Once in the street, the doctor walks rapid;
ly*-mecban:caily fingering the scrap of patter
which he had retained in the grasp. The
sentiment wioich had kept him 3ilent was a
complex one which it would have been dd3
? colt for him to explain. Hs had acted from
impulse and almost unconsciously. Was it !
pity for that young creature whom all those j
furious eyes had been searching! Did ho j
think to hide from their vulgar and common- j
place conjectures some sad and touching j
orama of love? Was he one of those who be- j
Bared that the secret which the suicide had I
hoped to engulf with herself in those dark !
and* straggling waters should not be wrested j
from ber? A litt?a cf all these sentiments, j
perhaps, Coated through tho young pnysi- j
dan's soul as he walked thus through tho

Ihfcily lighted shop window, and smoothed j

tracer of thc Seine, and rc2d it.

this time towards the boulevard, his features i

welcome memory.

8?12 young, his beard and hair untouched j
by time and work, his eyes clear, his figure ;
supple and erect. I>r. Lucien Telurque was 1
..joe of tho most pleasing members of Parisian ;
society, and ct the same time a practitioner !
with a future. Tenacious and persevering !
fike all Dretons. he h.?.d made his own way in i
. the world, using in tho service of an iron will
?sapero physique and an unbroken andre- :
best constitution. Esteemed and appreciated ?
by every oue as he ur.doubtcdiy wes, there :
Vere still not a few wbo did not fordon him'' j
for the brusque frankness which kept him
constantly at war with tho loose morals and .
careless, calions consciences of the majority :
.of ?be worldlings with whom he associated.
Among his patiente there was one in par?
ticular who disagreed with him, ac old col- j
lege companion and chum, "handsome Rob- I
?rt Beram," as ho had been called, at pres- !
?st a stock broker, husband of a charming ?
VsKe end father of tkrev lovely children! !
yt?urque felt for him a sincere cud genuine
friendship, although their characters dif
feed as widely as tho poles.
t Asa bachelor, when their college days had ;
?aised, Robert had been a thorough rake, al- ;
ways in some "allaire"* or dangling at some j
woman's apron strings-briefly, through and i
through, though Telurque had refuseJ to be- |
Dave it, an unscrupulous scamp. In late years' ?
Lucien, by reason of his position, his manly \
character anil serious way of regarding j
women and tove, hud engaged in many a ;
hot discussion with his friend, whoso sen?
suality, which he was beginning to Sad cut, ;
knew no bounds and recognized no obsta- J
^^Then Derain marled Telurque had hoped"
for a time to see him change, but alas: at
the end of six months cf married life the ;
rake had returned with greater self indul?
gence than ever to hi.-; bachelor v'oes, and
Telurque was soddened' and disheartened"
moro than I can say.
**Ah!" he would exclaim when angered by ;
"soipo fresh proof of Robert's frivolous pro?
fligacy, "you belong t> that class of men who'
call and believe- themselves honest" because
you respect tko contents cf another's pocket
and refuse to taken jewel from ? woman's* !
casket, you who would take from her wbat U j
far more precious st:ll-her honor;51
-Rooert listened smilingly and always |
turned asido this sermonizing, ns he terme*?
ft, pleasantly assuring Lucien tiirt "the
ladies had never yet complained of turn ; ihnt
these who did not wish to yield to his bland1, j
feamente knew precious weil bow to guard j
their honor." , j
"AU the same," th? doctor would persist, j
"contact with sensuality perverts, whether ?
thiconsents or not, and the unhappy cornac'
whom you tempt and who listens to von is
lost irrevocably, for you can make her no re?
paration whatever."
At this point in the discussion Robert :
usually ended it by retreating and leaving
tue floor to the doctor.
Such was the position of matters three
days before the nocturnal scene in the com- i
m^saire's office on the left bank of the Seines,
when Lucien Telurque, passing the Cafe
Ricne about midnight, heard nis name called
from one of tho little tables whim Une the j
terrace and sidewalk in front of it.
"Hello there, doctor! Where are you going
solute? Wait a minute and 1 11 accompany 4
you."
It was Robert Derain, and, hastily shaking
bafids with btscompanion, lie rose and joined
Telurque, who, in obedience to his r-iu'-st,
bad stopped and waited for him. Byram's
face was flushed, his eyes red and feverish -
his- whole oppoarance, in short, that of a man :
who had dined too'.vi ll and passed au evea;
lng in debauchery. He was gnawing at tho
tod cf a wgar, but without smoking it.
The first glance gave the doctor th? secret
of his condition, his fare darkened and he
eren contemplated pretending a professional
engagement to rid himself of bis companion.
Robert, however, was ia high'spirits1 and' ob
served nothing.
"Ab, my dear boy," he CTiedF,- "Mia* an
evening 1 bare had." j
._ Loci?n Te?arcue with^a word-a s*?g??r
violent word-threw his.criaio ia EobSrt*s
face.
"Hein! WhatP cried Berain, astounded
and scarcely comprehending Telurqae*s
epithet. He repeated it.
"And when we meet in future," bo added,
"??you win be kind enough not to speak to ?ne,
for 1 know you nut."
' 'Are you jesting F
.'Jesting? No, I am cot jesting; heuce
forth and forever I refuse to touch the hand
of other than au honest ??an.*"
And the doctor, ar tito moment in front of j
his former friend's door, turned his hack j
upon bini*and walked away. This '.vas three j
nights before the scene in thc commissaires j
oSee upon tho bank of the Seine-three
nights only.,
* " * * * * *
It was ?? o'clock when Lucien Telarque,
who had walked rapidly, still crumpling l>e
tween his fingers the wet and soiled paper j
taken from tho suicide's hand, reached the j
Cate Riche. He seemed" to'know intuitively
that the one he sought would" bo there.
And Robert was there, sitting alone at a j
small tabi<? to one side. He stepped in front j
ot him. I
"I wish to spcrtk with you," he said, briefly. ;
At first the otner showed a little hesitancy, j
but th<- coc?ors -rigid, cutting tone impressed ;
and disquieted him.
"Ail riglVt," ho answered. "I will hear j
you."
Telurque unfolded the paper he held in his j
fingers ?"nd pla?ai it under his eyes.
"Do you recognize it?" he demanded.
Robert, astounded and apprehensive-why ;
he, could not have told y ou-read it onoe, i
twice, ?hric-?. j
"And you, how did you como by itr cried j
be at last in a sullen, angry voice

