CHAPTER VII.

Mrs. Rnttcn Gets a New LodGer
For several hours after Josiah Skin
ner had left her. Zana sat staring into
the fire as though the warmth of the
glowing embers could pass through her
eyes and so thaw her frozen heart.
She was trying to think, 10 realize
what Ernest's deSertion meant TO her,
To decide upon some course of action.
But she could not. Her brain seemed
numbed and incapable of travelling be-
yond the one deadly fact that her
lover had. for the second time, aban-
doned her
The entrance Of Il servant with after
noon tea at length aroused her from
this state OF dreamy stupor: and, with
the awakening, anne a sudden impulse
to quit her present abode. 1t was some
how borne in upon her that, whatever
her future plans might be, they would
NO longer include the supervision of
Mrs. Baxter.
Il wish TO have my bill this even

Certainly. miss" was the reply.
Zana drank some OF the tea and
then followed Mr.. SINNERS advice by
going out for a walk. But somehow
she felt weak and unequal t the task

ticed that several ladies were seated
upon the roof, doubtless for the sake
of fresh air. This she also needed. and
she, too, would ride on the roof. Per
haps the fresh air and the novelty of
the ride would help to clear her poor.
clouded brain. Certainly, anything
was better than to sit brooding over a
fire in the hotel.
1t is a long drive from Clmring Cross
10 Hammersmith. The unwonted sights
and sounds around her resulted in lii
verting Zana's mind, for the time ar
least, from the full depth of her mis-
cry; and 10y the time the omnibus
reached its destination she had some
what regained the power of thought.
She a~scertained that she could re-
turn 10 Charing Cross by another bus
up to a late hour, and then. obeying
some wandering instinct, she walked

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The barking of dogs on the earth
can be distinctly heard by balloonists
at an elevation of four miles.
The waitress in Boston is compelled
to work from IL to Is hours per day
and in some instances with no Sundays
or afternoons off, for $3.50 per week.
There is now before the city council
of Cleveland, o., an ordinance providing
that all contractors who submit bids
for work must pay a minimum wage
of $3.50 per day, eight hours to consti-
tute days work.
There has been watch making at
Coventry as long as there has been
watch trade in England, which is for
the last 200 years or whereabouts. There
used to be three centers of the English
trade, these being Liverpool, Coventry
and London. Now there are practically
but two, Coventry and Birmingham.
Ana American named Floyd claims to
have accidentally discovered a sub
stance which, when once ignited, can
not be extinguished by water or other
means, but will burn itself out. 1t is
easily and cheaply made, but the discov-
erer, afraid of the misuse to which it
might be put, refuses to disclose the
secret of the ingredients.
That not only animals but plants
also will have some of their juices or
liquids freeze in the winter time is
well known. Twigs will snap easily
when the thermometer is below zero,
and ice crystals can be readily discerned
by the microscope. But the question,
asks Meehan's Monthly, is do they
freeze solid? The contention is that the
active living cells cannot do this, and
still live.

NO DANGER IN GRAPE SEEDS.
Much Dreaded Appendicitis Not to BE
Caused by Them.

There is a popular and false notion
that appendicitis is caused by a grape
seed, an orange seed or some other for
eign substance getting into the vermi-
form appendix. The true cause is the
setting up Of inflammation and conse-
quent gangrene in the tissue of the
appendix, usually due to insufficient
circulation of blood in the part
itself. In thousands of operations
which have taken place-many in
time to save the life of the patient, and
many too late-there is not one authen-
ticated case of a foreign substance, such
as a seed, being found in the appendix.
This win be more fully realized when
one has in mind that the interior of the
appendix is only big enough to admit
a medium-sized darning needle. Its
great liability to disease is due entirely
to its low order of vital resistance.
That is, it is an organ which appears to
have no actual use in the present MAJ
chinery of man, but in its earlier stages
of mans development it is believed to
have been q large pouch that played an

disuseit has gradually shrunk to its pres
ent dimensions, and is known to science
as a vestigial organ, one which is only
a remnant of its former self, and pos
sessing but vestige of it's original
functions.
This becomes clear if some other parts
of the body which now seem to have no
use are considered. The tonsils are in
this class, and also the wisdom teeth,
and both are peculiarly subject to dis
ease.-N. Y. Journal.

