A Touch of Nature.

He was the worst BOY in school, she
was the teacher. She was angered 10y
his stubbonness; he was defiant She
took him TO the hall for punishment
Angrily she administered the penalty
and-then somehow a great wave of
pity for the boy swept over her She
looked at the worn coat of the little
fellow. She thought of the frail body
deprived of nourlshing food. She
thought Of the hard and loveless home
and of the starved soul of the poor
kid.
Tears sprang to the teachers eyes
as the boy waited for further punish
ment Then he saw the tears. His
own eyes grew moist and overflowed.
Thinking of how the poor boy had no
chance, in an impulse of love she put
her arms around the boy, and they
cried together.
That is religion.
She and the boy both found it.-Mor-

HENRY CAVENDISH.

A Recluse, He Lived Far From tho
Maddiag Crowd.
Henry Cayeudish, the famous natural
philosopher aud chemist, was recluse
who astonished England.
A son of Lord Charles Cavendish
and nephew of the third Duke Of
Devonshire, possessed of enormous
wealth, the subject of universal ad-
miration because Of his scientific at
taiuments, he preferred the solitude
of his study and the company of his
books to the pleasures society could
offer him.
For many years he lived at Hamp-
stead in large, roomy house, attended
by a number Of female servants. who,
however, were strictly enjoined to keep
out of his sight. If domestic by the
merest chance came into the presence
of Cavendish she was instantly dis
missed.
Every morning the philosopher would
leave n note on the hall table naming
what he wanted for dinner. No one
saw him place the note there; but, ac-
cuStomoi to the strange customs of
the establishment, the meal would be
prepared, and only the remains of the
repast siguIied the p.esence of the
master of the house.
When Cavendish died in 1910 he left
behind him nearly u million pounds
sterling. besides lasting reputation as

to the public while they flast, and the
new cards issued only to purchasers
who express their preferences for such.
The present postal cards which are
now No. and No. 3 Mckinley cards,
will remain indefinitely.
The card which is known as issue
No. 4, is 3l4 inches wide by 5la inches
long. the same size as the old Mchin'
ley card. The color Is llght blue tlnt,
printed i'll bronze blue ink.
