The nr,l,,.ut student,, pI1emw..

A Harvard student told me an anus.
hg story about himsef the other day.
It seems that recently his mother had q
young lady guest at their home on the
Back Bay, and when he came from col
lege in the afternoon he was introduced
to her. At dinner also she sat opposite
him at the table. He paid little atten-
ton to the fair visitor, as his mind was
engrossed with problem in his lessons.
However, his brothers were as assiduous
as possible in entert lining her. AS it
happened, the latter had engagements
out that evening, and, as Mrs. A. had
promised Miss B. to have one of her sons
take her to the theater, it fell to the lot
Of my friend George, the Harvard man.
He accepted the situation gracefully,
and in due time the young couple set of
for the theatre. Arriving, George left
his companion at one side of the lobby
while he stepped up to the box Office and
purchased the tickets; then, turning
about, he looked toward the place where
he had parted from the young lady, and
was surprised to see half dozen there,
and-ye gods! is it possible?-he could
not tell which was his precious charge!
Here was dilemma.
George said he Immediately decided
that rather than risk speaking to the
wrong person, he would stand still till
the young lady spoke to him. So he
gazed at his tickets for what seemed to
him an age, but was probably only a
minute, when Miss B. came up and said,
II fear you did not recognize me-" "Oh;
yes-yes-" stammered George, equivo-
rating-"yes, l did; thought they had
aot given me the seats asked for, and
was considering what was best to do in
che matter. Boston Herald.

A Glimpse of New England Life.

Apropos of character sketching are
the following little bits of New Eng
land life seen on a train the other
day. A couple of middle aged coun-
try women entered the car at way
station. One, dressed in seamworn
black and carrying a bright yellow
pumpkin took the inside seat, and
her companion, settling herself on the
extreme edge of the remaining half,
arranged various bundles comforta-
bly, around her. Presently they en-
tered into conversation. ''Hev you
seen Mis- Brown lately9" inquired she
of the bundles. "Why, hevn't you
heard2" returned the owner of the
pumpkin.
Her voice sounded aggrieved. Mis-
Brown an I don't speak jest now,
she went on. "It happened like this.
Twas at the last sewing circle. We
were sittin side by side out to supper,
an when the biscuits come along I
broke mine open an says to her,
We'll. must say I've eat better bis
cults n these. Amt they spotted2' 2
Well, them were Mis- Browns biscuit
an since then she. and me amt
spoke" ''You don't say" commented
her companion. Hadn't Christians
oughter to be careful Boston Ad-
vertiser.

A New Fruit Drier.

Messrs. Mems & Koontz have fruit
| drying establishment in good running
order, and are prepared to handle from
| three to six tons of green fruit day,
the amount depending on the kind and
condition of the fruit. A TINES
MOUNTAINEER reporter visited the
plant tuesday, but at the time it
was not running except as an expert
! ment on small lot of plums. The
drier was started last Thursday, its
first run being on a lot of green cages
for Mr.. Stadelman which dried nicely
and yielded we'll. A small quantity of
petite prunes have also been dried and
look ''goOd enough to eat," in their
boxes. The plums do not dry well,
being too watery, and too easily
burned. The prune season has but
fairly commenced, and it is expected
the drier will be kept running to it's
fullest capacity from now until the
close of the season. Instead of using
the lye bath to crack the skins, as has
been the practice heretofore, an Acme
perfecter and grader is used. This is
machine of recent invention, that
has caught all the California fruit men,
and is pronounced perfect. Its feat
ures are an inclined table made with
beveled Stats running lengthwise of
the table and set about an inch apart,
between them is another small slat
which has slight oscillating move
ment, and is armed with small sharp
points about the size of pin, and
fourth of an inch long. AS the fruit
travels down over these the skin is
punctured in dozens of places, and as
they drop off the end of the table they
run over grader which sorts them
and delivers them on the trays below.
Rooms are also provided for treating
the fruit with sulphur if it is desired.
The drier is Mr.. Mems invention, and
is built on the principle of the Ferris
wheel, each cage being provided with
a double tier of shelves, and the wheel
being enclosed in a tight room over
the furnace, the revolving wheel brings
each tray in. turn to the bottom and
nearest the heat, insuring an equal
amount of heat to every portion of
the fruit. The drier is located on the
block south of the Mays stone resi-
dence and will well repay visit by
those who are curious to know how
some things are done, especially when
they are done to a turn as is the case
with the fruit that goes into the Mems
& KOontz drier.

