Owing to the effects Of shore lines
and other influences which are more or
less obscure it is very difficult TO &C
count for the peculisrities exhibited by
tidal waves in various parts Of the
world.
Interfering waves cause once a day
tides at Tahiti and in some other
places, while on the other hand in the
harbors back Of the Isle of Wight and
in the Tay IN Scotland there are three
tides in a day. The latter have been
ascribed to overtides, produced by the
modification Of tidal waves running
ashore and resembling the overtones OF
musical sounds.-New York Sun

fat people very neatly. 1t is com
mon knowledge that once a human
being begins to fatten up, to what
they have already is added more
than they want until finally a
stage is reached where reduction
must be made or decided disadvant-
age results.
Then comes forward the ages-old
query, "Reduce-but how?" To the
uniformed nothing suggests itself
but the Ito them) twin evils-less
eating-more activity. They con-
siege of dieting and exercising. So
1t may be said safely that every

to don the ashes and sackcloth of

WHAT TO BURN.
At FESTO

still wrestling with the problem
of burning powder at the July
show.
T. G. Hit wants to give a

exhibition on three nights for $5.-
600, but the committee has not

to burn up and the committee is
considering whether it cannot get
more for the people in some other
line.
The industrial parade has been
turned over to the Rotary club.

The young mother-and many an
old one, tools often puzzled to
know the cause of her child's Ill
nature. The loudness OF its cry
ing does not necessarily indicate
the seriousness of it's trouble. 1t
may have nothing more the matter
with ii than a headache or a feel
ing of general dizziness. 1t can
not, of course, describe its feel
ings, but as a preliminary measure
you are safe in trying a mild lax
alive.
Nine times out of ten, you will
find 1t is all the child needs. for
Its restlessness and peevishness
are perhaps due to obstruction of
the bowels, and once that has been
remedied the headache. the slug
gishness and the many other evil
dences of constipation and indt-
gestion will quickly disappear.
Don't give the little one salts,
cathartic pills or nasty waters, for
these will act as purgatives, and
they are too strong for a child. In

"All right. But you haven't ex-

After a pause of consideration
the voice spoke again.
You are right. Since ! can not

courtesy for having put you to
this trouble. You will observe
that l am not very presentable."
The side door swung open. In
the dimness of the half-disclosed
apartment Average Jones saw a
man huddled in a chair. He wore
a black skull cap. So far as ident-
ification went he was safe. His
whole face was grotesquely blotch-
ed and wollen. So, also, were the
hands which rested on his knees.
You will pardon me-" said Av-
erage Jones, but / am by nature
cautious. You have touched me.
Is it contagious?"
A contortion of the features,
probably indicating a smile, made
the changeling face more hideous
than before.

THE MERCY sIGN-ONE

CONTINUED Fom Yesterday
Thus 1t was that Mr.. Adrian
Van Reypen Edgerton Jones
found himself on a hot May even
ing pursuing the Adventure of Life
into the vestibule of a rather din
gy old house which had once been
the abode of solemn prosperity II
not actual aristocracy in the olden
days of New York City. Almost
Immediately the Geographic click
of the lock apprised him that he
might enter, and as he stepped in
to the hallway the door of the
right-hand ground-floor apart

q voice.
The tone was gentle and meas
ured. Also 1t was, by it's accent,
alien to any rightful Smith. The
visitor stepped into passageway
which was dim-until he entered
1t and the door swung behind
him. Then it became pitch black.

the voice. "A severe affection of
the eyes compels me-"
You are Mr.. SMITH" asked
Average Jones.
Eyes. Your hand If you please"
The visitor, cropping, brushed
with his fingers the back of a
hand which felt strangely hot and
pulpy. Immediately the hand
turned and closed, and he was led
forward to an inner room and
seated in a chair. The gentle, hot
clasp relaxed and left his wrist
free. A door facing him, If his
ears could be trusted, opened and
shut.
"You will find matches at your
elbow" said the voice, coming

Doubtless you would be more
comfortable with a light"

the dime-novel setting which his
