The practice of applying cocaine to
the eyes of firemen in order to reduce
the sensibility of the eyeball to the
effects of smoke has been greatly con
demned by the New York board of
health. Dr. Fletcher Engnlls, in
commenting on this custom, says that
not only is it likely to produce vic
tims to the cocaine habit, but that,
when used often, cocaine kills the
fine sensibilities upou which the eyes
depend. Hut in any case, the appli
cation of cocaine to the eyes under
such circumstances is quite wrong,
tf it does deaden the sensibility for
the time being, it will not prevent
injury to them by the smoke.
The Transvaal and the Klondike
gold fields are likely to have a rival
in South America, according to the
recent reports from that country. A
San Francisco dispatch to the effect
that recent advices from Peru, which
have been confirmed upon good
authority, state that the wonderful
rich strikes reported from the Klon
dike region have been eclipsed by dis
coveries in that country. This state
ment is based npon the rediscovery of
the famous Inca gold fields, in the
department of Cuzco and Puna, in the
eastern border of that country, which
has long been famous for its richness
in precious metals. The supply of
gold may run out some day, but thore
seems to be no immediate danger of
it. On the contrary, at present it is
greatly on the increase, ami there n
every reason to believe that the argu
ment of the silverites, that there is
not gold enough to answer the world's
purposes, is based upou false premi
scs. At least, the present genera'
tion is likely to have all the gold that
it needs for the arts and for money,
and a comfortable surplus beside.
Says the Washington Star: "A pe
culiar situation has grown out of the
efforts of certain railroad companies
operating in the far west to secure the
services of sober men on their lines,
It is plainly to the best interests of
the public as well as the corporations
that inebriety among the employes
should be reduced to the lowest pos
sible point, for intoxication leads di
reotly to carelessness and thence to
accidents, costing many lives aud
large fortunes in damages. To avoid
these results the Santa Fe road and
some others have recently issued an
order prohibiting all employes of
whatever grade or class of duties from
entering saloons, on rtain of dismissAl.
There is, of course, a broad rule
against intoxication in force. It was
at first thought that this would suf
floe, but frequent cases of drunken'
ness proved that the only, way to
ensure a sober force was to draw i
dead line around all places where in
toxicants were dispensed. This order
baa aroused the resentment of the as
sociated saloon keepers of the coast
cities and their leader is now on his
, way to Boston to protest to the finan
cial backers of the Santa Fe road and
to threaten a boycott if the order is
maintained. As . a plain business
proposition it ia likely that the roads,
if boycotted, would more than make
up the loss of trafflo resulting from
this action in the form, of damages
saved, and also in the additional
trafflo attracted to roads known to em
ploy only sober men. Thus the road
puts a premim npon safety that has
never before been possible on a broad
scale. Some years ago one of the
lines running out of Chicago tried the
experiment of prohibiting the visiting
of saloons. . The liquor men aud the
brewers protested and Anally boy
cotted the road. But the order was
enforced, the average of accidents was
steadily reduced and the road pros
pared' as never before. The saloon
order and the. boycott still exist side
ly side aud the former seems to be
taring ths best of the bargain.'"

