Tarvenuo, who spent an hour at his club every day, came in with a very clouded brow. . "Something; very serious has hap? pened," said the retired linen draper.

In the street meanwhile Solange was biting her lips till the blood started. "What idiots we were! We have spoiled everything!

' Tho EUbject tf-'gomg Hnto society to? gether is one of endless discussion be? tween men and their wives; these favor? ing, pressing, insisting on it; those op? posing, ridiculing, protesting against it. Women - often, carry their jpoint by de? claring that if their husbands will not go out they will net, either. A just or gen-, erous man is averse to keeping his wife at home simply' because ne considers social entertainments of any and every I kind stupid and disagreeable. He knows that she delights in them, arid- that for-] herto relmqi??h-' them is a positive' sa<>'1 riflce. There is no more reason why she I should stay away than why he should go; and, therefore, he goes, but goes reluc? tantly, with ill will, and, as. at were, by; compulsion. It may seem. singular that she should Eermit -him to. knowing as she does how ateful the thing is. It seems downright ' selfish in her?and women are rarely selfish?but she believes that she cannot afford to release him; that her frequent? ing society without him is the beginning of their separation, of their leading dis? tinct lives, of their steady divergence. Her belief may not be correct, but It is \ sincere. Hence is she not warranted in maintaining her position to the last? At any rate, she maintains it. though I not without great cost, greater often than I she realizes. Her husband resents more and more his-dragooning into" society. Ho never puts on his dress suit, or orders the carriage for that purpose, without a feeling of inward bitterness of his wife's exactingness, of his submission to a wrong; aadihefeeling finally produces! I - habitual .dissatisfaction .and cynicism:' His. wife is unconsciously bringing about what she is trying to avoid?settled dis~. content wi th her j andj th? conj ugal con? dition; It were better she should let liim -1 obey his propensity than thwart it thus;"' for alienation would be slower with free? dom than with fetters. What a deal of mischief-is society, fri? volous, hollow, insignificant society, cap? able of doing! The dragooned husband feels that he is a social impostor; 'that he abuses hospitality by partaking of it in perverse spirit. He is m fib mood fo eri-~ tertain or be entertained. He Is .bored to i death, and his countenance'shows it. He! yawns behind hand or handkerchief, and for the moment fairly despises his wife, noticing across the room her animated manner and obvious gratification.. His. look and air and gait are funereal If -he were.buryinga friend he would, he fancies, feel more cheerful . Stealing into a corner, ever and; anon, to glance ' furtively at his watch,- he thinks that it '| must have stopped. Has there ever be? fore been so long an evening? His wife indicates that she is about to. leave; but he knows what that means, and resigns himself to another.leaden-footed hour. Everything must have an end; finally she departs, and his face for the mo? ment is flushed with pleasure, imme? diately dispelled by the remembrance that there are to be five evenings more of similar boredom within the.-coming week. Heu^eams'ofwhatheh^ gone and must'undergo hv the- torture chambers of society; his sleep is broken J and.feverish; ho rises in the morning' despondent and irritable. His wife may dimly suspect the cause; but she lacks the- intelligence, perhaps the magna? nimity, to relieve him of Ms onerous obli? gation. In the end he will be very likely to throw it off, and it will be accom? panied by no little of his old affection and sympathy. ? The women are few who would make good their declaration of surrender? ing society If their husbands should flatly refuse to escort them They think they would, and for a while they might abstain; but the enticement is .too great to be long resisted. First, they will go out alone occasionally; then frequently; at last regi?arly. Women-who have dragooned their lieges for several seasons, and thenn'acq^ttea;'tb^ risk of losing tho early place occupied Ln their hearts (is not such loss mutual and unavoidable, with most couples, in any circumstances?); but they get on far more comfortably. j Men love freedom above ' everthing; and when they have it they are more amiable and patient than when it is in any way curtailed. Husbands who have been exceedingly disagreeable at home, so long as.they have felt constrained' to ? discharge social duties in their own per? sons, . have behaved quite decently after turning over those duties entirely to their partners," Tho average woman gets rid of her romance and eentiirient by five or six years of connubial experience (tho first year will answer for the average man), and prefers. domestio peace and toleration to the cheriahment of the lof? tiest ideals.?Junius Henri Browne in Chicago America, A Small Economist, A little boy whose parents were al? ways j discussing ? ways and means in his. presence was constantly reminded, of the expense of everything until the early lessons of "domestic econ? omy were sunk deep In his soul When he was 8 years old some friends visited the family, having"-with them^a-year Old baby.

