A HITCH -H"H"M"M .I-X-1-?-1- l-l- I-I-I-X-l-I'-i-l-W-?* Eva Carrington, tho brido elect, was a beauty. Eva's soft blue eyes and bright little ways wrought dire destruction in the ranks of the ?tronger sex, but ?he appeared quite unconscious of her power or indifferent to it. To all intents and purposes she had promised to marry Charlie Nel thorpe. His will was her law and to please him the chief object of her life. In short, his programme seem ed in a fair way to De carried out. Her total submission delighted bini, and he took every advantage of it. It was not in him to show generosity to a woman or indeed to anything he thought weaker than himself. Ho was the sort of man who is brutal to his dogs and horses ?ind overbearing to his. servants, who, in short, tyrannizes whenever he can do so without fear of retalia tion. His nature asserted itself in Iiis dealings with the woman ho loved, and he took the keenest pos sible pleasure in trading on her for bearance, taxing her endurance to the utmost and showing off her j ?pliant will and obedient temper to tthe world at large. It was all a part of the system that could not fail. Charlie went on giving his petty arrogance full play until, as was on ly to be expected, things came to a crisis. The wonder was they had siot done so long before. On the occasion of Lady Brown Jones' ball he went the length of lorbidding his fiancee to dance round .dances with any one but himself, and, though she received his com mands without a murmur, her soul rose in passionate revolt against his .tyranny. This last test that he had tdevised seemed to her the worst of all. AS a matter of fact, she had submitted patiently to far harder ones, but we all know the female ca pacity for swallowing a camel and ?training at a gnat, and Eva was no less inconsistent than the rest of her sex. The gnat stuck in her throat and obstinately refused to be dislodged. There always must be a last straw, and this was it. ?When the ball was half over, Lord Dolly put in an appearance, and at that moment Eva happened to be (sitting quite alone. Charlie had left .her for a minute or two to speak to a friend, and she was looking wist fully at the maze of couples that re solved before her. Lord Dolly made straight for her. "Not dancing, Miss Carrington! Luck for me, by Jove I Ripping waltz, this. Have a turn ?" He stuck out his elbow inviting ly, but Eva turned away, biting her lip. ' "No, thank you," she answered in a low tone. "I can't dance with jou, Lord Dolly." "Can't?" echoed his lordship. ''How's that? What's up? Not ill, ?re you? Nor cross with me, eh?" i Eva shook her head. ? ! "No, I am not ill or cross, hut hut L have promised Charlie to walta ? only with him. He doesn't like to 1 see me waltz with other men." j ' Lord Dolly choked down the forcible but inelegant remark, clear ?ed his throat violently and ran his fingers through his hair. The two latter, proceedings were signs of se vere mental disturbance. I There was a slight pause. ' "And ho dances so awfully bad ly," Eva went on, with a queer lit tle catch in her breath. ' jHe can't walta a bit-not a little wee bit. He r-holds you all wrong." Her voice quivered and broke on the last 7/ord, and she looked up at the man at her side with great tear ful eyes, like forgetmenots drowned in dew. That look finished it. Lord Dolly was only a man. "Beastly shame !" he said hurried ly. "Come with.me. Nice and quiet out on the veranda. A fellow can talk there, don't you know. Come along." I iSd J3va went. ? * ' . . . 9 ' . Charlie Nelthorpe was bristling ?with outraged pride ' and wounded sdi esteem when he went to pay his {customary visit to Eva on the day following Lady Brown-Jones' ball. {The fact that Eva could forget ifcer ?elf and. tho respect that was due to him so far ns tc sit on the veranda ?with Lord Dolly for half on hour lhad Leen a severe blow ta him, and he .had not yet recovered from the ?hock. She was reading when he went into the room, but she laid her;book ?aside at once. "Oh, CharhVisthatyou?" . Charlie frowned. ' "How often have I told you, my dear Evs,.thaia self evident fact ?? jquires ; so asserting?" he asked in 3iis most dogmatic tone. ? She shrugged her shoulders. ! "How often? Oh, I don't know. & hundred times, X dare say. You look cross, Charlie." . Charlie frowned again. There Btes an intangible something in SSva's tone and manner that was not wont tob?? there, something that he could neither defino nor understand, 4hoagh ho felt it instinctively. ^. arn ^t cross, Eva, but I am tfrieved-grieved beyond' measure. Sf our conduct last night caused mo acute pain, the inore so aa yon ex pressed no regret f or it But I hope you are in a better froma of mind today and ready to say you are aor> *?jr for what you di?M_tIntil you have done so I really don't feel lean kiss you." Charlie fully expected that this stupendous threat would reduce Eva to the lowest depths \>f despair and bring her, figuratively speaking, to her knees, but for once was he out in his calculations. She drew up her slender figure and pursed up her rosy lips with an air that made him feel vaguely uneasy. Was it to de fy him? Yes. Her next words proved that it was so. AI am not 6orry," she said. "Not a bit. I am. glad. I would do it again." Charlie gasped. Tho situation was so unlooked for that he could not rise to it ail at once. "As for kissing me," Eva went on, with a little disdainful move, "well, you will never have tho chance of doing that ugain, so you need not excite yourself." Charlie found his voice then. "You are talking at random now, Eva," he said severely, "a bad habit;, against which I have always warned you. Will you be kind enough to