Alonnina large, comfoitahly, but!
somewhat spnrsely, furnished room
sat a young and beautiful girl.
Hoiuehow she and her surroundings
did not seem in accord. The carpet
on the tloor was somewhat worn ; the
paintings on the wall gave no evidence
of a master's touch ; the upholstery
was gaudy, rather than refined.
llut the gtrl herself wns attired in
the latest fashion. Her dress was at
once quiet and elegant, and but that
she wore no hat, and leaned back the
little head heavily on the cushions of
her chair, you would not readily have
imagined that this room and the one
adjoining made the only home Irene
Hutton and her widowed mother could
boast.
Nor would one suppose that on this
very morning, in the small, white
hands which lay in such seeming list
lessness in her lap, was the momen
tous scalo which should decide the
question of her whole future.
It was the old, old question, after
all love versus money and alternate
ly it balanced with her thought. She
looked about the room, aud her lip
curled.
'.Sentiment under these conditions!"
was her mental reflection. "And what
else could Harrv offer me? What
would his life aud mine become in the
ceaseless struggle to make both ends
meet? Have I not seen enough of
this wretched, genteel poverty? Four
mother! All goes' that I may make a
creditable appearance before the
world; and now no wonder she thinks
it hard that, after the long struggle to
gain me a proper footing in tho matri
monial market, I look coldly upon the
first presentable bid. What matters
it that the man is older thau my father
would have been? What matters it
that I can never love him? I should
wear diamonds; I should ride in my
carriage. The dear mother would
once more be happy, and only Harry
and I w-ould be miserable. Harry aud
It Two paupers! What voice have
we in the world? None none!"
And then,with all a woman's incon
sistency, down went the scale in favor
of money, and down went the little
head in the hands which figuratively
held it, in a great burst of sobs.
"You mean you've decided to give
me up, Irene?
No one could dream the speaker.
Henry Armstrong, could look so grave
or speak so sternly, as when, a few
hours later, standing in the same
room where Irene had fought her fight,
he thus addressed her.
His eyes, blue as heaven, seemed
fitted only for laughter ; his mouth,
though it was marked by no lines of
weakness, held wondorful sweetness
in its corners.
He was a man, young and handsome,
wen calculated to win aud nold a
woman's love; and yet the love of the
one woman in the world which was
precious to him was slipping from his
grasp.
"1 can t help it, Harry," she an
swered, wearily, "I am selling my
self you snd I both know that; but
it must be done, dear. I haven't a
cent in the world to bring yon. and.
poor as I am, I love luxury, Harry;
and it would break my heart to see
you grow old and gray in trying . to
make the income, not enough for one,
answer the needs of two."
"But we are both young, Irene,
With the inoentive of your love I will
soon double my income. Besides.
one of these days I shall have plenty
you Know that."
"Dead men's shoes, Harry. We
don't either of us want to count on
that, and there's no reason why your
uncle llichard shouldn t outlive vou.
Besides, he may change his mind about
making you his heir. It s very strange,
ricu as ue is, ue won t allow you a
penny now, and as to the incentive of
my love, dear, it's only in romance
tkat it has the desired money-makiug
enect.
The girl'a words were harder than
her heart; but her listener oould not
look into its depths to disoover tho
bitter ache which lent them their
seeming colduess, and his own love
and misery made them the more diffi
cult to bear.
"It all comes to this, then that
you throw me over?" he said.
And somehow the question, quiet as
it was, held such repression of feeling
that Irene looked up, Btartled.
"Oh, Harry, don't be too hard on
me I Don't doubt that my love was
true is yet though my heart is
breaking!"
"Your heart!" be eohoed.
And then he laughed, but such
laughter! It was more painful thau
any demonstration of grief.
"Vo stones break ' he went on,
"Xou have worn your mask well,
Until tonight I never dreamed what
lay beneath it. I wish you all joy in
your new life! I shall doubtless live
to congratulate myself that you tore
off the mask in time. You have given

