Marion A. T. Farley, in Observer. . The Proof of the Padding is in the Eating. BY WILLIAM B. M'YICKAR. Jane Waring (a spinster of twenty -seven year.-). John Gray (a bachelor of thirty old). Scene An old-fashioned cottage veran dah, with flowering honeysuckle vines trained over a trellis, and a flight of steps to the ground. Miss "Waring, in a light sum mer muslin frock, discaverei "mending," with a large basket of work standing on a small wicker table by her side. A Leghorn shade hat hangs on a peg behind her. To her enters John Gray, clad in riding coat, breeches and boots. jRAY (with one foot jon the steps leading jto the verandah) iGood morning, Miss Waring! Miss Waring(with- out rising, or look ing up from her work) Good morn ing, Mr. Gray I Ilave you been riding? Gray (still standing with one foot on the steps, and flicking the other boot with his crop) Yes; I just rode over from Woodlands. 3Iiss Waring (still very busy with her work) Dear me I that's quite a ride, is it not? Gray A matter of ten miles or so. Miss Waring And how did you come to ride in this direction? Gray (gallantly) You live "in this direction." Miss WariDg True; but I live here always. Gray And I ride in it as often as I dare. (Miss Waring is very much oc cupied in threading her needle.) May I sit down? Miss Waring -Of course! (Gray seats himself on steps.) I do not believe that you can guess what I have been doing this morning. Gray Let me sec. (Gazes about, and catches sight of the Leghorn hat.) Let me see you arose with the lark that is the way girls used to do in old fashioned books, you know; and you impress rr,e as being distinctly old fashioned you arose with the lark, then. (Miss Waring shakes her head.) No? Well,thatis immaterial you didn't arise with the lark; but, after toy ing playfully with a light and delicate breakfast what 1 "No" again? Why, this will never do ! after a heavy meal you put on your sunbonnet and gaunt lets, liung a big flat basket over your arm, and sallied forth into the garden to pluck flowers the prettiest flower of them all. Miss Waring (ignoring the compli ment) No; nothing half so romantic. Gray My imagination is limited. Don't make me guess again. Miss Waring I went down into the kitchen and made a pudding, which is being boiled this very minute. Gray I don't believe it. Miss Waring I assure you Gray You may "assure'' me for a week, nd I won't believe it. Miss Waring How can I prove it, then? Gray Prove (then with a happy thought.) Why, "the proof of a pud ding is in the eating!" Miss Waring Does that meau you ex pect an invitation to dine? ;-. Gray Yes. Miss Waring Well, I never heard of such a shameless way of begging an in vitation! Gray Does that mean that I have got it? Miss Waring Most certainly not. Mother has gone to New York, and will not be back until after dinner. Gray Does that make any difference I Miss Wcring Why, of course it makes a difference ! We could not dine here together alone. Gray But Miss Waring I will not have any dis cussion on the subject. Gray But why not? Why not dis cuss the whole subject of conventional isms, and find out, if possible, why it should be perfectly proper for me to sit here and talk with you all alone, or to go off and walk with you all alone in the jroods; ana yet it should be so very im proper for me to dine with you, con structively, alone, but with your servants continually in the room. Miss Waring No; I will not discuss it. The subject would assume entirely too personal a tone at the present mo ment. Borne other time, perhaps; but not now. GrayThen I am not to be invited to dinner! Miss Waring No I Gray What am I to do? It's too late to go back to Woodlands. Miss Waring (smiling) I might send you out a slice of pudding. Gray Did you really make a pud ding? Miss Waring I really did. Gray What a nice little housewife you would mike! (Miss Waring be comes intensely occupied in a most com plicated piece of darning. Gray suddenly notices the nature of her wcrk). Darn ing, too, by Jove! What a treasure you will be to somebody, Miss Waring 1 Miss Waring (with a slight contraction of the eyebrows) Don't you think the conversation is becoming very personal? Gray Yes. Miss Waring .Then don't you think we had better change the subject? Gray On the contrary I find the sub ject most interesting. Miss Waring You are incorrigible. Gray Then why try to correct me? Why not let me tell you what I think it you. Miss Waring (resignedly) If it give you any pleasure. Gray Why not let me tell