"The old place is just the name, isn't it?'' says one tall beanie 1 man to another, as lhey stand at the window of the Naval and Military Club, and look out at tho lighted streets in the grey November dusk. Tlie mar, addressed turns his keen dark eyes nn his companion's face. "The same ���yes, 1 snpposj itis. It'a only people who chain:'.', you know, l'lacei ami things haven't tlieir excuse." "Well, changed or not, I'm glad to be back again," says Major Treiitermain of the Twelfth. Hc and Iiis friend, Colonel Carlisle, have just returned from Burmah, ami are enjoying the comforts of cluh-lifo, the reunion with old friends, the hundred-ami- one things thai, familiar enough once, have become of double value since sacrificed for the exigencies of foreign service, and lost through years of hard work and tierce warfare, and tho myriad discomforts of climate and life abroad. t "London is the best place in the world to enjoy lifo in," continues Trenteriiiaiii. "I'vo been looking lipoid friends to-day. Such welcomes I Didn't expect tn find so many in town, liut the country's beatitly just now; even the hunting's spoilt by the Weather." "Old friends," echoes liis companion, wmewhat drearily, "I wonder if I've got iny left. 1 feel like a .Methuselah come back; il seems a lifetime since I went abroad." He passes his hand over his short-cut iron- grey hair, and half sighs. He is a splendid- looking man. Tall, erect, powerful, with keen dark eyes and a heavy drcoping moustache, dark still in contrast to his hair ���a man who carries his forty-five years lightly enough, despite hard service and trying climate. His eyes gaze out on the darkening streets where the lamps are shining, and his thoughts go back to some thirteen years before, to a time of fierce joy aud fiercer suffering, " I wonder where she is now 1" he thinks to himself. " Pshaw ! married, of course, long ago. I wonder I have not forgotten her. Thirteen years of such a life as mine ought to knock all memories and all romance out of one." He laughs a little bitterly and impatiently, and then plunges into a discussion with his friend, which resolves itself into an arrangement to dine and go to the theatre together afterwards. "I have promised to look in at Vane's rooms," says Major Treiitermain, You'll come loo, won't you ? He is full of some new craze���nisthoticism, he calls it. All his people have gone in for it extensively, and he seems to be bitten with the same mania. Vou really should sec his rooms. Quite a study." "Oh, yes; I'll come," answers Carlisle, Indifferent. He is rarely anything else but indifferent now. [Nothing rouses or inter- ists him except, perhaps, "big game" or iiard fighting. They go to tlio Gaiety. To Carlisle the performance seems idiotic in the extreme. He is net educated up to appreciating "leg" pieces, or to calling the balderdash of bad puns and coarse jokes "wit." " Do come away. 1 can't stand this trash," he mutters, impatiently. " But that's lielie Burton singing," remonstrates Treiitermain, who is moro "up" to ihe goings oa of London as it is, than his friend. " What of that ?" demands Carlisle. " Everyone's talking of her. She's " (Then cornea a mysterious whisper.) Colonel Carlisle frowns and tugs his heavy moustache. " Vice idealised as 'celebrity.' I'mph ! That's a modern definition ? Suppose I'm old-fashioned enough io look upon it as it is. Come, you can't really earn for such rubbish, Trent, It's an Insult to 10m mon sense. I think.

"It is all new and strange to you, .Ivthcticism, as interpreted by modoril hierophants, is, of course, essentially different from the Hellenic school; but its aim and object is the same���to beautit'y the common things of life, to ennoble the soul, us well as please the eyo and elevate the senses." "Well, lam not sufficiently up in the subject to understand or argue about it," laughed the Colonel. "Perhaps after tonight " " Ah, yes! Wait till you see her I" cries Vane, enthusiastically. "Sho who has converts by the hundred, whose intellect is as beautiful as thc body which is its temple ; lo whom not only the worship hut tho perception of art is a natural and exquisite impulse ; whose grace, whose mind, whose movements " "Oh, for Heaven's sake spare mo any I more 'serpentine' descriptions I" entreats Carlisle. " I am quite ready to believe in I this wonderful high priestess of yours. Is 1 she anything like Ellen Terry?" " Ellon Terry is siiblimo also," says Vane, rebuking!)', "There's not another actress on the stage could walk iu those clinging draperies of hers. Is she not a poem ?" ".She acted one,"snys the Colonel, dryly. "I saw hor in 'The Cup.' Iain not educated up to the appreciation of subtleties yet," " I have met at least a dozen fair-haired girls who have all told ine they were considered 'so like Ellen Terry,' " puts in Trent- ennain, "I began to think she must be n 'priestess' also," " Ah, there arc a good many changes since I was in London last," says the Colonel. "But there, I see you are impatient to be off. You���you don't mean to say vou arc going to wear thut Slower, Vane?" He points to a gardenia in his button-hole as he speaks. " Yes; why not ?" demands hia friend in surprise. " Oh ! I thought the sunflower or tho lily was only admissible,"saysCarlisle,gravely, " I was going to ask if it would he possible to procure one each for Trent and myself before entering the Temple of Art and JKsthetieisni." It is simply out of idle curiosity that Carlisle hasaccompanicdVaneaiid'f'rontcrmain. Ho expects to be terribly bored ; but when they alight at the famous house in Kensington, and everywhere he sees the delicate, subdued hues, the softly-shaded lights, the gracefully-arranged ferns and shrubs and hot house blossoms, the artistic yot suitable dresses of the attendants, who move about so unobtrusivelyltliere is not a man-servant anywhere), the strange hush and quietude, broken by no loud voices or discordant laughter, he begins to think the ueiv school is not so bad after all. " And now for the priestess," he says in a whisper to Trent, as they follow their friend from the tea-room, which is simply a gem. His tall figure passes through tho curtained doorway. A light like moonlight fills all the room into whicli he enters. His bead towers above Vane's and straight before him he sees a woman with a halo oi golden hair loose about her brow, with a a soft, languid, serious smile, with Their eyes meet. After thirteen long years of absence and separation, Cyril Carlisle finds himself once again in thc presence of the only woman he has ever really loved. " Colonel Carlisle, Lady Etwynde Fits- Herbert," Hc bends over her hand as she gives it. In that moment she is calmer, more self- po.-sessi.il than himself. " I���Ihope���I beg,"hestammers,confns- : I'dly. " 1 mean, I had no idea when Vane I asked me to come here that I should find j myself in yonr house." " 5 o. ... i very welcome," she siys. ami I the low, tender music of iier voice thrills him with exquisiti pain. "I���Isawyour regiment had returned. You have been i'a ij . ureal many ye u ."

