THE RESULT OF YESTERDAY'S CONFERENCE IN MONTREAL.Savaita- Bept.~The \u2018Mal this morning has \u2018the folowing despatch trom Washington: \u2014'As & result of his visit of inspection along the Canadian ccast Into the abuses of the immigration laws Superintendent Stump to-day telegraphs the Treasury Department that he hes an arrangement with the Canadian Government at Montreal and also with the steamship and railway lines for the better protection of the United States against further violation of the laws and the possiblity of undesirable immigrants landing in this country by way of Canada.The completion of Buperintendent Stump\u2019s work awaits only the aprroval of Becretary Carlisle before going into effect.That the approval will be given at once goes without saying, as Superintendent Stump was fully aware of what the Treasury Department desired in the matter, having gone over the ground with Seeretary Carlisle before visiting Canada.The restrictions to be placed upon arriving immigrants desired by the United fitates provided for confin- lg tbe ports of entry into this country to six, at which Immigrants can land in Canada from Europe and cross uver the line into the United Slates, Instead of coming in now at all ports of entry.The importance of this arrangement ean hardly be over-estimated, as it will enable the inspectors to prevent the landing of any undesirable immigrant and also to collect the head tax which at present the United States frequently loses.It is stated that nearly all the undesirable immigrants of late years have come into the country through Canada and the Government is highly pleased at the readiness with which the Dominion Government entered into the arrangements to prevent the introduction of pauper immigration into the United States through her dons \u2014\u2014 THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT OBJECTS.Ottawa, Ont, Sept.9.\u2014It is under stood that the Government declines to endorse the arrangement made between the

TRATR BETOND THB MORTHERK AROHI- PELAGO.Bt.John's, Nfid.,, Sept.5.\u2014The United States steamer \u2018Falcon\u2019 arrived here today from Greenland, where she landed the Peary expedition successfully and without less.She left here on July 6 She called at Labrador to get & supply of dogs and visited Battle Harbor, Tur- navick, Hopedals, Okak and Cape Mug- ford in search of dogs.Dogs Ware scarce, Bhe got 3 altogether but lost four donkeys through exposure.She then crossed to the Greenland coast, reaching it on July 27, visiting Holsteinburg, Disco, Upernavick, Cape Yorks, Holsteinhohe and Dalrymple.She got some dogs at each place making the total eighty- seven.This great number is necessary because of the loss of the donkeys Lieut, Peary got five natives at Cape Yorke to help care for the dogs and do rough work about the house, etc.He also got the despatches placed in a barrel and despatches cached there last year by the whaler \u2018Eequimsulx\u2019 to be received by Lisut.Peary when returning south in the \u2018Kite\u2019 but whieh it was impossible to reach because of the {ce at Duck Island.Here two hundred ducks were secured with which to vary the ship's food.A RNOOED BROKEN.The run across to Melville Bay was made in twenty-four hours and fifty minutes, eleven hours better than ever dome before.The party arrived at their destination, Bowdoin Bay, on August 3 anchored in a safe harbor, selected by Lieut.Peary and christened by him Faloon Harbor.It is 3 miles north of McCormack Bay, the former headquarters, now closed by the precipitations of the mountains on the plateau near shore.The sectional house was carried on board the ship and set up and the stores landed without any delay.Several of the party wers engaged in landing and constructing the house while others were employed In carrying the stores to be used In the great inland journey up to the top of the ice-cap in the interior, whero they will be safely stored till needed next spring.This proved a very arduous labor for both men and burros (mules), and only one trip was made daily.When te stores were nearly landed Lieutenant Peary took the ship and started north to hunt for walrus with which to feed the dogs during the winter.Entrekin Vincent accompanied him.They spent four days and went a hundred miles north, to within twelve miles of Cape Sabine, when they were stopped by the ice floss.They got thirty-one wairus, yielding twenty-seven tons of meat and then returned to headquarters.When finished unloading the ship they started for home Aug 20.Al the work was nearly finished and the house almost completed.A few trips only will be required to the tce-cap houses being built for the dogs.Lieut.Peary's house at the old headquarters had been demolished by the natives Lieyt.Peary apparently contemplates shortening his great overland journey next season as he is arranging to re- tura to the United Biates next year instead of 186, as at first projected.He Intended occupying all next year in his &rest inland Journey, trying to get to the north pole if possible.This will be impossible if he is coming back next year, so he is llkely to confine his operations to exploration of the archipelago north of Greenland.Mrs.mother this month, thus adding another incident and à very romantic one to this expedition.The child if it survives will be able to boast of being born farther north than any other white child.\u2018There is no doubt entertained by the party that it will live.Scientific investigations were begun at headquarters before the steamer left and Lieut.Peary made many valuable observations.On the way north it was intended to carry eut a series of boat trips surveying the coast till the season Peary Is likely to become a MONTREAL,

the members of the party were in the best of health and spirits when the ship left, working harmoniously with out a cloud.No trace or information coulé be got of Verhoff, one of the for mer expedition who, it in supposed, fell down a crevasse in a giacier last year while searching for minerals; therefore it 1s certain he met death in the manner conjectured.The party searched also at all stopping places for news of the two Norwegian scientists named Kalstermine and Bjoriing wno went north from here last year to explore Smith's Sound and have not been heard of since.As no details were obtainable they must have been drowned as well as the crew of four who accompanied them in the schooner.Captain Bartiett, the commander of the \u2018Falcon,\u2019 believes the Peary expedition will be completely suceesstul.He pralses the organization work of the expedition highly.The \u2018Falcon\u2019 brought home Mrs.Hodge, stenographer, who accompanied Lieut.Peary.\u2018The \u2018Falcon\u2019 returns next year for Lieut.Peary, who Is desirous that Capt.Bartiett should command her.\u2014_\u2014 McGREEVY AND CONNOLLY.\u2018TRE CROWN SOLICITORS BAT THET ARE READY \u2018TO PROCEED WITH TER TRIAL.Ottawa, Bept.&\u2014The Crown solicitors say they are ready for the trial of the Hon.Thos.McGreevy and Mr.Nicholas Connolly at the Assizes this month.They subpoenaed their witnesses two months ago in order to prevent them skipping out.They also have a war- tant for the arrest of Mr.R.McGreevy who started to obey the subpoena inst Assises, but got off the train at Three Rivers.All this looks

brow is smooth and open, telling that, In spite of savage rate- cutting, which robe the British sbare- holder of his dividends, in spite of multifarious care tast pursues the man of large affairs like an apparition that will not be denled admittance Into the closet of the mind, and despite a world that trembles with felling banks and rall- way corporations, his \u2018bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne.\u2019 e president of the Grand Trunk goes to bed early and rises early.That is old-fashioned now-a-days, but it is the secret of the bright eye, the hesithy cheek, the elastic step.And so that senastional rumor that the Grand Trunk was about to change bands was pure vention.It may be æet down to the fine Italian hand of the subsidized newspaper correspondent.Sir Henry ought to know, and Sir Henry sald this morning what is printed above.It hes often been asked why does the Grand Trunk not pay dividends ?It ie well to note Sir Henry's reply to that question.\u201cThe resson 16 very simple.The rates are low.They are frightfully low.They SIR HENRY TYLER.ernment was anxious to proceed to trial, but so they said last Assizes, and yet ft was Mr.Osler who app.ied for « postponement.Major Perley, ex- Chief Engineer of the Public Works Department, is quite able now to testify In Court.Mr.O'Connor, Crown solicitor, rays he does not ses how they can help going on this time.\u2014\u2014 A POLITICAL RUMOR DIS CREDITED.Ottawa, Sept.8\u2014The point has been raised that even If the Gowernment desired to dissolve Parliament before another session, the Jast thing in thelr minds, they have not the power.Because, under the Redistribution Act of 1082, the next general election must be held as per the redistributed constituencies and as another act provides that there shall be no revision of the lists this year it Is argued that there would be no voters\u2019 lists for the numerous new constituencies, and that this bars the way for any election this year.It

