FTNIENS BuRGLAPS T did tob end hip -:i-ot for Harry Seymour, that is to say; but it- pro vided some excellent entertainment while q it lasted and is - talk-d about iN A icketsfield to-day. A We were all of us stayiig in Wickets, field, and Seymour - had fellen a victim to the faecinations of Miss Norah Car donnel, pos,ibly becadse Wicketslield is a dull litt'c watering place and there was nolhiog else to do; possibly be cause he knew, or at least suspected, that she was worshiped by Stephen Lambsworthy, and Stephen L: mbs worthy was his especial bete noir. I do not want to attribute unworthy motives to him as a matter of fact, I liked him very much so let us give him the benelit of the doubt an I say he had grown to adere Miss Cardonnel because Miss Cardonnel was adorable. Anyhow, it was plain that he was hopelessly in love, and though I hal been honored by Lambswortby's con fidences in the matter I persorally did not give much for his chances. No two fellows could possibly have been more unlike than Stephen an-1 Harry- Seymour. Harry, dashing, goodi-humnored, high-spirited and handsomne; Stepihen, meek, nervous and with next to nothing to say for himself. 2That both were very young was their only point of resemblance. I thought I had gauged Miss Cardoa nel's ohanra cter sufficiently to prophesy which of her admirers would be ac cepted, presuming they both pro posed, and I confess I was started when Seymcur display such strong ir ritation at the ne ws that Lambs wor thI was expectcd on the scene. "Confound him !" he said, "what does he want here? Can't he real in town just as well?" (We were sup posed to be cramming for an enmt., the three of us). "What does he want to come bothering here for ?" '"Well, you forget," Isaid, "Latmbs worihy may be said to be the discov erer of Wicketsield. At all events, neither you nor I would ever havt come down here if it had not been that he was always talking about it. We should never even have known the Cardonnels but for him -remember that." Seym our growledl. It was a fact that La:nbsworthy had intr-odu.l us to themn, atu1 Harry never c.arei to b.: remmndeds of it. "I don't want him," he sail, "i don't get; on with him; he is your friend, r.ot mine, and he bores me. He is like a yong la-ly and he weirs spectacles." "Hie wears spectacles because he is short-sighted," I observed; "aumd.a., to being hiie a young laly, that is all rot, Seymour ! Anyhow, if hs i siceh a complete daler, why n.el you -niuil his coining ?" "What dlo you mean?" asked Harry, sharply. "Xou are annoyed at his arrival be cause you are afraid you may find your nose out of joint when niea peai's. I say if he is such a duller why need you be alarmed?" "Oh! poob, pooh, rubbish !" said Seymour. "I1 arraid of Stephen Lambsworthy? TiheV is too rich! that is really innuv !" He male a load noise, which I understood was meaut to represent laughter. "You wont beat that if von talk for a month. Ha, ha, ha! Why, you don't mean to tell me you suppose for a sin;gle in stant that a girl like Miss Cardlonne; would ser iously consider throwin:: her self away on it noodle li :e Inmbs worth li!

Iti nr shrugged hit shoulde's; as biuah ast say he was reilly izdiffer6nt Is to the afr.gements; and 16unged away in the di'rection of the Parade; ;1er-, I havE: no doubt, he expected to meet the Cardonnels; as *As his daily customi . I ai ashmed to say that I neglect ed to engage a shake-down for Lambs. worthy that afternoon, and as he ar rived by an earlier train than the one he bad mentioned on the morrow, it 'devolved upon him to go around and explore for himself after he got in. HoWEver, he was quite cheerf!i when he returned to the cottage to supper; he had had ten at bis f iends; the Caraonnels. in the ineantime, and he told us hd hAd Secured A com lottable little Qoni ih the next streat ld u-. E inquired at what hour we breakfasted and promised us not to be late. He was so very lively and talk ative, for Lambsworthy, that I felt the fair Norah bad been agrei2blt iii their interviEr; Aid I fAhd.yHrry Seymodr had the mathe idea; foi h6 sLowled tarkly itnd failed to chaff the other as brilliantly as was his wont. I do not think that Seymour an] I had turned in more than a quarter of an hour, when there came a vtoleut beating at the street door, nd r ing out from my iindow; I sa%v Iambsworth.v standibe on the te With his portmanteau in han.i aul his hat at the bck of his hea h ~ Wondering what he had come bac' fori Islipped on some things an l ran down and let hira in.

