Drowning Accident A sad accidentiappened at Sand wick hst Wednesday by which F S. Smith, a young man employed by Mr S Piercy lost hie life. The fact? are briefly that young Smith after getting home from this place, finished up hi- work and went to . the Taoluii) river,'which skirts Mj Piercy's fields, for a swim, in company with Mr Piercy's son and several other lads. After entering the river. Smith swam a little way and suddenly gave a cry and sank. A boy on the bank gave an alnrm and the other b-.������ys,- who were swimming a little way up the river, at once came to the drowning boy's assistance, Matt Piercy even yetting hold of him, but being f^rce:! t<> re linquish his hold to avoid being drowned liimst-lf. Suii'h tlien sank for the Ja*-t time, and thpuj-h the other lads-repeatedly dove for him, they were unable ' to bring him up and were finally forced to abandon their atiemp's and run for assistance, to-Mr Piercys, -By. the ime the body ? was recovered aiiout uu hour had elasped and life wae quite* extinct. The deceased boy had during hi*? short stay here, gained the esteem of all with whom he was thrown in contact. Latterly he had driven Mr Piercy's milk delivery wagon and his unfailing good nature and courteous demeanour, made friends for him wherever he went, so that exp-ess-ions of regret were heard throughout *he 'own. None felt bis loss more than Mr Piercy, who undertook the iask of preparing for the funnal.iu a way no wise different ths*n had he been his own son, meanwhile com- ���������nTunicati ng���������wi th���������the���������dead���������boy s- pe-tple in New Brunswick, where several sisters arid a brother are left to mourn his loss. Word was received from them to ship the re- maint" home. Preparations were^ at once made to do this, but the regular steamer having left before word was rectived, Mr C Grant kindiy offered to take the remains to Nanaimo for shipment. Just outside Comox harbour however, the launot. MK'ints wttnt,out oi gear and oars wete resorted io as far aii Union Wharf where the (>a:-e was stated to Captain Phillips of th*- liner Aoraiiui, i-.fln coaling. That otUcer at oik.u offeted to carry the remains to Vancouver, anil most generously declined payment of any kind. His kind action will be long remembered.' Tlie Aorangi pulled out from tho Wharf ai G a-:n Sunday. Word has been received thnt some of the yoiing man's relatives will meet the remains at Vancouver.

'���������She*" is a very strange woman, Loida." "I,dare say sho is a very awkward and disagreeable woman; bin, then, it is the mother in thc .woman you will have to deal with. All .mothers are gentle and kind, I am sure. Everything will, tome right, Francesca���������I am, sure it will���������and you will lovo each other when Lancelot comes back as you never could have loved had you not been separated. Ah, Francc-scsi, all 'women, in one way or other, have to find out that of all the sorrowful things in life the hardest of all is loving." And the girl was for the time consoled, because Loida understood that in the first hours of sorrow comfort must often consist in promising the impossible, and in asserting whatever is the desire of the "wounded heart. Francesca wished to believe all that Loida said; she therefore accepted her assurances, nnd took what ..hope they promised her. Another course might have v>een more prudent and less kind. As it was, Francesca suffered very much. No one knew at the time how much, for the - circumstances seemed to suddenly develop in her girl-heart a woman's reticence and noble restraint. For some days thc affair was not spoken of again, and. the squire noticed the pallor of his daughter's face and the singular stillness of her manner. "Whatever is the matter with my little girl?" he said to Miss Vyner one afternoon. "She is either sick or in trouble. Is it about that young man, Loida?" "Things are not very pleasant about him, are they, Kashleigh?" ���������-���������"No-���������th-ey���������are���������rt"ot"���������Jr~sra~sot~'td~ blame, am I, now?" ������ ' "I cannot say you arc," . "Woll, then?/' . "Nay, brother, I never talked much about my own trouble; it is not ��������� likely I will talk of Francesca's, I dare say she will tell you sooner or later, whatever there is to toll." "Hns he gone away yet? Tell mo that much." Before Loida could answer, the door opened nnd Francesca entered. The squire looked kindly at her, \ and drew her chair close to his own. She sat down and laid her head against his big breast, and as he silently stroked her head, she began to cry. He was much moved. His voice trembled with tho tears in it, as he said; "Fnineescn! "Why, honey! Why, joy! Whatever is the nuitter?" "Lancelot, has gone away trom England, fa thei." "Me will come back, I'll be bound!" "He says he will not como back, lie gave mo back my troth, He says I must forget him I'oivver," "The impudent rascal! lie gave thee thy troth! My word, but he was never worthy of thee!" "Fat.her. you must not, sny a word against Lancelot, It is bo-' cause he is so noble, y.o honorable, so truly /ond of me that he gave up our engagement, I want you- to Iind mlt where, he 1ms gone to, Hu did not tell mo," "Nay, my dear, I will not do that, If he has gone, Jet. him go. l-'ratieeseu Atle-i'trin is lie!

