Twenty-five years ago Matthew Bulbous had forsaken the plough in his native parish and come up lo London to .nuke his fortune. His education consisted of a good knowledge of the ''able of land, and of little more but the deficiency was supplied by a hard head and a determination lo make all the money he could at the expense of others; for he had no capital to start with beyond a couple of hundreds which he borrowed to open an ollice and advertise He made his fortune. When he commenced business as an 'estateagent, auctioneer, and valuer,'money was being made in the nation at a rate almost unprecedented, and the 'new men' wanted country estates to give them position and social consequence. Hence there was great buying on the side of the rich, and selling on the side of the embarrassed ; and there was correspondingly great business on the part of the agents. To avail himself of this tide sf business prosperity Matthew Bulbous: worked hard, and his energy and deteriniii- j ation had their reward. Then came a turn in the tide, when business grew depressed, j and rents could no longer he paid as of old, ] and estates, old and new, came crashing I into the market. Matthew Bulbous found j this state of ruin as profitable us the lormer l spell of prosperity. Estates had to be sold, instead of bought; and before they left his hands, Matthew Bulbous wrung from them I the last guinea he could extract for surveys, I valuations, reports, expenses, and commissions ; and many u hapless seller turned ��� pale when Bulbous and Bore's account was presented to him, with the amount! already deducted from the "deposit" which 1 it is customary for the agent to receive ] from the purchaser, As for the partner,' Bore, Matthew Bulbous had devoured him years ago. Matthew was a rich man now, and ���in I his spare hours���a man of great local stand-; ing at Blaokheath���churchwarden, ohairman of meetings, a tower of eminence in lhe locality. He kept a line house, had a wife i and (laughter, and a son who resided in I chambers in London and was reading for tlie i bar. This son was his great hope, and in' him all his ambition was centred, lie hail been foolish enough once to take a house in town for tho "season," with the desire of making a position in society. In such a case a man is made or marred by his wife. I Matthew Bulbous did not spare money in this matter. But Mrs. Bulbous failed, 'she! was not worthy of him. She was shy and timid, incapable of rising to tho position I provided for her. Her daughter was form*, edofthc same abject material. Mr. Hub bons thenceforth despised them both, and centred all his hopes in his sou. Matthew, Bulbous had a great deal to do with gentle, men in the way of business, and was a good judge nt one. Being uneducated himself, he strenuously he'd that a gentleman wa* not made by education but by " blood." When his sou .lames left the University, Matthew ' perceived that he was undoubtedly a gentleman as well as a scholar, and the fact furnished him with food for a good deal of thought, "III have failed myself," was his frequent reflection. " through his mother's incapacity, Jem shall make up for it. I will take care that he marries blood!" Which meant that the son should not be matrimonially handicapped, as the father had been. Fortune���which in the case of such men as Matthew Bulbous, means the quick and resolute seizure of opportunities���fa\ nred his aspiiations. Whilst the young mm was reading law, his father, allunknowi him, was arranging for him a inatrimiiiu.il alliance with the daughter and only of an Karl. To be sure, from another point of view, the match might not be thought brilliant: but an Karl's la ighte be had every day. Lord Polonins �� man of shady reputation, who found Belfol liged te bring his burdened patri into the mark,'.. I'h" estate was mortgag, ed for more than it wis now i and little likelj to attract t pun ;. i e After lying on his hands (or Borne time, in ideagleame I ipon Matthew Bulbous of buying tin- eat te ��� II ind [jiving it',, his son. Jem wis i gentleman ind would fil the position. The position,;',", v m . him an added .; intagc \,,-.v. in his iwn line.quite anmspe, ted by M itthewBulbous, Karl Polonius was ',1111,' , mat' 1, foi I , sharp man of business, He penetrated the man's ambition, and astutely turned it to his own advantage. To the last day o( his life Matthew Bulbous will never he able 10 recollect clearly what, it was that first, suggested to him llie idea of starting his son in life as the husband of Lady Jessulindn -���. ' (ieorge, or how ii was that he and Lord 1 Polonius Iirsl understood each other's views' on the subject. It uns probably due to the ' superiority of the Karl's genius; bul this does not matter, Matthew Bulbous bought ahe estate of Kirby St. t,t:,rn., and was obliged, under the special circumstances, to give Lord Polonius ten thousand pounds over and above the amount of thc mortgages. This transaction ratified the agreement between them that, subject to the concurranco of the parties, Lady Jessalinda and Mr. dames Bulbous should be married���the latter assuming, by ibe generous condescension of the Karl, the family name and arms of St. (Ieorge. Matthew Bulbous wan a very proud man Lady Jessalinda's age and pros- knowiuj peels. "I'm going���ahem���to dine with Karl Polonius, and his daughter, Lady Jessalinda St. (Ieorge, this evening," he observed to his wife and daughter with a bad assumption of nonchalance. -Mrs. Bulbous, a gentle and very sweet- faced lady, and her daughter started with a faint "Oh ! " and looked at the master in .somo anxious doubt as to what was expected of 1 beni in the way of reply. "I just mentioned it," he said carelessly, "because I shall ask them to dinner here one day next week, and I expect you