Midway between Europe and Africa, ita shores washed by the blue waters of tho Mediterranean, lies the little island of Minorca. Out of the beaten line of travol, overlooked by energctio tourists, it holds its only direct communication with civilization through tramp steam ers and an occasional yacht Minorca' has well nigh forgotten the outside world, and with true southern indolence dreams over its own petty in terests unless wakened to sudden but evanescent 'activity by some event out of tho common. Tho largest city Port Mahon clam bers up and down the cliffs of its lovely harbor in an aimless way, and on first approaching two things strike you, the drizzling whiteness against the intense blue of sea and sky and the monotony of tho flat roofed, chimney less houses. The eobblo paved streets are marvel ously clean, and the people, in their quaint, gay costumes, stand out with picturesque effect against the stuccoed walls which line the way. , On a cliff overhanging the harbor and the city is a plaza called the Alameda, where a few ilex trees afford a grateful shade. On one of the low stone benches away, watching the shadows chase each other over tho swelling hills and mead ows beyond. Now and again the soft wind wafts perfume from the almond blossoms which lie like flakes of snow on the bare fields stretching away to the blue water. One evening not long ago a young girl was seated on the low wall watch ing Jhe sun sinking in tho cloudless i mi . , xt ., : tilla draped her graceful head, and her long, slender fingers toyed with the ends hanging over her shoulders. She represented one of the better class, with the intense southern beauty of the peas ant idealized. Her black hair waved off a low forehead, guiltless of the pointed "friz" which disfigured the face of those who ape the Parisian fash ion. Her . brows were heavy, and her dark eyes, riveted on the harbor below, seemed to reflect the sunset light She was watching a large yacht which, with all sails set, was gliding slowly, like some stately bird, to its anchorage. The rattling of the anchor chains roused her and broko the long silence which she had so persistently main tained with her companion, a young man of Spanish type. A mixture of northern blood lightened his olive com- features. His waist was circled by a red sash, and his workworn hands twist ed a bright colored turban, fashioned from a largo handkerchief. His passionate gaze contrasted strangely with the girl's indifference. "La Bella Jacquita" she was called, and well did she deserve her name! What was he that he should win her, after all? Jacquita looked up and smiled. As when tho sun, breaking through the clouds, bathes the fields in warmth and light, so did that smile transfigure the girl's fair face. The distant church clock struck 6. Rising she drew the folds of her man tilla closer, and lifting her eyes to his said softly, "A Biverdel, Felipe 1" His gaze met hers pride, anger, pas sion in his eyes. Mastering his excite ment, he spoke: "Jacquita, be careful! I am not like those silly lads who come and go at a girl's nod. Today I offer you my life, my heart! A man's dearest hopes, and desires have I laid bare. How have you answered?" Ho waited. Jacquita pushed the . gravel petulantly with her foot watch ing the pebbles fly, with a half mocking smile on her lips. Again he Bpoke: I know you are 'La BellaVof Ma hon, but I, too, have pride! Keep your scoresoi admirers, but know that from today thero is one less one man more is nothing in the tale of your conquests. x ou are 'La Bella, ' and the man who makes you love him must needs be more than human stronger than Felipe. Never again will I be ridiculed, mocked, as l navo been today!" -. Jacquita trembled slightly, but still smiled. She waited. Then,, looking up, she-said, "Feline. I am sorrv" hat chpe had gone. That night Jacquita went with fear. excitement and the triumph of having urougnt enpe so low as to beg her as. iw naa aone tnat evening. "He will re turn, ' ' thought she. 'Thev alwava do. ' Next day tho party from the yacht made tho tour of the town. A little boy of about 0 years of age was $he life and center of interest of tho group.

Sho began to wonder whether she had bet ter accept him. Tho fun would then be ' over, but supposing the other thing!