you that I think you true, honest, and, as I said before, old-fashioned? That I believe you to be careful, industrious and a good manager? in short, everything that the copy-books say a woman should be? And, notwithstanding that you possess all those virtues which are ordi narily stigmatized as unattractive, that I find you charming? Why not let me tell you that that I love you? Miss Waring Mr. Gray! (She drops her work into her lap and gazes at him half -frightened, half-plea3ed and wholly astonished.) Gray (who is looking at the toe of his boot, which he flicks with his crop, while he adds deliberately) Yes, that I love you. iliss Waring (looking more astonished and slightly amused) Are you quite sure about it ! Gray (innocently) Quite sure (then looking up and noting her mocked ex pression) you don't believe me ! Miss Waring Hardly I Gray Why why you must believo me! I do love you! Indeed, indeed I do! Oh, tell ma how I eve! re it! (Miss Waring slightly shru1; , J.ahoul ders.) Have I not ridden over here on an average of twice a week for the last three months? Miss Waring Yes. Gray Have I not staid and staid and staid? Miss Waring Yes. Gray Have I not beer unconscion ably dull? Miss Waring (with eathusissm) Oh, yes! Gray Well? Miss Waring And Is that your idea of love? To ride over to see th3 beloved object whenever thero i3 nowaare elsoto go. Then to hang about the place uaiil it is time to go home, in a lazy 3ctof way, talking when you are so incline V and more often not opening your lips for half-hours together, Sometimes that kind of behavior might not be altogether objectionable in a friend, but is hardly the sort of thing that I should expect from my lover. Gray (doggedly, as he rises) Evi dently I do not know how to show it; but I love you more than anything else in the world. Won't you believe me? Miss Waring (looks at him more kind ly; then, with a gleam of mischief in her eye, as she also rise3 as if to bid him good-by) "The proof of tho pudding, Mr. Gray, is in Gray Tho eatins!" (It would be quite impossible, in a stage direction, to explain how it all happened ; but, as he had finished the proverb, John Gray hold Jane Waring in his arms, and the latter was submitting to being kissed by him us if she had been accustomed to nothing else from her childhood up.) Puck. Hunting Wolves With Hounds. A correspondent of tho Toronto (Can k ada) Globe, writing of the ranching coun try of the Northwest Territory, says: There is a certain annual loss of calves and colts from wolves. There are two kinds of these cattle lifter, the timber wolf and the coyote, of different habits but of precisely similar gastronomic tastes. The coyote usually hunts singly; the timber wolf, a larger and more form idable animal, is fond of society. They hang about the vicinity of cattle and at tack calves or colts that have strayed a little distance or have been left behind by the band. There is no virtue in them while alive. Dead wolves are of value, as well for their skins as for the satisfac tion and encouragement which they afford the rancher. They are therefore much hunted, and various breeds of dogs have been imported for their benefit. But they are fast, cunning, and stay well, and, having killed an anim-il and, with their friends, dined on him, they do not return to sup on him, but look elsewhere. It is not therefore, so easy to find them. They post themselves on convenient eminences and ieave for parts unknown directly they observe a cowboy and dogs, no matter how far off he may be. They have no use fpr man. The timber wolves are very powerful animals, and when run by Scotch deer hounds either get into some smill brush or seek a convenient place to turn at bay. The Scotch deer-ho-md then declines to hold closer converse with a stranger to whom he has not been introduced. The boar-hund, on the contrary, at once seeks to thoroughly investigate his new acquaintance, but he is a slow animal, for whose arrival the woli can only be induced to wait by pressing attention on the part of the other dogs. Ranchers are now crossing several breeds of hounds to obtain speed coupled with power. They have even tried crossing with wolves. The new animal cheerfully hunts his vulpine kindred, but is not fast enough. Packs of hounds, more or lc3s of foxhound relationship, for a dog's parentage is not always accurately de termined, have been tried in Alberta, but it is found that when tired of run ning the wolf lays dowu, opens his mouth and invites some one to come