A BITTER REVELATION.

A BITTER REVELATION.
The old year died amid the festivities
incident to the season, and the new year
was already week old; but still Mar
garet had not regained her old-time
spirits.
Brian was at first anxious and then
ANNOYED. 1t was too bad of Margaret
to look SO pale and thin, when he liked
to see her strong and we'll. Thus he ar
gued with mans sublime seltlshness.
II wish you would tell me what is the
matter with you, he said, rather sharply,
at brs akfast one morning. You say you
feel strong. You will not allow me to
prescribe for you, nor will you see DR..
Philips; and yet you go around looking
like ghost. I can't understand 1t.
There is no necessity for trying.
Brian. I was never rosy in my best
days, and people often grow thin from
very simple causes. viii you pass me
roll, please?"
You need not try to deceive me, put
in Brian, complying with her request.
1T is we'll enough to talk of being pale
and growing thin from simple causes.

sition. The place is dull enough, dear

cheerful, if only for my sake.

II wish you had thought of the dull

Don't quarrel. please. | don't lik'
it. II you do not find sufficient to In

and I will not bear the blame.
Her ewes flashed as that determined

Are you going to the city again?"
aYes, tomorrow. l can't stand more
than little of this life at time"

CHAPTER XIII-Contfnhed.
She bent her head, pretending to ex-
anime the cleaning stones, but raised
1t Immediately, to say rather slowly:
Tell me what you wish most, and you
shall have it.
Brian gave questioning glance at
her half-averted face. He hesitated,
but only for second. The next he had
caught her in his arms, and holding her
against his beating heart he pressed
long, passionate kiss upon her passive
lips.
She made not the slightest resistance,
though her face had grown very white.
He laid his own Interpretation upon
this sign. you are angry" he said,
allowing her to 90 at last.
mo, no, mot angry; that was your
Christmas gift.
She spoke with an effort and once
more fell to admiring her pin. Brian
watched her with longing she felt
rather than saw. TO avoid his eyes she
drew her chair closer to the fire and
buried her head in it's cushioned back.
1T is odd," remarked Brian, after an
awkward pause. Il think the world
would smile to know that husband is
| only permitted to kiss his wife on
Christmas day.
Some other time we will talk OF that,
Brian. Not now. It will only stir up
| old discords.
There is always the shadow of dis
cord between us, WAS the answer given
with sigh. Heaven knows l should
like to be different man; but as must
be what 1 am, why can we not be happy
together?"
Are you unhappy"
You know am. What pleasure can
you find in hearing me say so! You
know your love is the one thing | long
for. Yet you will kill yourself in the
interest of others, while for me-
He paused with passion more elo-
quent than words. Margaret could not

weakness benumbed her faculties, and
she waited for stronger moment &c

You speak unjustly," she said at last
with great effort. Il do not take pleas

how utterly exhausted | am, you would
spare such remarks. They pain me.

She had risen from her chair with the
last words, and with sudden trembling
swayed as though she would faint.

Imitation Mountain.

Just now, at the office Of the Geo
logical Survey they are engaged in
building imitation mountains, for the
purpose of studying the way in which
the eternal hills were formed by the
crumpling due to the contraction OF
the earth's crust. The coal basins and
other valuable mineral deposits in
many parts Of the United States have
undergone just such crumpllng, SO
that it shall resemble in consistency
the brittle rocks near the surface OF
the earth or the plastic rocks which
are in that condition because Of the
great pressure that exists even at
depths of only two or three miles, as
the case may be. The mixture is cast
in layers of given thickness by
melting and flowing it in a wooden
trough.
When each layer has hardened it
is taken out, and number of layers
thus made are superimposed one up
on the other like layers Of jelly cake,
representing geological strata. The
next process is to place the layers in
a machine, piling shot on top of them
to represent the force of gravity,
after which pressure is applied from
the ends very slowly by piston ad.
vanced with screw. This causes
them to crumple up, and under the
| artificial contraction they are found
to take precisely the forms Of noun
tain ranges like the Alleghanies.

What 1t Is and How the Indians Used to
Make Lit.

Make 1t.
When Columbus discovered America,
he found the Indians carrying on trade
from tribe to tribe with wampum. Any
thing that has value may be used as
money. In ancient Syracuse and Britain
til. was used as money, and we find that
iron vas SO used at Il time i'll Sparta,
pieces of silk III China, cattle III Rome
ana Germany, leather among the Car
thaginians, nails i'll Scotland, lead in
Burma, platinum in Russia, cubes Of
pressed tea i'll Tartary, slaves among the
Anglo-Saxons, salt il Abyssinia, etc.
Wanlpum is from an Algonquin word
meG. ing white" The Indians have
ever been fond Of ornaments, particu-
larly Of beads. They used 10 make beads
of seashells III the following way: A
fragment OF stone was with much care
worked down. to the size Of il small
nail, having one end quite pointed, and
it was then fastened to & piece Of cane
or q reed. With this simple tool the In
dian workman Clipped off a bit Of the
inside of q conch shell Or q part of the
shell Of a hard clam and rubbed it down
to the size desired. This bit of shell he
held IN his hand, placed the sharp end
of the stone against it and then turned
the stone around and around until a
hole was drilled entirely through the
shell.
The shell beads thus tcdiously manu-
featured were called warlpum. These
beads were either w Lite OF of a purple
color, the last being valued much higher
than the first. 1t was the very laborious
way Of making wampum that gave it
value. The wampum was artistically
strung upon hempen threads and used
a necklaces, bracelets ard rings. Often
it was woven into belts about 3 inches
in width and 2 feet in length.
The wampum belt served many pur-
poses. It was sent from tribe to tribe
with solemn promises and messages, it
was used in making peace, in asking for
aid III time OF war, for personal adorn-
ment and also as a circulating medi-
um." The coast tribe Indians were the
wampum makers. The interior Indians
spent their time hunting and exchanged
game of all kinds for the wampum made
by the coast tribes.
For a long time after white people
had settled in the new world small
coins were scarce and wampum was
used as change" Finally the pale
faces set up lathes BY treadles for the
purpose of making wampum quickly,
and SEQ the Indian wa,npum makers
were, rs we say nowadays. ''out Of {
job. "-Philadelphia Times.

after his stock in trade, which consisted
mainly of beer. Some people came in,
and in order to entertain them I showed
them a few tricks that I had learned.
One of them said to me that he knew a
good trick, and that if would help him
out he would show it. I was willing to
do anything / could to make it pleasant
for the company, and when he asked me
for an anger I handed him a small one
that happened to be handy. He went
over to a keg of beer and bored a hole
in it. He told me to put my thumb over
the hole. I did so, and he bored another
hole in the keg. At his request I put
my other thumb over the other hole"
"Then what did he do:"
"Then he began to treat the crowd to
everything i'll sight. All l could do was
to reason with them about their conduct.
I didn't dare take either of my thumbs
