I were boys. *
We learned to sta*-*-' together on the creek nt

Together   gathered    walnuts   from    the  trco

As partners trapped tho red-bird, ashed together In tta brooks.
And joined to gather scrap-iron to exchange for
lines and heeke;
Collaborated os the spoil of marble-playing

And on tte autumn Saturdays we trumped o'er

And emulated Daniel Boone from morn to set

SUSCEPTIBLE RAFAEL.
Prot Middlemlst's Pilla Cure  Him
of a Sorious Ailment.
"I did hope—I   really  did  hope  It
would have been different, Prof. Middle-artist," said Rafael Amato deje<**tedly.   I
"Yoa yourself told me, you know, that
It would be all right; and I had every   ,
confidence in you.    But here I am only   i
a month married, aad It's coming* baek   '
almost a > bad as  ever—and of course,
considering the circumstances, a great
deal worse.    What under Heaven am I
to do?"
-"Tou care nothing more aboat her,
eh?" said the - professor, in his deep,
booming voice
"But I do care for her, yon see!" ex-
claimed the young man. "I think
there's nobody Uce her. If I didn't
care, I shouldn't mind; bnt that's the
troubler* ■
"Who ever heard," snorted the professor, "of a tpan who cared for his
wife falling in love with another
woman?"
"Then It _f*us, I feared—I am unlike
other mon," rejoined Rafael, with a
sigh. "That's what my poor dear
mother always used to tell me. I'll
tell you the way it seems to me. It is
as if all women were only one woman;
various versions of one woman, yoa
know. And sinoe I'm in love with the
woman, of coarse I cant help being in
love with all the versions."
"What! Uffly and pretty alike?"
"Oh, bo! only the pretty ones. The
ugly ones don't count. They're a sort
of mistake. I don't exactly look at
them."
"Do you consider Verinda pretty or
ugly?"
"Why, pretty, by all means! But tf
she were tho prettiest woman in the
world—and I do believe she is—still
she's only one version. If I never saw
anyone else, or tf there were no others,
1 shoald be safe. But as it is, something li appens every time I go out!"
"Rafael, my boy," said the professor,
sonorously, "nothing is so bad as
half a philosophy. Your thsory th at
all women are bat manifestations of
the ono everlasting* woman is sound
enough. But Is it not also true that all
women are contained In each individual
woman—-for him who loves her? That
■precious seeing whi ch love, as the poet
says, lends to the eye, should enable
you to discover ln Verinda the sum and
essence of all the fascinations of her
sex."
"Yes, bot leant help remembering
that she is Verinda all the time," Rafael
answered, shaking his head; and after
a moment's pause he added: "I dont
think it would be right for me to forget
it.   I am not a polygamist."
"Rafael," declared tbe professor, emphasizing* his words with solemn uplifted forefinger, "you are the victim of
a deluding and erroneous tradition.
Marriage is not a captivity. It is an
emancipation. As your eyes ight endows
you with the visible universe, so in the
person of your wife yoa are possessed
of womankind Your onion with her ls
a type—"
"But, professor, all this does not heal
my susceptibility," Rafael ventured to
interpose. "The situation is this: I
love woman and I am married to a
woman. In so far as she is woman, I
love her, too; bat, in so far as she is my
wife—"
"Rafael!" exclaimed the professor,
warnlngly.
"In so far as sbe ts my wife," repeated the yb*3n"g man, sadly bat firmly,
"I feel as if she were below par. IIow
can a man desire what he already has?
It is what he has not that allures him.
Were I to lose Verinda I shoald be inconsolable, and shonld forget all others
ln serving her; but, as there is no prospect of her getting lost, I am in danger of forgetting her In seeking after
all the others."
"Dnhappy boy! you are Indeed per-
▼erted,"- said the professor,  removing
his spectacles and robbing the glasses
on a corner of his bandana. "You
*.rgue in a vicious circle, whence is no
exit Yonr wife, in oider to be your
wife, must cease to be yonr wife! Yon
are an irreclaimable idiot."
"Xot irreclaimable, Prof. Middle-
mist," rejoined Rafael, earnestly; "for
you are the wisest of men, and I am
confident that you know a medicine to
cure even such an idiot as I."
"Humph! You really flatter me,"
grunted the professor, stroking his
beard. "I dont altogether share your
confidence; bat I know your father,
and for his sake I am willing to do
what I eaa. Let me see!" He opened
a cupboard in the table near which he
was seated, and took out a tin box. On
being opened it proved to be a medicine
chest, containing small phials similar
to those used fnr homeopathic medicine. He put on his glasses and examined one phial after another, pausing for a moment at one labeled "zalo-
typus."   But he replaced It.
"It is a very odd remedy," he muttered, "baft, from what I know of Verinda, I doubt if lt could be made effective in your case. She is as guileless as
a wild rose, and imagines there is baft
pne man in the world. Xo. 1 think I
will make experiment with thia nostrum otjoy own invention. lft is a
iespej*n\e remedy, imsLUai j» v ef __}?.
If.od "befordf bnt It will care yo« if yoa
aro curab'.j; you are morj fool than
U-.v.ve and that it in your favor."
Thelittl.* bjttle which ho now took
up was.fall of small pills, each as big as
a dode shot, ami of a high pink color.
The professor put some of then into a
tiny paper pill box, and handed them to
Rafael.
"Lot her take one every morning
'.after breakfast," said he. "If there is
no improvement by the end of the week
ift*k a benclit."
'  *'I!ut it is I who  am the  patient, not
Verinda!" said Rafael.
"It is through her that you must be
cured, if at all," the other replied; "and
ill prescribing thein to Verinda I am
paying her the highest compliment ever
offered to a woman. Bat she will never
know it, and if she did it would make
no difference. Xow b _ oIT, and dont
let me see you again till next week!"
do saying, Prof. Middlcmist resumed
his book, and Rafael departed.
"Of course I'll take it darling, If you
wish me to," said Verinda, the next
morning, "bat I never felt better in my
life. There!" and she swallowed it,
with an undulation of her lovely white
throat that prompted her husband to
kiss it. Then he looked at her but could
perceive no effect from the drug. Ai
least it was to the kiss that he ascribed
the brightening of her eyes and the
flushing of her cheeks.
"I believe she does look prettier," he
said to himself; "but after all she Is
still Verinda—and I am I!"
"You'U be back to dinner, won't
you?" she said, with her soft hands on
his shoulders. "Bat I know yon will,
because I know you love me as much aa
I love you. If I had never met you: I
never should have loved anybody.* *
Rafael concealed a guilty blush with
