Coe, in Seribner's "Bric-a-Brae-." My Friend The Communist. if'rcm Lippincott's Magazine for October.) Therewas plenty of brilliancy abmot Paul Forbes. and when, after his return from Eu rope, he took a fancy to spend his evenings with me, I was high!y fla tered by the Idea that I was fitted to enjoy free and untram melled Intercourse with a master mind. He hadssounded life and experience to the bot tom anti could relate his experiences In a clear, ptcti-resipe fashion. Ie had fought through the war of t he rebellion. belonged to secret so. cletlus in Eurore, st l:ed art under G- and lived in Paris during the commune; he had been foriein newspqer correspondent, and written a bolk and three plays, all dMad failures. lie callcd hImself a champion fail are, but he took the world with an air of suc cess. and his ac-umulated experiences, in steal of depiessing him, afforded him a fund of material lipon which his imagination acted with powerful vivacity. I found him and Isis conversation very fascinating. A holy friend ship sprang up between us. Ile pronounced hinicelf a cemmunist and, after long argu ments, quite converted me to his ideas. When, finally, lie made the suggestion in his trank, dictatorial fashion that we s!ould live together and have everything In comm'n, I was totlbed and exa!ted by the idea, besides beu4 secretly pleased with the notion of identifying my in s'gniflcant career with that of an intellectual giant. fani despised the meager convention alisms and carroding seltishness which per vaded society, and I heartily a.greed with him that, in order to readjust the scale of human estiiates and recominenee civilization, it wti neces;ary for brave spirits like ourselves to make a beginning and afford a spectacle of the true brotherhood of man. As I had an excellent room on 12th street. it was not necessary that we should ilad new uarters. Paul brought his effects and settled ownatonce. -While we were discussing ways and means. he had talked a good deal abiut his "furniture." and I had gained the idea that his belongings would inaugurate an era of sumptuous luxury in my modest apartment. I confess it did seem to me that these hints vere not practically carried out. lie had, it I true, an embroidered arm-chair, but it was faded and badly moth-eaten. But some woman had worked It for Paul, and I could not blame him for seeing more in it than was apparent to my eyes There was a sofa. too, which he had afirmed to be a superb piece of furniture, but Itcame to pieces when moved, and when the remains were carried to the nearest cabinet maker, the idea that it could be resurrectel entire was cynically repudiated. He nad, be sides, about a thousand books, sime lnd somely bound, and a plaster cast of "the Ve nus. as he called it, spotted and blackene I by age, and a skeleton. I ventured to object to the skeleton, but Paul scorned all ideas which rested upon individual whim or caprice and de manded a foundation of u-iversai law. Any thing, lie declared, which was 'universal" was good. Now, certainly nothing c in be more universal than skeletons. Accordingly, the Venus stood on a draped pedestal (made of a chair that had lost its back and an old dress ing-gown) on one side of the bookshelves, and the skeleton hung by a hook on the other. Over and above these possessions he hid two unframed pictuies. presented by artist friends In Paris. I frankly concede tnat his things gave an air of taste to the room; they showed culture. I had always felt my lack of culture, and now encouraged a large and vivid belief In my opportunity for Intellectual and zesthetic improvement. I began at once to enjoy his library, and was not slow to notice a singular circumstance; all the books had different names on tUeIr liv leaves, as if they had been drawn from various private libraries. I questioned Paul about this. and he told me that a few had been picked up at sales. others were presents, but the greater number had been lent to him and never returned. " Why, Brix." said he (my name is Henry Brisbane, but he always called me "Brix'), "I needed them more than the people I borrowed them from. Why, Brix, books should be a commodity free as the universal air. Of what use Is a book when shut away In a library? As well shut away sunshine. When society is revolutionized, when selfishness and narrow ness no longer characterize men and rulers, books will be like the dew which falls from heaven. Your or my right to a book lies in the need of it." I could readily see that there was a good deal in this; still public libraries offer facilities to the poor man. "Too much circumlocution, too mach red tape." said Paul. "By the very asking for a particular book you become the humiliated :1ndsman