strain on a somewhat eXcitable tempera-
ment, had proved too much for her. For
the first and last time in her life she
tainted.
Her father carried her in his arms over
the threshold which he had never thought
to repass into her own ...ue room, and
laid her on the bed. Old Pengelly fol-
lowed him, not so much on Peggys ac-
count as because he could not bear TO
lose sight of his son, so miraculously
given back to him from the dead.
The girls cloak was flung on chair.
Pengelly absently took It up and found II
quite wet; he saw, too, pair OF shoes
with mud all over them on the floor. He
was not marvellously quick of compre-
hension, but even before Peggy had OPP
ened her eyes he knew why 1t was the
COW was found by Trevenna at the har-
Dor mouth. 1t was Peggy who had worked
what they had taken for a miracle.
The girl came round before long, and
then they all had breakfast In the kitchen.
Mrs. Maberley went In and out in Open
mouthed establishment at the things she
heard. As for Peggy, she was silent from
awe and wonder. 1t seemed that her
father and one or two of his mates had
swum to a little island for two and a
half years, but at last a ship calling for
water had taken them off to South Amer
lea, and they had worked their way home
on an English vessel bound for Ports
mouth.
Peggy had been child when last her
father went away but now she was al
most a woman. She knew as she watched
him and listened to his words that she
had found some one whom, next to Tom
she would be able to love. and refofced
accordingly AS to old Pengelly she
scarcely knew him. Indeed the advent
OF his son, and perhaps the knowledge
Of what had been averted, had worked a
curious change IN him. But II he had be-
come his former self he had not lost his
pride. He said nothing to Peggy about
her last nights work, only he paid Mrs
Toms literally for the loan of her cow
1t was as well, for the poor thing died
as the result OF its long exposure.
Sam never knew that he might have
been wrecked within sight Of home by
his own father, and he never knew whar
he owned to Peggy. But the unspoken
secret seemed to make the latter and the
old man better friends. It broke her
fear of him and his dominion over her
Indeed he became altogether less formid-
able. The only time When he was terri
bic was when there was any talk OF
wrecking, and then he was known to
burst into wrath that surprised the lis
teners except perhaps Trevenna, who had
his reasons for understanding.

John Ruskin is evidently near the end
Of his life. His memory is gone complete

of starvation. He has given away enor-

a fact that his generosity has left him
comparatively poor.

Sir John Millais' Versatility.

For q period of nearly so years Millais
had been before the public as an artist, and
for the greater part Of that time he has
sustained his reputation as the greatest
painter of his day. He has painted his
tory, romance, poetry, landscape, portrait,
and has made his mark In each. No one
else has attempted SO wide range OF sub
iects, few have shown greater variety Of
Invention or approached him in his COM
mand over tools and materials. 1t Is only
within the last few years that he has shown
any decline Of power, and 1t was only the
other day that Mr.. Watts, his great col
league, observed to me of one of his pic
lures in the present exhibition OF the
Royal academy (1S96) that as painting it
was Gas good as ever" His art Is In no
sense ideal His imagination cannot body
forth things unknown or rise to any great
heroic height He has never attempted to
represent rapid or violent action, but in
side these lines his powers are splendid
and exuberant.
An almost matchless craftsman, COL
! orist of great truth and force, a painter OF
| extraordinary initiative power, with a
handling not always pleasant perhaps,
| but of the utmost sureness and freedom,
he has left body of work which both
for quantity and quality has scarcely
been eoualed in modern art. Indeed, the
whole Of his work has been SO sincere and
full of fresh life, 1t reflects SO forcibly his
own personality and the living spirit Of
his day, that 1t is difficult to believe that
it can ever become uninteresting to pos
terity.-Cosmo Monkhouse in Scribner's.

Repairing Asphalt Pavements.

The tearing up of asphalt pavements
for the laying Of subway, water and gas
pipes and for sewer connections Is one OF
the knottiest problems with which the
public works departments have to deal.
Builders have right to these connections
which cannot be abridged, and corpora
tions obtain rights for street disturbance
which the city authorities find 1t difficult
to combat. While Ii is usually made COM
pulsory to obtain permit for such work,
and the parties are compelled to restore
the pavement in kind after the break Is
made, the filling put in almost invariably
settles in time, and the street surface sinks
with 1t, leaving long hollow In the pave
ment The attempt is now being made In
several large cities to appeal to the pockets
of the offending parties by making the
cost Of repairs as excessive as Is reasonably
possible, in the hope that this cost will
discourage any but the most necessary
openings.
Brooklyn has just framed regulation
requiring not only proper refllling and
ramming of the trench, but also the lay
ing of eight inches of Portland cement
concrete under the paving surface. 1t is
expected that this concrete will bridge the
| opening and prevent surface settlement
even when the filling beneath does sink.
| But the new regulation also adds most
materially to the cost and nature of the re-
pairs, and tends to place this work in the
hands of experienced and responsible men,
rather than to divide 1t, as now, among
many contractors. Incidentally it may be
mentioned that New York city charges

Titles indicate Duties.

