The next evening found Marie in t
ttindeome chamber in one of the moat
fashionable hotels of the city. She waa
thinking over the events of the day.
She had met and rehearsed with Pro
lessor Cardl as had been arranged,
Ud he had told her of the remarkable
talent ahe possessed. Never before

at all the luxuries about her she ac
knowledged to herself how wrong she

The orchestra Bounded the chord, and
Marie, forgetting her troubles, began
tier selection. Iter lond voice rang out
clearly and sweetly and won the hearts
of her audience. The applause with
which her first selection was greeted
delighted Marie, and In the height of
her success, she reached for a tele

The Chinese follow the primitive
way of printing from engraied wood
en blocks. The matter to be printed
Is first written by means of ink, upon
pnper which Is pasted face downward
upon a block of a pear or plum tree.
After the paper 'becomes, dry It is
rubbed until an Inverted Impression of
the characters is left. Then the blank
spaces are cut away and the block Is
turned over to the printer, who works
by hand. II? takes care to Ink the
characters pinlly and to avoid tear
ing tbe Impression.

Nature has not been prodigal
with everybody in the matter
of robustness. Many, all
through life, must stand guard
and combat colds, coughs,
bronchitis or perhaps more
serious pulmonary ailments.
