The Young Man Understood 1t After a
photographer Helped Him.
They were sitting in the parlor of a
west side house, and the conversation
was dragging somewhat. They had ex-
hausted all the available social topics,
had taken a dip into literature by criti-
Gising some of the latest novels, had dis
cussed the summer resorts and the pros
poets for a good fall season, talked a bit
about the theaters, and there did not
seem to be much left.
After an embarrassing pause of five
minutes the girl said: 1--WE have got
the funniest cook. She says the most
killing things"
"Yes?" put in the young man inter
sstedly.
Eyes, she is a crank about sickness.
Every day she has some new sickness.
AS a matter of fact, she is a great bux-
om woman, strong and healthy as can
be, but she imagines she has one foot in
the grave"
"Must keep her busy finding symp-
toms" said the young man.
"Indeed it does, and some of her COM
plants are very l~aughable. Why, the
other day she came in and told me in
perfect seriousness that her bones were
~ossifying."
The young man looked puzzled. He
laughed a little, though, and said:
"What a remarkable complaint! Idon't
suppose it was true, doyou?' The young
woman's face took on a panied express
sion. 81 said she said her bones were
ossifying, she remarked.

was true.
The young woman passed her hand
YEARLY over her forehead. She looked
at the young man pityingly and said:

the drift of my remark. l said the cook
came to me and told me that her bones
were ossifying."

Brown" he replied. Il Think, too, that
I gather the meaning Of the remark.
Still 1 do not suppose that, except in
rare instances, such things do occur.
She put both hands to her brow this
time, smiled a bit and abruptly changed
the conversation.
Half an hour later the young man
paused on his way to his room and hunt

YELLOW CUR AND COYOTE.
Zach In Turn Assumed the Aggressive In
an Amusing Fight.

Ah <tAHusAHS IIShi.
There were three Of US in a wagon
driving from Springdale, on the rail
road, to Hunters Hot Springs. We had
forded the sloughs that during the sea
son II high water in the Yellowstone
cut off the approaches to the bridge, the
water filling the wagon box and taking
the horses almost off their feet at times
in the swirl of the current. One of the
dogs from the hotel joined US OF terra
firma-a mild faced yellow cur, with no
fighting qualities. He was trotting along
on the road a few rods ahead of the
horses when there came Looping across
the open country a big coyote, making
straight for him.
Away went the dog, and after him
the wolf. The dog made a stand and
took a nip at the wolf. Then the wolf
ran, and the dog pursued, but as soon as
the dog had overtaken his enemy he
changed his mind about attacking him
and turned back. Now the wolf gained
courage and took up the chase, running
the yellow cur clear up to the porch Of
the hotel at the springs. The party in
the team got a good deal of fun out of
the novel turn about hunt.
MendenhaIl, the landlord. whipped
up the team, and we bounced along at a
tremendous pace, shouting, go it,
wolf!' and eco it, dogl" The landlord
yelled encouragement to Stub, the dog,
but Stub had no mind for a tussle with
the sharp toothed. long nosed brute and
was happy to gain the shelter of the no
tel. The coyote trotted off across the
hills. "What things a fellow will see
when he hasn't his gun with him!' re-
marked one of the men in the wagon.

A1gol, the Mystery of the Skies.


Algol, 1.-THE variable star of the con-
st~elIation of Parseus," is regarded
among astronomers as the greatest mys-
terry of the heavens. Its light usually
remains constant and uniform for a
period Of from 48 to 60 hours. 1t then
commences to gradually fade from view,
and in less than four hours diminishes
to an insignificant point of light. After
remaining in a state of semiobscuration
for a period of time, varying from 10 to
80 minutes, it again regains its former
brilliancy. Astronomers believe that
some large dead and dark world ~reVolves
between Us and Algol, but this is the
disputed point, a mystery which will,
in all probability, never be satisfactorily

Aluminium and Glass.

M. Charles Margot of the physical
laboratory of the University of Geneva,
says L'Industrie, has made a curious
discovery. He has found that by rub
bling on glass with an aluminium point
we obtain clear metallic lines, which
cannot be removed by washing, no mat
ter how often repeated. Many applica-
tions Can be suggested for aluminium in
this direction. 1t can be used instead of
the engraver's tool in cutting designs
on glass. With the aluminium pencil
diamonds can be distinguished from i'm
i~tation, since it will make no mark on a
diamond. 1t is possible that the new
discovery may make a great difference
in the making of cut or engraved glass.

Old Ocean Is Tearing Away the English
Coast by the Rod.
The fiat marshes of Pevensey have
gained half a mile since the days of Ed
ward II, when the sea almost washed
the walls of the castle that now stands
high and dry inland. The same thing
has happened on the Romney flats,
where the ancient castle of Lympne has
receded a mile or more. Such spots as
these look as though the next spring tide
would add their grassy meadows to the
lost ground of sea bottom. But Oh the
rocky parts of the Antrim coast we have
the sea slowly working its way inland,
despite the rock Notifications and stony
in~trenchments that look so resistless.
Under the waves lie racts of bogland

well in shore, and Dunluce bears wit
ness to the ravages hat have taken place
within a few centuries, a few ticks of
the clock as biologists count time.
The SEA, ever washing and tearing at
it's foundations, one day broke down a
considerable part of the castle, and sew
eral persons were killed by the catas-
trophe. This was in the days when
Dunluce was held by other tenants than
the birds. Then a home and a strong
hold, now but a memento of past JOY
and glory.
Another marked example of the inse-
curity of rock defenses where the sea is
the invader occurs at Filey, on the
Yorkshire coast. Only 20 years ago
there was a pathway running around the
ancient church of st. Hilda, which is
built on the solid rock. Now this is SO
broken away on the seward side that
it is impossible. Another 20 years may
see the church undermined. -Argosy.
