There wasn’t a day I could work from the time I brought it home in November till last week. If I’m not interrupted and got on as well as I have been doing, I may be in time for send iug-in-day after all. (Gentle knock at the door, which Hatherly does not bear.) Visitor: Tap, tap. Hatherly (impatiently): O, bother! I’ll pretend I’m out. Visitor (louder): Tap, tap, tap! Letty Lorimer (hesitatingly): Yes, Dick. May I come in? You’re sure I’m not disturbing you? Hatherly (mendaciously): 0, no. Of course you’re not. But I say,Letty, you won’t mind my going on with my work, will you? I want to get this done for the Academy, and time is short now. Letty (earnestly): No, Dick! Hatlierly (complacently): That’s all light, then. Sit down there like a dear, and don’t mind me. You see, jthe light is good now, and in a while "it will be loo' darls fo paint. Letty takes a seat behind him and silently watches the progress of the work. At last, summoning up courage, she says nervously: Dick! Hatherly (starting): Yes! why, I had nearly forgotten you, Letty. By the bye, what has become of the Dowager? She doesn't usually allow you out alone. Letty: Grandmama is tired to-day and resting. I’ve been to the dress* maker’s. Ford is with me. She is waiting in the carriage downstairs. I came alone (falteringly) because I wished to speak to you. Hatherly: That’s right, my dear. Gossip away. Tell me all your new T s. I can listen quite well, though I’m busy. How’s the old lady? Been any pleasanter lately? Letty (almost in tears): O, Dick! her temper is simply unbearable. Hatherly: Horrid old vixen. I’m glad she’s no guardian of mine. Letty: Ido try to be patient, but her tongue is so bitter and so cruel. Hatherly (absently): Poor little girl. Letty: I sometimes feel as if I could run away. Hatherly (engrossed in studying foreground of picture, sotto voce): Ah, I’ve caught it now. Claxton was right. That ’shadow to the left is too heavy. What are you saying, Letty? Letty (getting it out with a jerk): Do you rember Captain Grierson, one of the Leicester Griersons? Hatherly (squeezing fresh color on his palette): Yes, that alteration will make all the difference. I beg pardon, Letty. You were saying— Letty (patiently): Do you remem ber Captain Grierson? Hatherly: Yes; he was at Rugby with me. Or was that his brother? Cecil Grierson—sandy-haired chap, tall. Letty: Yes, Cecil Yere Grierson. I want to tell you, Dick —(Hatherly, leaving Easel abruptly, goes to a table anil returns with a small piece of card board with square cut from the centre, through which he gazes absorbedly at the new arrangement. Letty sighs despondently.) Hatlierly (turning to her): Say, Letty! Just look through this square a moment. Don’t you think the pic ture will compose better with that shadow lightened? Letty (pale and agitated): Dick, I must go soon. Can you spare me a moment to-day? Hatherly (penitently): Excuse me, deal’. I’m beastly rude, treating you like this. It’s the fault of this glorious light. There hasn’t been a day like it all winter. I’m a boor, I know, but the fatal Monday draweth nigh after which no man can work. Letty: Well, I was trying to tell you that Captain Grierson returns to India in two months to rejoin his regi ment, and— Dick (cheerfully interrupting!: Lucky beggar! Seeing the world while we all vegetate at home. Letty (faltering): And—Dick—he pays he hates going back. He doesn’t wish to go alone. Hatherly (struck with sudden com punction): I say, Letty, what a thoughtless brute I am not to have given you some tea. Just touch the bell, will you? Letty. No tea, thanks. I really couldn’t drink it. Dick, he feels aw ful at leaving—everybody—and grand mama keeps getting worse and worse, and— Hatherly (painting away vigorously): She’s an unmitigated old wretch.

But to return to what we were saying— Hatherly; Letty, just baud mo that liand-mirror, will you? It’s on the table beside you. Ah, thank you. Letty (continuing, doggedly and huskily): So he said he’d come this evening—for his answer. (Dick, staring fixedly at the reflec tion of his picture ia the hand-mirror, makes no reply. Letty waits in breath less silence. Hatherly (speaking suddenly): Do come here, Letty, and say if you like that, or is it too strong? Lottie (rising): It is strong and de cided, like yourself aud all men, Dick. It is only we women who are weak and irresolute. Good-bye. No, don’t come downstairs; I can seo myself out. Good-bye. Hatherly (relieved) Well, if you must go, good-bye. Come again soon, like a good girl, when I have more time to spare. And don’t let the old lady bully you too much. Ta-ta.

