Who Is Juliet?" the elty doctor had called In suddenly asked. "Whoever she Is, let hereome to him. It may be his salvation." And then 1 was forced to tell him all. "Put an advertisement in the 'personal' column of the daily paper," aid the doctor. "Do you think It will do any good?" I asked piteously; and he Htiswered: "It is worth the trial, at, all events." I was sitting at the kitchen table that very evening, studying out the form of ao advertisement 'I chose the kitchen so that the light of the lamp should not annoy my ooor boy when the curious magnetic thrills which sometimes announce tons the presence of another humanity than our own in the room, crept through my veins, and looking up with a start I saw Juliet! Standing on the threshold, darked-skinned and yehel evul.jusl as she had stood thai radiani September afternoon when lirst I saw her, "Is it tiuni'" she asked me, with a wild vehemence of manner of speech 1 had scarcely believed lier capable, "that he is sick thing -mid not by his 1 ran to her, holding out both my arms.

"Stand back!" she cried passionately, "1 have neither pitv or favor to ask of ym. But I loved him. Oh, 1 loved him, even th iugh he did not care for me!" I took her by the arm. "Juliet," cried "listen!" And from the sick-room came the pitiful reiteration of the one word; "Juliet! Juliet!" She threw herself upon my bosom, with a burst of sobs and tears which seemed to relievo her poor, overcharged heart, "Tell mo," she faltered, "that my ears are not deceiving inol Tell me, does he wanit me?" "He is breaking his heart for yon," I answered, "lie loves you bet.lcr than his own life." "May 1 go to "Go!" I stood listening while she hurried Into the darkened room listening wilh one hand pressed over my heart. And still came forth the pleading cry: "Juliet! Juliet!" Until all of a sudden' it paused, and I heard my poor boy say, with an utterance of Ineffable relief: "She has come back to me, my Juliet, and now I can die in peace!" But he did not die, my only son.

He lived, thanks to the tireless nursing an I tender devotion of the dark-eyed young wife who had come, like a healing angel to his side. "Juliet." I said to her, the day that he. tirst sat up iu a cushioned chair, "it is you that we have to thank for this." She looked up at me with those great, wistful eyes of hers. "And do you think you can love me now?" said sbf, imploringly. "My darling! my darling!" was all that I could say; as 1 clasped the slight, small figure close to my heart.

And from that day to this, there has never been the slightest shadow of doubt or dissension between me and my daughter-in-law. N. Y. LnLer. Useful, and suuctsTivc The laetohut.vromeler Is a new Invention to determine the nmminlof fut hi milk.

A. F. Examiner, A MECHANICAL fLAYER. How Haron von Civi Autot uiutou t'liiulriicteil. In 17GD, when ut Vienna on otllelal business, Baron von Kenipeleft, during his Intervals of luisuro, constructed the mechanical chess-player, which was destined to render him famous.

The auto-' maton consisted of a chest or box, upon hich was seated the figure of a The chest was thrce and a half feet long.i two feet broad, and two and a hojf fueC high, placed on casters, which enabled the exhibitor to move it occasionally from one part of an apartment to another. The object of this arrangement was to show to the spectators that not trap-door communicated with the chest. Tho left arm of the Turk was hollow, and through it a ire ran which eoni-i muulealeU with the Interior of he where, by means of a lever, tho operator concealed within It whs enabled lo give, every desired motion to tho arm, and lingers of the ligure. Tho ohestj was divided into two compartments; above and a drawer In the' smaller of the two romparthient, oeou pying about the third of tho lo.giludi-' uul dimensions of he chest, were placed a number of pieces of brass, made very thin, and designed only for the purMiso of misleading the spectators, for they were no part of Uie maehluery by which' the moves of the game were effected. In the other compartment were also similar pieces of brass, representing tquadranis and other philosophical instruments, intended, Has in the previous instance, to give tho impression that they conduced to the working of tho automaton.

'The two compartments com-'miiniealed with each other hv means of a sliding panel, but so carefully was iit. contrived that tho partition had the appearanoo of being Immovable. The drawer, which when drawn out seemed to be he entire horizontal dimensions of ithe chest, was deceptive, as it was so constructed that it could not be tvessed back more than a foot and a half, while by a species of telescopic arrangement of the sides of the drawer it had when out tho appearance of being quite two feet six inches in depth. Behind this movable back of the drawer there was consequently an unoccupied space left which extended tho whole length of tho chest and whs more than a fool in breadth. At, theeommeneement of tho exhibition, on (very oecasiou, tho operator of the automaton sat behind 'the mock machinery of the smaller of the two upper compartments of the chest, his legs occupying tho hidden portion of the drawer.

