so, If you gain nothing, you will lose
nothing. l have indorsed these certifi-
Gates with my own name. Take them
and this note to London, to Mr.. B.
He will tell you what further can be

but at least try-fortune may favor you,
and l am sure you deserve It,"
1t seemed indeed as if s. H-'s
good fortune had begun. Taking leave
of his friends he came over to London,
found Mr. B, and made such q
friend Of that gentleman that he under
took personally to look after the matter
which Mr.. T. had recommended to him.
The ex-agent, whose Endorsement was
needed, happened at the time to be in
Nice, and Mr.. B went thither with
H and secured the requisite sigma
lures. Then he accompanied him to
Bourdeaux. Alas for the best-laid
schemes of mice and men! The firm of
x. Animas Freres was bankrupt, and all
their assets and affairs in the hands of
the syndic. The elder brother of the
firm was dead and there was but little
hope Of getting anything out Of the sur
viving brother, who indeed did not bear
the best of names.
Mr.. B looked pensive, but told
Il not to despair. If he's an
honest man we won't get cent, of
course; but, as he seems to be slippery
fellow, there's p chance for it yet" He
called on the syndicate, consulted no.
tary or two in town, and then sent NJ.
Animas message to call upon him that
night at his hotel NJ Animas came, a
sallow little Gascon, with purple gills
and an uneasy eye. He denied every
thing, of course, and said that anyhow.
he was totally insolvent-couldn't pay
ten centimes in the hundred.
Exactly" said Mr.. B. Your
debts amount to 100000 francs. You
have given in assets to the amount of
3,5OO,0OO francs. You still have in your
possession the sum of 100000 francs,
property of the late Confederacy, Brown,
Gunter, and all that firm. This money
you have not returned to the syndic as
part of your assets, but are trying to hide
away. Now, NJ Animas, it is a question
of arithmetic between US. My young
friend here has legitimate checks for
S96, 900 francs, which he is entitled to,
and wants. You will pay him, or else
you will prepare tomorrow to pay the
syndic the 100000 you are conceal
ing, and stand trial for fraud besides"
NJ. Animas turned green, but he paid
the money, and that is how S--

AT our school there was boy by the
throwing stones, when he hit window
and broke a pane of glass No person
had seen him throw the stone. He might
have skunk away and kept his act Sc
cret If he had not been too noble boy
to do such meanness.
Mr.. Hardwick, who lived in the house
where the window was broken, was
lawyer, and seemed to be Of a stern,
harsh temper, for he used to scold the
boys If they but crossed his fields, or even
entered his woods. Robert did not like
to meet him.
But Robert had more fear of doing
wrong than of facing the anger of the
lawyer. So he went up to Mr.. Hardwick
and said: lin throwing stone just now
broke a pane of glass in one OF your
windows"
"Well, then, you must send glazier
and have it mended,' said Mr.. Hardwick.
in an angry tone.
THAT is just what wished to do"
said Robert, "and will do it at once"
Struck by this manly reply, Mr.. Hard
wick asked Robert if he had any money
to pay the glazier.
yes" said sRobert, II have half
crown that have been saving up"
"What have you been saving it up
for!" asked Mr.. Hardwick.
Il have been saving it up to buy my
n. L. sol
"Well. sir" said the lawyer, II look
to you to see that my window is
| mended"
Robert bowed and took his leave.
That same day he sent glazier and had
q new pane of glass set in place OF the
broken one. He felt that Mr.. Hardwick
had claimed of him no more than was
right, and he did not blame him. But,
| as Robert sat at his lesson that evening,
the door-bell rung, and package was
lett for him. He opened it, and what
do you think he found! In the package
was beautiful blue sunshade, and with
it q letter from Mr.. Hardwick in these
words: "Take this as a proof that was
pleased by your readiness in doing right
to-day"
! Robert ran and gave the sunshade to
his sister, and she was delighted with
the gift. His father, when he learned
what had happened, said to Robert, we
should always do right for the love OF
right, and not in the hope OF reward.
II am sure / did not hope for . re-
ward. +" said Robert. II should still have
been glad that paid for mending the
window, even if had got nothing IN re-
turn. For surely deserved nothing
ace that a man may seem stern, like Mr..
Hardwick, and yet be kind at heart

