Howa ? osioBOitMoiittacat* "Wanted, a wife She must be eat and stylish, and possessed of hat rare good quality in woman, common sense, in dress as well as in domestic matters. There, old boy. you have in a nutshell what I long for more than all else on earth. I am tired of this bachelor life, and when the woman whom I think fulfills all requirements crosses my path, I shall use all honorable means to win her." "And how long do you expect to wait before finding the embodiment of such fancies, Tom?" Harry Hall asked. "The girls of this day think of nothing but their pleasure and the latest fashions. They have no notion of being bothered with household matters, and thereto-e pay no attention to them. If they are able to <lecids what piece of silk will maW: the prettiest waist, how the new ball gown may he cut. and can criticise n neighbor's new tailor-made gown, they have reached the height of their ambition as well as the limit of their mental faculties. That is ray reason lor remaining a bachelor." "Don't you think you are a little severe on the gentler set, Hal? Surely there are exceptions. I will admit that the girls you have just described are to be found in plenty, but, thank Heaven! they are not in the majority. I hope to meet my ideal in fle^h and blood before many moons; and when I do?well, when I do meet her, just keep your eye on a fellow making the best of his advantages." "How do you expect to recognire your ideal?" "First, I shall read her countenance; It must be frank and open. Then I will survey her dress. I want a shapely form, but I do not want a woman who use3 a block and tackle to draw her laces tight: nor do I want a Mother Hubbard fiend. But it is by her feet I shall know her. She must be the wearer or a neat shoe, and the shoe must fit the foot. Now come on or we shall be too lata to hear that toast of Beazley's." So savin?;. Tom Stanton put out the lights in his finely furnished bachelor apartment, and the two men started off at a fas. walk for the Osceola Club rooms. A few evenings later Harry Hall called on his friend and found his apartments unoccupied. So, lighting a cigar, he picked up a magazine, resolved to await his return. Suddenly the door was thrown open, and Tom rushed in. He did not notice Harry, comfortably ensconced among his cushions, but hastening to the centre of the room, turned the lights higher. Then he stepped to a table, and upon its polished marble top carefully deposited something. This something looked to the unseen friend to be a bit of plaster or clay. Pulling a chair close to the stand. Stanton commenced to study it intently. Harry thought it about time to make his presence known, and asked? "What is it. Tom? Discovered some earth with a yield of gold, or other precious metal?" Stanton looked up with a guilty start. "Hum! You here, Hal? Why didn't you speak before? No, I have not discovered gold, but something vast- ] ly more important to me." "May I see it?" "If you are not too !azy to walk over here." For full a minute Harry stood gaz ing ai me irregular Dit or something that Tom had deposited upon the marble. Well," he said, finally breaking the silence, "what ia it?" '"What does It look like?" "A bit of blue clay. Rattened out by I, the foot of a man or a woman." | "You are right; it is a bit of clay. I found It in front of the new block." "And what do you see in it to interest you?" "Only the print of a shoe worn by a woman, but I will attempt to make you comprehend what I read in that print. See that graceful curve? Well that ia an Indication that the wearer possessed style clear to the soles of her feet. Now notice the shape of the sole?a common sense sole, nothing small and pinched about It.

X "Find the lady, and, if she is what * co I honestly believe she will prove to be, and if her face is at all pretty, t. .. nd woo her. Harry laughed and resumed his seat among his cushions, leaving r> Stanton to continue to study the bit of blue clay. Plainly imprinted on pn that portion which marked the neat bridge of the sole were the letters "X E W." These were all he could make out. The balance of the word, whatever it might have been, was 11legible, and after thirty minutes of m, fruitless study, he laid the clay aside with a sigh of regret. w. Two days after. Tom wa? strolling ^ along the business street of his na- . V tive city when a sign in a shop win-I j uo aow caught his eve. That lirst letter tj1; of the sign?where had he seen it before? Good! He remembered it; it was the same as the one on the precious bit of clay. There were the other two letters "E W." but others fol- jr( lowed?E S T. and the sign in the window told him that the dealer Ra within was the local agent for a shoe lej called the "Newest." Tom's next move was to holt into ho the store, and demand of the first Sh clerk he saw to show him the "New- yo est" shoe at once. sw * But." said the astonished clerk. sei "it is for women." bii ' Don't you suppose I know that foi much? Show them to me, and if they th< suit me I will purchase a pair," re- sh plied the bachelor. \V Like a sensible tradesman the clerk concluded that his prospective ha customer was making a purchase for i mother, sister or wife, and immedi- | eh ately took from the shelf a number i To of boxes of the shoe in question. A in glance at the sole of the first pair we convinced Tom that he was on the pu right track; but so accurately did he ad carry the outlines in the clay in his ha mind's eyes, that he knew the shoe in he held in his hand did not match the imprint in his possession. thi "Have you no other styles of this pli shoe?" he asked the clerk. Th "Certainly. There are a number of sic different styles." The fourth pair of shoes he looked bo at were those he was after. While the ^bt clerk was engaged in doing up his package, Tom inquired of him how long the shoe had been on the market. ch "We have had our stock of them Dut rour davs. I have sold a dozen wa pairB myself?the first pair on the day before yesterday." otl "The very day I found the clay," thought Tom. "I'll wager anything se< it was the shoe of this first customer that made my imprint. My task cit grows easier. Now to find out all I can about the purchaser." He con- th< tinued aloud. "And so the lady was quick to recognize the merits of the ha new footwear?" int "Indeed she was; and such a styl- ba ish young lady, too." "Who was she?

