' much of her orreat-yes:;, and now that Germany's Grand 'Minerhas"been trying to pursuadeits readers that the Opposition are in office, and that all was clear sailing for those-great saviors of the people. On the same high authority^ it is stated that ,lj;cseph Martin will either take the premiership or else that he will not." We rather incline to the thought that he will not. It is reported that arrangements have been made to organize a naval reserve among'the fishermen of Newfoundland, five hundred of whom will be enrolled and duly instructed. The experiment is a new one. It has not been applied to any of the colonies, although why it should not it is difficult to understand. Along the Atlantic as well as the Pacific shores a naval reserve would be vexy desirable in case of trouble, and .would be a decided acquisition. With the militia forces on land and a good naval reserve Canada would be in a position to hold her own., Hoole3'-, a notorious English company promoter, is making startling revelations in',London,.which go to prove that financial circles in the great metropolis are as corrupt as any-' where else. It is' a well known fact that: many men lend their names to companies to give them prestige, but few had any idea that the company oromoter is the crooked indivi- dual wdiich Hoole3T describes. Asa result of the investigation now going on it is said that several verA'- prominent business men are leaving the countr}--, and the inference is that .they are afraid of being drawn into the dirty- business. Briber and corruption of the worst class have been proved, and little details given as to company promoting which are calculated to shock the public. The Nicaraguan Canal project is once again being forced on the attention of the public, and this time it looks as if business is meant. President McKinley, it is stated wall make a strong recommendation to congress for legislation to ensure che completion of the work. The utility of the canal has been veryr clearty demonstrsted during the war with Spain. It is a work which will alter very considerably the geography of the wrestern hemisphere. Fishery Commissioner Little is responsible for the statement that the Columbia river will soon be " fished out," owing to the policy of the Oregon fishermen and the fact that the state does little or nothing to propagate its fish. The lack of hatcheries and a license law for the protection of salmon, he declares, wall eventually' mean a loss of the industry on the Columbia river. The falling off of the salmon ydeld has led the people to taking an interest in the matter this year. Lord Charles Beresford has been proclaiming that the British navy is not what it should be, and he threatens that if parliament does not do what he considers the right thing, he will hold, meetings throughout the country and invoke public sentiment in the cause. Eord Charles wants more,ships, more men, and more money. And hdsdordship goes even farther, and would increase the pension of the navy men. He thinks 29 cents per day is inadequate as a pension for men who have put in 32 years. Why pension them at all ? Would it not be better polic3'r to pa3' the men a fair rate of wage and let them make provision for old age and the raii/y^ da3* ? , Why should,public servants be pensioned while private citizens, '/who la variably work much harder,' are obliged to look out for themselves. Pampored public servants cost the country more than they are .worth..: At last the Spanish Government is s'ueing. for peace. Frcm the very commencement of hostilities it w7as a foregone" conclusion that the United States would whip the Spaniards, and now Spain must make the best terms she can, Spanish ruiein Cuba has beeu a disgrace to civilization. In the natural order of things it could not endure, and now that a victory 1 as been achieved under the Stars and Stripes, it is to be hoped that statesmen will have a voice in the settlement of damages to the utter exclusion of yellow journalism. The province of British Columbia is admittedly one of the richest in the dominion, and that any thin g shou 1 d be done to retard iIs pro- gress is matter for regret. A' couple of years ago an ill-advised agitation was started for the separation of the island from the mainland, but wiser counsel prevailed, and the 'hot-headed fanatics w;ho advocated the change were, for the time being, silenced. We regret to observe that the dismemberment of the province is again being agitated, and on no higher grounds than those of making political capital" out of existing differences. The movement, however, has not long to live. Capt.