CHAPTER. Iv.-(Continued)

We'll" said Bell, after pause, ''is
that the unpleasant report"
'Of course, we none of us believed
it. But that is the sort Of thing a
young woman is exposed to who lives
away from any natural protectors she
may have"
But it is true, Mrs. Lilly-quite true.
1 meant to tell you of it. came here
with the intention of doing so. l am
sorry you find it so Objectionable"
Mrs. Lilly raised herself up from her
STOPPING posture over the rose tree,
and pushed back the blue sunshade
from her bonnet so as to obtain good
view of Bells face, which looked any
thing but calm. Her cheeks were
burning, her eyes bright and her mouth
undecided between smile and a Sob
I'm afraid you have got into very
bad hands, Bell. But had better let
you and your advisers know at once
that, if this is an attempt to shame
Mr.. Lilly into giving you money to
keep you from doing this thing, it will
certainly fail"
Bells lips decided for the sob. They
Quivered, and she burst into tears.
How can you say such thing?
How can you think it? I am trying to
do the best can for my darling child,
and to pay my debts and live honestly
If you think l am capable of such a
mean scheme, Mrs. Lilly, had better
not come here again" And Bell walk
ed away at her quickest pace, and once
more excited the disapprobation of
Mrs. Hogg, by the rapidity with which
she ''scudded' down the High street.
Mrs. Lilly took her daughter-in-law's
abrupt departure very quietly, 1t was
only 'one of Bells huffs," she sup
posed. But" thought that cool-head-
ed lady, Bell said something about
paying her debts. 1 wonder how much
she owes? 1 think Mr.. Lilly had bet
ter pay any outstanding bills of this
year for her That will be a much bet
ter plan than giving her the money to
squander. And as to her nonsense
about teaching, don't believe she will
get single pupil in Codlington-that's
one comfort"

There are plenty of men who will,
by the impression carried through a
pair of calipcrs and the fingers ends,
determine, within very small percent
age, the amount of pressure which
shall be required to be exerted by
hydraulic press in order to force onto
its shaft an engine crank or a lOcomO-
tive driving wheel; a measurement in
which thOusandth part of an inch
variation in diameter causes much
more variation in pressure than is per
missible. Indeed, on some other kinds
OF work done in machine shops a thou
sandth part of an inch has now become
the most commonly employed unit Of
measurement; unit which Is divided
and subdivided into at least ten parts
in order to express the degree of re-
finement arrived at. This, of course,
far surpasses the frequently mentioned
but supposedly supertluOus hair-split
hair is about two and q half thou
sandths of an inch iii diameter. The
paper upon which this page is printed
is about three-thOusandths of an inch
thick, and one ten-thousandth part of
an inch is, therefore, one-thirtieth the
thickness of this sheet. Considerable
smaller variations of size can be detect
ed by the trained sense of touch, or
rather lT the variations in resistance
of a pair of calipers passed over the
work, and it is even possible for The
sense of magnitude, and the sensitive
ness of the finger ends in relation to it,
to be so highly developed as to detect,
unaided, and by merely rolnng a small
steel ball between the thumb and fin
ger, a variation from true sphericity
amounting to 1-12,50O of an inch, or
about one thirty-seventh part of the

MEN and women

Many men and women who a sho time
ago thought themselves of strong physique,
splendid intellect and nerves of iron marvel
at their feeling of exhaustion and total lack
of interest in their business affairs. They
are Overpowered by a sense of lassitude,
IanguOr and dullness. Their Wanted
strength ana self con troll seem TO nave left
them when most needed; already they have
eXperienceda lack of old time vigor, a Ger.
tain lack of cOnfiden &c, and nervous appre-
hensiOn instead of the old courage; a con.
slant feeling of las ,itude and waning am.
bitien; their blood is impoverished, their
eyes lusterless, they are haunted with mel
anchOly and frequently have the 'bIues;'
they feel their vitality wasting day by day
and night by night; they are easily discOur
aged, irritable, mOroSe and unhappy pleas
ures tire and friends bore them.

specialist of this city, and he will tell you

in its own mind as to the right of
the governor of a state to perform
the functions that properly belong
to the Legislature of the state, when
that Legislature has refused to per-
form its duty. The minority of the
Senate committee, who hold that
the governor has no such right, are
making a strong argument in favor
of their opinion.

THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

The STATE LEGISLATURE.
The condition of things at Austin
is by no means satisfactory to those
who, rightfully appreciative of the
needs of the state, desire to see
such enactmentS as would correct
present abuses, foster a spirit of in
dustrial development, encourage
capital and labor to make their
home in the state, protect the
weak from the assaults of the
strong and preserve to the state all
that she has so wisely and worth
lily cOntended for in the past. The
session Of the Legislature has about
come to a close, and what has real
ly been accomplished. Some doubt
full Improvements in court proceed
ure have been ordered, some rail
way charters extended, some in
VeStigatiOn into railway and land
commission acts begun, the usual
monies for carrying on the work of
the several departments appropri-
ated and the governor relieved of
part of his duties that a salaried
board might find employment in
discharging them. The most i'm
pOrtant measures for the good of
the state have been introduced
only to be banded about from
committee TO legislature and
finally kicked out of consider
alton. The criminal code has
been fooled with, misdemean-
ors magnified into felOnies
that the courts might be burdened
with expensive litigation over
tritleS, and no steps taken to unity
the classification of crimes and
render court proceedings homo
geneOus. After three months agi-
tation and abortive attempt to fix
upon some definite number of
supreme civil courts and To-
cate them, that the ends of litiga-
ton might be the more readily
accomplished, the whole matter is
as uncertain as it was in the open
ing days of the session. The very
laudable attempt to encourage and
foster manufacturing enterprise
was crushed out and the manufac-
turing capital Of this and other
states given to understand that it
would be left alone to fight IFS
battles with the old and well eStaE-
liShed industries of other states.
The humane endeaVOr to eS-
tablish home for unfortunate
women, in which they might re-
cover their lost wOmanhOOd and
become self-suppOrting, was fairly
Sneercd out Of existence, while the
utmost that was attempted in re-
fOrmatOry work was to extend pro-
lection to children UNDER TWELVE
YEARS of age who had fallen into
improper hands, leaving all who
had passed that age a prey
to the debauchee and the pam
derer. The time of the entire SEES
sion has been wasted in useless dis
cussiOn over unimpOrtant matters
upon which no principle hinged, in
the defeat or passage Of which the
state was not interested. There
are noble exceptions to this general
characterization but they were in
the minority in the Senate and
hOpelessly Outnumbered in the
House. The state will hear with
sigh of relief the announcement
that the Legislature has adjourned.

TIE movement now on foot in
this city to enforce the arbitrary
and puritanical law, utterly dis
tasteful to the great majority of
the citizens of this city, is greatly
to be deplOred. That it will end
in failure is certain. All past eff
forts of the kind have failed, and
every year the enforcement of
such laws becomes more difficult on
account of the growing freedom of
public 'OpiniOn on all matters
of religious kind. What has
not succeeded in the past will
not succeed now, but strife will
be uselessly engendered, divisions
will grow into bitter antagOniSmS,
public enterprises will be defeated
through sectional strife, plans for
municipal Developments and growth
will be rendered abOrtiVe, capital
and trade and population will be
deferred from seeking a home
here, and the result will be an in

will arise for years to come. And
