Now I would advise you to buy the mper half price, and read it quietly in the evening. You might sell the papers after for waste, . you know." Uncle Sandy thought this "varra wise like." He then discovered that his eyes were uncommon weak of late, and he asked either Mona or Mme. Debrisay to read to him, which they rarely refused to do. Next he took it into his head that he would like to "do" London under Mona‘s guidance. This was rather a toilâ€" some undertaking, for it was just "sinâ€" fu waste" in his mind to hire a cab; and getting him in and out of omnibuses was no slight undertaking, to say nothâ€" ing of a running fire of disputes with eonductor=, and laborious studying of the fares painted inside, while the veâ€" hicle "stopped the way" to a crowd of earts, hansoms, and vans. is J+0+â€" > With all his peculiarities, there was a certain originality in Uncle Sandy which attracted Mona.

ABSOLUTE PURITY TELLS THE STORY NO ADULTERATION CEYLON GREEN TEA of th RATION No ImnPURITIES NO COLORING MATTER The fact of her having red hair, as he eonsidered it, seemed to %o one of Mona‘s strongest claims upon his affection. It appeared to be a kind of proof positive that she belonged to him. _ Curiously enough Mme. Debrisay never quite suceeded in winning his confidence, though attentive and considerate beyond what he could expect. He spoke of her less gently, ard contradicted her more flatly than he did Mona. As his instinets where self was concerned were preterâ€" naturally keen, perhaps he felt that her kindless was less disinterested _ than Mona‘s, and could picture to himself the devotion which could make _ one woman interested for another‘s sake. His greatest enjoyment was to listen to Mona reading the papers to himâ€" next to her playing Scotch airs. He would listen to no other music save a few hymns or psalms. He was very glu- ticular about attending public worship, and insisted occasionally on Mona acâ€" companying him, that she might hear "soond doctrine." Which was _ a great punishment, for he was exceedingly reâ€" ligious, in a dogmatic and disagreeable fashion. Mme. Debrisay had skillfully and gracefully glided out of a proposal on his part to share their midday dinner, paying his proportion. living and by your bonnie reed heid." "That‘s well thought," said _ Uncle Sandy, gravely. "My food must be puncâ€" tual, or I canna live." "It is indeed of the last importance." "I am surprised," he resumed. "to find how far Londoners are behind in the matter of cooking. I bought a small bag of oatmeal, thiniing I could _ get ‘parritch‘ to my breakfast, and I went to the cost of an earthen pan to pit it in; but, eh, sirs, what a fearsomeâ€"like mess the landlady in yon house made of it. I‘ve not had the courage to ask for it mair." "It would be very nice, my dear Mr. Craig," she said; "but you see _ you mighs regret beginning what you could not continue; for when families return to town, and we begin to be busy, we often do not dine at all, and always irâ€" regularly. That would rever suit your poor digestion." _ § ISERKY â€" tss Naturally the holiday enjoyments of the two friends were considerably curâ€" tailed by the presence of Uncle gandy. Still they contrived to spend two or three tranquilly pleasant days at Hampâ€" ton Court, Richmand, and other suburâ€" ban places of resort, though Uncle Sandy grumbled a good deal at being left alone. "Porridge," cried ‘Mme. Debrisay, joyâ€" ously. "My dear Mr. Craig, if I had had the faintest idea what the contents of that crock were, you should have had your porridge every day.

October was half over, and Mme. Debrisay was again in harness. Mona, too, had resumed work, and her uncle was divided between gratiâ€" fication at her industry and annoyance at her frequent absence. He was deeply interested in the details of her occupaâ€" tion, and she evidently rose in his estimaâ€" tion when he heard of the remuneration she received, which seemed to him very high. Mone{ paid was in his estimation the hallâ€"mark of merit. "Ay, that you may. It‘s in yon corner. If ye can give _ me my parritch every morn to my breakâ€" fast, I‘ll be anither mon. I have wanted it sore." Madame scarcely waited the permisâ€" sion before she pounced upon the jar which had often puzzled her, and examâ€" ined it carefully. _ "It seems all 'nght.” she said, triumâ€" phantly.

