Connolly was on the end car of a train which was being backed on the car barge, which lay in the .slip. Ha gave tin* signal to the engineer to stop and Ihen to go ahead as lire car he was on was run on the barge. The engine, however, was light, and became stalled when iljattenipled to go ahead. When the engine stoppe'd il appears that the coupling of tlie end car broke anil the momentum ot the released car was so great that il went over the check block at tho end of the track on the barge and plunged into the water, ciurying Connolly down with il. The car was loaded with bullion from thc Trail smelter and was so heavy that it sank instantly, Con- Inolly going down with it, An Interesting Event. A pietty wedding took place at the home of A7r.

The Bonspiel A meeting of the executive of the Kootenay Curling Association wa.-* held yesterday morning at which the date of the bonspiel was finally set for the week commencing January illh. The committee aie hard at work gelling the programme in shape and the prize list "promises to be more extensive than in former years. The Lardeau-Thistle culling club of Trout Lake has made application for affiliation with the Association which makes thiee additional clubs joining the Association this year, the other t wo being Ashcroft and Golden. 11 i.s also expected that Vernon willaffili.ite prior-��������� to the bonspiel' as step.s 'are already being Liken, in .that diiection. .The number of 'new 'clubs entering the Association is due to the fact of Revelstoke having been chosen as the place for tlie --holding of. tthe bonspiel lhis-sei'i*sou nnd il is^ confidently hoped that "the great winter event ot the Ivootenays will be more largely attended, than evei. In addition to the usual contingent, , of curlers from Southern Ivootenny i who ru-e in the habit of- attending tliis great annual event there will be rinks from Calgary, Banif and 'Golden in the e.-ist���������Tro'ut Lake*in" the" Lardeau. and,from-Vernon, Ashcroft and".-Vancouver in the" west. ��������� With a kind" Providence the .bonspiel this year should eclipse all previous efforts.

The unfortunate man ^wrus walking along the track the same way the train was moving. The engineer caught sight of him ju-l as a sharp ' curve wits roundt-iiaiidwliistledto give him warning to* got- off the track. Finally he nut on tin* air ht.ikes in the hope of stopping the train, .but this was done too late. The cowcatcher ���������struck the man and tlm-w him with great violence tw enty feel down an embankment. When he was picked up it was found that both logs wen* broken at the ankle aud that his shoulder was fractured. It. wus - discovered that he was a deaf mute anil this accounts for his failure to heeil the warning toots of the whistle of the locomotive. The injured man was taken to Cranlirook where he was put under the care of Dr. King.

Sometimes thia proved a convenient arrangement; more often, * however, it waa not, for the village people soon learned tliat it was only too easy to impose upon the kind-hearted, gentle old doctor. They loved him, of course���������thoy could not help doing that��������� but apparently the village conscience slept when It enrao to settling with the easy-going -physician. There were those who said thnt the reason hc submitted so tamely to being underpaid was bt*i:ui-e he feared lo risk making'his patient- ill again by demanding larger fees. Tiv truth of the matter was, however, that the overmodest doetor undervalued liis own worth. "But, James," Mrs. Bronson would remonstrate, "it's ai! very well to tako it out in potatoes, Lot you know just as well as I do that Timothy Peek always ���������ells his best potatoes, and brings us only the little undersized ones that nobody would think r.f buying. Those last ones weren't bigger than marbles. You must stand "up for your rights." But the doctor, apparently unmoved .by these protests, continued to accept hii patients' excuses along with then ���������>' offerings of wormy apples, wood that was full of knots, eggs tha t were more than doubtful, and milk that wirs guiltless of cream. The Bronsons were ever Bhort of ready money, but nil their other wants wer^, in a measure, supplied, if not always to Mrs. Bronson's satisfaction. "I really, need a new horse," said thc doctor one morning, as he stepped into his shabby buggy to make his usual round of visits. "The colt is pretty siire to give out before the summer is over." The "colt," which was a colt only by ���������courtesy, being twenty-two years of age . and old for his years, certainly looked aa if he might give out at any moment. _He limped slightly, he was blind in one -eye, and something was wrong with his breathing apparatus. His owner drove bim with the utmost tenderness, but it was plain that the doctor needed a new horse, and that without delay. "Here's a letter for you, father!" called Cicely, the Bronson3' only daughter, as the doctor turned in at the gate that noon. "I'll put it at your place at the table, so you can read it while you are ���������rating the beans th.rt Airs. Binkc'brought you for setting'Johnny's.leg." "JNow really," said the doctor, when he had read *.'the letter, "this is very fortrr- "i nate. I've' tried all the spring not to wish that Sam'.Peters would fall ill, but It's been n. great temptation, for Sam is the only person I could think of that ������\ouId be likely lo pay his bill with a horse.

You deserve a doxen iVrrses ,1: '.���������reek for all the beautiful, unselfish' | 'Jthings you do." The doctor smiled gratefully at this:' tribute. For all tire years of his married! j -life he had cherished a mild ambition tn'1 -!ho to me he said he could get a good pries for this one if he could only bring it to the right market. He said in his note that his wife wbb anxiou9 to get home to her own people, and that he didn't see his way clear to selling the horse. No- one in Cloverly seemed to care to buy: the animal." "I'm not surprised," said Airs. Bronson. "His looks are decidedly against him." "Still," said Cicely, whose darkest cloud, always had its silver lining, "lie is much better than a lion, or a hyena. Suppose that this acrobat nnd his wife had been obliged to take their pay in monkeys or giraifes or boa-constrictors! "Where would the poor Bronsons have been then? I think we've had a fortunate escape." _ The horse, except -for a few peculiarities, proved an excellent animal. He was gentle and tractable, a good traveler, and; Ire seemed to be possessed of more than; ordinary intelligence. Thc townspeople soon became accustomed to the gorgeous* ness of his exterior, and the Bronsons would have forgotten that ho had once' been a circus horse had it* not been Joy' a certain singular trick which he frequently played. '*-* If his driver happened to twitch the reins in a certain way, the horse, whose name waa Aladdin, would suddenly stop short wherever he happened to be, nrj regardless of both harness and consequences, would seat himself on his haunches, with his forefeet still resting on the ground. Nothing that the doctor could say or di would induce his calico steed to rise. Aladdin would turn his head and look pleadingly at his master, as if imploring him for permission to stand on all fours; but the bewildered doetor was powerless to help him. ��������� At last, when the horse could no linger endure his cramped and uncomfortable attitude, he would cast a final reproachful glance at his puzzled master, and, as if abandoning all hope from that quarter, would scramble to Iris feet and proceed on his way like any ordinary horse. The doctor was finally obliged to use a patent harness without breeching. Aladdin's only other reprehensible trait was his custom of dancing to the music of the Cloverly band. Whenever the doctor's business took him to Cloverly, ire found it expedient, after his first experience with Aladdin's waltzing hoofs, to enquire by telephone if there was any likelihood that the band might appear upon the streets that day. If, by any chance, it happened to be a gala day, the doctor would turn Aladdin out to grass, and would drive the ancient colt; for a summer of idleness had much improved that iuisnrr;ncd animal. County fair week was approaching, and as usual the Bronsons were short ol* ready money. Cicely, with her elbows 011 the table, spent several" evenings over calculations in domestic economy, for lier autumn wardrobe was in need of replenishing. She had little time for embroidery, and the only thing she had ever painted was, as she said laughingly, the front fence. ' . , "No," she said, "I'm afraid this fnmily doesn't boast a single exhibitable possession, unless���������' Father!" "What, is it?" asked the doctor, looking up hastily from This book. JjJ-\ .:������������������;' "Could'; you..-', possibly get along'with 'nothing but the colt" to drive all next week?" *:.���������,*: ' "I suspect .1 shall have to," returned the doctor.* "All. the brass-bands: in the county are coming:for the fair. Aladdin dances pretty well'.'for a "horse, but it's hard on the buggy."^-;.;^,.;;:,-;^;:^.., - "Then," said OicelyV'giving her father's hand an .enthusiastic .squeeze, .-'"if'-you' JliIllLIJi}S4.,'!^Jii_exb-I*it hinl -lt the fair as a carriage;horse. They offer beautiful prizes in the.Jiorse-.department. I'm sure thore isn't a-more noticeable horse in the,.! country, so there's 110 danger of his j being overlooked." '���������*.��������� Aladdin did indeed attract much attention at the fair. To be sure, the. judges were,rather inclined at first to scofT-il ,him; because of his gaudy exterior; but; partly because there was very little competition, and partly because he possessed certain fine pgints not appreciated by the careless observer, he was finally awarded a second prize.

