" Jack wns almost the only man she knew well who had not proposed to her. Men had fallen before her clinnnii , had nald their little piece ( and some enld It rather well , she had to admit to herself ) , and gone their way , ami until now no man had really been able to trouble her serenity. "Do think of something , .luck , " ttho pleaded. "It's been three monllm now elnco ho ho" "Since he said the momentous words which made him not yours , eh ? " And Ormaby laughed , but his hands trem bled as he shifted the cane a little. "Don't bo absurd ! lie doesn't want me any more than other men do. " "Whew ! Your serene conceit Is cer tainly charming , Essie. " "Don't bo unkind. You know It's true , " she said calmly. "Any woman ( with llurfy hair and blue eyes can bring men to her feet Only you don't get foolish and propose to me , Jack. " "Xo , 1 don't propose to you , " ho said quite calmly. "And that's why I like you. " "Then I'll try not to make you dls- like me. Hut what cnn I do to poor Hallo well ? A cat may look at a king" Hut Esther Interrupted snap , pishly.

But how about well , not ex- nctly leading him on to proposing but"- She favored him with a frigid look. "I beg your pardon , Mr. Ormsby , " she observed. "Well , you needn't , " ho snld quietly. "You cxpyct plain talk from people ( whose advice you ask , don't you ? No man will over ask a woman to marry him If she doesn't glvo him the oppor tunity. " "That Is different ; hut such remarks ns you are making now arc hardly In the nature of advice , Jnck. " "Well , I don't see that there's much you can do , " he drn\\'lcd , and his eyes began to twinkle. "There seem to be but two courses to pursue , and two lonly"- "Oh , hero's your Sultan and the run- nbout ! " suddenly cried Esther , clap ping her hands and springing up. "Arc you going to take mo to ride , Jack ? " "Well , It's what I came around for , but your tnlc of woe about knocked it out of my head. " The negro from the stable leaped out and held the big bay's head. Es ther ran down to the gate , forgetting the beruflled parasol lying on the ve randa * Ormsby followed lazily. "Feeling pretty gay , isn't he , Jack son ? " he asked , pulling on a glove and looking at Sultan , who danced charm ingly to the accompaniment of little squeals of delight from Esther. "Yes , sab ; he do , sab. " "Hop lu , Essie , " Ormsby snld , holdIng - Ing out ills hand to assist her. Then be added , "Speaking of angels , there's Hallowell now. " A fresh faced young fellow cantered by on n ( hie horse and lifted his hat seriously. A little way beyond he pulled In the animal and dismounted as though he would come back to speak to thecouple at the runabout. "Do hurry up ! " exclaimed Esther un der her breath. "What shall I do to get rid of him. Jack ? You said there were two ways. Whnt are they ? " "Well , " > tad Ormsby buttoned the glove slowly and put one foot on the step of the runabout , "you might mar ry him to get rid of him. " "No. thank you ! " she exclaimed , pouting and tossing her bend. Then shs. started and looked toward the bouse. "Oh , Jaek-uiy parasol ! I shall want It. " ' Ormsby hnd already leaned forward 1p seize the reins. He glanced at the colored man. "Miss Dingley's parasol Is ou the veranda , Jackson , " he said. The mr.n dropped Sultnn'B bridle. I.Ike a flunk the bay threw up bis head and started. The linen had not been quite within Orniuby'H jrasp. His foot slipped from the step.

