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.” —Harper's B izeir. 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.
