Women know the influence of beauty
on men; men rarely admire a beautiful
invalid, but they do admire a woman in
whom is blended good features and per-
feet health.
There is no secret about a woman's
beauty; 1t all lies in the care she devotes
to herself, to removing from her system
all poisonous impurities, and keeping at
bay those fearful female diseases.
The flashing eye, elastic step, and bril-
liant complexion are never companions
of womb trouble; only the distressed
expression and aches, pains, blues, faint
ness, dizziness, bearing-down feeling,
etc, keep it company.

PART III.

The corporal looked after his captain
with an expression of mingled amaze
ment, grief and philosophy. He seemed
to be saying to himself that there un-
fortunately were times, after all. when
one could not rely upon the most reliab
of men. When he returned to the group
he found the captain bending over the
girl and saying: why is it that you
don't want us to search up-stairs?
The girls head was buried in her
crossed hands. Locks of her hair had
escaped from their fastenings and these
fell upon her shoulders.
Wont you tell me?''
The corporal here winked again at
the man next to him.
'Because-' the girl moaned. ''Be-
cause-there amt anybody up there"
The captain at last said timidly:
We'll, I'm afraid-I'm afraid We'll have
to"
The girl sprang to her feet again and
implored him with her hands. She
looked deep into his eyes with her
glance which was at this time like that
of the fawn when it says to the hunter:
''Have mercy upon me-"
These two stood regarding each other.
The captains foot was on the bottom
step, but he seemed to be shrinking.
He wore an air of being deeply wretched
and ashamed. There was a silence.
Suddenly the corporal said in quick,
low tone: Look out, captain!'
All turned their eyes swiftly toward
the head of the stairs. There had ap-
peared there youth in a grey uniform.
He stood looking coolly down at them.
No word was said by the troopers. The
girl gave vent to little wall of deSOla-
tion. "Oh, Harry
He began slowly to descend the stairs.
His right arm was in white sling and
there was some fresh blood stains upon
the cloth. His face was rigid and dea tn
1y pale, but his eyes flashed like lights.
The girl was again moaning in an ut
terly dreary fashion as the youth came
slowly down toward the silent men in
blue.
Six steps from the bottom of the flight
he halted and said: Il reckon it's me
you're looking for"
The troopers had crowded forward a
trlfle and. posed in 1.-the, nervous atti-
tudes, We're watching him like cats. The
captain remained unmoved At the
youths question he merely nodded his
head and said. yes" .......
The3young man in grey looked down
at the girl and then, in the same even
tone which now, however, seemed to
vibrate with suppressed fury he said:
"And is that anyreason why you should
insult my sister?"
At this sentence, the girl INTERVIEWED.
desperately, between the young man in
grey and the officer in blue. "Oh, don't
Harry, don't! He was good to me! He
was good to me, Harry-indeed, he
was"
The youth came on in his quiet, erect
fashion until the girl could have
touched either of the men with her
hand, for the captain still remained
with his foot upon the first step. She

'Oh. I know It. but" Eventually
he continued: We'll. some day. you
know. when there's no more fighting.
We might" He observed that she
had again withdrawn suddenly into the
shadow SO he said "Well. goodbye"
When he held her fingers she bowed
her head and he saw pink blush steal
over the curves OF her cheek and neck. :.
Am l never going to see you again?"
She made no reply.
"Never!' he repeated.
After a long time he bended over to
hear faint reply: ''Sometimes-when
there are no troops in the neighborhood
grandpa don't mind II I-walk over as
far as that old oak tree yonder-in the
afternoons"
1t appeared that the captains grip
was very strong, for she uttered an ex-
clamation and looked at her fingers as
II she expected to find them mere frag-
ments. He rode away.
The bay horse leaped q flower bed.
They wer almost to the drive when the
girl uttered panic-stricken cry.
The captain wheeled his horse vio-
lently and upon his return Journey went
straight through a fiower-bed.
The girl had clasped her hands. She
beseeched him wildly with her eyes,
oh, please. don't believe II. never
walk to the old oak tree. Indeed.
don't. 1 never-never-walk there
The bride dropped on the bay char
gers neck The captains figure seemed
limp. With an expression of profound
detection and gloom. he started OFF at
where the leaden sky met the dark
green line of woods. The long-impend-
ing rain began to fail with a mournful
patter, drop and drop. There was a
silence.
At last a low voice said: "Well-I
might-sometimes I might-perhaps-
but once In great while-I might walk
to the old tree in the afternoons"

HOW We GO 10 SLEEP.