Hut the IIOI'HO knew Instantly that an unfamiliar hand held the rcliiH , and he Increased his trot to a gallop. Esther told herself that she would not be frightened , and she drew the lines In llrmly and said "Whool" Hut Sultan saw no reason for "whoa- Ing" Just their * There was n long stretch of dimly , mtnllt roiul before him , and he seized the bit In his strong teeth and bolted. He Hew by Hallo- well's mount with n rush and set that creature to dancing. Hallowell hung ou to the leather and stared with round eyes after the runaway. Ills astonishment was vastly Increas ed when a second whirlwind reached him. Ormsby went at him as though he was playing football. lie snatched the bridle from Hallo- well's hand , and that young man wns sent rolling In the dust ns Jnck lenpcd astride and set the now frightened ani mal after the bolting Sultan. The road for a mile was clear , hut where It Joined the boulevard beyond Ormsby knew the runaway would hurst Into a tangle of carriages of all descriptions , and the end would bo se rious. IIo didn't know much about the HoundncHs of HullowoU's mount , but he would have made an asthmatic old car horse do stunts Just then. Ulco the wind ho rode , and his mount's nose soon came up to Esther's shoulder. Koot by foot he gained on Sultan , and then , with n swift dive , Otnishy seized the reins , which Esther had continued to cling to with all her little might. A strong pull on both horses , and Sultan Instantly recognized the fact that all his fun was over. He slowed down and in half n block , and Just before the Junction with the boulevard , stopped , ns gentle nsalnmb. Kor a minute they gazed at each other. "Well , " Ormsby said at last , "you came near escaping the pursuit of the vlllhln that time , Essie , for good and all. " Esther's eyes grew luminous. "And you dared suggest that I marry him I" she said , catching her breath. "Well , you know there was an alter native. " "And that Is ? " still looking at him. "That you might marry me to get rid of him. That that would he effectual , wouldn't It ? " Another breath of silence , and then Esther murmured , "Well , Jack , dear , wo might try It ! " Hot IlnthH. A German physician advocates in n German paper the frequent taking of hot baths. These , he urges , are much more healthful than the cold plunge , which he thinks few systems can stand. The water should be at a temperature In the beginning of 10S degrees l \ , this ta be Increased until the wnter Is ns hot ns can he borne. The length of the llrst bath should not be more than five minutes , and at no time should it be longer than Itj agreeable with no sense of discomfort apparent. The writer cites In support of his theory the practice common In Japan among all classes of Its people of taking these hot baths. The porter walking along with his load and fatigued to the point of exhaustion , drops it for ten minutes while he takes a hot bath at some public bathhouse. He emerges re freshed and strengthened and goes on his way rejoicing. The writer considers that there Is no danger of taking cold after a hot bath and does not even advocate the use of a cold shower to follow the bath. Hot water is known to be nn excellent cos metic for the face , nnd It is only fair to assume that Its revival of skin tissue Is not couflned to that part of the body. Unfortunate Chicken * . A farmer who has tried Shanghai fowls and found them wanting gives the following account of their peculiar ities. Their true name , he says , is "shank high , " and he pronounces them rightly named. They have no body at nil , and when the head Is cut off the legs come right apart. 1 don't see bow they can sit on their eggs. My Jnckknlfc can sit us well as they can. They don't sit on the roost the same as other chickens do ; not n bit of It. When they attempt to sit us other chickens do , they full olT backward. They sit when they cut , I know , for I'vo scon "em do it. And I've seen "em try to cat standing , but they couldn't fetch it , for when they peck at a grain of corn on the ground they don't more'u half reach it , but their head bobs right between their legs and makes 'cm turn a complete somerset. I'd us soon see a pair of tongs or compasses walking about my yard ns these shank highs. They crow , too , a long tlino before day , when it isn't day , probably be cause their legs are so long that they can sec daylight long before a common chicken can. The Beat Bide.

' "In Ifitll a Flanders woman , Frnu Van dor Plnsse , came to London nnd established there n school for the teaching of starching. The school suc ceeded. The Flanders frail got rich. She charged 5 n lesson nnd an extra 20 shillings for a recipe for the making of starch out of wheat Hour , bran and roots. "Yellow was the most fashionable color In starch among the nobility.

Flrnt Offered For Hnle nt the Pnl * of liclpnla In 1721. Dresden china began its reign at the fair of Lclpslc , 1721 , where it was of fered for public sale for the flrst time. It has had three periods King's , Mar- collno nnd modern nnd for nil around use it continues to be the most popular ware of this day. The fuctory marks traced on the bottom tom of cnck piece vnry nccordlng to tko period the oldest ( King's ) being tko monogram A. H. nnd tke wand of JEs- culaplus. Tko familiar crossed swords , wltk tko dot or cliclo between tko kan- dlcs , were flrst used in 1721 , and tke star took the place of tko dot in the Marcollnc period. Tko modern murk is the simple crossed swords , sometimes accompanied by letters nnd numbers. Although the methods of work nro still Jealously guarded lu all fnctorlcs , the essentials nro nu open secret , nnd tke following rough outline may satis fy the lazily curious : The ingredients of porcelain arc kaolin feldspar , sand and sclenlte. These nro ground flno nnd mixed In llmewntcr. The paste Is then molded into forms and fired in nn oven of moderate licut. When taken out , it is In nu opaque state and is then dipped in the glnzc , whlch ls feldspar ground line , wltk n little alkali. It is now sub jected to a tiring of great bent , which results in the beautiful polished sur face so familiar the world over. This second firing is attended with risk , for if the piece is allowed to re main beyond the exact proper moment the whole melts together and is ruiucd. How n ( ilnita Kye Actii. A glass eye has never bo free n ran go of movement as the real one , nud when the owner turns bis eyes strongly in any direction the glnss eye lugs behind the other , so producing n squint. Then the pupil of the glnss eye is of course Li u fixed size , while the natural pupil dilates and contracts not only with varying amounts of light , but with varying emotions. Then ngnln the white of tke eye vnrles in tint grcntly from day to day , being slightly blood shot during headaches and yellow dur ing bilious attacks. The differences in color between the two eyes cuused by these changes are even more easily no ticed than the differences In the pupils. The Cniuvl'a Illte.

