For the Farmer. wi ���1; 1 -1 rt V :k echo the voices of tlie prophets- They are, spoken by John, the herald of Jesus, the Messiah, who confirmed them by His teaching, and their truth is proved in human experience. 1 Note the terms, "Life" means the perfect possession ol every power of' human nature. This includes the will to use each power. To have a perfect " .body would be glorious, but none possesses it. When Socrates'saw one that seemed complete he cried. "Jove ! how beautiful!" Wc have his enthusiasm. . More splendid is the life of the spirit in man, and it is to ,this these words refer. Each of us knows some one / ��dio possesses in rare,degree this life. ' Such interpret to us the divine; we instinctively feel they are of God. "On God and godlike men 'we build our trust" But even these have their faults; only One has ever lived on earth perfect in all things. Imperfection, un-, , . less righted, tends to death. We can- ,' not stand still, we arc ever growing ^better or worse. How we fight against the "downward tendency, seeking help from such as we think can help us Brow better! So we tie ourselves to thc physician, the-teacher, the friend. Is It not true that the best wish of your best moments is thfct you may , become better ? And we have all found that, beyond a certain point, there is no,help in a.man. Once there came unto o,ur world a Perfect Man, "the Son of God, with-power." lie gave (Himself to the work of redeeming men from death to life, and, throiufi His spirit, He is^a constant Saviou-. "He that believeth in the Son has everiist- ing life." "Believeth." It means more than assent to the statement of the Gospel. (Faith is willing self-surrender to God. I iOnly thus can His vitality impart itself t to us. 'This is possible for every one. iThey are self-deceived who think otherwise. All about us'are those ignor- .< aal ���reak and hard pressed as you are. ' ��� wtefcWcause they open heart and mind to Him, .are growing better. Are not. "they who refuse to do this"fools' and blind? .' . The" condition for every one is obedi-1 *Hce. It is so in all relationships. To, ��*?ect V cure the physician 'must be obeyed, the teacher must be followed, the friend honored, and if the Redeem- ( er is to save from death to life our part is to honor, follow and obey. | t And now note the alternative:���"He that obeyeth not thc Son shall not ��ee life; but the wrath of God abideth on hitn." Perhaps you persuade yourself that this is a visionary statement and are indifferent to it. Remember, there is 'relationship between you and God. He is your "heavenly Father." God cannot be indifferent to you. You are and always will be His child. Il is the worst blunder one can make to think that God is careless about him. Do the words, "the wrath of God,'' seem cruel words? Nevertheless, c-iu human relationships explain them. We are more than inhabitants; we are citizens of New York, having certain.inherent rights and obligations. Its laws are. the measure of these. If I choose'to go contrary to these rules of conduct and commit crime, the wrath of the city, the penalty of infringement of law, is incurred. The convicted criminal is stilla cart of/New York. The same conditions hold in the family life. Does it seem strange that tho divine government is illustrated by these analogies ? Remember, the laws of God are not arbitrary, they are essential to life. Still, the problem faces us. How can the God of love, ever be wrathful toward his child? Well, undoubtedly, the Bible proclaims this, -ind co does Nature. She works by law, 51H to the obedient is beneficial. El;c- tricky carries y^ur messages and moves tour cars, but disot�� ':cr and she kills you. This is '.the,.-'��������, ming of applied acjence. And in tli- .-.loral world the same-principle holds'. - It is .thus in friendship; refuse to love and honot you may become perfect. Identify your life with that of thc Son, love Him. learn of Him, follow Him, and you shall become like Him. There are only three steps from earth to heaven���acts, habits, character. These same steps may lead downward to death. Which is your chosen way? Let this truth possess you;- let it make you brave, hopeful, serious : Re men of God, living in His service, happy in His love* and you shall master any sitpation���you shall know life indeed.

The annual return moved for by Sir Charles Dilko, showing thc comparative ���tate of the fleets of the principal powers, was issued by the Admiralty.

In this class Groat Brl- . tain has three first-class battleships, four armored cruisers, three third-class cruisers, four scouts, - fifteen destroyers, and ten submarines ; France has one armored cruiser, four destroyers, twenty-five torpedo-boats, and .eighteen submarines; Germany has one armored cruiser, two third-class cruisers, and six destroyers : while the United States has five first-class battleships.' The subjoined tables show at a glanco how the powers compare in 'regard to the different classes of vessels actually built. Following each table are notes of the, ships on the stocks :��� Battleships. Fust- Second- Third- class, class. class. In all breeds of poultry it is the largest females which will produce the larg est offspring; hence if you want to in- crease'-'the individual size of the flock select eggs laid by, the largest ,hens. The same rule holds good in regard to egg-producing'qualities; if you want better laying pullets select the eggs foi setting from the best laying hens. It pays to follow the laws of breeding, and to use as much care in selecting fowl as 'in buying fruit trees, farm implements or a horse. ( < , .