AN but he Is a brave lad, that Felipe, and a lucky one! Some of us will care, but to those who have no hearts" and here she glanced coldly at the girl sitting silent beside her "to thcee it wiU make no difference." Just then Felipe himself sauntered up. There was a difference between this nonohalent young sailor, bearing his honors so lightly, and the passionate Ipver of the night before. '"Good luck, Felipe!" someone called, and Francesco, again the spokeswoman, cried, "Your fame has flown before you, and your good fortune makes us envious. " Felipe turned to Jacquita. . She was talking animatedly to a young fellow beside her seemingly oblivions of all else. Felipe's face darkened. Then, laughing, he turned, saying: "Come, friends, let us have a merry time on this our last' night together. Come, drink my health and prosperity with me!" "Si! Si!" they answered. Jacquita alone declined. She was "too tired," she said haughtily. Fran cesco, shrugging her shoulders, mur mured: "One of her ugly moods! San tissima what a temper!" Jacquita listened to the retreating: footsteps, and her downcast eyes filled with tears, why, she would not own to herself. A quick step sounded, a voice said, "Jacquita!" Something false pride perhaps or fear lest Felipe should see. her weeping held down her. eyes, but he smiled. "Thou didst not say 'Addio,' or even, a lucky wish, Jacquita!" . Silence, then a smothered oath.broke from his lips, and ere she could frame the words of farewell still lingering on. her tongue she heard him striding down, the street As he turned the corner, snatches of a waltz-one of Franoeeca's favorites came floating back to her. . Early the next morning, while the Alameda yet lay wrapped in sleep, a girl leaned over the sea wall gazing with, burning eyes at the beautiful boat be low. The bustle of departure reached her straining ears, and Bhe saw a row boat speed out to the ship. A cheer rose from those on shore as with a final pull the anchor was hauled aboard. The broad sails filled slowly, and she slipped away as silently as she came away into-, the purple mists of the morning, away, and bearing with her a whole life's grief and disappointment " La Bella Jacquita' is going daft cries Francesca as every night the girl walks to the Alameda, watching for a boat that never comes. One evening she sat gazing at a tramp- steamer just anchored. She recalled that other night, and the boat now so- far away. Alas for the pride of "La Bella of Mahon 1" The setting sun covered her with its golden light Her dark eyes grew larger with unshed tears.

Some of .the Valuable Dlsooreries That Were Made by Chance. Some of the most successful and remark able engineering enterprises have been claimed to owe their existence to circum stances which, when considered In them selves, seem far too trivial to nave pro duced suoh important results. Though opinions be divided as to the first trans mission of power by electricity, for exam ple, it has been strenuously maintained in some Quarters tnat accident, pure ana simDle. was the cause of the great discov ery, and an interesting story nap Deen tola for manv vans of the attending circum stances. This is to the effect that at the International exhibition at Vienna in 1873 the Gramme company exhibited two dy namo machines for plating purposes. One of these machines was In motion, ana a workman who noticed that some cables were trailing on the ground, thinkingthat they belonged to the second macnine, placed them in its terminals, to tne sur prise of everybody, this second machine immediately began to turn, and It was then-discovered that the first dynamo was driving the second. It would be strange indeed if there were not other versions of this story, and accordingly we find several somewhat different accounts, from all of which, however, it would appear that the development of any measurable power in a machine tajking Its supply of electricity from a primary dynamo was something wholly unexpected and correspondingly startling. Closely analogous is the narrative of the origin of one of the most successful foun dry blowers now in use, according to which the Inventor was attempting to construct a water motor which persistently refused to go round when the water was turned on. In the determination to learn what 'was wrong a belt connection was made with a line shaft so that the motion of the machine might be studied. By the same means a reverse motion was given to it, and the wav in which It threw the water, and after the water had been exhausted drove a current of air, suggested an entire change of purpose, and the machine was nnlshed and put on the market as a mow er Instead of as a water motor, and thou sands have Been built since. This story, often told with various modifications of detail, serves as an additional Illustration of the fact that Inventors frequently stum ble upon success in entirely unexpected directions.

