Some One Had to Stay.

The story below is from Fl Diario, an Argentine newspaper published in Spanish. The anecdOte is told of pris- on in provincial town in Argentina:
 'An employee, whose duty it was to inspect them, arrived late at night at one of them and asked a ragged 'gauchO' who opened the door where the chief. of police was.
 ""The chief, sir,' he answered, lives at his farm, three or four leagues off. He seldom comes'
 "'And the second of policeY
 "'The second has not come for some time, sir. The poor man has his wife ill.,
 "'And the officer of the guardY
 "'He has been invited to a dance.'
 "'And the gendarmes?
 "'The gendarmes, sir, finish their duty at 6 p. m. and don't return till next day
 "'But this is scandal! There is no- body here to explain things. And you? Who are you?
 I am the prisoner, sir"
 The whole thing reads like an incl dent from a comic opera. But it is a perfectly literal translation from the paper mentioned.

Affected by Men.

Men have their little affectations, as we'll as women. Among the latest is that of turning the toes in. It is very impressive. With feet shod in the extra heavy and extra-big boots so fashion able just now, and accompanied by the popular peg-top trousers, the turned-in toes are at their awkwardeSt. It is all on account of the game of golf. Much golf makes one pigeon-toed, as is proved by the devOtees of the game. Instinctively In driving and swinging the feet veer inward, and before long they point that way off the links as we'll as on them. This principle once established, the next step was that all ambitious to become golfers should turn their toes in. Then everybody who hoped to be taken for golfer began to turn his toes in, and finally all those who blindly do thing just because everybody else Is doing it, and no mat ter how ugly and senseless the thing may be, became pigeon-toed.

The relation of the cigarette to crime was the subject of some startling sta7 tistics presented before the National Conference of Charities and Correc- tions at Cincinnati. Of the boys in the Illinois State Reformatory between the ages of ten and fifteen, 92 per cent. were confirmed cigarette smokers, and S5 per cent. so addicted to the habit, at the time of their conviction, as to be termed cigarette fiends" by the court. The superintendent who compiled these figures asserts that the cigarette works tenfold more injury to the boy under fifteen than do intoxicating liquors, and more than any other one sactor starts him on the road to criminal lire. While 1t is true that not every cigarette fiend becomes a criminal, the fact re- mains that the habit is acquired through evil associations; 1t involves demoralizing deception on the part or the boy at home; and by enfeebhng health and will makes the lad an easy prey to temptation. Prof. De Motte, of Bryn Mawr, visiting tobacco house in Brazil, noticed black fluid trickllng slowly into the vat of tobacco about to be made into cigarettes. Upon asking what it was he was told, Rum, mo- lasses and opium, to give spice to the cigarette" These are specific facts, which admit of no controversy. De ductions thereupon can be easily made by every reader.

balf-rose, and then crouched again as the thought came over me. The man is desperate. He won't allow a living witness of such a crime to escape. I fancied the gleam knife, and my bleeding body whirling down off the cliff into the dark water beneath. Life was too precious now to risk unneces- sarily.
 l had forgotten for the moment all about the boy. Suddenly, in a moment of mad fury-for he, too, had under stood the plot-he sprang up and beat with his fists upon the pane. Callan raised himself quickly but carefully, not forgetting the deadly string. What he did forget was how near he was to the stove. AS in dream I saw his coat catch against it. 1t swung, and the big kettle overbalanced. For an instant it seemed to hang in the air. I strove to call out It was too late. Smash, 1t fell right on the string. The whole world turned crimson and burst into a great glare of flame. Something struck me in the chest and drove me back wards.

 When I awoke 1t was bright day light. was in Callan's hut, on his cot. I felt sore and bruised all over, and at first could not remember what had happened.
 Then it began to dawn on me.

 "Shv' came in the same soft brogue as before. Don't talk! Callan won't be bothering ye any more. McKeown's not much the worse, barring his hair. And there's nothing broken in yerself." How long" was mad to know how soon I should be able to travel. The doctor checked me again.
 ''In a week." he said, ''if you lie still"
 I did, and tomorrow I am starting. Cicely will meet me at Holyhead.

LOVES LESSON.

A year ago, my love, tonight, l sat alone and sad,
 No friendly hand to clasp my own, No love to make me glad, Alone, with all life's sweets denied, = Of all life's joys bereft, With hope and happiness crushed out And only longing left. Alone and sad, no ray of light To beam across the way, No hand to smooth the aching head Or brush the tears away, No arms to clasp me close and warm, No tender lips to meet, No voice to whisper in my ear The words, ''I love you, sweet" A little year, but in its space Heavens gates have opened wide, Sorrow and pain are left without, And 1 am safe inside. Safe in the haven of your heart Contented just to know That you arc mine, and I am yours, Whate'er may come or go. What have you taught me, O my love, In that short happy year? That earth below and Heaven above Are sometimes very near. That when your arms can clasp me close Your lips to mine be given. I crave no more of earthly bliss, 1 ask no other heaven. -Waverley Magazine.

He Raised a Storm.

A handsome young fellow stood at the glove counter of large store the other day and fairly hypnotized the four girl attendants.
 He had a word for one, a smile for another, a wink for a third and a pink for the fourth-by far the pret- tiest of the quartet. The floral offering was too much for the pinkless three, and they all turned on the radiant recipient of the flower.
 "Say, Nellie Worries, you're too lresh! Amt you got a nerve! Flirt- hg that way with a stranger"
 "0h, go onP' laughed the shameless one. "Youse all jealous! Faint my fault If he thinks me the prettiest."
 The young man laughed gayly.
 That's so," he said. "And you are bo."
 He was a silly young man.
 For the trio now attacked him with zestfgl bitterness.
 "Say, mister, you'd better get your change and go before the floOrwalker eomes around. You'll get that poor girl discharged, and that'll be a nice thing, when her father drinks and her mothers in the hospital"
 Nellie" turned on them like fury.
 Don't you tell no lies about me" she said fercely, "or for two pins I'll tell what you said about the floor walker. You talk to me all you like, young man."
 But the young man had fed before the storm that he had so foolishlJ eomented.- Enquirer.

Wonders of the Steam Engine.

The nice adjustment necessary in the various parts of the immense engines now employed for some of the trains on our great railway lines may be indi- cated by a few data of the work per formed by these parts when the loco motive Is worked at high speed. Thus, in the case of passenger engine at 50 miles an hour, driving wheel of 51a feet diameter revolves five times ev- cry second, and, this being so, the re- ciprocating parts of each cylinder, in- cluding one piston rod, crosshead and connecting rod, weighing about $50 pounds, must move back and forth a distance equal to the stroke, say 2 feet, every time the wheel revolves, or in the fifth of a second; this weight starts from a state of rest at the end of each stroke of the piston and must acquire velocity of 32 feet per second in One-twentieth of second, and must be brought to state of rest in the same period of time A piston IS inch es in diameter has an area of 254115 square inches; steam of 150 pounds pressure per square inch would there fore exert a force on the piston equal to 3S,175 pounds, which force Is ap- piled alternately on each side of the piston ten times in Chicago Inter Ocean.
