! THE GONDOLIER.
' Zcfiriiio wad not tho largest gomloliei
in Venice, nor the handsomest; noithei
was ho ever guilty of winning a prize
in tho snndolo races, but ho was not a
bit surprised when tho very blond si-
guoriuu from America picked him out
from the crowd of gondoliers who were
bumping their boats against each other,
calling ono another pigs and such like
fanciful names under their breaths, and
shouting to the young lady who stood,
half amazed, half disgusted, on tho ho
tel steps.
Zeilrino was neat as a pin, young and
good looking. Ho neither scowled at his
fellows nor pushed his boat far into the
crowd. Rather did he stand proudly on
the high stern with the air of a man of
genllc blood whom fate had reduced to
a meager, but not dishonorable, trade.
Yet that was not the reason of his calm
ness and tho quiet certainty that she
would select him to bo her gondolier
during her stay in Venice.
This calm certainty was begotten of a
dream into which lie had not ventured
far in respect to its interpretation,* but
tho little ho had seen was marvelous.
Tha dream bad been long, but certain
things stood out in his memory. At first
ho thought that he. tho most temperate
of men, was drinking a very sweet liquid
from a cup of gold, and became intoxi
cated thereby; that meant some great
person would love and enrich him. Then
a face nunoared-.^Vv hrmi^iL ^
with blomljrff abotlt in a
most eup£ ing v;ay>tf, a t , ue ant joy and
S U vairwalkiug along
_ n *J^‘ad with tho owner of that face
woman—and he had a sword
fn his hand; that was a sign of success.
Therefore, Zofirino was not at all sur
prised when his white lady came trip
ping down the steps quite unattended
and entered the gondola as coolly ns she
might a cab. In tho first place foreigners
buvo a way of doing just what they
please, taking no account whatever of
fho social rules of tho Venetian upper
class; second, Zefirino had heard Vene
tian ladies diocuss American girls a hun
dred limes. Ho learned that they had a
fragile beauty which disappeared early;
ivero very bold and impudent, stared at
men as you might at a dog, but could
defend themselves; finally, they and
their race were barbarians, and that was
all about it.
Zefirino was a fine sight as with nerv
ous strokes, unheeding tho sarcasms
showered about him in tho Venetian dia
lect by his two less fortunate comrades,
he swept tbo gondola away from the ho
tel steps, and, putting his best work on
tho forcola, where the sweep swung
Hghtly but firmly, shot up tho Grand
canal. He knew that this was the first
time tho fair stranger had cvea^njoyed
the exquisite quiet and steady onward
rush of a Venetian boat, for he was only
too well awaro that she had come late
the night before on ono of the steam
launches from tho station.
Not a word had the rose leaf blond ut
tered so far. Sho seemed to be stupefied
hy tlw beauty of Venice—or bored be
yond making a motion—and when the
dark arch of the Rialto was passed and
tho lovely palaces on the upper stretch
brought no sign from her mute face,
Zefirino was a littlo angry, fie popped
rowing, leaned forward, and inquired-
‘‘Command?" - .
* No; that did not work, either. The
head in u perfect bonnet bent gracious
ly, r.ud one gloved band was raided with
as much ease as Queen Margherita her
self might have displayed. Zefirino
seized his oars and set to wondering how
^he could mako her say even a wordl
perhaps sho knew as little Italian as ho
English. What was his surprise,
#heu, to hear her call out to stop as they
reared a broad boat full of vegetables
And fruit whichovas being slowly poled
along, and in very slowly spoken but
not impossible Italian negotiate for
some oranges and pomegranates. It was
out of all order so to do. Bread and wa-.
,ter for a week would have been the por
tion of a signoriua of one of the real old
families who dared to do such a thing.
And then tbo sweet lips uttered ‘‘Zeflri-
uo, ” and the little hand held out of the
folso window a couple of crauges to the
gondolier!
i He ran forward a few steps and ku p’
on one knee to receive them, mattering
to himself blessings by all tbo saints,
.but was too agitated to say much. Such
a glance as she gave him—such a mis
chievous, bewildering glance 1 As if she
itaw right through his body and knew
that, Ids heart thumping; The rest
‘of the giro, through canals great and
small, back to tho hotel was as much a
dream as that on which his hopes were
built. Ho hardly cumo to himself until
he was lying cn his buck on tho quay,
.trying to think it all over.
