A farmer named Orton, living near

the father of n child which is naturally

the head, which is narrow aud runs up
into a peak, is a diminutive comb of o

clear and distinct. The child is not old
enough to talk and his attempts to do so
sound ex ictiy like a roostot’ - crow. Mr.

Judge Dcady, in the United States
Circuit Court of Oregon, has rendered
an important decision as to the scopo
and range of the Inter-State Commorco
Act. The eaio under consideration was
that of the receiver of tho Oregon and
California Railroad Company, a road ly¬
ing wholly within the State of Oregon.
Hu holds that “the Iutcr-Stato Com

all carriers engaged iu inter-State com¬
merce, but on y such as use a railway or
a rat.way and water craft under common
control or management for a continuous
carriage or shipment of property from
one State to another, nor does it apply
to the carriage of property by rail wholly
within the State, although shipped from
or destined to a place without the Slate,
so that such place is not in a foreign

MY COUSIN BILL.
BY DAISY MUBDOCK.
Ihad gone down to the old place to
see Cousin BUI Whoatly. Cousin Bill
had stayed there and worked the farm,
and been all in all to grandmother and
the rest, while 1 had grown to be a fine
gentleman in tho city—very fine in my
own estimation at least. And wo wore
walking togother along the green lane
between a five-acre meadow and the or¬
chard, when we heard a scream.
“Gracious,” crle^ ' >isln Bill. “That’s
her. I know her > voice. She’s got
frightened by the cows again. Hello 1
I’m here I Pm coming I Don’t stir J Up
on the fence, I know,” ho added to me
in confidential tones, “and right among
tho brambles."
“Who on earth is afraid of cows in
this placet” I asked.
But Bill was gone, and in a few mo¬
ments returned “with a pretty girl on his
arm. The wind had blown her hair
about, and the brambles had torn* her
musUn dress, but there was an air about
her I did not expect.
“Miss Mason, Cousin Henry, said Bill
“Mr. Hunter, perhaps, I ought to say;
but I hope you’ll bo Lilly to him and
ho Henry to you, after a while. He’s a
great favorito of mine, Lilly,- and has got
to be a boy# wonderfqi * lawyer in London.
Eh, old
Miss Mason said a few gay words to
me, and wo talked home together. She
kept his arm, and they were evidently
engaged; and I felt as though there
could be nothing more unsuitable. A
city lodger of my aunt’s, I supposed, for
she was very elegant However, I found
out after a while that she was only tho
schoolmistress. Her father had been one
of those rich men who fail and leave
their children penniless. And she had
had every advantage. Now she bore her
reverses with dignity and sweetness.
Perhaps the fact that Cousin Bill had
plenty of money had caused her to en¬
gage herself to. him. I could think of
no other reason except that she had not
yet met me.
To my taste she was the prettiest girl
I ever saw, and I felt that Bill stood be¬
tween me and my happiness. Besides
being a beauty, she was accomplished,
this girl. She saag, painted, danced.
8he would have ma^e a suitable wife for
the eminent law I hoped to be—for a
judge, if I came to that. She was thrown
away on a plain farmer. And there¬
upon I began to say to mysolf, “If I tried,
I might cut Bill out even yet. If Ido,
so much tho better.”
And, with this for my motive, I stayed
at the hospitable farm for weeks, and
Bill and his good mother never guessed
what I was at.
At last I was obliged to go back to
the city. How far I had succeeded with
Lillv Mason I did not know; but I was
resolved to put it to the test before I
went.
And on the last evening—Bill having
vanished somehow—I contrived to got
his sweetheart to go with pie into that
very lane behind the orchard where he
had introduced us, and there, in the
twilight, told her all I felt. <" v
“I love you, Lilly,’’ I said. “Do you
love me ?”
For answer, she burst Into tears.
“My darling, why do you weepP’ I
asked.
She sobbed violently.
' “Don’t ask me," she said. “Leave
ate. Never speak to me again. I am
engaged to your oouain, to Mr. Wheatly.
Did you not guess as much?”
“If I did," I answered, “I did not
feel that that should prevent me from
(peaking. It is a most unsuitable match.
