Lenora's Soap bubble Party.

Mamma! oh Mamma. See what
Phillip Jay brought, see it is n piece of

invitation to play soap bubbles with
her little friend Lenore Jay, that after
noon, she danced off TO show her
treasure and tell her next door neigh

scarcely wait for the time to pass until
it was the hour for meeting ut Le'

Mrs. Jay provided plenty Of pipes
and a bowl of soap suds on the hlrd
wood floor of the dining room, and
there they merrily and safely amused
themselves and Iona, the baby, all
the long. bright afternoon. A little
before five o'clock. mamma. Jay and
Phillip came in with cookies and lem

homeward looking for flowers and
ripe berries in the hedges and gather

that it was the incest party they were

Electric Currents.

There are many persons who talk
very learnedly about electricity, and
seem to fancy that they have found out
all about 1t that is worth knowing.
In the face Of ideas Of this sort comes
on an accident without precedent, in
deed. one that under ordinary circum-
stances would be cou3ted impossible.
A workman, in oiling the machinery
of n small electric fan-one used mere
ly for the purpose Of cooling the air
In a business house-accidentally
touches the wire and is instantly killed.
The current that runs the fan Is said
to have scarcely power enough to give
a gentle shock when touched. An elec-
triclflr, who has recently been making
some important experiments, has dem
onstrated that by using electE>ry N
certain way fifty times the current usu-
ally employed for executing criminals
NAV be passed through the human body
without injury. Is it not possible, then,
that very weak currents, under certain
conditions, may possess power hitherto
unsuspected?

SCATTERING SPEECHES.

Five Million Copies of CongressiOn-
al Records FrnnISed by the Mem
bers.
There Is one industry which is not in
the least affected by the hard times,
says the Boston Advertiser. This Is
the record division of the government
printing Office, which has charge or
printing congressional speeches for dis
trlbution. There has never been con-
gress when the presses were worked
SO necessarily for this purpose. VAL
ready over 100000 speeches have
been sent out over the country under
congressional franks, and the number
Is piling up daily until by the
close OF the sescion it is expected that
1t win far exceed any record which has
hitherto been made. Tom Johnson
alone gave an order for 100000
copies of his speech on the income tax
In the tariff bill. He leads the record
But in the number Of speeches order
ed by other congressman Burrows
heads the list. Over 100000 copies Of
his tariff speech have been issued and
he has taken very few himself. Most
Of them have been sent to western
farming constituencies by republican
representatives. Reeds speech at the
close of the tariff debate is not printed
by the government printing office, but
by one Of the private concerns in
Washington and this has just about
equaled that of Burrows. There Is q
great demand for Wilson's speech on
the Democratic side, and tens Of thou
sands of copies Of the speech of Crisp
have also been sent out. In the senate
10000 copies of Senator Lodges speech
have gone out, many senator's franking
them to the college studeLts in their
states. Senator Morrills speech Is also
In great demand, and the first speech
delivered by Senator Hoar has gained
wide circulation. The efforts of
Voorhees, and Mills, which opened and
closed respectively the general debate
In the senate, have been clrculatd al
most as widely by Republicans as by
Democrats.

CHAPTER VI.

What is the meaning OF it alp"
said Martha, as she shut herself
smartly into that temple devoted to
silver, glass, and such like, which
Fletcher looked upon as his special
sanctum. and in which he hated to
be disturbed.
"Matter?' said Fletcher. with a
snarl, as he lifted his bald head and
tall thin person from over the silver
spoons he was rubbing furiously-
"it means that missus has just worn
masters patience out at last, and
he's made up his mind to Live by
hisself-small blame to him"
This was only a guess, and he
looked keenly at Martha to see il he
were correct
Pooh" said Martha, taking a
seat with an air that meant aggra-
walton. "It's missus won't stay
with him, you mean. A nice poor
stick he'd be without her to bolster
him up! But what's he been doing,
l wonder? l shouldn't have thought
he'd got spirit enough to get into q
scrape!"
Fletcher snorted violently, nod
ding his head up and down, and at
the same time contriving to shake
it, in a peculiarly irritating manner.
"You needn't look like fool. If
you are one" said Martha, comforta-
bly,. land If you think you'll be able
to do anything with master, keep
him tidy, or happy when missus is
gone, you're mistaken. You'll just
be two doddcring old fools. trying
to prop each other up, and both
coming to the ground"
Fletcher laughed shortly, and flew
at silver tankard, expending upon
it an enormous amount of supcrAu-
Gus elbow grease.
Those baggages in the kitchen
don't know anything about it," said
Martha, with a sudden change OF
tone.

scornfully, ''unless it's you or me-?

