at her a calm always came over him.
that he could not explain. Even when
absent from her. he generally pictured
her as a limpid spring from which
peace was always flowing. Nothing
on EARTH he imagined, could ever ruff
fie her.
The dinner passed on perfectly. All
seemed thoroughly pleased with them
selves and the world In general.
II was an hour later. and he was
sitting by vera's side in the drawing
room. They were enjoying an animat-
ed discussion on some topic OF public
interest. and no chance had SO far
presented itself. At last. In pure des-
peration. Arthur blurted out. during a
slight fall in the tide of argument:
This room is terribly close: shall we
finish our little controversy in the gar
den?'
Vera was nothing Ioath.
II was q lovely night; the sky was
. mass Of twinkling stars. and the
moon gave a light that one could
easily read by. Such a moment seemed
specially ordained for love-making,
love whispered in the trees and echoed
in the bushes. And yet these two still
continued to disagree, as II such ro-
mantle evenings were intended for the
battledore and shuttlecock OF social
commonplaces.
They had by now wandered TO an ar
Dor. and without either Of them draw
ing attention to II. they entered and
sat down In the two deck chairs 1t
boasted. Vera tried TO continue the
subject at issue. but Arthur remained
silent In this wise the conversation

When Q burglar alarm rings out In
the middle OF the night 1t Is apt to

wee sma' hours between dark and
daylight a household Of two women
was aroused by the sudden piercing
jangle Of the burglar alarm. They
clutched each other with smothercd
shrieks OF terror and lay waiting the
onslaught of the man OF blood and

and every sound seemed frausht with

out of the room and down the dark

an instant or two of breathless inds-

floor. and still no sight Of an intrud-

E-rfect wreck" said Arthur Mason to
himself one evening. as he sat gazing
thoughtfully at the fireplace. For the
last six months l have been head over
heels In love with Vera Fray.and. what
is worse. not had the pluck to tell her
SO. But she is such peculiar girl"
he argued in ssif-defense). If it was
any one else wouldn't hesitate mo-
ment"
Mason was a man of about 25. and
as full of passion and sentiment as a
man well could be. But he had been
brought up in orthodox English style
with many sharp lessons never to be-
tray his feelings. These lessons had
been so hammered into him in his
youth that he found now. that even
against his own wishes II was almost
impossible to show what his real opin-
ion was of anything that affected his
likes or dislikes. When he was most
happy people thought him sad.and vice
versa. It was, perhaps. on account Of
things that he invariably saw the fun
ny side first. sometimes on the most
serious occasions.
His passion for Vera at times made
him laugh, and when on the verge of
proposing TO her the thought would
strike him how foolish he would look.
The truth of it was. he knew too much
OF the world. and the love affairs OF
his friends had appeared ridiculous to
him.
One of the chief attractions OF Vera
in his opinion was her passive nature.
and 1t was that perhaps which made
him falter. The idea of her being in
love seemed absurd to him.
The week following the self-com-
munings just recorded. he knew that
Vera would lie at dinner party to
which he hnt also been invited. and
he determine 4. IL an occasion arose
for a serious talk. to have the matter
settled. How he would manage 1t he
did not dare to decide: chance. he
thought, would have to be his guide.
Mrs. Fairburn's drawing room was
packed on the night Of the dinner.
So much so that poor Mason's heart
sank. II Vera did come his opportun-
ity for a tete-a-tete with her appeared
small. She was popular person. and
he kr.w she would be dragged OF to
entertain some Of the Lions" of the
evening.
The Fairburns' house luckily boast
ed one Of the finest gardens in Sus-
sex. and II he could persuade his idol
to go for stroll in that garden he
meant to do so.
At dinner Vera sat directly opposite
him, and he inwardly blessed his host
ess for not crowding the table with
flowers. ferns. or ornaments. which

BOON FOR THOSE DEMEnTED.
Newly Invented strait-Jacket That
 Will Save Much Suffering.


 From Washington Times: J. M. Hooper of Baltimore applied for patent papers on an invention that promises to be of incalculable assistance to hos pitals and public and private asylums where insane, delirious or unruly patients are handled The invention is known as a rest sheet and strait Jacket and is a com mbination of both, holding the patient securely and com fortably without even the aid of an at tendant. All the hospitals have felt the need of just such an invention as has been perfected by MT. Hooper, and hospital attendants in general will hail with delight the advent of the sheet and jacket that will save both mauy struggles with wild sufferer and in many cases personal injury of some sort to either the patient or the nurse. The patent is especially to protect in- sane or delirious patients, and can be adjusted to any bed whatsoever. It can be affixed as readily to a cot or sur gical table, and the patient is held in such way as not alone to avoid per- sonal injury, but also to prevent the exposure of any part of the body. This will be especially advantageous in many cases where exposure to the air is especially deleterieus to the suffer- er's chances of recovery. The pa- tient may be left entirely alone without fear, for the strongest man is utterly helpless when under the sheet. The sheet is made of heavy cotton duck. which can be both laundered and ster- ilized, thus fulfilling all hygienic con- ditions. The sheet fits close around the neck of the prostrate patient, be- ing edged with chamois to avoid chaf- ing. The arms come through two openings in the sheet and are held down in chamois lined duck trar ar- rangement that gives ease yet security. The feet are strapped in like manner, being covered with an extra flap of cotton duck to keep off flies and air. This extra flap gives certain freedom to the feet that would be impossible | if placed under the main sheet which Is drawn down tight by the fastenings. These are made in such a way as to be impossible to tear out. The head can be turned and the body to some ex- tent, but the most frantic struggles would be productive of no harm on tho part of the patient. Two extra straps can be run across the body if deemed necessary The device has been in use In the city hospital in Baltimore for l the past six months, and is given the | highest endorsement.