If c-miirmation ha-l been needed, I should have got it, as a bangin:; camne at the street door again, and a shrill voice was heard asking if "Mr. Liubs worthy" lived there. Stephen jnlrAped up anul went out, coming back to say that it was the servant, who luld beeni sent to inquire if he would step aroaul at 11. o'duoa to-morrow, or if he woni 1I~ hacr at the cottage, in case his evidence was wanted. "'I said I would go wi: lemr," he explained. "Ba:t ['h .>no:. see wh.it 'evidence' I can gibe."

If they had found no 'Mr. Lamnbsworth'y' 'liv ing here, there woul.d have been a warr.nt issued for your arrest." "Do von think that is so, ol fel low ?" asked Stephen, appealing to me with big eyes. I a.lmitted that it sounded proba )le. .T, however, added that his re spetability was a very easy rouL er to prove, even if it should stil be doubt e, and, after he had r egained his com posure, we imp)rovised a shakedown for him on the couch, an 1 we all re tired. Hew can I describe the develop ment? Lamnbsworthy went round to the scene of the late commotion at 11 o'clock next morning, as he had prom ised; and, when he came bae-k, he was in the nearest approach of a rage that I had ever seen him in. "Old chap, the wretch does suspect me !" he exclaimed ; "Sey mour was right ! She gave me my deposit b)ack, s na said, if it was all the sa ne to mie, she would rather not let the room. Of course, I said I dii ntot mind; and; as she was rather inclined to be liigh hrnded, I added that, on the whole. I did not know that I shonu1c fancy bringing my luggage there. I saui i it was a 'rather'-dangerous9 proceeding for a lady to go out and leave a house to taka care of itself.' Au. wha ~ t do you think she answered '~ "I cannot guess. L.mbasworthy-." "She said: 'It's a go od deal more daugerons to take a lodger withouta refrene.'I told ber if she -daredlt int at her inferna1 so.spicions toi her neighbors l'd have her up for slander, and so I will ! I never heard o f such a thing !" H ie was in a state of great excite ment all day, recounting the affair over and over agaia to Seyenour ad Miss Cardonnel and myself. .I am bound to say that I got a little tir9l o it, but Seymour roared~ with ina - ter every time, and I caugot a loa in No. Cardonnel's eyes that ar4nred badl for him in onsequence. If no. p6y ese was sym patheti6 the young LaI,dy es NarrT Seymour disappeared daring the afternoon-went for a long tramp he said-and I had the indignant Laiibs*oithy all to myself till he re turned. When he did come back he said he had roticed a card with "Apartments to Let" on it in a window just around the corner, and suggested to Stephen obtaining a room in the house. "This looks & good, substantial kind of domicile." he said i "one notlikely to b2 burglarized!

