Saturday Evening Post. Two weks passed, during which the rich New Yorker was a frequent visitor at the Bishop farmhouse. One evening John called when Arthur Morris was present, and Jessie introduced them. Arthur treated him with that airy tolerance which success grants to its vanquished. "By the way, Mr. Burt, said Arthur Morris, as he carelessly rolled a cigarette, "Miss Carden has accepted my invitation to attend clambake near Cohasset. I must accompany a party t f New York friends who will spend the night on my yacht, and attend the bake. We must start early, so I cant offer to escort Miss Carden. If I may presume Had Failed. I was troubled with a severe scalp humor and loss of hair that gave me a great deal of annoyance and Inconveni- I will meet you with my friends. I shall be more than pleased if Miss Carden will accept my escort," said John. "Certainly, I will," laughed Jessie. Arthur Morris remained a few minutes longer; then he gaily hade Jessie adieu, shook hands with John Burt, and rode away. CHAPTER EIGHT. The Tragedy. Churchill's Grove was famous for its clambakes, and when John and Jessie drove into it the scene was one to delight the heart of a loyal New Eng- lander. The cool, salt breeze from the ocean, the aroma from fir and pipe, and the odor from simmering clam and seaweed formed a trinity ambrosial enough to make an Apiclus of an anchorite. For an hour or more they walked along the hard, smooth sand, crunching the shells under their feet; the song of the sea in their ears, and its cool breath on their cheeks. Then the great gong sounded the signal for dinner and they turned to the grove. Mr. Morris must have been delayed, observed Jessie as she glanced sists of a revolving blotter mounted once more toward the harlior.

There are few common fish that have not a variety of names, and the Jerseyman's name for the orange is father appropriate, , The fish has somewhat the outtine as well as the cqlor of the fellow hag? iq, which smoked hams were once put up. . The .two specimens in the aquarium are the survivors out of four taken in Gravesend bay in June last. One of them Is yellow all over, the other Is brown In color over of the surface of Its body and of a bright light yellow over the remainder. The orange filefish is homely In as an ordishape and as nary flatfish, but unlike the flatfish in this respect, which swims flatwise, the filefish swims with its body edgewise in the water and commonly carrying its head more or less down. when not swimming It Sometimes drops its head so far that the fish seems to be standing on its bead in the water. Odd in shape as it is and odd in action, and withal bright colored, it is a very striking creature, and the two specimens of it here are among the most attractive of the aquariums exhibits. These two orange fileflshes are the first that have ever been carried here through the winter, making a record for the species in captivity. New York Sun. - thin-bodie- d d en-th- pen. Jersey Visitor Spies an Old Acquaintance in the Aquarium. "No. thank you. Very sorry, I am sure. His face grew dark, but his voice was quiet as he said: Tell Miss Carden of my disappointment, and say Ill call some day soon. Gen. Marshall Carden paid a visit to the farm a week later. After dinner he invited Jessie to a walk, and his manner told her that something was impending. They paused to rest under an arbor. For some moments both were silent. I have something to say to you, Jessie, which I wish could be left unsaid, began Gen. Carden, clearing his throat uneasily. Jessie looked into his face with questioning eyes.

John looked at the slip of paper in Jessies hand, and it appeared like a wedge about to separate them. And why should it not? What right had he to aspire to the love of Jessie Carden, the daughter of a rich man; beautiful beyond any woman he had ever seen? The fear, which ofttimes became a certainty that Jessie would pass beyond his reach, was the haunting terror of his dreams by day or night. She had everything youth, health, beauty, wealth and position. He had youth and health so bad the average farm laborer. Lets climb Strawberry Hill and watch the sunset. suggested Jessie. John helped Jessie up the steep, winding path, and they stood on the crest of the hill. The broad Atlantic lay to the east, and the bay glowed in the colors of a glorious sunset. At the horizon was a mass of clouds; above burned a bar of red the red of blood. To the zenith were spread the gorgeous tints with which the setting sun tinseled the closing curtains of night.

