CHAPTER Xxx.

Mrs. Linley's application for divorce was
heard in the first division of the Court of Ses-
sion at Edinburgh, the lord president being
the Judge.
To the disappointment Of the large audi
ence assembled, no defense was attempted
on tho part of the husbands wise decision.
seeing that the evidence of the wife and her
witnesses was beyond dispute. But one ex-
citing incident occurred toward the close of
the proceedings. Sudden illness made Mrs.
Linley's removal necessary, at the moment
of all others most interesting to herself-the
moment before the judges decision was an
nOunced.
BUT as the event proved, the poor lady's
withdrawal was the most fortunate circum-
stance that could have occurred. In her own
interests. After condemning the husbands
conduct with unsparing severity the lord
president surprised most of the persons pres
ent by speaking of the wife In these terms:

A Milwaukee newspaper man was
travelling in the western part of the
state and he had an odd experience on
a train near Portage He was half
asleep when the conductor touched
him on the shoulder and saluted him
with the usual demand to fork over his
ticket. OF course. like all first class
newspaper men. he had n mileage book.
This he produced and told the conduc-
tor to tear out the fare TO La Crosse.
Then this conversation began
'Is this your name on this bookT
"Yes.

"But nothing. See this hat. Well,

The porter sang out Mt this juncture
that dinner was now ready in the
dining car, and the conductor, taking
advantage Of the open door, slid into
the next Pullman without taking
sheet out of the book. lie came back
later with some good cigars. -Milwau-

N 1nE OLD MAIDS, pLor.

odd Burlai Place in Greenwood That
Suggests Many Curious Thoughts.
'sThis right here is the plot where the
Society Of Old Maids was buried"
The guide that showed us through
Greenwood cemetery made this rather
oueer announcement with that non
chalant precision for which guides arc
noted
what do you meanT
''This piece Of ground" replied the
cuide in the same tone, twas bought
by the Society Of Old Maids 1t was
agreed that they would all be buried
together. That was long time ago.
The society don't exist now. The last
OF 'em was buried years ago The So
ciety was started 10y three sisters.
There's their graves alongside each
other. There's some thirty Others there.
You can see the gravestones for your
self"
And so far as could be seen the guide
was right The plot of ground seemed
to be about 40 by 40 feet. The grass
grew long and rank over all of the
graves in it. and evidently none of
them had been opened in years. Not
all of the graves had headstones, so it
was impossible to Judge with any accu-
racy as to which was the last member
buried of this rather unique society.
One thing was certain, so far as the
gravestones could prove it, and this
Al. I,,4 .ia1
rested in that particular piece OF
ground. On every stone was the an
nouncenent, so that no one could go
astray, that the woman who rested be-
meath was a spinster
! Another thing the visitor noticed was
that most of the "old maids" as they
chose to call themselves, did live to be
old maids in good sooth, for of those
who had headstones few had died until
they had attained a ripe old age. Evi-
IDENTIFY carking care had not intervened
to shorten their days. But examples OF
this were found in more striking form
on the headstones of the three sisters
who are said to have originated the so
ciety. There were some quaint and
pious inscriptions there, and 1t was
shown that all OF these three women
had lived to be more than 100 years
old. One had attained the age of Ill,
and the other two had lived to be about
107 and 105, respectively.
The visitor could not but wonder, If
all could be told, whether some of the
women who rested here under the trees
may not have had their loves, their
tears and fears and heartaches, just as
do those who marry and are given in
marriage; whether sInall tragedies, OF
human kind, buried with some of those
spinsters now sleeping so peacefully
might not have led them to live their
lives apart from the devotion of hus-
band and the love and laughter Of
children.
But there was no one there to an
swer. New York Recorder.

have often been asked what the
figures on playing cards indicate or
how the figures came to be first used.
My grandfather was, like myself, an
all around sport, and l have heard him
tell that they originally indicated the
different classes of people in the king
dom of France, which, believe, was
the first to introduce cards. Hearts
represented 'choir men" or ecclesias-
tics, and the early cards of that suit
have cape which in form resembled
heart. The spade was originally a
pikehead, typifying the nobility or sol
diery.
The artisans were represented by
stone tile, now known as a diamond,
Farmers were represented by the ire
foil or clover leaf, now called club.
The four kings were originally David,
Alexander, Cesar and Charemagne,
representing the four great monarchies,
The queens were Argine, Judith, Es
ther and Pallas, representing birth,
fortitude, piety and wisdom. The
knaves were either knights or servants

improvements In Pulley cove, ings.