The Sight Is First to Leave and the Sense
Of Feeling Is the Last to Depart-The
Sense Of Touch In Some Persons Is
Never Absent.
Cincinnati Medical Journal.
''Order Is Heavens first law" and the
truth Is manifested even in the process
Of going to sleep. When a man drops
of to sleep his body does not do SO all
at once, so to speak. Some senses be-
come dormant before others, and al
ways in the same order. As ne be-
sense Of seeing is at rest. 1t is quickly
followed by the disappearance of the
sense of taste. He next loses the sense
of smell, and then, after short inter-
val. the tympanum becomes insensible
to sound, or rather the nerves which
run to the brain from 1t fail to arouse
any sense of hearing. The last sense
to leave Is that of touch. and In some
representative people Ut is hardly ever
dormant. Even in their case, however,
there is no discriminating power or
sense Of what touched them. This
sense Is also the first to return upon
awakening. Then hearing follows suit.
after that taste, and then the eye be
comes able to flash impressions back
to the brain. The sense of smell. oddly
enough, though 1t Is by no means the
first to go, Is the last to come back.
The same gradual loss of power ds ob-
served in the muscles and sinews as
we'll as I'm the senses. Slumber begins
at the feet and slowly spreads up the
limbs and trunk until 1t reaches the
brain, when unconsciousness is COM
plete and the whole body Is at rest.
This Is why sleep is impossible when
the feet are cold,

"You lie!'
All save the captain and the youth
in grey started in an electric move
ment. These two words cracked in the
air like shattered glass. There was a
breathless silence.
The captain cleared his throat. His
look at the youth contained a quality of
singular and terrible ferocity, but he
said in his stolld tone: II don't sup

Upon his arm be had felt the pressure
of some unconscious little fingers. The

there watching him.

seems that he could not manage it. He
struggled heroically. The bay charger
with his great mystically solemn eyes
looked around the corner of his shoul-

The captain studied a pine tree. The
girl inspected the grass beneath the
window. The captain said hoarsely:

She looked at him affrightedly and
shrank back from the window. He
seemed to have woefully expected re-

WHITE MAGIC,

Against the world close my heart,
And half in pride and half in fear,
said to Love and Lust: Depart;
None enters here.
A gypsy witch has glided in,
She takes her seat beside my fire;
Her eyes are innocent of sin,
Mine of desire.
She holds me with an unknown spell,
She fold me in her hearts embrace;
II this be love cannot tell;
! watch her face.
Her sombre eyes are happier
Than any joy that e'er had voice;
Since i am happiness to her,
too rejoice.
And I have closed the door again.
Against the world l close my heart;
! hold her with my spell; in vain
Would she depart.
I hold her with surer spell.
Beyond her magic, and above;
II hers be love, / cannot tell,
But mine Is love.

MONEY IN INVENTIONS.
Some of the Fat Things Obta ined by Mcr
of Ideas.

The man who invented the brass
spring fingers one sees on lamps for
holding the chimney in place got for q
long period a royalty of s5O,OOO a year.
A former official of the Chicago and
Northwestern railway patented, June
l, 1886, thousand-mile ticket which
possessed so many advantages that it
has been adopted by many western
roads. Several years ago he resigned
his place and Is now living on a roy
ality Of $4,000 a year. Recently pat
ent has been granted on a new whistle
used principally by bicyclers and made
on the principle of the fog whistle. The
inventor has received for some time
past 5000 a month.
Among musical instruments for gen.
eral use the autoharp has perhaps
made the most money. The first one
was patented in 1882. The organette,
with perforated paper sheets, is an
other of the money making musical in
struments named by the New York
Sun as having returned a fortune to
the inventor.

REVERSING DARWIN.
John MOlanSky Said TO Be Rapidly

New York, Nov. 13.-John Molansky, Il
cracker manufacturer at No. % Cherry
street. for the last year and half has
been changing in voice ard feature. until
persons who knew him two years ago
would hardly recognize him now
To physicians this change is known as
acrOmy CANA, and is ore of the rarest OF
ailments. SO unusual is il that they can
not agree about it. and some claim IL is
not disease, but physical form of
atavisn. OF retrOgression from the
human 10 some primitive type of man.
human To some primitive type of man.
Molansky is undergoinga gradua lph ysical
metamorphosis His face is slowly chang
ing from its natural type until already
il has come to show Il strong resemblance
to the head of an animal. His Jaw, which
was formerly well formed, has become
protrudng and enlarged, while the bones
about the eyes have grown abnormally.
His face has changed in such IA marked
manner that even the bushy beard and
heavy hair which he wears are insufficient
to hide the Disagreement.
Besides the change in his head his hands
aud feet are growing longer and larger.
and are assuming the marked resemblance
to those of an ape. In spite of this he does
not at present suffer much physical pain,
and is able to attend to business as usual
Whether he is suffering from a disease or
not the doctors cannot agree. but they are
certain there is nothing contagious about
the change.
Arrouygalia, the disease from which the
doctors say Molansky is suffering, has only
