depend upon what i say and i have no hesitancy in telling you that if you keep on as yon are doing you will ohacge into a rat this awful prediction annoyed pat greatly and when he went home he told his wife about it of course she worked it np and told him tho priest was undoubtedly right pat was deep in thought for some time he did hate very much to give np his toddy but tho rat idea was too

morning a great many years ago a boy was lying sound asleepona bench in one of the rooms at sanssouoi the coun try palace of the king of prussia with all his clothes on verjr gay clothes they were from the trim blue jaoket with its embroid ered enffa and shining brass buttons dawn to the smart shoes with their wellpolished steel buckles but the pour little fellows face was not as gay as his dress by any means it looked sadly pale and as worn and tired as if he had been np all night so indeed he had for tough oldkvng fred erick who could work from 4 in themornlng till 10 at night without seeming a bit the worse sometimes iurgot that his poor little pageboy was not as strong aa himself and would often keep him on duty till karl fell asleep from sheer fatigue just asbe appear ed to have done now all at once a bell rang sharply in the next room at that signal the page ought to have jumped up and gone in to receive his orders for the day as he had to the first thing every morning no matter at what hour he had gene to bed bathe was so fast asleep that he never heard it and the bell rang again still more sharply without any answer then the door of tho inner room opened and ont came a very strange figure indeed it was a small lean grayhaired old man in a shabby uniform coat and a pilr of long riding boots whioh looked as though they had not been cleaned for a month and as if he were not untidy enough already he had smeared the whole front of his coat with snuff whioh fell off in flakes whenever he moved his face might have been carved in stone so cold and hard did it look but in the midst of it there gleamed an eye so large and bright and piercing that it seemed to go right through every one upon whom it rest ed but for this commanding glance one would most likely have taken him for a beggar and have wondered what business such a slovenly old fellow could have in the palace at all bnt in reality this queer shabby little old man was no other tnan king frederlok of prussia himself the greatest general and statesmen in the world and famous through out all europe under the name of fred erick the great one oould see by the dish of his eye and the set of his hard old month as he oame striding out that he was very angry at being kept waiting ad tbat a terrible scolding awaited the poor little page who lay sleeping there so peacefully knowing nothing at all about it but as the kings eye fell upon the lads un conscious face his mood seemed to change hum muttered he with the very ghost of a smile flickering over his iron face how famously the young dog sleeps 1 i only wish i oould have such a nap now and then one oan see that he hasnt got to worry himself abont governing five millions of men or carrying on war against five nations at onoe hal whats this a orumpled shcot of coarse piper whioh seemed to have dropped from karls hand was lying on the floor beside him the king picked it up and these were the first words that caught bis eye written in the shaky straggling hand of a very feeble old woman i thank yon muob my dear child for the money tbat you have so kindly sent me whioh has been a great help take your old mothers blessing for it and see that you always do your best to be a worthy and faithful servant to our master the king whom go 1 bless and preserve as be re id that simple message the soldier- kings grim face softened as no one had ever seen it soften before perhaps the memory of his own mother dead years ago rose np in his mind once more perhaps he was touched by the old womans prayer for him self or by the discovery that this had been the boys last thought before he fell asleep were all my u like that he murmured i should be the luckiest king in europe and so he has been saving money from his wages and poor enough wages they are i am sure to send to his mother well done my boy tbourt a true prussian i at that moment karl moved slightly as if abont to wake tho king noticed it and a new idea ap- appeared to strike him wbioh must have been a droll one j idging from the momen tary twinkle that lighted np his stern eyes yes that will be the best way said he to himself and a fiao surprise it will be to him stepping back into the room whence ho had issued which certainly had very little royal luxury about it for it was almost as bare as a cattle shed with no furniture save a battered old deal table and a broken cbait frederick hunted in tho table drawer till he rummaged out a well worn writingcase from ono of the pockets of which he took three gold coins these he slipped into the page pocket along with the letter taking great care not to awake him in doing so then he rang his bell violently