What has she done that, far and wide.
Has flashed the word that she has died? r

"I used to make believe I was a locomotive

"Oh!" ;.~
She seemed disappointed. I put my
pipe badfc between my teeth and pulled
my cap farther over my eyes, yet not
so far isAo shut her out of vision.
She was very lovely. She wore white
things. Her sleeves were rolled up to
her elbows?I could see the dimples occasionally?and
her hat, a broad, flapping
thing of white cloth with a scarf
floating ttway from it, wag getting
very, very wet from the water that
had splashed in the bottom of the boat.

sun wasjolly, the air so balmy, and
T was sb altogether comfortable that

Helen drew in ber line dreamily,
scowled ferociously at finding the bait

the smooth green water. Then she
folded heir wet, brown hands on the
gunwale^ and stared thoughtfully
across t% harbor. She was very lovely.

chimes floated across tram the gleaming
white jfcht 3n front of the clubhouse,
and were echoed over and over
by smaller craft. Under my head the
lazy swell lapped sleepily at the bow.
"I?I think you have a bite," said
Helen, doubtfujty. :: * I

"Aren't you going to see?" asked
L- Helen.
I closed my eyes negatively.
"You're the laziest man I ever saw,"
she said.
"Not lazy; philanthropic. I am giving
a littie'hsHe a nice breakfast." . i
Helen watched my line. Presently
she sighed, "It's all over."
I shuddered and closed my eyes
again. Jftter a minute or two the end
of the paintet began to dig into my
back, and I stirred uncom/ortably and
looked at Helen. She was observing ;
me Intently from two very wide open
* blue eyes. She laughed softly.
"I thought I could do It, she
triumphed.
"It was the painter," I denied, indignantly.
"Very well," she replied, soothingly.
"Let's make believe."
"All right; go ahead."
She scowled until she bad two ;
creases over her nose and looked at
me as though 1 wasn't there; then she j
said, "We're shipwrecked."
"The deuce!" said I.

severely,

"He was a godless man. He was?
ah?Intoxicated at the time of the dls/

"It was." I affirmed. I shook my
head sadly. Then I asked. "Where
were we^at that time?"
"In latitude thirty-seven and a half

"Mustdiave been a bargain," I murS
mured.
IjL "Shortly after," she continued, "the

praying for morning, expecting

She paid no heed. With eyes fixed
upon the distant horizon she spoke on

"Hourly we scanned the ocean for

her voice broke with emotion. "Once,
far in the distance, low down on the

"I thought it was horizon?"
"We sighted a speck, a faint blur
against the immensity of the empty

"When morning dawned again the
faint speck was longer there. A frightful
loneliness, an awful hopelessness,
came over us."
"It?they did."
"Yet you were brave, so brave!" She
looked at me admiringly. What could
I say? I waved a hand carelessly, and
smoothed my" tie.
"While there's life there's hope," I
murmured.
"You bade me keep up my courage
Ah, I needed your comfort then! Life
was very empty for a while. You "
"Well, you had me," I reminded.
"Then?then the food gave out."
" What?"
"Starvation stared us in the face."
"No, nor I cried. "Not that! Anything
but that!"
"The barrel which we had believed
held?held pluinduff and?aud? "
"Deviled kidneys!"
"Hard tack "
"Oh!" " ""
"We discovered to be filled only
with "
"Crullers," I said, imploringly.
"With?with dumb-bells!"
"Dumb-bells? Why dumb-bells?" I
asked, coldly.
For an instant she looked nonplussed.
Then she said, falteringly,
"I don't know. They?they were part
of the cargo, I think."
"Maybe she's a training-ship," I suggested.
Helen blinked.
"Starvation stared us "
"You said that once."
"With a groan you covered your
face with your hands "
"Yes, yes," I cried. "Then, like a
flash, I remembered that in the captain's
cabin I had seen a box of beefsteak
and onions. With an exclamation
of joy I dashed headlong down
the companionwny. The box was still
there. Seizing a large, thick steak,
I hurried to the galley "
"You're quite wrong," interrupted
Helen, inexorably. "Hunger has gone
to your brain. You've had nothing to
eat for three days, and "
"No, no, please! Not three days!
One, if you must, but not "
"For thrco weary days," she insisted.
I groaned aloud and passed a trembling
hand across the front of my
shirt. It was true! The pangs of hunger
were already biting. I looked longingly
toward the shore.
"But that was not the worst!"
"Stop, stop!" I beseeched.
"The next day we drank the last
of our meagre store of water. Then :
indeed Death hovered nigh."
"Tell me one thing," I begged, in
broken whispers. "The?the cask of '
Burgundy, vintage of '78, and the two

