DETECTED By Philip 0. HoBtft Jr.

Coarrlcht. 1698 br J7p.U»*cottCo.

"Ah!" »aid Terrill, taki ; the parcel and feeling the book inside. "Will you give me a dollar if I tell you the name in three guesses?*'

"Done," said tny friend. Terrill turned it over, weighed it in

his hand, squeezed it hi ail direction*, amelt it. Finally;

"If it isn't the third edition of Bryoa'a •Bride of Abydos/ it's the first edition of Lamb's 'Farewell to Tobacco.'"

Ever since I heard this remarkable story tt had been one of my amuse­ments to test TerrilTs knowledge in a Tariety of ways, sometimes with suc­cess, sometimes without. The wizened old fellow now glanced at the book un­der my arm.

•It'a not a find," I said, in answer to hia glance. "It's only a bound volume of an old magazine."

?Ah, yes," said he, undoing the paper sad looking a t the book. "It's a rare book all the none; I didn't know there was another copy in the country outside the Manhattan library."

Some customers came in, and I passed oat to think over this new lead. So the only other copy of this book was in the Manhattan library. Then whoever had copied "Daisy's Quest" must or may have done so at the Manhattan Hbfary, roles* he or she had a private copy of the book, which, was not likely..

In half an hour I was at the library, where my story was told to the head l&rarian, who was quite a friend of oars and more than willing to help the Gazette. The system pursued at the Bbrary made it easy to find out when a book had been used, and by. whom. Svery reader had to fill np a blank card with the name of the volume wanted and sign it . Each day's cards, several kttDdred in number, were preserved. I t would be a matter of time and patience to wadethrongh tibia mas*, beginning a few daya before Danders' letter to the Gazette and going back, but this was one of the tests of a born detective; he ocgkt to shadow a man lor months without complaint; go without food or sleep for a week—in fact, make a per­fect martyr of himself and enjoy it.

The librarian was willing to allow me to search the cards for what I wanted, and I began work at once, sticking to i t until the closing ze^tl iroughthetouldsBg- In the hours wo occupied I went over the cards of two weeks without finding that any-one had called for the Londoner. It was cjeita possible that there might he other v^aeaes of tne4 eopy toatiag abowt the city; the rascal who called hiasseU Taj mil is might have nicked one op for s> few cents. I went home in a discon* tosses snood, go ing* mile oat of ~ y way to stop at the saloon In Thirteenth street* where my harkeeplng friend told BM that Danders had not reappeared.

T i l f ive Ave dollars to get a two-Brisvtea* g u n c e at Danders. There's say address. Send a saeasenger for me when Danders comes, and the money will be yours."

The man understood. Walking; home an idea came to meV If the Manhattan library's copy of theXoodoner for 1849 had been used within a month or two, the dust upon it would not be so thick as upon volumes that were never dis­turbed, say the volumes of that bril­liant periodical, the Congressional Rec­ord.. . , A good night's sleep put new heart

into me, and before the doors of the library opened I was there. So were eight or ten other eager workers, evi­dently professional readers, to whom the Manhattan's books were tools. One-man, whom I recognized as a designer of theatrical costumes, told me he came to look for ideas in the great art works of France and Germany, and seldom came avraj. 2rom his day's work without sketches enough to provide a. whole burlesque company" .-with:; t'costumes; which, however, to those who know the sort of costumes affected by bur-lesquers, is not, perhaps, saying much. Several of my companions on the steps might hare been students; one was a tramp, who wanted a.day-'s rest in a comfortable chair; and another, with whom 1 scraped acquaintance a day or two later, was a clerk in a big publish­ing house.

One figure in the little group partic­ularly interested me, that of a dark young girl, apparently not more than IS or 39 years ot age, who seemed out of place among these workers. There was nothing of the student about her, and not much of the worker; her dress was extremely neat, and, to my inex­pert eyes, even fashionable. Slender, dark, quiet, decidedly pretty and de­cidedly a lady, her one idea seemed to be to get into the library as soon as pos­sible and without attracting attention. It was something of a surprise to me to note later in the day that this young woman, instead of poring over a novel, was copying extracts from volumes al­most as big as herself.

