A ILLUSIONS.
How Thunderstorms, Rain, Hail and

How Thunderstorms, Rain, Hail and
Snow Are Initiated.
A curious part of stage illusion is
that which may be comprehended un-
der the term theatrical meteorology.
Whatever may be the state of the
weather outside, the stage manager
within can bring about rain and hail,
wind, or a thunderstorm at will, and
the illusion is so complete as to some
times make nervous members of the
audience insensibly shudder. Hail and
rain are represented by a closed wood
en- cylinder about six feet long, which
is DISTRACTED inside by various cross
pieces, a quart of peas completing the
arrangement. BY turning this cylin-
der first one way up and then the
other the peas rattle through it with
close imitation to the sound of heavy
rain on a roof. The wind arrangement
consists of a wheel about two feet in
diameter, set in a frame like that Of
a grindstone. This wheel is furnished
with ribs on it's periphery somewhat
like the floats of a w~aterwheel, and
drawn tightly over the ribs is a piece
of thick silk. When the wheel is
turned the ribs rub against the silk,
and by turning the handle first quickly
and then slowly, a very good imita-
ton Of the soughing of the wind is
produced. Lightning may easily be
initiated by using chemical or %electri-
cal means, and the usual mode of pro-
ducing thunder is by shaking a large
sheet of flexible iron plate. Some
theaters have, however, a far more
elaborate and effective thunder ar
rangement, which is used as an aux
Hilary to the sheet of iron when a
storm is supposed to reach it's height.
This consists of a number Of cannon
balls held in a trough and allowed to
fall at the right moment, and to run
over a floor above the ceiling of the
theater. A snow storm is brought
about by a perforated revolving cylin-
der above the stage, charged with pa
per cuttings. Unfortunately, these
messengers of frost have a habit of
resting on all kinds of projections and
dislodging themselves in subsequent
scenes when their presence is not de-
sirable. Chambers Journal.

v BY HER WIT.
For Her Clever Answer the Empress
Gave Her a Locket.

For Her Clever Answer the Empress
Gave Her a Locket.
An amusing anecdote is told of the
pride the empress of Austria took in
her magnificent chestnut tresses,
which fell down to her ankles. She
used to have her hair brushed for
hours every day. Her majesty was
particularly anxious that the dresser
who brushed her long braids should
avoid pulling out a single hair. This,
of course, was an impossibilty, and the
unfortunate maid concealed carefully
in the pocket of her apron any hair
which became entangled in the brush.
One day the empress, happening to
glance into the looking-glass before
which she sat, caught sight of the
maid ~concealing a small roll of hair
in the above-described fashion. Jump
ing up from her rocking-chair, her
majesty grasped her attendants
hands, exclaiming: 81 have caught
you at last! You are running my
hair!" With a presence of mind which
would have done honor to an expert
diplomat, the maid replied, unhesitat-
1ngly: Il implore your majesty to
forgive me; it never happened before.
l only wished to have some of my
sovereign's hair to put in the locket
which my little girl wears around her
neck as a talisman." Whether the
empress believed this clever invention
or not I do not know; but, struggling
her shapely shoulders, she resumed
her seat, laughing heartily, and the
next day she presented her maid with
a locket enriched with diamonds, say
ing, with a mischievous twinkle in her
eyes: 81 think this is the kind of a
talisman your little daughter deserves
for having such a clever mother

TILE FLOWER GIRL.

FLOWERS, five cents a bunch!" This
cry came from the pale, tremulous lips
Of a maiden of Is summers. 1t was on
a crowded city street, and the heat was
SO intense that people were longing
to be once more in the seclusion OF
their homes.
II will take ten lunches" said a
polite voice in her ear. She turned
with a start. Ten punches! She had
not sold a bunch today. With deft
fingers she selected the freshest and
best punches, and with a look of graf
itude handed him the flowers.
Erla Seymons was a lovely girl, who
did all in her power to help her fee
BILE mother. Some days she sold flow
ers.
AS Harold Nelson and the young lady
with him (who was his sister, went
on their way Nena remarked: What
a beautiful girl! What a pity she has
to sell flowers on the street,"
Harold in his heart echoed her
words. This was not the first time ae
had seen Erla Seymons.
Z 11A0 Id " 5Ok ~ CAy

