Artistic Typography.

Types have an expressiveness of their
own and can be made 10 speak plainly
enough without putting them into formal
words if they are only setup in the rig int
shape. The following, copied from the
st. Louis Republican, will make this
very plain to every reader, nothing but
the ordinary symbols in common use be-
ing employed to tell the story of the
three worthless. 1t will be seen that it is
wholly unnecessary to say that the old
girl in the middle is in a condition of per-
plexity, doubt and general anxiety,
which is perfectly natural, considering
how hard it must be to make herself ac-
ceptable at one and the same time to the
very glum man on her right and the ex-

The Mekarski engine is about to be

with car or separately. This locomol va

and consists of cylindrical steel reservoirs
that are charged with air at pressure
of $50 pounds to the square inch before
starting, a special regulating apparatus,
ard ordinary cylinders and driving gear.
The air passes through areservoir of hot
water and steam to the regulator, and
thence to the cylinders. The heat thus =
impaired to the air increases its volume j,
and prevents the freezing of moisture in
the exhaust passages. When this engine
is working there is no noise, and there is,
the further and obvious advantage of an
absence of smoke. This type of motor
has been in successful operation in Z
Nantes for about two years. - ....

A Tale of Three Cities.
CHAPTER L.

Miriam Mcintyre stood idly beside a
tauteml in the parlor of her fathers
stately residence on Beacon Hill, Bos-
ton. She was tall, fair girl, with the
pale, rose,tinted complexion that one
sees so often in women of gentle birth
and proud lineage, and 1.-THE, willowy
figure, every feature of which was set
off to perfection by the simple morn
ing wrapper of soft gray cloth cut en-
PrinceSSe, with Pompadour waist and
double row of plating down the front,
the bottom of the skirt being relieved by
q narrow trimming of red, while at her
snowy throat nestled blush rose she
stood out beautiful picture against the
dark background of the room in which
the shadows of approaching night were
rapidly darkening. One could see by
the calm, joyful smile that now and then
fitted across her face-each fit being a
complete act in itself-that her thoughts
were of pleasant nature. In three
short weeks she would be a happy bride,
welded to man in whose love her
whole life was conferred. While thus en-
gagged in rosy meditation some one
knocked at the door.
"Come in" said Miriam.
A boy entered the room and handed
her a paper. She looked at it closely.
1t was published in Cleveland.
"Who could have sent i'll" she said to
herself. The boy had gone.
Opening the pages of the paper her
eyes were attracted by an article headed
"Matrimonial." She read, at first care
lessly, and then with ever-increasing in
terest, her eyes fixed upon the print with
a wild look. At length she gave a
shrek of horror and fell senseless on the
fa,tteaiI.
What she had been reading was an
account of the marriage of her betrothed.
He had basely deserted her.
The girls shrek brought her mother
to the room, and the unconscious form
was borne away to bed.
The next morning her hair had turned
white!

The Search for the Missing Jeanette.

A RECENT San Francisco telegram says:
The naval officers composing the jeanette
Relief Board have completed their work and
submitted their report to the Secretary of the
Navy. 1t is expected that the instructions by
the Navy Department TO Lieutenant Berry, of
the relief steamer Mary and Helen, will vary
little, If any, from the recommendation of
the report. After reviewing the course
which it was known the Jeanette intended
to pursue and the circum stances under
which she was last seen, the report recom-
mends that the Mary and Helen should leave
San Fl ancisco about June /, to arrive at H's-
aid Island the middle of August. She
should visit on the way Petropaulovsky for
arctic clothing. dog sleds and dog food;
thence to st. Michaels, 10 St. Lawrence
Bay, to East Cape, to Cape Serge Car
rim, to JOHNSON Bay, to Herald ISL
and; thence to the southeast coast Of
Wrangle's Land to seek for cairns or other no
tices from the Jeanette and examine the
coast of Siberia near the Theuktsch villages.
If necessary the steamer should winter at some
harbor on the southern or southeastern end of
Wrangle's Land, or on the Siberian coast as
near as possible to Wrangle's Land, so as to
make scdge Journeys to the east coast of
Wrange's Land. They should not remain IN
the Arctic more than one winter. The instruc-
tions should be given subject to the discretion
of the commander. The relief vessel Mary aud
Helen is described in the report as new and
strong, with a speed of eight kpots under
steam and fast under canvas. She Is the only
vessel that could be procured for the purpose,
was specially built for Arctic navigation, and
with some necessary strengthening, is the best
means in reach of the Government. The re-
port closes with an expression of belief that
the Jeanette should be considered safe until
news of her disasteP-is received"

Extraordinary Exhibition of Strength.

ONE of the most remarkable feats ever per
formed in this section was witnessed in the
high road leading out from this town in the
direction OF Shoe Heel, this morning A farm
er about seventy years of age, named Mere
dith Gaddy, drove into town in an oX.cart aft
or load of corn. He got ten bushels of this
grain, purchased few articles for his wife
and children, took few drinks of mountain
whisky, and started for his home, fifteen miles
Off. The OK, which was sorry one, diminu-
tive specimen of that useful animal, after get
ting about five miles from here gave out and
could not be forced to move a step further.
Nothing daunted, old man Gaddy unyoked the
OK, took him out, and putting the yoke on his
own neck drew the loaded cart the rest of the
way home which was about ten miles, up hill
and down hill. The determined old fellow
trudgcd along the highway with his burden,
1eered at by the children, and an object of
general interest to the passers-by. Upon
reaching home Gaddy carried his load up to
the front portico. He remarked to his VIC,
that If "that little OK hadn't been so darned
obstinate would have put him in the cart and
drawn him along home, too" Gaddy is the
father OF twenty-one children, of whom there
are two pairs of twins. Although seventy
years Of age, he is regarded as the most pow
erful man in this county.-BtHRberton IN c.