Nine o'clock struck, the big doors of the library swung open, and our tittle group, now numbering at least a score of persons, filed in and scattered. 1 took op my pile of cards where I had left oft, and went at it pending the ar­rival of the librarian. That gentleman sssfled at say suggestion to examine the copy ot the Londoner for 1848, bm geed-natnrediy led the way t e e * alcove in the second star/ . In the seaei-uark-ness I almost ran over n yonnf fellow carrying an armfnl of books, one of the attendante of the library. .The pertic-nler copy of the Londoner was fount,

no second gianee waa needed to that It had been taken down more

recently than any of its fellows upot the s a v e shell, Plainly it was worth

while to keep on with my search

faunfeys-giving gOMfteMa fall g & wijjjpot £ndU*g whip EpBaght££4 _ swatted i*% mnteheW of th^ttbrarrf i ieava for luncheon, the young girl xt had noticed at the door was carrying one of her bay-be a ho back t e the desk. She staggered under the weight.

"Will you allow me to belp youf* 1 whispered, for loud talk is forbidden in-dde the library. And, taking her smile as an answer, I took the book and car­ried it to the desk.

"Thank you," she., whispered, and was gone.

I met her again on my way back from luncheon. I was so tinC with nay morning's work that I ventured upon a litt'.e stroll towards one of my favor-, ite haunts in the Bowery, a book-stall where 1 had sometimes found treas­ures. Hope deferred, says the poet or somebody else, maketh the heart sick; and my hopes had been aroused and deferred several thousand times that morning. Upon every, card I took up I had hoped to see "Londoner Maga­zine, 1848," and I had seen nothing of the kind. The slcuth-houad within me was tired out. Another day of it, and 1 should ask to have some one else de­tailed to find ML . James G. Danders, i t was in this despondent frame of mind that I began to torn over the pile of old books exposed upon a sidewalk stall, and i t was only when 2 happened to in­terfere with the delving* o i a neighbor in the same box that with as tar t of pleasure I recognised the girl whom 1 had helped in the Horary an hour be­fore, 6¾¾ aside no pretenae of ignoring me; on the contrary, she smiled in the pleasantest manner, and ha five minutes we were talking books with all the friendliness of old aoquaintanoea.. She. was as clever and interesting as she was pretty. And she whs abnost aa fond of old books as I was.

*T suppose you wonder why I work so hard there," she said, aa we strolled back towards the Hteary,

"Wot a* aH," said[-¾ wondering all the more, and waiting with some curi­osity for the explanation that would now be forthcointing.

"My father i s an invalid," she went on, with a sigh and the first shadow I had seen on her face. "He ia almost blind, owing to an accident, and can­not see well enough to go about the streets. Nevertheless he writes a great deal. So that when he needs to consult n book at the library, which is about every day, I have to be hia representa­tive, copying what I think will be of veJnelobis*. Often I find that I ha ve wasted my day, aa I am net scholar enough to knew exnetly what my fa­ther wants ami whet he doesn't want. First I copy the tabs* of book and take it to niarn. fie it and aaarka the chapters he wants. The library rale ia not to allow a beak to go outside of the beHding; if the directors knew how n*any nnndreds and thousands of w i s e s pages I hawe copied from their dnsty aid hooks in *ie***i two years, and how many head­aches their rule is responsible for, X really think they would make aa excep­tion in my favor."

"Whet particular field are yon laaar-es ted inr ia f tked . ThUwaadeepnpen my part, for with that information I could find out from the cards the nave and address of this interesting young person. I had never laid eyes upon her before nine o'clock that morning, and yet, somehow, I f e l t s strong disinclina­tion to lose sight ot her. She might dis­appear and leave no more trace behind her than that wretch of a Danders bsd done.

