Women who have suffered year after year from these annoying blemishes, freckles—who have seen them come under the rays of the summer sun and disappear wheu the yearly reign of King Sol is over—are illogical enough to consider the glowing monarch accountable for our annual crop of freckles. All sorts of reasons have been given for these annoying pigmentary discolorations. One well known dermatologist declares they are tho result of too much iron in the blood, and that tho sun's rays bring the iron stained spots to the surface, just as they do to a bit of cloth which has come in contact with iron and then is put in tho sunlight. In other words, that freckles are iron rust.

Professor Hebra-of Vienna, who is accounted tho greatest authority of his century, insists, on the contrary, that the sun docs not, produce freckles. Ho says: "It is a fact that lentigo (freckles) neither appears in the newly born nor in children under the age of or S years, whether they run about the whole day in the open air and exposure to the bronzing influence of the sun or whether they remain confined in the darkest room. It is therefore true that neither light nor air nor warmth produces such spots in children." I

The Curious Fossils.

Some time ago, in company with a friend, I wa.-s searching for fossils among the debris of an abandoned limestone quarry. Tho owner, hearing us chipping and pounding among the rocks, approached us and inquired what we were looking for. On being answered "fossils," he said: "Fossils? What's them for—to kereh fish with?" I do not remember what answer he received, but it is more than probable that some of the fossils would have made excellent bait—say some of the smaller trilobites —could they only have been used in time, but, unfortunately, we were a few thousand decades late.

Another time, while wandering over the rugged Devonian slopes of the Helderberg mountains, we came across a native who gravely informed us that the curious.crooked fossil shells (zaphrentis) there abounding were petrified heifers' bonis.—Archasologist.

RAILWAY RUMBLES.

The London and Northwestern Railway company consumes 3,500 tons of coal a day. In lisOl iron railroads wore laid in several parts of England, superseding the wooden tramways.

Mr. E. Eddy has been re-engaged for seven years as chief commissioner of railways in New South Wales at a salary of §20,000 per annum.

Lighting trains by electricity on the Now York Central, the supply of which is furnished by the revolution of the axles, as far as tested, has proved very satisfactory.

Electric power, compressed air, steam power and the cable are displacing the horse as a motive power on the street car lines of Paris. No less than six different methods of traction are employed in different parts of the city.

THE BALLAD OF A BOTANIST.

Near the quiet little village of a trim New England town Lie the peaceful, pleasant acres of a farm of fair renown,

Where the fond pursuit of botany Doth banish all monotony

last ^nd tan the faded cheek a ruddy brown. Here Euphorbia cyparissias* waves a welcome unto all,

Ampelopsis quinquefolia spreads its mantle o'er the wall, While from Salix babylonica

And Cydonia japonica With cheerful chirp the wrens and robins call. Leonurus and Linaria lead our steps along the lane Whero Lilium and Trillium and Uvularia reign.

And Asclepias cornuti— Good for "green3" if not for beauty, Like Utrica, though its touch entaileth pain. Chrysanthemum leucanthemum the grassy fields adorn, The fragrance of Trifolium on overy breeze is borne

And the tall Vebascum thapsusf In very rapture wraps us, As its kingly candle kindles in the morn.

I In the woods the Anemone meorosa you will find, Mitchella, Tiarella and the lithe Celastrus twined,

And Monotropa hypopitys— A very spooky crop it is— That may scare the superstitiously inclined. There are many more that flourish on this fair and fertile farm I should greatly like to name them all, and catalogue each charm—

The curious Crucifurte, umbrellared Umbellii'iTto Tho laughing Labiatae, the glorious Aggregate, Koseaceai, Malvaceae—but do not take alarm, For I'm o:ily just a botanist, and I really mean no harm. —F. L. Sargent in Youth's Companion.

HIS FAILURE.

I should never have known that ho was a failure if he had not told me so himself. Most assuredly he had not tho air of one. For his coats vrere always fashionably cut, and his taste in liqueurs was almost as delicate as my own, and he could afford to gratify it far more frequently.

