"I've thought a good bit lately about matrimony," confessed Mr. Payne. "I'd like to 'ave a little 'ome of my owe," he mentioned pathetically. The cook was silent awhile, for he was thinxing of his own little home, -where his wife's aunt had tome to live. She contributed no- thing towards the household ex- penditure, and, on occasian, could tross-examine very effectively as lel the way an evening had been eHieent—two things which caused the MA to look. on her without affec- tion. Suddenly, to the cook there same an idea of dazzling brilliance, lead ho turned tremulously to Mr. Payne. "Really thinking of getting mar- ried, was you?" he said genially. "I suppose you must be close on sixty, 'Orace?" "Fifty-four !" said Mr. Payne. "Folks tell me I look less." "You mustn't believe everything tau 'ear, 'Orace," replied the cook. • "And so yon'rethinking of getting married? 'Ave yon thought of any • particular lady ?' he inquired anx- iously. "I've been looking round a bit," said Mr. Payne guardedly. "1 'ave not come across the lucky female know one, 'Orace," mention- ed the cook. "just cut out for , you. A aunt of my wife's. 'You'd be nay uncle!" he laughed hurried- ly, conscious of Mr. Payne's sus- picious gaze. "I wouldn't mind that so very much," said Mr. Payne frankly. "There'd be no need to tell folks. 'Ow old is she?" "About forty, more or less," said the cook. "Less, I should say. Werry genteel in her ways." "Good-looking 1" catechised Mr. Payne. • "Depends," said the cook with • caution. "People 'ave different kleas about good looks. Some folks •'saw -mild think 'er all right." "Good at 'ousework?" continu- ed Mr. Payne. "'Er cooking—oh, 'er cooking 1" exclaimed the cook, enthusiastical- ly. Give 'er a red 'erring, and • she'll make it taste like boiled sal- mon !" Mr. Payne sat assimilating this ' tribute to the lady's skill. "Does all the work she can," said the cook. "Never 'appy except when she's working. And econom- ical ! And she's got a nice quiet taste in dress. One frock a year is about all she wants." "Pit come and 'ave a, look at ,"er," promised Mr Payne, "soon as ever we hackle port. Three days later the Jane Gladys was berthed, and that evening the nook took Mr, Payne's arm, and led him ashore to call on his wife's "A friend of mine—Mr. • 'Orace Payne!" introduced the cook, exceeding cordiality, he met kr. • "'Orace, this is MSS Frupp, rny Payne that evening as that gentle - wife's aunt, what I believe I men- man left the Jane Gladys, tioned to you once or twice." Despite a certain air of restraint, Mr. Payne sat down, and, ignor- which sneaked Mr. Payno's attitude Mg the blandishments of his host to towards Miss Frupp, the evening draw him into conversation, re- opened pleasantly enough, so was when they were all seated round the cook sententiously. She's got a loving 'eart, And she's took to you. I could see it by the way she looked down when she said good- night to you!" "Of course, she's got a bit of money?" asked Mr. Payne. "What's money?" demanded the cook loftily. "Just stuff to apend, What's money .compared to love— the love of a good wornael" he ad- ded, with happy memories of a visit to the theater. "Meney ain't to be considered." "I suppose that means that she hasn't got any?" said Mr. Payne coldly. "Not as I knows of," admitted the cook. Mr. Payne paused, and with- drew his arm from his companion's "Well, good -night, cookie I" he said, off -handedly. "Thanks for the good supper!". He strode off, whistling, leaving the cook to stare blankly after hire. At an early hour next morning Mr. Payne woke to find the cook sitting on his bunk. The cook low- ered his voice to a confidential whisper. "I was only teasing you last Mgt, 'Orace, about 'er money," he said. "She's got lots." "That's a lie 1" commented Mr. Payne impa,ssively. "She's got some," asseverated the cook untruthfully. "She's told me so dozens of times." "Cookie, it's no good!' said Mr. Payne. "You've 'ad the night to think things over, and now you've come down 'ere to stuff me up. Mind you, if she'd got a little mon- ey, I'd !aye been willing to over- look 'er dppearance, But she 'asn't, so I can't." He turned over with an air of