May, in Leslie's Monthly. gooooooooooooooqoooooooooc | A LUCKY BLUNDER. \ ooooqogoogcqgoaooocqoooooi IT was just 3.30 by the dusty clod that did duty in the editor's office of the Daily Telegram, when Johc Hobbs, manager and general factotum for that enterprising paper, from which he derived a snug littl( Income, suddenly remembered the daj of the week. It was Thursday, ano on the following evening the most se lect concert of the season would take place, where the social set of Wrens ville would be in evidence. Now for nearly a year John had beec a frequent and more or less regulai caller on Miss Mabelle Whitney, the very pretty daughter of a very rich merchant. He had intended to invite her all along, out tnis aeiay in nis invitation might mean a disappointment. He would soon know, and why not embody in his note a declaration of his affections, and so put to th$ test whether she returned his note or not. This seemed a happy thought, so he began: "My Dear Friend?May I hope for the pleasure of your company at the concert to-morrow evening by the Singers' Club? I have a question to ask you, the answer to which will make me either the most miserable or happiest of men. If you accept my invitation to the concert I shall understand your answer will not be 'no' to the more momentous question, and a refusal of my invitation I shall consider as a refusal of your. With deepest regard, John Elliott Hobbs." For a man of so brilliant a mind this was really a very lame proposal, but John signed his name with a consciousness of having said just enough and not too much, feeling quite sure in the depths of his honest devotion to her that her answer would be what he hoped. With this load off his mind he turned to the perusal of his afternoon mail, with which his desk was littered. Another story from the pen of Miss Davenport. Well, this one he had better-reject, for she was really getting beyond her depth, or so it seemed to him. To be sure she sketched her characters with an artist's skill and was decidedly original in plot and action, but the public, his public, must be amused, and her heroines never seemed happy, and, what was more, never married the heroes, nor any one else, for that matter. He did not want to personally say "no" to this girl, in whom unconsciously he had become so interested, and whom be recognized as a clever writer, sure to win for herself a name in the world. But he hail already made up his mind not to accept more of her work, and so taking up the stub pen which had certainly seen better days, he dashed off as follows: "My Dear Madam?Notwithstanding our appreciation of and admiration for your style, we find we must discontinue acceptance for the present. Trusting to be of service at some future date, I am, yours very truly, ! "John Elliott Hobbs." "I flatter myself that is neatly done," thought John, so hastily placing the notes in their respective envelopes and addressing the same he rang for the office boy. Friday morning dawned dull and rainy with little prospect of clearing weather, and as John sat in his office QlS courage ?uiiu spirits were at euu tide. It was all owing to the weather, he thought, and not a premonition of failure. Anyway, he had stopped at the florist's and ordered a box of gorgeous violets sent his love, and they mu6t be received by this time. Just then the postman opened the door. Not a line from her in this mail, only some advertisements, a bill 01 two, three cards of invitation, a check, thanks fur flint- nnrl Inst nf nil. a small envelope In the well-known handwriting of Miss Davenport. A reply to his dismissal of the day before, he presumed, and, fearing to open tht note, he read: "My Dear Mr. Hobbs?The contents of your letter, although a very greal surprise to me, have made m? very happy. It is hardly nseessary for mc to ^dd that I 'accept' your invitation and shall expect you this evening. With regards from my mother and self, I am, most sincerely, "Mildred E. Davenport." What did It mean? What invitatior did she accept, and why should his letter make her very happy? Quit< the reverse, he had supposed. It sounded like some mystery of ro mance from her versatile pen, but i was no jesting matter he reflected remembering the concert and his ans lety of mind concerning his answei from Miss Whitney. Just then, in hi: reflection, the door was flung opei and a messenger boy sang out: "Mr Hobbs: very important; no answer!' and depositing a package handet John his book for signature. Johi recognized the handwriting of the ad dress and hastily tore it open. A larg( buncli of violets met liis astonishe( gaze and a letter, which read as fol lows: 'Mr. Hobbs: "Sir?Allow mc to return your prop crty, which by some mistake was sen to me. As to my style, I