John Harding. With him it was all or
nothing. He had given to this girl the
one love of his life; and read in her
eyes glances answering his own; had
seen her face brighten into expectancy
at his coming; felt her tender pressure
answering his hand clasp, and hope
would rise buoyant in his heart, only
TO be dashed again into despair, as he
would meet her averted glances or in
different words. He was not very pa
tient, this strong man; and, with his
stern will bent upon purpose, trifling
was beyond his comprehension.
"You know what i have to offer you,
Marjorie" he said to her on the even
ing of the same day of the conversation
recorded above. II don't question your
right to better, in one sense. but must
have my answer. Squire Arnold thinks
the same. don't doubt, judging from
the sweetness Of Your smiles."

DANGER IN SMOKING.

cate tobacco as the cause of cancer Of

from this cause is said to be lobulated

mucous and sometimes Of horny tissue

inferior quality of tobacco. The under
lip or part of the tongue most in contact
with the overheated stem of the pipe
Is most frequently attacked. These
neoplasms grow in the base OF the
tongue and on the tonsils of those who
have lost their teeth and who hold the
pipe deep in the mouth. The weight
of the pipe Is source of irritation, and
the cancer is found on the side where
the pipe is held. Contagion from two
men using the same pipe may result.
When an early operation is performed
ON cancroids situated on the lip the
prognosis may be favorable, but the
reverse is the case when the tonsils or
tongue is attacked. Smokers should
use pipe with an amber mouthpiece.
and II should never be smoked to the
bottom. Acrid tobacco should be
avoided. Chicago Inter Ocean.

An isolated tree offers a most danger
GUS attraction to lightning. In woods
the peril is diminished because the
electricity is scattered. Trees with
roots deep in humid soil are more apt
to be struck than those in drier spots.
Trees in damp places are always con-
ductors of electricity. Lightning pre-
fers oaks and rarely touches beeches.
Resistance to electrical discharges
varies according to the proportion Of
oily matter contained in the wood. The
poplar possesses but little greasy sub
stance and is a good conductor. 1t il
dangerous to those who trust 1t for
shelter, but if planted not nearer than
ten meters from dwelling proves to
be good lightning rod. If certain pop
lars are easily struck by electric fluid, it
is because their roots are in damp soil.
All isolated trees should be avoided dur
ing Thunderstorm.
