MOTHER IN THE WgPDINO QOWN. Here's picture of my mother in her wed ding gown. Ah, me, I wonder If thert ever was a fairer bride than the. Not a wrinkle on her forehead, not a line denoting care Can be traced upon her feature; what a wealth of wary hair Fell away from her fair templet! And the imlle she wore that day Waa the amlle of one whose aorrowi atill were lurking far away. I can fancy that my father, ai he gazed npon'ber then, Mast bare held bit head op proudly, faTored o'er all other men; And, beholding the iweet beauty of the face depicted here, - I imagine I can see him, young and ar dent, standing near I have loved and I can see him as he caught her to hla breast, When the atrength of youth was in him and his lips on hers were pressed. The picture of my mother, taken on her . wedding day, . Showa the face of one whose sorrows were all lurking far away, And a fairer bride than the haa never charmed a man, I trow Yet there's one whose smile is tweeter than her smile was long ago, One whose brows have many furrows proudly looks sometimes on me, And I see the fondest, gladdest smile a man may hope to. see... Cincinnati Enquirer,' fHEY were sensible, hard-working girls, were the Tburlowa, and ev ery oue liked and admired them. The two elder ones made quite a nice little sum of pocket money by their poultry and vegetables, which they took Into the market themselves, and old right well, for their thing were al ways of the beat and found a ready tale. It woa a brilliant Jane morning and the pony waa waiting with the little cart at the door, stamping hia little feet with impatience, for It waa Monday, and "Jan" waa fresh from his stable. "Angela," cried a fresh young voice, "hurry up. Jan la at the door and the baskets are in. Do make haste; wo shall be dreadfully late." "I'm coming. Oh, wait a moment, Rita; I must take some of those pink roses from the south wall. I'm sure they'd sell." It was Just eight o'clock and a lovely dny. Overhead hung a cloudless blue sky, but it was no bluer than the azure depths of Angela's eyes, and the sun light was scarce brighter than her glo rious hair, which colled round her head In masses of warm color. She was known as the "best of the lot," and she certainly deserved that position in th family looks on this glorious morning, as she came round breathlessly from the south wall, where she had been gathering a large handful of delicious pink roses, all wet with dew. "Now, then, my good Rita, as hard as you and Jan like!" said Angela gaily, as she got into the cart s And, with a flick of the whip across his shaggy shoulders, away went Jan down the narrow" avenue, out into the lane which led into the highroad to the town, four miles distant Tats of yellow butter set out on a neighboring table, which was presided over by a fat farmer's wife, made a de licious contrast to the piles of vege tables, baskets of brown eggs and the loose bunch of pink roses which the girls speedily set out In their turn; and there was no lack of customers at the Fiornlng went on. Strangers glanced curiously at the lovely face of the girl In the blue cotton gown and the sun- bounet, which half concealed her love liness; and presently a carriage which was passing stopped and two people a man and a lady got out and came slowly Into the market They were strangers to the Thurlows. rosslbly they were staying In the neighborhood, which was famous for its scenery and its natural sporting ad vantages. But they had no time to waste in staring idly at passers-by, for they were besieged by customers, and soon their pile of produce had nearly vanished all but the pink roses and a few eggs. "Mhw Rita, my dear," whispered the fat woman at the next stall, hurriedly, "will you look after my things while I run out to speak to my daughter for a minute? She passed by, and I must see her at once." "Of course, Mrs. Radley," said An gela; "and I'll have sold all you've got by the time you come back r "Thank you kindly, Miss Angela, dear!" And Mrs. Radley hurried off, while Angela took the vacant seat at the stall. It was getting hot and she leant back against the wall with a feeling of drowsiness, when she Tras roused by a Toice, saying: "By Jove! there's a pretty girl! I say, Maude " She glanced In the direction of the voice, and saw the two strangers she had noticed getting out of the carriage. They were coming toward her, and her yes met those of the man, who waa looking at her with frank admiration In his handsome face. "My dear Geoff, do be careful !" said the lady, with a laugh; and then she advanced to the stall where, as a rule. the worthy Mrs. Radley presided over the destinies of her butter and chick ema. "Is this Mrs. Radleya stall V sue asked, with a surprised glance at the rtri. who rose from ner seat Tea, ma'am," said Angela, with the demurest air.

This caused quite a flutter or in terest in the Thurlow establishment and great were the preparations made for the reception of Tom and his friend. certain Captain Lawler. It was late when they arrived, and Angela was out feeding her poultry. "Where's Aneela?" asked Tom. when all the first greetings were over, and Captain Lawler bad been Introduced to hl friend's good-looking family.

The operation may be repeated if the neua-' tive Is not yet satisfactory. This for- mula may also be used for intensifying weak negatives. ' The ambitious beginner, starting out with bis first camera, is very apt to make the mistake of fancying that the more comprehensive the view he can get upon bla plate, the better will be bis picture. A few trials, however, serve to show him that the camera m not adapted to this kind of work, and that the view which embraces "all out doors" Is fiat and uninteresting from ; the fact that all details are so minute j as to require a good deal of study to r identify them.

