LOVE. Love la a day With no thought of morrow. Love is a joy With no thought o? sorrow. Love Is to give With no thought of receiving. Love is to trust Without quite believing. -From "With Lead and Line," by Charles Henry Webb. ? A FAREWELL j ? BACHELOR DINNER, t i t ? ^ ^S*!*^^^ . It was the Van Waggemans who in troduced Judith Tankerville to soci ety, and she was so much of a success that in six weeks she counted her men friends by the score and not a dowa ger nor a debutante could find fault with her. Refinement, beauty, tact and experience-Mrs. Tankerville had them all. Money? Nobody knew, but the women made shrewd guesses when they recounted the number and rare splendor of the jewels which she wore. At every ball or reception a different and more singuar brooch or necklace was at her matchless throat, some odd, barbaric gem was in her billowy black hair. As for her antecedents, everybody knew what the Van Waggemans knew -that the Tankervilles were an oi l Irish-English family of high blood and big achievements. The Van Wagge mans had met Miss Judith at Flor ence and later in New York In the company of the "best people." Her distingue bearing and foreign air did the rest. She had the style Parisian, the English poise, the Dublin brogue gave its inimitable twang to the mus: .: cf her voice. The debutante envied and imitated her amiable stateliness and saw with eminent gratification that she eluded, though she could not discourage, the pursuit of the "elig ible" young men. Mammas with mar riageable sons and daughters com mended the brilliant foreigner's in gicvi discretion and brilliancy and "took her up," safe in the certainty that she was neither an adventuress nor a fortune-teller. She became the "rage" among the men and the pro tege of the women-evidence in itself of a masterly diplomacy. It was late in Demberat one ot Mrs. Boileau's afternoons that Carrie Hunter Grant, widow of the million aire coffee roaster, twitted her host ess about a "possible case" between .Mrs. Boileau's older brother and the Tankerville. , "To me he looks "hit,"' whispered the widow, affectionately.* "Whenever Judith appears he becomes distrait, blushes-actually blushes. Just fancy a whitehaired veteran like the major blushing at sight of a girl." "Carrie, Carrie, you inveterate plotster," sighed the hostess, "brother George will never marry again unless -" (arching her eyebrows knowingly. She knew that Mrs. Grant had her heart set on the rich widower.) "Besides," she resumed, "hi? daughter is of age now, and I'm sure he has no thought of himself till she's settled in life." "By the way," said Mrs. Grant, changing the topic, 'did you ever no tice that marvellous watch Miss Tank erville wears?" 'Which one? I've noticed that she wears a different watch every week or BO." "I mean that flat, antique thing en crusted with filigree.There never was anything like it on earth. ' I'm dying to know where she got it. If you ever get a chance ask her. will you, dear?" It was almost dark when Mrs. Grant started for her carriage. In the ves tibule she met Major Glendennin, Mrs. Moileau's brother, who paused under the lamp to greet her. Mrs. Boileau was at her shoulder, chatting and both women stood to chaff the old beau. Finally said the widow: "Major, what time is it? I want to stop at Mrs. Henry's if I have time." The major fumbled under his over coat and pulled out his watch-a queer, outlandish flat one encrusted with amber filigree. "What a queer watch ! " snapped the widow, laying her hand on Mrs. Boil eau's arm, 'why, it's something like one Miss Tankerville wears." Both women peered at the bauble, hut it was jerked back into thp ma jor's pocket in a trice. "Quarter ?ast five," blurted the wid owner, flushing and bolting Into the house. "Aha, my foxey major," gig gled the widow, 'what do you think of him now, Mrs. Boileau?" The hostess laughed nervously, said "I can't be lieve it" and went In. It was a week later that -Major Glendinnin gave a dinner at his club to ten of his old cronies. They were all old soldiers of war or finance; rich, gray old foxes of the fatherly sort; sleek, well groomed men of fashion who "knew the world." Widowers and bachelors all of them who knew the Tankerville, all good friends of her3 and of each other. They had come to the coffee when Glendennin proposed a toast: 'To Judith Tankerville, who ls to be n y wife." The applause which followed was rot instantaneous, but it came at last, came strong and hearty when they saw the major was not joking. Till then none knew the purpose of thi? little feat-t. Indeed, it was but one of many of the same kind, but Glenden ning announcement fell like a bomb among his chums. They rallied with tactful readiness and were standhig with cheers on their lips and wine glasses ready before their host could see through the clouds of smoke above the table the