A LESSON T0 LOVERS.
“I think from all I have read and heard,”
said young Dr. Newberry, “the great bane
of the h’ap‘pinu; of lovers, whether engaged
or married, is a lack of perfect franknem and
confidence between them. Should anything
arise to excite doubt in the mind of either
puty, an explanation should be at once
sought-and given, and thus frequently much
trouble and unhappiness may be avoided.”
"I perfectly agree with you,” responded
Josie Chase, looking up brightly. “And so
there will never be any danger of our mis-
understanding each other, will there?”
“I hope not, darling,” he replied.
And then there was some little ecstatic
demonstration, such as youthful lovers are
privileged to indulge in when alone.
They had been but three days engaged, and
had known each other not quite three months
-—only since the young doctor had come to
Woodleigh to commence practice.
Josie was the belle of the town, and it had
not been without a struggle that the young
doctor had won her in the face of richer and,
as “some people considered, more desirable
suitors
She was very pretty and clever, and full of
.warm hearted and generous impulses. and
also, if the doctor’s landlady was to be cred-
ited, somewhat fond of having her own way.
“Seeing she’s an only child,” said .Mrs.
Larrimer, who had five grown daughters of
her own, “she’s well nigh spoiled to death.
Her me lets her bave her own way, and
though her pa sometimes worries about her
odd doings, she generally manages to bring
him around in the en ”
"She’s such a dirt!” said Miss Blossom Lar-
rimer, who, though the eldest of ' the cluster
of five sisters, still languished ungathered
upon the parent. stem. “Why, Icouldn’t tell
the man she needed on to propose and then
discarded. It’s dreadfully heartless and
cruel!" she added, with a sympathetic sigh.
“Oh, you had better leave the doctor to find
out all that for himself l” giggled Miss Gay,
the youngest of the five. “Only, doctor, you
mum’t blame us for lett' lyou be caught in
a mantrap. We’ve warn you. He, hel"
"The last one.” saiers Larrimer, sol-
emnly, “was that wild young fellow, Jack
Amplsy, whom they-tamed out of Rnttlepan
* college for whitean the president’s
horse and other lawless doings. He used to
visit Min Jwepbine while he was here at the
college, about two years ago, and justbefore
you came to Woodleigh he was back again

folks. thought it would be a match, but her
pa interfered and sent him 01!. I ‘must say
she changes mighty easy from one to an-
other. I’d be sorry to have 'one of my girls

These accounts at first set the doctor to
thinking a little, but he was not to be fright-
ened from his wooing, and in his happiness;
' eo‘enaccepted lover he forgot all the warm
lugs and croakings of this Larrimer family.
He knew that his Josie was a little coquet-

the plan, made no motion or attempt to op-

the windows closed, as though its life and '
light had forever departed. :‘

He walked slowly up-the'front steps to the

it in his heart to enter the house where her
1 presence was no longer, and it was with an
effort that he gave the bell knob a pull
= which seemed like the wrenchings of his own
heart strings.
The door was instantly opened, and, turn-
ing, he beheld Josie standing 'sullenly before
him.
“I have been expecting you for more than
an hour,” she said. “But," catching a sight
of his pale and startled face, “what is the:
“No; but I—I don’t understand. I did not
expect to see you. I thought you had gone
away.”
‘ ‘Gone away?"
“Yes—with Jack Ripley,” he said sternly..
And Josie, to his surprise, broke into a
laugh. ,
Then, changing,-sbe suddenly became very
grave and dignified.

Be Visits Niagara Falls and Tries to Be-
form the Bachnen. - -
I was down near the lower railroad bridge
at Niagara Falls, having a couple of boys
with me, when :1 backman drove up and
ofiered to take us down and show us the
whirlpool, a mile below, and return to the
bridge for half a. dollar each. When the
offer was declined he said he would take the
three of us for a dollar, and we got up into
his carriage. He drove down to the Whirl-
pool house, and as we got out I saw a sign
reading, “Fifty cents to go down to the
whirlpool.”
.: “Youagreed tobring us down and show
us the whirlpool,” I said to the back-man.
“Well, it’s down those stairs.”
tish-—a little vain it might be—as what pretty
woman is not? But that she was either ,
heartless or fickle he would not believe.
And it was not until further confidential
revelations from the indefatigable Mrs. Lar-
rimer that an'uneasy feeling of doubt and :
perplexity began to take possession of his I
mind. 3

was a warm moonlight summer night; the

opened upon the pretty garden, and through
which came a soft, refreshing breeze, laden .
with the perfume of roses.
In fact, just beneath this window was

“You either pay or I‘ll make jelly of you.”
“Come and try it” - -
He did not accept the invitation, but drove
off up town, and a stranger said to me:

“You can kick against the gang.”
“Yes, but we’d get the worst of it. They
are a. bad lot. You’d better send the iellow

