Boys are frequently lost In the woods, and It is a singular fact that birds are sometimes lost in the air. This might seem strange to almost any one, but the average i man is a superficial ob server of little things. In the far north, and particularly along the ocean coasts, birds ace fre quently storm driven and lose their bearings, so that many of them are lost at sea. They keep floating In the air, aimlessly striving to live until exhaus tion compels them to drop Into the an gry waves, which engulf them. f There is a well authenticated case on record of an ocean liner bringing Into New Yorlc on n wintT-'a Ait-v n Inrco I white owl which bad dropped to one of the forward spars in an exhausted condition more than 800 miles off the coast of Newfoundland. It was near ly dead from cold and hunger and al most too weak to eat anything. It had become much emaciated and trembled in its distress when it tried to swal low the first morsel of meat which was placed within its beak. The captain and sailors were all interested in it, and under their nourishing care it slowly recovered and became entirely well and healthy and strong. It will ingly remained with the ship after ward. ... - - :s I- ; It was evidently a land bird which had been blown off from the coast of Newfoundland by strong' west winds, had become lost, merely drifted be fore the gales, kept out of the water, almost starved to death and made Its last intelligent effort to reach the ship and there fell in exhaustion and col lapse. ; Old sailors narrate many other in stances of finding birds that have been lost in the air. St. Louis Republic. UINt UAUbt OP ILLNhbt). Ridiculous Fads That Spring: From A Smatteringr of Knowledge. A famous physician upon being asked recently what is the chief cause of ill health replied: Thinking and talking about it all the time. This ceaseless Introspection in which so many of the rising generation of nervous folk in dulge is certainly wearing them out. When they are not worrying as to whether they sleep too much or too lit tle they are fidgeting over the amount of food they take or the quantity of ex ercise necessary for health. In short, they never give themselves a moment's peace.. Our grandfathers did not con cern themselves with these questions. They ate, drank, slept, as nature prompted them. Undoubtedly they were healthier In mind and body for their sublime indifference, and if we asked ourselves fewer questions we should have less time to analyze or Im agine ailments, .'i That medical science has made re markable progress In the last few dec ades Cannot be denied. The fault for some present day undesirable conditions lies not with the doctor, but with the patient. There has been too great a tendency on the part of the laity to ac quire a smattering of medical knowl edge through the reeding of so called "health magazines and pamphlets and to put into practice on their own ac count that "little knowledge." which. It cannot be denied, is a "dangerous - i,, , iiuivuiuua law tiiujjj; me nuts ux eat- ins. drinkinsr. slppnlnsr n nrl -jrmlsf Viae 7 . - . assistea in swelling tne mortality sta ( tistics.

CROSSKILL Copyright. !904, by Marlon . CrosskiH rw ELL, what are we goin' to do, Phoebe? The money for the house is- all gone and no more in sight. So we're as bad off as we were before and worse, for we haven't a house to live in or starve in. for that's what it seems to be comin' to. And we even miss our little patch of garden where we raised the cucumbers, and radishes and squash. And, Phoebe, it seems as if I had the old front porch, with the roses on it and the elm tree shadin' It, to sit on these hot days I'd be most content to starve there," sighed Mary Ann. ; "Don't talk that way, sister; The Lord '11 find a way somehow. We've gone from one thing toanother. since the bank failed, but have always had something to eat, and I have a feeling that we always will if we look sharp." "I was by the old place today," said Mary Ann, with another sigh. "The roses .do look lovely. Oh, Thoebe, if we'd never sold it! If we could only have it back!" Phoebe's "brows contracted, and then relaxed quickly. "Well, we shall, Mary Ann; we shall," she said cheerfully. "If we keep pur courage up and think with our whole strength that the things we want are ours we will draw them to us just as steady and as sure as the world goes round. It may not look like it at first, but remember that we can't feel the earth move either, and never lose faith. Just put your mind on it as I do and will to have the old house back, and If we will hard enough and hustle In the bargain it will all come right." - "But how is it comin' right, Phoebe, when we have no money to even buy bread; let alone the old place?" Phoebe did not reply. Sometimes her sister's complaining nature quite made her lose heart. Poor Mary Ann! She did not mean to be a burden and a drawback to her sister. She tried to help along all she could, but the weak ones little realize the power for evil of their very - weakness. From Phoebe flowed hope and courage. She diffused