looks of surprise, chag rin or merriment that were ex changed. "You lucky old rascal," Colonel Gregory was saying when the waiter entered, salver in hand, and gave the major a sealed envelope. The old fellow growled as he tore off the end, turned pale an instant, cursed in his white mustache and then bawled: "Where is he?" "Right here, sir," said a swanger, who slipped suddenly in behind the servant; "I made bold to come right up, sir, because all. of these gentlemen know Miss Tank-" "Shut up" roared Glendennin, pur ple with rage. "Just a moment, major," cooed the Interloper. Then, to the walter, "Please go out." The waiter left at a signal from the angry major, and the stranger ccolly sat down on tho arm of a wall chair. "Gentlemen," he said to the staring, wondering guests, "I'm Hogan, a de tective from central, and I butted in here because I knew all you gentle men were-well, I might say, person al friends of Miss Tankerville, Judith Tankerville" (taking a bunch of pa pers out of his pocket), "Miss Judith Tankerville, alias Mignonne Du pro, alias 'The Princess,' and so forth." There was dense silence in the room. Glendennin looked like a man in the throes of apoplexy. . 'The Tankerville woman is wanted in Paris for fraud-selling for a spec ulator in watches, jewels, diamonds and stealing the money. They've been following her all over Europe, you know. She's awful slick. Started out right a year ago and for two months sold more antique jewelry than any une and cashed in on the square. She began the bunko in Florence eight months ago and has swindled every body since." The detective coughed, reached for a glass of wine, drank it off and con cluded: Now, major, that watch you've got on, the one with the filigree and the funny carving, how much did you give her on that." "Why, it's a family heirloom, you dog," roared Glendennin. "I found out she wxi pressed for funds and let ber have three hun-" , 'Well, it ain't a family nothing, sir," said Hogan. "It's just a fake 'an tique.' they call 'em, made to sell for 75, probably worth 50. Now, gentle* men" (turning to the company), "I know you've all been 'stuck' in the same way. The best way to fix things up is to give up the gim-eraeks. I won't say a word about thc matter. Nobody knows SHE'S arrested, and we'll just see that she DISAPPEARS." ****** When Major Glendennin and Mrs. Carrie Hunter Grant had been mar riel about six months she asked him: "What had ever-become of that curi ous wa'ch you used to wear?" "Oh, that?" he grunted, looking a bit sheepish, "I gave that to Colonel Gregory as a keepsake when he left for California. He took a fancy to it, and as it was more of a lady's watch, I never liked it." "Where did YOU get it, dear?" "Oh, I ah-er, hem, it was an heir loom in my first wile's family, dear." And his wife looked on in wonder ing awe and was silent.-John H. Raftery, in the Chicago Record-Her ald. PORCUPINE QUILLS. They Are Loosely Fmtoned lu arti May He Sltnken Out. Thc myth that the porcupine can discharge its quills to a distance is one of very great antiquity, and, like many myths, it has at its founda tion a grain of truth. The porcu pine's defensive armature lies in the quills scattered over its body, and,, above all, thickly implanted in its tail. When threatened by enemies, it uses the tail as a weapon, thrashing and jerking it about from side to side, to the great danger of any living creature that may bc within roach of it. Now thc quills of a porcupine are so loosely Inserted in the skin that they become detached very easily. They arc sharp-pointed and barbed, and so stick into anything that they may be roughly brought in contact with. Any one who has ever poked a porcupine with a stick will remem ber that in a very short time many quills were found with their points buried in the stick. The violent thrashings and blows given by the tail of the porcupine which is defending itself loosen many of those quills, which often are thrown short dis tances, but never more than a few , inches, since the quills are far too light in weight to carry any distance. T???T?ctls tl?at quills may ne-ana often are-shaken from the tail of a porcupine and fall near it. Stansead in the last sentence or two of his let ter explains precisely the way in which these quill'-- are loosened and then fall to the ground. It is inter esting to notice that the thrashing of the porcupine's tail against wood or the ground or loaves is accompanied I by considerable noise, and that the quills rattle against each other. It has been suggested that this sounds like a challenge and that it is also a warning.