CHAPTER ~.

The Pool and the Water sprIte.
Long after the others in the camp
had sunk into the profound slumber
of weary bodies and good consciences.
a solitary candle in the small tent oc-
cupied by Enid Maitland alone gave
evidence that she was busy over the
letters which Kirkby had handed to
her.

The packet was not bulky, the let

any great length. She could easily
carry them on her person and In
some strange and r1explicable way
she was rather glad to have them.
She could not. as she had said, see
any personal application to herself in
them, and yet in some way she did
feel that the solution OF the mystery
would be hers some day. Especially
did she think this on account OF the
strange but quiet open emphasis OF

ASaIid Gold.n

Commercially speaking. the term "solid gold" is misnomer, since such gold has not been used for many, many years. Some of the ancient Roman 1ewelry and some of that of the ren. aissance period was, indeed. made of pure gold, worked up by hand with the erudest of tools, but since the old day there has been a constantly increasing employment Of alloys, for the reason that jewellers found that the harder the gold was rendered by good alloys the greater Its wearing qualities and the more secure, therefore, was the setting of the gems it contained. Nowadays jewelry Is of IS, 14 or 10 carats, &C., cording to the design and character of the article, and it is much more ire Quently 10 than IS carats.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Earthquakes.

Earthquakes generally do their work with great rapidity, but there are ex- captions. While Caracas and Lisbon were destroyed in a few minutes, the Calabrian earthquakes beginning fin 17S3 lasted four years. Earthquakes travel across the earth at velocities varying between several hundred and several thousand feet a second, the greater the intensity of the shock the greater being the velocity. The sea waves that frequently accompany earthquakes also travel at tremendous speeds. A submarine earthquake near the coast of Japan in 1854 gave rise to sea waves which traversed the whole breadth of the Pacific at the rate of 370 miles an hour. At Simoda, Japan. the waves from this earthquake were thirty feet high. At San Diego, Cal. they were only six inches high.

Flank Qteakm.

The flank contains broad, flat mus cle known as the flank steak, which Is a very desirable piece of meat if taken from a well fattened animal. There is no waste to 1t whatsoever. It is coarse in fiber, but very rich in flavor, and, If carefully y'prepared, is very choice cut. In thin cattle the flank steak Is not usually removed, the flesh being made into rolled roasts or sold for stews. A rolled roast of the hind flank is one of the most economical cuts in the whole animal. It is good to eat, is cheap and contains no bone.-National Provi- sioner.

The EmpOror,s Favorite Hon.

1t may be interesting to owners Of chicken farms to know that a genuine enthusiast in the pastime of poultry raising lived and f1ourished as far back as the year 40 A. D., when Alaric the Goth was busying himself about the sack of Rome. The Rev. pr. George Hodges Saints and Heroes" is the authority for the story.
 Only the Roman emperor seemed un- moved by this tremendous calamity. He was in q safe retreat at Ravenna when the news came. It is remember ed of HOnOrius that there were only two matters ill which he was ever known to show interest. One was the safety of his own imperial person; the other was the raising of hens, in which he was very successful. His favorite hen was named Rome
 ''Your majesty, Rome has perished" they came crying.
 Why" he said, "only an hour ago she was feeding out of my hand"
 And when they told him that it was the capital of the world which had been destroyed he was much relieved.

The Gloaming.

The "gloaming' is by origin akin to gloom. The root idea is to look covert ly from beneath the brows not with full open eyes, and so the gloaming Is that time of day when the sun, sinking below the horizon, shines obscurely under the advancing shades of night. as eyes may gleam dimly from lower ing brows.
 Byron, the poet, wrote, As gloam- ing, the Scottish word for twilight, has been recommended by many literary men and particularly by pr. Moore in his letters to Burns, have ventured to use 1t on account of its harmony"
 The evening star is called the "gloam- ing" star in Scotland, and Lowell's ''The snow had begun in the gloam- ing" and Hogg's "'Twixt the gloaming and the mirk, when the kye come hame," are familiar instances of its use.
