He heard a brief whispered consul

Sempland darted toward it on the in

suffered within, she had suffered with

agony and anguish he had never seen
on any human face. She trembled
violently before him. Yet she was
resolute not to give way, determined
to keep the door. Clustered at her
back were the three trembling negroes
armed one with knife, another with
a pistol, another with a stout club.

He could do her no violence, that
was certain. He stood silent before
her, his head bent toward the floor,
thinking deeply. Her heart went out
to him then, her soul yearned to him.
She had hurt him, he must hate her
and she loved him.
Twill you not come in and speak
to me for a moment?" he asked her
quickly enough at last.
She signed to the men, stepped for

behind her, and they were alone.

Scientist Illustrates His Method of
Fireproofing Before Western So
ciety of Engineers, Chicago.

Chicago, JAM, 22.-Joseph L. Terrell
of Philadelphia threw handfuls of ex-
celsior on a hot gas fire in the rooms
of the Western Society Of Engineers
last evening. It smoked, but did not
blaze.
Then he placed pine shavings on
top of the excelsior and pine splinters
on top of them. Still there was no
blaze.
Mr.. Terrell, who is a chemist and
the holder of the Cressdh gold medal,
the highest award given by the
Franklin institute of Philadelphia for
chemical discoveries, had been asked
to address the engineers on freproof-
ing wood and combustible fabrics. He
told them it could be done cheaply,

the kettle will make fat-tasting bev-
erage. individually we prefer boiling
the water in a saucepan, as it is sure
to be fresh and clean. For filtered cOf-
fee the bean can hardly be ground too
fine. The usual allowance is one table
spoonful of coffee for each half-pint of
water. Pour the boiling water over the
coffee in the biggin, little at a
time, until all has dripped thru and
it is of the requisite strength. Keep
hot without boiling until served. For
boiled coffee add q crushed egg shell
and little of the raw egg-about a
third to one cupful of ground coffee
with sufficient cold water to
moisten. Turn this into the freshly
scalded pot, add the boiling water,
boil for five minutes, then draw to
one side for five minutes to settle.

Metal Found in Texas.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 22.-Vast guam
titles of a substance known as yttrium
earth, containing radium activities,
have been discovered in the Llano
mineral region. Scientists who have
been making an investigation of these
earths assert that they will produce
more radium than any other known
deposits in the world.
A rare mineral called feurshar has
also been discovered in the Llano dis
trict. It sheds a pale light and the
rays of a small piece of the mineral
will fill a large room at night. This
mineral is green in color and has been
found in other regions, but was not
known before to give off light.

FireproOf Canvas.
To show that theater scenery could
be made as in1pervious as wood, the
chemist held a piece of canvas in
the flame, and, while it smoked a
little around the edges, there was no
flame. Then he took up piece of
pine, one-quarter of an inch thick,
one side of which had been fireproofed
and the other not. It had been on
the gas fire with the ireproof side
down during half an hour, and it
showed no signs of combustion ex-
cept that it was charred where the
flame touched it.
'It is generous Georgia pine, with
plenty of resin in it," said Mr.. Fer

Candidates for Speaker.

Three gentlemen, among the republican
members, have been elected to the House
of Representatives in our legislature, who
are eminently qualified for the position
of speaker. These are Mr.. Justus Dartt
of Springfield, Mr.. John II. Merrified of
Newfane, and Mr.. Fletcher Proctor of
Proctor. Either one we believe in all
respects would make most acceptable
and capable speaker.
There may be others equally capable,
but probably no others whose ability,
and evident fitness for this position, are
so well known.
Mr.. Mortified was speaker of the last
house, and a most acceptable one to
republicans and democrats alike. That
is he was acceptable, 50 far as we know,
to every member of the house, always
gentlemanly, always fair, and always
efficient.
Mr.. Fletcher Proctor has also been
speaker, and is said to have been a very
good one.
Mr. Dart has been a member of several
legislatures. repeatedly occupied the
speakers chair, and proved himself to be
entirely competent to fill it,
Should the legislature elect either of
these gentlemen it cannot go amiss.
