S although for some time his intimates h; known him as, the popular author wi stood second to none as a faithful deli -eator of army men and manners, to tl world at large he was still John Dawe and but few knew that the name was n his own.. A handsome man was Maj. Amyat and looking at him as he sat at the tabl .one could not wonder at young Arlinj ton's curiosity concerning his past life, would be hard to say positively that ar ; trace of a disappointment-what Arlin? ! ton calls a "let down"-marked h ; pleasant fresh face, or lurked in tl steady gray eyes that were as clear an cool and undisturbed as the eyes of a ?a of 16. He had a frankland tender smile, tc? and he was smiling then over a letti which lay open upon the table befoi him, a letter which had been forwarde by his publishers, through whom it ha been sent, a letter written in a clear, ur formed child's hand, on paper which ha been ruled with pencil lines. "My dear Mr. $?hn ?awes," it saic "I have read all your booksand like ther very much. But, please, I do want t know if Laura is going to marry Gerar King. I do hope you won'?t.ge and marr her to any one else, because ? am very very- fond of him.

"With best love, I am your lovin< little friend, LACEA HOLT. "P. Sw-It was quite mr own idea ti rate," like most writers who have won: hold upon the hearts of the ^people A myatt was accustomed to receiving many letters from all sorts and condition of men and women who were utte: .strangers to him, expressing all mannes of sentiment about his work. Nor wa this the first letter he had had from s child; but it was the first that had touched lum so deeply as this one did There was a quaintness about its phrases, a brave frankness about its sentiment, i. .flteshness in his tone which won hi? heart "I hope you wont go and marry her tc any one else, because I am very, very cond of him." "Laura is my name, too." **I am 9, or at least nearly , 9." And "It was quite my own idea to write." Amyatt read the letter again w^th a feeling which, if he had been s woman, would have brought tears inte his eyes, but'which, as it was, gave him & suspicious lump in his throat and that tender smile on his lips. "Dear little soul" he said, softly, '*] must write to her"-and forthwith he drew some paper before him and wrote a long and charming letter to the new little friend who was 9, or (scrupulous little soul that she was) "at least nearly Then he, too, added a postscript, which was, ""Write to me again." Amyatt's little friend did write to him again? a letter full of glee caused by his. Then Amyatt answered that, for he couldn't leave the poor little woman's pretty words unanswered, don't you know; and so, before long, quite a brisk correspondence passed to and fro between them. lie still kept up his nom de plume, though for no particular reason other than he wished to avoid the trouble of an explanation, and it was all the same to her; and long letters filled with ac? counts of her child's life or with her opinions of his characters came to him regularly and were as regularly answered. Sometimes be would send her a book, and often she would send him a little box of flowers winch adorned his button? hole. "Bather a new departure for you, eh, old chap?" Trevor hinted. "Better late than never," returned the major, cheerfully. "I always thought Amyatt would take rt badly if he did take it," confided the senior captain to Arlington. "Ah, but you didn't think he ever would take it " Arlington said by way of a reminder. "Weil, that's true," Trevor admitted. Amyatt however, knew nothing of k^e gossip in the regiment concerning h;m other than what Trevor had actually sat? . to him; for. in spite of Iiis great popularity. wf? ,a certain some ?nng about m> ^ch effectually pre? vented even tmT* iamihanty. which usually exists tiniong ?\ ^ ***** regiment. And the days ?? ^?J they grew into weeks, as tnC OI busy men do, when one day he tC^7^ that it was more than six weeks since <I16 iiad heard from his child friend, Laura Holt "How odd that the little soul has not written, " he thought; "perhaps, she, too. has forgotten." However, as he had just got some numbers of a magazine in which a short story of Iiis was appearing that month, he put a wrapper round one and ad? dressed it to "Miss Laura Holt;" and by return of post there came for him ? letter in a strange handwriting bearing the post mark of the town in which she lived. Ay, but was it so strange? Amyatt stared at it for a full minute before ire opened it* his memory going back, back, hack-Oh! to the days cf his boyhood, gone never to come again, never any more. And thea, when he tore the cover and found that it contained a little note ia his friend's round handwriting, that memory straightway vanished "Dear Mr. John Dawes," it said, "thank you so much for sending me the story. Mother is just going to read it to me, but I wanted to write to you first. You must have thought it odd ? didn't write so long. I have been very ill, and can only sit up for a few minutes and write with a pencil now. I think I am rather better. I have been five weeks in bed already. Ever your loving f rien<?, "LACRA." Naturally, Amyatt knew but little about the ailments of children, but it j seemed to him that for a child of 9 years J o?d to be in bed five weeks at a stretch, with no immediate prospect of getting up again, was a very bad sign, and in his anxiety he appealed to the regimental surgeon. ""What's the matter with the child," he asked. "I don't know." "Then you'd better make the illness shorter, or give it scarlet fever," he said, thinking that Amyatt was merely stating a case for one of his stories. "But it is a real child," the major ex? plained. ?