It was llttlo Miss Josephine Howen Hol inan Joyoithly talkliiR to a Chicago American correspondent at No. 9.'3 North Meridian street, Indianapolis. "I was tho very first purson In tho whole world to know of SIriioi- Mur conl'B great trans-oceanic plans and I was one of the first to know of his grnnd triumph. I am the happiest woman In all the world! And tho proudest, too! "Yea, I was. the first person to know of tho trans-oceanic experiment of SIgnor Marconi. It has been a terri ble state secret with mo for a year or more. It was on this business Slg nor Marconi was coming across tho ocean when we became acquainted, I might say, with each other. He con fided to me the facts at tho tlmo, to gether with his hopes and expecta tions; but It was under the promise of strict secrecy, and I do not want to discuss thorn publicly. "Wo have set no date for mar riage. This experiment Iiub been pend ing, and we decided wo could not be married until ho had dellnltcly de elded its outcome. It has been ab sorbing all his attention, and wo are waiting until It la completed. I am, of course, rejoiced over tho success that has come to him in his wireless telegraphy across tho Atlantic ocean." Marconi himself Is not prowler of Tils triumph that tho llttlo woman who Is some day to bear bis name. In fact. It is safe to say ho is not as proud. Ho hasn't as much tlmo as sho has. Ho has work still to accomplish. Ho is on tho watch for tho lifting of fogs, tho changing of mid-oeeau currents ami a hundred other things that Jo sephine Oowen Holman knows about only In a vague way. Miss. Holman Is tho happiest woman In all the world, not only becauso tho wireless telegrapher has spanned tho sea, hut becauso sho always suld ho would. She never had a doubt of It, even when ho took the trouble to explain to her the difficulties. And now tho vic tory is hers, because well, sho ex plains tho reason herself by exclaim ing: "Didn't I always Hay so?" Indeed, who shall say that the faith of tho woman he loved has not been a potent factor in Guglielmo Marconi's success? It Is two years now since Josephine Holman first met the Inventor. They were both going to Europe. "Oh, blessed chance! I would rather marry that kind of a man than tho greatest title In tho world!" That remark Is Miss Holman's own. Probably to his dearest chum Mr. Marconi has said something of much tho same sort, for tho results of thut trip markod a happy turn In his life. Tho sort of turn that all men dream of and Bomo nover llnd. Marconi fell In love with the dearest, loveliest but that Is his story. This Is Miss Josephine Dowcn Holman's: Tt was a bleak November day In ST0RIE6 OF LISZT. Great 1'Uultt anil Cini,nler Wu "r tlcular to a Nicety. In Ills entertaining volume, "Mom orlcB of a Musical Life," Dr. William Mason tells a number of amusing anecdotes regarding the great pianist and compose', Liszt. Liszt was par ticular about the appearance of his pupils. "I remember two Instances," eays Dr. Mason, "which flhow how par ticular ho was In llttlo matters, I 189D. when she came aboard tho Amer ican liner St. Paul, without ever a thought In her mind that a young In ventor named Uugllelmo Marconi, who n couple of years before had made fiomo te.Ms In space traveling messages and wireless telegraphy. Sho was In tent on other things, the usual things that would absorb any woman start ing to go abroad for the first lmo. Good-byes were resounding In her ears, friends were wishing her good luck, men were shouting orders, flow ers wore arriving, everybody was Jost ling everybody else, till at last tho bell clanged and tho most momentous trip of MI?s Holman's life began. "It wasn't In tho least wonderful or Interesting," she said, speaking of It afterward, "except to us." But with what n world of meaning Miss Hoi mini uttered those three words! The happiest, gentlest sort of a smile crosses Mlsa Holman's face when she allows herself to talk of Mr. Mar- Hi?W conl. Sho Is not In tho habit of talk ing very much about anything alio feels deeply. At Uryn Mawr, where sho was graduated in 'DC, she used to be called Intense. Sho was one of the quiet kind that always came out at tho head of her class. Sho had a de cided literary bent, which, queerly enough, was somewhat Instrumental In fostering her acquaintance with the Inventor. But that happened later In tho trip. During tho first few days they ex changed views at odd hours when the ship was rolling and tossing, when the moon shone, when tho stars were bright, and when tho sun was obscured by clouds. Their Intercourse had all tho Infor mality of shipboard. Their conversa tions were Interlarded with: "Have you BUfilclent covering on? Wouldn't you bo more comfortable with your feet turned tho other way? Do lot me get you a baked potato! Well, I guess I'll go and havo a smoke," etc., etc. But In between these Interruptions they learned many tilings about each other that brought tuein closer and closer and that made them want to continue their friendship nfter tho other side had been reached, whon many people were content to touch ssssw have been near-sighted all my life, and when I went to Weimar I wore eye-glasses, much preferring them to spectacles. Eyeglasses wero not much worn In Germany at that tlmo and wero considered about as much affect ed as tho modo of wearing a monocle. The Germans wore spectacles. I had not been nt Weldmar long when Liszt said to me: 'Mason, I don't like to see you wearing those, glasses. I shall send my optician to fit your eyes with spectacles.' 