she was like a panther ready TO spring.
Lawrence did not remember ever seeing
the woman before IN the house, but she
was dressed as maid and laughing to
himself for his strange fancies. he sprang
up the stairs. She was very likely one OF
the servants attracted by the music which
had for one moment cnthralled Lawrence.
He broke the spell and went to his room.
He didn't stay there very long for it made
im uneasy to think of Gladys down there
with those people, and besides he wanted
chance TO speak to her on the subject
uppermost in his mind.
He lighted cigarette. and holding IL In
lis hand again went down stairs. The
woman in the hall was gone and in the
room there was silence. He turned
toward II and then paused. He fcIt that
his hand was shaking and that he could
ear the beating OF his heart tumultuous-
". He leaned against the banisters with
his side against the rail. and every time
MS heart beat he could feel the motion in
the slight yielding OF his body. Now that
the time for him to put it TO the test had
come, he felt weak, and yielded to the
temptation to go out of doors and smoke
for few moments. He wondered IL that
feeling Of weakness was a common falling
Of levers. and he wondered II he really
was in love or whether he had been play
ing with edged tools and had been cut. II
she loved him, all we'll and good, IL she
didn't, then il was England and tho con-

gone six months; then he would return
and IL necessary meet Gladys day after
day In society and no ono would dream
that there had been anything between
them, and il such thing had been sus-
pected no one would think IL serious.
He sank into a low chair on the piazza
and elevated his feet on the rail- 1t was
very quiet except for the singing OF the
crickets by the hodge and the occasional
cry from dog or some animal In the dis
tance. Then Lawrence heard voice and
a crunching OF gravel on the walk. He
saw figure Of a woman step from side
door and saw a man come from behind a
bit of shrubbery They did not know it,
but a light from window streamed full
upon them, and Lawrence saw Davaris.
the weird violinist. and the woman who
had been crouching at the door.

THE BABY.
Some Very Useful Information About
the Wee Mites.

A baby is born at every beat of the hu-
man heart. That is more than one for
every tick of the clock. These "living
jewels" Gas the poets calls babies)
"dropped unstained from heaven" take
wings and fly back whence they came one
for every minute of the day. From Janu-
airy to December 81 between 3S,000, ,00J
and 100000 living jewels are dropped
into this cold world.
There are more baby girls than boy
babies. The proportion of female births
to male births is as 100 to 80. So that be-
tween 100000 and 5000, 900 more girls are
born in the world each year than boys,
There is always surplus OF women, and
the extra number OF girl babies keeps UP
the supply. The rate of infant mortality
is enormous. In round numbers, 5000 900
babies never live long enough TO talk
5000, 900 more never have a chance to walk
or run, and 5000, 900 more never get old
enough to go to school.-Baby.

The TnIlow Tree.

The tallow tree is a tree reaching
forty feet in height, the seeds of whose
flowers are covered with something re-
sembling tallow, which rises to the top
when the seeds are thrown into boiling
water, and, being skinned of and pressed,
makes hard cake of tallow, from which
excellent candles are manufactured and
which can be used in various salves and
ointments. The tree producing this
really valuable substance is a native OF
China, but now is to be found all along
our southeast seacoast.

Kerosene for Removing Paint.

Never use turpentine to take the paint
of your hands but always use kerosene.
Turpentine roughens the hands exces-
slvely, she continued, but kerosene, on
the contrary, keeps them beautifully soft

should always keep a small keg OF

Work of the Rain Makers.

WASHINGTON, November 2.-For sew
eral weeks nervous people in Washing
ton have been shocked and startled by a
series of heavy explosions that occur at
irregular intervals, rafting windows and
shaking houses to their very foundation.
These noises are the work of the rain
makers across the river at Fort Myer,
and the fact that thoy are go audible at
that distance is an indication of the
tremendous strength Of the explosive
used.
The experiments are being conducted
by the agricultural department, and just
at present the object is not to affect q
rainfall in the vicinity but to determine
upon the merits Of certain new explo-
sive, which will be used for that purpose
in the future. The explosives used in
the celebrated Texas experiments wore
unobjectionable except in one res
pect and that was their very high cost,
Two of the new explosives that are be-
Ing tested promise we'll. One is Rosoll-
ite, powder resembling in appearance
moist brown sugar and smelling like
fresh concrete. It is the invention Of DR..
Roselle, and is made by mixing one part
to seven of chlorate Of potash and aspla,-
tum oil. It is one Of the safest known
high explosives to hardle, and cen be
exploded only by r,eans Of a detonating
fuse. It ranks above dynamite, end is
cheap. The other explosive is intended
to take the place Of the rathor expensive
oxygen-hydrogen balloon. It is vast
paper bag, thirty feet long and five feot
In diameter, filled with carburetted va.
por, which explodes with enormous
energy, and is likewise cheap Of prepara-
ton.
The party across the river has practi-
oally satisfied itself Of the value OF the
new compounds and is about to break
camp and leave early next week for Sa1
Antonio, Tex, where attempts on q GIL
gantic scale are to be made to ehar rain
out Of the clouds on the dry TeAas
prairies.

The erection Of monuments in NOM
ory of military heroes is as much Of q
craze in France as it ever was. The Ia
test man to be thus honored is Andre.
He it was who distinguished himself at
the bridge Of Arcola. Bonaparte hesita'
ted to storm the bridge in the face of q
hot and steady fire from the Austrians
on the opposite side of the river. Andre,
a young bugler, lesped into the water,
swan to the other bank, rushed into the
enemy's ranks and began blowing his
bugle. The Austrians were so surprised
and excited that for moment they be-
lieVed themselves surrounded, and TAX
ing instant advantage Of their situation
tured it. The intrepid young bugler
seems en- titled to monument.

