The Governments of Sweden and Den
mark are considering plans for a railway
tunnel under the Sound between Copen
hagen, in Denmark, and Malmo, in Swe
den. The tunnel, as planned, is to have
n total length of seven and a half miles;
that is, two miloa between Antager and
the small islands of Saltholm and five and
a half miles between Saltholm and Mai
mo. The cost of construction is estimat
ed nt about $6,000,000.
Mr. Eugene G. Blackford, the New
York Commissioner of Fisheries, has
been investigating the condition of the
oyster, and his report contains much in
teresting information concerning that
bivalve. In 1800 the vast majority of
the oysters sold in the markets of this
country was from beds of oysters of nat
ural growth, while to-day sixty per cent,
of the annual product of oysters is from
planted beds. <if the 409,180 acres of
land available for oyster growing but
15,580 acres contain oysters of natural
growth in sufficient quantities to pay for
the costof gathering them. The natural
growth beds of Rhode Island and Con
necticut are practically extinct, and even
the great beds of Maryland and Virginia
are being rapidly exhausted.
An Internation Exhibition is Io be
held at Glasgow during the summer of
1888. The guarantee fund already ex
ceeds £240,000, and is being increased.
The objects of the Exhibition, as stated
in the prospectus, are “to promote and
foster industry, science and art by incit
ing the inventive genius of our pcipleto
still further {development in arts and
manufactures; and to stimulate com
mercial enterprise by inviting all na
tions to exhibit their products, both in
the raw and finished state.” Promises
of support have also been received from
America, India, the Canadian, Austra
lian, Cape mid other colonies. The site,
which has been granted by the Glasgow
corporation, extends to sixty acres, and
the buildings will cover about ten acres
The patent medicine trade is a great
mid growing one in England. During
the year 1886 £179,071 was paid by man
ufacturers of these articles to the Gov
ernment in the shape of stamp taxes. In
1865 the sum paid was only £55,333, and
jn 1875 it was £1 14,323. The quantity of
medicine plneed on the market in the
ten years 1875 85 did not increase so
largely as it did in the ten years from
186.) to 1875. The /•«// l/i// thuette
says that as the value of the stamp or
abel is one eighth of the total value of
the article stamped, an approximate esti
mate of the total value of the trade in
those goods is possible. On the basts
given the above journal says the expen
diture of the people for this clrss of medi
cine has increased in twenty one years
from £197,997 to £1,611,639.
New York’s aqueduct, which will prob
ably be- completed this year, is regarded
as one ot the greatest triumphs of mod
ern engineering. A few general figures,
says the New York Nwm, will give a
better concept ion of this work than now
obtains. The aqueduct is in reality a
continuous tunnel, thirty miles in extent,
with a sectional area of 155 J feet, or suf
ficicntly large to accommodate mi ordi
nary train of ears. R traverses a broken
country, now beneath lofty hills, again
crossing deep valleys; diving at time
under broad rivtrs; most of the way
cut in solid risk, its average depth be
neath the surface being about 150 feet.
Excepting when' it is carried under wa
tercourses, it maintains a perfectly regu
lar though slightly descending grade, and
yet will deliver its vast river of water at
the highest elevation on Manhattan Isl
and, thus giving a held for distribution
which will carry it to the tops of the loft
iest buildings. The present aqueduct has
a sectional area of but 53} feet, or but a
trifle more than one third of the new.
Thus the new will be capable of fur
nishing the city thn-c time- th.' volume
of water which the old aqueduct could
< envoy even when pressed to its utmost
capacity, as it lias been for evcr.il years
past, to the gn it anxiety of theeigi
peers and others concerned.
PARABLES.
Earth sings her parables of loss and gal
In boldest speech,
Yet heights sublime which spirits shall attain
Hhe cannot reach.
Aerial whispers float o’er land and sen,
“ It doth not yet app ear what we shall be.”
Her roynl purples and her crowns of gold,
Her white attire,
The sceptred lilies which her summers hold,
With flames afire
All fail to show the glory we shall see—
“ It doth not yet appear what we shall be,”
Who from unsightly bulb or slender root
I '-mid guess aright
Th- glory of the flower, the fern, the fruit,
In summer's height f
Through tremulous shadows voie. s call to me
“ It doth not yet appear what we shall lie.”
