Cause and Cure of the Tired Feeling That is Epidemic at This ' " ' Season of the Year. , The spring is here. Von can fuel it * ,ri every part of your body. -Your ' clothes are too heavy and though you are not sick, you are too' tired to walk, loo tired to work, yes, even tot tired to eat. it's Unit "spring feeling." ' On you know the cause of it? No, all you want, to know is how to get rid of it. Well, tho explanation and lhe cure tire alike simple. In the winter you "get used" to V/iO cold, you think. As a matter of tact it is the body that gets prepared. It puts on a fortification of extra tissue-that keeps the cold out. In the spring time this tissue is thrown off by the body and if the system is .all in good working order, the blood carries away the cast-off tissue, winch is in turn filtered out of the blood by the Kidneys, and ex- f polled from the body. ' This imvms extra work for the Kidneys, ,nnd if they arc nt all tired or worn they fail in their work. The result is clogged circulation and that tired spring feolmg.- ' The cure is to tone up tho Kidneys with Bodd's Kidney Tills. Dodd's .Kidney Pills make healthy Kidneys. Healthy Kidneys quickly cleanse the blood of all' -impurities and the "spring 'feeling" is replaced with a vigor of body and bouyancy of spirit that makes work a pleasure. .+..

Many people havo heard of the search made by Greek divers under the Turkish Government, and the treasure discovered in the "Russian admiral's ship, sunk at Tcherman at the time of the naval battle of 1770, when the Turkish fleet was completely destroyed. Tho search has continued with .striking .success. These fortunate divers ,have become rich, but the Turkish Government also has obtained some large amounts, inasmuch as it has reserved for itself the lion's share. It already has been .innnuced that on the first shipment to Constantinople the divers obtained for their part'the sum of 270,000 francs. The daily work of the divers amounts to irom 5;0()0 to 10,000 pieces of gold. A special boat of the Admiralty, manned by oflicers af tho Turkish Navy and by a Government inspector, is stationed continually at tljjs point. ' Each sack drawn from tho water is registered, the pieces counted, and a receipt given to the divers. It would be difficult to give even a summary of tho innumerable- fortunes engulfed, in the sea. Among others an English barque, which foundered, in 1700, off tho coast of Holland, had on board ingots of gold and silver valued at about 130 millions, of which a very small part was recovered. The "P.oyal Charter" went down near the Moelfram with a cargo worth two millions, and of this, as in so many of the other cases, little or none has been recovered. ���A little Sunlight Soap will clean cut glass and other articles until they shine and sparkle.

'Charming girl ? Graceful creature? [Pathetic *> Refined ?"- murmured Lady ���Geitrude, bewildcted "I saw no ���stranger, Clara, and I usually look [round the church; one'owes it to tho ���oeople."

"Not Mrs. Plummcr's daughter, I am sure," she said,' in a voice naturally musical, but the more so���be cau&tr of a softer accent than that to which Jessio was used.

"' Well, to be sure, you must run out, I suppose, and say I'll bo down in a minute, and Plummcr's only just gone out round. Only let me get clear off before they come in," she concluded brushing past Jessie and bustling upstairs as fast as her round and comfortable figure could go., .You cannot brush and turn mity cheeses with clean 'hands or clean garment s,' and Mrs. Plummer's 'appearance was certainly far from magnificent.

