OOOCOOOCOCXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) The major was really in a most reprehensible tamper a<s he entered his little villa at Maida Vale and .consequently made matters general ly unpleasant for everybody and everything about. The parrot, a Weird bird, had squeaked a welcome to him while lifting up one foot and distended c?u\v, as though giv ing him its benediction, but he had only replied by flinging his muffler ?it it, whereupon it had burst into a series of strident laughs, inter spersed with a few choice expletives it liad learned from the major him self. The black cat had also mewed a welcome to her master, whereupon that master had endeavored to kick ?the "harmless necessary" one, though he had only missed his mark and fallen forward on to the coal ?cuttle and barked his shins, which ?did not make his temper any the more, angelic. Meanwhile the eat ?limbed on the arm of a chair and ?at .winking her green eyes at tho tiear major with a semiconteraptu ?us and sem;seraphic appearance. "Here, you, down there 1" t!te major howled, rushing to tho bead .of the basement stairs. "Mary, Eli Z&, where are you? Talking to the butcher's boy again, eh? What? rThe postman, is it? I'll postman you. I'll have discipline maintum <ecL What are you singing? 'I'm Dot a soldier at 13?pence a day/ eh? I'll show you. Come up here !" Then a few minutes afterward the nymph named Eliza appeared. "I ain't your wife," she began, ""thank 'evinga, and I ain't a soldier servant, for which I says thank 'evings again. If I don't suit, I can jgo. Mother says I oughtn't to stav an ii 'ouse with a man who uses thc jlangwidge you do." "Where's your mistress?" th? tmojoT ttsfaed in ? quieter voice now, perhaps because he thought that be tfore a fnture matron ho had bettei simmer down a little. "Grone to the club. She's got or appointment." "Has she?" the major said, look ing ominously-for his wife's fu ture comfort. "And as she though' .I was going to be away for a wee! I suppose she was going to have ar appointment at the club every da; and all day." "I dunno. I shouldn't; wonder .Her life isn't happy and isn't likel; to be. Then she's going to her ma' :f or three days, she says." "Yes, I don't doubt she does sa; eo. Er!" contemptuously. "He mother ! We'll see about that. He mother's, eh? All right. You cai ?go." The major flung himself down a a little Davenport, or Chesterfielc [tobie with a caster off, which wa bis wife's particular property, an* seized on some of her light smok ^colored* writing paper and her gol ?J pen and began to dash oil a ver strong letter, full of reprimands an -commands as to her future conduct fThe words "I intend to be obeyec and discirvne must be maintained (brought ti& first page to a conclu ?ion, and the major turned the shoe over full downward on to the hkH [ting book, which, as it had a kind c japanned cover with ridiculous nm tation opal bosses, or- bumps, a over it, slid about like a skater wh ia a beginner .on a sheet of ice. The ?when he had captured this wanderin Object he was just going to bring hi Outstretched hand down on the bac of the sheet when he uttered a hu .eous grunt. "What's this?" he cried, snatel ing up the buvard and rushing wit it to the window. "What'*: this i Matilda's handwriting? What ?Whatl Oh, the serpent! Ah, tl I.wretch! The minute my back wt turned too. Gone home to her motl er, eh? Yes, that's where she wi go before I put her in somethin else. Oh, heaven help me!" Then he held the telltale blottir paper up to the light after stamj ing his foot at the cat because had a painfully monotonous fit < sneezing and read: . "My Own Sweetest Love-Ha* I suppose it is Tie/ or is it an H meaning me, Henry ?-Tie, pot deluded husband, has gone a wt again, for a week this time, I a peet* (ls h??' the major mutte ed), 'and isn't likely to come bat till then. So-bother the blot <can go together.' ('Oh, Oh groaned the poor major.) 