A movement u oo foot in New York
City to get rid of tho middleman in
the coal trade.
Statistics just made ehow that in
Massachusetts, in spite of the advent
of the trolley cr and the popularity
of the bicycle, the numbor of horses
is greater by 3,085 than a year ago.
It is said that more than ninety per
cent of the railway passengers in Eng
land travel tbird-clssa. They con
tribute about eighty-three percent of
the receipts. A goodly portion of the
remaining seventeen percent, it is
safe to say, ia contributed by wealthy
American tourists, who are conspicu
ous patronizcrs of the first-class car
riage during tbo summer mouths.
Somo of the people who have a no
tion of nhat they mean by the word
"evolution" may bo surprised to boo
how closely it agrees with Herbert
Spencer's definition, which is hn fol
lows: "It inn disintegration of mat
ter aud a concomitant dissipation of
motion, during which the matter
passes from an indefinite, incoherent
heterogeueity to a definite, coherent
homogeneity, and during which tbo
retained motion undergoes a parallel
transformation."
Nansen invented the model of tbo
Fram, making her bull round and slip
pery, like an eel, with no corners or
aharp edges for tbo ice to soizo upon.
Hue is the strongest vchhcI ever used
in Arctic exploration. Ho said that
prcsHiire would simply lift her ou the
ice, aud so her bottom, near tbo keel,
was made almost Hut in order tbat she
might not cupsizo while on tbo ice
surface, and her screw and rudder
wcro also ingeniously protected. Tbo
many experts who suid her design
would not save the Fram from instant
destruction wero mistaken, for sbo
met these resist lens icu pressures, uud
they merely lifted hor out of her cra
dle, and the rested sufely on tbo sur
face. In spite of the adverse conditions
which have prevailed during the last
few years it is gratifying to observe
that the progress of electric scieuce
has not been in ttie leasVnitcrrnptod.
This statement applies with special
force to electric railways. In 18S7
there were only thirteen of these rail
ways in the United Stutes.with barely
a hundred cars. Since that time,
however, tbo progress made in this
deportment of enterprise has been such
that in 1895 thcro were no less than
850 electric roads in this country, op
crating over U.OUO miles of truck aud
23,000 curs aud representing a cupitul
of 8400,000,000. At tbo present
time, however, a still greater activity
is to bo observed. From recent re
ports there nro 1,000 different lines in
tbo United Slates, including n mileage
of 13,000 miles aud operating 30,000
cars, lu 1800 alone something like
1,900 miles of track were laid, repre
senting an additional capital of $35,
000,000. In other lines the progress
which electricity has mu.lo during tbo
last few years lias been no less marked,
but the above figures will sullice to in
dicate tbo measure of activity.
A woman with a history died re
cently in San Fraucisco, (Jul. She
was Miss Julia Spauldiug, who reached
the great age of ninety-Beveu years.
She was a washerwoman in the early
days, who intrusted her savings,
which amounted to several thousand
dollars, to Meiggs, a shipping mer
chant and banker. Meiggs got into
difficulties and one day fled to Chili
on one of his bhips, leaving an army
of mourning creditors behind. After
several years sho discovered that
Meiggs had made a great fortuno in
Peru, so ahe set off for Callao, called
on Meiggs aud demanded what ho
owed her with full interest. lie re
ceived her like a princess, entertained
her lavishly, and sent her home with
all her demands paid in full. Sbe
shrewdly invested iu Sau Francisco
real estate, which brought her iu a
good income. Her example induced
others to apply to Meiggs. In time
be paid all his creditors, aud hi
friends bad n bill passed by the state
legislature giving him immunity for
Lis crime, committed over forty years

Strong la my heart old mtmorin awakr,
To-night!
Live oa mv lips dead kisses burr;
Hot to my eyes wept tear an return;
Forgotten throbs my pulses shake.
To-night!
Love is avengud my buried love-
To-night!
The weakling Present slips away;
The giant Past alone has sway
Potential as the gods above
To-night!
HEN first Edith Lor-
ing realized the sad
trutn tbat sbe was
orphaned, that the
father who had
lavished upon her
j- all that wealth could
yield had died a
bankrupt at an unexpected crisis in
the financial world, the double shock
neemed more than ahe could bear.
Fcr a time it paralyzed her energies,
bat when at last the dread question,
What should ahe do? was put beforo
ber in all its unvarnished plainness,
pride and her own strength of will
came to ber rescue, and sho answered,
brushing the tears from her bright
eyes and holding erect the regal head :
"Anything rather than iivo depen
dent upon others. I will work."
