Sibyl Sartoris, as she stood beneath
the grateful shade of the locust tree

kissing winds of summer we're baimy
with the perfume of the rose leaves that

dreamy, languid fashion, aad yet be-

under the air of Aautewr that sat 50 well
upon the finely-chiselled lips, there was

continued, pressing the velvety petals of
the flower against lips that were equally
soft and crimson; you would not, If

Tor the melon patch.
But ere the little bunionless feet that
peeped out so cOquettishly from beneath
the deecy white dress had taken many
steps, SlbyI felt q touch upon her of

face to face with Bertram McMurtry.

Just as much," he answers, drawing
her 1.-the form over in his ward.

In the event of the establishment of
postal savings banks in this country,
where deposits as small as one cent may
be received. a good opportunity will oc-
cur to test the old prOverb which ad-
monishes US to take care of the pence
and let the pounds take care of them
selves. In England last year such
small deposits aggregated 81, 900.
Another instance of the result of this
policy is afforded by the fact that the
Bank of England has obtained SIG, 800

ments of transactions involving frac-
tiOns of pennies.

Hot and Gold Drinks.

A correspondent of Knowledge calls
attention to some of the disadvantages
of hot drinks. Cold drinks, he says, are
natural to man, though most people
nowadays are so used to hot drinks
that they do not feel really
stimulation-unless they have them
Hot drinks are injurious to the tongue,
for they deaden its sensation, and, after
taking hot soup or drink. the tongue be-
comes quite numb, and unable to taste
are greatly injured by them, and many
dentists say carries decay is due to
them alone. They crack the enamel,
and thus allow carries to set in. When
carries has once set in, hot drinks are a
common cause of neuralgia.
Hot drinks are specially hurtful to the
stomach. They cause irritation of the
nerves of the stomach and consequent
mild Inflammation of that organ, SO that
after hot drink the stomach is red and
congested; in time debilitated condi-
ton is set up. A temperature of 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit also destroys the active
ferment of the gastric juice-pepsin-
and so leads to indigestion. If the stom-
ach is at all disordered, hot drinks give
rise to much gripping pain, and in many
cases to vomiting.
In cases of diarrhea, too, hot drinks
only increase it, while cold ones tend to
lessen it. Thirst is not common in win
ter, unless sugary, salty or hot spiced
foods have been taken. In cold weather
the air contains more moisture than in
hot, and in cold weather there is less
perspiration. Hot drinks increase the
volume of heat in the body, and if that
is not required it is quickly got rid OF
by the skin. Water is the best thirst
quencher, but if simple food be taken
the need of drinks will be small. Many
vegetarians drink nothing from month
to month, the only fluid they get being
the juices of the fruits which they eat.
But pleasant drinks, like tea, coffee,
etc.. may be taken lukewarm for a long
time with little apparent damage. The
least injurious is cocoa, made with
plenty of milk, and allowed to stand
until nearly cool. A good test is to ap-
ply the little finger to the drink, and if
it be not hot to it, then it may be safely
taken.

Kaiser Williams Uniforms,

The Emperor Williams uniforms
comprise one of each of the regiments
{; the guards and of the body regi-
rents, one each of Baden, Bavaria,
Saxony, Wurtemberg, four Russian
Uniforms, and one each of his Austrian
regiments of the line and hussars. The
civilian suits are elegant and chiefly
dark, although light pair of trousers
is now and then tolerated. The regular
head covering is the high silk hat. The
hunting suits are rarely renewed, on
the principle, probably that the older
the better. Perhaps the most remarka-
BILE piece is the emperors brownish
gray hayelock. which he wears in the
spring and fall in his drives, and with
which, though % years old, he is not
willing to part. All his uniforms and
suits were made by member of the
same family. whose predecessors pre-
selted the young Prince Williams with
his first uniform. Numerous as the
contents of his wardrobe are and have
been, it has never held a dressing
gown.