Such was tho testimony of appearance, and so far as I knew his history it pointed to the same conclusion. He had been, I understood, a writer, like myself, though even less successful, and then "fortunate speculations" had enabled him to retire from a calling which he found more honorable than remunerative and spend his afternoons in playing billiards at tho club.

And yet Everard Deane esteemed himself a failure. He told me so emphatically one evening at the hour when truth "peeps over the glass's edge when dinner's done." "It was all that confounded Stock Exchange," he murmured, gazing gloomily into a glass of green chartreuse.

I bogged him to accept my cordial congratulation:- "It's a bettor way to fail than most," I said. For I had known so many who failed upon the Stock Exchange and lived happily— drinking champagne and driving about in broughams—ever afterward.

Eut Everard Deane protested. "I don't.mean what you mean," he said. "Ididn't lose money on the Stock Exchange. I made it—lots of it. That is the mischief of it. That is precisely why I am a failure."

He looked gloomier than ever as he spoke and ordered a second green chartreuse.

Jerking his head so as to indicate a man at the farther end of the room—a well dressed man, excessively bejeweled —with whom, half an hour since, he had cordially shaken hands, he whispered "That is the man who has been my evil genius. You know him?" "I think so. It's Morrison Parker, the great financier, isn't it?" "It is, and Morrison Parker, the greatfinancier, has been my evil genius. It's a foolish story, but I sometimes like to tell it after dinner. A brandy and soda?"

I accepted, and when the waiter had brought tho glasses Everard Deane resumed "I was an author, you know—a young author—with great aims and high ambitions. I made enough money to live upon by writing for tho papers, but I looked upon literature, not as a trade, but as an art. I was a member of the Waste Paper club, where all of us professed to take the same artistic views of life and letters and sat up till the small hours discussing them through a haze of tobacco smoke and steaming grog. I was very happy thereuntil the day came when Morrison Parker joined the club. He owned a newspaper—The Stock Exchange Becorder, I think he called it— and therefore he was technically qualified. But when he came and sat up with us in the small hours he did not talk literature. Ho talked finance. "Yet the two subjects may occasionally have relations with each other," I suggested. "Precisely. That is the point that Morrison Parker used to insist upon, especially when he had had a good day and made us drink champagne with him to celebrate his luck. Why do so many half educated city men profess to look down on authors?' he would ask. And then he would answer his own question. 'Because there isn't one author in 500 who knows how to make £1,000 a year. That has always been the great reproach of letters, from Dr. Johnson's time to ours. It's high timo to put an end to that reproach. Why don't you fellows do it?'

I sighed, wishing that I knew how to put an end to it myself, and then I asked: "And did your friend descend from the general to the particular and tell you how it could be done?" "Ho did. He told us all to open a speculative account in LouisvillGs. ''Louisvilles? That is the name of an American railroad, I believe?"' "It is. And opening a speculative account means buying the shares without being able to pay for them, selling them at a profit and putting the difference in roar pocket. Simple, isn't it?"

child's play, provided that the shares go up. "Oh, they went up all right, and so did the others that I bought afterward. I've never lost a shilling through following Morrison Parker's tips. I can't complain of that." "And yet you call the man your evil genius?" "Yes. I still call the man my evil geuius.bccause I lost my soul through him—my soul as an artist, that was so much to me.''

I started. I could not understand. But, with an impetuous impatience, Everard Deane hastened to make clear his meaning. "You call yourself tin artist, und you do not understand? 1 )o you imagine that an artist can meddle with these sordid actualities and not find his soul defiled by them? Do you supple that he will sit down quietly to toil for doubtful gains indefinitely deferred, when ho knows that a sin id on turn of the market may put hundreds in his pocket? No, no, my friend, ir is not possible. What does he do? Why, he buys every edition of the evening paper to see the prices. Ho runs into his club to watch the tape. He drives up to tho city in working hours to ask his broker whether he ought not to sell. That is how it was in my case. That is how it must be in ove-vy case. My balance at. tho bank was growing, but while it grew my soul—my artist's soul, in which I gloried so—was dying, crushed out of its bright existence by the dead weight of material cares. And so things went until I stood, as it were, at the parting of the ways and swore that I would make my choice. -v "Your choice?" "My choice between the artistic and tho material life. I meant to make it dramatically too. There was still enough of the artist left in me for that. It was at midnight, in my chambers in tho Temple. I took the manuscript of my half finished novel—the novel that was to make me famous—from tho desk and placed it on tho table. Beside it I laid a heap of share certificates, and transfer forms and contract notes. Between the two piles there stood a lighted candle. One of them was to be burned to ashes in its flame—one of them, and at this solemn hour I was to determino which, and, by determining, decide the whole course of my future life."