to be prepared.'' "Shall there be any others, .Matt!" the wife timidly asked. " No, except. Jem. It will be quite a private family affair. Vou needn't be nervous aboul it, because. But that's enough for the present." He left the room, but soon came back, which showed that the great matter was more in his mind than he desired them to suppose. "Of course," he remarked, "you are not so familiar with the higher ranks as 1 am��� meeting them every day in business, and all lhat so���that you must not be fussy or nervous. Put on some dignity, and be at your ease, as if you were used to it. I'll bring home a book for you both to study up. I won't have them think," he added firmly, "that we are overwhelmed with the honour. I'll���I'll have my eye upon both of you, remember. Lord Polonius anil Lady Jessalinda arc getting the best of the bargain, as you shall see in good time. That's all," he said, turning to go away. " Except this, Mary: you are not to call me ' Matt' when they are here���it isn't the thing. ' Call me 'Mr. Bulbous,' or���or," he added, somewhat doubtfully, "or'Mr. Bulbous, my love,' if you like; and 1 will do the same. Of course Agues will not speak unless she is spoken to." Leaving the two ladies a little pink in tho face, he went away to his business. It was mysterious to them, but ;iiey had to await his pleasure to explain what it meant. Bulbous was cross and impatient when he came ' home in tho evening to dress, because he | was conscious of being nervous and of betraying it. He had never before been an invited guest ut a lord's house. He was to be the only guest, too, which to begin with, was not giving him what ho considered a fair start. Matthew Bulbous was thinking less of Lord Polonius and Lady Jessalinda than of the terrible, silent, observant menials. When he returned at half-past eleven, it was plain to be seen that the dinner had gone oil' well; perhaps Matthew Bulbous had discovered hitherto unknown powers of rising to the occasion. He had dropped into a club on his way home, and casually mentioned to several men he knew that he had been dining with Karl Polonius and Lady Jessalinda; he had even hinted at more. He , was therefore in good humor when he got! home. I "Mary," he said to his wife, as he flung! himself in an easy-chair and stretched out I his legs, "did you ever know me to fail in ' anything that I undertook?'' "No, Matt," was the gentle reply. "1 never yet," he continued reflectively, j "got my eye on a properly that was doom-1 ed for the market that I didn't in the end ' have the selling of it andall the busines the I thing was worth���ay, though 1 waited for j years, never losing sight of it for a day, That's lhe way 10 succeed; be patient, keeping steady on the track, and you'll run dowu your came iu the end. Well, I have sue-1 ceeileil again. It's a big thing, but I have1 succeeded." "I am sure you have, Matt, whatever it is." 1 " But you don t dream what it is. What's the good of being rich if you can't stand high ? If it hadn't been for Well, there ;! I won't talk about it now," he said gener- ously, noticing the look of pain in his wife's tic. "That was a failure! hut if you are not capable yourself of succeeding, why shouldn't your children rise. Isn't Agnes '.e re, .villi a bit of money, good enough for any ~well in the Guards. I'd like to know, if she only had the ability to work hetself up? But she hasn't, and we'll have her wanting to marry an attorney or something of that sort, one tine day. That's how- they treat us." Meier uv, laughter exchanged 1 glance inwardly trembled; for they hai 1 dread secret between them renting to a H .. h it was terr;iue to think of Mr. Bulbous discovering.

Leaving the lades immersed in the interesting discover,' that Lady Jessalinda had reached the nature age of thirty-live, let us follow Mr. lulbous to London. When a man rses to a higher sphere, he owes to it the duly of lopping oil'all connections which arc net calculated to adorn that elevated plane. One such Mathew Bulbous had in his mind tiis morning to be rid of at once. This win a brother, who in several ways had been iseful to him in his business for a numberof years ; but who, on his usefulness ceasingwith the fuller growth of the house, had talcn to dissipation on an allowance made ti him for that purpose. Joseph Bulbous poved of tough vitality ; but .Matthew would not now have him about London any longc. .Matthew foundthis brother in a lodging in Chelsea, sitting over a lire after a late breakfast. ' I don't, tliink his life is doing well with you, Joe," he said sitting down and looking curiously at tic dissipated face of his brother. " You isked me, once, to send you to Canada, I'erhaps I ought to havo done sol hardly kiow." The colour rosi for an instant to the other's forehead, md faded again. "If you had sent me thin," he replied, without looking up, "it night have been different. I don't think it nutters now. 1 am hardly lit to make a new start; though, if it comes to that," he added bitterly, " I have never made one." " No, you novel have. It wasn't in you, Joe," " Wasn't in nie?" answered Joe, with a Hash. "Havel iver had the chance? If you had left me at htmic on the farm, I might have done well enough, liut you wanted me foryou-own purposes; and after making use of me ill those years, and allowing nie no chance ��f doing anything for myself, you say���it wasn't in me ! No one knows better than you, Matt, whether I've ever had a clunici or not. It didn't suit your interests to let nie find one ; and like a fool, I did your work, until you used up the best part of mj life." " Well, I am gong to givo you a chance now," replied Miuhew, not in the least moved. "Yon are of no use to yourself or anybody else in England. I will send you to one of the colonies." "Itis