"Jessie," she 'added,- mu.-ingly, ' a caressing sort of name, soft but not sufficiently dignified for 'her." > A few days later Sir Arthur la- .mented in her hearing that, what- 'with one thing and another,, he had (,not a horse fit to ride that morning,^ ;>and supposed henmist ,.walk. ^Red-j \voods was not so \ery far, but* he fjwished also to call at Fern dale and ���.Little Marwell.' ��� ; *' > "Why not let mo drive youh?" Clata said; "the ponies want 'exercise, and I like an obicct for a drive." "Thank you, my dear, I shall be ',too glad' to avail myself of the /honor, if you do not mind pottcting hbout with an old fellow," he replied, so the ponies wcto brought round, and they started. Sir Arthur /hall buried in fins like a Russian 'prince, his niece fully occupied with her ponies, who sniflod up tho frosty Mr as they tosssed their pretty jmanos and mado believe to take ievcry bush and stone lor an enemy. They drove through the park, 'A'hoie' the noble oaks and beeches bore fairy-like foliage of boar-frost 'instead of green .summer, leaves on the fine tracery of their boughs, which sparkled with delicate jowcl- flasl-.cs against the pale blue sky, through the village, where the rime- crystals glittered on thatched roofs, and women at cottage doors dropped courtesies; past the inn with its swinging 'ign, the school-house with jits hl\e-likc hum, thence along tho lUiigh road. They soon came to a pCbmfortablc farm-house standing a 'jiiftlo way back from the road in a Jtrim flower-garden, fenced by a low stone wall over which tho dainty lit- itle "roving sailor" spread its shin- fning trails, and yellow stone-crop fand patches of green and gold moss t. The house was of gray stone, biddoa by creepers, which in distinguished guests, to crown all she wore, tied-high up over the ends of the crossed shawl, a large, coarse apron, the strings of which refused to do anything but tie themselves in= knots while she was shouting complaints and directions to Jessie. "\\ell, if ever 1 was in a pickle for visitors!" she might well exclaim, on surveying herself in the glass. Jessto was soon opening the door to receivo tho guests; \ isitors very rarely had occasion to ring at Redwoods. It was deemed inhospitable not to go out to welcome them as soon as they appeared in sight. The sight of her caused Sir Arthur to remove his hat from his head and himself from tho - low pony chaise, and confirmed Miss Lonsdale in her admiration. Tho touch of the un- gallant frost, which does not hesi- "tato to nip the nose of rarest beauty? only brought a delicate rose to Jessie's cheeks, the sunshine fell full m her faco, causing hot- to lift ono slender hand to shade her beautiful eyes, while with the other she held a light* blue wrapper, one end of which was thrown over her head, beneath her chin; her bright hair, tho true "chiom'c d'or all' aura spar-to" so dear to Tusso, glittered in tiny ruffled rings about her temples, ns if each separate hair were n beam of light. Appearing thus, (all and slim, in her plum black dress,- whilo some whilo pigeons, startled by the wheels, flew up with clanging wings and settled on the lichen-bordered brown roof above her, she was a delightful vision. She stepped lightly down tho garden- walk, unconscious of the admiration sho evoked, to ask Sir Arthur if he would walk in whilo she sent a boy to fetch Mr. Plummer, who .was somewhere about the farm. J Sir Arthur preferred to go in search of Mr. Plummer himself, and when Uo was gone Jessie went out to ask Miss Lonsdale to come in. Sho assented with a smile, and laying the rents aside, alighted. Tall, well mado, warmly clad in rich furs, with tho jewel-like breast of a bird glowing iridescent in her hat, with thai Indefinable air of ono daily used to polished human intercourse and the Cohstant homage due to an absolute grace of speech and movement���Clara Lonsdale seemed to Jessie, who rarely saw but homely, often uncouth people, a being from a more gracious sphere, and her clear glance fell with a becoming deference before the penetrating gaze tifummeir made a very tjowor of bloom 'fofQ tijfed roof, waft? richly embroidered of the lady'e goldon-brown ayes" room with heavy furniture,, and two fair-sized casement wmdows, with deep' cushioned' seats.''" Somo sporting prints udorned the walls, two guns were on a rack over the chimney piece, massive silver tankards, gleamed upon a side-table, a bright fire blazed in a largo grate with hobs to it, here stood a high-backed wooden arm-chair which Jessie pluc- pd for her -guest. The battered form of' Rebastopol reposed -in��� <��� a tight tabby coil near the fire; ' just in front of a window stood a small easel 'holding a canvas on which a landscape in oil was beginning to show; palettes, brushes, and tubes of color scattered near showod that the artist had but just loft work. An old bureau with its sloping desktop closed, stoorl against one wall, and a sofa, wide enough to serve for a bed at a pinch, was against another; a few pots of growing flowers were in tho window, and a dish of russet-red apples on tho top Of the bureau. All these details Miss Lonsdale took in one rapid glance. Tho interior was cosy, yet there was a lack of something���which she soon discovercd to bo books. Those were few but not" select. Ono leather broken-backed tome with an illegible title sorved to raise a flower-pot in-' to tho light? another mado a press for Mrs. Plummcr's cap laces and ribbons. Jessto went straight to a cupboard by the fire-place and took out' a dish of round "golden-brown cakes and some decanters and wineglasses, which sho placed on the table, in accordance with the ' unwritten custom that supposed all guests to be hungry.' "Mrs. -Plummer's dough-nuts are irresistible," Miss Lonsdale said, accepting one with a smile that went straight to Jessie's fresh heart; a rare smile that came slowly and mado fier seem beautiful, though not really so. > Jessie smiled brightly bock, the smile of n grateful child.' "Tt would be no use," she said, "for "my cousin to. make doughnuts, if no one came, to appreciate them." "There is reason in that," 'Miss Lonsdale returned; "there are in art two essential factors, the artist and the amateur or admirer." "Yes," Jessie rejoined," "it would be futile to. write even an 'Iliad,' if there were no readers."' This, Miss Lonsdale reflected, was not?-what one might cxpect-"from a miller's' daughter of' eighteen, and wondered to what oxtcnt .the young, lady was conscious of her superiority. But Jessie, who v sat. onr the other, side .of tho hearth sideways to the "window, in such a manner, that the sunshine lighted her face and kindled the gold.,of her hair, looked perfectly unconscious of self. "You must be very lonely," Miss Lonsdale said, with an abruptness that brought the color to Jessie's face, yet with an accent that bespoke such a sjmpathy and accurate reading as she had not expected; "forgive me," she.added, "but your face interest ed me when I saw. you at .church. I speak so plainly because I' feel distinctly drawn to you." "This is too Jcind," Jessio faltered, "but you will be disappointed. I am not at all interesting, especially to myself. I would rather forget that I am alive."