Aa nothing definite has biendecidid on T cm only answer these question*! in a very gem nil manner; but lho date will be directly preceding thu Kelson Fair, the object being to select a diitriot exhibit for the Nelaon Fair, from the fruit, etc., shown at onr exhibition. We can advertise this part of the country well by .sending in a first-rate district exhibit to Nelson; whereas if we exhibit ns individuals our successes pass unnoticed. There seems to be a moat extraordinary show of fruit luls this year, and unless a disastrous frost occurs, ue should have a really good fruit crop. There are fruit spurs even on my young Northern Spies, four-year-olds. Northern Spies are generally considered very lato hearers nnd it will be very ln- teres'ing to watch if tiiese buds develop into fruit. La*t 3n���inner was a very good ono, and all fruit trees that wero given a fair chance made* a splendid growth, and are in a particularly vigorous and thrifty conditio:-. Last year apples wero rather scarce, nnd this also will help to account for lho genoious manner in which the trees nro budding out. Win n wo realize how much cheaper and easier it is to enrich our lands by growing clover and ploughing it. in for manure, than either to use farmyard manure, or buy artificial manures, wo shall be far on our way towards making a success of fruit growing in this country. For (2.50 you can buy enough rod clover seed to sow an acre, and you can sow and harrow it in with Utile trouble. Even after a crop of hay has beei'vtaken off, the roots of the clover alone nre estimated to be equal loin tons of farm* vnrd manure per aero. True, it, has to ho plowed in, hut so also would the farrayard'tnanure. It is more evenly distributed than farmyard manure usually ic, and it has an even better mechanical effect on tho soil. J. C. HARRIS. Handing Him a Bunch The Editor of the Nelson News is a man after our own heart when it comes right down to scalping knocker*5. Read on,���all tho following is from his pen, and for it he deserves the thanks of the Kootenays:. "Recently Rev. H. S.

Rev. H; S. Magoe lied and lied deliberately when he told the Globo reporter that the extremes of atheism and anarchism wero rampant in tho Kootenays. Whnt he learned about the brothels and whisky shops in the Kootenays we can only infer from hia familiar reference thereto, hut we do know that Mr. Magee if he spoke the truth, would admit that there is more drunkenness and vice prevalent In any Ontario town of the size of Nelson, Cranbrook, Rossland, or Kaslo, thnn in any of those towns at any time of the year. Mr. Magee spent a Sunday in Nelson and ii he wero not amoral pervert he would have acknowledged to the world that in no town in the dominion is the Sabbath better observed.