ing idle, her brown eyes fixed on va
cancy, thinking OF what or whom?
Thinking. unconsciously, of the young
man whom she thought so kind.
That night in the library of the ele-
CANT mansion of the Nelson's Nena re-
marked: Harold and l saw such a

on a flower girl, too"
"Nena, don't talk in riddles, but tell
me about It," said her mother, gently.
Then Nena, in her ~light-hearted fash
ION, related their experience of the
morning.
All through this recital the Hon.
Frederick Nelson listened intently, but
said nothing; he had also seen Erla,
the fowergirl, and remembered her.
The next day, as he was about to
hail a car, his ear caught the sound OF
a voice saying, flowers, five cents a
bunch"
THAT is the girl" he muttered, "she
is the picture of Nella."
Why is this man talking in this
manner? We shall have to turn back
and read the past pages of the his
tory of the present Hon. Frederick
Nelson.
Years ago at college, he had for q
roommate a young man about his OWL
age, named Leroy Seymons.

and good character. They soon be-

her daughter for support, as her fra
gile health prevented her from even
this means of support. Meanwhile
Frederick had married a refined girl
named Lottie Ashley, who, after the
first grief and disappointment passed
away, he loved. His one desire now
was to see his old friend again and
ask his forgiveness. Instead. of board
ing the car he retraced his steps and
walked to where Erla was standing.
I will take the whole basket" he
said in a businesslike tone. Erla
could have fallen at his feet for graft
tude. She had sold only two punches
all this morning, and now to sell the
whole basket, and mamma SO much
needed some little luxury, and now b
would have it. Happy tears filled her
lustrous eyes, and she said in a trem-
ulous voice: 20, sir, you are SO kind!'
Not yet sure as to the correctness Of
the deal which had taken such pos
session Of him, he asked in a low
voice, in which the eagerness vas hid

name is Ella Seymons, sir" This was
IAc CAdnCo ne ndQ COVeIou, IL was Ills
time. "Erla Seymons!" he CALCULATED
in well-feigned surprise; ct used to
know a man by the name of Leroy
Seymons."
THAT was my own dear father" re-
piled Erla in a choking voice.
Where is he now?" he asked in ex-
element which he could not suppress.
HE is dead, sir" This was indeed
hard when he thought himself so near
his desire.
"And your mother?" he asked, with
hesitation.
"She is feeble.''
Two years have passed. Mrs. Sey-.
mons has regained her health and is
living comfortably thanks to her
friend, Frederick Nelsonl. Erla is a
lovely, talented maiden of 20.
There is soon to be a grand wedding.
The happy couple are Harold Nelson

All is not silk-lined that rustles.
There is a lady in this town some of
whose skirts are silk-lined and give out
that relightful rustic that denotes the
a%ristocrat, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. Other of her skirts
are not, but they give out the same
rustic. For them she buys a yard of
the rustliest silk on the market and
sews it down the front of her gown,
where the action of her knees will pro-
duce the most swishing effect, and then
she prances forth with as good an ap-
pearance as the richest Of them all.
And she has a silk-lined walk that for
bids the entrance of a suspicion into
the minds of the most suspicious. All
which proves her fertility Of expedient,
and Ices not argue her more deceitful
than man, only more resourceful, more
alive to the instant needs Of things"
for it is not the silk lining the public
demand, but only the swish of it,

Successfully Used for the Reformation
of Boy Prisoners.
Another instance Of the moralizing
effect On French boys of the company
of song birds occurs to me, says Lon-
don Truth. It came under my notice
at the Industrial School of Mettray,
near Tours. / was taken over that in
stitution by the founder, M. de Metz,
who, before he founded 1t, was a judge
of correctional police. He was a man
of the most subtle penetration. His
idea was to moralize the Juvenile male
factors Of towns by employing them at
farm labors. Connected with the in
dustria1 school was a chalet in an in
closed garden. 1t was called La Mai
o Paternelle, and was reserved for
boys belonging to rich families who
had been handed over to M. de Metz
for penal discipline. He only knew
their names. The chalet was full. AL
the cases were very bad. The first
stage of discipline was solitary conine-
ment and lasted six months. The
whole course lasted eighteen months
at least, and after the solitary period
recreations, such as riding, gymnas-
tics, boating, skating were allowed. l
was taken into the cells Of these
"'gilded' prisoners. Noticing in some
of them birds in cages, I asked what
they meant. Just this: When a boy
gave signs of deep repentance, he was
allowed the companionship of a bird. If
he relapsed, the bird was taken away
"a fearful punishment, l was told.
But if he improved, he was given draw
ing materials and allowed to sketch
the bird. He was also given a flute. A
musical warder was sent every day
to play that instrument beside an
opened sliding panel in the door. The
bird picked up the airs. The captive
tried to pick them up, too, and in this
way had an innocent amusement.
When progress went on, flowers and
water colors were given to the boy
The final stage of the solitary period
was gardening. I saw a boy who thrice
attempted to burn his fathers chateau.
He succeeded, and in the dead of
night, the third time.