CHAPTER XXI, "TWO THAT JUVE I'.U'TKD LOST.." The crowd has lessened ; the rooms are thinning now. A great actor stands up to give a recitation, He selects one of Browning's poems. Lady Etwynde, having heard it often before, withdraws into one of the smaller rooms, a dainty litlle place, with the exquisite colouring and artistic finish of a cameo, and with only that sort of moonlight haze shed about it that she loved so much better than the garish brilliancy of gas, or candles, To this retreat saunters also the tall figure, on whose magnificent proportion even the eyes of tho feminine icsthetes have rested with an admiration contrary to all the tenets of their school. He seats himself beside Lady Etwynde, " What a charming retreat," he says, softly. " Do you know I wish you would givo- me a little information about this ' lestheticisni,' of which you seem a high priestess ? I confess I feel quite bewildered/' She smiles. She does not look up. " Yes, I suppose it is new to you," she answers. " The worst of it is that, liko all new doctrines, it is being ruined by exaggeration. Genuine icalliolicism is, as o* course you know, the science of beauty, and its true perception and pursuit. Our school has its canons, its doctrines, its schemes and projects, on which oceans of ridicule havo been poured and yet left it unharmed. It has done much good ; it has taught the poetry of colour and arrangement to a class whose dress and abodes wero simply appalling to pooplo of taste. If you have ever sutl'ered from the gilded abominations of a millionaire's drawing-room Colonel Carlisle moves a litlle impatiently. "But is this craze to regulate our lives, to be the great 'all' of our existence? Aro men and women to go about long-haired, straight-gowned, tousled; jabbering 'intense ' nonsense and gushing over blue china and sunflowers; and is such an existence considered elevating, manly, ci useful ? To me it seems as if I wero looking on at a pantomime." "You are not educated yet," says Lady Etwynde, with a demure smile, "Everything new has, of course, its opponents. You have read Plato?" "When I was at school," answers the Colonel, surprised. " Ah I" sighs Lady Etwynde. " And you have forgotten all ho says about artistic excellence and beauty ; the relations of all physical and moral ami intellectual life should be filled with grace and dignity, the mind cultured to ils utmost capability, the body beautified by vital activity and ennobled by a healthy and carefully taught appreciation of all that is conducive to physical and mental perfection." " Has it taken you thirteen years to learn all this ?" asks Colonel Carlisle softly, as he leans forward and looks into her eyes in the silver haze of the lamplight, She earls a little.

" Someone mice said that there was a sphinx in our souls who was perpetually asking us riddles I oonfess I thought there waa one in mine when I met you to-night under such changed auspices."

