It is a symposium of prosper ity and a return of business confi dence. In an interesting summary, the editor says that American people as ? whole uro the richest on earth. Their visible assets exceed $1,600,000 ?00,000. This valuation does not in clude our lands nor the estimated val uations of our mines and standing timber. As a comparison it may be pointed out that Great Britain's visi ble assets arc $500,000,000,000. Each ?evolution of the globe sees us richer by the sum of $10,600,000. Gur in crease in riches in each two months is somthing in excess of the aggregate banking ? capital of all the banks in Great Britain and Ireland. In each ten days ve roll up a national gain in riches that is the equivalent of the capital and the reserve of the Bank ( ' of Kngland. Wo have 22,000,000 workers who earn $14,000,000,000 during a year, which does not include j dividends on any form of stock or | * incomes from bank deposits. If the I wealth of tho United States were divided into per capita allot- 1 menta it would figure at $1,768. All i the riches of our millionaires in the j aggregate pale into insignificance when contrasted with the people 's j money in our saving's banks, which ?contain seven times ns much money I as is held on account of all the crown- , ed heads and nobility of Europe and j We possess one-fifth of the world's money though our country baa but one-sixth of tiie world's popu lation and only one-seventh per cent ' of its aroa. The industries of this country which | consume agricultural .products as the j principal materials employ 37 per , cent of all persons' engaged in manu facturing and the capital of those in dustries is 42.5 per cent of the capital of nil manufacturing plants. The val ?e of the capital invested in our rail .nionds is almost $14,000,000,000. The rtotsi length -of the roads is 226,000 'miles of double and single track lines. Adding siJiugs and trackage in rail road yards, the total line of tracks * measures 314,000 miles. The annual pnnnr iijti" traffic is 700,000,000, the -yearly Tmtflage of freight is 1,650,000 tons. To operate this service 1,657,600 j freight, 35,000 passenger cars and | <MX> lowraotives are required. The an- 1 Tinal upkeep of those roads costs ! ,^300.000,000. and they consume the I ta&?r \|>art of the output of onr steel mills. In freight cavriasre there has ? been a gain erf 48,000,000 tons be tween 1902 and 1907. This pain w ? fjfQAnnft mere than the total tonnage of freight carried by all our railroads .in 1880. *Tbe eom4nsion arrived at from a; review of these simple statistics is i ? ghat beyond doubt this country is not - -only increasingly prosperous as th?e .yean pass, but prosperous to a mar "odious degree at the present hour.?

' They were all working In different parts of the old banqueting hall, Which had for the time been con verted Into a tiny theatre; working, sactf In his chsracterlstlc way; Wln Sard with a dashing rapidity; Char ie with easygoing Indifference, ac complishing much without appearing to exert himself, directing everything without appearing to have a will of his own upon any one question. There -was no fuss, no undue haste about his movements. As usual, he was ahead of his time, and could af fbnl to waste a few minutes here and there with seme grave pleasantry. Culonel Wright was quite content to occupy a subordinate position. lie wak ready to lift the bigger flower pots for Lena, hand the tacks to Charlie, or climb up a ladder with a hammer for Winyard. it was during the last named service, when they w^re both perched high up on a lad der; that AVlnyard imparted to his chlel'the news he had just received. "l'have just heard, " he said, in u low voice, as he took the hammer, "tbnt our foreign frionds have left , Wtflso." Then, without waiting for a reply, J he turued and began driving a long | nail o the hard beam. Most of us | love to drive a nail, though few care" for' the mere tedious task of first bor I lng*.the hole. And sc many deals are i split in this world, and many hearts are broken. | Colonel Wright from below watched the steady swing of the hammer, and ! aotet' the almost boyish delight which Winyard took in Ills noisy occupa tion. It seems that with some people it proper sense of responsibility-- >-a realization of life's gravity ? never comes; and, what is stranger still, they appear to get on very well with out it. ?When the noil was driven, and the rftrtain duly arranged, the two men descended and stood bock iu the hall 10 enjoy the effect of their handiwork. They were out of earshot, and Char lie was hammering somewhere be hind tho dropscene on ihe stage, no Winyard took the opportunity *>f say ing: "Colonel, It is just possible that something may come out in time about Marie Bakovitch ? something untrue, I mean, that might