TRAVERS, pretending to rinse plates in the river Thames, looked perpetually to- . ward Miss Daisy Middleton Industrl - oasly engaged in packing dishes. Over the meadow the rest of tJie picnic party was dotted, mainly In pairs, as ia pleas ant to look upon at a picnic. If the truth were known, Mr. Travers was pleased to see Miss Middleton sternly packing, for of late she had seemed to bestow too much of the honey of ber smiles upon a certain bee (to give bim no worse title) of the mime of Con greve; and Miss Middleton was re joiced to see Mr. Travers pretending to rinse, since she had a certain unde fined objection to hear his praises sung by others of her sex -as recently. People entertaining such approximate sentiments have no business to be sep arated by a distance of at least twenty yards. So at any rate Mr. Travers thought, for he left the meadow sweets that sucked In the eddying stream be hind him, and, bearing the cleaned plates as a peace offering in his hand, approached the lady. Miss Middleton lifted her eyes out of I "iHU, SCPPOSB THE GIRL SAID SO?" I I a hamper, and, perceiving his humility, smiled. "With lingers weary and worn," he began, "and eyelids heavy and red as you perceive Miss Middleton a man answering to the name of Travers has been standing in mid-stream more or less mid on an undeniably rickety tone for half an hour torrents foam ing about bim fatal plunge imminent and has rinsed picnic plates till he could no more." "During which time," she asked, "he broke how many?" "That Is hardly generous," said Mr. Travers, gravely. "How many exactly I started with I misremember. One 1 admit It 'came to pieces In my hand,' as the kitchen maids say. Another I was compelled, morally and Intellectu ally, to throw at a grasshopper that came up impertinently to sniff the mayonnaise. A 6aucer or two, by na ture amphibious, started down stream. But what would you? I have four here as clean " "And I gave you eleven," said Miss Middleton, sternly. "It's better than picking daisies, like Congreve," said Mr. Travers, slyly. "Would you like to clean some knives?" she asked, willing to change the subject. "They don't break so easily, and we shall want some for tea." "It's no relaxation cleaning things that don't break." said Mr. Travers, discontentedly. "You Intend simply to be idle till tea?" she asked, scornfully. "If you think I deserve a little recrea tion for cleaning all those plates," be aid. "Breaking tbemr "Let us split the difference and say laving them." "You crack a joke and a plate in the same breath," she said. "Don't you think I might take you out in that canoe?" he persisted. "It's rather late." she said, doubt fully. "We might find some of the floating saucers," he urged. "The grasshopper Sot on one and was piloting it mag nificently." "But canoes are so unsafe. Perhaps, If Miss Maltby would come with us. It would be steadier." 1 thought that the Choctaw hinted Mlsa Middleton. weU phased with herself. "Oh, yea, that's all nonsense," ka said, distractedly. "I should say I'm talking nonsense now. What I mean was, that if five people were In It, It couldn't be safer." "It does sound rather nonsense," said Miss Middleton, unmercifully. It Is not clear why maidens at these critical times are so much mors apt to keep their heads than are men. Mr. Travers thought it a hard dispensation of nature, and sought refuge from his distraction by Jogging the canoe. "Aren't we shaking terribly T asked Miss Middleton. "Not at all," be answered. "Canoes seem so. very frail," she ex plained. "A girl I knew." said Mr. Travers, thoughtfully, "used to tell me that she was quite nervous until she had tried a canoe, but in the end she thought them otherwise. She even wanted to get engaged in a canoe." - "Did you gratify her wish?" asked Miss Middleton, with a rush of dignity. "The girl was my mother, yon know," said Mr. Travers, scenting a mistake. "It was a reminiscence of hers. She was wondering how I should some day " "Yes, yes don't you think we ought to be going back?" asked Miss Middle ton. , "I should like to know your opinion of a boat as a popping jlaee," he persisted. Miss Middleton supposed that s square, solid sort of boat is the style of Noah's...