Jim bad intrusted a small parcel to

At the same time I feCt rather than
beard a light footstep ascending the
stairs. Carelessly I noted H.
"It Is Mary going to bed. She was up
early."
Her room was on the top flat, and to
reach It she bad to ascend tbe front

My husband started up.
"What is the matter?"
I am afraid I lost my head a little,'
and to relieve tbe strain of the situation
remarked foolishly:
"Mr. Gordon looks aa If he bad seen
a ghost Instead of such an ordinary per

"The cook!" he repeated. "Mrs. Ma

Oeorjre found his Tolee first.
"But I thought you said you had lost
your wife?"
A new light broke upon me.
Yes, "lost," but "found."
I do not generally speak to my hus
band In a tone of authority, but on this
occasion I did.
"George," I said, "go down to your
Rtudy directly and wait for me there.
Stop here, Mr. Gordon."
I went up to Mary's room a tiny box
of a place, 10 feet by T. but I like ear
of my girls to Lave a room, bowevei

girl lay prone upon the little white bed.
"Mary," I said, "you must corn

She shuddered.
"Is she with him?
"She? Whom?" said I. "Oh. there,

What ChlleirM PearS.
President O. Stanley Hall .fNClark
University has been collection fats
concerning the fears of children Th
fears of children, he says, are geaer-
ally created by parents and servants.
He found that 1,701 children bad 6,
456 fears, tue leading ones being the
fear of lightning and thunder, reptiles,
strangers, tbe dark, death, domestic
animals, dlsease,wlld animals, water,
ghosts. Insects, rats and mice, robbers,
high winds, etc.
A few of these fears are rational. In
New Jersey no children were found to
be afraid of high winds, but in tbe
West that fear naturally leads all oth
ers. At Trenton, however, sixty-two
children were fonnd who dreaded the
end of the world, a fear created entire
ly by adult teaching. His tabulation
shows what education can do In tbis
respect.
No child was found to be afraid off
the devil. Two hundred years ago and
less that fear would have led all the
rest. Few were found who were
afraid of ghosts, a fear that would
have stood high on the list not long
ago. The fear of robbers and of wild
animals Is a survival, though robbers
have not disappeared as completely as
the wild animals.
Forty-six New Jersey children were
afraid of being burned alive, a mon
strous thing to inculcate In the child
mind Fear will always be one of the
strongest Influences In human life, but
at least It Is possible by teaching what
real danger consists of to eradicate
groundless fears. Chicago Tribune.

THE QUE.tr, Ae-r I : -'--sMMirmMwmmrMt JB JI'IC
Her Life Haa Been One of Reverence
aad Parity.
London, aa every reader knows, boa
-eceutly witnessed one of tbe greatest
iggregations of human beings that tbe
world baa ever seen. Millions made
pilgrimages to the buge capital to do
tiouiage to her who, for sixty years, has
sat upon the throne of England, and
who Is one of the most beloved women
nrho ever lived.
When, along the line of the vast pro
fession, her subjects saw her, very
ninny of them wept tears of Joy. The
salvos of artillery at Spitbead, when
tho greatest naval review In all his
tory was being beld. did not reverber
ate by a thousand times as far as tbe
murmured prayer, "God bless our
Queen!" which, as if by a sacred conta
gion, seemed to burst from myriads of
lips during the stirring week. Nay,
more; the prayer crossed the Atlantic;
passed from Halifax to Vancouver;
found utterance In Hong Kong; was
re-echoed from Tasmania to Australia,
and from thence to Cape Town. It
was beard in India and Egypt; sad,
strengthened by Its colossal march, it
reinforced British patriotism at home.
Nor was this all. It was not mere form.
It came from hearts throbbing with
love aad reverence for one woman. It
was deeply meant, and wo Americans
were not ashamed to add our warm re
spect.
Now, what was the reason of this?
A mere sixty years' reign is not enough
iu itself to arouse the whole world's
eager recognition. The fact that lnnuy
empires have changed, or tended to
decay, while one has grown In power
and influence, docs not answer the
question. To rule over one-fifth of the
KloLe, aud to be tbe sovereign of 300,
COO.OliO people, does not necessarily
command affection, or engender
msgo.
When a mere girl, this eminent wom
an was informed of her accession to
the British throne. The first remark
she then made bus been the keynote of
a long life that bus brought the world
to her feet.
"My lord archbishop," she said with
deep feeling, "pray for mo."
To refuse audience to a titled subject
because he hud led a questionable llf;
to surround herself with the purest
court in Christendom; to be high-minded
in all pwMic concerns; to be Judicious
and wise In the affairs of state the
have indicated her character as ruler
and empress. The world for many
years has seen and warmly acknowl
edged them. But the great Jubilee ret)
resented more than this. It was th
siHHitaneous tribute of a great empir
to true womanhood; the deference ol
civilization to the regal embodiment of
Christian principle.
The virtues aud graces that Chrisl
declurcs show obedience to livlne au
thority are far more compelling to th
hearts and minds of meu than rank ot
genius, and the glory cf this Queen
rests upon the fact that she herself is
subject to a higher sovereignty than
ber own. Tbe royalty of her character
lies Drat and most In this that she rec-osui-ses
the grandeur of obedience t

