and have them be satisfied.
While we continue doing business with

HEALING A BREACH.
TTOW IT did snow! How fast the
drifts collected! Miss Maynard
dismissed her scholars quite early
in the afternoon.
" Won't you come home with me,
teacher ?" asked a lad of about four-teen.
" It is nearer than your board-ing-
house. The folks there won't
worry ; they'll guess where you are."
" Thank you, Fred, but I think I'll
go home ; it isn't much further," was
the answer.
"Then you must start right off. The
snow is up to your waist almost."
" Very well; I'll go just as soon as
I finish copying this. Good-by, Fred."
Mildred Maynard bent her brown
head over her work and Wrote dili-gently
for a few minutes; then fell in-to
a reverie—not a pleasant one, judg-ing
by her face. Tbe short life of this
little teacher had not been very happy.
She was an orphan and, though not
eighteen, had taught the school at
Ronham cross loads for two years.
She was a fayorite not only with her
pupils but their parents. She had
made many friends chiei among whom
was Ross Leslie, the oldest son of a
well-to-do farmer. He became very
much attached to pretty Mildred, and
when she went to her uncle's house for
the Summer vacation, though there
was no engagement between the two,
they were devoted to each other. And
then, she knew not how, trouble came
between them, and she returned to her
school in September with a heavy
heart, wondering what had caused the
change in Ross. By and by she learn-ed
that Sarah Maynard, her own
cousin, had made assertions concerning
her which were not true, though Ross
thought them so, and as she was too
proud to explain that she was not the
coquette he considered her, the pair
had drifted further and further apart
till they were as strangers.
She awoke from her reverie with a
start, and hurriedly dressed for her
journey home.
" Why, how deep the snow is !" she
exclaimed, as she stood upon the step
and locked the door preparatory to
leaving.
Before she had waded through that
mass cf solid whiteness for a distance
of three rods she saw clearly that it
would be impossible to reach her board-ing-
house. As she turned her face
from the biting wind she thought:
" I must go back to the school-house
wait for some team and beg a ride
home."
Back she went, and at last reached
the littla edifice. She put more wood
on the dying fire and sat by the win-dow
to watch.
Three, 4, 5 o'clock, and no one came
in sight. Just as the short day was
closing she saw slowly approaching a
tall figure so covered with snow as to
appear immense; it was with the great-est
difficulty that he stood before that
fearful storm. Time after time he
stumbled, stopped for breath, then
went slowly on again.
As he passed the school-house he
halted and gave a sudden look towards
the window, the snow was apparently
blinding, for he seemed not to s6e Mil
dred's face close to the pane, but in
that glance she recognized Ross Leslie.
" He could help me to his father's
house/' she thought, " but rather than
ask him I'll stay here till morning;
I'm not afraid."
Putting aside her outer garments
and again adding fuel to her fire, she
sat by the stove in the darkening until
nightfall. She was not timid. She
was warm and comfortable, and could
easily go until morning without food,
for her dinner had been a good one
and she had a few apples in her desk.
She felt lonely, however. Dimly
through the snow she saw the lights
in the big Leslie farm house and im-agined
the family grouped around the
open fire, reading and singing and en-joying
the comforts of home while the
storm raged outside, and she sat alone,
her only light a gleam from their win-dows.
But Mildred was brave, and she sat
there patiently until, feeling tired and
sleepy, she found a heavy buffalo robe
left by some sleighing party which had
used the school-house for a dining-place,
made a warm bed on a settee,
and, wrapping her cloak around her,
was soon sound asleep. Her rest was
very peaceful in that lonely place, and
she did not waken until daylight.
Still it stormed. Huge drifts filled
neighbors
the little yard. The snow was level
with the windows, and Mildred looked
anxiously out over the wide expanse
of whiteness.
All day the storm raged. The apples
served for both breakfast and dinner
Snow, obtained through a broken win
dow pane, satisfied her thirst somewhat,
but towards evening she became
hungry and the second night's rest
was broken ; she felt faint and weak
from lack of nourishment.
