OX You will find the cottage in perfect order," wrote the Professor; "it has been newly furnished throughout, and I thin!: I can say that it is furnished artistically." "Delightful," cried my wife when I had read so far from the letter in vbich the owner of a seaside cottage on Long Island Sound described the place we had rented for the season. "Mrs. Rogers told me that Prot Smith was the best of landlords; and I'm sure, Herbert, it*will please you to go into a cottage for the summer that ls furnished artistically. Most summer cottages, as we know, are simply dreadful." "Simply .dreadful," though vague, was understood by me, and I quite agreed with Mrs. Burton in her esti mate of the attractiveness, internally, of the average summer cottage, and shared in her delight at the prospect of something better wbich was held >ut' of our new landlord's letter. A "Professor," of course, would hav? the proper ideals about art as applied to household decoration. We were al ready the subject of envy among our friends because we Were going to the seaside so early this year, and after we had gone about bragging for a while about the artistic attractions of our cottage this envy amounted to positive dislike. "What airs those Burtons give themselves!" said our neighbors*, lit tle knowing what was ahead of us, and forgetting the adage that "pride goeth *before a fall." The Professor met us at the station, when we arrived at our village. We gasped when we saw him. "He must be a Professor of ploughing or hay ing," whispered my wife. Under his thin wagged a billy-goat beard, and he was for all the world the figure of the typical farmer. We later found out that early in his youth-he was now about seventy-he had taught in the village school; and that the title of "Professor" had clung to him ever since. However, nobody could have been more courteous or kind than the Professor, ile did all he possibly could to make things pleasant for us, and his cottage was, as he had prom ised, well and newly and comfortably furnished. But the arctic end of the decorations! "Horrors!" whispered my wife un der her breath when" her eyes saw the pictures that hung everywhere on the walls. There were oil paintings 3f a quality that-well, they were what my wife-exclaimed horrors. Oil paintings of dogs' heads done in glar ing colors, and supposed portraits of dead and gone men and women which make us think that if the originals in any way resembled them it was well that they were dead and gone. And they hung on every available foot of the wall. The Professor pointed them out with pride, and told us the history of each one. To him, it was plain to see, tliey represented the flowerlag of a perfect art. They were mostly fam ily portraits. "What in the world are we to do ibout them?" asked iny wife, when the Professor departed. "We will be the laughing stock of all our friends who visit us, with those objects on. our walls, after all we have said about the artistic merits of our cot tage." "Why, we'll take them down," said I. But Mrs. Burton demurred to this. She is a kind-hearted woman. "It would break the Professor's heart to do that," she said, and I think she was right. So we let them hang. My wife had, however, one of her own pictures with her in her trunk a splendid little photograph of the Venus of Milo, and this she got out ind hung up over her desk in the front room. .Thank Heavens I brought this," she said; "I'll try not to look at the others." But, alas, for our good inten tions, for our desire not to hurt the Professor's feelings! ^ Venus has caused a lot of trouble in the world, and she brought it into our cottage on the Sound. The Pro fessor was a deacon of the severe old school. He came to the cottage next day to see if we wanted anything, and his horrified eyes fell upon our Venus. It caused him more alarm than his ancestral oil paintings had caused us. He stood for a moment as though stupefied, while we stared at him in wonder, and then he made a mad rush for the wall and began to take down the portraits of his grand parents and other relatives and hur ried them out of doors, away from the contagion of the calm Venus! "My folks can't stay in the same house with that hussy!" be cried. And they did not. He took all his pictures away, and now Venus has the cottage to herself so far as pic tures are concerned. "Well, at any rate," said my wlfo, "the cottage certainly is artistic now." But the Professor has put us down as objects for earnest prayer. Her Proposal Turned Down. There is a small town up the State that boasts a female preacher, and tho lady's duties are many. One day she may visit the sick, another attend a funeral and the next baptize a baby. One afternoon she was preparing the sermon for the following Sunday, when she heard-a timid knock at the par sonage door. Answering the summons she found a bashful young German standing on the step and twirling his straw hat in his hands. "Good afternoon" the pre?cheress remarked. "What do you wish?" "Dey say der minister lifed in dis hous, hey?" "Yes, sir." "Yess? Veli I vant to me kit mar rlet." "All right; I can marry yt?,* ?fe said. The lady's hair ls beginning to ver and the German glanced at ft. Then he jammed his hat on his hew? and hurried down the walk. "Whafti the matter?" she cried arter him. "You gits no chance mit me," he called back. "I don't vant you;-I ha/ got me a girl alreaty!"