Whether tt ts that the American | se lety woman, owing to her late hours, when she reaches a certain jage, needa a little artificial touch |here and there to restore her fading bloom, or from whatever cause it | may be, the fact unfortunately re- | mains that she does use a little ju- | diclous make-up. | Now, as this seems to be a neces- sity, why not use this make-up as her French sister does, who has it Jown to a fine point of perfection.

MENTAL TELEPATHY. _— 1am a matter of fact sort of man. I devoted my time and talents to money making at a very early age, and 1 have pursued this fascinat- ing avocation ever since with dili- gence and seal, I have read or heard of such a thing telepathy”—I believe the phychical research people coined the word, but I don’t know, and prob- ably they will tell me that this case of mine was “another instance of telepathic communication. If that is all they can tell me I don't wish to hear the explanation. Tam a plain man, as I said befe and I don't care for having long words thrown at me. Ever since I left colinge T have been immersed in business affairs The only deviation from the rigid routine of my money-making life | can remember was the occasion that I fell in love. The fever did not last | very long; but I had tt pretty bad |for the time being. It was in Paris, 1882. She was an actress, She had a beautiful face, a magnificent presence and a divine volee. Tiut she was young and ambitious, She was wedded to her art, she said. When I saw it was really hopel further to press my sult, I bec me melancholy~and4, incidentally, mel- odramatic. “Marie,” 1 said, “you are young. You are just entering upon @ career, which, notwithstanding its present allurements, you may find distaste- ful to you before long. I have told you that I love you. I am te years older than you. My affections Jare fixed upon you, whether you re- lJect them or not. The time will }eome when you will think more kindty of me, and be more disposed }to laten to me. Take this ring, I lbeg you. Keep it always with you; land if at any time you should relent ‘send this ring to me. Or, if any cir- lcumstances should arise in you may require the assistance of a trustworthy friend, send it to me.” Fifteen years have come and gone ince then, In 16 yearal have work ed hard and made money. I have never given myself much time to |think of Marie. Indeed, Immersed in affairs, if I did not forget her en j tisety, lt came tn time to think of her only very occasionally as a bright vision that had fitted acros | ere hh li a i a i ain a i te Shei art which | GRAPHITE MADE.

It was evening, and 1 went straight to the hotel where 1 always stopped while in the Windy City. ‘The hotel clerk 1 to me an I went up to the » register, “A letter for you air,” he sald It was a roginte letter, 1 could |fool that it contained some small, |hard substance.

I thrust my hand into my pocket |for the envelope and ite precious contents. Gone! I searched every pocket over and over again, but in n Envelope, paper and ring were all | kone. O, the weary hours of the tollsome journey. But it was over at last! 1 jumped into @ carriage and direct~ ed the driver to the hotel, I rushed through the hall and seized the register, Running my fingers over the names, 1 came at last to the one that I sought. Marie occu- pled roome 17 and 18. “IT am expected,” I said to the clerk, and then went straight to the door of No, 1T and knocked: “Come said a low voice A lady from the rocking chalr and bowed to me. “Marie!” 1 cried, springing for- ward to selze her hand, “don't you know me?" ‘The indy rained her forefinger to her lips, then beckoned me to fol- low her. @he led the way Into room No. 14, which opened off the sitting room, and I followed—mystified. Gently she lifted a cloth from the face of the one tying there, and beckoned me to approach. A moment more and I w upon the dead face of Mart “My sister died at 10 lock on Tuesday night,” said the lady whom I had mistaken for Marie. “Just be- fore she died she kissed a ring she had worn on her finger for many yeare and murmured “George.” ! think you are Mr, Carrington? She has a picture of you.” 1 aaw Marie buried, and the ring that I had given her was buried with her. It had never left her hand. ‘The hotel clerk in Chicago says that he did not give me a letter on the evening that I left the hotel so precipttately. His words are: “You came in that night, air, and 4 for a room. I told you you could have either No, 17 or No. ay Then you looked at me kind ot queer for about half a minute, and suddenly walked off without anoth- er word.” ‘There was no envelope, no Boston — hotel, no word “Marie” writ- ten. Was all this, then, a pure chimera of the mind? Or did Marie summon me to the chamber of death by some strange power of will which defies time and annihilates space, knowing not the limitations which beset the strong man in all the pride of health and virtlity?

