ARTLETT must have been ami was leaving the table at noon about four g* r“% when lie first announced must have been years of age ami was having the when his father said: “Bartlett, aren't you £on>» to say that lie was too much old ! good-by to your mother!” i “Good-by!” muttered Bartlett from moment no , the doorway. “Hope you'll have a to be kissed. I’p to that one had given the subject of kissing j Bartlett'very much thought, for lie! was not one of those irresistibly at tractive children that one instinctive ly caresses; but of course after bis de fiant declaration it became a matter of pride with the small boy’s family to see which member could beg, liny or steal tbe greatest number of kisses. By the time Bartlett, who bad a large number of feminine relatives, was ten, he bad grown so skilled iu dodging oscillatory advances that it was no longer possible to surprise him with unwelcome endearments. If any one wanted, or pretended to want, kisses from Bartlett, it was necessary to buy them. Bartlett’s price for these favors was ten cents apiece. For tbe next two years, whenever he was desperately in need of a dime—but the necessity had to be desperate indeed—be con sented to seil to bis teasing sister Madge, bis tantalizing cousin Eleanor or his badgering young Aunt Emily a small, sudden, birdlike peck, followed always by instant flight. The sight of this performance invariably sent the fun-loving family into laughter' but Bartlett’s mother did not quite ap prove. “Don’t tease that boy so!” she would sometimes protest, although she was such a mild little person that no one ever thought of heeding her remon strances. “I’m afraid you’ll make him hard hearted.” “Surely,” teased Madge, “you would n’t want a mushy boy like Clarence Mills!” Of course, by tbe time Bartlett was twelve, no kisses could be wrung from him for love or money; but to bis great disgust his fame had spread abroad, and Lis schoolmates had dubbed him ”Teu-Ce»t Bnrty.” His older brother John, a young man of twenty, still kissed bis mother good night In a comfortable, matter-of-fact way; but when Mr. Morgan said to Bartlett, as lie sometimes did. with a twinkle in his eye, “My son, why don’t you kiss your mother good night?” Bartlett would reply truthfully, if not at all gallantly, “I’d rather be shot.” It was evident that Ten-Cent Baity bad no use for kisses. It also became evident, gradually, that the eyes of Mrs, Morgan, a slight, not very strong little mother, followed Bartlett wist fully from 1he room when, with a hast ily mnmbl.d “Good night!” to nobody In particular, the boy would bolt for tile stairs. it grew plain, even to Barllett. that she missed the good night kiss that was hers by right and that was never forthcoming: yet. strangely enough, in spite of repeated disappointments, she looked for it ox- poe anlly night after night. It was not tin.* kiss alone that was lacking. Between John, who was dk« his molllm’s family in many ways, an-' Mrs. Morgan there was a strong l*'»: d cf >y non they end good f< ilowsl:!; most beautiful to see. But Barll'ul was ::n alien and almost r.u outsider in the family circle. Apparnuiy he bad discarded his mother and dresses at the same moment, for. with Ids'first trousers, he had turned to his laller for sympathy and counsel. Encircled by his mother’s arm. John bad sewed patchwork, bad learned to knit, and had even played with d“”s. without suffering permanent injury from any of these girlish occupations: but from the time that Bartlett’s small fingers had been long enough to grasp a hammer the younger boy’s predi lections bad been thoroughly mascu line. Of course it bad not taken him long to discover how little his mother knew about things of such vital importance as screw bolts, steam gag;*, hall bear ings and pillow blocks. Neither did any of these things appeal to John, who was reading law. Bartlett had soon learned to work out his problems without motherly or brotherly assist ance. By the time Ten-Cent Bnrty was sixteen his knowledge of machin ery had become a source of wonder not only to bis own family, but to the interested neighbors, who called Lim in to prescribe for ailing lawn mow ers and lijured clotbrs wringers. In Match Mrs. Morgan lind taken cold. All through tbe summer she Lad a little hacking cough that alarmed the fnmilj’, and she seemed pale and list less. The family doctor shook his head whenever he saw her, and in Sep tember ordered her to Arizona. “I’m not saying that there’s anything serious tbe matter with her,” he ex plained to Mr. Morgan, “but this cli mate isn’t the place for her this win ter. Send her out West.” “I have a sister in Phoenix-—” “Then send her to Phoenix. There couldn't be a safer place for her from now until May.” By tbe last week In September Mrs. i 2 ; ;ire 0 f the afternoon sun. Bidin; Morgan was ready to depart. When ; nas no t so restful as Bartlett had the day came tbe entire family, with j hoped to find it. for he Lad not counted one exception, announced its intention j ou the nervous strain of guiding the of going to the station to speed the 1 vehicle; and as he grew increasingly traveler with cheerful words — some-i <veary. bis hand lost its sureness.