~Philadelphh Evening- Telegraph. An Illustrated Arab Proverb. "There is none so poor tut there ls one poorer. A poor Arab spent his last bara on a handful of dates, and went up on a high cliff to eat them and die. As he threw the stones over a lean hand shot out below him aud caught them. "Ho," said he, "why do you catch my date stones?" "Because, O Brother," answered a weak voice, "I have not eaten these three days and Allah has sent these ctone.s to save my life.". "Praise be to Allah," answered the first man, "for he has saved me also, for here is one poorer than I." And opt h men went }nfo the city. CONCERNING BORAX. lt Was Known and Used Many Centu : rles Ago. Herodotus, 'the father of history, al though he was a very close observer and wrote of almost everythlug com ing under bis eyes, does not any where speak of borax or of what we know as such. Yet there is no doubt that it was known aud used In his time and earlier. In the desert re gions, " consisting of Old lake beds In Thibet and Asia Minor, and from the volcanic regions of Tuscany, in Italy, the world's supply of borax was ob tained until" about fifty years ago, wh?n North and South America began to present fields nearer home. The favorite"^fegions for its existence, in p?ying quantities, occur most general ly .where old, dry lakes are found, sit uated in volcanic regions. Italy-is an exception to this; and, although ver dure is abundant at Castlenuevo and elsewhere near by where boraic acid is produced, yet the region is volcanic, and gases are constantly emanating from the numerous orifices that abound over a large tract of country. In Italy borax, in solution, is produced from the waters of many springs; in Asia Minor and Thibet it is obtained as a white powder and in a crystal lized form from the old, dry lake beds. On the Sea of Marmora there ar? large deposits of borate of lime, in-, which there exists a large percentage of boracic acid." Of late years an Eng lish company has secured these de posits, aud for some years has been profitably producing borax from them. As might be expected in such a coun try, borax was discovered In many places in the high, dry, desert plateaus ,'of South America as early as 1825. About 1833 deposits were discovered fat Ascotan, in Bolivia, and about the same time borax discoveries were made in Tem and Chili, where, by rude methods, crystallized borax was made in limited quantities; the quan tity of borax then used in the world, compared with what is used now, was small, but the prices realized were high, being in most countries from 30 cents to $1 a pound. A strange feature about ' borax Is" that legions producing it have in no case as yet been exhausted, the min eral in the old lake regions continuing to send up borax from below as an alkaloid, and where worked this year lt may be worked again In the year following. Especially if there be any precipitation of snow or rain at any time of the year, the. waters will penetrate the soil and produce chemi cal action that brings the borax, in either a powdered or crystallized state, to the surface.-Mines and Mining.

Mr. Pectawee-Well, I'm delighted to say that the exhibition is now open Miss Klubmuch-I want you to help me to persuade your wife Mr. Pectawee sadly)-Pm very sor ry, but it's no-use geiting me to belp. I would only do your cause more harm than good just now. Miss Klubmuch-Why, what do you mean? Mr. Pectawee-Well, you see, I'm on a husk mattress again. Miss Klubmuch-On a what? Mr. Pectawee-Husk mattress. Did you ever have to sleep on a husk mat tress? Of all the lumpy, bumpy, knob by beds of torture lt is big IT. You're all up hill and down dale on one, too, and the man never was made who could lie comfortably on one-not even a lawyer. It's slithery and slldejy,'and gives you the creeps and crawls, and sends cold shivers chasing themselves up and down your back every time you touch it. And, besides, it rustles and rattles so every time you make the slightest movement that you have Just as much chance of getting to sleep as an idiotic kitten tumbling around in a waste-paper basket. Oh, it's a dandy for real luxurious Insomnia, I tell you. Miss Klubmuch-But what's it for? Mr. Pectawee-I'm not positive, but I think this time it's because I got home very late from a banquet a few nights ago.. Maybe it's for something else, but that's the only iniquity I've been up to lately that I can remem ber. Miss Klubmuch-I mean, why do yo? sleep on one Biucefltyou dislike them so much? Mr. Pectawee (gloomily)-Oh,"-it's not my choice; don't believe that for a second. It's Marie's. It's a little pleasantry of hers. Ton see, she never blows me up. or nags me, or makes my life a burden In any verbal way when I do something she doesn't approve of. Initead she just ships my good old comfortable hair mattress off to be renovated, slaps this husk hor ror pn my bed, and there It stayu un til she thinks I'll be good again, and all the time she's tho fond and patient and forgiving wife. But as long as It's on my bed I know I'm in disgrace Just the same. It's there now. So you see I can't help you to persuade her to do*anything. ALEX. RICKETTS. Effect of Radium on the Ey.;. P. H.

