CHAPTER V.

Nothing will describe the dosolatior
which filed Beryl Lindons heart
when she stepped on to the platform
at Easthill. She had left London filled
with the one desire Of escaping from
her father and stepmother. Ever since
she heard of the formers marriage her
one end and object had been to get
safely away from Chichester square. II
was only when she had actually start
ed, when Mrs. Markham's kindly race
was lost to sight, that she realized she
was going among strangers, that q
new, untrled life lay before her, with
not one friendly voice to brighten 1t.
It was a long, tedious journey, and
involved two changes. Easthill was on
a branch line, at which only the slow
est of trains condescended to stop.
She was very plainly dressed in
black; but all her things had come
from West End shop, and there was
an air of distinction about her not
often seen in a lonely little third class
traveller.
She was eighteen, though she looked
older-a very small, fairy-like crea-
ture, with soft, wavy brown hair, and
big, lustrous blue-grey eyes. Her COM
plexion was very fair, and had the
daintiest carmino tint.
She knew absolutely nothing Of the
country Brighton Brussels, where
she had been at school, and the tall
house in Elchester square had made
up her world, To find herself at a
little rustic station, with only a few
cottages in sight, was almost alarming,
And no one at the station had heard
OF Mrs. Tanners school. That Of It.
self was enough to discourage her.
Don't you be afraid, missile" the
station master said kindly. III you
wrote to the lady, and she had your
letter, she must live here somewhere,
and the postofilce are the best people
to help you find her. You SO straight
along this lane till you come to sign
post, take the road marked 'Easthlll-
on-Sea, and presently you'll see four
or five shops, The postofllce Is the
first of the lot, and they'll put you
right"
Beryl left her luggage to the porters
mercy and started The lane seemed
interminable. Perhaps in summer time
1t was pretty; but 1t was late season,
and the trees were hardly in bud. Their
bare branches almost met in the mid
die OF the lane, looking very like black,
threatening hands uplifted against her
or Beryl thought So She reached
tho sign post without meeting single
creature; but another half-mile
brought her to the shops, and her heart
gave a thrill of relief as she recognized
the Dostofllce.

ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals does not approve of the
sponge, because, in nine cases out of
ten, it is only dampened once in the
morning, and for the rest of the day
absorbs the heat and centers it upon
the horses head. To shower a horse
and then allow the thick top knot to
dry out until it becomes a stiff shell
through which no air can permeate is
of more injury to horse in thirty
minutes than if he worked two hours
in the sun without any protection or
rest.
Farmers laugh at the two-storied
awnings. felt protectors and straw
hats which the city horses are made to
wear. They have found that the eXer-
else of little common sense in caring
for a horse is worth a hundred artifi-
cial safeguards. 1t is very seldom one
hears of prostrations among farm
horses, although they work from day
to day in the open field where the sun
beats down fiercely.
The hat fad has only been in exist
ence here since 1897. when it was in
troduced from Paris In the opinion of
ear tassels and fly nets so prevalent in
the early eighties, and the trousers and
overalls as protection from files and
mosquitoes in 1875.
According to the best authorities, the
drivers of twenty-five and thirty years
ago who stretched an awning from the
wagons to the horses collars had the
right principle for protection against
the heat. The horses head was never
covered, and a prostration was then
the exception and not the rule.

ANCIENT ROMANS CLOTHES.
Many Fabrics Used and skill EN-

From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
At the December meeting of the
Archaeological Institute of America.
Prof. Myron R. Sanford of Middlebury
College. read a most interesting paper
upon The Material of the Tunica and
Toga," and we extract the following
from the Journal of the Institute:
With the passing of the simple toga
and tunica of the early years to the
more ornate and complicated forms of
dress there came to Rome many new
fabrics to vie with wool. Many Latin
writers tell of the use of linen. cotton,
silk and various mixed stuffs. The idea
students gain from the perusal of
classical literature is that rarely did
the newer materials actually supplant
wool in making up the various articles
OF cloth. No one seems to have under
taken the formidable task of an elab-
crate study of the existing paintings
and statuary representing the Roman
dress, to determine how far the artists
intended to suggest various materials
in their drapery. In some of the por-
trait statues in Pompeii it is upreas-
enable to believe that the clumsy,
thick folds do not represent some form
of wool, and the lighter and sometimes
diaphanous folds the finer fabrics. FIRE.
quently in painting, and not rarely in
statuary, different materials are to be
seen in the clothing belonging to the
same figure.
The Latin Department at Middlebury
College has been interested in expert
menting with a considerable variety of
materials in imitation of some OF the
well-known figures. Besides coming to
certain conclusions regarding the
graceful and stiff folding of different
cloths, the students had realized fact
insufficiently emphasized in the man.
uals. namely. that no material from
the heaviest wool to the most delicate
silk will of itself take the beautiful
folding shown in the ordinary statue
or painting. The drapery in the latter
is always one of two results it is

Often the simplicity of certain effects

The tonsils in the throat are often
found to contain germs of all sorts.
The lungs, windpipe, and bronchial