"It would not be kind of thee. Forgot, and let him forget." "No; I will not forget. He may forget, if he can. I will not forgot. I will remember, and I will love him to the end of iny life." "Dear me! What stubborn stufT women are made of!" And he looked half reproachfully at. Loida, , who sat, with an expression o* approval on her face, opposite to Ir-m. "Brother," she answered, in reply to his accusing glance���������"brother, it ls a very good thing for men generally that women are made of stubborn stuff. I cannot think what men would do if women were not so mado as to believe black was white, and stand to their conviction." "To be sure! To be sure!" "Father, you will find out for me where Lancelot has gotie to. I cannot do such a thing as that for lny- scli Can 1?" "1 should think not. Don't theo cry in such a way as that. Thou breaks my heart.* I will do what''' thou asks me to do; but I tell theo plainly I would deal rather not do it. And don't thee try my'love too far. I would call it taking a mean advantage of a fond heart." He rose with the words, and going to the window, he said: "It is raining hard. But I think I -wili-go-feo-the���������stables-a-bit,���������-���������Thore- aro always things that should be done there in bad weather. And they will not get done if somebody does not see after them." It was an errand mado to escape the sorrowful atmosphere of tho room, and perhaps neither of thc women wa,������. sorry for it. The squire was evidently only sympathetic in a small degree, and Francesca felt as if the world ought to turn upon the axis of hor loss. Nothing else in it appeared worth thinking- about or conversing about, and she sat down in thc large chair her father had just vacated, tho very picture of woe, For a short time Loida remained silent. The rain beat against the windows; the fog shut the nearest trees and shrubs from sight; vision was restricted to the room in which they sat; and, except for tho leaping, blazing fire and tho shining steel grate and hearth furniture, tho room partook of tlie gloom outside, Tho pictures were dim, tho furniture almost black, tho carpets darkly indeterminate, the curtains hail a depressed "hang," the china ornaments a ghostly pallor, and there wns no cheerful sound to appeal to another sense.; only tho wind wailing round tho garden nnil dashing the loose ivy sprays against tho casements, Youth is so impatient of suffering, nnd Francesca was not only nma/ed, but almost, indignant, at tho cruel fate which had suddenly deprived her of Iter happiness, Always before, in all her small trials, she hud received instant and unqualified sympathy; always heioro the squire had been sui'- firieiit to being lier help or relief. She would not believe but that ho could, if lio would, bring back Lancelot, She was sure Lancelot was going nutty for want of money, and sho felt her father's silence on this subject to be particularly unfeeling, She hud still a childish idea that her father's resources were unlimited; und she wiih certainly feeling, at that hour, that the chief and most desirable usn of money was to bring home again her lover, "What is tho um' of being rich," sho asked Loida, "if you cannot uso riches to save love? There Is nothing on earth better than lovo, oh, Loida?" "Yes, there are things better than love���������nobler limn lou* ��������� without which any lovo worth having cannot exist." ..'et . i.. i .... V t- ovorvtVtltig love." "Vou might glvo vour llfo. but yet thoro is something you would not gise, something mure precious than ble���������honor. 1 know what vou em thinking, Fraiu*enca.

