A Question of Home Economics. By J. LUDLUM LEE. Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated Literary Press. "My country, right or wrong, but still my country," murmured Eleanor Wright with great satisfaction as she gazed through the open window at the apple trees laden with gorgeous blos- soms. She loved the place and every stick and stone on it It was hers by right of inheritance, and she would leave it for no man. True, her old nurse, Roxanne, had forsaken her to become the bride of Abraham, the head gardener on the adjoining estate, and it seemed as if a landmark had been torn up by the very routs. One must learn to part with landmarks, so Eleanor had promised to go to Roxanna's wedding. She jumped into the little runabout which was waiting for her at the door. No groom attended her, for all the derides on the place had been given a holiday that they, too, might attend the wedding. She drove down the fa- miliar lane to the cabin in the woods, where hundreds of darkies had con- gregated. Only one other white per- son was in sight, a tall, lithe youth astride a roan horse. . Most of the colored men wore white linen suits, immaculately clean, and carried canes of crooked old birch and hickory. The women were arrayed to shame Solomon in all his glory. They drew aside as the two white persons came into their midst Eleanor drove up at the side of the house and de- scended with the aid of many -black hands. The tall youth stayed on his horse and took up a stand near the front door. Arm in arm the bride and groom came from the house, and under the old apple tree at the side of the cabin the most famous colored preach- er in the south made them man and wife. Eleanor shook the groom by the hand and told him to guard well his precious helpmate. She kissed the black face of Roxanne, who had been her constant attendant since babyhood. Then, blinded by tears, she jumped into her little runabout and started for home. Cheers and hallelullahs rang upon the air. Bright bandannas were flung high, and hickory sticks wavered in circles. After twenty years of persist- ent courtship Roxanne and Abraham were married! Eleanor turned to look back at the happy throng, and her horse shied. She was a good little horsewoman and took a firm grip on the reins, but too tate! The horse had the bit in his teeth and was running at terrific speed. The Light wagon rocked from one side of the road to another, Eleanor sway- ing with it. Down the road, past pink orchards and green fields, swaying, swaying—and then black nothing. She opened her eyes to gaze into those of the youth who had attended the wedding. "I'm Dick Ewing, your next door neighbor," he explained as he made her a bit more comfortable by propping her up. "Abraham is our gardener, you know," he continued, "and I saw you at the wedding. You seem to have for- gotten me. How's yotir head, eh?" Eleanor had known Dick Ewing when she was a child. The last time they had met be had called "tomboy" at her as she climbed over the fence which divided the Ewing place from the Wright plantation. Then he had been sent to Germany at the behest of a wealthy uncle. He seemed to divine her thoughts. "I got back the other day—just in time for the wedding," and he laughed an infectious laugh. "But this line of conversation is not getting you home. I don't know just how to do it. I don't suppose there's a sober darky this side of the Mason and Dixon line—all at the wedding drinking Wright cider. Your wagon is smashed. Oh, I say, couldn't you sit my horse, and I'll walk alongside? We're most there, you know" He inspired confidence. Eleanor gath- ered up her torn skirt and with Dick's assistance mounted the horse. On the way home the time was spent in ex- planations. He had much to tell of • student life in Germany. Now a full fledged doctor, he had come home to practice in the south. Her tale was more simple, an uneventful life at home, with Roxanne always guarding her. "I just don't know how I'll ever get along without her. Do yon know, I seldom even put a hairpin in my hair?" said Eleanor, with a helpless, appeal- ing expression that touched Dick's heart as if some tragedy had overtaken her. "Don't you talk. I expect the fa- mous gardens of the Ewing estate can now go to rack and ruin, for Abraham will be home making love instead of wielding the hoe," said Dick in a mas- culine attempt at sympathy. Eleanor was safely deposited on the front porch, with her mother almost hysterical in gratitude to their neigh- bor. "I may come again, please?" he said as he extended his hand to Eleanor. "Provided, of course, that I don't have to take a hand at the garden," he add- ed, with some sarcasm. "Oh, do come over!" cordiale assent- ed Eleanor. "1 shall probably be all pinned op the back and wearing my hair in a pigtail, because without Rox- anna—well, come over and see for your- self." Dick was very busy the next day ow? big to the promotion of the second man as overseer during Abraham's honey- moon. The underservants resented his authority, and Dick was at his wits' end to mollify them, assuring them that Abraham would be back in a few days and peace would once more reign. Mrs. Ewing wept and said it served Dick right He ought not to have al- lowed the gardener to marry. The sec- ond morning things were at a stand- still all over the place. None of the darkies would work at all, and Dick jumped on his horse and rode down to the cabin where the bride and groom were 'jus "When Abraham ure of the "M Istat with Rol work for married"— Abranam signeu. Dick Ewing was a true southerne and would not stoop to ask favors of negro. He wheeled around and half way dowu the laue met Eleanor, sit ting her gray horse as if born to tit saddle. "Good morning!" she sang out mer rily. "I'm ou my way to beg Roxauua to return to her old duties. My hair' in a snarl, my shoes are losing all thei buttons and—well, 1 must have my Roxanne." Dick smiled, not without mance. "Do come along and join me. A man always lends dignity to an attack of this sort," continued Eleanor. And Dick turned his horse's head in the same direction. Roxanne was called to the door, where Abraham had stood a few mo- ments before, and her mistress im- plored her to return. Sbe offered the same excuse that had greeted Dick. "Miss 'Nor, Abraham seems like he thinks I ought to work for his folks, an' when you're married"— Eleanor and Dick wheeled about and rode down the lane at full speed. Con- versation seemed to lag until they reached the spacious porch of the Wright home. "Let's talk the matter over seriously, Eleanor," said Dick. "I may call you Eleanor, mayn't I? And let's us go back to the old time chumminess of childhood." Eleanor looked at the fence where they had parted in anger—but she ac- quiesced. "The other day as I was going to that infernal darky wedding which up- set two erstwhile happy homes I stop- ped under the old apple tree by the turn of the road, and I reached up to gather some blossoms," began Dick. Eleanor leaned forward as if listen- ing to an interesting story. "They were out of my reach, and when I found that I could not get them I felt as if I had lost something which had never really been mine, yet something which I had always coveted subcon- sciously." Eleanor smiled, with a suggestion of a blush. "So it is with something else, Elea- nor," he continued. "You are that something else. All my life I have wanted my little neighbor. As a boy 1 teased you, but I wanted you. As a man I missed you in Germany. I love you, and I must have you. Perhaps I am reaching up too far. Perhaps you are way above me, as the blossoms were." He hesitated as if waiting for an au- swer. Eleanor leaned back in her chair. Her lips twitched. Her eyes danced. "Dick, tell me truly one thing, and I will answer your question." He rose and stood beside her In the golden sunlight. The soft breezes blew a few petals on them both. "Dick Ewing, on your honor, do you want me—just me, Eleanor Wright—or do you want Rosanna and Abraham?" Two hearty young laughs resounded through the air. "Honest Injun, dear, I want just you, and I want you, as they say in the song, 'Because You're You,'" emphat- ically declared Dick as he drew a not unwilling captive within his arms. Eleanor pushed him aside and with mock dignity said: "Come, dear—yes, dear Dick—let's go back to the old cabin and see if Rox- anne and Abraham will come and work for us." IMFt#� Fn %E.