Triumphant guesses from fie s-er and sage
Through shadows dart,
And tend, meanings on the poet’s I‘ago
Console the heart
O songs prophetic! though so sweet are ye,
” It doth not yet apjiear what we shall bo,”
QUATREFOIL
Borne two or three years ago any one
passing through Fifty-ninth street about
nine o’clock on pleasant mornings might
have seen two girls on horseback, at
tended by a staid elderly groom, enter
the Eighth Avenue gate of Central Park,
and presently disappear under the leafy
archway which forms the entrance to the
Bridle Road.
These two girls were my cousin Leslie
Effingham mid myself, Louise Marie Ar
buthnot, usually known to all my inti
mates ns Lou Arbuthnot. Leslie was a
tall, slender girl with straight classical
features, nimble w hite complexion, ami a
perfect rope of hair, “yellow like ripe
corn.” On horseback, in her perfcctlv
fitting habit, absolutely moulded to her
figure, she was one continued sinuous,
graceful outline from head to foot.
Moreover, she was very clever, studious,
mid well-read, and had but one serious
fault in my eyes, that of being morbidly,
incurably shy, and especially with men.
One would have thought every man was
a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
In this respect, as in most others, I
was a perfect contrast to Leslie, as I was
short, plump, and rosy-cheked, with
curly brown hair, and 1 have been told
often hat the dimples round my mouth
and under my eyes arc— Hut there!
What is the use of repeating things?
At that linn' I had been advised to try
riding fur my health, and Leslie, who
always went out every day, had invited
me to accompany her regularly. To this
planl had hut one object ion thefaetthat
1 am, and always was, an arrant coward
on horseback.
Although by dint of Instruction I
learned to ride Well enough on a quiet
horse, and even to sit a plunge or two, I
was afraid all the time, and if the ani
mal is at all positive about having his
own way he is sure to get in with me.
To this day I prefer to ride a trotting
horse, because when a horse is trotting I
am sure he is not running away.
No words can tell how 1 hated and
feared my black pony .'sprite, mid well
did the little wretch know it. mid take
a (vantage of his power. Perhaps three
mornings out i f four he would go along
quietly enough, the fourth he would shy
at every baby wagon, cart, drain cover,
or bright pebble he could see, kick nt
imaginary Hies, squat like a rabbit if he
saw a bicycle, then leap up mid scuttle
inyay in the sane fat fashion. Worse
still, though he had absolutely no fear of
the elevated road, nt such times he would
not go under it. but turning short round
and rising placidly on his hind legs,
would give me the option of getting off
over his tail or surrendering nt discretion.
In vain did Leslie urge, scold, coax,
and ridicule mo; t le result was always
the same: her groom had to come up and
lead Sprite.
Leslie, who in the saddle knew no fear,
could nqt realize my timidity. Iler own
horse, n powerful hay thorough-bred,
seemed to me a perfect terror, liable as
he was at any moment to jump au un
known number of feet oil the ground,
lash out viciously while in the air, then
landing a dozen feet farther on,
canter away as quietly as before; hut
Leslie liked nothing better.
One morning late in April we rode up
to the <nd of Tenth avenue, mid turned
into a field to jump, while Leslie sent her
groom off on mt errand,saying that mean
time she would give Roushan Bey some
practice over n -tone wall. 1 jumped
Sprite over the low rail-fence that di
vided the field from the road, ami this
feat satisfied all my ambition iu that
line.
Leslie put Roushan Bey at the highest
part of the stone wall, which he cleared
grandly, but broke away on landing, and
Les could not at once pull him in. Sprite,
thinking himself deserted, rushed at the
wall, stopped short, then, rising on his
hind-legs, planted his forefeet on the top
stone, ami stood, calmly but firmly re
fusing to move. 1 sere lined to Leslie to
come back quick, while Sprite only
whisked his little docked tail, oockedhi's
ears, and actually wriggled with enjoy
ment of my dilemma.
At my call Leslie turned her horse
round to come to mv assistanee.but Rou
shan Bey, alarmed at the curious specta
cle, refused to come near me, tearing
angrily at each attempt Leslie made to
force him up.