Before the week whs over, however, even Mrs. Bronson was willing to admit that the family-contained two. The three. Bronsons spent Friday afternoon at the fair, going first of all to visit their successful exhibit. Even with hi3 scarlet ribbon, Aladdin looked far from beautiful; but Cicely felt the crisp pink pre-, ruium cheque in her;, pocket, and swelled J with pride. "Is this your horse?" asked a man, stepping up and touching his cap respectfully. IN YE OL ;-" DEN TIMES. the family rode home behind the rejuvenated colt, "I don't know but what Aladdin more than makes up for all those undersized potatoes." At this handsome admission the doctor fairly beamed over 1:is spectacles. Indeed, so pleased was ho .with his one good bargain tliat from that moment he felt a positive pang when the time came for him to part with that bargain, even though lie received in exchange his first adequate fee.���������"Youth's Companion." ������, t. ,.1. 1 1 11 ��������������������������� "Yes," said Cicelv, who waa for t.'rc ow_lIrA3rj3nJion.J-hatJigwa,*v,re^ ..��������� ., . ; , ., *, -. - 7 moment tuonc.

United States Senator Ve?t once paid this eloquent tribute to a dog in a suit brought against a farmer who shot his neighbor's faithful be.nt in malice: "The one absolutely unselfr-h friend that mnvr can have in this selfish world, tbe one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man's dog stands hy hrir in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry wind* blow and thc snow drives fiercely, if onlv he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food tf- offer; he will lick the wounds and sore- that cortre in encounte.r with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if lie were a prince. When all other friends desert h< remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces he is as constant in his love as tlre'snh in its journeys through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last 3cene of all comes, and death takes the master in Its. embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground,.no matter if nil other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside wil] the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in ale.rt watchfulness, faithful and true, even in death." On the strength of this speech, it is snifl, the jury was so moved that it awarded the plaintiff a verdict of five hundred dollars. "Do you think, your .sister likes to have me come here, Jarriey ?"

The thing is French! One of the negroes at the Nouveau Cirque,, interviewed by a Paris papgr, says that the origin of tho dance was French. According to this latest account, some of the French refugees from the court of Alarie Antoinette introduced thc minuet into New Orleans about the time of the Revolution, and it was the native imitation of the most fashionable dance in Europe that was afterward developed into the cake walk. The Declaration of Independence is to be seen no more l>y thc public, an order having been issued that henceforth the historic manuscript shall-be kept under lock and key in a great fire and light- proof safe. This decision has been reached as the result of an examination of the document by a committee of the American Academy of .Sciences,' recently in session in New York, wiio acted at the instance of Secretary Buy, whoso attention had been called to tire sad state of the famous document. -Alost of the text of the Declaration is Mlill legible, but only one or two of the signatures can be made out.

A delightful literary find must bo credited to the. authority, of a recent book, "Sidelights on Charles Lamb." Dirring ono day with a friend and. being pressed to take some rhubarb pie, Lamb declined because it was physic. ''That niay be," said his host, "but it is pleasant and innocent." "So is a daisy," rejoined Lamb, "but I don't therefore like, daisy pie." "Daisy piel Who ever heard of daisy pies?" said someone at the table. "Aly ���������authority is Shakespeare," Lamb replied. "He expressly mentions daisies pied." The phrase occurs in tire song ot the end of "Love's Labor's I/ost." Andrew Lang tells this story illustrating the rigorous and ascetic life of the Scots. "It seems that a laird, in the year 1705, set out to join the Pretender, taking with him his son, a youth of sixteen or so. One night this laird and his little troop were compelled to .sleep in the open, though it was snowing,* and snow- lay deep upon the ground.

