HER SISTERS HONOR.
A Tale of English Life.
By Walter Besant.
CHAPTER II.-Continued.

CHAPTER u.-ConOnued.
when people have got no money
they must keep themselves. The Dean
came to see us this morning. You
know there was no one respected father
more than the D. an. He says that we
We must be brave and make the best OF
things"
"Yes-but, my child, cannot bear to
think of your having to work. These
pretty hands should do nothing but play
with pretty things"
AS for Naomi" said the owner Of the
pretty hands, she is SO clever with her
needle that she is quite sure to get a
good place somewhere. She says that
she could not take a situation in the
town to be reminded all day long how
we have come down. So she will go to
London, and must go with her. Then 1
shall be near you. Harry; and perhaps
perhaps"
Perhaps what, deaI?"
Perhaps, before long, you will be
able to take me away for good, and then
will work at nothing harder than to
please you, dear.
Dear Ruth. 1 ask for nothing better.
There could be nothing better. But"
You have not told your people about
me? Why not tell them and have done.
They can but refuse to call upon me, 1
suppose.
They are ambitious. They want to get
into society, you see, and they expect
me to help them. Well, We are rich
enough. 1 suppose, and we've got big
house in Palace Gardens, but my grand
father kept a shop. We are only in
trade as 1t is, although We have our
offices and our clerks instead of our
counter and our shopmen. See now,
Ruth, my father will give me a partner
ship when am five and twenty. That
is in six months; then 1 shall be inde-
pendent. Let us get along, somehow,
till then. cannot have my darling or
dered about by some scou2drel shop
walker, or working her fingers to the
bone"
The girl shook her head.
Naomi would not hear of such a
thing, she said, unless it was properly
understood and was acknowledged. No,
Harry, must be Independent of you
until"
If l can afford to maintain you dear,
why not?
No, not even if 1 have to go lower
down the ladder, Harry. Cant you see
that it is impossible? l can wait for
you. And don't suppose that shall
drag you down with me, shall II"
She said this with a laugh, but like
many light words they were prophetic.
She was, although she knew it not. to
drag him lower-lower; her hand was
to be upon his head pushing him down,
down, down.
Let us 60 home," she said. Alas,
Naomi is gong through the things. They
all belong to the creditOrs-even the
old books on the shelves-even the
swing in the garden-au except our own
clothes; even the seat under the null
berry tree. In a day or two we shall 60
out of the old home-we two together.
What will become of us? What shall we
do?"
You are not without friends" said
the oung man; you have me.
The wind freshened and the rain beat
upon their faces.
Il am full of terrors," said the girl
1T seems as if something dreadful
wcpld happen to me.
You have me to protect you, Ruth"
Her lovers words were brave, but
they lacked that subtle quality
which insures confidence.
Yes. Harry, have you, and you have
your own people as well; and they are
not likely to welcome the daughter Of
the county bookseller. Let me go home

face. Il am sure can help you. There
is that little girl you have been fooling
around for six months.
What about herr"
Il know all about her. She's a girl
in an Oxford street fancy shop; her sis
ter is employed at Regent street dress
makers. They are respectable girls,
which makes it the more dangerous.
I've given my-my word to that girl,
said Harry, but with an apprehensive
glance at his masterful father.
Il don't care what you have given her.
You've got to get rid Of her."
Il must keep my word. The son got
up and stood before his father with dog
ged face.
When two obstinate faces gaze upon
each other, one or the other has got to
give in; everybody knows that.
Il said, Harry, that you've got to get
rid of her. AS for your word, or any
other mess you may have got into, you
must get out of it the best way you can.
l suppose money will do it"
Il must marry her; will marry her!"
But there was weakening in his face
as his fathers look became more OBJ
stinate.
We'll, SIR said the older, Il am not
going at my time to give in to anybody.
My moneys my own, suppose, to do
what like with. Now, sir, here is my
offer-a partnership. great future, an
estate, a peeraee, the foundation of a
family-that is what offer you, on GER
tain conditions. If you refuse you can
go straight out of this Office and never
come back again. You shall have no
money-nOt brass cent. There's your
choice; take it. I'll give you an hour to
make up your mind-nO, 1 won't! I'll
give you haitian -hour-no, 1 won't give
you even a quarter of an hour. Damn
it all. sir, I'll give you five minutes
five minutes to choose. NOw!"
He took out his watch, one of those
great gold things which you can buy for
a hundred and twenty pounds or there
abouts, and held it in his hand. Harry
stood before him, the obstinacy gone
clean out of his face, pale and trem-
bling.
We'll, sir?" His father put back his
watch
Il accept the conditions" said the
son.

An Almost Extinct Work of Art.

