The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review.

"While attention is being directed to several western cities as being beneficial to tlie health of eastern people af- fiieted'with various complaints, the advantages of Revelstoke and vicinity in these respects should be considered. Tlie altitude here above sea level is 1475 feet, whicli is lower than Calgary by nearly 2000 feet and higher than Kamloops by less than 300. feet. The air is exceedingly pure nnd healthful'; no case of consumption, fever or rh'-uma- tism was ever known to originate here; ancl sufferers from phthisis at other places are decidedly benefitted by residing here. The water, is of the purest, and,gushes spontaneously from'-'the mountains surrounding the'town. No alkali or other deleterious ingredient is found in it���������-in fact, the pure water from our mountain springs is a panacea in, itself to many complaints,'especially those of the kidneys. , The climate is equable, and is even less severe than many other , places of similar altitude. We do not suffer from the extreme cold of the Selkirk and Rockymbuntain ranges,.nor the extreme heat,of places in the dry belt farther west which are swept by .stifling dust-storms in the hot months of midsummer. ��������� These same , months in. Revelstoke, the night air is delightful, without dust and promoting sleep, caused by the cool atmosphere which creeps down from the snow and glacier capped mountains that flank the Columbia valley far and near. "' . We have snow here, but take the last winter as an example.', At its greatest depth, it was three to four feet on the level, and light snow-falls were frequent, but during the entire winter not iv drift was formed. * There was no wind whatever at tiny,time, and apparently not'one flake when falling was deflected from its perpendicular course downward, nor its position shifted in any degree after it had dropped to earth. Snow has its pleasures and pastimes, as tobogganing, slt-igh-1 riding, etc., which are- very enjoyable j in their season. A \ On the Arrow Lake, about 1200 feet! in altitude, are hot springs equal to any.in the mountain region or in.Fra- ^-������- .^ 1>_ t~ m H) \ $2.00 a Year. >��������� First Trip of Horne^s-Ne-w^BoatT A HLtle after 2 o'clock Monday afternoon", the "Big Bend," came speedily down the river, after an absence of thirteen days,'having successfully accomplished her first round trip to Smith Greek., Capt. Tom Home gives the following account of Lhe voyage: We started on thr- 1st. day ot" M.iy, and had on board six tons of freight and nine men, eight bi-ing employed as helpers a ml lo a&nist in handling the boat. We had no trouble whatever in going through tbe Canyon.- Wc were six and one-hall" days going to Downie Creek, where we stopped half a day, and deliveied one ton of freight, some U> the ranchi'i-s, and balance to rtbe government. ��������� Loft, Downie. Wednesday, the Sth, and reached Death Rapids next day. AVe'Ppoit.igod the freight and all portable stull* at the Itapids. The ' portage is about '-"('(I feet, long. Tbe boat had Lo be skidded jiu-l, about her���������lcnglh, getting pas-L a place in the rapids where there is a rocky bar. We were a day and a half getting the boat over atffl the load on again. The bal-' ance, of the run, about l."> miles, Look-.a day and .a half to make, as, there are .some bad'riiTles to get over. We were eleven days making tbe trip, one day longer, than 1 'calculated���������taking the boat out of the water for skidding lost us about a day. Reached Smith Creek Saturday, discharged cargo and remained over, night, leaving .Sunday' mo'rning to return, and after stopping one day ;iL Downie got back Lo Kevelstoke on Monday, making the full tiip in thirteen days including all lost'Lime. I can say that I am satisfied with results of the trip not only as regards' the navigation of the river, but also financially. The actual < running, time making the return trip was about one dav. * .

Good hotels and facilities for bathing are es- tablished'at reasonable charges. Steam- b g O ers run for eight months in the vear to these sprinj-s which are .only a few hours distant. Excursions on the luxurious steamers of the C. it' K. 8. U. Co. to the boundary and thence by way of,Nelson through Kootenay Lake would furnish views of some of the most'magnificent scenery, on any continent, and would, entrance those wish who to look on' nature in her grandest forms.' As regards hotels, we can confidently say that as good ones as arny in British Columbia east of Vancouver, and many think the best, can be found at Revelstoke. Items of River News. . Ranchers at Hall's Landing are well satisfied with their prospects, and do not fear a repetition of last year's flood. They are expecting to have a good crop and'have got nearly through with their seeding. Ed Adair has a very nice garden, and intends to plant a ton of potatoes. Cossar and llillman, who are partners, will put in about three tons of potatoes. The ranchers, here'think that, if potatoes can be shipped from Okana'gan Valley and from Shuswap and Tappen Siding into West Kootenay, and a profit be made, they ought to do well on this crop, as Lhe cost, of shipping inLo Slocan will be small. Thomas Curtis caught a black hear, and Thos. Reid a very large black one. The skin of Reid's attracts the notice of passengers on the steamers, by its unusual size., Samuel Hill is Lo have neighbors, for a ranching boom has struck Galena Bay. Six new rancheis have gone in tliere Lo make locations,, mosit.ly from Revelstoke innd the vicinity. Charley Holt en and Tom Downs have built a comfortable bouse at Bannock Point, iind have planted a nice garden. The Gun Club Tournament. Success is already fully assured Lo Lhe Revelstoke Gun Club's challenge to neighboi ing clubs to shoot on the 2-1 Lh of -May for Lhe splendid prizes which are ottered for compel ition. Acceptances of Lhe invitation have already been received from Lhe clubs of Veinon, Armstrong, Donald aud (.'olden. The papers of h'amloops and Vernon speak in flattering lernis- of the event, and favorable responses may yet be' received fiom Field, Kndcrby" and Kamloops. Donald will send two Lean is of live each, and Lhe others one, which will make with Lhe home club thirty or moie of I he-besL marksnieii in British Columbia in friendly. compeLiLion foi the beautiful and uiiiipie cup ,-'.nd oLber prizes. The Revelstoke Club will have sonic of the best-shooters in the province to contend against,, but they are practicing daily and do not consider that it, will beany breach of hospitality lo Lhe visiting clubs if bv t heir skill they should succeed in winning the splendid trophy cup which they offer for competition. A grand day for Lhe Oun Clubs of Yale and Kootenay will be the coming 2-1 th of May. There are some fine ranches taken np at Downie Creek, and ,the owners are dealing the land and putting in crops. The soil is excellent, and Lhe. ranchers 'think they can supply Revelstoke with root crops, with less expense for hauling than those peoplerwhohave located farms aci-oss the lllecilleivaet. \ , When Harry Howard and two men, Jack L'etendre and Ed Blom, who started'two weeks ago for GokhStreani, were at the rock in the Canyon -above Death Rapids, when the bunt was passing Lhe rock, Jack Letendi'e' being On board it took a'shear jerking the lines out of the hands of the Iwo men on shore, and rushed into a'"boil-hole" going entirely under water. All the stuttfon board was lost, but Letendre clung to the boat, which drifred down to where the water', de\ ides between the eddy iind the shute, and getting hold of a paddle, hi: worked the boat away from the'schute into the eddy, and the boys on shore thiew him a'line which he caught and was pulled ashore. Murdoek McRae, John Sliaw and Wild Bill took a boat at Carne's Creek on the way up to Downie. They were lining around a sweeper, but the-boat worked in on them, and McKae who was in the boat climbed out of it 'on to Lhe sweeper. The boat was lost and and all Lhe stuff the boys- had. llorne picked them up on Strawberry Flab, about, S miles Lhis side of Downie. On Guard Against Fires. Afire was discovered in the shack of Bourne Bros, on Lhe corner of Douglas and Benson SLs. about eleven o'clock Monday evening. j.-It was speedily extinguished by some members of the Fire Brigade and citizens 'without giving the alarm. The house is not occupied, but lhe roof had caught from a hot fire in the stove, and it is supposed that tramps had been using the place. A fire had been built by some one Monday afternoon usuing old rails and rubbish, on Douglas SL^' north of Benson nearly opposite Mr. Stone's residence. ' The blaze became,so gieat that it was not thought prudent to let it go unchecked, as the wind might rise during the night and' scatter burning brands. An alai m was given, and Lhe Fire Brigade with their Chemical engine was soon on (neground, and put a speedy end Lo Lhe. danger. This alarm gave Lhe" newly elected officers of the Fire Brigade their first practice and experience since the annual meeting. They performed their work like veterans and the engine itself proved to be fully equal to all that was expected of it. A dense smoke rose from Turin os' place oil Monday, which was caused by his setting file to stumps and rubbish. The wind soon carried the flames past Mrs. Burton's and Tapping's and nearly .-is far as McC.-uty's butcher shop. Towards evening half the landscape was ablaze, iind that part of Lhe town was illuminated with lire aud flame. I Lad it wind aiisen, I here was great danger Lhat fire would have been communicated lo Lhe best, stores and residences of LhaL part of Lhe town. The flames were fortunately not, can icd, but.a waLch was kept, during Lhe night. Awarded liifihest Honors���������World's Fair MOST PERFECT MADE. A pure Grape Cream of Tartar Powder.

