Pinkie Billmore sat with her face half
averted from him.
In the young man's flushed cheek, trem
bling lip and agitated manner there were
unmistakable signs of a coming outburst.
The emotion of an overcharged heart
could be crushed down no longer.
Flavius Josephus Millsap was no stranger
to the Billmore mansion. He pervaded it
three or four evenings every week, as a rule,
and oftener still as a frequent exception.
Everybody in the house, from the aged
grandmother to the kitchen lady, knew he
'.aine to see Miss Pinkie.
Even Miss Pinkie knew it, despite the
act that he had never explicitly said so.
In like manner he knew she was perfectly
willing for him to pervade the mansion, ac
cording to rule or exceptionally, though she
had never actually expressed herself to that
effect. '
Yet she sat with her face half averted
from him.
Such is the contradictory, tantalizing, ex
asperating habit of the young woman of all
climes, kindreds, tongues, ana periods of the
world's history.
Young woman! Young woman! What
an abject fool thou hast made of the wor
shiping young man from time immemorial,
even when but this is a digression.
"Pinkie" the voice of Flavius Josephus
Millsap again broke in upon the stillness
"you know what I want to say!"
"Yes," she replied, softly, "I know. You
want to tell me that this style of wearing my
hair isn't becoming to me. That's because
you're not used to seeing it. When you be
come accustomed "
"You know well enough it isn't that!"
"You want to ask me why I didn't ac

Know till after he had gone away that it had
come from you, and I thought I would wait
till I saw you "
"You know well enough it isn't that,
either."
"Then I'm sure "
"Pinkie"
He made a slight motion as if to take her
hand.
Hut she still sat with her face half avert
ed from him.
"Pinkie, why do you think I've been com
ing here for the last six months?"
Seven months," she murmured.
This was not encouraging, on the face of
it, but he went ahead:
"The fact of the matter is, Pinkie Bill
more, I have been coming here because I
can't keep away. Ever since I met you do
you believe in love at first sight? I do!
ever since I first met you I have known you
are my fate! Dearest and best "
She put up her hand.
"O, not now, Flavins! Not now!"
She still sat with her face half averted
from him.
"Why not. Pinkie? Why not? What is
the matter?"

MARKS IN CHURCHES.
Circle, Dots and Lines of Unknown
M tuning? on Ancient Walls
In England.
There are on the walls of many Eng
lish churches, particularly those of the
south midland counties, mysterious
marks, some fairly large, many very
small, that have puzzled ecclesiojogists
ever since that estimable race existed.
They are most common on the south
wall of the nave and aisles. Almost
invariably they are at such a height as
would show that they cannot have been
made by village idlers of the class who
have favored us with so many cup
marks. They fall into three main
classes: (1) a dot surrounded by one
or more concentric circles; (2) circles
containing radii, more or less numer
ous; and (3) dots arranged in squares,
sometimes connected by lines and some
times not. With regard to these last I
own I am unable even to suggest a
theory. I could give a list of things
they cannot possibly mean, but what
they do is, as "Jeames" is reported to
have remarked, "wropp'd in mystery."
The second variety I want to speak
of is the circle with radii. Sometimes
there are 12 radii, sometimes 24, some
times an odd number. Sometimes the
radii are confined to one part of the cir
cle, sometimes not. It is, confessedly,
about this variety that the interest in
wall-marks culminates. In some in
stances there can be no doubt that they
are incomplete sun-dials, though in
these cases, as at Red bourne ( Herts),
they are so unastronomically arranged
as to lead to the conclusion that our
early ancestors were as indifferent as
if they had been orientals to the flight
of time. But the majority cannot by
any stretch of the imagination have
been time recorders. No one would
put a dial in the south inner wall of a
church.
Another theory which has been start
ed is that these marks are a survival of
an ancient belief in orientation. Hut
these marks are not to be found in
Norman churches. The earliest we can
absolutely date are First Pointed. Why,
then, should a heathen belief have lain
dormant for a couple of hundred years,
at least, and then have been suddenly
and without reason revived? I desire
to reward my readers by propounding a
a brand-new theory. It is remarkable
that we do not find these circular
marks containing radii common on our
cathedrals or great fanes. Nearly all
are on the walls of obscure village
churches. We know that in building
minsters and abbeys the workmen had
plans and elevations much as they have
to-day, but that such was the case with
small and unimportant, if equally ar
tistic buildings, is highly improbable.
Yet the very regularity of design shows
that there must have been some master
mind who directed the whole building.
The theory I wish to propound is that
some at least of these wall-marks with
their varying radii were intended, if
the lines were continued, to mark such
salient points of the building as the
base or springing lines of windows, the
the elevation of a molding, of the coping-stone
of the gable, or what not.
If this should have been the intention
of the inscribers it is difficult to imag
ine any more useful guide to those who
desire, either with a view to restora
tion or for mere study, to discover what
like was an ancient church. Church

