The bloom of her boy' sweet faes.

With a laugh that cheers the place.

Sometimes a pencil and slate.

And the Agorae hard to state:

"No fear for ear little one."
They were wonderful days, the dear sweef

Was here to scold, to kias and to praise.
At her knee in the little chair.

And she lives again the happy day.

that Is why we have to do without a

James said slie must come to the sea

now we haven't any more money, and
so we are Just obliged to go back."
Maysle tossed lip her head. "Well. I .
Juatb wouldn't! Why don't you stamp
'your feet and st ream? That's the way
I do when I want something, and Solly
nearly always lets me have It." i
There was a little silence. Ted.lie
sighed wistfully, and Maysle sat with
her chin In her little brown hand and
her dark eyes Used thoughtfully on the
sea. She was thinking bard. Suddenly
she sat upright and her cheeks tlamed
excitedly. 'Til Just tell you what. Ted

haven't any uinniuia. Now, my papa Is
rich, you know ever so rich and he
can do auythlug he likes. I'll Juert ask
him to adopt you aud your mamma.
Then you will be my brother, you know,
and we will each have a mamma and a
papa."
Here Maysle was struck by a possible
fla win her splendid plan. "Are mam
mas nice?" she asked doubtfully.
But Teddle dispelled her fears in
stantly. "'Deed they are," he cried, enthusi
astically. "They are Just as nice as

"Can she?" Maysle'a eyes sparkled.
fWhy, that Is splendid. And then we
can stay here and Unlsh our beautiful
castle."
"I will not have to go borne, then."
e;vld Teddle. "Maysle, you do think of
splendid things. You thought of the
castle and the sand cave aud every

"O. that's nothing," site said with One
Indifference. "I always think of things.
Now I'll go and nsk papa."
"All right." said Teddle. "And I won't
tell mamma till you come, so we can
a'prlse her. I'll go home now. Good-by,
Maysie."
"Good-by."
Maysle sped across the sands, and
said to herself a la Sally. "My lucky
stars," when she saw her pupa coming
toward her along the shore, a big.
brown-bearded man. with merry eyes.
"Hello, Puss, what Is the news? You
look Important." he said, tumbling her
curls over her head.
"Well, I guess it Is important," said
Maysle. "I have Just settled about bar
ing a brother and a mamma. Such a
nice boy, and I know bis mamma is
nice, too. You won't uilnd having a lit
tle boy, will you, papa?
"You see," went on Maysle ."the little
boy's name Is Teddle, and I've played
with him every day since we came. We
are building a beautiful castle now. uc-h
a grand one. with rooms and rooms, but
If Teddle goes away we can't ever fin

papa, that they can't stay here any

tfaere Is lots of room In our bouse. And
sometimes I get so lonely without any
one to play with. Teddie Is lonely, too,
and when he goes home be won't have
anything to eat but bread Just only
bread, papa."
"Dear nie!" said her papa. "Where
did you pick up this lirtle ragamuffin.
Uaysle?"
"Why. papar cried Maysle. Indig
nantly. "He Isn't a ragamuffin at all!
Bally says be is more lady-like than I
am. But I can run faster than be can,
and he was afraid of the water at
first!" Maysle sniffed contemptuously,
and her papa laughed outright. Maysie
considered this a good sign and she
took his band coaxingly. "Papa, bow
would you flke to sleep In a bed with
the rain all leaking down on H, and
only breud to eat? Teddle's mamma
cries about It. And you don't want your
tittle girl to he lonesome, do you?"
"You aly little witch!" cried the good
natured father. "But would nothing
less than adoption suit your highness?
It would give me a great deal of trou

wealth. Now suppose you and I buy
Teddle something nice and see what we
can do for his mamma. Won't that do?"
"O, no. no, that won't do at all. I
want them to live with ns and stay
weth us always. Now, papa, do say
yea."
"But. my dear little girl that cannot
be done. Don't you know that it is as
much as I can do to manage you, with
out having another youngster on my