not from my interest in me that you propose doing si," said the other, who knew his brother we.l. " Suppose I refuse to go?" " Then you may starve. I daresay they would pitch you oul of here in a week," observed Matthew quietly. He knew his power over the broken-down ma)), and so did the latter. Joseph Bulbous turned pale, and gave his brother a look which indicated more hate than fear. Ue made one or two efforts to speak, but evidently the quiet masterful presence of his brother was terrible to him. Then he turned quickly to a cupboard where there was brandy, and with shaking hand swallowed a draught of the liquor. Matthew smiled under his heavy moustache ; he saw how beaten the poor creature was. " If 1 swallowed half of that stulTin the morning, Joe,"he observed good-humoured- ly, " I should be lit for nothing all day. Joe, what an inside you must have 1" "Never mind," said Joe, grown calmer. "I don't mind saying I am quite ready to go. But why ? At any rate, 1 have never betrayed your confidence," There was no particular reason why Matthew Bulbous should make known to his brother the great family matter. But it gratilied him to unbend a little, contrasting his own splendid success with the broken brother's abject failure. " I am giving Kirby St. (Ieorge to Jem.. He is going to marry Lady Jessalinda Si. George, and to assume the family name and arms. 1 am going into Parliament myself, and Jem will he iu lhe first time there's a vacancy in his county. What will they think ot all that, now, down in Bullworth?" Bullworth was their native place. Matthew- smiled widely as he spoke. Joseph ran his fingers through his thin unbriisheil hair and for a minute looked dazed. He saw now why Matthew wanted to be rid of him. He was an undesirable connection. Yet he was natmally a cleverer man than his brother, and felt very bitterly that he had helped largely���in ways Matthew could not follow���to make that fortune, of which this was his share. N���w, iu Joseph Bulbous realised the position, a gleam of quick intelligence shut, from his rheumy eyes.

Whatever he thought, he gave no direct reply to this; but after thinking a minute, observ d with a grin: "I think you had better, Mat l, for your own sake, not seek to see Mrs. Jem. She's a terror." "A���what?" "A terror, Matt," was the grave reply, "especially when sho is under certain influences, She'd tear you. Poor Jem ; it is always thc best sort of fellows they catch ; but she was (and is still) good-looking��� there's no denying that. No, no ; take my advice, and give Mrs. Jem a wide berth." Matthew Bulbous asked no more information, ioseph stood at the window watching the cab with a smile of malicious satisfaction as his brother drove away. " Thai's one for you, Malt," he remarked. "I hope it will do you good." The revelation of his son being married, which he did not for a moment doubt, was a tremendous blow to Matthew Bulbous. Such defiance of his authority he had never thought of as possible. He was not a man to look for gratitude: but in return for all ho had done for his son, he did claim unquestioning submission to his will aud pleasure in all things. It was his undoubted right, he argued ; and consequent. ly he had looked for his son's acquiescence in the marriage Boheme as a matter of course. " Where should he be now,"said Matthew to himself, "if it wasn't forme? Why at the tail of a Bullworth plough !" And to think of a young man who by rights ought to be ploughing the fields, defying his father by marrying a music-hall actress, and thereby frustrating his father's design of making him a country gentleman and the husband of an Karl's daughter���it was too much to bear thinking of. Yet when he reached his son's chambers hci ooked cool and quiet. There was not ,t sign of disturbance in his large steady eyes. Jem was u handsome young man, very like his mother and sister, and roso quickly when his father entered the room. The latter, however, did not sit down or lemove his hat. "I have just heard something that has surprised mo," he said very quietly. "Is it a fact that you are married?" James Bulbous started, changed colour, and dropped his eyes for a moment. Then lie looked frankly in his father's face. "I ought to have told you father. I am ashamed both before Gertrude and you not to have done so. Yes, sir; I am married." Matthew examined the pattern of tho carpet, for a few seconds. "Have your mother and sister heen aware of this ?" "No, sir." "Very well. You have taken your course. Vou havo no further claim upon me." That was all. The young man reddened and inclined his head. Matthew Bulbous walked from the room, pausing to inspect au engraving on the wall, and drove away to his ollice, It was over, as far as tho son was concerned. But the blow struck Matthew Bulbous harder in another quarter. Lord Polonius would have to he informed of the downfall, of the marriage project. His lordship would doubtless be disappointed ; but M itthew realized with bitterness of heart tho polite equanimity with which Polonius would beat it. He had ten thousand pounds of Matthew's money to console him, and the ten thousand maledictions now accompanying the money would disturb his lordship very little. This was the keenest agony of it; the wily old Earl had beaten him. ,1cm was married. The curses, deep and silent, breathed by Matthew Bulbous ou their wedded life, were tempered only by the vindictive satisfaction with which he reflected on what the woman was. The more reason the son had daily to repent -it the marriage the greater would be the father's gratification. Matthew knew the kind of creature she was���knew the life she would lead her husband now that the liberal money supplies were cut off. He laughed aloud, thinking of it. It was his only comfort.