'I ha"? p told Eliza I am going to mothal fl for three days.' ('Here's nrioth fl blot/ the major said.) Take n I for a run to Brighton. I have mia [ j ed you so I can't tell you" fl "That will do!" the major sai fl "That's about enough, I think. I fl go and see my lawyer!" j Then he. looked at the jjarrot, wi fl had gone to sleep in an idiotic poe J ti on, and .at the cat, who was regar I ing,him with a malevolent glance? fl "All the same, it hat, eeo a ha I py home-for me," he mused. "Pu fl haps I've been a little stern wi 1 her. She always oaid I treated h fl like some wretched recruit I hi I got hold of, ho* still Ft* been kb I to her. I bought, her a new biou 1 the other day, ana she ?aid H sk fl tied her when I brought it hon fl sud she burst into tears and said s fl would always treasure ik for I fl ?ako and nev^r wear it out. A; fl now it's come to this. Hi go a I tea the lawyers* ("Eliza !" ho bawled out again the - head of the basement stai "EJiza, come here at oncei''_ Ton or twelve minutes afterward, which was probably Eliza's idea of "at once," that young maiden walk- j cd into the room and said: j ''If it's any more fault finding I'd rather go today, directly. I can't stand it. You don't know how to treat a woman, and" I "Perhaps I don't, Kliza," the ? major said, with a very suspicious ? look of tears in his eyes. "Perhaps I don't, and" "Lor', sir," the girl exclaimed at the appearanoe of those eyed, while her young and tender lieurt was touched at the sepulchral tone of . hie voice, "don't take it like that. I J don't mind your little tantrums, j and I'll stay to oblige and willing. I Missis tohl me not to mind and that 1 you couldn't lielp it. and it was only a way you'd packed up, but that your 'art was good." i "Ah!" the major shrieked now. "Your mistress I Oh, never mention her. I'm-I'm going away again for ' a little time. I-I shan't bo homo I for-for-well, never mind. Grood by, Polly," stroking tho hoad of tho somnolent parrot, which instantly awoke and bit his finger savagery. I "Goodby, Tib," to tho cai. who ig . nored him with glacial indifference, ?and goodby, Eliza. I-I-never mind. Oh, Matilda*" I "Goodby V9 Eliza repeated while weeping. She bad a kindly heart. "Goodby ! Why, whatever for P And ain't you going to say goodby to m LBS is, where Just come inr* "Come in! I won't see her!** But all the same the major had to see her. A handsome young woman , burst into the room, a young woman J charmingly dressed, whose first I words were, "Oh, the sweet darling has come back, and there he is !" j "Yes, I have come back to my ?wrecked home and happiness. ? Wrecked by a viper!" the major groaned. "My dear Samuel !" his wife cried. "Have you gone mad? When you must have got my letter telling you that Tib had gone off again. And now you call the sweet thing a vi per." . ?rib!" the major exclaimed. "Tib! Pray, madam, was it Tib you were going to Brighton with ?" "You goose ! You never read thc letter I sent you to the house you were staying at. You never" "I've read that," her husband said, giving the blotting book such a slap that it slid off the desk on to the light pink carpet,^carrying the ink pot with it. "That's enough for any husband!" "So it ought to be. But surely you got my letter ?" "No. I went on to my old colo nel's yesterday morning, but his wife's mother was there, BO-so-I came home." "Well, as you've been looking at my blotting book, you had better do so again, or I'll do it for you." After wbicli the wife of the major's heart picked tho thing up and re peated the letter while supplying what the blots had obliterated. And then x that bewildered personage found that the "IL" as he had thought, wee a lady's way of writing "Tib," and where blot No. 1 had fallen it had obliterated "we," and blot No. 2 had obliterated "and. you can." At which moment the poet man brought thc letter itself, ad dressed to the major and forwarded from his old colonel's house. Ai first his wife waa terribly angry at his cruel suspicions. Then, after be had gone down on his knees and promised all sorts of things, such as not raving quite so loudly at the servants and fussing about the house so much and promising to keep his temper better, she, forgave him. And to show her forgiveness she wore the awful blouse for one whole afternoon when she was "not at home." And Tib and the parrot hod a fight and then went to sleep together amicably, and Eliza beam ed on, the happy home.-London King. _ German Red Tapes. Bed tape as made in Germany seems to be a very choice article. A German woman sends London Truth the following anecdote: A female teacher in a school in West' phalia had to make an official com munication to the minister of edu cation. She used for the purpose what is called "eagle paper, having the royal eagle* upon it as a water mark, and duly dispatched ii to Ber lin through the school board of Es sen. After a few days the letter came back, with an intimation that it must be rewritten, as the eagle appeared upon it head downward. Evidently Berlin smelt "Majestaets beleidigung." - Mr. A. W.

