It went by the name of the library ond its walls were heavily lined with books; but tha family never fiat thoro, nor was I ever fortunate enough to see it with its doors unclosed except 011 the occasion of tho grand reception Mistress Callista gave in my honor. I havo a fancy for big rooms and more than onco urged my hostess to toll mo why this ono stood neglected. But tho lady was not communicative on this topic and it was from another member of the household I learned that Its precincts hnd been forever clouded by the unexpected death within them of ono of her father's frionds, a noted army officer. "Why this Bhould have occasioned a. permanent disuse of the spot I could not understand, and ns every ono who conversed on this topic invariably gave the impression of saying less than tho subject demanded, my curiosity soon became too much for me and I attacked Miss Callista once again in regard to It. -he gave mo a quick smile, for she was always amiable, but shook her head and introduced another topic. But one night when the wind waa howl ling in the chimneys and the sense of loneliness was even greater than usual in the great house, we drew together on the rug in front of my bedroom fire, and, as the embers burned down to ashes before us, Miss Callista became moro communicative. "Her heart was hoavy, she told me; had been heavy for years. Per- haps some ray of comfort would reach her if she took a friend into her confidence. God knew that she needed one especially on nights like this, when the wind woke echoes all over the house and it was hard to tell which most to fear, the sounds which came from no one knew where, or the silence which settled after. "She trembled as she said this, and instinctively drew nearer my sido so that our heads almost touched over the flickering flame from whose heat and light wo sought courage. She seemed to feel grateful for this contact, and the next minute, flinging all her scruples to the wind, she began a relation of events which more or less answered my late unwelcome queries. "The death in the library, about which her most perplexing memory hung, took place when she was a child and her father held that high governmental position which has reflected so much credit upon the family. Her father and the man who thus perished had been intimate friends. They had fought together in the War of 1812 and received the same distinguishing marks of presidential approval afterward. They were both members of an important commission which brought them into diplomatic relations with England. It was while serving on this commission that the sudden break occurred which ended all intimate relations between them, and created a change in her father that was equally remarked at homo and abroad. What occasioned this break no one knew. Whether his great ambition had received some check through the Jealousy of this so-called friend—a supposition which did not seem possible, aa ho row rapidly after this— or on account of other causes darkly hinted at by his contemporaries, but nover breaking into open gossip, he was never tho same man afterwards. His children, who used to rush with effusion to greet him, now shrank into corners at his step, or slid behind half open doors, whence they poored with fearful interest at his tall figure, pacing In moody silence the halls of his ancestral homo, or sitting with frowning brows over the embers dying away on the groat hearthstone of his famous library. "Their mother, who was an invalid, did not share these terrors. The father was ever tender of her, and the only smile they ever saw on his faco camo with his entrance into her darkened room. "Such were Callista Moore's first memories. "Those which followed were moro definite and much moro startling. President Jackson, who had a high opinion of her father's ability, advanced him rapidly. Finally a position was given him which raised him into national prominence. As this had been the goal of his ambition for years, he was much gratified by this appointment, and though his smiles, came no moro frequently his frowns lightened, and from being positively threatening, became simply morose. "Why this moroseness should have sharpened into menace after an unexpected visit from his onco doar, but long estranged companion-in- nrm», his daughter, oven after long years of constant brooding upon this subject, dares not decide. If she could she might be happier. "The general was a kindly man, sharp ol face and of a tall thin lig- ure, but with an eye to draw children and make them happy with a look. But his effect on the father was different. From the moment the two met in the great hall below, the temper of tho host betrayed how little he welcomed this guest. Ho did not fail in courtesy—the Moorcs are always gantlomen—but it was a hard courtesy, which cut while it flattered. The two children, shrinking from its edge without knowing what it was that hurt thom, slunk to covert, and from behind tho two pillars which mark the entrance to the library, watched the two men as thoy walked up and down the halls discussing the merits of this and that detail of the freshly furndshed mansion. These two innocent, but eager spica, whom fear ralhor than curiosity held in hiding, oven caught some of ths sentences which passed between tho so-called friends; and though theso necessarily conveyed but little meaning to their childish minds, the words forming them wero nevor forgot (on, as witness theso phrases confided to me by Mistress Callista twenty-five years afterwards. " 'You havo much that most men lack,' remarked the general, as th.y paused to admire some little specimen of Italian art which had been ittieiy recciveu irom tienoa. -you have money—too much1 money, Mooro, by an amount I might easily name—a home which some might call palatial, a lovely, if not altogether healthy wife, two fine children, and all tho honor which a man in n conunonwealth like this should usk for. Drop politics. " 'Politics are my life,' was tho cold response. 