ThU Is not the part of the country
where the orange groe sre. It is
hard to make a living from the land
nd we hare to make the most of a
very few comforts; but it is lots of
fun, in a way. My darling works
from early to late and I have to do
11 the housework. Imagine me! My
hands are the chief su'.Tcrcrs. Hut
we never see n living soul I moan
ny ine who matters so I don't
mind that. Our nearest neighbors
are ten miles off, butj ns they are per
fectly horrible the distance is rather
an advantage than otherwise. The
life is not exactly romantic. It is a
grim reality. It is very lonely and
very hard. So much the better,
though, for proving my theory, which
you always laughed at. We are more
in low: with each other than ever.
So long as we have each other, what
does anything else matter?" ILtc
Letter 'J "When you write next
tell me what frocks are being woru
and describe all the pretty hats you
see in the shops. It scents dreadful
extravagance to hear of you paying
f'.nil for a gown! 1 can't believe I
ever did such things. When I read
your loiter I said at once, 'Whore
can she got the money from?' I
have two cotton gowns nnd n big
straw hat (in which I look a fright),
and those will have to last a long
time because we are dreadfully poor.
Of course 1 still have all the frocks
I had when we were. married, but one
couldn't wear such tilings here.
Don't think 1 am grumbling, dearest,
but sometimes 1 remember what you
ui'd to say ami wonder whether my
darling husband will not beirin to
hive me h-ss when 1 go around till !
day looking so different front the
smart young lady of the old days, i
Hut this is very wrong and very fool
ish for mi", lie is the most devoted
and loving husband in the world." i

"I must tell you there was one
house particularly which I thought
was the most beautiful I had ever
peon. It was built in the old mission
style with a large open courtyard.
The walls were covered with creepers
of every hue a mass of a hundred
radiant blossoms blending a hundred
perfumes. Around the house was a
big, smooth lawn a greeu lawn,
greener than any greeu you have over
teen aud here and there were some
tropical plants and rpreuding palms
nnd orange trees anil several big gold
en oranges wore lying on the grass.
You can imagine that it seemed hard
to have to turn one's back on such a
paradise to go and look for cheap
lodgings for the night!

ashamed of me if I tell you that tin-

It is with some sense of relief that
we receive Dr. Wardell Stile's declar
ation that a gen
erally languid
mental and phys
ical state is not always due to plain
laziness, but that a germ may calls
it, nnd does cau.se it. Not in all in
Mances, il will readily be understood,
lor it would not be safe yet to throw
the entire burden of moral respon
sibility on a perm, and n germ, too,
tht has just been introduced to us
by Dr. Slilo. In his paper read at
the sanitary conference of American
republics, the doctor made the inter
esting statement that "uncinariasis'
was due to a parasite popularly
known as the hook worm, and that
it vis responsible for the condition
of the so-called "poor whites" in the
taud districts of the south. The