- Smith, (the Halifax member of the farnity) R. N. R., Government wreck commissioner, has made public his report :pii the result of his inquir3' into the cases of the collision between the French steamer EaBourgogne and the British ship Cromartyshire which resulted in the loss of the former vessel with over 500 on board. Capt. Henderson and officers of the Cromartyshire arc declared free from responsibility for the disaster .and their conduct after the colision is pronounced to have been praiseworthy. As for the La- Bourgogme the evidence, it is asserted, is clear that instead of endeavoring to avoid the Cromart3*shire she made no effort to do so. She was running at a very high rate of speed, whereas she should have maintained onty moderate speed on account of the thick leg which prevailed. Halifax fogs are thick. Besides she was a long distar.ee cut of the course laid down in the Atlantic pilot chart. Capt. Smith expresses the opinion selected for passenger steamers to and from American ports. These routes, he sayTs, should be established by^ law and adopted hy the Governments of the various nationalities and should be laid down where the least amount of fog wrould be met. But the fog was thick, and it required all the steam that could be generated in the boilers to get through it in the case of the Bourgogne. United States with a desire, to deal generously with Spain. ' The Saturday Review, for instance, says : " We are convinced that America, now she has learned to appreciate the bravery and fighting qualities of .the Spaniards, as well, as the . worthlessnesS' of the Cuban rebels, will make, obvious atoiiement for the precipitancy^ with which she entered upon the war by*dealing generously with her opponent." The American press, on the other hand, is advocating the dangerous doctrine of acquisition, which io likely to lead to trouble. , \\ The new woman is rapidly coming to the front in alf lines of business, and especially ill the higher professions and callings. A short time ago Miss Marie Tenney graduated from a theological school, earned the degree of bachelor of divinity, and was ordained as a minister of the Gospel in Syracuse. During the ceremonies the invocation was offered by Rev. Maria Murdoch, who is administering the affairs of a good-sized parish. Near the end of the service Rev, Mrs. Sofford extended the right hand of fellowship in a neat and eloquent address and the Rev..:M'iaryari'ne Murphy followed suit. But we are living under a new order of things, and must be prepared for the new' worn ait. YMIR. The English papers generally credit the (Special correspondence to The Economist.) ������ Two large orders have been given for lumber by the Canadian Pacific Exploration, Ltd., and the London & B. C. Goldfields to Frank Lavin, Salmo. This will be used for the erection of their concentrators. It is reported that the tovvnsite will change hands in the near future. This is decidedly welcome news to the Ymirites. With the change I fee! confident that the town will go ahead. Mr. A. B.

It was the moment of supretnest pleasure to Abner. The Wedding canop3' had been raised, the benediction uttered, the wring placed on the bride's finger, the kiss given to seal the union, She was his own at last. His highest ambition had been gratified. With words of congratulation his friends crowded around him. It was a joyous atmosphere indeed, while his wife gazed at him with the lovelight in her eyes.' '' Dearest," he exclaimed suddenly as he withdrew with her for a moment to a corner of the apartment which overlooked the garden with its winding paths, from which strains of music arose, inviting all to the dance : '' dearest, I must leave thee now." "Oh, Abrier," the bride half sobbed in reply, ���'..-' wouldst thou leave me at this moment of all moments -in-, the world ? Why, the echoes of the marriage blessings still resound in the air. Whither wouldst thou go, dearest? Surety'," she added, with a look of reproach, " thy place is now at my side. Wouldst thou forsake me on our wedding -day?" '���'���', ������;'" f' -May,.