Inside the outer lid there was placed a cork shell, forming, as a matter of fact, an inner box of cork, ,r ,- Summoning resolution;.. with a: swift movement I threw back the cork lid and looked In. With a cry I fell back a step, for there lay, in all its shriveled hideous ness, a severed human hand. As I looked intently into the box, to my horror the hand moved, assuming the at titude of writing, the fingers foreshorten ing and the knuckles rising. Slowly, with the utmost deliberation,' it wrote. The writing, was large, round and: in tensely black, showing vividly against its light background of cork.! Every letter branded Itself on my brain as I read these wordsi . "Oliver, y- dear nephew, I loved a woman once. I love her still. She could not marry me. She married, another. While in life I believed that she was dead. She lives widowed and ' poverty stricken with her only child. Her name Is Ethel Elston, and they live at Dalton, 80 miles south of Wildcliff. Go to them, relieve ' their necessities and do as you know I would wish you to do. Farewell." The next morning found me In the town of Dalton, bent on carrying out my in structions. I made many fruitless in quiries for Mrs. Elston, but no one seemed to know anything about such a person. I began to doubt the accuracy of my su pernatural directions, when by a happy ac cident I chanced upon the house I was looking for. , .' There was no answer to my. knock. An air of abject poverty hung about the place. The panels of the . door were. rotten and worm eaten, giving glimpses .of the in terior. I pushed the door open and entered. For a moment or two I could discern nothing. Gradually objects resolved themselves out of their surrounding gloom, and 1 saw a woman lying on a wretched couch, and be side her, holding her hand, a girl of about 18 or SO. I made a slight noise to attract atten tion, and the girl turned her head toward me. She looked inquiringly at mo out of her large, dark eyes, and I advanced cautious ly, so as not to disturb the woman, whom I now perceived to be asleep. . Whispering that I was a friend who had been sent to help them, I went out and brought back with me a doctor. .' - Before evening Agnes that was the girl's name and I had transformed the miserable little apartment' into some ap pearance of comfort. k I engaged a nurse and made every ar rangement for Mrs. Elston's comfort and for that of her daughter. . Before X left the latter and I had a long talk. Agnes told me the story of their lives with a simplicity and modesty which won my heart. Her father had been dead many years. Indeed her parents' married life was brief. Mrs. Elston was left with a small income sufficient for their requirements. Agnes was well educated, and their lives were tranquil and uneventful Then disaster came. : Two years ago they lost their money through a defaulting trustee. The struggle for existence was stern and bitter, and not seldom the bare necessities of life were wanting. Mrs. Elston did not recover conscioua ness and passed away a day or two later, carrying with her all that I might hope to know of the early days wherein James Jamieson had loved and lost her. ' Eighteen months have elapsed. Agnes Elston Is my wife. Mutual sympathy has grown to mutual love, and the future looks fair beyond all promise. j On the second anniversary of my uncle's peath I stood once more before the black box, thinking of all that happened in the past year. - To the best of my ability I had carried out the instructions so marvelously con veyed. Sustained with this knowledge, I threw back the cork lid with a complete absence of fear. ; The box was empty. London Spare- mumeais.

