A SWISS LOVE STORY V BY ANNA riEKPONT SIVITEIS. >N a pretty chalet W that nestled high f against the shaggy breast of Mount Ob¬ gadin lived the widow Neur and her daughter Marie. iPiiiM A lonely home you would have thought Lothat it, but the fir trees I! wailed so in 3L.r -'Ullgood layout cheer ears whispered to Marie. When fierce winds I **7»r- came rushing down the mountain side, she knew the trees would bend their tall heads together and twine their strong arms around her home, until, robbed of liis victim, the baffled storm rushed by. When morning broke, the same friends stood erect and stately, drawing aside their leaves and branches, that the sunbeams might not linger in their soft embraces, but hasten down to awaken their favorite, Marie, j Very lovely was the little Swiss maid, with violet eyes that now danced and sparkled and then grew soft and tender as a little child’s. Two rose rod lips shut in her pearly teeth, and when she smiled a tiny dimple danced for a mi) ment on her peachy cheek. Her hair dung in caressing curls arouud her low white forchi ad, and fell in ripples of golden sunshine far below her slender waist. And her voice 1 Ah! that was Marie’s greatest charm. 8oft and clear, not a discordant note marred its sweet, pure harmony. Same-times as she sung at her evening devotions the herdsmen far below in the valley, catching faint notes of her song, looked up and crossed themselves, half believing they heard the echo of an ange’ choir. I But very few knew of Marie’s beauty. For when she went with her mother on one ot her rare visits to the hamlet be low, she brushed her wavy liair straight and smooth back from her forehj.jci. anu b raided it in long -ItKt plaits which fell -^itLXtnTIer back. I Her eyelids, with their curtains of long silky lashes, drooped over her dauc ing eyes until one looked in vain for a glimpse of their beauty. Her red lips shut firmly over her pearly teeth, while the dimple hid itself resolutely away from sight. And her sweet voice, frightened at its own sound so far from home, grew faint and husky, until, in this shrink ing, sober damsel, walking so timidly beside the Widow Neur, you would have found it hard to recognize the beautiful Marie of the mountain. | So it happened that only her mother and one other person knew how good and sweet and how fair Mauo was. l This other was a stranger who came from a far away country and spent his summers in a little house on the moun tain s very top. i T ho simple villagers called him “the wizard,” aud told strange tales of how he spent whole nights gazing at the heavens through a long tube; that he could foretell to an hour when the suu would cover itself with darkness; but, strangest of all, he had a little wire stretched for miles over hills aud valleys to the great city 1 This wiro talked to him in a queer language which no one elsi could understand. I “Vick, tick, tickety tick," it said, and it tola him things that happened miles and miles away. Marie did not know how wise the wizard was when he came to her home one morning and asked for a drink of water - : He followed her to the spriug when »he went for it and stopped by the way to break open a curious stone, lie showed Marie how queerly marked it was inside, and then tcld hcr a story about it.

