"The program of what a French girl may or may not do is drawn up very precisely," declares Th. Bentzon (Madame Blanc), in The Ladies Homo Journal for July. "Unless she is poor and has to earn her own living she never goes out alone. The company of a friend of her own age would not be sufficient to chaperon her. It is an established rule that novel readiug is a rare exception. She is entirely subject to her parents' will in the matter of reading. And if she asks to see anything at the theatre except a classical masterpiece, or an opera, they will tell her that such a thing is not considered proper, feeling sure of her silent submission. After she is fifteen years old she is generally allowed to be in the drawing room on her mother's reception days, but must keep to the modest and secondary place assigned her, pouring the tea aud presenting it, courtesying to her elders, answering when spoken to in short, undergoing her ap prenticeship. She has but few jewels, and under no pretext any diamonds. Custom does not per mit her to wear costly things;nor does it give her the right, in gen eral, to have a money allowance worth speaking of for her perso nal use. She receives a trifling sum for charity, her books and gloves. A young girl never takes the lead in conversation, but al ways allows the married lady the precedence, and she finds it quite natural to occupy the back ground." ItlazzieTtlirvoriil.

At the beginning of the last century few varieties were known; and we can go back in history to a time when all apples were little, sour and puckery crab apples and nothing else. The crab apple was and is in its wildness nothing but a rosebush. Away back in time the wild rose, with its pretty blossoms that turn to little red balls, apple flavored, and the thorny crab had the same grand mother.

A green-winged teal is the her oine of Kar nest Neton -Thompson's new story in The Ladies Home Journal for July. After her brood was hatched she started to take them across a pond. "This was a .mistake, "Mr. tietou-Thomp-son writes. "For itexposed them to enemies. A great marsh hawk saw them, and he came swooping along sure of getting ouo in each claw. 'Uun fnrtherushoslVulied out the Mother Green winging, and run they all did pattering over the surface as fast as their tired little legs could go. 'Run! ruu!' cried the mother, but the hawk was close at hand now. In spite of all their running he would be on to thern in an other second. They were too young to dive; there seemed no escape when just as he pounced the bright little mother gave a great splash with all her strength, and, using both feet aud wings, dashed the water all over the hawk. He was astonished. He sprang back into the air to shake himself dry. The mother urged the little one to 'Keep on!' aud keep ou they did. But down came the hawk again; agaiu to be repelled with a shower of spray. Three times did she drench him. Now all the downliugs were safe in the friendly rushes, the angry hawk made a lunge at the mother, but she could dive, and giving a good-by splash she easily disap peared." White Man Tamed Yellow. Great consternation was felt by the friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington, Ky.. when they saw he was turning yellow. His skin slowly changed color, also his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was treated by the best doc tors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach aud Liver remedy, and he writes: "After taking two bottles I was wholly cured. " A trial proves its matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles. Only ")0c. Sold by V. S. Dickson, Druggist. The young girl who is traveling by herself should seek in formation from the train people rather than from her companions on the train. No girl in traveling should make confidants of strangers of either sex, disclose her family affairs, or make acquaintances on the road. She may, however, show kind attention to a mother travel ing with little children, amuse a wearied little one, and politely thank any one who does her an unobtrusive kinduess. Marga ret E. Saugster, in The Ladies' Home Journal for July. "I wish to truthfully state to you and the readers of these few lines that your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is without question, the best and only cure for dyspepsia that have ever come in contact with and I have used many other prep arations." John Beam, West Middlesex, Pa. No preparation equals Kodol Dyspepsia Cure as it contains all the natural digest ants. It will digest all kinds of food aud can't help but do you good. Trout's dru'jr store. Biting the nails is an exceed ingly dangerous practice,, as the biter never knows when to stop, and at any moment is liable to bite into "the quick" and cause blood poisoning. Even when the utmost care is taken of the teeth' a poisonous secretion is apt to collect on them, and the entrance of a minute portion of this into the circulation may prove as cer tainly fatal as the pus ou the sur geon's scalpel. ' You can never cure dyspepsia by dieting. What your body needs is plenty of good food prop erly digested. Then if your stomach will not digest it, Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will. It contains all of the natural digestauts hence must digest every class of food j and so prepare n tnai nature can use it in nourishing the body and replacing the wasted tissues, thus giving life, health, strength, urn bition.puFe blood and good healthy appetite.