It is eleven years since he entered the service of the Congo Free State. Of the hundreds of white servants of the State employed in the far interior, not one, except f.egat, has lived more than three years in Africa before going home to Europe for recuperation. Legat, alone has never asked for a vacation. For ten years he has not seen the sea. l''or most of the time he has lived alone, surrounded by savage tribes, and with no comforts or conveniences of civilization save those which he could himself provide. He is now almost in the geographical centre of Africa, the sole representative of the State in King Msiri's couutry, northwest of Lake Bangweolo. ,\o agent of the State has seen him for a year, but it is supposed that Delcommune's expedition, currying supplies to the lone. Belgian, will soon reach him. Legal is now '62 years old. He is so completely isolated from his fellow officers that if he were to start for the nearest post it would take him three'and a half months to reach it; and ho could not reach it steamer for Europe in less than 200 days, For two years he lived without a single European assistant at Luebo, on the Upper Kassai River, nearly 500 miles above Stanley Pool. Twice a year a steamer visited him to replenish his supplies, and learn how he was nourishing iu the wilderness. These were red-letter days for Legat, for then he received letters from his mother and news from the outside world. Fatigues, privations.and isolation apparently have had nooffeot upon Logat's iron frame. He was born to pioneer the way into just such savage regions as Central Africa. He was four months travelling to his presont post, and all his friends believe he intends to spend years yet in Africa. The Congo Free State has twelve agents in its service who have spent nine years in the Dark Continent, but, every three years they have returned to Europe to recruit their health. The ease of Legal is, soexceptional that King Leopold 11. has honored him with a special medal to commemorate his services. His rank is that of Lieutenant in the public force, and he is the most striking example yet known of the possibility of men of certain temperaments and nigged health living uninterruptedly in Africa without suffering from the trying climate. The Black Death. The beginnings of the black death aroso in China about the year 1333 with drought and famine in the groat river plains, which were followed by Hoods so violent thai ���101),- (itli) people perished, (treat telluric convulsions occurred over the same tracts. The mountain Tsincheoil fell in and vast clefts were formed, from which it is said that noxious vapors ascended. Anyhow, Hood and famine were followed next year by a terrible plague, which carried oil' 5,000,000 of the wretched Chinese, while in 1337 a still more dreadful famine destroyed another 4,000,000. The destructive march of the pestilence can not now be accurately traced; but it swept along from oasi to west, slowly enough, but with inexorable wing. Humors of trouble an.l disaster heralded its approach. A thick, sinking mist was reported to herald or accompany the march of the fell destroyer. Nor were there wanting signs and wonders in the sky, and a grand conjunction of tho throe superior planets, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars, in the sign of Aquarius, 24th March, 1345, might have been read by those acquainted with the secrets of the stars as portentous of unheard-of disasters. That the infection was conveyed in the air and spread itself with the varied tides and currents of the aerial ocean seems evident, for it fell upon ships at sea and ravaged the most secluded places, but it was also extremely contagious and followed the lines of trade routes, and seized upon every artery of traffic, In England the black death made its first appearance in Dorsetshire, and, quickly spreading over the West, it reached London by way of Oxford, leaving death and desolation behind everywhere. It was as fatal in the country as in the town, Whole villages were depopulated and small towns almost wiped out of existence. Tho dead lay uuburicd as they had died, for priests had been swept away with their Hocks, and in many parishes there was no one left to celebrate mass, while every trade and craft was suspended in the universal terror and suspense. To adil to the horror of tho times bands of murderers roamed about unmolested, robbing alike the dead and the living ; und dogs, deprived of their masters by death, came together in packs, made ferocious by hunger, and scoured the country like so many hands of wolves. The Wife of 2,000 Years Ago. " Wives, obey your husbands" would seem to be an even stronger point in Confucian than in Pauline doctrine, from the sample translations by Miss A.C. Stafford of an ancient Chinese work, in 313 chapters, instructing women as to tho behaviorexpected of them. The work is 2,000 years old. Tho first duty of a Chinese woman, so the book says, was to " reverence her husband as heaven." She must not hesitate to die for him, and one of the little anecdotes related to encourage obedience is that of a peasant, who, during a severe famine, was seized by some soldiers, who proposed to make a meal of him. " .My husband is very lean," pleaded the wife, " he will bo scarcely a mouthful. I am fleshy and of dark complexion, and they say that the flesh of such persons is excellent eating." Her argumen prevailed, and spared her husband, As to how she should comport herself the book says: " In tho presence of her parents or parents-in-law a woman may not sneeze or cough, neither stretch, yawn, nor loll about when tired, nor may she presume to stars at them. She should wear a happy face and a mild, pleasant deportment in serving them, in order lo soothe them." Tho wife of a certain Liu Kung-tsch comes in for a large share A Good Reason.

