THE BOMB.
BY YIOTOKIEN SAIlIIOtJ.
Have I ever done anything worthy of
praise? Yes, I am vain enough to be
proud of nn incident which occurred
during the siege of Paris.
I leg the reader not to be alarmed.
1 will not conduct him to the ramparts,
nor to the outposts, but simply to Tre¬
viso street, and to the house of mv old
friend, Dutailly, the husband of an ex¬
cellent wife, the father of a charming
daughter, a successful manufacturer,
sjiglitly cra^y on the subject- of poli¬
ties, btT, take him all in all, one of the
best fellows in the world.
Although surprised by tlie invest¬
ment of Pa is, Mrs. Dutailly, wise
woman that she was, had busied hot self
to provision tlie house, where she had
collect! d such an abundance of food
that if the siege had continued three
months longer, tho family would not
have suffered from hunger. Liberal also
to the needy, the Dutaillys were greatly
beloved in that quarter of tlie city; es¬
pecially by myself, because I was wel¬
comed to a place at their table every
evening, where 1 was ablo to make up
for the privations of tho day. Who
would not have rejoiced, in those days
of scarcity, at tlie sight of an omelet
and other good things, washed down
with excellent wine?
I was not the only guest received at
this hospitable, table. Young Anatole
Brtebant, superintendent of tho factory,
had a place by my side, Re was a
clever fellow, melancholy, delicate,some¬
what timid, and greatly in love with
his employer’s daughter. Miss Gertrude,
who did not seem indiffer nt to his at
tentions. Although no formal engage¬
ment had been contracted, the union of
tlie live young people was it thing tacit
ly agreed upon by tho parents, but un¬
fortunately the war ha l adjourned tho
t flicial ratification. Brlebant, corporal
iu the Volunteers of the Seine, per
formed his military duties faithfully,
but without enthusiasm, cursing the
lengthy duration of tho siege which dc
layed liis happiness, and cursing the
military operations quietly, ai was his
manner, but not without bitterness.
These criticisms did not fail to irri
ta'e Dutailly, who was a strong par¬
tisan of Gen. Trochu, and things were
still further aggravated by another
cause. Tho Times published at that
period a series of articles wherein the
author described the military operations
iu tho provinces, according to his wild
imagination, Dutailly took the e
dreams seriously, and predicted decisive
victories in n. short time; the incredu¬
lous liriebant risked a timid objection;
Dulailly became exci.od and angry, and
accuse 1 Ins superintendent of prevent¬
ing the realization of these victories.
Tiio presence of another guest still
further complicate the sitv.ation. One
evening I was surprised to *ee my place
at f right of Mrs. Dutailly occu¬
pied by an individual wlao v as red-faced,
noisy and boastful. lie wore captain’s
shoulder-straps on a fantastical coat,
which looked at if it might have been
picked from the discarded clothing’ of
some theatre, and had on immense boots,
after the manner of theatrical hero.
Dutaillv introduced him to me as
Captain Robillard, commanding the Lost
Children ot Courbevoie.
11 :fore the conclusion of the first
course 1 had made up my mind about
Roubillnrd, and was sure that liis mili¬
tary exploits consisted in removing
furniture from deserted houses in the
suburbs, f r fear that it might tempt the
cupidity ot the enemy, and depositing
it in safe places, unknown to the owners.
I wondered with dismay how the heavy
n:ffiau "'..s invite 1 to gnaw our part of
the cheese; but Mrs. Dutailly presently
gave me un explanaf ion, not without
emotion. She had l>een out walking
late in the afternoon, and had fallen,
hurting hersf if considerably and being
stunned for a moment. Robillard, who
was passing, had aided her to return
home, and, in recognition of his kind¬
ness, she could not do less than in¬
vite her savior to dinner. This cxpla
nation reassured me, and I hoped that
my firs; sight of the hero would also be
the last. lie said that the war had
brought him back to Puis, whose safetv
