two. Oh, why was not Pietro Fillipo
and Fillipo Pictro?
How handsome he was, and he was
but boy, and Pietro was more than 40.
She spoke her thoughts, and hope
came to Fillipo's face, and he took her
hand and began long eager whisper
ing. And at that moment Pietro CHANGED
to pass, and saw them, and hcsitated
for step or two, and scowled and
went on. They were earnest in their
whisperinss and did not see his coming
and his going.
Tomorrow then, Iessa," said TilG-
pc, "and together to ry people. He
will not know, and cannot follow"
eyes, tomorrow. " And she returned
his kiss and went bac!; to Pietro
The next morning Fic;ro was unwell.
Nothing serious, he SAID; his head
ached a little, and he was tired and
needed a rest. He would stay at home
until the evening and would then go to
Cazzio's and pluy dominoes as usual,
and be all right again i'll the morning.
So that day Tessa pushed the organ
about the streets without assistance
But during part of the morning she
rested and talked to Fillipo, who seemed
to have forsalen his barrow to follow
her Their talk resulted i'll some agree
ment, for, as he left her he said:
"Thcn Tessa, I Will be waiting at 8
with the tickets. And remember we
must catch the boat, ana you must
manage that Pietro is out, - and she re-
piled:
II will get ii; he will be at Cazzio's
at 50
At dark she returned to the court
and, as she passed, Fillipo nodded to
her from the shadow of the corner and
showed two tickets.
She climbed up tho r:cl.c:y staircase
to the room she had shared with Piotro
He was not there; it must be done at
once.
She crossed to Tie corner near the
window. The board moved easily, and
she felt for the tin box and found it,
and carried it to the lamp.
The box was very light, and fear
that it was empty save for fold of
dirty paper.
With trembling ~nscrs sAo undid the
paper, and held it to tho lamp and read
the words:
"Goodby, Tossa. hayo decided net
to wait for the fogs We VIII share now
and part. You shall have Fillipo and
L the money that was here Goodby,"
written in Pietro's rude scrawl.
and at last crossed to the house, and,
learning from the woman standing at
the door that Pietro was out, walked up
the stairway and into the room.
Then he, too, read the paper, and
his sorrow was joined to Tessa S.

ASCESTUS MAKING.


Preparing the Mineral For Its Many Inn
portant Uses.
If any readers have ever made tho ac-
quaintance of asbestus at all it, has no
doubt been in the shape of backing to
gas stove or a friedrich. Very few peo-
pie outside the trade know what enor-
nous quantities are utilized where ma
chinery is used. Tho business done in
domestic asbestus is a nero bagatelle
compared with that got through in
packing for steam boilers and engine
pistons
Asbestus in it's original state is a
fibrous mineral indigenous to Canada
and other places and is sent over here
i'll Jumps like pieces of raw slate on the
top and bottom, while tho sides are COW
cred with a fluffy substance-the fiber.
when it is palled from tho bulk You
can pick each lump to pieces with your
nails, although to look at it one would
think that nothing less than heavy
hammer would make any impression Oh
it.
When it reaches the factory, it is put
into crushors These are like the ordi-
nary mortar mixers that you see where
building operations are going on. and
tho resulting gritty, fluffy mass is
thrown into what is termed devil.
The devil tears it up with sharp
prongs and then Sits the grit from the
fluff. Tho former is used for mixing
with the asbestus in other processes,
while the latter is shot into receptacle
that reduces it to a consistency almost
as fine as cotton wool. AS it falls from
this machine it looks for all the world
like snow.
In other departments the raw asbes-
tus is crushed and then mixed with GER
tain earths to be used for covering
tho outer surfaces of steam boilers, as
bestus being a nonconductor of heat.
Then, again, large quantities of mill
board are made for packing between fire.

The Durham Elites.

