Miss Leigh bent over him; her dislike
to Vivians wife did no extend to Wv
ian's son.
"He is very pretty, is he not?" asked
the young mother, proudly.
II suppose So" was the careless
reply. 81 can never see any difference
in babies-they are all alike. 1t was
not wise thing of you, Lady Selwyn,
to take Theresa Bowden as your
maid"
"Why not?" asked Violante.
~ told you when | first saw her, :
replied Beatrice, with shrug Of her
beautiful shoulders, that she bears a
most unfortunate resemblance to your
SELF and now it seems to me that the
baby here is more like her than any
body else"
"How can you say SO, Miss Leigh
Indignantly cried Lady Violante. MY
baby like my maid Why, you told
Vivian yourself that he was like Sir
Rupert in the gallery there"
Nay" said Beatrice, carelessly;
"do not excite yourself over few care
less words | trust, for Vivian's sake,
the child may turn out true Selwyn
after all
"Why should he not?" asked Lady
Violante, her fair young face flushing.
rs there any reason why my little son
should not be true Selwyn?"
None that | know of, said Miss
Leigh. at is always uncertain, sup
pose, which side of the family children
will take after"
''If he takes after NINE" said Lady
Violante, reused into something like
anger, "he will be an honest gentle
man"
"All lawyers are gentlemen by Act
of Parliament" said Miss Leigh, with
seeming unconcern; but Lady Selwyn
perceived the studied insult.
"My father is a gentleman in every
sense of the word" she said; Kind,
considerable, thoughtful and utterly in
capable of wounding the feelings OF
another personal---very. incapable of
cold insult or cruel sarcasm"

air of right royal scorn-"once let a
woman of that class get the upper
hand, and there would be no bounds to
her abuse OF authority
MY dear Beatrice" said Mrs. Sci

ask Gu not to call Violante a woman
of that class. She really was mighty
respectable; her father is gentleman

Modern VS.. oIdFashioned Powder.

The subject of the powder-or, as it
has been called, the spirit of artillery
cannot be overlooked in the ex-
animation of guns. John F. Meigs,
one of Americas formost gun-making
experts, has this to say on the subject
in the special number on iron and
steel, recently issued by the Scientific
American: In the last few years the
use Of so-called smokeless powders
has become universal. These are all
nitro substitution products, and their
principal characteristic, from an
artillery point of view, is the fact that
the entire weight, or very nearly the
entire weight, turns into gas. In the
older powders only about so per cent.
of the weight was gasified, and the re-
naming 40 per cent. was projected
from the gun in the form of dust and
constituted a considerable waste of
energy. The point not entirely
satisfactory in modern powders is
their constancy in pressure and
velocity, and stability in storage. 1t
is question whether under the same
conditions of storage they are as
stable and safe as the old-fashioned
powder. Indeed, there is every rea-
son to believe that they are not as
safe or as stable, and they are
watched with great care at stated
times when stored. incidentally, this
powder gives little or no smoke,
which is usually, but not always, an
advantage

THE FIRST AMERICAN.
Or. Ashmead Advances a New Theory
as to His Antecedents


as to His Antecedents
Chicago Chronicle.-For more than
two centuries scientists have been of
differing opinions as to the antecedents
of man as he was found upon the dis
covery of the North American CONT
nent. Negotiations are now pending
between DR.. Albert S. Ashmead, the
anthropologist of New York, and Sol
Berliner, the American consul at Ten
eriffe, for the shipment of fossils which
theory as TO the first inhabitants of
America. DR.. Ashmead is of the opin-
ion that the original American did not
come from Asia, but travelled across
a reef of land, now submerged, that
extended from Spain to the Canary
islands and thence to the West Indies
and South America This emigration
came to pass 10000 years ago. The
glacial period had been in existence
for long time, according to DR.. Ash
mead, and many of the inhabitants
doubtless had never seen water except
in the form of ice. Then came the
"postglacial" period, when the water
began to rise and break up the ice. 1t
is supposed that there were thousands
living on top of the Alps. who were
crowded out by the rise of the water
Being ignorant the men of the colony
allowed their beasts of burden to
think for them. Dr. Ashmead says
the reindeer and the llama would not
endure the new conditions without

