"I would have come up to your room, Lady Ferndale, but thought you would • be tired. 3farquis, how many years is it since we met?" "I am ashamed to say," said Vane, with his ,rave smile. "It is to be hoped he hasn't forgotten lie all," says a soft, sweet voice at his elbow, and Jeanne is almost guilty of an uncourtly stare, for there, in front of her, smiling sweetly, and gently wav- ing her fan with a subtle, placid serenity, is --Lady Lueelle. Jeanne is about to hold out her baud -as to an old acquaintance, but Lady Lueelle, smiling still, and with the moat perfect composure, looks at Vane, and waits for an introduction. With a face as grave as a judge, Vane bows. • "Lady Lucelle, permit me to introduce my wife."' Then her ladyship, with the sweetest smile, extends her hand, gloved with in- numerable buttons. "I am so glad we have met, deer Lady Ferndale," she says; "I hope -oh. I know we shall be great friends!" and before Jeanne can realize it, before she can un- derstand bow it is managed, she is seated beside Vane's former love -the woman who hes wrought her the greatest injury she has ever received. One after another are introduced and snake their bow; servants hover to and fro waiting for the arrival of someone er they announce dinner. The someone is Lord Charles. He comes in with his usual light, hurried step, and comes di- rectly across to the new maichioness. Jeanne looks up with extended hand. It is her husband's oldest, dearest friend. Charlie's manners are not of the new school. He takes Jeanne's hands -both hands, and wrings them up and down, till Jeanne's eyes dance with their old girlish fire. "Delighted to see you!" he says. "We shall be friends, Lady Ferndale! Don't say there's a doubt of it, though I am Vane's bachelor friend; and wives don't like bachelor friends, do they? But you'll let me put my toes on the fender and smoke a pipe, eh?" he says, looking with frank and hearty admiration on the fresh, loving face. "As many as you like," says Jeanne, and Vane, standing by, smiles -as he hasn't smiled for three months quite. dome, I'm awfully hungry," says Lord Charles; "so are you, I'in sure. What are we waiting for, mother? Old Sparks is dancing about with impatience like a bear on hot bricks!" Lady Nugent looks around. "Oh, Lord Lane isn't here yet -oh, yes, here he conies." And the next instant Clarence's hand- some face is seen above tbe crowd. It is flushed, not to say red; he has evidently had a struggle with a refractory collar or necktie ,and he looks tired and ex- hausted. For a moment he recognizes nobody, and it is net until Clarence takes him by the arm and draws him to the sofa with a "Lane les me introduce ou t _ Disease takes no sinner vacation, 11ou need flesh. and strength use Scott's Emulsion %a/ICING IN SIGNS eco INDIANS. *00000 Accomplished Deaf Mute Able to Con- verse With the Crows, When (mune, faille, the accomplished deaflnuto who has done to much in France for those afflicted like herself, visited; this country three weeks ago and went to visit rolutives in southern Cali- fornia she journeyed a little out of her way and spent a 'week in investigating the sign language of the Crowl:aliens. sale ter free stanpkk, To a New York friend elle wrote that SCOTT & BOwNE, Chen'fiti, she was amazed at the facility with Tenets Oearis. which sho could convoy her thoughts to eye. m.dilt,"Q4 elides c4ti. a people as ignorant of her nlotl;er tongue as she was of theirs.

The crowning glory, automobiling tour- ing, however, lies in the demand it has created, in all parts of the world where motor cars are being used for pleasure or business purposes, for good roads, Here in America the good roads move- ment, within decent years, has become -a question of national importance. With :the exception of a few States, notably New Jersey and Massachusetts,, the sub- - iect of bettor roads was the last thought that gave the legislators the least par- ticle of trouble. The Automobile Club of America In its younger days expend- ed a tremendous amount of argumenta- tive energy in endeavoring to convince the lawmakers of New York that money expended on good roads was a good business investment. Their appeals bought out a few thousand dollars, scmewhat grudgingly given. Finally the generous sum of one hundred thou- sand dollars was appropriated, and at the forthcoming election a constitution- al amendment will be presented to the voters providing that the State may bond itself for five million dollars for ten years for the building of improved wagon roads. Agitation has been productive of sim- ilar good results 9n other States, Gov- ernor Dineen, of Illinois, gave a marked - illustration of the growing demand for better road, in the West when, in his _ last message he made a strong plea for the expenditure of more money and careful thought upon road -building. His statement that barely two per cent of tate Illinois roads were suitable for traf- fic at all periods of the year was no exaggeration and scores of other States could show no higher average. Depart- ments of highways have been establish- ed in Califoreia, Idaho, Minnesota, Mis- sissippi, Missouri, Oregon Tennessee, North Carolina., Nebraska and in sev- eral of the Eastern States in which the good roads movement has languish- ed. Florida recently appropriated five hundred thousand dollars for good roads, and it is confidently predicted that with- in a short time there will not be a State in the Union that will not inanifest a just pride in tbe increasing mileage of its serviceable roads good all the year round. -H.

How the "Tobacco King" Won His King- dom, Washington Duke, the founder of the tobacco business which has made his family name familiar all. over the world, built up a fortune estimated at from $7,500,000 to $10,000,000 by a, liberal ad• vertising policy. In the early days of his first tobacco venture, which was started in a small barn, he spent more than half his profits in keeping his pro- ducts before the public. Subsequently when the business had been .enormously enlarged by a judicious use of publicity, the firm of which he and his sons were the principal members spent in one year $800,000 for advertising at home and abroad. He earned the title of the "Tobacco King" principally because he discovered a few years sooner than his competitors the best methods of getting in touch with costumers. -- SUDDEN DEATHS ON THE IN- CREASE. -People apparently well and happy to -day, to -morrow are stricken down, and in uln.ety-nine cases out of every hun- dred the heart is the cause.

