The young Duke de Hardimont was . passing some days at Air in Savoy, where ho was causing his famous mare Perichole .' ? ?who had been broken winded since she caught a chill at the Derby?to take the . waters, when, glancing carelessly over the paper one morning just after breakfast, he read there the news of the disaster of Richshoffen. |||; He emptied his glass of Chartreuse, laid his napkin down on the restaurant table, gave his valet orders to pack his trunks, took the express two hours-later ] for Paris and hurried to the recruiting office for the purpose of enlisting In a regiment of the line. ; Now, though the Duke de Hardimont had led the enervating life of a petit, creve ?this was the term in mode at that time-1 ?from 19 to 25, though he had done his best to degrade his nature in the' stables of the race course and in tiratpu of the opera singers, yet. th^KWere. oc? casions, on which he could not forget that Enguerrand de Hardimont died of the plague at Tunis on the same, day with St. Louis; that Jean de Hardimont commanded thd Great Companies under Du Gueschu, and that Francois Henri de Hardimont was killed while making a charge with Maison Rouge at'Fonte noy. However enervating Ms scandalous and senseless amours with Lucy Violette, I the prima * donna of the Nudites^P^ris^ i - - Jennes, yet when- the young duke learned that a battle had been lost, by the French on French'soil, he felt the blood mount to his forehead, and experienced for the mo? ment a horrible sensation; as if he had just received a slap in the face. Thus it was that in the. early part of November, of 1870, having re-entered, Paris: with his regiment, which formed., part of the corps of Vinery, Henri, do .^Hardimont, fusilier, third man of the ?eeend..hhe, and member, of the Jockey, club, fdr^e?^. with, his. company, part of. the main guard in front of the redoubt of Hautes Bray eres, a position fortified in haste and protected by the cannon of the fort of Bicetre. The scene was a desolate one?a road . flanked by stunted trees and broken up by muddy by paths traversing the* sickly looking fields of the suburbs; and on one side of this road, a deserted inn, an inn with arbors, of which the soldiers had made their guard'house.' An engagement had taken place there a few days before; the grape shot had cut asunder several of the saplings by the roadside, and they all bore on their bark the white scars left by the shot. As to the house itself, its aspect made one shudder; the roof had been sunk in by a . sheU, and the walls, of . the color of muddy -wine, looked as if they had been painted with blood.--The-j empty arbors, roofed by a network of dark branches; the. casks turned bottom; up jwnrd, the swing, the wet cords of cwfci?h creaked in the wind; and the Words" over' the door defaced by balls?"Private rooms: Vermouth: "Wine 60 centimes a litre"? which served as a frame to the picture of a dead rabbit with two billiard cues crossed and tied together by a ribbon underneath, all recalled with cruel irony the Sunday pleasures of the people in days gone by. And overhead a dreary winter sky, across which were passing large leaden clouds? a sky low, gloomy and threatening. At the door of the inn the young duke stood motionless, his chassepot slung across his shoulder, his kepe drawn over his eyes, his benumbed hands thrust into the pockets of his red trousers, shivering inside his sheep skin cloak. He had given ? ' himself up to gloomy meditation, the soldier of defeat, and was watching with heartbrpken.glance'The line of hills.fading, away iir "the mlstjj above which arose, in_ rapid succession, accompanied each time" by a detonation, the white puffs of smoke of the Krupp cannon. All at.once he was conscious^of,aasnsa tion of hunger. He knatt down'; one one knee and took from his " knapsack, fwhich rested-against the wall hesfde' him, a large piece of ammunition bread ; then, as he had lost his knife, he broke- it off, bit | by bit, with his teeth; and ate it slowly. But after a few mouthfals he had had enough; the bread was hard and had a | bitter' taste. And there would bei no fresh bread until to-morrow's distribution, and then only in case the commissariat should think lit to distribute it. The pro? fession was, in truth, at times a rather" rough one; and all at once there came to mind the thought of what he used- to call his hygienic breakfasts;7when^ on ihe_| morning after a supper of a too stimula? ting character, he.-would sit opposite a window on the ground floor of the. Cafe ?' Anglais, and order?good heavens! the merest trifle?an omelette with asparagus, and the head waiter, knowing his habits, -s__^would'place on the table a slender bottle of old Seville, resting softly in a basket, and uncork it carefully. Deuce take it! That was a pleasant time after all, and he would never be able to accustom himself to this miserable fare. And in a moment of impatience the young man flung the rest of the piece of oread he had been eating in the mud. At the same instant a private of the line came out of the ruin; he stooped down,, _^picked up the piece of bread, withdrew a few steps, wiped the mud from it with his sleeve, and began to devour it eagerly. Henri de Hardimont was; already ashamed of his action, and gazed with pity at the poor devil who had given proof of so good' an appetite. He was a tall and loose built youth with feverish eyes and a beard that betrayed a recent sojourn in the hospital, and so thin that his shoulder blades were sharply defined through the cloth of his well worn cape. ? "You seem to be very hungry, com? rade," said the duke, approaching the sol? dier. "Asyou see," responded the latter, with his mouth full. "Forgive me, then; if I had known you j would like to eat it, I should not have thrown away my bread." "There is no harm done," replied the. soldier, "I am not so very delicate in my ? tastes." "No matter," said the nobleman; "what I did was wrong, and I reproach myself for it But I do not want you to take away with you a bad opinion of me, and as I have some old cognac in my canteen ?parbleu, we will drink it together." The man had finished eating. The duke and he each took a swallow of brandy in turn?the acquaintance was made. "And you are called-?" said the sol? dier. "Hardimont," respondedtheduke, sup? pressing his title and the prefix to his name. "And you?" "Jean Victor. I have only recently joined the company?I've just left the ambu? lance?I was wounded at Chatillon. Ah, it was very pleasant in tho ambulance; the nurse gives one such good horse flesh soup. But I had only a scratch, and the major gave me my discharge. So much the worse for me, for I shall now begin to suffer from hunger as before. For, whether you choose to believe it or not, such a3 you see me I have been hungry all my life." This statement, made to a voluptuary who, a moment since, had been remem? bering with regret the cuisine of the Cafe Anglais, was a.terrible one, and the Duke de Hardimont looked at his companion with an astonishment not unmixed with terror. The soldier smiled sorrowfully, closing to view his teeth that resem? bled those of a wolf?the teeth of a man jrho suffered from hunger habitually?and rhose whiteness contrasted strongly with his clay colored complexion. Then, as if :mprehending that the duke was waiting }r some further disclosure: "Stay," he said, ceasing abruptly toad dress his companion in the second person, 2 divining doubtless that he was a rich and happy man. "Stay, lot us walk a little up and down the road to warm our feet, and I will teU you things snch as, I dare say, you have never heard before. My name is Jean Victor?Jean Victor, and nothing more, for I am a foundling, and my only iappy^rccollections are those of my early childhood at the asylum.