country would be in the Bankrupt Court.They are not paying rates.They are cutthroat rates.Previous ¢o 1583 we got a cent end a half per ton per mile.Now we get 14 cenl.Think of what that means.It means all the difference between working for a reasonable profit and working for no profit at all.\u2019 \u2018And who is primarily to diame for this state of things 7 \u2018The American roads, It principally occurs in the through rates between Chicago and New York.1 have been to both places repeatedly, and entered into agreements\u2014gentiemen's agreements \u2014with the American lines to work upon a reasonuhlé basis of profit.They were solemnly made, They were properly drawn out.But they ware not kept.Some one left the meeting and broke the agreement.They all had to follow suit, or there would be no business at all, You see the effect of all this upon the American roads.\u2019 \u2018Will there be no end to this distress- {fog state of things \u2018l am sure 1 do not know.The trouble with all these agreements te that in this country they are voluntary.They are only binding on one's honor.In England they are binding by act of Par- limnent, and you can sus the company which breaks the agreement entered into.That makes all the difference in the world.\" \u2018It bas been suggested that a Canadmn directorate would make somp easement of the situation T° Bir Henry laughed a little scornfully.\u2018Could a Canadian directorate make better rates?If so, thers might be soms reason in the stggestion.As that le Impossible it te quite abeurd A Canadian étrectorate might make some easement, as you cali it'\u2014here the À EST {MONTREAL WEEKLY witness, blue eye of the President mirrored the smile which ought Lo follow the utterance)\u2014\" e some easement for their friends.I do not say they would do it, but they might, you know.But what we want is Letter rates, and that the Canadian directorate could not provide.\u2019 \u2018Can there be any more saving made in the matter of the expenditure\u201d \u201cI do not think so, consistent with an efficient working of the road.We have pruned down everything that can be pruned.We have not a single useless officé or officer.And I will say, for our wtaft here, from the general manager down, that we have as honest, as hardworking a staff us any rallway corporation could wish to have \u2018Is there any serious dissatisfaction amongst your stockholders at the long waiting for dividends?\u2018Englishmen are reasonable beings.When you give an Englishman the facts he is satisfied.Our stockholders know that everything is being done that can be done to put the road on a paying basis.They know what we have to contend against.And they are content to hope for better results.\u2018 The level crossing question had to be discussed.\u2018l expected you would dring that up,\u2019 he sald, laughingly.\u2018I have nothing new to propose in relation to them.They are a nuisance.They are dangerous.They are expensive to maln- tain.We are desirous of getting rid of them.We have offered the city to capl- talize the amount of maintenance, and give it towards the bulilding of bridges.That {a fair.The city has made no move in the matter.We cannot undertake a work like that without the assistance of the city.\u2018Several shareholders who have been out here recently, expressed dlssatisfac- tion with the general offices being so far away from the city.\u2019 \u201cThere is nothing Mm that.\u2019 was the remark of Sir Henry, when tt was brought to his notice.\u2018We have had our offices én the city.We find our clerks do better work where they are.They are exposed to less temptations.Besides, you nave the telephone and an electric train service, and for the life of me I cannot see any hardship in the situation.\u2019 Sir Henry has frequently been before committees of the House of Commons touching the question of State ownership of rallways.State ownership of railways has been tried in Belgium, Germany.Australia and to some extent in Canada, with results in the letter case\u2019 (Sir Henry paus- mid) \u2018with which we are all fa- \u2018Ah, but what about that recent eur- plus, suddenly eftected by a change of Ministers \u201cHe, ha\u2019 (the President's laugh Wu as #004 as a beef and iron tonic).\u2018We all know how that is done.\u2019 \u2018But this is a difficult question to deal with.It is better for the State to own the railways than for the raflways to own the State.1 think there are certain portions of this continent where e way owns the State.Speaking of England, there was a time when, If the Staté had purchased the rallways the national debt could have been long ago paid off.But that opportunity is past.Think of the enormous increase in stocks and bonds, of the wonderfully increased valus of rallway corporations.That would make the question ox.aimost insuperable difficulty in Eng- It was, of course, impossible to avoid a reference to Home Rule.\u2018I see the Lords bave just rejected the bill by a tremendous majority,\u2019 Sir Henry observed.\u2018Is thers much anxiety amongst the monied classes and the corporations in England over the outcome of the measure ¥ \u2018There was at first, but when !t was seen that the overwhelming sentiment of England was against the measure, the financial stringency, the failing Australian banks and the crash of large houses filled the mind with a more immediate apprehension.\u2019 \u201cWhat will follow the rejection by the Lords \u2018An appeal to the country should !m- mediately follow, and that will give the quietus to Home Rule.Having regard to the smallness of his majority, to the numbers against the bill in the Lords, and to the unequivocal sentiment in England on the subject, Mr.Gladstone will surely, never have the assurance to proceed with other measures.As a matter of common honesty, he should now go to the country.If he does, there can be but one result, and that ia, his signal defeat.But Mr.Gladstone loves to stick to office, and it ts uncertain what he may do\u2019 Sir Henry took a trip on the Lake St.John Rallway.He expresses himself as delighted with the country.The soil is fertile, the climate lovely.and the prospect for the Grand Trunk making profitable connections excellent.Finally, Bir Henry expects a good deal from the splendid harvest.The president will proceed west in a few days to continue his inspection of the road.He will sil fdr home on September 2.\u2014\u2014\u2014 London, Sept.4.\u2014The Rome correspondent of the \u2018United Press\u2019 telegraphs

American College in Rome, started on Friday for America.Father Rooker will deliver these letters per- sonully to the Cardina! and to the Apos- toits delegnte It is vnderstood, says the correspondent,

is Most Alarming Berlin, Sept.11\u2014The condition of Prince Blamarck 1s such that those who are near him are seriously alarmed.Dr.Bohweninger has gone to Berlin to consult with eminent physicians thers on the advisability of removing the Prince to a milder climate, as it is be- Heved he could not stand the rigors of & northern winter.The Prince is confined to his bed and eo heipiess that he has to be fed by attendants, the sclati- ca having rewched bis arms, rendering them powerless.The slightest movement causes the most intense pain.The present condition of the Prince is dus to his exposure while receiving deputations out of doors, and contrary to the express commands of his physician.CANADA AND JAPAN, A PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH NEW TRADE RELATIONS BETWEEN THB TWO COUNTRIES.Toronto, Sept 11.\u2014A representative of the merchants of Japen named Saburobet Oku, vice-president of the Tokyo chamber of commerce, is here on a visit to Canada to see if a profitable trade can be introduced between the two countries.He visited the Government offices this morning.This afternoon he received the Toronto merchants at the Rossin House.He will be taken to the Guelph

had any trouble in persuading herself\u2014that zeal for rell- glous worship was the motive that impelled her to ride so far to church.Hut why, then, did she wish she had not come, when instead of the fine form and wavy locks of Brother Goudwin, she found in the pulpit only the located brother who was sup- piving his place in his absence at Kike's bedside ?Why did she not go on to the afternoon appointment as she had Intended © Certain it 18 that when Ann Kllza left that little log churech\u2014called Mount Tabor because it was built in & hollow, perhaps\u2014she felt unaceountably

It may be rather a surprise to dears that there are not à few people who deny the existence of a leopard.They call {t a panther, and profess not to know what js meant by a leopard.It is, bowever, desirable to consider their arguments respectfully, Horace wrote the line \u2018Diversum confusa genus pan- thera camelo,\u201d and to the best of my recollection thin is one of the earliest instances in which the animal is mentioned as a panther by & classic writer.Nut this Is not the whole of the case against the leopard.A friend of mine is the fortunate possessor of the large follo entitled \u2018Aron Noe,\u2019 written in mediaeval Latin by Dr.Athanasius Kir.cher, and published at Amsterdam A.D.16%.In this work, Dr.Kircher, who was a very learned man In his time, has given separate pictures of all the animals that went into the ark, and he has also presented to us the portraits of the animals that were not taken Into the ark.Amongst thess excluded animals he places the leopard, or leopar- dus.The reason given by him fs this\u2014 that the leopard is a hybrid animal, a compound of the lion and the pard or panther.Dr.Kircher's theory regarding the animal was undoubtedly in accordance with the general opinion of his time.Dr.John Anderson, one of our best, but mot best-known, naturalists, writes thus in & book published by him in 1883: \u2018The fells pardus, like the lion and tiger, was well-known to the ancients.who had a curious superstition regarding it, that rurvives more or less to the present day and gives rise to frequent discussions as to the supposed difference between the panther or pard and the leopard.It was thought not to be actually the same aol] as the panther or pard, but to be a mongrel or hybrid between the male pard and the lioness: hence it was called the lon-panther or leopar- dus.This error, as Archbishop Trench tells us, has lasted into modern times.Thus Fuller says.\u2018Leopards and mules are properly no creatures.\u2019 In reality, oy \u201c meant however, the names pard, panther, and lcopard have reference to one and the same animal\u2019 1 belleve that ali scien- tic uoologists are of the same opinion Dr.Anderson.rule a man does not go out leo.pard-shooting =a he goss out sanipe- shooting or tiger-shooting.Usually the news is brought by some excited and aftrighted native that a leopard has entered his premises and.after killing a child or a goat or a fowl, has hid fteelt in some shed of outhouse.On such an appeal it ls usual go out to try to kill that leopard.If a companion can be found, it is better for two men to go together than for one man to go alone with only native followers.Almost the first case that I remember to which we were called we found that the leopard waa ensconced in a mat-and-thatch cowshed, of waich the door had been closed on him.We rather rashly opened the door in order to peep ln.There was a rush and à souffle ns the leopard tore the door open wider and jumped out to 6s- cape We were lucky ln not being knocked down \u2018or even scratched.But the leopard did not get right away.It foolishly entered another shed.which was promptly closed on him, and we had to begin again.My companlon climbed en to the roof with hia gun, and an ae- tive native got up with him to tear open a hole in the thatoh of the roof, 1 stood on the ground with a clear space before me, in case the leopard should turn out fn my direction.The eager crowd of natives, who had come regardiess of danser, were induced to retire to a distance, whilst the most ulmble of them climbed up into trees or on to the roofs of the adjacent huts.It takes longer to write this than to give an idea of what actually happened.The native who was tearing a hole in the thatth of the shed had rashiy tried to look in to see where the leopard was.In & moment the leopard sprang at him, and its head appeared through the thatch, My companion put his gun to the beast'e head and sent a bullet through its brain, so that 1 dropped dead Into the hut.But thers wers loud cries from the native on the roof ; for the bullet, after passing through the leopard's skull, had grazed the man's body, so that he was bleeding rofusely and crying out that he was Enles- He was quickly brought down from the roof of the shed, and his wound wan washed and found to be little more than skin-deep.A present of à few ru- pass soon comforted him, and he came, not undeservedly, \u2018the hero of th Gay among his fellow villagers.The carcass of the leopard was slung from a bamboo And brought to aur house and the skin became the property of my companion.1 must tell one other tale of leopard- shooting.Not far from t tion caîl- od Bylliet, the Hille hills sovered with trees and shrubg afforded shelter to many leopards.We used to set i! traps to catch the leopards, Towa nightfall a live goat was put in the trap, and when a leopard erept into the trap to seize the goat the doers at each end of the trap dropped, 30 that when the 1 had done his cruel truiness with the mont he found he œuld nat got out.In the morning the aportemen of the station used to gn out to the trap with their guns and when the leopard Seprexsxs 13, 1898.was lot out they shot it =e it trisd to escape te the hills.One day & | in the trap deci o come out.My friend Mr.Levien, ail exceedingly active and nimble little man, went to the trap and got on the top of IL and tried to drive the leopard out, The leopard did at last come out but it quickly turned round and tried to jump on to the top of the trap to catch Levien.With marvellous quickness Le- vien popped off the trap and got inside and shut the door, so that the hunter became the hunted.The other sportsmen closed in and soon shot the leopard but any man less active than Le- vien might have beéen caught and mauled.\u2014_\u2014 UNHAPPY RUSSIA.(From \u2018Darkest Russia.) Summing up the facts, then, we flat that Russian finances are based exelu- sively upon the solvency of the agricultural population of the country; that these unfortunate people are hopelessly insolvent and are kept in a state of chronic starvation; that the corn indispensable to their existence 1s exported abroad; thst they live for helf the year in the open air, sleeping on the bare ground, and for the other half in hideous hovels; that they are obliged to sell their cattle and to burn the straw of thelr roofs in order to prolong this horrible life, and that they are physi.onlly degenerating and becoming unfit for manual 'abor; that the Government, instead of attempting to improve thelr miserable lot, blithely continues to augment ita budget in Inverse proportion to their insolvency, flogging them for arrears until they raise money at 6.000 percent .interest; that even under the moat favorable circumstances agriculture is absolutely unremunerative; that Russia does not produce a single grain of superfluous corn, and that mismanagement has brought about such an abnormal state of things in the empire that a wood harvest is more ruinous than a fallure of the crops.Lastly, that they who lend Russia money, in the teeth of thess indubitable facts, are not only making & financially unsound investment, but are rend themnelves morally responsible for the untold misery of one hundred millions of their fellowmen.\u2014\u2014\u2014 MR.GLADSTONE'8 ATTITUDB TOWARDS CANADA AKD CANADIAN INTERENTA.(\u2018Punch\u2019s\u2019 report of Parliament.) !

