Buildings Cracked by Drought.
i For seven or eight years the Midland
and some of the Eastern counties
of England have been steadily
drying up. Many of the beautifulold
churches that lie along the valley of
the Nene, near the Huntingdonshire
and Lincolnshire fens, and along the
junction lines of Northamptonshire
and Huntingdonshire, have been showing
alarming signs of splitting, and In
very few cases have the engineers
been able to arrest the harm. After
the third or fourth year of drought
the marl of the subsoil began to
shrink, and the effect was at once
seen in cracks in the walls, wnich in
some cases threatened actually to split
the churches in two. To redress the
balance nothing would have been of
any use but such an amount of rain
as would restore the quality of the
clay and marl. It has come at last,
and -many buildings, old farm "homes"
as well as churches, will be saved.?

j Annie Laurie, ]
I By E-nma Howard Wight. ?
She was the darling of Broughton
Academy, sweet Madge Wilmer, with
her piquant face, great brown eyes, and
short dark curls running over her
small head. She had always been
spoilt, being the only child of rich
parents who idolized her, -and the fifteen
years of her young life liad glided
by without the faintest shadow ever
crossing them. Then at Broughton
- a
Academy the girls all made a pei oi j
her, so it was not surprising that she
should be somewhat spoilt a.-?d wilful.
The Academy was a very select and
expensive school in the outskirts of
Chicago, and the scholars were mostly
daughters of rich men.
One afternoon in early June, the
girls were all out on the wide, smooth i
playground. Some were swinging, ethers
playing lawn tennis, others promenading.
school-girl fashion, with their
arms about each other's waists, while
the fresh, girlish voices rang out mingled
with peals of merry laughter.
There was one girl, however, who
took no part in any of the amusements, i
but sat alone on one of the rustic J
benches, with a book on her lap and ;
her eyes bent down upon
it. She was a thin, pale-faced girl,
with far too weary and dissatisfied a
look for her fifteen yeans. -The only
thing bright or pretty abottt her, lor
she was dressed both shabbily and?
dingily, was her hair of a bright golden
hue, and plaited in one thick braid
which fell below her waist. At a little
distance was a group of girls of which
Madge Wilmer was the centre.
"I.can't bear that girl," said Leila I
Sumner, a supercilious blonde, with a.
cold look towards the quiet figure onthe
bench; "there is something so
sneaky and sullen about her."
'T don't like her, myself," answered
Madge, "there is certainly nothing attractive
about her, but I don't think
she is exactly sneaky; she is of a ner- ; (
vous, sensitive temperament, and you j
know she is rather under & disadvant- j
age.here. Perhaps under more favorable"
circumstances she would appear !
to better advantage-* SI 11
"What a little moralizer it is!" said 1
Ada Waters* one ol the older girls, j,
laughing and patting Madge's curly j
head, while Leila Sumner spoke up j ,
rather spitefully, "You needn't take up i
for her so, Madge, for she is running ! ,
you pretty hard for the vocal music ,
prize." ,
Madge flushed and tossed her curly
head. ,
"Let her, but she shan't beat me; (
.my heart's set on winning the prize j
and it will take something better than j ,
that weak creature cf a Loula Parks ! ;
to carry it off from me." j <
"Do you know what I heard the Pro- j ,
fessor say to Mrs. Broughton the oth- j ,
er day?" interposed Ada Waters. "Mrs. j (
Broughton, who wants Madge to win j ]
the. prize, was asking professor what j ,
he thought abcut it. 'Why Madge will : ]
carry it off, of course,' he replied, 'not j t
that she has a finer voice than Loula .
Parks, for she has not; the latter has j
a voice which with proper cultivation j,
would make her one of the most fam- j 1
ous singers of the day, but because i 1
Madge has the confidence and self-pos- ! ,
session to do herself justice, which the . ,
other girl unfortunately entirely lacks.' j j
Those were his exact words, Madge, i (
sn vnn see vou are pretty certain to.i ,
? - - .