do her ' hrfrm. If my name should fn any way get on gossip's tongue when I am away, do not trciblo to contradict anything to the general world. For Her the contradiction would be worse than tne slander ? for it would1 mean a charge of attempted murder. For myself ? I thought I did not enre ? but now I find I do. I should not like your ? Mrs. Wright, arid yonr daughter to beUevc anything they mlgh^hear. You understand?" "Yes," replied the colonel, slowly, "I understand. Shall wo put up the other curtain now?" CHAPTER XXI. Behind the Scene The critical moment had come. Tho stage was ready, the footlights burning cheerily, and Colonel Wright was at his post, with tho curtain cords held tightly. Through the cur tain^came the buzz of many voices, sllghjly hushed by expectation. Charles Mistley rose to the occa sldhv*iuletly and steadily, as was his Worit. He appeared to know every one's part as well as his own; but only displayed this knowledge when absolutely necessary, for he possessed a\vjrtue without which no man is a leafier ? absolute faith in those be neath him. The curtain descended at tho end ?f tho second act amid great ap plause; but when this had died away, a sudden silence supervened. There was a vaguo feeling among tho au ditors that a crisis was coming; that they had been made to laugh simply In order that they might the more easily bo mado to weep. Sad and softly sighing music, which works on tho h-iman feelings liko water on a penny bun, softening and enlarging, now followed. 'vjjiarl^a Hist ley had decreed thai the longest interval should bo be tween tho third and fourth acts, on fhe consideration that suspense sharpens tho nicntaT appetite. Few j alterations were required on tho stage and Wlnyard was settlug straight | things '.hat were already straight ? n I way we sometimes have when expec tation Is pressing on ur, when Mnbel Band ford hurried out of tho ladies' dressing room. "Wlnyard," Rhe said In a whisper, "I am awfully i.frald Miss Wright Is going to break down. When I went Into our dressing rom ihst now, she was as white as a sheet. She said thero was nothing tho matter, and went out Into th?? conservatory, I be lieve; 'but I saw ner Hps trembling, and sho wnlked unsteadily. I don't want to alarm you unnecessarily, be cause ! am suro you must bo getting self, but a glass of wine- or Wlnyard never liked Mabel 8and? ford as he did at that moment. Fot the first time in his presence she had forgotten herself, and in consequence appeared, as sho In reality was, q very good natured girl. "Thanks, Mabel," he said simply. "I only hope it Is not nervousness. I will take her some wine, and will also send some Into the ladles' dressing room. I ought to have thought of that before. Mind you take some yourself, btvause your work is not over yet, and remember, you will have to dance till daylight after thin!" "Oh, I am aU right, thanks! M would probably put her >au?ned the girl, turning away. ^'I have plenty of time to change my drees, have I not?" "Yes, plenty." Slowly he walked across the stage, and passed out Into the garflen. In tho dimly lighted conservatory he found Lena sitting alone. 8he was leaning forward with her bare hands clafcped upon her knees. In crossing the garden the little curls about her temple, had been Mown aside, and now the pale light of the lamp sus pended among the ferns above her fell lovingly on the brown hair, and drew forth little golden gleams. She heard the footstep in the darkened doorway, but did not look up or move. Wlnyard stood for a moment in the doorway. The light fell on her face in such a way that he could see the gleam of tears in her eyes. There was a little movement in his throat and the muscles of his firm chin, as If he were swallowing something with' an effort, and then he advanced to ward her with tho usual misleading smile. It would appear that he at tributed those tears to over-oxcite ment in connection with the last act of the play. Indeed there was noth ing else for him to do, no other cause for him to seek, under the circum stances. No doubt he felt that the eveninj was far from its close as yet, and preferred to ignore the farewells with which it was to terminate. Men ran not do things well without giving their whole mind to the work they have in hand at the moment, and Wlnyard was, without doubt, think ing only of the theatricals. "Tired?" he said, interrogatively. Lena nodded in acquiescence, and slightly turned her head so that her face was in the shade. "Miss Wright," he said, with mock severity ? for he was desperately afraid of appearing serious ? "this will never do!" She did not reply, and made no at tempt to acknowledge the brilliant sally. "Lenr?" he said, suddenly, using her Christian name ? which he did but rarely ? "Lena, this is not like you." She was