own sake advise you to leave Ling.
I leave to-day, said the captain,
cheerfully; and then the two walked in
silence through the grounds. They
spoke no further words. When the
outer gate was opened, Captain Ayrton
turned with gay smile, for which the
squire could have felled him to the
earth, and raising his hte disappeared
down the high-rOad.
From one of the castle windows a
fair, wistful face had been looking
down upon them. SYPHILIS hopes rose
when she saw the two go out together;
at least there had been no quarrel, no
high words, no dispute, or they would
not have done that.
She watched them until the trees
hid both from her sight, then sat
down, poor, foolish child, to think of
the happiness awaiting her.
It was more than an hour afterward
that message came to her, saying
that the squire was in the library, and
wished to see her there.

Mr.. Maxim's Hand.

Il read with more than ordinary
interest your recent interview with
Hudson Maxim, the inventor of smoke
less powder" remarked a New York
merchant. Zone reason why it was
interesting to me was because of an
unusual incident which was the means
of my becoming ecquainled with Mr.
Maxim
The inventor, you know, has but
one hand, the other having been blown
off while he was experimenting with
some high explosive. s.ne first time i
ever saw Mr.. Maxim was one night on
an elavted railroad train. He was a
stranger to me at that time, and my at
tention was attracted to him by the
actions of half-drunken burly ruffian,
who sat in the cross seat opposite and
persisted in annoying him in one way
and another. A quiet protest from the
stranger brought torrent of vile
language from the ruffian, accompanied
by a hostile demonstration and a pro-
fame threat to push his head The
stranger paid as little attention to the
outrage as possible and Kept on read
ing his newspaper. I noticed that the
stranger had an artificial left hand,
which was gloved and looked very
much like the other one. When he got
up to leave the car at his station the
ruffian jeered at him, and getting up
from his seat followed him out 1t
wasn't my station, but feeling almost
certain that the stranger would need
some protection, I followed them out
of the car. The stranger went down
the stairs first, the ruffian few steps
behind him, grumbling all the way,
and I next. When the stranger
reached the bottom of The stair he
stepped out to t1e middle Of the side
walk, apparently making room for the
ruffian to pass him. Instead Of accept

Art Gallery for Buffalo.

The city of Buffalo is soon to have
one of the best fine-art galleries of
the country, which. will cost something
like $350,000 1t is the gift of J. J. AL
bright, one of the leading citizens of
the place and an art patron. The
only conditions imposed were that the
city should furnish the site and that
the Fine Arts Academy of Buffalo
should raise a maintenance fund of
100000. The lot has been decided,
and is within the limits of Delaware
Park, overlooking the beautiful Lake
park. The academy has also raised
the maintenance fund, and the build
ing will be completed in time to serve
as the art palace Of the Pan-American
Exposition. The edifice will be $50
feet long by $50 feet wide, the princi-
pal facade looking toward the east.
The architecture will be classic Greek.
The stone will be white marble.

Our Copper Product.

Few persons are aware, perhaps, OF
the extent to which the United States
has taken The lead in the production
of the worlds supply of copper. In
1899, according to the Engineering and
Mining Journal, the worlds production
was 1918 tons, the part contributed
by the Un-eed States being 265,156
tons, or more than half The other
large producers are Australasia, Can
ada, Cape of Good Hope, Chile, Ger
many, Japan, Mexico, Spain and Portu-
gal. The electrical uses of copper IN
creases the demand and the supply IN
creases yearly. The increase over
1898 was about 9 per cent. Baltimore
is prominent center for the produc-
ton of the finest grade of copper made
by the elecfrolytic process.

LADY CURZON.
Great Friendship For Mrs. Grover
Cleveland.


