Of the Towers. And the parents who
thought, with a softened considera-
ton of all the circumstances that had
been against him, that daughter of
theirs might perhaps have that mis-
sion to fulfil, had certainly much less
to tolerate and forgive than Lord
Lindons had when he married his
daughter to Toms father. Therefore
everybody accepted the invitations
that were sent out, and for week
the house blazed with light and rang
with festive sounds, and life stirred
and quickened throughout the entire
neighborhood. The long interregnum
was over, and Tom had come into his
kingdom.
Happily an event of this kind ex-
ercises certain influence on all
minds. Perhaps Lady Car allowed
herself to be moved by her husband S
optimism, and was able with him to
believe that Tom might do very we'll
notwithstanding his youthful indis-
cretions; perhaps it was only that
mild and indulgent despair which had
taken possession of her Utmost soul,
and which made it evident that moth
ing that could be done by her would
affect her boy, and that all she was
now good for was to tolerate and for
give; but at least she presided over
all the rejoicings with apparent pleas
ure, sparing no fatigue, thinking of
everything, resuming to wonderful
extent the more active habits of for
mer years. And Beaufort played to
perfection the role of the pere noble,
the dignif1ed, disinterested paternal
guardian giving his support and coun-
tenance to the novice without ever
interfering with his pretensions as the
real master of the house. Indeed,
Beaufort, with his fastidious superior
ity, had much greater influence over
Tom than his mother had, and over
awed him as no one else was capable
of doing; so that everything went
well during mis- great era, and the
young Laird appeared to the best adj
vantage, making those parents of
daughters say to each other that
really there was nothing that May or
Beatrice need object to. Such birds
of prey as hung about the horizon
even in these moral regions perhaps
sharpened their beaks-but that was
out of sight. And the only one of the
party who did not wear a guise of
happiness was Janet, about whom
there hung nervous haze of sup
pressed feeling altogether alien to her
character and which no one could
fathom. Perhaps it would have been
more comprehensive had any one
heard the occasional word which now
and then dropped from Tom, and
which he repeated with a mischievous
boys pleasure in the trouble he could
create. "Are you going on the pony
to-day?" he would ask in Lady Cars
presence, with significant look and
laugh. Are you off for the Easton
road?" No one but Janet knew what
he meant. He threw these stones at
her out of the very height of his own
triumph. And Janet dared scarcely
go out, even in the protection of her
mothers company, lest she should see
Charlie Blackmore turning reproacn-
full eyes upon her. He did pass the
carriage on one occasion and took off
his hat, but the salutation was so uni
versal that no one noted who the in
dividual was, and Janet alone saw
the look. Yet even for Janet nothing
disagreeable happened during these
eight days.

Teeth at Two Weeks old.

Two weeks of age and with two
fully developed teeth is the unique
phenomenon of the babe of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H. King. of 1890 Thirtieth

were normal. but the teeth develoued

The moving picture diversion was
for time one of the cheapest, the

perverted things soon found out its
evil possibilities, the easy means OF
intoxicating a knowledge of vice
through the most suggestive of the
senses. When five plays, given with

of the profession as corrupting and
indecent, would it not be well for
both the clergy. and indeed all good,
honest citizens, to take notice?

Electric Cream Separator.

1t is now possible to separate cream
from milk by the employment of cleo
tricity, the process requiring much
less time than with the costly cream
separators now in use. The process
consists in passing an electric current
through the milk to be treated, the
passage of the current causing the
separation of the cream from the
milk. The apparatus necessary Is
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton, the invention of Kansas City
man. The milk is poured into the
funnel at the top and drops through
the tub onto the inclined chutes, ar
ranged one above the other. Current
is supplied from adjacent storage bat
teries. On its passage down the
chutes the milk will alternately be

In caribou hunting as a rule the
open countries are travelled on fine
warm days and the greenwoods dur
ing stormy spells, Fry's Magazine
says. 1t Is the unanimous opinion OF
those who have followed the sport for
many years that a lengthy trip
should be planned to insure satisfac-

In the country at the head waters
of the Tobique and Nepisiguit rivers,
New Brunswick. several weeks or a
month are desirable If you want a
record head. Should, however. one be
hampered for time. a steady hunt re-
gardless of weather conditions is kept
up. This Is not only the hardest kind
of work, but is not satisfactory. Many

brought it down.

