City Hail.\nfrom actual want of the barest necessaries of life.\nIt is not considered etiquette for\nthe pastor to press his debt on the\nattention of the officers of the church\nThere may be due to him hundreds\nof dollars, but it would toe shockingly\nindelicate of him to ask for a conference of the church officers to consider ways of giving him his dues.\n.Occasionally ai pastor, mivrc (independently plaqed than) others, will\nhave the temerity to take his deacons to task for not fulfilling the promise they made when engaging him,\nand likely as not he will be met with\nthe dishonorable statement that the\npromise was only a matter of form.\nMany church officers, apparently,\nregard their pastors as a pensioner\nwhom they can insult and impose\nupon financially, treating him as they\nwould never dared treat their coal\ndealer or butcher. Such dishonesty\nnot only entails privation and anxiety on the minister and family, but\nit also places him in a most disagreeable position, and compels him to\naccept as gratuities much that he\nwould pay for if he had what is due\nhim.\nWere any other class of employers\nto withhold wages, as church officials\ndo the salaries of their ministers, the\npress of the country would team with\ndenunciations, and public sentiment\nwould not be long in compelling justice to be done the employee. The\npastor, however,, 'cannot appeal to\nthe press, nor can he get up mass-\nmeetings to ventilate the injustice\ndone him. He must suffer in silence\nas he has done for this long time.\nBut there is no reason why all the\ndenunciation, so widely current at\nthe present time, should be centered\nwholly upon politicians and insurance officials. As there is ethical\nhouse-cleaning going on, there is\nevery reason that the church officials\nwho act dishonorably toward pastors\nin financial matters, should not be\nincluded among those who arc held\nup for the reprobation of the community. By their financial dealing\nwith their pastors, many churches set\na contemptible example of oppression of the helpless, and it is to be\nhoped that some day they will be\nbrought to book.\nJfa.1fca^Jfrfy\u00a3faJfcJfaJfaJfa\u00bb$*Jt**r}t\nCEYLON\nTEAS\n25,  30, 35,\n40 AND 50\ncents per pound.\nThese are the  FINEST Teas\non the market at those prices\nA*******\nAlso N\u00bb. 1 Ashcroft\nPotatoes at\u2014\nSmith i%.r\nSnapessor to W.

This fabric\nmay be made 10 express an almost\nrigid severity by avoiding other trimming than a few molds of itself, or,\nby the use of handsome laces, it becomes at once a smart affair, after\nIhis manner  as  an  example;\n-White Cachemire Costume.\nThe same cestupie in all white, including not only the velvet accessaries, but the hat and parasol, with\nthe exception of the lace, which to\nhe in a modish contrast should be in\ntint yellowish butter tint, or the\ndarker twine color, selecting for that\npurpose some one of the antique\nlues. There is still so strong a pre-\n'' ven t- for Irish lace that in all cases\nthis lace has to be excepted, and in\none case, can anyone imagine any-\ntning more charming than the foundation of hit, jacket, and parasol as|\nwell as stole of skirt, when of Irish\nl'.ce. in its milk whiteness. Tims\nit is that these cachemires do b;-\n- mif affairs nf full dress, whereas\nthe same ideas, carried out less extravagantly, also make up for smartness most successfully.\nLight  Colored Cachemire.\nBesides all that fin be said in fav\nor of white cachemire, wc have but\nto choose in the pale pastel colors\n-~-one of the many\u2014to set about\nplanning other pretty costumes on\nPhe same line with dyed laces which\nare to this date so modish.\nThe choicest of these cachemires\nare the lavender-grays, the pink apd\nthe yellow-toned fawns, all the beige\ntints, evcif those approaching whiteness. They hace a quality ditinction\nof theirown. As for the lightblucs.