-' , "Poor,"child !" said Clara, in , a rich, caressing voice; "poor, -'dear child !" ' - Jessie rose quickly and knelt before the fire, very busy at mending it, with hei\faco averted from the lady. Clara smiled a peculiar little smile that Jessie could not see, and with ready tact went over to the easel. a r "From nature '" she asked, with some surprise, .when she saw the distant park with the village and church in the foreground all firmly and truly sketched. "From nature in winter, "too ' You have .a goocl deal of feeling for landscape. Miss Meade." , Jessie had persuaded Philip, who recognized her decided talent to let her exchange Miss Blushford's fine pencil drawings and water-color flowers and fruit for lessons from a broken-down artist, whose constant potations had not been ablo to quench a spark of genius which might have brought him to the front rank, and tinder this man sho had made somo progress and learnt to cherish great hopes. Had she seen many of the great masters ? Who was her teacher ? Did she know tho Claude Lorraine ot Mar- well Court V Had she seen the Dc Wints and Constables ? She could scarcely belicvo that Miss Meade had seen nothing and yet painted so charmingly. While they wore standing thus at tho easel, Cousin Jane, her curls beautifully arranged in glossy bunches on either cheek, with a cap five grades,higher than that of the cheese-brushing, and her afternoon gown and apron on, came iu and was complimented upon her doughnuts. Almost at tho same moment Sir Arthur was seen returning to the carriage, so Miss Lonsdale took leave and went out to join him, accompanied by Jessie, who stood until the pony-phaeton with its smart groom, Russian prince Sir Arthur, and bright-plumed lady driver had vanished like some ethereal vision. (To bo Continued.) PEAS AND OATS TOGETHER. Peas and oats make a grand soiling food for milch cows when grown in due balance" and a''rich land, says Professor Thb's." Shdwr-of" Minnesota.^ This crop may be sowed on almost' any kind of land that is rich,': and well prepared ana moist, and it comes anywhere in the rotation. The" small variety of peas arc more suitable-than tho marrow-fat varieties, as they produce fine straw, making them more palatable. The, weak"' poinf^about this; food for soiling' purposes- isc.tho short period during, which "���iW.* can- be fed green. This period will";not usually'extend beyond - thrco oiVufour, weeks from ono sowing," but * it. may bo extended by having another-plot sown two or three weeks later than tho first. " ',-!>., This crop may usually be best sown, on- full plowed land, rich naturally, or mado so, and sown as early as tillage is practicably in the Spring. Tho modes of sowing will vary with tho conditions. In many cases the seed may best be sown with the grain drill' after the peas and oats havo been mixed. On reasonably still .clay^ this method of sowing will answer well. , , , i . ''"' '*''" In^ other situations, as on prairie soils somewhat weedy, it has been found best to scatter the peas over the ground" while yet 'unplowed,^ and then to plow ,in. four ,to-fiye,,inches cep and in rather narrow furrow > slic-: cs to prevent the seed from.growing in rows to distend from another.^ ,L The oats "should then be sown *ju*st before tho parts come' through 'the ground broadcast or-with drill ��' and, tho ground should then be harrowed to destroy young? weeds and to prevent the escape of moisture from the soil. IVhen thus sown the, oats and peas -reach -the perfect" condition - for cutting- more nearly than when sown- at the same time, and.the^oats arc, less likely to oyersliadow the peas. It would not-'bo 'possible to!f,ria'me tho proportions of seed to "bo sown tliat would best suit all ..soil ^condi-, tions, as they vary greatly.'' " Where-' peas grow better i!;:a less quantity, should be sown. t * The" proportions that are exactly suitable for any locality can only be'ascertained-by actual, tests. 'The idea should be kept prominent that the peas are the more important factor in the experiment. They are more nitrogenous than.tho oats, and " are also more palatable. The proportion of oats that will sustain the peas from falling will be enough. , - .. -Usually, not less than two and ' ,-a half bushels -per acre should be sown of- the ���- mixture.. Ordinary not more than one-third should be oats. 'On some prairie soils one peck of oats rjer acre should suffice. On other soils it may bo necessary to increase the oats until -they furnish by mea^ sure nearly half the seed used. r This food is exactly for milk pro-' duction. From 15 to 20 tons per acre may be taken of the mixture, and it may be followed "in many seasons-by a catch crop on the same ground more especially of"- rape. The cutting may begin as soon as the peas come into *bloofn and may continue until the crop is nearly ripe- . The vdwarfr Essex rape ,crop w is more frequently grown for pasture than for soiling 'food,/and yct.sit-' is an excellent, soiling, food-,for ,milch cows. Some will "not except'this statement on the gToundSthat' it "will taint-the milk. That depends.on how- it is fed. If .fed to cows* just after the milk has'been withdrawn it-may be given twice a day, and in consider-' able quantities. But it.would^ J>e impossible'to food so"'much!even''in the manner indicated above, that the system would become so saturated as to produce taint. But this certainly will not follow from modern*feeding. When it can be done, the, ideal, way would be to feed rape as a soiling" food one end of the day and some other kind of soiling the.other end of the day Dwarf Essex rape may be' sown on any kind of rich moist soil .;of reasonable open texture. Deep humus soils, as for instance, slouch soils grow it in greatest perfection. It* would scarcely be possible to nvikc land too rich for the growing or rape, and the yields arc usually in proportion to the richness and cleanness of the soils. Early crops arc best sowed on Fall plowed land.' of oecf animals can bo accurately 'do-', scribed und can be learned by" tuij ( farmer of .average intelligence. The profitable feeding cattle that bring the high prices. on tho market all possess certain characteristics. They have a straight top line, with broad, 'deep bodies and short legs. If the head and legs were cut off, the remaining portion of the animal's .body would resemble a box with'round corners. Especially important evidences of good "feeding^ability are clear, bright eyes and broad forehead, with moderate short -'head and short, thick neck',--'a well-sprung rib, strong loins and a long, level rump. r The whole animal should be smooth and evenly covered with thick flesh. �����A moderately large paunch on a healthy,5^ vigorous steer should b�� regarded* as a desirable indication'. "-Moderately fine bones is also an in-' dicatiomof'a good feeding quality. 'On' the contrary, a coarse "bone with long body, large head and general appearance of coarseness is always to be-considered an undcsirabl* characteristic* ---Cattle,possessing the desirable characteristics mentioned above will fatten moro quickly and will distribute their flesh on those portions of th> body whero * the' highest-priced' cuti are .located. ��� It. is impossible here to "give all tho information one will neod in applying these, principles. 'if WATER FOR SHEEP. Sheep ,will suffer if not supplied with water" :i'n winter, even though they'have free access to snow.

