Here's a Good One.

A friend of mine told me of q curl
GUS experience. He was carefully
stalking big bull elephant in a large
herd, when they got his wind, and
big cow elephant charged him. He
jumped behind a large tree as the
elephant reached him, and, being I'M
able to stop herself in time, the ele-
plant drove her tusks with such force
into the tree that they snapped on
close to her head The elephant was
stunned for a moment, but luckily
turned and galloped after the fast re-
treating herd, leaving him the posses
sor of some so pounds of ivory, valued
at about $250.-Circle Magazine.

CHAPTER vII.-continued.

1t was very plain-to a deductive
reaSoner-from the girls attitude to-
ward him that she had fallen into re-
lations of uncommon friendliness with
this Maitland, young as Anisty be-
1ieved their acquaintance to be. There
had plainly been a iirtation-where-
In lay the explanation of Maitland's
forbearance; he had been fascinated
by the woman, had not hesitated to
take Anisty's name (even as Anisty
was then taking his) in order to pro-
long their intimacy.
So much the better. Turn about
was still fair play. Maitland had sown
as Anisty; the real Anisty would reap
the harvest. Pretty women interested
him deeply, though he saw little enough
OF them, partly through motives of
prudence, partly because of a refine
ment of taste; women of the class of
this conquest-by-proxy were out of
reach of the enemy of society That
is. under ordinary circumstances. This
one. on the contrary, was not; what
ever she was or had been, however
successful crackswoman she might
be, her cultivation and breeding were
as apparent as her beauty; and quite
as attractive.
A criminal is necessarily first a gam
bier, a votary of Chance; and the
blind goddess had always been very
kind to Mr.. Anisty- He felt that here
again she was favoring him. Maitland
he had eliminated from this girls life;
Maitland had failed to keep his en-
gagement, and SO would never again
be called upon to play the part of
burglar with her interest for incentive
and guerdon- Anisty himself could
take up where Maitland had left of.
Easily enough The difficulties were
insignificant; he had only to play up
to Maitland's standard for a while. to

New illuminating System.

A new system of illumination is of
fered by the discovery of Prof. B1au
of Germany, which is liquid illum-
mating gas to be delivered at the
houses of customers at regular periods
in much the same manner as coal oil
and other commodities are delivered at
the present time A 22-pound cy1in-
der of gas is sufficient to supply a
50-cendle power light for four months
If used four hours day The means
of connection between the burner and
the reservoir is through a fine tube
no thicker than an electric light wire
and Just as flexible.

The Earth and the Moon.

That the earth must shine on the
moon even as the moon shines on the
earth is obvious. To detect this light
from the earth on the lunar surface
and scientifically prove it's existence
is another matter. 1t is interesting to
find that recent number of a French
astronomical paper contains two pho
tographs Of parts of the moon illum-
mated by earth light. They were
taken by NJ. Quenisset at the Juvisy
observatory.

What Music Does for Us.

There is a certain member of con-
gress, lover of music, who had the
misfortune not long ago to encounter
an unresponsive listener in the per-
son of a colleague from a Missouri
town.
The music lover had been expatiat-
ing upon the beauties OF Puccini's
Madame Butterfly" which he had
just heard, when he observed his
friend to yawn.
The music lover was hurt. Look

TO CLEAN LACE

Black lace, unless very dusty and
eoiled. should not be washed, but well
shaken to remove the loose dust. II
should then be dipped In solution OF
deep blue gum water.
~, however. the lace Is dusty and
nrOwnish in color, II should be washed
IA a soap lather, then rfnsed and stin
aned in the deep blue water, to which
Kum water has been added. This re-
stores the black to it's original appear
Nnee.
Net is washed IN the same manner
ne common lace, and also stinened In
not water starch; but as net Is so
thin, Il does not take the stiffening
readily and must in consequence be
put into fairly thick starch. For thin
acts boiling water starch is used.
The net is dried, dampened, and
ironed on the wrong side. II must be
carefully ironed to the width. as 1t has
a great tendency to draw TO the length

be kept straight and even.-New York
