In His Father's temple ���������seems lo have come to Him the first deep breath of the divine tragedy and triumph in which He was to be hero Land conqueror. Jesus at the carpenter's bench. His fellow-townsmen cried in contempt, "Is not this the carpenter?" Their scoff is Hi.** gl-.rry; the carpenter is the world's Saviour. A pious Bishop i" the Middle Ages prayed often to God : that it mig.it hi manifested to him what Jesus.'di.'! in His youth. Then the Bishop .had' a dream. He saw a ���������carpenter work! ������������������.$ at his trade, and a little boy Irerile i.iim gathering chips.

Then it :'. work of the second rather than in one .moment on the cross; i.KU by one man's obedi- made righteous; then Poultry and Small Fruit. Keeping of poultry combined with tare of small fruit makes the land doubly useful and the profit more than double, as each crop assists in thc protection of the other, while the waste enriches the soil, and, if well stirred, rotation of crops and health of fowls are better than if cither is pursued ilone. With the exception of strawberries ind grapes, fowls enjoy thc shade of .���������he vines, without injury to the crop, ���������ind will do much good in picking up :he fallen fruit, and thereby destroying the worm, which does much toward preventing the.scourge of !:il absence of buttons on the coat.; there Is not a buttonhole In the lapel, and tha trousers are quite innocent of seams. The coat and vest are contortions ln black, the trousers a smudge In grey. "There were few of the pictures. Indeed, that portrayed a gentleman In ordinary dress that was the least bit.like what gentlemen of to-day' wear. ' "Coats are so miserably drawn that they bear no possible resemblance to tho originals." In one portrait "the right lapel Is at least five times as large as the left." while In another "there is one solitary buttonhole in the lapel, and that is large enough for three,and there Is not a single button indicated on either the coat or the vest." One coat presents "a style that no ono but. an old -woman who is brought Into the house sometimes to mend the clothes would adopt. It is a libel on tallordom." A reverend gentleman, alas! Is portrays ed with his sleeve half way up to his elbow. * . ��������� i ������������������...... "We should like to condemn' those who have produced them to wear only garments such as they have portrayed on their figures: they would then present such a pitiable spectacle that they would never dare to leave their homes." Dressing the Wirksworth Wells With fltHnrj mirth and jollity "Wirksworth, in Derbyshire, celebrated the centenary of the annual custom of dressing the wells or -taps." AU the previous night long ln the streets of Wirksworth the people worked hard wiUi mosses and llowers nnd grasses, drossim*; tlie wells, in annual pursuance ot a custom which ls really thousands of years old. It is chronicled by Seneca, and was carried out ln Pagan ritual by the Greeks and the Romans. When yesterday morning broke there were decorated shrines inside the old Derbyshire town, and flower-built structures hard by the gaunt quarries whore millions of tons of hard stone have been hewn out of the sides of the great round hills. Little boys and girls with strong Midland accents sprang out from tho small shrines and rattled mugs and asked the pusscr-by for a copper for the wull-dressers, and at the large shrlnea. architectural structures of noble dimensions and praiseworthy design and coloring, men and women kept watch and ward, and set white china bowls on snow, white table cloths for the reception or coins thrown down In admiration of the work. As a matter of fact, there wero no wells. Tho decorators piously erected monuments for the occasion In'*' places where the wells used to be before the prosaic days ot waterworks.

Unionist Fault-finders. The Parliamentary reporter of The Christian World says, in its Issuo of May 28th :���������There ls scarcely a sitting at which some of the most crushing criticisms ot the Government do not come from thoir own side. In fact, the lethargy of leading Liberals Is sometimes excused on the ground that lt allows a greater opportunity for the Unionist fault-finders. The opportunity was improved on Monday night, when Sir George Hartley sneered and Sir John Gocst scoffed, and when even faithful Mr. Klmber, and equally faithful Mr. Cripps, hotly denounced the constitution of the education authority designed for London. Passion flared up when Mr. Mlddlemor-e, one of Mr. Chamberlain's colleagues In the representation of Birmingham, Joined in. the denunciation. Mr. Walter Long aiid the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education, who were in charge of the bill, had been Impatient nnd disdainful under criticism,. Sir William Anson's attitude being that of an Oxford don among troublesome undergraduates. "Rubbish! ' exclaimed one Minister to the other. In an undertone. Tho word reaching Mr. Middlemore. he exoressed his enraged feelings with almost savage severity. It was generally supposed that the offender was Mr. Long, who carries on a. running commentary, but subsequent reference proved that the contemptuous word had fallen from Sir Willian Anson. "He speaks," said Mr. Middlemore, "as if he were one of: the deities���������ns if he wero omniscient. ��������� All the time, sir, he ls only an ignorant child of time, for whom it ls enough to follow his nivn nose." A roar of laughter from the Liberals greeted these words. They were uttered, as.Mr. Middlemore afterwards remarked, in "a moment of irritation," but thoy seemed to have been lying in his mind. They revealed in a flash how strained are tho feelings of certain Unionists. Boer Doctor in British Prison. The London Daily Mail of June 1 says:��������� Dr. F. E. T.

