Ca the wall of an "old curiosity shop" tangs a key a foot in length anet the wards ma ted up. xnis is the rtory attached to it: In an old brick house on. the bank of the river lived Martin Bentz with his wife and daughter. He was Mr. Graylev*8 managing man-kept his books, paid the hands and sold the timber. The office was in a cor ner room in the house, and in the wall was built the safe. It didn't pretend to be fireproof, but both old Grayley and his clerk believed that all the burglars* in the state could not gel into ii, and every night he locked tho door with seri ous mien arid much deliberation and then handed the koy to Martin, who kept it till next morning. To ono of our ma?ern artists it would bo ? pleasant 'four's work to open the old strong t>ox with a key holo that you could put your three fingers in, but these were primitive days, and old Martin felt safe as Jong as the key was in his posses sion. Bentz was a German by birth, but his wife American,- bred and born in Eishtown. Although the couple were not always accordant in opinion, on the subject they I agreed, and that was about the beauty and excellence of their daughter Mabel, and parental - judgments.. are often falli?le, but there could be no ques tion as to Mabel Bentz'e merits. She was not only a good daughter, but a very beautiful girl. No race in 'America produces more lovely- wo men than the German Americans, and. there could be no better illus tration of this than Martin Bentz't daughter. ! ' She was not much liked by thc neighboring girls, as they were rath er a rough lot in those days, much given to promiscuous dances thal generally ended in a free fighl among their admirers, BO Mabel b> avoiding them got the credit of be ing proud. She was assistant in c millinery store on Second street anc was never, without an escort home but very few were permitted to come to the house, and the girl herseh was circumspect and as yet indiffer ent to the advances of any of he] male acquaintances. She had two persistent suitors both young men. Ona, George Gra ham, was a boatbuildar, a f air,-4H?8& ly fellow and an excellent mechanic but he was not handsome, and, whil< a favorite with the old mau, Mrs Bentz had a very pronounced dis like for him. The other, Peter Daily, was i very showy young man, ostensibly i plumber, but he was seldom knowi to work, and yet ,he wore goo( clothes and always seemed to hav< plenty of money. He was rathe: good looking, but there was a shift; expression in his hard gray eyes th a was not prepossessing. But ne wa Mrs. Bentz's favorite. It was Martin's custom to hanj the safe key over* the mantelpiece and it seemed to give Aim mucl pleasure to sit and watch it. H was given to moderate potation and at times was boastful and indis creet in speech. One Friday nigh the family were assembled in thei one sitting room, and both Graban and Doily were present. Martin wa telling of a big sale of timber h had made for Mr. Grayley and ho^ the price, Boine $2,500, had bee: paid in that day. Daily's eyes look ed more xurtiv? than ever, and Ma bel, glancing over her sowing thought how mean his expressioi was at times, but the talk becam general, and Daily soon left. Next evening he was again a vis itor, bringing with him a friend, tall, thin, showily dressed man. H had also brought Martin a bottle o brandy. This was opened, and th old man became * quite conviv?a Suddenly, a tremendous crash wa heard outside. The entire part made a rush for the door, all bu Daily's thin friend. He, quick as cat, mounted a chair and, \akin down the safe key, substituted ax other, in looks *nuch the same. Th others came back in a few moment It .was only a pile ci Bp?rs that ha fallen, no doubt the workl&f the ba ? boys that infested the wharfs. Daily and his friend went awa; and George Graham came in an was Boon deeply engaged in convoi Bation with Mabel. As was the eui tom, the parents withdrew, an George be?an to explain to Mab his improving prospects and his d< sire that she should become h wife. . The girl's temperament wi placid and rather cold, and, wiri ehe liked Graham, she was not i the least stirred by passion, so si answered calmly that it would n< be right for hex to accept withoi her mother's consent, and hero el stopped. "Oh, my, George, there is son one in the office! I'll call father 1' Graham Btcie to t*xti! door and sa through the office window a fail gleam, of light. Ho did not hesitat but, going around tho house, pus! ed open the door of the om iploree men were in front of t open safe. Graham gave a she and dashed at them.; He was ac ti and powerful, but a blow on t head stopped him for a mome: and he saw. tho rabbets cseu through tho end window. Ho grai cd something that lay on tho de and followed. They wero eviden making for a boat, at the end of i wharf, but the hm?bno&t stumbl ; jand ioU,_and_as Her sprang up ham gave Tum a Tjlbw^n* the head that laid him put. Old'Martin join ed him wit\ a lantern. 