No knowledge has greater value to the farmer than that which gives him the ability to .select profitable feeding animals. The animal is a machine, and as there are great difference in diflerent machines, so ,<ire there great difterenc- es in tho efficiency of different animals. There are somo beef animals that will consume corn, hay and grass and produce thorerroni an unfinished carcass which will sell for five cents, live weight, on the market. There arc other cattle fed" on exactly the same Icind of food for the length of time that will bring from five and one-half to six cents per pound live weight. This difference is not altogether a difference of condition or fatness, but depends upon the conformation of the animal. The correct conformation which must be presented in the batter class a Imagine ���yourself on the seashore in Alaska, in the month of September, rambling on for the pleasure ol it/ and.- picking up a curious shell now and then. You see ahead a fresh water stream which is in your path.'i ,As you ' approach you arc surprised to find tho whole ., stream filled, crowded, with struggling salmon i *If you follow the stream oack from, the shore a mile or so, you will find it literally packed with salmon all the way, although the water.is, so shallow that no fish is more tlian half covered. Your, surprise . is increased when" you -approach near cnough-'to touch with'your foot, and find that they pay not the slightest attention to you.. They snuggle fiercely on up the stream, the fcinales''to deposit their'eggs, the males to protect tho females. . All arc intent upon that mad, suicidal rush up the stream. It- ill suicidal because not a single salmon out ol these thousands before you ever comes back alive. From the outset they neither cat nor rest, and as you follow them up stream you soon see tho __ effects of their"' battle. Their flesh is knocked oft against the stones;, here against his fellows, with nothing left of his once powerful tail but the "-bone1!, and many of thent^aro broken; the flesh may be falling from his back .or torn from his belly, still he fights^'on until death. If it is* a female you may sec tli/ eggs dragging from an ugly gash it1() hct side, one fin is torn off, two more are useless, every effort, to propel hoi sell, leaves a trail of blood, but she swims on with tho rest. You uie sickened by such a sight, and conclude that the shallowness of tho stream will account for the condition of tho fish.

