An hour later the man in the stors opened the door cautiously What you seddin' by de stebs all day be- cause?" he asked
 I'm waitin' for them two pair O mittens at ffteen." Peggy replied. cheerfully.
 Half an hour later he opened the door tiny crack and peered forth, to learn the cause of the suspension of traffic. Peggy was discoursing with Mrs. Mayo. who lived up the street ways" "I hope you ain't goin' in there to buy nothin', Mis- Mayo" she was saying, with conviction. That mans a reglar pig! What you think he wants for them little mittens of the twinses' size? Twenty cents.-an' Levys got 'em for teni-an' me want in to get two pair, an maybe a lot O other things, too."
 The woman's foot was on the step, but she took it down and went away.
 The door opened Come in an see what you would puy,' said the mer- chant.
 Peggy secured the mittens, although he groaned over them; also she bought comforter for MT. Ratferty at price which made the shopkeeper tear his hair and insist that he was ruined. A pair of gloves for Mrs. Rafferty brought things to crisis, and caused Peggy to sit on the steps for another half hour, at the end of which time the merchant begged her to take her purchases, including the gloves, and go away before he was bankrupted.
 She accepted the invitation, adding candy for the twins and a much need ed handkerchief for each of them to her list, and departed. radiant.
 With her bundles in her arms, the joy of conquest was upon her, and Peggy was determined to go farther afield and see a little of the world First of all. she meant to ride in an elevator. This had long been one of her dearest ambitions, but hitherto the opportunity to gratify it had not pre- sented itself.
 Big office buildings were not far to seek Peggy found an ever-so-many- storied one within the first block. equipped with a bewildering set of elevators that sped up and down in it's marble hallway. In a moment Peggy was in an elevator, back in the corner behind all the people. futteringly anx- ious to know what it would feel like
 "Goodness-mercy- -gracious," was her first ecstatic remark, all to her self.
 Half way up she murmured, regret fully. 'I wisht the twins was here"

The Ancient Hour.

The earlier Egyptians divided the day and night each into twelve hours. a custom adopted by the Jews or Greeks, probably from the Babyloni- ans. The day is said to have first been divided into hours from B. c. 293, when a sun dial was erected in the temple of Quirinus. at Rome. Previous to the invention of the water clocks, B. c. 15S, the time was called at Rome by public criers. In early England one sxpedient for measuring time was by wax candles, three inches burning an hour The first perfect mechanical clock was not made until about A. D. 125O. Day began at sunrise among most of the northern nations, at sum- set among the Athenians and Jews, and at midnight among the Romans as with us.

Coming down she hugged herself with rapt sigh. Don't it make you feel funny inside?" she asked herself. Let no one imagine that Peggy meant to give up, all at once. a sport that had been so long coming. She saw other people come and go, but she stayed where she was. On the tenth trip skyward she murmured, sorrow fully:
 T don't blieve ever can go home!"
 On the fifteenth she acknowledged that the oftener you went the more delightful it was. Ind-ru, put for one trif1ing incident, Peggy might have been there still. riding the full length of the ever-so-many stories.
 On the sixteenth trip a man said:
 "Let me out at Reagan & Johnson's."
 Tenth floor" said the elevator man.
 Reagan & Johnson! Why, that was the firm that collected rents from the Raffertys. and from all the other peo- pie in that building. Peggy always resented the visits of the fresh young man" who came about those collec tions More than once she had de- clared that sine would like to give Incse people piece of her mind. And now here was her opportunity.
 On the next trip up, when the ele- vator stopped at the tenth floor, Peggy stepned out with as much assurance as if her life had been spent in the investigation of big office buildings. Halfway down the hall she found door bearing the names she sought, i+ ch had people do with the other doors, with out knocking. she boldly entered the room.
 An old man with white hair and red face looked at her from beyond the railing
 Well. little girl, and what do you want?" he asked, irritably. No beg gars are allowed in this building"
 Who's a-beggin'?" demanded Peggy. I'm Peggy Sullivan. an I live with Misses Rafferty on the third back in the Mason buildin', an I'd like to know if there ain't- ever goin' to be anything done to fix up that house."
 The old mans face grew redder still.
 "Here," he cried. fiercely. 'Tf the Raffertys don't like those rooms, let them get out! I can rent them fast enough"
 q reckon you can," retorted Peggy. "But all the same, the rooms is fierce"
 And then a young man in a dark gray suit. who had been listening to the old man and looking rather bored when Peggy came in, rose and came forward and leaned over the railing. cn that hn rntld pOnd lnnL of Peggy. He seemed to be rather amused.

CAN A TROUT BE CRAZY?
Nerves in DOES HespOnSiI,Ic foi

Nerves in DoES RespOn<iIsIc for
 Many Canine Eccentricities.
 We quite agree with the writer in one of the sporting papers who said the other day neurasthenia among certain animals (fish, perhaps, excep.- ed; you cannot imagine a hysterica, or hypochondriacal trout is cc.npara- lively more acute than among human beings, says the London Globe.
 Nerves in dogs. for instance, are re- sponsible for many canine eccentrici- ties. Take a terrier When terrier is feeling jumpy he will emit sudden barks for no other reason than hear ing his own voice. Time and place do not matter. His nerves are over strung and he just has to bark. Man! a wretched dog has incurred the tem- porary hatred of his master on ac- count of sudden fit of barking in ths early hours of a cold morning.
 Sometimes the dogs overwrought nervous system causes him to stand stock still with all his bristles stick ing up. In these cases superstitious persons say, "Ah, he sees more than we do," and add that the house is haunted. On the other hand, a dog, especially an old terrier, can also dis play callousness which seems to be- token a complete absence of nerves. When he has a liking for lying besides fire his indifference is extraordi- nary. At any moment live coal may drop on his head, and he knows it by experience. But the fact never ap- pears to prey on his mind. He sleeps on the fender as contentedly as live those villagers who dwell by the side of a not extinct volcano