-.' my beloved ; make no close inquir3r, nor seek to restrain me. I must go. I ' ��� ��� �� �� have sworn to go. Only trust in me and doubt not my faithfulness. I shall return within an hour, and then explain all to thee. Have no fear for my sake." And without further farewell than a quick embrace. Abner left her and hurried into the open air before the astonished guests could realize that the bridegroom was missing. Of all the 3'outh in Jerusalem Abner and Caleb were the comeliest lads, and their frend- ship had grown into a proverb. Close companions at school from boyhood to earty manhood, no love could have been more tender, no sympathy' more profound, than that which made them kindred spirits. The3' were fond of the same pleasures, they shared the same dreams, their studies and occupations were alike, aspirations indentical. The3' loved to give free rein to their fancies with youth's rapt enthusiasm and build such dream palaces that the magic splendor of Solomon's creations paled in comparison. What a daring architect is 3'outh ! It knows not the impossible. It bridges the chasm of infinite time. It rears a structure to the highest heaven. It summons to its aid principalities and powers, and never acknowledges defeat. Love and hope and faith are the patient genii who at its exultant bidding transform earth and sk3*. Among the topics which Abner and Caleb were fond of discussing as they grewr to maturity the future life and immortality appealed to them most strongly. The fact that it was but dimly foreshadowed in the law and the prophets added to its fascination, and the rare refernces to it in the debates of the schools onty increased its hold upon them. One da3T in the heat of their arguments Caleb, more impassioned than usual, had seized his companion's hand. "Abner," he exclaimed, "wouldst thou know the secrets of eternal life ?" , " Why, Caleb!" Abner rejoined, moved by his friend's earnestness, \\' what a strange question to ask ? How can we mortals understand aught of immortaluy ? Does not our law say that ' the secret things belong to the 'Lord. M; .���;'.������; 'y/������'���" ,. ���"'-. "Faith can pierce all barriers, dear friend,'' Caleb answered impressively, "and love, though buried from sight, can make its own revelation." ���\\M What dost thou mean, Caleb, by those mysterious words aiid thrilling tones ?'' Abner inquired, deeply stirred^ for he felt that never before had their conversation been so earnest. " Dost thou not believe, Abner, in immortality'?";".; "Surely, Caleb, I do, as the central conviction of my nature." " If this is thy belief, then, may not the immortal spirit seek converse with 'mortality and minister to the wants and desires of mortal flesh on earth ?" "Caleb, thou shouldst not speak in this strain. It is almost blasphemy, Think of the fate of the sons of Haron who brought strange fire into the sanctua^ !" " Nay, Abner, I am guilty of no blaspheiry. Lam convinced that those who pass from life do not become as petrified as the slabs that cover them. They hover around those who loved them and whom they ' loved on earth and mingle in their jo3's arid sorrow." " It must be so, Caleb, if thou thinkest so," said Abner after a pause. " Come, Abner," Caleb soletnty exclaimed, "let us swear by the eternal that if either of us die the survivor shall seek to communic-ite with thedeparted one and visit the sepulcher at the moment of his highest happiness on earth. Then it is my fervent belief that the secret of heavenly happiness will be unfolded, and .we shall attain the highest degree of intelligence." The compact was made���an unsual thing in those days among the pious Jewish youth��� and the conversation ended. In a few years Caleb died, and Abner, disconsolate and dejected, disdained for a while all society, but spent the largest share of his leisure at the friend's grave, reflecting on his genial traits and their loving intercourse. Time, however, works its magical changes, and now he had married. " I had almost forgotton thee, beloved Caleb," said Abner softly to himself as he left the crowded streets of Jerusalem and gained the roadway leading to the cemetery. '' Surely this is the happiest moment of my life, wedded to the one I hold most dear. Could their be a more fitting time to think of thee and our mutual oath ?" It did not take long, for the distance was short and we wTalked with hurried steps, before Abner found himself close to the simple slab that covered the remains of Caleb. Flinging himself upon it, he gave wray to his emot- tions, but b3' a strong effort his self control gained the mastery. Then he communed thus with the spirit of his friend : " Beloved Caleb, not with fear and trembling but with glad confidence I approach thee. Thou rememberest our oath. I have come to thy grave at the full tide of my happiness, to learn of thy experience in the realms of bliss. Thou recallest our converse in chose joyous da3^s of youth when it was our desire to pierce all myster3'. Be near to me now, dear friend, and in thy purified state uplift the veil which hides the rnortal froin the immortal. Inspire me now