One frequently reads about trains going at tho rate of one hundred miles an hour, but few persons have ever ridden at the rate of over seventy-five er eighty mllea, says Harper's Weekly. On' a little railroad extending from the suburb* of Berlin to the Town ef Zossen, an eleotrlc oar has been travelling an fast as 110 miles an hour, breaking the record for speed on the highways of steel. It is what we call a trolley car, but the trolley system is 'installed on a very elaborate scale, and the motive power which eperates the car is simply enormous. > Tho railroad In question is only about sixteen miles in length, and was built by tho Prussian Government for military purposes. Several months ago it was turned over to an association of electrical engineers and other experts for the, purpose of ascertaining what speed could be developed by the electric current. At the works of the Siemens & Halako Company of Berlin a car was constructed especially for the purpose, and when completed with the necessary machinery weighed nearly ono hundred tons. Tho body ef the car is similar to many of inose in uso on railroads in this country, with a vestibule at each end. And the roof and sides tapering in order to offer as little resistance to tho air, when going along at a high rate of speed, as possible. Tho car Is divided into threo compartments, with" seats extending transversely, while tho motorm.in is separated from tho passengers by a glass partition. "What engineers call the three- phase system of electricity is utilized for running tho car and the> two, trailers which it has been hauling during the experiments. Instead of the current being conveyed by one or two wires to the motor, It passes over a series of four, three of which are carried along tho side of the railroad upon posts. These are known as high tension, and are capable of supporting a current of no less than 12,000 volts, owing to the system of conduction and insulation. The current passes through the trolley bar, which, as will be noted, is a very elaborate affair, and thence through transformers to the motor. The motors are bolted upon tho axieS'Of the trucks beneath the car, each motor being large enough to run an ordinary factory, as It can generate fully 250 horsepower under ordinary conditions. Although these ponderous pieces of machinery weigh no less than four and a half' tons each, they move at the rate of 900 revolutions to a minute when a car is at full speed. It would be Impossible to stop and start the car with the controller which the motorman uses on the ordinary trolley system, so special apparatus had to be provided for this purpose. Tho electric switches and transformers are moved by compressed air, which really does the duty of the motor- man. The Defendant Won. Judge Siebecker of Wisconsin has displayed Solomon-like wisdom In some of his decisions. Two men appeared before him. One was a butcher, who claimed that the defendant owed him $10 for a meat bill. The defendant, a strikingly thin and gaunt figure,, denied the bill. Statements and counter-stirtements followed each othor with great rapidity. The lie was passed, but the constable intervened. "When was this meat purohased which . you aeld the defendant?" asked the Judge. "During; the past four weeks, your Honor." declered the butcher. , { "Then I decide this cuae in favor of the defendant," remarked the Judge, dellber-' ately. as he scrutinized the emaciated , figure before him. "His appearanc Indl-. catea that he haa not eaten $10 worth off meat In hi* lifetime." How He Learned to Count. Had Lots of Time. The following anecdote Is told of Joaquin Miller, (the reports of whose death published lately were promptly denied) the poet, who had a funeral pyre and monument built after his own designs:��� Years ago he was Journeying on foot, and was overtaken by an honest countryman, who took him up on his loaded waggon and gave him a long ride. Tired, Joaquin Miller's funeral pyre and monument at Oakland, Cal., built after his own design. at length, of conversation, the poet look a noyel from his pocket and pored over it long and silently. "What aro you reading?" said ' Iho countryman. "A novel of Bret Ilarte's," said Mr. Miller. "Well, now, I don't see how an immortal being wants to bo wasting his time with such stuff." "Are you quite sure?" asked the poet. "Are you quite suro that I am an immortal bolngV" "Of com tic you aro." "If that Is so," responded *MllIc>r, "I don't see why I need be economical of my timo." The nctumpiinylng sketch of the pyre and riioriiimcnt���lt is to servo hoili purposes���was taken from a California The, New Tork Sun ha�� the'following:���Tho expert accountant eald, aa he carefully ehuffled'the'cards: "If it ha* not been for-a frazzled old pack of cheap playing cards which I kept, elaborately hidden in the' bottom drawer of tho walnut washstund ln^ my little room ia my boyhood days on tho farm, my services would not now bo in such demand by confused financiers. Tho old-tima prejudice against the devil's pioture book was strong in my family, but I held on . to that pack with grim determination, I and many is tho candle I havo seen sink in tallow drips as I dealt out tlie fifty- two pasteboards into one uneven pile, I time after timo. But I was not playing , a game; I was not even wasting time.'j I was learning to add. You noed not . look surprised. Te me the whole thing ' seemed, and even now seems, very sim- , pie. I wonder "that more people have J not taken it up, but I appear to hava j been the only person among my acquaMit- j ances who has ever used playing aarda , for arithmetical purposes. To-day my . eldest boy, a youngster of 12, puzzles his j way through tho some system that made , a threatening column of figures seem like a twe-part sum to me. It is very simple, as I have said. There are fifty-two cards in every pack, and they are numbered ��� from one to ton in spots, and from eleven to thirteen in face cards. I give the three face cards the remaining value above ten; that is, the jack is eleven, the queen . twelve and the king thirteen. Now, the constant sum of the thirteen cards of each suit Is 91. It can be no more or no less, no matter in what sequence the cards are dealt out. The constant sum of four ' suits, therefore, must be just four times j 91, or 3G4. Now, with this to start on, I I evolved my own peculiar system of sight counting. The practice of a fortnight ��� made me so expert at it in -comparison with the other pupils in the:school to which I was sent that I achieved a reputation for quickness at figures. On ex- j hibitlon days the teacher would invar- I iably trot me out, and havo me go through my addition paces until I became ^one of the curiosity's of the villaee ac- ; ademy. But to return to the system. I do not know what started me off on the . idea, but this is what I did: First ar- ; ranging tho pack in regular order of suits. ! and all the cards of each suit in regular sequence from ace up, I started in to add them as they fell. If the sum of the thirteen made 91 I knew that no mistake had been made. If the total was something else I started all over again and worked at it until it came right. Thi3 formal preparation completed, I took the whole pack, sequence by sequence, until I was able to*reach the correct total of 3G4 without error. Then I shuffled each suit and went at adding the cards as they fell in unexpected and disordered sequence until I perfected myself in that advanced branch. Then came the hardest test, that of adding the fifty-two cards, all shuffled together as.this pack is. I had many a bad half hour at that, but at last I was so trained that I could deal the shuffled cards off as rapidly as my hands could fly, and get through to the total of 384 without a blunder. I spent nearly nine months perfecting myself In that system of mine, and never a word did I say to anybody about it. If my old teacher Is living yet I would like to toll her how I came to be so quick at the figures. After leaving school I went to work in a bank and there I found that my training with the cards stood mo in good stead, for with a littlo practice a formidable Great care is exercised in producing the famous ��� Cotentin butter of Nor mandy, which sells in Paris at $1.25 per pound. The'cows are brushed and kept Very clean, the udders washed' and dried,"and, the attendants and milkers keep themselves clean. The ,milk is ^doubly strained, and the churning is conducted on the best principles. No ' odors are allowed to come in contact with the milk at any time, and even the food and water of the cows are carefully" inspected. , The food animals consume modifies the character of their flesh. Turnips yield a peculiar flavor to mutton. The flavor of mutton from sheep that have lived upon the. highlands is different from that of sheep which have obtained their food chiefly from the lowlands.' The garlic of the meadows and some fragrant herbs modify the flavor of the meat Oily food tends to make the fat soft. Hens partly fed on scraps of decayed meat yield eggs that are at once unpleasant to the taste and unhealthy. Feeding the animals for human food is then of great importance and demands ��� experience. It is noi enough that,food makes fat���if should also impart an agreeable flavor.

