 Scarcely had he departed when his ladyS faithful attendant, Anna, came to her mistress and tenderly chided her for her indulgence and sorrow. Lady Randolph replied that she could never be otherwise than sorrowfu and at length said that she had a hidden cause of woe which she felt she must disclose to some one.
 And you, Anna continued she, shall be the instructed partner of my sor- rows" Then she revealed to the faithful maid secret which she had hitherto kept locked in her breast.
 Hereditary Foes
 When Matilda was a girl it happened that her brother had, in battle, saved the life of the son of the Douglas, the hereditary foe of her fathers house.
 The two young men. the young Doug las and Matilda's brother, Malcolm, swore eternal friendship to each other. and the brother boasted much to young Douglas of the beauty of his sister So much so that Douglas declared that he must see for himself this paragon of beauty.

Two states. Missouri and Illinois, In

called a pension to any mother OF good
character who needs such assistance

Hitherto II has been the custom when
q home failed in the struggle for exist

of woman, Is God's.own institution for
its upbringing
The Cook county juvenile court in
the city of Chicago last summer had
some 1927 mothers, with an aggregate
of 100 children, cared for on this plan.

naturalists. Certain species not only
harvest and store In granaries the
seeds upon which they feed, but actu-
ally plant and cultivate an annual
crop OF their food seeds.
But now n still more wonderful tale
ia told of an ant which IL common in
Dalmatia, Messor bnrbarus. Accord
Ing to Professor Meyer, of the well
known forestry school near Dresden,
this ant not only cuts leaves and gath
ers seeds. but actually makes bread
or biscuit
The seeds are first sproutcd, then car
ried into the sun and dried. then taken
back 10 the underground chambers.
where they are chcwed into dough.
The dough * then finally made into
tiny cakes, which are baked in the
sun, then carefully stored for future
use
All cooking Is done by the sun,
whether IN the rlpening OF fruit or in
