CHAPTER XV-

John Jennings ran his hardest after
Sarah Eastbell. He ran hurriedly past
her, for in his minds eye he could only
see the lank poorly clad girl of two years
ago-he was even looking out for a strip
ed cotton dress the worse for wear and
tear He would have run fairly out of
sight of her, if female voice had not
called out John" and stopped him. Then
he looked back, open-mOuthed, and wait

with me too, John, that you will not

fore his eyes.

An empty cab passed at this moment,

The vehicle stopped, and Sarah and John
Jennings, the latter with evident reluc-
tance, got into II.
Now, what has happened2" said
Sarah, after the cabman had been told

The milk will hold the paint in sus-
pension, but the cement, being very
heavy, will sink to the bottom, so that
it becomes necessary to keep the mix

This feature of the stirring is the
only drawback to the paint, and as Its
efficiency depends upon administering
a good coating of cement it is not safe
to leave its application to untrust-

effect of such coating seems to be to
petrlfy the surface Of the wood. Whole
milk is better than buttermilk or skim
milk, as it contains more oil, and this
is the constituent which sets the ce-
ment. If mixed with water instead of
milk the wash rubs and soaks off read

of the cement from the bottom of the

BOY HAD PLENTY OF NERVE.
Was Not Discouraged by the Mad
Rush of Infuriated BuIIs,

Was Not Discouraged by the Mad
Rush of Infuriated Bulls.
There was an accident shortly after
the close of a novillada at the Plaza
Mexico that came near resulting In the
death of a few young hopefuls who
took 1t into their heads that they would
like to join In the national sport.
Shortly after the crowd left the ring
a half dozen young boys Of ages rang
ing from u to 10 years got down into
the bull ring to play bull fight. One
Of the number thought the game was
100 slow, so while the ring attendants
were busy about other work he entered
the pen where the. bulls were confined
and slyly let one of them into the
ring.
With mad rush the big black bull
entered the ring. One of the little
boys had been using his plush linen
cape for a capa in his plays with the
other boys and he was near the door
when the bull entered. Although one
Of the opposite gates was open the bull
made no effort to get away, but rushed
at the boy with the cape.
There was but one thing for the boy
to do, and he did it. With all the
knowledge which he had gained by
watching the matadors in the ring he
let the bull charge the cape. But his
arms were too short and the bull
struck him hard blow, knocking the
little fellow fully fifty feet and tearing
his shoulder with his horn. The angry
bull then turned his attention to the
red cape.
When the other boys saw the bull
charging them they fed for the fence
and climbed to safety, where they
watched the bull tearing the cape.
Finally 1t occurred to one Of the older
boys that by all charging for the bull
he might possibly be scared away
from the PROSTATE body of the injured
lad. So with clubs and boards they
drove the bull from the ring. They
gave their attention to the bull none
too quickly, for he had tired of paving
the cape and was making for the boy.
When the doctors got In their work
on the little fellow, whose name is
Angel MOrelos, they found that the
wound was the only thing of conse-
quence, and that although the boy was
senseless from the blow there was
nothing Of really dangerous nature to
fear from the accident as the hurt
was a flesh wound.-Mexican Herald

Housekeeping in France.

In a talk by Miss Maria Parloa
on French housekeeping, she said that
economy and patience were two strong
traits of the French housekeeper Many
Inconvenience and conditions un-
known to American housewives have
to be overcome but, notwithstanding
this, the French home is a model OF
neatness and comfort outside of, per-
haps, the one point of temperature,
for In France the question of fuel is
an important one. According to Miss
Parloa, French cookery is not compli-
Gated, as is generally supposed; for ex-
ample, the usual French breakfast con-
sists of a cup of coffee or chocolate
without cream and a slice of bread or
roll, and high seasonings Of food are
unknown, herbs and vegetables being
used in preference to spices. This
statement of the situation Is contrary
to the general belief, and certainly If
we accept 1t as literally true, the high
ly-seasoned dishes we obtain in Ameri-
can large cities must be originated by
others than Frenchmen.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is i
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient dislntec'
ant and purifier in nature, but few realiz'
it's value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more yoI
take of it the better: it is not drug al
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
an intestines and carries them out of the
system:
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth ano
further acts as a natural and eminentlS
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart :
Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed
and other harmless anti-septics in tablet
form or rather in the form of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will soon
tell in a much improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty
of it is, that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but on the
contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal says: IL ADVISE
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat; 1
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents box at drug stores, and
although in some sense a patent prepare
ton, yet I believe l get more and better
charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"