consider i presumptuous on your part to pas any comment on what cannot possibl; be of interest or concern of yours, most heartily indorse your desire t discontinue all future correspondence | as your insults are only less clever than your compliments. Yours, etc., "Mabelle Whitney." Foor John rend it with sinking heart, too utterly miserable to express the surprise it merited. Another riddle to read, he thought; was the whole world turning topsy-turvey, and with it his powers of comprehension? First, a . letter of acceptance for an invitation which he had not given, and now this withering refusal and the return of his poor, despised violets. Well, goodbye to his dreams of love and future bliss, and the castles he had built in his vain ambition. The disappoint- j . ment he would bear so bravely no one would suspect its existence, but how explain to Miss Davenport her mis- , ' take, and, picking up her letter he carefully reread it. Her quotation of the word "accept" was a bit strange; its blindness suggested his own use of the word. What if he had made a mistake in the letters and inclosed them in the wrong envelopes? In } that case he could understand all but J his own asinine stupidity. Was ever 3 man in such a box before, engaged by 5 letter to a girl he did not love and refused by the woman he did love and L in a way that left no chance for explanation that he could see. Perhaps 1 later he might find a way to enlighten Mabelle as to matters, but how to explain to Miss Davenport without cru) clly wounding her pride and making ' matters worse? Of course, he must can xo-iiigxii uuu ian.e uu w ccrt, trusting for some cliance tc f straighten out this tangle. John Hobbs never forgot that evening, and how he avoided actually com1 mitting himself by asking that question he presumed he was expected to J ! ask, but in spite of his uncomfortable 1 position and unenviable frame of mind 1 he found himself enjoying the music, ' and could not but notice his compan- 1 1 ion's attractive face and charm of ; manner, and that her well-bred compos- 1 ure was enhanced by a quiet modesty ^ and seriousness of manner to which lip hnd hppn blind before. Somehow or other John found himself saying he would call on Sunday evening, which he did, and really enjoyed the companionship of these two refined women. This call was repeated several times during the following month, and still John had not asked the question, but on the contrary had begun to wonder why he had not before noticed the many attractive qualities Miss Davenport possessed. As no word of explanation had passed between him and Mabelle Whitney it was ifceless to anticipate any hope in this direction. As for Mildred Davenport he had grown to admire the many beautiful qualities of her womanly sweetness. As a daughter she was devoted and thoughtful, and then the thought grew in his mind, would she not make an , ideal wife to the man who should be ' fortunate enough to win her? Had he really any chance, he asked him- , self, a dozen times a day, and one night soon after he quietly told Mil- ' dred the whole story, saying: "And now that my mistake has been the means of my finding out what real love is and should be, will you, knowing all the story of my stupid blunder and happy awakening to a better, truer affection, accept a devotion which I will prove by my whole life is yours and yours only?" and Mildred's acceptance was given and not | implied.?Boston Post. California Crowding Castile. ' A Among other incidents of "the American invasion" of European markets the carrying of California fruits to London and Paris in successful competition with what would seem to be the naturally superior -facilities of Spanish fruit-growers is not the least astonishing. Paris is not quite 500 miles distant from Valencia, the great fruit-shipping port of Alphonso's fruity kingdom. Yet, says a Valencia paper, "California oranges, peaches, apples and pears reach Paris, after traversing 6000 miles, in a more attractive and appetizing condition than ours." It goes on to say: "We can compete with America only by employing her methods?improved cultivation, harvesting and packing, cold storage and rapid, safe transportation. Castile was once called the granary of Europe, yet we have lived to see foreign wheat, after paying , heavy transportation taxes, protective duties and an adverse premium of thirty-five per cent, in exchange, competing with our home-grown cereals. Shall we live to see American oranges competing with ours on the Valencia market itself?" And so it goes all along the line. , American Ingenuity and "hustle" are compelling the steelmakers of Britain . and the fruit-growers of Spain alike to admit that they must imitate us to save their trade.?New York World.

