wwe wandered about the big room or
sat still to enjoy the effect. I noticed
that some of the girls couldn't resist
picking up the ring. They were all en-
vious of it, and if I'm not mistaken
Humphreys stood for quite a while
near tie piano. At any rate it was
chance to whisper to Corinne Forgeron.
That's what makes me think Hum
phreys must have been by the piano.
"When Edith got through playing
and looked for her ring it was gone!
She laughed at first and called on us
to quit joking but when we had
lighted all the lights and crawled all
over the floor and lifted everything
movable, poor Edith began to pout,
and, well, you can imagine how we felt.
No servant had entered the room. The
top Of the piano was closed, it was an
upright one, and we moved the instru

other. The girls looked mystifled and
scared. Only Humphreys kept up his
front. Nobody wanted to go first and
everybody knew it was time to go. 1,
for one, was convinced that there was
a thief in the company, and naturally
l suspected it was Ediths fiance, whom
l hated cordially. Finally, in burst
of long suppressed anger, I suggested
that the men should retire to the parlor
and search one another. That made
the girls angry, and Edith began to
cry. At last we all retired, feeling like
lot Of whipped ours, all but Hum
phreys. He had the impudence to keep
| reassuring us, said that no doubt the
ring would turn up and so forth, till
1 felt like choking him. Then he said
something to poor Edith about her
'carelessness,' and, upon my word, if
Fannie Ziegler wasn't hanging to my
arm I'd have smashed him one then
and there.
"But we all went home then, and, to
tell the truth, 1 thought perhaps Hum
phreys was sufficiently punished when
1 heard about week later that he and
Edith had quarreled and that the
match was broken off. Oh, yes. /

Keeping Time by His Belt.

"Tve heard of many strange time
pieces" said n buyer for New York
ice company, "but l ran across some
thing entirely new in that line last
week. l went to lake back of New.
burg to estimate the ice crop. Among
the men working there was a heavy set
fellow, who was dressed in blanket
clothes. He kept his trousers in place
with narrow belt, and several times
in the course of the morning l noticed
him tighten 1t hole at time.
what time Is it?" l asked him, for
my watch was not running.
"He glanced at his belt and answered
promptly, 11.30.'
Seeing that he had no watch asked
him how he knew, and he explained
his system of telling time by his belt.
After breakfast, which was eaten at G
o'clock, the belt was set at the last
hole. Every hour during the morning
he was forced to take 1t in hole. He
knew it was thirty minutes after IL be.
cause he had taken in five holes and
the belt was just beginning to slacken.
After dinner he would let it out again
to the last hole, and it would mark off
the hours during the afternoon. He
said it was as trustworthy as the best
watch he had ever owned, and several
tests proved that he was right."-New

running between London and Bristol,
was taken off the road. The decay
of coaching had set in about four
years earlier, and one by one the
coaches had given place to the rail
way, after enjoying palmy days last
ing about 20 years. 1t was on the
Bristol road that the first mail coach
was driven, the institution being due
to the enterprise of Mr., Palmer, M,

London on August 8, 1854, at s a. M,
and reached Bristol at II O'Clock in
the night, the coaches previously
driven taking from Monday to We'd
nesday to reach Bath. Other routes
were opened in the following year,
and the regulation pace of six miles
an hour gradually increased to ten

PRODUCE A RACE OF GIANTS.
Two Million Dollars to Be Spent In
Scheme to Reeenerate the French.

An attempt to breed race of hui
man giants, one of the most remarka-
Bile scientific experiments undertaken
In modern times, is to be begun at
Rouen, the ancient capital of Norman
dy. 1t seems that Count de Saint
Ouen-a descendant of William the
Conqueror-who endowed the under
taking to the extent of S2,000,000 con.
fldently expected at the time of his
death that the fortune which he be-
queathed would intimately be the
means of regenerating the French peo-
pie, but though scientists admit that 1t
may be possible to breed a race Of
giants they regard the scheme on the
whole as anything but wise one. The
Counts scheme Is practically one Of
selective propagation. His money is
left to encourage giants and giantesses
to marry. One per cent will be given
away each year. One couple selected
every twelvemonth will receive the
comfortable sum of $4,000 as a nest
egg with which to begin housekeeping
and to support the little giants and
giantesses whom the stock may hap.
pen to drop down the chimney. The
Count de Saint Ouen was not the first
to conceive such an idea. Frederick
William the first King of Prussia, and
father of Frederick the Great, attempt.
ed it nearly 200 years ago. He col
lected 2,400 giants, whom he enlisted
in a regiment known as the "Potsdam
Guard" Many giants were kidnapped
for this regiment. Frederick COM
manded his guardsmen to marry tall
women. and it was his hope to propa,
gate an army composed of giants.
None of the men in the front rank of
his Potsdam Guards was under seven
feet in height. The scheme for cul
tivatng giants, however, was aban-
doned before any important results
were observed. Yet it is said that alb.
normally tall men in the vicinity of
Potsdam to-day claim direct descent
from Frederick's famous giant regi.
ment. 1t is, of course, recognized
that great stature can be inherited.
The best evidence that such charac.
terstic can be developed by propaga.
tion may be found in the wrestlers of
Japan. They are much taller and
very much heavier than the Japanese
as a race, having for centuries been
bred by selection