"I read chiefly books concerning the Inquisition. My father is writing a book upon the history of the Spanish Inquisition."

We were at the library the next mo­ment, but as we went in she gave me

not found my man; it was a wom­an. I came across several nrnre eajds bearing Miss Jtobertson's ^jggnntfre and a request for the Xnnaoniriof""* evidently she had used tbJntrtFBroc most every day for a weekf? Tha$ i n j l l kept away from iSFGazefte of flee in order to avoid the questions I should hare met there, for I had re­ported that I was examining the eards in the Manhattan library. Thus does conscience make cowards even of suc­cessful detectives.

The next day I put in eight hours of work at my bundles of cards, going back half a year. Apparently no one else had touched that number of the Ion-ioner or any other number of that magazine. I reviewed the evidence as detectives are wont to do in books. Here was a young woman engaged from morning till night in copying from the Londoner of June, 1848. ''Daisy's Quest" had been stolen from this book, and according to Terrill, an expert, it was unlikely that there was another copy outside of that library to be found in the country. No other person had taken the book out.

Nevertheless, before any accusation could be made, it would certainly be necessary to connect Miss Robertson with Danders. That might not be easy. Puzzled and sick at heart, I was leaving the library at four o'clock, when at the door I fotfnd Mi*s*Bcbert-sen gaaing out into the rain with dis­may. I had purposely avoided her dur-.. lug the day, contenting myself with making sore that she was at work as usual. I t was Impossible to avoid her now, for I had an umbrella and she had none. Perhaps, nfttx all, a de­tective ought not to negieet this op-portunity to know naore of Miss Boh* ertsee. So L offered t o take her to the ear. Her manner waa a trifle stiff; perhaps she hall noted and resented my studied avoidance.

"Let me see—yon win "have to take a £brth avenue ear,** said this particular detective, in his stupid, way.

"Why, yes; but how did you know that?" snul Miss Bobertson, her -eu-riosity getting t i e best of her displeas­ure, If there had been any displeasure. Perhaps it was only my conceit that gave birth to this latter fancy.

I have always been considered n fairly ready liar, bat for a few seconds I stumbled, » could not tell her that f had her address carefully copied into my note book, I suppose i t was news­paper instinct that prompt*^ ma. to say:

- I happened to-nee yon take n«xth* svenne ear Inst night aa I was going

i home." "That's very strange/* said the girl.

ent It seems that some one took a patent on the same idea more thar 40 years ago. tt cost papa about (400 to find that oat. Patent lawyers are ex­pensive, poor papa! Between the Spanish Inquisition and his patent um­brella—" And a sigh finished the sen­tence.

"Did he show his idea to sny unv brella makers?"

"Oh, yes.. But when he found that he couldn't get a patent he lost heart and put the dozen umbrellas sway in a corner, each umbrella with a big hole but with no glass as yet, That's why I have no umbrella to-day "

"Blessed invention I" I ventured, and I really meant i t

Miss Bober'son flushed slightly. "Ton wouldn't say so if you knew

what it has cost us. "I k**ow an umbrella maker," I went

on. "He's an intimate friend of mine. Do you think your father would object t o my taking one of his sample um­brellas to my friend? Patent or no patent. It might be worth something. Yen might at least get your #400 back newto."

"It hi not owl W aijr wny. Beaidse, H [might rain again.* i So we went on

permission « s r r r back to her table the ponderous tome I' had already helped her with. When that WRE tJone I went back to my work with redoubled interest. If the cards told me nothing about Danders, they would tell me something else I was equally eager to know. Before I had been at work for £0 minutes something happened that highly amazed me. Upon one and the &ame card was all the information \I looked for. This card told me that on March 23 of that year Miss Ellen Bob­ertson, of 119 West Thirtieth street, had taken out Limbroch's "History of the Inquisition," London, 1731; also Cardozo's "History of the Spanish In­quisition," Madrid, 1S07; and also— coald I trust my eyes—the Londoner for 1848!