HOLTIES Author of "Dor* Deane," "The English Orphans," "Leaa Rivera," The Rector of St. MarkV "Tempest and Sunshine," Etc. (Continued) CHAPTER XVIII. Grandma Markham was dead, and the covered sleigh, wliich late in the afternoon plowed its way heavily back to Aikenside, carried only Mrs. Noah, who, with her forehead tied up in knots, sat back among the cushions, thinking not of the peaceful dec* gone forever to the rest which remains for the people of God, but of the wayward Guy, who had resisted all her efforts to persuade him to return with her, instead of staying where he was not needed, and where his presence was a restraint to all save one, and that one. Maddy, for whose sake he stayed. "She'd be vummed," the indignant old lady sftid, "if she would not write to Lucy herself if Guy did not quit such doin's," and thus resolving she kept on her way, while the subject of her wrath was, it may be, more than half repenting of his decision to stay, inasmuch as he began to have an unpleasant consciousness of himself being in everybody's way. In the first hour of Maddy's bereavement he had not spoken with her, but had kept himself aloof from the room where, with her grandfather and Uncle Joseph, she sat, holding the poor aching head of the latter in her lap and trying to speak a word of consolation to the old, brokenhearted man, whose hand was grasped in hers. But Maddy knew he was there. She could hear his voice each time he spoke to Mrs. Noah, and that made the desolation easier to bear. She did not look forward to the time when he would be gone; and wheD at last he told her he was going, she started quickly, and with a gush ol tears, exclaimed: "No, no! oh, no!'' "Mnr*dy," Guy whispered, bending over the strange trio, "would you rather I should stay? Will it be pleaS- ap'^.. for y0Ui jf j do?" "Yes���I don't know. I guess it would not be so lonely. Oh, it's ter- rib'e to have grandmother dead I" was Maddv's response; alter which Guy would have stayer! if a whole regiment of Mrs. Noahs had confronted him instead of one. Maddy wished it; that was reason enough for him: and giving a few di- rortinn-* to John, he stayed, thereby disconcerting the neighboring women w-hr* cnme in to perform the last offices for the dend. nnd who wished the young man from Aikenside was any- wb"- Ivit there, watchine them in all *i*oir movements, as they vainly fancied he did. Rut Guy thought only of Maddv, watching her so carefully that mors then one meaning glance was exchanged between the women, wbn rtv��Ti over the innnimate form of the dend. spoke together of what "TiifrM nopsihlv occur, wondering what 'would be tho effect on Grandpa Mark- h***" nnd Uncle .Tosenh. Who would tnlip onre of them? And then, in case Mnddv should fee] it her duty to stnv there, ns they half honed she would. fhr��v foil to pitying the young girl, who sepmed now so wholly unfitted for the burden. To Maddy there cnme no definite idea pf the future during the two i-it-tvc .hat white, rigid form lay in the d*.rl.pnpr. cnttnue; but when, nt In-' the deep grave made for Grand- m* Mnr'thnm was occupied, and the lourm**. in the little front room was emntv���when the Aikenside carriage, ���whi""* had been sent dnwn for the use of the mourners, had bpen driven awav. tatting both Guy nnd Mrs. Noah ���when thp npirrhbors. too, had gone, leavine* onlv herself and the little hired rriri p;tf,*-n^ by the evening fire, with the grandfather and the imbecile Uncle Joseph���then it was that she first began to feel the pressure of the burden���began to ask herself if she co'ild live thus always, or at least for many years���as long as either of the two helpless men was spared. Maddy was young, and the world as she had seen it was very bright and fair, brighter fa*>-than a life of laborious toil, and for n whilp thp idea that the latter alternative must be accepted made her diz.yy and faint. As if divining her thoughts, poor old grandpa, in his prayers that night, asked in trembling tones, which showed how much he felt whnt he was saying, thnt God would guide his darling in all she did, and give her wisdom to make the proper decision; ���hat if it were best she might be happy there with tbem, but if not. "Oh, Father, Father!" he sobbed, "help me ond J soph to bear it." He could pray no more aloud, and the prnv bend remained bowed down upon his chair, while Uncle Joseph, in his peculiar way. took up tbe theme, bogging like a very child thnt Maddy might be inclined to stay���that no yoiin<? men with curling hair, a din- nint-i.-' cross, the smell of musk, might be permitted to come near her with enticing looks, but that she might stay as she was and be nn old maid forever! This was the subject of Uncle Joseph's prayer, a prayer which set the little hired girl to tittering, and would hnve wrung a smile from Maddy herself had she not felt all the strange petition implied. With waywardness natural to people in his condition, Uncle Joseph that night turned to Maddy Ior the little servic.B his sister had formerly rendered and which, since her illness, Grandpa Markham had done, and would willingly do still. But Joseph refused to let him. Maddy must untie his cravat, unbutton his vest, and tak*- off his shoes, while, after he was in bed, Maddy must sit by his side, holding bis hnnd until he tell away to sleep. And Muddy did it cheerfully, soothing him into quiet, and keeping bn"'- her own choking sorrow for the Bake of comforting him. Then, when this task was done she sought her grnndfnli*"** still sitting before the kitchen fire and evidently waiting for her. The little hired girl had retired, and thus tbere was no barrier to free conversation between them. "Maddy," the old man said, "come ���it close by me. where I can look into your face, while we talk over what must be done." With a half-shudder, Maddy drew a stool to h-- irrandfather'8 feet, and resting her hend upon his knee, listened while he talked to her of the future; told her all her grandmother had done; told of his own helplessness,*. j_. t_T_��..rjal .it .was..to. *:- ior C"***.***��� *��*"���- _|?*��*--**anr_ !��� jn Jn f7T"r*_rTng tones asked who was going to look after thern now. "We can't live here alone, Maddy. We can't. We're old and weak, and want someone to lean on. Oh, why didn't God take us with her, Joseph and me, and that would leave you free to go back to school and the life which I know is pleasanter than to stay here with us. Oh, M'-'-lv! it comforts me to look at you���to hear your voice, to know that though I don't see you every minute, you are somewhere, and by and by you'll come in.

