HER PRIDESUBDUED.
When ITolcn Vinton was tvronty-ono,
tho mills wlicrolier father bail mnile llio

It linil boon understood that boforo
that thnoslio would bo tho wlfoot hor
cousin Victor, to whom alio linil been
betrothed almost from her cradlo.
liotni'on her and nil rnro rcKntdlng tho
mills stood lier foreman, Btoplien Wnl

and feared, and whoso father had been
foromnn thcro beforo lilm.
Titougli tho mnrrlngoliad boon delayed
from tlmo to tlmo, and Victor bad spent
most of tho two years slnco slio roachod
her majority wandering over Kuropo,
Bho had novor known the responsibility
of her position until this nutumn dnv,
whon sho snt amid tho rich surround

tho long columns of figures that rep
resonted to her tho Btato of her
business.
Thoro was n quick step In tho hall, and
Stephon Walker outerod.

" Oh, I daro sny they nro plnln

a llttlo break In her sweet proud voico,
and extomling her haudj to Lira " I

Ho took her hands In his, nnd bont
over thorn, with a sob In hl3 voleo.
" Oh, Holen don't you know? Can't
you understand? It Is not becauso I
want to better myself that I must go,
but beoauso to stay hero, seeing you
every day, and knowing, as I do, that
you can never bo ralno, is madness, for,
oh, Noll, my quoon, I lovo you 1"
" Stop I" sho said passlonatoly.
" No ; you must hoar mo. I never
meant to tell you this, but now you must
know why I desert tho chnrgo your
father left to mo. I romomber tho first
day I saw you, whenyourfather brought
you down to tho dusty old mills a tiny
golden-hnlrcd fairy, who seemed of liner
clay than I, n, rough boy and left you
for a wholo bright day In my euro.
Uolpn, from that day I havo worshipped
you, madly, hopelessly, I know, but
as novcr man lovod beforo: and now lo
stay hero and seo you Victor's wife, Is
worso than Death."
" Novo you qiilto finished?" sho said.
" Then go. It is well you havo choocu
to leave hero nt once."
He wont wearily out Into tho autumn
evening, whera tho wet wind, sobbing
through tho leafloss branchoj ot tho
trees, seemed an echo to hh thoughts.
And insldo, prono on tho lloor, l.rr

Holon Vinton lay struggling wll t i

her and tho foreman of hor nulla
was u gulf that lovo could not brid:o.
Tho winter that followed was a trv.

A few days after thK Bho was engaged
In smno household duties, when Vlctor'b
bright faco appeared at tho window.
" I want you to como down to tin

addition Is almost flnUhod, nnd 1
want your approval before wo remote

"Very well, Victor, I shalj be, down
presently." sho said,
" And Nell," ho continued, " tho men

his Hps,
I'loUling to a sudden Impulso, sho bont
forward and touched hor lips to tho
bright boyish brow
VI I
And Victor wont down tho road to th
mills with a lighter heart than ho had
known for months, for ho loved his
cousin, nnd her coldnoss and lndlfforonoo
troubled him soroly.
Just then tho morning train thundorod
up to tho little station, halt a mllo dls
tant, nnd left a slnglo passenger, who
noddod familiarly to tho fow bystnndora
and took tho path across tho fields to
tho mills.
Victor was standing surrounded by
tho men. Ho was telling them ot his
arrangements for tho picnic.
On tho outskirts of tho llttlo group,
unnoticed in tho oxcllement of tho
moment, stood tho man who had
Just arrived.
Suddenly ho raised his eyes to tho
scaffolding nbovo Vlctor'B head, and
then strong men wero thrown right and
deft, as by n giant's strength.
Thoro was a crash, and Victor was
thrown far out of harm's way.
Nutwhcro ho had stood a momont be
foro, lay n man they all know,
pinned down by a beam across him.
And while thoy Btood horror-stricken,
a woman was In their midst.
" Men," pho said In a voleo so unllko
her own that tliojo who heard It nover
forgot, ' can you do nothing but stand
anil stnro llko Idiots? Victor, ho has
glvon his llfo for you, can youdo nothing
to relievo him?
" Oo to tho houso and sco that a room
Is mado ready to reeelvo him. John
Stiles, snddlo tho Ileeteat horso In tho
stablo, and tldo for Nr. Jackson as you
nocrrodo beforo; and tho rest of you,
put forth strenpth and lift this beam."
And they Micccoded In rescuing tho
man, nnd boro him into tho houso. No
fore them walked n woman with wild
oytrt and whito drawn lips.
When tho doctor euno out of tho
room', fcho mot him at tho door.
" Is thero nny hope, doctor?''
" I cannot tell yet. II o haa n strong
constitution, nnd I hopo for tho best."
' Doctor," sho said, grasping Ids arm
with passionnlo force, "you must eao

