then as he did not stir she went up to

she said; "(to, go; for my sake, go."

Thankful bade the guard step in and

use his musket if anyone should try to

we will shoot you where yon are!"
"Oh, you coward you coward, Hon
Williams! He has done you no harm,
and he is unprotected," and Thankful,
speaking thus, placed herself so that
she stood directly before the otlieer.
There was a crash, a confusion of
sounds, for they were trying to force

that this fair maiden was protecting

they saw that she opened her eyes an

it was demonstrated that he had tol

"What has he done, father?" the

for this man, who seemed so proud and
yet so pleading in his manner.
"What Thankful, is it you? Whv

"I eaine to welcome you, father."
"Mat this is no place for you. Wo

"A prisoner! Surely he can do no

"Nevertheless we found titin wandering

"A spy? Surely, 1 think not."

The greatest novelty in cooking appliances
nt the Fair is unquestionably
he apparatus for cooking by electricity,
shown in operation in the gallery
?f tlnj Electricity Building. The
electric current is conducted into
elates of enamel, where it meets with
resistance and is converted into heat.
These plates are attached to specially
joust rueted ovens, broilers, griddles,
latirons, etc. An ordinary stewpan,
roll'ee or tea j>ot, or steam cooker may
(mated on the "disk heater." An outlit
of articles necessary for a private
house costs rJdO, or &77.<r>0 if a heater
for a kitchen boiler is included. Electricity
hnH the same advantages over
coal that gas has; its advantages over
gas depend upon the fact that combustion,
with its needs and limitations,
is wholly done away with. There are i
no products of complete or accidentally j
imperfect combustion, there is not
even a slight loss of heat into the
room or up the Hue. The strongest
points of electrical cooking are comfort
and convenience, but claims are
made lor it also on the score of economy.
It is said that the cost of cooking
by electricity i? less thiui the cost
with coal ami about the same as where
fuel-gas is used. This is on the supi
position that the electricity is furI
nishod at half the price charged for
i lighting.?Popular Science Monthly,

In a lecture at Cambridge, England,
on tho subject of "Weariness," Professor
Michael Tester said undue exortion
was exertion in which the muscles
worked too fast for the rest of tho
body. The hunted haro died not beoauso

brain and his whole body. So also the
schoolboy, urged by pride to go ou
running beyond tlio earlier symptoms
of distress, struggled on until the
heaped up poison deadened his brain,

own making. All our knowledge went
