A MllliOnaire's Choice.

Norwich Conn., Dispatch in Philadelphia Times |
Captain George W. Rogers, of this city,
died fifteen years ago. He had been Cap
tain on Southern line of steamers, and he
left his widow, son and daughter in mod
crate circumstances. They managed BY
strict economy to live comfortably. When
the daughter, Georgette, grew to woman
hood she decided to support herself She
became professional nurse in Providence
hospital, and subsequently went to a hospital
in Hartford. While there she was engaged
by Christopher M. Spencer, the millionaire
inventor and manufacturer Of the Spencer
rifle, to attend to his wife, who was dying of
consumption. Miss Rogers was the attend
ant of Mrs. Spencer until that lady's death,
last September The patient care and gentle
disposition shown by the young nurse at the
sick-bed won the regard of Mr.. Spencer, and
he recently asked her to be his wife. Their
marriage was celebrated in the Central Bap-
tist Church of this city in the presence of
large assembly. The bride is 25 and beauti-
full The groom is about so. They will sail
for Europe this week

Eye Service.
fGraciOus Words I


Upon going into down town office l saw
two boys at work addressing envelopes-or
rather, one was at work, while the other
with his pen in his hand, was looking out Of
the window.
The employer was sitting near by, and
when he caught my eye he smiled.
(which of those two boys is the better
workman and the most valued, do you
think ?" he asked me in low voice.
"The one at work, should suppose" re-
joined.
mo, SIR that lad who is looking from the
window now does so because he thinks there
is no harm in it-does it, you see, under my
eyes. On the other hand, while my eye is
on them the other boy is the most indus
trious, but l find in my absence he does
nothing So you see he adds deceit to his
fault. l would not trust him out of my
sight"
1T seems to me that neither of them is
worth very much"
"To be sure," came the immediate answer,
"a boy who attended to his duties at all
times would be best but boy who renders
eye service merely who cannot be trusted to
work without watching, is not to be toler-
ated'
The man who had seen this had seen
much of the world he knew whereof he
spoke, and perhaps some of our young read
ers will profit by his words

Sending Kisses by Telegraph.
Philadelphia Times.

There are some ways in which kissing can
be done to make it very pleasing. There
are other ways in which it is merely COM
monplace, and still other ways in which it is
absolutely and horribly dry. Few people
really know how to kiss. Those who do,
however, are not ordinary human Delngs,
and they unquestionably have right to be
proud of their accomplishments and the re-
wards which they bring are deserved.
1t is greatly to be feared that the young
King and Queen of Spain have never really
learned the art of kissing. If they had they
never would have relapsed into the dry
method of transmitting kisses by telegraph
WIRE That is not the kind of electricity by
which kisses should be transmitted. It
would never be resorted to by those who
had once known what the real article of kiss
is like All the way on her journey from
Madrid to Vienna wherever there was tele-
graph station the young Queen left kiss to
be sent the King, and he often replied with
telegraphic kisses This is too cheap and
dry for anything.
The American girl who swings on the
front gate these pleasant summer nights will
smile sarcastically at such stupid affairs as
kisses by wire. She knows of kisses worth
millions of that royal kind. She wouldn't
care even for the kisses Of king if they had
to come by telegraph, and the American girl
in her highest development is an admirable
judge of kisses. She is not to be imposed
upon by inferior kisses. 1t is the popular
thing to initiate the ways of royalty, bat in
this instance the boys and girls of this coun-
try will have to be excused. kissing by
telegraph cannot be popularized even by
kings and queens.

Helena Montana, Thursday, July 26 1888.
Mr.. PLATT'S LONG SLEEP.
singular Case of Lethargy Which In.
terests the Nutmeg State.

NEWTON, Ct, July fisherman W. PIatt
aged 50, has always resided with his father
Veneer Platt, a well-to-do farmer, living fou,
miles from NewtOwn Centre. During the
spring OF 1882 he was attacked with malaria
with the arrival of summer he worked on the
farm. One day, during the haying period he
was as active as any. One day he lay down
on the hay under tree to rest, hoping to
feel better after a. short map It proved to be
long one, however, and on being removed
to the house he acted and talked strangely.
From that time he kept himself aloof,
renamed most of theftime within doors, and
a few days before Christmas sank into deep
sleep IN his bed, continuing there until the
latter part OF January, scarcely changing
his position or recognizing persons in attend
ance and not once rousing from his stupor.
Toward spring there was slight change in
the sleeper, which was manifested by an in
cllnation to move, but he did not open his
eyes, and during the three months since his
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES set in he has eaten
scarcely enough to sustain life and has never
once spoken.
He was at first bolstered, up in bed, still
with his eyes closed and mouth sealed
against speech. Later he was assisted to a
sitting position and in April his clothes were
put on him with difficulty, as he was like
one with no life-no muscular power He
began to walk tremblingly fat first holding
on by articles Of furniture, and afterwards
he could stand and walk alone. AS the DAYS
came and went he walked from his bed to
the chair and back again to bed. A while
ago he scented the way to the household
pantry, and he has since at nearly regular
intervals oscillated between the chair and
cupboard shelves. On rising in the morn
ing, after sleeping soundly at night, he is
regularly dressed, like baby, and led to
his chair, where he Immediately sinks to
sleep. When hunger prompts he rises, pro-
ceeds to the pantry, eats, returns to the
chair, sleeps, and when night comes is un-
dressed and goes to bed again. The period
Of his leathargy at this writing covers 1913

How Boys Marbles Are Made.

Almost all the marbles" with which boys
everywhere amuse themselves in season and
out OF season. on pavement and in shady
spots, are made at Oberstein, Germany.
There are large agate quarries and mills in
that neighborhood, and the refuse is turned
to good account in providing the small
stone-balls for experts to "knuckle" with.
The stone is broken into small cubes by
blows of a light hammer. These small
blocks of stone are thrown by the shoverfnl
into the hopper of small mill, formed of a
bedstone, having its surface grooved with
concentrated burrows; above this is the
runner" which is OF some hard wood hay-i
ing level face on its lower surface. The
upper block is made to revolve rapidly,
water being delivered upon the grooves of
the bedstone where the marbles are being
rounded. 1t takes about fifteen minutes to
finish bushel of good marbles, ready for
the boys knuckles. One mill will turn out
1859, 900 marbles per week. The very hard
est crackers" as the boys call them, are
made by slower process, somewhat analo-
gous, however, to the other.

Across the Atlantic in Five DAYS.
Philadelphia Ledger. !


That fast line of steamers to Europe to
make the trip in about five days is some
thing more than talked about Mr.. Corbin
states that three steamships have been Or
dered for the new line, and that the ter
minal harbors have been fixed upon and are
being prepared. The intention is to run the
steamers between the nearest practicable
points of land, and to carry passengers from
the landing places-to New York in one case
and to London in the other-by railroad
cars. The landing place on thisside is to be
at Fort Pond Bay, Long Island, and in Eng
land at Milford Haven. The vessels are to
be specially constructed for the carriage of
passengers, and are expected to cross "the
ferry" in five days. Only q few hours more
will be required for the land journey, and
this can be made with much more certainty,
in all kinds Of weather, day or night, than
the trip up the bay by steamer. The saving
of time to passengers is estimated at fully
two days.
