THE OUTFALL SEWER.
No Need to Delay 1T On Account of
the Bonds.

At the special meeting of the City
Council on Wednesday last it was stated
that it would be of no use to go ahead
with the project to build the sewsr toward
the sea, as the city bonds could not be
sold, if issued, to pay for the work. A
contractor said yesterday, that if this is
the only thing in the way, the Council
need not hesitate an instant. If the plan
was adopted as proposed, of building but
two or three miles at time, it would
not require more than $75, 900 or $10O, 900.
There were contractors in the field ready
and willing to take the bonds, if legally
issued, as payment for the work. The
bonds could be issued and they would be
perfectly willing to take all the risk and
to accept the low rate of interest they
would bear. He advised that tl,e City
Council go ahead as if there were no
difficulty in the way, and when the
proper time came to pay for the sewer,
the bonos could be turned over for the
same.

They had. however, succeeded in frustrat-

No romantic tale ever had so many Incl
dents as that of a young woman of Buko-
wilma. She was very beautiful and all the
young men who were in the district fell In
love with her. She had hundred offers
of marriage before she was 20 and before
she accerted the 101st. Then her troubles
began. Her first fance died suddenly
from an accident; the second was taken
away with the army, likewise the third
and fourth; the fifth and sixth were drown
ed; the seventh and eighth broke off on
learning of the smallness of her fortune
the ninth got drunk on his betrothal day
and tried to beat the young woman, so she
broke it off; the tenth seemed promising
in every way. but as the marriage was
about to take place it was learned that he
had a wife and children In Bessarabia.
The wedding was fixed for the eleventh,
but he decamped for some unknown reason
and thereupon the young woman gave it
up and poisoned herself.

The Uses of Cottonseed.

The history of cottonseed is in itself in
teresting, and marks an age of wonderful
progress. For seventy years the seed was
despised as a nuisance and burned and
dumped as garbage Then it was discov-
cred to be the very food for which the soil
was hungering and reluctantly admitted to
the rank of utilities, and began to be treat
ed with respect.
Cottonseed was next found to be nutri-
tious food for beasts; and then this former
ly despised product was discovered to hold
thirty-fve gallons of pure oil to the ton,
worth, IN its crude state, Sl4 ton, which
amounted to S40,000.000 for the whole
crop of seed. The refined oil is now worth
50 gallon.
But new wonder was yet to come. Elk
perience showed that ton of cottonseed
was better fertilizer and a better stock
food after it had been robbed of its thirty
five gallons of oil than it was before;
that the hulls of the seeds made the best of
fuel for feeding the oil-mill engine; that
the ashes of the hulls had the highest COM
mercial value as potash, and that the
refuse Of the whole made the best
and purest soap stock, to carry to the
toilet perfumes of the best manufacture
ers.
The history of cottonseed has, perhaps,
been paralleled by that Of petroleum,
which, in its crude state, Unlocking and
bad-smelling, has proved a mine Of
wealth In the wonderful substances that
have been produced from it-Y outh s Com

A Smart Dog

4 Cincinnatian has dog named Prince
which he ordinarily compels to wear mask
when out of doors. The other day while
the boys were playing ball. Prince was
sitting at his accustomed place behind the
bat. without his mask, when the ball hit
him a fearful blow on the nose and laid
him out senseless. The boys gathered
about their four-legged companion and
finally restored him to consciousness. Prince
sat to one side after that for several innings
But he was uneasy until an idea seemed to
enter his little fiat head. and giving bark
of joy he ran into the house and emerged
in few minutes wearing his mask. TAX
ing his old position near the catcher, he
peered grave1y through the wires at the
players. as much as to say: Throw all
the balls you please this way, I'm protect
ed as well as the catcher.

EVOLUTION.

boy sat dreaming near summer brook,
Dreaming of things to come and yet content
To view the landscape with enraptured look;
The sunset bars of gold, with crimson blent
Filled all his soul with silent wonderment:
His was sacred joy; beyond compare.
To think this earth had scenes wondrous fair.
Long years have passed; the boy hath learnt his
share
OF knowledge of the toll that daily strives
How earth is filled with bitter cark and care.
And ceaseess want broods darkly DER the lives
Of city haunting tollers, men and wives.
How can his heart do othsrwise than grieve
That earth has dens where ruffians cheat and
thieve:
Oh that the course of time could back return.
When sunset skies could yield perfect peace.
When every slope, ablaze with golden fern,
x en In decay showed beauty's rich increase.
And every skylarks song babe sorrow cease,
Before the innocent mind had learnt TO
how Gods fair earth is marred by sins of man.
But wherefore backward gaze with fond regret:
Canst thou not learn the lesson God would teach
His face is forward, and His laws have set
No limit TO His forecasts boundless reach;
If even here, at times, joy visits each
Whose mind is pure conceive what joys may thrill
A world unsoiled by crime, untouched by i'll,
forward! Though my mind must fail to
guess.
The vast developments of endles time,
Believe that He. whose smile doth even bless
This sinful earth, can, in his plan sublime,
Complete a universe that knows no crime
Serve faithfully; help them that err, and wait;
God in good time throws wide the golden gate.

