Women did not tako precisely this Tiew of her merits; but then,*as wo all know, women are notoriously jealous. Still, e*en a vorv pretty girl may be con- sidered as abusing her privileges if she the engages herself to moro than two men at once. Now, this was precisely what Mist 4 Carmichael had done, and was not a little perplexed by the consequences of her rashness. Not only had she, un- known to and in disobedience of her peo- ple, kept on her engagement with Bcrtio Haselrig, of tho artillery, but to. plcaso her parents and also her own- ambi- tion, she had consented a month or two since to accept Mr. Lorimer, son and heir to old Sir James Lorimer. And now, to crown all, a fortnight ago, at tho Marsr dens' ball, Lord Linearrol had proposed) and tho had not been able to refuse hint Concerning Canto in Husclrig sho had little anxietv. as ho had gone to India on being forbidden the house by Mr. Carmf chaeT, who considered the handsome, im- ' pocunious toldier by no moans an eligible match for his only daughter and heiress. But it had taxed even ner ingenuity to koop Mr. Lorimer and Lord Liscarrol ig- norant of each other's claims on hor. Lorimer certainly did not suspect the cx- istanceof a rival + but Liscarrol had more than once resented tho airs of proprietor- tbip assumed by the former, and liad pressed Mitt CtrraicheaUo alloj/him ftt onct to ftpply to her fftthoft^Thls wat horribly perplexing. Mr. Carmichael was A wealthy, telf-mado man, whose fortune had tprung, at ho was only too fond of boasting, from tho traditional fourpenny-bit. IIo possessed ultra-radi- cal opinions, but in hit heart wat at fond of ft lord at most people, and Dora well knew Would havo boon at delighted at her latest conquest at she herself could have been. Still, tho felt convinced that hit word onco pledged, ho would not lot hor throw over Charles Lorimor, ovon for tuch a party ftt Lord Liscarrol. So sho told her lovor a doloful story of ttorn paronts, an unsympathetic suitor. And an oppressed daughter divided botwoen duty and dislike to the match proposed. rBut ere you engagod to that cub Lorimer?\ asked Liscarrol impatiently. \NoI O no! certainly not engaged; tat it Urery possible I might have bo- corns to to pleats dear papa, h*4 I not met you, M This, said with tho sweetest timidity and a- bashful look, hod tho full effect intended. . \Bot now, Vohr \Woll sow I must make the poor fellow understand it is imtfostiblit—givo him hit conge, in fact jo decidedly that even wlf-satisfled that he it, he can make no mistake, and then < aax papa at best I CAn.\ /etiilLitcAtrol insisted. . ' \But don't you tec, Ixwt Liscarrol— well, Arthur, then—that j if you go to E apA directly I haveient iff Mr. Lorimer, e will suspect what liajs occurred, and fwould not ncsltato to treat you in tho same way? For dowhat I will, I cannot help his considering me engaged to that horrid man.\ , ** '•Well, when will you glvo Lorimer his cogger ; \To-morrow mof ting. He is coming about tome botanical, tickots, and I will apeak to him then,\ \Very well, dearest; and I may look in to hoar tho result, may I not?\ And so it was settled. Still, it must be confosped, tho situation was a troub- lesome one, and sitting in tho library tho next day, Dora thought over hor plans rather anxiously. Mrs. Carmichael wnt, or fancied her- self, an invalid, and rarely ahowed before lunch (and not always thon, though ready enough] for her \social duties\ later in the dsjy), so her daughter was at full liberty to arrange matters at sho f jleased. Accordingly the told tho out- er that if Mr. Lorimer called, he wat at once to be shown into ner in the library, And if Lord Liscarrol should call In the meantime, fie wat to bo told that she would toon be disengaged, and be re- quested to await her In tho drawing room. Bp far so good. . But a r ng at the door-boll startled her from her reverie, and she waited expect- ing to see- Lorimer ushered in. Instead of that the visitor was ushered up stairs, and tho butler announced \Captain Haselrig.\ The blow almost staggered her, but pulling herself together, sho went into the drawing-room, and the next moment was clasped in Hunelrig'a arms. A few words aufllced to explain his pretence. The death of an old uncle, his godfather, had mude him master of a rather .valuable property, and on the strength of this improvement In his posi- tion the young man had at once rushed back from India, and,as he fondly hoped, .successfully to plead hit suit. , \VVhatever heart the ipossessed— it was little enough—belonged to Haselrig, and she Had felt genuine sorrow when her father so entirely declined his proposals, for a moment she wondered if •iUr ftU Hfttelrig's love might not be worth ft sacrifice. Of Lorimer tho did not think for one i econd, but sho did re- member Liscarrol, and this dampened her ardor. Haselrig wat handsomo and fairly rich now, bi t so was Lord Liscar- rol, and if her lovo for him was not to great at for Haffoirlg, sho adored his coro- net. So the old story was onco moro ro- tated, aud by its meant tho inducod Cap- tain Haselrig to forego his purpose of seeing hor father until sho horse if should g ive him leave to speak; and at last, to cr great relief, she tent him off, if not tatisiHcd, yet certaibly moro in lovo than ever. I During her conversation with Captain Haselrig, Dora's sharp oars had caught tho sound of tho door boll, to sho wat fully prepared to hoar that Mr. Lorimor wnt in tho library, and went to him at onco. But >vhat sho did not knpw, and in her hurry would not glvo tho butlor time to tell her. wot that Lord Liscarrol Jiad also arrived, and was at tho moment in tho morning room. Now Lord Lis- carrol wat not a particularly impatient man, but ho had ample time to ge^cx- tromoly tirod of waiting, and having ex- hausted tho paper, was beguiling his lcisuro by staring out of tho window, wjacn ho caught sight of Haselrig leaving tho house. \Bv Jove 1 there's Hatclrlg V ho ejaculated. \Why I thought he wftt in India I I must hunt tho dear old follow un. . How well he's looking, too 1 Hullo ! what's up now, I wonder i Voices loud, not to say angry, could bo heard in tho noxt room. \Hump 1 Lorimer get- ting his conge, I suppose Seems to bo catching it hot, too, poor beggar.