them as a lamp sheds light. All felt them who came within their radius. They were all that kept poor Mary Ann from suicide. Since the bank failed and their mon ey was lost Phoebe had worn a cheer--ful face and worked and struggled tOi keep their little hous jn the Bubujlji 5liMltP.lSland town. She bad taken boarders and done sewing and nursing and whatever she could find to do, thinking courageously to keep the old roof over their heads, un til with hard work and exposure to all sorts of weather a severe illness had overtaken her, and while she lay help less the place had to be mortgaged to pay expenses, and then " later on, to avoid a foreclosure, it was sold at a figure which left them but little money after the debt was paid. And through it all the brave little woman had kept up heart and striven to cheer and en courage her weaker sister. ' With her health her vigor returned, and she tried first this thing and then that to make a living and turned over one plan and another, always asserting that the right thing would be found at last; that the old house would come back to them again. Her faith never wavered that it would come out all right in the end. She had to fight the battle for herself and her sister, too, for, so it generally Is that to every pair of strong, brave shoulders there Is fitted the burden of another's weak ness and cowardice. It is nearly al ways some one dear to us, or we would not often bear it, and love lightens the load- So Phoebe Smith carried her sis- ter on her shoulders, though oftentimes the weight of her wjeakness and com plaints well . nigh caused , the brave heart to sink by the way.! ' ' Mary Ann,, who was a little 'past for ty, seemed old enough to be her sister's mother. Her form was small and thin and her complexion jsaUow,- while the habitual wrinkling of- lier forehead into an anxious, querulous j pucker had brought deep, perma nentj lines. "You just worry jiourself to a fraz zle, Nannie," said her! sister, "and what good does It do? Yjoii pan't worry a shingle on to the roo.f rioi a dollar into if your pocket But yop can worry your self sick and old, and, that is. just what you are doing. , If you would only, just to please me, throw j away that bottle of liver pills and come out and help me weed this onion bed I J am sure you would feel better. I have heard, and I believe if is true, thi t there is nothing like worry to make yod -bilious. , You don't know how good' the fresh earth smells, and, the sun ion your back is just glorious,1'; said Phoebe, throwing the old straw hat back "from her flushed face and wiping her proiv. ' They did - not g;iL er the crop from that onion ber. for tlie house was sold, and they moved in town and were domiciled in a little pack room at Mrs. Preston's boarding Ijusq. which on ac count of its bflnjr on tli4 shady-'s'tle of the house they were cheap. able to rent quite The summer was Htyssfug.' cgd as the sisters sat day after day doing any "THE MUGS "STEAMED ENTICINGLY." gewing which camel their way Mary Ann was silent and dejected, and Phoe- Be eamesTlylnuhTfuT One day Phoebe returned af ter a long absence, and, drawihg off her gloves, she said, with a cheerful smile: "Well, it's all right! Mr. Boweh says I can have the roomy and I will begin the first day school opens." v "Begin what, Phoebe f What rbornl' What are you talking about?" "Oh, I didn't 1 telllyou for fear you would try to disTOurage":me; but T Kave been turning over the 'plan for some time, and of course you: will help.' "Help what, Phoebe? f Do tell me." T "Oh, yes. It's thisVUp at the school, you know, the ' children all take" their lunch. It is a cold ! lunch, of course, and I asked Mr. Bowen to speak to the school board about' renting me the room in the basement next to the lunch room, and I am going to serve hot soup and malted jmllk and cocoa at 8 cents a mug. I wil,take what money I can get together ?by that time and buy a gas stove and ithe mugs and some cans of soup, hjve'ean have a dif ferent kind every day. And what do you think? Mr. Bdwen:. has got them to let me have the icoom free of rent. He says it will-be a' benefit to the chil dren to have somethhig warm with their lunch. Isn't hie good? . Oh, the wofld is so full of good people!" Mary Ann looked at her sister. "Well, Phoebe, the things you do think of! I'm sure I hope it will be a suc cess Pr she said weakly. "A success! Of course It will!" with vigor. "How can it help it? A can of soup costs 10 cents,; and less If you buy It wholesale, and. it will make at least eight mugs of good j soup at 3 cents apiece, and I can make a nice little mug of cocoa that will net me a profit at 2 cents. Oh, I have reckoned it all UD. everv cent Of rhnrsA it will ha o success, and, Mary Ann.i you're in itM Mary Ann smiled, 'f 'I'll do all I can." she said. "Oertainlyj I'll help." When school opened the Misses Smith were there making preparations, and when the children 'poured down into the big room for lunch the doors were opened into the little room next it, and there stood Miss Ptjoebe, wearing a white