ONCE upon a time a very crviol fairy, pretty as the -v Howers. 'jut wicked as 4 the serpents who hide in the urass ready to spring upon you, resolved to avenge herself upon all the people of a great country. Where was this country situated? In tbe mountain or in . the plain, at the shore of a river or by the sea? This the story docs not tell. 'Perhaps it was near the kingdom .where the dressmakers were very tdcillful in adorning the robes of the princesses with moons and with stars. And what was the offense from which the fairy had suffered? With regard to this also the story is silent. Per^ faaps they had omitted to offer up prayers to her at the baptism of the Icing's daughter. However this might 4>e. it is certain enough that the fairy was in a gr^at rage. She asKed herself at first whether fihe should"'devastate the country by sending out the thousands of spirits that served lier to set fire to all the palaces and all (he cottagers, or whfeth. ?r she should cause all the lilacs and all the roces to fade, or whether she should turn all the young girls into ugly old women. She could have let loose all the four winds upon the streets, and laid low the houses and trees. At her command fire-spitting mountains would have buried the entire laud with burning lava, and the sun would have turned from its path 6o as not to sliine upon the accursed city. But sue uui sun worse. i>iKe a thief, who leisurely chooses the most precious jewels in a rase, she removed from the memory of men aud women the three divine words: . "I Jcve you!" W And haying brought this affliction, she removed herself-with a light smiie on her lips that would have been more hideous than the church of th6 devil if she had not had the most beautiful rosy lips in ail creation. . i ? At first the men and women only . half perceived the wrong that was ^ done ihein. It seemed to them that they lacked something, but they did not kuow what. The sweethearts that met iu the evening in the eglantine lonae f lift moiuiiml i>nur\!oc trhn folbail lau^o, niai r n u vwujMtJ ?^v iuiav/u confidingly to each olher behind closed . windows and drawn curtains, suddenly interrupted themselves and looked at eacli other or embraced; ihey felt that they wanted to pronounce a certain customary phrase, but they did not even have an idea of what that phrase fwas. They were astonished, uneasy, for they did not ask each other any questions, fcr thej did not know what question to ask, so complete was their I. forget fulness* of the precious word. But they did not suffer Tery much as yet, for tliey had the consolation of possessing so many other words that tfcey could whisper to each other, and of so many caresses. Alas! .'t was not long before they .were seized with a profound melancholy. It was in vain that they : adored each other, thai they called each ! other by the tenderest names, and J talked the sweetest language. It was not enough to declare that all the fbliss lay in tlieir kisses; to swear that they were ready to die, he for her and she for him; or call each other, "My soul! my tin me! my dream!" They inBtinctively felt the need of saying and bearing another word, more exquisitt ithan all other words, and with tne .bitter memory of the ecstasy that wo* contained this word- cane the an h gujsu 01 never ueing auie to uuer or 9 to hear it any ruore. j?| Quarrels followed in the wake of this distress. Judging his lmppiuess incomplete on account of the avowal that was henceforth denied to the most ardent lips, the lover demanded L from her anu she from him just the .thing which neither th:> cue nor the other couJd give, without either know ing what or being ahle to name it. V They accused eacii other of coldness, a of perfidy, not believing in tlie tenderI ness which was not expressed as they 1 desired. I Thus Wie sweethearts soon ceased to | iiave their rendezvous in the lanes jgf (where the eglantines grew, and even .'.if' wiiiilnwe worn flflcitrf tlio r conjugal chambers hoanl onl.v dry con- ' versatiou in easy chairs that were never brought near each other. Can there-be joy without love? If the country which had Incurred the hatred of^tlie fairy had been ruined by war, or devastated l?y pestilence, it could uot have been as desolate, as mournful, as forlorn, as it had become on account ol the three forgotten words, ill. The>e lived in this country a poet Whose plight was even more pitifui than that ot' the rest. It was not because, having a beautiful sweetheart, ije was in despair for uot being able 4o say and to hear the stolen word. f He had no sweetheart, for lie was loo much in love with the muse. But it was because he was unable to finish a poem which he had begun Hie day before the wicked fairy had accomplished her vengeance. And why? Because it just happened that the poem was to vind up with "I love you!" and it was impossible to end it in any