But as to whether such hallucinations, among the sane, are ever caused by psychical Influences from the minds of others, alive or dead, not communicated through' the ordinary channels of sense, my mind is In a balance ���f doubt. It is a question of evidence." Mr. Lang, In his latest book, "Dreams and Ghosts," has brought together- a great many stories as evidence in this matter. As to whether the evidence he submits Is convincing,or not depends entirely upon the individual readers. Mr. Lang 1 himself does not declare whether he regards these stories as proof positive or not. He does not constitute bimself ,as Judge or jury. He is merely the attorney who submits his case on its merits. , He takes the position of one who ��ys :��� - "It may be'true and it may not be, I tell the tale aa 'twas told to me." Among other dream stories he tells is the one about the dream vision of Prof. VL. V. Hilprecht, who has the chair of tssyriology at the University of Pemn- Jb-lvanla. The University had despatched tn expedition to explore the ruins of Babylon, and sketches of the objects discovered had been sent home. Among these were drawings of two small fragments of agate, inscribed with characters. One Saturday night in March. 1893, Prof. Hilprecht had wearied himself with puzzling over these two fragments, which were supposed to be broken pieces of finger rings. He was inclined from the nature of the characters to date them about 170O-1140 B. C; and as the first character of the third line of the- first fragment seemed to read KIT, he guessed that it might stand for Kuri>- galzu, a king of that name. . About midnight the professor, after long and vain work over the Inscription, went perplexed and weary of mind and! body to bed. Then he tells of the following strange dream: "A tall, thin priest, of the old pre- Christian Nippur, about forty years oi! age, clad in a simple abba, led me to the treasure chamber of the temple, on its- southeast side. He went with me into a. small, low-celled room without windows,. in which there was a large wooden chest, while scraps ;of agate and lapis lazuli) lay scattered on the floor. Here he- addressed mo as follows: " 'The two fragments, which you hav* published separately, upon pages 22 and 26, belong together. They are not finger rings, and their history is as follows: " 'King Kurigalzu (about l350 B. C:> onee sent to the templo of Bel, among-" other articles of agate and lapis lazuli, an inscribed votive cylinder of agata-. Then the priest suddenly received t5ie command to make for the statue of U10 god Nlbib a pair of earrings of aguta. wo were in groat dismay, since tlnre was no agate as raw material at linnd. In order to execute tho command, tlitirn was nothing for us to do but cut the votive cylinder in three parts, thus n��Uc- Ing threo rings, each of which contained a portion of thc original Inscription. The first two rings ssrved as earrings- for thc staluo of the god; the two fragments' which hatfo given you so.much {-.rouble are parts of-them. If you-will-'put'the two together you will have condrrautlon of my words. But the third t-Ittgyo't have not found yet, and you- never will find It.'" Tho professor awnke. boumlert o*it of bod, as Mrs. Ifilpreclit. IcjUIIIoh, and w,-is heard crying from his study, "It Is so. It is so!" Tho professor vcrlli-d his dream next day. The Inscription ran thus, tho mining fragment b^lng restored', "by analogy from many similar inscriptions:" - , To the god Nlhlb, child- Or the god Bel, His Lord Kurlmiliiu, Pontifcx ot tho god Bel Has presented it. But In tlie drawings tho fragments were of different colors, so that a student working, on thc drawings would not guess them to bo parts of one, cylinder. Prof. Hilprecht, however, examined the' two actual, fragments in the: imperial museum at Constantinople. They lay In two distinct cases, but when put together fitted. When cut asundor of old, In Babylon, the white vein of;the; stone showed on one fragment, the 'gray surface on the other. Prof. Romaine Newbold, who publishes this dream, explains that the ��� professor had unconsciously reasoned out his facts, the difference of color in the two pieces, of agate disappearing in' the dream. The professor had heard from Dr. Peters of the expedition that a room had been dls-, covered with fragments of a wooden box. end chips of agate and lapis lazuli. Theu sleeping mind "combined Its information,"-, reasoned rightly from it, and threw it, 1 The recent rains have greatly improved thc crop outlook in this Province and the west.

