"tot really," MQrs.ltarchmont declared, "one •oaetfWM ittet the most* charming people at these quiet resorts." . Truth to tell, Mrs. Marchmont had we good Bense to know that she couldn't be much in a pond of exten­ sive dimensions and that she was something of a big frog in the little puddles; so she stuck to shallow waters. However, when Honore de­ veloped such astonishing beauty and {popularity, Mrs. Marchmont had wan­ dered farther up the coast where the -waves ran high and where one came to contact with such people as the Her­ bert Van Alstynes' and the Mamilton- Wares' and it seemed to Mrs. March­ mont that she was almost about to reach the goal on the upper landing of thestair. Everything depended on Honore now --"Honore. with ner superb bearing and :;0ur Titian hair and her always abso­ lute correctness. Mrs. Marchmont was very proud of Honore; she had always been a dutiful daughter, even from the time when she was a little girl and sat propped up in bed reading novels and eating chocolates and things until her mother came in from a dance or a theater. But lately Mrs. Marchmont hadn't known quite what to make of Honore. Not that she was any the less devoted or attentive to her mother, but she seemed to be developing new ideas not strictly in accordance with those of her mother. For instance, the night alter the hop at the Creeton's, at which event the Herbert Van Als- tynes' and the Hamilton-Wares' had actually asked Mrs. Marchmont to sit /With them on the gallery and the ugly Ijfttle foreign count had danced three times) With Honore, Mrs. Marchmont playfully alluded to herself as the Mother of a possible countess, Honore vlfcd thrown herself into her mother's <*rms, and, bursting into tears, begged tier to go away--anywhere--she would ||ork, and they jtwo would be so happy, iving up all this tawdry sham and » "X • <&• •*; UK J <t fX T* She was so tired of It all. make-believe. She was so tired of it all! It would seem so good to have a lit­ tle home--just one little room, and to make it bright and happy; she was so tired of ruffles and silk skirts bought after months of scrimping and hoard­ ing their little income; she had never had a home; a real, real home like other girls. It had just been roving and pretending ever since she could remember, Mrs. Marchmont, too, began to weep, and to cast sell-accusations, to quote the threadbare verse about a "thankless child," and went to bed with a case of nervous hysteria. After this all blew over Mrs. Marchmont and Honore resumed their usual relations, and, except for a tired, weary look in her eyes, Honore was the same dear girl she had ever been. From this time on the attentions of the Count became more and mora marked. He was not a pleasant man to look upon, but around him there shone the halo of a titled name and ancestral halls. Mrs. Marchmont be- fun to patronise the Herbert Van Als­ tynes' and the Hamilton-Wares' were! spoken of by her as "really very clever lieople, don't you know." She dwelt ih the glaring light of titular fame; she had passed the upper landing and was making her way to the dome. But one thing marred the sunny glory of her little day. It was the other man! The other man, James Howard, who laid at the feet of Honore only the cpronet of a glorious manhood, a great tyain find a greater heart; a big, broad-shouldered fellow with clean-cut features and eyes tlmt looked straight Into those of his fellow men and women unflinchingly, and whose only offering was the gift of a great love. The few weeks at the seashore was a terrible strain on Mrs. Marchmont's purse strings and she was obliged to retrench. So, with the aid of the Count, who followed them very soon, she, with Honore took rooms at a little hotel far Hp in the hills. For days Honore was almost happy, riding every morning up among the fresh, fragrant hills. She grew to love a little house that lay on her way and one morning as she passed, a woman came down the little trodden path between the riotous growth of hollyhocks and larkspur and met a man at the gate. She seemed a young woman, a woman not very fair or beautiful, but with an earnest, happy face that m&de Honore look for her each morning Somehow or other that man re­ minded her of Jim, with his strength and vigor, and then she tried to fancy that she was the girl, and that she came down the path to meet him, and she. wondered if all the blase and sparkle of a title would be worth the glory in Jim's eyes? All day long there lingered < in Honore Marchmont's memory the picture at the gate. The little path of trodden earth that led