Must Be Natural Affinity.

A curious correlation between the
ages of husband and wife appears to
have been established in the course
Of the recent investigation Of the in
heritance Of physical qualities by
Prof. Karl Pearson. Prof. Pearson's
results, published in Biometrika, may
be briefly summarized: These data
have shown that there is very def
mite correlation between the degrees
of longevity Of husband and wife.
Things take place as if men destined
to live to old age, while short-lived
men generally marry shortlived WON.
en-. There has been an. Unconscious
selection from the point Of view OF
general vitality. This follows clearly
from the study Of the age. of decease
of great number Of couples. taken
from graveyard Inscriptions" The in.
fluence of grief upon the longevity OF
the surviving partner is not taken
into account.

IN AN OLD TRUNK.
Baby Finds a Bottle Of Carbolio Acid
and Drinks II.

and Drinks 1t.
While the mother was unpacklng
an old trunk a little IS months old
baby got hold Of bottle of carbolic
acid while playing on the floor and
his stomach was so badly burned 1t
was feared he would not live for he
could not eat ordinary foods. The
mother says in telling of the case:
at was all two doctors could do to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing
would lay on his stomach. Finally
took him into the country and tried
new milk and that was no better for
him. His Grandma finally suggested
Grape-Nuts and am thankful l adopt
ed the food for he commenced to get
better right away and would not eat
anything else. He commenced to get
fleshy and his cheeks like red roses
and now he is entirely well.
81 took him to Matamoras on visit
and every place we went to stay to
eat he called for Grape-Nuts and
would have to explain how he came
to call for 1t as it was his main food.
1.-THE names Of the physicians who
attended the baby are DR.. Eddy of
this town and DR.. Geo. Gale Of New
port, O., and any one can write to
me or to them and learn what Grape
Nuts food will do for children and
grown-ups too" Name given by

In flash it all came to her. Hugh
Cameron, who played Maltravers, was
the only person who left the stage.
He made his exit from the very win
dow out of which she had been look
ing. All of the other characters were
supposed to enter from the castle on
the opposite side of the stage.
It was an easy matter to chalk the
legend while she was having her
scene with Miss Carleton. Then when
he fed from the consequence of his
murderous assault he could rub out
the chalk marks.
Only the black satin dress had
been our Of his calculations. When
he had grappled with Lady Gwen
dolin, the chalk from his imperfectly
cleaned fingers had left their mark.
On the old white dress they had not
been noticeable.
All through the last act the incl
dent kept running through her head.
She liked Cameron very much, bet
ter than anyone else in the company.
He had been so kind to her in many
little ways, so deferential, she could
not believe that he had sought to
Insult her. She could not even I'm
agine him doing such thing even
for a joke. He was not that sort
of a man.
1t hurt her to think that he had a
hand in this joke. Just as the curtain
fell at the close of the act she turned
to Cameron.
81 should like to speak to yor
after you have changed" she said StL>-
ply.
He bowed, but it was with no easy
heart that he awaited her coming on
the dark stage.
She preached the subject directly.
"Mr. Cameron" she demanded, why
do you annoy me by chalking such
absurd sentiments underneath the
window in the second act?"
How did you know?" he countered'
"You left chalk marks on Miss Car
leton's black dress this evening"" she
explained. Now I want to know
why you played such an absurd
prank?"
He colored like guilty school
boy.

President Cleveland Was Prepared for

When Grover Cleveland was elected

every democrat in the country by this
timer"
"All but my substitute, think" re-
plied the president. II am looking
for him every minute. He made a
tight bargain and got all the money
I had when he went to the civil war.
I never saw him again until l was
elected mayor Of Buffalo. He ambled
into my office there soon after was
elected. I told him I supposed he
was killed in battle, but he said he
had pulled out of the war with his
life. was hard up and wanted $40.

$40. Now l am president, and be-
tween callers I have been watching

him." And the president drew from
a capacious pocket a crumpled ten
dollar bill and tossed 1t on the table
in front of him.-New York Herald.
