SHE WAS FROM THE COUNTRY,
But She Made the State-st. Louneers Turl

The prett;est girl seen on Safest for
many a day was out shopping last Thurs
day, says the Chicago Heroid She was
obviously 4 country girl, with a country
girls curiosity concerning the shops, the
show-windows, the cable cars, the women
and the men on the street. She WIS
accompanied by plain and midJie-aged
woman. probably an aunt. and young
man, perhaps lucky dog of a cousin.
Her escorts were proud OF her, rs they
had Alright to be. Not that she was perfect,
Tor she was far from it. Tall. slim, angular
of body, awkward OF motion, clumSily
attired in a Gown which neither fitted
her nor. in color suited her complexion,
with an ugly liatand 4 gaWkv manner. she
nevertheless created a sensation wherever
she went. Men and women alike paused
to look at her. Her face WaS-whcTe Is
there an adjective for this face? "BeaUti-
iul' Is too commonplace; pretty" only
suggests the picture; sublime is too
lofty; divine well, il was not a divine
face. il was heshly, sensuous. The eyes
were sparkling, laughing, not dreamy, am
gelic. The wayy. light brown hair tossed
its ringlets about saucily. There was a
smile on the lips which dispiaycd, now

pure and delicate as those ON

rounded cheek and the oval face and ran

Did this simple country maiden know she

whereon to grow such flowers without

clean of hearts as drove of Texas steers
would sweep it of petticoats. The people
not only watched her, hut talked
about her Even the clerks in the
stores neglected their customers to

"Oh, what could she not be with 500 and

Some experimental researches made by NJ

CHAPTER V.
~ UNwELcoNG GUEST.

An hour later, still in the cleaning
moonlight, Mr.. Biddulph landed at the
little pier at Dunbaan. He had seen Miss
Stewart and her friends safely home. and
then had returned across the loch. and.
having quilted his boat, walked on alone
toward the house.
Is he entered the avenue he frowned
when he saw the disfgured tree where his
own hand had so rudely cut and hacked
the bark. The moonlight showed this
very plainly, for it lit each fading leaf and
bough, the shadows OF the tree falling
with extraordinary distinctness on the
mossv, sOddened sward.
He frowned, and his thoughts went
from the sweet woman he had Just Quilted,
from gay words and mirth, 10 a woman
who was sweet no longer, and whose
memory was banetul to his heart.
He gave an impatient gesture and a
sigh. and then 4 sudden start Good
heavens! was he mad? On this tree. on
that tree, on seemingly half dozen trees
the same name that he had erased the
other day was now freshly carved:

The Use OF Water at Meals.

Opinions differ as 10 the effect of the free
| ingcstion of water at meal times, but the
view most generally received isprobably that
1t dllutes the gastric juice and so retards di-
gestion Apart from the fact that moder-
ate delay in the process is by no means a dis
advantage, as SIR William Roberts has shown
in his explanation of the popularity of tea
and coffee, it is more than doubtful whether
any such effect is in reality produced. When
ingested during meals, water may do good
by washing out the dgested food and by ex-
posing the undgesied part more thoroughly
to the action of the digestive ferments. Pep
sin is catalyptic body, and n given qlanti-
ty will work almost indefinitely provided the
peptones are removed as they are formed.
Good effects of water, drunk freely before
meals, has, however, another beneficial
RESULT washes away the mucus whsch is
sccreted by the mTcus membrane during the
intervals of repose, and fayors peristalsis of
the whole allmentary tract. The membrane
thus cIeanscd is in much better condition
to receive food and convert it into soluble
compounds. The accumulation of mucus is
specially well marked in the morning, when
the gastric walls are covered with thick,
tenacious layer. Food entering the stomach
at this time will become covered with this
tenacious coating, which for time protects
1t from the action OF the gastric ferments,
and so rctards digestion. The tubular con-
lracled stomach, with its puckered mucus
lining and viscid contents, a normal condi-
ton in the morning before breakfast, is not
suitable to receive food Exercising before
partaking of a meal stimulates the circula-
ton of the blood aud facilitates the flow of
blood through the vessels. A glass of water
washes out the mucus, partially distends the
stomach, wakesup perlstalsis, and prepares
the alimcntary canal for the morning meal
Observation has shown that non-irritating
liquids pass directly through the "tubular'
stomach, and even if food be present they
only mix with it to II slight extent. Accord
ing to DIR. Lieut. who has made this subject a
special study, cold water should be given to
persons who have sufficient vitality to react
and hot water to others. In chronic
gastric catarrh it is extremely beneficial to
drink warm or hot water before meals and
salt is said IN most cases to add to the good
effect produced

