" I won't be more* than ten minutes," ho said, and left Komavne and Stella together. She was attired with her customary love of simplicity. White lace was the only ornament on her dress of delicate j rs%ery gray. Her magnificent hair was left to plead its own merits, without ornament of any sort. Even the brooch which fastened her lace pelerine was of plain gold only. Conscious that she (was snowing ner beauty to tne greaies; advantage in the eves of a man of taste, she betrayed a little of the embarrassment which Romayne had already noticed at the moment wh?n she gave him her hand. They were alone; and it was the first time she had seen him in evening dress. It may be that women have no positive aprieciation oi what is beautiful B in form and color, or it may be that m they have no opinions of their own I when the laws of fashion have spoken. L This at least is certain, that not one I of them ir a thousand sees anything objectionable in the gloomy and hideous I evening costum? of a gentleman in the I nineteenth century. A handsome man f is, to their eyes, more seductive than ft ever in the contemptible black coat ana | tlie stiff white cravat which he wears in B common with the servant who wo its on B laim at table. After a stolen glance at Uomayne, Stella lost all confidence in herself?she began taming over tlie B photographs on the table. The momentary silence which folk lowed their first greeting became inW tolerable to her. Rather' than let it 5 continue, she impulsively confessed the 6 uppermost idea in her mind when she I entered the room. K" I thought I heard my name wiien l ^me in," she said. " TVere you and jord Loring speaking of me?" Eomayne owned without hesitation hat they had been speakiug of her. She smiled, and turned over another >hotograph. But when did sun-picn roc 05 a r Astrai nt nn a woman's Ifcuriosity ? The words passed her lips in fcpite of her. " 1 suppose I musn't ask v :iat you were saving ?" ' It was impossible to answer this plain!v wiihout entering _into explanations fromTyhich Komayne shrank": jje She turned over another photograph. "I understand," she said. "You tvere talking of my faults." She paused, and stole ano'her looh at him. "I will "ry to correct my faults if you will toil je what they are." !

The answer to this was decid- . I edly I tJio nep^ci.-e. Mr. Iioraayne ; ami Miss. ~ "tonrt had de^'inM to ; taste it. ~ 1 had tried it, and had j left it r ,:e. In? lady alone had . j really er share of the misplaced j dish. liawug stated this apparently j ; trivial circumstaiu-e, the head servant; ; was- surprised bv the efleet which it pro- i ; duced on the housekeeper. Rue leaned ; back in her chair and closed her eyes, ; with an appearance of unutterable en: joyinent. That there was one j supremely happy woman in London ; i and her name was Miss Xotman. i Ascending from the housekeeper's I room to the drawing room, it is to bo | further reported that music was tried, as a means of getting through the time ; in the absence of general conversation. Lady Loring sat down at the piano | and played as admirably as usual. At the other end of the room Romayne and i Stella sat together, listening to th9 | music. Lord Loring, walking backi ward and forward with a restlessness | which was far from being characteristic i of him in his a ft**** dinner hours, -rc-as ! stopped when he rcached, the neighborj hood of the piano by a private signal i from his wife. " W: a: un you walking about for?" j ; Lady Loring asked in a whisper, with- ! { out interrupting her musical perform- j j ance. "Im not quite easy, my dear." j " Turn over the music. Indiges- j i tion?" i " Good heavens, Adelaide, what a ! question." "Well, what i-s it, than?" Lord Loring looked toward Stella j 1 rtr>/l Ua* AAiwn.tntAn I \ C?UU lid . I "They don't seem to get on together j | as well as I had limped," he said. I "I should think not?when you are j walking about and disturbing them! ' Sit down there behind me." " "What am I to do?" " Am I not playing? Listen to me." "My dear, I don't understand :nodern German music." "Then read the evening pa])or." The evening paper had its attractions. | Lord Loricg took his wife's ad /ice. Left entire!v bv themselves at the j * | otlicr end of llio room, Ilomayne and j Stella justified Lady Loring\s belief in J the re.valt of reducing her husband to a j state of repose. Stella ventured to ; speak iiiit, in a discreet undertone. "Do you pass most of your evenings I alone, -*lr. Romayne?" " Not quite alone. I Lave the com- j pany of my books." "Are your books the companion that; you like b^st?" " I have been true to those compan- J ions, Eyre court, for many years, j If the cocior* are to be believed, my j books have nor treated me very v.*clt in j -return. They ba^er broircn doror my | ! health, and have made me. J. am airaici, | I a very unsocial man." He seemed J j about to say more, and suddenly checked I I the impulse. "Why am I talking oi j j mvself ?" lie resumed, with a smile. "I j never do it at other t:mes. Is this another result oi y-jur inGuence over | me?" He put the question with an assumed ! gayely. Stelia made no effort, on hex j side, to answer him in the same tone. "J aluio t wish I really had some influence ovff?iavciy a-<3 sadly. r "Why?' "I should try to induce you to shut ; up your boohs, and choose some living j companion who might restore you to j your happier self." ''It is already done," said Romayne; i " I have a nex companion i:i Mr. Pen- j rose." "Penrose?' she repeated. "He is j the friend, is ho not, of the priest hera. i whom thev cali Father Ben-.veil ?" "Yes."' " I don't like Father Bemvcll." i " Is that a reason for disliking Mr. j ^Penrose ?" A " Yes." she said, boldly, " because he j Ks Father Benwell's friend."

