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-

“The prison of isolation. And for

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. The moonlight on tho
struck his ears, lie ' trail of smoke made it look like tho
had still a moment of hesitation; then
the cold of this December night decid
ed him. 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

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 [

| 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,

Caiisht Iu Hi* Own Trap.
It is always pleasant to read of in
stances in which would bo practical
jokers have had a chance to sample their
own wares. In “Life In California,”
Alfred Robinson tolls of a Seuor Lugo,
who often amused the travelers by T his
stories and eccentricities, and one even
ing attempted a practical joke, with the
following result:
Ho had loaded a paper cigar with
gunpowder and placed it among his
cigarros. 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. Having lighted
it, ho returned to bed.
The cigar was about half consumed
and ho more than half asleep when a
sudden explosion carried away the bet
ter part of his mustache, and so thor-
oughly frightened his poor wife that I
venture to say the event will never bo
forgotten.

A Met hod Doctor.
“The most methodical man in New
Orleans is a physician of my acquaint
ance." said a druggist. “In one corner
of liis bedroom are three valises stuud-
iugin a row. 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. He says that his system 1ms saved
nn enormous amount of valuable time
and several more or less valuable
lives.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat.

“Never tell your dreams,” he said.
“They interest nobody hut yourself,

“Yes,” replied one of the listeners,

A Itbodex’ Anecdote.
Here is a new anecdote about Cecil
Rhodes: In 18S4 he was seveiely at
tacked in the press, and notably by cue
journalist to whom he had given very
considerable assistance.
“I do call that man a hound,” said
ono of Mr. Rhodes’ friends, “after all
you have douo fur him. ’*
Mr. Rhodes flushed up, and with one
of his sudden though rare explosions
burst out with, “Hound yourself! Do
you think I wanted to bribe tbo man?”