'To bid drop them is to bid me commit suicide.' Then, as an afterthought to which a moment of intervening silence added emphasis, 'And f^r you to drive me from thom would bo an act little short of murder.' "'Justice dealt upon a traitor is not murder,' was tho stern and unyielding reply. 'By one black deed of treacherous barter and sale, uf which nono of your countrymen is cognizant but myself, you havo forfeited the confidence of this government. Were I, who so unhappily surprised your secret, to allow you to continue in your present place of trust, I myself would be a traitor to the republic lor which I have fought and for which I am ready to die. That is why I ask you to resign befors—' "The two children did not catch the threat latent in that last word, but they realized the force of it from their father's look and were surprised when he quietly said: " '.You declare yourself to be Iho only man on the commission who is acquainted with the facts you ure pleased to style traitorous?' "The general's lips curled. 'Have I not said?' he asked. "Something in this stern honesty seemed to affect the father. His face turned away and it waa Ihe other's voice which was next heard. A change had taken place in it and it sounded almost mellow as it gave form to these words: " 'Alphcus, we have been friends. Vou shall have two weeks in which to think over my demand and decide. If at the end of that time you have not returned to domestic life you may expect another visit from me which can not fail of consequences. You know my temper when roused. Do not force mo into a position which will cause us both endless regret.' "Perhaps the father answered; perhaps he did not. The children heard nothing further, but they witnessed the gloom with which he rode away to the Whito Houso the next day. Remembering the general's threat, they imagined in their childish hearts that their father had gone to give up his post and newly acquired honors. But ho returned at. night without having done so, end from that day on carried his head higher and showed himself more and moro the master, both at home and abroad. "But he was restless, very restless, and possibly to allay a great nier- tal uneasiness, he began having somo changes mado in the house; changes which occupied much of his time and with which he nover seemed satisli.il. Men working one day woro dismissed the next and others called in until this work and everything else was interrupted by the return of his lute unwelcome guest, who kept his appointment to a day. "At this point in her narrative Mistress Callista's voice fell and the flame which had thrown a partial light on her countenance died down until I could but faintly discern the secretly inquiring look wilh which sho watched me as she went on to say: "'Reuben and I,'—Reuben was her brother,—'were posted in the dark corner under the stairs when my father met the general at the door. Wo had expected to hear high words, or some explosion of bitter feeling between them, and hardly knew whether to be glad er sorry when our father welcomed his guest with the same elaborate bow we once saw him make to the president in tho grounds of tho White House. Nor could we understand what followed. Wo wore summoned in to supper. Our mother was there—a great event in those days—and toasts were drunk and our father proposed one to tho general's health. This Reuben thought was an open signal of pcaco, and turned upon mo his great round eyes in surprise; but I, who was old enough to notice that this toast was not responded to and that tho general did not even touch his lips to ths glass he had lifted in compliment to our mother, who had lifted hers, felt that there was something terrifying rather than reassuring in this attempt at good fellowship. Though u ii ii I -1.- to reason ovor it at the timo, I have often done so since, and my father's attitude and look as he faced thin strange guest has dwelt so persistently in my memory that scarcely a year passes without tho sceno comingi up in my dreams with ils accompanying emotions of fear and perplexity. For— perhaps you know tho story—that hour was tho general's last. He died before leaving tho house; died in that same dork library concerning which you have asked so many questions. " 'I remember the circumstances well, how wclll down to each and every detail. Our mother had gone ! back to her room, and the general ! and my father, who did not linger j over their wine—why should they, when the general would not drink?— ' had withdrawn to the library at the I suggestion of the general, whose last words are yet lingering in my ears. " 'The time has come for our littlo talk,' said he. 'Your reception augurs—' ' 'You do not look well,' my father hero broke in, in what seemed an unnaturally loud voice. 'Come and sit down—' " 'Here the door closed.' " 'Wo had hung about this door, curious children that we wore, in hopes of catching a ..limpac of the queer new settle which had been put inlo place that day. But we seamp- orcd away at this, and were playing in and out of the halls when the library door agala opened and my father cam* out. " 'Where's Sambo?' he cried. 'Tell him to carry a glass of wine in to the general. I do not like his looks. J am iruim. uust-drp tor soma medi cine.