on. This invitation is only accepted when the wolf's attention can be engaged by a man, or otherwise, in one direction, so that the hounds can run in on him in the rear. Then no room is lett for com plaint. A great many are killed in one way or another, but the cowboys say they are increasing in number. Wonderful Work of a Watch' Have you any idea of the extraordi nary amount of work performed by your watch during the short period of one year, 365 days? Let us figure a little. The balance gives five vibrations every second, 300 every minute, 18,000 every hour, 432,000 every day, and 147, 630, 000 during the year I At each rotation it rotates about one and a quarter time3, or, say about 197,100,000 revolutions a year. In order to better understand the immense amount of labor performed by these delicate little wheeU and springs let us go still further with our calcula tions. Take a locomotive with big six foot drive wheels as an illustration. Let the stupendous machine be run until it3 great wheels have made as many revolu tions as the wheels of the watch make during the year, and you will find that tiengine has had to make twenty r'igft. complete circuits of the earth be fore i has equalei the watch in point of wb'.tlTevolutions. George Francis Train and Hi53 Blsland would be slow coache3 when compared with such rapid travel ers. St. Louis Republic. RAILROAD ON WATER AN ODD AFFAIR TO BE OPER ' AX1LD AT TUB FAIR. The Cars "Will Shoot Alonjr at a Spccit ot 125 Miles an It our A Unique Method ot Transportation. v WORK is being carried for ward rapidly on the Barrc Sliding Railway, a queer structure on Midway Piais ince, just outside the World's Fair Grounds, says the Chicago .Herald. The road runs along Sixtieth street from Cottage Grove avenue to the World's Fair Grounds. It is an elevated con cern, and what makes it interesting is the fact that the cars run or slide on wate. It is also interesting from tho fact that a terrific rate of speed can be at tained. In fact, one of the chief diffi culties in operating the road is to re duce the speed to a limit of safety. One hundred mile3 an hour is reached with out any trouble at all. Occasionally the cars shoot through space at the rate of 125 miles an hour. Already the trestle is finished at the lower end of the ground?, and piles are all driven leady for the superstructure, which will be put ou in a few weeks. The road will have a carrying capacity of 100,000 passengers a day. The sliding, or gliding, or skating, or hydraulic railway, as it has been vari ously called, i3 a beautiful illustration of one of the leading principles of hydro namics,cars being set in motion and kept going by the reaction from a horizontal stream of water ejected in tac direction of the train from its under portion into bucket racks beneath the carriages. It was exhibited to great profit at the Paris Exhibition, the Edinburgh Exposi tion, and at t'ae Crystal Palace, Syden ham, London, and attracted considera ble attention from engineers and the general public on each occasion. Chaun cey M. Depew rode on it ac the Paris Exposition, and was so pleased with its simple motive power and the ease with which it traved that he wrote a letter to President Palmer, in which he calls it "one of the most attractive and novel features of the Paris Exhibition." In regard to its application to more practical usages in everyday life, he says in the same letter: "Of course I know nothing of the availability of the invention for long lines and heavy traffic, but as far as the experiments went at the Exposition, I failed to discover in the examination I then made where the defect was, if any. It certainly would be a most interesting feature of our Exhibition if properly worked and constructed." Besides being moved by the force of water, the sliding railway travels on water. The wheels and axles of the or dinary car are replaced by slides, which glide on a thin film of water running along the rope of steel rails. The fric tion is thus reduced to a very small percentage, and a rate of speed may be obtained of over 100 mile3 an hour if necessary. The slides, cr skates, which support the railway are hollow, cast-iron boxc3, with no bottom, and a furrowed margin. A socket in the middle of the box re ceives the spindle which supports the carriage, and sufficient looseness of jointure is made to allow the train to travel around curves. The carriage ha3 the geutle motion of any body gliding ,on the surface of perfectly still water. The