Below stairs the nares-GiH was lulius tho child to rest with <weat cradle song He had been kept quiet all the long, dreary day by strategy; eoaxed with dainties and amused with fairy stories unfolded to his credulous mind by the nurse who loved to revel in these pleasing fancics herself.
 Arthur wants the baby," said Miriam breaking in on the edge Of dreamland, and clasping her boy with sudden tenacious movement born of grief.
 The nurse resigned her sleepy charge with frightened glance of inquiry into the white face of her mistress. She needed no words to tell that at last the agony of death and parting had come, for the look on Miri- am $ face was plain of interpretation.
 The mother bore away the little son, so soon to become fathcrless, and the tender hearted nurse-girl, turning away, burst into tears.

It Is only as he trains himself to ex- elusive attention to his one duty of the hour that he is able to be natural in dong his one duty of the hour. It is the same with a writer for the press. His ability to write naturally IS result of careful and pro longed training AwlzwardRess of manner in company is an obvious indication of un. familiarity with social life. So fully is ths truth recognized that there are professional trainers in all our large cities who adyer- tse themselves as instructors in the art of entering and leaving d room gracefully, and in using one's hands as if they belonged to the owner. Even cultivated ladies who are to be presented to q sovereign are acCus- toned to take special lessons in advance from some one who can show them how te appear gracefully natural i'll the new sphere they are 10 enter. It is a mistake to sup pose tGat naturalness "comes naturally" to any person in the presence of others. Training is essential to it's possession in every case This is q truth to be borne in mind when we see that one speaks or writes or moves naturally, or when we would our. selves be natural in any one of these direc. tions-S S Times.

 Poor James shrank back from the tower ing form of his wrathful master, wishing he might shrink into space for the time, and stammered out that he "thought he had heard Miriam in the hall the previous evening"
 oraminute Sir Rupert stood irresolute looking about him. Suddenly it dawncd on him that she might have nowu-gore with that impudent, poverty-strielIen Fairfax.
 This exasperated him beyond endurance, and he faIrly shrieSed out his next words in angry accusation.
 "Youare lying, sir; playing the role of hypocritieal innocence. SGe has gone, l verify believe, with that rasealIy lover of hers; and you arc all knowing to it-all in the plot to deprive me of my aQthority-my daughter.
 He waved hIs trembling hand toward the group of frightened, whitehead servants, who had assembled in the hallway, and stood watching, with bated breath, their passionate master. Having delivered this scathing accusation, he strode past them,

 After fruitless search for the willful daughter whom he had loved and hated al tcrnately all her life, he came down again, breathing vengeance lon the whole crew. for their perfidy, and vowing tkat ii would not be good for them If found treachcrous to the interests of Hcathorleigh.

 The parting words of young Fairfax, to which he gave but little heed at the timc aside from treating them contemptuously, rang in his ears now like calls of an ayeug- Ing angel. It looked now very much as If Farfax had not spoken idle words.
 In short time the Heatherleigh trap was flying along the quiet lanes at a break neck speed, and the whole country side was wondering at it's haste Bent on revenge for this insolent dsobedience, he spared no pains to overtake tho runaWayS,
 "Hi, thcrem he shouted to Q man whom he knew, and to whom, at any other time, he would not have dcigned to speak, Hi, there! Do you know of the whereabouts of Arthur Fairfax at prcsent!'
 The laborer doffed his cap and answered, respectfully:
 "rruly, l can not tell you, sir, yet I heard that he was married last evening at All Saints"
 With q muttered imprecation he sped on, and soon the pretty little chapel of Fairhght was passed Earle Fairfax, whose hand some villa smiled down on the far, quiet churchyard of All Saints, would know, per haps. all ab&pt the disgraceful affair.

 "You may go down now, end if l need you will ring for you; otherwise l want no one near me 10 night" Sir Rupert said an hour later, as the punctual butler set down the tray at his masters elbow.
 James was not summoned again that evening, and feeling relieved he joined the servants circle once more, and around the wide chimney, whose hicliering flames and glowing embers lighted up their earnest faces, they sat and speculated ds to where this last estrangement would lead.
 The next day brought great change in the manner of the master of HeatherIeigh. It was as if he had gone through some great sea of sorrow. Absent and soltencd in tone and gesture, he wandered aimlessly about the IialI, thinking
 He opened Lady Percivai's apartments and walked through the long-silent rooms, touching little mementoes of her care here and there gently, as if in communion with the dead.
 After this, he took down Miriam's portrait from where it hung by her mothers, over the marble mantel in Lady Percivals $ pri- vate paror, and cqrried it away to the lonely gallery. Pausing at the end of the row of fated portraits, he looked long and earnestly on the clear, fae features of 1is

TIE GRANDMoTHER's DREAM.