roughly by the wrist and bent to his oar. j
"Liston-y oh shad know." And he told bim
everything-ali that he had divined, all that J
be know.
Crushed, humiliated, in consternation,
with divps of anguished sweat upon his low?
ered brow. Derain could only hear him and |
stammer with ashen lips: _
"Horrible! Horrible! I swear to' you f
did.not dreatn f?-I swear itr* ,
"What wyuld* che result bave.bcdftf1 con?

oxeases, "had another than myself been

As the doctor turned contemptuously upon
his heel to leave him Robert made a finaTahd
supr?me protestation.

of obtaining equal wages for equal work, j
There has also bee? for many years a teu- j
doney among rtomen in our country to be- j

owe living-to win their own bread. So !
many husband's are utterly useless, or worse, |
that many women hardly feel justified in de- I

There will be no great generation of ?nen

thousands of women take some interest in

sea, wer? to be explained as was first j
suggested"hy the late Charles Darwin. ;

after the mountain had disappeared to
mark its original site.
Alexander Agassi/, and Jolm Murray
have recently held to the doctrine that !
th" greater part of our atolls at least arc
not thus formed, and that the central
cup of the atoll is not due to thc fact
that it occupies th" position of .a subsid?

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INLAND
RIVER FISHERMEN.
Subits of a People That Eujoy T^ifo lo !
and Out of Season-Something About |
the Method* of Catching Red Horse, i
Mud Cats ?s*d Buffaloes.
I
When the snows have melted" oil the j
mountain's and the waters have become !
warmer; when the buds of the red
stemmed water maples that line the
banks of the rivers, and streams begin
to swell: and when tho warming inriu
ence of thc sun draws out tho "frost"
from tho bluff sides, and tho first spring
land slips occur; then the river fishermen j
lake up their work.
They are not a pushing, rushing, bur- .
rying set of men-these fishermen: they j
aro rather on the Waltonian or reflective
style; they can drive a bargain as close
as any one, but their sad lack of indus- I
try keeps them poor. But a jollier, mor? j
lifo enjoying people never lived. I call'
thom a people: they are a distinct class
of men from their neighbors, even those
of like "social" standing. In the winter
they subsist on tho little, tho pftifully
littlo provender laid by during tho busy
Stimmer season, by basket making and
cli&ir bottoming. Some of thean occupy
themselves during the winter months in
a kind of desultory progressional hunt?
ing. Rabbits, semin?is, quails, turtle
doves, field larks, ducks, geese, water
chickens, coots,, robins, sparrows and a
variety of small birds, which, if known
by their right nam#, would not *bo
touched, but, served up fictitiously, are
relished exceedingly, are tho victims of
these conscienceless hunters.
HOOKING AND NUTTING.
But the principal occupation of this
class of men is, as I lia ve said before,
fishing. They usc what is called a "trot
line,** and a3 most people are unfamilfar
with'such a method of fishing"'! will ex?
plain. It consists cf a long tar enameled 1
cotton cord, about a quarter ol: an inch
iir^ thickness, and it reaches across, or
nearly across, the river. Dangling from
it, at a distance of a yard or so apart,
are short linen lines or linking. These
aro supplied with one or more hooks,
each of varying sizes. One fisherman"
generally has four or five such lines, and
with a dip net and catch net Ids outfit is
complete. Thc dip net is a iino meshed