Some additional improvements in
the covering of pulleys are announced,
by one of which. as is claimed, so per
cent. more power can be transmitted
and all slipping reduced to an imper-
ceptible factor. In accomplishing this
the primary point is the employment
of specially prepared leather covering
for the pulley. which is extremely soft
and elastic and never glazes by the
rubbing action of the belt, as is the
case when ordinary leather Is employed
for the purpose. It is applied to the
pulley and held firmly TO it for all time
by means of special cement, made so
as TO be soft and to remain so, unlike
ordinary cement or glue, no rivets OF
any kind being used, as the leather
covering is firmly attached TO the iron
of the pulley by the cement alone.
Covering iron pulleys with paper is
sometimes resorted to, the method con
sisting in first rendering the pulley alb
solutely free from grease by means OF
sal soda. scratching the whole surface
with tlle, wetting with dilute nitric
acid for few minutes to deaden the
scratches, then cleaning with water and
drying; following this the paper is ap-
piled by windingN Nusing the strongest
glue, or it may be wetted with tannic
acid and applied as above. Some pre-
fer to add a tablespoonful of glycerin
to n quart of glue and then apply hot.
The edges are turned off and coating

Delicate work Intrusted to Women.


Eighty-three cases of money, charred
SO as TO crumble at the touch, came
from the great Boston fire. One case
was found by six ladies to contain $50, =
600. How they did it is described in
this manner by one of them:
After unpacking the money from
the raw cotton in which it travelled, as
zealously swathed as the most precious
jewelry, the ladies separated each small
piece with thin knives made for the
purpose; then laying the blackened
fragments on sheets of blOtting paper
they decided by close scrutiny the value
genuineness and nature of the note
Magnifying glasses were provided, but
seldom used, except for the deciphering
of coupon numbers or other minute
details.
"The prices were then pasted on thin
paper, the bank notes returned to their
respective banks, and the United States
money put in sealed envelopes and de-
livered to a committee of four, who
superintended the final burning. The
amount of all the money from the cities
of Chicago and Boston identified was
81, ,226,341 or over 76 per cent of the
whole" Six months were required to
identify the money saved from these
two fires. Washington Cor. Boston

Swim Voyages Made When American Ship
ping Led the World.
Writers cf maritime history give to
the United States the credit OF estab-
fishing long lines of communication by
sea with far distant countries. As ear
Iy as 1889 the MERCHANTS of Boston dis
patched their ships direct to China and
the East Indies. some time before Eng
land entered on this trade, for the
American vessels not only brought their
cargoes to the home markets, but also
transshipped spices, silks, teas, sugar
coffee and cotton to Europe. In those
times a skipper felt satisfied If he made
the outward voyage of Is, miles, by
way of the Cape Of Good Hope. in LOO
davs. and came back via Cape Horn,
some II. 900 miles, in the same time.
The development of the resources OF
the east by the East India company and
the richness of the freights carried by
the United States vessels-the proceeds
of a single voyage often defraying the
first cost of the ship-induced England
TO enter into competition; thus start
ing that rivalry between the sailing
fleets of the two nations that was long
the admiration of the world.
In 1S45 the American clippers-long,
low, of good beam, very fine lines and
with yards so square and spars SO lofty
as to set greater spread Of canvas in
proportion to their tonnage than any
ship hitherto sailed--entered the race
and left all rivals far astern. Then fol
lowed the days of which the old sad
sea dogs" still love TO tell when every
stitch of sail was carried until the fierce
wind blew it from the bolt ropes; when
for weeks the lee scuppers lay buried
in the seething waters and the flying
lib boom plunged deep into the white
capped waves; when the good ship
Sovereign of the Seas came into port
ninety days from Hong-Kong, and the
town gathered on the wharf to welcome
the daring navigators, while the cargo
of teas and coffees was sold at fabulous
prices.
And these old salts still discuss the
dinner given the bold captain that
night, when the log of the voyage
would be read and the men would sit
amazed at hearing that in twenty-five
days the ship had sailed over 5,391
miles, that for four days her daily run
had been 341. 8 miles, and that in one
day she had done 315 miles, at the rate
of 1876 knots. - Lieutenant Ridgely

The Divine Love.

How beautiful has science and art
shown that there is latent divine
love for man in those things which
his ignorance would inevitably regard
as terrible enemiesl Many of the most
noxious gases have been converted by
human skin into the most valuable
servants. See how fire, so awful, so
terrible, so destructive when misunder-
stood or uncontrolled, conduces to the
advantage of our race.
The savage trembles before large
volume of steam, but the civilized man
lays his hand on it as master, and it
watts him on missions of wealth or
benevolence or instruction around the
world. Through centuries the light
ming was regarded as an absolute foe to
our race, but science has shown that in
its fierce nature lies force which is a
providontial blessing. New York Led
