And no wonder; for in the whole six months of their married life George bad never kept a secret from hia wife. But at last tempta-tion assailed him and be had succumbed. George entered the pleasant, cosy sitting-- , room, and as he mopped the from his faoe he perspiration heard the bird-lik- e voice of his wife, gayly trilling a few notes of the Opera they had heard together the night before, as she prepared the table for the evening; meal. I "Oh, she doe not suspect If she only knew I" His wife heard his step and came rush-lu- g into the room to greet him. "Oh, George, the day has been so long l d 1 have been so lonely without you," she murmured as she pillowed her head upon his breast . "And you look so tired and worried, too, George; tell me all and let your little wife share with your anxieties and your soiw rows, as a good wife should." , George could stand It no longer. He sank upon his knees at her foet and clasped her cool, white bands in hia throbbing palms. "Anesthesia, my own, forgive me," he cried in choking accents ; "I have kept secret from you." Auasthasia's willowy form trembled from the intensity of her emotion, but she did not weep nor faint. "Oh, George I" she cried, in reproachful, mournful aoceuts, and her lip quivered. "Anasthasia, darling, let nie confess all and ease my aching heart I I bought a lottery ticket last night. There, you know all now. Deal with me as you will." Anasihasia's answer a caress. "George," she said, slowly and distinctly.. "I forgive you. What was the number!" "It was 27,S4tt." "OU, Ooorgel I dreamed lust nlglitthat you bought a ticket and that it drew t5,0UU. Five thousand dollars. Just think of it. Why, we will bo rich I" George heaved a sigh of relief. He thought the worst was over. "I tuink we d better buy a house." "Oh, George, you don't mean it We can get eight per cent, for it at interest and then lean have a new sealskin sacque." "Anasthasia, my dear, I don't like to pay rent Now, you see" "George, I think you are real meau. You know I want the saociue so bad," and coral lip began to pout and the suspicion of a tear floated tn the eye near-est George. "Mrs. Bwimple, I want to do what is best. Even with 15,000 we can not be extravagant. When we own a borne, then" "l'U hear no more, Geoige Washington Bwimple.

The Czar will not visit Den-mark this Summer. The Unfortunate"Thingvalla" Again has a Collision. Translated for the Register. The latest news from Copenhagen is to the effect that the Czar will not visit Denmark this summer, and that the r.yal family tlterelore are preparing to make Henisio, (a much smaller place, but nearer to the capital) their summer residence. This is, no doubt, due to a plot against the life "f the Czar, which has been discovered to exist in Paris and other places. BEER DRINKING SOCIALISTS IN It is rumored, that the socialists intend to buy the Marstraud brewery; wh;ch it one of the largest in Denmark. As an offset to this move among the laboring classes, who are striving to get cheaper beer, all ihe other brewenes in Copenhagen have consolidated their interests, for mutuiil protection cl the immense profits which ihey derive from ihe beer-drinki- populace. r.joo masons and 1,000 tenders (labor-ers) have struck for higher wages and a reduction to 9 lion is as a dav's work. This has caused a great deal of trouble already; and it is leaied, will lead to other strikes in Ihe near lutuie. The unfortunate steamer "Thlngvalla has again had a collision, but this lime she siruck an iceburg. It will be renieni-bere- d, that about iwo years ago she came in collision with ''Geyser," anoiher emi-giai- it sieamer