It For a few moments I sat dazed at

my discovery. That, however, was no state of mind for a detective, especially tor a detective who had detected some­thing. What was I to do? Denounce this young girl as a possible thief to the library authorities? Such a course would put an end to her chances for copyisg any more English stories for American newspapers; but it would mean disgrace, and in all probability it would not result in recovering the $100 that the Gazette had lost. Moreover, the more I thought of the girl and her pleasant ways, the less I liked the idea of accusing her of wrongdoing. I pon­dered the problem for a good boar. Danders' note was in my pocket. It was some encouragement to find that the ha«4Trttipgswa*<n«Va bit like the fine f*stini»e scrawl of Miss Ellen Kob-(*r*aw»^ k was perfectly possible that this copy of the Londoner might have bean tsk.n out by nnother person, Dan­ders, for instabee, as well as by Miss Robertson. With this theory In view I went manfully to work at my cards again, and no thoroughly convinced myself thst such mast be the east that when my friend, the librarian, passed my desk at dosing time, and asked me whether I had found my man, I was weak enough to any, No. Aeeordfog to the strict termj of y » l* !**?* (

8lxth evens* and then turned apt awn. In lees time than I eaa write it, and by what magic 1 hardly know, 1 had wholly forgotten that Miss Uobertaoa waa probably a criminal of a mild type and I the sleuth-hound on her track, the avenger. She had very pretty way*^-»or a crim­inal. And she talked more to my lik­ing than any other girl I had met in years,.or before that.

"There's the sort of rain costume you ought to have," I said, pointing to a draped wax figure in the brilliantly lighted show-window of a great shop— a woman in a long mackintosh, holding an open umbrella in the face of a suppos­ititious rainstorm. It was the regular rainy-day exhibition of that particular shop.

Miss Bobertson paused and looked at the display with interest. There were also costly gowns and fine furs in the same window showcase, which* was as big as some drawing-rooms. • "Yes, that is very nice," she. saidv

with something of a sigh. Evidently the sight of EO much silk and satin made her envious.

"Why," I asked, "does every woman sigh deeply as she turns away from such a display or from a jeweler's window? Five women turned away from that window in the last three minutes, and every one of them gave a deep sigh as she did so."

"Did I sigh too?" uYou were the fifth." "It wns not covetousness that made

me sigh," she said, "it was the sight of that umbrella held against what was supposed to be a driving storm. Have you ever noticed how easy it is to run Into a lamppost or into another person when you carry an umbrella in that way? Of course you have. My poor father made that observation several years ago, and was unfortunate enough to devise a remedy*"

"Unfortunate V "Yes. Do you remember my men*

tloning, the day we first met, that my father's eyesight had been almost de­stroyed by an accident? One night luring s storm, when people staggered blindly along, their umbrellas held straight in front of them, a woman pat the point of her umbrella into jay fa­ther's eye. At the time he thought but little of the matter, but some nerve waa injured, and be has been almost blind ever since. That is nearly three years ago. While laid op, he invented a way to prevent such ceeidents. He proposed to sew an eyeglass into the ssnbrelia, so that a person eoeJd look ahead and avoid any obstruction.*

I T o i a bad idea, I should think. I suppose he ymteatad i t and lost a pile of laoney;. l»v«ntors always do."

Dr. Barrata has advocated In the Ital­ian parliament a compulsory insurance against earthquakes, says the Scientific Americas. Owners of vineyards and othtrs protect themselves in this way against faatt end, .therefore, why not against another calamity even more destructive, as they average about 750 shocks a year, snd eertsln parts of Italy have occasionally suffered terribly. The idea cf the Insurance Is a shrewd one from the point of view of public economy. It shifts the burden from the exchequer to private purses. The busi­ness would be of a peculiarly risky na­ture, for such an epidemic of earth­quakes as has devastated Calabria be­tween 1783 and 1786 might easily bring any ordinary company to bankruptcy. The risk wot'Id have to be widely spread, and actuaries would be bozzled to calculate the premiums for different places.

