Is little likelihood of deception. while

ference indicated by the figures as prac-
tically due to the working of hcredity
alone.
Now, there is no apparent reason why
girls should rot inherit n tendency to
badness SIS well as boys, unless that
tendency is checked by some other fac

What a wonderful change has been
produced in all our habits by the ready
mea of obtaining light out of the
material formerly extracted from
human effete matter, and now from
old bones! Before its application to
matches it is calculated that every
man, oma and child spent ninety
hours yearly in getting light and fire,
or rather that they would have done
so if they had used such means as
freely as we do now. At present the
consumption of phosphorus matches
per head of the population amounts to
eight daily, and. IS each match con-
sunes fifteen seconds in its use. two
minutes are spent for the whole day,
or twelve hours for the year. If We
calculate the economy of time to h
population of the United States by this
simple invention, each person saves
seventy-eight hours early, or, say, ten
working days, which, represented in
labor cost at half a dollar per day for
the sixty-two millions OF the popula-
ton in the United States. gives an ag.
gregate economy Of .hree hundred and
ten million dollars ycarlH.-Aorta

you can take without danger. If

Then she sat down before the fire
and fell into silence. She WAS not in
sensible to the mates rial advantages Of
fered TO her In this letter from Mr..
Browne, wholesale dealer in CANNED
Foods and groceries. She loved ease
and beauty and luxury. She could use
them to the adorniag Of any position
that might be offered her. She was
tired of work and the continual strug-
gle for bread.
Fifteen years before she had
come to the city to join the
great company of women who
unexpectedly find themselves thrown
upon their own resources for a
living. A natural musician, she taught
and studied with such faithfulness as
soon gave her a place in musical cir
cles, and at last secured her a modestls
independent position. She had made

righteousness of the boarding house

she felt it to be q narrow and lonely

light housekeeping, and being of very
social nature often found her solitary
roll and coffee lacking in favor.

unexpected holiday. She read the last
magazines, practiced a new song, re-
trimmed her street bonnet. And then
she did something that every woman
knows to be a foolish and usually Il sor-
rowful thing to do. She took an old
fashioned box from the depths OF an old
trunk and looked over the treasures OF
her girlhood days, such tri 1kets n
trifcs as every girl has AMI cherishes.
Over her desk, right in plain sight, she
had only a few days before pinned up
a scrap from a newspaper. Emerson
advice to. his daughter: Finish every
day and be done with it For
and for wise living it
is a vice to remember etc.
Then with a serene Inconsistency
she went back to the dead days; to the
days when she was Il happy girl in her
fathers house, when life bad no
anxious cares, when Walter Sherman
was her lover. She went so far as to
read over the tender missives received
from him during the boy and girl period
of their acquaintance. The dainty al
fairs all flowers and paper lace, with
hearts transfixed by cruel arrows, on
which he assured her of his deathless
devotion and of his fixed and unaltera-
BILE intention to be her valentine. Then
the small! package of letters after he
had left the little towu-then the one
in which he had formally asked her to
marry him. 1t, too, reached her on
Valentines day, as he mean it should.
She read it over. How full of truth
and manliness the words seemed. She
blushed, remembering her frank and
fond to the letter. She re-
membered that she had written as
one who felt the dignity and the
Joy Of loving. And from that
day to this, more than sixteen years.
no word or sign had come from him.
Then she grew indignant and angry,
and, putting all the keepsakes back in
the box, closed it with a snap and con-
| signed it once more to the depths of
the trunk. Some day h would de-
stroy it altogether.
Then she made a careful street tot
let, and went put for her dinner. On
the way she met little Joe, the news
boo who brought her morning paper
and who did small errands for her and
the other occupants of the Aberdeen
and invited him to take dinner with
her.
To be sure when she asked him if he
| had been to dinner he said that he had,
but that didn't cut no figger; he was
mostly alters hungry anyway"
He verified his statement; no hostess
could wish for a more appreciative
guest.
Twohourslater. as Alice, bra We in a car
dinal tea gown, sat in the rosy glow that
the flames of the gas log were dutifully
trying to throw about her, there came
a vigorous ring at her door. 1t flashed
across Ter mind that possibly Mr..
Browne was going to forestall the post
man and know his fate by word OF
mouth. This possible impatience &C
centuated the no that she intended to
bestow upon that gentleman.
, Turning on the gas, and giving a
quick glance at the mirror, she opened
wide the door.
1t certainly was not Mr.. Browne WHIT

and rotund, ford also.
This man was tall, of fine proper
