Flavsl Mines, in Harper's Weekly. Oalcatroui's Eevcue. Of course you remember that affair which caused so much gossip, four or five years ago, at the wedding of Antonin Leroux, the banker's son, and Mademoi selle Combe aux Fontaine?. Leroux had formerly been associated with an Italian count named Calcatroni, who was ofteu numbered among the banker's guosts. He ii seen t'lere no more, however. There were rumors afloat casting doubt oq the solvency of the b.ink, and mauy persons predicted that the mar riage would never take place, yet it did, and the pTeseats were magniflceat. Among the guests was an otd frieu l of the family, the learned Desrochej, libra rian of the Garde Meuble, a mia who?e position obliged him to cultivate two very difTereat qualities; it w-a nec33 sary for him to be at the sa na time the most courteous, and tae most suspicious of men, to treat every reader in the library as a brother in science, au c tcemed friend, but a man who must bo closely watched, and whose pockets must be probed with a glance. "I kno.v many good womru and honest men," he ofteu said, "but there is no human bciug oa earth who is not, at some tini3 of life, tempted to walk oil with a valuable book." To return to the wedding. Oa leaving the church the bridal party and guests went to Madame L?rouxs home where a collatioa was served. In one of th parlors the presents were oa exhibition, according to a despicable custom which forces every guest to contribute with a generosity often involuntary. Among the jewelry was a diamond necklace, the gift of the bridegroom's father, which attracted every eye, and put to flight all doubts a? to the state of the banker's finances. It cost tea thousand crowns at tho lowest estimitiou. While every one was busily engaged in tho dining-room a suaden clamor arose, and a whisper passed lrom one guest to another. "The diamond necklace is stolen!'' Mr. Leroux behaved like a true aristo crat. When the catastrophe was reported to him he turned red in tun face lor au instant, but recovered himself immedi ately and said in a tone of calmness. "Do not excite yourselves, my Irieads, a mere money loss is not a mortal wound. I do not want a trifling disappointment to cast a gloom over a day like this. My dear children, may this slight and unfor st?ea shadow be the only one to fall across your life's pathway!" "lie is a plucky dog," muttered u philosophical guest, but all felt the situation a paiuful one, and most of the guests bieathed more freely oa findiui; themselves outride th-i houv:. In tea minutes the rooms were empty, and then a servant informed Mi. Lerous that a gentleaian wished to speak to him in the library. Hurrying in, he fouad Deroehes, who was evidently much ex cited "Mr. Leroux," said the old librarian, "the duties of my profession have caused me to acquire the habit of watchiag the people round me. I saw the diamond necklace stolen. The thief is a man of about fifty, tall, slim and very darlc. He must be a friend of yours for I noticed him shakiug bauds with you repeatedly ia the sacristy, after the marriage. 1 have been foUorfiug him aad was about GOLDSBORO, N. C, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, to speak to him when we were separatea by the crowd ia the street and he got into a cab and escaped me. I took the number, howerer, and you will hare'no dirnculty in tracing the fellow. Of course I shall be delighted to testify. Shall we we go to the police at once if' At tho last words Leroux sprang up and stood barring the door, as if hi thought Desrochcihimstlf the thief. "Wait a minute,please,"he exclaimed, "I think I know the person rou sus pact " "S.ispect? The deuce!" interrupted Desroahcs, "I tell you I saw it. Thanks to a minor, I distinctly siw him put tho diamonds into his pocket. Ho will leep ia jail to-night, that U, if ha is sleepy. Only, we must not lose any time." "I beg your pardon, Mr. Desroches, the unforlunate wretch will sleep ia lib own bed. I am not very intimate with him, but we once had business relations with each other. I do not, chooso tc iennre,"i u tne ouice or tQe i-rareot ot I'o.iue, and reported the theft, giving all the dfctaiU possible, and then went home vita a lightered conscience. The next ny Leroux was visited by an officer, 1 " K'jin'j the librarian's eig prosecute him. 