Thousands of dollars are lost annually by butter being mottled. This defect is caused by an uneven distribution of salt. Take three lots of butter from the same churning, -even where no artificial coloring has been added, salt one lot at the rate of one- half ounce, the second at one .ounce, and the third lot at one and a half ounces, and the color will be so strikingly high in the last lot that it could not be mixed with the other lots without showing streaks. ' ' . This is no doubt due to the fact that salt has an affinity for water. The tendency is" for them to run together and form a solution. When salt is . used the water collects in larger beads, thus giving the butter a darker, shade ef color., Wherever you - find light streaks in butter, you will invariably find.no salt. Therefore, the first consideration in salting butter is to get good salt'that will dissolve readily. The (butter should not be drained very dry. It is better to use a little more salt if it is inclined to wash off some. Salt should always be put' on the butter in the churn, and the churn revolved a-few times.to thoroughly. incorporate the salt and -butter before putting the rollers in gear, thus retaining as much moisture as possible. 'Allow, the butter to stand from fifteen to twenty minutes before working, and then work it until it becomes waxy in appearance and the salt ceases to be, gritty. If these precautions' are observed there will be no danger of mottles.���C. C. Lyon, in American Cultivator. Skim Milk for Pigs. I wish to call the attention of dairy farmers to the high value of skim milk for furnishing bone material for the growing pig. One hundred pounds of milk contain seven-eighths of a pound of bone material. Nature* intended milk for the young calf; that is, the cow's milk is for the purpose of nourishing a calf; now, if you feed that to the pig there is the material in that milk which is intended to build up the bone of the calf, and it will build up the bone of the pig. When we use corn^ we use a material that is weak and lacking in bone material; the exclusive feeding of corn gives us pigs that have weak bones.

You who complain of too fine bone bear in mind what has been said here. When you come to the fattening process you do not need that bone-making material so much, and you don't get its value to yourself so much as with the younger pigs. Aim, then, to use skim milk for your growing pigs; but you must be careful not to use too much. From one to three pounds of skim milk with each pound of cornmcal is about .the right proportion. If you use eight or nine pounds of milk to each pound of cornmcal, you don't get the top of the value from your skim milk. There is one man in this_ country who has done worKis for the live stock interest, and that is H. B. Gurler of De Kalb, III. About eighteen years ago he conducted some pig feeding experiments, and he deduced a rule which farmers would do well to remember.

