HOSIERY.
Thord Overate, of whom we are about
to speak, was the wealthiest man in the
parish.
His tall figure stood one day in the
pastor’s study. “I have got a son,” he
said eagerly, “and I wish to have him
baptised.”
‘What shall he be called?”
‘Finn, after my father.”
•And his godparents?” •
They were named, being relatives of
Thord and the best men and women in
the district
la there anything else?” asked the
pastor and looked np.
The farmer stood a minute. .
T should like to have him baptised by
himself,” he said-
“That is to say on a week day?”
“Next Saturday at 12 o’clock.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Nothing else.”
The farmer took his hat and moved
toga
Then the pastor rose. “There is still
this,” he said, and going np to Thord he
took his tend and looked him in the
face, “God grant that the child may be
a blessing to you!”
Sixteen years after that day Thord
stood again in the pastor’s study.
‘Yon look exceedingly well, Thord,'
said the pastor. He saw no change to
him.
“I have no trouble,” replied Thord.
The pastor was silent, but to a mo
ment be asked, “What is your errand to
night?”
“I have come tonight about my son,
who is to be confirmed tomorrow.”
“He is a clever lad.”
“I did not wish to pay the pastor be
fore 1 heard how many were to be con
firmed. I have heard that, and here are
$10 for the pastor.
Is there anything else?” asked the
pastor, looking at Thord.
‘Nothing else.” A&d Thord .went
away.
Eight years more passed by, and one
day the pastor heard a noise without hi
door, for many men were there an i
Thord first among them. -The pastor
looked up and recognised him.
“Yon some with a powerful escort to
night.'
“I have come to request that the banns
may be published for my son. He is to
he married to Karen Storliden, daughter
of Gudmund, who is here with me.”
‘That is to say, to the richest girl to
the parish.'
'They say so,” replied the farmer,
stroking his hair with one hand.
The pastor sat a minute as if to
thought. He said nothing, but entered
the names to his books, and the men
wrote under them.
Thord laid $3 on the table. .
“I should have only $1,” said the pas
tor.
“I know that perfectly, but be is my
only child. I will do the thing well.'
rite pastor took up the money. “This
is the third time now, Thord, that yon
stand here on your son’s account,” he
jaHb; '
“But now I am done with him,” said
Thord. Taking np bis pocketbook, he
said good night and went.
Just'a fortnight after this the father
and son were rowing over the lake to
still weather to Storliden to arrange
about the wedding.
“The cushion is not straight,” said
the son. He rose to pat it right. At the
samo moment his foot slipped, he
stretched out his arms, and with a cry
fell into the water.
“Catch hold of the oarP roared the
father. He stood np and stuck it out
But when the son had made a few a£~
tempts ho became stiff.
“Wait a minute!” cried the father, and
began to row.
Then the son turned over backward.
Petroleum For Diphtheria.
In the village of Neuville-Ch&mp-d’Ot
sel, about nine miles from Rouen, a ma
lignant type of diphtheria broke out last
year. The country doctor, M. Frederic
Flatent, treated the cases to the usual
way, bat the deaths were numerous.
Remembering, as he says, that tfce Eng
lish use petroleum as an antispasmodic
and an antiseptic, he determined to try
it as an experiment. His first trial was
in the case of a little girl 7 years old.
He had already given her up and pro
posed to the parents to make the experi
ment, which consisted in swabbing the
throat with common petroleum. He had
little hope of the success of his new
method, but to his astonishment he no
ticed an improvement after the very first
application. He continued the treat
ment, and the child recovered. Then he
tried it successfully with his other pa
tients,
This year be had 40 cases of diphtheria
to treat, and he was successful in every
one. In order to he perfectly sure that
the cases in question were genuine ones
of malignant diphtheria he had the ex
pectorated matter submitted to the anal
ysis of Professor Francois Hue of the
Rouen College of Medicine, and the pro
fessor reported that he had clearly dis
covered the presence in it of numerous
bacilli of diphtheria. Moreover, his di
agnosis was confirmed by Drs. Deshayes,
Lerefait and Ballay of Rouen, the last
named being the physician in chief of
the hospital of that city.'
The treatment presents little difficulty
or danger. The swabbing is done every
hour or every two hours, according to
the thickness of the membranes, which
become, as it were, diluted under the ac
tion of the petroleum. The brush, after
being dipped in the petroleum, should
be shaken to prevent any drops falling
into the respiratory channels. The pa
tients experience relief from the very
first application. The disagreeable taste
of the petroleum remains fer a few mo
ments only.—-Normandie Medical#.

