however, before it reappeared nearer

No John came, however, and the log

a Joyous splashing. Hud drew the

lies warm ami shoal above a great
apron of submerged land fully a mile

Its flippers struck violently, and sent
up a boiling cloud of sand. Confused
and Winded by the violence of its
fright, it turned and slanted upward
Jin (he surface, where it lay pulling
like a naphtha launch, its limp flippers
swinging with the sway of the water.
A few seconds later Hud's streaming
yellow head bobbed up close behind it.
The boy had the line tightly clutched
in his bands, and hardly waiting td
f tliaJL gsifT.y-fttike the necessary breath, he pulled
himself forward with a strong quick
pull. The fort? part of the loggerhead
sank instantly, but before she had
gathered her trailing flippers under
hrr. Hud was on her back, all ten fin?
gers booked about the thick front edge
of the shell.
The loggerhead, for obvious reasons,
has no enemy but man. and this partic?
ular loggerhead had led a long and
pottering existence of unbroken peace.
To say that it was frightened would
do scant justice to its state of mind.
Down it went with a rush that tore
white streaks through the water, but
this time it did not strike the sand.
it turned as it neared the bottom and
skimmed along just above it. Its pow?

been in peril before, but never liad

and tenso seemed to knot within his
head. He must, if it were possible,
draw up his knees to the centre of the
shell and fashion his body into a sort of
drag or breakwater. It was a trick
which some of the "reefers" declared
'.voald invariably force a turtle to come
to the surface.
It had sounded easy; but in the pens,

Sir Heavy trrlaff'g Dream.
Sir Henry Irving, whoso projected
? irr of this country has. according to a
laondon cable dispatch, been postponed
for a year, recently declared, says the
London Standard, that he has been
taxed with preaching an Impracticable
doctrine, viz.. the organization of tin?
theatre by the municipality. Somo
critics had insinuated that he wanted)
to hand over the whole control of local
affairs to the members of the theatrical
profession, and especially to make sure
that actors were elected as mayors. Ib
had never contemplated such a serfOUfl
revolution, although ho coadd mention
actors who, if elected to the office of
Chief Magistrate, would turn out to bo
grave and methodical men of business.
Bat he was no CTinmill, it never oc?
curred to him to propose anything more
alarming than the administration of
the theatre as a branch of local govern?
ment, just as they administer the water
supply and other needs of a groat and
growing city. Hut it was a dream.
He saw no prospect of inducing people
to believe that the civic authorities
might charge themselves with the sup?
ply of rational entertainment as they
had charged themselves with the sup?
ply of wholesome water, although the
one necessity was nearly as great as
the other.

The People's Schools.
The schools belong to the people
and will be what the people make
them. It Us a mistake to suppose that
school officers and teachers are the
only ones that have to do with the
making of the schools. The people
set the pace for tho teachers and
school officers. If a school officer
does not meet tho ideals of the people
he is turned out at the first election.
If a teacher does not meet the ideals
o? the people tho teacher is quickly
reached through the school officers.
So it gets back to the people in the
end. The man that thinks the schools
are not good, enough should set him?
self about having them improved. It
Is astonishing how much one person
can do to improve the schools when
ho sets himself about it.?Henry F.

MOTHERHOOD
Actual Sterility in Women Is Very Rare?Healthy
Mothers and Children Make Happy Homes.
\
Many women long for schild to bless
their homes, but because of some de?
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia *E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compcmnd more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
?'ives tone and strength to the entire
emale organism, curing all displace?
ments, ulc?ration and inflammation.
A woman who is in" good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of a g-ood constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity ?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointments at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.
