Fifteen Per Cent. Die.

tuberculosis In its many phases
was thoroughly discussed at the ninth
annual meeting Of the American
Therapeutic Society. Expert physi-
clans told of the proper treatment Of
the dreaded disease In Its varying
stages.
The first paper, upon the treatment
of tuberculosis, was read by DR.. Law
renee F. Flick, who has charge of the
White Haven sanitarium.
"The restoration Of the afflicted in
dividual to his normal capacity and
the stimulation of his intrinsic disease
fighting qualities constitute In a
broad sense the modern treatment Of
tuberculosis. declared DR.. Flick.
GAS rule the tubercle bacillus is
not very virulent to human beings.
The tendency to recover Is so great
that the majority who suffer i'm
plantation will recover without devel-
oping noticeable symptoms. Seventy
per cent. Of all persons living in civil
lied communities get implantation Of
tuberculosis. Only fifteen per cent.
Of those living in civilized communi-
ties die of the disease. Without
mixed infection tuberculosis would
never kill"
w. Sohler Bryant, Of New York,
declared that from the ear come the
first signs Of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Where Forests Die Hard.

That is the one astounding thing
in this whole region Of northern
Maine, the regenerative power of the
forest. Men with axes have been
hacking at the giants of the wood up
here for two centuries and more. The
goliaths have been laid low, indeed,
yet for one tree that stood on given
space along the hillsides and in the
valleys Of Number One century ago
five stand to-day.
They are giants no more, 1t is true.
but they are splendid trees, and just
as the Lilliputians might prevail
where Gulliver was bound, SO these
trees hold their own against man and
even press in on his clearings and
wipe them out. There must be many
more lumbermen with axes along the
Macwahoe, the Moluncus and the
Mattawamkeag before this beautiful
region will fail of its forest.-Boston

In Walso.

Away up In the gently undulating
land that rolls northward from the
Cheviots to the Lammermuir and
Pentland Hills lies the little town of
Walso. Indeed, 1t lies upon the
downward slope of Cheviot, and the
clean streets, now grassgrown and ST.
lent, have many grim tale to tell
of the warm blood trickling down
their cutters into the glancing river,
IL stones could only speak. Walso
is town with past history such as
few can boast of--a history full of
brave deeds and fierce horror, for 1t
stood in the very midst of border
warfare when the Cheviot burns rap
blood and the great silent hills
echoed the ring of steel.
The women in Walso, as also
am led to understand-in other parts
Of the world, must necessarily be of
superior intellect to their spouses, as
they find time not only to manage
their own affairs, but also those of
every oth.r woman in and around
their native town. One worthy wo-
man there was, however, who by ex-
porience had learned discretion in it's
closet sense. This was Mrs. Arm
strong, who let her lodgings in the
High street. Her dodgers were most
ly of the same habits and inclina-
tions-in fact, they were all trout
fishermen.
But now it happened that the busy
tongues had really something tan
gible to thresh out between them,
for Mrs. Armstrong had let lodgings
to stranger much more interesting
than an obtrusive. Indifferent fisher

The Owls Wisdom.

"In hollow tree, during my va.
cation, l found two young owls" said
a student. II also found in the same
nest two eggs. Puzzled that the
mother owl should have abandoned
her setting ere its completion, laid
the matter before my farmer host.
"The farmer told me that country
people know we'll that the owl, after
Matching half her brood, leaves the
other eggs to be hatched by the new
born birds. These young are warm
blooded, they are helpless to leave
the nest, and in nine cases out of ten
they complete the hatch as well as
the mother would have done. I'd

CHAPTER VIII.
IauranCe Lowe.

The old man entered in his usual
slow and deliberate manner. The
Colonel advanced to meet him with
outstretched hand and hearty word
of greeting.
"Ah, Laurance, am glad to see
you! There's life in the old dogs
yet, although the young ones are
growing so big around us."
Lowe answered never word. He
took the outstretched hand in his
thin, strong fingers, and bowed as he
pressed it with a quaint, old-fash-
ioned courtesy
In the meantime the two brothers
had met.
"Halloo, Charlie!"
"Well, Win"
They were close to Lena when thew
shook hands, and she heard the char
acteristic greeting. She also saw
the long, slow glance of their eyes as
each noted the work of the last three
years In the development, bodily and
mental, of the others forces.

fore her she saw with feminine ra-
pidity of thought that there was not
such remarkable resemblance be-
tween the two brothers as she had
at first imagined. What likeness
there was lay rather in manner and
carriage than in the features. She
saw now that Charlie was a much
bigger man than his brother; also
that he was fairer and with blue
eyes, while Vineyards were gray and
quick in their glance. In one, the
slow, sure characteristics Of a Saxon
predominated in the other, the
quicker organization of Celt.
Lena's comparisons were at thi,
moment lterrupted by her father.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


who came up ana snook hands with
Charles Mistley, dispensing with an
Introduction.
"Ah," he said genially, you
should have been soldier instead of
sailor! You are too big a fellow
to be cramped up in torpedo boat.

every man should be red-coat. and
perhaps we're right, after all.
know that every time l hear the roll
Of the drum or the tread of trained
feet look down for the gold lace on
my arm and think that If l had an
other life to live I would try SOL
dlering again"
Winyard Mistley had turned away
and across the room his eyes met
Laurance loves calm gaze. Mrs.
Wright had been watching them In
anticipation of that moment, and now
she hastened to introduce them form
ally.
It was not until after the ladies
had left the room that the conversa-
ton turned upon the subject dearest
to the colonel's heart; and then Mist
ley learned with some surprise that
upon this, as upon every other ques-
tion that had been raised, Laurance
Lowe knew something. This tongue
tied, callous Engllshman was one of
the few who from the enervating Sc
curity of peaceful Britain could look
afar with watchful eyes and note the
rising of that tiny cloud in the East,
which at times seems about to rend
the heavens with the fury of its
lightning and then again will dwindle
away to mere vapor, floating over the
blue ether of time. VINEYARD, being
of a colder, less enthusiastic nature
than the colonel, was more correct
in his reading of the public opinion
In England upon matters Indian and
colonial. He was we'll aware that a
fresh and daring encroachment upon
the frontier of the Indian Empire
would rivet the gaze OF every Eng
lishman upon the sullen movements
of the aggressor for the whole space
of q week, provided some fresh eX-
element, some thrilling murder In
Paris, or a shipwreck attended with
graphic details did not usurp its place
in the public interest. But beyond
that he was too wise to expect any
thing. He recognized, therefore,
that Laurance Lowe was more learn
ed on this question than the majority
Of Englishmen. But in this, as In
everything, VINEYARD found that
strange lack of enthusiasm and even
of interest. He found that loves
observations, keen and far-sighted as
they were, confined themselves to the
more Indifferent criticism of look
er-on whose life or happiness could
in no way be affected by future
events.
Thus 1t came about that Laurance
Lowe, who was no favorite with
young men, added that evening to
his scanty circle of admirers. The at
traction also was naturally in some
degrees mutual, as such friendships
invariably are. Lowe was prejudiced
greatly in Vineyards favor from the
mere fact that he had proved such
valuable assistant to Colonel Wright
and also as the brother Of Charles
Mistley.
Lena also had that evening cast a
little seed upon the broad earth by
the mere singing of plaintive song.
it had frllen upon spot where other
seeds had taken root, and grew in
strength already; but within that lit
tie germ lay power and life to out
grow them all in strength and height
and splendor.