But as soon as I was 12 years old, and had taken my first communion, there was nothing then, but misery I The directors apprenticed mo to a chair mender of the Faubourg St. Jacques. This is not a trade, you under? stand; it is impossible to gain one's living at it, so that, for the most part, the master could entice only the boys of the Blind:- Boys'- asylum to become his apprentices.;: Then it was that \ I flrstrhegan to "suffer from 'hunger.* Tfie master and mistress?two elderly Limou sians, who were both afterward murdered ?were terrible misers, and the bread, of which they gave us a little- piece at every meal, was kept under lock and key the rest of the time. And in the evening at supper you should have seen the mistress in her black cap, heaving a sigh at every glance she stole into the soup tureen when she gave us our soup. The two other ap? prentices, the ,'JBltnd Boy?,'? were less unhappy than"I, she did not give them any mor than she gave me, but at least they could not see, as I did, her look of reproach when she handed them their plates.

"It"* was even fortunate f or, his reputatiopff or sangfroid as a dandy, that the evening wind dried, before they fell, two tears which had gathered in his eyes.1 ?Jean Victor," he said, ceasing, in his turn, by a delicate instinct, to address the: foundling , in the second person, "if you and I should survive this terrible war, we shall see each other again, and I hope to be of service to you.

Toward midnight Jean Victor awoke, probably through hunger. The wind had swept sway the. clouds from the face of the heavens, and a moonbeam, penetrating the . room through a hole in the. roof, il? luminated the charming blonde head of the young duke, who looked'like a sleep? ing Endymion. Still under the influence of the feeling aroused in his breast by the kindness of his" comrade, Jean Victor was regarding him with, naive admiration, l_when_the.sergeant.of the platoon opened thexfoorf-and; called over theHnames^Whe five men who weretb relieve the sentinels of ther advanced jpnard.