Some parts of the peninsula enjoy practical immunity. The great plain of Venetia has never suffered. Borne and Naples are occasionally shaken, al­though as a rule not seriously, but dis­aster frequently occurs in volcanic die? tricts, as in Ischia in 188: and 188¾ when the loss both of life and property was serious. Caiabris is far the worst as an earthquake region. Over 1,400 people perished in one locality i t the period mentioned above.

And in passing let a»e say that ho who has the weapon of the band un­injured and in foil nse needs no other. Ton cowards who walk with sword cane or carry a pistol in your hip pocket, had better, lay aside your dead­ly weapon. At the frontier, o? fas bar-barons lands, or as an ofneer of the law aboat to make arrest, such arming may be necessary, but no citl* cen moring in these esriazed regions need* such reenforeement.

The dtsooorse of Dr. Talmage i s a lesson of gratitude for that which none of us fully appreciate and show* the divine meaning in our phjsleai structure; test, X Corinthians 22:21: "The eye can no*/ say unto the h*ad, I hare no need of thee.**

These words suggest that some time two rery important parts of the hu­man body got into controversy, and the eye became insolent and fall of brag­gadocio and said: MI am an independ­ent part of the h*raau system. Bow far I can see, taking in spring morning and midnight aurora! Compared with myself, what an isaignlfieaat thing is tne hnman hand. 1 look down upon it, there i t hangs, swinging at the side, a clomp of muscles and nerrec, and ^ ennsa^se^ SA tee% either way^ It-has no ln*tere<unpa«d with A a t which I beam forth.** MWaat senseleas talk,™ .esposds the hand.

That wrist, with i t s hands o f fiber* and i t s hinged >atmt and tore-lag on two snea—oa the larger saris moving backward ami forward, and on the smaller axis turning nearly round. And there ia the palm of your hand, with rta five bones, **ch haring a shaft and two terminations. There are the fingers of that hand, with 14 bones, each finger with its curiously wrought tendons, five of the bones with end­ing roughened for t,he lodgment of the nails. There Is the thumb, coming from opposite direction to meet the fingers, so that in conjunction they may clasp aud hold fast that which you desire to take. There are the long nerves running from the armpit to the 46 muscles, so that all are under mas­tery. The whole anatomy of your hand as complex, as' intricate, as symmet­rical, as useful as God could make it. What can it not do? It can climb, it can lift, it can push, it can repel, i t can menace, it can clutch, it can deny, u can affirm, it can extend, it car. weave, it can bathe, it can smite, it can hnmble, it ean exalt, if ran sooth* it can throw, i t can defy, it can wave, U can imprecate, it can pray.

A skeleton of the hand traced on blackboard, or. unrolled in diagram, or hung in medical museum, is mightily illustrative of the divine wisdom and goodness, but how much more pleas­ing when in living action ail its nerves and muscles and bones and tendons and tissues and ;,pha!an<jes display what God Invented when He indented the humao hand. Two specimens cf it we carry at our side from the time when in infancy we open them to take a toy till in the last hour of a long life we extend them in bitter farewell.

With the divine help I shall speak of the hand as the chief executive offi­cer of the soul, whether lifted for de­fense, or extended for help, or busied in the art*, or offered in salutation, or. wrung in despair, or spread abroad in benediction. God evidently intended ail the lower orders of living beings should have weapons of defense, and beitte the elephant's tusk, snd the horse's hoof, and the cow's horn, and the lion's tooth, and the insect's 4ting. Having given weapons of defense to the lower orders of living1 beings, of course He would not leave roan, the highest order of living beings on earth, defenseless and at the mercy of brutal or ruffian attack. The right, yea, the duty of self-defense is so evident it needs nO. argumentation* The hand is the divinely fashioned weapon of defense. We may seldom have to use it for such purposes, but the fact that we are so equipped insures safety. The hand is a weapon sooner loaded than any gun, sooner drawn than iny sword. Its fingers bent into the palm, it becomes « bolt of demolition. Sol­omon speaks of ihc bands as the "keeper* of the hoo*e,w or the defend­er*. Sureiy such a cast le** the hu­man body needs such protection a* the hand alone can offer.