WORDS OF WISDOM. Wrinkles are tho tombs of. love. To makes pleasures pleasant shorten I say,\ ho muttered, \I can't stop here; I shall be hearing what thev say next min- ute.\ Leaving a messago that an appoint- ment unfortunately prevented his waiting any iqnger just then, but he hoped for the pleasure of seeing Miss Carmichael later in the day, Lord Liscarrol left tho house. ! fc Ten minutes latcf, stopping to look at a jowcler's window, a gentleman on leav- ing the shop bruahed past him. It was Haselrig. ', \Hullo I Haselrig, old follow, how came you to bo in town ?\ \Why Liscarrol, is that you f» The two young men shook hands vigor- ously. .\Which way aro you going ? To tho club ? That's right, so am I; como along,\ and the unconscious rivals walked slowly side by side down Pall Mall. Husclrig told of his accession of fortune; then added, with a conscious laugh: \JToct is, I'm tired of single blessed- ness, and am going to try matrimony for a change.\ \Congratulate you most heartily, my dear fellow,\ Lord Liscarrol't own hap- pincss rendered him very sympathetic. \Do I know the lady?\ j \I dare say you do; for the goes out i lot, And though her people Aro not ox- act ly all ono could wish, Dora herself it A darling l\ \O. called Dora, it sho?\ quoth hit friend, amused at the coincidence. \Pretty name, Dorft, my favorlto, I think.

The essential difference between a good and a bad education it this, that the former draws tho child on by mak- ing it swcot to hin\ the latter drives the child to learn,; by making it sour to him if he doet not. A fender-hearted and compassionate disposition which inclines men to pity and feel the misfortune of others, and which itr«*on for its own sake incapable of involving any maelin ruin and misery, is of all tempers of mind the most amiable; and, though it seldom receives much honor, is worthy of the highest. NEW YORK POLICE. HOW THE CTTtf'B DETECTIVE BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED. A Visit to Police Headquarters— Lost Children—A Detectlve'a Qual- ifications — Arranging A Tott —Inspector Dyrno'a Methods. Two green lamps at the door distin- guish the headquarters of tho New York police op Mulberry street. Tho Superin- tendent and detectives are located there and all tho mysteries of the department are brought there for solution., * Most of them get solved, but some remain mys- teries and nro put away in pigeon-holes to be burled in the dust of time. And yet there ii no air of mystery about the place. The paraphernalia of a detective bureau, such us .tho novels describe, is not seen, and nobody bobs up inexplica- bly from impossible traps or glides in through deceptive pnnols. In one of the outer rooms is the bureau for lost children under tho charge of a mlehacl— \Hero I *ay, hold on a bit, I'm getting mixed I What's tho young lady's namof Surely not Dora Carmichael?\ \To bo euro it is.

