At Selma, Ala, there is an artesian

A petrifed whale, 216 feet long, has

The worlds rainfall record has been

Brilliancy of color is obtained by
placing complementary colors together
and combination of uncomplemen-
tary colors subdues them. Thus, when
green and red are placed side by side
each becomes brighter, but if yellow
be placed beside green it throws blue
! shade on the green and the green
throws q red shade on the yellow, both
thus losing some of their brightness.

Harry Milbrook had sat down his
chocolate cup, and was staring with
CLASSY eyes at Mr.. Kenward.
''Why, what's the matter" de-
manded that gentleman, somewhat
shortly.
''N-nothing ~
Dyspepsia, eh?"
''No. tell you I'm well enough. \"
Harry had made mistake-a mistake
that was likely to be fatal to his brill
liant matrimonial aspirations.
"Why didn't wait? What the mis-
chief was / in such a hurry for" he
demanded of himself, without any very
satisfactory answer, as he hurried along
the street toward Barbara's residence.
The boy might not have delivered
the note-Barbara might not have read
it-there were a thousand "might
nots, and he resolved to try his luck,
even in forlorn hope.
'1s Miss Esmond at homer" he asked
of the old housekeeper, who came to
the door
"Miss Esmond wished me to say
specially that she was never at home
to Mr.. Milrbook any more" was the
cold reply.
And Harry went his way lamenting.
He had chosen his lot, and he must
abide by it. And thus Barbara escaped
the snares laid for her.-New York

One very novel feature of the new
suffrage law which was recently wrested
from the Belgian Parliament by the up
rising of the working class is the be-
stowal of a double vote upon every
man who is married, or who has at
tanned the age of thirty-fve. The
theory of this is that in the former case
he represents, not merely his own share
in the public veal, but that of his fam
lily. In the latter he is supposed to
have at least a double share of iudg-
ment.

"wHERE HELEN srls..s


Where Helen sits the darkness is 80 deep,
No golden sunbeam strikes Rthwart the
glooml
No mothers smile, no glance OF loving eyes,
Liehtens the shadow OF that lonely room.
Yet the clear whiteness OF her radiant soul
Decks the dim walls, like angel vestments
shed.
The lovely light OF holy innocence
Shines like halo round her bended head,
Where Helen sits.
Where Helen slts, the stiffness is so deep,
No children's laughter comes, no song of
bird.
The great world storms along its noisy way,
But in this place no sound is ever heard.
Yet do her gentle thoughts make melody
sweeter than aught from harp or vlol flung
And Love and Beauty, quirlng each to each,
Sing as the stars OF Eden's morning sung,
Where Helen sits.

ALWAYS SWEEP UNDER THE MAT.

/
A story is told OF poor servant girl,
Who once was moody and strange,
Who asked for admission to tho fold Of tho
church,
As she had experienced n change.
When asked by the pastor a reason to give
Fora step so important as that,
She answered-"Before, sir shghted my
work,
But now / sweep under the mat"
There's a world of good sense
In this simple reply,
And well worth study and thought
To those who are travelling the way that is
broad,
Not doing the things which they ought.
Be true to yourselfi do the best that you
can,
In business, at law, or the bat.
Whatever youdo, be faithful and true,
And always ''sweep under the mat.

curve to her lip, which were wondrous-

she ground it down into the deep pur-

FOR EPILEpTTcs.
A Cure For Them said to Have Been
Worked Out

A Cure For Them said to Have Been
Worked Out.
New York, December 26.--Just one year
ago l)r. Paul Gihier, director of the Pas
teur institute IN this city, and president
OF the New York archaeological society,
read II scientific paper before the New
York County &d!cal society - the Acad-
envy Of Medicine on "A New Agent in the
Cure of Epilepsy" In this paper the
doctor presented the result OF his eNperl-
mental treatment upon a large number OF
epieptics some OF whom had been intrust-
ed to his professional care by leading ply
siCians OF New York and other cities
DR.. Gibier, after explaining the formula
Of the TRANSMISSION treatment, gave the re-
suits that had been Reached in the treat
ment Of patients at Bellevue hospital and
also at the Pasteur institute. In some
of the cases pronounced benefit had been
observed and the doctor expressed the be
lief that the new agency would prove val
liable IN therapeutics. 1t was disclosed
that the material used had been prepared
from the vital organs of sheep great care
having been exercised in securing absolute
purity in the matter employed. Fresh
preparations were necessary each day.
some OF the patients had been subjected TO
this treatment twice a day, the injections
having been made hypodermlcally, the
punctura being in the side, just above the
hip joint The aim is to supply the nervous
force with naturally prepared food from a
clean, healthy animal. which will at once
assimlate with the blood and nourish, but
not stimulate the nervous system. In no
case were any bad effects noticeable as a
result of the injections, thus indicating the
purity OF the organic matter employed in
the TRANSMISSION process.
Practically the treatment Is an applica-
ton of the Brown-Sequard method of in
ocuation, except that no claim Is set forth
that aged persons can be rejuYenated so as
to be inspired with the physical character
istics of youth. DR.. Gibier also explained
at the time he read his first paper that
he intended continuing the treatment of
other cases OF eplleptics, and would at
GONE future time explain TO the medical
society the results that had been reached
IN the Individual cases This he did in his
second paper, which he read at the Acad-
envy OF Medicine and in which the doctor
reports the results OF his treatment in the
course OF the year He specifies a number
Of cases in which the treatment has been
successful, and sums up the results of the
treatment OF epilepsy by his system MS be-
ing especially beneficial in adding to the
favorable effects derivablc from other the
rapeutic agents and claims that by It's
application IN the majority of INSTANCES
the Improvement is most satisfactory.