Thursday morning dawned clear and
bright. The room was becoming very
cold. - The wood was kept in a shed
now out of her reach on account of the
heavy drifts of snow against the school-house
door. She sat with the buffalo
robe over her shoulders, and, despite
her efforts to be courageous, furtively
wiped the tears from her eyes.
She knew, well that the
would soon break the roads, and felt
certain that before night she would be
liberated, but she was so cold and hun-gry
! Those dreary hours of tbe sleep-less
night had told upon her fortitude.
All the morning the men and boys
had worked on the drift-filled roads,
and at noon, when the tired oxen stop^
ped a little beyond the Leslie home,
the men decided that it was unneces-sary
to go further. The school-house
was the only building for some distance
and there would be no need to opeu it
before Monday ; so ihey thought it best
to leave that part of the route tilflater
and finish up the stage road over
towards the village.
Fred Leslie Jiad worked with his
father and elder brother all the morn-ing
and was now sitting by the kitchen
fire drying his clothes and • warming
two very o ld feet on the hearth.
Dr. Brown, finding the way made
fit to travel, had managed to come
over to have a chat with his nearest
neighbor.
" When will the teacher try to open
the school ?" he asked.
"Isn't she at your house ?' quickly
asked Fred.
" Of course she isn't. You know
she couldn't have got there if she tried
on Tuesday afternoon, and I guess she
wasn't anxious, with this house so
much nearer," he answered with a
laugh.
Into the shed, where Ross was get-ting
the wood for the evening's supply,
hurried Fred. His older brother
glanced at him kindly and said :
" Yuu have worked too hard to-day ;
you are pale as a ghost."
" Ross," said Fred, " the teacher
must be in the school-house or lost or
something. The doctor thinks she is
here."
' What! Willy ? In the school-house
? She wouldn't stay there alone !"
"How could she help it? I only
hope she dida't try to go to the doctor's
and get frozen to death," with a choke
in his yoice. " I tried to make her
come home with me, but she wouldn't.
What shall we do, Ross ?"
'Do? Find her quickly ! Uncle's
yoke of steers are in the barn. We
will t ike the drag and I guess we can
reach the school-house before dark."
"Those boys like breakin' roads, I
guess," said the doctor. "They are
going to finish to the school-house all
alone."
Like it ? The young men, if they
live to be one hundred years oil, will
never forget that job of "breaking
roads."
" Ob, I hope she didn't start far the
doctor's and " began Fred, as they
shovelled their way along, urging the
floundering cattle the while.
" Fred," sternly said Ross Leslie,
"don't say that again. You'll kill me!"
And the boy, looking in the anguish-ed
face of his brother, thought of the
poor chance Sarah Maynard would
have if they found the teacher all
right.
Mildred, shivering, walked up and
down the aisles of the little room. In
the distance she saw the men and boys
as they worked their way along. She
watched them as they seemed to halt
at Mr. Leslie's and wondered if it
meant hot coffee and doughnuts for the
cold and tired laborers. But she turn-ed
yery pale when she saw the oxen
headed towards the village and realized
that she was to be still left alone.
Slowly came the two rescuers, un-noticed
by the poor girl who had flung
herself upon a settee and buried her
head in the thick fur of the buffalo
skin.
" The door is locked on the inside,"
said Ross. " She must be there."
Fred reached up, pushed aside the,
obstructing snow upon the window sill
and peered into the room. As she
heard voices Mildred raised her head
and looked directly into the face of the
lad. With a smile of more than wel-come,
she rose and went slowly to the
door. Her limbs were unsteady, part-ly
because they were so cold and dart-ly
for the reason that she was excited.
" I'll open the door, Fred," said she.
How sweet that voice sounded to
one of the party outside.