Y,, April it | Several new worda have been added to the English language, o & t In- | dustry has been established and pos sibly many thousands of miners will be thrown out of employment by 1. G. Acheson, discoverer of the car- bide of silicon, Mr, Acheson's latest feat is an elaboration on a commer- jetal neale of his process to convert |coke into graphite in the flerce heat of the eleetrio furnace. For years it has been his definite plan to invent a way of changing the allotropic forma of carbon from one to another, ©arbon existe in the diamond, graphite, and in the com- mon forms, such as charcoal, coke jand lamp black. While many chem- ie and sctentista have ught to obtain the diamond form, Mr. Ache- on has sought after graphite. Hin first building is now being erected at Niagara Palla by a company capitalized at $1,000,000, for the pro- duction of graphite on an enormous seale, By January 1, 1900, the ca- pacity of the works will be many tons # day. The law behind the change has not been given to the world, but In a per read before the Franklin in- |atitute & week ago it was hinted. |Mr. Acheson has been the re- jctplent of many congratulations on his discovery. The effects of the production of |eraphite on a large scale will be unt- versally felt tp the trade. It can be pr od at a very alight cost, much beneath that of mining it in Cey- lon, where the great source of sup- ply exists, or even of the Michigan ¢ product of which is now ot graphite paint. The use of graphite ‘asa basis for paint for structural is recent, but already tons ¢ mixed with ol] every day for this purpose, Hut the great use of graphite as manufactured at Niagara Falls will be for motor brushes. Graphite is one of the best conductors of elec- trieity known. Besides it is an ex- cellent lubricant. In a motor brush graphite increases the longevity of the brush besides proving « very much better conductor, The use of mined graphite as stove polish gives another tremendous market for the | product and graphitized carbon rode for electrolytic processes gives just what was needed. The life of the rod is indefinitely increased = and the conductivity of the rod makes its effictency very much higher. “To graphitize’ and “graphitiza- tion” are words to be added to the English language and were not ne- censary until Acheson discovered how to transform carbon in its prevalent form into the graphite form. When Acheson first took his carbide of silicon to New York and sold it to jewelers he got $600 « for it, That was tn 1892. To- day tons of it are manufactured at Niagara Falls every dey and it re- taile for 10 cents a pound. Graphite can be made at @ cheaper figure, WHERE IS SHE BOUND? “Schooner Emma and Louisa Departs Mysteriously. The schooner Emma and Louisa, which was alongside Schwabacher dock for two days last week, left Sunday on a mysterious voyage, the destination of which is unknown, Bhe came to Seattle from Honolulu last December and up to a week ago was lying idle in the stream off the Centennial fouring mill. She was then purchased by John G. Pacey, of the MacDougal & Southwick com- pany, and was brought alongside Schwabacher dock to be overhauled. When seen by a Star reporter re- garding the use the schooner was to be put to, Mr, Pacey wes inclined jto be reticent. He stated emphat- Hjoally that he had no news regard- | ing the vessel for publication. He, however, made the statement that she was not going to be put on the Alaska route, but was to leave shortly for South America to be |turned over to some merchants at Chill, who had recently purchased |her. ‘Who the parties were who bought the schooner, ot to what use |they intended putting her to, Mr | Pacey refused to state. It is much out of the ordinary for a vessel the size of the Emma Louisa to leave Puget sound for |South Amertean ports, Old ship- ping men fail to recollect of any instance in which @ vessel of 87 tons or thereabouts left for that coast. The schooner was originally owned by a man named Wilson, of San Francisco.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., April --. —Miss Helle Shane, 22, a resident of Morristown, Pa. and now « visitor of this city, declared her intention today of accompanying Captain An- drews on his next voyage acroms the Atlantic ocean to attend the Paris exposition. Miss Shane read in the papers a few days ago that Captain Andrews was to make bis seventh and last voyage in a 17-foot dory. She sought out the captain and pro- posed that if he would enlarge bis boat to such a size as to give her suitable accommodations, she would bear the expense of building the bomt. Miss Shane said today that she had arranged with Captain Andrews to sail with him on June 17 from this city, She said that it was her ambition to be the first woman to cromm the Atlantic in a small boat. Capt. Andrews says that he would be delighted to have her accompany him. He has made a number of trips across the Atlantic, each time going in a small cockleshell. ——_—__—_—— Arm Pulled Loose.

Because the use of tobacco is especially ob- noxious in offices of the church no oMficer will be ordained unless he promises to refrain from its use. No student shall be admitted to licen- sure to preach or be ordained un- less he promises to refrain from the use of tobacco.” Domestic Service Problem. Prof. Mary Smith, of Leland Stan- | ford university has a solution of the | problem of domestic service, which shes sets forth in the Sunday Post- Dispatch. “Rightly understood,” she sald, “there is nothing ignoble in the | work. On the contrary a girl may | find in tt admirable possibilities of good for herself and others, instead of posing as a martyr she should consider herself as a respectable person, intrusted with the care of a home, and, to a great extent, with the happiness of the family, If girls could be taught these things the whole ‘aspect of affairs would change.” Bits ike this suggest the old doubts about woman's “intellex.” They make one thing of “intuiti and other purely feminine facult The young woman who in this beautiful and disinterested way makes a family happy gets one af- ternoon out and a Sunday evening She rises at 5 a, m. and goes to be when her work is done, She cooks, sweeps, dusts, scrubs and answers the door bell. She receives her beau in the kitchen while her mistress en- tortains her friends in the parlor. It's all very beautiful, but it is sin- gular, if Bridget is responsible for the welfare and happiness of the whole family and is faithful to her |duties, she can’t come into the par- lor with her young man, There's the rub. No, Prof. Smith {s all wrong. The problem of domestic service 18 insol- uble Just because it is domestic ser- |vice.