When was youngster there was one al
most invariable work of art in every fami-
ly that had ever lost one or more members.
This was a picture made out of the hair of
the deceased The designs Of these grew
some memorials were always the same. A
man Or woman made of hair was repre-
scented at a grave made of hair under a
hairy weeping willow. Sometimes even
the sky and the distant landscape (Which
invariably included church and very
proper path leading straight to its door,
were also constructed of the same material.
At others they were imned upon the card
board with water colors. Watch guards
necklaces, earrings and brooches We're also
made of hair, and the business of contriv-
ing these devices must have been an active
one.
Decentralization of the mortuary photo
graph chrome sent the hair artist to the
wall, but the species is by no means ex-
tinct yet, ! met one the other evening
who was taking home the memorial of the
whole family of widow of wealth. He
told me that there were twenty odd people
represented in the material employed in
this masterwork. It was certainly melan-
choly enough to remind one of twenty fu-
nerals. tried to find out what such a feat
of genius was worth, but he declined to be
interviewed. He limited at hundreds of
dollars, but whether this meant what 1t
was worth in his estimation, or what he
was paid for it could not define. know

How Salmon Is Canned.

The salmon caught in the seines and
gill nets are brought to the cannery wharf,
counted and thrown into heaps. China
men are mostly employed for subsequent
operations. They take each fish, cut off
the head, tail and fins, remove the entrails
and throw the rest of the animal into big
tub. Next the fish is washed and placed
in a trough, where several knives, acting
after the manner of feed cutter, slice it
into sections exactly as long as the height
of can. These sections are set on end and
split into three pieces each-one piece large
enough to fill the can, while the others are
smaller. The fragments are then placed
on tables and the Cinnamon fit them into
cans and soldered
After being soldered the cans are put
into hot water and watched in order to see
if any bubbles rise, indicating leaks. Those
which endure this test successfully are
placed in an iron tank and boiled in salt
water. Salt water is used in preference to
fresh because it can be raised to a higher
temperature. After boiling for an hour
and q quarter each can is s'vented." This
means that a hole is punched in it's top to
permit the expanded air to escape. Then
the hole is soldered up, and the cooking is
finished by further boiling ii salt water
for an hour and q hall. # they were not
tsventedn this SECOND cooking would burst
the cans Finally each can is tested by
tapping it on the head with q big nail. II
leaky it will usually give back 'tinny"
sound.-Washingt Star.

A Chief Justices Gown

Unlike judges in most lower courts the
supreme court JUSTICES wear black gowns
that are much like the cassocks of church
choristers. Arrayed in these somber black
gowns. the justices, a row of seven or eight
very large and very learned men, present
an appearance Of official dignity that is
most striking.
The supreme court conYenes at 10
o'clock. One day Chief Justice Chase was
unable to find his robe. He searched every
part of the robing room, and even lighted
match to go deeper into his closet than
usual in search of the missing gown, be-
cause the day was dark and rainy one.
1t wanted but minute or two Of 10
when the chief justice, almost beside him
self with long searching, appealed to Ben
Wade, the famous rough and ready senator
from Ohio, who CHANGED to enter the room,
to help him find his lost gown.
Wade had just come in from out of
doors, and So thrusting his umbrella I'M
der one of the settees to see if the missing
garment was there, he fortunately fished
it out. Holding it at arm's length on the
end of his dripping umbrella he shouted,
hHere, Chase-here's your old shirt"
The learned chief justice reached bis
seat in the middle Of the row just as the
clock struck the last stroke Of IL, but the
spectator from the fropt would never have
guessed that the gown which clothed so
much dignity had been ten seconds before
dangling at the endof q very wet Una brella.

Aluminium as an Alloy with Iron.

One Of the new applications of alumin-
ium is to the refining of other metals by the
addition of small quantities of the first
named element. 1t has thus been rem
dered possible to obtain cast iron pieces Of
very superior quality. By the addition ot
aluminium nj the finely divided masses Of OK
Anfa3orably influence the solidity of the
casting, are reduced; the very light alum.
ina Stag is driven upward in the molten
metal and floats on the surface.
In view of the removal of the oxide Of
iron, the casting will result of more COM
pact nature, from the fact that the carbon
contained in the iron has ne eppeFtu.,nnity,
by uniting with the pxygen of Che oxide Of
iron, of forming earbonic acid, vesicules of
the gas of which are left behind In the iron,
leaving cavities. Copper castings are also
refined in this manner.-Currier's Maga-

The Heat of. the sun.

Sir William Thomson has calculated
that the quantity of fuel required for
each square yard Of the solar surface
would be no less than 1880 pounds of
GOAL per hour, equivalent to the work of a
steam engine of $1,000 horse power! This
enormous expenditure of-fuel would be
sufficient to melt thickness of about
forty feet of ice per minute at the SUMS
surface. Sir John Herschel says, s.sup
posing a cylinder Of ice forty-ive miles in
sun with the velocity Of light, and that the
water produced by it's fusion were continu-
ally carried off, the heat now given off
constantly by radiation would then be
wholly expended in it's liqpeefacsion, on the
one hand, SO as to leave no radiant sur
plus, while, on the other hand, the actual
temperature at it's surface would undergo
no diminution. "-Gentleman's Magazine

Remarkable Ideas of Beauty.

1t is remarkable to learn the extraordi-
nary ideas of female beauty which charac-
terize different nations. The ladies of
Arabia stain their fingers and toes red,
their eyebrows black and their lips blue
IN Persia they paint g black streak around
their eyes, and ornament their faces with
representations Of various figures.
The Japanese women adopt the singular
method of gliding their teeth, and those
of the Indians paint them red. In some
parts of India the pearl Of the tooth must
be dyed black before wgamsana can be beau
tiful. The Hpttentot women paint the en-
