The Germans are nov conquering
Paris more effectually than they did
in days of Bismarck, William and Won
Moltke. The Germans are gradually
edging in everywhere in the French
capital. They are in finance, banking,
exploitation, commercial houses, pro-
fessional houses. In their tenacious
way they are gradually ousting
Frenchmen from many of the best in
vestments and employments right in
the center of France.

In Hawaii enormous quantities of
ducks are raised by the Chinese upon
the edges of the ocean. Twice a day,
within restricted areas, they are per-
mitted to eat the young fish which
swim in the inclosed loves. Fish are
reported to be growing scarcer every
year, and by some this diminution is
attributed to the wholesale destruction
of the young fry by the Chinese.

Photography without a Dark Room.
The continued experiments of Prof.
F. E. Nipher Of st. Louis with "posi-
tive photography" have Produced some
very interesting results. He says that
the plates may berseparately wrapped
in black paper at might, or in a dark
room, and all the remaining work can
be done In. the, light A plate is taken
from its wrapper in the light and
placed in the slide holder and an ex-
posure-a long one-is made, After exr
pesure the plate Is taken out in the
light again. and placed in the develop
ing bath, and the picture is, developed,
AND may be fixed, in the light. The re-
suit Is a positive. Fine pictures are
thus obtained. While it is desirable to
shield the plate from the light as much
as possible during the changes, yet,
Professor Nlpher says, all Of the OPP
erations may be carried on without
any darkroom c~onYeniences that may
not be secured even in the open fields.

When | got a most excruciating jar
Not the ordinary kind
To which gripmen are inclined,
But jolt that shocked me more than
that by far.
From adown the aisle a fascinating girl
Set my senses in an amatOry whirl,
When she turned pretty smile
Toward my corner. and the while
Showed the tips of teeth that glistened
as the pearl.
I responded with a twinkle Of my eye
CTS little trick studied. by the by,
And although passed my street,
Still 1 kept my corner seat,
For the hope within my heart was run
ming high.
Then it was got the dolorihc jar;
Just behind me, on the platform Of the

Stood the man at whom, twas plain,
She was smiling through the pane,
And-I'd ridden half a mile or more too
far.

RAFTERs OF LIVING GREEN.

Description In "Eben Holden" of a
Day in the Cornfield.
We climbed the wall as he ate, and
buried ourselves in the deep corn. The
fragrant, silky tassels brushed my face
and the corn Kissed at our intrusion,
crossing its green sabers In our path.
Far in the field my companion heaped
a little of the soft earth for a pillow,
spread the oilclOth between rows, and
as we lay down drew the big shawl
over us. Uncle Eb was tired after the
toll of that night and went asleep al
most as soon as he was down. Before
| dropped off Fred came and licked my
face and stepped over me, his tail
wagging for leave, and curled upon the
shawl at my feet. ] could see no sky in
that gloomy green aisle of corn. This
going to bed in the morning seemed
foolish business to me that day and L
lay a long time looking up at the rus
Ting canopy overhead l remember list
ening to the waves that came whisper
ing out of the further field, nearer and
nearer, until they swept over us with
a roaring splash of leaves, like that OF
water flooding among rocks, as l have
heard it often. A twinge of hOmesick-
ness came to me and the snoring Of
Uncle Eb gave me no comfort. l re-
member covering my head and crying
softly as l thought of those who had
gone away and whom l was to meet
in far country, called heaven, whittier
we were going. l forgot my sorrow
finally in sleep. When l awOke it had
grown dusk under the corn. l felt for
Uncle Eb and he was gone. Then 1
called to him.
Hush, boyl lie lOww he whispered,
bending over me, a sharp look in his
eye. "'Fraid they're after US"
He sat kneeling beside me, holding
Fred by the collar and listening. could
| hear voices, the rustic of the corn and
the tramp of feet near by. 1t was thun-
dering in the distance-tbat heavy,
shaking thunder that seems to take
hold Of the earth, and there were
sounds in the corn like the drawing Of
sabers and the rush Of many feet. The
noisy thunder clouds came nearer, and
] the NUlNtc luAA ll4uE W. tiEAADAE were
no longer heard. Uncle Eb began to
fasten the oil blanket to the stalks Of
corn for a shelter. The rain causR roar
ing over us. The sound of it was like
that of a host of cavalry coming as a
gallop. We lay bracing the stalks, the
blanket tied above US, and were quite
dry for a time. The rain ratified in the
sounding sheaves and then came food
ing down the steep cutters. Above us
beam and rafter creaked, swaying and
showing glimpses Of the dark sky. The
rain passed-we could hear the last
battalion leaving the feld-and then
the tumult ended as suddenly as it
began. The corn trembled a few mo
ments and hushed to a faint whisper.
Then we could hear only the drip of
raindrops leaking through the green
roof 1t was dark under the corn.

And so you see she didn't have as
good a time as she might exactly. But
she did have love affair"
oh" said l.
Yes" said Ishbel. "He was a sort of
distant connection of hers, a lawyer,
what they call over there a solicitor,
you know. He-she said he was very
much in love-and so was She"
"COnfound''-I began.
Il beg your pardon said Ishbel.
Il meant" l said, sternly, lit is very
wrong of deterimentals to make love to
girls
1t is" agreed Ishbel. But he was
very-oh, very honora BILE. Things had
gone. well. they had gone rather far,
you know, but the week before she
sailed when he proposed-at least he
didn't exactly propose, but he told her
he had only 300 a year, and that, of
course, it was out of the question in
England to marry on that, and he
couldn't bear the idea of hampering her
with a long engagement and-what did
/ you sayr'
"Oh, nothing"
Are you sure? You put me out.
Well, he said she mustn't be engaged TO
! him, but he would hold himself engaged
] to her, and some day when the senior
partner dropped off, do WISH" petu-
lantly, you wouldn't mutter like that"
l grOveled.
Where was IT' demanded Ishbel.
''Oh, well, then they said good-by, you
know, and she was perfectly miserable
If you look so horribly cross l shall
send you home-oh, dreadfully miser-
able. She felt that she didn't care a
straw about other men. and there were
she said there were some very nice
men in the steamer coming home, too.
Balls and parties had no attraction for
her, and fancy, for ever so long she
hardly took any interest in her froc5s.
Oh, it was hOrrid She only lived for
his letters-and somehow they-well,
they were not exactly satisfactory.
She supposed it was because he was so
very honorable, and they were not real
ly engaged, you know. But one day
she thought it all over and decided that
sort Of thing would have to come to an
end she knew she would never be
happy for a moment till he came out,
as she knew he would some day, to
claim her. but she made up her mind
to stop thinking about him as much as
possible and try to seem happy, no mat
ter how perfectly miserable she was in
reality. The idea was. you see-I think
she got it out Of a pOem-to lock his
image up in her heart"
Il see" said l. And how did il
work.
1T worked very WELL" said Ishbel,
refectively. "She knew she was
wreached, but she didn't allow herself
to thing about it,"
And what happened?" l asked brisk
ly.

"Oh, he didY