\nrose pinks and mauves the dyed\nlaces rather throw a common, or gar\nden air over such costumes, whether\nfrom too great abundance of color\ncombined, or the fact that the lace\nand cachemire in such tints do not\nproduce a refiner harmony. But it\nis all a matter of argument, once\nfashion smiles on these vivid results.\n\u25a0Ribbons Trade.\nV\nTinsel ribbon is one of the new\nthings in millinery. Last year the\ngold and silver tinsel ribbon were\nused, but the season brings out the\nlustre finished ribbons in colors. It\nhas the same effect as the gold and\nsilver ribbons, only it reflects a pale\nlavender,   pale  blue,   pale   green   and\nother  delicate colorings.\nMuch ribbon is employed in the\nmaking up of the newest neckwear\npieces, and it is used with excellent\nresults. Some of the dainty collars\nshow ribbons embroidered in floral\ndesigns, and leaves done in chiffon\nor taffeta. There are a great number of jabots of Ohantilly lace in the\nhigh-class numbers which show\nFrench ribbons embroidered. Ribbon people are making a splendid\nthing out of the neckwear trade.\nDressmakers declare there is an\nappreciable swell in the newest skirt-\nmodel lines, which fail completely to\ndefine the figure as heretofore. Fortunately, no one is paying particular\nattention to it, and the fullness of\nskirts continues to be concentrated\nat the foot. But are we to interpret by it a hidden motive to accustom the eye, in other words, to anticipate future changes which will\nnecessitate shore crinolines? The\nsaving condition under present\nmodes, requiring such full skirts, is\nthe lightness and suppleness of the\nmaterials used, whicll cling to the\nfigure, and allow the grace of movement to be quite perceptible. As\nlong as all fabrics remain in this\nlight weight, we may consider ourselves safe from wire tapes or other\nartificial skirt supporters.\nIn order to give a skirt for a stout\nfigure the effect of fullness and yet\nnot to enlarge the hip effect, the\nskirt was cut circular from the side-\nfront seanis and groups of sun-plaits,\nfive in number, starting from one\ninch wide at the waist-line, jind flaring out wider towards the hem, were\npressed in the cloth. These groups\nwere about three inches apart and\nthe skirt fitted tight over the hips\nmaking the effect of a plaited skirt,\nas tbe fullness at the bottom allowed\nthe plaits to stay in place. This\nskirt gives no added bulk to the hips\nand has the effect of a kilted skirt.\n09 m ^JMT*^J#\nBefore starting on a shopping tonr,\nlook over the advertisements in the\nADVOOATE.\nOUR NEW\nMACHINERY\nis now installed.

You say we shall be able to\nsail to-morrow?\"\n\"Yes, to-morrow,\" he said, rising\nas he spoke.\nShe wished him good-night and\nwent out, and Mannering lit his pipe\nund sat pondering. The vein of reflection which he struck was not a\nflattering one. The girl he had married was so indifferent\u2014disliked him\nso much, to put it plainly\u2014that she\nhud bargained with him to conceal\ntheir marriage. And ho had consented. He drowsed over his pipe for half\non hour or so, then ho rose anil\nmade for his hut. But when ho camo\nln eight of tho spot whero Nina's\nhut had stood, ho stopped short\nwith his heart in his mouth. The hut\nwas no longer thero and only a litter of poles and undergrowth remained.\nHe ran, calling upon her name, antl\nfound her lying on the ground, with\none of the heaviest poles across her\nslim  'orm.\nWith a Herculean effort he dragged\ntho pole from off her and, raising\nher in his arms, called upon her frantically:\n\"Nina, Nina! Ara you killed\u2014dead?\nNina!\"\nHer eyes, upon which his frantic\ngnzo was fixed, did not open, but he\nfelt her shudder in his arms, antl,\nunconsciously, he pressed her still\nmore closely to his breast.\n\"Nina, Miss Nina, are you hurt?\"\nhe called, his lips closo to her cars,\nfor the storm had risen again. \"Oh,\nspeak to me! Try\u2014try to speak to\nme!\"\nShe opened her eyes, and as a flash\nof lightning lit up their violet\ndepths, a gasp of relief, of thanksgiving,  escaped  his  trembling lips.\n\"Oh, thnnk God!

