Forever a-dream and adrift with doubt! She is there, at the garden gate.
And she weeps good-bye ‘neath a fancied sky that burns with the stars of fate!
And he whispers: ‘Dear, I love thee.

But she heareth only an echo that answers: “He loves thee not!”
Oh, tyrant-love that tortures a life with thorns and fears—

He hath given her life's sweet roses—the lilies shall be her lot;
But she winnows the thorn from the

rex had just come as near pro-
posing to her, and she to refusing him,
as it was possible to do and miss, this
being their customary daily diversion.
Now he was watching her lazily. That
was what irritated her se—his inordi-
nate laziness.
He was large and blond, with placid
blue eyes like a sleepy baby’s. She
was little and trim as waxwork, and
her gray eyes were clear and keen. The
exciting point of the day's program
over, Roy had settled down to his usual
comfortable nonckalance,
“I don't know what kind of a fellow
you want,” he grumbled, amiably, with
an indolent movement of one oar, ard
somehow his laziest motion seemed to
accomplish a good deal.
“I know,” said Ruby, positively.
“Let's hear about him,” Roy pre-
posed.
“He’s brisk,” Ruby replied, “and en-
ergetic.”
“Think I've got him in my mind’s
eye.” Roy gave the other oar an easy
touch. “Small and bustling—and chip-
pery, like the little cock sparrow who
sat on a tree.”
“He isn’t like that in tkeleast,” Ruby
sat up prim and stiff, and rosy with in-
dignation.
“Oh, isn't he?
Where is he now?”
“At work,” Ruby replied, promptly,
ther tone implying a comparison be-
tween a man thus profitably employed
and one who idled his time away at a
summer hotel.
“Perhaps he has am object in view,”
Roy insinuated.
“Perhaps,” Ruby admitted, demurely.
“And—um—is the object to be at-
tained soon?”
Ruby let her eyes droop toward the
top ruffle of her blue organdie,
“I—don’t know exactly; not before
next spring.” She was dabbling her
hand in the lake, her eyelashes still
slanting downward. T
“Ah! Congratulate him, and every-
thing. Shall we row over to that bunch
of willows, or down to the little cove?’
For an instant Ruby wished she
might tip the boat over, just to see if
his exasperating equanimity would be
disturbed even by such an emergency.
“I don’t believe it would,” she de-
cided, in disgust. “He'd get us out if
he could conveniently, and if he could
not he'd drown with that contented
smile on his face, as serenely as if he
were a wooden Shem out of a toy
Noah’s ark.”

“Yes,” Ruby answered, “but I hardly

=o?
She ran out and slipped her boating
hat on in silence. She was reflecting
dismally that she must either confess
her little romance of yesterday an un-
founded one, or bid good-bye forever
to this exasperating man, and she
knew now that the latter was some-
thing she could not do and retain any
shred of happiness. She waited, how-
ever, until they were out on the blue,
soothing bosom of the lake. Then she
rushed into it.
“He couldn’t object, you know,” she
said, reverting to his remark of some
time before, “because he’s only fiction.”
“A dream-man?’ he asked. She
nodded, blushing uncomfortably.
He hummed a bar of “When a Dream
Came True,” and settled back easily.
Ruby looked down in silence. She was
waiting for him to say something else
—and he was carelessly moving an oar
now and then, and apparently thinking
of nothing at all. She noticed for the
first time how strong his brown hands
looked; they were not the hands of a
lazy man.
They drifted along aimlessly
“It was a silly story to tell,” Ruby
said, at last.
“Oh, I don’t know,” he answered, in-
dulgently. “I rather thought you were
fabricating. But you might realize
him yet, you know.”
“I don’t want to.” Her voice was a
little uneven.
“Poor dream-man; sympathize with
him, I'm sure. Like to have that pond
lily?”
“Thank you, I don’t care for it; let's
go back.”
He agreed amiably. “I ought to get
back early,” he said. “I promised
Kingsland to come over and go fishing
this afternoon, se we may not see each
other again. Caesar, isn’t this a day
for fishing, though!”
Ruby’s cheeks tingled as she walked
silently beside him through the light,
dry grass on the way to the hotel,
while he stalked cheerfully along, mak-
ing irritatingly pleasant remarks about
the scenery.
They came to a standstill at the sum-
mer house on the lawn. It was empty,
and, Ruby did not want to walk into
the crowd of people on the hotel porch.
“I'm tired,” she said; “I'll rest a
while, and we can say good-bye here.”
He held out his sunburned hand and
clasped hers closely for a minute.
“Good-bye,” he said. “If you should
come to terms with the dream-man,
don’t forget to let me know.”
She watched him going across an ad-
joining field, as she fell into the big
willow chair and began to hen