Investigations into "/the. climate and agricultural possibilities of the Yukon " Territory have greatly modified the ideas hitherto'held with regard to that region. - The climate on the coast is no guide to the climate of the interior.; in fact, the mountain barrier, acts as a wonderful shelter to the hinterland'. The winds from the "Pacific pass over into,the Yukon as a.constant Chinook or warm, dry .wind, during the open season, which lasts from about the middle of April till the' end of-Sept-Mttbcr. During three months ofthe year there is a daily average aPeighteen'hours of sunshine, end consequently the growth of vegetation is enormous. At Dawson City, garden produce��� lettuces, cabbages; cauliflowers and tomatoes ��� furnish large crops, while small fruits- grow almos��t wild. -Professor -Macoun found barley, eats and wheat were being largely raised for fodder ; that barley and oats sown in June ripened iu August, and samples of red wheat sown at the same time, though not quite ripe at the latter date, would certainly have ripened if put .in earlier. One hundred grains of Yukon-grown wheat were tested for germinating power at the Government Experimental Farm at Ottawa, where the whole made remarkable progress and growth without developing one weak grain. As to the native grasses, of some $fty specimens, all have hitherto mad* good growth, and should spread rapidly over the valleys and hillsides as the country is opened Preaching at Vancouver lately, Rev. Dr. Grant said that the Japanese''government had lately appointed a commission to go and investigate Christianity in different parts'0/ the world and/report upon its ' applicability tq;~ inbdern ' life, with a view to discovering whether it was worthy to displace Buddhism as the national religion of Japan/ The commission had recently finished ' its work'in England and had reported that there Christianity was a failure. Dr. Grant deducted from-this startling���announcement the'-^necessity . for,, .preaching^ '.the Bible in .a simpler--manner.- ��� He said that'it almost seemed.as Uf.He had'been shaken out of his pulpit 'that he might be freer-to do this..