But dinner as 'served 60 or 70 years ago presented points' in which the conquest was incomplete. Thus men had to carve the food on the ta ble. This led to shame and misery and the exposure of incompetence. ' Besides it left the door wide open for talking about food. Moreover, though men no longer ate as much as they could, they still drank as much as they oould, i In illustration Of this History, can any one tell me, asks Walter Besant in the London Queon, first, -when the custom of putting the wine glasses, reversed, in wa ter glasses was abolished? Some one, I take it, was struck with the uselessness and the cumbrousness of the custom and boldly swept it away. ! Second, when were people first paired off f Formerly the host- took the principal lady, ana tne rest ioi lowed as they chose.! Third, when, were the names of the guests written on cards in their places? Fourth, when was dinner first carved off the table? It was some time in the sixties. ; The dinner so served was called, if I remember', rightly, dinner a la Busser and there was a great deal of oppo sition to it. But common sense and handl- ness prevailed. : - Mv corresDondent informs me a thing which I did not know that when dinner Was all out on the table at once there used to be a set number of dishes, according to the number of guests-re. g., 8 to 12 guests;. hence the expression,! "Go vers were laid for so many." The "covers" were the cov ered dishes. And, she adds, when we speak of ladles taking four' glasses after dinner we must remember that the glasses were very tiny. Big' glasses, she thinks, came in with the temperance movement, so that a man could declare honestly that he had taken only three glasses. - Jferhaps tne temperance movement has much to answer for. I am reminded of a certain under- erraduate in ancient days. He was in train- ins- for the boat races, i Like the rest ot the crew,' he was put on an allowance of one glass of port a day. The day before the race it was discovered that he had craftily caused to be made a wine glass which held a pint and a half. And to this single glass he rigidly confined nlmfieir. CHINESE CARVINGS. Artistic Ornaments Cut Out of Nnts and Tiny JTruit Stones. - f a The most' curious objects which are made subjects of the carver's art in China are the various nuts and fruit stones. Among the latter class may be named the stones of the olive, plum, peach, cherry, and of the former the most common ore madeupon the shells of walnuts and cocoa nuts. These seeds and nuts are collected with ereat care and carefully cleaned and dried before being taken to the carver, who has on Invariable standard of size, propor tion, weight, hardness, etc. When every detail has been carried out to the satisfac tion of the artist, a nut or seed Is selected by the designer, who roughly traces upon its surface an outline of the future picture.' This is handed over to apprentices, -who block out the design by cutting througn the ligenous tissue along the lines drawn. The crude carving is again passed to the designer, who sketches a second and more intricate series of outlines, when it again goes forward to the subordinates, who cut out the indicated ftnAnnrfn. After this the designer ' gives the object Its finishing touches, and the assistants prepare it for market by polishing, oiling and waxing the carvings. . These nut' and fruit 6tone carvings are shown in the shape of buttons, " watch charms, sleeve links, earrings and brooches. Collections of them strung on 6ilver, copper or gold wire are also used as bracelets, anklets, necklaces, rosaries and official ornaments. I , i The carvings represented upon these seed and nut ornaments are frequently of a -very high order of conception and display much of tho carver's cleverness and dex ;terity. The writer has seen single cherry ' seeds upon which were plainly and artis tically outlined a dragon, two crickets, a cornflower and a bunch of grapes. On tne larger seeds and nuts are represented en tire trees and their fruits and leaves, vines with leaves, flowers and vegetables attaoh- ,ed, as well as buildings, bridges, towers. temples and fences. (Among the second group, which are usually compoeea princi pally of animal figures, the horse, lion. tiger, elephant, camel and bull are most generally represented. St. Louis Repub lic. I .!'

An elderly gentleman, who had a horror of the north wind, never went out of doors so long as it lasted. He had a weathercock erected in his garden in order to tell him" which way the wind blew. In due course the north wind set in, and he at once shut himself up. Every morning he looked out at the weathercock, but no change had oo- cured. - This state of things went on for a mouth. At length he began to suspect that something was wrong, and calling his man servant the two resolved to examine the Weathercock.

Elaine nodded again. . "You will in half a minute," she said. "Now listen to me. I am going to state two facts. Fact number one you are tired of me. I Fact number two I am tired of you. That's the case in a nutshell." Cyril thrust his hands in his pockets and became suddenly and deeply interested in his irreproachable boots. - By Jove!" was all ne said. I am tired of you," she repeated. "Don'ti get cross. I am not rude, only truthful. I am stating a fact. It Is my nature. I I always get tired of men in the end. 1 It Is only a question of time. . Most things in this life are, I think. ' Men," she went on reflectively, "charm yon up to a given point, and pall upon you afterward. There is a great sameness about them." - " Cyril started, as well he might. It was somewhat of a poser to hear his own in most thoughts and sentiments put into words in this calm fashion. How often had not he thought just what she had said, with the slight difference of substituting the noun feminine far the noun mascu linel "You speak," he said sarcastically, "from experience, no