a forced smile. "Nonsense!" said he.
"There are dozens of men in the world
yon might have loved as well as me, or
better."
"Rafael, that is wickedl Suppose I
was to say there were dozens of women
yon might have loved. * * • Why,
what's the matter, darling? Are you
angry?"
"Don't try to jest, Verinda—it doesn't
become yoa," said her husband, gloomily. "Of course, I will think of nobody
bat yoa! The mere idea pains me.
There, good-by, my lovel Be a good
girl, and expect me to dinner."
So Rafael went away about his affairs and at noon he met a friend who
Invited him up town to lunch: "There's
a cousin of mine, a mighty pretty girl,
to be there," the friend said, "and as
you are a connoisseur, I want you to
meet her."
Here was a temptation from which
Rafael, knowing his own weakness,
ought to fly. But, after a little hesitation, he accepted his friend's offer.,
"How am I to know tf I'm cured, unless I pat it to the test?1" he argued
"If this girl is really pretty, and I dont
fall in lova with her, the professor's
medicine wfll have been successful."
So to the luncheon he went.
The cousin was not at all like Verinda. But she was very, »ery pretty;
nay, she was ravishingly beautiful—at
least Rafael thought so before he had
been half an hour In her company. At
the end of an hour, it was the worst attack be had yet had As he went homeward, at the end of the day, he was
mnch depressed. Plainly, the medicine had failed; -he was Incurable!
Whenever he tried to think of Verinda,
the image of the cousin presented itself. As he let himself into the door of
his house, he felt like a criminal.
The hallway was dark; Verinda came
dancing out of the parlor to meet him.
"What a good boy!" she cried, "you are
ten whole minutes ahead of time! You
shall have ten extra kisses! one—two— !
three—"
"Wait till we get inside," said the
unhappy Rafael, catching his breath.
"Kissing lu the dark Is no fun."
"Yoa didn't use to think so!" returned Verinda, with a little quaver in
her voice. "I shall begin to believe
you don't care to see me, If yoa—*
"Verinda!" exclaimed her husband,
desperately. They had by this time en-
tared the drawing room, and the light
from the chandelier fell full upon her
face and figure as he turned towards
her, with the purpose of confessing all
and leaving her to decide what should
be done. But, as his glance fail upon
her it became fixed in a rigid stare, hie
jaw dropped, ami his voice died away In
his throat.    What had happened?
The woman who stood before him,
dressed in Verinda's gown, and whop*
tones and ways he had but an Inatotft
before recognized as his wife's, was not
Verinda at all, but—of all people In the
world—the beautiful eousin! It waa
Incredible—impossible, of course; and
yet how is a man to reject the evidence
of his own. senses? She to whom he
had lost his too fickle heart was before
him—she, and no longer Verinda-—waa
his wife. There was the slender oval
face, the delicate patrician features, the
complexion of the magnolia petal, the
dark-fringed, languishing Andalnslaa
eye—the cousin, to a hair! He pnt his
trembling hand to his forehead and
gasped with sheer amazement.
"Why, what is the matter with yon,
Rafael?" exclaimed she, advancing
and trying to put her arms round his
neck "You look as tf you didnt know
mc.    What has happened?"
"I—I—don't feel quite well," replied
Rafael, shrinking away from her touch
"1*11 be aU right directly."
The strangest thing was, tbat although his every sense told him that
this was the beautiful cousin, some
deeper perception In his heart assured
him that it was, nevertheless, Verinda.
It was also evident that Verinda her*
self was unconscious of the change that
had come over her. And the servant,
who at that moment came In to say
that soup was on the table, was obviously unaware of any alteration In
her mistress' appearance. The transformation, then, was perceptible to
Rafael alone. With a sudden impulse,
be drew her to the tall mirror between
the windows, that she might behold
her reflection there. Their eyes met on
the polished surface; .but loi another
marvel! The reflection of the beautiful
cousin was not the beautiful cousin,
bat Verinda! Rafael was the victim of
an enchantment, which the mirror dispelled. Yet, when he turned from the
reflection to the woman herself, lt was
the cousin again!
"1 understand it nowl" he muttered,
with a shudder, "it b Prof. Middle-
mist's pills! What will become of me?"
The necessity of concealing the miracle from his wife—ff she were his wife
—was imperative; and by a violent effort he contrived to assume an outward
composure. They went into the dining-room, she leaning lovingly on his
arm. Why did he recoil from her touch?
was he not bi love with her^—with the
beautiful cousin—and should he not regard this transformation, of which only
he was cognizant, as a piece of unexampled-good fortune? to have one's wife
present the exact image otf the woman
one is in love with-r-what could be
more convenient and agreeable? and
If to-morrow, he were to meet and become enamored of some other lovely
creature, undoubtedly he would find
her In his wife's shoes when he returned home; and so on forever! If
this wouldn't satisfy a susceptible ma-fried man, what would?
"It is the most horrible f q|| that ever
overtook a man!" said  Rafael to hlmr
self, "to have another woman masquer-*
j ading as my innocent   and   preciDuV
wift—op Ifeft. ot_ig£_w§£j__*<>afc-it_» %■
Hideous profanation and sacrilegel 1
hate the beautiful cousin from the bottom of my soul, and I wish I had never
seen her, and never may again!"
"Will you hare cheese tat yonr soup,
darling?" asked the lady at the other
end of the table. Rafael looked up.
He ottered a ety of Joy. The beautiful
cousin was no longer there. Verinda
—his owa Verinda—sat beforo him.
The change In his heart had made a
change in her; no third person stood
between them any longer; and Rafael
felt a conviction and registered a vow
that no such catastrophe should ever
occur again.
"Back already," growled the professor, the next morning.
"Take back your six accursed pills!"
said Rafael. "One of them was enough
for me, and too much!"
"Better keep the rest—in case!" said
the professor.
"My eyes are opened," returned the
young man, "aad I see that there is but
one woman in the world, and that Verinda is she. And having once seen
clearly, I can never more be blind"
""Very well," said the professor, "you
know your own business, I suppose.
By the way, did yoo tell Mrs. Amato the
secret of your complaint?"
"Heaven forbid," said Rafael, turning
pale. "She shall never know It. I am
sane and seeing now; may she never
discover that I was once mad and
blind!"
"For your sake, I say amen!" said the
professor. "Bat the pills are always