And then he -said the idea rushed into his head, of ���������what a good thing he could make out of .It if only he could induce her and Sir .Astley to believe that was true." Norma littered a faint exclamation. "Oh," cried she, "then it was you I saw .at Oxfordl Why did you go there, and follow him as you did, and run away .when you saw *me? Making me think ���������there was-something wrong?" "Why," said Mrs. Finch, drying her ' "Then this unlucky Rogerson," said Mr. Capper, "wns murdered, I suppose, because lie knew too iinteh, and threatened to tell." "Yea. Poor Tom Rogerson! He was really fond of Lotlie, and���������well, I don't want to say nny thing nbout either of them but just this. Tom Rogerson knew that Lottie was dead, and when he heard how Sir Astley was being tricked, he said it was a shame, and lie should let him know the truth. I don't say his motives were altogether disinterested: poor Tom didn't like work, and he guessed that Sir Astley would be grateful for any information which put an end to his anxiety. Bo lie came to Black- dale, and called at the doctor's house, and I believe there was a dreadful scene. Hut Tom stuck to his intention, and said he would meet Sir Astley, and tell him everything. And���������and���������you know what happened," she added in a low voice. There was silence for a space. Then Sir. Capper, who had been standing on tho hearthrug with his hands behind him, walked forward a few steps on the way to the door. "Sir Astley must know of this," he said. Mrs. Finch started again. "Sir Astley! He isn't anywhere near, is heT - I tlrought lie was in London!" cried she in alarm. "I don't know exactly where ho is, but he certainly isn't in London," snid Mr. Capper, with his fingers on the door handle. "Then I must go. I couldn't meet him, I wouldn't. And nor would my mother!" "How came yoii lo have the impudence to put in an appearance here, and to engage to bring your sister, when you knew you couldn't?" asked the lawyer abruptly* "We ' thought���������mother thought���������we could say she'd run away. And then��������� why we were going to chance what happened," said Mrs. Finch desperately. "The truth is, we have been living in such a state of misery and anxiety, always afraid of being found out, and wretchedly poor, boGause nearly all Sir Astley's money wont to Frank and his wife, that we'didn't know what to do. And when we were told we must come ���������eyes, and speaking freely, as if she found 'here, we were quite glad of an excuse for ��������� confession-a great relief, "I went to Ox- a, change from the life we'd been leading, ���������ford, when I found Sir Astley was there, - - - :*to beg him to help my mother and rne a .little. I knew very well we had no .right to expect any assistance from him, after the way Lottie had behaved, but ���������he is so good-hearted, and we were so hard up that I thought I would venture." "Then what made you shy at the last ���������moment ?" "Why, when I heard you, a lady, ask ���������for him, I thought* it would not do for me to intrude, and 1 went away..- And then I followed you both one evening, And I suppose, sooner or later, now that ���������well,.'now that Frank Wharles has got into this terrible plight, I suppose we' should have confessed everything, and thrown ourselves on Sir Astley's mercy.'*" "I don't think .you deserve much, frankly," said the lawyer, with a grim expression of face. "I���������don't���������think���������we do," sobbed Mrs. Finch. "And now, oh, do let us get away before Sir Astley comes, do, do let usl I wouldn't face him for the world!" . "You could face him" at Leamington though, and with a lie," said Mr. Capper -trying to screw my courage up, but st���������rllV "By the'by," hc went on, with -afraid it would be of no use, since he was Already married to someone else, so that le would feel there was iro tie, even the slightest, between us and himself any Eonger. ' So I went away from Oxford -without speaking to liim!" "If only you hadn't done that!" sighed Norma. "That was the beginning of the whole miserable affair. I wondered whether his wife was really dead after -all, and when Dr. Wharles said something about her, I asked the question ���������which unluckily put this wicked plot into his head!" , "I can't understand how you, Mrs. Finch, could evor have lent yourself to such a business," said Mr. Capper, very -sternly. She burst into tears again. "You don't know how ashamed of myself I felt over it," sire said, with her head bent down, wiping her eyes. "I was over-persuaded; my sister and her husband were in fear of nothing less than ruin: my mother was not well, and I liadn't money enough to get her the little luxuries she likes. And so, arid so��������� when the doctor urged and coaxed, and even threatened, 1���������1���������gave way, and came here, and���������and passed myself oil as Lottie." "But you tried to get into his room! a puzzled face, "how did you manage to pass yourself off to him as your sister? You are not very like her, and���������and, why, surely you were with me all the time!" Mrs. Finch hung her head. "'It was my mother���������you know she is very like Lotlie���������she pretended to be she. And in the darkoned room, where you couldn't see how-much older she was, and with some of the hair poor Lottie used to wear peeping out from under her cap, I myself thought she looked wonderfully, horribly like her!" "Oh, trickery, trickery, thy name is woman 1" muttered Mr. Capper. "There, go away, if you like. I don't suppose Sir Astley will be particularly anxious to see either of you!" But Norma stopped her. "I think you'd better see him," she said quietly. "He may have sorrre _ques- tions to ask, and you owe it to hint, as 1 think you'll admit, Ho give him all the poor satisfaction you can. I don't think you need hc afraid of liis not treating you even more generously than you have any right to expect." "Very well," said'Mrs. Finch, who was completely broken, very contrite, shy and miserable. "I'll go upstairs and see -An^������lhe4r'^ have been found out!" said Norma. do?-R nnd >va,t wherever you tell rae to." Mrs. Finch looked up, "I knew very well you'd never let me see him," she retorted. "I only pretended to.want to go in,-because, if'I hadn't, you'd have thought there was something wrong." "Well, if the plot wasn't of your devising, you took very nicely to deception!" remarked Mr. Cupper, dryly. She made a reckless gesture with her right hand. ���������'Since it had to be done, it wns ns well to do it thoroughly," she said. "And, I suppose there's deceit in the blood of all the family. One thing I must tell ���������you, though"-���������and she turned earnestly ���������to orma���������"I very nearly broke down and confessed everything when you took -me into your room and Were so kind to ���������me. If you hadn't been called away you would have known everything in another five, minutes." Norma sighed. It all seemed like a ���������nightmare, that she had gone through, ind she was trying to understand that -���������he was now wide awake. "And the letter," she asked suddenly, "the letter that Astley received, and was ���������lure was written by your sister, was Mint 1 forgery?'' "No," said Mrs. Finch. "It was not. 'When the idea of making up this story came into Frank Wharlcs' Trend, yoii remember that he went to 'Leamington, as lie said to find out the truth?" "Yes." "Well, what he really wanted was to ���������see us, especially nry mother, and to make sure of having n good, 3orrnd story, ithat had no weak points. And he rmii- mrrged among the things Lottie had left' behind, 'her desk, and lim- cupboards, mul he found this old letter, one of the (cores.she used to write and then never lend. If you remember, it said just this: "Wflrj-oir-rorgri-n mo for my u.ecuitT*r' "Yes, I rcmomber." "Woll, she inennt deceit of Another kind, something Unit could have been proved against her." "What n mass of trickery I" cried Mr. ���������Capper impatiently. Norma, ant silent, chilled wilh horror and disgust in the midst of the relief she isjl. She went quickly past them, and ran upstairs. "Do you think wc shall ever see her again? Or will she steal away before he comes?" asked Norma. The lawyer shrugged his shoulders as he drew on his gloves. "Impossible to say," he said. "Could anyone predict with certainty anything those wretched women would do ?" "Do you know," whispered Norma as she accompanied him to tlie door, "I feel rather sorry for her, just as I did before, when I thought she was���������the other woman. She seems so unhappy, so miserably, horribly ashamed!" "So she ought to he," retorted Mr. Capper quite fiercely, as he started in search of Astley. Norma tried to sit still in the drawing-room until they came back; but she found it: an impossible feiit. Wild thoughts, hopes, fancies, danced in her brain. Bhe could not believe her good fortune, and was forced to torment herself by imagining that Astley had grown tired of her, that he would rather have had Lady.Myfanwy for a wife than the wayward, wicked little girl whose:life he had saved..'.���������.������������������������������������* \And then, while she was still wandering 'up and: down, up and down, listening with pained ears.*������������������' to Mrs. Finch's eighs as she sat in the library, ready'to rush out and make confession, there was a tap at the window, and Astley, trembling, pale indeed, but with bright eyes and a different look on .his face from tho hopeless expression he had recently worn, demanded admission. Norma (lew to shirt tire inner door, *lrich she had left open, listening for his m rg, believing that ho would come in by llio portico entrance. Mr. Cupper hud discreetly left the fcronet to come across lire. Inwn by hirn- ���������Jcif; nnd the next, moment Norma unfastened* the window, nnd husband and wife were in each ot hoi's arms. "My wifo, my wife at Iastl Didn't I tell you it would conic true?" murmured Ire into her ear*. "Oh, Astley, is it line? Can you believe it? Do you love rrre? Aren't you *i*-od of me? Oh, it's too much, it's too much joy!" But the young baronet had not many minutes to spare at that time for his newly-found wife. There was another sentiment, a less tender one, in his heart. The resentment which, in the woman, was instantly swallowed up in happiness, burned high in his breast against tha two women who had so readily joined the scoundrelly doctor in the conspiracy against him. He went straight to the library, on hearing that Mrs. Finch was there, not apparently heeding Norma's prayer that he would not be harsh. But she need not have been afraid. Fmmeline Finch was so abjectly miserable that it was impossible for a kind-hearted man to do anything but let her off easily: and the end of it was, that though he bade her follow her mother out of the house, and never come there again, he promised them a small allowance to free them from the monetary troubles which beset them. "And you were a very silly woman," he added by way of postscript, as she left the house, "not to apply to me at Oxford boldly, and save all this horror." Then he wont back, and as the two sat together by the fire, too solemnly happy to talk much, the door opened, and there burst in upon them not only Mr. Capper, but Jack Wyersdale and Miss Brown, and Lady Myfanwy. "You've got to invite us to dinner, Lndy Darwcn, and let us drink your health in the most solemn manner!" cried Jack, who' was crazy with delight at the news which Mr. Capper had imparted on meeting them returning from a drive. "Why, you ought not to be glad, you know," said Norma, mischievously to him, in an undertone, while the others talked. "You seem to forget that you gave me to understand that you were desperately in love with me yourself." "Ah, well, so I was, so I was," said Jack, with a boisterous, boyish laugh. "That is, I was as long as I thought I had a chance. But I'm not one of those fellows who can sit and sigh for a woman who won't have anj'tlung to say to them," he added with a man-of-the- world air. "So I say honestly, I'm not jealous of Astley, not a bit." ., "And you'll marry Miss Brown, and live happy ever after," suggested Norma, laughing. "Well, perhaps I shall. I think I might do worse. She's a very decent sort of girl���������for an American!" 6aid Jack loftily, as ho twirled���������nothing, and tried to persuade himself that it was a moustache. Even Lady Myfanwy was nice. She had indeed taken a fancy to Astley, and would not have been sorry to console herself and him, if circumstances had permitted it. But, now that there was no doubt he was happy in the safe possession of a wife with whom he seemed thoroughly content, there was nothing left but to make the best of it, and to accept the inevitable in the shape of a new and amiable neighbor, with a good grace. The young people positively refused to go-back, home to dinner, although they were warned that no preparations had ���������been made for anybody. So' after a little waiting, and much tribulation on the part of the housekeeper, some sort of repast was spread for them all, and Jack made a speech at what he persisted in calling the wedding breakfast, although it was pointed out to 'him that there was no breakfast and that the wedding was an old affair. It was all the same to him. He thought that he shone as a speech-maker' and he was eloquent in the extreme. And they all had a pleasant' evening, clouded from time to time by certain uncanny recollections ,-of the past, of the tragedy whicli had so recently taken place, and of the further tragedy that was to come. It ,came sooner than thej' expected. Dr. Wliarles was arrested at Liverpool, as he and his wife were about to sail for America. But the wily doctor escaped the gallows. Probably he had been prepared for some sueh contretemps as this. For he had not been in the hands of the police ten minutes before he contrived to swallow poison, and in.' half an hour he was dead, in spite of every effort which was conscientiously made to save him. Mrs. Wharles disappeared from the sight of her mother nnd sister, and no one in Blackdale ever knew what became of ber. Poor Ned Raggett, though not exactly half-witted, never entirely recovered his normal wits after a relapse occasioned by the excitement of the adjourned inquest. He was taken on at Tho Haigh for such light work as he cared to do, and remained for many years the one sad reminder of a hideous tragedy. Astley arid his wife lived a very quiet life, ns if they never quite recovered tho "youtbful-zest~of"life~a^ those dreadful weeks laid upon tlrem. But they were happy, even happier than gayer couples, and Norma's gentle manners endeared her to her husband's,tenants and friends, as much as her earnest efforts to make him as happy as mortal could be endeared her to him. And when, five years later, thej' were present at the wedding of Jack (now {���������town into "Reginald") Wyersdale and Sadie Brown, the best wish anybody could give, the young people was that they should be ns hippy and devoted a couple as the baronet and his wife, who had made their way to.happiness through such a veritable sea of troubles..

