to have no ghost OF show;
had bunch OF lusty kings that strutted

And 'bullied my opponents men, who
dared not venture out

Who staid right in his station ever since
the game began.
He watched my crowned heads marching
by with banner and with song
And seemed to be discouraged over stand

And not another moment did that little
fellow stay,
He bounded Der the board and took
three kings in one fell swoop,
Then landed in my king-row with a wild,

She liked to read about man
Who fought and thought It fun
To go and kill grizzly bear
And eat him UNDERGONE
She loved the cavalier whose plume
Was foremost in the fight,
Who firted with the pretty girls
And stayed out late at night.
But when it came to real life
She tossed her books aside.

She turned with wifely pride.

Her husband wears a monocie

Where Wax Is Mined,

In several parts of the world resin
Gus substance called ozocerite and bear
ing considerable resemblance to bees
wax is found, usually In connection
with rock salt and coal. There are de-
posits in Austria, Russia, Roumania,
Egypt, Algeria, Canada and Mexico,
but ozocerite has, so far, not been dis
covered in sufficient quantities to pay
for mining anywhere except in the dis
trict of Roryslav, in Austrian Galicia,
and on an island ON the west coast of
the Caspian Sea.
In mining this mineral wax shafts
are sunk until bed or NEST" of ozo-
cerite Is struck. Then connecting gal
leries are driven. There Is considerable
danger and many lives have been lost
in consequence Of the sudden forcing
up of the soft wax into the shafts by
the enormous pressure to which it is
subjected. 1t is used largely for man
ufacturing ceresin, says the Brooklyn
Citizen, which is employed, together
with beeswax, for making wax candles,
as well as in the manufacture Of phono-
graphic cylinders, and for many similar
purposes.

that rested an instant on the window g

smile, it was so beautiful, and the
voice, bell-like and tender, as the lady
raised the sash, and, beaming like the
morning, said:
"Oh, Maurice, Maurice, that is you,
isn't it?''
EuIalie had not turned her eyes to
him before Swinton was down, flushed,
eager and trembling. He held out the
end of his bride to Eulalie and she
took it mechanically, her lips apart,
wondering as she always wondered.
The angelic face had vanished from
the window, and Maurice had gone
into the car, but Eulalie sat there in
the furnace breath Of the sun and held
his pony. She did not hear the loco
! motive bell nor the voice from the
platform shouting 'all aboard" She
was yet dreaming. But the windows
slipped silkily past her, and presently
she was staring after the rushing cars,
yet wondering if Maurice would tell
her some stories about this fairy, the
first she had ever seen from that Won
derland of his. But though she wait
ed for an hour he did not come back.
She asked the station master if Pro-
fessor Swinton had left the train. No
body had seen him since he and she
had been sitting on their ponies to-
gether.

the agent. eff he gets off there he'll

Lives in a Fairy House.

The water spider runs about on the
leaves of aquatic plants and catches the
insects that live among them; but the
nest In which this spider lives is silk
bag, filled with air, and it is anchored
beneath the water. Its opening points
directly downward. SO that no air can
escape when the spider enters it
After the nest has been made large
enough, the spider proceeds to fill it
with air In the most remarkable way.
She carries it in, just as human people
might carry coal or wood or water into
their houses. Going nearly to the sur
face, she puts the end Of her body out
of the water for an instant, then jerks
it quickly under with a bubble at
tached, crosses her hind legs over it,
and descends to the nest, into which
she then allows the bubble to escape.
This is repeated until the nest is filed
with air.
The spider has chosen this singular
abode to escape destruction by water
fowl. The leaves Of most aquatic
plants lie fiat upon the water, and offer
only few places where the spider could
hide from enemies.
The thought Of a house of silk, filed
with air, says the New York Tribune,
and anchored In crystalline, sparkling
liquid, would do for fairyland story,
but here it is in real life.

