She loved Mr. Bowser, but until that moment she had not realized how much. The cook came in and by way of comfort said she had a brother who failed to come home one nlgbt, and after three days' search he was found in the rear room of a cigar store, lie bad gone there aud made a kick about { their three for fives, and they had sawed his head off. Depend upon il, Mr. Bowser was lying somewneie witli his head separated from his body. Nevermore would he come home to kick the front gate open. Police Had No Tidings of Bowser. ��������� At 7:15 o'clock Mrs. Bowser went upstairs and. called police headquarters ou the telephone. The reply wan: "No; no murders have been reported, but we are expeetiug one every minute. Will call you up later." At 7:30 the call came. Au old woman had been ruu over by a brewery wagon, a boy had shot himself in the hand, a married man bad eloped, an old gentleman had broken his neck while trying to bow to a chovus girl in the street, but nothing to explain the Bowser mystery. "Did he get swizzled now and then?" "Was his a happy home?" "Had she, Mrs. Bowser, called him a liar just as he was leaving home that 'morning?" "Had she any suspicions that he was 6tuck ou some other woman?" "Had he seemed off his h.-ad for a few days past?" Mrs. Bowser answered the above questions nnd then sat down and wept. She had been pretty good, but she could have been better to Mr. Howser. For instance, when he- wanted to buy n chicken farm it was her duty to have been enthusiastic about it lustead of figuring out that be was hound to lose $2,000 a year. His mau- gled remains were being hidden by the falling snow now, aud her conscience was crying out. Eight o'clock, and no Bowser.

What's wanted? Who is It? Oh, Mrs. Bowser, 1 eh? Well, has Bowser started for the north pole yet? Hasn't come home this evening and you are worried? Don't you go Into fits over Bowser. Never can tell what he'll do next, you know. Dead? Nonsense! He'll come home all right and explain things. May have stopped somewhere to look at a flying machine. Good night!" Ten o'clock, and uo Bowser. The wind was now moaning like a lost soul. Mrs. Bowser listened to it and wished she had let Mr. Bowser buy that squash farm. He had never been the same since mentally, and she was to blame for it Had some one come across his frozen remains in a snowdrift? Were they now lifting them up tenderly? Were they now wonderlug if an extravagant wife had driven the poor man from home? They probably were, and Mrs Bowser wept and resolved never to pay over 7 cents for another handkerchief. Eleven o'clock by the booming bells It had been a night of terrible anxiety'. One���������two���������three boomed the bells, and the cook, who had been asleep on the kitchen table, came up to go to her room aud halted to sny: "if he's dead then he Is dead, and we can't help it.

Nowadays, if it were not for the appearance on our tables of the succulent fritter, most of us would be quite oblivious of the occurrence ot Shrove Tuesday. But in the days ot our grandfather the case was very different, and many were the curious and time-honored customs which marked the day. Most curious, perhaps, of all t'hesc Shrovetide customs were the great foothill matches. The game, however, was scarcely of the kind which would be recognized by the Football Assocra. tion, partaking as .it did more of fli-> strenuous character football as played in America. Frequently, the majority of the nble- - bodied men of a town took part in these Homeric contests, and the field extended several miles. Thus, at Perth, a match used always to be played botween teams representing, respectively, the Bachelors and Benedicks of the town. Tlie kick-off wa.s at two o'clock, and tire struggle raged until sunset, the aim of t'v married men being to deposit the ball 'irr a certain hole in an udjoininp moor, while the goal towards which tlie bachelors made was a pond A similar struggle used to take place bjtwi-en two of the rival nar- ishes in Derby', and the side which won thf day wu.- wont to proclaim the fact by fastening the ball, d-'ekot* with colored ribbon, to the spire oi the ^parish church. Kveu the "{rentier" sex were not to b.i nxclude-i from thc delights of Shrove Tupsd-i- tootbi-11, and a match used to be plnyecl ev.*M-y year b'tween thc niu- trons and spinsters of rnvorn'-ss. As in the mutches of the men, the players were allowed to adopt any ine-nia th ay pleased of propelling the ball, and us tackling wns usually more than vigorous, cr.sualtioii occurred. Kven hi the country districts th" matches must have been sonWhin-.- of a trial to those who possessed no sporting tastes; while in London the dan-xers at Inched to the practice were so great that the civic authorities issued . on ��������� order, forbidding, under heavy penalties, the playing of football in the streets. In the old days, Shrove Tucsdax- was the occasion of many quaint oh servances at schools, especially iri the North of England. Thus, at sonif schools, it was customary for the pupils to try to "bar out" their teach- ers, and if they succeeded in this en deavor they were allowed to claim ai; indulgence of a day- or two's extra holiday. As some compensation, however, to the master, every pupil had to pay a small sum of money, known as a "cock penny," which went towards the salary of the tenchers. Perhaps the b-*strknown school custom still extant is that of "tossin- the pancake" at Westminster," th* pancake b?ing afti-rwr.rds scramble for, and the appropriator of the l;ir<- est portion rewarded. A rather brutal sport, which is now fortum-.t-.ly, k-.t-irnct, -vf.s that o "cockshying."

