Ah there is at present no applicant in sight far the bo tun and other concessions which it irf proposed to offer the matter was discussed gen- earlly, the concensus of opinion being that Nelson offered such natural advantages as a site for lead works that, talcon 'in (unijunction with tbo concessions to be offered, should result in their establishment in this city. AU the members of the council were present, with tho exception of Alder- men Seloufl and Hamilton, and after nonsidurubte discuBehn Alderman Sonnlan moved the first reading of a bonus bylaw, a copy of which appear* in another column.

In return for these concessions tho recipients arc to commence work upou tlie erect ion of the plant within the em-rent year und complete the minn within six months from January 1st; and following tin's to continue in operation for n period of tire years. As thu bylaw is iu the nature of a till for lead works the details may be f.omowlmt modified in the event of negotiations being opened up under it. and for this reason they were not subjected to anything in the way of a rigid criticism, Tho idea of offering a bonus was unanimously endorsed and the bylaw as introduced by Alderman Scan Inn was but tnrougb its He vend readings, and tbo date for taking tho tote of tho rate payers was set for Thursday the .."hid instant.

Tho snow is melting very fast, which makes shaft work difficult and slow and there is a prospect that home of tho men will ho laid off until tho water goes down. In consequence of the recent activity nt the mine, North Star stock has taken a riso of several points. TIMELY ADVICE. | Mr. F. II. (Irevillo-Mulliner write?; Ah this time of jcar is critical fur the future of fruit crops I would recommend the following formula for spraying, vi/: Four ounces I'aris green (or London purple); four pounds sulphate of copper (culled blue&tone); four pounds unslacked lime; i>0 to ill) gallons of ivatcr. The above formula makes a combined fungicide and in* scctcidn aud can he sprayed either with a hand spray, or if on a larger scale with a barrel pump. Caro should be taken when adding water to ttie lime, nnd to ensure good work it should bo done slowly. In Spraying poach and apricot trees more wator must bo added, Much disappointment ("in bu averted by tho proper application of tho abovo formula. Tho caso of rex vs. vieff and Le Hi-ash, in which tho prisoners, who woro formerly employed nt the Fern mill, wero charged with the theft of a gold bri.k valued at $700, was disposed of yesterday. Tho cicrumstances connected with this enso wore briefly thnt the men wero savetal hundred dollars behind with their wages and very foolishly took a portion of the mill clean-up in satisfaction of their claim. Their defence was handled by S.' S. Taylor. In his charge to the jury Mr, Justice Martin explained the law upon tho case, but throughout, in tbo opinion of most of his auditor?, was favorable to the prisoners. Tho jury was out bet a few minutes when they returned with n verdict uf not guilty. lu receiving the verdict Justice Mai tin said tho jurors had to his mind taken a very pioper view of the caso. Then, in undressing tbe prisoners, bo said ho trusted thnt under the circumstances thoy would realize that it wns only due to the spc-cial Incidence of their case that th-\v 0-jcoped a conviction which would havo stood ngalust their characters for nil timo to come. Their experience should servo as a warning to thorn not to tako tho law into their own hands, and also to others who upon the fuce ■if the matter might bu inclined to act in a manner which would put their liberty in jeopardy. S. S, Taylor then asked that in any application which might bo made for the restitution of tho gold brick that he bo allowed to bo present, and Im lordship in reply stated that any motion of tbis nature would come up u|oii tho completion of thu criminal business, There is likely to be a stiff tight put up for tho possession of the gold brick which is now in the custody of tho regstrar of tho court ns the accused will endeavor to hold it ns security fcr wages due. Tho caso of rex vs. Ilolmrs, in which tho prisoner is charged with attempting to procure an obortinn, wns than taken up. The following wero drawn for tlio jury: P. J, Starkey, It. Frank Clarke, E. Criddle, Melvillo Parry, H. Stevons, \V, A. Fraser, David Morris, Jnmos W. Moffat, John Rae, H. T. Irvine, F. W. Jarvlfl and Arthur R, loole. Chief Jarvis of the city police, was tho first witness. At the outset he was subjected to a very sevuro cross- examination by W. A. Macdonald touching tho circumstances leading up to certain alleged admissions which the prisoner was credited with having made prior to her arrest. The counsel for tho accused endeavored to snow that the alleged admissions wero not udmissahle. The court ruled against him however, and the udmissioos went in. Tho ca°e for the Orown woh still in progress when the court rose at 5 o'clock. in the Gronville mineral claim,situate betweon Mountain siding und Anderson creek on the N, und F, S. railway.