ance of his name, which was her sole
reply.
Six years Inter, Harry Armstrong,
little changed in outward seeming,
paced up and down the deck of a
steamer, three days out from Liver
pool. The weather had been stormy, and
the passengers for the most part had
been confined to their staterooms,
Only today a few of the ladies had
ventured upou deck. One of these
braver ones was seated at the extreme
end of the ship, and around her was
playing a little child a lovely boy,
four years of age.
A young widow," thought Mr.
Armstrong, stealing a cursory glance
at the sleuilcr figure draped in heavy
black.
A thick, bluo veil quite concealed
her face, and usually indifferent as he
was to women, he felt a strange curi
osity to see her lift it.
When he possed a second time he
extended his hand to the child.
"Would you like a walk, my little
nan?" he asked.
The boy ran to him.
".May I tako him, madam?" he in
quired, courteously lifting his lint; but
if ho hoped to hear her voice he was
disappointed.
She bowed assent. He could not
know that underneath the veil great
tears were rolling down her cheeks.
1 he child was little more than a baby,
his hair hanging over his shotildors in
llnxcn curls, but all his prattlu was of
in am m a. "
"Where is papa?" questioned Arm
strong.
Up went tho little (Inner heaven
ward, while a solemn look stole over
the baby-fnee.
"As l thought, rellected the innn.
aud he felt a singular satisfaction in
having his suspicion verified. "I will
hear her voice at least," he determined,
and he walked back to w here she sat.
"Your little boy aud I have become
great friends," he said. "I am fond
of children, aud he has promised me
we shall have many walks togother.
"lou are very kind," was the sim
pie answer.
But Armstrong, as he heard it.grew
deathly pale.
"Irene!" lie said, as though the
name burst involuntarily from his
lips.
She instantly threw back her veil.
but all trace of tears had disappeared,
and ouly a smile was ou her lovely
lips as she exteudod toward him her
hand.
"You won't refuse to shako hands
with me," she said, sweetly. "I reo
ognized you at once, Mr. Armstrong,
aud I also recognized that, on the liar
row confines of the ship, avoidance of
each other would be impossible,
Here, at least, we may be friends?"
Not for six years not since the mo
ment be had left this woman s pros
ence had Harry Armstrong's heart
beat as madly as iu this hour; but nor
composure helped his.
He let his fingers close over hers
with no warmer pressure than iu uu
expectedly meeting any ohauco ao
quaintauco; but tho warmth had gone
from his tone, as he replied:
"rrieuds always,! trust. Six years
have changed you very little, Mrs. Ba
con."
A red flush rose to her cheeks as ha
spoke her name, and she answered
hurriedly, as though some embarrass
ment possessed her.
"Ho my rival is dead," mused Arm
strong, when he found himself again
alone. "And the old madness is upon
me. We both stand now on equal
ground at least. Does she know?
wonueri lias sne ueara that one year
after the day she jilted me I came into
my fortune? Not a long waiting
would it have been for either of us,
Perhaps, as John Bacon's widow, she
will endeavor again to inveigle me
into believing her true. Ah, one les
son such as I have had lasts a man
lifetime. And yet oh, Ood, why can
I not forget her? Before I knew who
sue was ine oiu attraction drew me
toward her., After I leave this ship I
pray that we may never meet again,
Perhaps because Harry Armstrong
really was so earnest in this prayer he
concluded he must make the uioBt of
the present. Perhaps it was the old
story of the caudle and the moth, but
certain it was that day after day found
him beside his old love.
They never spoke of the past. They
never resurrected the dead. Their
hands never met eveu in a "good
morning." Yet they laughed and
talked as thqugh each did not feel the
mad heart-beats every instant they
were together.
It was the last day out. Irene and
Harry were alone, the child playing
at their feet, when a lady approached
them, leaning on the arm ot her maid,
pale and wau from recent illness.
"I oouoluded the air might do me
good," she said, languidly, as Irene
qnickly arose and assisted ' her to
obsir, then turned and presented her
to Air. Armstrong.
"You are my little boy's friend,"
ssld the stranger, extending her band
gracefully. "He has talked so much
of you snd Miss Hutton tells me you
are sn old friend of her own."
From one to the other Harry Arm
strong looked in blank surprise. '
Ha stammered some reply lily ac
cording with his usual ease, then,
standing before Irene, he offered her
his arm.
"Will you take a turn on deck with
me, Miss Hutton?" he said, empha
sizing her name.
She rose instantly. They walked
to the other end of the ship, when he
paused and confronted her.
'Irene, now toll me what it all
means," be said.
"Only that I am Miss Hutton still.
I I saw your mistake and encour
aged it, hoping yon might never know
the truth. My mother died and I was
penniless. I am companion to the
lady to whom I just presented you
ami governess to the little boy."
"Why did you not marry? '
"You have no right to question me."
"I assume the right, and, by the
heavens above, you shall answer me."
"I I could not. Oh, this Is cruel,
Mr. Armstrong! Yet perhaps I do
serve that you should know the truth.
I could not perjure myself at Hod s
altar. Loving one man, I could not
swear to love and honor another. I
chose poverty, loneliness and my own
self-respect.
"And the man yon loved you have
ceased to lovo him?"
She made no answer, but her head
bowed lower, and he could see thn
great tears rolling sileutly down her
fnco.
"Suppose he could offer you today
little more than he offered you then,
Irene, what would your answer be?"
"Harry, Harry, don t mock me.
she cried. "You cannot know the
emptiness of my life or you would not
hold out to me the semblance of its
rich fullness. I deserve my fate,
Let me accept it."
"Only in accepting me, Irene. Ah,
lny darling, it wns your true self 1
loved, after nil. Yon strove to wear
the mask aud could not. Heaven has
indeed been kind to us, my love. I
came on this ship a louelv, desolate
man, though fortune has smiled upon
me, and I can offer you, Irene, a home
worthy of you. 1 ho old uavs of toil
and struggle have ended; but after all
they were the rich days, dear rich in
hope and rich in love. I have been
poor ever since in all that makes life's
reul wealth until tonight. Irene,you
have loved ine always?"

swept aud whispered answer. "Al

with narrow lace frills, each headed

either with sashes of silk muslin car
ried twice around the waist, or of
soft, nudressed silk in pale mauve,
pink, lettuce green or block.
A ruche-like arrangement of flowers
is a new feature in millinery. In a
large bat of fancy geranium straw, silk
poppies and buds are wreathed about
the crown over a drapery of geranium
red velvet and ribbon. The ribbon
and velvet are formed in standing
loops at the back, where poppies are
bunched against the up-turned brim.
A black straw facing relieves the
warmth and intensity of the red.
The picturesque 1830 style is re
called by a large white chip hat with
broad, drooping brim that overshad
ows the eyes in a captivating way.
Cream lace is applied full as a facing
to the brim, and lace is frilled over
the brim and hangs in a loop low over
the hair. Yellow chiffon la twisted
softly around the high crown, and at
the left side are disposed four whit
ersct plumes and ons drooping plums.
