A woman went into a chemists in
London recently and asked for some ar

at a shop of this kind.

Proposals to pierce the Isthmus of
Panama are almost as old as its dis
covery. Cortez had a route surveyed
and from the days of the explorer
down to our time the idea has been
kept alive. The discovery Of gold in
California caused a new demand for a
great waterway, but it resulted only in
the building of a railroad. The sue
cessful accomplishment of the Suez
canal construction in 1868 called atten-
ton anew to the American project, and,
finally, in 1879, Count Ferdinand de
Lesseps made an appeal to the several
nations to send delegates to a congress

Observation-Disclosures have all
along commended that appendicitis ID
an Inflammation of the appendix-the
result Of a digestive disturbance or of
lowerd vitality of the intestinal tract.
Careful Investigations covering a per.
iod of many months have led to the
discovery that most of the cases have
resulted from the too free use of cold
drinks and foods. Hence these arti-
cles are tabooed. Cold liquid, as It
runs through the intestinal tract, has
the effect of sending the blood from
the intestines, the result being that
the vitality of the tract is greatly low
cred. If this practice is continued,
the appendix soon becomes infamed
and a case Of appendicitis results.

Cure for Headache.-An excellent
and never failing cure for nervous
headache is the simple act OF walking
backward. Ten minutes is as long
as is usually necessary to promenade.
1t sometimes, however, requires more
than ten minutes to walk at all, If
one Is very nervous" But it Is not
understood that it is necessary to
walk a chalkline. Any kind Of walk
ing will do, provided it is backward.
1t Is well to get a long, narrow room,
where the windows are high, and
walk very slowly, placing first the ball
of the foot N the floor, and then the
heel. Besides curing the headache,
this exercise promotes a graceful car
rage.

Y186y months or hard study with
S8S visions of a yachting trip in
July and August, when perhaps in
some manner Alice Page could be in
duced to come. with his mother and
sisters to chaperon her and her broth
er and some other friends to complete
the party.
He had the Gypsy put in first class
shape and all her staterooms refur-
nished, and one in particular. which he
intended Alice should occupy, uphol-
stored in blue. So well formed were
bis plans that he timed the start so as
to utilize the July moon for the first
ten days and mapped out trip taking
in all the Maine coast, spending week
at Bar Harbor, and then run I'D as
far as Nova Scotia.
He had described all the charms of
this trip to Alice and extended to her
the most urgent invitation. He had
obtained her brothers promise to SUD-
plement it and also to make one of the
party, and he had persuaded his sister
Blanch to aid him with his mother but
he had met discoura cement on all sides.
In the first place, Alice wrote it was
doubtful if she could go. 1t would be
delightful outing and one she would
enjoy, but it would not be right to
leave Aunt Susan alone for so long, and
then, as her school did not close until
the last of June, she would have no
time to get ready.
To cap the climax of Franks discom-
future, when July came his mother an
nounced that she had decided to 20 to
the mountains for the summer.
Its no use, Bert" he said to his
friend one evening. Il wanted your
sister to go to Maine with US and moth
er and the girls and a few more to
make party, but it's no go. 1 can't
induce your sister to join us, and it's
no use if she would, for mother has
determined to go to the mountains, and
that settles it. If you and have any

AS might De expected, the subject OF
all this gossip heard none of it until
the storm had reached alarming pro-
portions. Mrs Mears was the first
one to tell the extent of the gossip.
''They tell me- said that worthy
matron to Alice one Sunday after
church, that you amt likely to teach
school after this summer
"And why not?' answered Alice.
Don't give satisfaction?
ooh, faint that. I guess you can
imagine the reason, and I want to be
the first to. congratulate you. They
tell me he's worth a pile O money, an
he's sartinly well favored so far as
looks goes; bet, then, handsome is as
handsome does was allus my motto''
Alice colored.
do you mean Mr.. Mason, my broth
ers friend?' she said seriously.
why, who else would I mean? I've
heard that you was to be married this
fall and that he is worth million.
They say he told Amos Curtis he was,
though I don't believe that But any
way, Amos says he gave him SIS lest
fer usin' his old boat that want worth
splittin' up fer kindlin'sv
Its not true. not one word of it,
exclaimed Alice angrily, land if you
care for me one bit I wish you would
tell everybody I said so.''
She waited to hear no more, nor for
Aunt Susan, who had fingered to chat
with some one, but walked home hur-
riedly, as if to hide herself. Once in
the silent house she began to cool off.
Il won't believe be told Amos he was
worth Million" she said to herself.
HE isn't so stupid as that. But
am afraid the silly boy did give him
SIS, which has started all this gossip"
When Aunt Susan came in she fairly
bounced upon her. why haven't you
told me, aunt1e about all this gossip
that's going the rounds regarding Mr..
Mason and myself? I know you have
heard it."
"Its all nonsense, Alice,'' answered
that lady rather sharply, land you are
foolish to listen to 'em. I've heard it.,
of course, but so long as it's no discred-
it to you, why, let it 60 into one ear and
out tother, same as do! Folks must
talk in this town, an what they're say
in bout you ought to make you feel
proud-that young fellow like him
and worth money wanted to come
courtin', and he certainly showed he
did or I'm no judge
He's got Aunt Susan on his side as
well az Bert" Alice thought, "and I
am glad kept him at Assistance, just
to pay him for being SO silly with his
money"
Late that afternoon Alice called upon
Abby Miles and talked about every
thing except the subject she most want
ed to talk about, and then as Abby
usually had Sunday evening caller,
Alice came home at dusk. Never be-
fore had the house seemed so lone
some, and as she sat on the porch and
tried to talk with Aunt Susan her
thoughts were elsewhere.
When the lights across the valley,
which served as curfew by saying bed
time when they went out, had disap-
peared, she came in and, seating her
self in the dark at the piano, softly
played the chords and hummed the
words of a song.
It'll! come out all right" said Aunt
Susan to herself, and she waited till
Alice called to her to come in and go to
bed