Then, when the weary days merged
into weeks and months, and she finally
sought and obtained a position as
governess in Mrs. Elwood's family,
and bade farewell to her old home,
where she had spent so many happy
hours to enter upon the threshold of
hor new lifo, it seemed as though a
band of iron had grasped her heart and
clutched it in a vise. She lived two
lives an outer life, in which ber sweet
voice never wavered, and where she
wore a smile whoso hollowness the
children, her little charges, could not
fathom; and an inner life, which
sometimes grew to such agony that
almost it betrayed her; but the tears
rarely rose beyond the fountain-head.
And though at times the crown of
thorns she daily woro pressed hard
upon the tired young brow, sbe car
ried it unflinchingly. At first, as tbe
days brought each tboir fresh burden
and every hour seemed to give birth
to somo now and harder duty, a hopo,
unbidden, shone ever through the
darkest clouds tbat Douglas Mailings
wonld reloaso her ere her thralldom
became unbearable. In bygouo days,
though no positivo engagement bound
them, his words, his every act wero
unmistakably the words and acta of a
lover. At her father's death sho had
heard nothing from him, but each day
some fragrant flowers had been sent
her, which she felt assured oonld come
only from him.
Then followed tho announcement of
her loss of fortune, and from tbat day
she had hoard nothing of the recreant
save the news which came to her
through others that he bad sailed for
Europe. Not even this did sho learn
until weeks had passed, and then sbo
bade farewell to the hope which had
served to buoy her through these many
trials, and wrapping herself in a man
tle of icy reserve, piled high tho sod
upon a grave within her heart, nor
shed one tea: to keep its memory
green. It is winter to her, within as
well as without, aud as now nnd then,
glancing from tho window, she sees
tbe handsome sleighs, with their mer
ry occupants, dash past, she wonders
could it be she who, one abort year ago,
rovellcd liko these, tho gayest of the
"Miss Loriug," a sweet, childish
voico crios, interrupting hei reverie,
"mamma says will you not join us in a
ride? There is a vacant seat in the
slough, and shu should be very glad to
have you fill it."
"Certainly, dear; I will be there in
a moment," and, ribing to ber feet,
Bhe donned her outer wraps and hast
ened to meet Mrs. Elwood in the hall
below.
Before tho door stood two sleighs,
one that belonged to ber hostoss, tbe
other a beautiful littlo cutter, with a
pair of prancing steeds, held by a
groom in full livery, while iu the
drawing-room tat its owner, waiting
for Miss Elwood, tbo daughter of the
house, who had this winter mado her
dobut in society.
Edith, unoonacionB of any ono's
presence, ran hastily into the room to
gee if Mrs. Elwood awaited her, and
for a moment the blood surged up in
a glad tide, for there before the open
fireplace stood Douglas Railings,
alone. He had come then at last;
but her outstretched hand drops to
her side, her look of happy surprise
vanishes, as she reads in his face only
ntter amazement at her sudden appar
ition. In a moment Bhe realizes it is
not she whom he seeks.
"Pardon me, Mr. Pollings. I
thought the drawing-room deserted,
or expected to find only Mrs. Elwood.
I imagined you were abroad."
"I rctnrned only last weok, and this
is a most welcome surprise. May I
not tell you how very glad I am to
find you? Are you visiting Mrs. El
wood?" "I am rosiJing here permanently,
as Mrs. Elwood's governess. Good
morning."
"Stay, Edith; why are you o cold?
Let me bo your friend do something,
anything, to lighten your burden."
"Thank you. My own shoulders
are sufficiently broad to bear any bur
den laid npon them. Once more,
good morning," and in another mo
ment Edith stepped into the sleigh
beside Mrs, Elwood, and waa whirled
from hu sight. At he turns a moment
later to meet Miss Elwood, there is a
perplexed look in his face which lis

can scarcely hide in the smile of wel
come he so well knows how to assume.