She was a doctor's little girl. In her father's olllco she had seen a number of boxes on which was written. "This side up with care. " In answer to her question her mother had said , "You see , when papa gels these boxes ho doesn't know what Is lu them , and if it is something that might break It wouldn't be good for It to set It upside down. " The little girl pondered over It for some time. A few days later she came to her mother , saying , "Mamma , when God made us did he put a sign on our left sides that says , 'This side up with care ? Why ? " asked the mother , smiling. "Because I heard papa tell somebody that It wns bnd for people to lie ou their left sides "cause it wouldn't be good for their kcnrts , nnd I know papa doesn't know what is inside us.

In Morocco the torture ot offenders , real and suspected , has been and is still much practiced. Much ingenuity Is shown In the Infliction of pain such devices as the rubbing of red pepper In to the eyeballs , tying up the wrists nt n height from the ground , etc. At the death of the late sultan n pro- lender proclnluied himself the rightful heir to the throne nnd hnd n certain BUCCOSS. When presently overcome by the legltlmnto nuthoritics , be was Bclzed , thrown down , when chillies wcro applied to the inside of bis moutk till it swelled with pain , nnd he wns desired to shout out his titles and qual ities ns much as he pleased , being of course unable to utter a word. After that he was thrown Into Jnii to rot thcro till he died. A refinement of cruelty is the torture of the "iron glove , " ns it Is cnllcd. A lump of quicklime is placed in a man's hand , which is closed up into a flat. Tken tke flst is tlgktly bound with leather thongs and plunged into a tub of cold water. Tke agony soon becomes extreme. Tbo torture is continued for eight or ton days until In the end mortiflcntlou ensues nnd probnbly dcnth. Again , n form of "lying up" is to cknln or fasten n man to n wnll , with Ills nrms extend ed so that he can only escape strangu lation by standing on tiptoe. Kansas City Independent. A nnt'n Teeth. The rut Is remarkably well equipped for tke peculiar life he is ordained to lead. lie has strong weapons In the shape of four long nnd very shnrp teeth two in the upper Jaw nnd two in the lower. These teeth arc wedge shaped and by n wonderful provision of nature have always a line , sharp cutting edge. On examining them care fully the inner part Is found to be of a soft , ivoryllke composition , which can easily bo worn way , and the outside is composed of n glasslike enamel which is exceedingly kard. Tke upper tcetk work Into tke under so that the centers of the opposed teeth meet perfectly in the net of gnawing ; hence the soft part is being continually worn away , while the kard part keeps a kard , cklscl-llke edge all tke time , uud nt tke same time the teeth are con stantly growing up from the bottom , so : hat as they wear away n fresh supply s ready. Skould one of these teeth be removed by accident or otherwise , the opposing tooth will .continue to grow , nnd there being nothing to wenr It away it will project from the moutk and bo turned upon itself , nnd if it be nn under tootk it will often grow BO long ns to penetrate tke skull. A WoiuleHnl Air CItr. Mnny stories kave been written nbout mirages and delusions , but none kas icon more interesting nnd curious than that of tke Silent City mirage wklck makes its appearance near tke Pnclflc jlacler in Alaska. Tko discovery of this wonderful mlrngc wns mndo by the In dians , who would tell of the city which wns built In the clouds. The mlrnge cnn be seen in the early part of July from 5 to 0 p. m. It rises from the side of the Pnclllc glacier. It flrst nppcnrs llko n heavy mist and soon becomes clearer , nnd one cnn distinctly see the specter city , well defined streets nnd trees , tall spires nnd huge nnd odd shap ed buildings wklck appear to bo an cient mosques or cathedrals. It is a city which would seem to contain nt least 25,000 or 30,000 Inhabitants. As yet no one has been able to Iden tify It , nltkougk several have claimed to recognize tko place. Tkcrc is no cltj llko it in Alaska , nor In any country about it for thousands of miles. Some claim it is a city in Russia , others say It is a city in England , but none cau toll wkero and wkat it is. Tko mirage was given tke name of Silent City , as U appears to one llko a dead city. There Is nothing that would indicate tkat it is Inhabited. Study the IllRUt Side.