His ©other often said, "My son, when wnt thou bring me home a daughter and thyself a wife?" And Gustavus, smiling aud and press ing a kiss on her forehead, would an nrert “When I find a maid as gool as thee. mother; but 1 want no idle, ahrill-voiced wife to disturb our quiet home. ’* But one day his mother said jnore sadly and seriously than ever before; “Gustavus, I aui growing old and feeble. I can no longer make and thy clothes and keep our home. Thou must have a wife. Fromise me at fete next week thou wilt choose one from among the maidens there.” Gustavus reluctantly gave her the de¬ sired promise, but it weighed heavily upon him. He could think of nothing else, and the more he pondered the heavier his heart grew. At last he seized his gun and went out on the mountain, but the perplexing questions followed him, until at last he threw himself on the ground groaning, “Oh, that some wise man would make this choice for me!” A moment after he looked up and saw, ns if in answer to his wish, the wizard approaching him. “Why,” ho exclaimed to himself, “did I not think of him before? Surely he, if Buy one, can Help me.” Then, with a throbbing heart, Gusfavas sprang up to meet him. The wizard greeted Gustavus warmly, for he felt a strong friendship for the young guide who had taken him safely through many a dangerous mountain excursion. And now his “Why, what’s troubling you, my boy?” opened the way for Gustavus to pour out all his perplexity, ending his recital with the question; “Uanst thou not help me choose a good wife who will make my life hap¬ py? For now I have given my mother my promise to find a wife at the fete next week.” The wizard smiled sympathetically, and then thought in silence a little while before he answered. “If a pure, true heart is united to a true, pure heart, both lives must be happy.” “Alas!” answered Gustavus, “but I know not which maiden among them all has the purest, truest heart!" “There will be one such heart at the fete,” answered the wizard, “but you may fail to recognize it. However, if you will come to me to-morrow I will give a charm that will show you this Here was comfort, indeed, and with a heart Gustavus thanked his friend bounded forward. Left alone, the wizard continued down mountain-side until he came in sight the Widow Neur’s chalet, where he found Marie sitting by the spring. In. of her usual sunshiny smile, tiny stood in her eyes, and there was a grieved look about her rosy lips that made him wish to comfort her, “What is the matter little one?” he asked gently. “Oh, sir,” she said, “I want to see the great fete next week, but I have no pretty ornaments to wear, and then—’’ The long curtains drooped over her shining eyes and the sweet voice sank almost to a whisper. “The good mother says none of the young men will cure to dance with me." “But why?” asked the wizard in sur¬ prise. “Because I cannot talk and laugh with them as other maidens do. My heart beats fast if they do but glance toward me, and 1 know not what to say, and so,”—hero a tear slipped from under the long eyelashes—“my mother says I had better not go._ - ---- “U.Tu'uige,' iittie one,” the wizard an. swered. “Tell your mother,” be added suddenly, “that I am going to lend you a silver belt to wear, and that my knowl edge tells me that the bravest, hand¬ somest youth iu all the land will dauce with you quite joyfully." The happy Marie thanked the wizard as Gustavus had done, and ran off to tell the wonderful news to her mother. E lily next morning Gustavus went for his charm. He tound the wizard waiting for him, and taking him into his strange room, the wise man said, smiling, as he had tne day before, half quizzically, half sympathetically: “Here’s the charm, my good fellow. You see it is a magic ring, Put it on before you go to the fete, and be sure dance with every maiden there. When you place your arm about the of the one whose heart is true aud a strange foeliug will run through OU y 0llr hand will cling to her. But must be sure that you dance with alii” Gustavus, greatly wondering, thanked wizard aud slipped on the ring, It was a curious circlet of irou, with a extension, which the wizard bade wear pointing toward bis palm, When the fete day came Gustavus was among the other young meu, eager try his cbariu. All the maidens of Obgadin were there also, and on the outskirts of one of the gay crowds little Marie hovered timidiy beside ber mother, “Why didst thou come, Marie?” asked one of the girls, “Didst thou think any youth would want to dance with a mouse to-day?” asked another. Then seeing the quick tears trembling on Marie’s lashes, she added more kind- “Ah, well, thou eanst at least see our times.” “What a lovely belt thou hast,Starie!” another maiden. “Where didst thou get it?” “The wizard gave it to her,” the Widow Neur auswered shortly, for she did not relish the girl’s tone, aud she dteW her da "? bter aw »y “Come, Marie, let us sit here under and ^tch the dance.” ,; ' ne nestled close to her mother’s 3,dc ’, a ' u ' aS ,he hours fled a “ d »» T°“‘b ber dance, her head dropped owcr ’ w °fl^ered if the wise “T raade »!“ isiake - ° *? eaa tim ® Gustavus danced L . *u ^ Q ® ‘’dter auother of the maids, but be watched with intense eager ? 1 ha - da r d 7 iththem all,” he said -h at last to himself, “except that’shy one over there: surely she is not the 1 girl!” He asked her name of one of the girls, and then going to her, said sim ply: '“Marie, wilt thou dance with me?” Astonishment and delight made Marie a moment forget her shyness. The wizard’s words had come true! Rising quickly, she said, beautiful smiling upon him, and showing her eyes already dancing with delight, and the dear little dimple in her cheek: “Art thou come!” “She is not so plain, after all," thought Gustavus, as be answered: “Wast thou looking for me, Marie?” Marie hung her head without answer . ing, aod Gustavus, wondering a little at ber word*, led her to the dance. As he piaeed his arm around her his band touched her shining belt. fnsrautiy a stradge thrill ran through •(hem both.and (Justavus’s arm seemed tc cling to Marie’s waist. “Marie, didst thou feel that?” he asked earnestly. And Marie smilingly answerers “Yes.” So they began dancing, and as they danced it seemed to those watching then: that a wonderful transformation cam< over Marie. Her hair, shaken loose from its long, stiff braids, hung like a glittering gol¬ den veil all around her, her beautiful eyes shone like stars, and the dimpled cheeks and pearly teeth formed a fit hid ing-place for the laughing voice that now aod then rang sweet and clear from he: rosy lips.