from the door­ way through the dew-wet, swaying hollyhoeks to the gate beyond, tad at the gats, the woman in the bine print mm or fl»wltk W& en- treatlas tit her mother In h«r ears and ilittirtelMr hoeomtromthe man she loved, Honore spurred her horse on towiii the hills. It was jost dusk when the horse stumbled along the dusty lane, now through the somber wood. There were only the wands of the night to be tugird. The tow cry of a lata Wrd, the muffled lowing of distant cattle, the strumming bass of a bullfrog by the stream and the lighter melody of a locust's trill. A covey of birds, fright­ ened by the passer, flew With a whirr of brown wings into a hedge by the ro&dslde, a fluttering bat went blindly by and the dark range of forest trees stood silhouetted against the flushed western sky. She came again to the little house she had passed In the morning and the girl was waiting at the gate. Honore reined her horse and spoke quickly: "1 saw you here this morn­ ing--I hoped you would be here when I came tonight, I wanted to speak with you." She hesitated.. "Was that man at the gate--this morning--was he your lover?" The girl peered up into the Alt* above her and answered "yea," "Was he--do you love hi-*--^are you happy?" The girl at the gate came closer and laid her hand on the bridle rein. "1 know what you want--1 knew this morning--1 wanted you to come back. You are Miss Marchmont at the hotel over there," she nodded her head to­ ward the lower range of hills. "I saw you that day when you rode past with the two of them--that little, black Count and the man that looks like my Jim." "Jim!" uttered Miss Marchmont breathlessly, "is his name Jim, too?" "Yes, Jim--Jim Wataon," the girl: went on, peering up Into the face that bent down over her. "I've watched you, toh, so often. I was sorry when he went away and the other one staid,. I just knew you couldn't love him, but I was afraid for you. Let me tell you jtbotat myself and then you'll knOw, you'll understand. I've lived here all my life," she went on in a quiet, passionless voice. "1 was born in that little room there, where we cook and eat and sleep, and when I was a little thing no higher than your knee, Jim and me played to­ gether, and he carried me over the stony places in the mountains and brought me the first arbutus and the finest trout and quail and all the sim­ ple gifts of these woods of ours. When I was seventeen I went to work at the hotel, and I saw the other girls over there, who, like you, had come to spend the summer, and I envied their dresses, swishing with ailk and their white hands heavled with rings, and when I would come home after my work was over, I hated this poor little path and I loathed the one crowded room and spurned the flowers with my feet and Jim--poor Jim--I broke his heart, "1 used to sing, and one day at my work, a lady heard me. She called me to her; she made me sing again and again; she showered me with praises and flattery--and I believed her. I went away. I worked and studied and sang and the world was good to me. Maybe it was one year--maybe two--but one morning I awoke and my mouth yearned for the taste of new milk, and my eyes ached for the mountains and the streams and the hollyhocks and my heart hungered for love; love, for which all the wealth and fame and power in the world will not com­ pensate; enough; I came home--and here I am--and here is Jim--and here alone is happiness." She ceaseu Bpeakiilg, 6ou the girl on the horse bent down and kissed the straight white part where the brown hair rippled away on either aide the woman's head. : "Goodnight," she said softly.

"W* shall do all we can," the uuctors warn-** her, "to prevent your entering." But she and her sisters each won a conspicu­ ous success. Augusta Kiumpke, now wife of Dr. Dejerine, practices medi­ cine in Paris, and is a collaborates of her distinguished husband In science and In authorship. Anna Kiumpke, the oldest sister, studied art, became the Intimate Meed of Marie Bashkirtseff, and later of Rosa Bonheur, whose portrait she painted --a portrait which now may be seen in the Luxembourg where only the best of contemporary art is admitted. Anna Kiumpke now resides a part of the time at the Chateau de By, which was Rosa Bonheur's home near Fon- tainbleau. Julia Kiumpke, tW,ypungest daugh­ ter, is a devoted vldlmlst, a promising pupil of Ysaye. But it is the third Bister, Dorothea Kiumpke, whose portrait we print, whose work is perhaps farthest from the ordinary vocations of women, in a recent issue the Express printed this Hiii';glvea|i of the balloon work.