Millions Of Spindlcs Idle.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-The lockout Of
cotton spinners began to-day in South
Lancashire. No disorder attended the
beginning of what may prove to be one OF
the greatest strikes that England has
seen. The lockout is the result of o de-
termination on the part of the master
cotton spinners to reduce wages five per
cent.
The Federation of Master Spinners AS
sociation is very powerful body. 1t is
sort of trade union of masters. II controls
very nearly %, 900, 900 spindles, including
nearly all those employed in spinning
the commonly used sizes OF yarns. 1ndl-
rectly the federation influences millions
of other spindles, and the spinners OF the
fine Egyptian cotton in the Bolton mills
agreed to stop their machinery in order
to throw their weight on the side OF tho
oldham and Staly bridge masters. Hence,
although the owners Of only $4,000 spin
dies actually voted their determination
to insist on the per cent. reduction, the
resolution was moro far reaching, and 80
far as the actual members OF the fedora
ton are concerned, it is positively bind
ing on the minority, except for such or
them as may be content to pay into the
common fund the SUM of i'd. per week
for every spindle they keep running.
The interests involved are tremendous.
Centered almost exclusively in South
Lancashire, the huge interest at stake Q
are little understood save by statistlcians
and trade experts. A few figures, how
ever, will suffice to show how important
part cotton plays in British national
economy. To begin with, fibre OF the
value of between thirty and forty million
of pounds annually is purchased from
abroad. This is passed through a huge
variety of processes by work people, who
receive one-eight of the total wages paid
in the whole country.
At a meeting Of the Operative Spinners
Society to-day, the secretary reported
that So, 900 spinners were out.

Politics at a Negro Ball.

AUGUSTA, GA, November 6.-Five ne
groes were shot at ball last night, but
only one is likely to die from his wounds.
The affrey occurred at dance on Charles
Burcke's plantation. six miles from Au-
gusta. A gang Of Third Party negroes
went to ball with the avowed intention
to raise row. When thay got there
they began to curse the Democratic ne
groes, who stood the insults for long
while, until they saw fight could not
be avoided, and then clubs and sticks
were freely used. Richard Beall, g. Dem
ocratic negro, who works on DR.. Neil
McInnes's farm, was shot with 32-cali-
bre ball in the left side near the heart
and it is apprehended he cannot recover.
Before Beall fell he turned upon his ag-
gressor, Jim Randolph, and shot at him
three times and each ball took effect.
Aleck Andrews, who works on Col.
Schley's plantation, was shot with a
buckshot in the left shoulder, and the
shot lodged In his back. Andrews, to get
even, shot Horny Goddard, who shot Ed
williams. Andrews and Beall were
brought to Augusta and carried to the
hospital. The other three negroes ran
off and are hiding out in the swamp.

Bags Superseds Barrels.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2.-The Sugar
Trust has contracted for 5000, 900 bags to
take the place Of barrels for the shipment
OF refined sugar. The bags will he de-
llvered in New York, New Orleans and
Boston as well as in Philadelphia. This
is by far the greatest bag contract ever
made In the United States. The trusts
reason for the change from barrels to
bags is that bag costs and weighs con-
siderably less than it's old-time competi-
tor. The barrels successor is burlap
bag with light muslin bag inside, and
it's weight is only pound and half,
while that of the barrel is twenty-three
pounds. Thus the difference in freight
alone for carrying refined sugar to its
destination would pay several times over
for the bag. This is the worst blow the
local cooper industry has ever expert
enced and almost wipes out that business
in Philadelphia. Flour now goes to Eu-
rope in bags and is retailed in the same
way. Sugars brought here from the
West Indies and Hamburg come exclu-
sively in bags, which after being cleaned
are used up fol- paper stock. Tho
Spreckleses wera tho first to introduce
the bag business il the East. The trust
saw rhe advantage at once and took i'm
mediate steps to have its output shipped
In a cheaper way as soon as it gained
control of the renfneries.

Six Years More.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Prof A. A. L.
Totem has made calculation as to the
meaning implied by the 2,300 days mem
toned by the Prophet Daniel, taken in
consideration with the eclipse to-day, and
predicts the speedy dissolution of this
earth, as outlined in the Old Testament.
He says:
'sThe final seven years Of the Times Of
the Gentiles' referred to by Daniel the
prophet began no March 20, 1892.
just previous to that date q. g., on Feb
ruary 5, 1922 I called attention to the
wonderful sign then in. the sky, and
explained clearly how it wrote the very
name Of Jehovah upon the walls of
heaven, agreeably to the Jewish year in
question, 5651.
Prot. Totten refers to the eclipses of
October 20 and Novemb Der 4 as being es-
pecially significant in the ful6lment of
prophecy, and says that the worlds final
period begins 220 days after the conclu-
sion of Daniels "week of years."
March % was the 89th day of this cur
rent year; therefore Novem Der 4th is the
3O9th day, whence they are exactly 22O
days apart, and therefore the final $500
of the "Time Of the end" begins with the
total eclipse Of November 4, 1892, and
consequently the signs in the heavens
indicate the final destruction of the earth
in period of little under six years.
