It was new thing to Gonna to be treated with consideration and respect, and the gentle deference and courtesy of the young painters manner touched her far more deeply than he ever suspected. In all her rough, hard life no one had ever seemed to care for any feeling or desire of her own, and now she had found one being who never mocked at her want of beauty, who never slighted or neglected her even for the lovely younger sisters attractions.
 It was terror and yet joy to her to be in his presence, to hear his voice, to meet his eyes, to have the chance tonch of his hand on her head or shoulder as ho moved or changed her position from time to time. Her face seemed to glow with happiness; the rich color burned in feverish brilliance on her dark cheeks, and gavo luster to the great pathetic eyes, and even transflgured tho patient homely lace, which he had honored- so she deemed it-beyond all words by plao- ing on his canvas
 "I am sorry have to hide your eyes in my picture" he said one day. "They arc so beautiful"
 The words brought the hot blood leaping to her face, and filled her with strange and passionate delight. Beautiful 1" that ho should have applied that word to one attr- bute of hers seemed wonder for credence. It seemed to change her whole life to rap- ture-not with the qualification of vanity, but the marvel that one human being had thought her worthy of such praise. He did not know what tumult of emotion ho had reused in the breast of his quiet model. She sat there, still and motionless as statue of marble | her long lashrs covering har eyes, and only the flush on her dusky cheex and tns tremble of her locked fintse"s betraying any agitation.
 "Are you tired" he asked her, as he laid down his brushes at last. and 50 released her from the strain Of her attituaa.

One contained . section of n healthy lung of a man who had lived in the country, and the other the lung of a man who had lived and died in New York. The country lung showed g clear, pink color; the city lung was almost black, and it was impossible to trace the veins through tho smut and dirt.

Lord Gives COurtshiD.

About the middle of the last century
young cadet named Maskeleyne went
to India, where he became acquainted
with Lord Give. The acquaintance
ripened into intimate friendship and
led to constant association. There hung
in Mr.. Maskeleynes room several por-
traits, among others miniature which
attracted Lord Gives frequent atten-
ton. One day, after the English mail
had arrived, Give asked Maskeleyne if
he had received any English letters,
adding: 1--WE have been very much
misunderstood at home and much cen
sured in English circles" Maskeleyne
replied that he had, and read to his
friend a letter which he held in his
hand.
A day or two afterward Give came
back to ask to have the letter read to
him again. "Who is the writer?" in
quired Give. "My sister" was the re-
ply; "my sister, whose miniature hangs
there" "Is it a faithful representation q
further asked Give. TT is" replied
Maskeleyne, of her face and form, but
it is unequal to represent the excellence
of her mind and character" well.
Maskeleyne," said Give, taking him
by the hand, "you know me well, and
can speak of me as I really am. Do
you think that girl would be induced
to come to India and marry me? In the
present state of affairs I dare not hope
to be able to go to England" Maske-
leyne wrote home, and SO recon-
mended Gives suit that the lady ac-
quiesced, went to India, and in 1853
was married at Madras to Give, then
rising to the highest distinction. CHI

Whitman, the intrepid missionary, who
saved Washington, Idaho and Oregon
to the Union, once more brought it into
notice. Whitman did not settle at
Lewiston, but went on to Walla Walla,
where he remained until 1912. Learn
ing then that the American Gov
eminent contemplated surrendering
this part of the country to the
British for some privileges to New
England fishermen off the coast of
Newfoundland, under the impression
that Oregon was a sterile, worth
less tract, and separated from the
East by impossible mountain barriers,
he made perilous horseback ride,
alone, across the mountains and plains,
to St. Louis, and thence to Washing
ton, where he succeeded in obtaining
from President Tyler promise that ii
he would demonstrate the fertility of
the country and open route by lead
ing company of a thousand emigrants
from the Mississippi to the Columbia
and settling them there, this region
now Oregon, Washington and Idaho
thirty-two times as large as Massa-
chusetts, should not be sacri-

the spring of 1843 Whitman per-
formed the required task. and this

4 TOWN WITH A HISTORY.

It seems strange that far North
western town should have much of q
history, yet Lewiston can trace rec
ord back to the early days of the CEN
tury when, in 18o4=5, Lewis and Clarke
made their famous transcontipental
trip. It was at the junction of the
Snake and Clearwater Rivers that they
pitched their tents on certain occa-
sion on that eventful journey, and their
old camping ground has since become
the site of thriving little city of not
less than two thousand souls. Six or
seven years after Lewis and Clarke,
Hunts party, on its way to Astoria,
reached the same spot. as related by
Washington Irving in his account of
that ill-starred expedition; but for
many years after Hunt the Indians
were the only visitors, with possibly
an occasional wandering white man,
until in 1886, when Rev. Marcus