Sun Cooking.

Sun cooking-roasting and boiling
by sunlight instead Of by coal or gas
has been going on for 300 years.
There are sun stoves that roast a sir.
loin or boil a soup to perfection.
They are only used, however, by scien.
lists. A sun stove consists mainly of
a mirror-a spherical mirror-on a
Joint. There is also a reflector. The
place for pot or plate is SO situated
that the mirrors rays can be focused
on 1t accurately.
A German, Baron Tcherhausen, was
the first sun cook. He began in 1852
to boil water, and in 1858 he had very
good success in boiling eggs. Sir Johu
Herschel and Button are other famous
names associated with sun cooking.
In California various sun cooks have
boiled a gallon of water in twenty
minutes, roasted meat in two hours
and poached eggs in fifteen minutes,
quite as good time as the ordinary fire
makes.
An odd thing about meat roasted by
sun rays is that 1t has an unpleasant,
taste. This is avoided by the insertion
of a plate Of yellow glass between the
meat and mirror. In all solar stoves
the sheet Of yellow glass figures.-Lon

The specialists must be divided into

months-Old Baby.
Binks had sent Mrs. Binks on a
visit to her mother, and he was on
the job with the six-months-old baby.
In the night the baby woke and
cried. Binks looked at his watch
time. He said to himself:
Let him yell. He's a healthy little
Indian, and he must be disciplined
Then Binks tried to sleep.
But Binks couldn't sleep. Every cry
grew more pathetic and abused and
heartsick and discouraged. Each cry
said more and more plainly: Il have
no friends or relatives. I'm unhappy
and uncomfortable and var some one
TO be good to me-"
But Binks, the stubborn and stiff

stabbed him clear through.

bit-who knows?) Binks' watch an

went to the icebox for the food, heat

sobbing infant son.
/ But the infant son could not take
Tthe bottle. He choked on the first swal-
low, then put up his hands and re-
newed his wordless plea to the big
man he could see dimly through his
tears.
Then that father said, Discipline be
hanged!" Maybe, though, 1t wasn't

sound is right, anyway. He took up
that baby. and the baby stuck to his
daddy like fly paper. Further at
temDts to lay him down were futile.
He wanted no food, but heart food, no
milk but that of human kindness. So
the big man laid that baby beside him

correspondent. "Englishmen always
seem to put all they possibly can into
an address,"
Well, the address of an EnglishmaD
is a very important thing, almost as
important as his pedigree. A good
address, especially in London, is more
highly regarded than square meals,
the latter often being sacrificed for
the former. This great truth has been
recognized by a woman who wrote to
an Australian newspaper:
There are only certain parts OF
London in which one can live and be
recognized. 1t is divided into dis
t~ricts, the most important of which
bears the address London, w.
THE next district in Importance is
S. w. (southwest). This includes
Chelsea, where the artists congregate,
and South Kensington, where upper
middle-class fashionable folks live.
IN. w. (%northwest) includes Ham
stead, st. Johns Wood, Belsize Park
Zone of the prettiest and healthiest
parts of London. where wealthy city
llSu luC, III IN IHdHy large resi-
dences there can boast beautiful gar
dens and lawns, such as are unob-
tainable in n other part of Lon
don.
The next district, and enc OF the
most closely populated, is w. G. (west
%central). 1t is a world of boarding
houses, and, being the most conven.
lent part of London for railway sta
tons, places of amusement and sight
seeing generally, it is peopled with
the most cosmopolitan set to be found
anywhere in the world.
One of the puzzles of his address
is that if you write w. c. after it the
recipient will probably not bother to
call, but if you write in such and
such a place and add Russell Square
that makes it all right. Russell
Square is recognized, but west cen.
trail is not.
"On meeting new people the first
thing they invariably ask is your ad-
dress: If you are wearing a nice frock
and say you live w. they immediate
ly ask you to dinner, but if you say
west central the nice frock carries
no weight. They simply say, How
very odd,' and talk about the weather.
