What One Girl Did.

Suspended in mid-air from third
story window for five minutes one day
recently with nothing to prevent her
plunging to death but the uncertain
strength of Mary White, a fragile girl,
IS years old, Mrs. William Foley
struggled to take her own life. Mrs.
Foley is somewhat demented. Miss
White clung to the woman and
screamed for help. Two men heard
her calls and hurried to the house,
arriving just in time to rescue the two
women from their perilous position.
When Miss White saw her friend was
safe she, womanlike, tainted.
Mrs. Foley is widow and lives IN
a third-story tenement on the bank OF
Mad river. The stream flows directly
beneath the windows of the woman s
apartments. The river was a raging
torrent at the time, and had she
jumped into it she would never have
been rescued alive. For some time
she has been respondent and told Miss
White, who lives with her, that some
day she would throw herself into the
water. Miss White entered the rear
room to see Mrs. Foley plunge ont o.
the window. The girl caught her by
one hand, and was almost pulled ou'
into the swift waters below, but she
caught the window frame and held on

The Execution of Laud.


while Presbytery had been fighting
It's victorious battle in the Jerusalem
Chamter." writes John Morley in the
February Century, "the man whose bad
steering had wrecked his church was
sent to the block. The execution OF
Archbishop Laud January 10, 1645) Is
the best Of all the illustrations OF the
hard temper of the time. Laud was
more than seventy years old. He had
been for nearly five years safe under
lock and key in ths Tower. His claws
were effectSally clipped, and 1t was
certain that he would never again be
able to do mischief, or II he were, that
vuch mischief as he could do would be
too trivial to be worth thinking OF In
sight of such q general catastrophe as
could alone make the old mans return
to power possible. The execution OF
Strafford may be defended as great
act of retaliation or prevention. done
with grave political purpose. So, plaus-
IDLY or otherwise. may the execution OF
King Charles. No such high consider
ations justify the execution OF Laud
several years after he had committed
the last Of his imputed offenses and
had been stripped Of all power OF evel
committing more. 1t Il not necessary
that we should echo DR.. Johnson's
lines about Rebellion's vengeful talons

It has been proven by abundant in
vestigation that one prolific source OF
endemic disease Is found in the ina
biluy of the germs of such diseases to
lodge in the mouth around the teeth
and gums. A physician examined the
teeth of the children of certain
school. He found disease germs pres
ent in almost every case. By careful
watching he discovered that those chill
dren whose teeth were kept cleanest
suffered less from epidemic diseases.
The neglected condition of the teeth
is. therefore, a common cause of ILL
ness; indeed. II one takes the trouble
to observe with what rapidity the tar
tar and cheesy matter accumulate
around the teeth OF people who are
out of health. they will not be long in
making I'D their minds that thorough
and judicious use of the tooth brush Is
not very far from a means OF grace.

"The pew is a testimony to the fam
lily and ought to be maintained with Its
doors removed, and it does not matter
whether a man pay $50 year for his
pew or so cents" writss Ian Maclaren
of "The Pew and the Man in 1t" In the
Ladies' Home Journal. THE church
authorities should see that the house.
holder has his pew, with room enough
in it for himself, his wife and the chill
dren which God has given them. There
is no reason in the world why the rich
man should not pay a handsome sum
for his church home. And some OF US
have never been able to understand
why an artisan should not give some
thing for his church home also. Surely
every man wishes to do what Is right
in the direction of his church. Every
self-respecting man likes to pay for his
home whether 1t be large or small, and
Il touches a mans honor to live In q
workhouse, where he pays no rent and
depends on the public. There is no
necessity that this home feeling and
this Just independence should be de-
MED in the house Of God. but 1t rather
seems a good thing that the man who
works and gives to provide a house
where he and the children can live to-
gether in comfort and self-respect si1
days of the week should do his part tc

Good Advice About Wells.

When money is scarce there seems
that runs away with ones
money so fast as wells. Their life is
very short-lived one, and often mis-.
adventure ruins them as soon as
bought. Yet We must wear them if we
want to look smart, and to buy cheap
ones is worse than useless, as they
never look well from the day they are
bought. The truest economy is to buy
fine net by the yard. 1t cuts to better
advantage, you get four wells for the
price of one, and it is of far better
quality, and lasts longer than if you
buy yelling pure and simple.
