A Photographic Bullet.

A bullet provided with a tiny photo
graphic outfit of it's own is the late in
vention of German named Herr Nee
sen. In carrying out this ingenious idea
Professor Neesen has provided bullet
which carries a miniature Photographic
plate. This plate, which is very sensi-
tive, is slipped into slit in the bullet
in such manner as to receive it's light
through pinhole in the comic or for
ward end of the muslin. In this manner
a gyrating line is traced on the plate
which is a complete record of the bull

WILT THOU BE LONG,?

Wilt thou be long? The workful day is Ger.
The wind croons softly to the sleeping sea.
At the old spot upon the lonely shore
/ wait for thee.
Home to his nest the swift gray gull is wing

Through the still dusk hear the sailors song.
Night to the weary rest from toll is bringing
Wilt thou be longP
Wilt thou be long? The darkness gathers fast.
The daisies fold their fringes on the lea.
Time is SO t1eeting, and youth will not last
Oh, come to me!
In the clear west silver star is burning,
But sad misgivings all my bosom throng.
With anxious heart watch for thy returning
Wilt thou be long?

Forcing Lemon Trees.

1t is told that a sort of outdoor fore
ing is practiced on lemon trees in Sicily
The trees are permitted to suffer from
lack of water and cultivation in sum
mer, and about Sept. 1 plenty Of water
is applied and the soil is we'll cultivated
This produces a late bloom, which re
suits in summer crop of small fruit
some five months ahead of the ordinary
Of course this is practiced only ON very
dry places where the water supply oan
be controlled

"We brought him home with us in
week or two," my friend said to me
1--WE had been walking up and down the
lawn while he told me the little story,
"and the boys soon grew very fond OF
him, but it is a curious thing that dur
ing all these five years he has been with
us now he has never grown more than
half at home here think he has been
as happy with us as he would have been
anywhere, and more dOcile, patient,
kindly natured beast than he is you
never knew, but yet he has always to
me been like dog living with broken
heart. I don't believe for my part that
he has ev9r forgotten that old master
of his, whoever he may have been, for
day or al hour since he lost him. Look
at him now. Look what a fine, human
pathos there is about that tragic, silent
face of his. Depend upon it, he is think
ing of the old story at this moment,
puzzling it all out again, remembering,
perhaps, how he saw the boat go down
and heard his masters last cry, if, in
deed, it was his last. Perhaps he may
doubt even vet whether it was. [ some
times think he has still at moments a
kind of fOrlOrn hope that the lost days
will come back again and the lost eyes
look into his once more.
We went up to him again where he
lay and stood looking at him. He was
doing, with eyes half closed, in the
sunshine, his black coat grown little
rusty now, his ears dropping, his senses
perhaps beginning to be dulled by age,
for he was old. He was not likely to live
much longer, my friend said.
AS we stood so he took no notice of
us. He was thinking of other things
perhaps in a half waking dream living
the old life again.
"Poor Brutus!'' I said once and
stopped down to smooth his grand old
head, but still he did not move or look
up.
"Ah, he doesn't care for that name, I"
my friend said. "He will answer to it
sometimes, but he knows very we'll that
he had another name once quite different
from Brutus We have never been able
to find out what it was. It is buried,
too, with all the rest of his history"
We heard the boys voices coming to-
ward us merrily and their footsteps on
the gravel under the chestnut trees. For
a moment Brutus opened his eyes at the
sound of them and gently moved his
bushy tail. Then, stretching out his
great fore paws with peaceful sigh, he
laid his head down on them and dozed
again. We left him lying SO, slumbering
calmly in the sunshine, with his dog
gish, faithful thoughts perhaps gone
dreamily back to the old days and hear
ing in sleep the old voices that were lost
to him forever in that sorrowful night
when the unknown ship went down at
sea.-Georg lana M. Craik.

RECOVERING A RING.

Virginia asked me to take her out for
a row. So of course tucked big red
cushion under each arm and straight
way went down to the boathouse, for
Virginia had promised herself to me in
marriage, and [ perforce obeyed her al
ways and implicitly, as is the custom in
such cases.
I had been staying for some weeks
with her people. who had country
house on the western shore of lake
we'll, the name doesn't matter. We had
been together a great deal, and had
learned to read Virginia's moods from
the expression of her adorable little
mouth. On this particular occasion her
lips were pressed tightly together, which
symptom meant in my code that storm
was brewing, and so, after her ladyship
had settled herself comfortably among
the cushions, I, saying nothing, sculled
steadily away from the shore for some
minutes. And besides it was one Of
those gorgeous autumn afternoons that
make one silent. Little will-o' the-wisps
Of sunlight were dancing with the rip
pies on the surface of the lake. The
trees on the shore, like coquettes who
are conscious of having lost the full
bloom Of their beauty, had dressed
themselves in gaudy suits of scarlet and
orange, as if hoping by brilliancy of
color to hide the tragedy of decay that
makes autumn so infinitely pathetic
Ever and anon an adventurous trout
would spring out of the water to look
at the deep blue of the sky, and great
golden bumblebees went buzzing over
our heads in their transit across the lake
in search of fresh plumber.
Watching these things, was almost
unmindful of Virginia's presence, and 1
started when she said sharply, you're
not very amusing this afternoon.
I smiled all answer, whereupOn she
Immediately cleared decks for action,
and said, with fine air Of irony, eff

here, you would soon find plenty to say.
I'm sure the way you went on with her
at lunch was simply disgraceful. Not
that am jealous of her. You needn't

''Brick or no brick, she's 40 if she's
day"
''She probably is day, but 4O-no.
Shall we say 39?'
This was ingenious on my part, see
ing that Virginia and both knew that
Mrs. Carruthers was not yet 26.
Virginia flushed, and looked at me
with her lower lip quivering.

LOST AT SEA.

There he lay in the sunshine, a great
black, noble animal, with his work in
this world done. I was standing at his
side looking at him when my friend
came up and joined me.

1t was not much of a story, yet it was
rather curious. About five years ago my
friend and his fam ~ were staying dur
ing the summer at a little seaside town
on tie north coast of France. It was a
quiet and rather dull place, except that
it's harbor was always lively with the
coming and going of fisher boats and
collier briggs and such like craft, the
watching Of which las quite an endless
delight to the children, who, indeed,
spent every moment they could steal
from morning to night down at the
quay, staring with all their might, AND
as often as they could doing more than
staring, at all that went on there
1t was fine, great open sea, that
even in summer was pretty rough at
times, coming tumbling often in great
waves over the beach and covering all
the pier with showers Of spray. Charlie
and Willie were always in state of
huge delight whenever those big waves
came rolling landward. They used ev-
cry morning, as soon as they went out
of bed to run to their bedroom window,
with little shOeless feet and bare legs
to see whether the white crests were
there.
Of course they never thought Of any
thing-fOr they were very small crea
tures-but of the fun that it was to SET
the leaping and rolling water, and Of
the delight of being sent scampering VI

must be rough at sea-, their father an
mother used to say sometimes in thei
hearing, especially during one wee
when the north wind blew with
strange, wild roaring and down abou
the pier the fishermen stood lookin;
through their glasses out to sea, anxious

but Willie and Charlie only grew mer
rier as the wind blew stronger. The,
thought that to be out upon the beac]
when they could not keep their footing
and when the very air was white witt

had in all their lives.