Yours respectfully, ALFRED PAKR, PERRY CREEK PLACERS Foit Steele, May 7.-E. O. Roy ton and A. S. Trow, of Merrillan, Wisconsin, nt tho head ol a company of Wisconsin capitalists, have completed the purchase of a large placer property on Porry creek. It consists of an area of creek and bench diggings about two miles long by halt a mile wido. The ground was worked over In the early days and an immense amount of gold taken out, but the work dono was simply surface work panning and rocking, and iu only i few instances were shafts sunk to bed rock. Tho company, which will operate under the name of the Perry Creok Mining company,is proceeding at once to install a large bydrunlic plant,costing In the neighborhood of $100,1)00 and tho ground will be worked as a hydruullo proposition. The intention is to sink to bedrock and drift, thus working the wholu bed of the creek hydraulic elevators will hoist the pay dirt to the surface where it will be washed along flumes in the ordinary way. London, May 7.—Tho premier, Lord Salisbury, as president of the annual grand habitation of the Primrose league, at Albert hall, this aftomoon, spoke to an immense audience in a mtioh loss pessimistic vein than when he was last heard in public. He con gratulated the league on tho staunch support given to tho Conservative government, one result of which was tbat Groat Britain was now supreme in Egypt, while with regmd to Ireland, the country need no longer fear the ''insane, suicidal projects of Imperial disrution which was supported by many of the oppositions statesmen." At the same time, tho country must not expect tho ashes of past conflicts to , bo extinguished immediately. Great Britain has had n great and serious war, but admitting that misery and suffering had been caused he said it "must be recognized that the power, prestige, Influence and magic effect of our groat emp re are more potent, mere efficient and mere admirable than ever boforo." Wo have suffered," continued the premier, "but we havo gteatlv won.'' It was impossible not to feel that the efforts of the peoplo of the country, hove in somo cases, not been worthily recognized. Tho other day Mr. Morley had asked If tbero waa a single member of thu cabinet of lss'.t who, if he could hare forseen the results of the policy on which they were then launching the country,would not have checked tho diplomacy leading to such deplorable results. As a member of that cabinet, ho, Lord Salisbury, wished to meet this statement with the most indignant denial. Tho war had been need by some politicians for tho squalid puprose of injuring their opponents '' Wnen a neighboring power or tribe invaded Ins majesty's dominions, and made an attack, which was a gross and flagraut outrage, it could only bo mot by lighting In their own country those who bad despised the rights and sovereignty of our sovereign." Turning to the peace negotiations, ord Salisbury announced * that Great llritain has not receded an inch from tier former position. As to tho rights we claimed and the policy wo intend to pursue, wo are exactly where we were." REVOLUTION A SUCCESS Washington, May 7.—Cable advices received here state that the president of the Dotnnican republic has signed a relinquishment of his claim to the presidency, and on his part Horatio Vasque-s, tho late vice-president, has granted amnesty to tho adherents uf the late government and assumed the prosidontial chair. Senor Vasquez, tho charge of the Dominican republic bas received cable advice announcing the success of tbe revolution. It in probably that he will now become a resident minister here. Naturally tbe charge is anxious tbat the United Stutes will recognize the nen govern- men at once. This is a matter, however, that is by custom left to the United States minister resident, nut it is not doubted that Mr. Powell will, as Ii2 has Heretofore done, soon put liinisilf in communication with tho defacto government.

Iliiof rrf«rencc was mtide in Tlio Dally Nows rocontly to tho rioinrabiliy of estnblisbing a jrymnusium iu Nol- Hon. Several persons have since expressed hearty approval of the shk^s- tion, aud have promised tu lend every assistance iii their power to forward the undertaking. It would appunr, thorefore, that all thnt iu necessary to secure definite action in the matter, is for some ono to take tho initiative in calling.a meeting ol those interested to deviiso ways and means. This should he done with ns little loss of time as possiblo, if the gyrunnpmm is to be an accomplished fact by next fall. That it well appointed gymnntiium, located in n (MUimoilioiis hall, suitable for indoor panics, smoking concerts, dances, etc., would bo a decided acquisition to Nelson's attractions will not be questioned. As it inn tier of fact thu neod of somo place whore young men cm Fpend their evenings is generally admitted and the wonder is tbat 110 move in the direction of filling this want has been successfully undertaken before now. In ether towns tho providing of such n place of resort for young men has been taken hold of by the business men of the place, who rightly recognized that their town could have no better asset than an institution in which tbe youth of the community could pass their evenings in healthy recreation. There is no doubt that a similar disposition will bo evinced on tho part of the busisuess men of Nelson wtion once tho matter is taken up in an energetic manner. In connection with a gymnasium an esBeiital requirement is 11 coin potent instructor. Fortunately there is now resident ir Nelson a gentleman fully quaiQfd to undertake this work and he has intimated to Tlie Daily News his willing uess 10 give his serivces gratuitously, EDITORIAL NOTE?.

