There was a nose of something metallic falling. Hullo! cried the doctor. Whats that? And, regardless of the consequences to his clothes, he began to grope among the shattered remains of the flooring. In a few seconds he looked up again, flushed and grimp, but triumphant. He held in his hand a conical shaped piece of lead.

Long before the service was over there were sounds of lamentation and Vailing from many of those present, and several were compelled to quit the church from the violence of their emotion. At last It was over and the numer pus and variously compounded congregation broke up. After partaking of a frugal meal, Ted sat down to await the arrival of Br. Cartwright. He hoped that nothing unforeseen would occur to cause him to put off his visit, for he was beginning to rely a good deal upon the energetic little man, who had shown himself at once shrewd and kindly In his dealings with him. He could scarcely believe he had met him yesterday for the first time and here he became aware of a brisk and familiar votce below. "How do you find yourself Mrs. Jinman, and hows your lodger? Hope you're looking after him well; giving him plenty of new laid eggs and cream and that sort of thing? Theres nothing like good living to soften the effect of a bereavement. Ted heard the voice gradually mounting the stairs and the next moment the doctors head was put inside the door. was his greeting, "there "Hullo! you are. Well, how are you getting on?" Ted said that he felt pretty well. Glad to hear it, was the next remark, as the maker of It allowed the rest of his body to follow his head. "By the by, saw you In church this morning.

Not bad quarters for a bachelor? His visitor expressed approval of his surroundings, which certainly were well worthy of the appellation "snug" bestowed upon them by their owner. At the same time there was an air of compactness, of severe attention to detail, which was suggestive of the fact that the present occupant had, at one time or other, been restricted In the matter of elbow room. "Yes, Im pretty comfortable," the doctor went on. Fve got a very good housekeeper, on the whole. Her chief fault Is that she's so confoundedly suspicious! the other, 'Suspicious!

But I belong to neither category!" " said the young man. Surely My dear boy, cut In the other, as a young man you are likely to possess female relatives a sister or a cousin or an aunt, either of whom might eventually prove dangerous to my peace of mind. Ted Burrltt actually laughed, to the little man's great satisfaction, as the Idea presented Itself to him of his sister May as a possible aspirant to the position of Mrs. Jeremiah Cartwright. In less that a moment, however. the laugh had died away, and a corresponding expression of despondency settled down npon hia features. 'He thinking of that Inquest thought the doctor, and his father's body lying in the vestry. I must get him out of that groove again. Here starting to his feet come and have a walk round my premises before It gets dark! He took him out through the surgery, and showed him a neat little domain, which was divided into portions, in which grew, respectively, flowers, fruit and vegetables. At the bottom was a fowl run and a very small circular pond, about the size of an ordinary wash-hanbasin, in which paddled a solitary duck, who, as soon as he caught sight of the doctor, forsook his favorite element, and came waddling towards him, quacking loudly. "He seems to know you," said Ted. (To be continued.) - of the burial service, as one by one the Collins were lowered, and the first spadeful of earth cast upon them. Ted Burrltt stood bareheaded beside his new friend, the doctor. Suddenly there was a commotion among the crowd at a little distance and he beard a sharp cry. Then the crowd opened, as though to make way for some one, and he saw a young man leading a figure In black, whom he recognized as the widow, whose hopeless grief he had before been a wit ness of, but who now was clinging to the arm of tho youth who supported her, and seemed as though her sudden Joy were almost more than she tho hospitals of an Eastern city. His eyesight was rather bad, and he bad come in the hope of securing relief, lie was turned over to a young doc tor, who adjusted a large frame In front of the patients eyes and placed In it a couple of strong magnifying glasses. He then held a printed card some distance away. "Can you read that? he asked. No, sir, replied the old man. The doctor then put In stronger glasses and brought the card nearer. Well, he inquired, "can you read It now? The old fellow shook hia head, saying, No, not a word. After repeating this performance several times the doctor was about to turn him over In despair to his more experienced superior, when the old man quietly explained: "You see, doctor, I never learned to read. CARE OF THE BODY How to Acquire and Retain the Priceless Possession of Good Health How to Ventilate. With the advent of the cold weather the doors and windows are closed, largely shutting out the purifying Influences of the fresh air which has so freely circulated through the house during the warmer season. The rude habitations of our pioneer ancestors, with their capacious open fireplaces, were superior to our modern palatial dwellings in that there was always possible an abundant supply of fresh air. Houses of the present day In our civilized land are made as nearly air-tig- o I as architectural skill can secure, and unless provided mechanical with some systematic means of ventilating, the Indoor air Is constantly contaminated with breath poisons and other Impurities resulting from the heating and lighting and cooking within the house, so as to be a constant menace to the health of the Inmates. Probably the best means of providing the needed supply of fresh air. Is chimthe open fire with a wlde-mout-h The open ney to act as ventilator. grate is likewise the most healthful means of heating a house; although bo far as fuel alone Is concerned, It is not the most economical. Weighed in the balance with the saving in health, however, it may be considered a matter of economy. If other means of heating be cm ployed, good ventilation can be secured only by some special arrangement for the Incoming of fresh air and the outgoing of foul air. How this may be well accomplished la best told In the words of a well known authority on the subject: 'The foul air outlet should be constructed on the plan of the fireplace an opening near the floor connected with the chimney or an upright ventilating shaft, the top of which should extend above the roof like a chimney. The ventilating shaft should always be located In an Inside wall, and, If possible, should be placed next to a chimney which Is always warm. The chimney heats the duct and Increases the draft The opening for the outlet of impure air should be at the bottom of the room when tho house Is heated by a furnace or by other means which warms the fretsh air before It is admitted to the rooms. If the fresh air outlet is admitted cold, the foul-ai- r should be at a higher level. The best point Is perhaps at about four feet from the floor. This will secure a thorough admixture of the air. If the outlet is at the floor, the cold fresh air admitted to the room will pass out before It has been warmed and used, while the hot foul air will accumulate In the upper part of the room, and thus the change of air will be Imperfect. Two openings must be provided to secure proper ventilation, one for tho entrance of fresh air, the other for the exit of foul air. It Is In every air should be way better that the heated, at least partially, before It enters the room, as this will to large degree prevent the formation of a cold layer about the floor."