Hawks, Owls and Farmers- The Department of Agriculture at Washington has recently published a work prepared by Dr. A. Iv, Fisher, assistant ornithologist of the department, under the title, "Thc Dawks and Owls of the United States in Their Relation to Agriculture." It is the general belief of scientific mon that such birds���birds of prey, ua they are called ���arc, on the whole, of great service to farmers ; but this belief is directly opposed to that which has commonly been held by farmers themselves. 'The ornithologists of the department have therefore undertaken to ascertain who is right, the farmer or the man of science. To this end about twenty-seven -hundred stomachs of newly killed hawks and owls have been critically examined. The result may bc summarized in a few words. Of tho seventy-three kinds of hawks and owls found within the United States, only six are, on the whole, injurious, Of these, three are so extremely rare as hardly to call for attention, and another���the lish hawk���is only indirectly harmful; so that of only two���the sharp-shinned hawk and Cooper's hawk���need any practical account bo taken. liut this is only half the story. Not only arc the overwhelming majority of such birds not injurious to tho agriculturist���they render him continual and extremely valuable service by'the destruction of numberless plant-destroying rodents and insects. The red-shouldered hawk, for instance, is the commonest large hawk in many parts of the country, and is commonly known���as is the red-tailed hawk also���as tlio "luii- hawk." Of this hawk two hundred and twenty stomachs wore examined; and of the food found in tbem, less than two per cent, was poultry. Thc remainder consisted of mice, grasshoppers, and a great variety of othcr things. More than sixty five per cent, of the whole was made up of noxious mammals���mice and shrews especially. Concerning Swainson's hawk, wo are told that it is particularly fond of grasshoppers. One bird has been estimated to consume at least two hundred grasshoppers in a day. In the course of a month a ilock of about one hundred and sixty-live, "whicli is a small estimate of the number actually seen together in various localities feeding upon grasshoppers," would destroy a million of thoEc pests. Facts like these should be taken into recount bv la y-makers; but it is not many years since the legislature of at least one of the Western States���Colorado���passed a bounty acl, intended to encourage the killing of hawks, Swainson's hawk included, and as a result thousands of grasshopper- eating hawks were actually killed at tho state's expense 1 Tropical Railways- Apropos of the projected Pan American Railway, it is to bo noted that not only is the first cost of railway construction in tropical countries very heavy, but tho annual maintenance of way is expensive to a degree which cannot be appreciated by these who have had no experience in this connection. The Antioquia Railroad, in Colombia, says Charles P, Yeatinan, in the "Eiiginooring Magazine," oost in a single year for repairs of track and bridges two thousand two hundred and sixty-six dollars per mile. The Cauca Railroad, in the same, year.cost three thousand eight hundred and thirty-sovon dollars per mile.

A stockman named Thompson, owning the Happy Jack cattle ranch in Nebraska, a few days ago was the hero of a most startling adventure, in which he barely escaped with his life, Thompson was on his way to lhe Platle River, south of Anselmo, with a herd of several hundred cattlo, ill search of water, the smaller streams having proven inadequate in supplying tlio vast droves ol the neighborhood, He was assisted by seven or eight cowboys, a small number, scarcely sufficient for so large a herd, and when one flank of the moving body of animals wandered off in the night from the corral looking for the water wherewith to allay their thirst, it was necessary for fully half of the herders to go after them, thus scattering the party. Thompson himself rode east, following lhe tracks if cattlo which he took for his own, but which proved lo bo those of a herd from lower down, also going to the Platte. Ho had gotten out of sight of his assist- antii and hud dismounted to examine tho trail, whioh hc w.ih beginning to suspect was a day or two old, when lie observed a horse running toward him al a rapid gallop. The animal was not saddled, but showed marks of being In recent use, and Mr. Thompson concluded lhat ho bad probably broken loose from bis owner, nnd that tho latter would soou bc out looking lor hiin.s,') resolved to catch him, Advancing, the cattleman hold out his hand to tho Strang- er.but the animal snapped at him and made a dart for the other horse,trying to bite and kicking out with his heels. Thompson now saw that the runaway was foaming in a manner that meant more than heat from his gallop, and thinking lhal thc animal was mad hastened lo his horse's help. Flinging himself into the saddle he clapped spurs to him, and made a break for the place whero he had left the slill corralled herd. The frenzied horse gave chase and then began a break-neck raco for life over lhe prairie. Thompson possessed the advantage of having the animal he bestrode fresh and under perfect control, while the pursuer was able to run only by spurts, with tho irregularity of madness, and half blindly, but in spite of this he was sufficiently near to render the chase one of great excitement and danger, for, from tho furious creature's belligerence displayed at first, it was easy to sec what would be the fate of animal or man who fell before him. So, without sparing whip or spur, Thompson (lew over the ground with the mad horso only a few dozen yards in tho rear. Tho danger was increased by the cxisteneo of large cracks in the earth gaping for water, which were often quite, wido enough to admit of the horse he rode falling with ono foot in them and breaking a limb when ho would bc at the mercy of the panting, raging animal close behind him, which allowed no time for picking the way over those pitfalls. Eut the fiery litlle Spanish mustang ridden by Thompson seemed to realize that his life and that of his rider depended on Ills skill in avoiding these cracks, and flew over them like a bird, redoubling his speed whenever the horso following gave a shrill shriek of warning. Onco Thompson saw a rattlesnake leap out at the mustang as he cleared a clump of tall prairie grass and spring at his heels; but the snake failed and fastened itself on the lower leg of the animal which came after, but with the long, greenish body still hanging to it, the mad horse did not stay for a moment, and as the mustang paused for a second to gather itself for a leap across a yielding plaoe in the earth, where n mole bad once excavated its home, gained somewhat on the flying pair. Looking back, Thompson saw the beast not more than thirty or thirty-five yards behind him, and thinking the horse almost upon him, lashed the mustang into a run that made tho ground seem to spin beneath his nimble feet, and was rapidly outdistancinghir pursuer, when he felt the girth about his steed givo way and checked him only iu time to save himself a hard fall. The saddle slid off the mustang's back, and Thompson, with his feet still in tho stirrups, fell easily to the ground. He picked himself up and scanned the prairio with anxious eyes for help of some sort. And to his relief he saw a horseman riding across the plain a quarter of a mile away, and standing up he halloed to this person. But at Iirst his cries soeincd incapable of reaching tho man, who directed his course in an oblique lino from where Thompson stood shouting to him. At last, however, his attention appeared to be attracted by the behavior ofthe mad horse, and following hiin with his eyes he made out the ranchman and caught the hitter's signals. Putting spur to llis horse, the stranger came on at a gallop, holding in one hand a gun, which Thompson saw with relief and joy, and just as the mad horse reached him and ho felt the hot broath from the open niniith flocked with bloody foam, a shot whistled past his ear and struck the maddened animal full in the forehead. He staggered and fell almost under the mustang's feet, biting and snapping about him in blind fury, but the mustang, backing away from his fallen enemy, lot ily at him with his heels, and repeatedly gave him rousing blows in the Bide, whilo the man who had come to Thompson's rescue readied tlio group, and, throwing his gun down on the agonized creatiiro, put an end to its misery and its powers for mischief. This timely help was a cowboy from the Reginald Blask ranch, who had been out shooting mule-eared rabbits when he saw Thompson's distress. Ho identified tho horse as one from a place near Broken Bow, which had been bitten several days before by a rabid dog, and had gotten out on being seized ill turn with hydrophobic symptoms, Word had been sent to all tlie neighboring ranchmen lo look out for him, for tear ho might get among the cattle and carry the poison to them by biting them. Tho first day, however, bo had broken into a drove of sheep and killed twenty or thirty of them, besides biting as many more, necessitating their slaughter, * Ee Filled the Bill.