-Forest and Stream. j PEARLS Of THOUGHT. Delicacy is to thc affections what grace is to beauty. They are never alone that are ac companied with noble thoughts. We cannot judge for each other. We have each our peculiar weakness, and temptations. ? Sympathy is easy to get, but when you need help you will find that is a different question. Instruction is a teacher, but Exam ple is an artist, and our emotions are the colors he mixes on the heart's pal ette. The people- who help us most are those who make light of our achieve ments and have faith in our possibili ties. For things never come quite right in this world. The threads seem to slip out of our hands as we are go ing to tie the knot. The inward influences and illumin ations which come to us through those who have loved us are deeper than any that we can realize; they pene trate all our life, and assure us that there must be a fountain of life and love from which they and we are con tinually receiving strength to bear and hope. It is seldom that a man loses his temper, even under the greatest prov ocation, without having cause, sooner or later, to regret his want of self command. There are few of our fel low creatures so important that it is not worth while to conciliate them, none that may not some time have it in their power to inflict on us an in jury. The Voracious Hullfrojj. "Bullfrogs are about as voracious as anacondas," says Keeper Thomp son, of the Zoo's reptile house. "What do you suppose a full-grown bullfrog especially likes? Birds. The clumsy looking, sleepy frog is a marvel of swiftness when it comes to capturing a meal. .He will lie motionless along the banks of a pond or stream, and when birds come down to drink or bathe they are swallowed in a twink ling if they get within range. A bull frog is just like a snake. He can gulp down a meal as big as himself. Let au unwary sparrow venture within a few inches of the motionless frog and there will be a lightning-like leap, a gulp and the frog again assumes his immovable attitude, but he will look as if he had swallowed a mattress. Of course, if birds can't be had bullfrogs will appease their appetites with in sects, but they are always on the watch for unwary members of the feathered tribe. I have several full-grown bull frogs in one of the tanks, and they prefer birds to any other food. Once in a while I catch mice and feed them to the frogs, which bolt them whole with the greatest ease.*-Philadelphia I Recurd. I SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. Smelting promises in a few yoara to become one of the most notable in dustries in California. Many millions have already been invested in the business, and plans have been already formed which v. ill involve thc expen diture of many millions moro in the near future. Paris is doubtless the most inter national telephone centre, its central office being connected with London to the west, Hamburg to the north, Ber lin to the east, and Milan and Turin t.i the south.

The rapidly extending uses of hard woods have given rise to the manu facture of veneered doors. The base or core of such doors is a light wood, such as pine, over which is laid a veneer of oak, birch, mahogany 01 other hard wood. It is claimed that., aside from being cheaper than the solid doors, they are lighter, and if anything, more durable, as tho com bination prevents warping and twist ing, that very often ruins a solid door. Thc name "Queen Regent" has been given to a pearl which was recently found by a fisherman in the upper waters of the Mississippi river, and which is said to be the largest fresh water pearl ever found in the United States. The pearl is now in posses sion of a Chicago man and is valued at. $13,778. Its weight is 83 grain!., ?nd It has the soft, velvety-white color sc. much admired in pearls. The shell from which the pearl was taken was unusually large. Thc shells are thought to be about 75 years old. During the last few years the United States government has been in stalling a number of storage batter ies for coast defense service. One ol these is a Willard battery of C4 cells, installed in a casement at Fort Perry, Plum Island, Conn. The elements of this battery are of 5(J0-ampcre-hour capacity and are placed in lead-lined tanks on racks and insulated with glass petticoat ins-:lators. The batter* ies are used for ligating purposes, as well as for operating small motors in the various mechanisms employed in this office. Interference with submarine cable service due to fish bites occurs from time to time in shallow water, but lines in deep water have not hither to suffered from this cause. An Eng lish telegraph company, however, now reports that in repairing a fault in one of their cables at a depth of 330 fathoms, the s' "tion removed was found to contain a tooth firmly fixed in the core of thc cable, although the core was protected by the usual sheathing of thick iron wires and in sulating material. An examination oi the tooth showed it to be from some species of shark. An exceedingly simple device an Englishworkingman has just invented, whereby writing or drawing is made easier.

