Thomas Taylor, on lising to speak, was icceived with cheers and prefaced his remarks hy saying that he did ^not intend on the present occasion to give an account of his stevv-udship* as rep- lesentative, hut would take advantage ot an early opportunity to do so. Referring to the previous campaign, he h.ul always bee!i a strung believer in the party system of Government and that his idea was a correcfoue hud heeu proved hy the. enthusiasm*^vitb which the-masses of-the people had taken up the mutter. The fight was now about to open between the Liberals and Conservatives* and he was srrr e that the latter \vouId lie victorious. (Applause.)

He al.ways thought the best, way to judge of a man's past career was to see how lie was received where he lived and carried on his avocation. Shortly alter Mr. Mc Bride's accession to the Pienriership he had the pleasure of attending the public reception tendered to hiiu in his native city, New- Westminster, and was more than pleased with the great enthusiasm displayed. All shades of political opinion took pait in the demonstration and it was one of which any man might well he proud. This showed thai the Premier whs most respected where he wai best known and such a tribute was one which strengthened, if possible, his contidence in Mr. McBride. (Cheers.) Mr. Taylor concluded hy saying that he was not yet it candidate, bitt it' he received the nomination at the convention to be held shortly he would be more than proud to cai ry the Conservative banner to victory. He bad implicit confidence in his leader, he had implicit confidence in the gentlemen caiied upon to join the cabinet, and he was sure when the election was over and Mr. verled into learns to Eagle.

(Loud applause.) Hon. Kichaid McBride wns loudly cheered on coining tn the front of the platform to commence his address und it was some time before he was permitted to ptoceed. In opening, he stared that while on the tram he had been met by a telegram fiom the Conservative Association atRevelstoke asking him to speak at a Conservative niriEs meeting and he had replied he would be glad to do so. Accordingly he was present, and while not wishing to deliver what might he termed a campaign speech lie would touch lightly on some of the matters mentioned in the party platform. The Premier first dwelt on the events leading up to party lines'and pointed out that it was not until 1800 such a division had been made even in Federal politics in this Province. He had, however, been strongly in favor of the move being taken for some years and was glad to see that the great mass of the people were determined to fight out the coming campaign as practically an issue between Lrlierals and Conservatives. (Applause) Of course, there were in the Province various men who could not see eye to eye with either of the great parties, such as those favoring the Socialist ticket, and they were perfectly right to hold such..opinions,*- but he was sure that a large majority-would line up behind the Liberals and Conservatives and he was also sure that the Governnient of which he had. the honour to be lhe head : wonld be sustained by two to one at the polls.

The promise by the Premier!that assistance to the extent of $2000 would be given for a High School at Kevelstoke came as a pleasant surprise to many in the city. It haslx-en realized for some time that such an institution was necessary if the rising gerreration of Revelstoke and vicinity were to receive the.higher grades of the public school curriculum and the knowledge that when the summer vacation closes the High school will proliably lie in operation has Ik-oii received with great satisfaction by teaehei-s and scholars alike.' As it is too lat<* in the season t6 arrange for a special building, and there is plenty of vacant room ih the present public school, it is probable that for 11)03 some of the available space there will be utilized. Not only will the news be welcome to Revelstoke itself but also to the fourteen public schools in the vicinity that can send their scholars, with the liece-ssarv .jualilicatious here. To meet expenses it may be that a small charge from scholars from outside the city will Ixj required, but these details are area matter of rrfterarrangeinent. To Mr. C. F. landmark lielongs the creditor rr.siduoti.sly working at the in-oject of a High school and he-is, to; lie congratulated upon his efforts being at la***t crowned with success*. The chairman of the school trustees wa.s seen on the matter and stated that the institution of a High school would do a very good thing and the trustees would do" every thing in their power to make the necessary arrange- ��������� ment.;. The matter- had been taken up before but it wa.s feared the expense would be too great. The - piornised assistance, however, if officially confirmed, would put a new. complexion on the case, and ils soon as notification was received from the department at Victoria the trustees would call a .special meeting and And out exactly how many scholars were available and othei' data necessary liefore the city could be definitely committed to thc project.

What does all this mean? That their journey is a type of ours; that wc have ���������experiences similar to theirs. Is it not ��������� fact that to most of us life is a wilderness, a desert, often a .disappointment, Marati, bitterness? All have ilarah experiences, though there is more oi joy than sorrow in life, more oi sunshine than shadow. 'Most of life is to most men made up of much disappointment.

They complained against their best friend, ^l������_ei. They acted as ii they thought turn God. Had he not acted unscllish- ?y i. Did he', not, for their sakes, step own from a place of eminence and .power? It was for them, that they nngnt become free men and free women, that he became an outcast and so- yuu-ned forty years in the solitudes ot lhe desert, keeping sheep instead of ruling men. _���������*���������_- .Marah the people made Moses ��������� thefr scapegoat; they threw all the i-tsi.-re of their misfortunes upon him.

Tho Paris correspondent of the "Lancet" relates that a - specialist In mental diseases was recently consulted by a man ot distinguished appearance, giving , an aristocratic name, who sought treatment for a daughter suffering from kleptomania. Suggestive therapeutics was instituted, and little attention was paid to tho propensity 'for misappropriation exhibited by the patient, particularly as the abstracted articles were returned the day after their removal. Finr_lly the physician missed a jewel box of value, but this was not brought back, and, on investigation, It was found that the address given was false, and that the pretended patient , and her father were crafty rogues. ��������� "Shooting the hat" Is a recognized festal occasion in New Orleans, the hat shot-being the straw, and the time being the -date .when, in the general opinion, summer has ended.