Xt waa a strange bridal week. -Uimoot treated his young wife gently, considerately, but in his own heart lie oried oat: "This marriage was a great mistake!" Tiie young heir of Ulvesford Mines told Himself he was wretchedly un- - happy, yet all of his future years must pay the price of one moment's impulsiveness. There was >no one tcblame but himself. JH'e fully resolved, howevor.thut Izetta-s-Jiould-not suffer-for-it unite sure slie Haw him gtizinjr Ions arrd earnestly nt a lock of golden hair, which he replaced wilh the letters in hi.s hrenst- packet. Then, for the first time during the short week of her nrirririge, she addressed him involuntarily: "Do you like ij&Iderr hriir very much, 'Alderic.?" sire asked, wistfully. For a brief instant Ulmont quite forgot it wus liis dark- haired wifo wiho asked tho iiuesiion, as he answered, enthusiastically.- "ft is the most glorious of all tho crowns of womanhood." Ulmont" never dreamed that Tzettn was wondering' why God made her own curls so dark, with a deep pain in her heart, whilo her hand-sraio young* husband admired fair, shining hair. "I will elbow you, Izetta," he said, "how gloriously shimmering golden hair can crown a licnuiil'ul face." As he spoke hu drew from his pocket a pearl case, half hidden in its bed 'of purple. Tzotta silently took the picture from his hand. "I warn you not to be enraptured," he lnughed. "I am the artist, 90 you see it is by ho means what it should have been; the subject, though, is .worthy of the prandest masters." Izetta -gazed tong and earnestly at the picture, drinking in every detail ot that equisitely perfect face. A strange, numb feeling stole over her. She was to remember it all with rivid distinctness in after {years. The picture was certainly a strange one���������half reality, half ideal. A graceful, tall, white lily was represented on the polished irory, quite in the centre of a vase of rare exotics, while upon Its snowly petal was tha rarest face Izetta had over gazed upon. -~y 1 v V face pore sod spiritual, yet blended with the eoldest pride, from the perfect, arched browa to the delicate curves of tbe smiling, sensi-tiva mouth, so HIce a cleft, deep crimson rose-leaf. . . The eyes were a large, deep, expressive blue, the face was perfect in contour and dainty coloring, crowned in * halo of goldeu bair, long and surfing, which mingled with tho lily's golden calyx." Beneath was written in fanciful design, "My love." Izetta scarcely knew how long she fazed at It. Dlmont interrupted her. "Tou are pleased with rny fancy?" te said, gently. "This Is your Meal of lore, Alderic,,M : lhe said, softly; "it is very beautiful, fet is only ������ picture from your imagination, fs it not, Alderic?" The flush deepened on Ulmont's face is he answered, evasively: VI hare seen such a picture^.it was we of a few choice ones in a private roi lection. I painted it .quite from memory." "It must" hnve impressed* yon itrongly, Alderic." "So it did," he replied, carelessly snough'. How little sfie kn������w every Hnrnment *f .that beantiiul face, of which Le al! others, was the one best fitted to break the news of her soli's marriage to the stern, cold woman, who never forgot nor forgave an injury. If she would pardon him and receive Izetta as his wife Ulmont had decided to return at once; tbat was tho message he sent her, which the strange workings of fate destined she should never receive. . 1 , It happened in this wiset ' ' UJmoat had desired the rector to let him know at once the result of thla interview, directing his communication to a (-mail station at the orossroad, which they should read late in the week. It favorable, he could take Izetta direct to Boston; if not, he could take her for the present to his old nurse at Silvernook, who would receive her .with open nrm/r for bis sake. He hoped when Iris haughty mother saw remonstrance wns useless -and regrets in vain the principal difficulty .would be removed. "When they reached tho station nt the crossroads, Ulmont received a note .which quite unmanned him. A letter, dated two days previous, hastily written, a waited him, which .was as follows: "Boston, Thursday morning ��������� My Dear Boy:��������� If you would see your mother alive hasten home at once or you may bo too late. I found her in so feeble a condition, fearing the slightest shock inigfrt prove fatal, I dared" not broach tho subject of your marriage. TLotive your -wife there until the crisis is past. I will bo at each train to meet you. Your faithful friend, "Paul Illingsworlh." (Again Ulmont made the mistake of his Life by not confiding fully and unreservedly in his young wife. . 1 In ten minutes the train started for Silvernook; five minutes later he could catch the express direct to Boston. He had not a minute to lose. He hurriedly explained to Izetta, as he thought, all that was necessary for her to know at present. His mother lay ill, perhaps dyr"n.g;.he must go to her at once, whilo she must go on alone to Silvernook, which was fortunately but an hour's ride. He would give her a note to his old nurse, whom she could readily find, who would receive her kindly until he came for her, which would certainly. be within the following, week. Ulmont hastily tore a leaf from his memorandum, wrote a short' note which he addressed and placed in her hand, together with the little package containing the money her grandfather had left her, and two hundred dollars which he happened to have by bim. It was all so sudden. Izetta struggled hard to bravely bear the separation from the husband whom she so madly worshipped. The next moment found her alone on the train. Ulmont watched long and earnestly till she was quite out of sight, the sweet, tear-stained. face pressed close against the window-pane. His heart gave a great throb. "Was it possible," he asked* himself, -'he was. learning to love-his young wife after all?'" Izetta's face haunted him during all Df his journey home; he quite wished ihe was by his side' again. How little Ulmont UiTe������������ortl dreamed under what pitiful cironststancep be should look upon her face again. CHtATPTJER-V. In the midst of a - gr<-������o nnd grassy lawn, thickly studded here and there.' ivith towering elms and stately beech' treea. stood a gray- stone structure,' la If hidden from the main road by One tHj-ght, sunlit morning, toward the ctose of that eventful week; *, Ulmont asKed Izetta if she would like to taice a* ramble by the seashoro; tho .sun was 'lighting the water,* with a thousand arrowy sparkles.and the air was rigorous and exhilarating, nnd laden .with .the aroma oi the distant . spice- groves and myriads of blossoms over .wniah It had lately lingered. Izetta looked up into his i������ce with jjlad, sdiining eyes. "I should be so pleased to go, Mr. Ross," she said. How she longed to call him husband, but Ulmont's proud, haughty face In- ^fritod.little familiurity. ���������"��������� He had grown quite used to the title; indeed, it had never struck him as Strange his beautiful young wife Should call him Mr. Boss. 1 .Woman- Like, Izetta bad donned her prettiest robes, of which he had purchased her quite a supply, to please ham. Ulmont had been simply surprised* at the great difference dress could make in her. In her plain dark dress and crimson cloak he had thought of ber as a child, yet he was forced to admit she jvas a beautiful young girl in the eoft, dark pluab traveling- dross she wore, wlucdi fitted her ho perfectly; yet, after the first .surprise, he quite forgot to notice lier '���������'appoarauco' at nil. For quite nn hour they promenaded tho beach in utter silence; those wiho passed tlrem wondurud why lho young man's -face was turned so per- tj-iterrlly awny from tlio beautiful, for- '���������'cign face' that .was raised so wistfully toward his -own; they woirdcred why he looked far out over thu sea and sighed. 'Izetta never nt templed to con- vurso with him, luring only *io content to answer his questions if ho chanced to iidrlrei-iH hor. She often rut him tako from his pocket a pricket of letters, tied by a dainty, p,ilc-bluo riblrni; fomu til tlnvm were old nnd worn, aa if by marry perusals, and onco abo wns ralne Lorrlmer wa3 tho original, .was stamped indelibly on his "heart. The great wonder was, how was he ever to learn to forget her?' Izetta's hand trembled as she handed the portrait back to her liu-sband. Was it fate tbat caused the handsome case to drop from her nervous fingers upon the sharp urags -at her feet? She uttered a -startied cry. There was but 11'tie damage done; the face was uninjured, only a por- tioa-cf one of the cornoru was broken off, which fell into -her hand as she stooped to recover if." Izetta could not just then account for the sudden impulse tl-^t led her to preserve that little jagged edge of pearl so carefully; perhaps because ft had belonged to toinetbijg her husband had prized; it had lain in her hands; his eyes had gazed upon it. Ulmont was quite amused at the grieved face turned toward him. _^*I_ hppe_you. _wilL Corigive-me,- Al- deriol" she said; "X have sporled your beautiful portrait, your pretty love." How little Izetta realized the vital truth of her words. Ahl she had spoiled his love, and his life; yet he laughed gayly at her sorrow. Of "course ho was sorry, too, but mistakes would happen; there was no help for them. Ulmont laughed as he noted how u few pleasant words had brought back tho sunshine to her eyes. She came np closer lo him and laid her hand timidly on his arm. ���������:������������������'. "Do you think, Alderic," she asked, eimply as a child might have done, "your ideal of love is prettier than I? You had not seen me then." The very caudor of the question amazed him. Looking .down into those starry eyes, he, so chivalrous to all women, how could he help telling her evasively that her face, above all others, was the most beautiful io the world? As he loobed down upon her he wondered if, after nil,, there was ever any possibility of his becoming really interested in In*3 fair young wt'e,. Ki that moment a sudden inipu'.-re seized Jrim to throw the pc..*crait far out into the sea and the 'letterd after it. What right had he, now that he ivas bound to another, lo drenin of the fair face of Lor.ir'ne Lorrlmer. or to .gaze ru������fu,'iy upon the'pictured face? Had U.'munt, for. once in' his li'e, oboyed the sudden impulso that sprang frim his heart, the . greatest tragedy of liis Lite would have been spared liim. The grand old'harao and honor of Ulvosford, which Lhe young heir would havo shielded with hi*** ITCe, would never have been dragged through -the rmlro of dishonor, and this story would aovor have been written. I Then a strange ovens happened. .When Ulmont had parted from the rector he hnd asked, 'ns a special fav- or.^lh.-iL the Itev. lllirijj.iwoi'lh should, upon his arrival nt Iloiton, call iinnie- atoly on his mother. .. Ulmont kDcw that tha rector, above creeping vines and intervening shrubbery; ite jnoss-igrown turrets and gabled roof towering toward the sunshine��������� this was Lorrlmer Place, one of the finest old mansions to be found in the suburbs of Boston. The spacious grounds, which surrounded it were a model of artistic beauty, from the miniature lakes on which the graceful white- necked swans glided to and fro, to the marble statuary half hidden by the rare, dense foliage, and rose- covered arbors which extended to the thickly- wooded glen which lay beyond. At one of the windows, from which the heavy, amber satin curtains were looped back, stood Loraine Lorrimcr, the heiress. The golden sunshine never lingered npon a fairer picture than she made in her. morning dress of creamy lace, which fell in graceful fold's about her perfect figure; she looked what she was���������a queenly young girl, one born to command. There were pride, poetry and passion blended in each_ glance_of_.her__blue, fla"shihg~e.yes,' her lace in its haughty, charming repose, was simply a perfect oae, from which her long golden hair was pushed carelessly, back, a spray of white heath in its golden waves, fastened with a diamond arrow., tA magnificent solitaire gleamed upon her finger, on which her eyes often rested. // 'At last sho turned from the window, with a light shade of disappointment on her face. "I had quite expected a letter from Ulmont," sho said, meditatively. "I am surprised at not having some kind of a message from him.*'*--- Her mother, who reclined on an adjacent divan, closed the book she held in her lap with a smile its she replied: "Ulmont may count himself lucky if he reaches here by to-morrow. You must not , forget, my dear Loraine, how very uncertain the arrival of these steamers are nowadays. Young people are always impatient. I never saw a young, expectant bride, without thinking of the day before my own wedding." "Did you leel a strange, happy restlessness that y<m could scarcely explain, mamma?" asked Loraine, blushing rosily, seating herself on a low hassock at her feet. . "Yes, and I was much like you,.never quite satisfied unless I was at the window, watching for the coming of my lover." The rose bloom deepened on Loraine Lorrimer's flower- like face. "You are mistaken, there, mamma," sho said. "I do -not expect him until the eventful to-morrow." 'As she spoke, she thought of the closing sentence of the last letter she had received from liim; he had written: "I shail be at horrimcr JPInce by thc 15th inst., positively, to claim for my bride the sweetest, fairest girl in all the wide, wide world. My sweet Loraine, time nor tide could e'er withhold me." - The snpcrfc troasseaa a princeqj might hnve been proud of, had .-rrriv- ud the day ibetoiv;-tli������n l.orninu had done a foolish tlrinr?; shu had array- od hnrself in the shimmering gossamer robes to note tire ef.uul; even clasped the pearls around her perfect neck and arms, und lastcmd the veil to her golden heir, smiling proudly'the while, as she thought iron- phased her haud- eo-me young lover would be with her. As Loraine stood thero an evont happened, which, though trifling in itself, caused.her a strange sensation. She had gone to her jewel-case to consult her watch. "How strange," she said to herself, ns she took it in her hand. "It has stopped!" It wanted twenty minutes to eight. Loraine gathered up her bridal- robr\s ubout. her, stepping out into tho corridor, to whore the iruga old clock ticked away the hours;, hur heart almost ceased to beat���������tire pendulum stood still, watch and clock, as if by common consent, hnd stopped on the selfsame moment��������� twenty minutes to eight. Loraine hastily re-entered1 her boudoir; she was not superstitious, yet she could not help but remember the story she bad otten heard, how that same old clock hail stopped on the eve preceding some great, sorrowful family event. Still she did not liko to remember old traditions on the eve before her wedding- day, Pretty young briduemaids had taken full possession oC thc hall. "Everything should be in" perfect readiness on the morrow," thoy said. The bride'eake Had arrived, and was really a work of art hi its way. Merry peaisc of laughter filled the corridors and spacious rooms, ns nimble fingers fashiuned the great pillars of rotes. "One wedding makes many." More than ono maiden secretly hoped that some faint-hearted lover would take courage, under- the mystic influence of the occasion, and who knew but their own wedding- night might be the next to follow. Full many a happy thought was twined anion? those roses,those sweet, fragrant roses, tbat could keep their own secrets. Mrs. Lorrimcr gazed upon her dau7hter with all a mother's fond pride. "You are peerlessly beautiful, Loraine," she said, caressiny the young girls bright, golden hair. "You might have married a- duke or prirnce, .yet you havo chosen lovo. You hiive- weallh, beauty and love; truly your. lines have fallen in .pleasant places." She kissed her dauyhtor's upturned face and left the room, leaving Loraine alone .with her own happy reflections. At that moment KTaty, the maid, appeared at the door.- "If you* please, Miss Loraine," she aaid, "there* Ls a person down stairs who insists upon seeinj you, although I told him .you gave orders that no stranger should be admitted!" "Did he give you no card, or state his business?" asked Ixjraine, sur- prisedly. "Card! oh, no," answered the maid, .vith a slight grimace.... "He is down ..n the servants' hall and refuses to give his name." "That's strange," murmured the neiress, reflec-tirfly, dr'nking perhaps ,t was some poor tenant., or a former recipient or her p-iiTims "bounty; for Loraine was as capricious and gennr- >us as she was haughty and beauti- Tul.

