At one time of my life I was govern ed iu the family of Sir William Mor tlutinL My only pupil was his little daughter May, and both Sir William a i.d Lady Mordaunt were the kindest aod most generous of employers. My linpil was a sweet, docile child of about U years old at the time the event I am about to relate took place. Then the Inevitable "he" .appeared :pou the scene in the person of Frank (Dudley, a young brother of Lady Mor fiaunt. Frank was in tbe army and had bten in India for some time with his jcgiineot, but was invalided home for six mouths. Before that six months twas concluded Frank bad fallen des perately In love with the pretty gov erness I am a staid old married wom an now, so this is not conceit but :Viien it came to tbe croclal point 1 could not Tind it in my heart to say the little word that would make him happy. For one reason, though I liked him and iwus pleased with bis attention, I was not sure euough of my own heart to Marry blm; and for another, kind as Sir William and I.aly Mordaunt were, J did not feel by any means certain that the marriage of their young brother to a penniless governess would be alto-K-'tlier to their mind, and I was too rroud to enter any family where I should only be received on suffrance. Ie went up to London for a few weeks, anil thi iicf to go to Ireland with the vcginieiit into which he bad exchanged. When Frank had left, of course, after the fashion of my tn-x, I wished him bick ajfain. Life seemed very flat with put his siiiuiy Mnile and cneerful, kindly ways. Hut it was too late then, so I tried hard to persuade myself thrt it v:is "aTl for the lxst," and devoted my self with exemplary assiduity to tbe iMerests of my pupil. Our next visitor was Jasper Mor ilniinf. a brother of Sir William. Mr. Jas;,rr had In-en ill. suffering from nfvcr.' nu-ntul strnin nnd lirrvnn ifi- pr.-ssioii. He was not happy in bis I i.inrried lire, and It was thought the comjilcti rest and change in tbe brac ing air anil lovely scenery of our Welsh homo would be ln'iielklal in restoring ti'.m to health. Sir William and Lady Mordaunt went to town, but the former only returned with his brother, I.ndy Moivlatint having gone to Brighton for week or two with Mrs. Jasper. It was late in tiie evening when Sir William and liis brother arrived, but I own I felt somewhat seared as I caught a passing glimpse of our new visitor's Gallow, cadaverous face and wild, dark tyrx. His appearance the next morning did not tend to reassure me, more espe cially os he immediately singled me out cs the object of his especial attention, mid kept tixing his eyes upon me as I sat at the head of the table dispensing I be tea and ifl'ee In a manner which was, to say the least, slightly embar rassing. He addressed nearly all his icmarks to me, and kept paying me S'jch broad nnd unnecessary compli ments that I felt myself getting crim son, partly with vexation and partly with amusement. Sir William looked on laughingly, and ut last said: "Come, come, Jasper; this won't do; If you say so many pretty things to Miss Monroe I shall have to send for Susan (Mrs. Jasper) to keep you in or der. And. by the way, you have not to!. I me how you slept last night. I hope you were comfortable." That set him off. Slept!" he cried excitedly; "why, I never slept .1 wink all night not one llessed wink. Miss Monroe. I expressed my regret, and Sir Wil-1 Ham inquired the cause of Mr. Jasper's jisoiiinln. ) "Well. Ml tell you all about It," he j sii'.il; "but lirst of all, do you believe In the transmigration of souls?" "Certainly not,' with conviction. replied Sir William, "It is an exploded superstition. oil, is it, then 7' answered Mr. Jas per. "Well, I can tell you it is nothing of the sort, but a real, certain fact, and I'll prove it to you, and tell you why 1 could not sleep last night. Some j ears ago I knew a lawyer; be lived ! next door to me aud was reckoned a very respectable member of the profes sion. Now this man was an awful rcotiiidrel and swindler; used to get peo ple to intrust liiin with their money :o invest, and then make away with it. V.'hv. I knew three sisters for whom ii.' was trustee, and whom he complete-! ly ruined. Well, nt last this man failed j for I don't know bow ninny thousands, I and numbers were involved In his ruin, ' f-mong others the three sisters 1 bavo told voti of. Then the mau shot him- Pistols and Pestles. C-T) The duelling pistol now occupies its proper place, in tho inusoum of the collector of relics of barbarism. Tho pistol ought to have beside it the peatlo that turned out pills like bullets, to bo shot liko bullets at the target of tho liver. But tho pestle is etill ia evidence, and will bo, probably, until everybody has tested the virtue of Ayer3 BUgar coated pills. They treat the livor as a friend, not as an enemy. Instead of driving it, they coax. it. They are compounded oa the theory that the liver does its 70vk thoroughly nnd faithfully under ob-tructing conditions, and if the obstructions are removed, the liver