Ben Mallory and Jack Downs liar

that short time bad developed a flni:
friendship that only the confidence ol
youth can instill. They were both strnn
gers In the city and brother lawyers in
the same firm, which added to theii
congeniality.
Jack was an only child, adored by his
parents, while Ben was one of a large
family of two marriages, whose place
In his home numerous brothers and sis
ters usurped. lie had been reared by a
wealthy uncle of no family, with whom
he bad lived for years, returning to his
own home once a year for a short vaca
tion. For bis own people he cared
little and seldom spoke of them, not
wishing to explain their strained rela
tions. Yet if Ben Mallory ever truly
loved a being on earth he loved his
aweet little half-sister, Kitty Kempster.
She was now at college, and bad lately
ceased to write to her big, handsome
brother as often as was ber wont.
Ben had not seen Jack Downs since
their talk, though be heard from him
now and then from his borne, whither
he had gone for a rest "I am taking
your advice," he wrote, "but the girl
baffles me. I don't know how to take

I've a mind to make a clean breast of

The next letter said: "Ben, I am free.

heart on my marrying an heiress in
town, bat of the two the little girl suits

"That fellow Is a fool," murmured
as he unfolded a small missive
from home. "He loved that girl and
didn't know It."
Ben smoothed out the paper and read:
"Kitty does not seem happy. The child

8t ib r for Crashing Ice.
The great and powerful ice-crashing
steamers of the lakes are without ex
ception car ferries that is, they trans
port whole trains of passengers and
freight cars from one terminal of a rail
way line to the other, thus controlling
an Important link where bridges would
be Impracticable.
These ice-cballenglng ferries ply the
straits of Mackinac, the Detroit Rivet1
and across Lake Erie from the Ameri
can to the Canadian shore. They are
hug! steel-shod craft weighing several
thousand tons and some of them have
cost more than $350,000 each. Fitted
with propellers at either end. they
crumble the ice by the pressure of their
bulk as though its three or four feet
were but the thickness of a cardboard.
Whatever else Is wanting, adventure
Is not lacking In the lives of the men
who spend the months of snow aboard
the majestic monsters which are to the
lake tracks what the snowplows are to
the railroad lines. A few winters since,
with a thermometer ranging from 18 to
30 degrees below zero, one of the car
ferries was caught In an Immense Ice
field on Lake Erie and floated around
for a few months with a great mass of
Ice piled mountains high around ber. A
portion of the crew was, of course,
obliged to remain aboard and each day
a couple of the men made an attempt
not always successful to go ashore in
order to secure provisions and supplies.
Ofttimes this meant a long, dreary trip
across the ice, and frequently, when a
yawning chasm of dark-hued water in
tervened between the shore and the
edge of the Icefield, the foragers were
not able to return to their imprisoned
comrades for Intervals of several days.

TOLD BY A RETIRED BURGLAR.
Disturbing Experience with a Hestlese
and Nervous Blind Man,
"I have told you," said the retired
burglar, "of one little experience with
a blind man this is another. I had
gone into a not very big but comfortable-looking'
farmhouse and looked
around below without finding any
thing, and got upstairs. I hadn't more'n
struck the upper floor before. I realised
that there wasn't many people In the
house. In the back room on that side,
a big room, with a big bed, I found a
small boy, fast asleep. I didn't dare
put the bull's-eye on bim, but I could
see well enough by a dim light that
was burning on a table In a little alcove
in one side of this room to guess that
he was, maybe, 9 or 10 years old, and
of course I could see that he was sleep
ing in his mother's bed.
"Nothing in that room, and 1 went
out and across the hall into a room on
the other side opposite the room the
boy was in. The first step I took into
that room made the floor creak. Just the
least little bit in the world, but I bait
ed, right where I stood; and the next
instant I beard a bed in this room snap
a little, and 1 knew there was some
body sitting up In It and listening. It
was still for balf a minute, and then
I heard whoever it was in the bed, and
It was a man's voice, saying:
" 'Willier
"Of course there wasn't any answer
to this, because Willie was fast asleep;
I'd Just seen bim in bed a minute be
fore myself; but the man that was sit
ting up in bed and listening called
again:
- 'Wlllier
"When he got no answer this time.
Lue started to get up, as I expected be
would, and jrhen he made the bed
creak in getting out of It I stepped back
a step and around the door Jamb and
hugged the wall In the hall, and In a
minute the man came through the door
way. He was as blind as a bat. I
couldn't see that, in that light In bis
eyes, but I could see it in his manner
and way of moving, in the way he car
ried his head and his bands; but she
made straight for Willie's room. Just
as well as though he could see perfect
ly; the blind man was going to look
after Willie.
"And he got In there all right and
found the boy all right I don't know
how he told it. The door t bis own
room was almost directly opposite the
door of the room where the boy was.
A little toward the front of the bouse
from his own door was the head of the
stairs leading to the floor below. When
he came out of the boy's room he didn't
make straight across to his own door,
but he took a diagonal course toward the
head of the stairs, and I thought he'd
lost his way, but the distance was
short, and he was there before I could
realize it.
"It made my heart go down to think
of being found there In the bouse with
a blind man with a broken neck, or a
broken leg, or something of that sort,
but he didn't go over. He went plumb
to the verge of the stairs and halted
there as though It had been broad day
light and he could see, and stood there
for a minute and listened. It wasn't
Willie what could it have been? He
didn't hear anything; and he turned
and went back into his own room and
got into bed and sat up In It again foi
a minute as be bad done before be got
up, and then lay down. ,
"And I waited for him, and when
he'd got to sleep again I skipped, very
gently; going down the stairs so as not
to make 'em creak under my weight,
and got out and glad to get away. I
don't want any run-in with a blind
man."
A man haa reached the age of discre
tion when be is old enough to know
that he doesn't know some things be
will know when he gets older.
Large bodies move slowly also small
bodies when called to get op in the
morning. -

