in me. Her large black eyes, which were
wont to look so bright, now had Il far away
look; some one thing seemed absorbing all
her mind. There was no evidence of
physical disability. She had not noticed
me, for | stood under the shade trees by
the sidewalk, and az | stepped from under
their concealing branches ] resolved to
know the cause of her sorrOw fastening
to her home | arrived there Just as she
stepped from tho carriage TO the door, We
met. Trembling with excitement, she wei
coined me, and invited me to Il scat in The
parlOr. Drawing chair to her side, in
qurcd the cause OF such change in her
facc--why SO sad and dcspondcnt. With
considerable hesitation she finally said:

"IIarry, l thought ! loved you, but

As asked this question looked into
her face with atraning eyes, US if to read
her inmost thoughts. knew and felt she
could not, did not feel what she was
saying.

"Your rlnthcr2 Spcni then, Alice, and
let me know ALL" l said calmly and with
dclibcratitll.
'N1othcr says she hates you and will not
permit you again to sec me. Why, do
not know. She will not explain. Some
one, no doubt, who is an enemy to you,
has told her bitter falschootls concerning
yourself"
'And do you believe thcm2" l said,
trembling with excitement and indignation.
"Bclicve them, Harry2" she replied. AS
she spoke her manner was sufficient to con-
vince nc she did not. "Dclicvc them,
Harry2 No; and no most cmphatically
and if you say the word, l will be yours

Kind reader, what would you have done
under the circumstances Here was n
young and beautiful girl, whom had loved
most passionatcly, willing to leave homo
and all to be my wfc-rcared in luxury
and refinement, to go to Il home, Heaven
only knows where, for I was poor; but,
thank God no one could point the finger
OF scorn at any period in my life when q
single deviation from the right course had
been made. She, as l have said was will
ing to be partner Of my joys and sorrows.
On the other hand, proud and fastidious
mother, who was anxious that her daughter
should occupy higher position in life than
the one which could command. She was
eager to have her daughter sacrifice all the
fine and noble instincts of womanly love
to crafty vain and ambitious fancy,
took her hand in mine, and with tho words
scarcely audible to myself, told her how 1
had loved her, but to tho honor of her
parents she owed them a duty, and that
was to obey. Passing to the doorway L
was fastening away. Throwing herself in
my arms, and with tears streaming down
her face, she bcsought mo not to leave her.
With m effort gained the street. And to
this day question which have asked
myself thousand times remains unan-
swcred. 1t is: "Who was right 2"

Putting Plants to Sleep,

The idea of subjcctlng this remarkable
plant to the action of auUsthctiCs was nat
ural, and several experiments Of the kind
are recorded, the plants having been put in
vapOrs of ether or chlorOform. Recently
NJ. Arloing has made some interesting OBJ
scrVatiOns of the effects of Choral, choro-
form and ether presented for absorption by
the roots. The pots were sprnklcd with
aqueous solutions Of these substances, then
covered with care to prevent escape of tho
vapors. After absorption of chloroform or
ether, one notes primary and secondary cf-
fccts; the former are phenomena of excl
tation, similar to those arising from me-
chancal irritation, and comparable to those
in animals when anmsthctizcd. They occur
successfully from tho bottom to tho top Of
the stem. In thirty to sixty minutes the
common peticlcs Cor leaf stcms) straightcn
and the leaflets separate, beginning from
the top OF the stem; but the plant is now
found to have lost its scnsibility. The Sec
ondary effects consist of elimination of tho
anGsthetic.. The scnsibilty often does not
return for one and a half OF two hours.
Chloral docs not act an9sthcticnlly en- tho
sensitive plant. These observations af-
fordcd NJ. Arloing an opportunity Of asccr-
tanning the velocity of liquids in the stem
and branches of plants under strictly physi-
illogical conditions, whereas past expert
mcnts Oh the subject have been made with
withercd Or mutilatcd plants. If the leaves
are in good state, tho common petioles
bend down suddenly and succcssivcly from
below upward in the plant as tic absorbed
chloroform reaches them. Hence, know
ing the dimensions of the the plant, the ve-
locity of the chloroformiZcd water in the
stem and primary pctioles canb easily cal
culatcd. Within the stem, tho velocity is
modified by the state of the tissues and foli-
age, tho temperature, etc. it was found in
different cases, at the rate Of 600 metres,
22m., 2.40m., atom. per hour. The We
locity increases from the base to tho top of
the stem in the ratio of to 1.25 or | 80,
and 1t Is II times to twice as great in tho
pctiolcs as in the stem. Tho time of ab-
sorption by tho roots was found to vary
from to o. minutes

a Central African Storm.

