''Put, if you won't trill: to me, I shan't ho able to make anything out of it, and 1 .:11.111't gut any in -in y,' said she, with a p It. I ielievo she know that she Was good looking. But had she been Venus her- self I should have pursued tliu siuue course. ''1 am ovcrwli •Imed with regret," I ob.lin'ved, stiffly. "It's very ill natured. of you," slid she. • "It's the ln.ircst s.'lf defense," said 1. 'Now, that tier skin?" shes sug- gested, insinuatingly. "I'm surd a tale 11'11114 to that 1" -Of course a tail hangs to it," I rd• plied, irritably. "Most tigers hiv,, tails. \1'h;tt are you tvrit1ig there, madame?" "Only that your couver=atiun abounds ill flashes of bright wit, Mr. Pottinger - really that's all." "Ail! OI1, Lord !" I gl'oaned. "I should have thought you'll hays liked it. you know. Must people do - especially when I do it. Now those Oriental vases? I suppose one of your ancestors brought them home from "Bought 'em of a Jew in White ;din pH,' "Ah, you pake about in old shops? . Flow interesting ! , You nlay often be 5.-e11, I expect, peering in at the-" "Never, madame." "OIi, what a love of a. cat ! IIe's your great companion and friend., isn't he? l'in sure he is !" "It's the landlady's, and I !:Tek the beast out whenever 1 see it." "Ali, perhaps you sutler from nerves?" Most poets do, of tours:. \-u'1 tnttst have perfect rest and quiet to-" "1•m 8s strong' as horst., thank you." "And you live quite at house in those lovely rooms?" 'When I can- command solitwle, madame, I enjoy it. "Oh, thank you so much! I'll just put that down.- It's 80 characteristic et genius, Isn't it? You love to ba alone it'itil your thoughts, don't you? I know the feeling su %yell." "Yott do not appear, however, to ap- preciate it in others." "Nut quit;; so fact, please ; I can't get it all down." Controlling myself with an effect, I said ill firm tones : "1 distinctly forbid you to put in a word about ale." "1)h, there'll be nothing you can pos- sibly object to, Mr. Pottinger -there won't, indeed. Do any of your family write poetry besides you?" "1)o any of your funnily besides you do interviewing. 1" 1 retorted. "It so, I should think you're an orphan." She laughed gleefuliy,and wrote heard for aminute ortwo. I've got that," she observed, cheerfully. "Now, is there anything' else that, you'd like to tell the public through no?" • I opened the door and stood with my hand on the knob. "About your hooks, for instance. How much you get for - "No, thank you," said I, with em- phasis. "Ur your favorite pursuits?" "Good morning," said I, opening the door wider. "Oh, good morning Mr. Pottinger. Oh, who's that over tete mautlepiece? What a sweet face ! I'm sure it must be -oh, a secret is it? Then I musn't ask, must I ? Ilow charmingly inter- esting, though ; I must just refer to it?" "lt' you do-" "Well, rood morning, Thunk you so very much I'it be sure and send you a paper." The above is a. full and true record of what passed. The following is an ex- tract from what was published: "Mr. Pottinger, when 11e is chez lui, dwells in the daiutests of apartments. At'a ;lance you can tell that you are in the sanctum ofa a skilled collector of objets d'art, and your host's deep blue eyes light up with a radiant gleam as he lovingly fondles his priceless Orien- tal pottery. The wall is decked with the skin of a tnagniflcient tiger (the Pottingers have always been mighty hunters, and Mr. Pottinger himself can handle a rifle as deftly as he can turn a sonnet). On the cushions of luxuri- ous sofa there reposes a splended Per- sian cat, evidently the companion,friend and pampered pet of its gifted toaster. Over the mantelpiece hangs the portrait of a beautifulirl, and it is easy to see that this exquisite gem is not the least 0 a,rL3+'i of Mr. Pottinger's treasures. Space ter. binds us to catalogue the thous- and and one cls1Ightt'ul ell ects which adorn this choice retreat, The tout en- semble is fragrant of lettered ease and wide culture. Nor is the genius loci one whit out of harmony with the surroundings which his match- less taste and untiring diligence in the search for curios have gathered to- gether from the four corners of the earth. Mr. Pottlner's slight figure tells, indeed, of a delicate physique ar,d of the sensitive, ever nervous teml,trh- ment always associated with supreme poetic gifts. But the brain of the man imparts boundless energy to its frail tenement; the soul looks out, alert, pas- sionate, indomitable, through the large eyes, now so strangely keen, now so in- effablp sympathetic. Sayings full