That, afternoon, having rccelvqd tho message Lord Liscarrol left with tho butler, Miss Carmichael waited im- patiently for tho young man. About ilvo o'clock a small parcel, brought by a commissionaire, WIIH given to her, and on opening it there dropped out a locket, two packets of letters and several photo- graphs, together with a slip of paper, on which was written: . \Returned with thanks.—Liscarrol, Bertie Husdlrig.\ There wis no mistaking the signa- tures. Sho had had a stormy scene with Lori- mer, who had entirely refused to take his conge quietly, and had forced her to listeu to some uncommonly plain speak- ing bcfoTe leaving, and she was thorough- ly tired out. When her maid, hearing a heavy fall, runhed ihto the room she found her mistress on the floor insensible. Luckily for Miss Carmichael, it was sufficiently near the end of the season to make her suddsn denature from town The Host Prosperous Tropical Island. Java it rocordod at the mott fertile and J irospcrous tropical island on the globe, t is south of Borneo, and tho fourth island of tho Mala van archipelago in size, having an area of 60,200 square\ miles. It is a colonial possession of Holland. The surfaco pf tho island is mountainous, A range of lofty peaks running from one end of tho islrnd to the other, and an] other range skirting tho south coast. All of these mountains are of volcanic forma* tion, and the e are on the island thirty- eight volcanoes, the most of them con- stantly active. Somo of tbq mott terrible eruptions on record have occurrod on this island. Between the peaks of the moun- tains in the central part of the island are several plateaus which are Tory fertile, and havo ft delightful climate, owing to their elevation above the hot districts of the shore. Along the north side of the island is A long, low, and Tory fortils plain. All of tho island is well watered. The seasons are two, the wet and tho dry, and tho temperature of tho: sland is Terr equable. All tropical fruits, birds and animals abound in tho lowl inds, and on tho high platoaus all grains [and fruits of temperate climatos can be 1 successfully raised. Java is ono of the principal coffee- growing countries in the world; sugar it noxt in importance; then comet rice, of which two crops aro annually raised; in- digo, pepper, tea, and tobacco aro also exported. Tho population of «-Javo it es- timated at over 17,000,000. About 80,- 000 Europeans rcsldo on tho island; there aro about 1U0,000 Chinese, and some 20,000 Arabs and other foreign Orien- tals; the rest are natives. The Javanese aro almost entirely occupied in agrlciil- turs. though they have somo knowledge of the mechanic arts, and make bricks and tiles, build bouses And boats, and work in metals with some skill. The women\ of tho country Also wesvssstout cot Urn cloth, snd make A coarse silk cloth from raw silk Imported from Chins! Tho ancestors ot tho present race of Jaw* ftriefto mutt have had .considerable knowl- edge ol architecture/ judging from the remarkable S|>cciac1o'oi ancient temples, most of them in ruins, to be seen through- out tho island, but this knowledge nss been entirely lost. The Javanese have made some progress in music, of which they are passionately fond, and thoy have both wind and stringed instruments. In religion tho Javaneso are Mohammedans, this faith having beon established among them bv the Arabs in the fifteenth cen- tury. Tho principal unit in Javaness politics is tho village, whose officers Atef all elected bj tho peoplo, and are onarged with tho collection of tho taxos snd the maintenance of public order. The native rulers aro allowed by the Dutch to retain their rank and nominal power as regents, but tho roal power is In tho Oqvernor General appointed by tho Netherlands Government, who is assisted by a Vice- President and a council of four, And has orders dlroctly from the King of Hol- land. — Inter-Ocean.

