She did: He followed her to her hotel, named appropriately enough the "Splendide." That afternoon he renmoved there, bag and baggage. On the way he congrat ulated himself there was now a chance -and, if he knew anything of himself. a very ex.ceIlent chL:minee-of making her acquaintance. As he neared the hotel the omnibus belonging to it passed hin laden with luggage, obvious!y on its way to the station. He glanced carelessly at its occupants. He caught a glimpse of violet-gray-blue eyes and softiy watving goideu-brown hair and groaned aloud: He had missed her aa'n! In two, minutes he had buttonholed the resplendent hali porter and asked the destination of the ladies in the ninibus. "Ze ladies mit de logosh?" iuquired the functionary. "No, with the violet-no-I mean. I dare say they have got luggage," stam mered the distracted Rtobby. "Zey go to catch de last train to Milao," was the reply.

On the third day. as he was leaving the soft gloom of the interior for the blindi:-g sunlight or 1:e Piazza, he sud denly saw in front of him something exquisitely striking yet exquisitely fI miliar. It was the cherry-trimmed hat. chaperoned by an older edition of her self-bviously her mother. His first impulse was to clear the steps of the c'athedral at a bound, but lhe fortunately restrained himself in time and descended decorously. As he drew nmear he co~uld see~ that they were engaged in a most uncequal altercation with a rapacious Milanmese cabman. The violet-gray-blue eyes met him recognized him as a compatriot and appealed for aid. He, felt that a few stern words in Italidin was all1 that w~a s required. Un fort unately Ite spoke no Italian. Fixing the man with a glance of au thority be surreptitiously pressed five lira into his willing hand anud said in his most peremptory manner. "Para finarata-sagerhets-Tantstickor'" The man was dumifounded. He gasped and fell back, while Bobbyg triumphantly swept off the cherry' trimmed hat and her mother :nto the interior of the cathedral. Afte~r that the path of Bobby Dawes was strewn with roses. They stayed at the same hotel, they did Milan to gether, they lunched together, they dined together. He never spent a more glorious week in his life, and to day regards Milan as the mcost char'n ing and interesting city on the conti nent. If pressed, however, as to dc tails, his recollections are hazy. * * * * * * * He suggested for various reasons they should spend their honeymoon at Lugano. And Betty senmed delighted at the idea. One evening, not long after their arrival, th~ey wvere floating idly in a boat upon the lake listening to mandolins playing softiy ini the dis tance. "To-morrow we will go to San Salva tore," he said, looking down on her fondly. "You know why?" "No, I don't," said Betty. "Oh, yes you do," he replied, "and, what is more, this time we'll go to gether in the same car," he added playfully. "i hope so, indeed," said Betty, "I've never been up imj a funicular before, and I know 1 shall be awfully fright ened." There was a pause. "You'r'e never been up?" he said slowly. "Nev'er." she said. "Mother was al ways so frightened of funiculars: be sides, we only slept a night at Lugano, and went on," A chill struck to Bobby's heart. "Eut the cherry-trimmed hat," be faltered. "Fancy you remembering that old 'iing." she said. "I've always rather 'iked it, beccause. do you know, I was wearing it that day I first met ,;'ou in Milan. Everybody was wearing cher ry-trimmed hats just then.' "Were they?" he gasped. "Yes: I bought mine as we passed through Paris. But, talking of San Salvatore," she continued, "why were you so surprised at my never having been up?" Bobby Dawes put much hard think ing into the next few seconds, "Shruld he tell her everything or not?' 'he asked himself. "Make a clean breast of it." urged half of Bobby Dawes. "Don't: turn the conversa tion," insisted the other half, He must decide. Already she was looking at him in vague surprise. In his panic he endeavored to think of other topics of conversation, but in vain. The wash of the passing steamboat made his position a trifle insecure "Take care, dear," cried Betty.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTY If odors were solid particles. they would tend to form uiclei of cloudy condensation in supersaturated air. Dr. .Tohn Aitkeu has tested msr.k and twenty-three other odorous substances without fihding such nuclei. ;11nd he concludes that odors are gaseous anl that smell has gas its fun'!:-menta The highest kite ascent was lately made at Lindenberg, Prussia. 