Tho RolbsolltUn nre working on a copper property in Mexico which promises in a abort time to rival tho production of the Orcenu Consolidated. When the Montana mines shall begin to operate to their normal capacities thronh the removal of injunctions, lawsuits etc., tin) present llguros of United States production, largo they nre, should show a striking increase. Lake Superior also should soon begin to show tlio results of tho operations of Its new producers. Many persona think of Mr. J. I'ier- pont Morgan as a capitalist of enormous wealth, who Hnancea great enterprises with his own money. According to the Minneapolis Tribune Mr. .Morgan is only a hi rod broker, and his extraordinary talent for organizing corporations, whoso stock is mainly hold by other men, is employed on occasions, like ttiii* of any other specialist of great skill. All specialists get high fees und Mr. Morgan's commissions ure not insisniHoant. lie takes thou in ttie foitn of stock iu tbe enterprises he organizes. Humor says bo got (-18,600,000 for managing the steamship merger; $100.000,<)00 for arranging tho United States Steel Corporation; $30,000,000 from the Metropolitan Securities company; and 815,000,000 each Irom the Northern Securities company and tho American ltridge company. Mr. Morgan has noted as manager for vaiious lesser combinations, for which figuros are not given. Though he is said to be only a broker working on commission, business is putty good with Mr. Morgnn, and, if hh services continue to be in the same demand, he may hope to hocomo a rich man himself before he dies.

An ofllcial report slates that In 1901, tn Switzerland alone, accidents to mountain-climbers amounted to 119, nnd that death occurred In all of these.

As the result of studies on New Jersey mosquitoes last summer, Professor John li. Smith of Rutgers College says that not only will the insects travel long distances from their breeding- place, but on favorable evenings large swarms rise nnd are carried during the night by winds. The direction In which they go is often seaward. Swarms have been mot fifteen miles from lho shore, and they are common live miles from shore. .Migration of mosquitoes with the aid of the winds Professor Smith regards as of much Importance, and as rendering tlie' control of the mosquito nuisance much more difficult than has been supposed.

The old proverb about honor among thieves has had a staggering blow In St. Louis. The thieves wore certain members of the city council and a number of street railway men, and it was because neither side had any confidence in the honor of the other that a remarkable oase of bribery was most amusingly disclosed. The railway men desired certain franchises, and put up one hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars as a corruption fund. They wero afraid, however, to pay it to the councilmeu until the council had voted as they wished. The corrupt councllmen, on their part, would not vote until they hnd the money. Uy a compromise, therefore, the fund was placed in a safety-deposit box which had two keys, one ot which was held by each party. Neither could open the box without the cooperation of the other. The councllmen voted as they had agreed, and It was through the quarrel over their attempt to get the funds thnt the whole matter became public Quantities to suit at wholesale prices Our Java and Mocha at 40c and Our Choice Blend at 25c. is the best value for the money.

Chnrles W. Hcdlcy says 'that the main point of his remarkable ministry was not eccentricity, but a quite unique self-sacrifice In the Hervice of nny who needed him. "Unconventional he certainly was to a degree which might Indeed, as you suggest, shock some strait-laced people in Toronto, hut In an age of worldllness and self-seeking he sought neither the world nor self, but gave freely and utterly Mb time, comfort, strength, means, even at times the clothes off his back, to those In need. The best proof of the man Is to be found In the warm regard with which his memory Is treasured over the wide area in which he labored ns a pioneer missionary. He did adapt himself ns few could have done to the tone of the men among whom chlclly his work Iny; but while seemingly Indifferent to conventional detnlls, he stood for the main elements of religion — faith In God the Father, the redemption, nnd tho practlcnl brotherhood of man—and he lived out his creed. The vices which Christ most sweoplngly condemned wero as far as possible removed from bis character, while on the other hand the pre-eminently Christian virtues werts his to n remarkable degree. It Is due to no mere eccentricity on his part thnt % memorial church Is to be erected in Rossland, and thnt Immediately on receipt of the nows of bis death a spontaneous movement was made to erect a public memorial, n movement which has been widely supported hy hundreds of contributors of all classes and creeds."

