M ISIS NEELIE'S golden youth had
IVk long ago merged into the silver
path until she had long passed iife's
of middle age. In fact, 1t had never
held the bloom and sunshine of most
maidens, so she had trod an unloved
meridian.
When the Widow Hoban married for
the third time, Miss Neelfe reflected
at length upon the unjust distribution
of marital felicities and soliloquized
audibly concerning the forwardness of
some women. "Not that I'd care about
changin' my way of livin' now" she
assured Phineas, the black cat, who re-
ceived all her communications with
feline reserve,-"but really would
like to know for once. in my life how it
would seem to hAve some man say
soothin' things to me with intentions"
She was in this receptive frame Of
mind one winter evening as she sat
toasting her feet preparatory to re-
firing. The clock was wound, the doors
were locked and the soapstone was
warming itself at the fender. Miss
Neelie sat swinging to and fro in her

Experiments Recently Made By the

Great value.

What It costs to increase the speed of
q ship by one knot has lately been de-
tsrmined with great accuracy in the
steam trials of the British armored
cruiser Cape of Good Hope, says the
New York Times. On her full power
trial this vessel of 14.100 tons displace-
ment attained mean speed of 23.05
knots an hour. BY the speed curves
p,otted from the trial results It appears
that to go from half speed-11.05 knots
Ito full speed-2s.05 knots-needed.

SHARP TRICKS OF THIEVES.
Two Instances which illustrate the
Emcacy of Cheek and
Ingenuity.

Several years ago gentleman"
alighted from well-appointed brough-
am at the door of London silver
smiths shop and purchased consider
able quantity of plate, in payment of
which he rendered a1O0 note, relates
the Baltimore Sun. He carried the plate
away with him in the brougham and
shortly afterward policeman" called
at the shop to say that he had heard of
the purchase and to inform the silver
smith that the note rendered in pay
ment was q bad one. He was glad to
add, however, that the thief had been
unprecedented and requested him to at
tend at the police station at q certain
hour In the afternoon to identify the
prisoner. He told the silversmith that
1t would be necessary for him to give up
the bad note to facilitate the prelimi-
nary inquiries, and this the latter did.
obtaining a formal receipt. On going
to the police station the unfortunate
shopkeeper found that he had been
hoaxed. The gentleman" and the ''po-
liceman" were both members of the
light-fngered fraternity and the note
was good one.
Two ladies on entering q house In
Belgravia to attend an Afternoon party
were accosted by well-dressed gentle-
man, who said: Il presume you are
going to Lady C.'s," and they went ID
together. Although the lady of the
house did not recognize the gentleman.
she concluded that he had been fully
invited, as he accompanied her friends.
After a handsome silver service had
been placed on the table the hostess
was called out OF the room for few
minutes, and during her absence the
gentleman said to the company: I'll
play trick on my aunt" and at the
same time proceeded to fill his pockets
with silver spoons, cream jug, sugar
basin, ETC., and hastily left the apart
ment. Shortly afterward Lady c.
returned and said, with some surprise,
II thought the servant had brought IN
all the tea service" YES" replied one
of the two ladies, ''but your nephew
said he would play trick on you and
carried on most Of the articles" My
nephew" exclaimed her ladyship. Il
have no nephew in the world. thought
the gentleman was q friend of y0ure."

to propel her at Is knots; or, to put II
In still another way. the power required
to propel her at full speed would have
propelled two vessels of the same size
at an average speed of 10 knots an hour.
At full speed her coal consumption was
rs tons an hour, at 10 knots it was about
II tons. This means that at full speed
she would move .S5 knot for each ton of
coal burned under her boilers, while at
10 knots the distance would be doubled
for the same coal consumption. This H.
Illustrates very clearly the price paid for
high speed afloat. Applying the ratios
thus established to steamers Of the At
fantic merchant feet II will be readily
understood why the ''greyhounds" earn
more applause than dividends.
