to do my work or chores or to sit at

gone. and then struggled along in the
clutch of despair, not knowing where

ing, as [ had but twelve cents left.
Finally, at the urgent solicitation
of L. A. Murray, manager for Profess

who will be at the Dixon House for
some months yet, called upon them
for free examination and consultation
yesterday, and was cured in one treat
ment of ten minutes in manner that
still seems too miraculous for me to
realize or understand. | at once threw
away my crutch and walked off happy
in the renewal of my strength, for
which | thank God and the kind gen.
tlemen, Prentiss and PrentiSS. This
morning / did my chores and am
about my ordinary work as before my
trouble came upon me.

"The property is hers TO do abso

leave it to charities; she can do as
she will. Poor Sir Charles thought
she would be sure to marry"
mo doubt she will" said the cap
tain, whose lips had grown pale; and
there was curious expression in his
eyes, harsh sound in his voice, as
he continued: There is another view
of the matter, which no one seems to

Mr. Sansome is a good man of bust

A spasm of suspense passed over

He was beginning to recover his
self possession. For a brief interval
he was silent, thinking whether he

AN OLD-TIME GARDEN

once | knew garden plot
Filled with fragrant flowers.
None was rare, but all were fair.
After summer showers.
UP from beds of mignonette
In the sunlight sleeping,
Up from beds of mint and thyme.
Perfume sweet came sweeping.
Crimson peony glowed beside
Purple Haunting mallow:
Marshalled by the garden wall.
Hollyhocks grew trim and tall.
Red and white and yellow.
All along that gardens walk
Sweet pinks were blooming:
In among the columbines
Brown bees were humming.
Lad's-love and larkspur
And daffydowndilly,
Scarlet poppy. marigold.
And spotted tiger-lily.
Sweet alyssum, grew therein,
And the pansy tender.
Great blush-roses pearly-pink.
On, my heart is sick to think
On the vanished splendor,
Foxgloye and four-o'clock
Caught the sunlight sifted
Through trumpet-tlower and virgins
bower
On the trellis lifted.
Lavender and bergamot
Strayed beyond the border,
And privet prim lowered over all,
Like some ancient warder.
oh, that garden did abound
In all rich completeness,
EeVen now. across the years.
Summers breeze unto me bears
Its scent Of sumer's sweetness.
Long ago that garden fair
From the earth departed,
Up and down I sought it long.
Half broken-hearted.
III, its very place was gone!
And one Knocked me: Never
More your eyes shall look upon
Its lost bloom, forever!"
But | know my garden now.
Somewhere, still is blooming;
And the kindly angels fit
In and out, and tend on it
Till my tardy coming.

HEALTH RESORTS FOR THE AGED

Speaking of the value of health re-
sorts for the aged, a writer in the
Journal of Physical Therapeutics
recommends that they be accessible.
For many elderly persons long jour
Uvya are act advisable, although they
often travel very we'll, if care is taken
to provide them with their usual
avoided Upon arriving at resort,
meals. Incessant change of air slim
ulates them, and they are often re-
freshed by long journeys. Sea voy-
ages are inadvisable, on account of
the risks of cold and exposure. The
climate should be temperate, and in
winter should afford a fair proportion
of warmth and sunshine. High winds,
dust and dry atmosphere are to be
several days of complete rest should
be taken to allow of the natural ad-
justment to change of climate and
surroundings. No sudden changes in
the diet should be made, although
moderate and cautious change is usu-
ally beneficial. Waters should not be
given in strong doses or in large guam
titles at first. Neither hot nor cold
baths are ever desirable for the old,
and sudden alterations of temperature
and mechanical shocks should be
avoided. Variations in temperature
should not exceed 20 degrees Fahren-
heit, and mechanical stimulation
should be gentle and continuous rather
than abrupt. The various forms of
assage-dOuche are often very useful,
as is also the immersion bath at a
temperature slightly below that of the
blood. The object of the bath treat
ment in later life is to regulate and
eQualize the circulation, to act upon
the nervous ceuters both as a soda
tive and stimulant, and to stimulate
the glandular and eliminative func-
tions, including those of the skin.

At Venice when anyone dies it is
said to be the custom to fix a placard
before the dead persons house, as well
as in adjacent streets, as a sort of pub
lie notice, stating his name, age, place
of birth and the Illness from which he
died affirming also that he received
the holy sacraments, died a good
Christian, and requesting the prayers
of the faithful.

One Of the most remarkable domi-

who conceived the idea. She is a re-

Whenever Queen Victoria happened