" You forget, my child, that tho Issues

" Forglvo me, doctor I I scarcely

Sho laid a slim cool hand in his.

ho has done for wo."
Tho doctor looked into her faco and
read her secret,
" It shall bo as you wish," ho said
brlc.ly; "but you must let a nurso
help you."
t o went Into tho darkened room,
whero ho lay In a hoavy Blupor, and
knelt bcsldo tho couch.
Presently ho opened his eyes nnd 6nw
her thcro. A smllo lighted hi face.
"Noll, Queon Nell I" ho said Boftly,
and then, " Victor, Is ho snfo?"
" Safo and unharmed, Stephon; but at
what a cost I"
"It Is bettor so bettor and easier to
dlo thus for your happiness than to Uvo
through tho weary years of oxllo IlooLcd

" Do not; talk of dying," sho monned.
i' You must llvo for my sa'o; for,
oh, darling, I cannot llvo without you !"
"Do you know what you aro saylnc,
Helen? Did you care for mo a llttlo

" So much, Stephen, that If you aro

in llfo for mo but lo Ho down and dip,
too so much that I could never bio

shrank from telling him so."
" I must llvo, dear," ho said; "I can

And then ho drifted nway Into uncon

In Ohio, a married woman's rights nro
co-equal with her husband's. Whatever
a man may do a wife may do also. It
she owns separate real estate she can soli
and convey It without consulting her
iiusiianu. if silo wants to mortgago or
lease her farm or houso or lot sho is at
perfect liberty to do so. If she possesses
personal property it is her own, and it
will pass to her husband only by her con
sent. Tho law regarding man and wife
has been completely revolutionized by a
nicro act ot stmpiiucation. no can ntiy
and soil, suo and be sued, in her own
ni' me, without any intervention ot hr
hi sband or "next friend." If sho is in
debt when she marries her hush ind is
nut bound to tiny the indebtedness unless
ho chooses, Tho creditor must collect
from tho real debtor. In other wor.ls,
thu ligljts of mail and wlfo aro mado
exactly Identical. Whatever right tho
man possesses under tho marriage rela
tion, tho same right is possessed by tho
wife without modification, or abridge
ment. According to tho la,y of Ohio to
day, husband and wife aro not ono per
son, but two separate and distinct indi.
vidiuls as far as tneir independent right
lo acquire and dispose of personal, real
a id mixed property isconceined. If she