The boy who was walking briskly on the railway track looked ini nt the blue sky and sniffed the fresh a if with keen satisfaction. He was a boy of perhaps 1", tall f r his ago and well put together. He was coin fortably d ressed, and over his shoulders swung a canvass bag of the telescope variety. The track was laid ou an embank ment and extended onward in an almost straight lino as far as the eye could reach. The boy could look across the level fields on either side and note the clumps of trees here and there, with the farm houses nestling near and the great woods and far off hills behind. It was o pleasant pros pect, and the pleasure of viewing it seemed reflected on tho boy's face. Suddenly his attention was at tracted by a figure ou the track ahead. It was the figure of a man, and the man was sitting on a tie with his feet dangling down the embankment. The man arose as the boy drew near. He was a young man with a bright face and very bright eyes. His eyes spark led as the boy neared him. "A fair morning, young sir," he said. "Yes," assented the boy. He looked the stranger over. He was tall and slender, his clothes were line, though dusty, and ho bore a valise that showed the effects of much travel. He fell into step with the boy, as they trudged along side by side. "Rather dull for a solitary stroller," said the stranger. "Not dull for me," said the boy. "I'm ou my way home." "That does make a difference," said the stranger. He looked the' boy over. "Been away long?" "Six mouths," replied the boy. "Been at work in a Chicago store. It's my first vacation." "Then 1 don't wonder the pros pect is alluring," said the stran ger. "Usually, though the first homo coming is attended with some little pomp and ceremony. May I ask why you travel on the ties instead of in a private ear?" The boy laughed. "Well," ho said, "it's partly for tho exercise and partly to save tho money. You can't get much exercise, you know, running an elevator at $6 a week. And you can't save much either. So I save a little more aud get the ex ercise, too, by walking the fifteen miles from the junction." "So it's the coming home that makes the walking pleasant," said the stranger. And he softly sighed. "May I ask where you are go ing?" inquired the boy. "You may ask, but I can't tell you," replied the stranger. "I'm a vagabond, a wanderer, a first cousin to the tramp. Last night I was an actor, to-day I'm a tio counter. To-morrow? Oh, well, something will turn up to-morrow?" "And have you no home?" "None that I've any right to claim. I'm the black sheep of the family, my boy, and black sheep are not opular with tho white ones. I've a very respectable brother, and a very grand sister-in-law, and a mother whoso heart I have wrung and whose faith I have abused. There would be no fatted calf for this prodigal." Then his bitter tone suddenly changed. "Not a very agreeable compan ion for a ploasant morning walk, am I?" ho laughed. "I think you are wroug about your home," said the boy. "It doesn't seem as if my mother could help but be glad to see me, no matter how I came nor what I had done. Does't your mother write to you?" "She doesn't know where I am," said tho stranger a little slowly. "I've changed my name and I'm a strolling actor. At least I was. Our company was broken up last night; our manager de serted us, and our baggage was seized. All I possess is what 1 havo on and tho Richelieu cos tume that I wore last night; rath er a slight capital to faco the world with at my ago. Oh, I'm a failure, all right." "It's Richelieu isn't it," quer- ied the boy, "who said there is no such word as fail?" "Kh;" cried the stranger. "But that's only a pretty sentiment in a play." "1 l!u:V it's true, though," sail! the Inn-. "I'm going to bo 'iee ii's true, anyway. I went to Chicago to do great things, and I 1 ramped the streets for ten lays, tired and hungry, looking for work, but I didn't give it up. And when I found a job it was only !KJ a week. But 1 stuck to it, and I've been climbing little by little ever since. And I don't mean to stop. " He paused. "1 guess one thing that kept up my courage was the thought that my mother was praying for me aud that there was a good home with its doors always open wailing for me if the worst came to the worst." They trudged along in silence. "I'm only a boy," said the lad presently, "and you 're a man.but I honestly think if I were you I'd go homo and see my mother and take a rest aud talk things over and start in fresh." But the stranger did not re- riy. Then came a suddeu divorsion. "See this!" he cried. A rail had been taken up and was lying ou tho ends of the ties, the fresh ly drawn spikes beside it. The stranger's faco paled. "Train wreckers!" he gasped, and his bright eyes searched the bush covered sides of the em bankment. v "Hark!" cried tho boy. "The express is coming !" There was a fringe of trees along the track where it curved slightly two miles or more away, and above the farthest tree tops a puff of steam suddenly arose. "It must be flagged !" cried the boy, rnd he looked about him wildly. "Here," shouted the stranger, us he tore open tho tattered va