You are throwing yourself away. I can
place you in a position more suitable to
you. You could help me to fight my
way upward, I believe you like me.
Can you say ydu do not P*
Lilly turned her face away,
“Do not talk of liking," he said.
“My word is pledged—my promiee
■ttiveu. If I have forgotten it sometimes.
i ****** u .... » ™,
good to me. I will marry him. At least
I shall learn to love him., Go; forget
me. I will forget you. I will do my
duty.
What next I should have said I do
not know. A voice foil between us
from over tho stone fence against which
I leant. Oh the other side stood ray
cousin Whcatly, tsli and pale as a ghost;
and the words he uttered were these:
“Duty t It’s anybody’s duty not to
marry unless she lovos. If you don’t
love me, Lilly Mason, I don't want you.
If you do love Cousin Henry Hunter,
why marry him. I wouldn’t stand in
your way for a kingdom."
His voice broke. Be was sobbing.
“It’s a blow,” ho said, “but bo’s
right. You would be throwing yourself
away on me—a country fellow without
looks or education, Good-byo, I sha'n’t
bother you any more, Lilly.”
He walked away. Lilly was gone
when I tu ned to look at her. In the
morning I sat alone at the breakfast
table with Bill’s mother. She evidently
knew the story. Her hospitality was
grim instead of friendly. She told me
that William had boen intending to
visit a distant city for some time, and
had “set off” early that morning.
I went over to tho school before the
train started. Lilly Mason was alone
behind her desk, her eyes swollen with
tears. The scholars had not yot arrived.
“Dearest,” I said, “do not wcop. I
am more in love with you thau ever, and
sinco you lovo me—’’
But, to ray astonishment, Lilly Mason
straightoned herself up, and pointed to
the door.
“How dare you come here?” sho said,
indignantly. “Leave me! Love you,
indeed! I simply hate you, Mr.Hunter!”
And sho meant it I walked away
in astonishment and fury, and went
back to my work in Loudon.
I felt that I had spoiled poor Cousin
Bill’s happiness, and my own also. And
I had made a pretty mess of itl Already
I was out of love with tho girl who bad
ordered me out of doors, and tokyiiosjhe
hated mo.’ > ..
Of course I nctfof saw anything of the
pcoplo at the farm, or hoard from them. ■
Ahd When, finally, I married a charming
girl, I felt that ray conscience would be
much easier if it were not for tho mem¬
ory of the wrong I had done Comin Bill.
I dared not send cards to any .>nc down
at tho old place. I felt they all hated
me, though ten years had passed sinco
my visit there.
Whnt, then, was my surprise when ono
day a tap came at ray office door, and
a pleasant face looked in.
I started to ray foot.
“Number eleven 1” I cried.
“Yes," sa d Cousin Bill’s voico. “I
saw your wedding notice, and came
down to congratulate you in person. A
good wife is a groat blessing," '?
“Indeed, it is!” Isaid, humbly. “How
good of you, Bill 1 IIow forgiving 1”
“Not at all," said Bill. “I’d have
como before, only I felt you might owo
me a grudge. Wo sit and talk of you
lots. How often I’ve thought of you as
a poor, disappointed bachelor, all alono
in London 1 And she has said, over and
over again, ‘Well, I hope he’s got a
little over it; but I sha’a’t ever forget
his face when wo parted.’ ”
“Your mother Biid that?" asked I.
“Oh, no; not motberl” replied cousin
Bill. “She sent her compliments, and
some of her best cheese. Cheese Is al¬
ways handy in a house, sho says, and
for you to come down this summer and
s3e us all. It was wife said that—Lilly,
you know.”
“Lilly I" I cried, “Then you married
her, after all?”
“Did you not know it?" asked Bill.
“Why, wo thought you were taking it
hard all this time. Yes. I dfdn’t start
early, as I expected; and I thought I’d
go over to the school and tell her I boro
no grudge; and I was looking in at the
back window when sho said she ‘hated
you,’ and told you to ‘goand 1 stepped
in at it as you banged tho door, and
then and there we made up. 8ho dis¬
covered it was, after all, more your
clothes than anything else that she
weakened on; and—well, I was only too
glad to let all be as it was, If sho would.
And we’re very happy and comfortable,
and have four children—two boys, a girl,
and a baby—another girl.