belonging to the same company, and that Geyser went to the ; oitom with ueaily all on board. We copy from Nord. Dlotter, German New Yoik paper: With her bow stove in, the emigrant steamer "Thingvalla" armed on Mon-day. She left Copenhagen, May 6th., Christi.iuia Ihe 8th mid Cluistiansaiid the. 9th ol the same month, witli about 500 passengers on board; and took the usual course Norlh of Scotland, encountering several heavy gales, till she had Cume within about 400 miles East i t St. Johns, Newfoundland, and was now in the misty that 111. ikes these waters so dangerous. It was in the li ght between the iSlh and 19th of May; and Capt .in I.awb bad jast lam down to rest, leaving the second mate in chaige ct tiie vessel, while a man by the name of I'eler Andieas was oil tile I ink m: . i'eter soon discoveied some-thing mvs erunts - took to be m st, but afterwards' luind lo be an icebuig, though too late to avoid it, or irive ai.y alaiui; and the next 111 mem came the dieadfnl rras.li, which made the ship shiver 111 every pait of its coi struc ion. Tue cap ain, tushiiig on tiie coinoiandeis bridge, at once ie.il. zed the state of atfiirs; bui, as t:ie male' had alieady cau.-e- d the engines to Ue reveis-ed- , the vessel was ihen slowly moving back. The passengers came rushing on dtck, terror-strike- by the shock lhat had awakened ihem Irom their slumber, but by the captain's placid manner and pasifjiiig assurances that all immidiaie danger was over, a panic with its serious consequences was prevented. Tho the bow was knocked 111, yet the danger was all above the water-line- , and ilie'ciew were at once set to woik at repairing the breakage- - as best tliey cculd with the material on hoard. First an immense lol of ice that bad fallen on the deck from the iceberg had to he removed, and afterwaids a' kind of patch was made of timber and tightened with cement and fixed on the inside. This took about 16 bonis of haid woik to accomplish; but fortuualely enabled the captain to leach New York in safely. 300 reindeers were lately bought in Lapland for transportation to mre Southern paits ol Norway. These, to ihe Laplanders, indisp?nsible domestic animals live 011 Ihe scantiest of fodder, which mostly consists of mosses, that grow on the mountains, and which they, duihg the greater part of tha year," must tiiid i y scraping the snow away with' their large shovel-- I ke horns. 1 hey will iherefi re on the more Southern mountain- -range find it much easier to make a living, and therefore also be of greater benclit to their owner in comparative-ly milder climes. This large held uf reindeers was driven through Guld brandsdale and Valders and were even-tually destined to settle down in Tele-mmke- Two Laplanders were in charge of the herd. That Norway also has, wealthy men, is proven bv the assessment-rol- l in Christiansund, a small city in the princi-pal fishing district. Knutzen of that town pays in lax annually 41,851 crowns out ol his property, tint is assessed for 4J millions, and which brings him an iiinual inc jnie of 336.000 crowns. His tax is actually one fourth of the taxes derived from the entire city. Another wealthy man has lately lost 70,000 crowns, by being security ior other parties. That Norway exports a great deal ol lumber and fish, is well known, but thai horses and sluep are exported 011 quae a large scale is perhaps not generally known, llius one steamer brought a dock of 1700 sheep over to England, and the same firm was buying several bun-dled horses for the sani; purpose. The King of Sweden, Oscar ind, is a man of learning and perhaps one of the greatest scieniiests in Europe.

