"SENORITA ROSALIA.
Fy Ella M. Bangs.
4 V DOe t
Stuart Dudley, had been live days in
Mexico City, hut he told himself tknt
a lifetime would not be long enough to
become indi.ieienl to his surroundings,
the orionl ril-IIke scenes slid far hori
zon mountains rising rose or violet
lined against a turquoise sky. It was
Sund-'.y and the young man tcok his
vay toward the old cathedial anticl-palinf.-'
s-till other r.w sensations, nor
was he disappointed, for hardly had
he entered whfn his attention v.a3
catiriu li.v one of tlie figures kneeling
around him, one that was girlish and
graceful, with a lace ninntilla falling
over liar head and shoulders. As ha
moved nearer the girl arose and turn
ed toward him a face so darkly beauti
ful that he forgot all else and gazed
in nd mi. at ion. Two duennas accom
panied her, middle aged women, stout,
dark-skinned and common, while be
tween them the brilliant young sen
orita sparkled like a Jewel. In the con
fusion of leaving the church Stuart
lost sight of her, hut for the remainder
of the day wherever he went that one
face seemed to come between him and
all else.
He, was in Mexico in the interest of
a business investment, and the man
with whom lie had most to do was
senoi' Don Joo Riverol, who with
charming hospitality, invited him to
dine nt his home. So it came about
that one evening Stuart found himself
being presented to the members of
the Riverol household, Sonera do Sato
and Kai.orua Riverol, then after tho
two elder lr.dlcs, "My daughter, Ro
salia" slid Don Jose, and the young
man found himself for tho second time
looking into tho face of his dreams,
for, yes, it was she, and mere beauti
ful than ever in her ro3e-co!ored drap
eries. The older ladies, sisters cf Don
Jose, who acted as duennas for the
motherless Rosalia, spoke no English
and the girl but little, so as Stuart's
Spanish left much to be desired he be
gan on the following day a vigorous
study of Hie language of the country.
His calls at the home of Don Jose
became frequent. Ke blessed the fact
that a business transaction is hardly
the accomplishment of one week or
two In this land of man.ma, and if
often he found the senor not at home
he was cr.ly too glad to call upon the
beautiful senorita who seamed r.ot
averse to it herself. One or both of
the aunts was always present at tlie-e
times, but they were not eo quick as
their niece to understand the faulty
Spanish of their guest, so the young
man made the most of these occasions
villi a clear conscience, for had not
Don Jose with the effusion of his coun
trymen assured him that tho honss
and all it contained was his? So Ro
salia sang to him. accompanying her
self on the mnndolin. . will gng 'La
Golondrina,' the song of Mexico.' sh
Bald in her soft voire, "you will be
pleased with It."
In his turn Si part sang rollesc
songs, seated nt the rial", where he
presented not a bad flrvure himself,
wlih his shapely head, ar.d brown hair
and eyes. . The words being English
mattered not so long as the music was
tuneful; so he sang "Fair Harvard"
and "Take My Love to Rosalie," smil
ing over at Senorita Rosalia with the
lost word, and the girl responded with
one of her own slow, bewitching
smiles, as she recognized the similar
ity in names. When, however, he sang
'I Know a Maiden Fair to See, Be
ware," he turned to And -ark, eyes
regarding him' with so prae .a glance
as to cause a query to flicker through
his mind as to whether she rea'ly un
derstood as little English as she pro
)
fesaed. Several times, when entering
the patto, Stuart met a young man
Who returned his glance with one to
fierce that ihe wondered what he had
done to merit It. The days went on,
whHe more and more the young Amer
ican fell under the spell of Rosalia's
sparkling eyes nnd red lips parting
with a smiling flash of white teeth.
Tho business upon which he had come
was completed, still he stayed on till
cno ovning he resolved to call upon
Don Jose and make a formal proposal
for tho hand of his daughter. The
gent Ionian was out when he reached
the house, but he Inquired for the la
dies, and was roon listening to the soft
lisp of Rosalia, with only Senora de
Sato ns duenna. At length ho rose
to go.
"I have stayed too long, I'm afraid."
'he said, laughingly, "but I must go
from Mexico so soon.'