The fancy blouse with accessories Df lace and the like is (essential to correct formal dress and fills an important place in the well-kept -wardrobe.

As shown it is of white batiste, with cream Cluny lace and black velvet ONE OF THE SEASON* ! ribbon held by small jeweled buttons, but the design lends itself to silk and soft wool fabrics as well as to all the dainty cottons and linens with equal success. The foundation is a fitted lining that closes at tbe centre front. On it are arranged the round yoke, the full under portion and the graceful bertha. The yoke closing at the left shoulder extends to form a narrow vest that closes under the left front. The sleeves are in elbow length, terminating with flaring cuffs, but can be extended to the hands. To cut this blouse for a woman of medium size one and a half yards of material twenty-one inches wide, one and a half yards twenty-seven inches wide, one and a quarter yards thirtytwo inchcs wide, or one and a quarter yards forty-four Inches wide will be required, with three and seven-eighth yards of all-over lace and ten yards of velvet ribbon to trim as illustrated. The graduated circular flounce gain3 In popularity as the season advances and has the merit of being singularly graceful as well as smart. The admirable skirt shown in the large drawing is shaped with five gores and fits witli perfect smootnness over me mps while it flares freely at the lower portion. The two flounces are cut with precision and care, and include just the amount of fulness required by fashion. The original is made of embroidered pongee, but all the season's materials are suitable. Thin goods, such as mohair Swiss and grass linen, are charming when so made and hung over a separate foundation, while both silks and wool are well adapted to the style. The skirt is cut full length and can be used plain or with'* a single " ^unce when desired. Variety In Negligee. The variety to be found in negligees these days is wonderful. It would seem that every woman must live in one. They come in challies trimmed with lace, and with the yoke or waist lined.

Bronze boots and shoes are to be seen in the shops, but they are not worn to any extent. It is only when one "wants to have things match that they are -worn once in a -while.

These are all felts, but no wearer of such a hat should be endangered by the wandering golf ball. A Unique Stick Pin. One of the most unique ways in which the baroque pearl has been used is in a stick pin. The design is the head of a Moor, a black face with, above It, the big bulging white cap which is formed by the pearl. It is charming. A Qnaint Pin. The moss agate, which is but little seen now, forms the head of a quaint pin. The flat stone is set in a frame of gold on tcp of the pin, like a sign board on a post, supported underneath by two odd little fishes. Woman's Fancy Blouse.

