 As a last desperate resource, Helen caught sight of a thick portiere hang ing at the further end of the room, con cealing the door to a small apartment formerly used as a china closet, and behind it she took nasty refuge, with her books and half filed sherbet glass, it's ample folds concealing her entirely from view.

 Arrived Steamers.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-The storm of the past three days has caused widespread damage. Reports are coming in hourly of disasters on sea and land caused by wind and rain. The severest sufferers by the hurricane are the transatlantic steamships. The Alaska from Liverpool; Polynesia, from Stettin, and the City of Para, from Colon, arrived yesterday after rough and tempestuous voyages.
 There are nearly 8 dozen ocean liners overdue, among them being the Ethiopia, from Glasgow and Neville; Alsatia from Gibraltar; City of Washington, from Havana; Normandie, from Liverpool; Saale, from Bremen; Finance, from St, Thomas; Persian Monarch, from London; and Spain from London. They should have arrived yesterday.
 The Alaska reported meeting the cy- clone in all it's fury, but no damge was done to the vessel except the breaking of a coupling of the machinery while off the banks of Newfoundland, which com pelled a delay of four hours. The as- sistant purser had two ribs broken by being knocked down by 8 wave which struck the ship. Half dozen of the passengers sustained severe bruises about the heads by being thrown against settees, tables and hunks, while the storm ragged.
 The steamship Polynesia, from Stettin, | carried only steerage passengers, and their sufferings affected even the stony l hearted officers. The ships surgeon worked hard to give them relief. The Stonington lines sfdewheel steamer Connecticut is disabled at City Island. She will be lowed to New York to-day by four tugs, which were sent to 1 her assistance yesterday afternoon by the company. The steamboat left this city at O clock on Monday night, carry ing 300 passengers. While off City Isl and the piston rod snapped. The vesse could not proceed, and anchors were

ALONG THE JERSEY COAST.

Great Damage by the Storm--NIany Cot
 tages Ruined and Traffic Delayed.
 AsBuRY PARK, N. J., Oct. 1.-The storm has done great damage along the Northern New Jersey coast. At Asbury- port the surf swept up under the board walk and tore out some piles and washed away parts of the beach. Between Long Branch and Seabright the surf made several breaks over into Ocean avenue, carrying all sorts of debris over into the roadway.
 At Seabright the most damage was done. Several cottages and many bath ing houses were badly torn and under mined by the strong surf. The railroad tracks at the depot were under water and traffic was more or less delaye d.

or lingerie as Helen, who, always accustomed to hav- ing her things admired and copied, had grown to consider herself no mean authority on the all important subject.
 Helen, my love, what do you think the girls would say if they could sec you in the present dress?" inquired her mother, seriously. one warm morning when Helen appeared at the breakfast table in more than her usual desha- bille
 'No danger of that, little mum; I don't intend they shall" replied Helen, gayly, trying to conceal the uneasy flush that had arisen to her check at her mothers glance and words
 "Now, mum, don't scold, there's a. dear" she went on, pleadingly. q can't be comfortable in dress all ruff fles and frills and lace; it's no use to try. never could be careless of my clothes.
 "What want is dress that I can curl up and feel at home in, without fear of creasing f1ounces or 1nussing bows. It's such dreadfully warm weather, too-everybod is out of town and if anyone calls I can whisk up- stairs and into immaculate attire in a twinkling; so do let me be comfortable in my own way, there's ducky."
 Mrs. Leslie looked after her and sighed deeply. This one obstinate fancy of Helen's had cost her many an unpleasant hour, spent in lecturing, demonstrating and coaxing, all in vain.
 No one, 10 see her tripping down the marble steps at three o'clock that afternoon, clad daintily enough for a princess in gown of pale gray crepe, intent on calling expedition, would have dreamed 80 refined and fastidious young lady could possibly be the same who had appeared at luncheon a short time previous with disheveled locks and tuubled print wrapper. Few of her friends were at home, it happened, so Helen found herself at liberty to retrace her steps full hour before she had anticipated doing so.
 Ike house was dark and still as she entered and Helen crept softly to her room, fearing to wake her mother, whom she knew was enjoying a nap. | 'It's too warm for any human being to call this afternoon she said to her self as she irresolutely stretched out her hand toward Q pink muslin tea gown, but she finally ended with steal ing downstairs in her old calico wrap per, her hair floating in careless free dom down her back.
 Having established herself in the big sleepy hollow with a palm leaf fan, 8 glass of sherbet and summer novel, she tipped the blind at just the right

