There is no other season when good
medicine is SO much needed as in the

CHAPTER VIII.
Caryl Visits his Homo,

The bright sunlight OF the morning
did something toward dissipating the
depression that had been upon Ralph
Caryl the night before.
He hurried along the read that led
between the pond and the ocean, find
ing 1t in his heart to admire the sheen
of the ocean--the white sails that
stood out like things beautifully alive
in the shine of the sun and sky.
Il was a bit silly last night" he
thought, lighting a cigar as he strobe
on; but twas enough TO give fellow
a shock. / shan't be easy until have
been up home. Still, it is the most UNI
likely thing that they will know any
thing. However, I'll play the part of
dutiful son, and CO."
1t was toward sunset on that after
noon that he was riding in a country
stage toward village nestled among
the hills of Western Massachusetts,.
Carylville had not been intruded upon
by railroads, and the traveller was
forced to go a dozen miles by coach
before reaching the place.
AS he came nearer II seemed more
and more foolish that he should have
taken this journey.
What IL he had not seen his mother
and sister for two years? His domes-
tic affections were not so active as to
have made him miserable at the separ-
alton.
But he was conscious of an unusual
sensation when he saw the gray walls,

Joke on Professor vlrchow.

The late Prof. Virchow was blessed
with a lively sense of humor and en-.
joyed joke none the less though toio
against himself. One day, while lee
turing, he became provoked because
student could not tell the exact color
of preparation shown to him. "What
would you say was the color OF my
coat?" he asked somewhat sarcastlc'
ally. The garment had seen its best
days and the student replied Win
marked emphasis: ut seems to have
been blue" The professor laughed
heartily at the retort, and after
few more questions passed the stu

an unpleasant laugh. We'll, We won't

When the two women rose to retire.
late that night, as Ralph opened the
door for them, after his sister had
passed out, he put his hand on his
mothers arm and said:
II want to see you a moment. moth

said her son.
Where was your father? He was,
most Of the time, in Philadelphia. I
was there at the time, and he was very
assiduous in his attentions. You
know at one time my father refused
his suit, but your father was poor
then. Two or three months later he
came into this Caryl property, and
then we were married directly. I was

MONKEYS ARE POOR THRowEas

Aim with ACCURACY.

Travellers Claim They Are Unable to
Aim with Accuracy.
An explanation Of the origin Of
stories which attribute to monkeys
the power of throwing stones may be
found in the account of their habits
given by trained and competent OBJ
servers. Sir James Brooke says, with
reference to the orangs, that he never
observed the slightest attempt at de-
Tense, and the wood which sometimes
ratified about his ears was broken by
their weight, and not thrown, as
some persons represent"
Mr.. Wallace, also talking Of the
orang, declares that he has seen
them throw down branches when pur-
sued. 1T is true he does not throw
them at persons, but casts them down
vertically; for 1t is evident that a
bough cannot be thrown to any dis
lance from the top of lofty tree.
"In one case a female mias, on a
DURAN tree, kept up for at least ten
minutes continuous shower OF
branches, and of the heavy spined
fruits, as large as thirty-two Founders,
which most effectually kept US clear
OF the tree she was on. She could be
seen breaking them off and throwing
them down with every appearance OF
rage, uttering at intervals a loud,
pumping grunt, and evidently meaning
michief."