contrivance, with a frame shaped like
tho letter D, the part of tho framo corre
sponding to tho perpend ijular stroke in'
tho letter resting on the ground. The j
net is shoved up tho mouths of springs,'
creeks, branches, etc., and is designed to j
take in all crawfish, minnows and other !
Unfortunate small fry which unluckily j
fall in tlie way. The catch net is an in- j
strument, with tho usc of which ncarlv !
every ?ne is familiar.
The best and favorite bait is small, j
tender crawfish, or *'craws," as they are !
called. Those tho giant red horse, tho j
red tinged sun ]>erch, the mud cats, tho 1
floundering buffalo and their kindred of
fte finny tribe take with .avidity. An-j
other reason for the popular use of this I
article far bait is thc fact that it cannot !
be nibbled off by tho sundry minnows,
charlies and molly hogs that always in,-. I
fest baited grounds. Tad poles, bull j
frogs, molly hogs," rot guts, grubs, grass
hoppers and eel meat all make very j
tempting bait.
Some fish, as for instance tho bufTalo j
and the red horse, require a i-pecial line j
and a special hook. Thc buffalo lino is ?
short and very strong, and is provided j
with specially made buffalo hooks. The
red horse always swallows tho bait, and !
hence it needs a very slender hook. The i
fishermen. as a rule, aro very expert fa' |
their profession.
The hunter and trapper make wood- :
craft a fi:>e art. They have thc habits \
and peculiarities of tlio river designers." ]
They know the singular traits Ox tho i
black perch; have watched and .studied !
the drum in ail characterisfic doings, j
They listen, perhaps, with a pleasurable !
emotion to his weird yet realistic drum- j
ming under tlie 'gliding' keel of tho j
yawl. They aro naturalists in a true-j
sense of the word.
?'iiES?i WATEH FEAXILS.
People who have dealings with conn- j
fry storekeepers may have noticed a I
statement on their letter heads, to the ?
effect that they buy and sell fresh water ;
pearls. The river fishermen are thc men* !
that collect this new article of com-j
merco. _ in some counties in tho "back j
country" statistics shew that tho pearl-;'
ing industry lias done mero to enrich j
certain counties than any other com- ?
meroe. j
The fishermen choose a mussel bcd of i
the desired quality and then begin the ;
work of opening mussels. Tho most i
favorablo localities are generally in the j
neighborhood of fine sand and shallow !
?water. The pearl ts formed, according ?
t"o the discovery of the river naturalists, j
bv fine sand, working in between tho i
glandst>f the mussel's biceps which pro- ;
duce? a secretion that ultimately results i
in a pearl. A perfect pearl is smooth, :
opaque and hard. Their value depends j
upon their clearness and "grain."
Thc fisherman himself, however, is ?
more worthy our attention. His optim-i
ism is ever topmost; his good nature and j
jollity are characteristic. Times may be i
hard with.'the bricklayer, the carpenter, j
and the farmer, and the markets aro j
always open for fish, and when an un?
seasonable time comes, he knows of its
coming, and can, if he wish, prepare j
for it.
Sometimes you will find a fisherman ?
who is not o'er honest, who merits, per- j
haps, the old couplet:
Fish'roiui dance, avA ffcb*man sing.
Ai' fi?h*:na? iitca?'n?os* riav little thing. j
And such aro not rare exception either. '
But thee stick to their professions with i
a persistency that is not easily under
stood, and their "'ives and children arc, |
asa rule, well cared for.-Beverly Ed- ;