Hail-Storm Prevention. ’ United States Consul Sephar, at An naberg, Austria, reports to the State Department an interesting and success ful experiment of a grape-grower in that country in warding off the destruc tive hail-storms that visited his vine yard. At first he tried galvanized wire netting, but this was too expensive, and he decided to install a battery and test the plan of causing explosions to drive off the hail-storms. He erected six stations on prominent mountain summits, commanding a territory of about two miles in extent. The prac tical test is thus described: “Threatening black clouds made their appearance on the summits of the Bncher Mountains. At a given signal all the mortars were fired off and the continuous detonations in a few mo ments caused a sudden reaction in the movements of the clouds. The cloud wall suddenly opened up funnel like; the mouth of the funnel began to rise in the form of consecutive rings, ex panding gradually until all the clouds scattered and entirely disappeared. No hail nor even a sudden downpour of rain fell. The same experience was gone through with six times last sum mer, and has without a single excep tion proven a successful preventive.” Looking Out for Herself. Here is an instructive story and one quite new about Queen Victoria. It was suggested to her the other day that Queen Anne’s statue, opposite St- Paul’s, should be removed for the jubilee thanksgiving service, in order that the view might not he obstructed. When this proposal was submitted to Her Majesty she refused to sanction it. “I am not willing to allow the statue to be displaced,” the Queen is said to have remarked. “If I permit it some one may consider it a justification for removing my statue some day on a similar occasion.” Women Easier to Digest. A member of the Ethnographical So ciety in Paris has made a public argu ment in favor of cannibalism, from a hygienic point of view, and proves his case by the fact that those savages who eat each other are stronger and more virile than those who do not. Further, this scientist affirms that "women are more nutritions and digestible than men!”—New York Pr6*s. INJUN’S HEART GETS BAD CAUSES OF THE USUAL YEARLY OUTBREAKS IN THE WEST. The Ghost and War Dances Potent Causes of the Red Men’s Uprising—While Smoking the Pipe of Fellowship In dian Orators Arouse the Warlike Spirit. It is the custom, upon the occasion of each Indian uprising at any of the Western agencies, to assign some special cause, differing according to the circumstances, for the outbreak. In the case of the Cheyennes, who l}ave been making trouble at the Tonguo Kiver Agency in Montana, it is said that the disturbance originated in the murder of a sheep herder by the Indians because they feared that he would inform against them for A GROUP OF SIOUX GHOST DANCERS. cattle stealing. There can usually be found, of course, some incident upon which to fasten the outbreak, but the real cause of the Indian troubles lies deeper than this. At certain times, as the red man himself says, “Injun’s heart gets bad.” Very often, declares the New York Tribune, this occurs in the spring, when the fresh, new grass has put the ponies into perfect condition and when the mild weather has caused the ponies’ masters to shake off their winter lethargy. Then the aforesad “bad” feeling manifests itself, and the In dians desire nothing so much as to go LOW DOG. (A Sioux with a very bad record.) forth and kill. The killing of human beings would be preferable, as furnish ing more excitement, but hunting, if it is good enough, offers a substitute which may be accepted. Thus, as long as the buffaloes lasted they pro vided a means of outlet for the Indian’s surplus destructive energy, but now this resource has disappeared and there is no other legitimate hunting to compare with it. So, when tho coun cils and the dances have aroused every particle of warlike spirit in the hearts of the young braves, what more nat ural than that it should be found easy to pick quarrels, and that the thirst for the white man's blood, once ac WHITE BULL. (A Cheyenne leader prominent in the recent disturbances.) quired, should often take a long time to quench? The ghost dances and the war dances held in the spring are always more effective than those at other times pf the year. The Indians are pleased at the though; of being able to hold them out of doors again, after the close con finement which the cold of & Dakota or Montana winter enforces. An extra amount of vigor is infused into the savage and grotesque contortions of the dancers, and the spectators gaze as if they could not see enough of these movements, which are suggestive to them of the highest type of valiant daring. But it is perhaps after the dance is ended, when the warriors are seated around in a circle on the ground, that the fightiDg desire is worked up most surely and powerfully among them. The pipe of good followship is first passed in silence, each Indian taking only two or three puffs, and then hand ing