'Turn the fellow over till we can seo his face. As I live, it is Philip Daily! The scoundrel! What Lave you got ia your hr.udF George lpoked. 1 , "Why, it is surely the sale key/' Martur was amazed. ' The genuino was certainly in its accustomed place in. the house, and yet the safe had been opened. Comparison of the two at once made the plan of the robbery manifest-the key in Graham's hand had been tho means of bringing Daily to justice, and he went to jail with a very sore head. J Graham renewed his suit, but Mrs. j Bentz had evidently resolved that i he should not marry her daughter, and Mabel had not force of charac ter enough to act independently. So George, bidding them all goodby, left, and next day they heard that he had shipped on a vessel bound for India. Mabel mourned his absence and, as is often the case, found that she loved him more than she had imag ined. But three years passed away, and no word came from her old lover. Martin Benthe health began to fail, and his v,ife thought that it was time for her daughter to marry. Mr. Grayley had .a nephew named Sands, who worked around the place, and he had been paying Mabel much attention and ?nally spoke to her mother, and after much persuasion and some secret tears the girl ac cepted him, and they were married. . Sands was not a bad fellow, but he rras utterly feeble in character, and after four years of dull and spirit less married life Mabel found her self a childless widow. Her father was dead, and when her mother spoke of her marrying again Mabel j said, with unusual firmness: "Moth er, your interference broke up my life, and I will not allow it to influ ence me again. Don t speak to mo about these matters, as you only give me pain/' George Graham had prospered as a sailor, 'and one day# he came to Philadelphia captain of a magnifi cent clipper ship. Ho had cargo consigned to a firm on Delaware avenue and went to its counting house and was very politely receiv ed. Captains were bigger people then than now. ' Glancing around, he saw hanging on the wall a large key. Memory at once recalled the house in the boatyard and his lost sweetheart. ''You are looking at that key/-' said one of the partners. ^Well, that belonged to an uncle of mine named Grayley. It has a his tory, and when the old house was torn down I kept this as a me mento." Graham was silent for a moment and then asked, "Do you know any thing of the family that lived in your uncle's house ?" "The Bentzes ? Oh, yes. My un cle left old Martin's widow $100 a year as long as she lives. We paj* it to her. Her widowed daughter, Mrs. Sands, a very ?retty and good woman, comes for it, and, by the bye, ifs due today, and here she comes. Do you know her?" Graham was strongly moved. He met her at the door and said, ''Ma bel, do you remember me ?" . Poor girl! She stared at him foi a moment and then burst into tears. "Oh, yes, George, I remember you weU/' The sequel needs no telling. Cap tain Graham made but one more voyage and then married his . early love. Old Mrs. Bentz fortunately died soon afterward. The old key had been a talisman, and it hung in the dingy office with a tag on telling from whence it came untU a new generation came, in, and then it was thiown in the rubbish and now hangs battered, rusty and forlorn on the wall of a rag shop. > The First Submarino Boat. ,v*. The first actual submarine boat was that of Fulton, the American engineer, Which, plied under the Seme near the Invalides, Paris, and also at Brest and Havre in 1801. Fulton was a son of Irish immi grants and born in Pennsylvania in 1765: His boat, the Nautilus, arose out of his experiments with a tor pedo meant to explode warships, was shaped like a cigar and was over twenty-one feet long. Napoleon, with all his practical power and foresight, only saw in Fulton a char latan and. adventurer, but afterward had good cause to regret his blun der. Fulton died in 1815, and the torpedo and submarine boat were almost forgotten for about half a century. Something That Will do ?on Good.

