son-and not such very little one
either-a bouncing magnificent boy,
with his mothers colors aud eyes, nun
of life and Joy and spirit, and quite the
most remarkable baby in the world.
And 20, when the child was six months
old, it seemed to More Van More in his
happiness that he vas wrong to deprive
his family of the Blessing of knowing of
such a blessing, and he wrote home for
the third time, but this time to his
mother. This was shaking the red flag
in the face of the bull. Mr.. Van More
trampled up and down his wife's sitting
room awhile, reared and stamped and
snorted and beloved, and not till he
had reduced her to tears for having
brought such a son into the world, and
and had to have the maids and ether
and hot bottles, did he subside into ST.
lence and thought.
That this son Of beg9arly shop-girl
of Jewess should be the Van More.
Never, never, if he had to put out the
light Of all the Van Nores at oncel Joce-
lyme, his eldest daughter, should mar
ry young De We're, and he should take
the name Of Van More. For sum Of
money More should break the entail
and renounce his name, TAX
ing instead that of his low
born wife. And so Joycelyne's son,
who was foregone conclusion in Mr..
Van Nore's mind, should be the great
Van More to come. He had q satchei

Seeing the Circus.

When good King Solomon remarked
a long time ago, "There is nothing
new under the sum- it is to be presumed
he had just returned frem "seeiBg the
chcus."
Everybody knews what a circus is
Some people " let on " to be vee6 igno-
rant in regard TO such things, but such
ignorance is like an ulster ON a cold
day in winter-put on.
Some respectable people attend cir
cnses. Even a church deacon goes him
self once Id fifty years. It is necessary
to do this to keep green the memory
of the clawn's remarks that used to
tickle the Tbs of our great gr%andfatliers.
Every well regulated circus has an
animal show along with it. This is
necessary, in order to ease off the con-
sciences of church members desiring to
attend.
The animal part of the show owe
q HsufliouuG ethJihe, aiau doouo AU1tS
feet square of ground.
The commonest animal of all is the
man, whe gees in advance, talks the
editor into a semi unconscious state,
and then scoops in a double column ad,
fer half price, and twenty tickets fer
" the boys, you know" The latter do
not include reporters, who always pay
their way in, er-llook III under the
canvas.
As soon as the door opens and the
man with the tall beaver stands at the
entrance, the show is greatly increased
by a rush of animals from the outside.
They pay fifty cents to get in. Some
people would rather miss their dinner
than the circus, particularly these hail
ing from the arooral distrix."

THE
Mathushek Upright.
The only Upright Piano which will remain
permanently in tune.

During the past five years makers of Piano
Fortes have been making great efforts to pro-
iduce an Upright which will stand our severe
climate. They have used several devices, and
have even tried tbut have given it hpl double
iron plates. They have made their cases
strong with immense bookings of wood, and
still most of the Upright Pianos have not
proved satisfactory for this reason: That the
Tuning Pins in all of them are placed into q
wooden plank which is wedged up to the iron
plate, and which, at every change of weather,
will shrink or swell, thus causing the piano to
get out of order and out of tune. !.