The Daily News, Thursday, May 8, 190a TTic Savlftf of Mrs. Mcrvme; ^"%ERSONALLY, I never liked f\ f Mrs, Mervlne, It may have LX been that she was too pretty, J for nny other woman to like, JL or It may have been something else. I'm not good at analyzing my sentlmenta. X like and I dislike, -that's enough for me. Some people can't wear a bustle without knowing In what period of our , evolution a taste for humps was evolved, but for me, I'd go on all fours without n question if It become the style. And when Mrs. Mervlne—she was Miss. Henry then—married Mr. Mervlne, I did a little quiet rejoicing i all privately In my own room. You see, [ George and Miss Henry had had an affair, and, by the way.I hadn't thought of It before, but maybe that la why I never liked her. Hut then, according to that, I shouldn't have liked Oeorge, either. Two things equal lo each other are enual to themselves, Isn't It? Or something like that. No, don't explain It to me. I couldn't understand In a week, and, besides, I want to tell you what saved Mrs. Mervlne. You see, sho waB young and pretty as a picture in an Alma Tadeunaesque sort of way. lie was about seventy, nnd he looked like un antique brnus. Just the color, you know, nnd so many wrinkles that they looked as If they had been made by hand with n chisel. •He wos rich nnd respected and nil that, but he was a man of principle, and of all things I loathe It's a man or woman of principle. I think principles ought to be like the magazines at a man's club —for the use of all, and not to be gathered up and secreted by one, any moro than one would try to swallow all the nir around him, so no one else should hnve any. Mixed? No, I'm not. The metaphor? Oh, well, I'm telling you what saved Mrs, Mervlne. But about his principles, Thoy wore a good concrete sort, you know. There was nothing Comtlan or Kantian about them. A babe In arms could have understood them. One was that servants should not be tipped. Another, that a man should get his money's worth wherever he went. Another, that a woman who had attained her growth was old enough to take care of herself, and so on and so on. Any one ot* these was a principle for j which he declared himself ready to perish at tho Htuke. Mrs. Mervlne knew till about these principles boforo sho married him, but she didn't realize ■their import, nnd she went up to tho altar pink and smiling and thinking how she was going to splll'hls money about. How do I know what she thought? Didn't I tell you thnt I fori things—lots of them—without ever knowing them? We nil went down to the station with them. You know they went to New York and nailed from there for I3urope. His best man had the tickets bought and the chairs bought, and he shoved them over to Mr. Mervlne. That worthy looked at them and bolted back to the tlcket-olllce. He came back pulling and showed us n handful of change. "She can havo a chair," ho said, Jerking his thumb towards the bride, who was neither pink nor smiling now, "and I'll sit In the smoking compartment You see, they can't put me out, because I can show them I've paid for a scat In the car. Nothing like getting your money's worth." Just then the bell rang for the train to start. Poor old Mr. Mervine was Imrn, you know, ages before trains were thought of, and he always had a. panic nbout catching one. Well, he forgot everything except thnt he was scheduled to catch that train, nnd tin whisked through tlie gate alone, galloped down the track and threw himself on the platform. Of course, there wasn't anything leW for Mrs, Mervlne to do but to make a hasty explanation to the gatekeeper nnd sail down after him. She scrambled on to the rear platform, with the aid of the porter, and never turned to wave us good-by. We threw the old shoes nnd rice at a young couple that came In on the local and stopped behind a load of trunks lo kiss. Mamma and I wont abroad that year, nnd I had almost forgotten the old Relic and his bride until one day in Paris I heard an American voice. It was ut a kiosk where I was buying a magazine, and there was the Relic •nourishing Hie Paris edition of the "Herald," trying In execrable French to have It exchanged for a "Gnllgnnnt" of the same date. The old woman who kept the booth Imagined herself threatened by n maniac or an assassin, and .was about to call a gendarme, when I 'Interfered and explained. The Relic was profuse In his thanks, but begged (hat since I hnd already been so kind, would I do yet n little more and see If I could nol Induce the old woman to take the "Herald," which he had read. In exchange for the "Gnllgnnni," which he desired to read. I glanced across the way, nnd saw Mis. Mervlne seated on one of the public benches watching us with narrowed eyes, which Bhe averted as I turned toward Iter. She was