Tha German law now requires that contracts tor fntares in agricultural produots be made a publio record, nnd subjects all dealers in fntares to a substantial tax.

Many speaker*, employ ing the latter method, nrgaed very lucidly against the innovation. Only oue advocated it. The majority said thnt tbe rending of the lips ncvor give* to the deaf mate nn exaot idea of tho thought or sentiment which it is desired to express. It is to them very muoh as tbe reading of a dead language ie to those who oan hear, but oan only vaguely understand i t Tho digital language, thoy declared, was tbst whioh wns most natural to do if mutes. These views nre a groat dis appointment to many who have sup posed that the teaohing of the labial system wns on* of the greatest booms ever bestowed upou thoso who can neither hear nor talk. Tbe distinguished soicntist, Lord Kelvin, wbo has been termod the prince of living physicists,” ha* placed on reoord this confession: “On* word ohareoterise* tbe most strenuon* of tbe eflorta for the ad vancement of eoienoe that I have made perseveringly for flfty-flve yeara; that word i* failure. I know no more of eleotrio nnd magnetio force, or of the relations between ether, electricity end ponderable matter, or of chemioal affinity, than I knew and tried to tench my (Indents fifty years ago, is my first session a t professor.” Yet Light ning, n London pai>er, suggests that Kelvin's failures msy may be more fruitful than some men's successes. II likens the modern physioiat’a humility to tbst of the great Newton when he compared bimself to a child playing on the beech, and adds :' “ Tbe riddle ot tho universe ia scarcely nearer being solved now than it waa in 1696, and if our mathematical tools aro better tempered than those theu used, they bnvs tougher metal to out.” Spain it baring hor hands full with her colonies, exclaims the New York .

The original inhabitants havo almost ’ disappeared; and the Malays, who have to a groat degree taken their place, are for tbe most part qaiet, in- duatrioan, inoffensive people.

