The two had been keeping bacn elor's quarters, ever since five years before, when, having been graduat ed from a western college, they had decided to make New York City the scene of their struggles f8r succeed. Very soon had their dreams of "easy" money and lucrative sala ries been dispelled, from aspiring to be captains of industry they conde scended to accept posi tions of less dignity. But even now th*?y met with disap p o i ntment. The p o s ' tions they dec ided o cake were tlways snao ped up' by the* fellow j u st ahead and right SWIMMING DIFFICULT. 9ANDPEW CARNEGIE TELLS ONE. Acquired by Man Only by Skill and Muscular Exertion. Man Is not amphibious by nature. Natation is acqul**ed only by skill and muscular exertion. The lower animals have much the advrn'prre over us in this respect. In t.iv first place, the brute creation have no fear ot water, and in the second, their heads are exceedingly light in com parison with the rest of their bodies. The mammalian caput contains little brains and abounds in sinuses, so that its relative weight is so incon siderable that an 'animal c?n easily keep its mouth and nose above the ?urface and respire freely. In man, on the contrary, the head which la full of brains and <*-ntains no cavi ties, is exceedingly heavy in propor tion to the rest of the body, and the great difficulty he experiences in swimming Is to counteract this spe cfic gravity and keep the organs of respiration above water. To attain this is the perfection of swimming: and when It has been attained man, though possessed of natural disad vantages, is superior to all animals except fish in the natant art.?New York Press. in "Well," said the presi dent "marry her." thankfully at that. At last, one evening, Dick return ed home with the cheering informa tion that he had succeeded in ob taining a minor clerkship in one of the largest banks in the city. Dick soon won promotion, and n the course of three years was made assistant to the cashier. Here he came into closer contact with the president of the bank and very short ly attracted the Attention and won tne goou will of that official with tne resuit that within another year ne was selected by him to become ni3 private secretary. It was while act ing in that capacity tha he became acquainted with Miss Ethel Harms worth, the young and beautiful daughter of, his employe*.. With him it was a cas3 of love at first sight but a hopeless love, he told himse'*. The love of Ethel Harmsworth was stronger than her ambition and, as it always does, love found the way. i Drawing a chair up close to h.s friend he said: "Dick, old man, is t the same thing that's bothering yoj to-night?" ! Jack had also been thinking of the affair, for he turned to his friend with, "Say, Dick(j I met Wai ter Gilfoy to-day. Says he's going to .re ball. And, by the way, he told me a great story. It was about how a man unknowingly aided ius clerk to elope with hii daughter.'" The next day at tLj office Dick I was preoccupied and melancholy as , usual. Mr. Harmsworth noticed it, at indeed he had, for the past few months. He had oftenod questioned him, but without result. Dick's pal lor worried his employer, for ae held the young man in high esteem. But to-day when questioned, he finally admitted that he was in love. "Well," said the president, "marry her. Surely your salsry Is large enotgh." "Ah," replied the young man sad ly, "you don't understand. She be longs to one of the first families and her father is a millionaire." "Well, maybe he wasn't when he married. You have a good position and a good name. You are a fair match for any girl,' rejoined the other, and, suddenly, as an after thought, "why not elope with her?" The ethics of the cast were lost sight of in the tumult of returning hope and despair that reigned in his breast. His decis.on was soon reach ed ijike the drowning man, ne would not suffer the proverbial straw to float by. Quickly turniug to his chief he exclaimed excitedly: "Do you advise tnat?" Certainly I do. Is she?do I know her?" "Yes. Yes. She will be at your daughter's nail to-morrow night.' "Well, see here. I'll have my auto in front of the -id: gate at 11 o'clock. Rush the ;irl off t> .ae Littit* Church Arot-iul ih?- ??r.ier, "By jove," said Die*. "I'll do it and marry her." And he did. That night he met Ethel ? their rendezvous, and when he told of his plan, jhe at first re fused. But when he argued for some time that this wa~ their only chance and a veritablt gift of Prov idence, she finally consented, and even coolly rema**...td: "It will be such a joke on papa." The next night at die ball, Ethel, as was to be expected was much in demand, and it was not till past 11 that Dick could take her aside as though to sit out the dance. One?, out of sight they quickly made their way to the auto waiting outside for them. aa one over heard Dick's .vhispered directions to the chauffeur they would have fail ed to distinguish the name of the Lfttle Church 'Round the Corner, but rather would have hvard that of a quiet chapel in Brooklyn, where Dick had arranged to have wltnosres and foi a quiet informal wedding supper. An hour or so later their absen *e was dircovered. and the father saw how he had unwittingly ruined his own -dans. But whatever his faults, he was a good lo*er. and soon tele grams were flying tn every direc tion telling the -*oung couple to come home and receive the paternal for giveness. Sight Sounding. An Ingenious device by which the depth of a swift river above a h'gh fall in Ontario was ascertained is de scribed by Mr. H. W. Hixon In the engineering and Mining Journal. It was too dangerous to make srnnd Ings from a boat, so. Mr. Hixon planted a transit on one bank, and from it carried a strong wire with a heavy lead weight at the end, to the opposiu shore.The wire was drawn taught and the weight was gradually pulled across on the bottom of the river. At intervals a sight along the wire from the transit M >no point wherj the wire dipped Into the water gave the inclination of the -straight. linc. The length of the submerged wire and Rs angle with the water being known, it was easy to calculate the depth at the various points. Wanted Man to Stop Smoking Non-Smoking Car. Andrew Carnegie, at a dinner that was recently given in his honor, told an amusing anecdote at his own expense. "1 was traveling on an Englisn railway Londonwards last year." he Baid, "and had chosen a seat in a non-smoking carriage. At a way side station a man board -d the train, sat down in my compartment anc lighted a vile clay pipe. " 'This is not a smoking car riage,' said I. "'All right, governor,' said the nan. 'I'll just finish this pipe nerts.' "He finished it, then refilled it again. '?' 'See here,' I said, 'I told you this wasn't a smoking carriage, if you persist with that pip I shall re port you at the next station to the guard. "I handed him roy card. He looked at it. pocketed it, but lighted his pipe nevertheless. ' At the next Btation, however, he cuanged to an other compartment. "Calling a guard I told him wha*. had occtirred and demanded that the smoker's name and address be taken. " 'Yes sir,' said the guard and hurried away. In a little while he returned. He seemed rather awed. He bent over me and said apologeti cally: " 'Do you know, sir, if I were you i would not prosecute that man. Hd just gave me his card. Here it is. He is Mr. Andrew Carnegie.' " French Chemical Scarcscrow. According to recent experiments by Stanilas Tetrad, a widely known French agriculturist, wheat and oth er cereals can be protected against the ravages of crows, which are par ticularly fond of the grain when its sprouts are just pushing above the ground, by treating the seeds before they are sown with a mixture of coal tar. petroleum and phepic acid. This treatment which delays the growth of the seeed for a day or two, but causes no damage, imparts an odor which is insufferable to the crows, but which disappears after the sprouts have obtained a larger growth, when trey are no longer sub ject to attack.?London Globe.

A singular revival is taking pla:e in Paris for wearing the tooth of a wolf or badger set in gold as a mas cot >An old superstition connected the wearing of such ornaments as provocative of good fortune. The custom of wearing a thumb ring Is aliO being resuscitated, and at this present time a charming young ac tresa on the English stage is demon strating the vogue, partly, no doubt, because it is in keeping with the period in which she is living in the play, and partly in recognition of the fa:-i:ion Paris is patronizfng.?Lon don Bystander.