"No doubt," said Mona, wit han irreâ€" pressible smile. _ A Hearing Uncle Sandy always speak of his "nay few" as a "laddic," she unconâ€" sciously formed a picture of an underâ€" sized, shy lad, slight and insignificant, with the family "reed heeid"â€"something in style between a shopâ€"boy and an erâ€" randâ€"boy. She actually beheld a very tall, wellâ€"built figure, surmounted by an exceedingly black head, the hair short and thick; heavy dark eyebrows, and large, dark, deepâ€"set, flashing eyes; an aquiline nose; high cheek bones; a pathâ€" etic mouth, with somewbet downâ€"curved corners, unmasked by mustache, and a deep redâ€"brown complexion. "This is Kenneth Macalisterâ€"your cousin Kenneth," quoth Mr. Craig, as he tucked a napkin urder his chin. _ Mona bowed and smiled, but Macalisâ€" ter took a large stride forward, holding out a big, bony, brown hand, and reddenâ€" inq as he exclaimedâ€" "I am very"â€"he said "ferry"â€""glad to make your acquaintance." There was a certain dignity in his carâ€" riage, but Mona saw that he was shy, though probably his pride was strong to aid him in concealing it. She put her hand into his, saying pleasantlyâ€" "It seems wonderful to me to dine with an uncle and a cousin. I have always seecmedd enuded of near relatives." _ She took up the paper and read perâ€" severingly, until her uncle, consulting his watch, decided it was time to go to bed. Mr. Craig sometimes hobbled to the "kirk" alone, when Mona struck and inâ€" sisted on attending her own place of worâ€" ship, much to his annoyance. k On the present occasion she started early, to reach a distant church, thinkâ€" ing that dinnerâ€"time and the whole afâ€" ternoon would be a sufficient sacrifice to her newly found cousin. She was a little late in returning and went at once to lay aside her outâ€"door garments. While doing so, the sound of voices in the next roomâ€"the polite, and guarded tones of Mme. Debrisay, told her that she was receiving company.. Dinner was being placed on the table when she entered. Uncle Sandy had alâ€" ready taken his place, and Mme. Debriâ€" say was in the act of gracefully indicatâ€" ing his seat to a young manâ€"a young man whose appearance startled Mona. . "Ah, but you have plenty!" said Macâ€" allister, taking his seat. "I have twentyâ€" seven first cousins on my father‘s side, and fourteen on my mother‘s. 1 have more than double that in second cousins, but having been much from home I can not count all my farâ€"away kin." * The young Highlander would have let any amount of foxes gnaw his vitals beâ€" fore he would confess that he was alâ€" most a total abstainer, from motives of economy. _ "It‘s no an indifferent price, then, grumbled Uncle Sandy. _ "I hated both; but I am getting used to London; there is much to be done and learned here." _"It is a wonderful place.

"For more than a year I was a sufferer from kidney trouble," Mr. Bell says, "Always in pain, at times the agony would become unendurable, and I was practically unable to attend to any of my duties, _ I doctored with several local physicians and tried every means to get cured, but without success. At last I was induced to give Dodd‘s Kidâ€" ney Pills a trial. I have the greatest pleasure in stating that they drove away the pains entirely and restored me to my old time health and strength.

The ten technical universities of the Empire, called in German, high schools, enrolling over 17,000 students, are in close touch with, and a great help to, the industries, says the Engineering Magazine. In several cases they cultiâ€" vate special branches with regard to local interests. For instance, the school in Dresden being near a great textile district, has a course in the technics of dyeing. The Aixâ€"laâ€"Chapelle school being so near the coal fields and iron works, has especially good courses in mining and metallurgy. Danzig includes marine enginecring, of course, though Berlin already stands very high in that department. Karlsruhe has a forestry department, and Munich an agricultural course. __It was of the Baroness Burdettâ€"Coutts that the King once remarked: "After my mother, she is the most remarkable woâ€" man in Englnnd.” She is still the most philanthropic woman in the world, and at 92 gives all her charities her personal atâ€" tention. _ Most of the contemporaries of her mvo now passed awiy, but her are so varied that she is conâ€" tinually making new friends. It is not, however, so much in the highest categories of education that we are likely to be surprised in our (Gerâ€" man observations, but rather in the beâ€" wildering list of middle and lower schools.

The act that a boy or girl has left the comâ€" mon schools and taken employment, is by no means an indication that the gchool days are over; on the contrary, the day‘s occupation creates interest for the evening courses in the "continuaâ€" tion" schools. In some of the schools charges are made, others are free. Some are: oup?orte:i by th‘e state, some by the city, others by employers‘ guilds in varâ€" ftous branches of business, and others by private funds. Some of the schools reâ€" ceive support from all these sources. STORY OF BURDETTâ€"COUTTS. SCHOOLS IN GERMANY. (To be continued.) ONTARIO ARCHIVES f TORONTO We may take it that ten thousand deaths involve a loss of two and a half millions sterling, and that one million cases of illness, great and little, cost the community a further cight or ten milâ€" lion pounds. Taking into account the value of the human working machine this is a moderate estimate. Could the authorities save ten thouâ€" sand lives and prevent one million cases of iliness in London every year? If what medical men say on the subject is to be trusted, this would be done by atâ€" tention to the matter of dust alone. From dust we get consumption of the lungs entirelyâ€"or practically soâ€"from the dust of rooms, churches, railway stations, etc., but, perhaps, mainly from the dust of streets. Very few people living in cities escape infection. (T. F. Manning, in the London Daily Mail.) A thoughtful pathologist, every time he walks abroad in London, must be amazed at the number of avenues of disâ€" ease he finds negligently left @pen by ;hoalschwho have the care of the people‘s ealth. While the difficult problem of the preâ€" vention of dust on the high roads is being wrestled with, other and even much more deadly forms of dustâ€"dust which can be effectively suppressedâ€" seem to escape the attention of sanitarâ€" A physician who made a large number of postâ€"morten examinations found foci of tuberculosis in sixty per cent. of the lungs. None of these people died of conâ€" sumption. They did not know they had it. The malady ran a short course, was cured, and left traces behind. In New York a series of two hundred and thirty postâ€"mortems revealed marks of conâ€" sumption. The conclusion from this evidence is that at least half the dwellers in cities are attacked, at one time or another, by consumption severe enough to destroy part of the lung tissue. It is not unâ€" likely that the germs find their way into the lungs of every inhabitant. igricur nmP oc y PR one is no longer ill, but is _ now bright, active and happy. Dr. Wilâ€" liams‘ Pink Pills brought this change after three doctors had failed. Conâ€" cerning this illness and cure, Mrs. Beers says: "At the age of six my little girl became very ill. â€" At different times for the â€" next year and a half three doctors treated her withâ€" out â€" benefit. She was terribly run down, an her blood was nothing but water. Then dropsy set in. She would swell so that her clothes were much too small for her. _ Her legs and feet were nearly twice their naâ€" tural size. To make her _ torture worse theumatism set in. Her state was pitiable. Sometimes we thought she could not live much longer and for three mwonths she could not walk & stei. To touch het was to cause her the greatest agony. _ The doctors were bafflielâ€"they could do nothing for her, and as a last resort we began the use of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. She took the pills several weeks, when Watery blood is the cause of over half the sickness© which prevails _ toâ€" day. To have health, strength and happinese, you must have rich, red blood.

