) - i JOHN DOYLE When Louise Doyle entered the offi ce of Delancey A GriWn, architects, In tie humble capacity of copyist, the soul of her father rose In angry rebellion. Two years previous John Doyle had retired from the grocery business with ft tidy Income, a substantial brick resi dence and chronic rheumatism. When ever the malady loosened Its grip, Doyle wandered back to the scenes of his commercial achievements. His suc cessor always gave him cordial wel come, and a comfortable chair back ot th cashier's booth was at his disposal. When too lame to walk as far as the store, he consoled himself by playing Innumerable games of pinochle. In the rear of Simpson's cigar store, Just across the street It was from a disastrous defeat at pinochle that he came home to hear that Louise was "going to business." The moment was Inauspicious. "I never heard tell of such tomfool lshncs8. My girl going to chase down town six days In the week, like the daughters of that no-account Tom Saunders? People'U be questioning my credit next. And she won't make enough to pay for the new feathers and fixing she'll want, to say nothing ot the shoe leather she'll wear out traipsing back and forth In all kinds ot weather!" Mrs. Doyle, who in spite of the fact that she never Joined a Mothers' club nor studied household economics, had succeeded in making John Doyle com fortable and content, calmly set a gusset In her husband's new shirt as she replied: "I don't know about that, John. I think that If more girls knew how hard It Is to earn money, and to make a suc cess In business, we'd have fewer shift less and grumbling wives." Mr. Doyle groaned at his wife's de sertion to the enemy. "And aa for her wasting her money, I don't believe Louise'U do anything ot the sort. She's got too much of her father's blood in her. Besides, she's going to pay her board says It's only right, seeing that she won't be home to help me with the work." Mr. Doyle fairly gasped In his fury. "Pay her board! Minerva Doyle, have you gone daft? Or are you turn ing miser, like your Uncle Sam? My daughter shan't pay her board, so long as I'm here to prevent it. But Louise had her way. Every Saturday night she paid her board, and every Monday morning Mr. Doyle car ried the money straight to the savings bank arid deposited It to the credit of Louise Doyle. Three years rolled round and Louise failed to fulfill any of the dire predic tions set forth by her parent. She did not take pneumonia from facing keen northwesters. She did not catch emallpox from riding in lll-ventllaied cars. And she refused to elope with the Junior partner. But she had risen steadily in the estimation of her em ployers, until, when George Shaw came to the city, she was confidential secre tary to the senior partner of Delancey ft Griffin. ' In his secret heart, John Doyle was wonderfully proud of this Belf-poss-essed, capable young woman, and when young Shaw from up-State, vigorous, well set-up and well-poised, appeared on the scene, Mr. Doyle groaned afresh. "If Louise hadn't that business bee In her bonnet, there's the man I'd pick out for her husband. Why on earth any sensible girl would rather take dictation from a snarling, bald-beaded old crank downtown than to make a nice home for a fellow like George Shaw, I don't see." But as a matter of fact Mr. Delancey was neither bald nor ill-tempered, and George Shaw bad come to the city with but one well defined ambition to gain a business foothold. John Doyle's successor in the grocery trade being second cousin to George Shaw's mother, he bad taken -the first thing at hand, a position as clerk in the tore where Doyle had once ruled with an iron hand. Perhaps the happiness of Louise was not the only thing at stake, in Doyle's 'mind. He might have cherished a se cret longing to maintain even a distant family connection with the scene, of his commercial success. At any rate, Mr. Shaw was In due time Invited to call, and Mr. Doyle fairly hugged him self when he saw the admiration in the young man's eyes on meeting Louise. But for six months matters progress ed no further. Mr. Shaw called at Ir regular Intervals, and was courteously received by Louise in the presence of her parents. From his point of vantage behind the cashier's booth Mr. Doyle studied the roung man whom he coveted as a son-in-law, and decided that an occasional cigar could be offered his Idol with im punity. In the meantime George Shaw was studying the uncertainties of cus tomers and markets, to the profound satisfaction ot his mother's second cou sin. When Mr. Shaw invited Louise to ac company him to the theatre, John Doyle went into tbe seventh heaven of delight Tbe calmness ot Louise irri tated her exuberant father. Tbe theatre-going became an estab lished weekly event, and Mr. Doyle beamed, even when defeated at pln tcble. Each day he spent less time In the rear room of Simpson's cigar store, nd longer visits were made to the grocery store. He bought a better brand of cigars, too, and proffered them at more frequent Intervals. But when Louise imperturbably an nounced that Mr. Shaw had Invited her to see Bernhardt In "L'Alglon," and