Resistance is seldom made to the despoilers, and when It Is, the police act leniently. At two or more chosen places in the city the hat is actually shot.

Having by iotir years of strenuous effort infused broadcast into the minds of Britishers and continentals the substitution of the nomen "prodigy" (oi "freak" in designating the members jf | their august profession, they have decided to start the reform movement in the United Slates of America. The wave was started on Sunday last, the : New York papers say. in the "Prodigy Department" at thc Madison Square ! Garden, when, thc Human Pincushion presiding, it was decided that their patience had been stretched too far, and tbat Mr. James A. Bailey, thc public, bouncers, pullcrs-in, hawkers, et al., be memorialized, through the facile pen of the Armless One, and the | humble request made that the more dignified name hereafter be extended to their honorable calling. Here is the letter sent to Mr. Bailey, by which it is hoped the reform will be brought about:��������� "Madison Square Garden, "April s, 1003. "Mr. James A. Bailey, Manager, Barnum & Bailey, Greatest Show on Earth: "Dear Sir,���������-We, the undersigned, members of the Prodigy Department, at an informal meeting held on April 5, were selected as a committee* to draft you a letter expressing our respectful though emphatic protest against the action of some person in your employ in placing in our hall a sign bearing the,, to us, objectionable word "freak," and permitting another person to call aloud, ''This way to the freaks,' and beg you to remedy both, these matters as soon as possible. "We are disposed: to consider both these actions .as oversights, or, because the person or persons complained of were unaware of how deeply we feel the application of the word 'freak' to us, and not to attribute either action to a violation of what you were pleased to abide by at our meeting of protest in London,' Eng.> three years ago. At that time, you will remember, Rev. Canon Wilberforce. of Westminster Abbey, suggested the word 'prodigy' as a substitute for the obnoxious word 'freak,' and which ft is but fair to yoti to say has been faithfully carried out while we were abroad in Europe. The reappearance of the objectionable sign here, it is needless to add, is equally offensive as it was in London, and the calling of "This way to the freaks' even; more so, and we feel sure that 'we have only to direct your attention to these fact's, inform you of our protest, and appeal to your sense of justice to have them immediately abolished.

