It had never been violated, Ae Mise Conant said, there was "iso nonsense" alaout leer Feting lathes and gentlemen. They dived together like breth- ren. The geutlecnen played sixty -nix and discussed hones, and pugilists and otherwise oe7upied themselves us respect- able young men usually do. They met the ladies reapeetfully, even gallantly, but so far se the tender passiou was enn- eerued they might have beeu wooden mea. I"erhapa that young ladies secretly eeorned the rule, Perhapsif the young men lead tempted them thelia might have been flirtations and consequent heartache and misery. But the temptations were lacking, there had been no violation of 'the rale ani no insurrections in Miss 'Conant's little realm. Until Marcella. same, A1iss Cenant was doubttui of Marcella at the first moment, and the landlady looked from the unquestionable reference to the questionable young; woman with great hesitation. "The girl is too pretty," said hiss Co - leant, speaking to herself, of course. "She has no business to be so pretty, though, at' course, bile can't help it. I'll admit that she seems modest and quite ladYiike, Bur she is pretty, and my young veutle- nen are mere human beings. I should hate to demoralize them." Marcella was all unconscious of the white haired landlady's thought and nev- er dreamed how near Miss Conant came �o saying there wasn't a. spare room in the house. The girl stood there, looking so inno- cent and childlike, and so altogether un - .conscious of her bewitching beauty, that Miss Conant's doubts vanished. "There can't be any harm in that child, and she certainly needs a borne. I'll take her. Bless her pretty heart]" So Miss Conant thought, and so it was decided. Unwise 141iss Conant) What have you done? I)o you really think you can with safety bring this bright and seductive creature into your household? Your young men may be like wooden men and utterly gree from nonsense. Yet they have eyes in their heads, and at one time they had hearts in their bosoms. Unwise Miss `O.,onant! So whispered discretion, but the land- lady refused to listen, Perhaps it was ' fate. Within a day Miss Conant observed ,subtle signs of demoralization. Mr. Craig, who for years had regularly bolted his food with great haste, now ate daintily and lingered at the table. Alt Smith wore his best suit to the office. The card game ',11 neglected, and the gentlemen gathered in the parlor. Will Caruthers talked softly and entertainingly to 'Miss .Jones, thoxgh he watched Marcella out .of the corner of his eye and blushed when she looked his way. Yes; Will blushed. It was a remarkable thing. Miss Jones glared at Marcella, and Miss Beaver called Mr. Smith's attention to the fact that the new girl painted her .face. Mr. Smith pretended to believe it. The next day Marcella had three bou- •quets, and though she hid them in her ",room the las ,lady was not blind. The deve.upments of a month filled Miss Conant with dismay. She felt it Baer duty to speak to Miss Jones. "I am really quite surprised at you," acid the landlady. "Why, if it were not so impossible and absurd I should say that you and Will almost seem devoted to each other." "I am trying to save him from that doll, that—creature,"• said Miss Jones. "MarceIla?" asked the astonished land- lady. "Yes; Marcella. !ler conduct is per- , lectly shameful. Haven't you seen how 'boldly she angles for him?" Miss Conant had not seen it. In fact, she thought Marcella seemed rather shy. But perhaps Miss Jones was right. Un- •doubtedly something was wrong, and as .everythinghad been right before Mar- -cella came perhaps Miss Jones was justi- fied in holding her responsible. At all events, Miss Conant decided to speak to Marcella. It must be known that Will was the star boarder. He had a good business and a ,bright future, and Miss Conant was not going to have his head filled with 'nonsense." The landlady was a diplomat:' She called Marcella to her room and placed her arm gently about the girl's waist, "How old are you, my ,dear?" asked Miss Conant. "Nineteen," said Marcella: "You are young and you are very prat - ay, P mychild. You'must {'gy,be careful. I do notn understand." rc said Martell a. a. "1 am going to speak to you se a soothe er might speak, my dear. I do not ac- cuse you, mind. But I must warn you. Flirtations are neither wise nor proper," Marcella looked at the landlady in won- der, "tills is not a summer hotel," coutiu- ued Aiiss Conant. "Neither is it a young ladies' seminary, It is a respectable boarding house, and the requirements of peace and propriet,l have rendered this rule imperative—no, flirtations," "What unusual and outrageous thing have I done that you should say this to ine?" she demanded. "I will not be treat- ed so. `,Tell me what you mean.'" "Your innocence is very creditable, my child," said Miss Conant, "but you must have seen that Mr. Smith is absurdly at- tentive to you." I have not encouraged him." And Marcella a was ".S..nd that Mr, Craig makes a perfect spectacle of bimself." "I cannot kelp it," mid Marcella, .be seemed indifferent, "And Will