CHAPTER ".

CHATTER ~.
1t was two o'clock in the morning,
and Mary was standing by the half
opened window, listening to the last
echoes OF the night traffic dying
away.
She was sorry when it ceased, for,
all alone in body and spirit as she
was, the hum and movement, the
life that beat in such full current
without insensibly soothed her.
and when the last sound had ceased,
her ears ached with listening for
more.
There was no sound in the street
below, save some steps that at regu.
lar intervals passed the house, and
seemed TO come back again, then
again return, and she said to herself
idly it must be the policeman on his
beat, and she was glad he stayed SO
near.
But presently the steps ceased
altogether, aud not long afterwards
Mary heard a movement in the next
room, and her heart bounded, for she
knew that it was John.
She stood looking at the closed
door that suddenly struck her as an
offense to herself, for had he NOT
practically ordered Fletcher to shut
1t?
Why was it shut? What had she
done that it should be closed upon
her? Then love conquered pride,
and she took one timid step forward
only one-and in the same moment
heard the key turn in the lock.
Then indeed Mary forgot to be
good, and scared high on a wave of
passion and wounded pride. that
when it had spent itself in dumb
fury left her shocked and ashamed at
her own capacity for evil, and yet for
all her shame so hardened that no
power on earth could have induced
her now to take another single step
towards reconciliation.
Locked out of his heart, locked
out OF his room, as though she were
guilty creature. thing accursed,
when she had tried with all her
strength to put self by and do her
duty
Cold and calm she extinguished
the light, and laid her down to sleep
Morning found her sleepless, but
still calm, for now her pride had so
entirely encased her heart that il
was beyond the possibility of pain to
wound it.

The DiDlomntic Corps,

An interesting fact not generally
known in regard to the diplomatic
corps is that member OF that au-
gust body cannot, under the penalty
of official reprimand and danger OF
recall, appear at a fancy ball in the
national court costume. This fact
was developed during the past
winter when large fancy ball was
given at one OF the private houses
on the same evening of the presi-
dentlal reception to the diplomatic
corps. Those of the diplomats who
ATTENDED the ball later in the even
ling were obliged to first change the
court costume worn at the White
house. Inquiry on the part OF Curl
oes friends developed the reason just
stated

ing Cromwell's reign Incorporating
and chartering the society for insti-
tgtlng the propaa alton of the gos-
pei among the Indians of New Eng
land, is in the possession o. the
Presbyterian board OF missions and
is on exhibition in New York. None
of the persons named in the act are
known in history, but the society
did much good work in New Eng
land, not only among the Indian 8
but also among the whites. 1t is
reported to have been the first mis-
sionary society to send agents to

CHAPTER V.

Martha Fletcher was brushing out
her mistress hair before the mir
ror, and glancing from time to time
at the pale, composed face before her.
She had returned early In the day,
and to her astonishment found Mrs.
Anderson not get down, though that
lady had long ago taken her break
fast in bed, and was moving about
the room putting things together
here and there, either as if she
meant to rearrange them, or TO take
o Journey.
Fletcher had not condescendeo to
enlighten his %ife as TO the state OF
affairs
Between this pair had waged even

Mary, secure in her own happiness,

the tactics Of the opposing parties.
but concern had at last given place
to an intense amusement that she
often shared with Tom, whispering
into his ear any particularly divert
ing skirmish between the pair re-
ported TO her by Martha.
True, Fletcher had the great adj
vantage of being man, and there
fore superior to- nerves, and thou
sand feminine weaknesses, but or
tho other hand Martha was much
sharper OF wit and moro agilo o.
tongae, naturally. so that often she
got the advantage OF him, though
his impenetrable front did not suf.

victory.
