CANISTER AND SCHRAPNEL.

During the war the newspaper accounts
of conflicts between the artillery and in
fantry were full of glowing descriptions
of the destruction wrought by the batter
les with "grape and canister'' But the
probabilities are that not one in twenty
batteries ordinarily carried stand Of
grape in their ammunition chests. Can
lister they always had, and they were gen.
erous enough in scattering it among the
enemy's infantry. Our men were accus-
toned to nickname canister "canned
fruit" and at close quarters it sometimes
did a great deal of damage, but at dis
tance of several hundred yards canister
was worthless and instead use was made
of schrapnel, or case shot, which is shell
filled with iron bullets. There was a
moral effect to schrapnel which canister
did not possess, especially where new
troops were exposed to it. First there
was the ominous smoke, as white as chalk,
ascending from the muZZle of the enemy's
cannon, and there was the deep "boom !"
and almost simultaneously there appear
ed, so feet, perhaps, up in the air, and IN
front of US circular tuft of smoke, in the
midst of which opened a wicked-looking
glare, and that instant second loud re-
port was followed by pelting hail OF the
schrapnel bullets and the schurrying fit
of ragged fragments of the shell itself.
When not one but ten, perhaps twenty,
of these projectiles were exploded every
minute or two, just above the heads, it
was only regiment of Well-seasoned vet
Grams, or new regiment of extraordinary
solderike qualities, that would hold its
ground .-CHicd0O IfnleS

AMERIC4'S WEALTH,

The total wealth of our country, now the
richest in the world, is reported at 3,o00,-
600, 900, in population of5O, ,OOO,0 900, makes
a total of 17,500,000 producers, says the
Rev. DIR. Behrends. An enormous sum IN
the aggregate, representing, however. the
accumulations of 250 years, much of it IN
land, buildings and machinery.
An equal division would give to each
man, woman and child capital of only
$50, much Of it relatively worthless to the
individual owner, or of $500 to each pro-
ducer. The latter sum represents the linn
it of average wealth attainable. There is
no more to be had.
The same result is emphasized by ana
living the annual production. The most
careful estimates place this at $40, ,OOO,OOO,-
600 annually. From this must be deduct
ed 500, 900, 900 paid in taxes, 81 300, 900
to make good the annual wear and tear of
the means of production, leaving $S,0OO,-
OOO, 900 to be divided among 80, 100000 con-
sumers, without allowing anything for in
terest on invested capital or for its increase.
Allowing per cent. for these, the net pro-
duction is reduced to $5,725, ,OO0, 900.
Throwing capital out of the account,
there is only $160 year for each inhabit-
ant, or of Sis, if capital is entitled to a
dividend-an average of from 81 to Al cents
a day.
Forty cents day must suffice, on the
averge, to feed, clothe and shelter the peo-
pie of this country. Or, dividing the act
ual production among the actual workers,
the average income will be between 1927
and S475a year.
Three hundred and fifty dollars year
must buy bread, raiment, pay house rent,

At last came Polly ,vith a dirty stare.
"Does Mr. Strangfeld live here" asked
DIR. Shaw, holding that it would be little
too condescendng for a man Of his dignity
and station to appear to know so humble a
fact
@What do zee say" cried Polly.
The doctor repeated his question In loud,
imperious manner.

tonished at his ignorance. care ye in want

the little man with q frown.
The girl made way for him to pass, and for
love of his frill gave him a wide passage;
closed the door with turgid attention to the
catch of the latch. and left the doctor planted
against the wall, to escape all touch Of her,
while she went to announce him
Mrs. Strangfeld came hurrying out, with
a wild look of sorrow in her face, and her
eyes sore with weeping.
But ut sight of the fine frill, and naughty
mouth, and twisted forehead, and silk waist
coat, God bless her! she courtesied to the
ground.
Mrs. Strangfelds courtesy made DR..

And the doctor made bow that twisted
his figure into note of Interrogation.
"My name is Mrs Strangfeld, sir
know you to be DR.. Shaw. and may God
send You have come to bring us tidings of
our girl" replied the poor mother, in her
tearfulest voice.
II am here on very special errand-one
that concerns us all closely. If your hus-
band is visible should be glad to see him.
oh yes. sir, lie is in this room pray walk
in. DR.. Shaw" said Mrs. Strangfield, Won
dcrng that her fearful face should provoke
no expression of concern from the doctor,
and herein exactly showing herself to be the
daughters mother, for on the very previous
day had not Jenny herself fallen into the
same wonder over the little mans glazed
manners!
He followed her into the parlor, and within
a pace of the door stood to deliver his cool,
collected bow to Mr.. Strangteld who half
rose from his armchair to return the Saluta-
ton
"Good morning to you DR.. Shaw. Pray
take a chair, sir. This fine weather is very
promising for the farmers, and there be talk
of a grand harvest this year." said the ship
wright remaining half risen out Of his chair
until the doctor was seated
Mrs. Stransfield looked at her husband
with an expression of helpless, eager despair.

could he receive the doctors visit so easily

calling! Great Lord! how did he know but

PROOF POSITIVE.

