Her heart leaped, then beat heavily; a jJoy beyond the power of poor mortal words to limn, sufused her. All in an instant a veil seemed to have been torn asunder, and she saw and knew what love meant; and that her love, with all it meant, had been given to him long, long ago.

After all, would the wrong be very frnt? He could take her away to some and where she would not be likely to meet any English people.

One of the thinge was a quaint Persian dagger in an exquisitely enameled sheath. Qflz drew the blade, looked at it without seeing it, then replaced it. "It would be wrong;" he said, as if the admission were wrung from him. "That is, in the eyes of the world; butâ€"but I am not sureâ€"I feel that even if it be wrong, it would be a greater sin to let you go back toâ€"toâ€"him." Bhe shuddered.

Then he rose, and taking her in hie arme, put her in the chair. "Let me think," he said. He began to pace the room, and walked to and fro with quick steps.

The meâ€" tal springs are said to give as readily as the elastic bands. It is the privilege of few to have their faces on coins. Most people are content to get their hands on them. Not an invention, perhaps, but quite interesting as a novelty are the printed fourâ€"inâ€"hand ties which English haberdashers are preparâ€" nig to put on the market this fall. The prints will represent sports and other lines of activity. One neckâ€" tie will show an aeroplane flying over a battleship and another will bear the figures of ballet dancers. A third style shows pictures of pheasants and grouse, and is eviâ€" dently intended to show that the wearer will go hunting before long. Still another carries the heads of a girl and a thoroughbred race horse, indicating a taste for racing, and so on, A new material has been invented called micarta, and is designed to take the place of hard fibre, glass, porcelain,‘ hard rubber and other substances which are used as insuâ€" lation, gear blanks, conduit for automobile wiring and the thousand and one other uses to which nonâ€" conductors are put in the handling of electricity. Micarta can be sawâ€" ed, milled, turned, tapped or threaded, but it cannot be punched except in thin sheets. It is conâ€" tended that it will not warp, exâ€" pand or shrink with age or expoâ€" sure. The "kangaroo‘‘ vessel is an inâ€" vention which is being tried in the French navy. It is so called beâ€" cause the idea of taking the subâ€" marine aboard may be said to be an imitation of the way in which the female kangaroo carries her young. The vessel is built so that her stern may be sunk by water ballast and the plates, framework and beams removed from the bow. This maniâ€" pulation reveals a large chamber into which the submarine may be driven, The bow is then sunk, also by water ballast. The submarine slides into its travelling dry dock and a reverse series of manipulaâ€" tions brings the "kangaroo‘‘ back into position for a voyage. it happens to be 2 :13 or 2:18. The phonographic record is on an endâ€" less belt and the grooves in which the voice vibrations are recorded run lengthwise of the belt.

This can easily be done by gett‘ng an ordinary tin, making holes round the sides, fixing a wire handle, and then making one piece of charcoal hot in the fire and dropâ€" ping it in the tin with the rest. _ Bwing the tin too and fro, and the whole mass will soon be red hot. Open drains and gulleysâ€"fruitâ€" ful causes of feverâ€"can be made quite harmless, if a sort of sandâ€" wich of wire gauze and charcoal is fixed or laid over them. No smell, and no fear of catching anything. Chronic sores which are unpleasâ€" ant, if bandaged with cotton wool layered with charcoal, at once beâ€" come all right. "All odors end here‘‘ is char coal‘s inflexible rule. In cases of burns, the applicaiion of powdered charcoal soothes the pain and heals the sore like magic. There is a slight disadvantage in using charcoal as a toothâ€"powder, it involves rinsing the mouth out two or three times, but if that trouble can be borne, then the use of charcoal will make the teeth gleaming white, the breath sweet, and bring to nought the ill effects of fermentation of little bits of food in the teeth crevices,. A piece of charcual suspended in muslin in drinking water makes it quite safe to drinz. Expensive filâ€" ters are but charcoal, after all, A wire gauze or muslin bag, filled with charcoal, and hung in the larâ€" der, will keep that important place perfectly sweet.

Jugs or any other vessels which have a nasty smellâ€"and nasty smells herâ€" ald diseasesâ€"can at once be made sweet if rinsed with powdered charâ€" coal and water. Binks, and the pipes leading away from them, would always be odorâ€" less if, now and again, they were swilled down with water and a litâ€" tle powdered charcoal. The smell of cabbage water is not nice. A lump of charcoal in the saucepan provents all odor. You may be afraid that the joint, or & plece of fish may go bad. Bimply lay pieces of charcoal on them, and they will keep perfectly fresh, If, say, the fish has manifestly "gone," cook it just the same, but place in the fish saucepan two or three pieces of charcoal. The fish will be as good as it but just caught. How many housewives look upon charcoal as a valuable necessity in the home? Fow. Yet its uses are many.