will do its daily duty. Vhea your liver want3 help, get "tho pill dit wiU," Ayer's Cathartic Pills. fRS2w tOt New that man had not tbe soul of a wan at all; be bad the soul of rat, a miserable, sneaking vermin of a rat, and when be died his soul went Into a rafs body. It was late one evening when I saw a big black rat ran tbrengb uy room, which waa on the other aide ot the wall to this. It waa an enormous rat, finite black, with long white whis aers, and very bright eyes, and it ran squeaking and shrieking through my rtom. and then disappeared. I conld Hut tee where it went to. The next morning I beard the man had shot himself. Then I knew It was tbe man's soul which bad gone Into the body of this black rat. Of coarse, they had an Inquest, and brought In tbe ver Cict. Temporary insanity, and they had a big funeral and all hie relations tame. They Invited me, and I went, out of politeness), yon know, bat when they came to that bit of the service about the soul of oar dear brother resting In peace,' why, I conld have laughed la their faces, for I knew it waa not resting In peace at all, bnt ca reering away somewhere In the body of that black rat." Sir William, who had been looking very grave doling this tirade, here broke into a smile and observed: "Well, old fellow, I dare aay yon are not far out; it would be the fittest punishment for each a scoundrel a 70a describe. But did you never see the rat again?" "Yea, many times; but the last time of all was here, in this very house," cried Jasper, excitedly. "Indeed!" aald Sir William. "Why, then, you most have brought It with you." "No such thing," retorted Jasper, scornfully. "A rat like that does not v-ant to be "brought' anywhere. But," he continued, "I am confident it Is also Identical with a little dark man who ba taken tbe lawyer's bouse and goes to business every day carrying a black. sMny bag. I watch him every day as he passes, and I always say 'Good morning. Sir Rat,' nnder my breath. You mark my words, though, and look put for that rat. I got jip and chased it all around the room and out Into thj passage, and I am confident It dlsap r eared In the drains. You have not seen tbe last of it yet." Before Jasper had been very long In the bouse it became evident that hit mental derangement was of a more se r'oua character than had been Imagin ed. At times be was quiet and lucid enough, and then would suddenly break out Into some Incoherent rodo montade. His Inconvenient penchant for me still continued and he would haunt the schoolroom with gifts of flowers and fruits, or sweets and mu sic, or anything for which he beard m express a liking. One morning, soon after breakfast, I was one the lawn with May, snipping dead roses off the bushes and gathering a fresh supply for the tables. "Here comes Uncle Jasper; let's bide." said May. I turned and beheld Mr. Jasper ad vancing in bis peculiar ambling fash ion. Flight was Impossible, so I held May's band and waited until he came up with us. He held an enormous full blown crimson picotes in his hand and ame eagerly up to me. 4"Au, my princess, I have found you; I h.ive been looking everywhere for you lo -'lve 'ou tui8' pressing the gaudy td.tssoms Into my hand. "Don't yoa t-einember the old rhyme. Miss Monroe: The rose Is red the violets blue. Carnation's sweet, aud so are you. "You, you," he cried, "you are my rose and my carnation and my morn ing star alt rolled Into one. I" Where this outburst of poetic eloquence would lit.ve ended I know not. for this mo ment Simpson, the butler, came up 10 Jasper. "Mr. Jasper," he said, "will you please eome and speak to Sir William in the otudy? He wants to see you bn busi ness vpry particular." "Now, why do you come and talk to me about business when you see me conversing with Miss Monroe?" de manded Jasjer, testily. "Go away! I cannot attend to you or to business Ua.W." On my representing to Mr. Jasper, huwever, that I mtist attend to mine, and take May to do her lessons, he con- stated to accompany Simpson to the study, saying as he walked away: "Well, I will go now, but I shall come again; I have something very particu .ar to say to you." About a week after this Sir William and Lady Mordaunt warned by the doctor that though Mr. Jasper was not dangerously violent at present, ne might at any time become so went up .o town to see Mrs. Jasper and arrang ed with ber about having ber husband placed under proper control, even if only for a short time. "Simpson has had experience In men tal cases and will take charge of Jas- Pr. 80 J0" need not nervous," said idy Mordaunt to ma aa sne weni away. I resolved that I would spend the day !n the schoolroom and give my eccentric i lever a wide berth. In the afternoon. however. May complained of a head ache, and I sent her to ber nurse to lie down. Then, tempted by the beauty of the day, I took my book and went out, .ntendlng to spend the afternoon on the cMs. 1 walked through the Crowley woods, now lovely lu their autumnal tints, out on to tbe rabbit warren, and over