The Farmers' Advocate writes in respect to the sheep industry :���"Now ii their opportunity" (referring to tht flock owners) "for selection and improvement, so as to be ready for , the upward, turn of. the tide when it comes. Indeed, it appears to be close at hand. The demand for mutton continues to grow,'and it is quite certain tha't iti limit will not be reached yet awhile Hence breeders may, we feel sure, look forward with- confidence," It is quite certain that Canadian breeders .will be far better and larger customers for oui stud rams when the demand for theii : own stock is an increasing one. - - Thus ,the'prospects for the demand during the coming season from Canada art probably better than they^have been foi some "time past'. Despite "all the .drawbacks which the slieep industry has to contend with in- that colony,, it ranks very high amongst the different sections of the general agricultural interest, and bids fair to become quite as important as it is at home. No matter what breeders of other varieties of live stock may say, there is no question that the -key to successful farming, is the same abroad as at home, namely the maintenance upon every holding of 9 flock of sheep, either breeding or otherwise, as the character of the holding may determine. The profit and' benefit arising from sheep breeding and feeding is certainly larger and1 more gen^ eral than from any other variety of live stock.���Farmer and Stockbreeder, London, Eng. Broody Hens; Ver^ soon broody hens will' be getting rather plentiful in many yards, and a few hints as to the best method' of dealing with them.will no doubt be acceptable. In the first place; it is perfectly na;tur^l for the hens of incubating varieties to develop their natural propensities during the warm season whenever a batch of eggs is laid. This propensity may be ��ry persistent or the reverse, according to the race to which the fowls belong. Cochins, Brahmas, Indian Game, 'Malays, Langshans, and their cresses or descendants, such as the Buff Orpingtons, Buff Rocks, Buff Wyan- dottes, etc., are very keen and frequent sitters during warm wcath;r, and it takes more to break them off the fit than birds with a milder tendency to incubate. Birds 'which have got rather fat and heavy are also rather difficult to break off, and it is a rule,with those who keep incubating varieties to keep them only in fair bodily condition during warm weather. They will lay all the 'better in consequence. Whenever .3. hen lie- comes broody she should be kept away from the nest or roosting house, and for preference put in a coop/with, a square bottom in the middle of the yard. ; The spars should be at least two inches from the ground, and about two and one-quarter .; inches between the spars./When a hen is placed inside she> does not feel in a comfortable position. Her ^overpowering tendency is to sit, and to sit soft, while she is forced to: stand, and to stand upon a hard and uncomfortable surface. She quickly 'tires of it, and in her continued anxiety- to ..secure more comfqrfoutside the broody desire is forgotten. One feverish desire conquers,another. This proceeding is not in the least degree cruel, and'the bird quickly returns to laying again. , During the period of confincniiiit food should be supplied sparingly/and of a kind which docs riot heat or stimulate. Broody hens drink a lot.of , ..���....��� -.��� water, owing to their feverish condi- own"conciusions into" a 'dramatic - form', tion, and a little; Epsom salts put !n "When a bevy of maidens would whflo away an idle hour, and foretell rate and fortune, It is not alone the lines en their hands that they consult, but tho linger tips us well, says a Now York Sun correspondent.

'��� Extreme delicacy of the lines of tho flngor tips, not woiikncfls, but threadlike . cushions, especially of the third flngcrn, donote an artistic talent. When studying finger tips, or phulangology, as it is called, tho length of tho tips above tho ball of tho flngor, must be noted. Unusual longth shows that a woman covets power, and she usually, gets it... , Very Jolly and gay at times Is tho woman with tho tips, of her lirst fingers showing lines extending fiom ono &ldo ' to the other, absolutely unbroken, cxeopt by the cushion. The pointed or tapering first finger usually indicates one who is quick to grasp an idea and recoptlve of new impressions. - * The pointed second finger, with fine lines, shows one decidedly optimistic ; if very pointed, frivolous, fond of gossip, and on whom sorrows make but little impression. She is as irresponsible as a. butterfly. The fourth finger, if ringed with lines near thc tip, and quite pointed, indicates one quick at repartee, witty and diplomatic. If the linger is smooth, or not lined with marks, or It it fs square-tipped . and rather heavy, the possessor Is fond of praise,, nor is flattery unwelcome. The square little finger shows one who would rather do a thing herself than try to show others. She finds it difficult to put the knowledge into verbal expression < and is prone to say the wrong thing at the wrong 'time. ' That woman loves luxury and is most extravagant whose thumbs show straight markings.