The finding at Thebes of thirtv-nin mummies of Egyptian royal and priestl; personages, which has been hailed h Europe as the greatest archajologica discovery since Sir Henry Lavard's rc searches at Nineveh, grows in impoj tance. Two-thirds of the mummies ar now identified by means of the inscrif tions upon their cases and the mant scripts found. They are, for the mof part, kings and queens, with their chii dren, ranging through four dynastie: beginning with the seventieth and enc ing with the twenty-first; or, stating: roughly, from 2,000 to 1,700 B.C.

The mill ^itself, says the reporter, is a model of^compactness and { convenience, and its l^ation is one of ' | the prettiest in the country, shaded by [ ! gigantic trees, and fanned by the valley , ! breezes. The first fioerof ihcbuildiner , j is used for the packing, shipping and ' ! finishing of the paper,^the superinten' ! dent's private office, the examining rooms, ' ; and the rooms where the cutting and s ! counting is done. . ! The drying rooms are. on the upper . I floor, where the paper fhangs in little bunches as clothes lipon a clothc-s * horse. In the basement is the (,b:g 3 machine," where the paper is made from the pulp coming from the upper t mill of Crane k Co. Bj a peculiar procesr, best known to the%ovemment and r to the Messrs. Crane, the contractors and owners of the mill, the paper is 1 made to take into itselfan arrangement r of silken threads placed at random, and j in straight lines. Thi3^Q0ff^tis:^g| j inal witti the Cranes, ^ ! plicated unless a machine similar to the one in use is procured. ' The ^orks are 1 so well guarded that i: is impossible * for anyone to remain tang enongli in ? the mill to obtain the process by which this grade of paper is iiimnfactured. a Every sheet of papLr is carefully counted, every night1 the count is handed to the superintendent, and if one sneet or a iracnon 01 a haeet is lounu 10 1 be missing, no one is allowed to leave - the building until the l&st sheet is dis0 covered. The utmost care is exercised in the manufacture of the paper. The workmen are selected from the oldest " in the business, most of them have, 1 with their father before.them, been in . the employ of the Cranes. Every sheet, 0 and piece of a sheet, which has been ^ j spoiled, and all the trimmings of the s I paper, are taken up-staws and cut into 7 | tine pieces, utterly destroying them, so f far as being used is concerned, except x to be made over again ifcto paper. After the sheets are counted, the pay per is put into packages of one thousand sheets. These packages weigh about 5 eleven pounds each. The paper is " packed in iron-bound boxes and shipped . to the Treasury at "Washington. Each 1 sheet is just large enough to make four 3 bank bills. The manufacture of this peculiar kind ' of paper was begun in the fall of 1879, Knf i ( tttoc? oir rv?r\Y\tV?c? + -r\?.v I UUb IV TT AO OiA iiiUUlUO Li* V MWl I f-?cted grade of paper was accomplished. 1 i Tho work of making the paper is under j | the direction of the Messrs. Crane, who r | have taken the contract of supplying r the government with all the paper used 3 in the making of notes, bank bills, and' all paper representing money. The - paper is all made by the same process, , but the different uses to which the pay per is put reqnires a change in the weight. Few visitors arc allowed to in] spect the mills, and while within the 1 building they are watched, every pre> caution being taken to guard against a ; i piece of paper being taken. So far no . trouble has been experienced, and to' day the government is protected mora ' than ever from the raids of counter j feiters. 1 | POPU L .1R"SCI?>* CE. ; !