What" Dealer In Opines Knows from Long Experlenoa. onM Docs Bark la BaamtM, Sam Out of itlOB. and Soma Don't Bark at All Good Polnu of tha Bull Tarrlar ad tha Sky Terrier. "But I am Hot lookioj for eur,'' snapped the lady. "If I waa I should not come to you. I could net all I wanted for nothing." "You can hare this one for nothing-- , ma'am," said tha liberal dealer. "And if he does not suit you I shall not ask you to bring him back. Just leave the basement door open and set the house cat at him. I'll warrant you'll see him no snore," The lady, says a New York Sun reporter, wa offended. She picked up ber reticule, which she had deposited on a chair, and haughtily swept out of.the store. The dealer politely ;held tbe door open and allowed a vagrant yellow and white cur tofollow her. He watched them until they disappeared in the crowd. oThen he turned to the reporter, who had silently witnessed tbe interview. "She would have given me live dollars for that dog," he said, "If I bad told her he was well bred. Boa Is one of the many people who fancy that the watch dog Is of a peculiar species. Of course, anybody who has the slightest practical knowledge of dogs is aware that they are all watchers. They are the lightest of all sleepers, and are very vigilant and quick to detect a strauge footstep in or near the house. The only difference in their mode of watching lies in their action after they are aroused. The common cur, auch as the one who has just gone out with tbe lady, is by far tbe ' most watchful, but he will bark furiously at any thing; and it is not the pleasantest ' thing imaginable to have tbe house dis-turbed every time a belated man passes it in the night. But tbe barking dog is the'i one that most women want. They ' have a horror of an animal that bites, and only aesire to be notified when a robber is about to enter or has already entered the bouse. Then they can put their beads under the bedclothes and pray that the burglar may be satisfied with stealing every thing he can find outside of their door, and go away without entering their apartment. ' Of course, this end might be achieved with much greater personal comfort in the ab-sence of the dog, when they could sleep through the danger, instead of lying par- - alysed with terror; but they can't realise that, and always value a dog in proportion to the noise he makes. "The bull terrier is a capital watoh dog. Be never barks, because he feels that he can deal unaided with any burglar; and In nine eases out of ten he is right It is all tooth with him, and a robber rarely knows that he is present until he feels him. But in this line of business he is not a favorite with refined people. You see, there are no bounds to the ferocity of a bull terrier when he Is once aroused, and the lifeless body of robber la an unpleasant thing for tbe servants to find on a kitchen floor when they Rt up tn the morning. I onoe sold a good bull tarrim- - e widow of clergy, man. She lived in a lonely bouse in West-cheate- r County, and before aha had owned the dog a week a burglar climbed through the basement window. He saw the terrier in the dining room, and managed to clamber up on the high mantelpiece. It was a bit-terly cold night in and he clung there, shivering for several hours, while the dog hungrily licked his jaws underneath. The lady kept no servant, and when she entered the room in the morning she was at first terribly frightened; but the fellow told her such a pitiful story of bis sufferings that she was moved to compassion. She gave him two dollars and a good breakfast, and allowed him to go sway. Then she sent the dog back to me, advising me to shoot him, aa such aavage. remnmelnm bruto was clearly unfit to live. Bull ter-riers and the widows of clergymen have no common ground upon which tbeyeaa arnica bly meet. "I doubt, too, whether bull terriers, faith-ful, brave, strong and watchful as they are, have rery much intelligence. Certainly they nave not as much as the Scotch or the Bkye; I mean the big silky-haire- d Skye, from which the delicate little thing, like a miniature portrait of his an-cestors, has been bred for a lady's lap dog. A prominent lawyer of New Baven bought a fine bull terrier from me about a year ago. On the second night after the dog had been in his possession tha gentleman was a guest at a supper party, and did not reach home until the small hours of tbe morning. The terrier met him at the gate of hit or-chard, and drove him up an apple tree, where he held bim a prisoner until tbe fam-ily arose at breakfast time. The dog had only seen blm half a doien times, and he did not recognise him. This is a danger with all bull terriers when used as watch dogs. They reason slowly, and when they onoe reach a conclusion, whether it is wrong or right, they cling to it as tenaciously as tnouga It was an opponent's throat or a prowling tramp's leg, and, like a gun with an imperfect breech, they are apt to injure their owners in an excess of seal. Nothing will beguile them to forget their duty while life last, but their sense of smell is very weak, and a bit of poisoned meat thrown over the fence is tolerably sure to clear the course for the burglars when they arrive, ready for business, at night "B far the best dog for keeping watch and ward In a country house is one of the large lightrcolored, rough-coate- d terriers, with as little of the reduced breeds about him as is possible. Be need not be a pure strain, but there must be no bad blood in him. A cross of Scotch and Irish Is very good, but, I think, the old bkye and large plain Scotch is better. It should produce a dog weighing about twelve pounds. (Such an animal, without either the strength or tbe ferocity of the bull terrier, baa all his courage, tempered with a good deal of dis-cretion. When he hears a noise near any of the doors or windows he does not at once befjin to bark. He goes cautiously to the place whence tbe sound came, and, of course, generally finds that It was made by the wind, or some harmless passer-by-, and the sleepers are not aroused without rea-son. But when ha bark you may feel as-sured thai it la time for you to get up, for he never gives a false alarm ; and if there is any fighting to be done he will take bis full share of It. But he It no foot He can nut deal with the burglars alone, and he is not going to try to do so. Bis bark almost invariably frightens them away, but if your house Is isolated and they persist in trying" to enter it, you eah safely count Upon him as a valuable assistant The bull terrier allows them to come In before be begins operations, while the rough-coate- d dog en deavora Vo keep the door between you and tuem." - ' 5" f . a S f C - 3 c& S "I 5 1 hi 2 14 OLE OLSSS'fJ, D.

