A Child's Simple Faith.
Bishop Clelond K. Nelson of Geor
gia tells this story of the simplicity
of a child's faith in God.
The little daughter of an Atlanta
man had been taught to kneel each
right at her crib and repeat little
prayers. When the family were leav
ir,g the boar'ing house in the moun
tains where they had spent the sum
mer, the child was told to say good
bye to the others in the house. This
she did, and then insisted on going
back to her room. Her mother fol
lowed, to see heisdaughte go straight
to the crib, knee -do folding
her hands, say gravely:
"Dood-bye, Dod."
Then she was ready for her journey.
Help in Fighting Disease.
A Chicago life insurance man read
with much interest an account of the
death of Charles Kreck a. Allentown,
Pa., in his ninetieth year. Sixty-one
years ago he -applied for membership
in an Odd Fellows' lodge, but was re
jected on account of his bad health.
Later he was accepted, and he sur
vived all the other lodge members but
one. "It is a fact," said the insurance
mafi, "that life insurance companies
often do, good to men by rejecting
them. In many cases the experience
results in a beneficial chr-nge of habits
and the man takes better care of him'
self. Besides, his obstinacy is aroused
and he determines to live 'just to show
these Insurance men.' Any physician
will tell you that such a determina
tion is a great help in fighting off dis
ease."

Deafness5 Cannot Be Cured
b local applications as ihey cannot reach the
disesed nortion of the ear. There is only 0n0
wa to cura deafness, and that is by consti
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
taed you have a rumbling sound 'r imper
fet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Dafness is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten

A .Charming Little Story For the
DisconteteWd.
1WONDEJ." muttered youn,
Mrs. Perry, jerking. a hatpir
from the cushion, "if I'll evei
in this life possess suitable and
seasonable things to wear?"
She thrust a hatpin rather viciously
through the dainty summer creation
that crowned her head.
"One would suppos'a I didn't know,'
she ~indignantly told her repected Im
age, "that a trim, tailor-made dress and
walking hat are tile correct dress fox
autumn. One would suppose I didn't
realize how shabby and out of taste is
this hat, winter skirt and odd spring
jacket. But what use to know these
things, when one has no money?"
She sighed despairingly and rum
maged in a box for her oft-cleaned
tan gloves. The sight of them lyint
beside a small pile of newly washed
neck ribbons provoked a. fresh bursi
of scorn.
"Oh. the littleness of it!" she cried,
bitterly. "To spend one's God-given
energies in cleaning and mending and
turning and dyeing -."- because of
a miserable, soul-pinching lack of
monc'y."
Catching up gloves and pocketbook
she passed into the sitting-room of the
little flat.
"Be sure to take good care of Fred
die while Iin gone. Dora," she ad
jured her cousin, who bent over her
school book. the two-year-old young
ster playing at her feet.
"Il try," was the rather weary an
swer. "l-e's always getting Into mis
chief. though, no matter how I watch
him."
The mother sighed impatiently. "I
suppose," she said aggrievedly, "that I
ought really to stay with him. But it
does seem as if I might have some
recreation once in a while, even If it's
no more than going to do a little shop
ping. But then, I'm always made to
feel guilty !f I demand any release
from the daily grind."
She kissed the child hastily. Good
bye, Freddie-mamma's coming back
soon. Gracious! how dirty that dress
is, and I just put it on an hour ago.
I must make him some new things
this week. Oh! the hundreds of things
crying to be done. Shall I ever, ever
have any leisure'?"
"It isn't right," she protested, as
she hurried along the street, "that any
human being should be obliged to
waste precious powers on miserly econ
omies and pailtr'y strivings. There
should he time for something else than
getting meals and making beds and
keeping clothes in order. There should
be leisure! Time to think and study
and develop the higher regions of one's
being. Time to appreciate the beauties
of the finer things of life. Oh. there's
something wrong with the system of
things:"
The sight of gorgeous shop windows
only accentuated her bitter mood. Mrs.
Perry did not possess the philosophy
that enahles one to enjoy beauty re
gardless oi possession.. The display of
exquisite gar'ments cnly filica her with
wretchedness.
"It is cruel'" she uersisted. "Cruel
to be deprt'ed of the~se things. when
one has the taste andl the arzi:tie abil
ity to appreciate them so !meeuly."
It was half an hour !:'.-x'. as she~
stood at a counte;' making 1:odect pur'
chases that the souind of a wonman's
voice nearby arrested her attention.
There wa~s something exceedingly fa
miliar in the well-modulated tones.
Glancing up, she satw that her sur
nis~e was correct. The perfectly ap
pa-mled woinanf who stood looking at
silks was no other than a friend of her
girlhood.
The recognition was mutual. The
friends moved town rd each other with
outstretched hands and giow.ing eyes.
"Why. Clara: Is this you?"
"And you. M1argar :c t?

