At the same meeting the follow ing resolutions were adopted, 1. That conventions for nominating candidates for members of the legislative assembly be made up nf delegates chosen us follows: (a) In city electoral districts, one delegate for every fifty t*.nd**'frnction of fift> votes polled at the provincial election held in 1900, and if the city is div ided into wards, the proportion of delegates for each ward shall be based on the vote polled in each ward at the last municipal election. (b) In other electoral districts, one delegate for every fifty or fraction of fifty votes polled at the provincial election held in 1900, the delegates to be apportioned to polling places, or as near thereto as will be fair to the voters of the different neighborhoods. _. The election of delegates shall be at public meetings, held at a designated central place in each polling division, or in each ward in clt> electoral districts, if the city is div ided into wards.

Their tasks, especially writing, were mo3t creditable and the little sums worked out by a number bf them were very neatly ai ranged. \ And then came high noon. The piincipal rung the bell and in orderly manner the boys and girls got their hats and, filing up in the main corridor, departed for their homes. .The rooms weie brilliant with flowers us a compliment to, the visitors and a very pleasant hour was spent wnadering from room to room. There were no particular jubilations among the youngsters when they got outside, for we think their minds were busy with the question "what will I do tomorrow" which will be all to tiouble them for some six weeks to come.

For example, a copper ore marketed in 1001 would have earned a* net profit of 27.3 per centrabove nil winking expenses; if sold in 11)02 it would have made no profits, merely paid expenses. With profits .so diminished, the mine-owner produced and sold as little ore as he could afford to, confining his effort*, to development and leaving his ore in the ground until such times a.s thc market should improve, as it was hound to do soon; iu fact, ,-it the present writing, the rise in the market price i.s mar ked." ��������� That Ibis prediction is correct is shown by current quotations which are now as follows: Closing Up Sale.

Platinum as a market commodity is more valuable than gold and yet it has only been saved m the Similkameen district and that to the small amount of $190. The careful analysis ��������� published legarding its occurrence in Cariboo should stimulate mine owners there to take the necessary steps to save this valuable and useful mineral which, in some localities shows nearly 8 oz. to the ton. Taken all m all the Province may congratulate itself on its present position as a mineial producer its output being over 49 per cent, of that of the Dominion, and look forward with increased confidence to an even more prosperous future. put up a particularly good game, and Cao, in his new position at goal, showed up well.

Thc Son of God has shown us that all of us arc God's sons arrd daughters. "If children, heirs���������heirs of God." Such right have we to claim that His kingdom shall come ; that all laws shall be His law ; that the strong shall help the weak arrd the weak the strong. The children arc brothers and sisters. Because they arc, they shall bear the other's burdens. A Long* Sleep Attor ���������.--- ���������-- --. -- ��������� .--- - * - . _,,._ niii-ui. , i.ui m_. miviiiu iiu(i**(.*_, (Ul 11 .10 (Mack l>r.

It is said that wc "dearly love tt lord," and there arc also many of us who attach more importance to statements made, or opinions enunciated, by a professor than to those of any ordinary individual, no matter the extent of his experience and thc greatness of his practical knowledge. This being so, the remarks made by Prof. Pritchard on the subject of watering horses before feeding may be taken to heart by many readers of this journal who have not taken any particular* notice of the reiterated advice given in these columns always to supply water before feeding with corn, and not afterwards. In the course of a paper dealing with some maladies associated with indigestion in thc horse, read recently to the members of the Midland Counties Veterinary Medical Association, Prof. Pritchard said :���������"He believed that in 99 cases out of every 100 of colic, taking the general acceptation of the term, it could be traced to indigestion, and that, in his opinion, the large majority of cases of indigestion arose from one cause���������improper feeding. "This did not necessarily mean feeding on indigestible food; it frequently meant proper food given in an improper manner. So firmly did he hold*, this opinion that if a case of colic occurred in a horse of his, the first time he should caution thc groom, and the second time he should s.c that the man groomed for someone else. He waa alluding to the danger of watering horses after' they were fed. When a*. horse had finished its meal tlie food' ought to undergo normal digestion, but if, after a horse had eaten a portion of his iood, or perhaps the whole* of it.it was given a drink of water, digestion was interrupted. The gastric juice which nature was pouring into the stomach to* bring about tbe digestive process was weakened. Fernte-nta* An editor of Tho Francnis, M.

I hatch all my turkeys with common hens, and keep the turkeys laying from March to July. Many prefer to set the eggs under turkey hens. It is best to allow the hen to choose her owrf nest if it is in a suitable place and where other stock won't bother her. After she has settled down to business build a temporary cover over her to keep off the hot sun and rain. Place fresh water daily near the nest and throw down a handful or two of corn at the same time, but don't disturb her. Ifit is desirable to have the turkey, set in a certain place take barrels, lay them on their sides and build the nest therein. These nests should be inclosed in a high lence, so as to keep the other fowls out. Have this yard as large as possible with a good grass sward, Place corn and water thenn and go away. Occasionally look to see that each turkey returns to her nest. Always remove the hen to these _ nests at night. Place artificial eggs in the nest and lock her in until she quiets down, when the eggs can be given her.���������R. W. Davison, in American Agriculturist. ��������� Scandal vs. Distress.

There arc a great many horse-owners who do not like to give cold water to a horse that has come in from hard work, heated and fatigued. They arc quite rt*/M". and this, going to thc opposite extreme, would be even mere productive of mischief. There is a difference, however, in hard cold water pumped or drawn irom a deep well, or drawn from underground pipes, and Ihe same water that has stood for some time exposed in an open vessel, and so had its temperature raised to that of the atmosphere; the latter would"* be harmless. By far. the best plan is to keep water always within reach of horses, if it is kept clean and frequently changed. Horses allowed' to drink when they like, and as much as they like, drink relatively less than those to whom it is offered at stated intervals, whether before or after feeding, and are the least likely to suffer from indigestion. Thc temperature is always about right, and it will be observed that when the horse comes into the stable he takes a drink, and docs not. touch it during feeding or immediately afterwards. Some horses, popularly known as "sippcrs," do not thrive at all well if. they are restricted to water at long intervals, but do very well if they have water always by them. There are a few horses that cannot be trusted, or that make such a mess with it that this plan cannot be adopted, but these must'be put in'the "black list," and their intemperance is not a valid argument against thc general adoption of the Plan of providing horses with "free drinks." In any case the water should be given before feeding.���������Pate- ley Bridge, in Farm and Home, London, Eng. work, and If they are ynwllftng to undertake It for a dollar a month they will have to bo paid two *������r even three.

Green Bone For Fowls. Fresh grass makes milk. Fresh bones make eggs. Green bones contain the right materials for egg production, and also stimulate the egg-producing organs to action without detrimental ef-, fects. In a scries of experiments conducted at a*West Virginia experiment station thirty-four hens were divided into two similar lots, each kept under exactly the same conditions and each receiving the same grain ration. One lot, however, was fed fresh green bone and the other meat meal. During thc experiment the fowls receiving -the fresh bone laid 3,824 eggs, weighing 405.2 pounds, or an average weight of 1275 pounds per 100 eggn, while the_ meat meal lot laid only 3,260 eggs, weighing 391.2 potmds, and weighing 11.94 pounds per 100. Consequently, thc fowls fed fresh bones not only gained more in weight, but .they also laid more and larger eggs. We should, however, avoid using bones that have on them tainted meat. If fed continuously it will impart a bad flavor to the eggs, and -some go sofar as to say that thc eggs will grow stale more quickly and will not keep well even in cold-storage. Protein is what we are after in selecting - a feed for eggs, and in no way can it be so easily obtained and at so small a cost as in fresh ground bone.���������Agricola, in New York Tribune. .

