Considering the number of meteoric stones
which reach the earth's surface, it would
not be surprising if many lives had been de-
stroyed by them. 1t is stated that loss of
life resulted from a large fall in Africa; that
about the year 1920 many persons and ami
mails killed; that in 1911, about
o'clock in evening, priest was struck and
killed; and that still later, in 1850, a monk
was killed. But these, according to Mr..

 And the doctor went home, having al- ready effected half of the cure.
 In two days he called again. He found his patient sitting up iri bed, her ey es bent attentively.upon her watch which she held in her hand waiting for a half minute to expire before she could take her menicine.
 "Thls is just as it should be-" said the doctor, in cheerful voice. 1T see by your improvement that you have kept your promise.
 Miss Dickferd swallowed her powder and looked upsat her visitor.
 "Now you seel restless and tired of the bed, and would like to make another move, Said the doctor in confident tone.

 'I knew there would be no difficulty if could only have my orders obeyed," was the reply. The next step in her recovery was walk ing. This had to be undertaken very cautiously, for she had been out of prac- tlce so long that she had entirely forgotten how, and the lessons of her babyhood had | to be taught her over again. It was all accomplished, however in good time, and at the end of three weeks she had thrown aside crutches and all other assistance, and was walking as steady step as any one.
