Why, I haven't worn satin slippers or danced for an age. And I fancy I almost dropped a tear over the pretty, foolish things. What do you think of that, and I a practicing physician for nearly four years?" "You are a physician, then? You took your degree?" he queried gently, refusing to notice either the palpable and defiant challenge of her manner or •the.interrogation with which she ended her unstudied confession, and quite un­ mindful of the fact that he was perfect- , ly aware of her professional status and £ould even have named the date and place of her graduation. _"Well, well!

She was too pure and in­ nocent to see anything but good, dear little saint. It is not often that one sees or knows such a perfect woman as she would have made, it have never met with such another,"' he finished. The girl--she was nothing but a girl still, in spite of <lier 27 years and her physician's diploma--looked down at her hands in silence as the roast was served, and his glance followed hers. They were beautiful', hinds, smooth, white and well shaped, but--the girl of whom they had been' speaking pos­ sessed hands like those of a little child, and he missed the rosy dimples which used to crowh the juncture of each slender finger with the dainty palm. Perhaps the woman beside him divined and resented it. At all events she with­ drew the altered hands into her lap and faced him with all the tender softness of the last few moments banished, and with the newer air showing forth again. "She must have been delightful in­ deed. I am glad to have had the privi­ lege of knowing her," she exclaimed sarcastically, "even if, at the time of our acquaintance, I did not realize one- tenth of the loveliness and saintliness which she possessed. But unfortu­ nately," her voice growing harder and colder as she went on, and the profes­ sional smile appearing brilliantly again, "like all the other paragons and saints, she is dead. And in her place," she continued with a defiant air, "you be­ hold Dr. Helen Winston.". He bowed ceremoniously, and as though to anew acquaintance; she col­ ored indignantly. "Not that I allow my professional title to be used upon social occasions," she hastened to add. She was talking rapidly to cover the emotion which she could not entirely repress: "It is sel­ dom, indeed, that I am obliged to con­ sider that side of the question at all. I go Into society very little^ I am here to-night because Airs. Dudley is such an old and valued friend that she claims the rigjht of refusing to take 'no' for an answer to her kindly pressfed in­ vitations dhce in a wlille. It is only upon rare occasions that I drop my workaday namejind attire for a few hours, and become somewhat of a but­ terfly again. For the girl, you know, who loved social festivities so dearly" --dropping a little of her defiant man­ ner and ceasing to talk against time as her cheeks grew colder--"is dead." He did not reply, and there was si- lence^, between them for some time. The dessett had "been nearly disposed of before ii'e broke it.', ' •'Do you believe in'the resurrection of the dead?" lie .then asked, with a suddenness puqicfieiy startling; and the girl supposed to be so long buried rose up unmistakably in her eyes as they turned/swiftly and full of unshed ^ears upoii'h)m. . ,'... "What?" >slie grasped, in breathless astonishment. "What do you mean?" Then siie'bushed with anger. "Not in this life," she cried, with sharp emphasis; but lie saw, or fancied he saw, 'the trace of. a tear on the bright cheek nearest to him, and was in no wise daunted by her wrathful and chilling manner. "Have you ever," he persisted, watch­ ing her with keen scrutiny as he spoke, 1 "in the courae of your professional and scientific -observations, come across such a thing as a Case of suspended animation or supposed death?" , And this time he was certain that the Vivid blush which reminded him so • Irresistibly of the girl wliom they had been discussing was accompanied by a tear. He saw it fall from her cheek to the napkin^in her lap; land his heart leaped for joy. But her reply was long In coming, and the rising signal of the hostess, given just as she struggled for words in which to frame it, saved her from the necessity of making it at all. He held the door open for her to pass through in silence, noticing, as he did so, the long richly colored velvet robje, so exceedingly unlike the fluffy white­ ness of that other girl's holiday attire-- and In another moment repeating his unanswered,question to himself, as he made his way back to the table. Possibly, however, lie propounded It again later in tlie^evening with better success. Anyhow, early the next morn­ ing, the chum who shared his confi­ dence and his apartments found him dreaming over a cigar with- a smile so blissfully happy that he yielded, for once, to a most unmascullne curiosity. "So you took Dr. Winston out to din­ ner?" he remarked. "And what, I wonder, did you And to talk about?" The other smiled again; his voice,: too, was strangely tender and youth­ ful as he made reply. "She told me how completely dead her old I self--the self that I used to know--was," he answered, "and I-- agreed with her." • - The listener gave an exclamation of impatience. . "Well!" he ejaculated, "I must say that you chose an exhilarating subject for conversation, after all those years. And I must say, too, that for a man ENGLAND'S PERFIDY. Bismarck Says a Few Things About British Hypocrisy. Although the Bismarck interview, with -the interviewer seems to be a thing of the past, the visitors who see the old Chancellor in his Friedrlchs- ruhe home nowadays come away In­ variably with interesting batches of his table talk on politics, diplomacy, his big pipe, his career and his fam­ ily. The man toward whom he feels most bitterly just now Is Joseph Chamberlain. In _a recent discussion of South. African affairs he applied some carefully selected Invective to the Birmingham politician who admin­ isters the London colonial office. "In general," he remarked, after closing the subject of Chamberlain, "It is noteworthy what a difference there is between the character and conduct of the Englishman in--private life and those of the Englishman in politics. The Englishman in private life is re­ spectable and trustworthy. To give him the lie is the worst insult you can bffer him. As a politician and diplo­ matist^ however; he is at the Other ex­ treme. English diplomacy lacks in every respect the characteristics of English private life. Its most striking, characteristic is its hypocrisy. It uses all the means which the individual de- spises. " "In France, of course, they have dot been always very choice of the means they adopted to a diplomatic end; for instance, in their policy toward weak tribes and peoples abroad they have been as criiel and brutal as the Eng­ lish; violence and treachery have been part of their policy now and then, just as with the English. However, no­ body can contend that French diplo­ macy is so permeated with incredible hypocrisy and perfidy as is the Eng­ lish." Bismarck seems to think that the Turks are comparatively respectable. He called them recently "the lone gentlemen of the Orient." The rest of the people in their part of the world he described ns "more or less demoral­ ized and politically untrustworthy." Returning to the subject of Central European politics the Prince said: "It makes me sad when I see things going badly for us, but, I cannot do anything. At .all events, I find it pleas­ ant now and thein when I read of this or that complication, to think I am not responsible for it. "Of course, it would be impossible for me to. give advice in most cases, sup­ posing I were asked to give it, because I would not be able to watch officially over the execution of it. Politics is more art than science; it cannot be taught; a man must be born to it. The best advice amounts to nothing if it is not carried out properly to fit the circumstances. It is the same as in riding. Call out to a man on horse­ back the best advice in the world, yet *•** U ~ Unr. i. {i.

