At that moment the grocer's wag-
on, driven by Joe Haskins, came by
the old block. Joe was exceedingly
popular with the village youth and

attention was called to it.
In the discharge of his duties, Joe
visited nearly every house in the vii
lage and he made the most of his op-
portunity. BY nightfall every one
knew that young Billy Underwood had
proposed to Marcia Goodwin.
At about noon there began at the
old block a most remarkable revival
of business, which continued to in
crease until the close of the day.
It seemed as if every man in the
village, and a few women, found a
call at williams shop necessary, and
while many forgot the pretext on
which they came, each one did not
fail to tender their congratulations.
With Marcia it was the same. ex-
cept that her visitors were of femin-
inc persuasion, and therefore more
nersistent with inquiries into detail.
All of which was met with denials
by both of them, first with surprise
then indignation, and finally down
right anger. This last finally gave
way to sublime resignation, and both
were heartily glad when the hour of
closing came.

The Size and Movements of G,ao,eu.

The Size and Movements of Glaciers.
Think of sections bigger than Rhode
Island being torn from a glacier and
swept off in the ocean, to be ferried
5000 miles on the bosom of the Lab
rador current until the heated waters
of the gulf stream cause them to van
lsh from human ken! Then can one
form some idea of the immensely Of
the ice area discharged from the
Greenland seas each year. Thousands
Of miles of valley are constantly empty
ing their contents into the bays and
iords Of the north waters whence the
tides hurry the detachments south
ward to cumber the wide Atlantic.
The disposition of icebergs to turn
turtle is one of their most dangerous
propensities. It arises from several
causes. When they start out from
Greenland their bottoms are heavy
with the detritus gathered in their
glacial period, and this drops off at in
tervals as they move south, causing
their center Of gravity to change and
the berg to assume new positions. The
scientific theory of the formation Of the
vast submarine plateaus which extend
from Labrador to Fundy and are com.
monty known as the Grand Banks OF
Newfoundland, is that they are the
products of the deposits of bergs dur
ing countless ages.-Leslies Monthly,

The Effect of Altitude on the Sys-
tem.-Most overworked, debilftated,
anemic individuals sleep better on COM
ing to higher altitude, while the full
blooded, high-strung, nervous person
sleeps better at sea-level. In high, dry
climates like Colorado there Is in
creased elimination of water and waste
solid products by the skin and lungs.
The skin is more active at warm, dry
temperatures, while the Lungs do more
work when it Is cold. 1t is probable
that If there are influences In high
attitudes which tend to diminish elm
nation, this can be easily overcome
by drinking more water and bathing
more frequently. Convalescence after
illness in general is apt to be more
prompt at high attitudes because of
the greater possibility of being in the
open air and sunshine. People who
rarely go from a low to a higher altI.
tude are more easily fatigued.
