Presently she sank into deep sleep.
Other watchers joined those two, and
just as night began to fall she passed
away.
With a sigh, Hamilton went to
Muriel's side.
DEAREST" he said, 'syou told me
once that when l could bring you the
proofs of my wife's death l might
speak to you again. She lies there
dead. What do you say?"
Muriel rose and laid her hand in his
with look of unspeakable love. Thus,
in that chamber of death, these two,
so long parted, were united at last.
Richard Hamilton and Muriel Mervyn
were married and lived very happily
together. They have theatre of their
own, and are doing very well in every
sense of the term.
"By-the-by, DEAR" said Hamilton,
one day, not long after their marriage,
''do you know you once told me that
you did not love mep"
"That was the only falsehood I will
ever tell you," she rejoined. 81 said so
to prevent you thinking too much of
me-"
Sand all the time you liked me?"
"You know l did,"
$50, then, Muriel, suppose 1 must
take this as another instance of the
worthlessness of "A Woman's No."

A Bullet in His Brain,
New Orleans Times Democrat.


An article in last Sundays Times
Democrat gives an account of an I'M
usual surgical operation performed in
Bellevue hospital, New York, upon a
young German named Knorr, who shot
himself on Jan. "a. The bullet enter
ed the forehead, and, passing through
the brain, lodged in the back of the
head. A hole was cut in the back of
the skull, and the bullet was taken out
in that way. A perforated rubber tube
was passed through to drain the brain of
all extraneous matter. On Thursday
last the rubber tube was withdrawn,
and two strands of catgut were passed
through the hole, and the operation was
finished. As the brain closes together
the catgut will be gradually absorbed,
and the holes in the skull will be closed
by fibrous tissue. During the with
drawal of the tube Knorr was perfectly
conscious, laughing and talking with
the medical attendants, and evidently
much interested in the opening ND of a
tunnel In his head. He says he doesn't
want to die now; he is too curious as to
the result of the operation. He has be-
come quite a hero in the eyes of the
young woman on whose account he at
tempted suicide, and she visits him at
the hospital every day. The attendant
physicians say there is no doubt that
Knorr will recover, and that he will
suffer no evil effects from it other than
a slight mental trouble, which will
manifest itself in occasional eccentric
freaks. DR.. William F. Fluhrer, who
performed the operation, will explain
it before the New York Surgical So
ciety.

"Would I Were a Boy Aagaln. "
NOrristOwn Herald.

NOrr1StOWn Herald.
Old Mr.. Wardles was watching the
boys coasting on one of the streets, and
as the cutters were tearing down at the
rate of thirty miles an hour, his mem
DRY travelled back forty years, and he
impulsively remarked to a young man
that he would ssgive $4,000 if he were
a boy again" A Juvenile with a red
sled and red nose heard the remark,
and asked Mr.. Wardles if he didn't
want to ride down. Wardles said he
believed we would try one trip. He
weighs 200 pounds, and when he got on
the clipper its joints creaked ominously
and his eyes sparkled with fun. The
boys gave him a good send-off, and
pretty soon the sled veered sideways,
there was a crash, and Wardles went
end over end for about twenty yards,
and then a double clipper containing
six boys struck him amidships and
turned him over some more in most
ridiculous and painful manner, and just
as he regained his feet another jumper
dashed into his legs, and he sat down
on his head so emphatically that the
top of his bootlcgs protruded above the
margin of his shirt collar. He re-
turned home with broken rib, a
sprained ankle, his coat split from Dan
to Beersheba, a handful of bark peeled
off his head, and all the fun banished
from his eyes. He will be nearly as
good as new in ABBOTT six weeks, but he
says he had rather be 1900 years old
than to be boy again.

The Rose-Colored Sunsets.

