then OF my dismay, when snatching the
verbenas from her hand with an angry
gesture she cried:
Chow dare you, you little impp How
often have l told you not to pick the
flowers? And these scarlet verbenas,
too, which am saving to wear to Mrs.
Redmond's ball tomorrow night. You
deserve a good beating" and she sud
denly boxed the child's ear.
"Portia, II cried involuntarily.
She turned and saw. me. Yes, there

almost humble look took the place of her
expression of fury.
The poor, grieved little child was sob.

her. With baby's instinct she came
to me and crept close to my heart. She
did not cry out as most children would
under the circumstances, but moaned
sadly, almost uider her breath, "Oh,
mamma, mammav

"Well, she is such torment. Come,

my arms until her sobs had ceased. and
then. ill clinging to my hand rs to some
projecting power, she went into break
fast with me.
There was pile of letters at Portals
plate. She glanced over them hurriedly
and paused at one.
"Here is a letter from Colonel March
mont" she said. "Now shall know when
he is coming"
As she read, her face became trans
figured. The hard, stern lines softened;
flush crept to her cheek. She looked
more like the cid Portia than at any
previous time.
"He is coming" she cried, coming
tomorrow. Thank God | haven't lived

Then without one word of apology
Mrs. Marchmont abruptly rose from the

An important change is to be noted
in engineering praCticc-namely that
of winding steam pipes over inches in
diameter with three-siXteenths inch cop
per wire, thus nearly doubling the burst
ing pressure, in the case Of merchant
steamers using high pressure steam. 1t
is found that, as with the wire wound
gun, wire of square section coiled round
the pipe under tension adds enormously
to the strength, and the results of some
tests have showed that wired pipe
stands just about the pressure it ought
to have stood when unwired had the
copper not been injured i'll the brazing.
To obviate the risks of careless brazing
and enable the thickness of sheet copper
forming the pipe to be reduced to a
minimum, at the same time that full
advantages of wire winding is secured,
an improved system of manufacturing
steam pipes has been devised-fOrming
even a closer analogy to the wire gun
than the usual system Of wire winding
and consists i'll using copper Of the
thinnest practicable guago to form the
interior to the core Of the pipe. Tie
body of the pipe proper is composed Of
steel wire wound closely around the
core, the intcrstiCes being filled in solid
with copper by a new system Of copper

The other morning a tall stout man,
with a scraggly, half grown beard and ev-
cry indication of poverty in his apparel,
entered the Riggs House and approached
the desk where Proprietor de White was
standing.

a sandwich yesterday morning for two

with weakness. Cant you let me have

Mr.. de White gave him {: card to the

ciously disposing of plentiful break
fast. When he had finished he uncon-
sciously dipped his fingers in the water
glass, passed them over his lips, and dry
ing them on the napkin arose from the
table. Drawing himself up, he smiled
with satisfaction, and putting his hand
into the pocket of his tattered vest he
drew forth a dime and proffered it to the
astonished waiter. When the latter re-
fused the tip, the man appeared to
awaken from dream, and with redden.
ing face he muttered something and hur-
riedly went out.
His gait, bearing, manner and poise
generally were those of a man who had
known better days, and the unconscious
recognition of the waiter showed that
the power of habit acquired in the days
of his prosperity had asserted itself when
the momentary pleasure of square meal
had caused him to forget his present
plight. Washington Post.

Science teaches a physical impossible.
ity when it says that heat and light as
such come direct to us from the sun,
for these two forces-i. G., heat and
light (Which are simply different mo-
dalities i'll the motion Of electric force,
or ether i'll notiOn) require ponderable
medium for their transmission, radia-
ton and reflection to render them per-
ceptible to our senses. Could we, then,
be placed midway between the sun and
the earth we would be wrapped in
worse than Egyptian darkness" and
subjected to a degree of cold beyond all
calculation. Then not only the sun,
but all the planets as we'll, would ap-
pear as balls of fire, from which no ray
of light or heat could reach US through
the imponderable, motionless, forceless,
rayless ether by which we would be
surrounded. From this l argue that
the heat and light possessed by the
planets must be generated within the
ponderable sphere of each and is the nat
ural result of the friction of the sun s
electricity passing through our atmCj-
phere and rendering both more intel o
near the earth's surface than it is few
miles above, which, believe, is an es-
itablished faot.-St. Louis Republic.

Englands meat eating population must
be fed and it certainly looks as though the
United States could provide the meat to bet
ter advantage than any other country. The
report Of the Mouse of Lords committee
which has been considering the question
OF marking foreign meat imported into
England re Gently submitted its report. 1t
declares that the United States is the plin-
cipal exporter of meats to England sending
343,5I3 tons per year. New Zealand is
next with 43, l27 tons and tn n comes Au-
stralia with 1868 tons, and Canada with
Is, 65l tons. The report adds that 60 per
cent of the meat supplied to the British
army comes from abroad, and says that the
Birkenhead- killed beef from the United
States is so like English beef that the publ.
in rinety nine cases out of hundred i.
unable to tell the difference. The principal
indication of the origin of meat according
to the committees report is in the shanks.
In American-killed the shanks are bruised
and discolored and become tainted at an
earlier period, owing to the fact that the
hind leg is chained during the dressing.
The managing director of Eastmans lin
ited) (Which company import one third OF
the total supply of chilled meat and which
has G0osshops in England, gave favorable
testimony regarding American beef and
said that it was known as such when sold.
In conclusion the committee expresses its
belief that large quantity of English meat
is inferior to American and state, that it
was generally asserted in the Investigate On
that the average excellence of imported
meat was higher than that of homegrown
meat. The committee recommends that
dealers in foreign meat be registered and
that notice to the effect that they sell
foreign meat be affixed to their shops.