Referring to the Russo-German neu­ trality treaty, which existed contem­ poraneously with the Triple Alliance, the old Chancellor said: "Of course it was complicated--all politics are complicated, for that mat-, ter. The old Emperor used to say to me occasionally: " 'Whew! I would not care to be in your skin. Sometimes you seem to me like the rider who, while sitting his -horse, tosses and catches five balls without letting one of them fall.' " Humor and Its Uses. Humor is the very sunshine of the world. Hardly any other single gift will >50 so far to refresh and inspire one in every-day Life and keep the heart still young. It steals merrily across the workaday world, animating the dreari­ est monotony and, finding place in the most hopeless destiny. Sucli a gay trav­ eling companion Is humor for the pil­ grimage of life! The woman with a sense of humor lias a safeguard against ennui, against folly and against despair. She can nev­ er be dull so long as the comedy of life is being played before her eyes; with a keen sense of the ridiculous she is not likely to "make a fool of herself;" and she will never be hopelessly unhappy, for she will find in the most adverse fate something still to laugh at; and af­ ter all laughter is your time alchemist. Howevfc' it may be with the unmusic­ al person, surely the surly individual who cannot laugh spontaneously on ac- casions is "fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils." But this blessed gift of humor should be used to lift the shadows of life, not to deepen them. A joke which causes another a pang of humiliation or makes some sensitive heart ache is not only a cruel sort of amusement, but it is also a very expensive indulgence. For just a moment's gratification at having made a "hit" the "funny woman" may forever lose a friend, and may even arouse a very genuine spirit of enmity. We learn to forgive, and maybe forget, many injuries in life's troubled jour­ ney, but perhaps among the wounds that rankle longest in the human heart are those which are made "only in £un."--Woman's Home Companion. Evading the Law. The London Telegraph tells a story of a collier who amuses himself with flying pigeons. He had occasion to go to town recently, and took with him a bird iu a bag. He was about to toss up the pigeon in the town hall square when a policeman came up and told . him that he must not fly the bird there. "Why not?", asked the collier. "Because it is forbidden, and I shall have to lock you up If you do." The collier, with the usual sharpness of his kind, thereupon took the.pigeon out of the bag, set It on the ground, stroked its wing, and said to it: "Aw corn'd toss thee up here, so thou mun walk wlioain; dost yer? thou mun walk whoam." The bird, of course, rose in the air, leaving the policeman petrified with astonishment. A little way, my dearie.