HABITS OT THE GROUND   HOG.
Ms Reliability aa a Weather Prophet
Somewhat Doubtful.
It ta a fact that the prediction of tha
ground hog seems to have* often been
fulfilled, bat the prognostications of
that f arseeing beast are rendered somewhat onreliable by a variation In Its
habits from one latitude to another.
Its wisdom as a weather prophet depends upon its manner of hibernating,
and that differs according to climate.
The range of the animal extends from
Hudson bay to North Carolina, and the
period which It remains underground
depends wholly upon the degree of cold
that it finds. When the weather becomes too frigid to be comfortable, lt
disappears into Its hole, and It does not
come oat again until the temperature
has moderated. Thus, in the far north
it remains dormant all winter long,
probably not visiting the outer air so
much as once during its period of re-'
tirement. Further south Its period of
hibernating is shorter in proportion to
the warmth, and it is probable that daring a warm winter In North Carolina it
hardly goes to sleep ta this way at all,
only seeking that method of getting
away from Jack Frost when occasional
cold snaps make it necessary. So you
see that it all depends upon the accident of latitude whether or not the
ground hog comes out of its hole on
Candlemas day and looks around for
its shadow. The popular superstition
to this effect is a very curious one, and,
so far as can be learned no one knows
from what source it is derived. Of
course, the ground hog is not a hog at
all, but a kind of squirrel.—Chicago
Journal.

