In that city, in those days-things may
be different now--they did things in a
~free-and-easy, neighborly fashion. For
instance, there were no telephone pay
stations, and not many private houses
were furnished with telephones of their
own; you went to your favorfte corner
drug store, smiled at the clerk and
nodded to the telephone with which
every drug store was equipped. then the
clerk would say, Help yourself" and
you helped yourself. gratis. to the use
of the telephone. Not only that, but, if
you lived near a really obliging drug
store, the clerk would receive messages
for you and send them by a chance mes
senger to your house.
In that way it happened that a good
deal of neighborly conversation, over
and above what went on around the
store, was held in the drug store. And
sometimes one overheard what was not
at all interesting to hear, and sometimes
what was.
Julius Candy overheard something
that interested him very deeply, one day
while he was waiting at the ounte for
the clerk to rummage out and open a
new case of cigars. Julius did not know
the lady by name, though her face was
familiar to him. She went to the tele-
phone end asked for a certain number
which julius knew, it may be said, init
mately. After that he overheard the
lady say rs that you aud
Julius often rang up that number him
self and talked to one Maud.
What he made out afterwards was: 81
want you to tell roe about Faston. Yes?
Yes? Now you're quite sure? 1T is an
engagement. then? So glad. Good by"
And when the drug clerk had got out
those new cigars, and Julius had SAM
pied one, he did not like the flavor nearly
as We'll as he expected to. He bought Il
few of the cigars, so as not to dlsappoint
his friend, the clalk. and then, as he walk
ed home, he meditated bitterly on two
things-the sureness of his insight and
the fickleness of woman
Il knew it all along he said to him
self. II was a blamed fool to let myself
be taken in by a transparent flint like
that. Didn't Billy Herbert give me a
plain hint? And didn't Mrs. Capston
tell me-or as good as tell me-she had
seen Maud Andrews go through all that
more than once before? Never mind. A
fool must learn by experience. It's Eas-
tons turn to learn now. Wonder how Ions
it will be before he gets his lesson"

| wish him joy of her. He'll have Il love-
~ wife if they ever marTy-if it gets as
far as that-ha, ha!"
He was closing the soliloquy with what
is commonly described in print as " a
bitter laugh
AS his luck would have it, Julius met
the lady of the telephone not long after.
1t was by the merest chance that he was
introduced to her. He was buying some
music, for Julius sang in a choir, being
rated a good baritone. and in the music
store he met his organist who was a lady.
With the lady organist was one whom
julius recognized as the person who had
carried on that memorable conversation
The lady organist int oduced him to her
as Mrs. Waller.
IT have often heard of you, Mr.. Candy -
said Mrs. Waller.
Julius wondered why there should be
an ything in this thought to make Mrs.
Waller smile and gaze at him so archly.
OF course she might have heard his or
ganist speak of him. considering that he
was her best and most reliable baritone.
She might also lave heard of him from
Maud Andrews.
Shall You he in the choir on Easter
Day?" said Mrs. Waller.
II believe So" said julius, smiling at
his lady organist.

artistic remarked. Are you only just
buying your score for that affertory, Mr..
Canby?'
IF that is So said Mrs. Waller, Il
hope Mr.. Candy is a quick learner. He
hasn't much time left to learn his part,
and l have quite a number of friends who
are going to church with me on Easter
Day"
"But not to hear me sing, l hope
said Candy.
For some of them I believe that will be
the chief consider ation.'' said Mrs. Wal
Ter. And once more she smiled archly.
Julius thought he knew why MIS-. Wal
len smiled archly. She was a friend OF
Maud Andrews, and Mud was going to
church with her on Easter Day. For that
very reason he wished he could get out of
singing in the choir on that day. He had
half~a mind to be taken with a severe
bronchial trouble

* SCIENCE.

Waterspouts are common on the coast
of New South Wales, often occurring in
groups of three or four. An unusual dis
play of last May was witnessed by a sci
entific observer, Mr.. H. C. Russell, who
has lately given a description of the phe-
nomenon. The morning was fine, with a
light northwest wind and smooth sea.
A dark mass of cloud. lighted by cleo
trical chickering's, appeared in the east,
but gave no warning of the disturbances

spouts We're seen. Each began with a
rotary motion in the water, a large col
umn, with a mist-cap 100 to $50 feet deep,
then gradually rising for three or four
minutes, the clouds at the same time
forming an inverted cone, which alter
nately dipped and rose until it met the
cone of water. The column then remained
unchanged for some minutes, when. get

THE RIGHT MAN TO MARRY.

A certain admiral used to relate that
a pretty girl on a Mississippi steamer
was anxiously sought in marriage by
five of the passengers. Viewing them
all with favor, the girl applied to the
captain of the boat for advice in max
ing her selection. He suggested that
she should leap overheard, after he had
made arrangements that would make
injury to her impossible. She did as he
said. Four of her suitors promptly went
in after her, and united in bringing her
safely back to the deck.
What shall I do noW?" she perpleXed-
ly inquired of the captain.

tannin compounds with sugar.. Autumnal
sunshine favors the production of sugar

A n GROW FAT.

Here is good advice to thin people who
want to grow fat, says Pearson's Week
w.. 1t seems contrary to all our early
training but it is full of good common
sense. and comes from a prominent ply
sician.
IF you are thin and want to put flesh
,,non your bones eat before going to bed
for the night. Physiology teaches us that
there is wasting away of the tissues while
a person sleeps as well as when he is
awake, and thisb being so there should be
continuous nourishment. Food taken at
dinner or in the early evening rs always
digested at the time of retiring, and the
activity of the process of assimilation
continues until long after We are asleep.
''If the tissues are not nOurlshed they
are pulled down by the wasting process,
and as a result sleeplessness ensues. On

Despite the apparently capricious dis
tribution of land and water, the idea that
the earth has a regular plan, says DR.. j.
w. Gregory in a paper to the Royal Geo
graphical Society, dates from the dawn
of geographical science. Noticing the
radiation of the seas from the Levantine
area to a boundless ocean, the early
| classical geographers described the land
as an island floating on d vast sea, whose
channels converged toward the classical
| hub of the universe. The same plan re-
appears in the medieval "Wheel-maps'
with spoke-like areas of lane radiating
from the center at Jerusalem. Later
geographers have thought the earth a
spheroid based on a tetrahedron, others
! have described it as an Oblate spherold
of revolution. but recent discoveries have
proven thai it is not a spheroid in any
sense, being fiattened at the equator as
we'll as the poles, and therefore regarded

as an ellipsoid with three unequal axes.
There is good reason to believe now that
the earth is not even an elllpSOld, the
northern and southern hcmispheres be-
ing unlike. and the earth therefore shaped
like a badly-made peg-top. Prof. G.. II.
Darwin has even said that it more nearly
resembles a potato than an orange. There
is evidence to show, moreover, that he
earth's figure is still more irregular than
a peg-top, and that its shape has under
gone a series of additional determinations.
The north pole, it may be added, is now
known to shift its position, being infiu-
enced by movements of the atmosphere,
the unequal melting of polar ice, and
heavy snowfalls on the Siberian high
lands.
A familiar belief that Russian ex-
plorers have proven to be an error is that
the great Cobb desert in Asia is an arid
waste. Instead of being a sandy waste,
Obrutscheff tells US. it is a steppe-like
plateau, with numerous hills and valleys

In the Marconi system of wireless

The color of negro babies has been eX-
citing much interest among English
physicians seeking examples in their

fetal conditions of America. DR.. Andrew

of India also are nearly white. The color
gradually deepens, becoming chocolate