"la It soon?" tho girl asked,
"It must he."
"Oh, but the senor will wait for my
party, It Is to be but tho evening after
tomorrow."
"I did not know" "Si, my be
trothal party.''
"Your' betrothal," faltered the young
man, while tho room seemed to grow
dark around him.
"Yes, has not my father told you?
You cannot have failed to meet Senor
Don Antonio, he comes orten."
"Yes," with sudden enlightenment,
"I must have met him, but I didn't
know. I I wish you happiness," he
added.
"And yon, senor, you will go back
and marry the beautiful lady with
tho eyes of blue, whose picture you
have shown me?'
Stuart shook his head. "I cannot
tell," he answered.
For a moment neither spoke. The
Senora do Sato was. asleep in her
chair. Suddenly, impulsively, the girl
reached out both her hands. "It has
been a happiness to know you," she
said, softly.
"It has been something more than
happiness for me," he returned.
Rosalia bit her red lips nnd avert
ed her face, then she drew her hands
away and a few minutes later Stuart
was going out through the picturesque
patio for the last time.
The following' day ho started home
ward, but even tho novelty of a new
route failed to lift the cloud that had
settled over his life.
His business Investment he never
regretted, and a year from the time
of his1 return he married pretty, pink
cheeked, blue-eyed Edith Farley. Life
has been kind to Stuart Dudley, bring
ing him ns much of prosperity and
happiness as a man can expect to have,
but now and then, he lives in memory
that vi3it beyond the Rio Grande,
and at these times he seems to see
once more the dark beauty of the Sen
crita Rosalia. Boston Tost
NEW OATH IN ENGLAND.
Kissing the Book to Become a Thing
of the Past.
If tho oaths bill Is passed and It
has obtained a second reading in the
Housa of Lords "kissing the Book,"
the present insanitary and undignified
form of oath taking, will practically
become a thing of the past. Every wit
ness will be sworn Willi his hand up
lifted, unless he voluntarily objects to
being sworn in that fashion or is phy
sically incapable of so taking tlie oath.
The witnesses who will avail them
selves of their option, to "kiss the
Rook" will be even less numerous
than thase who have been accustomed
to exercise their right to be sworn
with uplifted hand The right has not
been exercised, our contemporary
adds, because the majority of witness
es, however great their dislike to the
insanitary oath, have been unwilling
to make themselves conspicuous in a
court of justice by making an unusual
request.
Wfllh the abolition of "kissing the
Book" in England the insanitary oath
will practically disappear from the civ.
ilized world. In France tho Judge
says: "You swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
troth" and the witness, lifting up his
right hand, answers, "I swear." In
Austria the witness says, with uplift
ed hand, "I swear by God tho Al
mighty and All Wise that I will spe ak
the truth, and answer to Anything I
may be asked by the Court." Where
the Bible has its appolniled place in
the ceremony it is touched by the hand
and not held to the Hps.
In Italy the witness placing his
hand upon an open Bible says, "I
swear to tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth." In
Spain the ceremony is similar, though
rathar more elaborate. Evon among
less civilized peoples the ceremony of
oath taking is destitute of the kiss.
A Mohammedan witness, holding the
Koran in his right hand, bends down
until his forehead touches the sacred
volume. Breaking a saucer Is orte
method with tho Chinese, slicing o5
a fowl's head another, blowing out a
lighted candle a third, all represent
ing, of course, the awful fate that
awaits the Chinese witness who does
not tell the truth. From the Law

, Salt Is Corrosive.
Many railroad mechanical engineers
are r.ow struggling with the problem
of preventing the corrosive drippings
from the refrigerator cars on the steel
ijnd Iron. It was found by examination
on one railroad that the damage of
thsi sort amounted to oyer $1000 por
mile per year. The plnn now Is to
make the. refrigerator cars drip-proof.
Physicians have advanced the . state
ment that if salt will have such an ef
fect on Iron and steel it is also very
injurious to the human stomach.

A Statesman's Confession.
For all his caustic wit, Thomas B.
Reed of Maine was as tender of heart
as large ot frame. Ho was not much
of a hunter. "I never shot but one
bird in my life," ho onoe confessed.