CHAl'TKIl I. was many years ago���������before this era of steam, telegraph and electrical and mechanical development in fact, just previous to that very queer war of 1S12���������that lu a quaint old Dutch- built village of southern Hew York, lying not far from Hudson's noble river, there was living one Jacobus Bruyn, a substantial farmer, of the purest Dutcji lineage. On a beautiful sunny fall afternoon farmer iiruyn was sitting on the front porch of his tine old Dutch farm-house, lolling at ease in his great chair, and smoking his long, clay pipe with an expression of perfect contentment resting In his stolid features. He could well afford to take his ease. His broad acres of fat valley land had borne unusually abundant harvests, .and his capacious farm buildings were filled to overflowing. As he sat and allowed the wreaths of blue smoke to curl up about his swarthy, honest face, ho was listening With satisfaction to thc beating of tho flails of his threshers in the great red barn not many rods distant. The house of farmer iiruyn was built on the substantial, comfortable style of thc well-to-do Dutch burghers of the colonial period of New York history, it was a large stone building, whose heavy walls had been laid by those who evidently intended them to last lor generations. The great roof mounted up to a high peak, and sloped nearly to the. ground in the rear. The numerous windows, wilh their many little green panes of glass, hinted of light and cheerfulness within. Everything about the place was neat and orderly. Along the garden fence, at the end of the low krt.lt.n, was a bench, on which a row of shining milk-pans were sunning themselves. In-the rear a tall, sloping churning machine hinted at "one of the domestic occupations of the'place. The yard was not particularly spacious, but showed the supervision of sonic one with a love for order and beauty in clumps of shrubbery and beds of late, blooming llowers. It was evident who was the presiding spirit of this horticultural display, for a young' maiden was wandering among the flower beds, dallying with the plants ln a patronizing way that declared more plainly than words the deep interest of affection and guardianship.. This was Rosa, farmer Bruyn's only daughter, whose age, it was apparent from her looks, could not be far from eighteen. Moving gracefully about under the soft light of the clear autumn sky, her plain, neat house-dress contrasting with thc brilliant verdure about tier, the young girl presented a charming object to the eye���������and so thought farmer Uruyn, as he watched her from his seat on the porch. Her ligure was plumb and comely, although perhaps a trifle under size, and perfect health was indicated in the full, graceful curves of ier form, the rosy bloom uprn her checks ind the liquid clearness of her sott grey eyes. A wealth of rich brown hair liung about her shoulders In natural ringlets, unconiincd and untied, free to the kisses of the sun and the toyings of thc gentle zephyrs. No fairy creature was Rosa Bruyn, but a substantial bodily presence, who might have sat for Vie Madonna of some old Flemish pnirrt- *cr. The form, features and movements all Indicated a pure, healthy, womanly nature, capable perhaps of great devotion and tendenness, but one not lilco- Iv to succumb to any trial or duty of life. The house of farmer Uruyn sat some distance back from the read. Several tall poplar trees throw their���������'" shade along the roadway in front, and, at the upper edge of the yard,'some.clumps of--shrubberj���������actc-(l-n3-(i~partinl=scrccii*- to a lane that led to the outbuildings in the rear of the house. The rond in front wound down a gradual hill and down the hill the tail form of it young man could be seen drawing ���������near. Kosn'.-i wandering gaze had detected his approach, and, with a Buddcn Hush, she irew slowly away from her position irnong the (lower beds, and proceeded, is if inadvertently, up to the lane fence tmong the shrubbery. Iter movements were evidently observed by' tiro young aian, for he entered the lane, and, drawing near, placed his.hand on the fouee, gave a light spring, nnd bounded over, in a moment he hnd taken the blushing maiden In his arms, and pressed n iiss upon her brow .with all the ardor )f an accepted lover. .-���������.* ��������� "Freei���������why, Claude, what can you mean? One might suppose that you rejoiced that your aunt is worse���������perhaps upon the brink of the grave." A peculiar shadow passed over tho young man's face. "Do you think so kindly of me, Rosa?" he asked. "Or���������but, no; you read my feelings, and *-ou misinterpret them. Suppose aunt should die���������can I help it? I shall sorrow for her as sincerely as anybody; but I must own that there is a sense of freedom in the thought of my being my own master and coming into my fortune. What Is the use of denying or concealing it? I do not wish her dead; but I cannot deny that the grief I should feel ls tempered by the thought of the scope that will be opened to my hopes and ambition. There, there, little one���������don't look so grave. Remember, I have not been brought up to be sensitive. Aunt has not wasted any tenderness upon me, although I know she loves me well." "But, Claude, think how it would grieve her to the soul to dream for a moment that you could count up the gain her death 'would be to you." * "But she will not dream It, little monltress. No act or word of * mine shall add a pang to her dying hours. I shall do all and be all that duty and affection require. But can I help my natural feelings? I am not an angel ln human guise, like yourself, Rosa. I profess only one virtue���������a desire to be honest, and not to hide my real feelings for mere appearance's sake. It is not In my nature to play the hypocrite. I shall feel very badly if aunt dies. She has always been kind to me���������In her way��������� and I truly believe has loved me .with her whole heart. But it is only Just to remember that her way has always been a strange one, and that her guardianship has deprived me of .the rights and privileges In a large measure to which I was born. A strange, gloomy, eccentric woman, fixed in hep Ideas and Immovable in her' resolves, no one can tell the tyranny her government has exercised over me. And, by a strange fate, I have no escape from tyranny so long as she lives except at the peril of my fortune. Look at It!��������� with all her wealth, her farms, her boats, her ferries, her ��������� mills (there is an immense fortune stowed up somewhere.' and I the prospective heir), what pleasure or privilege has been mine in life that the veriest country lad ln the region could not enjoy? Aunt's love of hoarding has run away with her Judgment till her household has been kept as If we were predestined victims ot poverty. Rolff House has been abandoned to decay. As for me, the eccentric whim of my father has made me more subject to her than the veriest servant���������dictated "to ln my * education, curbed ln every natural wish and am vote my time to Improving myself, so that I may become more worthy of your love. I can't stay here, ln this dismal little village, to rust and fret myself to death. I must cultivate my talents. I desire to become a great painter. As soon as I am in a position to carry out my plans, I will tell you all my dreams, and I am sure you will sympathize with me. and take delight In my purpose to achieve talent and fame. It will not be so long that I will be separated from you; and we are young, Rosa, and can bear up under separation, and wait patiently for the happiness that will be ours when I return with some part of my ambition achieved to claim you as my bride." The eyes of Rosa Uruyn lit up for a moment, but she dropped them quickly to the ground, and was silent. At last she spoke quietly: "I hope your aunt will get well soon, Claude." The young man bit his Up and turned his face Impatiently* away. But his anger was only momentary. Turning his gaze back to the fair, grave young face before him, an expression of deep tenderness took possession of his handsome countenance. "Tou do well to .reprove me, Rosa." he said. "Yes, I, too, hope aunt will get well, and live many years. Then all my fine plans will be scattered to the winds, and I shall be sure of nothing���������not even of you." "But you know, Claude, we are oo young, yet ��������� and ��������� and father may change his mind when you settle down to steady habits. He thinks you are wild and reckless." "I see, Rosa," said the young man, with a return of the bitterness of his tone, "that even in your estimation to aspire to any life but that of a plodding money-getter ls to be wild and reckless," "No, no, Claude," she exclaimed hastily, "you know I do not think so. But you would not have me offend father?" "No, my love and my light!" he exclaimed, with a. glow of enthusiasm, "I would have you do nothing unbecoming your character as the purest and best girl ln the world. Better that I should suffer the wreck of every hope, but I must not linger. Tour father will begin to suspect something. Goodbye!" And, with a tender caress, he turned and, springing over the fence, disap* peared as he had come. *A. --. THEIR SILVER VVEDD. Only Tlma XillDCX Slur ..������������������i; A (Mint.

