That was all; and Flora Macy felt
the chill of disappointment-knew
that the old relation between them
could never be re-establishcd.
But Agatha. on the stairs, seeing
their figures dimly outlined there to-
gether in the waning light, broke out
with dry sob, and fed away from
the sight which was torture to her.

ing steps and followed after hers fear
ing he knew not what. But he lost
her on the way, and, seeking vainly
for time, turned at length towards
the conservatory. The last rays of the
fading western light fell upon the
wide central aisle. Coming towards
him, her face alight with glori us
tenderness, her arms filled with clus-
ters of the beautiful deadly flowers,
was Agatha. She saw him standing
there, struck motionless with horror,
and spoke quietly, but with breath
less intensity.
"Ah, my love! 1t is fitting you
should know my sacrifice. Icould
not live and see another woman
blessed by your dear love, which |

wishing you all happiness with her!

She buried her face among the fra

which held him. He tore them away
from her, flung them back into a far
corner, and rushed away to his labora-
tory. The antidote was there to his
hand; and, despite her action, Agatha
was saved. She did not know it,
though, or realize the assurance of
perfect happiness to winch she awoke

Agatha was contented, though she
knew it would never have tempted

Alleged Facts About Feet,

to put your name in the paper now,"
suggests the newspaper man. "Well,

honest admission. "But, honestly,
girls don't have half as big feet now

when our Sally James used to sport
mines and tens. Ever see them nova
days? Not you. Sarah Jane doesn't
grow now the way she used to. Girls
between sixteen and eighteen have
bigger feet than after twenty to twen-

foot decreases and the muscles grow
more firm. At that time they COM

Costly Prayer Books.

According to the New Orleans
Times Democrat "it has become very
much the style in New York to be
religious, or at least TO go TO church,
and the fashionable maidcns attend
Divine services, as they call it. They
must have handsome prayer-books,
and the dealers have run the price of
these articles up. In regular stock
they keep prayer-books varying in
price from $50 TO Sl6O each, and when
ANYTHING finer is wanted it must be
made to order. The Astors and Van
derbilts use prayer-books for Sundays
valued at about $50 each, and Mrs.
Arson Phelps Stokes has ordered two
silver-bound prayer-books for $50
each, which she intends to give her
daughters. The modern maiden's
prayel book demands consideration
and healthy checkbook into the bar

II Is generally taught that the do
mcstic cat was first domesticated in
Egypt, the Greeks and Romans not
possessing it, and that the cat was not
known TO have lived in Italy earlier
than about nine centuries before the
Crusades. RolIeston claimed that the
domestic cat of the Greeks and Ro-
mans was a marien. Virchow, having
examined the mummics of Egyptian
cats, finds that they had nothing in
common with our household pet, and
that the Egyptian cat was simply a
tame creature, or domestcated savage
like the monkey or gazcIle. A con
trary opinion to that of Virchow has
been expressed by Siglor Saglc, a
distinguished Italian scholar, engaged
OH the magnificent Dictionary of Greek
and Roman Antiquities. In memoir
read the other day before the French
Academy of Inscriptions, lie main
tanned that the cat Of the ancicnts was
identical with our domestic animal.
On Etruscan toombs lie has found
paintings, says the Lcndon Lancet,
which represent the cat as a regu-
lar inmate of the house of the lde-
ceased, one of these pictures showing
us company at dinner, and the cat
toying under the table with bones of
chicken or partridge. Signor Saglio
further refers Professor Virchow to
the British Museum, where on two
water jars belonging to the fl tn ccntu-
ry B. c., domestic cats are represent
ed in a "Scuola Iii Musica." OF these
cats, ono is held by q string, and an
other stands upright on a footslool,
while a boy offers it a dainty. There
are other pictures which, according to
Saglio, prove that the cat was cherished
in antiquity as ono of the most useful,
as well as graceful domestic animals.

Why Leaves Change.

The green matter in the tissue of
he leaf is composed of two colors-
red and blue. When the sap ceases to
flow i'll autumn, and the natural
growth of the tree is stopped, oxidiza-
tion of the tissues takes place Under
certain conditions the green of the leaf
changes TO red; under different condi-
tons it takes on Il : t'.f95 ~ r - brown
tint. The difference in color is due to
the difference in combinations of the
original constituents of the tissue
and TO the varying conditions of eli
mate, exposure and soil. There are
several things about leaves that even
scientists cannot explain. For an in
stance, why one of two trees of the
same species growing side by side in
the same soil should take on bright
red color in the fall and the other a
pale yellow, or why one branch of q
tree will turn a beautiful crimson, and
the one just above or below it turn
dull brown.

At the Preside.