A fellow-missionary with Whitman

twelve miles above Lewiston. Here
he built the first house in Idaho, which
is still standing 1t was originally q
two-story building, though only the
ground floor remains. The cut here

the structure looks. It is now used by
the Indians for stable. In this build

Astronomical Photography.

The first daguerreotype of the moon
was taken by Professor J. W. Draper,
of New York, in 1910; the first of the
sun by Foucault, of Paris, in 1915; the
first of the stars by Professor Bond, of
Harvard College, in 1850; the first of
a solar eclipse by DR.. Busch, of Koe-
nigsburg, in 1851, and by Professor
Bartlett, of West Point, n. Y. in 1854 !;
the first photograph of the spectrum of
the eclipsed sun by Professor Schuster
and Mr.. Lockyer, of England, in 1882 !;
the first of nebula by DIR. Henry
Draper, of New York, in 1881; the
first of the spectrum of star by DR..
Higgins, of London, and by DR..
Draper, OF New York. "Since the first

Holden, "there has been an enormous
advance in every way. The greatly
increased sensitiveness of the modern

was presented by the First Native
Church of Hawaii to the Lapwai Mis-
sion. E. 0. Hall came along with it to
set the type. Part of the New Testa-
ment was set up and printed in the Nez
Perez language and distributed among
the Indians. This was the first print
ing on the coast. The press is now in
the State Library at Salem, Oregon.
The Government subsequently estab-
lished military post at Lapwai, but it
was abandoned couple of years ago,
and the buildings are now used for In
dian schools.
The permanent settlement of Lewis
ton began in 1852, with the discovery
of gold in the mountains of Idaho and
Montana, and for years was an outitting
point for the miners. Thousands of
men camped about here during the
first year, and worked the streams for
gold dust Everything was held at in
hated figures. The present Court
House, built for a hotel, cost $50, 900,
common 1aborers being paid as high as
$40 day.
Lewiston was the first capital OF
Idaho Territory, the Legislature meet
ing in separate buildings, as shown in the
sketch, which gives them as they looked

while the saloon building sandwiched
in between has tumbled into ruins.

A Field for Investigators.

1t was stated thirty years ago that an
ordinary battery would impart to per-
feet electric motor only one horse
power of energy from o consumption
of two pounds of zinc per hour, while
a good steam engine would give an
equal power from two pounds per hour
of the much cheaper coal. Prof. Ayrton
now asserts, however, that zinc batter
les may yet be made an important and
economical source ofmechanical energy,
and that they may furnish solution Of
the problem of converting the energy
of coal into electric energy without the
wasteful steam engine. Before this can
be accomplished it will be necessary to
lind process of unburning the oxi-
died zinc at cost comparable with
the cost of an equal weight of coal, SO
that the metal may be cheaply used
over and over.-ArkGassGlc Iraueler.

danger.

IT is now definitely settled that the
romantic incidents narrated in Whit
tiers Barbara Fritchie" had little
foundation in fact; but that the story
chiefly omanated from the fertile brain
of the popular novelist, Mrs. E. d. E.
n. Southworth, is not generally
known. That such was the case, how
ever, we have Mr.. Whittier's own as
surance. The original story is sup
posed to have obtained circulation
through grandnephew of Barbara
Fritchie, who was clerk in Washing
ton, and who related some anecdote of
"Aunt Barbara's" patriotism within the
hearing of Mrs. Southworth, who COM
municated it to Whittier. No doubt
somewhere between the narrators such
engagements and additions as fiction
and poetry are liable to beget, were
made the foundation facts. Mr.. Whit
tier states that his original account
was from Mrs. Southworth, and that
"the poem is pretty close transcript
of it." It is quite evident that the
sober-minded Quaker bard fully be-
lieved the story which his poetic
genius has we'll nigh immortalized as
an historical fact.
