Paine’s Celery Compound taken d= ing the early spring days has even more tan its usual remarkabie efficacy in making people well. It makes short work of all diseases of debility and nervous exhxuus- tion. It rapidly drives out neural zia, sleeplessness, dyspepsia and rheumatism from the tystem.

The Last Silence.

St. Paul tells Titus to exhort servants; to please their masters in all things, * not: answering again.’’ If there is to be com: fort in the house, others besides the servants must not answer again. ** Answering again’’ means trying to get the last word; but those who desire domestic felicity will rather strive after the last silence. To certain husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters, we com- mend the following words ef an old writer: ‘‘They which keep silence are well said to hold their peace, because silence oftentimes dath keep the peace, when words break it.’’

Take a picee of twine and tic a nomber of knots into it at short intervals. If this knotty twine is laid around some- body’s head so that it will turn the ears forward, and then the forefinger and thumb of each hand allowed to slide along the string, it will cause a noise similar to thunder to be heard by those who are undergoing the experiment.

Gentiewomen in Trade.

Aside from increasing their’ own revenue g, the advent into trade of sey.eral women in EKuropean upper-tendom has had a salutary effect upon American women, or, more broadly reaching tian that even, upon American society. We are acc usad, with considerable mors just- ice than #s agreeable to consider, of not being original, and of aping anything and everything that is Londonese or Parisian. Well, when the countries that have evolwad those nice towns were no older than. this country, they had not done somuth as we have that wouid stama examination, and so long as we learn wise lessons it must cestainly be to our credit to ‘‘take our own wherever ve find it.’’ With the multiplication of the very rich amd the very poor in this coun- try, snobbishness thrives, and so insidi- ously that most of us are givon to asking

ancestors isin danger of being forever frowned upon, what with the increase of our prosperity and the shortening of our memories. And so it is an excellent thing for us to have writ Jarge on our ablets the fact that the milliner may be a gentlewoman, that the milkman may be a poet, and the shoemaker one of the closest students of Browning. Is he a dentist or a duke? ‘.s she a teacher or a traveling saleswoman ? It doesn’t matter, unless we need the pr ecise services of one or the other. Are th ey successes or fail- res, considered from: the standard of living factors in their generation, either humble or influential, according to their talents? ‘TThere’s the test.

SOME SIGNSIOF APPROACHING AGE.

How a Man Showed that He Was Growing Old without Knowing It,

A man, apparently past middle life whose hair was tinged with gray and no ticeably thin on top, sat near meata thea- ter. As the curtain rose for the first time, aspectacled man of about the same age entered and occupied the vacant seat be. tween us. He looked at the other fixedly The look was exchanged, aud in a second each had the other cordially by the hand The conversation told me that they had been schoolmates who had not met in many years.

“By Jove, Charlie!” exclaimed the first, ‘it does me good to see you. You haven’t changed much more than I have, and Iam not a day older than when we got our diplomas.”

“Iean’t quite agree with you, Tom,” answered the other, ‘‘ but I don’t feel very old yet. Isee you still enjoy the theatre. and expect you have kept up your literary tastes for the past thirty years.”

“Thirty years!” repeated Tom. “How the years fly! Do you remember how they used to drag? Theaters! Well, I do gc now and then, but the plays and acting are not what they used to be. As to books, Istill read them, but none of the modern trash. There hasn’t been a good book written fora quarter of acentury. The new ones give me the dyspepsia worse than whatIeat. Do you remember the meals we had on the old Vermont farm } Those were happy days. Thirty years and more ago! Strange; but I don’t showa sign of age. I wonder where this con- founded draught is coming from. I feel neuralgia ontop of my head now.”

* Tom, old boy,” replied the other, “you are deceiving yourself, for you have shown marked signs of approaching age within three minutes. Your belief that theaters and actors have degenerated, that new books are below the standard, that child. hood’s cooking was perfection, and that time flies so very fast, are all indications that you are on the down hill side of life. The slight draught that you say brings a tinge of neuralgia to the top of your head, where, I notice, the hair is rather thin, wouldn’t have been thought of thirty years ago. Then here you are in the very front seats of atheater. No use denying the signs, Tom. We are getting along and must admit what others plainly see.’