gorgeously dressed, and 1 saw she had a hand full of new diamonds, but her face was absolutely colorless and her . eyes looked bright nnd hot as If she hadn't been able to have a good cry for a year. I knew the Relic's principles were getting on Mrs. Mcrvlne's nerves, and I slipped a few sous Into the old woman's hand and gave the Relic his "Gullgnanl." He was quite embarrassing In his gratitude, and summoned Mrs. Mervlne with a sort of whistle, such as one uses In emergencies for hackmen or motor- men. She had learned the signal well, for she came up promptly, with n look In her eyes as If she expected to see ghosts. She wns quietly cordlnl, saying and acting the correct thing, ut she had always done, but It didn't occur to me until afterwards how weakly sho had seconded his effusive Invitation for us to dine with them. Mamma, you know, Is always quite unhappy on tho Continent. She misses her morning oatmeal and Ice water, and, most of nil, someone to whom she tun tnlk English; so, whenever wo meet nn American, 1 have all I can do to prevent her legally adopting him Into the family. So, when the Hello Insisted on having us dine with them, mamma Joyously consented. It wus arranged that they should Mil for us at our hotel, and from there we were to go to the Palais Royal and later to the Comedlc Prnncnlse. Well, they came on time—In an old voiture with n drunken driver who had agreed to take them for less than thu regular tariff. The Relic has a morbid habit 'of demonstrating everywhere thnt he knows moro than any other on( or two human beings about him, so we had no sooner started than he began to declare to the "coohcr" that he wnl [driving us In a roundabout way In or der to consume *ttme and earn a largen fare. The "cocher" had traveled Parla drunk and sober for forty years, ho told me, and when be forgot, tots horse knew anyway, but tho more the Rello argued, the more convinced he became that there was a deep plot on hand to rob him, and It ended by our stopping and calling a gendarme, who called another, who called another, and they all performed a sort of autopsy over us, while every gamin In Paris walked around us and made comments. You know them. At last we were sent on our way, the Relic yet unconvinced, and Mrs. Mervine pale and trying to smile. Poor mamma's eyes had fairly popped out of her head, and she held my hand and trembled as If we wore going to the guillotine. At the Palais Royal tho driver Insisted on being paid for the time consumed during the autopsy, but wo fled Into one-of ihe little Jewelry shops, where I talked like a grapho- phoue, from sympathy for poor Mrs. Mervlne. At last the Relic came, looking copperler than ever. But there— you're looking tired. No, I'll not tell you all the details. It was too awful. Poor Mrs. Mervlne looked aa If ahe wanted to die then, and how she lived with him for four years after I don't know. You see, he bounced Into the restaurant ahead of us and plunged down In the first chair. Then he grabbed the menu and gave his own order to tho waiter, explaining that his wife would take the some, but that one order would sultlce for both. He fairly drowned himself In his "vln ordinaire," trying to get his money's worth. Before we left, he gathered up the few extra lumps of sugar and pocketed them, declaring that when he paid for a thing ho liked to have It. As we prepared to leave, the waiters lined up to receive their customary fee, but the Relic was true to his principle, and not for millions would I again run the gauntlet of their withering scorn as we crawled out, like so many worms. I don't remember just what happened ot the theater. Some of the Revolutionary blood of our ancestors, never before agitated, was stirring In mamma's veins, and she looked like the pictures of frontier women about to attack Indians. I didn't want her to claw the Relic there. And poor Mrs. Mervlne. I forgot George then, and the affair, end nil her evil gloating over us when she captured the Relic, but I couldn't have felt more wretched for a soul In purgatory. I remember him scrapping with the woman who takes care of the wraps for a couple of sous, and I remember being marched Into the theater, tho only ones In the house with huts, t remember him scooting down ahead of us and Jumping Into his seat. He wouldn't buy a programme, it was another principle of htB, and he didn't understand a word. He went to sleep, and when he wns folded back over the seat with his mouth hanging open, snoring, gently {nn usher would have jerked us out if he had snored loudly), Mrs, Mervlne looked a -bit more natural, and asked me about everyone at home—everyone but George. I don't remember how we got home. I know mamma said things I had never taught her, and I know 1 had to put a hot water bag to her feet and an