WHAT WE SHOULD DRINK.
Onr
Instinct Are tlanally
tho Beat
Onlde.
We should drink from one-third to,
two-fifths as many ounces as we weigh
in pounds, declares Pror. Allen in a.
medical exchange. "Therefore, for a
man weighing 108 pounds would be re
quired from flxty-slx to sixty-four
aunces daily, or from one and one-half
to four pints. This we regard as a very
ndeflnlte answer, says the New York
Ledger. The amount of water required
iepends on the season of the year, tbe
mount of work done and the kind-of
food eaten. In hot weather we require
more than In cold, because of the great
er loss through the, skin, though this is
In part made up by the Jesser amount
passed away through the kidneys. If
a man labors rery luCd he requires
more than If his labor Is light A man
working in a foundry where the tem
perature Is high and tbe penipiratlon
profuse not Infrequently drinks three
r four gallons daily.
If the food is stimulating and salty
more watsr Is required than, if It Is not.
Vegetarians and those who, use much,
fruit re-i-ilre less water than ,those who
eat salted fish and pork, ancj et
iloDg with none, except what' 3r
food. '
In most cases our instincts tell us ,
how much water to drink far better
than any bard or fixed rule. For ages
they have been acquiring a knowledge
sf how touch to drink and transmitting
that knowledge to descendants, and If
we follow, them we shall not go far out
of the way. It Is of more use to us
to know that pure water Is essential'
and that Impure water is one of the
most dangerous of drinks than to know
how much of it Is required daily. '
If one lives In u region where the wat
er Is bad it should be boiled and put
away In bottles. Well corked. In nn Ice
chest, and in addition one should eat
all the fruit he can. If fruit agrees.
Fruits contain not only pure waterAbut
salts which are needed to carru on
healthfully the functions of life.
Search for Buried Plunder.
The finding of v. revolver marked
"Blood for blood" has revived an old
story of buried treasure at Fhoenix,
Ariz., and a number of men are digging
In tbe vicinity of the place where tlie
weapon was found. In June, 1S7A, Ave
men held up a stage coach on the Black
canyon road, near Arastla bill. One
passenger" was killed, and the booty
consisted of a big roll of new
greenbacks and a bar of gold worth"
$32,000. A year or so later It was re
ported In rhoenlx, and. indeed,
throughout the extreme Southwest,
that the product of the stage robbery
had been burled at Phoenix.
Two of the robbers made partial con
fessions when mortally wounded, but
their explanations were cut off by
death. It seems that the robbers hud
foared to make use of the greenbacks
because these notes were rare In that
part of the country and would arouse
auspicton. They therefore burled the
bills and cut the gold bar In two with
an ax ami buried half, together with
the pistol of the murdered paasentter.
which waa a peculiar one, bearing the
words, "Blood for blood."
The whole was inclosed In an iron
coffee pot. Almost every year since the
story of the treasure became known
one or more searchers have appeared at
Fhoenix. each claiming to have a tip,
received at some "bad man's" death
bed or in some equally sensatlonnl way.
Some years ago a priest from Mngda
lena, Sonora, who had been glveu the
location by n man who died of a wound
received In a fight, spent a Ipng time
In searching for it without success. It
Is probable that the treasure, if ever
burled at all, has been recovered by
some searcher who thought It well to
conceal his success. New York World