that to the cliffs. I made my way to one much higher and steeper than V:e rest, known as the Great Tor, and climbed to its summit, a moss-covered Lit of tableland Jutting out over the beach and commanding a grand view of the surrounding country. It was a dan gerous spot, and one to which I never rentured when 1 had my restless little pupil with me. I established myself aa close to the edge as I dared venture and sat for some minutes lazily enjoying the quiet W-.tiitv of the scene. Before me lay ftiree Cliffs bay, with the silver shim tier of the water shining through the rch of tbe first tall cliff, while on the stber hand waa Ozwicb point, aloplng down in a grand, richly wooded curve to the water's edge, with the quaint Utile square-towered church nestling at its foot, and looking as though It rose directly out of the sea. The wave sparkled and rippled la the bright sun shine, as they-gently kissed tbe long stretch of golden sand lying between Oxwich and PenarcL For a few min utes I gave myself np to the luxury ol enjoying the beauty of this fair scene and to the dreamy Influences " of tin surroundings, nor thought of danges and peril so close at hand. Then I opened my book, and waa soon absorb. XI in its contents.. For a little while I read on undis turbed. Tben a sudden shadow across my book made me look op, and there, with a wild glare In his eyea and a look of savage frenzy on his face, stood Mr. Jasper. I started to my feet with a cry ot horror. There waa no mistaking the deadly light of insanity in his eyea. I was on tbe edge of a dangerous cliff with a madman. "My gem, my princess, my tar," h crfed, "I have found yoa at last. They have been trying to keep us apart all day, but now we have found each othar and will never part any more." Ills "gem, princess and star" though I Imagined I must have resembled a frightened thunder cloud more than any of the above similes turned on him indignantly and did the most fool ish thing nnder tbe circumstances that I could do. I forgot that I was dealing with a lunatic, and spoke to him as he were sane. "Please go away at once, Mr. Jasper, I came here to be alone, and do not wish for company, "Oh, now you are going to be cross. Just like my wife; she is always scold ing and nagging, never gives me a min ute's peace. But I love my wife, I do," h? added, reflectively, as If by way of afterthought, "I love my wife, do yoj believe me?" This, under the circumstances, wvl a satisfactory assertion on Mr. Jasper', part, and I hastened to assure him ot ny perfect confidence in bis conjugal fidelity, adding, "But she would not like 10 see you behaving in this way; loose my hands, please, Mr. Jasper, and go aay." For answer he drew me closer to him, I could feel his hot breath on my face, and my terror was increasing every mo ment. "I love my wife," reiterated Mr. Jasper, "but I love the morning star, and you, you are the morning star. Come and let us jump over this preci pice Into the glorious space, and we will circle around the moon together, and be happy ovenuore." Then to my horror, Mr. Jasper plae ed his anus around me and forcibly lifted me to my feet. In another in stant we should have started on that aerial journey Mr. Josjht wished to take. To struggle in that viselike grasp was unavailing; there was not a human , being within reach to come to my as- j .ut.nn.. ... m- a .iirt i over the cliff and must inevitably be ' dashed to pieces on tbe rocks below. I ould no longer control my terror. I tittered one long, piercing scream. Then l loud, clear voice rang in my ear: "Jasper, Jasper, what are you about? For heaven's sake loose this young lady; do you want to kill both yourself arid ber?" Then I felt myself wrenched from tli grasp of the madman and almost flung to a safe distance on the grass. Frank, Frank." I cried, "oh, how thankful I am you have come." For Frank Dudley Indeed It was, though how he whom I supposed to lie far away In Ireland should suddenly OJ.pcar In Gower in time to rescue me from a terrible fate I did not trouble myself to inquire. It was enough for me that be was there and that I was safe. "(!ood heavens," ejaculated Frank, "1 was only Just In time; another second likI you both would have been over the ciiff! Has he hurt you?" No, I am not hurt, only terribly frightened." And Indeed I was trem bling in every limb and struggling hard to repress an Inclination to go off into u violent fit of hysterical crying. Frank iiad barely time to place me ou a low piece of rock and then turn his attcn- t!on to Jasper, who now caine forwa-d with very threatening gestures, cvi- dently bent on battling it out with the aiun who had come between himself and his "morning star." Fortunately Simpson also appeared at this junc ture, otherwise, strong as Frank was, he would have been no match for the madman. Simpson hud but left his charge for a short time, and on missing him, after a fruitless search elsewhere, had traced him to the warren. Eetwecu them they overpowered Jasper aud took him back to