II tell you, Harry. l was dead when
| left that room. The function of loco
motion was all that distinguished me
from one who had passed through the
great change. My mind has ceased to
exist and my heart to suffer. Doubt
less the muscular energy of my frame
would have carried me to the actual
physical consummatiOn of suicide, but
mentally | had died of despair, of deg
radiation.
II passed down the stairs, opened
and closed the outside door and stood
upon the step. In the sky was the
glimmer of dawn. The physical sense
which yet survived in me perceived 1t
and was more weary of living at this
sign of reviving life and tumult and
struggling. The soul was gone and the
body was impatient for dissolution.
And yet the habits of this life per-
sist strangely in the body. What do
YOU suppose, Harry, that this present
shell of my spirit did when l ceased to
direct it,"

opened a door and walked into a pretty
little parlor. Then it passed into a
room where a dim light burned and a
woman lay asleep, with one White arm
stretched out as if to greet a man
whom she loved. My bodily eyes saw
that, and then my soul came back.

and covered the white hand with
kisses.

three days what madness and folly
lay, forgotten but irlevocably written,
in my past? But perhaps she was
asleep. | made a loud noise at the
door, as loud as | dared, fearing to let
the other inmates in the house know
of my disgrace. There vas no answer.
"COnfused, alarmed and utterly sick
at heart, l sank down upon the floor
and sat there leaning against he wall.
l do not know how long. At times |
felt resentment against her, and then
l excused my OWL fault with weak
arguments: again, l fell into AFFECT
pleading, with my lips almost against
the door. And then, in desperation, l
thought of the weapon in my pocket,
and was on the blink of death. Yet,
through it all one idea grew stronger
as the others faded lOnged to see
her again. Pledges rose to my lips
which no man could utter, and then
violate; which no woman could hear,
unmoved, from II she loved.

door. and l had got upon my feet to
make the effort when | was aware of
the sound of some person ascending
the stairs below e. | had no wish to
be discovered in such a plight, and so
l put my back against the door and
kept quite still. The hall was as dark
as a coffin. | did not see the man who
passed me, nor did he have a suspicion
of my presence. He went up the stairs
to the next landing and there paused.
| waited for the noise of the doors
closing. but it did not come. Instead,
l heard a light, peculiar sound which,

Lawrences, who occupied the fiat

was this man doing at their door?

Lonely Liehtkeepers in Winter.

Fogs, trying as they are to visitors,
are little minded by the light-keepers.
One of them, in fact, reported with
evident pride, that his steam foghorn
had been in uninterrupted operation
for twenty-seyen days, and declared
that he dreaded the silence which
would come with clear weather. The
fog is as nothing When compared with
the wild storms of winter, that cut off
their communications with the main
land. Then, indeed, the dreary monot-
ony of the light-keeper's life on one
of the outlying Maine islands becomes
well-nigh undesirable. For weeks at a
time he is confined to his isloated rock
OF tiny islet as absolutely as d prisoner
to his cell.-Scribner's for October.

Palace OF Hay.

Such a structure has just been de-
cided upon by the directors of the Ma
tional exposition to be held at Toron-
to. A mammoth structure will be
erected from bales of pressed hay on
the exhibition grounds of the big
American fair. 1t will be used to adj
vertise the vast hay producing country
of the West. Large bales of compress
ed hay will be SEN down from the
Northwest, and the building will be
built of these blocks. When completed
the building will be festooned with
! wheat and other grains in the shear
and in punches, and the entrance will
be ~tastefully arranged. Inside the
space will be divided off, sc as to dis
| play the exhibits from each district.

I,nte Pullets-

Now that the cold weather is nearly
here, there is not much prospect of
any Of the late pullets laying before
Spring. If they did not grow and reach
the laying condition while the season
was moderately warm they will not
do so now. 1t Is usually the case that
when pullets do not begin as late as
November they will not begin until
early spring. 1t would be an advan-
tage to dispose of the fat pullets and
thus reduce expenses, as it does not
pay to feed them in order to hold them
until eggs begin to sell at higher prices
By so doing, more room will be afforded
to laying hens, and less labor of man
| agement during the cold weather will
| be the result.

The report that Il Russian electrician
has found a way Of telephoning to long
distances, and perhaps across the At
lantic, has received no serious atten-
ton among electricians, at all events,
SO far as its submarine possibilities are
concerned. The distance he has tele-
phoned over is stated as from 800 to
900 miles; but there is nothing new in
that. A telephone line from New York
to Chicago, distance of close OF 1000
miles, has been in operation for years.
Moreover, the distance which can be
spoken through" On Il land line is no
test or q submarine cable, on which in
duction n consequent etardation OF
the electric impulse is so much greater
that few telephone cables run over
twenty miles. 1t has been said by an
electric authority that the difficulties
of telephoning across the Atlantic seem
at present insuperable, as a cable the
size of a hogshead would be required
to make speaking audible over the
whole distance. Every now and again,
an electrical engineer will return to
the charge and have a fling at this APP
parently ~impregnable position; but
hitherto without success. Not long ago
Prof. Pupin proposed to lay c~ondensers
across the floor of the ocean,, and so
restore the efficiency of the electric
current by a continuous series of stops.
If this could be done, we could talk
across the Atlantic; but it has not been
d. done. and there is no immediate pros
pect that it will be. If the Russian
has found a means of avoiding or sup
pressing the effects of induction, he
will have made a great advance, and
done what electricians have been try
ing to do for years, but pending fur
Their particulars, it will be well to at
tach no particular weight to the story,

Col. Clark r.. WeStcott of London,
England, who has been spending a
couple of months in Chicago and the
West, in the interest of a syndicate
which owns considerable mining prop
erty in this country, is responsible for
the following account of a singular
natural phenomenon. His story is as
follows:
zone hot day, a couple of weeks
since, l was riding along a mountain
road in Colorado, on my way to a
mine in which l nm interested, when |
noticed, high above me, soaring in a
majestic circle, an eagle. l had a 1870
Winchester slung across my back, II
it was but the work of a Omen TO
unsling the gun and fire at the bird,
which appeared to be directly above
me. The shot was q clear miss, and,
not caring to waste any more cart
ridges. | was about to ride on, when l
was startled to hear what took to be
the dull chung of a stone thrown by
an unseen hand. which fell into a little
gully partly filled with leaves, within
twenty feet of me.
Il looked carefully about me in all
directions, but could see no sign of a
human peing, and then dismounted
/ and. scraping back the leaves, was as
tonished to find a piece of ice as large
as IA goose-egg, and about the same
shape. Upon close examination, was
further astonished to discover my rifle
ball firmly imbedded in the center. ]
have specialized a great deal over this
phenomenon since that time, and the
only solution | can see is that the ball
in passing through the cloud, gathered
the moisture and held it by its whirl
