Ber chanting was thin and sweet, a Vflno thread of melody through the ramping, romping chorus, which the rhythmic footfalls, heavy or light, ac ?cented Into something Svelrd, almost ?barbaric. The motion, too, had o touch .of primitive savagery-lt was so free, BO unrestrained, so vividly vital. The row of player? rao. all tho big room's length, men one side, women the other, with the topmost couple ever ?changing as those who had stood head .awung down tho middle together, then separated, meeting and parting and ?winging as they met up tho sides ?again. The play waa no more than a -.reel, lacking only tho piping or the ..Addling. But good Mrs. Dowdell, who ?ueld dancing a deadly sin, stood hy looking on happily and laughing heart ily at the antics and shufflings of the in o re vigorous players. Mary-Cindy'a foot was as light as -.thistledo wu. Her mother thought proud ly how clumsy she made the other girls ? .took, unintentionally, of course. Mary Oindy would not think of willfully out shining them thus in ber own house at ?her very first party. Mrs. Dowdell had been doubtful over tbe'p?rty. Now she was very glad she .tad let Mary-Cindy havo her way. The -trouble- had been nothing to apeak of, ..and a3 for tho expense-well, she reck oned she could call in tho neighborhood 3'oung folk to feast and frolic this one night without asking anybody's leave. .What if she bad not quite paid back all -tiie money-she bad to borrow when her husband died? She owed lt to her brother, a bachelor, and as fond ns he ?could be ot Mnry-Cindy. Certainly he -wouldn't make her trouble. As for .other folks, let them say what they -.pleased. - Thus the good dame said to herself .openly in her upper mind. Down be Meath she felt that the party was worth -while because lt had brought young El berton again within range of Mary-Cin .dy'o eyes. He had seemed struck with her at the big meeting, now sis weeks back, but had somehow not come to 'Call, as she had confidently expected he -would. But nobody could say she? had jun nf ter him. His coming was, after -a sort,- accidental. She had but said to ,ouck Ed muda that he might fetch .whatever young men he chose,, and .Jack had chosen to bring Ellerton. : BUerton bad insisted upon being Ma try-Cindy's partner In all the plays.

But abe said noth ing until Billy came back with young Ellerton, who started at sight of her, yet evidently not hi dismay.

It's all right we're friends again-and free!" the stranger cried joyously, Staging her arms about his neck and hugging him tight "And ?'in so glad I almost love you," she went on. "They wanted to send for you-said I ought to walt until you came, but you know I bato wait ing. I simply had to come and tell you the good nows." "You darling Edith," Frank said af fectionately, patting her cheek Then he tu "Tied to the wondering pair beside him and explained, still keeping hold of Edith's hand. "We've had fearful trou: ble, all for nothing. You see, wo got married in a joke-not In the least meaning to do lt-two years back. When wo found out we were tied hard p.n? fast our people, wno -*v?r? delight ed to have us tied, tried hard to per suado us into accepting the situation. All we would agree to waa to walt awhile, a year pr such matter, before undertaking to set ourselves free. But tho longer we thought of tho tie the less we liked being bound, although we kept on being the best posslblo friends. And then there came a tune when we both found out things-things about ourselves and other people. We didn't. want a divorce. Indeed, we couldn't .well get it. Annulment was hardly practicable, BO WO wero at our wits' end. And tBen a blessed lawyer dug out tho chance of jactitation of mar riage, and somehow he has carried lt through,, and we're consequently ready to dance at each other's wedding." . "Yes," Edith said, nodding and blush ing, then holding out her hand to Mary Cindy. "Mine is next week. You must be sure to come. WU1 you do it?" "Certainly she will," Ellerton an swered before Mary-Cindy could apeak. "She'll come and be your matron of honor. You know I'm going to be Joe Bent's best man." "I'm glad you have It all settled," Mary-Cindy said, running away, but with a blush that promised all the most eager lover could ask.

Of such was On old citizen of Hopklnton, N. H., a good many years, ago, and his juggling with ' his conscience ls recorded by Mr. Lord in the records of the town. The old man used to boast that he never went back on bis exact word, but bad no compunctions ta going round lt Once he wished to buy a cer tain tract of land, aad when tile owner named the price he exclaimed: VI won't give lt! I teU you I will never give iii** The owner did not yield nevertheless. A few days afterward the old man called again. He aald nothing about the land, but stepped tate the owner's barn and picked np a flail. "Whaite that?' he naked. .That? Oh, that's a flail." "So yon call that a flail, do yon? Well, what "would yon take for it?"