required his presence. As to his prow
css iu the suburbs, at the head of the
Lost Children, you can readily conceive
that it passed at. belief, • The enemy
cou'd not stand for a minute. * * *
With 5)00 but k- Lke mine, all the in¬
vaders would lie s-.vept awa.-,” etc.,
etc. Mr. Dulailly listened complacently
to the eno :".i:i -s. and Dutailly himself
was a m: ready to believe them. As
for the p > r little corporal of volun¬
teers, he seemed to be crushed by the
presence of this big fellow.
I ex< s d myself and left the house
immediately after diuner to escape the
blunter of this Gascon, to whom, as I
supposed, I bade an eternal adieu; but
;n thU I was greatly miatak'^ ~ ' the,.
following Sunday I fouud him in the
same place, then on Thursday, and
finally a plate was set for him at all our
Tfae head3 q{ tha hou8ehold
were fascinated, Robillard had cap
tured Mrs. Dutailly by his jovial humor
and Mr. Dutailly by the interest which
he seemed to display in the military
operations as conducted b/ the T.met.
Anatole lost ground visibly at each
meal in proportion as the captain grew
in favor.
Anatole’s discredit was especially
marked alter the Bourget engagemerft
where the poor lad had fought bravely,
and whence he had returned to us
wounded in the arm. He described the
attack, the retreat and all tho principal
details of this heroic combat with so
much discouragement that the captain
was ready to treat him as a deserter and
coward. With what noble indignation
did Robillard prove that if the Lost
Children had been there the result
would have been very different. There¬
upon, becoming excited, he sketched
for our edification a plan of advance—
passage through Oise, march through
Rouen and triumphal arrival at Havre—
which filled Dutailly with enthusiasm.
Meanwhile the despise 1 Anatole suffered
greatly from the still bleeding wound.
Next day Anatole had the fever and
was confined to his bed, and was absent
from our daily repasts for several weeks
On tlie evening of liis return to the
house, convalescent and leaner than
ever, Mist Gertrude had red eyes, and
it was evident to me that there ha l Keen
during the day some skirmish between
her and iter mother, who was nnro in
fatuated than ever with Robillard.
believed that it was time to intervene in
the interest of thoe poor children. ]t
happened that this day war tho last
Sunday of the year, and naturally we
talked of tlie New Year, which we in
tended to celebrate as joyously as possi¬
ble. Suddenly the captain said;
“By Jove! dear Ain. Dutailly, I must
give you a surprise for a present.”
This gave me the idea of preparing
my own little surprise.
On New Year’s Day Dutailly was ra¬
diant and received us with open arms.
The strategist of the Times had just an¬
nihilated the army of Prince Charles on
the* outskirts of Evreux, and Dutailly
offered this pleasing intelligence for our
present. Anatole brought a hare,
trapped in the devastated Islan 1 of
Srint Denis. As for the captain, he
-presented to Mrs. Dutailly a large bag
of sugare 1 chestnuts in a German hem
let.
“Dear madam,” said he, with a
smile, “I could easily have given you
this heinlct with tho owner’s head
therein.”
“What!” cried Airs. Dutailly, filled
with admiration, “did you kill him?”
“Certainly I did. beauteous lady, that
I mi'ht offer you this bonbonniere, and
I venture to say that everybody could
not iiave accomplished the deed.”
I spare you the recital of tho adven¬
ture, not a ilotnil of which was omitted
by the romancer you may be sure. Care
fully concealed, he had tracked, sur
prisc.l and thrown the owner of tho hel -
met, an advtnced sentinel, whom he
had strangled so as not to attract the
attention o£ the enemy by firing liis re¬
volver! Oh, how small did the hare,
strangled also, look beside this glorious
trophy.
“As for me,” said I, “I would not
ventuje to emulate the valor of the cap¬
tain but I also have my little surprise.
It has not yet arrived, and wo might as
well go to dinner without waiting for
it.”
AVe sat down to table, and the meal
was very gay. We were taking our
