must mention a curious mblance
between the wooing of Chanler and the
strange relationship which existed between
Barbara and Jock. While at Castle Hill,
and while Mr. Chanler was in New York
awaiting the decision of his fate, Miss
Rives did read in a newspaper a paragraph
about an Archie Chandler being hurt in a
runaway accident in the streets OF New
York. She did ride several miles across
country, in a pelting rainstorm, through
mud and over bitches and fences, to get to
a telegraph office and place herself in COM
munication with Mr. Chanler. This Incl
dent was afterward worked in the story of
Barbara aud Jock. It turned out to be a
Chandler and not Chanler who was hurt,
and the wild ride was in vain; no. not in
vain, for it had its influence in opening the
eyes of Miss Rives TO the hold her affection
for Mr. Chanler had upon her heart, and it

Injury TO the eyes in reading" be said
comes not from the position Of the body
but from the way in which light falls upon
the book. Provided the open page receives
the light, and at the same time the eyes
are shielded from the direct harsh rays,
reading can be INDUCED in to any extent
when the body is in the recumbent posture.
No one questions this when, during their

The straining TO sight comes from the
improper illumination of the printed sur
face; as, when persons read in bed from a
distant gas jet, which throws the light on
the back of the book, and necessarily into
the eyes of the reader. while the page pe-
rused is in shadow. If the gaslight in
the center Of the room or at the bureau is
good and the reader reverses the pillow to
the foot of the bed, so as to have the light
fall on the open book, no more harm can
come to the eye from the recumbent pos
ture than from reading at table with the
light overhead
The popular saying Of our grandmoth-
ers that reading lying down was injurious
originated at time when artificial light
was proverbially Indifferent, and when the
center table oil lamp was the only light
tit for reading purposes. The tallow dip

A departure in firing dynamite or other
high explosives in a shell and from an or
binary gun has met with great success in
Manchester, England. Mr. J E. Bott is
the inventor Instead of the cumbersome
machinery necessary to furnish the com
pressed air to drive the projectile, Mr.. Bott
supplies a shell containing highly com
pressed air in its rear portion. The gun
used is breechloading smoothbore.
When the shell is entered, the action of
firing forces pin inward at the base Of the
shell, thus tearing a hole in the retaining
valve and liberating the compressed air.
This drives the she'll from the gun with
wonderful force. 1t does not heat the gun,
makes scarcely any noise, produces no
smoke and has great range, and the ab-
sence of fouling enables it to be used con-

how he liked the organist's performance.

says manuscript reader in the New York
correspondence of the st. Louis Globe Demo-
erat, employed a well-known female writer
to write up an interesting phase of life six
years ago, for which she was to receive a
stipulated sum of money. When her article
was submitted the editor didn't like it and
sent it back, but she fired it back again, de-
rnanded pay and got it. The article was
and no one thought of it again
until short time ago, when the editor
resurrected it and had it put in type, forget
ing all about its origin.' It appeared in
recent number of the magazine, and was dis
cussed by literary people as one of the best
written articles published by the magazine
in question.
The editor Of another magazine was
attracted by the article, and wrote to the
lady asking her to submit matter to

spirited young woman, however, and re-

with a magazine editor is enough. She
says she will never write for them again.
If she did she might become famous She

AN EMPRESS FOR EER HEIGHT

Bismarck Said the Hohenzollerns We're
Getting Short, Hence the Alliance.
The Empress Of Germany is stupendous
and overwhelming excuse and encourage
ment for any woman's love of dress Au-
gusta makes magnificent appearance. One
would almost call her regal beauty.
Nevertheless, she is about as commonplace,
really, as empresses are ever made. and it
is only the glitter and glory of her magni-
fcent jewele and the style of her sumptuous
gowns that cheat the eye into admiring the
woman.
She is big woman; always tall, and by
profuse maternity given an amplitude not
graceful but imposing. It was her height,
so tits said, that gave her a throne. Bis
marck, whose word then was law, remarked
that Hohenzollerns were running down in
stature-getting below the royal feet and
inches. So he ordered that the young Prince
marry the tallest Princess that he could
find, which he did in the person of her pres
ent Majesty.

Asking servant the reason of it, he was

attention will be given to making the dress
es beautiful as possible, and the question of
economy will also be carefully considered.
The greatest expense will be in the boots,
which will have to be made to order, al
though the wrinkIed leather leggins can be
worn with the ordinary walking boot. The
skirt Of the dress will be killed, thus CIV