His henrt wns full\nof pity for her\u2014of something warmer, of which he was only partly and\ndimly conscious.     He did not   know\nthat he had kissed her, that his\nwords, his actions had been full of\nlove, of a man's love, for the woman.\nAnd Nina! Sho lay awake tossing\nfrom side to side\u2014on his bed. The\nmemory of the kiss burnt in her consciousness, She hud lain in his\narms; she had yielded herself to\nhim; she had, though ho did not\nknow it, been glad of his embrace,\nthe touch of his lips.\nMaiden shame burnt like a lire\nwithin her bosom\u2014a tierce, merciless\nfire. Had he known, guessed at, tho\nthrill of surrender that had run\nthrough her at his embrace? Had ho\nknown what his kiss meant to her?\nLiko a flash of lightning from the\nrent skies she knew that she loved\nhim. This man who had saved her\nlife at least twice\u2014first from the sea\nand secondly from the Lascar\u2014who\nhad watched over her, gutirded her,\nprovided for her life's daily needs,\nwas more to her than life itself\u2014was\nthe being one means when one whisper \"lover.\" And he was her husband by the caprice of Fate\u2014her husband against his will.\nHad ho kissed her or did she imagine it? If he did it made matters\nten thousand times worse, for he had\nkissed her in pity, not in love. Not\nin love, for did he not curry in his\nbreast the portrait of another woman?\nShe rose, feverish and parched\nwith thirst; but above her physical\nsuffering towered her mental, spiritual agony. She loved him and he\u2014\nTho fair lace of thnt other woman\nrose before her mockingly, tauntingly, and embittered, poisoned the\nglorious, wonderful dawn which rose\nas a daily miracle upon the fairy\nisland.\nAs if impelled by the spirit of her\nmaidenly pride, which would not let\nher rest, she went down towards the\nbeach. On her way she had to past,\nthe saloon, and, after a moment's\nhesitation, sho opened (he door and\nlooked in.\nMannering lay at full length before the fire, his head resting on his\narm, on which was the lilood of a\nwound caused b.v one of the falling\nbeams. His face was troubled, his\nbreath came short and painfully. Hor\nown grew labored and painful us she\nbent over him, and her love for him\nwelled up in her heart and rati over,\nso that it was hard for her not to\ntouch him, if with her finger tips only. As it was, she bent so low that\nher lips nearly touched his, and her\nIvreath stirred his hair. But alas, and\nalas! at that moment he moved in\nhis sleep and she heard him murmur,\n\"Judith, Judith!\"\nShe roso as if somthing had stung\nher, and in a conflict of emotions\nwent, down to the beach. It was high\ntide nnd the raft tugged nt its moorings. She gnzed at it thoughtfully,\nthen the color rose, to her palo face\nand  her eyes glowed  with an  idea.\nShe knew that if she remained on\nthe island with him her Iovo would\nbetray her. Why should she not go?\nHere wero the moans\u2014the Providential means\u2014of escape. Tho provlsftns\nwhich Mannering had prepared wero\nclose by the raft; it was ns ready for\nuse as on the day he hnd intended\nthat she nnd poor Fleming should\nset sail. )Vhy should  she not go?\nShe might reach the group of islands of which Mannering had spoken;\non the other hand she might not. At\nany rate she would have saved her\nself-respect\u2014would save herself the\nshame of revealing her love for this\nman.\nThe Idea, the thought, sent the\nblood to her fnce. She ran up to the\nhut and put her sparo clothes in a\nbundle, and wrapping the marriage\ncertificate nnd Fleming's diary in a\npiece of oilcloth, put them in the\nbosom of her dress, then returned to\nthe beach and the raft.\nBut she could not go without a\nword of farewell. Sho was fleeing as\nmuch from herself ns from hint, but\nshe owed him a word of explanation\n\u2014of good-bye.