Beatrice 3organ had no mother and
her old father was an invalid Spring
wildflowera had scarceij given place to
the June ro e when Jtr 31organ sickened
and died The daj of his funeral was
the one fixed for Tom and Kates wed
dio and instead of acting the pleasint
Krt of bridesmaid fcr her friend poor
ir knelt fobbing by her fathers rrarr
Change followed change It was im-
possible for a joung girl to lire alone
The 3IorgaDs were well connected and an
aunt just going abroad insisted upon tak-
ing Iieitrke rah her Reuben bad tried
to be of use in this time of trouble but
officious rclatires who had heard the Til-
lage rumors aud who thought the match
with a poor man unsuitable for their
niece snubbed him so politely jet de
cidedir that he refrained from offering
more
lie sought an interview with the girl
he loreiL She knowing nothing of the
insult which had been offered him and
hurt on her side by his apparent want of
sympathy received hira coldly
In the abandon of her grief her aching
heart had longed for the solace of his
love He had failed herl and she re
called with burning cheek how easily
she had given herself to one who cared
so little
The pain and constraint of both sMes
were unbearable and the meeting was
brief But Heubcn was not the man to
submit tamely to injustice
Beatrice he said at parting you
ere dearer to me than life or honor or
anything the world holds good On that
May afternoon upon the mountain I be
lived that you loved me Some reptile
has come between us When I hare con
quered and killed it I shall ask you to
redeem your pledge Till then fare-

lie was gone and Triiie Morgan lay
down that night with a greater sense of
dnsoUtion than before yet with a re-
newed belief in the truth of her lover
si bich she resolved should find an answer-
ing truth in her
Years ssed and the simple Glcnham
girl had changed much IVith native tact
he had readily adapted herself to her
new surroundings had enjoyed with
heartiness the goods the gods gave
her yet kept throughout it all her own
strong individuality
Sume advantageous offers had been
made her and her aunt who had daugh-
ters of her own began to be anxious that
her attractive nirce should settle

Well really the politely ncncom
mUtal clerk informed him he couldnt
say you know Some privato house he
beloved but eying our heros iimious
face BUspiciously really he couldnt
iray you know
Another idea struck tbe baflled search-
er The Spring Exhibitiott of Water-
Colors was in progress at the Art Club
house and thither sooner or lateran art
ist would be sure to find her way
lie bought the morning paprr and
hurried to Xewbury street It wis rcry
early himself the first visitor Bo he
tried to pnssthe time in reading In-
stead he did the most unromantic thing
possible went sound asleep A wakeful
night after a hurried journey had
wearied him greatly the quietude of the
deserted gallery was irresistible and
Dame Xature placidly poked 31 is Ro-
mance into her pocket for a bit
After a refreshing nap Reuben aToke
to find the rooms quite full of people A
little ashamed of his forgctfulncss n he
rose and sauntered about the gallery
Presently something arrested him It
was a delicate subtly sweet odor which
in a flash carried him back to old Break-
Neck and aMaydaY jcars rone by
lie looked around now eagerly
A lady in a dark blue travelingdress
stood before one of the pictures but not
looking at it On the contrary she was
holding to her face and as nearly hid-
ing in 2 little caressing motion of de
light a bunch of trailing arbutus
Despite its distinguished and foreign air
there was something very familiar altout
the trim figure and the halfhidden prp
file was could be that of Beatrice
only
His heart gave a great bound and in an
instant he was at the ladys side
The brown eyes looked up at him in
glad amaze How lovely she had grown 1
Beatrice darling I was crossing the
ocean to find you The old serpent of
my poverty is dead let all the doubta
and misunderstandings of these years die
with it If I was afraid to make my
meaning plain before I am not now
Here I ask you dear love of my whole
life will you be my wife
Once more the soft eyes filled with
happy tears and railed themselves be-
fore his passionate glance once more a
white hand held out to him a bunch of
their own sacred dainty flowers He
took them both the hand and the blos-
soms with tender revenge and will keep
them to the end Frank Leslies
IIott ItnrmahlEnby 311 dm are Worked
Ruby earth is called by the natives
of Burmah bjun and is generally
found at two different depths the first
layer at about four feet and the second
and richer one at twenty to thirty feet
below the surface It is generally ex-
tracted by a company of miners ten or
twelve in number Tits are dug about
eight feet square lined with rough
timber aad braced with four crosspieccs
at intervals Water enters the pit on
sinking a short distance below the sur-
face and the principal work and source
of expense is keeping the mine free from
water Upright posts are let into the
ground at a short distance from the
mouth and a fork is cut in the upper
end of each In this fork is balanced a
lever the longer arm of which hangs
over the pit while the shorter arm carries
a bncket weighted with stone to counter-
balance the contents of the basket which
is connected with the longer arm by a
bamboo which reaches to the bottom of
the pit This contrivance forms a most
efficient though simple means of raising
both water and earth by manual lator
Generally six or eight of these levers
overhang each pit in actual working and
probably the proportion of water Duck
ets in constart use to earth baskets is
two to one Three men at least are be-
low occupied in filling both baskets and
buckets they rise and fall incessantly
during the working hours which rarely
exceed six daily The ruby earth thus
extracted is placed in a heap at the side
of the pit and on first exposure while
wet sparkles in the sun with myriads of
small stones brilliant In color but not
large enough unfortunately to bo of any
value When a sufficient quantity has
I Km obtained It is washed In bamboo
trays and handed over to the sorters
who after carefully examining it and
taking out any stones of value pass it on
again to a small colony of women and
children who generally surround every
pit and who again tort it slowly over in
the hopes of finding some smaller stones
that may hare been missed by the men
It Is a ludicrous sight to see two or three
little children who perhaps can scarcely
walk sitting down before a heap of this
washed earth and sorting away with most
serious faces as if they realized that their
existence depended upon their exertions
Xo machinery is apparent in the whole
district though it is stated that a pump
was brought up a few years ago from
Mandalay but it soon got choked and
was thrown away as useless probably be-
cause no one understood how to work it

