fortnight had passed. and the operation
was over For some days Lewis Darlington
had lain upon his sofa III a darkened room
with bandage across his eyes and terrible
dread at his heart. He was waiting for the
removal of the bandage to know whether he
was to see or be blind for the rest of his life.
Marion had been with him all the time wait
ing upon him and reading to him. She had
not been so happy for years. for Lewis Car
rington depended entirely upon her. Every
day she had been downstairs to answer to the
inquiries of fair-haired girl. It was the
girl whose photograph stood upon the mantel-
piece Every day she had been able to tell
her that Lewis was going on well. and that
there was every hope that he weuld see as
soon as his eyes were strong enough to bear
the light.
The evening before the day on which the
question was to be decided Darlington was
restless and nervous. Marion read aloud to
him to keep his thoughts from the morrow.
But she saw his fingers twiteh upon the arm
of his chair and knew OF what he was think
ing At 10 O'Clock she insisted upon his go-
ing to bed. But for more than an hour Mar
ion, who was listening by his half-open DOOR,
heard him tossing from side to side. She had
decided to give him soothing draught when
his breathing became more regular, and at
last settled down into the rhythmic respira-
of the sleeper. So Marion lay down on the
sofa in the sitting-room.
She had been asleep, as it seemed, but a
little while when something awoke her, and
from where she lay she saw Carringtor

MAY ARREST THE GOVERNOR
Jacksonville's City Ordinance Prevents
 Him From Stopping the Fight.


 Him From Stopping the Fight. JACKSONVILLE, Fla, J an. 16-The serious part of the Corbett-Mitchell dilemma seems to be passing away, and the comical side is beginning to make itself felt. A number of attorneys were discussing the question in one of the hotel corridors when one re- marked in a joking manner, "The governor or the sheriff dare not interfere with this contest, because either would be liable to imprisonment and fine and perhaps both. l" This was laughed at, and the attorney, procuring copy of the city ordinances, turned to where it stated that any person found guilty of interfering with or pre- venting the operation of any of the ordi- nances was liable to a fine of S100 or inn prisonment for 30 days.
 Judge Gibbons of the municipal court was asked if the law had been rightly in terpreted. Ut is true," said Judge Glib bons. By interfering with the Corbett- Mitchell contest the governor, sheriff or militia would be liable to fine and impris- onment. The ordinance allowing such 8 contest cannot be interfered with even by the governor"
 What would you do if the executive should be brought before you on such a charge?'
 Well" replied the judge, II should be governed by circumstances. At any rate I should do my duty"
 When this new phase of the question be- come noised about, lawyers and sports were highly amused. They thought it would be a huge joke should Governor Mitchell be forced to spend a month in jail for preventing glove contest.

INSANITY ON THE INCREASE
Sixteen Hundred Patients Now at the
 NLiddletoMn AsYIum


 The plans and specifications for the Lew building that is to be added to the Con- necticut hospital for the insane at Middle town are now completed, and bids will be advertised for within q few days. The appropriation for the building is $1OO, GOO.
 At meeting of the trustees last week they expressed the utmost confidence in Superintendent Olmstead, and feel assured that he manages the institution with all due care. They found that insanity is steadily increasing in the state, that the commitments to the state asylum alone in- crease in number about sixty year over each preceding year. Already there are 1,600 lunGtics at Middletown. The quarters there are so cramped for so big a number that, when madman at the town house becomes especially violent, milder Waterbury patient at the state asylum has to be transferred to the almshouse to make room for the violent fellow.
 No causes are given for the alarming in crease of insanity in Connecticut Of course only a small percentage of the in- sane are sent to Middletown. The harm less ones are kept in their private homes, or at the almshouses in their towns or are sent to private asylums.
 The majority of those sent to Middle town are indigents, people without com fortable relatives or friends.
 The new building will be rushed as fast as can be done consistently with frst-class work. The trustees are most anxious for the addition, as the number of the insane is increasing at rate that outstrips the yearly increase in population.
 Some local physicians say that theprip this year is a prevalent breeder of insanity, that it strikes the nervous system and often upsets the brain. but the grip alone does not account for the alarming spread of insanity

In tho Kitchen.

Mrs. Bunce tells the readers of Good Housekeeping that the wood of the kitch- en doors and holdings should be painted to match the wainscot. As for floor GOV erings, there are conflicting opinions. Some housekeepers declare that the floors should be of spruce or pine, and if well laid can be weekly scrubbed and kept spotless without being covered. Others assert that a inoleum cover is desirable, while the home woman invariably be- ieves that good oilcloth is all that is required for the room where the culinary art is pursued. Any of the three is suit able; all are in good taste and will be found satisfactory, provided the sink, washtubs and range have before them an oilcloth mat for constant usage to pre- serve the floor in those exposed portions. For the windows linen shade is all that is required, but that should be kept in good working order.

USEFULNESS OF MUSIC CLUBS.

These Afford Entertainment to Visitors
 and Are Improving to Active Members.
 Unless one is absorbed by a passion for music it very often occurs that after marriage women at all events drop it entirely. This is probably due in great measure to the multitudinous cares that appear in the life of woman of moder- ate means. In the evening, when some of the Fcares" are tucked away in slum- berland, the leisure that comes finds mind and body too weary to do the amount of practicing necessary to keep up the fingers and voice without some additional stimulant.
 She will say when demonstrated with on this subject: "There is no incentive to practice. have no time to practice new things and am tired to death of the old ones."
 Just here and to the relief of this class comes the music club, with it's monthly or semimonthly recitals. The incentive that competition always sup plies is now found.
 The smaller the club the greater the individual benefit probably. There is a club composed of eight members only in small western town which meets monthly and renders highly enjoyable programmes. The members are all mar ried and cumbered with many cares. The amusements and society in this town are limited, as they always are in small towns. Judge, therefore, how like draft of water in a weary land is the monthly recital to these women. Four of the husbands of the members sing and are equally divided as to parts; there fore many beautiful semichoruses are rendered, as the eight feminine voices are equally divided also into 6 double quartet, admirably balanced and from long practice well blended.
 Each member in turn is director of the evening and supplies the club the month before with copies of the octave choruses, quartets, trios, duets, etc., to be given on her evening, and for which she is paid cost price. She also informs the mem- bers individually what she wishes done in the way of solos, etc., and in a man. ner blocks out the months work.
 Once in three months an open meeting is given to invited guests, when the best of the preceding quarters work is repro duced. Thus it may readily be seen what help is such club both to mar ried amateurs and busy professionals.
 Pupils as well are greatly helped by listening and helping in club pro- grammes, for not only is it the greatest possible help to listen to good music, but it is also of inestimable benefit to be able to sing or play with self possession before others, says writer in The Etude.