"h spent a wholo day doing that. It
was a sandpiper. I chased him for
hours up and down a mill stream.
When at last I potted him and held
him up by one of his poor little legs,
I never felt moro ashamed of myself
In all my life. I hid him in my coat
tail pocket for fear somebody wxuld
see how big I was aud how small the
victim, and I never will be guilty
again of the cowardice of auch un
equal battle." Christian Register.
His Arithmetic.
A member of a school board was
visiting a public school not long ago
when he encountered a small boy in
the hall.
"What are you studying, my boy?"
the visitor asked.
"Arithmetic and geography," ans
wered the boy.
"And what are you learning in
arithmetic?"
The boy thought for a minute, then
he replied: "Guzinta."
"Guzinta?" said the surprised offi
cial. "What's that?",
"Why, don't you know " said the
boy. "Two guzinta four, three guzinta
six, four guzinta eight, five guzinta
ten." Llppiucott's.
Ants Have Combs.
No creature is more tidy than an
ant, who cannot tolerate the pres
ence of dirt on her body. These little
creatures actually use a number of
real toilet articles in keeping them
selves clean. No less an authority
than Dr. McCook says their toilet ar
tioles consist of coarse and fine tooth
ed combs, hair brushes, aponges, and
even washes and soap. Tlioir saliva
is their liquid soap, and thehr soft
tongues are their sponges. Their
combs, however, are the genuine arti
cle nnd differ from ours mainly In
that they are fastened to their leivs.
The ants have no set time for their
toilet operations, but stop and clean
up whenever they get soiled. St.
Nicholas.
Adventure of a Bby Boy.
A person who lived some years in
South Africa tells the following
story: The Infant son of one of the
Dutohi settlers had strayed away.
After some time a search party dis
covered little footprints loading . in
the direction of the bush. Following
up these, they came upon a large opnn
space, at the farther side of which
thoy discovered the object of their
search sitting hugging a little wooden
doll and munching a piece of bread
and butter.
Bsfore they could make their way
through the thick, tangled under
growth a large lion Bprang into the
clearing. Tho little boy, far from be
ing frightened, ran to meet the lion,
holding up his bread and butter, and
said: "Take a bite, doggie." The
father stood powerless to move or
speak through fear, expecting each in
stant to see the child crushed uudor
the lion's paw; but. Instead of doing
as he dreaded, the Hon turned hlmseir
Qver and lay on his back at the chlld'B
feet, looking up in his face as a cat
would do, at play,
Watching his opportunity, tlie fath
er raised his gun and fired, hitting
the lion in the leg. The animal
sprang up and, leaving the child,
rushed on the party, injuring two of
the number before It was finally kill
ed. From this circumstance the child
was immediately christened by the
settlers "Daniel." San Francisco,

The Lost Turkey.
Six years ago, my. mother, father
and I were at my grandfather's farm
on autumn. He owned pigs, horses,
ducks, chickens, cows, cats and dogs
galore, while his daughters was the
possessor ot six fine turkeys. Well,
one afternoon toward 5 o'clock, the
time when the turkeys were put to
bed (or rather escorted to bed), thoy
gathered outside the farmhouse door,
as they always did, to wait for some
one to walk down to the barn with
them.
This afternoon we heard a "gobble!
gobb'e!" outside, and the family came
out to sae what it was. There stood
five of the turkeya huddled on the
doorstep. But wheYo was tho sixth?
Auntie called and hunted for this bird,
but not a sign could he seen of hira
anjrWhere. In tha mean time grand
pa had built a fire in tho kitchen
range, as it was cool. Just thon we
hoard a queer noise in the direction
of the roof, and looking np we saw a
dark form on the chimney. Someone
cried: "It's the turkey gobbler! "
We procured a ladder and, my fath
er, laying aside his clerical coat, also
his dignity, climbed up and proceed
ed to rescue the "gobbler."- We ex
pected to see him take a toboggan
slide down the slanting roof, but for
tune favored him, and he did not slip,
and cama down triumphantly with the
turkey waving lis long neck and gob
blias genUy under his arm. I reliev
ed my father of his burden and car
ried the truant to the barn, accom
plaining by his five noisy and com
plaining relatives. There I placed
hlra on his roost, and the othors,
seeming Joyful in tho recovery a
their brother, flew up" beside him.

