the geography paused a moment to breathe, "did they marry?'' "No." returned the other sadly. "The next year Jack died and was buried in the little church-y?rd behind the village church. Philiis' father preached the sermon at the fun.-ral and the whole school put flower* on the grav<\ For while Pliil?s w.ns inconsolable, but such grief never lasts ry long, so Tve learned, and before the school days were over sh? was \<\, as cheery and more beautiful than ever before, i was laid away years be?vr* s':e crew up? laid away very c ?v?l?v--lor Phi His never forgot the secrets that ishared With her. But 1 haven't seen her for years. I don't roa l? know what has b**eome of her. Sins brought ine to this house witii her over in the old chest ?-" At this moment the library door opened and there entered the mistress o? the house, a slight, handsome wo man, with a sweet face and silver hair; "I thought I heard a noiso on the book shelves,17 she said, "but I don't see anything there to make it now. Perhaps it mignt have been a mouse. I'll look for ir. Why!" she exclaimed, as she seized the oid geography and drew it out of its place, "how* did this dear old book ever come down here? I thought I had lost it years ago." Sitting down near the table she opened the well-worn leaves. When she came to the old-time map of Europe, criss-crossed by pencil marks her face softened, and as she bended over to kiss the soiled and disfigured continent two tear drops were mingled with the blue waters of the sea. "I think," whispered Dickens to Matthew Arnold, as he nodded in the direction of the old geography, "I think 1 know, now, why the geography was kept so long." "Yes," softly echoed the red-coated line of Scott, "Yes; we think you do." ?Benjamin 2?orthu}\ in New York Graphic A Substitute for Sugar, The scientific world is just now inter ested in a recent discovery by which coal-tar is made into sugar. Tue enter prise originated in Germany, but is at tracting general attention in this coun try. Dr. T. C Minor, who keeps posted on everything, was called upon to give some facts on coal-tar sugar. "The new substitute for sugar," re marked Dr. Minor, "is called sacchar ine, and is really a product of coal-tar. It will add an additional value to the refuse of gas-works. Its discoverer was Fohlberg, who formerly lived in the east, but resides at the present time, I j think, in Hamburg." "Has the new substance been intro duced to commerce?" "Not to any large extent, owing to its cost, for it is worth about $12 per pound. Yet one pound of saccharine wail sweet en ten thousand pounds of waver." "How is it prepared for the sugar market?" "The preparation used in Europe is an admixture of glucose and dextrin, j One pound of saceharine will convert j two thousand pounds of glucose into I the very best grade of ordinary table sugar; that is, it wiil resemble table su gar as regards sweetness without the nutritious qualities of the real article." "You don't mean to say that there is no nutrition in saccharine, doctor?" "Yes; it has little or no nutritious property, and is merely an adulterant." "Is it likely that it will be ever used on a large scale as an adulterant in the United States?" **Of course," replied Dr. Minor, "when the process of making the sac charine is cheapened. I would be will ing to predict that every large gas works in the country wiil be selling sac charine as a refuse principle in the next twenty years, and that there will be enough profit in the business to make illuminating gas for nothing; in other words, the present gas-works will be a saccharine manufacturing establish ment, while the refuse will be illuminat ing gas, Analine colors and ammonia salts will be made under the same roof as the coal-tar from which the saccha rine is devolved." "What is the process of making sac charine, doctor?" "That question can be answered bet ter by a chemist," said Dr. Minor. "It is usual, however, to take what is called the toluene in coal-tar and treat this substance with phosphorns-pentach loride; it is the cost of this other article that renders the manufacture of saccha rine so expensive. Yet. even as expen sive as it is, a quality of sugar can now be manufactured even cheaper than New Orleans cane sugar." "Wh?t will be the result of this new I adulterant?"' i "It will cheapen the cost of sweeten I ing materials in groceries and candies j and will enhance the value of real cane I sugar, just as the price of pure butter j has been increased by that vile adul teration, oleomargarine; The woffcing people, who now pay 2 1-2 cents tax on every pound of sugar they consume, can enjoy glucose, the product of corn, adul terated with saccharine, which has no nutritious qualities. ' Pure butter, pure sugar, and pure milk will always cost a large price, and only be within reach of the wealthy. Why, even modern Chi cago lard is now said to be largely made from cotton-seed oil." "How about coffee and tea, doctor?" Coffee in the berry unbrowned and ungrouud can not be imitated, but three-fourths of the ground coffee on the market are adulterated. As for tea, Ceylon is now the great producing country for cheap teas, which are palm ed off in Europe for line Chinese goods. Ceylon teas lack much of the theine or active principle of tea that is found in ? the genuine Hong Kong chops." ! "Returning to the subject cf sugar, doctor, you really think that the future gas-works wiil manufacture saccha rine?" "Gas and sugar are equivalents, chemically and politically," replied the M. D. "Ask the committee on light in the city council. Good afternoon."? Cincinnali Enquirer. Fanny Thing* In America, Eugene Fasquelle, a staff correspon dent of the Paris Gd a*, has been in the city. He has been in America only since Tuesday week. He is a young man, of handsome appearance and pleasant manners, with vigorous physi que and black hair and eyes. II?; chat ted last evening with a press reporter m the lobby of the Continental and gave some of his impressions of tuo country in quaint Parisian English. "I am just on a running visit," said he, "and am confining my work to hu morous incidents in American life.