At CHesterfield recently it is reported a woman died owing to exertion occasioned by killing a fowl. The London evening paper that records this* strange circumstance cannot resist,a joke on* the remarkable .toughness of the fowl, but , when we have done laughing, it must. be * acknowledged tl^crc .is a serious side to the story, even from the fowl's point of view. Far too many poultry are inhumanely killed, and in-many cases from'excess of sentimentality on the part of owners, who, not caring to accomplish the task themselves, delegate it to a boy who enjoys prolonging the bird's death agony. It is perfectly easy to kill ,a fowl instantaneously, and with no more effort than that required in snapping a thread. Anyone who has ever seen a Sussex fattcner at work will wonder that the method he employs is not more followed, for it cannot be bettered. Thc fowl i3 taken in thc left hand, the tips of thc wings and the legs gathered together, so that it lies quite helpless and cannot . struggle. The operator is usually seated, and, laying, the fowl over his knees, so that the head dangles down*- he takes firm hold of the latter with ihe thumb and forefinger, and gives it a smart jerk. Head and neck come apart, but the head is held by the skin, unless, of course, a clumsy hand jerks too hard and pulls the head entirely off. By this method, a certain amount of btood is drawn from the b'ody, and fills the cavity between head and neck, but none is spilt visibly. Death is instantaneous, but violent muscular contraction follows for a minute or two, and thc body must be firmly held while this lasts. A novice, killing a fowl in this way, should deal_ it a sharp 'blow on the head, stunning it,, and then, encircling "the" neck with' finger and thumb, jerk at it till the 'joint snaps, but with a little practice one pull is all that will be required. Breaking thc neck will also kill the fowl, but in "this case no blood will be drained from the body. Also the bird can be hung up by the legs, and the point of a knife driven into tlie upper part ot thc throat, the brain is pierced, and death in.tantly follows. The fowl should hang some minutes to bleed. If amateurs at poultry killing will carefully follow thc above directions, they can kill their fowls without unnecessary pain to the bird and also without endangering their own lives and adding to the hilarity of readers of evening papers.���������G.D.L.,in Farmer and Stockbreeder, London, Eng. Feeding Sheep on Roots. Thc results of experiments carried out by the Royal Agricultural Society of England on feeding sheep on* roots have warranted thc following conclusions:��������� (1) That feeding sheep on a limited supply of roots will not fatten them as well or as quickly as giving them a more liberal supply of roots. (2) That feeding sheep* on thc land without any roots, and making up for lhe deficiency by giving extra hay with treacle and water, resulted in considerable financial loss.

His face was Hushed and his eyes looked glassy and feverish, but he smiled at her, aud told her that he was going to be a good patient. "What did that fellow say to you." he asked. "Have you been talking to hiin al this time?" "IIow did you know I spnko to him at all?" asked Norma in surprise. "Why, I heard your voices as soon as he got outside the door! Well, isn't he a cud?'* Norma hesitated. She did cot want to excite Astley by Uie leu_t appearance of disagreement with him, though sho scarcely felt justified in absenting to his view. "I think he'll take every care ot you," she said, evading the diteet answer. "Ok yes, yes, 1 dure say. But he's a swaggering bounder ull the same. And I hate his wife as much as I hate him. She's full of affectation*-; they both put on no end of Bide, and yet they're both alive, and I strongly, advise you to be equally incredulous." "What motive could she have for practising such a deception upon a husband who was always good to ber?" asked No-rmn indisrnanlly. Dr. Wharles shrugged his shoulders. "-The whole thing seems improbable, and I shouldn't allow the faint possibility thai it is true to disturb me if I wore you," said he. Norma moved impatiently. "As if one could help it!" she said. "I repeat: what motive could sha have had*-** "Bom was always a flighty little thing," ���������aad the doctor, "and if thi* appalling suggestion should*prove to be true, I imagine we shall find that -she waa . frightened by the divorce proceedings her tnny-.m/l had started against her." 1 "And if she is alive, he will' have all ' the worry of beginning them again," said Horn*.

I repeat, we do not know yet that Lottie Darwen is still alive. But, if she is, I believe Sir Astley will find that the "bond*between himself and har is not to be broken." Norma waited a few moments after he had finished speaking, and then rose to her feet. "One thing is certain," said she, "and* that is that .Sir Astley must be told Bathing about ull this until he'is quite well again. After the fatigue and anxiety he has recently gone through, this would retard his recovery, I'm sure." - "I quite agree with you, Lady Astley," said the -doctor* earnestly.

"I thank you for your offer, Dr. Wfcarles," die said, after a. short pause to recover her composure. "But I think ��������� still better plan would be for me to consult Sir Astley's solicitors." "An excellent idea," assented the doctor. "I believe I ean give you their address: you mean his London solicitors, of course!" "Yes," said Norma. "I think I would rattier not speak of ths matter to anybody in this neighborhood except yourself." "That also is a very wise decision, and I must compliment you on showing so much discernment. .For you are very young to be burde-ed with such unhnp- ~>y responsibilities," said the doctor kindly, and \v*" and tone. "Of course," went on the doctor,1 "you* will ask one of the partners to come and see you here; you won't "go up to London yourself, for fear that, if Lottie should be' really still in the flesh, she should burst in upon Sir Astley in your absence. She was always a, most impulsive woman, and I am dreading what will happen if she is really still alive, when she learns that there is a Lady Astley nlrendy established here." "We must he prepared to face that risk," said Norma calmly. "You may trust ine to take emu, however, that Srr Astley is not intiudcd upon." She gevo the doctor a look which implied that he was going farther with his admonitions than was necessary, nnd be took the hint, and bowed himself out, with another mummied expression of his readiness to do anything lie could to help her. , When he had gorre Norma flrst gave I Astley frowned. "Oh, he's got round you because ho'������ good-looking," said he impatiently. "I can't think how women can admire that type of man. To me it's the very emptiest sort of looks, such as you might admire in a tailor's dummy, and���������" Norma, 'who had taken his mutely given invitation to sit down on the dhair by the bedside, rose and leaned over him. "If' you don't leave off talking this minute," sho whispered in the gentlest of voices,-laying a softly restraining hand upon his twitching fingers, "I muat go away."*,- -. * i Sha was surpris. d by the wistful look which there was in his gray eyes as he looked up. "No, no, don't go away. I won't say another word if only you'll stay," he said. The thrill which shot through Norma's heart at these words brought the sudden tears to her eyes. What did he feel for her tben?_ Something more, surely, than hod been appai-ut all this time under his easy, every- iy charm of manner? Did he, could "e feel for her that strange something whioh made her heart' beat faster when she heard bis voice or met Us ������ye*t .-Was he beginning to lore her! Oh Hm.y������. the thought was bitter��������� _ sweet, almost mora than ahe could bear I As i his hot fingers closed round her own,-Norma resumed-lier seat,* glad of the excuse ta do'bo, since she* could scarcely stand for trembling. Where was her boasted coldness now? Where was tlie adamantine hardness which she'had believed in so firmly, which had made her think it possible for hor to t-toat the marriage tie as a mere form? Here was she stirred to the very depths by a mere' ~ touch of the hand of the man who was to have been merely a business partner, sharing her fortune but not her .heart, 'heart-whole himself, leaving her heart- whole tool i ��������� ��������� , As ehe sat there, listening to his rapidly-drawn breath, Norma felt the'scales of. ignorance and girlish .folly fall from her eyes. She knew what" her mother's unconventional counsels had prevented her learning before, that a woman is but a poor, weak thing when nature speaks within her, ready to bow her head* and to stretch forth her hand, and to place "herself 'under the yoke of that instinct for which she was born, of love and honor for-tlie first true man who shall look into her eyes with eyes of love.*' For it' wns love,'was it not,"that she saw in his eyes, that .she felt in his touch, love repressed till then, but apparent now that illness had relaxed lus hold upon himself?. Norma felt little doubt of it; little doubt either, that he who had-known so much more than she, had'understood what she had not, that the bond entered into by her so lightly would soon become more permanent. And her heart was, -toni-by- the-pangs-of- Iove_on_the_on_e_ hand and of distress on the other. For ahe knew, what he did not, of the danger'whicli hung over them, of the shadow of the woman which was hovering be-, .tween them and happiness. "Norma,'.' said he srrddenly, "give me something to drink. I'm parched." "Yes, dear." As she rose, and withdrew her hand gently from his detaining fingers, she felt a mad throb of joy at the tone in which he spoke to her.-It was an order that ha gave her, not a request: it was, so her instinct told her, the tone of a man who is sure'of his own. She was delirious with the excitement of this new feeling as she moved- softly ahour the room, drew down the blinds, rang tho bell, and gave her orders for the cooling drink she wanted. The medicine hud come, and sire poured the dose into n glass, and went track to tho bed, with a loving smile upon her f.ice.