followed up tbe Information with: the prosaic observation that her rainy- MATCHMAKER. J day ftklrt needed & new binding, the vials of Mr. Doyle's wrath were apiln unrorked. As the door closed on her retreating form, he turned to his wife: "Well, that beats me! I'll bet Oeorge paid every rent of 925 for those two seats, and she takes It as rool as It she was used to tilth treats every night In th-j week. I do believe she's more Interested In Dtlaneey's contract for that Nf.wport palace than In getting a husbend.'' "Like as not," tcsponded Mrs. Doyle, gathering the 'butter scraps for the cooking Jar. "An architect's contract is easily filled, but marriage Is uncer tain and It's got to stand for most of us. 1 dnn't see that there's such a rush about her settling down. She's do ing well. Besides, how do you know that Mr. Shaw wants her?" "Want her!" roared Mr. Doyle. "Who wouldn't want her? Ain't she pretty? Ain't Bhe blight and up to the mnrk every time? Ain't I got money to leave? And ain't she as cool as a cucumber, too, the Independent minx?" A week after the Bernhardt episode John Doyle came home fairly brim ming over wlih excitement. "What do you think? George has bought an interest In the store. Had a tidy bit of money laid by when he came down here, and seeing this was a good opening, bought in. Everybody around the store is tickled to death. Say, I Invited him round to dinner Sunday, to celebrate the occasion." Mrs. Doyle smiled. "That's nice." Louise likewise smiled placidly and passed her plate for another chop. John Doyle boiled Inwardly. "Don't care a rap. Tnis comes of letting her work among a lot of coun terjtimpers and upstart young brokers. She don't know a real man when she sees one." The next night Louise dined with two young women who lived In true Bohemian fashion. In two rooms with a bath. She came home animated and gossipy. "Oh, mother," she exclaimed, as she folded her new veil with thrifty care. "It's the dearest little den. The par lor couches are their beds at night, and inside there's a place for their gowns. And suih a cute dinner with a fern In the middle of the table, and every thing so easy to get canned soup, fried chicken and salad and things from the delicatessen store, and rolls heated In the gas oven, and charlotte russe, with the queerest black coffee and preserved sweets from India to finish off. No two dishes alike and each one with a his tory!" Mrs. Doyle patted the two slender hands that etole round her neck. "We had a good dinner, too, dearie, roly-poly pudding with strawberry Jam." "Not strawberry Jam." sighed Louise, "Naughty mother, not to wait till a night when I was home. I've been thinking thai, when Mr. Shaw came Sunday we might have something out of the ordinary, Just to celebrate the occasion.' This with a sly look at her father. "To be sure," responded Mrs. Doyle heartily. "The poor fellow has boaraed ever since he came to town. No doubt he'll enjoy some good home cooking. We'll have a fine roast of beef with both kinds of potatoes, celery and vegetables, and I'll make some extra thick mince pies." Louise tapped the table thoughtfully. "I know, mother dear, you're the best cook in the world, but don't you think it would be nice to have some little extras like well like the girls had tonight?" "Bless my soul," remarked Mrs. Doyla, wiping her glasses anxiously, when Louise left the room. "Whatever does she want. I'm sure " "Never mind what aho wants, she's going to have it," growled Mr. Doyle, In unconcealed triumph. "That's the first ray of sense she's shown since George's been coming here. Let her buy what she wants 'for Sunday," In fulfilment of this injunction, he pressed a ten-dollar bill into bis daugh ter's hand, bidding bcr spend It tor anything she liked for the momentous occasion. An when the two young people had retired to the pailor, after dinner on Sunday, and he was ex uberantly wiping the disbes for his wife, he remarked: "Well, Minerva, that dlnner'H do one of two things for George Shaw. It'll either kill him or make him pro pose." "I declare, John Doyle, I believe you've gone daft on the subject ot marrying oft Louise. But I must say that I do feel a bit squeamish myself after these Iced oysters." The next morning after breakfast Louise lingered over the task ot tying her veil and relm! toned her gloves ner vously. Finally she crossed abruptly to ber mother's side and rested one hand caressingly on the gray hairs. "Mother, I guess you'll have to teach me how to roast beef your way. George " Mr. Doyle started and his paper fell to bis knee. "George never never mentioned the salad, nor the char lotte rufcse, nor anything I bought, but be salu your beef and pies made him think of his mother and and when we go to housekeeping we're to have roast beef every Sunday." Mrs Doyle wheeled round to clutch at empty air. Louise bad vanished and the front door swung to with a crash. "Well, John Doyle, I hope you're sat isfied!' she exclaimeu, a suggestion of tears In her voice. , "Satisfied ain't no name for it, Min erva, If I'd bad him made to order I couldn't faa got a son-in-law to suit me better.