Mny with me, stay with me!���Btay with your old grandpa!" In his earnestness he grasped her arm, as if he thus would hold her, while the tears rained over his wrinkled fnce. For a moment Maddy m--1 no response. She had no intention of leaving him, but the burden was pressing heavily and her tongue refused to move. Maddy was then a stranger to the religion which was sustaining her grandfather in his erp"' trouble, but the teachings of her childhood had^not been in vain. She was God's covenant child. His protecting presence was over and around her. moving her to the right. New York, with its gay sights, her school, where in another year she was to graduate, the trip to the Catskills which Guy had promised Mrs. Agnes, Jessie, and "*"**oplf, Aikenside with its luxurious ease���all these must be given im while worse than all the rest, Guy, too, must be given up. He would not come there often; the place was not to his taste, and in time he would cease to care for her as he cared for her now. '.'Oh, that would be dreadful !" she groaned aloud, while her 'lioiifhts went backward to the night riCi in the snowstorm and the nuin- berles- "'���-ntions he had paid her then. She would never ride w*ith him again���never; and Maddy moaned bitterly, as she began to realize for the first time how much she liked Guy Remington, and how the giving him up and his society was the hardest part of all, But Maddy had a brave young heart, and at last, winding her arms nround her grandfather's neck, she whispered: "I will not leave you, grandna. I'll stay in grandmother's plnce." Surely Heaven would answer the blessings whispered over Maddy by the delighted old man, and the young girl taking so cheerfully the burden fron- which many would have shrunk, sh^-'i be blessed of God. With her grandfather's hand upon he* hpnd. Maddy could almost feel that the blessing was descending; but when, in her own little room, the one where slip ���*��'��� lain sick for so many wpnr*' weeks, her cournere began to give way. and the burden, magnified tenfold bv her nervous weakness, InnVed henvip** than Bhe could bear. Hnw could she atay there, going through each dny with the same routine of literal drudgery���drudgery which wm*'*' not end until the two for "'horn she made the sacrifice were dead. "Oh. is there no way of escape, no help?" she moaned, as she tossed from side to side. "Must my life be wasted here. Surely " Maddy did nnt finish the sentence, for something checked the words ol repining, and she seemed to hear again her grandfather's voice as it repeated the promise to those who keep with their whole souls the Fifth Commandment. "I will, I will," she cried, while into hor heart there crept an intense longing for the love of Him who alone could make her task a light one. "If I were good like grandma, I could bear everything," she thought, and turning upon her pillow, Maddy prayed an earnest, childlike prayer, that God would help her do right, that He would take from her the proud spirit whicli rebelled against her lot bpcnuse of its loneliness, that pride and love of her own ease and advancement in preference to others' good might all be subdued; in short, that she m'���*���*' be God's child, walking where He appointed her to walk without a murmur, and doing cheerfully His will. Aikenside, and school, nnd the Cat- skill Mountains were ef#ier to abandon after thnt contrite prayer; but when she thought of Guy, the fiercest, stint-post, pane she hnd ever felt shol through her henrt, making her cry out so quickly thnt the little hired "iri who shared her h**d moved as if about to waken, but Maddy lay very quiet until all was Rtill again, when turning a second time to God she tried to pray, tried to give up what to her wns the dearest idol, but she could np' snv the words, nnd ere she knew what she wns doing she found hersell asking that Guy should not forsake iinr "Let him come." she sobbed, "let Guy come sometime to see me." Once the Tempter whispered to her that had she accepted Dr. Holbrook she would have been spared all this, but Maddy turned a deaf ear to that suggestion Dr. Holbrook was too noble a man to have an unloving wife, and not for a moment did she repent of her decision with regard to him. She almost knew he would say now that she was right in refusing *tim, and right in staying there, as she must. Thoughts of the doctor quieted her, she believed, not knowing that Heaven was alrendy owning its sub* missivp child, and breathing upon it a soothing benediction. The moan of the winter wind and the sound of the snow benting against her little window censed to annoy her. Heaven, happiness, Aikenside, and Guy, all >*iitm"*i h'pnded into one grent good just within her reach, and when the long clock below the stairs struck three, she did not hear it, but with the tear-stains upon her face, she lay nestled nmnr>�� her pillows, dreaminp that her grandmother had come back from the bright world of glory to bless her darling child. It was broad noon ere Maddy awokp and starting up she looked about her in bewilderment, wondering where Bhe was and what agency had been at work in her room, transforming it from the cold, comfortless apartment she had entered the previous-night into the cheery-looking chnmber, with a warm fire blazing in the tiny fireplace, a rug spread down UEpn ito. hearth- 8.*kJ*oc)______f*hair drawn *ii**r UT"jre It, arirT aTT W!**''Js"*5J the little hired girl as completely obliterated as if she had never been.