of penetration, hints of overflowing sympa- thy with all the sorrows and tronhles which afflict the world, mingle and alter- nate with the most brilliant flashes of wit or the rapier thrusts of the most re- fined and courteous badinage. Mr. Pot- tinger's, indeed, is a personality which must be encountered to be appreciated, for, although he may be studied to some degree in his own priceless poems. yet the man himself seems something above and beyond even the finest of .his works -a presence, an influence, in a word, a soul, such as it is refreshing and inspir- ing to meet amid the grays and drabs of this prosaic age. Never shall we forget the precious hours which Mr. Pottinger so kindly spared to us, and we trust that we have not altogether failed to com- municate to our readers something of what we Were privileged to enjoy when Mr. Pottinger made us welcome to his home." This appeared one morning. In the afternoon I strolled, according to m,y custom, down to the club. A circle of men sat round a fire. No sooner had I entered (which I tried to do in an un- ostentatious manner) than I was greeted in this way : "Excuse my courteous badinage, Pot- tinger, but how's the frail tenement?" "Blue eyes oil' color a bit, eh, old man?" "Here, come and be ineffably sym- pathetic. I've come as awful `howler over the Jubilee." "I say Pot, old man, you must have made yourself dashed pleasant to the girl. 'What did you say, now?" "Out with it, Pot ! None of your in- fernal rapier thrusts. you know." "Take care, Tom, he's passionate and indomitable." "Who's the party over the mantel- piece? Oh, you old thief !" "Waiter, bring a cat for Mr. Pot - Linger. He wants a companion and friend." And then, from all of them, a low chorus, a subdued chant : "A Presence, an Influence, in a word, a Soul!" I suppose nothing can be done. -Black and White. THE BALLOON CACLE. A French Army Menne of Carrying War Dispatches. There floated over the hamlet of Ville. neuve-la-Garenne the other afternoon, in mid-air, a balloon. Suddenly it ap- peared to burst and fell rapidly toward the earth. Fearing that a disaster had occurred the terrified folk ran to the spot at which they expected the aerostat would reach the ground, when to their amazement they saw a parachute deta h itself from the car and descend gent!'. Immediately the earth was touch- ed one of the passengers jumped upon a small bicycle which ile had brought with him from the aerial regions. and he disappeared in the direction of Levallois, in the neigh- borhood of Paris, as rapidly as the ma- chine could carry him. The explana- tion of this singular occurrence is supple. The balloon was the Calihan, and he ascent was made from Levallois by Cap- tain Capazza and M. Hervien, the latter being the cyclist. Their object was to test the possibility of a balloon being used for carrying war despatches, and they assumed that an enemy succeeded in destroying' it. Yet they proved that by means of the parachute they would be able to make good their escape and to outdistance their pursuers with the aid of the portable hicycle.-London Telegraph.:. Decay In the Madeleine. Ile Madeleine in Paris is showing signs of decay. Parts of the Corinthian capitals of the western colonnade are crumbling away under the influence of frost and damp, and several large pieces of stone have fallen in the last few days. In order to prevent any danger of acci- dent, the architect has gives\ orders for the removal of all decaying portions of the capitals. The Bonnet of Leaves. Marie Stuart effects predominate in the bonnet array ; these have roomy crowns, and come well down on the ears. Iridescent crowns are extremely pretty, jet, gold beads, spangles, e tc., being employed in producing the desired effect. ThLse are especially designed for evening wear, although several street models are similarly made. Bon'. nets of colored felt for street wear will be trimmed with black wings, birds, aigrettes, etc. Has Control Over the Comte While prices may fluctuate, and the farmer lose a portion of his prospective profits, yet he has a control over the costs. By producing to the fullest cepa city of the soil the prospects will always be favorable to a fair profit. When in- ferior animals are kept and nothing is added to the soil to keep up 'its fertility, loss is sure to come at some time. Fumigate the Cellar. Before storing• articles in the cellar take a day for the purpose. use a peck or more of sulphur, if necessary, and fumigate it two or three times, in order to purify the walls, floors, ceilings and bins.