The JlawiB never did, and Uiey have done real things in then- time. IMurUia says that I am not capale of taking care of money. 1 only lish that Martha would trust mo |lf.h more than halt a sovereign' a look, that's all. I Martha has plenty of money���fiyc liotisand in Consols, eight thousand li various corporation stocks, and a In If share in Allen and Darker. Tom lllon was her first husband, and the Itonoy is hers for life. Then it |ocsflto nephews and nieces. 1 These ' nephews and nieces resent liy being Martha's husband, and in- linuatc that I married her for her |ioncy; or, ns Job Allen, in his ele- infc way, says, "for a homo." They luito ignoro the fact that I was Martha's first sweetheart, and -that |he throw mo over for Tom Allen. One morning last July Martha said I'Jotity" (my name is John Chcsnoy Jjlain)���''Jonty" she said, "Archie Is ooming over to)stay with me for'a lew. weeks.' Now, remember what I've' told you of him." If all" was true' that Martha had ratd- about her - brother Archie;- hef iras as great a villain as there was to' be- found. He never had a friend Jir acquaintance but he borrowed Inoney- from him. and never repaid. Pe had lived under many names, in lany towns. And tho more places ie" lived in tho more bills for lodgings he left unpaid. He had never lone a stroke of work in his life���if no except the thinking out schemes by which ho hoped to' make a living iy defrauding someone. ^Archie came. A big, genial fellow, ibout ten years younger thant I. He yreeted mo affectionately, arid we |werc chums at once. Archie didn't borrow money from. Jmc; at least, not much. I haven't ���much to lend out of half, a sovereign la week". And he taught meja few Ithings that will come in useful. ���There's a certain, way of dealing at lall-fours; and there are things at lwhist;."and there's a way of marking ���dominoes; and there's a cute' sys- |tem of giving losers wrong change. "* Some day, when I feel a bit. confi- Ident7 I,shall try. some things Archie |taugh"t'*me. - "All you want," said''Archie, "is a. Iflnt, Jonty. ' Get hold of a flat, I with money,' of course, and the rest I is easy." a , ��� Tlo know ti system of backing I horses, by getting, on bets'after the race was run a.nd he knew the result I "But tho bookies aro gotting a bit | too fly," ho would say. "Spiling tips is all right," he rc- 1 marked, "but too many at tho gaire nowadays : overcrowded and degraded���not fit for gentleman." 'Jonty," said Marthar a few days | "after Archie's coming, "you're not lending Archie an> money, I hope?" "No, dear," I replied, "now can I out of ten shillings a week ?" "It's enough for you," sho retorted. "And don't let Archie entice 1 you into any trap, lie will do it if he can. xnako anything by it." "1 think you are mistaken, dear " I began. "Not in Archie Wild," she replied; "T'vo known him too long. Hut I think you are safe." IViion I married Martha, or, .as Job Allen'slanderously says, "when Martha picked him out of tho gutter," I admit that I had been un- foi tunato in business and had no ]-balance at tho bank; but I had a few possessions, and one of them was an old oil painting. It was the fulUiength portrait of a gentleman, and was very dim and cracked all over, and the top corner was badly torn. I noticed Archio looking at the picture one day, and, as 1 was shaving the next morning, ho strolled into the room and glanced at it agulti. "Yours '?" ho askod. "Yob," I replied; -"my very own." "Urn I" ho said. "Not so bad. Let's have a good look." Ho took a large reuding-glass from his pocket and mado a thorough examination of the picture. Then he stood Iwiclc and gazed at it from dillcrciit positions. "Not half bad, .Jonty. Want to noil ?" "TTow much ?" "What d'you say to a tanner?" A tenner I Ton pounds, ! 1 would have Mold-l!io l!-.i:i , !������',; :���! fovcreigii. "Done !" I cried, gunning my chin. ��� "And done you would be," ho laughed. "J .listen to me, Jonty; you're about the '.lowest hand at doing a trade that t ever camo across. This picture, this work of .art," ho looked at it attentively, ''though unsigned, may bo the work of ono of tho great masters. May be, 1 say. Probably it is not. But wo���you and 1���ore business people, Jonty, my son. Wo mast sell this for iui old master; and if we can only got hold of a flat of the right sort we might get fifty pounds for it." ���'-. "Yoil think so?" I asked, fixing a-piece of plaster on my chin. "Sure," ho returned. "Now, I'll do .the square thing by you, Jonty. J'vo a great opinion of you, and in this transaction we'll go partners. ���You would have sold mo the picture for ton pounds. Now, I know a .'man; his name is Mortimer. This Mortimer ia a Juggins, who fancies ka &IQWS something about arfc, 'He shall bo our flat. We will soli hiui tho picture for fifly pounds���at least, t will. And that will give us twenty-five pounds each." "But " 1 began, meaning to toll him that, as the picture was mine, tho fifty pounds should be mine also. "No," ho replied.*/'! could not think of taking'more J than twenty- five. I will look up Mortimer,, and toll" him I know of a bargain to ( be hadr You'll.' earn-iyo'ur twenty^ive.- pounds easily'^criough; Jonty. Trust to mo." That same evening he told mo that Mortimer was on. "He's as eager ���well, as eager as flats'usually arc. Now, Jonty, not a "word to'^Martha if you value my friendship. I've arranged with Mortimer that he shall sec the picture at ,the Albion. You slide it out without Martha seeing you, and be there at three. And Mr. fltiy Mortimer is ours." "-^'-" ���������' So it fell out. After several unsuccessful attempts to smuggle rthe picture out of the house' without Martha seeing,- T -took-a bold .stop and walked coolly downstairs with- it under'my arm.

