The ronae- qnence was we did what wa* right in our own eyes in wicked and selfish c« >nple*. such a* a disintegratetl honse- hol 1 will relapse into when the ^ireiiiding and i«mdential hand ia withdrawn. Of these cmiplea the most devoted and per- haj* the most interesting was the Hi*n. Miss Frances and Philip Drummond. "Drummond was n brawny muscular hem, a fine fellow, nnhamiiered by ex cessive brain, a keen sitortsman and a g«ssi friend. She was—well, I dare say yon discovered at Monaco. Only yon must remember that at the time of which I am speaking she had not devel oped th(*sc predatory instincts which 1 am told she afterward acquired so per- niciqnsly for her friend*. She seeme<l a soft, lovable woman, with Inatrous eja** and r]ieaking hand*. A* a matter of fact, her hand* spoke more than her tongue—it is the way with some incura ble histrionic women. "One day I wjia not ont with the rest of the ahooting party, owing to a pro** of business letters or a fit of laziness—I forget which. But I pottered out in the afternoon over the tumii* a short way from the house. I was at the hall iloqr on my return when two men brought home a ghastly burden. It was poor Philip Drummond, who had shot him self, no one knew exactly how, in get ting over a hedge or in making his way through some tangled covets. I helped the men to bring his poor rigid limbs into the house, wondering to myself how I could best break the news to the un : discoverable Mrs. Tfoftnan, or, harder still, to the reserved and somewhat haughty Miss Dalrymple. We had not grot far into the house when she met us, at the head of the stairs. There wtis no explosion of grief such as I feared; only a sudden tightening of the comers of the mouth and a blanched look either of superstitious dread or hardly realized sorrow. She looked for an instant on the corpse, asked the single question, ‘He shot himself, of course?* and then swiftly withdrew. ” "That evening as I was going to bed 1 met her again in the corridor. ‘I was waiting for you,’ she said, and then she began to beg me, by all that I held most precious, to let her see -the dead body. The request struck me ns unnatural, I remember, and somewhat heartless. Al though I could not have formulated my objections in words I felt that she was asking what jarred on my own feelings and did not suit the circumstances of the case../ At the same time I knew that the relations in which they stood to each other prevented me from refusing. ‘I loved him io,’ she said with an air of passionate abandon, ‘and I must see him for the last time. Yon can come, too, if yon like.’ T led her to the threshold of the death chamber, threw open the door for her, but did not enter. ‘You will leave the door open, pie—e,’ wa* all that she spoke. "Impelled by an irresistible curiosity I stood at the doorway and watched her. The room was only illuminated by a candle which aha carried in her hand. Dark shadows sommndad the bed on which wh* stretched the sh—form of f the man whuen 1 had h%own as PhiUp j Drummond. The rigid outlines of his body stood out Ixmeath tho merciful wltite covering which the hands of lov- ing care had placed over his death dis torted features. All the rest of the rooifi' was black with the darkness of night; 1 only the ghastly light of the single can dle, shaded by her hand, bathed in the flickering white gleams the liody of the man who had gained eternal sleep, I , saw her kneel by the Itedsidej I saw Ijer lift the linen from his face with delilx’f- nte hand. Then, after gazing long and earnestly at the fact? of her lover, she drew a penknife from her pocket and with a quick movement punctured the vein at the side of his temple. "*Peste,’ she said; 'I forgot that dead men do not bleed.’ Then changing her resolve she cut a lock of brown hair from his fore head and swiftly passed me tm I stood at the door. ‘(KhhI night,’she whisjiered, as the faint echoes of her footsteps rang down the corridor. "The whole party broke np the next day, and we one and all departed to dif ferent jioints of the com]siss. I do not «upi>yse that any one but myself knew of the scene I have tried to descrilio; but on me it left an ineffaceable impression. It was, iierhap*. natural that she should wish to see him, but her strange action and her abrupt, swift movements utterly dissipated the idea of a touching fare well. Did she really love him or not? Was the situation, of which I was an unwilling witness, the last act in a heart's tragedy? Perhaps yon can tell | mar ; • "'Well. I can give you inf experience, and then yon can judge for yourself. As I told yon, I met her under an another name at Monaco. You rrmmnber that a merciful dispensation of providence secured me in the nick of time the accu mulated life treasure of an affectionate aunt I wa* abroad at the time when I heard the news of my good fortune, and as 1 owed neither regret jwir, perhapa, i even respect to my defunct relative, I was not deterred by any feelings of com- 1 jmncti.m from enjoying myself. At Monaco I met the Lady \ inlet Montargis —a real celebrity, a* I Warned, who was not unknown at Paris or Vienna or even ! Buda-Pe*th. "There had been an unusual run on the hank, and every one waa watching her game and staking on her lock. The first time I saw her she waa only just be ginning her career of Iriamiti. I fol lowed her. more oat ot gallantry than oat of any determined gambler’s resolve. Afterward 1 had sufficient instinct in these matter* to know that I was In the presence of one of tho— who, fur the moment, cannot even by accident go wrong. It was really wonderful to see her at the tables; a few strangers and newcomers, who did not know how the cards lay, played their usual caution 1 game and lost; the <4der hands kept aloof, as they always do, when aotne diabolic influence ia in the air. After a few days a friend Introduced me to her. and I got to know her pretty well. Any where el—, except at the tabfce. she was |s«itively charming, insouciante, debon- nair, full of {mlished allurement* and iruddious beauty. Immersed in the game, ! she was a devil; no other word could de scribe bur. "One night there waa a strange invgy- don of things—a positive debacle. Lady Violet Montargis was haring heavily and 1—ding her follower* to incurable ruin. She came hurriedly to me, and in a low, 1 whisper spoke the— remarkable words: " ‘For the lore of heaven go to my rooms aud ask my maid for ray ring; the i will know which one I mean; you see I : have not my nsnal rings on my fingers.* "She spoke nervously and rftpidly.with j a fare ont of which had departed all the tiimnphant calm, giving place to a low I contracts! look of inscrutable cunning. ! 1 performed her commission for her, and then ventured to ask her the reason. 1 knew that all gamblers are superstitious, bnt was hardly prepared for her reply. " ‘Sung de Dien,’ she said, ‘could yon not guess that the ring contained a sui cide’s hair?* "—John M. Marqu&ud in At lanta Constitution. Tils tJ— of Flowers* Flowers are used ranch more sensibly than they used to be. The absurd fash ion of loading n young woman down with a dozen or more huge bouquets, every one measuring from fifteen to twerfty inches ocrons. is no longer in vogue. The atrocious custom died of its own inappropriateness. It is possible even with the roost deli cate blossoms, which are the essence of grace and refinement, to be positively vulgar. The large corsage bouquets/ which were so popi at for two or three years seem to have vanished, not to re appear, from the very fact of their over size and overuse. This is true as well of the bnnch of flowers for the street dress as for the ball toilet. Flowers are not so worn because of their wide and exag gerated nse when they got ont of the hands of women of taste and refine ment into those of the sort who bleach their hair and tlanb their facca The fashionables now pt rmit themselves only a bunch of violets in the spring, when a craving for flowers cannot be stifled. Morf coloring is naod in funeral flow ers thAn ever before. Set pieces are no longer used. Loose flowers furnished by members of the family are the only ones considered appropriate. This is a sensi ble departure. Why should the stiff waxen camellias and the tuberose tie al ways nsed? To some sensitive minds the— flowers are so associated with death that, see* at any time, they only recall a scene of mourning. Flowers at a fu- neral are intended to console the living ’ with their loving toneb and gracious softening of the grim outlines.

