prospect and became quite girlish as she prepared for the unusual occasion. She clung to her husbands arm as they walked down the street and nestled close to him in the ear. The fifteen years of married life were forgotten The four little Atkinses, slumbering peacefully at home faded away for the first time in their short lives from their mothers thoughts. Once again lovers side.
 The first act of the play was finished. and Mrs Atkins still dreamed. Then a horrible thought forced Itself upon her. In her hurry to dress she had for gotten to give Tommy his medicine The boy had been sick, and the doctor had told her on n0 account to fail 10 give the usual dose at night This was enough. A crowd of thoughts of house hold cares surgcd upon her mind Was little Mary covered up or had sue thrown her covers off and the careless nurse failed to replace them: Had sine placed tue dough in q warm spot so that 1t would be light enough in the morning to bake. Had the butcher brought the meat for breakfast and the grocer sent the coffee! She could not remember anything pertaining to her home; she had been so Hurried in pre- pairing for the theater.
 Romance fled for the time being at least. Mrs. Atkins became once more the mother and the housewife Upon the plea of headache she whispered her wish to return home, and her hus- band, weary of the play and hungry for his cigar and q glance at the even ing paper willingly accompanied her
 The following afternoon, in pursu- ance of his plan. Mir Atkins hired q horse and buggy to take his wife out for drive. Mrs. Atkins, having been previously advised of the arrangement. had so provided for her household du- ties and the care of the children that No perturbation of mind could possi- bly, arise on those scores. With a buoyant heart she got into the bug, gy and they drove to the park Mrs Atkins felt that nothing could possibly mar the enjoyment of this occasion but she again reckoned without hel host Time, those fifteen years, haG changed 6se 1Sem . slender atll 'te q

 YOUR FEET.
Which One or Them Goes the Faster
 When You Wa1k9

Which of your feet walks the faster!
 This seems like queer question, doesn't 1t? But if you were ever lost In the woods and after toling through the brush over logs and around bram- ble thickets for a few hours came out at the very spot where you started you will readily believe that one of your legs Is better walker than the other.
 One day company of boys were playing curious game. One after another they were blindfolded, and then each of them started to see if he could walk from the back porch of a house across a lawn about fifty feet wide and through an open gate. AL though they were every one started in the right direction, not single boy succeeded in reaching the gate.
 You can all try this game There's lots of sport i'll it. If you have no gate to practice on set up two stakes about ten feet apart on a smooth lawn or In a court. Then stand sixty to seventy i've feet away and, blindfolded, try to walk between them.
 Try this experiment and find out which of your feet walks the faster.

The Passing
 Of Romance By w. Crawford Sherlock
CopWight, f30G, by BGdtrir Redle

"John I think it is just dreadful"
 What is that. Nary" Mir. Atkins laid down his paper with an ill sup pressed sigh and turned to his wife, who was busily sewing on the opposite side of the table
 There you are again, John," return ed Mrs. Atkins impatiently. Brown Ing like thunder cloud just because dared to interrupt your reading that evening paper. It's always the same thing. You have become. as settled in your ways as if you were sixty. Now. l think it is dreadful to let ourselves get that way when we've only been married fifteen years.'
 What would you suggest, dear?" asked her husband, feeling that the only possible hope he had of resuming his paper lay in mild methods. "I have been under the impress ion that we were rather model couple"
 "Why, we've lost all the romance of life," retorted his wife When we first met, and even after we were married, we used to take nice long walks and drives or go ito the theater often. Now we don't do any thing bat sit around in the evenings, you reading your paper and I sewing until bedtime. It is not right"
 Mir. Atkins did not reply neither did he resume his paper. His wife's re- marks had awakened memories of pleasant days of long ago, yet, pleas ant as those days had been the present life suited him better He loved his home. To him it was the oasis where he could come after strenuous day in the desert of business life. The quiet smoke and the evening paper after supper when the children were snug ill bed, were sources of keen enjoy ment. Being a just man, however, he began to consider the other side of the question. His wife had strenuous days, too, in the home, yet evenings brought no change to her, as it did to him. No wonder she yearned for the romance of former days. She must have some re- lief from the dull monotony of home life, and he resolved to see to it,
 Accordingly the next morning Mir Atkins purchased tickets for the night performance at the theater, Mrs. At kins just bubbled over with joy at the

Pnid Him-R Back.

