My Friend The Communist. [Frem Lippincott’s Mazazine for October.] There was plenty of bri y about Paul Forbes, and when, after his return from E' rope, he took a fancy to spend bis 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 had,sounded life and experience to the bot- tom and could relate his experleaces ina clear, pleture: d fought through the war ofthe rebellion, betonged to secret 30- cieites fi ‘ope, studied art under G— and lived in Parts during the commune; he had ‘nN newspaper correspondent, and book and three plays, all dead Tall- lie called lulmself a champio he took the world with an a! cess, and his accumulated experiences, 1n- stead of dep him, affurded him a fund of Material upon which ‘his imagination acted With powerful vivaelty. I found iim and its sation very fascinating. A holy frlead- up between us. He pronounced a communist and, after long argu- ments, ilte converted ine to bis tdeas. When, fina e made the § tion in his. tran! dictatorial fashion that we sould live toreth and have eve hing in common, I was touched d e idea, besides betng seeretly » notion of identifying my ta- reer with that of an intellectual t.

As I had an excellent room on 12th street, it ‘Was not necessary that we should find new cle of the quarters. Paul brought his effects and settled ownat once. While we were discussing ways and means, he had talked a good deal about his “furniture.” and I had gained the fdea that his belongings would inaugurate an era of sumptuous luxury in my modest apartment. I confess It did seein to me that these hints were not practically carried out. He had, it 1s 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 a firmed to be a superb piece of furniture, but itcame to pieces when moved, and when the remains were ried to the nearest c: a that tt could be- y lated.

I began at once to enjoy his library, and was not slow to notice a singular circumstance; all | the books had different’ names on thelr iy- Jeaves, as if they had been drawn from various private libraries. I questioned Paul about Unis, 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 “Brtx"), “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 abook when shut away in a library? As Weil shut away sunshine. When socléty is revolutionized, when selfishness and narrow- ness no longer characterize men and raters, books will be like the dew which falls from heaven. Your or my right to a book lies ta the need of it.” 1 could readily see that there was a good deal in this; stil! public libraries offer factiities to the poor maa. “Too much circumlocution, too much red tape,” sald Paul. “By the very asking for a articular book you become the huiniliated ndsman oF certain rules which crainp and fetter every genuine impulse. 1 want bo9Ks to suit my convenience.

We got on capitally. Paul had made an esti- | mate of our expenses: I Was to farnish #5) a | month besides the room, and he would coa- tribute the equivalent. But as all his sshemes | turned out uuluckiiy, and he had no money, the entire expense devolved upon me. We breakfasted together in our room. Paul wasa capital cook, and used to get up at daylight in the cold winter mornings and broilour bacon, cook our homipy and make our coffee. Then in the evening, when we met again, he would often offer a Suggestion of supper. I ovcas- ionally had a dim suspicion, which sometimes amounted to a certainty, that the poor fetlow needed his supper, having had neither lun- cheon nor dinuer, so I never begrudged it. Iu fact, I begrudged him nothing. “He was a most deligntful companion, and over our oysters and lager beer would pour out confesstons sugyes- tive, romantic, heart-stirring. I could not ad- m- | to get my dress-clothes. They were not there. I looked in the clothes-press, I looked every- where. I did not readily admit the possibility that they were actually gone. There are cir- cumstances embitter friendship. I swore at Paul with most cordial profanity. He had gone out attired in my dressing- sult. “irretragabie proof; his own habiliments (ne fae but one set Of garments) hung in the closet. Every man has his vulnerable point. I had liked Paul's views of a universal brotherhood; there was something ennob! in the renun- ciation of selfish ind{vidual claims; 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 meen himseif in the condition of a gentieman. 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 makiag an appearance in Trultiess evening attire arnong 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 the dinner tn my rouga morning-clothes? Even it Tom and his father overlooked the fanlt. the fair Lulu would o! serve It with feminine fastidiousness, and mai up ber mind that I was altogether sun ber ideal. But I had no messenger to and] determined to go and avenge my wron zs by telling everybody the reason of my betag}o this piight. “here was no end to the ¢ satrical observations concerning Paul and his tl ories I made myself on the way to to table, and J was at once ushered into the dining-rocm.

It ts a dis- tinct blessing to me that Brix is alive.

