A DRAMATIsT's REJOlNDE9.
The Only Thing That Colman Did
 Regret.

Regret.
 When Colman, the English dramatist, was examined before the committee of the house of commons, which sat on the theatrical question, he was asked whether he expurged all oaths or pro- fane swearing from the plays submitted to his revision, says the New York Ad- sertiser. He ansWefed:
 Invariably"
 Did you ever count the oaths in your own comedies of the Heir at Law and John Bull?'
 Never; but I dare say there are a great many
 (Which you disapprove of?'
 "Undoubtedly.'
 Do you not think it would have been better to have omitted them?'
 Much better. They disflgure the sec Aes in which they are introduced, and injure the hu1nor.'
 Then" continued tie chairman, thinking to clinch the argument, you aGe sorry now that you wrote either of those comedies? ?"
 Quite the contrary" rejoined the licenaer. ''I rejoice exceedingly 10 have made a good pudding, although l regret that any bad Plnms should have crept into it."

MEASURING THE EARTH.

Tfe Mountains and Stars Are Both
 Called Into Usc 5. Astronomers.
 The longest distance ever encom- passed by the human vision, so jar as the records go, is lS3 miles, between the UneompahgTe peak in Colorado, and Mount Ellen, in Utah. This feat was accomplished by the surveyors of the United States coast and geodetic survey. who are now engaged, in con- junction with representatives of other nations, in making a new measure lnent of the earth, says the Philadelphia Record.
 The observers on the Pacific coast have been able to signal from Mount Shasta to Mount Helena, a distance of 19O miles, but have never been able to get a response. Between the two other IeaiIs communication has been continu- ous for an hour or more on several oc- easions.
 The Uneompahgre is 14,300 feet in height, while Mount Ellen is 13,400:
 The longest distance that the human eye ever reached until this record was made was between Algiers and Spain, 1GS miles.
 The measuring of the earth, which is now going on, is no simple task. The width of the ocean can only be asc&r- tained by astronomical observations. The observers at Greenwich and at Washington note each night the exact moment of the rising of certain stars, and then. by mathematical calcula- tions, turn the difference in time into distance. This is corrected and cor roborated by other observations upon other stars, and by series of expert ments, which furnish an average that is approximately accurate.
 The difference is seldom more than a small fraction of second, and is at tributed to atmospheric phenomena.
 The Pacific ocean is measured in a similar manner by joint observations with the Lick telescope, in California, and that of the Imperial university of Japan, at Tollio.

how diplomatic she was growing. On
the last occasion that she had a ia.
Vor to beg from him she had not
thought of a fitting time. She was
growing wiser.
After luncheon to-day" she decid-
ed.
And that resolve to control her own
lmpat1ence and study her husbands
humors was one of the wisest resolves
she had ever made in her life.
After luncheon there was generally
an interval Of quiet in the castle. Most
of the ladies went to their own rooms;
some of the gentlemen went to the bill
lizard room, some sought the library. AS
good fortune would have it, Lord Car
aven went to the library alone. Hildred
followed him.
Are you going to write a letter."
she asked.
Yes, unless you will be kind enough
to write it for me-" he replied. 1T
seems to me a sin to exert ones self
on such a day as this" and the hand
some earl proceeded l%eisurely to seat
himself in an easy chair and watch
his wife while she wrote for him.

bringing in half what it could be made
to bring-that-. Well, l have not pa

true, he has deceived me-and. by my
earldom, l VOW he shall not deceive me
twice."
She had hardly dared to hope for
such ready answer-such hopeful re,
Spouse.
will you listen to me- she said
while l tell you more?"
Yes, I will l~isten," replied the earl,
with gloomy face.
She did not spare him. She told him
how his estate was worse cared for and
more mismanaged than any other in
England-how the poor cried out for
help and did not receive it, the sick and
the sorrowful for relief and did not get
it-how the wretched homes caused fe-
yer and rheumatism and a host of mis-
eries-how the laborers on his estate
were worse paid, worse lodged and
worse fed than on any other-how the
tenants were more heavily burdened-
how his name was spoken with curses,
not blessings.