Timbers dropped from a piocedin:-; freight, were the cause of the accident, and the terrible calamity list was mostly owing to the steam that lilled the lirsl. passenger car and literally cooked lire unfortunate occupants, many of whom run screaming into the nearby woods. When General Manager Sims, of the l.rilltinoi-i* iV Ohio Railway arrived at. the scene of the wreck of the IJuqticsiic Fiver at. Dawson that, night, in which 02 persons wore killed, he was so overcome that he cried. Tire spectators were compelled to turn away from the sights. When the relief train reached here' thousands of people were at tiro station. A large number of Connelsville people hail gone to-Pittsburg for Christmas shopping and were expected home on the Limited. Kvery available cab and carriage had been held in waiting to convey lhe injured to I he hospitals. Citizens formed a relief corps and helped (���> remove' the wounded fr-oiii the train. In addition lo those who have died si nee. being taken from the wreck, inn nv others are certain lo Ire added to the number of victims. All have inhaled the steam and ace siilVering intensely. I.onis Hilgol, the conductor of the train, was in the second day conch when the crash ciime. and no one knows just how or what happened tii him. I.). W.

Pointing to half a dozen heavy timbers under the dining coach, he said: ���There is the cause of it. An extra -freight west bound,.'has dropped'those' timbers on the track and proceeded unconscious oft lie trouble it had left behind." ....Never were more terribla scenes to be'witnessed than those aborrt the wreck. The steam front the car's filled the air. Many of the stricken people 1 climbing out of the \\ inflow-', 'tan wild in the bushes' with howls suid screams 'nf delirium. Others were caught in tlieir wanderings and cared for. One j man. after rushing into the woods. came back again, went into the baggage car of the relief train and sitting down, said: ".My God." the next instant he-dropped over dead. There was not a scar upon him. He had inhaled the steam.