Tho Emperor Napoleon III. had a double of about his own ago in tho contractor for public fetes during tho second empire. His name has escaped my recollection. He hud also contracts for soldiers' ?hoes and uniforms, and he kept hiij stores nt tiki old hippodrome after the lease to a circus company fell in. His likeness to the emperor startled me tlie ?rst time I sow him. Tliis happened at tho ticket office of thc Passy railway station. When I scanned him more closely I saw that he wa? not Louis Napoleon risen from tlio gravo. No double will bear scrutiny, however well made up, as this particular ono would have been. Ho Knew of tho resemblance I had noticed and gloried in it. The Comte do Taris also had u double, or what looked ono nt a distance. Tlie likeness, strong enough to havo been tho pivot of a tragedy of er rors, disappeared greatly when ho took off his lint. The Comte do Peris had a pointed head liko tho German emperor's; the person I spook of as resembling him had a full forehead projecting near the roots of the hair. I often saw old and young ladies extremely like Queen Victoria. Tho former mostly came from Frank fort or parts of Franronia, near tho duchy of Coburg. The sister of tho late Mrs. Moses Levy of the Daily Telegraph could, had her complex ion been sunburned, have easily {mssed at tho age of eighty for tho ate queen. Louis Philippe's double, sn Italian named Chioppini, emi grated to the Cape. I nave some where a letter dictated by tho late Lord Newborough to his son and addressed to me, in which his lord ship stated that the first time he saw the citizen king he exclaimed, "What an image of Chiappini!" and could not keep his eyes from follow ing him for a whole evening. In history we have the false Smcr dis. Different impostors passed themselves off os Sebastian, king of Portugal, who was believed to have been killed in a battle with the Moors in Morocco. Miss Jane Por ter early in the last century revived the legend in a novel. She sided with those who held Sebastian to have been wounded only and hunt ed down by Philip II. of Spain, who seized on his heritage. Three "false Joans of Arc" appeared in the six years following that of her execu tion. Two of them avoided every one who had known lier.-Paris Cor. London Truth. Cure For the Blues. An Atchison girl said goodby to her dearest beloved, who was goinj* away to be gone two months. It was a painful ordeal, for with floods, fevers, railroad accidents and othet women there was no telling if she would ever see him again. She sobbed till the sound of his footsteps had died away, when, feel ing that she needed something to sustain her, she went out to the ice box and ate a plate of cold ham, three pieces of fried chicken, hali a cake and a piece of blackberry pis and drank three bottles of ginger ale. Then she went upstairs, slept soundly, and next morning felt so well and happy that she fqKind time to write him a letter telling him she waa wretched without him.-Atchi son Globe. Disarmed. By this time the controversy had reached the stage of personalities. "I don't wonder the baby is fret ful and irritable sometimes/' ex claimed Mrs. Ferguson shrilly. "She inherits your disposition 1" "Perhaps she does, madam," reck lessly retorted Mr. Ferguson. "Per haps she does. But she inherits your looks." "Bless her heart, so she does!" said his wife, catching the baby in her arms and crooning over the cherub. "George, dear, I take it all back!" Then, manlike, he went out and gloated over thia, as if he had won a victory by superior shrewdness. Chicago Tribune. An Apology. An excited military looking gen tleman entered tho editorial sanc tum one afternoon, exclaiming: 'That notice of my death is false, sir. I will horsewhip you within an inch of your life, sir, if you don't apologize in your next issue." The editor" inserted the following next day: "We extremely regret to announce that the .paragraph which stated that Major Blazer was dead is without foundation."-London Tel egraph. _. .