The Cost of Radium. The most interesting thing about radium is not its cost, The London Chronicle says. Bitf' as one statement on this point is as good as another, let us say that a milligramme of radium would buy thc British Empire or, the entire planet ; it doesn't matter. That will strike people. This extraordinary substance is the most powerfully "radio-active" of all things known ; five hundred thousand times more so than its next 'known rival, uranium. Sir Oliver Lodge has pointed out that radio-activity rs probably a universal and fundamental property of matter. This substance can be left alone, untouched, for j-ears,; and glows and glistens untircd. Whence is this ? Radium takes up the vibrations in the ether around it���������this being much, more, probable than the statement attributed to Sir William Crookes: that it gets its energy from the air���������and transforms theiri into light and heat. It takes the light-waves of Roentgen and transforms them into visible light and plap- able heat. Experiments in Grafting. Spring is the time when dormant 6uds start to grow. For ages apple and other trees have been top-grafted in thc spring. According to the processes of nature there did not seem to be any other time to do the job. There was a man way out west who in his idle moments one Summer day cut a scion of the new year's growth, and, making a longitudinal incision ip a limb of an apple tree, tapered one side of the scion and put it under the bark. He forgot all about it until lhe nest spring, when one day he was trimming thc lice and to his surprise he found that the cut in the tree had healed and that the scion had united with the limb in close union arrd was ready to grow, lie did not disturb it, but watched it put out leaves, and later it made a vigorous growth. Realizing the importance of this summer grafting he put a large number of scions in the top of an apple tree that bore poor fruit. Most of these scions grew, and he cut off thc limb grafted the year before, throwing all the strength into the last year's scion. The result was a phenomenal growth. This pioneer, Theodore Vv'iiliams, .of Benson, Neb., has now practised this method three years, grafting all kinds of fruit trees in the summer. He has grafted cherry on to plum and successfully grafted deciduous trees. The operation is very simple : a child can do it. Mr. Williams' children, , eight to twelve years . old, have set thousands of scions, and do it, not as a labor, but as a pastime. As soon as the terminal buds arc mature in -the,summer this grafting operation can begin, and be kept up as long as the tree; is growing, so as to effect a union between the'scion and the inner bark of the limb. The best months for the operation have proved to; be the months of July and August. A limb can be grafted orr opposite sides ifv it is considered desirable, and when the limb is cut away it will have all the effect of two scions set in a stump, but one scion in a limb will usually do the best. By Ibis" method a tree can he relopped in two years. The method is the same that is practised in budding trees. The bark is cut in the same way and the scion is put in in the place of the bud. While no wrapping is 'necessary, it would be better,to .wrap the limb ; in;a wet season the water will run down into the slit, and in some cases rot will supervene before the wound closes up. This operation is so simple that any one who is the owner of a growing fruit tree can test it for himself. The scion is prepared for insertion.in the same way that it would be for a splice graft, and may be from two to six inches long, with .from one to four buds, besides thc terminal one. The orchard owner does not have to hire an expert to graft ; he can do it himself. Thc idea seems so revolutionary tjiat it is doubtful if it will take the place, of stump grafting, when renewing thc tops of _ trees that bear undesirable fruit,'-but some trial'will convince the tree owner ihat it can be done.���������C. M. Root. Omaha, in New York Tribune. Found Under the Sea. At the beginning of last year some aporige-fishers, says Mr. Edward Vicars in The Pall Mall Magazine, natives of the Turkish Island of Symi, in the course of their operations near the Island pi Anticythera, to the south of Cape Malea, descried at the bottom of the sea, at a depth of some twenty fathoms, a number of objects, which on closer inspection proved to be a mass of bronze and marble statues, whicli had evidently formed thc cargo of sonic shipwrecked vessel. Stimulated probjibly more by thc prospect of enriching themselves than by the arl- collcciur's enthusiasm, the fishermen hastened wilh tliis strange intelligence lo Athens. Realizing lhe significance of thc news, thc Greek Government al i once despatched to lire spot two ships of war, with whose assistance and under whose superintendence thc divers made a systematic search for the treasure, ln a short time they succeeded in bringing to the surface a quantity of objects, which were forthwith transported to Athens. Thc gem of the collection was the ligurc of a youth, rather more than life-size, of singular beauty and the finest Greek workmanship. This exquisite, bronze niay, without hesitaion, be assigned to the, age of Praxiteles, to whose lovely Hermes found at Olympia in 1877, and: now* in the museum there, the head bears a certain resemblance. Indeed, it is not too much to say that at ��������� last the Hermes of: Olympia has a formidable rival to his claim to be the most beautiful statue in the world. Mr. Vicars describes the process: of restoration. The head had escaped injury, but the rest of the statue was iu fragments. The work was done by M. Andre of Paris, for:i 20,000 francs (������8ob). He first constructed a sort .of skeleton, on which he built up the statue, piece by piece/ beginning with the lower extremities. Whenever two fragments required to be fastened together the edges were joined by very powerful cement, and the pieces riveted on to a framework of copper bands, which supported and braced them frbrii inside. When each of the fragments had been thus securely pieced together, each in its proper place, the missing parts had to be restored. ��������� When the figure had been completely rebuilt M. Andre proceeded to cover the rivet-heads with a kind of putty, and then treated thc whole surface with ' a bronze-colored preparation, so as to make, it of uniform hue and consistency. The strong Jacids in which the fragments had been immersed for many weeks, for thc purpose of removing the incrustations which so thickly coated them, had taken away all appearance of bronze from the metal, and left it of a dull black." It was accordingly found necessary to restore the original color by artificial means; and, though it may not be altogether pleasant, when gazing at this exquisite figure, to reflect tliat the fine bronze hue is the result of a thick layer ,of paste, which, moreover, conceals rivets and seams and joints, it must be remembered that without these aids it would not have been possible to restore the statue at all. The statue is supposed to represent Paris ..holding out*the Apple of Discord. DEMONS OF INDIGESTION. Dyspepsia and Other Stomach Disorders The Cause of Endless Misery.

The following is told in The New York Tribune :���������Joaquin Miller, the California poet aud naturalist, was an intimate friend of P. T. Barnurn. They met abroad many years ago, and kept in touch until thc greijt showman died. Many are the stories which the old poet likes to tell oi his friend, "the "great" American-'numbuB,���������-siid-one-of them is thc true story of the greatest "humbug" whicli Karnum ever perpe- ir'atcd���������"thc Wild Man of Borneo." "It came about through Mr. Bar- num's love of temperance and his great kindness of heart," said the poet, in telling the story recently to friends. .VAn old sailor who had been everywhere and seen everything came to Barnum one afternoon in Bridgeport, Conn., and asked him to buy some things which he had carved from wood on his last voyage across the Pacific. He was ragged, hairy, hungry and altogether a terrible specimen. '"Where have you been V asked the showman. " 'Been to Borneo,' answered the old sailor. " 'Well, you look it I Come in and sit down. We are Just going to have supper.' ........ "The sailor did come in, and after thc meal begged Barnum to lock him up in a cage, a cage with iron bars, that he might refrain, from drinking. Thus.*was the 'Wild (Vfan of Borneo', conceived, and everyone who attended a Barnum show remembered 'what an object of interest Ire was to the small boys."'''. Knew About Toothbrushes.

And he stamped his foot, not in consternation, but in vivid anger. Norma looked at him, half in hope and half in fear. There was moro to tell him, unhappily. "It's true," faltered she. "Really, really true. Astley, I've seen her. She came here: she tried to force her way into the room when you were lying ill. And you ���������'that's the worst part of it all, I think ���������even in your delirium you recognized her voice, her footstep!" But, earnest as her tone was, clear ns were her words, Astley persisted in his attitude of utter disbelief in her story. "Oh, no, no, it's some trick," said he. "It's sonic plot laid by that doctor nnd his precious wife. Oh, I know it is! I'm sure of it. Only wait till I've come face to frtco with tlicm, and you'll sec." He had turned awny for a moment, so angry that he could scarcely trust himself to speak. Then lie c.guin faced her, with his eyes aflame.