Now, the, restorer will make it like now, for a few shillings." ; " ' >-: --, ; A. - I said it all so glibly that she had nothing to. find fault ,with,-and I got safely away to the "Albion.

They set to work bargaining, and finally Mortimer agreed to buy -,thc picture for fifty pounds. ' "And," said Archie, , "let ' mo congratulate you, Mr. Mortimer, on,,having acquired an undoubted gem at such\ a- low figure:" 7 - '''-_ - > ��� Mortimer looked, very pleased, and was certainly" the flat Archio mado him out to bo. fie' handed me ten five-pound , notes, aud after I had paid for a bottle" of champagne "'ho went off with the picture. "Bravo !" sn id ., Archie, smacking me on the back;' "yo'u'did well, Jonty, my son.- ' "That's tho way to handle flats." I gave him his twenty-five pounds. ''Jonty," he *said, , pocketing tho notes, "if wo had capital wo should do great things, you and T." On our way'back ho persuaded mo to buy him an expensive scarf-pin. "As commission," he explained. A few days after Archio burst into my. room in a most excited manner. "Jonty," he said, throwing himself into a chair, "have you a pair of heavy shooting-boots, with soles not loss than two inches thick���with long,' projecting nails? Something heavy, something that will leave a mark. If you have, put them on and kick me. Kick mo well. Jump on nio, Jonty, my son. Trample on me, and tread me into tho dust for being such a juggins." "What ever is the matter ?" t asked, anxiously. "Everything," he groaned. "That picture; that gom; that masterpiece ! We were the flats. It's altae- burn,' Jonty, and worth anything from eight hundred to fifteen hundred pounds !" "What?" I gasped. "It's true. Wo'vo done ourselvos. Look well in the paper, won't it? Thus : 'There was sold at Christie's yesterday the portrait of. a gentleman, by Sir Henry Racburn. It wus an example of tho best work by this artist, and may bo coiisfklcrod fairly cheap at tho price of fifteen hundred guineas it brought. We understand that the picture recently changed hands at fifty pounds.' " "But how do you know il\s a flrcybtin'?" I asked. "A JUieburn, Jonty; a genuine Racburn. I've just been to Mortimer's. 'He's had it refrained, and on tho lower purt of the picture, a part your frame covered/ T saw the signature, 'II. Racburn. "' ,, He slapped his knee.' "Now I coino to think of it, Mortimer can't have seen tho signature or he'd have mentioned it.'Not a word, Jonty. I'm off,.to, see him again. Read these."

Ho occupied "two rather untidy rooms over ,ii tobacconist's; but, as- Archio explained to me; Mortimer was only in .town for a week or so from his place "in Yorkshire. "Five thou a year. Keeps hunters. A bit eccentric. Thinks he knows something about pictures," was. whispered in my ear as wo, went upstairs. The picture was hung in-a prominent position and had, been put into a>ncat,gilt frame, showing more of the painting. When Archie attracted,;: Mortimer's 'attention .for a few minutes Tt gave it a close -scrutiny, and there, dimly, but surely enough, was tho signature my frame had covered. ; T nodded to Archie. ' "Mr. 'Mortimer," ho began, "since he saw you last my friend, Mr. Blain, has had a- small windfall���a legacy, in fact; and. his first thought on receiving the good-news is for his picture.

"Then you may drive Mr. Blain to do something, desperate," said. Archie, moodily, looking at me. "Yes," I broke in, trying to get a break in my vo*"ce. "If I cannot get "the picture a back I Mo not know what I may do." And I foldcd'my arms and let my head sink on to my breast. Mortimer began to ��ot alarmed. Archie chimed in again', and we worked on him till at last ho agreed to- sell. ' But to our dismay ho wanted two hundred pounds, and we could not make him abate a singlo shilling. '���'If Mr. Blaiti has conic into money and wants his picture so much, he must pay for it. I've a right to make a profit out of my deal," said Mortimer, decisively. "I don't wuiil, to part with it; but for two hundred it is Mr. Blnin's again. And," ho continued, as ho showed us downstairs, "I'm off in a few days, so he must make up his mind quickly." "What shall wo do '?" I askod ruefully of Archie, when wc got outside. "You mustn't lose it," he returned. "What is a paltry two hundred when the picturo is worth twelve hundred at least ? Let me see. Your life policy !" "What of it?" Surrender it. You can hundred on it easily said Archie, on our way home. "And be sureito place a high enough 'reserve." - "' A week before the picture did go to' Christie's. Archie was suddenly called away to Paris. "Got hold of a good thing,- Jbnly. Another flat ���just come into fifty thousand. Too good to be missed. Sorry I can't stay for the sale. You've placed tho reserve at twelve hundred ?" "Yes," I replied. "And you get twenty per cent, on anything . over six hundred." Archie , went to Paris and - the "Raoburti" went to Christie's. The best bid was thirty-five shillings ! 1 was a day or two getting over it.

Few people are aware that the King never by any chanco partakes of butter. Another curious feature (��������� of the Royal taste is that His Majesty never takes tea mado with milk; he prefers it in tho Russian fashion, with a piece of lemon instead of milk.