One night last wintejrmt- about two in -the morning, the Duke de Hardimont left the club ia company with his neighbor, the Count de Sauines; he had just lost some hundreds of lords, and he felt a feel the need of fresh air. ?j (Asyou please, my dear friend, although -the walking is not very good." They dismissed their coupes, turned up the collars of their great coats about their ears, and walked on in the direction Of tho Madeleine. Suddenly the duke stum? bled against an object.which he had struck with the point of his boot; it was a large crust of bread all soiled with mud. u* Then, to his astonishment, M. de Saul nes saw the Duke de Hardimont pick np the piece of; bread, wipe it carefully with his handkerchief embroidered with his armorial bearings, and place it on one of the benches of the boulevard, in the full glare of a gas lamp. "What is that you are doing?" said the count, bursting into aiaugh. "Are yon mad?" "It is in remembrance of a poor man who gave-hib ' life for mine," responded the duke, whose voice trembled slightly.

' In the lonely desert country east of Kandahar are occasional small oases that in the corojparatively moist springtime af? ford excellent grating. Arriving at one of these verdant areas, I observed herds of camels browsing peacefully on the green yonng herbage, and pretty soon cam a to a cluster of about fifty black goat hair tents. The tents were pitched in two parallel rows along a stretch of clean, gravelly ground, slightly elevated above the mud flats of an adjacent alkaline sink. The material of the tents was woven goat hair, and the prevailing shape a com? promise between the Indian tepee and an Ordinary/ wedge tent. . The tent of- the chief stood out conspicuously from the others by reason of its large size and the superior material entering into its con? struction.

They also wore a profusion of bead necklaces and the mu^ifare gew? gaws so dear to the heart of somi-civilized ] races in all parts of the world. Aconv spicuous ornament, and ode that^Jaaa/; not yet seen in Asia, was a small, beaded 1 jewel attached to the left side'bf the nose, I apparently fastened there by means of a hole bored through thej^car^ilage.

From head to foot the Ghilzais were-clad in coarse white cotton tclqth; with their flowing white ?g'arinenlSs fond rude weapons they looked like some strange community of - warrior priests. On their heads were tall, conical hats fancifully braided with gold or silver thread. Enough white material to ? make a bed- sheet wound round about the basefof the cone coverted this headgear into a regulation Afghan turban. Two feet or thereabouts at one end of the turban was left dangling down the wearer's back. On their-arms . they wore bracelets of plain -C?ppW'wfre ' about' the size of or? dinary telegraph wire. Some of the men wore as many as half a dozen of these rudo ornaments?three on each wrist.

Gathered about the door of every tent were women and children-gazing curi? ously and with much wonderment at the stranger's marvelous asp-i-awhen (iron horse), standing up against the tent pole of their chieftain's quarters. The smooth, hard, gravelly elevation was in every respect suitable for bicycling; .and so, to gratify the curiosity of the/whole; wonder? ing camp, I rode several times back and forth the entire length of the tented street.

A Kustln Lad on the Side walk-A City Boy in the Country. - When; the countrychap enters on the sidewalks of a city it astonishes him, and at the same moment irritates him to hear a remark from a dapper youth to the effect: "Hullo, country!" He can't for the life of him see what there is in his ap? pearance that suggests that he is from the country. His cowhide boots, his clothes of n hue that suggest the home dye pot, and a cut which recalls a past genera? tion; the stoop in his shoulders indicative of toil; his queer hat and long, unkempt .hairdo not present: themselves tohim^a being at all odd cr??ulr"bi the w?y.'' Ho does not believe that there is anything in his appearance that is unlike the city chaps. It is simply an unwarranted in? sult f! "You shet up, gol darn ye!" is his reply to the impertinence. Then another city boy joins the first, and then three more. They form around tho visitor, first at a safe distance, and re? peat the offensive "Country!" "Coun? try!" One bolder than the other makes a snatch at his visitor's hat, and he in re? turn launches out his big cowhide boot and catches the little assailant in a ten? der place.

Melodious Mexican Bells. In the large tower of MoreD? hangs the monster bell, which is rarely sounded, but there are many others of moderate size which are continually chiming. All these bells, and indeed nearly all the, bells in the republic, are remarkable-for sweet? ness and softness of tone." It i?", very rarely that one hears a harsh bell.- They are exceedingly melodious and pleasing. It is sometimes explained that this is due to the mixture of silver in the bell metal, and that the new bells are cast from old metal. I believe that the chief reason why the Mexican bells are so much more musical than ours is that the Mexican bells are artistically made, shaped with reference to tone, thin at the edge, each one a work of - art intelligently manipu? lated, not mechanically cast without refer? ence to the sound it shall produce. Tho great bells are struck with a clapper, and not swunsr. There would be much less objection to the use of church bells in the Unifed ?StetesMfiitf"harsh and barbarous jangWwhlch^hocKs'thc Sunday stillness? if our^bells had any of the musical quality of the Mexican.?Harper's Magazine. ;..

