At the quarterly meeting OF the
board of directors of Augustana book
concern yesterday Z. w Olson, the
well known Swedish-American author
and poet of Chicago, was elected as
assistant Office editor of the book con-
Germ. Mr.. Olson has been in editorial
work for many years. having served
as editor in chief of Svenska Tribun-
ems Nyheter and Fosterlandet, two of
Chicago's leading Swedish weekly
papers. The official jubilee poem of
the Augustana synod was composed
by him and many considered it a mas
terpiece of its kind Being able to
handle the Swedish and English Ian
guages equally well, the Chicago au-
thor will prove a valuable addition to
the editorial department of the book
concern.
It was also decided to publish an
English Luther league hymnal for use
in the young peoples societies in the
synod. A committee was elected TO
compile songs for this book with in
structions to report at an early meet
ing Quarterly reports from the diff
ferent departments of the concern
were read, and they showed the Swed-
ish publishing house 10 be in flourish
ing condition. Work on the four
story addition is progressing rapidly.

given in Bridgeport in long time
took place yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Nathaniel W. Bishop, at
Park avenue and Park Place. About
800 guests many of them from out
of town were entertained.
The affair was really somewhat in
the nature of a 'thousewarming", for
the Bishop residence was recently re-
modelled and the guests expressed
their appreciation OF the artistic and
beautiful structure, exterior and inter
ior.
Mrs Bishop received in the drawing
room, which was banked with palms
and decorated with American beauty
roses. Assisting her In receiving
were Mrs. 1. DeVer Warner. 9frs. De-
Yer Warner, Mrs. H A Bishop, Mrs.
r. T. Bishop, Mrs. III. F. Greenman.

THE WONDERS OF A
PACK OF CARDS

Let us suppose that two thousand
millions Of human beings-each sup
piled with a pack Of cards-were to
attempt actually to produce every pos
sible arrangement Of the hfty-two
cards. 1t is further to be supposed
that they work ceaselessly, without
rest day or night, from years end to
years end, at the rate Of one new ar
rangement per second for each person
during a period Of one hundred thou
sand years One single thousand
takes us back to the remote days of
birth of Christ requires less than an
other Thousand. Only about three
thousand two hundred years have
elapsed since Moses led the Israelites
out of Egypt. Finally, period only
one-fifteenth of our hundred thousand
years takes us back a great way be-
vond the most remote fact of anthem
tic history.
The hypothesis from which we start
is therefore that a population one
quarter more than that which now
exists has spent it's whole time during
an interval more than fifty times the
duration of the Christian era in shut
fling cards at the rate OF one shuttle
per second or more than thirty-one
million shuffles per head IN each
year.
In view of such figures the reader
may we'll ask how many times the to-
tai number of arrangements will have
been produced by this vast amount of
sustained Though ill-directed) human
effort
The answer is, not once.
Mathematical calculation proves. in
fact. that the number of card ar
engagements produced under the con-
ditions assumed will only be a min
ute fraction of the total possible num-
ber-a fraction SO minute that it be-
comes necessary to devise another
order to give an idea of its minute
ness.
Let it therefore be further assumed
that the whole vast number of ar
rangements produced by the human
race as above is syTnbohzed by one
drop of water. Then how much water
would be required to symbolic the

But the number Of drops of water
in the Atlantic Ocean is not sufficient,
nor will it become sufficient even when
we add to the Atlantic Ocean the Pa
cific, and all the other oceans, seas,
lakes, and, indeed, all the rest of the
water on our globe. Nor would the
whole earth made, from center to sur
face, entirely of water, be sufficient;
nor would the whole sun, similarly
constituted. be sufficient. Incredible
though it may seem. to obtain vol
ume Of water containing a sufficient
number of drops, it is necessary to
imagine a globe Of water with diam
eter equal to seven thousand and
twenty-five millions of miles If the
center of such a globe Is taken at the
center of the sun, then Neptune, the
remotest planet in the solar. system
would be immersed therein to a depth
no less than seven hundred millions

of water would have diameter
about twenty-five per cent. greater

For my uncomfortable soul.
beyond this place of wrath and
tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace Of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.''
w. E. Henley.
The bringing in of tea broke off the
recital for a minute or two.
Evelyn poured out with firm hands
which did not shake. Vernon sat
adoring her, wondering at her beauty
and the things she said. The mind of
the younger girl was in a whirl, not
unlike that produced in her Aunt
Emma by the notion Of Jem's love
affairs. Evelyn had always seemed
immune, as one might say.
The silence between them as they
ate and drank, did not seem awkward
but a blessed thing, showing that they
were really friends Before long
Evelyn began to speak again.
'You see," she said, my mind was
fixed entirely upon what, to me, would
be the social, the practical, the ex-
ternal consequences, of doing what 1
called, and what all my set would
have called, an unconventional thing.
The Church would call it mortal sin,
to live with a man who had wife
living, though her wifehood was, and
for eleven years had been, merely
nominal. The Church-and incident
ally, the law too-would condemn
such a union as we proposed. I felt
furious with the stupidity, the cruelty,
of such an idea. A man in CeciPs
position was, I told myself, forced
openly to have a woman's compan-
ionship, though authority would wink
at any irregularities in his life. 1
felt quite certain, in my own mind,
JuSIl1l0Ql
in marrying, in deceiving the world,
and seeming to conform to rule. All
feared was the possible conse-
quences of detection.
For a month I lived in a curious
mixture of bliss and delirium. I was
so exquisitely happy that I used to
weep at the bare notion of it; but 1
was so restless that L dare not sit
down to do bit of needlework, for
fear of my own thoughts. We had
to be very, very careful, to avoid
arousing Miss Brett's suspicious, or
those of any one else. The secrecy
of our snatched movements, the rap
ture Of the letters we wrote, made of
life a kind of lovely, feverish dream