But this morning all wns changed.

Maddy knew now to whom she was indebted for all this comfort, and with a cry of joy she welcomed the girl, whose very pres- *t��**o h'ought back something of the life with which she had parted forever. "Flora," rVip exclaimed, "how came you here? Did you make the fire and fix the room for me?" "Yes, I made the fire," Flora replied, "and fixed up the things a little, bustlin' that young one's goods out of here; because it was not fittin' for you to be sleepin' with her: Mr. Guy was mad enough when he found it out." "Mr. Guy, Flora? How should he know of our sleeping arrangements?" Maddy asked, but Flora evaded a direct reply, saying, "tbere wns enough ways for things to get to Aikenside"; then continuing, "How tired you must be, Miss Maddy, to Bleep bo sound as never to hear me at all. though to be sure I tried to be still as a mouse.

"Not going bnck !" and Flora stopped ber bedmaking, while ahe stared blankly nt Maddy. "What be you going to do?"

It ls the day of the specialist, even ln china collecting. The field was found too vast to be covered by oue collector, who realised that though art might be long, her purse was not, and, moreover, time was fleeting. So hero and there arose the being who decided to make one particular branch her own and to cleave to that only. Blue aud white naturally found most votaries to begin with till the more enterprising branched off into other color schemes, of whicli green and white was the most attractive. But green Is a color which has always fallen under the ban of being considered unlucky by the superstitious, and superstition ls a hard nut to crack. ' Still, fashion surmounts all obstacles, and gradually we see the votaries of greeu china ln the ascendent. Incidentally the same thing is happening to prices. Green china of the right tint does not now bave to wait long upon the order of Its going. The supply ls not equal to the demand. It Is a fascinating pursuit and a most decorative object when found, for, though It looks Its best massed together ln bold groups, It mingles well with other chlua, which cannot be said for the old favorite, blue and white. But It Is exigent in Its background and surroundings. It calls loudly for white walls and chintz furniture and a somewhat countrified aspect generally, for most of the china In whicli green predominates Is decorated with old fashioned posies of country flowers ���roses and gillltlowers, stocks and pansles. Tea services with wide shallow cups, dessert services, quaint Jugs, vases and delightful baskets form the usual treasure trove. Bowls are few and far between; specimen pieces are far to seek. Green was a good wearing, useful, everyday color, nature's own livery, and so the potters employed It for their most ordinary, commonplace articles, but not always. Sevres and Chelsea employed green as the body color on some of tbelr most gorgeous vases and pieces, destined often ns offerings to klugs, princes and the great ones of the earth. Sevres used two shades of green, the familiar grass green and the apple tint, but Sevres, unless a family treasure, hardly comes within tbe ken of the ordinary collector, for if genuine Its price Is above rubles. Chelsea green approaches most nearly to Sevres; It Is of a rich grass hue and was used as a ground color ou vases and plates ln tbe declining days of the old factory. Worcester wus famous for its apple green In Its palmy days, and after the Introduction of chrome green used it a good deal as a background to medallions of finely painted landscapes on plates and tea service. APPLYING LACE. A Neat Finish For Dainty Linen Handkerchiefs. There ls a most delightful and very little known stitch by which lace ls applied to a fine fabric, such as a handkerchief. It is known as incrustation and may he used tor both insertions and edges. It Is made as follows: Lay the lace over the fabric