Caruthers? Is it not true, my child, that"— "No, no, no," cried Marcella, blushing like a rose, "Air. Caruthers scarcely speaks to me. He seems de -de -voted to Miss J -Jones," "I bad noticed that," said Miss Conant, forgetting her diplomaey. "I had observ- ed bseryed it, But Miss Jones says that yon" -- "Oh, indeed," said Mareella with fine scorn. "I would thank Miss Jones to keep her lover and not mention any name. The idea"_" • "I diad not mean to offend you, child," said Miss Conant, wringing her hands in distress, '"1 ane really quite puzzled. Ev- erything has always beeu quite proper in my house. .But sou ethip„ is wrong, and 1 don't know what to do," "I am very sorry," said Marcella cold- ly, "but I assure you 1 have nothing to do with it, 1 promise you not to break your ancient and respectable rules. 1 shall not dirt with Mr, Craig nor Mr, Smith, and Miss Janes need not be afraid I will try to Capture her lover," And Marcella escaped to her room, there to weep in bitterness and despair, while Miss Conant was wore dismayed than ever, For a time after this things seemed to mend, and Miss Conant ventured to con- gratulate herself, Will seemed to avoid Miss Jones, and she never saw hint speak to Marcella. But -all the oldfamiliar relations were broken up. Messrs, Smith and Qraig greeted each other with, wonderful polite - nese in the house, but did not speak when they !net on the street. Marcella was certainly circumspect. She regarded all the gentlemen with a coldness that was almost contempt. She kept mostly in her more and was not af- feeted by Miss Jones' icy glare and ig- nored Miss Beaver's persistent effusive- ness. Will wandered about the house in si- lent and moody eoutemplation. He might have beeu grieving on account of his sep- aration from Miss Jones, but he strange- ly refused to "make up" with her again. That astute young woman ignored him. at last and turned her sweetest smiles on Mr. Craig. Strange to say, he respond- ed. Sone old instinct seemed to revive in the bosons of that gentleman, and he suddenly discovered that ladies were made for love. And Miss Jones, being the lady most available, found herself beloved. "A little leaven Ieaveneth the whole Iump. " Mr. Smith also yielded to the dominant force. He saw Marcella's persistent coldness and fluttered to Miss Beaver for sympathy, and, after a decent amount of hesitation, she gave it. The landlady was indignant but help- less. Her house was falling about her ears. Her children indulged in the most open and awful spooning right under her eyes. She was forced to spend her evenings in the kitchen to keep from in- terrupting some tender tete-a-tete. She had never seen so much astonishing "non- sense" in her fife. Only Will and Marcella seemed to es- cape the general contagion. am glad you haven't gone crazy," said Miss Conant. "You are the youn- gest and far the loveliest one of the lot, and I'm glad you are not an idiot." Marcella smiled, but did not seem to be particularly elated. "I declare," said Miss Conant, continu- ing. "that it is all the most unheard of and unbelievable thing that ever happen- ed. Just think! I have kept boarders for 20 years and never had a love affair in the house before. Now there seems to be nothing else. As if the dreadful conduct of the boarders wasn't enough, the cook has fallen in love with the milk- man, and I saw the grocer's boy kiss the dining room girl in the hail yesterday. Why, my house has become a regular matrimonial bureau." "It is too bad," said MarceIIa wearily. "But you, Marcella, you promised me not to flirt, and you haven't. I thank you for it." And Miss Conant, to show her grati- tude, attempted to imprint a kiss on the young lady's peachlike cheek, but Mar- cella burst into tears and ran away. Strangely enough, she ran plump into the arms of Will Caruthers. He had been waiting there in the hall for Marcella to come out. Miss Conant has given notice to her laudtord. After the magnificent triple wedding occurs she will keep boarders no longer --Chicago News. A New Method For Driving Piles. A new and expeditious method for driving piles is described in the•instruc- tions as to technical works for the Rus- sian engineer • corps. On two sides of the pile to be driven are made longitudinal grooves of sufficient width and depth to receive ordinary iron gas pipes of one or one and a half inches diameter, termi- nating in nozzles like those of hose pipes and turned toward the point of the pile, being fixed to it by light staples, while the upper ends are connected by gutta percha pipes, with a force pump capable of ejecting water under a pressure of five atmospheres -71 pounds per square inch. It is said that the outflow of this water at the point of the pile causes the latter to sink three or four times more quickly than it would under the action of a pile driver. A few blows are, however, giv- en by the monkey when the pile has at- tained the desired depth in order to se- cure the necessary consolidation, and the gas pipes are then drawn out in order to serve for driving another pile. -English Mechanic.

