Michel bowed humbly before his j
father, whom he regarded as nothin?, a su-;
perior being, since, out of
iromthe depths of poverty. Roch had I
raised himself to opulence. They
went forth together at dawn one Sun¬
day in spring. The clear sky hung
over all like a robe of innocence.
Fresh voices murmured in the solitude.
“We will not tro into the town,”
said the old man. “We shall not find
there what we want; the girls there :
are too fond of luxurv and amuse
ments. Let us try what we may see
in the villages. ”
Michel tired of these proceedings
after awhile. None of the girls
pleased him. He thought them all
too much dressed up an l too forward
in their bearing. The father grumbled
nt the young man’s ill humor and
exaction,
II.
On the further side of the menu
tain, on the border of a torrent and
shadowed by trees, stood a farmhouse,
poor and isolated, the only house to
which Michel sometimes paid a visit,
Its inhabitants were a man named
Bruno, taciturn,always at work, rusted
by the sun. The wife, Oympe, a dried
plant of the mountain, burned up like
a cinder, like her husband, forever at
work, sewing aud tending the flowers
and vegetables; then the daughter, a
tall, brown haired girl, sweet as the
grass about a spring, the pure and
caressing growth of the peace of the j
fields.
This was Justine, the sunshine of
the hearth, the pride of her parents.
For her sake Bruno put off his taci¬
turnity after the day’s work, and on
Sundays went to the town and to the
b tes, exhibiting his heiress dressed in
bright colored gowns, with gold chains
about her neck—the jewelry of a long
forgotten grandmother. Justine was
not yet twenty, and there had been no
thought of marrying her.
Miehel and Jnstiue had grown up
together on the same soil. They re
garded each other as if they had been
old people, talking and laughing to
gether without restraint, their con
versation always turning on the same

“Why not?” continued Bruno.
“We are fond of you, Michel. But it
was not for us to sav anything; your
father has rnouev.”
“Oh!”
This question of money shamed the
| young man.
“My father would have it so,” he
said, resolutely.
Jnstiue raised her eyes to him, took
! his hands between hers and extended
j them on the table. It seemed like an
j oath taken, and a bright vision passed
before all of them in silence. Justine
moved nearer to her lover, pressed
closely against him and encouraged
him to trust and to will.
He went away filled with regrets,
tormented by a remorse. All accom¬
panied him to the threshold, Bruno in
advance. Then, with a movement of
courage nu l will, Michel said to the
master of the farm:
“My father esteems you; he will
only do what I wish.”
*^ fl d he departed. Justine saw him
through the shadows mounting the
hill path. He walked quickly, agitat¬

Filled as die was with anxiety,
Michel kn«w not what to sav ; his heart
was overflowing with love and en

“You are an odd fellow, but well,
after all, whv should I not accept
Justine? I prefer people who have
surmounted privation an i poverty.”
And with a decided tone and gestura
he added: “Well, we’il see about it

fie scratched his forehead, dried his
eyes, big tears were running down his
cheekH.
“I’ll have it so—but on on) condi
tion. It’s a fancy of thine.”
Michel turned palo and his lips
quivered and he leaned back a little in
his chair, as if terrified by these
strange exuberances.
“What is this condition?
“You will marry—that is settled;
but I’ll not give yon the money till I
have a grandson—an heir to ray name.”
And he laughed boisterously. Michel
observed him dubiously,
“So be it, father—I accept !**
They struck hands on the bargain
made,
Three months afterward, Michel and
Justine were married and living at
Bruno’s farm by the torrent. Michel
still worked at his father’s vines, but
Justine never went beyond the iu
clo.sure. All were happy, The miser’s
fortuue slept tranquilly underground
in some unknown nook.
But near all this happiness aud hope
fulness death was keeping watch,
One evening the miser, while doing
something in the interior of his cot
tage, slipped, felled on his head and
expired. When he was found—the
next morning—his body was cold and
rigid. Naturally,the old man’s treasure
occurred to the minds of all—had he
been murdered by some robber ? Every
body on the farm, including Olympe,
set to searching the whole of Roch’s
land; but nothing was discovered,
The cottage, with its barred door,
would speedily have fallen into ruins
under the beating of the raiu; but
they kept it intact, as a sacred altar,
The spring arrived, and Jn-tine be*
camo a happy mother, With the
spring, tooj camo a long and heavy
downfall of rain. Michel, Bruno and
the women, who sometimes tremblingly
entered the dead man’s domain, went
to see what effect the deluge had had
upon the empty cottage. They opened
the door; a breath as from the tomb
exhaled from the deserted dwelling,
They sounded the walls; the rain had
eaten into them on every side—tue
shattered building of stones and reeds
was ready to fall at any moment,
Michel sadly and vaguely gazed on the
ruin.
But the clouds had passed to the far
V* Tv ' '• '*“•’