She evidently consid- ced ita fellowship like that of lame et la Tes Isat dumb. My wit was generally too early ortoo late. I knéw not in what form to attack Paul—whether fearlessly to expose him as a wolf in sheep's clothing, or humiliate, sting and wound him by satire. I could not, ho' ever, find a chance to speak; I sat ike an awk- ward boy. Of course my dinner was spolied. 1 made mistakes in my wine, and Mr. Thatcher came to my relief with ofticious Instructions that be did not intend the Clos Vougeot to go with the salad. Wherever I failed Paul shone. He was well dressed, whereas I was ill-dresse he W sulky and silent. I discovered that he had spent a month with the Tiatchers {nu Italy. It was easy to see how they regarded him—a Man not too young, far from rich, yet who bad seen and possessed the best part of the world— a sort of Ulysses. I was rayless beside him. When I finally rallied and made some trifling observations, they fell flat, while Paul’s least remark was pondered and treasured. I pleaded an engagement, illness, something, and left the house as soon’as we rose from the table. I went home and sat up moodily wutil Paul eame in. J foresaw aclimax of emotion, wrath and the end of our friendship. He en- tered just past midnight with a jaunty air. “still up?” sald he,’ putting his hatd on my shoulder. “By the way, Brix, had I dreamed that you were invited to the Thatchers’ to- mine we would have tossed up for the dress- sul “Tossed up?” I retorted fiercely. “This 1s istinetly too much.” What ts too much?” “Ihave not been backward in “You were S chatty, even brilliant, whereas I was onterring reat with my own self-respect,” I gasped, ‘but for you to wear the very clothes I—” “You don’t mean to say, Brix, that you bi grudged me the use of this coat and waiste and trousers?” I wanted to be rough with him; I wanted to express with the utwost force my raze at the affront, the wrong, he had put upon me.

Tom Thatcher had just come back from Europe with his father and sister Lulu. They were the oldest and best friends I had tn the world, and Luiu I had adored almost from my infancy. Tom had hunted me up al- MOSt as soon as he landed, and urged me to dine with them the very next evening at the old house on Twenty-tifth 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 aud tbus lost my invitation. When Paul came In and began to explain how he came to wear my overshoes, etc., 1 interrupted him with an “Allright! I'm glad you did so.” “Brix,” he returned with fervor, “you're a Capital fellow! You have treated me like a brother and—” “That was the compact,” sald 1; “we were tasbare and share alike.” “If Lever get rich—” exclaimed Pal with some ardor, T looked at him and laughed. It was evident that Paul had some personal schemes in view and I diverted myself a little all the next diy, imagining what Wonderful financial successes be was hoping for.