There is a souietvh-.it widespread im- H-ession that tho use o������ so lmiuir. wire ir 't-ulophona and ether electrical pur- . fDses, ia cities and towns, largely inti cases tha danger of lishtnini; P.-olies. Tho notion is bused upon tho Mmcensratiou within certain limits o������ l great quantity of conducting mineral, v.'liich, it is assumed, attracts tho electricity and thereby increases iho langer ������roiu it. Whilo it is true 'that the increase of ionducting nrateriai increases the at- .Taction, it la not true that it increases :ho danger. As a matter or fact, it iecreases the danger, for the moro iurfa.ee electricity has over which to spread, the more readily and quietly It is carried to the earth. A houso tvith a metal roof is not often struck by lightning, for while the metal may attract the electricity, it also gives ft room to spread out, and its force ia thus dissipated. The fact was demonstrated by Franklin with his kite long ago, and lightning rods are put ou buildinj.a to give storm clouds a means of discharging their electricity into tho earth. This discharge takes place without the report that we call thunder, for eleciricity makes no noise unless it meets some resisting medium. It is a well known fact ihat thero Is less danger from lightning in cities dian in the country, and this is due ta the general use of iron, steel and other metals In city buildings. The buildings are tall and would;seem, therefore, to be specially attractive to tho liifhtning; indeed they are often struck, but the metal in them dissipates the .force of the tltiid and carries lt harmelssly aud quietly to the earth. The effect of telephone wires upon atmospheric electricity has been under official investigation by the German department of telegraphs, aud statistics from 900 cities show that the danger from, lightning strokes is tour times as great in towns that do not have -the telephone as in these that have it The conclusion of the whole matter, therefore, fs that an abundance of wires gives protection from lightning, instead of increasing Lhe danger.���������Philadelphia Presa.-- V*^_���������-���������... ;'-." ���������'-���������..���������*..

Ormande had been nearly crushed to earth by the events that followed one another so quickly. Try as Ire would now, he could not unravel the mystery. Waa it true that Katha Hue's eyes had spoken a lie that afternoon in the library, when they had met hi.s a.nd answered turn, as well as though her tongue had uttered the words, tlrat she loved him wilh all her soul? Was that deep, soul- giving look an acted lie? And if so, why?��������� lo whal fend? Why should the girl have troubled to coquette' with him?. Whal - end could she gain?

Miss Mcwtyn, fn most ef festive dishabille, was full of the shameful affair of the night before. ..<���������.-:' "Oh! Lord Otway, what am I to do?

Kal lrariue, lire one ana only being whom he had ever allowed to creep into lus heart and be enthroned there. Katharine, whoso image had been blended in those sweet, lost dreams of ir future, when his saint and. its angel should also he his wife. Wus not the cup of sor row too Wtiter? - No wonder a blight and a shadow had fallen on the handsome, frank young face. The prospect had been very hard to bear when she had ^told liim his love was hopeless, but its weight was as nothing compared to irow. Then, allhou.gh hope was debarred him, be had iind the glorious, lire ever sweet Knowledge that he loved and waa beloved. A week had gone since ihat day- only ci week, lo Ormande it seemed one long, weary year. He had prayed so hard for' comfort, for light in his darkness, for peace of mind and resignation. He had prayed for forgiveness, tix>, for irr hi.s humility he said, ''I put her before Heaven, and 1 have ninneil -most terribly 1" but r lunigh his prayers soothed they could not bring rorgettulne-ss, ond as lie walked away from hi.s aunt's carriage through the dusij, hot, August scorched streets, "nis heart was crying out tor hi.s love ���������not for lire Katharine, as he knew her now, but for hi.s pure, lovely- faced Kalharine, who had seemed to hiin to be. the earthly embodiment of one of those sweet, grave, good spirits sent some- liuie-s by a beneficent I'a'ovidence to strengthen und purify man for this earthly existence. 'Anl ihn, suddenly, his thoughts changed, and with a shiver he remembered her in her lone estate, and a. great flood of emotion broke loose in his heart. He had not permitted hiutsc-lf hitherto to dwell much on Katharine, wliere Bhe was, what she was doing, or aught appertaining to her, nnd it seemed io him all at once, as if he had bsen too selfish. "I should have trodden down my own feelings, crushed rny own pain. What is my broken heart to her soul's danger? Yes. yes, I have, been wrong; I see it all plainly now. I must;, seek her* out, I must find them, nnd by every means in my power 1 mast try to rrw-aken the dormant good that lies hidden in her heart. I have, neglected my Muster's duty; henceforth I will forget my own sorrow, forget: myself to think of her ond of her salvation ! I will commence my task this very day, this very hour!" iAnd such is the strange destiny that bangs about we dwellers on this globB. While Ormande was determining this ���������having no clue to the whereabouts of the woman he meant (o succor, imagining her to be, per- hapa by now, miles away oai 'the brood ocean ���������he was erven then going toward hor; in a few more momenta they would meet 1 'OH'APXEn XXIV. Lord Otway was bound, as be had told his aunt on a jte-w hours' hard work in soma of the dingiest slums in this rich, bustling, prosperous London. It wusnot, as ho had said, exactly a neighborhood in which to tako Lady Blanche, or, indeed, any refined, highly cultured woman, but he did not shrink from it. He knew every place so well, and the welcome he received, if expressed in blunt nnd somewhat uncouth language," Was none tho less pleasant to him for that. _ > Here, situated in t he very heart of poverty nnd wretchedness,- was a home for nursing sisters; a fluid, unpretentious place, with no pomp or outward fuss connected with it, but which, for all that, was ono of the busiest and best conducted establishments it was possible to find. Lord Otway knew it well. He had had much help nnd sympathy from these good womr-n in his work; he. knew, their value, and he set a hi.gb store. upon it. Their charity was worth more than fifty such model v' 11aires and patronesses as Brexley and Barbara Mostyn any dny, he snid to himself. On -, this rtfternoon, when he had conquered the excitement aird emotion that followed on hs sudden determination, Ormande plunged into his work. There w-ns a great deal of sickness ���������fever ond other ailments ���������and ir was not long before ba. found he mus;! have, a coadjutor. "If Sister Dora Ls not engaged she will do lr," he, snid to himself, confidently, nnd he turned his footsteps to the home above mentioned. The ma' ron received him cordhlly. "Please sit down, Lord Otway," she snid, with a smile; "Sister Dora is just at this moment engaged with a lady. You look quite worn out with JJia^eat.==..i3feu^mj^_^J^t-jme_Kivei you a cup of tea; yes, f insist.*' The matron had observed chnngn irr Lord Otway's face it had puzzled and distressed very much.