Thew Wou1dn't T1on

A little boy named Eddie Wells, SO
says the Louisville Commercial, met
with a severe accident recently at the
home of his parents on Payne street.
Eddie is about eight years of age, and
is considered by his playmates as 3 very
daring and reckless lad. Forsome time
he has been at work upon a patent pair
OF wings which would enable him to
soar through the air like an eagle. He
reasoned that if he could make some
wings large enough and light enough,
there was no reason why he should not
fly as well as a bird. Accordingly he
made two large wings out of light pa-
per, SO contrived that they could be
fastened tightly to the arms. When
they were completed, he assembled his
companions to witness the success of
his scheme. He assembled high shed
that he might have a clearer road. He
fastened on his wings and with a crow
and flap, leaped off, full of sanguine
hopes that the treacherous air would
buoy him up. He no sooner released
lis footing than he fell to the ground
axe rock, the wings that were to soa1
Tim aloft adding to his weight and in
creasing the heaviness of his fall. He
struck upon the left leg, breaking it
jast below the knee. This will probably
Put an end to his wild inventions.

The Hga of the Cat.

A member of the Hartford county bar.
in relating some "reminiscences of the
court in times gone by, told of a case
wherein one of the famous advocates OF
that time had badgered and crowded q
witness until he lost his temper The
witness incidentally said something
about cat, and the crafty lawyer seized
upon this as a means of still further
worrying the witness.
..How old was the cat?" asked the at
torney.
81 don't know" was the answer.
''How old do you think she wasp
cit was Tom-cat."
81 didn't ask about the sex of the cat,
l asked how old it was.''
''You asked how old she was"
"Weli, how old was that cat?"
81 told you | didn't know
swell, how old do you think?''
''Oh, l can't tell"
.You can't tell how old you think
she was"
81 tell you, don't know"
"Now," said the attorney, II want a
plain answer to plain question. How
old do you think that cat wasp
The witness looked straight at the at
torney, whose shining bald head was
the most prominent feature of his fig
ure, and calmly said, son, can't guess
how old the cat was, but she was old
enough to be hald-headed.n
The lawyers ruddy face assumed a
deeper hue, the spectators and men,
oers of the bar Uttered, and even the
stern features of the court relaxed into
q smile at the answer which ended that
line of cross-questioning.-HarJ0

Saving the Train.

The usual crowd of autumn liars
were gathered together in the store, oc-
cupying all the grocery seats-the only
gross receipts that the proprietor took
no pride in-when a little, blear-eyed
weazen-faced individual sneaked in by
the back door, and skunk into dark
corner.
That's him. said the ungrammati-
cal hummer with a green patch over
his left eye.
"Who is it?'' asked several at occe.
''Why, the chap who saved train
from being wrecked" was the reply.
Come, tell us about it, they de-
manded, as the small man crouched in
the darkness, as if unwilling that his
heroic deed should be brought out under
the glare of the blazing kerosene lamp.
After much persuasion, reinforced by
a stiff horn of applejack, he began:
1T was just such night as this
bright and clear-and l was going
home down the track. when, right be-
fore me, across the rails, lay great
beam. There it was. Pale and ghaSt-
ly as lifeless body, and light as it ap-
peared, had not the power to move it.
the night express was laundering down,
and soon would reach the fatal spot.
Nearer and nearer it approached till,
just as the cow-catcher was about lift
ing me, sprang aside, placed myself
between the obstruction and the track,
and the train flew on unframed"
The silence was SO dense for a mo-
ment that one might have heard dew
drop. Presently somebody said:
What did you do with the beam?"
81 didn't touch it," he replied; ''but
it touched me-"
"Well," persisted the questioner, eff
you couldn't lift it, and didn't touch it,
how in thunder did the train get over
it?''
''Why, don't you see?" said the sad
faced man, as he arose from his seat
and sided toward the door. 1.-The OBJ
struction was moon-beam, and
jumped so that the shadow of my body
took its place, and
Bang. flew ham against the door;
and if it had struck the body of the re-
treating hero, there would have been a
much bigger grease-spot frescoed on
the panel. -Drake's TrdUeIerS' Magazine.