Gelatine, which 1s really nothing else than a very care‘ully pre- pared glue, is not convertible in the human System Into blood, fat, flesh or bone. If an ani- mal were fed entirely on pure gelatine he would die of starvation. Where its great use is fonud ‘3 as a vehicle where tn most diluted form food can be administered. For invalids, if jetly is used, it should be nade of calves’ feet; in such a preparation the juices of the meat exter largely into the composition of the substance, and real food ts taken. Sometimes it 1s the very bulk of such food which makes the physt- cian order stimulants to be given in jel- lies, even when made of pure gelatine a pure mechanical action takes plice, which sometimes start the human machine. Blanc manges made of gelatine with milk are, therefore, admirable of their kind. We do not, in sickuess, make as much use as we should of jellies made of Iceland moss, which constantly ordered by forelyn physicians. ‘Though the nourishing quality of the moss, per se, 1s very slight, such salts of todine and bro- maine as {t possesses are of positive value. The preparation of Iceland moss jelly 1s of the ut- most simplicity: An ounce of the moss may be steeped In tepid water over night, carefully washed and cleaned from grit, then mixed with water bolled down to a pint, straiued, sweet- ened and have sherry wine added to ir last, or It may have milk put into it. Its pecullar slight sea flavor has often awakened a lethargic ap- etite, It 1s curtous to notice in sensibie cook- coks such receipts given as for harishorn jelly and ivory jelly, which have no posstbie use, aud are renipants of an empirical school, which belonged to the year 1500; any bones, horns, or hoofs would answer quite the same ‘purpose; such stuplditles are to be classed amorg old women’s receipts. in England port wine is very largely used asa stimulant, but it is dificult to procure in the United States. Its particular advantages are not salient; owing its* tonic qualities to an ad- mixtuie with a foreign snbstance, ‘mless, of course, such heavy red Callfornla wines as are now made can be substituted for port wine. It need not be expatiated upon how necessary it {s to procure the very best brandy or wine for the sick-room, for between the best and the next best the health of the patient may depend. French wines (the red ones) in convalescence can be highly recommended, but their merits tn very low stages of heaith are very much doubt- ed. As to white wines, whether French or Ger- man, they should be discarded.—[N. Y. Times. Decr Hunting in the Adirondacks. At 7 the hunters are off. Three or four dogs are started on as many trails by the hunters, who cften take-long tramps through the thick woods for that purpose. Generally, however, it takes only a few minutes to find a track, and the Gog starts, baying as he goes at Irregular intervals on the trail made, perhaps, the night before. He wanders about uncertatnly for a Ume, as the deer has fed, and then goes off straight and quickly out ‘of hearing behind some wooded hill. The hunter knows, thes. that the deer has left off feeding. tnat the dog has not roused him as yet, buf thas he 1- probably lying at rest after his ntght’s travel. So the hunter uses his ears’ in. stead of his eyes; he Ustens for the los sounds, The air is full of murmurs; now be thinks ‘he hears the dog, but it 1s only some great fly buzzing rods away. An hour 1s gone the ear is tired of its straining, and ve scan the bay. It may be the deer has Come to wat ‘t often does before the dog is heard. He looks along the border of the lake, where the leaning cedars make a dark zone; many an unpraciiced eve has lost the game in that deep shadow. He sees some ficating object far down the take, at which he strains his eyes; It ts a loon that laughs at him and dives and floats away. The lily pads rise from the water with the breeze, and cheat him into another long debate between the sense and ri son. Another hour Is gone, and eye as well a: ear Is tired. Blueberries or raspberries are thick about him, and he picks them and gives an oc- casional glance about the lake. A vrash comes across the lake from the hill to startle the strained senses. It 1s some great tree falling tn the woods tbat jars the earth, shocks the air and makes the pebbles lap the water on the beach. In the hush that follows the faintest baying of the hound fs heard, far off but quite distinct. Echo makes a plaything of the sound, throwing 1t from hill to hill, giving it to you first from one point, then from another, cheat- ing you all the time. You spend two whole hours in listening to that sound, and then it les down again, and your guide concludes the deer has gone to water in some distant lake And then you push off your boat for a start homeward, when all at once on the hillside, chose to the place where the dog first took the tall, he breaks out again, loud and urgent, barking, yelping, howling in one continuous stream of noise, He has the deer ahead of him this time sure enough. Now everything is ex- citement; there is ‘no fatigue ineyes or ears Round the hill they go, deer and dog, up the lake shore towards the head. ‘Will he go in there?” we asked. “No,” replied the guide; “we never watch that place.” Back they come, right towards our watching place “Will he come in?” we ask. ‘Not yet,” ts the reply. The chase turns and goes rapidly up a brook bed towards High pond: another turaand back they come, this ie through a swamp. We can feel the perplexity of the dog as the marshy soil defeats his scent and breaks his baying into infrequent and impatient howls ‘The swamp is line and as the chase leads off in astraight line parallel with the shore, our uide fairly shouts, “That deer is ours. There 6 goes straight for Great Forked and right into B.’s hands.” We walt minutes that seem hours. “Why doesn’t he shoot? The deer is in the bay long before this.” B.’s rifle cracks two miles away, and the hunt is up. Five hours of ; Steady watching give usa deer. It ts the story of a representative hunt, which might have been varied in a score of ways and ended in defeat at last.—[Cor. Springfield Republican, THE DUTY OF AN AUDIENCE.—Surely the ob- ligation of the public toward their entertatners 4s not discharged by the mere money trans action that secures to the one a seat, and com- pels the other to perform certain pieces. So- Clety would crumbie if our dealings with our fellow-creatures were conducced on the hard- and-fast lines of contracts alone, setting aside all considerations of courtesy and good feeling We pay our servants, and yet clovae our com- mands in the dress of politeness. We are not obliged to express in a theater what we do not feel, but we are not obliged, if we admit that courtesy 1s among the canonsof govd- breeding. to abstain from indtfferences so pronounced. We go even further, and assert that audiences when pleased shouid show thelr approbation fiankly, They would be great gainers by af- fording such cordial encouragement. Artists are proverbially the most sensitive of mortals. They cannot do thelr best for lymphatic spec- tators; applause is to them like water to the thirsty; 1 puts fresh life into them. Englisb audieLces are Painfully cold, and tn fashionable theaters indiflerence is chic. The passionate enthusiasm of an Italian or Vienuese house would be voted adsuid by our languid youths and insipid maidens of the pit and tue gods that the artists look for encouragement. Stieat in- difference ts, however, negative. No one has a light to meddle with people because they are too stupid or tco affected to take an interest, or, if they take it, to show it. Talking 1s positive, and as It is insulting and annoying to both ectors and honest play-coers, it ought to be put down. Behtnd the scenes notices are posted up requesting the artists not to speak in the wings during the performance of the play. A notice, “Talking is prohibited,” might prove useful in the stalls and boxes, and we think one oc two additions could be made. We would suzgest the foliowing: “Gentlemen requiring constant refresiment are requested to ieture to their Places befure tie curtain is ruug up again, and not. to begin seaveuiug for their hats und coats before the conclusion cf the play.”—[Bmly Fait) full, in the Theater. icu tage to Gerived from these stimulants when given in | Timber Rafts of the Black Forest. ‘The bauer ts primarily and by nature a wood- man, and a very rtion of the Black | employed road and water, of this chief product of land.

Here ed 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 or tall pine trees have been joined. Tothe foremost a sort of rough | bow—a hallowed tree trunk—ts usually fixed, | and the last section of the raft is fitted witn a | rudder formed of a Stripling pine, ‘The frail, extraordinary-looking craft Is now launched on er a voyage. A man stands at the bow to steady it, the water flying up be- tween the trees and drenching him at every yard.

As @ matter of fact, however, the streams are so shallow that little real danger exists.

These constructions are very pecullar. Taney are formed of several layers of trees placed one on the other, and planked over with rough deal so as to form adeck. 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- companied by their wives and families, wulle cows, fowls and pigs are also carried for the use of the crew; and we are assured that the domestic economy of an East Indlaman or an English man-ot-war could hardiy be more com- plete.