It, was late in Lhe afternoon when they reached Beechcroft, and Fairfield rem.ukcd that thev had still three' miles to walk or . lido. ' "Lit us ride," eain,Lord Ronald impatiently. "I feel as though every moment we spend upon'the rood bianda between me nnd my meeting with Kate." Fairfield looked at hia companion in fitartled surprise, and he said with a sigh : "Vou are ' anticipating too much, my or J. You must prepare yourself for some- , thing the, reverse of happy., What made my hair turn white in a fciuglo.week, can biiue you 'no comfort or satisfaction." '<��������� i <��������� Was Kate the cause , of your white hair?" asked Lord Roland in unfeigned urpriac. . " Yes ; last Christmas evening I wm as free from gray hairs as you are. Now look at mo.," l " ��������� 1 '��������� ' "Hut how did it happen* Why are you so mysterious ? Why don't you deal frankly , with me?" <- "My mother will' tell \ou all that you , , need to know," was the answer. " I only warn you to anticipate evil rather than ',' good." Lord Roland felt ft chill com'epver him. It was not the keen air of early Spring that . made him shiver, but the cold feeling of ,, ' dread and 'anxiety that Fairfield's words caused him. " , , For.despite all reasoning to the contrary he cherished the hope that when ho reached ������������������ Mrs. * Fairfield's cottage he would clasp Kale Lilburne to his heart. ��������� , ��������� , ' When'ho glanced,at the white hair of his , ^ companion, however, and heard what was ' the cause assigned for it, he felt only too ' A well convinced that some dark tragedy had ' , ,-,' linked itself "with the fate ot hia beloved. For the rest ot the journey the two men , were siient;' one was too sad and the oLher > waa too nervously anxious! to talk. It was a large, handsome cottage at the ,������., [ r-ute'of which they drew up, aad as they , o walked towards the door it was opened by Mrs.'Fairfield herself. c _" ' '^ 'Sho was a toll, fine-looking woman,������com- paratively young looking still, and s*ery like hor son, though her dark brown hair as ' ;'__=___.vet_showed no sign' of approaching nge.' ' There was deference rather than humility iu her manner as she gravely invited his lordship to enter, while sho herself led the T" .way into a comfortably furnished, sitting- i. room. i , ' , "' l The young nobleman eagerly glanced ������������������" around tho apartment, as though he hoped , to see some one, but if so he was disappointed; theie was not a single sign of anybody 1 - ' having been in the room save the woman to whom it belonged.. i,. " 1 have told Lord Roland Ayre that you could probably help him in ti,icing Miss * Kati;',"-aaid Fan field when thuy weie all seated; "but perhaps it will be as weil if he (, tells you first how Kate disappeared .and what steps have .beet; taken to iind her; you (' ��������� W)U then <be better able to connect his part of the story wilh the little you know." ' Lord Rolaud almost fumed with impatience. He did not want to goover the old ��������� ground again; he wanted to know without delay what they could tell him. ' Bui Mrs. Fairfield, though very polite, was likewise very firm. Moreover, she was suspicions'. Yea, she waa suspicious even of hor own son, and as Lord Roland, finding uo escape, ' bec.ui to tell the story of thai Christmas night over again, she more than once inter- ' rupled him with questions. . ' , -��������� ' " Aud when the search was being made vou heard nothing about any false floor in the west turret, did you ?"' asked M rs. Fairfield with a searching glance. " Certainly not; is there, such a thing?"' he asked eagerly. "There was formerly���������at least, so I hear from my'sou���������though I never tieird oi it in all the years I lived at the castle, and I don't think Lord Lilburne himself knew, of it; but Frank asserts that Miss ('race did." " Grace !'" exclaimed his lordship in sudden dismay; " are you sure she knew of it?" "1 am quite sure," here interposed the young engineer, "for I once showed it to her, and threatened to throw tier into th-a shaft below. Of course I only meant to ' friuhlon her, but she was always getting me into scrapes with her deceitful tongue, aud I thought 1 would put a's'op to it."' ,Loid Rolaud pressed his hauds over hia burning brows. He remembered now how Grace had induced her sister to hide, aud how she had afterwards denied all Knowledge or" her whereabouts. Yes, it all came back to his memory now, even to the dust and dirt which he had noticed on her white satin dress, and Lo which he had called attention. At length he started to hii feet exclaiming : ' ' " Let U3 go to Silverton Castle at once ; there ia not a moment to be lost. That infamous girl may be starving her sister to death ; "quick���������quick, or we may be too hue !" . ��������� ' ' , But Mrs. Fairfield said calmly ,ib nhe alio rose to her feet, : "We will go in good tune my lord; hut if ' I help you, you must help mc, nnd i have a matter here that trouble** me as much as Kate Lilburne's disappearance troubles you. Will you come tins way my lord and tell me what it is bes\ forme to do?" And she was leading the wiy lo a door that, opened into another room when hi.4 lordship exclaimed : " I will do anything you require when Kate is found ; but I mii'-it go to .Silverton Cattle without delay." ,, And he was turning toward the opposite door, the one by which he had entered, when he was arrested by Mih. Fairfield's calm voice saying : "It i'i u-.eleB*! your going lo Silverton Castle without, me, and yon must L'ive rnu your ad vie- at once. Come." Then she led the way into the further room,and he, after a momentary hesitation, followed her. CHAPTER V. "Better be with the dead Whom we, to gain our place, have sent to peare, Than on the torture of the mind to lie In reckless ecstasy." , i ' if lavish profusion, recklessness df cost ami carefully planned amusements ooiiid -���������"������������������ko 'uiy (social entertainment a great suc cess, this eccond Christmas Day at Silver- ton Castle must'certainly have put all other events of t'ne kind completely in the shade. The servants and tenantry were not so well caied for as m tlie past, it is true, for Grace had ;-;iv*en orders that they should put off their merrymaking until after the was married, when they could eat and drink, dance and sing, to their hearts' content. ' Ail the guest chambers iu the castle were full, and the eight bridesmaids who were to attend the bride on the coming day were herewith their mothers or si 'ere or chaperons, each one of the eight i..uKing_ forward to the time when she herself should take the leading part, in a similar ceremony. , Grace Lilburne hid not been veiy judicious in the selection of her bridesmaids. The petty desire lo triumph over her friends and to create envy and jealousy iu the hearts of other girls,having \ rompted her in her choice rather than any kinder feelings. For instance, there were the two Goul- burno girls, poor as church mice,the d������ugh- lora of'a clei-ryina.il who was a distant cousin of the Lilburnes.. , , A, 'Their bridesmaids dresses are to be given them by Grace, but to-day their altne is painfully plain, and their gowns bear traces of having been home-made lo begin with, and afterward renovated and altered for the present occasion. And yet they aie,proud, handsome girls, and they know full well that they' would look as elegant as any of their companions if they were only able to wear such fine clothing. , ���������' Then there was Miriam Hindman, a brilliant brunette, who rumor whispered had won Sir Victor "Gayherd's heart, and he was only saved from marrying her by her father losing the greater part of his fortune. The baronet had objected to Mh'iam'be- ing invited, and had suggested a cousin of his own in her stead ; but Grace was obstinate ; sho had made up her mind to invite Miriam, and Sir Victor could only hope that the invitation would not be accepted. But, here, again he waa disappointed, and Milium came, looking, seductive and brilliant as a Humming-bird, gorgeous with jewels and costly dresses, and giving confirmation to the report tint her lather had ictrieved his fortune, and was now a richer man than ever. I am afraid that Grace regretted her obstinacy when sho saw how fascinatingly beautiful Miriam was, and certainly sho was genuinely jealous when she observed how Sir Victor's eyes followed the girl who had still the power to make him forget everybody else when she was present.' Miriam knew that Grace had not invited her out of affection, and that' she hai no nobler aim than a desire to mortify and humiliate her, and she determined that the, pain should not be all on one side. ��������� 0 Besides being a beauty and au heiress, Miriam was a wit, and wherever she nughl be she was quite certain io have a small group of eager admirers about her. On her arrival at the castle Miriam per-' slsteaily'attached herself to Lord Lilburne. , She gave him her sympathy with such witching tenderness, she condoled with him at being about to lose his second daughter,, aud then si e began to talk of dear Kate, who had been bur most'intimate friend; "I am quite sure that Kate is'alive," she said, suddenly raising hor voice so that all the others in the'small tearoom could rear her. Grace frowned. She hnd distinctly warned every person in tiie house that her sister's name and her sister's mysicrious late were not to be alluded to, particularly in her father's j presence. ' , | But Miriam paid no heed to the frown,as i she continued: ��������� ��������� ' > "Yei, I am quite sure she is alive. I j dreamed ot her last night, clu my dreams ' always come true. We shall see tier , soon; j 1 have no doubt aboutiit." | "If you have nothing more substantial I than r. dream to'fouud your asscriion upon, 1 I thmk'itia a pity you should make iu" j said Grace with cold seventy. | "I don't see why.