The time required for boiling jelly is the point on which ii is nnre easy to make a mistake than on any other. Hard fruit, suoh as apples and quinces, must be boiled with a little water to draw out the juice. The juice should he allowed to drip into a basin or earthen bowl, never into a tin vessel, for the action of tin would be injurious both to color and flavor. Currants and small soft fruits intended for jelly-inakingshoiild net be gathered immediately after rain, lor the juice is then less rich, and less full of flavor. Only the best sugar should bc used for making jelly. There is no economy in using cheap sugars it contain? impurities which musl either he removed in the form of scum or which will spoil the jelly. Jelly is spoiled as much when overboiled as when uuderbollcd, if underboiled it becomes mouldy, or softens, or will not lum out in a shape : yet if overboiled it candies in time, or darkens and loses its flavor, Fruit that is dusty is not injured by being rinsed quickly in and out of cold water, but if it is gathered during rain it will bo impoverished. Flint juice that is to be converted into superior jolly should not be squeezed or pressed, but simply allowed to drip. The cloth or bag used for Btniiuing may be made of flannel or of course linen towelling; either will do so long as perfect cleanliness | is secured, Tho reason why fruit juices jelly, is because they contain a gelatinous substance, hut until the fruit becomes ripe this is of little or no value ; with cach day of over- ripeness it grows weaker.

The total shipping on the register books of the Dominion was 7,007 vessels of !>04, 1l'9 tons, valued at ��28,023,- S70. This was a decrease of 8 vessels and 41,316 tons below 1891. The Bank of British Columbia has published its annual statement in Loudon, Eng., and a balance of ��42,243 for the year is shown. Out of this a dividend of 6 per cent, and a bonus of 1 per cent, havo been paid,and ��10,000 added to the reserve fund, which is now i'270,000. A balance of ��8,243 was carried forward. The available wheat stock in Canada and the United States (about 74,000,000 bus,) amounted tn more than double that of last year, and about llueo times as much as in any of tlm previous four years. As something of an offset to this, however, it is estimated that the wheat crop of the United States is this year considerably less than ist year, and Britain must import al least 50,000,000 bushels. The last New Vork weekly bank statement was not a favorable one. It isevident that the banks arc dealing very conservatively with customers,and while this courso may serve a good end finally, It temporarily hampers business, There was a decrease in reserves for the week of ��2,527,573, The total surplus reserve above legal requirements now shows tt deficit of ��16,545,375, against deficit of ��14,017,80f last week, and a surplus of $18,428,850 for the corresponding week in 1891.

There is now a possibility of generating steam from slag. The enormous amount of heat habitually wasted in cooling molten slag has incited an Austrian to work out n scheme for generating steam by this means. The boiler or receptacle for tho water has running through it from top to bottom funnel-shaped pipes, something after the style of a camllo mould. The molten slag is poured into these receptacles and communicates its heat to the water.

