Tho invalid mother smiled gratefully
up in her daughter's face. Rellchen was
her only child, and since her husband's
death this girl had been (hit ]lreudtviunor
and sole support of the helpless' woman.
"Dear child," she said, "a now mat-

no bed at all, and so must needs Iia upon

than these!"
Nevertheless Rellchen could not glue
up the hope of somehow contriving a
new soft bed for her mother, arab since
to buy a Wool or horsehair mattress was
not to he thought of, elle tried to think
of something that would answer the pur-
pose without expense. A.t last a bright
thought struck her. "What a donkey I
amt' she said to herself, "not to have re-
niembered before that there is a staling
that should answer quite well, and cost
nothing but a Mlle time and trouble."
For, eure enough, down by the river,
just a mile or two away, close by the
plaeo where she caught the little cray-
fish in the season, was a marshy spot,
which was thickly covered wills the sort
of wild cotton plant What grows in the
North of Europe. In the months of Au-
gust. and September the pads were open,
and the snowytufts were to be seal
ready to scatter their minute seeds when
the wind should blow them out of their
envelope.
"Why should I not make for mother
a new bed out of this cotton ?" she said
13 herself; and,forthwith
site
set aboutL
the carrying ot of herplan.
Her couAllis,
L a and Fritz, tz brought
ht
their bout t[z her aid, and the three
young fniks loaded it with cotton, stems
and pods, 'then Liza mid Fritz returner(
in lite boat to their starting point, un-
loaded their cargo into a shed by Reit-
chen's kerne, and roved back for ano-
ther load, Rellchen, mennwhlle, (tiling
her creel with. crayfish and wet moss,
and then setting to work to gather as
much of the cotton as possible,
For several days the young people
made these expeditions, until Rebtchen
at length felt sure she find enough ma-
terial for her navel experiment.
She and her cousins first picked out
all the cotton fluff, and put It into a
coarse canvas bag. This bag, after be-
ing closely stitched up, was baked for
hours in the great brick oven from which
the huge loaves of brown bread had just
been taken. This long -continued heat
was to kill any insects or germs there
might be in the cotton.
After baking, the fluff was carefully
looked through, and any pieces of stalk
or 'sheaths of pod ware taken out.
Rellchen had by her a piece of coarse
unbleached calico; she took this for her
mother's naw mattress, and stitched it
strongly all round, save aL sue end. In
at this opening"she put the cotton, and
after filling the huge bag site sewed up
this end too.
"Why, what is this, my Rellchen?"
said the mother, when, after sitting in
the armchair to have her bed tnade, she
was helped'tenderly bask by her daugb-
` ter, and found her poor crippled limbs
resting easily and painlessly upon a soft
and yielding mattress. "Whence luist
thou Illis lovely soft bed'?"
"Why, mother, God sent it, lie made
the wild cotton to grow, and he put it
into my heart to use it, So I baked and
prepared 11, and stitched the covering,
and put in the stuffing, and 10, this bed,
with which my ibIlo another 10 so much

How many of us ever stop to consider
the chances that play so great a part In
our daily lives? Very few do so, unless,.
perchance, they happen to be taking out
ail insurance policy. Insurance com-
panies have, of course, to use a slang

IIELIGiOUS WORK FOR LONG LIFE.
Their life tables tell you alt sorts of
curious things. For instance, that If yeu
aro a clergyman you have a better
chance orf living to man's full span of
three scoro and ten than if your proles-
sioet is that of a doctor. Yet, oddly
enough, a doctor, in spite of the risks he
runs from infection, has a. better chance
of life titan an attorney, while the latter's
life chalices are better then those of '0
coachman's; 184 coachmen out of 10 000
die for every 168 attorneys. The life
chances are worst of all for innkeepers
and cabdrivers, if the deathrate for
1(3,000 Englishmen is 180 per 10,000, that
of cabdrivers IS 260, and 01 innkeppers
270.
Between the ages of 25 and 65, a wo.
man's chances of life arc distinctly bete

ing. 19 men die between those ages for
every 16 women.

THE MOST DEADLY DISEASES.
They are bronchitis and consumption.
Out of every million English people
nearly 3,000 succumb yearly to diseases
of the throat, and fully 2,000 to consump-
tion. Third in point of deadliness comes
heart disease, which carries off about
1,400 yearly out of each million of the
British people. Cancer and apoplexy
send each about 500 to their graves,
while the danger of smallpox is so slight
as to be less than one-hundredth of that
of cortsumpilon.
With all its fogs, London is not an
unhealthy place to live In. Your chances
of living to an. old age in London are
better than in either of the next two
largest British towns. Out of every
4,000 London babies no fewer that 124
lire to reach the good old age of seventy -
nee, while o1 1,000 Glasgow children
only 87 do so. In Manchester your
chances of long life diminish still fur-
ther. It Is 100 to 6 against ibo resident
of Manchester reaching the ago of
seventy -Five. 1f you live at 13r•igtlon
your changes are much rnore rosy then

For instance, a ten -year. -old boy can only
expect to live just under 48 ,'ears, while
a ten -year-old girl is justified in expect-
ing to live another 51 year's 6 months.
This superiority holds good all the way
through life, and even at 65 a woman's

and fifteen will not die within the next
twelve 'months. When you, are twenty,
the cicences are 100 to 1 in your favor.
At sevonly-five tL is still 8 to 1 that you
survive foe another year.
If you are between twenty and thirty,
the chances are about 13 to 1 against your

A quct.lion that often arises and is
seldom answered twice in the same way
is as to why iia hair falls out on the
Lop of the head and not at the back or
on the sides. T'ho old-fashioned theory
is that baldness occurs within the lines
marked by a man's flat, and as nobody
has ever offered conclusive proof to the
contrary, that explanation may be the
correct one,
The ease was stated not so very long
ago to two very intelligent barbers. Ono
of then thought that the reason why
baldness occurred at the top of the head
was that the brain camo closest to the
surface there, and this being an age In.
which many brains ere kept going at
high_ tension, the abnormal amount of
blood thus carried to the cranium pro-
duced a kind of Paver in the upper scalp.
Fevers, as is well known, often result in
the failing out of the hair.
The second beeber gave variety Le the
discussion by enlarging upon the' no-
tion that be bad formed from the obser-
vation and reflection of many years.
"You will notice," said he, "that, the
first hair a baby has cones on the top of
the heed, and falls out before the child is
many woehs old. Tho hair that comes
to stay grows thicker and stronger on
[.lie sides and at the back, and I have an
(den that the growth on the top of the
head is always the weakest.froln infan-
cy to old age."
But how do you account for the fact
that women do net grow bald as men
do?"
"Account for 1t I I don't have to ac-
count 'for It"" replied the ready -witted
barber, "It isn't so. Wily, I used to
work in an establishment where they
had nine ehoirs in the men's depart-
ment and eleven in the women's, and,
1 want to dell you that I learnt some
Things there that the average man—and