IllTempercil Monkeys
The Brazilian 31ycetes monkey or red
howler defends itself by means of its ap-
palling voice writes Felix Oswald At
the mere sight of a jaguar a Mycctcs as
sembly will set up a general whoop rais-
ing their voices to a deafening uproar
till the enemy prefers to retreat Some
of the old howlers are then apt to pursue
him for a quarter of a mile breaking out
into fre h execrations whenever they
catchsight of hisspccklcd hide It takes
hours to calm their excitement and in
moonlight when vcry bush seems to
hide a lurking foe they often make a
night of it and keep up a farsounding
roar renewed at the rustling of every
twig
The East African baboon often falls a
Tictim to nis passionate temper If the
Arabs wish to catch a rock baboon with-
out bringing on a conflict with a whole
troop of hlsfisty relatives they hare only
to insult the desired specimen by hitting
him with a stone Ten to one the en
rgcd fourhander will rush down from
the rocks and charge the offenders on
their own vantage ground when they
can easily capture him by a stunning
blow or by means of a net
I hare a Chacma baboon who flies into
a passion at the slightest provocation
If she sees anybody cat or drink she
usually Uretches out her hand for a share
Je f i nd l hcr wh not instanll7 gratified
she grabs the iron bars of hcr cag and
makes it rock about the floor like a ship
in a storm Once she managed to bend
two of those bars out of shape and es-
cape through the gap But we caught
her agtin by getting a boy to shake his
fiat at her bhe had taken refuge in a
tree In front of the house but in the ex-
citement at the offered insult she leaped
upon the roof of the veranda and chased
the culprit from room to room into a
gat ret where we succeeded in recaptur-
ing her
Boats of the Ceylon > atires
The natives of Ceylon have queer boats
They are quite long and so narrow says
a correspondent that I could not keep in
one of them without putting one leg in
front of the other The whole affair
stands well up out of the water and is
kept from capsizing by a long balance
log about six feet out from the boat and
secured to it by two lightly curved spars
All that I saw had small square rags for
sails which could only be set with a free
wind When the wind gets strong one
or more of the crew are sent out to squat
on the balance log the number found
necessary for this purpose denoting the
strength cf the wind thus they speak
of a one man gale a two nan gale and so
on They are said to be excellent sea
beats and to make good speed but co