a smile, saying to herself that she
mus bring the whole artillery of her
smiles and grace to bear upon him.

short time" she said. II like this

here, and, looking around me-, | med
itate on the glories of the dead and
gone Caravens. They were a noble
race; no wonder that you are proud of
them"
Il am proud of them confessed the
earl. i am graceless enough, but l
o V the honor of my house"
And no wonder. I was looking the
other day at some of those portraits
IN the eastern gallery. They were noble
men, those ancestors of yours; some
OF them have kingly faces. All, they
may talk of worth and money, but l
would rather have the proud distinc-
ton of noble birth like yours than all
the money in the world"
Would your. he asked, dreamily.
THAT seems strange"
Il do not think SO. We all value
most highly that which we have not"
she replied, simply. 1T must be an
incentive to a noble and glorious life
to have such ancestors as yours"
An expression of deeper earnestness
than sh: had yet seen came over his
face.
Il am an unworthy successor to the
honor of the Caravens," he said. II
thought it would all be different when
l began life"
And why was it not different" ask
ed the young wife.
Il cannot TELL" he replied. II think
Incidence has been my ruin. I have
yet taken a real interest in any,
thing"
That is strange" said Hildred; but
1t does not follow that you never
will"
The window at which they were sit
ting was open, and long tendrils of
white jasmine blew in. Sometimes
they touched the earl's face, and it was
under the pretext of removing them,
lest they should tease him, that his
young wife drew nearer to him. 1t
might have touched any mans heart
to see how she watched his face, how
she kept her yes fixed upon it, lest
by word or deed she should ~irritate
him. She drew back the long SPRAYS
of jasmine.
The view from the window was q
beautiful one, extending over the pleas
ure grounds and the green undulating
woods. The wind that came in so
gently was laden with the breath of
flowers. Hildred looked at her hus-
band, and then, half kneeling, she took
up her station by the side of his chair.
What it cost her to make that adj
vance no one but herself knew. Her
face flushed, her heart beat. 1t SEEM
Cd to her a bold step. If Lord Cara
ven felt any surprise, he was very
careful not to show it.
your ancestors were such noble
men," she said. Il had no ancestors,
yet I would never do a mean action.
Where do my instincts of nobility come
from? And you, Lord Caraven-you
call yourself an unworthy descendant
Of these great men. Why?"

Everything that concerns you in

why should it not?"
Il have not been so kind to YOU,
Hildred,' he said, that you should
feel interested in me-"
Perhaps we have both made mis-
takes" she returned. Il think | can
guess what you would say. You mean
that you have done nothing great and
glorious"
1T may be So said the earl. She
looked up at him, with all her heart in
her eyes.
There is n thing to be said," she
remarked. You may not have done
any great or brilliant deeds, but ycr
have never done a mean one"
Il hope not" he replied.
Nor" she continued, quickly,
would you allow a mean or unjust
deed to be done in your name-would
you?"
No." he answered, so decidedly that
she was filled with great content.
She ventured on a further liberty.
one that touched him. She laid her
hand on his.
Il knew it, she said, Il was sure
Of it. l knew that you might seem in
dolent, that you might be unfairly in
%f1uenced, that O might perhaps at
times be misled, but 1 feel quite sure
that it was against your code of hon
or, against YOU wish and will, against
your ideas Of right"
What is against them, Hildred % he
asked.
She was silent for a few minutes,
and then she laid her hand more ten
derby upon his.
Thank you," she said, for letting
me speak to you. l was half afraid
at first, but now you give me cour-
age"
Her sweet humility disarmed him.
If she had been proud, naughty or pet
ulant, there would have been little
chance to plead her case. Her gentle
ness touched him. For the first time
in his life he took her hands and
clasped them in his own.
do not be afraid of speaking to me,
Hildred,' he said.
She had SO much at stake that she
trembled. He saw her beautiful face
grow pale, and her lips tremble.
"Hildred," he said, gently, you pain
me. What is it you would say?
Speak to me without fear"
Then she took courage. She raised
her eyes to his.

at last, that this is true?"
