"That is very pleasant and encouraging as far as it goes," said the lady," but I can remain, Blanche, as your nurse, only on th condition that you obey -me. I am ready to uipack and stay, or out on my hatandgoi" Miss Harrington's gray eyes were tender and amtting, and her whole face was aglow with active benevolence); but tbe broad brow and the ttrni mouth bad also much to say of careful study and strength of character. . . " Why. auntie, I should give up entirely U you disappointed sse now," the invalid replied, with quivering lips. I have just lived on the thought of your commie " " Well, will you obev me ?" - "Yes, auntie, and 1 hope you'H remem oer that obedience is not my strong ",?Dt,I h,?ve yonr nromise. and that will do," said the nurse'cheerfully ; "and now we'll see." " Nineteen years old," Miss Harrington aaid to herself, "and cou lined to her bed eight weeks with malaria t Bosh A bad tongue, -feverish," more emaciated than I had expected to find" her. pain lu her side, intermitting pulse, constant oppress On of the chest, backache, acute headaches, cold extremities, and no appetite. And this is malaria t Bosh again! I wonder what the doctor did before ' malaria came into use. I must ask this physician his reasons for calling this a malarial at tack." Miss Harrington was as good as her word, and forcing her opinions and her doubts quite into the background, started on her tour of investigation with an ap pearance of Implicit faith In the ability of the medical man to answer her ques tions. 'rIs there anything the matter with the plumbing r" the lady inquired. xnereisn'ta aam tarypfeca u tion that answered. Do vera know of other cases of malaria in this locality ?"

My reputation Would be simply that of an old busybody aud au old fool. But, madam, this is an excellent field for you, and I'm sure we t an work to gether with the utmost harmony." "jfernaps you are ngni, aiu miss Harrington, thoughtfully, "but 1 doii't exactly see it. Of course, if your pattenls are all idiots, that settles it." " You would scarcely call your niece an idiot," said the doctor, " and she is as fair a representative oi tne ciusa as i couiu name." After a few days of Aunt Mary s efficient to wrap you in blankets till you have some clothes suitable for a Convalescent to wear, all right. If not, you must find some one else to take care of you.! My time is alto- f ether too precious to throw away, "his may seem yery cruel, Blanche ; but I really think it would : be far better for you to die now than to be nursed back to the old shameful conditions. There- is nothing before you but a life of invalidism if you decide to go on as'you have begun." ' But how can I wear horrid old shoes and old scratchy flannels, and have a waist like a washerwoman's " the girl inquired, between laughing and crying. "You havn't said anything about go loshes and leggings yet, but perhaps you'd like to-have me wear those?" "Shall I get the blankets and my quilted slippers, Blanche?" Aunt Mary inquired. Yes: bring the gun-boats and the flan nels," her compar'm replied. "And if you can find a few en's feathers to stick in my hair, the resemblance to a Sioux squaw will be more striking, " : After tbia-VjnuTiryeiene, and very -.csuug and profitable topics they proved to be.