"I perceive from your manner that you're going lo be a tyrant," said hc_ as sho rearranged his pillow before he In;, down again. - "I shouldn't wonder," said she. That wits all. Without another word he took her hand again, and lay quietly holding it, sometimes looking at her, sometimes keeping his eyes closed. She, poor girl, wondered what his thoughts were, aud comforted herself with the knowledge that they could uot be us sad as her own. ���������And yet, through all the distress, all the terror she was in, Uie fear that he might wake to the knowledge that he was still bound to a woman irr whom he had lost confidence and who had deceived liim cruelly, hideously, Norma could not help feeling, side by bide with this miB* Ana he felt this even more strongly than she did: she was sure of this. Love had given her sympathy, understanding. She needed no words to tell her thnt, for good or for ill, for happiness or for misery, it was she, she only, who held Astley's heart. It was strange that, ill as he undoubtedly was, the one fear that never entered her head was that death would take him away from her. A shadow there was between them, but it was not thatl When the idea presented itself as a dim horror to her mind, she scouted it instantly, incredulous, fierce. No: her love could avail nothing against the possibility of the existence of a living, breathing woman who was his legal wife: but against tho powers of death she felt strong. Blind, foolish as the feeling was, she believed that her love, her tender care, her trust in heaven, would keep the hand of death away. . As night drew on Astley grew Testlcss and began to mutter incoherently, nnd to turn his head from side to side on tho pillow. At flrst thc sound of her voice would be enough to cheek these symptoms; but as tire evening wore on she know, with a pang, that ho had lost consciousness of the fact that sire was by fcis side. When the doctor came in again, ns ho had promised to do, Astley seemed for a moment to recognise 'him, for he frowned slightly, and turned his head away; but the next instdnt he began to speak in a low voice, in a rumbling manner, about his cousin Hugh's dogs, and about the new stable arrangements. Dr. Wharles did not stay long; at the door of the room Norma, who would not go outside, asked for instruction** for the night's watching. "You'll surely not sit up yourself, Lady Darwen," said he. "You had better let Mrs. Griffiths���������" Norma shook her head decidedly. "Mrs. Griffiths can relieve me to-morrow for a little while," said she. "But nobody but me shall watch by him thiough tue -night." "But���������excuse me���������you look too fragilo for this sort of work!" said Dr. Wharles. Norma smiled. "A woman," 9he answered, "is always strong enough for the work she loves ta do." The doctor was touched. He hesitated, frowned slightly, seemed inclined to say something, then changed his mind very suddenly, and left her somewhat hastily. "Who was that?" cried the patient from the bed. Norma turned to him quickly. Without quite recognizing the doctor, Astley appeared to have been conscious of an antipathetic presence, and was for a few moments petulant and difficult to manage. Then, under the influence of caressing woi ds and tones, he sank back on the pillow, and presently began muttering once more. Then for the first time Norma heard her own name. But he was not addressing her. "Norma���������Norma," Baid he slowly, speaking with'closed eyes and below his breath. "Poor littl girl!'; Then he laughed a little. "1 won't do it!" ha said suddenly.."I w< *'t do it! Absurd, absurd! And yet���������'-' There was a pause, and he went- on: '/Why not? Why shouldn't we join forces? It's mad, mad,* mad!'

"We will do it," eaid he in a whisper. "There's a*tie between us already: she feels it���������she's grateful���������in her. odd way.' Yes, we'll do it, we'll do it, and defy the gods!

Poor child!" ���������.*'���������-*", ��������� Norma, with her eyes full of tears, drew nearer to the bedside and laid her warm hand en ABtley's hot fingers. At first 'he did not seem to feel the touch, but presently he turned his head, in her direction, though without opening his eyes. "You shall be happy; wa'H be happy," said he. And then, while her tears fell, he rambled on, with a sudden change to an irritable tone, about the things he had to see to at the Haigh, about his cousin's death, and about bis lame limb. All through the early hours of the night he slept very little, and had snatches of delirium in between. But Norma remained alone with him, refusing all companionship, watching him, tending him, soothing him sometimes with tender, whispered words. And through, all the trouble and all the pain, she felt the comfort of his kindness, of his sympathy, of his dawning love. ' With the morning came a strange dec- tor, who said that'Dr. Wharles hod been called away suddenly, and that he was taking his'patients for the Hay. Astley' was conscious when he came, and Norma thought that an enquiring frown crossed his face. But he said nothing, and indeed spoke very little all that day. But be got some refreshing ���������sleep, and Norma was able to go away "an'd*Tget~a���������oouple-of-houra'-rest���������whilo Martin took her place by the bedside. And in the evening a note was brought' to her from Mrs. Wharies, which ehe opened and read in the sick-roam. * It1 contained an enclosure and the following words from Mrs. Wharles: "Dear Madam���������I have just received thc enclosed letter from my husband, and I have thought it bast to seiid it on to you at once.

