"Herr Schmidt, my dear, is merely <a naturalist." < "I know It," stormed Phineas. "I've heard of these plaguey naturalists before. I've no desire to come down stairs some flne morning to find a ringtailed .monkey sitting on the window sill act1 :lng as referee while the kangaroos and 'croeddlles play leapfrog over the flower-beds. No, madam, no naturalists for Phineas Peel." 1 ' Pretty Mrs. Peel never allowed her temper to get the better of her. She laughed softly at her husband's fears. ana aia not niter uer ueierunuuuuu iu the least. i "Has It slipped your memory. Thlneax," she asked, "that Rh^-d cottage Is ? portion of my property? If I choose to let it to a naturalist, even though he Ibe a foreigner, I am perfectly justified Id doing so. This was true enough, and Phineas -calmed down. "Herr Schmidt's collection of 'monstrosities,' as you call it," went on Mrs. Peel, "probably contains nothing more dangerous than a death's head moth In a bottle. Anyhow, I have no Intention to disappoint him." "But I " "Yon will treat him with the respect <Boe from one gentleman to another, Phineas," broke in Mrs. Peel. "And ocw, dear, we'll dismiss the subject" Phlneas Feel was?though at times he doubted It?ft lucky fellow. lie had carried off a young and handsome woman from a host of suitors. Why Mary Marsden had chosen to beatow her hand and fortune on such a "^lain. ereryday sort of fellow as the dlmTbtrtlre Phlneas Peel was always a mystery to her acquaintances. The wedding was an accomplished fact before her relatives bad recovered from the Shock caused by the announcement of "Iter engagement. Mary appeared to be happy enough too. Phlneas. taken as a whole, was not a bad sort of fellow. He was Jeal?ns, that was true, but his wife came to regard that as an extra proof of his devotion. Had the proposed tenant of Rhyd cottage been an aged, decrepit, brokendown old man, Phincas would have stretched out tha right hand of fellowship. But, alasr He it Schmidt was ytrong and handsome?far too bandr some, Phlneas thought. "Very well, Mary," said Phlneas, taking his hat from the peg and making Tor the door: "you have overruled me sis usual and mnst be prepared for the consequences. In less than a week we ahall have the bouse and garden overrun with every conceivable variety of reptile, from the beastly lizard to the boa constrictor." And Phlneas stalked Indignantly forth with the merry laughter of bis wife ringing In his cars. * A month or more had passed, and so tar the fears of Phlneas had proved to be groundless. Hcrr Schmidt's "mon troslties" had been kept well within bounds, and as yet Mr. Peel had not seen so much as a strange caterpillar in his garden, which never looked better. However, he was not happy. He liad taken an aversion to the new tenant from the first, and would never be satisfied until he had got rid of him. "Confound that fellow." muttered rhlueas one evening as he sat on an upturned bucket behind the pea sticks. "He's prowling about on the other side ef the hedge again. Hope he won't c**ch sight of me. for I'm about tired his oily tongue and eternal smile. Hello! What the deuce is the mcau|PS of this?" Down the garden path tripped Mrs. reel. The naturalist was evidently expecting her and greeted her with a smile that almost brought tears into Ike eyes of the Curious Pbinsau. -? % was the i nra catch t jiko i at the for t c n w tae ?snnt "Good lightly iuto tineas savt and shakr.g figure in jou out for something ; but blood, lis wrongs, lie would t while he he tragiof au unved havoc vers. saw him oued duck Ire in the rd impres;tg him at lijimr?&QI?noriunii.v. ^ However, as nothing siwrt of an earthquake would have indu(\(' the old pun to po off in any circunvptanees? and Phiiicas had made assurances doubly sure by dropplnp the shot first and powder afterwar<V~the "rulMre" in question was not likely to he seriously damaged, and Ma*F contented herself with expressing aY'iope that her husband would not hurt liiniself.