“I’ll be hanged if I do.”
As we started up the river on foot a. dozen
men follot'ved to see the fun. When we
reached the end of the street car track a
mob of fourteen hackmen received us. The
one who had lied to us demanded his dollar.
I refused to pay it. He called to his mob to
come on, and I backed up to the building,
leveled a revolver at the crowd and waited.
They didn’t come on worth a cent. They
didn’t care for dollars just then. One by one
they slunk away, while I took the car back
to the Falls. The leader tried to get me ur-
rested for carrying a deadly weapon, but no
one would issue a warrant. One justice told
him in my hearing:
“Every man coming to visit the Falls
ought to come with two revolvers, and the
oftener he fires into your crowd the better it
what Josie called her rose arbor—a trellis ,
covered witha running rose bush, where
only last night he had sat with her in the
moonlight and talked over their plans for '
future happinem. .
Behad noticedat the time that she ap~
peered a little absent and disinclined to talk.
Could it have been on account of this visit
of Mr. Jack Ripley? And now, as the
thought occurred, he became aware of low- -
voices in the arbor. Before he could rise '
and move, awey these words, in J osie’s voice,
slightly ra'imd, camedistinctly tobisear:
‘.'I tell you, Jack, noione suspects us. But
you come tile often to the house. You must
keep away, and this must be your last visit
before”—
Her voice sank and the rest was inaudible.
But a reply came in a man’s tones—low and
tender and pleading.
“Youare sure that you will not fail me at
the lastethatI may trust implicitly to your
promise!" ,
'Tben 'more r'nurmurings; only broken sen-
tenses came to the ear of the unconsciously
spellbound listener.
5. .“What would the doctor say if he knew of
“gr, .1. , 1 .
“Why, I think he would not exactly ap-
prove," came in J osie’s- laughing voice; “but
solongas I amunmarried I havearight to
consult my on inclination. As to papa, he ,
will‘be angry with us, of course, but only i
for a time. You will see him with his ?
benevolent face glowing with a smile of i
satisfaction while he spreads out his dear l
pudgy hands and says: ‘Bless you. my chil-
dren.‘ ” ' ' .
And then they both-laughed.
Just then a servant's voice was heard: ,
' "Miss Josie! You are wanted in the parlor, i
miss.” 9
There was a sudden rustling of the roses as g
the girl sprang up.
“Remember, Jack, to-morrow evening at E
8 precisely. . Can you see the dress I have on l
—-brown 'over a striped undershirt? Well, it ,
will be this dress and a thick brown veil; .
And you must be standing exactly by that l
poplar tree I showed you. Good-by! You '
had better leave by the garden gate instead .
of going into the house.” ;
Then the doctor regained sufficient pres- 1
once of mind to move away and seat him- ;
self as far asrpomible from the open window. 3
Josie came in flushed, excited, and, despite ,
her evident effort to appear as usual, shy and I
constrained. ‘ l
The doctor did not remain long. He felt ‘-
too shocked and wounded to know what
course to pursue in this sudden .and unex-- ?
peeled state of things. 1
He would go home and think it over. And ;
the result of his thinking was that be con— '
eluded to say nothing to Josephine just now,
but to watch her movements the next even- 5
mg and find out something more definite by
which to shape his course.
. It was a little past 7 o’clock the next even-
ing when, watching from his office window,
he saw Josephine trip lightly down the steps
of her father’s house, attired in the brown
and striped dress, and a little hat, around ‘
which was tied a brown veil. ,
He saw her face before she pulled the folds -
of the veil close, and even caught her glance l
as she looked shyly over towards his office, i
as_ if fearful of being seen by him. Then she :
walked on very fast, while he followed at a‘ =
safe distance.
She went first to a house in which he knew
aslster of her father resided—Miss Almeria
Chase—a well to do maiden lady whose prink
and severe aspect he had never liked.
Here she remained about half an hour, then
reappeared, walking hurriedly as before and
taking her way, not homeward, but towards '
the suburbs of the town.
Entering a sort of lane or narrow road,
with a thick hedge on one side, she came in
Isigbtvof a poplar tree at a turn of the lane.