of certain rules which cramp and fetter every genuine Impulse. I want boiks to suit my convenience. I can't read intelligently pent up in a room with a pack of ninnies." I had long since mide up my mind that so ciety was all wrong, and it was a real pie isure to hear Paul challenge tne established order of things so fearlessly, If some of his views were rather personal than general, rather chlm erical than practical, that seemed mere human nature. We got on capitally. Paul had made an esti mate of our expenses: I was to furnish I:,i a month besides the room, and he would con tribute the equivalent. But as all his schemes turned out unluckily, and he had no money, the entire expense devolved upon me. We breakfasted together In our room, Paul was a capital cook, and used to get up at dayuight in the cold winter mornings and broil our bacon, cook our hominy and make our coffee. Then in the evening, when we met again, he would often offer a suggestion of supper. I occas ionaliy had a dim suspicion, which sometimes amounted to a certainty, that the poor fellow needed his supper, having had neither lun cheon nor dinner, so I never begrudged it. In fact5 I begrudged him nothing, lie was a most delightful companion, and over our oysters and lager beer would pour out confessions suggess tire, romantic, heart-stirring. I could not ad mire him enough. I felt mystlf a tame, shabby fellow beside him, a mere foil to his brightness. Ills wardrobe was scanty, Door devil: and he had a knack of wearing clothes so much better than I that I liked to see him in my things. lie shared my coats and trousers as he shared my room, and that he should make unstinted use of my neck-ties and handkerchiefs was a matter of course. But one day, when I came in af ter my um brella and overshoes, and found that he had gone out and carried them off, I began to sulk a little over l'aul's free-and-easy ways. I re membered with some acerbity that his part of our contract had not been carried out. I had paid the rent, furnished breakfast and supper, and had that very morning paid his bill to the laundress, who had become importunate and threatened to keep back his snail stock of linen, On no occasion had I ever seen any money of Paul's except at Christmuas. when he invited me wIth lordly good-nature to dine With him at Martigny's, remarking that Christ mas comes but once a year. ann that we would dine weil. Even then his hospitality iost its force and was a Uittle marred by Use clrcum stance that I had to pay for the second bottle of wine. But on this particular afternoon I was led to a softened feeling for Paui's faults by the fact that I had received an invitation to dinner for the next day. 'Tom Thatcher had just come back frons Europe with his father and sister Lulu. They were the oldest and best friends I had In the world, and Luiu I had adored almost from my infancy. Tom had hunted me up al most as soon as he landed, and ured me to dine with them the very next eve g at the old house on 'Twenty-ifth street. Accordingly, as I said before, I was well inclined to forgive Paul for carrying away my overshoes and um brella, for otherwise I should have missed Tom and thus lost my invitation. When Paul came in and began to explain how he came to wear my overshoes, etc., I interrupted him with an "All right: I'm glad you did so." "Brix," he returned with fervor, "you're a capital fellow: You have treated me like a brothe'r and-", "That was the compact," said I; "we were ta share and share alike." " if 1 ever get rich-" exclaimed Pai with seine ardor. I looked at him and laughed. It was evident that Paul had some personal schemes in view and 1 diverted myself a little all the next d ty, imagining what wonderful linanciat successes he was hoping for, I wan in capItal spirits, al though the day was a fatiguing one and I did not leave the Onlee until long after 3, and I was engaged to dine with the Thatcher's at half-past us. I sped u p town by the elevated read, whisked along Fourteenth street, down U niversity place to Twelfth, anti found when I reached my room I had 4t) minutes to shave and dress in. Paul was oust -had apparently been out all day, for there was no ?ltter of books or manuscripts around, I felt sorry for the poor fellow, lonely, unlucky, cu1t off fro:n domestic ties and the pleasant intimacy of friendly homes, forced to donsole himself with a bitter and barn phIlosophy and look to a doubtful sad distant future for the scant ra wards of his fidelity to principles which the rest of the world bated and disowned. Wniie I shaved I felt myself, in contrast with him. a Jampered child of fortune. I was tenmpted to put out my entire box of cigars, that he might ea4oy at leest iuch meager comfort