ONE ORIFICE KETTLE, Novel Utensil, Which is of English Origin, A true novelty in kitchen utensils is being brought out by a Birmingham, England, manufacturer, in what he has styled the "one orifice kettle." The feature of this design is that it obviates the use of a hinged lid, or in fact any lid, which sooner or later proves itself an annoyance and inconvenience in manipulating a kettle filled with hot water or other liquid. The spout is • I 11u ao.p-.a>7eaSaso' Tea Kettle Without a Lid. enlarged and given the unusual shape shown in the illustration, thereby serv- ing the double purpose of filling opening and pouring spout. It will be noticed that the top is at an angle to the body of the kettle, thus ensuring the escape of any steam that may be generated. In order to give the kettle a finish the orifice has a turned edge over a brass ring. The device is recommended for hot water cans, tea kettles and in modi- fied form for water pots, etc. A Corean Curiosity. Oriental gardeners are adepts at plant tricks, but one of the unique produc- tions of the Corean gardener is a natur- al armchair, in which the required sape was attained during the growt of the vine. Almost from the time the first tiny shoot appeared the vine had been care- fully treated in anticipation of the use to which it was to be put. By the fime it attained its growth it was formed in- to a perfect rustic arm chair, studded with the seeds of the ginko tree, which had grown into the fibres of the wood, as ornaments. nament r . s All ofthe joints_ were made by graft- ing, so that the chair is practically in one solid piece, and after it had attained a growth of some three feet it was cut and dried. When thoroughly seasoned it was poly ished, the wood taking a finish like ma- hogany, and it forms the only complete chair grown upon the plant. AUGUST CENTURY SALES.

I believe that story of the duck that un- derstood the theory of osmosis," Mr. Bur- roughs said. "I believe it as implicitly as I believe the story of he crippled lion and the young lieutenant. "Perhaps you have heard this story? No? Well, then, a young lieutenant, during ani African campaign, came one day upon a bad- ly crippled lion. The grea tbrute limped over the tawny sand on three pays, holding Its fourth paw in the air. And every now and then, with a kind of groan, it would pause and lick the injured paw piteously. When Oho younglieutenant itcame the ]Ion saw slowly toward him. Iie stood his ground, rifle in hand. But the beast meant no harm. It drew close to him; it rubbed against him with soft feline purrs; it extended its hurt paw. The lieutenant examined the paw and found that there was a large thorn in 1t. Ile extracted the thorn, the lion roaring with pain, and he bound up the wound with his handkerchief. Then, with every manifesta- tion of relief and gratitude, the animal with- drew. But it remembered its benefactor. It was grateful. And in a practical way it re- ly crippled lion. The great brute limped over the regiment's list of officers and ate all who were the lieutenan't's superiors in rank. Thus in a few weeks the young man, thanks to the astute animal, became a colonel," NEW YORK, PHILADELPHIA In going to above points take direct route, Lehigh Valley Railroad.

Seventeen hours of religious services preceded the crowning of the statue of "The Virgin of the Pillar," in the Ca- thedral of Saragossa. Twenty-two altars were in use, ser- vices being continuous at all of them. and at last the Archbishop advanced with due solemnity and placed the crown upon tho head of the statue, while a military band stationed outside played the royal march and a salute was fired from the fort. The ceremony was followed by a jolli- fication and the performance of national dances in the market place. The crown was presented by the Queen Mother and the ladies of the aristocracy of Madrid and is valued at $150,000, be. ing more costly than some of the crowns worn by lchn ;s.

Domestication of the Ostrich in South Africa for Its Plumage, The domestication of the ostrich in South Africa for the sake of its plumage took place less than thirty years ago. To -day the capital invested rune into millions. Ostriches aro curious birds. The male bird sits on the eggs during the night (5 p.m. to 0 a.m.), the hen takes up sen- try duty during the day, and the curious thing is that the pair are punctual to a minute. Eggs left unprotected for a single night will be useless next morn- ing. The incubation lasts from forty- two to forty-five days. When eight days old the chicks are removed from the par- ent birds and put in a small inelosuro with an old boy or woman in charge to tame them; unless this 'is done they will, when grown up, retain a great deal of their wild nature. When the feathers are required a cap is placed over the head of the bird, which is then put into a box. The feath- ers are not cut unless properly matured; that is to say, when the blood vein run- ning in the quill has sufficiently dried up so as to prevent bleeding. The long • wing feathers are cut about ono inch from the flesht. The short one are drawn. 'KIDNEY SEARCH LIGHTS. = Have you backache? Do yo,. feel drowsy? Do your limbs feel heavy?

If it is true that good work implies that the workman knows himself, It Is equally true that the best work shows that he has forgotten himself. There is only one right way to work -and it is either in doing things before they are started, nor in doing them ail over again after they are finished. Go to some successful workman and ask him which of his days were happiest, and it's long odds that he'll say to you, "Tame in which I began. my career." It is only when at work that man fulfills his proper place in God's creatruo scheme. They are indeed rare exceptions who "also serve, who only stand and wait." The world is altogether too restricted in its use of ,the word "art." Work of any t, t. kind, done superlatively well, is art -dusting j► picture as well as painting them. A good worker is pretty much like a horse, after all. When it's up -hill going, don't worry him; when it's down -hill going, don't him; and be sure and take burr i good care of him when he's in the barn.-Succss Mag- azine.

As yet we lac!: wings -even the girls who are pretty enough to have then. But the wing exception proves the rule.
