If 1 were new te guess at the Hie histories

They forget or they did net knew,
that moving around at tbe duties of

sense , that oxerclso must be pleasur
able te be of avail; that mind and

universal at the outset of chronic rheuma
tism. Sometimes their backs ached in be
wtary iiwtty that evon appetlte wen Inter

them te take very gloomy views of lite In

rionilhe Bosten Transcript
And hew low iiorsens whticau ilovelo but
an hour or linlf nil hour a tiny le rending nnd
study, tnke due thought as te hew they can
make Iho mostet thelr llltle lelsure. They
rend In a desultory wAy whatever comes te
band, and think that if they had mere tline
ler books they would seen bocemo much
better Informed. Hut the half hour a day, If
useit In the wlsest manner, would make n
vast dlllorence In one'a mental growth as the
months and years gllde by.
An Incident occurs le molhatwell Illus
trates thin. A pretty inaldeu hair fern, grow
ing in a Itower-tie!, was glven te a young
girl, hopelessly ill with spinal disease. It
proved a thing el beauty nnd of Inoxhausll Inexhausll Inoxhausll
bie Interest, ns the dollcate, graceful fronds
came up, ene by one, Bnd slowly uncurled.
Theto was a little pet boslde the lern and
under Itsspreadiug fronds, In which grew an
alee. Hy-and-by the sick girl notlced In the
llltle pet some tiny lerns, scarce an inch
high, qulte iinllkotheinalilon-halr. Whenes
came they 7 Her Interest was aroused. Hhe
was no botanist, but she wanted te learn
something nbeut lerns. She could use her
eyts for reading but llve minutes at a tlme,
and net mero than twlce a day. A book en
rerns came te her, and anether anil auother.
rrlendn, knowing her Interest in lerun,
brought thorn te her fresh and green from
tbe wools, or sent her fresh specimen of rare
varletles gathered In distant lands. Seme
tlmes a visitor would read te her from ene of
her precious books, but only for reur or llve
minutes. " I can net remember mero at a
time," she would say, "nnd you have read
enough for me te think about for n long
time."
It is new seme years since the maiden
hair fern was given te her, and she has be
come an authority as te the spccles and cul
ture of tbe lerns, and is An enthuslast In ro re
gard te thorn. It Is true that she has beceme
educated In ene dlroctlen only, and Is nel
particularly well Informed In ether respects.
Hut is It net a great gain that she should talk
about her lerns and thelr wenderful motlied
of reproduction, awakening her listeners' In
terest and teaching them many things worth
romemberlng rather than te dwell chielly en
her pains and privations 7 It Is many years
since Bhe was able te step out of doers, but
when you are with her you de net think of
her as an Invalid, se Interested aud Interest
ing Is she.
The growth of cryptogameus plants would
net be a matter et absorbing Interest te all
persons, but the habit of reading thought theught
lully aud carefully what we read, and or re
taining It In memory, Is a great factor of
mental growth.
Unreliable Clocks.
About the most unreliable time-piece lu
this city at preaent is the court house clock.
The hands have been standing At 11.30 slnce
last Sunday, and there Is scarcely n mlnute
lntheday that some one Is nel misled, lu
tbe evening the clock Is Illuminated the
same as though It was keeping the best et
tlme. Persons who go home early In the
evening and have occasion te pass the court
house, think they are out late, and theso
whodenUcaro when they get home think
Ihey are keeplng geed hours w ben they refer
te the court house dial. The person or per
sons having charge et the clock need te be
looking alter It or the county commissioners
may be compelled te hire an assistant for
him as they have for Solicitor Hhenck.
The clock In Tomllnsen's building In Cen
tre Square Is also doing nobly. It has galned
10 minutes en the court heuse clock and lis
hands point nt 11:10, where they will likely
lemaln ler the next year.

In rear el the Pennsy lv aula freight depot, the

was broken. With the front running-gears
hanging te him the herse ran through te