oilier way. The poet struck his brow, took his head between his hands, and asked himself: "Have I gone mad?" He was certaii.. however, lhat he had found the words that were to precede the last point of exclamation before he had commenced t? write the stanza. The proof that he hn1 found these words was that the rhyire with which they were to go. and which was already written, waited for them?nay. called aloud for them, and did not want any ofhers, like lips that wait for sister lips to kiss them. And this indispensable, fatal phrase he had for gotten; hp did not even rjcall tnat ue had ever known it! Surely there was some mystery in this, mused the poet unceasingly, with ? bitter melancholy ?Oh. the pang of interrupted poems! ?sitting at the edge of the forest no;Tr the limpid fountains where the fairies have the habit of dancing of an evening in the light of the stars. IV. Now as he sat once musing under the boughs of a tree, the wicked, thieving fairy saw him and loved him. One is not a fairy for nothing, and a fairy does not stand on ceremony. Swifter than a butterfly kisses a rose she put her lips upon his lips, aud the poet, greatly occupied though he was with his ode, could not help but feci the heavenlinass of her career. Blue aud rose diamond grottoes opened up in the depths of the earth, gardens of lilies .spread out there, luminous as the stars; thither th3 poet and the fairy were drawn in a chariot of gold in their flight; and ,for a very long time they loved each other, forgetful of all but their kisses and smiles. Gnomes dressed in violet satip. elves nttired in a misty haze, performed dances before them that fell in rhythm with the mnsic of unseen orchestras, while fitting hands (hat had no ai'ms brought them ruby baskets of snow white fruit, perfumed like a white rose and like a virgin bosom. Or. to please the fairy more, the poet recited, while the cords of a theorbo, the most beautiful verse? his fancy could conceive. Fairy that she was, she had never known joy comparable to this of being snug to by a Deautifui young man wno iuvented new songs every day, and when he grew'silent and she felt the breath of his mouth very near her, passing through her hair, she melted away with tenderness. Their happiness seemed to be without end. Days passed by, many, many, days, but nothing occurred to disturb their joy. Nevertheless, she had moments of gloom, when she would sit musing, with her cheek on her hand and her hair falling down in streams to her hips. ."O queen!" he cried, :'what is it that makes you sad. and what more can you desire, seeing that we are so happy in the midst of all our pleasures, you who are all powerful, you who are so beautiful?" She did not answer at first, but when he insisted she sighed and said: "Alas! one always ends by suffering the evil that one has inflicted on others. Alas! I am sad because you have never told me; 'I love you!' " He did not pronounce the words, bat he uttered a cry of joy at having t'ouud again the eud of his poem. In: vain the fairy attempted to retain' Iwui in the blue aud rose-diamond grot-] toes, in the gardens of lilies that were; as luminous as the stars. He returned! to earth, completed, wrote and pub-f lished his ode, iu which the men and women of the afflicted country found again the divine words that they had lost. Now there were rendezvouses again in the lanes, and warm, loving cont'ni.Pft^Ane of fho nAniimnl u'indnxi'S 1 ) VI CU HUilO ?W lliv II *uv*v >. ? , It is because of poetry that the kisses are sweet, and lovers say nothing tliat tlie poets have not sung. Caste nnd tlie Army. At Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, sis non-commissioned officers have been reduced to the raiiks for running what is technically known as "a bind pig." or "unlawful canteen. When the men grumbled that they were doing no more than the commissioned officers did, Colonel Whitehall, it seems, disclosed with some emphasis that what was meet for officers in the post clubhouse was not necessarily proper for privates in quarters. The papers say that he said: "To put the private on the same footing as the commissioned officer would be ruinous to discipline. We must have* cacte in the army just as there is caste in outside society.We have the same class distinctions., and without them we could have no discipline." Colonel Whitehall's sentiments are sound enough, but if he was quoted ac curately, lie was not fortunate in his i method of expressing them. Military law gives officers privileges which privates do not share. It creates an artificial caste for military purposes, though whether it formally gives officers larger liquor privileges than it gives to privates is arguable. But in outside society American law recognizes no caste and no class distinctions. ?Harper's Weekly. Coif at Sea. Few of the older sports are now indulged iu at sea.