A PARIS EXPOSITION NOVELTY
rhe Imitation Voyage Which May be
 Taken on the Grounds.


 Possibly the most striking of the many novelties which will be offered to the visitors at the coming Paris ex- position will be the 'sMareorama. as it is called. This is great mock ocean steamer. It is arranged pre- cisely like one of the transatlantic yes sels, has a crew and captain, and even the motion of a ship speeding through the waves. It does net move from the spot on which 1t is erected, but to those on board the illusion promises to be perfect. The passengers are sup posed to be on a journey from Mar seilles to Constantinople, and as the last bell sounds "all ashore the harbor of Marseilles seems to recede from ihe vision, the vessel passes out to sea, Gnd all of the scenery of the coast passes in view. This is done by large number of paintings which unroll in panorama fashion, and are so re- alistic that the observers, if not over critical, may really imagine that they are taking the sail. The vessel rocks and throbs as if it were really on the ocean, and this is brought about by the machinery which gives the vessel the required motion. Meals are served and if you are not careful you viii find your soup in your lap. Genuine sea sickness will be the portion of all pre- disposed to that ailment, and it will be almost as if the actual voyage were taken, except that it will last but short time. The coast of Algiers, Tunis, and much of the Mediterranean sea will pass before the eyes of the passengers, and at last, the Golden Horn, the port of Constantinople will be entered. The painting of the pan orama has been entrusted to Hugo d'Alexis, graphic artist who has de- picted the scenes in all their natural beauty. It will be cheap and speedy method of making the journey, not to mention the novelty of experiencing all of the pleasures and some of the qualms of long sea voyage, without the least danger of shipwreck.

 s Palper Europe has caused an out kry from a new line of American ln- 6ustry, says the Philadelphia Times. 4merican articulators of skeletons are AID in arms against the importation or <he pauper skeletons of Europe Ma
 I've bones, in consequence of recent
 Expectations, are quiet and depressed,
 khile the demand is for the products
 d the French and German markets.
 irst-elass American skeletons are a
 lrug in the market at $8012.5o, while The Gallic or Teutonic article, not one EWhit more serviceable, brings fancy price. A recent Frenchman, who hap pened to depart this life with full set *of teeth, is offered at $35, ordinarily Eimported skeletons going from $20 to M$27. .50, according to the number of zteeth they were shy. Purchasers cam Enot be fooled by false teeth. The only Superiority in the foreign article is in Kthe matter of complexion. Frenchmen Eand Germans who have shed all or Themselves except their bones bleach Kbetter, or their survivors are able to Ebleaeh them better. In the matter of Articulation the American workman IS perhaps the superior of the European artist, but he cannot get in the t1nts and the refreshing shades of complex ion so much admired by skeleton ex- perts, or those who desire such articles for household ornamentation. Skulls are s2.50@325, varying according to size and the skill displayed in prepara- tion. A skull that was prepared for the market with brick is not in as much favor as one that found it's way in by the natural channels. The de- mand for pelvises is light, at $1.40@ 2.65; tibia, in slight call at 45@55c. Feet articulated are quoted Lefts, $2@2.75; rights, $2.10@2.S5; west sides (by weight only), $4.30. Hands are slow and generally unsatisfactory at $1@4.50, although fancy price, $68.4o, was paid for one recently just before the close of the market, or rather an inspection was secured of it for that sum. Wooden legs are heavy and slow, but continue moving up and down a peg. In teeth it's the same old grind. Full sets are moving up and down at S3@125; bicuspids, by the brace, are steady at s2@2.75; molars, dull at 75c csc. Wisdom are dear.

Antique Pianos.

Frarnkfort-on-the-M Main Correspond ence of the Chicago Record: There is very interesting collection of old pianos in the Roman museum at Hilde> sheim, Germany. Dating all the way from the end of the seventeenth cen tury, the collection exhibits in a very Instructive way the primitive origin of piano manufacture, and gives one an idea of the simple instruments used by our greatest music Composers. The oldest instrument on exhibition is a small clavichord of the seventeenth century, possessing thirty-four tones with twenty-eight two-choral bound strings. Another of equal antiquarian value has four full octaves-a one chord Italian spinet, built at an angle and possessing rich and beautiful tone for singing accompaniments. The strings are rifted with pointed crow auills. Both instruments date from the time of Handel, Bach and Gluck. One instrument was made in the first half of the eighteenth century, and is bound clavichord of four and one half octaves. fifty-eight tones and forty strings. There is also an instrument from the second half of the last cen tury which possesses five and one fourth octaves. The last two are sup piled with strings tipped with brass. and their immediate followers were the hammer pianos of 1760, used at the Gme by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and even by Mendelssohn, Bartholdy, Chopin. and Franz Liszt during their youth.
