it was only the. sound of a weak voice
above and a deeper voice trying to answer
soothingly.
While the two women had talked the
afternoon bad waned. The rain seemed

of them. were closing drowsily. The
shadows were deepening The light green

heart and woke her. .
"Where's the baby?" she whispered.
"Why don't they. bring the baby to me?”
She was living over again her only sick-
ness. She fancied herself young once

great happiness.
The years between had vanished. They
were happy years. too.‘ happier than most
people enjoy. for her desires had been
easily gratified. her ambitions were of the

The women down stairs listened foi|

summons came. .
Night and darkness fell in the garden

Where Bank Notes Are Printed.
The president of a large bank note com-
pany in this city recently said to the
writer that it was absolutely impossible
for any of his subordinates to steal any-
thing without being detected at once.
Every imaginable safeguard is used to
prevent the company’s suffering through
the dishonesty of its employee. In print-
ing bank notes, or stamps, or bonds, or
tickets the paper to be used is carefully
measured beforehand by one of the higher
ofiiciuls. Only enough to make the num-
ber ordered is given to the workmen, and
they are held responsible for it thereafter.
If a single stamp or ticket is lost the doors
are locked and nobody is allowed to leave
the workshop until it is found or satis-
With bunk‘notes and bonds extra pre-
cautions are used, and they are counted
after going through each process. If a
mistake occurs all have to be done over,
and the first batch is destroyed. If ‘one
'is lost and cannot be recovered all are de-
stroyed, and a new series printed in en-
tirely different colors.
An instance of this kind occurred sev-
eral years ago. A bank note company in
this cityprintcd some bonds on contract
for the Virginia government. One pack-
age was “Olen while they were being ‘foraconvslesilent? Well, you know, the

none of them had been signed, and they
were therefore not valid; but all the rest

different colors were ordered—New York

Restaurants In Congo Land.
I know no people who get oysters from
trees but the Mandingoes, through whose
country flow the Senegal and Gambia
rivers. The bivalves are taken from the
branches. to which they attach themselves
in high tide. Here is a Mandingo bill of
fare which Reade, the explorer, leaves on
record for the amusement of the curious:
“Then followed," he says, “gazelle cut-
‘lets a la pappillote; two small monkeys,
served cross legged and with liver . sauce
on toast; stewed iguana, which was much
admired; a dish of roasted crocodile’s,
eggs; some slices of smoked elephant
(from the interior); a few agreeable plates
of fried locusts, land crabs and other
crustacm; the breasts of mermaids, or
manatee, the grand bonne bouche of the
repast; some boiled alligator and some
hippotamus stakes.” While this dinner
does not equal in courses some of the
elaborate feasts of civilized lands, cer-
tainly no one will say it lacked variety.
Lotus seeds form one of the commonest
dishes known to the Barri of Central
Africa. The pods when gathered are
bored and strung on reeds and hung in
the sun for drying, after which they get
to the table. Along the Upper Nile
another wing of the Barri tribe bleed their
cattle monthly and cook the blood with
their flour and meal. They esteem this a;
luxury and the dish is eaten _with great
relish—New York Star.
Doves as Military Messengers.
It seems likely that carrier pigeons will
play an important part in the next great
European war. The French minister of
war has just given orders for the organi-
zation of the many carrier pigeon stations
throughout the country upon 11 more sat-
isfactory footing, and considerable im-
portance is attached to the perfecting of
these arrangements. In addition to fifteen
of these stations, there are in various
parts of France 300 pigeon flying societies,
owning among them 150,000.“homers.”
Each of these societies has a military or-‘
ganization, and in case of war all the
pigeons belonging to them would beat
the service of the intelligence depart-
ment.
Germany possesses about the _same
number of carrier pigeon stations, and
there are 350 societies,with 50,000 pigeons.
In Italy pigeons are actually in use for
conveying dispatches between the war
office in Rome and the gurrisons in Sicily
and Sardinia. Russia is too cold for the
carrier pigeons. The only birds which
bring tidings of battle in Russia are the
buzzards.-New York Star.
Moral Improvement of Prisoners.
The authorities of the California State
prison have introduced a novel device for
the moral improvement of prisoners "
through their stomachs. According to
The American Analyst convicts who be
have badly have ordinary fare. and those
who work diligently and give no trouble
to the wardens get the best of meals. As
might be expected, the plan works ad~
mirably. though It is expensive. The
road to the heart may be said to lead
through the stomach in penal as well as
in domestic concerns—New York Press.
' Salvation Army Charity.
A most admirable charity is that of the
Salvation Army in London. which has
opened a testament. where a meal may be
bought for a farthing The small coin

bread and two farthings secures a cup of
coffee or cocoa and a slice of bread and jam

