Nioht 1errors Are Serious.

NbS"S ~
Night terrors are due to fault In the
nervous system which makes it easily
excited by any slight irritation. even
though that irritation be in some re-
mote part Of the body. The child
awakens suddenly with violent scream
ing and gives abundant evidence Of
great fear. This may be repeated
night after night or at less frequent
intervals. Night terrors usually attack
children between the ages Of three and
eight years. and in nearly every in.
stance the attack comes on within two
or three hours after the child has re-
tired.
The face of the child shows the en-
IRENE terror which he is in. His eyes
are widely opened and generally fixed
upon one object. Sometimes IA clew
is given to what frightened the child
by his crying out the name Of the
thing or person. During the attack the
child will cling to others for protec
ton. This period of extreme terror
lasts usually only a few minutes, but
it may be prolonged to nearly half al
hour. Following this is a period dur
ing which the child recognizes persons
and his surroundings, but for a con.
siderable time he remains in a state
of mild fear and breads to be left
alone.
Night tcrrors should never be allow
ed to continue untreated. They are
Indications that there is a serious fault
in the nervous system. and this should
receive the most careful and thorough
consideration.

 "'One moment before you go' in- terposed the marshall May 1 have any other name by which to dream of you than the lady of the lilies"?' If you like you may reproach me as "Mademoiselle Fleur de Lys.~ And with these words she was sone. The door closed behind her, .nd immediately afterwards he heard the sound of a carriage rolling away.
 "MacMahon returned more infatu- ated with his unknown charmer than c~c-. and he c"ntrived. in delightful reveries on her Vaccinations. to forget the serious nature of the intrigue in which she evidently wished to en. tangie him.
 But in the meantime the affair had already produced its grave con sequences. The spectacle of the president of the republic driving out day after day with A Royalist emblem in his buttonhole had created the most profound impression in Paris.
 "The fact was that MacMahon had never been looked upon as an extreme Republican. At the time that our statesmen were engaged in construc- ting a new government after the ter rible events which brought about the fall Of the second empire. there vas a question, as you may have heard. of restoring the ancient dynasty in the person of the Comte de Chambord The chief obstacle which presented itself, in the course of the negotiations which took place, was the question of the flag The comte. actuated by sincere belief in his hereditary rights. demanded that the lilies of the Valois should again be recognized in the national standard of France. It was MacMahon himself who. speaking in the name of the army. insisted on the retention of the trico.o-, that flag so gloriously associated with the great memories Of Austerlitz and Jena This obstacle proved fatal: the third repub- lie was constituted and Henri " was left without a throne.
 Nevertheless this affair had left

 The young lady-for Of her youth. fulness there could be no doubt-gAye a smile which allowed the marshal to see two perfect rows of teeth. as sne replied:
 You have called me the "iady of the lilies Have you not remembered by this time that tine iii, Is a fewer to which a certain political signif. canoe attaches itself?
 The president started. and an ex- pression of anger and chagrin showed itself on his face as the truth of the situation flashed upon him. The lily was, Of course. the badge of the royal house of France. the emblem assumed on all occasions by the partisans of the Comte de Chambord. In effect. his companion was entitled to say, if she pleased. that she had given a sum- cient indication of the character of her overtures by selecting this bios som. whose traditions were as we'll known as those of the violet of the Napoleons or the Shamrock of old Ire land And it was the fact that he. the official head of the French repub- lie, had openly paraded during three days these Royalist emblems in the midst of Paris, where their signif- canoe had without doubt been eagerly noted by thousands of spectators. He beheld himself fatally compromised
 As these reflections passed through his mind Mac Mahon ground his teeth and uttered a savage ejaculation un- der his breath. The lady of the lilies drew back. with a gesture of despair.
 Alas, what have I done,' she ex- claimed, in pathetic tones. I meant merely to convince you that I was not a woman who had abandoned her selt-respect. and have offended you beyond recall
 As she spoke she raised her veil another inch. and the marshal beheld

behind it a general impression that MacMahon was not strongly opposed to the monarchy; and his election to the presidentship a few years after was owing largely to the support of the Royalists in the assembly. After his election. however. he seemed to have resigned himself to faithfully playing the part of the chief of the re- public. and the hopes of the Royalists were suddenly revived by the incidents have described. A remarkable activ- ity instantly displayed itself in their ranks. followed by a corresponding de- pression on the part of the friends of the existing regime You know the electrical atmosphere of Paris. that city which in the course of a century has witnessed ten revolutions. Sinis- ter rumors coupled with the name of the president were on every lip, and men went about not knowing from hour to hour whether they might not hear of the overthrow of the republic. and the proclamation of Henri V at the Elysee.
 The president himself was. of course. the last person in Paris to whom these whispers were likely to penetrate. Carried away by his desire to meet his lady of the lilies again. he did not hesitate to fulfill her in structions by once more driving out with the fatal signal in his buttonhole. While all Paris vas reeling under this fresh shock, the unconscious marshal sought his reward at the little door of the garden.
 The unknown was faithful to her appointment She was again yelled, and greeted him at first with . shy reserve. which did not prevent her from allowing him to bestow a kiss upon her delicate fingers.
 Are you beginning to overcome your repugnance 10 my poor lilies. M. le Marechalg' she asked, as soon as they had exchanged greetings.
 Tt has never been your lilies for which I have felt repugnance. pro- tested the marshal; but only for those with which ths Comte de Cham bord has sought ts replace our glori- ous .ricolor.

Invitation to the Nest7

A couple of Pennsylvania farmers, man and wife. drove from their farm to the nearest railway. The man. small and scared. sat meekly beside his wife. who filled two-thirds of the seat and only spoke to command.
 Finally the station was reached. The woman hustled in. settled her numer- ous bundles and sat down. Looking over her goods and chattels. she sud. denly missed something. and, looking about, discovered that her husband had remained outside on the platform. She rapped sharply on the window.

two lustrous eyes as beautiful as sapphires. which gleamed through the darkness as though they were about to be filled with tears.
 "MacMahon was the president of France. but he was at the same time man. Overcome by this touching spectacle. he forgot the graver aspect Of the situation. and remembered only that he had caused distress to a woman. He instantly stepped to the side Of the young girl, as he now per ceived her to be. and began to reassure her.

 The marshal waved back the key which she held out to him. with a gesture of reproach.
 "'Ah. mademoiselle, do not innict on me so great a punishment, Do not tell me that my society has al ready become intolerable to you,'
 Then you are willing to continue to receive me-even in the character of a conspirator?' she cried.

New Mexico.

A good strike of ore has been made in the Pacific mine at MogolIon: and Cactus Flat is reported a city of tents. where great deal of develop ment work and prospecting is going on.
 The Silver Glance Mining and De- velopment Company, operating near Silver City. has reached an immense body of ore. Just the size of the body is not known. but the report is that a carload of the ore can be mined each day.
 A new mining company is to be in corporated soon by Lee Russell Of Deming and Ed Burch of Hurley. The property is located two miles west of Fierro in the mineral belt between Santa Rita and Penos Altos. Thirty five years ago. the oxidized ore was worked out by company which smelted at Silver City.
