The interior Of the Earth.

The University of Jena has just
awarded the prize for the best essay on
the condition OF the interior Of the
earth. NJ. Theme, who won the Univer-
sity OF Jena's prize, did 1t with the
following theory:
The mean density of the earth is
known to be more than five times that
OF water. AS the outer layers of the
crust nave a very feeble d~ensity-wa-
ter, i; rocks, AN average OF PITT fol-
lows that the interior nus have a den
sity of about 77-10. which is hat OF
iron. Again, there is enough accurate
information about the rightly OF the
earth to make IL fairly certain that this
is slightly greater h steel. M Theme
calculates that the crust Of the earth
is about $50 miles thick, though most OF
the best authorities are inclined TO place
II at about 80 miles. IL his figures be
correct, there must be inside the crust
an exceedingly dense and rigid core,
which he calls b~arysphere.

The Foraivina Wife.

know a woman who has just come


1 know a woman who has just come
nome from q long visit TO Europe.
She didn't go IN the visit for pleas
ure; her young daughter was i'll and
she took her daughter abroad to save
her life.
When my friend came home from
abroad she noticed something peculiar
about the way her friends greeted her.
They seemed to be sorry for her some
way, though hone OF them said any
thing in so many words.
one day my friend oun out what
1t was that made them sorry.
Her husband had had a foolish little
affair with a foolish little woman and
there had been q little scandal about
My friend loves her husband and he
loves her. So she went to him and
said: Dear, you are worried; o
are IN trouble; YOU think Pm going to
nm something out and be angry with
YOU.
II have found it out and l am o
angry with you. / am sorry for you.
l want you TO know that j am not only
your wife, l am the best friend, the
most loyal. the most unselish and the
truest friend you have in the world. l
VIII stand by o through this thing.
| know that you ave not been really
faithless TO me: you have just been
foolish: you are heartsick over the
whole thing now; so am / Come, let's
be heartsick together"
And the husband Of my friend looked
at her as IL he heard some one speak
ing from an open grave, and he told
his wife the whole truth, the foolish,
silly, miserable truth, and she talked
it all over with him and comforted him
and encouraged him and laughed at
him and teased him, and together they
faced the whole thing through-and
now you couldn't lure that man away
from his wife with any siren who ever
sang, or any Salome who ever dreamed
a dream OF dancing.
| wonder If IL wasn't worth while?

ONE OF THE MEssINA HEROES
Marvellous Rescue Work Don by Stei-
iario, a Crutch Bearing Cripple.

A Messina Survivor In McClure's for May.
A young man, whom | shall never
forget, a cripple, with only one leg,
clambering with a crutch among the
ruins, saved scores of people. Untir-
ingly he searched among the wreckage,
he brought back to us everything he
could find; he took bits of chocolate out
of his mouth TO put into the mouths,
forever open, Of the crying children.
A marvel, in truth. was the fore
thought of this man. Where did he
unearth a crate of apples? He hid them,
he defended them from the violence OF
the greedy; and through the night he
vent among h huts, distributing quar-
ters Of apple 10 Zach one of us in his
turn, with calculating parsimony, with
implaCable justice. | shall remember
him as long rs ] live, that fragment
Of Il man among the fragments OF a
city. He explored the ruined city in
every direction, 10 find a way OF es-
cape to open a road for us. We could
see him hanging like "a mountain goat
over the edge of frightful precipices.
At night he never rested, unless IL were
to make a pillow of himself for those
who did not know where TO lay their
heads, amid the mire. the blood and the
ruin. The name of this hero is Saliva
tore Stellario. What became of him
when the anguished fight for the pres
ervation of life had ceased, and we saw
the fire close at hand, after a night
spent under the rain, dreadful scourge,
amid continual earthquakes, the horrors
of darkness, cold, fear. the ever fainter
moaning OF the hurt? They old me
he sought safety in the direction of the
railway. Perhaps | shall see him again.

patton. In my opinion constipation
is responsible for most ailments. There
are thirty-two feet of human bowels,
which is really a sewer pipe. When this
pipe becomes clogged. the whole system
becomes poisoned, causing biliousness, in
digestion and impure blood. which often
produces rheumatism and kidney all
ments. No who suffers with con
stipation or any liver complaint can ex-
pect e have IA clear complexion, or enjoy
good health.
Munyon's Paw-Psw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weakening; they
enrich the blood instead of impoverish-
ing it; they enable the stomach TO get
all the nourishment from food that is
put into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no dope,
they are soothing, healing and stimu-
lating. They school the bowels TO act
without physic. Price % cents.

Who Cooked?

From Youths Companion.
A party OF young men were camping,
and TO avert annoying questions they
made II a rule that the one who asked a
question he could not answer himself had
to do the cooking.
One evening, while sitting around the
fire, one OF the boys asked, why is II
that a ground squirrel never leaves any
dirt at the mouth OF it's burrowf"
They all guessed and missed. So he was
asked to answer il himself.
why he said, because they always
begin to dig at the other end OF the hole
But" one asked, "how does he get TO
the other end OF the hole"
Well war the reply, that's your ques-
ton"

For summer dwellings furniture of
willow and rattan has a favored place
at the present moment. Almost every
day sees something new added to ths
already large assortment of charming
designs in these appropriate woven
furnishings. Willow, either in the nat
ural state or stained 10 tone with color
schemes, makes ideal summer furni-
ture, light and strong and cool look

here, and a novel idea is to have them
tied on, quite obviously, with heavy
cords, the cords being attached TO the
cushions and fastened around the legs
and backs Of the chairs. Rustic fur
niture made of wood in the rough with
the bark left on liz suitable furnishing
for a bungalow in the woods. Cushions
for the rustic furniture, to be appro-
