MELISSA WOULD TANTALiZE A
TOO CAUTIOUS MAN.

What in the name of goodness do
you want with a darning egg, Me-
lissa?" asked Mrs. Merriwid's mater
nal maiden aunt Jane, in accents OF
profound establishment, land what are
you doing with my stockings?"
Mrs. Merriwid smiled as she rum
mayed in her relatives workbag. I'm
not sure that I'll tell you," she an
swered. 'Is this a darning needle,
dearie?"
It's bodkin," Aunt Jane informed
her. "You put my things down and
tell me what you want and I'll try to
get 1t for you. Are you intending to
darn stockings?"
You're wonder when it comes to
making an intelligent guess" said
Mrs. Merriwid, admiringly. "Some
might have deduced that I was about
to make an omelet. Yes, ma am, I'm
going to be a busy little housewife
this afternoon during Mr.. Farsite's
visit-just to please him. I'm taking
lots of pains with that sensible and
level-headed gentleman, if you've no.

unusually nice to him." said Aunt
Jane. But why should you, of all
persons, try to darn stockings? You
can't do it, anyhow. You don't know
enough to pull basting threads.
never saw anybody in my life as IN
utterably ignorant of any useful thing
as you are. And what makes you sup
pose that the sight of you darning
stockings will afford Mr.. Farsite any
pleasure?"

Mrs. Merriwid. 81 shall merely be
overwhelmed with blushing confusion
when he surprises me with the mate
rials. You see, he's a cautious per

to any great extent without taking

Moving Pictures of Aurora BoreaIis.

A new camera for photographing the
aurora borealis has just been con-
structed for Prof. Carl Stormer of the
Christiania university. The apparatus
will be used TO measure the relative
brightness of the northern lights at
different periods, and to enable cine
matograph reproduction of the phe-
nomenon to be made afterwards. The
pictures are to be taken at night, and
will consequently require long ex-
posture, which will extend from two
and a half to eight minutes each. 1t
is expected that the results will prove
of the greatest scientific value.

assured her. "Still, he might put I
wrong construction on some of the
things I've said. For instance. you
know that sweet, simple, little lingerie

lars for? Well, you know | wore that

him if it wasn't doing pretty we'll to
make that in couple of days at
cost of less than five dollars for ma

ANY fool would know better than
that" commented Aunt Jane.
ANY female fool, dearie," Mrs. Mer-
riwid amended. "M1. Farsite said he
really preferred a little simple gown
like that to the more elaborate and
expensive creations. I could see that
I'd made hit with him right there.
Another thing, | seriously chided him

Il really cannot imagine how you
can lend yourself to such deceit, Me-
lissa," declared Aunt Jane.
I'm just playing his game, dearie,"
said Mrs. Merriwid. He's conducting
careful investigation and I'm pro-
viding him with things to find out.
AS 1 said. he's preparing for a leap
that will give him foothold in my
affections. When he makes it, he'll
simply find he's put his foot in it,"
"'Mr Farsite,' | shall say. You

agreeable and insinuating maner and
a good tailor, but before l commit
myself to anything definite, / would

Just as soon as he's satisfied him

MerriWid. with a confident little nod.
"All he wants to be assured of is that

I'm economical and Industrious and

DRUG FIEMDS USING HEROIN

Give Warning.

The abuse of heroin began aDouI

use of heroin was not confined 10 tho
underworld. The drug spread its Ten
tacles until they were fasteneu upon
all walks of life. Users OF the drug
"sniff it. and the effect IS as RAPID, as
cocaine. The natural form of the drug
is pure white crystals, but IL Is ire
quently sold in tablet and poWder
form.
Chemically, it is known as heroln
hyorochloride 1t Is the hydrocnioriue
ester of morphine. An ester IS Whoi-
ly organic compound produced Dy the
action of various acids. Its crystals
resemble those of sugar rather IMAM
those of chalk. In medicine 1t Is USED
to produce sleep. 1t has frequently
been prescribed as a sedative suitable
for people constitutionally untitled for
morphine.
Like morphine, heroin first excltes
and in a measure exhilarates. That
stage is SuCCSSuSu ny OhO VI SA~~r
then by profound depression. There
is always a danger of an overdose
Morphine users can increase the dose
as their system Graves the drug. Users
of cocaine can saturate their systems
with cocaine. Not SO with heron.
There is always danger that II tha
dose is increased day by day, death
will follow quickly.
In it's outward effect on the victim,
heroin has much the same effect as
its mother, morphine. The face or the
user becomes drawn and sallow and
the pupils of the eyes are reduced to-
the size OF pinheads, Cocaine, on the
contrary, flushes the face and gives
the eyes a CLASSY effect.
Herein sets about the wrecking or
the mind and body with fiendish per-
sistence and cruelty. The character
and will power of the user is broken;
the Imagination becomes distorted and
the victim is soon ripe for any crime,
The bodily tissues waste away and
vitality sinks to a low ebb. The crav-
ing for the drug soon becomes more
powerful and insistent than the crav-
ing for morphine, cocaine or opium.

Eggs Best "Grouch" Cure

If we can believe the claims made for

eaten four times a day for four weeks
on stretch. Then the diet should
be stopped and not commenced again
for four or even six weeks"

whether Eastern eggs In particular
have any more healthful and cheerful
effect than ordinary eggs taken at or

There was shock of antagonism

the average irritability of strong man

Floyd and taken his car around the

"You know-you think"
