On the night of the Rlst of December my friend Jacobus, after having dined in silence :it* the table d’hote of the Golden Bose, ret ratted with quick steps Grange!tos street, wjiere his bachelor lodgings were. The street was solitary and badly lighted by a faroff gas jot. The nin th wind, blowing directly between the two rows of black facades, cut Jacobus’ visage and. notwithstanding the close ly buttoned overcoat, made our friend find that the blood of 40 years did not possess the warmth of prime youth. Therefore did no agitate with an im patient hand the hammer which deco rated the landlady’s door. It was the daughter of the house. Mile, rrnnccline Bigeard, who opened to him. holding in one hand the folds of her apron. Idled with chestnuts, and in the other the lamp which lighted up her face and her sparkling blue eyes. Those blue eyes, .the frizzly brown hair au<l the bright smile of Mile. I’ranceline still gave an attractive pi quancy to her face, although she was commencing to fade, having attained her twenty-eighth year on St. Cather ine's day. “I beg your pardon for having made you wait,” said she to the shivering lodger, “but 1 was in the act of split ting chestnuts. We have kept two of my friends to supper, and tonight we will end the year by roasting the chest nuts and washing them down with a glass of Figuolette. At your service, M. Jacobus.” ’’Thanks,” answers he, appearing in a hurry. “Thanks, mademoiselle.” • If In 1 refused, it was not that Franee- line’s company was displeasing to him, on the cont.’ary. But he kept himself in reserve, fearing to place himself un der obligation to this girl who wanted to marry and not wishing that too much familiarity should make him slip, little hy little, on dangerous ground. lie was not Insensible to the blue eyes and to the smile of the young lady, hut he was afraid of marriage, lie resembled those children who are about to take a cold hath, who dip one foot in the water, then take it out again and cannot decide to take a tinal plunge. “Thanks!” said he again on going up the stairs. “No letters have come for me?” "No, M. Jacobus, the mail carrier has brought nothing.” “Well, decidedly I’m forgotten!” sad ly thought Jacobus as he put the key in the keyhole. “The entire world has forgotten the way to my house.” Jacobus felt himself become, little hy little, In a fit of had temper. This night everything had gone wrong. The logs on the lire smoked instead of flaming; his lamp dickered without giving light; a drafty wind passed under the door and froze him to the marrow. “A thinker—Joubert, I believe,” mur mured lie as he lighted his pipe—“has said that ‘the evening of life brings its lamp with It.’ Mine lights very badly, and my crepusdo is deueedly gloomy. •‘This weakening of the interior light is one of the fatal consequences of celi bacy. Maturity and celibacy! Two un healthy mediums which germinate and start it lot of had seed that one thought dead and that bring forth ugly dowers with a hitter scent—lardy remorse, sterile regrets, hesitations and fear of old iige. "Fear especially, a cowardly fear which keeps one from acting, which turns one from generous resolutions, from all fructuous (hiring. 1 remem ber in the time of my youth, at a mo ment when 1 was .about to climb an ab rupt cliff of the Ryrenees, I met a man ripe in years and already bent down, and as 1 interrogated him as to tlie road to follow he cried out to me: “’Do not climb up there. The road is a veritable foundry. You will get out of breath all to no avail!’ "I shrugged my shoulders and kept on my way, laughing at the pusillanim ity of that middle age, and this is what 1 have come to! The least pebble dis turbs me, the most childish difficulty takes the proportions of an impossibil ity. I know no more how to dare or to will, and I retire to my bachelor cell re gretting the chances that 1 let slip at the time my twentieth year flourished in all its freshness.” At that moment the o^Jat of young voices came from below, and in this gay noise Jacobus could distinguish Franceliue’s clear laugh. “They are amusing themselves down stairs!” thought he again, with a sigh. “They are drinking to the year that is passing and to the one that will be horn. “For them a year that passes away ; and one that begins do not waken mel ancholy thoughts. They are not yet at the age when the weeks and the months seem to go hy with the rapidity of a swallow on the wing. They will come to it nevertheless, and to France- line as well as to the others!

Thus charming girls fade away, and that is what will hap pen lo Fram eline unless a brave fellow makes his appearance who is loving enough mid courageous enough to phenomena. A chill which ran along his hack brought him hack to reality. [ He perceived that his fire was consum ed without throwing out any heat, that liis pipe hud become cold and that his window was badly closed. Just as he was about rising to shut it hermetical ly new joyous rumors came from tlie first floor, and new silvery laughter from Francelino some suburban railway station, and tho eight of a train rushing along a curved cutting was one not to ho forgotten. It was liku a comet with a fiery gold head and a silver tail.