TERRIBLE FLOOD.

city, Pa. Destroyed-Over 800 Lives
Lost. ,o-.
The calamity which befell this section
last night was the most appalling with
which it has ever been visited, 80 far as
the loss of life is concerned. On Sunday
heavy rains fell during the morning, but
in the afternoon the skies cleared and
the rain was thought to be over.
Toward evening, however, premonitory
flashes of lightning were seen northeast,
southwest and northwest of the city and
ominous dark clouds overcast the sky.
About eight o'clock, the storm
broke accompanied by vivid and
continuous flashes Of lightning, followed
by terrific peals Of thunder. The rain
descended in torrents, and in such guam
titles that it seemed Is II the clouds had
suddenly met with some obstruction and
emptied their contents in an instant In
I few moments the streets were convert

grades N immense volume Of water

he had never in all his life thought OF

and, as luck would have it, stumbled

Thomas Came up in fear and tremb-

Cardinals presence before. He looked
at the charcoal drawings on the wall,
then into the prelate's face, and his heart
sank within him.

nowhere to go, and Peter will starve-
and he wants to be a painter SO much"
WHO is Peter?" asked the Cardinal.
"He is boy from Cortons who boards
with me, and he drew those pictures ON
the wall. and he will die if he cannot be
painter"
"Where is he now" demanded the
Cardinal.
"He is out wandering about the
streets to find something to draw He
goes out every day and comes back at
night"

"Such genius as that should not be al

But, strange to say, that night Peter
did not come back to his boarding house

nothing was heard Of him. At the end

Raphacls pictures which was exhibited
there. He had asked permission of the
monks to copy it, and they, charmed
with his youth and great talent, had
readily consented, and had lodged and
nourished him all the time
Thanks to the interest the Cardinal took
in him, Peter was admitted to the best
school for painting in Florence. AS for
Thomas, he was given post near the
Cardinals person, and had masters to in

day.
Fifty years later two old men lived
together in one of the most beautiful
houses in Florence. One of them was
called Peter of Cortona, and people said
of him, " He is the greatest painter of

SINCE the beginning Of this century
a complete metamorphosis, though but
few persons appear to recognize this
fact. Less than a century ago the sdcants
who admitted the earth's motion (some
still rejected it) pictured to themselves
the system Of the universe as being
bounded by the frontier of Saturn's or
bit, at distance from the central sun
equal to 100000 times the diameter OF
the earth, or about 860,O00,OO0 miles.
The stars were fired, specifically distrib-
uted, at distance but little greater
than that of Saturn. Beyond this limit
a vacant space was supposed to surround
the universe. The discovery Of Uranus,
in 17S5, did away at once with this belt,
consisting Of Saturn's orbit, and the
frontier of solar domination was pushed
out to distance Of 1900, 100000 miles
from the center Of the system, that is to
say, beyond the space which was vaguely
supposed to be occupied by the stars.
The discovery Of Neptune, in 1S46, again
removed these limits to q distance that
would have appalled, our fathers, the
orbit described by this planet being
2,862, ,OOO, 900 miles from the sun.
But the attractive force of the sun ex-
tends farther still. Beyond the orbit Of
Uranus, beyond the dark route slowly
traversed by Neptune, the frigid wastes
Of space are travelled over by the comets
in their erratic courses. OF these some,
being controlled by the sun, do not leap
from system to system, but move IN
closed curves, though at distances far
greater than those Of Uranus and Nep-
tune. Thus Halley's comet recedes to q
distance of over 8, ,200, ,00O, 900 miles from
the sun; the comet Of 1911, 36,OOO,OOO,
600, and that Of 1880, "a, 1000, ,O0O, 600. The
period of the last-named comet is $500

How Tea-Chest Linings Are Made.

