ON THE DOORSTEP.

MISS CAMPBELL was from Philadel- phia, And she did not approve of sit ting out on the front doorsteps. Even on hot August evenings, when every sensible person on the avenue was out in the open air, wooing whatever breezes there were to be found, she sat in solitary state in het stuffy little bedroom or in the boarding house parlor. It is a serious thing to be a consistent martyr to one's principles.

One day Miss Campbell read in the after- noon paper that the extreme heat had driven fashionable London to its doorstep! -that even within the sacred precincts of Mayfair "doorstep parties" were the thing, sinoked cigarettes and drunk their cooling beverages out doors, regardless of the pass ing crowd. That eyening, driven to it by a longing for fresh air, Miss Campbell de cided to be English. It was a good time fot her venture, for she was the only one at home. Most of the boarders had gone to the park; the rest were bicycling. She had the doorstep to herself. Really. it was not so dreadful, after all. The kind'y dusk hid all but the light waists or gowns of the women on the steps opposite, while the men were distinguishable-only by the sparks at the ends of their cigars. With a little thrill of self-congratulation Margaret Camp- bell realized that no one would know that she had departed from her principles.

Her principles had been the talk of the locality so often, and she was so highly re spected because of them that she would not have liked to have people know she wat sacrificing them for the sake of a few cool moments upon the doorstep. Her neigh bors might take her to task for the ad- vice she had given them in the past, and she did not wish them to know.

"I suppose I am old-fashioned," s thought, "John used to say that when 1 was only 20, and ten years of lonely life have hardly improved me."

The warm breeze fanned her cheek. She settled herself comfortably hack on the cushions that she had brought from her room and lazily watched the phantomlike | passersby. Troops of laughing girls and boy! hurried along the sidewalk, followed by lover-like couples, creeping as though to retard happy moments spent together. Bi- cycles swept silently past in the street, their lamps flashing like gigantic fireflye; car riages rolled by, heralded by the muffled hoof heats of their horses; and, from time to time, automobiles whizzed by, weirdly. A solitary man came slowly up the street. He stopped at the foot of the steps and then sat down not far from Margaret. "Do you mind my smoking?" he asked, barely turning around.

Miss Campbell started; the voice seemed curiously familiar. "Not at all," she re- piied a little stiffly, "it will keep away the mosquitoes." Then she felt herse.f blushing at the foolishness of the remark, for there were ho mosquitoes to be kept away. Ten years ago, ope happy, never to-be-forgotten summer, she had been often asked that question, and had made the same rejoinder, much more appropriately.

The man did not look at her while he lighted his cigar, and she. absorbed in To know one's own mind is the nearest branch of knowledge and yet thought, missed the brief illumination of his features which followed the kindling of the match. There was a long silence, broken often the last to be acquired .- Itam's

only by the newcomer. "Rather cooler." said he, as though continuing a conversa- tion.

"Yes," answered Margaret, still more puz złed by the voice. This was not one of Mrs. Lee's hoarders, She must hear him speak again. It was not right that a stranger should make her treinhle En

"Were you ever at Long Branch?" she asked abruptly.

The man turned toward her, and she could feel that he tried to penetrate the darkness and see who it was that was spenk. ing. Margaret was not the only one who had been agitated by a voice. Her heart beat almost audibly.

"Margaret, is it you?" he cried.

"Yes, John." she answered, with strange self-possession. She noted this herself, and inarveled that she shonid do so at such a moment. llow coubl she Think about how she was speaking when she had not seen him for ten years. "How camne you here?" "I came up the wrong steps," John nu- wwered, slowly. "I am glad, since they have brought me, to you."

Broken Bric-A-Bracs.

Mr. Major, the famous cemeut man, of New York, explains some very interest ing facts about Major's cement, The multitudes who use this standard article know that it is many hundred per cent. better than other cements for which similar claims are made, hut a great inany do not know why. The simple reason is that Mr. Major nses the hest materials ever discovered and other man- ufacturers do not use them, because they are to expensive and do not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs $3.75 a pound, and another cost $2.65 a galloti while a large share of the so called ce are nothing more than 16 cent glne, di solved in water or citric acid, and in some cases, altered slightly in color and odor by the addition of cheap and useless materials.

ENGINEERING NOTES.

The tensile strength of a wet rope is only one-third the strength of the rope when dry, while a rope salurated with grease or soap is wenker still. A cap unt lock for propellers has been invented by Capt. Lewis Davis, of Liverpool, and is intended to prevent the loss of bindes at sea. says the En- gineer.
