A PAIR OF I<:AR drops.
HE qnecrcst tLings that happen never And their way into ibe newspapera. It ia diflicult io see wby; perhaps it is because tbey are too queer. For in- atanco, I donbt if yon have ever heard of a certain strange incident tbat hap¬ pened only a seaaon or two ago in that select section of the fashionable world known as "society."
A Indy of title, Lady Barmoath, re¬ quested mo to call on her one morning abuut the beginning of June, thu Lon¬ don season being then at its height.
"1 want your help, Mr. Lowe," sbe be;2an, and then atopped awkwardly. "Perbapa you sre not aware that at Boveral balls and dinner parties thia season tbere bnve been jewela and or- nameuts atolen. It bas. of course, caused a great deal of unpleasantnesB. In several oaaes trinkets havo been actually taken from tbe wearers, with¬ out tbeir knowing how it was done, or who did it."
I heard aeveral wild tales of articles haviug been missed at faahiooable gatherings, and there was some speo- alation as tu wbu was the culprit. Tbe articles were not, as a mle, of im¬ mense value, aud tbey always disap¬ peared singly, consequenllr .no public notice bad been directed to the mat¬ ter. Jn ooe or two oases tbo polioe had been consnlted, bnt it wss impos¬ sible for tbem to help. Tbere oould be no donbt that tbe thief was a per¬ son who mixed in society as an equal; probably a women, who had allowed her lovo of jewelry to tempt her to dishonesty.
"I presume, then, that tho—er tbief is a guest—a person iu sooiety?" I said iniuiringly.
"I am afraid so. Two or tbree things were missed at a dauoo wbich I gavo last woek. Now, I am giving another dance next Thursday, and I am, of oourse, most aaxioa.4 it should uot occur again, at any rate in luy buUBC. I thought I would engage your acrvicet for the evening, to aee if you could detect anytbiug sus¬ picious. Of course, you wuul.l be treated as a guest."
I made arraugcmeuls abont terma, and it was agreed that I abould bo in¬ troduced aa an American, by namo Laptain Burke.
"I suppose, LaJy Ilarmoutb," I aaid cureli-.sely, "you don't auapoot Ruyliody iu particular?"
"Ob, no," aho tnid, but I noticed whnt 1 thongbt was a look of anxiety on ber face, nnd made a mental uoto of it.
Aa I wns lenving, Lndy Barmonth said: "Of course, Mr. Lowe, yon quite understand, there must be no expose. If you make auy diaooveriea, they must bo treated as eecrets. I cau't have a scene uf any kiud. It must be bushed u|."
I returned to tbo oflieo impressed wilb two ideas. First, tbat my tusk was oue of thoae delicate casea tbat re¬ quire oil yonr tact an.l yiold very lit¬ tlo credit; Fccondly, Ihat Lady Bar mouth kuew more, or at auy rate, guetsc.l more, tban i-bc cnred to tell. Thuri-day evening arrived, au.l I went to Merion Houio. rractically, my dnly waa tu miugle with tbe gueata, enjoy myself, an.l keep my eyes wi.le open. Nothing seemed tu lie moro imprr<bablo tban tbat there ab.inid l:e a tbief aiiioni; tbe brilliant thron;; tbat crowdeil tho rooms. Kvorytbiug wfts oou.liioled in tlio most i-uiuiiIuiiiih aud luxurious style, a Uungarian band diac.iursed tbo Bweetes-t of dance music, an.l tbe giieats were nmonu; tbe highest in thl' lan.l.
For a loni? wbilo nothing 'iccurred of tbo smnlkst niiiuiticAUCi'. I'.iit at about ¦i u'eiiick lu tbe morning, while I waa aittini{ lu a t-ati.^ corni-r uf tbo couBirvalory, whi-recigarette smokioR was pi-rmitte.l, I noticed a couple take up a position lo tbe opposite c.irner. They were both -loun..-, an.l evi.lently very much lu live with ou>- nn.ither. Tbo girl was lisu.iaoiuely ilresse.1, aud wore some v.ilutiblo jewels. In ^lar- ticular I nutice I a y:\-.t ot diamonl enr .irops, wbidi hs.l just come into lai-biou Bi^iiio. Wlth.iut l.eiug a eon- noi>Benr o.' precuins stonea, I unler- nlan.l Ihem well luouRb -u know that these Wire very vo'.uable in.leed, au.l likily   tu   be   w ,rtli tevcral   hundred

