When the appointed evening arrived
Mr.. Barlow was announced. Lillys was
the first to welcome him, and as Barlow
grasped her hand In greeting he held 1t
firmly, and as their eyes met a mutual
understanding seemed to have grown
between them.
LET us abolish all formalities, Miss
Forsythe," said he, seeing that they
were alone; before leave you again

my letter in Wilhelm which / asked
you to become my wifey''

ling lips, as bright crimson colored her
cheeks. Il do not understand!'

hope lit his beautiful gray eyes, that
you never received it?'
II know nothing about such letter."
said Lillys, almost inaudibly, for her
heart was beating violently.
For a moment all vas still. Herbert
Barlow eagerly scanned the girls face
"a terrible feeling Of doubt crept over
him-had she ignored the letter? The
thought was suffocating him. He burst
out:
Miss Forsythe- -Lillys-tell me why
you never answered it,
MIR. Barlow" as she looked him in
the face, Il never received such a let
ter from yOu-I-"'
Then, may ask you right here-will
you be my wife"'
YES" was the simple answer, which
came from the very depths of the girls
heart, and came gladly
But" she said suddenly, what will

Barlow laughed. Married a month
ago to Kenneth Crayton, you foolish lit
tie woman" and he sealed her mouth
with kiss.
The proposal to be sure, was laconic
enough but that was characteristic of
the man-the love-making followed and
continued indefinitely Soon after a
quiet wedding took place in London
Herbert would have it so-and their
wedding journey took them back to
their American home.
But the mystery of the important let
ter was never solved-who would have
dreamed of suspecting four-year-old
Teddy or of searching for 1t IN the
depths of an old closet?

A bicycle Plating Dynamo.

An ingenious dynamo has been in
vented for the purpose of facilitating
the work Of jewelers., bicyclers and stu
dents in plating, and experimenters and
small platers will find it equally useful.
The, dynamo is regular machine Of
high efficiency. It is cast on an iron
pedestal, with an arm extending for the
support Of the saddle and hubs in
which the main bearing runs. The ma
chine has regulation bicycle saddle,
with spring adjustments and an ajusta-
BILE saddle-post, and either child or the
tallest man can, after mounting the sad
die. operate the machine by working
the pedals after the manner Of the or
dinary cycle 1t can also be run by q
belt connected direct to small arma-
ture pulley, IL desired. The buf1ing ma
chine has taper holes chucked into both
ends Of the shaft Of the armature. In
fact, the machine Is not only a dynamo,
but also bufing lathe, combining the
two machines required for plating. 1T
fl stated that by theallse OF this dynamo
dozen knives and forks can be plated
with d triple coating of silver IN twenty

Controlling the supply of Current.

S'htroAAhS tne supply OF Current.
When small electric currents ara
wanted 1t has been customary to OH
tain them from a special source. For
instance, to operate a fan-motor. i
sewing machine, an electro-medical an
paratus, or any other device Of like ma
ture, the primary battery or storage bat
terry has usually been called into reoui-
sition. Such batteries serve their p,,r-
pose well enough, but the trouble Of,
keeping them in order is often very irk-
some, and prevent t heir coming into
general use. When, however, unlimited
current can be obtained by the turning
on OF switch, and controlled as ah-
solutely as in the supply Of gas in our
houses, the way is paved for the ap-
plication OF electricity to many purposes
without trouble or anxiety. "A simple
device has been brought out, called
the current adapter,s which enables
this absolute control to be had. It
works quickly and accurately, and en-
ables the street currents to be used iii
the smallest units, In other. words, that
the operator may mscrew one of the
1ncandescent lamps and make the con-
nection between the current adapter
and the house supply, and at the same
time be able to turn ON just as small
9 Quantity OF current as he may require
Tor any given purpose. This device thus
enables the incandescent light currens
TO be used Tor the operation Of electro
medical apparatuses, electric motors,
fans, dental and sewing machines, fara-
die induction coils, electric bells, small
lamps, etc. BY the employment of the
adapter in connection with q special
system Of electro-medical apparat atus

Solvent for Gutta Perch,, and In
tlia Rubber.

dia Rubber.
The demand for both gutta percha
and India rubber is extensive and in
creasing yearly, owing in large meas
ure to Developments in telegraphy and
electric engineering, besides many uses
which are being found for them in
minor industries. The present supply
Of gutta percha is not sufficient to meet
the demand, and it is believed that un-
less steps are soon taken to preserve the
sources of supply there will be an
actual dearth Of the commodity. This
has had the effect of raising it's value
in the market, and while in 1860 the
price of the best quality of refined gutta
percha was $1,000, by 1889 it had ad-
vanced to $1,000 per ton. An attempt
has been made to economise this useful
material by combining it with rubber,
which is a much cheaper article, vary
ing as it does in price from $3.50 to
$1,000 per ton. In new invention the
two materials are blended by a cheap
process, both being partially dissolved
and afterward intimately mixed. The
main feature of the invention is the en-
ployment Of substance hitherto little
known or understood, but which ex-
hibits singular properties. This SUBJ
stance acts as a solvent both on gutta
percha and rubber, and combines with
them in such a way as to form united
and homogeneous mass, which pos
sesses the qualities Of the best gutta
percha, while being superior to it in
Lon-oxidizing properties, elastic, tensile
strength and insulating power, besides
being produced at much smaller cost.

