The Terrible Thought in a Mother's Mind
Does Not Prevent Her Shopping.
Two women and a baby were the
dramatis person® of a typical feminine
episode the other afternoon. The mother
of the baby, Mrs. A., with her precious
charge, a hraty boy of thirteen months,
drove over to pay a visit to a friend in
Brooklyn who was staying with a resi-
dent of that city with whom Mrs. A.
was slightly acquainted. The friend
whom she hail come to see had just left
but the lady of the house pleasantly re- j
ceived her, and she remained for a little
chat.
Mention chanced to be made of hem-
stitched lied linen and Mrs. B. remarked
that a certain Brooklyn shop was offer-
ing wonderful bargains in that line,
whereupon Mrs. A. confessed her need
and desire for these articles, and in tha
I end carried off Mrs. B. in her carriage
[ to guide her to the desired shop. Ai-

| with the baby was finally solved by Mra.

melody with rapt attention. 1 glanced
around and noted that everybody was

that the music stirred him with unusual

"Where can Mrs. A. have gone?" sho
exclaimed in her dispair to the coach-
man when sho came out again.
"Sure," said that functionary stolidly
from the box, "it'll be in the fifth floor
she'll be by this time."
It waB nearly an hour later that Mrs.
A. appeared, excited and breathless, and
poor Mrs. B.'s arms ached, head ached
and temper ached sadly before that wel-
come moment arrived.
"Oh, did ho cry, bless his heart?" ex-
claimed the mother, seizing the baby.
"I was so afraid ho might, but 1 just
couldn't lose those wonderful bargains."
Mrs. B. deemed a reply useless and
only gasped in relief as she sank back ]
in the cushions. Tho cream of the aflaii ;
came, however, a moment afterward as i
they were rolling toward upper Brook- |
lyu again, tho baby gradually slacken j
ing his sobs under the soothing of his |
mother.
"And do you know," said Mrs. A., |
with only a half laugh, "I was pursued
from counter to counter with tho dread-
ful possibility that you might run oft ■
with Harold. One reads such shocking
things of babies being stolen, and you
know," apologetically, "young mothers
are so foolish."
At this Mrs. B. could not even gasp.— j

The Antiquity of lli« Organ.
The organ is the most magnificent and
comprehensive of all musical instru
ments. While the pipes of Pan--aside
from that mythical personage—indicate,
a very ancient use of pipes as a means ]
of producing musical sounds, the"watei 1
organ of the ancients" furnishes to the
student of organ history the first tan !
gible clew regarding the remote evolu |
tion of the instrument. In the second |
century the inagriplia, an organ of ten J
pipes with a crude keyboard, is said to
have existed, tint accounts of this instru
ment are involved in much obscurity.
demonstration of their owners' intense
appreciation of the brilliant musical
conception.
Yet what a mockery was this, comin;>
when the air was still impregnated with
the subtle melody. How that generous
tribute of approval grated on the ears!
The young man in front of me did not
applaud, nor did the pretty young lady
who was with him. Neither of them
spoke a word. Presently the young man
looked around at the demonstrative au-
dience with a iook of contempt on his
face.
When the house had again become
quiet the young man turned to the
young lady and said: "How charming!
how exquisite! What beautiful color ot
tone and how delicately shaded!"
"I am so glad yon like it, George,"
sho replied sweetly. "What a beautiful
pale bluo, indeed! My very ideal! 1
have had my eyes on it all evening."
"On what?" asked the young man in
surprise.
"Why, the charming dress of that
young lady in front of us. Is not that
what you mean?"
"Oh—yes—yes, of course."
Silence followed between these two
souls for the remainder of the evening.
1 was pained at the young man's dis-
tress, and 1 went home soliloquizing on
men's and women's ideals.—New York
Herald.
A Visit to Dumas.
It was during my second visit to Paris
in 1843 that 1 met Dumas. Whenever 1
called 1 was told that he was not up yet,
until 1 concluded that he spent tho whole
day in bed. At last, when 1 had called
half a dozen times in vain, I sent up my
letter and determined to wait until he
should get up. After awhile the servant
returned and asked me to accompanj
him to M. Dumas' bedroom. It was a
splendidly furnished room, but in' great
disorder. As I entered Dnulas looked
up. nodded kindly to me and said, "Sit
down a minute; I am just having a visit
from a lady:" and seeing my astonish
ment he burst into a hearty laugh and
added: "It is my muse. Sho will bt
going directly."
He was sitting up in bed as he said
this, writing at lightning speed in a
clear, beautiful hand, and shying each
sheet as he finished it across the floor iii
all directions. 1 could scarcely step foi
foar of spoiling his manuscript. 1
waited for ten or fifteen minutes, during
which he kept scratching away, crying
out every now and then, "Viva! Bon
mon garoon!" "Excellent Alexandre!'
At last, with a jerk as of an earthquake,
he rolled his huge form out of bed,
wrapped the blanket about him togs,
fashion, and in this costume advanceo
toward me, declaiming furiously at the
top of his voice. As he strode along
with theatrical gestures I fell back, hall
alarmed at his vehemence, and when 1
had reached the door he seized me by
the lapels of my coat, shook me gently
and said: "Now isn't that magnificent.

