from her sisters, who did not like your
her friend. just forget all about it,
| Gertie."
Gertie was weeping as If her heart
| would break, but as he finished speak
ing she handed him her ring without
looking up.
What is that for?" asked Richard,
aghast. II did not mean TO hurt you;
surely, you are not going to punish me
like that when ! offended so uninten-
tionally?"
No" sobbed Gertrude, sit isn't that
ouly shouldn't think you would want
to marry the daughter of such a
mother"
Richard laughed, as he took the ring
and placed 1t on Gertrudes finger
again.
"What silly child you are!" he said
fondly. 'It wouldn't make any differ
ence to me IL every relative you had
was in the penitentiary. You would
not be responsible for their SINS Be
sides, l suppose your mother thought
she had every right to try and win your
father. He was not engaged to my
aunt, you know, and, they say, all is
fair in love and war. So think no more
about it--and we will never mention it
again"
Gertrude never did mention it again,
but she thought about it many times;
and when MIR. Foster brought his wife
home, he found everything arranged to
his liking.
He had said to her: 'The boys will
be all right, and if Gertrude does not
treat you wefl let me know"
'Never, Jamcs," replied Mrs Foster,
"for you might be tempted to tell her
the history OF the years that are gone,
and children should reverence their
mothers memory, which doubt If she
could do, knowing all.
But there was no trouble. Gertrude
treated her stepmother with the utmost
respect and courtesy, and behaved in
such way that Mrs. Foster actually
dreaded the girls wedding day.
As she watched the carsage that con-
tanned her nephew and his bride drive
down the maple avenue, now re-
splendent in it's autnmnal coloring, she
siQhed-then turned toward her hus-
band, who was standing near. 81

One OF the curiosities Of reflected

angle between the reflected rays and
the normal equal to that between the
incident rays and the normal. In con-
sequence of this law, when the rays Of

are reflected from a curved surface the
intersections of the reflected rays take

The "Ear of Dionysius, -

A cunningly constructed prison
cavern, consisting of a large chamber
connected with one of smaller dimen.
sions, situated near Syracuse, italy,
has gone into legendary history with
the title of the Ear of Dionysius. g
The smaller chamber was unknown to
the prisoners kept In this underground
dungeon, and the tyrant by whose
name 1t is known had habit
OF secreting hinse.t there to
listen to the conversation of the con-
victs, who were mostly political Of
tenders. An ingenious device con-
structed at the smaller end of the
larger chamber transmitted the sounds
through the partition, thus enabling
the suspicious ruler to hear even the
whispered conversations of his ''sus.
poets. IN, Y. Sun.

Racks for Books.

A set OF choice books not kept in the
regular case often becomes so broken
backed by falling from the upright
when placed on'a ta bic, that small racks
OF wood with room for half dozen
or more volumes have been devised.
These racks have two upright parts
shaped like a frame, and slide at the
bottom that regulates the width. They
are most often OF oak, and some of them
have ornamental silver mountings as
the corners. The same convenience
hns been made by covering small
frames OF wood or heavy cardboard
with brocade or leather. They ar0
then ornamented with the needle or

IT WON'T DO. GIRLS.

Two.thirds Of the stenographers and
type writers in the country are women.
They are quicker and better manipu-
lators with The type writing machine
than men and more tractable office
assistants. They are in every way
capable Of earning and getting Just as
much money as man. But a writer
in the New York Herald says that
the average wages to women i'm this
occupation in New York is $ll week,
while men stenographers and type
writers average $li week, and the
fattest places are almost without ex.
ception filed by men.
The reason is that the girls are not
ambitious to excel or to strive for the
highest pla ,es. They think more of
marrying and escaping work alto
gether than of perrecting themselves
in their trade. This is unfortunate
if true. The poorest possible reason
girl can have for marrying is that she
may escape work. Where she does
this, in nine cases out of ten, she will
be disappointed aud many a time wish
herself back clicking at the old
machine aud earning her own money
and spending it as she peases,
Then too, the conditions of life are
growing constantly harder, With the
best intentions not all married smen
can support their families as they
wish. Ten dollars is necessary to
maintain "a respectable appearance
where s. used to be sufficient, 1t is
far better to remain single and strive
forand win the highest place and get
So 600 or 50 500 year than to marry
for support and be miserably disap-
pointed. Then, too, remember this ::
If you have any work to do, it is a
sin not to do that work the best it can
be done.

Would you rather buy lamp

LABOR and capital all over the world
which will watch with great interest
an interesting experiment now being
tried in England. The proprietors Of
the Stafford Iron works, at Manchester,
are making the work time in their
establishment forty.eight hours a
week instead of fifty-three, as hereto
fore, and without any reduction in
wages. The forty-eight hours lare OBJ
tanned by five days of eight and three
quarter hours each, and by one day
Saturday of four and one-quarter
hours. The day is shortened at the
beginning so that the men begin work
at 7:45 and have ample time for break
fast at home with their families. The
manufacturers promise to give the
plan fair trial. If at the end of one
year the plans prove unsuccessful
from a pecuniary point of view the
manufacturers will hold themselves
free to revert to the old system. They
hope, however, to avoid loss by the
greater energy, care and promptness of
their workmen. Ths advocates of an
eight-hour day everywhere must ad-
NIT that, theoretically, the test is a
fair one, and they ought to be willing
to abide the result.

THE elections for county, city and
borough school superintendents which
have taken place throughout the state
during last week have, as a rule,
resulted in the retention of the old in
cumbents. Fully 80 per cent. of the
latter have been reelected. AS a rule
merit has had more influence than
politics, and in counties in which ad.
herents of the minority party have
filled the position acceptably re-
election has followed. 1t is certainly
a cause for congratulation that the
general result has been as above speci-
fed. When a good man is once chosen
for superintendent he should not be
supplanted for any cause except lack
of ability or inattention to his duties.
It is not for the interests of the schools
to have a change in the system of in
struction every three years. On the
contrary, it is desirable that it shall be
substantially the same, with such
gradual improvement as live super
intendent would make throughout as
long a period as possible. That there
is a general recognition of this fact, as
we'll as a proper appreciation of faith
fuland intelligent service, is evidenced
by the result Of these elections.