- *ihis no wnispored m choked tones as he set fool on tho stairs, Why I remomber it 1 do not know, for Reuben, who was standing where he could look into tho library when our father camo out and saw the settle and the general sitting at one end of it, was chattering about it in my ear at the very moment our father was giving his orders. " 'Reuben is a man now, and I have asked him more than once since then how the general looked at that critical instant. It is important to me, very, very important, and to him, too, now that he has come to know a man's passions and temptations. But he will never tell me, never relieve my mind, i.nd I can only hope that there were real signs of illness on the general's brow; for then I could feel that all had been right and that his death was the natural result of the great distress ol his heart. That glimpse which lieu* ben had of him before he fell has always struck me with strange pathos.. A little child looking in uu on a man. who, for all his apparent health, will in another moment bo in eternity— I do not wonder ho docs not llko to talk of It, and yot— " 'It was Sambo, who caine upon tho general lirst. Our father had not yet descended. When ho did, it was with loud cries and piteous ejaculations. Word had gone upstairs and surprised him in the room with my mother. I recollect wondering in all childish simplicity why he wrung his hands so over the death of a man he so hated and feared. Nor was it till years had passed and our mother had been laid in the grave and the house had settled into a gloom too heavy and somber for Reuben to endure, that I recognized in my father the signs of a settled remorse. These I endeavored to account for by tho fact that he had been saved from what he looked upon as political death by tho sudden but opportune deceaso of his best friend. This caused a shock to his feelings which had unnerved him for life. Don't you think t^is tho true explanation of his invariably moody brow and th* great distaste ho always showed for this same library? Though he would live in no other house, ho would not enter that room nor look at the gloomy settle from which the general had fallen to his death. The place was virtually tabooed, and though, as the necessity arose, it was opened from time to time for great festivities, the shadow it had acquired nover left it and my father hated its very door until he died. Is it not natural that his daughter should share this feeling?' "It was, and I said so; but I would si no moro, though she cast me llttl- appealing looks which acquired an eery significance from the pressure of her small lingers on my arm and the wailing sound of the wind which at that moment blew down in one gust, scattering the embers and filling the hotse with banshoe calls. I simply kissed her and advised hor 'to go back with me to England and forget this old house and all Its miserable memories. For that was the sum of tho comfort at my poor command. When, after another restless night, I crept down in the early morning to peer into the dim and unused room whoso story I had at last learned, I can not Bay but that I half expected to behold tho meager ghost of the unfortunate general rise from the cushions of the prodigious bench which still kept its mysterious watch over the deserted hearthstone." So much for the passages culled from the book itself. The newspaper excerpts, to wliich I next turned, bore a much later date, and read as follows: "A strange coincidence marks tho death of Albert Moore in his brother's house yesterday. Ho was discovered lying with his head on the identical spot whero General Lloyd fell forty years before. It is said that this sudden demise of a man hitherto regarded as a model of physical strength and endurance was preceded by a violent altercation with his elder brother. If this is so, the excitement incident upon such a break in their usually pleasant relations may account for his sudden death. Edward Moore, who, unfor- tunatoly. was out of the room when his brother succumbed—some say that ho was in his grandfather's room above—was greatly unnerved by this unexpected end to what was probably merely a temporary quarrel, and now lies in a critical condition. "The relations between him and the deceased Albert have always been of tho most amicable character until thoy unfortunately fell in love with tho samo woman." Al ladled to this was another slip, apparently from a later paper. "Tho quarrel between tho two brothers Mooro, just prior to the younger one's death, turns out to have been of a more serious nature than was first supposed. It has sinco leaked out that an actual duel was fought at that timo between those two on the floor of tho old library; and that in this duel tho elder ono was wounded. Somo oven go so far as to affirm that the holy's hand was to bo tho roward of hiin who drew the flrst blood; it is no longor donied that the room was In groat disorder when the servants fir; I rushed in at the sound ho mado in falling. Everything movable had been pushed back against the wall and an open space cleared, in tho centre of which could be soon one drop of blood. What is certain is that Mr. Mooro is held to the houeo by something oven mor* serious than his deep grief, and that the young lady who was the object of this fatal dlsputo has loft tho city." Pasted under this was the following short announcement: "Married on the twenty-first* of January, at the American consulate in Rome, Italy. Edward Mooro, ot Washington, D.O., United States of America, to Antoinette Sloan, daughter of Joseph Dewitt Sloan, also ol that city." With this notice my Interest In tho book ceased and I prepared to step down from tho chair on which I hnd remained standing during the reading of tho above passages.