bevcnd, the spiky form of the lilac bush seem- od to burn with lambent greeh as it cast à broken shadow on the path.All this was in the picture; all this, if she could have known it, lay on the retina of the young man's memory long, long after it had passed from that of his eye.Star did not look up.She had no notion of the picture.All that she knew was that she felt ashamed of being thers until she could explain the necessity of her errand, and beyond that, If she had a thought, it was that her gown and bat were shabhy.Bo little we know She did, however, attend to the language of the footsteps, w that the Instant their owner came low enough to see her, they broke into à light run and Hubert Kent was at her side.He asksd after ber mother with some anxiety ;

this was the only note in it.I can't; said Star.\u2018But you are too kind.\" \u2018That is nonsense,\u2019 he sajd almost sharply.\u2018It's only you who are kind.I am asking a favor.I don\u2019t think you can afford it.\u2019 she said simply.\u2018You must not think that I would do what I cannot afford.Every man with any sense who expects to marry puts by something to spend as he likes then.It is for your mother's sake,\u2019 he urged aguin.\u2018She must havê medicine and the best food, and you cannot go to work this week and leave her.If you do not take this from me you must accept heip from some one.\u2019 Star thought of Bramwell, and supposed Hubert did also.In her perplexity she raised her eyes full to his for the first tme.\u2018Ought I to take it?His urgency became suddenly tim- 14.He seemed not only touched by the appeal, but surprised at his own emotion, \u201c \u2018You know ¢e> better what you ought to do than I can tell you,\u2019 he said.It seemed to take him some little time to regain the balance of his feelings.\u201cWill ft help you to think whether your seruple comes from a sense of duty, or from & oon- ventional rule which Joss not apply to us?He had always the newspaper's flow of phrases at command; in this case his words seemed to Star to show discrimination, In & moment she put out her hand for the note, which he had been nervously folding up into the smallest possible fold.\u2018Thank you,\u2019 was said in heartfelt tones, as the fingers of her worn ves had closed upon it, but it was e, not she, who said it, and before she could speak he was gone.Star tripped homeward with the note folded tightly in her palm.Her heart felt astonishingly light.She could not scold herself into any proper misery at what she termed her, degradation.He was kind\u2014'ewful- Lr kind,\u2019 so she phrased it to herself.He had left his breakfast; he had entered into her trouble and helped her: he had given her five pounds.Never mind! She would make ft up to him by being a thrifty wife, and she would always help him in his troubles, and would make him such nice breakfasts.Then she fell to wondering how he liked his coffee, and whether he would like American cake for breakfast.Star had but one iden of marriage.A long vista of cosy meals and cosier evenings, for which the wife provided all the pleasure.\u2018I can cook very well; thought Star, \u2018and I know I can make myself very delightful.\u2019 It was.no doubt, the present sunshine that helped to gild the future, but It was very pleasant to change the note for gold and \u2018Miver, and rashly spend a shilling on a pot of pansies, as well as get other neceu- saries, to take home with her.was also pieasant to be going home instead of to the shop.CHAPTER XIV.When Star opened their own @oor there was a bady crying inside\u2014cry- ing, nay, roaring.It was wrapped up ia an old gray shawl, and lay by her mother on the bed.There was no other stranger there.Richarda, raised on one pillow, looked excited.Her mother was feebly patting the baby with one hand.\u2018That dbeggwr woman has been her-* ~-\u20184 Richards, \u2018exceedingly drunk.She was evidently goin off on the spree for another *- und mother made her leave the baby\u2014it would have been killed else.She could not walk straight.\u2019 - \u2018I'4 rather have somebody else's baby killed than my mother made ill again,\u2019 sald Btar, spsaking the natu- THE MONTREAL WEEKLY WITNESS ral prompting of her heart; but thi sentiment so distressed and shocked her mother that she was obliged to retract it, She took the screaming bundle from the bed, and, looked round the room hopelesaly for a place to put it.\u2018I know it's adding to your burdens, daughter\u2019 the mother apolo- ized faintly, \u2018but I could not let her xo oul with it.She was reeling in this room, and going to reel into the next public-house.\u2019 Star held the baby at arm's length with a discomforted face; but even in that position the feeling of the Ilt- tie thing\u2019s helplessness won upon her.She moved it up and down as if testing its weight.\u2018It 1s fat.It might Just as well be a little squealing pis- gle, she sald; but, even as she spoke, she drew it involuntarily nearer her bosom.\u2018Oh, my love, don't speak so; it is wrong.\u201d The sick lady moved rest- leasly on her bed as she spoke.\u2018Well, well, mother\u2019 (good-natured- 1), \u2018anything for peace.Let us call it & squealing immorts] soul.\u2019 \u2018It cant be the soul that squeals, for feeding usually stops it,\u2019 suggested Richards.\u2018How 1 wish we had something to give tt\u201d said Mrs.Thompson, piteously.\u2018We never feel the want of milk 80 much as when that little hungry mouth comes to the door.\u2019 Then Star remembered her purchases on the way home.\u2018Somebody has provided milk, mother.\u2019 \u2018Who?\u2018Bomebody.\u2019 sald Ban significantly, \u2018who would be very kind, even to the beggar baby, if he were here.\u2019 There fell a silence in the room.It was the first time Star's strange lover had been famillarly spoken of in connection with their own affairs.The mother shrank back Within her welt.But Star's spirits were high: she could hope that to bring the baby and the milk together would be a powerful, if not logical, argument.\u2019 \u2018See how he takes It, mother! Poor little thing, it was hungry, then.The milk had been warmed, and the baby, unrolled from its shaw), lay on Star's lap.It gave a short cry yet between every spoonful, but these cries were becoming gradually more subdued.Star was seated in full view of her mother's bed that ber argument might have full force, \u2018It ia very rich milk\u2019 she remark- od: \u2018the baby likes it.There was no answer, It was thus that the young Bram- wel found them.Coming three steps into the room he stopped short in surprise.\u2018How! a babyy \u201cA very fine baby,\u2019 said Star, struck partly by the humor of the situation, but aiming to make light of her burden for her mother's sake.\u2018 Remarkably fine,\u2019 he sald, eyeing it with professional criticism.Then followed the little history of their acquaintance with the child\u2014 sll that the mother and Richards could tell about it, for Star knew nothing, and had nothing to say.When the baby\u2019s meal was finished and it grew still she almost forgot to notice what the others were say- Ing, and, so interesting was the crisis of her life, that, leaning hack in her chair, she fell into absence, with her eyes on the pot of pansies.The young man stood with his back to the window; they could not see the expression of his face, because the light was behind.Something fasct- nated him into forgetting his profes slonal haste.He seemed to show interest in the tale.\u2018We think the poor woman may perhaps be its grandmother,\u2019 Richarde was saying; \u2018and although she was so intoxicated to-day she was more communicative than before.She told us\u2014but she charged us not to tell.Ought one to respect a drunken confidence?\u2018Oh, I should think there is no ne- osssity.He spoke in his cheerful, encouraging way; but If he was interested in the beggar's confidence, he was glancing at Star.He was also wondering what meant the dream that lay visibly in her eyes.\u2018Whence had the flowers come?\u2018\u201c\u2019Bhe said that she was married to & real rich gentleman, but that he had deserted her, and she had not seen him for years.She declared that he lives here now, in the parade.Do you think that can possibly be true?\u2018A falsehood, no doubt,\u2019 he replied, ly.\u2018Very likely she is slandering some one who has tried to befriend her.That is the way with these beg- ° \u2018It fa a dear child\u2019 sald Mrs.Thompson wistfully.\u2018Can nothing be done to save it from ruin?\u2019 \u201cThat is a very difficult question, Mrs.Thompson,\u2019 replied the young man with en mportant air.\u2018My father has always devoted a part of his time to charitable work, and now, in his old axe.he Ww inclinnd to think he has done as much harm as good.I don\u2019t agree with him.I think all that sort of thing must be purely good ; it must tell in the long run.Much oan be done for people in their own homes and otherwise.The town is pretty well off for Institutions, although we must enlarge some of them.This child, for instance, can xo to the Infants\u2019 Home, and then, if the woman does not claim it, to the Orphanage.His young energy of benevolence would have enlisted their sympathy more if they had not had an awkward consciousness that they, too, were objects of that activity about which the father felt so hopeless and he so hopeful.T always think à baby must be lost in an institution\u2019 ed Mrs disposing of Richarda\u2019s question ess- | Thompson.\u2018Among so many whom have they to love them?They live on love,\u2019 | \u2018Oh, I regret to say,\u2019 he laughed, \u2018that they Hve on milk.The milk {bil at that Home is something enor- | mous, I wish they did live on love; it could be gnt cheaper.\u201d ¥ie spoke jconfidently, as if from a larger know- {lodge of the question than she could pousess.\u2018I agree with you, however, so far\u2019 he added, \u2018that 1 believe that in dealing «+h adult wretches like this drunken woman one must try to show personal aym- pathy.There Is no use trying to put them through a mill.I think that is just where my father and men of his generation failed ; they were too afraid of coming into close personal sympathy.Personat contact ia needed.Don't you think so, Mrs.Thompson ?Whatever she thought she did not say.She was hardly prepared to follow his energetic conversation ; but his appeal to her as one interested with him In work for others soothed the feeling of ruffled pride that had come to her daughters at his first mention of charity.Star had been roused ; she lifted her eyes toward him now with & kindlier look than he had yet seen.It was time for him to go; he was not entirely conscious why he remained.He gave it out, on hls authority as a doctor, that the baby must not remain thers.As there was prospect that the woman would not be fit to care for it for some days, he promised to try to send some one for it from the Home he had mentioned.Even then he did not go.\"Have you heard,\u2019 he asked Star, \u2018the extraordinary sequel to the story of the dog 7\" No; Star had not read the morning papers.Her eyes brightened now with curiosity, and he, In return, told the story well.\u2018You know, I suppose, that Mr.Allan, who lives in that house, is the | mayor.lt seems there was an odd bequest made lately which provided that he should give a certain sum in gold to the people in the county alms-houses.He had arranged to do it yesterday, and had two hundred pounds in gold sovereigns and half- sovereigns in the house on Saturday night, and it was stolen.\u2019 \u2018Dear me said Star, because she must say something.\"Who took it ?\u2018That is just what the police would give a good deal to know.It is the last house burglars would want to attempt, for there were four able- bodied men in it and a large dog: but, of course, while they were ail engaged with the dog-fight in the basement, the thief, if he came in with the strange dog, could go up fed find the money and walk quietly out at ome of the upper doors.1f tBat's what he did it was a tremendously clever trick.