MY WINNY.

the
Stranger to Canada, I think you said?
First visit to Ontario? Well, you're
heartily welcome to Indian Creek. Take
a chair on the piazza till dinner's ready
we" dine early in these new-world
parts.
Fine farm? "Well, yes; "Indian Creek
is a nice place, if I do own it. All. as
far as you can see grass-land, corn
fields, woods and creeks all belong to
it Stock, too thev call it the "best-
stocked farm in Ontario, I believe, and
I dare say they're right. All mine; and
yet I came to Canada twelve years ago.
without even the traditional half-crown
in my trousers' pocket You look sur
prised. Would you like to hear the
story? There's a good half -hour to
dinner-time yet and it's a story I never
tire of telling, somehow.
I besran life as the son of a village
carpenter, in-the South of England. Yoirl
Know mat ciass pretty wen, i aare say,
and what a gulf was fixed between me
and the vicar of the parish. And yet
ant yet from the time she was seven
year&old and.I eleven, and sheAfeJl
down in the dusty road outside the
carpenter's shop, and cried, and I
picked her up, and smoothed the little
crumpled pinafore, and hissed the dust
' out of her golden curls. I loved but one
girl in the world, and that was the
vicar's daughter, Winny Branscome.
, Madness, you'll say. Well, perhaps
so, and yet a man is but a man, and a
wsvoman a woman; and lovo comes,
whatever one may do. There's no class
distinction recognized by childhood, and
wo were playmates and frionds till she
went to boarding-school. If Miss Win
ny had had a mother, no doubt things
would have been very different; but we
were alike in never having known a
woman's care, and the old vicar was
blind to everything but his theological
treatises.
But when she came back from her
London boarding-school, a beautiful
young lady, all smiles and laces and lit
tle lovely ways then I knew. I had
tried mj' best lo study and work, and
.make myself more like the men she
would meet; but what can a lad in an
English village do? I just had enough
education to make every other lad,jn
the place hate mo; and beside the men
of her world I suppose -I cut rather an
astonishing figure. Yet the love of her
was so boyond all else in me. that mad,
hopeless as I felt it, I had no power
over myself; and the first time I caught
her alone in the woods sho avoided
me. I saw. and I had to watch for a
chance J told her the whole story, and
waitcdier.her answer. She grew scar
let a' rash of color that, dyed her fair,
sweet-face then deathly white.
Dick," she said, arid" she was trem
bling from head to foot,- "yoa know it
can never, never be; you know, you are
wrong even to dream of such va thing.
Soino girls would think it au insult I
knowjou better; but if my father heard
of this, he would say you 'Had 'abused
his kindness to you: he would never for
give J'pu.., Forget 3'our madness." And
. she ran from me.
I let her go. I had seen the blush
and the tremor, and I gucssod that if I
had been Mr. Ioftus. the young Squire,
instead of Dick Ilawtry, the carpenter's
son. her answer nught have been dif-
' ferentl A great resolve sprang'tip in
my soul, and I took a solemn vow in
those June woods. That very night I
sold the old shop (my father was dead,
and I lfad taken to the business), and
with the money I bought an outfit, and
started straight for Canada. It was
Iiretty tough work at titst but I worked
ike agalley-slave starved, ana1 pinched
.jaad saved, and never spent a penny on
Bryself except for the books I sat up
half the iiglit to read and study. Well,
in this country the man who works and
doesn't" drink is sure to get on; and I
had a mighty purpose in my head. By
and by I bought some land dirt-cheap,
and sold it for three times what I gave
for it then I began to make money
fast 1 should call my luck wonderful
if I believed in luck, and didn't prefer
to think I was helped bv a Power far
abler than my own. At last ten years
to the very day after I set foot on Cana
dian soil. I bought Indian Creek Farm,
and began to build this house. All the
neighbors thought my good fortune had
turned niy brain, for 1 fitted it up and
furnished it for a lady, down to a little
rocking-chair by my study-table, and a
work-basket with a tiny'gold thimble
in it And when all that was finished,
I took the first ship for Liverpool.
Ten years builds a city over here. It
doesn't make much change in a Devon
shire village. The very gates were still
half off their hinges, asTl left them, only
the people wunj a little older and a trifle
more stupid, and there was a new vicar.
Old -Mr. Branscome had been dead six
months; died very poor, they told me;
there wa nothing left for Miss Winny.
My Heart gave onu great leap when I
heard that And Miss Winny? O, she
had gone, governessing withsome peo
ple who were just off to Canada, and
the ship sailed to-morrow from Liver
pool. k .
The Liverpool express never seemed
to crawl so slowly before. I got there
to find every berth taken on board the
Antarct'c, and the captain raging at
the non-appearance of two of the crew.
Without a second's pause I offered for
one of the vacant places. I was as
stroag'as a horse, and active enough,
and though the Captain eyed me rather
askance I had been to" a West End
tailor on my way through London he
was too glad to gee me to ask any ques
tions. So I sailed on the ship with my
- girl, little as she knew it I saw her
tkefirst day or two, looking so pale and
.thta that shVwas like the ghost of her
old self, and yet -sweeter to my eyes
than ever before. The children she had
charge of were troublesome little crea
tures, who worried and badgered her
till I longed to cuff them well. But
there was a gentleness and a patience