Americans have reduced kissing to its
minimum as a social feature compared to
any other nation except the English. The
English kiss less than we do, that is, their
women are. not so gushy in manner as ours,
and don’t kiss such a. big range of incidental
Ufemini'nc acquaintances, and their children
. . are kept 'more out of sight and so don’t get
-' kissed so much. But the- Foencb have one
advantage of us both that probably about
balances the fact that their men kiss occa-
sionally. They kiss the cheek habitually.
Here it is very funny to watch women about
the cheek business. You just notice the next
time you see a bevy of them meet. It is per-
fectly obvious to the meanest capacity that,
as a rule, they don’t want to kiss each other.
They all long ‘to get out of it, and each tries
to modify _tke discomfort of contact by
dubbing at the cheek of the other; but,
at the same time, there is such a general
feeling that turning- the cheek is a slight
that] nobody will do it, and the result is a
very clumsy nose bumping match. It is a
pity that it should not come to be understood
that it is not a slight, but a pretty social
form for one woman to turn to another first
one cheek and then the other to be kissed. It
would save them a great deal, for no one can
compute the amormt of sufiering women en-
dure kissing each other “because it is ex
one would think that their mar-
tyrdom would make them alive to the mis-
eries of their oflspring from the same cause,
but it doesn’t seem to. Why does any one
want to kiss a screaming, kicking, protesting, _ :. ‘
baby? Does anybody want to? Do' people
do it to flatter the mother? Well, if the
mother iswisesbe’d better have some plac-
ards hung on her darlings bearing the le-
gend, “Lips ofi’.”l Give the young ones a

Will Horses Ever Go Faster?
Profemor Brewer said, ina speech before :-
the National Academy of Sciences: The king
lish thoroughbred is a finished breed, and it = ..
has undoubtedly arrived at the summit of its
excellence. There has been practically no
new blood in this breed since 1760. This
breed has been finished and completed in two
senses: First, as to its grade, heredity, blood;
I and character; and secondly, as to its speed;
in which the limit has been undoubtedly
. reached. We have faSter horses than our
grandfathers, but it is not likely "that our
grandchildren will have a faster breed than
we have now.
In the case of trotters there has beena
steady increase of speed. The fastest record
is 2:08%. Less than a dozen horses have ever ' " "
trotted in less than 2:14. . ,
The best record in running was made in '
Louisville, the time being 1:39%.
The-speaker showed a table on which were
the number of horses in the last few years
1 which had made a record within five seconds
of this time.
The nearestthat any horse has come to this
‘ record is 1:40, which was done last year. A
very large number of horses have made their
record but once. There are many that have
,- made as fast time as those that have records,
; but in not winning the race they get no rec-
} 0rd. The record as it now stands may be
5 low'ered. , IWhen Isaid that speed had reached
, its maximum I didn’t think but what better
5 time would be made. I think about 1:39 will
- be the speed of runners. Hereafter breeders
will be expected to keep up this high standard
of excellence rather than . to making better

HOW I'SIIFFEIIED.
.‘leventeenfyears from a Sin Disease. Could
not walls or dress myself. A mussel“
disease from head to foot. Cured In
eight weeks by the Balloon Remedies.
At. the age of three months a rash (which after-
wards proved to be eczema or salt rheum) made its
appearance on my face. A physician was called.
he said teething was the cause; be prescribed some
cooling medicine. but the some spread to my cars
and head. A noihcr M. D. was called. lie profess-
cd to know all about the case. called it "King 3
Evil," and prescribed gunpowder- brimstonc and
him mixed into a salve: but the disease continued
1111- could not do anything with it. Another pre-
pcribed ,borax, water and flour; another, liniccd
bonlticee. .\ one of them did me any good at all
ant made me worse. The disease couiinucd un-
sbiiled; it. spread to my arms and lensJIll _l was
laid up entirely. and from continua y ti ling on
the floor on a pillow my limbs contracted so that I
lost all control of them, and was utterly helpless.
M y mother would have to lift me out and into bed.
i could get around the house on my hands and feet
but! could not «a my clothes on at all. and had to
wear a sort of rl’rcssiug gown. My hair had all
matted down or fallen off, and my head, face and
ears were onescab,andl has to' have a towel on
my has I all the time in the summer to keep the
flies ofi'. My parents consulted a prominent pliy-
siciun and surgeon hero in Chicago the other phy-
sicians before mentioned were *0 Dundee and
Hamilton.Cnnnda). He said he could do nothing
for me. He wanted to cut the sinews of my legs so
that i could walk; but i would not. let him. for if i
(lid get better I would have no, control of them.
The disease continued in this manner until I was
seventeen years old. and one day in January. 1819.
I read an account in the Trifmnemf yourCUricuRE
ltarrsm as. It described my case so exu-tily that
I thought as a la-t resort, to give them a trial.
When i first. applied them i was all raw and
bleedin . from scratching myself. but i went
asleep a most immediately, something i had not
done for years, the effect was so soothing.
In about two wccks i could stand straight, but
not walk. 1 was so weak, but my sores were nearly
well. As near as I can judge tluzCu’ricuu-a tum 1-.-