dressed for the thlrt act . ? In white, as he- had desired it, of a soft, silky material that clung round her sweet young form, in cunning folds. There was in ber whole being a subtle sense of refinement. Her dress was perfect; what little jewelry she wore was faultless; even the manner in which her hair wwa ar ranged spoke ef the deft handiwork of- practical lingers. As he stood at her side, the scdnt of the white jas rintne at her throat reached him. and firought back the memory of his re quest. In an instant he saw that all was exactly as he had desired it. Was it blindly, or with wondrous foresight that he persisted still in his jocularity? "1 am a little limp myself." he said. cheerfully. "I can not quite understand you," said the girl in the si\me conventional tone of [orced interest. "I am very much afraid you must be heartless, and devoid of filial feelings." "inasmuch as howT" he asked, slowly, pulling an innocent fern into small pieces. "Because you completely Ignore the fact that you practically start to night, after all this is over, upon a Journey which in all *probablllty will be ? " "My last?" he suggested, frivolous ly, as he threw all the particles of fern into tho air, and watched them flutter to the ground as if it were a most interesting experiment. She was silent, and appeared to be entirely absorbed in removing from her dress a small ond of thread left there by a careless seamstress. "At all events, there are risks at tached to it." "1 think," he said, "you are over rating things a little." The wretched little white thread would keep swimming about in the most unaccountable manner. Lena r longed to give even the most hurried touch to hor eyes; and oven as she longed, Wlnyard turned his back to her, and went benenth the lamp to consult his watch. Though ho con templated tho bland face of that ro table piece of mechanism for some moments, he never taw tho time; but that did not matter very much. "It would bo rather hard to over rate nokhar.i," she HA.'d, quietly. Then ho turned nnj slowly came back to her side. There wa3 an un comfortable drawn look about his Hps, and his eyes wero dull as he watched her mechanically smoothing tho folds of hr>r dress. "How do you know that It Is Dok hara?" ho asked in a low, steady voice. "I made ? papa ? tell me." "I am sorry you did that ? ex tremely sorry. Tell me ? does my mother know?" "No. No one beyond mydolf. nut you must tell her. It is better that she should know ? even that It is Hok'nra ? than be kept In Ignorance and suspense. I think ? that you do not (juito understand ? women!" "I thought thero was something on ? he old gentleman's mind," said Wln yard, suddenly changing his manner. "Nevertheless. I still maintain that you are looking at the worst side of things. Thero may bo one or two risks; but ? I am a very lucky fel low, you know, and generally turn up smiling at the end of a difficulty." "f think," said Lena, remorselessly refusing to smile, "that your talents are a decided loss to the Britinh stage." He looked fixedly at her, as if at tempting to penetrate thq^obscuritjr; MikAtpl OIK could read notktig from tit tolaty colls of hair t?ra?4 toward hla. \ Than tkt to no of kM vole* changed ?sola; ho dropytd his usual seml baatering stylo, and spoke as she had asTer heard hla ?>? k, except oa the occasion of the first rehearsal, la a roles which conveyed a happy mix ture of pathoe and philosophical In difference. "I hare a difficult part to play." he said, "and you are making It doubly so." She did not understand him. Her only feeliug was one of anger at her own slownesr of comprehension; she felt that tnere was a deeper meaning in the words thaa she had caught, and the .noments were slipping ? slipping awsy. . They got tl- rough the third act suc cessfully, and the curtain descended in silence. This only lasted, how ever, s moment, and was quickly fol lowed by deafening applause. It Jiad been almost too real. The music, the lowered lights and perhaps the dull excitement of the approaching farewell, had affected the actors, and into their parts they threw an in tensity and eariftStness which In the business-like rehearsals had been be yond tb-:ir powers. It was one o'clock before the last of the guests at length drove away, and Wlnyard ran upstairs to change his clothes for the long journey be fore him. CHAPTER XXIL Farewell. When the traveler came down stairs again, ho found the whole party assembled in the drawing room. His rough tweed suit formed a Strange. uncomfortable contrast with the evening dresses around him. De spite his fatiguing evening, he ap peared quite fresh and energetic. Charles Mistley was the only other person present who did not lopk worn and tired; nothing seemed to affect him. "I think," Suggested Winyard, looking, sideways at