hour, during which Burnham was totally
forgotten sent the warm glow to Ingra-
hams face. Not until he encountered that
poor girl on the walk without did he learn
that Ned was even then within the doors
1t was improbable that Ned would reappear
so long she remained on watch for him.
Here was an opportunity to help them both
to carry her back to the mother whom
the poor child had left that she might live
nearer the roof that sheltered her lover, as
she believed Burnham to be- and, by APP
pealng to the better nature of the girl her
self, to induce her to promise to remain un-

unhappy chum no longer. Burnham was

With the doctor of medicine and the stu

Because of the dangerous character of the
disease caused by 1t. the typhus germ has
come In for larger share of the attention
of scientists than any other disease germ,
with the possible exception of the diphtheria
bacillus. AS the germ is usually found In
water and is taken into the body In this
medium. scientific students have sought
some method of treating the water in suoif
a way as to destroy the germs without rem

to be her brother stopped me on the street
two nights ago. If you've made up your
mind to break that off I'll help you all 1

said. Burnham in reply had begged him to

Politeness of Mexican Children.
From the Rural Home.


In Mexico a group of lads from seven
to twelve will meet and each boy will
decorously lift his hat, and salutations of
extreme courtesy will be exchanged and
then come the boyish chatter, the run and
the laughter, the same as anywhere.
Boys here treat their elders with respect.
An old man or woman is not the butt of
the youth of Mexico, rather for the old
people are reserved the shadiest seats
under the trees in the park. A Mexican
boy or girl on entering a room walks
around among the company, shaking
hands with all, and on leaving the room
does the same. Urbanity is taught in the
public schools as arithmetic is at home
There is no one jostled on the street; the
best seat in the horse car is promptly
given up to ladies, who never fail grace
fully to acknowledge the favor. I have
never seen Mexican gentlemen fail to
give his seat to a woman whether she
was richly or poorly dressed.