"1 will ask her to come in here. .Shall 1 tell ���������her you wish it, Lord Otway J" Ue stretched out <i hand. "So; do not mention my name. Only let her colne I" lho matron withdrew, and Ormande sukkI with orre hand cleno^vinp tho chair beside him. in that riu- ment he had conquered -himself and his own weakness; he had silenced the longing Ihat filled hi.s heart; he had nothing but his duty before him ��������� was no longer an earthly man wiih earthly,desires; nothing but the servant of hi.s God. His back was turned to the door, and as il opened, aud a soft fool step sounded on the bin ided floor, a slight, only a slight shiver went through him, then his face grew: cold and stern once more. i "The. matron tells mo you wish to epeak to me," Katharine said hurriedly; and then, wjf.h a low cry, sho shrank back with outstretched arms against the. wall, while an agonized murmur brake from her lips of "You 1 You 1" There was a world of unconquerable misery in those two small words, misery that was greater than sho could bear. Ormande shivered again at what he thought was her attitude of shame nnd disgrace. He was silent a moment, and then he spoike: "Yes, it is 1. 1 thank Heaven that ive have baen permitted io meet in this strange way. I have bsen trying to find nn easy method of bringing us face to^ face and here it comes, unsought, unasked." He lifted his cold hand from the chairback. "Will you not sit down?" he went on, In his grave, stern, measured tones.thnt si ruck so cruelly on her sensitive ear. "I wish to speak to you, if you can spare me a moment." Katharine unloosened tbe lace around her throat: she was even paler and thinner t-han when he had seen her last. There wore marks of deep anguish on her lovely face. "Remorse has rollowed; she ca-n- not be wholly lost wliile conscience (still lives," was ormande's hurried thought. He came a step nearer.and brought a chair forward, but Katharine shook her head. "I prefer to hear what you have to say to me standing," was her answer, in a voice that was weary and full of bitter pain. Ormande paused a moment, then moistening his lips, be moved up to ber, and came to a standstill just before her. : ��������� i ��������� His heart was beating madly, wildly. The task he nad set himself was greater than he had supposed, but his couraga did oot rail, nor his purpose falter. . :, "Katharine," be sar'd, solemnly, but with his deep love dwelling ,. in every tone; "what have you done? My poor girl! My poor girl!" A sob rose to ner tipsj but she choked it back. Now the fulness or Gordon's; revenge rovse to conrront her in ali its liideousness. She was dishonored in Ormande's eyes: sue stood there seeming to him a snamerut thing, who had wantonly nna���������wilCully- rushed into the path or sin. .She, Katharine Brereton, the proud, pure spirit whose record was as wbite, as blameless, as an angel's! Two or three words would set nil tin's right, only two or three wor<is, and yet she must not��������� she dare not��������� utter them. A shudder ran tcrough her at the fiendish cruelty tnat had planned this torture. From Barbara' Mostyn's insults she lln/t never w'n-ed. She knew the girt to t>j her greatest enemy, and therefore sbe exnected nothing kin-d and sympathetic,though even Gordon would nave heen startl- could he bave heard tne avalanche of abuse hurled at nts wife's head hy his confederate. Sfc nad instructed ���������Barbara to dismiss the. girl, to hint at a flirtation witli j*er guest, and to boldly tackle her on the question of any understanding ftetween Katharine and himse-U. nut he did no: tell ���������Miss Mostyn to-intutge her jealous hatred and anger ������> far as to fcebave like a thorough virago and a fish fair. Barbara's insults had fallen off Katharine's proud contemptuous mind, but Ormande's pity, his gravity, his sorrow, was another matter: it shattered the rod, fry indifference that she hnd. wrapp'-d round lier heart on tbe night she found she..was "To- reave-Br^^re.r'atr/r���������fofiOv.--=ni*T=rfu:s--:- band to town; .even hrs ni-cidenl at Kuston lmmedi.itety on th"ir arrival and Iris sufi rings dfd not ni^it It,bnt, j Ormande's voice p:<"-r."d through to ; her be.irt of hearts and rem the j pitched up wound asunder, Kat bar- i ine felt: her limbs tremble beneath : be.ne.tth her as -sne leaned against tiie ; wall.

She knew he meant every letter oif his threat; she knew it she were to take advantage of this illness to flip off her bonds and escape bim, that so soon as the old vigor was returned to Gordon's frame, he would relentlessly seek out .Ormande, her beloved, an'd work him ihe injury he had sworn to do. -But, apart rrom this, Katharine was, in every sense, a true woman. Evil as Gordon Smythe bad proved ' himself to be in her life, no though I: of leaving him, now this calamity had fallen upon him, ever crossed her mind. He was helpless and sick, and her place tvas by his suta. No matter what had. gone before, she could not atid would not desert ltim now.

"Why, she was the very :n- ler-Yi i-'g inriiid whom Lord Otwav The Globe recently had a brief quotation from a letter written to The London Times by a citizen of the United States visiting his country after several years' absence. Following are lengthier extracts from the communication, a decidedly Interesting one in. Its' way. In minutely analyzing America's future In tlio world of trade the writer says :��������� "In tho matter of foreign trade, tho manufacturer in America has definite aspirations Instead ot concrete ambitions. He would like to trade with all the world. He could not explain this aspiration, but he I might fall back upon his belief ln destiny, which is as strong in him as lt ls in a Mahommednn soldier, whom death ln battlo carries into paradise. The American hus come to have tho strongest faith in his gift for direction. He is convinced that other people, somehow, are losing that power, and he Is convinced that It ls only a question of time when the financial centre will bo shifted to New York or Chlcagor He does not take.Into account tho fact that he has not yet developed a banking system flexible enough to adjust Itself to a commercial crisis." Trades unionism, the writer declares, has Weakened the United States, and while the wages In skilled trades advance those In unskilled trades decline. Replying to a question as to how long tho present period of prosperity Is likely to continue, the writer says the general feeling in the United States predicts lt will last "until the next Presidential election is Bottled." He concludes with the following remarks anent foreign trade :��������� To my mind nothing is clearer than that whatever chances Americans hnd at one time of getting slowly but surely a paying foreign trade ln manufactured products have been lost I for the present: (1) Through ignorance in not knowing and not learning the conditions existing in foreign countries. (2) By trying to make a place for their products ln crowded communities, whoso peoples have great experience and ample capital. Instead of ln outside or neutral markets. (3) By inability to seek cor talte thc advice of those who knew or who had the chance to know. (4) By lnopportuneness of effort, and, as if these were not enough���������, (6) By rushing blindly into combinations, many of which are purely speculative, and then proceeding to advertise all over tho world their intention to take everything and leave nothing for anybody else. This thundering in Index has not left much tor the text to say or threaten, and little for the authors to do. These, however, are mistakes that will be overcome ln time. When the home demand declines, when prices and profits both In America and everywhere oise have come down to their natural level, when half or three-fourths of the so- called, trusts have gone to the wall 1'ke other speculative companies, and, finally, when the overweening desire for publicity and advertising has given way to a careful study of the conditions In ihe four quarters of. the globe, then will American competition become profitable to itself without being of necessity hurtful or dun- gerous to tbe industries of other c run- tries. Tariff Changes.

It ls not because he Is (Vspleased with tho attention and comfort of the Irish hotels, but for the purpose of meeting the convenience of his medical adviser, who had been attending bhn twice dally. The doctor, who was often called suddenly to attend his patient, thought It would be bettor for both If Mr. McGrloroy came into the infirmary attached to the institution. Ho gives this as the sole reason Why he has gone Into the workhouse.

For somo tlmo hr, stayed ln a Donegal hotel, but atter- rs thoroughly bad. wards removed to a country village somo distance out of Donegal.