I The uigucriua, bless her little gra
cious head, with thu prettiest bad ac-
.ceut in the - world, had ordered Zefirino
to wait her pleasure lhaVevening just
.before moonrise. so that she might be
taken on to thu lagoon opposift*"'
JPm/./a, now ban Giorgio, and see
donblo effect of the light on the square
and the moon on the wave. True to the
instant, ns the boat touched the steps
tho white lady appeared. Would she
have gone had she known what madness
was boiling in tho young gondolier? As
tho first hint of the moon tipped the
horizon her voico came quietly, but not
to bo gainsaid,‘‘Sing, Zefirino!” The
poor boy was n very nightingale that
night, with his breast against the thorn
of lovt. Ah ho continued it seemed as
absurd and hopeless as possible that he
should i ver win the woman before him.
Therefore it was that bis melancholy
became wonderfully mingled with tri
umph, and that when he could sing no
more, tho lady was interested enough in
the singer to ask him something about
himself.
bhe did not understand all ho said,
but the dream, tbo way she mixed up in
it, struck her fancy immensely, and
perhaps alarmed her a little to boot.
Feeling thus, sho wrote down, with
out thinking, lumbers on the edge of tho
boat and gazed at them in tho brilliant
moonlight. Strange! She was just 1,8,
and two of the other numbers wore just
tho ages of the two persons who stood
nearest to her in life! It was a shock.
Perhaps there was something in it
‘‘Zefirino, buy and 18 and 88.”
• #•••*
Tho white lady was roused from the
delicious reverie in which moonlight in
Venice steeps one. Boats came down
the canal in a knot, from which rose
tbo twanging of guitars and formed a
background for two cries. One was
‘‘Zefirino,” tho other “La donna
biauca. ” That was what Zefirino had
called her, and sho had been amused
thereat. But the boats stopped at tho
hotel, and beforo tho.porters could hold
them in a parley, the revelers had pick
ed Zefirino up and carried him bodily
on to the terrace to render thanks to tho
white lady, who had counseled him so
well. For poor Zefirino, when tho strain
gave way, must needs blab of her to
whom ho firmly believed his fortune
was duo. Ah the excited mou rushed up
a tall figure rose in a leisurely way from
a chair, and taking tho white lady’s
arm in his faced tho group with no very
amiable countenance.
“Who aro those insolent beggars, my
dear?”
“Hnsb,” said the white lady, putting
her hand over his month. “This is my
gondolier, Zefirino, whom I ndvieei
buy a certain number in
he has won, I see.
y ° way they spend their
ffmey!”
“Oh, dear, you old goose, will yon
never stop being so practical? They aro
like children, don’t you see?”
Zefirino was white end trembling, but
be plucked up courage to thank his saint,
his liberator, his patronMS, hi# goddess,
for having brought him luck end jnado
him a rich man. Then he stopped and
said tupidly:
“And to your zio, illustrious white
lady, I”—
The white lady burst out laughing
and said in a low tone:
“George, do you hear? Ho takes you
for my uncle.”
“Humph 1 I see nothing childlike in
that I”
“Zefirino, this gentleman is my hus
band, and his ago is one of the numbers
I cbo.:e frem the five yon selected. ”
“Marito!” cried Zefirino, with a
quaver that let all tho persons present
into a secret ho would have done better
to bury deep in his breast. One or two
began to feel the awkwardness of the
whole proceeding, and by a happy di
version caused the whole party to retreat
under a volley of thanks and compli
ments. On the hotel steps Zefirino was
liko a dazed man,
“After all, ’ ’ ho muttered, “ho is not so
young—he.may die. ”—Gentlewoman,
A Story of Charles O'Conor.