An' I see Squire comin'���" "Squire!" There was a fresh murmur, and without daring to look straightforwardly at 0 him, all the crowd in the little cottage room felt that their attention, though not their eyes, was riveted on Astiey, '���who at once came forward a step fiom the mantelpiece against which ho had been leaning. "Speak t* truth, lad," said the miner 'iwarningly.' "He's probably speaking the truth now," said Astiey quietly. "For it's a fact that I came 'back to The Ilaigh this; evening from the town, and passed through the plantation an hour or so , mgo." , Again there was a slight sensation observable, to the keen eyes of Norma at least, among the people present. They felt thcro was a fascinating mystery somewhere. ^ "So you got up in 'he tree for fear of being discovered by -Sir Astiey on the lookout for his nibbits?" said Dr. Wharles.. The Ltd began to stammer and to tremble. , i "I didn't* do no harm," ho said in his rough voice. "There's others gets into t' wood besides me." Tho doctor instantly changed Ins tone to one of good-humored kindness. , "Oh, Sir Astiey won't bo hard upon you this once in a way for trespassing. As you say, you're not the only offender." The doctor had scarcely finished speaking when the people began to mako way -for the haronct, who appeared suddenly desirous of taking a more prominent yart in the proceedings than he had -done. As he came forward, the miner who was on one aide of Ned <jave way at once: the doctor, however, did not. "Don't 'be flurried, my boy," said Dr. , Wharles in his cheery tones, "you know ' what you* saw, or what you didn't, scp, and what you heard or didn't hear. Don't 3et anyone flurry'you." ��� ' , "Be good enough not to prompt the boy, Dr. Wharles," said Astiey sharply. All present held-their breath. News of the' scene between these two men had spread like wildfire through the neighborhood, and m.inv,,md wild were the conjectures afloat as to the cause of .the quarrel. The doctor's usually handsome lace still bora eloquent witness to the (result of it. "Nothing ,was further from <��� my thoughts, I assure you, Sir Asbley," said Dr. Wharles, with a bland and slightly martyr-like air conducive to a feeling of from being bullied, with any impropei ��� motive, Sir Astiey!" askoa he with hre "I only mean," said Astiey, as calmly as before, "that we've not heard all the truth yet, but���that we shall probably be able to get at it by and by." There was an uneasy feeling growing in the'group, that resolved itself into an instinctive withdrawal of the better sort among them towards the door. Something in the faces and in the manner of tho two men who t wore meeting each other'bo fiercely eye to eye, Beomed to imply that there was more than a mere discuMdon of an exciting affair between them, that there was something intimate, something personal in the matter! onat called upon casual spectators to be modest. ' ' Before, however, this feeling had resolved itself into definite action on the part of the bystanders, AsLley, without another word to the boy, turned his back on the doctor, and advancing to the corner where - Norma was standing, shrinking, nervous, trembling, foe took her hand in his arm, and saying gently: "Come,'dear," led her out of the cottage, with a courteous acknowledgment, as lie went, of the salutations of his tenants and humble neighbors. v t ' Once in the road outside, Norma was able to speak freely. As she and Astiey crossed the road together, and walked along slowly under the shadow of the black wall, she whispered: "Astiey, you -were right. The boy didn't tell all the truth about what he saw." ' *��� r . "I was sure of that." "He told me, as soon as he came down from the tree, that the murderer lifted the body up and threw it down again." "What!" , ��<Sh���sh! I don't think you'd better go back," said she quickly, as Astiey stopped and turned. "You'll get nothing from him now. Let Mr. Capper know. There'll be an inquest, won't theier" "Yes, of course." ��� "Perhaps the truth will come out 'then." "The truth. What is the truth t" said Astiey, his voice sinking till it was as low as hers. , , > But that was a question she was not prepared to answer. They looked at each other furtively in the weak light of the one lamp, and they saw the same fear injeach other's' eyes. > *lt,'was Norma "who spoke first. "Let's go out into the fields," sho said, "where we can be quite sure no one can hear us. Just for a minute. I want to say something Jx> you." r So they went back, and re-crossed the lane, and went over the stile into the sympathy on his behalf against his late open ground, where Norma felt safe from assailant. "But the poor little chap being overheard seems nervous, and whatever violence you may think proper to use in your , dealings with grown men, I insist upon* your more gentle treatment of the boy." -Astiey was furious. The doctor was indeed making artful use of his wounds te excite sympathy for himself and antagonism against the baronet, who was really the most kind-hearted of men. It was