coffee when a servant told us that a gun¬
ner had just placed my present in the
parlor. We went there and found up¬
on the table an object wrapped in glazed
paper and tied with blue ribbon.
“What can that be?” said Mrs.
Dutailly.
“You would never guess, dear
madam, but it is a bomb.”
“A bomb!’’
“Dutailly lias often told mo that he
would like to have a bomb, and a real
one—‘one which has seen service’—and
my friend Loland, who commands a
battery, lias sent mo this, which comes
from the plains of Avrou, where it failed
to explode in striking.”
As 1 spoke I untied tho ribbon, tore
off the paper, and the bomb was dis¬
closed—black, sinUtcr and threatening.
“By Jove!” said Dutailly, “you de¬
light me. I will hang it up in my
cabinet of curiosities.”
“But,” objected Mrs. Dutailly if it
did not explode—”
“O, have no fear. It was agreed
that Loland would have the charge
drawn before sending it to me. Be¬
sides, here is a letter of explanation.”
I opened a note which was stuck to
the side of the bomb and prepared to
read it aloud; but at the first lino my
face must have expressed surprise, fol¬
lowed by dismay, for every holy cried
out at once:
“AYhat is the matter with you?”
“My gracious I The matter! Listen,”
and I read:
“My Dear Friend—Here is the bomb
for which you asked me. But I could
not find a gunner here who knew how
to draw the load. Send it to tlie gun
smith in Opera Lane, who is accustomed
to this kind of work. You must be
very careful with it; don’t let it hit any¬
thing and handle it very cautiously.
R member, that the least shock would
make the lomb expLode.”—
I was interrupted by cries of fear.
“Take it away!” screamed Mrs. Du¬
tailly; “it is frightful! A loaded bomb
in my parlor! ’
“Nonsense,” said I, extending my
hand. ‘ Be calm; there is no danger.
The gunner who brought it will take it
away.”
“But, sir,” said the servant, tremb¬
ling at the floor, “the gunner has
gone. ”
“Then,” said I, “I will” —
“I forbid you!” interrupted Dutailly.
“You are not strong enough to carry it.
You might drop it oa the stairs or iu
the halL”
Mrs. Dutailly clutchel mo.
“No, not you. It is too dangerous.
Not you.”
“This,” said Dutailly, “is a job for
a robust soldier. Fortunately the cup
tain is here.”
“I? ’ cried Rohitlurd.
“Why, yes, my dear fellow; you nra
as strong as a Turk, and you know how
to handle these things. You may play
with caanon balls and bombs as a schol¬
ar does with marble 3 and hand balls.”
“Excuse me, excuse me,” objecte \
the captain, who paled visibly; “you
know that—a bomb—. Thunder!
Couldn’t you wait until tomorrow, and
have it taken away by a guuner!"
But Mrs. Dulailly cried out:
1 ‘To-morrow! So that I shan’t closs
my eyes all night. 1 would rather go
to a hotel.”
Anatole said quietly:
“Y'ou need not leavo the houso,
madam; I will carry”—
Dutailly interrupted linn.
“You are mad, my boy. Convales¬
cent and with your wounded arm. Do
you want to blow up the home?"
“In truth,” said I, “this is not a job
for a sick man.”
“But for the captain,” continued
Dutailly. “I wouldn’t trust anybody
else. Come, captain, stir yourself, and
rid u 3 ol this confounded nuisance.”
Tho captain at this moment evidently
had a fit of indigestion. B it he was
not a man to be put out for little.
“Of course,” said he, smiling, “I am
the man to do this job. I was going to
remark when you interrupted mo that it
would he rather dangerous for a pedes¬
trian to carry tho bomb. The ground
' 3 slippery, and a false step might be
the means of killing a dozen people in
tlie street. The thing ought to be
transported in a carriage. Gen. Schmi'z,
who brought mo here, it dining at Bre
bint’s, and hi* carriage ti at the door of
the restaurant I will ask him to lend
it to me. lie is a particular friend of
mine. Tito thing is as good as done.
G.ve mo time to buckle my belt and go
there. I won’t be more than ten min
utes or a quarter of an hour at tho
most.”
“Ba quick,” said Mri. Dutailly, “I
won’t breathe until you return.”
“I will hurry, dear madam.”
Thus speaking, the captain took his