\nShe tore a blank leaf from Fleming's journal and writing on it, \"I\nam going for both our sakes. Remember our promise. Ninn,\" fixed it\nwith a stone to the rock nearest the\nspot where the raft flouted. Then she\ntook the box of nrovisions on board.\nset the rnft loose from its moorings,\nran up tho sail to the mast, and\npushed oft\" into tho rolling sea.\nMannering did not awake until\nsome hours later. His phenomenally\nhard work of the pre\\ iotis day and\nthe stress and strain of the cientB\nof the night had exhausted him. He\nworked with the guilty consciousness\nof being \"late,\" and iie went about\ntho routine tasks of the morning.\nHe luid and lit the tire and filled\nthe can with water; nnd nil the time\nhe was performing Hie tasks he was\ndoing so mechanically, with the memory of last night's experiences humming in his brain. He had held Nina\nin his arms. Had he\u2014had he kissed\nher? Had he spoken n word of the\nlove for her that welled up in his\nhenrt?\nHo would know when he saw her\u2014\nwhon he looked Into her eyes. Would\nshe he angry, resentful? ho asked himself. Poor girl, poor girl! Should he\ntell hor thut hu hnd learned to love\nher, thnt he Wn-nted her for a wife in\nmore thun ntiine?\nHe went up to-the hut intending to\ncall her\u2014to get her outside and have\nIt out with her, 4,bcre and then. After all, sho was his wife. His wife!\nHe murmured  the Words    to    himself\nDOPDS '\n^KIDNEY\nfy.PILLSj\n^\u2022LrVxv^^oi^\n-\u00a3\u00ab_.__ _-P.'\nfondly, with n thrill of passionate\nlonging. His wife! How much lt\nmeant to him!\nBut he would not call her. No\ndoubt she was tired. He would wait,\nand at breakfast, as they sat opposite to each other, like husband and\nwife, he would open his heart to her\n\u2014would tell her that he loved her,\nwould\u2014yes, claim her!\nHe went back to the saloon. No\nbreakfast was laid; but he made up\nthe fire and sat down to wait patiently. Half an hour passed, then,\nthinking that he had better call hor\n\u2014that she would be angry if he did\nnot do so\u2014he went up to his hut and\nknocked at the door.\nNo answer came, and after knocking again, he Btrolled down to the\nbeach. He missed the raft in an instant and stared with surprise at the\nplace at which it had been moored.\nThen the piece of paper fluttering under the stone on the rock caught his\nnttention. He went to it, took it\nfrom under the stone and read it.\nRead it not once or twice, but a\ndozen times; then stood gazing with\nunseeing eyes and torture-racked\nheart out to the sea on which the\nfrail raft had ventured, bearing away\nfrom him the girl he had learned to\nlove as only Btrong men can love.\nCHAPTER VIII.\nMannering sank on to the rock on\nwhich Nina had plnced her farewell\nletter, and, covering his faco with his\nhands, sat motionless as a statue of\ngrief. He did not think of himself\u2014\nof tho awful solitude to which her\nflight had doomed him. Only one\nthought racked hiin, and that was\nthat she had flown because she was\nafraid of him. She had preferred to\ntrust the treacherous, murderous sea\nrather than him.\nIt was a hideous reflection, and lt\nnearly-drove him mad. She had not\nwaited until tho boat had been\nlaunched, but had taken the raft-\nhad run all and every risk rather\nthan remain another day on the island with him or confide herself to\nhis care in a joint voyage.\nHours passed and he still sat stir-\ning with vacant eyes at the sea. It\ndid not occur to him to lounch the\nboat and attempt to follow her.\nWhat good would it be if he came up\nwith her? She would probably\nthrow herself into the sea at his approach, she was to proud, so mistrustful of him. He got up at last\nand wandered about with the air of\na man distraught. Every now and\nthen ho plucked a flower or picked up\na shell and gazed at it as if it wero\nof the most ntense interest to him,\nbut ho was scarcely conscious of what\nhe held in his hand. He felt neither\nhunger nor thirst; but after a time a\nstrange feeling of exhaustion, ot\ncraving for sleep, came over him,\nanh he dropped down just outside his\nhut and fell into a deep sleep.