"Miss Bradford," began Hloaue, speaking very low, blushing like a schoolboy the while, "I havt brought you a small sum as a loan from a few of your fellow passeugers. You can re pu) |t at your leisure." He wae about lo place the coin ia the girl's outstretched baud when Liverpool wrenched tbe mousy from hit gnsp ami toesed it overboard. "Inul, bere!" he exclaimed, "Ibii girl is mil a beggar, and if she slauds in need of mouey I have enough for both." Hloaue was speechless with indigua tiou. Ilis eyes bla/ed wilh auger. "You d d cad," be began, and Ihen recol leeting hiluself he paused aud bit hia lip." "Oo on," aaid Liverpool; "I'm lit teniug.'' Miss Bradford," uid Hloane, igaor Ing Liverpool, "do you coouteueuce— do you approve of Ibis man's conduct t' I looked at tbe youug woman.

OBOUSE MOUNTAIN OBBBBVA- TOBV Tbo proposition thai an observutory for purposes uf astrunomical resuurelt be established ul the top of Grouse inunuiiiiii euutiot be said tu bu new, inasmuch as it was submittuil lo tlte - locul Board of Trade as early us the year 11106. The project has been befure the public intermittently since ..lattime und those who havo interested i hem, el ies more iniini.in li in its promotion huvo had the satisfaction of noting steady progress iiinm,li- the goal of thoir endeavors until at the prescnl time there are most encouraging null cations that an observatory at that point will become un accomplished fact in due course. The scheme has been strongly eudors ed by the 1). C. Acudemy of Science, it has received decisive commeiiiluliun at the bands of Mr. K, V. Btupsrl, Director et the Dominion Meteorological Service, Dr. Otto KloU, ussistant chief attrouomer Domiuion observatory at llltuwu, and utliers ul' mure ur less experience uiul prominence iu the held uf u 11"i.uu i research. Am,mi: the lucul advocates ol the movement, there is none mure able or more enthusiastic Ihun Mr. T. ■'- ll Hliearinun, resident Duminioii uslruii inner uud director of the Vuneniiver .Meteurulogicttl station who hus been indefatigable in his efforts to bring the matter to successful conclusion. Mr. j Mheurniun hus undertaken to provide j the Newtooian Ki|iiati>rial telescope measuring in diameter one hundred und twenty inches. Tlie magnitude uf the lusl: which Mr. Hhcurmnu bus set for himself will be understood when it is slated Ihut the lurgest instrument present in use anywhere iu the world is Ilinl of the telescope al Hie ob serial ory of Lord llosse in Ireland whicii measures seventy two iuches iu diameter, due lens of one hundred in. lies is ill exislenee but it is uot per lut uud ii is extremely duubtiul if lhe defects can in remedied. Mr. Slicurmnii huwever is quite sanguine of Ins ability lu produce an instrument with the ijiaineter named, thus giviug the Grouse M,u,1.1,m, observatory tbe distinction of possessing the mi: I powerful telescope iu Ihe world. Those who have inspected the pro posed sile declare that from a seien nlie poiut of view it answers admir uldy ull of Hie requirements uf tu ob servalory site. As fur elevation the I.iii, observatory is MOO feel above seu level while the Grouse Mountain intti I.iiiiiii will be slightly higher. The uf im,spin in uml other couditiom are pro tiouuecd entirely suitable for the pur pose. From Hie jmldu' puitlt of view uu observatory al the lop of Grouse Mountain wuubl be an institution ul the most attractive nature. The eon stiiietiou of Hie (liouse Mountain Seen i, I mime Itailwuy would render Hie uliM-f vutory readily , accessible to thu geueral public ul ull limes. According lu lhe pluns ul present in mind u uuiu ber of smaller telescopes v.n.,1.1 be In stalled through which visitors mighl view the heavenly bodies at any lime, while the greal telescope would be mude available lu visitors at ceilain hours on staled evenings The scheme is, Ihere fore, oue of the very highest value lelulive to the local public and Ihe louritl imiii. II is a pari ol Ihc scheme lo ulli bale tbe observatory wilh Ibe provincial university, in which case nol only wuuld Ibe great telescope provide op porluuily for suy students who might wiib lo pursue astronomical research, I ut a department would likewise be added which would be of lhe greatest service in connection with the engineer iug elasses iu the innverslly.

SCHOOL DAYS AGAIN The many thuusunds of boys aud girls whu assembled in the public ■ lm.,l., of Iho proviuee yesterday for the opening sessions uf tho autumu term aro lu be eungratulatod ou the advantageous conditions under which they are privileged to work, iu the at luiumeiit of a knowledge of the fundamental subjects iu idu,allun lt is only a just tribute to lhe intelligence uf thoso boys and girls to believe lhal Ihey duly appreciate the fortunate position iu whieb they aro placed iu this important particular. It is au errur to conclude that (he average buy or girl wends bis ur her way to school for lbe lirst sessiou after the summer holidays wilh u heavy heart carrying uuly vain regrets for the vacation thai is gone. This may indeed be Irue uf a very smull fraction who uru beluw Ihe uver uge iu physical robustness or iu mentul staiuiua, but the iniiinal boy or ;.nl while doubtless bidding "good old sum niertime" goodbye with loud memories —finds reul pleasure in reusseuiblinu wilh his schoolmates on the schooi grounds, he greets his teacher uguin witn ulITilinn (or lakes his pluee in u higher cluss with sutisfaetionj and addresses himself cheerfully to the stu dies which confront him, To depict Hie average Hrilish Columbian boy ot girl us contemplating with aversion lhe returu to his or her studies is u re Hcchon upuu the intelligence and the industry of the children which is al together unjustifiable, ll is much uear el llie murk to believe lliut while the iiuruiul child loves lo play, that child likewise appreciates the efforts of his r her parents ami of Ihe state to pro vide "i,,, iiiiuu.il facilities such as will lit lhe buy or girl to fill u creditable positiou wheu the estate of manhood or of v.,,iminiiuii,I has beeu attained and lhal he or she is prepared lo sec ond Ihu , it,nt-. made ou his or her be bulf by earnest effort lo profit by Ihe iidvuiiluges provided. 'Work while you wurk, And pluy while yuu play, Thul is the way Tu be lm|,| '. and gay" so runs Hie fumiliur couplet and it is permissible In believe Ihut the rank uud lile of scbool children today are ryatallixing that excellent precept in lu practice. The boys and girls of the North Sboro have nttuiucd u degree of sue ess ul llle several ciumiuutiuns which is positive evidence of the excellence of the loilioo which is given them ami of their readiness to respond lo lhal luilmn by Holiest uud industrious efforl iheir pari. A combination such as this is bound lo win and all well wish ers uf the chiblreu will hupe fur even belter iinni' from tbem iu thc future The greatest asset uf any community, after all, is found in the wealth of healthy, normal boys and girlt, play tug with u will aud working hard, build ng up strong bodies tod well equip ped iniiuii for filling thc poiitiont in the community aud for discharging Ihe ii-p"inii,ibtn ■ iu life which must in due course ftll to Ibeir lul.

How Drink Wai Out Out The author has a guod deal In re late concerning the moral excellence of tbe Eskimos. Thus he tells us; The Drink Evil began In HOT. Seven! men got drunk. The ciders called a meeling of tbe men. "This now ha bit ia bad," Incy said, "il will ruin the people; let us cast il out," And cast it out tbey did. "Kajusimavil'j" tbey said, "tbo iniu.l of Ihe people is made up Hie brewing and driukiug must cease." The evil was abolished; and so by Ibeir owu wish Ihc Eskimos became wbat they bad always deen, a teetotal nation."