Since the overthrow of the Tweed ring New ' York 'City has had a comparatively honest government The one blot upon it as administered is the collusion of the police 'With certain classes of what may be called the criminal population. It is an undisputed fact that iu this great city certain forms of vice ' oc law-breaking go undisturbed year in and year out be cause a moneyed consideration is paid to the police officials. The 'minute that the payment of 'the money ceaess that minute the place is closed. This may seem to be an unguarded or reckless assertion, but its truth 'will be instantly recognized in journalistic and political circles of this city. If the police alone profited by the collection of this blackmail money 'the levying of it would be stopped in a hurry, but the bulk of the cash is passed along up into the coffers of the political organiza tions, and there the whole business is pro tected. Why is it that the most notorious police captain in New York City is always set free, no matter what may be the charges against him ? Why is it that he now soaps his fingers at the new accusations made 1 against him and says to reporters who call on him that ttie Police Commis sioners cannot and will not put him out for not closing gambling houses in his pre cinct? Because he has paid more than $100 a month for the last ten years into the treasury of a most influential political or ganization and the politicians are strong enough to protect hnn. Not a gambling house or a bouse of questionable repute nora-Uquor saloon that keeps open after 1 o'clock in the morning ana on Sundays out pays its assessment with absolute regularity, and not one of these places but expects to pay and is glad to pay rather than be molested. It has come to be to them in the nature of a tax or a license fee, and they charge it into expenses as much as they do Kas or f nel. Not a young woman who walks the streets as a matter of hiQi- paid nut turns over a snare 01 it 10 nis superior officer. It has come to be a vast, widely extended evil, and "how to prevent or lessen it 1 a problem worthy the most careful study. It is difficult to break up the practice for the reason that the ar rangement is satisfactory to those most concerned. The gaming house or the place of ill repute- has no forms of law to observe. It lias simply to thrust a roll of greenbacks' into the policeiuau's hands, and protection thereafter is insured. There is no bother about that If a spasm of virtue seizes the Police Board, and shuttlng-tipnif all such places ordered, the folks wliii nave paM their assessment get ample notice, andtare not caught The police put every imaginable obstacle in tne wav of anV other system, for the reason that they ore well satisfied with the present system in which they so largely participate. Many a brown stone front between Fourteenth street and Forty- second pays a weekly assessment of lioo, and well can it afford to tio so when its weekly income is a thousand dollars. Let the house neglect for once to pay the assess ment and you read about a raid upon it in the next morning s newspapers. 1 ne polie of New York virtually blackmail thV mmblers. liauor sellers, and unfor tunates into pa) ing thousands of dollars for the privilege of carrying on an unlaw ful business, and the business is known to exist by every city officer from the Mayor down, ana is tacitly couweuancea Dy one and all. So bodily are the arrangements carried out that an officer or a detective makes a weekly round of the places and collect the cash. The salary of a police captain is comparatively small, yet the most of police captaiiiB are rich men ere they have held their places long. They not only retain a proportion of the money collected, but they receive and accept valuable presents rrom the same sources whence' comes the blackmail - money and they convert the presents into cash or make good use of them. It is a bad and corrupt condition of affairs when the ofii cers of the law rise their discretion as to whether the law shall be itb-erved, espe cially when that discretion is influenced by the payment of money for the privilege of violating law, and when those ouly who pay are permitted to transgress. New York Cor. A PERSIA PICTURE1. now the Shan Lives In nf a Capital. In the capital, says the London World; the Shah may frequently be seen on horse, back, and, like all Persian gentlemen, he rides well ; his horses, with long and un- cut tails, dyed crimson for some six inches at their tips, (the jealously guar. privilege of the Kine and his sons,) are distinguished by their value and beauty. Here, too, the Shah's quiet taste is ap parent in the sombre materials of his sad dlery, though of course each spirited charger has its pure geld or jeweled neck let and trappings, and these barbaric orna ments certainly do not detract from its apJ pearance. Riding alone, his eyes general ly on the ground, his Majesty still mail tain?-MtjMJ?r scarlet and gold, and wearing the tnrreted hats of other days, with their jingling ornaments, and each armed with his silver staff of office, hover round the Shah, while one remains at his stirrup to indicate the royal pleasure. Behind come one or two of the Ministers, then pell-mell the throng of mounted courtiers, secretaries, officials, and their hangers-on, while the royal body-guard" of irregulars, each with his gun slung in a scarlet cloth case across his back, mix promiscuously : among the mis cellaneous crowd of 100 to 200 horsemen without whom the Shah is hardly ever seen. The royal carriage most in vogue with his Majesty bears a suspicious like ness to one of our Sheriff's vehicles; eight horses are harnessed to it, the pairs being ndien by four postilions in scarlet. As a rule the King is alone; the only exceptions bi'iug when accompanied by one of his sons or the Prime Minister, or perhaps some religions majm.ite. Erratic as heis in l.is moveinei.ts passing from one suburban' palace to another, the roval route may generally be ascertained bv observing the v::ter carriers, who carefully sprinkle the lo.id the King will nse. Nor is thisa need less form, as the ordinary state of the r .'ads, if they may be dignified with that title, round -Teheran is similar to the dustiest of Derbys. At 11 o'clock the royal breakfast is served. It is a solitary meal. The King is squatting on the ground ; some 50 dishes ;re set lefore him. His Majesty -selects the simplest, and quenches his thirst with bmtenuilk or.iced sherbets, which are served in delicions profusion in magnificent cii.na bowls. ' Lead silence is observed by the lew favored courtiers 'who' stand around tbe walls of the apartments. The r-iyai butlers silently hand the various di lies. As the Kiug eats he addresses thie whom he may deign to honor with his notice, and these fortunate ones bow lv and answer in humble affirmatives: " May 1 be your sacrifice. Asylum of the I inverse. So it is," and so on. The same kind of language is used by the roval Primes in addressing their father, and they would' not presume to attempt to sit 111 the royal presence; but as iu Persia 110 son would sit in his father's presence un less oruereu to ao so, th.s is more due to lilial respect than the awe of majesty.