Minot, president of the National Woman's Relief corps, ls an unassuming little woman witb a quiet, retiring manner, and to talk with her one would scarcely realize the strength of character and determination hidden beneath so tranquil an exterior. She ls a woman wbo has always manifested a lively interest in all those movements of the century which have brought her sex into prominence. Her leadership hns always been due to the fact that others have recognized her exceptional endowments ratber than to any personal desire or move for preferment. Mrs. Minot is a native of Barnstead, N. H. She Is a charter member of MRS. FANNT B. MINOT. Sturtevant corps No. 24 of Concord, was Its first treasurer, and has also served as corps president and in subordinate positions.

She was educated In the schools of Concord, and nfter graduating from the high school attended Wheaton seminary, Norton, Mass., where she graduated in 1807 as valedictorian of her class. In 1874 she married James Minot, a banker, a veteran of the One Hundred and Fortieth New York volunteers and a past commander of the G. A.

Woman by nature acts centrlp- etally, and by such movements alono sbe slowly executed her tasks as the first toiler.

Two members of the audience, chosen ot random, nre summoned on to the platform, where tbey superintend the task of binding tills wizard's thumbs as tightly together as they possibly can with strong cord. Some plain hoops are tho ouly other Implements used ln this trick. Standing about four yards from Ten Ichl, n Japanese lad tosses the hoops In tbe nlr, and ns he does so the "mikado Juggler," as Ten Ichl is called, catches them one on each arm, so that tbey pass through his bound thumbs and fall just above the elbow. With thumbs still securely bound he stretches out bis arms to the audience, and at a glance it is seen that the cord has not been tampered with. In order to prove that no underhand methods are made use of in this trick, the mystifying little wizard requests the members of the audience who are on the platform to clinch their fists together ns tightly as possible and on no nccount to allow them to beaomo unfastened. Then, with thumbs still tightly bound, he advances toward them and with n rapid movement performs with bis bound hands what the hoops performed on him—thnt Is to say, he apparently pusses his arms right through the clinched fists until tbey rest on the arms of the wonderiug novices.

Somo very surprising results which have attended a series of investigations made by a medical mnn In the mining districts of upper Silesia nre about to be made public. Among the many illnesses prevalent in his district lung dlsekses occupied proportionately a very low. place, and consumptive persons on coming to reside near the coal mines recovered their health after some time without undergoing nny special cure. These facts he is prepared to verify by statistics. The cures are attributed by him to the coal dust contained in the atmosphere, whleh, he alleges, has a drying and disinfecting influence on tubercle developments ln the lungs. The probability of this statement is increased by the fact that tbe well known lung remedy, creosote, is derived from coal tar, and it may possibly be present in a crude state in the coal dust in the atmosphere. It ls now proposed to erect n Banitnrlum for consumptives in the district referred to in order practically to test the efficacy of the new cure. The Story of a Grent f-.lnt. A magnificent elm tree on the Walter Wellington estalc In Lexlnglon dates from 1732 and was planted by the father of Jonathan Harrington, who was a Binall drummer boy ln the Revolutionary war.

On returning home from market one day the horse was weary and lagging ln his gait, bo to urge him along Farmer Harrington plucked a small sapling elm from the roadside to encourage a swifter gait.