JOHN LLOYD LEE. D. D��������� Ta*tor Westminster Presbyterian Church, New York City. Take ye away the stone.���������St. John, xl., ta. . On the one side of the stone door of Ifazarus' tomb stood the dark messenger we call death ; on the other, the mighty King of all life ; for Lazarus had been dead four days, and Christ had come to undo the work of death and to give to the young man thc most precious of all gifts���������that is, life. He who had created the worlds and had kept them in right relations through all the ages so tlrat they go singing on their journey could have hurled that stone away with a word. But, since he was working from the human, side, Hc must needs respect human conditions and give man a share iff His glorious work and also a chance to learn the lessons ot His great life on earth, for Christ's mission was not so much to make eternal impressions on matter on the outer world, as to make impressions on mind���������the human soul. It happens, then, that the chief service of man to his fellow-men is to clear away difficulties that the Divine Person and power may work, as on that day human hands bad to roll away the stone from before the tomb that Lazarus might feci the thrill of life. Difficulties arc of - various kinds, but all alike prevent the free working of divine power in thc soul. A non-con- ducter has come between God _ and man, and this must be removed from tlie human side because oi human sin. This is why Christ came around from the side of divinity to the side of humanity, bringing His divinity ^yith Him to give eiifcctiveiicss to salvation. The business or discovery in the natural worid is to clear away hindrances and to make channels for forces which were long ago reposed in nature right under our hands and .so near that they actually touch us. Just as the great discoveries in electricity consist in giving direction to that mighty power that it may become a thing of service rather than a means of destruction, so the chitjf business of religion is to clear away the difficulties in the divine path s'j that God may work naturally in the hearts of men. Martha was unhappy in the incident of thc text because she was not willing to make way for the full working oi the power of God. Most of the.unhappiness of the world is on the same account. Every day we pass by a thousand graves of buried hopes of other people and never once stop to see if we may roll away the stone that the light of God may shine in to give life to thc dead. How wonderful it would be if wc could fully realize that Christ stands on the human side of every trial and every trouble and every disappointment and every sin and says :���������"You do youi part and I" will do Mine I You remove all that the human hand can take away and I will banish the rest, as with a word I put death to flight al Lazarus' tomb." It may not be much that you can do, but if it is ever so little it must be-done before the divine power can work. The world can nevci be made- better without positive effort The cheerful face, the willing heart, the forgiving spirit, .the helping hand and the godlike purpose make the journey of life a grand march of triumph. But we are also to remove the stone oi indifference. Many people were there that day who did not seem to care much whether Lazarus ever lived or not ; and even Martha seemed indifferent to any effort on the part of the Saviour. So we find in the world to-day the hcad-shaWing and hand- wringing people who say :���������"It will do no good; there is no use in trying." It is your place and mine to lift hard at this world's weight of sorrow that the resurrection power of God may give life to a dead world. Martha and those who- were wilh her have taught us how wc may roll away the stone of unbelief and have the power _of- new_and_gr:eatcr lifc_;_ for_^_when_ they hesitated and doubted Hc asked "Said I not unto thee that if thou wouldst .believe thou shouldst see'the glory of God ?" Then can we not see the glory Oi God without believing? No, we ;annot. It is the only way. There ii many a dark grave of departed faith sealed forever because, we do not believe enough to'reach out a hand ti������ help. There are thousands of theni in this city. When tliey believed and removed the stone, what matchless glory did tliey see I It is only-by faith that you may sec the glory of God. When wc hear that an astronomer has discovered a new comet we do not read that hc found it with the unaided eye. He saw it with his telescope long before the rest of us knew anything about it. When a man announces a mighty truth of God, that he has seen its beauty and felt its power, though we do net see it, we know that it has been made known to him by the wonderful reach and revelation pf-faith. When , we were in the observatory searching for the stars and could trot find them the teacher said :���������-"Get the focus ; see that you are on the right line of vision; then ypu will see." Then do we in religious things turn md ask :���������"What has the focus to do with it? Can I not sec ? Have I aot eyes ?" ��������� The answer comes :���������"Yes, you have eyes ; but they are for nearby service ; rise the telescope for the sweep of the jfaivcrse.." So say we who teach the-high and Jternal things of the everlasting Iciiig- jflbm. First clear away the -'difficult-.' Je* in thc divine path, obeying the command, "Take ye awny the stone," then turn and use faith, God's eternal means by which-'you may look into the surpassing glories of heaven. For, "Said ������ not unto thec that if tlioti wouiiht ffelicve thou shouldst see the glory ������f God ?" Purifying the Cream. During the last three years considerable effort has been made to find a means by whicli the odor and taste of wild onion and bitter .wood may be removed from milk and cream. In the spring of igoi, the writer was requested to try a patent compound claimed to remove all kinds of weedy taste from milk, but it proved to be an absolute failure. Cooking soda (salera- tus) was also given a like trial, uut failed of the purpose claimed for it by some people. Having failed so far to find anything that when fed to the cows would remove ivcecry taste in the sntlk, the next step was treating the milk and cream. Bitter weed taste was removed entirely from cream by thoroughly mixing it with two nr more parts o������ water at any temperature above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and then running the whole through the separator. Saltpetre dissolved in water was tried as an aid in removing the bitterness, but as good results wcrf. secured without it as with it. Rapidly and slowly heating milk and cream to various high temperatures did not remove bitterness, but often imparted a cooked taste. Butter made from washed cream (as above) was pronounced free of all bitterness by thc station customers. Buller made from unwashed cream wns decidedly bad anc! was often rejected by the customers. No means were found lo remove thc bitter \yccd taste from whole milk. In the spring of 1902 milk and cream were treated for tlie wild onion flavor the same as in the previous year for the bitter weed taste.���������Alabama Agricultural Experimental Station. "Smoked" Glasses for Hay Fever. A number oi remedies have been tried for hay fever, each based on a separate theory. Dr. Frank E. Stow- (.11 of Worcester, Mass., himself a victim, became satisfied that the irritating cause was not always thc pollen ���������of a plant. While hunting around for another source of trouble, hc came io suspect that the actinic rays of, sunshine mii;lu be to blame. Thereupon he put on colored, or "'smokcu. jias-j- cs, and obtained instant relief. Hc is anxious now to have others do the same and report the effect. Inasmuch as his own trouble is of the early summer variety, he is not sure what thc effect would be an cases of autumnal hay fever. Dr. Slowell gives these additional hints about fitting the glasses :��������� "The patient snould feel a sensation of relaxation cbme over his face as scon as he looks Ihrough thc glasses. And I would suggest that the shads ot. glass used be such as .to produce the above. In my case No. 3 was sufficiently dark." Colic in Horses. Dr. Smead, the veterinary authority, writes regarding colic in horses :��������� "It is of great importance in thc treatment of colic to first ascertain what has brought on the attack. If it is due to the consumption ��������� of a quantity of dry food and there is reason to believe there is a hardened mass of dry, undigested feed in the intestines, common sense will tell us that this mass needs to be removed. "Therefore, more is needed than stimulants. Physic is demanded. An:! what shall this physic be? Shall it be aloes? No, because they increase the secretions of the mucous .membranes, and are so far good, but not sufficient to wet up that dry mass.. What then'shall it be? Oil, oil. oil every time, sufficient to soften up and emulsify this mass of dry food. How much? it may be asked. It is difficult to say. "Start with a pint of pure raw linseed oil' (never boiled). Give with a round teaspoonful of ginger, and it there is much .pain add an ounce ot sulphuric ether, or half an ounce of hydrate of chloral dissolved in water and added. ' "In an hour repeat and continue to repeat until there is a -natural rumbling of the bowels. "Also use thc syringe by injecting a gallon of warm, soapy water in the rectum, and .repeat hourly until the pain succumbs or a passage is made. In bad cases wring clolh out of hot' water and apply to the abdomen. "In cases where the attack may be due to the consumption of a quantity of sqft_fqqd o������ to drinking much cold water, digestion is in a measure stopped, and certain gases are formed by chemical action. "Nothing will better neutralize the gas thus generated than half an ounce of carbonate of ammonia dissolved in a pint of water and noitrcd down from a bottle. This will relieve the bloat, and can be repeated hourly. . "Also, if the.pain is severe, give the hydrate of chloral as before recommended with the ginger, and repeat if necessary* every half hour until the pain is relieved." Rains and snows,assist to a .certain extent in adding fertility to the soil. Jn one. year rains bring down about four_ pounds- of ammonia per acre. Nitricacid, chlorine, sulphuric acid and ammonia are all brought to the ground, though the amounts arc not large.; Eulwer Lytton's Centenary. The centenary of Emerson's birthday waa also that of. Lord Lyt- ton, who is better known to-day by "The. Last Days of Pompeii," perhaps, than any of his twenty-seven novels. That this remarkatriy versatile writer was also poet, play wright,-social critic, journalist, essayist, editor, orator, statesman, pamphleteer, is well-nigh forgotten. - It ls safe to say that he has never been regarded seriously as a literary force. In his own .day he was subjected to criticism that was undisguised* ly savage. One of the worst offenders was Thackeray, who poked fun most unmercifully at "Sawedwadgcorgcearllitn- bulwig." The "English Men of Letters" and "Great Writers" series omit Lord Lytton, and lie has been steadily ignored by tho essayists and critics. Only ow other writer of equal pretensions lias been so relentlessly neglected, the author of "Vivian Grey" and "Kndymion" and other portentously political" and social novels of English life. Mr. Lewi3 Melville, in an article in "Temple Bar" f������r May, wrestles vigorously with Lytton's ease to raise him out of this urrSeernly obloquy, but the task is beyond him. We know of two prominent magazines, whoso editors were approached some time ago with mamorial papers on the novcHst'b centennial, who promptly refused to give them a place in their pages. Yet it is claimed that Lytton's novels; are rend by hundreds of thousands, and rival those of Dickens in popularity. Mr. Melville lays liis linger almost unwittingly on tiie chief defect of Lord Lytton's work. "A w.ork of imagination may be fantastic," he says, "but if it deals with life it must necessarily be true or untrue to life, and if it is untrue it cannot be accepted as a work of art." The worst kind of immorality in fiction is the falsification of facts, thc perversion of truth. Lord Lytton began by infusing into his early novels an extravagance of ,pseudo sentiment and faulty psychology which created a false sympathy for the vicious and criminal. So warped and twisted was his view of life, so confused -his understanding of right and wrong, so lacking in moral insight and clear-eyed apprehension of motive and emotion, that he ^actually defended his "honesty of purpose," and claimed "sincere and distinct views of promoting truth and administering to knowledge" ���������a. claim wholly unwarranted by the facts. Wlat would -seem to be the can- kerworm in Lord Lytton's character led to the cardinal fault in his work, the insincerity of the man. One of his contemporaries who discovered a goodness of heart in the novelist, for which few who-knew him even well gave him credit, deplored his fondness^for personal metamorphoses, so to speak. "One day," it is related of him, "he would appear in black from top to toe, with a dark- complexioned visage to match. Another day he would be all brown, and on n third, he would be -all in white, with blond hair and-a-fair complexion lighted up by rouge 1"'-Carlyle, who derided the dandiacal l'elham in "Sartor Kesartus,". always spoke -with contempt of its author; Uie sad,.earnest. eyes of the seer' =aw through the pitiful humbug���������������������������"a.poor fribble," was .Carlyle's , epithet. Mrs. fjarlyle, more rplain-spoken, and a chain- ��������� <pion of the novelist's wife in her marital grievances,-called him "a lanthorn-jawetl quack!". All this is not to say that Bul- wer Lytton did not do good work and.- that he had no remarkable gifts. Espe-; cially in, his later novels, there are passages and characterization that j-each^n high level. .But the acid,of insincerity ���������and flamboyancy bit into the fibre of hia work and made it meretricious as litera* ture and worthless as art.

