When aske«l in lvuard to the I affidavit he nnsweml u'lioily: "There is no ttuth in the eharp»s. The numcy de­posited in the Hank of New Kn^land and the State bank >va« sootjred by Kinds." He also said that in depositing the state's money to the eredit of ,1o«epU Bobleter, state treasurer, and not to the credit of the "State of Minnesota," he was merely following the precedent set by former treasurers of the >tnte. and the notion did not in the least invalidate the state's claim. "Arctander has been try­ing to invalidate the claim of the state as a preferred creditor of those two banks, and this move on his part is, I think, an attorn**1 to keep the matter out of the courts."

"The Count is in ttie orniK-ery, seeking Madame la Comtes^e," Alexo said, in an j almost whisper, which was not cauglit by . th* listener on the oilier side ol the pillar.

Corona started at iliese words, as alsi> did the Prince; but each ol theni with'wide­ly d fferent loeling'.

Corona had received the page's words as 1

a i.mn .i.c-Mijio irom ihe Count; while the l 'rince had put u verv ditt ' .-ri-ni c instruction upon \iieni. Into Corona's bosom there was now rushing a tide ol tenderness; she w,is thinUin). ' that hrr hu^hand 1 tail repmt-ed ol his recent behavior towards her, ami was seeking a reconciliation with her.

"Let us no to the orangery," said she, ad­dressing lit'r companion, and with much eagerness in her tones.

In the midst of all this, Alexo stealthily lelt the palace and sped away from the city.

Corona was oorne to her chamber—the Count fought tor and found—and hall a dozen surgeons were forthwith summoned to attend the wounded Countess, who every­body said was dying.

"\Vlio—who was the assassin?" was the question from all sides—-a question which 110 one could answ er; for no one had seen the blow struok--it hail seemed to come out of the air, iromahand invisible.

"Much poultry!" almost screamed the landlady. "With nine boarders that's swore off all meat except poultry for Ivent, and all the rest hungry enough to swallow horn buttons, reckon I do use poultry. I'm nearly crazy with the chicken bill."

Now Corona had unconsciously made a snperli toilette, and looked nuiKiiiticent. lint she was not bestowing a single thought u | >o 11 the splendor of her appearance; her husband's disdainful gestures were bctore her mental vision,obscuring every other ob­ject from her view.

The Count's lace wore a fearful expres­sion when he saw Prince Preide-laus lead C irona forth to dance. The Prince's feat-tures were beaming with triumph, but tlio>e ol Corona were full of sadness and g num. The count-was narrowly watching their every action, but he fai ed'to discover a'lvtliini; to condemn in the demeanor of his wi e, who moved, looked, and acted precisely as he would have wished her to m ive. look and act.

lie was perplexed. Hut over and over a-jain he repeated to hiniselfthe contentsof t lat terr.ble letter, until the words were (lied on his brain. How could he possibly d Miht the testimony of such a document as tliis he held? Despite her modest niein, h M* downcast eyes, her pallid cheeks, he s ill believed her to be one unworthy ol his live. His mad jealou y preverted every-t ling he saw in her; and that which should h ive served to prove her innocence in his eves, lie used as proof condemnatory against her.

l'rince Preideslaus, presuming upon Alexo's wicked misrepresentations, and thinking that Corona had received his am- I orous epistle, paid his beautilul hostess the uunost attention, which attent.on siie re­ceived with a wholly unembarrassed air, and without evincing the slightest sign ol gratification at it. I

She saw that iter husband's eye was upon | her; blit that fact did not in tlie least con­trol her behavior, wh cli was exactly such as it would have been under any circuin- I stances, aud at any time. I

Presen'ly he saw the l'rince stoop and whisper in Corona's ear; then he marked her b ush and look confused. The fount's brain was spinning, and liK heart was leap­ing in his breast with painlul motion, and he was ready ro spring npon the Prince aud strangle him; but he restrained his rage for the present, and watched 011.

The night beingexceedingly warm, many ol the quests ijad sought the terrace and the ground, ul Ine palac e, over winch a lull 1110011 was shedding the flood of her silvery ;:lory.

