It made her ugly to think her rronoy would go to hos pitals and asylums, but she vowed it should go thefo if Stuyve would not take her name, and marry, so that it might le perpetuated. But Stuyve had stuck to his art and his manhood, until this girl came in his way. "Aunt Rutherford did not look much at the wording of his promise. What she wanted was, that the money and tho name should stay together; and she did not care whether affection or self-interest prompted him, as long as he came to her way in the end. So she beamed on hiin, and called him a dear, good boy, and sent for her law yer, and the thing was done. And no sooner was it done than Stuyvesant went to Miss Vanderling. I won't say that ho put it quite this way, but it was ell the same as if he luid said: " 'Now, Miss Vanderling, I am rich, too. lam fx) have my aunt's millions, to match your own, a house in town and a country scat, and I shall keep a yacht. I atu not a poor devil of a painter any longer, and I want you to marry me.' "Of course Miss Vanderling throw him over, as any girl of spirit would have done. And Stuyve ha in't scusc enough to understand it.

I think he would have got the girl. But as it was—bah! it leaves a bad taste in my mouth." To wash it away the Old Beau poured out a copious draught of wine. And when be had drank it he went on to the finish: "But he kept the money, and gave his word to marry some one—before tho yenr was out. But Aunt Ruther ford died before that, and there was no one to care whether he did or not. So he never has. But he has the town place, and the country place, and the yacht. lie had the impudence to ask me to cruise with him one year—but a friend in tho world lie hasn't" While my companion drank another glass of wine, I thought of the final question: "And Miss Vanderling?" "She has never married. God bless the girl." From which I concluded that the Old Beau had a tender spot in his heart for the girl who had been true to her ideal, and I loved him none the less for it.

An Absent-Minded Man. The following anecdote of an üb sented-minded man has lately come to hand, and while some of you may hn ve heard it before, it seems to be too good to 1k passed over entirely. Among the personal anecdotes told of l'etor Burrovves, the celebrated bar rister and one of Ireland's "worthies," is the following remarkable instance of absence of mind: A friend called upon him one morning In his dressing room, and found him shaving with his face to the wall. He asked him why he chose so strange an attitude. The answer was: "To look in tho glass." "Why," said his friend, "there is no glass there!" "Bless mo!" Burrowes observed, "I did not notice that before." Ringing the bell, he called his serv ant. and questioned him respecting his looking-glass. "Oh, sir," said the servant, "the mis tress had it removed six weeks ago."— Harper's Young I'eople. Familiar. A friend of mine has just hod a most unpleasing experience.

Ftrnnq: Additional Kvidnnce That Land Surround* the Southern Lnd of tho Earth's Axis—Groat Antarc tic Continent. The most important geographical discoveries mode in the antarctic re gions since Ross traced a ; art of Victo ria Land's coast and saw its smoking mountains fifty-two years ago have just been reported by an old and well known Norwegian whaler, Capt. Lni> sen. . Capt. Larson forwarded his log to Dr. John Murray, the well-known Scot tish scientist and member of the Chal lenger expedition, who has Just pub lished the extract from tho Jason's journal in tho Scottish Geographical Magazine. Geographies show a large land mass, known as Graham's Land, lying across the antarctic circle south of Cape Horn. Except Victoria Land, which lies on the other side of the antarctic area, Graham's Lund is the largest bit of U r ru ftrma that has yet been found in south polar waters. It was discovered by John Biscoo In 1831. Capt. Larson's recent achievement • was to steam for clays along a wholly unknown part of the east coast of the great land mass, and when he was finally compelled to turn north again he could still ecu the lofty summit of the mainland stretch ing south and east as far as the eye could reach. I)r. John Murray and others believe that in those days ho was skirting a part of the coast of tho great antarctic continent, and, while he was adding to our knowledge of tho coastline around tho south pole, he also discovered some volcanoes in a highly active state, showing that Plu tonic energy in that part of the world has not yet died out, and that its activ ity there is mcc widely distributed than we had an 3' reason to suppose. It was about eighty miles north of the antarctic circle that Larr.cn discov ered a chain of five little islands, ex tending in a straight line from north west to southeast. The most northern is about ten miles from the mainland. Two of these islands arc active vol canoes. Our maps show that all around the antarctic area, in the neighborhood of the south polar circle, bits of land have been discovered. It is noteworthy that y/h y CONJECTURED OUTLINE OF THE ANTARCTIC! CONTINENT. scarcely one of these bits of land has been explored in its whole extent. The explorers did not ascertain wheth er the land they saw was islands or projections from some great land mass. Discoverers have very rarely been able to effect a landing on account of the belt of pack ice or ice floes, often ten to twenty miles wide, that separated them from the shoro. There are sev eral excellent reasons why many of tho leading geographers and geologists be lieve that those various lands—Vic toria, Graham, Wilkes, Adeliu, Olurie, Sabrina and Termination Lands and some others—are merely parts of the outer edge of a large continent. Wild, Murray and others say that we are justified iu concluding that Victoria Land, whose east.coast line was traced by Sir James Ross for inoro than five hundred miles, must extend much far-, ther to the west and south, and that probably on its ice cap will be found the present position of the south mag netic pole. The Unuf-iirorlutod Goat. The relations of tho goat to mankind ure in certain wuys peculiar. The creature has long been subjugated, probably having come into the human family before the dawn of history. It has been almost as widely dissemina ted, among barbarian and civilized peoples alike, rss the sheep. It readily cleaves to the household and exhibits much more intelligence than the other members of our flocks and hcuV I yields good milk, the flesh is edible, though in the old animals not savory, and the hair can be made to vary i 1 a larger measure than any of our ani mals which are shorn. Yet this creature has never obtained the place in relation to man to which it sec un entitled.