Thord could scarcely believe it
true. He kept the boat still and stared
at the spot where his sou had sunk, as
though he would come np again. A few
bubbles rose up, a few more, s then one
great one. It burst, and the sea again
lay bright as a mirror.
For three days and three nights the
father was seen to row round ana round
tha spot without either food or sleep—he
was seeking for bis son. On the morn
ing of the third day he found him and
carried him np over the hills to his farm.
It was about a year afterward when
the pastor one autumn evening beard
something rustling outside the door and
fumbling about the lock. The door open
ed, and in walked a tall, thin man with
bent figure and whito hair. The pastor
looked long at him before be recognized
him. It was Thord.
“Why do you come so late?” asked the
pastor.
“Why, yes, I do come late,” said
Thord. He seated himself. The pastor
sat down also, as though waiting. There
was a long silence.
Prom Beggary to Wealth.
Simon Oppasich, a millionaire who tea.
been sentenced in Vienna to seven years’
hard labor for repeatedly perjuring him
self, was born without feet or arms. His
father and mother were professional
beggars, and to his twelfth year .he was
put on the street by them to solicitalms.
Hjs physical defects brought him an ex
ceptional amount of sympathy and
goldens. He.saved his money, and in
1880, at the age of 47,-he bad accumula
ted $60,000. With this sum he began
business as usurer and real estate specu
lator. In 1888 he had increased his for
tune to $125,000 in cash, and some $200,
000 in Trieste and Parenzo real estate.
Since then he has quadrupled his wealth
by trading on the Boerse. His miser
liness led to his present troubles.
He had promised to marry a woman,
but eventually threw her over to avoid
incurring the expense of a wedding.
When die threatened him with legal
proceedings, he bought her forbearance
for 4 cents a day. This expenditure was
impoverishing bim, be told her after a
few months, and so he discontinued it
In the trial of the case which die then
made against him he swore that he ted
never contemplated marrying her, had
never promised to do so, and had. never
paid her 4 cents a day. After all this
had been proved false, he was tried and
condemned for perjury.—Boston Jour-

Eat Bananas and Torn Brunette.
Those who eat heartily of bananas may
run some ride of becoming tawny or
copper colored. This may be inferred
possibly from the peculiarities of plum
age in the turacos of Africa. As long
as the weather is dry these birds are gay,
the primary and secondary feathers her |
tog gorgeoudy crimson, bat when rain
comes the color is washed out, and the
birds seem to he humiliated and ashamed
at the transformation. But the color
returns in dry weather. The cause of
the coloration has been traced to copper
in a very pure state. A single feather
burned gives the characteristic indica
tion. The source of ihe turacin has now
been traced to bananas, on which the
turacos feed chiefly. All the aborigines
who make bananas a diet are very deep
ly tinted, but the color is sooty rather
than red. The North American Indian
cannot owe hisvoppery hue to bananas.
He has only known of this frniton reser
vations and chiefly by the peelings.—

Malting Marble Oat of Chalk.
In nature marhle ts made out of chalk
by water, which percolates through the
chalky deposits,- dissolves the chalk par
ticle by particle and crystallizes it, moun
tain pressure solidifying it. It has been
found that similar results may be ac
complished by chemical means. First,
dices of chalk are dipped in a color
bath, staining them with tints that will
imitate any kind of marble known. For
this purpose the same mineral stains are
used as are employed in nature. For
example, to produce counterfeit “verde
antique” oxide of copper is utilized. In-
like manner green, pink, black and other
colorings are obtained. Next, the chalk
dices go into another bath, by which
they are hardened and crystallized, corn-
