SHE WON BEAUTIFULLY.
It Coat Him tha Better Part of * Cigar to
Learn Pollteneaa.
They boarded an east bound Market
•ttset car at Forty-first street. It was
after 1 o’clock in the morning, and be
wanted to smoke, having probably just
dined or supped at a ball which was be
ing given in tlw neighborhood. She
didn’t want to smoke and she didn’t
Want to be separated from him.
“Come on inside tbe car,’’ she plead
ed. '
“No, ” he answered. "1 am going to
smoke. Grfinside yourself, and when I
have finished my cigar I will join you.”
But this didn’t suit her.
“If you stay out here to smoke,” she
retorted, “I’ll stay right with you.”
He looked at her a moment, and then
evidently concluded that she was bluff
ing. Pulling out a big cigar, he lighted
it, and, settling himself comfortably
against the dashboard of the car, he be
gan to pull away as if his life depended
upon it. Nothing daunted, she took a
place alongside of him and calmly fold
ing her arms started up a lively con
versation.
The spectacle was an odd one, and at
tracted the attention of every passenger
in the car as well as of those who got
on. at various corners. He tried to urge
her inside the car a number of times,
but she refused to go. In this fashion
the two rode across the bridge and half
way to city hall before he weakened.
The anticipated jeers of the people he
knew would be on Market street in the
center of the city were too much for
him, and, throwing away the biggest
end of his cigar, he sullenly said,
“Well, if you won’t go inside without
me I suppose I’ll have to trot along. ”
Then he took a seat away up in the
front end, and she settled herself beside
him. Meanwhile tbe whole car smiled
audibly.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
WHAT IT COSTS TO SMOKE.
▲ Library Which Materialised From Ta
booed live Cent Clears.
“How can you afford all these books?”
asked a young man, calling upon a
friend. “I can’t seem to find spare
change for even the leading magazines. ”
“Oh, that library is only my ‘one
cigar a day, ’ ” was the reply.
"What do you mean,’’inquired the
visitor.
“Mean? Just this: When you advised
me to indulge in an occasional cigar
several years ago, I had been reading
about a young fellow who bought books
with money that others would have
burned in cigars, and I thought I would
try to do the same. You may remember
that I said I should allow myself one
cigar a day?”
“ Yes, I recall the conversation, but
don’t quite see the connection.”
“Well, I never smoked, but I pat by
the price of a 5 cent cigar every day,
and as the money accumulated I
bought books—the very books you see.”
“You don’t mean to say that your
books cost no more than that! Why,
there are dollars’ worth of them.”
“Yes, I know there are. I had six
years more of my apprenticeship to
serve when you advised me ‘to be a
man/,. I put by the money, which, at 5
cents a day, amounted to <18.25 a year,
or $109.50 in six years. I keep those
books by themselves as a result of my
apprenticeship cigar money, and if
you’d done as I did you would by this
time have saved many, many more dol
lars than I have and would have been
better off in health and self respect be
sides. ’ ’ —Success.
The Alpine Good Night.
Among the lofty mountain- and ele
vated valleys of Switzerland the Alpine
horn has another use besides that of
sounding tbe farfamed “Banz des
Vacbcs,” or cow song, and this is of a
very sol ;nn and impressive nature.
When the sun has set ih the valley
and the snowy summits of the moun
tains gleam with golden light, the herds
man who dwells upon the highest hab
itable spot takes his horn and pro
nounces cldkrly and loudly through it,
as through a speaking trumpet, “Praise
the Lord God. ” As soon as the sound is
heard by the neighboring herdsmen
they issue from their huts, take their
Alpine horns and repeat the same words.
This frequently lasts a quarter of an
hour, and the call resounds from all the
mountains and rocky cliffs around.
When silence again reigns, the herds
men kneel and pray with uncovered
heads. Meantime it has become quite
dark. “Goodnight!” at last calls the
highest herdsman through his horn.
The words resound from all the moun
tains, the horns of the herdsmen and
the cliffs, and the mountaineers theft re
tire to their dwellings.—Pittsburg Dis
patch. „ .
Thrifty George Corson.
The Hon. George Curzon, who mar
ried beautiful Miss Leiter, is decidedly
canny. He recently rented a country
mansion furnished, but without the
family plate, and so was compelled to
provide candlesticks for the house. He
tried to exact from tbe landlord’s agent
a pledge that at the expiration of tbe
lease he would take these candlesticks
off his hands at two-thirds of what they
cost. The agent demurred at first, but
when he discovered that they .Were 15
in number, of japanned tin and oost 40
cents each, he solemnly agreed to pay
|4 for tho lot when Curzon leaves.
Maternal Trials.
“Edie,” cried tbe mother from tbe
hall below, “what’s all that noise up
stairs? It’s shocking.”
“Oh, it’s these two dolls of mine,
mamma. I’m going to put them right
to bed and see if we can’t have a little
peace. ” —Detroit Free Press.