TRIAL BOTTLES FREE. By Ellen Page Finn. In poor attire she was and poverty &ad drawn its gaunt lines on all of her environment, but there was a rich beauty in her face, and the sen suous symmetry of figure seemed to give warmth and color to the thin and faded gown she wore. Her little room was high up, and near its one window she sat by a small table on which stood a typewrit er. A few sheets of paper were strewn around, and half a page on the machine showed her work had ended with no more to follow. She sat with her hands folded in her lap-clenched, if the tense lines were read aright-and gazed helplessly and hopelessly out toward the gray sky that seemed to come so close down, and yet was so far away. Tear stains were on her cheeks where the pink was fast fading, and what was gentle in her face was growing harder as she fought day by day and night by night the desperate fate that was crowding her to the wall. That temptation was hers could be easily said, for is not beauty in ad versity the first food of the tempter? But she had struggled bravely, and the sharp click, click of her typewrit er had been sweeter music to her than the song of the tfird in the gilded cage belonging to the girl who occupied the suite of elegant apartments on a lower floor. Still, she could not help thinking, help contrasting her* starvation, her rags, her dreadful poverty with the luxury and ease she saw about her, ready to come at her call. ' She was cold, hungry and p?nniless; the pawnbroker had everything ex cept a gold medallion of her mother which she wore around her neck. She ;ook it in her hand,and, as she looked into the face so like her own, the tears came to ber eyes again, and throwing her head, upon her arms on the typewriter, she sobbed aloud. .--For an instant only she gave way to her feelings; then she rose to her feet and, standing by her typewriter, the laid her hand upon it as if lt were sentient and knew. "Be still now if you will, my dear." she said to it smiling, "but to-morrow you may click again, for I know I shall get something to do, and then we will have a royal feast, a lire and ?ood cheer. You and I-" She was interrupted by a knock at the door. "Come in," she called cheerily, and i man whom she had seen before mme in. "Excuse me, miss," he said, not un kindly: "but I come for the pay for 'he typewriter. You are two months behind, and the boss said 1f you couldn't pay I was to take it away." All the sunshine gone at one short aiessage: all the hope, all the comfort he hopeless always-find in to-morrow -all gone, and with a moan she ^nk nto the chair by the table. The collector in his poor way tried o cheer her, but she only shook her >ead. Suddenly she dashed the tears from '1er eyes, her face grew desperately erce and hard, andt she shook her self as if she would be rid of her burden. "Come to-morrow morning," she said harshly, "and if I have no money you may take the machine." "It's contrary to orders, miss, but i'll do that much for a* poor gi-rl, even if I have to suffer for it. Hoping you will have good luck, miss, good dav, miss," and he went out. wondering what there was in the face of the girl he had never seen there before. An hour later she was in the ornee of a broker for whom she had done some work, and who offered her other assistance, which she had refused. When the collector called the next morning he found the typewriter in its case waiting for him. "Here's your money," said the girl, "and you may take your machine. I shall have no further use for it." The man was curious, and would have questioned her, but her eyes for bade either curiosity or sympathy, and he turned to go out with the ma chine and the money he had come to collect. "Here," she said to him, as she held out the picture of her mother, "you have always been kind to me. Take this and give it to your little girl, that one with blue eyes like mine, w'.w came here with you once. Tell ht / lt is the picture of a mother whose lit tle girl was "lost in the great dty. That is all; goodby." The wise creditor is slow to lend to che man who has scrubby cattle. TRAGEDY OF AN INSECT. The Sand Fly Lives but a Day After Coming into the Light. Here is the tragic story of the sand fly. It has but a day to live in the light. In order to earn the right to that day of life it lives from one to*three years in darkness, down in the mud at the bottom of lakes or rivers. Moreover, the sand fly is perfectly harmless. It does not bite. It has no sting. It cannot even eat. All it can do is to flit about for a few hours, enjoying the light of day or the glare of an electric lamp. Prof. C. B. Davenport, of the Uni versity of Chicago, tells about the delicate, beautiful little insects. The sand fly lg known to scientists familiarly as the May fly. In scientific terms, it Is called ephermerlda. This name is taken from the Greek word ephemeros, which means histing only for a day. To the scientists the sand fly is one of the most interesting and beautiful of insecte. The fly lives but a day at most, but before ii sees the light it has lived for from one to three years under the water in the form of what the seien Usts call a nymph. This nymph can both walk and swim. As it grows lt ?nolts, and after about the ninth mo] tiny wings appear on its thorax. These <row larger until the insect como; forth from the water a ??and fly. I hen has but o*:e duty-to lay its egg> Hiis done, the sand fly y.fgzagr brough tho air until its brief life i* .nded. V7o promptly obtain TT.