21.10U feet being reached. with six attached kites and sixteen thousand yards o: wire. The temperature fell froia 41 degIrees at the surface to 1": degrees below zero; the wind-Uihtee iles at surface-was jiffy-six iti!es an h.our at highest point. In a London hospital a wave siren Is used to test what sounds a deaf person hears. When once it is discovered that a certain note is not heard or only heard indistinctly a tuning fork of this note is selected, and an attempt is muade to stimulate the muscle and to arouse the nerve. If the tuning fork is not sufficient. the sound is increased by means of a resonator. In an attempt to liquefy helium, rof. Olbzewski recently produced the remarkably low temperature of 455 de rees below zero. Fahrenheit. It was done by suddenly expanding a mass of the gas helium which had been sub Icted to a pressure of about 270 pounds to the square inch. in a tem perature so low that it nearly solidi lied hydrogen. The helium showed no sign of liqueling. One's hair. if never ent. would fur nish a record of his hcntlth during life. This is the interesting discovery of atsur a .Japanese physiologist, who shows that the hair-like the finger mils-grows smaller in disease, and hat the duration of the ma lady maty >eC estimated fronm the length of the hinner section of the( hairs. The ariations are most striking in the oarse-haired races of people. The telemobiloscope, designed by a usseldorf inventor, for enabling a iot to detect a ship near at hand in fog. depends upon the fact that elec Ie waves are refected when they trike a metallic object. The appara us consists of a long box or tube. piv oted at one end and opened at the ther, containing a spark generator ear the pivoted end ar. two lenses for collecting the electric waves into bundle. A suitable motor turns the ox horizontally on the vertical pivot. s the box, slightly inclined toward the ater, is swung :arouind, the electric aves are projected outward. and if hey strike an object containing metal hey are reflected back. acting upon receiver similar to that used in wire less telegraphy. No SIght, No Cigar. "On general principles, I'd hate to e blind," said the man with the red ustache. "For one thing, I would then have to leave off smoking. So far as actual physical ability goes I'd probably be equal to puffing away as sual, but I don't believe I'd enjoy it early so much. Blind men don't. In fact, they get so little pleasure out of t that they don't even try to smoke. have met a niumber of poor fellows who had lost their eyesight. and every ne of them abjured the weed. Some f them had been pretty tall smokers, too. in their ralmy (days. But now cigar has no attrac-tion for them. "Nobody bas been able to give me a satisfactory explanation of this :hange in habit, but after a good deal of investigation I have come to the con clusion that the reason the blind do not care to smoke is be-cause they can not see the smoke. Trhe tobacco has the same flavor, and with a friend to attend to the lighting the smoking can be managed with comparative safety; yet the fel!ow who has no eyes to watch the smoke curl and drift about his head alpparently has no use for a cigar. Smoking to the absolutely blind is something entirely different from smoking in the dark. Besides, few people smoke in total darkness. Always there is starlight or firelight enough to enable a man to keep track of the smoke. When deprived of that fascinating pastime, the cigar loses its charm, and the man who is blind re signs himself to a smokeless old age." The Costliest Diadem. What is paobably the most valuable diadem in e.tistence is the gift of the women of Spain to Our Lady del Pilar, whose shrine is situated ne: r Sara gossa. The diadem is an imperial crown surrounded by a Gothic wreath. It is composed of solid gold, but such is the number of precious stones that hardly a square inch of gold is visible. There are 0000 large diamonds, of which the finest is the gift of the queen-mother, and 3000 smaller ones. The remaining stones are emeralds, sapphires, rubies, pearls, turquoises, opals, topazes and amethysts.-New York Evening World. The Evening-Up Process'.

