There was something so grotesque, so comical in the scene that Joan, looking from the cap .to the slippers, and from those objects of art to the inflamed faces of the girls, felt the spirit of mirth rising within her, and suddenly broke into a peel of laughter. Like unfamiliar music the laugh ran though the room, and the Oda, after staring at her in amazed silence, turned 'pale with anger and commenced to pour out the vials of their wrath upon her devoted head.

Leyton from the Lea to Suaresbrook, parallel .with the southern border of Walthemstow. How ceme Leyton to be crossetl by this Mien strips Leyton, it was said, had oece -re- fused to bury a body found in the Lea; Walthamstow cause forward to do it. And in suck eases it wee the rule that tbe volunteering parish might take from the other as loch lo,nd right through to the other side as the men who car- ded the corpse could over walking in line, heed In hand and arms extended, The inconvenient result worried both parishes until the growth of popula. tion made new paddles fieceseary.- From the London Chronicle, god for free sample to Dept.

The conductor .3mila do nothing in the matter. -Very well," said the woman, "I will get my 20 cents from die next four passengers." She ex- plained the situation to the first man who boarded the ear, took hie nickel, saw that the fare waS rung up and stood her -ground till the change to which she was entitled was collected.

Some people think they only yawn because they are sleepy. But Ole is not so. You. yawn bemuse you are tired. You may Je eleepy also, but that le not the real muse of your yawning. Yon are sleepy because you are tired. Whenever you . feel like yawning, just yawn. Don't try to oppose it. if you are afraid of of. feuding somebody, suppose' you step out of the room. Time yawn to your heart's eoutent. Put your hand over your mouth if you want to, but let the yawn come. And if you are where you can stretch, at' the same time that you yawn, just stretch and yawn. This is Nature's way of stretehing and relaxing the muscles. Don't be afraid to open your mouth wide and yawn and etreteh whenever you feel like It. Indeed, if you are very tired, but do not feel like yewning, there is nothing that will rest you so,quiekly as to Mt on a streiget.back chair and, lift- ing the feet from the floor push them out in front of you as far aa possible, stretch the arms, put the head back, open the mouth wide, ancl make youref yawn. Those tense nerves will relax, the eontrected muscles will stretch, and - the whole body will be rested. Do this two or three tinies; witeu you are tired, and see what it will do. for you, PILES CURED at HOME by New Absorption Method If you suefering from bleeding, itching, blind or prorruding Piles, send one your address, and I will tell you how to cure yourself at house by the new absorption treatment; and. will also send some of this home treatment free for trial, with reference from your own loolity if requested.

My. father was a minister with six children, My mother was ready to 'enter college with lier brothers before the day of the woman's college, Now that I have children of nly men I am thankful for the thoughtful training which we six children had. We each had a small al- lowance, and at the dose of the year, if in OUP home-made diaries we could show a, balance in our favor, the amount of money we had saved was doubled and placed to our account in the savings bank. We then became the proud posses- sors of a bank book. The habit of sav- ing, with wise supervision to prevent •miserliness, makes all the difference be- tween plenty and wtiton4t in later years.