His austere yet kindly and just face tvas in a brown study. Something ivus wrong. The fact was that Worthington, the bright young clerk in whom Mr. Stringer had hitherto taken such a fatherly interest, had fallen away so in his work of late that something had to be done about it. Worthington had done so well up to within the last few weeks that hi? sudden deterioration was a matter" of wonder as well ns anxiety to his patron. Error after error hrrd been traced, to him. Filings, of'course, could not go on in this way. The head of tire linn-rang a bell. "Tell Mr. Worthington," ho said to tiro boy, "tlrat I desire to ace him." That young- man, looking somewhat preoccupied, presently appeared. "Mr. Worthington," said his employer, his face growing more stern as he spoke., "ns you are doubtless aware, every business, to be successful, trrust be conducted upon business principles. Until recently your work Iras beerr perfectly satfsfne- lory, ns the increases irr your salary from time to time have doubtless testified. But within the past few weeks'so ninny- mistakes have heen laid at your ioor that I'iim. compelled to enquire whether wc may look forward to tlii? sort of thing regularly. If so, I rrm afraid we shall have to get someone to fill your place." Worthington started. The deep flush thnt spread over his face bore evidence of Iris feeling. "You aro right, sir," he stammered. "I shall have to do better. I will do better." "May I ask," said Mr. Stringer, "what has been the cause of your deterioration? I hope iL is not dissipation." "Oh, no, sir! If yon will excuse mi' from the office for arr hour or so, I think I can produce sufficient evidence to the contraiy." , "Very well, sir: you mny go." About an hour later, the negligent clerk one more entered the private oflice of his employer.. This time, however, lfe was not alone. "Allow me, sir," lie snid, simply, "to introduce to yen the cause of my roocrrt mistakes���������my future wife." Mr. Stringer nrose to liis feet, and looked curiottsly down at the beautiful young girl who s.tood smilingly before him. Then he turned to Worthington. as he clasped her irand in his.

It is a passing quip, and bound soon to yield to freckles and tun, and whon it does so yield tho practice of dropping into church without n hat will go with it. St. Paul himself could well distinguish between essentials and inessentials, for after setting forth hi3 views about covered heads for women and for men, does he not say, "But if any man seem to be contentious we have no such custom, neither the churches of God." Which was saying in effect thut, after all, the question wasn't worth disputing over. A kindred question has come up���������so the papers say���������in Vermont, where a young woman who expects soon to be married objects to promising to obey her future husband, and has been looking fot a clergyman who will leave "obey!' out of the marriage service which is to make her a wife. She has found one, but no< in her own church. All the same, it will make little practical difference whether she promises to obey or not. If she marries a man worth obeying she will obey at a pinch, and be glad of the chance. The husband still ranks as the head oi the family, and though cases are common where he is not really in command, the happiest families are those in which he is equal to his job. It is not ant word of Scripture, or law, or a promist in the marriage service that makes*tin husband the senior and ruling partner but nature and the force of cireurn stances. Moreover, the fear'which some youny women have of having to obey a hus band is just a bugaboo. As things tun out there- is division of responsibility and therefore of authority.
