The Family Circle.


He'was a busy man and she was a
society woman. One evening he sud-
denly looked up from his paper and
said: '
"By the way, didn't we have a baby
in this house about the time Midland
Broad-Gage went up to SO ?"

"Boy, was Z" he said with a show
of interest. 81 had forgotten must
be about 7 months old by this time.
Where is he ?"
She touched bell, a servant APP
peared, and she ordered Oscar to be
brought into the presence of his sire.
Instead of whom the weeping nurse
appeared alone, and with many tears
confessed that the infant Oscar had
been kidnapped in the park six weeks
before, and that the most careful
search had thus far failed to reveal
his whereabouts. Thus we see that
wealth is no barrier to sorrow, and
even into the homes of the rich great
trouble creeps with its stealthy tread,
and sometimes breaks up whole
evening of enjoyment. -Burdette.

PREPARING FOR THE FALL Trade
The Pennsylvania railroad company
is getting its equipment in condition
for heavy business during the fall.
The coal cars are being made of the
standard capacity of $4,000 pounds
each, an increase of 10000 pounds,
and the whole freight service is under
going repairs. An officer of the COM
pany states that careful estimate of
a prospective fall business has been
made by its agents who declare THAT
the movement Of grain will be very
large. Reports from almost every
point show good crops, and further
more, that there would be unusual
activity in trade, and therefore an in
creased movement of other classes of
freights in the fall months. The in
crease in the capacity, of the coal cars
was intended to meet an extra demand
for coal which is looked for in con-
nection with a revival of the iron in
dustries. All the shops of the COM
pany, which have been working on
reduced time for the past two months
in consequence Of a lack of repair
work, are to be put on full time again
next week, when the overhauling of
freight and passenger equipment will

The centre of human happiness,
says DR.. Ward Richardson, is not in
the brain but in the vital nervous sys-
tenn, in the great ganglia of the SYM
pathetic, lying not in the cerebro spin
al cavities, but in the cavities of the
body itself, near the stomach and in
the heart. The man who is miserable
is a hypochondriac; his affection is
seated under the lower ribs. No man
ever felt miserable in his head. Every
man who has felt misery knows that it
springs from the body, and speaks of
it as an exhaustion, sinking there;
he is bent down because Of the central
failure, and his own shoulders, too
heavy to be borne, feel as if oppressed
with an added weight or burden, under
which he bends as though al the cares
of the world were upon him to bear
him down.
