In an I'kist I'-lnd mission wiis held one iiieht a week a "Happy Hour for Child- ren," says the author of "Sc\en Years Hard," in the course of whii-n friendly competitions were held in singing, dancing and games. Small moni^y prizes ami ribbons were given the "champions." One evening it happened that t.vo girls, tU)nnle and Hilda, were opp >s- ed in the singing contest. Conni'S father was otit of work, and th.re was great ilistress at hir home. 'I'lie little ones wore crying for food, and their parents were lialf-crn/.y with worry and hunger. The "Htti'liy Hour" chiblren knew this, but lh.> curate did not. The.v manifested M'e most intense inlorest, buzzing li e so many Hies when tlie two girls sli^piied upon the platform. There was not the slightest doll )t of the superiority of Hildas voice. She sang In a clear, correct soprano. Connie, oil the otTer hnn'l, wliose voice would have been inferior at any time, was further hindered b.v a severe cold, so that she broke down twice and was croaky and Ihroaiy. Yet when the children were naked ;<' vote, with one accord they shoiitol. "Cdtiiiiei " "Ymi should vole for the Ktrl who sang best not the one you li';e best," said the ciirnle. "We W'M vote again.

"Hut, my 'tear children, Connie broke down twice." That made no dilTorence. ITiey shouted, "l^onnie!" and only "C.)n- nie!" and would not have Hilda .':t any price.

"Lov-ol.v!" exciaimcd a little gi:l in a front seal. "Now they'll have something to eat at her house!" Then the curate understood and ap- preciated the biased judgment of his Hock â€" a judgment in which the di>- feated Hilda entirely conciiired. MEMORIAL TO DICK KING. Natal Hero Who Saved a Garrison Sis-ty Years Ago. Kalnl is considering the erection of a suiiable memorial to L>ick King wlio saved a lirilish gai rison from destruction in the Hoer war of over sixty jenrs ago by an heroic ride of more than (500 miles, says the Daily Mail. Captain Smith, wilh a small IJrit- ish force, had inarched overhind to Durban in 1812, and there his troop.s Were' defeated by I'retorius, and Were in danger of Iving conipellc-d to surrender, stales the Capo Times. On Mcy '2't, seeing that his troops Were surrounded, he determined at all hazards to send a message to (iraluimslown asking for reinforce- ments. Mr. Cate, an old Natal pioneer, olTercd to get the message sent, and at midnight he saw Hichard King, an exp.-rt horseman and hunter, of Durhan. Iving consente<i to take the message. Captain Smith provid- ed him with two horses, and Mr. Cale rowed him across the bay to tile Hluir, where his famous ride be- gan. liiding his hor.ses alternately. he reachi'd and had crossed the Umlazi River by daybreak. He was now safe from pursuit by the Hocrs, but a long and perilous ride through a savage country lay before him. On the nintii day after leaving Durban he rode into (Irahamstown utterly exhausted, having coverc-d 600 miles and crossed numerous riv- ers, over some of which he had to swim. IJrgc-nt messages were sent to the Cape, »tid thirty-one days later rockets and blue lights from the Southampton in I>urban Hay told the anxious garrison, then on the jioint of surrendering, that re- lief had arrived. DEADLY ANAEMIA. Leads to Consumption Unless Promptly Cured. Man.y a ytning life might be saved from consumption if simple anaemia Were promptly treated. Anaemia is the doctors' name for weak, watery blood. When the blood is in this coiiilltion the lungs have no strength. The whole system begins to break down. Then the growing girl slips slowly into decline, until at last the cough starts and her doom is sealed. Dr. Williams' I'ink Tills can cure all weak, anaemic people without doubt or difUculty. The.v actually make new, rich, health giving blood â€" they cure anae- mia and prevent consumption. This has been proved in thousands of eases. Mrs Edvvaril Cochran, Mer- riton. Out.. says; â€" "I>r. Williams' I'iuk I'ills cured my daughter Ma- tilda, when I felt that her ca.se was almost hopeless. For more than a .vear she was a sufferer from anae- mia. She gradually grew weak, was siib.ieit to violent headache, ond darii circles appeared under her eyes. .She was melancholy, had no appe- tite and eoniplaiiied of being con- staiitl.' tired. At dllYerent times she was treated by two doctors, but Willi MO improvement. As her case progressed, she was attacked by vio- lent palpilaiion of the heart, and a siiffoealing shortness of breath. She had a deathly pallor, took cold .easily, and continued to decline in weight, imtil T fi'lt thilt she was in a hopeless decline. At this time mv altenlidii was called to Dr. Wil- liams' I'ink I'ills, and 1 began giv- ing Ihin to her. .She had not been taking the pills manv weeks when her appetite was greatly improved, and this was the lirst sig-ii thnt they Were helping her. .She continiie<l the pills until she had taken eight or nine boxes, whi-n she was again the picture of healthy girlhood. Every syini>loni of her trouble had disap- peared, she has increast>d in weight, and is strong and robust. Her re- covery is looked upon as marvollous, for Iho doctors thought h. r case hopeless." Dr. Williams' I'ink Tills will cure any rase of bloodlessness just as surel.v as they cured this case. The pale, anaemic need only one thing â€" new blood. Dr. Williams' Tink I'ills do only <me tliinir â€" the.v make new. rich, life-givinu blood That is why Dr. Williams' Tink Tills cure all eoininon diseases like anaemia, head- aches and backaches, indisrestion, kidney trouble, palpitntion of the heart, neuralgia, nervous troubles, and those special ailments that make the lives of so many growing girls an<l w<imen iniseraMo.