Farming for Frogs.
Tou have all heard of corn and pnmp
cln farms, but who ever beard of a
freg farm? Yet Just such a novelty ex
ists in the Trout river basin of Ontario,
Canada. It has been in operation for
many years and has a large annual out
put of frogs legs and live frogs. In the
summer time It Is probably the greatest
place for bops In the world, and as for
orchestras and vocal music few places
can equal It. The farm Is mostly a
stretch of shallow water and swamps
and the frogs are allowed to hop at
large and breed until they are three or
four years old. Then the "farmers" go
-outsat night with torches and the frogs
are eaiiffiit Jn nets and placed in pens.
j When they are a!tted the water is
drained off and the frogs arc sent away
to market The farm is stocked mostly
with big bullfrogs, which provide the
largest and best legs. In 1835 aiiti
the "farm" produced the Immense,
amount of 5,000 pounds of dressed frog
legs, besides 7,000 live frogs for vari
ous purposes.
Too Bis; a Monthful.
Speaking of odd accidents to birds,
a friend of the Boys and Girls" depart
ment wrote about a surprising thing
which lie saw last summer. He wass
camped on Lake Geneva during most
of the month of August, and he foun-1
much pleasure In watching those fish
ers of the air, the osprey and the king
fisher. One day he saw a kingfisher
drop down from the sky like a shot,
splash Into the water near shore and
then rise laboriously with a heavy fish
in its talons. It flew to the top of a
tall stub near shore, and while he
watched It he saw it flutter suddenly
from Its perch and then drop down
ward with apparently helpless wings.
He rowed over to the shore and ran to
the foot of the dry stub. Tbe king
fisher lay there fluttering feebly and
almost dead with a small perch stuck
fast in its throat. It had tried to swal
low entirely too large a mouthful, and
bad not the visitor removed the fish It
soon would have died.

There Is a young woman earned Miss
Moua Selden In the towu of Friend
ship, New Jersey, who abandoned
school-teaching about seven years ago
In order to engage in some occupation
more conducive to her heaitn. She con
cluded to raise frogs for the New York
and Philadelphia markets, and for this
purpose bought, at $2.00 per acre,
twenty acres of marsh land in the vicin
ity of Friendship. This tract she
fenced In, and has diligently prosecuted
the business of breeding, buying and
aeiiing frogs, until It yields her an In
come of $0,000 per year. We extract
from an exchange the following partic
ulars In regard to this enterprising
woman and her surroundings:
"Since Miss Selden turned her atten
tion to buying frogs, she has spent less
time hunting, but occasionally she goes
out for a day In the bog and comes
home with a full bag. The twenty acres
that she bought she holds as a reserve.
and ten acres of It she has turned Into I
breeding place for frogs.
"She calculates that every spring
there are about 20,000 frogs In the
breeding ground. She feeds them and
they are furnished with clear water
from a continuously flowing stream.
Under the treatment that the woman
gives them the frogs thrive and grow
tp enormous proportions. The largest
are kept In the "ranch." The medium
sized are taken for the market, because
they are the tenderest, Juciest and
sweetest, and tbey command a higher
price than the larger legs.
"In ber home Miss Selden has a large
aquarium in which she keeps fish and
frogs. They are her only pets, and they
seem to have an affection for her. The
fish eat from ber hand, allow ber to
take them out of the water and under
go the discomfort of being In the open
air without making any objection. The
frogs are on more familiar terms with
her than are the fish, and they have
their hours when they are given thf
freedom of the house. One big green

newspapers declaring that bread, far
from being the staff of life, might al
most be considered the staff of death.
T. P. O'Connor Is the leader of the
assault and he advances some novel
and Interesting arguments In support
v.1. nncitinn that bread Is highly ln-
' Jurious and should be abandoned as
steady diet.
"It Is a question," says O'Connor,
"which lies at the basis of the health
of every person in tbe community. If
the balamiJ of expert opinion should
prove that bread is a destructive agvnt
to digestion and health, as so many
people think. Is It not time that tbe na
tion should be told so authoritatively
and that another system of dietary
should b recommended for adoption?
To persist In the nse of an unhealthy
diet Is ethically as great an offense
against ourselves as the absorption of
gin by tbe sot of tbe west or the eat.
Ir.g of opium by tbe wastrel of th
east."
The contention of those who are op
posed to the eating of such large quan
tities of bread is that since It contains
so much starchy matter It Is very diffi
cult of digestion and Imposes a great
and unnecessary strain on the digestive
apparatus. O'Connor declares that m
number of people have come under hla
notice who have abstained from bread
for years and tbey have retained their
faculties unimpaired to a ripe old age.
The late Sir Isaac Holden la perhaps
one of the best examples of this thSjeTr.
He lived to lie 01 years old and rOv ad
every faculty until the very laaS. 'He
was very active In and out of parlia
ment and emoked and drank In modera
tion. All of his friends attribute his
longevity to tbe fact that he avoided
all foods rich In starch, including bread.
Starch foods are not digested In the
stomach, but in the first Intestine. They
are thus difficult of digestion and, there
fore, less healthy than other dietary
nrtieles. Chlcaco Chronicle.
