The first of Byron's letters which Moore prints was written to Miss Pigot Byron, wnom she , describes as 'a fat, bashful boy,' was 'perfectly at home' with her, and of an evening would listen to her playing and sing with her. In 1805 Byron left Southwell for Cambridge, but paid Miss Pigot occasional visits until 1807, and regularly corresponded, with her till 1811.

The "opening was given to the sugar importers, whose views were voiced by Mr. John Far r, of New York, who said at a recent meet ing of sugar importers of that city it was unanimously decided that an ad valorem rate of duty was unfair, unre liable and exceedingly difficult in prac tice ; that one cent a pound should be imposed on all sugar below 78 degrees poiarltcope, and that additional dis criminating duties should be levied on all sugars. coming front bounty paying countries.- The beet sugar interest was represented lb?

The PenlUr Fashion In Which He Showed His Faithfulness Always Acted Am U ' Hla Wife Wa StUl With Him The Pa ; thetlc Story Told by a Hotel Clerk.' . The Sun reporter was leaning in a graceful attitude against the counter of an up town hotel office, conversing in un insouciant ana xtoncnaiant manner. witn tne naugnty and imperious clerk, as reporters always do,, when a nice looking old gentleman, with just enough provincialism in his appearance to show that he was not a New Yorker, though he might have come from, Philadelphia or any other rural district, came up to the register as if he- had been there be-; fore and wrote his name and address. In a few minutes the clerk had sent him off to his room with a bellboy and resumed his conversation. 1 , w 'Qneer old chap," he said, nodding in the direction of the departing guest The reporter whirled , the register around to look at the name. ' ' " res?", he replied questioningly. "I see that he has signed himself and, wife. Where's the wife? In the ladies' parlor?" "That's the queer part of it, " contin- ' ned the clerk, with an evident purpose of telling a story, and the reporter be came interested. ."There isn't any wife He's a widower, and has been for 15 years, but he has been signing it that way for the ten years I have known him.' He is nowO, and was married at 40, and the romance is ' as pretty as it is pathetic. " j" , : ' "" 7 - ., "And unusual, " ventured the report er, "if he is faithful to the memory of one woman, and that woman his wife. Widowers are not all so." ; ' r "That is why this one's story is the more interesting. Let me tell you. At 25 he was a poor young clerk in a west ern town and was romantically , and' deeply in loyo with a pretty girl of 20. It may be said that, she was in love with him, too, but he had -queer no tions, and as they were both poor, and a rich man was anxious tq -marry the girl, he never told his love, but let con cealment, like a worm iii the bud, feed on his damask cheek, as it were, and he pined in thought and with' a green and yellow melancholy fat, like patience on a monument, while the other man mar ried her. , 'At 84 she was a widow and poor, for her husband had dissipated his for tune, arid our friend here, still a bach elor and as much in love as ever, was a successful merchant. This time he was braver, for he was possessed of the sin ews of war, and within', a year's time he had married her It was rather hasty on her part, possibly, but he had wait ed long enough and, was so importunate tbtt she compromised with him on one fear instead of the regulation two of fridowhood. They, came to this hotel J11 their wedding -tour and were here wo weeks, and one of ! the proprietors of the hotel informs me that he never has seen a couple more suited to; each other and better satisfied with each oth er. After that he came to the city in the spring and autumn to buy goods, and she always accompanied him, and they seemed to be no f drther away from the honeymoon season with each irecurring year. 'At last, after the fifth spring trip, he did not come, but his manager did. and he said that the wife had died and the husband's mind, was affected, though they hoped he would come around all right in time. , In fhe following spring he came again, but he w'as-not the same man any more.. Sis mind was clear on all business matter but he-was 'queer' about his wife, and a sadder faced man anywhere. The old clerk, who had been at the counter on his previous visits, Was1 there when he came again, and after greeting him the register around pleasantly turned for him to sign it al, and when the He responded as usu- clerk looked at the name it was followed as before by 'and wife, ' as- he had been accustomed to sign it The clerld was about to call his attention to it, but a second thought prompted him not to' notice it, and he sent the guest tq the bridal chamber' the room he and his wife alwaysoccu pied, as they did on their first visit ' "During his stay of a week he had very little to say, ! and if ''any reference was made to his wife he responded as if she were still alive and was with him at the boteLAt the table, too, hei had a place , for her, !and her meals were served' as if she bad been there to eat them. When he 'Was ready to go and came for his bill jit was made ouT"as usual, and he paid for two people with out comment Ten years ago, when I came into ,the office, I received my. in structions concerning our peculiar guest and have since my first meeting him acted with him exactly as if he were ac companied by his jwife. ! I have learned that he follows the same course in all that he does ih any way connected with her. He buys" two railroad tickets; two theater tickets, two places in any con veyance, two everything, where she might have gone with him, and on trips where she would hot have accompanied him in life, such as short trips from his town or to affairs of any kind where it was probable she vould not have cared to go, he provides only for himself. He seems to understand what she would be doing all these years and acts accord ingly. You noticed him sign that regis ter and go off up stairs?" concluded the clerk. "Well., he does all the rest in the same confident way; just as if she were with him and , his first consideration was for her." '"Yon may not he a poet " said the reporter, "but' the story you tell is a poem that all men! should learn and cherish in their) hearts. "--New York $nn. ; ,,. i :..:r- .!: Wood Barks, i The French Institute of Science has had under discussion the chemistry of barks possessing an industrial value. It is shown that the gums and cements which hold together the filaments of fiber are composed essentially of pentose, cutose and vasculose, while-' the 'fiber itself is composed of fibrose, cellulose and its derivatives the theory, therefore, of degumming or retting being to dissolve and wash out the gums without attack ing the cellulose; while, in order to eliminate the vasculose and cutose, al kaline oieates or caustio alkalies under pressure are found to be necessary, and even bisulphites and hydrochlorites.' The gums being thus dissolved, the epi dermis is detached and can be separated mechanically from the layer of fiber by washing. An important point involved is that upon the degree6f cleanness of the fiber must depend the expense of this degumming operation. In the construc tion of machines for this purpose it has. been assumed that there is but little dif ference whether the ribbon' to be operated upon is Simply sbripped bark or a well -decorticated product, as the revolving agency, followed by a volume of water, may be depended upon to render the Sep aration complete and to wash out all ex traneous matters, giving the pure fiberV The quantity that may be turned on in a given time; rather . tharr quantity With quality, has been the main consid eration. The waste matters in the bark -of ramie stalks must be wholly elimir pated before the. fiber is fit for the spin ner, and if the machine does not ac complish any part of this iwork, the de gumming bath must do- it all, but at a cost in direct ratio to the percentage of waste matters remaining in the ribbons after leaving the m aching ' Gladness Comes With a Jbettei. understanding of tho transient nature of the many phys ical ills, whieh vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasanteiforts rightly directed.