Natnre Hm Violence and by 1'nlllng he ubconaclnne Self In Control or the ttodjr scenrm Kestoretlen In Health Diseases Helped by ttelaiatlon. A now system of physical exorcise, formulated by a former supervisor of music In the public schools of Wash ington, has to do with the subcon scious mind, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Yawning and stretching are not generally considered Important, but as part of the so-called natural movement exercises they are regarded as significant, as they are usually the Initial movements. The following ac count of the exercises and their theory comes from their chief teacher: The first stop In these exercises is to He loosely clothed, with closed eyes and perfectly quiescent, until there Is consciousness of gravity In other words, until the weight of the body is realized. There miiBt be relaxation not only of the body, but also at the mind; the grasp on things In general must bo lessened and all action suspended as far as volition Is concerned. This de pends on whether c not the person needs the breath expansion which yawning brings. He may be so In the habit of deep breathing that he has no need of this particular form of Interior exercise at this time, or It may be that a habit of Insufficient breathing has so atro phied certain parts of his body that they must bo relaxed by other move ments before yawning Is possible. An assertion made for the natural movement exercise Is that it brings about an exact meeting of need and help. If one Is nervous, general re pose Is gained; the inert are stimu lated, end, In one part of the body is over-active, leaving another part ab normally Inactive, an equilibrium is established. No two individuals have exactly the same experience, but while differ ing in rate and power In each person, the spontaneous movements are all In accordance with certain general prin ciples. For example, a hysterical pa tient, when perfectly relaxed and when the will, for the nonce, is in abeyance, will massage one arm and hand from the elbow downward, with the opposite band, alternating from time to time. This at once Indicates the disease, and is the movement which quiets over-wrought nerves. The Involuntary tendency, when a person has remained long enough quiescent to be subject to the subconscious mind, to press with the fingers over the eyes, along the upper orbit Just under the eye brows, Is another Indication ot ex treme nervousness. Another Is the lifting of the spine when the patient is lying on the back. When the trouble Is Insomnia there Is a tendency to bring the bead for ward, repeating the action many times. As an act ot will thin movement tends to induce sleep, as by stretching the rerves and muscles of this part ot the body the nerve particles are Repa inted as by an opiate. Dolbear points out that sleep Is sim ply a separation of tbe nerve sheaths, and this movement has a tendency to bring about such separation. This Is why a kitten curls Itself up when it sleeps, and all animals drop or bring forward the head In sleep. In activity the particles which form the nerve sheaths are In Intimate contract, and the more intense tlie activity tho closer the contact. When there is contraction along the spine or In the region of the back, there Is a tendency to clasp the feet with the hands and straighten out the limbs, which acts as a self-adjusting derrick, stretching and strengthen ing the muscles and nerves. Brain fatigue is Indicated, and also relieved, by wiping off the face with the handB. Rubbing of the skin denotes ner vous irritation ot some sort, and deep movements, as taking as mtifh as pos sible ot the flesh of the arms and limbs with the hands, Indicate gen eral muscular contraction. The move ments of a neurotic are 'rapid, often almost a whirl. It is also assertej by the author of tbls system that these involuntary mo tions follow geometrical forms; that they are at first in straight and hori zontal lines, then vertical and oblique; after this, arches, circles, double cir cles and ovals are described. Also that there is Just as much stretching as there has been contraction. Nature hates violence, and tbe part moBt affected often comes Into motion tardily. More than this, like a colled spring, a nerve or muscle long con tracted tends to return to the abnor mal position, so that a cure is often a matter of considerable time. Stated briefly, the foundation fact of the natural movement system as a cure Is the one well known, but not so generally realized, thai absolutely per feci circulation Is perfect health. That Is, when all the exquisitely delicate and Infinitely numerous tubings of the human mechanism are normally open, so that the life fluids flow un restricted through them, there is the equilibrium which is unconscious health. That this state Is not common the briefest and most superficial obser vation demonstrates. To hold one's self tense, as if braced against some thing, Is so common as to be almost universal. This habit of body has Its source almost invariably in uncon scious habit ot mind. Tho value of various forms of phy sical culture Is the correcting of this fixed tension in villous parts of the bedy so that the tubings are normally open. It is pointed out that there art two reasons why ordlanry physical