Miss ChasGble looked at MIR. Lean
ing. Mr.. Leaning looked at the girls
sewing about him, and strange silence
fell upon them all.
Il am very sorry, am sure" Miss
Chasuble said deprecatingly; "but it
wasn't my fault"
..It was all my fault" said Mr.. Leam-
ing, with troubled look upon his face.
'Poor little Hattie-poor little fright
ened girlr'
And then, when Pete had numbered
off down stairs to the furnace-room
again, and Miss Chasuble had taken
herself and her silken draperies into her
carriage at the door, Mr.. Leaning put
on his hat and overcoat and left the
building.
ssHattie, my poor little Hattie!'
There she still crouched upon the
door, by the almost freless stove, the
lovely brown hair disheveled so as to
completely veil her head and face, and
her forehead buried in her hands.
At the sound of Mr.. Leaming's voice,
she started nervously.
.sOh, sir, I didn't steal it, indeed /
didn't steal it!" she cried, a shudder
convulsing her slender frame. "Indeed,
Mr.. Leaning, do not know haven't
the least idea how the ruby came among

'But know!" said Mr.. Leaning.
And as he told her the whole story, he
| watched her with look in his eyes she
had never seen there before, while for
| very joy the color came iuttering back
into her tell-tale cheeks, and light in
to her wide eyes.
"And l may come back to work

''You may do as you please about

Three Acres of Eggs.

A Santa Barbara fisherman has dis
covered, near San Miguel Island, q
smaller island, about three acres in ex-
tent, which is probably the largest nest
of eggs in the world. The island is cov-
cred with layer of gusno in which sea
fowls of all descriptions were found
laying or incubating their eggs. The
surface appeared to i've almost entirely
covered with eggs, principally those Of
the sea gulls, shags, and a small bird
known as the saltwater duck. The dis
coverers said it was difficult to walk
without treading upon the eggs, and
that it would be easy to load ship with
them. Francisco AHa.

A good story is told of groceryman

faith he has in his wife regarding house

had worked in the family for number
OF years. One day she was sent to the
store to get some groceries. She went
to the store Of her employer and gave
tie order. The package was done up,
when she said: You can put these

The Editors Visitor.

He entered the country editors den
with the air of a man of leisure, and de
sired to see the proprietor. That indiv.
idual looked up from the leader upon
which he was engaged and remarked
that he was very busy, but could talk
for few minutes
"Well," began the visitor rather dry
ly, 81 just thought I'd drop in on busi-
ness. You may not be aware of the
fact that have for sale the very best
braces to be found anywhere. They
have shoulder-pieces attached, and are
pronounced perfect by eminent profess
sors of physical culture. They are called
the Arizona and don't shed THEN
color in the hottest weather"
81 am really very busy" responded
the editor testify, sand don't"
"And then," broke in the man, Ihave
fine assortment of neckwear and cuffs.
1t would do you good to see them. My
cuffs are all made on an improved pat
tern, originated by myself, and they are
cheap, too; only threepence a pair"
Il can't" remarked the editor,
in an ecstasy of despair, when the man
OF business again interrupted him by re-
marking:
"And you should just lay your eyes
on my toilet soaps, in all their pristine
sumptuousness. 1 have bear grease
soap, and turtle oil, and also a beauti-
fer made of the tissues of nightingales.
The latter is great favorite with the
ladies. On each cake is inscribed the
following:
This makes the maidens skin grow white,
And fills her bosom chaste with hope;
When used at morning and at night
There is nothing like Jones Bulbul Soap.
Twill happy every damsel make
For only eighteen pence per cake.
Then l have shaving-soap of a high
order. Have you ever heard of my
snap dragon shaving-soapp"
The editor, entirely out of patience,
yelled at the top of his voice:
81 don't want any brushes, hair
grease, braces, cuffs, Huxley on the cray
fish, razors, fish-hooks, pins, Shelleys's 8
poems. velocipedes, pruning-shears, or
anything else. 1 am busy, and have
no time to throw away on canvassers!"
81 am no canvasser," responded the
other, turning red in the face.
"You are not?"
mo, l am not"
"Then," continued the editor, with a
dumbfounded air, ''why do you come in
here eulogising your waresp"
ITO give you an idea, and get your
views on advertising"
"Do you wantto advertiser" inquired
the editor. his eyes glistening like dew
glints in the morning sun.
81 do sir"
Then the editor took his order, told
him he had lots of time, showed him
through the press-room, took him out
to luncheon, and invited him to call at
his house and be introduced to the FAM
lily; after which they parted as senti-
mentally as an engaged couple when