Be quiet heart, my lover comes,
 Ills feet hear upon the stair, And know the lightly springinG ctep That marks spirit free from care. To meet him blushing at the door
 Is we'll, ah well, for life is sweet, Yet who would paint the tender grace That fills the hour when lovers meet. We wander down the orchard lane, Past fru ta2o blooms and lcafy wood, Where singing birds and blooming flowers But hymns our joy 10 God the Good. The pansy spreads beside the way Her innocent upturning eyes, The lowing COWS, the lambs at play, But make q dream of paradise. Be quiet, heart, my husband comes; To hear his step upon to street Our children leave their careless play, And hasten out the.r sire to greet; But baby waits U on my lar,
 And laughs ard coos With baby grace. To tel for me the sil9nt joy
 That fills my heart 10 see his face. The years glide on in shine and shock, And toit is sweet, for love is strong To soothe the try ng scenes of life, And HI our hearts with happy song. Life that though burdenCd yet is love, With rays from Heaven Altering through The canopy that half coaccaIs
 The good to be from mortal view. He cones again, ny husband comes; Ills head is gray, h.s step ls slow, The saae sweet grace h.s presence brings That filed ny heart so long ago. We sit together by the hearth,
 Our children tread lies busy way; We closer clasp our trembling hands And journey toward life's closing day. He comes not, comes not, now again St beside the hearth and wait; No more, TO more lis step hear
 Nor list his whistle at.thc gato. A r.yor dark between Us rolls,
 But God is eool and love is strong; He waits me on the other side.
 Be qu.ct, heart, he waits notlong.

TREATMENT OF )NEss.
Diseases That Are Frequently Followed
 by Loss Of Hair.

by Loss or Hair.
 The lifetime of each individual hair is from two to six years. At the end of that time the hair falls out, and is at once replaced by another which grows from the same root-sheath.
 In a healthy scalp this process con- tinues indefinitely; but in certain dis eases the life-history of the hair is not so long, and the hairs die and fall out before their full length is reached. The next generation may have still less vitality. and the, same process may continue until there is left an area covered with a stunted growth of poorly-developed hairs. Later even these may fall out. leaving patch en- tirely bald or covered with fine, downy growth This condition occurs more frequently in women than in men, and often follows exhausting diseases such as serofuIa, levers and nervous exhaustion.
 In ordinary badness the history is entirely different. Here. the fully grown hairs drop out and are replaced Ut once by the downy ones, and when these disappear, a smooth, shining surface of skin is left. In this case there is an atrophy of the hair bulbs, and consequently the hair can never be restored. In the former case the trouble is due to deficient nutrition, and if this defect can be remedied the hair will grow again.
 1 ni I falI accompanied with high temperature, are usually followed by more or less complete loss of hair. Typhoid fever presents a very notable example Of such an effect. In some forms of neu- ralgia, also. there is a badness along the course of tho affected nerve.
 A very curious phenomenon is the falling of the hair in small, isolated, round or oval patches. which are apt to be at the back Of the head. They are small at first. but gradually in- crease in size away from the center. This condition occurs in both sexes, and especially in the young. Some times there is itching and tenderness in the spot, but in other cases there is no local symptom to give warning of the approach of the disease. The cause of this affection is not surely known, but very likely it is due to some nervous disturbance.
 It is comforting to know that, with the exception of the badness of old age, the loss of the hair may be only temporary. and that, with restoration to health and the removal of the par tieular cause, the ha1rs will grow again.
 A general course Of tonics, with shampooing and proper applications. will give good results. although it is sometimes months before cure is es. tablished.=Y oath's Companion.

DESICCATING THE DEAD.
Now Process for the Disposition of
 Human Bodies.


 Human Bodios.
 A unique plan for the disposition Of the dead, with reference to the preser- vation of evidence in capital criminal cases, was recently laid before the Medico-Legal convention. This sys- tem consists of q scientific process of desiccation by which the tissues are deprived of moisture and kept in a state of complete preservation, and in a condition which renders a critical examination and a chemical analysis of them at any time q simple and easy matter The bodies are to be laid away in sepulchers arranged in with more or less privacy, according to cost, each body to be perfectly ae- cessible at all times. The sepulchers will each have one opening for admit ting the body. In this there will be a plate-glass door, and, outside, a mar ble or metal door for safety. When the outer door is opened the body may be seen, without discoloration or decay. but of course exceedingly emaciated. The preservation of the body is effected by means of current of dry air passing through conduits formed in the concrete of which the sepulchers are composed. which bring the dry air into the sepulchers at one end, while at the other the air-current passes out laden with the gases and moistures of the body, which are car ried to furnace and consumed. so that no deleterious gases or offensive odors can escape to tho outer air. A moderate current of such dry air ac- eompIishes the desired purpose in about ninety days. After the work is finished, the conduits are dramatically closed; oxidization and decomposition are prevented, and the body remains in view through the glass door This mole of disposing of the dead avoids all tho unpleasant feature of ca tn burial and it's attendant uusanitary evils through poisoning the earth and water and storing disease germs to break out in future epidemics. The mauseleum system, as the projectors call it, meets all the objections which cremationists urge against burial, and also meets the objections to cremation. by the preservation of the body. avoiding the shock to the sensibilities which revolt at the thought of destruction by fire of the remains of loved ones. Other advantages of this new process are that it will prevent premature interments. and secure tho body from theft. Many prominent physicians and lawyers have given their approval to this scheme, for which an organization has teen started in New York City. with a view to carry out the plan on an extensive scale. -Demorest's Monthly.