Icecap on her bead. A day or so afterward I met them again at tho Invalides. You know how the Continentals are nbout their treasures. There are as many cant-iron rules about seeing them as a presentation at court, nnd one of them is thnt no one ahall enter Napoleon's tomb without removing his hat. Well, tho Relic had another principle. He'd have died for It along with the others. That one wns not to take off his hat to anything that was not "American." When I saw him at the Invalides that day, he was coming down the marble stairs too rapidly for It to have been spontaneous. I knew ho hnd been trotting out one of his principles, and the French guardj had been enforcing theirs. Poor Mrs. Mervlne! I got quite maudlin yet when I think of her face ns she stumbled down ihe steps nfter him. Mamma met them once after that, In London. He wns pufllng along the Strand with nn umbrella hold over him and one under his arm. The one over him was to protect him from the rain, the other one was to assist him in making n way through the crowd. Mrs. Mervlne was following umbrellnless be- hind, majestically as always, as though she didn't know that his umbrella was pouring rivers over her. Mamma leaned out of the carriage to speak to her, but decided not to do so, which was pretty good for mamma, you know. If It hnd not been In England, I don't think ahe could have resisted It, We sailed for home a day or so after that, and you know George nnd I wero married right awny. In the excitement of getting ready nnd acknowledging presents nnd receiving afterward, I forgot the Mervlnes completely until one day I saw among George's letters one dlreoted in a woman's handwriting. Of course, It wasn't right to open it, but — Well, nnywny, I did open It, and It was from Mrs. Mervlne. It Just comes to me It Isn't right to tell this, but I've gone so fur, nnd anyway, she Is In Japan, nnd the Relic has boon dead n year. Well, the letter was all blotchy and bllstery, nnd the writing ran off the lines and the sentences weren't finished. What? Of course I remember It. You don't suppose 1 just glanced at Itl I memorized It. "My only friend: "I am sick and heart-broken. Tor weeks nothing has kept me nllve but the thought that as soon as I landed I should see you. I tried to see you yes- tordny, but the tyranny—Oh, George, come and take me away! I oannot endure It—I cannot. You would lift the cart-wheel from off n dog's neck In the street. Take me away—take me with you, You loved me once, and I would mnke you love me again. I don't care for the dreadful things you snld when I married. I did sell myself—Oh, yes, oh, yos, and the coin I received! If I knew where you were I would go to you, nnd you could not, would not send me -away. It needn't be for life, you know, but Just until I know what I can do or where I can go. Oh, George, If it Is n sacrifice, make It for the sake of tho time when you did want me—oh, that time when I took my life's happiness In my foolish, sinful hand and gave It back to you." Now, wasn't that scorching? And. don't you know, the beauty of It waa— I often think I should have been a saint and had my picture In the Catacombs—the beauty of It all was that t didn't get angry nt either of them. Ot couifo, I think Goorgo must h-/e looked very silly begging Miss 11'fry to ily with him when nt that time he didn't make enough money in % month to Tuiy.oiM CT ITer WmonaU, Art* naturally, I can never, never trust him again; but 1 understood the business at a glance. You see, she hadn't loved George a bit, but when she was Isolated with the Kelle for something over a year, nil tho old Eve and Delilaih and Mrs. Potlphar in *ier came to the surface. She just had to be loved by some one, and the more she thought about it, the more she became convinced that George was It. Perspicacious? Thank you. I've been tolling you one can see some things without a searchlight. What did I do? Well, first I locked that letter In my desk and then I put on my mauve grenadine—the one, you know, with the Renaissance yoke and the embroidered flounce. I hnd Thompson rub up Major and the coupe and the harness until they shone like silver. Then I went to call on Mrs. Mervlne. A shabby butler in a greasy coat opened the door. The hall was dusty, and everything was upside down. You know, as soon as you go in a house you can tell whether the people are happy or not. I had arrayed myself to go and demolish Mrs. Mervlne with my wifely dignity, and to give her Sunday-school advice 'from the helg-hts, but when I wont Into the drawing-room I found her there, crouching over a steam radiator. She was thin and blue and wretched, and I just went up to her and threw my arms about her—forgot my Renaissance, yoke entirely—and 1 paid: "Oh, you poor, little, battered thing!" And I kissed