This is not the measure called for by the cireumstances. We need a byâ€"law forbidding expectoraâ€" tion in the streets, such as they have in some American cities. Sir Michael Fos: ter once said that if all tuberculous aniâ€" mals used for food were destroyed, and we saw there was a slight improveâ€" ment, The improvement â€" gradually began more marked, and by the time she had taken twentyâ€"one boxes her cure was complete. It is now nine months since she took the pills, and she is now as well as she ever was and goes to school every day. I canâ€" not speak too hi}hly in favor of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, for I feel they savâ€" ed my little girl‘s life." if all spitting by phthisical _patients were prevented, tuberculosis would be banished from the land. If the first of these measures is not practicable, the second is surely worth trying, with the promise of such a happy issue. Street dust, however, is harmful in many ways. It swarms with disease germs. There seems to be little room for doubt that street dust is the chief cause of the common cold. We are also much in need of a byâ€"law eomgelling house wreckers _ to water buildings in course of demolition.

These are showered upon pedcstrians in almost every thorâ€" oughfare all through the spring and sumâ€" mer.

In the illâ€"ventilated omnibus and overcrowded railway carriage not only is the air foul and poisonous from the presence of carbonic acid, but it is invarâ€" iably laden with the germs of discease. One might successfully battle against these in pure air, but in foul air they have a powerful ally. Let any one walk to and from business every day for a month and he will find his health imâ€" measurably better than when he drives. ‘This is due as much to escape from the foul air as it is to the exercise, Why can we not have a byâ€"law to ensure the proper ventilation of all public vehicles and another to prevent their overcrowdâ€" ing.

Such a medicine is Baby‘s Own Tablets. _ These tablets cure all stomach and bowel troubles, allay the pain of teething, and give sound, healthy, refreshing sleep. And the mother has the guarantee of a government analyst that this medicine does not contain one parâ€" ticle of the poisonous opiates found in soâ€"called soothing mixtures and most we have discussed, our authorities lag behind those of America and HWolland.

The use of some kind of vacuum brush for the purpose would sanitarily speaking, be ideal. â€"From the Perils Lurk in the Clothes Brush. The brushing of dusty cloths in the living rooms of the household is . opâ€" posed to cleanly sentiment, apart altoâ€" gether from the evil of health which, as the bacteriology of dust distinctly inâ€" dicates, might easily be caused by the process. The imagination does not reâ€" quire to be stretched very far to realize that the clothes brush might be easily responsible for the dissemination of disâ€" ease. Dust is rarely if ever, free from microâ€"organisms and amongthem pathâ€" ogenic entities have been reoogtuedgun is, in fact, an enemy to the human race, Enthusiastic sanitary reformers would no doubt, suggest that provision might also be made for trapping the dust by some such simple measure as suspending a damp sheet across the room. The daily clothes have a large capacity and a sinâ€" gular affinity for dust, which may conâ€" tain the seeds of a common cold or a sore throat, or even of blood poisoning and tetanus, so that the suggestion that the clothes hrush should be handled in a less indiscriminate way than is usually the case can hardly be regarded as chimerâ€" ical. If dust has been proved to be pathâ€" ogenic the scattering of it broadcast by means of the clothes brush must be a violation of hygenic principles, The brushing of clothes is, in fact a clumsy and an unsanitary _ procedure, The clothes brush is a vigorous dust producing agent, and since its application is indispensable it should be used in a manner as far as possible consistent with hygenic requirements, Clothes, of course, must be brushed, just as carpets must be beaten, but both processes create a nuisance which is different not in kind, but only in degree. Just, thereâ€" fore, as there are grounds reserved for the beating of carpets remote, as they should be, from human habitation, so also ought there to be in a household conducted on hygenic lines _ a special room, relegated to the brushing «of clothes. ones."
