The bereaved ones I leave to Grayton. He’s just splendid wherever there is trouble.” “Have some of them lost their friends?” Esther asked, quickly. “Unfortunately, yes. One poor creature is heart-broken over the loss of her sister. Then one of the boats that was lowered has not been heard of since.

But there are a large number of peo- ple who get tnin, or remain thin, who naturally would be plump and fleshy but for. some digestive derangement. Thin people lack in adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of fat. “ 4 Fat is derived from the oily constit- uents of food. The fat-making foods are called by the physiologist, hydrocarbons.

She did not won- der that he felt bitter toward all women. She hoped in time he would get over it, and that some other heir- ess would come his way. It seemed the only means by which the ancient glories of Mawgan Chase could be re- stored. For the moment, however, she felt thankful that his antipathy to wom- en remained. During the early part of the night she had spent an hour or two with Marion, and she had been impressed by her youth and beauty. But she had been equally impressed by the cut and quality of her clothing. Certainly her dress was not such as an English lady of any position would wear. Judging by the dripping gar- ments that were taken into the kitch- en to dry, she might have been born and bred in the country and made her own clothes. Now, according to present appear- ances, this young woman would be in the house for an indefinite time. When she was able to get downstairs Clement would be thrown into her company. Taking into account the fact that he had been largely instru- mental in saving her life, the situation was almost romantic. Hence, if he were in an impressionable mood, there might be danger. Young men were “It's a sad calamity,” Mrs. Mawgan remarked, after a pause. “The fortunate thing is she carried so few passengers,” was the reply; “hence the loss of life will not be great, even if the missing boat never turns up.” “But think of the loss of property.” “That does not trouble me for the moment. But how is your patient?” “Very bright, on the whole. A little nervy,” Esther answered. “I’m mak- ing her my special care.” “Have you communicated with her friends yet?” “Not yet. In fact, she has not men- tioned them. I have an idea she has no near relatives.” “Is she English?” “I think not. She speaks with a distinctly American accent, rather pretty on the whole. Her voice is re- fined—almost musical, and she has the most glorious eyes you ever saw.” “Oh, never mind her eyes,” he said shortly. “What you have to do is to find out who her friends are. We must get into communication with them without any unnecessary delay, or we may get blamed.” “I don’t want to worry her yet about anything,” Esther replied. “She is evidently in considerable pain, though she never mentions the fact. When she is a little more recovered it will be time enough to question her.” (To Be Continued.) METHOD OF PERSUASION.

J. Taylor. The most I want to dois to set she farmers to thinking, to take the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur- poses. Therefore, the fats are not di- gested or emulsified, and the system is deprived of its due proportion of oily constituents. Hence, the patient grows thin. The beginning of the trouble is a ca- tarrhal condition of the stomach which causes hyperacidity of the gastric juices. This hyperacidity is caused by fermentation of food in the stomach, When the food is taken into the stom- ach, if the process of digestion does not begin immediately, acid fermenta- tion will take place. This creates a hyperacidity of the stomach juices which in their turn prevent the pan- creatic digestion of the oils, and tho emaciation résults, A dose of Peruna before each meal hastens the stomach digestion. By hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents fermentation of the contents of the stomach, and the pancreatic juiceis thus preserved in its normal state. It then only remains for the patient to eata sufficient amount of fat-forming foods, and the thinness disappears and plump ness takes its place. The Latest. Where did the flamingo? see the sunfish.

Therefore, all things consid- ered, it was very fortunate that Clem- ent still cherished the feelings he did toward women. It would be nothing less than a calamfty if he were to fall in love with an unknown and pen- niless girl. CHAPTER V. A Full Day. Clement was very late in getting ing story, which hails from a Noth country town, that there are widely varying ideas in existence as to what constitutes voluntary testimony on any subject, says Tit-Bits, “Did I understand you to say that this boy voluntarily confessed his share in the mischief done to the school house?” asked the magistrate, addressing, the determined looking fe- male parent of a small and dirty boy charged with being concerned in @ condition of pastures in general. Some will be low, wet and marshy, with nothing but coarse grass; others with part dry land eaten so close there seems to be nothing left, and then there is the upland pasture that is covered with weeds, so much so, that the grass will not grow to any extent. Now how long would it take a man with a pair of shears to clip enough grass for a cow a day in some of these pastures?

