ABOUT A MINK.
33333333333333333333333ss

NM lSS BETTY MAYNE had been
lml back in Lindenthorpe for a
week, and for week Linden
thorpe had been shocked Miss Mayne
felt hurt. When she returned she had
been homesick for the sea and the sea-
board folks, left behind when her aunt
carried her up to London years before,
and friendlness was in her heart to-
ward them. Instead of receiving the
same, she had been met with envy and
jealousy and all uncharitableness. Part
ly it was her fault, partly theirs. They
only remembered her as the imp and
scapegoat of the village, who played
on the rocks all day long with bare
feet, and they resented her grown-up
fashionability. She could not help re-
alizing that she was better dressed,
knew more of the world, and was In
many ways hundred years ahead Of
Lindenthorpe.
1t was Sunday that the shock Of
shocks occurred. To begin with, sever
al minutes after service had begun Miss
Betty Mayne walked in-almost strolled
ln-as cool as cucumber and clad in
the most outrageously fine dress, and
stood In the entrance Gnstead Of mod
estly finding herself seat poking
away at the stones with a green par
asol until Mr.. Attenborough, who was
church warden-the youngest church
warden Lindenthorpe had ever had
rose In his Sunday best to. show her to
a place.
People were more disgusted than sur
prised when Miss Mayne. after fan
ming herself ostentatiously for some
time, rose and stalked out of church
by the front door. Such behavior was
to be expected from Mink. 1t was
what followed that left Lindenthorpe
resigned to anything short of an earth
quake. Miss Mayne wandered down
toward the beach in a pensive mood
and took a seat on a bit Of sandstone.
She was a pretty sight in blue and gold,
whatever Miss Griggs' opinion might
erty to differ from Sunday schoolmis-
tress on a question like this, and Sllas
Attenborough, as he walked from
church down to the sea and saw the
Mink ON her rock, differed in toto from
Miss Griggs. He felt a desire to rebuke
the Mink for her conduct In church
that morning, but was it wise to ven-
ture onto the rocks? He was in his
Sunday clothes and not very sure of
foot among slippery seaweeds. Never
theless, his sense Of duty being strong,
Mr.. Attenborough crossed the rubicon,
and at length reached the sandstone
rock. The Mink nodded to him. Il
saw you in church this morning." she
said.
II zee you," said Mr.. Attenborough,
gravely.
.It was very funny" she went on.
"rhe very first thing l noticed was a
chalk mark OH your coat from leaning
against the pillars-and l do believe
you've got it on STILL"
This was hardly the conversation Mr..
Attenborough had pictured to himself,
and he rubbed the chalk away before
replying.

Evolutfons of the Warships.

A whole feet in the days of Nelson
could be built and fitted out at little
more than the cost of single ironclad;
the coal expended on single cruise
would pay for the refitting of his whole
battle line, while the immense shells
the modern armor plate cost more than
his whole armament. But the modern
hne-of-battleship could neither be built,
armed nor fought without the use of
steam, and it's evolution may be said
to have commenced with the first appli-
cation Of the steam engine to naviga-
ti0n.

Quarries of Old Egypt.

On the way to Philae and the head Of
the cataract, a short distance south Of
Assouan, we come upon the ancient
quarries which supplied the granite for
the columns, statues and obelisks
throughout Egypt for many centuries.
An obelisk which we saw lies In Its ma
tive bed. 1t is ninety-five feet In
length, and three sides have been care
fully cut, but for some unknown reason
it was never separated entirely from
the parent rock The surface bears the
tool marks of the workmen. The
grooves in 1t show that 1t was to have
been reduced at the sides. 1t was sup
posed that the stone was split from its
bed by drilling holes in the rock and fill
ing them with wooden wedges, which
were afterward saturated with water,
the swelling wood furnishing the
power.
From illustrations in the temples II is
clear that these great monuments were
hoated down the river ON fiatboats and
RATS and then carried inland by art
fetal canals or dragged overland by
thousands of slaves. In one of the
.tombs at Beni-Hassan is picture illus
trating the process. The great stone 10
loaded upon a huge sled drawn by
multitude of workmen. One man 10
engaged in pouring water upon the
runners to prevent friction. Another
stands at the left of the statue and
beats time, that the men may work In
unison, while overseers, provided with
whips, urge the laborers to their task.
What king desired to extricate this
block from the quarry, why it was left
here. what it was to commemorate we
can never know. The riddle of the
sphinx is solved, but the riddle of the
obelisk in the quarry will no doubt re-
main with US forever.-Chautauquan.

