A LITTLE LOVE STORY II
F course I knew all about It
Hadn't I tended Mr. Rodney u
long clothes an' lived in the fam
ily until he was a strappln', broad
shouldered man, side by side with his
father In all the responsibility and
work of that big farm? Why, I was
nurse an' cook an' sewln girl an' every
thing you can think of, In that fam
ily! "An don't I remember the very day
Miss Caryl come there first? Ton see,
it was right after she'd lost her moth
er, an she hadn't a soul In the world
that belonged to her, anyways close,
an' Mrs. Whit comb was only an old
friend herself, but there! It was Just
her way to go an' ask Miss Caryl to
come and live with them.
"Such a little slip of a brown-eyed.
curly-headed thing she was, with mo
tions for all the world Just like a bird!
I can see this minute how she looked
when she walked In at the door, an'
Mrs. Whltcomb took her in her arms.an'
Mr. Whltcomb. too, come ud an' gave
her a kiss, an' said she must be his
little daughter, now; an', with that.
Master Sydney, who was only a year
younger thitn Miss Caryl himself he
was 18 come bouncln' tip, an said If
he was his sister, ho was goln' to have
a kiss, too. So then Mr. Itodnoy kissed
her, but In a bashful kind of way, an'
well, I knew what had happened to
him that very night
"An It all come along as natural as
yon please! Well, I was glad for Mr.

Kibody could, help but pity -her before
the answer came. An' when It did
come what do yon think It was? Just
her own letter sent back, without a
word.
"Now, do yon know, that's the only
thing Mr. Rodney could have done to
mnke uiu sorrier for her than I was for
him? Site wrote again Just such a
pitiful little beggtn' note an' that
came back unopened. After awhile
she even tried again, but he sent it
back Just the same.
MIow did I know? Well, not by
rea'dln' other folk's letters, anyway.

somebody, an I wasn't exactly Mr.

"I had Just swept the last c rumba oS

walked Into the pantry with my heart

"I was so disappointed I could have

addition to the diffused brightness
round the point one may observe seven
or more short rays pointing out from
the center. You will probably see the
samo thing If you look at a street light.
These rays are due to the lines which
traverse the lens of our eye from the
center to the circumference. They are
usually from seven to ten in number,
radiating from the center like the arms
of a starfish. Aa these lines are formed
of lens matter slightly denser and leas

they give rise to these rays of light
The Increased size of the stars Is also
partly due to the fact that the front of
the eye Is never a portion of a perfect
sphere, but is slightly more curved In
one direction than another, the direc
tion and degree of the curves varying
In different eyes. This is readily seen
In the figure In which one pair of lines
look gray and the other pair black. If
the page be held sideways, the lines
which looked gray will now appear
black, and the black lines have become

. A very curious illusion Is due to the
fact that different wave lengths of light
arrive at their maximum sensation tft
different times. Thus If a disc be cut
out, and made Into a top by mounting
It on cardboard and pushing a wooden
match through the center, it will be
noticed that If spun from left to right
the outer band will appear red and the
Innermost one blue. If the top be spun
In the opposite direction, the colors will
be reversed. This Is known as Ben-
bam s color top. In the same way. If
the other disc be made Into a top and
spun, the white band as It la spun from
left to right will appear fringed with
colors.

Did you ever hold a sheet of white

Is called the water mark. Most post
ge stamps are water marked, some
with letters, some with figures, while
others have some simple little character.-
Very few stamps will reveal a
water mark when held to the light but
a simple way to detect them Is to pro
cure an old "tintype" picture. Lay
the stamp upon the back of It face

flrops of gasoline. The water mark. If
the stamp contains one will be readily

A Charmed Life
The scenery along the Kentucky Riv
er above and below Harrodsburg baa
been Justly compared to the highlands
of the Hudson. Towering cliffs, hun
dreds of feet In height Impress the be
holder. In "Historical Sketches of
Kentucky" an Incident Is told of one of
the highest of these.
Jotham 8 trout waa hoeing corn In the
bottom Just opposite the ferry, when
his attention was attracted by a rat
tling nolo above hla head. Looking ap,
he waa staggered at seeing a man tum
bling down the fearful precipice, now
touching and grasping at a twig, now
at a root without being able to check
himself. Finally, with a crashing of
limbs, he landed In the top of a buck
eye tree, about fifty feet above the gen
eral level of the bottom.
Mr. Strout ran to the place with all
haste, dreading to find a dead man, and
not doubting he would be terribly In
jured, If alive; for the distance the man
bad fallen waa one hundred and sev
enty feet and from the last point
where he bad touched the rock to the
top of the tree where he lodged waa
forty-five feet
Fancy Mr. S trout's surprise, then, to
find the man standing erect at the foot
of the tree, feeling of hla arms and
body.
"Are you hurt?" cried Mr. Strout
"That a what I'm trying to find out
my friend," waa the answer. "It's my
impression that I am alive, but rather
sore.
Not a bone was broken, and despite a
few bruises the man seemed to be as
sound aa before the terrible falL
"That fellow bore a charmed life,"
was Mr. Strout's remark whenever he
told the story.