She was designed to carry 120 guns that would at that time have been con. sldered extremely heavy ones. She was launched on the eve of the Crimean war, and during it served as the flagship of Sir Charles Napier, oommander of the Baltic fleet, but was never aotually in action, so bow the monster would have behaved remains a platter of doubt, The Foudroyant is the sole naval relic, save 11.11 S.

In a carefully locked yard is a pile of weather-beaten, strangely -shaped pieces of wood. When the tide runs low there shows above the sand, near tno Blackpool pier the dark and ragged line of a wreck. At the Birmingham Mint can be seen 40 tons of resplendent copper, a oopper in which there is such a goodly portion of silver that the mint would bo glad to pay £112 a ton for it, though the market price of copper is £80. These pieces of wood and tons of Dopper and the dark lino of wreak by the Black- pool pier are all that ieillatns of the famous old SO -gun ship H.M.S. Foudroy- ant—a ship that for nearly 100 yearn formed part of "the wooden walls" of England. Hers has been a strange, eventful his- tory. Her keel, the part now embedded In the sand of Blackpool pier; was laid down at Plymouth in 1789, She was launched there in 1798 and wrecked at Blackpool in 1897. The Foudroyant had many celebrated captains to command her, including Sir Thomas Bayard and Thomas Masterman Hardy. The gallant Sir Ralph Aber- oromby died on the, Foudroyant's deck; Prince Francois Caraooioli—an old man over 70—stood upon it to face the court- martial that sent him to the yard -arm of the La Minerva. And on this samo deck Nelson and Sir William and Lady Ham- ilton discussed with Cardinal Buffo Caraccioll's fate, the beautiful Lady Hamilton oleadmg for that mercy which Nelson denied. At this stormy time (1799) the Foud- royant was considered a9 the seat of gov- ernment of the King of Naples, although the King was then at Palermo; and for several weeks King Ferdinand IV. held his Court on the Foudroyant, dining daily with his queen on her quarterdeck. In view of the naval demonstrations near Lough Swilly, on whose waters the Foudroyant had her baptism of fire, it is Interesting to recall something about one .of the fights she engaged. in. During the blockade of Malta (1800) the Foudroyant, under command of Cap- tain Sir. Edward Barry, on March 31, ought an engagement with the French 80 -gun ship, Guillaume Tell, oarrying the Sag of Rear -Admiral Denis Decres. At the • end of two hours and twenty minutes the Guillaume Tell struck her colors. The Foudroyant, however, was in too crippled a conaition to take posses- sion of her prize, which duty devolved on the Penelope, that vessel with the Lion having taken part in the engage- ment. Some idea of how lively a naval engage- ment was in those days may be gathered from the following record of powder and shot which the Foudroyant expended on the Guillaume Tell: Powder in barrels Shot, 32 pounders. Shot, 24 pounders Shot, 18 pounders Shot, 12 pounders 162 1,200 1,240 100 200 She well deserved her name—Foudroy- ant—"thunder-striking. " Under the command of Commodore Sir John•Borlase Warrent, she was one of the ships that took part in tho capture of the Hoche and her consorts in August of 1798 in the Bay of Donegal, when the French were trying to land troops to help the Irish rebels. Afterwards in the Mediterranean and elsewhere she was a flagship of Nelson, Lord Keith and other famous "seadogs." In 1892 the Admiralty decided to gets rid of the relic, and she was sold to a German firm of ship -breakers. An outory was raised at her fate, and she was re- purchased by Mr. Cobb, In 1896 she was ready for sea and was visited by Her Majesty. On .Tune 16, 1897, during a hurricane at Dlackn000l she broke from her moorings, arid, driv- ing shoreward,' became a total wreck. As a wreck she was sold, so repo rt says, fel £2t0 Her purchaser began the work of blowing her up. and almost the first blast landed a fragment of half a ton, en thehead of "`a- woman who un- fortunately waa passing by on the beach.

One of the quaintest old inns in the south of England is the Running Horse Inn at Leatherhead, in Surrey. It dates bank to 1500, and it is on record that Queen Elisabeth slept here for a night on her way to visit Sir John More, ab Loseby Hall. The inn stands at the bottom of the hill adjoining the bridge over the Mole (so -palled because at one point it burrows underground,) and in the old days it served as a shelter for travellers who were unable to cross the ford owing te floods, Somewhere about the year 1520 the inn was owned by one Mistress Elynor Run- ning or Rummyng, and the name of the house is probably a play upon her name. The poet laureate to Henry VII. eele- brated the good dame in verse, whiali he entitled "The 'running of Elynor Run ning." It is related of her that she was in the habit of giving short measure of beer, and in consequence was rolled down the Leatherhead Hill in a barrel. There is a painting of this dame on the inn wall. It is very indistinct, but ap- pears to represent an elderly woman wearing what t was known as an " again - tisher hat,. the picture is dated li2�, end bears this legencl "When Skelton wore the laurel aroma, Mg ale put all, the ala'wives dowo."

