delightful love letter from an unknown woman"
 Mrs. Henshaw began to see. The idea was silly, but after all if it would please this somewhat difficult creature, what harm was there in it? And Jack would only be bit astonished for the moment
 Meanwhile Jack Henshaw, blissfully ignorant of what was in store for him, proceeded quietly with his toilet
 Miss Pinkerton had got upon his nerves, and he rather regretted that his wife had thought 1t necessary to send her the invitation she had so persistently 'fshed" for ever since they had returned from their honey moon.
 Jack Henshaw was by no means dull, and his foot had hardly crossed the threshold of his breakfast-room before he scented something decided ly unusual in the manner of his wife and her guest.
 What in the name of all that's wonderful is the matter this morn ing?" he said.
 At that his wife, who had never drowned upon him since their mar riage, gave him a look which he found difficult to analyze, and which left him even more bewildered than before. Then she rose hurriedly from the table and went to the window, only presenting to her husbands aston ishsd gaze the spectacle of a pair of shoulders heaying convulsiyely.
 It's about letter." she sobbed.

 A piece of paper fluttered to the floor. and in a choking voice came the words:

THEIR FIRST
 QUARREL By JAMES HARRINGTON
Copyright. by Joseph B. Bowles.)

Miss Pinkerton always made point Of being down early for breakfast when she was a guest.
 On this occasion, however, Mrs. Henshaw was close upon her heels. She had been described by a fellow woman as 'ridiculously pretty and absurdly in love with her husband"
 Good morning, Miss Pinkerton Come and help me sort the letters, will you?"
 Miss Pinkerton was only too de- lighted,
 They seem to be nearly all for your husband,' she said. T don't want to be inquisitive, my dear, but do you read all the letters your husband re- ceives from his old sweethearts?"
 Young wives are proverbially sensi- tive, and in the face of this question Mrs. Henshaw was almost upset But she showed a smiling front, and opened one of her letters.
 This is from Kate-Mrs. Tracy She used to be my great chum. She writes such nice letters Just listen to this: My darling Grace, if you can tear yourself away from the partner of your joys and sorrows, who will, dare say, manage to exist without you for 2 bit. 1 should like you to come and lunch with me tomorrow Wednesday, at 1:30 If you come am prepared to overlook your com parative neglect of me since your mar riage If you don't. beware!

 Miss Pinkertons face softened.

COFFEE
Publish a Book About Coffee.

There has been much discussion as
to coffee and Postum lately, so much
in fact, that some Of the coffee i'm
porters and roasters have taken to
type to promote the sale Of their
wares and check if possible the rapid
growth Of the use Of Postum Food
Coffee.
In the coffee importers book a
chapter Is headed Coffee Is a Medi-
cine" and advocates its use as such.
Here is an admission of the truth,
most important to all interested.
Every physician knows, and every
thoughtful person should know, that
habitual use of any medicine" of the
drug-stimulant type Of coffee or
whisky quickly causes irritation Of
the tissues and organs stimulated and
finally sets up disease in the great
majority Of cases if persisted in. 1t
may show in any n Of the many or
gans of the body and in the great ma
jority Of cases can be directly traced
to coffee in a most u~nmistakab1e way
by leaving off the active irritant-
coffee-and using Postum Food
Coffee for a matter Of 10 days. If
the result Is relief from nervous trou-
BILE, dyspepsia, bowel complaint,
heart failure, weak eyes, or any other
malady set up by a poisoned nervous
system, you have your answer with
lhe accuracy Of a demonstration in
mathematics.
There's a reason" for Postum.

Weeping Brutes.

Travellers through the Syrian des-
ert have seer horses weep from
thirst, a mule has been seen to cry
from the pain of an injured foot, n
camels, it is said, shed tears IN
streams. A COW sold by it's mistress
who had tended it from calfhood
wept pitifully. A young soko ape
used to cry from vexation if Living
stone didn't nurse it in his arms
when it asked him to. Wounded apes
have died crying, and apes have wept
over their young ones slain by hunt
ers. A chimpanzee trained to carry
water jugs broke one, and fell a-cry-
ing, which proved sorrow, though it
wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, dis
covering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears of grief. A
giraffe which a huntsman's rifle had
injured began to cry when ap-
preached. Sea lions often weep over
the loss of their young. Gordon Cum
mings observed tears trickling down
the face of a dying elephant. And
even an orang-outang when deprived
of its mango was so vexed that 1t
took to weeping. There is little
doubt, therefore, that animals do cry
from grief or weep from pain or an
noyance.-Harper's Weekly.

A Very Long Stairway.

The Philadelphia City Hall con-
tains the highest continuous stairway
in the world, and tourists who have
boosted of their muscular ability in
climbing the stone steps Of the Bun
ker Hill Monument at Charlestown,
the Washington Monument or the
monument to General Brock near
Queenstown, Ontario, will tell their
friends of their feat Of ascending the
SOS steps which lead from the sew
enth floor of the City Hall to the
landing about the feet of William
PENIS statue. 1t extends from the
seventh to the sixteenth floor and
contains 59S steps Of iron, arranged
about a square central shaft, in
which runs an electric elevator. To
reach the tower stairway the climber
may mount 245 granite stairs in the
stairways at the northern end Of the
building, thus making a total climb
of TAB steps.-Philadelphia Press.

nWhat Shall / Do?"

That is the problem which ire
quently confronts everyone - espe-
cially parents with small children. A
slight illness treated at once often
saves a long period of sickness and
expense-sometimes prevents death.
The trouble is that SO few people can
think on the instant what treatment
to apply, even if they have the knowl-
edge necessary to recognize the dis
ease and know what simple remedies
are best. To meet this want at small
expense the Book Publishing House,
1874 Leonard street, New York City,
is sending postpaid a doctor book on
receipt of sixty cents in stamps. The
book Is illustrated, contains 59S
pages, explains symptoms, causes
and simple means Of overcoming Or
binary illnesses. 1t was written by
the eminent j. Hamilton Ayrea, A.
M, M. D. 1t is a volume which
should be in every household, as no
one can tell what moment he may re-
quire the knowledge it contains.

Three Bilingual Legislatures.

Under it's new constitution the
T~ransvaal is to have a bilingual Leg
islature. English or Dutch may be
spoken. The empire has had a cou-
pie of double-tongued Parliaments
for many years. In Canada an M. P.
can address the House in English or
French, and it was only the other day
that Mr.. Bourassa, who is a strong
opponent of Jingoism and vehemently
denounced the Boer war, attacked
Sir Wilfrid Laurier for replying in
English to a speech Of his in French.
In New Zealand the Maori or native
members have the right Of speaking
in their own language, their speeches
being translated sentence after SEN

sort. There are, however, hosts Of
others that might be used, for al
most everything fashionable is suf-
fciently soft to be tucked with sue

of a public abattoir. 1t is intended
to proceed as soon as possible with
buildings to accommodate about one
third of the business now carried on
in the town, and gradually to extend
the buildings as required. The es-

and the backs. The backs are tucked
for their full length, but the front

pleats at the shoulder at both front

There is a delightful feeling when
one runs for mile after mile along
those glorious tree-lined roads OF
France without a check or any draw
back. And what a contrast when one

with bad surface, badly drained, most
of them, and badly constructed, full
