 "I have been watching the stars to- night. as those who love have done in all ages. The steadfast quiet of the stars, their constancy in the heavens and their fidelity
 ''Oh. what nonsensew she exclaimed and then turned again to the letter, whence she read considerable pas sage dealing with stars and love in a very fanciful and pretty fashion. "She wasn't much of girl to write news" said Muriel. Il don't see any thing personal But. Arthur, she loved you. That is the point. And you gave her the right to say these things to you"
 "How do you know that she said them to me?' he asked.

 Now. to state the case truly, Murie had been inclined to doubt that the let ters were Graden's. although she had found them in his desk. Indeed she had hoped that they were not. for she could have had all the advantage o1 the display of jealousy just as wei l without q real cause, and she was pos itively alarmed when his manner con vinced her that the letters really had | been addressed to him.

How the Earth Changes.

How does one generation of men succeed another? The fathers are not swept away In body to make room
 for the children. but one by one the old drop off and the young come on
 until a day is reached when none of those remain that once were here. How does some form of human speech be- come extinct? About 100 years ago an old lady named Dolly Dentreath died in Cornwall She could speak the Cornish language. After her death
 there was nobody that could. Thus quietly did the living Cornish language become dead language. And in a like unobtrusive manner have been wrought most of the new becomings which
 have changed and are changing the earth.-.John Fiske in Harper's.

Close To Border Line of Life and Death. Neuralgia of Heart, Weak Stomach. Dr. Niles Heart Cure
 Cured Her.

Neuralgia of the heart causes sudden death., It Is an acute affection of the car diac nerve, just as neuralgia is of the nerves of the face, usually, and sciatica is of the nerve trunk of the thigh. One of its most frequent symptoms is Arrangement of the stomach and liver. Strengthen the hearts action and enrich the blood with Dr. Miles Heart Cure; tone up the nerves with Restor- alive Nervine and you will soon be cured.
 Nervous exhaustion and liver trouble so affected my wife's health that she was greatly run down; neuralgia of the heart set in and tor long time she was very close to the bor- der line of life and death. She was attended by two good physicians, who did all they could for her, but in spite of everything she grew worse right along. One day saw an advertisement of Dr. Miles Nervine and New Heart Cure, and the doctors explana- tion of the effects of nervous trouble upon the heart seemed so logical that decided to give the remedies trial. We now know that the stomach and liver troubles were part of the heart weakness. She improved won. derfully at once. Her appetite picked up, she slept we'll at night and the pain around her heart rapidly disappeared. Thanks to Dr. Miles Heart Cure in few weeks she was able to be up and attend to her household duties, and in few months every sign of nervous and heart trouble had vanished" JAMES B.

M AS to what it is that makes a IN certain man fall in love with SSs@S a certain woman all philOsO- s&&&2J phers who have diligently considered the subject are agreed. The reason why he does it, the reason why he chooses that particular woman and not another. is something that no human being will ever know.
 Backed by this authority. am will ing to admit that I do not know why Arthur Graden chose Muriel Ballan- tyne. I am afraid, however, that do know why Muriel chose him. It was because he was the greatest matrimo- nial catch in those parts.
 Now, because we cared so much for him we were particularly sorry that he should become infatuated with Muriel Rallantyne. Really we did not want him to marry anybody. A man rarely views his friends approach to the altar of matrimony with pleasurable feel ings. However. we had become recon ciled to the idea that Arthur would marry Constance Hamlin, who was one of the best and sweetest women that ever blessed the world by coming into it.
 But Muriel was different girl from Constance. She was, to be frank about it. pretty, tinted shell. with

of diseases, the science is still largely
experimental, and there is room for d
host of discoveries. Perhaps by the
time this century is ended there will be
a lymph or an antitoxin or some sort
of treatment for every i'll the flesh is
heir to, SO that few vaccinations and
other treatments will guarantee immu'
