crowd about the body. They took II
up reverently, as though thev were
bearing the dead; perhaps they were.
They might be, for all they could tell
then.
Inc man was taken to some placo
where shelter and care could be afford

great gsshes on his face and bruises on
his body, and the waves had nearly
chilled out of him the little life that
other injuries had left him. But bv

around.
lie saw the woman standing near to
whose feet the waters had brought
him, and a great light came into his
face, and he whispered very family.
but still loud enough for her to hear
MN, "Agnes, darling, 1 have come
oack to you. L knew you would be
true. Come and kiss me, darling"
A cry of pain found its way to the
woman's white lips. In that voice. so
weak and low, and by the worSs, she
recognized the man before her. John
Derwent had come back to her, and he
thought her truel And for a year
she had been the wife of another man.
"Don't you know me, Agnes?v he
whispered. "Pm dying, L think.
Won't you kiss me?"
She sank down beside him and
kissed his face, her tears falling on it
ike rain. Her husband came towards
her, wonderingly; but she motioned
him back, and he obeyed silently.

be true"
lie said these last words in dreamy
way, and they knew he was drifting
out to sea again-out to sea, past all
wreck and storm; and on this voyage
there would be no coming back.
Every word was like knife-thrust
in the heart of the woman who had
been SO faithless, and whom he thought
SO true.
"Pm sorry, dear" he said, a mo.

The bitter thrust again! She shiv-

"Kiss mel" he whispered.

the great Eternal-sallied out to find
the Happy Islands and the lands of

the woman he loved was true.
1t was better thus.
But, L wonder if, in the Hereafter,

CHORES.

Jed Dorcum always used to say
Mhen we asked him 10 come and play
With us boys down to Harry More's.
We sotrer stay ANA do the chores"
No recreation would he take
For all his W, a tn in Jelly cake;
No clad fun in or out Of doors
lie had 20 stay and do the chores.
We drove a woOdchnck in the wall,
But Jed he paid no heed at all;
circus passed through Lower Town,
But busy Jed. he couldn't 20 down.
The elephant went tramping by
And shook the earth and touched the sky,
The tiger howls. the lion roars,
JED SlaA at home and does the chores.
Much Ike Jed Dorcum are We all
Who long for geat things and do small;
We mol among the trivial sods
Within the gardens OF the gods,
While the dark clusters hang above
Rich with the Juice OF life and love.
We cannot reach aud pluck them down,
These iair pomegranates OF renOwn,
Whose juice life's early hope restores,
For we must work and do the chores.
Above us sternly loom forever
The mighty Mountains OF 4 ideavor,
Ana who So on their summit stands
Look ON sun-kissed table-lands.
We grasp our mOuntain-stlf to climb
Their Sky-enshrOuded peaks sublime
Up where the crystal torrent pours-
And then We pause to do our chores.
We start with courage In the heart
To try the endlesSness Of art,
In hope that we may speak some day
The word The Spirit bids us say.
Eut ere We speak the word Alright
The shadows come and it Is night.
Put out the light and close the doors,
For good or i'll we've done our chores.

Mr.. McSwat's Economy,


"I could never see," briskly observed
Mr.. McSwat, as he leaned a new pane
of glass 2Sx36 carefully against the
wall, laid the sash containing IN,
brok"n pane on the dining-room table
removed his coat, and otherwis,
cleared the decks for action, "why an,
man should pay glazier 80 bill fo,
job of this kind when he can do i
himself at a cost of less than half tina
figure. Hand me that case-knife, Lo
bella"
Mrs. McSwat complied with his re-
quest and he began to dig out the hard
putty and bits of broken glass still re
manning in the sash.
"These glaziers," he continued
''ain't satisfied with moderate profit
They want to hog the whole thing
This pane of glass cost me 75 cents,
and these threc-cornered tin jigger.
in. A glazier could have bought the
,ottfit for so cents, and then he'd have
made $3.50 for about twenty minutes
work. Catch me paying any such
price! Lobelia, take this putty ant

Mr.. McSwat's case-knife had slipped
and his hand had coliided violently
with piece of broken glass. "Billi.
ger, you have cut yourself!" exclaim.
ed his wife.
'Its nothing, Lobelia," he said. "A
man may expect a little scratch or two
when he's at work of this kind. Thi,
dinged putty comes out awful hari,
Gol-lee for gosh all snakesl There's
another cash. Get me a rag, quick
Don't stand there with your fingers in
your mouth. Do you want me t.
bleed to death right here?"
"Don't work at it any more, Bill
GER" pleaded Mrs. McSwat. you'll
cut your hands all to pieces"
who's doing this job?" roared Bill
Tiger, as he wrapped his thumb in the
handkerchief his wife had given him.
"Stand out of my wayl"
For the next half-honr he pranced
about the table, digging out hardened
putty, prying out splinters of glass,
and varying the monotony of the ex-
ercise by occasional remarks of par
oxysmal and incendiary nature.
At last, however, he laid the sash
ready for the reception of the glass.
''Lobelia," he called out, ''is the
putty rcady?"
"Of course it is," she replied. "1
worked it till it was nice and soft and
put 1t on the table where you could get
it when you-oh Billinger! You've