At that moment the door opened and Angela came In. Tom always declares that 'both she and Geoffrey Lawler looked as If they had been suddenly struck motionless Images, but that may be taken as a slight exaggeration of the affair. "Well, I'm blessed!" said Tom. "You two don't need an Introduction, evi dently; and, since you both seem to have so much to say, you'd better get ' It over. I shall be in the stables when you want me. Come on, Rita." And as the others vanished, and ( Geoffrey Lawler found himself alone , with the "best of the lot" his tongue was suddenly unloosed, and he spoke. They were still talking an hour later; and Tom Thurlow was very eloquent dh the subject when he came back from a wrathful tour of the stables, and found the two of them still talking, as he expressed It Geoffrey Lawler and Angela are like ly to talk for ever and a day, for he declared that Fate had brought them together In such a wonderful manner that it would be ungrateful, to say the least of it to allow themselves to part again.

Certain scientific men now believe that the enormous Internal heat of the earth may be utilized for some practi cal purpose. Prof. William Hallock of Columbia University expresses, In the World's Work, the opinion that the plan Is feasible. He says: - "It is not merely a question of getting steam; it is a question of the quantity of steam that can be had. Near Boise, Idaho, hot water Is now drawn from well, and used to heat a dwelling. The Pittsburg and Wheeling wells are capa ble of heating the water left In them overnight; hut even if their depth were sufficient to turn the water to steam, It would require so many hours' waiting as to rob the process of all commercial value. In other words, there would not be the slightest difficulty in obtaining steam from the Interior of the earth, because that Involves only a little ex tra labor In boring Into the hot area, and It Is almost as easy to bore ten thousand feet as six thousand; but In order to give the steam commercial value, a method must be provided for dropping the water to the hot area, al lowing it time to heat and yet having it returned to the surface as steam, without interrupting the flow, "Two holes might be bored Into the earth, twelve fhoisand feef deep and perhaps fifty feet apart There would be a temperature far above the boiling point of water. Then, if very heavy charges of dynamite or some other ex plosive were lowered to the bottom of each hole, and exploded simultaneous ly, a sufficient connection might be es tablished between the two holes. The rock would be cracked and fissured In all directions, and shattering it thus around the base of the holes would turn the surrounding area into an Immense water-heater. The water poured Into one bole would be heated and turned into steam, which would pass through the second hole to the earth's surface. The pressure of such a column of steam would be enormous; for aside from Its initial velocity, the descending column of cold water would exert a pressure of at least five thousand pounds to the square inch, which would drive every thing movable through the second hole. The problem Is therefore a mechanical one, concerned chiefly with connecting the two boles. This accomplished, the water-heater would operate Itself, "and establish a source of power that would surpass anything now in use. '' LOUISIANA LEVEES. Thirty Millions Spent on Them by the State Since the War. If you picture In your mind an enor mous sickle, having a handle also at the hooked end, you will have the Mis sissippi river as It flows In yellow swiftness past the city of New Orleans. A hundred miles to the southward it pours through Its many mouths Into the broad blue gulf. In the crescent of the sickle, which gives to the city its name, lies New Orleuus, and no sharp blade lu the hand of the husbandman thrust into the ripening grain was ever surer of Its destructlveness than would be this vast crescent of the Mississippi when once It should be given sway. Sometimes when the river 18 at flood its surface will rise twenty feet above the level of the city's streets. In the center of the stream It will be nearly 200 feet deep, with a powerful cur rent, which, we.-e It not for the pro tecting levee about the city, must sweep everything before it This giant river, which has made this city possi ble, drains an enormous basin. Its wat ershed being greater In area than that of any other river on the globe. The volume of water which flows past the city Is equal to 150,000,000 cubic yards. There are now nearly 1,500 miles of levees on the lower Mississippi, and Louisiana alone has spent since the Civil War nearly $30,000,000 on the river, while It costs the State $1,U00, 000 annually to maintain Its levees. Strange as It may seem, the deadliest enemies of these great earthen em bankments are the insignificant craw fish and the muskrat; for, once the slightest bole Is made in the levee by either of them, the relentless river finds its way through and vast loss en sues. Alnslee's Magazine. The Accordion. Emlle Gautler has written a plea for the despised accordion. He calls it the poor man's piano forte, and wonders why it should be so overlooked outside of Bussla, where It Is the national in strument There all the regiments have their acordion players, whose lively notes relieve the monotony of long marches.