oh, Caleb, with the knowledge I seek and let me not ask in vain." Abner ceased, half expectant of some response. But no voice broke the stillness. The shadows of evening were deepening. One by one the stars shone in the firmament., Abner failed to notice the advancing night in his rapt contemplation. Then a faint murmuring rent the air and the trees that skirted the burial ground seemed to give forth a sobbing sound. "Oh, Caleb," Abner entreated, with outstretched hands; "answer me. By the eneffable name of God,' answer me." The tremusous weeping of a child was borne on the breeze. A flash of lightening lit up the distant hills, and a rumbling as of thunder was heard. " Do I disturb thee, oh, Caleb, from thy, rest ? Forgive me, beloved friend. But answer me, as thou didst swear to do. Tell me the delights of immortal life." "Abner? Abner !" At the words Abner's countenance shone with sudden Jo3r. '*_ At last !" he exclaimed. " At last I hear thy voice again !" " Abner, such a delight is mine as is comparable to no eartty bliss. So pure, so radiant, so serene, are my companions that my voice cannot describe a thousandth portion of my happiness. Have no regret at our served friendship. A swreeter, stronger bond unites us now. Dost thou yearn to see again m3r features and clasp my hand as of old ? Why, I am nearer to thee than in the past, and my eye sees clearer within where spirit responds to solve the mystery. I have gained the heights." The voice ceased for a moment and then resumed : " More could I tell thee. But dost thou know the penalty? A thousand years on earth are but a moment in eternity. Even as thou communest with me here, beloved friend, the 3'ears vanish and life recedes. Oh, hasten, hasten, ere it be too late ! Thy bride awaits thee and wonders why thou art tarrying. Wouldst thou learn the secret of eternal life ? Make thy earth a heaven and live well thy mortal years, with their alternate sun- .shine and shade, as best preparation for immortality. But hasten, hasten ! I dare speak no more, for thine own dear sake." Again a child's tremulous wail was borne to Abner's ear. There came a flash of lightening and the muttering of thunder. Then the shadows lifted, and it was sunrise on earth, with a fresh, cheerful air sweeping across the hills. " Why, I have been sleeping," Abner exclaimed, risiag with difficulty from the ground. "How careless on my part;?! My limbs are as stiff as an old man'sy and my shagg3r beard has grown overnight. A THE NELSON ECONOMIST.

In seaking to pierce the mysteries of the future, the present had passed from view and left Abner in solitude. That was the penalty of seeing visions. c LARRY'S LETTER. ���[ Hoga.n's~ Alley, Aug i. , Deer Tim,���-I didn't see- any-thing more ov the big bull that I was telling ye about last week1;-'but I'm to wid that Paddy- Mydes is on the look Out for him, an', that if he shows his horns agin in the park, they'll ornamint the stalls ov the pound for a whoile. The}' calls the bull Hurry-up.; They're getting the new graveyard ready now, Tim, so that we can be all dasently buried whin our toime comes. We can rest in peace near Cottonwood Creek, wid the mountains all round as monuments higher an' yet grander than Nelson's piller in the foinest an' richest country in the world (of coorse I mane owdd Ireland) thats alwa}rs Dublin its capital. I was telling Teddy Branigan about that ghost what they say7" was seen near the owld grave\\rard in the park the other noight, an' he spun me a yarn about Daddy Nuts that used to nock about Galway in the days whin meself was yung an' innocent. Daddy put it in his will that he should be buried wid a bag ov nuts under his head. Some toime after the wake an' the funeral, Tady an' some more ov the boy7s wor talking ov poor owld Daddyr an' his pillow, an' won ov thim said 'twas a pit\\' to have the nuts wid the corpse an' thim wid- out any, so theyr began to think how they wor to get at thim. Won ov thim said he wouldn't rob the dead for anything, an' the others towld him he'd be afeerd. The chap said he wasn't afeerd, an' that if Tady 'd go wid him he'd get the nuts. Well, they had a bet on it��� Tady an' the other chap wor to go to the grave an' get the nuts, ate thim, an' bring back the shells iu the pillow case. Won moonloight noight they started off on their journey, Tady wid a pick across his showlder an' Paddy wid a spade. As they wor going along the road they met something coming toward thim moving on a'pair ov black legs wid the rest ov the body white, an' they trimbled an awful trimble. "Where are ye going?" say^s the thing in