*Very bad look out, then," returned the doctor, decidedly. Then Amyatt wrote to the mother. **I shall be grateful if you w?l tell me { how my little friend is," he said. "I assure you if I had known her for twenty years I could not feel more anxious than her letter has made me feel this morn? ing." Yet even when this was gone, he still could not take his thoughts away from the dear little friend whom he had never seen, lying prostrate-for the j handwriting told him she must be indeed j very ill-on a bed of sickness and pain. ?i two days the reply came-written in the same hand as the cover of the j child's last letter, handwriting which set j every nerve in his body throbbing, every pulse beating like a steam engine. ??My little girl is very, very ill," Mrs. Holt wrote; "much worse since she ^S^^S^S^^j^^^jSt told me last night that I must be ready to face I tb? worst.. When I tell you that she and I are quite alone !in this world, you will .know what "my agony is. I can't write .about it. ? can only thank you and bless you for ali the pleasure you. have given her, and beg you, utter stranger that you are, to pray that this blow may not fall upon me. Yours gratefully, "LAURA ST. MART HOLT." * Titter stranger that you are !" Wliy, even in his concern and distress,' Amyatt almost laughed out aloud. A stranger to her-a stranger! Why, the letter, the handwriting, the name, had all-brought back the self same memory that the cover of the child's letter had called back only the other day! The memory of what? Well, just tins-of the only wotnaft that lie had ever asked to he his wife, the only woman he had ever loved. She had told him frankly and simply that she was engaged to another man, and Amyatt had rushed away, never asking, in his misery, so much as his rival's name. So it had "been TTolt! And he w*as dead Yes. evidently he was dead, for she had said that she and the child-the child who was dying-were quite alone m the world But be help her there! She should be alone in the world no longer, for he would go to her-he would stand between her and the world, he would offer her his strong arm and his true heart to guard nerf rom all evil, to keep her^so that trouble should not come nigh her. Ay, but could*, he help her so that trouble should not come nigh her?

The modes of communication between deaf mutes have received a most impor? tant advance from a method recently de? vised, which consists in each 4etter of the alphabet being represented by some por? tion of the palm of the hand. For in? stance, the eminence between the first and second joints of the index finger corresponds to W, the one between the second and third to M, and so on. The hand thussalplrabetically divided is placed palm downward in a tao?d, whose bot? tom is perforated with holes which cor? respond to the lettered parts of the hand Each of these holes permits-of the pass? age of a small hammer, which is pressed upward by the passage of an electric cur? rent. These various hammers are con? nected with an apparatus similar -to the key board of the piano, each key repre? senting a letter, and being connected by wires with the corresponding hammer in the moid A teacher can spell out the words on the key board, when the ham? mers fly up through the openings in the bottom of the mold and spell the words by touching -the lettered eminences of the hand of a pupiL Any humber ofr molds may be attached to the instrument, and a like number of pupils be simultane? ously instructed.