was a man of geographical Information
and a past master in the art of map
drawing. He put a sample of his work
ou exhibition and It commanded rapt
attention. It represented a section of
Sonora in the vicinity of Magdalena,
and It contained the designation of a
spot marking the site of a mine of mar

map and mine became known to a dos-

Recent French experiments have de

fact that certain persons possess a mag

Such a person, when completely un

Why Bebbers
Are Considered
Oee
Form.' "
i
There was a time, not so msny
years back, when it was not quite j
fashionable to appear too robust. A
little languor was considered rather
becoming in a young woman. But
tbat day has passed. The pale, droop
ing, indoor girl has given way to the
riding, walking, golf-playing girl.
Health has received the seal of fash
ion. And everything that conduces to
health is now good form. For instance,
in the matter of wearing rubbers. A
few years ago a good many women ob
jected to wearing rubbers, on tbe
ground that they detracted from the
trim appearance of tbe foot. But
everybody knows that nothing else
ruins the health aa quickly as wet
feet, and the only possible way to have
dry feet especially in winter is to
wear rubbers. So rubbers have come
back into style as indispensable to
good health. -
The added fact that rubbers are now
so much more shapely and graceful in
their lines than tbey were a dozen
years ago, and that they are now made
in snch infinite variety, has served, oi
course, still farther to increase their
popularity. Harper's Bazar.
Oeflrctton of the Marnetto Needle.
Observations have been made recent
ly to determine the extent and cause of
the extraordinary deflection of tbe
magnetic needle which takes place over
a vast tract of Central Russia. The
line selected for observation was one
of about 850 miles, between Moscow
and Kharkov. The widest aberrations
are found to exist In tbe province of
Kursk, tbe capital of which is about
600 miles south of Moscow. In the
southeast portion of this province,
aliout ISO miles south of Tim, tbe nee
dle Is deflected more than 96 degrees,
and points almost due east and west in
stead of north and south.
How Beeswax I Made.
One of tbe most taxing of the bee in
dustries Is the making of wax, accord
ing to Anna Botsford Comstock. who
describes the operation In the Chautau
quan thus: Bees gorge themselves
with boney, tbeu bang themselves np
In festoons or curtain to the hive, and
remain quiescent for boors; after a
time wax scales appear, forced out
from tbe wax pockets. Tbe bees re
move these scales with their natural
forceps, carry the wax to tbe mouth
and cbew It fot a time, thus changing
it chemically. Thus it may be seen
that waxmsklng Is a great expense to
the colony, tor it costs not only the
time of tbe workers, but It Is estimated
tbat twenty-one pounds of boney Is re
quired to make one pound of wax.
Temperance in everything Is requi
site for happiness.
If cheerfulness knocks for admis
sion, we should open our hearts wide
to receive It, for it never comes Inop
portunely. A thoughtful observer remarks that
there are two classes cf persons whom
it ia hard to convince against their
will wom.-n and men.
Temperance and labor are tbe two
best physicians of men: labor sharp
ens tbe appetite, and temperance pre
vents him from indulging in excess.
Learning Is either good or bad ac
cording to him tbat baa It an excellent

The babies certainly enjoy the change.
Sometimes there are as many as a hun

American toys, and eating bread and

curiosity any more than ordinary mor- j

sonly drew out the paper without

found it to be a letter of thanks from
tbe page's mother. In which she blessed
her boy for big thoughtfulness and de

The poor lad, much frightened, tried
to stammer out a confession or excuse,
and In his agitation he thrust bis hand

