Miss Martling was there in company
with her lawyer, but she sat apart from
her adversary, and, beyond friendly
nod, they held no intercourse together.
One case in court is very much like
another, and the case of Martling ver-
,sus Quimby did not offer any remark
nble features till the very end, when
II decision in favor Of the plaintiff was
given and Nathaniel's counsel asked, in
an audible whisper, II he should give
notice of appeal.

fight it. She can have the ship" Then,
without waiting for the commiseration
CT the landlord Of the tavern or any of
his Taggert Station friends, he set off
for the Neck, attended, as usual, by
the faithful Moses.
Miss Martling was congratulated, but
she was not satisfied. She had won

tell herself that justice had been done,
but all the time she seemed to see
Nathaniel Quimty sitting disconsolate
under the crooked Eee, and looking at
the house he had moved with such la
Dor and would have to move back.
Then, too, she considered the expense
it was going to be to him. 1t did seem
u shame that he should be put to that
cost.
Nathaniel and Moses were deep in
consultation over their defeat and its
consequences, when the latter rose with
IN expression of disgust on his
weatherbeatcn face.
"There's that woman again. Looky

stumped away in huff, but Nathaniel,

The interview at the start bid fair
to be embarrassing. At last the visitor

SILYER'S DEATH BLOW.
HOUSE KILLS THE SENATE SUBSTl-
TUTE OF 21S TO 80.
The Two Senators From Georgia Arrayod
Against Each Other-Tho silver Vote
Was rs Republicans, 5S Democrats
and the Populists.

Washington Feb. 1i.-By a vote of 2l5
to 80 the House to-day after debating the
matter for almost two weeks, decided that
1t would not concur in the Senate free sill
yer coinage substitute for the bill of the
House authorizing bonds TO maintain
the gold reserve sales of treasury certih-
Gates to meet temporary deficiency In rev.
enue and providing additional revenue
for the treasury. The closing debate was
notable principally because of the fact
that the principal speeches for and against
free coinage of silver were made by two
democrats both members of the commit
tee on ways and means and both from
Georgia, Messrs. Crisp and Turner respec-
lively. The closing speech against the
Senate substitute was made by Mr.. Dali
zell, rep, Pennsylvania. The speeches
were of unusual length and throughout
the speakers were heard with attention
and apparent interest, the novel specta-
Gle of Messrs. Crisp and Turner arrayed
against each other being strong factor
in the case.
When the debate haid been concluded,
the previous question was ordered and at
the suggestion or Mr.. Dingley, rep,
Maine, IN order that there might be no
misunderstanding twas put in this form
Shall the House concur In the Senate
substitute.
The roll was called amid extraordinary
quiet and at it's conclusion the cause Of
absence of those not present was stated
by their colleagues, so great was the anx-
iety to have the records show the attitude
Of every member toward the proposition.
A study of the vote shows that 20 republic
cans, S. democrats, one silverte and all
the populists present voted in favor of
free coinage; and 1874 republicans and 81
democrats against it. The democratic
vote against free coinage was six greater
than the republican vote for it.

Miss Martling looked down, at her
dress, at her hands, at the photograph
1T everything except Nathaniel's
anxious eyes. But there was not a line
Of dspleasure in her face as she re-
piled, irrclevantly:
"Why, Mr.. Quimby, that was ono
thing | wanted to talk with you about.
You might just as well keep the Molly
II. as not, now that the principle of the
thing is established"
But Nathaniel got hold Of her hand,

Martling, don't you know-that is not

An hour afterwards Mosec, thinking
she had gone, came to find Quimby.
Then he went away again.

Real Fire is Invisible.

No eye, says a scientific writer,
has ever seen real fire. The flame is
leaping in strange, fantastic form,
Is or 20 inches upward from the
coal and with it is a good deal OF
black, sooty smoke. The sooty
smoke and the flames are one and
the same, with only difference of
temperature. The SCOT which forms
the flame is red hot. Every particle
of the flame is red hot coal or a par
ticle of the carbon. The real fire we
do not see. The instant that the
carbon atoms become really burned,
eaten up by the oxygen Of combus-
ton, they are invisible. In burning
three pounds Of carbon, the heated
state of which gives US flame, the
fire work is done by eight pounds of
oxygen. The oxygen we do not see.
The carbon we only see just before it
is burned; and the result of the burn
ing is II pounds of the compound of
oxygen and carbon which is invisible.