rorrjLAfc SCIENCE
A system of weather observations on
a small scale has been established in
Brazil records from fifteen stations now
being regularly communicated to the
observatory of Itio Janeiro
Two astronomers of th < s Grand Ducal
observatory Carlsruhe have made the
remarkable observation that the dic of
the planet Uranus appears distinctly
elliptical instead of perfectly circular
According to Eti jinHrin ot London
31 O A Cassagnee of Taris lias in-
vented a system of stcnotelegraphy by
which he can transmit a despatch in
shorthand along a single wire and print
it at a ditant station in stenotelcgraph
characters with a rapidity exceeding that
of any telegraphic apparatus
31 Gavol has ascertained that the
absorption of atmosphere oxygen by coal
dust usually products the rise in the
temperature to which spontaneous com
bastion is due Lignite is ignited at the
low temperature of 300 ° authracitc at
575 ° and other varieties of coal In a
powdered state at intermediate tempera-
tures
31 Stanislaus Meunicr of Paris has been
for many years busy with the reproduction
of artificial minerals His latest work is
in the formation of the red balas ruby
and he has succeeded in the attempt By
taking wellcrystallized aluminate of
magnesia and colored a rose tint by traces
of chromium a stone is produced the
exact Counterpart of the nttural product
An interesting series of experiments
has been made by Dr J W Fraser on
the influence of our common beverages
on digestion Among thee drinks he
ficJyhat wijtcr is usually the best Of
infusions tea or cocoa acts most favorably
when bread is eaten and coffee is the
best for use with meats or eggs Eggs
are the best animal food with infused
beverages and should be softboiled
when tea is the beverage and hardboiled
with coffee or cocoa
It is generally supposed that pneu-
monia is due to the accidental penetra-
tion of specific microbes into the system
but tho observations of 3L Jaccoud a
French student of the subject show that
thedisense really results from the de
velopment under favorable conditions of
microbic germs permanently present ia
the system A chief condition of such
development is a sudden chill which
explains the frequent concidence of lung
affections with abrupt changes of tem
perature
A communication to the London 3fetc
orological society by Capt Toynbee
states as his conclusion that clouds of not
less than 2000 feet in thickness are sel-
dom accompanied by rain or if they are
it is very gentle consisting of minute
drops with a thickness of between
3000 and 4000 feet the size of the drops
is moderate with increasing thickness of
the clouds comes an increasing size of the
drops and at the same time the degree of
temperature becomes lowered When the
thickness amounts to more than C000
feet hail is produced
Killed by an Orange Seed
Henry Chatficld of Brooklyn died
recently of the effect of the lodgment of
an orange seed in his intestines lie had
been ill for several weeks with inflamma-
tion of the intestines followed by ulcera-
tion Dr Emerson his physician called
in Dr William Gilfillan for consultation
and they having decided that an opera-
tion w as necessary procured the assist-
ance of Dr P 11 Colton The three
doctors made an incision and after re-
moving a quantity of pus found tho
source of trouble and removed it The
patient however was unable to rally
from the shock and died about four
oclock Dr Gilfillan said to a Sun re-
porter
The operation was a desperate one

There was no posibility of saving the

found lodged in the appendix vcrrat
formis Thu is a small sac attached to
one part of the intestines What pur
pose it serves is not exactly known It
is however a sort of trap always ready
to catch and hold hard substances pass-
ing through the intestines The lodg-
ment of such substances in it is not in-
variably fatal but the exceptions are
rare feeds of orange rasins and simi-
lar fruits arc peculiarly liable to be caught
in this way Is it dangerous to cat
oranges Well I suppose in a city of
this size there is one case a year of death
from such a cause Very frequently it is
an orange seed but not always There
are about 600000 people in Brooklyn all j
eating oranges right along and with one
death a year from this cau3e it would
fcem to be about as dangcrougs to eat an
orange as to sit in the house and wait for
a stray pistol ball to kill you Still ifa j
just as safe and a good deal nicer not
to swallow the seeds when you cat
oranges
A Singular Circumstance
The most singular ca c of deafni
Ive ever had anything to do with said
the family physician is tliit of a woman
up on Fremont Place She lias such a
frightful noiEe in her head that she cant
hear a thing except when shes in a
herdic when the nttle of the vehicle sort
of drowns the noise in hcr head and she
can then hear as well as ever She ob-
served this peculiarity of hcr affliction
and what did she do the other night but
bring home a watchmans rattle and a pair
of cymbals She didn t say anything
until hcr hnsbnnd came home and sat
down to dinner He began to ask the
blessing and she wishing to hear his
remarks began to bang away on the
cymbals He stopped right in the midst
of his devotions and asked Jicr wrath-
fully if she was crazy to which she re-
sponded by whooping it a little louder
whereupon he rushed over to my house
and said his wife was a ravng lunatic I
went back with him to try and fix up
matters but just as soon as I opened my
mouth she let fly w ith the watchmans
rattle The outcome of it is that my
friend gets all his meals down town and
spends his evenings at the City Club
while his wife armed with her orchestra
goes calling on her neighbors and fools
the children into believing that the circus

short distance below Mordccais pond to
fish While standing on the bank he no-
ticed a large black snake coiled up on a

