fondly at the address as he picked up
one that bore it. Then he opened it, and
drew out the despised land circular. How
did that wretched advertisement get
there2 Suddenly the blood rushed to his
forehead as he saw that the addresses on
both envelopes were precisely similar.
Not for a moment did Philip doubt that
they had both been written by Mable.
But how could such a thing have hap
pened7
The young man had not wasted his
time as a law student. He knew how to
weigh evidence, and in half an hour he
was on his way to New York. He has.
tened to the office of the land syndicate,
which having pressure of business on
hand, was still open, she wing people
how to acquire homes on the prairie. He
had little trouble in ascertaiGing that a
Miss Mable Stone was one OF its army of
workers who addressed envelopes, and a
young woman who was in the Office gave
her address to him.
He found her with long list of names
before her, and box ont timing q thou
sand envelopes on the table. She was
about to adress the first when he entered,
and said quietly, "Let us do it to-
gether, Mabel"
In her amazement she nearly upset the
ink but when he had told his story she
was satisfied, and allowed him to help
her. Splendidly they did it. Before
ten o'clock they had addressed thou
sand envelopes, and earned seventy y-fve
cents between them. Then he left her,
but on the following day they journeyed
to Squalacket together, and Deacon
Stone, though at first inclined tc turn
them both out of the house, was Modified
as soon as he heard of the altered aspect
of affairs, and was easily induced to con-
sent to their marriage. A lawyer was a
useful person to have in a family, any
how, he said, and as he was thinking of
suing the church trustees for applying
five dollars of the funds subscribed for a
new pulpit to the relief of a widow
whose husband had been killed on the
railroad track, it was we'll to be prepared
for emergencies.

Speed of Railroad Trains.

1t is often desirable to relieve tho
tedium of travel by rail by testing the
speed at which the train is running
along, and many persons amuse them
selves by timing this speed by noting,
watch in hand, the time at which the
various mile posts are passed. There is
a rule, however, which gives approx
mately correct results, which any one may
practice without reference to a time
keeper. The rails average about thirty
feet in length; and the number passed
over in twenty seconds equals, roughly,
the number of miles per hour at which
the train is travelling. Unless the train
is running at very high speed say over
sixty miles per hour, there is no diff
ficulty in counting the number of rails
passed over, as there is distinct click
as the joint between each pair Of rails is
covered by the wheel.-New York Tele-

Advertising ExtraordlnarY.

"We have a shoemaker in our town, "
say, 4 Quebec, (Canada) man, "whose
bus sss in selling overshoes had been
almost ruined by hustling rubber house,
and who this winter, to get even, had a
great opening sale, at which he gave to
every purchaser of shoes a pair of rubber
overshoes, upon the soles of which was
his advertisement reversed, so that at
every step the wearers take through the
snow they leave his advertisement neatly
printed in their tracks. The effect is
magical and powerful. You can scarcely
look at the snow any place in Quebec
without seeing footprints with this mans
name glaring boldly from them.

Some Pythagoreau Mysteries.

Every lover of rare and curious in.
formation knows that most of the ancients
were "dead set" against beans, but no
modern unraveller of old-time mysteries
knows why. 1t may be truly said that
there are but few philosophers of the
present day that "know beans" Pythag-
oras admonished his pupils to "abstain
from BEANS" but on what grounds no
one knows. He was also authority for
the old-time superstition that any SEN
tence written in bean juice could be seen
plainly reproduced on the disk of the
moon! Andrew Ling says that the
ancient folklore of beans is most
curious and interesting topic, because it
seems wholly out of the question that
we should ever understand what it was
all about. Demeter was the patroness of
all fruits AMI vegetables, but the ancients
considered it impious to attribute to her
the discovery of the bean. Heraclides,
on the authority o; Orpheus, declared
that beans buried in manure piles forth
with became human beings. st. Louis

To illustrate the strength OF the pref
udiee against corn in Great Britain,
mention may be made of an instance iu
the city of Glasgow, Scotland, where it
was proposed by a Member of the Poor
House Board to substitute maize for
costher food in that institution. The
mere suggestion brought a storm about
his ears, because of his inhumanity in
thrusting upon defenseless paupers food
which was only fit for pigs. American
canned goods of all kinds are largely
sold in Europe, but canned corn is al
most never seen there. If demand
for 1t could be created it would mean
hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly
to the proprietors aud workers of our
canneries. Agents of the Department of
Agriculture have been exhibiting the
cereal in this form also abroad with the
hope of teaching the people to like it.
Wherever corn dishes of various sorts
have been prepared and distributed by
them they have been received so favora-
bly, as to give good grounds for conf
dent expectation in this regard. Tho
use of the potato, the tomato aud the
tobacco plant, all of American origin,
has spread through Europe and added to
the comfort and happiness of millions.
There seems to be more hope for corn
now than there was for any of those
commodities at the beginning