"Martin," she called in a low voice from the tones of which no one couh1 have detected the agitation from which she was suffering, "who brought this letter?" "Mrs.' Wharles herself, my lady." "Is she gone?" "Yes, my lady, she didn't wait." "Send someone after her; ask her to come back and speak to nre. And, then you will take my place by Sir Astley till I come back." Martin ran downstairs, and Norma, unwilling to return to Astley to answer questions, remained outside tire sick-room door till she heard by the sounds below that the doctor's wife bad entered the hall and been shown into the drawing- room. Then Martin came up, and Norma, outwardly calm but inwardly agitated as .-"iie had never been before, went down wi*-***, -.-������������������-- - " ��������� __><��������� ..������������������- _-_.i-t.i__e ana across the cold, bare hall to that gloomy apartment of state which betrayed, as rro other room in the big house did, how long it had been without feminine occupation. A footman was lighting the heavy old- fashioned jjlass chandelier which hung from the middle of the lofty painted ceiling. The lighting un showed yellowish- white and gold walls, with somo tarnished gilding; rows of choirs placed stiflly against the sides of the room, interspersed with sofas and couches, all swathed alike in washed-out brown hol- land coverings; tall glasses which reflected each other in endless weird depths of glimmering gas-lights arrd spectral hol- land furniture; tables which held nothing; a brown Holland harp; a brown lrol- land piano. In the middle of the floor stood a tall woman in black, whom Norma recognized, as she had been pointed out to her by Astley at the station. A cold-look- Ing face, with aquiline features and hard black eyes, a.languid and all'ccted manlier; these were her most striking attributes, and Norma was not surprised at ABtley's prejudice ngainst her. "Mrs. Wharles?" The doctor's wife put out a limp hand, with her elbow raised very hij;h. '���������Yes." * ��������� There was a moment's pause, as Norma invited the visitor to be seated; but the footman, having by that lime finished his task of lighting up, left thc room, and the two ladies faced each other on the sofa. '���������I thought," brj-nii Mrs. Wharles, in a mincing tone, "Unit 1 had better lose no time. So I didn't even have the car* riage ordered round. I came myself ������n foot at once." "It was very kind of you," said Norma with a little coldness. The woman's air of mingled patronage and affected languor was intolerable. "Of course it is very dreadful for you, and my husband and I both feel for you sincerely. But at thc same time there is my sister to be considered, and of course she has every right to be recognized as Lady Darwen," went on the doctor's wife, serenely. This was rather too much, and Norma, who saw that Mrs. Wharles intended to presume upon her own mild manners and quiet tone, began to p'crceive that she must assert herself a little. She laughed drily. "A woman who has laid a cunning plot to deceive her husband by pretending to be dead may find it rather difficult to justify herself," she suggested. "Especially when ahe is more than suspected of 'having deceived him in other ways." Mrs. Wharles reddened slightly and became a trifle less off-hand in manner. "Lottie was always a wild creature," said she, "and not like other people. That was one of her charms." "I'm afraid Sir Astley is hardly likely to appreciate these particular instances of-it!" "You are prejudiced, very naturally," Baid Mts. Wharles with vivacity. "I dare say I am. Sir Astley happens to be prejudiced in the same way." "But he won't be able to divorce her," eaid Mrs. Wharles, quickly recovering her ���������elf-oonfidence. "That I'm convinced of."

She dared not answer. Mrs: Wharles went on: "You'll excuse my speaking plainly, won't you? I always think it's best. Now poor Lottie is sorry and ashamed of herself, and most anxious to return to ber husband and explain things." "I can quite understand that," said Norma frigidly. ���������A-sudden-illuminating_ flash _of_intelli-_ genoe rfiowed her' a possible reason for the action taken by the doctor and his wife. She conceived that, this Lottie, whether innoeent of the charges brought against her or not, had grown tired of her husband, whose slender allowance had not been sufficient to provide her with any great amount of luxury, and had determined, when deceiving nhn b\ her pretended death, io disappear from his sight forever. And Norma thought it probable tha! it was less by the. wish of the ���������Aromas herself than by that of her greedy and ambitious relatives that she now proposed to coma to life again, and, with the help and connivance of these aanrc relations, make it impossible for Astle\ to prove his charges against her, and n<* settle herself upon him again now thai he waa in a. brilliant position. For if, she argued to herself, the wife had really been as unscrupulous and n** greedy as her sister evidently^ was, slu would not have been so retiring and modest on the occasion of her appear ance at Oxford.

The aged statesman wa' surrounded by his. family, all oi whon had remained within call since thej were summoned to his bedside at mid night on Wednesday, a long vigil o eighty hours. They were Sheriff am Mrs. Mowat, Mr. Arthur and Mrs Mowat, Mr. C. R. W. Biggar, K.C and Mrs Biggar, Mr. Thomas Lang ton, K.C., and Mrs. Langton, and Misi Mowat. Dr. Primrose and Dr. Temple were also present. Sir Oliver die not regain consciousness. His vitality, tlie physicians said, was wonderful, and his life simply ebbed away. The first public announcement of thi death was the hall-masiing of the flag on Government House, and it was not long before on all public buildings anc many private ones Hags were at half- mast and spread the news throughou' the city. Premier Ross called at Government House in the afternoon, and it was aftei a conference with him that the abovt announcement regarding the state funeral was made. This morning tht Premier will arrange with Colone Otter the details of the ceremony. Thc members of the Legislature, City Council and other public bodies anc also many societies will attend. There will be a military escort, composed oi a detachment of Royal Canadian Dragoons, mounted. lt was not thought advisable to parade all the city regi xnents.

President, Daniel Ross, Vice-President; Donald Inrig, Treasurer; D. A. Rose, jun., anc Gilbert L. Sutherland.

He came of good Scotch stock, being one <~f the Mowats oi Bucholie. Caithness-shire, Scotland, thc restorers . and owners of the ancient castle of tbe Vikings in Scotland. H\s father, John Mowat, was a soldier, who had seen stern service under Wellington during the Peninsular wars witb France. * His mother was Mao Levack, also of Caithness. The elder Mowats lived at Carisbay, which place they left in 1816. coming to Canada' and settling in Kingston. The fruit of the marriage was'hve children, three sons and two daughters. Oliver was the first child He was educated at private schools in his native cit>, one of his teachers being Rev. John Cruikshank, at that time held in high esteem as a teacher of youth.

Macdonald, who, **eing five years his senior, had been admitted to the Bat and had begun to practise his profession. Mr. Mowat's pu" lie career may be said to have begun in 1857^ when hi was elected an Alderman for' St. Lawrence Ward, in th** City of Toronto. He again sat in Council in 1S58. as a representative from St. James' Ward.

Now *���������*.��������� -lie was back once more to try the - .soothing quiet of his old town. At last "- _.-__be seemed to have found what he bad -sought for ln vain ia foreign lands��������� *_reet and peace of mind. He wondered If Grace Dean was still ���������-"^Tving at her old home in the quiet 'little village nearby; but he refrained from making inquiries about the girl that everybody In tbe neighborhood -knew he had jilted for a vile adventuress. Somehow hiB surroundings - reemed to bring her back to his mind, -and he often found himself thinking ���������nf their youthful love, with a longing -���������to know what she was liko as a grown ^lp woman. H. knew she must be ' *>eautiful, for she had given promise of - "j_>ea.nt-' M a Elrli 'fhen he had known "Iter. As he was strolling along the road, that led to the vlllajre. in the quiet ���������afternoon, he came suddenly upon a -���������fjony carriage, driven by a young lady. 60 absorbed w.ts he with his thoughts that she was nearly upon his before he ���������was aware of her approach, and as he Siurriedly stepned aside to let her pass, ie looked full into her face. Their -eyes metr^iud-h~e_r~ecognlzed ~ Grace- Sean. A gr<*at flood of feeling came over him, but ere he could speak or move, she was past him. A faint odor of femininity filled the air about him. S_������ stood motionless for some time. ��������� -drinking in t'.re sweet fragrance, and ��������� --then, with tho full conviction of his "3ore upon him. he hurried home and ���������.������hnt himself in his study. For hours "he sat as one in a dream, thinking, -thinking, thinking.. Then he arose and ���������went to hi3 writing-desk. He had eome to a sudden resolve, and ha wrote the following letter: ' Oak Knowl, September 28, 18��������� Dear Grace: ��������� '. I know the gulf between us ts wider than eternity. Not even hope, ���������with me. dare even attempt to span It. ��������� Only death can bridge It over. Then "���������we must all forgive each other If we. ��������� 'lope for the forgiveness that shall lead -us Into the happiness never known <*this side of the grave. When I drifted away from you and ��������� your great ior?. I thought I saw hap- .-piness ahead of me, even greater than il had ever known. But oh, how sadly .mistaken I was. I have been pursuing a bubble all ���������these weary years. It was all gilt and glitter, and to my blinded eyes, -was worthy of all tbe Jove I lavished ���������upon it. But alas! it burst! as all bubbles must, and there is nothing left but the ashes of a burned out passion. Not one happy memory Ib left to reward mo lor my reckless devotion. All it has left me is a heart full of sadness and regret. After years of ceaseless travel, seeking for the contentment I cannot find, I am back again in my old home; but tt is anything but a happy home-com- Ing. It brings b���������'r* memories of those early years, when you and I were happy young lovers, without a sorrow or a care in the world. ri tose are happy memories. But then, too, it brings back memories of her who came between us and wrought us so much woe. And those memories aro wormwood to me. With all her beauty, she was a very wicked woman, as you no doubt have heard, and led me a devil of a lifo for three years, then discarded me, as she would have discarded a pair of soiled Gloves. She Is dead now T have heard, and ���������with her that bitter past is buried. "Look not mournfully Into the Past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve tho Present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future, .without fear, and with n manly heart." Those words have Impressed themselves upon mo with the full force ot their meaning, and as they strengthened Longfellow, so have they strengthened me. Henceforward I Bhall strive to live only in the Presents and let the Past bo dead, and speculate not out the Future, but take what it shall bring to me from day to day. I had thought to spend some tlmo here, looking after my much-neglected estate; but when you passed me today, Buch a flood of thoughts and feelings came over me that I knew lt would be Impossible for me to live so near you, with so much to remind me of our by-gono happiness. When I looked Into your face, 1 thought of what life might have been for me���������of all the happiness that would have filled these years of mis- cry, hnd I been faithful to you. I felt like crying out ln my despair, and flinging myself at your feet. Imploring you to forgive and forget.