Five Cents Worth of Travel.

That's

It in a small iron box, which he calls
his safe. One day, after earning 5
cents, he dropped tbem into the box in
the presence of a companion of about
his own age, and exclaimed: "There
e-oes B cents' worth of travel!"
"What do you mean?" asked the other
boy. "How can you travel on B cents?"
"Five cents will carry me a mile and
a half on the railroad. I want to see
Niagara Falls before I die. I am nearly
four hundred miles from them now.
but every 8 cents I earn will bring
them nearer, and a great many other
places that are worth seeing. I know
It takes money to travel, but money is

save the little. I shall never have th
much."
Some boys squander every year th
cost of a coveted trip to some point of
interest Let them remember that
every 8 cents saved means a mile and a
half of the Journey. Small amounts
carefully kept will foot up surprising
results at the end of the year, and al

Cochin China. When it arrived in
America It was simply an ugly looking
bulb, resembling a huge Indian turnip.
It lay nearly all winter In a dark closet,
but with tbe approach of spring began
to manifest signs of life. It was taken
from its resting place and put In a
peach basket, with nothing about it
but some newspapers. Very soon a
mottled green stalk pushed out of tbe
bulb, and in a few daya had reached a
height of eight feet Of this height the
blossom, which was a beautiful dark
maroon color, comprised four feet
After the blossom bad withered and
died the bulb was planted, and from
It grew a nest of great umbrella like

John H. Lewis, of this city, saya tbe

what la probably tbe only picture ever
taken by a black bear, for bruin really
did take the picture. He held tbe cam

Last August a party of six. friends
from Plalnfleld, N. J., passed a fort
night in camp on the upper west
branch, occupying tbe log cabins at
Sears High Landing, so called. ' In so
large a party there was considerable
refui : food, and this was dumped about
a mile from the camp In the woods.
Tbe garbage pile failed to grow, and
the campers were at a loss to account
for its disappearance. Finally one of
the men made up h.ls mind to go to the
scene and watch for the animal that
came around regularly every day to
feed on the crusts of tbe table. He
went to tbe point one morning and sat
In the bushes and waited. Soon he
heard a noise, and in a minute or so a
big black bear appeared. Then came
another, and finally a third. They ate
all of the garbage and then went away.
Tbe Plalnfleld man conceived a desire
to photograph the animals. He put up
a job with tbe cook, and tbe next morn
In a good half bushel of truck was
scattered for the benefit of tbe bears.
The camera man loaded and cocked
his machine, sought a favorite spot and
waited. He had not waited long be
fore two bears lumbered out of the
woods and went to work cleaning up
the potato peelings, bacon rinds, etc.
The man watched the brutes for a
while, and then, slipping from behind a
tree, tiptoed toward the animals, hold