Lily was not very old, as may be be- ueved when it is told that she one day ran after some birds ill the vain hope Albert. several years older, told her that she could not hope to catch the birds unless she put salt on their tails
 X few days after Albert was sailing his new kite and Lily was delightedly watching him. In some way the boy dropped the end of the kite string. and up, up went the kite. Lily, remember ing Albert's advice to her when the birds flew away, called out consoling- ly: Albert, I will tell you how to catch it. Put salt on it's tail.''

The Greek Die.

The gold or silver blank, carefully weighed and roughly forged. was heat ed to retlneSs and laid by tongs on the die. The top was then adjusted and the impression made by mighty blows with smiths hammer. As no collar was used and all register neglected the shape, but not the weight, of each coin varied. Parts of the device were often lost Sometimes the edge of the metal cracked. and very frequently the impression doubled. Laterson hinged adjustment of the dies was used. Greek dies were not made of steel but of hardened bronze They soon wore and needed continual restoration and deep ening. The die sculptors were there fore constantly at work on them. Care ful examinations shows that the dies were mostly cut with q wheel. like gems. not with Graving tools. This re
 touching of the matrices explains the numerous minute variations in dupli
 cates of the same coins. Very few are found exactly alike. On the other Land, it mus. not be supposed that these exquisite works of art are al ways much deiaced. The hoarding in
 stinct has concealed many that had jast left the mint and that preserve all l their pristine exquisite sharpness. One of the loveliest of the Syracusan coins was found under some lava In Sicily i us perfect as on the day 1t WAS stTuck.

 This arrangement lowers the center of gravity of the apparatus, and you may now place the cup on the point of the knife. Do this very carefully and tentatively to see that the cup is i'll cx~ net equilibrium.
 It is hardly necessary to say that the hand that holds the upright knife must be very steady one, or there may be smashup, but with quiet nerves and careful handling the feat may readily be accomplished.
 If you have any doubts on the sub- 1ect, drink the coffee first.

She has no social life. no after noon .'at home" \ writer says: Most of the ladies' calls are roof 10 roof vis- itationS. and very nimDle they are at getting over the low partition walls, even dragging a laIder up and down with them if there are high ones to be crossed. The reason is that the roofs. or, rather. terraces. are especially re- served for women folk. and men are not even allowed te go up except to do repairs, when tte ne!ghborAz.s houses are Guly warned

rather stout woman, and John had like wise developed into q very corpu!ent person.
 The seat of the buggy was too small for the full enjoyment of the trip. h. deed, it soon became simply torture to Mrs. Atkins as they jolteu over some rough places.
 John, can't stand this any longer" she groancu as the buggy went over q bowldef .::-il.- in the road on her hts bands side. and his weight pressed her against the side bar of tue vehicle so forclbly that she felt sure her hip was dislocatcd
 Its pretty rough" assented Nr. Al kins, who was equally as unconlorta- ble. 'Iet me slip back, and you sit on the edge of the seat Yhat'n give us more roon."
 This arrangement did fairly well for q time until Mrs. Atkins, sitting hoIi upright, without any support for hr'- back, began to feel the effects. of her strained position. Her husband, think ing only of the days of long ago, placed his disengaged arm around her waist to support her, but his wife decidedly objected.
 "It is broad daylight, John." she de murred. What would people think if they saw us driving in the park ill such a way? You forget we are old married people,
 That's what l thought you wanted to forget, Mary" observed her hus- band. rather relishing the turn affairs had taken
 "So I do." returned Mrs. Atkins Se- verely, but you know l never allowed you to put your arm around me when any one was present. l think We had better go home"
 As they turned into the road that led homeward they noticed mass of dark clouds that had gathered i'll the west. Mir. Atkins applied the whip freely. but the liveryman had selected a horse suitable for the use of a middle aged couple and all the efforts at fast driv- ing were in vain The big drops began to fall and then the storm broke ill all it's fury. They were q mile away from shelter, and Mrs. Atkins would not let her husband drive beneath the over hanging branches of q tree for fear of lightning The rubber laprobe and the side and back curtains had been for gotten by the man who harnessed up the team.

Why Deaf Mutc> Cannot Talk.

1t is said that deaf mutes owe their inability to talk not to any imperfec- tion in the organs of speech. but en- tirely to their deafness. Having never heard their own voices or the voices of others, they are not able to appreciate sounds or to adjust the organs proper ly for their articulation.
