from irregular nerve supply to that vital or

by so many wel-known representative men

origin is a rundown, exhausted nervous

The trouble il that the machines needed

be utilized for no other purpose. while

OF the four kinds of cannon-mountain

bulkiest, and it is to the manufacture of
these that the Watertown arsenal is

or easy-chair will find this screen as
desirable an accessory as does one who
is confined to the bed.
One who is either an occasional or a
permanent invalid has two great trials
not usually counted in the list of her
sufferings: one is the inconvenience Of
asking for every tiny little want-a
handkerchief, pencil. postage stamp
or any one of hundred things de-
sired by any active mind for an inactive
body.
She will often go without rather than
ask, or, having asked so often, grows
irritable at the conditions which re-
quire her to be always demanding IA
vors. That the serving hands are will
ing ones does not seem to lessen this
feeling.
The second trial is that, to one lying
down in perpetual inertia, every trifie
in the house seems to gravitate toward
the bed and to be deposited there-the
flotsam of the flowing tide. All these
inanin,ate things have been brought
by one or another of loving family
with the intention of giving pleasure
to the invalid.
There are books, letters, newspaper
cuttings and other trifles that need to
be removed, but they all stay in an
ever-increasing heap to the annoyance
and despair of the invalid, who must
either tolerate the confusing EN-
barrassment of riches or call upon
some one to remove the tiresome ac-
emulation.
When even the "grasshopper is bur.
den," these things depress the spirits.
Perhaps the bed-screen will show the
way out of some of these annoyances.-

The adopted daughter of Mrs. Clara

The uprising had it's inception from
the ghost dance. Orders had been is

was terrific. The next day terrible

the battle had waged.
On the fourth day the babe was dis

though ne rides bicycle and is devoted
to dogs and flowers.
Speaking of this his sister says: ut
would be hard to tell which he likes the
most-music or flowers. He will spend
all his money on flowers, and do all
sorts of imprudent things for the sake
of his music. One day during dreadful
snowstorm he had a practice at the
church, and it seemed impossible to
keep him at home, although he had
bad cold. So we sent out for a carriage,
and, of course, it took some little time
All the while had to be most positive
in refusing to allow him to start out be-
fore it came. Next to music, think he
likes arithmetic and history, though
until quite recently he has disliked the
former, because 1 suppose he has just
begun to understand it. During the
summer months the whole family go to
Canada, and Harry spends the holidays
frolicking like other boys. Music and
books are forbidden. so he takes long
rides through the country on his wheel,
goes boating and fishing on the lakes,
OF runs wild through the woods with
his dogs. Zach fall he comes home a
trife taller and healthier looking, ready
to work hard with his music and books"
At the Christmas service of Grace
church he sang a solo: Hear Ye, o

had ever been sung by boy, and had he
never done anything else the rendition
of that piece would have made him IA