"It is easy to talk of 'honor,' Loida. Honor! Honor! What is it? A noisy nothing, invented by the proud. Am I to lose love for honor? And how is Lancelot's honor at stake? I do not understand. He spent all his money in that dreadful mill, for his honor. Our marriage was put off because his money was gone, and it was not 'honorable' to ask for mo while he was poor. Ono can understand how poor women sudor for love, in some way or other, all their lives long. But it is not fair to throw 'honor' at their hearts also." "Being what you are, Francesca, honor obliges you to bo noble in all things; and so to nobly deny yourself, even in love." "I shall die for 'honor,* then. I cannot livo long without Lancelot." "Other women have loved and lost, and lived on." "I am not 'other women.' Every one is cruel to mo, oven Lancelot. Why did he go away without seeing me? If there was any dishonor in the case, I would have forgive*} him the dishonor." "Lancelot would never forgive himself. I should say that a dishonorable thought was impossible to him. There may be circumstances unknown to any one, making it a kind of dishonor to see you again. And do not speak lightly of such self-denial. For no one can annul dishonor; it is irreparable, and though its loss may be forgiven, who can restore it? A fleece stained by the dyer never regains its whiteness. A character stained by dishonor never recovers the glory of a stainless integrity." "Do not preach to me, Loida. I am so miserable." There was a few minutes' silence. Francesca sat with hor head thrown back and her eyes closed. Loida's hands were busy with her crochet, but her heart was in a ���������'empest of feeling, of uncertainty, of pitiful sympathy. She glanced upward; the storm was unabated, the room growing more and more gloomy. Francesca's face was the imagine of despair; its pallor was the dull pallor of heartache. The child was suffering greatly; no one knew that better than Loida Vyner. Stie came suddenly to a determination. Then she put aside her trifle of work and took her chair to Francesca's side. Francesca let her clasp her hand. It was cold, and the limp fingers made no responsive effort. CONDEMNED AS FOOD NEARLY EVERYTHING WORTH EAT- I ING HAS BEEN UNDER A BAN. She had made~up her mlnclTb bear her sorrow without discussing it. "Francesca, my dear." "Yes, Aunt Loida." "Look at me and listen to me. I am going to tell you about Dick Alderson: Dick was���������I hope in God's mercy Dick is yet���������my lover." Then Francesca opened hor eyes and looked with interest into her aunt's face. "I never talk to any one about Dick. I have not uttered his name to mortal man or woman, except to his dear mother, for ten years; yet, Francesca, I love him���������I lovo'. him. with all my heart and soul. Must I tell you about Dick?" "If you please, dear aunt." "Your mother and I wero co-heiresses of a small estate near Tipham Market. Our pnnonts died when we wero young, We had no near relatives. Tho Aldersons wore friends; wo went there very often, l,)ick was their only child, and Dick loved mo when I was a girl ten years old.

The other day tlio writer saw a young girl upset hoiiio salt at tlio tablo nnd thon pick up a pinch and throw It over her left shoulder. Sho said that If sho didn't sho would quarrel with her best friend. It Houmoil silly to think that tho spilling of tho salt was going to niiiko thu quarrel, and it seemed Just iih silly to think that tlio tossing of some of It In a certain direction was going to help matters, Hut, llko moat old superstitions, thoro In soma reason back of It. Salt, as you know, Is a groat purifier. It prevent* deeuy, In a tonic and Btrongthoner and is nocossary to the health und even to tho llfo of men aud animals. Tlio ancients looked upon It ob always pure nnd lasting and modi It tho token of friendship.