Then from the highest part of the
roof of the desolate cottage broken
tiles began to fall, and a shapeless
something was laid bare to the sun—a
coarse canvas bag, which moved and
burst—the miser’s treasure! The
peasants sprang back, aud pieces of
money, white aud yellow, poured
down in a torrent.
Ah!—old Roch might well have
laughed to himself! A 7 ainly the do¬
main might have been searched till
doomsday! Doubtless he met his
death in the act of forming that final
hiding place for his beloved treasure.
And still the shower of gold continued
—slowly now—now at intervals—now
drop by drop.
Michel collected the whole—thou¬
sand upon thousands of gold aud silver
pieces. Silently he and Bmuo heaped
the treasure upon a hand barrow, cov¬
ered it with a blouse, and wheeled it
to the farm through the livid half
light of the evening.
Nothing was said of the dead miser,
but thoughts of all turned to him—a
little more lovingly.
Their wealth was great enough for
them to have enjoyed ten years of lux¬
urious life in the great cities far
aw ay; but Michel and Justine, in
spite of their opulence, determined to
live on the farm, to change nothing ia
their way of life—iu the peace of their
love, and in the delight of dreaming
of amassing a great fortune for their
children. Who shall say what con¬
stitutes the summum bonutn of hu¬
man happiness.—The Strand Maga¬

Mud Baths.
“If the leaves of the trees are for
the healing of the nations the earth
from which they spring is just as
likely to possess medicinal proper¬
ties,” was the remark of a physician
who was famed for curing cases that
had defied the skill of his brother
practitioners.
“One of the worst cases I ever came
across was that of a man who had
contracted a disease akin to scurvy.
Nothing seemed to do him any good;
indeed, whatever he tried appeared to
aggravate rather than benefit his suf¬
ferings. At last discouraged aud not
a little exasperated, I sent him out to
a country place of mine, and from the
middle of a large tract of swamp land
just above tide water I had some barrels
of earth taken and stored in a con
vienent place at the house. Then I
prepared a bath-tub, put the man into
it, covered him to his chin with this
earth and turned on warm water until
the earth was of the consistency of
paste. He remained in this warm
poultice for about eight hours the
first day, and I increased the time un¬
til he was there at least half of the
time out of the twenty-four hours.
From being extremely nervous, irri¬
table and in pain all the time, he
gradually grew drowsy and quiet. A
strap was placed so that he could not
slip into the mud, and an attendant
kept a careful eye on him. At last he
slept almost without moving in this
soft mass. Later on we left him in
the bath most of the time, with oc¬
casional resting spells, when the earth
was removed amt he was thoroughly
bathed in castile soap and water.
Very little medicine was given him,
but he drank quantities of water and
milk. After the third week he began
to improve.-V- nd fi nally came out of
his eartny envWgfhient ha^pince uitnoai, a web
man, and altogeth^. recovered his
health
“I tried a similar experiment on a
baby that was born with a very serious
lipk. disease, and with the utmost
"benefit-.
“I fully believe that the day is com¬
ing when the mud bath will be one of
the regulation features of all hygienic
institutions and hospitals. One thing,
however, must be borne in mind: Tho
earth must be taken from some unfre¬
quented place, and a point where no
house drainage of any sort can touch
it. On the absolute purity of the
material depends the success of the
treatment.”—New York Ledger.
Figs in Pieaty.
“Figs are coming in freely,” said a
leading Italian fruit broker to a Tri¬
bune reporter recently, “and the mar¬
ket is rapidly getting overstocked.
They began to arrive from Smyrna
about two weeks ago, aud receipts are
steadily increasing. The first ship¬
ment that arrived was sold at from
eleven to sixteen cents a pound,
wholesale. Tho price is now from
eight to ten cents a pound. They will
continue to come in till February, and
before that time juices will fall off
from forty to fifty per cent. more. Tne
figs we are getting now are packed in
layers, in cases of 400 pounds each.
“About two weeks later figs will be
received from Naples in boxes and
baskets, holding from two to fifty
pounds each. The Neapolitan figs are
smaller than the Smyrnas and not so
nice looking, but they have a better
flavor. The first lot generally sells at
about ten cents a pound, and the late
arrivals at from 4^ to five cents a
pound. The fig crop is unusually
large this year, and imports will be
large and prices are sure to be very
low.
‘ Receipts of figs to date are 3500
cases of 4 )0 pounds eaea, and 6000
ba ° 3 of 100 P° unds ea -h. During the
! Corre 3p°nding period of last year the
receipts were only 500 boxes and 1800
bags, the smallness of shipments be¬
ing caused by a quarantine in Smyrna
on account of the prevalence of cholera
there. The total imports last year
were 14,000 cases and 2 j,0X) bags.
This year, on account of the big crop
and reduced duty, I think the imports
^‘! Tribune. be much heavier. ”-New Yuri!