S. gunboat Prairie, has written his motlier a num. ber of interesting letters in the form of a diary of a 10,000 mile^trip on the gunboat in the tropical seas. Hoff miester joined the navy in Indianapo lis. His diary in part is as follows. ..We were given our first 'liberty.' or permission to go ashore, at Trin'dad, Port of Spain, Jan. 24, 1002. The streets in Trinidad are of heavy block pavement and are kept clean by a species of bird called "turkey buzzard,' which is as large as the ordinary buz zard. It is a penalty to kill one of these birds.- There are many coolie slaves here, brought from India, .ind after five years of bondage they are given transportation back to their na tive land, though very few take advan tage of this offer. "We took a trip to the leper hospi tal, which is situated just beyond the outskirts of the city, and saw many distressing and pitiful sights among the lepers. The hospital resembles a fine palace, and it .s in charge of the sisters o? charity. "After leaving Trinidad we were again given shore leave at 'Pitch Lake,' La Brea, which, by the way, is one of the seven wonders of the world. The lake is about a half mile from the town and the road leading to it is made entirely of pitch, and over seven acres was used in the course of con struction. The lake looks like a vast pond. There are many shallow places in it filled with water and there are several small islands covered with tropical vegetation. The lake is of very solid substance, much like black rubber. "One of the overseers told our party that tiiey had dug down to a depth of ?5 feet and had not struck bottom He said they had been digging in the same place for the past seven years and that the place tills up again with pitch twenty-four hours after they stop. The pitch is taken from the lake to a steam plant, where it is melted and run into barrels. The barrels are then loaded onto overhead cable cars and transported to the docks, where they are loaded into vessels and ship ped all over the world. "When we were 'crossing the line,' as the sailors term the equator, we were hailed at 8.30 a. m. by Neptune Rex, king of the sea. "Promptly at 9 a. m. the following day all hands were 'piped to quarters' to receive King Neptune, who came aboard surrounded by his staff and at tendants. They paraded to the 'fo'cas tle,' where a large platform had been raised for the occasion. The roll was then called and each sailor was taken up before Neptune and asked if he knew of any reason why he should not be made a true and loyal subject to 'his Majesty King Neptune.' 'Each sailor replied that he did not, and he was then turned over to the 'barbers' of Neptune's staff and shaved, first being lathered with a mixture of soap, tar, Hour and mo lasses, which was put on with a white wash bn:sh. After being shaved, each man was placed In a large tank of salt water and held there until the next victim was ready."-Indianapolis Sun. Playing Cards In Russia. In Russia the manufacturo of play ing cards is an imperial monopoly. In 1848 14,000 packs were issued daily, but the demand was so much in ex cess of this that a petition was ad dressed to the czar praying for a still more liberal supply. Among the card devotees the Russian soldiers are conspicuous. They commonly carry packs in their pockets, but when rhere ls an actual call to t?rras and they pre pare themselves for the baitletield they make it a point to get rid of all their cards. This is due to a super stltion amounting to conviction, which leads them to believe that to retain them upon their persons at such a time would be to court gi ave disaster.-Ohio Valley Manufacturer.