About 60,000 people arc added to the population of London every year, while the outcome of thoae moving from the city, is aJinparalivcly very tmul, victory to tho British Empire, e.g., the first question establishes a zone 00 miles around I'ribylolf Islands. The second establishes a close season in the northern Pacific from the first day of .May to duly 31. The third requires that sailing vessels will only be allowed to engage in fishing, with canoes and boats included. The fourth requires that each vessel have a government license and carry a distinguishing flag. The fifth requires the log to show particulars of the sealing. The sixth abolishes firearms.except shot-guns outside Behring Sea. The seventh requires that the govornment controls tho fitness of the men engaged in sealing. The eighth exempts the Indians on the coast from restrictions when hunting with canoes und boats. The ninth makes the regulations permanent, but orders them to be submitted for examination every five years. The American Government must indemnify the owners of British vessels for illegal seizure. A representative of a commercial agency his just completed a revision of the Gaspe peninsula, having driven 200 miles in a buck- board, h-.daiiipleopportunity to post himself on the conditions of trade in that somewhat remote district. The cod is the fundamental basis of the business of that section, though salmon, lobsters, ke., are taken during the open season. A limited amount of farming is ''.one along the coast, potatoes and hay being the staple products. Potatoes are looking well and with the abundant rain of the last few weeks tho crop is assured ; the drought, however, remained too long for lho hay crop, which is almost a total failure, and in somo parts cattle and sheep will have to be slaughtered as there is nothing to winter them on. The salmon and lobster catch has been quite good tills season, and prices fairly satisfactory, tho catch of cod at somo points is as good as the average for several years, but al other places has been somewhat disappointing, As storekeepers depend almost entirely on the success of the fishermen for tho payment of their accounts a failure in this respect means a long wait lor the merchant, Tho fish business is mostly ill the hands of a few large concerns who buy (lie lish from the smaller dealers for export. There aro undoubtedly, too many general stores on tho coast for the amount of business lo be done, and loo many goods are sold on credit to people who have nothing to depend on but the fickle luck of the fisherman. One noticeable feature is the inadequate amount of insurance earriod by so many, and indeed caseB are not isolated where stocks of from $2,000 arc utterly unprotected in this ro- sped and no protection ugainst lire at hand.

The Hindoo laws relating to women not only enforce their seclusion from what wc term society, but forbid ihom from leaving the boundaries of India under any pretext. Thoy arc allowed to travel about in their own oountry under the strictest surveillance and with the proper escort, but the Bl'ttll- mins.lhe ancient priests ofthe lluddhist religion, holding their iron rule over Rajah aud low caste alike, have from time immemorial forbidden the women to travol 111 foreign lands. When the Maharajah decided upon taking his favorite wife witb lum on his visit to the United states he had to devise some means of circumventing the Brahmin tradition, and what did he hit upon but thc old disguise of Rosalind, He dressed his pretty little anana up as a boy, and sailed out on his long journey without fear ot the displeasure of tlie priests. The little lady lent herself to the part Bhe had to play, Several Americans who met the Rajah's party in Rome and other continental cities were attracted by the pretty youth who was with them. When they tried to make friendly advances, the exlrememodesty with which thoy wercmot rather puzzled them uutil, on arriving at Paris, the pretty youth disappeared, and the wife of the Rajah took his place. One American lady who enjoyed the society of the Rajah and his suite much from Rome to New Vork was not let into the secret until on board the steamship Paris, she spoke to the Rajah's secretary about the absence of that handsome boy she had mot travelling with them. The secretary explained the little ruse by which they had outwitted the Brahmins. Soon afterward the lady was introduced to the anana, and the latter, on being reminded of her changed identity, laughing, replied in Fronoh, which she speaks very well i- " Ah, yes; in Rome I was messiour. In Paris I was madame. I prefer to be madame." If the little trick should bc discovered by the Brahmins on hi3 return, all tho Maharajah would have to do to condone his offence would be to hand over a good generous dulce to the offended hierarchy. This method of evading time-honoured custom is evidently becoming quite popular among the younger oriental potentates who arc developing tho modern mania for travel.

A New Vork special says:���Dr. Buchanan was sentenced to be executed ill the week beginning October 2, by Recorder Smyth this morning.

Buchanan, on April ���J.'!, 1S92 ,at their home, 207 West Eleventh street. His first wife wa: a Miss Anna Uricc Patterson, but he secured a divorce from her in November, 1S90, Three weeks after securing '.he divorce he married Mrs. Anna B, Sutherland, proprietress of a poiorious house in .Newark and brought her to Xew York to live.

On the morning of April 21, 1802, Mrs Buchanan was taken ill, and Dr. Molntyre was called in to attend her. Two days later she died, and Drs. Molntyre and Watson, after consulting with her husband, gave a certificate that death resulted from cerebral hemorrhage, The statements of several friends of Mrs. Buchanan aroused suspicion, and some weeks later the body was cxliumsd and given over to Drs.