.\t last th. y p.t up an I went iuto tho Lall r.i.im a,am. Oa the cbmr wbere the girl had been sitting, lay M.uu-tbing  hiLiUiH. I fttr.i'.l...! across au.l i-xamMie.l it. It was ber vinai- i^rette. which aiie bal probably left there l.y acci.lenl. I replaced it. tliuikiug It miKht M-rve HS a tru;. for .-ir'":'l«shionslile tuiel. ii he wire in \h.! uciihi'.-rbiio.i, au.l mlti.lrew to UIV corner, vbere 1 was. almost invis- ib':e.

He now ba.l bis buck to m-<. I was on tbo point of stepping np to bim, when bo tarne.l ronn.l, nul replaced the vinnigrelle and  wnlked   quietly awny.
It was lucky I had not moved. I ahould bnvo looked rather fooUeb. .Same curious instinct bale me cr.>ss tho conservatory, nnl look at the vinaigrette aj^nin. Without thinking abont it 1 put it to ray nose.
Tho ucit thing I remember is, that I found myself eitting in a chnir. Gradually, things beoamo clearer. Tbo vinaigrette lay by my aide. It was dragged. For n text ininntea I bad loat conncionsness. I still folt dizzy pni aick, but Knowing tbat everylhing depetided on ray being prompt nnd ncnte, T managed with au clT.irt to pull myaelf together.
Then arose the qealion. What abould I do next? Sbonld 1 go atraigbt to Ibc mm wbo ba.l tampered witb the vinaigrette'.' A moment's thought showed mo that that would bo worse thau usclesa. 1 had nu proof of nny¬ thlng. Tbo situation must be allowed to develop itself before   I   interfered.
After aome little reflection, I decid¬ ed to go back to the drawing room, wbere I could seo what was guing on. Under any circumstnucea I muat not lose aight of tbo girl to wbom tho vin- ttigretlo belonged.
For nenrly balf an bour I wailed in vnin. Sbe dauced with two or tbree diftercnt men, but did nut soem to bavo missed it.
At last, after ono of tbe dance?, abo appeared to be looking for something. With wbalrwas, I presume, nn apology to ber pnrtner, she skipped ncroaa the room to a group of girla. Evidently she woa asking if any ol them bad aoon her viuiagrette. For aome time sho got no information, bnt preaently a girl ATho was passing, leaning on a man's arm.Tturned round and made some remark, pointing with her fan to tho conservatory door. The owner of tbo viuiagrette gave a little nol of thanks, and hurried ncross the room.
All thia time I observed Ibat the man whoJiad drugged the scent bot¬ tle, and wbo was chatting with eomo of Ihe people standing nboat, watched the girl closely.
As soon]aa sbo left tbo drawing room ho Broke off hia conversation, and strolled quietly toward the conserva¬ tory. As he passed through tho cur¬ tains I noticed that ho glanced round to aee if he were being followed.
'Ihat settled it; I had found my man, and must act promptly. Lady Bormouth was standiug uear tbe piano. Ilomembering ber injunction tbat there was not, nuder sny oironm- atnuoes, to bo an expose or a scene, it was necessary to proceed with caution* I cangbt her eyo without much diffl¬ culty. Sbe uuderitood at oooe that 1 had something to say, and disengaged herself from her friends.
"Will you come with mo to the oon- servntory?" I said quietly. "I be¬ lieve I bave solved tbo myatery."
Sbe turned pale. "'Very well," ahe said. "Give me your arm. Bo care¬ ful what you do. Mr. Lowe, she added, in a troubled voice; "It must bo hushed up."
When we renohod tho oonsorvatory we fonnd, just as I oxpoot'^d, tbo yonng lady lying baok in a ohair nn- conscions. Her ear dropa were miss¬ ing.
"Miss Dainton has fainted," aaid Lady Barmouth.
"Uue moment," I said ; "there ia no enure for alarm. Do you soo what bas happened? llor diamond oar drops bavu disappeared."
"Do you know wbo it is?" ahe whis¬ pered.
"Yea. Her vinaignetto han been drugged—nol aufficiently to do ber any barm.    I saw it done."
"What aball I do? Fetch Lord Bar¬ moath,   will you?   He   must   advise
SClE.XriFiC AM> I.NUl'SrniAL.
"Wbioh is Lord Barmouth?"'
Sbcoame to thecnrtains, and pointed him out to mc.
"Very well," said 1. "Chafe Miss Dainton's hindo, and try to bring her ronnd, but dou't send for nny help at present."
I don't think I ever felt so reluctant to proceed with a caae aa I did at thnt miuute. Tbe man whom Lady Dar- mont had pointed out as her husband was tbe man wbo bad drugged tbe viuaigrctio—who had followed Miss Dainton into tbo oonsorvatory. In a word. Lord Barmouth was a kleptu- maniac.
"Will you ;nmo with rao into the oouservatory. Lord Barmouth?"! said. As I spoko I looked him sternly iu the face. Ho turned deadly white, and his eyes sbifto.l nervously abont tbe room.
"What'a Ibo matter?" ho said, hus¬ kily.     "Is anything wrong?"
"Misa Dainton haa fainted."
"Oh," bo murmured, witb relief.
"Aud ber car drops havo diaap- peared," I ad.led. For a moment I tbonxht he waa going to drop down. I put my nrm Ibrougb bis, aud led bim toward the conservatory. Hc wns trembling like a leaf.
When wo got well into tho ahadow of tho cnrlHios I Btoppo.l. "Lord Barmouth." I anid quietly, "tako my advice nnd give Ibem up to mo at once."
"Wbnt do you mean?" bo anld hoarsely.
"Tlie onr dropa. It will proveit a acene."
He put a trembling band into tbe breast po.-ket ut bia dreas coat nud gave mo the far dr.ip'. He did it liko a man lu a .Ircaui, and I really believe that for tho time being be was uncon¬ scious, 'iben hc turned away and left tho .Irawin? r-iom hurrie.ily.
"Will bo not comcV a-ii-l Lady Barmouth, with an awfal look uf trouble in ber eyos.
"I.ord Harmouth ia not well," I re¬ plied,     •'litre are Ihe ear drops. "
fbe poor woman went scarlet. She knew what I meant an.l I was deeply gr-.eved for ber. Frora tho lirst sbe must have ba.l a faint aus|iieion of tne trntb, aud wsa anxious to aave him frum public dis^;race and scandal.
Sbe     was     thoroughly    unnerved. I Miss Dainluu ahowed   sigca of icturn- ing cocisciunsnesa. j
"Now, " 1 Mi.l, "put the ear stops bick iuto btr ears, ^jbo won't know what bas bappene.l."
Ln ly Barmouth replaced them with In mlilinR linrTera.
".Sen-l   aome   one   to look aflor this girl; I'll stoj. with b: r till belp eomes.  | Unt yon must go an I   tiu I   vour hus- ' bnu.l'.     Mske baite,"   I added, siguia cautly, "or yoa will be toii lale. '