He paused. I had to press him before be would proceed. "And then you burned"— "Neither," was his unexpected answer. "Neither, for I could not decide. My novel went back into the drawer it came from, to wait there till the old joy in the higher life came back to me. And that joy never came. Even to this hour it has not come. I look back to the old days. I long for them. But I know quite well that they will not return to me. The greed for gain, its ceaseless worries and anxieties, has killed my soul, and that is why I tell you that I am a failure."

There was a melancholy, at once incredible and convincing, in his accents. Unless there were a woman in the case, I would not have believed it possible for a man so well to do to look so miserable. I sought to say something that might lift him out of his despondency. "Failure or no failure, at least you can go to Monte Carlo in the winter," I suggested. "I know. I'm going next week with Morrison Parker," Everard Deane replied.

And then he shook his head slowly and shrugged his shoulders gloomily, as though to say that the joy of sojourning on the Riviera while wo were toiling in the fogs was nothing to tho price that he hud had to pay for it.

And as I drovo home that night to Whitcomb street I tried to persuade myself that he was right.—Francis Gribbe in New Budget.

He is the night foreman of the composing room, and looks fully 15 years younger than he x*ealy is. His name is Mr. Charles Rolre.

Nervous headaches that well might drove him to distraction first introduced him to Palues celery compound. That was five years ngo, and until that time he was one of the most-pronounced opponents of prepared remedies to be found in the city.

Jnst how P,line's celery compound was first brought to his attention he does not remember, but it has done him so much good that the compound has uo more enthusiastic champion living. He is as happy as any one in the enjoyment ot' good health could be, and for that happiness lis gives full credit to Paine's celery compound. Read what he hud to say about the medicines: "I am always ready to reccommend Paine's celery compound when I hear of a case similar to my own. Some five years ago I was suffering from headaches which were .-ometimes so severe during working hours of the night that I would clasp my hands over my head to 'hold the top on,' the pain being excruciating. These attacks would occur sometimes as often as three times a week. Sleep was out of the questiou, the pillow seeming but a block of wood. "Just at the time I was suffering most I bought a bottle of Paine's celery compound, began at once to take it, and before a week had passed the headaches began to disappear. 1 felt almost a new man before the bottle was emty. I purchased more, and for two years kept it in the

house for use whenever I ielt a return of the old pair.s. The other members of my family also began to take it—my wife for .ling of general weakness, she being at that time much'run down' and never feeling well enough to perform the work of the home. Within a week she was. as she expressed it, 'as well as ever in her life,' and similar reports came from all our friends to whom we had recommended it. "1 feel confident that in nervous headaches and a run down, sysrem the compound will be betiefical every time, if not a perfect cure. "In some instances we have not only recommended it, but furnished it to very need friends, and the effect, of ono bottle has seemed marvelous, and particular old friends of mine telling me that before one bottle had been used he 'felt at least ten years younger, aud certainly had not felt as good for 10 years. "During the last five years I have used a great many botl-les of the compound —that is, in my home. I am positive that it is a sure cure, for nervous headaches and a brokendown feeling especially iu the case of elderly persons "There is one case in particular I call to mind, in which Paine's celery compound asserted its good qualities. We had a young married lady friend, who was nursing her 4 month old child, and found that she could not perform ter household duties oa account of the weak conditions she seemed always to be in. Ou the recommendation of my wife and myself she took one bottle of the compound, and before two weeks had passed was able to do her own washing even, iu addition to horsework. About three bottles were used. I have yet to hear from any friend to when I recommanded it other than the most favorable results.