MY SHIPS. , i-
. scorn-name“
' l have ships that went to see.
More than fifty years ago;
None have yet come home to are.
But are sailing to and fro.
l have seen them in mysleep,
Plunging through the shot-elem deep.
, With tattered sails and battered hulls.
While arena, 11 themacreamed the gulls,
Flying low. flying low.
1 have wondered why they stayed
From me, sailing round the world,
And i said, “l’m halfafrald
That their. sails will ne‘er be furled."
Great the treasures that they hold,
Silks and plumes and bars of gold,
While the spices that they hear
Fill with fragrance all the air,
As they sell. as they sell.
Ab. each sailor in the port _
Knowstbet I have ships at see. I
or the winds and waves the sport. f
And the sailors pity me. , ,
fli‘t they come and with me walk. '
Cheering me with hopeful talk,
’l'ill i put my fearsaslde. _
And. contented, watch the tide
Rise and fall. rise and fall.
1 have waited on the piers,
Gazing for them down the bay.
Days and nights for many years,
Till i turned heart sick away.
But the pilots, when they land,
Stop and take me by the hand,
Saying. “Y9“ will. live to see
Your proud vessels come from sea
One and all, oneand all”:
So I never quite despair,
N or let hope encourage fail,
And some day, when skies are fair,
Up the bay myships will sell.
1 shall then buy all I need,
Prints to look at, books to read,
Horses, wines and works of art,
Everything—except a heart;
That is lost, that is lost:
Once, when l was pure and young,
Ricbe r, too, than I am now,
lire a cloud was o’er me filing
Or a wrinkle creased my brow,
There was one whose heart was mine;
But she is something now divine,
And, though come .my ships from sea,
They can bring no heart to me,
Evermore, evennore. ‘

A Scheme for Harbor Defense.
According to a report in; some of. the Phila-
delphia newspapers, a large company, backed
by millions of dollars, has proposed to the
secretary of the navy a striking and possibly
effective scheme for the defense of that bar,-
bor and the harbors of other cities from the
ignited petroleum at the unfriendly ships
from the bottom of theriver and burning
them up. The rear admiral hes been directed? -
to study closely the harbor of Philadelphia ..
and its approaches. The petroleum defense "
scheme, the originators of which have in-
duced the government to make this prelimin-
ary examination of the Philadelphia harbor,
is a brilliant one in more respects than one.
A company has been organized at Washing
ton to develop the plan and to show its prac-
ticability. _ _
It is proposed to sink perforated iron pipes
in the river bed and the approaches to the
harbor. through which. petroleum can be
forced to the surface of the river by machin-
ery and at a high We In this way a
fierce stream of. blazing oil can be sent down
on the enemy’s fleet to destroy it or drive it
away. It is claimed by the projectors that a
fiamecanbeproduced iuthisvtayashighas
a ship’s mast, and sent with terrific force on
the attacking vessels many miles from the
point where the oil is supplied to the system
of submerged pipes. Iron vessels could not
pass through this lake of fire. because it could
be made to extend many miles along the
liven—Scientific American.
No Queens or Kings. .
That creature around whom has been
worn such exaggerations of romance-the
gypsy queen—is but another creation of the
imagination. Despite all assertion to the
contrary, despite the fact that an imposing
funeral was accorded n dead Romany woman
—Matilda Stanley—at Dayton, 0., some
years ago and supposed by outsiders to be
“queen of the gypsies,” no American gypsy
acknowledges any such authority, either
titulary or in reality. The prevalent idea
held by outsiders that any among them is en-
titled to royal prerogative is a matter with
them for ridicule and laughter. Prominent
among Romany characteriktics is the desire
to mislead those not of their race in regard
to their methods of existence. They possess a.
keen enjoyment in the absurdities of others,
particularly if these absurdities are errors
about themselves. With them an interment
is a momentous event. It calls for all the
ceremonious pomp their means permit. It is
their opportunity for expression of devotion
to r. loved one gone-lost in the infinite space
of eternity. But queens and kings the gypsies
have none. in this country they do not even
acknowledge leaders, for the old Romany
character is disintegrating. , Each family
looks out for its own interests to its own best
advantage. —Cbicago Herald.

Fooled by the Moon. ,
The entire fire department of Americas,
Ga, was called out one evening to extinguish
the moon. It was just .6. o’clock in the even-
ing, when the usually paler lune came up be-
hind a bank of dark clouds and assumed an
unwonted rosy tinge. An, enthusiastic fire«
:man saw her glowingrefiection on the side of

partment and multitudes of excited citizens
ready to battle with the flames. ,On sizing

Removing Tattoo Marks.
Dr. Vuriot, of Paris, is reported to have
discovered a method by which tog-emove
tattoo marks from the human skin. Ithaa
been extensively tested andwith ,most en-
couraging results. His modusoperandi is to.
prick the marks or spots with needles until
the blood flows and then to inject tannin,
and finally to cauterize with nitrate of silver.
The wounds caused by the pricking become
black for a time, then turn red. and after a
month or so the parts which have been
treated are almost indistinguishable from the . '
adjoining fiesh.