BOME OF THE PRACTICAL TRICKS OF 80ME OF THE DOCTORS. - She Devices Are Old Stagers, bat' They. ' Serve a Purpose Still MtOrtna; a Show of Practice Where There Is None Putting' on the Appearance of Age. ; . There Is such a terrible overcrowding of the medical profession that it becomes al most a matter of : life and death for the great majority of fresh entrants into the ranks to get themselves pushed to the front by some means or other. Great talent sooner or later makes Itself felt, good for-' tune gives some "a leg up," but the less gifted and less lucky may have a severe Itrnggle before they can make even a bare Hence unscrupulous ones are en often to practice many dodges, some em harmless enough, others not so al ter, in order to attract patients or to from them as possible. - : iedibal etiquette is strict, and any breach of it would very soon bring down the terrors of the medical profession on the head of the offender. : And advertising U one of the unprofeaslonal practices which is absolutely interdicted. The name on the doorplate Is all a doctor is allowed by way of directing the attention of the pub-, llo to the fact that he is in -their midst, ready to apply his knowledge fcjf their good. But there is advertising and adver tising, and there are various ways in which the ambitious young physician or surgeon can evade the strict letter of the law. Some of theso are. old tricks, yet none the less are they effectual in a certain de gree and used in town and country when the chance offers. New York is of course the natural refuge of the shady physician, and many of his dodges may be most easily worked here, but the pressure is terrible, and many a medical man has a very hard struggle. This may be realized when it is stated that there is in the metropolis one doctor for every 760 people. Deduct the nonpaying patients and allow for large practices, and the problem of existence for the average medical man seems Insoluble. In advertising it is a good maxim from the advertiser's point of view to assume -a virtue, if you have It not. The doctor Who has no patients stands a poor chance of getting any. Consequently with a little capital it is possible to purchase patients to make a show. A string of empty car riages at the door or a well filled waiting room, Judiciously manipulated, according to locality, are good though rather expen sive advertisements.. It might even be possible, but not very easy, one would think, for the doctor longing to see the face of his first patient to keep him wait ing when he does turn up half an hour or more under pretense of being already en gaged with another, f Around of two or three calls is easily extended by a few Im aginative hints into a dozen or two, but the bolder trickster launches out into rbek- less expenditure, hires a carriage, keeps it at his door and is constantly being driven here, there and everywhere. Then: "Dr. has such a large practice! We must Bend for blm, " Is the desired result, which, alas! does not always come about A doctor newly settled in a small coun try town made a point of attending church regularly for a time, and somehow It al ways happened that he received an urgent summons which required his immediately taking up his hat and hurriedly leaving. This made known his presence famously, and when presently he ceased attendance entirely it was readily attributed to his in creasing work. - Church is indeed a favor ite hunting ground for doctors in search of patients, and some have got a good start from the clergyman having asked if there was a medical man present when' some prominent member was suddenly taken ill during service. - A similar ruse, threadbare enough by this time, is for the doctor, when dining out, to make provision that there shall be a sudden urgent call for his services. Al though not a very big advertisement, it always helps to keep him to the front. There Is no doubt that In the medical profession the young man is at a disadvan tage. Fresh from his studies, he may be thoroughly abreast of medical science, while the old fogy rarely looks at a book or a journal and plods on as If no advance had been made since he got his diploma. Yet the old man has that which begets confidence and is as yet lacking in the young man experience. So the "beard less boy" grows a beard, and by and by, should he remove his sphere of action, tries to still further strengthen his position and remove all trace of juvenility from his ap pearance by hastening the process of years and artificially whitening his hair. The physician wishing to succeed may try another and more legitimate way of getting his name up. With too muoh lei sure on his hands, he enters with enthu siasm into some special branch of his pro fession studies, experiments, investigates and puts forth the results in articles in the professional journals, and ultimately in a book. But it must be said that there are some not by any means ornaments to their pro fession, and it may certainly bo safely said that they are comparatively few In number who are unscrupulous enough to stoop to the unspeakable meanness . of keeping patients once they have got them. The trick Is simple enough, but not easi ly detected. The patient calls in the doc tor for some ailment, not of a very serious kind, though perhaps rather obscure, and instead of giving him a treatment which would put him all right in a week or two the doctor if he knows his man has mon ey to pay for it treats him in such a way that he does -not mend, perhaps gets nei ther much better nor worse for weeks, or even months, or tmtil he sees signs of of rebellion, when he changes his course, and presently his patient is all right, but with a considerably longer bill to pay than if he had fallen into other hands. Humoring the fanciful whims of "old women" of both sexes, who have never been seriously ill in their lives, is a more lucrative business and certainly not so reprehensible. It is a trick of the trade which is not worth more than bare men tion. Now York Dispatch. Bound to Be In Style.