white. Foinding thimselves cornered, Tady got his pick ready for action an' Paddy un- showldered the spade. " Where are y~e going yerself ?" says they to the thing in white, be the way theyr wor going to lambaste it. " As none ov us is//after dasent work," sa3'S the thing in white, "I may as well be telling ye that I'm going to stale won of Galligher's prize lambs, and I brought this sheet wid me to rowl him up in. What are ye chaps after ?" Th.e.y towld him that they wor going to Dadcty's grave to dig up the 'nuts for a woger. " That's,aisy," say^s the sheepstaiier, "for there isn't a living spwl there to see 3re, but owld Granny- Magee at the lodge, and she can't put a fut under her -wid"the rumatis. I'll meet 3'e at the grave whip I'm coming back,". "says'' he, an'wid that they separated, they did, the sheep-stailer for the, sheep an' the grave-diggers for the grave. As soon as they .got tp'the'ch-apel-yard-they,;lit a -lantern to foind out -.Daddy Nuts tombstone, an' began to dig. Twasn't long till they got to the .coffin, but" they made so much noise opening it that they roused owld Biddy Magee, an' the poor froightened soul crawled out ov her bed to see what was going on. The moon had slunk behoind a passing cloud, an'all she seen was the glimmer ov the lantern be the grave soide, but whin the cloud sped on, an' the moon showed Iter pale face 'agin, the little, spark ov the lantern was dimmed, an' Qr nny Magee bohowled Tady Branigan sitting at the edge ov the grave ateing nuts. She thought it was owld Daddy that ris from trie dead to have a feed ov filberts, an' she started to screem: ���-for tho* wake ov limb she was strong ov lung. As soon as the bovs heerd her screem- ing "they hid behoind the tomb-stones, an' it wasn't long till a-mile-away^ nabor made his appearance at the lodge. " Ho ly St. Patrick, Jerry Connolly," sa3'S she, "there's Daddy Nutts riz from his grave, an' he's ateing thim.

Jerry was a kind ov skeered, an' says Granny to him, " yer no man at all at all to be afeerd," says she, "an' if meself had the use ov me limbs, tis I would'nt moind going- over an' telling that owld chap to get into his grave an' behave hisself."

But Jerry was dazed wid fear, an' whin he got up to the grave says Tacty to him, sa>^s he, thinking' it was the sheep-stailer, "You've got a good won, 1 hopes."

Claf- lin) has a very interesting letter in Public Opinion on the. Anglo-American xAlliance. Her ladyship draws a comparison between the Golden Age as sung by the ancient poets and the present day^, and wonders when the prophecyr of Isaiah will be fulfilled and " they shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks : nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any- more." She points to the fact that : " At the present moment Europe is an armed camp reacty for slaughter. Of her . sixty million men twelve million are trained soldiers. And the .New .World has recently^ entered on the f-rtal career of the old. But a remote and comparatively insignificant contest is sufficient to dislocate the delicate social machinery of every civilized State, and a dilatory contest /carries famine to the hearths of the poor, �� thousands of miles from the conflict. In various countries in both, he.mi.s'pheres, starving men and women are rioting for bread : what they really want is peace." Pursuing the subject her ladyship asks: "Can nothing be done, then; to make war more difficult ? Is the Golclen Age to 'be merety a poetic dream, never to be in any degree realised ? We trust not. For, if we mistake not, the first faint streak of the brighter dawn is breaking. In both the Old and the New World men of clear heads and generous hearts are looking forward to a confederation of the English-speaking peoples. And the slightest consideration of the matter must convince every unprejudiced mind that the speedy accomplishment of an Anglo- American Alliance, based upon sound, equitable, and permanent principles, will lay the foundation of a new era, one which, perchance, may be crowned by universal and perennial peace. "It is always unsafe to prophesy, nevertheless we may venture to forecast the prabable outcome of an Anglo-American Alliance, instituted for mutual defence, and to keep the , world's peace. In the first place, every coun- I try whose intelligence enables it to perceive i that its interests also are best promoted bv i repressing warfare, will desire to share in the j advantages of such an alliance. France and I Germany would bury their animosities, and ; compete with each other, and with ourselves, ��� in friendly rivalries only. Austria, Italy, and