After The Storm.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The storm had lulled. The sea,
churned up the night before into a
seething, heavy caldron of pitch-black
waters, had subsidized now into rest

like woman's bosom after storm
of sobs. The wind, too, had fallen
light. At midnight it had come with
a sudden roar out of the north, bear.
ing on it's back a scud of sleet and
spray, and driving helpless ships be-
fore it on pitiless shores.
The fishing boats had been out all
night in the storm and stress, and
now they were struggling back into
harbor, blowing over the bar in the
wake of laboring steam tugs, or conf

crowd stood on the pierhead watching
them, townsfolk, keeply interested in
the sight ali too familiar; fishermen,
calm, phlegmatic, silently critical;
strangers, verbose, excited.
Foremost OF all was a group of wo-
men, fish graters from the denes on
the other side of the river, where
their work was to clean herring all
day at long, low flsh-filled troughs.

at their heartstrings, for their men
were at sea, and there was no know

leaving the troughs, the women tied
their shawls tight over their heads,

to watch and wait and perhaps to

RAIsIN GROWING in AUSTRALIA.
A Small Industry That Promises to
Become a Large One.

One of the minor industries which
have taken strong root in Australia is
that of raisin and currant growing.
The leading settlement in this connec-
ton is IN Northwestern Victoria, on
the Murray River, at Mildura, which
was founded in conjunction with Chat
fey Bros irrigation colony schemes.
These colonies failed at first, but of
late years it has been found that the
vines which produce the raisin grape
and the currant grape grow splendidly
both at Mildura and at Remark, a
little further along the Murray, in
South Australia; also in the Goul-
burn Valley, of Victoria, grapes for
these purposes are grown successful
ly, though the quality is not quite so
good.
So great has been the development
of this industry that the local raisins
with the exception of the Muscatel
Variety, row have control of all the
Australian markets, and last year a
start was made to export the fruit. A
good quality of currants is yet import
ed, but the time is not far distant
when we shall produce all that we re-
quire. The climate at Mildura is so
warm and dry and rainless, that the
operation of drying the fruit, which
is of the first Importance, can gener-
ally be accomplished without damage
through rain. Mildura also does
good trade in dried figs and apricots,
as we'll as selling lot of fresh fruit,
such as lemons and oranges A rail-
way connecting the settlement with
Melbourne has just been built, which
will greatly help the fresh fruit trade.
Previously all the fruit had to be sent
along the Murray River by boat and
then undergo a long train journey.
One of the principal fruit growers at
Mildura is Earl Ranfurly, who owns a
large area, and who has always taken
a warm interest in the settlement.

The Name of Lady"

The name of "lady" has SO long
been "soiled by all ignoble use" that
it has become to all intents and pur-.
poses exactly synonymous with that
of woman. 1t is not odd, therefore,
that in a case heard in a local court
last week, the attorneys referred to
their clients, women from the city's
least savory quarter, as this LADY,
and chat lady" The Judge, how
ever, objected to this application of
the name, and requested the lawyers
to use some other designation. Rare
instances such as this indicate that
the word retains for some a little of
it's old time fragrance, but nothing
can now arrest its ultimate degrade
ton. Some noble words are abased,
and some mean words are exalted,
and no lone efforts can prevail against
the current of popular usage, a cur
rent that takes some strange twists
at times. For instance, a few days
ago in local restaurant which has
one side set apart for women, and en-
ploys waitress to attend to their
wants, one of the walters was told a
patron on that side was not being
waited upon. I'm not going to wait
on her." he replied, "tney keep a lady
to wait on the men."-Portland Or

From "The Princess"
When am come to the House of the
Dead,
Promise me this-the Princess said:
Once a year when the land grows
green,
And the pulse of the world beats
strong once more,
Come to the place Of my frozen sleep,
Lift the latch Of my silent door.
Carry me forth to the world l loved
The bright warm world that I left
behind
Give me the glimpse of the sun again,
The open sky and the touch Of the
wind.
Take me back to the streets l knew,
The noise and the clamor, and the
gay unrest;
The laughter and cries and the broken
songs
OF the old glad life loved the best.
When We come to a place that my
women knew,
Where the tall palms crowd in the
temple square,
And a rose vine swings like pen
dant flame
Let me rest for a moment there!
Garry me forth as BELTS my state,
Slave-girls and futeplayers on be-
fore;
Just one day in the happy world,
Then turn in peace from my silent
door.
When / am come to the House Of the
Dead,
Promise me this--the Princess said.