Along list of recipes is givenJB&d we refer to the matter to caution against buying the recipes to moke this and that that are hawked about. They are gener? ally useless, and at times dangerous. Among those in this list is "Tooth Wash, to Remove Blackness." This consists of about one-fourth muriatic acid, and if used well will remove the blackness?and the teeth also. Another, "To Remove or De? stroy Hair," consists largely of sulphuret of arsenic, a most violent poison, and dangerous to apply to tho skin, as it may produce fearful sores. Don't buy recipes. Mackinaw Braid Hats. ' 'New-Yorkers no longer wear Mackinaw straw hats. It is simply because there is very little genuine Mackinaw braid used now by the manufacturers," said a prom? inent importer of straw braids the other day to a reporter. "The average buyer does not know the difference between the genuine and the Japan Mackinaw, which is a lighter and much- cheaper article," he continued. "The genuine Mackinaw is a braid made from wheat straw grown and plaited by the Indians along tho Straits of Mackinaw. This braid is exceedingly tough and dur? able, having a beautiful gloss not pos? sessed by other braids. When made into machine sewed hats it often proves to be too heavy for a ready sale. The hand sewed goods, however, are much lighter and pleasanter to wear, and bring high prices. They are manufactured chiefly in Baltimore, where the majority of skilled | operators in this line are to be found. These persons go to Baltimore from their homes in the New England states in the fall, when the straw season begins, re? turning in the summer. "The Japanese braid is lighter in tex? ture but rather lusterless, and has forced the genuine Mackinaw out of the market. It is now the most popular braid manu? factured."?New York Sun. No Mute Inglorious Milton. Parson Newman, who is now back at his old charge, the Metropolitan M. E. church,of;Washington, tells how a poet secured a hearing, 'ft was during tho Hayes administration. "One night at : prayer meeting," Dr. i Newman say?, "I called on a good layman to lead in devo? tions. Before he began, I saw he had drawn a manuscript from his pocket, but I thought it was to guide him in the words of his petition. Soon I was surprised to hear him reading a poem to tho Almighty. When he got along a little I heard him say "We've been in a maze and now we have Hayes." I peeped around and saw that all my flock had gotten up from their knees. I did tho same, though hesi? tatingly, . and with mixed feelings of chagrin and amusement. The good brother never got the chance to read another poem in my church."?American Magazine. Tim Chinese in Honolulu. Honolulu is almost overrun by the Ghl ncse; many of these are merchants of no small pretensions, and one or two are mil? lionaires. One of the prettiest residences in the fashionable part of the city is owned by a Chinaman named A. Pong. His establishment is one of regal and ori? ental splendor. The natives appear to take very kindly to the Chinamen?the Kanaka women marrying them in prefer? ence to white men or men of their own nationality, and in this I think they are fully justified and evince sound discre? tion. The Chinaman is frugal and thrifty?respects and takes pride in his Kanaka wife, escorts her about and fur? nishes a good home. The native is too indolent, too improvident or too big an Indian to take his wife into consideration, and the white man abuses and deserts her whenever and as often as it suits his pur? pose.?Home Journal. Trotting Wonders of the World. The six leading sires of the world, ac? cording to The Breeders' Gazette, are Blue Bull, George Wilkes, Daniel Lam? bert, Volunteer, Dictator and Electioneer ?that is, when all things are considered. "When one takes the fastest three of the get of each, says the authority quoted from, "he speedily discovers that in this point of excellence Dictator stands at the head. His best three are Jay Eye See, 2:10; Phallas, 2:18 3-4, and Director, 2:17, their average records being 2:131-2. Next in order comes George Wilkes, whose fast? est trio are Harry Wilkes, 2:18 1-2; Guy Wilkes, 2:151-2, and Wilson, 2:161-4. ? Averaging these records we find the re? sult to be 2:15 1-4. Then comes Volun? teer with St. Julien, 2:111-4; Gloster, 2:17, and Alley, 2:19. Their average is 2:15 1-2. Electioneer follows closely be? hind Volunteer with Manznnita, 2:16; Anteo, 2:16 1-4, and Adair, 2:17 14, the average rate of speed in their case being 2:161-12, and when it is borne in mind that Manzauita made her record last season when but 4 years old, and that she will undoubtedly go faster this year, it must be conceded that Electioneer is wonder? fully well to the front in this regard, as he certainly is in others." Who First Ate an Oyster? Human vanity has received one more blow.. A writer on gastronomy once com? mented on the .great courage the man must have had who first ate an oyster. But now it seems that the discovery of the luscious qualities of this bivalve was not made by a man, but by his country cousin, the macacus. Mr. Alfred Car? penter, of Bombay, has often seen these monkeys, breaking open oysters with fa stone, on the islands'of Burmhh: The only remaining difference, therefore, be? tween man and monkey, some might say, is that the monkey puts his mouth straight to the broken sheik, while man uses a fork By the way, would it not be a good speculation for some restaurateur to hire a few monkeys as oyster openers and to try to teach them the three words, "small, medium-and large?"?The Epoch. Composition of Cream. Cream varies in composition according to the circumstances under which it is produced, and as u consequence of these differences in the composition of cream variable quantities, of butter are produced from a given bulk of cream. The value of milk, then, for butter making cannot be determined simply from the percent? age of cream thrown up. The butter whey must be obtained by churning tho cream. Whnt Are Black Headed Fins? Sitting alongside a lady in the elevated train the other day she had occasion to adjust a portion of her dress which was fastened with a black pin, when the head broke in fragments and disclosed the fact that it was some kind of composition fastened on a broken needle. Curiosity led me to make some inqurics, and I found that nearly all the black headed pins in the market are made from needles which ore broken in the factories in test? ing the eyes. Any one who has handled the black headed pins has probably noticed their remarkable sharpness as compared with the ordinary white pins sold in the market. This is the explanation?that they are old needles.?New York Tribune. The Photographers Like It. London photographers encourage the idea of American women being presented at Rome.