They aacendedi 3,900 feet. Miss Klumpke's experimental are said to have been Immensely valu­ able." * An article on "The Kiumpke Sisters" in the September Critic gives an in­ teresting review of Dorothea Klump­ ke's career, which it says has been even more remarkable than those of her sisters. She passed the baccalau­ reate and successfully took all the ex­ aminations in science and mathematics, and then made application for admis­ sion to the Paris Observatory. Some German professor had given her as a child a small telescope, and with this, watching alone at night, she had seen sights which delighted her so that she often roused her sisters, begging them to come and share her pleasure. The directors of the observatory consulted the statutes; no woman hud hitherto proposed herself as a col­ league, but there was no rule oppos­ ing it, they themselves approved, and so they gave her a telescope to make her own observations, and after a tlau she completed the work begun by Mme. Kovulevska on the rings of Saturn, which she made the subject of ber the­ sis, and when she had become doctor of science she was given a decoration by the institute and made on Offidar de l'Academie. As soon as the Intsr- national Astronomical congress under­ took cataloguing all the stars as far as the fourteenth magnitude, a new de­ partment for the accomplishment of the French share of this vast undertaking was created at the Paris Observatory, and Dorothea Kiumpke was placed at the head of it, with four under assist­ ants. She had lived for thirteen year* in the quiet gardens of the observatory --whose main buildings present the austere aspect common to places for scientific research. Dark, draughty corridors wind about between high- ceilinged rooms with polished floors and unfurnished, but for a few his­ toric telescopes and the portraits of great astronomers; but under the min­ iature hill in the garden the American girl has given her rooms the appear­ ance of a home. She is slender, deli­ cate, and in her pale blue eyes there is a look of mystery communicated from the stars into whose light she gazed for so many years. The janitor and the gardener speak of her rev erently, and she is highly esteemed by the Astronomical Society of France, of which she is the only woman meni ber. She speaks and writes with equal force in English, French and German "Daily Mrs. Kiumpke unites her fam< ily of remarkable daughters, wb% though variously occupied during the day, dine with her in her small apart­ ment every evening--that she may then study the result of having given her children unlimited opportunity, and of having stimulated them to take ad­ vantage of it. Two of them guard the outposts of emancipation in France, one has glorified art and friendship dnd the fourth promises pleasure for the world." RSCORD OF HAPPRNINQS FOR 3EVEN DAYS.

But, as this might endanger life and limb, they decided it would b« Civilisation as a Beantlfler, Civilization, says the Ledger Month-:; ly, makes women more beautiful than all the barbaric arts and resources of primitive life, and it is because of a misconception of conditions that any ascribe to the habits of semi-civilized? people a cause of any special beauty, among their women. Primitive life is harder and more difficult for woman- - kind than that found in highly civilized, lands. The outdoor life of the former' does not entirely counterbalance the evils of unsanitary surroundings, hard, drudgery and lack of intellectual as-; sociations. It Is only modern civilized; nations that have given to woman her:; true place in the scheme of humanity. Her emancipation from servitude and unpleasant conditions have yielded more direct benefits than any other transformation of her existence,,, Health Officer* Have Troubles; Trouble is brewing in Frankfort," find., between the school-teachers ana the board of health.

Vanderbilt's fortune, amounted to $40,000,000 when he into his inheritance, is now plac< $50,000,000. The young man was born in N York in 1877, and was the third son Cornelius Vanderbilt, who died a year ago. His oldest brother, William, died while attending Yale, and his other brother, Cornelius, incurred his father's 111 will by marrying a girl whom the older Vanderbilt did not like. In this way the young man received the bulk of his father's property. He had gradu­ ated from Yale and was making a tour of the world when his father's death occurred. Up to the present he -has been extracting all the enjoyment pos­ sible from life, most of his time being better for him to begin In the general offices, and that to learn hour accounts are kept and the system of railroad bookkeeping was the best way to start.

