From one persou there comes no present, but something that Signe, 'values more highly, per- haps, than any of her trinkets. It is only a short note of good wishes, ex• pressed with genue mournfulness, and it is signed "Lilian. Blyte." Signa, when she read that .note. knew that the pritud mother was aware of that scene In the tower, and understood it all; and there were tears Jit Sig,na's eyes as he put that small crested piece of paper in some hidden receptacle. SW Sir Frederic she had Deard noth- ing since that terrible, yet delighttul night, excepting that be was abroad, no one knew exactly where.

"Of . course, you can't be married from the Rectory, my dear," Lady 'Rookwell had said when Lord- Dela- mere had at last persuaded Signe to name the day -"that's impossible. ln the that place, the Rectory wouldn't hold the guests; and in the next, the lase and bustle would send Your aunt into hysterics. The best thing you can eo, my dear, is to come here; we shan't go into hysterics, and we shall ,enjoy the fuss and bustle; and as for Laura, it will simply be a god -send to her, She has been so mixed up with the affair, that alie couldn't feel more interested if she 'were going to marry Delamere herselt-evbech she tvould very witch like to do!"

At Ochrida, in Macedonia, and in some villages of Sardinia, says Liter- ary Digeet, a fine white earth forms an essential part' of the local bread, aud is brought to market together with other articles of food. Other countries in Europe where earth is eaten are Trevisco, in upper Italy. Styria, in A.ustrie, end certain parts of Germany around the famous Hyff- hauser,..and in the heath of Luneburg. Here the workingmen butter their bread with a fine clay nicknamea Ity them "stone butter." Finally, in the northernmost parts ot Sweden, and on the Peninsula of Kola, in the govern- ment of Archangel, a fine clay, cleaned of mud and pulverized, is mixed with Hoer to make the bread_ tasty. But the real home a! earth eating is Asia. The famous earth of Nishaptir, Persia,. Is used either raw or roasted, and is often prepared with spices and perfumes According to the traveller Sailer, -the Eskimos are great con- sumers of various kinds of earth. Passing to India, we are told. bY Dr. Rabitsca that in the markets of Calcutta burtned clay is offered for sale in the shape of small disks. The women are its principal consumers. Women and children hi Siam consider steatite a delicious dainty. The women of the coast towns of Java swallow their ample in the form ea small tablets or tubes, mainly with the purpose of preserving their slim- ness. Upon the 3sland of Timor, of the Malay Archipelago, burial clay is consumed with solemn religious rites. The earth-eating centres of Africa are. Nubia and certaiu parts of the western coast. The negroes at Guinea, for instance, have become so fond of thelr cotme that no means of persuasion le Wong enough to pre- vent their overeating. On the shores of certain rivers in Senegambia the natives use a White, soapy earth, as soft as butter,. to replace fat in the preparation of their food. The inhabitants of New Guinea con - sumo great quantities of a greeuisli soap stone, while the II:gives of New Caledonia eat a ferruginous clay either " .e‘to our fresh pr preserved in the form ot dried, perforated cakes for their dos - sort. classical land for earth-eating. according authority, is South America, where we meet with it under its most various forms, from•the Rut Grande del Norte down to Parana and Pilcomayo. In maity parts of Mexico earth is eaten passionately, not only "So glad it le a fine morning," sho says to her grace, who has deemed it necessary to come in her most re- splendent feathers, and who looks as if, barring the bonnet; she were going to court.

But I eouldn't disappoint you, to say noth- ing of the bride. Where is she?" And Ile looke around' as It he ex- pected to see Signa. Laura laughs delightedly. "Upstairs, of course," she retitle& "You didn't expect to see her on view before the ceremony, did you?" "1 didn't know," said the duke, humbly, "or I forget. I hope she's well.

The late Lord Derby once said that "a frecittent smile or a cheerful coun- tenance was just as necessary tor the welfare of the human triteue as water was to a plant." Something like the following was observed in "Hamilton's favorite shopplag place" on an artiste ea/1Y Painted card: We receive our greatest lessons In the realm whore nature rules; , It brings cheer and patience Every mile, A.nd the greatest of all lessons In the oldest school of rules Is our work is far more welcome If we smile. *ct Minard's Liniment Cures Diphtheria. • Investment - Investment and SpeculatIoui When any one le buying a coat or a fishing rod or a rose tree or laytug down a cellar or sett!ng up a library. either he knowe what he wants, where to get jt and wnat to pay for it or else he takee earnest couneel with Wm friendo and with the mcet truetworthy profeettional advetera that he can find and teat all the wits that he and oth- ers can bring to bear on the subject in order to make mire that Ilia purchase itt prudently conducted. ele attends ;tales, rummages in shops and die- eueees the matter in his ('M) until he and it are voted a nutoance. lf only half c,s mull time and trouble were devoted to the careful eelection of ha yestmenta there would. be fewer had companiee, unitertmuloes promotere and ornamental directors. the world would be very much richer, and ice rlehee would show lese tendenev to gravitate into queetionable hands. - Clornhni 1agazine. by childrou and women. but by grown men, and in the markets of Guadala- jara, San Luis, Puebla and other towns, pastils of White burned clay are offered as dainties. The inbabit- ants of Guatemala use instead ot. powdered sugar a white and yellowish earth, probably an effervescence of volcanac ashes. On the western coast of our continent we find earth-eating Populatiobe from Colombia to Bolivia. 'Evidently, earth-eating is not limited to any particular latitude, although Moro prevalent in the troplcs. Women are its principal adepts. One author- ity does not agree wtth the famous ethnologist, Dr. F. von Keliwald, in finding a close relationship between malaria and earth-eating. The ultimate reason's for this diete- tic curiosity are manifold: Necessity, Ike agreeable, salty .taste, and per- -version ot appetite, generally met 'with in people suffering from chlorosis and hysteria. Sometimes, hOwever, Itis the medicinal instinct, the craving for a cure for certain. dainty tropical sicknesses, which drives man to in- dulge tn this strange dainty. This explains the use of earth by some of the greatest phySicians Of Antiquity. Curiously enough, earth-eating, it not abused, is not detrimental to health.
