Sciontists and investigated, but never could agree on t.Le causes of the shaking mcun-trin alarmed end terrified tin people who live the vicinity of the trouble, who imagined that the end of time wae very near. A few days before the rumbling commenced a good exhorter had been expounding the word as he understood it to a small congregation on top of the mountain, and for a wee'e he had been powerful in his wrestling with singers, and numerous moonshiners, who carried their ticklers and jugs with them to the meeting, but without any seeming effect to bring them into a slate of conviction' or penitence.

The latter wonM give respectful hearing, but aftor service would get up a regular jamboreo and forget all the warnings the good extorter had given them, acd the latter directed his supplications in the form of immediate judgment. He prayed that the gocvi Lord would make himself known, and "shake this mounting until the poor ign'ant reprobates should be brought to a true sense of their depravity.

"The world's coming to an end," uttered by one of the family increased the alarm, and all seemed to be at their wits end, except one, who said "it must lie an eclipse riiar-3 the almanac." The almanac was hurriedly searched, but no eclipse found whereon the searcher collapsed and had to bo put to bed and the rest fell to their knees and called on thr rocks and hill- to hide them from the impending wrath. The supper was left, untasted, and the house wa filled with t.he groans and supplications of the almost crazed family. A neighbor driving by with his team stopped to inquire, and was seized with the alarm and there they wrestled until complete exhaustion put them to sleep. On awakening, the un-tasted supper was on the table for their breakfast, the team that, had stood at the gate was fed, and the family realized that they had another chance before being called to judgment.

At the same time I am ready to facilitate the judicial determination of your claims." February Ladies' Home Journal. The February Ladies' Home Journal offers more than the expected variety of literary and pictorial features. It opens with an article by Mrs.

Balliugton Booth, taking the reader through State prisons, pointing out the awfuluess of prison life, and the hopelessness of a released prisoner's efforts to gain unaided a place where he can get a livelihood. Th story touches the heart and will attact wide-sprci interast. Mrs. Lew Wallace writes of "The Murder of the Modern Innocents," a powerful and con vicing protest against the over-edncation of children. "The Story of New York's Social Life" gives interesting glimpses of Gotham society and "The Largest Ranch in the Word" describes a Texas pastur age as large as to States of the Union.

The three serials, "The Girls of Camp A ready," Miss Wil- ins' "The Jamesons in the Coun try," and "The Minister of Carthage" continue with dash and a successful interest. Two pages of the February Journal are worthily devoted to pictures of "The Prettiest County Homes in America," and two more to "Inside of a Score of Gardens." Both featurea are the inaugural parts of a series of pictures that will be interesting and useful to every home owner or lover or Nature's work. Barton Cheyney tells boys why and where they should learn and William Martin Johnson continues his "House Practical' series; "Good Furniture and Furnishing" are pictured, "Making a Home Aqua rium" is explained, and "Gowna for Unsual Figures'" are shown.

It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the the croupy coueh appears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquifies the tough mucus making it easier to expectorate, and lessen the severity and frequency of the paroxisms of cough, thus depriving that disease of all daugerous consequesces.

When a Girl Should Learn to Unlove There is a time, I believe, in love's first approach when it is not too hard to bar the door if their is reason why it should not stand ajar. A girl may not have to learn love, bat she can learn to unlove if she must, She herself must be the judge. If the man briugs her weakness instead of strength, low ideals and not high ones if he is indolent or intemperate, or unclean; if she feel that she will mated down, and not on the sweet and wholesome level on which she lives, then if she is truly wise 9he draws the bar of the door gently but resoultely and holds it fast. And when her heart aches, as it doubtless will sometimes, half out of sheer pity for him and half because she eo misses the sweet accustomedness of his presence, the "little attentions, the flowers, the tender look that stirred her so etraugely when her heart aches because of what is gone out of her life, let her hold fast to her brave sesolu- tion let her strong self whisper to her weak, pleading self, "I will be nobly mated, or not at all."

He had over done the thing, and to escape his part of the judgement, wisely de termined to not be a witness in the case.

The last one the baby, about 10 months old is the only person who will likely have the disease. All other persons who have been "suspects," have some days since been exposed long enough to have taken the disease, but have escaped it. It is hoped that this little one will escape the malady. All the patients are do-ng well most of them in different stases of recovery. So the smallpox status is most decidedly les3 discouraging than at any oth er time formerly.
