She Was Not Familiar with Theatrical
 Grayoling Terms.


 frayolIng Terms
 She was very innocent little thing and was not at all yersed in the ways of the world-especially theatrical ways. True, she was an actress, but then this was her first professional ehs gagement, her sphere of usefulness having been previously limited to amateur appearances, and she was in no way calculated to be up in the shop talk of old stagers Her simple blue eyes would open very wide at many of the observations dropped in the course of conversation by the other members of the Fly By Night company, touring the very small towns Of the northwest, and such expressions as ''jollyiug" the hotel proprietor and giving the local manager n steer were as much be- yond her as the low comedians ire quent remark that they were "staclIed against hard thing with the railroad ties behind 'em.n
 Still she got along very well, and was 70 well liked that many of the hard, cold facts of the troupe's con dition were kept from her out of pure kindness and regard for her sim plicity. But things became so des. perate at last that there was no longer any virtue in concealment, and when they were definitely stranded." the leading man came out hat-footed about the matter and remarked rue fully:
 'I thought it would come to it. There is nothing left for us now but to get home on our trunks the best way we can.n
 "oo our trunksr she exclaimed, her eyes opening wider than ever.
 They're our only hope of getting back, ' was the reply.
 Then she said, very seriously: "You really mustloan me yours, Mir Jeukius, for mine is round topped one, and I'm sure could never ride safely upoh it'-N r. World

 He was one of the guests at the summer hotel, difident and green, and he was also one of party on a drive through the mountains to return to the hotel in the evening. He was quite attentive to one young woman in the crowd whom he had known only a day or two, and at one point where they all got out Of the stage he essayed to help her in again, and in doing SO it was necessary to come very near putting his arm around her waist.
 What do you mean, sir?' she asked, SO unexpectedly as to unuerve him.
 ''i beg your pardon" he stammered; II only meant to help you in the stage"
 Tt wasn't necessary to put your arm around my waist, was it?"
 'I never thought of that" he said. blushing very much indeed.
 Well, sir, she concluded, emphat- ically "I want you to understand hereafter that allow no man to put his arm around me unless he IS think ing about what he is doing"
 Then she smiled, and the entire stage load gave the backward young man the laugh. h.--Detroit Free Press.

Firing in Both Army and Navy Less Ac-
 curIte Than ormrriy
 The training of naval artillcrists has. in recent years, been given good deal of attention, and no end of powder and shot has been expended in target prac- ticc designed to serve Ii iaore telling purpose in actual warfare. should the occasion present itself. Itwould seem therefore, says Cassicrs Magazine, that the floating equipments oi naval powers of to-day ought to give good accounts themselves in point of craftsmanship if called into action though it would be presumptuous Co undertake to fore shadow possible results. If on the other hand, past experience counts for anything, there would secn to have bean notable decline in accuracy in naval gunncry, growing with success sive improvements in naval arlhitec- turc and naval armament It was esti- mated some years ago, from data fur ni5hed by target practice at sea, that heavy gun must be discharged fifty times to make one effective hit Tho old snooth-bores were credited with laiilng man by the discharge of the guns weight in shot; in other words three tons of thirty-two-poundcr shot were required for the purpose. Actual service test with modern high-power guns, however guns weighing twelve tons has, within the past ten or twelve years, shown that it took about sixteen tons of projectilos to accomplish the same thing It is interesting 10 note from what statistics are available that the introduction of riloI rnuakets into the armies has had somewhat similar result. The old-time muslSets, it is said, killed Q man by firing at him his own weight in lead bullets, but the modern rife, iii the hands of the aver age soldier, so it has been figured out. does not effect a fatality until it has discharged twice the mans weight in lead Both here, as well as in naval shooting, therefore, there has been shown to be m important demand for greater skill and care. Whether this has been met in any measure. future hostilities only will tell

eLopEp ON A STEER.
Two West Virginia Lovers Evade an oba
 durato Parent.

