The pair of looms restless and annoyed. Their
lake, set in a lonely valley which drained by
branch of the Upper Qua Davic, had hitherto seemed
them the perfection of solitude and For
three years. now, they had been coming to it every
spring with the first of the northern flight. But this
spring their solitude had been invaded. A pioneer,
squatter with buxom wife and several noisy children,
had and built cabin on the shore of the lake.

For the Children.

The mother who believes in begin ming the artistic education of her chil- dren at the earliest possible moment, may do great deal in that direction with the aid of the nursery walls. The sides of the room are first pa- pered with some plain neutral color. then divided into a frieze and panels. outlined with the darkest shade of the chosen neutral tint and upon these subdivisions are pasted brightly col ored and well-drawn figures of ani- mals and birds. which are to be ob- tained in the form of long sheets of wall paper, which may easily be cut out and affixed to the walls. Thus a young child may not only be taught much that is essential in regard to the proper placing of colors and their composition. but because of the ques- tions which they will be apt to ask about the animals and birds, will ac- quire great deal of valuable iAforma- tion about natural history.

OF MUCH VALUE TO SURGEONS
Stomach Telescope" Has Been Found Useful In Almost Endless Va
 riety of Ways.

The stomach telescope or gastro- scope, invented at the London hos pital, has proved to be of the greatest value In the diagnosis of stomach dis orders. An eminent surgeon recently referrSd in the highest terms to the advances lately made at that hospital in the early detection of diseases of the stomach by means of this instrll- ment. which will in the immediate fu- ture probably come to be part of the equipment of every up-to-date hos pital. The gastroscope now enables the physician or surgeon to actually see for himself the exact condition of the whole of the interior of the stom- ach. the slightest alteration, growth or other abnormality in the iiUing membrane being thus readily observed. To be able to do this is of the very greatest importance in suspected can cer of the stomach. where the only hope of cure lies in the eradication of the cancerous growth at the very earliest moment. This means that the increased use of the gastroscope will In the future save many lives that would other wise inevitably be lost through that disease.

Fine Fox Hunt Without Witnesses.

The East Essex hounds had a re- markable run recently A fox which they had hunted through the village of Bradwell swan the Blackwater. and the pack followed. but the depth of water and the dangerous banks prevented the field from crossing. They had to go for two miles along the bank until they reached bridge, and by the time they had crossed fox and pack had vanished After a search of three hours the hounds were found ten miles from the place where they had crossed the river whimpering round a barn at Chalkey Wood, beneath which the fox had gone to earth.
 MT. R. D. Hill. the master. called the hounds off and gave the fox a respite for the splendid run he had given "The best 50 minutes the East Essex have had this season..

 Leaving the hatters's. Orme turned back on State street. retracing his steps It was close to the dinner hour. and the character of the street crowds had changed. The shoppers had disappeared. Suburbanites were b. this time aboard their trains and homeward bound The street was thronged with hurrying clerks and shop girls, and the cars were jammed with thousands more, all of them thinking, no doubt, of the same two things-something to eat and relaxa- tion.
 What hive it was, this great street. And how scant the lives of the great majority! Working, eating, sleeping, marrying and given in mar riage, bearing children and dying was that all? But growing, too,' said Orme to himself. Growing, too :" Would this be the sum of his own life-that of a worker in the hive? It came to him with something of an inner pang that thus far his scheme of things had included little more He wondered why he was now fecog nizing this scantiness, this lack in his life.
 He came out of his reverie to find himself again at the Madison street corner Again he seemed to see that beautiful girl in the car, and to hear the music of her voice.
 How could he best set about to find her? She might be. like himself, visitor in the city. But there was the touring car. Well. she might have run in from one Of the suburbs He could think of no better plan than to call that evening on the Wallinghams and describe the unknown to Bessie and try to get her assistance.