"Not at all. my friend. But I am the track of the future Mrs romas Stanton. Listen, and I'll tell u all about it." "All right?I'm all attention." "So you see." Tom said in conclu>n. "the case has narrowed down this: I have but to find the puraser of that first pair of shoes to complish the first half of my task; e future bride will have been disvered. The second half of the task 11 be to win her. and I am self-con lent enough to believe I can do it.' "Ha! ha! ha! Ho! ho! ho!" Har broke out into hearty laughter. "Well, what is so funny?" "Beg your pardon. Tom. but if is ough to make any one laugh! Ha! ! ha! Just to think if it should rn out to be the case!" "If what should be the case?" "Suppose after all your trouble, the ?arer of the shoe proves to be a arried woman?" Stanton started back in his chair th an ill suppressed groan. Whj d that thought never occurred tc m?

"If you desire it," was Stanton's lf-hearted reply. The following afternoon, while the urns were strolling along the street mi found himself looking at a sign the window of a shoe merchant. It is the one that had caused him tc rchase the pair of shoes which still orned his mantel. The man who d sold them to him was standing the doorway. The reflection of a lady passing on e opposite side of the street was iinl.v visible on the polished glass, le clerk took a quick step to Tom's le. "Are you not the gentleman who ught from me the newest in shoes s other day?" he asked. "I am." "If 1 remember rightly, you seemed be much interested iu the puraser of the first pair." "Yes, yes!

The hedgehog. that butt of juvenile rustic horseplay, is the possessor of tastes which, like Sam Weller's knowledge of London, are "extensive and peculiar " Scorning fastidiousness. it can make a hearty meal of nearly any insect, and is one of the few vertebrates which ran tackle the repulsive cockroach. For effectual extermination of beetles and crickets tt is as sttseful as a mongoose among the rats, but it is not generally known that it has a partiality toward | snakes and adders. The methods it employs for the attack are interesting. Having come upon th?* adder it goads the reptile to the offensive and at the first dart immediately rolls into a ball. The adder is then left to attack the spines, in which encounter it naturally comes off second best. After a while, when the hedge; hog feels that his antagonist has exhausted his power, it once more opens out and takes n ltir at the adder's back, thereby breaking its spine. It then proceeds to crush the whole of the reptile's body by means of its powerful jaws, and after that it is said tt? start at the tail and devour its prey. Of eggs, the hedgehog is also very fond, thereby giving just cause to keepers and farnvrs to destroy it on sight. Cases have been known whore hedgehogs actually forced the hen pheasant off her nest and then procord"d to demolish the contents. There is a tradition among country people to the efTcct that the hedgehog will suck milk from cows, which certainly show strong aversion to the hedgehog, let* eminent naturalists scout the idea: their explanation being that it is the heat of the cow which attract* the hedgehog, the cow's dislike lieitrr no doubt caused by unpleasant contact v.ith the prickly spines. Hedgehogs are invulnerable to most of their enemies except man. although the wily f x has hepn known to get the hotter of them oc? casionally.?Scotsman. MUSEUM OF ART Many little children either have visited, or soon will visit, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. i:i New York City. Here are some interesting facts about the museum as given in tlie Tourist Magazine The museum. i:i Centra! Park, opposite East Eighty-second strePt. occupies a plot of ground .at one time called Deer Park. It was started in Oriober. isr.0. l?v the A:' Committee of the TTnion League Incorporated in 1^71. the Park Department offered to furnish a building if It were transferred front its first home, the Douglas Mansion, in West Fourteenth street. In IS so the first section was completed At the same time an agreement was made to allow the public to visit the museum without cost four days a week. The public in 1 S30 sent in so many petitions for free admission on Sundays that this was granted the same year, though it meant a great monetary loss. It Is said that the value of its exhibits cannot he computed, though some of the statisticians have spt the total at half a billion dollars. J. P. Morgan is the president. More than goo.ooo persons visited the museum in 1307. This attendance was exceeded hut once, in 130:>, when the new wing was completed, the total being hut 2000 more. The city appropriates SI 00.000 a year for the museum, and even that sum would he inadequate were it not for the help of its many rich natrons. The most costly painting is Meissonier's "Friedland." purchased for $05,000. An alabaster statue of Tele, wife of a Pharaoh of Egypt, dating back to 1800 B C.. is said to be the oldest piece of sculpture. The jade collection of the late Heher R. Bishop is the rarest of its kind in the world. Many of the pieces are without a duplicate. The lloentschel collection of Gothic art. recently purchased by Mr. Morgan for $ 1.000.000, is one of the most interesting exhib' s, occupying the whole of a section, built for that purpose. A permanent expedition Is main* mined in Egypt, and this srnds every year some beautiful, interesting and valuable specimens of ancient art. M A fund has been set aside to purchase the best works of modern American painters and sculptors. The musical exhibit contains instruments of all kinds, from ancient times to date, while the crystal ex- , hibit is unique. The library, for which Heber R. Bishop subscribed the first $5000. about twenty-eight years ago. contains a large number of extremetr rare old works and costly examples of modern printing and engraving. jj Only recently a collection of rare laces was discovered hidden away in a store room, and It is said that many other priceless collections have never JKI been placed on echibltlon, owing to in lack of space.?Newark Call.