Without doubt it cannot be positively affirmed that in order to accomplish bodily movement feet will always be better than wings; but on the other side, it is not sullicient to say following theformuladcar tothe advocates of flying machines. " Tiie bird flies; therefore man will By." Nothing proves that man, riveted to the soil, is powerless ever to rise into the air. But can this be done with wings ? It is by processes very different from those employed by nature that man up to this time iias been able lo enter into rivalry with her. The great Stephenson never thought ot making a steam horse, ami the machine man, which it i3 just announced that an artisan ot Nuremberg has constructed, is, according to the same paper announcing it, only a very poor machine. It is then probable thai man, if he succeeds, will sustain himself and circulate through the higher regions by other means than ilioseat the disposal of the bird. The dirigible, balloon comes to the support of this presumption, and its partisans, pleased with its progress, would probably be of the opin. ion lhat it is better to rest satisfied with it, at least for the present. It is however a matter of interest to scan the arguments brought forward in behalf of the aeroplane, or the living machine. They claim that in order to struggle against ihe air there is needed a body heavier than the air. The balloon is an obstacle to aerial navigation. A propelling motor moved by steam is the mechanism which promises the conquest delayed so long. The search for some light motive power which interests alike those working fer the interests of the dirigible balloon and of ihe aeroplane leads every day toward certainty of success. The problem of aerial navigation has not yet received a definite so- ution; but its hour is approaching. The learned Mr. .lanssen says, "The twentieth century will see realized the great applications of aerial navigation, 'lhe terrestrial atmosphere will be furrowed by ilii- fereiith appliances which will take possession of it,'' Such an event will have for all humanity consequences of such a magnitude that it i< not too soon to begin to prepaie our mindj lor them.-���fj. l-'iciiiy in The Chautauquan for September.

It Willi Thai or llu- I nili'il SIlllCH. Tlie New Vork Evening 1'jst on Saturday hml tlie following eilitorial whicli is of interest to Canadians at the present time: Tho comparative freedom of the Canadian banks from the troubles now afflicting the Amerioan b in'ts and the American people, have been discussed of lato. In an interview iu our columns, Mr. Walter Watson attributed the Canadian exemption to its system of branch banks. He pointed out that Canada, with its few leading banks, but with tbe branches of those banks extending throughout the country, was in a better position than our own bankers to have exact information about the true state of affairs, and oould, therefore, arrange banking matters much better, anticipating and perhaps preventing so great a collapse of credit as we are now witnessing. That the system of branch banks has great merits cannot be denied. Besides the advantage of more precise and ex tended information, the system lends itself also to a smaller proportion of reserves. The joint stock banks of England with tlieir branches running up into the hundreds, are content with a proportion of reserve to liabilities of but 12 to IS percent. Last Saturday's bank statement tor the New Vork Clearing-house; though unusually poor, showed a reserve of about 21 per cent. Tlie percentage of reserve, lixed by statue at 2,1 per cent, for city and 15 per cent, for country banks, is PURELY ARBITRARY*, It is a high proportion judged from a tor- eign standpoint. It is possible for a batik doing a regular liusiness among conservative men to lie safe in ordinary times with but half this legal requirement, The actual percentage needed must vary with the kind of liusiness done. Now the low average of London banks is due in part to confidence in Knglish finance and in part doubtless to the system of branches which seems to require '.ess money in each case, the home banks keeping the reserve for the hundreds of branches. With us to-day our lack of currency is in part owing to the wish of each small bank throughout the country, acting independently, to have on hand a larger amount of cash than usual. So long, however, as there exists a popuhr, though una just, prejudice against banks, it is useless to discuss the question of ISTAJUISHIXI) MUNCHES IN TIIE UNITED STATES. But when the branch plan is given its due praise, there will remain large differences in national conditions which cannot be ascribed to that cause alone. Branches in Australia, for example, did not prevent disaster there. The want of branch banks did not cause our present disaster. The New Vork Clearing-house Association has been from the dny that it began to issue loan certificates, virtually one gigantic institution, larger than any bank with branches in the whole world, except perhaps the Hank of England and the Bank of France, both of which have branches. But the ex- ample and weight of the Clearing-house Association had no effect Whatever to prevent the hoarding of money when the public began to apprehend a change in the standard of value from gold to silver. The reason is obvious. Xo bank or union of banks can do more than pay their obligations in the legal-tender money of the country, ll'causes are at work to change the legal tender, why, they are in the stream nnd must swim with it. Frightened depositors, however, will ism, .dunlin hul ncjeaauiiiy uv UltallU! banks, so that we may have the old-time i prosperity, ami yet with safety.

Vessels itiiniiiiii!! irouml die Atlantic "iviiiimii Crew*, There are, according to the most recent official reports, fifty derelict vessels float, ing iu the Atlantic Ocean that are regarded as dangerous to navigation. The larger number of these abandoned hulks are in the sailing route to the equator, and the record of their movements shows that they cross und recross the track. Some of tbem have made long journeys since they were deserted by their crews, who took refuge iu some passing vessel when their own craft threatened to sink or had become hopelessly unmanageable or waterlogged and uninhabitable. Some of these travel so near the regular ocean lines that an almost unbroken record of their wanderings is reported and sketched on the Atlantic pilot charts. One of the latest cf these well- known ocean wanderers heard from is the bark Ocean, which originally appeared just north of the southern track ot the western bound steamers in September. It has since been reported at periodical intervals and has gradually drifted south, almost to the sailing route from the equator, report previous to its recent hailing was in .March, since which time it has taken a northwesterly cmrse towards the Bermudas, and was seen in about longitude 111) and latitude 30 on May 30. The schooner Fannie E. Walston, which was abandoned on October 15, 1891, off the Carolina coast, was also reported a tew days ago. She drifted half way across the ocean by the followinu June, and then retraced a part of her course by a series of circles, and after a southerly drift was last heard of in May down in the northeast trades. Near the Walston when seen last was also 'he schooner May Gibbon, which has been drifting since August 22, ISO'2, when she was abandoned in a Newfoundland fog. Some of the abandoned vessels have valuable cargoes of lumber, and could they be towed to port would prove rich booty. Oneof the most notable of the derelicts, whose jour- neyings were well recorded, was the Maine schooner W. L, White, which, after being abandoned off Delaware Bay in March, 1SSS, after ten months and ten days, arrived ott the northwest coast of Scotland and went ashore at Stornoway, having traversed 5,��� 000 miles of ocean and been reported forty-five times by passing ships,���[New Vork Kvening Post. urope The Basilica was originally a covered portico in which law cases were heard and oilier business was transacted.

