Whole the cities are not increasing

Commissioner General Peck's report
to the authorities at Washington tells
a brief but flattering story of the suc
cess of American exhibitors at the
Paris exposition. He announces that
the "United States received 2475
awards, as against 1823 to Germany,
1727 to Great Britain and 1493 to Rus
sia, and that we lead not only in the
grand total, but also in all grades of
awards from highest to lowest. This
showing is even more creditable than
had been hoped for, and it constitutes
a magnificent tribute to American ge
nius and enterprise.
A careful survey by experts from the
Department of Agriculture of the hur
ricane-swept section of Eastern Texas
Shows that the farmers lost 1,000,009
bushels of corn, 300,000 bushels of rice,
08,000 bales of cotton, 2,500,000 pounds
of pecans, 3000 trees, and farm animals
worth s4so,ooo—in all an irreparable
property loss representing a value of
$3,400,000. The damage thus sustained
will be lightened by no percentage of
Insurance and no dole of charity. In
Texas, as elsewhere, the tiller of the
soil takes the buffets or favors of for
tune as they come, and trusts to benig
nant nature for future redress aud
compensation.
A correspondent of the London
Times—ll. Seymour Trower, writing
by order of the Executive Committee
of the Navy League—declares that this
is a critical moment in the history of
Great Britain, because for the time
being she has lost command of the sea.
For the first time since 1814, he says, a
coalition of foreign powers could dis
pute with England the control of the
ocean highways, and do it with a
cEance of success. The British Ad
miralty, he declares, has uot ordered
the building of enough ships, and it
has dangerously delayed the comple
tion and equipment of those laid down,
while other nations have been actively
carrying on the work of naval con
struction and a new and resolute
claimant for sea power—Germany
has arisen.
Effect of Rain on People.
Have you ever noticed the effect of
rain upon people in our busy streets?
The slightest drizzle seems to addle
their brains. In clear weather they
manage to keep to the right, passing
without discomfort and dodging; but
as soon as the water begins to fall
they lose tho sense of direction, and
you will find them swerving all over
the sidewalks as a tired horse swerves
in the homestretch. They will bump
into you in spite of all you can do.
Truck drivers go mad in a slight
downpour, and even the horses are af
fected. Gripmen and motormen be
come fit candidates for insane asy
lums. The streets become congested
for no apparent reason. In crossing
them men and women rush, dodge,
spring this way and that, stoop, back
and fill until confusion is worse than
confounded.—Victor Smith, in New
York Press.