Mr. Chase was ro speai; eue night at a litt lo school-house some miles from Cincinnati, and notice had been served ?nhira that if he did he would bo mob bed. This had no effect on Chase. He was a brave man, and a tarent of vio lence only made him the inore deter mined to till his appointment. Finding our persuasion of no effect we armed ourselves and made part of the little crowd assembled in the school house to hear the anti-slavery advocate. Save ourselves the audience was mostly made up of the long-haired men and short haired women peculiar to all reformai The room was small and lighted by a few tallow dips, which flared and sput tered from the air through the open windows, for it was summer. The meeting being organized, Mr. Chase was introduced and began his argu ment. Ixe was a iinent speaker, and had a voice more gattural than resonant. With few gestures, he spoke in an even, unemotional way, as if addressing a court Ho got little aid from the ex pression of his line face, for, being ex tremely near-sighted, he had a way of contracting his eyelids, as if he were turning his sight on in himself. He had uttered but a few sentences, how ever, before a wild yell from outside, which seemed to go up from every quar ter, startled tho little audience. And ?Limediatelv several eggs were thrown in, with great torce, tnrough the wmv dows. The audience rose to its feet, tb.8 women screamed, more in wrath than fear, and the men gave utterance to more profanity than I thought the fanatical were capable of. We of the bodyguard rushed out, firing our pistols right and left, doing no harm that I ever heard of, but patting the ruffians so effectually to flight that we had no further interruption of that sort Pistols were things not counted on by the crowd accustomed to ride over aboli tionists without resistance. When wo returned to the house Mr. Chase was wipiug a rotten egg from his bosom with a delicate liuen handkerchief, and he then went on with his speech, with no other sign upon him than a height ened color of his handsome face.? North American Review. Where He Hid His Money. Speaking of his business of hunting for lost treasure, Capt Bridgewater told me yesterday how he had been seni to New Hampshire to hunt for the money of a retired sea captain who died very suddenly. He said: The captain had been a queer sort of a man, very taci turn, and always taking trips out of town after his money. He wasn't a miserly man, and I concluded that he hadn't buried it. He slept in no one particular place, and I was pretty sure that there was no place in the house where he felt better contented than another. So I said: "Bring his clothes." We went over thein. The binding of one of his coats was wide, and his wife said as I tore it off: **He always sewed his clothes up himself. He was as handy as a. woman with a needle. Queer." She added, "Why he always wanted to wear that suit to the last Poor dear!" and she dropped a tear. In the meantime I had pulied out an oiled silk pocket holding six bonds for $1.000 each, and we found eighteen more in the same suit His trips out of town meant something, you see.?New York News. How many people, says the Hartford Times, ever think of the weakening ef fect of the word "very" in talking or writing? There arc but few cases where it strengthens an idea. For instance, take this sentence: "Mrs. Blank is a very fine writer." How much stronger the sentence is without the "very." To say that a man is very well known indi cates that he is less known than one of whom wo say "He is well known.5' This weakening element is a character istic of the word "very." The same might be said of all superfluous words i though few. if any, are so persistently of that character as the word in ques tion. Bowers Used the Pass. 'The Union Pacific folks were awful glad when a certain man died in Omaha the other day," said one of the agents of that line. "His mimo was Bowers. About a, dozen years ago he saved a train from running into a washout near his farm, and the Union Tacine folks felt grateful io ili m. Mr. Clark, who was then Superintendent but who is now with the Milwaukee and St Paul Road,"sent for Bowers and offered him $500. Bowers modestly declined the money, but when Mr- Chirk proposed to make him a pass good for the rest of his life he said he didn't object. When Clark was engaged making out the pass Bowers said: 'Would you mind mak ing out the pass good for a friend.? I might want to go to Salt Lake City some day and take a friend of mine down to'see my uncle.' "Of course, Mr. Clark felt so grateful he 'didn't mind' making it out good for a friend; in fact, he was willing to do most anything at that time. The pass was sent up to headquarters, where it received the signatures of the President and General Passenger Agent and was returned to Bowers. "Weil, , what do you think? For twelve years he has been riding from Omaha to Salt Lake City, from Salt Lake C;ty to Ogden, and other points on the line, and never alone. He al ways had a 'friend' with him. The friend was usually some commercial traveler, lu short, Bowers had made railroad riding a regular business for the past twelve years. He made arrange ments with various wholesale and job bing houses to carry the:r - men, and booked his engagements months ahead sometimes. When these failed he pick ed up stray passengers here and there. After paying Iiis sleeping-car and other expenses he bad from ??3 to $?5 a day, clear proiit.

Many were discovered by acci dent. Others came to light as the result of patient experiment and research. Nervous Dyspepsia is a com paratively new disease, growing out of the conditions of modern life. It is a joint affection of the digestive organs and of the nervous system. These two were formerly treated as sepa rate ailments, and it was left for the clear-sighted Shakers to prove that the basis of this terrible and often fatal compli cation lies chiefly in the disord ered and depraved functions of digestion and nutrition. They reasoned thus :?"If we can in duce the stomach to do its work, and stimulate the excre tive organs to diive out of the body the poisonous waste mat ters which remain after the life giving elements of the food bave been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous Dys pepsia and Nervous Exhaust ion. And they were right.