the house. I follow ed, feeling still very shaky, but re solved to "hold up" to the end. When we reached the house of course I col lapsed, and was glad to take shelter lu my own room. Here, tinder the care of one cf the maids and with the aid of a g 'ass of Sir Wiliam's good port, 1 grad ually recovered. Later In the evening I was sitting In the small drawing room, pale, but quite recovered, when Frank Dudley came in. "Oh, Mr. Dudley," I said, "I can never thank you enough you have sav ed my life; but for you 1 should now be lying crushed and lifeless at the foot of the Great Tor." " -Mr. Dudley, " he said, seating him self on the couch beside me. "I was Frank' this afternoon; please may 1 not stay so7 "Oh, I forgot then, I was so frightened I did not think what I was saying, I replied and I know I gut very red as 1 said it "Well, It was very nice. I wish you iwould always lie so frightened, and not Know what you are saying when you are talking to me. But you have not asked me how it is I am here lusteaJ Of far away In Ireland." "No, 1 have not; but how is it?" "Well, you see the regiment Is not to sail for a week later than was at nrft arranged so. having the time to spare, I rame down here. They told me you had gone on the cliffs, so I went out to fiu.l you. Elsit, I came back to 6ee if yo.i would reconsider what you said to me if you would give me uuy hoje?" I don't know who spoke next, nor precisely what was said, but I know I found Frank's strong arms around m. nd felt his kisses pressed upon my lips. All this happened many years ago.

With some clean potatoes, some car rots, parsnips and toothpicks a rainy afternoon can be made so suort that supper will come hours before it Is ex pected. The potatoes sbou:d be small taid as knobby and queer shaped as it is possible to get them. The parsnips aud carrots should be washeu clean and the toothpicks should be of the cheap, common wooden kind. With these materials, all or part ot them, and a couple of knives, a whole menagerie of animals and a whole roomful of dolls can be made. The toothpicks are used to join the heads, amis, legs, etc., to the body of the animal or doll. The pictures showing vegetable toys are sketches of some actually made. Of course, some of the originals of the pictures were rather difficult to make, but a little care will enable the young animal maker to do wonders. Some of tbe best of the toys illustrated were made by a girl not over 10 years of age, BOITC VKO STABLE TOTS. but then she had spent three of her ten years in a kindergarten, where she cut ont all sorts of pretty designs in colored paper and modeled dolls and doga and cows in modeling clay. Sometimes a funny doll can Toe made with potatoes without cutting or shap ing them at all, but It Is more fun cut ting the "murphies" to shape. The horse In the picture was made with a carrot body and potato legs and head, and the rider was made of po tatoes. The trunk of the elephant was made by slitting the tip of a carrot and bending It up, and the curly tail of the pig was made ont of a hairpin. There are no rules to follow In mak ing vegetable toys, for rules and regu lations and directions spoil the fun.

Probably nothing ever did more to bring the East and the West together in national sentiment than the Colum bian Exposition at Chicago. The whole country was Justly proud of that, and eo section was more ungrudging in its praise of it than the East. It was con ceded frankly and heartily that Chi cago had done what would not have been possible in New York or any other Eastern city, making not merely a world's fair, but a world's wonder. Western energy and dauntless daring were combined with a loftiness and l rcadth of artistic purpose to produce results which would have been impos sible in an older civilization. As an experienced English observer said, "Not only was it the most wonderfully beau tiful thing of the kind the world had ever seen, but it was likely to be the most wonderfully beautiful that ever would be seen; for no other nation would ever have the audacious courage to dj again what Chicago did." Yet this fair was merely the sublime out come of one of the chief elements. If not the c hief element, of Western progress the public spirit of the people. They believe In their country, are proud of Its wonderful growth and unbounded resources, and are determined to do everything In their power to add to its fame. This spirit is particularly 6trong iu Western cities, and appeals to it are never made In vain. It makes possible the establishment on a firm and endur ing basis of educational and artistic enterprises which find little cordial sup port in Eastern cities, and which lead there only ft etniggllns and precarious existence. They are supported In West ern ltles because they win be a credit to the communities and will add to their fame. It would be an unspeak able boon to Eastern cities if this pub lic spirit could be aroused in them.- Centuiy. The Arithmetic Waa Wronr. Teacher Ten mills make one cent.