The Human Far.

ST. Louis Republic: Few people realize
what wonderfully delicate structure the
human ear really is That which we ordi-
narily designate so, is, after all, only the
mere outer porch of series of winding
passages, which like the Hobbies of great
building, lead from the world without to
the world within. Certain of these pass
ages are full of liquid and their membranes
are stretched like parchment curtains
across the corridor of different places, and
can be made to tremble like the head of
drum or the surface of a tambourine does
when struck with a stick or with the
fingers Between two of these parchment
like curtains chain of very small bones
extends, which serves to tighten or relax
these membranes and to communicate
vibration to them. In the innermost place
of all row of white threads called nerves
stretch like the strings of piano from the
last point to which the tremblings or
thrillings reach and pass inward to the
brain. A wonderful piece of mechanism,

Two centuries ago Everhard Feith a
Flemish scholar living In France, enjoyed
considerable reputation a as teacher of class
ical authority. He is still remembered by
all lovers of Greek literature for his learned
and interesting 'Antiquitatis Homericus. :"
Walking out one day while the streets of
his adopted city were full of people a man
standing at door ON the opposite side
walk beckoned to him. The professor
passed over and passed into the house.
From that moment he was never again
seen. In Lincolnshire a marriage was
being celebrated in the year 1850 While
the festivities were at their height, the
bridegroom was suddenly summoned away
by domestic, who said that a stranger
had asked to see him. He was never seen
again. A similar tradition fingers about
an old deserted WEIGH hall near Festiniog.
There, too, the bridegroom was sent for TO
give audience to a stranger on his wedding
day and promptly disappeared from the
face of the earth. But there they tell in
addition that the bride lived long-that
she passed her three-score and ten, but
that during all those years she sat watch
ing at one particular window which COM
manded the approach to the house. She
grew weak and childish before her death,
but she had only one wish, to sit In that
long. high window and watch the road
along which he might come. One after
noon in the summer of 1873 a shoemaker
named O'NeiII, the founder of the Sixth
avenue firm which still bears his name,
told one of his clerks that he had business
down town and boarded passenger car.
From that day to this no one who knew
him has ever laid eyes upon him. He was
doing a good business, he was sober and
Industrious, his private life was happy, he
had never been afflicted with any mental
disorder But the most liberal rewards,

THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO PRO-
POSE.
Those Aatrimonially Inclined May Take
Their Choice.


Their Choice.
Here are two kinds of proposing This
one is the kind you read about, but the
other Is the one most popular In the realm
of fact: My angel, l have long waited
for this opportunity. You must have de-
tected ere now the growth of my love for
you. From the day first met you that
love took root, and tonight it is strong
and sturdy, unwavering, undying. Your
sweet smiles have lighted up my life your
every word has been to me a note of ex-
quisite music, thrilling, enthralling me-
You have filled a place In my heart, In my
affections, that no one has ever before
occupied. Ny lifelong happiness depends
solely upon the answer you give me. Say
you will be mine to love, caress, cherish,
idolize through time and eternity, and
make me of all men most envied But if
you ref-Oh, | cannot! / cannot The
thought is madness. You will be my wife?
| see the answer of your heart mirrored in
your lustrous eyes; you know love you as
no other man ever has loved you, or ever
can love you, darling. | know you will
not thrust me off. v
The angel assumes stereotyped really
this-is-so-sudden expression, and assures
Mr.. Wordie she would derive pleasure from
being his sister.
Here is the other way:
''Maude, I've been thinking seriously
lately"
Really, Fred, you ought to be more
judicious than to do anything so rash as
that
''Yes, know it is heavy tax on my
mental capacity, but then / always was
reckless that way. This time however, |
think have been thinking to some pur-
pose. In fact, I've been thinking you
wouldn't object to having your name
changed"
"When?"
''Just as soon as possible.
''Will it be home or church,"
Church of course; we want to do this
thing in style.
Have you asked pap,
Certainly not. | don't want to marry
your father.

Deep silence reigns again, save as it is
broken by the soft signing of the treetops,
swayed by gentle breeze. Gleefully the
stars twinkle; the moon looks beamingly
down from Heaven to earth, and discovers
on a ne-bowered piazza two forms with
but single chair.