But, by | the way, isn't there soma mysterious pis- ' sage or chamber' in the old part of the '_ caa'le, or was it destroyed wnen mosi of ! the place wa������ reouiU ?" She looked at Grace when 3he spoke, but ��������� | ir. was Lord Lumirne wno replied: , I "I never heard of anytning oi the bind.

' " ' ' And the man jerked his head toward a small gallery at one,end of the hall, in which the band was usually placed when there was a dance. ������������������ The first grumbler glanced in the direction indicated, and grinned, for there in dim twilight could jus-t be distinguished Sir Victor Gayherd ami Mi������s Miriam Hind- man, with two or three oilier ladies and gentlemen. . ' Grace had not seen them, or sho would have been alarmed as well as- angry, for Miriam had kept a close watch upon l.er movements,and had seen that she hail gone to one of the chambers in the old tower, though to which of them the visit had been paid she could not tell. Her keeneyes'were on thealert.however; if anything was to be discovered, she was pretty sure to come upon it. ' "Do you expect many guests to-night besides those .staying in the house ?" .-she asked Lord Lilburne some pime later as the company was about to disperse und dress for dj'nier. ".Yes, a great number," was the reply. "By the way, Grace," he added, turning to his daughter, "did I tell you that Lord Roland Ayre wrote to me to say that ho was coming to-night ?" "Lord Rotund 1" repeated Grace in dismay. '. "Yes; I wrote to invite him to dinner. He says he cannot come till' later in the ere-iing, but he will come." "Did he say nothing else?" asked the daughter hoarsely. "Yes he said.something else, bub it's of no consequence���������at least no consequence to yoa," and his lordship turned away. ' Graco asked no more. She was beginuing lo feel like a creature at bay(l hunted on every Ride, with no avenue of escape open to her. , ��������� Why dtd her father invite Lord Roland Ayre, and why, above all things, had the invitation been accepted ? After a time.howtver, consternation gave place io mirth, and she laughed bitterly as she remarked to Sir Victor :' - ' ' "Your cousin aives a atriking proof of masculine constancy. Lust year when he went away he said he would never enter Silvertoii������Castle again unless he brought Kate with him, or came.to, meet her." ' "Aud how do you know lhat he won't bring Kate with him ?" asked Miriam Hind- man boldly. ,' Grace looked at her for,one moment with a scornful scowl, then turned away without deigning io niter one' word of reply. '���������Surely papa does not think of marrying that horrid girl," Grace exclaimod, ,as sho watched her father audjdiriam talking together in a confidential and affectionate maiuier. "I shouldn't think he'd have the chance," returned Sir Victor ; "she's an uiicomiiion'y nice cirl." , ' - ' "Oil, yes, I kiiotv you think there is no- bodv like her," sneered Grace. 1 "At any rate, I didn't invite her here," retorted tlie young man, angrily. "Well, no ; you'couldu't very well, as it is my fathei's house," she replied : "but I woniier, since you admire Her so much, you don't matry her." " I am like your father iu that respect��������� I haven't the chance,',' he said, coldly. Then he crossed rhe room and joined the couple of whom they had been talking. , Grace was very angry,' but she did not follow him, aud soon after .this ihe ��������� first song sounded���������a hint that it was time to dress for dinner. Miriam Hindman, instead of going up- sM'rs like ihe other ttirls, sauntered into t. Ii.tle itudy she knew of, wheie a bright nre burned in the polished grate, and the "lamp was turned low. De=pite her assumption'ot* cheerfulness and high ' spirits, her heart was sad and heavy. c Sir Victor Gayherd had been lhe one love of her life, and though they had parted in pique and anuer more than a year ago, and just before her father had lo3t the creater part of his fortune, she had alwaya expected her truant lover to return to her. But this hope had died out now, for he was pledged to become the husbaud of another before twenty-four hours haiLpaased. .She had seated herself bn a hassock before the fire, her hands clasping her head, and her elbows'resting on her knees, and she was thinkintr sorrowfully of ,the man whom she still loved so .well. *' He will nave a very miserj.hle life," -:he mused, " particularly.so if Grace does not get the lar^e fortune sho anticipates; and he will, no doubt, often think of me and wish he had not taken meat my word when I told hun to go and find a richer wife.

