Dr. Clement crossed the room with a
sigh and then stood still. A faint tinkle
had sounded in the hall outside, a tinkle
like the bell of bis front door. He lis-

was no other sound, and for a, moment
he hesitated before be passed out to

decided that he would refuse to go. Her

He flung open the door Impatiently,
convinced that he should see her tall

He stared and then retreated back-

past, but as he did some one started
from out of the shadow -some one thin
and white, with the face of a ghost and
wide, girlish blue eyes.
He stared down at her. She seemed
breathless and as the light fell full on
ber he saw that her lips were quivering.
"Come in,". he said quickly, and tell

She stepped, shivering, cold and wet,
into the hall and looked into his face.

heart.

She ran swiftly, but she was too late.
Even as she reached him a revolver shot

"My father!" she cried, hoarsely. "Dr.

Nor could the collection be extended

and guardian holds it too sacred for suck
profane touch, Miss Buttolph courteously
receives anyone interested in menus, but
always with a proviso. A request for a
view of her treasures brings forth a
searching glance at the outstretched
kneads, and scant is her mercy if they
are not spotless.

purposes," she explained, "it must pre.,
sent a neat appearance in 1950 or 2000,
as the ease may be. I do not hesitate
to rejece any card that shows more
grime than art, unless it is entitled to
respect by reason of age."
This shows the serious attitude of the
collector, and an inspection of the scores
of neatly lebeled boxes and the precisely
arranged card index reveals the scientific
;features of the collection itself. It is di-
vided into snore than a hundred classifi-
cations, as the excuses for eating are as-
tonishingly numerous, running from
birthday celebrations to death feasts,

to centennial banquets honoring Wash-

of present day extravagance is one from
the famous "Camp dinner" given at Del-
monico's by Dr. J. B. Clemens in the win-
ter of 1002. For $200 a plate the caterer
agreed to transport to New York a sec-

These barrels are made with straight
staves and are hooped with wire, and
when properly made in this manner they
are capable of holding and substance
whatever and can be put to all the
uses which the "bulge" barrel is put to
at present,. The inventor says that with
his system it is possible to establish a
plant at the edge of a forest of trees
and to transform the wood almost di-
rectly into barrels. The staves, after
being dried in the kiln and then sub-
jected to a short exposure in the air,
are ready to be made up into barrels.
The staves are wired and crated for
shipment, the heads being crated separ-
ately and in this shape sent to any pert
of the world. By means of a small hand
tool they may be put together by any
one having the slightest knowledge of
the use of tools. The joints are made
so tight by means of the tool referred
to that any commodity can be placed
in the barrel with perfect safety. The
Alexe barrel can be put together in two
minutes.

VALUE OF CAMPHOR TREES.
By -Products of Formosa's Growth Are
of Considerable Worth.
Every part of a camphor tree, even to
the leaves, contain camphor. The for-
ests are not confined to _Formosa alone,
but are also found in Japan proper.
With the extension of the industry the
large areas of this. tree have been great-
ly redliced, through replanting and cul-
tivation are practiced to a considerable
extent, a tree requiring fifty years te
attain a diameter of one foot.
In Formosa, however, there is still
an extensive supply of native forest
growth and many huge trees are to be
found in regions still unexplored, The
supply, therefore, is assured for years
to come.
Camphor is found in the form of cry -
stale in the wood tissues and is separ-
ated. from the crude oil by double 'lis -
filiation. From the first diseitlation
is secured an oxidizea product, empire-
genotol, the principle of the camphor
oils of commerce, The crude emptier
is a dark-eolored substance, fusing at
170 degrees eenteigrade.
Among the by-products may be meu-

A Formidable Foe, Not Only in Health,
But Comfort.
People who come down to their stores,
shops and offices each morning wonder
how it happees that such a. heavy accu-
mulation of dust should confront them
on minters and' desks and other furni-
ture. If they would take a look at the
city sweepers ihat pass in the night and
see the great clouds that roll im and
enter every crevice, the particles work-
ing their way around even the closest
joints, their wonder would diseppear. Yet
dust is a formidable foe not only to
comfort, but to health. it is freighted
with all kinas of peril. It is tbe medium
by mons of which the microbes of dis-
ease distribute themselves. It provides
the millions of winos upon which they
fly to the points of least resistance.
But the public streets are not the
only sources of discomfort and the public
sweepers are not the only offenders, The
housewife's broom multiplied many times
is an evil, though a necessary one, or at
least it has been so, and the time is
now at hand when it is a force to be
dreaded more than' ever. The house-clean-
ing season approaches. Not merely the
floors and carpets to which more or less
thorough attention is given from day to
day, but tbe whole household comes he
for its annual or semi-annual attack.
The accumulations of months are to be
disturbed and set in motion, and fortis -
nate is the household that can escape
the ordeal without anything worse than
twelve to the last one, whose legs are
ten feet long. In this aet everyone must
bea musieian as well as a clown, for,
