HARMON'l CURTIS.
Everybody said there was not a
finer character picture on the even-
ing of the tableau entertainment
than Harmon Curtis appeared.
"So handsome" ho was, and "so
manly," and "so self possessed,"
and "face and form fitted the stylish
drers so well." These were some
of the things the ladies said about
him. He certainly did "do" the
tableau remarkably Weil. He had
his great dog perfectly under his
control, and his broad low cap,
planed a trifle to one side, seemed
eomeway to fit his handsome face.
When he shaded his eyes with his
hands And looked into the distance
with that earnest, watchful, half -
sad look it was hard to believe he
was not the real character ho was
representing.
"Marmon ie a splendid fellow for
historic tableaux," the manager of
the entertainment said. "He is so
sympathetic he can enter into the
spirit of the scene to an unusual
degree for one so young. Then he
is very gentlemanly and obliging;
it seems to be a pleasure to him to
be courteous." On every hand
wore the praises of Harmon Ourtis
sung, until it seemed to me hie
mother must be a very happy
womou.
The next afternoon I called upon
leer. Harmon was seated at the
piano. He arose courteously on
my entrance and bowed e but he
resumed his seat at ouce, and ran
his fingers ever the keys, in a sort
of undertone accompaniment to our
conversation. It was not pleasant,
and hie mother looked troubled. At
last, "Harmon, I think I wouldn't
play now,"
"All right, mamma," he said, and
kept Inc seat. Two, three, perhaps
five minutes paesed, during which
time the piano had broken out sev-
eral time ; never loudly, but with
that muffled underiond. Then his
mother,
"Bannon, you forget."
"Oh, yes 1 I beg your pardon."
Two minutes o
u more, the
"Harmon, please don't play."
"Certainly not, mamma ; I for
got."
This time he arose and changed
hie seat.
I was relieved, for hie mother's
sake.
"It was on Tueeday afternoon,"
began Itfre. Curtis; then Harmon,
"0, mamma 1 I beg your pardon ;
you moan Wednesday afternoon."
"No, I think not; I think it was
on Tuesday."
"0, no, mamma 1 I assure yen it
was on Wednesday."
"Well, never mind it; it really
iuukee no differeneo which day it
wife. I remember It was about
three o'clock."
"My dear mamma, I beg your
pardon, hat it must have been later
than that, for you know I was at
home, and I do not reach house un•
til tour o'clock on. Wednesdays,,,

A detailed analysis of upwards of
six thoueaud oases of scarlet fever
showed that the liability to the
disease was slight in infancy, reach
od its maximum in the fourth or
fifth year, and diminished every
year afterward. So far as severity
of attack was concerned, however,
it was greater during the first two
years and lessened year by year
thereafter.

The average life of the city horse

the enormous number of horses

It is better to taro the fall apples

apples possess some value as food
