Touching story Of tho Child OF tho Au-
thor Of "John Halifax, GentiemanJ'
Every woman in the land has bowed
down before "John halifax, Gentle
man. " but how many know much Of the
life Of Che woman whose brain child he
was? There is in it a little romance that

ried to n gentleman who was cripple,
Mrs Muloch Craik lived an idyllic life
at beautiful country home "A few miles
from a county town. She heard one day,
quite incidentally, that baby had been
found on a stone AZ the cross roads, that
it had been taken TO the town hall, and
that all the gentry about We're going to
look at it because it was such sweet
little child So, following the example
of her neighbors, she went too. Looking
up into the sweet, sympathetic face Of
the famed aathoress, the little baby
smiled and put out its wee hands
Dinah Muloch Craik could not resist
this, and so she determined to take the
child for her very own. Quickly Il was
wrapped mp and it became her baby.
| Devoted to it, she was yet determined as
it grew older it should never have its
heart hurt by being told the story Of its
birth and adoption; so as soon as the lit
tie girl was able to understand, it was
| lovingly whispered to her that she had
been found on the large stone which
stood in the center Of the hall, and
which always was decorated with flow
ers, and that God had put her there that
her mother might find her. AS soon as
she grew old enough it became her
daily duty to cut the flowers and ar
range them to make beautiful this great
rock that had been dug up from the
cross roads and brought there.
To her it represented the place where
the hands of the angels had rested when
they laid her down. Curiously enough
the child became very proud of the way
in which she had reached the dear
mother who cared for her as lovingly and
as tenderly as if she were really her owl
flesh and blood Her birthday was the
day on which she was found, and when
the tenth one came around and child't
party was given her she,was heard ask

was pathetic.

Staten Island to be sovereign remedy

pilot of his acquaintance TO bring him in

An Irish priest at Ammergau told the
following story of his bishop: His lord
ship and chaplain came to see the
Passion play. They would fain have
had a room each, but this was not posi-
BILE. They lSpelt down separately to say
their prayers by their little cots, and
presently it crossed the mind Of the
chaplain that it would not be well to
make his orfsons shorter than the bish-
ops, and he glanced over his shoulder TO
see if his lordship was about to make an
end.
The bishop, presumably anxious not
to scandalize his chaplain by the short
ness of his prayers, also glanced over his
shoulder and waited. The process was
repeated several times Both suppli-
cants were very red, and in time both
fell asleep. They were found in the
morning OH their knees still and sleep

Paradoxical as it may seem cathartics
are remedies for diarrhoea as well as con-
stipation. That is, in the earliest stage
OF diarrh@a the first thing needed is to
wash out the intestinal canal. Castor oil
has peculiarities which recommend it
for this purpose. IN most cases if the in
testines are properly freed and the diet
is restricted for a few days to bland
foods the diarrhoea viii subsde without