He blew out Ids lamp and de scended, feeling his way down the staircase, and, guided hy the laughter, he knocked timidly at the landlady’s door. The door opened wide, and hy the bright light he saw around the fire place a circle of young people busy peeling chestnuts. “My faith!” said Jacobus. "I heard your laughter up stairs, and it made my mouth water. Will you make room for me at your side. Mile. Franceline?” And then, in sending a tender look toward Franceline, he saw all of a sud den that that place was taken. A young man of about 150 years, a for ester, was seated on the same bench with the young girl and was very dose. While her friend opened his grout bulging eyes the landlady said to him, advancing a chair: “Come near me, M. Jacobus; I’m going to give you some news. We are killing two birds with one stone. We are feasting the St. Kylvestre, and we are toasting the be trothal of our Franceline with M. le Garde General Saudax. Take. then, a glass and drink with us.

No sooner has the “ticker” reported the Campania or other big liner “ofT Fire island” than a veteran of the transportation department, accom panied hy a few clerks ami porters, hastens to the foot of Cortlaudt street and hoards the Postmaster General, the flagship of the postoffice fleet.

The engine was u glow of fiery red. You saw no train. At 9:53 tho smell of gas told us we were rising, and we commenced tho work of testing echoes. I may here re mark that there are two grave objec tions to balloon traveling—tho one is that you cannot smoko and tho other that you perpetually smell gas. “In testing acoustically, I am afraid wo did not sncceed in gaining any rrrr echo, though one at 1,000 feet—we went up iu all to nearly 3,000 feet— was suspected. Echoes distinct we had in plenty, hut they undoubtedly came from tho balloon above ns, and none— except perhaps tlie ono dubious one I have referred to—from the empyrean. Echoes from the earth showed tho air to he very variable in its carrying pow er. For a long distance, traveling at a height of 1,000 feet, the air remained i singularly opaque acoustically, and not j a trace of echoes could ho caught, but I later, at 3,400 feet, they became and [ ! remained very loud. Again, 25 minutes j | later and 300 feet lower, they had he- j j come distinctly feeble. Tho resonator, which Mr. Bacon, a member of tho par ty, constantly used, showed tho same striking acoustic variation. “Mr. Bacon had with him an exqui sitely sensitive air thermometer, which showed remarkably the variations in temperature during the steady ascent of tlie balloon. The temperature rose rap idly up to about 500 feet, at which ele vation we encountered a colder sti'atiuu. Soaring through this, wo rose another 100 fe< t, again into warmer air; then through a si cond and a third shallow cold stratum, hot at 1,000 feet we had entered an equable region, for an ascent of 1,000 feet or 1,700 feet higher gave us no praetical change in tlm conditions, and, as acoustic experiments wero to lie a principal part of the night's work, wu kept below an altitude of 3,000 fet t At the higher altitudes there was no water vapor noticeable in the spectrum. “The brilliancy of tho moon was very markedly increased as wo Hew bight r, and lunar details easily seen with lit Id- glasses from earth became difficult tc gaze at.

One of the tents established for the occasion held ten thousand. On the lirst day of the opening the following message was received from President McKinley addressed to President F. K.

During his visit with mo ho repeatedly asked me to smoke, but I fortunately missed the cigar he had pre pared, until finally, from tho lateness of the hour, ho withdrew. In tho course of the night ho awoke, and feeling a desire to smoke selected from his bundle, quite forgetful of tho owning’s amusement, tho very cigar ho hud prepared for me.

Above them on a rack are a traveling cap. an umbrella, and a shoulder strap holding a mosquito net ting and a mackintosh. The doctor lias a large country practice, and he keeps this equipment iu readiness for sudden out of town calls. “One side of each valise contains a set of tools, and so on for a special class of surgical cases, all different, but the other sides are exactly alike. Their contents consist of a change of linen, a copy of ‘Robinson Crusoe,' a bottle of Worcestershire sauce, a pipe and tobacco and a box of dominos. Thus fortified, tlie doctor says he can stand a siege of two days on any plan tation in the entire south. “When he gets a hurry up call he simply picks up the satchel that con tains the right instruments and walks off.
