boratories" The letter in which .nese
lines occurred offered him such a po-
sition as in his modest self-distrust he
had never dreamed of before; the lines
themselves contained the promise OF
such vast facilities for carrying on his
favorite experiments as he could never
hope to command in his own little
study, with his own limited means;
and yet, there he now sat, doubling
whether he should accept or reject the
tempting honors and advantages that
were offered to him-doubting for his
sisters sake!
Mine months of the year in Paris,
he said to himself, sadly, land Rose is
to pass her married life at Lyons. Oh!
if l could clear my heart of its dread
on her account-if / could free my mind
of it's forebodings for her future-hoW
gladly | would answer this letter by
accepting the trust it offers me!'
He paused for few minutes and re-
fiected. The thoughts that were in him
marked their ominous course in the
growing paleness of his cheek, in the
dimness that stole over his eyes. IF
this cleaving distrust from which |
cannot free myself should be in very
truth the mute prophecy of evil to
come-to come, I know not when-if it
be so (Which God forbid, how soon she
may want friend, protector near al
hand, a ready refuge in the time of her
trouble. Where shall she then find pro-
lection or refuge? With that passionate
woman? With her husbands kindred
and friends?"
He shuddered as the thought crossed
his mind, and opening blank sheet OF
paper, dipped his pen in the ink. BE
all to her, Louis, that | have been" he
murmured to himself, repeating his
mothers last words, and beginning the
letter while he uttered them. 1t was
soon completed It expressed, in the
most respectful terms, his gratitude for
the offer made to him, and his inabil
ity to accept it, in consequence of do
mestic circumstances which it was
needless to explain. The letter was di
rected, sealed; it only remained for him
to place it in the post-bag lying near
at hand. At this last decisive act he
hesitated. He had told Lomaque, and
he had firmly believed himself, that he
had conquered all ambitions for his
sisters sake. He knew now, for the
first time, that he had only lulled them
to rest-he knew that the letter from
Paris had aroused them. His answer
was written, his hand was on the post
bag, and at that moment the whole
struggle had to be risked over again
risked when he was most unfit for it!
He was not a man under any ordinary
circumstances to procrastinate, but he
procrastinated now.
Might brings counsel; I will wait
till tomorrow" he said to himself, and
put the letter of refusal in his pocket,
and hastily quilted the laboratory.

DISPOSAL OF WASTE
Millions of Gallons of Grease and Refuse
to BE Saved.

Millions of Gallons of Grease and Refuse
to BE Saved.
In not few of our great cities the de-
velopment of industries and manufac-
lures has been accompanied by the seri-
GUS pollution of neighboring streams
The city of Providence, R. l., has for
this reason had under consideration for
the past five years the question of the
disposal of manufacturers waste. A
joint special committee was appointed
by the city council to look into the mat
ter and this committee has finally made
it's report, with the Introduction of
resolution directing the city solicitor
to apply to the general assembly at its
next session for the passage of such
legislation as will prohibit the pollu
ton of the rivers by emptying into
them any waste, grease, acids, dye
stuffs, sewage, ashes or other refuse or
waste substances, liquids or materials.
The committee is of the opinion that
the problem can be readily solved with
out serious inconvenience or great
financial outlay to the manufacturers
and without imposing additional bur-
den upon the taxpayers of the city.
When the committee was confronted
with the amount of material which is
daily thrown into the rivers it was
amazed 1t was found that 5000, 900
gallons of manufacturers refuse are
turned into these rivers daily, as well
as about $4,000 pounds of grease, and
the quantity of logwood, acids and other
substances that is emptied in it is far in
excess of what is generally supposed.
The consumption of raw wool in the
Olneyville manufacturing district is
from 100000 to 25,000,000 pounds a
year.
There is a loss of about so per cent
in the process of washing and prepar-
ing the wool for use in the mills. 1t is
the waste from this that forms the prin-
cipal annoying source of river pollution.
The fatty matters floating down the
stream lodge in the bed of the river
and, becoming decomposed, escape in
the form of gases, as shown by the bub-
bles upon the surface Of the water,
which cannot add to the health of the
community. With a plant of sufficient
size it would be possible to obtain the
entire amount Of grease secured from
the wool washings. There are in this
country several large mills recovering
from their wool-washing liquors
enough grease and other valuable mat
tiers to more than pay the cost of purifi'
cation.-EXchange