The decisive step in the knowledge of distillation was taken in Egypt, There were invented the first real distilling apara- Ins during the first centuries of the Christian era.

In the margin of a Greek text of St. Mark are the drawings of the apparatus, and they agree exactly with the author's descriptions. Women have abandoned spoon-collecting in a measure, No wonder !

In Spain, France, Ireland and somo parts of England u tinker is held in such uii- horrenco by the common people a.s to make it almost impossible for him to net a meal or find lodgings lor the night.

At race tracks persons desiring to bet on the result frequently manage to touch the bump of a hunchback, believing that this will bring good luck. According to the beliefs of ancient Arabians and Germans, hunchbacks were the pets of fairies. The latter frequently removed or increased the humps, and hunchbacks who had thus been treated by the fairies were supposed to possess some myBtic power. They were supposed to bring good luck, and this might be imparted to persons wbo came into contact with the humps the tairies had given them. IEEE'S SOME GOOD AU7I0E Which llie lulled Stales.Sliimlil Consider. Mr. Weir, president of the Vllle Marie Bank, of Montreal, and one of the oldest Canadian bankers, addresses an open letter through the press to the President and Congress of the United States on the financial situation. Mr. Weir expresses the opinion that the National Bank Act of the United States is the principal cause of the present financial trouble. He suggests as a measure of immediate relief that Congress pass an amendment to its bank acts providing that all chartered banks in the United 1 Wheat was first exported from the United States about 1750. lhe world's product in 1888 was estimated at 2,271,000,000 bushels.

In China and India the original model of the fan was the wing of a bird, and at one time was part of the emblems of imperial authority.

It is tor the bank officers to kuow that this note represents goods produced and actually in the market, cither sold or ready to be sold. Any other kind of promissory note is accommodation or speculation, The discounting of the latter is not entitled to be called banking. When the bank discounts the promissory note, it may and generally will pay out Its own notes to a corresponding sum. So long as the bills receivable are good the bank-notes must be good, because the one offsets the other. This is the Cann-1 dian system.

Another reason why CAKADA IS N'OT SI'ITEHINi: like the United States lies in the fact that Canada has not been so progressive as have we. The luck of advancement in numbers j f,ed off, They weie ennobled, received nnd in wealth has long been known and be- presents of land and money, and they and general ions. leristics of the albino, so highly honoured in j Siam as "white elephants,'' are extremely rare, During 517 years and the reign of 80 kings, only 24 have been captured. The last was taken in IS81. He was covered with i mud, and the hunters did not know of their I good fortune until some ei it had been rub- wailed by Canadian statesmen. This is due to a circumscribed territory. It has a physical cause and cannot be helped, In a country which advances in prosperity but slowly, banking cannot well be otherwise than slow and cautious, While Canada lips been standing still, comparatively speaking, the United States has advanced by leaps and bounds. Faith in American enterprises has in general been well deserved and well kept, If we had been restricted to a humdrum career, we should, like Canada, have beeu beyond a credit panic. As it is, it is not the industries ami railroads of the United States which are unsound, generally Speaking, Suspicion has indeed reached thcni, bul only because of the distrust of all values first engendered by the fear i f our currency. Great Britain Itself would be in a panic if ii law wen.1 enacted there throwing doubl upon tho standard of value. London with its enormous structure of credil would bail lhe ufloots of such a law at once and disastrously. Of course we have ourselves lo thank for the unfortunate position in which business is planed. Vet, a.s compared with Canada, out dlstross is great in proportion to our previous prosperity, Our aim should be to their descendants, for three were exempted from Boyal corveea, There are actually nine white elephants iu the palace of Bangkok. Two of them are remarkable for their giant tusks, which touch the ground.

Then he is installed in his permanent home, where he is adorned with ivels, ipproaehed with prostrations, and ministorerj to with reverence, eating from platters of gold, and drinking from vases ol silver. The costliness of his reception and maintenance has given rise to the well known proverb touching a gift which proves expensive lo the re- cipient, a proverb, by the way, eminently applicable to French conquests in Indo- China. We owe the hat to Asia, for it was in that country that the art of feltine wool was first known, and from the most remote periods the art was carried on by the orientals. In India, China, Burniah and Siam hats are made of straw,of rattan,of bamboo, of pith, of the leaf of theTttllport palm and of a large variety of grasses. The Japanese made their huts of paper. The Knglish custom of turning over a residence to a bridal pair for the honeymoon is often imitated this sido the Atlantic, and is considered a very piopor and elegant tiling to do. But the lending of houses irrespective of the bridal clement is also popular. Not infrequently persons going abroad for the summer oiler their entire establishment to a friend for tho absence, An Knglish court has decided that a cook -male or female���is not hound to givo an employer notiee before leaving, nor on the other hand is the employer required to notify the cook before discharging her.