which no one who has not felt it can '
imacine in the least and we knew t-iat
the .Antarctic had struck.
It's a fearful thing, if you? como to
think of it, a great steamer filled with
living souls in the full flow of life and
health, and in one moment the call
coming to each of them to die. Before
you 'could-have struck a i
match the 1
whole ship was in a panic cries, terror,
confusion, agony -O, it was a??ful! I
trust never to see such a scene again.
I made my vay through itall as if I had
neither eyes nor ears, and got to the
stateroom I had long ago found out was
the one which belonged to my girl. I
knocked at the door with a heavy hand;
even at that awful moment a thrill ran
through me at the thought of standing
face to face with her again.
"Winny!" I cried, "come out! make
haste! there is not a moment to lose!"
The door opened as I spoke, and she
stood just within, ready dressed, even
to'her little black hat. The cabin light
had been left burning, by the doctor's
orders, and it fell full on me as I stood
there in my sailor's jersey anil cap. I
wondered if sho,would know me. 1
forgot the danger we were in forgot
that death was waiting close at hand
forgot that the world held any ono but
just her and me.
Dick!" she cried "O, Dick, Dick!"
and she fell forward in a dead faint on
my shoulder.
All my senses came back then; and I
threw het over my arm and ran' for the
deck. A great fur-lineil cloak had been
I dropped bj' the door of the ladies' cabin.
Anere was au iigiii. miii i suiuiuieu over
it as I ran. I snatched it up aud carried
it with me.
Up above, all was in the wildest
chaos; the boats over-filled, and push
ing off; the ship settling rapidly; people
shouting, crying, swearing. Qne hears
tales of calranis and courage often

ehavecsplcndid)j and sqfsffl some of

them and the crew were mad with ter
ror, and lost their heads altogether.
I saw there was not a chance for the
over-crowded boats in that sea. and f
sprang for the rigging. I was not a
second too soon; a scoro.of- others- fol
lowed my oxample. and with my
precious burden I should not have had
a chance two aiinutes later. As it was.
I scrambled to the topmast, and got a
firm hold there. Winny was just coming
to herself. I had wrapped her round
like a baby in the fur cloak, and with
my teeth I opened my knife to cut a
rope 'which huujjr loose within reach.
With this I lashed her to me, and
fastened us both to the topmast Tho
ship sank gradually; she did not keel
over, or I should pot be telling you the
story now; she settled down, just her
deck above water, but the great seas
washed over it every second aud swept
it clean. The boats had gone!
One or two of tho crow, floating' on
loose spars, were picked up afterward
no moro. The rigging was pretty
full, at least in the upper part; down
below, tho sea was too strong. The
Captain was near me. I felt glad to
think he had been saved ho was not a
coward like some of the others.

