But Taunton's eyes had lost, some
how, the look of perfect esntent; the
girls head was farther away from his
shoulder, and the swing had gone from
their step. They stopped by an open
window to let the fresh wind blow over
them. There came a sudden gust which
waited in a great dark butterfly that,
In the rays Of artificial light, seemed

beside him. She watched it with part

toward her out of the lightning streak
ed night, and neither moved until it
sank and settled on her light hair.
Then she threw up both arms and
brushed it off with heavy blow. The
creature of the night flew out into the
storm again with dropping wing.
An orderly crossed the hop-room to

wheeled about and followed the or

He was back again in ten minutes,
speaking hurriedly to Taunton. Taun-

turning away, crossed the room to
where Captain Rossini stood with his
daughter.
"Good-evening, captain" he said, and
waiting for no reply, put his hand on
Lucia's arm and drew her aside with
an air of proprietorship that left the
father aghast.
Lucia, listen, dear. I've hardly time

Grandma Dances.

family.

visitor.
NO." said the child; "she has gone
to dancing school"
"To-what?" exclaimed the visitor.
Dancing school," repeated the girl.
GRANDMOTHER has been taking dancing
lessons all winter"
"Merciful heavens!" gasped the Wis
itor.
Then, being a grandmother herself,
of the old fashioned type, she went
away dumb with amaZement. How
ever, upon inquiry she learned that
that particular grandmother was not
exceptionally giddy.
"Any number of elderly ladies' are
attending dancing school this winter"
said a teacher. Il have a large class
of grandmothers. They do not cOnfine
themselves to simple dances, ether,
but take up all kinds of fancy, difficult
steps. They do it to get limbered up

Bones.
In what is known as the clay test
in the Hof man-stopping bullet red
plastic clay was used during the re-
cent experiments at Springfield. Some
pine boxes, each about 22xS inches, in
terror measurement, were used by the
examining board, each box being filed
with red clay.
The boxes were fired into with the
Hof projectile. Some of the weapons
used were the Colt caliber 40, carrying
a lead bullet; some were self-loading
caliber at 40 and some of the bullets
were jacketed or sheathed with steel.
After the spluttering of clay displac-
ed by the fired projectile was over
liquid plaster of paris was poured in,
filling the cavity, and the mass was
allowed to cool, after which the cones
were uncased. Some Of the cones
were twenty-five inches long, some
about twelve inches, resembling red
icicles. Examination was then made
with a view to the recovery of the
propectile and note was made of its
condition.
When the Hof bullet is fired into wa.
ter or clay the round ball, which is
made of steel and anthony nodded
into the point of the bullet, invariably
becomes detached from the bullet prop
er.
In water or in soft clay this bullet
hollow-point man-stopping bullet. The
Hof bullet Is claimed to be equal to
the latter in accuracy, combining with
this accuracy man-stOpping effect. But
perhaps on humanitarian grounds a
non-detachable- compound bullet will be
urged.
The test of the Hof bullet should
properly be made into living flesh of
some animal. Sometimes these tests
are made, using cadavers obtained by
case the carcass Of semi-frozen beef
was laid horizontally and fired into,
using projectiles of lead or projectiles
jacketed or sheathed with cupro-nickel
steel, also by Hof's bullet.
The arms used were caliber 45. Per
haps half a dozen shots were fired for
the purpose Of inf1icting flesh wounds
only; others were fired carefully, aim
ing at the bones. The paths traversed
by the bullets were then carefully meas
ured and probed and the condition Of
the flesh and bones struck by the bull
let carefully noted and made of rec
ord.
When a bullet Of small caliber and
having great energy strikes the bone it
makes a hole through it that is clean
cut. When a bullet of caliber 10 strikes

stopping bullets strikes a large bone
it splits or fractures or pulverizes the
bones.-Boston Transcript.

was smiling and talking in her old
lively way. The second lieutenant re-
fected that she could not have been
much in love with Taunton after all
she seemed in nowise depressed by his
absence on an expedition which was not
quite safe, at beast. The second lieu
tenant gathered hopes, for there was a
lingering fondness for the pretty crea-
ture in his own heart.
So they talked and laughed and
watched guard-mounting in the sun
shine of the cool summer morning.
When 1t was over, and the adjutant,
and officer of the day, and ex-oficer of
the day were going their ways, there
came a sound of the hoofs of gallop-
ing horse, and a courier from the
agency drew up at the commandments

flew around her. She laughed and put
up her hands to seize them, hit at

QUEER KINDS OF SCHOOLS.
Cash Boys, Nursemaids, Policemen
and Gam oilers Graduated.

Cash Boys, Nursemaids, Policemen
and Gam oilers Graduated.
There are some very strange educa-
tional establishments open at the pres
ent day. A school for cash boys was
opened some time ago.
According to a prospectus, pupils,
who must not be under IA years of
age, are taught arithmetic in everyday
use, bookkeeping, penmanship and the
quick handling and counting Of money.
Many of the boys who have attended
the school are now earning good wages
as cashiers in some of the largest
stores in New York and Chicago.
1t is proposed to open in London a
school for nursemaids, where girls over
Is years of age may be given lessons
in the management of infants, prepar-
ing of children's food, plain sewing
and laundry work and the kindergar-
ten system of education.
Such an institution already exists In
Berlin. 1t was founded two years ago
by a clergyman and is in connection
with a founding hospital. The grow
ing girls of this establishment are
taught to become competent housemaids
and positions are found for them in
the houses of the best families in Ger
many.
Russia possesses a school for police
men, where young men are trained for
tho force. The school is situated in st.
cd
thereto the pupils make themselves ia
miliar with jimmies, drills, chisels and
other tools used by professional
thieves. A particular branch of the
school is the Russian passport system,
which every budding policeman has to
study in detail.
A remarkable educational establish
ment is the school for judges opened
recently in Paris. Here make-belieYe
trials are held by pupils under the
supervision of well-known attorneys.
The whole procedure, from the issuing
of a warrant for arrest to the summing
up and the judges verdict, is carried
through in business-like manner.
At Monte Carlo there is a school Of
croupiers. 1t is held during the six
summer months in the clubroOm Of the
Tir aux Pigeons and the Sale DIES
crime in the Casino building.
Here are tables similar to those in
the Casino gaming room and each pu-
pill in turn takes the role of croupier,
while others impersonate players and
stake money over the table. At given
instant the croupier must be ready to
calculate and pay out the winning
stakes.
There are usually between forty and
fifty pupils in this school and six
months course is generally sufficient
to turn them into finished croupiers.
A very odd educational establish
ment is the school for grave diggers in
Belgium. 1t was founded by the di-
rectors of the Great Evere cemetery
and all candidates for posts as sections
i'll Belgium must undergo training in
the school and pass an examination.
There are several schools Of house
wifery in England, the principal Of
which is connected with the National
Training School of Cookery in Lon
don. Every branch of household man
agement is taught at this school, the
keeping of accounts, the principles of
domestic sanitation and a certain
amount of sick training being included.
