lily stepped up behind him and
touched him on the arm.
"You!" he exclaimed.
She was silent for a moment, gazing
into his handsome face, tormented
the while by the onward rush OF
mighty emotions.
Il have wanted to see you," she said
simply. "At last Fate is kind to me"
The words were almost choking her.
He tried to relieve the tension by
joking, but the usually glib tongue
failed him.
You are more beautiful than ever,
he said, surveying her with a cold
glance. And l sincerely hope that
you are happy" Now his words were
almost tender again.
"Happy-happy-," she faltered.
And you?"
The fates have been kind to me,

pause: Tomorrow is my wedding

The slender form trembled violent

with eyes full of appeal and subdued
passion. Then the sinuous strains of
the waltz reached her ears and played
soothingly on her nerves.
'One more kiss before we part,
he pleaded and nestled his arm
around her waist.
"A last kiss" she repeated, falter'
ingly. Their lips met, and he was
gone. For a moment she stood in
deep thought.
Then she drew the charm from her
bosom. pressed the spring and the

HARD TESTS FOR LOVERS.
Among SaVaees, Young Men Must
Prove Their Worth.

Duels OF various kinds, from the set
knives or bows and arrows, are still
undertaken in the interests of love in
sundry places of the earth. The Muras
fight with their fists, some of the Mex
lean tribes use the cold steel and at
least one North American tribe relies
upon bow and arrow. Among the
Arabs of upper Egypt the youth who
proposes for a girl must submit 10 a
whipping at the hands of all her male
relatives, and" says a dry narrator,
IF he wishes to be considered worth
having, he must receive the chastise-
ment, which is sometimes exceedingly
severe. with an expression of enjoy
ment." Not infrequently it is the
maiden herself who imposes the test.
The Sakalava girls Of Madagascar
make their lovers stand at short dis
lance from a clever spear thrower and
catch between the arm and side every
weapon thrown at him. If the youth
displays fear or fails to catch the
spear he is ANONYMOUSLY rejected, but
If there be no f1inching, and the
spears are caught, he is at once pro-
claimed an accepted lover" Worse
than this is the trial imposed upon
their suitors by Dungolowee girls.

merits of two rivals the young woman

Proof of Merit.

The proof of the merits of a plaster
is the cures it effects, and the volun-
tary testimonials of those who have
used Allcock's Plasters during the
past sixty years is unimpeachable
evidence OF their superiority and
should convince the most skeptical.
Self-praise is no recommendation, but
certificates from those who have used
them are.
Allcock's are the original and gen.
uine porous plasters and have never
been equaled by those who have
sought to trade upon their reputation
by making plasters with holes in
them. Avoid substitutes as you would
counterfeit money.

The Ethiopian Hawkshaw.

The Ethiopian method of detecting
crime is quick and effective and has
the great advantage of always catch
ing some one. A priest is called, and
by his exhortation, prayers, sorceries
and drugs-a youth is sent to sleep
with the command to dream. The per-
son he dreams of is the criminal. No
further proof is sought or needed. The
sanction of the church is quite enough.
If by chance the boy fails to dream he
is promptly put to sleep again by the
same process until he does, so that he
usually manages the affair in a short
time-PalI Mall Gazette

afterward he represented the plaintiff
in a damage suit for $4,000 in which
Brooklyn street railway company was

for the company was the conductor of
the car on which the accident occur

rule he had remarked years before, and
on cross examination he said:

up fares as soon as passengers enter
the car, doesn't it,"

Suppose q passenger boards your
car and then finds he is ona the wrong

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
Differing Views as to Its Advisable
ity.

- The Investigation of public ownership of
public utilities in Europe and this country
by the National Civic ,Federation's COM
mission has resulted in, two reports. one
by Prof. John r. Commons of Wisconsin
University, favorable to the proposition
and the other by j. w. Sullivan of the
Clothing Trades Bulletin. disappearing
Prof Commons says they found the pri-
vately owned utilities in England dividing
surplus for civic betterments because of
the prevailing tendency toward public
ownership and its example in cities where
1t had been adopted. Many have shrewdly
arranged cepartnership plans and have
recognized the labor unions. He Is con-
WINGED that the recognition of the unions
Is the safeguard against political corrup-
ton in public ownership, and that private
ownership offers no escape from politics.
Editor Sullivan says that In all but the
most poorly paid forms of labor public
ownership has not raised wages or i'm
proved conditions of work. He contends
that in England no street car business
has ever been private enterprise in the
sense that the word is used in this coun-
try thus making comparison with Ameri-
can conditions unfair. Taking Syracuse
Allegheny and Wheeling as the best sam
Piles of American NATURALIZATION offered,
they found conclusive evidence of political
rottenness in each case. He regards 1T as
"a project to restrict men in their activi-
ties by methods foreign to the American
genius "

Dogs Fear of Gun.

From the Outing Magazine.
Any dog can be cured of gun-shyness ii
you take enough trouble and exercise
enough patience. The process proceeds
on the inference that since he is alarmed
because of memory or fear of disagree
able circumstances, he must learn to as
sociate the gun with the agreeable.
1t is best to apply the treatment when
the dog is game. In probably four
cases out of five he will quickly learn
to disregard the gun. or like it. if you let
him hunt up the game and chase it, shoot
ing when he is at a distance and in hot
pursuit. Often gun-shyneSs disappears
the very day he makes his first solid
point and becomes deeply interested in the
business. In the midst of this new de-
light he disregards and forgots other mat
terS
Sometimes the fear is too strong, and a
regular treatment must be undertaken.
Oftener the owner will have short shoot
ing season and does not care to take
chances on quick cure. His dog must
be ready for business when the season
opens. So it is necessary to know the
systems which have been successful in
dealing with this trouble.

put his bird dog to chasing cats. When

Canine Sagacity.

the following evening the dog found its
way unaccompanied to the surgery, and
as soon as the door was opened jumped up
on the operating table and waited until
the veterinary surgeon could attend to 1t.
Mr. Stevenson examined It's ear, poured In

Accidental Inventions.
the Scientific American.


Gawalowski, in the Allgemeine Ingen-
ieur Zeitung, has an interesting article on
accidental inventions. in which he men
lions first that the monograph is due to
an accident; Edison having related that
one day when he sang in the mouthpiece
of a telephone the vibration caused the
fine metal point of the diaphragm to stick
in his finger. which led him to produce the
talking machine. This story is probably
not at all new to American readers but
perhaps the history of some other inven-
lions which took their rise in Europe
may be.
Natural indigo. which is among the dear
est dye-stuffs known, and has been used
since the twelfth century at least. has
been replaced very largely by the arti-
fetal product which is due to accident.
Sapper Is said to have discovered it. but
Gawalowski states that the invention has
been falsely ascribed to Adolf Won Baeyer
mot to be COMPOUNDED with Alexander
Bayern and Hermann, although Won Bae-
yer is always considered having been
the father of this most important dis
covery. Eosin also owes it's existence to
A. Won Baeyer, who was working at the
time in the technical high school in Mu-
chen. and discovered 1t by accident; in
this matter Caro- having been of assist
ance. The Lauth violet and methylene
blue were also products of accident: the
first being produced by Lauth. and the
second by Caro-. mentioned above. further
benzopurpurin is due to a laboratory assist
ant of Duisburg. Antipyrin and saccharin
are also the children Of accidental dis
covery, while in medicinal chemistry

discovered by accident by one of the en-
ployes in the Hochst works.