The Oklahloma Farmer p)rints a de scription of such a convenience which would be even more useful ill the South than at the North. I saw recently on the farm of one of the largle' hog raisers of Southeastern Iowa a rem'ient wallow that wats about one foot deep and six or seven feet square. This is filled with water from an undtergrournd pipe leading fromu a ink onl a lill and is emptied into a tile drain by removing a plug at the bottom. This was done about every t~ree (lays. and the tank was disin fectd with crude carbolic acid. It may seem ridiicutlous to somie peo l to pirovide a bath tub for hogs. but it pays every time., because clean wvater helps to insure good health. It is true that the hog is a nion-swieating animal ard that ini order to eool himself lhe re scrts to mud and1~ water, when hle can ot get clecan water only. Notes of Interest.

Lydia V P'f'kharn's Vecetable Com pound was prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. For special advice regarding this im portant period women are invited to write to Mrs, Pinkham at Lynn. Mass., and it will be furnished absolutely frec of charge. The present Mrs. Pinkiam .s the daughter-in.law of Lydia E. Pink ham. her assistant before her decease. and for twenty-five years since her advice has been freely given to sick women. Re:d what Lydia E. Pinkhani's Com pound did for Mrs. Hyland and Mrs. Hinkle: Dear Mrs. Pinitham:i: " I heud been sufering with displa"emnent of the organs for years and was passing through the 'hange of life.

How Ants Sleep. During steep the ant's boily is quite still. Occansionally may be' no:ed ai r'guhir' lifting up and .etting down of the for'e feet, one leg after an other. with almost rhythmic motion. The antennae also have a gentle, quvering. apparently involuntary movement, almost bi'eat hintg. The soundness of slumber wa~s frequently proved by applying the feather end of a quill. The feather-tip is lightly drawn along the back, stroking "with the fur." There is no motion. Again and again this action is ropcated. the stroke being made gradually hea" ier. Still there is no change. The strokes are directed upon the head, with the same result. Then the feather is applied to the 'tek with a waving motion intendeu. to tickle it. The ant remains motionless. Fin ally the sleeper is aroused by a sharp toch of the quill. She stretches out her head; then her legs, which sh:2 shakes also; step's nearer to the light, yawns, and begins to comb her anten nae and brush her head and mouth. Then she clambers ever her sleeping comrades, dives into an openl gang way, and soon has said "Goodl morn ing" to another tour of duty. Be it well noted, however, that she has gone to work, as she and all her fel lows always do, not only rested, but with her pers~on peCrfectly' cleaned! 1. C. Mc'Cook, in Harper's Magazine. An Old Time Joke. t is always to be borne inm mind that the whole period 1 have been de scribing was a profundly serious one, and that the buoyant element which in these days relieves it'seif from over-solicitude by a bonmot or an ane cdote had not then come in. Among the whole circle of the Fed eralists, for instance, I can find no repartee which seems really modern. except that reported to me by the only genuine Federalist whom I knew personally, James Richardson, a say ing, namely, of my grandfather, Stephen Higginson at a gathering of the Federalists, in their days of defeat at the house of George Cabot in Brookline. After a good deal of dreary lamenting, my grandfather had at last th-e audacity to suggest to them that if it bccame necessary to dwell in the came house with a cat, it would not do invariably to address the ohnor' ious animal as "cat;" sometimes you must call her "pussy." There was, however, scarcely an occasion where such a remark would not, in those days, have been thought to savor 01 levity; and if we are to treat the whole thing as an historic situation it must be more seriously approached -Thomas Went'vorth Higginson, i: he Atlantic.

Here is something in the course If natural phenomena (?) that will in terest and instruct the little folk li they look into it curiously: Into a :umbler half full of water dissolve just as much commOn table salt as :an be held in solution. Let it stand for a few days and see how the salt creeps out of the water, up the in. side of the glass and down the out side-just a thing of life trying to escape from its environment. And when all the salt is apparently out of prison the water remains as saltyj as before! It is a pretty demonlstra Ition.-New York Press. Feeding and Stabting a Motor Car. A young motorist, endeavoring to convinCe a country inn-keeper' that Ithe decay of coaching was more than compensated for by the spread of motoring as a pastime, exclaimted, as a final argument. that his car was of fortyhorsepower, "the equal, sir, of ten relays of coach horser'." The next morning he read in his bill: "To feeding and stabling, S( shillings." He ased the landlord for an extplana ion. "The charge for 'osses is S shillin' a head, sir," was the reply.