that night's length. The cold was aw
ful. The-spray froze on the sheets as it
fell, the yards were slippery with ice. I
stamped on Winny's feet to keep them
from freezing. Did you notice that I
limp a little? I shall walk lame as long
as 1 live. Sometimes there was a splash
in the black water below, as some poor
fellow's stiffened hold relaxed, and ho
fell from his piace in the rigging. There
was' not a breath of wind, nothing but
the bitter, bitter fog. How long could
we bold out? Where .were we? How
long would the ship bc"before she broke
up? Would it be by drowning or by
freezing? We asked ourselves these
questions again aud again, but there
was no answer. Death stared us in the
face; we seemed to live ages of agony
in every minute and yet, will you be
lieve me, that all soetued little in com
parison to the thought that after all the
struggles and the sorrows, after all
those ten long weary 3"ears, I held my
girl in my arms at last!
She had pulled one corner of the
cloak around my neck (I stood on a
level just belowher.) and her hand lay
there with it it was. the hand that
warmed me more than the cloak and
her cheek rested against my own. Often
I thought its coldness was the coldness
of death, and almost exulted in the
thought that we should die together.
And then I would catch the murmur of
tho prayers she was uttering for us both,
and know that life was there still, and
hope lived, too.
Well, well! Why should I dwell on
such horrors, except to thank the
Mercy that brought us through them
all? Day dawned at last; and there
was the shore near by, and soon, rockets
were fired, and ropes secured, and one
by one the half-dead living were drawn
from their awful suspension between
sky and sea, and landed safe on shore.
They had to take Winny and me to
gether, just as we were, and even then
they had hard work to undo the clasp of
my stiffened arms about her. I knew
nothing then, nor for long after; and it
is wonderful that Winny was the first,
to recover, and that it was she who
nursed me back to life and reason.
And how did I ask her to marry me?
Upon my word, now youask. I" can't
remember that I ever did. That seemed
utterly unneccessary, somehow. Caste
distinctions look small enough when
you hare been staring death in the face
for a lew hours; and words were not
much needed after we had been together
in tho rigging that night . Somehow I
was glad it-was so; glad my girl had
taken me in my eap and jersey, for a
common sailor, and yet loved "the old
Dick through it all; glad she never
dreamed I was owner of Indian Creek
farm, and the richest man in that end
of Ontario, and had wealth and a posi
tion higher than Mr. Loftus, the young
Squire at home. The people she was
with had all gone down on that awful
night; she had no one in the world but
me. We were married at Montreal
the Captain of the Antartic gave her
away and then I brought her home to
Indian Creek. To see ner face when
she saw the rocking-chair, and the work
basket and the thimble! Heaven bless
her!
There she comes, with her baby on
her shoulder. Come into dinner, friend,
and you shall see the , sweetest wife in
the new country or the old; the girl I
won amid ther ocean's surges. Bright
Days. "