Trouble-tome Telephone??.
"While the telephone in the drug store j
fs a useful and essential feature of the j
business.it is placed there ?nore as an ;
accommodation te the public linn as an ?

A. well known lawyer started ipr his
nor?h side home about dusk one evening
Inst week. He thought ho needed exer?
cise, so he concluded lo walk over. He
had with him a ladies' work basket,
lixed upon a high standard, and this he
was carrying home to his wii'e. He
struck Dearborn avenue and hastened
north at a rapid gate. He was looking
straight ahead, and after ho had gone a
few blocks lie noticed a stylishly dressed
lady alight from a impuls?me equipage
and run hurriedly up the steps of a
house. He thought ho noticed her drop
something, and when ho reached' the
sidewalk in front of the house whore the
carriage had stood ho looked down and
discovered a fat purse. Picking it up he
tripped up the steps and rang the door
boil, tlie lady having been admitted be?
fore he came up. His ring was answered
ii: a moment by a neat maid, whom he
ask-.'d if the lady of the house was in.
The lady evidently heard tho question,
as slie stepped at once to the door. He
was about to return the pocketbook she
had dropped, when sho noticed the bas?
ket in Ids hand and blurted out: "No, j
we don't want anything." Then she j
slammed the door in Ti is face. He wanted j
to explain, but it wounded his pride.to'j
be taken fora paddler, and lie tucked tho !
pocketbook in his pocket and proceeded j
on his way home.
On his way down town in- the morning
tho gentleman stopped again'at thc lady's !
house to return the pocketbook. His wife I
liad not been satislied with thc work- j
basket he had brought home with him, I
and 1 io carried it along to c-xciVangefcr !
another.
It happened that when he rang tito j
bell of the house, tho number of winch I
he had carefully noted the dav before, !
the lady herself was in the hall. She
hastened to the door and when she saw I
tho man and tho basket again she pctu- !
lantly exclaimed, "I told you last night, !
sir, that wo wanted nothing," and for j
the second time she slammed the door in' ;
his countenance. This made him hot.
When he reached his office he put the
pocketbook in a sealed: envelope and
tucked it away in his safe. For a whole !
week afterward tho lady advertised in I
all of the papers for lier lost wealth- j
At last the lawyer addressed lier a note, |
asking her to call at his oilice. When
she came lie sat her down, explained all
tho circumstances to her, and then liand- I
ed over lier pocketbook. It contained !
?831. Now it is a safe bet that when a ;