Qtevti and MIorobM. It wu noticed in Farla whsn Kin* Kdwara wm there that he always appeared in publlo with his right hand gloved, but not his left, As it is a common practice to carry the right glove loose, and not tho left, much specula- tion has been oxcltcd by the King's re- vor������al of this custom. One learned writer suggests .that It la due to a sound pereeptlon of hygienic propriety. Tho object or a glove, he iny**, it not to adorn but to protect the hand. Which hand has the more constant employment and ia therefore brought into closer contact with microbes? Why, the right hand. It follows that in keeping that bund plow! the King shews bla unfailing sense. From the D*ya of Adam There Has Been Not Only Forbidden Fruit, bat Forbidden Meats and Vegetable*. The Peculiar Belief of "Toteml-m." From the days of Adam and Eve to the present time there has been not only forbidden fruit, but forbidden meats and vegetables. For oue reason or another people have resolutely refused to eat any and all kinds of flesh, fish, fowl, fyiits and plants. Thus the apple, the pear, tho strawberry, the quiuce, the bean, the onion, the leek, the asparagus, the woodpecker, the pigeon, the goose, the deer, the bear, the turtle and the eel���������these, to name only a few eatables, have been avoided as if unwholesome or positively injurious to health aud digestion. As we all know*, the Jews have loug had a hereditary antipathy to pork. On the other hand, swine's flesh was highly esteemed by the aucient Greeks and Romans, This fact is revealed by the many references to pig as a dainty bit of food. At the great festival held annually in honor of Demeter roast pig was the piece de resistance in the bill of fare because the pig was the sacred animal of Demeter. Aristophanes in "The Frogs'" makes one of the characters hint that some of the others "smell of roast pig." These people undoubtedly had been at the festival, known as the Thesmophoria, and had eaten freely of roast pig. Those who took part in another Greek mystery or festival, known as the Eleusinia, abstained from certain food and, above all, from beans. Again, as we all know, mice are esteemed In China and in some parts of India, but the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Jews abhorred mice and would not touch mouse meat. Rats and field mice were sacred in old Egypt and were not to be eaten ou this account. So, too, in some parts of Greece, the mouse was the sacred animal of Apollo,.arid mice were fed in. his temples. The chosen people were forbidden to eat "the weasel and the mouse and the tortoise after his kind." These ���������came-under-the-designation-of-uncleanr But people have abstained from eating kinds of flesh which could not be called unclean. For example, the people of Thebes, as Herodotus tells us, abstained from sheep. What is the matter with mutton chops? Then,, the ancients used to abstain from certain vegetables. Indeed, the Romans sneered at those Egyptians who did not dare to eat onions, leeks or garlic, aud yet tho Romans themselves were superstitious about what they ate or what they should avoid eating. In his "Romau Questions'* Plutarch asks, "Why do the Latins abstain strictly from tho flesh of the woodpecker?" In order to answer Plutarch's question correctly it Is necessary to have some idea of tlio peculiar custom and belief called "totemlsm." There ls a stago of society In which people claim descent from and kinship with beasts, birds, vegetables and other objects. This object, which Is a "totem," or family mark, they religiously abstain from eating. The members of tho tribe are divided into clans or stocks, each of which takes tho namo of somo animal, plant or object, as#tho boar, the buffalo, the woodpecker, the asparagus, and so forth. No member of the bear family would dare to eat boar moat, but he has uo objection to eating buffalo steak, Even tho marringo law ls based on this belief, and no man whoso family namo ls Wolf may marry a woman whoso family namo Is also Wolf. In n general way it may be said Unit almost all our food prohibitions spring from tho extraordinary custom generally called totemlsm. Mr. Swan, who was a missionary for many years in the Kongo Freo State, thus doscribos tho custom: If I wero to ask tho Yoke pooplo why they do not oat zebra flesh, thoy would reply, "Chljila"~-i. e., "It Is a thing to which we have an nntljia- thy," or, bottor, "It is one of tho things which our fathers taught us uot to cat." So it seems tlio word "bashllaiig" means "the pooplo who havo an antipathy to the leopard'," tho "basha- lamba," "those who havo nu antipathy to tho dog," and the "luiHhllanlanzefu," "thoso who liavo an antipathy to the elephant." In othor words, tlio members of those stocks refuse to eat their totems, tho siobra, the Jeopard and tbe elephant, from which they take their uuiuui., Tho _urviv.nl of nnt!r,><''.v to or-rtnlrt foods was found among pooplo os highly civillxod as tbe Egyptians, tho Greeks and tho Romans. Quito a list of animals whose flesh was forbidden might Uo Uiuwu Up. i'ut ..Aau.mV'. lu old Egypt tho sheep could not bo oaten in Thobcs, nor tho goat In Mendcs, uor the eat in Iluluistls, nor the crocodile at Ombos, nor tho rat, which wiih sacred to Hn, tho sun god. However, the people of one place hud no Ket-uplei about eating tho forbidden food of another piitee, and tliU often led to 1'C llglous dlsputei- and bad blood.