get the prize." j ]
"I can't understand how her parents a
can afford to send her here," said Leila j ^
Sumner, "for they are quite poor, and j ]
there Is a crowd of children besides 1 ,
IxHfla." f \
"It is a rich old uncle who sends
her/' said another of the girls, "papa
knows him, and he says he is very
rich, but. as queer as he can be, and
something of a miser. He must be 1
frightfully mean or he would have giv- j ,
en~the girl an outfit when he sent her j
heft, and not let her be a disgrace to j
the school with her shabby clothes. 1
Pafca says Mr. Parks will not get a cent j
of {Shis money when he dies, for he j 1
has left it all to build some kind of a
queer place, and he is a crazy old ]
thing, I believe. But look, girls, there
comes Mrs. Parks now to pay Loula a
visit."
i^They all turned; a shabbily dressed
woman, with a pale, tired face, was
crossing the playground. Loula arose,
went forward to meet her, and then :
both turned and went towards the
house. Some of the girls laughed, but
Madge curled her lip as she looked af- <
ter the two shabby figures, the sun- I
light drawing gleams from the girl's j
golden hair as it flickered through the I
trees. The words of the professor were
rankling in her mind. Madge was '
very proud of her voice, and although
she and Loula Parks v. ere acknowledged
to have the finest voices in the
school, Madge had never for an inI
1
stant supposed that her own was inferior
to Loula's, and the professor's
words were a great blow to her pride.
"But she shan't have the prize, anyway,"
she thought with a thrill of tri- 1
umph.
A little later she had occasion to go
into the house and to her room. As she 1
passed Loula's room, the door of which
was ajar, she involuntary paused at
the sound of low, bitter sobs.
"Hush, my darling," Mrs. Parks was
saying, "you may win it after all."
"No, no, it is impossible, mamma,"
sobbed Loula, "you can't understand
how I feel with all those cold, scornful
unfriendly eyes fixed upon me.
None of the girls like me; I have not a
single friend among them all; and I
can't have any confidence in myself. It
is so different with Madge Wilmer;
they all love her, and are ready to
think the best of everytning she does.
Oh, mamma, how can I give up the
hope of my life? I feel that it is in
me to become a srreat simfer. and I
could make money so that you and
papa would not have to struggle so
hard. Do you think, mamma, that Uncle
John will reaily do as he threatens
if I fail to win the prize."
"I know that he will, dear," the
mother answered sadly. "You see he
never changes his mind and he hates
anything like failure. He promised to
send you abroad to have your voice
cultivated, on condition that you won
the prize here for vocal music, but he
will not, I am sure, do so if you fail,
darling."
"And I shall fail," murmured the
girl, with a fresh burst of sobs.
Madge suddenly started as though
?'re had just, awakened to the fact that
she was listening to what was not in
tended for her ears, and with crimson
cheeks she stole away. But for the j
rest of the day, bright, merry Madg8
was very grave and thoughtful.
The exhibition day at Broughton
Academy arrived, and the big hall was
crowded with the parents and friends
of the pupiis. Among thejn was Mrs. j
Parks, in her well-worn black dress
and bonnet, and beside her a shabby i
looking little dried up man, with
shrewd, twinkling eyes, and thin, de- j
termined lips.
At length came the singing trial, and
the two girls, Madge, still smiling and j
perfectly at ease, and Loula, white as ;
death and trembling like a leaf,
ascended the platform.
Madge was to sing first, and took her
place by the grand piano. She looked
so bright and pretty as she stood there j
that a murmur of admiration went ,
through the audience. The professor ;
had decided that to give the girls an j
equally fair chance they should both
sing the same song, and the sweet j
Scotch one of "Annie Laurie" had
been chosen.
The opening bars were played and
Madge began to sing, and at once every ;
one was staring, while the girls looked ;
at each other in horrified amazement, i
What was the matter with the girl? i
Never had she sung so wretchedly;
she was simply murdering the song. It
was a relief to every one when the last
notes died away and a very faint ap- j
plause followed. Madge turned away 1
from the piano with crimson cheeks.
Her eyes filled with bitter tears of i
mortification for a moment, and her [
lips quivered, but, as she turned and j
faced the audience she bravely suppressed
all signs of emotion.
In the meantime Loula had taken her
place at the piano. She felt rather ;
dazed, but her heart was beating
quickly, and she had forgotten her ,
fright in the new hope which was ;
thrilling her. Madge had failed; it !
was in her power to win. She listened ;
to the opening cords without any nervousness
whatever, and the next moment.
her voice rang out clear, sweet, !
strong, as no one had ever heard before.