r MR. DODSON S HAND-MIRROR. 1
BY EMnA a. upper. I
Slade & Go's immense dry-goods
store was crowded.
Charmingly-attired Indies swarmed
about the counters; harassed sales
women pulled down innumerable
boxes and answered unlimited ques
tions; and the little baskets chased
one another along the wires to the
cashier's desk.
At a further counter, where pretty
toilet articles held sway, Annie Rogers
stood gazing at her own fair image
in a plate-glass hand-mirror with Rus
sia-leather back.
"He'll be sure to like it," she said,
looking up at the young man who
stood waiting at her side. "I'll take
it," she addfd. turning to tlfi girl be
hind the counter and producing her
purse. "It's his birthday, you know,"
she went on, as the hand-glass went
flying down a wire. "We always
make birthday presents to each other.
Dear old tJnole Hudson!"
"Uncle Dodson" he has always been
to her, though she was only an or
phaned relative of his dead wife,
adopted in her infancy.
"He's a lucky person, with you to
care for him," said Howard Canby,
taking charge of the hand-mirror as
It reappeared in its neat wrappings.
"You'll let me walk home with you?"
he went on, as they stepped out into
the crowded street.
More than one hurrying shopper
noted them admiringly as they walked
slowly down tlie avenue together—the
graceful girl, in her soft, light dress,
her cheeks grown pink and her eyes
bright in the fresh air, and the tall
young man, not far behind her in per
sonal advantages, bending to talk to
her.
But they were not aware of these
approving glances; they were not con
scious of anything beyond their own
absorbing conversation, a hint of
which may be gathered from their
parting words. For, as they mounted
the broad steps of the big Dodson
house, Annie was murmuring:
"What will Uncle Dodson say?"
"He'll give us his consent and bless
ing, of course, my dear girl," said
Howard, cheerfully.
And he gave Mr. Dodson's birthday
present into her possession, pressed
her hand with a whispered word, and
went down the steps reluctantly.
A largo valise stood in the hall, and
an unfamiliar hat hung on the rack.
Annie looked at them sharply. Prob
ably it was some friend of Uncle Dod
son come to see liim—he was some
thing of an invalid.
But the hat—a smart, speckled
straw, with a blue hand—had an un
mistakably youthful air. She ran up
the stairs wonderingly.
Mr. Dodson was sitting in a large
arm-clinir before the window, where
most of his time was spent. A young
man of two and twenty, or thereabouts,
noticeable for nothing unless for the
cheerfulness of his rather boyish face,
sat near him.
Mr. Dodson looked up with a wel
coming smile, as Annie entered.
"My nephew, Dudley Howard, ray
dear," he said.
The young man rose and bowed—
rather constrainedly. Annie thought.
Mr. Dodson regarded her anxiously.
"Sit down," he said.
Annie sat down at his side, feeling
that something unpleasant was com
ing; and the young man quietly with
drew.
"He is my nephew—my only rela
tive," Mr. Dodson began. "lie will
inherit my property, my dear."
"Well?" said Annie, cheerfully.
"Well," Mr. Dodson repeated, strok
ing her hand, "he will inherit my
property, but you must be provided
for, too. There seems to me but one
way. I have thought of it much; but
the best way seems to me—that you
should marry. So I have sent for
him." said Mr. Dodson, going on hur
riedly. "And—we have been talking
of it, my dear."
Poor Annie had listened silently.
Was this kind-hearted Uncle Dodson
who was saying these dreadful
things?
"A little too business-like to suit you,
eli?" said Mr. Dodson, noting her dis
tressed face. "Yes, of course. I ex
pected tlu\t. Young folks nowadays
have an idea that their elders shouldn't
have a word to say about these
things—not a word! But don't you
see, my dear," he went on, kindly,
"that it's all the same thing? Suppose
I had got Dudley here without men
tioning my little plan? Well, you'd
have been pretty sure to fall in love
with each other. He's as nice a fel
low as you'll find, Annie, and ho knows
a pretty girl when he sees one, I
imagine. Well, then, why should you
hold back, either of you, merely be
cause I give a little push to a sure
enough affair?"
The girl at Ids side turned her
troubled face away hastily.
It was a very simple thing, surely,
to put an end to all this. The mere
mention of Howard Canby would do
it, she was sure, for Uncle Dodson
was not an ogre.
And yet, how could she meet his
