Henceforth li's life took on a different
hue. His teachers complained of his

they could ii .t galusuy his talents and
lrijcht, a.-ti; e mind. He was expelled
from two .sriuKiLs on account of bis un

cle Tobe to send hiui to college, the lat
ter refused. No. he must learn a trade.
I don't know low many different lines
of work Phil tried, but he never remain
ed more than a few weeks In any one.
At last he was apprenticed to a drug
gist. The work seemed to suit him.

was about to leave the wharf.
In the crowd I lost eight of him. The

In despair. Behind me stood Uncle
Tobe.
"Let him go, Vreda; he'll cone back,
I'll give him the money after awhile,
but not now. Young folk are too Im
patient." "You should have given It to him

voice.

bad gone out of my life. The rollick
ing echo was dead. The days were
gray and dreary, the nights Intermina
ble. We had no friends. There was no
one to come to a bouse that had no open
door; no band of welcome!
Uncle Tobe wrestled with figures half
the day, the other half he devoted to
business errands. In the evening be
read the newspapers. I was like a
deaf mute.
Take a good, long walk every day,"
suggested compassionately Mrs. -Mitchell.
"You look like a ghost, and are
fading away!"
Alas! there was no one, for whom I
would have exerted myself to keep
fresh and young. The sooner I grew
old aad gray the better I would fit into
my surroundings.
For Philip I cried bitter tears. Uncle
Tobe never mentioned his name.
"Poor old man, he must be fond of
you both." Mrs. Mitchell was wont to
say now and then when I went to her
room to talk of Philip. "He is working
himself to death trying to buy this lit
tle house. My nephew tells me this; he
is employed in the office of his attor
ney." "I hate the place 6lnce Phil is gone,"
I cried luttcrly. "Everything U gone,
the birds, the flowers and the people.
Only we we are chained to this same
old spot."
"Walt, Miss Vreda; wait, later ti,
perhaps "
That's what Uncle Tobe eaya, and
thtn It will be too late."
"Not for yo'L You are young. Mist
Vreda, but your uncle, nobody can
make him see what he ought to do."
We lived our lonely lives and S had
lost all hope that things would ever !
change. I
Oue morning we found Uncle Tobe !
dead in his chair. He looked as if he
had dropped into a peaceful slumbo ;
' Mrs. Mitchell and I seemed turned j
slone when we discovered him. I feit !
no sorrow, but I was terribly frighten
ed. When tbe doctor came he said that
be could do nothing.
I The funeral was very quiet and un
ostentatious. There were no tears, no
: lamentations, no flowers, no friends.
After we bad laid him away it occurred
to me that the home In which I had
lived so long would now be closed to me.
But the thought bad no terror. It was
a relief, rather, to be free. I knew
nothing about earning my bread. Free
dotn was all I craved.
On the day after the burial, Uncle , that time (1874) the result of these ob

Over In Russia many of the schools
have connected with them small gar
dens, orchards or grape arbors. In
which tbe boys and girls are taught to
work. Each day the schoolmaster, who
has charge of the garden, takes his pu
pils out and teaches them how to plant
hoe, rake and reap. In the south of
Russia, where -the country Is almost
treeless, the children learn how to set
out trees and what the best kinds are,
and In some provinces there is a com
plete silkworm colony In each school,
and the pupils watch the wonderful
little sllkmakers eat mulberry leaves

On the farm of Amos M. Collins, near
Balnbridge, O., dwells a most curious
ly assorted family, presided over by a
demure house cat Several weeks ago
Tabby gave birth to a pair of healthy
kittens. When old enough to get about
they went on a foraging expedition In
a wood near by, accompanied by the
mother. In their Journey they discov
ered a gray squirrel's nest. In which
two young squirrels lay sleeping. The
curiosity ot the kittens was aroused,
and they soon made friends with tbe
squirrels, and while the mother cat sat
contentedly on a log kittens and squir
rels enjoyed a rrolic when It finally
became dusk the cat quickly took one
of the squirrels in ber mouth and car
ried" It to the farm, returning fq
other one In a few minutes. The squir
rels are now safely housed with the
kittens, and the cat watches over the
children of her adoption as carefully
as over her own offspring.

The most curious mtocellaneous col

who lived at Grahams town, near Glas

th most varied description, including
adses, gimlets, hammers, keys, jars,
bottles, toothpicks, - tops, marbles,
whips, toys of all sorts, slses, shapes
and materials, besides having an assort

five bottles, each bottle containing
some of tbe soil of a historic battlefield,
all duly labeled.
Why wouldn't It be a good .plan for
some of our high school boys to make
a collection of bottled football grounds
where great games have taken place!

Tbe Saunterere's friend, the Doctor,

ago be inherited a large fortune, and
since then his time has been so occupied
managing his estates that It is Impos
sible for bim to continue his profes

his shingle, but be also discourages the
practice of calling him "doctor"; so that
In his neighborhood the title has beeu

maid of all work, when she answers the
doorbell, baa to explain that though the
proprietor of tbe establishment is a
duly graduated physician, he is not at
present practicing his profession, and
does not wish to respoud to calls for bis
medical skill.
It happened that one day there an -
peared at the door a caller of. a very
different kind. He was the agent of
some religious society, anxious rather
to bleed others than to be bled himself.
So, naturally, he was eager to post him
self as to tbe church relations of his
proposed subject In order to make the
appeal more effectual.
His first question began in the usual
way: -Is er Mr. Hammersleigh at
home?"
"Sure an' he Is, sorr."
"Can you tell me whether or not he is
a Christian?"
To Bridget this was something of a
poser, but she rose supremely to the oc
cation with her accustomed answer:
"Sure, an be Is, yer honor. : But he's