\u201d \u2018I saw a policeman near the place,\u2019 said Star.\u201cYes, one came on the scene when the dogs were fighting, and jumped in at the window.He hélped to separate them.He saw no one who looked suspicious.He saw the lamplighter, just as you did ; and he has been questioned since, but he can tell nothing.It seems he is a half-witted creature, does his work mechanically, and doesn't know one day from another.\u201d They ali said it was very strange and a great pity.Bramwell had grown interested in his recital and made further remarks.\u2018Coin }\u2014a thief who gets coin and leaves no trace behind him is as safe 188 & gentleman.\u2019 Mrs Thompson was chiefly anxious to know that the poor pensioners had not lost their dole, and relieved to hear that Mr.Allan would make good the money.: Bramwell then went away.His call had not been long : all that could be said of it was that it might have been shorter.He left them with a cheerful feeling that they had been in interesting contact with the world outside.\u2018Upon my word,\u2019 eaid Richards, \u2018he is & most benevolent young man; but as his father before him took to visiting the poor, I suppose he was born with his band in\u2019 \u201cIt is the fashion now,\u2019 sald Star.There was the slightest scorn in the word.Star mused, and was vexed with the perversity of circumstances.Why should this young man wax | friendly just when she had risked so much to obtain another friend ?And yet what mattered it?The few visits the doctor would pay while her mother must remain in bed offered no real help.It is not those thinge which we can reasonably say are m- portant which vex most, yet perhaps their importance is known in some unreasoning stratum of mind.8tar trotted the baby, and played with it.A baby is a pretty plaything.Before Richards had ceased her lively comments on the doctor, certainly before Bramwell could have had time to send his messenger, a knock came to the door, and a man, in the apparent haste of anxiety, opened it and looked round.His eye fell on the baby with great relief.\u2018You are very kind to have kept it.\u2019 he sald, as Star ross with the child in her arms.He wag a middle-aged man, and he held out stout hands, and took the child without awkwardness.\u2018I will take your burden from you,\u2019 he maid.He did not seem to move very quickly, alt he acted without lose of time.ey noticed that he looked at snd seemed to observe them all in a very kindly way, to bestow À | on each of them the sort of apology and greeting that can be conveyed In à look.\u2018They thought he was going to speak, but he took the child and was gone, Star standing the while surprised and irregolute.She felt that she had lost a toy that was pleasant to hold, that she had no right to keep.Her mother and Richards were both speaking.Who was the man ?Where had he taken the child?Why had she given it ?Star ran into the street, only to see & cab driving away.Some children told her that \u2018the gentleman\u2019 had sot into it.Bhe could only return to wonder with the others at her own precipitation, to surmise with her mother that a respectable-looking, middle.aged man was not likely to have a sinister motive in wanting & beggars baby, while she also agreed with Richarda that the Incident was strange and romantic.But her own life was too strange to her just then to follow the lost child with many thoughts.Richarda, indeed, had food for con.Jecture to à very unusual extent.\u201cOnly a few days ago,\u2019 she sald, \u2018life seemed intolerably dull, and now I can't get enough time to form opinions about the things that occur.\u2019 icharda, llke most people, thought it important to form opinions.CHAPTER XV, Marian Gower spent the afternoon of the preceding Saturday In the dingy Board Bchool, familiarly known «s \u2018Babbits\u2019 which stood, on the other side of the «lms, opposite the entrance of the old church.In the large room of this bullding there had been a winter series of entertainments, on the broad basis of general culture, given to the scholars and their parents.Miss Gower was on the committee of arrangement.She considered it & good work, and 80, perhaps, it was.This aftérnoon gathering was the closing meeting of the series for that winter, and it had been distinguished by the extra festivity of buns \u2018and tea.The audience were at last seated to enjoy what they were told was « feast of a higher sort ; and Marian, weary with helping tea, stood at one side and leaned against the wall, The place was full ; rough men, who, like her, could not find seats, stood in front and overshadowed her.It was a fairly large hall for such A place, but bare and dingy.The floor was filled with sitting people.Round three sides of the lofty walls a little iron gallery ran.on which the schoolboys stood.For economy of space there was an open circular stale of fron twisting up from one corner of the platform to the gallery.On this also little boys sat and stood; some were ruddy and impish ; some were fat and dull ; some had white, pathetic faces, as though they had been brought into the world to suffer in explation of some one\u2019s sin.They were never quite still\u2014not when prayer was read or music played ; there was a rustling and a shuffling among them all the time, sometimes the sharp sound of a kick or an hysterical snigger.The hall was lit by high windows on the outer side, through which, looking up, one might see the mossy arms of the budding eims, the church tower, and the moving April clouds.Marian leaned by the wall that was opposite the windows.That which she saw beyond them\u2014the swinging censer of white cloud, the wind in giant branches, the perfect art of the anclent tower\u2014 that, in contrast to the lll-ventilated room, the buns and tea, seemed strangely of a plece with the high beauty of ides and fancy which she and her fellows were trying to bring down to the rough throng.If beauty could elevate, was it not there for them any and every day ?She did not pursue the thought; to tired senses thoughts are vague.There was music.A young girl, who looked as if she had always lived tn such surroundings as are seen in the portraits of young girls In pio- ture galleries, played on a violin.She looked a picture, even there, standing on the dust-colored platform, and when one looked away from her there was music in the air, as ic a pure spirit had somehow got entangled In the close materiai atmosphere, and was wailing, entreating, coaxing even with smiles, for its whilom freedom.Even the little boys climbing on the twisted stair\u2014even the ruddy and impish ones\u2014looked different for the moment, less tricksy, more earnest, while they heard the wordless song that was about them everywhere.Over the attitudes of the older people there came & perceptible relaxation ; the tired workers could rest now without fesling thelr fatigue, while the fat mayor, who sat on the platform, and had been croes @ minute before at the giggling of the boys, looked for the nonce as if in fancy he were sipping good wine or talking to a pretty woman.When the music stopped the mayor made a speech.He explained to the pupils what exceeding good fortune was theirs to have been born in that nick of time and apace when and where so many idvantages were bestowed upon them.He as serted that by this happy chance they were being made into much ncbler creatures than they weuld otherwise have been.He explained to the parents that the town in which they lived was most advano- ed in the art of raising its poor, a tact of which these periodical gatherings were abundant proof.Then, with out explanation of what it was to be raised or made 8 much nobler cree- ture, be slid into compliment to the indies and gentlemen who, with in- defatigable labor end * senerosity,\u2019 had combined to aid in this apecial work.Marian did not feel complimented.She winced a little for the self-re- spect of some manly fellows whe stood near her; but ihey seemed pleased with the speech, so perhaps she was too sensitive for them.After that a young medical man called Bramwell read a selection from one of the simpler poets.Marian knew Bramwell slightly in his capacity as a doctor ; she knew him to be zealous In good works.The girl who had played the violin was his cousin ; it was no matter for remark that he should read a poem next.Yet she did notice him now as she had never done before.Re read well, be looked well\u2014very well\u2014as he stood at the side of the platform with the open staircase full of boyish faces just above his head.He was a beautiful, mafestic-looking man, in the full vigor of youth, and he read rhythmic verses about courage, honor and love in heartfelt tones, Marian moved her feet, slightly changing her position.Weariness and close air made her thought grow dim.Upon the high windows in the opposite wall the shadow of the knotted branches fell suddenly clear, for above them the fleece of April sky had parted so as to let the sunshine fall, pale, but glad.It seemed fitting that it should fall in a long, dusty shaft upon the young man.as hs read 50 strongly of the most beautiful things of earth: but above him, the fidgeting, giggling boys on the stair and gallery were ntill in shadow.Marian fell to wondering whether, by help and effort, they could ever come out of their shade into his light.Again she shifted her feet ; hier wonder grew less clear, her eyes closed to shut out the light ; then suddenly, by one of those tricks which tired nerves sometimes play, the young doctor's face started again into her vision against the reddisi blank which closed eyclids creaie.\u2018It was there only a moment ; she wondered at it only a moment longer.Had his face really made more impression on her than all things else that she had teen looking at?She scorned the ides.Marian did not like men, Behind the seals Mt the back of the room was gathered a little crowd of some twenty people, who seemed to have looked In from mere curiosity.Marian turned, with some interest, to see who were there.She noticed one or two clergymen.In front was & young man writing In a note-book, presumably for The benefit of some newspaper.She was rather .ourt- sighted, she did not see these people clearly ; but, as she was looking, her attention was called to & face in the corner furthest back of all.It struck her as an odd face, noticeable among its dark surroundings for the very light hair that framed it, noticeable, also, because its owner seemed to be standing on tip-toe in a very strained position.It was 80 odd that Marian moved a step that way, ard, being still obscured by her reighbors so that she did not dream of bel=g seen, put up her glasses and looked hard : but zhe did not eee more, for just then the head went down suddenly, and there was a noise in that part, as of some one stumbling forward.The reading was finished, and there was appiause.Then came mort music.Marian, feeling that her part of the work was finished, siipped through a side door and went cut \u2018mn the spring winds.She did not know that before ahe went out there was a little disturbance at the back of the hall.The tall, tow-headed man, who had ac tually been standing on tip-toe, lost balance and came forward on those in front of him.It is not quite fair, in a crowd, that one man should stand on his toes and then fall upon his fellows.They evidently knew him, and showed temper.\u2018* Look out, Tod,\u2019 said one.\u2018Take care, Tod, said another.The young reporter looked up from his notes and stepped back to the offender's side.\u2018What are you doing, Tod ?* he asked.with the air of a mentor.\u2018 I~I\u2014T fell, Kent.\u2019 Kent did not know that his friend had been standing on his toes, but he did not look vastly surprised that he should fall, even when standing on level floor ; his face said as much.He did not waste another glance or word, but went on with his scrib- dling.(To be continued.) \u2014\u2014 CIVILIZATION IN NEW YORK A large new school-house was dullt tn Brooklyn, N.Y., a year ago, and, after « long discussion, Ît was decided by the school committee that a colored school and a white school should be consoll-

