She hesitatcd q moment; then, saying
within herself: II have sung scores OF
times to drawing-ro full of fatl>s, in

audience like this, who would be really

And, besides, she felt that Baldwin
was watching her, as he had watched
her from the moment he had first seen
her; and she was not going to be daunted
by this watchfulness. Rather, since he
was mystifed about her already, she
would puzzle him still more, and turn
the tables upon him by singing in a
manner which he could not but approve.
Accordingly she smiled upon the assem-
bled fishermen, and replied:
"Well, one more if you like, but only
one.''
Without waiting for any answer. she
uplifted her voice, and began to sing
"Auld Robin; Gray with all the power
aud pathos that she could summon to
her aid. 1t was song to which she
was fully capable of doing perfect just
ice, and more than justice. If she
wished for a little triumph, it was not
unnatural, and she had it. Louis gaze,
which at first had been fixed upon her
as if he would have her know that he
was listening and criticising, was grad
ually averted, and directed seaward.
Every rough face of the fishermen was
turned intently toward her. It was an
entirely new experience to her to be
able to awaken this intense, fresh, I'M
sophisticated interest: it strung her up
to CRAFTY it by doing her best. Her
tuneful voice rang out, vibrating sweet
ly in the clear air. As her last notes
died away,
- And Aud Robin Gray is gudeman to me-"
she felt the tears in her own eyes
tears of sympathy and feeling. Bald
win did not speak. Jake, without any
prompting this time, said:
1--WE thank you heartily, miss, and
bid you good afternoon.
"Good afternoon. 1 am glad you
have enjoyed it," replied Margaret,
with that simple and gracious cordiality
which is far more keenly understood
and appreciated by 1.-The p eople'' than
most persons imagine. The men strolled
away, their hands in their pockets, and
as they got more distant, a baritone voice
from amongst them came, like a deep
toned echo,
"Auld Robin Gray is gudeman to me-

him come in at last, and she let up ON

The General was not OILY a charac-
ter. but he possessed some better quail
fications for the Office than have ever
been identified in his predecessors.
If he had remained there would have
been realized an average advantage
One of his peculisrities was his candor
and his healthy and forcible way OF
saying what he thought. Years ago
there was lady clerk among his count
ers who had been appointed by the favor
of Stanton. and who, not being quite
strong, was often restless and uncom-
Portable. Work and dependence were
in severe contrast with her former sta
ton, and she chafed under the restraints
of Government servitude. One summer
she had obtained her months vacation,
and at the end of it she wrote me from
her summer resort, asking me to plead
with the General for an additional thirty
days. went at once to see him, and,
being soft-hearted fellow, I began
speaking of her worthiness as a lady
and her faithfulness and efficiency as a
clerk.
Directly the General broke out and
made the room fairly blue with pro-
family. 1t is wonder the old man was
never fined for swearing. because it is
not only habit to be condemned, but
it is in violation of the law. Almost
every day one Judge Smell compels a
money compensation from people who
swear, and on one occasion he sent
woman ''up' for thirty days-not being
able to pay down the cash price-fOr
swearing at her husband for not bring
ing in the '.kindling wood" which was
severe on the old woman under the cir
cumstances, and a deprivation to the
family circle. If the General had been
liable to the law the entire resources of
the Treasury Department would not
have kept him out of Jail.
AS said, he began to objurgate, as
the Sunday papers put it. Said he: Il
have no doubt she is fine woman, good
pedigree, and all that; but you can't tell
me anything about her being good
clerk. I know more about that than
you do, and know she gives US con-
demned sight of trouble" For polite.

The Value of Exercise.