-Globe-Democrat. A Seared Gambler. Speaking of the late German emperor, M. Albert Wolff says in Le Figaro: "Army ofncers were not allowed to gam? ble at Baden-Baden. One evening the king was visiting the tables when lie noticed a subordinate in civilian dress trying his luck at trenteet quarante. He had-placed two or three louis on the table and had won a nice little sum, when he saw the king opposite. He turned pale, trembled and liesitated to take possession of his money. There? upon King William approached and whispered in his ear: 'Don't be afraid Take in your money, but don't do it again.' " - New York Tribune. Value of Social Knjoyment. Social enjoyment is another factor tliat enters into long life. I do not Ix?lievc in ultra fashionable society, and care noth? ing for it. The late hours, the dissipa? tion, the dreary form ait ties, the shallow minded talk and the general air of hy? pocrisy make it very distasteful to me. There are a great many among the rich people in New York at the present time who lose real social enjoyment. Having ^pddenly acquired wealth, they have be? come separated from their old friends and acquaintances with whom, in earlier days, they spent many a sociable and sensible evening. They gire big dinners to a lot of brainless snobs, sycophants and parasites who will eat their food and laugh at them behind their backs. Their honest friendships of poorer days have been broken, for their acquaintances, not being able to give big dinners, do not ac? cept invitations to them provided they are sent, and so the spirit of true, whole? some enjoyment is soon lost.-P. T. Bar? num in The Epoch. Concerning Unc?n*cion? Cerebration. Under the somewhat fanciful title, "Hie Antechamber of Consciousness," Mr.^Francis Speir, Jr., contributes to The Popular Science Mouclily the result of some carefully planned investigations in psychology for the purpose of weighing anew the argument for unconscious cer? ebration. He distributed printed ques? tions, to be answered from personal ex? perience. The question in which the in? quiry centered was: "Does there exist in mv>n *he power to exert intellectual ac? tivity dui?ng unconsciousness?" The anJ^veT' are grouped and summar? ized under fer >eads: (a) When the ef? fort is simple,-^" reproducing past ex? periences in obedience to a mandate of the will, as in the famigar_ experience of recalling a lost name or x^?5 con" sciously devoting the attentiv.71 some? thing entirely different; (b) by &?nir,ar" ing related facts and arriving at a seu te" judgment, as in the case of awaking I from a sound sleep at a predetermined hour; <c) v.-iien the effort is more com? plex, by continuing old trains of thought began in consciousness, and proceeding logically, step by step, to a relative set? tled conclusion, as in dreaming out the solutions of problems in chess, mathe? matics, etc, or in reaching the solutions while working at something totally dif? ferent; (d) when the effort is most com? plex by commencing and continuing new trains of thought without liaving volun? tarily undertaken or continued them, and arriving at results of original crea? tions, as inventions, literary and musical creations, etc. Of tire first Ol per cent, of those answering had had such experi? ences; of the second 40 per cent, claim this power hi a strongly marked degree; about .S-3 per cent, claim the possession of the power defined in "(c)," and about 30 per cent, claim the unconscious creative [K)wer.-Chicago News.

His Compos i Mood-An Example ol His I xi ve of Mischief. Ono day Millie and. I were standing*on the balcony of our howse when Dickens^ came sauntering by. On seeing us he promptly struck an altitude, with one band pressed to his 'heart, and the other thrown out aloft, as he spouted dramati? cally: "Tis my lady! 'tis my love! Oh, that I were a glove upon that hand, that I might touch tliat cheek!*' "Which of us do you intend to be Juliet to your Romeo?" inquired Millie. "Whichever you choose, my little dears!" "ho answered, touching his hat airily and strolling on. Next morning we were there again as he passed, this time with merely an ungracious "How do!" He was weaving his ideas, and naturally was bored by interruption. Afterward, when Iiis face bore this ab? stracted 'look, I always pretended not to see him. It saved him the trouble of be? ing obliged to recognize me, did not en 'opoach on his composing inood. and alto? gether pleased him. ? was horribly afraid of him sometimes, and told him so Once, greatly to his amusement Seeing him then, calm and solemn us the Sphinx, it was difficult to imagine .the amount of mischievous fun of which he was capable. To *dve* -an example. We were on the pier one evening, naring been ?musing Ourselves by dancing a quadrille, in a railed-off space which Sickens h"ad named the Family Pew, ne cause it contained seats on two sides. He was in high spirits, as he enjoyed being here at dusk, where lie escaped tife "Scru? tiny of the "gaping throng." He con? descended to perform on his pocket comb and a piece of paper, while Fred whistSed, the two thus doing duty as "band," After our caperings we strolled toward the end of the little pier, to watch the tide rippling in under the fading light. The scene had become weird and uncanny, the night seeming to drop suddenly down without a star or moon; the only light a ?lingering phosphorescent gleam on the crest of the waves. All at once the spirit of the hour-a demon of mischief evidently-seemed io take possession of Dickens. He flung his arm around me and whirled me with him down the inclined plane of the jetty, toward a tall upright pole fixed at the extreme end. To this pole he clung with his other