AT ONE TIME A MONARCH, HE IS NOW A 'LONGSHOREMAN. CapU Farrell Tells the Story la the Pres? en co of tho Kinjr?He Ato the Ears and Ton Era o of a Missionary?Uro eight to This Country as a Slave in 1857. The party boarded the Lord of the Isles and were soon discussing some food Santa Cruz in the cabin of Capt arrelL ? s If "I 'Was midshipman' In the English navy." said the captain, "serving on board her majesty's good ship Scorpion thirty years ago, when slavery was still an institution of this country. The Scorpion waa dispatched from the Med? iterranean to loin the Atlantic squadron in the Bight of Benin, and had orders to put down the slave trade, then unusually active. Before we had been three months on the coast we captured half a dozen dhows. We were informed by a mis ?'??nary that' tfijare was a camp or depot..] about a mile inland, where slaves and ivory were exchanged for rum and money, and as our instructions were to extirpate the evil wherever it was to be found, 500 marines and blue jackets of the squadron were marched to attack this'depot.,.1: Tho resistance wo encoun? tered was merely nominal, and I believe our small force could have taken all r Central Africa. m "Now It happened fhat Corambo TV. king or sultan, of western Foulah, had dieg? a~.few days bjf?te tbe??ttack, and hisliom^errrni^ to your majesty^a reportef'of Tho^'New York Star)?his son, I say, succeeded him as Carambo V." Carambo smiled in a melancholy sort of way at this recital, and tears came into his eyes, which ho turned away his. head to conceal ? "Take another drop of Santa Cruz, Carambo," suggested the captain. The king complied, and the captain con? tinued his story. ? THE KING IN BATTLE. "Intelligence of the breaking up of camp, and or the consequent stoppage of supplies in cash, rum and muskets, reached Carambo by carriers early next morning, and burning with ardor to have revenge, and signalize the begin? ning of his reign with a victory, he marched an army down to the coast, which reached our camp four dayB later, and promptly began an assault To do his majesty notiiihg but' justice, stripling as he then was, holed his savage legions like a hero, and though his warriors fell thick and fast around him, lie jumped, ' spear and buckler in hand, right into our hno of riflo pits with his weird war cry of 'Amoot hail hail hai! |hoil Amooi' He was wounded on the right temple with a. sword, and captured after a des? perate strogglo, while those of his party who did not 'uisperso. were also taken prisoners. It was ah ugly .gash you got, Carambo?" "Yes, Massa Farr'l," said Carambo, ? turning the right side of his face toward the narrator, and showing a scar stretch? ing from tho outward corner of .the eye down to tho jawbone. Tho mark was barely perceptible, but it was there, and no mistake. .... . . m "Before Carambo left his capital for the attack," the captain continued, "he had ordered the roasting and eating of a ^Portuguese, missionary priest. Did you eatahyiof turn, Carambo?' ?*fS"es,''\ahswered the king, simply, "II ateI his e?rs'?nd his tonguo. * "? "Yes. I remember. It was for this that, while we released his subjects after a day or two, we took the monarch him? self prisoner to theVIaland ot^cension. We also, learned that he'hod 'sacrificed fifty of the late king's wives on his tomb, and. was about. as sanguinary, a young. I 1iuar?generally'as; might be picked up m> <Cem^.Africa." u " ~ "I was the Napoleon," spoke up Ca? rambo, proudly, as he gulped down an? other snifter of Santa Cruz.' CHECKING A .ROYAL CAREER; S '.'Possibly. .1 visited the island two months after, and found Carambo hand ahd**glove with the royal marines who .garrisoned the place. ?fle had learned to 'smoke, and' drank all^the rum he could , get with great gusto. He wore a pair of long'WelBn'gfon boots and a grenadier's big' shako,-which were all he did wear, and enough, too. In that hot climate. The shako was distorted into the shape *of 3a'Crown/and with this on his royal cranium he stalked about tho island, and accepted the title of king with infinite i grace. I saw him dozens of times after i this, when calling .in for;; coal and water, and found him'' growing so demoralized that I wrote to the admiral, who, in turn, . represented his case to the government, with the result that he was released and sent home, on swearing 'allegiance to Queen Victoria.