some seconds before Astiey eouild trust himself to speak. Then he turned to the people round him, and ���aid, in a steady and straightforward way that appealed as strongly to the men as the more theatrical manner of the doetor did to the women: "I think, Miou<rii you don't know me very well yet, pou have ail seen enough of me to be sure I would never use violence towards iny person who didn't thoroughly de- terve it." . ' There was a murmur of assent audible -at once; and the doctor grew-rather less florid as he shrugged his shoulders, still, -however, keeping a showily protecting fcand on the shoulders of the boy who, ���truth to tell, was as solid and sturdy a young rascal as the county held, and could have heldhis own in a. tussle with either of the men. "You got up in the tree to hide from me," said Astiey, in a t very calm, mea- -eured voioe, and without any trace of riolence; "and what happened after that?" Stubborn silence on the part of the ���boy. "Speak out, laddie," said tho miner from a little distance. "Don't be afraid," reiterated tho doctor close to his side. "I duimo what happened after that/' said Ned sullenly. "Yo' must ha' seen. somebody down below. If you could see I' squire you could seo other folk," said the miner. "Did you see anybody else?" asked the doctor, still .keeping up tliat friendly tone which contrasted so strongly with the slightly cross-examining maimer of the others. * "No," said Ned. "I see nobody 'ceptin' Bquire." "You mean, .perhaps," suggested tho genial doctor, "that you saw Sir Astlej while you were still on the ground. Bui when you got up in the tree you were too high up to-distinguish anybody below." "Ay, that's reght," said Ned. Astiey laughed a little, and at the tound Dr. Wharles looked, round with some slight uneasiness, perhaps afraid of another attack from the hot-headed baronet. "I dare say," -said Astiey quietly, "we shall get at something more reasonable from tho lad when there's no one beside him to put tlie words in his mouth." At that the doctor stood up quickly. "Do you mean to suggest that I .inn taJunir this -bov'a ,par-t. .and .saving him "I want to tell you," she said, "before we say good-night���" "Good-night!" cried he in consternation. "Aren't you going back with me then?" "Not on any account. And you aro not to ask where I live, or to come and see me." "But why shouldn't you stay at the Haigh? People will chatter, and ask all Borts of questions if you don't come back, and if they know you're living here!" Norma made an impatient movement with 'her hand, in, her impulsive, half foreign fashion. "What does that matter? Wouldn't they chatter in any case? Let them talk till they're tired of talking. I tell you I have a reason," said she imperiously. "Now I want to tell you not to he alarmed if the truth doesn't all'como out at the inquest. I have an idea that it won't; I have an idea that1 we shall be made to suffer a -good deal more before it does. Now will you promise me not to quarrel with Dr. Wharles again, and not to express any suspicion of anybody���-J* "You know something?" cald Astlej quickly. - "I don't indeed. I know absolutelj nothing. But���I believe it's my Italia* blood, I have a fancy that I can plai 'detective a little, and I tell you 1 ���shouldn't scruple to do it in a cause 1 bad deeply at heart." "Come, you can tell me, what do you "juspeot?" "I can tell you nothing. You wouls laugh at me. But I want you to be verj circumspect, _ and very quiet and���verj generous to your wife." "You are my wife," cried Astiey pas oionately. "I don't mean me, though," said Nor me. demurely. "I mean to���the othei one." "But why���" "Do as I tell you. And rememtoel again and again, you arc not to ba alarmed whatever they say, whatever they think." "I wish you'd explain," said Astiey uneasily. But sho would not. Sho called his attention, at that moment, to a commotion in the lane behind them, and returning thither, they found that.tho police had coma from Bln.ckdo.le, and with them a freph crowd of sonsation-mongers. The people streamed into tho read, into, the plantation. The police went first, with Dr. Wharles, who bad bees summoned from Raggett's cottage to explain what indeed there was little need to explain. - Norma and Astiey drawing Wether under the shelter ol the hedge that bordered the lone, beside the etile, -heard the doctor's ringing tone* as he talked. Tlie people who !had been in. .tho cottage, ana who had seen the Body, did not, for the most part,' join in this seeond expedition into the wood; they formed groups in tho lane, discuss ing the mysterious affair. Tlie werds of some of these gossips reached the ears of Astiey and his com pankm, ,a8, anxious that the people should disperse before they theraselvei went back into the lane, t'hey waited a few minutes in silence near the stile. 'It's a' rum thing this, and a bad be ginning for t' new master oop at t Haigh, said one man to another, in a low voioe. f ( , ��� "Ay," said his mate, "let's hope as o\v t' truth '11 coom out and clear him."