Appleton's Popular Science Monthly for January Will contain an instructive article on "Science and Morals" by the eminent French chemist, M. P. E. Berthelot. M. Berthelqt contends that, morals have grown out of;science, andf*" that, instead of their being based on religion, the latter is really the out­ growth of an ethical theory built up un­ consciously from scientific data. Reginald do Koven discusses in Scrlbner's "Some Tendencies of Mod­ ern Opera," and asks the following questions: "Are not the operatic com­ posers of the day imitators almost to the extent of plagiarism? Are we not, indeed, getting 'Wagnerism,' Wagner at second hand usque ad nauseam? Are there not two perils, stagnation and re­ action, which lie in wait for us? And does it not appear more than probable that between the two opera is likely to come to a considerable amount of grief?" The Hottom of the Deep Sea. Tile bottom of the deep sea Is, indeed, entirely screened from the warmth and light of the sun by the intervening mass of water. On land we often ex­ perience that the intervention , of clouds, which are simply steam or di­ vided masses of water, results in gloom and a fall of temperature. This effect is infinitely more intense at the bottom of the ocean, between which and the sun there is Interposed, not only for a day of two, a layer of cloud, but for­ ever a volume of water, often several miles thick. ^ Even at fifteen fathoms from the sur- face the light is much subdued, produc­ ing more the appearance of pale moon­ light than of sunlignt, and experiments made with very sensitive photographic plates in the clear water of the Lake of Geneva have shown that sunlight does not penetrate to a greater depth there than one hundred and fifty-five fathoms. In the ocean and in the trop­ ics, where sunshine is most intense, no light penetrates beyond a depth of two hundred fathoms. Below this all :s dark. The sun's lieat, like the light, is also cut off from the ocean depths in the same manner. In the Bay of Bengal there is a fall of temperature amount­ ing to about one degree Fahr. for ev­ ery ten fathoms from the surface that the thermometer,sinks. At two hun­ dred fatiionis the thermometer stands all the year round at fifty-five degrees Fahr., and at two thousand fathoms it constantly registers about thirty-five degrees Fahr., or close upon freezing point. It is curious to note that as we rise in the air, in balloons or on moun­ tain slopes, the temperature falls as we rise, and the same? occurs 'as, we dive into the depths of the ocean. But in mines the heat increases as we de­ scend. V\"hi., " "•'* JENNIE JUNE," recently appoint­ed public school inspector of New York, is the dean of the newspa­ per women of the metropolis.