I the miner states would follow. One power i alone would have cause to regard this interna- j tional policy with hatred, since it would arrest ! her career of conquest and destroy' her hope of i universal domination. Since the days of Peter the Great she has been the chief disturbing ; element in Europe, and has set the example of tlio.se vast armaments which are ruining almost all the nations, and which keep Russia itself ; in perpetual poverty." ����� THE NELSON ECONOMIST. THE CITY COUNCIL. ' The 'weekly meeting of the city* council was held on, Monday afternoon, Mayor Houston presiding. His worship was in a-:very talkative mood, and Aldermen Giiker, Madden, Hillyer and .Malone were the appreciative audience. The proceedings were started with a resolution which was said to have been proposed by^ Aid,"��� Hillyer and seconded. by Aid. Gilk'er, that from this date the city will not be respoii- sible.for bills unless accompanied by a requisition signed by the mayor. The resolution was put and carried. Then followed .-'another.."resolution by the same mover and seconder, that the maygr be instructed to employ ./legal services 'as' the, city may require same, and that John Elliott be no longer '.--city solicitor. Aid. Malone asked if the city solicitor had been doing his duty*. ." . - ' The mayor: That is for the council to determine. Aid. Giiker : Is it'necessary to-, have a city , . ����� , ��� solicitor all the time ? Th e "M ay or : Th e bills bro u gh t be fore t h e council have been altogether too large for the services rendered the city. ������;��������� From this time forth I think it would be well to have no. city solicitor. If we should want legal advice we can get it and pay for'it. Aid Malone did not believe in paying a-city solicitor except for services actually rendered. The Mayor : The bills brought in here have been for work for which the city has'-not-received the slightest benefit. I believe he has soaked the city for every dollar he could, and if we had a good solicitor we would not be soaked. In regard to the right of way- for the water works we took his advice and , lodged $700 in theicourt at Victoria and paid $200 in legal fees, and what have we got for it ? The $700 is still in court, and we are as far from a settlement as ever. We don't know where we are. I believe John Elliott is not competent.for the position we gave him, and that he should be fired. Aid. Hillyer : I would not say that the man. is incompetent. The mayor : Well I do, and I put myself on record as saying so. He does not act in the best interests of the city. We have acted on his advice and we had to pay $200 in fees that we received no benefit from and we have ��750 in the registry office, and we don't know when we can get it.out, or where we are. From this day forth we should look after our own interests and not leave them to Mr. Elliott. He certainly has not been looking after our interests. It is time that we discharge him. We want to do away with those people who think they have the right to bleed the city. The motion carried. The next motion was in the name of the same proposer and seconder, and was " That from and after this date the city pay no accounts for the care of the indigent sick." In putting the resolution the mayor said : " This is getting to be a perfect nuisance, and it must be stopped. Men come here from outside places and we have to support them in their sickness. We have/a '.city, health officer'; and , we 'pay' him well for his ���services, but if he attends a case of sickness he sends in his bill and we have to pay .it.-. That is wrong. It is for us to say that we will not pay these accounts. We have hospitals here but they repulse us. We have paid $500 for the care of sick, strangers here within the past few .months. One man, Pitman, cost us nearly $250, and the acting mayor sent him away to Calgary and gave him $5. Now that is.-wrong. Dr.; LaBau gets $500 a year as medical: health officer, but if/he attends a sick man he charges us for it. I would recommend that the office be abolished. We are here' for the benefit of the cit3r, and not for the benefit of a feyv professional men who think they have a right to rob the cit3*. Aid. Hiltyer : I don't agree with y;ou there. I think the interests of--this city are as well looked after as au3^ cit3* in the country. Dr. LaBau is the sanitary officer, and it is not his duty to attend to cases of sickness for the'city*.. Aid. Malone thought it was the duty of the council to look after the indigent sick. In the case of old man Smith he thought he should be sent to the hospital.