IIo-sv Tt Is Done in Mexico.
"Like the alcalde of Lagos," Como el
alcalde do Lagos, is an expression cur- ,
rent throughout a large part of Mexico
to denote any trying or ludicrous posi?
tion tl tat' ? man is placed in' because both
his hands are full. The story runs: I
.Once went nn alcalde of Lagos to :
church! And in his'right hand he car- j
ried his staff of office, and as ho entered j
the church he lifted oil and held in Ids
left hand his hat. Then he sought to
put tn'o holy water upon his forehead;
but this ho could" not do, for both his
hands were fulf. Then in a while a bold
resolve entered Iiis heart, and ho plunged
hrs head into tho font.
Before the plaza that is in thc midst of
tile town of Lagos was set in order, as
it now is, there was in the middle of ii a \
deep and wide hole. And this hole
caused the town council (ayuntamiento) j
much concern, for they perceived that it :
was a dangerous place, into which tho :
unwary might fall in tho dark and be j
killed cr maimed. So a meeting of the j
council was called, and it was decided
that the hole should bo filled. And to j
get earth to fill it a hole was dug beside j
it. And, bf hold, when it was full lhere ;
wa-5 a new hole, as deep and as wide as '.
that which was filled! Then in the same
way did they set about filling the new
hole, and. again was thc same jesuit,
only now the hole no longer was in the
middle of the plaza, but over at the side
of it in t'he street that goes out toward 1
the north. And again they lined ii, and |
so continued, until itt last tho hole was 1
far out in the northern suburb of the :
town. And there they suffered tho hole :
to remain, for thero it did no harm.- !

After thc enjoyment of a Turkish bath, j
and when reclining on ono of the catches '
in thc cooling room, a few days since, I [
asked the attendant, who had given mea '
more than usually-good rubbing, what:
his name was. He replied, "Jim." "Isn't :
there but one Jim in thc placo:" "There
couldn't be, sir," caidhe. "Dut suppose i
a new man with that name should be \
employed? Don't .such a thing happen oe- i
casionallyr*' "Yes; buf wo would baptize
him Ind ?i've him another name. A new j
fellow carno on yest lay who said his !
name was James. We grabbed him. took j
him over to tho big plunge and com- i
menced swinging him back and forward i
for a good souse. He cried out, 'Don't I
'i
throw me, for 1 can't swim.' When lie j
carno up out of tho hole lie liad made in j
the water and was relieved* to find that '?
he could touch bottom with Iiis head clear ?
of tho surface, lie was saluted with, "Your j
name is John,' and'his name is J'?h.n I>cre. 1
Tho next John will have to' go' through !
tho same process and be baptized some- j

'Shoot thc Lion."
A minister once announced as las text: .
"The slothful' man saith, there isa fina ?

l>oy and said: "You have given in three j
words t he sum of my sermon, and that j
all may remember, I will repeat your j
summary." Then turning t" the con- j
gregaiion he saith "The slothful man j
saith l.here is a lion in the way." After ;
a pause he went on: "My young friend j

A ft rfu? Composer.
Georgi If roderick Handel, although a
xative of Germany, being born in. Halie,
Saxony, of. Feb. Cl. IG&i, passed tho
greater part o." his life in England. Even
inchildhood lW f&cri?iced' lits hours of
play and hhs meals for :?.!? study cf
music, and at 10 years of age composed
a set of amatas that were not wrlh'?i??
value. As a composer, Handel was
great in every Rtyfc. fir his tdicralw'?r?sj
lu? throws at an immeasurable distance
all who preceded and followed him.
Very soon after, his arrival in London,
in 1710, Ifantle? attfacted tho attention
of Queen Anne. A Te Denni and Jubi?
late, composed to celebrate tho treaty of
Utrecht, gained him a pension of ?:200.
Handel died on Good Friday, April 18,
1759, and was buried in Westminster
Abbey. The compenser gave a perform:
ance of his own' compositions in 17-19,
by which p>00- were realized' for tito
Foundling hospital, which institution re?
ceived ?7.1)00 from' tho ann rid' repetition'

Wo hear very little about tho advance
cf improvement in agricultural imple?
ments and farm machinery, but that
brandi of the industrial pursuits of the
country is keeping abreast of the times,
nevertheless. Thc- plow of twenty-five
years ago-is nowa curiosity, and those
who sold'and used it cannot' realize how
it was made to eorve Ce purposes for
which it -vas manufactured. And the
prow of a decade .sir.ee. while perhaps
not so cm dc, has been abandoned for a
better implement. And so it is all
through tho list of agricultural imple?
ments and farm machinery, and in an?
other quarter of a century it is possible
that the farmer will walk no more in the
cultivation cf tefe farm.-St. Louis Globo*
