SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
Ruses Employed by People to b

AnouSuI WHAT AuSy axe 0OCs
The desire is almost universal.
Whole crowds of people Of all classes
are trying, the world over, to get
something for nothing, and they car
~ the art of dead-beating to an almost
admirable, even if sinister, perfection.
Take the people in this city who go
constantly to church and part with
very few centavos in the whole year
round for the support of the reverend
clergy. Salvation as a free lunch
counter suits these people perfectly.
No wonder half the clergy are poorly
fed and poorly lodged. People who
think otherwise would do well to in
vestigate.
There are people who are striving
to get public appreciation for their
linguistic talents, who stammer a few
phrases of foreign tongue, and are,
when cornered, sure to say: "But |
am out of practice, you know" There
is also the literary genius" who never
wrote anything anyone would read,
and who never dips into a book of
any solid merit. A volume of familiar
quotations is his stock in trade.
In New York the big hotels suffer
from the stationery thieves who bold

swat their chance to stuff their pock-

Proposed Flying Boat.

Herr Gustav Koch, of Berlin, pro-

He recently showed to the German
Society for Aerial Navigation his in

and light motor-boat floating on the
surface of the water. It has adjust

In consequence of the construction
of the great Assouan dam on the Nile,
600 miles above Cairo, the famous
temples on the island of Philae are
partially submerged when the reser-
voir is full of water. But the civilized
world would not willingly see these
magnificent relics of antiquity de-
stroyed, and accordingly an elaborate
system of underpinning the buildings
was adopted. Some of the. colonnades
and temples were found to be resting
on fractured stone beams, brokens by
subsistence of the soil: Heavy steel
girders, inclosed with rubble masonry
and mortar, which protect them from
corrosion, were placed under the
broken foundations, and the masonry
was carried down to bed rock beneath.
The work was done in the face of con-
siderable danger, but without aeci-
dent.--Youth's Companion.

course while his caddie kept close to
him all the time. At each bad stroke
the caddie made muttered but per-

"Confound your impudence,' exclaimed
the irritated player at last as he
plowed up ton of earth, ''if you say
anything more I'll just hit you over the

die, calmly, showing him the bag Of

They were early at the art roofs.


A quiet group here and there, an artist
or two, heavy-haired and thin-faced,
discussed with a friend the hanging
or treatment of some favorite study.
Doris and he were cousins several
times removed, and tacit sweethearts
ever since the mud-pie era of their
Joint lives. Always, he remembered,
there had been that about her; she
knew when to talk to him, and when
to be silent In his eyes, tonight, the
quality took the form of an angelic at
tribute. Until the coming of Elsie Les
ter into his life, he had thought her
the sweetest thing the world held.
They made their way slowly down
the long room, Doris making notes,
OCCASIONALLY. in little black book. At
one side, deep door opened into
smaller compartment.
"Let us GO in" Nolan said.
They sat down on one of the semi
circular sea is in the middle of the room.

was bank of tall palms. The room
was deserted.
Doris was making lengthy notes on
n small picture opposite, with the black
book on her knee, when the electric
lights, exercising theirinalienab BILE pre-
rogative, fickered and went out, ex-
cept the tiniest glimmer.
Still in the dusk, soft garments
swished across the floor and two wom-

owing palms. They chartered softly
for a few minutes. Presently there
was an exclamation of surprise and adj
miration from one of them; then Ell

in it that went through Nolan like the
anguish of the rack.

it cost fine sum! / only got it to-day.
Such an outrageous fib as had to tell,

There was ripple of mocking laugh

strained senses did not catch. Then

The words had scarcely left her lips,

They revealed man just entering the
doorway. He was cheaply ard show

dazed eyes had taken in so much. when
Elsie rose She went smiling to meet
the intruder. and he tucked her arm,
with its blazing circlet. within his own.
Turning, they left the room
Doris gaze had followed them. She
withdrew it to meet Nolan's. Her
cheeks were scarlet.