Kipling to a Bereaved Father.

People say that that kind of a
wound heals" says Rudyard Kipling,
writing to a father who has lost his
little son, "but it doesn't. 1t only
skins over, but there is at least some
black consolation to be got from the
old and bitter thought that the boy is
safe from the chances Of the after
years. I don't know that that helps,
unless you happen to know som man
who is under deeper sorrow than
yours-a man. say, who has watched
the child of his begetting go body and
soul to the devil. and feels that he is
responsible. But it is the mother that
bore him who suffers most when the
young life goes out"

POOLING AN AFRICAN LION.
Ruse Which a Hunter Employed to Save
His Life.

Ruse Which q Hunter Employed to Save
His Life.
Only those familiar with the "man-
ners and customs" Of the elephant
have any idea what a nimble creature
it really is, says Chums. Massive and
slow-footed as it looks, it is capable,
when reused, of feats that would be
difficult for much fieeter animals. Es-
p~ecially is this the case with African
elephants, which, though taller, are
generally lighter than their Asiatic
brethren. Moreover, accustomed for
ages to lead a wild life and often de-
pending on their alertness and speed
of foot for their very existence, they
have acquired a skill in gymnastics
which has occasionally taken even old
elephant hunters by surprise. In illus
tration of this fact we are reminded
Of a story told by one of the noble
army Of British sportsmen in Africa.
He was "out after elephants" and had
just fired at and wounded a magnih-
cent specimen. Unfortunately for him,
he had only succeeded in slightly
wounding it, when, Infatuated by the
attack, it turned and charged him. 1t
was a terrifying sight. With its enor-
nous ears spread out like sails, and
laundering owe the ground like a run
away locomotive. The hunter fired
another shot, but missed; his nerve
was shaken, and, throwing down his
express" rifle, he sought safety in
flight. Near at hand was a steep hill
and to this he directed his steps, for,
being but slightly acquainted with the
climbing powers of the elephant, he
thought his pursuer might be baf-
fed by the ~steepness of the ascent.
1t was a terrible disappointment to
find that the elephant could climb a
hill just as quickly as the hunter,
nimble runner as he was. The fugi-
tive, indeed, would have soon been
! overtaken if he had not thought of a
really ingenious ruse. He knew mat
elephants never run, or even, walk,
down a steep incline, but always crouch
down, gather their feet together, lean
well back and slide down. Just as
the ferocious animal had got within a
few yards of him, therefore, the willy
hunter suddenly doubled and ran down
the hill again. Quick as a flash the ele-
plant turned, gathered himself to-
gether, and, trumpeting with baf-
fed rage, slid down after his victim
The hunter had just time to spring out
of the way as the great beast came
"tobogganing" after him, smashing
trees and shrubs and carrying every
thing before it like an avalanche. Their
once more the hunter dashed to thu
top of the hill, while the elephant, I'm
able to stop itself, went careering dowI
to the very foot, where, APPARENT!
feeling very sore and disappointed,
rose and walked YEARLY back to its ma
tive woods.

COlOred Labor.

