For the better part of a mile every building in Douarnenez, France, is a canning factory or fish depot I W86 there in July, and it was the height of the season?at least il seemed so to me, for the activity was feverish. I could not get awaj from the sight and the smeil of sardines. An endless stream of fishing smacks was coining up to the mol( and discharging cargoes, and ar endless row of sailors and boys anc girls was bringing the sardines ir baskets from the fishing smacks t( the denots. where thev dumped then ? 1 * X into wooden troughs. The sardine troughs are taken into the factor} and dumped into huge tanks ol brine. After a thorough salting the heads are cut off. The fish are cooked in oil and packed in cans oj the flat, rectangular kind familial to all the world. The work in the factories is done by Breton girls, who sing as the} handle the fish. They are remark ably industrious and cheerful, ane enough of them are good looking te make one linger longer in the work room than he would for mere inter est in sardines. But one does not get away fron sardines when he leaves the depoti and the factories, for between tin processes of salting and cooking they are dried, and this is general!} done out of doors. In every possi blc space on the quay not necessarj for passage there are wire basket; in which the sardines stand, taili in the air. Each basket contains { thousand. Each drying platforn has a thousand baskets. There ar< a thousand drying platforms. Then are four dryings per day. There an *200 days of good fishing. 1 advise you not to multiply thes< 1 i 11 il. . i.i.l 1 sums anu awen upon me loiai, am I advise you not to think of tin sardines in the boats, or in the bas kets, or in the troughs, or in th< vats, or dancing in the boiling oil If I leave a picture of Douarnene; sardines may it be rather of tin pretty Breton peasant girls, witl their immaculate white lace head gear, set olf by dark hair and wint reddened cheeks, singing and laugh ing at their work.?Herbert Adann Gibbons in Harper's Magazine.

When a young Savoyard goes a-wooing he pays considerably more attention to the admired one's fire than to her face. If she leaves the billets of wood undisturbed on the hearth it is a sign that he is welcome, but should she place one of the blazing fagots in an upright position against the others it is a hint for him to take his departure.

I SUBMARINE PERISCOPES. i Only On* Variety Shows the Entire Horizon at Once. There are many different styles , of periscopes. The simplest form is . a vertical steel tube about twenty i feet long, with a reflecting prism at ; the top and the lenses of a telescope ' at the bottom. It is, in fact, a sim' pie telescope whose line of sight . "turns a corner" from horizontal to vertical as it passes through the r prism. This instrument takes in ; j forty-five degrees of the horizon, or i! one-eighth the total field, at one I j view. By turning the tube on its i; axis the rest comes into sight suc>1 cessively. II This periscope gives very clear . I imoiroo hilf qo if r-iin UKod witll r j only one eye at a time it does not f; allow of distinguishing the differ?! ent pianos of vision very well and >! tires the observer's eye somewhat [! quickly. r The so called combination periscope allows of vision with both > eyes, though it is not stereoscopic. j A real image is thrown on a ground .! glass screen, much like that of a j: photograph camera. It may be lookj i ed at with the two eyes, but no im.' preseion of depth and space is givr . i en. The screen avoids excessive fatigue, but it can be used only in j bright light. The size of the image 3 is often insufficient to bring out de} tail. To obtain greater enlargement \ without diminishing clearness too '' much, magnifying lenses are sometimes added. The preceding periscopes do not j enable a commander to take a rapid 3 j survey of the horizon. It takes live 1 to ten seconds to make a complete ! circle. Again, the observer must 4 himself move around with the eye"J piece. If the image is to remain J upright without moving the cye" j piece it is necesary to use a comJ pensatory prism whose movement i! makes up lor that of the eyepiece. ^ I J. ilia 15 1111; uv ramie periscope, whose tube is fixed ~ and bears ai its summit a glass bulb " containing a 1 effecting prism mount* ed on a base that may be turned *; with a handle. There is a conipensating prism that turns at half the lj speed and keeps the image straight, "j To observe successively all points I of the horizon it suilices to turn the "( crank without its being necessary ? for either observer or eyepiece to change place. Nevertheless, however rapid the operation, it does not enable the ob server to see the whole horizon at ai once. This is realized in the periI j scope with ring shaped eyepiece. J j At the fop of the tube is a ring Jj shaped lens, which refracts toward 5j the base of the tube rays that reach ! i it from all sides. A panoramic imj age is thus obtained that includes all surrounding objects, though they j appear smaller and more distant 3 than with the naked eye. ?