apron and a smiling face, behind a big table, with a large soup tureen in the middle, ; surrounded with .blue mugs and ja ladle; in J her hand, while Mary Ann, with a hot, water kettle, and cocoa and milk, idld the honors at an- ; other. An appetizing odor arose from the soup tureen. The mugs steamed Vj enticingly and were emptied rapidly. Mr. Bowen, whd frm, the first had l taken- a great interest: in- this business venture of the Misses J Smith, came one ! day to ask how t they (were getting aiong. :. : :, r . "Miss Smith,' he jsaid to" Phoebe, thinking how beautiful her complexion was, "I hear that Barlow; wants to sell your house '-again. Mrs. Barlow's health Is . not very good here.: And I was thinking,' reflectively, "that I would Buy It Jnst as a specTilatlon.,' He was looking ai Miss Phoebe's phnsp hand and admiring the dimples la. the knuckles. And if you will live In it, just to take care of ft. you know, until it is sold to advantage it will be conferring a favor on me." Phoebe fairly gasped from surprise. To live in the. old house again! To plant the nasturtiums by the fence as of old and to watch the cucumbers grow in the sunny place in front of the wood shed! It was almost too good to be true. "But we can't live there without pay ing rent," she said. "We are able to pay rent now if It is not too much." . "But," replied Mr. Bowen. "it will be a great advantage to have somebody living there who would take an inter est In the place, and I did not think of asking any rent. But If you wish to pay a small amount it rests with you." This satisfied Miss Phoebe's con science and made her feel more inde pendent. Bubbling over with Joy, she rushed into the presence of Mary Ann and exclaimed triumphantly: "I said so! I said, so! We are going back to our old home, Nannie!" The spring found them training the roses on the porch and. sowing seeds in their flower beds as if they had never been away. . About this time Miss Phoebe had plans for branching out. She rented a big, pleasant room in the business sec tion of the town and started a little "tea room," as she called it, as thaj was thef fashion. The floor was stain ed, and some bright but inexpensive rugs supplied bits of color. , Fresh muslin ,curtains shaded the windows, and flowerpots stood between. The most fragrant tea and the most de licious coffee and chocolate were serv ed, while the tea biscuit and cake and sandwiches and other good things were all made by the Misses Smith and their white aproned maids, and so the new venture was patronized and began to prosper. One evening as Miss Phoebe sat in her wicker chair on the rose cov ered porch Mr. Bowen came up the path. , "Good evening, Miss Smith. I Just thought I would come and see how my tenants were getting along," he said, looking into the big blue eyes, which seemed to have a very contented ex pression in them. His wife's eyes had been black and somewhat snappy, and he found himself thinking how nice It would be to have a pair of sympathetic blue eyes like Miss Phoebe's to greet him when he came home and sit oppo site him at the table. Then, too, she had such a soft, sweet voice that even a commonplace Invitation to be helped to pie would be a symphony from her lips. She was speaking now. "If you would sell the place for what you gave for It, Mr. Bowen" she was saying. "Sell the place!" he repeated, absent ly touching the lace at her wrist as her. plump hand rested on the arm of her rocker and then looking up at a cluster of roses that hung by the pillar Just over his head. Miss Smith blushed as she gave a quick glance at his ruddy face and curling gray, locks. A most reserve man Mr. Bowen had abyajg appeared and the pink of courtesy and propriety. "Yes, we wll be able to buy.it back very soon if you will sell it at that price." Mr. Bowen unfastened his gaze from the cluster of roses that( swung over head and turned it full upon the roses In the cheek beside him. Phoebe had never noticed before that he had such fine eyes and such soft, curly hair. He drew his chair a little closer. . "If you will accept the old place as a present from me, Miss Pbtoebe," he said. i Miss Phoebe stared at him with ' eyes wide open. "A wedding present," he continued, laying his hand on hers. The roses in Miss Phoebe's cheeks deepened to a rich crimson, and the "a wedpiko PKFSEST," continued, astonished blue eyes -were like two stars as she looked into Philip Bowen fine face while her hand rested In his. "Land sakes alive!" gasped Mary Ann In the doorway a minute later. Was It possible that her sister could so disgrace Ler? She adjusted her glasses-and looked again. There Sat Phoebe am: Mr. Bowen close as two owls on a ruost. His elbow was on the back of her low wicker chair, his cheek resting- against , his . hand, and Phoebe sat with her head well back so that it almost touched his chin. Her eyes shone softly in the gradually deepening dusk, while the roses Just over their heads were nodding in silent approval, and Mary Ann turned on her heel and went back into the house perfectly scandalized.