Qualn, In his Medical Dictionary, art bltr&rlly defines advanced life as the and eighty-twperiod between slxty-twand the time of old age beyond But the infirmities of that period. age are measured, not so much by length of days ns by the Integrity of the bodily functions, and the soundness of the organic structures. The question, IIow much work Is normal and rational for each? must be answered according to the past life and present condition of each Individual old man or woman. For most old people, however, there Is no employment better than work In a garden In which they have some commercial Interest. Money, honestly earned and wisely spent, promotes health. The hoeing, weeding, trimming, gathering and marketing of the fruits and vegetables or flowers; the open air life, exercise in the sunshine among growing things; the healthy stimulus of planning the work, studying and talking to others of the best methods of gardening what Is most profitable to plant In that region, how the land should be fertilized, and where and when to sell the products all this keeps the mind active. Poultry raising and bee culture are also employments well adapted for those advanced In life who need ts make work remunerative. The main points for the aged tc consider are: To avoid disease and prematnre failure of strength, not by Increase of food and stimulants, as li often advised, but by cutting down and simplifying the diet in proportion to the decreased w ear and tear of tl sue, so that the Intake will not exceed the output; to still maiutaln an Interest In current thought and activities, and to select some occupation suited to their physical strength and their previous training and skill. The secret of a healthy, useful, old age Is to know how to wear out lifes waning energies normally, not to exhaust them prematurely by overwork, or, worse still, waste thorn by the rusting of needless Inactivity, There would seem to be little need in old age of destitution and dependence on the county, were all the working classes to plan for a home in the country and a few acres of land, by saving money uselessly spent for such There are too many Esans who their birthright of health or mess of pottage, and It Is difficult to realize how much of the suffering and humor of life is due to not having learned to do without In the matter of eating and drinking." sell 111 Temper Powders. Sir Brunton, a famous English physician end surgeon, Is quoted by a special London cable to the New York Herald as recommending temper powder, consisting of bromide of potash and other drugs, which should be taken whenever one Is subjected to "some Irritating occurrence, " or "some depressing news. to take away the sting of cither, so that In the place of being much worried and unable to turn attention to other things, a person feels as If he had slept over the bad newa or worry, and Is able to obtain relief by turn-In- g his attention to something else." According to this dispatch. Sir Lauder Rrunton recommends the temper powders" as a means of preventing "those constant explosions of temper on the part of a member of the family." which "may affect the henlth of the other members, who have their appetites spoiled, their digestion Impaired. their nerves shattered, and their pleasures In life destroyed by the mental suffering Induced by the For Irritable temper of another. there patients the best treatment. Is to administer 'temper powders' to the offending person, when the distressing symptoms of the other members of the family will he relieved." This la. Indeed, an easy wny out of trouble; but It Is a dangerous expo-dlen- t, and In the end will only make worse trouble, for the effects of bromide of potash and other stupefying drugs are to leave the subject In a state of Increased Irritation when the effects have worn off. In order to rure bad temper, then, by this plan, the only effertlvo method would be to keep the patient under the constant Influence of th bromide of potash, or opium, or some other drug.

Shut your mouth. Breathe through your nose. Never allow yourself, says a medical writer, unless positively necessary, to breathe through your mouth. The nose Is made to breathe through. It Is provided with hairs to sift the dust out of the air. It is pro vlded with warming plates (turbinated bones) to temper the air. It is provided with apparatus for furnishing moisture to the air. AH of this is quite essential before the air Is drawn Into the lungs. Breathe through the nose. Shut your mouth. Man Is a talking animal. He talks so much be forgets how to breathe through his nose.