dozen Doities or sscoicu wun?vv u*
captain's "cupboard, they?they were
still there?"
Helen looked across at me pityingly, ;
and shook her head. With an anguished
cry I hid my face in my hands. 1
"We found the cask stove in and
the bottles broken to atoms."
"Did we?" I muttered, vacantly. "I
had forgotten."
"Without food and water "
"Water, water everywhere, and not
a drop to drink!" I gibbered.
"For three days we have drifted over 1
a cruel, glassy sea, under a burning,
pitiless sky."
"Pitiless sky," I echoed, with parched 1
lips.
"And yet?and yet through it all ;
there lias been one thing to comfort
us, one bright spot in the darkness
of despair."
I looked toward her eagerly. "I 1
knew it! I knew it! There was one
bottle saved! He had hidden it in his
bunk!" ,
"Hush!" she said.
I sank back again, weak and dispirited.
"And that," she continued, with a
wrapt, dreamy expression in her eyes,
"and that was our love for each
other."
"Eh?"
"And that was our love for each
other," repeated Helen, softly.
"Oh?er?yes; that, of courser* I
said, hurriedly.
"What though we had known each
other less than a fortnight? Love "
"What though?" I murmured.
"Love is not horn of time.-" It may
blossom in a day, an hour, a minute."
"A second!"
"So with our love." She paused, and
looked dreamily over the sea. Was
she, too, thinking of luncheon? But
no. "We loved each other at first
sight."
"We did," I affirmed, heartily.
Helen faltered; her eyelids fluttered;
a tinge of pink crept over her hungerpallid
cheeks.
"Yet you would never have spoken
had not Fate thrown us alone together
here thousands of miles from shore."
I glanced startledly towards the
beach. It was not there! .In a panic
my eyes swept the horizon. Thank
heaven! It was over my left shoulder!
The tide had swung the dory around.
"For there was a gulf between us,"
Helen continued. "I was an heiress,
and you were merely a second officer."
"Oh, I say!" I demurred.
"But danger brought us together.
Position, wealth, all else was forgotten.
We loved each other; that was
enough."
"Quite," I said, with satisfaction.
"There, with the tempest howling In
our ears, tossed about by the angry
waves, alone on the ocean, the-seal of
silence was broken. Danger drew us
together. You spoke. Wrapped in
each others' arms, for a time all was
forgotten. Love held our souls."
"Eh?did I?that is, web, did I kiss
you?"
"No," said Helen sharply.
"Oh." I considered. "Not even one
tiny, little kiss?"
"No." Helen considered. "Well,
I perhaps one very, very small one," she
allowed.
| "I thought I remembered it," I an
swered, brightly. "And did you? J
er " !
"But then came the awakening," she
hurried on.
"Oh, we woke up?" I asked.
"Suddenly a gust of wind forced us
apart "
"Cruel wind!" I sighed, dolorously.
"And with a loud report the sail
was torn into ribbons.'
"A ribbon sale^'" I inquired.
"The rain fell in torrents, the lightning
flashed across the sky. .At the
mercy of the elements, our frail bark
was borne onward at awful speed.
Suddenly above the sound of wind and i
wave the roaring of the surf upon the i
shore reached our ears. The moment
of supreme peril was at hand! A
flash of lightning, more intense than
any heretofore, lighted up the scene.
Before us, scarce a cable's length
away, rose a towering cliff of jagged
rock. Below it the surf dashed high,
as though hungry "
"Eh?"
"As though hungry for its prey. And

passed from my heart. I was content
to have it so. Silently we waited.

struggled to my knees. Watson's

at us.

