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. J r 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.

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. r Account* Squared. Hicks-—I owe you an apology.
