One or the perplexities facing a conscien
tious mother, who wishes to train her chil
dren to keep tho Sabbath day "holy," anil
yet to make It a duy of cheer and brightness,
la how to occupy tho afternoon hours
When thero Is no Sunday school, with Its '
varying Interest, the tlmo Is apt to hang
heavy on both children and parents. The
old-tlmo "strict observance" is hardly pos
sible, even If It were desirable, and a re
lnpso Into Idling or boisterous play Id
neither profitable nor commendable. With
n view to suggest somo simple methods of
husylng tho llttlo brains nnd hands of reet
losa children nt this time, Mrs. 13. l'rancls
Soulo haa published an nttraetlvo hand
book entitled "Sunday Afternoons for tho
Children." It Is on enlargement of lec
tur which fcho has been giving for sev
eral yearn in various parts of New En
gland, whero they met a warm, welcome
from many mother nnd earnest commen
dation from divers clergymen. Ilcglnnlng
"fctth o preludo to tho Importance of thu
mother-work, tho author soon plunges prac
tically Into her suggestions for Interesting
tho llttlo folks In various lines of fascinating
lilblo work. Of course in these days of tho
kindergarten, of object lessons, of small
beginnings ami Increase nf knowledge of
growth, the principles of this book will bo
by no means strango to the, people who nro
already wldo awako In tho newer methods
of child education; yet even to theso there
will bo an agreeable surprlno nt the novelty
nnd Ingenuity of many of tho Ideas all
of which, by tho way, havo been worked
out In ptactlcnl operation toy tho nuthor,

"Healthy Kxorclsc," by Robert H. (Ireen,
M. I)., Is a llttlo volunio thnt ought to be
widely circulated. It Is a thoroughly prac
tical work for all who wish to keep In
good health, rather than in good training.
A book which cveryono In tho family would
lie the boiler for reading. Tho author says
of his work that it was written as nn occu
pation for some InlHure hours, by ono who
bclloves In exercise' as a means for tho
preservation or restoration of health, and
who loves Bport for Its own sake. No at
tempt has been made to record startling
new dlscoverlea or advance new theories.
The. work la divided Into thrco parts. Tho
first takes up tho theory of exercise, baths
and bathing. Tho socond part has to do with
tho choice of nn exercise, nnd tho third
part with tho different kinds of exercise.

"Tho Wheat Problem" Is a volumo aris
ing from tho comments nnd crltlclsmH pro
voked by tho address delivered 1iy tho au
thor, Sli William Crookes, before tho mem
bers of tho British association In 189S.
Tho author's words tnko the form of a
wnrnlns rather than a prophecy. He as-
sumcM that under present conditions of heed- .
Icfh culture a scarcity of wheat l within
nppreclable distance; that wheat growing
land nil over mo worm i iH..u.m..K
hausted and that at Bomo future time, not
very remote, no avallublo wheat land will
bo left. Tho nuthor urges that Instead
of being satisfied with an nvcrngo wnrld
ylohi of 12.7 bushels per acre, an effort
should bo made to bring It up to twenty
liushcls per ncre by tho uso of fertilizers,
thus putting off moro remotely tho day
nf dearth. Tho address nbove referred to
brought down upon Sir William's head a
storm of nbuso nnd nngry contradiction,
but In the volume which ho now gives to
tho public he has not modified In any ma
terial degree his former estimates as to
tho future. In hU book ho has gone moro
into detail regarding tho data upon which
he has based his calculations. The appcar
nnco of tho volumo will doubtless renow
tho dlsciittilon. 0. P. Putnam's Sons. New

Mrs. Foloy slowly climbed out of bed,

Hiram Chase, sr., was one of tho first set-
tiers of Nebraska. He located hero when tho
map-makers designated this country as the

than whites. Chase was born with a love
for adventure, which caused him to lenvo
the monotony of llfo In the cast. He had
been in Nobraskn but a Bhort whllo when ho

Among the volunteers who returned was
Armstrong. He marched In ono of the com

coming ceremonies hastened to bin home nnd
thcro donned a civilian dress, lu which ho
wandered down town to shake hands with
hU numerous friends. In reply to a ques
tion from ono of them an to whether or not
ho had seen any fighting he pointed with
tome prldo to his right eye. over which Is

"That is a relic of ono of my flghtB," said
he, "nnd this Is another. " At tho same time
ho rolled up tho sleovo covering his left arm.

three inches in length on his forearm.
Tlio worthy man of brawn went on to

of one of tho regiment's early engagements.
His place wns lu tho rear, whero ho would
bo accessible should his services be needed
for the tightening or removing of uny of tho
shoes belonging to the olllccrs' horscf. A
Mauser bullet happened to My high in tho
air and to return to the earth In Armstrong's
lmmediato vicinity. Had ho not thrown his
head back suddenly Just at the moment that
the ball whizzed by he would not havo re
turned. Ah it wns he lost his eyebrow.
It was tho forearm scar that elicited tho
better story. Armstrong wau following tho
regiment on ono of Its active days when
Irving Hale was still n colonel nnd lu com
mand. Tho colonel's horse wns sent back
to have a shoo tightened, nnd the regimental
shoer dismounted from his steed which ho
was riding. Icnvlng his snber against the
back of a bamboo shack near which ho had
stopped. Tuklng his hammer, mills nnd

had proceeded only n llttlo way with his
tnek when lie was stnrtled to seo a UOO-

whole situation nt a glance. Tho native was
between him and his horse, where his pistol
had been left, and his saber stood somo feet
distant on tho other sldo. An quick ns
thought and Just ns tho Filipino was nbout
to strlko a heavy blow, tho Colorado man
hurled his hammer in tho direction of his
foo and boundod toward tho shack to recover
his salier. The hammer did not hit the
mark nt which it was aimed, but the Fill
piuo's weapon did. It Btruck tho horseshocr
on the left forearm, cutting It to the bone.
This did not deter the American from mak
Ing things interesting for his ndvortMry,
however, for n soon ns ho could unsheath
his trusty otcel ho was brandishing It in tho
face of the black man. Tho battle that fol
lowed In thnt dismal solltudo was fierce and
to tho death. When both combatants had
been worn almost to exhaustion Armstrong
("truck the Filipino a blow that split his
skull from forehead to neck.
Then ho tightened tho colonel's horse's

So much for 100 years. Look ut tho list of