IT’S A WONDER.

A Table That Will Do Nearly Everything But Lay Eggs and Broil Beefsteak fo1 Dinner.

Consul Monaghan, of Chemnitz, Ger- many, reports the introduction into that market of a pew table:

““I¢ may first of all be used as a din- ing table, or as a salon table, After dinner the cover may be swung back and one has a billiard table; open a little door at ohe end and a small bowling alley, fully equipped, is at hand; pull again and a bagatelle, tivoli and ten-pin board appear; pull again on all sides and ends, and tables for writing and drawing te the number of six arein sight. Then there dte drawers for bails, pins, knives, forks—in fact, everything that one may wish to put under lock and key, I car conceive of nothing better calculated tc keep boys in their own homes evenings than this table. Itis a source of con stant comfort and enjoyment. Of course its cost here is hardly to be taken as a basis for calculation in the United States; still, considering the cheapness of wood with us and the greater producing capac- ity of men and machines, I see no reason why such a table should not be produced in our country just as cheaply as in this. In large cities, where rents are high and tenements are limited to very few rooms, it would prove of great value.”

The Hidden Future.

‘‘Sometimes, as we have climbed to an Alpine summit, the gaunt black rocks have risen around us from an ocean sur- face of fleecy clouds, which have, so to speak, washed up against them, fillicg the whole intermediate valley. The ham- Jet where we were to spend tho night, and the road to it, were alike hidden. So the future is hidden from our view, and

ISS HOLLIDAY AFTERNOON NAP,

By HOWARD FIELDING,

Copyréght. 1895, (Coneluded.)

ane young man looked disconsolately down upon the ground. He had first ex- tended his hand toward me and had with- drawn it.

‘“This thing had to come out,’’ he said. “I’ve tried to cover it up as much as I ceuld, but it was no use. You might as well know the truth.’’

‘Speak!’ I cried.

“Why, you see, about two years ago, when I lost all my money, I was ina desperate fix. I had hoped to live with- out work and that hope failed me. I got into sad straits, and at last—of course you’ll regard this as confidential ?’’

“*Confidential !’’

“Well, it's known to a few. Kvery time a thing of this kind happens to me somebody has to be let in.”’

*“Look here, Preble,’’ I exclaimed, ‘‘I’m altogether too nervous to stand this strain

THE SEARCH FOR THE BULLET.

any longer. Since yesterday I’ve been suspected of murder by half a dozen peo- ple, and have convicted, in my own mind, half a dozen others intown. I convicted you, when I saw you with De- tective Kelly. But of course when I stand here face to face with you, I know it can’t be true. Yet you have some part in the shameful secret, as you have confessed tome. What is it? Don’t keep me in suspense !”’

A sickly smile distorted Preble’s hand- some face.

“Tam a detective in the pay of the New York police department,’’ he said. ‘*I’m here professionally. ’’

He shuddered at the thought.

“‘Tt’s a little different from the old times,’’ he continued. ‘I’m heartily ashamed of it, my boy, but it can’t be helped now. There’s little to choose be- tween detective and criminal in my opinion. The criminal inflicts an injury on society, and the cetective inflicts an injury onthe criminal; and the best defence that the detective can make is the old school-boy claim: ‘The other fellow began it.’ Why can’t we all let one an- other alone?’’

I was leaning upon the railing of the verandah and laughing weakly, almost hysterically. To see Preble out of that scrape was too much happiness for me. Little I cared about his profession. I thought it as good as most others and much better than the law. But I knew him well enough to be sure thgt what- ever profession he had chosen would im- mediately seem to him the most disgrace- ful and unbecoming that men’s needs had ever produced. |

**We wired to New York for #man,’’ said Kelly, ‘‘and Byrnes sent ‘up Mr. Preble. Between us I guess we can sift this matter down. Would you like to look at the body, Mr. Preble?’’

