Hut Martin was at no such pleasant
task, lie was lighting. lie was going
over and over a battle that he had waged
for two weeks. Kver since that day
when the Colonel had brought him to the
Bouselle home, and lie had lelt something
couie out of Alice's quiet, bro.vu eyes
aud got all over his big body. Ho
bad spent every evening there since. Arizmiiians

scattered tables in the big Crystal Paluco
saloon, with its wide open door.
Down the deserted street a ragge I Mexican
will drive a herd of fuzzy, drah
burros, loaded with crooked limbs ol
oak, from their mountains, or a tile ol
olla sellers, tall and straight and impressive
as a religious procession, will walk
by, their heads wrapped in white rags,
and the great re' pots balance 1 on top,
All day long can be heard the slni |
crack of the whips of the mule and oxen
drivers who are taking the huge wagoui
ol ore to the mill ou the river.
Hut as darkness came on Study Bob'i
stage swung its way with six plunging
horses (that had begun to plunge on the
edge ot tow ny through dust clouds to
the postollice, and the town was awake.
The Crystal Palace was full of men,
talking au I gambling and leaning over
the bar. From ten until 2 the piano
playe t ncco opaniinents, and the singers,
'special artists from the nuwu??i
of the world," sang topical song* an i
tender old ballads on the saloon stage.
Through Allen street a cosmopolitan
crowd pushed. Stolid Coruisduneii,with
tlieir oddly musical voices and queer
use of the nominative for the objective,
talked loudly to each other. Slavs,
Chinese, Mexicans, Missourians and
sleek, unmistakable gamblers of every
nationality jostled each other 011 the
hoard sidewalk. Here and there the
uniform of a United States soldier from
Fort lluachuca showed its jaunty cap.
' 'he Doctor's house was tar away from

hotel in the midst of it to this sweet,
pretty home had had its effect upon
Martin. He hadn't known much about

Months he spent in Freiberg, perfecting
himself in mining engineering. Alict
Bonselle was the first young la ly he had
ever known very well. And now he
belittled those Freiberg months as n
factor in his present success, and re
proacbed himself for ever having gone
there. He was thinking about it as tin
Colonel looked at liim,. He thought ol
other raoonli.'bt nights in the late Gorman
springtime, and of Hilda, whose

said the Colonel," (or them to ex1

'Mind-reading," said the Doctor froiu

"It wouldn't surprise me at all if that

L /\ f Russian modes of life,Frank
V \ 8. Carpenter says in thf
Washington Star*
A Russian dinner is rather a curioui
air and a swell dinner lasts for hours.
10 tirst thing jou take is an appetizer,
d this consists of vodka, a Russian
indy, together with such rolishes as
riare, raw herring, smoked salmon,
iv smoked goose, radishes, butter and
ecse. This lay out is on a counter at
u end of a restaurant and you usually
ind up to eat it before taking your seat
the table for the regular dinner. The
it part o' the dimicr is soup, and a
ill of Russiau soup is a diuner itself,
le most popular, perhaps, is known as
meo, woicn is mano 01 caoouge mm
ef, aud ia the midst of each plate of
licb a big cbuuk of beef float*. Sour
?atn ia often added to the soup and you
t a gravy diab of cream for a kiad of a
jco nt the first of every dinner. Tbo
li soups are much liked by the Rusins
aud I ordered one to-day without
lowing what it was. It bad a creamy
lor, but thero was iu the center of it a
see of ice as big as my fist and there
sre pieces of cucumber, herring and
:at floating around in it. I tasted it
d it made me think of boiled beer
fed with ice, aud the taste was
ough. Some of tiie soups were very
od and one older for soup is always
ough for two. The tlsh that 1 find
re are excellent and tlicre is a dish
lied soliatika, n.ade of tish and cabge,
which is not at all bad. Another
a sucking pig, boiled, aud served cold,
d another favorite dish is roast muta,
stuffed with buckwheat. The Rusus
have excellent meats, and you will
t as good beef aud mutton here as
ywhere in the world. The butter is
variably good, aud some of that which
iave had is so sweet that I can eat it
e chccsc. It is never salted and it is
ved in great loaves, the guost cutting
as much as he wishes. I do uot like
5 Russian beer known askvas, but the
k is good everywhere, and the Russian
tes a glass every hour or so, aud
rchants do all their business over
i. The peasants who briug things
re from Moscow to sell never make a
rgam except at tliu Traktirs, and you
d the samovar ami the tea glass overyicre.
-?
1'he better class of Russians live very
travagautly. They spare nothing on
nr tables and they are fond of giving
r dinners. It is not uucommou for a
lole sheep to be brought on the table
such dinners, and imported wines
w like water. Tiiey are very fond of
wcrs, aud there was a diuuer given at
Petersburg no*, long ago at which
e orchids adorned the board and at
iich the flowers cost more thau $10,J.
At some dinners given by young
n the host expects to pay for all the
nage that may be done by the young
lows when the- are drunk after the
,st, aud there have becu dinners hero
Moscow which have cost a small for:>e.
Still, at the b tter class res taunts
you c^u a very goo 1 meal at

ire put into it in the changing of the

was, I think, ruu by steam. I wont

'ouiid them cleaner than auy kitchens

Deaf for More Than a Year.
To my auritrine and great Jay when I had
taken thrte laittics of lload'a Haraaparllla I
found my hearing was returning. 1 kept on

If the derby bat is to be crowded out
by the easier and softer styles of head
gear theie won't be much regret over its
going. In spite of its advantages as n
cross between the silk lint and the
slouch, it has neve: had the merits of
either of those styles. It has always had
the discomforts of the silk hat without
having its dash ?>r beauty, and it has not
been much dressier than a neat soft hat,
although it Uas always been more uucomfoitablc.
It is a bad thing for a hot
day, and it isn't much for a cold spell,
and fate help the man who wears it in
the morniug after a banquet. The
tendency now is to easy hats, and it
ought to be encouraged. Men have
laughed a great deal at women's slavery
to fashion, but they have never been
able to point to a mom forcible illustration
of that slavery than their own adherence
to the derby hat supplied.?

Mysterious Brazilian Camel.
The huanaco, which is a small camel
which is widely distribute I in South
America, has a peculiar instinct <> repairing
to some lonely, deserted spot
when seized with tuc pangs of death,
and, removed from all its healthy companions,
succumbing to its hut sickuess
in a sort of dismal yet poetic isolation.
Darwin and filzroy have noted this
strange custom, and Mr. Hudson dwells
at some length upon its unique suggestions.
It looks, in fact," he says, "less
, like an instinct of one of the inferior
creatures than the superstitious observauco
of human beings, who have knowl
odgo of death, and believe in a coutiuucd
existence after dissolution."
Mr. Hudson is inclined to explain this
j almost mysterious practice with the hua
uaco by the assumption of an iminetiso
antiquity for the species, ami tiint the
inherited habit of a far distant period,
when its representative!' resorted to some
secluded place protected from the assaults
of their enemies, has been impressed
upon the stock, so that by an
automatic movement, when Hckened with
disease or old n_*e, it turns to the hidden
refuse which venerations of its kind have
sought in the same blind m inner.?

My niece, Kmcline Ilawley, was,
taken with spitting blood, and she
became very much alarmed, fearing
that dreaded disease, Consumption.
She tried nearly all kinds of medicine
but nothing did her any good.
Finally she took German Syrup and
she told me it did her more good
than anything she ever tried. It
stopped the blood, gave her strength

had it from her own lips. Mrs.