\nIt probably saved his reason and\nprepared him for the still heavier\nblow that Fate was to deal him.\nHe slept right through tho night\nand past the dawn: and it was the\nsoughing of tho wind and tho harsh\ncrash of tho waves of the beach that\nawoke him. It had been raining\nheavily and he was wet through, but\nho did not feel cold, for fever was\nwarming his blood with a baleful\nheat. As he stretched himself back\ncame his misery with a sharp torture; and with a groan he dropped\nhis arms to his side and looked\nround as if he wero trying to persuade' himself that it was a dream,\nand that lie should see Nina coming\nswiftly toward him.\nBut instead of the vision of her\nfair, fresh grace and beauty, his\nburning eyes fell upon something on\nthe beach. Long before he had\nreached it he saw what it was.\nIt was the raft, or rather the remains of it. Tho sail had gone, the\nmast was broken, half tho logs had\nbeen torn away; the thing had been\nwrecked in the storm which had raged while he slept, and tho lnooming\ntide hail cast it at his feet.\nAnd Nina! While he stared from\ntho wrecked raft to tho sea and hack\nagain from the sea to tho raft a\nsmall object floating on tho water\ncaught his eye.\nHe fixed his gaze on it, beginning\nto tremble and shake, flung himself\ninto the water and swam for the\nthing. When ho caino back with it\nclutched in his hand, his face was\nwhito and his eyes starling.\nIt was the little woollen cap Nina\nhad worn.\nPanting with his exertion and the\nagony that the assurance of her\ndeath caused him, ho lay full length\non the .su in I, his faco upturned to\nthe sun which broke out Buddenly\nand mocked him pitilessly.\nIt was three tlnys after this that\nin a dogged, sullen fashion ho hauled\ntho canoe down to the beach, and,\nputting in some provisions, mado\nready to sail. Ho was going, not\nbecause ho had any desire for life or\nto go back to civilization, but because the island had become Intolerable to him. You see, it was impossible to forget hor iu a place of\nwhich every feature kept her vividly,\nagonizingly in his memory, nnd he\nknew that if he remained any longer\nbrooding, brooding over his loss ond\nthe trngic circumstances attending it\nthat ho must inevitably go mad.\nOnce or twice, in his terrible solitude, a devil in his brain called\n\"Suicide\" had whispered alluringly\nto him. Ho was going because there\nwas just enough of tho spirit of a\nman left in him to make him shrink\nfrom insanity and self-destruction.\nFor tho Inst time ho wandered\nover tho familiar scene, the exquisitely beautiful place which his dawning\nlove had been rapidly transforming\ninto Home; but it was a hell now.\nHis Inck-lustro eyes fell upon tho\nheap of gold quartz which lay outside Nina's hut, but it did not keep\nhia attent'on for a moment, and it\nnover occurred to him to take even\na specimen. Of what use was wealth\nto a man who had lost all hopo in\nlife and only craved a natural and\npainlesstleiith?\nInstinct rather than any desire 1.0\nchoose a favorable time made hlni\nwait until- the turn of tho title; then\nho got into his canoe and, keeping\nhis gaze fixed seaward, set Bail The\nweather was more favorable to him\nthnn it hatl been to poor Nina, and\nCarried him duo south. Onto or\ntwice he thought how full of joy and\nhope he would have been if she hnd\nbeen wilh him in the boat, and ho\nsighed with callous Indifference to his\ngood fortune. Why had Fate not\nspared lier instead of him\u2014her so full\nof life and the joy of living? Why\nhud it struck tlown so rure and\nbeautiful a creature and loft him to\ndrag on an existence of anguish and\nfutile remorse?\nTO BE CONTINUED.\nFor Coughs\nand Colds\nThere Is a remedy over sixty\nyears old\u2014-Ayer's Cherry\nPectoral.

