The Escape Of Cauvagnac.
We must now give a few words OF
necessary explanation, after which we
will resume the thread Of our history.
We must now return to Nanon, whom
we left fainting at the sight of the
unfortunate Richou. Her inSenSibiEty
lasted for some time, and was sue
ceeded by frightful Mysteries, much
to the surprise Of the Due d'Epernon,
who had witnessed her calmness and
courage in so many instances.
Her first words, when she recovered
hr rsciousness, We're, Il am lost;
they have killed him for me-
Dear Nanon,' said the duke, "how
much you have suffered from the death
of Richou, which l was so imprudent
as to let you see"
"Oh, yes cried Nanon, sit is fright
full; it is infamous
but Of whom did you speak when
you said they have killed him for me?'
''Oh him!' cried Nanon, with the re
mains of delirium; land it is you who
have killed him."
You brighten me; what do you
mean?"

Steers cannot be fattened fully on
corn alone with profit, says Professor
Henry. for the concentrated grain
soon burns out the digestive tract
and the steer comes to make poor use
of his food Oil meal or bran should
be fed to tighten the ration. Bran is
cooling and Hghtens the heavy corn
meal materially.

Soon Cauvagnac entered; pale, but
not overwhelmed, for there was an In

a little anxious, and he could neither
eat nor sleep. The reflection OF the
part that he had taken in bringing
about the death of Richou, could not
be shaken off his mind. We can hard

Paid His Bad Debts Last.

An old man whose capacity for
liquor is only limited by his credit in
the saloons entered barroom where
his score already slated had reached
the limit. He tried to induce the bar
tender to give him just one more
drink, but the drink dispenser firmly
refused. Looking around he saw at
table a gentleman who was appar-
emily much interested in the CONVEX
sation. Going up to him he said:
"Say, friend, can't you loan me a
dime to get drink9 I pledge you
my word I'll pay you back" The
man handed out dime, never ex-
pecting to get it back. The old fell
low hobbled up to the bar, and dis
playing the dime said, Nov, John,
let me have that whisky" The bar
tender had no sooner placed the drink
on the bar than the topper gulped it
down. Returning to the man at the
table, he handed him the money, say
ing: Here's your dime. I told you
I'd pay it. ] always pay borrowed
money before whisky debts" The
bartender was dumfounded, but re-
covered soon enough to hasten the
exit of the customer who had bun
koed him. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

velocity of Electricity.

Science of Common Things says
that the velocity of electricity is
so great that the most rapid motion
produced by art appears to be actual
rest when compared to it. Some au-
thorities have estimated that electric
ity will pass through copper wire at
the rate of $780, miles in a single
second of time-a velocity greater
than that of light.
On the common aerial telegraph
wire it has been found that the sub
tie fluid does not travel at a speed ex-
ceeding 10000 miles per second,
most authorities giving it as $4,000.
It should be noted in this connection
that the velocity of transmission in
creases with the distance between
the wires and the earth, or, in other
words, with the height of suspension.
Subterranean wires, such as ocean
and river cables, transmit more
slowly. Experiments made at McGill
college, Montreal, a year or two ago
proved that the time required for a
Geographic signal to pass from that
point to Greenwich, England, and
back again was but LOS seconds.
The distance travelled by the current
in that infnitesimal portion of time
was nearly 5000 miles. The figures
given in the opening, $50, 900 miles
per second, were deduced by Wheat
stone in 1888, but have never been
confirmed,
