Respecting Her Woe.
A henlthy looking woman dressed in
deep mourning stepped ou to the plat
form scales and requested the gro
cer's clerk to ascertain her weight
lie looked and sulci, "Ono hundred
and forty pounds."
"You uiudo a mistake of twelvo
pounds in that woman's weight," said
another man who had ulso wntohed
the scales. "She weighed 152 pounds
Instead of 140."
"I know that," said the clerk, "but
she never would have forgiven me if
I had told her so. That woman's hus
band died about six weeks nao. Sho
has gained seven pounds in that time,
but to keep her in good humor with
herself I had to make her think sho
had lost five. I don't know why It
Is, but anybody who has Buffered be
reavement seems to think it a disgrace
to take on flesh. That woman has
been weighed threo times slnco her
husband died. She would be shocked
If she knew she had gained right
along. Fortunately she is too near
sighted to read the scales herself, so
It is easy to mako hot- think sho Is
wasting away." Philadelphia Ledger.

AIDED THE REVOLT
The Destruction of Portland, Me.,
In Colonial Days.
ACT OF AN ENGLISH OFFICER.
A Royalist Woman's Wilaa Caused the
Annihilation of the City and Saved
Portsmouth, N. H For Which Port
land's Fata Had Been Planned.
One of the causes of the Revolution
ary war, and quite as important a one
as the stamp act, was the wanton de
struction of the city of Portland, Me.,
then part of the town of Falmouth.
It was said that the patriots might
have forgiven Lexington and Concord,
but that the razing of this town, which
bad been peaceubly inclined until then,
incensed the colonies beyond measure.
One prompt result was the Immediate
formation of a Maine regiment which
was added to the meager forces of the
Continental army.
Not so generally known, however, is
the tradition that It was due to the
fascinations of a - beautiful woman
that Tortland was destroyed and an
other town preserved.
When the British commander, Cap
tain Mowatt, on board his flagship, the
Canceau, anchored with bis fleet In
Portland's Inner harbor, he did not re
veal to her citizens that the unscrupu
lous little god of love had been his
pilot Instead, on a bright October
morning In 177G, be ran up the royal
ensign on his fleet and at 9 o'clock
began a bombardment that lasted un
interruptedly until 6 o'clock at night
Portland was unprepared for such a
visitation, and there was no attempt
at defense, the inhabitants simply
swarming the streets with their oz
parts and horses and attempting to
seek safety by flight to the open coun
try back from the water front
Bo close did the assailing Teasels ap
proach that under cover of the bom
bardment they landed sailors who per
vaded the town, setting fire to such
buildings as had escaped damage from
hot shot and exploding bombs. Before
Captain Mowatt had completed the sac
rifice he desired to lay before love's
shrine three-quarters of thej town was
totally destroyed, including the mu
nicipal buildings, churches, public li
brary, fire engine houses, warehouses,
wharfs and shipping.
All that he left was a handful of the
poorer hovels, every residence of Im
portance being bombarded or set on
fire and 5,000 inhabitants left shel
terless at the approach of winter.
To make it practically certain that aid
could not come to the seaport by wa
ter he destroyed all but one wharf and
took with him on his departure nil the
vessels anchored in the harbor that
had been Bpared from the torch.
Truly he had a glorious bonfire and
in explanation he exhibited instruc
tions which read: "Come opposite the
town with all possible expedition, and
there burn, sink and destroy," but the
gossips of the time said that these or
ders originally related to Portsmouth,
N. n., and that It was due to a woman
that they were not carried out as written.
Captain Mowatt and his fleet had
anchored off Portsmouth harbor some
time previously to his nfisuult upon
Portland, and while there he hnd gone
quietly on shore and secretly visited
the family of the roynlist (or Tory, as
the colonists called them), Nathaniel
Bparhawk. Nathaniel hnd a daughter,
a girl of eighteen, famed the country
round for her beauty as her father was
famed for bis obnoxious loyalty to
King George, and when the sailor cap
tain saw her he proved nn easy con
quest (like most sailors where pretty
women are concerned), and he found
it iioecssary to be rowed from his ship
uinny times in order to spend the evcu-
ings with attractive Mary Sparhawk.
Her wit, beauty and brilliancy of
conversation fasclnntcil him and
through her lufluencc, it is said, the
intention of bombarding Portsmouth
was abandoned, and Portland suffered
in tho stead of the town which held
the charming little loyalist.