There is at present living in Bat- tcrsea, England, a nonagenarian, Thomas Atkinson, who has a twofold claim to distinction. He is the oldest engineer in the country, .and he began his working life as a rivet boy in George Stephenson's locomotive works. That was in 1824., and in 1823 Atkinson succeeded in getting himself bound apprentice in Stephenson's fitting shop for five years. In the la-st year of his apprenticeship he- was one of the litters engaged on the "Rocket," now' in South Kensington Museum. Atkinson still possesses his indentures, dated March r26th, 1825, written in Stephenson's own hand. The Crown prince of Roumanta, who is-nephew to the King of Rou- mania, once had an amusing adventure while shooting in the Carpathians. Prince Ferdinand was. most anxious to kill a bear, and on this particular day he had not been out more than ten minutes when a couple of these animals were tracked, and he had the good luck to bring down one at the first shot. On examining tho carcass it was found that tho nose was pierced as though the bear had worn a ring, and subsequent questions elicited the fact-that the. local Amtsinann, anxious to please the Prince, had purchased the "wild" hears from a travelling showmnn and turned I hem loose in the Iloyal path! Mr. G. F. Watts, the celebrated painter, was almost entirely solf- taught. ' He derived little benefit from the technical schools which ho attended, and therefore gave up going to them. Mr. Watt's technical methods as a p,a"intcr are singular. He never uses any model nor does he make any preliminary studios,' but having thought out his subject in all its details transfers his ideas direct to the canvas. It has even been sta- tod by one of his biographers that he dispenses also with both palotto and maulstick, using nothing but the siniplo brush and tho assortment of colors which lie, ncods. His effects aro largo, but he is careful of his details, acting on his favorite counsel, '���'Remember' the daisies." memory of men who would be seriously oflcndcd at being considered' old, a gun weighing ' 6J tons -which' would tire a projectile weighing a hundredweight and capable of piercing, 7 inches of iron at a distance of 1,000 yards was a pieco of ordinance to marvel at, says London Tit.Bits.

Such is the wonderful development in naval ordinance within loss than forty years. Tho intermediate stages between those two extremes wore rapid.

This marvellous gun weighs' 30 tons, of which 14 .tons aro represented by .120^ miles of wire wound around- it, arid is 41 feet long. It dispatches a a projoctile ' weighing 850 lbs.���tho weight of half-a-dozen men���with such terrific force that it will piorce 38 -inches of wrought iron at 1,000 yards, and only 4 inches less at " twice that "distance. This projectilo loaves,the muzzle with a velocity of over 1,610 miles an hour ���twenty times the speed of an express train at,its fastest���and with an energy equal to 40,220- ",tons. More astonishing still is the of this projectile, weighing moro than a third of a ton, since with tho gun at a proper elevation it would be quite possible to send tho shell over the top of the highest mountain in the world, coming-to earth again twenty-five miles away from the starting-point. With such a gun it would be easy to bombard Calais from the clills of -Dover or knock down the cross of St. 1'ai l's Cathedral fi-gin Windsor Castle; while twenty-four of such shots would cover the extreme length of Scotland anil England in something like an hour Some years .ago an interesting experiment was made at Rhoeburyness with a 9.2 inch gun in order to ascertain exactly how far it would send its projectile of 380 lb. It was found that the shell before cominf- lo earth travelled a shade over 121 MILES IN 69.(3 SECONDS, and that it rose, .at tho highest point of its flight, 2,000 feet,-higher than the summit of Mont Blanc. From comparison it will bo seen how vastly superior to this gun is "the f>0-toti Vickcrs-Maxim with which our battleships arc-armed to-day. Tt comparcs,~ indeed,"moro than favorably with tho levithan 16 inch gun mounted on Homer Shoals to defend NSw York Harbor. This gun is but a few inches under 30' feet long, it weighs 126 tons, and fires a projectile weighing as nearly a3 possible* a hundredweight oyer a ton, with a charge of 1,300 lbs. of powder. ' It cost S300,000 to make and mount, and each firing .means an expenditure of ��1,000; but its maximum range is said to be four miles less than that of our 30-ton guns. It can be c- fired onco in two minutes, so that an hour's continuous firing would cost $30,000 in shells and powder aloiio. To test the penetrating power of these mammoth weapons an interesting experiment was made some tiiim ago with a 10 inch calibre gun firing a projectilo weighing 1,800 lbs. 'Ih'i target was a composite one of sle-el, iron, * timber, granite, and concrete, and it was found that the shell, lired at close range, passed through a compound plate of steel and iron 20 inches thick, a second plate of iron 8 inches thick, 20 feet of sqtiarod oak timber, 5 foot of granite, and 11 feet of concrete, and was only brought to a full stop after piercing 6 feet of brick behind them all. ___ 4.