Perbaps the beet known of these ?Houses was that occupied by D. John sou, and in which be wrote his tamales poem on the ""VanBohes"" iu imitation of thity ofe Tenthman SatireWisof Juvenal. This bowie is about, to be destroyed.. As has been the case witk so nanny land- marks, it must be pulled down to malre way for more modern structures.

Johnson wrote bis famous poem, and it has been said that the days spent in that house must have been the happiest of hie pone too happy life. Readers of the grim philosopher's works will find it bard to separate this man from hie well known haunts in Fleet street. 'Itis whole life seems so pervaded with the atines- pbere of his favorite coffee house that it requires a severe atretcli of the imagina- tion to picture hint enjoying himself Among the trees and flowers of the coun- try and it is doubtful if nature did give hlix, neeeh enjoyment.

Whoa his poem, "The Vanity of Hu- man. Wishes," appeared in 1749, his name, according to one of kis bit/greed:- ars, "broke out upon mankind with a de; res of luster which premised e. ti%- umph ever all his diedou1ties," The reading public bed bees familiar for tea years with his "Lemieu" and other Imi- tations et Juvenal, suggested by the Third. Satire. These two poems were thought to rival the work of Pops hlm- aelf, and the fame of the doctor spread far and wide. Bs seized the moment for the production of his tragedy of "'Irene," find it was brought out at Drury Leal an the 8th of February, 1749, It ran for 18 nights and has never been seen on the stage since, The doctor attended the theatre every night behind the scenes, Wearing for the occasion a handsome waistcoat and a gold laced hat. "But," said be afterward, with great gravity, "I soon laid aside my gold laced Hat, lest it should make me proud," and he further observed that "when in that dress he couldnot treat people with the same ease ail when in his usual plain olothee." But the doctor's vanity must hare sole ered severely, for the tragedy was uninter. easing and the public would not attend. "Irene" was relegated to the sbelf for home reading, and as one of the com- mentators of the day said, "La the closet the propriety of its sentiments, the rioh- noss of the language and the general harmony of the whole composition were universally admired." "When Johnson writes tragedy," said Garrick, "declamation roars and passion sleeps; when Shakepeare wrote he dipped his pen in bis own beast." But the failure of his play did not appear to disconcert the philosophic doe ter. He xscelvod about $1,500 for his rights, while It was acted, and he was well assured of the popularity of the poem which was the precursor of the play, and the summer during which he wrote it in the house at Hampstead was memorable to him in later years as one of the last of the peaceful periods of his life, wbioh he enjoyed in the company of his wife. The leuse in which he wrote the "Vanity of Human Wishes" Is close to the entrance to the Priory, and Boswell tells us that the "Town" as wellas that poem was written there. Thornburg re- marks that neither of those works bears much trace of the inspiration of the Hampstead muses, "for the fact that the burly dootor preferred society to;scenery, and with the winter returned. to Fleet street and presented himself onoa more among his friends, in whose company he felt more at home than amid the breezes of Hampstead. and whose conversations gave him more gratiiioation than the songs of nightingales." It was not long after his residence in this house that Dr. Johnson lost his wife. Many years later when one of his friends asked him if he had ever known what it was to have a wife the doctor re- plied with a faltering voice, "Sir, I have known what it was to have a wife and have known what it was to lose a wife. It had almost broke my heart" EASTERN WASHERWOMEN. Rivers and Creeks. Paddles and Stoues Their Implements. The hardest worked washerwomen in the world are the Coreans. They have to wash about a dozen dresses for their husbands, and inasmuch as every man wears pantaloons or drawers so baggy that they come up to his neck like those of a clown, they have plenty to do. The washing is usually done in cold water, and often in running streams. The clothes are pounded with paddles until they shine like a shirt front fresh from a Chinese laundry. The Japanese rip their garments apart for every washing, and they iron their clothes by spreading them on a float board and leaning this up against the house to dry. The sun takes the wrinkles out of the clothes, and some of them have quite a luster. The Japanese woman does her washing out of doors. Her wash- tub is not more than sir inches high and is about as big around as the average dishpan, She sometimes uses Japanese soap, which is full of grease, and works away with her bare feet, The Chinese girls do their washing is much the same way. The washing in Egypt is usually done by the_men. The Egyptian washerman stands on the banes of the Nile and slaps the wet clothes, With a noise like the shot of a pistol, on the smooth stones at the edge of the running water, and smolt follah Women as wash pound the dirt out of their clothes in the same way. French women pound the dirt with paddles, often slamming the clothes upon stones, as the Egpytians do.—Washington Star. Telephone for the Deaf.
