A VACATION THAT
PAID THIS BOY.

The boy was II years old.
All that he knew of life was that
there were nine months of school with
a lot of play and no school.
This vacation was to be little diff
ferent, but The boy didn't know it.
Come on, son, need your help
said father one evening after his own
days work was done. Il want this
dirt carried up to our fat
The boy opened his mouth wide.
His father wanted him to carry bas-
kets of earth up three flights of steps,
There was a queer feeling of resent
ment all about inside Of him.
II can't carry dirt" he said.
Never too late to learn" said
father good naturedly. Here, you
take the lighter basket
Up the stairs went the boy. The
air was close and he got hot and
breathless.
Down he came again. The dirt had
to be dug up and shoveled into the
baskets. He grew hotter and the
sweat began to trickle down his back
'The boys are playing ball. I'm
going over" he said at last with i'm.
patience. II can't shovel dirt"
''All right, old boy" said father,
but I'm disappointed in you. had
expected to find you able to stick to
a thing. I'D counted on your help,
too. But It's all right. Go ahead and
play ball.
The boy washed his hands and went
over into the next yard. 1t was the
first time he ever remembered of feel
ng uncomfortable when playing ball.
Tonight it wasn't much much fun.
Pretty soon he left the boys and
went up stairs to his mother. BY and
by he came down, rolled up his
sleeves and went at the shoveling.
His father had planned a little gard
en- for the fire escape corner. It took
a lot of dirt.
The boy sweat and puffed He
blistered his hands. But he stuck.
At last the work was done. Father
and son washed themselves and got
ready for supper.
After supper when the father had
stretched himself out for a pleasant
hour with his newspaper the boy
came to him.
Il guess, father" he said with an
air half ashamed and yet of new man.
iness, Il guess it was good thing
for me to do something that didn',
want to do
Father held out his hand. The boy
grasped it in a strong grip.
''Im mighty glad l stuck, father"
said the boy.
Good for you, old chap" said the
father.

THERMOMETER'S ORIGIN.

According to Sir Samuel Wilkes,
Fahreheit constructed his thermom-
eter from one made many years be-
fore by Sir Isaac Newton. "In the
transactions of the Royal Society of
17O1 will be found the paper written
by Sir Isaac Newton, who was at that
time secretary to the society,"" says
Sir Samuel. Gle invented the instru.
ment for measuring the degre of heat
in fluids by taking a tube and filing
it with linseed oil. On this he mark
ed the freezing point as zero by put
ting the tube in ice, and in the same
way he marked the point when placed
in boiling water. The very awkward
scale which we now use is evidently
that of Newton; for, the decimal sys-
tenn not being then in use, he took
the number of twelve to denote the
heat of the body. This he found, and
made it the starting point of his
scale both upward and downward. 1t
was some time after this that. fer
convenience sake, the degrees were
divided in two, and thus the body
heat was twenty-four above zero and
the boiling point fifty-three. When,
many years afterwards, Fahrenheit
made his instrument and used mer-
curry instead of linseed oil, which was
far more convenient: he again divid-
ed these degrees into four; so if the
number be multiplied accordingly, we
have 212 for the boiling point and
ninety-six fer the body heat Fab
renheit, finding that he could get a
lower temperature than freezing.
made this point zero, which brought
the numer eight of Newton's to thirty
two Of Fahrc nheit. In this way the
thermometer was constructed. Awk
ward as the scale is, yet it is histori-
cally interesting as having been made
by our own great philosopher and
formed on the basis of the heat of
the human body."-Exchange

Returnjnu From the Grave.

Returning From the Grave.
Lord Genlis and Capt. Osred ad-
vanced. as they spoke the same in
quiry.
A kind of horror withered the faces
of both to a grim, corpse-like hue,
more fearful to behold than the wax
like pallor of the beautiful rigid face.
The consciousness that if the maid
en- was indeed dead. her death would
be recorded against them in their
souls and in tho world hereafter, had
not so much to do in making these two
men pale and affrighted as the Enowl-
edge that, ii she was forever beyond
recall to life, their far-reaching and
villainous plot must be hopeless for
success.
OF remorsc for the murder, if mur-
der had been done, there was far less
than of chagrin for want of success in
the plot they had carried SO far.
"Back. gentlemen" said the doctor,
in a quick, stern tone. more firm and
commanding than either Of the tow

"You shall be--you shall be. doctor,
in everything. ii you say there is
hope! Give us hope!" exclaimed Lord
Genlis, agitatedly.

moved than Lord Genlis, bit lis lip,
frowned, stepped aside and muttcred:
"There is no hope-she is dead.
Either this chalatan. Sosia. deceived

laugh.