HOW NECKTIES ARE MADE.
A Manufacturer Trltn or tho Trad And Its
I'ecullAtStlet.
Tho designing of silks and satins for
neckties is a profewion in Itself. "Thero
aro special grades and designs of silks
and satins mado exclusively for tho neck
llo trade," said a manufacturer to a New,
Y'ork Jiii't reporter. "These materials
aro mado from patterns designed by nion
who do nothing but study new things in
this lino. There nro from fifty to seventy,
live factories in tho country and ten or
twelve first-class makers. Tho latter
usually secure excluslvo rights to use
certain styles of goods ouered to tho
American market, or a largo portion of
it. Nut tho success of making up such
goods is Just llko a lottery. Perhaps ono
season I hit upon a design :.''at will be
como so popular that all the other mak
ers aro forced to adopt it, but tho noxt
season some one In Noston or Philadel
phia will make a hit, and I am forced to
copy that. There's never any telling
liowanecktloisgoingto tako until it is
fairly on the market. Then it depends
lor success on who adopts it first. If ho
happens to bo n swell, that particular
kind of necktio will sell well."
"Aro tho styles of making np neckties
originated abroad?"
"Not now. Thoy wero until about
thrco years ago, but now our styles aro
superior to the Kuropean, and thoy are
coining over hero for patterns. How.
ever, there is a tendency toward English
patterns for this season.
"Thero are more than 1,200 girls cm
ployed in this city alone. They work by
thu pieco and mako money more or less
according to their cxpertness. A good
finisher can mako $3 or $9 a week. Mio
takes a necktio after it is put together
and finishes each detail perfectly so that
it is ready to box. Thrco dillerent colors
ot the eauio design and sauio stylo aro
twisted together to give tho dualer an
assortment in the one mako. Tho finisher
must seo that all of this kind are ex
actly aliko in point of finish, and make
up. Wo havo ono girl who does nothing
but turn bands ot neckties, and she
makes il5 a week. She turns twenty
five or thirty dozen bauds a day,"
Wonderful Feats with Saw.
I havo often read of the wonderful
feats performed by skilled workmen with
tools, such as engraving the Lord's prayer
on tho back ot a silver 3 cent piece or
ma'.nig a steam engine that would stand
on a silver quarter, but I saw some
wonders performed tho other night that
surpassed them all. All tho minute
articles manufactured heretofore have
been mado with small tools, and in somo
cases with tho aid ot a microscope, but
thero is a man in the Sea Neach Palaco
exposition on Coney island, who works
out the most delicate articles with a
bund-saw nineteen feet long and revolv
ing at the rato of over a mile a minute.
Upon this immenso machine the skilled
operator in my presence sawed out four
chairs, all complete with legs and backs,
but so small that the four were placed
on the end of a lead pencil at ono timo.
Then a do.en knives and forks of the
most diminutive size wero made and
placed around the lead pencil. So small
were they that although tho entire dozen
wero placed round the lead pencil not
one ot them touched the other. Then
the operator trimmed his finger nails on
tho huge saw as cleverly and easily as
ono could do it with a penknife. Wet
ting his thumb, he pressed the ball of it
into fouio sawdust and then tawed tho
i-awdust oil' the thumb without scratch
ing the skin, yet a tingle nervous twitch
of tho arm would have cost him a hand.
All sorts of curious puzzles are turned
out with astonishing nipiditv from all
sorts of mitshapen blocks" of wood.
I.ven articles ol clothing, as thin and
flexible as cloth, are worked out by this
magician fiotu little pieces of wood with
h s big saw. Tho cap ho works in was
Lawed out of over lnOO pieces of wood,
no two of which aro the same size or
ohape. Urooklyn Eagle.
Itul.lau Tea Drinking.
The Nussians aro a nation of tea-drinkers
; cotl'eo is rare j tea is universal, and
universally good. The bast tea I ever
drank was in Nussia; they drink it at all
hours, and without regard to quantity
sometimes ten cups at a sitting, and yet,
apparently, with impunity,
Nrass urns, m which tea-water is boiled
by means ot a charcoal fire, aro found
over all tho Kmpire. They aro called
samovars, and I found it important to
include in my Hussian vocabulary tho
word "samovar." Their method of mak
ing and drinking tea has been noticed bv
all travelers in their country.
They claim that water nt tho boiling
point is destructive to tho good qualities
of tea, sq they draw their tea willi water
just below that point. They use thin
glass tumblers, with ordinary s.iucers;
sometimes the women use cups, but tho
men novcr; the tea is poured into tho
saucers, which are held on tho upturned
ends ot tho thumb and fingers of tho
right hand; milk and croaui aro rarely
used ; a block ol cut sugar is held in tho
left hand, from which thoy nibble pieces,
as they slowly sin their delicious, wine
colored tea, '
The Terrier and the Coyote,
Wo havo a dog a yaller dog and tho
way we have bragged on that dog ami
his fighting qualities will, wo fear, prove
a bar to our passage through the pearly
gates. Wo havo told his pedigree and
ollered to back him against uny other
pup in the valley ; in fad, our assurance
has staved oil' many a battle ; but. ulas,
our pride in that direction has vanished.
While riding forth in the sage-brush
country tho other day wo noticed a small
coyote dogging our tracks; wo proceeded
lo dog him, when something peculiar
happened. The yellow terrier com
menced to pivot around a large, low bush
with tho coyote in hard pursuit. Well,
now, you Bee, a coyote can beat a cyclone
In H!l,ail. unit nnK tnnlr almtil ti'i fr,,.,.L.
before he gained on tho dog enough to
tako a piece of meat out ot Ids hind leg.
To say that the terrier was astonished is
to put It light. He fell over himself sev
eral times, hauled down the flag, and
.ought tho shelter of tho horse. That
i blamed coyote followed us for two miles,
j intent on a tight, but ho did not get it.
Kids will be received at our olllce for tho
terrier,
Last year we mado in this country
over sixteen millions of barrels of beer.
This, at tho usual retail rate of thirty dol
I lars per barrel, comes to more than $100,
i 000,000, which tho peoplo pay out for
their beer, Already wo average eighty
four glaw-es of beer for every man, woman
and child lu the country ; and the average
is Increasing, and the number of drinkers
is increasing.

