HER SOUL uNgURpENEp.
A Young BFhAe's Confession In the Was
 ing oF the Honeymoon.

ing oF the Honeymoon.
 Charley Wheeler and Lucille Sprock- ett had been married nearly three weeks and they had just returned from theiT wedding trip They were supremely happy in each others love, and the honeymoon so far bad been to them as one long. blissfuI dream Within ths next day or two, however, the brids grew slightly depressed in spirits, and an uneasy feeling seemed to take pos. session of her. The young husband no eiced the change, but attributed it to fatigue from the recent travels. But his bride grew more nervous and took on such troubled expression that he said tO her:
 You have something on your mind. darling, that Is troubling you. Tell me what it is |"
 At first she tried to persuade him Ghat he was mistaken, that nothing worried her.
 ''You are wrong, Charley. dear. ~ 0he would say. Really, am not wor. lying over anything. I am just as happy as can be. ''
 The day following, however, the young wife wore such a troubled look that her husband said to her:
 Lucille, you must tell me what is troubling you. will not be put off any longer As your husband have right to know.
 Seeing that further concealment was impossible, she broke down and sobbed bitterly:
 "Oh, Charley, I am so unhappyl" she walled. "I have--deceived-y !"
 4 sickening sensation swept over the young husband Surely there must be some mistake She, whom he had looked upon as the personifcation of innocent omanhood-deceiye him It must not be It would destroy his happiness and blight his life. And then, when he caught a sudden vision of the horrible possibilities of the situation, he became sick at heart and almost fell to the floor. Then, with a great effort ho controlled his feelings
 "Tell me, " he said "I am prepared for the worst.
 'Oh, Charley, am 20 sorryf''
 "You should have thought of this be- fore. "
 "I know, I know. .ee my mistake, now it's too late, she cried. "Oh, why didn't tell you before we were mar ried?''
 ''Tell me now, and be quick aboua it I cannot bear this suspense. "
 ''Tell me first that you will forgive ne, she said in pleading tones ''I will devote my whole life in atonemena for this one mistake "
 ''I cannot promise until I know what it is, " he said.
 Then she came over and knelt as his feet.

 'Yes; but what has tnAt''--

MetaIIized Wood.

The following process, invented by Mir. Rubennick, for metallizing wood, is thus described by Les Mondes; 1.-The wood is first immersed for three or four days, according to its permeability, in q caustio alkaline lye (caIeareous soda? at temperature of from 75 to 90 de. grees Thence it passes immediately into a bath of hydrosulphite of calcium, to which is added. after 24 or 36 hours, Q concentrated solution of sulphur in caustio potash. The duration of this bath is about IS hours and its tempera. ture Is from 35 to 90 degrees. Finally the wood is immersed for 30 or 50 hours in hot solution (35 to 90 degrees) of acetate of lead. The process, as may be seen, is q long one, but the results are surprising The wood thus prepared, after having undergone proper drying at a moderate temperature, acquires un- der burnisher of hard wood a polished surface and assumes Q very brilliant metallic luster. This luster is still fur ther increased if the surface of the wood be first rubbed with piece of lead, tin or zinc and be afterward polished with B glass or porcelain burnisher. The wood thus assumes the appearance of q true metallic mirror and is very solid and resistant.

THE LAW OF LIBEL.

In the Kennebeo County case of Edgar
l.. Thomson VS.. Lewiston Daily Sun
Publishing Company, Clerk of Courts
Choate has received the following re-
script.
Whitehouse, jim order to render
words actionable in q suit for libel, it is
not necessary that there should Se the
same precision and certainty in the Ian
guage employed to make the charge, as
in the allegations of an Indictment for
the same offense. If the defamatory
words, taken in their natural and ordi-
nary Specification, fairly import a GRIM
inal charge, it is sufficient to render
them actionabIe. But upon demurrer
to the declaration words alleged to be Ii
belous cannot be pronounced act1onable
by the court unless they can be inter
preted as such with at least reasonable
certainty.
When the statement in the defendant 8
newspaper che has a wife living in the
West'' is considered in the light Of the
context and of the spirit and purpose Of
the entire article. and construed with IT.
erence to all the facts stated in the COLO
quinn and admitted by the demurrer, it
Is fairly calculated to convey and must
be held to convey, the meaning which
the plaintiff attached to 1T. The commu-
nication relates to the arrest of the plain
tiff upon the charge of murder. The al
fusion to the "divorce of the second wlfe
now living in Auburn" is calculated to
present contrast between her legal
Status and that of "a wife now living in
the West" and the entire article was ap-
parently designed to exhibit his previous
record in such light as to suggest the
pro liability of the truth Of the charge
uDon which he had been arrested. The
manifest purpose of the statement was
to suggest criminal conduct with respect
to his marriage relations, and when it is
considered in connection with the aver
ment in the colloquium that che had
been married to Helen III. Thompson,
with whom he was then living as his
lawful wife in the town of Monmouth, -
it must be regarded as imputing to him
the crime of bigamy with reasonable
certainty"

One of the most desperate stampedes

OUTINGS FOR THE PEDAGoGUEs.


The Bar Harbor delegates who went to
attend the meeting of the directors of the
American Institute of Instruction, re-
turned Monday, disappointed but hope
full. Disappointed because the associa-
ton will not come here this summer;
hopeful, that they will come in 1899.
The directors mot in the school commit
tees room on Mason street, Boston, Sat-
urday forenoon. The only other summer
resort represented at the meeting was
North Conway. 1t transpired that the
National Association of Teachers will
hold its convention at Washington, D.
c., this summer, and as probably q
large number of teachers will attend that
meeting, it became doubtful if more than
two hundred would .tako part in the In
stitute's excursion. For that reason the
directors decided that it would be better
to have their meating at North Conway
this summer. They were much pleased
and fiattered with the interest manifested
by the town in sending delegates to meet
them; and they all assured the Bar Har-
Dor representatives that they would vote
for this town as the destination of their
summer excursion next year. 1t would
be very good plan for the town to have
representatives at North Conway this
summer to meet the officers of the Jnsti-
tuto and lay before them anew the at
fractions of Bar Harbor. This would go
far to keep alive their interest in the
place.-zBar Harbor Record.

pears. The skirt is trimmed with bands
of braid, black and dead gold, and where
the ends are fastened there are small
Roman gold buttons. The gold and the
black look especially well against the
pale green. The waist is a simple style,
and the most noticeable thing about it is
the braiding which matches that on the
skirt. The collar and frili are faced with
darker green velvet, which shows just
enough to give another tone of coloring.
This style of waist can be altered, SO that
it can be worn either by stout or slen-
der woman, by having the fullness differ
entity arranged.

trimming and combination of coloring.
The gown illustrated is of pale sage

enough weight to drape gracefully. The
skirt fits closely over the hips and in
front, and all the. fulness at the back is
put into as small space as possible.
While the skirt is narrower than those
worn last season, there is enough flare
about the foot to give particularly smart
appearance. The cut of this skirt, to-
gether with that of the waist and sleeves,