closed, the brother and sister kept 81
lence Our last night together at
homer that was the thought which
now filled the heart of each. Rose was
the first to speak. Hesitating little,
as she approached her brother, she said
to him anxiously:
81 am sorry for what happened with
Madame Danville, Louis. Does it make
you think the worse of Charles?"
II can make allowance for Madame
Danville's anger" returned Trudaine,
evasively, because she spoke from
honest conviction"
"Honestw echoed Rose, sadly; hon
est?-ah, Louis! I know you are think
ing disparagingly of Charles convic-
tons when you speak so of his moth
er's.'
Trudaine smiled and shook his head,
but she took no notice of the gesture
of denial-only stood looking earnest
ly and wistfully into his face. Her
eyes began to fill; she suddenly threw
her arms round his necG, and whispered
to him, ooh, Louis Louis! how I wish
could teach you to see Charles with
my eyesv
He felt her tears on his cheek as she
spoke, and tried to reassure her.
you shall teach me, Rose-you shall
indeed. Come, come! we must keep up
our spirits, or how are you to look your
best tomorrow"
| He unclasped her arms, and led her
gently to a chair At the same mo-

and Roses maid appeared, anxious to
consult her mistress on some Of the
preparations for the wedding ceremony.
No interruption could have been more
welcome just at that time. 1t obliged
Rose to think of present trifles, and it
gave her brother an excuse for retir-
ing to his study.
He sat down by his desk, doubling
and heavy-hearted, and placed the let
ter from the Academy of Sciences open
before him.
Passing over all the complimentary
expressions which it contained, his eye
rested only on these lines at the end:
During the first three years of your

reside in or near Paris nine months out

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children we'll dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of u
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
in q strong and healthy condition.

hand with his easy, graceful air;

the least cause. My mother has but that

He bent down and whispered to her
a bridegroom compliments, which
brought the blood back to her cheek in
an instant.
"Ah! how she loves him-how dear
ly she loves him." thought her brother,
watching her from his solitary corner
of the room, and seeing the smile that
frightened her blushing face when
Danville kissed her hand at parting.

A BooTBLAck COMPOSER.
He Dedicates a March to PhiIadeI
phia's Mayor.


''His Honor, the Mayor" is the title
of new march written by Frank, the
Italian bootblack in the Philadelphia
city hall, and dedicated to Mayor Rey-
burn.
Frank intends to whistle it for him
while the mayor is on his way to his
office. 1t is said that the tune is some
thing like "Hark Hank! the Dogs Do
Bark"
Those who have heard the march
say that it is a splendid compilation
of themes-a sort of tone poem of the
Reyburn administration to date The
only criticism of it is that the tempo
of the opening bars, which are in the
major key, is little too swift for the
mayors pace.
Getting back into the major key
after some minors once more, the
march closes with an adaptation of
the celebrated Laughing Song" the
words of which are:
Oh, could not keep from laughing,
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Gov Morrill, on Prohibition.

Governor Morrill, of Kansas says he
has come to the conclusion that pro-
hibition is not the best system for
making people temperate, and he does
not think that prohibition ever will
prohibit. But he is not opposed to pro-
hibition. He says it has done great
work for temperance in Kansas, but it
doesn't prohibit. He thinks State con-
troll of the liquor traffic would settle
the problem and abolish the saloon. So
long as people want liquor they will get
it in some way, he says, and he believes
the temperance people could accomplish
more by moral suasion and cooperation
with the State than through prohibit
ton.