If the brave'fellows who "manned the
the late war had,beeu told jhenhat the
guns mey were usiuS womum mo uwi
future be looked upon almost as so
many popguns, the prediction would
have been ridiculed as 'are the notions
jet in the short space ot twenty years
almost a revolution in naval armament
has taken place. Inventions in this
field have'ifeen numerous, though most
of the noise over such matters has been
made by foreigners. Krupp. the Ger
man, has come to be known throughout
Christendom for the powerful weapons
he has been turning out Irom bis worts.
Yet, in this country, notwithstanding
the fact that there has been continued
peace .and no need'ofisuoh things," im
mense strides In the construction of
naval ordnance have been made.
During and since the war the arma
ment of our naval vessels consisted of
two classes "smooth-bores" and "ri
fles" both of which wercVloaded atthe
muzzle. The "smooth-bores" fired
projectiles of spherical form, while the
rifle " projectiles were of cylindrical
shape, one end being pointed. All of
these cannons were made of cast iron,
the rifles having bands of wrought iron
shrunk over the cast iron bodies to
strengthen them. The smooth-bores"
ranged in caliber, or diameter of bore,,
from about six inches to fifteen inches,
their projectjles varying from thirty-two
pouuds to 450 pouuds in weight, and
their powder charges from six pounds
to'ono hundred pounds. The fifteen
inch smooth-bore with its battering
charge of one hundred pounds of pow
der and solid shot weighing 450 pounds
has a penetration of fifteen inches of
iron at short "range. The "smooth
bore" guns of smaller caliber than
fifteen inches were not considered as
"ariuor-piercing" guns, their projectiles
being spherical shells filled with pow
der anil fitted with fuses to burn a cer
tain number of seconds, according to
the range desired, when the shells
would explode and fragments be
scattered over au extended area. The
ritlo guns used during the war varied in
cvdiber from the three and one-half
Aches to sis and one-half inches, their
projectiles from twenty pounds in
weight to one hundred pounds, and
their powder charges from two to ten
pounds.
Efforts were made for many years to
traduce breech-loading rifle guns of
arge caliber, but the mechanical diffi
culties of manufacture and failure to
find a material strong enough to with
stand the destructive pressures of large
charges of powder were not overcome
until within the past ten years. The
guns being built for the new cruisers
represent the most advanced types of
their respective calibers. They are
made of forged steel and are of the
built up pattern, or composed of a num
ber of pieces. There is first a tube
which forms the bore and powder
chamber; over the rear end of the tube
and extending nearly one-half the length
of it is shrunk a jacket. and over both
jacket and tube arc shrunk strengthen
ing hoops of a high grade of steel. The
breech is closed by a plug on which a
heavy screw thread is cut; one half of
this thread is removed, a corresponding
thread is cut ou the inside of the rear
4ati of the jacket one half of which is
also removed. The circumference of
these threads is divided into six parts
and each alternate part is re'moved, thus
permitting tho threaded part of tho
breech plug to pass longitudinally along
the renewel portion of the threaded
part of the hole in the- jacket, so by
turning the plug oncsixth ofa turn the
threaded portions engage each other
and tho plug ishus prevented from
being forced to the rear, when the gun
is fired.
The calibers for the guns of the new
cruisers are of five, six and eight inches,
their projectiles weighing seventy, one
hundred and two hundred and lifty
pounds respectively, and their powder
charges being one-half the weight of the
projectile in each case. As these'guus
are made very long, thirty calibers, a
much larger charge of powder can be
burned and a correspondingly greater
velocity given to the projectile. Bythis
means the guns become much "more
powerful. One of the new gun's of eight
inches caliber will penetrate at least
sixteen inches of wrought iron, or more
than can be pierced by the old fifteeu
inch gun.
The material, forged steel, for the five
and six-inch guns is produced in -the
United States, but that for the larger
guns is imported, though it is expected
that material for the eight-inch gun will
soon be made here.
In addition to the foregoing the Na
val Ordnance Bureau has now in course
of construction steel guns of ten and ten
and a half inches caliber, and has the
plans ready for guns up to sixteen inches
caliber, which will be built when Con
gress provides the money. The ten-inch
guns are to throw a projectile of five
hundred pounds with a powder charge
of two hundred and fifty pounds, and
will pierce more than twenty inches of
wrought iron, while the sixteen-inch gun
will have a projectile weighing two
thousand pounds and a powder charge
of oue thousand pounds, and will send
its shot through thirty-two inches, of
iron.
The officers' who have charge of the
construction of the guns for the new war
vessels are among the most skillful in
the whole line of the navy. Tbay have
been selected because of therproficieney
they have attained in this branch of
their profession. The ordnance corps
of tho army has also made great strides
in the way of improved guns, but their
progress has not kept pace with that
made in the navy. Washington Cor.

