" What a dreadful day I" "I'm fairly blown to pieces." " I'm thankful we caught this car, if we did have to run for it," and the three rosy, breathless girls sank into the seat as the car moved on. After they had arranged their hair and ribbons and dress with which the boisterous wind had taken most daiisg liberties, they commenced to talk again. They talked very fast and, sometimes, all at once, in voices that were not always quite as subdued as is becoming in a street-car. At times it sound- ed as thontfh a small flock of magpies had taken possession of that end of the car, as they chatted and laughed apparently uncon- scious of the presence of any other passen- gers. The car gradually filled up, and although their tongues were so busy, their eyes were free to scan every new-comer. The hand- somely-dressed ladies were inspected with critical eyes then the three heads were drawn close together, and the three voices were mingled in loudly whispered comments. The stylily gotten-up younp; men, also, re- ceived rather more attention than they deserved, and they were discussed with frequent giggles and nudges. At the cross- ing of a fashionable street the car stopped, and young girl, about the same age as the three, entered. She was richly, though plain â-  ly, dressed, and in spite of the tempeiftuous wind, not a fold of her neat toilet appeared to be displaced. She was so sweet, so mod- est, so unassumirg, and yet so evidently aristocratic, that many admiring eyes follow- ed her as the took hei seat. " There's 6ertrud.L Eastman, " said Maud Haven, one of the ttio. " How awfully proud andstnck-np she is " said Clara Denton. " She'll hardly speak to common folks, " with a curl of the lip and a toss of the head. " I reckon I'd be proud, too," replied May Travis, looking admiringly at the trim little figure, " if my father was as rich as her's is and I lived in as fine a house." " I don't care if she is rich," said Clara, who envied Gertrude her luxurious life ' she needn't snub folks just because they are poor. It isn't money always t^at makes people worthy of notice ' this as tough she thought it was. ' Whafa lovely dress she ^has o^" said Maud., " Oh dear, I wish I could sfford to have such nice clothes, and have them made so beautifully," and Mand cast her eyes over her hcme-made dress which, notwithstand- ing much fancy trimming, lacked the artis- tic elegance of Gertrude's plainer made gown. All this time the subject of their remarks sat quietly looking one of the window, un- conscious of the interest she was creating in the minds of the three girls in the corner of the car, and of the envy that filled their hearts. How the wind did blew 1 It seemed to rise higher and blow more fiercely every moment. Angry gusts swept around cor- ners, and even the strongest man was obliged to brace hinuelf as he met it at a sudden turn. Again the car stopped, and an old woman, bent and feeble, entered,. The wind had handled her very roughly. Her shawl was twisted, her thin gray hair was scattered loosely over her pale fora- head, and her bonnet was all awry. She trembled as she stood for a moment casting her eye down the length of the already filled seats then a clear young voice at her side said, " Please take my seat," and a steady hand was reached out to guide her. "Thank yon, my dear," teplied the old lady, looking up into Gertrude's fresh young face as she sank into the seat. " That wind most tnckered me clean to death." She drew a long breath as she leaned back in the seat, but in doing so she touched her head lightly against the window, which set her bonnet more crooked than ever. Slie reached np her thin wliite hands to set it straight, but in her helplessness, only made a bad matter worse and aa the three thought- less girls in the corner witched her, a smile passed over their faoeaand a suppressed titter was heard in that direction. It was not au- dible to the old lady, who was a little deaf, but Ccertmde heard it, and she looked ooldly toward them for an iutuit, with die ezpceH- ion that Clara Denton thought so "proud and stuok-up. " Then, tumiiu to the olalaAj, who was stul struggUne valy with th* re- fractory bonnet, she said, with a sweet smile that was ndther cold nor proud, " Won'tyon let ma fix it for you r "Oh, thsDk you, deaiy," tepiiel tiie old lady, looking at her ia grMafuf nirpriee, "I wish yon would."

