CURED.
Mrs. Lydia A. Fowler, Electrio Street,
.Amherst, N.S., testifies to the good effects
of the new specific for all heart and nerve
troubles: " For some time past I have
been troubled with a fluttering sensation
in the region of my heart, followed by
acute pains whioh gave me great distress
and weakened me at times so that I could
scarcely breathe. I was very much run
down and felt nervous and irritable.
"I had taken a
great many remedies
without reoeiving
iiny benefit, a friend
induced me to try
Milburn's Heart and
Nerve Pills. I had
Only been taking them
a short time when I
felt that they were
doing me great good; so I continued their
use and now feel all right. I can heartily
recommend Milburn's 'Heart and Nerve 1 c
Pills for nervous prostration."
Mrs. Fowler adds: " My daughter, 11
now fifteen years of age, was pale, weak it
said run down, and she also took Milburn's so
Heart and Nerve Pills for some time, and w
is now strong, healthy and vigorous."

Marriage and maternity have for me proved
uninteresting, but 1 have endured theca for
your sake and fur the sake of the boy while
he wus quite young. Had he been in any way
an unusual boy 1 *night have found life more
tulerablu. To develop his mind would have
been an interact fur tae. Ile might have shared
in seine degree my aspirations after a fuller
intellectual life. But he is a healthy, hand-
some, quite commonplace boy, Who will grow
to what you would cull "a honest, (led fearing
man" without my help. He has an excellent
governess, and your good mother will doubt-
less come frequently to worship you both. I
wish 1 could' free you of me altogether, and,
as you aro out the sort of man to bear with
equanimity any curt of scandal or publicity,
you have my promise that the life I load shall
be such as can give you no cause fur offense
other than the fact that 1 lead it away from
you. Fur your never failing courtesy and kind-
ness 1 thank yon. Believe me, I shall always
have the sincerest affection and respect for
you. The feet remains, however, that I ean-
nut lead your life, and you can lead no other.
Let us then separate and go our different ways

In every conventional and actual sense I am

There was nothing in the letter that she
had 1101 said to hitt many times during
the last six months.

and the realization stunned hint. Ile felt
old and numb. The roar of the beck in

i:t ears, and he gazed out into the gathor-

iuus that it was dark and chill every-

There was a knock at the door, and a
rvant canto in, snying, "Please, sir,

conte to him if ,'ou are not too tired."
Dragging himself out of his chair, he

There was a curious little catch in Vera's

The silence was unbearable. It was so
1ohe1y. Thomas Warden could not sleep.
He got up and walked about his room.
Only 1 o'clock! The night had hardly be-
gun.
The moon shone brilliantly, but the
wind blew shrewdly through the open
casement, May nights are cold in the
north country.
He went into the dressing room and
looked at Angus. "If she had only Loved
the boy -if she had only loved the boy."
He could have forgiven her feral] the rest.
A just and tolerant man, he knew his own
limitations. He granted to the full his
wife's intelleotual superiority, but she
might have loved the boy.
"goodness and mercy all my life shall
surely follow me." Why did those lines
ring in his head? And then there always
followed the sentence in his wife's letter
-"I cannot live your life, and you can live
no other."
It was true; he could live no other. But
the boy -why did she not love the boy?
He drew up the blind, and the mellow
moonlight fell on the sleeping child. Sure-
ly he was a goodly ohild, so comely and
kindly and honest. As he looked at the
boy his heart went out to him, He did not
stoop and kiss him as a woman would have
done; he reverenced too much this fair
sleep which wrapped him round. He went
back to his own room and got a pillow.
Then, laying his 'wig length on the floor
beside the little be91. and with the child's
psalm stilt sounding in his ears, he, too,
slept.
Tho room was flooded with moonlight
when Angus awoke. There was a sound
of regular and heavy breathing. Angus
felt puzzled -puzzled, but not in the leash
afraid. Such breathing must conte from
a loan or a dog; from 111011 and dogs the
child had experienced nothing but kind-
ness. He sat up and, listening, looked
about to see where the sound came from.
He shook his hair back from his forehead
and rubbed his eyes, Yes, he Was not mis-
taken; it was his father who ]ay there on
the floor beside his bed.
Angus rose softly and touched his fa-
ther's bare fent. They were very cold.
"Poor dad!" ho said to himself, "And
hint so tired!"
Then suddenly he retnem bored his moth-
er's words, "You must take caro of fa-
thor," It was bad to sleep without a cov-
ering. Grannie had told hint that. He
pulled his little quilt off his bed and laid
It lightly on his father. To his delight,
the sleeping figure never stirred; but the
quilt was short, and Thomas Warden was
long. By no afnotlnt of stretching wonld
it cover both his shoulders and his feet -
poor cold feet! Then Angus was seized by
011 inspiration, which even his mother
could not have celled quite commonplace.
He lay down at his father's feet and, un-
bottoning the Packet, of the new sleeping
suit, he cuddled up so that the cold feet
rested on his own warns brenitt. Then he,
too, fell asleep.
Tho kindly moon shone in upon them,
and it was very still,

light had divulged to -pearly dawn. Ile

TEACHING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
An Arctic, School Where There Were Few
Textbooks.
Miss Anna Fuloomer writes an article
for Tho Century on "Tho Three R's at
Circle City." Miss Fulooner says:
The greatest drawback to my school
work was the lack of books, Naturally
most of the children _ • iuirod chart and
primer, neither of which was included in
the school outfit, nor could they be ob-
tained at Circle City, Had there not been
a good blaekboard and a plentiful supply
of crayon I scarcely know how I should
have managed. I would group the little
ones about me at the blackboard and make
up the lessons day by day in both printing
and writing. They liked to write -it
canna easy to then, -and each one tried to
make his writing look plainer and neater
than that of Itis fellows, The little ones
were ambitious to read out of books, ''like
the big girls." As I had none for them,
they hunted up "books," as they called
then", seizing upon stray leaves from nov-
els and pieed of newspaper.
A good many grown girls and boys were
just learning to read. They were ashamed
and awkward at the blackboard, and at
first did not progress as fast as the little
ones. This "facie such uphill work and
was so discouraging that I was afraid I
would lose many of the older ones alto-
gether, At this juncture, however, the
missionary of the church of England, who
was stationed for the winter at Circle City,
kindly helped me out by the loan of a
number of books, slates and pencils.
Among these books were six primers and
first readers. How happy I was to get
them, even though they had to be divided
among 26 children! I doubt if such a
medley of books was ever before seen in a
schoolroom -a set of ordinary schoolbooks
for intermediate grades, including a Phys-
ical geography and a world's history;
English readers, spellers and little paper
covered arithinetics ; 20 pages from ' Chris-
ty's Old Organ," about half of the New
Testament, 100 pages from "The Woman
In Whito," parts of four other novels,
newspaper scraps and a couple of the
queerest possible little religious primers,
published by a London tract society. The
leaves of some of the books were yellow
with age, having been taken into that
region by some miners who had studied
them 60 or more years ago. It was amus-
ing to watch the children spelling out the
words and trying to read in those scraps
of old books and papers.

A Profitable Smell.
On an outlying portion of Lord Rose-
bery's estate at Dahueny there are shale
mines whioh for many years have paid
large dividends to the company working
them. When the wind is in a certain di-
rection, the smoke and smell from the
works are occasionally parried ea far as
the mansion.
Oneday when they were exceptionally
perceptible a visitor ventured to express
to his lordship his surprise at hie permit-
ting such a nuisance to exist in the local-
ity. The prompt reply of Lord Rosebery
was, ''Ah, my friend, however unpleasant
it may be to you, to the it is the smell of
