The novel this month comes from
Frederic Reddale's popular pen. Its title is
" An Heir to Millions and it deals with a
fortune made in the California pold.h fields
and inherited by a New York clerk with
simple tastes. He begins In no novel way to
spend the money, but when he learns that it
is his through trickery he shows his mettle
by refusing to buy the silence of a rascal and
stands ready to take the consequences. In
his prosperity he has little neglected his
sweetheart of humber days, but things come
round her way in the end.

The above item insinuates broadly
that John Spears case of smallpox, or
varioloid, developed from his brothers
clothing. At the request of Mr.. Spear,
we will state the facts in the case.
In the first place George Spear died
Oct. II, 1902, three months before the
above item was published. After the
trunk was thoroughly fumigated, or
disinfected, by Pittsburg doctor, who
was warm friend of George Spear,
then 1t was given second fumigation
by the health officers OF Pittsburg. 1t
was then shipped to Reynoldsville by
express, delivered to Mr.. Spears resi-.
dence by the expressman, set in an un-
occupied room, opened by George En-.
gle, who took some important papers
out OF top of trunk and the trunk was
then closed and has not been opened
since. John Spear lives in house
several doors away from his father and
he did not even see his brothers trunk.

Teach Your Daughter to Work.

Any American girl is possibly, and
probably, going to need to fall back
upon her own resources some time.
The ups and downs of fortune are too
certain, too conspicuous, to need point
ing out. To bring up girl without
any training in useful occupation is
not simply improyident and foolish, but
it is wicked. Feminine character needs
independence to make and keep it sweet
and perfect. The darkest tragedies Of
life grow out Of the ignorance, helpless
ness and dependence of women. Cour-
age, training in work, independence Of
character and self-reliance-these, with
high ideals of womanhood, for inspsira-
ton, are what every girl needs. Only
through intelligent work can the high
est character be attained, and the
growth of character is the whole pur-
pose of this school which we call "the
world. February Woman's Home Com

"The Last Days of St. Pierre. 4"

AS the third number OF the public

will present the subject announced
above. This lecture is new, timely,
beautiful and very instructive. Less
than year ago Mt. Pelee erupted and
st. Pierre was almost annihilated. A
few days after this catastrophe Mr..
Robertson was near the scene preparing
illustrations for his lecture and these,
therefore, represent scenes and places
true to nature. Mr.. Roberson's repu-
tation, his ability to entertain and
interest, to picture life and people
brightly in detail, is we'll established.
