Galley let his swing go and sway
across the space. Clute slipped down
on his swing to catch the count, and a
moment later Galley shot across the
space, let go of his swing to grasp
.Clute's hands, pirouette and catch the
swing again on its return. Just as he
reached the platform Grace shot past
him to do her leap. She landed back
on the platform presently.

ed as Galley sprang from the platform.
Il know he doesn't" agreed Galley
as he swung back and Grace jumped
out. She was back in a moment, and
a lesser important member of the
troupe did some single trapeze work
to rest the stars.
Lets fool papa and get married this
evening"" he suggested. "Pll be in
front of your boarding house at half
past 10, and I'll have it all arranged
with the minister"
Before he could get his answer the
girl shot past him, and he was gone
before she had returned. The next
few tricks kept them too busy to talk;
then came breathing space, and he
urged his cause.
He had to make good use Of his
time, for the act was drawing to q
close, and he could not delay trick
without throwing the entire routine
into confusion He believed an assent
trembled on her lips as he swung out,
but his heart sank as he swung back
to the perch and Grace shot past him.
This time she would not return to
the platform, but would stay on the
other side for the "somersault pass"
which concluded the act. For this
Barnard came over to his platform
and swung him out on the swing. while
Clute, from the other side, threw Grace
to her father as Galley turned a somer-
sault in the air and caught Clute's
hands the instant after she left him.
1t was a trick that brought the au-
dience to its feet the year before, and
Galley was proud of it, for it was his
own invention.
The swing was properly made, and
rs he threw the somersault he heard

word YES" but he knew what 1t
meant He had been accepted in mid
air and Grace would meet him that
evening. He made his dive to the net
and came up with his face wreathed
in smiles.
'Pretty CATCH" commented Clute,
swinging over the edge of the net and
dropping beside him.

Randall joyously. and he made off for
the dressing room, leaving Clute won

MusseIs of Philippine.

During August and September as
many as 1000 to 1900 sacks, each con-
tanning nearly 200 pounds of mussels,
are dispatched every Wednesday from
Philippine alone. Holland, Belgium
and France are the best customers of
the Philippine mussel farmers, but
quite number of the cherished shell
fish find their way across the channel
from the Dutch beds to the Britishers'
dinner table In Philippine mussels
form, one may say, the staple food of
the population. They are consumed in
every possible manner-stewed, fried
in soups, in gravies and with particular
relish alive.-A. Pitcairn-Knowles in

Venus Flower Basket.

If, when you are in Washington, you
will go into the 'children's room" at
the Smithsonian institution, you will
see one Of the most beautiful produc-
tons of the sea. So frail and artistic Is
its makeup that you feel sure that not
nature, but man, must have produced
an object of such delicate beauty. But
nature did do it and made it on the
bottom of the sea too. If you will go
down into the waters in the region Of
the Philippine Islands and dig around
in the mud, you might bring up a
spongy looking object that resembles
the white of an egg in its consistency.
1t looks like a flower basket and may
have hermit crab inside, for the crab
lives at the same depth and likes to
crawl into the basket. but he does not
find much hospitality awaiting him, for
the sponge closes over him and holds
him forever. This product of the sea
is called Venus flower basket, SO nam
ed because in it's finished state it might
we'll make a receptacle for the gar
lands of the goddess of beauty. This
is after it is cleaned and prepared fol-
sale, for it then looks as If it were
made Of fine spun glass, with its fla
ments spreading out from the bottom.
These are called "spicules" and serve
to anchor the animal to the bottom,
and so firmly does it hold on that 1t
takes good strong pull to bring it up.
The first Venus flower basket to be
cleaned and sold easily brought the
price of $3.50. Now, however, few
dollars will buy very beautiful one.

A Retreatinu Chin.

Nothing weakens face more than q
retreating chin. Unfortunately compar-
atively little can be done for it. 1t can
be remedied to a certain extent in
childhood by rubbing from the throat
up and out holding the head well up
during the process. Sometimes, too,
the trouble may be caused by the way
the jaws close on account of the posi-
ton of the teeth, and good dentist
may often be of help. Bandages worn
round the chin at night, so placed that
the lower jaw Is forced forward, will
sometimes remedy the defect slightly,
especially when begun on quite young
children

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.
What Great Britain Owes to Holland
and Pepper.

ana Pepper.
It is curious to remember that when
England's commercial greatness was
a-making her most serious rival was
Holland. But the enterprising Dutch
men ruined their chances by their
greediness. There was a popular little
couplet which ran:
In matters of commerce the fault Of the
Dutch
Is giving too little and asking too much.
The whole course Of English pre-
dominance abroad might have been
changed if the Dutch had not asked
too much"
In the closing years of the sixteenth
century they had a trade monopoly
with the East Indies, and they 'sput
up the price of pepper to such point
that the English consumer ''struck."
A meeting of London merchants
made one December afternoon deci-
sion the Importance Of which to Eng
land cannot be exaggerated. It was
nothing less than the resolution to
form a London East India company.
The petition of these merchants to
good Queen Bess was granted in a
royal charter of incorporation.
The company, founded at first to es-
tablish direct trade communication
with the east and lower the price of
pepper. soon took to itself larger pur-
poses. Fleets of merchant ships came
and went between England and India,
and from the quarrel about pepper the
corporation of merchants was des-
tined, through Give and it's "nabobs,"
to give England vast empire.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

FRIENDLY ANIMALS.
The Intimacy Between Them and Man
In Yellowstone Park.


In Yellowstone Park.
One Of the most pleasant features of
the drive through the Yellowstone Ma
tional park is the apparent intimacy be-
tween man and the animal and bird
life in the park. Thanks to the wise and
allowed within it's boundaries. ''The
result" says an English tourist, els
positively charming. Hundreds of little
chipmunks, with their gaudy striped
backs, scamper impudently about or
peer at the passing coach from the
roadside. The squirrel did not bolt for
the nearest tree. but nodded a well
come. All bird life treated us like
wise. Even the lordly eagle lowered
near, and the wild turkey stalked I'M
concernedly through IT,, rank grass.
We perceived doe and fawn graz
Ing by the road. Not until we were
within a few feet did they seek the
They simply moved aside. Here at
least mankind was regarded as
friend-one who could be trusted. The
only animal who ran away was
brown bear. He turned tail at the sight
of coaching party. Yet it was quite
common thing for bears to approach
close to the hotels at evening to feed
on the refuse thrown out. It was an
after dinner relaxation for the guests
to watch them feeding. They munched
and disputed the choicest morsels, for
the most part Indifferent to the COM
pany. Only when we became inquis-
tive and approached too near did they
retire, and these animals were perfect
ly free and unfettered in their move
ments. 1t may read like a fairy tale,
but it is solid fact"