"But hi' saya hissen as how ho doan't think w< ought to talk as if we felt suspicious without more proof than'we.gotten." <��� Nonna was .trying to draw Astlej away: but he seemed to be rooted to thl spot. "They suspect me of the murder!' he cried hoarsely.' y ��������� i CHAPTER XVni. ' . Very gently, very sweetly, Norma trice to soothe Astiey, and to restrain him rrom following tho artful doctor, thei. and there. "Don't you see," cried tin unhappy Astiey, "that it's this rascalh fellow who's been spreading the belie") that it was I who killed this man, the very man I've-been so anxious to meet?' "Well, if he has," said Norma persuan ively, "his tales will turn against himseli by and by. People will say that he ie malicious and revengeful, after your attack upon him, and that this is the woj he ie trying to satisfy his malice." But Astiey would not be convinced. , "This affair is of too' intimate a na ture for the truth to be given to the world," said he, "and the beggar knows that, and presumes upon it." ' "Well then, how can you bring up the ���abject new, before all the people?" said Norma. '"You know it's impossible. The doctor would aay such things before everybody, that you would not be able to control your rage and disgust.' No, no, let me persuade you; let me, oh, let mc have the satisfaction of feeling that 1 have dene some good, some little good!" Her plaintive appeal touched Astiey to the nsart. Once more he entreated her to o��me back to the Haigh with him and when his entreaties failed, he began to reproach her and to say she did not care for him.,- "Don't you see," urged he, "that while you live is. the neighborhood, yet not in my house, people will ask questions, and ferret out things? While if you come back, and live in the same house as you have dene, the gossips will be quiet?" "Oh, no, they won't," said Norma. "This affair.to-night, this dreadful story, will bring out more than you think. And then you will find people will see we have done what is right, what is best. And, remember, the more of the truth they learn the stronger the feeling for us will be. We need not tell anybody anything: we don't want to parade our griefs before the world. But since the world will never be satisfied till it knows the truth, and since the truth'is that we are both quite blameless, isn't it better not to moke any pretense, but to'face the facts as they are, and wait?" He let himself be persuaded at last. But her heart ached for him, as, weary and worn out, he left her, when the excitement in the neighborhood had died down, and the body had been carried away, and went Ijack, through the dark wood, which had been the scene of such a terrible tragedy, to bis great, lonely house���ill "and alone. On tlie following morning Norma, from her upper window, saw Dr. Wharles como up the lane, not in his gig, but on) foot, and go quickly into Raggett's house. Her landlady, old Mrs. Giles, saw him too, and instantly began to gossrp, with an old woman's malice, about black-eyed Nance Raggett and the handsome doctor. "Is he often at the cottage, then?" asked Norma. "Dear, no, my lady," said Mrs. Giles. For she had learnt who Norma was, and was very proud of her lodger, though somewhat puzzled by, her choice of a residence. "I've never seen him there afore. No doubt he' noticed her black eyes and her saucy, ways last neght; for she's a bold 'un; not but what there's something to be said for her, poor thing, tied to a drunken fellow like Raggett; which she's his second wife, and no children of her own, only that gowk of a Ned, the eon by Raggett's first wife, to look-after. But there, I'm. running on, and I see you don't care for gossip, my lady; it's not likely a lady of your quality would.". Nerma let' her run on with her remarks, but the point of interest was past for her. This, then, was the doe- tor's first visit to the cottage, with the ���xeeption of his share in the visitation ���f the previous night. She took mental note of this fact, and even condescended to play tho spy from her window, in order to ascertain how long Dr. Wharles stayed there. And his visit was a very long one. ifeceased against any0'man or of any grudge entertained against him. The next witness called was Norma, who trembled so pitifully that they gave her'a ehair, in which she sat, limp and lifeless, her features shrouded by a thick black veil, the raising of which was suggested by one juryman; though his demand was evci i tiled. ' She looked such a forlorn little creature, in her'black dress, with her great black eyes shining out of a pale face through the meshes of the veil, tliat a good deal of sympathy was aroused for her. Rumors had not been wanting as to the existence of a lady with a better right than she had 'to her title, and the fact that she was not living at her reputed husband's house was taken as convincing proof that there was something in the rumors. The nature of some of the questions put to her was startling in the extreme. "May I ask, Lady Darwen, how it was that you were in the wood that evening the evening, of the murder?" asked the coroner, i cspectfully enough, but so unexpectedly that Nonna stinted violently She waited a moment before replying, i "I was in the lane beside the wood, ����� hen I saw a flash in the darkness, and then another flash, and heard two reports and a loud cry. I got over tlie wall and ran through the wood"until J touched something with my foot, and found���itjwas���the body." , "Did you see anyone in the wood before you saw the flash?" , "Not at that time," she answered, after a moment's hesitation. The jurors grew attentive. ' ��"Not at that time! jDo you mean you 'had previously seen'someone there?".. "I nad seen someone go into the wood ���two people." "Two .people? 'How long before was that?" "I can't tell exactly. Some minutes before." "' u > "They passed you in0the lane?" "No. I saw them from the window of Mrs. Giles's cottage."' "Will you tell us just what you saw?'" "I wa�� at my 'window when I saw someone���cross the road, irom the stile a little beyond the cottages, aad go iato "the wood." ,' -* "Over the .wallr' ��� , Norma's heart wid her voioe sank together, c- "No. Through the gate." "Through the gate! Is it a public way?" , ' "No. v He unlocked the gate and went through." "Did yeu see who it was?" "I thought it was���Sir, Astiey Darwen," said Norma tremulously. 'Here Astiey nodded a decisive assent to the coroner and jury. The eoroner went on with his interrogatory: "And you say you saw a second man? Did he go through the gate with Sir Aat- ley!" - ^ , *"Vo. He came from the stile, went 1 up the lane to the right, and got over the wall into the wood." "AVhen was this?" -L > "A few moments later." "And who was, this man?" y, _v "I don't know' at all. He was never >ear enough for. me to see." "But you can give* us your impression as to 'his appearance. Was he a tall or a ��h��rt man?" ��� "Tall, I think. Not particularly short, I am almost sure." "Bid you ever see the deceased man in lifeT' "Yes. Onoe fer a few momenta only." "Was it he you saw?" "I really didn't see well enough to be tore. If I must give my impression, it was that the man I saw cross the road imis a broader-built, stouter man than thought him too unintelligent* fist~$a Jdve, told the truth. ' The next witness was the keeper ef an tin where the deceased had passed the ���right previous to his death. This man deposed that the deceased -fid said his business in tho town was with Sir Astiey Darwen, and1 he had bragged "that he would be a richer man when he loft Blackualo than when he went into it. , These statements, which were after-J waids confirmed by two or three townspeople, customers, at the inn, who had> Bjnoken with Rogerson, produced a profound sensation in court, aiumy a curious glance was directed, after this, to ��� the corner where Sir' Astiey and his wife sat, botli very i quiet and downcast, aide by side. , The next witness, when these had been disposed of, was Dr. Wharles. There was a subdued buzz of whispering voices in the court when he�� advanced and stood up facing the jury; and the spectators glanced at the sear " on his handsome face, and exchanged furtive nods as they looked from himHto, Sir Astiey, and recalled by a frown or a raised eyebrow the scene which had tak--/ en place between these two men but a few days before. ��� Dr. Wharles, proved an excellent witness, clear, straightforward, unhesitating. After stating that he had first judged,r, from the position of the wound and of the body, that the tragedy was a case of i suicide, but that subsequent examina-V tion, and the fact that no weapon had been found, had caused him to alter bis opinion, he gave a minute description "oi the two wounds found on the dead man, - one of which had pierced the heart, and must have proved instantly fatal; then .' he went on'to answer the various further questions put to him with perfect dis-��� tjnetness and "in a voice whieh all'could hear. ___, ' ' '' -| "Did you know the deceased,-Dr.' Wharles?" , , ' ,(To be Continued.),' ~'"A~pl 15 \\AA WELL EARNED, .