culture does not reach the more intri cate of these conditions First, a person Is not by any volun tary act able to locate them, and would not, even if they were discov ered to him, be able to reach them by movement controlled by bis con scious mind. Again, physical culture Is racial rather than special, and as each indi vidual Is different from every other It Is only when allwlse nature Is set In operation that the need of each Is adequately met. To understand Just what is asserted for the natural movement system ot exercise It la necessary to take Into account that man's Inherent and per sistent tendency In his subconscious ness is to be healthy and to return ever and again to the normal. Tbls Is demonstrated by the healing of wound by first Intention, and in many other ways. Still, man Is so truly a free moral agent that In a thousand ways his body Is contracted and hardened by his own action; while tho strong nat ural tendency Is to openness and flexi bility. When the tense and stiffened condition Is continued so persistently that It becomes fixed, the human meelinnlHin can do but partial and Imperfect work, as certain parts are then Incapacitated and their' duties are thrown on others, which have no capacity to fulfil them. It Is said that the natural movement system of exer cise by putting the subconscious self In control Becures restoration to per fectly normal conditions. As the author relates, this system was worked out from a very simple beginning. When preparing herself to teach. In watting aa her instructor directed, perfectly quiet for the breath to come with which to sing, she ob served that certain uniform move ments followed. She became Interest ed and began a series of experiments and observations. ' In doing this she found that when ever she completely relaxed herself and waited In quiet silence she was Invariably Inclined to movements which were quite involuntary. Yield ing to these, she found that from day to day they progressed In a reg ular sequence, and, alBO, she found her health constantly Improving. Incited by her success with herself, she set about studying as did Preyer and Darwin. When she was satisfied that she had found a law which, while simple, was far-reaching, she proceed ed to test the value of the system thus evolved. To make sure tliat she had made a valuable discovery, she obtained per mission to see what she could do with patients at the Boston dispensary In Boston. Here Bhe treated, and Is said to have cured, several cases of St. Vitus' dance, and a case of sciatica of long standing. One child who had spinal trouble was, by actual meas uremrnt, four Inches taller at the end of six weeks' treatment than at tha beginning. It was found that nervous diseases were almost Invariably helped by tnla exercise. A United States senator, suffering from extreme nervousness and insomnia was cured, and he now constantly practices these exercises. FROM TEACHER'S DESK TO FARM. A Woman Who Ipla Ilia Aid of the Dilator lllrrd Sinn. Miss Abbie PfelTcr bears tha distinc tion of being the only woman in In diana who conducts a l'arm without any assistance. With her aged mother Miss Pfeffcr lives In a quaint little house three miles southeast of Mlsa waka. She takes care ot 40 acres of land, ploughing It, attending to the harvesting, and doing all the necessary chores. Miss Pfcffer Is a niece of former Sen ator Pfeffcr ot Kansas. When her father died ten years ago she began teaching school. She bad then jUBt fin ished her studies at the University ot Indiana. But at tnla time Miss Ffet fer's mother became an Invalid. She had been managing the farm after the death of ber husband, and when she was stricken with an ailment that pre vented her from leaving the bouse she appealed to her daughter to manage the land. When the young woman took charge of tho farm several men were working on It. MIbb Pfcfl'er was a most exact ing employer. Furthermore, sho did not think the men got as much out of the land as it was able to produce. So she discharged them. Since then no man has performed a day's work on the Pfeffcr property. The former school teacher has "run" the farm during tbe summer and win ter; the girl who was graduated from one ot Indiana's lending universities guides the plough through the soil; she who at one time saw a brilliant future before her harvests the grain. Her hands, which were once white and soft, have become callous and brown In the performance of that work which calls her to the fields at sunrise and finds her In the garden at sunset. But In spite of ail this she says that it she were asked to choose between farming and teaching school she would keep right on working in tbe fields. The hardest work performed by MIeb Pfcffer Is raising strawberries. She is the recognized owner of the finest tract of strawberries in the state, and the name of the "Pfeffer berries" is a widely known one. The greater part of them are shipped to Chicago, where they find a ready market, and it Is from this product that Miss Pfeffer U-- rives most ot her income. In addition to cultivating the forty acre tract, .Miss Pfeffer also docs all the marketing,, churns butter, and maintains an inviting lawn, with floral beds, In front of the house, around which she herself built a well-made picket fence.