tender carries water under the re quisite pressure for supplying the slides, which are connected with the water tanks by pipes. When the water is admitted into the hollow part of the slide it naturally seeks to escape, but its exit is impeded by the furrows on the margin of the un der side of the slide, and the air is sim ultaneously compressed in the upper part. After a moment, this pressure be comes strong enough to lift the slide from tbe surface of the track, and the water, thus finding a meau3 of egre33, flows out equally from ail sides of the slide, distributing a thin layer over the top of the rails. The pressure of the air keeps the slide from ever touching the rails after the train is once started, and it thus moves along as smoothly as a fairy bark. The resistance in the motion of the train is so small that the tractive force of one pound weight is enough to move a ton. The pressure is maintained by engines located along the side3 of the road at intervals, and these constitute the principal expense of the road. It is claimed, however, . that the expense even then is not so great as that of a steam railway. The sliding railway doe3 not require ballasting, as in the case of the ordinary steam road. This is, of course, a great saving of expense, as tracks can be laid at a much smaller cost. The lightness-- of the train makes it possible for it to " travel on very light trestles, which aain presents an item of considerable econ omy. There is no concussion or jar of any kind in running the road, so that the comfort of the passengers is much increased. , One of the principal advantages of the sliding railroad is its perfect safety. A train ha3 never been known to jump the track, and the absence of wheels and axles reduces the likeliheod of accidents to very small percentages. If properly madaged, there is no excuse for casual ties, which, it must be admitted, is a great point gained, where hundreds of people are killed every year by steam railroads. There is not even the usual danger of delays, for, should a main pips burst, a self acting arrangement cuts oil tho communication with the propeller before and behind it, and the only inconveni ence is in repairing the broken pipe, the traffic no; being in the least interfered with. 1 With these advantages, and the fact; tha it will be an entire ncvelty in this, country, the road should prove an at tractive feature of the Fair, though rs' far as its usefulness in helping to solve1 the question of transportation is coa cerned it will not be worthy of consider ation. Those who ride on it probably will do so more for curiosity than for any other motive, as it does not extend a sufficient distance to warrant passen gers riding on it for convenience. The Wheel as a Sleep Pradussr. Dr. C. T. Hood is quoted by a Chicago paper a3 follows, m discussing the subject of insomnia: "One of the best remediei for insomnia is horseback riding, but not everybody can alford a good saddle horse or could even ride one. The best thing I have found productive of tho most beaefioial results ia reducing the passive cerebral hyperemia is bicyclo riding. It increases respiration and heart action, stimulates oxygination of the blood, and by the regular exercises and removal of the vcnou3 accumulation the torpid liver, the inactive bowels, kidneys and skin resume their normal action. "I have sent patients to the cycle-riding school and they have come back eaying it made them dizzy. They were drunk on oxygen and I made them keep at it until they overcame the queer in toxication. Properly used, I will eay that the bicycle is one of the efficient remedies of the times." Manufacture of Cod Livzr Oil. The process of manufacturing cod liver oil at Portugal Cove, Newfound land is as follows . It requires, a3 a rule, two and a half gallons of liver to pro duce a gallon of oil. The liver3 are first carefully washed, and must then bo cooked" at oncy. For this proces3 they are first put into a large tin boiler, , which is plunged into a large iron boiler filled with hot water, the water not being allowed to touch the liver3, which are thus gently steamed till a quantity of oil is floating on the surface. Thi3 n clipped out and filtered through bags of moleskin. The last filtration leaves tho oil perfectly transparent, and without any unpleasant taste or smell. The oil is ex ported in sixty gallon casks. Absolutely Pure. A cream of tartar baking powder. Highest of all in leavening strength. Latest U. S, Government Food Report.
