By CHRISTABEI/ROBINSON. In contrast to the load of excursionists going out of the harbor was the figure in the rowboat, indifferently .taking the slap, slap of the steamer's wake. More than one handkerchief fluttered in his direction before merry laughter died away, but perhaps none noticed that he was young and handsome and ought to have been happy. A girl in the stern, who might have seen and understood, was not looking. Chin buried in hand, she read a newspaper and looked up only occasionally when popcorn papers or lunch boxes were thrown over the side. "D A.anln rr Vioroolf O f IcnS'th- She XVUUOIU5 uvsiov.**. M? toBsed her paper overboard and raised a pair of very tender, thoughtful eyes - In a determined effort to appear interested in the coast line, just beginaing to appear. In the rowboat, the young man, too, was rousing himself. Impatiint ly he noticed the debris left behind ^by the steamer. Taking a firmer grip v f,a oarg he pulled for an island. ,'jjp "Convention school teachers," he s&ld to himself, "going to Plymouth. ; Of course they have to see all the > , r . sights, but wouldn't they kick if the *v children cluttered up the school yards like they've just decorated the bay!" { ..Grounding his boat he jumped tLshore and sat down to do some hard thinking.

THwfc* thoro nrmctirlprations Of the lit i- tie teacher entered again. "She was always tactful, and if some other people?Oh, pshaw!" he 'interrupted himself. "What's the use of thinking about dad? He'll never realize that I might be a useful member of society and I'm not likely to go crawling back begging for a decent job in his business. I would go in w swimming if this water wasn't so dirty. Between sea weeds and empty boxes a fellow would have to swim out a mile to get clear. Hello! There's a newspaper floating in on that culch." Reaching out with a stick, he poked the paper towards him. The little yellow address slip read plainly, "Baxter Evelyn L. Bay avenue, Detroit." Amazed, he carefully spread the she^t before him. - ' "The Detroit Call. Well, where did you come from? Must have been tossed overboard from that steamer. By George! How does it happen that her paper is floating round , these parts? Of course it must mean that, a maid has brought it East on her waj* home to I^ova Scotia for the ammer." Meditatively he sat until the trouble crease left his forehead, and the present was far behind the ruture passing before him?until a new idea came to him. Why not try to see whp brought that paper? Even cross old Mary, from her home, would have news. He jumped into the boat and rowed vigorously to the city. "Is there another boat for Plymouth soon?" he asked on the wharf. "No? Well, when does the last one return?" Eight hours to wait to satisfy his curiosity and a tiny hope vigorously growing in his heart. Of course he . couldn't wait. Whoever went down on that boat might'be seasick and return by train. Again, possibly, no one went down to Plymouth?the paper might have come from a steamer going to St. John. -He must find out. It was a very poor, but impatient, young man who went to Plymouth by train, and an interested, observant young man that alighted and "did" Plymouth in a rush unequalled by any of the visiting crowd of teach ers, all decorated with their little State badge. "Michigan." What a lot of Michigan teachers, and not one from Detroit! At the end of an hour he was tired and discouraged as he crossed the gang plank of the steamer and took up a position of vantage to watch the'arrival for the home trip. Of course the pretty young woman with the thoughtful eyes came aboard. One would have been surprised if she had failed to carry out her excursion plans or other undertakings. She had lost part of her abstraction and her eyes looked straight into the two looking" for her, as she stepped on board. Without any preliminary two hands were stretched toward him, and with equal expedition two extremely satisfied young people found a niche in th-s bow where they lost themselves until the pushing crowd signified that the steamer had arrived in Boston. "Of course it will take me much longer to make my way here than with father's help in Duluth. But he's hard as nails, you know?and you wouldn't want me to go crawling back to him like a whipped beast, would you?" were part of his words. "What if I should say that he wants you to return? Would you think me in a hurry to marry you?" Eloquent silence spoke for a moment before being interrupted. *How can you urove it?"