Bidding the man wait, she broke the eeal, and pale as death, read what she bad been longing to know���������that Paul still loved her. Without hesitation, she threw a wrap about her shoulders, saying te the servant: .... . "1 will go back with you." "'���������-"���������- It was enough that Paul loved her; ���������and he was going away. She mast never let,him do that. She hurried along the street, that ���������was now nearly deserted, and on into the country road, and soon stood before Paul's door. Her heart gave a little flutter as she thought of tbe impropriety of her coming to him, and then throwing etiquette to the wind, she entered and was shown into the study, where Paul etill sat with his head bowed upon his arms. She stole softly up to him and gently laid her hand upon his shoulder and spoke his name. Slowly he raised his head from the table, and as he looked into the depths of-her-soft-eyes. _he saw���������not_only_ forgiveness���������but the divine light of love ineffable, and the past and all Its bitterness, faded away, as mist before the ilslng sun, ln her happy tearful smile. 9_e clasped her to his heart, and ln that mutual embrace, .hoy knew life's meaning as they had never known it before.���������Earl Leo Brownson. THE END OFA ROMANCE the Mysterious Hero Turns Out to lit a Dolect!v(*. At a large wedding reception recently the attention of a couple of girls waa attracted to a rather fine looking man, whose prematurely gray hair and clear cut. features combined in giving him a distinguished appearance. "1 see him at nearly every large wed-1 ding I go to," said one. "I wonder who ho can be. I've asked lots of people, and nobody seems to know. Yet ho seems to bo invited everywhere." "Yes, I've noticed him, too," said the other girl. "While ho apparently goes to all tho big weddings, he doosn't seem to know anybody; or, at least, I've never scon him talking to anybody. He's such an Interning looking mun, too. I'd lovo to moot him. Ho looks like a man who had lived and-* and suffered." A young man standing near, who couldn't help overhearing this conversation, laughed. 'Tcrhaps I can throw somo light iipon the Identity of your mysterious hero," he said. "Do you know him*." exclaimed both girls In the same breath. "Well, I can't say that I exactly know him," replied the young man; -but I know who ho is. He's a private detective. Perhaps you have noticed that he never strays far away from tho tables on which the presents are displayed. That's what he's there for���������to watch them.

Presently the baby began to cry, and the awkwardness and helplessness of the young man were so marked as to attract general attention. At this point one of the waiting passengers, a fat and amiable looking marr, crossed the room and sal dto the distressed baby tender. "A young woman gave you that baby to hold while she went to see about her baggage, didn't she?" "es." ���������"Well, now, I knew it as soon as I saw you. You expect her back, I suppose?" "Of course." "Ha! Ha! You are looking for her every minute, ain't you?" "I think she'll come back." "Ha! Ha! Excuse me, but I can't Iielp laughing. A woman once played the same trick on me. I was ln Chicago. You're caught, young man. Sho took you for a hayseed." "Oh, 6he'll come back," answered the young man as he looked anxiously around. . "She will, eh? Ha! Ha! Ha! What makes you think so?" "Why, because she's my wife, and this is our flrst baby." "Oh���������un���������I see!" mutterd the fat man, and he was in such haste to get back to the other side of the room that he nearly fell over a passing pug dog. ���������.Buffalo Enquirer.

Though the voice of the speaker had ft sharp, rasping tone, it was not altogether unkindly in its accent, and the twelve-year-old boy, to whom it was addressed, stopped short in his headlong course, hastily brushing one of his ragged sleeves across his tear-dimmed eyes as he faced the other. He had a thin, pindhed face, and his ellght figure was clothed in a well- worn suit of ahout three sizes too largo for him, bo that he presented anything but a comely appearance.

"Charcoal Noah" everybody called him as far as ho was known, and the thick layers of dust from the Krimy kiln ehowed that he well deserved the name. "I say, bub, what's the matter?" he asked, for though the boy had dried hia tears he had not answered his first question.

"I haven't a relative or a friend In the whole world!" exclaimed the boy, beginning to cry again. "That's a lie!"cried the old charcoal burner bluntly���������"at least while ol' Noah Dahvers lives. Come over to my sod palace an' share a livin' with me. You're welcome as long as you'll stay." The boy) who, until we know a'better name for him, we must call Curley, had often heard ot the old charcoal burner am a strange, eccentric outcast from society, but he was not loath to accompany him. ' After going a short distance .they eame Into a clearing in the growth of gray birches, where a dark cloud of smoke and the emell of burning sod- and wood* betokened the vicinity of a charcoal kiln. Near by was the queer, odd-shaped abode of Charcoal Noah. This last looked like the roof of a small building with the eaves coming to the ground. The sides of this A- ���������haped structure were made of inner surface of upright sticks covered * on the outside with a heavy coating of sods. One end had been left open, and this faced the side of a perpendicular ledge at the base of which a fire-was burning cheerfuliy. Though the only couch the occupant knew was a pile of straw, the sod dwelling was more -comfortable than It appeared at first sight. In such a habitation as this Charcoal Noah had passed more than twenty years of his life, tending his kilns and growing much griraer and blacker each succeeding season, until it was no wonder he was almost like a piece of charcoal himself. Friendless and homeless, Curley was only too glad to accept of the old man's rude hospitality, and he began to do such work for hlrn as he could, which service was gladly received by the other. . < So a week passed, and though there was every indication of the near approach of snow, and wintery weather, the,, old charcoal burner declared he must prepare and burn two kilns more before ho quit. As the wood had got to be chopped for the purpose, this meant considerable of a job, which would take nearly two weeks of time. Now, after a kiln baa been built and set on fire", though is has to be continually watched, night and day, the old burner had generally intended to cut his wood for the-following one during his Intervals of waiting on the first. The weather, however, had prevented him from doing this for the preceding days, so Curley's the jury and began telling the story to the judge. The judge, in a bland and courteous manner said: "Address ymimelf to the jury, sir." The man made a short j>ause, but. for him, as, after a .little showing the lattter managed to tend the kiln almost entirely days: Then during the night watches he took his turns in the lonely vigils, climbing the sides of the notwithstanding what had been said to .smoking kiln whenever it was neces- j sary and "stamping in" the sods, as I had to be done as. fast as the wood un-* 1 derneath waa charred by the Rro so as to settle away. ���������;.'���������'��������� One afternoon there was a visitor to tha "bush," a Mr. Preston, who bought coal and had come oyer to look at somo housed near the kiln.

