The cool ripples purred gratefully
around her toes as she stepped in,
tly selecting smooth resting
places. She was over; the flowers
were hers. Full of pleased excitement,
she stole back.
Midway she stopped and dabbled.
Isn't this fun" she thought. "Heav-
ems! What's that! A COW! A man!
What?"
In the thick alder bushes just above
something was rapidly pushing it's
way. Miss Edwinson stumbled the
remaining distance with indiScreet
haste and much splashing. Another
moment found her in the former rest
ing place, flushed, but composed; her
footgear quickly scrabbled beneath
her dress-the tell-tale feet snugly
tucked from observation.
SO Howard Birdsall found Miss Ed
winson, as hurrying down the brook,
wondering at the sound of disturbed
water, he came by her tree.
'Hullo," said that lady, calmly.
Where did you come from? Go right
along with your fishing; 1 want to
read"
Let ME stay. I've fished enough, !"
pleaded the young man. "I haven't seen
you all day. Why don't you take a
more comfortable position? You look
all cramped up
81 like this one. No, l must finish
my book. Yop can come back in half
an hour and walk home with me-"
Birdsall stood gazing admiringly at
the bright face, over which a shade of
annoyance was stealing. He half turned
to obey, and the girl cast her eyes
away to where the pool spread it's
beauty before her. Suddenly she Shrek
ed, and pointed excitedly.

wrecked ship.
A young Pole, Jan Szczepanilk has
invented a bullet-proof vest which is
made entirely of silk and so thin and
light that it may be worn in place of
the regular garment. He hit upon the
idea by experimenting with raw silk
until he succeeded in weaving a thread
OF extraordinary strength and tough
ness. 1t is from this that he makes the
underVests which resist the passage of
bullet or sword. He is willing at any
time to make tests of his invention, and
those Which he has undergone have
SHOWN that bullets would only leave a
gray spot where they struck and then
rebound. The young man has also de-
Vlsed a three-color loom, by the use of
which he can reproduce all of the col
ors ana shades in use. In the art of
weaving he is a remarkable person.
There are now being constructed in
front of several New York theatres au-
tomato electric cab calls. Under the
present method an employee with a
megaphone calls out the numbers of
the cabs wanted, and the results is that
mere is a confusion of shouts and cries
With the new device the attendant has
out 10 press number and it will be
shown in large figures on an electrically
nghted sign where all of the cabbies
can see it.
"A somewhat similar invention has
neen devised for the purpose of showing
IN railway cars the next station. Only
tnose who are expert in the jargon of
the brakeman can tell what he is saying

hurry. With the new invention the
yelling will be done away with. The
brakeman has but to press a button lust
as the train leaves one station and a
rotating apparatus will turn a coil of
paper until the name of the next sta
ton is displayed when it stops auto
matically until the button is pressed
again. Herbert Wallace

young man, staring wildly.

She covered her eyes with a little
groan and thrust out a foot from the
protesting dress. There" she gasped.
I've done it,"
A few minutes later a man who had
evidently waded without regard to
clothing stood by the side of a sobbing
girl In his hand he held the toe-a
perfect imitation, made of some light
material. delicately tinted, even to the
rosy nail, and from it dangled tiny
broken strap. "Lillian!" he breathed,

Through her tears and covering
hands showed two mortified blue eyes.

WONDERFUL NEW INVENTIONS.

Life Saving Device-AutOmatic Cab


Capt. Andre, a Chicago life-saving
official. has recently made an import
ant improvement in the methods of
throwing life lines to wrecked or dis
abled ships. If the wreck happens at
night a steel rocket is used which
leaves a trail of light behind it and
thus enables not only the life savers
to locate the vessel in distress, but
it also shows those on the ship where
the life line has been cast. The cap
tain has devised a combination of col
ored lights which will burn for al
most a minute in continuous trail
of light. Under the old methods shot
after shot is often fired from the shore
without reaching tn ship, and without
giving giving any knowledge to the
crew that an attempt is being made 10

1899 .............. 81, l96, $50 1.765, 315
An examination of this table shows
that the production of honey in the
United States in the year 1899 was o.
7O1,167 pounds less than it was in 1889,
while the production of wax was $685.
727 pounds greater than in 1889.
This shows, apparently, a tendency
on the part of the apiarists to devote
more attention to the production of
wax than formerly, the proportions be-
ing, approximately. SIS pounds of honey
to one of wax in 1889 and 80 of honey
to one of wax in 1899
In spite of the falling off in the pro-
duction of honey by the United States
as a whole, a number of the states and
territories had a production of honey
in 1899 greatly in excess of their 1889
production. This production of Ari-
iona in 1889 were 1924 pounds and
in 1899 it was $50, 400 pounds; that of
Colorado in 1889 were 800, 906 pounds
and 7,732630 pounds in 1899; that of
Kansas S90,91 pounds in 1889 and L.
1877, 569 pounds in 1899; that of Texas
1926, 1856 pounds in 1889 and ALSO, 2O4
pounds in 1899, and Utah's production
was 479158 pounds in 1889 and 1892, 11S
pounds in 1899. A number of the other
states, etc, whose total production,
however, was small, show a large gain
proportionately.
More noticeable. however, than the
above mentioned increases in produce
ton are the great losses in the amount
of honey produced since 1889 that were
suffered by some of the largest honey
producing states of the country.
Examples of this are Illinois, which
had a production of 4,602,s4l pounds in
1889 and one of only 1851, $50 pounds in
1899; Indiana, with a production of
2.106,s17 pounds in 1899 to one of but
1,6S1.S17 pounds in 1899: Missouri.
which fell from 4.492, 17S in 1889 to 3.O1s,-
929 in 1899; New York, producing 4.2S1, =
964 pounds in 1889 and but 3,422, 497 in
1899: Ohio, whose production in 1889
was 2,S94,059 and in 1899 only 1880, $50.
and, last to be mentioned but most re-
markable of all, Iowa, with a produc-
tion of 6S13,412 pounds OF honey in
1889 and one in 1899 of only 1883, 7S4
pounds. Such an enormous decrease
in production as that of Iowa. above,
is somewhat startling. and a clear ex-
PLANTATION thereof would be most inter-
esting.
No further facts OF any special inter-
est are noted in the table. which shows,
on che whole but little, II any, in
crease in the industry since 1889.

Why are so many men ailing? Why
do they continuously take treatment
for their private ills and yet never
get well? In the majority of cases
il is because they secure only ordi-
nary treatment. 1t is because they
go to the general practitioner, who
lacks the teachings of experience in
special cases, or what is still worse
for them, they go to the self-styIed
specialist whose speciality en-
braces, as their announcements i'm
ply, every known disease. 1t is be-
cause they come in contact with too
many belts, specifics, free samples,
or similar devices. That such treat
ment does not nor can not cure di-
seases and weaknesses peculiar to
men is well known to all who have
tried it.
Neglected or badly treated cases of
Varieocle, tricture, Blood Poison,
Impotency or allied troubles require
the very best treatment the medical
profession affords. They require SUI