Mrs. Morgan’s eyes filled with tears, but Bartlett gave no sign of seeing them, unless an unusually vigorous sir, mining of the front door might have been a sign. At two o’clock the family with some what forced cheerful ness, went to put Mrs. Morgan on her train. Sim kissed her many relatives good-by as they ap peared; but in tli? interval of waiting for the cry, “All aboard!” her eyes wandered frequently to the door or searched the faces of the crowd on the platform. It really did not seem possible that Bartlett could let his mother go so far away and for so long a time without giving some small sign that lie loved her. But the train pulled out finally, and no Bartlett had appeared. Now among Bartlett's friends was a man named Johnson, who had owned an automobile, the first to appear in the town. Whether it was the owner’s inexper ience or whether the machine itself was defective no one had ever been able to discover, but the runabout had never worked with any degree of sat isfaction to its rather sensitive owner, whose fads, at best, were short lived. He had soon abandoned it and bought a horse. From the first Bartlett had hovered about this misbehaving automobile like a bee about clover. His devotion both amused and touched Johnson, who, in the days when his faith iu gasoline was strong, had often invited Bartlett to ride with him. and who had fre quently found tlie boy’s skill with tools of service when things went wrong. Afterward, unable to sell the now somewhat damaged machine to any body who knew of its vagaries, and too honest to sell it to any one who did not, Mr. Johnson permitted Bart- ici! to experiment with it. After months of labor, and the clev er substitution of parts which lie had himself manufactured, it began to look as if tlie boy were actually going to restore the automobile to something like its usefulness. Several times be fore tbe day of Mrs. Morgan's depart ure the machine lind journeyed two blocks and borne again wilhout a breakdown. Immediately after luncheon tlie day of Mrs. Morgan's departure, Bartlett, with his hands in his pockets, stood in the doorway of the Johnson carriage house, gazing at tlie repudiated auto mobile. The light of strong purpose *hone in his gray eyes a moment later when he glanced at his watch, hastily liiled the automobile tank with gasoline, flung tlie doors wide, and started his unwieldy pet toward the entrance. The driveway was rough and a trifle j uphill, but the boy trundird t-ie velii- ; -ie to tbe road, worked away at the •rank ’.mil 111* engine was started, r.ni got in. while short, ejaculatory somniH issued from the motionless ma chine. Then he pushed the lever, ami with a sudden sibilant explosion tlie automobile was spinning down tbe street, leaving tlie atmosphere in its wake redolent of gasoline. Bartlett knew exactly where ho wanted to go, lint lie realized that it was one tiling to possess this knowl edge and quit” another to impart it to a notoriously erratic automobile. The spot lie had in mind was sixteen miles distant, for be had something to do and lie meant to do it. In the same eiremnstnnees any other boy would have thought of a far simpler plan of carrying out the idea; but Bartlett was no one but himself, and the workings of his mind were as incomprehensi ble at times as were the complicated inner workings of tise Johnson auto mobile. Sixtc n miles are not many for a first class machine, on a good, level road, lo accomplish in two hours and a lia.lf, but sixteen miles, when half of them are up-hill and much of the road is sandy, are a great many. The country roads were worse than Bartlett had expected to find them. On the other hand, the renovated ma chine ran even belter than he had dared to hope.* He had feared the long stretch of deep mud always to lie found at tlie foot of Colliusburg Hill, but the automobile dashed through it with an almost appalling disregard .’or its own shining exterior, only to lose, later, several precious moments from sheer contrariness ou the only stretch of good road tlie boy could hope to find. But having started, Bartlett had no intention of failing. He had to reach a certain point by half past two and lie meant to do it. A good part of tbe road, winding among the bills, was unsheltered by | trees, and was exposed to the lull dragged h!s vehicle without the time ly assistance of a passing farmer. Twenty minutes after this disaster, and nearly two miles from his dfstina- tion. a deep and unseen hole in the road was the cause of a sudden and disastrous overturn. And the over turn was the cause of A serious break in tbe steering mechanism that Bart lett pushed the automobile into a thick clump of bushes near the roadside, to be left until called for. At half past two Mrs. Morgan’s train stopped at Forestville, sixteen! miles from her home, to take on pns-l sengers. The little woman, still rath er tremulous, surveyed from her win dow, although with very little interest, tlie crowd on tlie platform. From this occupation her glance strayed idly to the road that led to the station. Down this dusty thoroughfare a brbad-shouldered, long-legged lad was running. There was something about his gait that betrayed excessive weari ness, combined with a certain air ot dogged determination. There was alse- something about this overheated, mud- streaked figure that all at once set Mrs. Morgan's heart throbbing with almost unendurable emotion. | As the runner approached, he lifted Jiis ryes suddenly, to meet hers at tlv* window. Jostled by the crowd on the platform, tlie boy elbowed ids way to the steps, leaned aboard the train, rushed through the car. and planted one of Bartlett’s own ridiculous, bird like pecks on Mrs. Morgan's lips. But to her. who suddenly understood all, no kiss w. s ever sweeter. There was a new’, wonderfully hap py look in her eyes as. a moment later she leaned from the window to wave her hand to Bartlett, who, already homeward, had paused to wave a band toward the moving train.—Youth’s Companion. electricity and bread.

