"Well, the outcome oti't was that the

their d.H.r one night, and out she got.
Jane had just come to the d.M.r with
the baby in her arms. Hod was bring
ing in the milk.
" 'What are you here for?' demanded
Mrs I.urvey. looking cross enough to
si.an the irirl s head off. 'Tut on your
, -
things and go home.
" -You won't do any such thing,
Jane,' commanded Hod, firmly 'I
hired you to work here, and here
you'll stay till after harvesting,' and
"he tookeii his wife full in the face, like
one who meant to le master.
"Ti.Mi- b.l it back and forth for a
week, Jane told me, before Mrs.
I.urvey would give him a mite of
jieace, but Hod was as firm as a rock.
She might go or stay, as she chose, but
be was going to be master iu bis own
house, liut such a life as she led him!
'We was afraid Hod couldn't stand
the pressure, and if he yielded an inch
he was lost. If only he could W got j
out from that everlasting nagging
til he got more self-assertion.
" 'Why not send htm to the legisla
ture?" asked my wife.
" 'Why. he don't know the first thing
al.ut politics,' sez I. 'We want some
lK.dy to do credit tu the town. Hd
hain't Wen out to town mcct'in' since
he t.K.k the freeman's oath, twenty odd
year ago.'
"Kill wife said things could n t go so
badly to rack and ruin at the state
house as they was going at Tick Kidge.
even if he did vote the w rong way. and
the only thing that would really help
Hod was to show Mrs. I.urvey that
some folks resiR-eted his opinions, if she
didn't.
" -It would Ik- more credit to T.rod
ick to save llod I.urvey than to send
the smartest man in town," sez she,
and we couldn't disagree with her.
"Well, we talked it up one si.le and
down the other at the caucus. Kafe
Willey. who had Ik-cii representative
for five years, and of course e-cted
to Ik- a.'-.iin. said he 'nuff sight ruther
Hoil should have it. and would work
for hi ni. There was no danger but we
could carry the town easy enough.
There waru't a man. far nor near, but
would give all bis old hats to get even
with Mrs. I.urvey.
"Hod did not know what was up. but

cross lots, and go down with me. W hen
I went out to the barn that morning

I fed aroun.l. then made tracks for
here. 1 guess I might as well give up
fust as last. It will have to come. I
don't believe that man lives who could
stand up against her vybeti she gets iu
a rage.'
"You're tired and hungry, sez I;
'come in to breakfast, then we'll talk
things over.'
"1 don't suppose I was as sympathet
ic as I might have Ik-cii, for if there's
anything under the sun that riles me
it is to have a man under a woman's
thumb.
"It took some argufying to screw his
courage up to the pint of buying a sec
ond suit of clothes, but be done it; and
there waru't a sprucer looking nan at
town meeting that day than llosea
I.urvey. We bad agreed to stop calling
him Hod and to call him llosea or Mr.
I.urvey, to see if that wouldn't prop
up his self-respect a little.
"He voted tat- straight ti.-ket
through till they come to town repre
sentative; then his name was proposed
and w as greeted with such a cheer t hat
the moderator said it was a waste of
time to ballot and we'd elect him
bv acclamation. Tin n we escorted
him home in tine style.
"Mrs. I.urvey come to the door all
primed and loaded to give him a
Scotch blessing, and was some took
back to see so many of us. I'ol. Hook
er stepped forward and sez, sez be:
"Allow me. madam, to iutrojueeto
ye our new representative, llosea I.ur
vey, of Itrodick, Ksij."
" "You've bit it right for once,' she
answered. 'If there's an K-s-q. any
where it ain't Hod I.urvey that deserves
the title, and I ain't overly sure that
I'.rodick does, either, if it's made such
a fool of itself. Waal. Mr. I.urvey. of
I'.rodick. l-.s... making him a mock

little account to settle with ye.'
"'Thank ye kindly, but I promised to
go dow n to the colonel's to supper," sez
he. Wc only come up to tell ye the
news.' Then how- we cheered for our
new representative.
"That night the hull town turned
out to serenade him, and on one pre
text or another he warn't alone much
for the next few days.
"He hired Nathan Simpson to run
the farm whilst he was gone, and
told Iii m what to do and how to do it.
Mrs. I.urvey might as well have tried
to drive a mule as t-i make Nate go
agin Mosea's orders. There was differ
ent works at Tick Kidge from that
time.
"You never see how llosea improved
when once he had a chance, lie took
right holt of polities as though he bad
been brought up to 'em ail his life and
it warn't long Ik fore he had the rcp
ertation of lieing alnuit as shrewd as
they make "em.