The causes, the modes ot scattering, and the prevention are all being studied, and an educational campaign is on to wipe out this ."white terror. The children suffer from tuberculosis of the bones, the bowels and ljniph glands. Tubercular meningitis is frequently found in early life and is uniformly fatal. Only by careful attention to tho food and daily habits can the rising generation be made immune from these varied forms of tuberculosis. The fact that over one half of all babies born die before they reach the age of five years, proves that the constitutional capital bequeathed them is small. Is the proper attention paid to the diet, exercise and life of the mother? If this were done, the child would undoubtedly have greater vitality and could by proper care and education live above the tuberculosis of childhood and of adult life. BANK BUILDING OF GLASS. Unique Home Planned for Institution at De Moines, Iowa. C. E. Eastman has submitted plans to the officials of the Des Moines national bank, for a building of classic design, to be built of glass after his new plan of glass construction. The building, as constructed, would he most unique and would be especially attractive with Us heavy columns of wire glass. Mr. Eastman's scheme of glass construction has provoked much comment throughout the country. The general plan follows; It consists ot a steel framework, suprorted by brackets attached to the beams qf the floors, in duplicate, making two walls of opalescent wire glass, the glass being set in the steel framework. The glass walls are approximately a foot apart, making an insulating dead air space to prevent loss of beat in Cause and Cure of Gastric Catarrh. Chronic congestion of the stomach, known as gastric catarrh, is usually caused by one ot the following errors, or by all of them put together: Eating too much or too fast; swallowing food insufficiently masticated; the use of such coarse foods as cabbage, greens, etc.; mustard, peppersauce, and other condiments and ginger spices; pastry containing animal fats; free fats, which lodge in tlie stomach and remain there a long time; pork, griddle cakes and burned fats these are the things that produce gastric catarrh. Ths first and most necessary step in the treatment of this disease is to remove the cause of the trouble. We may induce activity of the skin by hot applications followed by cold or hot bath followed by a short application of cold; fomentations followed by a short cold application to the These treatments are usestomach. ful, but the most important factor is the regulation of the diet. A fruit diet is best, tor the reason that in gastric catarrh there is a great accumulation of germs, which are destroyed by diet of fruit Juice. A toasted bread, zwieback, granose biscuit, etc., is also useful in these cases. d interior of a slaughter-house- , however, is Bald to have proved too much for their powers of The Chicago Record states that a party of fifteen Elackfoot Indians recently visited the killing room of Armour's plant.

The abominable practice of wearing long skirts for the street is dying out. Pretty as tt is to see a summer diess - negligently trailed over a smooth lawn jeweled with daisies, the sight of a woman dragging her gown in the street, sweeping up the filth, and collecting millions of microbes, is a revolting spectacle; and yet with a long skirt the only alternative lw to hold it up a practice which induces cramp in the arm, as well as cold fingers in winter, and gives a decidedly ungt aceful walk and attitude. A Cure for Cold Feet. excellent aud simple remedy cold! for cold feet is the application-owater. Step into the bathtub, let the cold water run in a little faster than It runs out. Standing In the water, rub one foot with the other, rapidly ten or twelve times. Then change and. treat tlie other foot in the same man" rer. Keep up this alternate rubbing for about three minutes. The feet will have become very red, and as you step out of the water, you will find them burning and glowing with the warm blood brought into them by this An f means.

The arrangements for Tangshan. those anxious to benefit by their healing properties are very primitive. A row of twenty to thirty wooden boxes jtbe size of an ordinary packing case is ranged beside the road. In these sit bathers of every age and both sexes, with their beads protruding. Attendants with buckets continually refill the boxes from the springs. For less luxurious bathers there Is accommodation In a pool which has been dug out close by. In this they squat, scooping up the water and pouring It over their heads with brass basins. It Is curious to reflect that establishments like Homburg and have had their origin In such beginA nings. Training the Bkin. The usual effect of a draft of cold, air upon the hack of the neck Is a cold and a sore throat. Many years ago an eminent Dr. Brown Sequard, French physician, devised a means by , which sore throat from this cause might be prevented. By blowing upon the back of the neck with a pair of bel-- 1 lows. Increasing the time each day, he trained his patients until they could endure this treatment for half an hour without Injury. It Is not necessary to be exposed to a draft of air on the back of the neck In order to obtain this result By means of the cold bath, the rub, the shower bath, towel friction, etc., the skin may be educated to contract on the slightest Increase of cold. Dally exposure to the contact of cold air Is of the utmost importance.