The Home Merchant.

Those who are going to Spokane
to the Fruit Fair should read the
following, and give it serious con-
sideration:
"Who is the home merchant?"
asks an exchange. He is the man
who helps pay for the streets on
which you walk; for the school in
which your children or perhaps
you were educated; he helps to
keep up the church in which YOU
worship; he is the man who builds
a home that enhances the value of
your own property; every subscrip
ton paper that is passed has his
name upon it; he is the only one
who cannot afford to swindle you
self interest if nothing else would
prevent this; he bears his share Of
the good government, stays with
you in sunshine and darkness
Paste these facts in your hat, and
then stop and consider whenever
you are tempted to send away fol
anything kept in your own town.

Thinks Dead Issue.

Hon. John ". Caldwell. one Of the most
distinguish and influential demo-
Gratis of Kentucky. who represented the
T-nlrd district of that state in congress
with great credit to himself and satisfac-
ton to his constituents, has written a let
ter. which appeared in the Louisville
Courier-Journa last Monday, in which he
declares that in his opinion free silver
coinage is a dead issue. Mr.. Caldwell was
an earnest advocate of free silver coin
age as far back as 1876, and he earnestly
supported Mr.. Bryan last year, because
of Mr.. Bryan's position in respect to sill
yer. There are features of the Chicago
platform to which Mr.. Caldwell is oppos-
ed, but he accepted the platform because
of the silver plank it contains.
In the course Of his letter he says he
has frankly admitted that he sees mo hope
for the free coinage of silver" He says
also that he knows quite well that never
again can Mr.. Bryan. as the advocate of
free silver, array behind him the forces
that supported his canvass in 1886"
In Mr.. Caldwells opinion the issue in 1900
viii be fiat money and the government
control OF the railways unless the demo-
cratic party gets together before that year
and opposes further Capitalization of pow
er in the general government. reaffirms
the doctrine of tariff for revenue only and
devises some plan of financial reform upon
which 1t can unite. The populists have,
in his opinion, practically abandoned free
silver as an issue, and if the democrats
unite with them in 1860 it must be on their
own terms, namely, fat money and the
government ownership of the telegraph
and transportation lines. The republican
party will, of course, stand for sound
money and a protective tariff and will
oppose government ownership of the rail-
way and telegraph lines.
Are these views of the distinguished
Kentuckian entitled to much considera-
ton? It seems to us they are. In New
York city, it is claimed that Henry George
Is the regular democratic candidate for
mayor. He certainly has the support of
those who indorse Mr. Bryan and the Chi
cago platform. On Monday, in an inter
view, he said he was not advocate of
free silver coinage, but that he did favor
fiat money. 1t is true, of course, that Mr..
George is not a candidate for federal
office but national politics is neverthe-
less being thrust into the municipal cam
paign of Greater New York If Mr..
George should be elected he would exert
powerful influence in shaping the ma
tional democratic platform in 1900
Mr. Caldwelrs letter win not, in an prob
ability, attract much attention outside of
Kentucky, since there is no national tick
ct to be voted for this fall, but it is
letter that is well calculated to set those
who are concerned about the future of
the democratic party to thinking

Outwitted the Laird.

In the absence of a family, says Spare
Moments, the private grounds of a certain
Scottish lord were often used by the ma
tives of the two neighborlng villages, as
thereby a saving of fully a mile was eff
fected.
Occasionally, too, when his lordship was
at home, attempts were made to run the
blockade for, whenever any trespasser
was caught by his lordship he had to
obey the command to "go back the way
he had come.
A local hawker, when cautiously wheel
ing his barrow along the forbidden path
one day, happened to see his lordship be
fore the latter saw him, and coolly turn
ing the barrow round sat down with his
back to the dreaded laird, who, coming up,
gave him a severe reprimanding and then
ordered him to wheel about and go back
by the road by which he had come"
The willy hawker did as he was hidden,
thereby turning his barrow In the direc-
ton in which he wished to go, and so
effectually outwitting the unsuspecting
laird. ...