TOO   MUCH    KINDNESS.
Uow   an   Honeat   Scotchman    Learned
American Customs.
A canny Scotchman who keeps a little
shop for (he sale of his national products,
wet and dry, not a thousand miles from
Ann street, New York, tells a good one
on himself.
His place is a sort of headquarters for
the officers of the State and Nation.il
line steamships when they are in port,
and they often bring their fellow countrymen here for an hour's chat in the little
basement office, with the dumb waiter
running handily up to th» place where
they brew hot water and lemon peel.
One day a raw specimen was one of
the guests. He had just come over, and
was delighted to find that real Scotch
groceiies could be got in a foreign place.
He was not used to the American style
of treating, and when the proprietor
passed a box of cigars to him he thanked
him qolitely and declined.
"Go on," said tlie proprietor,encouragingly, "help yourself. It won't cost yon
a penny."
"Von't cost me a penny?" said the
stranger, wonderingly.
"Not at all, mon. We the custom of
the country."
"Weel, weel, who'd a thocht it? This
is too much kindness."
And the big hand of the stranger closed
around half the cigars in the box. As the
bunch went into his pocket a laugh went
np from the steamship officers. The proprietor acknowledged that the drinks
were on him, and the innocent stranger
went away with a very high regard for a
country so filled with kindness.—[New