iVailungton Post,
Art Kducatlou for Yu"icn.
"Since cultivation of art must be bred
into people, and Blowly assimilated by
them, says Mary A. Livermore, "it is a
matter of congratulation that in so many
American cities, a movement for indust
rial art education has been well begun.
"Tho woman . who has a thorough art
education cm to-day easily find employ
ment. The demand for art teachers is in
excess of tho supply. Eighteen young
lauies wno grauuaieu irom a school ot
design in ono of our Eastern cities found
immediate and lucrative employment.
Occupation in the useful and ornamental
arts will give to the rising ambition and
talent of American girls a largo and
noble scope.
"There is an unworked mlna of untold
wealth among us, says Professor Walter
Smith, In the art education of women.
Wo could utilize much human life, not
now profitably occuided, by educating
anil employing wotnun as teachers of art.
Thero are also many branches of art
workmanship, requiring delicate fingers
and nativo readiness of taste, which
could bo better performed by women
than men. Thero is, therefore, for
young women obliged to think for self
support, a large and hopeful future. In
dustrial art furnishes them with a fit
ting for many kinds of employment,
pleasant and profitable, lalior well suited
to their tastes, their strength, and capaci
ty. They must bo willing to elevate
tneir standard of preparation ; must bo
content to serve a long and sometimes
laborious apprenticeship to their various
profea-ions.
"No investment of funds will yield so
largo an interest to nn American citv as
the money given to found technical nnd
industrial schools, whero gifted and
promising girls can bo trained for such
occupations at small expenso to them
selves. Their commercial value, alone,
should give them practical importance
in any community. And as an in
dustrial art and lino art, have, in th
main, too samo elementary basis, what
ever promotes tho former must aid tho
latter directly or indirectly; and thus
tho public taste will bo elevated, and tho
public judgment of art-matters educated.
"I havo emphasized tho need and
value of art-education for women, be
causo of the deficiency in this respect in
our present bchool systems; and because
it oners to tho ambition of w onion an al
most limitless help, not crowded with
applicants, as Is tho profession of teach-ipg-
"And when, in addition, a New Eng
land manufacturer makes the statement
that the designs used in his factory cost
forty thousand dollars yearly, every dol
lar of which goes to England, Franco,
and Germany, and that the same design
might have been mado within a mile ut
his mil) (or five thousand dollars, it an
art-school had been maintained there foi

for the conviction that tho technical
schools and schools of design, already
doing such good work, will ho increased

This bridge Is sixty-flve feet long and (if
teen feet wido at the narrowest ioint. It
consists ot tough grit rock, under which
tho softer sandstones have been worn
away to a depth of twentv-flve to forty
feet beneath the arch. Near by Is a

"Fadt" and "FailuiaU."
A word that is often heard in English
political talk is "fad". It has hardly yet
found its way into tho dictionaries, but
"fads" are many, and "faddists" and "fad
mongem" abound. Mr. Sala has sug-
gusiuu uiai me wuru is a corruption OI
"fuddle," to dandle in French, doriotor.
A "faddist" Is continually dandling and
caressing his "fad." It is more probably
ft contraction ol "fidfad," a word that has
been long in usa with much tho samo
meaning as "fad." Edward Moore, writ
ing in The World in 1754, applies tho
word to a very precise person "Tho
youngest, who thinks in her heart that
her sister is no better than a slattern, runs
into the contrary extreme, and is, in
everything sho does, an absolute fidfad."
From "fidtad" in this sense to tho modem
"(ad" and "(addist" is not a vciy violent
transition. The tendency to abbrevia
tion is very general. iomf Journal.
Kitnylng the Knock Out mow.
"The reason why so many pugilists aro
breaking their arms in fights," said a
local boxer, "is found in theii crazy reck
lessness to get in a knock out blow. This
blow is aimed at the ju.'ular vein, and
the pugilist, in attempting to accomplish
this feat, often strikes too high, driving
his hand with t"rri!lc force ngninst his
opponent's skull and snapping tho b.g;
bono in his wrist tis thu h it were a
pipe stem. It often h.iiip 'iis, too, that
tho pugilist essaying thu knock out blow
drives his hand against his oppon"iit's
elbow, whicn has been throw u up as a
guard, This proves almost as disastrous
to tho nggressur as tho cranium hit. It
is timo that this swinging knock out blow
was discarded. A straight punch from
tho shoulder was good enough (or tho old
timers. Jt ought to bo good enough
now."