Europe ?nd Amert a Clamors For lt, but Hlgham Wont Sell. To possess the celebrated "LT?P baru iurniture" is the ambition of the wealthy, lovers of old f orniture ia Enrope and the United States, but it is an ambition which probad bly never will be realized until the family of tho present owners be comes extinct, for each heir entails che collection as far as he can, and no amount of money ever has tempted tho Highams of Higham to think for a moment of parting with their value? possessions. This furniture is a collection of perfect early English furniture and also of flawless ''Chippendale" and "Sheraton" and is in tho farmhouse of Mr. Higham of Higham, whoso ancestors, a family of yeoman farm ers, have cultivated the farm called Thc Hangings, near Higham, Eng land, for centuries. Wealthy con noisseurs in this country and Eu rope have offered enormous amounts for tho furniture, but the Highams will not sell a stick. Tho actual value placed on the collection, which consists of fifty pieces, is $250,000,but Henry Grant, the British railway millionaire, of fered $400,000 for it two years ago, an offer which was refused, like all other offers. Several pieces of this furniture date back to the twelfth century, and the more modern Sher aton chairs alone are valued at $100 each, while an old oak chest is ap praised at $30,000. No old "county family" or fam ily of title in the three kingdoms has a finer collection of anticue fur niture than Mr. Higham, tho yeo man, if, indeed, they have any sin gle piece that can compare with his in all their castles and halls, and as long as there is a Higham of Hig ham the furniture will stay in the farmhouse of The Hangings.-New York PresB; Deafness. "Deafness is very much more general than is supposed," is the statement of a famous physician. "Many persons who think they have perfect hearing are living under a delusion. In most cases, however, the ordinary deafness of people ia the result of accumulations ot wax in the ear. Those who are troubled in this way should never attempt to remove the wax themselves. They should go to a physician. Ninety nine out of a hundred cases of chronic deafness aro. caused by ca tarrh of the nose and may be cured by treatment of that disease. "People should be warned against putting anything into their ears, such as spoons, ear scoops, tooth picks, matches or finger nails. The mechanism of the ear is very deli cate and is easily disarranged, and the use of such instruments by in experienced, persons is productive of the most serious results.'' Thirteen Kept Him Back. Some people carry their supersti tions to ridiculous extremes. A fussy little man crowded into tho elevator car on the ground floor of the Beal Estate Trust building and hastily ran his eye over the other passengers. He was counting them, and he heaved a sign of satisfaction when ho found that there were twelve. The elevator man was just about to dose the door when an other man, who seemed in a great hurry, crowded in. , The fuFsy little fellow who had been couirting noses cried out : "Wait a minute 1 Let me off I" He squeezed his way out, and the car started upward. "He makes me tired," remarked the elevator man. "I've seen him do that more than once. He's afraid something will happen if there are thirteen passengers on at ono time." -Philadelphia Record. Locating His Bet. During the Newcastle raceB on tho Town Moor when a famous horse won the Northumberland Plate the cry of "Hats off in front 1" was raised and obeyed during the decision of the great event, says the Newcastle Chronicle. When tho horses had passed, the "uncovered" ones, of course, "recovered" them selves. A few moments afterward a young Northumbrian began to lift the hats j of the spectators round about him and replaced thon with' expressions of vexation. Oh lifting tho hat of one of the spectators he was asked what he was trying to do. "Hoot, mon," ho exclaimed, "Aw bet a croon wiv a baaldheed?d chap, an* Aw cannot find him I" To Stop Runaway Horses. In Sicilian cities an appliance which is in general use and has been for a lohg time is an arrangement by which tho breath of a horse is shut off when he attempts to run away. Standing out from tho nos trils of tho horses are little leather disks, which the pulling of a little rein by tho driver claps down upon the animal's nose, thus shutting off his breath if he tries to get beyond control.

