While he had been speaking many voices
from without had been calling his name;
and as, at the same time, the horses could be
heard impatiently paving the gravel before
the entrance, Margaret rose, and moving
quickly toward the old-fashioned mirror that
hung above the chimney place, proceeded,
with very pardonable coquetry, TO adjust her
hat and tiny vail, letting the long skirt of
her amazone, which till then she had held
gathered in one hand, fall in graceful folds
about her slim figure. Never, thought !, as
/ watched her from my distant corner, had
seen my cousin look so exquisitely lovely
as did she then; and it was some such
sentiment as that, suppose, which caused
Saint Armand to catch her suddenly in his
arms-ah! the hat came to grief at that
and as he covered her hair and brow with
kisses, to pour out his love in words which
brought the tears into my foolish eyes-all
the more so that / knew 1 had no business
being there to hear them. Ah, well! No
one could begrudge them that brief moment
of happiness, for it was paid for by many
an after hour of pain.

THE CHUGWATERS.
The Old Man DIspenses Information on
Financial Questions.

"Josiab," inquired Mrs Chugwater, as she
poured the coffee, what does it mean when
the papers talk about the financial situation
being strained and the money market un.
settled, and all that sort of thing2"
1t means that there is an uneasy feeling
about securities" answered Mr.. Chugwater,
reaching for another biscuit.
"What does that meaB?"
"Why. stocks and bonds, and-um-specu-
lative values generally"
What makes them have an uneasy feel
ingf"
ITS the operators, you understand, the
fnanciers that have that. When there comes
a stringency in the money Market
"In the money market? Do they sell
money!"
"They sell securities, which is about the
same thing, only they fuctuate in value The
condition of the stock and bond market is an
index of the financial situation generally"
Il don't seem to understand it any better
than did BEFORE" said Mrs. Chugwater dnbi-
ously. "What is it that makes money scarce
sometmesf Does the Government quit making
it2"
"No. It's simply withheld from investment
in ordinary speculative channels It's with
drawn from circulation and boarded up Can
you understand thatP"
Yves. / suppose so. What does ANYBODY v
want to withdraw it from circulation for.
Josiahf"
Its all matter of public confidence. said
Josiah, becoming slightly impatient when
everybody has confidence in his fellow men
there's no stringency. It's this ridiculous habit
some people have" he went on, warming with
his subject, ''of getting scared abbut nothing
that makes panics Somebody has a little
money in bank. He begins to be afraid tho
bank isn't all right and he goes down town to
take it ont. He tells some friend on the way
down what he's going to do and that friend
tells somebody else, and it spreads, and the Fl rst
thing you know there's run on a perfectly
sound bank, and all because some gourd head
has lost confidence. And that reminds me-"
said Mr.. Chugwater. checking himsel hurriedly
and looking at his watch, THAT I've got about
5000 in old GumbliBgs bank that isn't any too
safe. Pm going right down town now, as quick
| as ] can get there, to draw every cent of it
out!"
And with nervous haste Mr.. Chugwater put
on his hat and overcoat, shot out through the
front door, aud half an hour later was walking
crafty back and forth the sidewalk in front
of old Gumbling's bank, waiting for the doors
to open.

WAITING FOR THE BUGLE.

In the pockets of Comrade J. E. Chaplin, one
of the victims of the Ford's Theater disaster,
were found a manuscript copy of the following
beautiful lines by Col. Theodore Wentworth
Higginson:
We wait for the bugle; the night-dews are cold,
The limbs OF the soldiers feel jaded and old.
The field Of our bivousc Is windy and bare,
There is lead in joints there is frost in hair
The future is vailed and its fortunes unknown
As we lie with hushed breath till the bugls Is
blown.
AT the sound of that bugle each comrsds shall
spring
Like an arrow released from the strain Of the
string;
The courage, the impulse of youth shall come back
To Danish the chill of the dresr bivouac,
And sorrows, and losses. and cares fade away
When that ife-giving signal proclaims the new day.
Though the bivouac Of age may pu. ioe In our
veins
And no fiber of steel in our sinew remains;
Though the comrades of yesterdays march not
here,
And the sunlight seems pale and the branches are
scar
Though the sound of our cheering dies down to .
moan,
We shall and our lost youth when the bugle is
blown.

pretty wrapper is pictured in the cut. The
back is close fitting with a box-pleat let in at
the waist-line to make the skirt aud short train
gracefully full. The pleat is set on with a
little heading. The under-arm pieces are
shaped and are cut in one piece from the top to
the hem of the skirt. The fronts hang in long
gathers from the throat to the floor. The
gathers are right in the middle of the front.
The outside dart of the front is taken up, but
the other is part of the fullness. The wrap.
per is made very long and is quite graceful.
The sleeves are full and finished with ruffle
at the wrist. There is pocket on the right
hip, just below the waist line. It is quite big
one and is stitched right on the outside. A
little turnover collar finishes the neck. The
wrapper is pretty made in the outing cloths.
One in pale bue-and- white had soft folded
sash of black satin coming from the under arm
seam and fastening over the full fronts holding
them in gracefully. Under the collar Is tied
a black tie to match the sash.

To keep flowers fresh, a part Of the stems
should be clipped off every day, and fresh water
should be given them at least once day.
Violets will freshen up if a drop of camphor be
put in the water. Pansies revive quickly after
having part of the stems cut away and being
put in fresh water. Roses ought never be
placed where their petals will touch the water,
although the stems should be deeply i'm
mersed.
The long marquise setting is a favorite enc
for rings, and blonde girls delight in a tur-
ouoise set after this fashion with diamonds all
around it. aud it makes wonderfully beautiful
combination.
Opals are favorites, too. The prejudice
against them is fast dying out.

value of the latter charm.
frenchy gown of dimity, white striped
with fine black, moss green and pale blue
lines, has the skirt trim med with two ruffies Of
ruche of narrow blue satin ribbon, and the
other with green to match the stripes. The
ruffles were set on the skirt in slightly waved
lines but as the wearer was tall and slender,
she could stand it. The waist has rufled bre-
telles and the sleeves ended in a narrow band
cuff. The belt is of black satin - we'll as the
high, straight collar.

An interesting experiment has been made to
discover what the average college student is
physically. One thousand men were measured.
The average measurements for the different
parts of the body were taken, and these proper
tions were given to a sculptor, who modelled a
figure according to them. The result is
strong, straight big-lunged man, graceful,
symmetrical, and in every way satisfactory,
comparing favorably with the average European
or even with the average Englishman. The
proportions resulting from a similar attempt
after measuring college girls were not so salts

fragile, without grace, weak-backed, and big
footed. Her waist measures "a inches. so that

Faber family have been in the pencil-manu-

that all the cedar-wood used in the manufact-

The cedar forests of Europe, he says. have long

less the wasteful destruction by American
manufacturers is stopped. all the good pencil
wood will have been exhausted in few years.

The Shot Process OF Drilling.

- In this method Of drilling through rock
steel shot are poured inside Of the drill
pipe, into a ring or channel made in the
rock by few revolutions of the pipe. The
pipe bears on this ring Of shot, and when
the pipe is revolyed it causes the shot to
revolve also and cut the channel in the
rock deeper. AS boring large holes through
hard rock by means of diamonds (Which
are now costing from three to four times
as much as they did few years ago) is
very expensive work, the new process OF
drilling by means of steel shot will, il Is
expected, be used in many cases instead Of
the diamond drill. Popular Science News