misty hulls. They were di: than

“Only a summer fliztation—only a
summer flirtation,” creaked the chair,
maddeningly.
She turned her eyes to the field again.
She could still see the tall form loiter-
ing along. When it should disappear,
the end of things would have come.
He stooped, seeming to pick up some-
thing; then he turned slowly and be-
gan his easy stride back toward the
summer house. It seemed ages before
he reached the door and looked in,
holding toward her a flower on a stalk,
just a fringe of pale lilac petals un-
curling from a tawny golden centre.
“See, I found the first aster, and
came back to bring it to you,” he said.
She accepted it silently. He looked
curiously at her eyes. The rims were
decidedly pink. He folded his arms

“I think Sir Walter Scott is largely
responsible for the superstition as to
opals,” said the traveling salesman of
jewelry. “Be that as it may, it is still
widespread. There is a large jewelry
house in one of the hig cities which
will not handle opals. This means a
loss of thousands of dollars annually.
The founder of the house put the bar
on opals, and the third generation is
keeping it up.
“I had an amusing experience when
I was behind the counter of a house
in the East. A lady came in, and
handing me a breast pin set with opals,
said:
“ ‘Mr. Jones, what will you give me
for these stones? They were an heir-
loom in my husband’s family, but since
they have come into my possession my
husband and I have had nothing but
misfortune. We have lost our resi-
dence by fire; there has been sickness
in the family all the time, and he is
experiencing business reverses, I
must get rid of the opals, so make me

“ ‘Madam,’ I said, ‘are you sure that
your troubles are due to them?
“ ‘Oh, perfectly sure.’

cause? . :
“ ‘No. Make me an offer, please.’
“ ‘Madam,’ I replied, deferentially, ‘I
regret to inform you that these stones
are imitations.” ”—Birmingham News.
Silk Worms in California.
Through the efforts of Professor C.
W. Woodworth, of the department of
entomology of the University of Cali-
fornia, a second attempt is now being
made to determine whether or not silk-
worms can be raised in California on
such a scale as to make the venture a
commercial success. Some years ago
money was appropriated by the State
Legislature = for experiments along
these lines, but no favorable results
were reached. The apparatus used in
the experimenting was turned over to
the university. The problem is now
being attacked by Professor Wood-
worth in a thorough manner.
Through the good offices of N. Yoko-
wawa, a Japanese, of San Francisco,
who has lately returned from the
Orient, Professor Woodworth has se-
cured four or five million eggs of the
silkworm, which are now being
hatched at Berkeley. Three varieties
of worms will be used in the experi-
ments. They are the Japanese, tle
Russian and the Persian varieties,
The experiments now being con-
ducted will be watched with interest,
as the'plan of raising siilkworms in this
country kas been tried in many places
besides California. The only exception
to the list of failures is recorded in the
history of some experiments carried
on in Pennsylvania.—San Francisco

A Queer Snake.
Some timbermen who were working
out railroad ties near {chultz Creek,
a short distance from Fuilerton, Ky.,
recently caught the first large snake
of the season. After they had landed
him they became greatly perplexed
from the fact that he was of a variety
they had never before seen or heard of.
They brcught him to town, where his
snakeship was carefully inspected at
a respectable distance.
He bore all the marks of a common
blacksnake, but protruding from his
neck at one side near the head was a
long horn, apparently as sharp as a
needle. Nothing like this had ever
been seen or heard of before.
The snake was finally despatched,
when careful investigation revealed
the fact that he had swallowed a small
game cock and one of the steel gaffs
had protruded through the reptiles
neck.—Cincinnati Inquirer.