ABOUT HEMORRHAGE.
It Is Frequently Caused by Unhealthy
 Surroundings and Water.

Attention has lately been drawn to what appears to be the fact that there is an intimate relation between hemorrhages and unhealthy surround ings. An observing physician has re- ported several cases which tend to confirm that belief. In one instance a gir. of nine years had for several days severe attacks of bleeding at the nose, which resisted all treatment. It was found that she had Il constant habit of drinking from well, the water of which proved, upon examination, 10 be polluted by surface drainage from adjacent garden plats. As soon as tho wat,r was denied her the attacks of bleeding ceased. Living in the next house was man seventy years old. He. also bled from the nose, and the attacks occurred frequently for many days. The water used by him was frcm tie ame well, and he vas also exposed to another unhealthy in- fucncc. namely, his cellar was stored with vegetables. m0re or less decay
 ing, the smell of which penetrated his living rooms. He was forbidden to drink from the well, and his friends cleaned out his cellar. After that the bleeding soon ceased and he regained perfect health. The same physician noted the strange fact that nearly all the women in q certain particularly unhealthy block suffered from a hem orrhagic tendency. which disappeared as soon as the surroundings were made healthy. He also states that all the serious eases Of bleeding hemor- rhoids which he had to deal with have been cases Of persons living in un- healthy dwellings In tiRs respect, of co tnsc. his experience has been ex- ceptional, but much which he reports is of great interest, and the conclu- sons which he draws are very reason able Sewer gas, polluted water and other unhealthy conditions of that sort must produce in time blood changes which invite the occurrence of hcmorrhagcs. -Bo5ton Herald.

THE GABYS BATH.

The Power ui Effect It Exerts Upon Its
 Healih-Faluable Suggestions.
 There ls no item except care of food that eXerts so powerful an effect upon the infant health as care or neglect of the infants daily bath. Old wives often insist that some children, which means always their children, are too delicate to bathe. Young mothers often are frightened out of giving tho bath daily because the child cries and seems unhappy. It Is not the bath that injures 6 child, but the way in which it is given. The water may be too cod or too hot. There is only one way Of settling this matter with per feet surety, that is with thermom- eter. As a rule the water for bathing ayOang child should be ninety degrees. After 1t is year old the temperature may De reduced to the temperature Of the room. Never begin to bathe an in- fant until every article to be used in bathing and dressing it is laid out ready at hand. One of the most necessa sary articles of the bath is good 5ized tub
 
 for this purpose than the regular childss bath-tab because it is larger, and abundance Of water is necessary. A rubber apron for the mother or nurse that bathe5 the child, and large blanket apron to spread over and en. velop the child when first taken from the bath is a necessity to the child s comfort Do not on any account re- ceive child from the bath on the rub Der apron. T he chill it will receive from such carel essness will counter act all good effects of bathing. Allow the baby to remain in the water from five to ten minutes, never longer. The flannel or D5anket apron should be warmed to receive the baby when it is taken out and the child should be dried with a soft linen towel as rapid ly as possible, rubbing the body with friction towel to stimulate the circu- lation. Dress the little one carefully, uneofering only part Of the body at time. da child is properly bathed 1t will be hungry soon after. Arrange the bath-hour so it will come just be- fore one of tLe morning feeding hours Before the ten o'clock or eight 0 clock hour is usually most convenient If the bath is delayed till before ten O clock it will come b. fore it. long midday nap, and a baby kept fed at regular hours and bathnd regularly at this tune will fail aslerp after feeding if t is well, and often sleep tiil one or two o'clock No in- teIiseat mother g.ill wake up q child to feed it. Itis, however. prudent to regulate the h0ar5 of an infants sleeping as soon as it begins Iife, when most of it5 time is spent in sleeping. Between it's feeding hours of four anl six in the aftern6on the child had best be kept aEakc by gentle mcals. It will then be ready to sleep after its six o'clock meal, and usually will wake only twice or three times in the night, and then only just long enough to be fed. Most healthy babies. however, do wake up at sum- rise, when it is well to feed and take them cut in the morning air, if possl- ble, IS they seem jubilant with high spirits, ready to shout with the bir,is and all nature that the night has passed and the new day has come.