Then the front doors of both apartments were opened, at the same time a lighted candle was placed in the larger one, so that it could be distinctly seen that the space not occupied by the quadrants and other instruments was vacant. Another candle was placed, not iu, but In front of the other apartment, which was apparently tilled with machinery. Next, after closing the doors, the exhibitor turned the automaton round, so as to show the back of the chest to the spectators. While this was being done the concealed operator moved into the large compartment, closing after him the sliding panel. In this position bo remained until the back door of the small compartment hud been opened and shut again.

Thus by these ingenious contrivances the spectators were led to believe that it was quite impossible that any one could tie hidden In the chest. As regards the Turk, seated cross-legged on the box, it was perfectly obvious that, pulling aside the fact that his body was shown to be occupied by machinery, the figure was not large enough to hold a 'human being.

MY DAUGHTEFMaV-LAW. A Mother Tells How She Came tc Leave Her Son's Home. Slie was only sixteen years old when first John brought her to (ho farm a dark-skinned, velvet-eyed girl, wilh a liflht step like that of some beautiful panther stealing over the forest leaves. 1 was preserving grapes in the kitchen, with a big while apron tied around my waist, and my hair lin ked away behind the frills of a muslin cap, when John opened the door and said to mo: "Mother, dear, hero is a daughter for you!" "A daughter!" I echoed dropping the glass jar to the ground, where it shivered into a score of sparkling piece. Tor this was the first I had heard of my son's marriage.

"John Murray what on earth do you mean?" 'Jliilu't you get my letter, he. 1 had received no letter, and I told liim so. "That is said John, fravely. "Uut I can tell you now what wrote you last week that I am mar-lied to Juliet Percy. Hive you no welcoming kiss for my wife?" Mechanically I kissed her.

but ther was no heart in the action. "Coine into the parlor, my dear," said 1. "and take off your hat arid shawl. suppose you are very tired with your journey and would like a cup of tea." Juliet d'd not answer, only looked at nie with her dark, solemn eyes. For mercy's sake, who Is sheP" I risked John, when he camu to mo out.

in the garden, where I was gathering peaches to slice, tip for tea. "Where did you meet her? Anil how did you coma to marry her in this unexpected way?" "She is the daughter of Percival Percy, the actor. He boarded at the same house where I did, and died suddenly from an overdose of morphine. She was left utterly alone and unprovided for, and I got interested in her, before I knew it." Humph!" was my comment. "Von will try to love her.

mother, for my sake," urged John, laying his hand carelessly on my sluuilibr. I could feel the sudden tears brimming into my eyes. "John," cried I. I would try to lov a cook -maid or a beggar giri, if you brought her home here, and asked me to love her. Put, it may not lie such au' easy task." Mrs.

lli-aeon Dudley came lo tea thf next day, and 1 told derail a limit it. "She seems a pretty girl enough," said Mrs. Dudley. "Hut she's such a mere child," said "and as inanimate as a block of wood. And an actor's daughter at that.

John has married her merely out of Eity, and I hope lie won't live to repeat is rash Quixotism, that's all." "Do you really mean it?" "lie's a.f good as told me so himself," said When the tea bell rang, Juliet was nowhere to be found. suppose she has gone out to the feld to meet her husband," -said I. 'These Toting married people are sc sillv. We wwn't wait lea for them, Mrs. lioilley." The meal, however, was but half over, when John emir in.

very pale, and with a set look about the muscles of his mouth which I had never before seen there. "Mother," cried tie, passionately, "what is this Ihing that you have done?" eelioed I. in amazement. "You have driven my wife away from rue!" "John!" "I met Juliet just now, hurrylngdown the road, with a bundle under her arm. She told me you had said to Mrs.

llod-ley that 1 had married her merely out of pity. She declared to mo that I was free, once and forever. 1 could not stop nor pacify her, poor, tortured child; but 1 gathered from her incoherent talk that she was going to her friend, Mrs. Hligh, who kept the New York boarding-house, (ietnie my thing, mother. 1 will follow her there at once." Hut when ho reached Mrs.