Lena, "that it would be most appropriate to finish up the whole entertainment with a song." The girl silently went to the piano, and, after a short search, found a small manuscript book. Winyard came up at that moment, and tak ing it from her hands, opened it ^ the unpublished song which she wot singing when he first saw her. It was on tho first page o? the book, written out in a girlish hand, tho notes large and very inky. Lena began the harp-like accompa niment and song. Slightly behind QV, o:i a low chair, her father sat and ate cold chicken with an old man's deliberate enjoyment. Winyard, in his lfght-colored suit, was perched on the high end of the sofa, with his thick boots dangling. Charlie stood near at hand. The girl appeared to sing the flrwt verse with a studied disregard for the meaning of the words, doing her best to render them expressionless. The second, however, she rendered with more of the true intensity; but at the end of It she stopped abrupt ly, and closed the book. "It fs rather too appropriate,? she said, wheeling round and pointedly addressing Mrs. Mistley.. They talked on in a vague' unin terested way, as people do at a wed ding or a funeral, white wailing for a curtain to rise, or to kill timo while a ship Is sinking beneath their feet. We are getting very clever nowa days. Soon the flora and fauna of the world will be exhausted ? soon we will know everything worth know ing about every animal on earth; but of eertain phases of the human mind wo know no more than Noah knew of the Inward thoughts of Sh^m, Ham and Japhet. At last the gravel outside grated under the light feet of Lena'3 mare and the heavier tread of a sleepy groom. In the meantime, Winyard had donned his gloves. He slipped two fingers beneath tho girths, and gave a preliminary tug at the stirrup leathers) then he turned to say good bye. "I Expect," he said, "to see you all In town In a week or so. Wo will not call this good-bye, because I have not got all my protty farewell speeches quite ready. They require further rehearsals. Do not stand at tho door," he added, -vith his Im perturable cheerfulness. "You will catch horrible colds, and abuse ine behind my back!" (To be continued.) nitTDE CAUSED A STRIKE. "The persistence of a bride in sat isfying her curiosity and the super stition of Mexican miners," sr>Id * Wa$Mngton man with mining inter est# ?n Mexico, "caused in Mexico whm* was perhaps one of the queerest str'^ej on record.

"She was greatly interested In the outside workings of the mines and wanted to Inspect the underground operations.

"The superintendent was aware of this feeling among the miners, of */hom several hundred were at work '.n this mine under his charge, and on the strength of It he tried to in duce his brldft to forego her wish to go underground. She ridiculed the superstition and Insisted thai she be shown through tho mine, and her husband gave way and took her down. "As he feared, consternation seized the miners as they saw the dreaded Intrusion, and as the word went round among them they deserted the mine llko rats leaving a sinking ship.

Why should it when it caa purrf But, nevertheless, it seems to serve the same purpose in permitting a temporary expenditure of excess ner vous energy when the animal is un der great strain. For instance, when carefully stalking a bird or a man, as in the case of a kitten or a lion,' the tip of the tail is never still^for a moment ? ever curling and uncurl ing. We may compare this to the nervous tapping of the foot or fing ers in a man. When an angry lion is roaring his loudest, his tail will frequently lash from side to side, giv- ] ing rise among the nncients to the belief that he scourged his body with a hook or thorn which grew from the end of the tail. When a jaguar walks along a slender bough, or a liouse cat peram bulates the top of a board fence, wo pcrceivo another important function of the tail ? that of an aid in balajic- | ing. As a tight-rope performer sways his pole, so the feline shifts its tail to preserve the center of gravity. The tail of a sheep seems to be of littlo use to its owner, although in the breed which is found in Asia Minor and on the tablelands of Tar tary, this organ functions as a store house of fat, and sometimes reaches a weight of fifty pounds. When viewed from behind, t lie animal seems all tail, and when this appendage reaches its full size it is either fast ened between two sticks which drags on the ground, or it is suspended 011 two small wheels. ?

Secondary education, as such preparatory training is general ly called, has had surprisingly little attention paid to it by educator* and philanthropists, notwithstanding that there are at least five times as many pupils in such schools as there are iu all our universities and colleges com bined.
