''But won't this money do more for

A flush came over Telly's face.

answered, turning her face away

Telly hid her face behind her hands,

The Word sMarmalade. >,

The word ''marmalade" is apparently
derived from the Portuguese marmelo,
''quince,'' which, again, is from mid
Latin malomellum, Greek melinelon,
'shoneyapple," or ''sweet APPLE" The
word is at least as old as the reign of
Henry VIII. The following sentence
occurs in letter from that monarch:
''He most heartily thanketh her good
ladyship for her marmarlo," which by
comparison of other letters was ap-
parently made of ounces.
Anne Basset, Lady Lisle's daughter,
gives the name ''codiniac" to her moth
er's dainty. Her letters giving the &C.
count of the presentation Of the said
marmalade to the king and relating
how he desired repetition of the
same as soon as might be have been
printed more than once-Pearson's

be true, for as we ascend the tempera-

an aggressive energy which leads and

tain sets of books, an error in which
would be cumulative and produce dis
astrous results further on, are locked
up and the clerks set to tasks less in
tricate and important in character.
Experience has taught those in charge
that the percentage of error increases
many fold during such climatic condi-
tons and that it is money in pocket
to yield to them. The same necessity
for cessation Of certain lines of work
during bad spells of weather is recog-
n1zed by the larger banking institu-

ductive Of emotional abnormalities no

So many of us act the fool while

Animals Which Rarely Drink.

Naturalists have discovered many
animals which seem to need no water
or which drink only at rare intervals.
There is certain breed Of gazelles
which never drink, and the llamas of
Patagonia live for years without tax
ing water. There is particular class
Of cattle near Losere, in France, that
rarely touches water, but in spite of
this fact these cattle give milk Of a
rich quality, from which excellent
cheese is made. Many naturalists have
the theory that hares do not drink or
that water is not necessity for them,
and that the dew on the grass is suf-
flcient for their needs.

March returned when one

Stockholm postmark and containing
numerous legal papers and lengthy
letter. He did not notice Frank when
he came in or even hear his greeting,

4 SdltlSdLe ILLS anu village
E7SS53 with green and spangled its
&.k4&A) meadows with daisies there
occurred two events of sacred import
to four young people.
The first was a wedding in the vii
lage church where the sweet voice of
Alice Page had oft been heard and
where now as bride she walked tim
idly to the altar.
Her pupils, aided by their parents
had turned the church into bower of
green, frightened by every flower that
grew in field or garden. Even the old
mill pond contributed it's share, and
the altar was white with lilies. Al
most every resident of the town was
present, and the aged miller sat in one
corner and watched with wistful eyes.
The Mason family, with Aunt Susan
and Albert, shared the front pew.
Two weeks later occurred the other
event, when the Gypsy steamed into
the Cape harbor and a select party
became the guests Of honor at Uncle
Terry's home. Long tables, decked
with flowers and loaded with the best
Aunt Lissy could prepare, stood under
the trees in front. The little porch
was bower Of ferns and clusters of
red bunch berries, and every man,
woman and child that dwelt on the
island was there.
Then, after Albert and Telly had
halted in the fern covered porch to
utter the simple but sacred words that
bound them for life, the gladstone
party gathered and made merry at the
tables.
The sun was low in the west ere
Telly kissed the tear wet faces Of
Uncle Terry and Aunt Lissy and the
Gypsy sailed away. Far to seward
the purple line Of coming night was
slowly creeping in, and side by side on
the little knoll where stood a low
white headstone those two sat and
watched her pass out Of their lives.
When only the wide ocean was visible
and the line Of shadow had crept up
to the wave washed rocks beneath
them, Uncle Terry arose.
WED best go in, Lissy," he said.
And she saw that she must lead him
for he was blinded with tears.

The effect of this announcement upon
