O J n n -n o n A Lesson ES. ItoVUII, was at home not to all the world, but to th se lect few who happened to in terest her lu that particular year of Igrace. There wen.' no old friends amou them. Mrs.. Bovrill bad .feu old friends, and she did nut encourage them. She used to say they were like old u-TvauU. and became impudent as time went on. Besides, she liked a change, and the men - well. It ouly took an Intelligent nmn three weeks to tind her out. There were usually aliout four wom en In the room, and they were careful ly chosen for their ugliness and pa tlent dispositions. Every one said she hired them to lrrita'.e the wen and in crease their longing to escape to her side. It was certainly an understood thing at Mrs. 4ovril's that only one man wits to sit by her at a time. She gave each one his turn, if he deserved It, and expected him to serve his seven years cheerfully iu another corner of the room. That they were content to do this it) a proof of the wonderful fas cination she exercised over her ad mirers To-day, however, the young men rubbed 'heir eyes and stared. What was Mra. Bovril thinking of? There ' wan a young and beautiful woman lan guidly sipping tea on Mrs. Bovril's own particular sofa; she must have got in by accident, or force, or guile. Their hoste would never have been so fool ish as to ask a possible rival. They were mistaken, bowever. She had been the subject of a special invi tation The fact was Mrs. Pauneeforte Dearie was then? to leant. She had not long been married, and had lived "TOV BKALI.r MUST HAVE SOME AD M1REBS." In the. country ail her life. Mrs. Bov ril had taken pity on her ignorance, and had asked ber round to show her how things ought to be done. "My dear," she bad said some days previously, "you really must have some admirers." ""I have my husband." Mrs. Deane had replied with provoking innocence. jYour husband? Yes, of course. So have I. But if your husband , is the only, man who is going to admire you, you will soon lose your attractiveness 'In bis eyes. Men like their wives to be run Mfter. It gives them the pride of possession. They like to think that they have got what other men are longing for?" i '"And what other men may take from ' them Is it not rather dangerous, Mrs. Bovril r , "How seriously you take everything. Child.' There is no harm." ' "Not in playing with fire?" "fire? , fiddlesticks!. Come round on Tuesday. , I have a few people in. You. will like them, I expect. .They are rather different to the ordinary people, and I don't want all of them for my self." ' Mrs. Deane had laughed. But she was' a girl, and liked something new, so she came round. Mrs. Bovril was kind, gave ber the Second test man and . the best seat, and told ait the others how charming , aba was. "Fresh from the country, you know, A-lgy," she 'murmured, 'where all the beautiful cows are, and buttercups and things'' Isn't she lovely?" Algy was fool' enough to say "Yes." so he" was packed off before bis time Ira- up, and he made things so tin pleasaat. all round the other sido of tbe room that the people dropped off one by one, aud soon Mrs. Bovril and Mrs. Deaue were left alone. . ' "Weil, my dear," said Mrs. Bovril. when Algy, who had staid to see all tbe others driven out, had gone, "bow have you l"eu getting ou?" "I don't think my husband will have ay cause to be Jealous," Mrs. Deane replied, leaning back In a more com fortable position than she had hitherto allowed herself. ' "Dear uv how unfortunate you are. ,Ta don't, know bow to treat them, Ijran attly child. You should have I Watched me. A lot can lie done iu Oat way ' I suppose you talked aixmt fcaaha.