There are some very remarkable in- stances of people who have been mar- ried a large number of times, and also of husbands and wives who have lived together to an extraordinary age. St. Jerome mentions a woman who mar- ried her twenty-second husband, who, in his turn, had been married to twen- ty wives. There is an instance re- co:Jed in Bordeaux in 1772 of a man who had been married sixteen times. A woman named Elizabeth Nese, who died in Florence In 1768, had been mar- ried to seven husbands, her last wed- ding taking place when she was seven- ty years of age. 1eumerous cases exist all over the world of people who have been married four, five or six times. In 1788 a couple was living in Essex who had been married eighty-one years, the husband being 107 years old and his wife only four years younger. These cases are also not isolated ones, and it is somewhat remarkable that in. most of such instances when one has died the survivor has djed the next day. Saved the Vase. The little son of an English gentle- man, in mischievously playing with a vase, managed after several attempts to get his hand through the narrow neck and was then unable to extricate It ,For half an hour or more the whole family and one or two friends did their best to withdraw the fist of the young offender, but in vain. It was a very valuable vase, and the father was loath to break it, but the existing state of affairs could not continue for- ever. At length, after a final attempt to draw forth the hand of the victim, the father gave up his efforts in de- spair, but tried a last suggestion. "Open your hand!" he commanded the tearful young captive, "and then draw it forth." "I can't open it, father," declared the boy. "Can't?" demanded his father. "Why?" "I've got my penny in my hand," came the astounding reply. "Why, you young rascal," thundered his father, "drop it at once!" The penny rattled in the bottom of the vase and out came the hand.