Tho Durham Rites" speak Of great
store of ancient manuscripts possessed
by the house to help the monks in their
study The "Rites" go on to say how
the store included "the old anncient
written doctors Of the church, as other
profaEe authors, with divers other hClie
men S wOurl-s, so that every one dyd
studye what Doctor pleased them best,
havinge the Librairie Mt all times to go
and studye i'll, besyG2s their ca,Tells.
From the same "Ritcs" we learn that
i'll the dormitOry each monk had little
chamber to himself with window, or
Il bit Of a window, and i'll the window a
desk for books, SO that he cUUld study,
if he pleased, i'll the hours spent III the
dormitory Special directions were
given that the monks and uovices We're
not to be disturbed i'll their "carrells"
while they were studying
III their care for education in days
when all training for the young, save
i'll arms and field sports, was compara-
lively little thought of, the record of
the monastic orders is an honorable one.
Besides maintaining D song school"
the more important houses regularly
trained their novices i'll other learning;
and again, to use tho words of the
Durham Rites, yf the Maister dyd
see that any of them wcare apte to
learuynge and dyd apple his booke, and
had pregnant wyt withall, then the
Maister dyd let the Prior have intelli-
gence. Then streighteway after, he was
sent to Oxford to school" Other peo-
pie too, sent their sons to the monks
for education, which WAS sometimes
given freely and sometimes paid for.
Mention has been made of Oxford.
The Durham College, besides the
pupils sent up from the abbey, ad-
mitted regular students. A purely
monastic college as early us A. d. 1888
was founded in Oxford for l3 monks of
st. Peters abbey, Gloucester. This, be-
| fore the end Of the thirteenth century, de-
veloped into great Benedictine house
of learning, and Il long list of abbeys
united together to maintain this Bene-
dictine college ut Oxford which flour
ished until tho reformation. Quar-

A Eenefactor of His Species,

Frau Won S., we'll known for her
kindness and generosity, was waited
upon tho other day by a we'll dressed
gentleman, who spoke to her as follows:
81 wish to draw your attention,
madam, to the sad case of a poor fam
lily. The father is weak and advanced in
years, the mother is bedridden, and
their five children are clamoring for
bread. The poor creatures are about to
be turned into tho street with their
wretched belongings unless somebody
will undertake to pay their arrears of
rent amounting to 80 marks -
Frau Won S. at once went to fetch
the money, Handing it to her visitor,
she said:
= 'Now, sir. l should like to know who
you are, as you seem to take SO warm
al interest i'll these poor people
Il am their landlord, madam!"-

MARCHING BOOKS.
The slow Old PROCESS by Which the Fancy
Edges Are Mace.

Edges Are Mace.
Almost ever since the first books were
mado tho fashion Of marbloizing the
edges of many of them has been in
vogue. 1t used to be, however, that only
tho most expensive volumes - those
bound i'll full calf and el lborately let
terod-had their edges thus garnished,
but now such finishing is left, for tho
most part, for lcdgcrs, daybooks and
other blank books intended for business
use
Though long before gilt edges wo1o
thought of the ornamcnting of the plain
white edges Of books to initiate marble
was popular, there has been little or 10
change i'll the process since it's first in-
PRODUCTION.
It is generally supposed that all such
details have come under the stamp of
the boolmaker's art until there is moth
ing left i'll them 10 remind ono of their
first and earliest days, but not with
marbling. AS time has gone on the pop
ularlty of this method Of ombellishing
paper has grown less. Consequently
there has been no need to devise means
" "iiiNi. IT SOuIN! bt IIlOIt SljttNlllJ uUllG.
There have been sCmo improvements in
the original methods, but most book
binders still stick to the old way as
good enough.
Instead Of books whizzing through
machinery one after another and taking
on their marhlcd edges III some mysteri-
GUS manner, as might lo supposed, each
book is taken by hand separately and
the leaves dipped, tightly held together,
into the liquid that marks their edges
with tho many colored little veins, be-
foro tho covers are put on.
A trough about two inches deep is
filled with gum water, on the surface of
which various col0red pigments have
been thrown and disposed III various
forms with II comb and coarse wire teeth.
Tho cans Of liquid paint are ranged
along the si!Cs Of the trough, and from
them the paint is taken by dipping into
them long, soft hailhrushos that are
bold over the water and allowed to drip.
One color is put down right over the
other, and the WIDE coarse comb drag
god through them. The books are ex-
tremcly deXtcrously dipped into the wa
ter, and the colors adhcring to their
edges are set by lashing cold water over
them. But one of tho three edges at a