her, and she didn't resent It, and then we cried. I think we must have cried a gallon, and then It seemed so funny, and we both laughed a while, and then I think wo cried some more. Anyway, It did us both loads of good, nnd then we talked It over. I explained to her that George and I were married, and that he couldn't do a thing, but that I could do something, and that I would; and when I proposed that we go to mamma's for a month or so, she couldn't speak for gratitude. I told her I was going home to tear up the letter, nnd that the rack or thumb-screws couldn't make me tell George anything about it. You can understand, when she saw It from my standpoint, It seemed very silly, and she wouldn't have had George know It for worlds. Tlie next day I carried her oft to mamma's. The reasons I gave George for taking Mrs. Mervlne with me made no mere "tissue of falsehood." It would have supported an elephant. When one begins to fabricate, it's silly to leave holes big enough to throw you. We stayed there a month, nnd we talked the prospects over In every possible light. We couldn't see the shadow of a chance to do anything but Just stand It, but the talking and the sympathy and mamma's sublime Ignorance of everything did her good, ond she went back without a murmur. She got a new butler who didn't wear a greasy coat, and she fixed up the house, and when things got too awful she came over to see me and cried It out. She didn't fancy meeting George, but I cross my heart nnd hope to die, he doesn't know a thing to this day. I suppose you think that It waa the Relic's death that saved her, but It wasn't. It was me. Oh, well, It was I, then. If I had preached that day, she'd have taken n scenic-rail way Bpeed to destruction with tlie first man in sight. No, she Isn't Immoral. She's as good as I am, but St. Cecilia couldn't have stood the Relic and his principles for more than a year and not have done something "wlclous." — From "Ains- lee's." A Fish Stories in the Talmud. THE Talmud of the Hebrews Is a depository In which one would seek for many things before looking for huge fish stories and chronicles of the immemorial sea-serpent; yet there nre some specimens therein Which would put the veriest son of the sea to shame and show that tlie early rabbis were not devoid of a keen sense of humor. The following are from the latest section of the English translation by Rnbbl Rodklnson: "Rnbba b. Hana said again: 'I have seen nn alligator as large as the city of Hagrunla, which contained sixty houses. A snake enmc and swallowed It, and a Inrge-t.alled raven came and swallowed the snake, and then tho raven snt on a tree!'" The translation of another Is as follows: "Rabba snld again: 'At one time when on board of a ship I saw a fish Into whose Rills a reptile crept from which It died, the sea throwing It out on land. And sixty streets were destroyed by Its fall, nnd sixty streets consumed Its flesh, nnd sixty other streets salted the flesh that was left; and from ono eye they filled three hundred measures of oil; and when I returned thither nfter twelve months, I saw Its bones being sawed to restore tlie streets that were destroyed by It!'" Were the speaker other than Rabba b. Hana, who would havo believed this? "He said again: 'At one time I was on board of a ship, which was driven between two fins of a fish; three days and three nights the flah was swimming ngalnst the wind aud we were sailing with the wind, . . And R. Ash! said that this was one of the smallest fishes of the sea which has two fins!'" From the same Inexhaustible source we have the following also: "It once happened that I was going on n boat, and saw a fish on which sand was gathered and grass grown thereupon. And we thought It was an Islnnd, descended, baked, and cooked upon It. When tho back of the fish grew hot, It turned over, and had the ship not beon so near we would have beon drowned." It Is scarcely to bo wondered at that at the close of one of those marvelous rabblnicnl tales we should find this remark recorded: "R. Papa b. Samuel said: 'If I had not been there, I should not have believed It!' " Peck's Bad Boy. Professor Harry Thurston Pock, editor of the "Bookman," has written a delightful story for children. It Is entitled "The Adventures of Mabel." A few days ago a woman entered ono of the Chicago stores to buy a book for her little girl, says the "Record-Herald." "How old is she?" the clerk asked. "Five." "Here Is a nice tale for a child of that age," the clerk said, handing out professor Peck's story nbout Mabel. The woman took the book, looked at the tltlo page, and then handed It back, ■flying! "Mercy! I don't want that In my house, I've rend some of that stuff he wrote about that bnd boy, and tUat'J enough for me." ' - i ~ v J West Kootenay Butcher Co.
