"That's jost it," put in Arlington,
eagerly. "They all try-bat they just
have to try. It's queer, for Amyatt's a

him, a letter which had been forwarde
by his publishers, through whom it ha

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

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

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

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

Communication Between Deaf Mutes.
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?

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

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"

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

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?

trains of thought without liaving volun?

and arriving at results of original crea?

REMINISCENCES OF DICKENS.
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!' 'Put
towthry sticks on th' fire, an' let's have
a blizzer'-a blaze, *A good blizzom'--a
?Ood blaze. 'Tliat tree is blizzared'
basted, withered. As an oath the word
Ii, oi>?n used, and 'May I be blizzcred*
will i'ea^'ly be understood."-New York
Home -rnir??J.

The Manufacture of Macaroni.
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.