His own hands fret, see how the , Lord sympathized with the man who had lost the use of bis hand. It was a case of atrophy, a wasting away until the arm and band had been reduced in size beyond any medical or surgical

Restoration. Moreover, it was his right hand, tbe more important of the two, for the left side in all its parts is weak­er than tbe right side, and we involun­tarily, in any exigency, put out the right haud because we know it is the best hand. So that poor man bad lost .12or* tljfttt.-h-Tlr" rtf his nhrsina! arma­ment. It would not have been so bad if it had been the left hantf. But Christ looked at the shriveled tip right .hand dangling uselessly at the aiaxt's side. and then cried out v ith a voice that had omnipotence in it:*'^?St>/et.cb forth thy right hand!" and the record is "be stretched it forth whole as the other." The blood rushed through the shrunk­en veins, and the shortened muscles lengthened, and the dead nerves thrilled, and the lifeless fingers tingled with resumed circulation, and the re­stored mas held up in tbe presence of the skeptical Pharisee one of Jehovah's masterpieces—a perfect hand. No won­der that story is put three times in the Bible, so that if a sailor were cast away on a barren, island, or a soldier's New Testament got mutilated in battle and whole pages are destroyed, the ship­wrecked or wounded man in hospital would probably have at least one of those three radiant stories of what Christ thought of the human hand.

A pastor in his sermon told bow « little child appreciated the value of his band when he was told that on the morrow it must be amputated in or­der to save his life. Hearing that, he went to "a quiet place and prayed that God would spare his hand. Tbe sur­geon, coming the next day to do his work, found tbe hand so much better that amputation was postponed, and the hand got well. The pastor, telling of this in a sermon, concluded by hold­ing up his hand and saying: "That is the very hand that was spared in an­swer to prayer, and I bold it.up, a mon­ument of Divine mercy."

Again, the band U the chief exece> tive officer of the soul when wrung is agony. Tears of relief are sometime* denied to trouble. Tbe eyelids at s«eh times are as hot and parched and hom­ing as the brow. At such time even tbe voice is suppressed, and there la no sob or outcry. Then the wringing of the band tell* the story. At the close of a life wasted ta sin sometime* come* that expression of tbe twisted fingers —the memory of years that will sever retnm, o£ opportunities the ttk* of

pillow. We all heeded grace for such handshaking, though our band was strong and.their hand was weak, and we wili need grace for tbe coming good-bys, and that grace we bad better seek while amid the felicities of health and homes unbroken. Thank God, there will be no good-by in Heaven.

Again, the band is the chief executive of the soul when employed in benedic­tion. No gesture of the human hand means more than the outstretched ges­ture. In many of our religious denom­inations we are not permitted to pro­

whatever the best i s worth more, and if it be not too easily produced, than this. So long as a man grows only for Ute universal market, he must sell at

With both hands bless the children. Take them in your arms and kiss their fair cheek/ Take with them a round of merriment in the room before you leave it, and by prayer put them in the arm* of the Christ, to go to whom in olden time they struggled to get out of the arms of their mothers. God bless the cradles and high chairs and nurser­ies all around the world.

