Pinkie Billmore sat with her face half
averted from him.
Ia the young mans flushed cheek, trem-
bling lip and agitated manner there were
unmistakable signs of coming outburst.
The emotions of an overcharged heart
could be crushed down no longer.
Flavius Josephus Millsap was no stranger
to the Billmore mansion. He pervaded it
three or four evenings every week, as rule,
and oftener still as frequent exception.
Everybody in the house, from the aged
grandmother to the kitchen lady, knew he
came to see Miss Pinkie
Even Miss Pinkie knew it, despite the
iact that he had never explicitly said so.
In like manner be knew she was perfectly
willing for him to pervade the mansion, &C
cordlng to rule or exceptionally, though she
had never actually expressed herself to that
effect.
Yet she sat with her face half averted
from him.
Such is the contradictory, tantalizing, ex-
asperating habit Of the young woman of all
clmes, kindreds, tongues, and periods of the
worlds history.

He made slight motion as if to take her

But she still sat with her face half avert

"Pinkie, why do you think I've been COM

"Seven months" she murmured.
This was not encouraging, on the face of
it, but he went ahead:

HARD TO GET.
The Girls Were Learning to Make
Hair Flowers and They
Wanted White.

A venerable white-haired clergyman re-
Gently preached in the church of friend.
He had hardly got back to the vicarage
from the church when the door bell rang
and a young lady asked to see him. He re-
ceived her. They talked about the sermon
and ether things, until finally she asked,
diffidently:
"Oh, won't you please give me lock of
Certainly, my child" said the old gentle
man, hattered at the request. "Pu send it
to you tomorrow" And he did.
On his return to his own home he had
five more requests of the same kind, and
he proudly boosted to his wife that he was
glad to see that he had not yet lost his
power to please. All went well until his
wife received this note:
Dear Mrs. Fourthly: Won't you please
ask your husband to send me Just little
lock of his hair? We have all been taking
lessons in making hair flowers. So many Of
the other girls asked him, and he sent it to
them, that thought / would rather ask
you to get it for me. Won't you please do
this for me. It is so hard to get white hair
for lilies of the valley"
This was a terrible blow, and the less
now said about locks of hair in that old
gentleman's presence the better.-Cincin-

Resisting Power of snow.

Some experiments were made recent
~ In France on the penetrative power
OF bullets through snow. The results
were astonishing. The Lebel rife vas
used, and at distance of 160 feet the
bullet penetrated only five feet IN: n the
snow target. A bullet from Lebel
rifle has been known, it is said, to go
through tree of 311s feet in diameter
presumably through the whole length
of the diameter; that it should Gene
trate only Is inches farther into such
soft stuff as snow seems altogether
startling. The explanation suggested
by the experimentalists is that the ro-
tating bullet picks up particles of snow
as it goes in and so gets "balled," or
blocked up. The result is curious
enough to encourage further expert
ment. One would like to know, fnr in
stance, whether a non-rotating hall
from smooth bore would show ne.ter
penetration, as it should on the theoi.H-
advanced. These are not expcrir,s nts
without a practical value. A lrlowl-
edge OF the defensive resistance of a
snow wall to the impact of rife b-I:'ets
might be of the greatest Value oci.

FACTS FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS.

What is needed among amateurs is
more study and thought and not so
many photographs.
Poor slides often make excellent COW
er glasses if they are free from bubbles
and well cleaned. Thus they are not
total losses.
Toning in photography means tint
ing or giving a slight change of color.
1t might just as well be called gliding,
for in the toning bath thin layer of
gold is deposited on the surface of the
picture.
1t is point to bear in mind in
right for lantern with oil light are all
wrong for the oxygen jet. Again. those
that are suitable for the latter are not
the finest for the electric light.
1t is rule of photography that
breadths of shade should if possible be
linked together by other accidental
shadows. and the toning bath il some
times manipulated to put the desired
harmony there. This recalls the old
story of the artist who was asked what
the dog was doing in his picture.
Why" said he. 'he is carrying the
light and shade through it."

A VEGETABLE EXPLOSIVE.
1t Is a Curious Fruit That Has RecD
Discovered in the WildS
of Batavia.

A very curious fruit has been dis
covered growing wild in Batavia, and
Il sample has been sent to French pro-
fessor of botany at Paris. 1t appears
to be species of bean, resembling a
cigar in form and color, though only
about an inch in length. But it has
a peculiar characteristic which renders
it very unique and interesting OBJ
ject, and this is the exceedingly ener-
getic manner in which it scatters its
seeds. If one of these little fruits be
thrown into basin of water it will rest
quietly on the surface for from two to
i've minutes, then it will explode with
violence, hurting most of its contents
into the air with noise and splash for
all the world like a small torpedo. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that this
phenomenon is caused by the pressure
of the elastic substance of its interior
overcoming the resistance of it's hard
outer shell.
The fruit usually splits open length
wise. If plucked before maturity and
allowed to ripen in a warm spot, it
opens gradually from apex to base,
making, as it were, a pair of diverging
horns starting from the same point
If left to ripen on the plant, since the
process is quicker and the internal
moisture greater, the opening is sud
den and accompanied with a slight
noise, though this is much less than
that which takes place when it has
been placed in water. In this case the
dry but porous tissue of the surface of
the fruit quickly absorbs the liquid,
especially at the grooves caused by the
junction of the two valves or outer
shells of the fruit. The internal It's
sue being very elastic, exerts upon the
latter a tension which soon results in
tn evident bursting already described.
The curious property of explosion is
given the little plant for the disse1nina
ton of its seeds, which would otherwise
stand poor chance of propagating it's
species.-Montreal Witness.
