electric light. In the Rambla, the prin-
cipal street of Barcelona, may be seen
several Of these writing booths Of the
public scribes. There, for a small con-
sideration, the illiterate or anyone else
may have anything indited, from the
poetry of a love epistle to the prosaic
application for situation. The front

INSISTED ON FRESH AIR.
And She Compelled the Cold-BlOoded
Man to Stand the Chilling
DrauEht.

Travelling brings out the idiosyncra-
sizes of people as no other experience
can effect. Certainly the man and
woman who occupied opposite com
partments in a car that recently rolled
westward from New York could not
be said to be as conveniently adjusted
as Jack Sprat and his wife.
It was very cold morning outside
the framework of the Pullman, but
within the heat surged the mercury up

The official hesitated only an instant,
for the woman's quick "Do it at once,

FLASHLESS GUNS.
The Latest Artillery Improvement Il
Far Ahead of SmOkeless
Powder.

1t is reported that the new French
rapid fire gun invented by Col. Hum
bert gives no flash or sign Of fire. If
this be true, the French have made an
advance in artillery second only in Inn
portance to that which marked the in
PRODUCTION by them of smokeless pow
ders says the Scientific American In
the operations around Santiago the
only means by which our men could
locate the position of the enemy was by
the flash. If this should be removed
the art of war, especially on land. will
become more difficult than ever, for a
masked battery of smokeless powder
and. f1ashless guns would be positively
undiscoverable. The only description
of the gun that has come to hand is
rather obscure; but 1t would seem that
an attempt is made to cool the larger
portion of the gases below their fash
point before they are allowed to reach
the open adr. The rate of fire has
reached a maximum of 20 shots per
minute. To accommodate the In
creased expenditure of ammunition 1t
is proposed to reduce single battery
from five to four guns and increase the
number of ammunition wagons.

TRAIN REHEARSAL.
1t Was Held So That Queen VictOriA's
Journey Might BE
Perfect.

The queens journey to the Riviera
was rehearsed so that all arrangements
for speedy and convenient trip could
be settled beforehand, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. The royal train num-
bered eight carriages, and included her
majesty's saloon. The train left Wind
sor at II o'clock in the morning, the
hour fixed for her majesty's departure,
and proceeded over the Great Western
railway to Addison road, thence via
Swanley junction on the London, Chat
ham & Dover line, and subsequently by
the Southeastern railway, past Ash
ford to Folkstone, where it arrived at
1870 o'clock in the afternoon, that be-
ing the time proposed for the queens
embarkation in the Calais-Douvres for
Boulogne.
On arrival at Folkestene the train was
shunted at the junction, and proceeded
through the harbor station direct on
to the new pier, where her majesty en-
barked. The special platforms were
fitted from the train across the pier to
thesteamer, and the gangways from the
quay to the steamer were also tried and
fitted. The Calais-Douvres left Folke-
stone about two o'clock in charge OF
Capt. Dixon, and made a splendid pas
sage across to Boulogne, covering the
81 miles in an hour and 25 minutes. Al
Boulogne the landing arrangements
were rehearsed at Folkestone, and the
steamer subsequently recrossed the
channel to Dover. The rehearsal was
j considered in every way a success.

a hearty laugh, which Cortrell was not
long in taking up.
But at that moment the street door
was opened, and then the door of the
library, where these two stood laugh
ing over an old pair of gloves, and the
servant girl, in her directed and dis
tinctive manner, pronounced, "Mr.
Bristol"
There was nothing really embarrass-
ing in the situation; the embarrass-
ment was only apparent. The event
might have been different if all the per-
sons concerned had looked at the case
as it should have been looked at. But
while the girl, with Characteristic can
dor, saw only the reality, Cortrell was
for some reason impressed chiefly by
the appearance. Bristol, perhaps nat
urally, reflected only Cortrell's view.
He at once walked to the table and
lifting the gloves, said, with eyes raised:
"a present? Won't you let me into
your joker"
"How are you, Bristol ?" Cortrell said,
holding out his hand. Il hope you
haven't forgotten me-"
The worst of it was that Edna was
still laughing. And there were the
gloves. Bristol appeared to think that
the situation demanded display of
quiet dignity.
Il remember you perfectly, Mr.. Cort-
rell," he said, bowling slightly. MAY I
ask again what amuses you SO much ?''
| Edna became serious in a moment,
and as she became serious she became
angry.
''It isn't very much of joke, Mr..
| Bristol" she said. ''If you insist on
| having it, however, Mr.. Cortrell has just
found an old pair of gloves of mine and
has brought them to me, because it
didn't occur to him to put them in the
] fire. Isn't it funny?"
81 hardly think So" Bristol answered
perhaps I might appreciate the joke
, better if 1 knew where Mr.. Cortrell
found these gloves"
AS Cortrell opened his mouth to make
some answer to him, Edna, putting uE
her hand said: This is my business
I'm afraid you will not have an oppor

tunity to fully appreciate the joke, Mr..
Bristol, until you manage to get your
self into better humor for that sort
of thing"
Then there was an awkward pause
for some moments, until Cortrell said
something about going.
"Why, I've hardly had ten words with
you yet, Mr.. Cortrell," Edna said, with
wicked glance at the other man.
please don't go yet. Perhaps-per-
haps I may find something of interest
to show you, if you'll wait a little
longer"
"Then, perhaps, had better call at
some other time," Bristol said.
It was a very awkward situation, in
deed. Bristol could not stay after this
last observation of his, and Cartrell
could not run away after Edna's press
ing invitation.
Half an hour later Cortrell said:
"What did you mean by saying that
you might find something interesting
to show me?"
''Did II" said Edna. "Do you hold me
to it? It occurred to me suddenly. Wait
here"
She ran out of the room and after a
little while came back, holding some
thing behind her.
"Do you recognize this ?" and she sud-
denly produced an old faded red velvet
smoking cap. 1t was Mephisto, with
sides pulled down and am absurd brush
at one side.
"By Jingo!" Cortrell exclaimed.
"Yes," said Edna "You had to go
home bareheaded."
"It was that night, wasn't it, after we
had all been to the mill"
Remember the water rats?'
"And you would pull off your gloves
and try to reach pond lilies."'
Edna nodded. Sand you wouldn't
give them back to me-"

eyes, and I made him give it to me
to keep in pledge for my gloves"

Barsom?"
about week ago." Edna said, look
ing little confused. II didn't know
you were coming home then"
of course you were going to send it
to me?"
s"Of course I was"
'By the way, didn't it occur to you to
burn it?"
Then both burst out laughing once
more.
AS for the story that Bristol and Cortr
rell had high words after that, and that
mutual friends with difficulty prevented
them from fighting duel. there never
was anything in it. Bristol was a sen.
sible man at bottom, even though irasci

apology to Edna Barsom for his ex.

But the Bristol-Barsom wedding was
