Louise said
It am to Ruth suddenly that she

to become self supporting, then she
had had to take charge of the house
f<o.d- Fie- eight years she had plated

No. she never would The girls would
go, but she would stay. Her father
and she would be old together For
her it would be a case of “crusts and
left-overs" to the end.
Hark! The man next door was
playing and singing She knew what
he was singing It was "The Mono
ton* - What a strange man he was—
or. at least. Helen said he was strange,
and she knew him better than any of
them, unless, indeed. It was her
lather Ever since he had come with
his old sister to live In the beautiful
house next door be had been kind to
them all. sharing his fruit and flowers
with them and lending the girls books

and they were always welcome Ruth

befitted her position as nominal head
of her father's household. She bad

seen, it must be so nice to have rugs

soiio l ow that she preferred the soci

gone agon
The plant next door ceased. Mr.
Marr evidently u.d not intend to sing
again Ruth wished he would When
ever she bejv t nltn playing she felt an
impulse to Ej to the old piano in the
parlor and practice with might and
main. It was a pity that her music
had cost so much and had come to
nothing.
"Miss Ruth!” A man stood bare
headed on the gTass before her. look
ing at her. a kindly smile under his
grayish mustache.
She brought her eyes down from the
moon to him with a start. "So the j
youngsters have gone and left you?" ■
he said. "I heard a commotion here a *
little while ago and suspected that the j
river had called them. It has called I
me. too. I've got a new boat down
there under the bank—the paint Is
just dry on it—oh. a beautiful boat— ,
and as my sister is as afraid of water j
as a hen I've come to see if you won't ]
go with me for a little row. A boat !
isn’t a good place to be alone in." I
"Oh. Mr. Marr!" Ruth gasped In de
light and her face bloomed in shy
radiance. "Why I've just been dying
to go—and now I can! It's so good of
you to ask me."
Oh. the wonder of the river and the
motn and the boat's motion and the
man at the oars, whose face looked
young enough and handsome enough
in the generous light! He sung to her
softly in his rich voice; he talked to
her; he told her amusing stories. And
Ruth forgot that she was timid and
lorlorn and laughed and confided in
him until it seemed that she had told
him every secret of her poor little life.
“it is a pity that you have had to
neglect your music when you love it
so." he said, "but I am sure that with
a few good lessons you could pick it
up again easily,"
"I suppose so." Ruth sighed, "but
you see 1 haven't the time.”
"Take time. Give your housekeep
ing over to your sisters." As she
stared at him in surprise he leaned
forward resting upon the oars. “Ruth,
tell me. if you could, wouldn't you
emancipate yourself by marrying
somebouy who had money and would
be good to you. Wouldn't you. dear?"
"itut—nobody- would-“
"Yes, somebody would—does. I.
Ruth. I must seem like a pretty old
fellow to you. but I believe I could
make you happy. 1 want you. dear
And my sister is willing. We have
talked it over together. It you will
marry me I can promise that you shall
never regret."
An hour later Ruth, somewhat re
covered from the excitement of re
ceding and accepting her first pro
posal. stole upstairs. As she opened
the door of her room an unusual sight j
greeted her. The girls were there 1
squatting on the floor about the open
window.
"We couldn't see the moon any- 1
«here else." Louise said. "Where !
have you been. Ruth?"
"I've been on the river," Ruth an
sw(-red. trying to keep her happy voice
steady. I went with Mr. Marr in his ■
new boat. And—and. oh. girls! 1 may j
as well tell you. I'm—he—I'm going
to marry him!"
There was an aghast silence. Then
lionise spoke.
"Weil." she said, "of course it's all
right if you love him."
"Love him!" Ruth repeated, and her
voice rang. "I adore him. girls," she
cried.
The Worst Speaker.
Assemblyman John C. Hackett of
Ne» York recently told this story in
a speech:
"‘1 was up in Rockland county last
summer and there was a banquet '
given at a country hotel. All the
farmers were there and all the vil
lage characters. I was asked to
make a speech. 'Now,* said I. with
the usual apologetic manner, 'it is not
fair to you for the toastmaster to ask
me to speak. I am notorious as the
worst public speaker in the state of
New Yotk. My reputation extends
from one end of the state to the
other 1 have no rival whatever when
it comes—’ 1 was interrupted by a
lanky, ill-clad individual, who had
stuck too close to the beer pitcher.
“ "Gentlemen.' said he. 'I take "cep
tion to what this here man says. He
ain’t the worst public speaker in the
state. 1 am. You all know it. an* I
want it made a matter of record that
I took "ception." 'WeU, my friend.’
said I. "suppose we leave it to the
guests. Y"ou sit down while I say my
piece and then I'll sit down and let
you give a demonstration." The fel
low agreed, and I went on. 1 hadn't
gone far when he got up again. ‘ 'S
