If I wero to paint tho short days of winter 1 should paint two towering icebergs approaching each other llko promontories for morning nnd evening, with envernous recesses nnd a solitary traveler wrapping his cloak about him and bent forward against tho driving storm just entering tho narrow pass. I would paint tho light of a taper nt midday seen through a cottage win dow, baif burled in snow and frost. In the foreground should appear the harvest nnd far in tho background through tho pass should bo seen the sowers In tho fields "nnd other evi dences of spring. On tho right nnd left of tho nppronching icebergs tho Leavens should bo shaded off from the light of midday to midnight with Its Stars, tho sun being low in the sky. Henry David Thoreau. Electromagnets. An electromagnet consists, essential ly, of n core of soft iron surrounded by mnny turns of Insulated copper wire through which a powerful electric cur ' rent Is mado to flow. When tho cur rent stnrts flowing the iron Instantly becomes a magnet, nnd when the cur rent Is shut off tho iron Just ns instant ly loses its magnetism. An electromag net can bo mado much moro powerful than a permanent magnet of steel, and It Is also much moro useful, because Its magnetism may bo turned on and off at will. It is indispensablo In making telegraph Instruments, nnd in recent years it has become hardly less Indis pensablo as a kind of giant derrick hand for picking up tons of steel and Iron nnd depositing them wherever they aro wanted.

ROSS One day when the Mnrqnls.of Bally shnunon was hunting, hot and thirsty, be enme to a well from which a girl was drawing water. Dismounting, ho went townrd her and asked her for a drink. She told him that she would bo happy to give him one, but there was no cup at hand. Tho marquis said that he would drink from tho bucket At this the girl mado a grimace, look ing from tho marquis to tho bucket, as much as to say, "It's no Qt thing for a gentleman to dtlnk from." Then, making a cup of her two hands, she dipped them in the bucket, filled them with tho cool water and offered the marquis a drink from the improvised cup. Though tho girl was but a coun try lassie, her hands .were beautifully shaped, and while the marquis was drinking ho looked up Into her two liquid eyes nnd drank of tho soul be hind them as well ns of the water with in her hands. Not a great deal of wa ter can bo hold In such a cup, certainly not enough to quench tho thirst of n hot and tired huntsman. So tho mar quis drank a number of times from tho Improvised receptacle, and every time he looked Into tho girl's eyes till at last he drew drafts of love. When ho was ashamed to drink any moro ho left a kiss in tho cup, with drew, mounted his horse nnd rode away. The girl stood looking after him till he reached the crest of a rise In the ground, when ho turned, threw her n kiss from tho tips of his fingers, then descended tho opposite sldo of the declivity nnd was lost to sight Somehow after this tho marquis could not refrain from thinking of the lass, and the lass was constantly dreaming of tho marquis. But It was a long while before they met again There was war between landlord and tenant In those times, nnd all Ireland was In commotion A landlord riding on a lonely road was shot; another re ceiving nn unknown visitor was found a short time afterward stabbed to tho heart. At tho height of tho trouble tho Marquis of Ballyshannon was rid Ing to his homo one evening nfter dark when he saw n figure step from the side of tho rond lnto the middle of it in front of him. On account of the troublous times ho went armed, and, drawing a pistol from his bolster, ho cocked It and aimed at tho figure in the road. "Don't shoot," came a woman's voice, spoken in a low tone. "I'm "here to warn you." "Who are you?" asked tho marquis. "I'm tho girl that mado tho cup of her two hands for you to drink from. Don't go any farther by the road. Cross tho field nnd go into your place by the rear gate." "Why should I do that?" "Two men nro wnltlng for you to kill you." The marquis made no reply to this for a few minutes. Co was thinking. Presently ho said: "I am armed. Why should I be turn ed from entering my own grounds nt tho front?" "Becnuse you'll' seo no enemy. They're concealed." Tho girl by this time was standing very near tho marquis. Bending down, ho kissed her, then turned his horse to the field, as sho had advised, nnd, crossing It, rode safely in through his rear gate. As ho was doing so ho heard n shriek. Turning, ho rode back to the rond. It was too dark for him to seo anything distinctly, but ns ho left tho field he heard a moan which seemed to come from the road on which he had entered. Then be caught sight of a dork substance lying In tho road. It was a woman. "Who Is It?" ho asked. "Kathleen." no did not know the name, but ho recognized the girl who had made the cup for him nnd had only n few min utes before saved bis life by warning him. He did not doubt that she had paid the penalty for doing so. Taklug her up In his arms, he car ried her leading his horse by the bri dle back across the field, through tho gate and Into his home. There he laid her on n lounge and sent one of his servants for n doctor. Tho girl had been hit by a bludgeon and stunned. When sho was able to give an account f what had happened, sho said that the two men who were lying In wait for the marquis came on tho ground a few minutes after ho had left the road, and, finding Kathleen and assuming that she had warned him, one of them struck her. But the other had Inter fered and saved her from what would have been n fatal blow. Hearing n horse's hoofbents andnotkudwlng who was approaching, they had mado off Just as the marquis returned. Kathleen was the daughter of a farmer. A servant maid had heard tho two men, her brothers, planning to kill tho marquis and had told her mistress. Kathleen had thus taken steps to pre vent tho murder. Kathleen was not able to leavo tho placo whero sho was cared for for somo time, and, when sho did, the marqul3 took her in his carrlago and was closeted with tho farmer, her fa ther. And this la tho story of how n slm pio country girl became tho Mnrchlon ess of Ballyshannon. Sho was much beloved by the people In her neighbor hood, for sho spent much of her time among tho poor ministering to their wants.
