The time was when young man, after
keeping "steadv company" with young
lady ior period OF, say, about four or five
years, might, under very encouraging cir
cumstances, attempt TO kiss her fiuger tips.
Being emboldened BY succeeding in that
rash undertaking, he would follow 1t up in
the course of few years more By kissing
her forehead, and in case OF unusual loGger-
ity there eventually came time when he
kissed her lips. and in some instances mar
riages follow ed in due season. But lite,

All Nature Longs for Home.

The approach Of winter turns the wan
derer's thoughts toward home. During the
summer months We would all be nomads.
We love to wander iato strange lands and
lose ourselves amid unfamiliar things We
have dislike for walls and Enclosures. and
we fall to dreaming whether or not the e.
straints of civilization are any improve
ment over'the freedom Of the savage. But
when the trosts OF autumn rob the fields and
forests OF their inviting aspects We lind our
selves turning away from nature TO the
fabrications man has fashioned to increase
his happiness-the warm, snug home; the
comforting furnace, the glowing base burner,
or the fire on the hearth; the bright lights,
the cheerful dining room, and the dinner,
hot from the range; they are all pleasant to
contemplate. Then we conclude that nile
we like nature we prefer it not in its wholly
natural stale. The coming of winter is to
the year what the coming of old age is to a
life We are tired ct straving, and We de-
sire place where we can rest in content
and feel secure from the storms

A merchant in busy city had accumu-
lated a snug fortune, but he did not like the
jar and jostle about him. He grew tired of
the sights and sounds. 81 have money
enough" said he. 81 do not enjoy life
here. am getting along in years and 1

And he went to quiet country place, where
for time he enjoyed the change But after
wears the spirit OF unrest crept into his
heart, and he tired OF the monotony. 81 have
money enough to live where like" said
he. 81 am di, satisfied here. 1 am getting
on in wears and must find a place where

golden land of California, where for years
he dwelt amoug the vineyards and the
orange groves and listened TO the murmur
OF the see, the very voice of which
seemed to breathe spirit of
discomfort into his hearkening
ear. All was beautiful, but he felt grow
ing desire to be among the friends of his
youth. And he said: 81 can live there as
well as here, where 1 feel L am dissatisfied.
l am getting on in years and L must find
place where 1 will be coutented" So he
went to the home OF his youth, but it was
'home" no more. The old friends were not
there. And he, an old man, bent with age,
sadly turned away and sought to find in
strange lands place of rest. ~ am grow
ing very old, he said, "and / long to find
a land where I can be contented." And he
went about looking for that land till there
came the fateful day when he laid his head
upon a strangers pillow and slept the long
sleep. And strangers voices, as his clay
went back to earth that gave it, sang his
funeral dirge.

Bottles in tine Sea.
The prince of Monaco had upward of

copper covering. thrown into the sea at
different points of the ocean between
Europe and America, and of these 226
have been returned to him by the gov
ernments of the various countries to the
shores of which they had drifted, and
their progress has been noted with suf-
ficient accuracy to lead to the convic-
ton that the movement of the upper
part of the water is circular. the center
being to the west of che Azores The
tide of the Atlantic thus descends the
coast of Africa. and. running in a wes-
terly direction, flows on toward Ber-
muda, and then turns eastward.
The speed at which the bottles trav>
eled is estimated at an average of four
miles in twenty-four hours, though at
some points they attained rate of six
miles. 1t was in the western half of the
circle thus described that the rapidity
was greatest. One bottle had drifted
about for upward of five years.-Pall

To be cautious in the choice OF medi-
cines. Many are injured by trying ex-
periments with compounds purporting
to be blood purifiers, the principal
recommendation of which would seem
to be their "cheapness." Being made
up of worthless, though not always
harmless, ingredients, they may well
be "cheap;" but, in the end, they are
dear. The most reliable medicines are
costly, and can be retailed at mod
crate prices, only when the manufacture
ing chemist handles the raw materials
in large quantities. 1t is economy,
