Near a small village in one of the lake states lived a western millionaire In seclusion with his little daughter and a few servants. The child was af ! flteted with a rare cerebro spinal complaint. a most unpleasant manlfesta ' tlon of which was a frequent hlc- I cough, and eminent physicians, both In America and Europe, bad pronounced the case organic and incurable.

A LIVE COAL TRICK. Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All the Appearance of Magic. No one would suppose that It is possible to hold a glowing coal on a piece of linen or cotton without burning the cloth, but that such can be done Is easy for any one to prove, and at the same time the experiment teaches an Important natural law. Every child knows that the telephone and telegraph w Ires arc made of copper because that metal is a good conductor of heat and electricity, whidi is only another form of heat. If a poker Is heated In tha Are you idck up a (loth to hold the outer end, although it has not been In the fire, because experience bas taught you that tlie beat Is <onnected through the metal from the Arc to the outer end. This experiment with the flaming coal is based upon this principle and the additional one that linen and cotton are poor conductors of heat Take a globe of copper and draw a piece of clolb tightly over It so that there Is not a wrinkle at the top. If the linen or cotton Is closely woven the trick Is all the more certain. Thel. holding the cloth tightly In you can safely put a glowing coal on top of the cloth, and, while It bums fiercely, the cloth will not even be scorched. The reason Is that the great conductivity of t be copper dn if the coal before it can burn the cloth. Do not make this experiment with a good handkerchief first, fur if the cloth is net tightiy drawn It may burn, but take some worthless piece of linen or muslin, and after you arc tertaln of your experience you can astonish your friends who do not know the secret.— Washington Dost DEADLY POISONS. One Whiff of Pure Prussic Acid Is Sufficient to Kill. The discoverer of prussic arid was Instantly killed by inhaling one whiff of his own handiwork. I’ure prussic acid Is never sold or handled. The smell of It Is always fatal. It kills not In three minutes or half au hour, hut the instant It enters the lungs as a gas. The mixture ordinarily sold as prussic acid Is 98 parts water to two parts of the drug. Even in this form It is very deadly. A :#J per cent mixture of the arid would kill nearly ns quickly us if pure. Atropine, though it has no harmful odor.

The Suicide Symphony. The Idea that music may be harmful that it can create a fever In the blood dangerous to life and reasonwill come as a revelation to many. Friedrich Nietzsche, the well known German philosopher, declares that there is something In some music, most notable In Wagner and Tschalkovvsky, which nets unfavorably on th(‘ brain and nerves of many people. Ts.-halkowsky’s baleful Influence eannot be denied. He destroyed himself after composing hls famous "Sixth Symphony,” and, as several have died by their own band after playing it, it lias come to be known ns the "suicide symphony.”

WPmotionai ^ Miss Tally.

[Copyright. 190S, by American Press Association.] I met Miss Tally In a boarding house. She was supposed to earn her own living, hut no one In the house knew her occupation. She usually went out about 0 o'clock in the morning and remained most of the day, but there was nothing regular either about her going or her staying. Sometimes she would remain in the house for several days at a time, and sometimes when she went out iu the morning would return before noon and not go out again. There was a good deal about Miss Tully that interested me. She was never for a long period In the same mood. One day she would be merry as a cricket, the next In the depths of despair. Then she would be subject to fits of anger, when no one cared to approach her Any sensible person may judge from this that Miss Tully was not likely to make a good wife, but I have noticed In young men a disposition to neglect the girls who are especially fitted to make homes com fortable for those who are so constituted as to make a husband's life a burden. At any rate, I became fascinated with Miss Tully’s moods. At our first meeting there was a girlish gladness about her that was simply delirious. A few days later she met me with an Imperious look on her face that well nigh froze the marrow in my bones. Tho next week my pity was excited by a melancholy that was no less becoming than her sprightliness or her regal dignity. It was not long before I was madly In love. But, realizing the folly of making a life partner of a girl who was not only changeable as the wind, but whom I knew nothing about—indeed, whose mode of support was a mystery 1 fought against my passion. All to no purpose. I was caught In a mesh and unable to extricate myself. One evening Miss Tully aud I were sitting in the drawing room—the boarders, seeing my infatuation, had by this time come to give up the apartment to us—side by side ou a sofa. It was lu the spring of the year, aud Miss Tully was like the season, light hearted, exuberant lu spirits and, It seemed to me, willing to listen to love’s young dream. Little by little I turned my words upon that dream, which by this time had enthralled me. Miss Tully saw my drift and seemed to yield to a pleased lan guor, listening eagerly to what I said. I poured iuto her ear all a lover could say, leading up to a proposal, when she stopped me and said ecstatically: "Say It all again.” I confess I was puzzled iudeed, a trifle put out. To repeat my glowing words was not to my mind. Fortunate^ ly my embarrassment was relieved by a maid entering with a note for Miss Tully. She opened and read it. From that moment she was changed. Her light heartedness disappeared and with it her apparent interest In what I had been saying to her. Smarting under this sudden Indifference. I left her. The next evening at dinner I noticed that Miss Tully appeared to have something on her mind of an exasperating nature. Her teeth were set, and her eyes were tilled with flashes, coming at long Intervals, like heat lightning on a summer uight. After dinner I was going up to my room wheu she passed me In the hall, gave me a glance 1 did not understand and went into the drawing room. 1 followed. We were alone there, and, turning on me like a fury, she began to accuse me of some unexpressed crime, working herself Into a very demon. In vain I begged her to tell me what I had done. Without heeding me she talked on, or, rather, stormed on, till at Inst, seeing no prospect of an end to what was like a storm swaying to the east, to the west, anywhere, everywhere in accordance with Its unbridled passion, I left the room. The next morning I made an effort to escape from this mad creature. I took an early train. For a week I remained away, then, professing to myself to feel confident of my ability to resist the fascination, returned to the house and Miss Tully. At our first meeting I saw upon her face the most engaging sadness. She gave me a reproachful look, which I took to express pain that I had kept away from her. I longed to take her In my arms; but, with a muffled moan, she went up to her room. I saw nothing of her for a week. Then she was plain Miss Tully, neither happy oor miserable uor angry. She gave me a smile, put out her hand to me and, Intimating that she had something to say to me, led the way into the drawing room. “I owe . von «n explanation," she said, and I am going to reveal to you that which no one else in this house knows. I am an artists model. I never pose however, except in proper clothing and onlj for artists who wish to catch an expression of some one of the passions 1 hey have found me very versatile In this respect, aud I have been successful. I he secret of my success Is that I can at any time work myself Into any required mood, and this gives the artist the expression which comes from the model really feeling what Is expressed. Indeed, it can be expressed lu no other way. When you began to talk to me the other oveulug 1 was prepur Ing myself to sit for a bride. While you were talking I received a note that the artist would Instead work on a pic ture representing a tragedy. On vour return I was to pose for Mary Magdalene.” I won Miss Tully fur my wife, but 1 have never quite forgiven her for Utilizing my lovemuklng professionally. BEVELLY WORTHINGTON.