You will fcerer find bur Doc
tor out. He is here to give
advice without charge to thote
who need him 1 those who
don't, sometimes. He doesn t
always recommend the Ayer
medicines, because the Ayer
medicine are not. "cure-alls.
Perhaps if we tear leaf
from his correspondence it will
show you what we mean. Here
is a letter which came last
-March.' ' . ' t,
"DxaX Da. ATiat .
I want your advice for my little boy.
He is getting very thin. He has no appe
tite. He is fifteen years old, Whenhs
was four years old he had rang fever, bat
his health was good until twovears ago.
Since then he is failing fast. The doctors
here say he has the bronchitis. He spits
all the time awful bad. The spits are big.
thick, and white. Yonrs truly,
Mrs. Maboabxt Monro,
Maroh 30, 1900. ; Kinbrae, Mina."
And this is the way the Doc
tor answered Mrs. Murphy :
- Dm Madam i
- We enclose oar book on The Throat
and Lungs, in which we trust yoa will find
just tha information yoa' desire.
- Yon should begin at once the nse of
this Cherry Pectoral for your son, giving
tt ia moderate doses, men procure uiub
rood mens ration of cod-nver oil,
Scott's Emulsion, and give him that as
well. Pay particular attention to his diet,
giving him such nourishing foods as rare
steak. Iamb cnopa, gooa mux, egg, "c
A bore alL keen him oat of doors all that
the weather permits. There is nothing
that will do him more good than plenty of
fresh air. Let him live out of doors all
that is possible. By carrying oat those
general suggestions we shall hope to hear
soon mat your son is in proving iu every
way. Very truly yours,
April 5, 1900. J. C. Aybb."
You See, it wasn't only the
Ayer medicines that we recom
mended. The first idea of the
Doctor was to cure that boy.
The result is told in this letter:
" Dbab Db. Aybb:
" My Uttle boy has improved so much
since I received your advice that I want to
write and tell you how thankful I am.
"When I first wrote you, on March
30, he only weighed 50 pounds, but now
he weighs 8a pounds; and all this gain
since the 8th of April, when I first began
to follow your directions.
" Please let me thank you again for what
you have done for my boy.
July 17, 1900. Maboabxt Muartrr.e
- "Perhaps it was the cod
liver -oil; perhaps it was the
Cherry Pectoral. Probably it
was both. But, more than
either, it was the good, sound
advice the Doctor gave in the
'.first place. v We - are here to
-serve you in-just tne same way,
and we will tell you the medi
cine for your case or tell you
what medicines to avoid. ,
Five out of ten of our cor
respondents need a doctor
rather than a prepared - medi
cine, and we tell them so. If
the doctors only knew it, we
are working with them' every
day.

MEN THE CHEAPEST.
Hlra In Bnaeta Exceeds That
Paid Cor Hamaa Labor.
Ia Russia the wages of a horse are
algher than those of a man, and lioiu o.
of course, very much higher than the
wagea of women. Thus, In the Nlshiil
Volga section, we find the average pay
of man and horse to be about - ivnta
per day; of man alone. 34 cents; that Is,
58 cents for a horse, and 34 cents for
man. The women receive from 10 to
20 cents. In tbe central agricultural
region the average Is: Horse. 23 cents;
man. 29 cents; woman, 13 cents. In the
southern steppe: Horse, 30 cents; man,
25 cents; woman, 18 cents.
This Is an Interesting commentary ou
the standard of living of Russiau agri
cultural laborers. Its meaning is sim
ply that human beings are cheaper than
draught animals. In other words. It
costs less to keep them alive, in the
southern ateppe five women can in- em
ployed more cheaply than two horses.
Is It difficult to imagine the coudiiion
of home life, the dearth or refining in
fluences, the sodden, hopeless stagna
tion that such a state of affairs reflects?
Ia It any wonder that the products of
such a wage status as this are Individ
