People of Both Sexes Seek to Evade
 Payment of Doctors Bills.

Every doctor has had unpleasant ex. periences of the economical minded person who takes advantage of cas- ual meeting at the dinner table or elsewhere to importune him for coun. sel as to his ailments. It is not al- ways easy to get rid of these pests. Abernethy was. as we know, equal to the occasion when a wealthy alder. man whom he met at friends house recited his catalogue of woes, ending up with the question: What should I take?' The reply was: Take ad. vice" A French doctor recently rid himself In an equally ingenious man. ner of a patient who sought to i'm pose on his good nature. He was ac- costed one afternoon on a crowded boulevard by lady notorious for this practice. She at once began to tell of her affiictions. making particular com plaint of pain in her hypogastric re- zion. To which the doctor gravely re- piled: My dear madam. I must ex- anime you.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.

Does your back ache? Do you get up lame fin the morning? Do you feel dull and tired? Does 1t hurt you to bend over, to lift anything, to get up from a chair? Do you have sud dea catches" or stitches of pain in the back? Does a dull, throbbing ache settle in the small of your back and bother you day and night? Do you sometimes feel that you simply cannot straighten up?
 If you do have backache, be care ful not to make the very common mistake of treating 1t as a muscular trouble. Do not rub the sore place with liniment. nor put on plasteTs, for the seat of the trouble is inside In the kidneys, which lie just be- heath the small of the back. on either tide of the spine.

Remarkable Funeral.

A remarkable funeral, among the mourners being 100 of the deceased's s descendants, S5 of whom were com paratively small children, many of them babies in arms, recently took place at Adamsville, York county, Pa, when Mrs. Rebecca Cooling Gadfelter, of that place. was laid to rest. There were 40 grandchildren and 45 great grandchildren. besides the sons and daughters of the deceased. of whom there were five, all the offspring of Mrs. Gadfelter's first husband, who died some years ago. The great num- Der of children. all of whom live in York county, attracted the attention of the mourners and friends and made such an impression that the minister, Rev. Adam Stump, dwelt particularly on their presence and the large family connections of the dead woman.

Some idea of the work done by sub marine divers in recovering treasure from sunken ships can be gotten from the following figures just published: From the steamship Malabar was re- covered more than s1,25o.00o: from the steamship Alphonso XII. s45O,- 900: from the steamship Hamilla Mitchell, s250. 900. and from the steam ship CarnatIc. s200.0o0. The complete list is long. but these figures from Popular Mechanics give an idea of the enormous value of the treasures which the greedy waves have swallowed and the inducement to invest large capi- tai. construct ingenious and expensive machinery. and run great risks in raising "watered" stock.

The presence in this country of the distinguished Dutch novelist, Maar- ten Martens. recalls the story of his election in the spring of 1895 as an honorary members of the Authors club of New York. When the name Joost Marius M Van der Poorten. Schwartz came to the attention of the membership committee there was a gasp of astonishment. Finally the late Bill Nye came to the rescue with the suggestion that the first half of the name should be acted on at once. but that the last half should be held. over until the autumn, when the weather would be cool.-The Book man.

Air Baths and Health.

Air baths, in the ancient sense Of the
word, should be revived by acclama-
ton, says an eminent physician. The
No-Hat Club of East Boston made
good beginning, and the conviction Of
experienced benefits caught on so quick
that bareheaded youngsters, in gangs
Of ten or twelve, can now be met in
every public park of that neighborhood.
Currents of air, bathing head, neck
and the inStepS of sandaled feet will do
more than Qulnine to prevent summer
fevers and sunstrOkes. Sunstrokes, so
miscalled, result from atmospheric heat
or stove heat, added to the effects Of
blood-heating dinner, and are so totally
unconnected with their supposed cause
that hatless nations knew them only
from hearsay. They were unknown to
the aborigines of our continent and had
no terrors for such men as Emperor
Hadrian, who Travelled bareheaded and
barearmed through the eighteen prov
inces of his world-empire and complain
ed only once, when the storms Of the
Syrian desert filled his eyes with sand
dust.
Get all the glorious sunshine and
health-giying air ycu can; saturate the
system with it, thrive, live long and be
healthy and happy.