I mmmmmmmm . i uu A Will and a Way The Mysterious Woman Who Could Neither Read Nor Write. By BELLE MANIATES. "His ruling passion was strong in death," remarked Jules I#orme whimsically as he learned the con tents of his father's will from his father's lawyer. "He knew that I would not comply with the terms of so atrocious a will to marry a woan who could neither read nor write." "You have a year of grace," reminded Coyle. A year later Jules appeared at the office of the family lawyer. "My lease is up, Coyle," A reminded. "And I think I have found a way by which you can fulfill all conditions and still retain your freedom. You can marry a woman who can neither read nor write, and immediately after the ceremony you can go abroad. At the expiration of two years she can quietly secure a divorce. You can spare a generous alimony. I have met a good, | conscientious girl who is perfectly j willing." "Is she a domestic ?" "Xo; I believe she does needle| work." ) "It's odd in these days of schools ; and truant olliccrs that she escaped j the alphabet at least.'' "She says she nQver has had the opportunity nor the desire to learn. I will arrange all details for you."? After some further discussion I Jules acceded to the proposition, ; and at dusk of the appointed day he rang for admission to Coyle's residence. The lawyer met him in the hall and ushered him into a dimly lighted library, where a min: ister and Henry Phillips, Jules'next i friend, were in waiting. They all ! went into the reading room adjoin| ing. Near the doorway Jules paused and looked into the room, which was in total darkness, i With an odd sinking of the heart Jules took his position beside the shadowy form of a woman. lie | made the responses in a quick, jerky ; way, anxious to end the atfair. The I woman at his side spoke in nearly I inaudible tones. I When the sentence of man and i wife was pronounced Jules returned ! to the library and hastily signed j some papers Coylc gave him. ! "Where is my wife?" he then asked. wharf, when he saw Phillips making his way toward a young girl who was daintily petite in form and lovely of face and feature. She was accompanied by a middle aged woman. "You must look after Miss Der' rington, Jules/' cautioned Phillips as he was taking leave of them all a few moments later. "Iler aunt | has the stateroom habit, she tells ! me." Jules scarcely heard him. He was looking into the wonderful eyes of the young girl. An hour later Mrs. Marshall had fulfilled the j prophecy regarding the stateroom, : and Jules had joined Salome on ! deck. I "You don't seem a stranger to me," she said. "I have come to know you through your books." There followed a long and animated discussion of books and authors until dinner time. "She is a darling," Jules told himself as he lay in his berth listening to the rhythmic measures of the engines that night. The voyage passed in a succession of days of sparkling sunshine. Mrs. Marshall remained perforce in lolitary confinement, and Jules was constantly with Salome, who grew fairly radiant with happiness. He came to have an odd feeling at times, as if in some pre-existence she had belonged to him; then his new fancy would be succeeded by the mystic cli^rm of the other. Early in tlffc morning of the last day of their voyage he came out on. the afterdeck. Salome was already i.i a- -i.-. i 4 1,?

"I wish you were coming with us ?to the north of England." He did not reply at once. "It can't be," he argued to his troubled self. "It is only the first fluttering fancy of a young girl? the fancy for an older man and one who writes. I 6hall not see her after we land. Still in a young, romantic girl's heart affection sometimes flourishes in absence. I should tell her. I will." "Salome"?the name slipped out unconsciously?"I should have told you before, but I disliked to talk about my personalities. I am married." He then briefly related the circumstances of his marriage. "Before the ceremony," he concluded, "I had considered only my part in the affair. I was narrow enough to think that because she had been denied certain advantages a little money would recompense. It may have been great need for herself and others that forced her to tliis step. At any rate, I should have talked the matter over with her. I am going to return to New York if she wishes and have the marriage annulled." He glanced at her for the first time during the recital. Ilis heart leaped to life. In her eyes was an exquisite softness. A slight moisture dimmed her lashes. She held out her hand. "Thank you for telling me. And Duty and Happiness. I can but think that the world would be better and brighter if our teachers would dwell 011 the duty of happiness as well as on the happiness of duty, for we ought to be as bright and genial as we can, if only because to be cheerful ourselves is a most effectual contribution to the happiness of others.?Sir John Lubbock. now I must tell you something. I, too, am married." "You! Salome, impossible!" "I was married the night before we sailed in Mr. Coyle's library." "Salome, the woman I married was tall?very tall." "I stood on a stool." "Her name was Mary." "My first name is Mary. I never use it except to sign." He gathered her close in his arms as one who claims his own. "Salome, only the recollection of my wife was between us. Will you be my wife?my real wife ?" There was a revealing answer of joy in the face upraised to his. "Tell me," he commanded, "hew it came about." "My aunt engaged Mr. Coyle to manage our estate. He learned how interested I was in your books, and he talked much of you and the will. He proposed this marriage and _1 J iU. TT _ _ J piauncu nie voyage. ne bum we could find out if we cared"? "I can't imagine Coyle's being romantic," he laughed. "It wasn't romantic. He would not have proposed it if"? "If ?" "Oh, Jules, I can neither read nor write! I have been blind since I was four years old until three months ago. Aunt read your books to me." Another Solomon. A horse dealer in a Scotch town having hired a horse to a solicitor, the latter, either through bad usageor some other cause, killed the horse, when the dealer insisted upon payment by bill if it were not convenient to pay cash. The lawyer had no objection to grant a bill, but said it must be a long date. The dealer told him to fix his own time, when the man of law drew a promissory note, making it payable on the day of judgment. An action was raised, when the solicitor asked the presiding judge to look at the bill. Having done so, the judge replied : "The bill is perfectly good, and us this is the day of judgment 1 decree that you pay tomorrow." 1 "She remained in the reading i room." j The young bridegroom hesitated; . then resolutely he turned and went back into the reading room. His eyes, now accustomed to the gloom, discerned her at the end of the room. She was sitting on a couch, ! her face buried in the cushions. One arm hung listlessly over the 1 edge. "May I speak with you?" Jules asked courteously. She did not lift her head from the pillow. "I want to thank you," he continued, "for the service you have rendered me." She murmured a disclaimer of his thanks. He took her hand. It was 6till cold and trembling. His I grasp, firm and sustaining, tighti i eupu. "I am sorry," lie said firmly, "that you will not see me, but I want you to promise me that if you i ever need help or advice you will j come to me." "1 will," she said softly. "Lorme!" called the warning i voice of Coyle from the doorway. I "1 must go now. Good night." | He went to his lodgings and tried j to smoke away the burden of his thoughts. The shadowy outlines of the tall, drooping figure and the low tones in which she had spoken haunted him all night. "I suppose her motive was as mercenary as my own, so I don't need to reproach myself." The next day he was leaning against the railing of the 6teamer, idlv watch in the scenes unon the I Oru Clubbing Rates.
