heard the word music mentioned,
and she became at once interested
to learn what these people had to
say on the subject which was dear
er to her than any other"
"For my part" said stern-look-
ing old man, II have no words to
describe what a gracious comfort
music has been to me all my life.
1t is the noblest language which
man may understand and speak.
And I sometimes think that those
who know it, or know something of
it, are able at rare moments to find
an answer to life's perplexing prob
lens.
The little girl looked up from her
plate. Robert Browning's words
rose to her lips, but she did not
give them utterance-
"God has few of us whom He whispers in the
ear; The rest may reason, and welcome; It's
we musicians know"
II have lived through a long life"
said another elderly man, "and have
therefore had my share of trouble,
but the grief of being obliged to give
up music was the grief which held
me longest, or which perhaps has
never left me, shall crave for the
gracious pleasure of touching once
more the strings of violincello,
and hearing the dear tender voice
singing and throbbing and answer
ing even to such poor skill as mine.
| still yearn to take my part in
concerted music, and to be one Of
those privileged to play Beethoven's
string quartets. But that will have
to be in another incarnation, |

arm, and then, as though ashamed
of this allusion to his own personal
infirmity, he added hastily
''But when the first pang of such
pain is over there remains the
comfort of being a listner. At first
one does not think it a comfort; but
as time goes on, there is no resist
ing it's magic influence. And Lowell
said rightly, "that one of Gods
great charities is music"
II did not know you were music
al, Mr.. Keith, said an English lady.
"You have never before spoken of
music"
perhaps not, Madam" he an
swered. "One does not often speak
of what one cares for most of all.
But when / am in London, aarely
miss hearing our best players.
At this point others joined in,
and the various merits of eminent
pianists were warmly discussed.
"What a wonderful name that
little English lady has made for
herselfp' said the Major, who was
considered an authority on all sub
jects "I would go anywhere to
hear Miss Thyra Flowerdew. We
all ought 10 be very proud of her.
She has taken even the German
musical world by storm, and they
say her recitals at Paris have been
brilliantly successful. | myself
have heard her at New York, Leip-
sic, London, Berlin, and even Chi
cago.
The little girl stirred uneasily in
her chair.

it? What would the lady yonder
in the horse cloth dress and billy

''Ah, I had forgotten about the
tuning" she answered, brightly;

asked
"No," she answered. II keep my

A Bird Of PASSAGE.
By the Author of "Ships that Pass in the
Night"

"Well," l,"'he said, gathering him
self together, lit is the one subject
on which | can be eloquent. Ever
since | can remember [ have been
worried and tormented by those
rascals. / have tried in every way
to escape from them, but there is
cruel fate working against me. Yes;
/ believe that all the tuners in the
universe are in league against me,
and have marked me out for their
special prey"
"All the what?" asked the little
girl, with a jerk in her voice.
"All the tuners, Of course" he
replied, rather snappishly. Il
know that we cannot do without
them; but, good heavens! they have
no tact, no consideration, no mercy
Whenever I wanted to write or read
quietly, that fatal knock has come
at the door, and I've known by in
stinct that al chance of peace was
over. Whenever I've been giving
a luncheon party, the tuner has ar
rived, with his abominable black
bag, and his abominable card,
which has to be signed at once.
On one occasion was just propos-
ing to a girl in her fathers library,
when the tuner struck up in the
drawing room. left off suddenly
and fed from the house. But there
is no escape from these fends; |
believe they are swarming about in
the air like SO many bacteria. And
how, in the name of goodness, you
should deliberately choose to be
one of them, and should be so en-
thusiastic over your work, puzzles
me beyond all words. Don't say
that you carry black bag, and
present cards which have TO be
filled up at the most inconvenient
time; don't"
He stopped suddenly, for the lit
tie girl was convulsed with laughter.
She laughed until the tears rolled
down her cheeks; and then she
dried her eyes and laughed again.
Excuse me-" she said, II can't
help myself; it's SO funny"
'It may be funny to you" he said,
laughing in spite of himself; "but
it is not funny to me-"
"Of course it isn't" she replied,
making a desperate effort to be SER
ious. "Well, tell me something
more about these tuners"
"Not another word, he said, gal
lantly. 81 am ashamed of myself
as it is. Come to the end of the gar
den and let me show you the view
down into the valley"
She had conquered her fit of
merriment, but her face wore set
tied look of mischief, and she was
evidently the possessor of some
secret Joke. She seemed in capital
health and spirits, and had so much
to say that was bright and interest
ing, that Oswald Everard found
himself becoming reconciled to the
whole race of tuners. He was amaz-
ed to learn that she walked all the
way from z, and quite alone too.
"Oh, I don't think anything OF
that" she said; 81 had a splendid

ANIMALS without stomachs.