The principal varieties of the opal
are the precious (or noble), the girasol,
the cachelong, the hyalite, the hydro
phane, tbe asteria and a kind exhibiting
dendsitis markings, generally called the
moss. When the colors are broken into
small reasces. it is sometimes called the
tarlequin.

BIT OF HUMAN NATURE.
A. Ha«ty Concltaijon About a Woman Tltafc
Wm Changed later.
Two little girls occupied seats to
gether on an elevated train the other
night. Both v ere scantily dressed, hol
low eyed and hungry looking. They were
unmistakably of that class known as
“cashgirls” employed in the down
town department stores, for each ad
dressed the other by a number in lieu of
a name.
Directly opposite them sat a fashion
ably dressed woman who was accom
panied by a well groomed male escort.
Upon their entrance the conversation of
the little girls stopped abruptly and
there was something pitiful in tbe ear
nestness with which both watched every
move of the woman so stunningly
gowned. Two pairs of abnormally keen
though tired eyes thoroughly investi
gated every bit of finery in her apparel,
from the highest plume of her hat to
tho seft, natty shoes which incased her
shapely feet.
“Say, 76,” whispered the smaller of
the two girls, leaning toward her com
panion, “she’s a real lady, she is. You
can tell by her make up. Ain’t that a
beaut of a hat, though? And look at
that diamond breastpin! Whewi I’ll
bet that hat cost all of”—
“Sh I” interrupted 76 in an under
tone. “She’ll hear you.” There was a
spell of silence as both girls leaned back
with their heads resting against the
top of the seat. They were enjoying the
dazzling picture before them.
After glancing over a section of a
newspaper which the man had given
her the woman folded it up and handed
it back to him.
“Did you get the tickets?” she asked.
“Yes,’’was the answer in an indiffer
ent tone. - ■>
“Let me see them. ”
“'He extracted a small envelope from
his vest pocket and banded it to her.
“By the way, ” he remarked, “we will
have to go tonight. I couldn’t get good
seats for tomorrow, aud rather than
miss it I took these.”
“Tonight?” she repeated in a tone of
vexation. “You know well enough that
we can’t go tonight. We have another
engagement”—
“Which we can conveniently can
cel,” he interpolated.
“Indeed we will not,” she retorted,
with a determined stamp of her foot
A protracted argument followed
which was not too low for the cashgirls
to learn the drift
“You can go to Mrs. Brown’s alone,”
finally exclaimed the man, “and I will
take your mother to the theater! We
can call for you on our way home if
you insist on going.”
“You’ll not go to the theater with
anybody. You must and will go to
Mrs. Brown’s with me.” Thus assert
ing herself, she deliberately tore the en
velope containing the tickets in minute
parts and threw them on the floor.
They left the train at the next sta
tion, he with a disgusted look on his
face and she with head erect and a de
fiant glare in her bright eyes.
Scarcely had the rustle of her gar
ments ceased to be heard when 76 sage
ly observed: “You’re all off, 27. She
ain’t a real lady. It’s only her fine duds
what makes you think so. She’s only
an imitation, and no clerk would take
her to a window if she wanted to make
a sale.”—Boston Herald.
The Terrapin Knew Him.
When the lato Major Moses P. Handy
lived in Washington, he was frequently
attending dinners at Chamberlin’s. At
every dinner at all out of the ordinary
it was Chamberlin’s habit to pass
around the table alive the terrapin that
(it was assumed) the guests were to eat
later.
One night, as Major Handy told the
story, when 'the live terrapin were
brought in, as usual, he noticed, as he
thought, one of the terrapins wagging
his head at him. At tho next banquet
the same thing happened again, and at
the next one of the terrapin detached
himself from the rest and, crawling
across the table to the major’s plate,
rose on his hind legs, and, resting his
fore legs against a convenient tumbler,
he bowed £hree times, solemnly; but
courteously, to the astonished and awe
struck guest.
Upon investigation it was discovered
that the terrapin had seen the major so
frequently at Chamberlin’s festal board
that he recognized him as an old friend
and politely addressed him as such. Mr.
Chamberlin is said to have resented this
story as a reflection on the freshness of
his terrapin.—Kansas City Journal.
Two Capital Stories.
I pass into Arlington street, where
Sheridan, sickened with his losses at
play, kicked a man over who protested
that he was only tying his shoe. “D—n
you!” said Sheridan. “You are always
tying your shoe!” Horace Walpole calls
it the Ministerial street, where Pul
teney and Lady Mary Montagu lived
and on both sides of which Sir Robert
Walpole had a house, where in my
youth the Duke of Hamilton, with a
beauty like a god’s, was often to be
seen.
Turning into Piccadilly there is tbe
chariot of Lady Peel, who never missed
her daily drive with her daughter in
the park, and the yellow chariot of the
Duchess of Cleveland, with her two tall
footmen in breeches and silk stockings
and their long canes. She was a lady
with a philosophic turn of mind, for
when her husband died she asked a re
lative down to the funeral and told him
to bring his gun, adding, “We are old,
we must die, but the pheasants must be
shot”—Sir Algernon Nest in Nine
teenth Century.