(so let us call the little old Dutch village), was a wooden, clap-boarded building, with three stories, a double-sloped roof, and many windows. It was a somewhat pretentious structure, and did a thriving business, for the village was on the line of an Important mail and business route, and the times were favorable to travel and convlvall.y. The, bar-room of I'.onk's Tavern, as the hostlery was ca'led, was the great meeting-place for the men-folk of the vicinity. Here they -athered of an .evening, and smoked th***ir pipes, and drank their flip or other decoctions, and told stories, talked politics and retailed the gossip of the vicinity. . It wis on the evening after the events detailed in the last chapter. The candles were lighted ln the bar-room, and the landlord was behind his bar answer. Ing the calls of his customers, who had begun to drop In.. He was a tall, grave _ _ _ man, with a complexion and skin like WtionT and left to'dream'of freedom (parchment, dark straight hair mingled and happiness only as possible through, with gray, and an almost preternatural.

"I know that It Is wrong, very wrong, for you to talk and think as you do. If I did not believe you to be truer at heart than you represent yourself to be. I should almost lose my, faith ln you.

Ringlets of fair, flaxen hair escaped, from' beneath his cap, and curled over a broad, ;white brow. Clear, mirthful blue eyes lit up a countenance in which the expression of geniality was offset by a certain air Bf over-confldence that almost Indicated recklessness. "And how's my little sweetheart?" he asked, releasing her form from his arms, and gazing upon her with undisguised admiration. "I am well, Claude," she replied. "Little need there ls to ask. And you appear well, too. But how is your aunt to-day?" "Aunt? oh, she ls growing worse." he replied. "The doctor told me since dinner that she is failing slowly but surely, and cannot possibly survive, long.

I fear, 11 your wishes are now realized, and you are given the freedom and opportunity you seem so to desire, you will only demonstrate the wisdom and prudence of your aunt's treatment of you." An expression of gloom passed over the young man's countenance. "Tou Judge me severely, Rosa," h'e said: "but I do not care for that. I do not plead the propriety of my feelings, but only that I cannot help them. Yel why should I not gratify my ambition? I am the son of a wea-lthy man; and In Justice and right should bo undisputed master of my father's estate. I do not long for vulgar display and pleasure. No, no; my desire is to travel; to store my mind with observation; to develop my taste: and, above all. to give myself opportunity for the study of the art that Is my ambition and delight. You forget that I Inherit a right to art. But has. aunt ever, encouraged me In my ambition? No: she has repressed.lt In every way. She would make of mo nothing but an overseer of laborers, and a hoarder of money. My soul loathes the life she would have me lead. Oh, Rosa, you cannot know how I long te be away, spending my days among the great galleries of Utrecht, of Munich, of Dresden, of Venice and Rome, drawing inspiration and knowledge from the works of the mighty masters of art. How can' I help the spirit that Is within me? At the mere thought of being able to fulfill my dreams, my soul Is filled with an ecstacy that seems to banish far from my sisht every other feeling and consideration."