There is nothing a young man likes so much iu a married woman as domestic sorrows." "But I haven't any," Mrs. Deane said, pulling a rose to pieces and dropping the leaves Into a teacup. "(If course Jiut. But it Is so easy to suggest wune. I believe Algy Dawson thinks that Mr Bovril beats me." "Did you tell him so?" cried Mrs. I tea tie in disgust. "No, you goose, but I always look extremely sad, and then brighten up when lie collies and sits by me. It makes him think he is tbe one bright spot in my dark am! desolate life. Of course he likes to think that." And Mrs. Bovril laughed till she .spilt some tea over her new frock. "How insincere you people of the city are." said Mrs. Deaue, with a demure look on Iter face. Then a mischievous light Hashed ''into her eyes and she cried. "What fun!" "Yen, dear. You see what yen have missed iu the country; but, as I say, you can learn a lot from me." "Do teach me. Mrs. Bovril," the girl said eagerly. "I think I think I should lie a good pupil." "A great deal rests with yourself, of course," replied Mrs. Bovril. Mrs. Deane turned her head a little. Just a little, towards the mirror, and smiled. "Just a few hints, though," she plead ed. "They would be acceptable. You have had such experience." "I can ouly repeat what I have said. Be personal. Personalities are the ouly proper topics of conversation between a man aud a woman. You cannot be too personal. It Is better even to be rude than to talk about bicycles." "Please go on." cried Mrs. Deane, clasping her knees with her hands and leaning forward. "Well, you can talk about other men if you like. Not In terms of abuse that Is inartistic but as if they didn't matter.. It institutes pleasant mental comparisons in the man's mind. It Is only verjtil comparisons that are odious." Mrs. Deane jumped up. "I must go, Mrs. Bovril. I could listen to you all day. O, you are clever. But isn't It all just-just a little wrong?" Mrs. Bovril rose too and kissed her. "Silly chil'd, do you think any of us are deceived?" "Might not those who did not know" Mrs. Deane said demurely. "Young. Inexperienced people; might they not be deceived, and and " "They soon learn, dear," Mrs. Bovril sighed, aud looked away. Mrs. Deane wondered how she had learned, and if the lesson had been a pleasant one. "Good-by, Mrs. Bovril. and thank you so much. I have half a mind to try some day." And she laughed round the corner of the door and was gone. A month afterwards Mrs. Paunce forte Deane found Mrs. Bovril alone In her drawing room her "schoolroom," Mrs. Deane always called it. After a few greetings Mrs. Bovril aim; to the point. "Has It been a success, dear?" she cried. Mrs. Deaue nodded, and gave a smile suspiciously like one of triumph. 'Sit down, dear, and tell me all a!out it. Mrs. Bovril smiled encouragingly and began to pour out some tea. "Well, first of all, who Is he?" Mrs. Deane blushed. "O, I don't think I ought to tell you that He he is married, and it might ' "Well, well, it doesn't matter," she replied, sharply. "All men are the same. You are young yet, aud will soon get over that feeling. 1 don't understand It myself, and you and 1 are also married for that matter." Mrs. Deane looked relieved. "I was afraid you would be vexed," she said, "would think I had perhaps gone too far. I am so glad you don't see any harm in it." "Is he sufficiently fascinating?" Mrs. Bovril asked. "That Is the thing. That, in fact. Is the ouly excuse." "He is one of the most charming men I have ever met." replied Mrs. Deaue with fervor. Then she looked on the floor .and spoke .more slowly.' "So st roup, so self-reliant, aud, poor man, so unhappy" "In his wife, I suppose. Of course! don't you remember what I told you?" There was a slight sneer on Mrs. Bov- ril's face. "Yes, I remember," she replied. "I have profited by It. After, what you told me no man could deceive me. Hut he-l am sure be is speaking the truth. There!" and she drew herself up de fiantly. ' "Of course. d'ar, of course," Mrs. Bovril said soothingly, and laughed be hind ber hnudkerchlef. "His wife neglects hltn flirts with other men," Mrs. Deane went on In dlgniinlly. "I kuow she does." "Of course, dear, They all do. Didu'l I tell you so?" "Hut It Is different In this case." "Why? I don't suppose she means anything, any more than you or I do." "He thinks she does," Mrs. Deane blurted out, "so it's just as bad - for him." Mrs. Hovrll laughed softly. "For him? Whose fault Is that? But I won't destroy yonr Illusions. You am young, and I suppose you want some earn." "Not for my conduct. I am merely merely doing what you bare taught aw. It Is all la fun." "Bat for bin. Ton want an