'i'aerer ore, Monsieui you saw nothing, do 3-011 understand? Accept my thanks for your trouble.'' Desroches left the house in a state ol amazement. Such magnanimity seemed to him to savor of complicity, and after thinking the nntter over carefully, he nature, he clinched his list. :m. wished hi oiiieious friend with the Fur ies. He declared his intention of mik ing no complaint in the matter, and dis missed the officer. Five minutes later he was in secret council with Coiadart, manager of the best detrctive agency in Paris. He stated the oae in a few words, and his listener added "And you wish us to keep watch oa the Count," "Yes," replied Leroux, "you are to , watch, but not to arrest him; oa the contrary, you are to prevent his being arrested. Au idiot of a man has gone and put the police on his track." Coin dart took notes iu shorthand, and Ler oux added uneasily, "It probably seems strange to VOU " "Nothing seems strange to me," in terrupted the detective, "iad this is not the first time I have had such a charge. If the public knew all our secrets they would be less astonished at the failures of the police to make arrests. I under stand you wish our gentleman to be put to no inconvenience whatever." That evening, Calcatroni, oa leaving the opera house,stopped a minute to take out a cigar and was accosted by a stron ger, who asked the favor of a light. He had the air of a perfect gentleman, and raising his hat politely, he said : "Count Calcatroni, if you thing of going to your home now, I advise you to change your plans, or within fifteen minutes you will be seated m a cab be tween two police orlicers. You would do better to come and spend the night with me. And, by the way, where are tho diamonds?" The Count was astonished. After a pause he said, haughtily: "You carry the joke too far. who are you?" 'Atairy,a guardian angel, ''replied Coia dart. "Your friend Leroux has commis sioned me to watch over you. If you do not believe me, walk a little farther and yoti will see two men near your house awaiting j-our return." "I will go with you," said Calcatroni, "and explain matters oa the way. It was a debt of honor, fifteen thousand francs lost at cards, which 1 was obliged to pay to-day. I have pledged the dia monds for that amount, bat will soon re turn them, Leroax need have no fear. Dear fellow, how kind he is to his old chum! Express my gratitude to him." A week later when the banker received the message he said : "I am willing to forgive him if he will give mo bick the diamonds at once." "He cannot do that, for he has pawned them for fifteen thousand francs," said Coiadart, and his hearer exclaimed: "Pawned theni for fifteen it is im possible!" "They are worth more?" "Suppose the broker should sell them!" cried Lerour, wildly. "Oh, Coindart, I beg you, find out his name forme!" The next morning, instead 0 Coia dart, the Count himself called at the banker's house and proudly presented his card. He wa3 not kept waiting a min ute, and when the two mea mit no one would have thought that it was Calca troni,for whom the police were looking. "It is true that you are iu great dis tressr" he said in a distant toae,aad Le roux stammered out a reply, which hi3 visitor interrupted with: "For a week I have imagined that friendliness toward me prompted you. Bat now I know why you did noi wish the police to know of your transactions. This morning I did what I never before thought necessary believing you to be au hoaest maa I examined tha dia uiouds." "Then yeu did not pawa th?m?" cried L3roux, joyfully; aad ths other- ua swered seorafa'.ly: "Pawned thtni, sir! Siace when have geLilemeu tried to raise money oa bits of glass?" Leroux fell into au armchair, trembling ia every limb. "You thought to deceive every one, did you not?" continued the Count. "And in order to conceal the gulf about to swillow your patrons' fortunes you stooped to decorate your son's bride with worthless glass-ware! Iarn now going to the Prefect of Polic3 to expose your machinations; I do not fear arrest, for a maa cannot be punished for stealing rub bish. To-morro,7 a crowd of depositors will besiege your Lank and demand their money. " "Have pity on in;!" criad Leroux. ' "Do not go! What will you take to kejp silence if" "Fifteen thousand frane?," repliel Calcatroni promptly. "If I speak, yoar diamonds will cost you more than that." I never heard how Leroux raised the money, but after somo aslay Calcatroni put it in his pocket and left thu housa with the air of a maa who had performed an act of justice. Oa his way home ha posed a letter for Mr. Leroux. It was addressed to the Prefect of Polic9, and stad that the lost necklace had just been fouad behind a piece of furniture where it must hive fallen. The bank er's business has improved 9inea then, his daugater-ia-law wears a nesklacs of rel stones, but when any ona speaks of the Leroux family, Count Calcatroni says, graudly: "I do not visit thes3 people."