when he In thM teanda' manG I Wan tn== Wardroae togetmydresclothes. They were not there. I looked 1th clothe-press, I looked every- r. where. I did not readily admit the possibility tha they were actually gone. There ar chr cumstancea which emDitter friendship. I swore at Paul with most cordi p profanity. He had gone out attired In my dressing suit. Irrefragable proof; his Own habilments (he h4d but the one set of garments) hung In the closet. Every man has his vulnerable point. I had liked Paurs views of a universal b"otherhood; there was something ennobling in the renun ciation of selfish Individual c ims; but a man has, nevertheless a few inalienable rights, and one of them Is certainly the undisputed tenure of his solitary dress-suit. This was communism, was It? This was the upshot of those fine theories! Here was I, a plodding, hard-working fellow, who had econo mized in all sorts of ways to keep himself in the condition of a gentleman. the prey of a lazy vagabond who spent his time In quarrel ing with the universal instead of making his living like other men! Where could he have won my clothes? What need existed of his making an appearance In fruitless evening attire among his shabby Bo hemian coterie? Time passed while I was In the clutches of this painful dilemma. Should I send an ex cuse to the Thatchers, or commit the glaring Impropriety of going to te dinner In my rougs mornIng-clothes? Even It Tom and his father overlookod the fault the fair Lulu would ob serve It with feminine fastidiousness, and make up her mind that I was altogether sunk belox her ideal. But I had no messenger to send and I determined to go and avenge my wron.s by telling everybody the reason of my belrgj n this plight. 'There was no end to the clever, satrical observations concerning Paul and his fantastic theories I made myself on the way to 31r. Thatcher's. I found that the family had already sat down to table, and I was at once ushered into the dIning-rocm. 3fr. Thatcher nodded to me and held out a couple of fingers; Tom was brusque and gave my clothes an odd glanoe; but the fair Lulu was gracious and a thousand tIme more lovely than ever. I had no eyes for anybody else until she said sweetly, "Mr. Brisbane, let me Introduce you to Mr. Forbes." I looked up. I needed all my self-command I not to cry out. There sat Paul opposite, well dressed, calm, easy, assured, returning my glance with a humorous expression on his handsome face. "Bow are you, Brix?" said he. "You were late Is coming home to-night." Lulu looked at me with Interest. "So you and Mr. Forbes are acquainted?" said she. " Brix and I are brothers," Paul answered for It me In his genial, heartfelt way. "Brix has re deemed my lost faith in mankind. It Is a dis tInct blessing to me that Brix Is alive. Poor I wretch that I am without any of the rewards which sweeten a lonely destiny, It has done me t good to know a man like Brix. I may say I was a stranger and he took me In." (I waited t breathless to hear it he added, "naked, and he clot lied me," but he broke off with a half laugh I and a smilin? glance at me.) then added: "Yes, Alls Lulu, Brix and I are friends."1 Lulu smiled at him. She evidently cansld ered it a fellowship like that of l'ame et Ia I bete. I sat dumb. My wit was generally too early t or too late. I knew not In what form to attack I Paul-whether fearlessly to expose him as a 8 wolf in sheep's clothing, or humiliate, sting and wound him by satire. I could not, how- I ever, find a chance to speak; I sat like an awk wart boy. Of course my dinner was spolled. I made mistakes In my wine, and Mr. Thatc'ier I came to my relief with officious instructions that he did not intend the Clos vougeot to go with the salad. Wherever I failed Paul shone. I lie was well dressed. whereas I was ill-dressed; he was chatty, even brilliant, whereas I was t sulky and silent. I discovered that lie had spent a month with the Thatchers in Italy. It was easy to see how they regarded him-a 9 man not too young, far from ricY, yet who had seen and possessed the best part of the world- 3 a sort of Ulysses. I was rayless beside him. When I finally rallied and made some trilling observations, they fell fiat, while Paul's least remark was pondered and treasured. I leaded an engagement, illness, somethIng, andfleft the house as soon as we rose from the table. I went home and sat up moodily until Paul came in. I foresaw a climax of emotIon, wrath and the end of our friendship. He en tered just past midnight with a jaunty air. " StIll up?" said he, putting his hand on my shoulder. "By the way, Brix, had I dreamed that you were Invited to the That2hers' to-' night we would have tossed up for the dress " Tossed up?" I retorted fiercely. "This