At this moment I saw a horseman com
ing rapidly toward us, evidently intend
ing to jump. At my shriek he' cheeked
his horse, just glanced at Leslie, but see
ing that she needed no assistance, hedis
mounted. threw the reins on the neck of
his horse, and came toward me. I called
to him to “run. please." but he was too
good a horseman for that. Advancing
quickly, he made a slight detour, swing
ing himself lightly over ti e wall, ami
coming quietly upto me, slipped onearm
through the pony - bridle, and passing
the other round my w list, lifted me from
the saddle, and placed me gently on the
ground.
The next moment Master Sprite found
himself on his four feet, with a man
firmly seated on his back. Not liking
the change, the pony made a sudden at
tempt to k< k the new rider off; tint
failing.tried to get rid of him by turning
short round and plunging sideways, a
plan which proved equally unsuccessful.
Sprite was a p my of much sugar :ty, and
always, if he could, axoidedany pi rsonal
discomfort. He therefore I'-iqx-aretl to
snbmit, and even jumped the wall at the
signal, though the vicious kicks he gave
on landing were calculated to unseat any
one, unless like a Centaur he had lieen
indissolubly joined to his horse. I think
Sprite deeply regretted that piece of
treachery. The lesson he re -rived it did
me good to see, and when at length he
was allowed a pause to recover breath and
spirits, a meeker, sadder, more injured
looking pony it would have been hard to
find.
1 had long since recognized my cham
pion ns Mr. Walter Devereux, a class
mate of my elder brother Clarence,
though 1 had not seen him since class
day. when he beguiled me out of five
dames. I thanked him warmly, and
Leslie quietly, for his assistance, though
1 was still thoroughly scared at the ride
before me.
As Mr. Devereux talked he kept Sprite
moving up and down, and seemed to be
adjusting the saddle. Suddenly he lifted
it off the pony, and before I realized
what was going on he had his own saddle
on Sprite, and was buckling mine on his
horse,
“What are you going to do?” I asked,
hastily.
“With your permission, Miss Arbuth
not, I am going to put you on my mare,
and ride your pony back myself, - ’ was
the answer. “Pet Marjorie is a perfect
ly trained and steady animal, and just
now you are not in a condition to contend
with that wilful little pony of yours.”
Leslie looked very much as if she
would have liked to object, but did not
well know how to do so. Nothing could
be urged against Mr. Devereux except
her general aversion to men, and she was,
besides, I think, a good deal mortified at
having failed to get Roushan Bey up in
time.
Mr. Devereux was therefore permitted
to join us on our homeword ride. Sprite
was a marvel of propriety, t hough an oc
casional shy or swerve made me glad I
was not on his back.
Somehow after that it came about that
Mr. Devereux ofteu accompanied us on
our rides. 1 was more timid than ever,
and Mr. Devereux undertook to give
Sprite some much needed lessons irvsub
mission to his lot, begging me meantime
to keep Pet Marjorie exercised, as he
wanted his sister to ride her later on.
Once or twice Clarence went with us, but
he and Leslie never got on well together.
Les di<l not like chaff, and had no Small
talk; indeed, I am afraid she was often
bored by the incessant banter that Mr.
Devereux tliul I kept up; but then she
could always abstract herself, and find
sufficient company in Rousham Bey.
It was not long before I knew that
Walter Devereux was over head and
ears in love w ith me, while I —well, I did
not want to define to myself what I
thought about him. For the first time
in my life I was curiously, strangely shy
with a man. I did not want him to go
away, still less did I want to be forced to
any decision, for life was so bright and
happy just then I dreaded any change.
Though we met often elsew here, the rides
were best of all- trees, birds and squirrels
tell no tales.
One morning after a brisk canter up
the west tide of the reservoir, w e pulled
up nt the north end. and turned out on
the east drive, meeting face tn face a
horseman who was trotting leisurely
down the drive. “Walterl” “Marion!”
broke from the stranger and Mr. Deve
reux simultaneously, as the two men
clasped hands. Then, turning to us,
Walter Devereux asked permission to in
troduce his brother Marion.
