never set myself up as saint. No one
ever called Celeste Bougereaux a saint"
She laughed aloud with malicious
glee.
mo one will ever be tempted to call
you one until you look little more
like one than you do at this moment,
Celeste. Who is it that you call sly and
underhand?'
1t was distinctly her duty to make
this woman either speak more plainly
or else hold her peace entirely. She
was not prepared for Celeste's triumph
antly prompt reply:
''Miss Fairbanks-the beautiful, saint
" Miss Fairbanks, who sacrifices her
self for her recluse of father and yet
consents to meet her lover clandestinely
in the woods. Bah! tits only saints who
can afford to run such risks"
Nora had grown white to the very
lips. She abhorred herself almost as
greatly as she did the yellow-slkinned,
glittering- grinning wretch in front
of her for her own next words:
''I want to know exactly what you
mean, Celeste, and all that you mean"
"With pleasure, madame. was so
careless not to notice, until had got
nearly to the front gate of Glenburnie,
that the child had lost one of her tur-
quois shoulder bracelets. l left her
among the flowers in the garden, while
ran back to the house for it. The pill
lars to that front veranda are miracles
of bigness, madame. Mise Fairbanks
must not have seen my approach. She
was looking down upon the old man
who sells her flowers. He stood upon
the ground. heard her say, very dis
tinctly, but in a voice that was not
quite steady: Tell him yes-Iwill come
this once And the old man answered
back: Dry bayou, remember, missy,
five o'clock Dry bayou-f1ve o'clock.
1 will be there, Cato, tell Mr.. -
Then, madame, Miss Fairbanks saw me,
and her face, the pure white face Of a
saint, became redder than those roses
she gave the child. That is exactly
what I mean, madame, and all that 1
mean"
Celeste, you are devil
"And Miss Fairbanks is saint. That
is as 1 have already said-come, Ninette,
it is time you took your bath. I must
wash the dust of Glenburnie from your
feet, or you too may grow up to be a
saint"
She disappeared, dragging the re-
luctant Ninette with her. Nora sat
quite still, enveloped in all the pain
and the powerlessness of a hideous
nightmare.
In that nightmare trance she saw, dis
connectedly, a beautiful woman sitting
by the roadside, withered black hand
extending white envelope towards her
husband, Johns hurried and unusual
afternoon departure, Celeste's mocliing
face and malicious Gossip.
"What then?" she asked, vehemently
aloud.
After long silence she answered he1
own question:
''It would be nothing more than de

ABSORPTION AND REFLECTION.
No Matter What Color the Water the
Foam VIII Be White.

No Matter What Color the Water the
Foam VIII Be White.
No one can have failed to notice that
the foam along the shore of the sea or
lake is white. No matter how deep
the blue of the water may be there is
the same whiteness of the froth at its
edge. For that matter all foam is
white, says the Churchman. If the
blacklist ink In the world is beaten
into foam the foam will be as white as
the froth of milk. The reason for this
is that we see all objects by reflected
light. If they reflect all the rays they
appear white; if they absorb all the
rays they seem to be black. The ink
absorbs all the light and is black
When it is beaten into froth the little
bubbles reflect all the light from their
surfaces-for their extreme thinness
makes them nothing but surface-and
thus they are white. For the same
reason any colored stone shows white
when it has been ground to powder.
Take the blacklist marble and reduce
it to small grains, and these will ap-
pear white, beca Sc their surfaces now
reflect all the light. If the polished
surface of the same marble be only a

point, the effect will be light>colored
streak.
One of the ways of testing stones
and minerals is to observe the color of
the streak as compared with the
natural surface. If one watches the
water falling over the rock at Niagara
he may see it of an emerald green
near the upper part of the fall. Much
the same effect is produced when
pillows are just curving into breakers
on the beach directly in front of us. A
similar tint is seen in blocks of thick
ice. The absorption and reflection OF
light are the same under all those con-
ditions. Again, tho froth at the foot
of the fall and that at the edge of the
sea is all of it equally white. So, too
if we pound the ice into small parti'
cles, they will be as white as the
foam The same point is illustrated
in the appearance of the tiny particles
of dew on the spiders web as com
pared with the larger drops suspended
from the tips of blades of grass. AL
| the more strikingly is the difference
seen if the cold has converted dew and
water into frost and ice. The frost
| sparl1les from the innumerable faces o.
| it's crystals, while the ice shows a uni
forr1ly shining surface. Frost an6
snow are white because of the small.
ness of their particles and the great
number of their rejecting surfaces

PEACE IN HONDURAS.
The Revolution ut an End, but War
With Nicaragua Imminent.


New York, April 26.--News has
just been received here from Pan a
ma, which indicates that the revo-
Iution in Honduras is at AN end and
that peace has been restored. President
Ponciano Leiva has invested General
Domingo Vasquez. Minister of War witn
the powers usually exercised by the eXecu
tive. Gen. Vasquez is really President o.
Honduras.
AS result of the assistance given by
Nicaragua to the revolutionary leader.
Policorpo Bonilla, war may be declared be-
tween that Republic and honduras at any
moment
General Luis Bo gran will probably be
appointed Minister of War Under Gen.
Bogran's administration Gen. Vasquez was
sent out of Honduras during the Presidents
visit to the United States. When Leiya
succeeded Bogran as Chief Executive. he re-
called Vasquez and made him Minister Of
War.
1t now appears that the difference be-
tween Vasquez and Bogran was patched
up by the relInquishment of the presidency
by Leiva in favor of Vasquez. General
Bogran, being Minister of War, however,
will virtually be president. Together
Vasquez and Bogran, will be able to defeat
Nicaragua.

Messrs. Hodson and Attorney-Gen-