with his pole to frighten it off but the
snake didnt move He then threw a
rock at it The snake sprang at him and
fastened its fangs in his trousers 3Ir
Kramer seized the snake just below its
head and jerked it upward Instantly
the snake coiled its body around Kra
mers neck and began tightening its folds
until Mr Kramer was nearly suffocated
He endeavored to break the hold but
failed Seeing that unless he was re-
leased from the deadly embrace he would
be killed Mr Kramer who was growing
weak from the struggle staggered up to
a large rock which was a short distance
off and beat the head of the snake against
it until it was killed The snakeraeas

head down and boms in a position to
raise him He was a state official a man
of dignity and political power and
natural pomposity but ho ran He ran
surprisingly well He ran even better
than he lid for office and he got to the
fence first He clambered otr out of
breath and dignity and found the
owner of the bull calmly contemplating
the operation

irate official What do you mean by
having an infuriated animal like that
roaming over the fields
Well I guess the bull has some right

Useful Hints on Pastry
Butter and eggs for cake should
always Ins beaten to a cream
Ia beating eggs beat the yokes until
you can take up a spoonful whip whites
to stiff froth and stir them into cake w ith
the flour the last thing before putting
cake Into tins
Flour should always be sifted just be
fore you wbh to use it
Baking powder should be thoroughly
mixed with the flour dry
To boil a pudding in a lug dip bag
which should be made of thick cotton
or linen in hot water and rub the inside
with flour before putting ia the pudding
when done dip bag in cold water and the

Preparation orWhltcwash
Whitewash ia one of the mot valuable
articles Irt the worM when mupcry ap
plied It not only prevents the decay of
wood 1 > ut conduces greatly to the health-
fulness of all buildings whether of
wood or stone Outbuildings and fences
when not painted should be supplied
once or twicca year with a good coat of
whitewash which should be prepared in
the following way Take a clean water-
tight barrel or other suitable cask and
put into it half a bushel of lime Slake
it by pouring water over it boiling hot
and in sufficient quantity to cover it fit c-
inches deep and stir it briskly till
thoroughly slaked When the slaking
has been thoroughly effected dissolve in
water and add two pounds of sulphate
of zinc and one of common salt these
will cause the wash to harden and pre-
vent itscracking which ghes aa un-
seemly appearance to the work
If desirable a beautiful cream color
maybe communicated to the above wash
by adding three pounds of yellow ochre
ora good pearl or lcjd color by the addi-
tion of lamp vine or ivory black For
faw u color add four pounds of umber
Turkish or American the latter is the
cheapest one pound of common lamp
black For common stone color add
four pounds of raw umber and two
pounds of lampblack This wash miy
be applied with a common whitewash
brush and will be found much superior
both in appearance and durability to
the common whitewash Cincinnati

Fish Traveling Orerland
A singular fact in connection with the
pike is its habit of suddenly appearing
in tends in which it did not previously
exist Experiments which have l > een
made would seem to point to the infer-
ence that this fish like the eel will
travel over land for a short distance
through wet grass to reach water An
instance of this kind once happened at
the Zoological Gardens During the
night a tank in which a pipe was con
fined burst and the pike being left was
found in the morning by the keeper mak-
ing its way along the path toward a pond
at some distance When picked up it
had already gone some twenty jards

A Wonderful Armless Man
Recently there died at Potsdam New
York a w onderf ul man says the Augusta
Chronicle An accident deprived hira of
both arms which were amputated at the
shoulder He earned a living by using
his feet and his mouth instead of his
arms We are told that he owned a
horse of which he took the entire care
harnessed it fastened and unfastened the
buckles with his teeth and drove with
reins tied around his shoulders Being
in need of a wason he bought wheels
and avlis and built a l ox buggy complete
and painted it He went to the barnona
w inter day and built a cow stable sawing
the timber with his fiet and with tho
hammer in one foot and holding tile nail
with the other he nailed the boards on
ns well as most men could do with tbeir
hands He dug a well twelve feet deep
on a farm in the town and stoned it him-
self He could move away hay by hold-
ing the fork under his chm and letting
it rest against his shoulder He could
pick up potatoes in the field as fast as a
man could dig them He would dress
himself get his meals write his letters
and in fact do almost anything that any
m in with two hands could do Many a
man with all of hi physical faculties un
impsied mourns because he cannot get
along and j ct this armless brother m ido
himnrlf independent without arms or
hands lb was like the Crimean hero
who when his lower limbs were shot
away wrote to the woman he was en-
gaged to marry releasing hcr She an-
swered I w Hl marry you if you have
enough body remaining to contain your