Leslie, I could see, was utterly discon
certed, and instantly relapsed into one of
her most desperate fits of dumb shyness
—an infirmity w hich had been gradually
disappearing under the influence of
Walter Devereux's sunny, cordial man
ners and bright boyish ways. Neverthe
less she did her best, and after a few
words had passed we all continued up
the east drive, Leslie leading with Walter.
This arrangement did not altogether
please. Though Marion Devereux made
himself very agreeable, his big gray
horse, Vindi'X, was too frisky to suit me
aS a neighbor. As we were turning
around the north end of the park, Pet
Marjorie did something or other that
caused me to give a slight scream and
drop my whip. This brought Walter
back at once, and caused Vindex to
dance and prance in away that at once
excited Leslie's admiration, while the
abominable capers that Roushan Bey im
mediately proceeded to execute as evi
dently fillid Marion Devereux with re
spect and approval.
Walter found that I’et Mar jorie's girths
needed tightening, and I took the oppor
tunity to adjust my hair. Perhaps Walter
need not have spent so much time but
toning my gloves and arranging my
skirt, but men are silly creatures, the
w isest of them.
\\ hen we overtook Leslie and Marion
they were half-way up Seventh avenue,
walking their horses slowly forward and
chatting like old friends; and next
morning, when Waiter and Marion ap
peared together, there were no black
looks or freezing glances from Leslie—
quite the reverse. Once get a shy girl
started, and what a pice she will go!
In less than a fortnight Les and Marion
had neither eyes, ears, nor tongue for any
one but themselves. Shakespeare says
something about making a pair of stairs
to love iat least Mary Anderson says it,
if Shakespeare didn't), but what these
two made was a toboggan slide. If I
had acted so!
One day late in June we all met at the
riding school for the last time before
separating for the summer. This ride
we meant should be a long one, but the
day was very unpromising. It had
rained the whole night through, the
roads were very muddy, and the sky
anything but clear. Nevertheless, after
much discussion, and sitting around
the parlors, and going to the door to
look at the weather, “out " was the word,
and the horses, w hich had been saddled
and turned round since nine o'clock,
were ordered down.
A new delay ! Roushan Bey had rub
bed the buckle of his halter into his eye
during the night,-and could not be rid
den.
Leslie, always piompt, at once sent for
an old steeple-chaser belonging to her
uncle, Mr. Chiswick, which was kept at
a stable just aero— the street. He had
is ver been ridden by a lady, but this was
rather an attraction to Leslie; though,
after one look at the white gleam iu his
eye. I would have ordered i coffin and a
shroud - oner than mount <1 Quasimodo,
as the beast was called.
In no wise daunted by the fact that t£ie
horse kicked at her the moment he saw
the skirt, adroitly evading the kick, Les
signed to the groom to put his hand
over Quasimodo's near eye, stole quietly
up to the horse’s shoulder, and barely
touching the hand Marion Devereux of
fered, sprang lightly into the saddle.
Drawing the reins gently through her
fingers, she ordered the groom to back
the horse out into the street without
letting go his head. On the way to the
Park Quasimodo behaved well enough,
but the moment he felt the dirt road be
neath his feet he lashed with a violence
that made me turn faint,made a couple of
awful back jumps, and went up the
West Drive in a succession of mad
plunges, snatching angrily at the bridle
and taking every bit of rein. I saw
Leslie’s light figure braced well back,
yielding just enough at each plunge to
ease the jar of landing, I heard her clear
voice ring out: “Steady, boy! steady,
sir!” and Marion Devereux's “Well done!
well ridden!” when Walter,laying a hand
gently on my rein, checked Pet Majoric’s
forward start.
“Your cousin is all right,” he said.
“Do not follow her too closely; it would
only upset Pet Majorie and spoil Miss
Leslie’s pleasure by anxiety for you.”
In fact, some twenty minutes later,
xvhen we came up with the other two,
Quasimodo and Vindex w’ere calmly
walking side by side, rubbing noses, and
doubtless discussing the quantity of oats
and quality of hay as earnestly as their
riders were arguing the often-mooted
question as to whether Omar Khayyam
were Omar Khayyam, or if Omar Khayyam
were not Omar Khayyam, then who Omar
Khayyam could be.