Imagine o naval service in which oil the
officers of one branch are seeking TO obtain
the titles Of tho officers Of another and the
strictly military branch; to drop the titles
which they hold and which are descriptive
of their duties and assume other tides
which describe the duties Of another GLASS
of officers. Imagine further that these
same officers are also seeking the removal
of the demands and restrictions Of naval
discipline as applied to themselves. Lot
these officers use every effort to influence
public opinion and congressional action in
their favor and against the officers Of the
military branch; enlist the assistance OF
societies and unions Of men Of the same
profession as their own In civil life; send
circulars to boards Of trade; suggest that
apparatus, machinery and professors shall
be supplied to colleges at government ex-
pense; propose that certain number Of
the graduates of these colleges shall receive
each year a substantial bounty from the
government, and direct all this influence
to an attack upon tho existing organiza
ton of the service to which they belong
Would not condition of unrest and dis
content among them be expected Would
| 1t be surprising to find discipline impaired
its impulses less healthy, Its responses
more feeble?
Such ore the efforts Of the naval engi
neers today, and the propaganda finds 1t
legitimate result among engineers adoat
They are encouraged by their seniors ashor
| to think that congress will embody thei
views in legislation. These views ar
vague. They have never definitely formu
lated them or explained them. The
want "authority to command and disci
pline their men," They already have NOR
than they exercise. The principal intel
ference with the engineers force Is rer
dered necessary to carry out "comman
and discipline" vested by regulation !
their hands, but neglected or eyaded.
Their social position, like that OF tf
line and other branches, Is based on a con
mission In the United States navy, an
beyond that is precisely what each indy
dual makes for himself. They enter II
navy for certain duties, and they bear it'll
which indicate those duties. They ma
consider line titles as Of more prestige ar
, more desirable, but the organization of
great service cannot be overturned to su
the vanity of individuals. Captain r.

Trade Education.

On the subject of Education In the
Trades The Inland Printer calls atten-
ton to the thoroughness Of German train
ing In contradistinction to the technical
training given in the trades in England
and America. On technical schools in
America 1t says: 'We have number OF
technical schools, which are chiefly sup
ported by private enterprise, but the good
work they are doing is not encouraged as
it should be, nor is the vast Importance OF
their plan appreciated by workmen gener-
ally. For pioneer work in technical edu-
cation the technical club movement Is the
readiest means at hand, and the effort
originating among workmen themselves
Is assured of more favor from them than
IL 1t was the creature Of the manufacturers
or others whose capital is invested In the
arts and manufactures. Nevertheless, the
development and extension of technical
clubs throughout the arts and crafts VIII
require the aid of employers as well as the
countenance and good will of the employed,
and when the fruits Of the trade club have
been tasted the establishment of trade
schools or other plans Of trade education
will be no longer the subjects of suspicion
and jealousy, as they very largely are at
present"

In the latter part Of the last century q

she married the son Of a weaver Of Hall

money enough after awhile to build them
a home On the morning Of tho day when
they were to enter that home the young
wife arose at o'clock, entered the front
dooryard, knelt down, consecrated the
place to God, and there made this solemn
vow, "Oh, Lord, II thou wilt bless me In
this place, the poor shall have share of
it" Time rolled on, and a fortune rolled
In. Children grew up around them, and
they all became affluent. One, member

that his success came from that prayer oi

CANINE FRIEND IN NEED.
SOW the Greyhound Rescued the Little
Spaniel.

How the OreyuOunu Detcueu thc A~AN-AN

''Talk about the sagacity Of dogs"
remarked Jenkins as he scornfully sur
veyed the records of the good deeds
done by CANNES in general why, 1
saw something one day which beats the
world-something which, in addition
10 proving the reasoning power of dogs,
showed also that some Of them at least
possess a great capacity for affection for
lheir own kind. A friend Of mine up
town owns several dogs, among the lot
being a magnificent greyhound and a
diminutive spaniel, the two dogs, not
withstanding the disparity in size, be-
ing warm friends. One summer day the
dog catcher wagon was making the
rounds and, as usual, was missing the
ours while corralling the animals which
are well taken care of. 1t happened that
my friend s front gate had been left open,
and the two dogs mentioned escaped
into the street just as the wagon turned
the corner. There was a great cry on
the part Of the catchers, who grasped
their nets and made scramble for the
! little spaniel, not seeming to like the
idea of tackling the big hound. The
poor little spaniel realized her danger
and attempted to escape. She flew like
one possessed in every direction. only to
be headed off by the men with the nets
and score of small boys. She finally
halted, painting, in the middle of the
street. and one of the men approached
her with his net. 1t seemed that the lit
tie things doom was scaled.
Suddenly there was fierce bark,
and the big greyhound came leaping into
the crowd, scattering the small boys
and compelling the oatchers to take to
the wagon. The hound reached the side
of the spaniel and, taking in the situa-
tion, reached down, 'grasped his wee
companion in his capacious mouth and
I was off down the street like shot. He
didn't stop for the gate, but with O
great, graceful leap, was over the fence,
and then, gently depositing the spaniel
/ ON the ground, stood wagging his tail,
as if knowing that he had discounted
their enemies, while the spaniel gam
boiled and made the welkin ring will
her shrill barks. If that wasn't grea

Success in cooking dried fruits depends
largely upon little cooking and long soak
ing. Cover the fruit with cold water and
let it stand short time to soften any dirt
that may adhere to it. Then wash the
fruit, rubbing 1t carefully between the
hands. Thoroughly rinse the fruit and
cover it with plenty of cold water, letting
1t soak "a hours Then drain out the fruit
and to the water add half a pound of sugar
for each pound of dried fruit. When the
sugar and water have cooked clear, put In
the fruit, taking care not to crowd 1t, and
only cook it until 1t is just tender.