are four of the colored teachers retained, teaching white children as well as colored.The mhfidren recite together and play together and the colored ehil- dren gct their share of the honors.The public

Canada has been animated by the spirit of competition more keenly, perhaps than any other nation represented at Jackson Park.She hns given special attention to the display of her agricultural products upon which she prides hersell most.She has not negiected, either, the tres- pures hidden beneath ber broad domain, as can be seen in the Mining Building.The same consclentious endeavor to do herself

Manufactures Buliding.The section is on the west side of Columbia avenue, with Great Dritaln on her north, Denmark on the south, and Belglum on the east across the avenue.Every foot of 16,000 square feet of space is crowded with manufactured goods from all parts of Canada, There are a great many lines of manufactured products in the Canadian court which will compare favorably with those of the older, more populous and more pretentious manufacturing countries.The cotton king has been at work in the Dominion, and in two long.well-finisncd ative wood cases are most tastefully arranged many of the products of the Canadian cotton mills.Cotton fabrics of all kinds are shown.and textile goods occupy a prominent place.Tweeds, mel- | tons, braids.silk thread and carpets are also extensively

in this department Canada in surpassed.A creditable dix- play of boots and shoes occuples a prominent position.INDIAN EXHIBITS BY INDIANA.At the west side of Canada's space is a very interesting and instructive exhibit made by the Department of dn- alan Affairs at Ottawa.Here, with the teachers, are a number of Indian boys and girls from the Government Indian Schools In the distant North-West of Canada, There young people dally pursue their routine work just as If they were at hom+ In \u2018helr schools.All around are the products of the civilized Indian\u2014groin that he has sown.tilled and harvested, flour that he has ground, roots and vesxetables that he has planted and eared for, manufactured goods of many kinds that he has skilfully put together ard sampler of the work of the school

gallery, Canadian flags and bunt- Ing give à gala day appearance to this most interesting section.Upon entering the larga central court the viaitor la feumediately interested by the great pyramids of gold blocks representing the yield of that precious metal throughout Canada since it was first discovered In the far western province of Trlt!xh Columbia.The total yield of wold from British Columbia alone is \u20acs- tiniated at something over $63,000,000, while across the continent the surf- benten Province of Nova Scotia on the Atlantic has produced from her gold deposits mince 1564 over 37.60.00.In her banner Province of Ontario extensive deposits of gold quarts are being work- od, largely by American capitalists, and hare the output is estimated at nearly $1,000,000 annually.COAL AND ORR RANPLES.The samples of coal from British Cal- umbia show the excellent quality, both anthracite and bituminous, of the Inexhaustible coal fields of the Pacific Province, Diack diamonds are also taken out in large quantities in the Province of Nova Scotia, and the spursely wooded and illimitable areas of farming land in the great North-West of the Doniln- fon have a plentiful supply of excellent wil.The Province of Nova Scotia makes a poor show of coal samples de- spita the fact that she hax some of the greatest coal areas on the Continent.The showing of nickel and nicke! die from the Sudbury district of Ontario is one which has altracted universal atten- tlon, not onty of mininæ experts but of naval officers.The quallty of thene ores can beat be indicated by the result of the recent teats made by the naval deo partmen:s of Grees Britain, France, Germany and the United Staten.in which Canadian nickel was found to have the prextvst power of realstance, and was by ail means the most suita- Ule for the purpose of making armor platen far improved war vessels, \u201cThe display which Canada makes in the Hortlculturul Buftding 18 one of the moet important and attractive in that department of the Frir.There are three Canadian courts devoted to fruit, vegetabley and wine exhibits.An Inter- estiig fenture of this splendid display of fruit in that Cunads not only excels in the variety and quality of the harder fruits peculiar to a northern country hut Ver pears, peaches und the small fruits from Western Ontarlo are of that firm, juicy character which at once places them in the first grads of fine fruits, Althourh the destruction of the cold storage warchouse has greatly impaired the exhibit Canada had in fruits of last year, even yet her dishlay is the largest xhown by any singe state or foreign country and occuples about one- sixth of tha entire fruit space.Canada jost through the fire all the fresh fruit which was stored for examination by the jurors of awards.\u2018The Frovince of Untarlo has a large exhibit of over five hundred plates, em- tracing thirty-eight varieties of apples In a fresh stats and 1) bottles of \\nrlous kinds of preserved fruits.In the centre of the court is a display of fruits frem the Government Central Ex- perimentel Furm at Ottawa.The Pro- vines of Quehe: has been more successful than any of the other provinces in keeping up a display of fresh winter apples, of which there are ov:r seventy varieties, Nova Scotin\u2019s Wlsplay of the different varieties of apples from the famous Annapolis valley {is heyond sriticism.The exhibit from British Co- lumbix attracts much attention because of the immense size of the apples and peurs.Thera Is also a æreat variety of the smuller fruits.Prince dward Island, the North-West Territor:es ans Manitoba have all creditable dispinys of the emaller fruits.In the vegetnble court in the north pavilion is a display «of last year's vegetables, contributed hy all the Canadian provinces and the Government Experimental Farma of the Deminfon, This is the only exhibit of vegetables In the Department of Horticulture at the Exposition.IN THE TRANSPORTATION BUILDING.Canada\u2019s exhibit in Machinery Hall is located ut the east end of the centre floor, iminediately opposite that of Great Liritain.While this exhibit has many features of pecullar inter:st {0 visitors, many Important lines are absent, and a number of the largest manufacturers are not represented at all.There is a good élrplay of automatic and \u2018raction en- ines, compound marine engines, steam injectors and exhausters, high speed engines, fire engines, water wheels and working machinery of all descriptions.The display of woodworking machinery is one of the finest it the fair The exhibit of brickmaking inachines has attracted special attention.The Canadian exhibit in Transportation Building is on the main centre floor annex and In the west gallery.A fea ture of the exhibit consists of car couplers and chilled car wheels, for which Canada 1s noted.There are also semaphores and headlights for yachts anid vessels.Particular interest manifested in the splendid exhibit of sleighs.In one of the courts in a beau- tity] model of the sleigh presented by the women of Canada as a wedding present to the Duke of York and the Princess May.It is a magnificent specimen of Canadian workmanship.The display also includes a large exhibit of sporting and pleasure canoes, folding boats, snowshoes, toboggans, ete, for which Canada, as the home of the sportsman, has a world-wide reputation.In the annex of the Transportation Byllding is a full standard vestibuled train of the Canadian Pacific Rallway, entirely of Canadian manufacture, the cars being made from native Canadian woods, One pe.cullarity about this exhibit is that the train was not built for exhibition purposes, hut in an exact type of the regular trains on the Canadian Pacific Rel- way.WONDERFUL WOOD DISPLAYS, In the Tocstry Bullding Canada occupies 0,000 square fect, situntel on the main aisle and south of the central exhibit.The space is divided between the provinces of Outarlo, Quebec, British Columbia and the North-West \u2018Territories.The Dominlon has a large collection of photographs of living trees, contributed by the gesloglcal survey tonreum at Ottawa, The photographs nre shown in frames made of the wood repretented in the picture.The forest resources nf Ontario\u2014its commercial timber, or fir woods\u2014are especially interesting to practical lumbermen, bulld- ers, wood and