West Virginia, resides the "coincident Franklins,’’ a family which is, in one resi»ect at least, the most peculiar of any in the whole country. The Franklins are a family of coincidences. The father and mother were married on the 14th of October. ‘They have had nine children, all of wlnftn were born on the 14th of October. Five of the nine are dead, and. strange to say, every single one of them breathed his last on the fateful 14th day of October. The name of the head of the family ia Joshua Franklin.

Those who. after lives of ignoble lal>or or In glorious ease, dio of sickness descend to a cold and dismal eavem beneath tho ground called Niflheira—i. o., tho mist world. Thi* abode is rilled by tho god dess of death, whose name is Hel. The place of torment for reprobates is Nas- trond, deeper underground than Nifi- heim and far toward the frigid north. — This grim prison is described in the following passage from the prose "Edda," written in Iceland in the Thirteenth century: "In Nastrond there is a vast and direful structure with doors that face the north. It is formed entirely of the backs of serpents wattled together like wicker work. But the serpents’ heads are turned toward the inside of the hall and continually vomit forth floods of venom, in which wade all those who commit murder or who forswear themselves.” According to the “Voius- pa," a poem of earlier date, the evil doer* in Nastrond are also gnawed by the dragon Nidhogg. —Popular Science.

From the image thus obtained enlarge ments have’ been made, showing the moon over three feet in diameter and with on immense amount of detail.

Men often cross their leg* at public meetings because they go there to listen or to be entertained. They are not the factors in the performance, and they natnrally place themselves in the most comfortable position known—namely, leaning well back in their chair* and crossing their legs. A man almost in variably crosses his leg* when he reads a newspaper, but is more apt to lie down when be reads a book.“He reads the paper, of course, to inform himself, but at the same time the perusal of its con tents is^recreation to him, and his body again seeks its position of relaxation.

Until recently archsralogista maintained the theory that the refined art of the Greeks had found its expression in the pure form of the marble, disregarding color, and any evidences to the con trary were destroyed, as only giving rise to troublesome theories, subversive of the true worahip of Greek art Within the iMist few yean, however, several in teresting pieces of painted sculpture have been discovered which have given rise to some interesting speculations among students and artista. —Harper's. i officers present was thnl fet (’apt.
