Several weeks ago I was staying down

mid the shrinking of her whole mela

little Bam who is about two ana nn
eighth yards long "Who la she? "
"Well, said he, "her mother Jcem cf
mighty good folks; she were a Burch-
fieldi hut she run oil when she s about
fo'teen an' married Searcy Blevltis, a
worthless, triflin' feller ez ever lived.
Poro Debbie Durcbfleld tuck up 'ity
poverty and hardship the day she
tmirried him, shore. She had a ulg
pnsel o' chil'n; Clarissy's tlio oldes; nil'
looks like her folks wui so sot again
Searcy, an' so plumb out o' all heart 'ot
lier fer marryin nv irn, 'et they wouldn't
do narry thing fer 'er.
When Ciarissy were 'bout oiglit year
old her uncle, Nate Burchfield, over
fo'teen mile Tin hyre In Tenu-essee,
tuck 'er 'an kep' 'er for nigh onto nine
year. He s well ter-do, Kate Jjurcuueia
is, an ho sot er heap by Clarlssy. He
dressed 'er nice nn' gin 'er tclioolin',
same ez 'is own gals.
Fore Debby seed er chance o
trouble. She'd alius had a plenty; ol'
man Ilurclifleld were almos plumb rich,
an' Ions' 'o poverty an' hard llvin, an'
Searcy gettin' drunk all tlior time, she
bruck clean down, an' seemed ter lose
all keeiiii' for ever'thing just sot over
titer far an' dipped snuff, an' never
lied 'er word to say, uuther fer nur
agin. The pore chil'n the's nine or
ten oh 'em, I reckon looked mighty
pitiful on' bad; dirty an' hongry, too, I
reckon, a heap er th' lime.
Wiion Clnrissy's risin uv 17 she kom
over, long 'o her uncle Nate, ter see her
pappy s folks, and she wouldn't never
;o back any more. She 'lowed her
place war hyer 'mong her own folks
what needed iior hep; an' 'ut she
couldn't ice' easy an, live fino when her
own mammy and the little ones was
cold nn' hougry. So she staid an'
worked like er flel' han', late an' early,
In thcr house an' out, ter he'p git the
chil'n some clo's an' sumpin' fliten fer

Searcy went over t' Johnson an' bought
er flnu buggy on' a wild young nag.
He sltirted out 'ith Ijico Byrd an'
Oyar't Ox, all crazy drunk, an' er big

tliey wits round way out on liau Creek,
the buggy were busted inter slivers,
tlio coit wero lyln dead with his ueck
biuck, an' all three o' ther men hog
drunk, and bloodied Up consid'able.
-An' so lilt went on fer a month, er
two, tell nigh ontatime fer co'te to set
over t th cove: when one nlglit 1 was
it 't Pan's t' see 'bout some turnip seed,
and Ciarissy kum in. She 'lowed she
anted to Bee Fop, an they had er right
lengthy speech in ther front house I
lieerd Ciarissy a cryin.
Whenever she left I axed Pap what
were iiilin' Ciarissy, an' lie tele me she
were grlevin hcrse f powerful over th

drunk all the time, an' peared lak ther
money were runnin'away jest lak water

mighty sensible, an' ther whole country
kums ter him fer ad-vice when the's in

counted the Binaries' lawyer in these
ports, an' er good man, too.
1 never lieerd nothln' more 'bout it
tell co'te sot, an' pappy tol' mo arter
ward how it all were.
There were ol' Searcy 'bout halt
drunk ez .use-yull an' pore Debby,
lookln' scart, an' sorter lak some pitiful
wild critter ye'v ketched. An' Uiero
were Ciarissy and Jedge Simmons: lie
were her lawyer, but he never done no
talkin'. When ther case were called
Ciarissy riz up 'side o' her lawyer an'
tol' her story. Her face were ez white
ez it kin ever be, an she o'u'do't sca'cely
talk fur 'er voice a shakln' so, an' 'er
breath a comin so short, but she went
on an tol' the jedge an' all the co'te
how pore they'd ben; how ehe'd worked
an tolled ter git Dread, an' meat, an
clo es fer the chil ua She lowed sue
often never know'd when one pone 'us
made fer 'em, wher the' nez' were
oomin' f m. Then tho money fer Deb
bie's shur uv tli' lan' kem an' looked lak
tlio r troubles wuz over. Then she jus'
choked all up, an' ther big tears rolled
down 'or face, an she sez so pitiful
it were a hard thing t say aught again
yer own, an 'twere only thlnkiu o the
little chil'n as stren'thened 'er heart to

it had ben with the money, but she
'lowed lookin' eo shamed an' sorrerful at
er paw, 'he ain't hlsse'f an' be don

should always bo wiped toward the nose,

A good plan to preserve the skin from

perfect rest four or five times a duy. No
mutter how busy oue's life is, if possi
ble to lie down forveven five minutes at
a time, close tho eyes, aud keep the face
in repose. If this is done daily it will
prevent the haggard look noticeable

Wo pride ourselves on living in an
ago of discovery and invention, and
pity our nucestors for boiug born too
soon. Yet much of this is misplaced.
The. real truth seems to be that the
ancients knew about overythluir that we
know', only tho knowledgo was not gen
erally diffused.
The learned man two or three thou
sand years ngo was so far superior to
the mi.joi Ity that he nas regarded as a
wizard, and prudently kept his learn
ing to lilmselr.
In our schools at the present day we
use "Luclld s Elements of Geometry,
writton l.y Euclid 8,200 years ago.
Euclid ulso wrote on music and optics,
autedaiin:' much which we thiuk we
discovered.
The fcldnce of optics must have been
pretty far adviinced in his day. because
we know that Alexaudor the Grout had
a copy of the Iliad inclosed in u nut
shell, and it Is quite certain that it
could not have been written without
the aid Of a microscope.
X,:iynrd found In tho ruius of Nineveh
what Sir David Brewster pronounced
to be ix "magnifying glass," and nearly
4,000 year ago the Egyptians and As
syrians oliserved the stars through a
"sliding lube," which we have reason
to believe was a telescope.
We mal:o some very fine razors at the
present day, but we oau not make any

A Non Hunting Vlr Wheat
In the works ot the Mannesmann Tube
Company iu England there is a heavy
fly wheel ingeniously designed to be ab
solutely free from any danger of burst
ing. As this wheel is about 20 feet in
diameter, weighs over 70 tons, and runs
at 210 turns per minute, it was feared
that a cast iron wheel would be unable
to stand such a centrifugal force Tbe
wheel consists of a cast iron hub," to
whtoh ore securely bolted two circular
plates or disks, of steol about 20 feet in
diameter. Round the periphery of the
wheel thus formed about 70 tons of No.
6 wire was tightly wound, thus binding
the whole securely together and making
a wheel that is practically beyond possl
bility of breakage by centrifugal power.
The olrcumferenoa of this great wheel
travels at the rate of 2,85 miles per min
ute, about three times as fast as tbe
most speedy express trains,

Tnese 'clchlids,' as they are called, are