is distinctly too much." " What Is too much?" "I have not been backward In conferring - whatever benefits I could grant consistent with c my own self-respect," I gasped, "but for you to wear the very clothes I-" " You don't mean ta say, Brix, that you be grudged me the use of this coat and waistcoat and trousers?" a I wanted to be rough with him; I wanted to express with the utmost force my rage at the alront, the wrong. he had put upon me. Bit he had so surprised a manner, he seemed so paIned by my selfish and arrogant behavior, he a retired so ingenuously Into his plhillosophlcal theories concerning the inalienable right of 1 one man to the ossessions of any other man. he looked at me so reproachfully and evinced such disappointment at my decline from the a planeof lofty disinterestedness on waln he ad placed me, that I began to believe that I really was a selfish brute. He went on to tell me that he had loved the V fair Lulu for more than a year, and that It was his Intention to offer himself to ker the very next evening, when he had promised to act as her escort to a concert. "You sha'n't wear my dress clothes," I gasped violently. He bemoaned his destiny like an artleis Child: he complained of the cruelty of tme world. I had disappointed him. It was but t one failure the more, but the worst faIlure of his life. He had no money to buy dress clothes for himself, yet if he presented him- V self next evening to Lulu In his shabby velve- a teen, it would be such a palpable shock to her N susceptibilities that he would be liable to lose the ground already gained. But almost worse n than his disappointment In love was his dis- tl appointment In my disinterested fraternal af fection. He ought, he saId, to have accepted my offers of friendship, counting upon them no more than upon a Spaniard's courteouis but un-o meaning1formula, "Todo ese a is disposiclone de V." He should not have put my uncompro mising egotism to this test. I was amenable to such treatment. "Oh,0 take my clothes," Igcried wildly. "Take any'-~ thing! Don't think of me or of my claIms In b the least. I've gets n etter necktie thlan that, and a pair of diamond studs. Put them on to morrow night. Let Lulu believe they are yours. Look your best in them. WIn her If e you can."h Paul wrung my hand. "lBrix.", he returned with fervor. "I will." f lIe dId so. He went out next evenIng fault less In my' attIre, and returned triumphant: Lulu had accepted him. Old Thatcher had r found no fault with him, and the thing was to it be an engagement. I fcund a certain morbid pleasure In makIng a Paul a wedding-present of the clothes he was t wearing. I am the sort of man who cannot I stand up against destiny, and Is forced to at commodate himself to the inevItable. Paul was extremely grateful, and upon the bleak. ing up of our menage, whIch followed hard upon his engagement, Insisted upon makIng me a present of the skeleton.

BlOS MITHODS OF eXVIMG SRANDY AND WINE To INVALUIIS-MInIs FOR NUMES. mhe e of wine and spirits for invalld and a method of administering them require some rt1CUhUntUMe 04the great advantage to be rived from these stimulants when given In oper quantity and at the right time there D be no douDt. Preparations of Solid food nAInIn n lcohiolic admixture are ome Ma fcult, because, as a certain amount of oking or beating must be employed, high inperatures volatilize the spirits. Some flavor tne wine may be left, but the active princi es are evaporated. It Is In fluids or semi Lids that the best and simplest vehicles for e administration of stimulants are found. If be necessary to cook any food which is to con in wine, the wine should be added last, In e choice of spiritous substances brandy stands at; after that comes sherry. Of late years lk-punch, made with brandy, has been used l1h marked success by all physicians. As was eviously mentioned, In offering such things to Invalid, the mistake Is to present It in too eat quantity. Possibly of all the methods of Iministerin a stimulant in a small bulk, milk mch Is the Dest. It need not be given cold or .d for food given at too low temperatures in b'le conditions of health shock the system, id is not readily assimilated. The milk can sweetened, then warmed, and the brandy Ided just before taking. Wine-whe. Is an her preparation of milk which is used. From receipt in use in a leading hospital. the fol wing Is given as the method of preparauion: quart of milk is boiled, Into which just enough erry Is added, until the milk cardles, then the hole Is removed from the lire, and, when col g, a half wine-glass more of sherry is added. i sugar Is uEed. In all such preparations the ie of spices, such as cinnamon or nunneg. culd be employed with the