Joseph Wallace, in the Popular Science
News, says that our climate has GER
tainly been much modified within the
past 1000 years. "There have been
fifteen climatic changes since the begin
ming of the glacial age" he writes, "each
change lasting 10, 500 years, and each
change reversing the season in the two
hemispheres, the pole which had enjoyed
continuous summer being doomed to
undergo perpetual winter for 10, 500
years and then passing to its former
state for an equal term" The present
epoch of more genial temperature at
this season of the year in this northern
hemisphere began about 1900 years ago,
and for 5000 years tn come, writes Mr..
Wallace, "we may reasonably expect a
gradual modification of our climate

THE HAPPY HOUSEWIVES soNo.
MONDAY.

MONDAY.
The clothes rub, and rinse out and wiring,
And harbor no care or sorrow;
Assured while they hang in the freshening
breeze;
That duty's well done for the morrow.
TUESDAY.
The garments pure sprinkle and fold,
With never a thought of sorrow,
And merrily sing as the iron 1 swing,
This task is soon done for the morrow.
WEDNESDAY.
As the dough knead in Aaky loaves,
My soul no trouble can borrow:
My hearty darlings they eat and live;
So gladly toll for the morrow.
THURSDAY.
The needle ply with whirling wheel,
And Danish all care and sorrow,
While viewing garments so deftly made
To cover my loved ones tomorrow.
FRIDAY.
As the CRIME and dust l sweep away,
My mind no trouble can borrow,
For deadly disease, which turks therein,
is routed to-day, for tomorrow.
SATURDAY.
The nourishing food l mix and stir,
And ioyously sing, for no sorrow
Enters my life of labor for love-
Sweet rest cometh sure on the morrow.
SUNDAY.
l go TO the Blessed One who knows,
Every form of earthly sorrow;
He giveth me mamma for my soul,
Blest comfort to-day and tomorrow.
Enough for the day is the evil thereof"
This promise surcease of sorrow;
For guidance, and strength, each day pray
And joy cometh on the glad morrow.

Science has been meditating upor

Science has been meditating upon the
subject of the probable increase of the
population in the United States, and it
presents us with these startling con-
clusions: Since 1850 the increase has
been from 1890, 600 TO the neighbor-
hood, in 1890, of $1,000, 900. If this
ratio OF increase is fair basis for pre-
diction we shall have at the time when
the ten, year-old boy of to-day shall be
forty years of age, in 1920, something
like 100, 900, 900 of people in the United
States, and when that man of forty
reaches his seventieth birthday 1880
we shall have close upon 400, ,O00,0 900

Professor Schuller, celebrated Berlin
physician, recently had occasion to split
in half the larynx of a we'll known singer.
After seventeen days the wound was
pronounced healed, and curiously enough
it was found that the singer not only
had not lost his vocal organ, but that be

GOD BLESS HER.

She never burned with PASSIONS fires
She never craved mawkish fame;
Her nerves were never strung on wires,
But sunshine followed where she came
Her ways in school were circumspect
And made her seem trihe prim;
Her maiden manners we're correct,
Her cheerful goodness naught could dim.
Although-she ne'er disdained life's joys,
She ne'er forgot religions claims;
In Sunday school her girls and boys
Were all imbued with life's grand aims.
In church she ne'er seemed sanctiGed,
And only fit for angel sphere;
While others talked of Him who died,
She worked in love for mortals here.
She married poorly, in the sense
That lifes great goal is glittering gold;
But for her pains had reco mpense
In love Of man in Gods own mold.
And further on in life there came
A group of children in her home,
Who honored eer their fathers name,
And from her guidance ne'er would roam
Old age came on, and children brought
Grandchildren TO the sacred place
Where mother, wife and maid had taught
Grand lessons to His grandest race.
Then earth TO earth. and dust to dust"
Was said at last above the bier
Where lay the flower of earthly trust,
Whose symbol rose to heavenly sphere.
God bless the homes such women make!
God bless the world where such are rife!
For hearts would love and never break
II but such shrines were found in life.