excuse for his noadaet Is he so mack la eara est?" Mrs. Bovril began to be sorry for the man aud a bit ashamed of ber,1 own share In the matter. She record ered, however. "You sweet. Innocent thing." she continued, "you will soon learn that nothing is ever done In earn est.". Mrs. Deane' rose and smiled. "Per haps," she said sweetly, "perhaps I may some day attain to your position, Mrs. Hovrll. As yet I am too young. I am sorry for the harm I have done." "You ridiculous child, you have done no barm. Must you be going? Good by, dear. He will get over it. I am rather proud of my pupil's success. Is he really so much In earnest. Poor fellow is b! It will do lilm good"' Mrs. Deane moved towards the door. "I thluk." she said quietly, "that Mr. Bovril is one of the best hearted, most " Mrs. Bovril rose and knocked down a plate. "Mrs. Pauneeforte Deaue!' she said with some dignity. "O. Mrs. Bovril, I am so sorry." There was a sly twinkle in her eye all the same. "I thought you said there was no harm. I didn't think you would mind. Your pupils must 'practice, you know. It was only in fun- ah, I see li all now." "What do you see," Mrs. Bovril said sharply. "That one can look at it from quite another point of view." As a matter of fact, Bovril said that he had never even, met Mrs. Paunce forte Deane, and I am not quite sure that the poor man was not speaking the truth. He ought, however, to be thankful to her. Mrs. liovril does not give lessons In flirtation now. Chicago Tribune. "JUMPED" BY A MOOSE. Easy Enough for the Animal, but Hard for the City Man. What it did was easy enough for the moose, but a little bit hard for the city man. The moose, perhaps driven down by the storm, seemed bound to get Into the cedar thickets, like the white tailed deer, and it led us a merry chase, worming In and out among the snow-covered trees. Need less to say, we were soon thoroughly wetted with the snow, which fell from the trees on our Decks aud shoulders, but, of course, one doi-s not mind a little thing like that, says a writer in Forest and Stream. The interest of the chase kept us warm. We could see that we were getting closer and closer to our game. Presently we could see that we were getting very close. At last we saw where we had gotten within 100 yards of it. There was the story. A deep pit, as though a great liorse bad lain there. "Jumped," said Adam. "Sure," said I. Then we sat down and thought It over for a while. We went on some more, and presently we came across two more moose tracks, a big one and a little one, probably a cow and a calf, as Adam thought We were then three miles from the camp, and It was not too late iu the day, so we thought we would follow on and see what this bunch would do to us. They did pret ty much the same as the young bull had done. We followed these tracks through all kinds of country, saw where the animals had fed in among the willows and alders, and on the roundwood, and finally puzzled out their trail until we knew that we were getting very close. This time we were near Indeed to seeing our moose. We were perhaps not fifty yards away when we came to a couple more big holes In the snow, and some more reg ular boles lieyond. Jumped again! There was the story, plain enough. This time we might almost have heard the bushes rattle as we went out. As we stood there we heard a hoarse, harsh, curious kind of coughing bark, Adam laughed. "That old lady Is just wondering what In the world It was that scared her," said he. "She Is frightened", but' Is not exactly sure what it Is that frightened her. Just listen' to her." Once, twice aud again that same coughing bark cane back to us. Then all was still, tied we were again all alone In the wblte wilderness, . We concluded that we would go. home after that. Cut Both Ways. "I .want my hair cut,' and do talk," said a 10-stone man, with un I-own-the-eartb air,' as In" walked Into a Swindon barber's shop and sat down. "Tin- " commenced the man In tl apron. - - "So talk, I. tell you!" shouted Ibe heavy Tian. "Just a plain hair cut I've read all the papers, and don't want any news. Start right away, tew." Tbe man In the apron obeyed. When he bad finished, the man who knew everything rose from his cbalr and surveyed himself In the glass. "Great Scott!" he exclaimed. "It's really true, then Y,ou barlers can't do your work properly unless you talk." "I don't know," said the man In the apron quietly. "You must ask the biirlwr. He'll be In presently. I'm the glazier from next door." London An swers. Gelling Kvein with the Mauri. A mnn condemned to death recently in France was asked, according to cus tom, which he would prefer for his last meal.