From the Argonaut: When the eminent Wu Ting Fang was Chinese minister at Washington he was tho guest of honor at one of the leading clubs, where he made an address, and was afterwards entertained by some of the younger members, who thought it would be great fun to get tlie orient;?] diplomat intoxicated. They plied him with champagne, highballs and beer until about 3 a.m., by which time most of the clubmen were maudlin. Cool as a cucumber, Mr. Wu surveyed the crowd and said"suavely," in his perfect English: 'If I didn't know the club was composed entirely of gentlemen L should say that you fellows were trying to get me drunk."

If you enquire into the cause oi sickness*, pain and .suffering, you will rind that fully nine-tenths of it results from derangements of the liver, kidneys and bowels. This was the truth arrived at by Dr. Chase when he began experiments ���������which le I to the discovery of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pius. The liver and kidneys are intimately related as filters of the blood, and the regularity of the bowels depends on the healthful action of.the liver. Hence it happens that when the liver and kidneys are made healthy and vigorous by the influence of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills such diseases as biliousness, liver complaint, kidney disease, indigestion and constipation soon entirely disappear, With the liver and kidneys in healthful working order, the purity of the blood is ensured and you are protected against colds, fevers and contagious and infectious diseases. As a family medicine to promptly cure the most common ills of life there is no preparation that can be compared with Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills. In every neighborhood there are people who have proven the merit of this great medicine. Ask them. .Mr. Wm.

W N U No. 58{ A Model City Covernment. TJie government of Manchester is a business. Its liabilities are about $156,000,000; its assets are about $147,000,000; and the deficiency about $9,000,000, represents the amount which the ratepayers have to contribute each year. The figures indicate that it is a big business. The management of this big business is absolutely in the hands of the city council acting through its committees. As I haves-lid, the system is simple, and the responsibility cannot be evaded as it can bo in a muddled-up, complicated system like that of New York oi Chicago or Newark. The people know what has to be done, and they know who has to do it. But, even at that, big figures are confusing to the average mind. And then, too, it is well ������o submit the figures which a city council publishes to an unsympathetic eye. And so, because the people oi Manchester propose to know what is done with their money, they have in their service two men whose business it is to investigate and publish at regular intervals, every tendency oi the council toward carelessness or extravagance. Never for a moment are the councillors permitted to forget whose money it is that they are managing with such fluent ease. These two men are known as elective auditors. They are elected directly by the people, and the more merciless their attacks on tjie council the better they please the people. They are free from the slightest obligation to the council. They have access to all facts and figures, i'or the people of Manchester find it difficult to understand why their government managed by their personal representatives with their money, should not work wholly in the light. These reports are published weekly in the Manchester "City News.' ���������Samuel Merwin in "Success Magazine." CRIPPLING SCIATICA. A Sure and Certain Way to Cure this Terrible Torture. There is just one sure, scientific cure for sciatica, rheumatism, lumbago, neuralgia, headaches ��������� you must drive the pain from your blood and nerves with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Through the blood they conquer the painful poison, soothe the nerves, loosen the muscles and banish every ache and pain. Mr. Thos. J. Etsell, Walkerton, Ont., says. "When I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I had been off work for three months. The cords of my right leg were all drawn up and J could only limp along with the aid of a stick. The pain I suffered was terrible. Only those who have been afflicted with sciatica can understand the misery I was in both.day and night. I took six boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills before they helped me, but after that every day saw an improvement, and by the time I had used fifteen boxes, every vestige of the pain had disappeared, I have no hesitation in pronouncing Dr, Williams' Pink Pills the host medicine in the world for sciatica." Every dose of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills makes rich, pure, health-giving blood, That Is why they cure headaches and backaches, Indigestion, kidney and liver troubles, anaemia, heart palpitation, and the Ills that aflllct, women only.