P.ligh's lio'isi; Juliet hadn't been there. And tin trace could he lifid of her anywhere. ITo came back lo the farm, looking full ten years older. "Mother," said he hoarsely, "this Is ymr work." "Oh, John! John!" was nil that I could say, as I wrung my hands in mute despair. "1 didu't mean any harm! I didn't, indeed!" "You have blighted my life!" he siid, bitterly.

"And poor, poor littlo Juliet! (iod only knows what has become of her!" can hardly remember how that nutnniti and winter passed But it was the next spring, just as the crocuses began to shoiv their emerald points throirsrh the vailing snow that covered the March world, when John fell III fif typhoid fever. And iu his delirium ho kept calling day and night for "Juliet! Juliet!" He never mentioned his mother's name; lie never oked up into my face with ryes of tender recognition; but he fancied himself looking for a lost child In the woods, and the name of that child, repealed ever and anon like a sad re-fruiu, was "Julictl" gxpresa and Ma Minnesota Kxprnas Da.J...

v1 The Ai.inmlitia utn urn ALASKA. llor the Territory Appcureil to Senator Uolph, of Oregon. Senator Dolph, of Oregon, made a trip along the Alaska coast to and north of Sitka, and says: "I was moro impressed wilh the village than with the country itself. The trip was a'delight-f ul one. Indeed.

Persons who have traveled extensively in Europe expressed the opinion that it was one of the most picturesque and enjoyable trips in the world. The journey is made by ocean steamships from Portland. The steamer makes one trip every month. By taking the Northern Pacilie Railroad to Puget Sound, that Is from Portland to Port Townsend, one avoids an ocean voyage, as he can take the steamer there, and its route thereafter is entirely by Inland channels, except crossing Queen Charlotte Sound, the passage of which Is only about threo hours long. It is only Southern Alaska that is visited by tourists.

The scenery is grand throughout the entire voyage. Mountains frequently arise abruptly from the water's edge, covered with timber and verdure to their summits. Not the least Interesting of sights aro the glaciers. The steamer during the summer usually goes into Glacier Bay, at the head of which five large glaciers reach down to the water, continually throwing off Icebergs. "My impressions of the value of Alaska were continued by what 1 saw and learned.

1 believe, owing to the numerous inland channels, islands and great rivers that the fishing interests of the I'aeilic Northwest will exceed In magnitude and value Uie fishing interests of the North Atlantic coast when-, ever there is a suflicient market for food fishes to cause their development. Codfish, salmon, herring and halibut are abundant. Codfish aro being caught at a few places for market. At several points salmon aro being pickled, lte-cently thero has been established a number of salmon canneries. Owing to the low price of salmon and expense of transportation the canneries have not been iu operation this season.

1 have no doubt but Alaska possesses great mineral resources. Mines of copper, Iron and coal have been discovered, as iwell as ledges of gold and silver-bear-'Ing quartz. There is also placer mines of both metals. "The value of the seal fisheries are generally known. The Government has teased to a California Company the small islands of St.

Paul and St. George for 000 ayear, and for each seal killed, the privilege of killing seals annually, making per revenue from these islands alone. The value of the limber of Alaska, 1 believe, has been over-esti-jiuated. The Alaska cedar Is a very valuable timber, and will lie in great demand some day for furniture and finishing lumber, but 1 fear it will only be found iu limited quantities. The whole country, as I Judge It from Southern Alaska, Is covered with less valuable varieties of pine.

I do not think Alaska will ever become an agricultural country, not so lunch on account of the coldness of the winters, for it is asserted that the weather at. Sitka during winter 'months is very little colder than Washington City, but on account of tho cool met summers and the shortness of the summer season. In fact, but a very small porlion of the Territory has suitable soil for agriculture if the climate were suitable. However, vegetables, Including cabbages, beets, turnips and potatoes, seem to thrive In Hotithern Alaska, and it Is said some kinds of grain have been raised on Cook's Inlet, north of Sitka, and some parts of the main I saw strawberries at Sitka In July, but they were Dot numerous.

Homes must be attractive to he happy homes. This does not. necessarily Imply a large expenditure of money. It Is a cause for sincere gratitude that the hut iof tho peasant can bo made bright and cheery as well as tho home of the King. 'There Is such a thing, where there is an abundance of wealth, as overdoing ornamentation and making it heavy and un-(inviting.

