Yet they had money, 1t seems, to go
to Saratoga.
"That's just it. If they were starv-
ing themselves there might be some ex-
cuse. But people that can afford to go
to Saratoga can surely afford to help

Il don't believe Miss Whitby has had
anything to eat for a week, except what
I've sent up to her
what name did you say?" asked the
Doctor, a strange feeling coming over
him.
"Whitby She's an own sister to
Lawyer Whitby, who has the pretty
daughter"
81 will go up" said the Doctor. "As
you say, may do some good.
"Good heavens said the Doctor to
himself. as he rode away, what an es-
cape have made. To think that there
should be such people in the world.
Poor apd proud Poor and proud
That, I suppose, is the whole story.
To keep up appearances they let their
own flesh and blood die of starvation.
The last time / made morning call at
the Whitbys, Miss Clara was sitting in
the drawing groom, in costly slippers
and morning dress, dawdling over a
novel. What shams they are 1t Is
clear, too, that the heartless indiffer-
ence of her relations is Fastening this
poor old creatures death"
"Oh, yes. She sent, l know, just
before they went off to Saratoga. She
was too sick to go herself, so she wrote
a note and got my eldest boy to take
it. But her sister-in-law wrote word
back that they'd enough to do to take
care of themselves"
DR.. Burnet did not go to Saratoga.
The Whitbys wondered why, and still
hoped he would come, till, at last, their
time was up, and they were forced to
go home. But, when there, the mys-
terry was explained. A note was found
on the table, which had been left there
that day, announcing the death of their
aunt. The note was in the handwriting
of DR.. Burnet. A little inquiry re-
vealed to the Whitbys that the Doctor
had supported the invalid during the
last month of her existence, and even
made arrangements for her burial, "un-
less" as the note said in conclusion,
MIR Whitby as the nearest relative,
would prefer assuming direction of the
sad ceremonies.
They saw that no explanation that
could be made would satisfy the Doc
tor. SO they did not attempt it. But
Mr.. Whitby paid the undertaker's bill,
and forwarded a check to DIR. Burnet,
in a formal note, for professional SER
vices The check was returned in n
blank envelope.
Dr. Burnet is now married. He first
met his wife, we happen to know, in the
house of poor family, where the same
common humanity had led them both.
He met her there several times, and
had fallen in love with her before he
knew her name. At last she passed
him one day in one of the stateliest
equipages of the city. But he married
Helen Wakefield. not for her fortune,
but for her accomplishments and work.

attempted bonds of restraint, and, like
an insatiate demon. swept on, through
blocks devoted to squalor, vice, and pow

So rapid was the march OF the fire

magnificent "fire-proof" buildings had
gone up in flame and smoke, and down
in twisted iron and broken fragments of
brick and stone. At o'clock the Court

pealing what seemed a parting knell as

HOttled Sugar.

The author of "Under the Punkah"
tells an amusing incident Of his life in
India. He had given to tame mon
key lump of sugar inside a corked
bottle. The monkey was of an inquir-
ing mind, and the effort to get at the
mystery the sugar -nearly killed
him. Sometimes, in an impulse of dis
gust, he would throw the bottle clear
out of his reach, and then be distracted
until it was given back TO him. At
other times he would sit with counte-
nance of the most intense detection,
contemplating the bottled sugar, and
then, as if pulling himself together for
another effort at solution, would stern
ly take up the problem afresh and gaze
into the bottle. He would tilt it up
one way aud try to drink the sugar
through the cork, and then, suddenly
reversing it, try to catch the sugar as
il fell out at the bottom. Under the
impression that he could catch it by
surprise, he kept rapping his teeth
against the glass in futile bites, and,
warming to the pursuit of the revolv-
ing lump, used to tie himself into regu-
lar knots around the bottle. Fits Of
the most ludicrous melancholy would
alternate with these spasms of furious
speculation, and how the matter would
have ended it is quite impossible to say.
But the monkey got Loose one night
and took the bottle with him; and it
has always been a delight to me to
think that whole forestfuls of monkeys
have by this time puzzled themselves
into fits over the great problem of bot
tied sugar.

ings now stand, wild animals were
hunted and shot. In the early
days the prairies were infested
with wolves, and wolf hunts upon ground
now covered with fine residences are
prominent among the memories of the
early settlers.
From 1910 the growth OF the city was
steady and rapid. In 1850 il contained

had become 100, 2O6 The war proved

ing 10 its population but vastly increas-

importance. In 1870 il had passed the
three. hundred thousand mark and taken
its place among the foremost cities of the
country.
As the great civil war is used as a
point of time from which the most of our
people date and antedate events, so the
Chicago fire has provided the residents of
the city with starting point from which
all historical occurrences and private eX-
periences are reckoned.

Tho Potato Crop and starch.

The poor potato yield this year will
have a disastrous effect on the wearers
of linen shirts. Why? No potatoes,
no starch; no starch no white shirts.
Therefore, some enterprising citizen
might make fortune by purchasing
all the flannel shirts which now sell at
such tempting figures and secure a
corner" on them. The fact that the
crop is so small that there will hardly
be enough potatoes for table use, let
alone for starch factories. will make
the individual who can boast of a
generous array of flannel shirts a per-
son to be envied Potatoes now sell
at Is cents to 81 bushel, while last
year they could be had at from ID
cents 10 % cents. Therefore, mer-
chants feel as though the demand
could hardly be supplied. The first
crop was a failure, and hopes a)e CEN
tered on later crop. If that turns
out poorly. potatoes will be classed
with such Injuries as ice and coal.

ward simplicity OF design and uniformity
OF color, while the friezeS are looked 10
with special care as to their decorative and
| finishing effect.
A singular and striking anomaly in the
habits OF present-day people, is the great
contrast IN the amount aud kind of clothing
worn during the day and at night, especi
ally in winter. When the air is cold and
| the weather 1nclement, 1t is the general
custom to wear garments Of extra tickness
and warmth, and to sit around roaring fires.
But on going to bed, ninety-nine cases out
OF a hundred, people pass from the warm
living rooms into chilly bedrooms
Conventionality has habituated one to
custom; but a really serious contemplation
of it cannot fail to make the utter absurd
lty of the custom clearly apparent. If thin
night garments are worn and cold sheets
preferred, 1t stands to reason that the
warmth both lack should be present in the
atmosphere. To heat the body and then TO
suddenly deprive it of its caloric, is con-
trary both to science and common sense.
Dwellers in foreign coun tries almost inyari-
ably sleep in flannel garments. and the
bachwoodsman wraps himself in d stout,
wooden blanket, and defies the elements.
They are sensible. The human frame
should. undoubtedly, be clothed in wooden
garments, for wool is bad conductor of
heat. Enveioped in flannel the body main
talns normal temperature, which is of
the greatest Importance
No sooner does the temperature
fall, than the action of the var
1ous functions becomes impaired:
the nerves get ut of gear and the
whole system suffers disorganization. Who
has not, at some time, felt so cold that it
was impossible to sleep! That is an exam
pie of the influence of the blood over the
brain and nervous system. The question
OF warmth cannot be over rated.
But let no one run away with the idea
that the more clothing and the thicker
piled on their beds, the better for health.
Nothing could be more absurd. One does
not want weight, nor too great heat. A
healthy temperature can be attained by
wearing flannel night suit and sleeping
between blankets, which should be as reg
uiariy cleanSed as those made of other ma
terlals. Let sufferers from chronic colds
try this regime, as well as those afflicted
with sluggish circulation and the accompa-
nylng annoyance Of cold feet and other