A - congress on the education of the deaf i and dumb was lately opened at Bordeaux, and during the sittings M. Clav, eau published a series of articles in which lie endeavored to prove that tlie art of teaching the dumb to speak is as > old as the latter part of the ninth cen> tury ; that it vas invented and practiced by St. John, of Beverley, Archbishop of York, England, and that it was explained in the writings of the Venerable Bede. " M. Roman, a French engineer, states ' that the cultivation of the interesting plant, the Soja or Soya, has been largely developed in Hungary and in various I parts O: France. He thinks that it may in the future become as important an article of food as the potato. It grows 3 in any soil, even the divest, and the z plant is an excellent fodder for cattle. ! The seeds are very nutritious, and have j the form of small kidney beans. An { agreeable soup may be made of them. ' The Chinese use them for various kinds 0 of cheese, to make a condiment with " oil, etc. In France, the seeds have been ^ roasted like coffee, and M. Roman says 1 the decoction of the Soja bean is very [ ; similar to that of average coffee. -1 The Anthropological Society ofiFrance e i had recntly under discussion the ques >-! tion whether the dog descends from the t- j wolf.

SI1TIXG BULL'S JHESS1GE. A Verbatim! Report of the Sioux Chiefs I>le?*ai:e to ilie " Great Father " Through an Indian United States Census Azcnc. The following speech was written ; down, at the dictation of Sitting Bull, I bv Mr. William Selwyn, a full-blooded 1 Dakota Indian, who is employed by the j | Government in taking the census of the j ! Indian tribes in Dakota. It was written J out by him in the Dakota language and | then translated by him, and, as he is a | well-educated young man, ana an es-1 teemed member of one of the Dakota Indian missionary bodies, his words are to be relied upon : THE MESSAGE I am the son of the He-Topa (Four Horns, late a chief of the Uncapabas,) and it is said that he was one of your relatives; so, then, you are a younger brother to me (sunfcachiye.) You are a fuli-blooded Dakota, but you adopt the ways of the whites, and I he^r that you have been employed by the Great Father. %. For the last few years I have been in of living. God made me to live on the flesh of the buffalo; so I thought I would stay out there as long as there were buffalo enough for us. But the Great Father sent for roe several times, and although I did not know why ho wanted mo to come down at last, I consented to do so. I never, raj self, made war against the children of the Great Father, and I never sought a light with them. While I was looking for buffalo, they would attack and shoot at me. and of course I had to defend myself or else I should die. But all the blame is put on me. I have always thought that the Dakotas were all one body; and I wanted to make an agreement with them to come and settle down. "While I have been in the North, here and there, a good many little things have happened, and I have been bJamed for them ; but I know that I am innocent. Those men who have made the trouble ought to be blamed. Everybody knows that I was not going to stay at the North any longer, but that when the buffalo disappeared I should make up my mind to i I come down. Although yon arc a Dakota, yon are i employed by the Great Father; therej fore I want yon to let him hear my | words. "When I first came down, white I men came to me almost every day to get | some words out of me, but I said: "^'o! i When I settle down I shall say some ! words to the Great Father."