THE SEA BOTTOM. Physical Conditions and Forms of Life of the Ocean Depths. The following facts relating to the deep sea and its forms of life are derived from an address delivered recently by Trofessor C.* C. Nutting, of the Iowa University, who has himself been actively engaged in deep-sea exploration. Probably the most remarkable of the conditions of deep-sea life is the enormous pressure, which varies, of course, with the depth. At the average depth say, 2000 fathoms, the pressure is about two tons to the square inch of surface, and at 4000 fathoms each square inch of surface is subject to a pressure of about four tons. This fact led the earlier physicists to maintain that orgalilc life was impossible In the great depths. It has been proved, however, that animals of all classes, except the highest vertebrates, have been, dredged from even ) -? * -1 J. - T. ? ~ O iUA AAAAn I me ueepesi uuytseeB ui iuc uteuu. The great pressure to which they have been subjected has a curious effect on the deep-sea fishes when they are brought to the surface. Under these circumstances, being released from the accustomed pressure, they fall to pieces, as it were. The eyes bulge out, the swim-bladder protrudes from the mouth, the scales fall off and the flesh comes off in patches. Now, these fishes, disreputable as they appear when brought to the surface, were doubtless respectable enough In their proper habitat. In the depths of the ocean they are doubtless no more conscious of the pressure of four or five tons to the inch than are we of the fifteen pounds of atmospheric pressure under which we live and move and have our being. Another remarkable condition of life In the ocean depths is that of profound darkness, so far, at least, as sunlight is concerned. It has been found that photographic plates are unaffected beyond a depth of 125 fathoms of clear water, all or the major part of the sun's light having been absorbed before it has reached that depth. Professor Alexander Agassiz assumes as probable that at 200 fathoms the light from the sun is possibly that of a clear starlight night Below that depth all objects would seem necessarily to be involved in darkness as complete as though they were immersed in a sea of ink. And yet there is evidence tending to prove the presence of light at depths far in excess of this. According to Professor Agassiz, by fn-r +hn m-olnriftr nf ontmnln llvinc nt a depth of about 2000 fathoms have eyes, either like their allies of shallow water, or else rudimentary, or sometimes very large, as the huge eyes developed out of all proportion in some of the abyssal crustaceans and fishes. Without light these organs would, of course, be useless. Sunlight being out of the question, it is now held that the' light which enables these animals to see Is phosphorescent. A very large number of crustaceans tut; uiguiy puusyumetsuem. iuau^ vi those having large eyes are of this class, and are particularly active 1p movement and voracious in appetite. They feed on minute organisms for the most part, and it can hardly be doubted that they use their phosphorescent powers for the purpose of illuminating their surroundings and revealing their prey. A third condition of the ocean depths is a temperature uniformly low, probably below forty degrees, while in many cases the temperature is actually below the freezing point of fresh water. This condition is kept up by the ocean currents, the general drift of the surface waters being from the equator toward the poles, while the deep-sea currents are in the opposite direction. The general impression that a high temperature Is more favorable than a low one for the best ' development of animal ife is certainly not true of marine animals in general. If other conditions are favorable a luxuriant fauna will be developed in any temperature short of the freezing point of salt watar. An Elephant Labyrinth. A curious labyrinth in which ele: phants are captured alive is to be seen near Ayuthia, formerly the capital of Siam. The labyrinth Is formed of a double row of immense tree-trunks 6et firmly in the ground, the space between them gradually narrowing. Where it begins, at the edge of the forest, the opening of the labyrinth is more than a mile wide, but as it approaches Ayuthia it becomes so narrow that the elephants cannot turn round. Suspecting no danger, the wild elephant enters the broad opening at the forest end, lured on by a tame ele phant. Tiie gradual narrowing 01 ine boundaries Is not observed until the elephant finds himself in close quartei 3. Having reached the end of the labyrinth, the tame elephant is allowed to pass through a gate, while mer. lying in wait slip shackles over the feet of the captives. The sport is a dangerous one, for the enraged elephants sometimes crush the hunters under their feet Effect of an Added Flower. Pinned to the front of one .of the picturesque straw hats worn this year by horses was a big artificial red rose, making this* horse's cone-crowned, red-trimmed slouch hat more striking still; but yet more striking, seen on n hnvoo'c hpnrt TV:18 11 WOllian'S Old. discarded bonnet, that looked as though it might have been found in the old stuff stored away in some closet or fished out of some such refuse set out on the sidewalk to be carted away. This bonnet was of some sort of skeleton construction, that the wind would blow through, and it was trimmed vrith artificial flowers. Old as it was, this was the most novel thing in horse millinery seen in a day, and it suggested how the street might look if all such cast-off and discarded but not yet thrown away hats of one epoch and another could now be brought out to be worn by horses.?

The electric car which leaves Willlamsport for North Adams ran into a deer on the back road to Williamstown a few night ago. The car was going at a slow rate of speed up the hill when it came upon the deer grazing beside the car track.

Romance has played a prominent part with regard to the longevity of deer. What says the Highland adage? Thrice the age of a dog is that of a horse, Thrice the age Of a horse is that of a man, Thrice the age of a man is that of a deer, Thrive the age of a deer is that of an eagle, Thrice the age of an eagle is that of an oak tree. This is to assign the deer a period of more than 200 years, and the estimate is supported by many highly circumstantial stories. Thus, Captain McDonald, of Tulloch, who died in 1776, aged eighty-six years, is said to have known the white hind ?f Loch Trieg for fifty years, his father for a like period before him and his grandfather for sixty years before him.