-!; guaranteed not to up set might not be unsuitable.. "But you would not approve of a canoe?" be asked. "It would rock so terribly," she said. "Why should it rock?" "Suppose." she said, "the man want ed to go down on his knees just to emphasize his wishes that would set it roiling to begin with." Mr. Travers was willing to entertain that supposition. "Then suppose the girl said 'No? Mr. Travers preferred not to suppose anything unpleasant. "Still, if she did." said Miss Middle ton. "the man would start up In a very sad temper and begin stumping about.' Mr. Travers was positive that no man would be guilty of such conduct. Miss Middleton failed to see how Mr. Trav ers could answer for men in geueral. Mr. Travers admitted that he was thinking cf a particular case, which caused Miss Middleton to goon hastily: "Then, again. If the girl didn't say 'No,' she would probably expect " "What?" asked Mr. Travers. Miss Middleton had unfortunately forgotten the sequence of her sentence. "But I must know, Daisy," he said, earnestly. He ceased to paddle, and the canoe began to roll. "Would she expect " Continuous was the rolling of the canoe. "We shall be over, I'm sure," sold Miss Middleton "please yes yes yes " "At any rate the man expects " said Mr. Travers. and the rolling con tinued. When some time later the canoe re returned to the meadow from which it had started, the the voyagers were grieved to perceive the tea was already almost finished. The others observed that punctuality was particularly im Iortant at a picnic. Mr.- Congreve especially insisted on this. "You shouldn't have been making daisy-chains, Congreve," said Mr. Trav ers. irrelevantly. "What does he mean?" Mr. Congreve appealed to Miss Middleton for a solu tion. "Mr. Travers has also been making daisy-chains," she said.

"Mother! mother! there's something In my eye; please take it out quick!" Flossy came hurrying to. her mother's room. Her blue eyes were bloodsboot, her eyelids swollen, and tears were running down ber cheeks. "Why, what Is It?" asked ber moth er, as she put her arm around the child. "I don't know; it's an awful big thing; the wind blew It In my eye a minute ago." The mother examined the afflicted eye carefully,' but could find nothing ex cept tears. "I don't see anything in it, dearie." "But it Is there, mother; please do get It out It makes me - so uncomfort able." The mother looked again, then she bathed the hurt eye with warm water and told Flossy to keep it closed for a time, but the poor eye did not get any better. Something was in It; some thing as big as a marble. Flossy thought. ' "V.'eii, Flossy, I think we bad better go to Dr. Wright and aee what be can do," said her mother, after trying ev erything that she could think of for the relief of her little daughter.

"Ah!" said the doctor, and In an In stant be held his instrument toward her; "here It is!" "Where?' asked the mother, "I don't see anything." I don't either," said Flossy, "but my eye does not hurt any longer." "It's Just a tiny speck of sand." re plied the de-tor. "too small to see, un less you know where to look for It." Some days after this Flossy was fidgeting alout the room where her mother was sewing. It was rainy weather out of doors, and Flossy was in a bad humor nothing pleased her. "Please don't. Flossy," said her moth er, over and over again. "You make me very uncomfortable. If you do not stop worrying you must go away by yourself." Flossy sat down by the window pout ing.

'I dare not touch it!" cried Snowball, "Neither shall I!" cried Tet. And it won't be me!" cried little Pee Wee. They were all in a terrible fret. This was a distinctly unkind reflec tion on Miss Maltby, whose attractions, in the opinion of many, were not de tracted from by her weight. Mr. Trav ers, however, saw light in the unkind ness. and willingly sacrificed a victim. "Without in any way wishing to deny themeritsof MissMaltby," he said, "she would add more than a feather-weight. Besides, In adopting an Invention like canoes, from the Choctaws, one must conform to their custom." "Which is?' asked Miss Ml -Idle ton. "Based on the tribal motto 'Two's company.' The canoes were construct ed accordingly, and only hold two." "Then there would not be room for Mr. Congreve?" she asked. "I fancied he was making daisy chains," said Mr. Travers. Now, if Miss Middleton had been ad verse to the voyage, this foolish re mark would have left Mr. Travers soli tary. But she was not. She suffered herself to be constrained not too read ily. Yet since, when once the canoe was launched. Mr. Travers seemed to sink into abstraction. Miss Middleton took up the ball. Since this Is the very simplest story, devoid of Incident ot criticism. It Is sufficient to say of Miss MIddleton's conduct, "such is life," and to report her remarks. "You'll be very careful, won't you?' she said. "I'm like a cat very fright ened of water." "What cat's averse to fish?" quoted Mr. ' Travers, irrelevantly. "That Is I mean I wouldn't let a drop of water touch you for what I really mean is, the canoe's perfectly safe. It . would bold five with ease." Fuel Supply of the Dominion Ia Prac tically Inexhaustible. The best authorities say there are 100.000 acres of undeveloped peatbog In Ontario, principally in the counties of Perth, Welland and Essex. The largest area lies in the county of Perth, eight miles north of the city of Strat-1 ford, on the Grand Trunk Railway. Here is a swamp of 40.000 acres, with a depth of peat bog that varies from a foot to twenty feet. About a year ago the Canadian Peat Fuel Company was organized and early in the summer active operations to put the fuel on the market began. The process of manufacture is as fol lows: The peat is cut and air-dried, after which it Is pulverized by being passed through a picker, and automat ically deposited in a hopper which feeds a steel tube about two inches In diameter and fifteen inches long. The pulverized peat is forced through this tube by pressure and formed Into cylin drical blocks three inches In length and almost equal in density to anthracite coal. The fuel is non-friable and weather-proof by reason of Its solidity and the extreme glaze imparted to it by frictional contact with forming dies. The inherent moisture of the peat is re duced to 12 per cent, of the mass. In weight It compares with coal as fol lows: Eighty-three pounds per cubic foot of peat equal seventy-three pounds of bituminous or ninety-three pounds of anthracite coal. It is claimed for peat that it Is supe rior to coal in its absolute freedom I from sulphur and the absence of : smoke, soot, dust and clinkers during i consumption. In a great measure this I solves the problem of furnishing a cheap, clean, uniform and reliable fuel for all domestic purposes, as It Is equal ly serviceable for grates, stoves, cook ing ranges and furnaces, giving a long, bright flame and Intense heat almost from the moment of ignition. It has lieen tested in locomotives with excel- I lent results, showing that the thermal value of 100 pounds of peat Is equal to 05.15 pounds of coal. It was also tried at the power-house of the Metropolitan Street Railway, Toronto, and gave great satisfaction. The heat produced was much greater than that of the coal, but it was 8 per cent, deficient In last ing power. It requires but little draught and burns best in a shallow fire box. The machinery used in manufactur ing peat fuel is not expensive and re- Proflts from Butterflies and Beetles. Mary Yeomans, an Englishwoman now living in California, makes money by catching butterflies. She had some knowledge of the different varieties when she went to the Pacific Slope. One day a flock of pansylike butterflies hovered over her for a moment, and then flew up the mountain side. She thought she recognized a rare and val uable species only known In the higher Alps. She followed these honey-loving beauties up the mountain and cap tured a goodly number of them. She painted a fac simile of one In water colors and sent the sketch to London. The result was an order for twenty-live of the butterflies, for which she re ceived $575. Miss Yeomans has a uursery for beetles In ber cellar. Dr. Le Fontain, who came from France to study the Insects of California, taught her much about insects and was en thusiastic over ber enterprise. Miss Yeomans finds a great demand for beetles as well as for butterflies. Woman's Journal. oured thorn.

From Lord Koberts' speeches ou 'Musketry Training and Artillery Practice:" The Introduction of rilled arms altered all this (barrack drill), but it took some time to bring about the required change In the soldiers' train ing.'" Officers who had been brought up in the old school clung to drill con stant drill as tbe only means by whicb a soldier could be made efficient; they failed to appreciate the power of the rifle, nor could they understand the necessity for more time being spent on the range to admit of their men being taught to make "bull's-eyes" with tol erable certainty at a distance of half a mile or more. I must not be mistaken about drill drill Is an esentlal part of discipline; it makes tbe soldier under stand how to obey the word of com maud; but there is this difference be tween tbe drill of the past and the present. Formerly the Idea was to make the men act In a compact body tinder the Immediate command of the commanding officer, and musketry was looked upon merely as a minor sort of adjunct. Nowadays to keep a regiment in close formation once the zoue of fire is entered would be to court disaster. Men are taught to fight In loose order, and to depend In a great degree on their own selves, and in all this tbe prime csover is musketry. I" .a 11--111 Positively cures wmgha.
