PIast.r,ne ON Wire Netting.

A wire netting for plastering in the
place of laths is not new idea. It re-
quires less labor to put on the walls,
is more continuous and will not burn.
Coarse netting with one inch mesh, and
made of strong wire, is found to an
swer best. For ornamental cornice
work it is especially valuable. for il
can be bent in any desired form. Sc
cured to iron studding in brick
building the greatest danger on &C.
count Of FIRE would be removed. A
still further application of this plan is
to make round bags of wire resem-
bling barrels, and to coat them inside
and out with cement When it hardens
they resemble barrels. Filled with
sand and sunk in rows and masses
they make excellent building mater
ials for breakwaters.

MARRIAGE NOT A FAILURE.
The Husband Found the Value q
wife Before He Paid for Her.

wife Before He Paid for Her.
A Fall River clergyman tells an in
teresting story of "a wedding fee. He
was settled in New York city and one
day had q church wedding. After
the ceremony the groom handed him
from his pocket book wad which the
pastor subsequently found to be wrap
pers of paper to the number Of about
dozen, inside of which was a bright
cent He didn't know how to regard
the token, whether as joke o. in
some other light Time passed, how
ever, the minister wondering what
had become OF the pair Of whom he
ONLY knew that they were intending to
live in New YORK.
One day, the first anniversary Of the
marriage a letter came from the man
enclosing check for $50, which he
wished the pastor to accept as his
proper wedding fee. No explanation
was given Of the original cQmpensa-
ton, and the clergyman was left to
construe it as best he could; he was,
however, inclined to believe after the
receipt Of the $50, that the man must
have been poor at the time Of the
ceremony, and (though why one cent
was chosen remains mystery) folded
the sum so effectua}ly that others see
ing the paper might have no idea Of
what was in 1t, apd particularly that
the bride might not know the amount.
It is evident that the man had pros
pered during the year, apd that be
considered he had got Ills moneys
worth. Fall River News.

CHAPTER "

The average writer Of fiction describes
every southern man as wearing long,
black hair, wide brimmed hat and a
fierce mustache. The southern woman
is pictured as tall and stately, with
black eyes and raven tresses. Marian
Percy was a uechild of the south, and
yet she had hazel eyes, brown hair and
was petite in figure. AS she passed the
ragged little darliies in the street they
looked after her and called:
"Golly me, but dar goes Miss Sun
shine again"
Of sunny disposition, charitable in
thought and deed respected by all, she
had dignity without haughtiness, was a
queen among girls without arrogance.
II every other girl Of the south was ar
gulng for and enthusiastically applaud
ing the right of secession and wearing
the toy Palmetto flag, Marian was the
exception. Not that the momentous
events were lightly passed over, but be-
cause she was we; ing them and pom
dering deeply. Educated at the north,
she had formed strong friendships and
found hosts of friends She had seen Ii e
Yankee at home, at his worst and at
his best, and she. rather liked him.
That general election, such as had
been held SO often before, should result
in turmoil, bloodshed and separation
she could not understand. Politicians
defended the secession Of South Caro-

CHAPTER III.

Night comes. and the streets Of the
old town grow more quiet. Men have
cheered themselves hoarse, and intense
excitement has wearied everybody. An
even so men have signed the roll, and
moro will come in tomorrow. The Ie
cruiting Office has been closed by the re-
moval Of the table and the departure of
the captain. With that officer we have
little to do With the man in citlzen's
clothes who assisted him we have much.
Let me introduce to you as he sits on
the yeranda of the village inn Duke
Wyle, 2j years of age, bachelor, the
only son Of eX-Judge Wyle, the nabob
Of the village and county. The young
man has been educated for nothing in
particular. He has done nothing in
particular since he left college.
Duke? Oh, Dukes all right" was
the reply to any half meant criticism.
The old mans got plenty Of money,
and Duke is his heir. Good boy, that
Duke. Likes to hunt and ride and is a
little wild but he'll steady down after
a bit. Don't you worry about Duke!"
And when the news Of war came
ke found the excitement his nature
\ed. When the volunteer company
" Null he was to be its first heuten-
al Me and Royal Kenton were ac-
gu Nnces, but not friends. In the be-
gin they had been attracted toward
eac Der, and there was promise of
clos, Smacy. But no two men can
love t. Samo woman and be friends
be anyi ~ less than enemies. Both
were free Dent callers at the old man
sion standing at the head Of the long
street, in which resided the widow and
daughter Of the late Hon. John Percy,
one of ViIginia's Oldest and wisest sen
ators and statesmen. II Marian favored
either cne, if she was interested in any
one Of her numerous callers, no sign Of
encouragement had been given. Ken
ton and Wyle were only two out of
twenty, and yet il seemed 10 be general
ly understood that she would ultimately
favor one or the other.
Hooray! Hcoray! We uns will lie
i'll Washington in less'n 80 days,'

shouting as he drew near.

the enthusiastic volunteer was swinging
his hat and making ready for another
cheer.

There is no question that the gun is
master III the gun armor fight. Armor
has been driven from the complete cover
ing OF the broadside to narrow belts and
Isolated gun stations aud now it seems
that the water line belt is likely to 90.
This latter chhnge is not due so much to
increased gun power as to change in the
composition of the batteries, the introduc.
tion of high explosives and improvements
in ship construction tending to lessen the
danger of sinking if pierced ut the water
line
1t Is not proposed to change materially
the total weight Of armor carried, but the
weight of water line belt armor is to be dis.
tributed among the gun stations, loading
tubes, coming tower, engine matches, pro.
tective deck, and in the form of light side
armor three to six inches thick, to prevent
shells containing high explosives-nitro.
glycerlne, melinite and similar compounds
from penetrating and exploding between
decks. So far as known at present com.
paratively thin armor is sufficient to cause
all the violent explosives to burst before
penetration.-New York Herald.