and I took him home to dinner.

WOMEN AS INVENTORS
Evidence of Their Genius in
the Patent Office.
8ome Important Invention# Due to Femi
sin# Skill and Ingenuity.
iTbe 'for Id has not given woman due
credit fdr her inventive faculties. Few
persons realize what an important role
she is pitying in the designing of nu
merous articles, userul as well as orna
mental. | The records of the patent of¬
fice show that fully nineteen hundred
patents are claimed by womon. Moreover
not a sr<dl number of tho patonts grant¬
ed to men are really for ingenious de¬
vices andddeoa that have originated in a
femiaitfi brain. The women of New
York bate been granted more patents
than their sisters in any other state, Tho
women of Massachusetts, Ohio, Indiana
and Wisconsin rank next in order. In
machinery women have done much. Al¬
most daily improvements in
se’ i machines come from
brains. In the model
room of the patont office, nearly side by
side with Ehas Howe’s machine, is one
made bj’ a Miss Rosenthal. It is a bandy
little trivance which can bo put in a
lady's pocket and screwed on to any or
draaty table. It is so dainty it looks fit,
for the .work room of a fairy. It will be
a boon to persons travelling, where It is
impossjble to take a large rfachine. Ma¬
chinists pronounce it practically perfect
in construction, but it has not yet boen
put up m the market
The first submarine telescope was the
production of Mrs. Sarah B. Mather, of
New York. Mrs. Montgomery shows a
section of a war veasol provided with a
aerie# qf iron plates #o constructed as to
resist shot and shell. There is also in
the model-room an engine of offense as
well as defense in the shape of a breech
p ioadiag^gun B H R. ^ credited ^e to Miss Ruth
stations H mon g more peaceful in
by women are a coupling pin and
■Plimprevod'tailjray (or street cars. A
life raft is a contrivance of Mrs.
Beaaeky. An appliance for raising
sunken vessels has been patented by
of Pennsylvania. Sho has
‘klso Wnffivelt k sypfioh propulier
Mrs. Frackelton, of Milwaukee, claims
to have made 800 women self-supporting
by means of a useful little portable kiln
for firing decorated china. This can be
attached to auy gas pipe and is an im
provement In the usual method of heat
>ng, affording a much more equable
temperament. Miss Mary Broughton, of
New York, discovered a now method of
forming air ohambers of dental platos in
artificial teeth. Miss Amelia Bird de
sired to make a noise in the world, and
her genius soared to steam whistles.
Mrs. Caroline Brooks, of Arkansas, has
patented some lubricating moulds in
plaster. Mrs. Brooks will be remembered
as the butter artist at the Centennial,her
lovely creation of Iolanthe attracting
much attention. She now has a studio
in New York.
Mrs. Sarah Ames, of Massachusetts,
patented the bust of Abraham Lincoln,
Of what the patont right consists does
not clearly appear, as artists generally
consider such things creations rather than
inventions, Mrs. Cornelia Beaufort of Ohio,
has a patent life-boat to her credit. Mr*,
Martha 3. Coston hag been very success
ful with her pyrotechnic night signals,
Sho is an example of what pluck and
perseverance can do. At the death of
her husband his papers were in a chaotic
condition ahd his designs not fully per
fected. Unaided, she brought them to
a point where they were practically va«
uable and she remained almost ten years
introducing them In the various foreign
ports. She has been rewarded for hor
perseverance by a fortune. Among the
queer inventions is an instrument for
restoring facial t Mrs.
symmetry, by
Fanny Batchelder, of Massachusetts.
The numerous patonts granted to womon
include fire-escapes, dust-brashes, baby
tender*^ devices for killing mosquitoes
and other insects, window-washers,
glove-fas tenors, food-preservers, cow
milkers, dish* washers, wa*hing-m achines,
cooking-stoves, corpse-preservers, bus¬
tles, face lotions, and all kinds of gar¬
ments.—[New York World.
A Queer Eagle in California.
For thirteen years an eagle has made
her nest in a cave near Santa Rosa, Cal.,
and reared her young. As soon as they
are old enbugh to care for themselves she
disappears, and is not Seen again until
the next year. Tbe young do not fol¬
low hor but stay in the neighborhood un¬
til shot or driven away. In the spring,
when she oomes to build her nest, she
file# direotly over the cave for several
days, flying a little lower each day until
at last she reaches the cave. After this
perhaps sho is not again seen for a week,
when she oomes out in search of food.
Storm Effects on Mentality,
It has been argued, with more or lest
warmth, that one’s disposition is largely
affected by the kind of weather which
prevails when one Is born. While this
is possible, it is also fanciful, and but
few put any faith In it. There Is, how¬
ever, another weather phenomenon In
which I believe: I am convinced that
thought is influenced, In a very consid¬
erable degree, by the weather. My no¬
tice was first drawn toward this by n
line ib one of Voltaire’s letters, in
which he said: “My work has been
murky to-day, because the weather wan
murky." From this time on, I took
close and careful nocount of my mental
condition during various kinds of
weather.
Once, as an experiment, I planned
two novels, to be worked on simultane¬
ously. The one plot was shaped during
a stormy period, and the other during a
brief season of sunshine and summer
glory which immediately follows:).
Whenover it was stormy, I worked upon.
the s orm-plannod novel; and whenever
the weather was bright I worked upon
tho other. In oach instance, I wholly
surrendered mysolf to the moods whloh
tho weather stirred up within me, and
made no offort to shake off the good
cheer of the one or the despondency with
which tho other encompassed me. As a
result, tho novol upon which was settled
no thadowof tho storm-taint was oheer
ful and good-humored; but the other
was to bitter, mournful and vindictive
that I never printed ft.—[North Ameri¬