The Domestic Tyrant. The normal idea of a domestic tyrant is of course some coarse-minded, brutally disposed husband who scattered his household before him as chaff is scattered by tbe wind. Oppressive as a husband, he is also jealous. Betore such a man as this the ohildren are broken-spirited and cowed ; the servants fly to obey his smallest wish ; the dogs rush from him, their tails between their legs; to the very cabman he is a "harbitary.gent;" to his tenants he is the Black Death in person. His speech in society is like the firing off of minute guns, sharp, peremptory, ungrared by preamble or code. Or it may be, when he is a hypocrite as well as a tyrant, his " company manners " are graceful, soft, gentle, and his flattery is as thick and slab as hutterand honey mixed together. Women are seldom of the latter type. They rarely disguise themselves so well. When a wife has thc box seat and holds thc reins, the world knows pretty well what the condition of things really is. Despising the man whoso place she has usurped, she is at no pains to conceal her contempt. She opposes him sharply ; contradicts him flatly ; looks him down at his own table; and lets both him and the world seo that she regards him as a fool not worth the trouble of conciliating, or the effort involved in reasoning with. She interferes with his every action; forbids him to smoke : allowances his wine ; sends him oul or keeps him at home, as she thinks best; despises his pursuits, and, when she can, takes them from him as she would take their toys from her children. His pet dog she banishes; his favourite books she puts away ; if he is fond of gardening, she digs up and turns over his flower-beds for a tennis ground ; if ho is an adept at tennis, she breaks up the court to make a rose-garden. Her tyranny is like a Nasmytli hammer, and finds nothing too large or too small for its manipulation. The whole family suffers equally with the unfortunate husband, Wherever she appears she brings with her both tyranny and interference. Her children are trained and managed till thoy have not a spark of naturalness or spontaneity left in them. In whatever they arc doing, she must interfere and ordain. At croquet she tells them where to send the ball; at tennis she makes them nervous by shouting out unfriendly commentaries on their play; at the piano she objects to their fingering, and wishes to alter their light and shade ; at the easel she bids them scumble up the whole picture as it stands and begin it anew on her liues. She is always changing her servants, with whose work ami methods she interferes till they lose their patience���when either they are impertinent and so discharged on the spot, or disheartened and discharge themselves. She is the scourge of the family quite as much as that more brutal natured man. He is the hornet and she the wasp- be is the bluebottle and she is the housefly ; and there is not a pin's poiut to choose between them. Each is detestible after the law of his or her kind, and the tyranny of a woman is to the full as ill to bear as the tyranny of a man, and perhaps it is more annoying because more incessant. Besides these two tyrannies of authority are others which rule the family and make every member impartially miserable. Look at the tyranny of children���how they take the very lifo out of a gentle mother ? Their tempers, their demands, their wishes, their dislikes, all rule the order, the common life of the house, and everything and every person must give way to them. Sometimes one sees this kind of thing with a widowed mother, over whom her children attempt to exert supreme authority. So ceaseless their demands, and so unsleeping their jealous activities, she leads among them the life of the traditional toad under the harrow; and she has been known to marry the man who loved her���but she not loving him���to escape from the bondage of her eldestdaughter. Tyranny is hateful at all times and in ali circumstances; but the tyranny of the young brings with it a bitter taste of mock- skirt is attached to a black satin corselet which is whaleboiied to a point half-way up the back, then tapered along the sides to a small ehou in front, leaving the waist perfectly round. Two yellow China silk blouses accompany this jacket md skirt, one finely speckled with black, the other with pencilled stripes of black more than an inch apart. Tbey ure shirred to the neck in front and back, and have a drawing-string around the waist. A pointed shield-shaped piece on the front is shirred down through the middle, and is needle-worked in black silk iu scallops on each edge The turned- down collar and cuffs are also scalloped with black. Navy blue crepon with snow-flake, of white, and ribbed crosswise, is one of lhe novelties for spring dresses. It is made to give a princesse effect, yet the waist is full, and is girdled with black satin ribbon to hide the joining of the skirt. This girdle is in wide folds even around the lower edge, and pointed up in Swiss fashion in the back, the fulness of the bell skirt being gathered each side of the sloped back seam and strappod on to the satin. White chiffon is accordion-pleated as a long plastron, and hooked to the left under lhe girdle. A collar of white Irish point curves low like a yoke. The immense sleeves droop at the top, and are simply turned back an inch from the wrist and faced with black satin. A navy blue serge dress has the popular yellow shade for a Mikado blouse of India silk wilb large blue designs on the pale yellow ground, the whole m accordion pleats that begin at the back of the neck, then are drawn forward under the arms, and cross the fronts below a square yoke of navy blue satin. A jabot of the broadest sash ribbon of the same blue shade is pleated in three clusters at the top, then the ribbon passes plainly to the waist line ami ends in two choux. Over this is worn a serge jacket, us short us an Eton jacket, lilted by <i seam down the back, and trimmed on the front edges with three-cornered revers of the serge corded wilb the yellow silk, and also with the deep blue satin. The sleeves are gigot-sliiiped, and the bell skirt has a wide border of blue satin ribbon piped with yellow and blue cords. A fawn vigogne dress with Eton jacket fronts has the coat back belted with black satin ribbons with sash ends. Great variety of color is given n the front of this dress, as the jacket ha3 revers of violet velvet opening on a gathered vest of green velvet widely girdled with black satin ribbon, while a cravat of ecru Mechlin lace falls from the black ribbon collar.