SCIENCE OF BUILDINC.
Houses Are Matle Far From Where They
Will Stand.
Many of the great steel structures
that are being built in every city are
planned and modelled iu some distant
city?like the material for Solomon's
temple of old?hundreds of miles away. '
It Is in some rolling mill town of Pennsylvania
that most of the gigantic
frameworks for the modern skyscrapers
are built. All that remains is to
put them together and the building
rises up like a house of blocks.
Every piece is fitted together and ,
numbered before it Is taken away from
the steel mill. So exact are the measurements
that not even the drilling of 1
a'hole is ncessary for fitting the rivets
which fasten the plates nud girders I'
together. The watchlike precision with I'
which these parts are made was shown
in the construction of one of these
buildings which is*noj.v being erected
in Chicago. . t I
One of the large cross girders was
missing in the framework of the second (
floor, and though it did not interfere
with the placing of the framework on
all sides and above it,.the contractor
was worried to know- what had become
of it. When the framework had grown '
as high as the sixth or seventh story
and the missing piece had not been
found around the railroad yards or
heard of from any other source, he
wrote to the steel mill, describing it '
as closely as possible, ordering that it 1
be duplicated. " J
By the return mail he received tho
following reply:
"As ground space is more valuable in 1
Chicago than here in the country we <
are storing missing girder for you. We <
know that you would need a steel der- ]
rick on that floor, and kept the girder
out so you would have room. Will ship i
it after the remaining stories have been S
completed." i
The mill men had figured correctly oli '1
the building hundreds of miles away, i
and the girder could not have been
placed in positron, even if It had been
on the grounds, on account of the der? J
rick.?Chicago Tribune.
An Ingenious Scheme. To
any one who doesn't possess the
modest luxury of a private car, traveling
is always a thing fraught with discomfort.
Columns could be written
on the pathetic struggles of the woman
who travels to stow her wearing apparel
away in the coffin-like confines
of a lower berth. Any right-minded
woman prepares to shed tears when
she thinks of the next morning state of
her traveling skirt. Time was when
porters looked after such things, and
could be induced to preserve garments
over-night in mysterious places, but
these days, on nine sleeping cars out
of ten, the porter is instructed to inform
you that ho can't be responsible
for anything Intrusted to liim. These
things being as they are, I feel that I
owe a debt of gratitude to a lady? ,
name to me unknown?who showed
me how to dispose of a whole wardrobe
in a sleeping car.
She travels a great deal, she In- ;
formed me, and she never leaves home !
without at least a dozen of the big
safety pins and hook combinations ,
that people use to attach curtain rings ?I
forget the technical term for them,
if I ever knew it. I was allowed to .
peep into her berth after she had arranged
herself for the night, and I
found she had fastened one of these
pins into each of her more bulky garments
and had hooked them all in

tain. Slie said the idea was all her
own and that It was the greatest comfort
in the world to know that every-. ,
thing was hanging up neatly, just as
It would be at home. For giving a
really homelike atmosphere to a sleeping
car I can think of no other scheme
more highly to be recommended.?

' *&**? - How
the Sparrows
The sparrows in the squares have
two ways of taking a bath, that is,
two Ways one can discover in a tenminute's
loaf around the fountain?,
says a writer in the New York Evening
Post. The first is to fly through
the spray as it falls from the fountain.
The second is slower and much prettier.
A little chap flies to a lily leaf
on the top of the water, and his tiny
weight makes the leaf sink, just a
little, so that it becomes- a miniature
bath-tub with enough water in it to
reach the bird's feathers. The longer
the sparrow stays in his bath-tub the
deeper his bath gets, for the leaf keeps
on sinking with his weight. After
some fussing of beak and flapping of
wings, and much tossing about of
water, away he flies and his bath-tub
comes back to the surface again.
To Achieve Success.
"To let the world know through type .
who and what you are and what you
have that this great world wants is
the secret of success, and the printing
press is the mightiest machine to that
end," is the deliberate conclusion of
Thomas A. Edison, who know? of

MANUAL TRAINING.'
Important Advance in the Objective
Methods ft Teaching.!
Fortunately for the public life of the !
United States, the great convention of 1
American teachers In Boston paid espe- (
cial attention to manual training. The j j
distinguished experts who discussed j
this subject before the convention did
not allow manual training to run away |
with all training, but they conceded L
that in an industrial society and in a j J
powerful commercial age like the pres.
ent the education of the senses is of j
pre-eminent importance. Hence the ,
value of drawing to discipline the eye,
and of manual training to discipline the j
sense of touch, and the nervous and
muscular systems were favorably rec- j
ognized.
The commercial course, the manual 1
training course and the art course do j i
not necessarily draw essential attention j 1
from other branches if the time be j *
properly utilized, because these new i 1
~,-rtof tlm miml nnd thus '
I'UUiarj ivoi kuv uouvi -
economize time. But these new courses 1
also develop aptitudes which under the (
old system would have been quite dor-! i
mant but for the opportunities fur- j <
nished in rural communities in ihe ! i
form of manual training under parental ; 1
control. 1
As this is an age of tools, it is essen- \
tial that manual training be developed ^
in the use of power tools. In all proba- 1
bility the electric motor, moving power
tools, will be more generally introduced ]
in the next decade in the public schools | i
than is now in evidence. The rocogui- j (
tion by our teachers of the importance j i
of manual training is cue of the hap- j
piest signs of the times. ;
The variety of things to bo done and
the relative oversupply of people in
the learned professions, and tb > undersupply
of men and women in the scientific
professions, show that our 1
schools need to be adjusted to the
present conditions of the industry of j
the age.
That the teachers of the United '
States are keenly alive to this demand
is a happy omen for the generation
that is now passing through the public
schools.

