LOVERS' QUARRELS.

I What. is the matter, NedP said Roscoe Willis to bis favorite nephew, Ned Harrington, one morning, after the latter, a fine young fellow of tweatytwo, had been indulging in a fit of the I blues for several days. Now this same

Uncle Ro»coe was an (igreeable old man with a great deal of native ability, but somehow he seemed to lack ambition as he had never accomplished much in life. He was an old bachelor, broken down in health, who had come to end his days with the Harrington's and a strong bond of sympathy soon became established between the lonely, life-wrecked old man and his handsome nephew. So the latter answered the above question after an Instant's heal t/ition. •Oh, nothing, only the same old story, Uncle Ross. Henrietta and had a little lovers1 quarrel a few days ago. rind now our engagement seems in a fair way to come to an end forthwith." "Look out for these lovers' quarrels, Ned/' admonished his uncle, as a shade of wtdnoaa drifted across his face. They usually begin in almost nothing, but through pride and obstinacy they sometimes grow into a lifelong sorrow."

I know that, Uncle Ross, but Henrietta ought not to flirt with people to whom I seriously object, or even to flirt at all. And when I tell her my wishen »he. ought to observe them, oughtn't she?" 'Perhaps you did not tell her your wishes in just the manner you should have. Of course she ought not to reeelvo any marked attentions except from the man she intends to marry, but girls are oftontimes thoughtloss in this respect. It would not be at all strange if you assumed too much authority when you remonstrated with your sweetheart, and she would very naturally be offended if you did Tnke an old man's advice talk tho matter over candidly with hor at onoe, and see if you cannot straighten things out all right." "But, uncle Ross, I don't think could reasonably ho expected to go near her again, after what she said to me, unless she shows signs of relenting, and pretty marked ones, too. I never will, either I will die first," and a look of dogged determination settled upon his handsome feature. "Jt la the old story, Indeed. A little thoughtlessness to begin with, then a lovers' quarrel, and then pride and obstinacy step in and the "little rift within the lute" may be widened until it .becomes a vast chasm that all eternity enn not bridge. Don't let your proud stubbornnoss ruin your whole life and that of others, Ned—as I did." •Tell mo about it. undo RosV said Ned w»fily, but with a suppressed eajyoi'iioas in bis voice. ••I wn.s not always the useless old life-wreck that you know to-day. At your a,\'o I wjw us handsome, ambitious and full of life as you nit)yourself and •my future's skies gave abundant promise of joy and brightness to come. "I had an (fxeeUont situation and stood a good chance of being promoted and was engaged to Nellie Forsyth, the l.Hsst, prettiest and most talented girt for miles around. Hut alas! we were both thoughtless, high-spirited and proud. "Nellie deeply o(Tended me on several occasions by showing some pleasure in the society of one Dick Marston, a wild and dissipated young fellow whose father had recently died and left him a considerable fortune that he was then very busily engaged in squandering. Finally the climax came at an old-fn»hlouml corn-husking to which Nellie had accompanied me. "By accident or design Dick had taken a seat quite near Nellie, and he had been drinking just enough to make his language fluent and1sparkling. He had always had a sitting liking for her and an equally strong dislike for me so he naturally made the most of his opportunity, "As my would-be rival's flow ot brilliant small talk increased with the favorable manner in which it was recalved, my own decreased in a corresponding ratio till 1 bocame silent and moody. Naturally enough Nellie did not enjoy having me make us both a laughing-stock by my vary apparent aultennee* and anger so she soon turned away trom me and began a spirited controversy with the witty and volatile Ittdfe, Of course it was wrong ut now, when it Is too late, I roallsod galled her sensitive pride almost endurance.

I wa* furious, and I hi&ed in Nellie's ear that if she did not quit her shameless flirtation with the half-in-toxieafaed brut© at her elbow she might look elsewhere for an escort home, She cutUngly replied that even a halfintoxicated brute who tried hia beat to

be entertaining wa§ far prcferablo to a j*alou»~attd unreasonable one who wet

doing bis very best to be disagreeable, and that 1 might do just at 1 pleased. "Her answer drove me todesperation. left tho scene of merriment and confusion and went Immediately to the house where 1 was then hoard tag, leaving the girl loved better th:m life to get home again as beet she csould. •"Of COUPS** aha was bitterly offended my grossly unow •sooi treatiar of her. and the rueutt wa» what easily hare been foreseen.

