Carpet Sweeper Too Noisy.

A hardware dealer in town tells a
story about a prim old lady who
came into his store the other day to
purchase carpet sweeper. She
gazed here and there about the store
as she entered. and finally going up
to the dealer she looked at him quiz
zically over her glasses and asked,
do you keep carpet sweepers?"
"Yes, madam" replied the dealer,
and naming the two kinds which he
had in stock, asked which she de-
sired.
WELL" said the lady, you may
show me both kinds II you will"
Just moment, madam, until
get them from the rear of the store. "
And with that he went to an obscure
corner to take down the carpet sweep.
ers from their hooks upon the wall.
1t happened that in front of one
of the makes which he desired there
was a lawn mower so hung that he
had to move 1t. He took 1t down
from the hook, and as he did 80 1t
rolled along the floor with a grinding
rattle.
Before he had time to turn around
he heard the old lady shout from the
front of the store, That makes more
noise than my old one, and I don't
care to look at It," and SO saying she
whisked out of the door, leaving the
dealer to wonder whether the joke
was worth the loss of the sale. -

ROyQl Beliefs,

It is not only the ignorant and un-
learned who are superstitious, but
even such a practical person as the
German Emperor is apparently not
without a certain amount Of supersti-
ton. He has always been careful
that the ancestral cradle of the Ho-
henzollerns should be used for each
infant member of his family in sue
cession.
This cradle is over two centuries
old and is of curiously carved black
oak. 1t is supposed to protect the
baby who sleeps in 1t from convul-
sions and other childish ailments.
Italy has remarkable supersti-
tion. 1t Is believed that dire misfor-
tune will befall the present monarch
If the chamber of the dead King be
interfered with till at least two gener-
ations have passed. Therefore the
room of the late King Humbert at the
Quirinal Is shut, no one except men,
bers of the royal family being per-
mitted to enter it. Thus it will re-
main, silent and unused, like. the
apartment of King Victor Emmanuel,
King Humbert's father, which is just
as 1t was at the time of his death,
some thirty years ago.-Tit-B

Keep 1t secret from your mother; bur
later-later, perhaps-when Win Is
home again, you can tell her all about
It,"
Lena turned slowly toward him.
She was leaning back in the cab.
while he sat forward with his gloved
hands resting on the door. They
were passing down Oxford street, and
the smoothness of the pavement rem
dered it unnecessary for her to raise
her voice.
"When Win comes home!" she re-
peated, wonderingly. What has Win
to do with it,"
She was fully convinced that what
ever he might know, he could nc:
have guessed at her motive for join
ing the Brotherhood of Liberty That,
at all events, was never to be dis
closed. But Charlie Mistley had pro-
vided for this.
"The Baroness de Nantille," he
said, SIS Marie Bakovitch!"
She seemed to be slowly forcing
the realization of his words into her
own mind. At the first though 1t
appeared to be an impossibility; but
as she looked back at her acquaint-
anceship with the Baroness, the thing
seemed possible, and she felt that
there was no doubt about the truth
of her companions statement.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Brotherhood.

Lena's singing lesson the following
afternoon was interrupted by the ar
rival of Monsieur jacob. This gentle
man was accompanied by his friend,
Mr.. Ryan, a keen-eyed individual,
who was ever ready to espouse the
cause of the oppressed of every ma
tionality, provided there was money
to be made and little risk attaching.
Presently a feeble-minded English
lady of uncertain age arrived, and i'm
mediately behind her a mild-man-
nered German gentleman of short
sight and unkempt hair.
This was the first time Lena had
met the members of the Brotherhood
of Liberty, and she was divided be-
tween an inclination to laugh and a
desire to run away. But everybody
was desperately serious. Monsieur
jacob was sauve and gentlemanly as
usual, but not entirely at his ease
His hold over the Baroness de Nam
tile, as she was still called, had never
been very secure, and he instinctively
felt that 1t was slipping from him day
by day. However, the man was pos

BARRIER TO DIAMOND MAKING.
DissOlving Carbon in Liquid-Mclt.
ing 1t by Intense Heat.

Diamonds are the only gems con.
sisting of one and but one element
This apparent simplicity has not only
attracted artificial production but
has also been the insuperable barrier
which has hindered success. Arti-
| fetal diamonds certainly have been
made, but on such small scale that
they have been practically useless. .
BY the term artificial is not meant
glass or paste imitation, but the real
substance, so made by chemical art

cess.
In 1853 the method of Despretz
consisted of depositing carbon by the
disruptiye action of the electric
spark in large vacuum tube. The
carbon was deposited on platinum
wires and the deposit when viewed
under the microscope had certain re-
markable features.
At the ends of the wires some
points were seen which experts pro-
nounced to be octahedral crystals.
the form in which nature gives us
the diamond. In color they were
black and white. Tested upon hard
stones the substance polished a ruby.
AS diamond Is the only substance
that polshes ruby the deposit was
pronounced to be the powder of the
diamond.
Next came a diamond made by dis
solving carbon in liquid. Sugar or
salt dissolved in liquid leaves the
crystos of sugar or salt behind when
the liquid has evaporated. Similarly
If we could dissolve carbon either as
charcoal or lampblack and by the
evaporation of the liquid allow the
dissolved carbon to separate out it
would probably crystalize into the
lustrous form of a diamond.
Numerous experiments produced
crystalline mass, diamond, but in the
form of sand. Sir Andrew Noble has
secured a temperature Of $500 de-
grees centigrade. The temperature
melted carbon. On analyZing the
carbon minute diamonds were found
in it.-Chicago Tribune.

