As we were about to dis- perse I heard her say to Brandon: W me so easily and talk me into a good humor with her soft, purring ”Edwin!" I saw through it all quickly enough and left her without another won-d. In a few minutes she went into an adjoining room where I knew she was alone. The door was open, and the music could be heard there. so I followed. “You have greatly pleased the king by bringing him a new amusement. He asked me where I learned it, and I told him you had taught it to Casko- den and that I had it from him. I told Caskoden so that he can tell the same f‘It you allow another to teach you that dance,” I responded, “you will have seen the last of me.” She had made me angry, and I did not speak to her for more than a week. When I didâ€"but I will tell you of that later on. “Oh, but that is not true. Don’t you think you should have told him the truth or have evaded it in some way?" asked Brandon, who was really a great lover of the truth, “when possible,” but who, I fear, on this occasion wish- ed to appear more truthful than he really was. It a man is to a woman’s “My lady, there is no one to see us here. I can teach you now. it you wish, ” said I. She saw she was cornered, and re- plied, with a toes of her saucy little head, “But what it I do not wish?” Now, this was more than I could en. due with patience, so I answered, “My young lady, you shall ask me before I teach you.” “There are others who can dance it much better than you,” she returned. without looking at me. taste and she is inclined to him, he lays up great stores in her heart by making her think him good, and shame- ful impositions are often practiced to this end. Mary flushed a little and answered: “I can’t help it. You do not know. Had I told Henry that we four had enjoyed such a famous tlme in my rooms he would have been very angry, andâ€"andâ€"you might have been the sufferer.” “But might you not have compro- mised matters by going around the truth some way and leaving the im- pression that others were of the party that evening?” uuu-' ulsu‘ J vu ulna-a. u... v ‘- v.-- sufferer.” “But might you not have comproâ€"E mised matters by going around the -, truth some way and leaving the imfi presslon that others were of the party I that evening?” ‘_ That was a mistake, for it gave Mary I an opportunity to retaliate: “The best? way to go around the truth, as you call l it, is by a direct lie. My lie was no? worse than yours. But I did not stop L: to argue about such matters. There is ’. something else I wished to say. I want 1 to tell you that you have greatly ‘ pleased the king with the new dance. 3 Now teach him ‘honor and ruff’ and' your fortune is made.

It cannot be made from raw cotton in the hale; waste cotton is necessary for its manufacture. It seems as‘ if the bleaching to which manufac- ' tnred cotton has been subjected has Something to do with fitting the waste for becoming explosive material. Oily waste is, however. completely useless for making guncotton. and if even a little is carelessly used a whole batch of the manufactured product may be whnilml unmouon is so extraordinarily sud- den in its action that a small quantity has been exploded in contact with a heap of gunpowder and has failed to set tire to it. The great advantage which gnncotâ€" ton possesses over all other explosives is that damp does not injure it. in fact. wet guncotton explodes with just as great violence as dry, but is of course much harder to fire.

At the; present day the wealth of a Lamp is. calculated in reindeer. Thus. when the 1 people speak of a man’s estate they; I'vv‘râ€" say, “He is worth so many deer." Those who have only fifty or sixty head are poor servants, and their deer are put with those of their “betters.” To have any kind of social standing in Lapland one should possess at least 500 of these animals. A Lapp is considered well off when he is the happy owner of not less than 1,000 reindeer. A Couple 0! BIND.

At the premises of an English com- pany there occurred some time ago a disastrous fire which completely gutted an enormous building and caused losses aggregating $500,000. The fire was at- tributed to an explosion of malt. "Owâ€"vvâ€" __ Any flue inflammable dust when mixed with a certain proportion of dry air will explode. There was a previous similar accident in a New York candy manufactory. A terrific explosion which wrecked the entire building was discovered to be due to the fact that particles of fine icing sugar had been allowed to invade the room where the furnaces were. An eminent authority on explosives declares that many of those accidents in coal mines usually attributed to fire damp have been caused by dry coal dust suspended in the galleries having been accidentally fired. Even so appar- ently as innocent a substance as flour becomes tearfully explosive when mixed in suitable proportions with dry Another substance that has proved to be extremely dangerous when stored in large quantities is chlorate of potash. A disaster some years ago in a big Lon- don factory proved the destructive powers of this simple remedy for colds. ‘ â€"- â€"A-_...‘m m‘flm‘ LIABLE TO EXPLODE. v V.” v- vâ€"â€"â€" Sugar and oilâ€"elite of poiash mixed form an explosive which has been tried for blasting purposes, but so dangerous n mmnound is it that any explosive a compound is it that any explosive containing these ingredients is not like 1y to pass the government tests in this country.

The number of materials on .Which nitric acid will work a similar transformation is almost endless. Wood, paper, straw, coal, peat, pitch, starch, sugar, tea tan, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper and magnesium are only a tew that could be named. ‘ most nmmnmn is so extraordinarily sud- den in its action that a sum” quantity has DOM) exploded in contact with a lump of gunpowder and has failed to set tiro to it.

Besides these there are dozens of exnlosives with fancy names such as ballistite. cannonite. rifleite. randite. plastomenite. Those vary in size and shape of grain. color and power. but they all depend on the action of nitric acid for their explosive force. The Belle and Her Dre-l.