We continued sailing for half an hour,
and as 1t was then near sunset, dropped an
chor in scvcnty-fivc feet Of water. The
wind, which had swept in strong gusts
from the northwest, suddenly fell, for in
the northwest the aspect of the sky had
long been threatening. Clouds surgcd in
thick masses from that direction and cast
gloom over the woodclothed slopes and
crcsts of Usuguru, which became almost us
black as velvet pail, while the lake grew
as quiet as though vitrificd into glass.
Soon the piled up cloud mass grew Jagged,
and portontous zig gag line Of deep sable
hue ran through its centre, from which the
storm seemed to issue. l :aqucstcd the
crew to come further aft, and fastening a
double rope to the stone anchor, prepared
every mug and balcr for the rain with which
we were threatened, The wind then fell,
as though from above, upon or bowed
heads with an overpowcring force, striving
against the resistance which it met, as if it
would bear us down to the bottom of the
water, it brushed into million of tiny
ripplcs. The temperature fell 10 90 deg.
Fahrenheit, and with this sudden cold
down dropped severe shower of hailstoncs
Of great size: which pcltcd us with great
force and made our teeth chatter After
this the rain fell in sheets, while the light
ming blazcd, proceeding the most dreadful
thundcr-claps I remember to have ever
heard. The rain, indeed. tell in such
quantities that it required two men for each
section to keep the boat sufficiently buoy
ant to ride the crest of the waves. The
crew cried out that the boat was sinking
that, if the rain continued In such volume,
nothing could save us. In reply, l only
| urged them to bale her out faster. The
sable mass of Usnglru- as observed by
tho bars of intense light which the light
ming flashed almost every sccond-was
still in front, and | knew, therefore, that
we were not being swept very fur to sen.
Our energies were wholly devoted to keep
ing our poor pcttcd selves aflont, and this
occupied tho crew so much that they half
forgot the horrors of tho black and dismal
night. For two hours this experience last.
od, and thcn, unburlening our breasts with
sghs of glatincss not unmxcd with graft
tudc, we took ;,ilr anchor on board and
stole through the darkness to the western
side of NgcVi Island, where, at kindly
fire, we dried our clothes and our wcttcd
bodies, and, over hot potful of Le!big,
affected to laugh at Our late critical position.

Wives of tho Presidents.

James Parton tell lis that Martha Wash
ington was plump, pretty, sprightly little
woman In her youth, but settled down into
a plain, domestic wife, who looked sharply
after the servants She was far from an
educated woman, and though she kept her
own accounts, was very poor spcller.
Parton quotes Mrs. Bremen, the authorcss
who relates "curtain lecture" of the great
man by Martha, which she overheard in the
sleeping Martha was angry, and
scolded long time. Tho General listened
in silence till she was done, and then mild
ly closed the scene with "Now, good sleep
to you, my dear" General Washington
was very rich, Mrs. Washington was very
rich, and her three children by her first
husband were heirs to great wealth. Wash
ington's mother was a plain, illitcratc, en-
ergctic, strong-willed lady, who preferred
her own broad acres, and declined TO 90
and live with her great son. 81 thank YOU,

saying: II could not pay you SO poor a
compliment, Marquis, as to stop to change

ington, married widow, Mrs. Maria Skel-
ton, who had considerable property but
that did not save her great husband, who
died deeply in debt, owing to his siavish
devotion to his country. She was a lady of
extraordinary beauty Of face and form, and
singularly competedt to adorn and conduct
a great household. A little above the me-
dion height, fair complexion, eyes large,
dark and expressive, auburn hair, and q

Age OF GIuss,

The oldest specimen of pure glass bear
ing anything like date is little nodded
lions head, bearing the name Of an Egyp-
tian king Of eleventh dynasty, in the Slade
collection at the British Museum. That Is
to say, at a period which may be moder-
atcly placed at more than 1900 yeas B. c.,
glass was not only made, but made with
skill which shows that the art was nothing
new. The invention Of glazing pottery
with film or varnish' of glass Is 30 old that
among tho fragments which bear inscrip-
tions Of the early Egyptian monarchy arc
beads possibly of the first dynasty. OF la
ter glass there arc numerous examples,
such as bead found at TheDes, which has
tho name Of Queon Hatasoo or Hashep, Of
the eighteenth dynasty. OF the Same per
iod arc vases and goblcts and many frag-
mcnts. 1t cannot be doubted that the story
prepared by Pliny, which assigns the credit
Of the invention to the Ph0nicians, Is 30
far truo that these adventurous merchants
brought specimens to other countries from
Egypt. DR.. Schliemann found disks OF
glass In the excavations at Myccn@, though
Homer does not mention It as substance
