Another Romance spoiied.

"TelI a good story and stick to it."
is an old nsa1im that is illustrated in a
story that Is going the rounds along
the Rialto. A certain well known
actor fioated into his home one morn
ing about ? o'clock. The wife of his
bosom was waiting up for him. He
told her he had been out all the even
ing with one of their friends, Charlie
b.. and then related an interesting
fairy story OF how Charlie had taken
a crowd TO supper, how funny Char
lie had been all the evening, how
we'll Charlie looked in his new suit.
how he said this. that and the other.
After telling a Is minute story, to
which the gentle partner of his joys
and but of work periods listened with
respectful attention. but cynical mien,
he paused for breath. Then she, in a
confident now I've got you tone. said:
That's a lovely romance you've been
giving me, and 1 hate to spoil it. but
Charlie has been here nearly all the
evening waiting to see you about an
engagement. He left only about half
an hour ago"
The teller of the tale looked rather
dazed for moment as if he had been
struck. Then quickly gathering him
self together he assumed a bold front,
with hands in his pockets, head thrown
back and. in defiant innocence and en-
phasizing each word. said:

Green Not Re.tful to the Eyes.

1t seems as though cherished notions
were no sooner on an apparently firm
Foundation than some inconsiderate
iconoclastr comes along and throws
them down People have for many
years supposed that the color green
was restful to human eyes and have
been referred to the green grass and
green foliage that nature has been so
prodigal with for the benefit Of wearied
vision.
Now, according to n German profess
or of Berlin, nature wasn't thinking
of human eyes when she made her pro-
fuse verdant display and that her col
or scheme was carried out absolutely
regardless OF the visual needs OF hui
mainly. He says that green does not
protect the eye. and he denies that it
has any beneficial effects whatever.
He declares that green paper, green
shades, green glasses, green decora-
tons and green umbrellas are all a
mistake and that by increasing the
green light we are simply provoking
a nervous disturbance.
He says that each of the colors tires
a different set of nerves of vision, and
therefore looking at one particular col
or saves one set of nerves at the ex-
pense of another. The best method.
he says, is to dim all of the rays of
light by smoked or gray glasses, which
rest all of the optic nerves.-New York

How the Arti.t was CaiIed.

When Henry s. Watson. the illustrat-
or, landed at Naples, he did not know
much about European travel. He had
to make some sketches in the villages
about Naples, and his experiences have
filed him with wonder enough for a
lifetime. His deft pencil helped him a
bit. AT one little village inn he tried
to get it through the landlords head
that he was to be called early in the
morning. He couldn't make himself
understood. At last he drew picture
of himself lying in bed. the sun peep
ing through the window, the clock at
the hour of and the chambermaid
knocking at the door. Then it was
quite plain, and they woke him on the
tick.-Saturday Evening Post.

STEEL BUILDINGS FOR LONDON
American Methods May Be Adopted i,
Enalish Metropolis.

London. July 26.--Americans are plan,
ming the Introduction Of Chicago stee
construction buildings into London. H
s. Black. president of the firm of George
A. Fuller & Co., Chicago, has arrived
here with view to interesting promi,
nent British investors. Including Lord
Reveistoke. partner in the Bank OF
England and n member of the we'll
known banking firm of Barring Brothers
in project for erecting few such
buildings in various locations thruout
the metropolis by way of experiment.
Mr.. Black said to correspondent: 81
believe that If Englistmen were shown
specimens Of American office buildings
with their luxurious equipment Of ee
yatOrs and their modern sanitary appli.
ances they would readily perceive the
benefits that would accrue TO the city
by the adoption of steel construction.
Personally do not favor skyscrapers
that destroy the symmetry Of cities The
height of such buildings should be limit
ed to ten or twelve stories
The ancient English law safe-guarG-
ing light has hitherto been the greatest
obstacle to the erection Of high build
1ngs in London. The owners of adjoin-
ing properties. however. whose light
might be obstructed, fail to perceive
that the value of their own property
would be greatly enhanced by the local
Improvement. and also by the practical
illustration of their opportunity to build
in similar manner and thus obtain
enormously increased rentals.
The British are apt to overlook the
immense loss that results from this un-
necessary time consumed by old-time
building methods. which often take ten
years, where gteel construction would
take ten months, and would thus give
the owner vastly quicker income re-
turns. l am convinced that there is a
great opportunity for American enter
prise In London on these lines"

Americans Complain of Treatment q
tho Authorities in Mexico.

tFOdSmenS
the Authorities in Mexico.
Kansas City. Mo. July 26. One of the
most remarkable stories of the MIS-
treatment of Americans by the Mexican
authorities Is brought by Harry Adams
a railroad man. who was caught in a
wreck in Mexico. and, altho his leg was
cut off. he was seized by the officers and
put into prison before medical treat
ment was given him.
Adams went to Mexico last March and
secured position on the railroad run
ming between San Luis Potosi and Car
denas. After he had been on the road
about three months he was ordered to
take special thru, and when on a
steep grade the train got beyond control
1t was terrible ride, and when the
train had almost reached the bottom of
the grade 1t left the track. Adams had
his left leg caught under the wreck and
two MeXlcans were killed. He. as the
engineer of the train. was arrested at
once under the Mexican law, which
which holds innocent people responsible
for any and all accidents. Before a
physician was summoned Adams was
carried to miserable prison, where he
lay all night without anyone rendering
him aid. beyond putting his mangled leg
in rude splints. In the morning ply
stefan came and sawed the mangled
part of the leg Off but as it was done
improperly another operation Will have
to be performed here.
Adams appealed in vain. he says, to
the American authorities, but they did
not render him the least help. He was
finally smuggled out of the country by
railroad men. He says there are scores
of American railroad men in Mexican
prisons, many of them having been
for seven and eight years. and who will
probably remain there the balance OF
their lives. They appeal in vain for
help from the American authorities.

p statement showing the number of IL

number of casualties to revenue agents
during the last ten years. 1t shows that
nine officers have been killed and twenty
wounded during the period named while
doing their duty. In that time 1867
stills were seized and 6.567 persons We're
arrested. During the fiscal year 1900.
l.s21 stills We're destroyed. l34 were re-
moved. 5S5 persons We're arrested and
there was but one casualty. Georgia

of the attendants. Another patient at
tackled an attendant in the asylum be-
cause the latter made an attempt to
prevent him from rushing out
In the meantime the flames increased
and the asylum for a time was threat
ened. The fire department from the viii
lage was called. but all efforts to save
the burning buildings proved fruitless.
and the efforts of the firemen were
turned toward preventing the patients
harming themselves.
One patient, who was brought to the
asylum from Mendoza. disappeared dur
ing the progress of the fire. IL was
feared he had entered the building and
burned to death, but later he was found
hiding in a shed on the farm and re-
fused to return to the asylum.
The fire burned several hours. during
which all attention was turned 10 the
patients. and it was largely due TO this
that the buildings We're destroyed