A boy went into a Ridge avenue grocery store the other evening and bought some groceries. In the change there was a Canada ten cent piece. The boy, throwing it on the counter, said: "Give me another; this is a Canada ten cent piece."

Firing: a Locomotive. - The work' of firing an engine comes very near being skilled labor, especially on a lightning run. Then one has to be feed? ing coal almost constantly from the start. And the coal must not be thrown into tho firebox carelessly, but it must be placed where it will do the most good. Tho steam must be kept up to the.rigurc, and no great variations-'from the standard are allowed.

The alarming disease of this country is nervo us debility and prostr;.'i.vi. ]{t goes under many 11; r.cs but it is essen tially^ ihe same complaint. Hospitals and private institu? tions for nervous patients are crowded. The average of life in the United Suites is de? . creasing every year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our business, profess? ional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark. The majority of sui? cides, committed without ap? parent reason, or under so-called "depression of spirits," are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is a fruitful source of insanity and crime with all their grief and horror. These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of its power and pros? perity. They wreck manhood's strength and woman's useful? ness and beauty. Eveiy one should know the causes. "What are they ? The answer is easy and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in? tense mental and physical strain arising from our madrrace after money, position and influence; the fears and struggles of pov? erty ; the use of narcotics and Btimulants; our fashion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our . desperate willingness to pay any price for an hour's leasure or success. So we urn life's candle at both ends and All the lunatic asylums and the graveyards. The disease from which we suffer and die is, in plain Eng? lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it is seated in the Nerves and in the organs of Digestion, Assim? ilation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion being impeded or des? troyed, the whole body, nerves included, is liter ally starved; even when there is no emaci? ation to tell the sad stoiy. Nervous prostration sends out its warnings:?headache in the morning; a persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base of the brain; wa keiulness; 1 oss of ?ppeti te an d disgust wi th food; loss of mental energy and interest in ordinary duties and business; restlessness and anx? iety without any assignable reason; eructations; bad breath; foul mucous on the teeth; occasional giddiness; palpitation of the heart; sal lowness of the skin; coated tongue and gradual failure of strength and ambition. The remedy is a total aban? donment of the habits and cus? toms which cause the disease in each individual case, and the use of Shaker Extract of Hoots (Seiffcl's Syrup) to cure the mischief already done. Ti;is great remedy, prepared by the Shaker Community of Mt. Leb? anon, N. V., is especially adapt? ed to eradicate Nervous Dys Sepsia. To do this it acts irectly and gently but power? fully upon the disordered stom ach, liver and kidneys, restor? ing their tone and vu-or, pro? moting the secretion o'' :;ile, ex? pelling waste matters from the system,ahd purifying tin. blood. > 'Upon the nervous system Shaker ?xtract(S(i\?e\^ \yrup) acts as a safe and wir'-'esoriie anodyne without the s-Vghtest narcotic effect, ant!
