He h.ui loved her very tenderly and for a Imiir time, lint she had scorned him. He was no worm either, for he would hiivp turned when trod upon, but she reeked not this. It was enough for her that she did not earn for him. .This is usually enough for any woman: also for any man when the boot is on the other fool, for of such is the kingdom of Cupid.

Then he fled away so weary with die asters, trigged with fortune, that he wonld set his life on any chance to mend it or be rid of it. Detroit Free Press. A Co torn That Is Very Old Indeed. A bride made the confession to a group of young women who gathered around her after the wedding ceremony and the congratulations had been said and owned up to having worn a yellow gar ter for two years, that she had counted the stars aud carried out the various bits of lore that are prophetic of a speedy marriage and happiness ever after. moreover, when she opens her trunk and traveling bag and the bridegroom opens his umbrella enough rice will come to light to make their first rice pudding, and the shoe strapped on the outside of the trunk will tell its own tale. It is strange how much enjoyment one gets out of such harmless things, but the custom lasts, and the older it grows the more rigidly it is adhered to. Buffalo News. What 81i Would Do.

The Prc.'l of Hoe l.tfe Tint! Vanished with Uur UtUuruInK KycNtght. A voiim; physician, who had left his na tive town in Iwyhood, returned to it to prac tice his profwion. He found the peoploso changed that he felt himself almost among strangers. One day, while walking about the streets, ho saw what looked like a fa miliar faro and form to a negro lounging at a street corner. It was Tony, the hoy who had neon his playmate in uhildhood. "Is that you, Tony " he called, "Howdy, Mane I'nuikf" cried Tony with delight, and a cordial handshake reuewed the friendship, "How Is mummy?" wsnthe doctor's first questiou.

She's on the old plantation, hut she's Uen blind a long time, l'se just couie back, too, nn when 1 went to see Uor, the lirst thing she wanted to know was alwut yon." It was not many days before the doctor went to se her, and upon examining her eyes, found a strong probability that sight might he restored by means or an opera tion. He persuaded her to let him try, A few weeks later an interested group was gathered in the dortor'H otlice. A slender, fair haired man, the doctor, was heading over a chair in which sat an old negro woman, while behind the ohnir stood Tony, silently worshiping the man whocould glvouyeatothe blind.

The woman unclosed her eyes and looked up. her face qui verms with emotion, while her hands clutched nervously at bur dress. A look of great disappointment swept over her face. The doctor noted it. "In it possible that theoperatlon has foiled?" he thought. No. Before her she saw standing a tall, bearded man, uot a line of whoae face was familiar. , . , ... . . .

Division of llootj on a BuUMr, The customs and regulations most com monly observed on board a buccaneer are worth noting. Every piratecuptain, doubt less, bad his own set of rules, but there were certuin traditional articles that seem to huve been generally adopted. The cap tain had the state cabin, a double vote in elections, a double share of booty. On some vessels it was the captain who de cided what direction to sail in, but this and other matters of moment were oftener settled by a vote of the company, the cup tain'B vote counting for two. The officers hail a share and a half, or a share auu a quarter, of all plunder, and the sailors one shure each. Booty was divided with scru pulous care, and marooning was the penal ty of attempting to defraud the general company If only to the amount of a gold piece or a dollar. Every man had a (nil vote in every affair of importune. Arms were always to be clean and fit for service, and desertion of the ship or quar ters in battle was punished with death. National Beview. Electricity In Ships. In view of the present rapid development of speed In ocean steamers, it is interesting to note the lines on which still greater im provement is looked for. Oberlin Smith has propounded the Idea that the ships of the future will probably be driven by elec tricity by menus of a simple rotating ar mature fixed on the shaft of the screw it self. The source of the electric current for driving the motors of the prospective three or four day Atlantic liners, Mr. tsmitn con- sidcrs, would probably be storage batteries placed in the extreme bottom und along the whole length of the hold, where they will serve as excellent ballast, or else the current will be generated by some direct process from coal or other fuel, either burned or otherwise chemically disorgan ized during the passage.

Lot one bear a weight all day long, does he not attribute his consequent headache to the heavy burden he has ttorne? It seems without elaborate thinking we could conceive of the remits following upon prolonged use of the eye. Nature has done all ohe could to protect and prolong the usefulness of the eye. No earthly architect ever yet planned a structure that would not yield, crum ble and fall, and the house human, so more rupidty and surely thun need be, for the reason that we do not realize how much one iwrt is sustained or over thrown by another. One tiny muscle is I potent enough to disturb the whole econ omy, especially if intercurrent diseases exist in addition to "eye strajp." Phil adelphia Record. The Vlbrutluii uf atamrs. The discomfort of the excessive vibra tion on board the fust sailing oceun steam- on has increased so much with the in 1 crenso in the speed uf travel that investi gations have been imtdo into the subject with a view of modifying the inconven I ience caused to passengers. The usual j idea is that this vibration is due to the action of the powerful engines. This in apparently erroueous. for it is now found i that the cause consists solely in the uni ' aon between the number uf revolutions of the engines and the uumber of vibra tions of the ship. The Binullor the length ! of the ship the greater is the Dumber per unit of Its vibrations, aud the longer the steamer the greater is the correspond- ing time of its vibrations. Now York ! Telegram. Feacorks for Illnnm , , .. What roast swun is to roast goose, such Is roast peacock to roast turkey. Many owners of country houses who keep pea. cocks and let them run wild and nest in their woods and shrubberies take little trouble either to fatten or cook the pea chicks. If they did, they would perhaps take more pains to rear these birds for the table. The meat is very white aud of ex ceedingly fine and close gndn and has tho true game flavor, with none of the string!- ness of the common turkey. The American wild turkey is, however, an even finer bird for the table than the peacock. London Bpectntor. Brooklyn Hotel 208-212 Bush St., Sao Francisco.