A Mysterious Shower of Stones,
A newspaper published at Dolores,
Argentine Republic, which is situatod
near the volcanic region, gives an ao
count of a mysterious shower of stones
which fell near that city a few weeks
ago. , Tho stones are said to have fall
on as thick as hail, an l varied in size
from a pebble to a very respectable
boulder. Incalculable damage was done
to the crops, tall trees were shivered to
atoms, barns and outhouses were de
molished and many domestic animals
were killed. In some localities the
ground was covered with the bodies of
wild geese and hawks, which appeared
to have been killed during their flight
in the air. Several persons wer^lruck
and badly injured while at work in tho
fields, and in the city itself, which
missed tho violence of the shower, one
dwelling was wrecked. The stones are
said to havo fallen continuously for
more than a minute,
Peculiarities of Japan.
Dr. Edmund Neumann, for some years
at tho head of tho geological survey of
t
Japan, gives In uddition to a description
of the physical features of that country,
many entertaining sketches of the scen¬
ery and people of the mountain regions,
says the New York Post. In the north
he says that tbe snow accumulates In
enormous masses. There are villages
which frequently experience a fall Of
over twenty feet of snow. Naturally,
during winter nearly all outdoor life
ceases. In one village which he visited
the Inhabitants, after their breakfast, go
to the bathe, which are fed by hot
springs, and remain in them for (Its
whole of the day, enjoying the heat.