he could press the button when the
bears aaw him approaching. When

4. MONO MOST DEADLY POISON?.
Terrible Fate of Those Who Partake of
M nab room Phallin.
"One of the most terrible poisons of
which I have any knowledge," said a
chemist "is phallin, of which but few
persons have more than the most rudi
mentary knowledge, though the veg
etable from which the deadly stuff
comes is to be found In almost every
field and swamp in the country. For
phallin is the poisonous element in the
deadly mushroom, the 'death cup,' as
it has been' appropriately called. Not
only that When phallin was first dis
covered It was found that it was al
most identical with the poison of the
rattlesnake, so that death from mush
oom poisoning is very similar to death
from a serpent's bite. But still more
wonderful, it Is now known that vari
ous bacteria produce nearly the same
poison the bacteria, for instance, of
diphtheria and typhoid fever. It seems
odd enough that death from the poison
ous mushroom, from a rattlesnake bite
and from diphtheria should result from
practically the same cause.
"It Is said that twenty-five people
are killed every year In the United
States by eating the death cup, mistak
ing it for the edible mushroom. It re
quires only a bit of the death eup to
kill a piece the size of a pea win do it
One case Is cited in which a boy ate
only a third of a small uncooked cup of
the deadly mushroom, but it was
enough to cause his death. Indeed, so
baneful Is the phallin poison that even
the handling of the death cup and the
breathing of the spores may produce
serious Illness.
"The death cup looks very pretty as
it grows In the fields, and when eaten
It has not the slightest III taste, either
when raw or when cooked. Nor is
there any uneasiness felt from nine to
fourteen hours afterward. Then come
terrible pains in the abdomen, nausea
and vomiting, followed by almost cer
tain death, with many of the symptoms
of Asiatic cholera. The effect of phal
lin is to dissolve the red corpuscles in
the blood, permitting them to escape
through the alimentary canal. The
greatest care is necessary, therefore. In
gathering mushrooms not to pick any
of the death cups. They are easily rec
ognised from the others, and there nev
er is any need of making mistakes."

fwm . friend in Guatemala one of tbe
most wonderful species of flowers
known to mankind. It is called tne
"rose of hell" and grows only hi the
vicinity of Antigua, near tbe crater of
th volcano of Fuego. It Is looked
upon by tbe native Indians with a su-
npratitlous dread and Is named the
"rose of hell" because it thrives better
near the steaming Fuego than away
from It
' Th. Indiana reran tbe crater of Fu
ego as tbe doorway of tbe infernal re
gions and this flower as being pro
duced by the evfl spirits associated with
the demons of the sulphurous clime
where the souls of the sinful all go.
The flower Is very deadly and when
boiled Into a liquid and given to any
animal death rapidly follows without
pain, as quiet and peaceful as sleep.
Science does not record another In
stance where this wonderful flower is
found except In Guatemala, and the
only place it Is found in that country
is near the doorway of the -famous
Fuego volcano. Several universities of
this country wlU send after specimens
of the rare flower and use It for ex
periments and demonstration to the
classes In botany.

Rev. Samuel G. Smith in a recent ar
ticle in Harper's Bazar on "The Flace
of Women in tbe World's Work."
pleads for the limitation of women In
factories and trade and strongly advo
rttes tbe closing of all wage-earning
occupations to girls under 18 years of
age. The doctor evidently means well
and perhapa In a good many cases bis
position would bold good and yet there
la no doubt that such an arbitrary rul
ing would be an Injustice to many
homes. Take for Instance tbe case of a
woman bereft of ber husband, and left
without means with two or three
young daughters on her hands. The
mother has been a "home" woman. It
unskilled In any kind of business ot
productive Industry. Her eldest daugh
ter is but 14 years of age, but is anx
ious to come to her mother's assist
ance. 8be leaves school, learns a trade
and at 15 or 16 Is qualified for some In
dustry that gives promise of advance
ment in the future and helps the moth
er and younger sisters materially fot
the present But Dr. Smith says she
should be 18 before entering the Indus
trial world. What would he have this
mother, and ber daughters do In the
meantime?

KEEP IT CLEAN.
Nothing is more difficult to keep clean and swee
than a nursing bottle. Yet if it is not thoroughly cleaned,
the particles of milk adhering to it become rancid and
affect the health of the infant. No trouble will arise
from this cause, if, after using the bottle, it is first
rinsed in cold water, then filled with warm Ivory Soap
suds and let stand for half an hour, and then well rinsed.
The vegetable oils of which Ivory Soap is made fit it for many special
uses for which other soaps are unsafe or unsatisfactory.

Coats that Last a Century.
Waldere Kirk and other gentlemen
who take delight in sartorial changes
as frequent almost as those of the
moon might learn a lesson from John
Chinaman, with whom, even though he
be well off. it is felicity to wear his
grandfather's coat Not only is the
common-looking, shapeless Mouse of
his ancestor prized because it Is his an
cestor's, but because of Its intrinsic
value. The clothing usually worn by
the Chinese Is of the purest silk and
coats anywhere from $100 to $J."0 a
suit As a nation the Chinese object to
wearing clothing of any other kind,
and centuries of experiment have
taught them how best to make up the
costly caterpillar thread into the most
durable form. On this account the Chi
nese dress, thongh of purer material,
has none of the sheen usually associ
ated with silk, a peculiarity which has
resulted In the erroneous Ideas as to
their composition.
All the garments are made in Chiui
and are only exported for the personal
use of celestials in foreign countries.
Owing to their cost however, they are
only purchased at long intervals, each
garment being of so durable a charac
ter that they are handed down to the
third and even the fourth generation.
