His Best Ideas.

That the American man with the
hoe does not find the life of the farm
stultifying must surely be inferred
from the words of an old tiller of the
soil. who came across a classical vol
ume and found in Plato a kindred
spirit. The good American farmer
called upon doctor, and was ushered
into the library. At once the well-filled
book-shelves drew his attention. "Are
you fond of reading?" asked the doc
tor, noting the wandering gaze. "Well,
yes returned the farmer, modestly.
II should be pleased to lend you book
to take home with you," said the other.
Just take any one that you think
you'd like to read" ooh, I'm no good
at selectin'," replied the old man.
"You pick one out, DOCTOR" So the
doctor, in a spirit Of fun, gave the
farmer a book written by Plato. The
old man went away, and at the end of
a week reappeared with the book I'M
der his arm. WELL" queried the doc
tor, ibid you read the book? ~ Eyes, I
did," was the emphatic answer. And
what did you think of it?" ''It was
fust-rate," responded the farmer. "I've
read It through from kiyer to kiver. I
never heard tell OF this fellow Plato
before, but all the same I'm glad to
find that the old chap has been writing
up some Of my very best ideas"

CHAPTER & Z.

At break of day next morning, Ma
marah, accompanied by her maidens,
dressed all in sad garments of mourn
ing, passed through the streets of Miz-
peh and wendell their way toward the
mountains, and, as they passed along,
behold the people came forth of their
houses to look upon them. and ever as
they saw the maidens, in their sack
cloth and ashes, men and women, and
even little children, lifted up their
voices and wept, for the vow that Jeph-
than had vowed was known unto all
the people; also that the maiden Ma
marah was gone, according unto GUS
tom, to bewail upon the mountains
with the maidens, her companions.
And as the maldens walked with sad
and measured steps, the maiden Ma
marah walked ever at their head, her
stately height and noble form swathed
in sackcloth. And, although the hood
of her mantle hid her face from view,
the people said she sobbed in passing,
because that they saw the futtering
rise and fall of her breast beneath the
folds of her gown.
But Namarah was not weeping. Her
brow was calm and solemn, and her
great eyes serene as be stars. Her
vigil had made her pale as the ashes
wherewith she had sprinkled her gar
ments, but the look of her face was
strong and confident, and ever she
whispered in the silence of her heart
"He will deliver"
AS the town was left behind, and the
rugged mountain path up which they
were to wend their toilsome way was
come in view, Namarah paused, and
the maidens who followed, pausing
also, say her part the folds of her gar
ment and take therefrom the mes
senger-dove which had already served
so faithfully. She spake no word
neither looked she to the right nor the
left, while all the maidens wondered,
but lifting it to her lips she gently
kissed it, then raising her arm above
her head she held it on her open palm,
giving it little impulse upward, at
which it spread it's wings and flew,
with sure and steady flight backward
along the path that they had come.
Namarah stood and looked at it until
the wilderness of its feathers was even
one with the whiteness of the clouds.
and then she turned about and began
to climb the mountain-path, her maid
ems following. Then were there tears
in her ewes in that nomont which
overlooked and fell upon her cheek, but
no eye there was that saw them.

Disappearing Awnings for stores.

Disappearing Awnings for Stores.
If there is any one feature of a
store which detracts from its appear.
ance more than another it is the dec.
Grafton of the front with dilapidated
and faded awning. This may answer
all purposes as far as keeping of the
sun and rail, but its condition is sure
to prove a detriment to the store. In
some measure this has been i'm.
proved upon by the permanent metal
awnings; yet these must render the
interior of the store dark and gloomy,
and necessitate the use of artificial
light on cloudy days. Now, com.
promise between the two ideas has
made its appearance, nothing less
than a metallic awning, which can be
projected over the pavement or with.
drawn at will. In the illustration is
presented a sectional view Of store

jected over the pavement, showing

illuminated at intervals by automatic
means acting upon an electric lamp,

to take my spirit back to Him who
gave it, and so leave thee here upon
the earth, will it seem too hard thing
to wait with patience until the hour of
thy release from earth and flesh shall
come, when thy spirit shall again meet
mine?"
"Too hard thing, Namarah! I
could wait till eternity were ended
sooner than could love any Other
maiden than thee!"
"Ah, sweet, sweet is thy love and
loyalty beloved" saith Namarah; "and
my heart is even warmed and COM
forted to hear thee speak those words.
Nevertheless. there is thing would
have thee remember. If it should be,
when l am dead, that thou shouldst
ever love, another maiden-for thou art
young, and there be others worthy of
thy love, and life alone is long and
sad would not have thee live unwed
because of me. If thou choosest to
marry thou hast my full consent, and
even my blessing from Heaven"
But at her words the young man
thrust her from him almost roughly
and turned on her the first ungentle
look his face had ever worn to her.
Thou art unkind and cruel unto me

not like to mine for thee, or thou
couldst not think possible the thing

alone, and my soul shall even wait for

draw hot water from pipe connected
directly with the. city water supply.
How this is accomplished can be seen
by little study of the drawing, which
shows the apparatus complete and
ready for use.
The valve stem is extended at the
rear and connects directly with the
switch which controls the electric cur.
rent, so that when the faucet is open
ed the switch is closed and vice versa
Beneath the faucet is attached cas-.
ing, which resembles a filter, but
which is in reality a pair of cleo.
trodes, between which the water must
pass before it can flow to the basin or
bowl beneath. When the current is
turned into these electrodes, they be-
come so hot as to heat the water
passing between them, provided the
flow is not too rapid. The illustration
shows a small heater for ordinary use.
but there is no reason why the device
cannot be enlarged to heat water for
the bath or washday. Where the
house is already fitted with electric
lights it is small task to fit up the
faucets for the new water heater.

Sl hen the face of each turned to each,
.sAd long time they gazed into each

souls were barred unto each other. Then
silently their arms entwined, and softly
their lips met and pressed and chung;
and SO rested they, still upon their
knees, for the moment was sacred at
once to love and to death. The thought
OF what was to come was in the heart
OF each, and cast around them great
awe that seemed to wrap them in; but
even over this their pure love tri-
Nmphed, and the man and the maiden
were shown therein the truth of Ma
marah's words, that love is stronger
than death.
Then Adina lifted up his voice and
prayed.
And Namarah, in her gentle voice,
which the words of Adina's prayer
made now to tremble, answered even
also, amen"
After they got them to their feet
and went in search of the maiden's
father Jephthah, that they might speak
unto him cheering words and comfort
him with the comfort wherewith their
ssouls within them had been comforted.
And Namarah spoke unto her father
Jephthah, and said:
Let this thing be done for me: let
me alone two months, that may go
up and down upon the mountains, and
bewail my unhappy lott
And he said: G
Go"
And after this, behold, the face of the
maiden was no longer sorrowful, but
ever there beamed forth from it a most
calm and shining light that even COM
forted the hearts of all who gazed on
her.