NOAOEou AaOOEs
Sixty hands are now daily employed
in the mill of the Coleman Manufac-
turing company at Concord, N. c.,
placing the machinery and getting the
mill ready to begin work. This is the
mill organized by colored people and
to be operated by colored labor, says
the Manufacturers Record of Balti-
more. Warren G. Coleman, the secre-
tary and treasurer, was instrumental
in placing the stock, the bulk of which
was subscribed by colored people. The
capital stock is $4,000. The mill
building is 80 by 120 feet, three stories,
with a tower four stories and a Chin
ney 20 by 100 feet, all neatly painted
and whitewashed. A waterworks VS.
TEN has been built in connection. with
the mill, the source of supply being a
spring LOO feet distant. The COM
pany owns 100 acres Of land adjoining
the mill. ]. G. Speckin of Indianapolis
is experimenting the placing of a 200
horsepower Corliss engine and two
1OO-horse-power boilers. When the
mill begins operations, white people
will be employed to instruct the col
ored labor. The mill and its equip
ment cost about $50, 900. 1t will OPP
crate 1000 spindles and 100 looms.
All it's officers are colored. BY it's

But now something happened to cause
q drifting apart of the two. At an en-
tertainment given by the students
lucky day! Both met to love. One
night in the secrecy of their room they
agreed that each should do his best
to win, and that neither should inter-
fere with the other.
Nella favored Leroy and when he
proposed was accepted. When Fred
erick was told by Leroy that he had
been accepted the blow was hard, and
nearly stunned him. Then, as he fully
realized that Nella, whom he loved
nigh unto madness, loved Leroy, his
grief and rage knew no bounds.
He accused Leroy of t%reachery, say
ing he had not given him fair play.
He ended by calling him a traitor to
the holy bonds of friendship and say
ing he never wished to see his face
again. Stunned by such treatment, Lee
roy uttered not a word, but, collect
ing his things, left the room.
From that day to this Frederick
Nelson and Leroy Seymons had not
looked into each others faces. Shortly
after Frederick read of the marriage
of Leroy and Nella.
All this time Leroy and his young
wife were living happily together in a
distant city.
One year, two years, passed, and tne
couple were blessed with a beautiful
little daughter, whom they named Err
la.
She was the pride OF their hearts;
all their thoughts and plans were for
her alone. One day a cruel blow fell
upon the head of Nella. Leroy had
been killed! o, the terrible anguish!
But she would be brave for her baby
girls sake. After their money was
gone Nella hired some cheap rooms
and supported herself and Erla by her
needle And now she depended upon

THE NUTMEG TREE.
How the Fruit Grows and Is Prepared
for Use.

The nutmeg tree is largely cultivat-
ed in the Banda Isles, Java, Sumatra,
and Bengal. 1t is an evergreen, and
usually grows to a height Of about rs
feet. The leaves resemble those of the
laurel and are very aromatic: the
flowers are white and from two to
three grow on a %peduncle. The nutmeg
grows from a reddish knob in the
center of the flower. When matured the
fruit is about the size of an apricot,
and looks very much like a peach: it
has a longitudinal groove on one side,
and when ripe bursts into two pieces,
thus exposing the inclosed seed COW
cred by what is known to commerce
as mace. The seed itself has a thick,
hard shell, and inside of the she'll is
found the nutmeg proper. Much care
is used in drying the seed, and they
are not broken until the nutmegs in
side are loose enough to rattle. To
preserve the nutmegs from insects
they are soaked in sea water and lime.
Nutmeg trees begin to bear fruit when
about eight years old, and continue to
bear all the year round for sixty or
more years. Penang putmegs are the
best; they are about an inch in length,
of a pale brown color externally, and
internally they are gray and have red
veins.

SUNSET AND SUNRISE.
Like the Beauty of a Woman and a
Young Girl.

AOunS OAr1s
Sometimes one sees a sunrise. Cen
orally it is on a sleeping-car or else
where when one cannot claim credit
for the seeing, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. Poets are lazy
creatures, else they would write more
about ~sunrises and sunsets. Sunrises
really suit them better; at least such
of them as are "of the air, airy" A
few Of them are sunset men, but most
of them, in spite of the babble about
passion, are rather shimmery crea-
lures, and the shimmery colors are the
sunrise colors-delicate pinks and yell
lows, such as the sunset never equals,
though its colors are richer and more
satisfying in a way. The evening col
ors are like the beauty Of a woman.
1t seems as if the long experience of
the day had given them the depth and
richness that the experience of life gives
to the woman The morning colors
are like the young girl, beautiful in
her promise more than in her pres
emit self. The sunset is what we need
at the end Of the firing day. We
steep our souls in it's glorious coloring
and in its strength, and lose the dust
and WEAKNESS of the day. The sunrise
comes to us as we awaken. It's purity
appeals to us not to let our souls be
dragged down by the sordid day to
preceding the action.
