The Ditto Mark.

Members of d London firm had been
annoyed by the hardness of some OF
their employees in reporting for work.
Not long since a book vas provided, in
which the late corners were instructed
to write their excuses.
But the clerks proved lazy and orig
inal. At the top of a page a late one
would write, ''Train delayed or "Om.
nibus horse dead" as the case nigh,
be, n the rest fell into the habit OF
making ditto marks, and letting it 60
at that.
1t happened that a. man with a really
good excuse caused this system to be
dropped. One morning he appeared and
wrote in the book with great pride
Twins arrived at our house last
night"
The second late person that morning
was in a great hurry, and did not no
tice the innovation, but made his Gus,
tomary ditto marks, and the rest OF
the men on that page followed suit
The excuse book was abolished.

ty, so keenly desired by some, 20 much
disliked by others, arrived, and Aileen
had perforce to give up an afternoons
skating and help in the preparations, cut
ting up brown loaf and currant cake and
setting tea urns and cups and saucers IN
order on the long, narrow tables that ex-
tended down the school room.
At five o'clock. the guests of all condi~
tions and qualities began to arrive, some
on foot, some in carriages. At six O'Clock
the tea was in full swing, the whole
Beresford family and their friends acting
as walters and mattresses. At eight
o'clock the tables would be cleared and
the school children would give a concert
and the clergy make addresses. In the
opinion of the Ca~terhamites, the whole
proceedings were magnificent, and the day
was marked as a red-letter one.
The evening wore on. The Rector made
his usual speech, there We're songs and
recitations from children in all degrees
of nervousness and forwardness, there
were more speeches, there were piano
forte duets. The air grew close and
sitting. Moisture streamed down the
open windows, and Aileen gasped for
breath. The noise made her head ache,
and, rising quietly, she made her way out
of the room, unobserved, as she fancied.
The fresh, frosty air outside was delight
full. Several people stood round the
doorway, and she could distinguish Miss
Prior's voice amongst them. Suddenly a
tall form emerged from the lighted room.
1.-The Rector says you are to go home.
You look so tired" said Billy's voice,
and, taking her hand, he, drew 1t through
his arm, utterly disregarding her protests
and the bystanders, and tightening his
grasp as she tried to release herself. You
might just as well resign yourself to the
inevitable he said in a low tone, as they
left the school yard, Il sha'n't let you
CO."
Aileen was forced to submit, and in
deed, as he talked in his customary man
ner on all sorts of indifferent subjects,
and seemed to regard the little incident as
one of no Importance, she began to feel
rather ANNOYED with herself for having
made any fuss. Yet her heart was beat
inc frantically. and when she spoke her
voice, to her own ears, sounded Jerky
and broken. What was there in this
Young fellow to affect her so strangely!
she wondered.
1t was a dark, close night, with heavy
clouds overhead. They walked slowly up
the hill, talking at first of the tea party,
of the dance the Fentons were giving
the next week, but gradually a silence fell
between them.
They reached the crest Of the hill
shadowed by the fringe of trees that
marked the summit. 1t was very dark,
and far below them they could hear the
dulled, mufled beat of the water on the
shore. Circumstances were too strong
for Billy, and suddenly he flung his arm
round the slender figure.

Ask orientalist to Explain.

The American Society of Biblical Lit
erature and Exegesis, at its recent meet
ing in Philadelphia, passed a resolution
calling upon Prof. Hermann V. Hilprecht,
q professor at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, to make a public reply to the
charges laid against him of taking in
connection with some ancient tablets
which he claimed to have dug up at Nip
pur. 1t is charged that these tablets,
which are now in the museum of the
University of Pennsylvania, instead of
having been dug up by the professor, had
been bought by him in various cities of
the Orient and that most of them had
never been near Nippur. 1t is also de-
clared that the tablets were in the hands
of dealers some years prior to DR.. Hill
precht's alleged discoveries.

A man running on a railroad has to

A clear head is necessary to run a
locomotive or conduct a train. Even
a railroad mans appetite and digestion
are matters of Importance, as the clear

healthy appetite followed by the proper
digestion of food.

Burn. Cured by BaLins.

Baking a patient as a cure for burns
Is the new method now used in Roosevelt
hospital, New York City. This idea,
which is a new one, has proved very sue
~cessful, patients having been cured whose
bodies were scared nearly half over, while
heretofore the case has ben deemed fatal
when one-third Of the body was burned.
A sort of oven is formed by introducing
a la~tticework frame under the bed clothes
oyer the patients body to prevent the
bidding from coming in contact with the
skin. Into this oven the heat is intrs-
duced from a common gas stove by mems