Madame Midas
BY FerSus Hume

By FerSus Hume

"You coward" burst forth Kitty, ris-
ing from her seat, and crossing over to
him: ''you made me leave my home, and
now you neglect me, and have ceased to
love me-"
Kitty ran over to q desk near the win
dow, and took thence a small bottle of
white glass with two red bands round it.
She let the lid of the desk fall with a
bang, then crossed to Vandeloup, holding
the bottle up before him.
do you know what this is?" she asked,
in harsh voice.
1.-The poison | made in Ballarat." he
answered, coolly, blowing a wreath of
smoke; show did you get hold of it,"

said, coldly.

swered, gently, you should never betray
confdences-I left the desk in your
charge, and it should have been sacred to
you"
Listen to me-" she said, in a harsh
voice, with white face and flaming eyes |;

"As it pleases you" he replied simply.
Have you no love for me now?'
NO." he answered, coldly and brutally,
Il am tired of you"
She fell on her knees and clutched his
hand.
Dear CASTOR dear CASTOR :" she cried,
covering it with KISSES ''think how young
l am, how my life is unhappy, and for
you. | gave up everything for your sake
home, father and friendS-you will not

sacrificed for you? Oh, speak-speak :"
MY DEAR" said Vandeloup, gravely,
looking down at the kneeling figure with
the streaming eyes and clenched hands.
"as long as you choose to stay here | will
be your friend, but while you are with me
our lives will be as they have been good
by at present" touching her forehead cold
ly with his lips. Il will call tomorrow
afternoon TO see how you are, and | trust
CHS will be the last of such scenes"
So still the eight was. No moon as yet,
but an innumerable blaze of stars set like
diamonds in the dark blue sky. smoky
yellowsh haze hung over the city, but
down in the garden amid the flowers all
was cool and fragrant. The house was
quite dark, and a tall mulberry tree on
one side of it was black against the clear
sky. Suddenly the door opened, and a
figure came out and closed the door softly
after it. Down the path it came, and
standing in the middle of the garden rails
ed a white tear-stained face to the dark
sky. dog barked in the distance, and
then a fresh cold breeze came sweeping
through the trees and stirring the still
perfumes of the flowers. The figure threw
its hands out toward the house with a
gesture of despair, then gliding down the
path it went out of the gate and stole
quietly down the lonely street.

CHAPTER XXI


AS he drove rapidly into town Gaston's
thoughts were anything but pleasant. Not
that he was thinking about Kitty, for
he regarded the scene he had with her as
merely an outburst of hysterical passion,
and did not dream sh, would take any
serious step. At the hotel he picked up
the evening paper and glanced over it with
a yawn, when a name caught his eye
which he had frequently noticed before.
II say" he said to tall, fair young
fellow who had just entered, "who is this
Meddlechip the paper is full off,"
Don't you know" said the other, in
surprise; hes one of our richest men,
and very generous with his money"
"Ob, 1 see. buys popularity" replied
Vandeloup, coolly; show is it I've never
met him"
Hes been to China or Chili-or-
something commencing with a c." return
ed the young man, vaguely; che only
came back to Melbourne last week; you
are sure to meet him sooner or later"
Vandeloup was so occupied with his
own thoughts that he did not notice two
gentlemen who came in, taking seats a lit
tie distant from him. They were both
in evening dress and had apparently left
the opera in order to talk business, for
they kept conversing eagerly, and their
voices striking on Vandeloup's ear, he
glanced round at them and then relapsed
into his former inattentive position. Now,
however, though apparently absorbed in
his own thoughts, he was listening to ev-
cry word they said, for he had caught the
name of ''The Maybe Reef" quartz
mine, which had lately been hoated on
the market, the shares of which had run
up to pound and then, as bad reports
were circulated about it, dropped suddenly
to four shillings. Vandeloup recognized
one as Barraclough, well-known stock
broker, but the other was dark, wiry-
looking man of medium height, whom he
had never seen before.
81 tell you it's a good thing" said Bar
raclough, vehemently laying his hand on
the table; ''Tollerby is the manager, and
knows everything about it,
A noise disturbed Vandeloup, as a
crowd of gentlemen came thronging in.
Barty was among them, anu he thought he
would speak to him on the subject. Barty
was a clever little fellow, and seemed al
ways able to get money. Perhaps he
would be able to assist him. He stepped
out of the balcony into the light and
touched Barty on the shoulder as he stood
amid his friends.
"Hullo; It's you !" cried Barty, turning

Carlisle is pushing a bill for reduc-

claims that the present state board Of
examiners have formed a close trust
and will not let in dentists except on

fight to retain the bill as left by the

The road law, to put the control of
the roads of the state in the hands of
competent engineers, is yet hung up
in committee, the principal contention
appearing to be the desire OF some of
the committee to make it a county OPP
tional measure instead Of statewide.
AS soon as that point is decided the
bill will be put out onto the floor for
discussion and the attacks of those
who believe in the old fashioned way
of working the roads.