The mount of Jupiter, under the first finger, If wen developed, Indicates noble ambition and love of nature, and foretells a happy marriage. From finger nails also is character foretold. Small, round nails are associated with an affectionate nature ; filbert nails denote refinement ; narrow bails fncllne to mischief; broad nails are indicative of a gentle, dependent nature ; crooked nails belong to qtufefe-tempereel people; long nails to those of a temporizing disposition, one who would hesitate "to name the day." These are nails of persons who hate scenes. Pink nails show indotence, red nails gtmi temper, and nails- abnormally pale. . a weakness- that fs both physical and mental. In reading character from the finger trps, the proper way Is to study the fingers of the left hand and to prove the reading by the right. A magnifying glage, by the way, is needed for this study ��f phalangology. The Romance of Diamonds^ Mr. T. P. O'Connor tells the following Iti his gossip of Mainly About People:��� Ia the circle whose members make a living out of dealing In diamonds, there la a keen Interest Just 'now In the operation about to be performed at Amsterdam on the "Excelsior." which Is claimed to be not only the largest diamond yet Sound In South Africa, but-the largest stone of its kind in the world. So it may be (writes my Indian correspondent) an appropriate moment to recall the romantic history of the Dom Pedro -diamond, about which there was so much excitement a few years ago. When the unfortunate Emperor Dom Pedro was deported from Brazil his groat diamond soon came into the private market. An attempt was made to sell it to tho King ���then Prince of Wales���who did not like to havo anything to do with the painful business. Then attention was turned to India, where' the well-known financier, Mr. Jacobs of Simla and Calcutta (tho original by the way, of Marlon Crawford's "Mr. Isaacs"), took tho matter in hand. Evontually Jacobs arranged tho sale of the stone to the Nizam of Hyderabad for forty-six ' lakhs, which if tho rupee wero at Kb nominal value, represents ���,- a sum of, ��4GO,000. - The Nizam deposited twenty-three lakh3 with tho bank which held possession of the diamond, the deal having been -carried out by means of a glass replica and-the expert description . given by Mr.. Jacobs. But there's many a slip between a dear and a diamond, and^one happened here, the interruption coming from a slip of an Irish boy, Sir Dennis Fltzpatrlck, at that time British. Resident at tho ancient Court of Hyderabad. It Is the business of the1 British Resident in a Native State to advise���and 'tacitly to control���the ohief of the State; and Sir Dennis went to;the Nizam, asked him if he realized that there would probably, on the general prospects, be a famine In Hyderabad the following .'season, and if he. could imagine what his starving subjects would do to him if they knew he had Just squandered forty-six lakhs on another diamond for his turban. Seldom had such a forcible argument been used in official or diplomatic affairs. Shuddering at the thought of scimitars at his throat or hand-bombs 1 flung up into his' howdah, the alarmed Nizam sent off at once to Jacobs to quash the bargain. Quite naturally the latter refused to bo c<&t off thus peremptorily, but In a few days' afterwards -he took steamer away, from Calcutta. This raised an alarm, onae- county of the twentyrthree lakhs deposited, and Jacobs was arrested before th�� vessel "got clear of the Hooghly. After a long trial,*in which nil the Bar leaders- in India were engaged, the matter waer sottled by Jacobs returning the twenty- three lakhs-to the Nizam, and receiving ��5,000 to cover his expenses over thfit transaction. r^'" ���syjwartiwiiiflmjyjifttns* iioji*; ^^jjfc-^jS^fc.^JCjM>^��r:v,lM.,l .~t*.*i\r, .ag^tUM.Vrttrrfet^g^Vjpea^tf^iJg-ii ~��yi --ir' (r-��* r*J ��� ������� ��� *-*"��� "- .-,+.

'Norma glanced from the doctor to fcho patient in the bed, and laughed a little. "A very clever explanation, Dr. Wharles," said sho in a low voice, "as night have been expected from you." xhen she turned upon hitn suddenly, her tyes flashing fire. "I can trust you now," ���aid she, in a voice not much louder than before, but very firm and determined, [-"because I'm not leaving him alone with rou, and because, if he were to die to- sdfjht, you might find it difficult to explain away my explanation." She turned' iway from him as abruptly as aha had turned towards him, nnd saving simply:' "Good-night, Mrs. ltaggctt," ran out of tlio house to her lodging. She would have liked to go to the polio* station that very night, hut she dAied not trust licisclf- out alone in the dark along the road. She felt also that titers was no need now to fear an imnie- tilt* Attack upon poor Ned; as she had 1 Mid, the matter, would look too suspi- ajpiu, when her story camo to bo-heard. $M lay awake, 'however, wondering what the doctor's next stop would be, and whether he would have Mrs. Raggett for to foe or an ally when she, in her turn, Aould hear her stepson's delirious words. On tie following inoining, before ten o'clock, she wa3 in the 1 own, on her way to the police station. She passed Dr. Wharles, starting on his rounds in his gigj and if he felt any uneasiness at jpght of 'her, he certainly concealed it V*ry well, as bs raised his hat and nailed at her as if she had been one of Ms favorite patients. Her story to the superintendent was toon told: how she watched by the sick boy, the words he uttered, the entrance ��J the doctor, his suspicious behavior, htr action in shutting and bolting him (Hit, his accusations of her on the return , tl Mrs. Baggelt. After listening attentively the super-" tntendent decided to go at once to the E" ge, and to see whether the lad was condition to bear interrogation, and, g that unlikely contingency, whetk- ��� tr ihe