THE Man Who Weighed the World- He Was One of the Shyest of Men. In a few days the house once occu- pie<l by Henry Cavendish on t- lap- ham Common, London, Knglund, wiU have been sold, the great garden will probably veri soon be made a dump- ing ground for bricks and mortar, says T. T's. Weekly, and the abode of one of the shyest of men will be o])en, in its downfall, to the pub'-c gaze. Cavendish, so far as wo have any record. Was only ill on. e in Irs life, and that illness killeil him at the respectable age of 71). He told his physician that "any prolongation of life would only pro- long its miseries,' and he died, as he had livetl, alone. For the ordin ary human relations of life he seemed to caro nothing; ho was absorbed in his experiments, and loved his boo s and his laboratory more than anv- thing else on earth. Henry Caven- dish, who has been called "the mod- ern Newton," was born in 1731, on'y four years after Newton's death, fe was educatetl at a private school at Hackney, from which ho passed to Teterhouse, Cambridge, which he left throe years later without a degre". Thereafter he was a man of scienc; devoting his whole life to experimen- tal philosophy. "The man who weighed the world " wrote Henry Cavendish's cousin, the late Duke of Devonshire, "burii-d his science and his ftcalth in soIituHe at t^lapham." His science, however, he did not bury, for he published to the world certain facts which placed hirr, in the first rank of experimental phi' osophers. It was he who converted oxygen and hydrogen into water, ar.J. proved that it consists of these ga.ses; it was ho who first stated the diHeronce between animal a"d com- mon eli-ctricity, and it was ne who, by a course of ingenious experiments weighed the world. •'ovendiBh bad no vanity; he carel for no one's praise, avoided society and was, as one must suppose, a'l unhappy man. For monoj he cared little; up to his foj'lielh year he was comparatively poor, probably hav- ing an annual income of no more than i'500, but in 1773 an uncle died who left him an enormous for- tune. Of that he spent very little, he was one of tlu)se rare men who have no idea of the value of money. His personal nei-ds were very sim[>li>. ami ihc fact that ho was rich never seems to have struck him os a mat Icr of interest. Cavendish had two houses, the onn on Clapham Common, to which I have referrtxl, aad another near tl..' lirilish Mu.seum, at the corner of (iower street and Montague place. He had few visitors, but his librarv was at the service of an.v one who cared to uso it. Yet, so anxious was ho to bo undi.sturbe<l that he hired a house in Dean street in which to at- commodalo his books, and paid a librarian to look after them. When ho wanted to refer to his books be went around as th<>ugh to a circulat- ing librar.v. and loft a receipt for whatever ho took awayâ€" an admira- ble idea, which should bo encouragj^! nowaila.vs. His house at Clapham wos practi- cally a work.shop: the upper roonv^ were converted into an observator.v the drawing room â€" Cavendish had no use for drawing rooms â€" was a laboi - atory, and in an ante-room he had llxed up a forge. On the lawn h.- erected a stage, which eiiableil hii.i to reach the top of a large tree, o > which S(»ciire and i.uolated porch h' could be absolutely alone with his thoughts. As a host one gathers that this strange being was hardly a success, the Very few people who were ad- mitted to his table were always given the same faroâ€" a leg of mutton. On one occasion fotir scientilic men were to dino wilh him. When bis housekeeper coiisulteU him as to what she was to give them to eat he said a leg of mutton. "Sir," sa'd the good soul, "that will not be enough for five." "Well, then, got two," he replied. And this man who was content to eat mutton everlast- ingl.v had no sense of beauty; hj cared for nothing beyond his own work. His biographer. Dr. Oeortfe Wilson, said of him: "There was nothing earnest, en- thusiastic, heroic or chivalrous in the nature