"My dearest, in plays and in novels murderers are brought to the scaffold by devoted women like you, after any interval the novelist or dramatist may find conven- ient, but in real lite there is only one kind of machinery that works, and that is the much -abused police.

"Well, Daisy," I was of your opinion • yeaterda,y, and I, too, thought Mr. Arden incapable of a romantic attachment; but now he has shown me" his heart—such an unselfish, devoted heart—a heart which beats only tor you and C/yril and me.

They dined in one of the old cottage rooms, a room with a low ceiling,an old-fashioned dado and chimney - piece, and a bay -window, the best parlor of the original building. The dining -room had been very little used during Clara's widowhood. They took their coffee in the veranda, in front of the drawing -room, enjoying the beauty of the night and the newly ricien moon. "Shall I play you a little Mozart!' asked Daisy: and without waiting for an answer she left them and seated herself at the grand piano, from whence she could see them dimly, ,as they sat in the shadow of • the clematis and magnolia which overhung the veranda. She' was not a brilliant pianists, having give only her leisure hours to music; but she played with delioaoy and expression, and as she had been content to devote her- self for the most part to one composer, she had teamed to interpret his compositions with feeling and understanding.

The late Major Knox Holmes swore by the tricycle, which, in the end, Wan the cause of his death. Some aged persons give the credit of their long lives to abstinence from tobacco, alcohol, meat, or what not; others to their indulgence in all these things. One old lady, of whom we read not long ago as having reached the age of .120 or there- abouts'maintained that 'single blessedness is the real elixir vitte, and she ascribed the death of a brother at the tender age of. ninety to the fact that he had committed matrimony in early life. M. Ferdinand de Lesseps believed in horse riding. Mr. James Payn complains that in his boyhood he "got a little bored with too much horse," In a letter recently published, M. de Les - sem. delivered himself on the subject as follows;—'1I shall always feel deeply grate- ful to Laine, my riding master, who trona my earliest years made me share his keen passion for horses, and I am still convinced that daily horse exercise has in A large measure been the ineems of enabling rne to reach my eighty-fourth year in perfect health," Carlyle was also a great rider Eamon to the end of his long life, and he not only rode, but,we believe, groomed his horse himself.

Carnescasse, a French physician, is the authority for the statement that soap is one of the most effectual germicides known. He says that the mouth is the most receptable for a multitude of germs, many of .which is most difficult to sterilize. For this purpose every sort of powder and wash has been recommended at one time or another, and then abandoned. Better than the most elaborate of preparations is plain soap, with which the mouth ahould be washed every day as thoroughly as are the bands. Not only will the teeth be kept clean and sound, but many microbian complaints of the mouth and throat, such as pharyngitis and tonsilitis, will be ward- ed off by this practice. A wet toothbrush should be passed over the soap, and then be used in the mouth, without any water. The saliva, makes an emulsion, • and the mouth is filled with suds as soon as the teeth are briskly brushed. The operation is completed by passing the bruah over the inside of the cheeks, after all the accessible portions of the teethsand gums have been gone over. ......_._., Notes Mothers should never forget that errors of diet are the caws of tneemotenthe if not nine -tenths of all illness of babies.