the Chicago Board of Trade, has probably ended his career as a speculator forever.Over two years ago he failed, and since then has not figured \u2018on \u2018Change\u2019 to any great extent.He has now sold his certificate of membership on the Noard, and this may be called the last \u2018act of his epeculative career.Only twice siice he returned from New York has he appeared on the floor of the Exchange.When the Cudahy-Fairbank- Wright deal collapsed the old man was an inlerested apecta- tor.A few days ago he made a deal in wheat.He gol on the wrong side of the market, and there were calls for margins.To meet them he was obliged to all his ecertificute of membership for about $900.Jt was bought by Armour & Co.for one of their employees of the firm.With the money thus obtained, the once great plunger made his margins good.But it took the last of his collateral to do fit.Five ycars ago Mr, Hutchinson was reported to be worth anywhere from £.000,000 to $10.000.000\u2014all made in speculation.He has always been peculiar in his habits and spent most of his time when not on the floor of the Exchange in a small room on the upper floor of the Board of Trade bullding.Here he slept und cooked his meals.After he returned from New York he resumed this life instead of going to the beautiful residence of his son, Charles L.Hutchinson, down on Prairie avenue, where he might have been comfortable.Why he chooses to live apart from his family is a secret known only to those most interested.Both Mr.Hutchinson and his son refuse to discuss the question.Young Mr, Hutchinson is too busy with his duties as President of the Corn Exchange Bank, as recelver for Cuda- hy, and in wany other ways to have viuch time for the discussion of such questions, anyway, even if he were so inclined.He Is of a different stamp from his father.He does not speculate He saves.The consequenc& fa that, while his father had te sell his Board of Trade membership to GLelp out in a picayune deal, young Mutc| son is investing in xood-paying proi tien \u2018It was said at the time \u2018of old speculator's failure, Apri} 28 I that his son received the news calmly, because he had never approved of spso- ulation as a means of iivelihéod.The deal which brought ruin was one ini which Mr.Hutchinson had a line \u2018of 2,500,000 of 3,000,000 bushels of July com bought up to & cents.A portion of this was closed out at & cents.When the crash came the old gentleman was too much broken down In Fpirit to face the inevitable.He boarded a train and went down into Indiana, and did not return for five days During that time all his trades were closed out and differences amounting to $100,000 were made good by his son.Since Jan, 1, 1591, \u2018Old Hutch\u2019 had lost $1,020,000 or $2,000,000, all that was left of his large fortune.When he came back he was cordially received, but he felt the difference between being the greatest plunger on the board and being a ruined man too keenly to stay here.He went to New York, where his career is well known.Hut he was not satisfled there.And when he came back here he was not satin.fied with the experience he had gained in former years on the board.He felt the old desire to speculate.He did, and lost the rght to do so on the floor hereafter.Nowadays he may .be seen around the haunts of the hangers-on of the Board of Trade men, talking with the \u2018pikers.\u2019 He might look with pride on hix son, who is a member of the Union Leuçue and Commercial Clubs, a plllar In the Unitarian Church, Prest- dent of the Art Institute, and identified with many public movements.But he would not be \u2018Old Hutch\u2019 If he cared for anvthine except a ticker.Mr.Hutchinson 18 a New England Yankee, He was born\u2018 fn Lynn, Maes., As he had to work for a llving while he was still young, it ls not remarkable that he should have learned to make shoes.Many a Lynn boy has done that \u2014in fact, it Is but a email percentage of Lynn boys which does not find its way to the shoe shops.Mr.Hutchinson didn\u2019t come straight to Chicago from a shoe bench.He had first to engage in the dry goods business, He made money for a time, but in the financial troubles of 1857 he met disaster.He owed 375,000 when hé turned his back on New England and started for Chicago.His creditors did not expect to recelve a cent from him.They were inclined to belleve that the failure had been a dishonest one.It was thelr understanding that Mr.Hutoh- inson had saved enough out of the wreck to give him a good start in the West.Bo he had; but contrary to the belief of those whom he owed, it was his purpose to use this money as a mulliplicand for their benefit.They found It ont in two years when they received cheques for what was due them with the interest.Mr.Hutchinson made money in Chicago from the start.He laid the foundation of his fortune in the war times, buying and selling pork and cereals.Until he made himpelf famous by cornering September wheat in 1888 he was not given to big deals.He was a nealper, He traded on fluctuations of an eighth of & cent, and even a sixteenth.Quick sales and small profits suited him.He was \u2018in\u2019 and out again a dogen times « day.His great fortune was the atm of Innumerable little profits in Board of Trade transactions, supplemented by re- atively small gains in real estate deals.He would buy a house for §I00.008 one day and sell it nert at 8101.00.He never regarded any transaction as the last ; he should en fn: it was not in ge- caniange with business (dens to hang on and on, waiting for the uf t Hmit of profit.In course of time he came to be the autocrat of the pit.His favorite way of trading was to pass his card about with the remark: © \u2018Here, boys, put down what you want to buy or seil, and I'll accommodate you.\u2019 ite was neither bull nor bear.H was \u2018Old Hutch,\u2019 always ready to mal a dollar or two, caring nothing whether he should make it by \u2018bulge\u2019 or by slump.\u2019 He had great days in which his profits were enormous, but it frequently happened that when night came he found, after ciphering out his deals for the day, that he had cleared as little as On such occasions he would laugh at himself, though he would always wind up with the remark, \u2018Weil, Fm that much ahead.\u2019 He was a phenomenally secretive man.Nobody knows how much has done tn charity and helping friends who have come to grief.Ones he gave unlimited credit to & young trader who was (n danger of going to the wall, and & week later and forever after declined to speak to the young man because he had permitted the atory of the good deed to get abroad.The general belief In Chicago fa that \u2018Old Hutch\u2019 has navel many a man from ruin Mr.Hutchinson, sn tt fs sald, used to be able to appreciate n good article of whiskey and occasionally drank enough to fee) it.Qne night.as the story runs, after he had been enjoying his favorite tipple he pald a vialt to à carpet store in which he had an Interest.The store wan closed but he had a key.After rummaging about for a white, ho caught sieht of a beautiful couch in the window, the centre plece of an aggregation of handsome things designed to suxxwest how a parlor should be furnished.Upon thin couch \u2018Old Hutch' stretched himpelf and there he lay when morning came sleeping the sleep of the \u2018Jagged.\u2019 Hundreds stopped on thelr ways to shop and foctory to take à view of him.The sympathy of the people of Cht- cagn runs out ta \u2018Old Hutch\u2019 in à gen- eroun stream.Everybody feeln that It ix hard that a man who has been worth $10.000.000 should in his old age have left of it nothing at all.\u2014\u2014\u2014 SHOULD HE LEAVE THE CHURCH?The somewhat frequent recurrence of heresy trials has reopened a nice question of denominational ethics.Briefly stated tt is this: When a minister of sny religious body finds himself out of harmony with one or more of the leading doctrines of his Church, should he sever his relation to the denomination or may he remain in the enjoyment of its fellow- sh'p, continuing to preach what he belleves to be the truth until the Church Itself deposes him from bis position of trust ?The popular answer is that as an honest mon but cité couss of conduct is open to him.Unable longer to preach the doctrines of the Church as contalaed in the , subordinate standards to which he mibmitted at the time of his oral- nation, he should hand in his parchments and find a field of toil else where.To stand in the pulpit cr sit in the theological chair of any reli- glous body, receiving financial recompense for his work, and at the same time to oppose any of its dogmas, either by silence or direct speech, is to play an unmanly part.What would be thought, it Is asked, of the advocate who accepted the brief of one of the parties to a legal action and who let himself to the overthrow of the interests he was pledged to defend ?What commercial traveller receiving the wages of one firm and at the same time offering the goods of a rival establishment to his customers would dare to show his face in commercial circles * How much less excuse is there for the msn who has given his sacred word to defend certain ecclesiastical dogmas, and who, while claiming all the privileges of his Church relations, teaches what is opposed to the views to which he freely committed himself?Having voluntarily sought fnembership in a soclety which Imposed given conditions of membership upon him, he should not remain in it any longer than he finds himself able to conform to its laws.It is unfair and unkind to compel the Church to issue a writ of cjectment ; be should, of his own will, depart through the open door by means of which he found access to the fold.It is quite probable that this view of the case 1s the one which will commend itself to the vast majority of persons who give the matter the honor of their consideration, The no- lution is 80 simple and easy that itis at once accepted by most men as correct.But there i= a minority opinion, which finds its advocates in the Church chiefly, perhaps, amongst the heretics themselves and their friends.I shill seek briefly to set forth the line of argument, as 1 understand ft, by which it is sought to justify the conduct of those who, conscious of departute from orthodoxy as defined by the subordinate standards of thelr denomination, still refuse to brand themselves as heretics and unworthy of oontinued fellowship with their brethren.The first link in the obain of argument is derived from the example.of notable heretics of the past, Attention is directed to the example of our blessed Lord, who, & Jew, knowing that the wucoess of his kingdom meant the final overthrow of Judaism, remained in the Church in which he was born until the rulers of the Church themselves thrust Him forth.If protest is entered agalust this example on the ground that Christ's life and work are so unique that in this particular they not be quoted, then the case of Paul + urged.Paul not only remained in the Jewish Church, but thought it no breach of privilege, no unworthy or ungentlemanly thing to do, to make use of Jewish synagogues as places for the preaching of Christ crucified.Coming to later times, we are reminded that Luther permitted himself to be excommunicated ; that Wesley did not leave the Church of England, and that the greatest reformers whose names we honor to-day wers, many of them, men who were regarded by their religious superiors and contemporaries with the most pronounced suspicion.Further, it 1s urged that nearly all, In fact every advance in dootrine and ecclesiastical reform has been secured through the persistent proclamation of heretical and unpopular views within the denominations themselves, by men who, if the popular opinion Is correct, should have left their religious bodies upon the first dawn of thelr conscious variance with the traditions received from their fathers, may Advocates of the less popular view urge, moreover, that the adoption of the policy of withdrawal before the Church has demanded this at thelr hands is unworthy of and contrary to the highest interests of true Protestantism.It is & tacit acceptance of the view of Catholicism which makes the Church the final seat of authority in religion.If the standards of the Church are never to be revised, if they are to be taken a» the final word on the subjects of which they theat, then ene of the most glorious conss- quences of the Reformation ls lost.But this the very \u2018standards\u2019 of Protestant churches deny.The standards describe themselves as \u2018subordinate\u2019 Subordinate to what ?Why, thé Bible itself.-Now the dillgent student, who in the course of bis patient investigation and wise meditation discovers what he conceives to be lack of harmony between the Bbile and the \u2018articles\u2019 of the Church, is compelled by his loyalty to truth and to the vows of his ordination to direct attention to these differences.If the Church teaches in its articles what the Bible does not teach, if it requires men to belleve or to do what the Bible does not impose as & rule of faith or practice, if it omits to teach truth upon which the Bible insists, then the man who feels hs has detected the Church in error must call attention to his discovery.It may be valueless.It may be valuable.But he cannot expect that, in either case, the discovery will be balled with delight.But the supposed truth must be taught until the Church by some authoritative action either accepts the new view or rejects it, proving it falsehood, requiring the agitator of the new dogma or the opposer of the old doctrine to keep silence, to recant, or to go outside the fold to proclaim what he deems of such importance.It is not enough to show that à man believes what i» contrary to the Church's standards to brand him as a heretic.It must be proved that the standards are themselves in sccordance with Scripture.Now, for a man, who, by scholarly research and hongst inquiry, has, as he belleves, discovered a discrepancy between the Bible and reason on one hand and the articles to which he sudb- scribed at his ordination on the other, at once to retire from the ministry of the Church may be a very simple course to take.But it is a course which, It universally adopted, would effectually bar the way to progress in theology and drive out of the Church many honest thinkers and profound scholars.The Church acts quite within its rights when it refuses to permit its pulpits or theological col- feges to be used to propagate particular doctrines which it esteems err neous.But until it does so refuse, men who desire to bring the Bible, the higher standard, and the dogma, the subordinste standard, into harmony, belleve that they are doing a righteous thing in directing attention to the absence of harmony from the vantage ground of thelr connection with the Church.ARMINIUS, Szrrexser 13, 1809, READABLE PARAGRAPHE A PERSISTENT COUNSEL.Mr.Oswald bas the reputation of belag the « hardest fighter\u2019 at the bar.Various

