 the labors not too arduous he would like
 to make application for the job.
 Sanitary plumbing can be seen at the new Institute of Hygiene at the University of Pennsylvania. Throughout the build ing the pipes have been left outside the walls, and each painted a distinctive color. Thus maroon pipe, wherever found, is a steam pipe, red always denotes hot water, blue stands for cold water, white means gas, and yellow shows drainage. This makes it possible to trace each system in all its branches and test it at will, from the cellar to the roof. About everything in the way of drainage devices now known is in the building. and anything put on the market will be given fair trial.
 Those who have been calculating on get ting Turkey cheap by and by are likely to be disappointed. The Imperial Ottoman bank, which stands as the representative of Turkish finances, on taking possession recently of a new and splendid building, gave the world some idea of the country's financial standing, from which it appears that the national debt is adequately pro- vided for, and that the governments in- come now equals its expenses. The de- velopment of Turkey has taken prodigious strides within few years, of which the ~e l. .l. country bears visible testimony.
 The time may come when agood surgeon will be able to make man just what the man is willing to pay to be made. Dr. Eugene Hsrdcastle of St. Paul says that in 1861 very dull fellow, "almost fool" entered the army. At Donelson he received buckshot in the head. It could not be found, the wound healed, and he returned to duty one of the bright est men in the regiment. After the war he prospered, became sheriff and was a considerable man in the community Gin Minnesota) in which he lived. Three years ago his head began to trouble him and he went to Dr. Hardcastle, who found and removed the shot. The man is now in sound physical condition, "but the same stupid dolt that he was before the fight at Fort Donelson."
 The Dutch want more land. A report has been submitted to the government of Holland on the draining of the Zuzdu Zee, a project long contemplated, as the sea is of no use for navigation and large terri tory of whst would be fertile land lies under it. The report favors a dam from the main land on either side to the island of Wiesinger. The water thus cut off from the sea would be divided into four parts, in each of which the work of draining would be carried out successively. The cost of constructing the dam is estimated at e3. .675, 900, and the draining would in- volve an expenditure of e13, 1000, ,00O. Such @ large sum would naturally be spread over a number of years, and the time which the work would occupy is put down at thirty-two years.

A Good Word for the Rachelors,


 Did 1t ever occur to you to note the number of gifts that have been made in this vicinity for public uses by men who are either bachelors or have no near rels- tivesi Oliver Smith, the chief of this class of public benefactors, was a bache- Tor. Austin Smith, whose money finally went to found Smith college, was a bach elor. His sister, whose name the college bears, was never married. Cooley Dick inson, the founder of Dickinson hospital, was a bachelor. Whiting Street, the founder of the Whiting Street charities in aid of the worthy poor, was bach elor. Samuel Wright had no children and left no wife. John Clarke, the founder of the John Clarke library, was without a family when he died. Judge Forbes, founder of the Forbes library, was a bachelor. Winthrop Hillyer, who established the Hillyer art gallery, was a bachelor. A. T. Lilly, who erected the Lilly hall of science, was without fsmi- ly when he died. George w. Hubbard left his large estate first to his invalid wife, then to the college and South-street home, having no children. This is the or der of things. The moneyed men who have no families give freely for public uses, while those who have families leave their riches to their posterity. This is the way it should be.

Ignorant of what had occurred in
Edith's room before her cry for help, l
paced my room, thinking how terrible
the fright must have been that made
her faint a second time, and despite
her belief in theunreality of these mys-
FERROUS appearances.
'Your turn will come" Van Hoeck
had said to me, and, these words COM
ing back to my mind, asked myself if
the repeated attacks upon Edith
might not be part of a complicated
scheme to obtain the diamond.

What happened in Edith's room
that night | did not learn until the
next morning; but will give her ac-
count in this place, in order to pre-
serve the sequence OF events.
True to her resolve, she had lett the
window open and the blind down, ex-
actly as on the preceding nights. 1t
was her habit to lock the door,
and, that she did not omit
to do so on this occa-
sion, she was convinced by the fact
that she had found some difficulty in
turning the key, and had afterward
tried the handle, to know if the bolt
was shot. She left the lamp burning
on the table screened from her by the
lace curtains of the bed. 1t was hall
past eleven when she lay down, and
she felt so little fear that she fell
asleep almost Immediately.
A pillow slipping from beneath her
head awoke her, she believed. Her
first consciousness was that her head
felt uncomiortably low. She put her
hand out to find if she had slipped to
the edge OF the bed; but no, her posi-.
ton was unchanged.
Then it struck her that she had left
a light on the table; it was now out,
and all was dark.
She wondered ii this was a trick OF
imagination. Was she awake or
asleep? She touched her eyes to be
sure they we're open. Then it occur.
ed to her that she might have been
asleep for long while. There was
nothing extraordinary in a lamp go.
ing out, or her head slipping from the
pillow. Saying this to herself, she
telt for the pillows.
To her astonishment, she found that
both were gone.
1t was droll. She felt inclined to
laugh, thinking how she must have
tossed about in her sleep to knock
both pillows out. But the bedclothes
were perfectly smooth, the bed on
each side of her even and soft and
yielding. That was strange!
II must have done all the tossing
with my head" she said to herself,
still tickled by the oddity of the thing
One thing was certain,-she could
not sleep in comfort with nothing but
a bolster under her head.
She leaned out, and felt upon the
floor as far as she could reach to the
right. The pillows had not slipped
out on that side. Then, putting he,
shoulder against the wall, she felt