HafinE of the old and the Young l.
 Now Becoming the Fashion. i What does it matter how old a man Is or what the age of a woman is if they wish to marry? What have years to do with love and that felicity that comes from the tying of the nuptial knot? Dr. Johnson's wife was more than twenty years his senior, and Shakespeare spouse was old enough to be his mother. They were happy and why should not those who follow their example in these days also find connubial joys?
 It is getting to be the fashion now adays, this mating of December and May, the New York Telegraph says. Recently a wealthy woman of Hart ford made plans f rohraodni taoin ford made plans for marrying a school boy at New Haven. She was about 70 and he about 20. and her children and grandchildren. when they learned about it, went to the courts and said she was crazy. But the judges knew otherwise. and set her free and let her continue mistress of her own for tune.
 Then there was the lady of noted American family who lived in her mansion on the Hudson For 6S years she had lived alone. and then she mar ried her hostler. aged 24 What of that? Shall a woman who has lived nearly threescore years and ten and still is an old maid continue so until her death?
 Mime. Francoise Mantaiselo. 57 years old. and Arthur Springer. g years old. have taken out a license to marry in this city. Speaking flor the lady and himself Master Springer made this statement: Tt is no ones business except ours if we marry" The boy is right; he can marry his step-grand- mother if he wishes. and not even the law can say him nay.

Why We Cough, SneeEe and Sigh.
 One of the most interesting facts about the human body is it's power of self-preservation-its power of evading or overcoming the thousand and one conditions which, unless corrected would be injurious or destructive.
 Among the most common of these acts of self-preservation are the cough, the sneeze and the sigh. Every one is familiar with these acts; yet few peo- pie ever ask themselves the cause, and fewer still could explain them.
 One of the simplest of the body's de- vices for self-protection is the cough. The cough Is merely blast of air pro- pelled from the lungs in such man. ner as to forcibly dislodge some for sign substance which has been drawn into the throat, the windpipe or the tubes leading to the lungs. The mem- branes lining these parts of the body are very sensitive, and when foreign matter comes in contact with them. an alarm message is at 1nce sent to the nervous headquarters" and the re suit is the sudden, spasmodic expul- sion of breath which is called cough. Very often the cough is accompanied by the irritation of the accumulation of mucous on the surface mentioned. In this case, as in the case of foreign body, the cough is merely means of expelling the matter.
 So, you see, a cough Is merely one of natures methods of self-protection. The ordinary cough cure contains some 1rug which, by paralyzing the nerves, prevents the cough and allows the mu- cous to accumulate. Thus the cough medicine does only harm. The cure for cough is to cough-to cough until the excessive deposit is removed. Meantime, of course, measures should be taken to prevent added deposits.
 A sneeze is exactly like a cough, save that the obstruction occurs in the nostrils, owing to the deposit of some irritant or foreign matter. and that the blast of air is thrown out through the nose instead of through the throat and mouth.
 Why do we sigh? When grieved or depressed, the tendency is to held the breath. This means that the body sui fers for oxygen; and the long. deep breath which we call a sigh is merely a means by whica the body obtains for itself the necessary amount of oxygen.-Dr. W. R. c. Latson. in Health-C Culture.

MARcoNI ON THE WIRELESS.
Inventor Pointed Out n Discovery of
 Scientific Interest.

Inventor Pointed Out Discovery of Scientific Interest.
 Upon receiving the Nobel prize for
 physics, jointly with Professor Braun,
 at Stockholm, Signor Guglielmo Mar conf pointed out result of scientific interest in wireless telegraphy whlcl he had first noticed during the tests on the steamship Philadelphia, and which was a most important factor in long distance telegraphy. This was the very marked and detrimental effect of daylight on the propagation of electric
 waves at great distance, the range by night being usually more than double that attainable during daytime.
 He did not think that this effect had yet been satisfactorily investigated or explained, says Current Literature. At the time he carried out the tests he was of opinion that it might be due to the loss of energy at the trans hitter caused by the diselectrification of the highly charged transmitting elevated conductor under the influence of sunlight He was now inclined to believe that the absorption of cleo. tric waves during the daytime was due to the ionization of the gaseous mole cules of the air effected by ultraviolet light, and as the ultraviolet rays which emanated from the sun were largely absorbed in the upper atmos- phere of the earth. it was probable that the portion of the earth's at- mosphere which was facing the sun would contain more ions or electrons than that portion which was in dark ness, and therefore, as Sir J. J. Thom- son had shown, this illuminated and ionized air would absorb some of the energy of the electric waves. Appar- ently the length of wave and ampli- tude of the electrical ocillations had much to do with this interesting phe- nomenon. long waves and small ampli- tudes being subject to the effect of daylight to a much smaller degree. Ac- cording to Prof. Fleming. the daylight effect should be more marked on long waves, but this had not been his ex- perience. Indeed in some very recent experiments in which waves about B ,O00 metres long were used the energy by day was usually greater than at night.