So what one historian termed "a
wanton, Indefensible assault upon nn
undefended and peaceful city" came
ubout through a woman's smile, and
every Volley from the fifty guns of
Mowatt's (loot doubtless carried his
thoughts back to the lass who had won
hl9 heart. The smoldering- wharfs and
tho (laming houses wero his burnt of
fering to his ladylove.
The Sparhawk house, where the cap
tain lost his heart still stunds; but
nlqs, the romance ended ns so many
romances do, for after tho Revolution
wns over tho fair and fascinating belle
married a physician and a putrlot

OUR SENSITIVE PLANET.
Constant Changes In the Shap of the
Earth's Crust.
One naturally, thinks of the earth's
crust as being exceedingly solid and
stable, except perhaps in volcanic re
gions where earthquakes are of fre
quent occurrence., As a matter of
fact however, the shell of our planet
is extremely sensitive and most deli
cately balanced, so that under the in
fluences of causes that seem altogeth
er insignificant In comparison with the
gigantic bulk and weight of the earth
it yields and fluctuates in a most
amazing manner.
To an eye so placed as to be capa
ble of taking in at one comprehensive
glance the whole round outline of the
globe It would not appear of precisely
the same shape during an entire day
or even an hour. Most of the changes
referred to are, of course, very slight
when compared with the size of the
earth itself.
The operation of atmospheric and
aceanlc and other similar causes is
continually bringing about changes in
the shape of the earth's crust. One
of the most interesting of the agencies
whereby such alterations are effected
Is the carrying power of rivers. Wher
ever a great quantity of sand and
gravel Is being brought down from the
interior of a continent and poured into
the sea, as, for instance, along the
northwestern coast of Europe or the
gulf coast of the United States, the
weight of the earth's crust Is slowly
increasing, and the consequence is
seen in tho gradual subsidence of the
shore.
Such a sinking has been going on
for thousands of years along the North
sea coast and on the continental side
of the British channel. A similar de
pression Is occurring on the eastern
edge of our own country and along
the gulf of Mexico. It has been esti
mated that the gulf coast is sinking
at the rate of nearly two feet in a
century.
Corresponding elevations must, of
course, occur elsewhere. And to these
slow changes In the level of the earth's
crust earthquakes are due as well as
to the more violent local disturbances
created by volcanic action. Harper's
Weekly.
SOAP BUBBLES.
Thinness of the Gray Hued Filmi Just
Before They Burst.
What is a soap bubble? Nothing but
a film of water molecules held together
by the cohesive power of soap in solu
tion. A soap bubble's size and strength
depend upon the right composition of
the mixture that furnishes its mate
rial.. The colors in a soap bubble are
due to what is known in physics as the
Interference of light, and depend upon
the varying thickness of the film of
water.
The observer who watches a bubble
as it is blown will notice that the col
ors rapidly chase one another over the
filmy globe. lie will also see that
they vary in hue, growing less and
less bright at the top of the bubble
because there gravity stretches It
downward and nukes the film thin
nest It is a singular fact that the last
color to appear on a soap bubble Just
before it breaks is a gray tlut The
thickness of the film when this tint
appears upon it is less than the one
hundred and fifty-slx-tbousandth of an
Inch.
Were a soap bubblo to be magnified
to the size of the earth and the mole
cules magnified in proportion, then the
whole structure would bo as coarse
grained as a globe of small leadshot
touching one another at their surfaces.
In the blowing of a soap bubble there
is presented tho spectacle of the
stretching of a liquid to the extreme
limit of its capacity. In this way we
come nearer to a sight of the invisible
molecules of matter than could be' got
in any other way no matter how elab
orate the experiment Exchange.
An East Indian Amulet.
In India a variety of gems and
stones are used as amulets. The most
common Is the snlagramn, a stone
nbout as large as a billiard ball and
which is perforated with black. This
is supposed to be found only in Gan-
dakl, a river in Nepaul. The person
who possesses one of these stones is
esteemed highly fortunate. He pre
serves it In a clean cloth, from whence
It is sometimes taken to be bathed and
perfumed. He believes that tlw water
iu which it is washed, if drunk, has
the power to preserve from sin. Hold
ing it iu his hand, the dying Hindu ex
pires in peace.
The Reoipe.
"Your novel is pretty good," said the
publisher to Scrlbley, "but. after all,
It needs Just a little more thrill. Can't
you put something stirring In it?"
Why, I might." said Scrlbley,
"though Just how to stir things up I
don't know."
"Well," smiled the publisher, "sup
pose you try Just a little more spoon
ing. Nothing like a good spoon for
stirring, you know." Harper's.