Cleveland.
1t has been said of Mary Letter, now
Lady Curzon, that she was not true to
early friendships. "The law of nature
is alteration forevermore, and every
mind that expands must outgrow the
objects that satisfied it at one period
of it's existence unless they are capable
in degree of keeping pace with its
progress. AS a matter of fact, while
there was a graciOusness in her man
ner towards all with whom she came
in contact, she formed but few close
friendships, the natural reserve of her
temperament rendering it impossible
for her to respond easily to those init
macies which enter into the lives of SO
many girls.
During the second administration of
President Cleveland there existed be-
tween his young wife and Miss Letter
a degree of friendship that was as fiat
tering to one as it was to the other, for
the Clevelands enjoyed the reputation
of choosing their friends for their per-
sonal charm.
During both of his terms of Office
Mr.. Cleveland had a home in the sub
urbs of Washington, where he and his
family passed much time between sea-
sons, and where they frequently enter

FAMOUS ASPHALT LAKE.
Millions of Tons of Material in SIGHT.


Asphalt is being dug out of the
famous tar lake of Trinidad-the most
notable existing source of the material
in the world-at the rate of eighty
thousand tons per annum. There are
still four and half million tons in
sight, but at this rate the supply could
not last long, were it not that the lake
of bitumen referred to is receiving a
constant accretion from the bowels of
the earth This accretion is reckoned
as amounting to about twenty thous-
and tons yearly, and would suffice to
restore the lake to it's original condH-
ton if it were allowed to remain un-
disturbed for a few years.
This wonderful lake of pitch has an
area of one hundred and fourteen
acres, and recent soundings made in
middle of it have shown it's depth to be
one hundred and thirty-five feet in that
part. Near the center it is semi
liquid and bubbling, but elsewhere it
has so hard surface that man on
horseback can ride over it without
danger of breaking through the crust.
Scattered over it's surface are NUN
Der of small islands which have no
proper roots in the earth, so to speak,
though trees of considerable size grow
on some of them. These islands are
not stationary, but are carried slowly
from place to place by the movements
of the lake. Now and then one OF
them is entirely engulfed. Saturday

A MISTAKE OF AMERICAN WOMEN

Taste, Besides Being UnheaIthfuI.
In furnishing our chambers, per-
haps, we commit the grossest viola
lions of the laws of good taste and of
good health at the same time" writes
Edward Box, in the November Ladies
Home Journal, in plea for the
simpler and better furnishing of our
homes. Instead of keeping sleep
ing apartment perfectly simple, put
ting into it only such articles as are
absolutely necessary, we load into it q
confusing mass of all manner of use
less things which have no place there.
Then we call such littered-up room
dainty. Truthfully speaking, the
average sleeping-room is mess OF
trifles never brought into use, which
have absolutely no business nor place
there. Whereas a sleeping apartment
should have the freest circulation CT
air, it is almost impossible for a current
of air to work it's way through. We
need not seek to have the barrenness
of the sleeping-rOoms of monasteries
or hospitals, and yet there is a lesson
in them by which many might richly
profit Here health comes in even
before good taste. We can scarcely
keep a sleeping-room too airy and
devoid of articles of furniture. Only
what is absolutely needed for actual
use should be in an apartment where
we spend one-third of our lives. The
private chamber is, really, an unerring
reflection of either wisdom or folly, Of
good taste or bad"

BosToN's MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL
No Artist Able to do Justice to the
Charms of Emily Marshall.

CnaFmS OF Emily MdFSnalls
''The pictures of Emily Marshall

William Perrine of '"The Loveliest
Women in All America" in the Ladies'
Home Journal, do not realize her
beauty as it appeared to those who
knew her. She was about five feet
five inhes in height; her figure was
luxuriantly delicate; her hair was of a
chestnut hue, and her luminous
eyes were said by some to be hazel in
color, by others black. Her cheeks
were rosy and dipled; her mouth dis
played teeth of perfect Wilderness; her
hair was worn curled behind the ears
and held by side combs, and her
features were brilliant with expression
when gay or laughing thought came
over her. At one time when she ap-
peared at fancy ball in the character
of Sweet Anne Page, of the Merry
Wives of Windsor and danced with
Thomas Willing, of Philadelphia, they
were thought to be the handsOmesU
pair that had ever graced such an
event. When Chester Harding, The
artist, wrote his autobiography he
confessed that he found it impossible
to catch the living fascination of her
countenance, and he declared that the
artists skill could not be put to a
secerer test, for her beauty depended
much upon the expression of her ami
mated face, which, when lighted up in
conversation, was beWitchingly love

of one thing; that is, the specu-

at present and we look for a de-