STONEWALL JACKSON'S DEATH.

olONEW w ALL JACkSONS 5 DEATH.
OF the accidents of the Civil War
period, perhaps the most striking was
the death of StoneWall Jackson at
Chancellorsville. With the consent
of Lee, Jackson with thirty thousand
men on May made rapid, stealthy,
Ranking march of fifteen miles round
the Union right in order to attack
the corps under Howard At 6 in the
evening, while Howard's men were
resting, preparing supper or playing
cards, all unconscious of danger,
sudden rush into camp of deer, rab-
bits and other wild animals apprised
them of the coming enemy. They
seized their arms and attempted to
form in battle line; but before they
succeeded the Confederates were up
on them. In an hour the corps was
cut to pieces and almost annihilated,
the survivors fleeing like madmen.
AS night fell the corps of Sickles and
the cavalry of Pleasanton planted
themselves in the way of the onrush-
ing Confederates and checked their
advance.
1t was then that Jackson, with a
portion of his staff, rode forward in
advance of his own lines to make a
reconnaissance. His party were mis-
taken for force of Federal calvary,
and received volley from the Con-
federate line of battle which dis
mounted several of them. Jackson,
thus far unhurt, turned into wood

all the remainder of the staff but two,
and severely wounded Jackson.
The wounded mans horse ran off
with him in the direction of the en-
emy, and the rider suffered a severe
blow in the face from low hanging
limb. The horse was caught, how
ever, by an aide, Jackson was lifted
from the saddle, and after great trou-
BILE was taken to hospital in the
rear. There his left arm was ampu-
tated, and he was later removed to
the home of a Mr.. Chandler near

set in, and on Sunday, May 10, to the
sorrow of all Confederates, he died.
Thus, through accident, the Con.

being wounded, but before his death,
Lee wrote to him, Gould | have di-
rected events, I should have chosen

the South would have triumphed If
Jackson had survived is too much to
assert; but unquestionably the his

"Then," said the Englishman.
"you have changed?"
Eyes, I have changed"
81 am sorry for it,"
"Why?"
Because" said Charlie, "it brings
you into contact with such men as
Monsieur Jacobi."
Marie Bakovitch looked up sharp
ly, but he avoided meeting her eyes,
what do you know of Monsieur
Jacobi?"
Charlie shrugged his broad shoul-
ders contemptuously.
Nothing, mademoiselle."
"But you hate him?"
"Well-scarcely. / have never had

1T is of Jacobi," continued the girl,
''that l have to tell. 1t is against
him that l must ask your help. Re-
member, do not ask it for myself
for do not fear him. 1t is for Lena

Marie Bakovitch looked up some
what suddenly. She met her COM
panion's eyes, calm, impassive, in
scrutable as usual, fixed upon her
face.
YES" he said; "go on"
"He is connected with several Sc
cret societies, political and other
wise. Notably the Brotherhood of
Liberty, of which he pretends to be
the London chief. For some months
he has been scheming to obtain
money from Lena Wright for the pur
pose of the Brotherhood.
Il thought money would come in
somewhere"
Eyes, all Jacobs plots are con-
nected with money sooner or later.
He heard from sources unknown to
me that she will be comparatively
rich some day, and he has been en-
deavoring to persuade her to borrow
this money. 1t is large sum-"
"You have not told me what hold
he has over her"
He has represented that the
Brotherhood has agencies and con-
nections all over the world, and by
these means he could with the aid
of certain sum of ready money OBJ

Eyes" said Charlie, gravely, Il un-
derstand. But how did he get to
know of this? He has surely had no
opportunity--"
He stood there motionless and
strong as ever man was created, but
there passed across his face a mo-
mentary twinge of real physical pain.
Suddenly he reused himself with an
effort, and said with practical, mat
ter-of-fact energy:
'Mademoiselle, we must waste no
time. l am deeply grateful-more
grateful than ever l can hope to eX-
press--for the confidence that you
have placed in me. You said just
now that jacob pretends to be the
London chief of this Brotherhood;
have you doubts about the truth of
his assertions?"
"Yes. l know that such a society
exists, and that it's headquarters are
in Rotterdam; but believe jacob
is no member of it. He has repre-
sented himself to be it's chief simply
for the purpose of obtaining money.
He has, in fact, deceived us all"

"TO-n0TTow afternoon in this
