Amaryllis looked at me in surprise.
why" said she. you are as strong
as n of the plow mules, you sleep
ten or twelve hours every night. and
you are eating us out of house and
home. What more do you want:"
II tell YOU" said l, that unless we
find the magic-that is. the plant we
are looking form time nothing can
save me. The doctor tells me So"
What doctor:"
"Dr. Tatum. the old doctor who lives
you know him."
II have known him since l was able
to talk. And is that where YOU go ev-
cry day-is it he who takes YOU on
these long walks and climbs that have
brought back your health and strength?
God bless the old DOCTOR"
Just then the old doctor himself drove
slowly down the road in his rickety old
buggy. l waved my hand at him and
shouted that l would be on hand the
next day at the usual time. He stop
ped his horse and called to Amaryllis
to come out to him. They talked for
five minutes while l waited. Then the
old doctor drove on.
When we got to the house Amaryllis
lugged out an encyclopedia and sought
a word in it. The doctor said" she
told me, that you needn't call any
more as a patient. but he'd be glad to
see you any time as a friend. And
then he told me to look up my name
in the encyclopedia and tell you what
1t means. 1t seems to be the name of Il
genus Of Towering plants and also the
name of a country girl in Theocritus
and Vergil. What do you suppose the
doctor meant by that:"
Il know what he meant said I. Il
know now"
A word to a brother who may have
come under the spell of the unquiet
Lady Neurasthenia.
The formula was true. Even though
gropingly at times, the physicians Of
the walled cities had put their fingers
upon the specific medicament.
And so for the exercise one is refer
red to good DR.. Tatum on Black Oak
mountain. Take the road to your
right at the Methodist meeting house
in the pine grove.
Absolute rest and exercise.
What rest more remedial than to sit
with Amaryllis in the shade and. with
a sixth sense, read the wordless Theoc-
rltetan idyl of the gold hammered blue
mountains marching orderly into the
dormitories of the night.
THE END.

For some time inspectors have been
visiting the various stations collecting
data by which it is hoped not only to
improve the service and cause the daily
forecasts to be more accurate. but at
the same time introduce economies.
One of the important changes o n
templated in the service is to issue n
night map instead of a day one. This
change from day to night. it is calcu-
lated. will save money because it will
eliminate from many stations the duty

to be regarded as an improvement be-
cause it will reach the persons inter-
ested about twelve hours late.

Real "DayIight" by Night.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1O.-Dr. Herbert
E. Ives. a prominent scientist Of this
city, claims to have invented a substi-
tute for daylight. He has been at
work for a dozen years at the research
laboratories of the city's gas plant and
finally has produced, he says, a light
which has passed the test and is in
every way equal to sunshine and the
light of day. He has designed a pow
erful incandescent lamp with a special
mantle which is so placed in the top
Of a specially made cabinet that its
rays are Immediately beneath a re1ec-
tor. This is made of metal and the
light Is forced downward through a
series Of delicately colored screens.

weekly letter to it's $4,000 township

and any other work of the department,
which can benefit the farmer.
The letters are sent out weekly 50
