A BARONET’S PILLS

“Why are we waiting?” She was a newcomer, or Bhe would have known that Ln this very genteel boarding house, secret as were ltd boarders, the baronet, who was permanent, by tacit consent took the lead, and that It was a feature of the honor accorded him that dinner was never fairly commenced, the carving and serving really entered upon, before bis arrival at the table. The baronet, to do him justice, was extremely punctual where replenishing of the inner man was concerned. But on this particular evening he was not in his accustomed place, and people shuttled and toyed with serviette rings and tried to appear not to be waiting till the newcomer, a vivacious, fresh tinted little lady, a little turned forty, inquired of her near neighbor the cause of delay. But at that moment the baronet appeared, walking slowly, a heavy cloud on his brow. He took his seat by the side of Miss ('live, the lady of the establishment, presiding at the head of the table. He stooped nnd whispered to her in portentous tones. “Can eat no dinner!” she answered aloud in alarmed accents. “Nothing, nothing,” said the baronet, “unless," with a melancholy wave of his hand, "a spoonful. Just a spoonful of the soup. No more, not a drop more,” as in obedience to his request the soup ladle descended to his plate. “I have not missed taking them for fifteen years, and I dare not attempt anything like a full meal without their aid. Until the post arrives tomorrow morning I am a starving man." And mournfully he applied himself to the soup placed before him. That dispatched, he rose and with a muttered apology left the apartment for the drawing room. At his departure Miss Clive gave explanation. The baronet could eat no dinner because his digestive pills, the last two he possessed till the morning post brought a fresh supply, had disappeared from the box. The pillbox was still standing on the mantelpiece, but the pills, so the servant reported who had been sent to fetch them, were gone. “Does he think the servant swallowed them ?” “I don’t know” answered Miss Clive absently, too anxious for the effect upon her permanent boarder to Join i:i the general titter around the table, “but he says he shall dismiss him at once for his carelessness.” “What is the number of the baronet’s room r The newcomer asked the question with sharp abruptness. “No. 15." “Then it Is next to mine.” The lady looked for a moment attentively at her plate and then, after the baronet's example, rising, with murmured apologies, quitted the table and the room. ▲ minute later found her by the bar-

”Are you quite sure? Perhaps there Is some mistake. Your servant might have overlooked them. May he just give one more look?” Divided between surprise at her Interference and her pertinacity, the baronet, turning, rang the bell near him and directed his servant* to look once more. The man obeyed. He returned, perplexity on his face, with the pillbox and two innocent looking pills therein. “There, I told you so!” said the little Indy, witli a clap of her small, white hands. The baronet’s first sensation was Joy. “Madam,” he said, with a studied bow, “you have the witchery of your sex.” But ills brow clouded. Glancing toward ills manservant. “1 shall dismiss you from my service.” There was a scuffling back of hot plates and dishes, and the baronet’s appetite spoke grandly as an advertisement for the pill's digestive merits. “And you are feeling quite well this morning?” It was the morning after, and the lady whose witchery had secured the haronet his dinner leaned over his chair. “Quite, madam,” he replied gallantly, “owing to your cleverness. I have not had a dinner suit me so well or enjoyed so perfect a night’s rest for a long while.” "Then you will not be so stern toward your manservant?” But the baronet shook Ills head. “Such culpable carelessness, madam!” The lady hesitated. “Could you keep a secret?” He bowed solemnly. "Then I will tell you something. My room joins yours. They are much alike. I, too. take pills before dinner, and I went by mistake into your room and took your pills. Afterward I slipped up and placed two of mine in your box.” “Madam, the effects have been too happy for resentment; also. It follows, my servant Is absolved from blame.” “I am so glad.” And. her mission aecomplisiied. she fluttered away. But the baronet’s face assumed a meditative expression. A minute later he was seating himself near the lady. They were alone in the room. “Madam. it has occurred to me, might I—the pills suited my digestion so admirably—might I inquire their name and where I could procure them?” There was a deeper tint in the lady's cheek, bnt her eyes were laughing. “Could you keep another secret?” He laid his hand on his heart. “Faithfully.” “Then,” she rose as though prepared to make quick exit after speaking, “it is nothing so very serious, only the pills you took last night were rheumatism pills, and I am so glad they suited you.”

FOR THE CHILDREN

A Pet Alligator. It seems that if you only begin early enough it is possible to tame even the fiercest of animals. A baby alligator caught in a swamp was taken to the home of its captor in New York, and in course of time it would follow' him about like a dog. What was even more curious was that it and the cat became great chums. When pussy slept before the fire the alligator used to lay its head on the cat and go to sleep too. The only creature that excited the alligator was a fox chaineS in a yard. It did not try to bite the fox, hut lashed it with its tail. Once had the chain not broken poor Reynard would have been beaten to death. The alligator was fed on raw flesh and fhilk, of which it was very fond. When the w’eather was cold it was kept in a box with wool in it. One frosty night the wool had been forgotten, and next morning tiie alligator was dead.

Various Error*. Can you correct the mistakes in the following sentences, boys and girls? He don’t like it. He is glad, ain’t he, that you are coming? “That,” said she, handing him the box, “will prove a preventive for all your ills.” “That is bad for my indigestion,” he said ns he eyed the doughy mass that the maid placed before him. If I were him, I would try the experiment. Acoustics are a department of science relating to sound. I may regard your proposal in no other light but as an insult. To whom if not to I would you give it? Saved by a Turkey. As a gift two turkeys and a pair of bantam fowls were sent to a gentleman in New York, who placed all sous in his poultry yard. One day a hawk on mischief bent flew down at the bantam hen, which at once uttered cries of alarm. A few feet away strutted the turkey cock. When he heard the danger signal he turned and went for the hawk In gallant style, striking at it with bis spurs. At last, with a well directed blow, he sent the trespasser reeling. Meanwhile the bantam had found shelter, and the liawk soon afterward departed, thoroughly punished. But for the turkey's friendly help, however, his tiny chnm would have been converted into hawk's meat. Ruth mud the Horae. Little Ruth was looking out of the window at the baker's horse. “Mamma,” she said, “doesn’t a horse use two of his legs for hands?” “Why, no,” mamma answered. “A horse doesn’t need hands as we do.” “But, mamma,”- the little girl perslated, “I don’t see what he does when Us nose Itches.”

Suppose, for example, a girl is thirteen and was born in November, put down the number of the month. (November is the eleventh month.) Multiply by 2. 11x2=22. Add 6. 22 +5=27. Multiply by 50. 27x50=1350. Add age (13). 1350+13=1363. Subtract 3GB. 1363 Add 115. 996+115=1113. As she answers 1113, tell her her age is thirteen and November is her birth month. This test never fails up to 100. In computing ages under ten a cipher will appear prefixed ln the result, but no notice is taken of it How to Im the Wind. Select a windy day for your experiment Take a polished metallic surface, two feet or more, with a straight edge. A large handsaw will answer. Hold thifcat right angles to the wind— L e., if the wind be north hold your surface east and west—and Incline it at an angle of forty-five degrees, so that the wind, striking, glances and flows over the edge.
