Meanwhile Flo had run to her own
room. Mrs. Crane had been correct,
there were tears in her eyes; but she
dashed them away as she reflected:
"Auntie is right. Why should | not
marry Herbert Archer? Because I'm
stupid and foolish. Because | can't
forget the past. AS if he ever remem-
bers me! 1t is not likely. Had he,
never would he have been silent. Not

And tlo's cheek flushed as she paced
her pretty room.
II never would have believed IL or

MN as ne has long, long forgotten me,
and to make 1t easier Ill not keep any

Whlle speaking she had unlocked her

What Is the Matter with Paris {.

In bygOsle days the Parisians used to
dance for the benefit of the victims Of a
simeon in Patagonia or some other equally
vague and distant charity. Nowadays
they dance for their own benefit, In order
to make money circulate out of one pocket
into another. A grand ball, we are told,
galvanizes Partisan commerce into life.
This is possible: only, like the water in
the cascades on the stage. this money thus
put into circulation is always the same.
A grand ball was held recently at the
palace of the Tribunal of Commerce. IL
was a very fine spectacle. IL cost some
$4,000 francs, and il put into circulation
among dressmakers. florists, glovers and
corling To the calculations of an ingenious
statistician. who reck0ns that each lady
who went To this ball spent for the occa-
sion 5-poind note on doing up her old
ball dress and buying gloves and flowers.
This idea of the ladies doing up their old
dresses Is lamentable: il shows what a
sad state Paris Is in: how universal aud
profound il the misery.
An yet the other day there were some

Agricultural Work Of Nature.

Professor Henry Drummond remarks
that there can be no succession of crops
without the most thorough agriculture.

work, nature employs other agents. bar

portant thing is to land well on the ball
OF the foot when you walk. III you can't
get the ball of your foot down first, bring
it down just as soon as you do the heel,

three ribs were cut away with a small
ssw. When the abcess was reached a
eube was inserted and all the pus drawn
on, the cavity thoroughly cleansed, and
the flesh put back in place. OF course it
took long time for the wound to heal,
because Of the missing parts of the ribs,

themselves.