Tho First Ones Blade Were Worn Outside th? Socket. As early as 500 B. C. artificial eyes were runde by the priests of Rome and Etrypr, who practiced ns physicians and surgeons. Their methods of oyo mak ing are thus described: On a strip, of flesh tinted linen, two and a qunrter by ono and a quarter inches, the Hat aide of a piece of earthenware, model ed life S!KO and painted to represcut the human eye and eyelids, was ce mented. This linen, coated on the oth er side with some .adhesivo substance, waa placed over tho eyehole and pres?- j ed down. In brief, the artificial eyo was worn outside the socket and, though a clumsy substitute, was prob ably appreciated by the Romans uud Egyptians. In the ruins of Pompeii, destroyed lu TO A. D., au eye of this description was discovered. Not until the sixteenth century do wo hear of eyes at ali like those of today-that is, worn inside tho socket. A French surgeon, one Ambrolse Pare, invented three artificial eyes. One cou sisted of au oval plate covered with soft leather, on widch au eye waa painted. It was attached to the head by a strong steel band. It could have been neither sightly nor comfortable. The second device and the first known in history to be worn inside tho socket consisted of a hollow globe of gold deftly enameled. The third eye devised by this ingenious gentleman was a shell pattern eye, much like that in use today, except that it was of gold and enamel. Parc's inventions were followed by eyes of painted porcelains and colored pearl white, which became very pop ular. They were succeeded by eyes of glass, which soon took the place of all others and command popular favor to this day. Glass eyes were Invented about the year 1570 and were crudo productions of inferior workmanship, the iris and pupil being hand painted in a far from lifelike manner. Shakespeare mentions glass eyes In "King Lear," where the king advises tho blinded traitor Gloucester to "get thee glass eyes and seem to see." QUEER OLD RUSSIA. Tlie Firing of Stoacoir In tho Time of Ivan the Terrible. . One who traveled through Russia In 1G98 wrote in Latin an interesting ac count of what he saw. This was aft erward translated Into English in part as follows: "The Muscovites are gener ally of a very strong constitution, both very tall and bulky. Above one-half of the year is taken up with their fasts, when the-common people feed upon nothing else but cabbage and cucum bers, and these raw, only pickled." The writer, Henry William Ludolf, has leanings trrrnrd vegetarianism, for he added, 'This is an evident sign of their natural vigor, though it' must also be allowed that they promote the di; ?stlon by the brandy and leeks which they uso in large quantities, and questionless correct the viscous humors arising in the stomach by such indigestible nour ishments." a Giles Fletcher, an English traveler, saw Moscow fired by an army of Tar tars hi 1571 in the absence of Czar Ivan the Terrible. Ho writes, "There was nothing but whirlwinds and such a noise as though the heavens would have fallen." According to Fletcher, numerous persons were burned to death, while crowds struggling to es cape from the flames met, and the ensu ing crush resulted iii thousands of fa talities. He asserts that "there perished at that time by the fire and the press the humber, of 800,000 people or more." This estimate, of course, was excessive, ? As a means of getting rid of the dead bodies, says Fletcher, the Czar Ivan ordered them eh his return j "to be ?xvoyr?. mto^.the Moskva,1 and the corpses dammed the deep and rapid river and .caused lt. to, overflow ita hanks. .

Fearlessness ls ouo of tho most strik ing characteristics of Rea Quakes, and lt adds greatly to tho dauger that ls to be apprehended fro?? them, for it often leads thein to attack fishermen and swimmers, and even to climb up the anchor chains and through tho hawse holes and attack the crow, aud as the bite of every ono of the fifty known varieties ia fatal there is groat fear felt of them In the'ocean spaces which they Inhabit. These fifty varieties are nil classified, under tho general title of thanato ' phidia. Nono of them ls able to live anywhere except in ocean water. Every I variety and subvariety ls as poisonous ? ns the cobra or tho bushmaster of Af? . rica. Indeed, with the exception of . theso two land varieties, lhere ls no ! snake on land that kills so swiftly and so terribly as do the sea snakes. Ow ! lng to their fatal weapons and their j ease and celerity in swimming there are practically no enemies which de stroy enough of them to diminish their numbers. Almost all the thunutophldln arc beautifully colored, even more gorgeous than any of the land snakes, with the possible exception of the coral, /irass and carpet enakes. They are banded, striped, speckled and blotched with green, olive, yellow, blue and black and 1 present a most brilliant spectacle as I tliey aro seen swimming below the sur i face of the transparent blue of the Indi j an ocean. When they are swimming at ? tho ordinary rate of speed they seem j to undulate all over. They do not wind through tho water as the eel does, but ; their locomotion resembles that of the caterpillar except that It ls far more graceful, aud ns they move and twist tho colors play along their sides and backs as they do on the dolphin. When they dash nt their prey at full speed they move like an arraw, with their heads and necks thrust straight before them If they are swimming under the surface, or, if they are dnrtlng nlong I tho top of the water, with their heads elevated Just enough to clear the j waves. When they are racing along t thus their sole menus of locomotion is ; their broad, paddle shaped tall, which i is peculiar io all the sea snakes und forms the only striking difference be , tweeu theui nnd thp ordlnnry innd ser pent j ? This puddle is used liko a steamer's ! screw and has immense power. Bent sideways lt will stop the snake Imme diately as if the crenture had anchored suddenly. When dozlug or resting over reefs, which are common in the coral . banks, snakes bold fast to the rocks or : bottom with their broad tails and will often sway in this way for hours in calm weather, j Men may have recovered from the i bites of these serpents, but there are j certainly nono on record. Most of , their victims arc Maiay and other na , tlvo fishermen, and ?hore dwellers and j physicians rarely get to see them. Statistics aro not kept hi that part of the world, so it is Impossible to ascertain bow many are kill 3d In this ; way each year. Travelers say that . there ls hardly n fishing village which ! bas net its tale of Har.ti 1 tn tgii^ j Scientists once held to tho opinion i that the deadliness of the bite was due I not to the venom, like that of the land . enakes, but to some property that . caused blood poison, as does the blto ; of many fishes which are not poisonous in themselves. But this opinlou was changed after the medical men on board the British warship Algerina had . made careful observations of a sailor who bad been bitten. They proved that tho snakes were directly poison ous and that they carry fangs charged with venom exactly like the cobra.. The open ocean ls the home of the Bea snakes. They do not even ascend the rivers. Their favorite haunts are I the arma of the sea, which separate the Islands Of China, India abd the i south Pacific seas. They don't stay . near the shores, but remain at some distance, from the land. They are Inca pable of much movement on land, and ofter wriggling about and biting sav agely they will stay still tm they die. They are. found in many parts of tho world - lu the Indian and Pacific oceans, from Capo of Good Hope and Madagascar io the western shores of Panama and from New Zealand to Japan? in the bay of Bougal and the sea around Nleobars, Molucca, Timor and New Guinea.-New York Herold. Doable Flowers; j N?ariy all the doublo flowers of gar dens were first.found wild. Doublo buttercups, double primroses, double daisies, doublo roses and many other things were first discovered among their wild fellows and introduced into tho gardens. Tho florist, however, can j produce double flowers. He watches , this tendency in nature. If a flower usually has five petals, and he dis covers that some of the stamens have somewhat of n pet a l-l ike character, the 1 pollen te taken from these flowers and others in a normal condition fertilized With this pollen. The tendency, once started, is then given to the progeny. Almost any species of plant will in thia way be capable of producing double flowers. It Is surprising that, with this knowledge, more attempts nt this line ot } Improvement in ordinary garden flowers aro not'made.