In a shop in New Orleans is now 01 exhibition an automatic money-changer, the invention of a liveryman of that city The device looks like an ordinary box o rosewood with slightly curved top, am ornamented with sundry bits of plate glass. In the front of the box is a com partment containing a bell and a serie of small zinc boxc-9 containing compart ments regulated in size to meet th demands of the money to be placed ia th machine for chauge-makiug purposes The backs of these cells are closed with moveable strip of metal, which slide down when the machine is in operation These stripes slide between the cells which are set ona slightly inclined plane an1 a large bow -shaped receptacle. At tached to the strips are small batteries four in number, the armatures of whicl rest against the back of the metal bands In the front part of the machine is : small moveable arm, fitted wi:h a slot The money to be changed is placed ia th arm, which is pushed back, allowing th coin to drop into the interior of th machine. By a clever contrivance thr coin, no matter what its denominatioi be, strikes the set of cells in which it change rests and causes the magnet t( draw away the slide which holds the coii in place. As sooa as the armature i pulled back the metal backing to tht small division is dropped oaa peg aid the change which was iu the compart ment slides down the inclined base and drops through the horalik arraagim? it into a receptacle below, waert it n accessible to the clerk.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. BRITTLE HOOFS. Dry weather is a cause of the bnttle ness of the hoofs, but this may be caused as well by an inflammatory condition of the system. The inner part of a horse's hoof is exceedingly tender and sensitive, and sympathizes immediately with any diseased condition of the animal. The horn contains a large quantity of water, and this is driven off when the foot is in a feverish state, thus causing the brittle ness. First, this condition is to be changed by cooling medicine. Give a polled of epsom salts, which is better than oil in this ease. Repeat if neces sary. Give cooling, laxative food, and keep the system in an open condition. To run on a damp pasture will be use ful. The shoes should be removed and the hoofs pared, and whea the horse is in the stable the feet should be kept in linseed poultice. The frog must not be pared at any time, New York Times. C3EA.M RAISING. By far the greater proportion of butter is still made from cream, raised by set ting the milk. There is always some loss, and generally a good deal of loss, in raising by giavity process. Ice water will, however, enable the skillful dairy man to beat the careless hand with the separator. Cornell University, in New York, experimented to ascertain which method gave best results. Balletiu No. 30 says: "Where the milk was set iu the Cooley creamer with ice water at a temperature of forty-four degrees, the average per cent, of fat in the skim milk was .23; where milk was diluted with au equal weight of cold water and set iu the open air, the average per cent, of fat in the skim milk was 1.3d; where milk was diluted with twenty aad fifty per cent, of cold water, the average per cent, ot fat in the skim milk was 1.21; where milk was diluted with tea to 100 per cent, of its weight of hot water, iho average per cent, of fat iu the skim milk was 1.11; where milk was set in deep can3 without dilution, iu running water at sixty to sixty-three degrees, the aver age per cent, of fat in the skim milk was .69; where milk wis set in shallow C9ns, at sixty and sixty-four degrees, the aver erage per cent, of fat in the skim milk was .48; where milk was set m shallow pans and one-third of its weight of water, at 120 degrees added, the per cent, of fat in the skim milk was .75.i??nZ Life. IMPROVED EMCLSJON. Last year, writes Professor A. J. Cook, the Arkansas Experiment Station recom mended a modified kerosene emulsion, found superior to tho usual kind. A kerosene extract of pyrethrum made by filtering one gallon kerosene through two pounds of the powder i3 used instead of the pure kerosene. Dissolve one quart softaoap or one pound hard soap in two quarts of water. While still hot add one pint of the kerosene extract of pyrethrum, and violently agitate till a perfect emulsion is formed; properly done, the material will look iike ere i n tad the cil will never separate oa staid ing, even though diluted. To emulsify, we must agitate the mixture violently. This is best done by pumping back into the liquid easily doae with a cheap dollar pump; cannot be done by stirring. Thu is more powerful than the simple kerosene emulsion and is safe oa all foiiago when diluted to a one-twelfth mixture, while oae-flfteeath mixture is as stroag as is safe to use iu case of tho regular keios-euc mixture. We diluted the softsoap emulsion by adding as much water, an J the uardsoap by adding twice as much water as we took of the emul sion .

Economy is no relative of stinguesa, though some people seem to think thea brothers. It is not a good plan to keep pullet3 and old hens, fat and lean hens all to gether. They do not require the same food and will do better separate. If aDy farmers have gathered a short hay crop, there is yet time to supplement the pasture by a little "soiling" cora or millet. Be vigilant, however, or it may be too late. Speculation is as dangerous to the far mer as it is to the city man. Getting into debt to buy more land or more im plements is generally spacalatioo. It is a variety of fo d rather than large quantity that fowls require. More caro is ntvessary iu this respect when they are CDnrined than when given a good range.