Cut she dcteota nothing beyond tbe
seeming delight which he can bo well
express in courteous words; and
springing lightly into the sleigh by
his side, as the groom releases the
horses and they speed off as an arrow
sent from its bow, she feels only hon
ored by his preference and his com
panionship. Two days later a little note is placed
in Edith Loring's hands. It is a polite
invitation from Mr. Mailings to accom
pany him that afternoon to drive,
which sbe as politely and formally de
clines. Oooasionally ahe hears his
name mentioned in tho household ;
learns that his attentions to Miss El
wood are growing marked ; sees tbe
happy flush mount to ber brow at.
mention of his name, and wondors at
the icy indifference with which she
hears it all. Sometimes for a moment
the old pain throbs and surges, but
she bravely fights it back and comos
forth conqueror.
In all these months ahe rarely meets
him. Once, as she is passing through
the hall with her little charges ahe
unexpectedly confronts him. Jn his
old, winniug way a manner which
she has learned so well be asked her
once more to let him bo hor friend.
"At least, Edith, let me explain."
"Explain, Mr. Kulliugs? 1 cannot
understand, air, what explanation is
necessary. Allow mo to assure you I
consider noue due me."
Th is is all that passed between them
until one morning, when Mrs. Elwood
has given ber a holiday and she has
taken advnnt.tgo of it for a quiet walk,
she hears behind ber a quick tread,
and iu auotber moment Mr. Hailing
had accosted her.
"This is a most unexpeclod pleas
ure, Miss Eilith. Will you allow mo
to join you?"
"I came out, Mr. 1'nllings, to bo
alone, and I should prefer it."
"Edith, listen to mo ; I must speak.
Why do you avoid me? When I left
this country for Europe I wrote you u
little note, explaining why I w.tsoalled
away, leaving you my address and
bogging you to write to mo. No letter
reached me, and on my return 1 heard
of your added misfortunes. I could
hear nothing more. When 1 found
you at last, so bravely oarning your
own support, it gave me a new repect
for you. I know full well how littlo
worthy I am to ask a favor at your
hand, but at least let me try to win
back some of the friendly feeling I feel
assured you once gave me."
"That I wiil not deny, Mr. Railings;
nor will I deny that, for a tiino, I
missed my friend; but I have so
schooled myself that that feeling has
grown into callousness. Tho roso,
onco blighted, cannot reblossom ; the
heart ouco trampled upon bears tho
cruel impress forever. I havo learned
at least contentment, and let inn beg
that this shall be our lust interview."
"Have you indeed grown ho hard,
Eilith? When I knew that you had
lost everything, ana was dopendeut
solely upon tho labor of your own
brain and bauds, J longod, darling,
oh, ho earnestly, to say to you : 'Come
to me. Let mo share your burden, or
lighten it all I can.' You have judged
mo cruelly, Edith. I am not ho base
as you imagine. I have enough for
both. Let me try to win back at least
a littlo of tho old feeling, with the
hope that at a later day I may plead
with you to be my wife."
For a moment E lith wavered. Thore
was a ring of truth in bis words she
could but recognize. But was ho not,
in thua addressing her, playing false
with Miss Elwood? How foolish for
hor to listen to his idle words.
"Let the dead past bury its dead,
Mr. Railings," she answered nt last.
"Too many changes have taken place
for us ever again to bo the same to
each other. Words are very empty
things, and though you have lenrnod
their fullest power, you are no longer
addressing tho girl who, one short year
ago, thought all the world was true.
Cau you think that I, living in the
bouse with Miss Elwood, can bo ignor
ant of the attentions you have paid
hor? Nay, do not attribute this to
personal feeling, for, bolicve mo, it ia
a matter of indifference, save that your
conduct is unworthy a gentleman."
"In visiting Miss Elwood, if I have
erred, it has been through my love for
you. I have gone there hoping to see
you, yearning for the knowledge that
yon wore well at least, and longing to
breakthrough the crust of icein which
you infolded yonrsolf. I admire Miss
Elwood only as a friend, and do not
for one moment flatter myself ahe
entertained a different feeling toward
me. This is tolly, dear. ' Look at mo
once, EJith, with your old, frank gaze,
and if my eyes spoak falsehood, banish
mo forever."
"It ia bopclcRS, Mr. Railing'. I
have ceased to care for you. K I did
not know how email a matter it was to
you I should say, 'I arc sorry,' but in
the long month when a friendly word
would have been, oh I ho welcome, only
silence met me ; and if, as yon say, a
mantle of ioe infolds me, it ia because
I hove bo long lived banished from the
ran that ita raya can ao 1 eager pene
trate the frozen interior. It is beat
ao."" '
"Ton call it beat, than beat that
the heart, onoe ao warm and true,
should become an iceberg ; beat that
your faith ahonld be converted into
skepticism, your belief into unbelief.