One of the Institutions established by Americans that have earned popu larity ls the Aro department. Much of tho efficiency which tho Manila Are fighters have attained is duo to tho work of that veteran fireman, Hugh Bonner, who waa recently appointed deputy fire coin missioner of New York city for the borough of Manhattan. It bas bern p.i\{A that Bonner comes near er to being the embodiment of the story book fire lighter than any other living man. Ile ls sixty-six years of age, and when ho was a youth fire fighting was not an occupation of itself. Even the city of New York, his birthplace, bad no paid fire department. Bonner learned thc tinsmith's trade ns a young man, but ns a boy be always ran with tho engines when a fire was to be put out, and ns soon as bo was old enough he Joined a volunteer company nnd roso to be a captain In the volunteer department While ho was fighting a fire with his company one day he and bis men wero notified that Uicy had boon made mombers of the newly or ganized paid department. He continu ed in tho service about thirty-five years and for over ten years was chief of the department, raising lt to a state of efficiency that made lt famous tho world over. About a half dozen years ago be resigned nnd was commissioned shortly afterward to go to Manila and undertake the establishment of Ameri can methods of fire fighting In the cap ital of tile Philippines. During the 301) years or so that the dons ruled lu Manila they had not dono much toward establishing n Aro department. In a city of nearly 300, OOO peoplo there were only a few an tlQuated hand engines manned by vol unteers. All this bas beeu chauged HU OH BONNER AND MANIDA METHODS BEr ? FOIlE ITU IUFHOVED THEM. by tho work Bonner did in his stay Of from two to three years lu tho city. Today the Are department ls the pet SI of property owners, who no longer watch In blank despair the burning of their bul laings when a fire breaks out. There are over 150 paid men In the de partment About 85 per. cent of tho force are natives, but tho officers are Americans, and many of the officers and men are former United States sol diers, a fact which maltes for good dis cipline. There are fire houses, steam and chemical engines and all other ap purtenances of an np to date depart ment Thu first uin6 that Bonner ?Hu lils new service were called on to at tend a fire In Manila there was great excitement in the Philippine city. A blaze nad started in the store of a mer chant on the Escolta, the leading street Shopkeepers by the hundred ran out into tho street fearing that their stocks of goods would be consum ed. Amid a clanging of strange bells and a clatter of hoofs the new firemen made a record In reaching tho scene. They obeyed their orders like soldiers, tho fire was put out In less than half an hour, and Manila did not get over the sensation In a week. One time when Bonner was chief of the Now York fire department a fire broke out on election night on Broad way. A force of thirty men were on the fourth and fifth Aoors of the burn ing building pouring water on the fi?mes when tbe wall on one side of the structure from the roof to the pave ment fell outward. There was a whirl wind of flame and smoke, and the men at work in the building fighting the Are prepared to jump to the ground, think ing that otherwise .they would be bur led In the ruins. The windows were liped with men ready to leap to a fate that might be death. Bonner ls noted for bis knowledge of the construction of blindings. He knew that though one wall had fallen out the others would probably stand. So ho shouted to the panic stricken men: "Stay where you ore. You're all tight** The men had so much con fl- [ dence in his judgment and were nude? each good discipline that they obeyed, end thus their lives were saved. - Don't get discouraged.