arm, while he informed me in theatrical accents that he intended to hold me there until the wild waves^over wheJmed'fes. "Thinkl" ho cried, ?rf?utnmg every word "Think of the sensation we shaM create! Think of the road to celebrity which we' are about to tread-no, I mean, not exactly to tread, but to flounder into!" Here ? entreated him to let ine go, while I struggled desperately to free my? self. "Let your mind dwell on the r?oluro? in The Times, where will ho vividly de? scribed the fate of the lovely Emma P-, drowned by Dickons in a fit of dementia! Don't struggle; i>oor ?ittf* bird! you are powerless in the claws of such a kite as this child!" The *ast glimmer of light was BOW gone, and close to us was the dark mystery of the surging water, very black, very cold, and above all coming nearer very rapidly. With a horrid plash it dashed over my feetl I screamed out: "Oh! my dress; my best dress, my only silk dress will be ruined!" He was not softened fn the feast by this tragic appeal, but continued ranting non? sensically and panting with his exertions to hold me, and with his . suppressed laughter. Then I gave a wild shriek. "Mrs. Dickens! help me!-make Mr. Dickens let me go. The waves are up to my knees!** "Charles!** Mrs. Dickens Called in frantic .accents. "How can you he so silly? You will both be carried oil by the waves (then falling from pathos to bathos) and you'll spo? the poor girl's "silk dress." "Dress!**shouted Dickens with, scorn. "Talk not to me of dress! When the pall of night is enshrouding us in Cimmerian darkness, when wc already stand on tlic j brink of the great mystery, shall our thoughts be of such vanities? Am ? net immolating a brand new pair of patent leathers still unpaid for? Perish stPch ' low born thoughts? In this hour of abandonment to the voice cf destiny^ shall we be held back by the puerilities of silken raiment? Shall leather or prunella {whatever that may be) stop the bolt of fate!" The sudden parenthetical cliange from high ?owh rant back again to ordinary accents was most ridiculous. Here I succeeded in struggling out of his grasp, and fled tb my friends, almost crying with vexation, my only silk dress clinging" round my saturated limbs, and leaving a watery track as I stumbled on. -New York Tribune. Concerning the Word "HHrturd.'* Respecting the word "blizzard,** a cor? respondent writes to London Notes and Queries: **T2ie word blizzard is well known through the Midlands, and its cognates are fairly numerous. I have known the word and its kin fully thirty years. Country folk used the word to denote blazing, bhisting, blinding, daz? zling or stifling. One who has had to face a severe storm of snow, hail, rain, dust or wind would say on reaching shelter that he hr.s 'faced a blizzer,' or that the storm was 'a regular blizzard.' A blinding flash of lightning would call forth the exclamation, 'My! that wor a blizzoiner!' or'Tliat wor a blizzer!'

Macaroni is a preparation of One wheat flour made into a peculiar paste or dough and then manufactured into pipes or tul>es. Macaroni is of Italian invention and has long been known ns a delicacy among the sons and daughters of sunny Italy. The chief places of the Old World in which this article of food is manufact? ured are Naples and Genoa, but it Ls now a recognized industry in New York. To a n jx?rter the largest manufacturer in New York and in fact in the United .Slates recently stated that the process was simple and that the amount of capi? tal required to establish and conduct the ? manufacture of macaroni was very limited. After (he wheat hr.s been prop, crlygrouiid the flour is mixed into dough. This is then thoroughly kneaded. After the dough has been rendered perfectly smooth it is next to bc reduced to thin cy linders, ribbons or tubes, according as it is to lie converted into vermicelli or macaroni. For thc latter, however, a somewhat less compact dough is required than for thc former. In either case a hollow cylindrical vessel of cast iron is required, having its bottom perforated with large or small holes or slits as may be needed. When the cylinder is filled with paste a piece of wood or a plate of iron that exactly fits it is forced in by means of a powerful press, and the paste jis tims driven through the perforated bottom of the cylinder, taking the sha]re of the perfor? ations. Macaroni is sometimes forced through the holes in the form of pipes, but it is oftener ht iillets, which are ' formed into tubes by joining their edges together before they have time to be? come dry. The macaroni is partially baked during manufacture. In a few days it is dry enough for use. For vermicelli the holes in the cylinder are smaller and the dough is more tenacious. The paste is forced slowly through the holes, -and w??en the threads have reached the length of a foot they are broken off and twisted into any desired shape on a piece of paper. It is used at most hostelries in thickening soups and for