just Little Reminder to the Son Who
May Have Forgotten.
But your mothers life has not been
easy. Your father was a poor man.
and from the day she married him she
stood by his side, fighting the wolf
from the door with her naked hands,
as q woman must fight.
She worked not the eight or ten hour
day Of the union. but the twenty-four
hour day of the poor wife and mother.
She cooked and cleaned and scrubbed
and patched and nursed from dawn un-
til bedtime and in the night, was up
and down getting drinks for thirsty
lips, covering restless little sleepers,
listening for croupy coughs.
She had time to listen to your stories
Of boyish fun and frolic and triumph.
She had time to say the things that
spurred your ambition on.
She never forgot to cook the little
dishes you liked
She did without the dress she need
ed that you might not be ashamed Of
your clothes before your fellows.
Remember this now while there is
yet time, while she is living. to pay
back to her in love and tenderness
some Of the debt you owe her. You
can never pay it all, but pay down
something on account this very night

EGGS FRIED ON ICE.
BY the Use Of Peculiar but Simple
Principle of Electricity.

BY the Use OF a Peculiar but Simple
Principle Of Electricity.
Frying eggs on ice is entirely feasible.
as was demonstrated at recent cleo
trical exhibition given by the Univer-
sity Of Illinois. The eggs were placed
in an ordinary frying pan, and the
frying pan was placed on a pile Of
cracked ice on a kitchen table. Eggs
were fried nicely. though it took longer
than when a stove is used. No wires
were in sight. The frying pan had no
taken up and replaced at will.
Under the table was the secret. an
electromagnetic Even with the secret
d1vulged, the trick was wonderful
enough, for between the frying pan
and the magnet was a pile Of ice and
the board table top. neither Of which
was affected excepting by the heat sent
down from the frying pan.
A peculiar but simple principle of
electricity was used An electromag-
net. as is generally known, is a horse
shoe shaped bar Of iron, with coils Of
wire wound round each arm Of the
horseshoe
When current of electricity is sent
through the coils Of wire the horseshoe
becomes magnet and will attract and
firmly grip any bit of iron placed near
the ends Of the arms or poles. This
applies to a direct current Of electric
ity. If, however, an alternating cur
rent of electricity is sent through the
coils any iron near the magnet poles
is heated by what are called Teddy
currents.''
In the egg frying trick the magnet
was placed under the table, and an
alternating current was sent through
the coils.-Saturday Evening Post.

CURIOUS FISHING.
Gathering In EeIs With Brushes and
Shrimping on Horseback.

Gathering In EeIs With Brushes and
Shrimping on Horseback.
In the Hawaiian Islands some Of the
native fishermen literally go into the
water and chase the fish into their
nets.
The sea round the shores Of the is
lands is studded with coral reefs, in
which are numerous holes and tiny
caves in which the fish hide The ma
t1ves row out over there reefs. taking
with them brush about three feet in
length. with very long bristles, and
shallow nets. somewhat resembling a
paper bag. as they are closed at one
end
AS they row over the surface, seeking
a likely spot. they chew a very oily
fruit known as the candle nut When
they consider they have reached good
fishing ground they spit out this nut,
which forms u thin film on the top Of
the water. over which the wind passes
without leaving ripple. This enables
them to see right down into the clear
sea: and if they are satisfied with the
outlook they prepare to fish.
Taking the brush in one hand and
the net. the mouth Of which is propped
open by means Of twig or two in the
other. they dive noiselessly and quietly
overheard. Having arrived at the face
Of the coral reef. they literally brush
the frightened fish out Of their dens,
endeavoring to catch them in the net
as they dart away.
There is one place at least on the
coast of Belgium where they go
shrimping on horseback. The trawling
nets are attached to the sides Of sad
dies carried by horses or big donkeys,
and on their back men. and women.

self exhibited the beautiful display Of
color shown in the original mother-of-
pearl surface. The color is not due to
pigment, but to the cancellation in part
of the light falling on the surface.
To understand this better it will be
we'll to explain a diffraction grating.
It consists Of piece of plate glass
upon which are engraved many paral-
lei lines. Rowland has been able to
scratch lines on a glass so that there
are 10000 to the inch and the distances
from one to the other do not vary by
one millionth of that distance in the
10000.
AS white light, or sunlight. consists
of every color known and as light
travels in waves, at certain places IT
light is coming from several different
| directions very close to one another
some of these waves will meet in what
are known as opposite phases and will
blot one another out, and the only re-
naming color will be the white.
1t can be easily seen what is meant
by opposing phases from a considera-
ton of waves on the seashore If the
top Of big wave meets a trough Of
another they cancel, and no wave at all
is the result. The same takes place in
light phenomena. Light consists Of an
ether wave, similar to wireless waves,
only much shorter, and If it's wave is
destroyed none Of that light can be
seen by the eye.

IL IL Done Risht Out In the Open, and

The best of the AIcazar is the Alca-
Ear gardens. But l would not ignore
the homelike charm OF the vast court
by which you enter from the street
outside to the palace beyond. 1t is
planted casually about with rather
shabby orange trees that children were
playing under and was decorated with
the weeks wash of the low, simple
dwellings which may be hired at a
rental moderate even for Seville. where
a handsome and commodious house in
a good quarter rents for $50 year.
One of those two story cottages, as
we should call them, in the antecourt
of the Alcazar had for the student Of
Spanish life the special advantage Of
lover close to a ground floor window
dropping tender nothings down through
the Stats of the shutter to some maiden
lurking within.
The nothings We're so tender that you
could not hear them drop, and, besides,
they were Spanish nothings, and it
would not have served any purpose for
the stranger to listen for them. Once
afterward we saw the national court
ship going on at another easement, but
that was at night, and here the pre-
cious first sight Of it was offered at 10
o'clock in the morning.
Nobody seemed to mind the lover
stationed outside the shutter with
which the iron bars forbade him the
closest contact, and it is only fair to
say that he minded nobody. He was
there when we went in and there when
we came out. and it appears that when
it is a question of lovemaking time is
no more an object in Spain than in the
United States. The scene would have
been better by moonlight, but you can
not always have it moonlight. and the
sun did very well: at least the lover
did not seem to miss the moon.-W. D.