Is A Bird 8uperlor?
What hi the bill of a bird and what
does It mean? asks a writer in the
Strand Magazine. I do not refer, "he
continues, to the bill of a hawk, or a
heron, or an owl, or an ostrich, but to
that which Is tho abstract of all these
and a thoumnd more. I hold, regard
less of anatomy and physiology, that
a bird Is a higher being than a beast.
No beast soars and slugs to its sweet
heart; no beast remains in lifelong
partnership with the wife of its
youth; no beast builds itnelf a sum
mer house and decks It with feathers
and bright shells. A beast Is a grovel
ing denizen of tho earth; a bird is a
free citizen of the air. And who can
Bay that there la not a connection be
tween this dlffwMice and other de
velopments? The beast, th hiking
only of its appetites, has evolved a
delicate nose, a discrimiuatlng palate,
three kinds of teeth to cut, toar, and
grind Its food, salivary glands to
moisten tlie same and a perfected ap
paratus of digestion. The bird occu
pied with thoughts of love and beau
ty, with "fields, or waves, or moan
tains" nnd "shapes of airy or plain,"
has made little advance in the art and
Instruments of good living. It swal
lows Its food whole, scarcely knowing
the taste of It, and a pair of forceps
for picking it up tipped and cased
with horn. Is the wholo of its dining
furniture. For the bill of a bird, pri
marily and essentially, Is that and
nothing else. In the chickens aud tha
sparrows that coina to steal thair
food, and the robin that looks on, and
all the little dicky-birds, you may
see it In its simplicity. The alae andi
shape may vary, as a Canadlaa as
differs from a Scotch ax; some ara
short and atout and have a sharp
edge for shelling seeds; some are
longer and flna-polnted, for picking
worms and caterpillars out of tbair
hiding placa; some a little hooted
at their points, and one, that of the
croas-blll, with points crossed for
picking the small seeds out ot Or
couea; but all are nrxcally 018
same tool Yet the last dtatlnotly
points tfie way to those modi&catieae
by which the simple bill is gradually
adapted to oua special purposa or an
other, until it becomes a wonderful

The Pelican and the Rat.
Hidalgo Pete, who hails from tha
Spanish Maui and is the most aadate
of all tlie pelicans In Central Park,
was peeking idly at the wire cage of
the pelican house, pausing now and
then to glance suspiciously at his
cage mates, Slgnor Gomez and San
chez Hoollhoo, for they had bean
abusing him of late.
Everything was very quiet In the
park menagerie. Bob Hurtln, one ot
the keepers, was busy cleaning out a
drain near the corner of the tiger
house, when a rat suddenly darted
from the mouth of the drain, ran be
tween the keeper's logs, and darted
for the tiger house. Jack, the frteky
little fox terrier and official ratcatch
er, ran after it, barking wildly. Jack
was nearly upon it, when the rat
wheeled, sprang ove-r the dog's head
and hoaded for the pelican house.
Tho meshes of the poUcan house
wire are just largo enough for a rat
to squseze through. The rat selected
a mesh, and dived through, pausing
an instant as It landed on the gravel
floor of the pollcans' domain. Hidal
go Pete and his two relatives were
nqulver with excitement. TMwsy are
nervous birds, in spite of their se
date appearance.
Tho rat had scarcely recovered Its
equilibrium when Hidalgo Pete, with
one ungainly hop and a coupla of
flaps of his broad wings, reached the
rodent and pecked viciously at it.
But he missed tho rat by an Inch
and his beak buried Itself In- the
gravel Hidalgo Pete toppled over hi
a heap, and gave an angry squawk as
ho regained his foot and tried to
shake the gravel out of his pouch.
The two other pollcans were also
in action by this time. Sanohes Hooll
hoo was close behind ' Hidalgo Pete,
and he, too, made a lung at the rat,
with mouth wide open.