It was' called to order at noon in the Grand Opera House by . President Bryan, of Nashville, who introduced Mayor 1. H, Alexander, of Augusta, who welcomed .the Congress on the part of the city. Mayor Alexander s speech, was tall of interesting history about Augusta. It is the oldest inland city in the South At lantic States and was the second estab lished by Oglethorpe, This, city, before the day of railroads being the farthest inland city with river navigation to the sea soutn oi Virginia, was tne point of communication with the outer worm oi an tuai icmiury cmoracea in Northern Alabama,- East Tennessee, Western North Carolina. North Georgia and South Carolina. Here all this vast section came in wagons to trade. It was here that kli Whitney con ducted his experimental works, and in 1793 developed the cotton gin, one ot the most famous industrial inventions of the world, which .immediately revolu tionized the agricultural industry of this section from tobacco and indigo to cot ton as its staple. In 1800, seven years after Whitney's gin appeared, Georgia alone exported over 7,000 bales. We have here the oldest public jour nal in the South, the Augusta Chronicle, established in 1795, and published con tinuously since that date. . We have the oldest incorporated educational institu tion in the South, in the , Richmond Academy, established by act of the Legislature of Georgia in 1783. We have the second oldest completed rail road in the country the South Caro- lica Railroad running from Charleston io Augusta and preceded only by the Camden & Am boy' Railroad in New Jersey.

Lamar, President of theYoung Men's Business League of Augusta, ' which secured the Congress for this city, wel comed the Congress and followed with more valuable facts concerning the Au gusta of to-day. - Gov. Northen welcomed the Congress on the part of Georgia, and gave a glow ing picture oi her progress and thnlt. He declared the readiness ot ueorgia to welcome industrious immigrants who come to cast their lot here. Senator Patrick Walsh, whose home is here, welcomed the Congress and ex tended them the privileges of the Com mercial Club, of which he is President. He said the assembling of thirteen Southern States reminded him of that first Convention of the thirteen original States to declare their independence. The present movement is to formulate plans by which this most tavored region could enlarge its citizenship and work out its material independence. He thoukht the occasion most auspicious nd the outlook very bright for the suc cess of the Congress. ; The responses to the addresses of Wel come were by uov. MCorKie, uov. Carr. of North Carolina, and Gov. Till man, of South Carolina. The latter de clared that it was well-enough to invite people and capital from the outside and all tbat came would be welcome, but for every dollar of outside capital the South ern people must expend ten of their own it they were in earnest about desiring to build up the bouth. The luture of this section depends, he said, on the ; efforts of our own people, and what southern farmers need most it an immigration of ideas and lutelugent agricultural meth ods. Southern farmers would never prosper as long as they spent six months in the year trying to Kin tne grass in their fields and the next six in buying hay from Maine and other Northern States. ! At the conclusion of addresses of wel come and the responses, President Bryan addressed the Congress. He expressed the need for immigration in the South ern States by contrasting the population per square mile ot some ot tne states as follows. . Massachusetts, 287; Kentucky, which is the most densely populated oi tne Southern States, 45; Rhode Island, 264; Texas. 8. ; He showed the material advance which has taken place in the South, and called attention to the fact that educational advantages were keeping pace, the in crease having been 100 per cent, in the past decade, appropriations by south ern states lor inis -purpose last year being over ftl6.000.000. The total value of school property in the South is $10, 000.000: number of teachers, 84,000; white pupils, 2,210,000; negroes, 1,250,- 000; pupils in private schools, 300,000; in parochial schools, 40,000. He thought the time was ripe for the immigration movement in the: south and believed that by patriotic and united efforts of the present intelligent men composing the Congress, some wise and practical plan would be adopted. l.i tue aiternoon session permanent organization was effected by the re-election of President M. T. Bryan,- of Ten nessee, and Secretary B. b. Elliot, of Florida. It was decided that each State reported should vote according to its vote in the Electorial College and each Territory haye one vote.

All details ot organization ana tne or der of business having been gotten through to-day, the Congress will begin on its practical work to-morrow. Just what line of action will be taken nobody seems yet to know., There appears to be no pre-conceived scheme to carry out Everybody seems to De at tne point where he believes the time is ripe for a concerted movement in the interest of Southern immigration, and to believe that it is a good thing to undertake, but j a st how it is to be done is yet to be de termined by the committee. ; Gov.
