He had not done anything very great, but his work was distinctly promising, and his name was gradually making itself .known. Unluckily, he had married the wrong woman. But my friend was not like some men-he ?lid not whine and cry, he made the best of it, though Phcebus knows, he had enough to put up with, was not bad temper* It was jeal * onsy-bitter, mean, incessant jealousy .-f^-that gru?lged bim even his literary fame. Agatha Arbuthnot was one of those little, pale blue-eyed women, with a spiteful tongue and a narrow heart, who hav?"ruined the career of many a sensitive man. She hated to hear her husband's praises sounded ... ip her ears. * . Due afternoon Agatha was slanging Ar^ut"hnot' because some women who had happened to call the day before had gushed, and told her how fortun ate she was to be tho.wife. of such a rising genius. Her face was crimson wiih anger, and her voice was very shrill as she mimicked her callers. L "Dear Mrs, Arbuthnot! How Pjoud you must be of your clever J husband! He' s quite i^<wnlu^,"^33ftr?r"J~j " 1 envy you'living with the man who can w.ite such exquisite stories!" Then she stamped her foot, and turned savagely on Arbuthnot. "Clever! Exquisite! A genius! I ^never . any genius in your silly '.?ales. Beastly rot, I call them. I ."wishf to goodness I'd married Harry : :j?nkins instead of you. At any rate, people wouldn't have praised him up just in order to run me down. I know ?what they jnean.: Of course I'm stupid, and brainless and silly-not good.;enough for you to wipe your boote on-v And then Arbuthnot did the most ., sensible" thing possible. He walked ,out of'the dining room, and locked t himself up in his study. Agatha, on seeing the lines of his mouth more firmly- set than-usual, and guessing " nothing pf the tempest that surged in his.raind, immediately went off into a ? violent, fit of hysterics. George's den wasn't much of a '.'study?", merely a smoke-begrimed den, furnished with a second-hand bureau, two or three chairs and some shelves of books. Agatha OL.lied it "George's sulking room," but I knew it was the only haven of refuge Ar buthnot could find in his own house. From that day Arbuthnot progressed swiftly tthrough the book that was .to make his name. This was to be his masterpiece, wherein he would show his best of brain and heart; and, as the weeks rolled on and the novel neared it s end, Arbuthnot realized Iiis work was good, and in that knowledge could afford to live, and did live, without love and sympathy. In truth, he needed every support that work and philosophy could give a man. Agatha's conduct grew daily mort s'ircT.-ish and violent, and her tongue less fastidious^rn its choice of words. 4 "So you've taken to tocking your self up in your sulking room," she cried one day, when Arbuthnot had perforce been compelled to answer her heavy banging on his study door. "It's a nice thing when a husband comes to lock himself up from his wife! I suppose my society's not good enough for such a clever mau as you." Arbuthnot saw that she was in one of her paroxysms of rage, and resolved to control his own feelings. "I wanted to finish some work," he said, calmly, looking at tho floor littered with loose sheets of paper. And this room is hardly fit for a lady's society. You see, I hare scarcely a chair that is unoccupied with books." "Yes, it's a horrid hole," said Agatha, curtly; "but you men who write are more like pigs than human beings. Just look at the dust on that desk; it's shameful. And Sarah says you won't let her touch your papers. I'm ashamed of having such a dirty hole in my house; I'll come and dust it myself to-morrow." At these words Arbuthnot lost his philosophical self-control. "I must ask you not to touch the papers on my desk," he said, hastily. "I allow Sarah to brush and dust everything in the room but my desk, and that I attend tb myself. I beg. your pardon if I speck hastily," said Arbuthnot, ruefully contemplating some sheets of paper which Agatha was fast crumbling into balls; "but I've nearly finished my book, and these sheets of paper are rather valu able." Agatha threw tho balls onto the table. "And this book is to make you famous?" she asked, with bitter con tempt. "I Buppose, when it's pub lished, every one will come and envy me because I'm the wife of the genius, George Arbuthnot. How long will it take you to finish it?" "I hope to finish it by next week," said Arbuthlot, triumphantly. 