 Ing of the Honeymoon.

Ing of the Honeymoon.
 Charley Wheeler and Lucille Sprock- cit had been married nearly three weeks, and they had just returned from their wedding trip. They were supremely happy in each others love, and the honeymoon so far bad been to them as cue long, blissful dream. Within ths next day or two, however the brida grew slightly depressed in spirits and an uneasy feeling seemed to take pos session of her. The young husband no, ticed 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 1t is D
 At first she tried to persuade him ehat he was mistaken, that nothing worried her.
 "You are wrong Charley, dear. <" she would say. Really, am not wor- rying over anything I am just as happy as can be. "
 Tho day following, however, the young wifo wore such troubled look that her husband said to her;
 Lucille, you must tell mo 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, am so unhappyp' she walled 1T have-deceiyed-yo "
 A sickening sensation swept over tl.a young husband Surely there must be some mistake She, whom he had looked upon as the personifleation of innocent womanhood-deceive him It must not be. It would destroy his happiness aud blight his life And then, when he caught q sudden vision of the horrible possibilities of the situation, he became sick at heart and almost fell to the floor. Then, with great effort, he controlled his feelings

AMUSE SEMeNTS.

Don C@sar de Bazan," Mr. Wm, L.

 To quote from metropolitan dai- lies, "Mr. Roberts is redundant fitted for the role of the Spanish no- bleman, in the possession of a splen- did physique, q. resonant, pleasing voice, and an intelligent discernment of the requirements of the character ization, which is at once charmingly original and vivid in execution. D Higher commendation could not be bestowed upon Miss Olive Martin than to say that she easily ranks herself with Mir. Roberts as q finish ed actress

COLOR IN CIGARS.
A Light Wrapper May Not Mean = Mnd
Smoke.

One Of the most absurd fads OF the
cigar trade is that Of color in reference
to the Havana. The idea prevails that
color is Indicative OF strength. II Is no
such thing, says the London Grocers
Monthly. A light or medium colored
cigar is not necessarily mild or medium
in flavor, for the simple reason that the
color refers to the outside wrapper only
which in itself is Of very thin sub
stance and in quantity is Of very small
proportion to the other materials that
make up the cigar. AS matter OF fact,
the filters and bunch wrappers viii de-
termine the body or strength OF the
cigar. The actual strength. or, other
wise, OF the inner body Of the cigar
namely, filters and bunch wrappers, Is
too often an unknown quantity. II Is
quite true that a statement may be
made that these parts are so-and-so,
or a mixture Of this and that, and give
certain ash, etc, but this explains
nothing. Not only are there various
grades of the same tobacco in relation
to quality. but there are also a variety
of grades that determine strength. With
the exception that certain tobaccos have
varying degrees Of body or otherwise.
mild, medium or full cigar is largely
matter Of chance. The craze for light
colors or dark colors has, nevertheless,
assumed alarming proportions. The
manufacturers, particularly those Of
Cuba, are at their wits ends how to
grapple with the matter. Nature is very
impartial and quietly ignores the fads
ana fancies Of people in general. To-
bacco leaves. like most things, are sub
ject to the vagaries Of the natural ele-
ments. A crop may give an undue
proportion Of dark, light or medium;
except for color all may be equally
good. What is the manufacturer to do
II he can only dispose Of his light and
medium, and has to keep all his dark?
He already threatens to raise the price
on his lighter colors. in which case the
public would be paying a higher price
for by no means the best article. II
might b reasonably assumed that, as
possessing the essential qualities Of a
good cigar, the darker cigar is by far
the best. 1t is about time that the re-
taller should take a hand in the mat
ter.

Cooper thinks 1t came from the corrup-
ton Of the word English by the In
dams. At all events, Yankee has come
to have an implication Of smartness or
inventiveness-as applied in Yankee no
lions, for instance. And doubtless there
Is some connotation Of smartness as
well as unserupulousness in the term
as applied to us It is not altogether
a simple appellation. as used today. It
Is something Of term Of reproaeh; that

THE WORD YANKEE"
An Examination OF Several Theories as
ITO Its Derivation.

