A STRONG WOMAN'S FEATS
rt seems almost incredible that there
is a woman. living who possesses the
stren.gth of taro 1,000 pounds of truck
horses in ,her arras. Yet such is the
fad. She is Mrs. Charles Blatt, of
Jersey City, who is better known as
"Minerva." She is undoubtedly the
strongest woman in the world. She
boasts of bein.er the strongest, and
stands ready to make good her asser-
tion at any time.
Wishing to test the bold challenger's
strength a series of feats were ar-
ranged for her to perform. She was
willing to try anything, that any strong
man, riot barring Sandow, has ever
done, and much more. She stated that
she believed herself a,ble to counteract
the strength of two heavy horses.
She was taken at her word, and euch
a feat was iramediately arranged. for.

provided with rings at eath end, one to
attach the strap to a swingle-tree and

Shouldn't like to see eremation come
into faehion, by the bye. It would spoil
the coffin trade and -depreciate the
value of my elms and oaks."
As they approached Marchbrook Mr.
Wyatt began to talk about the Bene-
dictines and their vanished monastery.
He had found out all about it he the
county history—its founder, the ex-
tent of its lands, the character of its
atchitecture.
That avenue must be six hundred
years old," he saad, as they came in
sight of the tail elms.
"By Jove 1 that's queer," cried Sir
Thomas., out his rate glass. "A
fellow jumped out of that balcony, like
Romeo in the play."
"Except that Romeo never scaled the
balcony," said Mr. Wyatt.
"That summer -house belongs to Dave-
nant, doesn't it, Gilbert? Oux friend's,
mode or exit suggests a flirtation be-
tween one of your guests and somebody
at lYlarchbroak."
"There's nobody at Marehbrook but
old Clanyarde and Sir Cyprian Dave-
nant," said Sir Thomas, "and I'll lay
any odds you. like it wasn't Lord Clan-
yarie jumped off that balcony."
Glibert took the glass from his
friend's hand without a word. The
man who had jumped off the balcony
was stilt in sight, walking at a leisure-
ly pane across the wide alley of turf be-
tween the two rows of trees. The glass
brought him near enough for recog-
niticm, and air. Sinclair had no doubt
as to his identity.
"If you lay on to those leaders like
that, you'll. have this blessed machine
in a ditch.," cried Sir Thomas Hound -
slow. "What's the matter with eon?
The herses are stepping like clock-
work."
"Juno was breaking into a canter,"
said Gilbert coloring. "Quiet, old lady;
steady, steady."
"She's steady enough," said Sir
Thomas; "I think it's you. that are
wild. Memorandum, don't drink kir-
schen wasser after champagne when
you're going to drive a team of young
laorses."
Mr. Sinclair took the curve by the
park gates in excellent style, despite
this insinuation, and pulled up before
the old. Gothic porch with workman-
like precis* ion.
-That's a very pretty- bit of feather -
edging," eala Sir 'Thomas, approvingly.
Gilbert did not wait to see his friends
alight but flung the reins to one of
the grooms and walked off without a
word to any one.

And then came a word which had
never before been spoken in Constance
Sineleir's hearing, but which some in-
stinct of her woman's heart told her
meant deepest infamy.
She recoiled from him. with a little
cry, and then fell like a log a,t his feet.
Lan that brutal word should too
weakly express an outraged husband's
wrath, Mr. Sinclair had emphasized it
witu a blow. That muscular fist of his,

the man's blind fury had prevented the
blow being mortal.