Cats get along perfectly well with
out stomachs, according to experiments
recorded in the Archives de Physiol-
ogie. In one cat, which lived for forty
eight hours after it's stomach had been
cut out, the oesophagus was found to
have been completely united with the
intestine. Another cat, which weighed
four pounds when it lost it's stomach,
was alive and well and weighed four
pounds and half three months and
half after the operation. It found diff
ficulty in digesting pure milk, but got
along nicely when the milk was mixed
with yolk of egg and rice, and ate
cooked meat, cheese, and PURGE of po-
tatoes. This proves that all three
classes of food, albuminoids, fats and
farinaceous substances, are digested by
the agastric cat. AS it had been pre-
viously proved that dogs can do with
out stomachs, the next step would seem
ito be the production of agastric man.

and stiffened with number of trusSes.
The mast is sustained by guys running
from the top to points averaging about
two hundred feet distant and anchored
to trees or great rings set into the
granite ledge. The wire rope in the
guys and other rigging would make q
continuous line almost mile in length,
and the weight of the derrick, exclu-
sive of rope, is about fifty thousand
pounds.
The boom is seventy feet long and
commands large amount of working
surface. None of the Barre granite
quarries is deep; the tendency has al
ways been to extend operations later
ally instead of going down into the
earth, so that the advantage derived
from the great length of boom is appar-
ent.
The machine is operated by means of
powerful hosting engine, and all the
workings are controlled by single en-
the large quarries and granite manu-
featuring plants in Barre, but the
power applies only to the lifting; the
booms with their loads of stone, in every
instance, are swung around by hand
power. At the foot of the Tayntor der
rick, heavily planked over to protect it
from flying stone when blasting out
refuse granite, is the turning gear con-
,nected by wire rope with the engine
hotise, where, by means of a lever SINH
lar in its workings to the reversing
lever on locomotive, the engineer
alone is able to lift from the bottom of
the quarry, swing around to the side
track and place upon a fat car block
of granite weighing forty tons. The
largest single piece of stone ever lifted
from quarry in America by means of
a derrick was taken from this quarry
and weighed ffty-seven and one-haf
tons.
The derrick has always been found
equal to any strain put upon it, and has
several times broken chain links nearly
two inches in diameter. The company
has an order for a granite shaft fifty
five feet in length which, in the rough,
will weigh nearly one hundred tons. It
is already partly quarried.

5. x. Emmett, the Actor, Influenced by
Liquor, Attempts to Kill His Wife
and Himself-"Baby" Sinnott
the Heroine.

SAN FRANCISCO, June Ill. X.
Emmett, the actor, made an attempt
Saturday night to kill his wife, who Is
known on the stage as Emily Lytton.
The shooting took place short dis
lance from their temporary residence
in this city shortly before p. m.
Emmett had been indulging in strong
drink and after his wife returned home
quarrel ensued. The woman ran into
the street, her husband following, re-
volver in hand, to the door, which she
closed in his face and locked from the
outside. Baby" Sinnott, the s-year-
old protege Of the couple, was playing
in the yard. AS Mrs. Emmett ran
down the sidewalk her Infatuated hus-
band leaped from window and start
ed after her. In his hand was re-
volver. Half way down the block the
woman stopped and looked back. She
saw her husband and the revolver, and
with scream resumed her flight She
cried loudly for help as she ran.
At this point the pathetic feature ap-
peared in drama. BABY Sinnott,
hearing Mrs. Emmet's cries for help,
ton lending speed to her little feet.
'Baby's" face was white and
set, but she did not give utterance
to single cry. Near the corner
Emmett caught up with the terror
stricken woman and as she turned the
corner he drew his pistol and fired.
With a scream Mrs. Emmett fell to the
sidewalk wounded. Once more he ad-
vanced toward the woman as though
leveled his pistol the baby sprang upon
him and seized the hand that held the
weapon.
The actor paused and looked at the
little one in establishment, for he had
not seen her before. Pushing her from
him, Emmett stepped back a pace or
two and slowly placed the muzzle of the
weapon against his temple. Baby Sim
nott again spraug upon him. She
seemed to climb up his limbs. In an
instant little hand was gripping the
barrel of the pistol, which she dragged
away from the mans temple. She
chung to his arm so that he could not
use the weapon again. Emmett stood
for a moment as if bewildered and
then with his left hand he threw the
weapon into the garden on the corner.
Then it was that the s-year-old little
heroine collapsed and fell to the side
walk in faint. Bystanders quickly
gathered, and one picked up
the child. No one would touch
the man, who walked up the street and
sat upon his doorstep until an officer
arrived. Mrs. Emmett was assisted to
doorstep near by, where she satmoan-
ing until officers took her to the re-
ceiving hospital. There it was found
that bullet had struck her in the
head, but had glanced upward along
the bone, infiicting a serious though
not dangerous wound. Emmett is under
arrest.
Emmett was released on giving bail
in the sum OF $4,000 He Immediately
took the pledge, and says he will never
drink another drop. An affection
ate scene occurred between Emmett
and his wife after his release. All was
forgiven.

AN OLD OCEAN TRAMP.

cording to the vessel and the trade in
which it is engaged.
The average wages may be said to be
as follows: Chief officer, S38. 80; second
officer, 5000; chief engineer, sos. 49,;
second engineer, 5000; carpenter,
s26.76; steward, 5000; cooks, s23. IL;
boatswain, STAG; able seamen, S17.O3;
ordinary seamen, s9.73; fremen, STATS.
These wages are a little better than
those which are paid on other ships, on
account of the extra hazardous risks
taken by the men. The tramp ships
make the most erratic journeys, wan
dering pretty much over the whole
world before returning to the same
port After carrying a cargo of coal
from Cardiff to one of the West India
islands, it may go to New York, thence
to Antwerp, and may then go to Cape
Town, and from there to Shanghai, GO
ing to San Francisco before returning
to the port from which she originally
came.
The operating expenses of the ocean
tramps are very small. The coal con-
sumption is reduced as much as posi-
Bile and the crew is small, while the
other expenses are kept at the lowest
notch practica BILE.
They are very unpopular at sea, and,
like their namesakes on the shore, their
hand is against every one. They are
the terrors of small craft, such as
yachts and fishing smacks, and many
boat that has been run down in a col
lision blames tramp steamship for
the accident, as the tramps keep poor
lookout, or none at all.