At tho closing of the St. Nicholas ho-
tol in 1884, in answer to a question by
the writer how ho succeeded in saving
tbo life of Colonel Loriug in the mem
orable triuf for murder committed at
that hotel, Charles O’Conor gave tho
following account:
After the trial had proceeded for some
time tho court was informed by the jury
that one of their number was a relative
of the prisoner. The court adjourned
trial for consultation on a questioq so
serious. Mr. O’Conor, as prisoner’s ooun-
* sel, consented to the withdrawal of the
juror and Btipulatedlo proceed with 11
jurors. Tjbp point was doubted, hut on
consent of the ifl&fict attorney tho trial
proceeded with 11 jurors, bo only wit
ness to the killing was the \>potblac£,
who testified that cn some disturbance
being m^do by Graham in throwing out
his boots ttyi prisoner angrily came
from bis room .and, altercation ensu
ing, with bia.flwoxd cane stabbed Graham
and worked about jUv? weapon when it
his body, and wituesn shortly infoirine$
prisoner that Graham was dead.
“What did be say when you told bin*
this?”
Answer—No.
O’Conor—Is that the answer of one
who intended to kill? Is it not the an
swer you would make if informed a
friend you had just seen was dead?
Seeing the jury somewhat impressed
by this view and the change appearing
in their faces, he so pressed the point
that they found a verdict of manslaugh
ter. Tho court imjpoaed the heaviest pen

Most of tbo World's Supply Manufactured
In Secret In a Michtcan Town.
The world’s supply of sticky fly paper
comes from Grand Rapids, Mich. There
are three or four other small factories
scattered about tho country, but none of
them makes enough to cat much of a
figure in the market. The groat producer
is tho single factory in this city, a big
concern employing 400 to 000 hands all
the year round, and its product is ship
ped to every land.
Tho factory is surrounded by a high
board picket fence,* and guards are on
watch day and night to kocp out intrn-
der.i. The best friends of tho proprietors
meet with as cold a receutiou when the
matter of going into tho^ictory is men
tioned as any stranger. Tbo sticky prep
aration with which it is expected tho
flies will form entangling alliances is
prepared by tho proprietors personally,
and they alone know tho exact formula.
The preparation is not patented or
copyrighted, as to gain the protection of
tho government it would bo necessary to
reveal the materials that go into it and
thus make the formula known to the
world and give trade pirates a chance to
operate. Tho secret is protected by not
letting it out, aud it has been kept suc
cessfully for nearly 20 years. Tho ma
chinery used in the factory is guarded
in tho same manner against infringe
ment instead of being patented. Most of
the machinery was designed for the spe
cial purpose to which it is put, and tho
four brothers engaged in tho business
made tho designs for it themsolvos aud
had different parts of it constructed at
different machine shops. The fly paper
factory occupies four largo two story
brick buildings, aud tho employees in
one department aro not allowed under
any circumstances to visit any other de
partment. Nono but trustworthy men
is employed, and, onco engaged, they
have substantially a life job. But oven
tho most trusted is not allowed to know
more than ono branch of the business.
Tbo fly paper is made by spreading
certain balsams and gums on a sheet of
sized mnnilla paper. Tho sheet has a
narrow border of wax to prevent the
sticky stuff from oozing out. Tbo border
of wax is put on, the stiqky preparation
is spread, and tho sheet is folded ready
for inspection and shipni^"^" e m .“
chine, and thiso,... n capacity
J^ii>tfr507000 sheets a daj*. From tbo
machine tho sheets pass to inspectors,
who see that tho stuff is of tho right
consistency, and then to tho packers, to
be pat into hose# for shipment. Tho pa
per goes to Africa, Asia, Europe, Aus
tralia and Sooth America, besides all
parrs of this country.
The manufacturers of tbo sticky paper
began business about 20 years ngo on a
small scale, occupying a lean to in con
nection with a suburban drug store
which the brothers had established as a
branch of their city business. Quo of
the brothers carried on the fly paper
manufacturing us a Hide jssne, and at
first only enough was manufactured to
supply a limited local demand. The do-
maud gradually grew, and the factory is
now one of tbo big institutions of the
city, and tbo four brothers all devote to
it their entire time.—New York £nn.