utmost caution. it so much as to their effects on the system as cause the taste of a sick person is oftea ex edlugly keen, and the least excess of any con ment becomes disagreeable. In all sucl eparations It must be remembered ohat the tort is to be mde to tempt the appetite. to art once more the digestive functios which Lre beccme dormant. Jellies have been per. tps more used for invalids, with less acqtuaint ice with their merits, tJan any other substan s. Preparations of gelatine admirable in isality abound, but as to the nutriti.n they ntaln they must be declared to be null; but It not always their nutritive quality alone bich makes them useful. Gelatine, which is ally nothing else than a very carefully pre tved glue, Is not convertible In the human stem into blood, fat, flesh or bone. If an ani al were fed entirely on pure gelatine h4would e of starvation. Where Its great use Is found as a vehicle where in most diluted forn od can be administered. For invalids, If jelly ued, it should be made of calves' feet; in ch a preparation the juices of the meat enter rgely into the composition of the substance, td real food is taken. Sometimes It is the ry bulk of such food which maXes the physi an order stimulants to be given in jel :s, even when made of pure gelatine a ire mechanical action takes place, which metimes start the human machine. Blanc anges made of gelatine with milk e, therefore, admirable of their kind. We do it, in sickness, make as much use as we should jellies made of Iceland moss, which is s nstantly ordered by foreign physicians. iough the nourishing quality of the moss, per , is very slight, such salts of Iodine and bro aine as itposesses are of positive value. The eparation of Iceland moss jelly is of the ut o_t simplicity: An ounce of the mo:-s may be eeped In tepid water over night, careiully ashed and cleaned from grit, then mixed with ster boiled down to a pint, strained, sweet ied and have sherry wine added to it last, or may have milk put into it. Its peculiar slight a flavor has often awakened a lethargic ap tite. It is curious to notice In sensinle cook >oks such receipts given as for hartshorn Ily and Ivory jelly, which have no possible e, and are remnants of an empirical school, hich belonged to the year 150o; any bones, )rns, or hoofs would answer quite the me 'purpose; such stupidities are to be assed among old women's receipts. In agland port wine is very largely used as a imulant, but It is diflicult to procure in the nited States. Its particular advantages are it salient; owing its tonic qualities to an ad. ixtuie with a foreign substance, harmless, of ,urse, such heavy red California wines as are )w made can be substituted for port vine. It :ed not be expatiated upon how necessary it is procure the very best brandy or wine for the ek-room, for between the best and the next st the health of the patient may depend. rench wines (the red ones) in convalescence .n be highly recommended, but their merits in ,ry low stages of health are very much doubt i. As to white wines, whether French or Ger an, they should be discarded.-[N. Y. Times. eer lsunting in the Adirondacks. At 7 the hunters are off.

It is some great tree falling in a woods thbat jars the earth, shocks the air d makes the pebbles lap the water on the ach.

THE DUTY OF AN AUDIENcs.-Surely the oh fation of the public toward their entertainers not discharged by the mere money trans tion that secures to the one a seat, and coin ls the other to perform certain places. 80 sty would crumble If our dealings with our liow-creatureB were condutced on the hard id-fast lines of contracts alone, setting aside 1 considerations of courtesy and good feeling a pay our servants, and yet clothe our com ands in the dress of politeness. We are not fliged to exoress in a theater what we do not at, but we are not obliged, If we admit that urtesy is among the canonsof go--breeding. abstain from ndifferences so pronoun . 'e go even further, and assert that audIences hen pleased should show their approbation ankly. They wouid be great gainers by at Iding such cordial encouragement. Artists v proverbially the most sensitive of mortais. lay cannot'do their best for lymphatic spec. tors; applause is to them like water to t.he irsty: it pots fresh life into them. English ldter.ces are pasinfully cold, and in fashionable teaters indifference is chic. The passionate thuslasm of an Italian or Viennese house ould be voted absi d by our languid youths id insipid maidens of the pit andtae ds thai ae artists look for encouragement. Silent in iference is, however, negative. No one has a ght to meddle with people because they are o stupid or too affected to take an. interest, or, they take It. to show it.

