never quite forgotten FOR one short half
hour her deserted child and husband. Uncle
Aaron's beseeching words have come back
to her ears again and again, and she feels
a strange, regretful pity whenever she
thinks of him.
Fifteen years have passed away since she
has seen him, and on this particular day as
she is walking through the town of Rom
dout he is in her mind. She is with her
theatrical company, and whether it is owing
to the fact that she is so near to the mount
aims or not, she has been thinking of Uncle
Aaron all the morning. Suddenly a hand

huskily: "Beant this Roseln

The Bond Between the Earth and Sun

1t would almost seem as if our globe
were always trying to escape from the
thraldom of the sun, who, knowing how
fatal to us such an escape would be, inces-
sanity interferes to prevent it. If only the
sun were to withhold that attractive power
by which the earth is maintained in the
course at present followed, dire calamity
must result. This globe of ours is now
hurrying along at a pace of eighteen miles
a second, and if the suns attraction no
longer restrained us we should not con-
tinue to revolve in a circle. but would at
once start off in a straight line through
space. Every minute would take us more
than thousand miles, and by the time a
hundred days had elapsed we should be
twice as far from the sun as we are at
present. His light and his heat would be
reduced to one-fourth part of what we now
enjoy. With every successive minute the
SUMS influence would still further abate,
and it IS almost needless to add that all
known forms of life must vanish from the
globe. 1t is, therefore. satisfactory to know
that we possess every security that the
suns attraction will never decline from
what it is at the present moment, and
therefore there is no ground for any appre-
hension that life shall be chased from this
globe by dissolution of the bond of attrac-
ton between the earth and sun.-Good

What Becomes of Old Hats.

hats? If the body of the hat is very old 1t
is sold to the old hat man, who strips 1t OF

lining if it is not too much worn. He usu-
ally sells these strippings for twenty-five
cents. But if the hat is only partially
worn il is kept here until the accumular

old hat man has a harvest But those