And up the roaring chimney race;
How grateful should we be sweetheart,
For just this little fireplacel

And poor in some things may be;
But here's \ shelter-who needs more2-
And two bright eyes to shine for me.
No sculptured busts, no paintings rare
Crowd the plain mantel and the shelf;
God made the only picture here,
And that sweet picture is-yourselfl
No record old Of ancient lore
Strange wisdom to the place imparts;
In loves content we ask no more
Than just to read each others hearts.
We have no idle dreams of fame
And all our worldly wants are few;

When I've the sweetest name in you?
Lean, golden head, upon my breast
In wealth of wondrous beauty which
Hath crowned my life and made me blest
And kiss me, dear, and make me rich!

(suatemalan Tomatoes.

A Los Angeles (Cal.) paper de-
scribes a tomato tree growing in that
city. 1t is native of Guatemala, and
the fruit grows in clusters, the toma-
toes being smooth and perfectly oval
in shape. They are now g cen, but
they will turn first yellow and then go
to. a glowing red, when they will be
ripe. They taste very much like the
ordinary tomato.

In some places the sea restores some
of its spoils in the form of scaweed
and fishes, which are gathered on the
coast farms and used for manure.
These contain chiefly nitrogen and
phosphoric acid, but are deficient in
lime and potash; and experience has
shown that, while these substances
give liberal returns for time, tbc
soil gradually becomes reduced in fer
tility and unable to yield profitable
crops. 1t is thus with all special fer
tilizers, the effect of which is TO ex-
haust the land of those elements that
are not provided. The remedy is a
simple one. Wood ashes, which con-
tain potash and lime, would balance
the other elements and supply all the
l-~e9s Of the soil.
1t is true that the scaweed contains
large proportion of soda, but this
will not afford a substitute for potash.
By composing the weed and the fish,
or the fish waste from the oil factories,
with wood ashes, or even with lime,
and plaster, the manure would be
made complete, AMI the exhaustion of
the soil would be avoided. Where sea-
weed is abundant there is no doubt
that it might be gathered and dried
and baled for easy transp ortation, and
carried hundreds of miles with profit
for its use as manure, and when dried

valuable antiseptic and deodorizing cf-

"Jim has a future front Of him
That's what they used to say Of Jim,
For when young Jim was only ten
lie mingled with the wisest men,
with wiscst men he used to mix,
And talk Of law and politics;
And every body said of Jim
"lIe has future front Of him"
When Jim was twenty years of age,
All costu ned ready for life's stage,
lie had perfect mans physique,
And knew philosophy and Greek;
He'd delyed IN every misty tome
OF old Arabia and Rome,
And every body said of Jim,
"Ee has a future front Of him"
When Jim was thirty years Of age
He'd made a worldwide pilgrimage,
He'd walked and studied meath the trees
of German universities.
And visited and pondered on
The sites Of Thebes and Babylon;
And everybody said Of Jim,
"He has future front of him"
The heir to all earth's heritage
Was Jim at forty years of age,
The lore of ali the years was shut,
And focused in his occiput;
And people thought, so much be knew,
"What wondrous things our Jim will do ="
They more than ever said of Jim,
"He has a future front of him."
At fifty years, though Jim was changed,
lie had his knowledge well arranged.
An tabulated, systcmizcd,
And adequately synthesized.
Ills head was so well filled within
He thought: Pm ready to begiu,n
And everybody said Of Jim,
'He has future front of him"
1T sixty-No more may be said
At sixty years poor Jim was dead.
The preacher said that such as he
Would shine to all eternity;
In other worlds beyond the blue.
There was great work for Jim to do;
And DER his bier he said of Jim,
Gle has a future front of him.
The great deeds we are going to do
Shine 'gainst the yastness of the blue,
Like sunset clouds of lurid light
Against the background of the night;
And so we climb the endless slope.
Far up the Crownless heights of hope,
And each one makes himself Jim,
And rears future front of him.

AGATHA'S SACRIFICE.

Agalha, hoNeflhg over the consCr-
vatory treasures, fitting from shrub
to shrub, from flower TO flower, ut
tered cry Of delight, and darted
through the gap left in hedge of cac-
tus by the removal of a box. This
was forbidden ground, but Agatha
never stopped to think of that.
Before her, fenced in by screen
of fine wire, was a yining plant,
which, left unprotected, had twincd
and interlwined its tcndrils until it
stood ali impenctrablc mass of foliage,
covered now with budding clusters, a
few OF which towards the top had
burst into early bloom. Glowing,
cup-like blossoms grouped on slender.
waving stems, and seeming to spin
down streams of fragrance from their
rosy hearts. Agatha held her breath
and clasped her hands in silent ccs.