OW, Mury, 1 have spoken 1” Mr. Peel threw himsclt bock in his ohair oo if that settled the m a tter once for all. “ I h e a r d yo n , d e a r , ” s w e e t l y re sponded Mrs. P e e l ; “ a n d D o w , listen to me. I have accepted H err Schm idt's oiler, and bo -eill e n ter tho adjoining hoasj ns teu- nnt to-morrow.” “ Not if I know it, madam !” ahonted Phineas, jumping from his chair a u l bringing his fist down ou the tablo. “ Do you think I am goiug to have lihyd cottage turned into a menngerie, and my garden iuto a howling wildor- doss ? Tho bouse may remain tenant- less forever, but H e rr Schmidt and his monstrosities shall not enter there.” “ H err Schmidt, my dear, is moroly a naturalist. ” “ I know it! ” stormed Phiuens. “ I ’ve hoard of these plaguey natural ists before. I've uo desire to oorae downstairs somo line m o rning to find a ring-tailed monkey sitting on tho window sill, acting ns referee while the kangaroos und crocodiles play leapfrog over tho flower beds. No, madam I No naturalists for Phineas Peel I” P retty Mrs. Peel never allowed her tem p er to get the better of her. Sho laughed softly ut her husband’s fears, and did not a lter her determ ination in the least. “ Has it slipped yonr memory, Phineas,’’ she asked, “ that Rliyd out- tage is a portion of my property? If I ohoose to let it to a naturalist—even though he bo a foreigner—I am per fectly justified iu doing so.\ This was trne cnongb, and Phineas calmed down. “ Herr Hobmidt’s collection of ‘mon strosities,’ as yon call it,” went on Mrs. Peel, “ p robably oontaina n o thing moro dangerous than a death’s head moth lu a bottle. Anyhow, I hare no intention to disappoint him .” “ But 1 - ” “ Yon will treat him with the respect due from one gentleman to another, Phiuens,” broke in Mrs. I’ael. “ And now, dear, we'll dismiss the snbjeet.\ Phineas Peel was—though at times be doubted i t —a lucky follow. He had tarried off a young and haudsomo wo man from a host of suitors. Why Mary Marsdcn had chosen to bestow her baud and fortuao on snch a plain, everydav eort of fellow as the, diminutive Phineas Peel was always a mystery to ber acquaintances. The wedding was nn acoomplishod fact bo- fore her relatives bad recovered from the shook caused by the annonnoemcut of her engagement. Mary appeared to De h appy enough, too. Phineas, taken as a whole, was not a bad sort of fellow. He was jeal ous, that was true, bnt his wife oauie to regard that as an e x tra proof of his devotion. Had the proposed tenant of Rhyd oottsge been au aged, decrepit, broken-down ohbhian, Phiuens would have stretchod out tho right hand of fellowship. But alas! H e rr Schmidt was young aud handsome—far too handsome, Phineas thought. “ Yt-ry well, Mnry,” said Phineas, taking his hat from tho peg aud m ak ing for tho door; “ you have over ruled me as usual, aud must bo pre pared for the cousequeuoes. In less than a week we shall havo tbe I ioubc and garden overrun with every con ceivable variety of reptile—from the beastly lizard to the boa c o n strictor.\ And Phineas stalked indignantly forth witb tbe merry langhter of his wife ringing in his curs. A month or more had passed, and so far the fears of Phineas had proved to be groundless. H err Schmidt's “ m o ustrosities” hud been kept well within bounds, and as yet Mr. Peel had not seeu so much ss a strange c a t erpillar ia his garJcD, which never looked better. However, be was n o t happy. Ho hn 1 taken an aversion to the new tenant from the tire!, and wonld never be satisfied until he had got rid of him. “ Confound tho fellow,’’ m a tters 1 Phineas one evening, as be sat on an upturned bucket b ehind the pcastioks, “ he's prowling about on tbe other tide of tbe licjga again. Hope he won't catch sight of me, for Pm about tired ot hi, oily touguo aud eternal smile. Hullo! what the deuce is tbe meaning of this? Dowu the garden path tripped Mrs. Peel. Tbe naturalist was evidently expecting ber, and greeted her with a smile tbat almost brought tears int.) tbe eyes of the furious Phineas. “(.loot cfening,” he sail. “ Yon VO, jooat a leetle late!\ It wa? soou evident that this was not the first chat indulged in over the boundary hedge. Though Phineas strained his ears, be could not catch thv drift o f the conversation. Liko » flash he remembered that Murv had often ot late tsken a stroll m the gar den at dusk. Was this tbe explana tion ? Phineas bad heen glaring at the couple from behind the peasticks for ten minutes or so, wheu he so* his wife take a rosebud from bis favorite .tree and baud it ou r the hedge with a charming smile t * thi- delighted Herr Schmidt. Then, with a pleasant “ G ood night” Mrs. Peel tripped light ly into the bouse. “ You villain !\ low. Phineas sav- ag«ly, jam i iug fr.-m hi? seat and shak ing his fist after the retreatiug figure in tbe next g arden, “ i ’ll pay yon out for th i s ” Tbe rage ol Mr. Peel was something to be remembered. Nothing but'blood, he Vowed, would obliterate bis wrongs. But k* would be esutioao. He would e id sa il s cud m u rder while he Seizing a pea?tick he tragi cally b a t t e d i t I* th* h a r t o f offending cabbage, and played havoc with a stately row of sunflowers. Half an hour later Mary saw him take down a huge old-fashioned duck gun from the hook in the hall. “ T h ere’s a German vulture in tbe neighborhood,” he volunteered im pressively, “ and I ’m going to bag him at tho first opportunity.”- However, as nothing Bbort of an earthquake wonld have induoed tho old gun to go off in any oircninttanccs —aud Phineas had made assurances doubly sure by dropping in the shot first and powder afterw a rd—the “ v u ltu r e ’ in question was eot likely to bo seriously damaged, and Mary oontented herself with expressing n hope that her husband wonld uot hurt himself. Oa tbo following evening Phineas took np his old p o sition iu tbo garden, with m nrder iu his heart. Herr Schmidt, however, did not pat in au appearance. After waiting some time, Phineas re-entered the house nnd reared his dnck gun up in the hall in a conspicuous position. He had almost decided to ran up to town and consult his brother John, the detective, with a view to having the movements of H e rr Schmidt watched, when he was sturtled by the click of the letter box. A scrap of paper lay on tbe mat. Picking it ap Phineas glanced at it, turned deadly pale, then hurried into the garden. Scribbled in lead pencil on dirty paper was the following: “ Peel has discovered everything. We have not a moment to lose and mnst olear oat to-night. The front door is unsafe. Wilt meet you at the back—10.30 s h a rp.” There was no signature. “ J o o d gracious!\ ejaculated Phineas, after reading the note for thu third time. “ I ’d no idea matters hail gono so far. Oh, yes, Mr. Schm idt,” he added grim ly—“ I ’ll moot you at 10.30 s h a rp.” It was about 10.15, and raining heavily. Phineas Peel, seated ou a wall overlooking the back of Kbyd cottage, witb bis dnck gun laid across his knees, was beginning to feel un comfortable. “ The note said 10.30,” ho m attered. “ It must bo after that timo now. W h at’s th a t?” Phineas had oanght tho sound of heavy foet moving cautiously over tbe gravel. Uo grasped his gun and peered into tho gloom, but could dis tinguish nothing. Suddenly he heard voices, evidently at the front of the house. Ho was about to qnit his position under the impression thnt H e rr Schm idt wns leaving by the front door nfter all, when oue of tho back windows was oautionsly raised and the lithe form of the naturalist dropped lightly to the ground. Crcoping along the sido of the wall on which Phineas lay, he p resented an excolleni mark. Mr. Peel, however, could not bring himself to shoot a man down in oold blood. He wonld give him a ohanoe. “Stop, yon scoundrel I” he ahonted. The effect of the obnllengo was scarcely what Phineas had anticipat ed. Herr Solimidt darted forward and seized tho barrel of the gan. He was much the stronger of the two, and Phineas was p u lled from tho wall in a twinkling. Lying oa the broad of his back on the gravol, iu a half dazed oondition, ho saw the tall form of Schmidt standing over him with tho gnn raised. “ Keep y o u r tongue still, yon fool,” ho hissed, “ o r I'll brain yon. Now, quick, help me over the wall.\ Phineas hesitated, but tbo threaten ing attitnde of the other induced him to rise. However, he had no intention of giving in. Obeying his instructions, he caught hold of Hohmidt’s foot to give him “ a leg up.\ Before the naturalist could grip tbe typ of tho wall, however, Phineas saw his o p p o rtunity. Bracing himself for the effort, he oxorted ull his strength and pulled Schmidt bodily from the wall. Ho fell fiat on his face, and before he coaid re cover himself Phineas jumped on Itis hack and seized him round the throat, omitting a yell that wonld havo. dona intinito oredit to a Sioux Indian. The next moment Phineas was dragged oil' from behind, and found himself iu the clutches of a b u rly mem ber of the local police force. Foar.or five others seized Schmidt, who struggled in vain to fIRe bimself. “ What am I arrested fcr?\ ga«ped Phineas. \T h e re's yonr ihau I” Phineas would, no doubt, bave been led off with the other prisoner bnt for tbo timely arrival ou the eoene of the last person in tile world he had ex pected to see—his brother J o h n I \H e re, what on e a rth is the mean ing of all this?” ho demanded when, os the result of John Peel's interfer ence, he found himself free. John ?tnyed behind a m innte or two to cxplum that Herr Solimidt, tbo “ n a turalist,\ and Edward H a rper— Iho notorious forger wbo bad defied New Scotland Yurd for tha past six weeks—were ono aud the same. \ I t was a smart dodge of H a rper’s,\ said John l’ccl,” and bo might havo got clear away but for that clever wife of youra, Phineas. Mary sus pected tbe man from the first, and supplied me from time to timo with valuable information. It ia to her entirely that the credit of tho capture is due. Tell her I'll call round and thank her myself to-morrow. By tho by, the gang of whicb he was the head got win 1 of o u r intentions, and a man was despatched with a warning. H a r per doesn't appear to have re ceived it.\ Then Phineas begau to anderstand things a little more clearly. , ‘1 suppose this wdl be it,” lie re marked, jvo.lncing the note and hand ing it to his brother. “ Yon seo, t h , messenger iett it at the wrong door, and I —er —I thought I m ight as well see the fun. ” For some 1;ttie time after Phineas w.is of the opinion that he had ma le a fool of himself. Lately, however, he has taken a different view of the mat ter, and is never t i r e l of relating how lie literally “ d ropped on” H a rper, tho forger, alias SehiniJt, tbe naturali?t, next door.—Cassell's .Saturday Jo u r nal.

