He angrily asked the manager who she was. ** Eleanor Eliot is the name she gave,” was the answer. *‘‘ She seems above her position, however,’ and she does her work very well.” Mr. Falconer almost said, “1 don’t wish her here any longer;” then some- thing—an undefinable feeling—checked the words on his lips; he had to * dree his weird.” After a while he took to coming to the mill every day, and occasionally walked through the long rooms full of busy men and women. Once he stopped at Eleanor Eliot's side, and gravely discussed some fabric with the manager, noticing absently the pretty contour of the small, bent head, nd the slender, well kept fingers. An irresistible desire seized him to make her look up. Bending down, he stretched out his hand, and suddenly— how it happened no one could tell—his hand was caught in the machinery. In an instant all was confusion; in an in- stant the works were stopped, the wounded member extricated, but all bruised and bleeding. Eleanor’s fingers bound up the lacer- ated hand in her own small handker- chief, the master thanking her cour- teously; then he drove away in his fine earringe, and @id not come to the mill for several days. Some time after the mill operatives had a half-holiday. Mr. Falconer, rid- ing slowly through the woods near his house, noticed the flutter of a woman's ress, rode closer, and saw the outline of a figure ; then galloping to the stables, left his horse, and walked rapidly in the direction of the light dress. Nor was he mistaken. Under the shade of a wide-spreading tree, her hat off, her lap full of early wild flowers, the sunlight falling through the leaves on her bonny brown hair, sat Eleanor Eliot. A small boy, about two years old, lay with his head in her lap, laugh- lentiess force. Mr. Falconer returned from abroad and with a rapidly organized committee, going from house wo house, from death- bed to deathbed, without fear of con- | agion, spurred on by an accusing con- science, the words * many souls will be | hurried into eternity, snd you will have | to answer for them,” ringing in his ears. At last the current of the disease was | turned, the fever abated, and measures were immediately set on foot for the | improvement of houses and drainage, when Mr. Falconer was struck down. | For weeks his life lay in the balance, the whole barden of his delirium being, “And I must answer for them.” But | God was merciful, and slowly Gilbert | drifted back to life and its responsibili ties. Lying back in an easy-chair, pale, but | on the high road to recovery, one day | he heard a name which sent the blood bounding to his heart - a name which he | had not been able to forget. His aunt was talking to a ls at the other end of the room. ** Eleanor Eliot is one of the sweetest, noblest girls I ever knew or heard of,” Lady Hargrave was saying, enthusiasti- cally. * Her father was a clergyman, and dying, left her and a young brother almost destitute; there was just enough money left after everything was settled to finish the boy's education, and the dear, brave girl would not let them tell the young fellow how much it was, and has Lon him at school ever since, and has been working hard, very hard, I be- lieve, though I don’t know at what, and he does not yet know how badly off his poor sister is. She is distantly related to the Honorable Mrs. Audley, and she asked me to look out for some position for the dear girl.” “I think I know of u position that might suit her,” said the visitor, *‘ my sister is looking for a governess for her two little girls, and, of course, Miss Eliot being so well recommended, she mightsuit her.” “I'll give you the address.” Then Gilbert waited impatiently, while his aunt rung the bell. and Parker was dispatched to find Mrs. Audley’s letter; then there was a hunt for her ladyship’s eyeglasses.

With a long, lean head, wide throttle and powerful neck, well set on to sloping shoulders, no fault could be found with her forehand. Her depth through the girth is immense, and her back is as level as a billiard table. The muscular Jrope;- 16 gets that propelling power that has borne her extended is perfection and her stride she tucks her hind Her temper, too, is perfect, but having the mare has naturally a few whims and peculiarities, She is very particu- lar about the water she drinks. On one occasion she flatly refused to drink the water brought to her, nad a cart was sent gome miles to a neighboring town to fetch her some of a different kind, which she was graciously pleased to ap- prove of. Mr. Hesp always takes his own hay and oats with him when he leaves home, in case of being unable to find provender to suit her iadyship. In one race as a two-year-old she was standing when the flag fell, losing fifty yards, but that did not help her oppon- ents at all, At two years old she won ten races; three years old, seventeen; four years old, fifteen ; and five years old, twelve— making fifty-four in all up to this year, There is hardly a sire of note in the English stud book that she does not trace back to. Cold weather or hot, hard tracks or mud, come all alike to her, and traveling in cars on the eve of a race never dimin- ishes her wonderful powers. She is rightly named Kincsem, which, literally interpreted, means darling. New York Sportsman.

