Now, one day there was guest in
this family whose early education had
been neglected, and when PRAYER time
came he did not kneel, but buried his
face in his hands and looked heart
broken-as Rhoda Broughton s3ps men
ALWAYS do in church. The dog did not

the matter fixed then and there, for he

Ambrose seems to know great deal
about moose, after all. He told the
boys how, back from the narrow val
ley and the swift, running streams
the country was all a wilderness; hill
sides clad with birches, naples and
evergreens, and resting at their feet
little lakes, so numerous that no man
knew how many there were. Often,
where these lakes were shallow, the
yellow pond-lily with its oval leaves,
crowned the surface. At other sea-
sons the tender bark of the mountain
ashes and moose-woods are the favor
lite food of the moose; but now there is
nothing he likes so well as the long
tubular roots of the lily. In the very
early mornings and in the evenings,
about the time of the harvest moon
the full moon nearest September 2l-a
hollow sound, not unlike the sound of
distant chopping, may be heard. 1t is
the sound of moose calling to their
mates, or the angry challenge of fierce
rivals. 1t is the sound which the hunt
er initiates to attract the moose.
But there are only few places where
the moose will answer-shallow spots
in certain well known lakes, and it is
said to be nearly useless to call any
where else --Tappan Adney, in St

W0MAN'S WIT.
Told by a Society Girl
Something About Morphine, Sulphur. Mo-
Iasses and Other Things.
From the Ercning Nc,us, Ncrak. M

From The EueHiRg NoSus, NotraIk, ". j.
Among the popular society leaders in
East Orange, n. j., Emma j.. Stoll, charm
ing young maiden, stands in the foremost
rank She is of lovable disposition and
the light of the social set in which she
moves. For two years she has been a sick
girl from internal troubles peculiar 10 wom-
en-, and having recently recovered, has
given our reporter the folio wing interesting
account:
"Instead of improving under the care of
my physician 1 became worse. For five
weeks l was unable TO get out of bed and
about six O'Clock each morning | suffered
horribly. My lips were sore and lacerated
from the marks of my teeth, for in my ef-
forts TO keep from screaming j sunk my
teeth deep into my lips. At such times l
rolled and tossed until the bcd shook like
an aspen leaf ard it finally got so serious
that the dOctor-l won't tell you his name
gave me some morphine pills to take. The
very thought of them now makes me shiyer.
These morphine pills simply put me to sleep
for awhile and when / became conscious
again my agony was renewed.
"The pain in my stomach and back was
moro than l could stand. Your blood is
poor said the doctor, 'tallc sulphur and mo-
lasses, and did until itwas a great wonder
that was not a molasses cake. II was time
wasted in taking it becausoI was not beue-
fitted in the least; my suffering continued,
but by a mighty effort after being in bed so
long, | got up. Oh, but i was a sad sight
then. From liz pounds, j had fallen 10
ninety; my cheeks were pale and sunken
and limped; yes, actually hobbled from the
extreme pain in my side Then read of
DIR. Williams Pin6 Pills for Pale People
and the testimonial in tho Aoacs inspired me
with hope. l got the pills and took them.
Before many DAYS began TO improve and
before l had finished one box felt as if l
could go out and walk for miles. ] soon
stopped limping and through the Pink Pills
/ soon bid goodbye TO my headaches while
the pain in my stomach and back slowly
but surely succumbcd TO the influence Of
these pills that seem 10 DO able 10 persuade
all pain to leave ones body. Now am as
used to be; well and strong, light-heartcd
and merry but never without the pills. See
1 have got some of them now," and from
a nearby desk she handed out one of the
boxes.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a con-
densed form, all the clements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also
spcciiic for troubles peculiar To females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow ofhealth 10 pale
and sallow checks. In mon they effect
radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overworlS or excesseS of whatever
nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (ncver

PROBABLY there is nothing that interests
land owners more at this time of year than
fencing. They want TO secure the very best
article they can for the purpose they desire
to use IL, and at the cheapest price going
While this is good business, price should
not take the place of quality. In building q
smooth wire fence you do not build il for
temporary use but expect it To last foryears,
and To get this kind of an article it requires
Il certain amount o good material To make it,
The DE kalb Fence Co, of De Kalb lii
nois, has the largest and most complete line
of smooth wire fencing of any plant in the
country. They desire particularly to call
your attention to their goods. Write them
for a catalogue. which they will mail YOU
free. No line of goods has grown SO rapid
ly in demand or given such general Satislac-
ton as the fencing manufactured by this
company. Their steel web picket fence for
lawn and yard purposes; their cabled field
and hog fence for farm use; their cabled
poultry, garden and rabbit fence are all
they claim for them. You will hardly do
yourself justice i You do not thoroughly in-
vestigate their lines before placing your
order.

A WONDERFUL BATHROOM.
The Father Stands in "A whirIIns Maze of
Mater.


Water.
Nothing delights the civilized man
or woman more than to view a we'll
ordered, convenient bathroom This
is an account of the best bathroom in
New York: 1t is at the Montehore
Home for Incurables and Chronic In
valids, one of the most deserving char
tiles in New York. After one has
gone through its clean halls and wards
one is prepared for something excel
lent in the way of bathroom But
one is surprised and more than pleased
when its full beauties are displayed.
This bathroom is in the basement,
of course, it has the usual things, in
cluding the box in which one may be
parboiled in hot air or steam, with
electric accessories. 1t has the marble
footbath and the needle bath. the
shower and the hose, and in addition
it has other things that make 1t i'm
possible for any human beings to leave
it with the remotest trace of unclean-
illness.
In the center of the large room is a
marble stand, on the fat top of which
are a dozen stopcocks, two lines OF
hose, thermometers and steam radia-
tors. In a corner is what looks like
the usual combination of needle and
shower bath. The attendant takes
his position behind the Taarble stand,
and, with the aid of the stopcocks,
controls over a score of baths and
combinations of baths.
He who seeks bodily purity takes
his stand in the center of the circle OF
pipes that make the needle baths
The attendent turns a cock, and sew
eral thousand streams of hot or cold
water, as ne chooses, issue from the tiny
holes in the pipes and center upon the
body. He turns another wheel, and a
shower of water decends from the cell
ing. He turns third wheel, and from
the floor under the feet rises power
full fountain. The bather is now stand
ing in a whirling maze of water under
high pressure. Round 60 the wheels
under the hands of the attendant and
the water stops. Then he turns an
other wheel, and steam issues instead.
The man who is bathing now comes
out of the needle bath and stands
against the wall The attendant
points hose at him and turns a wheel
The cold water rushes out in a great
stream. He gradually reduces its
temperature, and, by turning another
wheel, makes hot water, almost boil
ing, issue from the hose A third
wheel controls steam, and this may
be projected from the hose.
1.-The hottest bath any man takes
here, is l4o degrees, said the attend
ant THE coolest is below zero. We
have water artificially chilled as well
as heated.'-N Y. World.

The whole operatic record of the
little German city of Coburg is ex-
tremely striking. The Coburg house
is mainly supported by the state and
the reigning duke. The total expenses
during the past financial year are put
at nearly $4,000, TO which the state
and municipality contributed SIS, 800;
the duke, SOS, 500; and the public, by
purchase of tickets, only s3l,525. The
sum last stated represents nearly all
the money spent on musical perform
ances by the citizens, as concerts do