"Thought you did a smart thing, running away from us, didn't you, you lazybones?" "I didn't run away," replied Curley. "Your father said he didn't want ma any longer." "Oh, such a atory! But perhaps you like burning charcoal better. It is such nice, clean work! And look. Will, see what a fine house they live ln. Let's take a peep inside." Knowing Romnnzo's meddlesome nature, Curley tollownl hlrn niul lil.-r companion to the sod lint, to get thoro Just ns the first was about to pull thoir straw bed to pieces. "Stop that!" cried Curley. clinching his fists aud showing Unit, ho was in earnest. "How nro you going to help your- eclf?" deniniult'il Romanzo insolently. "If I etin't I'll call Noah." Though young Harden wns four years older thnn tho youthful coal burner, he showed by his notions Ihat ho wns somewhat afraid of him, or it may be he feared the iippouranco of Noah Dan vers, for ho left the hut at once. Mr. Preston wns down to tho coal Bhert*. nnd Romanzo. looking about as If for some mischief ho could do, his . attention became fixed upon the coal kiln, when he said: "Let's see you climb it, Rnggy." "1 can't go up now." "Afraid, eh? You're a pretty coal burner! But perhaps -you're afraid of soiling those nice clothes of yours.'-' "The kiln Is too near������tlme for drawing for anyone to go into it," replied Curley, appearing calmer than he really felt. "Bah! you say that because you're afraid to. I guess if old Noah knew what a little coward ydu are ho wouldn't keep' you long. But perhaps you will go up now, just to show ub .how spry yoii are," and catching Curley's cap from hU head he flung it to the top of the kiln. The cap was an old one, but it was nil that the poor boy had. and he could not aiford to lose it. Stifling the anger nnd grief that he felt, he said: "I can get it with a pole," and started after one that lay on the ground near Iiy. "You are too bad, Romanzo," declared Will Preston, who had no sympathy With him in this disgraceful affair. "Think so, do you?" cried the other. "Well, while the raggy Imp is about lt lie can get two caps as well as ono," and* without considering what he was doing, Romanzo seized the new cap belonging to Will, to toss that upon the crest of the smoking kiln. Without realizing what risk he was taking ln his excitement over the prospective loss of his cap, Will rushed up the' steep, treacherous side of the kiln, and though he sunk ankle-deep ln the dried' earth every step, he reached the bollow depression on the top where hla.. cap lay, half covered by the fine dust and cinders. Then, as'he stooped to pick up his leap he suddenly felt the footing beneath him yield, and he sunk downward Into the burning pit, with a ehriek of terror upon his lips. Curley and. Romanzo-had witnessed this fearful'mishap with looks of horror, and as the unfortunate youth was enveloped in a cloud of Are and smoke and cinders the last uttered a cry of dismay. Mr. Preston's, attention was drawn to the frightful scene by the cries) but be was too far away to rescue his son,, If that were possible, though he started for the kiln at the top of his speed. Will, feeling the kiln caving in, scrambled to reach a place which would vbear .his weight, only to sink deeper Into the fiery pit, which was liable to break forth into a light blaze at any Instant. But by that time Curley sprung up the side of the kiln, and throwing himself flat upon Its side, he reached out his arms to grasp Will's outstretched {bands. The smoke was pouring up around him in dense, black volumes, and the air was filled with sparks which caught upon their clothes and caused them to gasp for breath. Curley"proVed his grlttlness wellrand" with all the strength he could muster be pulled Will out from the deadly crater, and together they rolled down the side of the 'clln. Just as the flames burst forth with a loud road. Mr. Preston bore them in their half- *incon8Clous state away from the heat of the fire, and at that moment Noah came pufllng nntl panting to the place. Curley.and Will soon recovered their cpnscl6u6ness, though they presented a sorry appearance, blackened and burned as they were. Explanations quickly followed, during which Romanzo stood by trembling from suppressed emotions over tha contemptible act he had perpetrated, expecting the punishment he deserved for his misdemeanor. At the same time Mr. Preston ;was praising Curley heartily for his heroic action, and from that-moment the poor, orphan had gained a second friend, whn waB to prove Invaluable to him In the years th at were to come. Mr.���������'������������������Preston Insisted that Curley should go home wlllr him, and though there wore tears irr the eyes of the old charcoal-burner at losing his protege j(o:80on,_he gave him Iris blessing and promised1 to come and see hlrn in the spring.

Thero was no talk between ���������man- and man, but to his mount each upoke a word from time to time���������a word of encouragement when ho lagged or of reproof if he stumbled. Toward 10 o'clock, when nearing the gate of the pasture, a light appeared ahead and to the left of our course. 'As we came up to the fence we eaw that it was a lantern hung on a fence post some twenty rods oft the road, nnd swinging in the wind. By Its fitful flare a man ln a long ulster was digging in the hard soil with a short- bandied spade. The man engrossed in his task had not seen, or, at least, had not noticed us. The loose horse turned ln at the gate struck up a lively gallop; there was "a general shaking up ot bridle reins and a rlnginc of spur chama. Up a Ions bill.and down a steep, short one, and we were at the ranch house, end the' grumbling cook was turning out to get us a hot supper. Half aa bour.later we were well'warned amd eating a good meal in the mess--kouse. "Laraway is digging 'up his bible again,"* remarked the 'eeok, aa ' be -poured some strong black "coffee lata big cups. Frank Laraway was ��������� better ������a������ fcy, half the men you know.