it on to his next neighbor. Just here it is interesting to note that the red man does not smoke after the man ner of his white brother. In the whole circuit which the pipe makes its mouth- piece is never wet. The Indian merely lays the end of the stem against his lower lip and, with his mouth partly open, draws a deep breath. Bemov ing the pipe, he exhales this smoke, and then perhaps lays the stem to his lip for a second puff, but never does he put the mouthpiece into his month, in the common white man’s fashion. If asked to smoke a peace-pipe after a white man he first wipes off the end of the pipestem where it has been in the pre vious smoker’s mouth. To return to the circle which is formed after the dance, the smoking, as was said, takes place in silence. Then some noted warrior of the band rises and strides into the centre of the group. When he has fixed the atten tion of all, he begins to recite the brave deeds which he has accomplished in war, illustrating his remarks with a most picturesque variety of gestures, and certainly allowing his story to lose nothing in the telling. As he talks, the eyes of the young braves glow, and their features work with excitement aud a desire to emulate such achieve ments. The fact that the Indian habitually represses his emotions need lead no one to doubt their strength, aud the amount of pent-up energy which is expressed in the attitudes of these young braves is enough to make the civilized spectator shudder as he thinks of the savage expression it might find. At the conclusion of the speaking af ter all the famous men of the band have recited similar experiences to those of the first orator, the excitement is intense. Then it is, and sometimes for many days afterward, that the Indians are to be dreaded, for they are ready to seize upon almost any pretext to pick a quarrel with the whites. It is the opinion of many people experienced in Indian affairs that nearly all of the difficulties arise from this uncontrollable lighting' ardor of the youug men of the tribes. They have heard their fathers tell so often the glories of killing the white men twenty years ago, at the time of the Custer massacre and other noted fights, that they feel as if they must also achieve something of the sort or for feit a reputation for bravery. An Indian face which is the very type of cruelty and cunning is that of the Sioux Low Dog, here reproduced. His nature does not belie bis name, either, for he committed, several years ago, a particularly horrible murder upon a United States mail carrier. The unfortunate man was going to Fort Buford, on the line between North Dakota and Montana, and near the junction of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers, when Low Dog at tacked him. Not content with plun der and the mere killing, the savage Sioux resorted to the most dreadful speoies of Indian torture, and his vic tim, though still breathing when found, was mutilated and his flesh was burning in several places. Owing to a not uncommon conflict between the civil and military authorities, Low Dog was never brought to punishment. A United Btates Marshal came down from Helena with a warrant for the murderer’s arrest, but as the offloer commanding at the reservation re garded this as au infringement upon the military rights, nothing could be accomplished. Low Dog is now living at one of the agencies in Montana, and has rather subsided since this conspicuous achievement in his career. Such a deadlock as the foregoing, between the Army and the State officers seems diineult to avoid, judging by the fre quency with which it has occurred. White Bull, whose portrait is like wise given, is a well-known leader. It was his band, numbering 125, that es caped from the Tongue Kiver Agency and betook themselves to the hills on the Tongue Biver, near Ashland. There are many points of similarity between the Cheyennes and Sioux, and they have not infrequently joined on the warpath. It is often stated that the Indians w'ho took part in the battle of tbo Little Big Horn were all Sioux, but it has been proved that they were assisted by a considerable band of Cheyennes. MOVING A BIG CHIMNEY. ’Tall Structure Conveyed Nearly 1000 Fce( Over Rough Roads. There are two ways of moving a chimney. One way, and that usually followed, is to tear it down carefully and rebuild it in the desired place. This utilizes only the brick and means a great deal of labor. The other method of moving a chimney is to handle it much as a bouse would be bandied and to move it bodily and without tearing it down, by putting it on skids. This latter method was followed by a firm of contractors of Binghampton, N. Y., iu moving a chimney for the Manhanset Improvement Company at Manhansett, N. Y. The chimney is eighty-five feet high and seven feet square at the base. It weighs nearly one hundred tons, aud yet it was moved a distance of 950 feet over rough roads and up and down steep grades without injury or accident. TALL CHIMNEY SUCCESSFULLY MOVED 950 FEET. But six