possible displeasure and his certain
disappointment?
The words died away on her lips.
"A bashful pair of youngsters you
are, I vow!" said Mr. Dodson, with a
laugh. "J # f Dudley didn't behave the
same way! Oh, well, you'll get over
it!"
Annie opened her lips, hesitated,
closed them again, with a weakness
and cowardice of which she was
painfully conscious, and rose, with
helpless tears dropping.
Her recent purchase was still in her
hands.
"I have brought a little present for
your birthday, Uncle Dodson," she
said, chokingly, and she laid it on his
knees.
It was not until a rather late hour
that afternoon that Annie found cour
age to visit Mr. Dodson's room again.
She had carefully avoided Mr. Ho
hurt.
Hobart! It was certainly the ugli
est name she had ever heard.
She had taken lunch In her room,
and she had not been out of it since.
At 4 o'clock a messenger-boy had
brought a very small parcel, ad
dressed to herself in Hobart's well
known writing, which, when she had
opened it eagerly, had found to con
tain a little band of gold, set with a
glittering stone.
It is a most unnatural proceeding
for a young lady to burst into tears
at the first sight of her engagement
ring; but that is what Annie did.
For the pretty, shining thing seemed
only the symbol of her trouble and
perplexity.
She knew perfectly that her right
course was to put the ring on the
proper finger, go boldly to M;. Dod
son and explain its position there.
She did, indeed, get as fur as put
ting it on, and gazing at it fondly and
admiringly, and tearfully, from every
conceivable point of view; but there
her courage failed her.
Dear old Uncle Dodson! how could
she dash his well-meaning hopes to
the ground with a cruel word or two?
He was so far from strong, besides.
Sudden disappointments always did
him harm.
She dried her eyes, as these de
spairing thoughts came over her, and
started for Mr. Dodson's room.
Mr. Dodson sat facing the window,
as usual. His head was thrown back
and his eyes were closed.
Annie drew a sigh of relief; he was
asleep.
Dudley Hobart was sitting in a back
/corner of the room, with a news
paper in his hand, and his feet dis
posed comfortably, if not. gracefully,
on a second chair. He rose hastily as
Annie entered.
"He is asleep," he remarked, after
a timid pause.
"I had observed it," said Annie,
shoytly, not deigning to look at the
speaker.
The young man looked confused. lie
laid down his newspaper, and passed
his hand over his closely-cropped
head in a troubled way, and finally
offered her a chair.
There seemed to be nothing else to
do, and Annie sat down stiffly.
Mr. Hobart took the other chair,
if Annie had glanced at him, she
might have seen that a pleading look
filled his boyish face; but she looked
coldly over his head at the wall-paper.
There was silence for several mo
ments.
Then the young man, with a nervous
clutch of his chair-back, and with a
visible effort, began desperately:
"He said he had told you this—his
plan."
Annie was cruelly unresponsive,
"May I inquire what you think of
it?" said Mr. Hobart, with a face
■ grown pale with agonized embarrass-
I merit.
Annie rose sharply.
; "Words would not express what I
j flunk of it!" she said, flashing an in
dignant glance toward the young man.
"It can't possibly be!"
The occupant of the arm-chair moved
restlessly; he was waking up.
Annie lowered her voice as she we.it
oil, severely:
"1 am already engaged. I—"
She paused in bewilderment. The
face of her listener had l> on suddenly
transformed with unmistakable rel'ef
and joy. He seized her hands warm
ly
"Engaged? Well, if we aren't in the
same boat! So am I!"
i Annie's severity vanished. Her cold
I gaze gave way to a quick smile or
I sympathy.
I "Are you, Mr. Hobart?" she cried.
"1 m so glad!"
| Don't rail me Mr. ITobart, said the
i young man, impetuously. "Call me
Dud. Everybody calls me Dud."
! Annie laughed: and they sat down
| again, In a friendly way.
| * 1 have only been engaged since this
iiii.imug." said Annie, confidentially
j ' 'See? ae .list sent the ring around.
! He's the nicest fellow in the world!
lou'll think so when you see him."
They had lowered their voices care
fully , further than that Mr. Dodson*4
,n si nee was ignored.
•The ling I gave Genevieve was
; something like it." Dud continued,
I briskly. "Pretty name—Genevieve—
| isn't it?"
j "Very pretty!" said Annie.
' 'TI e's a pretty girl, too!" said Did,
warmly. "I just wish you could know
her. She's only IT; but you wouldn't