When four or five of the monsters combine the de- struction may be terrific, and that among a class who have heretofore deemed themselves safe from the ty- ranny of monopoly or corporation. To- day, in certain speculations, no single man dares to operate alone. The field is left more and more to the few mam- moth millionaires, The small million- aire now begins to feel in some degree the turn of those screws which in times past were only applied to the posessor of a few hundreds or thousands. 5517550 The only instance of leap-year privi- lege yet noticed in this vicinity was that of a woman being seen down town at midnight after her hushand.— Detroit Free Press. careful scrutiny of the face of a lady on the opposite side ot the ear, name of the person she was staring at, longer, she asked : * Ain't you Mary Slawson, that was? { i she had been married since, We “Oh, yes: I remember you well.” “ Ah, I thought you would.

Tam partially deaf myself and naturally sympathetic with those so afflicted, especially with those who are unable to purchase the high- priced audiphones, For the small cost of ten cents what 1 eall an audifan ean be made which will give as good satisfaction as any audi- phone yet invented, I take a common Japanese fau, one | with reed handle and braces entire, cut off about half an inch from the top edge, adjust thereto a small strip of tin bind- ing, four or five inches in length and a quarter of an inch in width when doubled. and clinch the same for mouth- piece. I then give the whole fan one coat of shellac and Jampblack, using enough binck to overcome in part the gloss of the shellac. If one end of a small strip of curved spring brass wire be inserted just over the string that gives tension to the curved wooden brace, so as to rest against it, and the other end is clinched between the edges of the metal binding, the fan will as- sume the proper position and be always ready for use. The fan should be painted and allowed to dry thoroughly before the curved brace is adjusted. The fan can be used without the brace. If the brace is used a strip of narrow silk sho uld be pasted down the center of the fan to protect the paper. Persons who have tried the high-priced audiphones and dentaphones have thrown them aside for my simple contrivance, 1 UNDERNEATH THE HUDSON, The Great Tunnet from Jersey City to New York-llow the Werkmen are Hermetionlly Sealed Under the Barth Eight Hours ata Streteh. | All that ean be seen of thee North | Fiver tunnel thus far is a tremendous { well, smoothly lined with brick, sixty deep, and wide enough to admit an {ordinary dwelling house. This well is | covered by a clumsy wooden shanty, high encugh to admit a derrick, and | big enovgh to hold the two engines and { three boilers, the coal heap, brick pile, | clothes closets and office for the work- men and the company's officers. This { shanty is at the foot of Fifteenth street, | three-quarters of the way from the | Pennsylvania ferry tothe Hoboken line. { It is close to the river's edge, two elty | blocks distant from Provost street, the | thoroughfare nearest the river bank. | The river originally flowed where the shanty is, and underneath the filling is | the original slit. The great well be. neath the shanty is not to be a terminus | of the tunnel. It is simply a starting point which the tunnel shaft is to pierce, {and it was sunk because that was deemed the better way to begin the great work. The tunnel will be worked { back beneath the city more than half a { mile, breaking through the surface be- yond Erie street, and having its absolute terminus and depot in Jersey avenue, { Eventually this well may or may not be closed up, but in either event the tunnel { will pass along through it as it passes any other point in its course. The tun- i nel when completed will be two miles { { length will be directly beneath the bed {of the river. As the river channel is nearest the New York bank and there is 8 wide streteh of shoal water on the Jersey side, there will he 8 continuous | slant from the Jersey shore nearly across the river when a short incline upward will bring the tunne! to the surface in this city. the tunnel will be | surface of the river and about twenty | feet beneath the river bed. The New { York terminus will be in the neighbor. {in this city will be begun near the foot | of Leroy street, which is almost exactly { opposite Fifteenth street in Jersey City. By ordinary means been next to impossible to exeavate a | tunnel through the silt that was en. countemed at the outset, and must be fought the greater part of the way. President Haskins devised the plan of sustaining the earth above the excava-. tion Ly a pressure of air. A powerful pumping engine suppiies this force. For and there are three boilers, because an accident that removed the pressure of air in the shaft would bring about cer [he original plan was to bore one shaft sufficiently wide for a double railroad track and high enough to admit of the passage of ratirond cars. It was found necessary, however, to alter this, and pow the tunnel is composed of two shafis, side by side, like the barrels of a tow ling piece, and strengthened as well as separated by a ceniral partition. These tunnels will each contain a single railroad track, and will be twenty-one feet in diameter, which gives room for a director's palace conch, the taliest of railroad vehicies A to the of great brick well sees what looks like a large boiler protruding from the wall on the river side, and extending sixteen feet toward the center. There is a platform | of boards around it, and there are many tubes and pipes, heaps of bricks, and one steam pump upon the platform. Beneath the platform, which appears to be at the bottom of the well, which is really only half way down, there is a ft sheet of muddy water covering the silt that has been thrown from the tunnel, The protruding boiler is what is known as the air-lock, by which the egress and entrance of the workmen to the tunnel | is accomplished without destroying the {even pressure of sir in the shaft. The Sun reporter saw six men enter the tun. nei ye sterday 0 go Wo work in it, and | presently he saw tour leave it. The six | men were lowered into a wooden bucket, which was swang over the pit | trom the arm of a derrick. Thedoor of | the boiler like air-lock was open; but there is an inner door that was shut, and beyond it, in the tunnel, the pres. | sure of twenty pounds of air to the | square inch was maintained. The men { entered the air-lock and closed the outer i door. The engines equalized the air | pressure in the lock with that in the | tunnel, and then the inner door was | opened and the workmen passed into | the tunnel. It took ten minutes to do | this. Men with heart or lung diseases | could not work under these conditions, | but healthy young men are said to ex. | perience no harm from them. the work progresses farther this pres. sure will have to be doubled. The tour men who desired to come out stepped into the air-lock. closed the door behind them, and signaled the engineer. The ti visitor edge the with s deafening roar, like the esoape of steam from a thousand of the the brown lock, forms cloud frm out A dense rolled out as it thinned of the workmen passing were distinguishable. The reporter was informed that this was the smoke of the eandles, by the light of which the men work in the shaft. Fifteen or eighteen pounds of candles ave consumed by them in a day, and the smoke they create is a great hindrance to the work, although only the very best adamantine conch lights are used. The electric lights, which emit neither smoke nor heat, will soon be used in place of can- dles. One light over the well and one in the shaft will supply all theillnmina~ tion that is needed, Work in the tune nel never ceases, It is proscouted by three gangs, each gang working eight hours. Sometimes the men eat their meals in the shaft, but as often they come out and spend half an hour on the earth's surface. Theirs is not dainty work. The earth that they dig out is mixed with water in the bottom of the shaft, and when it has reached a certain depth and consistency it is blown out into the great brick wel’ by the air pressure in the shaft through pipes that lie at the bottom of thg ex- cavation, and that are built out to fol- low the workmen as they extend the shaft. Whenever it is necessary this mud is bailed out of the bottom of the well to make way for more. As the tunnel is now it has the shape of a gigantic bottle, the air-lock taking the vince of a cork in the bottle's neck. The neck of the bottle is formed by the narrow hore that was gradually widened until the permanent diameter of twenty-one feet was reached. As the excavators work they are closely fal- lowed by men who line the shaft with plates of riveted iron, and these in turn are followed by masons who construct the arched brickwork that forms the tunnel wall. Nearly 100 feet of the permanent tunnel have been completed. No date is set for the beginning of the work on the New York side of the river — New York Sun. rm opened smoke and A veteran pilot has tried some experi- ments that proved that in some lights a greon glass will not make a lamp show green at all, making it clear that even a yilot who passes the color test is no yetter fitted to guide a boat than the most color-blind pilot on the river.