Formerly all the Umber was floated down the various streams Into the Rhine. &very much of it is now conveyed by road and rail way; but fortunately for lovers of the plc turesque the old method Is not wholly out of use and rafting-holz-firsserel, as it Is called stin forms for the stranger one of the most at tractive features of Black Forest life. The pines having been sawn off a little above the roots, are slid down the mountain or hill side where they have grown into the never failing stream, which flows rapidly, over bowl ders and amid rapids, through the valley. Here they are pierced at each end, and tied together with willow roots, in rows of from four to ten, according to the width of the stream. To this roughly constructed raft a similar one Is joined, also tied with willow roots. To this an other and another are added, until, perhaps, as many as thirty lengths of tall pine trees have been joined. To the foremost a sort of rough bow-a hallowed tree trunk-Is usually fived, and the last section of the raft is fitted with a rudder formed of a stripling pine. The frall, extraordinary-looking craft is now launched on Its rapid voyage. A man stands at the bow to steady It., tue water flying up be tween the trees and drenching him at every yard. Another Is at the helm. All along the raft. men furnished with poles or oars mave rapidly from section to section, guiding here, restraining there, and at times having to use all their strength to cling on. liable to be Swamped at every moment, as the raft rushes madly along with the Impetuous torrent, dash Ing over rapids, and through narrows, and over biw;ders, twisting and curving as It follows the ini rleate windings of the stream, "like a thing of life;" not precisely after the fashion in wnien we ordinarily apply the term, but rather In the form of a huge, black, wriggling serpent, whici seems to swim rather througn than upon the surface of t he stream, sending a rolling wave before It, which surges up and through the tree truLkS In a thousand hissing eddies. As may well be believed, the navigation or the-e rafts requires no little skill, care and krowledge of the locality; and the extreme rap'dity with which they are carried over the seething water seems to the uninitiated on looker simply a mad career toward destruction. As a matter of fact, however, the streams are so shallow that little real danger exists. Where the narrow mountain stream flows out Into the scarcely less rapid river the rafts are widened and joined to others, untIl in time, when the broad and stately Rhine is reached, they are built up into those floating villages which may so often be observed upon the river, some of them, It Is said, 700 feet long. Those constructions are very peculiar. Taey are formed of several layers of trees placed one on the ot her, and planked over with rough deal so as to form a deck. Upon this are erected va rious small huts and cabins, for the Rhine raft carries often a population of not less than three or four hundred persons, the boatmen being ac companted by their wives and families, while cows, fowls and pigs are also carried for the use of the crew; and we are assured that the domestic economy of an East Indiaian or an English man-of-war could hardiy be more com plete. A well-supplied boiler is at work night and day In the kitchen; the dinner hour Is an nounced by a basket stuck on a pole, at which signal the pilot gives the word of command, and the men run from all quarters to receive their rations; while the consumption of provi sions during the voyage Is stated to be alm>st incredible, It having been calculated that, from the time of the construction of the raft until it Is sold, no less than 45,000 pounds of bread, 30.000 pounds of meat, 15,( pounds of butter, 10,00) pounds of cheese, 5!j tuns of beer, S butts of wine and other provisions in propor tion are disposed of. The rafts are navigated to Holland, where they are sold. productfig from .20,00 to'x30,o0) each. The rafts are very frequently the prop erly of a company known as the Schitffer-Ge FelIschaft, which dates from the 16th century and which unites a vast number of small forest proprietors. This company, together with the government and the prince of Furstenberg, own the greater part of the Black Forest. The timber exported from the forests of the Sciff fer-GesellEchaft alone is estimated at over X100,0oo yearly, and altogether Holland is a consumer of Black Forest timber to the amount of X170,000 per annum.-[Harper's Weekly. THE MAN WHO HAD HIs POCKET PICKED. On the fair grounds yesterday an honest-look ing old chap walked up to a policeman, and, af ter passing a few remarks on the weather, let out with: " See here-I've had my pocket picked." "Is that so?" asked the officer, "How longagowas1t." "Yesterdayforenoon." "And didn't you report It?" "No; this is the first I've said about it., "How much did you lose?" "Wall," slowly replied the visitor, "I didn't lose much. I believe it was only about 30 cents, or long there. I first thought I wouldn't say any. thing, as folks might think I was green but after a hard struggle of most tw- days I have concluded that justice must take her course, no matter how bad it makes me 'feel. If you can recover the money I'll divide even up with you, and maybe we can scare the feller Into paying me 50 cents for my worry!"
