appeared to arouse all the Ire of jealousy Of
Miss Duer's nature and she pa5sionately and
upon her knees begged that her request might
be complied with, but In vain.
The very next day, at an early hour, 1t was
that Miss Duer called at Miss Hearn's house
and was shown In the sitting groom, where the
latter was sitting with her mother. The con-
versation that occurred In the room was OF
general nature, and nothing was said there
OF the walk. When Miss Duer was about to

accompany her friend to the door, and the
two girls passed out In the passage. After a

An Awful Battle.

The battle of Torgau, fought by Fred
rick the Great in 1850, is well known to
have been one of the most murderously-
contested actions which has ever taken
place, but until lately no trust worthy
enumeration has ever been given of the
killed, wounded and missing ON either side.
In the fssg EuEH5sT Uf VI szss
6sGtt, the organ of the German general staff,
carefully prepared tables are published of
the losses suffered by the several Prussian
regiments of Cavalry and BattalioIs of In
fantry and from these it appears that the
SO battalions which took part in the action,
and which numbered altogether 26, 600 Of
ficers and men, lost total of 1880 Off
GERS and men, or about 60 per cent of their
aggregate effective. In the 80 battalions
which fought under the personal direction
and Immediate orders of the King, the pro-
portion of losses was even greater 80 that
after the action, the five battalions OF
Grenadiers had to be formed into one bat
TALON, the remnants of six battalions of two
other regiments being also temporarily
organized into one battalion. Of the 49,
600 Infantry soldiers whe went into action
$3.50 were killed, 1856 were wounded,
while 8, 130 were reported as missing. As
a contrast to this terrible proportion of
killed, wounded and missing, it may be
mentioned that the loss suffered at Grave
lotte amounted to only one-eleventh of the
whole number Of troops engaged on both
sides, at Woerth and Marsha Tour to one
sixth, at Spiceren to one-eighth. at Koenig-
gratz to one-fifteenth only. and at Magenta
and Solferino to one-eleventh.

A Blunder and It's Reward.

During his first visit to Paris M. Lassal-

whom he had sent letters of introduction In
advance. When the servant opened the
door and received his card she conducted
him to the boudoir and told him to be seat
ed, saying:
"Madame will come Immediately"
Presently the lady entered. She was in
dlshabille and her feet were bare, covered
only with loose slippers. She bowed to
him carelessly and said
All, there you are good morning.
She threw herself on a sofa, let fall
slipper, and reached out to Lasalle her very
pretty foot.
Lasalle was naturally completely astoun-
ded, but he remembered that au home in
Germany it was the custom sometimes to
kiss lady's hand, he supposed it was the
Paris mode to kiss her foot. Thereupon
be did not hesitate to itnprint a kiss upon
the fascinating foot so near him, but he
could not avoid saying, ~
~ thank you, madame. for this new
method of making lady's acquaintance.
It is much better and certainly more gen.

Canada Pacific Railway.


This railway, according to a late LGndon
Times, has secured the capital for the con-
struction Of the entire road in London.
The basis of the negotiation is that the
road gets 100, 600, 900 acres of land from
Canada, which is given to the British cap
italists as security the grant IS to be
vested in commissioners, one of whom ls
to be appointed by the imperial govern
ment and is to watch over the interests of
English investors. A very considerable
part of the railway is to be opened for traffic
within two years the long stretch from the
head Of Lake Superior to Selkirk, on the
Red River, is divided into three sections !;
two of them, the easterly and westerly, are
finished, while the intermediate one is in
progress. From Winnipeg, the capital of
Manitoba, the line is under contract for 300
miles west. The cost Of laying and equip
ping the road west of Winnipeg is estimated
at the low price of $40, 900 per mile, But
400 miles west of that place the land is de-
scribed as like sea, with gentle undula-
tions. The highest range of mountains to
GLOSS are but 5000 feet, while those of the
United States Pacific roads are 1926 and
7O41 feet respectively. The only barren land
is in the vicinity of Lake Superior. Mr..
Sanford Fleming, the engineer in chief,
has reported there is ample room and
Justification for at least two trunk lines
across the prairie lands of Canada. The
Times, in its article, gives the credit of
the initiation OF the United States Pacific
road to John Plumbe, naturalized
Welsh citizen of the United States, in
1925
