"I must have tuned to hila, startled by his grave voice, for he put his hand upon 'toy strut and repeated: 'I say, if, because, you know, my dear child, I have not been strong lately."

I was not surprised, nor did it seem strange at the time, that he should be speaking thus; but what greatly troubled me was tine manner in which he dwelt upon tltos° years that wore gone by, and never, bo- yond the one mention of `Edwin Drood,' leaked to the future.

It is one that children should never be alloaved to form. It may require watchful care on the part of the mother to correct it. An old remedy is to rub the finger-tips with bitter aloes. Here is a much pleasanter remedy by which a little girl was. cured, arid which I can heartily recommend. This little girl had been scolded and punished with no effect; she declared she could not help it. It happened that she earnestly desired to be the possessor of a gold ring, and this suggested the cure. She was promised that if she did not bite her finger nails for six months she shouln,have :the..ring. It seemed verhard at first and many discouraging "forgets" made it necessary to "begin"g all over again. At last it proved effective; she found she could help biting them; and site soon became proud of the improved appear- ance of her hands. Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper. At the Summer Hotel.