In the forward end of the tool a block is mounted to slide vertically, and it may be moved to the desired ad- justment by means of a thumbscrew. Adjustably secured to this block by means of screw's are a pair of guide blades (C, The guide blades in operation form parallel grooves or guides exactly with- in and between which the main iron follows and cuts the shavings. The motion of these guide blades is limited by shoulders on the blades and the plane. Directly in front of the guide blades at one side is an auxiliary guide or supplemental sole (D).

The maxinittnt size of ocean going steamships has doubled within the last ten years, and prophecies are frequent-, ly heard of continuous growth, alike to size and speed. says Scientific Amer- ican. It seems probable, however, that in the immediate future there will be little increase in the size or speed of steamships. Speed does not pay, and some regard must 'be paid to the depth of harbor channels and the capacity of drydocks. Before vessels larger than the Lusltanla are design- ed there must be some assurance that they can get in and out of the ports which they are likely to visit. Any demands created by expanding com- merce can easily be met by increasing. the number of vessels to be devoted to it and by increasing the frequency of sailing dates. Every knot of speed added beyond a certain point means a more than pro- portionate expense. And speed is not everything. More than one of the transatlantic lines are noted for the roomy comfort of their steady, slow traveling boats, which neither pitch unduly in rough seas nor transmit a constant vibration from the engines. Figuring Fortis of Lightning. It is not possible to use any instru- ments for the purpose of figuring the forces of lightning, yet there are many other 'ways of calculating familiar to every mathematician. Dr. Steinmetz has figured that the amount of light given by a single lightning flash is enough to illuminate an area two miles square. The bolt Itself would be visi- ble several miles farther off, but the remotest part of the region mentioned would have as much light as would be given by a candle, quite enough to read by. To produce such a light It would be necessary to expend 18,000 horsepower for a second. These figures appear large, but the time is short. The flash might be for only the thou sandtlh p.crt of a second, bnt the im- pression on the eye would continue for a tenth of a second anyway. Figured down to an exact !tour, this amount of force would mean only about four horsepower. Mother s ut Pay. "Mother go :: 1.p E!1:+: " said the new office boy.

Then she gives the uth"rc their breakfast and gets 'em ready for Mewl. and then, she and the baby have their breakfast" "What is your pay here?" asked the man, "I get $3 a week, gnd father gets E3 II day." "How muck does your mother get?" "Mother!" be said indignantly. "Why, she don't have to work for anybody." "Oh, I thought you just told me she worked for thewhole family every morning." "Oh, that's for us, but there ain't no money in that."—New York Press.