Little wanderers who havo toddled away from home in the wake of a processionlor a hand organ and lost sight of familiar objects, are picked up by the police every day. They seldom know where they live and frequently a youngster just big enough to go alono is found two or thrco miles away from home, having escaped the dangers of street crossings ana car tracks in some linaccountablo way. i When the distractod mother comes there is a scene. It is almost a waste of breath to tell her that tho child will be brought in before night. She knows he has becu itin over, has fallen iuto the river or has been kidnapped. It it tho tettlcd conviction of tho mothers that there aro bad people who do nothing but prowl about tho* ttrcett looking for a chance to steal stray children. It never occurs to her that it mutt be tome ex- traordinary purpose that would Induce A bad man to burden himself with thirty or forty pounds of helpless humanity, given over to habits of kicking, squalling and being hungry. She wants tho wholo de- tective forco turned out nt onco, tho hos- pitals searched and tho river-dragged from Harlem to tho Battery.

In ono side of tho office room aro two doors, behind which all that is secret in the work of the po- lice department is to be'found. One, door opens upon the stairs that lead down to the prison. It is an iron rulo of tho departmont that no person not connected with tho polico shall go down into that cell room. The prisoners at headquarters recoivo no visitors. A Polico Justice ii supposed to bo on duty in tho night at headquarters, but tho supposition if violently incorrect. ( Tho second door mentioned opons upon ft passage that loads from an anto-room to tho private office of Inspector jByrnos, ft largo, comfortably furnishedj room.

Ho got his eye on a man and tested the woman's memory in regard to him. The woman, before the Coroner's jury, testi- fied that she did not and could not rec- ognize nlm as the murderer. He bad not been arrested, was not present and did not know that he was suspected. After the woman had failed to identify him it would be useless to attempt to try him, even if sho should recognize him upon her evidence. A lawyer would rip ner testimony to pieces in no time. But the officer felt sure that be had spotted the man, and when he learned that the woman's memory was weak because she had been flushed, with wine when the thing occurred, he understood why the could be of no use as a witness. . \To satisfy himself, however, he Arranged a test with her help. . The siis- pectea man was a car conductor. Tho detective sent a friend down the line to board the man's car and ride up on the front platform merely as a sign. The woman and the officer rode in a cab to meet the car, and when it came in sight they f ot out of the cab and stopped the car. ho woman had been instructed in her part. Youknow when a women boards a street car she gathers up her skirts in front, stoops forward, bonds her head And steps in without looking up.

It edsts money and time to acquire tiat information. I know one of the men spont three weeks 4 time and $100 to get at tho truth about a person whom ho suspected of being crooked. He made'himself agreeable to a woman who could tell what no wanted to know, sent flowers! to frer, took hor to the opera and gave tier swell dinners.

All such expense are out of the detective's own pookct, and he re- gards the money as invested in good se- curities.

