Crim -Doscribos an Experience in Dublin. rcsqtio not- The- Author of TlJC of a JSclxil" TeJU About-. Irish had always talked of going abroad and living in lodgings.

"Considerably tarnished arid broken naow," the man calmly replied.

"Well, if there is anything I love it is iplcnty of space," said the companion, jxnarohing up and down the room, "See nihe gorgcousne.ss of that yellow lamp 'shade-."

"You we have gas in this room jas -Troll, as- l.he lamp," said the lady, UxaUantly. what's the matter with your tho man inquired after gazing- tly at the handful of coals strutf- to bum in tho grate. ''Why, the fireplace is pretty nearly fJEed with brick. I ordered Mary Ann take them out, but she said they belonged there and she didn't dare take them out. I suppose it is to save tho coal." "An admirable scheme.

You can't Save fire enough to warm a mouse." "Yes, clever, isn't it? If 1 didn't feel so cold I'd admire them very much for being" s.o smart." That evening: the lady and the companion wore sitting- before the expiring of the fire having a little confidential talk. They had discovered that was no oil in the elegant looking Tamp, but that fact had not disturbed very ranch, as they preferred the (fas. The lady was In the midst a Jitt.les.tory when the light flared up. then faded to a blue ilauae and went out, leatfinsr a room in total darkness. "'What is the matter?" the 2oropanion, trying- to relight it.

"Do you suppose they have turned it ofT?" "Turned it, -off? What lor? They can't think we are such idiots that we'd blow it out." "No, but to save the gas." "Oh!" The clock in the church near by struck ten. "Yes, I believe they have turned it oft." said the lady, solemnly. "Get the candle out of the bedroom while I ring the boll." The companion groped her way down the dark, chilly length of the bedroom and lighted the candle. The sooty Mary Ann cama panting heavily up- stuirs. is the matter with the gas? inquired the lady.

"Faith, an' the master turns it off-at ton o'clock, mum." "The idea!" exclaimed the companion, indignantly. "Tell hiiri never to let it happen again," said the lady in her haughtiest tone. I'll tell him," and Mary Ann giggled softly to herself, as though she thought it a groat joke that anybody would send down snch an order. It was a little later in the night soul, this bed is awful." It the lady, and no ones ever hi-anl such an expression from her unless called forth by extremity of woe. The companion had gotten up softly, nnd was sitting upon the edge of her "TI1K MISTRESS SEZ, FAITH, SUB GIVES ONE TOWEL A WEEK." couch in melancholy silence, but when that cry came out of the darkness she roused herself, "Hasn't she done anything to yours, cither? Mine is past sleeping upon, it is such a series of hills and hollows." "What ('Joyou suppose the mattresses are stuffed with?" tho lady inquired, in a tone of lively curiosity.

"Sauce pans and old boots." It was not a very restful night, but morning sunshine and the faded magnificence of the drawing-room restored us to good humor. The companion used her towel for a bath, then innocently threw it upon the floor, as she had been in the habit of doing. After breakfast, when the landlady and the sooty Mary Ann had rearranged the bedroom she that towel folded and restored to its place upon the rack. She went out and told the lady, who sat by the window reading her Bible. "No clean towels? Ring for Mary Ann, please." Mary Ann came trailing a dust, broom and auraolcd clouds of dust after her.

She bobbed her head in her quaint little Irish courtesy, and said she would go ask tho mistress about our clean towels. She returned presently with this information: "The misthress sez, faith, an' she only gives one towel a week; 'tis the way o' tho ccunthry." Tho lady closed her Bible, her sweet eves looked quite ireful. is really too much, I shall go down and sec about it immediately. Think of using one towel a whole week-." She swept out of the room and downstairs. But a personal interview had very little effect.

She came back looking discouraged. "She says it is really the custom, and that for one pound a week she cannot afford to do any more." We remained at that place a week, each day a littlo wetter, drearier and colder than the preceding, and our big drawing-rooms 'absorbing all the ugly aspccts of the weather outside. Our miniature fire was totally inadequate to the situation, and we had to sit around in our outdoor wraps to keep warm. The only fun we had was furnished by Mary Ann. She was a simple creature" but possessed the proverbial Irish wit, and had a fresh, rosy young face when it was clean.

However', we only saw that phenomenon once during our acquaintance with her. We felt sure that she slept, in the coalbin, and sometimes were inclined to our landlady did tho same. Mary Ann was not a Dublin girl, but belonged to the country, "Me father an' mother are both dead au' in their graves, or I'd not be here, an'as for Araeriky, I couldn't thjek o' crossing so ranch wather. Ttvould s-oiv out me sivcrxsenscs. Then' I wouldn't, like to leave.

Ireland, you know. 'Tis me homo. Now. will yon pivi me the lend of achair while I light the gas in the hall?" After that we wore, contented to trv some smaller rooms where thinirs were cleaner and'. we could keep warmer.

