After this Susy and the doctor met much more frequently for Susv being released from the necessity of such close confining work, went more frequently into society when she invariably met the doctor; she also met him quite often at t lie bedside of the sick, and so the friendship grew and strengthened, but no bint did Susy receive of the determination he had arrived at as he sat in his office months before. It happened one evening at a social gathering, where truth to tell. Dr. Warner had gone w ith the sole purpose in view of seeing Susy, that a young man making a very "flippant and irreverant remark an the subject of religion, was sharply reproved by an elderly gentleman present, when almost unconsciously the conversation drifted into c.n argument pro and con. as to the Providence of God. Dr. arner stood by, making no comment and listening intently, when suddenly turning, the elderly gentleman alluded to, asked his opinion. T do not believe, said he in his slow quiet way, that there is any such thing as Providence or that there is any God in the sense that you gentlemen have intimated. Wlmt you are pleased to call Providence is merely chance and the rest is Sudden silence fell superstition. on the group at this bold avowal, when the young man who was the cause of the conversation, and who was notoriously last said, Oh come now doctor thats too bad of you, Im not such a heathen as that my sell, for I'm sure I lielievejthere is a God, though I dont know Jinuch about ills Providence. Glancing up at this instant Dr. Warner caught Susy Kemp's gaze fastened upon him in consternation and amazement; looking him squarely in the eye she said, The tool hath 6aid in his heart there is no and you Mr. Brown turning God, suddenly to that young man Dost thou believe in God. the devils also believe and tremble, then turning to the group by whom she was surrounded resumed the interrupted conversation. As for Dr. AVarner if a bomb shell had exploded at his feet, he could have been no more astonished or confounded, and ulthough no more was said upon the subject, the words clung to him, followed him homeand came persistently to his mind on all possible occasions. Poor Susie! alone in her room that evening she asked herself some very searching questions and made some a mong ind undertaker, but the butcher the very humiliating discoveries, stood out these which that boldly, candle-sticler and the maker, us she had . given her heart unsought to s 41.

I did not dare come that way for the call was very urgent, it proved though to be a very tritling sickness after all. Thus dismissing thecase from mind they turned homeward, but for some reason the gay spirits and merry conversation which they had indulged in on the outward trip seemed to have deserted them and each was silent and As they neared the vicinity of the old mill Susy said, What a beautiful dace this is, 1 have heard so much of the beauty of the scenery about here hut was never leloro fortunate enough to drive this way; the lieautv of the place certainly justifies all the raptures I have heard. it certainly Yes, said thedoctor is very lovely, but wait till we reach the brow of that hill yonder and I w ill show you the best iew, or w hat I consider so. 1 invariably stop there when going this way and see new beauties eaeh time.

Susy turned her evesinthedireciton indicated nnd gazed long and earnestly at what seemed to her to be the most beautiful scene shehad ever beheld. Words seemed too poor to express her feelings; at length she murmured How grand, nndturning to the doctor for sympathy she met his eyes fastened upon her in such an earnest maimer that she dropped her own in confusion, while blushes mantled cheek and brow and the scenery was forgotten. Mrs. Kemp, Susy, said he in his musical voice, I have loved you for two years but after the rebuke you gave me once upon a time I dared not confess it to you, but I want to tell you Susy dear, that that rebuke administered so braveLas ly by you brought me only blessing; now that the barrier is removed may I not hope for your love, Oh Susy darling he said ns he took her unresisting hand, do you not love me, will you not be my THINGS IMMORTAL after his first trip. Again discovering human footprints, the enptain and his crew followed them, nnd after a few hours search came upon the object of their search near the center of the island, seated on the around, engaged in removing the blubber from a seal with a knife made of hone. Two of the sailors walked soltlvup behind the unsuspecting woman, while (.apt. Nedever stepped around in front of her. Instead of exhibiting surprise or alarm, the woman met Nidever and the others w ith a smile, and other demonstrations of pleasure and readily accompanied them to the boat. In appearance she was above the medium height, ot rather a lair complexion nnd pleasant eountenanee. Her hair, originally black, was bleached to a reddish brown by exposure to the elements. She was about 32 years of age. Beverul of theoldest Indians on the coast were brought to sect lie woman, but with none could she converse, her eighteen years of solitude evidently having caused her to forget Iter language, although she had recourse to the sign language, by which slieniade her wants known. In this way she explained that her child had been eaten by the wild dogs, a peculiar species of which lived on the island. The woman lived at Sant a Barbara hut a few weeks when she became ill, presumably because of a change of diet, nnd died. Her dress, made ot leathers, so arranged as to shed water, was sent to Home, together with various trinkets nnd implements of her manufacture. The pure, th Lricht. the heanti,'ul.

About eighty miles off the coast of Ventura county, California, lies the low, sandy island of San Nicolas an island about ten miles long by four miles in width, and an island with a history. On this bleak and desolate island no trees or shubbery of any kind are to be found, although evidence remains that at one time the island was well wooded. A species of ice plant and alfileria grow somewhat luxuriantly on certain portions of e the island, and an enterprising flock of a sheep pastures large upon it, but be cannot rightfully lay claim to any part of the island, as it is included within the boundaries of Ventura county and is reserved by the government for lighthouse pur- I am afraid, says Oliver Wendell Holmes in the January Atlantic, that old people found life rather a dull business in the time of King David and his riili old subject and friend, Barzillai, who, poor man, uould not have told a tea! from a nor enjoyed a symif they had those concert, phony luxuries in liis day.

In point of fact, however, an expedition of the kind 1ms but little to recommend it, and to a certain degree reminds one of wagers made by foolish individuals to swallow a given number of hard eggs without drinking, or to go a given number of days without eating nnd so forth. The journey undertn ken by the young American lady is wholly devoid of scientific interest and can offer no charm to the traveler. It is simply a matter of calculation and of railway nnd steamer guides. Sitting in ones own home, it is easy to make calculations of this nature and to map out ones journey on paper. In executing the plan afterward theonly anxiety the traveler round the world basis not to miss a boat or train; is no hitch in this nnd provided direction, the feat can bo easily accomplished, unless perchance an occurs en route, or tho traveler is detained a few hours by a sudden attack of illness. For a wager, of course, enterprises of the kind mny be undertaken; but with all tho facilities for a rapid tour nrourul the world afiorded by railways, steamers and other means of transit, it is a foregone conclusion that the traveler will accomplish the journey unless some unforsecn accident interrupt it.

Almost every family lias a list of remedies to be used for certain diseases or pains and aches but there are none more easily obtainable and used than hot water. Halls Journal of Health enumerates some instances in which it is of great benefit.

A towel folded several times and dipped in hot water and quickly wrung and applied over the tooth-uch- e or neuralgia will generally afford prompt relief. This treatment in colic works like magic. There is nothing that so promptly cuts short a congestion of the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as hot water when applied promptly uml thoroughly. Tepid water ucts promptly as an emetic, nnd hot water taken freely half an hour before bed time is tho best cathartic possible in the case of constipation, while it has a most soothing effect upon the bowels. This treatment, continued a few months, with proper attention to diet, will cure any case of curable dyspepsia. Headache almost always yields to the simultaneous application of hot water to the feet and the back of the neck of a child neck. One Way to Amuse the Baby. Wulbridge surprised his baby Sunday night.

The fashions of 1890 may challenge all degrees Of criticism, but we shall find by inves. tigation that thpy were surpassed by oddities in the former centuries, nnd that many of our current novelties are only coppied in a tame way of what has gone before.