Thon the rat disappeared for a mo
ment, Hidalgo Pete and Signer Gomez
looked quickly around for it. But the
rat was inside the pouch of Sanchez
Hoollhoo, as became quite evident
very auickly. In describing the affair
afterward, Keener Hurtln said:
"It was about the funniest thing I
ever saw. I haven't stopped laughing
yet. That Hoollhoo pelican got more
than he bargained for, I guess. Sure
ly ho didn't want to swallow a live
rat. He only wanted to give it a peck
hard enough to kill it. ' But I guess
that in the excitement ho went at the
rat with his mouth open, for the rat
certainly got inside that two foot
pouch of Hoollhoo's.
"I am not quite sure what happen
ed inside the pouch, but the rat must
have hit Hoollhoo some, for all of a
sudden that pelican raised straight
up In the air, his mouth came open
and out jumped the rat The way
Hoollhoo squawked was a caution.
He kept beating his wings and run
ning around In circles for five min
utes. "The rat hit the gravel floor and
got out of the pelican fcouse In jig
time. Jack was waiting for it outside
and killed it. Inter-Ocean.

8 to tho comparative tribulations of the married state, does
the man who ij'.arries gives no hostages to fortune beyond
tlioso provided by his collaborator? Is It for his own selllsh
croature comforts that ho bolt3 his breakfast, rushes for the
morning train, and stows in the city all to earn an income
of which he personally spends only a fifth or a titho? Are
dressmakers' bills merely part of his unholy, selllsih joy?
Once a man becomes a husband, has ho nothing to bear and
S3
forbear? Has the compound word "henpjeked" crept use
lessly into our language? Has no man's' "individuality" been sapped or over
whelmed by an overpowering personality in petticoats? Though it be true
that a wife has no "wages," Is a husband allowed to husband) his? Though a
wife may be "a slave to her husband," fcas the converse phrase no sanction
from exporlenco? And though a mother be "a slave to her children," has a
father no parental cares? Are there no households In which a father has to
sink his "Individuality" and preferences and wishes allow his meals to be
fixed, where he shall live, when and whore he shall take his holidays, and even
how long he shall remain in harness "for the sake of the children?" Is a "de
voted husband" merely a contradiction In terms? Is marriage always Beer
and skittles for tho husband, and never cakes and ale for the wife? And as to
the comparative losses and gains of entering the marriage Btate, does the man
standing at the altar surrender nothing and incur no resposlbltiueg rrom
which ho would otherwise be free, and does the woman acquire nothing but
Ihe burden of fresh duties and a gold ring of asomewhat monotonous pattern?
I apologize for tho elementary and homely character of these Interroga
tories. But the fact that thoy arise out of a current controversy shows where
that controversy is taking us. And bo I put the question, as a matter for
timely discussion. Who gains most by marriage, man or woman? And that
question cannot be answered without answering the deeper question: "In the
interest of which sex (apart altogether from the institution of home and the
entity of family) is it most necessary that the institution of marriage should
be preserved?"

The Dream Book of j
Modern Science ?
Ey H. Jlddington Eruce.
ODERN science Is writing a dream book of its own to take
the place of the unauthorized and mischievous manual In
vogue among the superstitious. When completed it will
be a remarkable production, wonderfully interesting and
thoroughly practical and helpful.
Science, cf course, does not assert that all dreams are
significant. A good niaDy dreams and especially the com
moner dreams ot falling, Hying, and the various forms of
nightmare merely testify to some trifling disturbance ot
M
tha physical organism of the dreamer. This has long been recognized, and
tho text-books aro full jot anecdotes showing how dreams may be made to
order, so to speak.
One experimenter, by tickling a sleeper's nosa, caused him to dream that
tar was being plastered over his face and then violently pulled off, causing
agonizing pain; uncovering his knees gave him a dream of traveling in a
stage-coach in the dead of winter and suffering frightfully from the cold; put
ting a hot-water bottle to his feet made him dream that he was walking over
the lava of an active volcano.
But while appreciating tho inconsequential character of dreams induced
by eucb. means, as also by indulgence in late suppers, the cramping of a
muscle through, lying too long in one position, or tho slipping off of the bed
clothes, scienoe insists that there are times when even the most trivial of
dreams rm,f be profoundly portentous.