** Not yet,’’ he replied. ‘‘Let us havea look at the room.”’

Capt. Marshall joined us while we were busy there. Preble was examining the bullet hole in the desk and in the wal). He enlarged the latter until he could see through it, and then he looked out, fo}- iowing with his eye as nearly as possible the direction of the ball.

‘“There’s a chance that we can find it.’’ he said, and led the way to the grounds at the rear of the house.

Fifty yards back we came to a large tree, and in its rough bark, near the ground, ‘after most careful’ searching, Preble found a bullet hole. Five minutes

later he held in his hand the leaden mis- sile that had killed Gen. Holliday.

‘‘Capt. Marshall,’’ he said, ‘‘you, as an expert, will be able to tell us what sort of weapon carries such a bullet.’’

‘*You know already,’’ replied the cap- tain, with a sort of gasp. ‘‘I can cee that in your face. It is the bullet which the rifle I am testing carries. There is no other like it.’’

I looked anxiously at Preble, and saw, to my surprise, that he was not regard- ing Marshall. He was looking over the captain’s head.

I turned and saw a man running through the grounds. He was bent double, and seemed to fancy himself to be shielded by some low shrubbery. I recognized Hanley, the butler.

‘‘You'd better go after him, Kelly,”’ said Preble, and Kelly obeyed, exhibiting a surprising swiftness of foot.

He overtook Hanley before he had reached the road which bounds the estate upon the south; and ina few minutes the trembling servant stood before Preble. The detective nodded to Kelly, who in- stantly began to search Hanley. In one of his pockets was a package of twelve one-hundred-dollar bills.

‘*Now, let’s have your story without a moment's delay,’’ said Preble, sternly.

‘‘I swear to you, sir,’’ replied the but- ler, solemnly, ‘‘that I had po hand is the death. I robbed him, but I did not kill him. It was this way: I went in to the Long Room to speak tohim. Miss Margaret was asleep on the couch. The general also seemed to be asleep with his head on his desk. And right there in plain sight was all that money.

“I’ve been hard pressed, sir, of late,

There’s been some as bad as me ata dis- advantage and have used their power. It’s their fault, sir, that I took the money. I’m no thief at heart. I did it in sheer nervousness, at the sight of what I needed so much.

“The general never stirred. He was dead then, sir, I’ve nodoubt, but I didn’t know it. I got away with the money and hid itin my room. Then when the murder was discovered I was near frozen with horror. I would have restored the money, but there’s been nochance. Some- body has been in that room all the time. So this morning, when I learned that one of the servants had seen me go into that room, and had told on me, I resolved te run forit. That’s the whole truth, sir, and I’m glad to have it off my mind.’’

**T believe you, my man,”’ said Preble. “It’s never a good thing in this world to be too smart, and it’s your good for- tune that you’re not nearly smart enough to have committed this crime, supposing that it is a crime at all.’’

He directed Kelly to keep an eye on Hianiey and then we all went into the Long Room. We found Margaret and Dr. Hilton there. Margaret greeted Preble with great cordiality. She said that she felt much relieved at having his advice and aid, for she had always thought him to be gifted with an exceptionally clear mind.

“If my present theory of this terrible mystery proves to be correct,’’ said Preble, **I think we shall all feel greatly relieved. It ie only a theory at pregent, and the basis is no more than this."’

He opened his hand and showed a splinter of wood about an inch and a half long. For my part I had no idea of its bearing upon the case. The others seem- ed equally at a loss.

“IT found this on the floorat that end of the room,’’ he said, pointing away from the general's desk. ‘‘It was knocked off the inside of the wall by the bullet which killed your father. It surprises me, gentlemen, that when you had found where the bullet went out you should not have looked for the place where it came i"

‘But, Preble,’’ I exclaimed, ‘‘you are

fired through that wall and across the whole length of this room?’

‘‘And a mile of open country besides,’’ said Preble, calmly, ‘‘if my theory is true. Capt. Marshall, will you tell me whether I am correct in saying that a line drawn from the spot where Gen. Holliday was struck down and extended through the wail one foot to the left of that win- dow would pass close to your labo: on the other side of the valley?’

