':She is a governess, Uncle Ben; she has been a governess at our school ever since I left it. And you can scarce- ly call her a girl any longer; she Is tour-and-Iwenty.'

"1 never thought that of any woman," I hastened to assure het. "it would be an insult to her Intelligence --and to one's own." "Augusta says that women are down- troedden, and that, men are very wicked.'' "i have heard hints to that effect my- self." "Do you believe in It, Uncle Ben?" "Bless me, no, my dean Aaid, accord- ing to you, neither does Miss Ark- wright; she probably means that men are down -trodden and women very wicked." "You ought to try and be serious, Uncle Ben, though you can't look seri- ous.

She seems to be a young lady of varied knowledge 83 well as of peculiar ambi- tions. \Vhy, by the way, does she de- sire to be a widow?" "Because, Augusta says, no other wo- man has complete freedom. Young er old, rich or poor, plain or pretty, married or single, a woman is invari- ably a slave either to men or to circum- stance. The only noncan who has gained freedom with the power left to enj.ty it, Augusta says, is a wealthy widow." "There Is some Truth in it," I replied with becoming seriousness; "but how — 1 ask merely out of respectful curiosity —does she mean to ensure widow- hood?" Wlnnle took a rose out of her dress and bent her head and smelt it, and I could see her cheeks, as pink and soft at her rose, dimpling In merriment; but her voice was one of absolute gravity. "Augusta has great forethought," she assured me. "She has considered the medium of an advertisement." "Good heav'— "!lush, Uncle Ben! You see, Augusln 14 used to advertisements.

Winnie stood up and put her hen•is behind her back as 1f repeating a les- sen. "Lady," she quoted; "Lady, de- s roto of becoming a wealthy widow, wishes to hear of some one of means about to start on Arctic, Antarctic, (.r otherwise dangerous expedition.

Senile of them havo wheels to he turned, and others have treadles. They are built of metal throughout and are a mass of weights balanced on rods, with cog wheels and supports. A machine in motion looks like nothing so much as the works of a large clock. FOR L'1'ERY MUSCLE AND JOINT. Every one of the ten machines in the hospital is a bit different from the others. There are appliances for the exercise 0t the fingers, r b hand, wrist, lack and shoulder muscles, knee and ankle Joints—in fact, it is not an exag- geration to say that every muscle and feint in the body can be reached by ono er another of these machines. More people appeared the first day for treatment than had been expected. !tidied, it was long after the regular dispensary hours before the lost had Leen sent away. Altogether there were about thirty, all of the kind that really needed help. 'There were washerwo- men. housemaids, barberes, laborers and waiters. It was considered wonderful Rtat so many had heard of the new de- partment already. A NEVER-ENDING S,AIB. In ono corner of the room a girt with housemaid's knee was treading tip and down a never-ending stair. The first day she did not wove her foot very high from the ground, but next day she did much better. A carpenter who has much 'climbing of ladders to do was sitting wailing ,for her to finish. Ile also had a stiffened knee. A w•a- nian of the Ghetto, small and ungainly, but with a large family dependent on her exertions. was working an arm back and forth, raising and lowerith a mass of weights. Tho scar, result- ing from an operation had contracted the muscles so that she was hardly n')lo to lift her arm out of a certain pose tion. A barber was similarly atllie'r.l. Ile had fallen and hurt his shoulder; it had gone from bad to worse, and aiow, while he %was capable of lifting any weiglht, he could not hold his ann up. Consequently he has had to give up his business, and if allowed ty ga tinnttended might become a pauper in a few months. COULD END1JI1E Tar PAIN, The patient, were alt a wlllits lot and few showed traces of hysterical fear of pain. That is the only thing the duct n•s have to face in the treat- ment, for if a patient is really pained t•y the energy allowed to a machine it can be reduced to such a uhiuirnurn That anyone with a lithe strength of will can rstand it. But they were undeniably amazed at the. queer method of trial• went and the fat barber was inclined to lake it as a juke. "Vy," he maid, "I)is dond hurt me. I dond see vat you culls dis pees'ness. 1 peen so used lo der Bain, 1 land mind a leedle ding like dis." whereupon the (lector gave hint a machine that pulled somewhat hander.
