On the BSpreewald.
Even at the beginning of the eigh-
teenth century almost the whole area
of the Spreewald was an impenetra-
ble forest. Now however, the for-
est does not occupy more than a
fifth part of the Spreewald. It is
computed that nearly 50,000 tour-
irts visit the Spreewald annually.
There is something welird.and un-
canny in the superstitious character
of the inhabitants of the Spreewald
The most fanatistic legends are re-
lated and believed by these simple
peasants, says House and Garden.
An night the old Wendic King is
said to ride headless over the hill
Black men are alleged to be seen
by the peasants at dawn; at dusk
women clad in white are said to
“walk” the forest. As soon as deep
holes are bored in the hill, great
serpents raise their heads. These
legends are solemnly believed by the
Wends.
In the warm weather almost all
the trafic is carried on in boats.
The boat carries the Spreewalder to
baptism, takes him to the happiest
festival of his life—his wedding—
and finally bears him on his journey
in his coffin to his last resting place
When winter stretches Its crystal
bridges over the Spreewald the skat-
ing and sleighing begin between the
various villages.

The Optical Lever.
The delicate measurements de-
manded by modern scientific pro-
cesses and machines have led to the
invention of many instruments of
percision that surprise the uninitiat-
ed by their capabilities, which are
often based on’. extremely simple
principles. Among these is a little
apparatus recently put upon the.mar-
ket in France for determining the
thickness, or, one might say, lack of
thickness, of extremely thin plates,
wires and threads. The inventor
likens its action to that of a lever,
in which a ray of light takes the place
of the beam. Essentially the appar-
atus consists of two carefully
ground plates in contact with one
another, the upper one being at-
tached to a movable arm. ‘When
an object is placed between the edg-
ec of the plates the upper plate is
displacd a little in level, and the
effect of this displacement is magni-
fied by a reflected ray of light which
falls upon a graduated scale. Thus
the most delicate measurements of
thickness are easily and quickly
made.
Work of College Graduates.
One of the Yale professors has
been making a study of the occupa-
tions of Yale graduates by classes.
He finds among other things, that
a constantly lessening number are
entering the ministry and a steadily
increasing number are studying law.
The law now claims more than twice
as many as any other profession.
Next to it comes finance. Fewer than
one-twelth of the graduates enter
{he ministry, in spite of the fact that
one of the purposes for which Yale
«was founded was ‘‘to train godly
voung men for the Christian minis-
try.” But, side by side with these
facts, -it is also noted that charitable
and philanthropic work—the giving
both of money and of service—is
interest of educated men and Wwo-
men.
When Snow is Smoke.
When the chemist inserts-a small
jet of flaming hydrogen into a vessel
of liquid oxygen the hydrogen con-
tinues to burn, giving off snow in-
stead of smoke. The snow is formed
by the instantaneous freezing of the
water created by the combination of
the burning hydrogen with the oxy-
sen inclosing it. When liquid alr
is cooled until it becomes semi-solid
it is found that the oxygen may be
drawn out of the mass by means of
a magnet, leaving a jelly of pure
nitrogen.
A Ready Answer.
From a German newspaper an ob-
gerver has culled the following ad-
vertisement: ‘The gentleman who
found a purse with money in the
Blumenstrasse is requested to for-
ward it to the address of the loser,
as he is recognized.” The response
appeared two days later: “The rec-
ognized gentleman who picked up a
purse in the Blumenstrasse requests
the loser to call at his house at a
convenient day.”
Preserving Iron and Steel.
To keep iron and steel goods from
rust, states the Mechanical World,
dissolve half an ounce of camphor
in one pound of hog's lard; take off
the scum, mix as much black lead
as will give the mixture an {ron
color. Iron and steel goods rubbed
over with this mixture and left with
tt on 24 hours, and then dried with
a linen cloth, will keep clean for
months. -