Many who ure in a really serious condition from nervous exhaustion do not realize;they are in danger because they have no pain. , They are weak nnd easily fatigued, their digestive system lacks the necessary vigor to digest food, appetite is poor and interest in life seems to wane. Some even have dizzy spells and fainting spells, as had the writer of this letter, before realizing the danger they are in. To such heart failure or some form of paralysis is liable to come at any moment. Why not take definite action to-day so that restoration may begin at onco. You can get Dr. Chase's Nerve Food at almost any store where medicine is sold and" can ��������� be sure that everyr dose brings you so much nearer to health and vigor.

Perks Thinks the Former Would Be Better at Quebec. The question as to whether the ill- fated Quebec bridge should be replaced by a tunnel instead of ,by another iverhead structure was j discussed by. Sir Robert Perks, Bart., in an interview with The Standard, In view of the tact that tenders will be called early in May for the construction ' of a bridge the plans'-of which have been strongly condemned by The Scientific "American, the question is one of great public importance. There are few men more competent than Sir Robert Perks to pronounce on the relative merits of bridge versus tunnel, for the firm of which he is the head has carried out'some of the- greatest engineering works of modern times', including the Manchester Ship Canal and the famous Severn Tunnel.* His firm also prepared the plans for the now defunct scheme of building the Channel Tunnel between England and France, which scheme was killed by the War 'Office; while the firm is now completing the , first tunnel through the Andes, to connect Argentina and Chile by railway. "The proposal to construct a tunnel instead of the proposed Quebec bridge is a perfectly feasible one," said Sir Robert recently, "and undoubtedly in the long run a tunnel would'prove far more satisfactory. The St. Lawrence River at that point is no wider than the Severn River at the point where we constructed the Severn Tunnel., That tunnel connecting England with South Wales, under ,what is really, the Bristol Channel,-is, with-its approaches, about eight miles long, and took four year's to build. "I take it that a tunnel and approaches for the St. Lawrence River would have to be about the same length. One of the great difficultie.- to be encountered, however, in replacing the bridge by a tunnel, is' the fact that the railways which would make use of it have all been built on the high level, and the "jades would have to be changed for tremendous distances. "As to the question of cost, the bridge would cost, I should say, $12,- 500,000, and you can safely put the cost of a tunnel at three times the cost of a-bridge. -The Severn,Tunnel cost $25,000,000." "How does the cost of maintenance compare?" Sir Robert was asked. "The maintenance of a tunnel is very much less than**the maintenance of a bridge," he replied. "With a bridge there is a very large annual sum to be spent for maintenance, and then*" you have to consider that a bridge shows continual deterioration. Witli a tunnel, these conditions apply to a much more modified extent, so that in the long run a tunnel is cheaper and more satisfactory than an enormous bridge of this kind. Another consideration is that while a bridge may possibly prove too low for the huge ships of the future to pass under, a tunnel offers no possibility of interfering with river