What is a Meter2

l shall at once explain what Imean by
the term ''meter," and shall take the
flow of water in trough as an Illus
tration of my meaning. If we hang in
trough weighted board, then, when
the water flows past it, the board will be
pushed back long way; when the water
runs the other way, the board will be
pushed the other way. So, by observ-
ing the position of the board, we can
tell how strong the current ofwater is
at any time. Now, suppose we wish to
know, not how strong the current Of
water is at this time or at that, but how
much water altogether has passe!
through the trough during any time, as,
for instance, one hour. Then, if we
have no better instrument than the
weighted board, it will be necessary to
observe its position continuously, to
keep al exact record of the correspond
ing rates at which the water is passing
every minute, or better every second,
and to add up all the values obtained.
This would, of course, be very trou-
blesome process. There is another kind
of instrument which may be used to
measure the flow of the water: a pad
dle-wheel or screw. When the water
is flowing rapidly, the wheel will turn
rapidly; when slowly, the wheel will
turn slowly; and, when the water flows
the other way, the wheel will turn the
other way, so that, if we observe how
fast the wheel is turning, we can tell how
fast the water is flowing. If, now, we
wish to know how much water altogeth-
er has passed through the trough, the
number of turns of the wheel, which
may be shown by counter, will at once
tell US. There are, therefore, in the
case Of water, two kinds of instruments,
one which measures at time, and the
other during time. The term meter
should be confined to instruments of
the second class only.-From "Meters
for PoOer and Electricity" By c. Yer
non Boys, in Popular Science Monthly

EDGAR A, Poe,

"What do you want to know about
Eddie Poe?" Mrs. Cromwell said; ''he's
been dead so long thought he was for
gotten. Well, it's mighty curious. You
folks think more of him now than you
did when he was alive.
"You knew him?" the reporter ask
ed.
KNEW Eddie Poe? Why, was the
first neighbor his folks got acquainted
with when they moved out here thirty
seven years ago. MIR. Poe found me
himself in the cherry tree and he took
me right over to see his wife, poor
woman, and his mother-in-law. / used
to go there very oftenP"
''Did you know much of the fam
ily?"
II knew they were mighty poor
poorer than / ever was or ever expect
to be. They lived hard over there, and
didn't have much that was nice. Mr..
Poe was good man-when he wasn't
drinking. He seemed very fond of that
poor, sick wife of his. Mrs. Clemm
used to watch him mighty close, and
I've known her to 90 to New York twice
a day to tend his business just to keep
him from going. She knew he would
get in bad company and go to drinking
again. Why, I've seen him when three
men couldn't hold him in the bed. But
there wasn't a better man in the world
when he was sober. He was very fond
of flowers and used to tramp all over
the woods to find 'em. He loved birds,
too, and had lots of 'em singing in his
yard. He was the greatest walker l
ever saw, and used to 60 to White
Plains-sixteen miles-and back in
day, many's the night he has wandered
over these hills without coat or
hat"
when his wife died Mr. Poe took it
mighty hard. She was buried in the
old Dutch Cemetery, but they afterward
moved her to Baltimore, about five years
ago. He used to cry over her grave
every day and kept it green with flow-
ers."
"You have some relics, believe?'
'This is the chair he used to sit in"
said the old lady, rising slowly. '1t's
except that iron strap on the arm.
Somebody broke it and had itmended.
Here is his own Bible, and his clock
Is upstairs. If you want to see it,
1t is an eight day clock, running yet,
rs it has for thirty-six years. The chair
has been in constant use, but has the
same cane in back and seat it had when
the poet sat in it."
II bought the chair and clock" con-
tinued Mrs. Cromwell, ''but Mrs. Clemm
gave me the Bible, and I'll never part
with it. 1 might sell the other things,
but if you all are going to think so much
of Mr.. Poe, l guess I'll have to think
something of him, too"
In the old Bible one passage was
found marked-Job, vii, 15-'I loathe
it; would not live always; let me alone,
for my days are vanity
"Where did you get those fowers?"
Mrs. Cromwell asked. "Over at the
cottage, Ireckon. You all are just alike
and 60 crazy about nothing. l wonder
how many more will want to hear about
Eddie ?"-Neao York Herald.