"You are nothing to me," "And yet you are all the world to nie, Miriam��������� my love, my life. Only say the word and we will fly together, and I will break the hateful bonds that bind me to Grace, whom I have never loved." He caught her in bis arms, and strained her to lus heart ; but she, gently though ������r-:r.i.y;released herself from his embrace, as she 'said : "Jt is loo late, Victor; too late. I have no pity ior Grace, but I cannot bring such pain and humiliation upon her father. No ; you must keep your word and marry her ; but 1 urn sorry for you and���������and���������so sorry for myself." She slipped away from him aa she said this, and rau upstairs,' but ou'her way to her own room to dress she thought, as a species of t.elf-mortnicati')n, she would go into Grace'b room with the other girls and try to be civil to her young hostess. Many of the bridesmaids had clustered round the expectant bride, and took a gieat interest in the dross she was going to wear ou this the last evening when she would ait'at the head of her father's table as the miatrees of his household, and they admired over and over again the very handsome trousseau with which she waa provided. "You don'tseemio have niuch jewellry,',' remarked Miriam Hindman. "I wish 1 had known it before, for 1 would have given you a bracelet as a,wedding present instead of the silver dishes I brought with me. "But I suppose your father will give you' Kate's jewels ; she had a splendid collection, I know." , "Kate's jewels will go with her money to her mother's family, when there iu proof that she is really dead, but if pcopU talk such stuff to my father, as you did tins afternoon it is not likely.that anything reasouublo will convince' him," replied Grace severely. v r "I don't know wbj- you should call it stull," returned Miriam, quiotly ; "people don't disappear as your sister did unless they go away to return at gome time or other, or unless they are murdered, Therefore until it is proved thr-t ahe is dead we may reasonably hope she is alive." , Graoe shrugged her shoulders. She would not discuss the matter, but intimated thai it waa time they should begin to dress, and her maid came forward to attend to her, while,,the girls all went oil' to their own rooms. ' " How very horrid Miriam is in her manner to Grace 1'" remarked Lizzie Gotilburne lo her siator, as they were dressing, without tho holp of any maid ; " sho seems to do all she caii to vex her." .".Yes," replied ,Amy ; ������-but I don't wonder at all ; I am only surprised at hor being here at all." " Why ?" "I wonder ahe cared to oorae to the wedding of the man she was engaged io herself, aud I am not aupiised at her'constant reference to poor Kate Lilburno, for Kate and sho were bosom friends," and you must, admit that the way in which Grace trios to assume lhat Katec'is de>ui is irritatirg to those,who hope, if they do not believe', otherwise." ," Yes, perhaps you are right, ; and I don't think it would rake much to win Sir Victor back to his old love." " So little that I would notrisk a pair of, new gloves on the chance of our~-.vcaring those costly gowns to-morrow." , ��������� And she pointed to the two bridesmaids' costumes that lay on the shelves of the opened wardrobe. " We ahall keep them, in ' any case," laughed. Lizzie ; " aud they will serve us tor evening dresses for the reac of the Winter. After all, lookers-on see moat of tbe fun.", ' "They see it, but they dou't take part in it,"sighed her sister; "and girls,like you aud me seem to have no chance of ever beini/ anything but' lookers-on." "Oh! our turn will come," was the hopo- ful rejoinder. "And there goes the second gong; do make haste, or wo shall be fate, and that will bo dreadful." "I don't see anythina dreadful about it ; but I am nearly ready." They hurried'bo much after this that when they entered the ' drawing-room they found the room quite empty. Other people soon trooped in, however, and verysojn the Goulburno girls found themselves sufficiently well sought after, despite their plain attire.' The rivals of the evening, however, were the bride-elect and her chief bridesmaid, Miriam Hindman. Grace was dressed in pale bluo, exquisitely trimmed with cream lace and blush- roses, while her golden hair, her gold ornaments and her bright blue eyes made her look bewitching in the extreme. But her beauty waB quite oolipsed when Miriam appeared. The brunette wore rose'colored satin, half-covered with costly black laco, looped with lilies-of the-valiey, while pearls and diamonds were clasped round her throat, ai.d lilies and diamonds shone in her black hair. Independent of ornament, Miriam-was wonden-jlly beautiful, but rich colors and sparking gems added greatly to her natural cnarms, and she used laughingly lo aay'that she was thankful she had beon born too late lo be expected to wear white muslin gowns, short in the waiiit and lied round with a sash, until tho time when sho should bo married. '"Il was almost enough to drive a girl to marry tho fi'st man who aaked her, if only to obtain the privilege of wearing silk and satin," she would say, laughingly. "Happily in our days we can wear what wo like, without caring for the opinion of the male box or for that ol Mre. Grundy." She seemed lo care for the good opinion of one member of tho male sex thisovening, however, and he for hors, and though his marriage with his host's daughter whs fixed for tho following morning, -Sir Victor seemed to be unable to resist the attraction of Miriam's black eyes. Grace watched the couple jealously whenever she thought of.trlem : but something more unportimt than tho temporaly defection of l.er lover rilled her thoughts. .Sin: was planning how lo get iway from her ^���������icS'-. unobserved and lo stay long enough io he able to jscerlaii! what lay at ihe bottom of th>- dark shaft, into which she had ihriiit h-vr Msier.