succeeded, and he was going home to

"He has got one of the finest stock
farms iu the state, and has things in a
different style from any I'.rodick has
ever had afore. He's makin' money
faster'u any other man at Tick Kidge
and spends more. too. That is where
his independence shows itself most, for
Mrs. I.urvey is tighter than the bark
to a tree, and keeps sav ingtliey will lie
on the town yet. Well, if they lie,
we'll help "em out with a deal lietter
grace than if Hod had never proved
himself a man. The Inns have grown
up fine, steady young men, and the gal
is one to lie proud of.

WORK.
The ;rnt
Kalis as a l.rnfrnlor of Kle-
trli-liy.
The first of the fi vet housan.l horse
power dynamos of the Niagara Tower
company has lieeii turned on and the
siiccesss of the great toleration has In-en
satisfactorily demonstrated. The ex
periment was made in the presence of
one hundred and fifty inemliers of the
American Institute of Kiigim-crs.
As certain parts of the machinery
were not yet coiiiulctc.I. says the Thila
tlelphia Kecor.l, it was thought lest
not to run the dynamo with the full
l.ia.l of live thousand horse mwi-r, but
upwards of three thousand horse-jiower
w as dev eloped, and it w as demons! rated
to the satisfaction of all the experts
that all lhat has been iiiapjK-d out for
this mammoth enterprise will lie ful
filled to t he letter.
After the test the electrical engineers
were enthusiastic over what they bad
seen.
Mr. l.ouis Duncan, president of the
American Institute of Klectrical Kn
giueers. said:
"What we have seen here to-ilay sets
at rest any doubt that might hitherto
have existed ill the mind of any man as
to the success of this undertaking. It
is certainly the greatest feat of elec
triciil engineering iu the world, and
tb- test to-day is a demonstration that
it will prove all that has been claimed
for it. The machinery worked niar
vcloiislv well, better than any steam
machinery. In fact, there remains
nothing more to be done in the way of
demonstrating the complete success of
the work except transmission. It is
only necessary now to increase the
dynamos and the power is ready. Niag
ara has at last been harnessed, sind is
now waitiutr to be bitched up."
Tiie tpiest ion of the transmission of
the tower has ticeii thoroughly lis
cussed here. It is the opinion of all
the ei.v'nieers that the power will in
a short time be sent to all jM.ints within
a radius of twenty miles from the falls.
They sa - t he question of transmission
has been demonstrated iu other coun
tries to be successful. It is the general
opinion that in a brief period power will
be sent from here to all the surrounding
towns for less money than it can le
pr.Mliieed I.K-ally by steam.
It is estimated that twenty thousand
horse-power can be sent to l.uffalo.

We learn from French sources that a
London jH-rfuiner has found a uew way
of fixing up eyelashes and eyebrow s. In
stead of painting them in the usual vul
gar old sty le he puts the genuine old arti
cle there, and professional and amateur
beauties of the great city are Hocking to
him tolie made just too lovely for any
thing. The operation is said to Is- ex
tremely delicate, though by no means
painful. He takes a hair from the head of
the beauty, or, if she docs not like pre
cisely the color of her own hair, he takes
one of any other color that she likes,
threads an extremely tine n -edle w ith
the hair, runs it alongside the skin of
the eyelid, sew lug sailmakers iasui.ui.
but leaving the hops sufficient ly long
to enable him to cut them afterward,
so that th-y will form a range of lieju
tiful fringe and look la-rfectly natural.
For eyebrow a he does the same t hing;
liut the eyebrow operation is, of course,
less delicate. Arched eyebrows, bushy
eyebrows, straight eyebrow, .-r.-ikol
eyebrows, all sorts of eyebrows, iu any
color or shade or form, this wonderful
perfumer makes for the ladies of Lou
don; and it is said that his success is
something astonishing.

