1t occurs to me that you espouse

Possibly the young man was over

realizing that he had spoken hastily

"Well ?" whispered Miss st. John !;
"wellf" 1t was easy to see that she
was at last deeply interested.
"Mr. Dubois asked her in this letter

An Effective Plea.

A legal decision has been rendered
in Philadelphia which illustrates the
transitional nature of the progress now
being made in electrical science An
electric light consumer disputed his bill
on the ground that the meter did not
measure correctly. There is no surer
way of throwing the average electri-
Clan into the widest excitement than
by mentioning casually the fact that
electricity is in its infancy" but this
truism was turned to profitable account
when the case was brought into court.
The complainant pleaded that notwith-
standing the apparent progress of re-
cent years in electricity, the science is
still in the infantile stage; that the COM
pany had adopted a meter, which, in
their Judgment, was the best that could
be found; that the affidavit of the de-
Tense did not indicate in what respect,
manner or particular the meter was in
correct, and that it gave no standard
by which such incorrectness or correct
ness could be tested. The court sus-
tanned this view, and entered Judgment
accordingly

Proofs That the First Lady i'm japan
Possesses Warm Heart.
The empress of Japan has upon manv
occasions openly evinced her interest in
children, giving freely to all institutions
that exist to benefit them in any way,
even practicing all sorts of little econ
omies that she may be able to swell
her contributions to certain charities
that most interest her. The conduct Of
this woman upon certain sad occa-
sion her devoted subjects are never
weary Of describing, says Harper's Ba-
Ear. Prince IWakura a fearless Japan

aged to borrow from some hidden nerv-
GUS force sufficient strength to grasp
his writing box and brushes and to
paint her an urgent but most respectful
request not to think Of coming to him.
He forced upon her as excuse for de-
cliling so great an honor the fact of
his rapidly approaching death, and his
consequent inability to acknowledge her
visit with even a sixteenth part Of the
homage it demanded. He begged her
to deign to kindly consider how ill he
must be when it remained an impossi-
bility to throw off the malady even for
her entertainment. In reply, winged
with speed, came a missive whose inn
port was as follows:
II come not as your empress, but as
the daughter of your fond Well-Wisher
and coadjutor and as your own anxious
friend.''
Shorn of all ostentation and display
the empress arrived and remained be-
side her grateful subject until his final
summons. Some years ago, when the
imperial palace was burned, the unself-
ish empress, amid all the excitement
and discomfort she was for the nonce
called upon to endure in hasty flight
to comfortless old yashiki, thinking
first of her subjects natural concern
for her comfort, sat down and wrote
them a dainty little rhyme, which pro-
claimed as erroneous the report that

ways been in the hearts of her people
and that she sincerely hoped that nei-
Their by famc nor by cold could she

HOW TO RUN FAR AND FAST.

Keep the Knees Bent, Lean Forward
and Lift the Feet Very Slightly.
PSYCHOLOGISTS and lovers of athletics
may be interested in recent experiments
and researches of French artillery
captain. NJ. de Raoul, who, some tif-
teen years ago, began to try and find
out the most economical and least try
ing way of walking. There are many
manners of walking, says the Popular
Science News, some of which are much
devoid of grace, but it may be supposed
that as far as efficiency is concerned
one must be better than the others.
NJ. de~Raoul has come to the conclu-
sion that, as far as fast walking is con-
cerned, the best method is that which
he calls marche enf1exion. The prin-
ciple is to run without leaping, to raise
the body above ground as little as pos
siDle, to keep the knees bent, the upper
part Of the body inclined forward. so
that practically you are always running
after your center of gravity. The feet
must be raised only very slightly. NJ.
de Raoul, who has now some years of
experience, says that he can now take
any man between 20 and 60 and teach
him to run as long as his legs can carry
him without getting out Of breath.
Some men can, on the very first trial
of the method, run seven or eight miles
without stopping, while, with the ordi-
nary tactics, they could not have run
over a mile. The first kilometer "a
kilometer is five-eighths of mile) is
usually covered in seven minutes and
a quarter, the second in six minutes,
and the third in five minutes and forty
five seconds. An interesting feature Of
NJ. de Raouls researches is that even
after long run, according to his meth
cd, a stiff walk is no trouble at all;
the muscles which work in both cases
do not belong to the same set, and while
one exercise is performed the muscles
which minister to the other rest.

