some become weak from disease,
others by Over-exertion. If you
have palpitation. futtering, irreg-
ular pulse, short breath. oppressed

faint spells. you may know your
heart is weak. There is nothing

And then. second. simplicity and neat

THE GHOST AT THE FEAST.

What the Ensign Saw and What
Happened After Dinner.
In "The Story of My Life" by Au-
gustus Hare, is told the following
creepy story:
A regiment was passing through
Derbyshire on its way to fresh quar-
tiers in the north. The colonel, as
they stayed for the night in one of the
country towns, was invited to dine at
country house in the neighborhood
and to bring any one he liked with
him. Consequently he took with him
young ensign for whom he had a
great fancy. They arrived, and it was
a large party, but the lady Of the
house did not appear till just as they
were going in to dinner and when she
appeared was so strangely distract and
preOccupied that she scarcely attended
to anything that was said to her.
At dinner the colonel observed that
his young companion scarcely ever
took his eyes off the lady of the house,
staring at her in a way which seemed
at once rude and unaccountable. It
made him observe the lady herself.
and he saw that she seemed scarcely
to attend to anything said by her
neighbors on either side of her, but
rather seemed, in a manner quite I'M
accountable, to be listening to some
one or something behind her.
AS soon as dinner was over the
young ensign came to the colonel and
said: ooh, do take me away! I en-
treat you to take me away from this
place."
The colonel said: Indeed, your
conduct is so very extraordinary and
unpleasant that quite agree with you
that the best thing we can do Is to
go away" And he made the excuse
Of his young friend being i'll and or
dered their carriage.
When they had driven some distance
the colonel asked the ensign for an ex-
PLANTATION of his conduct He said that
he could not help it. During the whole
of dinner he had seen terrible black,
shadowy figure standing behind the
chair of the lady Of the house, and it
had seemed to whisper to her and she
to listen to 1t. He had scarcely told
this when a man on horseback rode
rapidly past the carriage, and the
colonel, recognizing one of the SER
wants of the house they had just left,
called out to know If anything was the
matter.
ooh, don't stop me, sir!" he shouted.
81 am going for the doctorl My lady
has Just cut her throat!"

Chinese Child's Toys.

Few, indeed would be their play
things If the Chinese children had to
depend on toy shops for them. says
Pearson's Weekly. As 1t is, the hawk
er Is a familiar sight in every Chinese
city, and when the children hear the
gong of toy seller it Is a signal for
rush to the front gates. At a call
these men slip the pole from their
shoulders and set their baskets on the
ground, and there is always q group
OF children ready to gather round
them.
A display of toys carried by one Of
these toy sellers includes many things
familiar besides kites, made In the
shape of birds, fish, serpents, dragons
and even inanimate objects, like bells
and houses, will have wind harps
fastened on to make them sing while
In the air. and will have eyes set loose
In their heads, so that when the wind
blows the eyes will turn around and
look as II they were winking at you.
His paraphernalia also includes a
lot of clay molds of different kinds of
animals or fruits or other familiar
objects, and for lone cash" you can
take your choice.
The seller then opens up the bottom
tray in his rear basket and shows a
bowl of yellow sweets set over a pan
of burning charcoal to keep them soft.
He rubs little flour in the molds to
keep the sweet from sticking, picks
up little of the soft substance, which
he works into cup shape In his fin
gers, and then draws it out, closing
up the hole. One end is drawn out
longer than the other and then broken
off. He places his lips to the broken
place and begins to blow, and the
lump slowly swells.
Then he claps the molds which you
have chosen round 1t, and gives hard
blow, breaks off the stem through
which he has been blowing, opens the
molds, dips little bamboo stick into
the soft sugar and touches it to the
side of the sweetmeat figure in the
mold, lifts it out and hands it to you
on the stick, all in much less time
than it takes to tell about it.

practically 2 feet high and 21a feet
above the floor; the slope given to
this part of the manger is a very de-
cided advantage, especially in placing
and removing buckets while the calf
is fastened in the stanchion; even
more slope than that indicated would
be well. The manger is partitioned
off every two feet; this should be the
minimum width, for while it is ample
room for the young calves, even more
room would be desirable for the rough
age of the older ones. The manager
partitions extend upward as far as the
curved line shown in the illustration.
but this is the most faulty feature of
the fixture, as it is possible for one
calf to reach over and suck another
ones ears If the meal and ensilage is
not promptly supplied after the milk
is consumed, though this rarely hap
pens. A more perfect manager divi-
sion will be made by boarding up from
the manger to the dotted line shown
between A B. The front or stanchion
part of the fixture is feet 615 inches
high and slopes away from the man
ger to increase it's capacity and give
the calf the benefit of a little more
spread in throwing the head up to
remove it from the open stanchion.
The stanchions are made of well-sea-
soned Inch elm and no breaks have
occurred thus far. The youngest calves
do not require more than five inches
space for the neck when confined. The
stanchion frames are bored with a
number of holes so that the movable
upright pieces can be shifted accord
ing to the size of the calf. AS calves
approach the yearling stage and their
horns interfere with the working of
the stanchion the movable piece may
be removed and the animal allowed to
go free while feeding. This system
has given the utmost satisfaction, per-
hitting calves to be fed individually
according to their needs and entirely
preventing the many bad habits so
frequently acquired by the pail fed
calf.

have seen 1t. no doubt, but 1t may
be that they do not know how 1t orig
mated. The old writer's say that 1t
came from Jupiter, the supreme deity
of the Romans, and this is the way
of It: Rhea, Jupiter's mother, soon
after he was born, gave him to the
daughters Of Melisseus, king of Erete,
as his nurses. They fed him with
milk from the goat Amalthea, an ami
NAL that was sometimes badly treated
by the infant god. One day. it is
said, in a fit of temper, he broke of
one Of Amalthea's horns and gave It
to his nurses. endowing 1t with the

IT Pays to BE Good.

The editor likes boys, they are often
abused unjustly And he often regrets
that he hasn't the power to emphasize
this fact: A boy can have better
time as a polite and well-behaved boy
than as a rough. Having passed
through the mill, we know. When we
were a boy, we did so many unneces-
sarily foolish things that we spend
most of our time now In blush1ng.
Here is one thing that boys can think
Of with profit: Good boys are always
admired. BY a good boy we do not
mean a sissy or mollycoddle. A
oood how can have a better time than
a boy whose parents are always Wor-
rvine about him. There is nothing
which promises a good time that
good boy may not do. The mean things
bows do always cause them trouble
And we firmly believe that boys are
Incoming better all the time. Yester-
day we witnessed boy ball game
without hearing an oath or rough
word. A boy should always bear MS
future in mind; he is rapidly becom-
ing a man. and it is uncomfortable
tn become an unsuccessful man.
Therefore, boys should remember tnat
good boys are the first to be onered
positions. Employers are always con-
tending with each other for the good
boys. But employers always say OF a