HOW JIM WAS SAVED. A Court Incident In Which General Robert Toomba Figured. Tho love that many of thc former slaves felt for their old masters and mistresses has been illustrated in oountless stories. An incident, which li up pened in Georgia some years aft er the civil war is related by the, Columbia State. A negro man, strong end healthy, but getting gray from years, was on trial for murder. Ho hod killed an-! other negro and had been lying in jail for. somo time, awaiting his trial. Tho testimony against him was given by other.negroes who wit nessed tho killing. When the caso was called for trial by tho presiding judge, an old man roso and in a voice deep and low, but full of mark ed gentleness, said, "Will your hon or please mark mo for tho defense ?" It was General liobcrt Toombs. His faco was wrinkled with age, but it was largo and strong, and tho lines of intellect mado deeper wrin kles than those of age. His white hair rolled back in curls from a splendid brow. His form was largo and tall and straight, although his movements were ?low with the years. His eyes still flashed as when ho stood in tho senate chamber at Washington. Tlio witnesses all seemed unfriend ly toward the prisoner. In his- own statement he claimed that the kill ing was in self defense. General Toombs analyzed the tes timony of the eyewitnesses and then concluded thus : "Your honor, please, and gentle men of the jury, a few years .ago my only brother fell wounded, on tho battlefield of Gettysburg. He lay there bleeding to death, with no friendly hand to help him. Shot and shell were sweeping tho earth all about him. No friend could go to him. No surgeon dared approach him. "My brother had a body servant, a negro man, who waited on him in camp. The negro 6aw his master's danger, and straight out into that sheet of hattie and flame and death ho went. A piece of shell torc tho flesh from his breast, but on he went, and; gathering my brother in his arms, tho blood of thc man min gling with the blood of the master, he bore him to safety and life. Jim, open your collar/' The prisoner rose and opened his shirt in the front. On his breast the jury saw tho long, jagged scars where the shell had torn its way. "Jim's skin may be black," the general continued, "he may bo a ne gro, but the man who would do what he did has a soul too white ever to have killed a man except in defense of his own life." Tho jury agreed with him, and Jim was cleared. Just His Case. Fr?a father was at the station when ho stepped from tho train. "Why, Thomas, what are you home for? It isn't holiday timo now, is it?" said the old man. "No," replied Tom, looking round for his trunk. "Well, I thought you were not coming home again until the end of the term?" "Changed my mind," was the la conic reply of the young hopeful. "And I ain't going back." "I always thought that waa a very good school," said his father-''one of the best schools in the country." 'Tm nov going back, all the same," said Tom, stepping from one foot to the other. "Tom," said the old man earnest ly, "that school has turned out some of. the smartest men of this coun try." . "Yes, I know that-they turned me out!"-London Answers. Evil Influence of a Peaked Roof. As an example of the superstition prevailing even among thoso in au thority in tho Chinese empire tho following extract from tho Hong kong Daily Press is printed : "The Tartar general of Canton has been troubled by an evil influ ence in his yemen which, in ono month caused tho death of his wife and daughter, as well as of a former Tartar general. A fung shui pro fessor was finally called in. Ho look ed over the city and decided tho evil influence was the roof of the library of the government school for for eign languages. The roof, which was a peaked one, was at once re moved and is now being replaced by a flat one." An Irrevocable Oath. When a new member was initi ated into tho ancient Westphalian vchmgerichto and swore to keep the secrete of the society from wife and child, father and mother, sister o-d brother, from fire and sword, frt m tho things warmed by tho sun or nourished by tho rain, ho did so with the thumb and two fingers of his right hand upon the cross hilt of a sword. An oath so taken was held to be irrevocable and not to be annulled by even tho popo himself. -Chambers' Journal.

COUNTERFEIT BILLS. ashlers and Bank Tellers Detect Thom by Instinct. Ii seems wonderful to the casual bserver that cashiers, bank tellers nd others who handle large mounts of paper money are able at , glauco to detect a bai note. Ex actly what it is that does expose the ountcrfeit the best experts find it lifficult to tell. They say they know t instinctively. They judge not mly by thc looks of a note, hut by he "feel" of it. It .is obvious that a counterfeit loto must bo widely circulated to nako it profitable. No sooner does i counterfeit appear than its de K?ription is widely published. Those ?vho aro likely to suffer by taking jounterfeit notes make it their busi aess to be on thc lookout for new Dnes, which aro soon distinguisha ble by some easily discovered mark A teller knows of just what de aominations aro the counterfeits and just where to look for tho tell tale marks, lie detects tho spurious noto as easily ns tho reader does a misspelled word. It is no particular effort. It is habit. Tho principal reason why coun terfeits aro.BO easily detected is be cause in somo feature they are al most uniformly of inferior quality. Tliis is, indeed, tho main protection of tho public. Genuine notes aro engraved and printed almost regard less of cost, and thc very best mate rials arc used in thc engraving and ?Hinting. It is done in large eatab iBhments, with costly materials and by the best workmen. It is prac tically impossible for counterfeiters to do as well. They must work in secret and at a disadvantage and of necessity cannot have tho experi-, once to produce such perfect work. If they get thc engravings dono nicely, they fail in thc printing, or if tiley get thc engraving and print ing done well they fail in securing tho proper paper. Of late years there has been a great deal of care taken to get paper manufactured expressly for tho notes issued by tho government. The national bank notes are also is sued by the government, so that tho Bournes of supply for exactly, that kind of paper are controlled.-New York Herald. g Sip Your Milk Slowly. Many people complain that they cannot drink milk without being distressed by it. The reason is that they drink it too fast.
