FLAT JEWELLERS WAYS.
Watering the Fire Escape Garden
Pipe Etiquette.

Watering the Fire Escape Garden
-Pipe-SmOking Etiquette.
"What l don't understand" SAID
Mrs. Flatdweller. to New York Sun
man, sis the way some folks water the
plants they keep on the fire escape.
"Now, you see, we've got few plants
out Of your fire escape, and when
water them take care always not to
flood either the pots or the saucers.
There are people living under us, and
1t is not impossible that they might
have out ON their fire escape something
drying, or they might have plants there
that they don't want water to drip on.
If they have nothing there they don't
want water dripping down from above
anyway, because 1t would spatter from
the fire escape to the windows.
81 have lived under people, nice peo-
pie. too who seemed to forget entirely
that there was anybody living under
Them and who would simply pour
water on their plants and let 1t run
down in streams to spatter everywhere.
Don't you think it's queer about that?''
what gets me-" said Mr.. Flatdwell-
err "is how a man can sit at an open
window smoking a pipe and when he
gets through smoking knock the ashes
out Of his pipe on the window sill.
'There may be sparks in the pipe as
well as ashes, and both are liable tc
be blown into open windows below.
don't exactly see how men can be &C
thoughtless as to do this, but some mer
are. So, you see, women are not the onl,
thoughtless creatures. There arr
thoughtless men also.
"But don't pour water down thu
fire escapes" said Mrs. Flatdweller
land you don't knock ashes out Of tn,
window"
"True," said Mr.. F1atdweller, grow
ing philosophical now, "but If W,
should consult our neighbors and the.
would tell us frankly, dare say tina
we should discover that we do, with
out thinking, things that they don
like, just as they do some things tina
don't strike us pleasantly. 1t is 8
much easier for us to see the faults 0
others than 1t is for us to realize on
own"

CHAPTER VIII.

Latterly the doctor had taken to driv-
ing in his buggy, and when Maddy was
strong enough he took her with him one
day, himself adjusting the shawl which
grandma wrapped around her, and pull
ing little farther on the white sunbon-
net which shaded the sweet, pale face,
where the roses were just beginning to
bloom again. The doctor was very happy
that morning, and so, too, was Maddy,
talking to him upon the theme of which
she never tired, Guy Remington, Jessie,
and Aikenside.
ST suppose Mr.. Guy will be bringing
wife there some day when he finds one"
and leaning back in the buggy Maddy
heaved a little sigh, not at thoughts OF
Guy Remington's wife, but because she
began to feel tired, and thus gave vent
to her WEAKNESS.
The doctor, however, did not SO con-
strue it. For the first time when listen
ing to her as she talked of Guy, keen
throb of pain shot through his heart, q
something as near akin to jealousy as II
was possible for him to feel. But all
unused as he was to the workings of love,
he did not at that moment dream OF
| such an emotion in connestion with Made
line Clyde.
"Yes, Guy will undoubtedly marry"
| he began, just as over the top of the easy
| hill they were ascending horses heads
were visible, and the Aikenside carriage
| appeared In view. "There he Is now"
he exclaimed, adding quickly: mo;
there's only lady inside. 1t must be
Agnes"
1t was Agnes driving out alone, for the
sole object Of passing a place which had
a singular attraction for her, the old red
cottage in Honedale. She recognized the
doctor, and guessed whom he had with
him. Putting up her glass, she scrutin
lied the little figure bundled up In
shawls, while she smiled her sweetest
smile upon the doctor.
"Oh, what handsome lady! Who Il
she?" Maddy asked.
THAT was Jessie's mother, Mrs. Agnes
Remington" the doctor replied. "She'l
feel hattered with your compliment"
81 said what thought. She Is hand
some, beautiful, and so young, too. Wa
that a gold bracelet that flashed so OF
her arm? / wonder if III ever wear on
like that?"
would you like tor" the doctor asked
glancing at the small white wrist, aroun'
which the dark calico sleeve was closel,
buttoned.
"Y-e-s," came hesitatingly from Mad
DIV, who had strong passion for jewelry
II guess would, though grandpa classe
all such things with the pomps and vani
ties which l must renounce when l &c
to be good. I've seen only bit of pom
and vanity, but l must say that | lik
what have seen,. and wish to see more
It's very wicked, l know" she kept OF
as she met the queer expression Of tn

me so bad. You are Christian, / sur

In certain parish of Greater New
York the rector, while admonishing his
flock on Sunday last that the collection
basker receipts were steadily growing
less, took occasion to declare that seer
tair parishioners contribute according
to their means, but others give in keep
ing with their meanness." He added
that in measure such exhibitions OF
false pretense reminded him of the
story told of the pilgrim fathers upon
their arrival at Plymouth Rock, First
they fell upon their knees; then they
fell upon the aborigines."