To the Krtuor of lhe IlEi:.ii.n: Sill.���������On Saturday morning last, a number of -gentlemen waited upon Mayor O'Brien to enquire if the License Commissioners would alter their position in regard to the license granted for the sale of liquor during I be sports on the athleta* grounds on Monday nnd Tuesday. As a result of this interview the Mayor stated that he would call together the Commissioners and receive or consider any petition that, might he presented. In view of Ibis de;;ision a petition requesting the License Commissioners to rescind their action was circulated. In the course of the few hours at .the. disposal of the parties circulating the petition some ' 131 names were obtained representing all classes of citizens. The gentlemen bearing the petition were most kindlyi received and recognized the fact tbat the. town was with them, and with . sufficient time, could easily have secur: ed ehe names, of two-thirds of the citizens. At S o'clock on Saturday evening a deputation composed of Revs. O. Ladnerand W. C. Calder with Messrs. Landmark, Howson, T. Graham and T. More attended at tbe council chamber to present the petition to the Commissioners. - They, found instead a meeting of the sports committee with the Mayor acting as chairman. Tho Mayor asked the deputation if,.they had any communication to make." As the deputation had attended with the intention of presenting the petition to' the Commissioners this seemed a little extraordinary. In fact what was evident to the members of the deputation the whole matter was subjected practically to the decision of the sports committee, A most, singular thing was witnessed : the chief magistrate of the city and chairman of tlie License Commissioners abdicating his responsibility and submitting a high inor.il question to the decision of an unconstituted authority, and that, as far as could be seen, prejudiced. The Rev. Mr. Ladner in presenting the petition to the Mayor as chairman of the License Commissioners stated briefly the object and aim of the petition, the large* number of signatures, the heartiness and sympathy with which the bearers of the petition had heen received, that fully two-thirds of the citizens would have signed had there been time for such, that, it was the largest and most important petition ever presented to ~~sTicinrcoiirt,"concluding"with_an~oar-" nest request that the petition be granted. The Mayor alter the petition with signatures having been read by the city clerk submitted it to the consideration of the sports committee with the remark that "I see in looking ovor this list of names not inany'who have subscribed to the sports." Uev. Jlr. Ladner pointed out that while this in a number of eases Was true, yet many had not been asked, also that some of Iho largest comributors were, represented amongst the signers. This the Mayor admitted. Hev. Mr. Calder being asked to speak said that at the present singe he had nothing lo say when Mr. Wadman asked the question was it not better to sell the liquor on the grounds than have it sold in the hush out of ginger beer bottles, etc. Mr. Lindniark then spoke in favor of the petition and in.the course of his remarks pointed out that there was sufficient law to prevent the disposal of liquor in the bush. None of the other members of the deputation speaking the opinion of several of the sports committee was asked. There seemed to be some hesitancy on the part of the gentlemen when one of the members proposed that it would be better for the deputation to retire so that the sports committee could speak more freely. In this the Mayor iicqiii- eseed with the statement that the matter iv.6uld be discussed and the decision arrived at .submitted to the commissioners, the delegation .'being asked to retire. "Before doing so Rev. Air-. Calder risked the Mayor if they should have air opportunity of appearing before the commissioners and be said no. Mi, Calder then iu a brief speech reviewed the.-.situation answering Home of Ure arguments advanced Iiy members of tho sports committee, lie stated that there was no relationship between the selling of liquor surreptitiously nnd that under license. The one could lie met by the law, tho othor was legalizing n wrong. He pointed out that if Mr, Liuiyhton was I w* J already under expense through the granting of the license, if that was withdrawn the members of the deputation would see him reimbursed for any loss. Mr. Calder asked the question, even if Mi'. Laughton would be out of pocket what was his loss compared to the injury done onr young men and boys by this moral wrong. He pointed out that if it had been thought for an instant that* a body of merlin this community wonld have asked for such a thing or that a responsible body would h,i.ve granted this a stand would havo been taken to prevent the granting of the license. Air. Calder remarked that there was no antagonism between the delegation and legitimate sports. In this matter the committee had their entire good will. The delegation on request then retired. To this hour, beyond the fact of the sale of liquor on the grounds, the deputation have had no notice of the ollicial action of the License Conniiissioii.irs. In placing this statement before tin; public we do so in the interest of the moral welfare of this city and with the hope thai, there will be such air expression of opinion as to make any such experience for the future impossible.

In the newly published "Biography of Bret Harte" not the least interesting inci(lent_ narrated is the revolt of tho printer of the "Overland Monthly" against the appalling profanity of the editor in not merely accepting, bat in contributing to its second number, this blasphemous story. Bret Harte, as the editor of the new magazine, feeling that it ought to have distinctively Cali- fornian features, sent the manuscript of "The Luck of Roaring Camp" to the printer. The printer, little suspecting how ���������monstrous was tho birth ho was asked to assist, passed it on to his staff, who, mechanically, let us hope, set up the type. Tlie proofreader, a young lady, was, therefore, the flrst, most unfortunately, to rend, or to begin to read, the blasphemous production. When she had got over lire first shock, sho hurried to the printer, a church lncwibor, even a* deacon, and complained to Win of the outrage to which she hnd been subjected. He, hardly believing his ears, or even his eyes, hastened to the publisher, and laid before him the proofs lie should have sent to the author and editor. Thus it happened that the editor was summoned to account to the printer for his misdeeds��������� a delightful Gitbortian inversion. "The printer, instead of -returning the proofs to the editor and author, submitted them to the publisher with tihe emphatic declaration that the matter thereof was so indecent, irreligious and im- firoper that his proofreader���������a young ady���������had been with difficulty induced to continue its perusal, and that he, as a friend of the publisher and a well-wisher of the magazine, was impelled to present to him personally this shameless evidence of the manner in whicli the editor was imperilling the future of that eater- prise." But what, you ask, so horrified the young person? Why simply the scene whore Kentuek, after reverently fondling the ininnt, said: "ITc wrnstled with my finjier, the d d little cuss." When tslie came to -this a.ppalling passage, tlie proofreader, like Franccsca, "read no more that day." Dear old James Payn used to relate that in private letters to Ure editor of an American (magazine to which'-Hie contributed, housed to send the current club stories, which were perliaps more shocking even than this exitreict from "The Luck of Roaring Co.mp;" it was not, however, till he 'had supplied regularly for seven years these club delicacies that bis, correspondent wrote nit last to inform lrim that she was a lndy! "I give you my word," added Payn, "I blush even now in bed When I think of her seven years' long-suffering!" But to return to the criticism of 'the .prudish proofreader, who recalls Moliere's satire on "people whose ears are more chaste than all the rest of their bodies," Bret,Harte's answer to it in his defence of his ha'bit of holding up to admiration "a man of one. virtue and a -thousand crimes" is most effective. 'He wrote: "Tlie author has been repeatedly cautioned, kindly and unkindly, intelligently and unintclligently, against his alleged tendency to confuse recognized standards of monriity by extenuating lives of recklessness, arrd often criminality', witli a single solitary virtue. Of all the various forms in which cant presents itself to suffering humunity, 'he knows of none so outrageous; so illogical, so unde- rnonstraible, so marvelously absurd as the cont of 'too much mercy.' When it shall be proven to .him that communities are degraded and brought to guilt and crime, suffering or destitution, from a pre-' dominance of this quality; when he shall seo'pardoned ticket-of-leave men elbowing men of austere lives out of situation and position, and thc repentant "Magdalene supplanting tihe blameless virgin in society, then he will lay aside his pen and extend his hand to tlie new dracon- iiin discipline in fiction. 'But until then ho will, without claiming to be a religious man or a moralist, but simply as an artist, reverently and humbly conform to the rules laid down by a. Great Poet, who created the parable of 'The Prodigal Son' and 'The Good Samaritan'��������� whoso works lrave lasted 1,S00 years, and will Temain when the present writer and liis' generation are forgotten." The Mother-in-Law. Very little is known of the origin of this species, writes Dorothy Dix in hen "Studies in Natural HisioVy." Many people who have had opportunity of studying it at close range beli**vc that the first one was the original Serpent in Eden that pul Eve up to making trouble for Adam, nnd that its descendants aro still at work breaking up Domestic Paradises. In confirmation of this theory, which is beld by many men of experience, it is pointed out that the Mother-in-Law is generally the First Aid to the Divorced, and that in families where none is kept ���������tSic wife generally lives arrd dies without eating of the apple of knowledge, and finding out that she is married to a. Bruto and is a Poor, Persecuted Angel. Generally speaking, the Motlrcr-irr-Liiw fa indigenous to Europe and America, only a few scattering ones, and those of a. feeble character, being found in Asia, and none at all in Africa, whicli account* for the large immigration of recent years to the latter country. Naturalists hnve no trouble in placing the Mother-in-Law among the predatory and man-devouring animals, but much difficulty has arisen iir settling the exact class to which it belongs, some students contending that because of its mania for putting its finger in everybody's pie it pertains to the genus femiuis intermod- lis, while others hold that its arbitrary temper and determination to rule the ���������xoost indicate that it is a species of the genus feminis henoeckus. An eminent authority, however, advances the opinion that while both of these theories are true, they do not go far enough, and that the Mother-in-Law is, perhaps, thc finest specimen extant of the genus feminis stirup troublibus. In appearance this strange animal is what is described as h-.ird-featured, being particularly noticeable for the set of its jaw aiid the fact that it presents, from every aspect, an unyielding appearance. It is generally of a black color, and it bristles.with bundles as a porcupine does with quills. Its voice is also of a peculiarly grating and harsh quality, and has the extraordinary power .of affecting men's nerves to thc extent of driving them to drink. The chief characteristic of the Mother- in-Law is its inability to let people alone. It can no more see a man and Iris wife happily going their own way in pence without wanting to throw a bomb in between tliein, than a dog can see a horse grazing in a. meadow without snapping at its heels. This is not intentional mischief. It is just the nature of the beast, and it can't help it. It is built that way, with an insatiable mania for ���������butting into affairs where it is not wanted. No man can hope to run his house. or play anything but second fiddle, who keeps a Mother-m-Luw on the premises. As may be supposed, knowing the danger to which they will be exposed, and seeing the fell fate that,-lias befallen thedr friends, no man desires to -have such -a household pet, but so crafty and foxy is the Mothcr-iu-Law that it como** upon him unawares, and the first thing he knows one of these creatures is inalienably attached to his establishment. A great many men arc able by strenuous labor to keep the wolf from the door, .but comparatively few are ever able to fight off a Mother-in-Law.. Let" it not be thought, however, that tlris bloodthirsty animal has been made in vain. Not without reason is it well called the Watch Dog of Monogamy, for no man 'has such a horror of polygamy as One who bus a Mother-in-Law. ft Scientific Explanation. A woodsman, said the New. York "Sun," was one day chopping a tree over- hanging a stream, and, pausing in his work to flirt with a passing milkmaid, ae dropped his axe into the river. The woodsman. sat down comfortably -������d proceeded to bemoan his fate. Merely, ���������hearing his lamentations, appeared before him, and upon being informed-of the'loss of the axe, he at orfce dived Into the water and brought up a golden Hatchet. "Is that yours?" asked Mercury.',.,.. "No," replied the man. ^ Mercury thereupon plunged unto the water for a second "time and brought up i silver hatchet Again the man denied that the axe was his. Por the third time Mercury disap- neared under the water, and at' last brought up the veiy axe that the man Bad lost, which the woodsman eagerly jlaimedas 'his.' The god, being pleased:with the man's lonesty, presented him with the gold "ind t^ilver''hatchets also. , The man 'told his friends, about "this tnd''the Mercurial Gold and Silver Company was at once organized with a. capital of a billion or so.