A SENTIMENTAL BURGLAR
mee.
By Ernest Roeser.
He knew how to step lightly and
“jimmy’’ the long French window in
the dark corner of the veranda, so
he must have understood his busi-
ness. No amateur burglar could
have effected entrance into the nouse
so neatly and surely.
And after he was in the room he
exercised the same deliberate care,
the seeming unconcern, and sat
down by a smouldering fire to warm
his nands. When he was comfort-
able he surveyed the room with an
electric flash lamp. and then calmly
ransacked the tall desk in the cor-
ner. One drawer was locked, but ne
tooled this with case and then, for
the first time, evidenced excitement,
scooped out its contents.
“Seventeen dollars,” he muttered
disdainfully. “Hardly worth tak-
ing.” But he had no idea of leaving
it, evidently, fcr ne carefully stow-
ed the bills in his vest pocket.
He continued his search of, the
room, picked up a trinket here and
something there, all of which he
placed in the middle of the table,
preparatory to wrapping them to-
gether when his task was finisaed.
In one corner of the room, the
glow and nis flash lamp glinted on
the sanining, polished surface. He
reached into the shadow and lifted
a ‘cello into the dim light of the
fire. After examining the instrument
critically, he dropped its base to the
floor and, as he idly swung it to and
fro, seemed speculating. Then he
looked at the instrument long and
intensely and sat down in medita-
tion. He unconsciously thumbed the
ctrings and the touch evidenced a
knowledge of the instrument.
“If I had a chance to run the bow
over the strings for a minute or
two,” he muttered, “I might be able
to tell it’s worth. It’s too big and
suspicious a package to carry away
at this time of the night, and then,
after all, it may not-be genuine.”
After a short pause, he arose ab-
ruptly, like one with his mind made
up. He walked softly and quickly
to the door leading out of the room,
closed it, went to the corner, and
then returned to the instrument with
the bow in his anand. 1
“I'll chance it,” he said below his
breath.
Softly—very softly—he drew tne
bow across the strings, and then,
after tuning a little, he tested, with
the anxiety of a purchaser, the quali-
ties of tne ‘cello. If it was a good
one, he would take it—if not, it was
not worth the trouble and risk. Evi-
dently he was hard pressed for mo-
ney when he was quite willing to

Stomach trouble is but a symptom of, and not
in itself a true disease. We think of Dyspepsia,
Heartburn, and Indigestion as real diseases, yet
they are symptoms only of a certain specific
Nerve sickness—nothing else.
X& was this fact that first correctly led Dr. Shoop
in the creation of that now very popular Stomach
Remedy—Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Going direct
to the stomach nerves, alone brought that success
and favor to Dr. Shoop and his Restorative. With-
out that original and highly vital principle, no
such lasting accomplishments were ever to be had.
For stomach distress, bloating, biliousness, bad
breath and sallow complexion, try Dr. Shoop's
Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—and see for your-
gelf what it can and will do. We sell and cheer-

As he played, very low, a note
seemed to catch a vein of song and
‘climbed sweetly until it swayed in
tender, sweet and tremblng notes.
Sometimes it seemed that he was
playing on the heart-strings of a WO-
man, and she was weeping, more in
sorrow than pain. Then again, he
was conversing with his soul, and
the melody ran on the strings until
it found a man’s voice and floated
in the air. He laughed and cried,
he sang and then moaned and all
the time his lips parted, his head and
body swayed and he seemed to be

He did not hear the dogr softly
| opened, nor did he see the: figure of
a young girl, her dark hair falling
on the cloak she had thrown around
her, and her facé expressed ‘wonder-
ment, fear and admiration all at
once- She stood immovably by the
doorway, listening, and she, too, be-
came lost in the wonderful melody
produced by the burglar artist. And
then—
A coal in the fire grate snapped
and, with a nervous start, he leaped
to his feet, turning about swiftly.
Instinctively he knew that he was
not alone in the room. The girl
pressed her hands to her bosom, and
shrank against the wall. For fully
a minute they surveyed each anther
and then, the girl, breaking tae s; ell,
made a movement toward the « »or
as if to flee. He quickly raised his
hand.
“Stop!” he said. ‘‘You need I :ve
no fear. I—I am sorry that I so ar
forgot myself as to arouse you.”
And he seemed ashamed that he had
been so unprofessional. .
“Who are you?” she cried.
what are you doing here?”
“Who I am,” he said bitterly,
“makes no difference. As io why I
am here, I was trying.to Letter my
condition with anything 1 might
find.” Pointing toward the window,
he continued: “I came in there. I
was fortunate enough to find this
instrument in the corner nd then
I was fool enough to allow it to be-

“] guessed as much—otherwise I
would take it with me. It’s a granil
instrument. Do you play it?”
Again she nodded, then, with ef-
fort, she hastily added:
“But not like you—not like you!”
“You'must study—study hard. You
have the face of an artist.”
He walked toward the window to
depart. when recollecting himself, he
took the $17 he had stolen from the
desk and dropped it on a table.