He odded : Ail these men think they can bleed the city. Drs. LaBau -tnd Forin charged $60 and some odd cents for attending Pitman in their hospital, although LaBau gets 500 a year as medical health officer. I say7 it is his duty to attend such cases without charge. Pitman was ten weeks in his hospital'and that cost the city $200. Aid. Malone: They are coming in here pretty thick, and it is time to close down. I am told that Smith has property iu Victoria. Aid. Hillyer said this was not so. The man lias no property. The mayor said there was a grocer's bill of $36 for one month in Smith's case. A lot of loafers were living on the city, and it was time to put a stop to it. Aid. Malone said, he understood there were a couple of men living with Smith at the city's expense. The Mayor : There is too much of this, I am tired of these professional blood suckers. No more dirty scrubs ever got their hands on the city than the doctors and lawyers who are bleeding us every turn. Aid. Hiltyer : I don't believe the city of Nelson is a sucker for any one. The Mayor : Well, I place myself on record as saying that we have paid these men money for professional services that were not worth what we paid An application from Turner, Beeton & Co. to have the street level raised opposite their cold store on Water street, was referred to the city engineer. The Mavor : We employ* foremen at liberal salaries, but I notice for the past few days that they are not attending to their work, and that the men under them are lOafing.

In a short time they either feel well enough acquainted to cease trying to be agreeable as at first or they have in reality talked, themselves out. Perhaps they are vain, and others do not see fit to pander to such evident sMflove, suggests a writer in Woman's Life. Be that as it may, when the reaction comes the admirers and adorer's of the first day or two will discover that the wit was not spontaneous, the grace fill manner natural or the interest in their affairs gesiuine, and they drop the flashing, brilliant meteor and look about for the steady glow- in or star that sheds its mild radiance on all about in a quiet, unobtrusive manner, yet with a beauty all its own that is wonderfully taking. The woman who wears well is rarely a beauty^. If she were, perhaps she would consider her personal perfections so great she would deem it unnecessaryf.to cultivate the graces of the heart and mind that prove so attractive to those, about heri ��She is usually possessed of intelligence which lights her countenance as no mere beauty- could ever do and a desire to please, which an unselfish disposition naturally' helps her to accomplish. She keeos ? sunny face turned toward the world with her own troubles pushed far away out of s"ght, while she does her best to assuage those of others. She is always the same, yet ever mono- t >nous, as her originality is one of her chief charms. If she marries, she will love her husband with all her heart, and to him she will s?em a treasure far above the brilliant bit changeable beauties who take a man's he^rt bv storm. It is only the pretty casement window which can afford to be quite independent of blinds ; to the ordinary straight sash window they are a very necessary finish and are more or less answerable for the general appearance of the house, both inside and outside. One of the most elegant blinds is the festoon, usually made of soft silk or sateen and adapted specially for the drawing room or boudoir, as it has the advansage of blending with the decorations, but unfortunately it has a tendency- to collect dust! and quickly get a shabby, neglected j appearance. Not so the lace j embriodered duches blind, which j has also a handsome style, for, if j well made of good cream holland or ! countille cloth, they maybe cleaned j over and over again, each time hav- j ing an appearance of being almost i like new.

It isn't in tune, but a jumble galore Of all the notes in the musical soore, And while to another it's nothing but noise, To me it conveys a heart's volume of joys. Many tiKfl.es in the day I am straining my ear At the door or the window that whistle to.hear, And when from the distance comes floating the sound, I know that my boy on his homeway is bound It tells me he's well long before he's in sight It says he is happy with childhood's delight Then, as it grows louder and nearer, I see My bonnie brave boy wave a welcome tome.

Whenever that blithe, merry whistle is still I know that my darling is certainly ill, And none but a mother's so joyful as when His lips sweetly pucker to v\\ histleagain. Some day when the cares of the world lie must share, When his heart is no longer a light as-the air. His happy-go-lucky shrill whistle no more Will gladden my ears while I watch from the door. But I pray that the time may be long unt.l then, And that when he marches through life with the men He ever will give his dear mother the joy She had when he whistled the tunes oi" a boy.