The minister called at a certain Oana-, dian home just after he had come to his. new pastorate. The small boy was pres-' ent long before Iris mother came downstairs to greet tlie dominie. Trying to be cordial, the minister said, "How old axe you, my little man?" "I'm five at* home, six in school and three on. the oars," was the delightful reply. P. T. Barnum was a great practical Joker. On one occasion he notified the dealer from whom ho bought a large amount of supplies that half the pepper he sent bim was peas.

On April Fool's day, the audience at an amateur dramatic performance in the Naval Academy at Annapolis was oUivt- led when one of the instructors nrude hia appearance before the curtain about the time the performance was to begin, uid solemnly announced: "I wish to make an announcement���������a very sad announcement. Under the circumstances it scarcely seems fitting that the entertainment, should proceed. .Word has just been received that one of the navy's vessels has gone down with all on board!" A hush of horror followed this gravely delivered speech, for most of those in the Etudience were connected by close family ties with the navy. "What was tlio name of tlie vessel?" came a voice from'| the rear of the hall. "The submarine boat 'Holland,'" replied the instructor, as he dodged and mode a hasty exit. A correspondent of tlie London "Outlook" tells a story which he heard Lord Dufferin relate of Sheridan Le Fanu: Sheridan's father���������the Archbishop of Meath���������-was a great .-stickler for punctuality, a regard his son did not share. One morning young Sheridan, then about eight years old, dc-scemled unusually late for breakfast, and was met at the door by his father, watch in hand. "Is this right, sir; is this right?" demanded the prelate in sitern tones. "I doii't know, sir," replied Sheridan, looking at. the watch and pretending to think Uie question applied to it and not to his conduct, "but T rather think it's fast." For this Impertinence young Sheridan was condemned to write an essay on "The Three Ages of Man." Here is what he wrote: "Theme are three ages of man: First��������� When he is engaged in planning every conceivable mode of wickedness. This U known aa the age/of innocence. Second ���������When he is putting his nefarious plans into operation. This is called the prime of mamhood. Third���������When ho becomes anxious about his soul uird turns to religion.

That was, of course, in tlie early days, and Edison was then quite tlie inventor that one reads of���������poor, enthusiastic, never sleeping.' He lived in a small house, Innocent of anything approaching a. laboratory; scientific apparatuses were In every room, and all the money went for experiments. Then, one day, come the crisis in the guise of tlfe collector for the gas company, lie had been to the house often, but Edison, hardly heeding his calls, had waved him away, saying, ".Don't bother me." On this last call the collector's instructions were peremptory, lie must turn off the gas. "But, man," protested Mr. Edison, "1 can't stop this experiment to-night. I'll pay the bill, of com���������*. I didn't know about it. I must"'finish tlris work with no interruption.". But the man was a gas collector and thc lights went out. , "That night, as I sat helpless in the darkness," says tlie great inventor, "I swore a deep, solemn ind far-reaching oath that I would -Tut all the gas companies in the world out of business. I haven't done quite that, but I did the" best I could." Spooks and Their Clothes. * In a Berlin spiritualistic .trial that has furnished much entertaining "copy" to the newspapers, one of the witnesses testified to having seen the Reformer Zwin- rii standing over the entranced melius*, and gesticulating iu harmony with her utterances. The witness Ud not know, he told tho president, when or where Zwingli lived, or who he was, except that he was a Reformer; but i* "recognized his features distinctly." The "spook" was "a corpulent man' with! a mass of hair," arrayed'in "a summer jacket suit." This is quite the last get- ap in which a contemporary and fellow- laborer of Luther might bo expected to present himself to a latter-day audience, tuggests Henry Labouchere. One could ts easily think of John the Baptist reappearing in a suit of dittoes. Perhaps after all it was only some Schmidt or Schneider who died last year at Hamburg or Frankfort. But whether it was Schmidt, or Zw'rn- (li, or John the Baptist, the summer |acket suit raises a question which spiritualists of ii 11 schools ought to face frankly. I had a very interesting letter bearing upon it a fe* days ago. The writer dealt with "spooks" or ghosts at large, uid wanted to know where they get their clothes. He pointed out that in all ages they have appeared in chains that cranked and silks that rustled, whereas in the vast majority of crises they have been buried in simple .winding-sheets. Hamlet's father, for instance, was doubtless interred in the usual fashion, whereas there he was on the ramparts, armed cap-a-pie. Even if you assume that tho spirit might reconstruct some passable semblance of his more or less decomposed tleshly tenement, he could not borrow a 3*uit of armor which was probably at the same time mounted on a stand, somewhere in the precincts "of the palace. The same problem presents itself in the case of all spooks. Do they manufacture a now suit of ghostly clothing for each appearance in public? Or are there in the spook world (this is my correspondent's suggestion) second-hand clothing depots, where a spirit desirous of materializing can obtain at the shortest notice a gentlemanly outfit suitable to any epoch or rank of life���������just as he could, when, living, at Nathan's or Alias's? The evidence from Berlin about; Zwingli obviously supports the latter theory. The only plausible explanation, to my mind, of trie Ke- fonmer's summer jacket suit, is that he wanted a costume'in a hurry, and had to take anything that would fit���������apparently something that had been worn last at Margate or Monte Carlo. Having an insatiable thirst for occult knowledge, I should like to know more about this. It was W. D. Howells.