on the edge to the depth of half an Inch or so. Baste it straight to a thread a little distance from the edge of the lace and take a stitch backward in the fabric. Draw the thread tight and put the needle in tbe fabric In the same hole ln which It was first inserted and bring It out through the fabric and the extreme edge of the lace. Draw tli�� thread through the entire length. Take a buck stitch through the lace edge and the fabric and bring It out In the hole which was pierced by the previous stitch. Kepeat this until the lace ls fastened to the fabric. On the back It will appear like a herringbone stitch. Drawing the thread tight In this way and making practically a stitch and a half each time, tbe lace Is finished with a pretty open edge which looks like hemstitching. Now cut away the linen from uuder tbe lace to within an eighth of au Inch from the edge. This raw edge does not make the work weak, and it launders beautifully. Frenchwomen are not in the least bit afraid of a raw edge on the wrong side, and very often they avoid iu thia way what might be called sewing a thing to death���slewing which takes away much grace.

Discussion of the best pronunciation of Latin recalls to the Liverpool Post a story about tbe Duke of Wellington It was about tbe year 1844, aud tbe chancellor In bis gorgeous robes was reading the honor list aloud. The list was, of course, ln Latin, and Wellington knew more about the handling of brigades than about Latin quantities Whenever tbe name Carolus occurrred the duke persisted in pronouncing the "o" long-"Caro-lus." It was at last too much for one of tbe dons standing behind him, so, leaning over, he whispered, "If your grace will excuse me, I should like to point out that at Oxford we call that word 'Car-olus.'" "Very good," said the duke. "Thank you. I'll remember." Presently came the name Jacobus, which, mindful of bis lesson, be pronounced "Jac-obus." Agaiu the don leaned over. "I humbly beg your grace's pardon, but that name Is 'Jaco-bus.'" "Hang It all," muttered Wellington, "you can't chop and cbauge like tbut!

This Town Also Has Its Share ol Dread Disease Which Is Said to Yield to Home Recipe To relieve the worst lorins ol Rheumatism, take a teaspoonful of the following mixture after each meal and at bedtime: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kurgon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. These harmless ingred;ents can be obtained from our home druggists, and are easily mixed by shaking them well in a bottle. Relief is generally felt from the lirst few doses. This prescription, states a well- known authority in a Toronto morning paper, forces the clogged-up, in- act;ve kidneys to filter and strain from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acid, which causes Rheumatism. As Rheumatism is not only the most painful and torturous disease, but dangerous to life, this simple recipe will no doubt be greatly valued by many sufferers here at home, who should at once prepare the mixture tc get this relief.

In the face of a northeast wind a man started recently from Trafalgar Square, London, on a tour around the world. The adventurer undertook the task for a wager of i 10,000, the details oi which he gave in tlie course of an interview. "This wager," he said, "was laid by a friend of mine, a well-known American millionare, as the outcome oi an argument that took place at a club in Pall Mall. He declared that no Englishman could walk around the world and push a perambulator. After hearing the conditions I at once made up my mind to accept the wager myself. Upon telling him of-the decision I had come to he at once made arrangement with another well-known American gentleman to accompany me. He is only doing it for sport." When asked how he was going to subsist he replied i "I am starting penniless and I shall sell photographs and pamphlets while on the journey.