Value of the Atmosphere

Careful experiments have shown
that the rate per second at which
bodies acquire velocity in falling
through the air is 80 feet per second
at the end of the first second from
starting. At the end of the next
second it is going at the rate of "a
feet per second, and so on through
the whole time of falling. Where
the velocity is known the space
through which the body has fallen
may be ascertained by multiplying
the velocity at that period by the
number of seconds during which it
has been falling and dividing the
result by two. This rule applies,
however, only to bodies falling
through vacuum.
The resistance of our atmosphere
materially retards raindrops, hail
stones, aerolites and all other bodies
which fall through it, and were it not
for the resistance it presents every
rainstorm would be disastrous to the
human race, as each drop would fall
with velocity great enough to pene-
trate the full length of a full grown
mans body.-London Nature.

shahespeare's Eyebrow

Miss Sarah W. Gillette of Evans
ton, Ills, rejoices in the possession Of
what she believes to be Shakespeare's
eyebrow.
Miss G. father, the late Dr. Fl. C.
Gillette, bought the relic from R. G..
Oaks of England. In 1851 Oaks was
1eputed to carve an olive wreath to
sncircle bust of Shakespeare. AT
that time the Duke of Devonshire
owned the Kesselstadt death mask of
Shakespeare.
This death mask had been discov-
cred in pawnbroker's shop in Kes-
selstadt and pronounced to be a
Shakespearean mask.
Oaks was permitted to use the mask
in making the laurel wreath. He

Ezra Meeker, of Puyallup, one of

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

The French republic is quarter of
a century old today. That is a vener-
able age for form of government in
France. There has been nothing in
the past hundred years to comparS
with it. All the revolutionary govern
ments put together, from the founda-
ton of the first republic to the fall OF
Napoleon, did not last so long. The
constitutional monarchy of 1871 en-
dured in name for one year. The re-
public Of 1892 lasted, through all the
turmoils of the convention, the COM
mittee of public safety and the direct
ory, for seven year, or, if the consulate
be included, for nearly twelve years.
The first empire had a life of nine
years, with a resurrection OF three
months more. The legitlmist mon
archy lasted for sixteen years, with
the break of the hundred days. The
burgeois monarchy of Louis Philippe
held out for eighteen years. The Sec
ond rephblic had shadowy existence
of four years, and the empire that fol-
lowed maintained it's footing for eigh-
teen. Then came the present repub-
lie, which has already lasted for twen-
ty-fve years, and is stronger now than
ever before.
The past quarter of a century has
been, with hardly an exception, the
longest period of peace that France
has ever known, Since the fall OF the
Paris commune in the first year of the
republic, there has been nothing,
within or without, to disturb seriously
the tranquility of the French people.
There have been little wars, of course,
in AMMAN, China, Madagascar, and
elsewhere, but nothing that has really
affected the life of France. 1.-THE en-
pire is peace" said Napoleon III, and
proved it with four great wars in IL
years, the last of which destroyed his
dynasty and robbed the country of two
provinces. The republic has made no
professions, but it has maintained
peace for nearly 25 years.
At the time of its birth, the third
republic was confronted by three
powerful faction of domestic enemies.
The Renapartists, Legitmists and Or
leanists together commanded major
ity of the nation, or at least of its rep
resentation. Now the blood of the
Bonapartes hos oozed out into the gut
ters, until there is no longer Bona
partist party worth fighting. The
Legitimists have lost their head, and
their faction, united with that of the
Orleanists, is no longer as formidable
as either one was alone 20 years ago.
In fact, the pretender to the throne is
said to have given up the struggle,
convinced that the republic is a per-
manency.
From present appearances, the only
thing that can overthrow the republic
can form of government in France is a
foreign war. A successful general
might possibly be able to initiate the
example of Napoleon, but he must
be the real article. An imitation gen.
eral will not do, as Boulapger dis
covered.-San Francisco Examiner.

"A REsc1E THAT COST A LIFE.
He Saved the Young Lady, but Slipped and
Was Dashed to Pieces.

He Saved the Young Lazy, out ShPPeu anu
Was Dashed to Pieces
witnessed most heroic incident
MANY years ago. In 1866 two ladies
and two gentlemen went over the
Susquehanna river, opposite small
town in Pennsylvania, to place call
ed Peter Steps. Toget to Peter Steps,
which is on bluff $50 feet high, you
had to go by back road. On top of
the steps were two tall pine trees,
eight feet apart, and to tie a rope to
the trees and swing out over the
bluff was the object of the party.
After the gentlemen had been swing
ing some time one of the ladies want
ed to swing. Annie, a beautiful girl,
got in the swing, and after short
time she exclaimed: ''Give me good
push. want to go out so l can see
the road below" We did so, when
snap went the rope, and with terri
BILE scream Annie went crashing down
on the rocks.
Almost scared to death we ran to
the road below We could not see
Annie, but ON looking up there she
was. Her clothes had caught on a
small scrub oak tree, and she was
hanging between heaven and earth.
By this time crowd had gathered
on the road below. Everybody was
excited and was wondering how to
get her from her perilous position.
Just at this time Harry Saylor came
running up the road. Seeing what
was wrong, he went up the back road
to the pine trees, and catching the
rope that was used for the swing de-
scended.
But, alas, the rope was too short
He did not wait for a longer one, but
inch by inch he picked his way to the
oak tree, and by the greatest .exer-
ton he managed to get her to the
base of the tree Once there even he
dared not leave go of Annie or the
tree. In the mean time longer rope
was procured, and tying it around
Annie's waist she was landed safely
above. Not so with Harry. When
near the top, he slipped. Down he
went, landing on the rocks below, a
bruised and bleeding mass.
Gently and tenderly was he taken
home, but his work on earth was
done. On the stone that stands at
the head of his grave are these words,
"Sacred to the memory of man who
bravely gave his life for another."-
Cor. New York Press.