Our landlady this time was an English-woman who dropped her h's with reckless prodigality and robbed us every time she had aa opportunity. We found in a few days that it was a choice between doing our own or bankruptcy, and we did the marketing. But new trials attended that esrperiment. It was nothing for one of us to have to rush out at the last moment and buy something necessary for a meal at midday or hi the dusk of evening, and we rarely went out without returning home burdened with packages, a pot of cream or marmalade, strawberries, butter and even bacon and eggs. "It makes life one continual struggle, grumbled the companion.

"What do j'ou care, if we get what we want?" said the lady, cheerfully. "But I don't think we arc getting just what we expected. I Icnow this butter will melt and run'through the paper presently." There were some sharp contrasts our surroundings, for if we had a gentlewoman on one side, we had some of the lowest types of civilized humanity on the other. Our back window opened out over an alley with only a garden the size of a pocket handkerchief between. That alley swarmed with active life from morning until night, and half the night.

Men, women and children, donkeys pigs, geese, dogs and cats wore indiscriminately mixed, and we wore often entertained with choice examples of Irish wit, though not couched in tho choicest terms. Cue evening we were startled by wild shricksof "murder! iuv.vder!"ina woman's keen, high-pitthcd voice. Other voices were quickly added, the dogs barked, the donkeys brayed and pandemonium scorned turned loose. We were terrified, but the was brave enough to open the window and look out. he timidly inquired the companion from under the pillow.

"No, indeed. Did j-ou ever know a dead woman to create such a disturbance as that?" But Mrs. our landlady, came to the door to reassure us. "You needn't be frightened. It's only Sarah Brady drunk again, and 'r 'usband is trying to get 'er 'omc.

Sho is a hartful creature, and wants to make everybody believe 'e's beating 'er. But she beats 'im, not 'e Martin's gone houtto see habout hit." After a time we became used to the rows, for a great many words but few blows seemed the order of the day with our excitable neighbors. Besides Mrs. Twombly had absorbed the attention hitherto given to the alley. She was perpetually excusing her grasping disposition with this remark: "You see, 'urn, Martin hand me arc young, hand 'ave our way to make.

Wo 'avc igh rent to pay, and must keep these rooms set." She was always "sotting" the rooms, and we finally discovered that it meant renting them to lodgers. She told us her family history, also the long courtship with her husband. "Hi waited for 'im twelve years, hand don't yoli think hit was time for 'im to keep 'is word to me? Time hand time mother said: 'Arrict, hi want you hand Mattin to marry. You know 'is w.oys, hand you the wife But 'e was over 'ere Dublin "aving a. good time, hand me 'ard hat work.

You see, 'urn, hit was this way. May father was land steward to the dook o' Bedford, hand we children were sent hout to work lias soon as we were hold enough, for my father loved the little lords hand lad'ics more than 'c loved us, hand 'e was afraid we'd be in the way on the hestato." It was pathetic and funny to listen to all these things and the unfolding of the trials her married life, for she unconsciously betrayed all the angles and mean-places in her own character. Martin would not go to England after TVE DIB IDE M.U^KETLSG. her, so sh.e finally went to Dublin to him, and uhey were married. And then followed more trials with Martin's rela- his -uncle and aunt, with whom they lived for a time.

One day the lady came in looking determined and desperate. "Are you thoroughly satisfied with our lodging cxpcrimeE.t?" "The first day satisfied me." "Then pack your trunk." That evening we -were comfortably housed in a large hotel, with plenty of towels, hot and cold water and gas. and sat down to dinner iei a large diniig room where well trained waiters were moving softly about. "Now, this is something like life," said the man, hi a satisfied tone. "Yes, 1 am so glad to get back again.

We've been living in a book. Hereafter 1-11 be content to simply read them." "But we lived very inexpensively in the book." MATT CniM. A SCIENTIFIC MARVEL. A Broken Soap Hubble Plotting on Liquid Air. One of the most wonderful achievements in recent scientific progress is the liquefaction of air.

A remarkable story of this curious substance and a soap bubble experiment is told in a la to review of scientific experiments in general, and is as follows: "A frozen soap bubble, broken in two, and floating like an iridescent, tvans- I parent egg shell on the surface of a vessel of liquid air was one of the marvels exhibited by Prof. Dewar in a recent lecture before the Eo3'al institution of Britain. "The lecture was on atmosphere and the curious effects of intense cold, the liquid air and soap bubble being adjuncts introduced to facilitate some explanations. A few spoonfuls of the liquid air were, poured into a vessel, and the intense cold caused by evaporation immediately induced a miniature snowstorm in the atmosphere directly above the vessel. A soap bubble was then lowered into the freezing stratum above the liquid air.

Almost instantly there, was- a change in the color of tho transparent globe, the bubble becoming much darker; the movements of the rainbow fijni grew slower; it contracted somewhat in size, and a moment later froze. A slight but dexterous movement of the rod upon which 1 tho bubble was suspended broke the latter into two pieces, which fell, cup side upon the liquid air and there floated lor an hour, gradually accumulating a tiny snowdrift from the almost imperceptible precipitation constantly going on in the freezing atmosphere THE COLORED SUNS. Planets That Have Plummy of Variegated Luminaries. For hundreds of years it has been the dream of the speculative astronomer to prove that life exists in some form on part or all of the millions of stars which surround us. For 'ages, says the St.