course unsuccessful the party waa obliged to reluctantly take it's depart. ure, with many expressions of regret and Helen found herself free to escape from her prison.
 She remained in hiding, however, un til she heard her mother order the car riage, and knew she had set out for her evening drive. Then, half stifed witt heat and fatigue, she literally flew tc her own room.
 She sat down upon the edge of 3 chair and gazed at it for some moment, in silence.
 ''Helen Leslie - it - serves - you right,' she said at last, with sternly compressed lips, as she removed first one disgraccd slipper and then th@ other and flung them into the farthest depths of dark closet.
 She then tore off the despised calico wrapper, rolled it into ball, threw fl after the slippers, and proceeded tc brush out and arrange her thick coils of auburn hair and array herself in the prettiest and most uncomfortable white dress her wardrobe afforded.
 Then she went down to the garden to cool her flushed face, while awaiting UetI dH(t llCI iIISLllSl lGIItI H.
 She received the news of her unlucliy ? disappointmcnt with such quiet non. chalanco that Mrs Leslie was reduced to a state of puzzled astonishment, which increased the following after. noon when, on entering tho parlOr, she discovered Helen with neatly brushed hair, dressed in creamy white null, a bunch of roses at her belt, busted with piece of intricate embroidery, a pro- gramme that was regularly followed out each succeeding afternoon, till at last her mother inquired what was the cause of the sudden change she had ob- served in her since the date of her aunt's visit.
 Helen did not reply at first, save by a mischievous dimpling of one rosy cheek; then, rising and folding her work, she took her mothers hand and led her upstairs to her room, where she paused before a certain closet door, produced a key and threw it open.
 There in it's darkest recesses stool a stiff and unlifelille dummy, built ot broomsticl1s, arrayed in g forlorn calico gown, pair of troddcn down kid slip pers protruding from beneath the skirt hem, while piled directly before these grotesque extremities were one oi Howells' novels and q sticky sherbet glass.
 "But, Helen, my dear, what does il mean?" inquired bewildcred Mrs. Les lie
 Ut means, little mum, that there is a skeleton in every closet, and this is mine," rejoined Helen, soberly, and then she told her mother all about the cost ot her afternoon negligc. Perry, in Boston Globe.

A Submarine Sentry Which Does Away
 with Frequent Soundings.
 Among all devices employed by sea- men to make coast navigation less hazardous none is SO odd in principle as the lately invented submarine sentry. Its use is to keep a continuous under water lookout and to warn the mariner automatically of his entrance upon shallow waters. There are many methods of getting"the depths of the sea, but in all a definite interval, which may spell disaster, exists between sue cessive casts In gloomy weather, with an uncertain shore-line close aboard, heave of the lead may show there are water and sea room in plenty; but even before the next cast can be made the ship may have passed the zone of quick recovery and be imperiled, lost.
 To avoid these intervals and to mini mize this labor of frequent soundings by providing continuous underwater lookout that will warn instantly is the asserted purpose of the submarine

Oak timber loses about one-fifth of it's weight in seasoning, and about one third it's weight in becoming dry. Grad ual drying and seasoning are considered the most favorable to the durability and strength of timber. Kiln drying is particularly serviceable for boards and pieces of small dimensions, and unless performed slowly is apt to cause cracks and impair the strength of the wood. If timber of large dimensions be inn ,nersed in water for some weeks, it is improved, and is less liable to warp and crack in seasoning.

REFRESHMENTS BUNTING, of New York, who is president of the New York State Packers association, is in Wash ington. He is engaged in gathering facts to be presented to con gress when the question of repeating the present tin plate tariff comes up, as it is certain to do. Mir Bunting says he intends to eXpuse the imposture practice upon Major Mckinley and Senator Allison, whom he believes to be honest men, by the members of the forty firms, alleged to compose the Amer ican Tin Plate association, who told the members of the senate and house com mitres that within oue year they would be manufacturing all tine tin plate con stunned in the United States. He believes these mon to have been actuated solely by political motives, as not one firm has even attempted to fulfill the promises. MT Bunting says he has di- rect information to the effect that Major Mckinley is deeply mortified be- cause the promises made to him by these men, which he believed and acted upon, have not been kept; and he thinks both Mckinley and Allison owe it to the country to help undo the wrong which they were persuaded by false promises to do.