An extraordinary story of a sequel to a Christmas Eve marriage came to light at Bristol recently. A man went into a Bristol postoffice and stated that he had not only lost his memory, but had lost his bride. He remembeifcd being married at VVig- an the previWis morning and setting out for Bristol, where he was going !o spend his honeymoon. On the way he missed his wife, though lie was unable te remember how this hap pened. Finding himself in a strange place, without any knowledge of his name or address, he applied for assistance to the postoffice officials. The one clue he had was that before leaving Wigan he recollected sending a telegram to relatives in Bristol, advising them that he was coming by n certain train. He knew the time he handed it in, and was able to give the name in which it was sent, but there his mSmory ceased. The post officials made enquiries, and were at length able to find the address to which the man wished to go. They sent him there in charge ol a messenger. He_ had been wandering about in Bristol streets for four or five hours before it struck him that the post- office people might help him. When given a clue to the address he jumped readily at it, and said it came back to his memory like a flash. After expressing his thanks to the officials he left, with the remark, "This will be a lesson to me."

Among sea-faring men in Cardiff the steady increase in the number ot Chinamen who obtain berths on vessels at that port is causing alarm. It is stated that the Chinamen accept half the wages of European seamen, and are less particular as regards food, requiring only a few cheap though wholesome articles of diet. The Chinaman does not ask for peas and haricot beans, flour, oatmeal, milk, syrup, suet, pickles, and dried fruits. He lives for a month on the same quantity of salt beef, salt pork, and preserved meat as the white man requires for a week. Even of coffee and tea he wants less in a month than his white competitor in a week. "Four years ago, ' said the Cardiff secretary of the Sailors' and Firemen's Union, there was not a Chinese boarding-house in Cardiff. Now there are seven. Four years ago you could not go along Bute r��ad without seeing the Greek and Spanish flags. The Spaniards drove the Greeks away to a great extent. Then the Italians came in. Now the Italians are disappearing gradually, and also the Arabs and Turks, and the Chinese are taking their places.

T. Stead Would Have Britain Double Germany's Efforts. Mr. Stead, who was one of the first to arouse national interest in the navy, has in the new issue of the "Review of Reviews" an outspoken pronouncement on the question of maintaining the British navy and laying down two ships to one in answer to the German program. Mr. Stead, it will be recalled, wrote in 1884 "The Truth About the Navy," which he claims was mainly responsible for the rebuilding of the first line of defence. "There is no question" says Mr. Stead, "as to what John Bull will reply to the German program, be it litttle or big. He will say that he is sorry, but if it must be so he cannot help himself. Without any unfriendly feeling he accepts in all courtesy the challenge which is offered him. He wishes for nothing more than the maintenance of the status quo. "He has no army to speak of; his only deience is his navy. The maintenance of its unquestioned supremacy is for him a matter of life and death. His readiness to secure that supremacy is the condition of the existence of tlie British Empire. He does not waste his breath in idle moan or profane objurgation when any of his neighbors challenge him to see whether or not he is prepared to hold his own and maintain his position. The challenge is none of our seeking, we simply take our stand on the status quo. We are willing to maintain the status quo, either by reducing armaments or by arresting the increase of armaments. But if it can be maintained in no other way, we are ready and resolved to maintain it by competition. "We shall bring forward no imposing counter program. But when the Kaiser lays down one keel we lay down two. That is the formula of safety. We shall no more discuss it than a swimmer discusses the necessity of keeping his head above .vater. We shall simply do it because we have no alternative except that of suicide. . "We shall not be any worse friends with Germany because she wishes to alter the status quo to our detriment. It is a fair challenge and we shall accept it in the same spirit in which we accepted the challenge for the blue riband of tho Atlantic. Only instead ol allowing the naval Deutschland to take the prize and hold it for years while the Luisitania and Mauretania were buildiing, we cannot afford to allow our naval supremacy to be imperilled. No, not even for a single day. 'Britons, bold your own.' And so say all of us." The cost of what we may call Mr. Stead's naval program for 1908 would be: 8 battleships, etc., at ��2,- 000,000 apiece ��16,000,000 4 protected cruisers at ��300,000 1,200,000 4 destroyers at ��80,000... 1,920.000 ��19,120,000 This would involve naval estimates of ��40,000,000.