When the last, sweet, lingering note
died away there was a burst of en thus- i
iastic applause, and there could be no j
doubt as to who had won the prize, j
The girls all stared in amazement as j
Loula went down the long hall to re- j
ceive it. They could naraiy recognize i
their shy, pale schoolmate in this girl I
who, with crimson cheeks and spark- !
ling eyes, and that cloud of yellow hair,
was almost beautiful. There were only
two, however, who could fathom the
uepth of the joy throbbing in the girl's
heart.
And, when it was all over, Madge
went up to her, and kissed her.
"I am very glad you succeeded," she
said quietly.
"The color rushed in a hot tide all
over Loula's face and the* tears sprang
lo her eyes; she put out one hand tim-'
idly, to detain Madge, and her lips
parted as though she were about to 1
speak; but Madge turned quickly away
and in a few moments had left the j
school. When she was in the carriage i
whieh was to bear her away, to the (
consternation of her parents, she sud- I
ienly burst into tears.
Some seven years later a singer, of !
whom great things were prophesied,
made her debut at a concert in Paris. ,
She was a slender, pale-faced girl, with '
a mass of beautiful golden hair. As '
she came on the stage a pretty, brown- .
eyed young girl, evidently American, J
Nent forward in the audience with a
smothered exclamation. The next moment
she drew a lon^, deep breath as
the rich wonderful tones of the singer j
floated through the room.
There was a breathless hush until !
the last note died away, and then
tnunders of applause. In answer to
the enthusiastic encores the young j
singer came forward to sing again. As
she stood for a moment irresolute she j
happened to encounter those brown j
eyes fixed so eagerly upon her. A !
;juick change passed .over her face, i
tier blue eyes grew soft, and filled, for ;
i moment, with tears, then, in a voice
tremulous at first, she sang, as no one j
tiad ever heard it sung before, the :
sweet song "Annie Laurie."?Chaper- 1

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
A moment may be momentous.
The best way to get even is to
forget.
What the fool cannot appreciate he
depreciates.
More people try to learn by talking j
than by listening.
The world soon forgets a man who
rests on his laurels.
i
Failure is success if there is a grow- ;
ing intelligence in it.
He who thinks that "every man has j
his price," has his own.^ . . . j
The fellow who knows it all would
be a wonder if he could only con
vince other people of It.
If a few people did not "help themselves"
quite so freely, many others
would not need to be helped.
Life is a genial story of coincidences.
Success is the legitimate marriage of
Four possession to another's desire.
The faith which can move moun- ;
tains is always the faith which comes
with experience. It is the faith of maturity.
The faith of youth is exaltation.
I
Talk about "looking for opportune
[ties of doing good!" We may as well j
talk about looking for firewood in a 1
forest, or for water during a flood. The
world is full of such opportunities.
The world admires a man of balance,
one wha is equipoised, who is selfsufficient,
who believes in himself, 1
trusts himself, who does not cower,
whine or apologize, but who stands
erect and dares to live his own creed.
Missouri's Crowning Glory.
Maryville claims to have as many
young women with long, beautiful hair
as any town of Its size. The Tribune
published an interesting "story" about j
some of them last week. Miss Pearl
Briggs, a telephone operator, has hair
almost five fet long. Mrs. Chloe Craig,
Wire 01 Lrauttllll 1/ItUg, JUUge U1 LUC Ui' j
cuit court, has a mass of rich auburn i
tresses which, although she is tall,
reach to her shoe tops. Miss Kathar- j
ine Turner, who is a blonde, has hair
58 inches long, and it is so heavy that
she has not for several years been
able to dress it without help. Miss
Martha Smith's dark brown hair is
more than four feet long, and used to
be somewhat longer. Miss Clara Yaple's
"crowning glory" reaches below
her knees. None of these women recommend
any particular method of
growing long hair. Miss Brigg's was !
kept closely shingled till she was 10
years eld. Miss Turner combs her j
locks every night with the fine teeth
of a coarse comb. The notion that
long hair is incompatible with good
health receives little support from j
these Maryville women, most of whom j
aro well and strong.?Kansas City j

HEALTH ON THE ISTHMU9.
Disease Is Gradually Diminishing In
Panama.