Doubtless, the novelists will be the first to take advantage of thia easy writing ring, though many of us would prefer that writing bc made no easier for them; we have more books written and published than wc can ever hope to read, and the output ig constantly increasing. Giants of Small Stature. One? more the strongest man in the intercollegiate world is what would be known in ordinary descriptive words as "a little fellow." Arthur Tyng, who has just sent the all-around test record upward almost 300 points, ii the smallest and least striking of the Harvard competitors. His superi ority, as attested by himsolf and his examiners, lies in his nerve, ag'ility and perfect physicial balance. C. J. Herbert, intercollegiate cham pion of two or three years ago, was even smaller than Tyng. He too was of Harvard. Allis, of the University ol Minnesota, now dethronged by Tyng, iy but five feet five inches in height. "Good things," says the old saw, "come in small packages." The truth of this proverb may be applied to men in the matter of the physical de velopment obtained by^wise and sys tematic work-by the mingling of san ity and discretion with "gumption."

New York World. Intelligences of Insanity. Insane people frequently make statements which gives evidence )l keen intelligence. An instance of this kind occurred a day or t'A o ago in Judge Bonham's court. A Scandina vian woman from one of the range towns was undergoing examination as to her mental condition. Her hus band, a weazened inferior looking lit tle fellow, had told the story of his wife's condition, and sh/ took in every word he said. She was then interrogated and ans wered all the questions about herself and her children in a vague, rambling manner. Finally she protested that there was nothing the matter with her. "Do you think that your husband is out of his mind?" asked the doctor. "Ay don't tank so. Ay don't tank nc never hav mind to ben out of," replied the woman.

Movelty in Charity, A novel form of charity has been in augurated in Budapest-namely, the distribution of bread and milk among children up to six years of age. The distribution, which is to bo conti?ued daily, takes place morning and even ing at a shop in a by-street. The milk is first boiled in four large boilers, whence it runs into a cooling appar atus. Fifty children are allowed to enter at a time, either with their mothers or alone, while the others wait for their turn in a neighboring warmestube (warming room), another charitable institution. These large, well-warmed rooms are found in many places in Austria-Hungary. The children are told to bring their own I mugs for the milk, but there are drink ing vessels for those who have none, which after use are cleaned and dis infected. Both the bread and milk must be consumed on the premises, and sickly children receive a second portion.-London Standard. AN ENTERTAINING TALKER. She-You say she is an entertaining' talker?

The buttons are as big as a half dollar, are slightly convex in form, and the bit of brocade that covers each mold shows a very Frenchy basket of flowers, a blossom wheathed shepherd's crook, a flute, pipe and tambourine bound with rib bons.

An Original Jdo.-i. "Truly, woman has an inventive brain, and in nothing does she show it more than in the ways that suggest themselves to her of earning money," said a woman recently. "I was told the other day of a girl, anxious td turn an honest penny, who announced that any one giving her thc name and address ol* an engaged girl would re ceive three pence! Wlien she had col lected a goodly number of names of prospective brides she took them to various shops, drapers, shoemakers, la dles' outfitters, milliners and so on, and bargained for so much for each address. The shop people gave her a certain sum-how much I do not know -and then dispatched their catalog ues to the future wife, Avho. I doubt not, was extremely astonished at the publicity her engagement enjoyed.