STORY OF A WRECK.
Poor Me.
The custom of pinning papers on the
clothing of unsuspecting persons forms a
venerable April fool joke. In fact, it ta
so timeworn and shows so Uttle inventiveness that one ta occasionally surprised
at finding it still considered fanny.
Sometimes, however, even so ancient
a pleasantry takes an unexpected turn.
A little boy was deftly pinning a bit of
paper to an old gentleman's coat, when
the latter suddenly turned, saw him, and
laid a detaining hand on his shoulder.
"What's that you're doing ? " he asked
gruffly. "What are you putting that
piece of paper on my coat for?"
"For—for an April fool, sir,"stammered the boy, too much confused to
evade the question,
The gentleman suddenly marched him
along to a mirror in a shop window.
"There," said he, "look at your own
back."
On the boy's jacket was pinned a paper
of startling size, which certainly must
have rustled audibly as he walked.
"Who did I understand you to say was
the April fool?" inquired the gentleman
politely; and the boy opened his lips for
one word, more humble than grammatical, "Me."

Hia Little  Dot and Yet Not Hia
Own Child.
"You will be playing Juliet before
yon are twenty, little one," I said, as
Dot came running into the greenroom
one evening.
"By Jove! she it great," said another.
"Best actress in the company and
minds her own business, too," said the
crusty old stage manager. The exclamations, mingled with caresses, were
showered upon the head of one of the
brightest and cleverest child prodigies
who are playing upon the stage to-day.
Little Dot had just come off the scene.
She .was a great success In the playj
that was running at the Amphlon at
that time, and her performance that
evening seemed even better than usual.
A big roun 1 of applause attested the
appreciation of the audience, and when
she came Into the greenrcom to kiss1
papa good-night before going home
with her nurse she was warmly greeted'
by every one there, for we all loved the
dear little girl as well as admired her
genius. Dot's father was Gus Mervin,
the low comedian of the theater. They
made a strange contrast, these two.
Gus was short and very stout. His
beardless face, lined and wrinkled by
the contortions that had amused the
publie for twenty-five years, loose,
ugly mouth and sandy hair, could never
have possessed any claims to beauty,1
while the child was very lovely with'
her big, hazel eyes and golden brown
bair.
"Good night, my little one,'-' Gus said,
running his red fingers through Dot's
crisp curls; "sleep soundly, and don't
dream of new parts."
"I love to dream of new parts," said
the child "Papa, shall I really play
Juliet when I am twenty?"
"You won't If yoa don't grow," replied Gus, laughing, "aad tf yon don'|
sleep, you won't grow, so run along
with Susan." So Dot after kissing us
all good-night was wrapped up In her
fnr coat and carried away by her careful nurse.
"All ready for the third act,"
screamed the call boy and the scramble
for "props" and places began.
Neither Gus nor I were on again until
the last act and we usually indulged in
a littie smoke and chat during oor wail
He came in my dressing-room to-night
as usual, but sat silently smoking his
pipe and gazing abstractedly at the
dingy ceiling. Gus and I were old
friends and I was used to his long fits
of silence, so I said nothing and busied
myself at my dressing table, putting
things to rights and touching up a refractory eyebrow or so.
"Frank, old man," he said at last, "I
want to talk to you about Dot."
"So, it's Dot you've been thinking
about all this time," I replied "Well,
I doat blame you, Gus. She is the
sweetest little tot I ever knew, on or
off, and by far the cleverest child in the
business. Why, it Is perfectly wonderful the knowledge that child has of
stage business," I continued, warming
to my subject. "Last night old Davy
missed an important cue and got completely rattled—couldn't think of a
word Dot was up back—business with
the flowers you know—but she walked
down stage, spoke the line for him—
which happened to be my cue—whispered the next line In the old fellow's
ear, and then turned up stage for hev
business with me. I don't believe a soul
la front noticed anything wrong but
Dot saved that scene and perhaps old
Davy's position for him. You would
think she had been playing ten yeara
Instead of ten months."
"That is true," said Gas, "she needs
but little teaching."
"There's where blood tells." I continued; "ahe has got your twenty-five
years of hard work behind her, and I re-
mem ber your wife before Dot was born.
Poor A lice was one of the prettiest and
neatest soubrettes In the business. She
waa= a great loss to the stage, old man,
as well as to you, but she has given us
Dot in her place."
"Frank, old friend, I am going to tell
you something. Dot is not my own
child or poor Alice's either, for that
matter. It Isn't a very long story and
I wiU tell it to you to-night If yon've
time to listen."
"Oo ahead," said I, closing the door.
"The aet isn't half through yet."
"You remember my wife you say, ta
sweet, delicate, Uttle creature, too ,
fragile by half for such a life as ours.
I don't know what she ever saw In me,
but she loved me, and married me, and
I tried hard to make the rough path a
little smoother for her tender feet ta
travel.
"Money didn't coape as cosily then as
it does now, but we got along very
well. We were playing in the Orleans
the winter Dot was born, not this Dot,
but our Uttle Dot, Frank," looking up
with tears in his honest eyes.
"That was the happiest year of my
life," he continued "I was making
enough to ran the little home and take
eare of Alice and the baby.
"I tell you this life of ours teaches a
man to prize a home if he ever has one,
and if he has a wife and baby ia It and
money enough to keep things going, he
doesnt want much else in this world
"Our season closed in April and Alice
was anxious to get back to New York
Summer was coming on, and she
thought the baby would be better
north, so about the first of May we
started by rail for New York
"I remember now the strange feeling
of depression I had when leaving New
Orleans, bat I tried to throw it aside as
a foolish fancy True, we had been
very happy there, bot I had my happiness, my life, my everything as I believed with me. It took nearly a week
then to make the trip and the accommodations were not what they are now,
bot we managed to make ourselves
very comfortable. Alice was a perfect
genius at that,
"There was a sad-faced woman ln
black, occupying the berth next to us.
She was a widow, we understood, not
in very, good circumstances, and going
to New York with her baby, a little
girl about as old as onr Dot. The twe
babies were a bond of sympathy between the two women and  In a few
days she  and  Alice were  chatting together like old friends.
"One night, after Alice and baby were
soundly sleeping In their berth, I went
forward into tho smoker to have a pipe
before going to bed I had been smoking and ""engrossed with my thoughts
over an hour when there came an awful
crash. The car suddenly pitched forward and then, leaving the track, turned
over on one side. You perhaps remember that terrible accident that occurred
in West Virginia about ten years ago.
It was the old story. Some one had
blundered We were running behind
time and a local express had smashed
into the rear car.
**No one In the smoker was seriously
Injured, and, after a little, I managed
to make my way out and go in search
of my wifo.
"The sleeper was a wreck WiUing
hands were already tearing away tiie
wrecked car and rescuing the poor
wretches within. The air seemed filled
with moans and groans. Around me
they were laying down the victims,
some living, many dead—but Alice was
not among them. I joined the band of
workers and we toiled with the strength
that God only gives to men at a time
like that, tugging away at broken
timbers and releasing many a poor
soul from torture.