Rest happy in your creed, then, Mias
Loring, but take care lest yon do not
wreok yourself against the sharp rocks
of suspicion."
Six months later. Edith Loring,
sitting in her school room, is inter
rupted bv Mias Elwood.
"Oh, Mian Loring." she says, "Mr.
Railings has been thrown from his
horse and badly injured. They fear
he will not live. Is it not sad?"
"Very sad," was the quiet reply, but
as she spoke the words the ioe seemed
breaking from her heart, and she fell
fainting to the floor.
During all these months she had
scarcely heard Douglas Railings'
name, and, to her surprise, hie
absence from the housohold had been
but casually mentioned ; and Mies El
wood, in her daily round of pleasure,
seemed to have no time to note that
such was the case. Ilia words were
true, then, when he told her he had
been to her only as a friend. Could
it be that it was she who had honored
him, and not he her!
When consciousness returned, and
with it the rremory of their last meet
ing, her coldness and indifference, his
earnest, loving words, she knew she
had deceived herself, and tho love she
supposed buried beyond resurrection
was deeper, truer, more inteusa than
before it had been tried by fire. Poor
child I She was weary of the fight,
and now she could never tell him that
ehe owned hcrsolf worsted in the
battle. But oue evening a few weeks
later his card is put into her band.
She has learned ere this of his re
covery, but she is amazed when ahe
goes forward to welcomo him to see
what an impress his illness has left
upon him. Pale and worn, ho stands
before her with outstretched bauds,
but it is with the old tone he speaks.
"Little one, I came to find my wife.
Is she here?"
Her answer was not word-spoken,
but with her fair head pillowod on his
breast, bo needed noue ; and when,
two months later, he claimed his wife,
Miss Elwood stood with her at the
altar as her chosen friend. New York

A Wondrous Waterfall.
The Olympio Mountains have pro
duced another attraction, tbe beauty
of which is not excited on tho western
slope. What is aiJ to bo a grand
waterfall coming from tbe snow
capped peaks above the clouds over a
blu 11', falling a perpendicular distanco
of ever 1000 feet aud disappearing in
tho bosom of a beautiful plain, has
just been discovered near Lake Cres
cent by two ranchmen. Their descrip
tion of tbe scene would exceed any
thing of similar character in tho Yel
lowstone Park.
From the snow on the crests of the
Olympics, where white men have never
visited, comos a little stream, which
rapidly grows in volume until it
reaches the edge of a perpondicular
cliff overlooking a beautiful plateau of
300 aore3 n thousand feet below. For
centuries the water hat poured over
tho proeipice until it has out a smooth
passage, something like a large pipe
split in half, in the side of tbe moun
tain. Here and there it strikes an ob
struction, and out of the mountain's
side spurt oth r falls. Standing
alongside of the cliff a short distance
away tbe scene is beautiful and looks
as though there wore Irilf a cWeu
rivers bursting out of tho mountain.
Tbe huge volume of water disappears
in a wild-looking cavern, uud becomes
an underground river. It (lows be
neath tho plateau for a distauoe of two

imprisonment in tbe shape of an oval
bridal veil, and dashes over tho rocks
aud cataracts dowu to LukeSutherland
and out to sea.
Tbo country is very rough, wild and
bard to penetrate There is an abun
dance of wild game isolated around
tbe falls. The discoverers of the falls
killed nine elk in half an hour and
said there were 100 more in sigh'.

Firing Under Water,
A stage was erected in the harbor at
Portsmouth within tho tide mark ; on
this an Armstrong gnn of the 110
pound pattern was mounted. The gun
was then loaded aud carefully aimed
at a target while the tido was low.
The target itself was plaoed only
twenty-five feet from the muzzle of
tbe gun. It was composed of oak
beams and planks, and was twonty-one
inches thick. In order to make the
Griper invulnerable, a sheet of boiler
plates three inches thick was riveted
to the water logged hull iu direct
range with the course the ball was ex
pected to take if not deflected by the
water.
On all ot these the oaken target,
the boiler plates, and tbe old vessel's
hull the effect ot the shot from the
submerged gun was really startling.
The wooden target was pierced through
and through, the boiler iron target
was brokeu into pieces, and driven
into its "backing," the ball passing
right out through both sides of tbe
vessel making two huge holes, through
which the water poured in torrent.
Taken altogether, the experiment was
an entire success.