On the terrace, amongst a score of oth­ers. were sauiiteriug together, arm-in-arm, l'rince l'reideslaus and Corona. The Count wis not tar distant Irom this particular couple, but he kept liiinsell ont of sight, now behind this pillar then behind that, com ealed entirely 1 r. in ob-ervation.

"This night, I am determined, shall end my dishonor and my Mif/erint:s!'' theCount cried within himseli. drawing forth a dag­ger, and passing h s finger- over the ed e 01 it.^a*il'to assure him-elfol it--keennesB.

Presently, the l'rince ai d Corona passed directly iu irniit o. the pillar, the nia-sive c rciiintereiice of which was completely concealing the jealous hu-band stundiiig bfhind ;1.

Aiexo had not yet made himself visible; -mil the l'rince was therefore in doubt con-•erniiig ihe latcl'liis letter—whether it bad, ir had not reached Madame la Comtesse's 'lands. From her manner, he wa- inclined o think that ihe page had tailed to fulfill ii- premise; ami :!:ns thinking he retrained

from -peaking to heron the tubject ol his lishouest pas-ion.

Sounds ol music were floating on the •almy air. and murmuring voices were all round. The Count cmld not catch the

I will detect the imposition." "How about tlie white meat?" asked

the landlady. Tlie visitor laughed harshly. "No

boarder," he said, "ever received any portion of a chicken but tlie legs and wings. It would excite suspicion to supply anything else. Madam," he ad­ded, "you see the magnitude of this invention. Shall I leave you a dozen legs and a dozen wings on trial?"

"They would lie useless to me," said the landlady, iiuieilv.

"Hey?" "I serve my boarders nothing but the

white meat of fowls." The visitor looked stunned. "What

do you do with the legs and wings?" he faltered.

"Throw them away." . For a moment there was silence in the room. A smile of triumph lurked on the landlady's face. She did not move.

And then the visitor slowly arose and moved toward the door. His face wits drawn nnd haggard. . "Pardon me." he! said, in broken tones, "for detaining you, madam; fact is I think I fainted!"

Tutter—You didn't! Why, she would not go with me. You don't know when you have a good tiling, old fellow.

Tutter—Certainly you have. But you are so used to it, I suppose, you take it as a matter of course. Oh, by the way, old man, to return to that subject, couldn't you manage to squeeze out a fiver?

A Surprised lluubnnd.

When I returned from my Birming­ham journey, said a traveler to a Lon­don commercial, I went home at some­thing after 0 o'clock in the evening. Thero was my house lighted up from top story to basement, and affairs •seemed to be going on inside on a grand scale. I let myself in with a latch­key, and walked into the dining room. Strains of music came from the back part of the hall, and the mingled laugh­ter and conversation indicated a host of guests.

Presently my wife caine into the dic­ing room dressed like a princess. She ran.up to me, saying:

"Oh, Jack! I'm so glad you've come home early."

"So'm I," said I . "What's the rack­et?"

"It's the anniversary of my wedding.1

She serenely replied: "I know that very well; this is the anniversary of my first marriage. Go and put on your dress suit, dear."—Tid-Bits.

Her Piece «le Resistance. Mr. Fraidovor—I don't dare bring

any of the fellows home unexpectedly because I never know what my wife may have for dinner.

Mr. Brnvitout—Oh, I always know what my wife will have, because in a case of that sort she invariably has the same thing.

Mr. Fraidovor (interestedly)—And what is that?

Mr. Bravitout—A fit.—Judge.

He WAS Animcretl. He—Well, what have you there? She—'Two of your old letters, my

dear. He—Umph! What's the first one—

that forty-pagor? She—One you scut me when I had a

slight cold before we were married. This half page Is the one you wrote last winter when I was nearly dead with the grip. That's all, dear.

IIo I<ookn Ahead.

Gummy—What makes you look so sol­emn, Spatts? What are you worrying about now?

Spatts—1 am afraid that my daugh­ter will marry an English lord.