Philip Arm trong, coming slowly
down the borderCd path, caught a
sight of her through break in the
cactus hedge, and cried out in quick
horror. lie sprang forward, his face
blanched deadly white, as hers was
now. lie caught her up, and bore her
out where the marble basin of foun-
tain caught the falling spray, and
trickled over in tiny ice-cCld streams.
She was lying in his arms, still and
senseless. lie dashed the water in
hcr face, and set about chatting her
hands in a manner which would have
appeared cruelty rough but for the in
tense anxiety hi face betrayed. He gave
a sigh of relief when she opened her
eyes langad,y, and then, after a mo-
mcnt, sat up, brushing the moisture
from her eyes.
"What is the matter?" she asked.
"Did I faint? never was so silly be-
fore"
"For heavens sake, never let your
self be caught so again"
The danger past, his usual brusque
eccentricity returned.
"Do you know what you were
doing"
"No-what?"
"Taking an express ticket to immor-
tality, by the shortest and easiest
route"
"What do You mean? Where was l?

"Not SO daring The plant, Agatha,

the direct inhalation of its perfume,

"And it is SO lovely! Is there moth

She regretted her thoughtless speech
when she saw the shade settle down
upon his face.

Apple Orchards.

The gradual decay of the former ex-
cellence of Oregon Apples is a study
worth of the most profound pomolog-
ical research. A few years ago that
state was famous for the production of
the finest variety of apples grown any
where. In size and flavor they were
unequalled. At this season OF the
year winter apples, sound and deli
cious, could be purchased in that mar
ket for from 50 cents to $1.OO per
bushel. The price now for small, de-
ceased specimens ranges from 20 to
30 cents per dozen. says the Portland
'Veicome. Scientific investigation will
prove that the dengeneracy of Oregon
apples is chiefly caused by the calpa-
bic neglect Of orchardists, in failing to
properly prune and cultivate their
fruit trees. Scarcely an orchard can
be found in the fruit producing dis
tricts OF the State that has not been
neglected until the trunks OF the trees
have been covered with moss, with
half of the limbs diseased and dead,
a multitude of sprouts growing up
around their roots. Apple trees thus
left without proper care can never be
restored to vigorous health. The cod
lin moth which stings the fruit, caus-
ing beautiful yellow Newton Pippin
or Belleflower to resemble the face of
a smallpox patient, propagates its
species in the moss coating tine trunks
of the apple tree. There is but one
sure method of restoring the fame of
Oregon as fruit-producing State, and
that is to replace old orchards with
young, vigorous trees grated in thrifty
seeding scions. The process will be
slow, but its success certain.

The Size Of Heaven,

The following calculation, based on
text in Revelations, is both curious
and interesting:
Revelations xxi, I6: "And he
measured the city the New Jerusa-
lem with a reed, $1,000 furlongs. The
length and breadth and height are
equal"
Twelve thousand furlongs-7,92 100000
feet, which being cubcd, is 943,OSS,-
OOO, 100000 0,OOO,OOO,O cubic feet,
and half of which we will reserve for
the throne of God and the court of
heaven, half OF the balance streets,
and the remainder divided by 4,O96,
the cubical feet in room sixteen feet
square and sixteen feet high, will be
3O,S43, $50 ,OOO, 600 rooms.
We will now suppose the world al
ways did and always will contain 9OO,-
100000 of inhabitants, and that a gen.
Grafton will last thirty and one-third
years-2,70O, 900 100000 persons.
Then suppose there were 1920
such worlds, equal to this in number
of inhabitants and duration OF
years, then there would be a room
sixteen feet long, sixteen feet wide
and sixteen feet high for each person,
and room to spare.

DANIEL Webster, in a speech deliv-
cred in Boston in 1920, thus graphical
ly foretold the operation of high pro-
tective law: Hence perpetual con-
test carried on between the different
interests Of society. Agriculture taxed
to-day to sustain agriculture-and
these impositions, perhaps, on both
manufacturers and agriculture to sup
port commerce. lean hardly conceive
of anything worse than policy which
shall place the great interests of this
country in hostility-a policy which
will keep them in conflict-and bring
them every one to fight their battles
in the committee rooms of the House
of Representatives at Washington"
How like prophesy this is, everyone
can testify. The late battles of selfish
interests before the Ways and Means
Committee show how true was Mr..
Webster's prediction.

THE Grand Pacific hotel of Chicago
one of the finest and best known in
America, was sold lately to Levi T..
Letter, and will he torn down. A cur
ious feature OF the sale is that the
hotel is at its prime and blessed with
ample patronage. The location OF the
new Board OF Trade quarters and
many great Office buildings in that
vicinity during the past few years,
however, has caused an enormous rise
in the value of real estate, and the de-
mand for Office buildings is so con-
stantly increasing, that it rendered
the operation OF a hotel there COM
paratively non-productive. After
much discussion by the owners, arbi-
traitors and appraisers were appointed,
who have sold the building and given
up the lease held of the ground to
Letter for 100000. He will put up a
large business block. The price ap-
pears curiously small when it is con-
sidered that the hotel cost over three
quarters OF a million dollars, and the
land covered is among the most valu-
able in the city.