"They mado you pay, of course. Tell me, you had to pay her something, had you not? Ah! That was what you were doing out in the orclrardl Come, you may as well confess, since I've mode a good guess." Reluctantly Norma,acknowledged that he was rigiit. "I did give her some money," she admitted, imploringly, "but she was not rude' or cruel to me. She was gentle, ashamed of herself. I felt half sorry for her, 1 did indeed!" "Sorry!" cried Astley, "sorry for this Impostor, this adventuress!" "I shouldn't havo been sorry if I'd thought she wns thnt," said Norma, earnestly, "but indeed I'm afraid you won't think that either when you come face to face with her. * Sho wanted to see you, you know." "She said she did," retorted Astley, obstinately. "But you'll find, when it comes to the point, the lady will have disappeared. Oh, to think you could be taken in so easily! Come, kiss me, child, kiss me; you are my wife, never fear!" And he flung his arm round her, and, with a loud laugh which was not as hearty as he intended and believed, pressed his lips to hers, and told her not to be afraid. But through all his almost boisterous assurances that all would be well, Norma- detected a vague, unacknowledged uneasiness; and she was not surprised when he presently sank into moody silence, and sat back in his chair, with an air of reserve and gloomy foreboding which contrasted strongly with his first Tcccption of the news. She, on her side, had by this time grown so accustomed to the * miserable position of affairs that she was complete mistress of herself, and waa presently able to steal gently to Astley's side, te thrust .a loving hand, into his, and to *try_ to console him for the fresh misery which, so ahe declared, it was she herself who had brought upon him.-. ��������� By this time he was feeling ill and weak from the strain of "strong emotion, aeting upon a frame enfeebled by fever and'by-his premature exertion of the afternoon. ���������' , He began to shiver again, and Norma was full of fears for him, and. dreaded en recurrence of the fever that night. Astley was rather glad of these symptoms, since they gave him a right to her renewed attentions. When she expressed her intention of sitting up with-him, he made but a faint murmur of pio test, and,she felt comforted in her heart of hearts at having this excuse for remaining near him.

"And' if���������supposing you eari't prove anything. \ou know they say you can't." "I don't believe it," said he shortly. "The information 1 received about her conduct was, too cireuinstairtiirl.

Not for myself. Really." Then she ran back again, and he, after a moment's hesitancy, restrained his inclination to go back to hur, and saying, in a low voice: "Thanks, thanks, dear," he left thc room quickly.

The whole house 6eemed "to wean a sort of ostentatious air of being inhabited by people who thought themselves of moie importance -'than 'their neighbors, so Astley thought'as he' got down from tlio dog-cart aud walked up the garden-path.

And, scarcely uttering the last words in a voice loud enough to be heard, she buried her face in her hands, and, leaning against the mantelpiece, sobbed as if the very springs of life and joy were broken within her.

Wondering, doubting, uneasy, yet touched to the quick by her distress, he drew near to her step by step, until he was able to lay his hand lightly upon her shoulder. The thrill which ran through hex, the sigh which escaped her lips seemed to be answer enough to his doubts. "_vly wife," said he, below his breatk, "my little wife, look up at me, look up, I say. Don't you know that even if you did marry me at a registry oflice you are bound to obey me?" , His playful tone, which yet did not hide the 'deep earnestness underneath, forced from her another cry, more heartbroken than before.

He wns snappish, peremptory, irritahlo beyond his it orrt. She went back to her room, and heard with a fast-beating heart the wheels of the doctor's gig on the drive. She had wanted an explanation with him above all tilings, and slie dreaded the attitude Astley was taking up. When she went downstairs, and sat alone at breakfast in the dreary morning-room .at the front of the house, Wharles, but her widowed sister, Mrs. Finch, came in. Ho bowed coldly to them both. "Where is Lottie?" he asked abruptly. "She worr't come," said Mrs. Wlnulcs. "Sho's afruid of what you would say to her." Astley shrugged his shoulders. "She must ijak that," said he_shortly.

" 'This is inexcusable,' said he, 'when a man loses golf balls in such a way as this he either ought to find them or give up the game for good, lt shows .very weak character.' "That last ball had gone Into a pond, and there seemed to-be something so ridiculous about the idea of a man searching a place like that for a ball that all of us, the doctor, the student and I, began to laugh. "The pond was near the end of the links, and it was a slimy bit of water. It was Just about wide enough, to get a ball over it. There might have been bo trouble provided that were dry land for that distance, but the shine of the water always made you pause and wink. and think, and as a result the ball generally made a gentle little splash,' and you stood on the bank expressing .your feelings as beet'you could. ^"The caddies grinned behind their* nands as Slimson slowly took off his ���������variegated stockings and'rolled up his abbreviated trousers. He was a sight. The edge-of, the pool was lined .with black slime, and as Slimeon went'in he nearly fell, into the pond. Hs caught himself Just in time, and started at the exploration again. He had a sapling ln one hand, and he locked for all the world like an Indian wading a stream to hide his trail. "He stepped on a tin can and rolled and pitched like an Atlantic liner ia heavy seas. The water was above his knees. He stooped down and plunged his arm down, to the shoulder. Tho .sleeve of his resplendent shirt had been insecurely rolled. It slipped > from Its moorings and was dyed by the blackened water. He lifted up his clinched fist and broughtvup what looked like a bit of coal. He washed the black .thing about ln the water a little, and there, sure enough, was a golf ball. " 'Well,' said I, 'I hope that you aro satisfied. Do you thiult that it paid for all the trouble?' "He did not say a word., He went groping around the bottom o������ .that pond and brought up another ball. He kept right at it, arid when he waa through he had rescued thirty-seven halls.