durafo Parent.
 One morning recently young couple appeared in Weleh. Mcdowell county, ". Va. They were Miss Carrie Coats, pretty, peachytcheelted country dam sel of seventeen, and Sandy Johnson, a tall, stalwart, goodlooking noun taineer of twepty-two years They had travelled all night from the brides home on Ground Hog creek in order to elude the obdurate father of the girl The girl was riding on the back of di .nitied spotted steer, and Sandy was walking by her side, The unusual sight soon drew n crowd of people, and, as everybody loves lover, half Q dozen hurried off after magistrate or preacher UnluelSily for the lovers, no official could be found who would marry them, on account of the girls age. When the couple heard of this they both broke down aud cried, the girl sobbing us fl nearly heart-brollen,
 The tears of the pretty young girl brought about determination on the part of the spectators to see them through in some way, and one sug- gested that they take the train, then nearly due, for Bristol, Tenn. where they would find no difficulty in getting married. This proposition changed the tears of the bride into smiles of joy and Sandy's less apparent grief into open-mouth delight for a moment, uutil he thought of the expense Some one in the crowd, however, anticipated the young man and proposed that the crowd pay all expenses, and in less time than it takes to write 1t pocket books were out and enough money was contributed to carry the couple through, with Q souvenir left over for the bride
 The spotted steer was stalled in front of a pile of oats aud corn to ruminate in peace and plenty until the return of the couple, and the pro- cesSion headed for the platform. Neither of the couple had ever seen a train before, and when it pulled in they got on the platform between the engine and the baggage ear. Their sponsors soon remedied this mistake and had them conducted into ladies car. where the conductor was express ly charged to see them ss .oly through, The last seen of Carrie and Sandy as the train was wnirling out of sight they were folded in each others arms, laughing and strainipg their eyes as they looked out of the window,-Chj cago Times.

NlAeARA's POWER.
It Is Being marnessed for Manufacturing
 purposes

Purposes.
 Engineers have estimated that the total water power of Niagara falls is seven million horse power This esti- mate, to be sure, is in the main only gt,ess, but when the area drained into the lakes above Lake Ontario and pass ing through Niagara river be consid- cred, the gness or estimate does not seem to be too large. The water sur face of the great lakes above Ontario is S4 0o0 square miles, and the watershed of these lakes is 2io,0 GOO square miles, more than twice the area of Great Brit ain and Ireland. The total length of shore line is 5000 miles, while the vol ume of water is COCO cubic miles, of which Lake Superior contains almost oue-haf. The rate of outflow at Buff falo is from 9l7,000 to 275.000 cubic feet per second while the fall of the catar- net is lG5 feet The volume of water in the lakes Is such that it has been es- timatcd that even if no rain fell the flow of the river would be continued at it's present rate for one hundred years that is, if the lakes could be gradually drained
 These are very large figures, says Harper's Weekly, but in the main they are the results of exact measurements. The small water powers in the world are uneven, and are affected by floods and droughts, but this great power at Niagara is as constant as anything in this world can be, not even the ice in the severest and longest wlhter ever known appreeiably changing it. The present plant Is intended only to utilize l25,0O0 horse. power, and the turbines now in place are only for q small part of this. Other turbine wheels will be put in place as the demand for the power grows. The general plan of che company contemplates the ultimate use of 100 600 horsepower on r. American side and like amount in Canada. Such a power would t'.rn all the wheels within a radius of 600 miles of the falls, Al the present time a considera- hlc polt of the power developed is to be taken to Buffalo by electric transmits sion, and it Is the confident cS yectation of the electricians now at wn.Is on the problem that the pc CT san bc taken as tar east as AlbpS, g00 miles away. and delivered there cheaper than power can be generated by burning eoal. If this be so, then all the country be- tween Albany and the falls will be ad- mirably adapted for manufacturing while the Erie canal will afford cheap and tolcrably quick transportation, for there seems to be little difficulty in the way of hauling these boats by electric al power
