Need Care of Home.

A Philadelphia physician who en-
Joys a handsome practice and excel
lent hospital connections told me an
interesting although terrible thing.
About 80 per cent. out of every 100
babies that are sent to hospitals for
bringing up die. The death rate among
such unfortunates is seven times as
great as with infants who have the
immediate care of mothers. Truly
there is something needed in child's
life besides food, shelter, and clothing.

Squeaky Boots.

Often when one has purchased
pair of boots, one doesn't know till
they are home that they creak. How
ever, the disagreeable noise may be
stopped by taking them back to the
shoemaker and asking him to spring
them on each side and insert between
the soles a teaspoonful of French
chalk. This process costs only trifle
and answers admirably.

the moors have defied the farmer and
remain the same sad wilderness that
prehistoric man Inhabited four thou
sand years ago. You can see where
he built his hut circles, and set up his
great stone avenues to the honor OF
dead chieftains.
It was an uncanny sort Of place al
together, and shivered as l sat IN
that lonely cemetery Of the forgotten
dead.
The huge prison was built on the
opposite slope Of the shallow valley,
and the farm which the convicts had
won field by field stretched down
from its walls to brook at the foot
Of the cairn hill where was. On the
further edge of the brook gang was

out the man l was after. The last
time l had seen him was on his own
coach at Ascot, with the girls buzzing
round him like wasps after sugar, and
there he was digging trenches with 9
spade. It's funny world!
About twenty men were In the
gang. On the outer side couple OF
warders strolled up and down with
rifles under their arms. There was
nothing but a low hedge to stop the
convicts If they knocked down the
guards with their spades and made
run for it. But when looked back
across the wastes Of the moor l I'M

must tramp a dozen miles before ne

clear weather the mounted warders
Of the pursuit would ride him down
In half an hour.
The Princetown Arms, a gray,
weather-beaten square Of granite, was
a pleasant country inn standing near
the center of the village. It was too
early in the year for tourists. Indeed,
as l discovered, there was only one
man beside myself staying In the
house, q Mr.. Thomas Hearne, whose
address In the visitors book was

to dinner that night / found him al

knife and fork laid opposite. wasn't
anxious to make new acquafntances,
but l couldn't very well ask them to
lay another table for my benefit. So
took my chair, and wished him good
evening as politely as possible.
He was a small, gray-bearded man
Of over sixty, as I reckoned, and he
seemed as disinclined for CONVERSE

my luck, and worked through the din
ner with my brain busy with one plan
after another. It was just as coffee
was served that he asked the ques-
ton which startled me.