"It'll wash out, Lobelia," said Mr..
McSwat reassuringly, and he gathered
up the putty and rolled it into a lump
again. "Now I'll put the glass in.
Anybody that can't put in a pane of
common window-glass," he went on as
he lifted the sash, "no matter how big
it is, ought to be-

Mr.. McSwat tumbled the remains of
his 28x36 pane of glass on the floor,
jumped up and down on them, and
howled, while Mrs. McSwat retired to
an upper room, locked the door,
crawled under the bed and wept.

pitfalls. The hospital service of the
Turks is abominable, but, thanks to
their Baths, there are few, save the
wounded, who are obliged to endure it.
For the introduction of the Hot-Air
Bath of the Greeks, Romans and Turks
into modern Western Europe, W. are
indebted to David Urquhart, an enthu-
siastic Englishman, to whose energy
and coul g the world owes a deeper
debt thnn 1t is conscious Of More than
forty years ago Mr.. Urquhart's atteu-
hon was called to the Turkish Bath as
n curative agent, when suffering from
sun-stroke and not within reach of
medical aid. Reasoning that his trou-
bic was caused by a congestion which
could be relieved if the pores of the
skin were fully opened, and having
previously observed the action of the
Bath in this regard, he submitted him
self to the somewhat harsh and crude,
but effective treatment of the Hot-Air
Bath, as it thus existed in CONSTANT
nople. AS a consequence the pores
were relaxed, perspiration came to his
relief, and the cure was complete.
Eight years later Dr. Barter was
given by Mr.. Urquhart copy of his
travels in which this experience was re-
lated. On reading it a conviction of
the supreme importance of this Bath.
both as preventive and a cure OF
disease, flashed upon the mind of DR..
Barter. He Immediately wrote to Mr..
Urquhart, offering men, money and
materials if he would superintend the
building of Turkish Bath. Mr.. Urqu-
hart accepted the position, and in
1856, the foundation of the first Hot
air Bath in modern Europe, outside of
Turkev, was laid at St Anne's Hill,
Cork, Ireland.
This Bath differed from its success
sors almost as the steam engines, which
to-day thunder from the Atlantic to the
Pacific oceans across our vast continent,
differ from the model of Stevenson's
first engine, now kept in the Washin G.
ton Patent Office. The principle was
there, but it required much study, and
many experiments, to bring either to
its present degree perfection. The
first step toward improvement was ap-
parently backward. DIR. Barter looked
behind the modern Turkish Bath to the
Turks model-the grand Baths of
Rome, studying their remains and
their history, and applying their prin-
ciples in the modest way which alone
was in his power, he constructed a
Bath which has been the model of sue
ceeding ones in every part OF Europe
and America, including even Constan-
t'nople itself; for the Turks-usually
so slow in innovations-were quick to
see the improvements in their favor
ite institution.
Twenty seven years ago the Hot-air
Bath (still called Turkish) was intro
duced in America by DR.. Charles H.
Shepard, of Brooklyn, n. Y, who
went to ireland on purpose to study
the operations of the DIR. Barter's
Baths; and thence to Constantinople, to
see those of the Turks.

Great Is the Power OF Impudence.

The half of the effectiveness of i'm,
pudence is not realized by the great
majority of mankind, which is fortun-
ate in so far that if they comprehend it
it would be impossible for society to
continue to exist upon its present
foundations. He who has impudence
is better lowered for making his way
in the world than he who has beauty,
strength, wit, intelligence or wisdom,
all of which are yet esteemed good
things in their way. He is even better
provided than the man who inherits
wealth, since by virtue Of this mighty
quality he has command of the purses
of others, is above miliionaires, for of
them he makes his playthings: beauty
bows to him, virtue is under his feet;
while as to learning ard mere ability
they are as chaff upon the wind before
good wholesale impudence.

HOW TO sTRAIGHTEN WIRE.

Herewith is given a simple method
of Strengthening any kind of wire,
either hard or soft, which may be use
full to the housekeeper: In the illustrs-
ton A is a strong piece of wood, III
which strong wire nails are driven IN
zig-zag shape, as shown. staple 90
is driven in ahout the centre OF the
wood, for the wire TO pass through be-
fore going through the nails. The wire
is then threaded through the whole,
and piece of round wood Is fastened
to the wire 10 pull it through Dl- Ii
the wire curls either way, this can soon
be remedied by knocking the nails
sideways alternately. A little prac-
tice will soon show how the curl can b