Long before the summer ended, Gus tavxs took home Maria to be his own and his mother’s greatest joy and hap¬ piness. Wizard returned to Paris When M. le that winter, he read a scientific paper before the savants of the Academy, In it he detailed many of his wonder¬ ful discoveries and hi3 work duriug the summer. But he did not speak of the most interesting of all—how, by the aid ol a little magnet, concealed in a steel belt, and a rude ring, he had brought together two loving human hearts, and by so doing had caught some of the happiness of Paradise and imprisoned it in a chalet on old Obgadin Mountain.—Pittsburg Bulletin. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. A door-closer is operated by gravity. A machine is made for grooving horse¬ shoes. Plowing by electricity is in contempla¬ tion for a large property in Spain. At the present time the average height of the tides the world over is only about three feet. An incorrodible metal, which is like¬ wise very hard, is made by amalgamating nickel with steel. A French chemist has succeeded in making imitation diamonds that cost more than the genuine. It is believed that diphtheria is some¬ times contracted by little children while playing near the sewers when the latter are open for repairs or other purposes. The u3e of minute quantities of chro¬ mium in steel to give it exceptional hard¬ ness was probably first carriod out on a commercial scale by Jpliua Bauer, of New York. The life of a locomotivp crank pin, which is almost the frSo thing about au engine Jo Near out, is 60,0110 miles, and c&e life of a thirty-three-inoh wheel is 66,733 miles. A California company makes a splendid article of toilet soap from the froth skimmed from a boiling compound. It is supposed to be a mixture of borax, alkali and mineral oil. At Baku, Russia, there is an immense oil well that “ebbs and flows” with the same regularity as do the ocean tides. It is believed to have some mysterious connection with the sea. The lower grade of molasses sells for such a poor price (two cents a gallon), that some of the Louisiana sugar houses use it for fuel. Several of the Cuban sugar houses thus use it. Sir John Lubbock, who probably knows more about bees than any other man in the world, living or dead, says that there is strong evidence that the queen bee has the power of control ing the sex of the egg. It appeals that a colored or dark pig¬ ment in the olfactory region is essential to perfect smell. In cases where ani¬ mals are pure white they are usually totally devoid of both smell and taste, and some, the white cat for instance, are almost invariably deaf. A Boston dentist advocated hypnotism as a local antithetic in a paper read be¬ fore the New England Dental Society and hypnotized a patient there and then as an object lesson in the practice, per¬ forming a dental cutting without elicit¬ ing from the patient any manifestation of feeling. The paper was unaccom¬ panied by drawings. The gall of a gall-fly produced on an oak attracts, states Dr. Rathay, by their viscid secretion, a number of small ants, which he believes to be advantageous to the tree in killing quantities of caterpil lars and other insects whioh are its natural enemies. He illustrates the value of this protection by the statement that the inhabitants of a single ant’s nest may destroy in a single day upward of 100,000 insects. It is found that masonry may be ren dered impervious to water, especially in positions exposed to direct contact to that element, by the application of coal tar.