The key worked hard, but she at
last turned it, and at the click of the
lock an avalanche of snow entered, foL
lowed by the tall forms, almost as
white, and Mildred was quickly caught
in the arms of—not her pupil, but his
big brother.
"Oh, Milly, I was so alarmed ! We
were not sure that you were here."
" Where did you think I was, Ross?"
" I thought you might have tried to
reach the doctor's and "
" Why, Ross! Crying ?" With a
flash of color in her cheeks she kissed
the lips so near her own. " I am not
lost, I am here, and nothing ails me
except that I'm cold and hungry."
" Fred says that he tried to make
you come to our house with him and
you refused. Won't you come with us
now, you poor, frightened little girl ?"
I was not at all frightened, I was
lonely and hungry. Of course I will
go home with you. I'll do anything
for you, Ross."
" Ah, Milly, I shall remember that
sweet promise !" said young Leslie, as
he helped the girl to don her wraps
and prepare to accompany them home.
It was not an easy journey, for Mil-ly
was weaker than she knew on ac-count
of her long fast, but with Fied
in charge of the team and a pair of
strong arms to carry her when the
drifts were too deep, she reached the
farmhouse at last and was soon in the
motherly care of good Mrs Leslie, who
knew just what to do for the wornout
damsel.
The remaining weeks of that school
term were very happy one for the
teacher, but before another season
came round the School Board was
obliged to secure another occupant for
the school house at Ronham cross
roads.
Fred Leslie said to his new sister,
as they watched the driving snow one
evening:
" Milly, when Boss and I broke the
road from here to the school-house last
year I knew that your cousin Sarah's
chances were gone up."
"Then," said Mildred, with a smile,
I must thank you and the snowstorm
for a very great happiness."
Pood for Thought.
Look out, and not in.
Look forward, and not back.
Ignorance is a prolonged infancy.
Necessity never made a good bar
gain.
Originality is simply a pair of fresh
eyes.
The man with a long head is rarely
headlong.
Coarse kindness is at least better than
arse anger.
Proud hearts and lofty mountains
are always barren.
He that is in your power is under
your protection.
Magnificent promises are always to
be suspected.
Gravity—the body's wisdom to con-ceal
the mind.
Break down the roof; let God in on
your daily life.
Who gives a trifle meanly is meaner
than the trifle.
Energy, love and faith ; these make
the perfect man.
Ask for the new life as the only real
release from death.
It is less pain to learn in youth than
to be ignorant in age.
A mob is the scum that rises upmost
when the nation boils.
Frequently the curses of men bring
the blessings of Heaven.
The methods of living are manifold ;
the principle of life is one.
We should be glad simply for the
chance to do our little share.
I beg you to take courage; the brave
soul can mend even disaster.
Reverence, however sweet, always
costs more than it is worth.
Great good is often unaccomplished
because it is not attempted.
He who seems not to himself more
than he is, is more than he seems.
He who is most charitable in his
judgment is generally, the least unjust.
People of a lively imagination are
generally curious, and always so when
a little in love.
Root and Branch,
the poison in your blood, however it may
have come or whatever shape it may be
taking, is cleared away by Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It's a
remedy that rouses every organ into
healthful action, purifies and enriches
the blood, and through it cleanses and
invigorates the whole system. Salt-rheum,
Tetter, Eczema, Erysipelas,Boils,
Carbuncles, Enlarged Glands, and the
worst Scrofulous Sores and Swellings,
are perfectly and permanently cured by
it.
Unlike the ordinary Spring medicines
or sarsaparillas, the " Discovery " works
equally well at all seasons. All the year
round and in all cases, it is Guaranteed,
as no other blood medicine is. If it ever
fails to benefit or cure, you have yonr
money back. You pay only for the good
you get.
Isn'tit safer to say that no other blood-purifier
can be " just as good ?"
If it were, wouldn't it be sold so ?