traffic." Asked how deep the tunnel would have to be below the bod of the river, Sir Robert replied that twenty feet would be ample. * , SOWING FLOWER SEEDS. Get the Best and the Freshest���������Firming the Soil. To secure a good stand the first requisite is first class seed. Flower seeds are generally smaller and more delicate than farm seeds, and the purchase of poor grades at bargain rales is usually a waste of time and money. Plant only strong, fresh-seed. Usually tlie highest priced,ls the cheapest. The next .step Is the preparation of the seed bed. See that the soil is thoroughly mellowed. The first stage in germination Is the absorption of water. The rate of absorption is de-' - termined* by the number of points' of contacr between the seed coat and the soil particles. Finning the soil multiplies the number of points of contact; hence the,wisdom of one famous authority's rule to put your( foot on everything you sow. If the soil is 'wet this firming Is inadvisable, but If dry it 'is quite necessary, The depth of the covering Is governed largely by the size of the seed. Generally seeds may be covered to a depth equal In thickness.to the length of Ihe seed. Very small seeds should not be covered at all, the better plan being to shade them for a few days with papers to hasten germination. Each class of seeds has its own germlnative temperature requirement. Some, like the sweet pea, sprout when the frost Is hardly out of the ground, whereas other kinds require a good warm soil, and the seed will rot If planted too soon. The habitat of the plant will usually give one a clew in this regard. Plants from cool regions or high altitudes usually start early, and those from warmer regions should not be planted until later. As-the seeds beglu to sprout it Is well to go over the surface of the bed with a rake nnd brenk tbe crust for the purpose of assisting the young plnntlet In getting through. Competition should be eliminated by keeping jhe weeds down and by, thinning out. Overcrowding means weak, spindly plants. Give plenty of room and sunlight if you want your plants to thrive.

Plant Them In a Ditch to Seed. ��������� To have the best success with this plant one must bear in mind the fact that it Is a cool season crop. The pea produces its best crop before the hot, dry weather of summer comes on. The seed should be sown in the fall or early In the spring. It is a good plan to sow the seed In the bottom of a trench four or five Inches deep, cover with one inch of soil and gradually fill In Inter as the plants get large. The pea delights In a deep, rich, retentive, though well drained soil. The'first sowing mny be mado on the south slope, followed by successive plantings. The bloom period may be extended by making the last sowing ou a north slope or iu some location where the pea will receive partial shade The pea requires an abundant supply of water. If the season turns off dry ihe plants should'be watered copiously, using the seed trench as an Irrigation ditch. As soon ns the plants reach a height of six Indies a support or trellis of some kind should be provided. Probably the most convenient material for this purpose is poultry nettlug. The netting can be had in any desired width and can bo stored through the winter and used from year to year. Never allow any seed pods to mature. The more flowers you cut the more you will have. There are numerous varieties of the sweet pea and ample room for choice as to colors desired and also as to dwarf or tall flowering sorts.