Forget my hus- band—cut off in his prime by—by—oh, dear, I try not to grow bitter! But— but——” and she began to wipe her eyes with an embroidered pocket- handkerchief. “Anyhow, the poor girl upstairs has nothing to do with our misfortunes,” Esther said, valiantly. “Of course she hasn’t,” Mrs. Maw- gan faltered. “I could not suggest such a thing for a moment, and yet the mere mention of her name will be a pain to me.” “Oh, well, it will not be for long, mother,” Clement said, consolingly. “She will disappear, no doubt, as sud- denly as she came, and we shall forget get !

Their lug- gage was at the bottom of the sea, their friends in various parts of the country ignorant of their fate, and they themselves intensely anxious to get into communication with them. The nearest railway station was six miles away, and the small telegraph office was quite unequal to the de- mands made upon it. Clement and Grayton placed their services at the disposal of any one and every one who might need assistance. The curate was indefatigable. He seemed to grasp the needs and com- plexities of the situation more quick- ly and completely than Clement did, but the latter made an excellent sec- ond. All his apathy and cynicism dis- appeared as if by magic. The needs of the moment appealed to the best side of his nature. The very helpless- ness of many of the shipwhecked pas- sengers called into play his latent chivalry and generosity. He was too poor to render monetary help, but he gave his services freely and unstint- edly. Never did hours pass so quickly as those he spent in the service of oth- a little, and then he told me the whole thing voluntarily.” “How did you persuade him?” que- ried his worship. “Well, first I gave him a good lick- ing,” said the firm parent, “and then I put him to bed without supper, and I took his clothes away and told him he’d stay in bed till he confessed what he’d done, if twas the rest of his days, and I should lick him again in the morning. And in less than half an hour he told me the whole story voluntarily!” THOUGHT IT WAS ELIZA. Which Put the Crowd Wise and Caus- ed a Laugh. Tired and dusty the excursion was returning from a holiday trip and Simkins, a little bald man with big ears, overcome with his day of happi- ness, dropped off to sleep. In the hat- rack above another passenger had de- posited a ferocious crab in a bucket, and when Simkins went to sleep the crab woke up and, finding things dull in the bucket, started exploring. By careful navigation Mr. Crab reached the edge of the rack, but the next mo ment down it fell, alighting on Sim- kins’ shoulder. Not feeling quite safe it grabbed the voluminous ear of Sim- kins to steady itself and the passen- gers held their breath and waited for out some night and get in the garden, or where there was plenty of feed, and see what an increase there was in the flow of milk? Now, that is just the condition our pastures should be in all summer, having an abun- dance of good feed and then you would see what a profit there would bein cows. When the pasture is not eaten close there is a great deal more feed grown on that same land. Take a pasture that has more feed for a year or two than the stock could eat and we can keep more stock on that same land, and have plenty of feed, than we can when it is eaten close every year. Care of Farm Machinery. — The farmers of this country buy annually over $100,000,000 worth of farm ma- chinery. There is perhaps no other source of loss so great to them as that produced by the way they care for their machinery. According to state- ments made by different manufactur- ers, the farmer would not have to buy over one-half of this amount of ma- chinery, providing he took the proper care of it. As a general rule, the prosperity of a farmer may be estimat- ed by the way he cares for his ma- chinery. Poor care indicates shiftless- ness, waste, lack of energy, and the buying of more implements in a short time. Good care, on the other hand, PACING Tir Y _A great deal of money is being made by the breeding of Angora rab- bits.

The Zambesi falls are two miles wide, four times the width of Niagara. In order to preserve the relative proportions of the latter the African falls should therefore be four times its height, or 632 feet. Its real height of 420 feet is less than three times that of Niagara. This changes its relative proportions decidedly and not in a way to increase {ts impressiveness.