Chief Justice Mercer Beasley of Now
Jersey, now an octogenarian, has eat on
tho bench for nearly 40 years. “Despite
this advanced age,” says the Philadel
phia Record, “his intellect is as bright
as ever and his sonse of humor as keen
as it was 50 yoars ago. His associates
on tbo supreme bench tell an anecdote
which occurred during the last term of
court. A certain young lawyer, whose
idea of forensio strength consisted in
tho use of extraordinary law terms,
without regard to fitness, handed the
chief justjeo a copy of bis brief. After
glancing at it tbg judge interrupted the
fledgling by remarking, -‘^ir. Blank,
what particular meaning did yoq jitfacl.
to this sentence when you yrrqtq jt?’
“The young lawyer attempted 1° ex
plain, and was finally forced fq admit
that he had forgotten thu significance of
that particular sentence. Thereupon the
old chief dryly remarked: ‘ You remind
me of a philosopher who, years after
having wri'ieu a certain book, was
asked to oxin a passage. After study
ing awhile he said: “Young man,
when that passage was written, just two
knpw its meaning. Ono was Almighty
God aud the other myself. Now only
ono knows tbo meaning—that one is
Almighty God.”’ ”

A Box Cnr.
It is probable that in spito of fho fact
that one-twentieth of tho population of
this country is dependent to a largo ex
tent upon railways for iho money it has
to spend but very few people know much
about tho cost of railway transportation.
For instance, there aro few business
men who can say wbat tho cost of on or
dinary box car is or how much it costs
its owner a year. Ah a matter cf fact
such a car costs about $500. The wear
aud tear which has to be repaired costs
on an average about $20 a year. Th av
erage life is 13 years, and at (ho ci l of
this timo tho car will bo worth ai out
$80 for scrap, so tho annual cost for re
newal, or Iho annual sinking fund, will
be about $25. Tho railway owning iho
car has to maintain shops to repair its
rolling stock and that of other roads,
aud it is probably about correct to esii-
mate tbo wear and tear of tools while
repairing the car at $4. It has general
ly been the custom to add 10 per cent to
bills for work done for outside parties as
compensation for the use of tools, or n
little more than the estimate of $4 rondo
above. Taxes will add another $4 to tho
annual cost of a car, and interest at. 0
per cent adds $30 more. Hence it will
bo seen than tho annual cost of a box car
to tho owner is about $83. If the car is
assumed to bo iu tho shop 80 days, it
will bo in service 835 days, aud its cost
per day of service is nearly 25 cents. A
flat or gondola car costs about $450 orig
inally, and a similar series of estimates
will show that its annual cost is about
$75, and its daily cost about 22.4 cents
for tho time it is out of tho shops.—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
_ Eastern Africa.
Professor Angelo Heilpriu, tho dis
tinguished physicist, indorses the state
ment made by Dr. Gregory of the Brit
ish museum that thero exists in eastern
Africa, occupying a very considerable
portion of its extent, a narrow and in
places a very deep trough, in which tho
great lakes timl many of their tributaries
aro located, and which, with a more or
less open and depressed lowland, com
municates with tho basin of t^i
and yet further with the_l. n ,i Pea a 7Id

a deep and comparatively narrow valley,
margined by almost vertical sides, aud
occupied either by tho son, by salt steppes
and old lake basins, and\y a series cf
over 20 lakes, of which only one has an
outlet to the sea—a condition of things
absolutely unlike anything on tho sur
face cf tho earth; indeed, tho presence
of such a rift, for this it appears to bo,
can only bo compared with tho long
limar fifts which have so long puzzled
astronomers. To Professor Knees, the
eminent geologist of Vienna, is attrib
uted the first demonstration that over
large areas cf tho party’s surface thp
crust has been steadily braking through
fu tho direction of the earth’s center;
and that tho crust has been torn pm}
rifted throughout ail timo by the sub*
sidences pf earth blocks, and bo, many

SERVANTS’ BALL IN PARIS.

the magnificent jewels that adorned the