StrVaCotbi te make a fashionable an- .
w . t il had a white am.
but Mary waa net satisfied; tbdr
were tee tens and narrow. She Ilk (
snety IMags. and wanted to be la tbe
CaSop. were worn at tbl. - j
by women; act the steel onetbo-e
earn In later but home-made affairs, j
ii d. boated on tbe Inside ;
of the skirt, aoch as miniaers used In
drawn-silk bonnets.
Properly worn, their effect was quit
pretty. Mary admiwd them above all
things, and was frantic for one. bat It
would have been an unheard-of request
te ask far it. After much worry and
thought, she at test said:
"Lissle. I am going over to Mrs. H'
tetter's and ask ber for some of ber
weeping willows. We can make hoop
skirts, and wear them to Sunday school
to-morrow."
I agreed to it. and she put on her sutt
bonnet, and with a basket started on
her errand. It was a long time before
she returned, but she waa abundantly
supplied with tbe material, and depos
ited her basket with Its precious burden
la a closet hi our room. -
After tea we began our preparation
We seated ourselves upon the floor and
lost no time, but worked diligently. We
wer satisfied to find bow late It was
when my aunt. Mrs. Todd, on her way
to her room, tapped on our door, telling
us It was time to be In our beds.
w did out out the light, and waited
nnttl we thoueht everybody was asleep;
then we relighted our candle and work- j
Ml until late In the night, when we ,
bung up tbe finished garments with a
thrill of delight.
Our sleep was too short to be sntls
fylng. but we managed to get to break
fast In time. As soon as It was over,
we rushed to our room. Mary was al
ways quick In her movements, but now
she made uncommon h.iste. and was
dressed and out upon the street as I
reached tbe front hall door.
One moment and we should have
been safe; but as fate would have it
aunt caught a glimpse of me. One
glance was enough to show ber what
we bad been striving for. She reached
the door In a second, and called Mary
back.
There we stood, a burlesque on van
Ity, as grotesque figurt-s ss eye need
ever fall on. In hoop that bulged In
front and at tbe back, while they fell
in on the sides, and w'th our narrow
white dresses stretched over them to
their utmost extent. We had basted the
willows In just ss they came off tbe
free, one end being very large and the
Cher very small.
Aunt looked us over from bead to
foot, and said: "What frights you are!
Take those things off and go to Sunday
school."
It was well our display was conflned
to our own premises. If we bad gone
to the MeCord Church, as we were so
anxious to do, the congregation would
have been convulsed with laughter,
and aunt too deeply mortibed to lilt r.p
feer head.
fjord Kelvin's Reprimand.
The eminent English scientist. Lord
Kelvin, who for many years bas lield
tb chair of natural philosophy at Glas
gow University, Is tbe subject of au
amusing story Illustrative of tbe singu
lar force of habit
As a professor of science. Lord Kel
vin can use long words in such formid
able array as to paralyze tbe average
layman, but the Glasgow student is
tad of sterner stuff.
Daring a course of lectures on niag
atitlam he once defined an ideal mag
net aa "aa Infinitely long, infinitely
thin, uniform and uniformly and longi
tudinally magnetized bar," and tbe
misguided students vociferously cheer
ed, which caused tbe venerable profes
sor to say:
"Silencer
This definition was made and cheer
ed, with the usual reprimand, frequent
ly during the lectures. Once, near the
eoacluston, however,' the students did
aot cheer, but Lord Kelvin promptly
rapped out "Silence!" as before.

' Their Uttl Frivolities. -
' There Is perhaps no'iber city In tbe
world which spends as much money on
UtJe, WTolitlea . Paris There
are no women in the world who sur
round, smother, and burden themselves
with the amount or number of toilet ac
cessorles as the French women A
stranger walking through one of the
big department stores like the Bon
Marche will be struck forcibly with
this tact. Tbey will see there a thou
sand gaudy things, the use of half of
which they cannot even divine. They
are all color and paste and feathers and
rags, silks and fringe, aud linen and
lace mock jewels, and brushes and
combs and pomades, perfumes and
sarons and powders and braids, until
the head turns giddy snd the heart sick
with the sights aud the sounds. If a
woman understook to make practical
use of all these devices, from her bath
out to tbe putting on of the last scrap
of lace or knot of ribbon, she would be
obliged to give up all her time to it,
and would need several maids besides.
She would have no time left for the cul
tivation of her mind, or for earning a