Nellie tried to start a pleasant conversation with me just as if nothing had happened, but I froze as she softend and it was a sorry failure. At length to bring me to terms through my jealousy no doubt, she said: *Diek Marston proposed to me last night and if you have no objections I think I shall accept him.' 'I have not the slightest objections why should have9 said I *1 don't know—but—you once said something of the sort—yourself,' said Nellie, with a burning.,blush. 'I am not quite stteh a fool as I was then,' was the scorching rejoinder, which buret from my lips before I knew what I was saying. Again a crimson flush suffused her whole face, but this time it waa caused by a righteous anger and when it faded it left her as white as ashes. 'Her lovely lips compressed into a look of bitter and unchangeable determination as ehe abruptly turned away and left me. I could have torn my tongue out for its brutal and scathing rejoinder, but ray pride would not allow me to call her back, and I let her go without a word. In three weeks more she was Dick Marston^ wife. "As soon aa I heard of the marriage I resigned my position and left the state. I was gone for more than a year, but somehow I could not seem to do anything or be anybody. All of my old-time energy and ambition, and even my very love of life, seemed to have forsaken me. At length, when I could endure the absenco no longer, I returned to my native town. 'I had scarcely set foot in the village when I saw a poorly-dressed woman trying to Induce a drunken, miserable wretch, evidently her husband, to accompany her home. She turned her pinched and haggard features toward me as I approached her. Groat God! it was Nellie. 'As she recognizod mo a look of joy, that suddenly changed to one of the deepest despair, shot across her pallid countenance and she Btretched out both her arms ore she remembered that to do so was almost a crime. Then she suddenly drew back and hid her face in both hor hands as a choking sob shook hor whole figure. "I saw tho truth in an instant. She had married Dick Marston in a moment of anger and spite, but her heart was irrevocably mine. And he, drunken vagabond that he was, had evidently made her life one perpetual round of misery and disgrace. "I could not trust myself to approach hor, so 1 turned away with grief and despair in my heart Poor Nellie renewed her efforts fao get hor intoxicated husband home, and he soon staggered around the corner and they vanished from my sight. "It was tho last time that I evor Saw Nellie Marston alive. That very night her husband blew out hor brains and then hia own in a fit of deli rum tremens, and they were both buried by publio charity.

Life that had on^e opened so brightly for me became a long torment and a miserable failure from the moment of that angry parting with Nellie For? sytho In the old Nelson wood lot Thoro I ruined my own life and prospects, as well as those of tho girl I loved better than life itself, all on account of mv wretched pride and jealousy. Ah! Ned, curb false pride and beware of lovers' quarrels ere it Is too late."

As Uncle Ross ceased speaking his head one© more dropped upon hia hand. Not a word waa stud for somo moment* then the young man silently rose and left the apartment Mid tho house.

That evening he returned with a look of quiet happiness upon his face, and beading over his uncle's chair, he whispered "It is all right Uncle Ross and I thank you for your story. Henrietta and Tare done with lovers' quarrels now11 hope forever."

pleased gossip* of thfc nei^.-.iwrhood had imparted the unpalatable news to me times ni'hout number. The constant reitei. on of the unwelcome fact was perfectly maddening to me, and I became almost wild with anger and bitterness. 'I never went near Nellie for throe weeks, but I nursed my wounded pride in silence and at home. I was waiting for some signs of re- r,ting on her part, but none came thou-A I heard that Dick Marston was in constant attendance at her side, I was utterly miserable, but waa too proud to ackno wledge that I had been in the wrong.