all right.' said he, 'you win: needn't
go no further.’"—Cleveland Leader.
Ancient Bank Note.
At the Bank of England privileged
v.sitors are sometimes shown the
oldest known bank note for £555.
with the date "19th Xber. 1699." The
memoranda written across the note
show that payment was made by three
instalmenta The bank notes of that
period were printed from engraved
plates, blank spaces being left for the
dste. the signature, tbe number and
the amount The watermark can be
clearly seen and in texture and gen
eral appearance the notes were very
similar to those of to-day. It was not
until 179? that bank notes were issued
under £5 in value.
ANOTHER GERMAN INSTITUTION IN PALESTINE
w
T/1E KMMERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA HOSPICE OH THE MOUNT OFOLIVES. |
WHAT the English papers call "the Germanizing of Jerusalem' has attracted much attention In Europe of
late years. Emperor William has displayed great Interest In the well-being of Palestine and large
numbers of his subjects are settled there. Under his patronage several large institutions have been
opened, the latest being the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria hospice on the Mount of Olives, which was for
mally dedicated recently by Prince Eitel Friedrich, the kaiser's second son, and his wife. It is a sani
torlum for invalid Germans in the Holy Land.
500 FOOT AIRSHIP
Vessel Will Be Ready for Prelim
inary Trials in June.
Work on the Largest Aerial Craft Is
Rapidly Drawing Near Comple
tion—Ribs Constructed of
New Metal.
London.—The new airship for the
British navy is rapidly nearing com
pletion at the works of Vickers. Sons
& Maxim at Barrow-in-Furness. It
will be the largest, one of the fastest
and the most powerful airship In the
world. Its great gas-containing body,
built up rigidly with a new metal
which is far stronger and only a trifle
heavier than aluminum, will be 500
feet long and 50 feet In diameter, as
against the 446 feet in length of the
monster Zeppelin type of airships
The garage, which faces the sea. Is
600 feet long and 100 feet broad.
Gangs of men are now busy con
structing a great ‘•cradle.” Vpon this
th' airship will rest as it is pieced to
gether. Practically every part of the
airship is now ready, and only awaits
the assembling process. The plan has
been to distribute the making of the
various section over all departments
of Messrs. Vickers. Sons & Maxim’s
works. By this means it has been
possible to preserve great secrecy con
cerning all Important details of con
struction.
Work Is also about to commence
upon a special launchway from which
the airship will take flight Its trials
will be carried out over the sea. It Is
designed, in fact, for sea scouting The
airship's permanent quarters will be
on the northeast coast, and it will be
called upon to cruise for days at a
stretch along the coast line and out to
sea. With this work in view, relia
bility in stormy weather has been one
of the chief aims in the airship's con
struction.
The method of fitting together the
sections of the airship's tremendous
hull is particularly interesting. As
one metal section follows another in
position around the sides of the ship
the whole of the hull can be made to
revolve upon its cradle for the con
venience of the fitters.
Its remarkable size will enable the
airship to raise into the air a weight
of close upon 20 tons. Its two 200
hcrse-power petrol engines, which
have already b-en subjected to tests
for reliability, will give it a consider
able speed through the air. It is hoped.
: in fact, that it will attain 45 miles an
hour under fair conditions.
It was at first intended that the
metal ribs and rigid sections of the
; hull should be built of aluminum. But
since the first plans were made the
constructors have discovered a new
metal alloy. It is said to be nearly
: seven times as strong as aluminum
ar.d only very slightly heavier.
It now seems probable that the air- j
I ship will be ready for its preliminary
, trials In June or July next—the time
I mentioned by Mr. KcKenna in the
; house of commons not long ago.
FIRST PUT EGGS TO DEATH
Then They Will Keep. Declares Elec
trician, After Some Interesting
Experiments.
Rochester. N. Y—"No one still deny
that fresh laid eggs, kept in cold stor
age for indefinite periods, .ose their
palatabiUty.” T. H. Yawger, superin
tendent of the electrical department
of the Rochester Lighting company,
announced as the result of his experi
ments.
"This is because the eggs are slowly
froren to death." he continued "Kggs
should be killed the same as animal
food, and the way to kill them ts by
electrocution.
"Put an end to the life of embryo
chickens by sending 500 volts of elec
tricity through the shell. Kggs thus
electrocuted preserve their natural
fresh taste, ar.d do not lose it even by
a long retirement in storage.
"There is so much life in the or
dinary fresh laid egg that it takes 500
volts to kill it."
He Is now- experimenting with lob
sters and oysters, believing it to be
more humane to electrocute them than
to boil or roast them alive.