think it. Here, I'll show you her pic
; t ure."
j Me took It out carefully from an in
| ner pocket, and held it out triumphant
j ly.
"She is pretty," said Annie, looking
down approvingly at the fair young
: face in the picture,
j "I knew you'd think so," said Dud.
| looking gratified.
"I have Howard's picture In the al
bum down stairs," said Aanie. "I ll
run down and get it."
Sv. u tripped away softly, and came
hurrying Lack breathless, with the
plush covered book in her hand.
"He looks as though he had some
get-up to him," was Dud's masculine
comment.
"Well, he has," said Annie with a
proud smile. "Of course," she went
on, hesitatingly, "we must tell Uncle
Dodson?"
"Of course!" said Dud, rather faint
ly.
Their eyes met; they smiled guiltily.
"To tell the truth,' said the young
man, candidly, "I'd rather be shot!"
"My case exactly," Annie responded.
"You see," said Dud, looking anx- !
ious, "he means it all as a favor, a
benefit to us: and to go and knock nil
his plans endways in that style—l'd
just as lief be let out of it for my
part!"
"Precisely as I feel,' murmured
Annie. "What shall we do?"
"Don't ask me," said Dud, entreat
ingly.
An uneasy pause ensued, filled by
a helpless contemplation of each other
with wrinkled brows.
"Of course we must tell him," Annie
repeated, irresolutely.
"Of course," said Dud again.
But that was as far as he went.
A rustling sound from Mr. Dodson's
arm-chair roused them to a sudden
sense of his presence.
"Are you awake, Uncle Dodson?"
said Annie, getting up slowly to go to
him. Dud following.
"Wide awake, ray dear," said Mr.
Dodson, promptly.
"Does your head ache?" said Annie,
bending over his chair and feeling
deeply hypocritical.
Mr. Dodson's reply was a strange
one. It was a short, rather sarcastic,
laugh.
Annie and Dud exchanged startled
glances. Could he have overheard
them? No; it was Impossible.
But he turned upon them abruptly.
"So you've gone and encouraged
that good-for-notliing young Gail by,
have you, miss?" he began, fixing
Annie with humorously-stern gaze—
"thrown yourself away on that young
upstart, eh?"
Poor Annie could only stare, be
wildered.
"And you, sir," Mr. Dodson went
on, turning to his nephew—"you've
tied yourself to some little chit of a
school-girl not out of bibs yet, 1 sup
pose? A nice pair you are!"
Ilis listeners stood speechless.
"Did you—overhear us?" murmured
Dud, at last finding his voice with an
effort.
"Not a word, sir—not a word!" said
Mr. Dodson, coolly.
"You're a clairvoyant, then!" eja
culated the young man, half believ
ing it.
Mr. Dodson laughed again, in evi
dent enjoyment of their confusion.
"And you were afraid to tell me.
eh?" said he. "You were going to
deceive a poor, helpless, old man?"
"No, no!" said Dud, in weak pro
testation.
But Annie's face expressed only a
growing wonder.
"llow did you know. Uncle Dod
son?" she said, beseechingly.
For answer, Mr. Dodson took up the
hand-mirror—Annie's birthday pres
ent—from Its satinlined case, held it
before his eyes, and motioned the two
to look into it.
It reflected, with wonderful dis
tinctness, the entire rear of the room,
including the chairs in which they
had sat.
"When I saw you. my dear," said Mr.
Dodson, looking up with twinkling
eyes into Annie's astonished face—
"when I saw you exhibiting a dia
mond ring which appeared to be a re
cent acquisition, and bringing up the
album to show—well, let us say old
Mrs. Presley's picture—and when I
saw you, sir, whipping out an ab
surd little tin-type and actually talk
ing about it as though it were some
thing worth looking at—l drew my own
conclusion."
"You aren't angry, dear Uncle Dod
son?" said Annie, timidly, a queer mix
ture of relief and apprehension in her
face.
"But I am," said Mr. Dodson, with
a smile which refuted his words, "and
I think I shall leave my money to—
well, say to a Home for Destitute
Dogs. Neither of you deserves it!"
' "But neither of lis want it," said
Annie, tenderly. "You'll enjoy it your
self for a long time yet."
Dud echoed her words.
"I suppose I shall divide it equally
b'tween you," said Mr. Dodson, mus
ingly, "but you don't deserve it!"
Mr. Dodson was among the liveliest
of the gay gathering at Annie's wed
ding, a few months later.
He gave away the bride; he made a
stirring speech, and he led a quadrille.
But his word of congratulation to
young Mrs. Canby was a puzzle to the
bystanders:
"Y on owe it all to the liand-mirror,
my dear!"— Saturday Night