Iu tbe seveu montha preceding Juty 30 there had been 4ri.S deaths in that city from variola; and at this day peo¬ ple expect somo explanation of the reason wby so many preventable deaths have ocourrod.

The weight o( acar provided with aluminum fittings ia ono and a half tons less than tbat of Iho old coaches. As an ordinary train iu France oonaista of twenty vehicles, Ihe weight of tbe traiu would thus be rcdnced bj^ thirty tons.
The Tasmautan Zebra-Wolf.
The Tasmnnianzobra-wolf, or native tiger, IS not related to either zebra, wolf or tigor, but belongs to the same lamily as Ihe kaugaroo, the wombat and tbeopossum—those animals whiob have poncbea wherein to carry their young. But the animal is striped like a zebra, and is as ravenous-and fierce ia its nature as wolf or tiger. He it tno most formidable marsupial of the more than aixty vsrieties, and is-the largest nnd most dreaded of all the mammnis in Australasia.
The zebra-wolf has a dog-like taoCra wolf's short and erect ears, eyes like an owl, stripes like a zebrii and pouch liko n kangaroo. He is a night prowler. The light of day blinds him as it blinds an owl, and, when pressed by hunger, ho emerges duriug the dnytimo from bia lair, his movements aro slow and he ia eaaily slain.
The eyes, wbioh are largo, are fur¬ nished with a nictitating membrane. This is nimost oontinually moving in tho daytime, as tbe pnpils aro ex¬ posed to the light.
Tbo geueral oolor of the short, woolly fur is grayish brown, inclined to yellowish. Acrosa this gronnd oolor tbo blaok bands show up sharp and clear. Those stripes are nanally fourteen in number, beginning jnst back of tho shonlders, where they aro narrowest, and groniug broader and longer back tu tho haunches. The skins aro iu demand for laprobes and rugs.
It is not unlikely that in tho courso of a fow years tbo zobra-wolf will have become entirely exterminated.