sprang to his side. There lay my darling wife, her white face turned up to>
mine, but fixed, unmeaning, unreeog-j
nizing. Our little one lay in her arms,,
but the tiny head was crushed and thei
child's blood had stained the mother's'
hair and face.
"Little Dot was dead, but as I placed
my cheek close to the mother's lips, I
fancied I felt a faint touch of her
breath.
"Willing hands bore them both into
the open air and laid them on a rudei
couch. Gently I took the child from
the unconscious mother's arms and laid
her, wrapped in my coat, on the soft
grass.
"By that time the work of rescuing
was about over. Help had begun to
arrive, and yet the scene if anything
was more heartrending than before..
Men were seeking for lost wives ov
striving, like myself, to rescue living!
ones. Mothers were calling for their
babies, and little children vainly asking
for their parents.
"Even in my own despair, my heart
felt another pang when I saw them!
bring forward a black-robed figure,
with a Uttle child at her breast, and'
lay them near ua The baby gave a'
Uttle frightened cry and then seemed'
to sleep in the dead mother's arms. It|
was Alice's friend and her little one.
**A reUef car und doctors arriving,;
Alice was made more comfortable and
a physician came to examine her. Il
Ured years in those few moments. Hai
turned to me and said softly: 'Sho
is injured internally, I fear. If she]
is conscious before the end, it is all we)
can hope for.'
"O, my God! how I did hope for it.
now I prayed for it! Both to be taken
from me, wife and child, without a
farewell word or caress.
"Alice lay breathing faintly for a
long time, and then the white Udsl
lifted and 1 saw once mere and for the
last time in this world the violet eyes Ii
loved so dearly.
"'Gus, dear,' she whispered, trying
to raise one poor maimed hand to her
heart. 'Where is little Dot? -Why havo
you taken my baby away from me?'
"What should I say? What could I
do? The sweet vol ce grew fainter and
the blue eyes almost closed
" 'Ons,' sho whispered, 'am I going
to leave you? Am I going to die?'
"She must have read the answer In
my face, for a faint sigh broke the fluttering breath
"'Bring me Dot," she murmured.
'Give me my baby before I die.'
"In utter despair I hid my face in my
hands, when a faint cry came to my]
ears. It came from the little motherless babe lying near us. I lifted tho
child and laid her in Alice's arms.
"The child nestled its little head con-
tendedly into the dying woman's neck
and one little hand was laid on her Ups.
Alice was very weak now, and I had aft
bend over to catch the few last words.
" 'My Uttle Dot,' she murmured..
'Our Uttle child, Ous, dear. She will
stay with you and love yoa in my
place.'
"She kissed the Uttle hand and said;
*' "Love your father. Dot. Love him
always.'
" She weakly motioned me to tako
the child, and with the baby on one;
arm and my dying wife In the other, II
lay until the gray light came into tho
eastern sky and stoloaover Alice's face.i
But the light of life was fading from
her eyes. I kissed her lips and felt hex
last breath on my face.
"My wife and child were together ia
Heaven and thero was nothing left)
for me on earth but-—I looked at the!
little child sleeping in my arms. AUce)
had given her to me, and she, Uke iJ
was alone in the world, and so she be--]
came my little daughter, and you know J
Frank, how very dear she Is to me."
Gus had finished his story. • There*!
were tears In my eyes as well as in hisj
Noble old Gus, how I admired his hon-'
est, generous, loving heart. But mem
say Uttle to each other when the tears*
begin to fall, and so, with a silent hand
shake we left the room.