Extend your bands in benediction for the aged. Take their counsel snd. ask their prayers, and smooth tbe path down tbe declivities. By neglect and unfilial demeanor add uo wrinkles to their brow, no more stoop to their shoulders. They h*ve their hand on the latch of the door through which they will soon go out of sight of your homes and churches. May tbe mantles of Elijah fall upon the Elijahs! Spread your hand for the benediction upon all the men and women in the tug of life, many of them tired and buffeted and disheartened. Never go out of a store or shop or office or field without pro­nouncing a benediction.

And what better use can i make of my hands, which are the chief execu­tive officer of wy soul, th*i now to spread them abroad in the apostolic benediction which has been pronounced for centuries, aad over hundreds of thousands of assemblage*, at corona­tions and obsequies, a t harvest homes and on fast days, by all the minsters of taw Gospel in the past as it will be by all minister* of tbe Gospel until the church militant reaches up its right hand to take the right hand of the church triumphant; a benediction which, when it has its fall sway, will leave nothing for oor world to want or Heaven to bestow: "May tb* grace of oor Lord Jesus Christ, sad the love of God, sod tbe commsnioa of the Hofr Ghost, he with yon all forever, A — * >

But let.him grow something bet ter than can be found in the market, and he can get enough higher prices to pay him double'for all his extra trouble. T h i s is the secret of getting rich in all kinds of business. Money is to be got from those who have it, and not from those who have it not. Does this forget the poor? JfotatalL The struggle to im­prove quality is always changing its ground. The best of one year is thus placed within the reach of all a few years later, and another best has taken it* place.

Barring accidents from untimely frosts, it is the best fruit that pay* the most profit and that can be grown most, cheaply if the, average of years is con-iidered. The labor of spray ing with in­secticides and with fungicide* to make the fruit fair, and the further labor of thinning it, produces so much more fruit every year that it can be sold with profit* at rates within & e reach of all. The very rtch will still get the best and pay for it, but .tins poorest will get more and better fruit! than they ever beforeen joyed.—Massachusetts Plough­man. ?

The art of arranging a veil success­fully, and at the same time fashion­ably, eannot be so simple as it seems, since so many women fail to accom­plish the desired result. They put their teils on so tight that tliey wrin­kle across the face and flatten the end of the nose, and tbe unneeded length is left to bang in untidy ends at tbe back. All veils should be gathered a few inches from tbe middle of the upper edge to make them fit. Fashion va­ries in the disposition of this little ar­ticle of dress which, if not properly ar­ranged, can: make a woman look as if everything she has on had been thrown at her. Just at present veils are made crescent shape with applique lace bor­ders, and are worn very loose, leaT>: ing the chin entirely free. Afternoon teas are responsible for this fashion,

ras ioqsc. veils are more easily managed than tight dues. The latest novelty in veiling has a blue chenille dot, and Russian net mounted over white tulle.

Science bai lately made it possible to obtain good wine from tbe apple, which has always been devoted to eparkiiug cider. Experts have been deceived in sherry, madeira and sauterne which came from apple juice instead of gt a pes.

Juice from the apple is fermented with yeasts of different kinds brought from tbe grape-gTOWing districts of Eu­rope to this country. For instance, the flavor of sherry is doe not to tbe grope, but to tbe infinitesimal fungus germs that cause its fermentation. The Amer­ican companies import these germs from the district in Spain where they flourish, inoculate the apple juice and obtain a fine wine. The same process is followed with other varieties of wine.

These yeasts are obtained from the sediment in the vats of Enrope. They are easily propagated, and the only difficulty i s to separate tbe different kinds. As the quality of wine depends on these fungi winemakers have usual­ly left to chance the kind of wine they produce, depending on the organisms which float in the air and attach them­selves to the grapes. The yeasts are sold bottled, and are much i n demand.

The WATCHMAKER

EDWABP TESfS occupied the posi­tion of watchmaker in a large and

prosperous Jewelry store. He was a max. much envied by the clerk* in the atore, for, *» an expert, he demanded and received a generous salary. Tbe eieriai all spoke of bias, however, aa - O k Fena.- aad, because they had-Iktle la common with him* they regarded J&a aa A most traseeial being.