EVERY ONE is familiar with the ap-
pearance of tea-chests, but not many peo-
pie have any idea how their leaden lining
is made, and therefore this account OF
the process, taken from Mr.. Lockhart's
+" Twenty Years Experience in China,"
is given:
"The plumber has furnace on the
floor, with an iron pot on the fire with
melted lead, and a small iron or brass
ladle. He also has two flooring tiles
rather more than foot square, which
are covered with paper, pasted smooth
and firm over one surface. One OF these
tiles is placed on the floor, but raised
about three or four inches, with the
papered surface upward. The other
tile is laid upon this with its papered sur
face down. The man gets on the tiles
and, sitting on his heels, takes ladleful
of lead; putting the toes of one foot to
the ground, he dexterously lifts with his
left hand the front edge of the upper tile
and pours the lead with sweep between
them. Then raising his foot from the
ground the upper tile yields freely to his
weight, and the melted lead is pressed
between the papered surfaces, the sur
plus escaping at the edges. He immedi-
ately raises the tile, removes the sheet OF
lead and proceeds to make another. His
fellow-workmen examine the sheets as
they are thrown off; if, as happens at
times, they are irregular, they are re-
turned to the mclting-pot. If they find
them in good order, they rapidly cut them
square by the aid Of a rule and solder the
small sheets together to serve as large
ones. Paper is then pasted down on
them, and they are ready to be used as
lining for the chests. Sometimes the
thin leaden chest is covered with paper af-
ter being made up; at other times the sepa-
rate sheets are covered, and any imper-
fections attended to afterxard. The
paper being inside, the lead chest does
not affect the tea. which it would do
were the lead and the tea placed in con-
tact"

ron TURNER.

A FISHERMAN was Tom by trade;
He slept on briny planks;
And, though not rich, he often made
A run upon the banks.
On hsh he lived from day to day
Fish caught by his own hand;
And when he did not land his prey
He did not praise the land.
When he had seen a shoal of shad,
Their struggles were in vain;
The fish might hop around like mad,
And soon they were in-seine.
He led happy life; content,
He never thought to roam;
And every day he fishing went,
And brought his net gains home.
Tom loved girl 90 tall and slim,
The fairest in the town:
But Sal would not take up with him,
So he was taken down.
BY passions power now racked and worn,
He called on Sal, swain forlorn,
Led on by Loves suggestion.
He found that she was popping corn,
And SO he popped the question.
She was the sweetest girl in town,
And playful as kitten;
For her Tom threw the gauntlet down
And she gave him the mitten.
Then Tom was mad! He kicked a lad!
His heart was sad. His head was bad!
His language was still badderl
And he who once had lived on shad
Soon faded to shadder.
To be a man he-swore.to try;
He left that town of woe;
He went out West to do or die;
He met an Indian six feet high
OF course it was not Lo!
The Indian saw the Yankee small;
The Yankee saw the Sioux;
At once they knew that one must fall,
At once they both fell to.
The Indian struck mighty blow;
BY Toms good luck 1t missed the foe;
The Indian was forlorI..
Tom tried the Indian to lay low;
Tom dropped rock upon his toe,
And crushed his Indian corn.
The Indian paused; this blow 80 rude
Had caused him great solicitude;
He thought he would no more intrude;
lie thought he'd fly, if none pursued;
The white man next he slyly viewed,
And then began to beller.
Tom deemed all Indians copper-hued,
But this one proved a yeller.
Tom seized log to make a thrust
To lay the Indian in the dust
The Indian ran away
SO swift he cut his stick he must
Have been q Chip-away.
And thus was fought and won the fight,
In which Tom took great pride;
Then home he went to Sally bright,
And won her for his bride.