Story of n Prince, u d1onE-Tnllei
Coat and u .Chicags MatrOn.
Here is a new story about Prince
Engalitcheff, the handsome Russian,
VINO, being at all hours Of the day one
of the best groomed young men in all
Chicago, is always a welcome guest at
the big palaces along the avenues.
In the matter of dress the prince is
sort of fashion plate that the young
men of the town delight to copy, and
it is in connection with his very faith
full following of the sartorial fashions
that this rather amusing story is told:
Attired in one of the very long frock
coats coming down almost to ones
ankles and that now constitute Ne
proper caper" for young men OF fash
ion in the afternoon, the prince called
the other day at very swell Michigan
avenue mansion, the chief ornament of
which is a young lady, who, while she
more than once has been reported en-
gagged to be married within the last
Nkr, still lends hope to her host of
adorers by refraining from an actual
dip into the matrimonial sea.
The prince entered and was warmly
welcomed by the young lady and her
mamma. The latter, after minute or
two, asked cordially: MY dear prince,
won't you take off your coat?"
Much too we'll bred to express sur
prise, the prince merely declined the
invitation, and the conversation pro-
ceeded.
Presently the elder lady, oblivious Of
the mods and winks sent in her direc-
ton by her charming daughter, re-
peated the invitations: 'Prince, you
must be frightfully warm with that
heavy coat on. Pray remove it; you
will be so much more comfortable"
The prince looked just the least bit
embarrassed as hes replied: Excuse
me, my dear madame, but if you please
I will r-r-retGin it,"
1t was not until the noble caller had
left the house that the daughter ex-
planned to her doting parent that the
prince had not worn an overcoat.-Chi.

time a force of men ever ready to re-
spond to demands from the outside.
Aside from the superintendent of the
stations the force consists entirely of
volunteers, men whose heart is in the
work and who find satisfaction in re-
lieving suffering humanity. An excep-
tion, however, to many volunteer organ
izations, this one is so thoroughly and
admirably under control that the par
ticipants are always at their posts when
required. The different watches, those
for day and night duty respectively,
relieve each other with the greatest

Objects OF the Congress-.
The object for which the congress
just concluding its labors was called
was to hear reports from the various
branches of the society established in
the cities and continental countries, con-
slider suggestions for advancement and
for the perfection of the service from
those whose experience in direct con-
tact with the needs Of the public quali-
fled them to speak, exchange views on
the practicability of certain new sani-
tary or medical appliances and devise
ways and means to cope with the direct
and indirect opposition met with in GER
tain labor centers, especially in the
mining districts, where it was found
that only too often an anarchistic spirit
predominates, which, for selfish motives
that seemed hardly credible as existing
toward one writhing in the agony of a
painful wound, the labors Of the society
have been interfered with or in some
cases entirley frustrated.
Shows that ni tSe csse:
accidents demanding attention of the
tions, according to the locality Of their
occurrence. In large cities the leading
causes are: Being run over by cars and
wagons, falls in buildings in the course
OF construction, at fires and unforeseen
accidents In stores and mechanic shops:
furthermore as the consequence of ex-
cesses in drink, inattention in handling
electric wires, etc. In smaller towns
and mining districts the principal causes
Of injury to life and limb are explosions,
falls from great heights, etc, and in the
agricultural districts railroad collisions,
floods, lightning and accidents caused
by vicious animals.
According to the rules laid down by
Prot. ven Esmarch and adopted by the
Berlin and Vienna Samaritan societies

Dasis of the System.

Basis of the System.
The underlying theory, upon which
Pref. Won Esmarch has built the sys-
tenn which he has exposed to the criti-
cism of the public at this congress,
is that the vitality Of the patient should
under no circumstances be impaired or
exhausted and that the natural strength
existing in the person at the moment Of
the accident should be kept at its nor
NAL condition, as far as permissible
under adverse circumstances, and thus
made to act as one of the elements
in recovery. The professor acts upon
the conviction that an accident, how
ever severe it may be and whatsoever
may be it's final outcome, does not at
the instant rob the injured of all his
strength; he argues that it is the suf-
fering consequent upon the accident
that weakens and that this suffering is
fastened and perpetuated in a great
measure by delay in giving to the in
jured parts the attention and relief
they require.
This argument led the professor inev-
itably to the position that .44e quicker
relief is forthcoming the longer will the
strength remain with which to battle
against the depressing tendency of the
wound or injury, and to extend this
aid and to educate the people up to the
knowledge Of extending this aid is the
preliminary step in the groundwork Of
his system.