waa in proper hands. On reaching Mrs. Raggett's cottage, however, the first person whom the offi- tkl saw was Dr. Wharles himself;jwho Was standing by the bedside talking to Mrs. Raggett. The doctor appeared to be delighted to gee him. "Ahl" he said, "we've got a case for rou here, I'm afraid." "Indeed, doctor?" "Yes. Here's a sick lad been sent out of ���is mind by the injudicious treatment ��f a lady whose .zeal outran her discretion." "You mean Lady Darwen? It is on ier information 1 have come." ' "I thought so. She plied him with fuestions and her own fancies last night ill she had the lad in raving dclhium, and then turned me out of thc house when I came to see if I could do anything for the poor lad." "Well, ladies are hasty, aren't they, . (octor?" "Yes, but there ought to be limits to Qieir hastiness when human life is at itake," said Dr. Whailes sonorously. "I quite agiee with you. Let me see low the lad is this morning." "Oh, very cool and comfortable, as rou see. His stepmother, Mrs. Raggett, las been performing a real mothei's pait to him, and has sat up with him all ) sight." ; To everybody's amazement, the lad, irho had been lying with his eyes closed, to all appearance fast asleep, said sud- lenly: "That's a lie. She wasn't wi' me for Bore'n a few minutes." Tho doctor looked rather startled; Nance Raggett turned white. The supcr- ntendenb walked to the bedside. "So you can hear what ono says, and tnderstand, eh, my lad?" said he. Before Ned could answer, the doctor j Interposed sharply: ' "I must forbid you to put any questions to Mm at present. He is in my lare, and X couldn't answer for the con- joquences if ho were to he ���jubjeclcd to ta interrogatory now." The doctor and the policeman looked t woh other full in the face, and the latter had to give way. "Right you .tie, doctor. Then you an- iwer for his safe-keeping till he- t�� well tnough to be examined?" "I do," said Di. ..harles firmly. CHAPTER XXIII. Fbr the next few days Dr. "Wharles Irove up regularly in the morning and igaini in the afternoon to Raggett 'a cot- Rage, tyid Norma hoard from Mrs. Giles khatt h*is reports upon Ned's condition Wvn in every way satisfactory. The lad waa going on to well, indeed, that Bis doctor declared ho would very shortly ho well enough .o be re-exam, d by tho police. And the doctor took p i ticu- lar care to call eveiy day upon Lite superintendent to report progress. Perhaps that ofTicial* was not wholly it -the mercy of the medical man for the Information he leceived about the Rag- fetts and their doings. At any rate, when Nance Razeett staited fori a trip to thc- seaside, and took the precaution to go at night, taking Ned with her, the was met befoie she reached the railway station by" a poltcomiin, ,who courteously suggested that she should accompany him to thc superintendent's office to answer a lew questions, before proceeding on her journey. Ned, who h.oked very white, and indeed wholly unfit to .take a journey, began to shiver violently. *> "Doan't you be afunrtl, boy; no harm will happen to'yon," said he. "You've only got to speak out, and tell tho truth, and you'll be pi otected, never fear." i" They were walking back in the ditec- tion of the police station, but it wus Blear from the furtive i.'lunccs Ned cant ifround him tliat he was on the lookout for an opportunity of��� luiiiiing away. That opportunity, however, was not given him. , Mrs. Raggett was sulky and alarmed. "Protected 1" echoed she. "He doan't want no protection, 'ceptin' from ladies as ought to know better than coom meddling wr" other folks' aIIairs! It was my Lady Darwen, I make no doubt,' as put yo oop to stopj 'g us!" "Oil, no," said lto officer with a smile, "we'can depend on our own eyes." "What do yo want wi' us?" cried she, stopping short defiantly. < "Well, as Ve shall be wanting to hear the lad speak at the inquest again, we might as well know where you're' going to, and why you were going away at night," said < the policeman, i i When they got into the presence of the superintendent, Nance Raggett was very fluent, Ned very taciturn. Nance declared she had heard nothing during her stepson's delirium to make her think he knew more than he 'had owned to knowing: the lad himself-said sullenly that, if anybody had said he talked about the murder in his illness, he remembered nothing about it, and he was not responsible foi the fancies he might have had-then. , * ~ . It occurred to'the superintendent to think that'-t, is pln.tse must have been suggested to he lad by'someone with a clearer brain than his own, but he made no remark. "I think, Mrs. Raggett, if I were you," he said, when she had told him an elaborate story of tlie arrangements she had made for a fortnight's stay at South- port, "I would go back home to-night, ind put off the journey to Southport jntil thi3 lad is a little stronger." It was a piece of advice which she had no cho1 e but to take. But it was with pale faces and downcast mien that the two went hack te the cottage in ths lane. , On the following morning, instead of the doctor's calling on the Raggetts, it vyas Nance who called upon the doctor. And instead of Mra Raggett's taking a holiday with her stepson, it waa the doctor who packed his portmanteau, and, with his wife, went away, in a day or two, rather unexpectedly, for a week in London. There was some talk among the neighbors about this sudden holiday, taken without much notice upo> ''he plea of Mrs. Wharles' need of cha..g<-. And rumors got about, which culminated in a general wonder whether the doctor would be back in time for the adjourned inquest on the body of Tom Rogeison. When the great day came, the court was, if possible, more densely packed than ever. People of note in the county were accommodated with seats in that part of the court usually reserved for the jury and witnesses and others