handed the receiver to him and he
met her confident, untroubled gaze for
a second. Instead of returning to the
sitting-room where she could have
heard everything that he said, she
went into her own room down the hall
and closed the door. He was not con-
sciouS of any intention to temporize,
but it was significant that he did not
speak until the door closed behind
her. Afterwards he realized and was
ashamed.
Almost the first words that Yvonne
uttered were of a nature to puzzle
and irritate him, although they bore
directly upon his own previously
formed resolution. Her voice, husky
and low, seemed strangely pIaintiYe
and hfeless to him.
Have you and Lydia made any
plans for the afternoon?'' she inquired.
He made haste to declare their inten-

openinu the Cupboard Doors.

There are some people so afraid of
fresh air." laughed an old sea captain,
that they seem to think they can VEN
tilate their rooms by opening their
cupboard doors" And there are peo-
pie who imagine that they can keep
their lives fresh and healthful in very
much the same way. They shut off
all currents from the outside world.
They shudder at its wickedness, they
shrink from its clamor, they do not
want to be disquieted by its demands,
and so they selfishly shut themselves
into their own interests and pursuits,
and begin, all unconsciously, to grow
pinched and narrow. The
breath of the outdoor world may sting,
but it is invigorating; rubbing against
other peoples angularities may be
rasping, but it smooths down our own,
and all the rush and hurry about US,
however weary we may grow, is better
than withdrawal and morbidness.

The Unity of Life,

There is nothing, l think, that
brings home to one more conclusively
the unity of life, and therefore the
unity of knowledge of that life, than
the attempt to study any particular
subject by itself and confine yourself
to it alone. You find very soon that
you cannot do so. No aspect of life
can be separated from the rest and
understood even in any small degree
without some knowledge of the rest
of life. No part of life stands alone.
Every phenomenon of life is the re-
suit, not of one or two causes alone,
but of the interaction of innumerable
causes. To get near the understand
ing of only one item you must be able
to estimate more or less truly all the
forces that make life, and the objec.
tive of life. AS with the eddy of a
river, to estimate it you must know
not merely the eddy, but much also
of the river, its volume and its speed,
the density Of its waters, the configu-
ration of its banks and it's general
direction. The observation of the
eddy only would lead you into the
widest fallacies.-The Atlantic.

HOW To CURE A

two bottles my cough is entirely cured,

The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because the active medic
inal principles of cod liver oil contained
in Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues and

wine assist the red corpuscles of the

it through the system, thus restoring
health and strength to the weakened,

GOOD AND EVIL IN EXERCISE
Stair Climbing, Done In the Proper
Way, May Be Beneficial or May
Be Made Injurious.

Climbing stairs always has been
thought to be very injurious to a
woman, vet in many cases If 1t is
rightly done, it may be of real benefit
and gradually strengthen the heart
and shoulders instead OF doing actu-
ally the reverse. Mount the stairs
slowly with the body erect, the head
and chest high, and allow the leg
muscles to do the work. Try this for
a week, instead of the old way of
bending the back and depressing the
chest, and see how it improves the
general carriage.
A physical culture exercise chat is
unrivaled for giving one an erect and
graceful carriage, Strengthening the
shoulders and making them as level
as those of West Point cadet is done
by this same stair climbing, only in
this case, with the arms hanging at
full length, the hands should be
clasped behind the back, with the fin
gers interlaced and the hands turned
as nearly back to back as possible.
Then, standing very erect, mount
the stains slowly, and before half the
ascent is made every cell in the lungs
will have been expanded many times.
These exercises are excellent for any
one whose heart is in good condition,
but when this organ is in a diseased
state it is well to avoid stair climbing
whenever possible.