Mr. Schmidt," he1 fldded primly, "I'll meet you at 10:30 sharp." * It was about 10:43 and raining heavily. Phiueas Peel, seated on a' wall overlooking the back of lihyd co-ttage, ...UV, V,la dnnb irlln lotil nprnsj lila knees. was beginning to feel uncomfortable. "The note said 10:30," he muftere<l. "It must be after that time now. VVhat's that?" 1 Phincas had caught the sound of heavy feet moving cautiously over the gravel. I3e grasped his gun and peered into the gloom, but could distinguish nothing. f Suddenly he heard voices, evidently at the front of the house. He war5 about to quit bis place under the Impression that Hprr Schmidt was leaving* by the front door after all, when one: of the back windows was cautiously raised and the lithe form of the naturalist dropped lightly to the ground, j Creeping along the side of fbo wall on which Pblneas lay he presented an excellent mark. Mr. Peel, yowever, could not bring bimself to sho^t a man down In cold blood. He would felve him a chance. "Stop, you scoundrel!" he shfouted. The effect of the challenge ^as scarcely what Phlneas had anticipated. Herr Schmidt darted forward and seized the barrel of the gun. - - *- ftrA He was mucn me stronger o? and Phlncas was pulled fronp the wall In a twinkling. Lying on tb< broad of his back on the gravel In-p. I*aJf daaed condition he saw the tall ( form of Schmidt standing over him; with the gun raised. I "Keep your tongue still, jou fool," he hissed, "or I'll brain y<fu. Nowquick?help me over the waJ'-" Phlneas hesitated, but th? threatening attitude of the other induced him to rise. However, he had vf? intention of giving in. I Obeying his Instructions 'be caught hold of Schmidt's foot to #ivo him "a leg up." Before the naturalist could grip the top of the wall, however, Phineas saw his opportunity. D-nninf. iiimonif fnr tho effort, he ex-1 orted all bis strength and pulled Schmidt bodily from the \?*all. He fell flat on his face, and before he could recover himself Phlneas Jumped on his back and seized him rountf 'he throat, emitting a yell that woul<l have done infinite credit to a Sioux I ndian. The next moment Phincas was dragged ofT from behind and found himself in the clntches of a burlT member of the local police force. Four or five others se*ZC(l Schmidt, who struggled in vain to free himself. "What am I arrested for?" gasped Phineas. "There's your man!"

The\ Impression prevails In many minds\ that coffee Is extremely injurious io the nerves and also to the liver. Iflow true this may be It Is not easy to\decide. Normal constitutions do not, Jls a rule, seem to find coffee In moderation In the least degree Injurious. Dyspeptics may experience distress from its use, but according to some carefully-conducted experiments, It is quite as likely to be the sugar and cteam in the coffee as the coffee itself. | Persons whd have been in the habit of taking coffee prepared in the usual: fashion and Jiave found It to disagree j with them nave inea macs couee wimout sugar or cream with most excellent results.

In this way the system does not become accustomed to the medicine and it is not necessary to increase the dose of the drug. 1 Forged a Check to Buy a Bible. Several days ago one of the Cincinnati banks discovered that a check drawn in favor of the Methodist Book Concern, which had been deposited by it and gone through the clearing bouse in regular form, was a forged one. As the check, however, was only for $5, instead of sending it back to the clearing bank the teller took it to the Methodist Book Concern and told them it was a forgery. After looking at it carefully in a thoughtful manner the head of the firm said that the man purchased a Bible with that check. 2 A Barefooted Bridesmaid.

But this canal through the isthmus is not a thing which can be accomplished readily, and there is some divergence of opinion in regard to the best place on the isthmus through I which to cut it.

Two men-of-war will aid the expedition and will assist in the hydrographic work in the harbors on the east and west coasts.

Ltsrei ma Good ma Fnltt I A French druggist, named Jasquemin, has conceived the idea that the flavor of fruits of shrubs aud trees generally is generated in the .flowers of these plants, and passes from them into the fruits. The fragrance whioh the leave* of the blanck currant bush give off, especially after a little rubbing, and which is so very similar to the to the taste of the berry, has led this man to adopt this opinion. He goes further, and says that the pleasant taste of the apple, pear or grape is prepared in the leaves of the respective plants, althoug he admits that it -ARAGUA j -m'v v. <9 i, ^ ^ / JaV oioa '' _ " r-.*_ m R0PO3ED CANAL. is hardly noticeable with these, and by far not in the same degree as with | the black currant. Jasquemin places apple leaves in water containing from fifteen percent 91 sugar; then he adds yeast. Daring the process of fermentation there is an odor of apples, and when the fermentation is finished and the yeast has settled, a straw yellow liquid is obtained which possesses the fine "bouquet" of the fruit of the respective trees from which the leaves were obtained. With vine leaves the results are still more prolifio. A beverage tasting and smelling strongly of wine is obtained, and finally brandy may be distilled from it which is equal to the best cognac.

' Visited Clemsoo College. 1 The members of the South Carolina General Assembly visited Clomson Col- ' lege, the State's agricultural and mechanical college, on the ISth?Lee's birthday. Notwithstanding that a cold, penetrating rain was falling, parties of legislators, escorted by various members of the faculty, were shown through the several departments. Mechanical hall, the chemical laboratory, dairy, hot house, barns, \ barracks and iu fact ewfthing connected with the college w^e inspected by turn. Everything was admirably adapted to the needs of an immense agricultural and mechanical college. Hacks and wagons were kept going constantly, as guests were oriven around tbe grounds, which embrace considerable territory. President Hartzog seemed ubiquitous. Protected from the weather by a mackintosh, he was soon bespattered with mad, for he was driving about explaining everything. The opinion heard from many members was, with striking unanimity, that the college was on a scale they little dreamed of. The practical demonstrations arranged for as announced, were carried out successfully, save the dress parade, of which the weather would not per mit. Just before tbe departure of the gen tlemen of tbe General Assembly a pleas] ing incident occurred. By preconcert.