We have been in parlors that were ruined by a too lavish display of wealth. That is not tho way to make a homo bright. Tho lirst step in that direction is for the husband and wife to bo bright, and light hearted themselves. Hi has been said more than a million times that if the wife desires to keep her husband, she must, always bo cheerful, good natured and smiling, and that her Jiome must lie In good order, never forgetting to have his supper well cooked and hot. in other words, every time this is said, the statement seems to bo intended lobe made, that, the happiness of tho husband depends wholly upon the wife.

She must amuse the husband, and between amusing hitn and the the poor woman will often have her hands more than full, for if she has a husband that expects thus to be entertained, she will likely find him the most petulant child In the circle, and will olien ish that she hnd strength and authority enough to spank and put him to bed. It is the duly of the wife to do her part toward making the homo pleasant and cheerful, and ills the duty of tho husband to do 1isl as much as tho wife does, lie has no excuse for uot doing it. No plea of weariness is suf-lieieut. The wife is weary, too, perhaps more so than he is. It is bis duty to meet tier smiles with smiles, and her efforts to make the home one of contentment and cheer wilh equal effort.

His homo is no place for him to play tho drone in. His particular business, when be enters bis home, Is to show that ho knows that he is a member of the family and not a mere boarder. I't him relieve tho wife of all the responsibility he can, play with tho children, romp with them like a school boy, put them to bed. and rock tho cradle, if such an unwise thing as rocking the eradlo Is done in the home. If holh husband and wife will vie with each other in making the llrcside happv, they will do Justlco to each other, and take a very long step toward making a model home.

Then comes the ornamentation, that the wife will need attend to. As a rule, the husband had better not meddle with that matter, for wo am trying to make a cheerful, pretty home, aiid ornaments arranged by men would likely have almost any other result. Let the wife attend to that, and if she sets herself, about It, the effect will be pretty, however nicnger the means sho has to work with. We have of'en been astonished to see how much a woman could do iu that direction wilh scarcely anything to do with. But a money spent to aid her will bo a good invest mi tit.

Pictures nre very cheap. The chrmno is pretiy and it costs but little, and It looks iuuch better on the wall than nothing. In ft word, If you would keep the children at homo and make them contented, and Indeed if you would keep yourselves at home, do your best to make the home just, the prettiest that you cs u. II enem llurul. THE WOLF SPIDER.

The Wonderful Elastic Thread Count meted by Thla Speelea of Ariineiduna. S'kldenly aftpears on the walla dark gray fly or perhaps a beetle. It moves with wonderful quickness, but always by tits and starts, snmetimes one way and then another. All at once it darts a few inches from tho wall, and then files back again to the same spot. This action is several times repeated, and is so quick that tho creature's wings can not be seen.

I approach the wall more closely and find that tho creature la neither fly nor beetle, nor even an insect. It is a hunting spider, and, of course, has no wings. How, then, did it lly from the wall and back again I have long been familiar with these pretty and active spiders. I have often scent hem sidle cautiously toward a fly, leap upon it, and have a sharp tussle with It before it succumbed to the venomed fangs. Window sills, especially when facing southward, aro happy hunting grounds for this spider.

I had often seen spider and fly tumble together oil' the window sill, and presently tho spider return still clasping its prey. It had saved Itself from falling to the ground by spiunlng a thread as it rolled off tho sill, and was able to regain its position by climbing up the thread. But until lately I had never seen it leap from a perpendicular wall, and to all appearances fly back again. This thread affords the means hereby this remarkable feat Is performed. It Is extremely elastic, aud when the spider' has reached the end of Its leap the thread contracts and Jerks It back again, just as a child throws a ball away iroiu him and draws It back to his hand by an' India rubber thread, which Is attached to it.

How I had tailed to notice this action for so many years I can not Kven the common wolf spider will act in tho same way. I caught a glimpse of the creature crouching in the wall under the shadow of a vlneleaf, so that I could uot Identify it. Suddenly It darted from the wall and alighted on the ground at some little distance, the elastic thread causing it to describe a slow and graceful curve, just as If it bsd wings. As It darted from tho wall I out the net over It, and much to my sur prise, found that it was no Insect, but a wolf spider.

I An organ-grinder passed- through the town, and, believing be might have a stock of pennies, he was called Into the principal store, and surprised those gathered around. Ho exchanged pennies for bank notes. Ho had over a thousand more that he was willing to exchange for lighter money, Vdtsburqh 1'ust.