'Tva allowed Lorrimer, the Weekly Review mau, to see some parts of-it, and he's expressed a very favorable opinion and thinks it's bound to be a success.'1 Agatha's eyes narrowed at tho cor? ners. "Lorrimer'sa'fool," she said angrily. It was one cold afternoon, ten days later, that Arbutfin'ot stood on his doorstep iii the act of inserting his latchkey* smiling at some pleasing reminiscences of his recent talk wita his pttblisher. Suddenly a wild, terrified cry broke from the house, followed by scream after scream, reiterated with such in tensity of anguish that Arbuthnot himself caught tho infection of terror, and fumbled with trembling hands at the latchkey. At last he managed to open the door and run into the hall. A fearful sight met his eye. From his study door flew something-an object enveloped in writhing flames, and from it there came piercing, agonized shrieks. Aa the draft from the open door blew fiercely down th? corridor tho flames leaped higher and higher round iheir prey, until Arbuthnot's sickened gaze saw nothing bui a brilliant ball of firet God! it was Agatha! Mad with tor*. tare, the flaming figure rushed toward him and threw out its arms in agony, Arbuthnot caught it in a tight.em* brace, and with all his strength hurled himself and the shrieking figure onto the oarpeted floor and rolled over and over until at last the flames were beat" en ont and he knew the fire was con quered. Three hours" later the doctor came softly down stairs." He had used all his skill to bring life back to the dis* figured body that now lay motionless ou the bed. It was all in vain. Agatha's injuries were beyond all help, and she had lived only three liours after Arbuthnot had carried her apstairs. Her husband had never left her ?ide, and, though badly burned about :ho hands and face, had scarcely real ized his own injuries. As he looked it that oruelly disfigured face, now swathed in bandages, a rush of tears jlinded his eyes, and he knew that all . past differences were swept away, and ;hat Agatha would live henceforth'in iiis memory only as the women whom - ne had once loved with all his heart. Before life flickered out in that suffer ing body, Agatha opened her eyes >nce and met her husband's gaze fixed svith. intense pity and lovenpon her . . face. ' To Arbuthnot it seemed, that ?he plead0*^ dnmhlv fm? -{wmwniwn-l jut even ?gain, ant jpirit had [once. When ?tooped a: _Latar_? itairs to :he room jody; lu lame th jut a fev ;orn at the thought of Agatha's sutler- . ngs. And yet it was a mystery how she lad caught fire. Presumably she had oeen wai ming herself in his study, ind her thin grenadine dinner dress ia'', swept too near the flames. A few lull red embers still burned in the irate. Arbuthnot lit the lamp and sat. lown mechanically to his desk. '"'Thark God for work!" he said, ?vith a deep sigh. "At least I can 'orget for a time-" He opened the deep drawer wherein lis pile of manuscript had lain ready br the printer's hand. One or two unissions could easily be rectified low, and the work would soothe his veary heart and brain. ? But-the .. Irawer stood empty. Hastily, he pulled out its counterpart. No; that, ;oo, held nothing. With fevorisb lands he rummaged each pigeonhole, inrned everything out of his bureau, jought on the chairs, the tables. The nanuscript had disappeared! A fearful thought darted into his jrain. He ran to the fireplaoe-his aye fell on some charred ashes in. tho 'ender.-Black and White. The Chinese Family.. One of the most striking elements Ln Chinese life is its solidarity. As is .veil known, the family has a much larger function than with us. The marriage of a son does not break in upon the family life, but enlarges in, the daughter-in-law becoming incor porated in the family of her husband. Several generations may be welded to gether in one home, the authority o? the elders becoming the more abso lute with time. Growing old is cer tainly robbed ra China .of some ol the terrors it has among us. The older a man grows the more weight is accorded to his wisdom. A girl may be worse than valueless; a young wife is tho hapless servant of her mother-in law; but a mother is sure of . honor, which increases with the years, and a grandmother rules the generations with a rod of iron. In the clan the family idea is again ex tended, and society-compacted. The leading members of a clan are held largely responsible for the conduct of the rest, and are 'often punished for their crimes, although no' one may suspeot them of personal complicity with the wrongdoers. - New York Evening Post. Value or a Good Sneeze. We all know from actual experience that a good sneeze is a wonderful loos ener of nasal-bronchial mucus. Sir' Dyce Duckworth comes forward in the Practitioner with the suggestion that the induction of sneezing be resorted to for the purpose of raising bronchial mucus. The idea ?s a good one, and worthy of being placed in practical op eration. It has been explained how vomiting causes an expulsion of mucus or membrane from the respiratory pas sages, but sneezing appears to be quite efficient in doing this. Ordinary snuff, or any of the many simple nasal irritants, suffice, and may be blown into the nose of even a child without any dauger. Plow ami Harrow In One.