Formerly, when paper for news papers was made of rags, old paprs had somo value In the eyes of the old rag man, but In these days when all such paper Is made from wood pulp paper with printing on is worth noth ing. An English paper maker has lately demonstrated a system however whereby he repulps old newspapers and makes clean new paper from them, of a quality equal to the original. Tho main difficulty In such a process Is to get rid of the carbon of the printing Ink, which does not yield to bleaching. It was recently suggested to the In stitution of Civil Engineers In lxmdon that solid metals might reveal by their structure the vibrations to which they have been subjected. Professor Roberts-Austen made a series of experi ments, showing that a wave-structure may be Imparted to the surface ot mercury by the vibrations of a tuning fork. He also showed that a surface of solid lead possesses a structure re sembling that of a vibrating surface of mercury, ibis was done by subjecting the lead to vibrations slmllur to those used with mercury. Th flow of Texas rivers has been studied by the hydrographlc parties of the United States Geological Sur vey. Dally records of wate:' heights and frequent measurements by current meter of the velocity and volume of water carried by each stream are made. The economic value of such hydro graphic surveys Is well Illustrated by two examples. The flow of the Brazos river at Waco was the lowest on rec ord during the past season and the Waco dam, with a head of 30 feet, de veloped only 130 horse-power. Tbe minimum flow of the Colorado was found to be only ono-flfth of what was popularly estimated at the time the bonds were Issued for the dam at Austin. Tne comparatively small cost of such surveys repays taxpayers and investors a hundred fold. Coal Mining Machlnee. Actual figures referring to the use ot coal-cutting machines In the two coun tries show that 311 such machines were In use In Great Britain In 1900, whereas In America there were 3907, or about twelve and a half times the number, this figure corresponding ap proximately with the ratio of the per centages cut by machines In the two countries, namely, 1 1-2 per cent and 20 per cent. It should be pointed out, however, that a British mining Is very largely on the long-wall system, the 311 machines Include a large num ber of long-wall and heading ma chines, while the 3907 machines in America Include 2350 of the pneumatic percussive type, which Is, of course, a much smaller and cheaper machine. Still, In the States there were 1509 chain breast machines and 48 long walled machines, and the increase In the percentage of coal-mlnlng by ma chlneiy In West Virginia wasfromSt. 27 percent in 1899 to 15.09 percent In 1900. The corresponding Increase for Pennsylvania (considering the bitu minous coal only) was 29.07 percent to 33.05 percent Engineering Maga zine. Tip on Walking. Steps that are quick are Indicative of energy and agitation. Tip-toe walking symbollzet, surprise, curiosity, discretion or mystery. Turned in toes are often found with preoccupied, absent-minded persons. The miser's walk is represented as stooping, noiseless, with short, ner ve us, anxious steps. Slow steps, whether long or short, suggest a gentle or reneetive state of mind, as the case may be. Tbe proud step is slow and meas ured, the toes ere conspicuously turned out; the legs straightened. Where a revengeful purpose is hid den under a feigned smile the step will be slinking and noiseless. The direction of the tep3 wavering and following overy changing impulse of the mind Inevitably betrays uncer tainty, hesitation and indecision. Obstinate people, who in argument rely more cn muscularity than on in tellecual power, rest the feet flatly and firmly on the ground, walking heavily and slowly and stand with tho legs firmly planted aud far apart El.

Two Oerman anatomists, who have given much attention to the sub ject, are confident that the first-mentioned skeletons must be ascribed to a distinct species of man, which they have named Hoho Ncauderthaliensls. The Javanese skeleton, which Its dis coverer calls pithecanthropus (monkey-man) is lower down In the evolu tion scale, and the direct ancestor ot both, who may be regarded as the rarllest man, must have lived, they think, as far back as the Pliocene per iod of geological time.