The prospect of active work in connection
with the ship canal across the
Isthmus of Panama has directed attention
to the climate of the district,
in which engineering work of exceptional
difficulty will have to be undertaken.
The results are generally reassuring.
and with ordinary care a repetition
of the horrors that accompanied
the constructYm of the Panama
railway need not be feared. The
most noticeable feature in the temperature
factor is its constancy throughout
the year, the -monthly range
in the mean, being confined between
78.4 degrees and S0.1 degrees. The
daily range on the coast is from 63
degrees to 87 degrees, and in the interior
from 64 degrees to 94 degrees.
It is easy to see the effect of the
oceans in thus limiting the range of
temperature, but necessarily there is
an increase in the humidity which is
high throughout the year. There is
a great difference in the rainfall on
the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. About
140 inches may be anticipated on the
former, while only half that amount
will fall on the Atlantic side. From
January to April the fall is very slight
throughout tho isthmus, and therefore
several successive months of dry weather
can be counted upon, which cannot
but be of great advantage in the
engineering operations. Winds are
always light, and give no trouble.
Greater velocities than 20 miles an
hour are rarely met with.
The general health statistics are
not unfavorable. Recent inquiries
show that the mortality due to disease
of the climate has steadily diminished
since 1881, while the percentage of
deaths arising from European diseases
has not increased. Of the total
death rate, 01 per cent., is due to
chronic organic diseases common to
all countries and only 9 per cent, is
is chargeable to local effects. This
material improvement te due in some .
measure to the fact that the excavations
have reached a level below the
poisonous emanations of decaying organic
matter, while on the other hand,
greater sanitary precautions have
reduced the effects of yellow fever.
Colon has been practically free from
this scourge for some time, but improvements
in Panama are loudly demanded.
Too Much Talk of Birth.
When the Society of the Cincinnati
was formed there was the mostvyehement
opposition to the principles of
founding here an hereditary order.
There is less danger to-day of an aristocracy
of birth winning any real ascendency
in this land than there was
when the nation was Just breaking
away from the English tradition. But
there is to-day in some quarters an
unmistakable development of snobbery
which lays an absurd emphasis
on the circumstance of birth. A line
of worthy ancestors is an excellent
thing?if any ancient virtues have
been transmitted to the children. An
honored name is an enviable posses- ?
sion?when its living owner bears
himself worthily. Membership in an
hereditary patriotic order is possibly
an advantage?so long as it inspires
the member to serve his country today
in causes no less holy, though
maybe less heroic, than those which
his order commemorates. Other advantages
than these birth does not
confer.?Philadelphia Ledger.

PPY WOMEN
Thank Pe-ru-na for Their
Recovery After Years of
Suffering.
Miss Muriel Armitage, 36 Greenwood.
Ave.. Detroit, Mich., District Organizer
of the Koyal Templars of Temperance,
in a recent letter, says:
"I think that a woman naturally
shrinks from making her troubles public,
but restored health has meant so
much to me that 1 feel for the sake of
other suffering women it is my duty to
tell what l'eruna has done for me.
"I suffered for fire years with uterine
irregularities, which brought on hysteria
and made me a physical wreck. 1 tried
doctors from the different schools of
medicine, but without any perceptible
change in my condition. In my despair
1 called on an old nurse, who adnsed
me to try l'eruna, and promised good results
if i would persist and take it regularly."
I thought this was the least 1
could do, and procured a bottle. 1 knew
as soon as I began taking it that it was
affecting me differently from anything
I had used before, and so 1 kept on taking
it. I kept this up for six months,
and steadily gained strength and health.

Ferona cures catarrh of the pelvic organs
with the same surety as it cures
catarrh of the head. Peruna has become
renowned as a positive cure for
female ailments, simply because ihe ailments
are mostly due to catarrh. Catarrh
is the cause of the trouble. Peruna
cures the catarrh. The symptoms
I disappear.
If ill enough to go to bed, but she is far
om being able to do her work without
le greatest exhaustion. This is a very
imrnon sight, and is almost always due to
ilvic catarrh.
It is worse tnan foolish for so many
omen to suffer year after year with a disse
that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It
ires old chronic cases as well as a slight
tack, the only difference being in ths
ngth of time that it should be taken to
Feet a cure.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfac>ry