''Put, if you won't trill: to me, I shan't ho able to make anything out of it, and 1 .:11.111't gut any in -in y,' said she, with a p It. I ielievo she know that she Was good looking. But had she been Venus her- self I should have pursued tliu siuue course. ''1 am ovcrwli •Imed with regret," I ob.lin'ved, stiffly. "It's very ill natured. of you," slid she. • "It's the ln.ircst s.'lf defense," said 1. 'Now, that tier skin?" shes sug- gested, insinuatingly. "I'm surd a tale 11'11114 to that 1" -Of course a tail hangs to it," I rd• plied, irritably. "Most tigers hiv,, tails. \1'h;tt are you tvrit1ig there, madame?" "Only that your couver=atiun abounds ill flashes of bright wit, Mr. Pottinger - really that's all." "Ail! OI1, Lord !" I gl'oaned. "I should have thought you'll hays liked it. you know.

"It's the landlady's, and I !:Tek the beast out whenever 1 see it." "Ali, perhaps you sutler from nerves?"

I know the feeling su %yell." "Yott do not appear, however, to ap- preciate it in others." "Nut quit;; so fact, please ; I can't get it all down." Controlling myself with an effect, I said ill firm tones : "1 distinctly forbid you to put in a word about ale." "1)h, there'll be nothing you can pos- sibly object to, Mr. Pottinger -there won't, indeed. Do any of your family write poetry besides you?" "1)o any of your funnily besides you do interviewing. 1" 1 retorted. "It so, I should think you're an orphan." She laughed gleefuliy,and wrote heard for aminute ortwo. I've got that," she observed, cheerfully. "Now, is there anything' else that, you'd like to tell the public through no?" • I opened the door and stood with my hand on the knob. "About your hooks, for instance. How much you get for - "No, thank you," said I, with em- phasis. "Ur your favorite pursuits?" "Good morning," said I, opening the door wider. "Oh, good morning Mr. Pottinger. Oh, who's that over tete mautlepiece? What a sweet face ! I'm sure it must be -oh, a secret is it? Then I musn't ask, must I ? Ilow charmingly inter- esting, though ; I must just refer to it?" "lt' you do-" "Well, rood morning, Thunk you so very much I'it be sure and send you a paper." The above is a. full and true record of what passed. The following is an ex- tract from what was published: "Mr. Pottinger, when 11e is chez lui, dwells in the daiutests of apartments. At'a ;lance you can tell that you are in the sanctum ofa a skilled collector of objets d'art, and your host's deep blue eyes light up with a radiant gleam as he lovingly fondles his priceless Orien- tal pottery. The wall is decked with the skin of a tnagniflcient tiger (the Pottingers have always been mighty hunters, and Mr. Pottinger himself can handle a rifle as deftly as he can turn a sonnet). On the cushions of luxuri- ous sofa there reposes a splended Per- sian cat, evidently the companion,friend and pampered pet of its gifted toaster. Over the mantelpiece hangs the portrait of a beautifulirl, and it is easy to see that this exquisite gem is not the least 0 a,rL3+'i of Mr. Pottinger's treasures. Space ter. binds us to catalogue the thous- and and one cls1Ightt'ul ell ects which adorn this choice retreat, The tout en- semble is fragrant of lettered ease and wide culture. Nor is the genius loci one whit out of harmony with the surroundings which his match- less taste and untiring diligence in the search for curios have gathered to- gether from the four corners of the earth. Mr. Pottlner's slight figure tells, indeed, of a delicate physique ar,d of the sensitive, ever nervous teml,trh- ment always associated with supreme poetic gifts. But the brain of the man imparts boundless energy to its frail tenement; the soul looks out, alert, pas- sionate, indomitable, through the large eyes, now so strangely keen, now so in- effablp sympathetic. Sayings full of penetration, hints of overflowing sympa- thy with all the sorrows and tronhles which afflict the world, mingle and alter- nate with the most brilliant flashes of wit or the rapier thrusts of the most re- fined and courteous badinage. Mr. Pot- tinger's, indeed, is a personality which must be encountered to be appreciated, for, although he may be studied to some degree in his own priceless poems. yet the man himself seems something above and beyond even the finest of .his works -a presence, an influence, in a word, a soul, such as it is refreshing and inspir- ing to meet amid the grays and drabs of this prosaic age. Never shall we forget the precious hours