Bacteria are simply microscopic plants,
the smallest form of vegetable life, In i
some instances they are so small it would i
be necessary to place 15,000 of them end
to end in order to make a row an inch in
length. They are of widely different
forms, some round, some oval, some flat
or rod shaped, while still another class
are tho exact counterparts of small cork-
screws.
In all cases they are so minute that
one needs a powerful microscope in or-
der to study them, and in no case can
they be perceived simply with the naked
eye. When countless millions are
grouped together they may probably be
seen, but in this case they may be said
to resemble an approaching army, ot
which we are totally unable to distiu
guish a single soldier.—St. Louis Re-

"No wonder London is a suspicious
market for American investments."
Thus a gentleman, just returned from
the other side, held forth on some of the
New York promoters he met in London.
This class of "promoters" is a peculiar-
ly New York one. They make a pre-
carious living by bringing labor and
capital together.
The capital they join to labor is not
their own—far from it. With tlie true
spirit of the broker, they give tlie benefit
of their experience and business ac-
quaintance to others and pocket only
their commissions.
That is about the only thing pocketed
in the whole transaction, except the
bitter,^bitter memory of the laborer or
producer.
A short time since Mr. Jason Idle-
wild, a highly respected citizen of Paint-
ed Post, came to New York.
He brought with liim his latest inven-
tion, a compound centrifugal churn.
He had a feeling in his simple, sub-
urban mind that each and every roei
dent of Fifth avenue was losing sleep
because the hired girl could not get the
skimmed milk which is sold to unso-
phisticated city folks to produce the
proper amount of butter. So he hied
himself to this city with his churn mode)
packed in a dry goods case. Visions of
untold wealth were in his mind.
Now, if there is any one in this wide
world who can put an inventor on the
right track it is this class of "promoters."
One of these individuals scented the
festive granger and his packing case
full of churn. So he took him gently
in tow and piloted him right up against
capital.
What Mr. idlewild did not learn of
"controlling interests, charters, treasury
stock" and other mysteries of corporate
companies wasn't worth knowing.
After he had paid his "broker the com-
missions and expenses" he went homo.
Of course.he was made vice president
of the "Compound Centrifugal Churn
company." When he Btruck his native
heath again the Painted Posters con-
gratulated him on his success.
His old occupation of rising with tho
lark at dewy morn and gathering the
early varieties of hen fruit seemed irk-
some.
His duties as vice president of the
churn company did not interfere with
his regular farm work—not to any great
extent. He was only required to be
vice president—that was all.
But it all ended as it usually does—
and the suffering citizens of Fifth ave-
nue continue their struggle with an in-
ferior grade of butter.
The poor, hard worked trustee of
somebody's estate may have tried to
knock Jay Gould out of the street. But
Jay has an "anchor tied cinch" on that
particular portion of this somewhat
wicked metropolis.
Now, the trustee wonld not for the
world be dishonest or work any wrong
to the fatherless or the widow. He
therefore fills up his safe with stocks
and bonds. These he buys from the
"fake promoter" for about fifteen dollars
per thousand.
True, the value is hardly up to the
amount of his trust, but that is the trus-
tee's business.
So ho tnruHover to his wards as beau-
tiful a lot of bonds and stock certificates
as ever escaped a junk shop.
And then the titles—"Alaska, Yuca-
tan and Cape Horn Railroad First MOrt
gage Bonds" and the "Bungtown Water
Works Company's Bonds." and others.
Who shall say it is not a goodly lot?
In the matter of providing purple and
fine linen wherewith they may be clothed
and food whereby thej' ar^t nourished
these handlers of prodigious financial
schemes—Jthese links between capital and
tabor—are not in it to any great extent.
They know that the great financiers
are not: given to pointed toe shoes and
strajS seam covert coats.
Tlierofore, if their own coats are a
triflo shiny, if their trousers do have
whiskers on the bottoms, if their shoes
are rathor gone at the heels and their
derbys are of the crop of three years
ago they havo their example in the mas-
ter minds of finance.
Most of these "promoters" are too
strong to work. While their wives can
keep their houses filled with boarders at
six dollars a board, why should a "pro-
moter" bother his head about where the
staff of life is to come from? ,
It sounds well for any boarding house
keeper to inform the compiler of vital
statistics for the city directory that her
husband is "a broker."
Again, the table talk at dinner time is
much enlivened by tho broker's descrip-
tion of "how Jay milked the market."
The boarders fail to grumble and fall to
wondering why he did not dine with his
friend Jay.
One peculiarity of this "promoter" is
his vatchword, "tomorrow."
Alasl for frail humanity, who believe
that "all things couie to him who waits,"
the "promoter" fails to bring the day for
"closing the deal" ninety-nine times out
of a hundred.—New York Recorder.