It Is not In the South that the rich est negroes are found, although many In that 'region have amassed a goodly store of property since the war. lxmbt less the wealthiest community of col ored people In the world Is found among the Creek Indians la .Indian Territory. There are about 7,000 of them, und they are worth on an aver age f 3,000 each. The wealth of the more Industrious foots up ever higher, certain Individuals being the owners of from $10,000 to $15,000 worth of land' each. These negroes ' lire the descendants of slaves of the Creejt tribe of Indians and are known. a-s Creek negroes. Tbey are entitled b, a, share. In the division of Creek-.IidlsB lands also a purt of the trust .funds. Together the 7,000 ne groes, own 2'J,"o'Umj 'acres of land And yet their "educa'lion Is far from comph-te. Their' sV'htl enylconmculs are crude In the extfeme and ogress goes slowly amid 'their huts and fields. Unlike the other- Indians of the rich flVe civilized trlUojt the Creeks Insist ed ulon freeing tbeJr slaves to give them an equal shae In their lands and money. At that time there were few slaves, but the number grew through descendsbts, until now fully 7.000 have laid successful claim to a "liead right" on the Creek rolls of citizenship. They have their own representatives In the Creek Indian Ieglsjnture, their own schools and their own churches. . Ev erything bids fair to make them the tnodi-l community of negroes In the United States when Indian territory is recovering from the tangle wilderness of reconstruction, Its laws made uni form and Itself a State of the Union. There Is little culture among the Creek negroes. Tbey have a social set all tbelr own, to which not eve-n the Indiana are Invited. Their charac terlstlcs are In a great measure dlffis ent from the negro of the South or tbe North. It Is a mixture of both, with additional peculiarities. Like tbe Indiana, these negroes have their dances la tba often, which have coma to be a sort of sellglon with tbsm. And, following la tbe footsteps of tha Southern Negro, they have bar bscttsa, 'possum huaU and tba Ilka. Am I- . a Northern type of the negro they art more Industrious and Independent of the whites, know bow to work bard and save their money, and, like th type from the city, are well dressed -gaudily, but at the same time wear lug expensive clothes. These 7.000 Creek negroes live In s tract of rich land called the Canadian Kiver bottoms, and Okmulgee is tbeli town and trading point. Okmulgee If the capital of the Creek Indian nation, and has been for years a negro town. Itecetrtly, howevw, white people flock ed in and have taken possession. Th negroes are starting their own town along the branch of the Frisco Bail road. Notwithstanding that many of thest Creek negroes are Industrious, there are some nmong them who rent ou1 their estates and lounge lu ldlenesi about the railway stations. It is a common sight to see a 500-aere trat of rich land in the Canadian bottomt iM'iug tilled by a white man. Invariably,-upon Inquiry as to his landlord, he will refer to the negro owner In nc complimentary terms. Meanwhile one will find the owner shooting craps ot enjoying himself eating turkey an5 'possum lu n ueighlxirlng village. When the Creeks freed their negroet lu 1NM the two fraternized for a time, and even Intermarried, but that hat all passed now. In accordance with the terms granting their freedom, the Creek negroes are allowed a voice Id the tribal government, and so they have their own nicmliers In the Conn cil, have their own schools aud all that; but the Creek Indian finds above the Creek negro and refuses to asso ciate with him. -M- I Etiquette of J the Handkerchief "Your handkerchief Isn't a wasb rag," said a patleut mother the otliet day when she caught her daughter in the midst of a dry cleaning. The daughter naturally saw no reason fot the comment. "Everybody does It," she said. "So they do," responded the mother "but other people's rudeness Is no ex cuse for yours." Yet the next time the mother went shopping she stopped In front of an elevator looking-glasi long enough to mop some smudgei from ber nose. It has so come about, through the constant showering of soft coal soot Id Chicago streets, that the handkerchief is here used for a face mop. Go where you will. In whatever class of society and to whatever kind of gathering and you will find people mopping, surrep titiously perhaps, but neverthelest mopping. The inevitable smudge nev er fails to call forth a surprised con sternatlon and the consternation un consciously hides behind the folds of a handkerchief. Be it lace or linen, or Just common cotton, no handkerchief is too good foi this service. The ornamental suuar which Is tucked In at the belt of a dinner gown or bidden away In a sleeve Is not too good for it. neither it the generous cambric which shows iti corners above the breastpocket of a toj coat. Despite the abuse which the hand kerchief is thus obliged to endure, II is an ornamental and graceful pieet of furniture. -It was not meant to lx argued with, yet It gives itself klndlj to that service. It is used by th actress as a signal of distress and It the nervous bands of an emotlona. woman It is a safe barometer of hei sympathies. It Is a school girl's trick to chew 1h corners of a handkerchief, yet that too, has Its mitigation. It is undoubt edly rude to play with a handkerchief, no matter what the, provocation, yel she who manipulates a handkerchief with the grace of long assoclatlor laughs at this rule of etiquette. B she would assume an Innocent all there Is nothing she will more quickly nndertakc than this same by-play wltl ber handkerchief. She flirts with hei handkerchief and bld-s her embarrass ment behind It sdu weeps into It ani makes it altogether tbe roost usefu! bit of finery thttt her toilet possesses. Cbleago CbroDicle.