Marshall's forehead was wet with pers- piration.

“It is true,’’ he said, in a low voice, “I am afraid that your theory is right.”’

*“You mean,’’ I cried, ‘‘that the acct- dental discharge of a rifle which was ee isresponsible for this terrible

must have been accidental, for the dis- tance and the impossibility of seeing into this room preclude the possibilit? of in- tent. I can see no other explanation. However, we need not be long in doubt. If Capt. Marshall will accompany me to the spot we can learn whether there was am accidental discharge of a rifle at the hour named.

““I may add,’’ he continued, ‘‘that the whole aspect of this case indicates the work of chance. It had not from the first the appearance cf human device. The absolutely impartial bearing of the facts, whéch implicated equally every per- son who could have been physically present, showed a broader grasp of detail than any 1 can claim. The minor crime of Hanley strikes in discordantly with the rest. You can readily see the difference between design and fate which can have no purpose. This terrible event is the forerunner of many which will follow upon this new @velopment of modern arms. And the tragedies will not all be accidents. If a murderer can by repeated trials at last strike down his victim at the distance of more than 2 mile, he will be less often restrained by mere coPardice.’’

He bade us good-by and went away with Marshall and Kelly. In an hour we received a telephone message from the last named, that Preble’s theory had been

Tallest Structures in the Worra,

The tallest chimney was bulit at Port: Dundas, Glasgow, 1857 to 1859, for F. Townsend. It is the highest chimney iz the world (454 feet), and one of the loft iest masonry structures in existence, Ii is, independent of its size, one of the best specimens of substantial, well-made brick- work in existence. In Europe there ars only two church steeplesthat exceed thie structure in height, namely, that of the Cologne cathedral (510 feet) and that of the strasbarg cathedral (468). The great Pyramid of Tizeh was originally 480 feet, although not so high at present. Th¢ United States outtops all these with ite Washington monument, 550 feet high, and the tower of the Philadelphia public buildings, which ie 537 feet high. Tha Eiffel tower at Paris, France, surpasses al! other terrestrial metal structures with Its altitude of nearly 1,000 fect. The “great tower’’ for London,in course of construo- tion from designs of Mr. Henry Davey, C. E., will outtop all metal structures, being built of steel, and its extreme height will be 1,250 feet when finished. The bighest and most remarkable meta] chimney in the world is erected at the Imperial foundry at Halsbrucke, near Freiberg, in Saxony. The height of thie structure is 452.6 feet, and 15.74 feet in internal diameter and is situated on the right bank of Mulde, a3 an elevation of

219 feet above that of the foundry works, -

sO that Ite total height above the sea ts no less than 711.75 feet. The works are situated on the left bank of the river, and the furnace gases are conveyed across the river to the chimney on a bridge through a pipe 3,237%¢ feet in length.

The highest office building in the world is the Manhattan Life Insurance Company of New York City, its height abuve the parapet is 347 feet, and its foundations go down 53 feet below the same, being 29 feet below the tide water level, making a total of 4U0 feet.

Beauty Variously Jungea.

The natives of Tasmania consider a tattooed face not only an ornament, but a requirement of common decency, and the Capuans hesitate to let a girl of genteel parentage appear in public before they have knocked a couple of her front teeth out. The dandies of the same island twist their hair into horn- like protuberances and enlarge their ears by means of heavy medal rings. Th: Botocudos of Brazil pierce the cartilage at the base of the nose, but their neighbors, the Guaranis, geo farther and split the whole upper lip, exposing the front teeth in a sort of perpetual grin that is esteemed the acme of personal elegance. The Zam- besi Caffirs try to turn their lips inte projecting snouts, and it fails to cure their infatuat'on to call their attention to the bestial suggestiveness of the de- formity. Sir Samuel Barker informs us that they consider the male of the dogfaced baboon a paragon of manly beauty—-inferior only to the proboscis nosed elephant. The Dyaks, too, ad- mire the long nasal appendage of the Kahan monkey ; but the Chinese go to the other extremes and compare the long noses of the Caucssian intruders to the bills of vultures and similar birds of ill omen.