Ever buy premium coins?" asked
a conductor on a Washington avenue
car of a reporter a few days ago.
The reporter said that he considered
himself in pretty good luck to be
able to pay car fare, without indulg-
ing in the luxury of coins whose
value was increased by their scar
city, and the conductor drew forth a
handful of coins from an inner pocket,

AS the conversation proceeded the
conductor informed the reporter that
a large number of the conductors on
the Lindell system are in the habit
of examining each coin received by
them during the day, and the results
are often quite profitable. All of
them are well acquainted with the
prize coins extant, and they are
often able to add greatly to their
spending money by keeping their
eyes open during the time they are
on duty. The conductor who is re-
sponsible for this stated that during
the two trips he had made that day
he had secured six ive-cent pieces
which would bring % cents each,
and a dime which was worth so
cents. 1--WE keep posted on these
coins, he explained, land we often
make good catch. Only the other
day got hold of dime that brought

FLOATING HOSPITALS
Proposed Use in the Treatment Of
Tuberculous Disease.

L
1t is some time since M. O. Mot
schoutkovsky first advocated the
provision of floating sanatoria for
people threatened with tuberculous
disease or suffering from incipient
forms thereof, but quite lately he
has returned to the subject with re-
newed enthusiasm, says the London
Lancet In the opinion Of this
jealous hygienist the scheme he has
theoretically organized down to the
minutest detail is certain sooner or
later to prove triumphant success.
According to his plan the isola-
ton of a dangerous class can be eff
feetively carried out with the least
possible amount OF discomfort to its
members; and he likewise maintains
that by judicious timing of moves
it will be necessary to afford the suf-
ferers an excellent chance of recov-
cry under the very best and most

PERSECUTION OF SMOKERS.
Barbarl,ies TO Which They Were Sub
iscted in Early DAYS.

While Englishmen smoked and
laughed at their kings wondroes
ways or growled at his tenacious
grip upon their pockets, eastern pc
tentates were treating their subjects
as only despots can for daring to in
dulge in the Frankish novelty, says
the Gentleman's Magazine. In Per-
STA, where but recently jealous strife
ragged for sole possession of the to
bacco trade, Abbas l., of dread mem
DRY, cut off the lips of those who
smoked and the noses of any who
ventured to snuff. On one occasion
he threw an unfortunate man whom
be discovered selling tobacco into a
fire along with his goods. Yet, by
and by, this demon OF cruelty him
self was enthralled by Nicotina's
charms and became one of her most
fervent devotees. The Turks, under
Amurath w., were similarly pun
ished for infringing his edict against
smoking. Sir Edward Sandys, of
Pontefrac, in his travels in 1910,
bears testimony to similar acts OF
cruelty by Mohammed w, During
his stay in Constantinople he wit
messed the punishment of sturdy
Turk VINO had boc;. caught selaeing
the burden of life with the vapor of
his new-found Joy. Short-lived,
however, was his happiness; he was
dragged before the tribunal and con-
demned to the torture Of having a
hole pierced through the cartilage of
his nose and pipe inserted therein.
Then, in order to render the punish
ment more impressive to the multi
tude, he was seated on the back Of
an ass with his face to the tail and
driven through the streets of the
city, while criers proclaimed his Of
tense and its merited punishment &C
cording to the law of the sultan.
Not less cruel were the barbarities
inflicted upon Russian subjects, who,
under Gar Michael Fedorowitz, were
publicly knouted for using tobacco
in any form-in some instances their
nostrils being split open. If guilty
Of a second offense, death alone could
wipe out the crime. The ambassa-
lors of the duke OF Holstein, who
visited Moscow in 1884, relate that
Jhey were eve witnesses of q public |
exhibition of this kind, when eight |
men and one woman were punished |

or1ned that houses in Moscow had