lise. "Flaunt the cardinal's red robe at them." ' The boy sei.ed tho garment. "Halt !" cried the ringiug voice from below. Three men had emerged from the bushes aud were cliinbiug the embankment. Something glitter ed in the hands of tho foremost. "Halt '." he cried agaiu. "Run !" shrieked the stranger. The boy started up the track at full speed toward tho approach ing train, the red robe flaming out behiud him. Tho man with the revolver came up almost abreast of tho boy as the latter sped by. "Halt !"' the muu cried once more and leveled the revolver at the flying lad. But tho stroller, with a des pairing glance about him, had caught up one of the spikes and suddenly 11 uug it witli all his force at tho desperado. His aim was sure. The flying iron caught the ruffian squarely on the side of the head and tumbled him down tho embankment to the very bottom. At the instant he was struck the revolver went off, but the bullet flew wild, and the boy sped on. The other desperadoes, climbing behind their leader, saw his sud den overthrow and hesitated. Then they turned and scrambled down after the bounding form of the injured man and disappeared in tho bushes. The stroller watched their flight with great satisfaction. Then ho turned and looked up the track; Far ahead ho could see the boy w ildly waving the red robe, and still farther ahead was the steam crowned black dot that he knew was the coming locomo tive. Then he heard the shrill shriek of tho faraway whistle and knew that tho engineer had soon the sigual end was applying the brakes. In a moment tho train had rushed by the boy, but its impetus was rapidly slackening, and tho huge mass of 'glistening iron, groaning and panting, came to a dead stop a hundred yards from the lifted rail. Then the boy came dashing up with his hands outstretched. "Have they hurt you?" he cried. "I'm all right," said tho stroll er as he grasped the lad's hand. "Butsay, my boy, you're a plucky one. You never flinched when that ruffian held tho gun on you. You're good stuff." And he grasjx'd the boy's hand again. "I thought sure he'd nail me," said the lad. "What made hiin miss?" "I tossed him an inshootwitha railway spike over the ear," said the stroller grimly. "I guess haven't forgotten all my boyhood cunning. lie's down there in the bushes with a broken bend." .nl then the engineer came running up followed by the con duck)!' aud the (rain crew, with a groupof passengerstrailiug in the rear. 1 The trouble was soon explained and everybody insisted on shnk h inds with the stroller aud tho boy, although the former stoutly declared that tho lad was the only hero of tho affair. And the train hands went down the em bankment and brought up the wounded wrecker, whoso com rades had deserted him and tied. And the battered ruffian was se curely caged in the baggage car, and when this was done every body stood about again discuss iug tho incident and praising the boy and his companion. Aud preseutly one of the pas sengers, :i tall and dignified gen tleman with a little sprinkling of gray in his close cut mustache, came up behind the stroller and gently touched him on the shoul der. As the stroller turned the tall man caught his hand in a firm grip aud drew him a little way from the crowd. "Jim!" he said. "Why, George!" There was a moment's silence as the two men looked in each other's eyes. Then a dull red surged across the stroller's face, and he tried to draw away his hand. But the tall man held him fast. "You're coming home, Jim!" he gently said. ' As the stroller heFitated and half turned away his eyes caught the glance of the boy, and the boy smiled back at him and nodded. It seemed like an answer to the brother's question. "Yes, ' ' said the stroller gently, ' ' "I'm coining home." "Our mother is waiting for you," said the tall man as he put his hand affectionately on the stroller's shoulder. And then they moved a little farther away and stood hand in hand in ear nest conversation. And when the boy looked their way again the stroller was beckoning to him. He came forward, and tho tall man took his hand. "My boy," he said, in a grave and kindly way, "my brother here has favorably impressed me, not only with your courage, but also with your worthy ambition to rise in the world. I mean to help you if you will let me. Finish your vacation, and when you re turn to Chicago come at once to my office. I am quite sure I can find a place that will suit you for the present and at the same time give you an opportunity to prove your worth and your fitness for better things. Here is my card. " A little later, when the train steamed away, the passengers at the windows aud on the platforms cheered the lad by the track side, and on tho very last platform of the private car, the two brothers, side by side, waved him adieu. Then, when the train had quite faded in the distance, he turned his happy face toward home. "I am indebted to One Minute Cough Cure for my present good health and my life. I was treat ed in vain by doctors for lung trouble following lagrippe. I took One Minute Cough Cure and re covered my health." Mr. E. II. Wise, Madison, Ga. Trout's drug store.