THE NEWEST THTNO IN PUNCHES. The latest “ fad” is to issue invita tions for a meal called “ b runch.” This means a repast at 11 o’olock a. m., which is supposed to be the mid day tim e'between breakfast and lunch. Fashion may bo foolish, but it ib q u ite safe to statu th a t if the free lunch had not been knocked out by the Baines law such nu epicurean idea wuuld never have been thought of. the SHonr amp. Tho short girl has everything on her side so far as the men nre concerned; a man feels immediately nt oase witb a short girl, and to most meu that is half the battle. Tho tall girl may be moro imposing, but she cannot coax and pout, and flounce into pretty pas sions with the same execution ns the short girl. No man likes to feel him self dwarfod by comparison with the girl he is fond of, and here again the small woman has a decided advantage. The short woman ncois a protecting arm in a crowd, and she does nut take np so much room in the street cars. THE DAINTY TTl'EWBtTERS. Nositly every tyjiowriter girl kcops a pair of curling tongs in her desk drawers, and the smartest of them a eunniug little alcohol lamp, too.

A beautiful and unique wedding oc curred recently iu tiie mountaiu town of Rockland, Snllivau Couuty, N. Y., tho details of which have just rcaohed the outer world. The ceremony was perform o d in the woods at Clear Lsko Cottage, near Beaverkill, by the Rev. Thomas K. Beecbor, of Elmira, N. Y., a brother of the late Henry Ward Beecher, and the Rev. A. F. Eastman, also of Elmira. Tho briilo was Miss Theresa C. Hall, who bas spent the most of hor summers at this spot, and tho bridegroom, Lyman A’. \V. Brown, a Californian, who is a great lover of nature and outdoor life. Tho spot chosen for the wedding was ou tho wooded shores of the lake, where encircling trees and vines formed n natural audience chamber, around which rose sloping banks of ferns nnd shrubs. A company of about twenty friends nnd relatives embarked in small boats about fi o’clock in the afternoon and wero rotvod to this beautiful place. Tha two m inisters stood on tho mossy carpet in tho centre of the spot, with tho friends groupod around them. Tbo brido and groom cumo dowu n path through tho woods and took tbeir positions before tho ministers, aud the nuptial vows were taken. Congratulations ami good wishos were showered upon tho newly m a r ried pair as thoy stepped dowu to the shore. Tho brido took her seat iu the bow of the boat, whilo tbo husband plied the oars, aud thoy were soon out of aight. It was a so?no never to be forgotten. It presented n picture of an ideal m ar riage, celebrated iu an ideal war, and in keeping with tho simple tastes and high ideals of the brido and groom .— New York Herald.
