Fortunately it was dark, or the girl would
have stopped before, terrified by the awful
passion sweeping across his face Every
sweet word of hers seemed to sting him;

gave the wagon terrible twist. To go over
was death, for the road is filled with sharp
lime rock chips. The girl knew this; but
she was with him, with her lover, with the
man to whom she had given all, and was
not afraid. 1t is not terrible for such women
to die if their lovers lips press the same
cup. At the height of his fury, the mans
mood suddenly changed. Instead of beat

on his launches with strength that set the
girl glorying.

The Rev. james T. Taylor attended the
meetings of the American Board of Missions

has seen service in most parts Of the world,
and though now too old to engage in active
work he takes Keen interest in every move

'The Maoris, as the aborigines of New
Zealand are called. said Mr.. Taylor, ''are
noble race, and offer q startling contrast
to the now almost extinct aborigines of the
nelghboring island of Tasmania, physically
and intellectually. The Tasmanians, If
indeed any of them are yet alive, cannot be
taught to count beyond 20, the number Of
their fingers and toes, whereas the
Maoris are capable Of classic
education. Indeed, many of them
are in the New Zealand Parliament, and
one of them at least-WiTemu Otaki-is an
accomplished speaker. As warriors, fighting
man to man, they are equal in every respect
to the British, upon whom they have often
inflicted disastrous defeats. Unfortunately,
tine white mans rum and the white mans

SENATOR EVARTS' FORGETFULNESS.

Some of His Habits That Afford Amusement
to His Colleagues.
Brooklyn Standard Union.l
A gentleman familiar with the habits of
Senator Evarts says that be is noted, among
other things, for always introducing bills,
resolutions, petitions and various routine
business entirely out of order. He is never
in the Senate when the gavel falls at 12
o'clock, and hence he misses the chapIain's
morning prayer. Mr.. Ingalls, was very
punctillious about observing the regular
order in receiving and dis posing Of the
routine morning business, but his rules of
discipline were often obliged to give way to
Senatorial courtesy. Almost every morning
when Mr.. Evarts comes into the Senate
Chamber he has large number of bills and
petitions to present.
He generally forgets all about them until
the session is well under way, when he
wakes up and begs leave to present few
matters out of order. Of course, the leave is
always granted, but it annoys the presiding
officer and puts the clerk to considerable in.
convenience. The Senators make laughing
remarks and the only person entirely un-
moved by his careless habit is Mr. Evarts
himself

Doors opening into the room in which you
keep flowers should have strips of listing
tackled about them in such way as to close
all cracks through which the wind can
enter. A strong wind will blow more cold
into room in moderate weather than will
be likely to penetrate in still nights when
the thermometer is down to zero. There
fore be sure to fortiiy against the admission
of air through these inlets. 1t is a good
plan to take day for doing this work, and
begin at one corner of the room, and go over
it thoroughly, finishing up each part as you
go along. BY systematizing the work in
this way, you are sure to have it we'll done,
but if you stop crack here and there, and
now and then, as it happens to be dis
covered, you will be pretty sure to have
poor job of it taken as a whole.
If your plants should freeze, as soon as
you discover what has been done put them
in dark room, or the cellar where the tenn
perature is but little above freezing. and
sprinkle, or rather, shower them with cold
water. In most cases, such plants as abutil-
ons, geraniums and others of similar char

to thaw, be saved, an6 have quite tender
plants come through the ordeal with COM
paratively little injury. The frost must be
extracted gradually, and with the applica-
tion of as little heat as possible. Keep them
away from the light and warmth for two or
three days
II the tops wilt after the frost has been
extracted you may feel quite sure that the
wilted portion cannot be saved, so cut it off
at once, and be sure to cut below the part
which appears affected by the Frost If some
of the frosted part is left on, very often decay
sets in which extends to the stalk below.

A rainy Saturday is not a helpful element OF

Dairy products continue slow, and poultry and

few days past has curtailed demand for fruits
and vegetables to some extent. Choice potatoes
are steadier, but common grades. with which
markets have been glutted for some weeks
past, are very weak and are only sold at liberal
concessions Sweet potatoes are steady. De-

wide furnace doors thrusting dry logs into
fires the smoke of which, like that of &C.
henna, goes up forever and ever; or, amid
clouds Of sufOcating dust that fills eyes and
throat, draw and barrel the glaring white
lime, every touch sending a shivery thrill
of repugnance through physically sensitive
bodies. The men are divided into two
divisions, one working all day, the other
all night Those who work by day are poor,
and those who work at night are just as
poor.
These men have homes, not as warm as
the kilns to be sure, or as well built. Lime
cannot be made in old or unrepaired kilns;
but men and women can be had anywhere,
SO particular care about them is unneces-
sary. Most of the lime burners live near
their work, too tired to walk far away, per-
haps, and as the kilns take up the entire
water front, thev live on the streets next
back, which have all the mud and none of
the ocean look. This does not matter,
either, for such men have no time for sea
dreams. Their wives and daughters
strange to say they have wives and daugh-
tiers; they ought to prefer celibaey, one can
live on SO much less than a family. The
less man wants the more contented he is,
and content is absolutely essen
tial in good lime burner. l
forget, though, there must be recruits,
young men to take the places of the old,
and lime burners grow old very fast. Yes,
it is best they should marry, even if they are
less content. But was going to say that
their wives and daughters might enjoy the
sea view if they could have it. 1t true the
poor things would probably prefer better

A LARGE PENDULUM.

The longest pendulum on this contin-
ent swings In the chronological school at
Atlanta. 1t Is heavy pear shaped piece
of iron attached to brass WIRE forty two
feet long. The upper end of the wire is
pivoted in steel plate so as to cause the
least possible friction. The swinging of
the pendulum gradullay described q
circle on the floor in a direction follow
ing the sun, showing in this that ''the
earth do move"
Directly under the pendulum is large
circle divided into twenry-four parts, of
fifteen degrees each to correspond with
the hours of the day. The north pole is
placed directly under the pendulum and
meridians of longitude meet there. The
parallels of latitude make smaller circles
inside the first
DIR. j. S. Hopkins, president of the
school, who made and put up the pendu
lum, performs the experiment as follows.
The iron is brought to the edge of the
circle in the meridian of Atlanta and let
swing across. Apparently it goes
straight across, but gradually traverses
the circle in the direction taken by the
sun aud opposite to revolution of the
earth. The pendulum not being direct
ly over the axis of the earih, does not
move in exactly the same time as the sun
