This L. Human Nature.

1t was one of the days when the wind
blows suddenly and sharply around
corners, when the dust whirls in clouds
and the air has a hard, cold dampness
which goes straight through any coat
except a fur one. Away up town on
one of the western avenues where cheap
shops are kept on the ground floor Of
cheap fiat houses. a woman stood by
a window with a baby in her arms. Her
dress was shabby and so thin that the
wind went through it like through a
sieve. The baby had wooden frock
and worsted coat and cap, and seemed
to be warm enough as he buTowed
upon the woman's shoulder and dug his
'sprawling little fingers into her eyes.
In the shop window were displayed two
kinds of garments On one side were
women's wooden pettieoats and all
kinds of heavy cotton underclothing,
which looked warm and comfortable.
But this woman did not see them, for
she was looking on the other side Of the
window, where were shown little
knitted hoods and tippets of white,
foSsy stuff. and babies mittens and
babies shoes and babies fancy caps
with ribbons in them.-N. Y. Times.

Making snectacle Lehses.

In making spectacle lenses the bit of
glass to be formed into lens is fas-
tened by means Of pitch to a small
block of hard rubber, so that it may be
held. 1t is ground by being pressed
against a rapidly revolving castiron
disc on a vertical spindle, and with
curvature equal and opposite to that de-
sired in the lens. This is the rough
tool" and is kept moistened with en-
cry and water. Several grades of en-
cry arc used in succession, changing
from the coarse to the fine as the grind
ing proceeds. The glass is then trans
fcrred to the fine tool" made of brass,
and compared from time to time with a
standard curve in order to insure ac-
curacy. In this second grinding the
abrading material is rouge. Finally,
the lens is polished by being pressed
against piece of cloth powdered with
rouge and fastened to the rotating tool.
The glass is now loosened from its
block, turned over, and the reverse side
of the lens ground When this has been
accomplished the lens is placed on a
leather cushion, and held firmly in po-
sition by a rubber-tipped arm, while q
diamond glass cutter passing round an
oval guide traces similar oval on the
glass below The superhuous glass is
removed by pair of steel pincers, and
the rough edges are ground smooth Cd
Scotch wheels.-Young Mems Era.

languor looked down upon him. But
in the present instance Miss Reed
leaned forward suddenly and darting a
sharp quick glance into his very con-
seriousness, said:
"And yo' mean to say, connie, there's
nothing between yo' and Sally Dows?"
CORTLAND neither flushed, trembled
grew confused nor prevaricated.
1--WE are good friends, l think" he re-
piled, quietly, without evasion or hest
tation.
Miss Reed looked at him thoughtful

returned CORTLAND, smiling. rs this a
paradox-or a consolation?"
Its the truth" said Miss Reed, grave
ly. Those who try to be anything
more to Sally Bows lose their luck"
THAT is-are rejected by her. Is she
really so relentless?" continued Court

fcer than an agricultural superin-
tendent. He was already in a side
pew, his eyes dreamily fixed on the
ledge before him, when
there was a rustic at the church
door and thrill of curiosity and adj
miration passed over the expectant con-

BOWS party-Miss Sally well to the
fore. She was in her new clothes

shall not imperil the effect of that
lovely vision by recalling to the eye of
to-day fashion of yesterday. Enough
that it enabled her to set her sweet
face and vapory golden hair in horse
shoe frame of delicate flowers and to
lift her oval chin out of the bewilder-
ing mist of tulle. Nor did a certain
light pOlonaise conceal the outlines of
her charming figure. Even those who
were constrained to whisper to each
other that Miss Sally" must "be now
going on twenty-five" did so because
she still had the slender grace of seven
teen. The organ swelled as if to well
come her; as she took her seat a ray Of
sunlight that would have been cruel
and searching to any other complex
ion drifted across the faint pink of her
cheeks and nesting in her nebulous
air beca me itself TRANSPORTED. A few
stained-glass Virtues on the windows
did not come out of this effulgence as
triumphantly, and it was small wonder
that the devotional eyes of the worship
ers wandered from them to the face Of
Sally Bows.
When the service was over, as the
congregation filed slowly into the aisle
CORTLAND slipped mutely behind her.
As she reached the porch he said in an
undertone: II brought my horse and
buggy. Thought you might possibly
allow me to drive"
But he was stopped by distressful
knitting of her golden brows. NO"
she said, quickly, but firmly, lyon must
not-it won't do" As CORTLAND hest
tated in momentary perplexity, she
smiled sweetly: "We'll walk round by
the cemetery if you like-it iriH tckt
about as long as q drirs."
CORTLAND vanished, gave hurried in
structions and a dollar to lounging
negro, and rejoined Miss Sally as the
delighted and proud freedman drove out
of the gate. Miss Sally heaved slight
sigh as the gallant equipage passed. III

ant in this implied partnership of re-
sponsibility that CORTLAND forgot the
abrupt refusal and thought only Of the
tact that prompted it Nevertheless,
here spell seemed to fall upon his usu-
ally ready speech. Now that they
were together for the first time in a dis.
tinctly social fashion, he found himself
vacantly, meaninglessly silent-content
to walk beside this charming, summary
presence, brushed by its delicate draper
les, and inhaling its freshness. Present