THE NEW HEBRIDES.\u2018You want to know more about the slave traffic\u2019 sald Dr.Paton to our correspondent, \u2018It is simply terrible.Tou oan have no conception of it here.\u2019 Wiis In brief is the story: It was started you know in Queensland.In 108 a Royal Commission reported upon it, \u2018regulations\u2019 were placed on it, and since then it is contended by (ts friends that all the abuses have been corrected and that it 1s now no longer a slave trade but a genuine labor traffic.But i Is still nothing but slavery and in many cases worse.The sugar planters want hands to work their plantations.Ships are sent out to these islands snl \u2018 with whiskey, all sorts of fair promises, and force when all other means fall, CANGORS OF THESR UNFORTUNATES are carried away to slavery and an early death.At the close of 180 the traffic was suppressed in Queensland, chiefly through the influence of Sir Samuel Griffith, the Premier of that colony.The law did not come into fect until the first day of 181.so they made all speed, put on all the extra vessels they could find, and continued to bring in their recruits until far into tal.About the beginning of last year, (33, Bir Samuel Griffith suddenly an- bounced his conversion to the cause he had He urged that the plantations were being ruined for the want of labor, and that the traffic must be tesumed.Dr.Paton te to him re- equng with Bim, but !t was no .Dr.Paton cannot tes how the slosing jof the traffic can account fer the decline of the sugar industry in Queensland, as it is only a few months tince the planters ceased to get additional labor and there are thousands of the Polynesians now working there.THR CHIEF EVILS » the trafic, he points out, are the frightful Immoralities of which In print 10 adequate description can be given.No decent company,\u2019 he says, \u2018would stand to read or hear one haif of what {have seen.\u2019 Then there is the old story % drink, which works among them as it Loes everywhere else.The law forbids 4, ye they get it.One planter told him that he dreaded the Sabbath, for with the drink and extra leisure on that day the \u2018time was spent in fighting and he toulé hardly ki them from burning their houses and bis own.They are id only fourpence a day, if they live get it, for work which the planter would have to pay white men from ive to eight shiliings.Yet In the Clar- ce and Richmond river districts In New South Wales, many small farmers snd planters seem to make a good lv- ag by producing sugar cane by white mbor, and why should not those ln Queensland as well?Befors Dr.Pa- fom and a number of other gentlemen on se occasion, à planter put the follow- ng questions to a number of his men:\u2014 \u2018Are you happy?Do you like plantation work?Do you get plenty of food?Would you like to go back to your own tlards?They replied \u2018yes\u2019 to the first Questions and \u2018no\u2019 to the last, and he turned with delight to his visitors and id, \u2018Ses how happy they are etc.But when Dr.Paton ssked the poor fellows the same questions in thelr own lan- tuage their answers were the very reverse and THEY BEGGED HIM PITEOUSLY to get them taken home to Tanna.Another evil is the depopulation of the uands The traffic has taken away some N.000 of the most healthy lads and girls from the New Hebrides and from other groups In the same proportions.And although those taken are chiefly the young and healthy yet on account of the change of food, «lothing and houses, and the long hours of work, the mortality among them has been very great.Through the planters\u2019 greed of gain many thousands of them lle in Queensland buried like dogs.Dr.Paton\u2019s testimony Is strongly cor toborated by other disinterested writers.Mr.Hume Nisbet, in his book \u2018A Colonial Tramp.\u2019 published In 1901 writes:\u2014 \u2018Pervonally, from what 1 have seen of the black South Ses Thland trade I taanot discern much difference between it, as It Is, and the negro catching and ave dealing of America long ago.The ways of trapping them are very little different ;: the transporting them to Queensland is similar; and the retaln- ing of them is as nearly alike as it could posaibly be in reality, although to read the laws concerning it.it is altogether a different and benevolent system.In the hotel where I put up at \u2018Maryborough, the captain, super- targo and officers of the Young frat Were staying.The sloop itself was iying at anchor in the river, and [ sketched from the verandah\u2014a clean-bulit, \" -the ideal of what, days, ! used to read for another voyage.It had come in a short time before, deluged with blood, and filled with wounded men.There had bean a rising of the cargo on board, much blood split, and many lives Jost, (this was in 1886), and they were now fling It up with the consumptive exiles \u2018whose time was up.\u2019 \u2018But In spits of all this,\u2019 continued Dr.Paton, \u2018the Lord's work on the islands goon on.\u2019 \u2018What difference can you eee, Dr.ton, between the islands now and what they were when you frst went there thirty-five years ago?A wondering amie crept over the fine old face, apparently at the child- Ishn of such a question, \u2018Difference ! Why there le all the difference In the world.The difference of where human life is safe and where it is not.Bince I went there, four of our missionaries have been murdered and on not one of the thirty jslands was life safe anywhere.Now 1ifé and property are safe on twenty of them.\u2019 \u201cTnen you have not much sympathy with the people who say, \u201cLet the heathen, alone, they are better as they are T° Again that pktying smile.\u2018Ah, the people who talk like that don\u2019t know what they are talking about.They haven't seen heathenism as I have seen Rk.1 was for some years in city mission work in Glasgow.I came in contact with the very lowest, But the lowest to be seen in a Christian country is infinitely better than the highest of heathenism.Why a heathen has no safety anywhers among his fellows any more than we had when we first went among them.He dare not stir from hls hut without his gun or spear or club.The Women ?Yes, they are treated bru- y.\u2018Which accept the truth first, the men or the women ?\u201cThe men frst a rule; but that is only where we hi no women missionaries.Where a missionary\u2019s wife is thére the women are reached first.A missionary is not of much use among women without a wife, as the women will not dare come near him.\u2019 \u2018Do you send out unmarried missionaries 7 \u2018No, the stats of that country is still too bad.\u201d \u2018My special work just now is to raise money to build a missionary salp to replace the \u2018Dayspring.\u2019 which was wrecked two or three years ago.1t Is an absolute necessity.We are 1,400 miles from Australia and have no means of getting ourselves the needed supplies to the islands except by the slave vessels and those we will not use.There is enough money among our people, but (with a little sigh) It is hard to get at it.But (bravely) in spite of all the difficulties the Lord's work goes on.\u2019 \u201cThen you do not work al the lines of the \u201cFalth Missions,\u201d living As the natives live and trusting the Lord to keep you T \u2018No, not on those lines.I have no pe- tence with that system at all.Of course a man must trust in God, but would it be trusting In God for a farmer to leave his fields untilled while he preached, and trust God to fesd him because he was doing God's work ?The same principle holds good on the foreign field.Imagine n man speaking to a group of naked heather, telling them of the Christ who died to save them from their sins until many of them were deeply impressed, and then turn round and ask them for something to eat! You can ses the folly of it at once! Would they respect him ?Not any heathen I have ever seen.\u201d on you tell us how your books have soi \"Very well in England.On what was sold there the Mission realized well.Very many have sold in the United States, too, but on them I have realisod almost nothing, in all not more toan ninety pounds.I don't quite under stand these matters, but that is how the thing has worked out.They are supposed to pay a royalty, but that is sll it has amounted to so far.\u2018Who is carrying on your work while you are away 7 \u201cThe chief of the Island, and twenty years ago he was a cannibal himself.\u2019 Dr.Paton has been working hard all summer, addressing two and sometimes three meetings every day.He has only been home twice in thirty-five years, and looks forward to getting back to the New Hebrides as soon as possible.\u2014\u2014 SOMETHING AROUT THE FOOT.If you stand upon one foot you stand practically upon a tripod, that is, your weight is resting chiefly upon three points\u2014the heel, the ball of the great toe, and the ball of the little tos.If the foot is bare all three poirts are upon the same level, and the foot is broadest at the toes.Also, between your bel behind and the other two points of the tripod In front \u2014 more especilly marked between the heel and the ball of the great toe\u2014 in a beautiful arch of bone and ligament.Twelve bones go to form this arch, the ligaments join them, and between the bones are little elastic pads of cartilage acting as buffers.The shape of the foot and the power of boue, ligament, cartilage and muscle, to plar their part freely, are necessary for a graceful movement.But for some reason or another this graceful and complex Instrument doesn\u2019t please you, so you distort not only your own feet, but probably very early in your children's lives you met about spoiling their feet too.Pointed toes mre \u2018fashionable\u2019 forsooth! Let us be horest if we may, and healthy if we can, but let us be fashionable at all costs.So, regardiess of the fact that our great toe is our longest toe, also that it is the most useful In walking, we decide that it should be about the same length as the little one, and that the lon toe must be in the middie.So we get pointed shoes, regardiess of the great toe being In the line of the inner edge of the foot, and we cram those shoes on.The great toe protests.It develops in-growing toe-nall perhaps, or 1t insists on a certain amount of room, and so crushes the poor little toe against the other side of the shoes that it gets corns.Btiil there is not room enough and the great toe begins to give way.It retreats toward the middie line, crushing up the other toes.What somes next 7 Well, there is & muscle running along the foot that pulls upon big toe: if the toe Is straight the mu pulls (t straight, but if the porn is pushed inward then the muscle pulls it farther in, and the other end, that le where the tos springs from the foot.is pushed out\u2014and this is the ugly thing called a bunton.\u2014 Health.\u2019 THE MONTREAL WEEKLY WITNESS BRAVO, SENATOR TASSE!

