Proofreader Did Not Want to Print Bret

A. NJ. Shipman Of Sacramento, CAL,
who was registered a short time ago at
the Globe hotel, is said to have told the
following story of Francis Bret Harte.
He was connected with the business de-
partment Of the Overland MonthlY when
Bret Harte was its editor.
Bret Harte was never anything but

room sent in word to Harte that they
were short about two pages OF matter,

Immediately some sort of an article
must be in the colnpositors' hands al

drawers in his desk, but could find

My dear Pauline, you must not, indeed,
say these things; they are most unlady-like."
II begin to think that all truth is unlike"
returned the girl, with a laugh. MY favorite
virtue does not wear court dress very becom-
ingly."
II have never heard that it affects russell

Pauline, IL you would but understand social

Looking at her, the unstudied grace of her
attitude, the perfect pose, the grand face
with its royal look of scorn, Miss Hastings
felt that she would rather have the girl for a
friend than an nemy.
Il do hope, for your own sake, Pauline"
she said that you will show every respect
to Lady Darrell. All your comfort will de-
pend upon it. You must really compromise
matters"

Sensible smokin. Rules,

G~eneralarzt Scholer publishes in the
Centralblutt zu Observation-Disclosures a
collection of Hints to Smokers,'
which are founded as the doctor
states, upon his professional observa-
tons for many years of mouth, teeth,
stomach, lungs, heart and skin of the
devotees of tobacco.
The first and foremost rule is never
to smoke before breakfast, nor, MS a
rule, when the stomach is empty: this
custom is the worst possible foe to di-
g%estion. Never smoke during any ex-
ertion of great physical energy, as
dancing, running, cycling, mountain
climbing or rowing, and especially if
in a contest. Never follow 1.-The bad
custom of the French and the Rus
slams by allowing the smoke to pass
through the nose; never inl,ule it
through the nose.
Keep the smoke as far as possible
from the eyes and nose; the longer the
pipe the better; the use of a short pipe
during work is to be avoided. A pipe
is the most wholesome form of smok-
ing, a cigar the next, a cigarette the
worst. Always throw away your ci-
gar when you have smoked four fifths
of it: the last end of it is the most
hurtful; incauda venenumsshe poison
turks in the tail.
All cigarettes are bad, but eastern
cigarettes the worst, for they are al
ways compounded with some degree
of opium. The smoker ought TO rinse
out his mouth not only before meals
and before going to bed, but several
times during the day. The best rinse
for the smoker is a glass of water in
which a t%easpoonful of table salt has
been dissolved. 1t should be taken as
q gargle ut night, and care should be
taken that every cavity in the teeth is
we'll washed with it. The pipes proper
place is in the hand, and only OCCASION
] ally in the lips or the mouth.

CHAPTER X


FULFILLING THE CONTRACT
The preparations for the wedding went n,
with great activity: the rooms nrrnarpd FIR
the bride were n marvel of luy,,rv anI haan-
ty. There was n bouioir with rose.c;ll, and
wbite-lace langings. adorned with most ry-
onislte mixtures and statnes. with rarest ho,v-
ers and most beautiful 0rnamantsSa Ii,t,e
fairy nook. over which every one went into
raptules except Pauline: she never mention
ed them nor showed the least interest in
them. She went on in her cold. proud. self
contained manner, hiding many thoughts In
her heart.
.sMlss Hastings, she said one morninp
s.you can do me q favor. Sir Oswald has
been saving that wa must call at the Films n

should refuse, but that the request exactly
suits my plans. | wish to see Miss Roche

returned Miss Hastings ;.'but. my dear child
be prudent. I am frightened for y0u-be
prudent. It will be worse than useless for
you to make an enemy of the future Lady
Darrell. Iwculd do anything to help YOU.
anything to Shield you from sorrow or harm.
but l am frightened on your account"
Caresses and demonstrations of affection
were very rare with Pauline; but now she
bent down with a softened face and kissed
the anxious brow.
You are very good to me, she sail.
"You are the only one ia the wide world
WHO cares for me"
And with the words there came to her such
a sense OF loneliness and desolation rs no
language could describe. Of what use had
been her beauty, of which her poor father
had been SO p%roud-of what avail the genius
with which she was so richly lowered?
No one loved her. The only creature liy-
ing who seemed to enter Into either her Joys
or her SO. lows was the kind-heartea, gentle
governess.
"Yon must let me have my WI way this
time, Miss Hastings. One regularity of the
Darrells is that they must say what is OH their
minds. I intend to do 50 now; 1t rests with
you whether 1 do It'll peace or not"
After that Miss Hastings knew all further
rcnoiistrance was useless. She made such
arrangements as Pauline wished, and that
afternoon they drove over to the Fins. Lady
Hampton received them very kindly; the
great end and aim OF her life was accomplish
ed--her niece was to be Lady Darrell, Of
Darrell Court. There was no need for any
more envy or jealousy OF Pauline. The girl
who had SO lately been a dangerous rival
and an enemy to be dreaded had suddenly
sunk into complete insignificance. Lady
Hampton even thought it better to be gra-
cions, conciliatory, and kind; as Elinor lad
to live with Miss Darrell, it was useless to
make things disagreeable.

proof of the mathematical genius OF

prise was caused among mathernat,-
clans generally by the discovery
among the papers of the late Sir
Thomas. Wade of Chinese FAM of evil
dence that in the time of Confucius the
Chinese knew an equation which only
became known in Europe during the
last century, when it was discovered
by Fermat. and has since been known
as Fermat's equation. But the Chi
nese version recently discovered stated
that che equation did not hold with re.
gard to certain numbers. This puzzled
the mathematicians, and all efforts To
solve the point have hitherto failed.
Now. however. a young undergraduate
of Trinity college, Cambridge, has
demonstrated that the Chinese were
right, and his solution is frankly adj
mitted by the experts to be perfect