'That is good. We know few peo­ple here, «nd now I must go to meet Eilen."

"You are going to mcetr—her— now?"

"Yea.** "Well, ask her, Misa Lucy, to step

"Very well, J will. I am sorrj I can­not come back with her, but I hate' an engagement."

Mr. Fenn, with a sudden heartiness, grasped tbe slender gloved hand . ex­tended to him. "Good-by," he said. "You came in like the spring sun-shine.

How like she was to that other girl—Ellen—<<whom he had once known.

With a deep sigh he turned, from force of habit, to the watch before him.

"Goo* morning," he satdr courteous­ly, "can you tell me what the date is?"

T h e 15th of May," replied the one ad­dressed, somewhat surprised at this de­parture from -Mr, Fenn's usual rule.

"Thank you. It is, as I thought, my birthday."

There was a moment's pause before another spoke up, cheerfully:

"Many happy returns of the dav, sir!"

"Eh? O, thank yon. It is a long time since anyone wished me that," and so saying, Mr. Fenn passed on to his table in the corner, with his usual impassive mien.

"Poor old Fenn," the clerk said, com­passionately. "I dare say he is lonely."

As the morning wore away towards noon, a young woman entered the shop and approached Mr. Fenn's desk. He glanced up with his customary Jook of quiet attention, which charged sudden­ly to one of keen interest as be eagerly scanned the newcomer's face.

Ms this the watchmaker?" she asked. " * * Y e s , " _ ..•

"I have a watch here, which won't go. I wish you wothd' look it over and tell meWhat the trouble is."

With hands that shook Mr. Fenn took from her an old-fashioned silver watch.

"This is not yours?" he said. "No, my sister's." "Then I am right; you must belitt le

tated. "You don't remember me? Well,

"Mr. Fenn! * she cried. "You are not the Mr. Fenn I used.to call Uncle Ed?"

"Ves," he answered, smiling, sadly, "and your sister. Is she—well?"

Tbe interesting fact m btwugbi to the attention of the Pioneer Press by Eev. 8. W. DickJuson, agent for the Ameriean Bible society, that the first book ever printed in Minnesota was a Bible, and that this WM prlnud iu 1834» some 13 years before the issue of a newspaper in St. Paul, The Bible referred to was in the Ojibwsy. mngnage and was printed on the mis­sion press at Lake Pokegama, Pine county, under the supervision of Rev. Mr. Ayer, who lik'ivise had charge of the mission f s . u at that point. There also was made the first attempt to establish a free school in Minne­sota. The foundation, of the old tog church building in which.this was held can still be traced, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

It is trifittiftcont of the . eagerness characterising Ameriean Christianity that the edw«*ttaaal, social and com­mercial development of which Mlnne-aotana axe now so proud, had its be­ginning in the effort to put the Bible to the hands of the red men. The society represented by Mr. Dickinson —iwhteh is undoubtedly the greatest organisation in the world for the dis-tribntioa of the Sortptnrsa • ha» ftHed ita 8T years of history with many sack incidents as this of the setting up of * Bibfs press u the wilds of Minne­sota. It now proposes ta?g» andertak-tags la the new areas of the 'Ameri­can republic, in whten ft will doans-leaa have the enrdjal atngpsrt of all who beBeve in the heaeficeni hs-

This means that instead of selling cot-toa at from five to fight cents a pound the south is selHng It, as a manufac­tured product, at from IStotocenUa pound.

This b a davetopineni unoat aataral lines.. The south that produoss the out-ton will uhinuteiy mannfaetntwit. It has cheap water power, cheap labor and the adjacency of the cotton nsMs to stimulate its industry. .And oader mod­em conditions of travel and tovast-meat there is abaolutsljr no reason why the south should not take to itself the stupendous profits of cotton manufac­ture hitherto absorbed fcy Ifew England and the English mills.