better headway with the creole god
dess than any of us. 1 was dying to
'whelm my woe'-thats in a poem-1
was dead anxious to get next to her,
but so help me, that Internal puppy
had way with him that distanced us
all, and began to wonder what Edith
thought of the sudden Irritation that
made all US men so weary. Maybe the
girls didn't notice it. or maybe they
didn't let on, for they all saw that Co
rinne was winner from Winnerville.
''The last thing I remember at the
theatre was Humphreys showing Co
rhine the beautiful ring that he had
given to Edith as a guerdon Of their
troth. 1t was peach, and no mistake.
I think they called 1t marquise, at
any rate it's setting was an oblong opal,
trimmed with diamonds, but the pecu-
liarity Of 1t, and 1 think its chief
beauty, was the green glory Of the two
emeralds set at the far ends of the OBJ
long. Corinne looked at it and then at
Humphreys in that awful way these
women with velvet eyes have, and
said: I'd say yes myself to a ring like
that Then she laughed in that limpid,
coddling way a certain class of women
have, and Humphreys-he was q for

plump, white finger to see how it

chaperoning the party, but nobody ex
cept me seemed to have any evil
thoughts, and even suspected myself.
eve got back to the house without
anything more thrilling than small
talk, and after nice little supper at
which, l thought, Humphreys and the
creole kept up a pretty steady eX-
change Of rather tropical compliments,
we all went into the music room for a
song. 1 think there We're eight besides
Edith's mother in the party, all nice
young people of the very best families

cept Humphreys and the New Orleans
cousin. She fitted in all right, at least
with the men, but Humphreys just
couldn't help figuring him out as an in

"Now for the ugly part of it. Some
body asked Edith to sing a ballad and
of course we all insisted. She sat down
to the piano, fingered the keys a mo-
ment, took off the beautiful marquise
ring, laid it on the top OF the instru-
ment and began to play and sing. 1
think she played four or five things be-

never saw any one after that. Corinne
Forgeron went home to New Orleans
and 1 went back to West Point. Poor
Edith's wedding never came off, but
I'm sure she's happier than If she had
married Humphreys. Any way she
wasted away and I-but that's another
story.

Porcelain yiolins.

A well known manufacturer of musi.
cal instruments in Germany-Max
Freyer-has introduced process for
making violins from clay. These fid.
dies are OF the ordinary pattern, but
are cast in molds, so that each instru-
ment is an exact counterpart of its
fellow. 1t is said, but it is somewhat
hard to believe, that the porcelain body
acts as better resonator than one Of
wood, and that the tone Of the instru-
ment is therefore singularly pure and
full. The same inventor is also making
mandolins of china clay and 1t seems
that they are much appreciated in
southern countries where this instru-
ment in regarded more seriously than
1t Is in Britain. The obvious disadvan-
tage of n musical instrument being
made of china clay is the brittleness
of that material, as well as its weight,
but both these drawbacks seem to
have been forgotten. For some time
We have heard rumors of most excel
lent violins being made Of aluminium,
and this metal, from its extreme ligh1.
ness and other qualities, would seem
to be admirably adapted to such pur-
pose.-Chambers's Journal.

YANKEE FRENCH FURNITURE.
Household Goods Bought in Paris Turn

Household GOODS Bought IN Paris Turn
Out to Be Made by Michigan Factory.
"There is one woman In Michigan
who will never spend any more money
in Paris" said a travelling man who
had been = guest in the house of which
the woman Is mistress, says the Ban
gor News. "She and her good husband
are entitled to the best earth can pro.
duce. They have labored together and
had a variety of experiences .n their
forty years Of married life.
LESS than n year ago they thought
they had reached the long desired but
usually receding time which men and
women hope to reach when they can sit
down and take their ease. So they
went journeying beyond the sea.
when they got to Paris the good
wife began lamenting. The splendor
Of the shops along the boulevards burst
upon her vision like an unexpected
dream of beauty. Why had they not
visited Paris long ago?
'Now her crochet was furniture, and
you know that Frencth furniture sim
ply makes woman stand stiff. This
good woman talked about the furniture
she saw until her fine old husband told
her to go and order what she wanted
and they would have it to enjoy in
the evening of their lives.
"When they got home they told their
neighbors, and the town paper printed
pieces about the Partisan purchase and
the whole village was standing tiptoe
awaiting the coming importation. Only
ten years before they had refurnished
their home out of the factories at
Grand Rapids. All this had to be sac
rificed. Some of it was sold and some
Of it was parcelled out as gifts. Fin
ally the French outfit reached its des.
tination.

set up. AS an old friend I was in

with having me look at the article,
but 1 must inspect it. So far as my
friends are concerned, shall always
regret that 1 consented. but the in
spection also caused me to think better
of my mechanical friends in this coun-
try, for 1 made the discovery by q
trade mark on the bottom of one of
the drawers that the furniture had
been turned out in Grand Rapids,
shipped to France and there sold as
Partisan handicraft.
"As an American I laughed from
my cuff buttons up to my shoulder.
But as Michigan is pretty big State.
and lots of people go abroad and buy
on the other side, l have no hesitation
in telling the story. l quite agree with
my host, who said: Between the cute
ness of those chaps in Grand Rapids,
and the glibness of q Paris dealer,
the middleman is sure to go up against
it"
