THE STORY OF JACINTIIA Whore Is my diamond bracelet, Jacinths? I am positive I had It, with my other jewels on coming home from tlic. Wlllington ball, and now it Is missing." Tho speaker was a tall, command ing woman of SO, who was known In the fashionable circles of Carolyn as the charming Mrs. Kenneth, ”*5K)(1 charming she certainly was when exerting her elegant graecs In the gilded set, over which she lmd long reigned as the regnant star.

No high tragedy will answer your purpose. You will find that bruc-elot before this time to-morrow, or you will find yourself In Jail,” and with that Mrs. Kenneth swept wrathfully out of the apartment. Jaclntha was a brave girl, hut here was a thrust that cowed her in spite of herself. Sho was a shy little thing of only 17, possessing 11 re fined spirit that made her dread pul>- llclty of any kind, “and now—now,” she crieo In agony, falling upon her knees, and hiding her face in her hands, “I will be taken to jail—I will Ire taken to jail, am! what Judge or jury will take the word of a poor, weak, friendless girl In preference to that of the proud, wealthy, and powerful Mrs. Kenneth?

One of these misap prehensions to which wo may refer Is us to the injuriousness of taking fluid with meals. One frequently hears It laid down as a majtlm that “It is bad to drink with your meals, It dilutes the gastric juice,” By way of ex planation wo may remark, says tho Medical Press, that “It Implies that tho fluid takeu Is harmful.” Whenco this sagacious postulate originally caiuc we eunnut toll; It has quite the ring about it of an Inconsequent de duction formed by a porson whoso presumption of knowledge was only exceeded by a lamentable ignorance of the subject. Medical men often find much difficulty In dealing with t hose museum specimens ot antiquat ed science, for oven educated persons are disposed to cling to absurdities of their youth. Upon this matter Mr. Hutchison remarks In the last num ber of his Archives; *1 observe witli pleasure that the verdict of general experience and common sense lias been confirmed by scientific expert rnent in the matter -,pf taking fluid wit.li meals.

Matters began to look very bad for the prisoner at the bar, when Mr. Dalton rose to his feet, with a Jewel in his hand, and said: “Is this your bracelet, Mrs. Ken neth?" “Yes, sir." "Examino it very carefully.” went on tho lawyer, “for I want to make certain that you will claim It.” "O, It Is my bracelet, I know. The workmanship Is very peculiar. It was designed by my lato husband, and 1 would know it anywhere.” “This littlo pendant was designed by him, too, I presume," pointing to a small bejeweled charm, suspended to the bracelet. “Yes, sir.” “You are certain?” “G, very certain. I reruomber when he presented me with the brace let ho wanted to remove tho charm. Said It would be in my way, you know, but I protested, for I thought It. very pretty, even It it were a bit lueon venlent.” “Now, madam, let me have the jewel again, please,” remarked Dal ton, taking it In his hand. “Has this charm a secret spring?” “No, sir.” ‘You are mistaken, madam, replied Dalton, touching a secret spring that caused the charm to fly open. “Now, what was the Christian name of your husband?” “Charles.” “And your name before marriage? “Satterfield.” “Was your husband a widower when j you married him?” “No, sir—a bachelor.” “Is this his picture?”.—holding back the charm to Mrs. Kenneth. “Yes—yes.” “And the other picture. It is not yours?” “No!” Mrs. Kenneth seemed turned into stone. “And the inscription, from Charles Kenneth to his Beloved wife, Clara Searle Kenneth,” what is the mean ing of that. No answer. “You can take your seat madam.” Mrs. Kenneth sat staring straight before her, with both hands locked tightly across her heart. “Mad,” whispered one physician to another, “Yes, her mind has lost Us balance, for she realized all In one dread moment—realized that she had never been the wife ot the dead man whose name she bore. The trial went on and it was de veloped that the bracelet had been found in the possession of a common housebreaker, and Jaclntha was dis charged, the great crowd giving her cheer after cheer as sho passed out of the court-room in comnany with Boy Dai tou. “And now, little one, I have news for you,” said the young lawyer, and 1 m pu n 1 ty— Just as much' with meals as at other times." It would he dahgorous to erdato a general Impression that tho fluid Is good with food Irrespective of quantity.

A Raleigh special of Thursday says: Tho supreme court of the Umted States lias filed a decision of great importance to North Carolina. It affirms tho di oi- elon of tho state supremo court that twenty miles of tho main line of the Wilmington and Weldon railway aro lin- b!o to taxation ns are also 280 milgs of a branch. This road has never paid any tax, claiming exemption under a charter from the stale.

Thero aro due f. r fifty.yoars on a division of the mniu line and from five to thirty years on branches. Tho aggregate of these hack tuxes is at least a qunrter of a million dollars, and it may amount to » half million. ‘I was ergwin to leave yo’ house < he proceeded geutly to break the glad to moriymissus, buta few hours doau | tidings that her mother was living, make ho dlffunce to me.” The old woman bad reached the door as she spoke, aud turmng on the threshold she added: “Yo’ll wish yo’ hedn’t, missus et yo’ bawm one ha'r o’ dat chile’s head, min’ dat now!” As a usual thing, Mrs. Eenueth treated what she saw proper to call that she wus lu the city, thatshe was, In fact, at the Dalton residence, and thither they wept. With the meeting of the mother and daughter began the hap piest life they had ever known, and one that continues still. The mother was the wife of Chftrles The Caroline Tarrot, The parrot family is a largo one More than 400 species aro recognized —cockatoos, macaws, lories, parra keels, as well as the parrots proper being Included. Of this wholo number, only one species is found in tho United States—the Carolina sara- keet, or as it is often called, the Caro lina parrot. At onetime and another the Caro lina parrot lias been seen in more than twenty States of the Union, New York and Colorado being the northern and western limits of Its distribution, so fur as these have been made out. Its remarkable hardi ness, as compared witli parrots in general, is sufficiently evidenced by the appearance of a (lock in mid winter at Albany, New York. The birds were formerly abundant. Audubon speaks of them us covering stacks of grain till the stacks looked as if a brilliantly colored carpet had been thrown over them. Unhappily, the bird was destructive to grains and fruits, and was itself destroyed with out mercy by farmers. Audubon had seen several hundreds shot in a few | hours. Nearly sixty years ago the Carolina parrot was rapidly becoming l^ss nu merous, and now it is without quest ion fast approaching extinction. Ac cording to Mr E. M. Ilasbrouek, who has recently treated tho subject In the Auk, it appears to ho restricted l,o some of the least accessible parts of Florida, and perhaps to a part of Indian Territory. Now that it is almost Impossible to study its habits, it is found—as was the ease with the Labrador duck, re cently mentioned in thcCompanion— that there are many serious gaps in our knowledge of it. Wilson and Audubon described the birds us buildingnests in hollow trees. Later information, derived from men who aro not ornithologists, represents them as building in the branches of cypress trees—sometimes as many as forty and fifty nest being found in ono small tree. As Mr. Hasbrouck remarks, It seems bard to reconcile the two statements, but perhaps the parrakcet, like some owls, nests either in hollows or on branches, as circum stances favor. However destructive the parrakcet may once have been, it Is certalDly deplorable that so handsome and in teresting a bird, our only repre sentative of so interesting a family, should he persecuted to utter exter- mlnation.—Youth’s Companion “There! that explains where my clothes lines went to,” exclaimed an Iowa woman,as she found her husband hanging In the stable. linuo until soinuililiig tenial ancestor has raised ton children und lmd liy the crop, sho cun huvo eomo rest, and ought til have, but tlio old man must keep pegging anuy.