A moat extraordinary family of emigrants arrived in New York one day laat week, aud that night left on a through express over the Pennsylvania Railroad for their new home in Utah.' The head ol" this family was Thomas Shields, a blade grinder of Sheifield, England, and ho had with him his wife, daughter ami eight sons. When one of the sons arose in the car he presented a figure that was simply startling. His head lose above the bell-rope and hia broad, massive shoulders made him appear to be a veritable giant. He waa fully six feet seven inches in height, and a mere boy at that. Each of his seven brothers was even taller than he was, and ono of them lacked only a trifle of touching the seven-foot mark. , Tne father of these promising young men was slightly above the medium height, and the mother was slightly under it. There waa a daughter, a type of English rustic beauty, ami her resemblance io Dickon's word picture of Litile -Km'ly was most striking. On her apparently 'had been lavished the money put aside for a rainy day. To a reporter, who was on tho train, Mr. Shields said: "Until a few years ago I was a blade grinder in Sheffield, and there my family waa born. I um sixty- four years old and my wife 13 a year my junior. We had nine children . (ne said this with a sweep of his rugged baud) and the good Lord has spared all of them to us. Our eldest son is thirty-five years of age, aud the youngest is nineteen. ' Out daughter, Grace, is "twenty-three, and she is the pet of the family. How do I account for the extraordinary size' of iny fo'uh? Well, that is, 1 suppose one of the grear mysteries of nature. It was tho Lord's will and liis will bo done." The family wore en route to Utah, whero they have relatives. They are'Mormons in belief, but opposed to its polygamy.' OVERBOARD AND BACK.ON A.WAVE. The. Kciniu I.able Iaielt, or I'our Tars on lhe ���������olllc' YtiU'liiiselt. Rare instances have been reported of one man being washed overboard from his ship 'at sea and then earned back by the same wave, but tho collier Wachuset.t has a quartet of that kind of able seamen,' says the San Francisco Chronicle. On tho 19th,of hiHt month, while coming down from Nanaimo, four anguished mariners rode over the lee rail on .the boiling crest of a large ��������� green ssa.' All hands gave the sailors up for lost! but it seems that they had shipped"'on the wave tor the round trip. At all events, the dripping tars cameriding back, with their whiskers full of sea-foam, and landed safely on deck. The captain, the crew, the cook, and the four able seamen rogard ihe afl'air as little short of miraculous, as nothing but lhe wave could have saved the men'. ��������� The ship Wachusett, with Capt. Williams in command,played in hard l\ick both ways ou her trip to Nanaimo for coal. She was twenty-seven days on,the passage up and twenty-three days coming homo. No calamity worthy of note occurred until early ,on the morning of March 19. b'or three days a strong southeasterly gale had been raging and the seas ran broken and rough. All at once it fell calm. The ship lost way and a tremendous wave went sweeping over her. Every man on deck was sent spinning, and four of them cleared tho lee rail. No one expected to see the hapless mariners again. They were lost to view in a swirling mass of foam for several seconds, and then the wave which threatened their destruction proved rhe salvation of the men. The ship fell off in the trough, and having no headway on her the wave, full of tangled sailors came back again. Ihree of them landed in a bunch on deck considerably bruised and startled, but otherwise all right. The fourth man was further out and missed connection on that account. But the Wachusett had listed heavily to starboard,'and with her yards aback the fore sheet pennant was trailing in the water. The able seaman clutched the rope and hung ou. He was Btill far from safe, but managed to maintain his grip un the pennant until aline wus thrown to him from the deck. As a wholesale escape from Davy Jones' celebrated locker this adventure is a record breaker. > It not only takes the cake, but everything olse they bake in tho pastry line. Four sailors lost and found at one fell swoop was a most gratifying surprise to the skipper. As for the tars, had they gone down so near home and with two mouths' pay coming it iB probable they would never have forgiven themselves. ' The ship carried avay her foie- foot iu the gaio, but auffered-littlo aside from the shilling,of the cargo, which was trimmed when the storm subsided . Paris Omnibus Drivers on Strike. A-despatch from Parid says:���������A striko of omnibus drivers began here |on Monday morning, .^OOO men going out tio enforce their demands for higher pay and shorter hours. Tnere is almost, an entire cessation of omnibus service. A few vehicles uro running at irregular intervals under strong polic eproteciioii.buc thoy are very scantily patronized. The strikers attacked an omnibus on Monday ovening. The polLc charged with drawn swords, wounded two aud arrested seventeen. The most ardeiit Socialists in the Municipal Council aro moving to obtain a aoecial silting to consider the advisability of depriving the company of its concession.( The public suppoited the strikers in 1.--90, but now oppose thjiii, inasmuch as tne company haa fulfilled the conditiona then imposed.

