hands made presentable, you simple
ton. Of course, that's exactly what 1
came for.
Hecuba was as dignffied in welding
the knife and the polisher as when she
handled the Bible or the opera glass.
So | regain my self-possession and
gently fish for Hecuba's story.
Briefly, her mother had died sudden
ly four weeks ago. She had been
widow several years, and always
earned a good income, but never ac-
cumulated any money. She had given
her daughter an education, and now
Hecuba had taken her mothers place
in order to do the like for her younger
brother. The money was wanted at
once, and this was the quickest way to
earn it.
THAT is the boys picture on the op-
posite wall?"
"Yes."
And the sword that hangs over it
that looks historic"
at was our great-grandfather He
was an officer in the revolution-in a
Connecticut regiment"
Let me think the situation all over
as | walk away. First, the romance of
it. l remember cutting from a news
paper last year and placing in my
scrapbook an exquisite little poem
signed Hester Nidivear. One of the
best French poets was a barber, and
one of our own was dentist; after
the beard and the teeth, why should
not the nails have their turn at
poetics? Second, the sense of it, NV
grear-grandfather also took part in
the revolution, but he wore no sword:
he was only private. Better a pri-
vate under Washington than colonel
under CORVALLIS, have always boast
ed. And after the war he pared the
hoofs of horses before mailing on the
shoes. Rule of three: As the human
hand is to the horses hoof so is-um,
/ fear | rank a little below her. Where
am |? / do not know where | am,
Oh, Hecuba!
Now, old chum, perhaps you can
guess why have not married. But it
Is not certain that never shall.

The Queens Apology,

One OF the great sources of the
queens power was the extreme atten-
ton she gave to detail This extended
to everything which came under her
personal notice. The story of her

piece of furniture, while making a
tour of Windsor castle, and under
meath it also the name of the house.
maid who was responsible for the
neglect, l have never heard con-
firmed, but many little stories attest
her far-seeing supervision in every
thing. She never considered the small
est courtesy beneath her dignity.
Madame M, lady-in-waiting to the
duchess of Connaught, is responsible
for this little anecdote illustrating
this. At the time of the christening OF
little Prince Edward, the eldest son OF
the duke of York, through some mis-
take Madame Ms invitation was
forgotten. She did not go to the GER
emony, but seeing the queen soon
after, her majesty asked why she had
not been present, inquired into all the
particulars, and made many excuses.
just then the duchess came up. TITS

vitation," said her majesty, "but
there's no need for you to say any
thing. I've apologized. "-Harper's

SIZE OF RAIN DROPS.
Exact Dimensions Ascertained by
Meteorological of
Paris

The Paris Meteorologist Faideau has
undertaken the laborious task of
measuring the dimensions of rain
drops, says the New York World.
He finds that the largest are about
one-siXth of an inch, the smallest one
five-hundredth of an inch, in dame
ter.
They are larger in summer than in
winter, and larger in hot than in cold
climates. At the moment of con-
densation of the water vapor to the
liquid state great numbers of ex-
tremely small drops are formed in
close proximity. As they fall they
come together, and coalesce in con-
sequence of mutual attraction, and so
what we call rain drops are formed.
The size of the drop when it
reaches the earth depends on the
height from which it has fallen.
Now, in summer the lower strata of
air are warmer than in winter, and
therefore clouds are formed at a
greater height where conditions are
favorable for rapid condensation. The
drops falling from these high summer
clouds have more time to grow, and
therefore become larger than the
winter drops.
In winter, as is well known, clouds
often exist very near the ground.
The velocity with which rain drops
fall depends according to Faideau,
both on their size and on the wind,
which makes them fall obliquely.
Other things being equal, drop of
medium size, say one-fftieth of an
inch in diameter, may strike the
ground with velocity of some 10
feet a second, while a very large drop,
measuring one-siXth of an inch, may
attain speed of IS feet second.

TO CHEAT UNCLE SAM.
Amusing Attempts of Ingenious
Smugglers to Avoid Paying
Custom House Charges.

The new rule excluding the friends
of passengers from those parts of
steamship piers which are required
for the examination of baggage is
defended by the custom house in
spectors as lessening the opportunity
for smuggling, and in connection
with this many good stories are told
of ingenious attempts to rob Uncle
Sam of his duties, says the New York
Mail and Express.
Among others the case is cited of
Albert f. Emanuel, who. on August
1 of last year, was met at the North
German Lloyd pier by woman rep
resenting herself to be his wife.
While his baggage was being exam
ined Inspector Timothy Donohue saw
him put bracelet on the woman's
wrist. Donohue demonstrated and
the two were detained. 1t was a hot
day, and Emanuel had his handker-
chief in his hand. He said to the
woman: you're perspiring. Here,
wipe your facet" at the same time
handing her his handkerchief. If the
couple had not been under surveil-
lance it is probable that the action
would have excited no suspicion, as it
was done quite naturally. Donohue,
however, was watching them. and he
reached out and snatched the hand
kerchief, remarking: I'm rather
warm myself" Pinned to a corner of
the handkerchief was a diamond
brooch valued at about $1,000. The
man was arrested, tried and convict
ed. He had declared that he had
brought in only lot of stationery,
on which he paid $47.7O duty.
Down at the barge office they tell
of a smuggler who was met upon his
| arrival last summer by crowd of 10
relatives, who formed a solid wall
around him and his baggage. While
the inspectors were busy elsewhere
he passed around the circle of his
kindred everything of value which
the trunks contained. They hid the
laces under their coats and put on
the jewelry.
1t was not many months ago that a
wealthy DtJIOIb ClOIHlnR merchant,
while waiting for his. baggage to be
examined, was detected passing a val
liable diamond ring to a woman who
had met him at the pier. 1t was the
only thing he was trying to smuggle,
and he had purchased it for the wom-
an, but it was a fragrant attempt to
defraud the government, and the
merchant had to pay fine, besides
losing the ring.
A few years ago a passenger was
met most effusively by his brother-in-
law, who clasped him in his arms and
kissed him. After greetings had been
| exchanged and inquiries made regard
ing the health of the various MEM
bers of the family, the brother-in-law
started to leave the pier. This ex-
cited the suspicion of an inspector,
who asked in surprise why he must
60 so soon.
81 have another engagement" said
the man, nervously. Il cannot wait
for the trunks to be examined"
He was compelled to wait. A
search of his pockets brought to
light pair of diamond earrings val
ued at $3.50