It was most absurd, he told himself, for a man to feel as he did" under these circumstances. There were certainly no logical grounds for his vague fears. Still there was the haunting possibility that the bishop might raise objections. Remote this possibility was, to be sure, but none the less potent. Van Ruyven remembered the time there had been a case pending against him in the courts. It was a sil ly case, trumped up by an ambulance chaser. His lawyer had told him from tbe first it was nothing to worry about. And yet he had been more or less disturbed until tlie jury had brought in its verdict in his favor. His position now as he mounted the stairs in the wake of the solemn butler seemed analogous. At the head of the stairs the butler r. drew aside the leather portiere, and Van Ruyven entered the big, dim study. A fire crackled cheerfully upon the hearth and sent flickering shadows dancing up and down tbe rows upon rows of books. Near by a green shaded lamp threw a soft light upon a table littered with books and papers. As Van Ruyven crossed the threshold a fine figure of a man rose from bis seat by the table anjl came forward with outstretched hand. "Arthur, I'm glad to see you," said the bishop, with a smile that left no "doubt as to the sincerity of his words. < "Sit down here by the fire and give an account of yourself. I count myself in luck that you take the trouble to come up here to see me when Edith is in the house." He drew two comfortable chairs before the fire and motioned Van Ruyven to one of them. "Now, then, what sort of absolution ~~do you "^^nt~tHis~time"?''~"th~^brsht)"ir went on lightly, "or perhaps you came up here because you knew I'd lej; you smoke." Van Ruyven smiled. "Thanks, I will smoke if you don't mind," he said, drawing out his cigar case. He selected a cigar with as much care as .if the fate of an empire hung upon his choice, clipped the end and slowly 'lighted it. He smoked abstractedly for a moment or two before he turned to the bishop. "The fact ls," Van Ruyven began, "I have como to you tonight with a very delicate mission." "Ah, I see." Tho bishop's words were formal, noncommittal, but his clean shaven, kindly face lighted up with a smile of understanding, and thero was a hint of mischief In tho gray eyes. Van Ruyven was looking into tho fire again. He puffed nervously at the cigar, "And this delicate mission?" tho bishop suggested mildly. "I caihe, sir," said Van Ruyven, speaking very slowly, "to ask you If you would hnvo any objections to ine as���������as Edith's husband���������that Is," ho amended quickly, "if Edith herself has no objections. You seo, I haven't ascertained that as yet." Tho bishop straightened himself In his chair. With his broad shoulders and his iron gray hair ho was a decidedly Imposing man. Just now ho regarded his guost with nn odd expression, half of affection, half of amusement. "So you came to me first,** he said quietly. "Rather a rare procedure In theso degenerate days. You show a dellcato deference, sir, to eortaln Ideas thnt I Inherit from my ancestry on tho othor Hldo of tho Mason and Dixon line. I think I shall'havo to Index you as it master tactician," ho ondod playfully. "Then you hnvo no objections lu tho matter?" askod Vim Ruyven. "Bless my soul, no," laughed tho bishop, "and If I road Edith rightly Bhb litis none either." Ho loaned forward In bis chair and regarded tho youngor man Intently. His face became suddenly grave. "Thero ls souiotblug about Edith, however, that I must confide to you," " ho snid, "something that no ono alive knows save I, myself. Under the circumstances, Arthur, you should know it lv*>.

