of by Biddy. the child knew nothing of
all that. but went away happy with her
mothers kisses on her face. .
Her little girl was very dear to Mrs.
Jack. but her little girl did not suffice
to fill her life. She was not OF that or.

selves with maternal affection as with

clear that Mrs. Jack had given up her
teaching ut Beech Groye-had lost
the siderwation," rs Mrs. Petherick
said. And her kind friend Barney was
anxious about her.
Mrs. Jack went down into the little
parlor that evening and talked with
Barney.

ness. He was very kind and good to
poor, silly, inexperienced me-" And
the open palms covered the pretty,
childlike face, and Mrs. Jack sobbed
outright.
Miss Barnasconi was greatly surprised
on returning home in the middle OF the
day TO hear from her landlady that
Mrs. Jack had not been out to give her
lesson that day, and that. moreover, it
was the opinion of Mrs. Pethcrick. Il.

Accordingly. Barney, who was proud
in her way, refraiEud from trying to
see Mrs. Jack at that time. but drank
her tea and then trotted out again to
her teaching as usual. So Mrs. Jack
remained all day with no society save
that of PopSy, whom she took out for
n country walk in the opposite direc-
ton to that of Beech Grove.
Popsy was very severe upon her
mother. requiring her to manufacture
daisy chains OF fabulous length and in
siSting that she should carry home a
handkerchief full Of treasures. such as
pebbles. grass, several poppies dragged
up by he roots, a crows feather and Il
brace of lively cockchafers. Then, too,
Popsy demanded information on a

mothers patience and ingenuity to the

III Is ignite Than Old Forms aud
Can he Run More Rapidly.
A novel system Of wheel construe-
ton has been recently patented by an
E~ngishman which, while applicable
TO the bicycle, carriage wheels and belt
pulleyS, would seem TO have special adj
vantages in the construction of heavy
flywheels. Such wheels, as usually
built, require n considerable amount OF
expensive machinery, which is avoided
in Sharp's system of construction.
The ordinary wheel arms are replaced
by wronght-iron rods, which are u
shaped and lap around the hub Of the
wheel, the ends Of the u being secured
TO the rim by nuts.
The driving power Is transmitted to
the spokes entirely by friction, and as
the arc of contact of the spoke on the
rim is fairly large, the principle of
band friction comes into play, so that
very great torques can be transmitted
without any risk of slippin
taking place. For a Cotton wheel Mr..
Sharpe proposes to use thirty-two
spokes, each 2 inches In diameter, Sc
cured to the rim by split nuts, which
makes a very neat job.
Such a fywheel, as usually built.
would have six or eight arms, and
when running at high speed the centri-
fugal force tends to bend the rim be
tween, such bending being a serious ad-
dition to the direct circumferentiaI ten
sion due to the same force. The num-
erous spokes of the new construction
greatly reduce this bending. while AT
the same time the wrought-iron spokes
are considerably stronger than the or.
binary cast-iron arms, and consequent
ly 1t is claimed that the spoke wheels
can be run at a much higher speed.
In fact, the inventor claims the rims
of his wheels may he run at a speed OF
q lineal feet ncr- second. Thus light
or wheels IAN be used. which would he