Mansilps Planetary Signal.
The rose-colored sunsets and sunrises
that have occurred during the last few
months have been caused by the rela-
tive positions of our earth to that of the
other planets. The effect produced in
the earth's atmosphere has been just
the same as that produced on the
moons atmosphere at times of the
eclipse of the sun, or when the moon
comes between the sun and earth-the
moons atmosphere is made to shoot
out, or rather the absorption of the
electricity by the moons volatile at
mosphere from the sun and earth's col
umn of electricity when in this llneal
position between them, causes the
moons atmosphere to dart or radiate
out from the edge of the moon. The
moons volatile elements not being
able to withstand the flood of electrici-
ty thai undulates between the sun and
earth, through which the moon passes
at times of eclipse, this column or shaft
of electricity causes the moon to eXer-
else these darling and fantastic forms,
from the side or edge-these protuber-
ances or such as the halo of corona,
and other shapes-these appear in col
ors varying from white, purple, GRIM
son or red. This is the kind of posi-
ton that the earth has been in during
the past months, or near to lineal or
transit lines with the other planets and
moon-and on the occasion of the
earth's nearest positions to these par
tial lineal lines there has occurred the
maximum displays of these sets of sun
set and runrise glows. Those the most
prominent are those that commenced
about the 25th and reached their finest
brilliancy on the 2Sth of November,
and fading somewhatby the 30th of the
month-these commenced and develop
ed until the earth passed near in line of
opposition with Saturn on the maximum
day of the glow, the 2Sth. The slow
ness of the earth through these near
transits gives more time for these fam
tastic displays than the moon does-the
earth moves over about thirteen degrees
of space day, and the earth over about
one degree in the same time.

A HIGH HYMENEAL HYMN.

The soft marriage bells have announced the
glad fact
That the bright golden tie has been tied.
And the lovers have entered solemn COM
pact
In the same boat in future to ride.
The CLEAN of loves sunshine in brilliancy
falls,
And iIIumines each fond, loving heart,
And together they'll feed off the same cod
fish balls
Until death or divorce do them part.
The solemn words of the minister fell
With a chill on each listening ear,
AS il sounding in dear i1tonations the knell
OF their freedom, which lay on the bier
OF marital life; and feeling of awe
Seemed to sink like pail o'er the scene,
And even the crack of the minister's jaw
Was as dry as the hide Of bean.
The wild glad notes of the organpealed,
And flooded the church with sound,
AS the happy pair came forward and
kneeled
And the bridesmaids circled around.
Then the preacher said what he had to say,
The ring on her finger slid
And joined their hands in the usual way,
And the heavenly deed was did.
May posies of the brightest hue
Their pathways ever cheer,
And may their love, so warm and true,
Meier Wobble out Of gear.
May heavens blessings crown the pair
And the life they we just begun,
And may their love-fire ever glare
Like bald head in the sun.
Il Evansville Argus.

Twilight Phenomena at the Equator.

Twilight phenomena of similar
character to the appearances lately SO
prevalent were, according to letters
just received, observed in the island of
Manritius. This is especially remark
able, as in that island, situated twenty
degrees above the equator, night, as a
rule, follows the day without any no.
ticeable transition. On several even
ings of October, however, there was a
splendid glow in the west quite half an
hour after sunset, and when night had
fairly set in this glow soon extended
over the whole sky, being reflected on
the clouds and covering the island with
a purple tint. The sea is described as
apparently on fire, the vessels and their
masts looking black and standing out
IN bold relief. The same phenomenon
was observed before sunrise.

Kissing in England.

Kissing in England was certainly
known and practiced in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries and practiced
with an easy familiarity which shows that
the custom was general Indeed, so gen.
eral was the use of the kiss that it was
as usual as the bow. A gentleman taking
a lady to her seat from the dance invari-
ably kissed her, and if he had not would
have been voted very badly bred fellow.
How much older English kisses were
is not very clear Suffice it to say that
the custom has outliyed to our day,
though fashionable and general games,
IN which kissing formed a prominent
part, are now becoming rarer than they
were quarter of century ago.
The literature of kisses is curious.
There is a story retailed in the "Broad
Stone of Honor" of an English knight
riding through France to the Field of
the Cloth of Gold. His horse cast shoe
at a certain village, and the Seigneur
whereof had departed to the same rem
devious, but the Seigneur's lady hospita-
bly, entertained the traveller. She came
out of her castle attended by twelve dam
sells fair to see; ''and," said the dame,
'forasmuch as ye have in England such
a custom as that man may kiss a wo-
maa, therefore will that ye kiss me, and
ye shall also kiss all these my maidens, F"
which thing the knight straightway did
and rejOiced greatly thereat.
The quaintness of the last phrase un-
doubtedly indicates the young mans
feelings at the salute with considerable
exactitude.
In Africa and other parts of the world
outside the circle f civilization kissing
is as yet an unknown art.
An African traveller once offered kiss
under favorable circumstances to a young
lady Of king Mumbo Jumbo's court, but
she recoiied in great alarm; observing
that she was mot yet worthy to be
eaten. y
