inexperienced girl upon her first incursion
into literature came to Eva
She lived sparingly, worked hard, and
never made the mistake OF refusing invita-
tions on the ground of work. She stayed
up little later to get up a little earlier
instead. A weekly column on 'Health
and Beauty" placed at her disposal by the
youthful editor of new woman's paper,
who had met her at the Writer'S Club and
thought her pretty, paid her weekly bill at
the clearinghouse. Her stories found fire.
quent acceptance, and occasional welcome
in the minor periodicals, and Il happy meet
ing with an editor at dinner party paved
the way to her appearance in a wdely-read
magazine. By the end of the year Eva
Norrngton had got so far toward the reali-
cation of her ambition that when people
heard her name mentioned they wrinkled
their hrows and tried to remember where
! they had heard it before. At home, Of
course, her fame was great. The papers in
which she wrote circulated freely in the
town, her stories were discussed at after
noon teas, and townsfolks were glad to
think that they participated to some extent
in the literary work of the century.
All this time Eva was horrible lonely.
She knew plenty Of people and liked them
they were kind to her, some of them be-
cause they liked her for herself, others be-
cause they saw she was marked for ultimate
success. Having advanced a certain dis
lance along the road she had longed to
travel, she could judge whittier it would
lead her. 1t would lead her to place in
the newspaper paragraphs, to place in the
photographers windows and to place at
Bayswater or South Kensington. This,
then, must be the end of the struggle and
the turmoil of the fight. And how she
hated the fight A fight wherein victory
would bring her no nearer to the actualites

Although ii very busy man, DR.. Il. v.
Pierce, Of Buffalo, y. V, has found time
in which to write i great book of over a
thousand pages entitled, The Peoples Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser in Plain
English, or Medicine Simplited. Few
books printed in the English language have
reached so great sale as has this popular
work, over $50, 900 copies having been sold
at $3.50 each. The profits on this enor-
nous sale having repaid its autaor for the
great amount of labor and money expended
on its production he has now decided to
give away, absolutely free, 800, 900 copies
of this valuable book, the recipient only
being required to mail to the Worlds Dis
pensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, n.
Y, of which company he is president,
twenty-one (2Done-cent stamps, to cover
cost of mailing only, and the book will be
sent postpaid. 1t is veritabe medical
library, complete in one volume. 1t con-
tains zoos large pages, and over 300 Illus
trations, some of them in colors. The Free
Edition is precisely the same as that sold
at $3.50 except only that the books are
bound in strong MANILA paper covers, in
stead of cloth. 1t is not often that our
readers have an opportunity to obtain a
valuable book on such generous terms, and
we predict that few will miss availing
themselves of the unusual and liberal offer
to which we have called their attention.

where good work is wanted. Here l am
hampered; in London"
"You may fail, /" said Allan, with note
of hope in his voice. Then Eva spoke:
81 shall succeed know | shall. | am
certain of it,"
'Will you write to me?'
Eva hestated. She was half inclined to
give in to that extent. Allan had mis-
taken her hesitation.
"No," he said. "There shall be no sell
tshness in my love for you. l will wait a
year from tonight, and then if London is
no CO. you know there will always be me.
You can't expect me to pray for your sue
cess, can you?"
Eva, placed on her mettle, looked him in
the face.
81 am bound to succeed she said, and
turned to CO. The waltz had ceased in the
room below and rustic OF skirts and q
ripple of tongues had taken its place.
"Eva-once- the last time, perhaps"
She turned again laughing.
"Quick," she said, "some one may
come"
A woman may forget many things, but
no woman ever forgets the first time a
lovers arm is around her waist and lovers
lips upon her own. And as Eva sat in a
corner of third class carriage in London
train next morning, looking forward to the
career before her, the remembrance of the
support of Allan's arm persisted in obtrud-
ing itself. Having got what she wanted
she already began to doubt if she wanted
what she had got. For career, after all,
is rather lonesome sort of thing.

changed, the day would he heightened, the
atmosphere would be rendered poisonous
by the additional gases introduced. There
would also be great atmospheric disturb
ances, delugeS fires and cyclones. For
tunately we know of no comet whose mass
approNimates to that of the earth. Also
there is plenty OF room in boundless space
for each to pursue its course without coming
in contact. Still there is a possibility that
the two bodies may meet, and there is no
doubt but that several comets hav. struck
the earth, and also that the earth has
sometimes grazed comet, and on some
occasions has passed through one. 1t is
highly probable, and in fact is the only
satisfactory explanation of the "Drift. I"
that the earth once passed through the
body of large comet and by its superior
attraction pulled down portion of matter
which covered the earth to the height OF
600 or 700 feet with sand, clay or gravel
The fall of the drift must have DESTROYED
all animal or vegetable life wherever it fell
Noah's flood was also caused by comet
Recently Biela's comet was broken into two
parts by coming too near the earth; these
two portions were about $4,000 miles
apart and moved along in parallel orbits.
One of them grazed the earth at the time of
the great fire at Chicago. There were also
unusually great fires at the same time
Since that the fragments of Biela have not
been seen. Comets also, by poisoning the
atmosphere, have in all probability been
the cause Of the ''black death" and other
plaques.

Of life; for she had come to learn in the
years struggle that our social system by NO
means places women on an equality with
men, and that whereas men can buy the
coveted evil fruit of the trees by the bottle,
women must buy the tree outright, and
pay cash. 1t was terribly unfair And the
most unfair thing about the whole business
was that, while success was almost within
her grasp, success was not what she wanted.
There was no fun in living your own life
when that is precisely the life you do not
want to lead.
1t was not as though Allan Craig had
never kissed Eva Norrington.
She opened the letter-cutting the en-
velope with her nail scissors. For some
distinction must be made between your
first love letter and your boolimaker's bill.

What Would Happen if the Earth and Comet

n OF much is at present certainly
NJ known as to the nature and con-
| stitution of comets. All belonging
to the solar system either revolve
round the sun in elliptical orbits, or after
leaving that luminary are detected into
other paths by the attraction of some
planet or star. Many comets must have
small mass, because the effect of their at
traction on the planets is imperceptible.
Donati's comet got entanged amongst the
moons of the planet Jupiter, and was
thereby detained for several weeks, but
finally escaped. Astronomers were unab'"
to detect any defect produced on the moons
of Jupiter, while the comets orbit was SO
completely changed that its perihelion now
is in the place where its aphelion formerly
was, and consequently it no longer can be
seen from the earth, and never will unless
another change produced by some other
planetary disturbance should occur. Comets
most consist of matter in a state of great
tenuity. This is evident because small
stars are frequently seen through the en-
velope and even the nucleus. The matter
OF comets is similar to that of the earth.
By means of spectrum analysis, carbonated
hydrogen has been detected in Brovsen's
and other comets, and various other sub
stances in the gaseous form have been
recognized. The danger to be apprehended
from collision are not what are commonly
believed. If a comet Of mass equal to or
greater than that of the earth should
collide with our planet the result would be
that the orbit of the earth would be

slowly, knitting her brows as she turned