It Is a much-mooted question among
entomogolists whether or not mosqui
toes can breed in mud. Dr. Howard's
experiments and investigations tend
to show that the larvae will live in

that they will even transform after
water has been added. In no ease
were larvae revived after the water
had been drawn off for more than 48
hours.

As is well known, some metals are
unsuitable for casting, while others,
i like iron, can readily be cast in any
desired shape. The property of cast
ing well is said to depend upon wheth
er the metal contracts or expands on
• solidifying from the liquid form. Iron,
like water, expands in solidifying, and
hence the solid metal may be seen
floating in the liquid iron about it.
, The expansion causes it to till-the die
; into which it is poured, and so it can
jbe east easily. Gold and silver eon
j tract in cooling, and therefore are not
; suitable for casting.

The large amount of heat generated

from an oxide has attracted attention
to the fact that this property might

"It may seem strange enough," said
■ a doctor the other day, "but really
over DO per cent, of the population do
not know bow to breathe. Nature
. kindly enough adapts herself to lm
' perfect methods or respiration, as she
adapts herself to the unnatural quali
ties of tea, coffee or alcohol a man
, floods his system with during his life
time, but all the same she does not
approve. Why, one of the first tilings
all actor or a singer lias to do Is to
begin to learn to breathe before they
can learn how to produce the voice
properly. The tirst point is to till the
lungs. Very few people take the
trouble to do that. As a rule
they distend them until the lungs are
. about three-quarters full and then
they stop, leaving the base of the

I tlon would no longer be heard of.
Why is exercise so beneficial? Simply
because in running, rowing or cycling
people are obliged to fill their lungs
, to their utmost capacity to breathe—
in short, as nature meant them to
breathe. I have frequently recom
mended those whose business will not
\ permit of any outdoor exercise to prac
tice breathing for 1111 hour in the morn
( ing and.at night; exercise Is not a
necessity—breathing properly is. How
J to go about it: Watch an infant lying
on Its back if you want to see breath
ing done as it ought to he; or If you
have got out of the linhit of proper
respiration, one of the first points to
remember in learning to breathe is to
keep your shoulders down; they are
inclined to go up before the lungs are
filled. Another part is to get control
over your lungs; fill them slowly, lying
011 your buck of possible and feeling
tlieni till; then empty them at will
sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.
Unless the mind has control of the
muscles which distend and empty the
lungs, then it Is no use trying to
breathe. An hour's practice daily will
do you more good than all the'gym
nasiums in the world. Yes, breathing
1 is undoubtedly a lost art. If we are te

INSECTS ARE USED,
Lao Industry In Assam ts a Curious
Business.
A report ot the assistant director ot
agriculture in Assam deals in detail
with the lac industry there. Lac oc
curs in its natural state in the'various
parts of the forests of Assam, a3 woll
as of Burma, but chiefly in parts ot
the Khasi and Garo hills, and the ex
port in recent years has averaged 16,-
000 maunds, or something over 500'
tons, but in some of the forests, ow
ing to the ravages of the Kolaazar
epidemic and depopulation, the pro
duction 13 declining. The production
in Manlpur is not sufficient for the
local needs, and quantities of the lac
are sent there from the Kubo valley
of Assam. The lac is ail sent away
from Assam in the crude form, or
stick lac; shell and button lac are
made, to some extent, but lac dye ia
not now prepared anywehere in As
sam, and lacquer wares are only pro
duced in two places, so that tuis once
considerable industry would seem to
be dying out. The black laquer of
Manipur is really not a lac prepara
tion at all, but only the juice of a
tree sent from the Kubo valley. In
Assam the lac is usually collected
twice a year, first in May and June,
and then in October and November.
The first is mainly used for seed pur
poses, while the second forms the ex
port. A few days after the col!ec..on
pieces of stick lac containing live in
sects are tied on to the branches of
the trees on which the next crop is
to be grown. The usual plan is to
place the lac in small bamboo baskets
and tie these on the twigs of the
trees. The insects soon crawl out, and
spread over the young branches, on
which they promptly begin to feed,
and seereto the resin. This is allowed
to go on for about six months, when
the lac is collected; but if the secre
tion has been defective or insufficient
the insects remain undisturbed for an
other six months.—London Times.