Tbe bishop's ares roe moist 0*. his earnestness. "She has never once disappointed me. Even her intentions seem to be mine." * * * * * * * There was a commotion downstairs, then the sound of fobtsteps on the polished stairs, and a vigorous knock ou the lintel. The portiere was whisked aside, and an excited mi? kl came into the room���������so excited that sbe gave no heed to the bishop's frown of mild reproof at her unseemly entrance. "Plaze, son" she gasped, "Miss Edith do be wantin' yer downstairs at wance, Bor. They's been a baby lift on the doorstip." The bishoo almost snrang from bis chair. "A what?" he said. "A baby, sor, lift on the doorstip, sor." . "There seems something almost ominous in this coincidence, Arthur," he said nervously. "Pardon me a moment. I'll be back directly." After the bishop had left the room Van Ruyven tiptoed cautiously into the hall and peered over the banisters. It was indeed a strange group that stood in the hall below���������Mrs. Briggs, the housekeeper, with the much swathed foundling in her arms; Edith, tall and stately,.standing near by, her arms and neck showing like Ivory against the dark tapestry on the wall; the bishop peering into the depths of the old shawl that wrapped the child; two maids craning over his shoulder and the statuesque Higgins explaining to such as cared to listen how he had come to find the bundle when be had answered the bell. "And what'll we do with it?" asked Mrs. Briggs when Higgins' tale of woe bad come to an end. "Do?" said Edith. "Why, we'll take it-to-the-homerof-courser" QUEBEC'S LAST SEIGNEUR, Charles A. M. Globensky, Seignsur at Mille Isles, Pr.eses to His Rest at ��������� Home In St. Enstache. Charles A. M. Globensky, Seigneur of Mille Isles, who died at his home In St. Eustache very recently, is said to have been the last of the old squirearchy of Quebec. It is more than 50 years since the privileged class to which he belonged lost the place it had held for upwards of two centuries in the social order of French Canada. Of the seigneurs Of 1S54, when the act was passed that extinguished the peculiar rights of the lord of the manor, none are now alive, M. Globensky having survived all the others. There are still, however, selgneui-3 and seigniories in Quebec/but they are not what they were. With the title goes none of the power, and from the tenants can be exacted none of the dues that pertained to the old estate of the seigneur. ,. Landlordism. In 1854 the Legislature of the Province of Canada passed the law which abolished seigniorial tenure. The system had long been recognized as an Incubus upon the progress of Quebec. Parceled out into siegniories, each of many square leagues in extent, the land was under the oon'trol of a few territorial magnates. This was a hindrance to settlement. To obtain a farm an Immigrant had to become a holder under some seigneur. The latter oi tn* several sections ci lermory e-n- trusted to them. They were to afford the encouragement and the direction for which the French peasantry at home had been accustomed to look to a superior class. But the seigneurs proved valueless as aids to colonizing enterprise and were a positive hindrance to it For the most part they soon ceased to be people of consideration in the eyes of their tenants, who were usually too few to make up a j rent revenue sufficient to maintain the | seigneur In magnificence. His poverty ! was fatal to his dignity. A blight on | the country was removed when hU ; ���������rule waa ended. SAVED THE LANDS. HOME ANNIVERSARIES, "My dear," the bishop remonstrated mildly, "why not keep it here with us? To take it to the home seems to me to be very "nruch-like casting It into outer darkness. Of course we can't look after all the waifs, but suppose we take this one, who has been left at our very door, and give it a chance in the world." Edith laughed unsympathetlcally. "Why, father, dear, what a silly idea," she began. "Of course we can't keep It." '"Inasmuch as ye-have done it unto one of the least of these,'" quoted the bishop. "A very pretty sentiment," said the girl, "but most unpractical. You