"lam very glad that I have been allowed to take her pkueevea tmoe," said Gertrude, gently as ahe signaled the conductor to stop the car and turning to leave she smiled her bruht, sweet smile again and said, "Good bye, grandmothen" Then she trip- ped out of a^htaad the car went on ita way. ' " Well, I do declare, if she aia't aa angel right from heaven, I never saw one," ex- claimed the old lady. "She makes some home happy, I know." Thers was silence in the comer. The three tonguee that had been runnine ao fast a short time before, were still, and t£e other passengers did not seem to be nearly as amusing as they had been. At last Mond Haven spoke, and this time in a quiet tone that was hardly recognizable as the same voice that had been speaking so loudly be- fore. " Well, girls," she said, lookinp from one to the other, " she's a thorough lady any, how." "I think she is perfectly lovely," said May Travis, ethnsiastically. " I'll never call her proud again. I tell you what it is, girls. I don't Mlieve one of na would have dared do what she did, for fear of being lanpihed at and yet just see how every one admired her for it I We did, too,* we know we did," and May nodded her head emphat- ically. 'She just did it to show off," said Clara Denton spitefully, who could not forget the look in die flashing eyes as they- rested for a moment on her. There was silence again for a moment, then Mand spoke in the same manner as be- fore, and this time there was just a slight quiver in her voice. " Girls" she said, " 111 tell you what I think. I believe it wasn't so much because Gertrude Eastman is a bom lady that she did that, as because she is trying to be a Christian. Don't you know she joined the church a litde white ago 7" " Well," said May soberly and thongbt- fully, " if it's that that makes her so lovely, I wuh I was one, too." " So do I," answered Mand softly and Clara said nothing as they rose and left the car. Gertrude Eastman went on her way, lit- tle dreaming of the seed she had sown by the waysidelthat afternoon, nor how quick • ly it was to bear fruit happy only in the thought chat she had been permitted to do a little act of kindness to the lunely old lady. Bat "months afterward, when she greeted Maud Haven and May Travis as *hey became members of the same church with herself, they told her how this little acts of hers had opened their eyes to see ihe beauty of a Chiistian life, and madethem de- sire to live one too. Saved by a Cat. 'x'here are so many stories of dogs who have saved human lives, and so few anec- dotes of pussy's helpfulness in times of emergen 7, that we gladly publish the story of a cat's intelligent devotion During the Crimean War, a little cat followed a young French soldier when he left bis native vil- lage. The lad's heart clung to thu dumb creature, and' he gave her a seat on his knap- sack by day on the inarch, and a comer of his conoh at night. When the regiment was first ordered into action, he left her in 'iiarge of a sick com- rade. He had marched aMutamile, when he saw pnss runnine behind him. He lifted her up on her usual seat, and soon the en- gagement began. Twice the soldier fell, but the oat clung fast hold. At last, a severe wound stretched him bleeding on the field. No sooner did pussy catch sight of the blood, then she seated herself upon his body, and began to lick his wound in the most assiduous manner. Thus she remained lor some hours, till the surgeon carried the lad off to the tent for the wound- ed. When he recovered consciousness, his first question was, " Shall I live 7" " l^es, my good fellow," was the surgeon's answer, " thanks to your little cat. If she had not used her tongue so intelligently, yon would have died from loss of bicod." Contrary to all regulations, pussy was al- lowed to accompany the young soldier to the hospital, where she was regaled with the choicest morsels from his plate, and became a very distinguished character.â€" [Illustrated Christ n Weekly.

Romanes has communicated to the Linnean Society the results of a series of experiments, made by him, to test the strength and acnteness of the sense of imell in dogs. The paper is reprinted in Ndture, and will be found of interest and value. He cites the case of a terrier, who oould not Jbe thrown off his master's track upon the pave- m:nt of Regent's Park, although this track was crossed and re-crossed by hundreds of fresher ones, and by thousands that were not S-) fresh. To make a test with a setter, the master had his men in Indian file, and the smme keeper brought up the rear of the line. Etch man pliced his feet in the footprints of his predecessor. The master's scent was most overlaid, that of the game-keeper was freshest. When they bad gone two hundred yards the master turned to the right, followed by five of the men, the other six turned to the left, keep- ing their usual order. The setter followed the common track with such eagerness aa to overshoot the point of divergence, but quickly regaining this point choae at onoe the track to the righc. The master and a stranger t} the dog exchanged boots and then went different ways. The setter foil owed its master's boots aod found the stranger. When the master and stranger walked the park with bare feet, the setter followed its mafter's trail, but not with the eager- ness with whioh it followed t le tndl of his boots. When he walked in new shooting boots the setter would not follow. The master glued a single thickness of brown paper to the solei and sides of his old shooting-boots. The setter did not take the trail, until it came to a point where the paper having worn away, the sole of one heel touched the ground. Then the dog recognized the trail at onccw Walking in new cotton socks left no trail that the setter could follow in woolen socks that had been worn a day,, the trail was followed, but not eagerly. The master walked fifty yards iu his shoot- ing boots, then kicked them off and carried them with him, while he walked in stock- ings three hiudred yards, then he took off his socks and walktd another three hundred yards barefoot.' When the setter was put upon the track at the outset, it followed with usual eagerness and kept np the pur- suit through the whole distance. Accompanied by a stranger to the dog, the master rode out along a carriage way, sever- al hundred yards from the house then he alighted and walked in his shooting-boots fifty yards Iwside the carriage. He then en- tered the carriage and his friend got out and walked 500 yards along the way. The setter ran the whole distance at full speed, without making any pause at the point where the scent changed. The master walked in his ordinary shoot- ingr boots, having first soaked them in oil of anise-seed. Although the odor of the anise- seed was so strong as to be perceived by a friend an honr after the trail was made, the dog fotlbwed the track ot its master, thus dis^inised, with usual speed, after having ex- amined the first thre»or four steps caref nlly, Other experiments tested the power of scent through the air. The master walked down t trampled field, by a zigzag course for a quarter of a mile, then turned to one side, got over a stone wall, and walked back toward the house. The stone wall was breast high and about 100 yards to the windward of his course down the field. The dog taking the trail at the top of the field, fcllowed ra- pidly its master's winding course. The moment it gained the "wind's eye " of the place where he waa standing, with only his eyes above the top of the wall, the dog threw up ita head, turned from the track it was following and went straight to its owner. And yet there were at the tbne aev- oral overheated laborers near it in the field. That Lut, Last light The moon hung vlorious in the tky. As heart in heart,* and eye in eye.

He is not expected to work, bnt at stated times he has duties to perform at his ancestor's tomb The most plausible view among many doctors waa that baldness was especially liable to follow .the wearing of a tight- fit sing hat, the blood vessels being con- etricced and the scalp deprived of the necessary supply of blood. But tbi« view haa been controverted by a fact brought to light about the Parsees of India. The Parsees are compelled to keep the head covered during the day by a hat so tight as to crease the scalp and possibly the skull, and at night they wear a skull cap and yet not one of them has been known to be bald. The Orientals say that worry causes the hair to fall, and it may be true in some cases. The general state of health naturally affects., die scalp, but the fact remains that no special cause can be given for baldness. Depended on Market Price.