Reports From Dealers Show Sales
Amount to Several Million
Dollars Yearly.
Harrisburg, Pa.—Returns to tbe
state fisheries department, under the
new law requiring reports from fisher
I men and fish dealers, indicates that
’ the business amounts to several mil
lion dollars a year in Pennsylvania.
State Fish Commissioner William E
Meehan, in his annual report just pre
j pared, says that as this was the first
i year in which the act was in opera
j tion. and as his means for enforcing it
are limited, the returns were meager,
j except as to the fishing industry of

Australian Beef in London
May Compete With United States and
Argentina—Importance of Ex
periment Threefold.
London.—Australia Is determined at
Iasi to make an effort to capture from
America some of the meat trade wth
England. There is at present only
one ship, and that a “wind jammer.”
engaged in the trade. This ship, the
Marathon, has just completed her sec
ond voyage with a consignment of
chilled meat from Australia, but the
arrival on this occasion is much more
notable than on previous occasions,
for the reason that whereas the first
voyage occupied 62 days, the present
trip has taken 67 days, the vessel
having een delayed owing to the
Australian coal strike. To land beef
in England in perfect condition after
a voyage of nearly ten weeks is con
sldered something of an achievement,
and it is likely to ‘naugurate a new
scheme for the supply of Britain wtth
empire grown beef and at the same
time help the Australian meat ex
porters.
It is pointed out that the Impor
tance of the experiment Is threefold.
It will give Great Britain a new
source of fresh meat sap ply. and so
bring her less under the control of
the froxen meat trust; It will permit
Australia to compete for the chilled
beef trade with Great Britain, up to
the present moropolized by the
I'nited States and Argentine, and it
will give the Australian meat com
panies, who have been sending their
meat shipments to England in a fro
zen state, a large margin of profit,
because there Is a difference in value
between chilled and frozen meat in
London of about two cents a pound.
Ar present the American companies
have practically a monopoly of the
meat supplies at Smithfleld market.
London, and have been making of late
a bold Md to dominate both entirely.
Steamers are at present being built
with the Idea of bringing regular sup
plies of Argentine chilled beef to
Smithfleld market every Monday
morning—an arrangement which the
Australian chilled beef experiment, if
properly followed up. may rather se
riously disturb, for it will mean that
no longer will the Americans enjoy
a monopoly.

valued at $3,853.10, which Commission
er Meehan says is only a fraction of
the carp business He estimates that
more than 42.000 pounds of carp were
sent to Philadelphia from Illinois alone
during 1909
The I.ake Erie fish Industry In Penn

says the few returns from the towns
exclusive of Philadelphia, Pittsburg
and Erie, indicate a retail business of
between $800,000 and $1,000,000 s

The retail fish trade of Pittsburg Is

Now, What Is Ginger Ale?
New and Puzzling Problem for Fed
eral Pure Food Board to Solve
—Contains Capsicum.
Washington.—'“What Is ginger ale?"
became a burning Issue at the de
partment of agriculture today when
30 or 40 manufacturers of bottled soda
beverages appeared before the Board
of Food and Drug Inspection to dis
cuss proposed regulation for labeling
their goods.
Although there was a long list of
questions to be considered, hours
were given to discussing the labeling
of ginger ale. The bone of contention
was whether ginger ale was the prop
er label for a beverage which con
tained an Indefinite amount of capsi
cum. With a few exceptions, the
manufacturers said capsicum was con
tained In their product. It was con
tended that capsicum was not danger
ous to health, and as long as the con
sumer was satisfied, the tnanufactur
era should be permitted to procure the
pungency desired by the use of that j
ingredient.
The hearing brought out the state
ments of varying tastes In different!
sections of the United States as far'
as ginger ale Is concerned. One man
ufacturer asserted that New Eng
land demanded a smaller amount of
pungency than the south.