The value of exercise is always de-
pendent on the special needs of the par
ticular organism exercised The body,
as a whole, inclusive of the brain, and
therefore of what we are wont to call
1.-THE mind" is composed of a number
of essentially separate, though COM
bined, contrioutory and independent
parts or apparatus.
Health is the result of the harmoni-
Gus working together of these systems.
Each one for itself obeys the universal
law that living organism feeds as it
works. But as all, so to say, dine at
the same table, if one is unduly-that
is, cessively-exercised, SO that it re-
quires disproportional amount of food,
some other part or parts, perhaps the
weakest, will be deprived of its natural
supply, and suffer in consequence
Speaking generally, it may be said that
the food Of the entire body is supplied
from central and common source,
that each system nourishes itself as its
special needs or impulses require, and
that its consequent strength or energy
is dependent upon or centered in the
local apparatus. Thus some individuals
are well nourished and energetic as re-
CARDS their mental system, while they
are starved and weakly of body. Others,
again, are muscular, but deficient in
mind power.
If any one part of the body, as
whole, be overworked or underfed, it
is not likely to be beneficial, but the re-
verse, to overwork some other part.
Nothing is gained by exhausting one
part of the organism because another is
exhausted. Practically GOVERNORS"
means work which does not strengthen,
but weakens. It may either be excess
i've in quantity or bad in quality.
Whatever the defect may be, it must be
remedied locally-that is to say, as re-
CARDS the system which is at fault, not
by setting some other system in action.
In those cases which seem to be benefited
by prescribing muscular exercise for
mental work and worry entailing sleep
lessness, the good gained is not due to
the exercise of the muscular system,
but to the relief of the brain.
Only in so far as increased muscular
exercise may quicken the pulse and
promote assimila ton does the physical
exercise of the brain worker advantage
his mental health. 1t is physiological
" impossible to repair the effects of nu-
triton in one part of the organism by
making some other work and feed.
There is. however, always behind and
underlying these special considerations
that all important one to which we al
luded just now; namely, that health
consists in the harmonious working to-
gether of all the parts or systems of the
organism. Therefore, to establish a
normal state the wise liver should so
order his life and work as to give every
part of his organism sufficient incen-
tive to nutrition. This can only be ac-
complished by insuring the activity of
the body and mind throughout. Cen
eral exercise must be made up of par
ticular exercises. as general sleep is the
sum of particular sleeps.-The Lancet.

"A French physician has tried to
discover the psychological influence of
trades, and finds that persons dealing
in sweets like candy have a slightly
morose disposition, which gives women
the air of conceit; paper dealers and
booksellers are supposed to be uncom-

dealers are represented to be specially
gentle and patient, and all leather
goods are said to have naturally 8

She lay awake, acting over again in
her mind the scene which had taken
place, but hearing distinctly, beyond all
else, and as if they were being uttered
in her very ear, the few brief and de-
liberate sentences which the young sur
geon, Louis Baldwin, had spoken. The
sun had already begun to make light in
the room, the first birds to utter their
earliest twitters, before she at last
dropped into an uneasy sleep.

The kindergarten What is It?

There are so many mistaken ideas con-
corning the kindergarten in every COM
munity, it may be gratifying to those
who are interesed in it, to know as much
concerning ii as few brief sentences
will allow.
Its discoverer, Froebel, man OF a
profoundly philosophical and mathemati-
cal mind and having learned from the
mistakes made in his own early training
that there were serious defects i'll the
methods employed in teaching young
children, was led to devote years OF pa
tent study to the finding OF some course
of instruction that would develop har-
moniously, the three-fold nature OF the
child. The kindergarten system is the
outgrowth OF those years of toll. 1t Is
based upon the self-activity of the child,
upon knowing by doing. What false
idea to associate the playthings OF the
tov-shop with the material used in the
Kindergarten Froebel's gifts and occu-
pations are freighted with deep meaning
Through them, the perceptive powers are
cultivated, the reasoning faculties are
developed, the ability to compare, upon
which all correct scientific investigation
depends, is largely increased. The skill
to reproduce, to invent, is acquired, anC
a consciousness OF power dawns upon thu
child, which is in itself force to impe
forward in the path of investigation ant
study.
Future years will surely bear fruit i
increased mechanical and artictic skill
in love for scientific pursuits, in greatly
power, and above all, in lives OF usefu
ness and virtue.
In SO brief an article, the worth OF til
the kindergarten can be but imperfect
set forth; but the best proof OF its Walt
will always be the testimony OF paren
who have seen the beneficial effects u
on their children, physically, mental
and morally.

holding about fifty lemons and only two

with short stems, and so handled as not
to be bruised. The boxes are at once

the rind, and leave your fruit in an UNI

the burning Goals an ounce OF flowers OF

the room is small and tight the cloth is
not necessary.
"Allow the fruit to remain i'll dark