By the manner in which he went

I returned to the parlor, where con¬

divided between the desire to ruu away
and the fear of leaving the bomb un
guarded. I carelessly g ruiced into the
moonlit street.
“You ought to have let mo take it,”
murmured Ao*tole.
“Nonsense!” replied Dutailly, some¬
what surprised by the calm courage of
die young man. “It is much better for
tho captain to do it.”

“that lie won't keep us waiting lmg^f

“Certainly not. If ho had intended
to go to Brebaut’she w r ould have turned
to tire right, and he lias just turned to
the left, in something of a hurry, too.”
“Indeed! What does that mean?'’
“It means, my friends, that your cap¬
tain is a fraud, and 1 am glad that I
have dismounted the braggart’s guns by
the aid of thU machine.” And taxing
a photograph album, I struck a violent
blow upon the fuse of the bomb, which
burst into a thousand pieces—of choco¬
late. It was a chocolate bomb and
strewed upon the cirpet a charge of
eugsr plums, burnt almonds and pis¬

The Largest of Meteorites.
One of tho largest meteoritci which
has ever been seen to fall oa this earth
from outer space is temporarily in tho
collection of the American Museum of
Natural Ilntory at New York city. It
is a dark mats of iron and nickel, and
weighs 107 1-2 poun Is. In shape it is
irregular, approaching rouadnets sorne
what, like a lump of snow or clay which
had been grasped for the purpose of
moulding into a ba 1 . Toe same
idea is suggests 1 by the appearance of
the surface, which is pitted uii over
with indentations that look like tho
marks of the thumbs anl fingers of
of some huge being who hid moulded
the mass of liquid mr.al and Hung it at
some enemy in space. The meteorite,
with eighty-three other specimens, be¬
longs to George F. Kunz, tho mineral
expert of Tiffany who is now in Paris
with the Tiffany collection of gems at
the exposition. The collection of
meteorites, which he has offered to sell
to the Museum, is the largest private
Collection known, and has been picked
up, piece by piece, by Mr. Kunz from
different parts of the world.
The Johnson County meteorite, as tho
arge one is called, gets its name from
the place w ere it fell. Johnso. Crunty,
Ark., on March 27, 1886. Its decent
wa? seen or heard over an area of near
ly 10 ) miles and caused great alarm.
The loud report was followed by along
drawn hissing sound, and came ia the
middle of a pleasant afternoon, The
meteorite cut through the limbs of a
ta’.l pine tree within seventy-live yards
of the house of Christopher Shandy, on
the Arkansas R.rer. liis wtfe, who was
at home alone, saw tha limbs fall from
the tree and when her husband came
back in the evening he found the me
teorite ia the ground about three feet
below the surface. It was hot when
they dug it out. Iu a few days the ac¬
counts of it were spread over the coun
:ry and the meteorite was purchased and
exhibited ia different towns before it
was obtained by Mr. Kunz .—lore
Mcadow-Sweet.
The meadow-sweet was uplifting
Its plumelets of delicate hue;
The clouds were all dreamily drifting
Above the blue.
On the day when I broke from my tether.
And fled from square and from street;—
The day we went walking together
In the meadow, Swe -t.
The meadow, sv. et with its clover
And bright with its buttercups lay;
The swallows kept eddying over,
All flashing and gay.

In the meadow, Sweet.
Ah I the meadow Sweet! and tha sin ring
Of birds in the boughs overhead!

And tho words that you said
When—hold in the beautiful weather—
I laid my love at your fe it.

Syrup from Melons.
Colonel William Duncan of South
Carolina proposes that the surplus wa¬
termelons be converted into syrup.
Such a suggestion, says the New
Orleans Picayune , would be entirely ap¬
propriate in many ol the Southern
States, where the melons are abundant,
while tlie process of preparation would
be simple.
The Atlanta Constitution says:
“The idea was utilized during tho
war on more than one plantation i:i tho
South, and in Putnam county, at least,
watermelon syiup was no rarity.
Pioperly made, it is clearer than honey

too, that experiments carried on in a
more scientific way will result iu tho
granulation necessary to make sugir.