A cer tain^ portion' of the sufferer's life is obliterated from his recollection, but the strange development has brought, back to mind certainpassages in Latin' and French which are quoted with, accuracy. The only explanation tho j doctors can offer for this speaking in a strange tongue is that probably in bin early youth the Irishman was a servant in the house of a clergyman or professor, . and there heard "the phrases spoken which his mind now recollects.-Philadelphia Becord.

Every sol dier who leaves the port carries it away, and somehow it sticks to one's mind. It is "welakakoa" (pronounced willy-ka-how-a). It means, in Hawaiian. "Strike while the iron is hot." It took the fancy of the people who came to Hon olulu long ago to grow np with the country, and is now a regular term, meaning "That's all right," or, if in speaking of some work being accom plished, "That's done," until now it has become the expression among the people for anything they enjoy. The nearest thing in American slang that I can thing of is: "That's out? of sight," or "That'sbully." Anyhow,' whenever we want .to express delight or appreciation of anything we simply nay, "welakahoa." 1 predict for it a vogue in America. -Captain P. B.

A Chinese phrase, for which we shall hardly fifid an exact equivalent in the English language, will help us to separate truth from , error-or at least tho probable* fromihe unlikely when we read such despatches as those recently published in regard to the flight, assassination, or .suicide of tho Chinese Emperor. The phrase may be- literally translated, "to save his face." Any high official of the Empire may apply it to himself in certain contingences, and may think that he defends his personal credit and that of his office by committing suicide when threatened with removal. lu tho case of the Emperor his sense of propriety and the rule of etiquette would leave him no choice. If his successor has beenjchosen;, or it be comes quite certain that 'ff sucoessor is to be appointed immediately, he must "save his imperial face."

The tower is all that is Jeffc of thc first English church, erected in 1610 by Lord Delaware, "wherein should be Conducted Christian worship in ac cordance with the rites of the Church of England." To-day the Episcopal Church of the United States, once the humble offshoot, but now the. august sister of that powerful ecclesiastical body, holds the ivy clad ruin, in affec tionate regard as the cradle of its in f^noy, and during the reCent triennial conyention'of that body in Washing ton three hundred dignitaries : of the church made a pilgrimage of two hun dred miles to visit it. Almost as desolate as when the first Englishmen set foot upon it is the little island to-day and its surround ings. Its surface is grown up in trees and underbrush, with only a cleared field m the centre, while one littlo cottage nestling behind an an cient earthwork is the only habitation of man upon it. Shoreward, in every direction, it is' giri with forests, for civilization retreated from that neigh borhood years ago, and the rarfk vege tation of tho alluvial, soil has made haste to cover tho retreat. Those who have taken the trouble to investigate the records of the early days find a great deal of material deal ing with the Jamestown colony and the religious feature of its establish ment. There is even, a description of the.churoh, of which this tower now alone remains intact. The first Protestant divine to preach on American soil was tho Eev. Robert Hunt. He accompanied Cfaptain Newport cm a voyage of the colonists in the three ships, the Susan Con stant, the Godspeed, and tho Dis covery. They landed at Jamestown ! about the middle of May, 1607, and their first act upon going ashore was1 to hold religious services. They hung an old sail from the branches, and with a pulpit formed of a bar of wood nailed to two trees the services pro ceeded. Dr. Hunt was described by John Smith as a wise man in council, of great courage and high character, and Smith gave him credic for many benefits of harmony enjoyed by the colonists duriug his life. In the church erected upon the isl and Pocahontas, tho Indian maiden ?r?ho saved John Smith's life, was bap tizedj and there ;;he was married to Eolfe, the Englishman. Their de cendants are found in Virginia to this day. The first legislative body of Englishmen which ever met in Amer ica assembled in the church to legis late for the little colony, and this was a year and a half before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. Jamestown settlement has long ago disappeared, and nothing else there abouts shows tho hand of man except the cottage, the field of the tower's keeper and the wave-washed steam boat wharf putting out into the James On a table by tho tower the recent pilgrims fro; ancient sir which the was served Protestan' of Sonthf and Dr. C., mad ,.

One of the most striking innova tions that have been made by Walter Wellman in preparing for his trip to the North Pole is his unique dog sleigh. Dogs are the motive power always used in arctic expeditions. When eight or ten dogs were hitched to one sledge some of the dogs would j shirk their work. ! Wellman has built a number of small sledges. Each is of tube-like construction of tinned copper, with runners on its two sides, and so snapped that if it turns over it always comes down on one or the WELLMAN'S ARCTIC SLEDGE. other pair of runners.