In a recent letter to the London "Tiures" .Mr. "Cox quoted from Ilie speech in 'question as; follows: "I, was a free trader before'I rami to England. I am still more a free trader, having seen ..what free trade has done in England. You have whal is sometimes, 1 believe, in this coimtrv termed one-sided free trade; The im presaion which T have gathered from what I liuve seen irr -'Europe is that England Iras nothing to fear for-her commercial supremacy so long as sin lias "one-sided free trade."

There are partie.** ���������wiio hope to maintain the British Empire on lines of restricted trade, ll fie British Empire is to be maintained ( it can only be. upon tlie most absolute freedom, political and commercial. In building up this jji-eat Empire, to deviate fronr tire principle of ii-eeilom will lie to so much weaken the ties and the bonds which rrow bind it together.'' and he concluded his letter with the following rea.*.:*iial>le deductions: "The Cobden Club adheres to the views then so ably expressed by its gold medalist, and therefore is opposing to the best of its ability a scheme which, H carried into effect, would certainly wreck the Empire.*' Bui. the G'ohdeu cltrb has seen through lire Simiiy Smilor's Iiu le game and a short time ago issued Leu Hot _STo. 1211 which slates: "Bol'or-o giving a pi-eforaioe lo British goods Lire Laurier Ministry wa.s caiefnl to raise the dirties on col ton goods largely coming from ('rent, Hri- tain, while lowering or abolishing tlie duties on raw materials coming fronr the United States.

The mor���������(��������� important* branches of American trade arc encouraged by the Canadian tarilf, while most branches of British trade tiro discouraged." These extracts are not from a Canadian newspaper Ural might be biassed in its utterances, but from official documents of the Cobden club.

The latest result of the deliheralioris of the mixed pickle government at, Ottawa, of course assisted by subsidy hunters, is a contract with thu Grand Tiimk Pacific lor the Dominion to build a railroad from Moncton, N. B., via Quebec, to Winnipeg, and then hand it over to that company for a period of fifty years. The company will, for thc first five, get it rent free; after that, for live years, for the profits on local business, iind during the. ha In nee of tho time will pay a, rental of 3 per cent.' on the cost of constructing the roadbed. It is stated by the "Globe" that "other railway companies are to he granted running rights over the Wiriiiipcg-Morictoir section. 'Phis is to be a matter of 'mutual agreement, and in the event of I'ailrne to arrive at, a friendly understanding, the Government will presort be the terms, subject, of course, to the rights which tlie.

This is us it should be. The road is one that will be for the general good of Canada, and a*** the Dominion authorities have been so liberal, there will be no excuse for the company asking anything else. In view of this, there should Ire no chance of another lobby similar to that which distinguished the Canadian Northern proposition, and the Province will bp s-ived .1 repetition of the attempted steal by -Mr*.

Earth-worms have a reason for being ever so much more important than to serve ;is bait for fishermen. For all their* lowly estate, few creatures have done more for mankind. Earthworms arc not merely tire original ploughmen���������they have brought about tho condition of the earth's aiirfaea that makes other ploughing possible and profitable. Field crops, for the most part, grow and feed upon vegetable mould-���������tho layer of warm Unlit, brackish earth resting upon the sulisoil. Save by Knicc of tho earth-worm vegetable 1110I1! would exi*;i only In thoso place:! where dead leaves ami decaying growths generally resolved themselves Into their original elements. Tho earth-worm, which may ho described ns an embodied 1 tiling���������animal 111 turd dead ones, twigs, leaf stalks, small stones and earth. Thc residuum of all ho casts up on tlio surface at the rate , throughout pastures and garden ground, of some ten tons a year. Continue tho process a hundred years or even fifty and many inches of tint. friable, productive soil result. lioyond all that, their burrows le. down light and air from the -subsoil. Sometimes the burrows run six fefit deep. In winter the worms hihornato In roundish chambers at tho bottom. The chambers are lined with very email stones or hard, rounded seed. __ dozen worms sleep together, knotted into a squirming hall. It is only ia the winter sleep that they are thus gregarious. At other times (hoy !_o in pairs. Though they do not in captivity appear very sensible of either cold or heat, in Uot, dry weather they go almost as far down as thoy do la .Winter. Eyeless, they have yet a certain perception of light, retreating before it to their burrows. Vibration also affects them���������hence, say the country folk, the woodcock's habit of drumming to call them out of the ground. Their souse of smell is acute, and by the help of it they find tlieir food, cither buried or lying upon the surface. As soon as it is found the worms drag it to the burrow. They burrow by pressure of their smooth ringed bodies and by literally eating out tho earth ahead. The digestive apparatus includes a crop and gizzard, like those of birds. After the manner of .birds' the gizzards arc kept supplied with I small stones to servo as millstones in grinding down the food. The burrows are plastered all round with the finely chewed earth, and keep shape often long after they are untenanted. From the dead loaves which make so largo a part.of.' their food the worms secrete hum tis' acids, which attack and help to dissolve tho rocks buried in the soil. Tims tho earthworms not merely transform tho soil: chemically and mechanically but add to the bulk ot it since soil of every kind comes from tlie disintegration of rocks.; Further, many loaves dragged down into the* burrows are only partly oaten and decaying, furnish gases which permeate the soil and react upon its mineral element. .Earthworms are the best allies of those gentlemen the antiquaries. A coin, an arrow head, a spear point, aa inscribed slab, a lessclated pavement. they hurry, surely, safely, to await tha day of resurrection. The burying is done in two ways--by castings spread above the thing to be buried, aud ".? undermining tho soi! oeue-uh. Eac**. honeycombed with burrows sings in times of heavy rain or frost. Thus, ir. course of a thousand years, an object may be many fee: under tho surface, yet remain exactly as it fell. Indeed the wise men declare the earthworms In the mass, keep the whole face of tbe planet iu a state of gradual evolution.