"But you could, not sec clearly?" "No." "When you came to the body, was anybody near?" '1 thought not until I cried for help on hearing ai noise above me, and a boy came down from a tree." "Was anybody else in sight at that time?" "No." "Did you fcear any sound as if any-^ kbdy else was.near?"

The engineers digging thev wonderful tunnel that runs through the great Simp- -lon Mountain to connect/Switzerland with Italy are experiencing great difncultlea because of the presence of boiling water in tho mountain. The water cornea from the top of the mountain, and is heated , almost to boiling point by the frUtion and pressure of its percolation through the ' limestone beds of tho mountain. Before the tunnel had been dug very far on tho Italian side the heat became so intense that it was impossible to live in it. The mountain waa piped, and soon 16,000 gallons of steaming hot water was flowing out of the south ond of tho tunnel every minute of the day and night. The immense flow was harnessed and mado to drive refrigerating plants^arid cold-air . blowers. To-day the temperature of the ' tunnel has been reduced from a height that would have roasted a man in a minute or two, and the atmosphere now has the pleasant warmth of a June day. Tho hot- water also drives pneumatic drills and boring machines, so that it helps to dig the tunnel as well. When completed the Slmplon tunnel will be the biggest in the world���fourteen miles long, with a cost of nearly $1,000,000 a mile. Did Not Hear It.

"Having made some qualitative tests before sending the sample lo the assayer, T found indications of the presence of palladium and requested Mr. O'Sullivan lo make a caicful quantitative analysis for that metal���the large quantity of "which came as a great surprise to me. I do 110c remember of having noted any report of the presence of palladium in any of the assays of concentrates fiom -the auriferous plluvials of British Columbia; and [t might be well for those operating alluvial mines to have their concentrates carefully examined for the prescnce*f this metal���which belongs to the "Platinuiii-osminni- iridium" group and possesses a commercial value higher Hum tliat of platinum."

And from her low seat beneath i the overhanging honeysuckles Bertha IWyman saw and felt all this'summei" i. beauty, with the faint, blissful languor ot a tropic dream. , , "Bertha!" Paul Fordham crossed the broad rib- 4>on of moonlight that fluttered over the piazza, and came to sit down at tho fiancee's feet. ' "You are like a picture to-iIighL, Bertha; do you know it?" "Am I?" Miss Wyman was a ecus* 'Homed to adulation, and took it very coolly, with only a royal &mile flung down to her admirer. "Hush���who is that?" she said, with * little start, as a light footstep sound- . ed on the matted hall beyond. "Only your aunt's companion, Mrs. , Raymond. By the way, Bertha, what n very interesting little thing she is��� mich a child widow, with tho*,e big black eyes, and the heavy lashes, that seem actually to weigh down her eyelids!

I wan tell you. what, my fair Saxon em- 1 press, if I hadn't lost my heart irrev- ' ooably to you long before I ever saw Mrs. Raymond, there's no telling what night have happened."

