Memory Returns to the Buried Alive.
Helen Beauclair still gazed wonder

for the first time.

Beauclair-that is. to you, as you fell
as if dead before the altar of a church
in Galway, not five days ago.
''You say that l am Helen Beau

identify myself, either as Helen Beau
clair or as any one by any name, do

dreamy attention.

Sosia stepped softly across the room
to bureau, returned from it to the
bed, holding a small mirror in his
hand.

ed, holding the mirror above Helens
face.
Eyes; that is L.
"And can you give no name to your

None. recognize only that it is
a reflection of the face that gazes up
from my pillow, and that therefore it
must be my image; but can give it
no name, for have forgotten my name

memory" said Sosia, as he placed the
mirror upon the table. LET us return
to Helen Beauclair. She had scarcely
swallowed the pellet-which she had
carried concealed in the hollow handle
of her fan-when she fell as if dead.
All who were in the church were con-
vinced-that is, all except these two
believed that she was dead. The two
who did not believe that Helen Beau
clair had been smitten with sudden
death at the altar. we're a gentleman

Perfectly, and the narrative holds
my attention, though I cannot imagine
in what manner am interested in it, "
replied Helen, coldly.

= A Clever Surgeon.

II tell you," exclaimed the young
medical student, "our house surgeon is
a clever fellow
Flows that?" asked his chum.
''Well, man was brought in with a
crushed leg. The surgeon said it must
come off. But, by some means or 9TH
er, he cut off the wrong leg.''
"But don't call that clever"
"Wait bit. The surgeon said it
would be terrible for the poor fellow
to go about with no legs at all, so he
doctored up the crushed leg instead of
cutting that off, too; and now it is as
good as ever. An ordinary surgeon
would have left the fellow legless.

February is a month of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
1atitudes, February brings sudden
changes of temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees
in single night.
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole of North
America:
Ventilation.
The sleeping rooms should be well
ventilated, but so as to avoid direct
currents of air.
Ba1hiuT.
Those in vi rigorous health should take
a cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble
health should take brisk dry-towel-
rub every morning.
Diet.
The diet should be a generous one,
including meat, and occasionally fresh
vegetables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during
the day.
Clothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
Qe-ru-na.
When unavoidably exposed to cold or
wet, few doses of Peruna will avert
bad consequences.
Pfecaufiea.
When seized with chill, or even
slight chilliness, dose of Peruna
should be taken at once.

county and was the founder and principal
owner of the Peoples bank of this place.

county, his sisters were. and 1t was due
to their presence here that he came here

health and vigorous constitution, but on a
visit to Kansas City last New Years day

physicians of that city, who induced him
to let them treat him for a disease from
which he occasionally suffered slightly. The
physicians administered carbolic acid to
him in such quantities that Inflammation

been confined to his bed ever since until