' ! A lady housekeeper writes :! In selecting a new carpet, we should not only select of pleasing patterns and colors, but One that will not be incongruous with the other furniture of the room, i The object' of t he carpet should be not to call atten tion to itself, but to bring into relief and harmonize the other furniture. There ia again a tendency toward lighter carpets, wh eh is an improvement. Light carpets are nofonly prettier, but more serviceable. Soft, low tones in neutral colors are most popular, and the figures in the best carpets ' ai? small, in either geometrical or Oriental deshr-s. Flower designs are occasionally feeeu ,ut are not nearly so popular as they were a few years ago. All carpets have' borders, and one is not obliged to purchase an Axminster or a Wilton to get a carpet of artistic design and best colors, as those are duplicated in body Brussels and In grains, so that a person of moderate means may have as tasteful a carpet as the very wealthy. In buying a Brussels carpetj a body Brussels is the cheapest, although the firt cost is more, as they wear so much J etterthan the tapestry. For chambers I like nothing so well as matting. It is free from-dust, easily swept, and comes in many ditf erent styles, giving the purchaser a wide range of choree.

The dignatariesof the courtare numerous, and consist of the lxnl Chamberlain, the ch ief arpet spreader, t he chief execut ioner, theliOrd Hih Treasurer, the chief hunts man, the Prime Minister, and the head of the Foreign Office. Then cotne the minor dignitaries ; the chief of the guard, the chief doctor, the chief barber, the chief of the telegraphs, the master of. the horse, the Court poet,, and the Court painter are not wanting. All these office are sa!arierand every royal has his privileges of oppressing his subordinates and of extort ing from outsiders. Often salaries are not paid, or are for!eited, or presents far ex ceeding their amount are made to the bhah himself or his ministers. Hut every man, from the Prime Minister downward, has his legitimate perquisites, his lawful peculations in fact, the modakel (or dustoor.e, as it is called in India) assigned to his position.

He had lighted his palace with gas, and even started the electric light' there; but when he did not pay the salary of the genial Frenchman who provided that light, all was dark once more. In fact, the ."shah was introduced to the high handed proceedings of gas companies in Europe. After that the Freiichmau got his pay, and t lie supply has been steady since. The King now returns salutes, as a rule; betore his vis. ts to hurope he did not. He now looks athe pictures in the illustrated journals with pleasure.

' Mr. John S. Collins, of Moorestown, K. J., sends the Rural New Yorker plans of a fruit house 1 for cold storage. In describing the building he says: i " My fruit house was originally a barn twenty-four by thirty-six feet; I moved it to the su.eot wuat in winter is an ice Cd, lined it on the inside with inch nis and filled it with twenty-four inches of sawdust Six feet from the floor on the inside, are six heavy white-oak pieces running crosswise, supported by upright posts, over which and ruoniug lengthwise of the building is a floor of chestnut rails.

There they are in fire-burnt colors oii concave surface, and the artist lay down on his back and washed them into History with a big white washbrush. Like Dante, he also told his own sad tale, and put in both his wives, to one of whom he was not always kind, and the last was wild.

Afte'r the ar tist has finished cutting the design and has shaped the bowl, the finished bowl is boiled in wax. Why in wax? Because the wax penetrates the pores for; a short distance beneat h the surface and serves to keep the coloring matter m the pipe. Ihe coloring matter is the oil of tobacco, not nicotine, as many erroneously supixi.se, and it sinks into the ufcersL-haniu, which is simply a very tine porous clay, and is stopped by the wax before it is driven out at the outer suriace oy tne mm insiue. If it were not for the wax the coloring matter would pass out and get rubbed off and the pipe would never bfe eokfe-ed. A glazing of glass would do as well i s wax, but wax is the cheapest material that has been forma lor the purpose.' .now wnen over-anxious smokers try to hurry tne process of coloring the ptie by smoking pipeful after pipeful of tobacco the wax is driven out, leaving the pipe raw and dry. The nearer to the top of the bowl the wax is kept the finer it will look when . col ored. The smoker should take long, slow pulls at the pipe, and alter one pipeful is exhausted the pipe should be laid down to cool off before it is filled again. Oacft natt Commvn:lal-(Juzctte.