Every doctor now admits\nthis to be the fact. Doctors used to\nthink that rheumatism was brought\non by colds in the joints and muscles.\nNow they know that cold never\nstarted the disease\u2014cold uuly sets\nthe pains going. Rheumat.sm can\nonly be cured by curing the bad\nbiood which causes it. Br. Williams'\nPink Pills always cures rheumatism,\nbecause they actually make new\nrich red blood, which drives out\nthe poisonous acids, loosens the stiffened, aching joints and muscles, and\nrestores the rheumatic sufferer tc\nhealth and happiness. Dr. William's\nPink Pills have cured inousands and\nthousands of rheumatic sufferers,\nsome of them when they were almost\nhopeless cripples. Mr. T. H. Smith,\nCaledonia, Ont., says:\u2014\"For a number of years I was badly troubled with\nrheumatism, and was so crippled I\ncould scarcely do auy work. I tried\nquite a number of medicines, but\nthey did not help me. Then I - saw\nDr. Williams' Pink Pills advertised as\na cure for this trouble, and got a\nsupply. After I had taken a few\nboxes I saw they were helping me,\nand I continued taking the pills\nthroughout the winter, and am now\ncompletely cured. I have since worked out of doors in cold weather\nwithout a coat, and did not feel even\na twinge of the trouble.\"\nIf you are suffering from any disease due to bad blood or disordered\nnerves, Dr. Williams Pink Pills will\ncure you, because they make now\nrich blood, which goes right to the\ntoot of the disease an! drives it\nfrum the system. That ls why Dr.\nWilliams* Pink Pills cure such troubles as anaemia, indigestion, palpitation of the heart, neuralgia, headaches and backaches, kidney and\nliver troubles, St. Vitus Dance, paralysis, and the special secret ailments of girlhood and womanhood.\nBut only the genuine pills can do\nthis, and these always have the full\nname \"Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for\nPale People,\" on the wrapper\naround each box.

What the rattle aud the\ndoll are to the earliest years of us,\nthat the Shetland pouy is fated to\nbecome for older childhood, says\nCountry Life in America. This animal is the only pet that won't at\nsome time or other make reprisals on\ntha hand that nags. The dog\u2014every\ndag\u2014will bite when the child becomes too familiar. There are elements in a cat's nature that puzzle\nand repulse the child, a something\nthat makes it walk \"by its wild lone.\"\nThe goat is inadequate. We could\nanalyze a Noah's Ark of animals in\nthis way only to find that the one satisfying safe living pet is the Shetland\npony. If more thaii eight children\nride on his back, he will shake himself\nlike a wet Newfoundland and then\nstand motionless, while they pick\nthemselves up and out from his four\nhoofs.

Baby's Own Tablets is the best medicine in the world\nfor teething children. They allay the\nInflammation in the tender swollen\ngums, correct the disordered stomach, and help the teeth through painlessly. Mrs. T.

They are guaranteed to contain not one particle of\nopiate or harmful drugs, and may be\ngiven with equally good results to\ntho new-born baby or the well-grown\nchild.

Unfortunately for the glory of Portugal it\ndid not fly, as was expected, 200 miles\nin twenty-four hours or at all. In order that the deeply scientific among\nour readers may understand the cause\nof its failure we quote a few extracts\nfrom Its specifications. The ship was\nfitted, ln the flrst place, with \"sails\nwherewith the air ls to be divided.\" It\nhad also two pairs of bellows, \"which\nmust be blown when there is no wind.\"\nAt opposite ends of the hull were \"the\nglobes of heaven and earth, containing in them the attractive virtues.\"\nThese served as covers to \"two loadstones placed in them upon pedestals to\ndraw the ship after them.