terial would come in good for fencing,
and could be used with the new posts
and rails. Don't you think it would be
better to have an out and out new build
ing?"
Yes, certainly" returned CORTLAND
a little confusedly. He had not calcu-
lated upon this practical conversation,
and was the more disconnected as they
were passing some of the other couples,
who had purposely fingered to overhear
them.
And" continued the young girl,
brightly, 'the freight question is get
ting to be pretty serious one. Aunt
Miranda holds some shares in the
Briggsville Branch line, and thinks
something could be done with the d.
rectors for a new tariff of charges if
she put a pressure on them. Taylor
says there was some talk of reducing
it one sixteenth per cent. before we
move this years crop"
CORTLAND glanced quickly at his CON-
panion's face. 1t was grave, but there
was the faintest wrinkling of the cor
ner Of the eyelid nearest him. "Had
we not better leave these serious ques-
tons until tomorrow" he said, smil-
ing.
Miss Sally opened her eyes. "Why,
you seemed so quiet, | reckoned you
must be full of business this morning;
but if yo' prefer company talk, Wen
change the subject. They say that yo'

bic to find one last Sunday. She don't

ically, that yo' and she might have

ablyl. ''She bewitehed Miss Sally
when she was baby, so that every
body is bound to her as long as they
care for her, and she isn't bound to
them in any way. All their luck goes
to her as soon as the spell is on them"
she added, darkly
81 think know the rest" returned
CORTLAND, with still greater solemnity.
"You gather the buds of the witch
hazel in April when the moon is full.
You then pluck three hairs from the
young lady's right eyebrow when she
isn't looking"
"Yo' can laugh, connie, for yo're
lucky-because yO're free"
I'm not sure of that" he said gal
lantly, "for | ought to be riding at this
moment over to the infrmary to visit
my Sunday sick. If being made to
pleasantly forget ones time and duty
is a sign of witchcraft am
afraid Nanny Judy's entertainments
were not confined to only one southern
young lady"
The sound of quick footsteps on the
gravel path caused them both to look
up. A surly looking young fellow,
ostentatiously booted and spurred and
carrying a heavy raw hide riding whip
in his swinging hand. was approaching
them. Deliberately, yet with uneasy
self-consciousness, ignoring the pres
ence of CORTLAND, he nodded abruptly
to Miss Reed, assembled the steps,
crushed past them both without paus-
ing, and entered the house.
rs that yo' manners, Mr.. Tom?"
called the young lady after him-a
slight flush rising to her sallow cheek.
The young man muttered something
from the hall which CORTLAND did not
catch. Its Cousin Tom Higbee," she
explained, half disdainfully. Hes had
some ugliness with his horse, | reckon,
but paw ought to teach him how to
behave And / don't think he likes
no'th'n men," she added, gravely.
CORTLAND, who had kept his temper
with his full understanding of the in
truder's meaning, smiled as he took
Miss Reeds hand in parting. That's
quite enough explanation-and | don't
know why it shouldn't be even an
apolo~y,"
Yet the incident left little impression
on him as he strolled back to Redlands.
1t was not the first time he had tasted
the dregs of old sectional h. red in in
civility and discourtesy, bit as it sell
dom came from his old personal antag-
onists-the soldiers-and was confined
to the callow youth, former nOn-com-
batants and politicians he could afford
to overlook it. He did not see Miss
Sally during the following week. Some
metallurgical experiments he had been
making with ore found on the estate
had taken up his time. He was am
bilious to develop the resources Of the
property beyond the expectations of
the company. Miss Sally was right in
attributing to him capacity for alb
sorbing work, which few, knowing his
quiet, reposeful temperament, had
imagined, but she was wrong in sup
posing-if she did-that it should pre-
clude romantic and even dreamy ideal.

NATIONAL GUARD NEEDS.
The Local Companies Inspected by
Legislative Committees.
Put Through a Course of Sprouts at
Armory Hall-They Make an Ex-
cellent Showing.

The announcement that the Governor
and several committees of the Legislature
were to inspect the National Guard troops
in this city last evening had the effect OF
drawing a large number of people to
Armory Hall. The galleries were crowded
with people, and they Witnessed very
interesting inspection of the four city
companies, the several staffs and the
Signal Corps. Owing to the inclement
weather Governor Markham did not at
tend, fearing an impairment of his health,
which has not been of the best for several
weeks. The legislative committees, how
ever, were well represented, and the
members showed a lively interest IN the
affairs of the military and the suggestions
that were laid before them.
Major Douglas of the brigade staff and
Lieutenants Maydwell and Ormsby OF
the regimental staff met the distinguished
guests by appointment and escorted them
to the Armory. There were present
Lieutenant Governor Reddick, Speaker
Gould, General Allen, Colonel Murray,
General Montgomery of the Fifth
Vogales, U. 5. A., Colonel Perrie Kewen,
members of the Military and of the Ways
and Means Committees OF the Assembly
and members of the Military and Fin
ance Committees OF the Senate, beside
many other Senators and Assembly,
men. Brigadier- Sheehan and
staff took charge of the guests.
The companies all made a very good
showing. The ranks were well filled
with men and the company officers were
out in force. The Signal Corps, under
command of Lieutenant Martin, were
also on hand, as were also the commits
stoned and on-commissioned regimental
staffs and the band. All were drawn up
in line around the hall, and an informal
inspection was conducted. After this the
center of the floor was cleared, and two
of Battery BIS guns were brought out
Captain Cooke assigned two squads to
these, and one of the best drills that has
ever been seen in the hall was COM
menced.
Both squads were thoroughly we'll
drilled and handled the pieces with vim
The work was loudly applauded by the
spectators, and was certainly very
pretty feature of the evening.
After these ceremonies the companies
were dismissed, and all the officers and
notables present repaired to the officers
headquarters, where matters in general
for the welfare of the militia were dis
cussed. Valuable and needed suggestions
were offered and commented upon, and a
very satisfactory meeting was held.
The members of the committees in
spected all of the armories, in company
with the officers, and found everything
neat and clean. The needs of the several
companies were explained, and the legis-
lators left with very clear idea Of the
wants of the troops. The guests were
served with refreshments before the
evening was over.