Just why the first parasols to lie shown should be in black and white Is not so easily explained. It is a fact, however, that most women in buying a very expensive parasol select lt. In black or white, or both, because in either case it is bound to be suit able for almost any costume. So the designers have taken this economical need Into consideration with the fol lowing admirable results: As clever as it is plain is a heavy white silk parasol with a border com posed of three rows of narrow black velvet ribbon and ono row an inch ip width; this wide ono is next to the top row. There's groat character in this smartest of showings, especially as seen in contrast with fussy, over done specimen. Prettiest, perhaps, among elaborate parasols is a filmy affair on a white silk foundation. Black chiffon is shirred down to two-thirds its depth, ending In Van Dyke points. The border is or a lacy piece of baby ribbon (one of black velvet and one of white satin), fulled along the edge. Pleasingly striking is another white Bilk parasol which is covered to more than half its depth with tucked black chiffon. This ia met by the deep bor der composed of row upon row of black velvet baby ribbon herringbone stitched together with heavy black silk. Three more rows of the ribbon edge the double chiffon mille, which is of black over white. Really plain by contrast is a white covered with black chantilly. There Isn't a hitch or a wrinkle. A row af white satin baby ribbon is fulled 'round the edge, and one of black velvet above it. There's a black chiffon chou at the top, and anotner uuwn on tba handle. Altogether an airy fairy quartet, some one of which is certain to appeal to the clever woman who regards her parasol as an accessory to rank with her fan.-Philadelphia Record. Tho Charm of Youth. There is a charm of youth and happiness that carries a certain amount of thoughtfulness for a time. Yet this charm is only a passing one, and soon falls to win consideration if it is not accompanied by a certain dignity of poise and wisdom and tact, which youth, as well as age. may pos sess. Tho old saying, "beauty is only skin deep," is daily proved by the superior charm which genuine beauty of character exerts on the most trivial minded of individuals. No young woman ?.-an afford to be bluff and careless in her treatment of the world. In thc old days of the Colonial times, manual work was more necessary than exact culture, but they have nas3ed The maker of dough nuts and dumpling's was a more impor tant factor in the society of a 100 years ago than the skilful teacher'or worker in any skilled field of toJay. Women did not have time to be proper ly educated. Their energies were limi ted to their homos. All this is changed. The world demands of any one who would reap its rewards of success a great deal of intelligence, and also unselfishness. It demands good man ners, which have their root in unsel fishness and thought for others. A wise young woman who expects io succeed in any vocation does not ex pect any consideration because of her "thoughtless" youth. She aims to be thoughtful and considerate as well as helpful. A girl who is called to enter a family as a companion, governess or even a.s a serving maid may bc so tactful and thoughtful that she is invaluable or she may be -so thought less that every one in the house is relieved when she takes her depar ture. One of the greatest elements of success which a young woman can possess is the power of effacing her own personality in her work. In other words, the power of doing her work sc quickly and so well that the Avork ej- is forgotten in the perfection of hsr work. The aid her helpful ho nd has given, the tact and care she has exercise.!, make her invaluable. She manages to make herself useful and agreeable to young and old. It is the numberless thoughtful things she has done, which a careless woman might have neglected to do, which has been the greatest value of her work, as well as her skilled knowledge. When one sees a hurried crowd of schoolgirls possessed cf the radiant charm of youth, but full of careless ness and slangy and coarse in their language, as the youth of thc begin ning of the 20th century often are, ono becomes thoughtful. No one' wishes a young pr -son to be anything but happy, but there Is a certain joy ousness which is possessed of a sweet seriousness of manner. A well bred, refined woman, trained for any work, succeeds far better today than a coarse, loud woman in any position in life. The time has gone by when exuberant youth will be accepted as an excuse for bad manne.rs.