with Reinaldo, and Prudencia's honey

On Saturday night Chonita stole from
her guests, donned black gown and

servants, went up to the mission to con-

Estenega rose from a bench beneath the

poetry she had never read OF man being
a woman's soul--a man with all his
frailties and sins, for the most part un-
repented. She felt rather than knew
that Estenega had trampled many laws,
and that he cared too little for any law
lint his own will TO repent. And yet,
there he he lay. looking in the gray light
and the impersonality of sleep, as sin
less as if he had been created within the
the hour. He looked not like a man, but
a spirit-a soul, and the soul was hers.

he so immeasurably beyond her in ex-

He awoke suddenly and saw her. For
a moment he stared incredulously, then
raised himself on his hand.
"Chonital" he whispered.
But Chonita, with the long glide OF
the Californian woman, dissolved from
the room.
When she awoke the next morning she
was assailed by distressing fear. Had

A Point For Travellers.

The advice is given by well known
society woman who travels a great deal
to wear ones best underclothing while
on the cars. Never mind if it does get
soiled." she says. II have known of the
most fagrant cases Of neglect during
railroad accidents of people whose un-
derwear looked as though they might be
poor. This is a shameful fact, but the
people who pick up the wounded after a
wreck are intensely human. Many of
them do not propose TO open their homes
to sufferers unless they are to be paid
for it. They judge Of the ability of peo-
pie to pay largely by their underwear,
as the outside garb Of most well to do
people is more OF less the same in these
days"
The idea of arraying ones self with a
view to acci tents when starting out on
a journey is perhaps likely to suggest
useless forebodings, and this advice is
likely to engendera pessimism regarding
the character Of ones fellow men, but it
may be worth needing Her Point of

TIE INTRODUCTION OF MENTAoL.
It Was Utterly Unknown In England Twen-
tv-five 3ears Ago.


The medicinal use of menthol in China
and Japan goes back into the dateless
ages. Isolated references to its applica
ton in the east are met with here and
there in the records Of western travellers
in those parts, but we shall probably
never know the name of its discoverer OF
the early history of its introduction.
We do not know with absolute GER
tainty when and by whom menthol crys-
tails We're first brought to the notice of
European pharmacologists. 1t is said that
they were used pharmaoeutically on the
continent as long ago as the end of the
last century, but If that statement is cap
able of proof the drug must have fallen
into oblivion shortly after its introduc-
ton, for it was certainly utterly un-
known, even by repute, to most persons
in the drug trade 25 years ago. Some
where about 1864 consignment of the
drug was received in London under the
name of Chinese peppermint oil and
passingly commented upon for its curious
property Of solidifying with a fall in the
temperature.
To the late John Mackay Of Edinburgh
belongs the distinction of first having
called the attention of British pharma-
cists to the valuable properties Of men
thol. Mr.. MackRy is believed to have
brought ''po-ho oil" with him from
Paris, where it was Then sold in the
small, red labeled Chinese bottles famil-
Jar to eastern travellers as kind of pro
prietary article.
Had menthol been an utterly valueless
medicine it would perhaps have taken
Europe by storm then and reigned for a
season, just long enough to gather for
tune for its first exploiter. But as the
drug happened TO have a solid thera-
peutic value it had to wrestle through
the familiar stages Of contumely, ridi-
cule, animosity and unreasoning popu-
larity, just like any new creed or re-
former.
The commercial interest Of menthol
practically dates from 1878, when an
English firm in Yokohama made a small
shipment of it to London, determined
not to rest until they had succeeded in
securing for the remedy footing upon
the market. After many months theil
shipment went back with note from
the agents announcing that ''the stuff
could not be sold there, as no one knew
what to do with it. But the Yokohama
firm persevered, and they reaped theil
reward. -Four years later menthol crys
tails were the rage Of the season, selling
at 60 shillings per pound, wholesale, anG
carried about in cone shape by all per
sons with any pretense to the possession

Testing Pure water.

It is one Of the easiest things in the
world to tell pure water from the i'm
pure. If you want to test the color of
the water, just fill a colorless glass bottle
with the water and look through it at
some black object, and the distinctive
ness with which you can see the object
will give you an idea as to the amount Of
clay or sand there is in the water. Then
pour out one-half the water, cork the
bottle tightly and set it in warm place
for about p hours. Remove the cork
and smell the air in the bottle. If there
is an offensive odor. even the slightest,
the water is unfit for domestic uses.
Well water, no matter how bright and
sparkling, is, nine times out of ten, pu-
trescent. Then, as a matter of course,
decomposition is sure.to set in in day
or two if you put the bottle in warm
place.-New York Telegram.

New sIethod of starting Street Cars

The latest method Of starting street
cars in Denver is said to result in a saw
ing Of at least so per cent over the cost
of the ordinary system. The difficulty
Of maintaining schedule time with a
large number of cars is well recognized,
and on many lines if the car be delayed
by an accident for quarter of an hour
or 20 minutes the whole line will be so
demoralized that schedule time will not
be overtaken during the whole day. In
the city of Denver there are "A miles Of
electrical and 10 miles of cable tracks,
requiring 108 trains in daily operation.
To obviate the inconvenience which a
breakdown of any kind inevitably causes
O system of telephone circuits has been
arranged with various call points, all
communicating with the headofice. Ev-
cry conductor on arriving at the termi-
nus of the route Immediately reports the
number of his car to headquarters and
receives in reply his proper leaving time
and any instructions that may be neces-
sary. The dispatch clerk is in this way
advised of the whereabouts of each car
and is very often enabled to I'LL up a
space of from 80 to 60 minutes caused by

the various termini is taken as a setoff
against the expense of the telephones

after suffering from ataxy for years,
from the first had found certain relief
from taking the pills. and he is now a
