Shooting Gallery Secret.

The beach was empty. The board
walk was dead. The shooting gallery
man was packing to go South for the
winter
do you see this glass ball?" he
said.
1t was ball of hollow glass, an
airy glass soap bubble, that had
swung all summer at the end of a
thread in the foreground of the clay
pipes, bells and whatnot that had
made up the gallery's targets.
This glass ball." the man went
on, lis my great money maker. All
summer long people tried to hit this
ball-it was bigger and nearer than
any other target-and everybody
failed. Thousands of bullets were
fired at the ball, thousands of nickels
were spent on it, yet here it is still
untouched, my best breadwinner.
All wise shooting gallery men
have a glass ball like this. 1t makes
such tempting target, yet it is never
hit. 1t is never hit because the air
that precedes a gun charge is sui,
lcient to blow the ball aside, out OF
the way. You might flre hundred
shots at it, but, like living thing,
like a timid soldier, for instance, IL
would dodge each shot. st. Louis

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Girl Charged With Arson.

Miss Eta Wearts, the alleged &C.
complete of Gus Wearts, her cousin.
who is charged with arson, was ar
rested at the home of her aunt, at
Stoutsburg. She was taken to Tren-
ton and locked up. Miss Wearts,
who is twenty years old, seems to be
feeble minded. She has made a
charge of assault against Wearts.
She says that she went to Trenton
with Wearts and his family, and they
all became intoxicated. Upon reach
ing home, about midnight, Wearts
threw a lighted lamp at his wife and
then fired the house, in which his and
five other families lived. That is her
story. Another is that one of the
children upset the lamp, and when
Mrs. Wearts attempted to throw it
out she was prevented by Miss
Wearts, and Wearts threw the other
lamps to the floor and kicked them
about the room The woman says
she and Wearts escaped to the plant
of the Union Boiler Company the
night of the fire, and that the next
day they fed to the woods, where
they stayed for several days and
nights.

Alcohol il bread.

There has been much discussion
about the quantity of alcohol con-
tanned in ordinary bread as the re.
suit of tho fermentation process to
which it is subjected before baking,
Evidently the quantity is small, but
until recently, it would appear, chem
lists have not succeeded in accurately
measuring it. Now, however, it is
announced that Dr. o. Pohl, by an
elaborate process based upon the dis.
tillation of the bread to be tested
in Papin digester, has ascertained
that ordinary bread normally con-
ltains 0.753 of gram of alcohol for
every 100 grams of bread, or a little
more than seven parts in 10000. II

was luckily for Miss Aldred that his
indignation supplied him with fine
flow of words, during which she was
able to collect her thoughts; or, in
her alarm-since concealment was
now out of the questionable might
have told him more than was neces-
sary.
II shouldn't complain" continued
her brother, "if Sophy had fallen in
love with some curled darling-suca
as one sees in the hairdresser's win
dows-but the man she is encourag-
ing is not only fool, but vicious
fool; perhaps even scamp, or a
scoundrel. OF course you noticed,
what everybody else noticed, last
evening how he drank her health in
public-conduct which nothing can
excuse in my eyes, however, eioneao
excuse, as the phrase goes, but drink.
1t is no excuse in my eyes, howeveE,
but rather an aggravation. More
over, it cannot be said that it was a
temporary exhibition. l hear, on the
best authority, that he went to the
ball in a state of liquor. That is why
l said that I was not sorry you did
not go. And / shall be still better
pleased to hear that the reason of
Sophy's. absence was the apprehen-
sion of meeting him, after what had
taken place at my rooms
II really and truly believe that it
was" answered Aunt Maria. II did
not mean to say anything about it
to you, because | promised Sophy not
to do so; but that is what, on the
whole, + gathered from her. l don't
think she has any such fancy for
him as she had; and if she is
ashamed of him, of course that is a
great point gained; only l entreat
you to be careful in what you say to
her. Opposition is the soil on which
this sort of love affair thrives best. !"
That's all very well in plays,
Maria; but in real life it does not do
to trust to girls having her eyes
opened to her lovers unworthiness
by his own misdoings. Upon one
thing I shall tell Sophy l have made
up my mind; Mr.. Perry never crosses
my threshold again."
The Intervention of Canon Aldred
in matters of his own house had the
rarity of miracle, but also the force.
His laws, when he did go in for law
making, we're as those of the Modes
and Persians; and Aunt Maria was
well aware that no pleading on her
part on behalf of Mr.. Herbert Perry
would eithSr defer or mitigate his
sentence of perpetual exile.
She bowed her head and pursed her
lips, the former in obedience to her
brothers ukase, the latter in silent
protest against it; took up her needle
work-a sign she was not coming
back in hurry-and left the room.
Unconscious of her aunt's step
upon the stairs, Sophy sits alone, with
a letter in her hand. 1t has just
reached her, but not by the post; for
she has other ways of communicating
with the outside world.

There is always a stage at which
convention cities begin to receive in
furious criticism. 1t has been so
since the Philadelphia Centennial of
1876, contends the New York Sun.
New Orleans, Chicago, Buffalo, st.
Louis and all the rest had the same
mud flung at them in turn, and it is
not wholly incredible that they all
deserved good deal of it. He must
be very optimistic and inexperi-
enced person who imagines that hui
man nature can be subjected to COM
plete occultation at the bidding of an
unselfish local pride. This noble
emotion is usually monopolized by
the monumental element of the
community, while those who have ac-
commodations to sell postpone their
patriotic altruism to another turn of
the wheel In this respect the his
tory of the jamestown exposition is a
mere abject imitation Of all preceadl
ing histories Of similar occurrence
and episodes.

The Canon Puts His Foot Down.

The Canon Puts His Foot Down.
my dear Maria, you were not at
the ball last night, hear said the
canon, as he entered the drawing
room where his sister was sitting
alone. Il can't say, under the cir
cumstances, / am sorry, except for
the cause. / hope your head is bet
ter"
THAT is what everybody is saying
this morning." smiled Miss Aldred, a
little uneasily. She didn't like that
expression, under the circum-
Stances beneath which she shrewd-
ly suspected lay some reference to
Mr.. Perry, concerning whom, as we
know, she had promised Sophy to
make no revelation. "Henny has
been here this morning to inquire
about it; and overheard her mother
to whom / was not at home, for
/ am tired to-day, and the converse
ton is a little trying asking Bar
cley 'How's her head?' as if it were
ship"
"Still, suppose you really had a
headache last Might since it prevent
ed you escorting SopAy to the ball
unless, indeed, it was merely an ex-
cuse and you had some more valid
reason"
''Well, / had headache, William.
think it was the cheering on the
river. But the fact is, Sophy her
self did not seem much inclined to go,
so we agreed to give it up"
Aunt Maria felt that this was not
a successful speech, but she was a
little alarmed at her brothers man
ner, as well as the guess she had
made at the actual condition of at
fairs. 1t was very unusual with him
to take interest in their domestic pro-
cesdings, or to question any arrange
ments she made for herself and
Sophy.
"And why did she not want to go?''
persisted the canon "She is gener-
ally fond enough of balls"
my dear brother, if you knew as
much of girls as do" Che did very
nearly, you would understand that
they are as full of their fancies as
you wise men are of your great
thoughts. The things they like to-
day they dislike tomorrow, and for
the same reason that made little
Stevie, next door, throw all his toys
into the dust hole-because he was
tired of them"
"Then / hope Sophy is tired of hel
rag dog, Mr.. Herbert Perry. and
doesn't want to play with him any
more"

any one, but from those of the canon