WiLHELMINA'S WOOlN0.

How the Queen of Holland Met and
Won Her Fiance.
Some interesting particulars Of Queen
Wilhelmina's courtship and betrothal
are supplied by the Paris correspond
ent of the London News. Although the
Queen Of the Netherlands made the ac-
quaintance Of the Grand Ducal family
at Cannes, she did not, 1t appears, see
her betrothed till she went last year to
Berlin. She had heard a good deal
about him from his sister-in-law, the
Princess John, nee SAKE Weimar, and
daughter Of the late Princess Pauline
of the Netherlands, Duchess Of SAKE
Weimar. The moment the Queen and
Prince Henry saw each other they were
mutually impressed, and SO strongly
that the Queen would hear Of no other
suitor. She pleaded "a cold' az ex-
cuse for not attending dinner where
she was to pass in review a number of
aspirants. The Queen mother, seeing
this prudently curtailed the visit to
Berlin. Inquiries were in due course
set on foot about Prince Henry. All
the reports received about him, were
favorable, and the Queen arranged to
have opportunities to become better &C.
quainted with him. Instead Of coming
to the Exposition, she planned an ex-
cursdon to Suhwarzburg. Rooms were
taken at an hotel In q picturesque site
for the Queen, her mother and the Dow.
ager Duchess, who was asked to be
their guest.
Prince Henry was not disinclined to
fall in with the little plan. He obtained
furlough TO come to see his mother.
He got up excursions to the show
places in the principality, and accom-
panied the two queens In their walks.
rides and drives. She was supremely
happy In his company, and was sorry
when it was time for the party to break
up. As she was leaving, she said 10
the Prince: "What happy tour! I
never spent such a happy time in my
life, and I feed owe so much to you"
Correspondence followed, and one fine
morning the Prime Minister was sum-
moned by the Queen to Loo. She lost
no time In informing him that she was
engaged, and to whom. She said she
hoped the Council would give it's con-
sent to the marriage she had decided
upon. The Prince Of Mecklenburg be-
longed to the oldest house in Germany,
its International situation was high, II
played no part in European politics,
Prince Henry could play no part In
German politics, his career had been
highly honorable, and he was beloved
IN his own family circle. when you
see him." added the Queen, you will,
1 am sure, be of the opinion that could
not make better choice, whether for
myself or my people"

folks some of whom feigned to be
watching the sea. Miss Griggs hap
pened to be the nearest, and she shook
her head archly at the church warden.

shocked, Mr.. Attenborough."

Progress of Steam Navigation

The rise of steam navigation was
slow. Like most things new, 1t had
opposition. In the sixteenth century an
unsuccessful italian genius tried to ap-
ply steam to navigation, In 1875 Brit
ish patent was taken out for steam
boat. It was 1907 that witnessed Full
ton sailing up the Hudson in boat
driven by steam. In 1888 steamships
crossed the Atlantic.

The sunlight on the hill, dear,
The black storm ON the plain.
Be these as Fate shall will, dear
For sunlight or for rain.
This thought alone can thrill, dear:
I'VE shall not meet again"
Nay--not by any river
Or Towering field of grain
On heights Of high endeavor-
In wales of peace or pain;
One grief, dear heart, forever:
I'VE shall not meet again.
No world will pause to wonder:
Needless it drifts amain,
The blue or black skies under,
With all its grace and gain.
And we, dear heart, asunder,
Never to meet again!