among theui may be noted one that oc

it was two o'clock, but tin hastily
dressing and going down to the dining
room they found breakfast ready and
waiting for them. They were greatly
alarmed at the conditiou of things, for
they at first imagined that the hired

a few minutes, however, they discov

Siime interesting and valuable in
formation regarding the color ai-d visi
bility of the lights at sea has lieeii pub
lished by the naval hvdrographic office
as a result of sjiecial investigations
undertaken by officers of this govern
ment, tlermaiiy and the Netherlands.
A marine observatory in tlerinany in
this connection tested some three thou
sand running lights actually in use on
lioard ships and found that twae-thirils
of them failed to meet condition pre-
scrilied by the international maritime
conference held in Washington in I '..
It was then stipulated, says a Wash
ington letter to the llaltimore Sun. that
the word 'visible" should mean visible
oil a (lark niglll won a ririrauii.-
phere. The tiermaus have further
pursued the inquiry by a systematic
series tif experiments. Alight was set
up on shore and observers rtiiUirkcl
on lioard a steamer w hich ran over a
well-buoyed course. The jtoiiit at
which the light ceased to Ik- visible
was noted bv each observer iii.lciicii.l-
eutly, as well as the tioiiit at which it
first apiicared on the return trip. 1 he
mean of the several observations w as
taken as the limit of visibility of the
light under obscrvat ion. The naval
hvdrographic office sends out the fol
lowing: The American experiments under
taken at Iuig Beach light station gave
the following results in very clear
weather. A light of 1-caiidle jaivver
was plainly visible at 1 nautical mile, i
and one of o-candle mer at "J miles. A
10-candlc power light was visible w it h
a binocular at -I miles, one of -". can
dles faintly at .' and one of o:; candles
without difficulty at the same distance,
tin a second eveuing. exceptionally
clear, a white light of "...i -candle pmi-r
could readily be distinguished at :'..
one of 5.tt at - and one of 17. v! at a miles.
The govern mental exiicriuiciit con
ducted at Amsterdam gave the follow
ing results: A light of 1-eaudle iwer
was visible at 1 nautical mile, U.5 at -1
and Iii at 5 miles.
The tlerniau observations represent
more varied conditions and a large
tiumlierof experiments with lights of
widely-different character and inten-
In experiments with colored lights it
is only uecessary to use the green, as
it has lieen conclusively proved that if
a light of that color fulfills the required
tests, a red one of the same intensity
will more than do so. t " imparls.. ns of
the observed and computed values of
the visibilities of green lights disclose
the fact that the calculated are smaller
than the observeii for short distances,
and greater for long ones; in other
words, the green rays are subject to
greater absorption by the atui.ispbere.
even when perfectly clear, than rays of
w hite light. Hence it is that instead of
being projiortioiial to the tquareof root
caudle lower, as in the case of white
lights, the intensity of green lights is
proportional to the culc root of the
same, and the factor for multiplying
this quantity is, as determined by tier
....... .viwrinieiit. (l.sU. the distance iu
miles at which a green light or a single
candle power is just visible.
From this rule the candle jaiwer re
quired for a green light to Ik- visible at
one. two. three and four nautical miles
is two, fifteen, tifty-one and one hun
dred and six rcsiiectivcly. The experi
ments at Long lleach cited alm.v trace
for green light 3.3 candle jiowcr tairiy
visible at one mile, and "J. 5 clearly at
two miles, these results, however. 1h--ing
from a limited iiuiiiIkt of exiiori
ments. The tiermau trials were much
more numerous.
The extraordinary rapid diminution
of Ihe visibility of the green light with
the distance, even in good observing
weather, and the still more rapid tie
crease iu rainy weather of a character
which w ill but slightly diminish the in
tensity of a white light, show that it is
of the utmost imjairtance to select for
the glass a shade of color which w ill
interfere w ith the intensity of the light
as little as possible. The shade recom
mended is pale blue-green. Yellow -UTceu
and grass-green should not Ik-
employed, as they liecome indistin
guishable from white at a very short
distance. For the red a eonsiderabl y
wider range is allowable, but a cop
pery red is probably the In-st.
With regard to the hiss which the
light suffers in Wing transmitted by
the glass, tests made show that this va
ries from fourteen ler cent, in the ease
of a perfectly clean glass to fifty-one
per cent, in the case of one iu the
smoky couditiou due to a night's burning.
