A woman who had engaged board for two cats at an animal boarding house stopped at the desk on her way out and said: “Oh, by the way, I forgot something. What do you give your cats for Sunday dinner?’ “The regu- lar fare,” sald the proprietor. “I would like you to make an exception in the case of my cats” sald the woman. “They have been used to special dishes at home on Sunday, and I am sure they would miss them very much. I am willing to pay extra for the care and expense.” “That”" grumbled the animal man after acceding to her re- quest. “is onc of the peculiar phases of this business.

St. Petersburg, March 6.—General Batyanoff, formerly an officer in the navy, is trying to persuade the em peror that Russia should have a squad- ron in Far Eastern waters at the earliest possible moment and is rec- ommending that the projected war- ships be built in the United States and not in Europe. The general de- clares that the American shipbuilding yards could turn out in two years as many ships as European yards could In five years. Russia is soon to begin the construction of two battleships of 21,800 tons displacement, with a speed of 21 knots, turbine machinery and armautent of ten 12-inch guns each. It Is reported these vessels will be laid down In St. Petersburg yards this spring and it is hoped to finish them in four years. FIFTY HAVE BEEN REMOVED. Young Woman Swallowed Packet of Needies Several Months Ago. New York, March 6.—Mrs. Dolly Deussler, twenty-two years of age, who swallowed a packet of needles several mont’'s ago, is at present un- der treatment in Bellevue hospital, where the surgeon states she has still scores of needles in her body. At the Fordham hospital, where the woman was first treated, five operations’ were performed and fifty needles extracted Some of the needles are located as far apart as back, chest and arms and it is feared that two of them, which have traveled to the vicinity of tac heart, may puncture that organ. A charge of attempted suicide may be made against the woman. It is not known how she came to swallow the needles, TO INSPECT CANAL WORK. 8everal Members of Congress Sail for Panama.

Sutoliffe Harvell lay in the bottom of his ea- noe. The canoe was tied a few feet out from the shore, and the river, deep, powerful and mysterious, tugged at the frail little craft. But Harvell did not heed the call. The darkness was deep, yet luminous, with the promise of an early moon, and the night wind that swept from shoreward was sweet and heavy with the fragrance of blooming rushes. Harvell stared upward to the stars, every sense as keenly alive to the beauty of the scene as if mind and heart had not been given over for days to the problem which he had thrown himself Into the canoe to solve. Final- Iy be stirred restlessly and said half aloud: “No. It's no use. I can’t do it. Shelis too fine and thoroughbred for a great, common born chap like me to marry. “MARGARET!” HE ORIED. And—no, even if she should be will- ing, which is an insane thought on my part, I've no right to let her sacrifice herself. DIl stay until tomorrow and then plead business and disappear.” There was a little stir near the pier, as of the underbrush, then a woman’s voice, wonderfully clear and sweet: “Let’s sit here and wait for the moon to rise. The bungalow is so close and hot tonight.” Harvell caught his breath. It was she. The voice that replied he recog- nized as that of his married sister, who was chaperoning the bungalow party. “You haven't been yourself at all, Mar- garet, during the entire week.” “I know it, Agnes.” The voice, with its tired note, was very touching, and Harvell stirred restlessly. “I'm use- less to myself and every one else— every one else,” she repeated, as if to herself, “Oh, nonsense! Peggy, you are too fine and wholesome to talk so. 1 ‘wish”— Agnes stopped as if not daring to go on. Margaret's voice continued: “I want you to help me to steal off tonight, Agnes. I want to go home, and I may Joint the Westburys and go to Parls. The stage goes down at 9 and I am going to catch it and steal off without a word to any one. Please, Agnes.” The perspiration started to Harvell’s face as he strained his ears to catch Agnes’ reply. When it came he gasped: “Sometimes I think brother Paul is a fool!” Margaret's voice was stern. ‘“Agnes, I wish you would never mention Paul Harvell's name to me. I"— But her voice was growing too faint for the man in the canoe to distinguish her ‘words, strive as he would. “They've started back to the bunga- low,” he thought. “I am a cad to have listened even thus much. But, anyhow, I've lived up to the adage. I wonder why I'm a fool”— Suddenly a realizing sense of Mar- garet's words came to him. She was golng away, going within an hour, and all that he had been feeling for a year was unsaid. For a moment his stern resolve of the early evening was forgotten. Then he sat erect, every muscle tense with stress of feeling. “It’s better go,” he said bitterly. “It's my business to begin to forget, if she mnever wants to hear my name agaln.” He looked off toward the bank, then gave a startled exclamation. The pler had disappeared. His canoe was float- Ing rapidly down stream, while his paddle was safely locked in the boat- house. “I must be almost on the rapids,” he thought. With the thought the boat turned the bend that had shut off the sound of the falls and the canoe was In the whirlpool. To swim was out of the question, for in the river here was a mass of jagged rocks hidden in seeth- Ing water. Almost instantly the canoe ‘was' broken and capsized. Harvell, dazed and bruised, clung to a project- Ing rock that had wrecked him. Fight as he would with all the force of his ‘wonderful physique, he was dashed again and again upon the stones. Yet as he fought he was conscious of only one thought: “I must get there. I must have just one word with Margaret before she goes.” Then he gave a cry of remembrance. He, with the other men of the camping party, had been planning a footbridge Reross the rapids. The week before with infintte toil they had laid a single line of heavy planks on the projecting rocks from shore to shore. They were not yet fastened in any way, their heavy weight serving to balance them