and called ont karl come here i the sharp stern voice effectually roused onr hero who started np at once and drew back in dismay as he saw frederick keen eye fixed npon him pardon your majesty pardon 1 stam mered he iwas never mind abont that just now inter- ranted the king come inhere and get your orders as karl sprang eagerly forward to obey the money whioh had been put loosely into his pocket rolled out again and fell ring ing and chinking npon the floor hello young man 1 cried frederick yon ought to be a good deal richer than i am if yon can afford to fling your money about like that oh sire 1 cried the boy imploringly i dont know anything about this money i dont indeed somebody must have meant to ruin me by putting it into my pocket and then saying that i had stolen it no said the king gravely that money is gods gift to yon to help you in assisting your mother write and tell her that 1 know all about her and that 111 take care of her and yon too and king frederick kept his word he had learned something one day patrick o connell a little irish boy took his dinner to school and it was eaten by cats while school was in session the next morning he ate long after the others wore through and being asked why he was eating so long as he seemed to have no appetite said why the cats took my dinner yesterday so im going to put it where it will be safe graces saess grade aged four being kept indoors on account of the rain became restless and to take up her attention was given a piece of finished sewing from whioh to piok the bast ing threads after working busily for half an hour she was called to the dinnertablo after eating a few mouthfuls of string beans she said i guess god forgot to take the basting threads out of these beans he knew a teacher was telling her little boys about temptation and showing how it sometimes came in the most attraotive attire sue used as an illustration the paw of a cat now said ehe you have all seen the paw of a oat it is as soft as velvet isnt it yesem from the olass and yon have seen the paw of a dog yesem well although the cats paw seems like velvet there is nevertheless concealed in it something that hurts what is it no answer the dog bites said the teacher when he is in anger butt what does the oat do 1 soratohes replied the boy correct said the teacher nodding her head approvingly now what has the cat got that the doc hasnt whiskers said a boy on the baok seat and the titter that ran around the olass brought the lesson to an end h0qlhc0 a description of the process of ant intereat- idk manufacture the process of making glucose will be best understood aiys the american analyst by following the corn from the time it enters the faotory until it runs out at a spigot a clear odorless liquid the shell corn is first soaked for several days in water to soften the hnll and prepare it for the cracking pro cess the softenedcorn is conveyed by eleva tors to one of the highest storlasof the factory and shoveled into large hoppers from which it passes into mills that merely crack the grains without reducing them at onoe to fine meal the cracked grain is then aonduoted to a large tank filled with rinsing water the hulls of thecorn float at the top of the wter the trerms sinks to the bottom and the por tions of the grain containing the starch be- coming gradually reduced to flour by frlotlon are held in solution in the water bran ingn ions process both he hulls and the germs are removed and the ilar part now held ia solu tion contains nothing but starch and gluten this liquid is then made to flow over a series of tables representing several acres in area and the difference in the speolfio gravity of the two substanoes oauses the gluten and starch to sep urate without the use of chemicals the gluten is of a golden- yellow oolor and the staroh snow white bv the time the gluten has been completely eliminated the starch assumes a plastic form and is colleoted from the separating tsbles by wheelbarrowef ul and taken to a drying- room where it is prepared as the staroh of commeroe or

household by her unearthly screams it was over two hours before we oould calm her and strange to bay when we question ed her we discovered that she had dreamed tl3 dam had burst at johnstown and the flood had carried away her intended who was in that neighborhood and had washed his body up into a tree where she had been struggling to release it she oould net be wholly quieted bub imagined she was an angel trying to pull the body from the tree and that unless she did bo she oould not find the pathway to heaven we brought her on to see one of phila delphias noted insanity specialists and he suggested we take her to johnstown and see if the surroundings and the meeting with her intended who was not there at the time of the flood but whom bhe has slnoe not seen will not restore her she 1b very quiet is perfectly sane on all other subjects and if this delusion oan be dispelled we will be happy but the strangest part is that she plain ly desoribed twentyfour hours before the flood