At the last meeting of the Forestry as ; sociation, at Grand Rapids, Mich., Mr. K Davenport, of Woodland, Mich., read a paper in which occurred fee following statements: "I am here for the purpose of saying a good word for the sugar ma? ple. I believe that within the maple belt no other tree lays equal claims to the attention of those interested in the preservation of our forests or offers so good and economical means for tho ac? complishment of that purpose." In considering the subject it was urged that the sugar maple fills all the desira? ble conditions or forestry better than any other tree, and that, everything con? sidered, the maple sugar industry pays a great profit and may bo considered in the fight of a permanent investment, and that for forestry purposes proper, where the preservation of living forests is the desideratum, those trees are the most valuable that yield a revenuo with? out the loss of the tree itself. Timber trees dech're a dividend only at death, and ther^is a strong tempta? tion for their destruction. The nut bearing and sugar yielding trees declare annual dividends, and consequently there is a strong reason for their preservation. But nut oearing trees flourish over a wide range, and there may be some dan Ser of overproduction, besides, as a rule, le timber of such trees is valuable and there is a constant temptation to sacri? fice future welfare to present profit. With the sugar maple it is different. Of all trees yielding valuable products, its timber is worth tho least in the markets; its annual dividends are high, and there is no danger of overproduction. It pos? sesses the prime requisites for forestry purposes, viz., a valuable product and timber of little market value. Its life is about as .secure as that of a valuable tree can be. The product of tho sugar maple is one of tho choicest luxuries, and only needs to be known in its piirity to be ap? preciated. The Girl Who Bet. Peter Birch, the celebrated horse trainer, tells tho following story: "Once I was at the Monmouth track it was this year, too?and I went upon the benches, where I happened to sit just hehind a young lady of about 17, who I saw was in great trouble. Presently sho turned and asked me which horse I thought would win, and I noticed she ?coulu hardly keep from crying ns sho spoke. I told her that I did not know the winner for a certainty. Sho asked me to put some money for her on a horse, and I frankly told her she did wrong to hand her money to a perfect stranger; but she insisted, and I took it and bet for her. After, the race I brought her back ?80, and y?u never saw anybody so delighted as she was.! Then she told mo her story. She lived in New York, and kept house for her father and brother, and they had given-her. $100 to pay somo bills. She had gone to the races, instead, and had lost ?70 when she spoke to me. Sho was desperato at the time, not knowing what to do, as she dared not go home without the money. I advised her never to bet again, and she promised me that she would not. But ner case was only one of scores that I have seen; and there seems -to be a peculiar fascination for women to bet when once they get to fre quenting'the track. "-r-Boston Traveller. Sweeping Superstitions. In Sweden, it Is regarded as an un? lucky thing to enter the door just as the dirt-rnad_e in'sweeping reaches it. Celi? bacy awaits the unfortunate person do? ing so. Tho English housewife Will not, however, sweep th? dirt out of tho front door, fearing to sweep away tho fortune of tho house. A Venetian superstition is that tho young girl across, whoso feet dirt is swept wdllnever get married. In England, when signs announce the coming of a stranger, the floor must be swept, but- here again it Is unlucky to sweep at night, blossomed broom is not to be used. ? Ih Westphalia, the house is carefully swept at Shrovetide with a new broom, which Is then hung up over the door and preserved. In some places in Germany a broom is burned in the fires kindled on May day. At others, people go up a hill on Wa purgis night, taking with them all the old orooms they can collect and burning them. Czechs do the same on St. John's, day. The broom also possesses healing power. If cows' udders have been caused to swell by weasels, it is con? sidered sufficient, in one district of Eng? land, to stroke them three times with a broom, which is then silently laid under the grain bin.-^Cor. St. Louis Globe Democrat . A Novel Telephone. Tho Lowth stettio-telephone hails from Chicago, and is a combined transmitter and receiver. A hollow extension about four inches long is attached to tho're? ceiver, from tho end of which a Small 'button protrudes slightly. Tho button ?is placed against the throat near the vocal chorda, and the receiver is held against the ear in tho usual manner. When the operator speaks the vibrations of the throat are transmitted with, it is said, distinct clearness. The instrument' Is operated by the muscular vibrations that accompany the utterance of words. Tho inventor, James Lowth, is said to have been experimenting and working on this instrument for .over ten years. When he first applied for a patent, three years ago, the authorities at Washington thought him a crank', and refused to is? sue one. He attached the instrument to wires In the office and asked over it: "What do you think now?" Back over the wire came: "I give In. It works per? fectly." Our Chicago informant says it has been successfully operated between that city and Milwaukee, and In Pitts burg it worked over a line soventy-five miles In length, on which were twenty five Bell instruments.?Electrical Re? view.

To Save Life Frequently requires prompt action. An hour's delay waiting for the doctor may be attended with serious consequences, especially in cases of Croup, Pneumonia, and' other throat and lung troubles. Hence,, no family should be without a bottle- of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which has proved itself, in thousands of cases, the best Emergency Medicine ever discovered. It gives prompt relief and prepares the way for a thorough cure, which Is certain to b? effected by itscontinued use. S. H. Latimer, M. D., Mt. Vernon, Ga., says: " I have found Ayer's Cherry Pectoral a perfect cure for Croup in all cases. I havo known the worst cases relieved in a very short time by its use; and I advise all families to use it in sud? den emergencies, for coughs, croup, &c." A. J. Eidson, M. D., Middletown, Tenn., says: "I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral with the best effect in my practice. This wonderful prepara? tion once saved my life. I had a con? stant cough, night sweats, was greatly reduced in flesh, and given up by my Jhysician. One bottle and a half of the ectoral cured me." "I cannot say enough in praise of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral," writes E. Bragdon, of Palestine, Texas, "believ? ing as I do that, but for its use, I should long since have died."