Measurements or Temperature at Various
Points Beneath the Barth's Sarfaee
It is supposed tiiat it.ia.very hot in the
middle of the earth; and the Germans.
like a philosophical people, are now
going to some expense in order to find
out how hot it is. Not that we arc
without some of those clever guesses
called scientific inductions. The French
have their own views on the subject so
have the Austrians, so have we. But
in these cases the information obtained,
such as it is, has been arrived at in the
pursuit of something else. It is more
noble to go to tho cost of obtaining
knowledge for its own account; and it
strikes us as almost unfair to the Ger
mans that the heat indicated by their
boring should be less than that cal
culated on any other data.
It is generally held that at a depth of
fifty feet an underground zone is reached
in which the temperature is the same
all over the world and at all seasons of
the year. And this temperature is said
to be 50 (or, to be more accurate.
50.5) degrees of the thermometer of
Fahrenheit. 180 of which degrees meas
ure the difference between the temper
ature of boiling and of freezing water
under ordinary conditions.
A well sunk to the depth of 1,802 feet
at Grenclle. a suburb of Paris, took
seven years and two months of difficult
labor to complete; and. when the water
bearing stiatust wy readied, the water
rusheil up with such force as to rise 120
feet above the surface. This water was
observed to have a uniform tempera
ture of 81.8 degrees Fahrenheit, show
ing an increase of temperature at the
rate of one degree of Fahrenheit . for
every fifty feet below the neutral zone
above mentioned. At Kissengen, in
Bavaria, a brine well has been bofed to
a depth of 2,000 feet But the water
has only a temperature of sixty-six de
grees. Iu Algeria the temperature of
soventy-nine degrees Fahrenheit U
shown by water springing from borings
of not more than 280 feet But this was
said to be a miracle. Tho artesian
wells in Chicago are 70J feet deep, and
have a temperature of only fifty-seven
degrees Fahrenheit.
Measurements of temperature not ab
solutely dependent on tho flow of water
are more consistent in theirrcsults than
the above. In the Cornish mines the
temperature increases one degree for
every sixty feet. In the Dukenfield
lead-mine the increase is one for e'very
sixty-three feet. At Rosebrldge, near
Wigan, a temperature of 92 degrees
Fahrenheit is found at a depth of 2,376
feet At La Mouille bores, near Creu
zot, at a depth of 3.017 feet, the temper
ature recorded is 110.2 degrees Fahren
heit The new German boring is made
near Schladebach; the depth is reached
4,566 feet, and the temperature note is
120 degrees Fahrenheit. The respect
ive increase of temperature in the last
three cases is a degree in 56, in 53.5 and
in 65 feet; so that cither the earth is
much cooler near Schladebach than in
England and in France, or for some
other reason the result of the German
boring indicates a slower rate of in
crease of temperature than either of the
above cases cited.
At the Cornish rate of increase, wh:ch
is pretty nearly a mean of the various
estimates, the "temperature at which wa
ter boils will be prevalent .at a depth of
fifty-four miles, which is less than ono
seventieth part of the distance to the
center of the earth, the temperature of
the combustion of ordinary coal must
prevail if the law of the increase of tem
perature with depth remains constant
To go anv further, to indicate in de-
gross of the thermometer tho theoretic
heat at the center or anv other point, is
nothing but scientific trilling. Nor is
any great practical good likely to result
from experiments to show whether, in
any given spot, temperature increases
with every fifty-three feet or with every
sixty-live feet that wo burrow in imag
ination below the soil.
There is, however, a certain object
in attempting to discover the approxi
mate law of increase of temperature
with depth. In 187La report was p-e-sented
to Parliament from tho "com
missioners appointed to inquire into the
several matters relating to coal in the
United Kingdom." The commission
ers took the eminently practical view
that "looking to possible expedients
which the future may elicit for reducing
the temperature, they considered
that it might be fairly assumed
that a depth of at least 4.000
feet might be reached." At this
depth the temperature probably exceeds
122 degrees Fahrenheit. As to its "re
duction." it is to be remembered that
the heat, whatever it be. is not that of
the air alone, but that of the earth on
and within which the miner has to
stand or to lie; aud that, as to "re
ducing" it, it is fed from reservoirs of
the capacity of the globe.
At the temperature of the blood,
which is 98 degrees Fahrenheit, con
tinuous exertion is impossible to the
European. This temperature is reached
apparently at a depth of about 2,690
feet; which is 314 feet lower than the
deepest colliery in England. But long
before the impossible is attained the
costly and the difficult commence. A
temperature of SO degrees Fahrenheit
is probable at a depth of 1,800 feet Far
within this limit, in the Monkwearmouth
mines, at a depth of 1.640 feet, shorter
hours arc required for the miner, and the
cost increases in proportion. These
considerations reduce the rationally
probable contents of our coal-measures
(those known to exist in the United
Kingdom) from the 90.000,000.000 of
tons estimated by the commissioners to
39,000.000.000 of tons extractable with
our present means; and we are bringing
it to the surface at the annually in
creasing rate ot lbU.UO'J.UOO of tons per
year. The supply will last our time, no
doubt; but centuries are but small
periods in the life of a people. And' it
is easy to see that, on such informa
ticn as we have, it is not for centuries in
the plural that our coal-supply will hold
out. if we continue its ovor-increasing
extraction. 5. James1 Gazette. ,

A Valuable Antidote.
Already an antidote has been dis
covered to the sting of scorpions, which
although rarely fatal, are extremely
painful, and the poison is closely allied
to that of the venomous snakes. Mr.
A. M. Markham, of the Indian Civil
Service, has written to one of the Indian
papers calling attention to the fact that
the root of Achyranthes aspera, known
popularly as chirchirra, affords almost
instantaneous relief from the pain
caused by the sting of a scorpion. The
flant is very common everywhere in
ndia, and is one of those whose cling
ing burrs are such a nuisance on one's
legs when out shooting. The root,
macerated in water, is applied to the
part stung, and a small quantity is
drank in water. If this be done quickly,
there is absolutely no pain half an hour
or so after the sting, instead of the
twelve or twenty-four hours of intense
suffering which follow an untreated
sting. Three cases occurred recently
in Mr. Markham's camp, in which the
sufferers, thanks to chirchirra, and the
Eresence of a khitmutgar who knew
ow to apply it were going about their
work within an hour in each case, feel
ing nothing more than numbness in the
part stung. Whether this remedy
would .be equally efficacious against
snake bites is doubtful; but after such
striking proof of its efficacy against the
venom of scorpions, the matter is
assuredly worth investigation. It may
be that the JLchyrtnthu asperm is the
antidote used by snake charmers.

