BECAUSE SHE LOVES HIM.

woman whose face bore striking"
evidence Of her husbands affection.
Because he punched all the other fel-
lows heads" she answered, "and no.
body else dare make love to me-"
Another good lady confessed that
she fell in love with her husband be-
cause he was the "only man who ever
dared to snub her" While other men
were stumbling over each other to pay
her court and attention, he always
treated her with absolute indifference
and even rudeness.
The consequence was that she deter.
mined to bring him to her feet and his
knees. She succeeded, but lost her
heart in the attempt.
81 fell in love with my husband" one
lady recently declared, "because he
was the only man about whom no one
was ever heard to say an unkind word
Even the women, although he paid
them no especial attention, were
agreed that he was "a darling; and, al
though he was PLAIN, almost to ugli-
ness, and old enough almost to be my
father, / loved him and determined 10
marry him long before he had any such
thought of me-"
Not, long ago a Yorkshire lady of
wealth and beauty shocked her friends
by marrying a poor cripple. 1t had
come to her ears that he had long loved
her in silence and had counted each day
happy if he only caught distant
glimpse of her. She discovered that he
was a devoted son and brother, and
man of unusual gifts and culture for
his humble position; and, moved by
one Of those sudden, generous i'm
pulses to which some women are liable,
she sought an interview with him, told
him that she had learned his secret
and offered her hand and fortune. This
may appear strange and improbable
thing, but thousands know that 1t is
literally true.
Another lady whose marriage result
ed from a similar impulse gives this
explanation of it: Among the friends
of her family was an old bachelor with
a reputation for crustiness, who had
known her from child and had often
nursed her in early days. To her he
had always been gentle and kind, and
she had loved him sin way" as long
as she could remember.
One day she said: "Why have you
never married, Mr.. -w MARRY, my
dear! Why, no one would ever marry
grumpy old man like me-" "Of course
they would" she answered, indignant
ly. "Why, would marry you myself"
''Thank you, my dearl" came the uneN-
pected answer; "then We'll consider
the matter settled"
In spite of her surprise and misgiv-
ings the girl Loyalty kept her promise;
! and she has never had reason to regret
her moments indiscretion."
A lady friend of the writer married
her husband for the very illogical rea.
son that he was an avowed woman
| hater. He made no secret of his aver
sion to the fair sex, and declared it SO
constantly that, as she says, 81 vowed
/ would convert him and make him
change his mind, at least so far as one
of my sex was concerned" He was not
a difficult convert, for within 12
months he had forsworn his creed so
far as to conduct one of the "hated
sex" to the altar; and now he declares
that he "loves them all."--London Tit.

whims of Famous Singers.

Nine. Patti would never play in an
opera where anyone had to sit on a
table. This was because she had not
made the success in Carmen that she
had in other operas. She attributed
this entirely to the fact that she had
to sit or table in the inn scene in
the second act. Nine. Scalchi was in
very sad way if she met anyone that
squinted, and she would go through
a long lot of evolutions to rid her.

WATER PURIFIED BY OZONE
The Successful Plan of Moscow for
keeping Down Infectious
Disease Germs.

A new method of sterlzing city's
water supply is being successfully op
Grated in Russia, and it was described
at the annual meeting of the Ameri,
can association of water works en-
gineers in paper forwarded by
Nicholas Simin, chief engineer of the
city of Moscow, where the system has
been adopted and according TO Mr..
Simin is universally commended, says
the Boston Globe.
The plan is to sterilize the water
by the introduction of ozonized air,
and it is contended on its behalf that
it destroys all the bacteria in the
water and makes it at comparatively
small cost absolutely safe for drink
ing purposes.
So far, the system has not been
adopted outside of Russia, but NJ.
Simin contends that in this country
conditions are more favorable than
anywhere else for its adoption, and
he advocates its introduction here as
tending to solve all problems in re-
gard to contaminated water supplies.
The system is based upon the prin-
ciples that ozone burns all organic
matter with which it comes into con-
tact in water, including bacteria and
their vital products, that with water
which has been freed previously Of
suspended matter the destruction of
the bacteria is equally efficient no
matter how great may be the num-
ber, and that the pathogenic bacteria
are among the first to be destroyed.
The publication of the water in
this way is simply development Of
and an improvement upon the or
dinary aeration of water by means
Of atmospheric air. The air, before
coming in contact with the water,
is subjected to series of electrical
discharges which convert the oxygen
from diatomic oxygen to triatomic
oxygen which is ozone and is remark
able for its power Of oxidizing or
ganic matter including the bacteria
in water. The cost is put at 1925 for
each 100000 gallons, or in large
,lants even less.
Extensive experiments in the sys-
TEN have been made in France, Ger
many, Holland and Belgium. The
necessary removal of suspended mat
ter is accomplished by using small
quantity of coagulant for mere clari-
fcation, NJ. Simin says. Ozonization
oxidizes not only the bacteria, but all
organic matter The water is rem
dered colorless, sparkling and odor-
less. 1t has an agreeable and re-
freshing taste and there is introduced
into it no foreign matter except oxy-
gen, which, of course, is beneficial.

The Republican Way.

One Of the strongest indictments that
can be framed against the Republican
party is that its policy is so largely a
covert one. Excepting the tariff, there
has scarcely been an issue before the
country for the last ten OF fifteen years
that the leaders Of the party have fairly
and squarely met. Upon the money
question they gradually slid 10 the sup
port Of the gold standard. all the while
declaring that they were bimetaliists
by policy and tradition. And a nice
mess they would have made in doing
SO if nature had not stepped in with
a bountiful supply Of gold.
At this time il is clear 10 close OBJ
servers that the party viii do nothing
10 curb the trusts; and yet with the
exception Of Senator Marcus A Hanna
there is not a really prominent man
in Republican political circles who
dares publicly 20 express the opinion
that the trusts ought not 10 b. curbed
Many Of them, Of course, think So and
will act upon that belief. but they viii
do II under cover They will offer all
sorts Of frivolous excuses for inaction
Some will be afraid Of disturbing bus
ness: others viii manifest the most ten
der solicitude for the wageworkers.
and stu others will be full Of fear lest
the small manufacturers may get hurt.
All Of these reasons viii be given for
not doing anything, and running
through them here and there we may
detect yelled and guarded defeuces OF
the trus.s themselves. the defences
usually taking the form OF apology. ex-
cuse. and eXtenuation- But in the full
ness Of time all Disguise will be thrown
of. After the people have been tolIed
along step by step 10 the point Of &C
cepting such a doctrine. il VIII sudden
~ be discovered by the leaders that
the trusts are great public 6enefactOrs,
that the tariff created the trusts; that
the trusts created our unexampIad
prosperity. and that the Industrial sal
walton Of the country depends upon the
maintenance Of the trusts with con-
stantly augmenting wealth and power.
And so with the shipping subsidy
scheme. At present only a few Re
publican leaders have the hardihod to
defend such a measure. In their hearts
they know that a more infamous at
tempt 10 loot the Treasury was never
made IN the United States. That its
benefits viii be exclusively localized at
Il very few points on the Atlantic sea
board, and that whatever the amount
OF the appropriation may be, IL will be
n Gear gift 10 a few rich navigation
companies. Here again the refreshing
frankness Of Mr.. Hanna Is I'm evidence.
He does not hesitate TO declare that the
subsidy will be a good thing And so