A novel point has been decided in a St Clair county case. David S. Sage and wife were killed in & terrible storm which swept over the country four years ago. Their bodies were found lying side by side. They had one daughter, the only lineal heir. In a suit for a settlement of the estate the question arose as to which had died first. If Sage, then his wife's rel­ atives would be entitled to her award, consisting of dower and homestead. If his wife died first, then her relatives would be entitled to nothing, but the whole estate, amounting to about $10,- 000, would fall to Miss Mabel Sage, the daughter. There was no way of prov­ ing which had died first, and the court held that since woman physically is weaker than man, Mrs. Sage must have died first, and upon this hypothesis awarded the estate to the daughter.

The trough la filled with sand, and t& it the course of any river or section * thereof that it la desired to sspsrk ment with is accurately mapped to ft scale. The sand is variously eolored to represent the different formations through which the river flows, and dams, piers, breakwaters, dock% bridges, etc., are built so that an exact miniature representation of the stream is obtained. The water Is then turned on and regulated to flow precisely as It does in the real river. Certain other devices are also provided to catch the sand washed out of the trough, which can then be gathered up and measured and the amount of sand carried per cubic foot calculated. The operator* who in this case is Professor Engels, watches the effects of the flowing water on the banks and bottom of the stream, noting how the bars are be­ ing built up, where the channel is be­ ing deepened, where hollows are be­ ing filled, etc. He is thus enabled to determine from actual observation where engineering work should be done either for the advantage of navi­ gation or for the benefit of shore prop­ erty. In cases where any structure in the river may be under consideration it Is first built In miniature in the model and its effects In the way of causing washouts or silting up of other parts of the stream noted. In addition to the saving of expenditure jin the erection in rivers of what, from want of accurate knowledge, too often prove to be utterly futile structures for the purposes for which they were in­ tended, the special aim of the experi­ ments is to ascertain how to regulate river flows to the end that they will keep their own channels clear and deep enough without dredging. It Is thought that there is a great future for the work and that the time Is not far distant when all rivers will be reg­ ulated by the advice of river experts who have taken a course In one of these laboratories. Oft.A MON8TEWS POISON* *hw« Am People Who Claim Its Btto Is Harmless. 3. Van Denburgh and O. B. Wright give an account in the September num­ ber of the American Journal of Physi­ ology of their experiments "on the physiological action of the poisonous secretion of the Gila monster (Helo- derma suspectum). According to them the polsoii is in its effects similar to the venoms of snakes, respiration, heart activity, sensory irritability and rapidity of blood coagulation are all at first increased, then retarded. With a gradual total loss of function. The vaso-motor center is, however, not In­ volved in this quickening and subse­ quent paralysis. On the contrary, the polsen produces immediately a fall In blood pressure owing to vascular dila­ tation. The motor nerves are not a$* fected. The red blood corpuscles fre­ quently become spherical as the result of the poison and the blood may be laked. The secretion of urine is stop­ ped. Respiratory paralysis is the usual cause of death, but if artificial respiration is maintained death from heart failure. The polsonons character of the bite of these reptiles has for a long time been a matter of dispute. Accounts of death resulting to man from their wounds have been reported, but it has also been claimed by those who have looked Into the matter that these stories were mostly of doubtful authenticity and that oth­ ers quite as trustworthy showed the contrary *to the truth--namely, that the animal was harmless. Thcne ex­ perimenters, however, did not use as a-subject, and it may be that not­ withstanding the effect of the poison on other animals man may- for some reason be immune. Still, it is not ad­ visable to indulge In any frivolities with the creature, at least until more is known regarding it. The late Prof. E. D.