Wherever the poor fellow went there was a burglarv ; his name would be on the tongues "of all Wicketsiield di reely. There was never anything kLown like it. Whether he slept when we 1eit n1m at last on the couch I do not know, bu-t his face was as white as a sheet in the morning, and when Mr. and Mrs. Gardnne caledwith their dau,.hter they were aghast at his appearance. "It is perfectly extraordinary !" ex claimed Norah, "and as to the pobecr. who enn allow such things"---Words failed her to express her contempt for the stupidity of the police. "I tell yon what," said Mr. Cardon nel, "I shouldI go to the station myself f I were yon- I will go with you. Confound it all, we will go at once. Something must be done, and without delay." I noticel1 that in a moment Sey mour was almoost as pale as Lambs worthy ; I was even prepared to hear him oiler an objection. "I should not do that, sir, if--if I may presumne to advice," he said.- "I should wait a day or two." "And why, sir?" demande i Mr. Cardonnel, peremntorily; "why should we wait an hour?" "Yes," echoed Norah, hauzhtily; "wh y shm~ild we wait five mnirin te=, Mr. Seymour?" "We'w ill go now," cried Stephen; "1 thank you for the sn-egestion. We will go at once, and I will see the in spector myself." Seymour sat playing nervously with an ash-tray on the table. He seemed to be trying to speak, and to have lost his voice. At last he said jerkily, and with an attempt to laugh: "To tell you the truth, everybo-iy, you are spoiling a practical joke of mine. Lambsworthy was so very con cerned at the first burglary that I thought how extremely funny it would be if the same thing occurred in the net house he tried. The landlord is my tobacconist, and-well, there wasn't a burglary last night at all; it was just arranged between us for a lark !--er-that's all." If I live to be a hundred I shall never forget Miss Cardonnel's :ook of ontempt as he finishied speaking ; andl i don't th%k Seymour will forget it either. Her papa's violent opinion of practical jokes and jokers psledi into insigniicance beside it, and Lambs worhy's goo.l natured assurance th-Lt "no harm was done" fell perfectly un heded in the room. Yes; Norah became Mrs. Stephen Lambsworthy, and refused to invite Sym'our to the wed:ling. Whether aiirs would have ended like that in the ordinairy couirse, I don't know ; but tindt is ho w they did end. and Seymour, at least, has always been convinced that lie has only himself te thank for it.-St. Paul's.

Ben Tillman Thinks Highly of it, and Conservative Members Say it is Patriotic, Senator Tillman, when asked for a statement of his views as to the work of the South Carolina Constitutional Convention thus far and as to the future, for the Southern Associated Press, said: LThe body has evineed a determina tivn to dloselv examine and thoroughly analyze every measure presented, and to do nothing hastily, and, therefore, I am satisfied that the constitution it will make will be a durable instrument. The convention has risen above fac f.onal feeling altogether. The one predominant idea seems to be the future welfare of the people of the State, and whatever the convention does will be well done, I could not pretend to go into detail. I can only give it as my opinion that in the future We will have better common schools and absolute purity and fairness in elections." Ex-Congressman George D. Tillman said that the convention reminded him more of a debating society of over grown school boys than anything else, talking all the time and undoing to morrow what they do to-day. He did hot dare to talk about it much.; He said that so far as that proviso saying "any negro blood" was concerned, it *ould be an absolute necessity to hange that and make it "one-eighth gart negro blood," or havoc would be played with property in South Caro lina. He says he will bring this mat ter up on the third reading. Speak ing of woman's suffrage, he said, with a Wise shake of his bead, that there were many more advocates of woman suffra'ge on the floor of the convention than any one dreamed of, and the adoption of a woman suffrage 1.lank, based on a property qualifleation, was not such an impossible thing as it was generally conceded to be. As to the article of the suffrage committee, he said that the plan could not honestly accomplish the desired result. It was far from getting at the disfranchise ment of the negroes by honest and fair means. A plan th.t has occurred to him to do away nith two-thirds of the negro vote without refusing the ballot to any negro comi-lying nith the honest requirement, is to t2ke ad antage of the migratory habits of the negro. By having township managers and boards, and requiriug a voter to live in the same township for two years to be eligible, two-thirds of the negroes would be disfranchised hon estly and no white man would be hurt, for the white people are chained to the land. He does not think the conven tion will leave the appointmleLt of the commissioners of election to the gover nor. What they wanted was the gov ernment of the peop)le by the people. Who were better to jndge of the quali fications of a voter than the people of the towr.ship wherein the voter re sides ? This was local self-govern ment. The scheme reported was to perpetuate one man plver. When asked for his views, Mr4 George Johnston, one of the leading Conservative members, said: "I am pleased with the conduct of the con vention up to this time. It has struck me being areally patriotic body ofimen, striving to do- what they honestly be lieve to be for the best interests of the State. It has struck me, from all the circumstances by which we are. sur rounded, as being remarkly free from partisan- bias, and I think this is shown in the result of their deliberations. The articles so far adoptedi, I think, will be found free from reasonable ojections. I can recill but one principle engrafted into the constitu tion that I think open to a serious ob jetion, and that is the one granting to municipal corporations the right to exepllt in,nu factu ring cnte rprises from taxation. This I believe to be a vicious princile. A good p)ortion of the serious work of the convention re mains still to be done. The articles on finance and taxattio'n, on corpora tions and on the judiciary are all yet to be considered. Of course I cannot say what the action in regard to them will be, but the convention has allowed the freest debaite, which has been con ducted in a candid man ner, free from passion and from prejudiec until this time. Whenever vicious p)ri ncip)les ave been pointed out, they have,after 5lebate, been eliminated, and I cannot help but feel that the same will be heir conduct in mattersyet to be con sidered. As yet I have not had an opportunity fully to consider the plan presented as to the suffrage, and am, therefore, not qualified to criticize it. The same is the case as to the articles on finance and taxation and on cor porations. This adjournment will give the members an opportunity to investigate these matters, and I look for Zreat good as the result of the re cess. It would be idle to attempt to predict the length of the sess'ion after the recess,but I am tempted to imagine that there is a month's work still ahead. The opportunity to study given by the recess may shorten it. I think it will probably have that effect." Congressman Talbert, the vice-presi dent of the convention, who has been presiding some days, said he is dis gusted at the idea of taking a recess. He says he is opposed to increasing the two mill school tax or the poll tax, and that he will not vote for any suf frage plan that has any touch of a property qualification about it, as the plan reported has. He is pledged not to endanger the vote of any white man, and a property qualification 'will do that, in his opinion. He thinks that if the convention had come here and fixed the suffrage all right and gone home, it would have done enough. Total Visible Supply of Cotton.

