Manning and McLaurin Working
to Straighten Warehouse Law.
Columbia, September 25: ?Governor
Manning and Warehouse Com,
missioner McLaurin held a lengthy
conference in the Governor's office a
few days ago, discussing the advantages
of the State warehouse
system and the legislation necessary
to perfect the law governing it. No
statement was given out after the
conference, but it was learned that
both Governor Manning and Commissioner
McLaurin are agreed that
certain defects in the iaw should be
remedied and that there was practically
complete agreement between
the Governor and the- Warehouse

be done in perfecting this law that
means so much to the cotton producing
interests of South Carolina.
It is likely that Governor Manning
and Commissioner McLaurin will
hold frequent conferences on this
matter before the Legislature meets
in January and the results of these
conferences will probably be embraced
in a message from the Governor
to the Legislature during the
early part of the next session.
The following editorial from the
Yorkville Enquirer of September 21
refers to this subject:
"As a result of a conference between
Governor Manning and Warehouse
Commissioner John L McLaurin,
it develops that Governor Manning
is not secretly hostile to the
State warehouse system, as was
legitimately deduced from published
remarks recently attributed to him.
It is quite clear that if there should
be a regulation providing that managers
of State warehouses should be
absolutely disinterested parties,
neither owners of the . warehouses
nor of the cotton stored therein,
there could easily develop a situation
very different from that under
which all present progress has been
made. But from the reports of the J
conference referred to it appears!
that the Governor is most sincerely
solicitous of developing the warehouse
system along lines that will
work to the interest of the producer
of the cotton first, and the public
generally, second. The conference
referred to, we understand, developed
that there was practically complete
agreement between Mr McLaurin
and Mr Manning as to what
shall be done and the outlook is that
such recommendations as the Governor
shall see proper to make to
the General Assembly with regard
to improving and strengthening the
warehouse 3ystem, will be made
only after complete agreement between
the Governor and the Warehouse
Commissioner."

The next regular teachors' examination
will be held 'in the court

SARDINES BY THE MILLIONS.
A Glimpeo of the Groat Industry ai
Carried on In France.
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

Why the Lover Looks at the Fire.
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.

ramie periscope, whose tube is fixed

" containing a 1 effecting prism mount*

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

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.

saw a shadow of sadness in her eyes.
"This is our last day," she said in
a low tone.
"Yes, and I am 6orry," he repliea
6imply.
"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

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 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