room alone. There had been a grand
christening party before, and the
young heir had received the name of
| Rupert His sponsors were their
graces the Duke and Duchess of Hal
| ton, and no royal baptism was ever
conducted with more grandeur or
greater ceremony.
Lord Vivian had not quite liked to
tell his wife that her request was re-
fused, that her wish could not be graf
| ified. Still it had to be done; there
was no resisting the eloquence of
Beatrice Leigh That young lady had
fashion of speaking as though her
lips had been touched by fire. She
had the gift of eloquence- so useful
to man, so useless to woman. When
she spoke of mere passing events, it
was with an energy that carried all
hearts with her. Her words were al
ways well chosen, picturesque and
graceful. She could always, as WV
ian said of her, make a good picture
in words.
She had used all her eloquence to
prevent the young mistress of Selwyn
Castle from having her own way over
the name to be given to her child.
So Vivian had gone up to see his
wife, with something of shame and
hesitation on his handsome face.
"Violante," he said, very quietly,
81 am afraid you will be disappointed;
h,,t I Jn uic hpl
the naming of our boy. He must be
called Rupert"
She looked calmly at him-no flush
es of angry feeling rose to her fair
face.
Miss Leigh would not have it, |
suppose?" she said; and he did not
detect the pain hidden in her voice.
1T was not all Beatrice" he replied.
my mother strongly objected; and
che must comply with the family GUS
toms. The eldest OF the Selwyns is
generally called Rupert. You must
ask me something else, that | may
have the happiness Of granting your
request"
II have no other to make" she re-
Piled too proud to allow him to see
that she was hurt. 1t had been on her
lips to ask that Horace Temple might
be sent for from Oakside, and asked to
he her baby's sponsor; but with one
direct refusal, she did not wish to
risk another.
She said nothing to him of the pain
kat xphn did
it end? The words of the Bible are
strong What say they of jealousy
dark and burning, and bitter as death.
For the first time, Lady Violante was
Jealous of Beatrice Leigh.
"She can do more with my husband
than can" thought the poor child.
why is it? l love him, and she does
not Why should wish of hers over
rule wish of mine?"
Lying there in the fragrant solitude
of her room, the May sunheams peep
ing in, and odorous lilies sending up
sweet messages, Lady Violante thought
much of Beatrice Leigh.
"She does not like me-" said the
young mother to herself. Her eyes
are so beautiful yet they always look
cold and cruel to me. She smiles
when she speaks to me, but her smile
is like a sneer. | have never wronged
her, yet she does not like me, know"
When she recovered and sat looking
like a beautiful white lily in the pink
glow of her room hung with rose-red
silk, Beatrice Leigh went in to see her.
The little heir of Selwyn lay in his
bassinet very marvel of white lace
and ribbons and silk. The little gold
en- head nestled on the pillow, and the
fair, pearly face smiled even in sleep.

Some Sound Argument

1t is a fine art to produce piano
that possesses all the desirable quail
tiles and none of the poor ones. 1t
involves the assembling of the right
woods, metals, felts and feathers.
and the proper seasoning, shaping
and proportioning of them, the ex-
act regulation of the thicknesses of
the sounding board to give it the
proper resonance, the right temper
ing and winding of the steel strings
to give them the finest tone, the nj
cest adjustment of the action, and
we might truthfully say. millions
of other matters of minute detail.
Now, if the sound of piano pos
sesses all the desirable qualities, it
follows of course that it has been
properly constructed. Such piano
is gem. It will be as much salts
faction to you 20 years hence as it
is now.
Come in and let US explain to
you the construction of our instru-
ments, and their sound qualities.
Ours are the very finest made, and
include such perfectly constructed
pianos as the Weber of New York,
the Chickering of Boston and the
Kimball of Chicago. Pianos whose
sound qualities are not equalled the
world over, and many sterling
makes not so high priced.
Our business footing, too, is on a
sound basis. We sell at small mar.
gin of profit and on the lowest pay
ments and easiest terms of any
piano store on the coast.

advantage to make your piano pur-

 The ore averages 14 per cent cop per and is quite il line with the ex- pectations of the company.

two calamities have had a most dis couraging effect on the camp, though there is no real cause for such a con dition.
 The great works of the Arizona Copper company continues to pour forth the usual stream of copper into the lap of the worlds commerce. The mines were never more prolific in the amount of ore in sight than now ard a great deal of new development work is being done by individuals and companies who have not yet reached the produCfIls stage. At dlft;l the wages of none of the men were effected by the strike Of last June. as no miners are employed a. Clifton. the industry there being confred to the reduction works of the Arizona Coppef company and the Shannon Copper company. As many men are employed now in Clifton and at as good wages as there ever was. and as I said, there seems to be no real cause for the present dull times The strike and flood. both coming together, seems 10 nave alarmed the people and they are ev- idntly economizing at every point possible in anticipation of future ca lamities which are purely imaginary.
 The Clifton-Norenci district is Sone of the best mineral fields Sn Arizona. Here is where the frs, copper was smelted in Arizona and it is safe to say that there never was more ore in sight than now and the output of bullion was never so great. The ore bodies there are the largest that have ever been encountered fn the west and as that district was the first to turn out copper bullion in Arizona. it will certainly be one of the longest lived. During the past year several properties in this dis trict have been making regular ship ments of ore to the smelters in Clifton. both the reduction works there being purchasers of custom ores. l think this fall Clifton will take on new life and it will become as good business point as ever"
