mother did not need me SO often!'
"Oh. Minnie dear, COME" cried her
mother, afraid to alarm, her too much by
calling what was wrong.
So at last Minnie walked away to the
nursery, and what sight met her eyes!
Mother had been hushing baby in her
arms, when Fred, who was two years old,
had gone too near the fire, and his pima
fore had caught the fame.
Mother had tossed baby into the cradle
in an instant. and rolled the nursery rug
round little Fred She held him close, as
the flames were extinguished, and he was
in an agony of fear and pain.
Minnie will never forget the look On Ter
mothers face as she said, ''You are too
late TO be of much use now, Minnie, but
perhaps you could comfort baby little. -
Poor Fred's wee hands and neck were
badly burned, but with mothers tender

It's done by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t starts the
torpid liver into healthful action,
purifes and enriches the blood,
cleanses, repairs, and strengthens
the system, and restores health and
vigor. AS an appetizing, restora-
tive tonic, it sets at work all the
processes of digestion and nutri-
ton, and builds up flesh and
strength. It's the only Blood and
Liver Remedy that's guaranteed, in
every case, to benefit or cure. If it
doesn't do all that's claimed for it,
the money is promptly refunded.
But it keeps its promises - that's
the reason it can be sold in this
way.

in anger. Tonight shall sleep at my
sisters house, and tomorrow you will hear
from my solicitor.
Then she left the house, taking with
her the key of the tea caddy, and Softly
was SO utterly crushed that he had not the
pluck to make face after her.
1t was a mere wreck of the curate that
SUNK into the bank next day and asked
to see the manager When he obtained
speech of that gentleman he could hardly
artlculate his words, and the pleasant
greeting that he received seemed to him
the most heartless mockery.
Goa. Mr.. Wilson," he said in tremb-
ling tones, what am to do? Are you
sure that there hasn't been mistaken"
"a mistake, said the manager briskly.
Il hope not. What is it, Mr.. Softly?''
Without speaking the curate handed
him his own letter with look that would
have melted an iceberg. The manager
glanced at it and rang bell.
''Mr. Smith," he said to the clerk vino
came in. Mr.. Softly thinks there mas
been a mistake about. this. Will You
please see to it at once?"
The clerk disappeared and returned in
a few minutes.
Its quite right, sir" he said to
Softly; ''the last check drawn was for
81 900, and
''A thousand pounds" cried the curate.
Why, hadn't 200 to my account! Why
didn't you stop payment? Why didn't
you send for a policeman? Why didn t
you detain her?'
The manager and the clerk looked at
each vther The clerk raised his eyebrows,
and then his eyes fell on the letter, and he
smiled to himself.
I'm afraid there has been slight mis-
take, sir" he said. The account that IS
overdrawn is that in the names Of Softly
and Lefort-the trust account. 1t was
piece of carelessness on the part of the
clerk who sent this notice.
How Softly left the bank he never
knew; but by the time he got into the
street he had quite realized what an ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable possession is a
guilty conscience Vanity Fair.

Shall for his month stone garnet claim;
And he no In February first saw the light
Shall wear on his finger an amethyst bright;
And he who was born in March must take

And he who in June came to this earth
Shall an agate wear for the month of his BIRTH

Must wear the stone sardonyX by name:

And the opal, of misfortune and hope the stone

And the beautiful topaz shall be worn

THE MOON.
A Picture of the Moons Surface Taken by
Means of a TeIescope

Means of Telescope
Prof. Holden of the Lick Obseryatorr,
by means of its great telescope, has taken
a picture of the moon, which is said to be
a triumph of astronomical photography.
Frof. Weinck of the Observatory Of Prague,
who has probably studied the surface of
the moon more ,han any other man living,
helped Prof. Holden in the delicate work
Of making the negative. A feature of the
picture Is the bed IF a sea, of which Mr..
Holden says: The large sea at the left
hand of the cut is the Mare Crisium Its
dimensions are about two hundred and
elghty-one by three hundred aud fifty FIVE
miles. Its area is about that of Ohio and
Indiana combined. It is, in fact, not a
sea, but the floor OF a great piain-which
may once have been a sea, but which is
now-like one of the small plains on the
island of Haw vail, only on a grander scale.
10 give an Idea OF the vertical scale ii NAV
be noted that the highest mountains sur
rounding the sea are about eleven thousand
feet. TIE professors of the LEX Obser-
vatory are taking a series of pictures of
tie moon from which an immense map is
Ultimately to be made.--SeIected.
