checked herself and the girls looked
at her.
"Why did they do it?" Dorothy
asked at last.
Martha gazed out of the window be-
fore she answered.
"They did it," she said, slowly,
''because they love me. L wrote about
your room, and they hoped to make
this something like it. My little SIS
ter Evelina--" she paused.
The listeners drew nearer and stood
around her in little circle.
''They did the best they knew
how" she continued, ''and 1 like my
room as well rs Dorothy's. The cano-
py is ugly, but when l wake and look
up at it, think how their love covers
me night and day; so you see it's
pleasure.
"The rugs are funnier," Bertha re-
marked finally, in order to break the
silence, and her sisters smiled, but
they did not laugh again, in tho same
way. They began to feel an interest
in Evelina, and this increased through
the happy days which marked their
stay in Lumberton.
Ephraim Dodd's generous heart
warmed as Martha's city company bade
him reluctant good-by on the station
platform. The eldest Rumble girl
shook his hand cordially.
well, Mr.. Dodd, said she, "we've
had about the pleasantest visit we ever
had. And when Martha comes to see
us again, we want Evelina to come,
too"
The old man blushed, and Martha
nearly interrupted his stammering
thanks.
'I'll stay at home and let Evelina
go" she explained. "We sha'n't leave
Aunt Susan and Uncle Ephraim alone.
That evening, Ephraim unburdened
himself to Mrs. Dodd. little remorse-
fully
"We needn't have felt no uneasiness
bout Marthy," he declared. "She's
turned out first rate; she'll stand any
amount of testin', an so will Eveliny,"
Mrs. Dodd laughed tremulously, rs
she extinguished the sitting-room

Sufferers From "Gibbcrish Aphasia."

The Edinburgh Medical Journal
publishes an article which, among
other things, discusses the question of
the effects of brain changes on speech
A patient is mentioned who suffered
from what is called 'gibberish
aphasia." This poor man knew as
well as anybody else exactly what was
going on aronnd him. He was per-
fectly sane in all respects, and, if his
tongue would have obeyed his under
standing, all would have been we'll.
But when he began to speak nothing
whatever but absolute "gibberish"
would come out of his mouth. The
only coherent words he could utter,
and those only at times and by acci-
dent We're eff you please, sir. "
Another patient, who also was sane,
could not even read aloud correctly
from book when the page was open
before him. When asked, for example,
to read aloud the passage, ''It shall be
in the power of the college to examine
or not to examine any licentiate," he
invariably read it thus: 'An the be
what in the tomothar of the throtho-
todoo to majorum. The patient re-
covered in due time and spoke like
other people.

The theory that times of depression
in business are peculiarly favorable to
religious development, has some justi-
tication in experience, concludes the
San Francisco Argonaut. But, on
the other hand, there are more suicides
In hard times than at any other. Sta
tistics show that there has been a
noticeable increase in suicides in New
York City during the last month, the
aggregate being thirty against
twenty-five for the same period during
the previous year. The statistics are
suggestive, but hardly conclusive.
The suicidal tendency is certainly
growing; but it derives its stimulus
rather from what may be called fixed
conditions of our life than from tenn
porary ana exceptional indictments.

Der hickory. walnut and the oak

And as they ope their sleepy eyes
His breath comes thick from chilly skies.
Fhe morning sun, In mild reproof,
Sweeps from the fences and the root
The crystal footsteps of that raid;
He smiles upon each leaf and blade,
Aud welcomes TO his genial rays
The friendship of mystic haze,
While voices through the hill and dell
Echo clear as silver bell.
Glad, golden days o, mystic haze
And all the swelling symphonies

The scolding ofa saucy jay.

The mill is now buying sunfowers and

Electricity is gradually taking the
place of oil for locomotive headlights,
notes the st. Louis Republic. One
st. Louis road-the Vandalia--has
fourteen locomotives equipped with
the new light and is adding to the
number every week. The recent rear
end collision of the Illinois Central
road would probably not have occurred
had the engine of the second section
been provided with an electric light.

The New York World observes: We
are apt to imagine that America is the
land of progress and Asia the land of
regress. This is doubtless true, as
rule, but every now and then we are
startled to find that the Mongolians
have ideas also and sometimes act
upon them. This statement is borne
out by recent report made to the
Japanese Government on the state of
agriculture in that country, and advo-
eating, among other things, the es-
tablishment of agricultural insurance.
Mutual insurance that is, "a fellow
ship, the single members of which are
all insured by that same fellowship
is also advocated The report shows
that the Japanese are wide awake.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

The distance from the farthest point
of polar discovery to the pole itself is
460 miles.
Powerful air brakes are now being
constructed for use ON freight trains
of $50 cars.
The long distance telephone has been
put in operation between Norway and

When you speak of bees, designate
the kind referred to. There are 1900
species popularly known as "wild
bees" 5000 being natives of the Amer
icas. Britain has seventy species of
bees and sixteen of wasps of the
latter there are ITO species known to
entomologists.
The value of vaccination against
smallpox is shown by recent statistics
from London hospitals, showing that
whereas in the unvaccinated 23. 8 per
cent. died, and the remaining cases
last 472 days, there were in the vac
cinated cases no deaths at all, and %. 5
days was the average duration of the
disease.
1t may be doubted, says an English
writer, whether our measurement of ami
malcourage has yet been sufficiently
extended, for there appear instances in
which the acts of daring are prompted
by sense of obedience, of discipline,
and even of duty-something similar
in kind to that which marks and dis
tinguishes the highest forms of cour
age in man.
An operation for appendicitis re-
vealed the fact that the disorder was
due to the presence of tooth brush
bristles. "Cheap tooth brushes, re-
marked the surgeon who haf charge of
the case, ''are responsible for many
obscure throat, stomach and intestinal
ailments. The bristles are only glued
on and come off by the half dozen
when wet and brought in contact with
the teeth.
A fire balloon is recent invention
for signaling by night. The balloon
is made of paper, is portable and is
inflated by burning spirits or even
straw or wood. When ready to ascend
a message string is appended. This is
made of combustible beads strung Mt
intervals on piece of quick match.
Different combinations of large and
small beads are used to express the
signals.
Among other interesting matters
with which the psychological labora-
tory is experimenting is the subject of
measurements of different men
tai processes. The conclusions reached
on the average time it requires us to
make some of the commonest judg-
ments were: Recognition of ray of
light, oil seconds; recognition Of orr
dinary sounds, .015 seconds; to local
ize mentally when blindfolded any
place on our body touched by another
person, .02l seconds ; mental judgment
of distance when seen, .022 sec
onds; recognition of the direction of
loud sounds, .062 seconds; recogni-
tion of short English words, PA sec
onds; recognition of pictures of OBJ
jects, 1853 seconds; to answer such
questions as "Who wrote Hamlet, "
900 and over.
