"I don't need half the men I got up thar, ; an you'll want all yon can get. Wait till I send those I don't'want back,to you. " Spider, who had been listening to all that was said, made a dash for ''his horse. Being sternly ordered back 'to his place on the ridge, he went, taking the horse with him. The foreman sent me nearly two- thirds of the men he had. They were *ail in011 nted and waiting when the Ballet Girl rode up and joined thern. I ordeied'him away, but he paid no at-, m tentiorTto the command. Not a sound could be heard t except now and then the faint jingling of a bit or the whir- . Ting click where some man whirled his cylinder in examining his pistol. The foreman divided the men he had left, ���������into two parties, one of which he placed at either end of the ridge they occupied, leaving an open space between ' ��������� them. Then he, signaled that all was -done. I wanted to give the order to advance, and the only words that occurred to me at the time were the ones used, to start footraces in the college 1 - ���������had. left the year before. ' ' "Are you ready?" I called. The men screwed themselves into their saddles ' and 'leaned forward. Some of 'them cocked their pistols. Then. "On your mark^sl- Set! Go I" - ' - Scarcely knowing what I did. I darted '' the spurs into the flanks of my horse ' He leaped forward. At the same instant there was a'w.ild.'yell from the men. -and the ground thundered and shook as '. they followed. As we passed our men v -on the hill,-their rifles blazed all together 1 could see the sand fly from ' !ihe[cpposite slope. > ' .-' It seemed to take hours to traverse ,the few yards that divided us from our enemies. - In reality it must have been k' somewhat -Jess than" half a minute Then-we galloped up the rise Behind ���������its crest,there wTas a row of malignant ���������faces that'immediatelyvanished behind ���������clouds of, rifle smoke. My horse reared, 'lurched forward and recovered himself ���������I dropped the reins on the pommel and 'began firing rapidy with'a pistol heldr ������ in each hand.

The dates selected are picked before they' are quite ripe. The factory had a chimney about fifteen feet high and contained several open, circular, copper boilers, capable of holding five gallons each and nearly full of water, into these vessels the dates are put and allowed to simmer over a slow fire. As. the water in the copper decreased from evaporation it was filled up again, but it 'gradually became Inspissated by the extraction of the juice of the date.

Nothing better 'illustrates the' dulU ���ness'of societyin the middle'ages than the cnstcmi used by all high placed and wealthy^persons- of keeping a professional jester, nor was it. confined to Christendom, for we read that Cortes found an individual of this profession at the court of Montezuma; Our modern clowns, though very different from the licensed jesters of old, owe to them, of course, their origin; but, so far as I know, the female jester, who was in vogue before the male, has no present representative. We are told by Erasmus that in all the great inns on the continent there was in his: time a. female official of this description -who enlivened the corn- other frequent heights where thoy are Heft dryat every retreating-tide, while Mothers yet 'are found in"���. situations T *- * ' where they are' scarcely ever covered^ Iby water. Whereas.most of them, attach themselves to rocks or solid bottom, keeping to the shallows, there are exceptions to* the rule, among, which the most remarkable 'is the sargasso or g^if weed, which floats on the' surface of the ocean.' 'Immense fields of it aro seen by the navigator, extend ing as far as the eye can reach.

This, the only wood used in the construction ,of "the temples, is in the form of ties holding the end of one stone to another. When two-blocks were laid in place, an excavation about an inch deep was made in each block, in which a tie shaped like an hourglass is driven.' It is therefore very difficult to force any stone from its position.' Lost His,Appetite. "What made that man at the*last table leave?" asked the proprietor of the restaurant. r "It was this way, sir," answered the waiter. "He came in and asked for sausage, and I told him we were out. but if he would wait a little while we would have some." "Well?"

When othei; was first discovered and used in surgery, it was said that to abolish pain would be to change the laws of nature herself; that pain is a safeguard; that it indicates in cases of injury, the seat of injury and.in some instances the cause of injury; that if men learned to minimize or prevent it atj^pleasure they might annul it altogether and invent a new constitution in which this sentinel of danger would be at'all times'off duty- The A*tcc Language.