directly concerned in the case. Every eye was bright with excitement; every car was strained for hp-i.ing what new evidence the police might have to bring to light. There were certain fre3h witnesses to be heard first. There was a ; ">g woman, to state that she saw two t -an go over the fields on the night of the iniudcr, in the direo- tion of thc plantation at Darwen llaigh: the foremost of them she knew by his ilight limp to be Sii Astley Darwen, but of the identity of the one who followed Bhe piofcssed not to be suie. On'account of the way in which Sir Astley'* mime had been dragged iiuo tho case, Air. Capper -ppenred in court on tlie young baioncl s behalf, and put a few questions lo some of tho witnesses. "Where were you when you. saw these two men going across the fields?" "I were goin' home across t' fields, by t' truck as goes leght auioss t' footpath from ISlackdalc." "And how far were you from the mon?" "About as fur as fiom one end of this couit to t' other." "I see. And thcio was still enough light left for you to recognize Sir Astley?" "Ay. He has a little limplike in his walk. I'm main sure it was him." "And lie second man? Was he far be- aind? How far would you say?" "B> was nigh as fur from Sir Astley as I was mysen from Sir Astley when I first ���'ce him." "Very good. And after seeing Sir Astley, you had been walking on all the tim"? You hadn't stopped?" "Nay, I hadn't' stopped." "Then you must have been considerably jjear'er to the second man than you ha'd been to the first, to Sir Astley?" There was a slight sensation in the jourt. The witness, a respcctable-look- inir vounor w%amjin. with the clear, hard $ray eyes "of the typical Noitkerner^ grew nervous, apparently for the first time, ind looked down. "You were nearer, were you not?", "Ay, I suppose I must ha' been." "Yet you recognized Sir Astley, but , were'not sure about the seeono.1 maitt" , "S-ir Astlsy has a limp." , > "Yes. Was there no distinguishing nark about the second man? Describe hhn if you can." ', '"He were a tall man and muffled up.* <4Bo muffled up that you could not ses lis face?" "Not ���we��." ' pid you take him to be ��� stranger?" Long puuse. . Then the witness an- ���wtred in a low voice: "No." u **You thought he was someone you'd 1 seen before?" "I couldn't reghtly be sure." "Come, who did you think it was?"' "I might ha'. been mistaken. Tirwc was a hedge between him 'an- mo." ' , "But a hedge is not very thick at this time of year, not high enough, either, to conceal the whole of the face and figure of a tall man." By this time the giil'3 evident reluctance to tell the whole truth had roused cuiiosity and intciest to the very highest point. People craned their necks to see, to hear. "I doan't reghtly know who it was,' she said at l-'-, almost below her breath "Was it Xom Rogeison, t)he man who was murdered latei that night?" ' The answer came sharp and clear and m-ompt: ."Nay, I know it were not him." ' , "Come, you came heie, I'm Mire, like an honest, good girl, prepai ed to tell tht whole truth." "But they didn't tell me as how ) should have to name him." , . The 'impression these few hurried words pioduced upon the court may b< imagined. A sort of sigh/went round followed by a deep, "Sh���-sh," and the usheis cried "Silence!" when all were already as silent as the dead. l ��- "Ah, but the whole truth must come,' said the lawyer, impressively. "And re member, ���it can harm no one but th�� guilty." t , . "It woan't prove him guilty, if I saj I saw him?" aaked the girl quickly. _"J didn't see him do no haim. He was only crossing the fields like any other man might na' done." " Who'was?" ' "Why, Dry Wharles." ' Again there was a sibilant sound, lik6 the sudden rush of an incoming ude, and then again dead silence while the lawyei spoke. i ^ ��� He was very gentle, hwing to considei the overwrought feelings of the witness whose voice' was now tremulous ' and much fainter than before. She could not 'but he conscious of the tremendous effect her evidence had already had.' "You are sure the second man, who was��. following Sir Astley, was Dr Wharles t" ' , The girl hesitated a moment, then aht said quickly: , , , "I was sure at t' time: but when 1 heard as how they'd' gone and fetched Dr. Wharles away out of his house, later, for-to see t' body, why I thowt 3 mtist ha'been mistaken.. For how shouM they htt''had to fetch him if he was a'< ready there? And how could he ha' goi back so quick?" - , There came a sort of surging rush ol subdued voices, whispering, exclaiming, i "Silence!" roared the ushers again. With a kind word and an encouraging gesture, Mr. Capper gave the witness leave to retire, and she retreated, sob bing, into an adjoining room, while thi witness, Ned Raggett, who had been kepi out of tihe court, was at length called 'and, amid a scene of indescribable, su'b ,dued excitement, was brought in. ��� The lad was horribly pale, and had t�� be accommodated with a ohair. His drj lips were parted: his eyes were glassy and heavy; his whole appearance wai that of a person sufleiing not only from physical ill-health, but fiom some acut( mental torture. The coroner was very gentle and kind with him. "Now, my hoy," said he, "we're not going to bother you with many questions hecause we all know you've been ill, and are not over-strong yet. Answer openly, truthfully, and don't be frightened. Na harm shall come to you for speaking th�� truth, and there's not a creature in th�� neighborhood that wishes you an^ tiling tout good." A sort of encouraging murmur of pity and good-will seemed to be felt rathei than heard. Enough had leaked out about the Raggetts and their affairs for. a general feeling of compassion to have been engendered towards this lad, on whose evidence so much depended. "When you were last in this court, before your illness, on thc opening of tho inquest, you were