Place 00 earths like ourt side by side, yet. Saturn's outermost ring could easily enclose them. Three hundred thou sand earth globes could be stored in side the sun, if hollow. If a human eye were capable of looking upon a fresh measure of world material 5100 square miles large, that eye would need 55,000 years to overlook the sur- I face of the sun. To reach the nearest I fixed star, one must travel 26,003, 000,000 miles; and, if the velocity j were equal to that of a cannon ball, it I would require 5,000,000 years to travel that distance. Besides single stars, we know of no system of stars noving round one another. Stil', we are but a short way into space yet. Outside of our jimits of vision and imagination there are no doubt still arger spaces. Th. Milky Woy holds at least 21,19J,000 star.:, and as each is a sun, we presume it is encircle I by at least fifty planets. Counting up these finres, we arrive at tTis magnt tude of 1,000,935,U00 stare. A thou anil million stars! Who can co: prehend ii? Still, this is only a part f the universe. The modern tele scopes have discovered more and more dilky Ways still further away. We now of some 3000 nebulae which rerresent Milky Ways like ours.

The Kitchenq ol Pars. The kitchens of the honses in Paris, which have often bcen citel as moJels because they are so small and conven ient, have been rebelled against iy the S.ciety of French Cooks, who em ployed Dr. Regeard to find out the causes of the alarming mortality among their profession. .t was found that the kitchens were very damp,, poorly lighted, and ha.1 little or no ventilation. As a result their occa pants were subject to rueamatism, varicose veins, and hernia, to throat trouble coming from draughts and in tense heat, to dyspepsia, and to alco. holism resulting from weakened con stitutions. The remedy proposed is to make the kitchens at least ten feet long, eight feet wide, and seven feet high, with bed room- and water closets, larders and sculleries entirely and effectnally separated. A model Amer ican kitchen has maxble or tile( floor, tiled walis, open piumbing, marble or zinc-covered tables, and very little wood work. When a kitchen floor is not tiled it should be of the very hard est wood. Georgia pine will not an swer, as it soon wears ofil and becomes rough. When a hardwood floor is out of the question oilclot' or lino leum is an excellent subbtitute, If cold to the feet small kitche, rugs may be laid before the table and stove. --New York Post.