Borbet and Flamtnarlon have been demoustratiug the earth's rotatvm in l'aris. A lead ball of fifty-six potiud is attached to a fine piano wire about '.Mo feet long. The oscillation lasts sixteen seconds. The explosion motor holds the palm for lightness. The best electric molor with Its storage battery Is stated to weigh nearly one hundred pounds to the horse power, and the Scrpollct steam engine, flashing water Into steam from a coil Isiiler, about four teen pounds. But the I'.ourdiuux gaso line engine gives a horse power with a weight of only eight pounds. The new self luminous mixture of a French chemist, claimed to require only very short exposure to light and to be tiuuu:illy brilliant and lasting, consists of twenty pints of dehydrated sodium carbonate, five of sodium chlo ride, one of magnesium sulphate, five hundred of strontium carbonate and loO of sulphur. The wi ll mixed ma terials are kept at a white heat for three hours in a muflle from which the air Is carefully excluded. In his experiments with various ve hicles, M. Michelln has found that iron tires require greater motive power than either solid rublier or pneumatic Au electric automobile running ut 5 per cent greater speed with pneumatic lires took l1 mt cent less power than when fitted with solid rubber tires, and in stopping, the solid tires re quired an Increase of 14 per cent in braking power. In the singular failure of the old windows of York Cathedral, the glass has lost most of Its transparency, and In places hag become so ficrforateil that It crumbles at the slightest touch. To slop the "disease" some glass of the thirteenth imd fourteenth centu ries has been removed. It Is known that the hardest cement is sometimes disintegrated by chemical nctiou set up by minute organism, and it is sup posed that the destruction of the glass has been due to some fungus. Owing to the property which alumi num possesses of .producing a Very high temperature when burned with substances that give off oxygen. It has lately bis-u employed in Berlin for making n new detonator, for firing ex plosives w hich do not readily respond to the action of the detonating com positions hitherto used. The alumi num Is used iu the shape of a powder mixed with the other substances fill ing the percussion caps or detonators. The sudden high temperature induced by the pulverized aluminum results In a greater mechanical energy than can be produced with compositions not con. tabling aluminum. The adoption of liquid In place of solid fuel has not taken place so rap idly us some experimenters anticipat ed. In the opinion of Edwin I.. Orde of the British Institution of Mechan ical Engineers, the trouble arises from the exclusive use In boiler furnaces of crude oil, which contains a consider able percentage of water, 10 per cent ut least; and this destroys the condi tions necessary for perfect combus tion. It is livened that some of the crude oil shipped from the wells con tains ns much as 40 per cent of water, and when used on shipboard the con stant agitation prevents the separation of this water, which consequently en ters the furnaces. The experiments ot Dr. I'aul show that liquid fuel Is capa ble of giving W) per cent more effl. cleney than the best coal. "Took It" Literally. Once upon a time a very nervoui man called on his physician and asked blm for medical udvlce. "Take a tonic, and dismiss from your mind all that tends to worry you," said the doctor. .