When the dish is quite firm, unmould and decorate with small olives, truffles, capers, ! or nimentoes. and ararnish with water* cresses. Care of Cellulnlrt Article*. A mauufaeturer of celluloid articles says that the danger of these articles exploding into flame when near a fire Is greatly exaggerated. Nevertheless, he adds this long list of "Don'ts": "Don't place hct curling irons near your celluloid hair coinb; don't drop a match on the celluloid back of a hair brush or handglass after you have lighted the gas in your dressingroom; dou't use the celluloid handle of your paper-cutter to press down the tobacco in your lighted pipe; dou't put your celluloid beads near a light; don't hang a celluloid bead curtain where thel-e is an unprotected light; I'Aftn IrtAf A m r? frtii A c ? n Cfltll Ck U.V/IX k accj; IUUOC UltUVU^O iu IIIC ?uuiv pocket with your celluloid card case or diary." It would be simpler not to use celluloid at all, as a matter of fact. Cunning Note*. Label your cans with name and date. Do not allow draft of cold nir to blow across the hot cans. Wash and dry cans thoroughly after the contents are used and then put away each with Its own cover on. Light and warmth are enemies of ail canned goods, preserves and jellies. The rubber ring is the most danger ous part of the can. See that the ring is in perfect condition before using. Sugar is sometimes omitted in fruit canned for pies. Cans should be examined two or three days after filling. If syrup leaks out around the rim, they should be unsealed and heated again. A bos of sand is excellent to set jars of fruit in, as it keeps them dark. The light will spoil some varieties of fruit, strawberries and tomatoes being very ' sensitive to it.

A recent report from Dr. Claude C. a Pierce, assistant surgeon of the hos- s pital service, says that in the city of Panama there are twenty-two known n cases of leprosy. The only thing in *1 the least resembling a lazaretta about r Panama is a collection of most dilapi- o 'Jated huts on the outskirts of the city, s where lepers may go if they choose, c They are supported in a half-hearted miserable fashion by unorganized j charity. There never has been any i attempt to force their isolation in q GRAVE OF FATH The Famous "Leper Priest" of th these huts and cases can be found all aver the city. At one point along the line of the railroad a Chinaman in the last stages b of the terrible disease has set up his miserable hut in a corner of the cemetery, where he s living out the dregs of his existence in a most pitiable fashion. His shack consists of a lean-to against a tree?a thatched roof supported by four posts in the ground. The walls are of discarded bits of . sheet Iron obtained from structures built by / French canal workers, which have J since tumbled down. It has no floor f and is bare of furniture. The China- V man cooks the food which is brought \ to him over the open fire, and sleeps on a pile of dirty matting. A few feet away is a picket fence surrounding a grave, while all about him are tombstones. Part of his food allowance comes in tin cans, and the empty cans are spread about his corner of the vard of death. But the Republic of Panama has recently instructed the National Board of Health to lay out and establish a lazaretto capable of isolating all of the lepers in the Republic. It is to _ be divided into two parts, one for men ii and one for women, at a considerable v distance apart. The act provides for p HUT OF A CHINESE tlie examination of suspected lepers v< md enforces their confinement at the ri lazaretto if the doctors find that they ta are suffering from the disease. A w physician is to visit each patient at ai least four times a mouth, and an un- to iergraduate physician is to maintain bj 1 residence at the lazaretto. lo Colombia also realizes the grave danjer which is in store for the country sr if leprosy is not checked, and the a United States Minister at Bogota has cm forwarded the Marine Hospital Service cc 1 copy of a new law establishing lazar- dt sttos in each department of Ihe Re- jn public. One is already being operated in the Department of Antioquia at an ?xpense, so far, of more than 3,000,000 pesos. A Surgeon-General Wyman of the t United States Marine Hospital Service bas selected an area approximately a u] tnile square as the leper settlement on the island of Molokai as the site of n< the hospital for lepers authorized at the last session of Congress. This hospital is declared by the act io be for the treatment of such lepers as . may be legally committed to it by the in Territory of Hawaii, and for the sci- ?r entiGc study of the disease. If this purpose is carried out, there will be, for the first time in the forty years' ** history of segregation in the Hawaiian islands, continuity of study of the r0 disease from a scientific standpoint. Tlfe life in th> settlement is that of h( the ordinary Hawaiian community. ro 1'he lepers live in cottages provided for them by the Board of Health, *e which has charge of the settlement. They are provided with rations of poi, Bsb, meat and tea.?New York Tribune. ^ bi The fastest and most sumptuously equipped ocean steamships in tbe " world are now built 1 .

I went out and rdered her t > stop. She answered by triking me in the stomach with her losed fist" The jury was locked up in the udge's office for fifteen or twenty min ites, and then brought in a verdict ac[ultting Mrs. Vancuren.