On the ranch and range he beeame a valuable., employe, but twice or autre each year he would disappear fer a time, returning haggard, shrunken and dead broke, anl with a fresh determination to conquer ' the appetite "1 don't want to'be good, or great! or rich,", said he; "I just want to be my own boss." , , It chanced one day that Xiaraway, then sobering np In a little railroad town, beard a man say: "I am going to Bwcar off this time on the biggest bible in town." He asked if he might ���������go, too. The two men went to a pastor's etudy, and the section hand, requesting him to produce the largest . pulpit bible, was solemnly sworn, with his band on its open page, to abstain forever from all Intoxicating beveragoa, "That is a long while," waa Lara- (sray's comment. . "Do you keep the bible locked up?" asked -the-Irishman.-anxiously. All men may be liars, but alV IU") are not men. "Tbe building is always closed when gaot in use," replied the pastor. "Why did you ask him that?" demanded Laraway, when they bad come nway. The Irishman marveled at Che question. "Why, don't you see?" said he. "It's because If I can't get at the book When the t'Irat is on me I can let off." Laraway bought a bible, and be -promised himself with hla band upoa it. that he would taste oo liquor for six months. Then be came home and went to work. He wrote the date la the book, and kept the bonk in bis (pocket. He kept the promise to the letter and the day. After tbat spree he made an entry on the flyleaf, agreeing to abstain for one year. This time he did not carry the hook in his pocket; he took it out on the rangro and burled it. , "That crazy Irishman's notion about' getting let oif if he can lay hands on the book don't go for a cent before me now," said Laraway, "but before the year Is up I'll be a crazy Irishman myself." He made no secret of the measures (he took against himself, and when s. me ono offered to keep the book tor hirs in a secret place, said: "It would do no good, if T wanted it when the ap- dr> no good. If I wnted it when the appetite is upon me I'd have It if I had to kill my best friend. ' ��������� The one year pledge proved too hard to keep. Twice since ite making at intervals of six or eight months Laraway lad dug up his bible, canceled his pledge and got dru'nk. To:night we had seen him overcome for the third timo. ^_"S?hy dont some ������f you make a sneak on hie bible and cache lt where le can't find It?" asked the Kid, "Oh, he would kill the man, that touched it, and get drunk just the eame," declared the cook. "Well, I'd like to seo lt tried," persisted the Kid. ��������� 1 . ��������� /1 "Why not do lt yourself?" asked the foreman. "Nobody Ie holding you." "What, me?" said the Kid, in a snaky volco; "I'm only a boy," aud he .went away to bed. iAs the clock struck for midnight the( mcss-houEo door was flung ct-en���������as I thought by a stronger gust of wind,! Turning to l**:ok, I found myself look-1 lug Into tho nozzle of one ot Laraway'a" guns. Ho stood nt tho doorway, with his eyes afire and a gnu In cither hand. "Which one ot you dngs has git my bible?" ho cried, "it's not In the hole,' and I'll give you jtt->t len seconds lo produce lt." "Now, Laraway," snitl thc foreman, In a smooth tone, "you got the drop on us all right I tell you it's God's truth that not a man here knows any- ' thing about your bible. We thought you had dug it up and was half way to town by now." -' It looked as though some one "Was ���������going to get hurt. - Every man in the room wae looking square at Laraway. And to every man lt seemed that the pistols were looking square at himself. The Kid always was cindy���������and freckled. Half an hour before he had slunk off to bed. Now, juet at the rig������t moment, he elunk up behind Laraway, jumped on his back like a cat, put both Ills freckled hands to the man's throat and brought him down. The guns went oif through the roof. Mr. Laraway was tied to the bed that night and many nights after. He had a eevere attack of brain fever, from which he came out as weak as a baby. During his convalescence he never spoke of the bible, and ?ie had an aversion to liquor; During those days a etrong and quiet friendship grew up between Laraway and the Kid. The "old man" wae visiting bis ranches this season, and took a groat interest In'the sick man, told hlrn to go* off somewhere and get well and hearty before trying to work again; _ald his pay would go on exactly as though be were in the caddie. But Laraway said: "I've no place to go that I like half so well as thij old ranch, and no friends so good as these." So he stayed around camp and made hair bridles and cinches, and* read books, and helped tha cook, and did all those* things which a cowboy does only when he is invalided. Among the visitors whom the *V>W man'* entertained at the ranch thab spring was Mitchell, the famous mind* reader. One Sunday .afternoon he volunteered to "* show the boys what be could do: We hid objects all over,the place and'kept bim cbaslag around for an hour.' ' * " ' At last Mitchell*said: "This la all dead easy.for me; it doesn't amuse me.. Ton.all.know wh'ere^these objects axe placed, and the trail Ib hot' to then. I j Now,", be said to the Kid, wh* BjutU been one ot'the most Interested par- . ' tlclpants, "you fix your mind on something whose whereabouts i_> known, only to yourself and which you don't, want me to find." He took tbe Kid's hands and began to wander around the buildings. Twice be circled the corals, then, getting hia bearings, made a bee-line for a small, bowlder-strewn biitte a quarter or., m milt away. By this time he was falrty dragging the reluctant Kid along. The mind reader halted at the Brat -big bowlder and the boys qudekty turned It over. The bed of the rock was a rounded bole some three feet deep, and at the bottom lay a smalt black book���������Laraway'a bible. At sight' of it be, fell, back a step and stood about the whole as ^solemnly as a grave. The Kid was blubbering. "I didn't mean no harm," said he. Laraway bad been in the seconcl rank of those who followed the mind reader np the hill; now he crowded to the front and looked In. * "My bible, by God," he cried, andr jumped Into the hole.

PILORIU OAKS. That's All. A Queen's Thoughts on Love. The Queen of Rotimania's latest literary production is entitled "Whispered Words." The theme sho touches on is love and marriage, and here are a few of her reflections: The moment bhe thought of patience flits through the mind in marriage, Hip ���������marriage has, strictly speaking, ceased to exist, liocauso lovo has vanished, on \ri\idh alone this relationship can be built trp and preserved. For that which we fully.fathom stands not in need of patience; it conies to us toe a thing of course, natural, simple and clear. Unto love every little foible and pc- ' euliarity is dear. Every sacrifice is welcome to love, which never feels it as -such. In presence of the world no doubt it is proper that forbearance Should be ex- ���������erased, and it is meet that the eyes of outsiders should not catch a. glimpse of ���������the misery of an unhappy union. Marriage has but one sole end, to bring children into the world, and to shield tfiem until they can protect themselves. ' ' If we could bring ourselves to look upon marriage as a holy sacrifice, an act ��������� of perfect self-abnegation,'we ehould make much greater progress. In marriage people fancy they can throw off all restraint, heedless of the ���������fact that when they act thus their short- <* coinings assume coloss *tl dimensions, and ���������/-.their-good qualities dwindle -to -notking- ���������lJ '-'ness. . *.-" . ���������- In marriage, more' than in any other . form of relationship, one should nevei ,vthrow the reins aside, but always keep a firm liand upon one's will. ��������� An unseasonable "yawn is sometimes enough to produce a whole draina.** She Had an Aim in Life.

But there are occasions when lii_ lriencllinc-sM is put to severe tests. Orre of these came soon after the Boose- vdt family settled at Sagamore Hill last summer, when -many greartly exaggerated stories of the exploits of the Kooscvelt children found their way into the columns of the daily press. The President decided to put an end to these stories, and one day summoned a correspondent who had been active in supplying his paper with thi. class of news. The President lost no time in stating the object of the summons. "I have noticed, Mr. , ttiuit a greait mamy atones have appeared in the regarding the exploits of my ohil- 'dren.

A eareful perusal of all thc health jour- BaJs and text-books being published*, with i study of lectures given throughout tha monaftry, and a courso of hygienic troat- nent under various popular methods, has resulted in the following eclectic system to preserve your liculth. It is,free for all. Anybody 'with the usual number of; bones, surrounded by the average amount of tissue, and having a nervous systom capable of standing the strain, may en-] joy its benefits. * The bet uty of orrr system is that ltl takes only about ten hours n day. By business men who arc obliged Lo support; whole families, and who nniy have tried other systems, this will bo duly appreciated. You must rise at four o'clock in the morning and take a sea-bath. For this pnrpOMc* 8.1 It watci Hhorrlcl be used, and it should be taken from tlie sea. A pipe can bo laid directly from the nearest ocean right into your bath-tub. lt may coat a few thousands, but think of how much more you would buvo to spend if J'oit consulted a specialist! A cold bath 9 necessary, and if tho water be too warm the tub should bo filled with cracked ice. A short plunga of from fifteen to twenty minutes will be ull that is required at first. This can be in* creased as you grow stronger. Immediately upon emerging from the bath, go over yourself with a large number ten nutmeg-grater. Tin's will improve the circulation and gradually loosen any particles of superfluous tissue. Now, after drinking a gallon of hot water, you are ready for your breakfast, which should consist of two small capsules of nutty nut and one ounce of selected grainy grain and a wine-glassful of prepared cream,' from which the casein, albumen and fats liave been withdrawn. This should be followed by a sun-bath under green, ��������� 'blue and yellow glass, thc actinic rays of the sun being carefully removed. At ten begin your deep-breathing exercise. To doj this successfully you must stand in fron t of a eheval glass. Raise the chest gently but firmly to the ceiling and let it rest there for four or five minutes; then let it fall slowly* but surely to t'he floor. Every window in the room should, oi course, be open, and, if possible, the roof removed. This movement should be lihythmio and accompanied by a piano attachment, or else try a bass-drum, as music helps the muscles to -dilate. If all else fails, try a. brass band. At noon you will begin to feel hungry, but do not let this di-turb you. Hunger is an abnormal condition. You will gradually get over this. For dinner, take a baked apple, from Which the pulp has been removed, and scrape off the inside of the skin. This will afford Uhe mental excitement necessary to harmonize the nervous system with the pneumo-gastric nerve. With this take one grain of nutty, nut. After dinner rest another-hour, and then begin the regular exercise of the day. The ordinary methods of exercise��������� walking, running, riding horse-back, etc. ���������are not in accordance with the latest scientific formulae because they have a tendency to make you forget yourself. This is fatal. Remember that each muscle is &,sponge,.and needs to be contracted and expanded. Learn' the names of all the'muscles of your body and, contract and expand them in alphabetical order, at the same time keeping the full force of'your mind *en rack jnoscl?* Do 'this until supper, which should co__J_st .of a two-grain capsule of nutty nut ancj a pinch of grainy grain. Tlie equipoise'of the mind should not ���������be neglected. Spend your- evenings, 'therefore, in reading the health journals, the whole idea being to think about, yourself as much as possible. By rightly adhering to this system, in a few weeks you .won't know youiself.���������"Judge." WALKED TO 1NJLD MAN Joseph Hamel Suffered Long Before he Used Dodi's Kidney Pills.