SILViiK UlTI. scenes of Distress nnil lawlessness, A correspondent of the Montreal Witness says:���I can give you a few facts which will enable people in the Fast to realize the condition of Denver and it is only a sample of all cities in the mining states at the present time. This city is the principal supply point for all towns and mining camps in the state. There is also a large quantity of general nierchandi.se, mining machinery, etc., supplied from Denver to New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Wyoming, Denver has been favored with an exceptionally prosperous time for several years previous to the present one, and on account of this the depression in values is felt most keenly. The cause of the crisis in Colorado is attributed to the drop in price o: silver. The action of the British Government in closing the Indian mints to the free coinage ol silver, had an immediate and disastrous effect upon one of our most important industries, Silver dropped to 70 cents and closed a large majority of our mines; the demand for supplies Immediately ceased, and orders placed wore countermanded, Six national and four savings banks closed their doors, demands for payments were made upon merchants, which they could not meet, and they wore compelled to make assignments or be'closed on attachments. Every business in '.his city immediately curtailed expenses; MANV KStPLOYJES WERE DISI UAROED, wages were eut down ; mechanics' hours weie shortened, and a most deplorable condition of affairs was created. The sidewalks of our principle streets are crowded with idle men, not tramps, but good, hardworking miners, mechanics, clerks, etc. I he charitable institutions are feeding hundreds of destitute people every day. How long they can continue lo do this I cannot say Freight and other trains are crowded with men trying to beat their passage out of Colorado, with the hope of finding the Eastern country in better shape than the West. Every city and towu in the state is suffering equally with Denver; over 1,300 miners have gone out to Leadville alone during the past week, and there are hundreds of others thrown out of employment in the different silver mining camps throughout the State. In the early part of this week, the State Boiler Inspector went into the mountains to inspect boilers; om of 107 locations of boilers that he visited iu California llulch whicli is Leadville, only three were in use. The banks that are closed have tied up a great deal of money, this has added largely to the seriousness of the situation, it is confidently expected that most of the suspended banks will resume payment, but when and upon what terms is a question just now. A MURDERER r.YMUEI'. An occurrence that happened here last night in the shape of what is called in this state with a sadly reckless kind of 1 um ir a necktie party will reveal the tempir of the l.eople in tl is trouble. On Tuesday eve ling about six o'clock, a man named Lightfoot, about 00 years of age, a war veteran and an old resident of Denver, went into an Italian saloon and drank ag'.-ss of beer ; some dispute arose between tl e proprietor aud the man Lightfoot about tlie pay for the beer. The Italian jumped on to Lightfoot, pounded him into insensibility with a glass, dragged him to the back part of the 1 saloon, and shot him. Last evening about 8,.')0 an immense mob of men moved toward the county jail cheering und bowling "Hang the Dago." When they reached the jail there was probably not less than S,000 people in the mob. The leader!) made a demand for admittance, the jailor refused, and in a few minutes afterward the attack upon the doors commenced. The attack was made simultaneously on three separate entrances, the mob usingrailway iron tor battering rams; sledge hammers and picks were also at work. The gui rds in charge of the jail turned on a stream of water from their hose through the wickets of the inner doors, and kept playing constantly on the workers. The only effect this appeired to have was to sxosperate the men and make them work with still greater energy. It took about two hours of battering lo effect an entrance, the doors finally gave way, and in a few minutes a thousand men were howling on the inside. The same tactics were adopted in breaking down the doors of tlie cell containing the murderer. He was dragged out taken over to a public street, Santa I'e avenue, and there hanged on a tree and also riddled with bullets from revolvers. The body hung there for about 15 minutes while the crowd- passed in review underneath it.

A correspondent Intimately connected with lhe lute Sir (Ieorge Tryon writes:���The Times of Friday refers to "the meliineholy conliriiiiiti'in of the fact that the Admiral made no attempt to save his own life." Another paper states that the last seen of tho Admiral withstanding alono on the bridge. Another says the coxswain offered him a lifebuoy, which he refused, will: his band over Iiis eyes, and said, "Save yourself." Not one of these statements is correct.

At this point the police were allowed to take possession of the body and the party broke up. The city was in a disturbed condition all night, and the excitement was intense. It is an easy matter at the present time to congregate a mob, there are so many idle men walking about the streets who are ready to follow a crowd at any moment, all that is necessary is a leader and you onn mass an army of men in 15 minutei, The citizens interested in the welfare of Denver deplore and oondeinn the proceeding, Of course it is a serious miller lor a city of 130,000 inhabitants to have lawlessness so rampant and De apparently powerless to prevent it. The whole performance, bow- ever, i.s attributable to the unsettled condition of affairs in existence.