-New York Tribune. Women ?ind Perfumes. "Wood violet? Fifty cents an ounce. Thank you. Anything else? Now, I knew that girl would ask for violet before she spoke a word. Why? Well, I can't explain it exactly, only when one has seid perfumes as long as I have she anticipates her customors' tastes at a single glance. Sometimes I get the tip from thc woman's gown or her carriage or her general appear ance, hut almost invariably I can lay my hand on the right bottle of per fume or sachet before the woman ask for it." The clerk paused ?suddenly, rested her slender, well-kept hand on a bot tle of high-priced toilet water and cast a significant glance in the direction of a young woman who was bearing down upon the perfume counter. Thc new cusLomcr wore a stylish golf skirt and a chic Fedora, and had just finished a glass of milk and vichy at thc soda counter. When she had carried off ber purchase, which, sure enough, proved to be the bottle of toilet water, thc cleric remarked: "I was right you see. That sort of a girl, well-groomed, tailor-made, and given to athletics, likes toilet water in li pr ria liv bath- Sheld_iise bay rum_ like her brother, only it is a trifle too masculine. "White violet is the most popular ol' all extracte, it is particularly the favorite of the woman who dresses in gray. I have one customer who af fects the most stunning gray frocks, cloth, silk and velvet in winter, exqui site lawns and dimities in summer, and almost as strong in her passion for violet. Just she buys gray stock ings, gloves and purses to match hoi gowns, so she has every toilet acces sory in violet. It perfumes her am monia water, her face and tooth pow ders. She buys violet extract, soap and toilet water, and quantities of sachet. Yet when she is near you, you can detect just the faintest most illusive of perfumes. Why? Because she understands the art of using them. "Then take th*5 vornan who wears a great deal of purple, heliotrope or any of the blending tints, and she will use heliotrope extract which is heav ier and more lasting than violet. The rosebud girl, she of peachy cheeks and baby blue eyes, goes in for white rose, crab apple blossom or lilies of the valley, odors that are delicate. "The showy women, particularly those who wear diamonds and over trimmed gowns when they shop of mornings, select the heaviest per fumes, like frangipanni. Whenever an over-dressed woman approaches me I can safely gamble on her ordering the strongest perfume in stock". Only old-fashioned people inquire for lavender now. There's one white haired southern woman who buys it regularly, anr". I'd love to peep into her linen closet.'-New York Sv Morning /'.ories are among the pret tiest of the artificial flowers to be seen. Strings nf pearls nearly two inches in length are festooned below larger and beautifully jewelled ornaments. In negligees and blouse waists, as well as in under petticoats, silks with the small figures in the weave make up most attractively. Colonial slippers, with the small toe, thc high heel and the square buckle of gold, silver of dull jet, continue in favor for home wear. Such pretty things as there are ?n hat pins in the flower designs-sweet peas, pinks, all kinds of flowers in the soft French gray or with thc rose gold finish. A pretty hat of black is trimmed with two bite clusters of white violets with a little of thc green foliage. The hat is of velvet and the crown has small inlets of cream lace. The small figured velvets arc ex tremely popular, especially in the brown, gun metal and fawn shades. You see them in fine lino stripes and pin dots in white very close together. A pretty neck ruche for evening is made of stripes of lace insertion .alter nating with a gauze ribbon in Persian colorings. A deep frill of lace to match the insertion finishes the long ends, which reach to thc skirt hem. Small pendants in the deep bronze gold are of Egyptian design and show a beautiful combination of stones. In one of these is a beautiful, deep-col or?d topaz, and several pendants are of slender pear-shaped baroque pearls. Salary Small But Regular. "In regard to the proposition of raising the pay of congressmen, I re call a conversation held some years ago between two noted representa tives from my state," said "William H. Sargent of Texas, at the Riggs. "Both, alas! are dead. One was the big-brained and good-hearted David B. Culbertson and the other his colleague, Colonel Buck Kilgore. Kilgore was in a discontented mood one night, and remarked to his friend: "Culbertson, I'm getting tired of this congressional life. It's stale and flat, and very un profitable. A man can't save a dol lar of his salary. I'm going home to resume my profession. Confound lt, how do they expect a fellow to get along on $5,000 a year and live decent ly?"