' ' She sat there silent and motionless tar -well nigh half an hour; then there Jfcme a soft tap at her chamber door. J"Come In," said Bertha Wyman. *IAndrMrs. Raymond entered. , ,' "I beg your pardon for disturbing you, Mise Wyman, but were you aware that you left your bracelet on the pi- *zza floor? .Here it Is." ; "It takes you and Mr. Fordham some Hme to discover the loss of a bracelet," 'tatd Bertha, tauntingly. "I am really ��� wry to have given you tho trouble of -io lengthened a sea-rch." , Zaidee Raymond's cheeks flushed "painfully. "If you would but allow me to con> tde in you, Miss Wyman," she fai- - kered, drawing a step or two nearer to 'lh�� haughty Saxon beauty. "Mr. " ��Y>rdham has told me���" '' "I do not wish to become the repository of your confidence," said Bertha, frith chilling abruptness; "nor do I tare what Mr. Fordham chooses to tell'you. Good night." And she motioned Mrs. Raymond imperatively Irom her presence. > It was about a week afterward that Bertha Wyman was coming home from ���I long walk to a distant farm house, where an old schoolmate of hem redded. She had refiif-ed Paul Ford- jiam's escort, probably because she had geen him walking up and clown the Song hall with Mrs. Raymond at his side that very morning, and now she "Kelt a little wearied, somewhat lonely -Mid very orost. The sun had been Sown about half an hour, but the west waa still illuminated with a belt of orange brightness, and the winding river tangled along the shore with starry water lilies, reflected the warm glow1 ���f the sky like a second firmament.' As Bertha descended into a little wooded hollow, * fragrant with wild noses, for she had avoided the thoroughfare, unfrequented though it was. end chosen Instead a shaded by path��� ��he became conscious that two other persons were strolling along the road Itself, from whom she was only divided by a tangled mass of wild grapevines, festooned from the slender branches of a few silver birches���two other persons ������Paul Fordham and Zaidee Raymond. The color died away from Bertha's jomawhat flushed cheeks, as she paused to listen, for they too had paused where two roads separated. "We must not walk any further to- 5ether," said Paul Fordham's voice. Nobody is to suspect anything yet, you know. We'll surprise them;" And then oame Zatdee's: soft, hesk jSating laugh. "It seems like a dream, Mr. Ford�� bam.".:; "But you will find it, I hope, a happy reality," he said, looking tenderly down upon her bowed head. "You do Bot regret trusting to me?" "Qhl" sho murmured. "I nevet Woomed that eartn fiaZTao mxt&Vaav ipiness in store Cor toe yet! And I omr* at All to you!" V, I And then Bertha could hear Ms footsteps dying away in the distance, asll could ane Mrs. Raymond standing mo* Uonl��9B for a moment, with her tiny Stands olaaped, and then gliding softly on, her scarlet soarf glimmering through the dusk like the wing of a "Cylon bird. "False! faithless!" muttered Bertha, under her breath, with her white teeth ���et closely together. And she! how' dare aha?" Sho hurried down the twilight glade, the thorns tearing her dress, the briers wounding her delicate flesh, but eh* felt them no more than if they had been rose petals blown toward her by the evening breeze. Some strong, savage purpose was maturing in her mind ���some overmastering passion held he/ ���whole being in its grasp. She knew that to strike into the right road Zaidee must ere long take the secluded path sho was treading. Her sole aim was to reach the tiny footbridgo which'crossed the narrow river first. And sho succeeded. It was quite' dark���the'fragrant, starry darkne&s of a midsummer night���when she hurried down the steep shelving bank: "The planks arc old and ruinous," she murmured. "They shook and rattled under my feet as I passed over today. Zaidee Raymond shall come between me and my plighted lover no more!" As she crossed, she cleliberatly stooped, tearing up plank after plank behind her and throwing them into the river with a dull, splashing sound. They were not large, but they had b-*cn twice, nay, threo times their size, Bertha wyman would have torn them away from tho moldering beams, so supernatural seemed her strength, in that instant. > , "There!" she said, half aloud, pausing to look down into the peacetul stream where the planks floated amid the faint, reflection of innumerabls stars. "Long ago, when I was a child, a man was drowned he"e. The water is deep, and the spot is very lonely." The next moment she was gone, hurrying madly away, as if somo unseen presence were following close upon her footsteps. "You're lata'to-night, Bertha!" Paul was looking out,for her from the piazza steps,, and came pleasantly to meet her. "I know it," she said," putting tho hair away from her forehead, where the cold dew stood out in beads. '"It is a long way from Redcoite farm, and I- I did not walk very fast." "Come and sit by me, Bertha," said Paul. "I've got a long story to tell you." "What is'it?" she asked mechanically. "It's about little Zaide Raymond. She's not a widow, after all." "Not a widow?" "No; and how do you suppose I found it out? Clifford, my cousin Clifford, wrote to me from India, and he is her husband. You see, there was some misunderstanding, some absurd quarrel between them before the honeymoon was over. He was a jealous fool, and she was passionate and sho ran away and left him. He somehow heard that she was' in this part of the country, and wrote to "me. Of course, the. minute I got a chance to speak to her I knew it was Zaidee. And she ia the happiest little creature in the world, to think he really loves her, and next week she's going out to him.

He did not see the gaze; her eyes, wide open'and dilated, were fixed on vacancy, and her face was deadly white. Merciful Heaven! What had she done in the wild, unreasoning madness of her jealousy?

"I'm afraid that walk was too much for you yesterday. And it's so strange that Zaidee did not come homo last night." "Strange!" As Bertha Closed her heavy eyes she almost seemed to see the dead face turned upward among the water lilies, with its wealth of jetty hair tangled amid their wreathed stems! Oh, as long as she lived that white face would haiint her waking or sleeping hours. Would it be long before they found the corpse? Would they bring it up the flowery lawn, with the long hair dripping? Ot would it float there, for days, perhaps, in the lonely fipot? And��� s "Why, Zaidee! where have you fceen?"

From his head 'he would stoically pluck a hair and with it bind the struggling insect to Bhe (hook. Almost upon the instant that bhis bait struck the water a fish would leap for it. After landing liim the Indian would calmly repeat the perform- ance of snatching a hair from his head and affixing a fresfli grasshopper to the hook.' "'I became fascinated,' continued the QnsTabor. 'After the Indian had landed In quick succession a mighty string of lalmon trout lie suddenly stopped.