doubt" - She looked at him serenely. "Yes," she answered, "I do. I know men pretty thoroughly now, which is a great achievement, and I know myself, too which is a still greater achievement, though you may not think so. It is always the same. So long as I am not sure of a man so long I want to be sure of him. But the moment I am sure of him in that mo ment I cease to want him. I never felt sure of you until last night. Until then you had always eluded me, and I could not tell if yoa were in earnest or not, but last night you showed me that you loved. me for the moment and that was the end! so far as I was concerned." She paused. "I showed you that I loved you, too for the moment, "she added present ly, "and that was the end as far as you were concerned. Last night was the cli max, and after the climax to people like you and me comes the reaction. " , Once more she paused. . I "By Jove!" said Cyril again. He could not think of anything else to say.! , - ., Truth to tell, he felt . distinctively mall, and that is a feeling that does not conduce to a man's general good humor at any time. He was beaten at his own same and vanquished with his own weap ons. The . situation was a novel one, but it lacked the charm that novelty Is com monly supposed to .possess. This girl, with her angel face and Innocent eyes, was not the simple, trusting maiden ' that he had believed, but a very queen of coquettes, a flirt of a different and more dangerous caliber than any he had met before. Life had its illusions and its disillusions. "Don't be cross," said Elaine in a per suasive tone. "Don't bear malice. Shake hands and be friends. I shouldn't have talked to you like this only that I know you are just like me. I don't know how I know it, but I do. Instinct, I suppose ' woman's safest guide. I didn't know it until tonight. It came upon me all at jOnoe. My convictions generally do. know you feel just as I feel and think as I think. I know you wanted me until you thought you could have me, and then you didn't want me any longer. Now confess. Amlnotrlghtf" Cyril took the little hand held out to him and prepared to put as good a face as he could upon the matter. It seemed the best thing to da ! '.'Perhaps you are," he said. "Anyway, I shan't contradict you. It's rude to con tradict a ladv. isnt itf I He looked down, and she looked up. Their eyes met. A moment later the fields were ringing with their laughter. t "Oh," said Elaine as soon as she could speak, "it's a clean case of diamond cut piamona. tne cieanest l ever nearu ox. And you know if anyone saw our little 'story in print they would say it was far- letoned ana improbable and could not pos sibly happen forgetting that it is the far fetched and improbable things that gen rally do happen in this life."

"'.v:Bjr Telegraph to the Morning Star.' : , ; San Francisco. June! i. The Ex aminer publishes this morning the' iot- owinz from its correspondent at Mazit- lan, dated May 81, via Galveston: v The steamer San Juan bas 'arrived here with twenty- one passengers picked up on Tuesday from the wreck of the steamer Colima. .From the passengera your correspondent has learned of the particulars of the dreadful disaster which they say happened on Monday at noon, when the Colima was about forty-eight miles : out of- Manzanillo and tea off shore. -1 All of those who were rescued are badly bruisedr They were ail picked up A from pieces of wreckage; and raits, witn tne exception or a. j. soutn erland, who had clung to a boat after it had-capsized five times and drowned all the others who attempted to escape from the wreck in her, All afloat were lashed bv the fiercest gale of years and buffeted by the angry seas for 24 hours. ? The steamer was neaviry laden ana had a large deck load of lumber.: ' When the : storm struck , her she made, bad weather of it, the captain having great difficulty ia keeping her head to the sea. The wind increased in fury until ; it is said to have been, the 1 fiercest storm known along this coast in twenty yearsT The sea rose rapidly. , water was head over , the vessel and started, the deck load. As the waves rose and the storm increased the management of the steamer became impossible.: One of the seas, a mighty wave, struck her with such force that the beams trembled; as if she bad struck on a reef and most of the passen gers tnoueht this the cause ot the shock. The passengers were pretty badly stunned bv being pitched - about, but rushed up on the deck in a panic Here they met another danger.) i The gale tore parts of the deck load of lumber,' from the fastenings and whirled the heavy planks about with ap palling violence. Many were struck and maimed. At least one passenger; was killed by having his bead crushed . by f ying timbers. The survivors say that the officers of the steamer were brave and active in this crisis. I Captain Tay lor stood upon the bridge with Jthe chief omcer, urimths. Un an order (jrimths ran forward to superintend the launch ing of lile-boat No. 5, while Second Offi cer Langhorn was in charge of boat No. 3. The latter was successfully launched and filled with passengers. Then the hip went down and Langhorn 's boat was capsized. All in both boats are sup posed to have perished. I r i Capt. Taylor went down with the ves sel and as the vessel sank, he blew three blasts of the whistle as a good-bye sig nal. The engineers and; firemen went down at their posts. Night Clerk Berry was in bis room and went down with the vessel. Third officer Hanson: was among the saved. . He sprang from the snip as it went down and succeeded in reaching a piece of wreckage. There be clung for twenty-four hours, washed and buffeted bv the waves. He saw men and women sink about bim and was power less to render aid. He saw naked and mangled bodies tossing by and the hor ror of it made him sick. Hanson says that as the ateatner foundered her ers burst. ; boil- FATAL AFFRAY. J, B.