old as mamma. Amt that funnyT You
know my first ma is dead. The doctor
tells us about you when he comes to
Aikenside. l wish he'd come oftener, for
l love him a bushel-don't you? Yours
respectfully,
JESSIE AGNES REMINGTON.
"P. ST. am going to tuck this in ju>-
for fun, right among the buds, where you
must look for it."
This note Maddy read and reread until
she knew it by heart, particularly the
part relating to Guy. Hitherto she had
not particularly liked her name, greatly
preferring that it should have been Eliza
Ann. or Sarah Jane; but the knowing
that Guy Remington fancied it made a
vast difference and did much toward re-
conciling her. She did not even notice
the clause, land the doctor, too" His
attentions and likings she took as mat
ter of course, so quietly and so con-
stantly had they been given. The day
was very long now which did not bring
him to the cottage; but she missed him
much as she would have missed her broth
er, if she had one, though her pulse al
ways quickened and her cheeks glowed
when she heard him at the gate. The
motive power did not lie deeper than a
great friendliness for one who had been
instrumental in saving her life. They had
talked over the matter of her examina
ton, the doctor blaming himself more
than was necessary for his ignorance a:
to what was required Of teacher; bu'
when she asked who was his proxy, hi
had again answered, evasively:
"A friend from Boston,"
| And this he did to shield Guy, who hi
knew was enshrined in the little maiden
heart as a paragon Of all excellence.

SOME WIVES ARE DIFFERENT.
Quiet cynicisnn, or Good Honest Row
Which Is the Better7

Most men," said the man OF expert
ence, think it must be awfully nice
to have a wife who takes things as
coolly as Dave Potter's wife takes
them; but others, more discriminate
ing, prefer a good honest row to her
style of quiet cynicism. The way she
behaved the other day when she
found a letter in Dawes pocket from
a girl is an example of her method.
81 don't see wrote this girl, how
on earth / can ever live without you
Dawes wife read that gush, and a
lot more just like it, without ever turn
ing hair.
well she said, quietly, that girl
is a fool. If she knew you as well as
I do she would be wondering how on
earth she could ever live with you
"And that, in the opinion of the dis
eliminating few, cuts whole lot
deeper than common, everyday rum
pus."

Admired statesman,s stature.

A German journalist visiting in
Washington, himself man Of stall
wart proportions, was rather inclined
to look with something like contempt
on the many understood statesmen he
saw in the national legislature. But
when Secretary Taft bore down upon
him he gasped in wonder They were
introduced and after a short chat the
secretary departed. Just as he disap-
peared from the Germans admiring
gaze the towering form of Congress

German looked at the New Hampshire

Statistics Show That the Greatest
Number of Deaths From Lung
Trouble Occur In Winter.

The Bureau Of Census has published
report presenting mortality statistics
for the United States for the five cal
endar years 1900 to 1904
AS shown in the table, tuberculosis
of the lungs and pneumonia were by
far the leading causes Of death. The
greatest number of deaths from lung
trouble occur during the winter
months. Colds are so prolific of lung
trouble that they should not be neg
lected. Persons with weak lungs
should be especially careful
A noted authority on lung trouble
advises that as soon as a cold is con-
tracted the following simple treatment
should be given. The ingredients can
be purchased from any prescription
druggist at small cost and easily pre-
pared in your own home. It is said to
be so effective that it will break up a
cold in twenty-four hours and cure any
cough that is durable.

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent phy-
stefan for an obstinate case OF &C.
zema, l resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies, and was so we'll pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence OF
the trouble.
IN July of this year a little boy
in cur family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
a mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment. and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent. In
about three weeks his hands AMI
arms healed up. So we have lots OF
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu
ticura' Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are n valuable
household standby, living as we do