It is a fact not generally known, but a fact, neve:theless, that there is a special class of criminals in this city devoted to the spoliation of boardinghouses, and that these boarding-house thieves include some of the most adroit, intelligent and ^crooked" people in the i.._i a * i_ i .ii.. iJ wuiitiY, j-ii'j eiueu;. 10 wxiiu:i me i<uialords and landladies of the metropolis are looted on by them would be difficult to approximate. For eve 17 one case which comes to light, a dozen are suppressed ; for nothing gives a boarding, house a bad name as quickly as public knowledge of the fact that it has been the prey of these social vultures. Next to never having been stuck with a trunkful of bricks and old iron, nothing delights a boarding-hous9 keeper's soul as much as the ability to state that she or he has never been a victim to the thief. Those who can make this boast are few, indeed, for the boarding-honse thief has been pretty nearly everywhere where he has found it worth his while tensively employed on such cases, said, las; week, to the iVerrs reporter: "I know one row of swell boardinghouses up-town, every one of which has been worked by the gang, and several of them not once, but twice and even oftener. Yet, of the lot, only two carried their cases into court. Last week, I was called in to do some fine work for a lady who conducts a boarding-house on Fifth avenue. One of her guests baa been robbed of a pair of solitaires, worth 31,100, and some less expensive trinkets. The author of the robbery was believed to be a stylish young woman who had lived in the house for a week and been sent away because her character was found to be objectionable. I traced the girl and found that she was totally innocent. She v?as wild, but not a thief. I was in a quandary till the landlady accidentally mentioned an elderly gentleman who had visited the house in search of rooms, and of whom siie had not the slightest suspicion. From her description I identified a well-known confidence man and boarding-house thief whom we had never been able to get dead to rights yet. Neither did we this time. I traced the solitaries to a pawnshop, where he had put them up for six hundred, and got them back, but he had vanished and has not been heard of since." "But how did he get them V asked the reporter. "By the inquiry lay. This is a favorite method of work with the boardinghouse thieves. They drop in to find rooms, and are shown over the house, thus getting the lay of things. If a door is open their quick eyes take stock of what is inside: if another is locked they manage to try it, and find out if it is unlocked and if any one is behind it. As a rule, they visit a house about meal times, when the rooms are deserted, a" 2' 'it have things pretty much their ov/i way. Having been shown the rooms they inquired for. and taken the lay of the land, the rest is comparatively easy." "How easy ?" "Wei!, sometimes the thief will ask permission to use a wash-room aad so get rid of his conductor. At others tney will request to be allowed to take dinner at the common table, "which gives them license to move about the - =JiSao4:a-. dozen ways, and they know them all. They are the best talkers, the most persuasive arguers and the easiest-mannered and most elegant of rogues. The most suspicious landlady becomes confidential under the manipulation, and congratulates herself that sheha3 got so desirable a boarder, while that person is in the very act of rifling her. If they do not obtain an opportunity to work while they are enacting the role of inquirers, the thieves will engage" rooms, send in a loaded trunk, spend a few days as orthodox boarders, and then vanish after making a clean sweep of it. This clacs of boarding-house thieves includes many men and women, elderly and young, whom no one who did not know them conld pick out for what they are. I am often puzzled at first meeting some of them. Dressed in fashion and wiiti irreproacnaoieias:e. iney wear valuable jewelry, bare always plenty cf money to flash out, and possess plausibility and intelligence of the highest order. One of the most expert of them is an Englishman, who masqueraded in society as a real, live lord, till he was found out and shown up by the papers. He is a man of 30. not handsome, but of aristocratic bearing, speaking French German and Italian, like a native, and is the husband of a famous French actress, who got a separation from him five years ago because he systematically robbed her of her earnings as soon as she laid hands on them. Another is a Bostonian, agSd 40, a Harvard graduate who was educated for the ministry and went astray. You might mistrust the Englishman on account of his style, but I would defy even a ietective who did not know him to ?usp?ct American of doing anything but what he represents himself." "How about the women ?" "The women are easier to pick out than the men. Thc-y talk too much, and make too many promises.