\"\nWe have not yet exhausted the list\nof motive powers carried by this remarkable Invention. Over the whole\nwas \" a cover made of iron wire ln\nform of a net, on which are fastened\na good number of large amber beads,\nwhleh by a secret operation will help\nto keep the ship afloat, and by the sun's\nheat (certain mats) that line the ship\nwill be drawn toward the amber beads.\"\nIt Is strange that a flying ship tilted\nwith so many alternative appliances\nshould have failed to fly at all. Possibly the amber beads tried to fly one\nway, the globes another, the wind and\nthe bellows worked ln yet other directions, and thus stable equilibrium resulted.\u2014London News.\n\"To Enliven\nthe Liver\nTHE RESOURCEFUL MOLE.\nKidneys and Bowels\u2014To Prevent Disease by\nCleansing the 8ystem--You Must Use\nDR. CHASES KIDNEY-LIVER PILLS\nIrving's Generosity.\nThe fate Sir Henry Irving retained\nfaithful old members ot his company\nlong after their services might have\nbeen dispensed with if only business\nconsiderations prevailed. One of the\nmost touching cases of this character\nwas that of Daddy Howe, who died in\nCincinnati some years ago while the\ncompany was touring here. At one of\nthe most memorable dinners given to\nIrving by the members of the profession Daddy Howe arose and, with\ntears streaming down his face, told\nhow his proposal to retire had been received. At this time he was eighty\nyears old. When Howe learned that\nthe company was to como to America\nhe realized that the expense would be\nvery great and that the minor roles he\nplayed could be easily filled over hem\nat a much less cost. As a result ot\nthese gloomy reflections he wrote Mr.\nIrving that he appreciated the situation and would either retire or accept\na reduced salary. Not receiving an an.\nswer, he brought the matter up at a\npersonal   interview.\n\"Dear me! Ah, yes! Well, Til let\nyou know presently,\" was Mr. Irving's\nevasive reply.\nDaddy Howe thought from this that\nhe was undoubtedly doomed to retirement. With trembling fingers he opened a note that came from Mr. Irving\nthe next  day and read:\n\"Of course I expect you to go, and I\nhope that the increase in your salary\nwill Indicate my appreciation and good\nwishes.\"\nDanton and the Clock.\nThe clock in the anteroom of the\nministry of justice having stopped, a\nwatchmaker took it to pieces and was\nsurprised to find engraved on one of\nthe wheels this inscription: \"J. Jean\nBlanchet, this 22nd Aug., 1792, saw\nthe Sieur Danton profane the emblem\nof divine kingship by breaking a fleur-\nde-lis, which so rightly adorned the\nhand of this clock.\" The Inscription\nhad been hitherto undiscovered. Danton at the time mentioned was minister of justice, and It Is known that tho\nclock stood for more than a century in\nthe minister's private room. Presumably he was irritated by watching tho\nfleur-de-lis, which finished off the minute hand, as in many clocks of tho\neighteenth century, slowly mark fleeting time as he sat at his desk and on\nthe day In question suddenly started\nup in a temper and broke the emblem\noff. The hand still shows a mark\nwhere it was mended and the fleur-de-\nlis readjusted. The Jean Blanchet who\nin his respect for dethroned royalty\nrecorded his indignation at Danton.'s\nact Is unknown, but he may be supposed to have been the watchmaker\nwho mended tho broken hand.\u2014London Telegraph.\nThere ls a need ln every home of a I\nmedicine that will promptly cure bll-\nlousness,  kidney derangement,     and\nconstipation.\nA medicine that by cleansing the I\nfiltering and excretory organs will remove all poisonous waste matter, and ,\nby so doing prevent fevers, colds and\nsuch deadly diseases as dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease.\nNo medicine satisfies the need so\nwell as Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver \u25a0\nPills.