finality, and the cook walked brok- enly away to enter on the labors of the morning. Very thoughtful was the cook all that day, and his attitude towards Mr. Payne was one of dignified re- served. Still thoughtful was the cook when he reached home that night. It was only at the approach of bedtime that he showed anima- tion. "Got it!" he cried, smacking his knee. Next morning he greeted Mr. Payne with cheerfulness. "Bygones is bygones, 'Oraee," he declared. "I don't bear you no ill -will, and you don't me." Mr. Payne extended the hand of friendship. "I won't 'ide from you the truth, 'Orace," the cook said hansisomelY. "Miss Frupp 'as not got any mon- ey. I only said that to try you, to see if you was thinking of mar- rying 'er for 'er money. Now know, it snakes things easier. She ain't got no money, and therefore, you needn't trouble your 'ead about 'er." "I ain't going to," said Mr. Payne, manfully. "But just to show there's no ill - feeling;" went on the cook, "I want you to come round and 'ave supper with us again to -night." "I'll come," promised Mr. Payn e. The cook'went off at midday with something of elation visible in his step. On the way home, he called at a post -efface, and, by a stubborn cross-examination, learnt the exact hour at which to post a letter so thee it would be received at his house by the last delivery. An hour later he posted a letter. With garded Mies Frupp apeculistavely. •Signior was served soon, sold Mr, Payne woke from his lethargy to • sniff approval at the savory con- tents of a dish.

Perkins, disaev- erer of coal tar mauves. opened the way to an industry that is worth millions of dollars annually to the World, and also ]aid the foundation of modern industrial thenrstry. His discovery clothed the arnres where. The Vrench and Germane especially took up the work and carried it forward with such sue - cess that the manufacture of coal tar dyes is one of their largest in- dustries. The little planes of dyes that can be purthased for ten cents and used by anyone, the gorgeously tinted raiment of big theatrical productions, the. .wondrous new shadesin dregs' fabrics,' and the Marvelous cheapening of colosing matter are all direct results of the experiments Perkins made during THATEASTER 'VACATION • His countrymen at that time did not ,recognize the valne of what he had done, and, while the chemiAs of other nations were eagerly con- ducting new experiments, Perkins, in Englancfrwas left to work prac- tically alone. The loss to England has been trenaendous, for English manufacturers have been forced to import vast quantities of dyestuffs, and all of them are the results of the discoveries which Perkins made half a century ago, It has been pointed out that Brit- ish neglect of what Perkins gave has resulted in a. direct loss of sev- eral million dollars every year, and that in the beginning he was great ly hampered in his work both by the ignorance of manufacthrers who should have used his product aud by the opposition of those who controlled the importation of med- der and indigo. • . Opposition and indifference did not disc-Mu:age him or, led •him to drop his work. In 1868, Grathe and Liebermann found a method for producing madder red. or 'aliz- arin. Their method was defective, because they could not produce at with a sufficiently low cost to compete THE. NATURAL ARTICLE. It took Perkins a year to reduce the Cost of manufacture far below rho cost of producing natural mad- der. Then he encountered the stone wall of obstinacy that had mei, him when he discovered mauve, German chemists in the meantime worked untiringly; hit upon. a cheap method of producing, and finally gained practical possession of the entire field.• • The five largest firms in the coun- try producing artificial dyes have a combined capital of over twenty- four million dollars, and one of them, the largest in the world, em- ploys forty-five hundred men, and the world in blue,. revolutionized always has one hundred and 'fifty the ranking of perfumery, and dee- skilled chemists at work. troyed the madder trade of Spain Perkins can also claim credit for by bringing starvation to hundreeis instituting' the artificial perfumery business.