men were required to do the work. One horse attached to a wind lass furnished the needed power. The accompanying picture, from a photograph reproduced in the Scien tific American, shows the style of braces used and the sort of sled on which the chimney was moved. The skids were well greased on the bottom, and the rate of progress was so fast that but nine days elapsed from the time work was begun until the chimney was securely located in its new foundation. A Cliurcli’s Historic Memorial. The old Dutch Reformed Church, on Norfolk street, near Stanton, in the very heart of the packed tenement district of the lower East Side of New York, is to be destroyed, and a dwell ing house is to be erected in its place. In the last century two of the church’s mo3t prominent members were John Jacob Astor, the founder of the Astor family, and the famous Baron Steuben. In the vestibule of the church, set into the wall, is a tall mar ble memorial, on which is inscribed the following: Sacred to the memory of Frecl'k Will’m Aug's Baron Steuben, a German, Knight of the Order of Fidelity, Aid-de-Camp to Frederick the Great, King of Prussia; Major-General and Inspector-General in the Revolutionary War. Esteemed, respected and supported by Washington, he gave Military ‘skill and Discipline to the Citizen Soldiers who (fulfilling the Decrees of Heaven) Achieved the Independence of tho United States. Tho highly polished manners of the Baron were graced by the most noble feelings of the heart. His hand, “open as day for melting charity,” closed only in the strong grasp of death. ThisgSlemorial is inscribed by an American who bad the honor to be his aid-de-camp, and the happiness to be bis friend. Obit., 1795. This memorial is eight feet in height and tapers to a point, just below which is a crown, surmounting a shield. Lower there is a Greek cross, w ithin which is the word “Fideli'tas. ” Bag Carts in Street Cleaning. Kansas City will adopt another of Colonel Wariug’s New York ideas in street cleaning. Along with the white brigade and clean streets, the Street Department will have hag carts to be used by the street sweepers. Bag carts are something new' in the West. They are little two-wheeled push cart# arranged to hold a large jute bag. The street cleaner deposits sweepings in the bag as dirt is gathered from the pavement, and when the bag is filled ties it up and lays it on the curb to be hauled away and emptied. Each cart is provided with half a dozen bags. They answer the purpose better than the little dump carts, doing away with dust and facilitating the cleaning work. —Kansas City Star.

Blue and white pique are united in the jaunty little suit depicted in the large illustration, that is neatly deco rated w'ith braid. The pattern, says May Manton, provides for a plain body lining that is simply shaped by shoul der and under-arm seams, the closing of which is effected at the centre-back with buttons and buttonholes. To the lower edge of the body-lining the full gathered skirt is joined. The blouse is also adjusted by means of shoulder and under-arm seams, and closes in front, the neck being cut away to ex pose the shield of white pique. The handsome broad sailor collar displays stylish pointed revers in front, from under which a sailor-tie knot falls. Elastic is drawn through the hem that finishes the lower edge of the blouse, to adjust the fulness at the waistline. The bishop sleeves are of moderate width, and are gathered top and bot tom, round cuffs finishing the wrists. The skirt has a straight lower edge, showing a neat decoration, consisting of a band of white pique headed by bows of braid. A close standing band finishes the neck.

Scarlet canvas weave combined with white doth and black braid is exceed ingly effective. To make this costume for a girl of ten years will require five and one-half yards of thirty-six-ineh material. Shoes for Hummer Sauntering;!}. Hotel piazzas bid fair to take on an even gayer air than ever this summer in view of the astonishing styles in new shoes. The feet that peep out from beneath flounced gowns and silken petticoats arc themselves incased in the liveliest of coverings. The models after which the new hoots and slip pers are patterned are for the most part French. High heels, according to these new models, have not disappeared. They are even higher and Frenchier than ever. Toes, however are less pointed. The toothpick variety has passed quite out of date aud the new toes are per ceptibly wider and rounded. One particularly dainty piazza slip per for morning wear is of ox-blood ooze leather. It is cut very low aud is fastened over the instep by a series of satin straps. Even prettier is a smart little slipper with a front part of plaided silk and the back of patent leather. For evening wear there are slippers with French heels and highly orna mented toes. Most of these are of plain colors of satin embroidered in real or mock gems. High boots are of plaided or striped leather, laeod or strapped at the front.—New York World.