Take the gatling gun for eaomple, the inventor of which, Dr. Kioh- aid J. Gatling, died in New York the oth " er day, aged eighty-five. The idea of his deBtiuotive gun was suggested to Iiirri early in the Civil War by the spectacle of tie great number of soldiers sent ��home for burial, who had died, not from '���bullets, but from disease in the hospitals ,It occurred to him that there were toe many men in the service. He thought ii something could be invented whereby one soldier could do the work of a hun dred, .the other ninety-nine could stay at home, and there would be fewer widows and orphans in gonsequence. So he 1'invented a gun which" would throw hundreds of bullets by merely turning a crank. But though this gun made war ���more destructive, it did not reduce th< number of soldiers as he had anticipated. Dr7 Gatling, there is reason to believe, sought to mitigate the evil he had unintentionally wi ought by turning his inventive genius to the ai ts of peace, and his last years were spent in perfecting a new plow he had invented, which, it is expected, will revolutionize agricultuie on the great farms of the West. Th��i plow runs by gasolene motor of sufficient ( power to propel the machine with tlie | shares at any. depth up to twelve inches [ The plow not only plows, but harrows . rolls and seeds the ground at the same1 ,time, thus saving one-fourth,the cost oi i planting.

To-nighi the throbbing of that vacuum has been so strong that I have been able to locate it in my heart." f ' The voice of the youth choked with mingled emotion and tobacco, both of which he had been swallowing right along.

The Englishman Impaled. War between the Scotch and the English is on once more. This time swords and long* bows are not the implements of vengeance, but the pens 'of authors. Not long ago the publication of "The Unspeakable, Scot" aroused much resentment among the dwellers in Caledonia by 'its unjust criticism of the Scotch people. A counter-thrust hoe now appeared from the pen of Angus McNeill, entitled "The Egregious English." This is made up of scathing irony, sarcasm, criticism, and hypercriticism, directed against the English people and'some of their customs and institutions. In brief,.Mr. McNeill says England ie decadent. Her men of business are "Willie boys;" her' journalists are, tied to apron-strings; her employed men are servile slaves; her women are as homely as Don Quixote's duenna, and with no redeeming qualities of mind; her Army is weighted down,with commissioned officers, knowing well how to climb the social ladder, but understanding nothing and caring as much about how to scale a kopje; iier clergy aie debased cultures, dishing up-to a gluttonous publia pabulum containing ,no ingredients < of true religion, or etmes; her politicians are wire-pullers; her poets died long ago; and her fiction writers are skilled only in glossing over the vulgar and presenting the manufacture to an undiscern- ing public. And so on through the list of subjects to the last, "The Beloved"��� the Englishman abroad���well, described in ,the irony of the author aa follows: "He drops fatness and blessings as he walks. He smiles benignity and gracious- aess and 'I-am-glad-to-see-you-all-looking- 30-well.' And before him runs one in plush, crying:/rWho is the most popular man of this footstool?'

Lunch over, she returns home and lies down for an hour. Then she arrays herself in an elaborate tea-gown and receives a favored few ia her boudoir, where, ovei a_ cup of tea, she assists to tear into piecemeal portions the characters of hei dearest friends. Another 'rest/ and again the business of toilet is resumed. When en grande tenue she either goes out to dinner or entertains^ a large party of gueste at her own table. A tete-a-tete meal with her husband would appear to her in the light of a positive calamity. She stays up plaj'ing 'bridge' till two or three o'clock in the morning and retires to bed more or les3 exhausted, and can only sleep with the aid of narcotics. She resumes the same useless' existence and perpetrates the same wicked waste of time again the next day, and every day. Her children she scarcely sees, and ^the management of her house is entirely removed from her hands. The housekeeper .takes all the accounts to her husband, who meekly pays the same, and lives foi the most' part at his club or at the houses of his various sporting friends. 'Home* is for him a mere farce. He knew what it was in his mother's day, when his grand old historical scat was a home indeed, and all tlie members of the family, young and old, looked upon it as the chief center of attraction, and the garnering point of love and faith and confidence; but since he grew up to manhood and took for his life paitnei' a rapid lady of the new motor school of morals, he stands like Mai ins among the ruins of Carthage, contemplating the complete wreckage of his ship of life, and knowing sadly enough that he can never sail the seas of hope again."

Not the oldest,oi plainest of tHiem, and to make them entirely hopeful I had to indicate another husband���rather vaguely, of course. He was already married, with this er that ' number of children, and it was evident that my client had him already in her eye, for she nearly always said, TTesj that's him!' and gave,me details,about * - him, and said she wa.9 sure 'things would right themselves'���which, of course, re�� ferred to his wife being got rid of somen how when her husband had gone to glory." . The Pope's Contemporaries. ' Though born two months after the end of 1809, the Pope may fairly be included among the big babies who made that year the richest in births of the nineteenth century. During the twelve months from January 1 to fJeccmbcr 31, 1800, Gladstone, Bismai ck, Abraham Lin, coin, Tennyson, Elizabeth Barrett Brown. ing, Darwin and Oliver Wendell Holmes all first saw the light. Such a coincidence in appearance surely bespeaks tho presence of genius in the atmosphere. In the eighteenth century 1J09 was similarly memorable for the birth of Napoleon, Wellington, Ney, Soult, Bourienne, Chateaubriand, Mehemet Ali, Cuiver, Hum-i boldt and Castlereagh. The great. Birth year of this century must be left fo*q some chronicler in the next to note. Per�� haps it is 1903.