The tomato belongs to the same order as tiie deadly nightshade, which per haps explains why our forefathers were so long overcoming their fear of them. Nowadays we understand the healthful quality of the tomato despite its containing minute proportions of oxalic acid, a vegetable poison. It is either a fruit or vegetable according to fancy, raid is not only delicious served, naturally, but makes an appropriate sauce for meats, a sparkling ketchup, or a dainty salad. Oddiy enough the only way to preserve the tomato except by plain “canning” is to take it green.

The power of the electric current to decompose certain substances in a sin gular way has led to an important de velopment of electro-chemistry. In this connection experiments have recently been made in Paris, seeking an im provement in bread making. Laboring under the mistaken impres sion that the whiteness of wheat bread determines its quality—that the whiter the bread the better—the Parisian pub lic lias for years been growing more and more exacting on this score, conse quently tlie fineness of grain flour has been gradually approaching a limit. The public has, as a consequence, re ceived a less nutritive food, it being a known fact that the core of the wheat grain, which is the chief constituent of bread, while producing the whitest flour, at the same time contains the smallest amount of albumen and is thus least nutritious. There lias recently been raised the hope of obtaining a whiter bread by aid of electricity, for which purpose the flour was brought in contact with electrified air, whose ozone possesses efficacious bleaching properties. A re port to the Academy of Sciences at Paris on the result of an experiment with flour treated in both the ordinary way and by electricity, under simitar conditions, explains that the flour sub jected to electric influence was much whiter in color, but that its taste trad odor were far inferior to those of flour treated by the ordinary method. The amount of phosphorus was tbe same in both, but the 4 quantities of fatty and acid substances varied largely. Thus, in flour treated by electricity tbe fa-ty substances proved rancid, glutir«lis, and of a less yellowish color, and in stead of retaining their usual aromatic yellow state, became oxidized and part ly converted into white sebacic acid, which could be dissolved in alcohol. The giutionous substances were discol ored and changed. The bread made from this flour was whiter than usual, but of inferior taste, and tbe experiment serves to demon strate that electric treatment, while successfully turning flour whitei', in jures it.

THE MIKADO’S SUCCESSOR, Interesting Dgta About the Crown Prince and His Children. Royal names in Japan are not as easy to roll off the tongue as Togo and R.o. The Crown Prince, is name] Barunomlya, and his sisters are the Princess Tsunenomiya, Kanenomiya, Fuminomiya and Yesunomiya. The Crown Prince had two elder brothers, but they died. He himself was unman ageable as a boy. A professor of Chin ese literature, who used to give pri vate lessons in the Chinese classics (v/hich include Confucius’ Book of Pre cepts', in the palace, was a stern disci plinarian. One day Prince Harunomi- ya refused to receive the lessons from the professor, because he takes the higher seat in the room than himself, who is the Crown Prince. The profes sor said: “I am taking the place of Confucius in teaching you the Book of Confucious, Your Highness. Confu cius is above his scholars, whether they are ordinary princes.” But the not acquiesce, and to resign. He was ed highly by the Mikado.

And 'in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws; all suiter alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, ovarian troubles, ulceration, falling and dis placements of the womb, ieucorrhnea, or perhaps irregularity or suppression of “monthly periods,” causing back ache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude. Women who stand on their feet all day are more susceptible to these troubles than others. They especially require an invigorat ing, sustaining medicine which wilt strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of tbe day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful.