More than one terrible naval catastrophe has resulted from faulty construction, the modern Iron or steel battleship being far mo.*, dangerous than Iho old wooden wai: chip. Such a vessel Is likely to "turn turtle*' and go to the bottom within a few minutes, whereas the wooden war ship, though full of water, would float.

She was 320 foot long, with a beam of 53 feet, a draught of 25 foot 9._ inches, with a freeboard of only C feet S inches. The turret urmorwas 13 to IS ..inches thick, and that on the water Hue 6 to H inches.

"Prewarlcate, is it!" exclaimed the witness; "I'm thinkln', me lord, It's yerself wouldn't be able to help prewarlcatin' if three or* four of your lordship's teeth ,wor knocked out of your head!" "Not guilty, me lord, but the Jury advises the prisoner not to do It again," was lire verdict in a case tried in Tip* perary, and this Iras its counterpart in thc verdict of 11 Galway Jury, "My lord, we find the man who stole the horsr. not guilty." "IIow can you swear that the bona /amid In this man's yard belonged to you?" asked a lawyer of a witness who appeared against nn alleged chicken thief in Waterford. "By the kind, sor." "Why, that is absurd; 1 have some Ilka theni myself." Quick as a flash of lightning tho witness replied, "Very likely, sor, I lost some a bit before this man look thim this loimo." In a northern court an old woman was exceedingly garrulous, and Insisted In tolling the court what she would do If she were on tiro bench. Tha judge at last exclaimed. "An old woman Is not fit for Iho bench."

She was a slim, dark little woman, Willi iron-gray hair i rushed back smoothly from a slaniir.f. wrinkled forehead, and deep lines ft -rowing her face from nose to mouth, i'n- still wore rusty and much patched liiack for the husband who had not Wen good to her and was dead fifteen years. Over at the table. Mary Alice, her daughter, hulled ���������strawberries. She also was spare, and little and swan like her mother, but lier eyes were .setter and kindlier than the woman*.*-, nnd there were gentler lines about h.*r well-shaped mouth. She was thiity :.nd looked much older. She suddenly glanced up from the berries. -Mother, "Wednesday night John Mason asked inc.* to marry hiin," she eald, and a touch of warm color Hushed Into her sallow cheeks. "Can I have him?" Mrs. Fenton*.. sewing dropped to her lap. She folded her arms and turned around in her chair so that ���������he might face the speaker. , "Well, I declare. So at last he's bed the gumption-to pop; after ten years, too. Well, if that don't beat me. After ten years akeepin* steady* cornp'ny to up an' ask you now! Wensday night, you say? This's Saturday, Mary Alice Fenton. Is lt only now you've thought to tell me, your mother?" She picked up her sewing and began to stitch furiously. "In my day children acted different with their parents. They Knowed how to honor an' respect them. Wensday night, an' only now you tell me." Then she raised her head and; looked ..cross at the girl in time to see her abstractedly put a strawberry in her -mouth. '���������Mary Alice," she snapped, "If you ������0 an* eat all the straw-berries there won't be none left for tea." "I only toot: one," Mary Alice hastened to explain humbly. "Don't take none, which will be less," ber mother commanded. "Mother, John wants my answer tonight," Mary Alice persisted. "Can I have him?" -Mrs. Fenton laid down her sewing ��������� ngain. "Mary Alice," she began, "far be it from me to say anything agin your bavin' John Mason. Far be it. But mebbe you'll tell me what'll become of me, your mother, when you'll go off un' git married. I suppose it'll just be the poor-house for me. I'm not ez young ez I used to be, an' I can't go out an* work. I suppose It'll just be the poor-house. Well, well." And she kept nodding her head slowly, saying, "Well, well." "--Her daughter's voice shook unsteadily. '. . -'������������������fron make me feel very badly, moth- -~-*er. talking that way. Why, you will tome to live with us, of course���������with . John and me." * Mrs. Fenton stiffened up very - straight. _���������'���������'.*������������������.���������'. "Mary Alice Fenton, I'll never live -.-en-any one's floor but my own, please God.