So much has been said reiently concern ing a possible war between the States and Great Britain th-.t it short de Remember the Family Anniversaries. As a people we pay far too little attention to birthdays and other family anniversaries. Too much cannot be done to make home attractive, so that our boys and girls will prefer it to all other places. "This has been the nicest day I ever knew," said a, boy to his mother one evening. "The birds have all been singing, and the sun has shone every minute, and everything has been so lovely, just for your birthday, mamma, and I am so glad!" and he emphasized his gladness with a hearty hug and kiss. For weeks the boy had been looking forward to this day, planning and making it little birthday gift as a surprise, and when the time came his whole mind was given to making his mother happy. "But its so much trouble to celebrate birthdays," complain some mothers, "and in litrt'e families they come so often." Yes, it is some trouble, but how can we keep our children contented and happy at home without taking trouble? And no mother regrets the trouble when she sees her children regarding their home as the very best place in the whole world. Try to celebrate the birthdays one year, and see if it does not "pay" in the enjoyment of the whole family. Let no one be forgotten from father to baby, and try to have each one interested in all the others, planning, if possible, some little birthday gift. No mutter how simple or trifling it may be the love and thoughtfiilness which go with it will make it precious. A Physician's Opinion Abont Corsets. A physician said ; " With some women I am told the main object of wearing a corset is that they shall have fine busts, but as a matter of fact corset wearing is accountable for the lack of development that one sees in many young women of the day. Were they to throw away their corsets they would find that in a short time the longed for development would come, and unless they were uncommonly lean or in poor health they would not have so very long to wait either. In all the photographs of wild women that one sees, whether they are Sioux, Sumatrans or South Sea Islanders, one observes that a lack of bust development is the exception and not the rule. Nature is nature every time, and natural woman is healthy woman under ordinary circumstances and conditions. I may state that il is not always well to be too precipitate in this matter of throwing aside the corset. " The best way for a woman to rid herself of corsets is to first loosen them up and wear them that way for a few weeks. This will in itself give her great freedom and will prepare her for the greater comfort which she )s sure to enjoy later when she shall have finally oast oil her tightly buckled shield and made of herself a wholly free woman. Then let the Btrings be let out still further and further, until the ribs of the corsets give actually no support to the back, when they may be discarded. In this particular, you will see, there is no exception to the rub ��������� that radical and extreme measures suddenly ery and unfitness; and the sense of more applied often result disastrously. It is bet- than ordinary topsyturveydom associated ! ter to take the reform in hand with a deter- with it gives it a grim grotesqueuess that is half ils unpleasantness. ���-- Easter Costumes. Fawn-coloured wool dresses with black and yellow accessories are newer and more stylish than the gray and tan wools so long iu favour. Navy bluo is also revived, and is as often heightened by yellow combinations as by the use of bright red. Exclusive modistes havo imported street dresses of fawn wool dotted with black, mado with a jacket corsago that hits throe Norfolk box pleats down the buck, belted there by black satin ribbon tied iu the middle with upright loops ami long sash ends.

The very wide hell skirt mmation not to pursue it too hastily. " Yes, I have no objection to what are known as 'waists.' They are all well enough, if the women must wear something to keep them in shape, as they call it. There is a great deal of difference between the reeds and bamboos in the ' waists' and the steel and whalebone of the corsets. Compared with the corsets they are, indeed, quite harmless," Out of Kepair, Mr, l'eterby���I'll have to send Molly's shoes to the shoemaker. Mrs. l'eterby���Are they very much out of repair ?