1 hardly thought that he was serious and so paid little atton- .tt -TScg hatR and exchange a formal "Hope wee may meet again." In the couise of the week they spent together Maiconl learned that Miss Holman was a college girl and quite capable of understanding something about tho properties of other and wave motions through ether. He talked to her n bit about telegraphic communi cation thiotiRli space without connect ing wlrc3, about how ether might con duct niul carry messages aw a land wire does, about hla Instruments, his pur pose, his ambition. It was all very Interesting. The young girl looked at him with faith in her eyes-and confidence In her voice. "Oh. you will succeed," she cried from time to time; "you must." Ho found her an Intelligent, charm ing pupil. Her reassurances wero mu sic to his enrs, for he had found him self a thousand times among doubters. Becoming more and moro Interested In IiIb new pupil, Marconi suddenly dropped nil talk of hla Inventions and Insisted upon delving Into her likes and dislikes, hoc ambitions and her life. She wna going over to visit In a number of English houses. He de scribed to her what she would find. Sho told him lur hopes, her fears, her plans. They had passed from acquain tances to friends, "Just beforo we got to the Needles," Bald Miss Holman, "a point on tho south of England, Mr. Marconi set up his apparatus In tho second cabin and began sending and receiving messages Blxty-slx miles away, while tho ahlp was going at full speed. It was while tho excitement about tho Boor war was at Its height, and tho news ho got wastprlntcd In a little paper that ho is sued on shipboard." Of this little paper Marconi made Miss Holman his associate editor. It gavo them an excuse for consultations and talks that might otherwise havo required explanation. Numberless times tho proofs had to bo gone over. Every llttlo phrase required consulta tion. Tho chungo of a word became vested with great importance. Miss Holman enjoyed her literary la bors as sho had never done beforo. Per haps she did not quite guess why till Marconi explained to her tho state of his heart. Where this happoned and when neither of them will tell. "This is really and truly my Hecret," nald Miss Holman. "No ono can wrest it from mo. It's one of the things a woman doesn't want to tell anybody. It happened, that's all. Wo didn't In tend to tell anybody till wo wero ready to got married, quite ready, but some how It leaked out, and now there Is nothing to do but confess." Miss Holman needn't trouble to con fess. Anyone can read her happiness who looks Into her eyes; anyone would know she had won tho man sho loves. "I really can't toll just now how It all happened." bIio Bald. "It didn't seoni to mo It ever could be. We mot In London und talked as wo used to on board ship, only there wore no Inter ruptions except when my mother would remark gently something about our never being done, AAAAAAAA1 tlon to him. But, suro enough, about a week later thero was a knock on my door and tho optician presented him self, saying that ho had como at tho command of Dr. Liszt to cxalne my eyes and fit a pair of spectacles to thorn." Ono day Dr. Ltszt was read ing a letter In which n musician was referred to as a certain Mr. So-and-so, "Ho read that phrase- ovor two or three times," writes Dr. Mason, "and then substituted his own name for that of tho musician mentioned and re peated several times; 'A certain Mr. vWKtttr stWA vfJMfr 47 ft' yf "Of course. I havo always been In torested in his career that Is, ever since I met him. and ho told about the wonders and possibilities of other, and oh, well, I guess 1 won't say much nbout that. It's a llttlo too scientific for mo to thoroughly understand it. "But I know this," repented the hap piest woman In the world softly, "I would rather marry that kind of a man than the greatest title In tho world!"

That Sin tin lij Holler I'rnrrm Morn III Rmtlhln Tlinii (Iriiliuiu. it Is the general theory among the mnjorlty of peoplu that graham bread Is far moro digestible than that nmdo of Hour thoroughly "bolted" or sepa rated from the I) run and middlings. Such docs not appear to bo the fact, however, If we arc to credit recent ex periments of the department of agri culture. Digestion experiments wero carefully carried out with brend mndo from each of the several kinds of Hour and tho proportions of protein assim ilated and rejected by the system care fully determined. The whole wheat flours may afford a greater proportion of tho mineral nutriments, however, as thlB phaso of the subject was not studied, but as far iih tho available protein fats, carbohydrates and energy nre concerned tho patent roller flours are preferable. According to tho chem ical analysis of graham, entire wheat and standard patent Hours milled from tho samo lot of hard Scotch Klfo spring wheat the graham flour contained the highest and tho patent flour tho low est percentage of total protein. Tho results of tho digestion experiments with theso flours showed that they were available In the reverse order that Is, the standard patent roller flour afforded lesser amounts. This paradox, that the flour containing the smallest proportion of protoin should afford the greatest proportion avail able for digestion, Is explained by the coarseness of the particles of tho whole wheat varieties. Tho bran and germ of theso flours resist the action of the dlgehtlvc juices, to a great de gree and consequently pass through the system Unaltered. On the other hand, tho finely ground condition of tho patent flours Improves Its digesti bility. It was ulso shown that the ad dition of wheat starch to flour did not Improve Its bread-making qualities or the slzo of tho loaf. Tho most de sirable flour for bread-making nppears to bo ono produced by blending hard und soft wheat flours, In which the un desirable properties of tho gluten of each are counterbalanced.