The World’s Wheat,
The earlier expectations regarding
the probable size of tlio domestic wheat
crops have been found to be too small,
and the total is now estimated at from
; 1 485,000,000 to 50:1,000,000 bushels. One
i journal which has given careful atten
i tion to tlie snb'eet believes that the
harvest will amount to 498,000,000
bushels (333,000,000 winter and 165,
000,000 415,868,000 spring wheat), ns compared and with with
bushels in 1887-’88
458,329,000 bushels in 1886-’87. If re¬
serve stocks of wheat in tho United
States are about 20,000,000 bushels
smaller than they were one year ago, as
has been estimated, and visible stocks
(as above) 13,000,000 bushels, less the
total di ficiency of about 30,000,000 or
j 33,000.000 bushels is as compared by than with
one year ago, offset here more
82,000,1)00 bushels iucri ased production.
The London Miller, after an elaborate
and not altogether satisfactory caleula
I tion, estimates that the "net export
surplus” of American wh at “for tlie
I new cereal year looks, therefore, like
i being 135,320,000 bushels, ns compared
; with 04,920,IKK)bushels,” which appears
I increased quite likely. A recent estimate of the
and of tho decreased quanti¬
ties of wheat grown this year, compared
with last, isns follows: Increase—l-nited
Slates. 82,000,000; Canada, 8,000,0)0;
England and France, 32,000,000, and in
Italy, Algeria, Spain, )0,000 Belgium, bushels; Holland, all and
32,0 in 154
000,000 bushels. Decreases—Russia,
72,000.000; Hungary, 36,000,000: Rou
mania, 8,000,000; Germany, 8,000,0.HI;
India, 18,000,! 0 1 , and Argentine Re¬
public, Australasia, and Chili, 24,000,
0CJ bushe’s, a total of 166,000,000
bushels. This, if verified, will point to
a decreased output of about 12 , 000,000
bushels iu the country named, which,
if true, should be construed, taking the
year through, in favor of the United
States, as thoy have grown over 80,000,
000 bushels more wheat than a year ago,
and at least 45,000,030 bushels more for
export, even after supplying all deficien¬
cies in tho reserves. As has been pointed
out, during July few important autumn
export «oo»trn -ts were negotiated.
Franco was satisfied with the situation,
Germany doubtful, Austi in- Hungary
more so, India shipments were light,
Russia did not ship freely, and tho
United States were enacting tho role of
Mieawber. Our export surplus is large,
and the 1’aoific States, ns iu the past,
are inu’ined to so’l freely. They are
satisfied to sell, and three months from |
now arrivals out of Pacific Coast wheat
may be fouud to have some influence on
the world's markets irrespective of tlie
price at New York or Chicago.—[lhad

Women Who Buy Men’s Hats.
“It is not perhaps just tho thing ir.
point of good manners and social eti¬
quette to allow a woman to wait while
you attend to the wants of a man,” said
a local hat dealer tlie other day. “ But
when a woman comes in to buy ft hat for
a child of one of the late ‘man’s st aw
hat fad ’ and a masculine comes in be¬
hind her wo always wait on him ti st.
Why? Well, for various reasons. The
man as a rule buys a hat costing him all
tho way from 83.25 to 85, while the
woman seldom wants more than $2 worth
of a hat. Then again it is easier and
more satisfactory to try to sell huts to a
dozen men than try to get a woman to
invest 81.75 in ft straw hat for herself
or 75 cents will in head-gear with for a child.

follows an animated disoussion, broken

molestation. They are crows, weather
flock into town as soon as cold
comts, stay during ilie winter, and van¬
ish in the spring. Collecting in small
groups, they alight here and there on
the tree tops and survey the back yards
and alleys until they can pick out forag¬
ing places. Then they descend, and in
short order the remains from breakfasts,
the scraps of meat form markets, and the
rats killed by household dogs and rats,
are gobbled up. Some crows do scav

A Stock Model.
A firm of enterprising bootmakers have
hit on a novelty in the advertising line |
which must possess irresistible attrnciion
for every genuine snob. They announce
“Ix-st boots and shoes at ready-money
prices, made on selected lasts of the fol¬
lowing gentlemen, perfect feet only hav¬
ing been chosen for stock models.”
Then follows a list of the owners of these
perfect feet in assorted gizes, including a
distinguished collection of eminent
names. This arrangement lias the dm.
ble advantage that any one going to this
establishment has .. chance of being
chosen as a stock model, and finding his
name enshrined on this roll of fame as
owner of a perfect pair of feet- Wacer

In the old mining days a child whs so
rare in Kin Francisco that once in a the
tcr, where a woman had taken her infant
when it began to cry, just as the orches¬
tra began to play, a man in the pit cried
out, ‘'Stop those fiddles and let the Itaby

years.” The audience applauded this
sentiment, the orchestra stopped and the
baby continued its performance amid
unbounded enthusiasm.
