father was alive. well, and wealthy,
and resided in Australia. Again a COM
munication came. saying that valuable
property stu remained in her fathers
name In Detroit. All OF these revela-
tons were at once made known to Mrs
Huber's foster parents in Kansas City
The answer came that her father was
not dead, TO their certain knowledge
but his wherea bouts were unknown TO
everybody and had been for twenty
hve years or more. for he separated
from his wife a few months before his
daughters birth and disappeared. In
regard to the property. Mr.. Bullock had
owned some in Michigan. but Mr. and
Mrs. Anderson had not kept track OF It.
As a result Of these revelations Mr.
and Mrs. Huber have become ardent
spiritualists. The foster-parents have
not been converted. however, and Mrs.
Anderson is much grieved at the reve-
latlons which have come TO her beloved
toster-child. Mr.. Anderson is a we'll
known railway man in Kansas City
and holds responsible position.
Mr.. Huber is well known in ST Louis
business circles and is a member Of the
Furniture Board Of Trade and the
Paint OH and Drug club. The family
stands well In the community and he
and his wife are highly cultured people.
The letter and trip to Detroit may, per-
haps. add another chapter to the harra-
tive In the near future. Mr.. and Mrs.
Huber believe so at any rate.

A WHIM OF THE TIDES.

In September, 1892, the daughter of
the blacksmith in Gamma, an island of
the Hebrides, was wandering on the
shore. gathering driftwood for fuel. when
in a small bay about 100 yards distant
from her fathers house she picked up
piece OF wood bearing the inscription,
cut with a knife, "Lachlan Campbell,
Bilbao. March %, 1892" On taking it
to her mother, she became much con.
cerned, as this was the name of her own
son. who was a boiler-maker in Spain,
and as would be thecase with most peo-
pie, certainly with highlanders, she
could not get over the superstitious
dread that this message from the sea
was the harbinger of evil tidings regard
ing her soa. The family Of the proprie
tor did their best to calm her terror, ex.
horting her to wait for an explanation.
When writing to her SON, she told him
of what had happened and was greatly
relieved on receiving reply assuring
her of his we'll being. but was astonished
to learn that he perfectly remembered
how. when on holiday. he had written
as described on piece of wood and had
idly thrown it into the sea from a rock
near Bilbao. We all know the power Of
ocean currents and need not be sur
prised at this piece of wood having been
carried about for six months, but the
marvellous and, except for undoubted
evidence, the incredible circumstance in
this ease is that this piece OF wood, after
its long drifting. should have been
washed on the shore within 100 yards of
where the writer's mother lived and that
It should be picked up by one of his own
family and taken home Had any novel
let dared TO picture a message delivered
as this was by means of an ocean cur
rent. every reader and certainly every
critic. would have denounced the out
rageous demand on faith. And yet the
apparently impossible actually occurred
in Canna.-Good Words.

The Eye of the Needle.

Elias Howe almost beggared himself
before he discovered where the eye of
the needle of a sewing machine should
be located. His original idea was to fol-
low the model OF the eye at the heel. 1t
never occurred to him that it should be
placed near the point. and he might have
failed altogether if he had not dreamed
he was building a sewing machine for a
savage king in strange country. just
as in his actual waking experience he
was rather perplexed about the needles
eye. He thought the king gave him
twenty -four hours to complete a ma
chine and make it sew. IL not finished
in that time death was to be the punish
ment. Howe worked and worked, and
puzzled and puzzled, and finally gave it
up. Then he thought he was taken out
to be executed. He noticed that the
warriors carried spears that were pierced
near the head. Instantly came the So
luton of the difficulty, and while the in
ventor was begging for time he awoke.
1t was four o'clock in the morning. He
jumped out of bed. ran to his workshop,
and by nine needle with an eye at the
point had been rudely modelled After
that it was easy. This is the true story
of an important incident ia the inven-
ton of the sewing machine-PAiladel-
qOkaa Times.

and. supposing it to be Monroe's track,
he followed it as far as he could distin-
guish it. Then he went home, satisfied
he had seen the footsteps of the greatest
man in the country. When he was an
old man little girl in Pennsylvania
wrote to him inquiring about his child
hood on the farm. These passages are
from his reply:
II think at the age of which thy note
enquiries found about equal satisfaction
in an old rural home with the shifting
panorama of the seasons. in reading the
few books within my reach, and dream
ing of something wonderful and grand
in the future. Neither change nor loss
had then made me realize the uncer-
tainty of all earthly things. l felt Sc
cure of my mothers love, and dreamed
of losing nothing and gaining much. y
had at that time great thirst
for knowledge and little means to crafty
it. The beauty Of outward nature early
impressed me, and the moral and the
spiritual beauty of the holy lives l read
of in the Bible and other good books
affected me with sense OF my falling
short and longing for better state. y

WANDAROO MONKEYS.

"a band of Wandaroo monkeys hooted
in the distance, and, as their watchful-
ness is proverbial. we knew that there
was no leopard at hand" says writer
in Outing. "They came nearer and
nearer, and in time appeared above the
cliff. One seldom has the chance of OBJ
serving the animals in their native state,
but as we lay concealed they were ignor-
ant of our presence. 1t was evidently
feeding time, though some seemed to
prefer basking on the heated rocks to
scrambling after lichens and berries.
The old men with huge white whiskers
kept sharp watch from the highest
branches of couple Of trees. The moth
ers with their babies, pretty little things
covered with white hair, were feeding in
complete security, while the unincum-
bered members of the troop ran around
everywhere. We felt sure that sooner
or later our hiding place would be dis
covered, and that all our precautions
were in vain. for the cry Of alarm of one
animal is often recognized by another Of
different species. When any monkey
seemed inclined to wander the sentinels
uttered deep Hoo 90 hoov which
gathered the band closely.
"All at once one of the sentinels gave
peculiar cry. which had the effect of
bringing the entire band around them.
Then they listened in silence. The cry
was repeated, and all bounded into the
branches Of the biggest trees near by.
We thought we had been discovered, but
when half a dozen of the patriarchs
suddenly rushed down and looked over
the edge of the rock, grimacing and
barking at something below, we knew
that our patience was to be rewarded.
Creeping forward, inch by inch, got
to the extreme edge and peeped over,
and as l did so the awful height of the
precipice nearly caused me to utter cry
OF terror. To my left was a crevice
where racks and other debris formed a
rough means of ascent. Here, half con
cealed by kite tool palms that had found
foothold, was cat like form, standing
motionless, gazing upward at the mon
keys, evidently calculating the chances
OF meal"

What is Styles

What we call style is almost precisely
Synonymous with what the French call
chic. Either word means much or little,
anything and everything, is definite to
the mind and indefnable to the tongue.
No one expects to find what is chic out
side of Paris. No New Yorker. at least,
expects to find style much beyond the
fifty mile radius with Central Park as a
centre. What the Parisienne is to the
Old World the Manhattanese is to New
York. The latter is rarely born where
she makes her home. She comes from
every part of the republic. from North.
South, East and West. from city, village
and hamlet. to the great municipal
school of art, fashion, manners and re-
ceives there the coveted degree of M. s.,
Mistress of Style. So. il che reflects
lustre upon herself she reflects lustre in
way on the whole country. showing
what any American may become under
properly plastic agencies and in aiming
at her own.
The mistress of style must be, in re-
gard to the multitude. as one in hun
dred; but she is familiar figure in every
cultured household, and creature to be
esteemed, to be admired. to be patterned
after. She is not only the woman of the
present. she is the woman of the future
as we'll. for the future cannot eclipse
her.-Harper's Bazaar.