in fear of someone, were you not?' Tlie boy tried to answer, but his tongue was dry. He bowed his head, and it was only after it moment's pause that -he was able to whispci: "xVy." "You had been threatened, had you not?" Ned stared round him with a sudden shock of alarm. The coroner spoke more encouragingly than "before. "Now take my word for it, there is nobody here who could or would possibly do" you or wish you any harm. Speak out without fear. You are now ready to tell us what really happened on the night of the murder, are you not?" "Ay," again blurted out the boy in a strangled voice. "You got up in a tree because you saw Sir Astley coming, and you didn't wish to be caught trespassing. You have already told us that, and it is true, is it not?'' "Ay, sir, that were true." "Well, and after the/t? What happened after that?" A long pause. Then the lad seemed to pull himself together, and in a hoarse voice, plucking meanwhile nervously at his cap, he said: t "I waited till t' Squire were gone, and it was a long time, for he went slow- like. And I was going for to coom down, when I see another man a-cooming oop quick-like, as if 'for to follow V squire. And���and then, while I was a-wondeiing who he was, and why he was,so quick, I see someone a-coonung oop from t' lane, not cooming quick, like t' other, btit creeping like and slow. And at first I didn't know who he was, no , more'n t'other. But when t' liitt heard him, he turned from following t' Squiie, and he looks round, and he say*, says he: 'Who's tJhere?' says he. And���and then, when he sees who t'was, he cries oot, and says, says he: 'Why, doctor,' says he, 'is that yo?'" There waa a pause, and once more that strange, hushed, subdued movement ran round the crowded court. u ( i "Well, go on, my lad." "And I looked down, and I see^���I see���" A shudder convulsed him, and ho paused before going on: "I see t' man as was creeping ������' -ng rise oop quite sudden,'and hold ��� �� his hand. And I see a. Hash, and I heard a bang. And titers was another flash, and another banjr. Milt' fiabtv.--.xlat-s��ve <jnc cry, not* so wry loud, it wasn't, but he fell down and he moved a bit and ho give a sort of kick, und I knew, he was shot dead. "Well, go on." "1 must ha' moved, or' cried out, for f man as hud shot t' other looked oop, nnd I sec his face." . "Well?" "It was Dr. Wharles." ... There was a'sound like the surging oi the sea, a suppressed lorrent of speech and movement. Then the coroner said: "Go on." ,_ , "Afore he could speak to me, we heard someone cooming, und he ran away quick towards the lane. And then my Lady Darwen she coom oop, and Ididn't dare tell her what I'd seen. I���I was aieard of what he might do to me." "You.,saw him later?" - ��� - "Ay. And he.towd me not to let on I'd seen owt, for if I did,.I should very like be had oop for a���a���cesa'ry���" "An accessory after the fact?" "Ay, 'twas sumniat like that. And ho towd me it'd be seven years in prison for me and worse for him. So I didn't dare speak, sir,"and I,didn't, 'not till I was took UP and talked in my dreaming." , The story was told. There was minor evidence to be ta'-enj but'all'the in .rest of the exciting day, had culminated in Ned's confession. , " "' \ The excitement in Blackdale was tremendous: nothing was talked-of but the murder and the strange turn given to the mystery by the fiesh evidence. And when it leaked out that the doctor had sold his house and furniture, wholesale, to a dealer in London, even his warmest supporters began to grow faint; and thc warrant for his arrest, which was imme diately issued, took no one by surprise. - In the meantime the Wyersdale peo pie had overwhelmed both Abtley and Norma with their congratulations, while At the same time they werejfull of hardly repressed curiosity as to the reason of the tragedy. That it was in some way connected with the unhappy circumstances of Astley's marriage they knew, but that was nearly-all. Norma could tell them, little; but she wrote a note to Mr. Capper, before he left The Haigh, containing a suggestion which she begged that he ;would make to Astley. It was that, since'he had made up hh mind to leave the neighborhood k altogether, and since she herself was going away, too, he should make,the continuance of his allowance to his wife conditional on her coming to live at The Haigh. , i ���Astley thought the suggestion a strange one, but Mr. Capper approved of it. "l v_ , "Lady Darwen is quite right," said he "It will clear away any mystery about the first wife once for all. It will ensure her behaving properly, and prevent any repetition of the tricks she has already played upon you." So the solicitor wrote to Lottie informing her of Sir Astley's decision. Thc answer came from Mrs. Midsomer, who said her daughter was not well enough to move at piesent. This answ er roused }Br. Capper's ready suspicions, and he replied that, unless Mrs. Midsomer and her two daughters could find it convenient to fulfil his expressed wish without fuither delay, he was instructed to inform them that the allowance would be cut off at once. To this second letter there came a submissive answer. If it cost hei daugh-" ter her life, Mrs. Midsomer wrote, she would bring her to The Haigh on one condition, that the lady who was using the title of Lady Darwen should have left the town. . ��� To this Mr., Capper, without consulting Norma, at once agieed. But, with the suspicion he was not unjustified in feeling, he called upon Nouna immediately after this, and suggested that, on tho day of the ai rival of the ladies, if the meeting would not he too painful to her, shewould do well to call at The Haigh on some excuse of fetching something that belonged to her, and to have one more conveisation with Lottie. "You say she seemed rather contrite about having placed you in a false position," said Mr. Capper.

