SHE WAS SORRY.

New York Sun The man had been alb
sent from New York for a number of
years. During his absence many changes
had taken place. Some of his friends had
moved way and some had died. Though
he had taken the New York papers pretty
regularly he had not kept up with these
friends of his as he should have done.
Consequently now and then some one of
them that he thought dead and buried
and forgotten came up to him and shook
him by the hand.
Such shocks had the effect of giving
him nervous prostration, or nearly; and
they were of such frequent occurrence
that his health not only became under
mined, but he ultimately arrived at the
conclusion that all his friends We're yet
alive.
One evening he called upon a woman
friend who was living at a hotel. Arrived
a crowd of people, but he finally reached
her and shook her by the hand.
you are just the same" he said, ad-
miringly. "You haven't changed a par
ticle," which was not at all true, for her
hair had turned so white that she had
the air of a Marquise in some old picture
And your husband, too" he went on;
che is just the same as ever. 1 saw him
just now down in the lobby. He was
smoking"
The woman looked a trifie startled for q
moment, then recovered her composure
with considerable effort.
II am sorry to hear" she remarked
gravely, that my husband is still smok'
ing. He has been dead for II years.

YOUNG LAWYER.

Pittsburg News: I knew a lawyer who
heard the call for young men. He was
admitted to the bar in the spring. and in
the fall there was a political campaign.
on. A president was to be elected. The
young man had his name put on the hist

are mentioned in the newspapers as haV-

of this and to remedy matters he volun-
teered to furnish the press with accounts
of the meetings held in out-of-the way
places where reporters did not attend.
The first night under the new arrange
ment he spoke at Turtle Creek. Late that
night he came into the newspaper office
and asked for the political editor. He
wanted no dealings with a reporter.
Here is an account of a meeting at
Turtle Creek" he said. II dashed it off
coming in on the train. I thought you
would like to have it. 1t was one of the
most enthusiastic meetings l ever attend

He was duly thanked and he departed.
The man who got the account read:

a somewhat similar case was that OF
an old childless widow of Oakland, Cal.
Having a few thousand dollars, her en-
tire fortune, to invest in some good sound
security, she consulted a friend of hers
as to how she could best and most safely
place it. He advised her to buy some
stock in a reliable Industrial concern,
which, however, paid only small dlvl-
dends. When the old lady came to the
actual act OF investing she found she had
forgotten the name of the concern which
her friend had advised, and. thinking to
refresh her memory she looked down the
list of stock exchange quotations in her
morning paper. Here she CHANGED upon
a name which was strangely like that or
the other, and, thinking she was not mis-
taken In believing the two were the same,
she made her application, and eventually
invested the whole of her money. A few
months later she met her friend, and,
talking over the matter, discovered that
She had made a mistake-that the shares
she had purchased were very speculative
indeed, and she wrote to her broker TO
sell them at once and invest them in the
other concern. AS it happened, her SHARES
had "boomed' in the meantime, and by
selling out she was able to more than
double her fortune, thanks to her mis-
take, and have it invested in an emil

Between Russian and Chinese
Troops.
NO CAUSE FOR TROUBLE
fallen Wan is Occupied by Russian
Troops and 10 Conflict Could
Have Taken Place.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador, who was sta
toned at Picking five years, says he has
not received any advices regarding a
conflict between Russians and Chinese
at Talien Wan in which 800 Chinese We're
killed.
1T is almost impossible that there
should be a conflict there between
Russian and Chinese troops he said,
''for there are no Chinese troops there.
fallen Wan is occupied by L., 900 Russian
troops, supported by a large fleet, and
that the Chinese should attack the point
is impossible. I do not believe an armed
conflict has taken place. 1t is possible
there may have been some local disturb
ances by natives, but it would be hardly
necessary to call he troops into action
to restore order. The situation there is
not strained and a local disturbance
would have no significance beyond tbs
momentary excitement of the natives. Ii
could not possibly result seriously OF
have any political Significance
The Chinese minister, Mr.. WI was also
without advices on the conflict.
''Talien Wan is occupied by Russian
troops he explained, land so far as
know there are no Chinese troops there
In the country beyond there are Chinese
troops, but 1 do not suppose that Russian
lines have been extended so as to come
into conflict with them. The p~robabllltle;
are. I should say, that if there has beer
any trouble it was a native uprising, re-
sulting from the Russian ~upa ant

the Russian troops may have been on

Bricks from blast-furnace Stag, Herr
F. w. Luerman states, are now made at
German works as low as $2.3S per 1000.
The fluid Stag, being an unsuitable mate
rial, is passed through water, which
granuIates it, and the bricks are COM
pressed without burning, hardening in six
to eight days, when 10 per cent of lime
is added. The granulation increases the
permeability to air to five times that of
ordinary building bricks, %insuring dry
walls. The Stag bricks resemble gray
ish-white sandstone, support a crushing
load of 100 to $50 pounds per square inch,
and resist high temperatures.
The newly-discovered planet DQ-re-
markable for it's orbit, which approaches
the earth nearer than that of any other
planet-has been named Eros. A search

shown this interesting body on plates of
1894 and 1896, with a complete record of
its movement for more than four months.
AT its nearest approach in 1894, the planet
reached the seventh magnitude.

For two winters severe chilblains have
been treated by electric bath in the prac-
tlce OF DR.. H. Lewis Jones of st. Bar
tholomeW's hospital, London. He is sur
prlsed that the advantages of the simple
application have been so generally over
looked. He uses an induction coil, at
taching the wires to two metallic plates,
which are placed at the two ends of an
ordinary earthenware footbath filled with
warm water. This bath is used at bed
time for ten or fifteen mute on the ap-
pearance of threatening symptoms. With
a current as strong as can be readily
borne, the electric stimulation quickly
sets up a glow of warmth in the feet,
causes swelling and congestion to dis
appear, and gives effects in relieving cold
feet as we'll as chilblains, far beyond
those of an ordinary footbath. A course
of eight or ten daily electric baths sc
improves the circulation as not only tC
Danish chilblainS but to prevent theil
return for a considerable time.