No further pranks on the part of the
quadrupeds marred our long and delight
ful ride, until, as we were returning,
some one proposed that we should take
the hurdle four abreast. This was most
successfully accomplished, and after
jumping we halted under the bridge just
below to let Marion Devereux dismount
and take a stone out of his horse’s foot.
He was bending down, tints engaged,
when Walter cried out: “Take care.
Miss Elfigham!” Butina second, be
fore Leslie could gather up her reins or
use her whip, Quasimodo calmly lay
down on his left side, thereby allowing
Les time to twist herself from under be
fore he rolled over and over in the wettest
place he could find, smashing the saddle
to bits, and covering himself with mud
from head to foot.
Stately Les was a spectacle as she rose
from her undignified roll. Her shining
yellow hair was plastered with black
mud; hat, habit, and boots were one
mass of sticky wet clay, but her good
humor was unruffled, and she joined
heartily in the shouts of laughter which
greeted her as she rose.
Needless to say, Walter and Marion
both sprang at once to her assistance, but
beyond wringing out her hair and wiping
off the worst ot the soft mud, little could
be done. Such incidents as this never
troubled Leslie ; but when the saddle was
fonnd to be a hopeless wreck, the question
was how to get home. Leslie refused
point-blank to go up the foot-path and get
on an Eighth 'avenue car, saying he
would walk to the entrance of the park
and let the groom ride on and lead
Quasimodo back to his stable. Marion
Devereux at once proposed to put Leslie
on Vindex (she could ride quite well side
ways on a man's saddle) and walk by her.
To my surprise Leslie did not reject
this plan, nor when Walter suggested that
he and I should ride forward and send a
carriage and wraps to meet her at the
gate did Les raise any objection.
As it turned out, that carriage must
have waited along time. Perhaps Leslie
and Marion took the “long path” that
our Autocrat tells of—the path that it
takes a lifetime to follow to the end.
Certain it is that hours passed before
Leslie reached home, and it was not long
before the columns of the Gotham Chit-
Chat published as a social happening the
engagement of Miss Leslie Effingham to
Mr. Marion Devereux.
When, w here and how Walter and I ar
rived at a life understanding must ever
remain between ourselves. Suffice it to
say that this conclusion was not reached
until Walter had acknowledged that the
asking me to exercise Pet Marjorie was a
mere device, that ever since Class Day
he had wished to meet me again, and that
he had only deferred speaking so long
from the fear of losing the happiness of
seeing me every day.
Leslie’s ring was a sapphire set in a
gold four leaved clover, and mine a sol
taire set in the same way. We had a
double wedding, which many still remem
ber, but by those iu the secret it was
always called “the quatrefoil wedding.”

Doing Injustice to the Hen.
This little story Major Ben Butter
worth had from a worthy Scot: “I
visited our agricultural fair,” said he,
“and 1 was disappointed to find that the
premiums affered for the best horses
were so large as compared with the poul
try premiums. Well. I was called on for
a speech, you know, and I took advan
tage of it toeall attention to the matter.
I said: ‘Gentlemen, it seems to me that
your committee has made a mistake and
done an act of injustice to the hen. The
horse is a noble animal and is worthy of
any encouragement you feel able to give
him in the way of a premium. But,
gentlemen, you ought not to forget that
our exports of the products of the hen—
eggs—exceed in value the exports of
horses. Besides, gentlemen, your horses,
once exported, are gone. Not so with
the hen. She remains at home and keeps
right on doing business at the same old
stand.’ Well, you know, that speech
made such an impression that the com
mittee determined to give the hen a bet
ter show hereafter.”—ATetr I’ori Tribune.
A Chilli’s Life Saved By a Horse.
At Higgins's L ike. Roscommon Coun
ty. Mich., recently Mrs. Charles H. Pet
tit and her little daughter, aged three
years, were boating when the child fell
into the water. The mother, in her anx
iety and fright, upset the boat, and. as
they were alone, the chances were they
would both be drowned. Such would
have been the case had not their horse,
an intelligent French pony, which had
been turned loose to graze on the shore
of the lake, came to the rescue. It swam
out to them, and when they had taken
secure hold of its mane, struggled back
to shore, a tired but heroic pony. The
animal is inclined to be balky, and he
never would pull anything but a light
load, but he is a prime favorite now.