Trees Can Inherit.
Prof. Giard brings to remembrance ai
large number of most interesting Ulus"i
trations in support of the Lamarckian
view that acquired characters may bo
inherited One of the most telling of
his facts is that found in the case of tho
leaves of the lime and other trees,
which bear curious malformations,
caused by the attack of mites. Theso
malformations arc inherited, even
when individual trees are protected
from the parasites in question; and, as
no one could maintain either that the
trees originally possessed the malformations or that the latter occur accidentally, the only explanation open to
us Is to hold that what was an accidental and acquired variation has been
dnly perpetuated.—Illustrated News.

A writer in a ladies' journal has a
word of encouragement for girls who!
lament having red hair. The Catlie-j
rines, who made Russia great, had red
hair; so had Maria Theresa, who saved!
Austria and made it the empire that it
is; so had Anne, ol Austria, who ruled]
France for so long; so had Elizabeth, of
England, and Catherine Borgia, as wclli

tresses had in them a glint of gold.
The Japs Springing Ahead.
The Hawaiian race has been steadily*
dwindling in numbers -tiring the pres-j
ent century, and the latest census gives)
it a population of but forty thousand, on
a decrease of one-half within a half al
century, so that its extinction must-
soon be complete. The Japanese, whoj
number forty million, are increasing,,
and it is thought they may soon replace*,
the vanishing race and re-people tho
island. ^J
