The volunteer movement of divers

body has made any active effort to stop
the friends OF Cuba from organizing a
movement to aid the rebels, but General
Estrada Palma has refused to accept aid
or give any encouragement to volunteers,
because he is afraid of the extradition
laws.
Messrs. Jones and Mascherini, leaders of
the local movement to raise funds for the
aid of the insurgents, wrote to Genera
Estrada Palma nearly three weeks ago
outlining what they proposed to do. Tney
waited twelve days, then wired, but got
no response: then wired again, and now
they have written, sending registered
letter to make sure that it will be received.

That every passer-by may learn
How sacred memory keeps her trust
In votiye gift and stored urn.
But oh! the hearts that ache and break
Through all the long bright summer days
For sotuo sweet word OF tenderness.
Some generous and outsroken praise;
And oh! the bitter tears that fall
Ger life's mistakes and cruel fate,
That all things which the heart most Graves
O! love ard S.cry come too late.
Then take the rose that blooms to-day
And lay it in some loving hand,
And wait not till the ear grows dull
TO tell the sweet thoughts that you
plannel.
One kiss on warm ana loving lips
Is worth & thousand funeral flowers,
And one glad day OF tender love
Outweghs in age OF morning hours.

Hot Air Treatment.

It has taken tho medical world q
very long time to become alive to the
fact that hot applications ana hot air
and water treatment are among tho
most useful forms Of medication known
to the human family. A great many
physicians arc fond Of speaking in q
semi-indulSent. half way contemptu-
Gus fashion of what they are pleased
to term "hone medication" and "old
woman's remedies" but there are q
few doctors who are willing to admit
that medicine is quite secondary con-
dition in the treatment of disease.
They are fran|; enough to acknowledge
new what their brethren in the pro-
fession will DO forced to do at some
future time, that the system has more
effect on tha me0iclnt then tho medl-
cine on the system, and that the great
chemical laboratory OF the human
bod is able to change a bencfcent
drug into poison OF the most viru-
lent OF the toxines into n means Of re-
lief. There are scores of cages OF ILL.,
ness where the application OF intense
heat would pua tia chemical forces OF
life at work and restore the functions
| to their normal condition without the
aid Of one particle Of medicine. That
doctors do not act upon this knQwi-
edge 10 not altogether their fault.
When patient IL suffering severely
there is an imperative demand from
the friends for something to be done.
It is often the case that there are no
facilities for applying heat, and If
there were. this might not be alto
gether satisfactory to the family Of
the sick person. People like doctor
who comes and does something him
self without taxing others to do for
him. He Is supposed to have toe mesus
of relief in his hands, and as 81 old
lady once expressed it, "He goes right
to work and does something himself,
and doesn't expect the family to do
his work for him" What does ono
have doctor !or, to be sure, except
he is able TO give something to stop
the pain at once? A great deal of suf~
fering might be avoided il people
conld only be made to realize that a
cup of hot water or u hot bath would
almost Immediately remove many OF
the more violent symptoms CT disease.
Every family, especially those where
there are children, should be provided
with some means for takinga hot water,
hot air or steam bath. The Ledger.

In the Days that followed it would
have been curious study, for one not
vitality interested, to have watched the
change in Luke North manner toward
Miss Branch.
Gradually, from a polite listening
to her, he camo to turn with m appar.
entity irresistible inclination toward
that part OF the room where she hap
pered to be.
He stood near her chair; he looked
at her If he spoke; he listened with a
peculiarly vivid look upon his face
whenever she made any remark.
This attention was not marked; on
the contrary, it almost seemed rs if it
were DESTROYS of concealing even from
his own consciousness the attraction
which Miss Branch held for him, and
which every day he felt more and more
powerfully.
Had he ever thought her }ace I'm.
progressing? When Julia reminded
him, one day, that he said Miss Branch
was plain, he uttered an exclamation
Of astonishment, but he made no other
reply. His betrothed, in troubled
tone, persisted in dwelling upon the
subject.
II suppose she must be fascinating,
is she not?' she asked, w,stfully.
The mans face wore strange smile.
lie averted his eyes, as he remarked,
in y harsh voice:
Fascinating! Yes, I think that mus!
lie the word by which to describe your
friend, aud she is your friend, is she
not?" asking the question, suddenly.
Julia StaIlo trembled little enG
turned pale. She seemed TO struggle
for moment with herself, and then
she said, family:
ooh, yes! Oh course she is my
friend"
The winter days ran on. Miss Branch
had come to stay with her friend unit
the spring.
How did it happen that Mr.. Nortl
could now sometimes come to the house
and remain, perhaps, for couple O
hours before Julia would come int
the room? He always scrupulousl.
called for her the moment he came
but he appeared to forget that she hat
not come.
On one Of those days when Julia hst
not come, North had been strollin!
about ths room in silence. Though
he did not speak, his eyes returned
again and again to the girl who sat 81
quietly on the sofa. There was reck
less resolve in her face, and that loos
was mingled with something whicl
could not be interpreted, which Al,