He calls at a big boarding-house, where there are certain to be several pianos, and asks if any ot tuem warn; mniag. ne is so handsome, gentlemanly and plausible, that he is eertain to obtaiua job if there is one ou hand.

When i the lady returned she found her beauti- i ful clock ticking away on the mantle. s and was, of course, delighted.

In fact, the treatment of insanity is as complex as the moral, social and physical treatment of the world at large. An insane man is one who has dropped the ordinary mask of social decorum, and the weaknesses are shown in open daylight. In spite of numerous changes requiring | great skill to detect, the insane man I still preserve s, in almost all cases, his former ideas of the ordinary routine of life. He still craves the surroundings he has been accustomed to. It is felt that the old-fashioned mode of hospital classification, the putting together of the good and the bad, the rich and the poor, is losing sight of what might be of the greatest importance in the patient's treatment. Xo system of psychology has as yet demonstrated the whole nature of insanity. One sees the physical side of the matter?says it is very much like a broken leg. Another sees only the intellectual side.and endeavors to separate the mind from the body, and leaves them to look after themselves. : So truly understand classification, we ' must be so broad and free in otir views 1 that we can look at the moral, social, ] i^lthof thelunatic/wh^P PKe hospital for protection. . I^rst thing to do is to separate the .ignorant, the poor and the vicious class ' from the cultivated man of means. ' More attention should be paid to the social relations of the insane than to * any other class of persons confined in 5 an institution. We may say that per- ' sons of different social condition can be . treated together without transgressing 3 the laws of natuie, but certainly the morally good cannot be associated with ; the bad without overstepping the , I UUU2U3 Ol ililtuiax piUJLU'JTCbJ. must be protected, even at the cost of the unfortunate, from every degrading, 1 demoralizing influence. Institutions ' for the criminal, insane and inebriates j should be so arranged that moral defoc; ;' tives of all kinds could find appropriate care and treatment. Although the ine- 1 briate may be legally responsible, he is practically, so far as care of himself is concerned, the most irresponsible of beings. After allusions to the efforts \ made in several states to provide sepa-! rate asylums for insane criminals, men-! tion is made ox the asylum for the crim- j inal insane which has been provided j i since 185!) in New York, and which has j done ranch, to relieve asylums and tue state prisons from a dangerous class. " The care and reformation of drunkards is, it seems to me, one of the most vital questions of the present day. It is one which f-tates have evaded or handled with feeble courage, and as jet but 3ittle progress has been made toward its solution. The cure of the drunkard must be abstinence. In the inebriate we have a combination of the lunatic, the moral imbecile, and often j the criminal. The moving, direct, j . cause of his disease is ready at his hand, ! to be used when he pleases, whereas in j insanity the causes are complex and often impossible to determine. The in- j ; sane man we do not scruple to deprive 1 of his liberty, but in what case could there be more need of protection or ; more justification for treatment in a proper place than that of the drunkard ? , Let us do atrsy in this ease with the ; sacred rights of the subject, etc.,and refl member that society must first b^j^H severely protected before there can b^H such t: tiling as personal freedom. An3 inebriate needing treatment should be MB proceeded against as in the insane per;on. After proper evidence the'-eeqrfc fl| should commit the person to the be- B9 mate reformatory, specifying a definite ength. of time for treatment. This re-^B 'ormatory should be entirely unlike any nstitntion in this country. The good 1 Acnlfo r\f o rryn A a A yn!ot-? /\^ + .V3U.AIQ VI at Wi.