The New Reading Terminal Station
One of the sights of the Quaker
City is the handsome Terminal Station
of the Philadelphia & Reading Rail-road,
at '1 welfth and Market streets
which is now fully thrown open to the
public and is without exception the
most beautifully appointed railway
terminus in the world. The interior
decorations are simply superb.. Not
only are they designed, on a scale of
grandeur, but they are conspicious for
exquisite taste and comfort. The
lower floor entrance lobby is handsome
and roomy, with concrete floor and
panelled ceiling. A broad stairway
and rapid and roomy elevators lead to
the waiting rooms above at the level
of the elevated tracks. The ticket
offices on the first floor are the most
conveniently arranged in the country,
and are the result of the experience of
General Passenger Agent Hancock
and his able lieutenants. The screens
of grill and brass work inclosing the
ticket offices are artistic to a degree
that is seldom seen in a public build-ing.
But the waiting rooms, restaurant,
etc., on the second floor are the feature
of the structure. They are so daintily
decorated and sumptuously furnished
that they resemble more the audience
halls or reception rooms of some
potentate's palace than the public-waiting
room of a railroad company.
Inlaid flooring, velvet carpets, great
easy chairs, nickel plated steam pipes,
marble furnished lavatories, rich and
elegant hangings and daintily tinted
walls and frescoed ceilings, make a
combination rarely seen except in the
palaces of the wealthy and great. The
Reading Terminal Station is in every
respect a pleasant su-prise to the pub-iic.
Gentlemen who have travelled all
over thé world, state that new stution
contains the finest waiting rooms on
the face of the globe. Philadelphia is
naturally proud of the new edifice as
it is far in advance of anything of a
similar kind in this country or abroad.
Its ornamentation and its handsome
furnishings are an attraction to many
thousands of visitors, and an object
lesson in decorative art. The upper
part of the building is used by the
executive and clerical force of the
Company, and nearly all the various
officials have already occupied quarters
therein. The building is one of the
sights of the city.
No Supposing.
A woman at least fifty years old
was selling popcorn and candy on a
ferry-boat the other day, when a man
who had invested a nickel in her goods
bluntly inquired :
" Aunty, are you a widow ?"
" I am, sir," was the prompt reply.
" Perfectly free to marry again, are
you ?"
"Yes, sir."
" In case the right man came along,
I suppose—I suppose—"
What d'ye mean, sir?" she de-manded,
as he hesitated. " If you in-tend
to make a proposal, go ahead ; if
it's another cake of sugared popcorn
yer want, here's the same. I'm a busi-ness
woman, sir, and I have no time
for supposin' cases !"
Something to Eat.
The tramp was getting desperate,
for he had.i't had anything to eat for
a day and nothing to drink for twice
as long.
"Can't you give a hungry man
something to eat ?" he inquired of the
girl who opened the kitchen door.
" No, I can't. We don't feed tramps
here," she responded crossly.
"But I'm dreadful hungry," he
urged.
" I don't cafe if you are. You de-serve
to be and if you don't get out I'll
set the dog on you."
" Got a dog ?" he asked anxiously.
" Yes, we have."
"Is he big?"
" He's big as a calf."
The tramp began rolling up his
sleeves.
" Set him on," he said eagerly, " I'll
eat him," and the girl yielded and gave
him his dinner.

Light Creates Sound.
One of the most wonderful discover-ies
in science that has been made with-in
the last year or two is the fact that
a beam of light produces sound. Ac-carding
to Milling, a beam of sunlight
is thrown by a lens on a glass vessel
that contains lamp black, colored silk
or worsted, or other substances. A
dish, having slits or openings cut in it,
is made to revolve swiftly in this beam
of light so as to cut it up, thus making
alternate flashes of light and shadow,
on putting the ear to the glass vessel
strange sounds are heard so long as
the flashing beam is falling on the ves
Recently a more wonderful dis-covery
has been made, A beam of
sunlight is caused to pass through a
prism, so as to produce what is called
the solar spectrum or rain. The disk
is turned and the colored light of the
rainbotv is made to break through it.
