He rang the bell again, and a door
opened inside the house. Through
the curtain a figure could be seen ap
proaching.
("I'll do it to-night," thought he.)
The front door opened und a wom
an's face pe~p-d out.
"Who's there?" she asked. "It's

"Charley?" asked the voice doubt
fully, "Charley?"
("I'll wait till next time," thought
he.)
"Yes, Charley," he answered,
"how are you, Mrs. Wimple i Dou't

"Why, of course. I couldn't see
who it was in the dark, chough.

"But here she comes. Annie!
Here's Charl -y come to see you.'
Mrs. Wimple withdrew, and as
Charley shook hands with Annie he
faucied that he felt a tenner pressure
on his fingers. I
("I'll do it now," he thought.) |
"Where were you last uight?" ask

("I'll do it now," he thought.)
"Annie," ha began, '"I? I"
"You wnat?" she asked.

stammered, perspiring afresh; "I

"I wish you had, too," said she. "1

"Go to the next dance together,"
he said.
"All right I'll let you know. You

("I'll do it now," he thought.)
"I'd like to come home with you
every night," he said, "always"
"Shucks!' she said, "I can find my
way home from the office all right.
Don't b- silly!"
("I'll wait till next time," thought

"Good-night, Charley. Be sure

A Little Bear Story.
During a long journey of l&Uu
miles down the Yukon River, nia ie
with a single companion In a i..,ut
Peterborough canoe, Mr. Glim..re
exam.neu a great many gravel e\. s
ures; usually cut banks on the Yu
kon, or on the streams running Into
it. On the Noi River, a stream run
ning into the Yukon from the south,
a vertical bank was observed pierced
by a number of boles. For a little
distance above the shelf appeared
larger aoles. and an examination of
the locality showed that a little bear
?as Bhown by the footprint* and
olawmarks?bad walked along the
shelf and enlarged all the swallows'
nests that he could reach and drag
fed out from them young and eggs,
which he had of course devoured.
Tho little fellow's path was strewn
with feathers.

COLLECTING EYE STONES.
Most of the Genuine Specimens Found
in the Province ot Astrakhan.
The collection of eye stones is &
I dying industry. In New York the
principal sources of supply are sail
might be ltuagiueu, tu? supply is
precarious.
Eye stones are analogous in some
i respects to besoars, as tney are a
concentration found in the stomach
of the European crawfish. Most of
the genuine eye stones, crab's eyes,
crabstones or lapilli cancrorum, are
procured in the province of Astrak
han in European Russia.
There appears to De some confus-.
Ion regarding the nature of the eye
stone, for some authorities speak of
it as a concentration in the stomach
of a certain crab and others as of a
peculiar shell formation which is
separated from the crab at the time
it sheds its shell.
The so-called crab's eyes are found
fully developed at the end of the
summer, as the crabs begin to shed
their shells. It is noted that these
concentrations are absorbed into the
stomach of the crab during the shed
ding season and there pulverized and
absorbed, the dissolved calcareous
sub.stance being used, it is supposed,
for ? the formation of a new shell.
When these calcareous shells are not
normally developed and absorbed Ifr
is observed that the shedding process
is interrupted and the crab dies an
early death.
A Unique Historical Clialr.

Philadelphia and launched In the

Harrison Made Good His Promise.
Dr. J. N. McCormack of Bowling
Green, Ky., in conversation with Drs.
Brayton Potter and other physicians
told a little story of the late Gen
sral Benjamin Harrison "During
:he civil war." said the doctor, "Col
inel Harrison?for he was then Col
)nel?was for a time in command at
Cowling Green. Many soldiers were
-Ick, and he appropriated the hotel
>i the place, the Mitchell House, for
I i8e as a hospital. Mr. Mitchell
, murmured somewhat, but had to
Sive way to military necessity, Col
onel Harrison assuring him that he
should be paid for the use of the
house, even though Harrison should
have to pay out of his own pocket.
The war ended and the years went
on. Mr. Mitchell was well to do and
presented no claim. Finally, when
Harrison became President of the
United States, Mr. Mitchell conclud
ed to send his bill directly to the
President. He did so, and President
Harrison sent him his c^eck for the
money."

Cement Buildings.
The use of cement is now ftrml;.
established in the construction of
buildings for domestic and commer
cial purposes. The economies 0,
this material are more tbau manifest
and its solidity is hardjy to be i|ues
tioued, although it baa u-en In cou;
mon use but a comparatively fe>
years'. There are any number t.:
block-forming machines on the mat
ket and up to a short time tig !
these machines were limited to tht
formation of blocks 01' different
kinds. The variety of design ha:
been limited to the Imitation of t;
different kinds of stone common I;,
used in architecture. The different
cuts, shapes and finishes followed
but recently there has been a demand
tor something more than this, an :
one or two firms have undertaken
to produce moulds for the forma
tion of pillars, caps, Laiuster posts
and similar designs. These moid;
are now to be had by those engaging
in the business of making cement
blocks, and with their use, it is
possible to construct a building ol
ery pleasing lines. Heretofore this
has been rather difficult with the
limitations of the square block, al
though some architects have secured
some very Interesting effects by the
exerci.v of some ingenuity in tin
construction of such blocK shapes a*
