The Heart Of a Woman.
BY GARRARp HARRIS.

Copyright. 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
They sat before smouldering fire In
the little cabin. the two old people.
upon whom the burden of years rest
ed with no caressing weight On every
line Of their features, unceasing toll.
barren hardship and the lot of sordid
poverty were written indelibly.
Not word was spoken. Once in
a while a tear welled from the old
woman's eyes. and rolled silently
down the withered cheek. wrinklcd
and furrowed with time and sorrow.
The old man said nothing. but stared
at the embers with a dazed, hopeless
expression.
1t was sad affair. the killing Of
Joe Wilson by his brother Jim. Joe
was by far the best one of the two
young men-a quiet fellow, who had
stood by the old folks manfully. and
done his full share towards making
the evening Of their lives a little more
comfortable than It otherwise would
have been. He was sober. steady. and
well liked by every one. Especially
was he fond Of his mother-he was
always showing 1t by little thoughtful
acts. To her. he was all there was In
life. she had few dreams Of happiness
beyond him.
On the contrary. Jim was about the
most triHing limb OF Satan In the en-
tire settlement. He was drunk half
the time, and manifested deep and
steady aversion to the strenuous life
His associates and intimates were of
the lowest. and altogether. he was
pretty tough customer. He cared
nothing for his parents. or God. or
man. and upon several occasions had
struck his mother. while his tottering
old father was thoroughly cowed by
him. Strange to say. OF the two boys.
Jim was the fathers favorite.
Hell get over all this after
while. mother; it's jest the young
blood In him. He don't mean no harm
by it-why. ! used ter be mighty nigh
as wild as JIM"
Yes. but know you never struck
your pore old mother. nor yer pa
now did your"
mo. must say never done that
But Jim were drinkin' some. or he'd
n never done It. neither"
Tho woman sighed. Jim was al
ways defended. while the least short
coming on the part OF Joe had the
effect Of bringing his father and Jim
down on him without mercy. And
now. Joe was dead by his brothers
hand. and the brother was In Jail
charged with his murder. The quavcr-
ing voice OF the old man interrupted
her thoughts OF the dead boy.

LITTLE. BUT MIGHTY.
Fsats of Strength of tn. Pirate Of the
Insect World.

RShtb ot otreHHtu or tue Ihbto OF tno
Insect World.
The flea possesses all the piratical
instincts-thirst for blood, rapacity,
cruelty. He is, further. as ingenious
In devsing tortures as he Ia untiring
in the torment Of his victims. The
flea is built upon the lines that make
him forever hungry. But his contin-
uous performance appetite Is far from
being the Oldest thing about him. Pro-
pertioEately to size he is the Samson
of the universe. If the elephant had
the same relative strength he could
come near to overseeing a steel
framed skyscraper. A flea, wingless,
with body out of all proportion to
his head, and all over less than the
sixteenth of an inch in length, will
leap upon plane surface more than
a yard. This, too, when he has been
hatched In hair, or straw, or sand, and
never known what 1t was to have a
full meal. More marvellous still. he
will spring perpendicularly upward
from one to two feet. Fancy man
or boy standing fiatfooted and all of
a sudden leaping over church spire.
Wonderful things have been done with
fleas They have been put into gold
collars and set to drag about lengths
Of gold chain at least 10 times their
own weight. Further, an ingenious
goldsmith back in the leisurely seven
teenth century made coach and four
in ivory and gold, with coachman on
the box. position and outriders, yet all
so tidy It was dragged by pair Of
fleas working in gold collars. They
worked under n bell glass and were
exhibited in London and Paris. To
fight like cats and dogs Is the synonym
of continuing strife. but even cats and
dogs do not fight SO bitterly as cat fieas
and dog feas. Oddly enough, the cat
fieas are bigger than the dog fleas, so
should be always victors. But here as
elsewhere condition tells. II the cat
fieas are lazy and luxurious-fat they
can never grow-the small, lean, keen
beaked dog feas kill them out. A
fea's beak is sharp and hard, some
thing like birds, only more pointed.
A flea bite is not poisonous. save and
except in rare cases where flea has
previously been biting infected tissue.
Certain French scientists have shown
that both heas and bedbugs could thus
carry tubercular infection. Further,
rats and rat fleas are greatly dreaded

NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS.
Aluminium Has Not Proved So Useful

Aluminium Has Not Proved So Useful
n, Wa. Once Predicted.
A dozen years or so ago, when
aluminium was first placed In the mar
ket 1t was scarce and dear. 1t was
predicted that 1t would ultimately be
used for great variety OF purposes.
These expectations unfortunately have
not been realized. AS time went on 1t
was discovered that. contrary to what
was first believed. 1t was readily acted
upon by solutions OF many salts. by
acids. including vinegar. and especially
by alkalies, though II excelled copper
In the resistance which 1t offered to
nitric acid. Besides. aluminium for
kitchen utensils and the like has the
great objection that II blackens the
hands like lead. To obviate this draw
back 1t is not frequently coated with
layer OF silver. but this In itself is
no easy matter. for aluminium Is so
porous that II retains water and I'm
purities obstinately. with the result
that bubbles are formed In the electro
u'ponits VI thnt ehia p''ts va "a th'
polishing process. The chief remedy
is to thoroughly cleanse the aluminium
and to give II preliminary coating
with another metal. preferably copper.
before silyering. Several patents have
recently been taken out for processes
on these lines. Another great draw
back to the general use OF aluminium
Is that It has hitherto been very Diff
fcult to unite two separate pieces OF
the metal. This objection. however.
will probably be met by the welding
process OF Heraeus. which has recently
been protected In several countries. In
this the welding ia so complete that
the juncture is practically invisible
and the aluminium can be rolled out
TO thin sheet without separating into
Its component parts.

CHICAGO, July 26.--Botanists Of the
University Of Chicago will start August

fora and forestry Of the west In a
private car equipped with every facil.
ity for experiment and work they will
make their pause in the pineries Of

The tour has been arranged so that
indefinite stops can be made at more

fluences upon rare plants and
forest growths. Two weeks will be
passed at Flatheads Lake. Thence the

Of Ventura and San Diego Counties on
the coast, the phenomenal luxuriance Of
the watered oases Of the deserts Of