Life in the Transplanted Section of the Flowery Kingdom The Interior of a Chinese Store, The great obstacle in the way of the rrowth of the Chinese population of vew York city at present is he didienity they have in procuring buildings for habitations and business purposes in any desirable part of the town. They are now scattered in all sections of the city, by twos, threes and half dozens, in the laundry business, but their quarter is the lower end of Mott street. There their peculiar institutions flourisn; there thelr stores are; there their fire. cracker and tes-chest lingo is flauntad glaringly upon red paper at almost every door. Here in New York there is not, as yet, any such overcrowding as in San Francisco, yet the manner in which they utilize space is really remarkable. Take Wo Kee's store for example. It is the principal Chinese store on Mott street, consequently the leading one in New York. It contains apparently some- where near a million different things of the most incongruous character here are an infinity of diminutive pasteboard boxes, filled with Chinese medicines— gigantic pills, roots, herbs, barks, seeds and such like.

There are no Chinese liquor shops, and a drenken Chinaman is exceedingly rare, although most of them drink a little beer. They haveno | temple here as yet, and no theater, but | {in course of tiue hope to have both, | when they are here in sufficient num- bers for the support of such institutions. In neither devotional nor histrionicexer- | cises have they avy disposition to favor amateur effort. The one vice most prevalent among them seems to gambling.

There are six flourishing stores on Mott street, dealing almost entirely in imported goods, paying high rents, and | doing a thriving business. Not the | least amusing feature of the transactions | in them is the frequent occurrence of | Chinamen coming in to have reweighed | on the honest seaies of their countrymen | thie small packages of goods purchased | from grocers and other shopkeepers who are not Chinese. They say that it is a rave thing for them to find a pack- age of less than full weight. ** No such business in my store,” said Wo-Kee, proudly. “1 give full weight of all i sell.” There has been two Chinese women here, but one of them started for Havana with her husband.