The Germans have a story which that home-lovin- g people like to repeat A father, when his daughter became a bride, gave her a golden casket with the injunction not to pass it into other hands, for It held a charm which, In her keeping, would be of inestima-ble value to her as tbe mistress of a house. Not only was she to have the entire care ol It, but she was to take it every morning to the cellar, the kitchen, the dining-roo-the library, the parlor, the bedroom, and to remain with it In each place for five min-utes, looking carefully about. After lapse of three years the father was to send the key, that the secret talisman might be re-vealed. The directions were followed. The key was sent. Tbe easket was opened. It was found to contain art old parchment, on which waa written these words: "The eyes of the mistress are worth one hundred pair of servants' hands." The wise father knew that a practice of Inspection followed faithfully for three years would become a habit and be that the golden casket and the' hidden charm would have accomplished their mission. Folk-Lor- A. Valuable Cat's Ky. The most valuable cat's eye in the world was brought to London recently from Cey-lon, the only region besides Madras where cat's eyes are found..

It is now insured for 80,000 rupees. ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. What tha Poetess of Paaslon Would Do 11 Site Were a Stan. Were I a man, writes Ella Wheeler Wil-cox, in the Chicago Tribune, I would never speak or write one disparaging or disre-spectful word of any woman whom I did not know beyond the cavil of a doubt to be utterly unworthy. Even then I would only speak such words to warn others from her example. I would aim to make my life worthy one good woman's admiration and respect. I would be more gallant and kind to my wife than to any other woman. I would make the happiness of my home tbe chief ambition of my life. I would deny myself some pleasures and luxuries in youth that 1 might not be de-pendent upon others for the necessities ol life in old age. I would give every man a helping hand as I went along the journey of life, and expect Co reward save in the increase of my own self respectand satisfaction. ' 1 I would take a great pride in controlling t and mastering my passions and appetites, " - as I would in the control of my horses or my dogs. And I would look weU to it that Done gained mastery of me. ' 1 I would feel it a greater honor to be called a faithful busbaud and a wise father than to be known as "a sly dog" or "a great masher" by my fellow-mo- If 1 inherited wealth I would endeavor to make mysoijm the matter of good manners and good morals the equal ot many who la-bor for a livelihood. .' I would never Imagine that the possession of a first class tailor and an eyeglass could excuse a vile breath or nn insolent air. I would write no letters to any woman, save my wife, which all the world might cot read. ...... If in the employ of others I would do double tbe duties imposed upon me that I might tbe sooner have others in my em-ploy. I would rule in my business affairs and in By own household- - not by force of physical trength, but by force of character. , And in my general association with wom-en I would treat them as nearly as possible U I would like other men to treat my sister pr my Wife, - " .

Mr. Sims Reeves says that furelga performers did not understand and could not like it The Dublin gallery did as it liked with their names. Faglieri was addressed as Faddy Leary.and once, when playing Edgardo,some one called out : "Is tbat Mr. Ceary singing or lsittbegssiscapin't" To FagUen succeeded Damcke. The audience called him Donkey. VYou haven't got the kay, Mr. Donkey," resounded from all parte, and Damcke bad to retire. ' It is fair to say that a Dublin audience is not rude to foreigners only. There is scarcely any native performer of any eminence who has hot been the victim of some humiliating ioke. - Railway Insurance.
