Next day when Enderby entered the great iron gates of the grounds ot En- derby House the bell was ringing for noon. The house was long and low, with a fine tOwer in the miner, and two wings ran back, forming tbe courtyard,.which would bare been en- tirely inclosed bad the stables moved up to complete the square. When Enderby Caine out into the broad sweep. of grass and lawn, flanked on either side be, commendable trees, the sun shining brightly the rooks fly- ing overhea.d, and the smell of ripe summer in the air, he drew up his horse end sat looking before him.

Catching' sight of the horseman, she elapped her hands and waved them cle- delightedly. Enderby's face cleared, as the sun breaks through a Mane 0/clouds and lightens all the landscape. The slum- brous eyes glowed., the square head came up. In five minutes he had dis- mounted at the great stone steps and was clasping his daughter in his arms. "Felicity, my dear daughter I" he saki, tenderly and. gravely. She threw back her head with a gay- ety which bespoke the bubbling laugh- ter in her heart, and said: "Booh 1 to thy eolemn voice. Oh, thou great hear.,' chest thou love me svith tears ia thine eyes?" She took his hand and drew him in- side the house, evhere, laying aside his het and gloves and uword, they passed into the great librery. "Come, elOW, tell me the places thou hast been to," she seld. perching herself on his armchair. He told her and ahe counted them off one by one upon her fingers. "That is ninety ismilof travel thou hest had. What the most pleasing thing thou hast seen?" "It was in Stickford by the Fen," he answered, miter o, perplexed pause. "There was an old man upon the road- eide with his head bowed in his hands. Some lads were making port ot Lor he seemed so avoe-begone and old. Two cavaliers of the king came by.

This is the exact spot located, and with the attraction continued at full limit the matter or the extx•actiou of the particle becomes simple. MAGNET THAT DOES THE WORE. The magnet rests on a swivel, and Ibis swivel is ,placed on a. stand. 'Ilie magnet itselt is twenty-four 'incite!? from pole to pole. It is formed ot two cylindrical parts, each of which Le sr -rapped wieb wire. Without the wrap- ping one section ot the magnet is al.301.1t a. foot in diameter, The two pales are joined by as metal bar, circular inform. its diameter being three inches and its length the same. There extends frora the outer end of each cylinder, neer- les of top -like extenslous about four inthes long, evhich ternaivate 'with pointed pegs. The circular bar which joins the 1110 wire wrepped cylinders rests upon an- other bar, also oircular in form, of the same diameter, upon which it swings by means of a swivel. This her rests upon a wooden platform, eight inches square, at each corner of which is o. peg, knobbed at the top: To each of these pegs an electric wire is fasten- ed, and every wire extends up along the wall near which the magnet stands. The eight inch platform rests on a square block about three inches in height, and it in turn rests upon a ta- ble WhiCh is about 1,400 feet square. Under the old method, if the par- ticle simply adhered to the surface of the eye rt could be easily swept off, after tile eye hail been cocainized, by Paeans of a little absorbent cotton, twisted around a probe or a wooden toothpick. It is When the particle is deeply imbedded in the eye, or has forc- ed its way into that portion of the orb known as the corneal tissue, because of striking the eye while hot, that it becomes necessary to use instruments or a magnet. OPERATING ON TICE EYE. When a patient comes to the doctor to be treated for an iejury to the eye • he is seated in a, cheer with a head- rest. facing a good light. The doctor first steadies the oyehall with the. thumb and forefinger of his left hand, Should he discover that the, bit a me- tal is very minute and not to be read- ily seen, he calls an assistant, who fo- cuses the light upon the eye by means of a large sik-incla reading lens. When be finds that the particle can be seen nicely he takes the gouge or the hie- toury, the two dainty and yet terror- izing instruments ot tha eye special- ist, and with the point of either he makes an insertion between, the par- ticle, and in a moment, if the sur- geon. be skilful, the metal is out up- on the surface. It must hot he understood that the use of the magnet renders altogeth- er unnecessary the instruments referred. to. The attraction of the magnet causes the surface of the eyeball be- nea,th which the bit of metal is lodged to bulge out, showing the. exact; posi- tion of- the particle. ithis whore the surgeon finds it necessary to use the gouge or the bistoury„just as in au operation where the magnet Wan not used. ,The advantage in this case is found in the fact that there is no de- lay or doubt as to the location of the offending particle. How Ls it when the particle merely adheres to the surface of the eyeball instead of penetrating the tissue ill great degree? Eye ainl. magnet are brought into juxtaposition, The eye- ball is bared to the full extent of the electric current. In less time than an eye twin.kles the particle, as if endow- ed with life, fairly leaps from the eye- ball to the magnet's surface. increase his stock it is only necessary • render, and to deliver up their valtt- to &We thestrimmings of his old canes, oat there into longthe of 10 or 12 thiee One ruffian rnede to setze the THE DEFECT IN IIER ARMOR. piece, cut the lower • bridle of Lora Itumingtleleas hereto, inchee, being sure there ere two or it my lord% stvord came down end Strong-rainded WOMen TIOW abound, tone eyee en, 00,0h severed the fellow's hand at the wriet, na wile" i9 9he Whe943 49alltalSVelffht ende of each 2ust below en eye, tio DttaaLts this qusstioo, Pr°f°a° • in bunehee an liury them sand in 'know whom you attack 1" .AGE SAVES SHOE LEATHER.