Louis Republic, men believed that out globe was the center of all things, and that the stars and planets moved about it like ohe automatic celestial bodies in an To-day it is positively known that our little world is but a grain of sand floating iu the great sea of space; and that myriads of other similar grains, some smaller and some larger, also float in the same ethereal ocean, and have so floated for millions of years without coming in collision with each other. So, too, it is with the sun. Some imagine that the great, warm, brazen orb which is just now forcing spring up the valley is the only one in the great universe. Astronomers believe differently, and have proven, to their own satisfaction at least, that there are hundreds of such bodies, each surrounded by his train of planets. Some sets of planets, like our own -solar system, have but one sun; others two or three.

One of the greatest curiosities in the matter of plural suns is exhibited in what is known as the "solar of Gamma," where eauh. planet has continuous daylight furnished by three suns, each of a different color. Neither of the three orbs mentioned is of the white color of onr solar trinity being composed of suns of yellow, blue and green. They are so set in spaco that when one is at the zenith another is either rising or setting. What a glorious sight that must be to a possible observer in the system of Gamma! The Canadian minister of agriculture has ordered that, all cattle entering any of the quarantine stations shall be subjected to the tuberculin test.

One valuable bull was found to be affected with tuberculosis, and the owner was given the alternative, of having him slaughtered without compensation or returning him to the United States, whence he came.

AND INCIDENTALLY CROWS POORER EVERY YEAR. ARLES- GRAHAM, who is one of the most successful of Amerloan sonpr-writers, is an example of a man whose genius has made fortunes for others. "While he has written many songs that have attracted widespread larity. Mr. Graham is still poor.

The music publishers who have sold his sonjJrs have all got the profits and Mr. Graham has got only fame. He says that the public -who hoar the newest yreat song: of tho day ground out on plano-onrans or xcar- blc'd in concert halls little imrtplne the hardships and struggles that have often to be endured by the follows who arc the originators or these popular melodies, and in whom the love of is rarely accompanied by the business instinct which would enable them to coin their sonars into dollars. Charles Graham was born in Boston, Enfiland. in 1S63.

He inherited his musical ffifis, for his father was a musician and composer of good repute. The boy after learning- to play the piano at a Boston college save evidence of a promising future and at the age of 10 yoai-s composed little nu-loilies which were suns in chorus by his college companions. In 1SSO. beins then 17 years of he landed at S. At first he saw- no openinpr for his musical senius, and he accepted a position in a hotel.

Then, after managing- several local quartets, In which he himself sans' bass, he drifted to York City. His first song for publication was composed In when he wrote "Don't Forget You, Lassie," which was published by Willis Woodward, of Xew York, and created a stir, as the music world realized that a new genius had, come among them. It was fitting about this time that the writer of love songs should himself plead guilty to the tender passion, and so it happened that In 1SS6 Charles Graham took unto himself a bride. But although in his marrieQ life he has been very happy and is the father four children, and although his songs have repeatedly won success, It has always been the publishers who have cut off the coupons, while the author and composer gathered, as it were. only "the crumbs that fell from the rich roan's table." A few months after his marriage, he wrote that wonderful success which even to-day IB a standard favorite at many of our best concerts.

Jf the Waters Could Speak as They From this song tho publishers have made many thousands of dollars, while the composer only managed to secure a few hundred. After this he continued to wrfte rapidly. He now received from an unexpected source a suggestion for a song that was destined to be sung by almost everybody all over the world. His brother went to the theater one evening and witnessed a performance of "Blue Jeans." Playgoers will remember that. In one of the scenes, the ohl man enters and demands the picture of the heroine turned, toward the wall.

Gnihnm's inventive faculties grasped the Idea at once, and, although too sick with rheumatism to venture out. he there and then wrote and composed that most pathetic of all song-stories, entitled "The Picture That Is Turned Toward the Wall." From tho sale of that song Graham made, in small amounts at a time, about $500 altogether in royalties. The publishers made from that same song the enormous sum of $25,000. Mr. Graham cites these figures to show the discrepancy between the reward of genius and that of business tact, and to Impress upon the budding song-writers, who imagine that a few rhymes lead to instant popularity, how ill-paid a profession song-writing is.

Still the young writer stuck to his post, but life had become very unsettled with him. Home and Bohemia did not get along well together; one or the other had to be neglected, and, although CHARLES GRAHAM. desiring to be faithful to his hearthstone duties, the spirit of camaraderie was growing stronger, and the popular composer was quickly surrounded by friends who took all, but gave nothing in return. Then came another wonderful success from Graham's pen, "Two Little Girls in Blue." sung, played, whistled and parodied everywhere, lisped by the tiniest tots and yellod with delight by the strongest men. There have been few such, songs'that have jumped so instantaneously Into popular favor, yet for this song Charles Graham received the sum and at the time was clad to get it.

After the song- became popuJar he received an additional J500 from the publishers.