A VEGETABLE EXPLOSIVE.
It Is a Carious Kralt That Ha Been
Discovered In the Wilds
of Ilatavia.
A very curious fruit has been dis
covered growing wild in Batavia, and
a sample has been sent to a French pro
fessor of botany at Paris. It appears
to be a species of bean, resembling a
cigar in form and color, though only
about an inch in length. But it has
a peculiar characteristic which renders
it a very unique and interesting ob
ject, and this is the exceedingly ener
getic manner in which it scatters its
seeds. If one of these little fruits be
thrown into a basin of water it will rest
quietly on the surface for from two to
Ave minutes, then it will explode with
violence, hurling most of its contents
into the air with a noise and splash for
all the world like a small torpedo. It
is hardly necessary to say that this
phenomenon is caused by the pressure
of the elastic substance of its interior
overcoming the resistance of its hard
outer shell.
The fruit usually splits open length
wise. If plucked before maturity and
allowed to ripen in a warm, spot, it
opens gradually from apex to base,
making, as it were, a pair of diverging
horns starting from the same point.
If left to ripen on the plant, since the
process is quicker and the internal
moisture greater, the opening is sud
den and accompanied with a slight
noise, though this is much less than
that which takes place when it has
been placed in water. In this case the
dry but porous tissue of the surface of
the fruit quickly absorbs the liquid,
especially at the grooves caused by the
junction of the two valves or outer
shells of the fruit. The internal tis
sue being very elastic, exerts upon the
latter a tension which soon results in
th eviolent bursting already described.
The curious property of explosion is
given the little plant for the disseinina
tion of its seeds, which would otherwise
stand a poor chance of propagating its
species. Montreal Witness.
Reetstlnp; Power of Snov.
Some experiments were made recent
ly in France on the penetrative power
of bullets through snow. The results
were astonishing. The Lebel rifle rs
used, and at a distance of 160 feet the
bullet penetrated only five feet into the
snow target. A bullet from a Lebel
rifle has been known, it is said, to go
through a tree of 3y3 feet in diameter
presumably through the whole length
of the diameter; that it should pene
trate only IS inches farther into such
soft . stuff as snow seems altogether
startling. The explantaion suggested
by the experimentalists is that the ro
tating bullet picks up particles of snow
as it goes in and so gets "balled," or
blocked up. The result is jctrious
enough to encourage further experi
ment. One would like to know, for in
stance, whether a non-rotatin? ball
from a smooth bore would show better
penetration, as it should on the thcory
advanced. These are not experiments
without a practical value. A .knowl
edge of the. defensive resistance of a
jsnow wall to the impact of riilc lri'Ws
might be of the greatest value. Eocb

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
A majority of the ills afflicting people
io-day can be traced to kidney trouble.
It pervades all classes of society, in all
ilimates, regardless of age, sex or con
lition. 1
The sallow, colorless-looking people
rou often meet are afflicted with "kid
ney complexion." Their kidneys are
iurning to a parsnip color, so is their
somplexion. They may suffer from in
digestion, bloating, sleeplessness, uric
cid, gravel, dropsy, rheumatism, ca
tarrh of the bladder, or irregular heart.
You may depend upon it, the cause is
weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble
and both need the same remedy. Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Boot, the great kid
ney, liver and bladder remedy, will
build up and strengthen weak and un
healthy kidneys, purify the diseased,
kidney-poisoned blood, clear the com
plexion and soon help the sufferer to
better health.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of SwampnRoot is soon realized. It
Jtands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases, such
as weak kidneys, catarrh of the bladder,
gravel, rheumatism and Bright's Dis
ease, which is the worst form of kidney
trouble. It Is sold by druggists, in fifty

FACTS FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS.
What is needed among amateurs is
more study and thought and not so
many photographs.
Poor slides often make excellent cov
er glasses if they are free from bubbles
and well cleaned. ..Thus they are not
total losses.
Toning in photography means tint
ing or giving a slight change of color.
It might just as well be called gilding,
for in the toning bath a thin layer of
gold is deposited on the surface of the
picture.
It is a point . to bear in mind in
slidemaking that slides which are just
right for a lantern with oil light are all
wrong for the oxygen jet. Again, those
that are suitable for the latter are not
the finest for the electric light.
It is a rule of photography that
breadths of shade should if possible be
linked together by other accidental
Shadows, and the toning bath is some
times manipulated to put the desired
harmony there. This recalls the old
story of the artist who was asked what
the dog was doing in his picture.
"Why," said he, "he is carrying the
light and shade through it."
A marvel in the line of rapid pho
tography was performed in New York
when biograph pictures of the parade
of Astor's battery, taken in the after
noon, were shown the same night at
Keith's theater. The pictures, 1,000 in
n,umbr.r, were taken in 25 seconds, ten
minutes after four o'clock. They were
sent to Hoboken for development, and
were back at the theater at 9:15
o'clock. ' This is said to be the fastest
