Money to Loan. Blnck, Opposite the W. F. Dlrxx In her heart the princess preferred, upon proper occasions, such as this, to abate her dignity. and often requested others. to dispense with ceremony, as in fact she had done with us earlier in the evening. lint Brandon’s easy manner, although perfectly respectful and ele- gantly polite, was very different from anything she had ever known. She enjoyed it, but every now and then the sense of her importance and dignityâ€" for you must remember she was the first princess of the blood royal-would supersede even her love of enjoyment, and the girl went down and the prin- cess came up. Besides, she half feared that Brandon was amusing himself at her expense. and that in fact this was a new sort of masculine worm. Really she smnetimes doubted if it were a \vnrxn at ail, and did not know What to “pect 1101' what She ought to (10. “Oh, yes; you may hope. I tell you frankly it was delightful with you. Now, are you satisfied, my modest one? Jane, I see we have a forward body here. No telling what he will be at next,” said Mary, with evident impa- tience, rapidly swaying her fan. She spoke almost sharply, for Brandon’s attitude was more that of an equal than she was accustomed to, and her royal dignity, which was the artificial part of her, rebelled against it now and then in spite of her real inclinations. The habit of receiving only adulation and living on a pinnacle above every- body else was so strong from continued practice that it appealed to her as a duty to maintain that elevation. She had never before been called upon to exert herself in that direction, and the situation was new. The servile ones with whom she usually associated maintained it for her; so she now felt, whenever she thought of it, that she was in duty hound to clamber back, at least part of the way, to her dignity, however pleasant it was personally down h ~low in the denser atmosphere of informality. The Great Actor's Art and m. Wife’u liufllecl Feelings. .\Ir9.(;.irr1ti\ s admiration of her hus- bands diainatie talents was intense, and on his great nights she would hang over her box, next the stage, in rap- turous delight. The one flaw. in her idol, she. claimed, was a taste for low life, for which she blamed him greatly, insisting that he loved better to play Scrub to a low lived audience than one of his superior characters before an audienee of taste. On one particular occasion she was in hcr box in the thcatcr win-n (:ar- rick’s impersonation of Richard Ill. was applauded to the echo. In that day a farce followed the tragedy of the evening. and as Mrs. Garrick rose to leave before it her husband came to the box to say he had some businvrzs in the greenroom which would detain him. so most unwillingly the lady was obliged to acquiesce and remain through the closing entertainment. This proved to he a comical series of hlundering adventures which had he- t'allen a countryman who had left his farm to see London and on his return gave his neighbors an account of the wonders he had met. This characterization was received with such peals of applause that Mrs. Garrick. ever zealous of her husband's fame, began to think it rivaled those lately lavished on Richard III. IIcr feelings were nearly worked up to te- ver heat when she was attracted by the frantic eflorts of her little spaniel dog to overleap the balcony that sepa- rated him from the stage. when she immediately became aware of the truth that the actor was Garrick and ex- claimed. “Strange that a dog should knowfiis master when the woman who loved him best in the world could not “Dare I hope ?” he asked, with 3 def- erential bow. pierce his disguise.” This only made matters worse and gave Brandon an opportunity. After a time the dancers stopped, and Mary, with flushed face and sparkling eyes, sank into a chair, exclaimlng: “The new dance is delightful, Jane. It is like flying, your partner helps you so. But what would the king sayâ€"and the queen? She would simply swoon with horror. It is delightful, though.” Then, with more confusion in her manner than I had ever before seen, “That is, it is delightful if one chooses her part- ner.” Once he said something to her in a low voice. which brought a flush to her cheeks and caused her to glance quick. ly up into his face. By the time her answer came they were nearer us, and I heard her say: “I am afraid I shall have to forgive you again if you are not careful. Let me see an exhibition of that modesty you so much boast.” But a smile and a flash of the eyes went with the words and took all the sting out of them. This dance was livelier exercise than La Gaiiiard, and Mary could not talk much for lack of breath. Brandon kept the conversation going. though. and she answered with glances, smiles, nods and monosyliables. a very good vocab- ulary in its way, and a very good way. too. for that matter. June, of course, did not know, so we all laughed, as usual, upon the slightest pretext, and Mary, that fair bundle of contradictions and quick transitions, stepped boldly up to Bran- don, with her colors flying in her cheeks, ready for the first lesson in the new dance. She was a little frightened at his arm around her waist. for the embrace was new to herâ€"the first touch of manâ€"and was shy and coy, though willing, being determined to learn the dance. She was an apt pupil and soon glided soft- ly and graciously around the room with unfeigned delight, yielding to the new situation more easily as she became accustomed to it. DAVID GARRICK. [To BE CONTINUED.) We only dream sights and sounds. We never dream tastes 0r snwlls If we dream of a flower garden. we see the flowers. but do not smell them. If we dream of a dinner. we see the dish- I GI. but do not taste them. Human beings and monkeys see most things with both eyes. Our whole field of vision extends over 180 degrees or half a circle. The middle half of this we see with both eyes together, but the quarter at each side is seen only with one eye. All other animals see most things with one eye only. Scarcely ever can they fix both eyes on anything at the same time. But there are considerable variations. A bulldog, for instance. somowhat closely approaches the con- dition of a monkey. The larger the pu- pil the greater the quantity of light “mm (enters the eye. Large pupilod people. ther.eforv see the world in :1 brighter and more cheerful state than those with small pupils. They can see things better in the.- dusk or at night. Separate parts. In some mysterious manner the rods. with other things. are tuned to different notes. and when they vil.r:ile they came the hairs to trans- mit an impulse to the nerve of hearing. To be musical. therefore. is to have a gem] organ of Corti. The ear is a deceptive organ. and it is often a matter of guesswork to tell whence it sound comes. Indeed. if you place the open hands in front of your ears mu] curve them bzui-kward sounds produeed in front will appear to come from behind. The organ of hearing is one of the most marvelous pieces of mechanism in the body. In animals the external ear acts as a trumpet to collect the sound waves; in man it is little more than an ornament. but the internal ear is alike in both. So wonderful is its construction that we can distinguish sounds varying from forty to 4.000 vi- brations per second. This feat is per- formed by a portion of the ear called the organ of Corti. What a wonderful organ that is may be understmid from the fact that it consists of 5,000 pieces of apparatus, each piece being' made 111» of two rods. one inner hair cell and 6)- l'nnr outer hair cellsâ€"that is. 0.).000 Why is it that scratching a piece of glass with metal causes such an un. piuusnnt sound? Because it is what is called the fundamental tone of the car, which is very high. What the funda- mental tone exactly is would take too nmvh space to exliiain, but if you blow As every om.- knows from the optical illusion pictures. the eyes are easily deceived.

