She % said 20 He ~ Romantic - Ever

When we come to consider the won.
an of this time rs she stands in regard
to love, we touch the essential point of
her dissimilarity to the woman Of the
past. II . vein of romance runs
through her-and the modern woman
is often romantic, though never senti-
mental-love is still. in her estimation,
the best thing in life, bearing, never
theless, about the same relation to it as
fantasia does to an opera To her it
is luxury, essential, though delight
full, bringing with It the keenest Of
human sensations aid the most ephe-
neral. And this conviction of the
poignancy and the evanescence Of sex
ual affection lies at the very gate of
desire. at once quickening it and
quenching it.
But that sublime faith in love which
has been living spirit in the soul of
Eve throughout the ages" has gone
down before the eyes that are at last
unbandaged, and the mind whose per
ceptions have been whetted by educa.
ton into seeing life steadily and see
ing it whole. In the love of the modern
woman there is not shred of illusion,
though it lacks neither subtlety nor
intensity. Even at white heat she has
never lair de croire SON bonheur.
For the difficulty OF believing in her
lover, which wrung the heart of Mari
ana and her sister, has vanished before
the much greater difficulty of believ-
ing in herself
As matter Of fact, the instincts of
fidelity are not in her. She is not like
her grandmother, a fixed quantity. in
whom the prepossessions Of youth deep
ened as the years passed. In the good
old days life moved on leaden feet, and
love kept pace with it. A girl then
embarked on her first passion with the
hrm conviction that it was going to
last her lifetime. and as result it fire.

tically the same creature rs at twenty.
and the same love sufficed for both de.
cades- She was faithful by nature as
we'll as by obligation, and knew as
little about her sensations as a cabbage
does about its growth. Love was to
her merely the ante-chamber to mar
riage. and the idea of pursuing it for
its own sake never dawned upon her
placid soul, wherein only known gods
were deified and domestic ideals cher.

Nowadays the dust lies thick upon
all these. Life is no longer sluggish.

waters whipped to fineness, and its
stream swift. 1t has washed many
new things within her reach, new per-
spectives. new aspirations, new affec.
tions! AS her nature blossoms il
hungers for fresh food at every stage

pulse in demonstrations with al
bloom on them. How should the man

her maturity? To every season its
book and its bonnet; why not also its
love? Review.

POPULAR SCIENCE.
TRANSPARENT CURTAINS.
New Fabric Which WIN Revolutsos

q New Fabric which WIN Revolutsoslsa
the Wlndow-Blind Industry.
A new invention for the production
OF fabric for window blinds is re-
ported from Yorkshire, Eng. The
material and apparatus employed and
the process adopted in the manufacture
give fabric that is transparent from
the room, but Opaque from without.
The fabric contains linen, aluminium.
isinglass. borax, tallow, etc. The ap-
paratus contains cylinder filed with
patent classifying compound, in
which bobbins of linen yarn arc
placed. The yarn is saturated and
coated with this compound as it is
wound off the bobbins, and drawn
through an opening at the top of the
cylinder: it is then passed over roller,
situated above this opening. and down
to . series Of heating and drying
plates; then around another roller, to
the rewinding arrangement of the
apparatus. where the yarns are
wound upon the bobbins again. and
then they are ready for knitting ma
chine
The inventor claims that this blind Is
% flexible that it can be easily rolled
up and down; that it is so transparent
that q room is not darkened when it il
drawn; that while those inside a room
can see through the blind almost as
perfectly as though it were glass, those
outs ide cannot see inside the room. un.
less the latter is lighted most brilliant
ly and darkness prevails outside, and
that it is artistic, and therefore pleas
ing to the eye. The blinds shown are
hand-painted, but it is expected that il
the future it will be possible to print
them by machinery. and thus reduce
the expense Of production, so that the
cost of fitting windows will not be
much greater than that incurred BY

An Incline by Which Boats Arc Launched
beyond the Surf.
The society to aid shipwrecked SAIL
ors at Boulogne, France, has recently
adopted two improved life-saving APP
planes for use along the coasts. One
is an apparatus fo- launching life boats
beyond the surf line. and the other is a
new line device for carrying baskets in
which shipwrecked men are pulled
ashore. In the launching apparatus an
incline is built, as the accompanying
illustrations from ILLUSTRATION show,
from the shore a good distance out into
the water. The lifeboat is held in
horizontal position on carriage which
is let down to the water by means Of .

or more emancipated negroes who had
ceased to be her property.
Her business affairs were misman-
aged by agents and lawyers, and she
lost one plantation after another. Her
health failed. and in her old age she
became wholly dependent upon one Of
her former slaves.
This negro was grateful to her for
having given him a start after the war.
Learning from experience that she
could not manage her plantations sue

lie did not forget his old plantation
mistress in his prosperity. When she
had lost all her property, and there
was no other friend to take care of her
in her old age, this negro rescued her
from restitution. He became her most
faithful friend
Both are still living. On the first
day of every month the negro farmer
draws a check for one hundred dol.
lars, and sends it to the aged lady
whose slave he was in boyhood. At
first she was unwilling to become his
pensioner, but he pressed help upon
her with tears in his eyes, telling her
that he would never have got on in the
world if she had not generously aided
him by giving him the first farm.
His bounty is now her only recourse,
and no millionaire in the land is hap
pier than he is when payday" comes
around, and he can send his check to
his kind-hearted ''old misses
The other negroes whom she be-
friendeGfafter the war have been either
imprOvident or ungrateful, but one at
least had the energy and thrift re-
quired for making him a well-to-do
farmer, and the heart to take compass
sion on a friendless and unfortunate
woman who had once been kind to
him.
This is true story. which illustrates
the tender feeling sometimes existing
between the negro and his former mas
ter, and the gratitude which good
treatment may inspire even in de-
spised race.-Youth's Companion.

Electricity Direct from Coal.

Efforts continue to be made to con.
vert the stored-up energy of coal di-
rectly into mechanical energy without
the roundabout methods of steam and
machinery. Some electricians prophesy
. great future in this direction for
what are known as gas batteries, in
which different gases serve to gen.
crate the electricity. Experiments
which have been made, naturally on
small scale, show an energy secured
between Is and IS per cent. Of the
total available; whereas the best COM
mercial results1of present method arc
not above 10 per cent.