puddings, but is invariably eaten by Italians in its original state. Whereas in the past large quantities of it were im? ported, now New York exports macaroni in large quantities, and the demand for the American article is growing. -New York Mail and Express. Asthma a Symptom. Asthma is not a disease per se as is popularly supposed, but a symptom of disease. It is spoken of by different names-as, for instance, hay asthma, rose or June asthma, and ipecac asthma. Some people will get asthma from sleep? ing on a feather pillow; others as soon as they come in contact with certain ani? mals, as a dog, a cat, or a squirrel. Pro? fessor Austin Flints cannot sleep on a feather pillow without getting asthma, and so susceptible is he to it that he is able to detect the feathers when they ate placed under his pillow by persons whose design ?t is to catch him on his theory. Cases have come to notice where the asthmatic' symptom was developed in men whVfcappened to get hold of a blanket upon which a dog had been sleeping the previous day.' Asthma may bea -symptom of emphy? sema of the lungs, and may last for weeks or even months. Two men who were treated by me, one having nasal polypus and the other stone in the b??cl- - der; both had asthma. To persons sus? ceptible to it asthma is developed from working in the dust around thrashing machin?s, and otliers suffer from it as soon as they enter an apothecary's*shop where ipecac is kept. Nor is dropsy any? thing but a symptom of disease or a re? sult of it. Defined, generally, asthma is a manifestation of disease of the nervous system which causes contraction of the broncliial tubes. It may be seen as a spasmodic contraction of the nerves, and of course may be a symptom of heart disease or some other disease.-Dr. B. V. Steinmetz in Globe-Democrat. A Vast Fortune In Ftrr*. "No one will ever be able to tell tho real wealth of Alaska, ? said a furrier to a reporter. "It consists of the abund? ance ot its skinned animals. The Russians used to value the country for its furs, and it was mainly for the furs that th is country acquired it from Russia. The trade has grown very much since its annexation to this country. The ship? ments of sea otter and fur sealskins alone have more than doubled during the past ten years, ?and now average annually ?1.500,000 in value. The ?st of furs produced in that part of the country is a long one. Tlie land furs comprising otter, beaver, brown bear, black bear, red fox, silver fox, blue and white fox-, mink, martin, polar bear, lynx and muskrat. Rabbits, marnotsand wolver? ines are also common, but their skins are retained by the natives. The annual value of the furs, sea and land, now ob? tained from Alaska is estimated to aver? age $3,000,000, and there is no sign of decrease in the yield. The competition of the traders for skins lias stimulated the natives to greater industry in hunt? ing, and the prices now paid to the hunters are from four to ten times moro than were current during the Russian rule."-New York Mailand Express. Death In a Blizzard. Dr. Smith, the health officer of this port, a day or two ago spoke of death in a blizzard as being the result of suffoca? tion, and explained Iiis meaning by say? ing; "One of my clerks was two hours in coming te me on one of the days of the furious blizzard in this city. He was three hours and ? half, he told m?% in going back over the same distance, some? thing like two miles?. He felt no incon? venience beyond the exhaustion conse? quent on the fight with the wind. He slipped into' doorways to catch his breath, and when the wind blew too sharply in his face turned around with his back to it. D?ath in a blizzard comes too often from attempting to breast the storm. Th? wind takes away one's breath. Suf? focation follows, ? man doubles up and drops down and is dead. He does not even know what ailed him. If he had turned his back to tho,, blast for a moment he might have faced it again and have gone on for another struggle unharmed-. "-New York Trib?ne? The Quaker'* Peculiar ideas* The Quaker never makes oath. He avoids as far as possible coming where such procedure is necessary-, bi\t if obliged to -make a declaration, tht> falsity of which would subject him to legal pen? alty, he affirms. Nor does he observo any holy days or feast days; He believes that the obligation to regard. bn? day more than another ceased with the Mosaic dispensation. The visiting of theatres* race courses, dancing halls, or ' the investment in any kind of lotteries grab bags in church fairs included-are declared to be incompatible with the teachings of tho society, and are forbid? den. No matter what station in life you occupy, a Quaker does not use the pre fix "Mr.1' As soon as your Christian name is given you are addressed by it whenever necessary. Ail these things ase of course known to the Quakers themselves, but not to the average Phi?a delphian. -Philadelphia Cor. Glubc-Dem ocrat. ? BM I ?+-?.?