The girl locked at the gray-haired : ���������woman, with the deep lines seaming her face, and the indomitable chin. She ; ���������would keep her word, she always did. : ���������and go to the poor-house. Mary Alice fat down again without saying a word, but her hands were clinched -���������until the knuckles shone white, and f .<,- nails sank Into the flesh of the ; -���������.alms. : "Very well, mother," she said; I -won't marry John Mason." "Oh. have him." Mrs. Fenton advised In indifferent tones. She knew sho bad conquered. "Have him, you're that -set on lt. In my day gii hed more modesty in them. Now it's all differ- ; ent. I kin see you're fa."w crazy after * him, so take hiin. You'll never be able I lo tell how that I did a single thing ��������� to prevent it." j Mary Alice swallowed hard. Her j dark eyes were filled with tears. "AVhat will everybody say? What will John ; ���������jay when I tell him? After going with | frim fnr tec -j'.cars. Besides, I am he had disti thirty. It will be my last chance." She looked wistfully at her mother, but the woman had resumed her sewing, and her mouth was grim. Then the glti bent over the berries again. "There is nothing left for mo tb do but refuse him. I shall tell him to-night. Oh, dear, what will everybody ln Boisville say? What will poor John say ?" "Mother, I shall tell John to-night that I cannot mi *ry him," she said aloud to her mother; and Mrs. Fenton, after sewing a little while silently, then declared, "Well, after all, you do take alter me In some things, Mary Alice. That's just what I'd a-done for my mother. You're not altogether like the Fentons. You have some of my ways in you." The woman looked utterly satisfied. That evening a few minutes after eight Mrs. Fenton called upstairs to Mary Alice, "Mary Alice, John hez came." The girl, who had been rendy and waiting half an hour, slipped down to the parlor. John, a very stout, red-raced young man, was standing nt a table looking over the family album. He immediately put down the book upon Mary Alice's entrance, and walked over to the black hair-cloth sofa In one corner and seated himself. Then he patted a place beside him and looked over with a playful smile at the glil. John alwtiys went through this performance and Mary Alice, always nfter a series ot shy giggles and blushes, would seat herself beside him glrrger-Jy and on the very edge of the sofa. But to-night she stood in the center of the room and twisted and twisted into a hard little ball her handkerchief. Her eyes showed traces of weeping and her pool- little face was puckered up with her emotion. "No, John, I can't, not to-night. And I want to tell you something. I want to tell you that���������that���������I want to tell you that I can't marry you!" Then she was silent and looked with frightened eyes at her lover. John slowly pulled out a great red cotton bandanna handkerchief' from his pocket and started to wipe carefully away the beads of perspiration that had suddenly started out on hi., forehead. He looked terribly dazed. "Why, Mary Alice, what has struck you? You are just fooling now, aren't you?" "No, I am not fooling," Mary Alice answered. "Do you think I could fool on such a subject, John? I Just cannot marry you���������I cannot, John." "State reasons, state reasons." John eald, In businesslike tones. "Well���������well���������oh, John, iny mother does not want me to get married, at least not yet," the girl answered, in a trembling voice. "For God's sake when does she want yciu to gel married?" John burst out "When you are fifty, eh?" He laughed disagreeably. "I've been coming here long enough for her to say that before this )ato day. Are you going to do what she says?" "I shall have to do just as mother wishes," Mary Alice said, in a. thin, little voice. "I always do. I'm awfully sorry, John. Indeed, I liked you. I'm awfully sorry." John stood up and stuffed his big bandanna handkerchief Into his pocket. "Well, all I can say is that you'll be sorry. It Is easy enough for a man to get a woman, but not so- easy, for a woman to get a man. I guess you are about losing your last chance, Alice. Well, I guess It's not any of my funeral," and John! tried to look jauntily indifferent, but failed. Hi- reached the door and stood there with his hand on the knob. "You don't think you might change your mind, 'eh; Alice?" he asked, and gazed wistfully at her. "You are old enough to do just ���������as you please. Why don't you marry me whether she wants it or not?" But Mary Alice cried out sharply: "Oh, I could, not, ,Tc_!.n* l must do as illy mother wishes." John opened the door and stepped Into the hall. "Well, I guess you'll regret it all right," he said. M'ary Alice.leaned toward him and put a hot little hand on his coat sleeve. "John, I shall regret it whilst t live. But I must do it for my mother's sake. Be sure that I shall always regret it." "Yes, I think you will.*' John answered. "Well, it's not my funeral," but he looked as if it was; and then he ���������backed out of the front door, turned down the stoop, and walked briskly away. Mary Alice stood where he had left her, and watched him unt appeared from view. Three weeks later, when Mary Alice reached home one evening from the factory, she was qui:'"* ristmrnded to find her mother bustling ahout the kitchen getting supper ready, attired in her best black gown���������one never worn but on Sunday**. But the wonder of it all was that Mrs. Fenton had a ribbon of cherry-colored silk twisted "_:rnra"i'ilfer-'"5ec_-"im underneath her chin���������h.**r mother who had not worn a bit of color for ftfu*e.-i years. Mrs. Fenton's hair, too, was elaborately frizzed, and stack Into lhe faded gray knob on the top of her heart was a tortoise-shell cninli that had he- longed to maiden days. Mnry Alice was so surprised she did r:Ot remove her hat and coat at once, but s.*u down on the nearest chair, and gazed wide-eyed at the woman. "Well, what yer lookin* at?" Mrs. Fenton said, hoc not ungraciously. She felt at the bow underneath her chin, ���������_nd the comb in her hiti.. Then she .Tttnt over to the mirror hanging above the table and took a orilic-il survey of herself, twisting her head about, in all directions. "What yer lookin- at?'* she asked again, when she turned around. ������������������Why, mother, when*- .are you going?" Mary Alice a...U****i. "I ain't, goin' a place," her mother answered. Then she came up iiulle close to the girl. "Mary Alice, guess who's a-com.n to-r.i-rht to see me. Just, gue-ss." She lit-r.L over the girl and said slowly, In most Impressive tones: "Martin Schwart:.. the hui.cher! He up an' ast me to-day. when he brung the meat, to keep cornp'ny with him. Oh, men is sly, I tell yer." Mrs. Fenton chuckled pleasantly. "Who'd a-thought he hed his eye on me all the time? But so he did. Well, Mrs. Schwartz hez been dead goin' on five years, an' my man's been gone fifteen, an' wu/.n't good to me, so I guess nobody kin say anything. I always believe In not glvin' any one anything to ������ay. Well, he's a good man, an' that's all a woman kin ask or git. I don't think red looks half bad on me, eh, Alice'." Mary Alice did not answer her. Sha took oft her hat and coat and sat down St the table to supper. But there was a, lump ln her throat to prevent her eating. Mrs. Fenton talked and talked of Schwartz, the great, fat, vulgar butcher, and was so preoccupied and interested ln her own happiness that she failed to notice the distress of the girl. Finally Mary Alice got away from the table, and immediately went upstairs to her own little room ln the attic. On a table in one coiner was Ink, a pen, and some writing paper. Mary Alice took up a sheet of the note paper and, dipping her pen in the Ink, started to write:, "Dear John ��������� I was all wrong. I have changed my mind. Please come back to me. I am not going to give up everything for mother. She would not do the same for me. Dear John���������" The light wns getting so bad Mary Alice laid down her pen, and, going ovor to the one small window, threw out the shutters. Two were coming down the village street together. Mary Alice leaned far out over the window- sill to watch them, for both seemed familiar. They came near, and passed. One was John Mason, and leaning upon his arm wa.s the prettiest and silliest girl in the village. Mary Alice pulled In the shutters again, and taking her unfinished letter, she tore It into tiny scraps. Then she threw herself upon the bed, and buried her wet face In tho pillow.���������"Everybody's Magazine." Wit and Wisdom from New Books, (From the "Era.")