HYDROPHOBIA HORRORS.
The Case of the l.iltle Bor Who Recently
Died Floin the Diecaee.
Dr. E. M. Dupaquier, the physician
called by the family to attend Theodore
Englander, the boy who died of hydro
phobia at the hospital in New Orleans
on Sunday, gives the following statement
of the case.
I was called to see the boy on Sat
urday. As I entered the room I was
struck with the appearance of the child.
There was marked palor of face, exoph
thalmia. dilated pupils, and tremor of the
inferior lip with spasmodic respiration
every two minutes. Combined with these
symptoms I found that he complained of
pains in t e leg. I had seen many cases
of hydrophobia, especially in the hospi
tals of Paris, and at once concluded it
was a case of the disease. 1 inquired of
the parents if anything had happened to
the boy, and was told that he had been
bitten by a dog about ten weeks before,
had been treated by an old woman and
the wound had healed completely.
‘ I examined the scar on the left leg
and fonnd it about the size of a silver
dollar and of a dark blue color. I then
called for a glass of water and ap
proached the boy with it. He started
back in affright, and I was then satisfied
that the patient was afflicted with rabies
in an advanced state, and so announced.
The patient was very restless, and
although he showed no disposition to
bite, I regarded hint as dangerous and
advised that he be sent to the hospital,
where he could secure better attention
than at home, there being absolutely
nothing to be done for him in the way of
medical aid.
“At first the thought occurred to me
to send him to Dr. Mott, in New York,
in order that the Pasteur treatment might
be tried on him, but on reflection I con
cluded that it was too late, and this
view was confirmed after consulting with
other physicians When I returned later
in the day and found the boy so violent
that it was necessary to tie him to the
bed, I then insisted that he should be
sent to the hospital, and summoned the
ambulance He was taken there and
died in a few hours. The parents told i
me that the child was apparently well
until two days before, xvhen he began to
act queerly, and refused to eat, drink or
get up from bed the case rapidly made
manifesting the symptoms I have de
scribed The dog was killed imtned- :
iately after biting the child, and before
it was determined that the brute was '
afflicted with rabies-a most unfortun- j
ate circumstance, in my opinion.”
One of the Crowd.
He returned to Detroit from a trip to j
Europe Saturday night. When he
crossed the river and felt that he was
home once more he stepped high. lie i
expected a little crowd to meet him at '
the depot, and he was not disappointed, j
A score of people took him by the hand
and welcomed him home. One of the
seore did more than that. He drew the j
returned aside and said:
“So you have been to Europe?”
“Yes/'
“Gone ninety days, eh?”
“Yes, about ninety.”
“Have a good time?”
“Splendid!”
“Well, lam awful glad to see you
back. So you had a good time?”
“Indeed, sir, I did.”
“Glad to get home, I ’spose?”
“Yes.”
“Did they treat yon well over there?”
“Oh, certainly. Let’s see! You have
the advantage of me. What is your
name, please?”
“Aly name? Oh, Pm Green.”
“Green? Green?”
“Yes—used to run a feed store on
Michigan avenue, you know? You went
off owing me $1.65 for oats,but I haven’t
worried over it a bit. Just thought I’d
drop down and welcome you, and if you
had the change handy I’d receipt the
bill I”— Detroit Free Press.
A hanging scene was one of the
thrilling features of a drama at a the
atre in San Antonio, Tex., and a con
cealed rope placed around the body of
the man who acted the part of the vic
tim was to keep the strain off the noose
around his neck. The concealed rope
failed to connect the other night, and
the man, after a realistic hanging scene,
was cut down for dead, but by hard
work was restored to consciousness.

To the Public : The high character of th,,
testimonials produced by Mr. Dodge, together
with his well known reputation for truth and
veracity, afford convincing evidence of th?
high value of the Chicken Cholera Cure he pi
now offering upon the market. If I wcr< ch -
gaged in the business, I would procure a hot
tie of his medicine, little doubting the success
that would attend its administration.
Yours truly,