haven't the, least idea what instincts this child may have. You would probably give it ovory advantage In the world only to have }t disappoint you at every turn. It would probably grow up a most ungrateful little wretch. They always do." Van Ruyven tiptoed back Into the study and snt down before the fire. lie heard the group below go Into tho reception room, and their voices enmo up to him Inarticulately. For a time ho sat thero, smoking In" a preoccupied manner. Then ho hoard Edith's voice In the hall below giving orders to tho servants. "Higgins, telephone for tho carriage, and Mrs. Briggs got on your things, please, and bo ready when It comes, We'll take tho child to tho home. I'll go with you. I can't conceive why father had such absurd notions about keeping It hero." A llttlo later the front door slammed, thoro was n rumblo of onrrlago wheels without, and then Van Ruyven hoard tho bishop's steps slowly ascending tho stairs, Ho camo Into tho study and stood for awhllo looking silently into tbo flro. "Did you bonr It?" bo asked at length, turning nbruptly to Van Ruyven. Tbo younger mnn nodded, Tho bishop enuk rather heavily. Into bis chair. ' "Sbo's not minol I was mistaken!" ho burst out. "Sbe is no daughter of mine, after all!" Van Ruyvoo rose. "I think I'd best go now," ho said simply. "Please don't tell Edltb tliat I have beeu bore nor why T rnn-io" Th������ bishop looked nt him narrowly. "It will be bard for her," bo said, "but I think you aro justified." Suddenly the bishop's head drooped. There was a stifled sound very llko a Rob. "Sho said it would grow up nn un- grateful little wretch, mid sho was right, Arthur; alio was right." Whale Lea.hsr.

When a settler took land In a seigrniory he became subject to the charges that law and custom had established. The rent charge known as "cens et rentes," was usually two sous per arpei-t. To this the tenants had little objection. As long as they paid it they were left in undisturbed possession, and could pass their holdings on to their heirs, who, in turn, became subject to the rent charge. Also a tenant could sell out his holding, the purchaser taking his place as the "censltaire," or rent-payer. But transfers of the latter kind were subject to another charge, that known as "lods et ventes," which was one- twelfth of the purchase money. This fraction of the price had to be paid to the seigneur whenever a holding on his estate was sold out by a tenant. The Mi,!I. To reduce the burden of this tax on transfers, tenants and purchasers of tenant right sometimes conspired to understate the price, > But the seig- "nluTs earIy~becahW^mp^wTrTd~t^fSKe' over any holding 40 days after it had been sold, on the payment to the tenant of the price he professed to 'be receiving from the purchaser. This power proved an effectual check on fraudulent representations of the price. As ! tenants strenuously objected to giving up one-twelfth of the value of theirV improvements, the desire to be a ten-' ant did not grow stronger as time pass-; ed. Another grievance which hindered immigration to the seigniories of Quebec was the seigneur's right to a toll for grinding the grain. All the wheat and other cereals turned Into flour and meal had to be ground at tho mill of the seigneur, who took as his pay one-, fourteenth of the grist, As the opportunities for oppression Increased, some ! of tho seigneurs were quick to turn ' them to account. Rents would be increased, timber reserved, the river shore would be withhold, a portion of every catch of fish would bo exacted, and so on, j Towns and Villages. Not only the habitants, who tilled the farms of the seigniories, but the people who formed tho villages and the towns that sprang up within the seigniory woro at the mercy of thu lord, The country was kept back. Tho first attempt that was made under British rule to get rid of the stagnating seigniorial system was In 1700, The Council appointed a committee to look into tho system, and tho committee's report was most unfavorable. Sottlo* mont, It showed, was not expanding, only tho part of each seigniory bordering tho 'river being people.
