When the freight train reached Al
exandria the brakeman gave the girl
some good advice and took her to the

her with complete outfit of woman's
clothes, bought her a railroad ticket
and started her for home.
But Miss Austin did not go in that
direction, for two hours later she ap-
peared at the Florence Crittenton mis-

might stay there for awhile. She ex-
planned, with apparent sincerity, that
she was professional circus rider, but

Leap Year in the Ukraine.

In one part of "all the Russias,' the
province Of Ukraine, it is always leap
year as far as the female privilege OF
proposing is concerned. 1t is said to be
customary there. when young woman
falls in love with man, for her to go
to his fathers house, and in the most
tender and pathetic manner plead with
the young man to take her as lis wife.
She promises the most submissive ODE
cience to his'will if he will but accept
her. If the young man says: II beg
that you will excuse me from this" she
tells him that she is resolved not to de-
part until he shall promise to take Der
for better or worse. She accordingly
takes up her abode there and remains
until he is wooed and won or until he
ends the siege by fleeing to parts I'M

SMART BEAR FAMILY
THEY FEAsTED ALL WINTER ON
FAR1xER MACK'S APPLES.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bruin and the Young
Bruins Lived High on Over
$50 Bushels of Choic-
est Russets.

Pennsylvania black bears never
played a more cunning nor more ex-
pensive trick than the family of black
rascals who all of last winter robbed
Farmer Eli Mack, of Bobst Mountain,
Pa. making him the poorer by at
least $3.50. Though Mr.. Mack sue
ceeded in killing three of the thieves
after the most sensational of disclos-
ures made upon his sadly depleted
stock of potatoes and apples, yet
both hides and pelts were not in a con-
dition that commanded much money.
He made less than $40 out of the three
bears, so that he is yet over 5000 to
the bad for having furnished win
ter's forage to ravenous family.
Mr. Mack had one of the best little
fruit farms in Lycoming county. His
high, dry and south-slope fields yield
fruit that keeps we'll. One-half of his
orchard is of the russell variety-an
apple that is splendid keeper, SO
that it has long been his custom to
store this variety Of fruit in a spe-
cially built cave until spring, when
market prices reach double the figures
commanded in the fall and early win
ter months Last fall he stored 180
bushels of russets. A small section OF
the cave was reserved for Is bushels
of late fall potatoes 1t was late in
November when he closed and sealed
the cave for the winter, with expecta-
tions of a good market and robust
prices during April and May.
But imagine the chagrin of the Macks
when they opened the cave three
weeks ago, to find that nearly all the
fruit and the apples were gone. Last
fall, in order to accommodate a larger
quantity of apples, they had dug the
cave further into the hill, and at the
extreme rear had followed out a
chamber as wide as the rock walls
would permit. Every apple was gone
out of the chamber, and in the bottom
of the cave was yawning hole that
ran somewhere into the depths of the
earth. Lowering lantern into this
hole, Mack and his boys we're not long

Milk in Mechanics.

Twenty thousand quarts of skinned
milk a day are used in Austria for max
ing substitutes for horn. ivory, amber
and such like things. The casein in the
milk is precipitated by a chemical proc
ess andthen mixed with forlnaline. This
produces galaith, or petrifled milk, a
hard, elastic, insoluble substance that
is easily worked The Austrian dairy
experts think that the demand for the
skinned milk for this purpose will be
great enough to increase the profit in
the butter-making business by produc-
Ing ready market for the by-product.

creatures who had worked their way
through to the apple cave. Their en-
largement of the cave had, they found,
extended across the crevice extending
to the bears den, save for shallow
covering of clay, and this, some time
during the winter, the bears had
scratched away, thus opening the way
to the juicy russets that must have
poured themselves down in a golden
shower at the feet of the ravenous
bears. The potatoes went the way OF
the apples, and when Farmer Mack
opened the cave to get load of the
latter for market at the rave of $1.20
a bushel, there was hardly enough left
to fill barrel. There were still about
20 bushels of apples in the cave, show
ing that during the long winters feast
the bear family had devoured over LOO
bushels of the russets 58N

"BREAKING THE BANK. J,

Sir Hiram Maxim's Monte Carlo, 2
just published, is not only book in
which the mathematician will reveI
and the moralist find subjects for
many sermons, but a storehouse Of
strange stories. Sir Hiram mentions
player who admitted loss of
$425,OO0 in sixteen years In other
words he must have staked $25.UOO.-
0OO-according to average play-or
more than forty tons of gold.
Sir Hiram has much that is inter-
esting to say of the famous System
by which Lord Rosslyn and the late
Mr.. Sam Lewis broke the bank-or at
least the authorities pretended the
bank was broken. The two players
went to et-quarante table,
and each staked maximum of 12,-
600 francs upon black Black came
up and they were paid $4,000 francs.
Again they staked the maximum and
won. When they had scored seven
consecutive wins the bank was again
broken. A bell was rung and much
ceremony was observed before more
money was delivered, and then the
play went on. The bank was again
declared broken. and with more cere-
mony more money was sent for. Hun
dreds of people had gathered round,
and everybody staked on black, which
came up seventeen times. The
eighteenth coup was red, and Lord
Rosslyn and Mr. Lewis lost 1900
francs each. Sir Hiram was skentical
as to the bank being broken. Il did
not believe for a moment that the
bank had actually been broken. I
knew that there had been great deal
of play that day, and that the win
nings of this particular table must
have been heavy indeed. / therefore
remained to see the money taken from
the table, when I found that it was
exactly as had expected was
at least peck of large bank notes.
Tt had not been necessary for the bank
to send for money at all; this had only
been done for effect, and valuable
advertisement had been obtained"

FREAK or RUNAWAY MAID.
Virginia Girl Who Wanted to Be a

mous old family whose fortunes were
closely connected with those of Lord
Baltimore in the early days of the
Maryland colony, and whose ancestors
fought under Washington in the revo-

brothers clothes the other day. cut off
her hair and ran away from her home

Miss Austin is IL years old, tall, slen-

not succeed In getting away and was
taken back to her home, fearful and re-
pentant, was due to the good sense of

A Hygienic Hint.

Many housekeepers do not know that
the tiny black specks seen on almost
every lemon are the eggs of an insect.
If the grated rind is used these eggs
become an unwholesome element OF

into water as soon as they come from
the store, then scrubbed with a little
brush, dried with cloth and hung in
a net in cupboard until used.-Detroit