The subordination or personality of the editor to the interest of the paper of which he is the controlling spirit ls with some newspaper men a belief as implicitly believed in as the Thirty-nine Articles by an Anglican, or the Wesmlnster Confession by a Presbyterian. They believe that the individuality of the man who writes should not be obtruded upon his readers any more than the individuality of the tailor who measures him for his clothes should be apparent to tho public, or than the Individuality of the barber who shaves him should be evident to everybody who sees him walk down the street. They hold that the newspaper business differs in no essential particular from any other' business, and that, if a man is qualified for his work, his paper will evidence the fact, aud he will get public support on the merits of his publication, irrespective of all personal and individual considerations. This is undoubtedly true, but not the whole truth. It is a very human characteristic to take a greater interest in any abstract proposition when it is identified with a personality. By this means each become correlatives—one is always thought of in connection with the other, and the interest of both are thereby advanced. Even in Britain, the home of anonymous journalism, many of the papers of greatest influence derive much of that influence because of association with tho personality of a man, and in America the instances are numerous where the power of a paper has simply the measure of the personal Influence of Its editor. Greeley and Watterpon are past and present examples of the truth of tnls in the United States, and in Canada many illustrations of the same truth could be cited. What made lue Toronto Globe of the last generation the '|GrIt Bible" but the personality of George Brown? What but the individuality of W. F, Luxton made the Manitoba Free Press of the 80's the power it was in Western Canada? And, in a smaller way, because of their more limited sphere of subscribers, the influence of many a Western Canadian weekly ls acknowledged to be the influence of its editor, in a direct and personal sense not usually understood. Instances of the truth of this will occur to every one vho knows anything of Western journalism— cases in which the virile personality of the man who runs the institution can be seen by the discerning, not alone in every editorial, but in every trial Hem, and almost in the makeup of the paper. There are other men who, lf not so obtrusively original, are still able, and whose paper from week to week Is almost tho only means of knowledge possessed by their brethern of the craft as to their persbnallty. Of this latter class Is Mr. W. H. Hall, of the Wolseley News, To the generality of the editors of the west Mr. Hall ls most generally known by the copies of his paper that from week to week they find on their exchange desks. And it must be admitted that the estimate formed of the man from his work Is a favorable one. The News is in many respects one of the most creditable of Territorial weeklies. Few papers bettor fulfil the manifold requirements of that often discussed but seldom seen sheet—a good local paper, Many other weekly papers in the West havo a better mechanical equipment than tho Nows but few display moro care and taste In using the facilities at their disposal. Its makoup and presswork from week to weok Bhow unvarying care. The business an nouncements of the local merchants are displayed with a judgment often looked for ln vain ln much more pretentious papers. Its record of local happenings ts in many respects a model to otlier Western editorB, the news being brightly written and well arranged. Being the only paper published in Wolseley, it places local interests above political bias, and ls altogether independent in its attitude. Tnls does not imply that the News has no opinions, or that it is a splne- leBS wobbler. On the contrary it dis- . tributes commendation or blame to both political parties as the circumstances seem to warrant, and thereby has secured the respect, not only of its subscribers ln the Wolseley district, but of the Western world of news- paperdom as a whole. The editor of the News Is Mr. W. H. Hall, whose "counterfeit presentment" adorns the head of this article. Mr. ."lall is English by birth, a west coun- rryman, having been born near Bristol. He wai. educated iu the British grammar school, ono of England's most famous schools. He has been a resident of Western Canada for more than : twenty years, coming to the country in tbe boom year of 1882. His flrst newspaper work was undertaken in Portage la Prairie a year later. In 1885 he went to Virden and took charge of the Virden Advance. For eleven years he edited that paper, re- I signing in 189G-- Three years later he took over the management of the Western Assurance Company. That staunch Canadian institution the Western Assurance Company, has emerged from one of the most trying years in the annals of Are insurance with undiminished prestige. This result is due largely to tho fact that the shareholders exuiblted their faith in the company by agreeing to write off one-half of the capital stock and placing a further $500,000 at the disposal of the dlreotors ln order that the losses Incurred in the Baltimore and Toronto coiii.agratlons might be met without disturbing the reserve funds of the company, The fifty-fourth annual meeting of the shareholders of the company was held yesterday, and a copy of the financial statement will be found ln another column of this Issue.