LADTES' "PETS.
Ths Costly Jewels Wont hy Oo(S Which
Ooa't Appreciate the Honor.
She sailed like a saucy yacht before a
half gale into a well-known uptowa
jewelry store. She carried under hfc
arm a bunch of hair, which, being
placed upon the glass counter in front
of a shrinking, timid youth, showed
1 signs of life, and let out a spiteful yelp
J that could only come from the throat of
a disgusted dog. After adjusting the
wrinkles in her face so that a fair-sized
I scowl appeared, she turned right about
j and looked the light-haired clerk square
r u kiil- i.m .,: ..!

: ' - ot -
I "Did not I tell you, sir, to be extremely
, careful about the size of the ring that
, you measured for my little Zip? Look.
' at that, you .double-dyed villain," as
she pointed to a small inflamed spot
upou the dog's left leg. -That's all
i your work, and woe unto you. sir, if
my poor little treasure is kept awake
any more at night by your horrible stu
pidity. You are sure" the ring was all
right and that my darling has probably
got the mange? Well. sir. that settles
i your case. 1 was not going to make,
J any further complaint Now I'm ott
! for headquarters," and she doubled up
her skirts, seized her "darling" and
, started double-quick for the main office.
In a few moments she camo out of the
1 office with the manager, aud he walked
J with her to her carriage. The'wrinklcs

outraged fef!
What w.s tin! trouble with vour
customer?" the manager was asked, as
he walked into the store. "Was she
one of the crauk species?" "Well."
said the manager, "if you call a parson
a crank who thinks more of a dog than
a child, then she is one. and the class
of which she is a fair specimen is by no
means small. The whole trouble arose
from a mistake made in measuring her
dog's leg for a bracelet. After the ani
mal had worn it a few times it became
tight, and in removing it the skin was
slightly abraded. Why do I say that
she thought mora of her dog than her
child? Well, my judgment is based
upon a commercial transaction. She
came in here about two weeks ago with
one of the prettiest children I ever saw
and bought a ring for the little one. It
cost 32.75. while she paid $28 for a
bracelet for that yelping cur."
"Is there much of a trade in animal
ornaments?"
"Well, yes, though at present there
is tiot much doing, because the cople
who buy these thiugs are out of the
city. Just before the opening of the
summer resorts our traile had a wonder
ful boom, and it would have surprised
one who had not been initiated to see
the valuable ornaments that were
ordered for pets. The trade, however,
has not been as good tlrs year as it
was last probably because the line of
jewelry worn by each animal was full.
This business began six or seven years
ago and jumped into full swing when,
at one of the animal dog shows, a pug
was exhibited with a beautiful pair of
bracelet- upon its fore legs. The
ladies were overcome bv th guawings-l
of envy, and hastened to adorn their
pugs in the same way. Somo even
went so far as to have the ears of their
dogs p:erced. and dainty little ear
drops suspended therefrom. A philan
thropic spirit started the story that
this practice interfered with the dog's
hearing and was a mild method of
torture, and it has now fallen into
disuse.
"However much the owners may
admire the appearance of, their be
spangled pets. 1 have yet to find the
dog that feels elated when jewelry is put
on him. Dogs usually try to tear these
things off with their paws or gnaw
them off. These ornaments are not
contiiie-.l t bracelets, but include col
lars plain, jewelled, or with artistic
ally engraved monograms expensive
blankets and embroidered wraps. They
are ordered for dogs of every size and
species, but more frequently for dogs
that might be termed pets. "?he prices
Eaid are var'ous. but are always high.
ccauo nearly every order provides for
a special design, and the patterns and
settings, if jewels are used, have to be
specially prepared. I know of one
lady who owned a fine pug and terrier.
She had a fancy that they would look
well in double harness, and ordered a
set to be made after a pattern that she
had drawn on paper. It was an elabor
ate affair, studded with gems, and a
model of beauty when complete. She
counted out $250 for it without a mur