of Cavendish, and as little was there anything mean, groveling or ignoble. He was almost passion- less All that ncode<l for its appre- hension more than pure in,tellect o; required the exercise of fancy, imag- ination, aPf-ction or faith was dis- tasteftil to {!aveiidish. An intellec- tual hei\d thinking, a pair of won dcrful, acute eyes observing, and n pair of Very skilful hands expcr-- menting or recording, are all that I realize in reading his memorials." Ho siniplj left his income to accu- mulate. One day his bankers, finding that they had a balance of £80.000 to his credit, sent up a messenger to consult him about it. Cavendish wa» extremely perturbed, but ho consent- ed to see the messenger. "What do jou como here for?" he asked. "What do .vou want wilh me'?" "Sir, I thought it proper to walft upon you, as we have a very largu balance in hand of yours, and wo wish your orders respecting it." "If it is any trouble to you I wi'I take it out of your hands. Do not como here to plague me!" "Not the least trouble to us, sir, not the least; but we thought you- might like some of it to be invested.' "Well, well, what do you want to do?" "I'erhnps you would like £40,000 invested!" "Do so, do so! And don't como I here to trouble mc, or I'll removg lit." I He was essentially a shy man, to whom it was even <IIfficult to speak. I Dr. WoUaston said: "The wa^ to talk j to Cavendish is never to look at him, but to talk, as it were, into I vacancy, and then it is not unlikely you may set him going." And Pro', Playfalr. who was a fre<pient visitor to the Royal Society Club, said: "Mr Cavendish is a member of this meet- ing. He is of an awkward appear- ance, aiKl has not much the look of a man of rank. Ho speaks likewLso wilh great ditliculty and hesitation, and very seldom. But the gleams of genius break often through this un- promising exterior. Ho never speaks at all but it is exceedingly to the purpose, and either brings some ex- celliiit information or draws some important conclusion." Cavendish's shyness amounted al- most to a disease. He shrank from speech with strangers, and if he were opproached abruptly ho would dart away with a cry like a scared an' mal. At such entertuinmeuls as ho atleiided he would often stand on the landing, afraid to face the company on the other side of the door, nor would he open it until the approac'n of some one from behind urove hioi forward. On one occasion, at a party at Sip- Joseph Bank's house, a certain D-. Ingenliousz took upon himself to praise Cavendish to his face in a high Uown and piiinpoiis manner bv way of introduction to an Austrian gentleman who was present. Tho Austrian promjitly took the cue, loaded the unfortunate philosophar with compliments, and assured hiiu that he had come to London mainly to meet him. Cavendish stood with, downcast eyes, in abject misery, speaking never a word. Then he saw an opening in tho crush, flew to the door, jumpetl into his carriage and drove home at full speed. Women he hated; his usual method of communication with his houso- kecpcr was by means of notes left i on the hall table, and if any fanale servant came into his presence she was instantly dismissed. To guard against chance meetings with his household he had a secoind staircaso ' erected in his Clapham villa. Lord Ilrougham rememberetl "the shrill cr;' he uttered as ho shufUed quickly from ^ room to room, seeming to bo annoy« I ed if looked at. but sometimes ap- \ preaching to hear what was passing , anioiig others." j This extraordinary wan left a for' tunc of Jtl, 750,000; his heir. Lord Ceorgo Cavendish, was only permitt- ed to see him once a year, and then for no longer than half .an hour. He never changed the fashion of his j dressâ€" a fact which naturally dre\/ I the attention to him which he was ISO anxious to avoi<l. He was indeed I a man of pure science, in whose con- stitution there seemed no room for human kindness. TWO HALVKH MAKE A WHOLE. "What's become of Miss Oiggles?'? ttiked the first balher.