Why Liquids Should Be Taken Spar' ingly During Meals, An article in Deutsche Revue consid- ers the functlou of water In the human body. The author points out that wa- ter_tterves both as a solvent for other substances in the body and is itself absorbed into other substances. These are of great importance because there are hundreds of chemical reactions in the body, uone of which is possible without the use of water. It is the only solvent the cheutical laboratory of a human being has for the many purposes of dissolving substances which must be transformed. Water on entering the stomach is probably not at all absorbed there, acting merely as a medium to which the chemical changes take place. If it were absorbed while still In the stom- ach the digestive process could not be properly accomplished In the small in- testines. where It Is needed. but when that process is practically completed in the large intestines the water, having fulfilled its task. Is ready to enter the blood. Even a layman may gather from this how irrational It is to take large quan- titles of fluid. as soups or beverages. during meals, especially in ense of sluggish digestion or enlargement of the stomach, as digestion Is too much retarded if the digestive fluids are tc much diluted. A highly important function of wa- ter finally Is that of regulating the temperature of the body, cooling It by evaporation from lungs and skin. Its power as a thermo regulator maker the npprecintion of water very necessary in the human economy. BIG FRUIT UNLOADER. Electric Apparatus For Removing Ba- nanas From Ship.. At least two-thirds of the ordinary waste accompanying the shiptnent of bananas by water Is prevented by this electric unloading apparatus, says Popular Mechanics. At New Orleans, where the machine Is in use, over 7,000,000 bunches of bananas are an- nually unloaded. Formerly thls work was all done by ncgroes who were sta- tioned in the bold at one hatch at a time. They passed the fruit from deck to deck and then to the shore as a bucket brigade posses water from band to hand. With the machine only a few ne- groes are needed, the fruit Is not bruised, and 2,x,00 bunches per hour can be unloaded. The apparatus 1s built upon a platform upheld by ten BANANA UNLOADRR. trucks. From the platform booms rise in the shape of a hinge which opens and shuts. When ready to commence operations, tbe hinge is opened and the, lower joint dropped into the hold. The canvas carrier, which revolves around pivots placed at each end of the steel boom, Is divided by bars of wood into pockets thirty Inches in length and forty-eight inches wide. The fruit is loaded into the pockets at each -deck by Degrees and is swiftly carried up the perpendicular boom and across to the wharf. A lookout tower is stationed on top of the machine, front which one opera- tor eontreis the entire mechanism. The trucks on which the platform is built rest on a track which runs the entire length of the wharf, making it possible to move tbe apparatus from place to place. This is accomplished under Its own power. Stomach Protects Itself. The reason why the stomach and in- teatines do not digest themselves was once thought by Weinland, a German experimenter, to be that they defend themselves by antienzymes, or antifer- ments. Dr, Nandor Klug of Budapest now reports these nntlferments not to be found, but that the tnuclu present in the inner half of the gastric mucous membrane resists the digestive action of the trypsin and the gastric juice. The digestive organs, therefore, protect themselves by the mucin they secrete. Remedy For a Leaking Fountain Pen.

He bad no sooner seated himself in the vehicle, however, than the driver. whipped up his horse and whirled the dismayed traveler at a furious pace through nil the dust and over all the ;tones of the notoriously rough streets of Jaffa. The pasaeuger was too busily employed in saving his bones to be able to see anything of the Interesting town.

"I do not nae adulterated goods' on my table." "My dear madam," said the bland joker, "there 'are always a lot of p's in pepper." Thert was an impressive pause.

Long Sentences. Ruskin, It is said, hart written more sentences of h,urdlnate length than any other classic writer of modern English prose. Frederic Harrison some years ago counted the words In a num- ber of typical sentences, finding that In the earlier books It waif no uncommon thing for Ruskin to run beyond the page before permitting himself and his readers the relief of a full atop. But in every case the sense is clear as day. Wordsworth's poem on the "Charac- ter of the Happy Warrior" is a notable example of sustained connections. Apart from the opening and closing couplets We poem consists of two very long compound sentences almost en- tirely comprised of adjectival clauses.