fairly well on the stones. The dark ness, not yet lizhted by the moon, con cealed the planks, but clinging des- perately with one hand Harvell felt about with the other and by rare good Iuck found a plank, wet and slippery with spray, on a noighboring rock. ‘With infinite toil he raised himself out of the water inch by inch until at last be crouched on the great stone and felt | e *_ e teetering piank. Then on hands and knees he started for the shore. Blinded by sprays, the planks half turning so that he could only pause, struggling with rigid mus- cles for balance, Harvell crawled along the foot wide planks. And with each pause came new discouragement. Mar- garet would surely be gone. In a panic of haste he slipped and fought his way, now half in the bolling water, half on the slimy rocks, now again on the plankway, gaining toward his goal foot by foot. At last one final spring, and he felt again the solid earth be. neath him. Without thought of his dripping clothing he started on his half mile run through the woods to the bungalow. T “If the moon would only come up!” he thought as he tore his way through the heavy underbrush. “If—if only I am not too late! I am going to tell her anyhow, just to prove to her that I am a fool. I suppose— Oh, here is the stage road!” On up the sandy road, his clothes half dry with his rapid pace, then with the great edge of the summer moon peering over the top of the pines, he perceived a dim figure standing by the roadside. The figure shrank back a lit- tle at the sight of the man storming up the road. Harvell passed. “Margaret!” he crled. “Yes,” answered quietly the sweet, clear voice that never failed to thrill him, & “Margaret, why do you go?” Margaret, too surprised by his sudden appearance to be startled by his knowl- edge of her movements, made no reply. “Because,” Harvell plunged on, “I annoy you with attention, because I hang on your every word and glance, because I am an ordinary chap with ne ancestors, and you are the personifica- tlon of culture and delicacy—is that it, Margaret?” “You have no right to speak that way, Paul,” said Margaret, in her quiet volice. “No, but isn't that true?’ persisted Harvell. The mo>n was well above the treetops now. By its light be could see the look of pride with which Mar- garet drew herself up. “So you think me a snob? You know me well indeed!” “Know you,” replied Harvell miser- ably—'‘no, I know nothing, except that I love you and that I can never hope to marry you.” There was a long pause. The sum- mer night was very fair around them. The girl before him seemed to Harvell & part of the wonder of the night. “You think, then” said Margaret, “that I am too braiuless to admire your fine mind, your splendid physique? Being, you say, well born, I must be a snob.” Harvell drew a long breath. “Mar- garet,” he said, “will you marry me? ‘Will you say yes, Margaret?”’ “Not until I have told you,” answered the low voice, “that I was born and bred in poverty in the mountains of Tennessee, that I am finely born only as every American is finely born, and I am proud of it.” ‘The sound of stagecoach wheels came up the road, but already the two figures were far up the path that led to the bungalow. Men Are Bigger Now. Until the sixteenth century armor developed in a logical way, its forms were governed by the necessities of war, and changes in it were the re- sult of practical experience and actual experiment on the battlefield. After the sixteenth century it became fan. tastic and meaningless, a gala costume rather than a harness. The greatest captains opposed its use, but the no- bles clung to it as a mark of distine- tlon. After it was made bullet proof 1t became so enormously heavy that at the end of the sixteenth century it ‘was complained that gentlemen of thir- ty were even at that age deformed by the weight of their armor. In spite of the huge armors of Henry VIIL, of Anthony of Burgundy and of some oth- ers, the average size of the modern man is greater than that of the sol- dler of the middle ages and the re- naissance, if we can judge from the armor preserved in the museums of Hngland and the continent, which are, with few exceptions, small and nar- row, especially the leg and thigh pleces.—London Mail. The Ungainly “Mud Devil” A most curious, ugly and ungainly semi-aquatic creature is that which is known by the common name of mud devil or hellbender. The mud devil has neither the spiked tail, the horned head nor the cloven hoofs that are sup- posed to be the distinguishing marks of the evil one, but he is hideous enough to suggest all sorts of horrid dreams and nightmares, and on that account has been made more repulsive by the bestowal of his uneuphonious common name. He Is not polsonous in any way, has no horns or sting, but is simply a mud devil because he Is re- pulsively ugly. In general appearance his distorted and wart covered body is not exactly unlike that of a gigantic tadpole. His average length Is about elghteen Inches, but occasional well fed individuals may exceed even two feet from tip to tip. He has a broad, flat head and a sharp, sawlike fin running from the middle of the back to the tall, S “The Queen of Sicily.” Byracuse calls itself thgcapital of the south, but it has no cause to dispute pride of place with Palermo. The met- ropolitan city is superior in popula- tion, wealth and much else, but it is de- ficlent in what its anclent and glorious rival has in such abundance. For Syra- cuse has the supreme charm of Greece In a way that no other clty except Ath- ens has, Not even in Corinth, nowhere in Hellas from Messana or Sparta in the south to Thebes in the north, is there any Hellenic towu to compare with “the queen of Sicily.” As a sanc- tuary, Delphi i far more impressive than anything in Sfeily, as a national meeting place Olympia has no rival, but nowhere except at Athens is g Greek city to be seen today which has the proud record of the marvelous me- tropolis of the Sicillan Greeks, a city as great In power and wealth and beauty as Athena herself, and victor at last in the long and fatal rivalry which indirectly involved the passing of the Hellenistic dominion of all the lands washed by the Ionian and Med- tterranean seas.—Century.