The Political Woman. The English suffragettes have done good service by showing us plainly what the political woman would be. They are, of course, picked specimens, but i*. would be the picked specimens that would mount the political platr form. Nature has apparently ordained, and for plainly good purposes, that the family should be a unit before the state, represented by the man, on whom falls the duty of protection; a duty from which no suffragette apparently proposes to absolve him. Not all women are married, but marriage is the normal state, and as yet we have apparently no proof that unmarried women have been special sufferers by the lack of the franchise. It can hardly be denied that legislation generally has long been, and still is, favorable to women. Nor will it be denied that the sex has its privileges. Both privilege and equality it cannot have as when it came to be represented by suffragettes would Slainly appear. In England the par- amentary champion chosen by the Women demands for his cliento not 'only the suffrage, but seats in both Houses of Parliament. Both the political parties in England have used womanhood as they would use anything, if possible more sacred, for the purposes of their fray. In the United States the movement which at one time appeared to be carrying all before it, bas of late appeared to flag. He Collapsed. A cat may look at a king, but it is sometimes at the cat's peril���at least to it would seem judging from thia anecdote concerning Alfred TennyBon.

Suddenly, however, those present were startled by the poet, who had been rather quiet for some time, looking up from the tablecloth and glaring wrathfully round the table. He fixed the young man with his glittering eye and said loud enougli to be heard by all present, "You are looking at me, I tell you."

Richard Brinsley SherldaD early evinced a genius for getting something for nothing and, seeing the door of the refectory had inadvertently been left unlocked, peeped Id and saw a huge basket of grapes freshly gathered from the orchard. Stealthily closing the door and ap proachiug tbe grapes, he thus addressed them: "I publish the banns of marriage between Richard Brinsley Sheridan and these grapes, ls tbere any one to forbid the banns?" And. having no reply to bis query, be proceeded to All his breadbasket from the other has- ket with great gusto. But retribution was to follow, for on the class being reassembled the master called upou Richard Brinsley Sheridan to stand forth aud Joined with his name the ominous name of Walker, who was the dunce of the school and selected from his weight and size to mount the cul prlt upon his shoulders in order that the master might get a firm surface upon which to use the blrcb with ef feet. I Sheridan being duly mounted and appropriately denuded of superfluous raiment, the master thus addressed blin: "I publish the banns of uiurrluge between Richard Brinsley Sheridan and this birch. Is there any Just cause or Impediment why these two parties should not be joined in holy iiuitrl mony'/" "Idold!" yelled Sheridan. "Well?" said the master. To which Sheridan said, "Why, sir. the parties are not agreed!" This being not only witty, but apt, as being a valid objection in point of law, Sheridan was requested to re tire and restore himself to his formei habiliments amid the uncontrollable laughter of all concerned, Including the head master.���Exchange.

ULCERATED LEG AND ANKLE HEALED BY ZAM-BUK A common result of an injury sometimes of even a tiny scratch is chronic ulceration, the skin disease that ea-'s deepest into the tissue and is most panful, weakening and obstinate. Ulcerations are brought on often (especially in the case of women) by excessive standing or kneeling. Mrs. J. E. Berryman of 91 Catharine St. N., Hamilton, Ont.. says: "I was suffering for a number of weeks with a badly inflamed and ulcerated leg and ankle. I had used one remedy after another with no material benefit. My leg was swollen in some places to bursting and day and night I suffered severe pains. At this stage my husband prevailed upon me to leave oft' all other preparations and use Zam-Buk. This I did and was agree- ab'y surprised, for after a few applications the swelling in the leg was greatly reduced and the ulcer looked henUhier. I persevered with Zam- Buk until the swelling was banished and the pain and inflammation entirely removed. Zam-Buk has effected a cure when other remedies failed." , .