He offers his parallel (and prophecy) In these words: "In a rough way his (the Boer's) case bears analogy to that of the strange community of English Boers who with a peculiar religion, hardy constitutions and boundless ignorance, penetrated the American desert and created a splendid Isolation for themselves In Utah. These people asked no favor of the United Stuten, save to he let alone. . .

That they might have a better chance of missing one another, they were to fight in a dark room. The Englishman fired uip the chimney and brought down the Frenchman! "When I tell this story In Paris," added Rogers, "1 put the Englishman ���������up the chimney." James G. ' Blaine used to tell this story: Once in Dublin, toward the end of the opera, Satan was conducting Faust through a trap-door which represented the gates of Hades. His Majesty got through all right���������he was used to going below���������hut Faust, who was quite stout, got only about halfway ln, and no squeezing .-.-mid get him any farther. Suddenly uu Irishman in the gallery exclaimed, devoutly, "Thank ,God, hell is full." When Moses Colt Tyler, the celebrated professsor of history at Cornel). was an instructor at the University ot (Michigan, he had charge of a cli. *s in English that assembled at S o'clock a.m. One raw February morning a.t roll-call, he read the name of "Mr. Bobbins," a member.of the class, without getting an answer. "Mr. Rob ns," he repeated in a slightly louder voice. Still no reply. "Ah," said the Instructor, with a quiet smile, "come to think of It, it is rather early for robins." Once during a heated debate between Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, and Senator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, the question ot law in Texas and law in Ohio came up. The passage .became warm. Foraker, by way of a parting shot, told Bailey that if he would come to Ohio he would learn a great deal or law that he did not know. "If there Is so very much law to be learned in Ohio," remarked iBalley, "I must advise the Senator to spend all Ms spare lime there. He needs It." A somewhat apocryphal anecdote of Sir Wilfrid Laurier is going the rounds of the United States press. During the last general elections, it Is related, a Quebec Liberal/whose acquaintance with Sir Wilfrid was only political, sent this telegram to his leader, who was In Ontario on a speech-making tour: "Report in circulation in thla county that your children havo not been'baptized. Telegraph denial." To: Which despatch the Premier sent this reply: "Sorry to say report ta correct. I have no children." Dr. M-acNamara, in his collection of Chili stories, telle one concerning that wonderful dream of Jacob's and the angels going up the ladder to Heaven. "Please, sir." asked one of the boys in the class to which the story was being rehearsed,������������������ '.'why did the angels want ���������to go up the ladder when they had wings?" This nonplussed the teacher, who took a strategic movement toi th. rear by saying, "Ah. yes! Why? Perhaps one of the boj-s can an., wer that." And one did. "Please, sir," t������aid he, "because they was a-molting." Thomas A. Edison is deaf, but, like many whose hearing is defective,, ho sometimes understands what, is said when it is least expected.
