But there was no response, and after
repeated searching and calling the lady
finally decided that her daughter must

occasion so near at hand.
Barbary, still stationed under the

Delphine heard it and ouaked with
fear, for Barbary never shifted without

sound. Even her mother WINGED be-

Mrs. Long whisked into the kitchen,
slamning the door after her. Barbary
turned toward Seth, who was listlessly
preparing food for sick COW, and
slowly, carefully opened her mouth.

Women play an important if not pre-
dominating part in the army of Russian
spies, all of them belonging to the so called
educated classes The way in which they
are recruited ia very simple and ingeniousi
the method was described to me once by
one of the pillars of the secret section,
and was confirmed later on by "a lady spy
with whom I had conversation en- the
subject.
An official dies (ninety- out of hun
dred educated Russians are. officials) before
he has served long enough to cntitle him to
pension. His young wife petitions the
ministry for an allowance, and she receives
a sum varying from 100 to 500 rubles.
After the lapse of some months she petit
tions again and is told to call at the police
Office, where about one-fifth of the former
sum is given to her, and she is encouraged
to hope that in two months time some
thing may be done for her again.
When she next returns she is informed
that as her husband did not earn pension
she cannot expect to receive any further as
sistance; that the authorities in fact possess
no funds for the purpose, but that they are
willing to give her little light employ
ment which will entitle her to monthly
allowance, sufficient to save her from So
cial shipwreck. She generally catches at
the straw, and seldom has leisure or calm
ness enough to discover that it is not even
straw, but golden chain that drags her
down to unfathomable depths. She is then
introduced into various families, visits the
semipublic balls and places of amusement,
and forwards regular reports to the third
section, and visits the department period
ically to answer questions and take fresh
orders. Philadelphia Times.

ception hall, sitting room, china room
closely connecting with the dining room
and kitchen; between the reception hall
and kitchen, the stair hall; one flue stack
connecting with three rooms and provid-
ing space for three CRATES. The plan is ap-
proximately square. 1t is compact, labor
saving and money saving. 1t saves money
in the first cost; It saves money In heating
and in the price Of help, and saves energy.
Most mothers with a growing family Of
boys and girls like to have II side hall. The
children come home from school, pour in
to the house, and if there is no other conven-
lent way they track through the reception
room, dropping things here and there in
great confusion. This plan provides for a
side entrance into the side hall, and, with
the row of hooks along the wall space, there
is an opportunity for the encouragement of
good habits, If there be u row of hooks low
down for the smaller ones and another one
higher up for the others.
The stairway lands in the center of this
house on the second floor. That means that
one may radiate from the stair landing,
and with the smallest amount of waste
energy reach any room on the second floor.
From the head OF the stairway one can go
into any one of four bedrooms or bath

1t is shown that there is landing nearly
at the top, whence one passes to the bed
room. Say that this was the girls room,
she could go directly from the kitchen
through the hall up stairs to her own room
without going into the main hall. On the
other hand, there is door from her room
into the hall proper, Furthermore, there. is
direct passage to the attic without going
into the center of the house on the second
floor
While in this plan there is only the one
stairway, at the same time there is a good
deal of independence about it, more than
is always provided where there are stair.
ways in the front and rear part of the house.
But with the stairs cut off on both floors
from the living and bedrooms there is no
great demand for two passages.

MOVING A 1eLEscoPe lENs.
a Delicate Undertaking That Requires
Many Cushions.


There was n very plain but very substan-
tial looking pine box. tied up with numer-
Gus coils Of rope and nailed tight at all
points, lying on the floor Of dingy and de
serted room nt the old naval observatory.
The observation slit in the revolving dome
had been closed, and the great tube OF the
big 26-inch equatorial telescope WAS swung
around and hung dejectedly alongside Of
its pedestal. The old skyscraping work
shop of the government had been closed UP
for good, and in the pine box on the floor
was all that was valuable OF the old tel
escope, the great 26-ineh lens, some 250
pounds OF quite ordinary looking glass,
valued at $4,000. Il was the last Of the Rp-
paratus Of the old observatory that was to
be carried up to the new station on the
heights above Georgetown, and there to be
fitted to a new tube that is being manufac-
tured in Cleveland.
The task Of removing the great lens to
the new observatory was one Of the most
delicate pieces Of work IN connection with
the transfer of the station. The glass was
packed in special case wedged into place
with folds Of soft paper placed at regular
intervals over its surface and allowing for

fitting box might pinch" the glass and
change the perfect image which it now
gives. This inner case was packed in the
outer heavy box with plenty of soft pack
ing in between the two and then loaded
carefully upon thick mattress In the bot
tom of spring wagon.
1t was tied in place with several ropes,
and rolls of packing were wedged between
the box and the edges of the seat, and then,
with three men sitting around it to prevent
any possible slip, the wagon started off at
funeral pace, which was maintained till
the precious case was fairly landed at the
new station on the hill.
The new mountings for the glass were
held back by the Homestead strike, and
will probably not be received for three
months more There will be some changes
in the mounting of the instrument, and the
terrestrial clock will be run by weights in
stead of water power, as has been the case
heretofore. This is one of the most impor-
tant parts of the telescope mechanism, as
by it the great glass is swung round at d
speed that just corresponds to the motion Of
the earth, keeping any particular point OF
the heavens constantly in the field, which
is necessary in making measurements and
for other purposes. Washington Post.

room. II the stairway were arranged in
the front hall, as is sometimes done, the
second story chamber would be measurably
destroyed; certainly it would not be u large
chamber. Then there would have to be a
passage from the front to the rear.
In nearly all conveniently arranged floor
plans one. will find the stairway landing
near the center of the house. It gives good
facilities for distribution. In this plan
there is only one stairway. On the other
hand, the stair hall is so located that one
can 60 from any room on the first floor to
this stairway and thence to the second and
attic without passing through any other
room on the first floor. From the kitchen
to the side hall one passes through two
doorways to reach the stair entrance. This
keeps the smell of cooking from the front
part of the house. but from the kitchen one
may go down cellar or through the side en-
trance to the outside This is kind of
universal passage. From the side entrance
one can go from any room on the first floor
or to the cellar. Another feature about
this stairway is that one can go from the
kitchen up the stairway and into the rear
bedroom without going into the main hall
in the front part of the house.

The stores Are on One Side.

The reason why stores on one side of a
business street in New York rent for more
than stores upon the other is this: Retail
shopping in this city is usually done after

prime requirements of retail trade. The
