that the story, or any story in a

"It is strange. I should not have

he began more and more to have a
kindly feeling to Lefty. She was
only a child, with a. child's almost
blank mind, hat the recipient power
at least was in her, and, -when ,he
vvithdrew his thoughts from other
thing's, it became at times an amuse-
ment and interest to Mr. Trelawney
to take note of the kind of literature
that gave her most delight, and to
watch the effect it had upon her.
"I don't know that so muchread-

doubled up under his lovely chin; but
not for all that would she let Weber

"Asleep!" cried Mr. Strange, with
extravagant astonishment and n.
deep reproach. "My darling, non-
sense! 1 assure you.—"
"Stud!" said Mrs. Strange. She
bad subsided upon the haystack be-
side him, however, and she looked at
him with all the air of one who has
a. state mother of European im-
portance to declare.
"You've come about something,"
said he, not having studied her in
vain for these past three }nippy
years.. "Get it off your shoulders
without delay, and you'll be twice
the woman you are now. That's a
ciliation of the young inen in Sheen telegram -eh?" pointing to a bit a
ton of her own rank should have any
charms for letty.
"You nifty trust Letty, sir," she
said, earnestly, one day to Mr. Tre-
lawney. "I -don't say she's clever,
for she's not that, but, for a girl
anxious to do her duty, and quiet
and steady, and with no foolish non-,
sense (as so many of them have) in
her head, 1 never knew one to beet
her. I'd trust her anywhere, sir -in
any company -that I would."
"Well, that is high praise," Mr.
Trelawney answered quietly. "And
I can quite believe that she deserves
it," he added.
Letty had been fifteen when she
first came to Shepton. One day,
after about a couple of years had
passed, Mr. Trelawney rather ab-
ruptly asked Mrs. Markham whether

in'her hand.

ing me of the birth. of 41 little girl

"No. declare am more glad

sincerely. "It's the happiest thing
for her, poor thing. And now that
she's got O'Grady and thebaby, I
don't see why the rest oi her life at
least shouldn't run smoothly."
"Garret told me yesterday." she
said gravely, "that that unfortUnate
woman's case is worse than ever. No

The Action of the Heart Lungs Stomach, Liver and Kidneys Depend en
the Nerve Force—Extraordinary Res41ts from the Use of Dr. Chase's
Nerve Food.
There is not a single organ ce the trunian body that can perfOrm its functions without a liberal supply of
nerve force -Um motive power of the body.
The nervous system. should never be thought of as a, separate part of the body. Its branches extend from
.the brain and the Spinal column to the tips of the fingers and toes. J11,5 t as the blood is carried by the ar-
teries to every nook and corner of the system, so the nerve force, by means of nerve litres, is distributed and
nerve force isr just as important to, life as is good, rich blood. •
When the nerve cells are wasted, by over exertion, worry or disaase, more rapidly than they axe replaced,
the action of the heart becomes slow er, the lungs begin to weaken, the stomach fails to do its duty, the lirver
and kidneys falter in their work as filters and the excretory organs get feeble and inactive. You may be a
sofierer from weakness and exhaustion of the nerves, and niay have been attributing the trouble to the stom-
ach, kidneys or other organs. Nervous exhaustion -is 'marked by restlessness, disturbed sleep, languid, weary
feelings, headache, dyspepsia, and bodily pains, inability to concentrate " the thoughts, absent-mindedness,
weakened memory, twitching of the muscles and eyelids, sudden startings and jerkings of 12,1e limbs in sleep,
dizziness, irritability and gloomy iorebodings. '
Through the medium of the nervous sYstern Dr. eha§e's Nerve rood carries new life and energy to every
organ of the body. It strengthens the actioh,of the heart, invigorates the stomach, makes the kidneys, liver
and bowels more active, and builds uP the enUre system. ,

Society have, in spite of the
beat, Wind and dust, held out stead-
fastly at their post, and have
brought to light many witty** me-
morials ethich, with those already
unearthed, will some day give a
faithful picture of the ancient me-
tropolis, its street, temples and pal-
aces, and its social, intellectual and
religious life. Up to now four bun -
<trod inscribed clay slabs have been
found in the centre of the ruins of
Babylon. 0: only two of them are
the inscriptions yet deciphered. One
tablet contains a great part of a cel-
ebrated Babylon compendium which
explains the Babylonian cuneiform
characters. It is it very ancient dic-
tionary of great linguistic interest,
and of exceptional value practically.
The second tablet contains nothing
less than the litany which was chant-
ed by the singers of the Temple of
Esaglice on the return of the god
Marduk to his sanctuary. Marduk.
or Merodach, was the son of Ea, and
one of the twelve great gods of the
Assyro-Babylouian Pantheon. His
temple, Esegila, "the exalted house"
became the national sanctuary of the
whol' empire. Ile also had a. sanc-
tuary at Sienew. Be is twice men-
tioned in the Book of Jeremiah, and
in Isaiah, :is Bel. It was tbe custom
to sing the litany which has now
been found alter the periodical pro-
cession to that grand pantheon which

pedition, and which, it is hoped, by

The German Oriental Society's ac -
.count of these discoveries, which has
just been published, also gives a min-
ute description of ani amulet, sup-
posed to protect the wearer from the
machinations of the demon Labartu.
Labartu was an ashen hued being,
who made people pale with , terror,
drank human blood, caused great sor-

TIMELY NOTES ON AFPLES.
Those who *tenet to plant apple
treesthis spring eitoeld hear in mind
a few facte whkk reay greatly affect
their $12eceSS. One of teeee factis
that some of per beet varieties et
apples are nearly worthless wItert
grafted at the root. If planted, they
may eucceed for a few years, anti
then suddenly, died out. Among
these tore the Swear and the Spitzeo-
berg. two of our grottiest fruite. The
reason tor Iles dying is that the
oci of these varieties is „subject to
winter killing. Thpy shuuld always
be grafted high on Spy or Idiritiancl
seed:, or on trees grown from eve*
that ha,Ve proved themselves tough
nd hardy. It Is poesible to get
st as good Spitzenberge now as 0
ears ago, if ibis rule of bigh graft-
ing is observed.
It in also quite necepsary rft•