There is no institution that has J more romance attached to> it than the | Rank nf Knelarid_ according to Ches ter E. Symonds, a banker, of London. "It has been nearly ruined on several occasions; it has been beset by thieves, one gang robbing it of more than $500,000 thirty years ago; forgery and frauds have been practiced upon it by the most accomplished criminals in history, and yet 'As safe as the Bank of England' is a saying which, in spite of the institution's many ups and downs, is true to the letter. Had it not been for a very smart ruse on the part of one of the directors the bank would have failed over a century ago. This is what happened: A panic sprang up among ^ banknote holders, a panic that spread and spread before any one was aware of what was happening. One morning, just after the bank opened, an angry and excited crowd thronged the street, demanding cash for notes. The value of the notes in the hands of the mob was actually aouDie mat oi me gold in the bank, and the outlook was a bad one. Gold had to be got to pay to every claimant, but that took time. So the directors sent men with notes into the crowd, and their claims were attended to first. Each was paid in sixpences and shillings. Some of them walked away with sacks of shillings over their backs, but the time gained by thte method of payment saved the bank, and every claim was paid. "After this the bank decided to reassure its depositors by displaying in the windows and near the cashiers' desks sacks overflowing with sovereigns, but the public did not know that the sacks were full of coal, with only a layer of sovereigns on topi"?

The Telephone in the (Country. The farmer's wife has a new resource. Her lot has been improved In many waysi in the last ten years, rhe "separator" and the creamery iave relieved her of the severest toil )f the dairy. The rural free delivery wrings magazines and newspapers to ler door. Lately the telephone has jut her within distance of her neighDors. The nearest farmhouse may be lalf a mile away, and the Tillage :hree miles. The lines of poles and :he wires, perhaps merely the wire fence, have suddenly drawn her into in intimate relation to both, unknown x> her before. To one who has never experienced the solitude of the farm t is hard to realize the joy of the vife and mother at being able to consult a friend about the cut of the jaby's coat, the recipe for mince pies >r the dose of cough syrup. The demand for the telephone in :he country is imperative. "Everybody's got one," said the village storekeeper to the city visitor. 'Why, there's three families that's being helped by the town, and every ane of 'em has got a telephone. , Old Mis' Bearce says she'd rather go without her victuals than have the telephone taken out!" What a testimony to the desire for human companionship! The gossiping Instinct, tome cynic will say.

Now For the Spiral Garter. An eminent London physician, whose specialty is the treatment of children, inveighs against the modsrn suspender?a substitute for the ;arter introduced during recent years and very generally worn by the present generation of girls. The suspender is at attachment of the stay that clips the edge of the stocking above the knee and keeps that garment taut and trim. Mothers and nurses applaud its neat appearance, and children like it because it is comfortable. But many of them are prone to the use of the suspender in a very tense form, injurious to health and growth, urging against a loose strip of elastic its inability to keep the stockings from wrinkling. The old elastic garter worn loose defeated its own aim; worn tight it interfered with the circulation of the blood. The suspender in its taut form is apt to press unduly upon the hips of the growing girl and to drag, her down. It is condemned on this account by the specialists, who recommend in its stead the old-fash ioned grandmother's garter, made of cotton. These were knitted by hand upon two fine steel pins, and usually fourteen stitches were set on the first pin and the simplest knitting pattern known was employed. Expert knitters, however, chose to embellish their handiwork with openwork bars between solid pieces, to vary the monotony of the design. The essential characteristic of the garter was its length, which was never under one ;md a half yards and often measured close upon seventy-two inches. It was wound round and round the leg, and as a rule below the knee, while the final end was tucked into the rest I 1 f IICI II I ra\fp^4 to keep the whole sufficiently firm ai reliably secure. Such garters do not compress t; limbs nor Injure the circulation, n 3o they strain the strength of growli girls.?London Mail. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. Speaking about remarkable worn* in the United States, no one shou overlook Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, Chicago. She was elected preside of the National i^uucauonai associ tion in Itoston the other day. Whi Mrs. Young wants an honor of th kind all 3he has to do is to say so ai leave tt.e rest to her enthusiasl friends. The nominating committee of t!

Eureka, or, rather, Heureka, is the exclamation of Archimedes, the Syracusan philosopher, when he found oul how to test the purity of Hiero's crown. The tale is that Hiero suspected that a craftsman to whom he had given a certain weight of gold to make into a crown had alloyed the metal, and he asked Archimedes to ascertain if his suspicion was well founded. The philosopher, getting into his bath, ob: served that the water ran over, and it flashed into his mind that his body displaced its own bulk in water. Now, suppose Hlero gave the goldsmith one pound of pure gold, and the crown weighed one pound, it is manifest that if the crown were pure gold both ought to displace the same quantity of water: but they did not do so, and therefore the gold had been tampered with.