which Mr. Pottinger so kindly spared to us, and we trust that we have not altogether failed to com- municate to our readers something of what we Were privileged to enjoy when Mr. Pottinger made us welcome to his home." This appeared one morning. In the afternoon I strolled, according to m,y custom, down to the club. A circle of men sat round a fire. No sooner had I entered (which I tried to do in an un- ostentatious manner) than I was greeted in this way : "Excuse my courteous badinage, Pot- tinger, but how's the frail tenement?" "Blue eyes oil' color a bit, eh, old man?" "Here, come and be ineffably sym- pathetic. I've come as awful `howler over the Jubilee." "I say Pot, old man, you must have made yourself dashed pleasant to the girl. 'What did you say, now?" "Out with it, Pot ! None of your in- fernal rapier thrusts. you know." "Take care, Tom, he's passionate and indomitable." "Who's the party over the mantel- piece? Oh, you old thief !" "Waiter, bring a cat for Mr. Pot - Linger. He wants a companion and friend." And then, from all of them, a low chorus, a subdued chant : "A Presence, an Influence, in a word, a Soul!" I suppose nothing can be done. -Black and White. THE BALLOON CACLE. A French Army Menne of Carrying War Dispatches. There floated over the hamlet of Ville. neuve-la-Garenne the other afternoon, in mid-air, a balloon. Suddenly it ap- peared to burst and fell rapidly toward the earth. Fearing that a disaster had occurred the terrified folk ran to the spot at which they expected the aerostat would reach the ground, when to their amazement they saw a parachute deta h itself from the car and descend gent!'. Immediately the earth was touch- ed one of the passengers jumped upon a small bicycle which ile had brought with him from the aerial regions. and he disappeared in the direction of Levallois, in the neigh- borhood of Paris, as rapidly as the ma- chine could carry him. The explana- tion of this singular occurrence is supple. The balloon was the Calihan, and he ascent was made from Levallois by Cap- tain Capazza and M. Hervien, the latter being the cyclist. Their object was to test the possibility of a balloon being used for carrying war despatches, and they assumed that an enemy succeeded in destroying' it. Yet they proved that by means of the parachute they would be able to make good their escape and to outdistance their pursuers with the aid of the portable hicycle.-London Telegraph.:. Decay In the Madeleine. Ile Madeleine in Paris is showing signs of decay. Parts of the Corinthian capitals of the western colonnade are crumbling away under the influence of frost and damp, and several large pieces of stone have fallen in the last few days. In order to prevent any danger of acci- dent, the architect has gives\ orders for the removal of all decaying portions of the capitals. The Bonnet of Leaves. Marie Stuart effects predominate in the bonnet array ; these have roomy crowns, and come well down on the ears. Iridescent crowns are extremely pretty, jet, gold beads, spangles, e tc., being employed in producing the desired effect. ThLse are especially designed for evening wear, although several street models are similarly made. Bon'. nets of colored felt for street wear will be trimmed with black wings, birds, aigrettes, etc. Has Control Over the Comte While prices may fluctuate, and the farmer lose a portion of his prospective profits, yet he has a control over the costs. By producing to the fullest cepa city of the soil the prospects will always be favorable to a fair profit. When in- ferior animals are kept and nothing is added to the soil to keep up 'its fertility, loss is sure to come at some time. Fumigate the Cellar. Before storing• articles in the cellar take a day for the purpose. use a peck or more of sulphur, if necessary, and fumigate it two or three times, in order to purify the walls, floors, ceilings and bins.

The station will be very much like the new one recently erected at Fargo. The total cost will be about $5,000. Here is a sample incident of street car travel, which occurred at London Saturday. Two ladies stopped a car and one got on. After the two had spent some time in bidding each other adieu. the second lady also boarded the c:tir, which had just got nicely started and proceeded about twenty feet, when she stopped the car to he transferred to another going the other way. It is such things its this that gives car drivers and occasional passengers "that tired feeling."