IRIDIUM LAMP FILAMENTs.
A Resort to. Them in the EHort to
Find a Satisfactory Substitute
For Carbon.

The objection to carbon flaments-
disintegration, fusing with strong
currents, and therefore waste OF en-
ergy through the necessary employ
ment Of weak ones-have led to many
attempts to construct a filament Of
greater efficiency and durability
In the infancy of incandescent
lighting experiments were made with
metals of the platinum group. Tnese
experiments have lately been resum-
ed the greatest hope Of success be-
inc placed on osmium. But osmium
is by no means unobjectionable. Like
carbon, it vaporizes at bright white
heat, and if air is present, as in an
imperfectly exhausted bulb, it forms
hyperrosmic acid which, even in a.
very small quantity, is exceedingly
Injurious to the lungs and the eyes,
Similar objections apply to ruthen-
ium. Iridium is the only member Of
the group which is neither vaporized
nor oxidized at white heat. Fused
iridium is free from osmium, ruthen-
ium, and palladium, which are Vapor-
lied during fusion.
Edison has recommended flaments
of iridium wire-but the metal is ex-
tremely brittle and cannot, according
to Guelcher of Charlottenburg, be
drawn into wire. With care it can be
rolled into strips 1872 inch thick, but
it is impossible to make such a strip
of either circular or uniform cross
section.
Guelcher has, however, succeeded
in producing round and uniform irl-
dunn filaments by mixing fine iridium
powder with vegetable glue, forcing
the paste through a perforated plate
by hydraulic pressure, drying the tla-
ments and heating them to whitenesS
in an oxy-hydrogen flame. The fila
ments thus produced have a bright
metallic Iustre, and though very hard
are flexible enough to be used in cleo
trio bulbs. They are said to be very
durable and economical of power.
Instead of the chemically-pure
metal, iridium powder as preclpitated
from solutions may be used. AS this
contains some oxide, the filaments,
before being heated, must be exposed
to the action of a stream of hydro
gen.
Without this precaution they would
explode on being heated. 1t should
be noted that the heating must be
done in an exposed flame, not in
covered crucible or a bed Of charcoal,
as the object is to effect complete
combustion of the adhesive and leave
nothing but pure iridium. the

Meanwhile the slow procession Of
fishing boats struggled by, and the
crowd watched them. Presently
steam tug neared the harbor's mouth,
towing some half-frozen tawny-sailed
smacks, two abreast. The smacks
waved this way and that, and the tug
looked like mother with troop of
overgrown daughters, a little inclined
to get out of hand.

The smacks came into full view

HALO what's up wi that there

A score Of eager, incredulous faces
craned and peered. 1t was true;
there hung the tell-tale flag, pregnant
signal of death and disaster. The
faces fell.

Every heart went out to Liz in her

gathered, eager to recognize Jem.
An ominous silence fell. Two men
were missing-Jem and the smack's
master. The rest of them stood there,
detected, crest-fallen little group.
A cry of agony broke from LIS
lips. Where's Jem?" she cried. Il
don't see my Jem."
Still that ominous silence. Liz
turned to Marthy with a desperate,
agonized gesture. The girl under
stood her at once. She took her
hand. The crowd pared, and the two
ran down the pier along the riverside
to tile ferry that led to denes and

scarce seeing where she went, her
breath coming in long, heart-breaking
sobs.
Down the rickety landing stage
they went, into the old boat, and over

steps on the other side of the river
and the road to the wharf where the
boats were moored.