IWbffi this woman got upon the stto she glanced up at the conductor as if bv chance, She seemed to be about to look Awsy Again and go inside, but her roe .WAS suddenly arrested, AS if by A start* ling recognition, snd she looked the con* ductor full in the fsce with eyes wide open. The officer was watching (he man closely. The effect upon that conduetoi was startling. His kpecs gave way and he sunk backward over the daahpc, so that if A passenger had not seized nlm hs would have fallen. . His law, dropped and he turned pale. Grasping tho strap lie hung to it, while his knees literally knocked together, and his eyes became fixed and. glassy. The passengers thought he was ill and hastened to sup- port him. The officer snd the woman entered tho car and sst down, and the condition of that conductor during the rest of the trip was pitiable. Ho never entorod the car to collect fares from the detective. Althpugh ho did not know the latter, hcroallzod that something was wrong. \At tho end of the route the conduc- tor went to the oflico to tunr in his ac- count and the detoctlvo followed him and stood near him without laving a word. Tho man was greatly sgitated. Ono of the clerks spoko to another inside tho railing. Tho conductor thought the officer spoko, und turning around he gasped: 'Yes, I'll go with you.' He turned in his badgo and came to head- quarters. Now, that satisfied the detec- tive, but the evidence was in auch a shape that there was no possibility of a convic- tion. Besides, it was plain thAt the men had not tho least intention of killing when he struck the blow,.and again, a fine medical question would have been raised as to the actual cause of death. So tho case was dropped, and to the public it is one of the mysteries of New York. \ That private office of tho Inspector's would show some strange things if all the scenes that have beon there could < bo reflected from the walls again. Of \course the Inspector's methods are his own, and we do not talk about them, but I have his permission to tell you one or two things. A leader of a gang was held here for murder. Throe of his com* panions saw the murder, which was cruel and cpol-blooded, but they were cloae- mouthed. To prevent them from mak- ing any combine that would interfere wSh the work of getting evidence, they were all arrested on charges that were easily enough found ana locked up where they were safe and separate. The Inspector got the web woven about the murderer, but he wanted to flx It be- yond all ohance of failure by getting a confession. It ia not an easy thing to make a man put a halter round his own neck, but it has been done, \The window of the Inspector's room looks out upon a small courtyard. In- spector Byrnes sat with his back to that window, and tho murderer was brought in and given a chair facing the inspector and the window. The Inspector talked with the man, not about the crime, but the revolver with which it was committed, which was lying upon his deik. While they were taking and tho mop was look- ing out ofifthe window, a oloor at ono side of the court yard- opened. An officer came out, leading one. of the murderer's throe friends, crossed the court and disappeared through another leading to the prison. The man Watched them anxiously atfd the Iespector could seo that a vague fear hod come into his mind. Ten minutes later the door again opened and two more officers camo out with another of tho three, crossed the court silently and dlssappeared. The murderer's agitation increased. The In- spector went on talking about indifferent matters, pretending not to have noticed anything, although he knew by the man's face c^cry timo tho court yard door opened. The man ceased to pay atten- tion. Ho answered incoherently when spoken to. There was a tempest of terror sweeping through his brain. He was trying to comprehend the meaning of what was passing before his eyes. His imagination was at work conjuring up all manner of dangerous and fatal possibilities. Had his comrades given nim away? Were they arretted as wit- nesses or as accomplices? If the latter thev would surely sacrifice him to save their own necks. He was rapidly drift- ing into a panic. But tho Inspector talked on calmly and innocently. He was not trying to find out anything. All tho moro ominoua in the mind of tho murderer. Tho Inspector's absence of curiosity must mean confidence. \For the third time the dotor opened and the silent procession passed the window and disappeared. The third witness was led through by two police- men. The murderer could endure no more. Trembling with mortal terror, the cold sweat standing upon his fore- head, be threw himself at the impassive Inspector's feet and piteously begged the police official to save him from the gallows. He made a full confession and wat—hanged. * \Newspapers sometimes criticise In- spector Byrnes and say he ought to have been an officer of the Inquisition, but they are misinformed about what goes on in that room. Take tho Ungcr caae for example. Nobody outside of this office really knows how Ungcr's confession was obtained, j There were queer and unique things feoing on for about a week before Un^er weakened, but during that time not three words were spoken to him. He wanted to talk to defend himself, but nobody would givo him a chance. He was not even told what he waa arrested for, and not a word about tho murdor of Bohle was spoken in his presence. Ho was left alone with his conscience. Incidentally he kept running up against things that jogged his memory pretty severely. It it calculated to disturb a man to be called into a room and politely asked to sit down, and then to find that the only thing to sit upon is a sofa upon which he had placed the body of a man whom he had murdered. p The weapon with which you inflicted a deadly wound would be an unpleasant thing to como across unex- pectedly. Tho hatchet with which you chopped vour victim to pieces, would arouse reflections If placed mysterlotisly whore your glanco would fall upon it. You wouldn't like to walk isrto a room and see in the middle of the floor the bloody trunk that the murdered man hod- been packed In. ( \All those things, and twenty^ more, would produce an effect not exactly tranqullizing or reassuring. And if no* body spoke to you the silont horror of the situation can be imagined. If you were Innocent not ono of these occurrences would disturb you in the least. They would have rro meaning for you. No confession could be wrung from an innocent man by such means. But Unger confessed.\ Nothing had happened to break in up- on the reminiscent chat, and it was long after midnight.

They were carved out of the common rock of the island and somo are tolerably well chiseled. • Nothing is known as to the origin of these rude works of art and worship. As the present race has neither tools for such sculpture nor means of moving such hl^ge masses, it seems certain that they wove cut in some former age. Native tradi- tions give them a supernatural origin. It hat recently been conjectured that the ialand is the remnant of a submerged continent, and that these statues were made for idols by an extinct race.