Task R3 quiring- But Littlo Work and Patiouoo. Generating a Current with tho All of a l ow Wires nnd a Candle—Directions for Construoting the Klm plo Apparatus. In these days of electrical develop ment nearly every one is interested in experiments, especially those which they can do for themselves, says tho Builder and Woodworker. It is a simpler matter to generate tin electric current than most people think, all electrical machinery having but few parts, but requiring great P no. l. skill and mathematical accuracy in their adjustment. We present in this connection a sim ple method for generating a current bj* means of heat from a candle. Take an equal number of lengths of copper and German silver wire, say six inches long), and twist their ends to gether in tho manner shown in the il lustration, alternating the metals in the arrangement so that they will run first Gorman silver, then copper, then German silver again, and so on. This. accomplished, tlio resulting chain is bent into the shape of a many-pointed FIG. 2. star (as in Fig. 2), and clamped between two flat wooden rings. Two old towel rings filed flat will do. Then fix tho ring's horizontally to a support (Fig. 3). It will bo found when this is done that there arc two free ends of the wire—ono of copper and one of German silver. These arc what are known as tho terminals of the instrument. To these, by means of conducting cords, must be connected a simple galvanometer to show how much current will pass. If now a candle or a gas Jet be placed under the wires, so that the flame can play on tho inner points of tho "star," a current of electricity will be produced strong enough to diflcot tho need lew > f the galvanometer. Simple as this little machlno is, it may bo indefinitely modified, and in now shapes made to do larger and more extended duty. For instance, tho rings may be taken off the support and the inner ends of the "star" bent down at right angles to the outer ends, so as to form a scries of legs, as it wore. Thop, if the affair is stood on top of a hot stove or furintco, the same ofEoct is obtained as with tho candle, only there Is more of it, the degree of effect, in fact, Indng proportional to tho degree of hoat. The phenomena which govern those manifestations seem to be the result of the reversal of the old rule: "Electric ity in its passage always generates heat." Reversing this rule, it is found FIO. 3. that hent, when it crosses the two wires whoso molecules arc in opposite conditions, generates an clcctrio cur rent. It Is necessary to have the wires in the instrument described abovo, twisted tightly at their ends. This is the secret of its perfect working. The dissimilar ity in the two metals used is marked, and following the rule laid down, a current of electricity Is generated as soon as heat is passed across tho junc tions." Thermo-electricity has not t>ocn de veloped as yet sufficiently to render it commercially valuable. There is no tolling, however, how soon it may come to take its place in equal competition with other branches of the science. It has lately been found that zinc-anti mony nnd soft iron form very good op posite s, in plaoo of oopper and German silver, and will, if molded, into conve nient forms nnd placed In position, gen erate quite a current. Ifcw Theory of Auroral lApht. Tho latest theory concerning the cause of the aurora borenlis has boon deduced from a careful analysis of that light thrown through a spectroscope. This unique experiment clearly es tablishes the fact that it is caused by an electrical discharge among the particles of meteoric iron dust con- i tained in tho utmospbero. | What is Castoria is Dr. Samuel Pitcher's prescription for Infants and Children.