Where They Never Stamp [letters.
The letters that tho Sikh police, ia Singapore, send their kindred in In¬ dia, and those that they receive in re¬ turn, aro almost invariably minus any postage stamps. Ono of their Furopean oflicers noticing this, askod ono of the mou the reason for this universal omission, and it wns explained tbat tho nntive postmnn's ideas of honor concerning tho delivery of native let- tors nru restricted to towna. Should tbe epistle bo addreased to a man in the viilaf.je some miles from the oflice, the pottiuau duly takes the letter and etarts, but after going n littlo way slijis iuto tbo nearest patch of jungle and throws it away, thns aaving bim¬ eelf any (urther trouble in tho matter. It is curiona to note that letters are seldom rifled. 'Tbo trouble o{ walk¬ ing ao (ar for a more lotter seems to worry tbo uutivo mind, and no curi¬ osity is aronsed as to the contents.
If the letter, however, is unstamped, thc unhappy postman must deliver it nt its dcstinalioD, as he is bound to produce on bia return a receipt for fbo flno imposed for tbe omitted stamps.
'Tbey bear nu ill will to the post¬ man—probably they would do tbe same io bis jilace; but they know tbo length of bia tetber and take atops to frustrate his methoda accordingly.

After a woman haa been Ihrongh the bnnds of her dressmaker, it will bo moro than ever diflicult this year to determine her physical proportions, or oven to make a reasonably aoonrato gueas aa to whether she is plump or Rorawoy.

Some young girls bave actually gone into physical oolture (or tbe sake of deve¬ loping their arms. By the time they have rounded them oat, though, there will probably be a complete change in tbe eut of sleeves.

A neglige, or house gown, muat be comfortable, durable, pretty and in some oolor suited to the wearer when at her worst, whioh means when tired oul, pale and careworn.
If the wearor is an nnfortanate wo¬ man who loses all color in her cheeks and lips when fatigued, sbo shoald avoid gray ur black as she wonld a peati- leuoo; deep, bright red, golden brown with orange, navy bluo with soarlet, terra cotts, green or rose oolor will prove beoomiug to the most haggard face.
I'ale blues, pinks, yellows ahoald be selected only by womeu ot warm col¬ oring o( skin and hair.
Pretty, inexpensive materials for these house gowus are cashmere, albatross cloth, Freuoh flannel and crepo stuSa of wool or silk.
Mohair or alapaca ahoald be avoid¬ ed, as neither warm nor graceful, Qoods that crush aro especially nnde- eirablc, as are trimmings tbat are too Que to endure an afternoon siesta.
Eight dollnrs will buy the cashmere for such a gown, linings of outing flannel, ribbons, n bit of lace for tbo collar and a pretty pair of 'Turkish ilippors.—>few York Jonrnal.

A stndy of lamp shades showa clear¬ ly that tbu sevore Empire shade is moro and more replacing the elaborate laoe aud silk nrtieles tbat have made tho tall lamps of tho household look like dancing girls for a 'number ol )-ears post. These simple shades, made of water color paper, aro still much decorated in Delft ett'ects, but iro beginning, too, to show a greater variety of treatment. On one a close aud abundant wreath of poppies was painted with great skill and lldelity to nature. 'The artist, indeed, bad contrived to give to these ratber stiff blossoms a touch of graceful cluster¬ ing tiat does not belong to tbem nat¬ urally, and which, with their splen¬ did coloring, oontribnted a beautifni result. As much brilliant effect cau be necured iu these painted shades ns iu tbose made uf tulle and silk and in more nrtisti? fashion. Conventional lampa and ahades, however, are not so much sought now as the lamp that is evolved from something not originally intended to seive in that capacity.
