sho wore a pink wrapper. In her lap
lay an embroidered tidy, at which she
took languid stitches. II may be re-
corded here that Meg gave up Tides
from that day.
She did not stop to examine the
lady, however, but snatched up one
of the two babies who crawled about
the floor and hugged and kissed Julia
more lovingly than she had ever done
before.
Jimmie, behind the door, was star
tied. lie wondered if he should feel
the same affection for Lauretta if she
were lost for three hours.
The three women all talked togeth-
or. The lady in the rocking chair lis
tened complacently, convinced that
she had done all that could be expect
cd when she allowed the strange baby
TO creep on her carpet till called for.
al told Jimmie. she laughed, "be'd
have two babies to take care of, in
stead of one"
Jimmie had disappeared into the
hall.
'I think I'll take the baby home TO
mamma; she's frctting about her."
said Meg, holding the baby tight.
"We're very much obliged to you for
keeping her here"
Mrs. Smith bowed politely. She
indicated with her forefuger where
Meg would find the baby's clothes and
wraps.
Meg dressed her and carried her
carefully down stairs, followed by a
cheerful "g 2od morning!' from Mrs.
Smith With light heart she tucked
Julia once more into her carriage.
Jimmie stood watching her from the
door.
"Say" he called, care you really
glad to get that kid back?
Meg laughed out of her gladness.
"Why, of course!"
'Did you feel awful bad when you
found she was gonew
"Of course" said Meg again.
"What made you do such a stupid
thing as to wheel home the wrong
baby?"
"Oh,' he said, grinning, l didn't
bring her homel' He lowered his
voice. "I was playing with Bob
Price, and sent another fellow, and
lie didn't know her,yo see!"
"Good gracious!" exclaimed Meg,
looking at Jimmie with horror.
But Jimmie was bursting with his
wrongs.
"Perhaps you think you had the
hardest time of il, but if You had to
amuse an extra baby three hours,
you'd know finding baby was worse
than losing one"
Meg was so impressed with his air
of conviction that she said not word.

The Forestry Building at the Worlds
Fair,

Chief Buchanan has sent out letters
to all of tie state boards of agricul-
ture advising them as to the design of
the proposed forestry building at the
Worlds Fair. The building will be
about 200 by 500 feet, and will occu
py commanding position on the lake
shore. 1t will be designed to illustrate
in its construction and arrangement
the forestry wealth of the world. The
architecture is of a rustic character
and will make beautiful effect. A
feature will be the wide colonnade
along the front of the building and
across either end. The supporting
columns of this colonnade will be
trunks of trees with the bark on, rep
resenting the characteristic woods of
the United States. This will not only
add TO the unique beauty of the struc-
ture, but will furnish the states an
opportunity to show specimens of
their trees. These tree trunks will be
twenty-five feet long, about twenty
iuches in diameter at the base, taper
ing gradually TO the top. Each trunk
win have attached to it a tablet on
which viii be engraved the name of
the state furnishing it, the name of
the tree, and the estimate of the
quantity of such timber in the state or
territory. Chief Buchanan asks each
state board of agriculture to send on
three of such tree trunks.

How to Test Death.

The difficulty of distinguishing cer-
tain forms of comatose sleep from ac-
tual death has suggested all sorts of
ingenious tests, such as holding a
bright looking-glass in front of the
nostrils, or forcing a spray of water
against the closed eyclids. A still
more decisive experiment, however,
consists in injecting the pale skin of
the upper arm with strong solution
of ammonia. If spark of life ingers
it will betray itself by the appearance
of u red spot.-[New York Telegram.

Docs Wood Absorb Disease CORN 2

A celebrated physician has remarked
that every house ought to be pulled
DOWN, The end Of its sixtieth year,
as ]. . that time absorbed all Of
the diseases of those that have lived in
it. This idea is based on the theory
that wood and plaster absorb gases,
foul air. and feverish cxhalation as
readily as milk or water does. But,
as it is not practicable to tear down
houses every half-century or so, some
eminent authorities claim that all
wood used in the interior construction
of houses, and all of the surface Of
plaster, should be thoroughly oiled or
vanished, SO that the power of alb
sorption would be almost entirely de-
stroyed. In the latter event the de-
struction of houses on sanitary
grounds would no longer be desirable.

LOST. A BABY.

One morning Mrs. Sackctt put
Julia carefully into her carriage. She
tucked her up with rugs, ginghams
and shawls. Meg often wondered
how the baby could breathe; but
Julia was fat and hearty, and Meg
knew that she grew heavicr,so it must
have agreed with her,
"Kccp where its pleasant and sun
ny, and take good care Of her. said
Mrs Sacket.
She said this every day. Meg took
as much care of Julia as any we'll
meaning but careless girl of fourteen
docs baby. At the crossing she
thumped the carriage down into one
gutter and banged it up out of the
other. The baby was used to this,
and only opened her eyes wide and
gasped on arriving at the opposite
side.
Meg was just turning the corner
when she heard her mothers voice.
"M-e-g"
Eyes m!
"Stop at IIurd's and send hcmc
three pounds of brown sugar and a half
pound of tea!'
"Ycs'ml'
Meg thrust her elbows through the
handle of the baby carriage aud cro-
chctod as she walked. Crocheting
tides was Meg's favorite pastime.
She always had tidy under way.
IIurd's was a corner grocery. with Il
door opening on each of the two
streets. Meg wheeled the carriage
close to the show window and fastened
tie wheel with, stone so that it
couldn't roll of.
Julia sat still, gazed with attention
at the iesplendcnt advertisements of
jerks soap and Tompkins' ginger,
although she must have known these
placards by heart. Babies have to en-
durc so much which they do not un-
dcrstand that it i not surprising that

llurd's was CROWDED, rs It always
was in the morning, but Meg did not
object TO waiting. She chatted with
Kate Allen and Lon French, and even
drew out her tidy aud did two rows
before the salesman had time to attend
to her.
Then SHE ordered sugar and tea
with as grand an air as that worn by
Mrs. Ponsonby, who "rcsided' in a
four-story brown-stone house on a
stylish avenue, while Meg lived in a
third fat"
"Wait for mel" said Kate Allen.
"Tye got 10 90 TO the butchers"
"All right" answered Meg.
She waited, and when Kate started
she walked with her, talking briskly,

she suddenly cried, son, | forgot the

The girls ran laughingly back and
turned the corner. There was no baby
nor carriage there.
They stared at each other, and Katie
would have laughed but that Meg
looked so solemn.