A CANINE MUSICAL CRITIC,
He Is SO Fond of Music That He Will Ever
Listen to "Annie Rooney"

A young lady residing up town,
near Fifth avenue. has Scotch terrier
which she claims is musical. The
dog is not musical in the sense that
he can produce a concord of sweet
sounds, but he has the ear of dis
eliminating critic and by certain ac-
lions expresses approval or dislike OF
certain airs played either by hand
organ. the melodeoa. piano or brass
band. Bernardo, that is the prod igy's
name. is just 9 months old, and when
a puppy 3 months old he began to
show decided fondness for music.
The young lady said to New
York Mail and Express man that
Bernardo happened to be in the front
hall one day when he heard the
':Boulanger March" ground out of a
hand organ on the street. From a
sleepy attitude the dog aroused him
self and began to caper around in
risky manner, giving playful short
yelps. just as soon as the organ
grinder changed to the Heart Bowed
Down" Bernardo stopped his lively
actions, and lying fiat upon the floor,
began to moan as if in pain. From
that time nothing was neglected to
discover what musical acumen the
dog possessed.
The young lady played the Swan
Song from Lohengrin, on the piano.
which had the effect OF making Ber-
nardo walk slowly around, plaintively
barking all the while She played
half dozen selections as follows:
Swan Song" the Soldiers Song"
from Faust; the ''Star-Spangled Ban
ner, J" the Marseillaise Hymn" john
ny Get your Gum and Yankee
DOODLE The selection which
seemed to give the dog the most sat-
isfaction was yankee Doodle" The
lively music caused the canine to race
around the room in a most frolicsome
way giving vent to succession of
short quick barks When the STAR
| Spangled Banner greeted his ears he
sat on all tours and gave, now and
then, a long Dark. which the young
lady interpreted as patriotic ejacula-
tons The '.Marseillais Hymn"
seemed to create fear in the heart of
the dog, for he covered in the corner
! and tried to escape.
These tests were made when Ber-
nardo was a few days over 3 months
| old AS he grew older he was given
every opportunity to hear and famil-
iarize himself with all kinds of tunes.
Although Anne Rooney" is worn
thread bare with many, Bernardo en-
joys it highly and almost turns SON.
ersault in his approaching antics.
A boy whistling on the street attracts
his attention. The young lady said
that her idea about Bernardo was that
he had the gift of enjoying music
without exactly being able to discrim-
mate like human being. Whenever
he sees his mistress go into the room
where the piano is he scampers in as
fast as possible. BY playing Yankee
Doodle or The Boulanger March"
he can be made to quit the door and
frolic up and down the hallway. But
sad tunes only make him paw the
door more vigorously and bark the
louder.
One day small bell was attached
to his neck and came near driving
him crazy. He ran around yelping,
as if a tin can had been tied to his
TAIL and he kept it up 50 long the
! offending bell had to tie taken OF.

EEE-EatinH by Fowls.

Egg-eating hens are often the result
Of habit formed by having access to
broken eggs, though in other cases
the habit comes from an mate hunger
born Of the lack Of proper food ele-
ments containg the nitrogen and the
phosphate and eat the eggs to obtain
them.
The Poultry Yard says: The habit
CT egg-eating by the hen is, at times,
very serious one with which to deal,
though never have been troubled with
it but once, and then for a short time
only. AS breed no fowls but Part
ridge Cochins, I presume I am not
troubled as much as those who breed
the smaller kinds Of fowls, for I think
the AsiaticS are not SO apt to acquire
the habit in question as are the smaller
breeds, for the former are generally
possessed of a quiet disposition, while
the latter, especially the Leghorns, are
very active.
AS preventives are better than cure,
I will suggest a few which I practice.
According to my judgement the habit
Of egg-eating is oftenest formed by hay
ing soft or thin-shelled eggs laid in the
nest. These are almost sure to be brok-
en- by the hen while on the nest, and
she will be very apt to eat the broken
egg. Then, first, feed your hens shells,
meats and such a variety Of food that
all the eggs will be likely to have
hard Shells
Occasionally there is a hen that never
lays other than soft-shelled eggs, and
she will soon acquire the habit Of eat.
Ing eggs The best remedy for such an
egg-eater is to give your hens plenty
Of work, especially the smaller breeds
for Satin finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do" Strew thiclz]y over
the hen house floor, or small yards
leaves from the woods, or chaff from
the hay loft, in which scatter wheat
oats, screenings or the coarser parts OF
cracked corn. To find the food thus
scattered, and partly hidden, will give
the hens capital employment during
the close confinement Of the winter
time and is most excellent to keep then
out Of mischief.

Women Dealers in ReaI Estate

women dealers In ReNl Estate.
Lucky real estate speculations are
not confined to men in Pittsburgh" said
a real estate agent yesterday. There
is one lady in this city who has built
and sold more houses in the last three
or four years than any one else in the
business. She seems most fortunate in
her speculations, and often when 9TH
ers, who consider themselves better
versed in property, have advised her
not to make a venture, she has gone
against them, following her own judy
.ment, and, strangely enough, has al
ways succeeded. She has never been
known to make a losing deal, and her
reputation for good sound judgment
has caused many persons anxious to in
vest in dirt and bricks about the city
to consult her. I know of another very
lucky woman who is making much
money in real estate deals. She is q
typewriter on Fourth avenue, and
started specializing by selling some lots
which were left her by a relative. With
this money she bought other property.
This she sold at an increase, and so
she went on buying and selling until
to-day she has nearly $4,000 to her
credit. This sum she has amassed in
three years, with no capital to start
with but two lots, worth, possibly,
$780, There are many other like in
stances of lucky women in Pittsburgh