This subject is oi interest at all.times and touches well-nigh everyone. Hardly any there arc but have buried their dead; hardly any but have, shut aS from the daily activities of their souls, a consecrated void; hardly any but at times are earnestly asking, "Shall we see these dear absent ones ���������gain, and will there be some bond of recognition between tis?" Now on this question we could hardly expect thc Word of. CJod to say much. God would occupy us here with duty rather than with speculation, how ���������ver tender and sacred. Not whal huaven is, but how to get to heaven. b the great problem before us. Wc are given little of description, much of direction. No map of that golden city Is provided, but on the irarrow road the cross ever and anon is set up as a guidepost to point thc way. But although tlie burden of inspiration has to do with the privileges and the requirements of this world, it gives us no empty consolation with reference to them who are fallen asleep. In thc first place, there is that pervading undertone which we detect everywhere. We cannot explain it, we cannot point it out; but somehow, open the Bible where we may, it "comforts us concerning our brtfthcr." But, again, the recognition of those we have known on earth is implied in many of the fundamental declarations of God's Word. We are to be held accountable, for instance, for our dealings with those around us. Can it. then, be possible that we are not to know those whom we have influenced for good or ill? Perhaps, however, the strongest ol the indirect teachings of the Bible 011 this point is to be found in those ���������umberless similitudes . which describe our state, here and hereafter, as one cf association. The Kingdom of Heaven is like a net cist into the sea and enclosing a 'great multitude", of fishes. It is like a supper furnished with guests. It is a fellowship, a communion, a family, a'������������������ household.*'Surely, knit together by such ties,'the,members of that kingdom must know each other. But we are not left to mere inferences and implications. The Bible asserts directly the doctriire of mutual recognition hereafter. "Many shall come from the east anil from the west, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in thc Kingdom of God." Of course, there would be no significance in this statement if thc patriarchs are not to be known as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Again: ..ye - - _ Do -not abandon the old reliable varieties. Try .all thc novelties that are brought out, .fer some cf them may be excellent, but do not venture on them until entirely satisfied of their worth. It ;is not always that new varieties are adapted to .all soils, climates -and conditions. Fruit-growing is usually interesting to the youag people of the-farm. It is rather" neat; cheerful work, .and the income, especially irom orchards, increases rapidly with time aud attention. Fruit-growers, as a class, are .often fortunate iu retaining &onie of -their children tb help in the business. When the season of berries .ia over collect all the crates and .berry .boxes and store them away for next season's use. The farm not only looks !bctt������r for having the crates and boxes gathered from the field, but also indicates a careful and thrifty farmer. There were berry fields every winter where boxes and crates are strewn in. confusion everywhere, and about the railroad stations are piled crates and boxes exposed to wind and rain. With such management berries do not pay. <��������������� # J Fashion Notes. to The Latest Machine Milker. An improved milking machine is reported to be making some progress in Australia. It is a modification of an English machine, about three hundred of which were in use in Victoria. After some months it was noticed that the cows began to shrink. One of the dairymen, a practical mechanic, put an inspection glass in the rubber tube leading from the teats to the can, when the mystery was solved. In the English machine the four teat cups unite at the bottom into one tub;, which has to carry away all thc milk, and through which, at the same time, the vacuum pressure is applied to the teats. Thc result of this arrangement is that, when there is a full supp'y of milk coming from' the cow, the vacuum cannot work properly. The pulsation is caused by letting a little air mis the can every second, and this air rushes against the milk, causing it to surge backwards and forwards in the tube. Aftar a little while the milk, instead of running freely into the can, is actually driven up the teat cups against the cow's_ teats. The final result of this peculiar action is that'the milking operation is impeded, while the surging of the milk up against the teats so incommodes the cow that she holds up the rest of her milk. '���������;������������������. The result of this discovery was tliit within a few weeks all of the English machines were discarded. The dairyman, however, who discovered; the cause of the failure, Mr. Alexander Gillies of Terang, believing that it could be overcome, at once set to work to do so. After numberless experiments on his own herd of eighty cows, he set up, some three months ago, a machine which is claimed to be a perfect milking machine, which he has protected by patents all over Australasia and abroad. Recognizing that a pulsiting vacuum was the most feasible method of extracting the milk, he was also convinced that having the one tube only for both milk and pressure -vas impracticable. His machine, therefore, has two light rubber tubes, goiag side The Norfolk's Monkey. The 2nd Battalion,Norfolk Regiment, !which recently returned from South Africa, and is now quartered at Colchester,* is very proud ot Its regimental pet���������a large monkey named Bronko, aecttrcd at Pretoria. Bronko is proud of his slatish-colorcd coat, and knows liis name when hc is addressed, frowns rt strangers, and points at them as much as to say, "Who are you ?" To ���������ome people he takes readily; to others be shows his teeth. When told that jBenertal C������tacrc or thc Colonel is coming he-draws himself up to his full h������*iebt-���������over four feet���������brushes his ���������oat aad salutes in quite a soldierly (artIon. He likes a * game of tug-of- war i-rlth a wisp of straw, at which he li very cunning, eats a quantity ol or������nR*������s. which cost 6s 6d per week, and is fond of .bananas, sweets and al- iJiionds. Me has a failing for cigar- ���������cttos, which he ikies not smoke, but *,!in looks aa though intended for table linen, and has much the same damask pattern. This, however, is merely it passing fad, and is not a wise fashion lu adopt. The plainer mateiU.s are5 best with a little embroidery, provided' it is well done; this is far better than quantities of machine work. The all-important question of declaim; upon tho selection of one or more fetching bathing suits is puzzling mniiy feminine minds, and never wns there sueli n tantalizing display of stunning suits t'i choose from as there is this season. TaiTotas and India'silks make up int.. the smartest of nil. but following clos^l> | after these arc l*':iglisli ninlinirs ami | Siciliennes, and many of the lly-htor 1 grades of French Ilannels are alsu us-*u. ' After the material ls deeidod upon the next consideration is the fashioning of lt, and this requires time, for ln the tendency toward elaboration on all kinds of feminine apparel the bathing suit has not by any means been overlooked. One of the most stunning comblnatlona is a white taffeta suit with turquol������e blue. The skirt has liny bias tucks forming points at the various seams, all stitched alike with blue silk, and at the edge of the skirt above a deep hem aro five small olrcular tucks. The skirt is shaped rather similar to an umbrella or parasol covering, exceedingly 'scant and almost close lifting around the waist, -but. Increasing considerably In width as It lengthens. The waist is closely tucked in the samo bias fashion as the skirt-with a vest showing down the front of straight tucks. The broad sailor collar'Is of the plain blue taffeta silk, with five rows of white silk braid bordering It all around, and the sleeves are finished Just abovei-.'tlie elbow*-, with turned-back cuffs of the blue silk. . Something decidedly -hew this season Is a bathing suit of natural colored pongee. It has just enough suggestion of a contrasting color on the blouse to make It becoming. Pale blue is charming combined with this peculiar shade of tan, and ln fact the paler* tones of blue adapt themselves so delightfully with so many different colors that touches of lt appear everywhere and on about everything this season. The accepted walking skirt barely clears the ground; does not indeed clear when the wearer walks, but the outing girl absolutely needs a shorter skirt for serviceable country wear, and if she cannot afford two tailored uuting costumes she would better have two skirts made for wear with one Jacket. One skirt may be of the inconvenient length dictated by fashion; the other should clear the ground well and be suitable for bad weather, rough tramping, and active exercise of any kind. ���������"* The form of coat accompanying the short skirt is a disputed question this summer. There can be no doubt that the bolero or Eton ln some form, or the coat of hip length. Is more generally becoming with a short skirt than a'longer coat, and marks the proportions of tlie llgure in more satisfactory fashion, but the blouse coat with knee length skirt seems to have obtained a certain hold upon rem Had the Advantage.