THE HORNET.
Description of ao liitarejUug Insect A
;r.-ature Wlioo Advent I Marksd by
Stern Uvality. n
The hornet is an abridged edition of
blootly murder strained through a rag.
He bears the same relation to John
L. Sullivau that condensed milk does
to a cow.
In constructing the mule-end of the
hornet .love sharpened a streak, of
lightning on the cheek of a Chicago
drummer and dipped" it in the gall of
a campaign lie.
It wdl not do to confound the hornet
with the bee. The hornet is clad in the
mantle of a more mysterious individu
ality, and on his brow resti'a d:adem
of baleful gloom. He has a oneasss
of character that is unknown to the
bee.
The bee is not without a touch ot
sweetness ami light, but the sweetness
of the hornet seems, to have been
spoiled in the making.
The coming and tho going of the bee
are-mellowed by poetic associations.
She is proverbial for industry. The
victim of the bee can salve his hurt by
quoting Watts.
It is not thus with fhe hornet. His
.coming is a stern reality, and his going
"is lost in the murky atmosphere of pro
fanity, if not more so.
The hornet is the cowboy of the in
sect world:
The offensive partisan of entomologi
cal wingedness;
The winged essence of volcanic
energy;
The breach-loading paper wad ol
viewless fire.
On dainty wings of lightning he reels
off an infinitesimal coil of gigantic pain,
aud in his pistol-pocket he carries a red
hot stove.
A political discussion is the supreme
aggregntTon of explosive enthusiasm;
The ten-strike of an angry mule is a
supermundane earthquake:
The yowl of a tom-cat is tangled
contusion of wall-eyed souud;
But the caress of a hornet is brim
stone fire with a stick in it. Chicago

has to do it at the expense of somebody
else, Gus De Smith, who has a re
markable talent for mnic. receutlv
composed the saddest kind of a dirge
and called it "The Beggar's Dream."
The pioce was played iu public for the
first time by Mi - Birdie Mc' Munis, the
sister of Hostetter Mc'Iinuis. at a musi
cale, or some such shindig, at the man
sion of Colonel Percy Yerger, After
Miss McGinnis bad finished playing,
she asked Gilhooly how he- liked it
"Your playing was superb. Your
touch is wonderful, but tell me. Miss
Birdie, why do you play such a wretched
thing as Gus de Smith's 'Beggar's
Dream.' which really should be called
tho 'Beggar's Nightmare.' You can't
do yourself justice when you play such
a wretched piece as that If it had not
been for your exquisite playing the
piece would have been hissed."
Of course, Miss Birdie felt very much
flattered, and was subsopicntly heard
to speak of the intelligence and good
looks of Gilhooly.
Later in the evening. Gus De Smith,
the brilliant composer, asked Gilhooly
to step outside. At first. Gilhooly sup
posed that Gus had heard about bis
adverse criticism of the niu-ucal pro
duction, and he wished he had aot
spoken so di- aragingly ot Gus. When
they got outside Gus said in an earnest
voiee:
"Gilhooly, let's go to Jules Borne
fold's and Hatter our digesters."
Tho went into Jules Bornefeld's sa
loon. After the ceremony was over,
Gus said:
"Now, Gilhooly. 1 know you are a
judge of fine music. I want your can
did opinion about that little" gem of
mini, the IJcggar's Dream ' " "
Gus," reiTied Gilhooly. seizing his
fiiend by the baud, "You -are the com
ing Texas Mo.art but whv don't you
get a musician to play it instead of
that dreadful piano-po.in I it, Birdie
McGinnis. She has no touch at all.
If it hadn't been for the merits of the
Eiece itself, the p.ople would have
issed her of the stage "
Thn Gus De .Smith once more
pressed the hand of the candid critic,
and told Jules Bornefeld to "set 'em
up again." 7'exa Sifting.

What shall be said of the educa

who find their highest pleasure in the

public schools, perchance through uni

even to wear the livery of the Church.
In what shape cau life l.sve been pre

they ever have gained, of the organic
unity of society? What respect can
they ever have been taught for the tem

institutes of nature an 1 of society?
What regard for others can 'ever have
been inculcate 1 upon them when they
think that money can atone for the ut
ter degrattation of a fellow-creature?
Surely it is time to cry aloud and spare
no,t when men can pass for "edu

a true science of life are un
known, and who. with all their lit

daily practice to the lowest depths of
