How had it occurred that the purse
deposited by Mathew in Jack Langley's
pocket had found its way into the pock-
ct of the plotter himself 1t happenedin
the most simple and yet in the most
wonderful manner. Jack Langley's
overcoat pocket contained large rent
at the base, and when Mayhem had in
serted the purse, he had, of course. not
known of this, otherwise he might
have remembered the ominous fact that
his own coat with the pocket wide
open was underneath. By some strange
cause. perhaps by the passing of some
one in the cloakroom, who stumbled up
against the coats, or by heavy wagon
going in the street and shaking the
floor, the weighty purse had fallen
from the coat above into the pocket OF
the coat beneath, so that Mayhew's
coat, which occupied the latter position.

Natures Wonderful Laws.

The growing of berry calls into ac-
ton some of the most wonderful laws
of nature. In the growth of plants we
find these laws in perfection. We also
find in various forms complete sup
ply of every element required for the
full development of both plant and
fruit. Nature gives us all these prod
ucts without stint. She simply asks
in return that we assist her in some of
the smaller details of the work. She
asks that the soil be made rich and
we'll prepared. That the plants be Of
good quality and carefully set out.
That frequent hoeing and cultivation
be given. That plants be protected
from winter frosts and summer
drought. That no insect pest or fungus
disease find an abiding place with
them.-M. A. Thayer.

a ROMAN PICNIC.
An Incident of the Life of Great
Printer.

An Incident of the Life of n Great
Painter.
On the sad occasion of the death Of
Lord Leighton an august parsonage
wrote of him, and justly: There was
something even greater than his work,
and that was the man himself" A
pretty incident of the great painters
early life is told by Giovanni Costa.
In the month of May it was the GUS
tom formerly for all the artists in Rome
to indulge in picnic at Cervara, a farm
in the Roman campagna. There used
to be donkey races, and the winner OF
them was always the hero of the day.
On one of these picnics we had halted
at small town three miles out of Rome
for breakfast. Everyone had dsmount-
ed and tied his beast to paling, and
all were eating merrily. Suddenly one
of the donkeys kicked over beehive,
and out flew the bees to revenge them
selves on the donleys.
There were about 100 of the poor
beasts, but they all Embossed themselves
and took to fight, kicking up their
heels in the air-all but one little dom
key, who was unable to free himself,
and SO the whole swarm fell upon him.
The picnic party also broke up and
fed, with the exception of one young
man with fair, curly hair, dressed in
velvet, who, slipping on gloves and ty-
ing q handkerchief over his face, ran
to liberate the poor little beast. had
started to do the same, but less reso-
lutely, having no gloves. So met him
as he came back, and, congratulatiDg
him, asked him his name
His name was Frederic Leighton

cola Coins worth SEQ Each.

1t is said that the largest gold coin
now in circulation is the gold ingot or
"lool" of Anam, n French colony in
eastern Asia. 1t is fiat, round gold
piece, and on it is written in India ink
it's value, which is about 1920. The
next sized coin to this valuable but OK
tremely awkward one is the "obang"
of Japan, which is worth about $55, and
next comes the "benda" of Ashantee,
which represents value of about $40.
The California $50 gold piece is worth
about the same as the "benda." The
heaviest silver coin in the world also
belongs to Anam, where the silver ingot
is worth about SIS; then comes the Chi
nese "tael," and then the Austrian
double thaler.-Chicag Times-Herald.

quickly-growing vines are planteda
which soon cover the wire with mass
OF green that becomes more and more
dense and beautiful each succeeding
year if the proper sort of vines Is
used. The proper Sort" in the
writer's estimation, would include our
common woodbine. 1t is quick
grower and it's foliage is remarkably
handsome, both in the green state and
when touched by autumn frosts.
There are many other vines, however,
that would answer admirably for this
purpose, so that all tastes can be
suited. Such a hedge needs only such
annual clippings as will suffice to keep
the vines growing evenly all over the
wire--as thiclsly in one place as in an
other. Cedar stakes should be used
and carefully set in making such
hedge, since once made and covered
with a black growth of vines, it will
be inconvenient to make inferior re-
pairs, though stakes can, of course, be
driven down through the netting IL
necessary.-Webb Donnell, in American
Gardening. ----

When two men are brought constant"

or later. In the case of Arthur May

Now. 80 that the news of the detec-

He was just about to close his books

partition between the two walls was so
1hln that he was able to hear distinctly
every word that passed between the
partner and the detective.
It may be wondered why Mayhem de-
sired to overhear the conversation. He
did 80 simply because he made prac-
tice of eavesdropping whenever he had
q chance. In days gone by he had
picked up one or two valuable "tips"
BY this rather disgraceful process, and
he therefore listened now with all his
ears.

The
Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a etrong sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most intelli-
gent classes. 1t seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi.
clans decide at once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blade
of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to-.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable to make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be INDUCED in
promiscuously, and as so many lives are
sacrificed in this manner, 1t is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be-
ing fearful risk to human life, even II
successful.
1t is positive fact, however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that
majority of them are absolutely under.
taken without the slightest chance Of
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and a sur
gical operation is their only method OF
treating deep-seated cases, such as cam
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, an operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Cam
Ger is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cut from the blood.