It is safe to say that Canadians would have attempted nothing very important in that, direotion had it not been for the constant agitation of the Conservative Loyalists, many of whom appear to be firmly persuaded that Canada will ul some future date bo the battlefield upon which the two great Anglo-Saxon nations of the globe will light it out. 'This feeling was atone timeso strong in the House of Commons that when the late Sir John Macdonald, then Premier of Canada, proposed the construction of the Canadian I'acilic Bailway, he spoke of its commercial advantages usofau important, hul secondary consideration, his main argument being that tbe railway would form an uninterrupted line of communication and defence from ocean to ocean, which could be placed in direct communication with Great Britain and India by armed steamers at each of ils extremities. For the purpose of defending this line and of bearing the brunt of a first attack, a permanent militia establishment composed of the whole population, divided into classes, was organized, and when, some years ago, the imperial forces evacuated every Cana- di an fortress except Halifax, small garrisons of Canadian regulars, doing duty also us military training sobo-ds, were quartered at Frederioton, Quobeo, St. John, Kingston, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Victoria, in all a total establishment of (ICG non-commissioned olliccrs and men. As a military line ol communication and defence the Canadian Pacific is by no means completed, At its western extremity, between Vancouver and Asia, a line of armed steamers has, it is true, been established, but without the protection of a powerful fortress these steamers could not render very efficient service in the way of disembarking troops. Portland, Me., is the eastern terminus of the Canadian Pacific for commercial purposes: the military terminus should be Halifax, but as there are uo direct communications by rail between Halifax and Quebec, owing to the absence of a bridge over the St. Lawrence, Quebec becomes the real terminus of the military line and remains, as of old, the key to Canada. Such as it is, the Ciiiulian Pacilic line of communication might, in consequence of the rapidity with which large bodies ot men could be moved from one point to another, be successfully held against an invading enemy by an army numerically weaker. But what could the Canadian Government do for the defence ol a frontier extending over 3,000 miles with 1,000 men of regular troops scattered from one end of the country to the other in the military schools, and with a militia force which Gen. Herbert, thu Commander-in- Chief, describes in his last report as totally unfit for service, not tine single battalion being at present in marching condition. " The equipment in use in the active mill* tia,"suys the General, " is also obsolete in pattern, and a large proportion perished irom age and severe usage. There is not a battalion that could turn out in complete marching order on a given day, though many have, at their own expense, provided some of the most necessary articles. Moreover, the equipment docs not exist in store which it would be necessary to issue in the event of grave emergency. I have not inspected a single battalion in which the men's boots would have stood one month's active service, or a regiment of cavalry or battery of artillery in which the saddlery harness could be expected to bear a similar strain." This inefficiency does not come from a want of martial spirit among the people, nor from ignorance or negligence on the part of the officers, of whom, as a body, it is impossible to speak too highly. The General says : " While I cannot express myself as satisfied with the condition of the permanent force, I must bear witness to the excellent work it has done in spite of many disadvantages. It posseses some excellent officers and non-commissioned officers, to whose constant devotion to duty, alone, is to he ascribed the marked results that ure visible, in the superior training of every officer and man of the active militia which has passed under their instruction. The faults that I have noted aro, in the majority of cases, due to primary defects of organization." With obsolete arms, worn-out equipment, and a system utterly bad, no satisfactory results can be expected and none have been obtained. During the half-breed rebellion of ISM") it required months to send 4,000 imperfectly equipped men to tho front, and it seems extremely doubtful whether, in a case of grave emergency, of the 40,000 men of active militia more than 15,000 could bo armed and equipped from tlie Government stores. A year would scarcely sullice lo (trill and discipline such it large number of raw recruits, Wero this accomplished tho force would still bo almost totally deficient in artillery, of which Gen. Herbert speaks as follows; " In the matter of artillery material tho militia is very deficient. The eighteen field batteries aro armed with guns which aro still good, but there is no reserve of guns, nor is there a spare gun wheel to bo hail nearer than Woolwich. Of heavy guns tho Dominion does not possess a single modern specimen. Of the armament handed over by tbe Imperial Government, a largo portion could not he mounted and a park could not be fired. Those at Victoria, B.C., loaned by the Imperial Government, are not at present fit for service. There is no sufficient reserve of ammunition," It is evident that such a forco as the General describes would be quite insufficient to defend the lino of communication, and, in case of a serious invasion, the oniy apparent alternative would be to do what Sir Guy Carneton did in 1775, when Montgomery invaded Canada, concentrate all the available forces around Quebec, tho head o( navigation, and await reinforcements from England. The matter has assumed such importance in the mind of the Commander- in-Chief that he has resolved to give special attention to the question of defence, as he says in his report: "So fnr I have dealt only with the active condition of tho forco to which the country must look for protec- remains to be discussed. I have submitted proposals during the past year for the appointment of a committee of militia "���""������j Iofficers to collaborate with United!., ,. . , ��� the preparation ot a scheme upon this question.