During last year, according to re-
port recently issued by the Alpine Club,
119 persons lost their lives while climb
ing the Alps-more than double the
number for the previous year. Most Of
the accidents occurred In the neigh
borhood Of Chamounix and were due to
the foolhardiness and inexperience of
tourists. The number Of accidents suf-
fered by experienced climbers was COM
paratively small.
Switzerland and the Tyrol are becom-
ing the holiday ground for more and
more people every year, and it may be
expected the lives lost will be in the
same proportion. The increased num-
Der Of accidents is therefore exactly

The Piano Typewriter,

After six years of continuous, patient
and Industrious labor, Paul J. Clenanth,
of Buffalo, has invented what he calls
the piano typewriter, and it is said to be
one of the inventions of the age.
The piano typewriter is an invention
which will prove decidedly useful to
any person who plays the piano, and es-
pecially to composers or bandmasters.
If composer has desire to write a
new piece Of music all that is necessary
for him to do is to attach the new in
vention to his or her piano and play
what he thinks will make good music.
When he finishes. the notes that he has
played will be printed on a sheet of pa
per and will be ready for publication.
If he hold the note for a quarter or half
the machine will print quarter note;
If half note Is wanted he will hold the
cord for two beats and half note will
be printed.

Justice Gray came Of family long
noted In the legal profession In Massa-

enty-four years ago. He graduated
from Harvard College in the class of
1S46, and from the law school In 1049.
He was shortly admitted to the bar
and rose rapidly in his profession. In
1854 he was appointed reporter Of de-
cisions of the Supreme Court Of Massa-
chusetts, and served till 1861. Three
years later he was chosen associate JUS
tice of the same court and chief JUS
tice in 1873. Here he gained an en-
viable reputation as jurist. He was
named as associate Justice Of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States Dec.
10, 1881. by President Arthur.
Justice Gray was great all-around
lawyer. He was a recognized authority
in admiralty cases. During recent

PROGRESS of Cremation.

That veteran advocate Of cremation,
Sir Henry Thompson, has published in
the Lancet statistical account of the
progress of this movement which
should interest those who regard Gre
nation as the only satisfactory mode
of disposing decently Of the dead, hav-
ing regard to the safety Of the living.
At Woking 2,O97 cremations have ta-
ken place, beginning with 8 in the
year 1885 and ending in 1901 with 273.
In 1901 there were, besides 95 at Man
chester, 40 at Liverpool, IS at Glas-
Cow, II at Hull and 2 at Darlington.
Leicester will have a crematorium in
a few months, and the institution in
course of erection in the north Of Lon
don will be ready before the close Of
1902. The United States has 26 Gre
matories, of which "a are in use. At
Fresh Pond, N. Y. 654 bodies were
cremated in 1901, 666 at San Francis

what is worse, most of them are so con.
fident of their own ability that they
will not take the precaution to employ
a competent guide.
Nothing attests the nerve and the
courage and endurance of a man as
does mountain climbing, and it Is quite
as much of a science as any other form
Of athletic sport. Experienced men
can tell at glance the safest and the
most accessible paths and where and
between what hours there will be the
least risk Of falling stones. Swiss
guides who have been taken to the
Andes and to the Himalayas and even
to our own American mountains have
never failed to accomplish ascents
which men without experience have
considered impossible. 1t is simply a
matter of ability acquired by long and
patient study, yet any ordinary tourist
imagines that because one man can ac-
complish the feat another may do the
same even If he has never seen a

dents occur upon Mont Blanc. because
that is the easiest to reach and most
fashionable of all the Swiss mountains,

LAND OF MAkE-BELlEvE.

It Is well to wander sometimes In the
land of Make-Believe,
Through its ever-smiling gardens, where
the heart may cease to grieve,
Where the beds are gay with roses and
the paths are paved with gold,
And our hopes, like soaring songsters,
their mercurial wings unfold.
Let us all be little children for while
and make our way
Through the sweet mad sunny meadow
land of Make-Believe to-day.
There's a Queen within an arbor, where
she rules in high renown,
With a lily for a scepter and rose
wreath for a crown,
And her laws are love and laughter, for
they know not sorrow there
Never hate or pain or money enters In
her kingdom fair.
SO we sing the songs the children sing
and play the games they play
AS We wander in the golden land of
Make-Believe to-day.