Definition of Male Beauty. .
To call a man charming in face, or
lovely, or beautiful, or pretty, Is to mini-
mize—almost to insult him. A man can
only be called handsome, and very, very.
few men can be called that.
A handsome man must be manly in
figure, conveying the idea of strength and
energy under the most reposeful exterior.
He must have the shapely hands, feet and
ears that tell of good blood and cultivated
progenitors; he must have his head well
shaped, well set and well carried; he
must have a deep, broad chest and a
straight back, and long shapely limbs;
his features must be regularly formed,
and yet full of expression, and the kingly
power that great sculptors try to give to
Jupiter.
Coloring does not much matter, so that
there be no red upon the cheeks, and not
too much in the lips, and, perhaps, the
mezzo tints lend themselves most satis-
fuctorlly to manly beauty, but, above all,
the handsome man must never be stout.
The heavy throat which overflows the
shirt collar never carries with it an air of
refinement, whatever it may do of
strength. A bionde mun runs the risk of
weakness and insipidlty, and a black-
board man is handsome, even though he
be a trifle melodramatic, but still golden
haired and black haired men have been
very attractive the world over.
Of course below this grand climacteric
in the thoroughly handsome man there
are ranks after ranks of good looking,
attractive, pleasant faced men—some
upon whom one loves to look and find
sweet content in contemplating faces and
forms for from faultless, and yet quite
satisfactory. And here we come upon
one of the most strange and almost cruel .
conditions of our being. A man may or
may not be handsome, he ‘may or may
not have any physical attractiveness what-
ever, but nobody likes him the less for the
deficiency, he never finds it a barrier in
his career, a source of failure in his life;
women love him and menupprove of him
just as- [readily ‘98" if he: is handsome; in
fact, the wdman-or' women who love him
set him doom as handsome in serene de-
fiance of the rules of beauty or the opin~
ion of the world—Mrs. Frank Leslie.
A Natural Lamp.
The light of the fireflies of tropical
America seems to be dependent upon the
will, as when feeding or asleep it is not
seen, attaining its greatest brilliancy dur-
ing activity and flight. The color of the
light is rich green, but the eggspmit a
light of a bluish tint-according to Dubois.
This naturalist has made extremely inter—
esting experiments with the pyrophorus.
The eggs which be dried retained their
luminosity for a week, the light reappear-
ing when they were placed in water. ‘ He
ground the luminosity organs in a mortar,
after having dried them in a vacuum,
and then mixed them in boiled water, the
latter immediately becoming luminous.
Dr. Dubois concluded that the light of
the pyrophorus is intended 'as' illumina-
tion for itself alone. To prove this he
covered one of the upper lights with wax
and the animal movad in a curve; when
both spots were covered the beetle soon
stopped and then moved in an uncertain
manner, carefully feeling the groun'd with
his antenna. The spectrum of the light
was extremely beautiful, being continlr
ous, without dark or brilliant rays.—

Topics of Conversation.
More than six months ago an English
magazine offered a prize of three guineas
for the most original and suitable topics
of conversation on the four occasions of a
morning call, before dinner, in the draw-
ing room, during dinner (in the dining
room) and in the train. Either this three
guinea prize was no temptation to in-
ventive cmwersationslists, or else the task
proves to be impossible, for I believe the
project has fallen through, and we :must
go on without the discovery of a royal
road to brilliant talk. IVhat a blessing a
few sparkling suggestions would be to
those of us who only can bernte the
weather when the supply of gossip falls

everything, the demand for appropriate
topics of conversation really ought to be
furnished regardless of expense. The
trouble with the editor of this magazine
in quest-inn was, not that he didn’t mean
well, but that he didn’t make his prize
worth the trying for. Three guineasi

Virtue in Onions, and Beef.
What is the most strengthening food
beef tea. theory has been exploded. The
most life giving and digestible food that
can be given to one just recovering from
an illness is chopped beef. Just take a
pound of the finest round of raw beef. cut
oil all the fat, slice two onions. and add
pepper and salt. Then chop the onions
and meat together, turning them over and
over until both are reduced almost to a
pulp. Then spread on slices of rye bread
-und eat as sandwiches. People talk about
celery being a nervine, but let me tell you -
that there is nothing which quiets the
nerves without bad results like onions.
The use of them induces sleep, and much
strength is obtained from them. That is
my ideal food for those convalescing or
for any one who is in a weak state of
health—Kansas City Star.
Snow Drifts to Talk About.
“Those fifty foot snow drifts down
cast,” remarked an old resident after
reading the dispatches from Pennsylvania
“are pretty tall for the country, but
they are ordinary and trifling compared
with those of the early days. Back in
1854-5. when Omaha was only the land-
ing of a ferryboat. we had a winter.
There weren't any drifts. but solid snow.
It filled the valley from the Iowa bluffs

THE MINQ-‘rsEL's LOVE.
The Minstrel Ivandered by the mountain stream,
And through the leafygrove:
He tuned his lute and sang. and lo! his theme
Was all of love.
The birds sang gayly all the summer day
Amid the boughs above;
The Minstrel heard. and answered to their lay,
. ”I‘wns all of love. ,v
He met the maid that most he long‘d to meet,
As she at eve did rove; ,
He greeted her as merest friends might greet,
No word of love!
To birds and stream his inmost heart he hears,
~ And might their pity move
For his sad lot: to her alone he dares
Not speak of love
Ah. cruel maid. canst than not read his eyes?
Gaunt thou not read his heart?
Censt then not see that with a smile he tries
To hide its smart?
Go ask the little birds of what he sang;
Go ask each forest tree.
What was the theme to which Its branches rung.