THE CANADIAN BANKING SYSTEM.To the Editor of the New York \u2018Evens Ing Post\u2019 : Sir\u2014The various articles that have recently appeared in the \u2018Evening Post\u2019 contrasting the Canadian banking system with that of the United States have been reproduced In our local papers, and have created a great deal of Interest.If strikes me that not enough has been made of the fact of the large capitals of our Canadlan banks, as compared with the smaller capitals of those in the United States.Take, for instance, the Bank of Montreal.At the close of June it had a capital of $12,000,000 and « reserve of $6,000.000.while its deposita on demand were $12,660,000, and payable on notice, $12,500,000, or a total of 7 little over double ita capital.The Merchants\u2019 Bank of Canada had a capital of $6,000,000, and $2,900,000 reserve, while its deposits on demand and on notice were about $0,000,000.The Canadian Bank of Commerce, with a capital of $6,000,000 and reserve of $1,100,008, has deposits of about $17,000,008.There are any number of banks in New York with capitals of half a million and deposits of from ten to twelve million, or twenty times the amount of their capital.In other words, the Ames rican Banks are conducting their busi, ness almost entirely upon the money of their depositors, the amount of which Is liable to be at any moment seriously contracted, whereas the Canadian banks are doing business on the capital stock provided by the shareholders, and which amount cannot be withdrawn.Another important element in the Ua- nadian banking system is the law preventing loans on real estate, *excepting when & bank is forced to do mo, such as through an Insolvency or for some such reason beyond their control.On June 30 the entire amount loaned by Canadian banks on real estate was 3672487.They are also restricted from investing money beyond a certain sum in bank premises, the idea of the bank- Ing system being that their assets shall be within easy control.The system of branches as so clearly explained by Mr.Watson, of the Bank of Montreal, is no doubt a very important factor, as it enables the head office of a bank to be constantly informed of the conditions of trade throughout the country, and enables the bank to shift its money from one section of the country to another ag required, so that there is really no come petition between large cities for money, such as seems to be the case in the United States.The elasticity of our circulating medium Is also very desirable and important, and as the bank notes are guaranteed by all the banks, and are re deetaable at par in any portion of the Dominion, there is no loss entalied through the failure of the smailas banks, should such occur at any time.The proximity of New York to Canada is also @ very strong feature, as It enables the larger banks to keep their loose cash In New York, where it is loaned on call, and whence, In case of emergency, it can be brought into Tana.da within forty-eight hours.The amount thus loaned in the United States at the end of June was $1731.78, à little more than 50 percent of this en.Ure bank circulation, which was $33.- 483.413.If this large sum were employed in Canada instead of the United States, and the banks endeavored to utilize 18 In case of a panic, it would of course aggravate the local situation, whersas, beirg brought from the United States, it ts but a drop from the bucket thers.The management of the Bank of Montreal have for years practically Kepl themselves in the position that the Bunk of England does.They have always & large amount of their assets in such shape that they can at any moment come to the reacue of any of the weaker banks end prevent a crisis, They do not lend money on local stocks, but should a crisis arise where the strim- gency of the market might cause a panic if local stocks were thrown overboard, they are prepared to lend money to smaller banks or to the larger brokers on such

It is the fashion of labor orators to affirm that tramps are rapidly increas ing in number under prevailing indus trial conditions, and even such a writer as Henry George has estimated them at millions in this country alone.Of course, no proof of this tremendous multiplication is offered, for there ia none to be had.I doubt if there are as many tramps In proportion to our population us there were fifty years ago, and my doubt is founded on the notorious facts that the workingman's wages have more than doubled in that time and the cost of almost everything that the workingman has to buy has been reduced nearly one-half.In other words, an hour's labor will buy and actually does buy three times as much as it would buy fifty years ago.In regard to tramps only one thing is new\u2014that Is, the name.The very same genus was known to my mother, but she callod them \u2018codgera\u2019; ihe very same genus was known to my grandmother, but she called them \u2018shacks.\u2019 What my great grandmother called them I do not know, but I doubt not that the professional rounders were «as common then as now?There were no tramps then, because the name was not (nvented till our armigs were Als- banded.There were no dudes then, either, but there have been dandies, swells, fops, beaux, and exquiaites scattered plentitully down the centuries.Names change: the thing persists.September 18, 1893, SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON.| CHILDREN'S CORNER.GAMES FOR THE PLAY-HOUR.(F.Brownscombs, in * Eduostiomal Journal.) Trades.\u2014One of the two sides (who are at opposite ends of the room) selects a trade whose work they must represent in pantomime.When they have made their selection they place the initial Jetter upon the blackboard, fle down one aisle and begin opers- tions while the others come up opposite to them to observe their actions After n few moments the witnessing party confer among themselves, determine what trade was represented, and, through thelr captain, announce it.1f In three guesses they name the trade corre.tly, they choose a member from thelr opponents, if unsuccessful they lose a player.The rule in regard to this is the same as in *\u201c Animal, Vegetatie and Mineral.\u201d The players are not ll- mited to trades alone almost anything may be selected.the work is denominated by two cr more words, the initials of each must be given, ne P P for planting potatoes, M.P, for mixing paints, G.8.for grinding scise sors, woodem tcothpicke Jackatraws.\u2014On (ten cents a thousand, and you need them for your * unita, tens and hundreds \u201d), write numbers from 1 to 104 Take two pieces of common stove-pipe wire and bend them at an inch from the ends to form hooks.Choose asides, drop= the numbered picks in & confused heap on the desx and angle for them with the hooks.Beginning with the captains, à player from each side alternately has three (rials.If in gelling a straw out he disturbs any ef the others, he gives up his hook.If he withdraws his hook {rom any straw he has ben angling for, it counts as one trial.That side wins whose nume bers added give the greatest sum.Clothespins.\u2014 The sides sit sn rows facing each other.On the desk by each captain is a dozer clothespins, smooth chips, or blocks.At à given signal each captain seizes his pins and hands them to the next player who passes them to his neighbor, and 0 on till they come into the possession of the last player, who must place them on the desk next him, hold up both hands, and immediately pass them back nguin.The side whose captain first replaces his dosen clothespins In their original position wins the game.All the pins must make the cir- cult, though it is not necessary that any player have the whole dosen in his hands at once.Hand.\u2014The opposing sides stand along two of the aisles facing each other and with a row of desks between, the captains being at opposite ends One side is then given a cent or other coin, which, with hands behind their backs, they pass rapidly from one to another, the captain, meanwhile, wateh- ing its progress from behind.When satisfied with its lccation he eries out * Hands up,\u201d raise thelr closed desks.After a few * Hands down,\u201d and all bring down simultaneously their hands, paims under, flat upon the desks.Onethen, though the others may advise him, of the opposite party has one guess as to which hand conceals the cent If correct the guesser takes the Coin und his party work it; if wrong, the true holder reveals it and passes it again, his side keeping it each time tli guessed correctly.Unless the hands be brought down all at once and the holder be an expert, the noise the coin makes in striking the desk will reveal Its position to the guensers.Character Guessing.\u2014One pupll leaves the room while the others decide upon some character for him.The absent person being recalled, each of the others in turn asks him & question referring to the character he has bees elected to represent.When he guesses his tdentity, Je chooses some other player to retire in bie place.For instance, John leaves the room, and the players decide that he shall represent Richard I.of England.On his entrance, one asks, * Did you really come in sight of Jerusalem ?\u201d Another \u201c How did you happen to quarrel with King Philip 7\" Ancther Inquires * How did you fare in prison ?\" ete, till he guesses correctly, He then sends Minnie or Andrew, as he chooses, from the room, Another way.One pupil assumes & haracter and talks about himself, the thers endeavqring from his converse tion to guess his identity.The more obscure his statements, the longer, of course, they are baMed.As each guesses he whispers the character te the principal, who continues till all, of nearly sll have guessed, the first cor rect guesser doing the talking in the next game.Occasionally, considerable amusement may be caused by choosing some person present.or weli-known {9 all es the character represented.Besides historical characters, fictitious ones known to the pupils may be se lected.In this latter came, It is pere baps best to onnfine them to the Read ers.whare are plerty, as Tom Brown, Daffydowndllly, Casablanca, Little Nell, Portia, King Midas, etc.Char acter guessing is really an excellent game, and may be made to serve usefully in your history, geography asd literature classes.For historical and geogruphical namés the game of Twenty Questions te also very good.My Uncle's Cat.\u2014The leader hegine by , \u201cMy uncle has an A ont\u2019 ;