Now, place the ear to the vessel con-taining
the silk, wool or other ma-terial.
As the colored lights of the
spectrum fall upon it, sounds will be
given by different parts of the spectrum
and there will be silence in other parts.
For instance, if the vessel contains red
worsted, and the green light flashes
upon it, loud sounds will be given.
Only feeble sounds will be heard if the
red and blue parts of thé rainbow fall
upon the vessel, and other colors make
no sound at all. Green silk gives
sound best in red light. Every kind
of material gives more or less sound in
different colors, and utters no sound in
others.
Simple Words the Best.
The following little story is told of
a citizen of Port Chester, N. Y., whose
education was somewhat superior to
his wife's, a fact regarding which she
was very sensitive.
On one occasion the man drove over
to White Plains to inquire regarding
the health of his sister-in-law, who was
dangerously ill. Upon returning he
was met by his wife, who asked of her
sister's condition.
" She is convalescent," replied the
man.
Immediately and in the most em-phatic
manner the woman cried out;
" I want none of your soothing words.
I want facts. You tell me this minute,
Is my sister dead or alive ?"

Mammoth Turbine Wheels.
The turbines for the Niagara Falls
power plant are properly two wheels,
one above the other, each 61 feet in
diameter and 18 inches high. Be-tween
the two the huge penstock comes,
which is 7} feet in diameter, revolving
both wheels simultaneously on a tubu-lar
steel shaft 3 feet 2 inches in diame-ter
and 147 feet high. The upper end
of the shaft is connected directly with
the dynamos at the top of the pit.
The turbines, operated in this form,
arc kept balanced by the force of the
water feeding them, above the bottom
step or stool of the shaft, and thus
there is no danger of the shaft, through
friction, getting hot and burning out.
The cost of the construction complete
was $50,000 and the estimated cost of
each wheel in position in the pit is $¡60,-
000. Their total weight in position,
including shaft, is 500,000 pounds.
The steel frame-work of the power
station is now nearly completed and
the hoisting apparatus, a huge electric
crane, will be up during the coming
week.
The Iioss a Million.
The building in Pittsburg owned
and occupied by the Chautauqua Lake
Ice company and the Pittsburg Stor-age
company, a structure seven stories
high, was burned on Friday. The
warehouses of the Hayaler Storage
company were damaged by the flames
and a number of tenement houses were
crushed by the falling walls. The loss
of the ice company and the storage
company is estimated at about a mil-lion
dollars. A number of persons
were burned and injured, but none
atally.
A Babe's Charmed Jjife.
The two-year-old daughter of Mrs.
Irom Stitzel, of Shoemakersville, Pa.,
on Friday morning toddled out through
the gate, and with her little dog sat
down upon a tie on the Pennsylyania
railroad track. Suddenly an express
train darted from a deep cut above,
and engineer Paxson was horrified
when he saw a few rods ahead of his
rushing locomotive the little girl with
golden-lined hair. Like a flash the
brakes were set, the wheels of the
snorting engine reversed, but too late.
The child was struck and the train
stopped. Engineer Paxson, white-faced
with fear, jumped from his cab
and ran where the baby lay. Instead
of a corpse, as he expected to find, he
picked up the child, who was scarcely
scratched. Her hair had been caught
by the flying wheels, but her head had
escaped. The little one's mother cried
for joy when she got her tiny daughter,
and many of the woman passengers
who had dismounted joined Mrs.
Stitzel in weeping. ' And the baby
wept because her dog was cut in two.

; but was again prostrated twenty-two
months ago—this time with a
spinal disease so serious as to throw
him into convulsions every time he
was moved in his bed.
Two days ago, pursuant to his an-nouncement
that the Lord was about
to answer his prayers and cure him,
Mr. Pyle arose from his bed, dressed
himself and walked about the room.
Since then he has been rapidly mend-ing.