A CompenaaUnr Condition.
“I deceived you about one thing,”
murmured the new wife to her hus
band. “I am older than I told you. ”
“Don’t mention it, my angel. I find
that your fortune is fully twice as large
as 1 bad supposed.”—Detroit Free

A FAMOUS SEA FIGHT.
ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN CHILEAN
AND PERUVIAN IRONCLADS.
The Dertrnetion of the Huaecar Off tho
Bolivian CoaM A TentMo Staraghtor
What a Fight Between Modern War Vee
•els Mean*.
In The Century Claude H. Wetmore
has an article on “A Famous Sea
Fight,” describing the engagement be
tween Chilean and Peruvian ironclads
off the coast of Bolivia in 187.9. Mr.
Wetmore says:
From the first of the battle the en
couraging voice of Grau had come to
the men in the turret through the speak
ing tube from tbe conning tower, but
when the Blanco crowded into the thick
of it and great shot struck the Huas
car’s sides as regularly as blow/ of a
battering ram the orders of the com
mander were no longer heard. The offi
cer in charge of the turret called to his
superior. There was no answer, and
When Commander Elias Aguerre ran up
the harrow little ladder that led to the
tower he stumbled over the dead body
of his admiral. A shell had struck the
conning tower and had taken off Grau’s
head as neatly as if the decapitation
had been by the guillotine. This shell
also killed Lieutenant Ferre, the ad
miral’s aid. There was only time to
push the corpses aside, and the new
commanding officer pulled back the
tube flap to give his directions, but as
he did so the Huascar staggered, keeled
over, then shook in every plate, while
a concussion more terrific than any so
far told that a shell had entered the
turret and had burst there. When the
fumes had cleared away so that a per
son could speak, a midshipman called
out that one of the great guns had been
dismounted and 20 men killed. The
survivors tumbled the bodies through
the hatch that opened into the deck be
low, thus releasing the clogged ma
chinery, and as the corpses rattled down
other men rushed up, throwing off their
clothing as they jumped into the pools
of blood to seize hold of the gear and
swing the remaining gun into position,
that it might train upon one of the
ships—they could no longer make out
which, nor did they care—and it was
discharged, hauled in, loaded and dis
charged again.
Once more all was silent in the con
ning tower. Lieutenant Palacios has
tened there, but before he could enter
he was compelled to push three bodies
out of the way. He had barely given
his first command when a bullet from
the well aimed rifle of a marine in an
enemy’s top lodged between his eyes.
Then the fourth to command the Huas
car that day, Lieutenant Pedro Garezon,
took the place, and as he did so he call
ed through an aperture telling the
quartermaster to put the helm to port;
for he had determined to ram one of the
adversaries and sink with her if neces
sary. Over and over spun the wheel,
but the Huascar’s head still pointed be
tween the Chileans.
“Port! Port, I say!” screamed the
commander.
“She won’t answer,” came back the
sullen reply from the only one of four
quartermasters alive. The bodies of the
others were lying upon the grating at
his feet.
“A shot has carried away the star
board steering gear, sir, ” reported an
ensign, and he dropped dead as the
words left his mouth.
The Huascar now lay drifting in a
hell of shot and flame, but all the while
the red, white and red fluttered from
the peak. One by one, in twos and in
threes, tbe men in the turret dropped
at their posts, and at last the remaining
great gun was silent, its tackle literally
choked with dead. The turret could not
be turned for the same reason. Corpses
hung over the military top; corpses
clogged the conning tower.
With coats and waistcoats off the sur
geons had been laboring in the ward
room upon the wounded, who, shriek
ing in their agony, had been tumbled
down the companionway like so much
butchered beef, for there was no time
to use stretchers or to carry q stricken
comrade to a doctor’s care. Steam and
smoke filtered through the doorways,
and the apartment became stifling.
While they were sawing, amputating
and bandaging a shell tore into the
wardroom, burst, and fragments wound
ed the assistant surgeons, the chief of
the medical staff having been killed
earlier in the conflict Those unfortu
nates who were stretched upon the ta
ble awating their turn under the knife
4nd those who lay upon the floor suffer
ed no more pain. They were killed as
they lay groaning. This shell tore away
wardroom and stern cabin, and hardly
a trace was left of the bulkhead. After
that what little surgery was done was
performed in the coal bunkers.
Huddled in a passageway near the
engine room were a score or more of non
combatants—stewards, pantrymen and
stokers. They were in a place that was
lighted only as flashes came from the
guns. It was filled with powder smoke,
and clouds of steam that drifted from
below told that the Huascar had been
struck in a vital spot—her machinery.
Suddenly they heard a crash, followed
by the rending of the-deok, and the lit
tle ironclad swayed as if she had struck
a rqef. Some one passed the word that
the m: intop mast had been shot away.
As it came down it brought living men
to be dashed to death, also corpses that
had been hanging over the side* of the
military top.