Far . away over the sea lies a strange country the native name of which means "Crisp-haired." A large country it is, too, but it has not been well known until within a few years. Missionaries and explorers have opened the door for us, and let us peep,iu and see some of the queer things that Hie found there. , ' There are two kinds of people in tho laud, but the real native is of a dark brown color , and has very black , hair, which is arranged in the most marvellous styles , probably ever known iu the fashion of hair dressing. Sometimes it is placed in masseB on each side, of the head, as though two groat mops had been tied on for ornament. Sometimes some of it is cut oil', leaving behind patterns of squares, circles aud triangles, making tho head look liko a, garden laid out in beds of various shapes, Sometimes for full dress a man will add to his costume plumes of the young palm fronds, which are fastened lo his back and .rise "ver his head waving gracefully iu the ' breeze, in the forests in this country, aro many kinds ot beautiful buds, birds of paradise, parrots, cockatoos and cassowaries. There are also numerous sorts of insects, one thousand species' -of' beetle having been discovered in one square mile iu the apuco , of threemonths. . . , Many of tho villages in this strange country aro-1 built over' swamps , whete no- dry ground ia to be sseii, and everything has'to bo raised above the water. Tho streets are laid' with large tree's from which ladders lead up to the houses, which , often aro porched on poles fifteen feet high. In front of these houses are t'ne flower- gardens, mado by .spreading earih upon , elevated platforms, each'one of which is surrounded by a fence within whoso inclos- ure bloom brilliant tropical plants aud flowers. Theie are, besides, long platforms that slope 'up lo the ,temples, in whicli may be seen the skulls of men and of animals, carved iind 'colored, and grotesque figures that resemble fish, with.mouths like irogs and bodies nine feet long and seven broad. Some villages aie built directly over the water, and sometimes the baby of the family will fall through one of tho crocks in the bamboo floor and drop into the stietun below, but as the nurse usually knows how to swim, he iseasily pulled out again, none the worse for his suddenbalh. The people have' some queer notions about lite and death, and tho world iu l which they live. Some of them beliovo that one of their'ancestors made the earth, tho sea and the sky,and the ancestor of another lino of chiefs made man. Thoy think that ' when the soul loaves the body it travels away lo a land toward tho sotting sun, where tho sago palm grows iii abundance,' and, whore thof.b who enter lhis happy place may eat as mucli0sago as they wish. Other tribes think that good men after death go to live in the Milky Way, where are groves of fruit and delights of all sorts. In sleep thoy think that lhe spirit departs from the body, and meets other spirits in the air who tell it of things that are going to happen, so they plan their actions by their dreams.

Badendiek's idea is that the Baion is notaimingso much at airempty sovereignly as at the possession of'the hid- ��������� don hoard. , ���������Badendiek's story may here be told in lis own svords : " In May, 1SS0, I shipped ou the bark'- entine John, belonging to J.

" At, the end of eight days we arrived of! an island which turned out lo be Trim- dad. Capt, Pyper called us aft and told us that we had been steering east instead of north.' He told'us that the owners of the ship, the JTuIly firm, of Sutherland, had information that a great quantity of mcu- ey and valuables was hidden ou this island. The captain waa ordered to conceal this plan from us lest 'any of the sailors going ashore at Santos should talk about it and ' put the,Government on our'track. "Capt. .Pyper told us that' we were willing to aid in the search wo should have our proper share of the' treasure if it was discovered. " Among those on the ship waa a passenger��������� a young man named Polly, as well as 1 --an remember it. He was the son of a retired sea captain' living on ihe Isle of'Wight, in England, it turned out that he was to take a leading part in the search for the treasure. " June 15 was the'day on which we arrived oft* Trinidad. The captain had been informed that there was a place for anchcor- age in the southwest-bay, and he tried this, but the wind was too southerly to make it po;aiblo. " The ship kept under sail, while a party was ssnt in a lifeboat to attempt a landing on the island. The party cousiated of Capt. ,Pyper, young Polly, John Adam, Fred Sweeney, John McCarthy and myself. Wo look water and provisions, rifles aud lanterns. TUK BOAT COULD XOT LAXDl the hole. We had no tools, and there was nothing to do hut to go back. AN EXHAUSTED EXIM.ORER. "At I o'clock in the afternoon we sighted the ship from the .Southwest Bay. Polly was nearly dead. He said he would rather stay, ashoro and'die than try to swim out again. ��������� "The ship put off a boat, but she could not gel near' shore. -So we swam out to a rock in the bay with young Polly and were taken off by the help of a cable., "lhe captain consulted us about continuing the search and' we told him it would take a good force of men, with plenty of tools and provisions, and that they ought to remain ashore at least two weeks. He decided that he could not afford the time and the risk. There was no safety for the ship as long as she remained near the island.- "For three days afler returning to tiie ship young Polly was very sick. When he gol better he told ua how ho was connected with the enterprise. ��������� 't "His father, about 1S77,' was captain of the ship Anrea,-belonging to tlie Tully firm aud went to C'aiiao, in Peru. On the return voyage he shipped a sailor named John Smith. This man waa taken very sick by the time the vessel reached the Horn and found himself at the point of'death. Capt.

" He was gratetul to her, and when he felt sure that he was dying he gave,, her somo papers, which, he said, would make her and her hasbaud the richest peop'e1 alive.

One of them told that Smith had been one of'the crew of a pirate ship during the war between Chili and Peru. The others on the ship were eighteen Spaniards and another Englishman. In 1841 they plundered Lima, the richest city, in South America, carrying oil" the plate from the Cathedral and quantities of valuables which had been stored in other places.

Then young Polly asked the captain to take him as near shore as possible iu a boat and let him swim ashore. Tha captain had orders from the owners of the ship that Polly should not be put ashore alone and told-him eo.