Gummey—What a ridiculous Idea; You have 110 daughter. You are not even married.

Spatts—I know that, but I am ac­customed to look ahead.—Truth.

The French III en of Kilucnllon (or Girls.

Tlie French always make this distinc­tion between "Instruction" and "educa­tion." Instruction means what tlie girls study, while education includes manners, breeding, customs, conduct, habits, ideas, and any amount of learn­ing witTiout this education, in their sense of tlie word, means nothing lo them at all.

It is natural to suppose that for this education, as they understand It, no­body could be more careful, or take so much interest as a mother; and add to this the fact that when a man proposes for a girl In France, lie ex­pects her mother to be able to account for every hour of tlie daughter's life, and you will understand why. above everything else, the education the' French prefer for their daughters is j that received at home.—From "lCduca-tion for tiirls in France." liy Katharine ' de Forest, In Scribner's Magazine. i

I Horses und Romls. !

In former times the horse was con- i -idered only as a beast of burden aud lis usefulness limited to carrying loads lpon his back. Ilis carrying power iu -ills maimer, as compared with what he an drag, is estimated as follows: On

1 poor earthen road he can drag three imes as much as he can carry; ou a uacadamized road, nine times as much; m a plauk road, twenty-live times; rn a solid stone trackway, thirty-three, and on a railway, lifiy-four times as much as lie could carry on his back.

Ill* XelKliliorx.

A minister was soliciting aid for for­eign missions, and applied to a gentle­man, who refused hint, with the re­ply, "I don't believe in foreign missions. 1 "want what I give to benetit my neigh­bors."

"Well, rejoined the minister, "whom do you regard as your neighbors?"

"Why, those around nie!" ' Do you mean those whose land Joins

Tours?" Inquired the minister. "Yes." "Well," said the minister, "how much

land do you own?" "About ."00 acres." "IIow far down do you own?" "Why, I have never thought of it

before* but 1 suppose I own half way through."

"Kxactl.v," said the clergyman, "I sup­pose you do; and I want this money for the New Zealanders—the men whose laud joins yours at the bottom."—Tit-Bits.

Secured Jnstlce.

It is usually possible to secure recog­nition for real merit, but to accomplish this some ingenuity is required at times. A French writer tells a story of French soldier, Clievert. who was as modest as he was brave, but who felt that he had waited for promotion long enough.

He had every claim to the command of 11 company in his regiment, but his colonel asked that the appointment be given to one of his proteges. Chevert went to Versailles and obtained an audience with tlie minister of war. This official said that he knew nothing about liim.

"Very well," said Chevert, "simply write to my colonel and ask him to recon niend some brave and skiirtii sol dier for an Important aud ditticult task."

The minister sent the message, and the name given in the colonel's reply \as Chevert. He received his promo-ion at once. Clievert found t.n appreciative friend

n Matshal Saxe. Tile inn rsiial heard -onie titled offl. ers speaking of their t'eilow-offlcer Clievt rt.

"The fellow rose from the ranks, -.aid one, contemptuously.

Saxe turned to the speaker and said, ••overcly, "Sir. 1 always esteemed Che­vert; now tlat 1 Kara from you that u* rose from the ranks, I lind that

mve him remeet and admiration."

A New Ore Concentrator. A new form of ore concentrator is l>e-

ng used in California with excellent re­mits, which, it is claimed, overcomes .he difficulties and objections to the lorizontal side-shake machines. Tlie ielt frame is suspended from four ion-parallel hangers, placed in a frame, nd by regulating their angle the oscil-

.atiou necessary to keep tlie sides of he belt from being overloaded with iand Is obtained, while the oscillation s not sufficient to overload the belt a the center, as Is the case with tlie •ocker. The result of this motion is i concentrating surface tlie entire width ,f the belt. The sides of the belt are ;ept up. and overflow prevented by mall rollers standing on it slotted base, f the belt shifts to cither side it can ie followed up by these rollers, and o all the purposes of molded edges, vlilch are expensive and sliort-llved, ire served.