PEARY’S EXPERIENCE, WHAT THE EXPLORER’S WIFE SAW IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. The Clothes She Wore on the Ex¬ pedition—The Home She Lived In and Food She Ate. -& JC RS. PEARY, wife of the I \ y/I /I Arctic explorer, has been in terviewed by a New York £ World reporter on her trip with her husband to the Far North. We quote from the interview as follows: “What did you take with you to wear on your expedition?” of 1 “All my old clothes, course. knew that I should never have such a good opportunity to get them worn out without any anxiety as to changing fashions. That applies only to gowns. My Arctic dres3 was odd enough. Lieutenant Peary, as you know, had been in Greenland before, and had a good idea of the needs of the climate. Nothing but fur will give sufficient pro¬ tection against the cold, and we did not make the mistake of having our fur gar¬ ments made up before leaving. In addi¬ tion to the discomfort of trying on furs in the spring, we knew that no furrier had sufficient disregard of appearance to make our outfit as we would order it. Instead we took on board well-cured deer skins, which I cut during the voy¬ age to the exact shape I wanted, Then when we reached Greenland, we hired the Eskimo women to sew the skins, which they do with great skill. I had an undergarment—a sort of divided skirt—made of deer skins with the fur inside. This I wore between my usual underwear and my dress, instead of extra skirts. Above the waist I had a hooded blouse of fur which I put on to go out in. I never knew what it was to suffer from cold throughout the journey.” “What kind of a house can one have when the material has to be taken so far and set up under such difficulties?” “It was a very good house, indeed, though it had only two rooms. In oue of these I had a carpet, heavy curtains, portieres and most of the comforts of a well-appointed home in lower latitudes. The other room, which was used for all sorts of household purposes, could not be made so pretty. We all lived to¬ gether in a sort of happy family. There were seven members of the expedition, none of whom were previously known to us, but we found them very pleasaut and harmonious. We had a colored boy, Matt, whom we took with us to do the cooking and other work. His first at¬ tempts at cookery were so bad that I as¬ sumed that duty myself for a few months, until he was trained into a very efficient servant. Lieutenant Peary sat at one end of the table and I at the other. We had a very jolly party throughout the long winter with its three months of un¬ broken night.” “What did you have to eat? I should think the fare would have been very limited?” “Not at all. We had just the same things that you were eatiug down here. Most of it came out of tiu cans, but that is a winter necessity everywhere. We had three kinds of vegetables every day at dinner and there was always plenty of fresh meat. It was no trouble to keep it in that latitude; all out-of-doors was one great refrigerator. When we wanted fresh water we went out to the nearest glacier and chopped off chunks with a hatchet till we had enough to melt for drinking and household purposes. Under these conditions a daily bath is labori¬ ous. It is small wonder that the natives never think of such a thing as washing, even their faces.” “Did you see very much of the native life, or were you away from even such primitive society as that?” “Oh, the Eskimos, or ‘Huskies,’ as we called them, were our chief source of entertainment all through the long winter. They came hundreds of miles on their sledges to see the white people and their wonderful house. In fact, we held one continuous reception. We could not have been gayer at home in Washington. We always offered re¬ freshments—coffee and biscuits—to new comers, but made no attempt after that to feed them, as our supplies would very soon have been exhausted. In return they did anything they could for us, aud if one was asked for some little favor, the rest all were very jealous. I could not entertain them, good natured and kind as they were, in my inner room, as all natives are fairly alive with vermin and must not be brought into contract with anything which cannot be scrubbed; but they swarmed into the outer room whenever we would allow it. They are very docile and could be sent away at any time like a flock of exceptionally good children.” “I suppose you were the first white woman most of them had ever seen.” “Yes, and on the whole they con¬ sidered me about the most curious pos¬ session the white man had. The Eskimo, like most other savages, devotes all his time to hunting, and lets his womeukind do the work. I have seen a whole party of them sit by and watch the women roll the heavy stones which fastem down the edges of the skin tent—the summer residence of the native Greenlander. As a great concession the man will occas¬ ionally hold the tent in position while his wife does the heavy work in securing- it. It amazed them to see me shoulder a gun and start out hunting with my husband, but not so much as to see him and the other men of the party carefully spare me from any extra-arduous task. ‘White woman very lazy,’ was the open¬ ly expressed verdict. This, however, did not prevent one prominent Eskimo citizen from proposing an exchange of wives with Lieutenant Peary. As an additional inducement to the trade he offered to throw in his two children.” “How do you know when spring has coine in such high latitudes? Is there an ? outward and visible sign besides perpetual day instead of perpetual night?” '‘The warmth of a Greenland spring . delicious.