"Look you here, Sir Cyprian," Gilbert
began, at last, with savage abrupt-
ness. "If we had lived in the dueling
days --the only days when Englishmen
were gentlemen—I should have sent a
friend to you to -night instead of corn-
ing myself, and. the business might have
been arranged in the easiest manner
possible, and settled decisively before
breakfast to -morrow. But as our new
civilization does not allow of that kind
of thing, and as I haven't quite enough
evidence to go into Divorce Court, I
thought it was better to come straight
to you and give you. fair warning of
what you. may expect in tele future."
"Let us suppose that dueling is not
an exploded custom. We have France,
and Belgium, and a few other countries
at our diepesal if we should make up
our minds to fight. But I should like
to know the grounds of our quarrel be-
fore we go into details."
'I am glad you are man enough to
fight me,' anewered the other, savage-
ly. "I don't think you can require to
be told wily I should like to kill you.;
or if you have been in doubt about it
up to this moment, you will know
pretty clearly when I tell you that I
saw you. jump off the balcony of my
wife's summer -house this afternoon."
"I am sorry that unceremonious exit
should. offend you. I had no other way
of getting back to Maxchbrook in time
for my train. I should have had to
walk the whale width of Da,venant Park
and about a mile of high -road if I had
left by the aeremer-house door."
"And you think it a gentleman -like
thingto be in my neighborhood for a
fortnight, to avoid ray• house, and to
meet my wife clandestinely itt a lonely
corner of my park ?"
"There was no clandestine meeting.
You insult your wife by allele a sup-
position, and prove—if proof were need-
ed of so obvious a fact—your unworth-
iness of such a wife. My visit to the
8m:tuner-house waspurely; accidental. I
heard Mrs. Sinclair singing—heard the
bitter cry which grief—a mother's
sacred grief—wrung from tier in her
solitude, and followed the impulse of
the moment, which prompted me to
console a lady whom I knew and loved.
when she was a child."
"And afterward, when she had ceased
to be a child—a few months before she
became my wife. Your attachment was
pretty well known to the world in gen-
eral, I believe. It was only I who was
left in ignorance."
"You might ea,sily have known what
the world knew—all. there was to be
known—simply nothing."

CHAPTER XVIII.
Sir Cyprian Davenant left March -
brook an hour after his iuterview with
Constance Sinclair. He eent his man
home with the portmanteaus and gun -
cases, and went straiglit to his club,
where he dined. It was between eight
and nine when he walked to his °barn-
bers through the snowy streets. The
walk through the rough weather suit-
ed his present temper, He could have
walked manyea mile across a Yorkshire
moor that night ire the endeavor to
walk down the anxious thougbts that
crowded upon his mind.
His interview with Constance—like all
such meetings between those whom
Pate has irrevocably parLed—had deep-
ened the gloom of his soul., .and added
to the bitterness of his regrets. It bad
brought the past nearer to him, and
made the inevitable harder to bear than
it ha/ seemed yesterday.
He had seen all the old loveliness in
the innocent face, changed though it
was. He had heard all the old nausie
in the unforgoilen voice. To what
end? That brief greeting aeross be

of the long future in which these two,

ing out of the Strand. There eves .a

GLASS BRICKS NOW.
Said to Be As Strong and Durable As Clay
Brinks.
Glass bricks are the latest novelty in
the construction of houses to excite the
wonder and discussion of architects.
These bricks are made of blown glass,
with a. hollow center containing rari-
fied ait, and they are said to be as
strong and durable as the clay bricks
now used for building purposes. They
freely admit the light. A long list of
architectural possibilities is opened up
by this discovery. It is said that in the
near future men may be living in glass
houses. Windows raay be done away
with, except for purposes of admitting
air. It will be possible to look through
a brick wall without the use of an X
ray, because the bricks will be of glass.
People may have to use shades on the
inside of their walls to prevent the pub -
lin looking in. At the present time the
games bricks are being used. for the con-
struction of conservatories. For this

maintain an equable te.mpera.ment,keep-
ing out the cold. This experiment was
first tried. in. Germany, where the bricks
were invented. The walls of a plant
house in Berlin were made of this new
building material. Light easily paseed
through the wall to the potted shrubs
within, but it was impossible for the
Gold to find an entrance. So successful

first specimens of the new glass bricks
to reach this country were publicly exa
hibited a. few weeks ago in the display
of the Architectural League in the Fine
Arts Society building of New York. En-

be used in the construction of bot -

are made of blown glass, and are clos-
ed under 500 degrees of heat. They can
be readily joined by a white cement.
It is expected that they will be useful
in building roofs in the, semi -circular
forni without the need of a supporting
strueture of steel and iron.

THE SILENT SALISI3UB.Y.
Few but Lord. Salisbury's intimates
know that he is by nature one of the
most silent of men, quite a Von Moltke
in that respect. Even as a boy at Eton
he was much given to solitary mooning
through the playing fields with only
an occasionne game of " six -penny"
cricket. He was nob po_pular generally,
except with his own form, tor which
he dicl all the work; and was always put
on by his tutor to construe, which he
did so well that no one else had to
expect a turn. His taciturnity has stuck
to him, and the writer remembers that
when at the India office he greatly dis-
appointed. some high official who had
called to see bine on some great gees -
tion. "What do I think of him? Very
little. Wlay, he heard. all I hat to
say, then bowed me out with 'Good
morning,' and not another word."