It cau't be done by one of the street grinders vyho ruu their tinkling emery wheels and griudstones through the streets, because they are likely to take all tho temper out of the. steel the moment they touch tho razor to the emerv. An inexperienced workman may injure a valuable blade far more than he improves it. That is the reason why the Swedish razor grinder is so particular about his workshop ���������and a wonderful place it is. The ceiliuy is full of slapping bauds and ."pinning shaft.--, small in sue mid home made, and all about arc the grindstoneh and polishing wheels, before each of which a man sua sharpening aomo kind of instrument. Tne grindstones all come from Germany and France, and for the hollow grinding of razors the edges aro curved on the arcs of circles varying m size from S inches up to '2 feet. Over each of the grindstones hanga a can of water which is tilted with a faucet so small that only a minute stream fails upon the stone. < The razor is held squarely aud firmly on a coarse stone by a workman, who knowa just how many minutes the grinding should p.-oceed. Then it is .���������removed to a finer stone, and so on until the odgo is sharp enough. The w-uer must not cease dripping for a moment, for if the razor heats it is ten chances to one that the temper will be injured. The blade is now passed along to tho polisher, who sits close to a narrow wooden wheel, coated outside with leather. This he sprinkles from time to nine with very fine emery duat aud no water is used. When the edge has been smoothed down the razor goes for a moment lo the buffina wheel, which is mado up of hundreds of layers of fine linen cloih, closely bound together. Now the razor is ready for honing, then for strappina, and it finally takes its place under the barber's mirror. Archbishop Walsh was born In Ireland, In lR-'O. He took charge ot St. Mnry's church, Toronto In 1S57. An AI I.i ii in city barber has cntra-jed two female assistants to wield razors. ^ ,- lord CROMER. ��������� This statement startled and alarmed British people who had always taken it for granted that the Egyptian fellaheen were prospering under the 'economic financial administration of the British and their splendid irrigation policy. SirElwin Palmer, the British financial adviser in Egypt, had a careful investigation of the registers of the tribunals made in order to set forlh the truih and the result just published is remarkable : > Instead of a total indebtedness' which, according to that ; Assembly amounted three years ago to over tE:"0,000,000 and since been steadily increasing from day to day, its real a mount is to-day only ������E7, 323,000, or a little more than '. . on*b third of nru I'lHURE adopted in the Council's report.1 Instead of the amount of land mortgaged being in excess of 1,300,000 feddans, it does not reach1"-400,000,ledilane. There are 513,C30 or more thau half a million amall landowners who together own nearly a million feddans of land,��������� i.e., one-fifth of' the cultivated area of Egypt., If the fellaheeu were really crushed under intolerable burdens, would not this class more than any other be found struggling under a desperate load of indebtedness? But- the reverse is the case. t0f these fellaheen landowners, who lorrn the bulk and backbone of the agricultural population, little more than two in every 100 have mortgaged their small holdiugs, and oi the aggregate holdings .of the whole class little more than two per cent, are encumbered. Nor is there anything lo caiiBe alaim in the situation of the other classes, which may be. taken as representing the more well-io-do peasantry. In no caae does the proportion of land mortgaged to laud owned reach eight per cent, and the average proportion for the four categories into which tho owners nfland ianging from five to fifty feddans are divided in Sir El- win's report, represents binely five percent of the indebtedness. It is rniy when' welcome to the large landowners���������i.e., to those who own over fifjy feddans of land���������lhat the ratiorof indebtedness shows C-iriout Efrecl ������f 1'erfiitiies on singers��������� liie Violet the tVorst. Miss May Yo'ne has confided to an interviewer the interesting fact that she cannot, bear to have flowers near ' her when singing, as their perfume utterly destroys her voice. The lady added that she could' not account for ibis "curious fuel," The' ell'ect of flowers on the voice has recently excited a good deal of attention in France, and Dr.Joal of Mont Dore has published an elaborate paper on the subject. He relates a number of cases whicli have come under his own observation iii whicli thickness, huskiuesa, and even complete loss of voice arealways'caused by penetrating odors. In some persona it is only the perfume of particular flowers that produces this efleet; in others tho odor of incense or musk, or the smells of the kitchen,'lanyard, ,or smithy act in tho same way. " The bad effect of flowers on the vcice i3 so well known among singers that M.Faure, Mme. Krausc, and other eminent teachers -aution their pupils against having them in urieir dressing rooms, and a jealous prima donna has been known to secure, herself against the possible triumph of a rival by treacherously presenting her with a magnificent bouquet just before she went on tho stage. ' Testim'ony to the evil effects of flowers on ihe voice is borne,by Mme. Christine Nilsson and other famous singers, ani by IaryiifrologistB like Dr. Fauvel and Dr. Goiigueuheim of Paris. The flower which has ,the worst reputation in this respect is the violet, but there is no evidence that it is really more harmful to the voice than other sweot-smeliing flowers, such as the rose, the mignonette, the heliotrope, the lily of the valley, the gardenia, the lilac, and the tuberose. The explanation of this curious idiosyncrasy is probably lo be found in a special sensitiveness of the olfactory mucous membrane lo the action, mechanical or chemical, of certain odorous particles; The mechanism is, roughly speaking, congestion of the mucoiis'inembraiie of the turbinate bodies, which, it will be remembered, is largely erectile, followed' by reflex vaarimoto, disturbance of lhe'vocal apparatus. Dr. Joalsays that the effect manifests itself not, only in oongestion of the nose,' nosopharynx and larynx, but,in paresis oi tho constrictor muscles of,the glottis and spasms of the bronchial tubes. The-respiratory capacity, as tested by the spirometer, is , notably reduced, and the voice not. only loses brilliancy and volume, but part of its compass and tho singer is much more easily fatigued than in his natural state.' The moral seems to be that singers who are the subjects of this particular infirmity must banish not only flowers but all strong perfumes from their environment,' if they SUICIDE il THE OEIEIT.