He moves\nwith remarkable rapidity even when\nthe ground In which he Is burrowing ls\nhard. Whon operating In soft ground\nhe moves along at a surprising gait.\nBut this Is not the point I wanted to\nmake. I was thinking of the remarkably good hearing of the mole and the\nease with which he can get away Just\nat the moment when you think you\nhave him cornered. Of course now and\nthen you can drive a spike through the\nmole before he Is aware of lt. If you\ndo you will have to walk as light as a\ncat and will bave to act as quickly as\nthe same animal when the time comes\nto act. In nine cases out of ten the\nmole will hear the flrst footfall. At\nonce he will quit plowing. He is gone.\nSearch as you may, you cannot find\nhim. I have seen men dig for fifty\nyards, following the ridge and Its offshoots, without finding any other trace\nof the mole than tlie ridge. The mole's\nbearing Is peculiarly keen, and I suppose this Is so because he cannot see.\nBut even more wonderful from my\nstandpoint Is tbe ease and quickness\nwith which he gets away. How does he\nmanage It? Where does he go? You\nknow, the element of superstition ln\nmy makeup Is slim, and I don't believe\nIn ghosts, but somehow I have always\ninclined just a bit to the ghost theory\nwhen thinking of the mysterious antics\nof these blind burrowers. The molo Is\nmore like a ghost In his conduct than\nnnythlng I have ever known, though,\nof course, the mole Is a real and not an\nImaginary and mythical thing.\"\nA MEMORY OF LEE.\nHe   Had   Mnch   Dignity   of   Bearing\nand  Beuntr of Face.\nSoon after the Confederates began to\nenter the town (Eliznbethtowu) I met a\nfriend of mine, the son o* Dr. Doyle,\nwho told me that his father had just\nbeen sent for to see Lee and tha1: I\nmight go, too, If I ran as fast as my\nsmall legs could carry me, and we\nfound the doctor just starting. Dr.\nDoyle was a man who had been ln\ncommunication with the enemy from\nthe beginning of tlie war, but had so\nfar managed to escape the fate of\nmany Innocent men. Two of his sons\nhad been arrested a short time before\nand were lying ln jail when their\nfriends arrived and set them free.\nThe doctor was ln his old gig and,\nbeing an Immense man, left no room\nfor any one else In It, so we two boys\nsat on the springs behind. It was on\nthe Wllliamsport pike, about hulf a\nmile from the town, that we mot General Lee. He had dismounted and was\nstanding by bis horse, a small sorrel\nmare, which, I was told, It was his custom to ride on tho march. His staff\nwas brilliant ln gold lace, but he was\nvery simply dressed. No ono could\nhave seen that man without being\ngreatly Impressed with the dignity of\nhis bearing and the beauty of bis face.\nHis balr at this time was almost entirely white, and those who had seen\nhim the year before said he had aged\ngreatly In the Bhort space of time which\nhad elapsed since the battle of Antle-\ntam. I could not help thinking of\nWashington as I looked at that calm,\nsad face. It bas been said since by\nthose who were near him that he bad\nno expectation of conquering the north\nand that at the most he only hoped to\nwin a great battle on northern soil In\norder to affect public opinion ln Europe\nand lead to the recognition of the\nSouthorn Confederacy. However that\nmay be, there was nothing about his\nbearing which looked like a great hope.\n\u2014Rev. Dr. Leighton Park ln Century.\n\"There'll   lie  No  Pie.\"\nAn energetic pastor who was making preparations to build a new church\nreceived all kinds of advice from parishioners, and the greatest amount\ncame from those who had contributed\nthe least toward the erection of the\nchurch. So at the regular services on\nthe following Sunday he said:\n\"I have been receiving lots of advice\nduring the last few weeks.

On motion\nthe Chairman was asked to appoint\na committee of three to co-operate\nwith the Municipal Council, to get\nthe Provincial Government to open\nup roads through the said reserve,\nand charge flic cost of the said roads\nagainst the property, and sail the\nsame to bonaiidc settlers 011 the improvement plan\u2014on the same principle as the Central Park small holdings\u2014 but in no case to give a title\nto the property until the necessary\nimprovements are made.\nTlicCommittee and Council were\nalso requested to get sufficient\ngrounds for a large park, in the most\n.-.iiii.ii,.. 1 localrioln;, reserved ifor the\npublic, before the said reserve is cut\nup.\nIt was reported to tiie meeting that\nce'ain parties were making an effort\nlo get a licence for an hotel nr sal-\nloon, within tthe municipal limits.\nThis brought forth many vigorous\nspeeches against any such proposition.\nIt was held that South Vancouver\nwas favorably situated as residential property, and that residents and\nrate-payers could not afford to allow\nsuch a menace to the welfare of society as a saloon or hotel, where in\ntbj.tc_.ting liquor is sold, be located\nin any part of the Municipality.