It has been established in Paris, with
the object of teaching, not letters, but
politeness. The schoolroom is fure
nished with chairs, tabies and rugs,
to give the necessary ‘loca! color” to
the surroundings. The dog pupils are
trained to welcome visitors by jump-
ing up, wagging the tail and giving a
low bark. When the visitor leaves,
the dog accompanies ‘iim t: the door
and bows his farewell by bending his
head to the floor. He is trained like-
wise to pick up a nandkerchief, glove,
or fan that has pecn dropped and re-
turn it to the owner. He is taught
further to walk with “proud and
prancing steps” when out with his
mistress.

TO GROW MEDICINAL PLANTS!
Failing Supply Has Rendered This
Course Necessary.
The demand in the United States for
medicines of vegetable origin has
steadily increased with the population,
and the export demand has also in-
creased with the intreduction of our
medicines abroad, but the supplies of
plants which formerly grew wild in this
country have in many instances greatly
decreased, and the point has now been
reached where it is not infrequent that
it is extremely difficult and sometimes
impossible to obtain certain varieties of
native medicinal herbs and barks for
any price. This condition has been
gradually growing worse of recent
vears and the only relief, according to
the manufacturers who aaily need
these rare native plants, is to begin to
systematically cultivate them, instead
of depending, as formerly, upon the
natural growth. That this can be done
with profit is claimed to be without
question, as prices frequently soar,
owing to the short supplies, and if the
cultivation be so regulated that it will
not be in excess of the demands of the
trade, there is no reason why a rich
harvest cannot be reaped by the pro-
ducers, as well as the manufacturers
of medicines in which they are used.
The latter are anxious that the culti-
vation of the plants be taken up by
reason of the fact that it would do
away with the inconvenience which
they now frequently experience, as
well as with the exorbitant prices
which they are forced to pay by those
who manage to corner the available
supplies when they are short.
Golden seal is a case in point. Tt
formerly could be obtained in gbund-
ance throughout the Ohio Valley and
eastward. It is now hard to obtain in
commercial quantities, and the price
has been forced up to seventy-five cents
a pound. Twenty years ago the pro-
duction of golden seal in the United
States was given by Lloyd at 150,000
pounds.
Experiments are now being made in

field for cultivation is in the sections

urally, before the increasing demand
and the higher commercial value
caused their practical extermination —

To Protect Fish From the Sun.
Building sheds over lakes up in Ver-
mont to keep the sun off little fishes is
a remarkable proceeding, but Fish
Commissioner Bowers, during a hear-
ing at the Capitol, declared that was
what the Government has been com-
pelled to do.
It was at St. Johnsbury, where influ-
ential statesmen insisted on having a
Government fish hatchery, although
the water supply was inadequate. In
summer the water there becomes too
warm, because it is very shallow, and,
so Mr. Bowers says, the fishes some-
times all die in a night. That was
why he built sheds over the water
to give them proper shelter. But after
a long fight he has persuaded the Sen-
ate Appropriation Committee to trans-
fer an appropriation of $20,000, which
was made several years ago and which
would have been wasted, had it been
expended at St. Johnsbury, to some
other locality to be designated by Sec-
retary Cortelyou.—\Washington Post.
Cardinal of York Was a Bore.
Henry Stuart, Cardinal of York,
British prince as he was, and descend-
ant of the lovely and witty Queen of
Scots, was himself but a dull and
prosy man. He had all the good things
| of this world—honors, wealth and po-
sition. But while all respected him,
many were greatly bored by his plati-
tudes. Tope Benedict XIV. who was
his best friend, once expressed the
general opinion. He had listened to
the cardinal’s prosy talk for an hour
and a half on a day when he was more
than usually busy. He remarked, with
a sigh of relief when the audience was
over, “that it did not in the least sur-
prise him that the English should wish
to be rid of the race of Stuart, if they
were all dull and tedious as the Car-
dinal of York.”—London Modern * So-

‘“ Black Teeth’ Men,
Emigrants from South Italy are,
many of them, disfigured by what is
knoavn as “black teeth.” The teeth of
these persons are affected during the
period of growth by some gaseous con-

from impregnation with volcanic Va-
pors. The defect often gives a sinister
look to an otherwise handsome face,
but fortunately does not, it seems, af-