' Many Chinese laborers were .biought to the Isthmus of Panama toabsi3t iu building the'railway which now joins the two oceans. The work being hard and the climate uuhealthi'ul, they killed tho.n- selvee in great numbers, , aud it was no uncommon thing to find, h-ilf a dozeu of themp" any fine morning,dangling by their uecks'from the trees'aloinr the roa'd that was in course of consttuctiori. These pig- tailed Orientals almost invariably select poison, hanging or drowning as a means of self destruction. They seldom cut their throats,because they believe that they will appear in the next world exactly'as they have left this one, and it would rot be agreeable to go about with a alir, throat in the laud of spirits. What has just been said is supposed to apply even'to their dress, so that the intending self-murderer puts, on hia or her beat clothes before committing the act. The recent suicides of Chinese , ��������� JTAVAr. AN*D MILITARY LEADERS made them aafe from sentences of decapitation, such as were issued against others of the commanders. ' This was fortunate for them, for, if they had been beheaded, they wouid1 have appeared in the next world without any heads. Incidentally all of their ancestors would have been iuvolved. It is quite possible that the Emperor will issue an order depriving the ancestors of the defeated leadeta o; the rank which they have hitherto enjoyed. The power of the sovereign thus,extends to the domain of 3pnits. When a title is to be conferred upon'oue of his subjects," it is a customary preliminary to raise the rank of the ancestor of the individual so honored. This matter being somewhat technical, it is impossible to estimate with exactness tho amount of damage done to Li Hung Chang's great-great-grandfather by the withdrawal from that eminent statesman of the'Yollow Riding .T'tcket and the Three-Kyed Peacock's Featner. This idea, absurd as it seems, has found its analogy iu England, where within quite recent times the wholo family of a person guilty of treason waa attainted and lhe estiues of innocent relatives were confiscated. Tho Chinese are the greatest gamblers in che woild, and ihe women frequently commit suicide becauaoof tho loss of money and jewels at play. It is not an uncommon tiling for these people to kill themselves for the sako of revenge. In the Peking Gezelte of June 10, 1872, is mentioned llio c,i>*c of a family of four persons who, having drawn tip a btatement of their grievances, throw themselves into a well for the purpose of securing the piuii-hmeiil. of a relative who had cheulod ilium out of their patrimony. Gtay, the author of lhe well known work on China, to whom the wiilcr is much indebted, says that more suicides in' China i i l"itA to us much us 10.C00 Initio. Tiie ' police authorities consent to this sort of Etciiiui-Iiulilc Slren^iii, of a Striielui-i eenlly i.-omolliiieii In Liverpool. Ill demoliahing a part of tho Albert ware- bpusesiiu Liveipool, belonging to the Mersey Docka and Harbor Board, it occurred to the assistant engineer in charge of tho work to make some investigations iiito tho strength of the old brickwork. Tlicrwall was built about fifl.y'years ago of handmade bricks, laid iu ground mortar mado with flintshire lime. This limo is in a high degree hydraulic and has ,a reputation of making mortar ot exceptionally good quality. The Journal of the Royal Institute of British Architects, which describes tho investigation, 'states that tho engineer conceived the happy thought of.leaving a piece of it in the form of a horizontal beam, Having a twelve-fool span and measuring about two feet equate in section, aoveu courses iu the height of a two-foot wall. The cuds of the beams were not cut free from the rest of the woik. This -beam was then' loaded with nil the weight that could"1 bo conveniently piled upon lt.with appreciable deflection or other sign of weakness resulting. Two courses were then cut off and the whole weight again put on,but without other lesult. This beam was further-reduced by a course, leaving it four courses,' or fourteen inches deep, nnd the ends wore also cut free from the oilier work���������tho mortar beds of the twelve-inch 'bearings being left untouched. A centrally placed load of five tons fifteen hundredweight waa then gradually piled upon it.aud was borne for several days without apparent ellect upon the'brick wo; k, Filially rlie weight was increased to six tons nine hundredweight twenty-three pounds, whioh was 'sustained tor thirty,hour.-., when llio beam collapsed during the night and came down in pieces more liko broken timber than anything else. Other tests were made with similarly astonishing results, but the above are sufficient to show what really tirat-rate brickwork iu hydraulic limo will stand. l' , -.��������� .a.. HYPNO'IISM SUSTAINED/, 'The Coiivie.Mon of a .llaii Who Influence'! Another to Murder Slnst Stand. The ' Supreme Court of Kansas has rendered a decision in whicli hypnotism is recognized both as a defence and ground for conviction of crime. The case passed upon came up from the Cowley county District Court. On May 5 last Thomas McDonald without apparent provocation, shot aad killed Thomas Patton near his home in Winlield. He was arrested, charged with murder, and set up a defence that;he was under the hypnotic influence of Anderson ' Gray, und was neither legally nor morally responsible for the deed. He was acquitted. Then Gray waa put under arrest and tried for murder. lie was found guilty of murder in the fit at degree, notwithstanding the fact that he was not present when the crime was committed, the evidence for tho State only going to show that ho caused s* McDonald to do the deed through hypnotic influence. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, und in an opinion rendered to-day tho ruling of tho lower court was' sustained. pitied Kleptomaniacs In Paris., To believe a French writer, there are no fewer than 4,000 women caught every year in stealing during their shopping expeditions, a habit euphoniously sl.ylod kiopto- ' mania. Tho number of titled ladies seized with this strange malany while examining the fashions of Pans, he tells us, is almo.-t incredible." Among tho moat recent culprits were a Itus-uau princess, a Fiench countcEH, an English duche'-H and lhe daughter of l a reigning covereign. As a rule, these more distinguished offenders arc let oil ou the payment of a round .-i*.ni for the rolief of the poor, uud when the shoplifter ia known to bo rich, the sum exacted UlISUl.T I'KOM Ql'AKKKI.S condonation. Little Ben's Way of Putting- It. Little Ken lives iu a now house, one of the most modern of modern houses, where light, water, heat and other things aro all to be had by turning a knob or touching a bell. Ho lives in a state of perpetual marvel over these things, and the other night, when suffering from a headache, the little fellow said to his mother, who sat beside him : Please turn on the dark, mother ; niy oyes hurt me. ������a������ Into each life some rain must full, ICilher your own or your fellow's; It is wise therefore that one and all Should have umbrollas. hiiti from any other eauae. As an oxample, ho slates the case of Ho Akow, doorkeeper of tho Consular Church at Canton, who was accused by a gardener of having killoda canary. He denied it, declaring that a rat had done it. The charyo being repeaiod, ho went up inLo the steeple of the church and took a fatal dose of opium. Such instances are exceedingly common, self-slaughter being mspiiod, apparently,' by a passionate sense of injury received. Of all moans of suicide, opium is the greatest favorite ; arsenic is sometimes taken,but it is painful. It is honorablo for a young man to kill himself when ho finila himself unable to avenge insult lhat has been offered to his parents. Perhaps the most famous and highly scientific form of Filicide ia, or rather was, that called hari-kari. Formerly it was a national institution in Japan, but it no longer prevails, having been dropped with other barbarous customs incidentally to tho adoption of western civilization. In that country every gentleman used to be taucht while yet a boy how a porson of condition should kill himself, the evact spot boing indicated at which the entering knife would cause death and dostroy consciousness It Pays to be a King1. There is certainly one very nice feature about being a potentate, and that is the income that comes lo the occupint of a lofty place. Besides haviug all his wants attended to, and a large number of palaces always at hia disposal, the Emperor of Russia is said'to receive 6-0,000 a day ; the Sultan of Turkey receive, SiS.OOo a day; the Emperor of Austria rejoices iu $10,000 a day; Emperor William has to get along on S3,000 from breakfast lo bed- nmo ; Queen Victoria has ������35,000 to spend every week, and tho President oi the United States receives a trifle under a thousand dollars a week, but a great deal of freo advertising goes with the office.