We gather from the information supplied by the City Council Itself that it ls the intention to ask the taxpayers to vote money by-laws to the extent of 3467/000. The Council proposes to take from this sum one amount of $_iil),U00 and another of $_o,ooo, presumably for street improvements, making a total Under that heading of $410,000, the balance to be absorbed by English Uay ■■and other miscellaneous objects. There is a very atrong divergence of opinion as to the advisability of entrusting Buch a vast Hum to the Coun- 'c'.l, which says we do not want all 'this money now, but we do want to be -able to spend any portion of it that we in our lnrinlte wisdom inuy from time to time deem advisable. We think It may take three years to carry out the works we have designed—lhat is, some lucky realdeuts will get good streets this year, while the less fortunate will -have to wait three years for their turn -and share of the expend lure of this -4410,000. In January next circumstances may arise which will place In office a totally "different set of men, with views as divergent as the poles from those of the present aldermen, and although the lat- 'ter may be quite honest in their expressed Intentions, yet they are utterly jl-owerless to bind their successors. If a portion of the money will not be re- -^Jiir-rt for three years, wherein lies the necessity of placing such a large amount in the hands of the present 'Council. If, as stated, It Is only intciid- 'ed to spend $150,000 a year on street improvements, then let each year and 'icouncH provide for the necessities as ' they arise, he they large or small. Tlie idea as formulated to borrow such a large sum of money three years ahead ■ot time ls placing In the hands of what may be Justly termed an Itinerant ' council a most dangerous weapon.

The funeral of Mrs. MaryC. Mitchell, whodjfed Taosdny uight, took place on Thursday iil'teriiroui from the family residence un the Cemetery roml. South Vancouver.

In the majority of coses walking dresses must be put quite out of the region of home manufacture. They mean tailor work, and tailor work and amateur fingers do not go together, except in the rarest cases. But a smart little frock proves the exception to the rule, for there is no reason why lt should not be successfully turned out by untrained hands. It is a speciallly attractive model at this time of the year, for though pictured in cloth, with velvet relief In the col lar and quaintly conceived cuffs, it ls equally adaptable to the linens of the immediate future, so that those who wisely take timo by the forelock In the matter of dress cannot do better than consider Its merits seriously ln this connection, The costume obviously owns a banded bolero, with a square basque at the back and cross'ng over quite low ln front, ub Its principal feature, completed hy quite one of the smartest skirts of the season for a walking costume. The coat Is thrown back with gracefully careless revere, faced with the main cloth or linen, and ls worn over one of the new lawn shirts with hemstitched giandfather frills. The chief Interest centres In the skirt, It portrays the most favored style of the moment, and Is also far and away the most important matter In making, for a lltttle banded bolero (given always an absence of special tailor effects) Is an easy enough matter to make. Short skirts seem to have finally succumbed to the charms of the box-pleat this season. This has ousted all other forms of pleating and finds serious rival only in the full umbrella-like plain skirts, for which we are primarily Indebted to the American maiden. The only variety occurs ln the spacing of the pleats, some being set with their own width or more between them; some, as in the sketch, meeting, though in no sense overlapping, a very narrow part in the immediate front being left plain. In the making of such a skirt we find one of the greatest advantages in having a pattern specially cut, for then a kindly authority has the paper pleated Just exuetly as the stuff should be, which makes Its manipulation a thousand times simpler than when only marks indicate the folding of the material. These folds should he carefully marked top and bottom on the material when the skirt ls cut out, either tacking cottons or tailor chalk being employed for this purpose. Then when the seams are stitched and pressed the pleats may be easily formed, tacked ln position, and pressed. This must naturally be a work of time and care, and after the usual pressing is complete the edge of each pleat should be pressed singly, the Iron being placed on the underneath side. This will give a sharp knlfe-Hke edge to the pleat, and Is a wrinkle worth remembering. On the coat little comment ls needed. A good f'rm interlining must be Inserted In the collar, cuffs, and the fronts to within 2 Inches of the arm- hole. For this tailor's canvas will be found the best medium with cloth, giving place to strong Irish linen when a washing coat is under manufacture. A bund slightly pointed In.front receives tlie coat at the waist, the smartly cut little basque being likewise mounted into it.

Place llis basin in a saucepan containing boiling water, add one ounce of butter, and stir them until they begin to thicken.

Finally, stir in a teaspoonful of tarragon vinegar and a teaspoonful of finely chopped tarragon.