Touch really includes several senses, Thus there are spots on the skin which feel heat only. spots which feel only cold. spots which l'eel only pain, spots which feel only pressure and spots which feel tickling. These spots are supplied with nerves capable of doing only one particular duty. The sensa- tions of the skin are grouped by physi- ologists into three kinds-touch. pain and temperature. The skin which cov- ers a scar has only one kind of sensa- tion. It can feel neither pressure (touch properi nor temperature. but perceives pain very acutely. The tongue is the most sensitive of all parts to touch. the forehead and elbow to heat or cold. But smell is a sense highly suscep- tible of cultivation even by the modern white man. Dealers in tea, spices. per- fumes and drugs, in consequence of their training, can distinguish the faintest differences in odors. While we taste liquids. we can smell only gases. Fill your nostrils with eau de cologne, and you will experience no odor whatever. Fine as our sense of smell is, it has deteriorated immensely since the time when our forefathers were .wild men. The Caimucks can smell an encampment twenty miles away; the Peruvians can distinguish all the South American races by their odor. Smell, though the least useful, is the most delicate of all our senses. We can smell the three-hundred-millionth part of a grain of musk. No chemical analysis can detect such minute quan- tities. The most powerful microscope would not render a particle ten thou- sand times as large visible. We could not taste it were it many thousand times as large. MEN’S FIVE SENSES. We can only taste things in solu- tion; hence it the tongue were perfect- ly dry it would not be affected by the strongest flavored substance in a dry state. The taste nerves are paralyzed by very hot or very cold liquids. After drinking very hot or ice cold water we could not taste even such a sub. stance as quinine. This fact supplies a useful hint for consumers of ill fla- vored medicines. The long named substance parabrom- benzoic sulphinide produces a most re- markable effect, for it gives a sense of sweetness to the point of the tongue and of bitterness to the back. Pure water tastes sweet after sulphate of magnesia. The Nerve. of Taste Are Paralyzed by Either Very Hot or Very Cold Liquidsâ€"The Ear la a Wonderful Organâ€"The Eyes Easily Deeelved. For some unknown reason different parts of the tongue are assigned for the perception of different tastes. With the tip we taste sweet substances and salts, with the back we taste bitter things and with the sides we taste acids. The middle part of the tougue’s surface has scarcely any sense of taste at all. CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT THEM NOT GENERALLY KNOWN. Wanted to "Realize.” Three-year-old Julia wanted to write Santa Claus to bring her a “Shoat gun.” When asked what she wanted it for, she said: “I want to shoot one of papa’s cattle and got the money out of it, for papa says there is money in cattle.” Moon: In the Solar System. There are at least twenty moons in the solar system. Saturn alone has eight, the biggest nl' them.

The debt was perfectly square. but I had no docu- mentary evidence on which to base a suit, so I decided to he foxy and secure such proof. The Whale’s Appetite. A whale’s appetite is phenomenal. His chief diet consists of jellyfish. He has simply to open his mouth and pad- dle along leisurely in order to take in jellyfish by the wagon load. Such is the method adopted by the whalebone whale. The sperm whale, on the con- trary, captures huge squids weighing often several tons. Like his brother the whalebone whale, he must be con- stantly on the lookout for food; other- wise he would starve. As many as fourteen seals have been taken from a thirty foot “killer.” Other fishes of enormous appetites are not uncommon. The blueflsh, for example, thrives on sardines and other small fish. Assum- ing that one blueflsh eats ten small fish a day, it has been figured that it re- quires ]0,000.000.000 sardines to feed the 1,000,000,000 lilueflsh on our coasts every summer. Most curious of all eaters is the hydraâ€"a strange creature that ean be turned inside out without inumiring its appetite or its power to eat. A Mistake That Paid. Mistakes made on purpose are some- times profitable. and a New York mer- chant illustrates it thus: Like the roads of the old Romans, these footpaths run straight on through everything, ridge and mountain and valley, never shying at obstacles, nor anywhere turning aside to breathe. Yet within this general straightfor- wardness are a singular eccentricity and an indirectness of detail. And the reason is not far to seek. If a stone is encountered, no native will ever think of removing it; he simply walks around it. It would never occur to him that that stone was a displaceable ob- ject and that for the general weal he might displace it. Path. In Attica. It may be a surprise to the unen- lightened to learn that probably no ex- plorer, in forcing his passage through Africa, has ever for more than a few days at a time been on some beaten track. Every village is connected with some other village, every tribe with the next tribe, every state with its neigh- bor and therefore with all the rest. The explorer’s business is simply to select from this network of trackS. keep a general direction and hold on his way. They are veritable foot- paths. never over a foot in breadth, beaten hard and netted beneath the level of the forest bed of centuries of native traffic. N EW Pumps AND REPAIRS.