THE 00NS0 ARMY, llrilled mnl Uniformed Cannibals Unit Are I'viTlli-iit Soldiers. In ISS.'S Stanley took 100 Zanzibar and Haussa soldiers on the Congo. In the service of the Congo Free State to-day are ,'i,'~00 soldiers, a large number of whom are recruited from the villages along the great river and its tributaries. The head of the little army is the Governor Goneral, but the active control of the military force is in the hands of the Commander of the Public Force, who at present is Commander Four- din, His headquarters arc at Benin, The at'tiiy is divided into companies, with eleven Captains, ten Lieutenants, thirty-nine sublieutenants, and sixty Sergeants. Most of the olliccrs are Belgians. The litlle army is spread over the twelve districts into which the Congo State is divided. It is kept busy policing tho Government stations, giving to the Governor of each district the assistance he needs for the exploration of his territory and consolidating the political influence of the State. The largest and strongest posts are those on the Mobangi and the Aruwimi rivers and in Katanga, where strong forces are kept in order to suppress slave raids. In lSSli the Government, decided to create its army out of native elements. It found that the Bangala cannibals ou the Upper Congo developed into excellentsoldiers, and that it was much cheaper to enlist and drill them than to bring soldiers many hundreds of miles from Zanzibar and the northwest coast. The enlisted men are between fourteen and thirty years of age, and their term of service is five years. Camps of instruction are at Leopoldville and Equator Station. That use of the natives has bad an excellent etl'ect on the country, for the soldiers, under strict discipline, become in a large degree civilized, and are efl'ectivo friends of the State after their term of service has expired. Most of the military stations arc commanded by Europeans, although some of the posts around the main stations are under the charge of black sergeants. A number of the stations have been established at the request of native chiefs who like a protection, and in return for the advantages they derive from the presence of the sol cupieil by the village of lelnkh-Betou.', and hire carts for a short jaunt into the interior ; and when they have gone about two miles they will pause to take in the curious scene presented in this picture ; for here is seen one of the most interesting results of the great wave of Krakatau. There was just one man amid all that wild scene of death and devastation who was not overwhelmed in the common ruin. He escaped while 40,000 perished, He was the lighthouse keeper,wbo lived alone on an isolated rock in the strait. It Was broad daylight when Krakatau burst asunder, but in a few moments the heavens were so densely shrouded by dust, mud, and smoke that the darkness of midnight covered all the channel, The guirdian of the lighthouse was in the lantern 130 feet above the sea level. Here he remained safe and sound in the midst of the terrible commotion. He felt the trembling of his lighthouse, but it was so dark that he could not sec the threatened danger. He did not know that a tremendous wave had almost overwhelmed the lighthouse, and that its crest had nearly touched the base of the lantern. He did not hear it because he was deafened by the awful detonation of Krakatau, In a few moments the wave, over a hundred feet in height, had swept along a coast line of 100 miles on both sides of the channel. Scores of populous villages were buried deep beneath the avalanche of water. Great groves of cocoanut palms were levelled to the ground. Promontories were carried away. New bays were dug out of the yielding littoral. Every work of human hands except that lighthouse was destroyed, and 40,000 persons perished in the deluge that mounted from the sea or beneath the ruin of mud that tilled the heavens. This is a picture of a little sidewheel steam-boat that was borne on the top of that wave through forests and jungle, over two miles into the country, and was left as the wave receded in the position here shown. It will be remembered that for weeks before the final cataclysm at Krakatau, the volcano was in a suite of eruption. Pleasure parlies were made up at Batavia to visit the volcano. Not a few people landed on the island,little dreaming that in the twinkling of an eye two-thirds of it was to be blown into the air its though shot from a gun. They wished to get as near a? they thought they might safely venture to the growling crater. This little steamboat, i.. the day before the explosion, carried one ot these parties to the island. There were only twenty on board besides the crew. They spent a couple of hours around the island,ami * I then steamed up the deep and narrow bay diery they agree to furnish the men with ������ Lampong, and it is supposed they anchor- rations. The Congo State now hits thirty- j m- fol, t-,0 llig|lt j��� f,.01lt ���f the big town of Telokh-Belong,which was one of the largest settlements on the south coast of Sumatra. The ill-fated pleasure party was never heard of again. It is supposed that the boat was turned over and over like an egg shell in the surf. It had every appearance of such rough usage when it was found some months later. The machinery and furniture were badly broken, and were strewn about in the greatest contusion. But the vessel held together, and was finally set down in good shape, erect on her keel, as she is seen in thc picture, which was made from a drawing by Mr. Korthals, a member | of the Dutch scientific party sent out to : study the elfect of ihe Krakatau eruption. Only two bodies were found in the vessel. They were, of course, bo'ow deck. As it was morning when she was picked up by the wave, it is supposed that nearly everybody was on shore. Not a vestige remains of llie villages that lined the water edge. But the hulk of this little boat still stands, battered and broken, though as erect as when she ploughed the channel, and she is the tno3t curious and interesting the greatest volcanic eruption of ���__^^_,_ iVS thirty- eight garrisoned posts. Five of the posts��� Leopoldville, Boma, Bangala, Basoko, and Lusitmbo���are well supplied with cannon.

Brain in Winter. Bruin does not retire from the i_r._ till he is compelled to do so by frost and snow, He lives through the summer on berries, buds, insects oi every kind, grass, mice or auy small animal that he can get. I may say, for the benefit of the gentlemen that publish so many terrifying bear siories in the daily newspapers, that bruin is as harmless as a cow during tlie summer, and will take to his heels in fright on sight of a human being. It is only when he leaves his lair too early in the spring and he is not able to find anything to eat that he will attack man ; but he prefers a calf or sheep, and tho farmer's tale is often short at sundown. But, as I have said, when winter overtakes him he sets about lo find a winter home. He has very likely, during tlie slimmer, when poking his nose into hollow trees looking for the honey of wild bees, seen some place that will suit him, and loihislie goes straightway. The tree must be a large one, and he will not select it unless there is a space wiih plenty of room where the snow or rain can not reach him. This secured, he bundles himself together, bis head on his paws, closes his eyes, and remains in this posture, till " those blind motions ot the spring" tell that "the year has turned." 'I hen he drags himself out ami begins his struggle for an existence. Sometimes, however, when lying in this stupor, loud Bounds startle him. and his tree castle shakes; this is when the lumber- men huvo found him and are assailing the tree wilb their axes. He seldom escapes, and if he does he will surely die in the snowy forest unless he can find auother home.���[Our Animal Friends. Wonders of the Human Heart.