explain yourself?" "Oh, certainly," Eva answered. "I can do it in a very few words. Lord Dolly proposed to me last night, and I accepted him." Charlie gasped again. "Bu^ you are engaged to me," ho ejaculated. "You must be mad. You can't seriously contemplate throwing me over for Dolly Dash wood. The thing's impossible l" She looked at him and smiled. "Incredible as it may seem to you, I do contemplate it." "But - but - but," stammered Charlie, "this is very--er-extraor- ! dinary behavior on your part, Eva. Are you aware that you propose to treat me in a most dishonorable way, and-and-er-in short, very badly?" , I Her face grew grave. "I should be sorry to do that," she said more gently. "I-I don't want io be dishonorable or to treat you badly, Chai lie, but I am only hu-1 man, and no one hut myself ?nowa what I have gone through in tho last few months. You have tried me too hard. I was very fond of you at one time, and if you hod ire; d me fairly I should have been fond of you still. But you would wear out a saint, and I am only a woman. I don't think Lord Dolly would be hard on me. He may not he very brilliant, but at all events ho is a man-the sort of man wo call a gentleman-and knows how to be generous, even to such, an al-* together inferior creature as a mere woman." " j . She paused and loosed critically at her rejected lover, who now pre sented a truly pitiable appearance, with all the starch taken out of him and a general air of limp depression pervading his being. "That is all," she went on pres ently. "But before you go there ia one thing that I should like to im-1 press upon you for future guidance -it is always j worth a man's while to be just and fair, even to a wo man." She paused again and contemplat ed him with her big blue eyes, but he said nothing. He was too be wildered to even speak. It seemed to him that all the laws of creation were reversed and the whole scheme of the universe turned upside down, There was a hitch in the system somewhere. It had failed.-London Truth. Her Consolation. . A woman was f?entenced to im prisonment by a bench of magis trates the presiding justice of wMch was a well known officer ol militia, whose pride in his regiment vas the subject of public comment. On receiving her sentence she thus addressed the bench: "Well, your worships, my father was lagged for life, and my husband is .doing ten yeavs' *hard,* and I have a brother and a sister that are two out and out had ohos, but I thank the Lord that made me that nobody belong ing to me was ever connected wi' the 'milishy!'"-London Tit-Bits.

The Kind You Ha?8 Always Sears thi> Signature of WHAT IS ELECTRICITY? An Enigma Whoso Solution ls a Puzzle to tho Scientists. What is electricity ? First we must ask what is positive electricity ? and tho answer is we do not know. For myself I do not even guess, beyond supposing it to be a mode of mani festation or a differentiated portion of the continuous and all pervading ether. It seems to exist in lumps the size of tho atoms of matter, and no portion of it less in bulk than an atom has ever been isolated or appears likely vo be isolated. But, although it may have bulk, it ap pears as if it had no appreciable mass; the massiveness or inertia of tho atom is probably due to some thing else, in fact to the possession *of negative charges in equal amount. This part of the doctrine is not yet certain. More investigation is urg ently needed into the meaning and properties of positivo electricity. Meanwhile wo shall only be follow ing the lead of Professor J. J.Thom son if we assume that a unit of posi tive electricity has a massiveness (or what is often inaccurately called "weight") either zero or very small, most probably very small; perhaps about 1 per cent of the mass of some atoms of matter may be duo to the positive electricity which they contain. But concerning negative elec tricity we know a great deal more. This exists in excessively minute particles, sometimes called electrons and sometimes called corpuscles; these are thrown off the negatively charged terminal in a vacuum tube, and they fly with tremendous speed till they 6trike something. When they strike they can propel as well as heat the target, and they can likewise make it emit a phosphores cent glow, especially if it be made of glass or precious stones. If the target is a very massive metal like platinum, the sudden stoppage of the flying electrons which encounter it causes the production of the ethe real pulses known as X rays. Elec trons aro not very easy to stop, however, and a fair proportion of them can penetrate not only wood and paper, but sheets of such metals as aluminium and %other moderately -thin obstacles. That is because they are extremely small, much smaller than the atoms of matter.-Sir Oli ver Lodge in Harper's Magazine. Perseverance Rewarded. "She has promised to marry you, has she? Did she accept you right off?" "Oh, no. I had to propose to her four times/' "Four times! Gracious, but you were persevering! What did she say the-first time?" "She 6aid if there wasn't another man in the world but me sho wouldn't marry me." "That was pretty strong. What did she say the second time?" "She said she liked me pretty well, but she couldn't think of mar rying me, for she. might see some one she liked better." "Humph 1 And the third time?" "The third time she asked me if I wanted to tease tho lifo out of her." "Ha! ha! ha! And the fourth time?" "Oh, the fourth time she said if I insisted upon it sho supposed she would have to say yes." A Reminder. ' New Father-in-law - Well, sir, the ceremony is over, and now that you aro the husband of my daugh ter I want to give you a little ad vice.