Neither of the parties hav.e as yet announced the date of their'Cou- ventions but as domination clay is not till Oct. 15 there is sufficient time. The names of several aspirants for the honor of lepfescnling the District have been mentioned, but until the'conventions aic held we are unable to announce definitely the names of these gentlemen. The geneial concensus of opinion however seems to be definite on - one point and that is, that the Candidate must be a local man, one' who has been here long enough to be thoroughly acquainted with the needs of the Distiict. The Premier .has made a strong plea for party lines and urges the District of Atlin to electa icpres- entative of either one-of the large parties..

This and similar expiessions were heard 611 all sides on the S. S. Scotia, last Tuesday. II was a beautiful day and all on boaid seemed to lay themselves out for a good tunc. Those who expected to make themselves comfoitable in a comer without giving any one else the pleasure of their company and musical abilities were'most happily deceived by the most efficient host and hostess Mi. and Mis Fetheistouhaugh. Tliesteam- ei 'left the cityjit 9:30'after waiting for ten minutes until Judge Woods 1 locked his family in the house, and made dnectly for the Llewellyn Glacier. A landing was made at the end of thc tiip and eveiy thing that is necessary to satisfy the inner man was supplied in picnic fashion, and every one did justice to the spread. After luncheon some of the party made the rest of the trip to r the Glacier 011 foot - and all who staited out can now say that thty not only saw the mountain ot ice but ' experienced 'the difficulty of ascending and decendmg one of the largest remnants of the glacial period. ( After "partaking of supper at the original camping ground the party boarded the Scotia about 7 , p. in. homeward bound. On the return trip, with His Honor Judge Henderson as chairman, a caucus was formed and speeches were heard concerning the important political itsues of the day. Before the caucus broke up the chairman thanked Mr. and Mrs. Fetherstonhaugh for the enjoyable outing which every one had had and spoke in glowing terms of their high abilities as host and hostess respectively. When the chairman sat down every one, as one voice sang, "For they are jolly good fellows," etc." aud when three cheeis were called for, the excitement was so great that the man at the wheel pulled the rope, but the whistle was not heard, lost as it was in the burst of euthusaism which came as it only can come, from a gathering who were not only happy but appreciative.

St. Ourn. France, enjoy absolute Immunity from tuberculosis. They are gardeners of excellent habits who intermarry among themselves and keep apart from th�� immigrant laborers. The latter suffer severely from the disease. It is considered probable that hygienic conditions are not the sole cause of the difference, but that by a kind of natural selection a race Immune from tuberculosis has been developed. ������;��� - Caisson disease, or compressed air" disease, Is a malady which is often contracted by those who are engaged In engineering work in positions where ' they are subjected to great air pressure. Dr. Thomas Oliver has observed several cases of this kind, and he has arrived at the conclusion that the symptoms are best explained by the .theory that the malady is due to increased solution by the blood of the gases met with it In compressed air, and the liberation of these gases during decompression. The increased solution of the gases is due. of course, to the greater pressure upon the person of tho caisson worker. The old "Physic Garden," at Chelsea, which was leased to the "Apothecaries' Company" in 1673. and presented to them by Sir Hans Sloane In 1722, is to be placed under a Committee of Societies and the garden is to be maintained for promoting the study of botany with special regard to the requirements of general education, scientific Instruction, and research in systematic botany, vegetable physiology, and instruction In pharmacy, as concerns the culture of medicinal plants. New offices, lecture rooms, and laboratories are to be provided.
