"It seems as If Vincent thought

Amelia, with the air of a martyr,
studied the advertisements with in

Vincent even ceased to find fault,

Bitter thoughts of him were In her

spark of the love he had felt for her
had died out. She was schooling her
self not to care, because It was not her
fault, and thinking how horrible It
would be If her friends discovered the

Ugh!

Cats "Under Fire."
A lady who was in Fort Arthur dnr.
Ing the bombardment of Admiral To
go's lleet has described tbo curious
effect on cats by the cannonade. "I
was at my window during each bom
bardment," she relates, "but only
through the day, because at night I
did not dare to stir out of bed. In
front of mo there was a little roof on
which five or six eats of the neighbor
hood collected. Each time there was a
bombardment the cats duly arrived,
and, having observed them, I on the
second occasion proceeded to watch
them. With my family we passed
the hours looking at them.
At each gunshot the cats arched
their backs and stiffened their legs
and seemed both terrified and furious.
Then when a hissing Rbell arrived it
gave the signal for a frightful battle.
They Jumped at each other, raging
like tigers, and seemed to hold each
other responsible for what was taking
place. Te effect was so comical that
we could not help langhing, although
the occasion did not Inspire gayety.
After having fought, the cats retired
for awhile, as though bewildered, but
soon as the bombardment bean again
they went through the same business.
Each time it was always the same."

Indeed, the hanging of a picture
makes it a great success or a disas
trous failure as a decoration. Where
there Is a blaze of light, for example,
either from windows In the daytime
or lamps nt night, it Is unwise to hang
pictures whose colors are vivid, and,
on the other hnnd, those same pictures
perceptibly brighten dark corners, ball

Democrat. Small pictures should be grouped;

color of the cloth are also needed.
Cut the cheese-cloth Into five breadths,

give two and a half breadths In width

cotton on the cheese-cloth in the framo

ELECTRICITY IN THE LABORATORY
Professor Merse'e r'nrnac and Ita Many
Advantages,
riannon V. Morse, professor of an
ilytical cntmlstry at the Johns Hopkins
University and adjunct director of the
chemical laboratory, has Invented and
recently perfected an electric furniree
which, it Is believed, will revolutionize
practical laboratory vt-ork In chemistry,
says the Kaltlmnre Sun. The ordinary
copper oven Is encased In a box doubly
lined with asbestos, with nlr space be.
tween, the whole covered with n Hi in In.
lum pnlnt, which is not effected by
high temperatures, is a very poor heat
radiator and preserves tlr, asbestos
from shredding. .This arrangement
practically prevents any loss of heat by
radiation.
The source of hent Is In the stove,
which Is placed within the copper oven.
The construction of this store Is the
Ingenious part of the apparatus, and
requires the highest type of experi
mental skill. It Is constructed of a
number of parallel slabs of soapstone
coated with graphite, the soapstone
being unaffected by the heat. The
graphite must bo evenly distributed
over the slabs of soapstone. In order
that the heat mr.y be developed uni
formly over the turface. The oven It
self Is not so difficult of construction,
but the making of the heating appara
tus within, thror.gh which the electrle
current is pnssed, has formed the great
stumbling block In the way of former
investigators. This electric furnnce
can be operated at a cost of less than
one cent r. day. A constant tempera
ture of l.'O degrees can be obtained
for eight hours at a stretch at a cost
of three-fourths of a cent
Snperatlllnns For June.
June was tho month which the Ilo

if the day chosen was that of the full
moon; the month of May, on the con
trary, being especially U be avoided
ns under the influence ot spirits ad
verse to happy households.
Hence the June brides.
All these paean superstitions were
retained In the Middle Ages, with many
others which belonged more particu
larly to the spirit of Christianity.
The "best man," by the way, used tc
cut quite an Important part In Sweden,
In ancient days It was 1- r.eath the dig
nlty of a Scandinavian warrior to court
a woman's favor by gallantry and sub
mission. He waited until she had be

The Mlsrhli-r of Statistic.
The announcement thnt the dlreclnr
of the Y'ale "commons" has been
obliged to put. up the price of meals
to $4.r0 a week henceforth and thnt at
the old price of n dollar or so less the
college has lost !?J0 a year., will doubt
less fill the hearts of many pntlent
housekeepers with unspoken gratitude,
For years the American housewife has
been suffering from the boleful activity
of the man of statistics, who proves
conclusively In the columns of endless
periodicals that ff.1 a week will feed
anybody royally, and that a delightful
dinner may be given for $2.50, Includ
ing flowers. A great pence comes to
tho harassed souls when a thoroughly
equipped organization like Y'ale gives
up the struggle, and frankly owns de
feat by raising prices.
A periodical ostensibly devoted to
the Interests of the American home
once published statistics showing hoi
a man and wife and two children had
lived comfortably on $'J00 a year. Th
misery caused by these statistics, over
tho whole broad land, was beyond com
putation. These facts from Yale, wo

Alcohol vitiutc the blood, inflames the
stomach, ovevtaxe the heart, destroys the
kidneys, hardens the liver nnd loftcna tha
brain. Norma Karr, M. D.
Alcohol ia n nnison. It kills in lar;a
dope, and half kills in smaller ones. It
produces insanity, delirium, tits. It poi
sons the blood and wn.-itcs the man. 1'ro

An experience of more than twenty
years sometimes under excemionally try
ing cirenniKtanecs has proved to me thnt
the daily use of alcohol, even in small
quantities, is prejudicial in cold climates.
Dr. Flae, Arctic KNpedilion.
How I wish that the truth that alcohol
la not a food, not a suitainer of the living
energies, and that all habit-producing
tlrtip, and drinks nubvert the inteirrity of
the human nervous system could be en
graved upon the hearts and lives of every
man, woman and child in our laud. Cor

The beer drinker may be the picture ol
licilih, but in reality he is most incapn
ble of resisting ilibeiu-e. A aiiitiit injury,
severe cold, or shoek to the body or initid
will commonly promote acute dUeaie end

who use different forms of alcohol, ho ia

of accepting the scientific tradition,
that the earth Is a molten mass, which
has been cooling- off for millions of
years, suggests that radium is the)
source ot heat and Is not only la th