The real aristocracies of Europe, such ns the consular families of Koine and thc magnates of Austria-Hungary, hold English pretensions to .Jong descent in supreme contempt, lt is not only true tliey despise the peerages of the Victor- inn age and such growths of the Itcfor- -matioii as tire Cccil-j and the Cavendishes and tho Kussclls, but they even think scorn of our mediaeval glories, and hold Seymours and Howards and Percys to be merely ennobled squires. Thore are, however, some three or four'Englisli families which arc ranked as great even by the exacting requirement, of Rome and Vienna, arrd eminent among these are the Talbots, the Stanleys and the Ne- vills. This reflection gives piquancy to Lord William Ncvill's just-published book on convict life. To number "Warwick t/he King-maker" among his ancestors, to have one's home in the oldest enclosed deer park irr England, to have been oneself the best-looking, best- dressed and most popular young man in London, and then to pas** with pcrfcot equanimity and contentment to drawing a cart on a convict farm and washing medicine bottles in a convict infirmary is, indeed, to have established a social record of unusual interest. In discussing the attempted pil>frimage of the Canadian Douklrobor., who net out through the snow "to find Jesus," tlie London "Spectator" says th.it this is only another instance of lite length to wQiich the credulous Eastern rrrirrd .an be carried. It gives a parallel case of wild belief among the Munits, a race ot squalid savages living in Borneo. One day, a year or two ago, tlmr������ appeared among thorn a Afurut, naked like themselves, and apparently differing in no way from his fellows. Yet in a sli������rt timo lie was able to make Ibe msnrbers of the tribe surrender to liim tlieir wives, their cattle and other possessions simply on the strength of his own declaration od to his powers. ' He asserted that he could rotifer on devout disciples the power of tlyirg. .No 'I.n6 asked him to fly 'himself; it seemed never to occur to thorn. Yet a number of men climbed to the lops of the highest cocoanut-trees in the village, arrd .le������ped_iato_ Mic_air. , , When they -ffcrc .found to be dead, it is only reasonable to ���������Kiiiipodo that tho survivors stltr |ipon the firiso prophet anil killed liim. Not'lrirrg of llyj sort! On the contrary, he explained llral Uro dead men had not been sufficiently devout, and lie found no difiiculty Ui inducing others to follow their example. At itrst, after he had initialed over twenty men into the process of llyirrt; from tire tops of trees to tKo ground, Ire was arrested through foreign nguncy nnd thrown into prison. Hut even then the natives believed in liim to such an cxicnt that they resented any interference in the matter. There is a story of a gcntlen������a.n who. upon visiting Mt. Vernon, came across a Udy kneeling 'before a building quite a distance from the Washington nronu* merit. "Are you in trouble!" he asked ker. "No, eir," sire replred; "tcrank you very much. I am not in trouble, but my patriotic feelings overcome me when I gate ttfftm the tomb of thc 'Father of his Country.'" "I quite understand,'' he araid, kindly; "but, madam, you have made a -mistake. This is not the tomb of Washington; it is over yonder. Thin is the ice-kouse." Quickly ceasing her weeping, the lady rose and. moved nway. There is nothing that that cheery old gentleman, the Pope, enjoys more than huggiiig himself on the fact tliat he is u youth in oil but years. Recently a favorite cardinal wns dining with him, and after the removal of the dessert tire guest drew from his pocket a dissertation on St. Peter, and proceeded to re������d, but stuck fast at' an ill written word. The Pope insisted on iris handing him the manuscript, and deciphered it at once, /smilingly remarking, "You see, my^dear friend, you ought always to carry specs at your age. 1.0 buy a pair. For myself, I rarely need tliom." The cardinal is sixty, tSie^Popc^well over oigkty.

The mass meeting in the Opera House on Sunday evening in the interests of the Lord's Day Alliance wa.s an unqualified success.' A. large and intelligent audience, representative of all classes and denominations, was irr waitirrg when the chair was taken. On the platform were llev. Messrs. Lad- ner, Calder. Mackinnon, the Captain of the Salvation Army, and the united choirs of the Methodist arrd Presbyterian churches. Mr. Humphreys presided at the piano, ilr. Taylor leading the choir'. Uev. W. C. Calder, president of the local Alliance occupied the chair. After the .singing of a hymn, the reading of the 2!th Psalm, arid prayer by Rev. C. l-adner, thc; speaker *.if the evening. Uev. Clarence Mackinnon, T5.I)., of Sydney, X. S., was introduced by the chairman. Mr. McKinnon for the space of half an hour' held the attention of his audience iua very interesting address ou the drums of the Lord's Day Alliance. The speaker based his remarks on the ��������� experience of Xeheiniah in the rebuilt city of Jerusalem where the Sa bin ith had heen desecrated by those who drove their trade oir that. day. "While riot advocating the establishment of Lhe Jewish Sabbath with its absurd restrictions imposed by the -Jewish Habliis which 'Jesus had swept awny, the Sabbath being made for man not man for thc Sabbath, -Mr. Mackinnon claimed tliat tlie'iuiderlyiiig principles held good in regard to the Day'of Host arrd rrrade for national righteousness and national prosperity. It was an effort to preserve the Canadian Day of Rest. Tlie Hev. speaker emphasized tho lad of the attempted inroads on the day by Lhe greed of corporations and the 0rg.mi7.ed excursions for pleasure. The value of the day to lhe working man was eloquently sot forth and the successes which marked the efforts of the Alliance irr checkmating the power!ul influences in our* land lor ils destruction. Mr. .Mackinnon rrrade a strong point in remarking that we had a gieat opportunity while we were laying the foundations of a firre empire to make it good and strong behaving the Lord's Day as one of the good -stones in its louud.-ition. The i.iilure of the United States irr this di- lection, and the warning voice which came to us fiom aeio.-- the border urged upon us the necessity of faithfulness on our part as we had the opportunity now. A very interesting feature of the meet ing was the anthem rendered by Lhe choir. During Lhe taking ol Lhe collection the chair made a lew remarks iir which ho made reference to the kindness on the part of Mr. Tapping, who had given the opera house free arrd had done so much for the comfort of the gathering. Keierence was also made to Lhe kindno.s ol the choir irr aiding so materially to Lite success of the meeting. The highly successful gathering was brought to a close by singing tlie hymn " Nearer My God to Thee," ilev. Mv. Mackinnon pronouncing the benediction. .1,. I .in 1 bli*.-. . (.n. XOTICE.
