Deep in the heart Of each man and
woman lies some unfulflled ambition
toward which his efforts tend as a
goal With Myra Darling it was a
gold watch.
Her days We're passed behind a
counter where a variety Of neckwear
was displayed The remuneration was
small and served only to provide her
with home and the simplest OF
gowns. The watch for which her soul
hungered might have been the moon
or the Roc's egg. But more trying
than the priyations she endured was
the cheapness, the narrowness Of her
life so different from the gentle sur
roundings Of her girlhood.
1t was her birthday, her eighteenth
year and Sunday-a day free from the
aisle walkers espionage, happy com
bination which Myra enjoyed to the
full. A long afternoon In the crisp,
cool air of the park was a happy eli

a long line down the avenue. On the
side streets the shadows fell black
and ugly, causing few buildings to
stand out in bold relief. Suddenly
nash from a passing automobile struck
a small, round object that glittered
near the curbing. Myra bent over to
pick 1t up. Had some beneficent fairy
godmother thrown the gift at her feet?
1t was watch, and on her birthday!
She seized 1t rapturously and, looking
neither to the right nor left, fled up
the steps of her boarding house, never
pausing until she stood IN the hall room

gas and drew down the shade, then
breathlessly examined her new found
treasure. The small hunting case was

girl as she caressed 1t with her fingers.
Then, with woman's curiosity, she tried

using milk, mix the whole TO a rather

the dough with the knife, then spread
In two buttered tins and bake fifteen

with butter. Dispose on the first layer
canned apricots, cut in slices, and
little juice from the can and sprinkle
with sugar Then cover with the sec.
ond layer of cake and dispose on this
halves of apricots. Pour over little
sirup, sprinkle with sugar and serve
with the rest of the strip in the can.
Reheat the strip with sugar to taste
and let it cool before use. In the IL
lustration double cream, sweetened
and whipped firm, was piped upon the
apricots and around the cake. This
makes a richer and more expensive
dish and might be added to increase
the bulk IL large number were to
be served, but for ordinary use and
occasion the shortcake is satisfactory

Business Life.

Let us hop out of the peck measure
and take at least a half-bushel survey
of things, optimistically observes the
New York Mail. The morale OF our
business life is not to be measured by
the rascals who occasionally come to the
surface in 1t any more than the potency
of the Christian religion is to be judged
by the backsliders from it. Nine hun
dred and ninety nine men out OF every
1000 in our New York financial dis
trict' are strictly honest. Can anybody
there go out and lay his hand on a
knave this afternoon? The passage and
payment of myriads of checks every
hour, the safe delivery of millions OF
letters, the very eagerness with which
men rush to meet their obligations, all
attest to the honesty of the business
world, the high moral standards that
rule there. Our moral standards are
high, not low, to-day. The huge ele-
plant that nourishes a parasite is too
big and too honest to notice it or to
know It, even.

of athletics. What the greatest uni

schools recommend, 1t Is not for the
household to frown upon, without
good reason.
A man in love with music declined
to let his daughters learn to row, Lest
it should spoil the suppleness OF their
piano-hand. A man who valued grace
and symmetry stood squarely IN the
path of his sons through their child
hood, lest they should get broken nm
gers, or enlarged thumb-joipts from

might. stumble on the ice, they were
not permitted to learn t0rskase. In
consequence, though they were schol-
arly enough, they arrived at Adde'S

Athletics are here to stay. We owe
it to our juniors to give them gym
nastic training. in reason. Just as we
owe them the alphabet and all that
follows after A, B, c.
Our own children are not the only
ones to whom we owe the physical
training that comes from athletic
sport. The understood, ill-fed, paliid
children Of the tenement, those to
whom Fortune has been q step-dame
and whom Nature has lowered stingi-
ly, look to us for chance to improve
their condition. No more gratifying

social altruism which leads college

The most gratifying phase OF recent
athletics is seen in the development
of manly brotherhood which makes
no account of rich or poor, but vel

The hosannas with which ozone was
at first laden as the quintessence of life
and vitality are dying away in cries less
laudatory. Prof. E. Wiedemann, of Err

poisonous gases, and is the more danger

has suffered severely from nervous dis
turbances due to breathing ozone. These
lasted for one or two years. Moreover,
he always experiences discomfort after

for a long while with influence ma