II 'law One man and a deadly torpedo float lug about beneath the surface of the water. The torpedo rburged so that It will blow a great warship to destruc tion; the man provided with means by which to discharge his dangerous weapon In a way to do the most harm. Such is the latest of all torpedo boats a one-man affair, not larger than ' a large fish, and yet ns effective in Its purposes, if the theory of its iuventor Is correct, as one of the Holland sub marine boats. , , , - The man who has perfected this of fensive - and Invisible destroyer Is Thomas J. Morlarity, for many years the mechanical expert In the employ of the United States Government at the torpedo station at Newport. Mr. Morlarity was long ago Impress ed with the Idea that the only way by which to make the action of the tor pedo actually certain wus to put an ex perienced operator Inside It; for, while Its automatic machinery operates with almost human intelligence, there is no certainty that it will on long ranges do exactly what Is required of it. From the idea of putting a man Inside It to that of placing a man outside it, the transition was easy; and it I lieu be came a problem to give him a safe shelter,, means of locomotion, of sub merging and of discharging the projec tile. To accomplish these essentials he has devised a cigar-shaped bout of bronze plates, about ten feet long, three feet deep and Ave fet wide. Beneath this Is suspended the Whitehead torpedo in a frame, and It Is propelled by com pressed air when the operator has ap proached near the mark. WONDERFUL IRON ELEPHANT. Designed for Great Exposition by a Chicago Man, Mr. Joseph llusak, of Chicago, is pre pared to out-Ferris Ferris at the St. Louis exposition, or at any other expo sition which may come along and make room for his "iron elephant," 300 feet long and 250 feet in height, or for his "Jonah's whale," 50 feet long aud big in girth in proportion. The "Iron elephant" is the chief fea ture and creation of Mr. Husak's In ventive faculty, and he purposes to adapt the metal beast to more uses than the Indian beast is capable of lu the flesh. The body of the animal Is to bo four stories in height, the floors to be reached by elevators running in the legs of the creature. The first floor is to be used and rented for small show rooms; the second floor for a cafe and restaurant, and furnish entrance to the MR, husak's iron elephant. elephant's trunk, which Is to be con structed to pull the ears up and down and at the same time swing. The third floor will be used for all sorts of amusements, and serve as an entrance to the "chute of chutes" and to the small Ferris wheels in each car of the elephant The fourth floor can be used for a theater or music hall, placing the stage In the bead of the beast. On top of the creature will be a roof garden or an observatory. The eyes will be two gigantic searchlights, and the tail might be used by some Inventor to show a new fire escape. All signals may be trumpeted from this structure,, and electric power will be used to run the different devices. Mr. Husak's whale will be in propor tions to simulate the real thing. liven the interior of the animal will be con sturcted according to economy of na ture, only that entrance to the inside thrugh the mouth will be through an uplifted Jaw. Windows will be pro vided, and the whale, swimming In a circular tank, will be operated by elec tricity, rising and sinking at the slight est wish of the operator. TABITHA SANBORN'S RIDE.

Han nah Sanborn rhllbrook. In a recent article on old time Sanbornton, relates bow an ancestress of hers supplied a deficiency In her weaving apparatus. She found unexpectedly that her work required the use of certain reed and harness which could be obtained only at a place five miles distant reached by a road leading over a num ber of steep and dangerous bills.

It serves as a padding for the body while the oper ator is in the boat and also as a life preserver in an emergency. Air Is admitted through the rear mast and circulates throughout the boat This air tube Is, however, automatical ly closed when the boat Is beneath the surface of the water, and the conning tower Is completely covered by means of a hydrostatic piston, open to the water at the bottom of the boat, the pressure of the water at the increased depth forcing up the piston, which ac tuates a lever to force a valve over the air-tube opening, thus preventing the entry of water through It The same motion of the piston oper ates levers connected to a valve In the compressed air tank In the bottom of the boat, opening It and thus allowing a line stream of air to issue therefrom Jnto .the boat, and supplying the oper ator with fresh air.

"Soon after her arrival," writes her great-grauddaughter, "there were signs of a coming tempest, and she had to hasten. The reed and harness, at least four feet long, were bound to the colt and she turned toward home.

Men Stenofcraphera Scarce. "There is one feature of the govern ment service that puzzles me," said a chief of division in' the Treasury De partment "and that Is the lack of men stenographers. I don't see Why men who have ambitions to enter govern ment work don't equip themselves along this line.' 1 do not mean to dls- pargae the efficiency of women type writers, for they do all that is expect ed of them, and more, too. But there is a limitation to their usefulness, no matter how expert they may be.

Oftentimes we have to rely on the judgment of an Inferior, aud are not always willing, and. In fact would fie afraid, to trust to the discretion of a woman. "To my mlud the scarcity of men typewriters Is largely due to the fact that women have bluffed their mascu line rivals or would-be rivals from the field.

To tell the truth, there Is no field so much open to men, as far as Uncle Sam Is concerned, as that of the typewriter, aud In few is there held out such prospect of advancement. For In stance, Secretary Cortelyou Is an ex s'tcnographer, and not so much of an "ex" at that tot he was, and always will be, a skillful band at the type writer.

There are many poor correspondents who would doubtless like to make the excuse given by a boy who was spend ing his first year at a boarding school. The first letter, anxiously awaited by his parents, was not received for more than a week, and then It was short and to the point "Dear people," wrote the boy, T don't believe I shall be able to send you msny letters while I'm here. You see when things are happening I haven't time, and when they aren't happening I haven't anything to write. You'll understand how It Is, won't you, father?