"How are you getting on?" asked Johnson of young Torakins, whom he met in the street the other day. "First rate," was the man's reply. "What are you doing?" further queried Johnson.

A HOUSE TRAGEDY. The Climax to the Remodeling of Mr. Mutt's Dwelling. "Yes,? said Mr. Mutt, "it was rather odd tho way I came to re build my house. You soe, Mrs. Mutt was in town ono day and happened to buy a very handsome hall lamp one of the kind that stands on the post of tho stair banisters," and then, says London Tit-Bits, he went on to dc?cribo tho development of tho house: "Well, as soon ns she got the lamp homo wo saw that it was too largo for tho stylo of the stairs, so I had to get tho carpenters to come in and widen them and put in new balustrades and posts, and set them over more toward tho center of thc hall. When that was done the hall didn't look Uko a hall at all, and I had to have tho carpenters tear out tho walls and make the old dining room into a new hall. "Then, of course, thc kitchen had to be torn away and rebuilt at tho back of the house, so that the old kitchen woiild do for a sitting room, and there had to bc a new dining room built to match tho finish of thc hull. And when things got so far we saw at once that wo had to have a library off the hall, and then the veranda had to go to make room for the library, and my pet rosebushes came np to give a chance to build the new veranda. "Well, to mako a long story short, I hnd to remodel the second story to match the first, and put a third story on in order to tako caro of tho rooms that wero crowded out by the changes in the second. And so I had a new house all round." "And was your wife pleased ?" "Only partly. You see, just on the last day, when the carpenters had completed the third story and were finishing work on the wholo job, one of them dropped his ham men through the skylight, and it fell to the hall and smashed tho lamp that had started the whole thing."

A RESOURCEFUL MAID. How She Brought Hor Father to HOP Way of Thinking. She was in love with a young doc tor. "Ho*?quite impossible!" cried her mother, when informed of it. "Out of the question," asserted her father. "He* has fine prospects," insisted the g^irl. ""iou can't livo on prospects," said the father. Tho next day she was ill. "I can see nothing wrong," said tho physician who was called to at tend her. Nevertheless he left a prescrip tion, but it seemed to do no good. The symptoms she described were conflicting and confusing. "It's very strange," said the phy sician. "If you do not understand the case we must get some one who does," said tho moth?V. So, after a week or more of ex perimenting, another physician was called in. "A trilliug indisposition," said thc second physician, "i'll have her all right in a day or so." But in a day or so she had him fmzzled. Her lover had told her low to do it. "Every time I see her," said the second physician, "there seems to be some new complication. I can't find anything radically wrong, but her statements certainly show that ehe is not all right." By this time tho father and moth er were worried, and they sent for a specialist. Tho latter looked wise, but he met with no greater success than the two who had preceded him, although his bill was considerably larger. The father had just seen the bill when the girl called to him. "I fear," she said wearily, "that this trouble is going to continue in definitely. Don't you think it would bo wise to have a physician in tho family?" The father looked at her suspi ciously. ? "Perhaps it would," he admitted. "And it's BO easy to have one," she persisted. "Arrange it to suit yourself," he said resignedly, for he was a man who knew when ho was beaten. The next day she was able to sit ?.:p, and the day after she had en tirely recovered. But the father continued to look at her reproach fully to the day of the wedding. Tho Sting of tho Nettle. Tho leaf and stem of a nettle are ? literally clothed with erect hollow hairs. If one of these hairs is view- j ed under a microscope, it will ho seen that its free end, after taper ing to a very fine degree of slimness, finishes as a little knob, while in tho other direction, after gradually becoming more robust, it suddenly expands into a large bulb, corre sponding with the poison gland of tue. adder. The point of the hair is very brit tle, and contact with our skin caus es the end to snap off, leaving a hollow needle point which readily pierces our cuticle, and pressing up on the bulb at the other end the poison is forced through the cen tral channel and inflames our blood, The tender handed who stroke the nettle aro stung for their pains, be causo their gentleness has only serv ed to break the brittle points and render them fit for piercing, but the rough handed break the hairs at their thickest parts, where they are too stout to prick.
