She remembered in a spasm of re
trospection how glad M iry had been
when Tola hail told her of their en

"I always believed in you. I know
you will make my brother happy."
Well, she supposed she would never
talk with Mary ugiiu in that oozy up
stairs room, with the alcove lit tod up
studio-like, and its cool chintz hang
ings und wide, softly cushioned win
dow H.-ftts, whero she had told Mary
between huiu'liter and tears how very
happy sht was, and what a noblu wo
man sho intended to beeouio for
Tom's sake.
Sho w fioeleil sh n ply and ran dow n

had departed. Tom's opposition had
but given an impetus to her uuihitinu.
It was an incentive to lure h ;r on.
Now that it was withdraw 11, the covet

She felt a horrible convulsion lug

Honor had draw n a veil over her

vision. She turned up the collar of

ridiculously happy she had looked
since her engagement to ick Taylor.
"Ah, well, girls like that wero al

self. "It is tho shallow at ream which

Tom said there was a standing juke

asking him if it was on uc

that she made them all so tired. Tola
could bear any amount of levity.

the gas light in tho street, and sho
saw him plungo deliberately into the

Tt would be interesting, thinks
Waiter IJesnnt, if we could get the
statistics of voluntary nnd unpaid
work. I once investigated the statis
tics of a single parish, nnd that a very
poor one. I found ovir 100 persons
who gave their work for nothing to
the parish. Tn fact, there ore thou
sands and tens of thousands on whom
the churches can now reckon for vol
untary work. This unpaid work is

Telephoning Through Spa Water,
The success that has attended tho
recent attempts in Fust la ml to estali
l s;i a system of telephonic communi
cation without wires between ships at
a distance from each other, serves to
recall the fact that about two years
ago an Amerieuu inventor, Dr. Krnest
Huber. secured the assistance of tho
United States government in the pro
jection of u series of experiments in
de p seii telephoning. For some rea
son the experiments wa ro not made,
but th device promised well. The
sound waves passing through tho wa
ter caused metal strips to vibrate, and
the vibrations were transmitted by
wires to microphones, which greatly
intensified tiieni. An indicator show
ed the intensity of the sound,, uud
gave an idea id' the distance of tho
object causing thiiu. Tin- direction
w h 'liee the sound came could also bo
determined. The sounds within tho
ship were eliminated, mid only ex
traneous uolscs were recorded. Sound
waves could be throw 11 out in all di
rections by the ringing of an electric
bell, aud being reflected i tidieated ice
bergs, subiiietgi d wrecks or other ob
structions even ten miles away. New

experience. We have theletore a
most satisfactory precedent upon tint
one vital point at which we must de

executive council or cabinet hold for
three years instead of four; the Swiss
ministers possess the rn-Jit to sit in
either hoiie, to initiate legislation
and o lebate, without the right to
vote; and when the vote upon meas
ures proposed by them Is a Iverse,
they remain in othce n it il the end ol