Where Waa It���In Mashonaland, South Arabia or India? One of the most Interesting and Important questions concernlug Biblical Bites perpetually Invites research and persistently evades solution. "Where Is the land of Ophlr?" Dr. Karl Peters at a public/meeting In Berlin declared emphatically that this famous | Biblical region is located between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. He tokl his German audience how he has discovered mnny shafts of ancient gold mines. 500 temples, fortlflcatlons and other ruins of Phoenician origin. Dr Peters affirms that coins unearthed iu Mashonaland belong undoubtedly to the time tif King Solomon. His opinion ls that no other part of Africa could have exported the Ivory, silver and precious stones which are recorded lu the Bible as coming from Ophlr. Against this theory, founded ns it undoubtedly Is on very plausible evidence, Bible students are still likely to maintain, on the testimony of Genesis x, 29, that Ophlr was a section of South Arabia. Here down to the time of Ezeklel the Phoenicians still landed to procure gold and gems with which those famous sailors and merchants of the ancient world traded In many countries distant from tlieir Syrian shores. Many erudite writers have attempted to Identify Sofala, on the enst coast of Africa, with Ophlr, while yet others have located It in India. One of the most learned essays written on the subject ls from the pen of Professor Iloiniuel, who argued that the ancient land of gold was Arabia Felix.

The narrow escape of tlie Lieutec* ant-Governor of Bengal is reported in a Reuter telegram from Calcutta, which describes an attempt made t(. wreck the special train in which His Excellency Sir Andrew Fraser, Lady Fraser, with his staff and a number of police, were traveling. Having regard to the nature ol the explosives, used, railway officials are astonishec' that a terrible catastrophe did not occur. The train was running through to Kharagpur, and when between Marayanger and Benapur the driver felt the engine lilt and bump. Simultaneously he heard a loud explosion Luckily the train did not leave the rails, and the vacuum pipes parted automatically, putting on the brakes. Tho explosion tore a big hole in the ground, while some sleepers were blown to fragments. The "Statesman," dismissing the theory that the outrage was the work of disaffected Bengalis in the Madnapur district, says: "Pieces of shattered sleepers were found at a distance of from 150 to 200 yards away from where the explosion occurred, and we are told that some of them have been sold at as much as 100 rupees each as mementoes of the first attempt that has been made on the lifo of a high state official since the assassination of Mr. Justice Norman and Lord Mayo." A police officer and 50 men have gone to the scene of the outrage. Under a tree close to the spot sweetmeats and other traces of an encampment have been found. Various theories are put forward to account for the outrage, one being that it waa the work of a discontented ganger. *.* .��-������*��� ��� - The Cireaniani.

London's First Balloon and the Great Excitement It Raised. Tremendous excitement was caused when London's lirst bnlloou went up. The balloon, manned by a young Italian named Vincent Lunnrdl, ascended from Moorfields, then tin open space of ground, on Sept, 15, 1784, in the presence of more than 100,000 spectators. All business was suspended, the king himself setting the example by adjourning a cabinet council that happened* to be sitting. Vast crowds followed the balloon's course, some on horseback, in carts, in chaises, but mostly on foot. The Great North road, above which the aeronaut sailed for some distance, wns n roaring river of humanity. Many were hurt in the crush, but tlie only fatality recorded wns the death from fright of nn old country woman, who, coming out of her cottage to see what the excitement wns about, beheld the balloon just above her head. On the other hand, Lunardl undoubtedly snvotl one mnn's life, a jury bringing In a verdict of not guilty on a notorious highwayman in order that they, the prisoner and the judge who was trying the case might rush out of court to see the balloon. The aeronaut descended eventually near Ware, Iu Hertfordshire, where his sudden drop from the clouds was the cause of more astonishment and excitement.