Untamed nature thinks only of the perpetuation of its species. The wild plants of field and forest, luxuriating in the warming rays of the summer sun, extract from the soil the nourish^- ment and vitality essential to the com­ pletion of their little round of life; amjl then, having passed through tireiir short cycle of existence, from the bursting bud to the ripened fruit, they droop and die. The mysterious opera­ tion of growth and death is repeated season by season, and one generation is but a reduplication of all others, modified slightly by peculiar conditions of soil and climate. The pattern of na­ ture is spread out with glorious possi­ bilities, but the individual efforts of the plants to raise themselves above their kind are abortive. Their hopes are blast­ ed in the bud, flower or fruit; the limi­ tations imposed upon them prove insur­ mountable barriers. Improvement and progressive devel­ opment begin with man. The strug­ gling plant that has outstripped its kind and stands on the verge of decay, knowing that it will be replaced the following season by another whose fee­ ble growth may neutralize all the good that it has accomplished, suddenly fiuds itself lifted to more congenial sur­ roundings. The mere struggle for a precarious existence instantly ceases to absorb all its strength and powers. The arbitrary laws of nature can no longer limit development and expan­ sion, and the plant has leisure and op­ portunity to cultivate the beauties and refinements of a new life. The flowers take on a fairer and more delicate hue, improving in size and beauty by slow magical processes; the foliage intensifies in strength and color to form a fitting background for the blossoms, and the maturing fruits develop a sweetness and lusciousuess heretofore existent only in a potential state. The plants slowly differentiate from their kind, assuming the appear­ ances and characteristics of a new or­ der, retaining, however, enough of the blood of their ancestors to drag them down to the level of their old primal stock if once freed from man's control and left to their natural selection.--Lip- pincott's. The Mosquito's Sting. The bill of a mosquito is a complex institution. It has a blunt fork at the head, and is apparently grooved. Work­ ing through the groove, and projecting from the angle of the fork, is a lance of perfect form, sharpened with a fine bevel. On either side of the lance two -saws are arranged, with their points fine and sharp, and the teeth well de­ fined and keen. The backs of these saws play against the lance. When the mosquito alights, with its peculiar hum, it thrusts its keen lance, and then enlarges the aperturte with the two saws, which play beside the lance un­ til the forked bill, with its capiliary ar­ rangement for pumping blood, can be inserted. The sawing process is what grates upon the nerves of the victim, and causes him to strike wildly at the sawyer. Human Nature.

Don't claim that the children in­ herited all their bad qualities from their father and all their good ones from you.--Household. She Wanted a Synonym. An American girl who recently stud­ ied in Germany tells of a German girl who was studying English, and who used to write letters in English to her parents. One day the German girl handed a letter to her saying: "Here is the .letter which 1 have written to my mother. I want you to read it over and see if it sis properly written." The let­ ter was all right, excepting the closing phrase, which read as follows: "God pickle and kelep you." An investigation proved that the young German Woman In looking for a synonym for "preserve" had come across "pickle." Scrubs Kitchen Floors.

There is an extra­ ordinary but quite true story of an In­ dian tiger that fled from the barkihg and springing of a little spaniel. The little dog merely exhibited the impu­ dence habitual to his kind, and there is no doubt that the tiger was simply seized with an attabk. of nervousness. Two Indian rhinoceroses kept by a rajah for fighting in the arena exhibit­ ed the most obstinate courage, in com­ bats with elephants or buffalo, yet would tremble and lie down at the un­ usual sight of a horse outside their- pen. The elephant is more subject to alarms and foolish panics than any other animal. It is strange to think of the same animal advancing' boldly to face a wounded tiger, and receiving Its Charge upon its tusks, and running, away in uncontrollable panic from a piece of newspaper blown across the road. A big elephant,.which was employed to drag away the carcass of a dead bul­ lock and had allowed the burden to be attached by ropes without observing what it was, happened to look round, and instantly boltedl its flight increas­ ing every, instant as the unknown ob­ ject bumped and jumped at its heels. After running some miles like a dog with a tin can tied to its tail, the great brute stopped, quietly allowed itself to be turned round and drew the mangled bullock back again without protest.

In all cases of embroidery on linen the work should be carefully pressed when finished, and it is important for every embroiderer to know how this may be done in the simplest and safest manner. . . . The proper way to press the finished work is to lay the embroid­ ery face down on a clean cloth spread over an ironing blanket or two or three thicknesses of flannel: place a thin, dampened cloth on ths back of the arti­ cle to be pressed, and then use n h°t Iron deftly on the wet surface until it is perfectly dry. A steaming process is thus engendered, whereby theambroid- ered linen is rendered smooth and the effectiveness of the work much enhanc­ ed.--Woman's Home Companion. No Prison.