Connors, cf Buffalo, bet. ter known as "Fingy" Connors, has of recent years broken into the American magazines against his will, Since he became boss of the New York State Democracy, the muck-rakers have been after him in full cry. His parents were Canadian Irish, but he was born in western New York State fifty-three years ago. He has risen from the position of dock laborer and keeper of a tough liquor dive, to the control' of the grain-shovelling business of the American ports on the great lakes, and is a power in the Democratic party. Even the great William Randolph Hearst had to form an alliance with "Fingy"- when he sought the Democratic nomination for governor of the state. He controls two journals in Buffalo of a more or less yellow character, The Courier and The Enquirer. Some ten years' ago Connors developed a temporary affection for Canada, the country of his parents. It was at a time-when he was at war with the longshoremen of Buffalo and seeing himself beaten, he threatened to ruin Buffalo as a cen-. tre of grain transhipment by establishing vast elevators at Montreal and Port Colborne, the southerly entrance of the Welland Canal. Hon. Richard Harcourt acted as his Canadian representative and the proposal went so far 'that when a party of Fenians tried to blow up the Welland Canal, it was generally believed for a few days that the conspiracy was the work of Buffalo grain-scooper.*, grown desperate at the* thought that Conners was going to permanently destroy their means of livelihood. Shortly afterward a settlement was, reached between Connors arid the "Scoopers," and he immediately laid down on the Canadian proposal. Whether it was a bluff from the start, it is difficult to say.. As a matter of fact, the proposition which Connors made respecting this elevator building was most unbalanced, and had he carried it out "Fingy" would have gone broke.

To secure early flowers the seed should be sown in a cold frame or window box ln November, or they may be started In September and transplanted to the permanent bed In time to reroot before winter. At the approach of winter the bed should be mulched with straw or pine ueedles to protect the plants from heaving nnd thawing.

Maurice Raymond Gif- ford, C.M.G., who intends, if possible, to'come to Canada to participate in the union of Riel Rebellion veterans upon the occasion of the 21st anniversary of the capture of Hato-> served as a private in Capt. French's scouts during the rebellion. Although called scouts, the little troop raised at Fort Qu'Appelle by Capt. French' was really an independent cavalry- troop, doing very little real scouting- duty. The men had to supply their- own arms, horses and equipment and were paid five dollars a day. Young Gifford and a number or other young English gentlemen were farming in the Qu'Appelle Valley at the time, and with the adventurous spirit of their kind, they readijy enrolled themselves for the campaign, Gifford, who is the" fourth son of Baron Gifford of Amprey Park, Gloucestershire, had been educated on the training ship Worcester and had for a short time served as an officer in,.the mercantile marine. In 1882 he left the sea and went to Egypt as galloper for a newspaper correspondent, at the end of the campaign coming to Canada, going to the Northwest and taking up land. Few who participated in the campaign of 1885 associated the private of French's corps with the heroic Gifford of the Metabele campaign of 1895. When the Metabele campaign of 1896 occurred he raised two troops of irregular cavalry which were called "Gifford's Horse," and with which he performed distinguished service. He was at length severely wounded and had to have one of his arms amputated at the shoulder. The Boer war, despite- his maimed condition, drew him out to South Africa, where he joined the Kimberley Mounted Corps, serving under Col. Mahon's staff at the relief of Mafeking. "And does your mamma always call you 'Angel'," asked the lady who was making the formal call. "Oh, no,"'- replied the sweet child; "only when we've got cornp'ny. I wish we had comp'ny always. 'Cause.

The other day a prominent divine connected with the Social and Moral Reform League, and the Lord's Day Alliance, and the Methodist Church, visited the House of Commons. He wished to appear in committee and make certain objections to proposed. legislation that was beim*; out forward' in certain private bills. He appeared- in the committee, made his objections, hut the bills went on their way just the same. ."The moral.and spiritual life of the people," he contended, "would be killed." This much he confided to several of his acquaintances who were loitering around the lobbies. He asked for their support, and these obliging Parliamentarians took the reverend divine to one of the round tables in the green baized room. The"waiter appeared and asked for the orders he took down everything from Scotch and soda to ginger beer. "Surely you do not sell liquor here," said the preacher. "Oh, yes, sir," was the response. "And just to think, I have been preaching for three years'that you Liberals had abolished the bar in the House of Commons. No, thank you, nothing to-day," he replied. And meanwhile the reverend divine discussed the observance of the Lord's Day while his companions drank their Scotch. Cores Sprung Tendon* Collar and Saddle Galls 23' Manitoba Ave., Winnipeg;.