The portable telephone, for which engineers, surveyors, army and navy people have been sighing for so long, came at last The strangest part of the invention is tfae fact that it is a Frenchman who evolved it, and not an American».as is nsuai in such cases. M. Roulez, a French inventor, devised the instrument, and electrio&ns everywhere are woudering why some one never thought of it before.* The great trouble in Ibis direction of invention was to find something to do away with the necessity of a battery. Magnets without number have been made for the purpose, but until the present time none has answered the reeuirement M. Roulez conceived the idea of using two magnets with the same poles opposed and separated by a small bit of soft wire, instead of the old horseshoe magnets with wire bobbins that have heretofore failed. With his new instrument the inventors claim results as perfect as by the use of tire stationary, !^TiXCrlrCuit calTlwa itra Mrarfr TtaiiU oHg,

and can be applied at a distance of 400 miles quite successfully. The cut pictures the new instrument better than could anv description. In use, the telephone Is carried on the head of the operator, the receivers remaining attach* to his ears continually. Its use will le largely by surveyors and advanced guards or pickets on reconnoitering duty. Vessels of a fleet at sea communicate with each other by the same means, a well insulaled pair of wires being kept floating above the water by supporters or immersed by sinkers, as the occasion may require.

Tunnel liulldiiiff.

The art of tunneling may be considered as having been reduced to a science, as no distance is too great and no material too hard to be pene» trated if the object sought is sufficient to justify the expense. The building of the St. Clair river tunnel, where iron cylinders were forced through the clay by hydraulic pressure, was a great advance in the art of building tunnels through certain kinds of soil. The tunnel built under the streets of London, where the top of the arch is just below the cobble stone pavement, was built without in the least obstructing travel at the place where the work was being carried on. According to the Industrial World, a tunnel five miles long is now being driven through the solid rock under Gray's Peak, sixty miles west of Denver, Colo. This tunnel, which is 8x18 feet, is being built primarily to tap the mineral veins in tbe mountains, which are thought to be quite rich. After the tunnel is complete it will be enlarged and opeued for traffic to accommodate an extension of th&4Jtah Central railway, which is to form a through line from Denver to Salt Lake. Thus far about a mile of the tunnel has been driven by hand power, but a plant of ten Rand drills, with Ingersoll air compressors, has just been put in, and an electrk light plant is soon to follow, aftet which it is expected the rate of working will be greatly increased. The ex cavatiog of this tunnel is through rook about as hard as any that can be found.

The Zffeantireineut of Heat. The degree of delicaov which has been attained in the application of the radiomicrometer for the measurement ot radiant heat—viz., from a candle, a Ore, the sun, the moon, the stats Ot anything else which radiates heat through space—is marvelous. 41* &P preciable effect is produced on the radio-micrometer by a candle placed two miles uwav, atVhich distance it* light i? almost comparable to that of a baiely visible nebula. The latest measurements by Prof. Boys shows that the heat of the lunar rays can be definitely 150,000 times greate*

determined as than those of a candle twenty feet away. The difference of radiation between a moon nineteen days old, which goes through the sky with its darked foremost and the nine-day moon, which lite bright edge goes forwanrl, and the dilbinTslted heat at tbe terminator, as compared with the luminoo* part of the disk, show in a wonderful way the discriminating power of the instrument Prof. Boys experiment* fully confirm the inference drawn from earlter observations--that the beat ol the moon does not accumulate by penetrating beneath her surface. It fast* only from moment to jnoment at supplied by the sun.

Dim Lights the

Most persons who use cent electric light like because the light is whiter and more brilliant than after the lamp has been In use for two or three weeks. This is wrong. It is this dazzling white light that harms the eye, says an oculist. An old lamp is the best, for in these tha light has become changed to a pale yellow, which is the ideal color. Just as in noonday brightness human sight is not so clear and far-reaching as at the yellow sunset, so a new incandescent burner is not so good for the eye as an old one. An old burner, so adjusted and shaded that the light does not shine in the face, is the ideal artificial light An Argand j*as burner comes next The use of the arc light should be confined to street, lamps. Some storekeepers still use them, bu4- they are terribly hurt(ut to tbe eye. This is because the intensity of the light is constantly changing, and this jumping of the blaxe is much worse for the eye than the flicker of the gaslight 1 have had occasion to treat a great many people for inflammation of the retina caused by working by Vie light of arc lamps.