In Hutchinson at the time was one "Bill" Graham, a cattleman much given to the use of intoxicating liquor. "Bin" joined the crowd without knowing what It was all about. Hc fell in line and gradually approached lhe President, ���������who was standing on the lower step of his car and shaking hands with all who came. As "Bill" came near, the President reached over, grasped him by the hand, shook it vigorously and said :��������� "My friend, 1 am delighted to see you."

In ; another case milk was taken from j cows thc udders of which had been ; wiped, which were kept in a fairly clean barn, that were milked into clean pails (but pails that had not been scalded), and by men whose hands had been wiped, but not washed, fn this case the number of bacteria was 15,500. In another case, where cows were milked under ordin- ary conditions which prevailed on the j ordinary farm, the number of bacteria was 30,000 to sixteen drops. Thc bacteria found in thc milk taken from cows under the best possible conditions as to cleanliness were, it is believed, for the mos* part just inside thc teat before milling began. The old practice of sriuirting the first stream of milk outside the pail has a scientific basis to rest upon. Absolute cleanliness in the stable, cooling of the milk after milking, sterilization of utensils by scalding, cool curing of cheese, and no more sending home of whey in milk cans, are pointers which may also be strongly insisted upon.

"The best of all beauty-making foods are fresh fruits and fresh vegetables,"; ,said Prof. H. W: Wiley, the famous United States Government chemist, who is incidentally a skilled physician. "They contain relatively little nourishment���������a woman could hardly ' live on them exclusively ..for any length of time���������but for reasons whicli as .yet are in}lerfectly understood;'.they, possess extraordinary value as real th-giv- ers. If you want bright eyes and a clear complexion,' eat plenty' pf them." The fact is "that most fresh vegetables and fruits are nearly air water.; Spinach is 92 1-2 per cent, water/ cab-, bage is 77 per cent.".\valei*i beets arc 88 per cent, water, carrots are 91 per cent, water, cauliflower is 91 per .cent, water, * cucumbers arc op, per cent, water, egg plant is 93'pcr'c'dnr.Vater,^ onions are 78 1-2 per cent, water, tomatoes are 96 per cent, water,.green corn (cut from the cob) is 81 1-2 per cent, water, and celery is 94 1-2 per cent, water. Fruits are pretty nearly all water, though the banana is relatively rich in starch. Fruits and vegetables, then, are of no great use in supporting the human body. Their value' is mainly medicinal, and as beauty-makers they are the chief among foods. It is almost impossible to eat too much of them.in a fresh state, though, of course, thc diet must include a reasonable proportion of those substances, such as meat, wliich furnish blood,andjmiscle_tisstic. vide was a very pretty girl, and was*i -*������������������!"',? l,D who was not so eulogistic. ������������������.*��������� o'T mv narisliicmers The Iii-ule-] -.. 1'au''ceJ'. ho said, "l think that story ... 01 my parishioners. xrrc ot rue-. about the clock better every time I hear It. r think to-night was tho fiftieth time." ."'Why, President Newell says that story is a daisy," expo* ulated Mr. Depew.

The London Dally Express'of a recent date had the following :���������hloaussines Is a small village In Belgium,' which possesses a good sur-ly of girls, who . jalized late- ���������y ���������that a great many of them were destined to be old maids unless they took the matter In hand .'.themselves.

(From the Chronicles of Uncle Ike.) No, I haven't forgotten the time L**ca4 Union Number One of the Amalgamates Society of Housewives of British North1 America went out on strike. It cams' right home to me, Mrs. Ike being a mem-' ber of that late unlamented organization,' It was off day at the shop. I'd oalou- lated to take Mrs. Ike out for a drive, but she refused. "I'm ovor so happy, that you should have thought of it, Ike,'** she says, "and you know I'd far rather go with you than to the mooting, but," snys she, "my obligation as a member at the Housewives calls for my attendance, except when pliyslcully Impossible." "Well," I says, "If you go for a drive with me 'twould be physically Impossible to go to the meeting, too, so Just put on your bonnet " "Why does ***. man always call a woman's hat a bonnet '.'" she Interrupts, rather sharp like. "Woll, whatever lt is," 1 answers, kinder apoiogtzlngly, -put It on and we'll go for a drive." "I misdoubt, Ike," she says, shaking her head ; "your sense of honor is somewhat warped." "Whore ?" I asks, pretending to be anxious. "I don't feel drawn up anywhere, ana, moreover," I went on, s long as my horse sense Is In good working order we'll rrot worry much about tho other senses except the sense of taste." "Thinking of your supper already," says Mrs. Ike. "Just like a man!" And llien she kissed me, hoped I wouldn't get lonely before she camo back, and departed. About the time she was due for supper I thought to myself, "How'd it do for me to have it ready for her when she comes In, and I was so pleased with myself for thinking of sueh a thing that I almost allowed lt to stop ut the thought. However, after a severe mental struggle, as the story books say, and a good dial of searching, I succeeded ln getting tha* table set, and hud just put a kettleful of water on lhe gas stovo* when Mrs. Ike came in. She looked a little bit surprised when she saw what I had done, but she sat down without saying anything more than was necessary. . "Well," 1 ' snys,_wondering why slro hadn t tussea some about setting tlio things out. "nothing for you to do but just warm up the ptatoes and meat left over from dinner, and that won't take you long." "You'll have to do it yourself," she says, trying to speak very iirm. "Not to-day, thank you,'* says 1, thinking she was just joking. "D'ye remember what happened the last timo I triod to cook a meal the dav you hurt your hand?" my mind going buck to a day when I'd let n line roust of beef burn to a crisp. She looked uncomfortable, but answered back, ."You'll have to do It: there's a strika on." ''Strike!" I just yelled tlie word. , ��������� ijes," says Mrs. Ike, a bit angry like. Why. not?" she says. ".Men have thoir strikes, why not '.ho women?" Well, I didn t know why, but I didn't say anything, just stood and stared at Her for I don't know how long, und she just looked buck. "Local Union Number Ono of the Amalgamated Society of Housewives of British North America is on strike," sho says, at last. : "That being the case," says 1, "Local Branch Number One of the International Married Men's Association '11 have te* hold an emergency meeting to-nlglit to consider the situation." ���������What I" she gasped : "Why I didn't know there was any sueh thing." : "No more did I," thinks I to mrseM. but aloud 1 says, ���������������������������Tut, tut!

With that I took the frying pan from a hook at the top, of the cellar staira and man* aged to knock down a few other pans, "What are you going to do?" says Mrs. Ike. ���������:���������'- . "The Married.

Then she began' to'* look frightened. -I went to the pantry to search for tho meat. 1 made ��������� all the noise 1 could and knocked a milk jug to the floor, the ugliest Jug you ever saw, and I'm thankful to say It'was completely smashed A woman who came and stayed with us for two weeks at Exhibition time,-on thu strength of her daughter being acquainted with Mrs. Ike's mother, gave it to ua as a souvenir, and Just because it was one of that kind It had seemed Impossible to break It. Mrs. Ike, not knowing what I might break next, Jumped up and savs, all sweet and hesitating:' "Bee, we all decided we wouldn't do anything for our husbands to-day, and���������and���������'twas just foolishness. I���������I," and then she stopped. There was a suspicious gleam In her eyes, and I guess my own were gleaming, too. But I opened, my; arms, and when, her head was resting where It had a right to, I says, "It ls officially stated that tho Married Men and the Housewives havo come to terms." . ��������� - "The agreement," says Mrs. Ike, all sunshine again,* "being entirely satisfactory to both parties."