HORSE-CH EsTNUTS-A FANCY.
My heart. my heart.
To life did start,
And blossom with the blooming spring;
My soul did move
With April love,
And grew with every greening thing.
Fair buds the beech
Too fair for speech
of mine to show its changing mien.
How soft and slow =
First green glow.
And then mist, cloud of green.
soft covering they,
The tasses gray
That hang the willow branches ALL
And soft the blush
That pink doth flush
The apple tree above the wall.
Not so, not 50,
My love did grow
As these do sprout-invisibIy;
Scarce can one tell,
Nor reckon well,
The day. the hour, their birth did sec.
But mark the way
That long ere May
The fans do cothe the chestnut-trees:
On each curved twiH
The buds grow big,
And shineth bronze-like in the breeze.
To-day it's sheathed,
Tomorrow breathed
Upon by every wind of morn,
And the trees stands
With thousand hands
Of young green, since the midnight born.
And so-yes, So
My love did grow,
Fed by the breeZes and the sun,
Till, bathed in dew,
My spirit knew
Its fragrant summertime begun.
In thy sweet eyes
My sun did rise;
Thy voice made April wind-puirs rude.
And at its call
My longings all
Fullbudded into lovings stood.
One day, one hour,
And all the power
OF love I'd sought not mastered me,
And all my mind
No thought could find
Not green with newborn hopes of thee.

Wonders of WOOdcraft.

st. Nicholas
OF all the wonders common to hunting.
life and woodcraft none seem to me half Sc
wonderful Ms tracking or trailing. AS prac-
tlced by man, tracking is wonderful enough
but far more marvellous is the power by
which dog or fox can follow its prey al
full speed guided only by scent, without err.
ing or being led astray.
To us the word scent has but little mean
ing it is the name of a power with which
man is, comparatively, almost unendowed,
We go into the woods and see nothing but a
leaf-strewn ground, thinly scattered over
with herbs and thickly planted with trees
we see no quadrupeds, and find no signs of
any, save perhaps the far-away chatter of Il
squirrel. But our dog, merrily carcering
about, is possessed of a superior power. AT
every moment of his course he is gathering
facts and reading wonderful record of the
past, the present, and even the future.
Here, says his unseen guide, lis where a
deer passed n minute ago" or"an hour ago.
"this was the course of a fox week ago -
that was the direction in which Il rabbit
flew by few minutes ago, and, ono there
was weasel after him !"
Such is the curious record of scent. reveal
ed to the dog but hidden from the man, and
even ineXplcable TO him, for though we have
tDeOrctlCal KnOWleugC OF the subject, ii Is
too imperfect to mekeus fully understand that
not only has every kind of animal, but each
individual animal, its own peculiar scent.
Thus, the dog can distinguish not only the
bucks, does and fawns of the deer tribe, but
can pick out ola dozen the track of the
particular buck he is following, and never
leave it or lose it. Moreover, he can tell by
the scent which way the animal is going, and
he is never know to run backward on n trail.
Now, when we compare this wonderful pow
er with our own feeble sense of smell, we
will be ready to admit that it is faculty of
which man comparatively has little.
Let lis suppose that you were to awake
some fine morning and find that, us in the
old fairy tale, mighty genius had conferred
on you new and wonderful faculty, that

records with even greater accuracy and ease
