TEST OF THE HEART.

pretty. N
farnum advised me to remain an old
Dachelor-told me a man past 40 sim
ply made fool Of himself by matri-
mony. -.
Tewksbury-a man who is notorious

toid me she had had love affair with
Harry Birmingham before he went
south.
Allen shook his head and said Clara
Myers might be very pretty, but he
liked somebody maturer and more set
tied. IN. Bile married his house
keeper the next week, and she is ma
lure enough for Methuselah himself!)
Everybody thought l was trying a
dangerous experiment, but didn't pre-
tend to suit everybody. so l simply
suited myself. went quietly to church
with Clara Myers and married her one
glorious January morning, when the
eave5 OF old St. Pauls were fringed
with glittering icicles, and the brisk
wind was freighted with particles OF
flying snow. like battalion of dia-
monds on the double quick.
She was 10 and was nine and
thirty: She was as beautiful as "a ROSE
bud. with a shy. pretty way. like a
timid child. and am a rough old
codger, sound enough at heart, but, like
winter apple. unpromising on the ex-
terror.
In short, We were as unlike as May
and November, and the good-natured
world shook Its head and said mo good
could come OF such an unequal match. :"
But she said she loved me, and l be-
lieved her. Nobody could look into
Clara's blue eyes and not believe her.
You see!
And the next day l made a will and
bequeathed all my property uncondi-
tionally to my wife.
Are you sure you are doing n wise
thing. Mr.. Folliott?" said Mardyn. the
lawyer. pushing his blue spectacles up
on his forehead, until he looked like a
bald old gnome with double pair OF
eyes. You see, she is very much
younger than yourself. and"
Please be so kind as to mind your
own business" said l. brusquely.
Don't be offended. Mardyn; but really
people seem to suppose am not able
to attend to my own affairs!'
Just as you please. sir-just as you
please" said Mardyn, In a rage. Il am

Amphibious Automobiles.

A Swedish engineer, Mr.. Magrelem,
has lately built a tramway boat that is
really an amphibious means OF loco
motion, for II moves along quite as
easily on the water as on railway
track. The tramway boat was devised
to ply across two lakes north OF Copen-
hagen, divided by neck OF land about
800 meters wide. II had been nearly
decided TO dig canal across the 18TH
mus In order to connect the two sheets
of water by a continuous channel. when
Mr.. Magrelam offered his plan. The
amphiblous steamboat. as described by
the Automobile Magazine, is Is meters
long by four meters beam; she weighs
II tons when empty and Is tons with
her maximum load. The engine Is 25
horse power. and It's action is trans
mitted by means OF triple ar.elther
TO the propeller or to the rimmed
wheels. She can carry 20 passengers.
In passing from the liquid medium to
the solid road the boat enters a small
canal having a slightly inclined bottom
and two grooves. where the front
wheels are engaged and then meet tho
rails. with which they keep in contact
by the action OF some pins or spikes.
As soon as contact is secured the whole
power OF the engine is brought to bear
on the front wheels. which easily pull
the tramway boat up the incline to the
dry land and make her travel on the
rails like an ordinary ear. on reach
Ing the other side OF the is,hmus she
launches herself by the same process.

HALF THE PEOPLE ASIATICS.
Foreign Population Of Hawaiian Is
lands Increasing Rapidly.

Washington, May 7.-Joshna K.
Brown, United States Chinecc inspect
Or at Hawaii, has made a report to
the commissioner Of genera immigra-
ton relating to the Introduction Of
Asiatic labor into the islands. The
report says the executive council is
Low considering the question. both
with reference to the present needs of
the islands in their rapidly increasing
agricultural development, and as to
the effect that any attempt to meet the
increasing demands for labor may
have upon their future relations to
home government" This has resulted
in a notice to the planters association
that some policy must be adopted look
ing to the restriction Of the present
influx of Asiatic laborers. About half
Of the population, Brown says, is
Asiatic, and of this number the jap
anese exceed the Chinese by 10000.
He predicts that before the end of the
present year the Asiatic population of
the islands will largely exceed all
ether nationalities combined, and
that the excess of the Japanese over
the Chinese will be fully double what
it is now.

Gives the Results Of His Investigations

Physicians in Washington-The
Water Supply at All Of the Camps,
He Says, Was GOOD.

Washington, May 1.-THE session OF
the Association Of American Physi-
clans yesterday was marked by an i'm
portant paper on typhoid in volunteer
camps by DR.. Vaughn, one Of the board
OF surgeons appointed by Surgeon
General Sternberg last summer to look
into the matter Of the epidemic Of ty-
phoid prevalent in the various army
camps. DR.. Vaughn's paper was a Sc
we're arraignment Of the volunteer sur
geons and Incidentally of the officers
who were responsible for the policing
Of the great camps at Jacksonville,
Chichamauga, Camp Alger and Mon
tauk Point. The board made a careful
examination of the water supply at the
various camps and found that the
prevalent typhoid could not be laid to
impure water to any large degree. The
explanation, DR.. Vaughn said, was in
the disgustingly filthy condition of the
camps.

MUCH FOOD ADULTERATED.
Government Chemists Interesting
Testimony-Honey Most Abused.

Chicago, May 4-According to DR..
H. Wiley, chief chemist of the depart
ment of agriculture, who was called
yesterday to testify before the senate
rial pure food investigation committee,
fully 80 per cent. of the articles of food
and drink manufactured and used in
this country are adulterated. This ap-
plies to all kinds of dairy products,
he said, as well as to every variety of
condiments, including even coffee in
the berry. In milk, according to Dr.
Wiley, the most common practice is
to abstract the fatty substances in
cream and adulterate with water. In
addition preservatives are used to no
small extent to prevent the liquid
from souring. In butter the common
way of defrauding the public is by the
substitution of both animal and veg
etable fats for the natural fat of the
milk. Both cotton seed oil and high
grades Of lard are employed in this
work. Honey, DR.. Wiley said, is
probably a more abused article in the
line of adulteration than any other
L uc Sdlu Lucl0 Is very llIIlS
pure beer made in this country, fully
70 per cent. of it being made from
some other article than malt. DR..
Wiley said Vermont maple sugar was
manufactured at Davenport, Ia, out
Of brown sugar and extract of hickory
bark and was not deletrious In
fact, he said, it is impossible for chem
lists to distinguish the two. The sugar
was the same and the natural ethic
that gave G1aple sugar its flavor and
distinctive duality was too infinitely
small to segregate in analysis. Elk
tract of hickory, he said, was about
the same as naples flavor. Spices.
he said, were adulterated and peanut
shells were palmed off as ground Gin
namOn.