The curtain had just fallen on the Thanksgiving matinee, and the stage hands were already clearing the stage for the feast which' Manager Evans had ordered for his company! ' .That astute gentleman had personally superintended the preparations and arranged every detail. The stage was to be set with a dull oak interior, ablaze r with electricity overhead, in the flies'and at the footlights, with the front of the .house in darkness'to heighten the brilliancy of the improved dining room.' , Gorgeous chrysanthemums he had ordered from New York for the centerpiece, and the menu was the very best that the leading caterer of the small New England city could furnish. Evans had just stepped into the leading man's dressing room for the assurance that his personal, appearance was in keeping with the festal occa-, sion before' presenting himself to the young woman in whose honor the dinner was being given, Miss Ella Ran-' ' som." ^He had meant to be careful 'as. _to speech before that dinner, and after; : jward, when .the company was trying ��������� to' amuse itself until the evening, performance and "to1 forget, the . folks "gathered round home firesides,"'' he , would have a little chat with her alone in her dressing' room and put the, momentous question. . Surely this^ little., act of thoughtfulness would pave ;the way. , He knew in a general way .that she was a New England .girl and that Thanksgiving.day was to such asshe the'all important festival.'-The theatrical instinct in Evans was so -strong that even'His own love story had to be worked up to the proper climax. But 'Miss, Ransom with true womanly'contrariety set all his fine plans at naught. When'he entered the star's dressing room" in response to a muffled "Come!" Instead of facing a tiandsomely-gowncd and smiling girl,'.as he had anticipated, , he'saw a-forlorn figure curled up on the sofa. Miss Ransom still wore the frock used in theclast act, and as she straightened up1 she made a futile effort to hide her grief with a lace trim- rried bit* of cambric. All the graceful 1 little, speeches which Evans had been conning for hours failed him at this critical moment. He forgot the flower .decked table on the stage and the actors who by this time must be hurry- . ing from their dressing rooms to the scene of the festivities. He knew only that Ella was in trouble and���������he loved her. \\ - "My dear girl, what has happened?" Alas for the cleverly worded proposal that was never to be spoken! The tone, * the gesture . and the love 'MY DEAR Glut, WHAT *HAS HAPPENED?" light in his ey.es told their own tale, and Miss Ransom understood. That is why a few minutes later she was sobbing out her lktle heartache in his. arms. and-vJncoherently. pouring the cause tSei*jko4..into his ear. "Oh. it was ldvely of you, perfectly dear, to think of this plan for my Thanksgiving! But you did not know how close you were bringing me today to my old home. It'^ just ten miles from here^-Upper^Da)^, and I haven't seen it for'five.'y������ars."$jj "Why didn't you te^ me this, and instead of the dinner We'd have ridden there between the matinee and nieht performance?" asked Evans, gently smoothing the golden head resting on his shoulder. It was nature's own.'tint There was sorne\\hirig genuine and womanly about Ella Ransom. . He bad recognized this from the first. , "Oh. you see, I wouldn't���������be���������welcome���������there." The sweet lips- quivered again,, and Evans felt in duty bound to do what he could to put a stop to that pathetic expression. Then Miss '-Ransom .continued: / V*'.,.',r|,,^''i: :.''. '. ' "I���������I ran away to go on the stage, and father said he never would foi;- giVe me, whether I became famous- oi ���������of und he always, keens his word. And, oh, I would like to see mother when I am'so neai; to 'her!" "Never'mind, dearest," said Evans.1 "I'll try to take the , place of-parents and husband to you. And now we're making an awful stage wail." , He bent over for a final kiss, and when Ella removed the makeup she succeeded also in hiding'almost every trace, of her recent 'grief. It was a smiling young'woman whom he finally led to the head of the great table. After all, he decided, as he glanced from one cheerful face'to another, he, would announce their engagement at the close j of the dinner! and the company sho'ulft drink*their health, and it would not be such a bad climax. r But again were' the plans of Manager Evans set at naught. .With the salad course came an urgent summons' from tho box office. Evans'rose with mut- terings that did ��������� not portend happily; for the sender, of the message. When he came, .back,' however,', the expression on his.,, face "had' undergone a change. He was smiling'.in akncrv- ous fashion.- No one, noticed-two figures which stopped in'the shadow ot the wings. ' '" ' ���������'<"''" ' ".*''-��������� -<-'-. ���������'. "Ladies and gentlemen,'-' said'Evans impressively, "if gives me pleasure to introduce two . unexpected , butv most* welcome guests to this -board!'J-the father and mother of our-leading lady, Mr. and Mrs. Ransom.",,, ,' t '" A girlish cry that ' would have brought ^tho house to her < feet 'could Ella Ransom, "have given" -it - on, the stage, and then she. too, was, in the wings witli Her mother's arms aboul her. . When .order had been restored and the feast had progressed to -the coffee old Mr. Ransom rose and unflinchingly [ faced the merry crew. ��������� -r, .' . "I ain't much, at speechmaking, but' ������I want to say right now that I've made, a mistake. My'forefathers wore'of "old Puritan-stock, and I������ can't) get over,,the idea that the stage is a bad place, but' I guess there's other.! business iu this world that's worse.'" Anyhow 'it's \\no cause for a-fathor to'turn .against his child, and I've lost five good .years fby keeping up this ill feeling toward my girl. I want-to thank you for the kind way you've treated her when she's needed the comfort of mother and father, and if'you're round this neighborhood next Thanksgiving come put to the farm and have dinner with (us My wife's a master hand, at making pumpkin pies. I guess that's ' abpul all." ' ��������� ���������". ' *,* 4 When the laughter and handclapping which followed this speech had subsided, Manager Evans took the floor, and in words not half so eloquent!; as he had rehearsed in private, 'but^sof- tened by the happy family, reunion,[he announced his engagement to Miss Ransom. While the members of the company had been making some pretty shrewd guesses on the subject, they were, properly surprised and congratulatory, and .before Deacon Ransom realized what had happened1 he was standing with the rest drinking champagne to the health of his daughter and his son-in-law to be. ��������� When the great day 'was overhand Manager Evans had tucked the robes around Deacon and Mrs. Rans*oni for their homeward .ride-and hejhad,taken a last kiss from Ella's happy lips, he murmured to himself: :"WelI, the stage business worked out rather different from the way I'"had planned it, but the climax and the picture were not half bad after all." rewjfyears-ago some curious.bronze ar-, tides were, found,in several of the'oid" mine 'working's"'in, Corn wall," which 'are* believed to 'liave' been ' left,there* by that-ancient people at a time .wlien no bronze was 'either '.made or used in England.���������Chambers' Journal.'"'"- - ''',' A TirelcsB OlScial.