An Examination OF Several Theories a.
TO Its Derivation.
AS the word Yankee frequently ap-
pears in the dispatches relating to the
difficulties with Spain the Indianapolis
News has been looking up the subject
and finds that the common story of its
origin is that Yankees is a variation
OF YANKEES, or Yangees, or Yaunghees,
a name said to have been given by the
Massachusetts, Indians to the English
colonists, being, it is supposed. an In
dian corruption Of the word English,
or as some think, OF the French word
Anglais. The word is said to have been
adopted by the Dutch on the Hudson,
who applied it to the people OF New
England in contempt. The other the
DRY is that it was derived from the
Scotch word yankie, as applied to the
English settlers, as if English articles
meant necessarily excellent articles.
and others see the origin in the appli-
cation OF the definition Of excellent and
smart to the English eolonists. This
application is held by good authority

light carriage, the weight Of the 3.5-
inch field gun and carriage completes

The firing Of the gun is readily ae-

block is first opened and the projectile
inserted. It is then closed and the
primer attached. The gun Is then spun
up and when revolving rapidly enough

A wonderful Machine That Il Honest ana
Very Business-Llke.
There have been nearly 3,700 United
States patents granted on slot ma.
chimes. The latest is the one recently
granted to Mr.. Wheatcroft for his in.
yention, which he calls the automatic
clerk. This Is the only one Of its Kind
bV which bulk can be taken and con-
yeyed to package by the action Of a
coin. Through the automatic clerk, a
grocer can sell peanuts, coffee, bis
cults, crackers and starch without the
expense OF a salesInan. The grocer
himself can attend to twenty-five OF
these machines-that Is, see about
twice a day that they are fully stocked
and be perfectly sure that his profits
are not being tempered with. The ma.
chine receives the goods at the top in
bulk. Peanuts to the value OF SO can
be stored In this way. A nickel Is
placed In the slot by the intending
purchaser, and at once a nickel's worth
OF peanuts passes down a continuous
chute, falling thence into a bag, which
Immediately appears, for the purchas-
er. To get all this the customer has
only. to drop bis nickel In the slot and
pull the handle Of the automatic clerk.
The machine counts by a register how
many nickels are taken. and the gro
Ger can so count his receipts at the end
OF the day.
The machine Is, above all, honest,
II a child comes along and puts a
penny or a dime in the slot by mis-
take, the automatic clerk silently re-
turns the coin, as only a nickel can be
used II trade has been unusually brisk
and the last Of the 1000 bags has been
used, a sign appears, saying, "Keep
your nickel. This machine Is empty"

The decks OF the enemy are cleared
to fight the forts that mark the har-
Dor entrance, for the Insignificant little
pieces on the white sands Of New
York's pleasure ground have not en-
gagged the serious attention Of the com
mander. The great guns Of his main
battery, though pointed in that direc-
ton, have not deemed them worthy Of
q single broadside. This he reserves
for the more difficult task Of silencing
the forts Of the Narrows. A report,
little louder than that OF toy pistol,
however, at last attracts his attention
and. before he has time to reply with
even one Of his rapid fire guns. a num-
Der Of steel cylinders are Kissing and
suffering through the smoky atmos-
phere. With accelerating velocity they
rise as high as the foremast-head, then
turn their noses downward, and, with
unerring aim, one Of them crashes into
his starboard side forward. tearing
away the armored plates and leaving
hole through which rush the waters Of
the bay. Another falls a little astern.
too far away to do its work Of destruc-
ton, though the conclusion shakes the
ponderous fighting machine from stern
to stern, disables her steering gear and
puts her engines out of line. The guns
from the forts at the Narrows now
open fire at long range, and after few
well directed shots, a white flag Is seen
floating at the masthead-and New
York Is saved