Spools .From Pnlp
The process of making spools from
pulp has been iu course of development
for the past two years, and many
obstacles have had to be overcome, before
the spool was perfected. It was
comparatively, easy, says the Hartford '
Courant, to mould the spool into the
proper form, but. after It had become
dry -and hard the difficulty . was to
grind or turn it into the proper size
to hold the required amount of thread.
This trouble has now been overcome.
Pulp will be used only for the large
size of spools, as it is not practical to
make the smaller sizes of that material
Many of the large spools are nearly
four inches in diameter, and up to the
present time they have been made of
Wood. When they were first made
they were turned from a single piece
of wood, but it was discovered that
in many cases the pressure of the
thread as it was wound on the spool
would push the head off the barrel,
although it was the same piece of
Wood. In order to remedy this diffinnltr.
it became necessary to make
the large spools from three pieces, the
barrel and two heads, and when the
heads were closely fitted to the barrel
and glued, they were found to remain
better than when they were one piece
of wood.
What He Might Save.
Members of the budget committee,
says the London Chronicle, have been
relating some, amusing anecdotes at a
recent; meeting, with a view of illustrating
that economy is not always
practised with as much care as could !
be wished. A former minister of war j
was the hero of one. This officer liav- :
ing been asked whether he could not
contrive to cut his estimates down a i
little, promptly replied that the thing I ,
was impossible. "Now, tell us i
frankly," continued the politician who j
Was interrogating him on the subject,
"if you were to be condemned to be j
shot, if you could not immediately !
realize some savings without disor- j
ganizing any of your services, what
would you do?" "Well, in &ueh a case ;
I think that I could dispense with j

answer.

rhls Foolish Order Was the Death*
blow of the Chinese Navy.
Of the navy of one of the oldest of
old countries, China, very little Is
mown. That China was once much
nterested in sea affaire is, however,
jertain. It is said, that long before
my other people, the Chinese knew
something of the wonders of the lodestone,
and even if the mariner's compass
was not invented by them, their
cnowledge of the magnet was certainly
sufficient to aid them in navigating
:heir ships, and helped to extend their
:rading, and probably their battles,
nto strange waters. So the Chinese
were bold voyagers ages ago. un
:heir cruisers' bows was painted an
iye to denote watchfulness; and red,
i sacred color to them, was displayed
n strips of cloth which decorated the
various parts of their ship.
Chinese enterprise on the sea unfortunately
received a death blow from
>ne of their own weak and self-loving
monarchs, who forbade his subjects to
:ruise in waters outside of the China
Sea, for fear they should learn in
their travels any ideas which might
lead them to rebel against his tyrannical
government. He also ordered,
rain" and unwise man that he was,
that all vessels should be made in
the shape of his imperial foot! Alas,
poor ships! this strange shape destroyed
all seaworthy qualities, and
any ambition in the direction of a
Chinese navy was for the time extinguished.?From

There is this peculiar
thing about Ayer's Hair
k Vigor?it is a hair food,
not a dye. Your hair does
not suddenly turn black,
look dead and lifeless.
Butgraduallythe old color
comes back,?all the rich,
dark color it used to have.
The hair stops falling, too.

OUR TOTAL POPULATION.
With Philippines, Porto Rico, Guam
and Samoa; We Number 84,233,069.
The total population enumerated by
the twelfth census was 76,303,387, but
while the area of enumeration covered
Alaska and Hawaii, it did not include
Porta Rica* the Philippines, Guam or
Samoa. The population of these new
ly acquired islands has, however, been
ascertained partly by estimates and
partly by special censuses. Including
these estimates, the total population oi
the United States and its outlying pos
sessions in 1900 was as follows:
Area of enumeration 76,303.387
Philippine Islands 6,961,339
Porto Rico. 953,243
Guam 9,000
Samoa ....... 6,100
Total 84,233,069 ;
The only countries surpassing the j
United states m numoer 01 mnaoi- \
tants are the Chinese Empire, the British
Empire, the Russian Empire, and
probably France, with the inclusion of
its African possessions.?From the
Hon. W. R. Merriam's "Noteworthy j
Results of the Twelfth Census" in the ;

A Winged Highwayman.
We naturally wonder why a wasp
cannot successfully defend itself
against a fly. But, in addition to its
sword-like proboscis, the robber-fly is
also endowed with legs of unusual
length and power. It is thus enabled
to hold its victim at such a distance
that the envenomed sting cannot be
used. Powerful and swift as its wings
are, it seldom seizes its stinging victims
in mid-air, but usually hurls it
self on the back of the unsuspecting
wasp. Caterpillars, spiders, moths,
beetles, dragon flies, and even plant
bugs are all seized and despatched by
this swift assassin.?From Nature and
Science in the September St. Nic'n