One day wrhen he was suffering from gout an officer called to ask for leave of absence for his son! who was^a queen's'messenger and aft-" er several fatiguing journeys was in need of a rest. Mr. Hammond was sitting in an armchair before the fire reading The Times. "L suppose,"-said'-'he. "he wants to go ouwsliooting?" . "No." replied the visit- or';-'"my son is not in the habit of telling falsehoods or making excuses. He wants rest." ''Rest^rest, rest!" exclaimed Mr. Hammond. "I never take rest."

The men scrambled wildly to places of safety, each shouting orders to the other. Little Pete, the satellite of Jim, had been stealing a nap in tho corner of the barn! and when the alarm came no one thought of him until the raging beast swept toward the spot where he lay. ,A prolonged cry went up from the negroes as,, powerless to "reach the JchildvV- they saw him seized by the shoulder and swung upward, and then, from somewhere, came a clear, low whistle, sweet as a thrush's note.

Professor .Towett, the great master of.-Baliol college, had wise words to speak on the crucial topic'of'growing old. He wrote to a friend:^ "The later years of life appear to me, from a certain point of view, to be the best. They are less disturbed by care and the world. We begin'to \\mder- stand that things really never did matter so much- as we.supposed, and we are able to see them more in their true proportion instead of being overwhelm1 ed by them. We are more resigned to the will'ot"God, neither afraid to der part nor overanxious to stay. We cannot see into^another life, but we believe with an inextinguishable ' h'op'e " that there is something still reserved for us." It is worth while to remember his bints \\for: old age, full as they are of a practical wisdom: Beware of the coming on of age, for it will not be defied. A man cannot become young by overexerting himself.. A' man of sixty should lead a quiet, open air life. . -. > He should collect the young about him. , .'.���������������������������'' ���������������������������...'���������.-.-' He should set other men to work.

It would appear that a very drastic measures are necessary to keep unruly members or factions in the Legislature in check'. The I.nperial House of Commons was forced to legislate in this respect in order, to combat the tactics of the Irish Home Rulers who at times seriously retarded ���������the progress of legislation. The British Columbia Legislature, after the experience of the past four months should at its next session attend to. the amendment of its rules of pro- ��������� cedure, so that no opportunity will tie given to faction or unprincipled men.to clog or stop the wheels of legislation. Since the departure'of the Premier, the Opposition members have acted in a more reasonable manner. The important rail- bills have been} passed, the Loan Bill, and Estimates dealt with. The ���������whole object of the Opposition during the session was very malicious in its intent.