'Comue with me." said Clara Eberly,
drawing Mr's. Perry fromn the cournter:
"'we'll go to my hotel, where We can
talk over old times to our hearts' con
tent. Shopping can wait for a day or
two."
She was so sweet, so cordial, so like
the Clara of former days, that Mrs.
Perry forgot for the moment that her
dre 'showed a disheartening contr'ast
to the~ equ1iitely fitting gown of grey.

"And ::ow." cried Mris. Eberly, as
they r"oc hed her' room. "we can have a

She rang the bell and ordered re

-Just what I've always wanted. You
have leitsure-tine to think and study
and see the world and accomplish
-roat thing.s. Oh! Clara. you should
be very thankful."
Mrs. Eborly laughed rather helpless
ly. "Accomplish great thin;s'" she
repeated. "Why, Margaret, I don't
accomplish :- ::-hing. If yoa ask me
why. I am -sure I cannot tell. All I
know is that I am constantly on the
go, and yet I do nothing. My life is
absolutely of no use to the world.
Doesn't it sound dreadful? Especially
when you think oi' my essays at school
on the subject of higher living and all
that. I'm sure you must be shocked-"
"fin not shocked, but greatly aston
ished. I thought-I was sure-that
having money and opportunities would
make a difference. You don't have t@
spend your forces worrying about
dress-" .- - -'
"Dress! 'Tis the bane of my exist

Fashion makes greater demands upon
women every year. Oh, It's a problem!
I don't pretend to know the solution of
it. But I sometimes yearn for a simple,
quiet life-for a life utterly free from
all this foolish frippery and nonsense.
I would like a little home that I could
care for myself. Oh! what joy I
would take In making it sweet and at
tractive for my husband! And I would
be willing to wear simple clothes and
to have only a few of them-numerous
clothes are such a burden-and I would
be happy-oh, so happy!-for to me
that would be living:"
On her way homeward an hour later
Mrs. Perry rgaz-d musingly at the
shop windows.
"Strange!" she sighed. "People al
ways want what they do not possess.
And somehow I really believe Clara
meant what she said."-New York

How Warr Begin.
"Here is a remarkable statement,"
said Mr. Bibbin, looking up from his
newspaper.
"What is it, dear?" his wife asked.
"It says that there has not been a
decade in the 'last five centuries In
which war has not been waged some
where in the world."
"Isn't that dreadful? Why can't peo
ple be reasonable and live in peace?"
"Because people are mostly intoler
ant fools," Mr. Dibin answered. "I
declare, it makes a man ashamed of his
kind." He crumpled the paper and
dashed it to the floor.
"There, there, Elias," said his wife,
"don't get excited over it."
"Who's getting excited? I s'pose
I've got a right to express an opini~n.

"It's no more your house than mine,
I'd have you know," said Mrs. Bibbin.
"I guess I worked and scrimped as
hard as you did to get it."
"See here, madame!"
"Don't you madam me, Flias Bibbin.
I won't stan' it."
"Oh. you wvon't, won't you? Well, if
you were a man, I'd punch your im

"No you wouldn't, you big bully. You
wouldn't dare say boo to a man."
"I wouldn't, heh?" He strode toward
her, shaking his fist. "F-or two cents

"You lay a hand on me," said Mrs.
Bibbin, snatching up the rose vase.

The Chanaed Grizzly.
There are numterous reliable state

seek out h:s human victims as he
aced to do. Neither does he lie in

ed fiendishness, as the olitime stories
used to tell. The change in the griz

hunters to the change in character of
the white cousin of the grizzly, the
poilu' bear of the. Arctics. When the
stations for the Hudson's Bay Comn

fright of attacks by polar hear's. Many

That trees affect soil temperatures
has Ien proved by many experiments
in this country.. In South Australia
some observations showed that the
ten:perature of the soil in a forest was

in the forwst was ten per cent. lower.

E. A. Martel, the celebrated explorer
of French caverns, has lately been ex
plaining before the Academy of
Sciences, the remarkable Arariations in.,
the flow of the great natural fountain
of Vaucluse. This fountain, which
has been famous for ages, and is con
nected with the romance of Petrarch
and Laura, excites the admiration of
all travelers. Arthur Young visited It,
during his travels In France on the eve
of the great revolution, and gave a de
lightful sketch of it in his book. The -
fountain is so abundant with water
that it gives rise to the Sorgue, a small
river. Mr. Martel says, in fact, that..
the fountain is the debouchment of a
river. which. in the upper part of Its
course, flows entirely under ground,
and he explains the curious irregular-. -
ties in the quantity. and the tempera
ture of the water by certain assump
tions as to the shape and size of the
subterranean cavidies that give it pas

The value of the fund appropriated
for the study of desert botany nmde

North America contains more than a
million square miles of territory known 2
to the geologist, geographer and botan

ma'ic knowledge of the fundamental
processes of desert plants has 1been
comparatively slow, for the reasons
that conditions afforded vegetation In