One day you see an ice cov. ered space, the next day there is bare ground, and two days later you begin to see green. A week afterwards the whole place will be covered with bloom. There are poppies and daisies and buttercups, all very much like our own, but srndler. It is a mistake to suppose that Arctic summers are cold. The thermometei often gets up to ninety, and eighty de¬ grees is not exceptionally hot, evea in high attitudes.” WISE WORDS. Punctuality is the politeness of kings. What is the truest wealth? Health. All that is ftuman must retrograde if it does not advance. Nothing is more unjust or capricious than public opinion. To have a strong head is good, but it is bad to be headstrong. Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on one side. There is always room for a max of force, aud he makes room for many. Beware of sloth; for by sloth every energy is disorganized and destroyed. We learn to forget or to endure the faults of others by appreciating our owu. Pride is essential to a noble character, aud the love of praise is one of the civ¬ ilizing elements. At the present time friendship seems to be taken only in homce ipathic doses at the highest dilution. Beware of frivolity; for through frivolity reverence is effaced and sub¬ lime aspirations flattened into trifles. Man stabs htmseif with a trident of thought, and bleeds at once under the three prongs of past, present and future. Beware of a temper of hatred, scorn aud revenge; for that temper kindles a living hell in the breast which harbors it. He who thinks he can do anything, and never have it known, must fancy that the all-seeing Eye has winked itself out. ** Man sometimes appears to be so fool¬ ish as to imagine that he frees himself by engraving the word Liberty on his chains. Our estimate of a character always de¬ pends muca on the manner in which that character affects our own interests and passions. True popularity takes deep root and spreads itself wide, but the false falls away like blossoms, for nothing that ia false can be lasting. Beware of sensuality; for by sensual¬ ity imagination is defiled and the htguer part of our nature dragged down and en¬ slaved to the lower. To procrastinate seems inherent in man, for if you do to-day that you may enjoy to-morrow it is but deferring the enjoyment; so that to be idle or indus¬ trious, is but with a view of procrastin¬ ating the one or the other. Human Tre -s of India. The human trees of India, although not really trees at all, are at least inter¬ esting as a very clever manoeuvre. The Bheel robbers lurk in lonely places neat the mountains and jungles, and are very swilt and cunning in eluding capture. They are perfect pests iu India and a baud of them will often be pursued by mounted Englishmen. Tueir first attempt is to reach the jungle, the beginning of which has perhaps been cleared by fire, but there is no time to seek its sheltering depths, for their pursuers are close al hand. Fortunately for the robbers, some wrecks of small burned trees are also at hand, and taking off what little clothing they wear, they scatter it around with their stolen goods over the open space, and cover the low piles with their roand shields so that they look like mounds of earth. Then they pick up some black¬ ened tree branches, and get into very un¬ comfortable attitudes to resemble twisted truuks, keeping perfectly quiet, and greatly enjoying the surorise of their pursuers at their mysterious disappear¬ ance. When the coast is clear again they untwist themselves, gather up their possessions, and make off as fast as pos¬ sible. It is said that once, before the English had become used to these manoeuvres, au officer with a party of horse was chasing a small body of Bheel robbers, and was fast overtaking them. Suddenly the robbers ran behind a rook, or some ob¬ stacle, which hid them lor a moment, and when the soldiers came up the men had mysteriously disappeared. After an unavailing search, the officer ordered his men to dismount beside a clump of scorched and withered trees, and the day being very hot, lie took off his helmet and hung it on a branch by which he was standing. The branch in question turned out to be the leg of a Bheel, who burst into a scream of laughter, and flung the aston¬ ished officer to the ground. The clump of scorched trees suddenly became trans¬ formed into men; and the whole party dispersed in different directions before the Englishmen could recover from their surprise, carrying with them the officer’s helmet by way of trophy.—Harper’i Young People.