Down the familiar road which we have
traversed before in our visits to Greystone
school, there was coming at this hour and
walking with brisk steps, which ever and
anon shot up a twirl of dust, no less a per-
sonage than DR.. Isaac Shaw.
This was an uncommonly early hour for
Dr. Shaw to be found outside his school; for
here was not a man to be courted from dis
cipline by the sweetness Of early morning
air.
As he approached the bottom OF the hill
and neared the houses his step sackened
and took yet more dignifed moderation of
gesture.
When at the bottom of the street, he
paused moment to inspect the wooden
house of the shipwright, which looked shyly
toward him through its green drapary.
With an uneasy glance around him, such
as a man might cast who wishes to effect an
object without detection. the doctor crossed
the road and knocked hurredly Oh the door
of the wooden house.
There are many kinds of bad servants; but
the worst kind of servant is the servant who
keeps YOU waiting on the door step
Had this door flown open under the doc

that Dr. Shaw had no wish to be seen stand

A BITTER RESOLVE.

~ 1l1-SON
A BITTER RESOLVE.
The night was soft and sweet with dew,
and the mild stars shone lustrously. Now,
was it that the cool air and the deserted
length of the High street, and the black
shadows Of the soaring town, brought to her
an unutterable sense Of homelessness, and the
chill and terror of the lonesome state. She
came round to the froat Of the house, and
under the gloom Of the bay tree paused and
reflected, not daring to lift her eye to her
parents bedroom window.
She crept softly out Of the darkness and
crossed the road and went up the street, hug
ging the shadow of the houses. When abreast
Of the market place, again was she seized
with numbing sense of helplessness and a
great agony of spirit The sympathy of a
human wholesome one to tell her story to
and take advice from, she wanted, and per-
haps the very last person whom 1t would
have entered her head to apply to under any
other circumstances she now resolved to seek.
This was Mrs Mead, who had shown her
some kindness that morning, and the sort OF
sympathy that was not likely to thwart If it
did not profit her.
So she fitted like some restless spirit
through empty stalls and vacant, silent
g'oom, and, hesitating moment before Mrs.
Mead's door. knocked lightly.
Although there was no light in Mrs Mead's
window, the old woman was not asleep, haV'
ing not two minutes before Jenny's arrival
txtinguished her tallow candle and got into
bed. Hearing sound that resembled a
knock at the door, the old woman lifted her
ear out of the pill ow and listened After a
little interval the knock was repeated, and
there being no mistake about the noise this
time, Mrs. Mead, greatly wondering, darted
her withered legs out Of bed, struck light,
swathed her old form in the counterpane,
which she plucked from the bed, went to the
door and opened it, holding the candle over
her head.
She instantly recognized Jenny, and ut
tered cry Of astonishment.

"Listen to reason, woman!" he exclaimed,
controlling his voice with an effort that dis
colored and convulsed his features. "You
run mad easily, and madness is on you now,
and in this temper you are not to be trusted
abroad. What will your sorrow do but pub
lish our shame' At thy time of life to chase
a phantom Such is your child now; for
where is she gone, and what road will you
take? On, fool! to let love blind thee to the
curse that God has set upon our foreheads!
You have sucked vice, and l have loved it
and caressed it, and now it has brought
shame upon us and left us! The will Of the
Lord of Hosts be done! But this is my death,
Jane Wife, this thing has put ice in my
heart am cold here"
He stopped short, with his hand upon his
breast shaking his head slowly, with his
frown gone.
"sit thee down, Michael My poor man!
This is cruel hard upon us bothl What
have we done that God should take our only
one from us? Sit thee down. Why do you
pluck at your shirtl-your hand is all of
shiver."
She pushed chair under him and he sank
into it, and family beat with his fingers
upon his thigh, looking downward with q
sideway droop of the head
He rallied presently, and gazed at hor
wistfully with softened eye, as she stood
before him with averted face silently crying.
"Am not l wise, Jane, to restrain thee
from running into the town to seek the girl!
That which is crooked saith the preacher,
cannot lie made straight; and that which IS
wanting cannot be mum bered.' If n, come
not back of her own accord, is it meet that
her mother should bring herr Not with my
leave shall you do it. And if she come, go!
for this house will not hold us two. Hush!
I'll not hear you. Your love is a mothers,
and say God help thee! but if she were
twenty times my child, the hem of her gar
ment should not touch the sole of my
boot. so hateful hath her sin made her in my
sight"
He spoke with subdued energy-as man
in an illness might, indeed; and though
bitter and shocking as his words were for
his wife to hear, yet his broken aspect, his
ashen face, his dropping head, the senile
twitching of his fingers, the duled gleam
in his eye, were sights Of pathos to modify
pure maternal anguish with wifely yearn-
ing and dim dread not yet lefinable.
@You will not think her honest" She
mosned. "You will not believe that fear
has driven her forth. If she is ignorant OF
the church wherein she was married, and
hath no memory to help thee to find it,
would she not think with terror on the
journey and fly rather than take it with
you who are so stern to herr Oh, Michael
it drives me mad to stand here and think
of her as a lonely, helpless wanderer.
"Why do you say thats Has the man no
friends, or means, to give her shelteri
How know you that her fight is not a
scheme to join her lover who is i'll hidingi
Does she lack cunning! Do not seek her!
I would lock thee in thy bedroom rather
than that this last disgrace should come
upon us!"
She answered him not word, but leaned
her forehead against the edge of the high
mantelpiece. and thus stood in silent anguish.

Ragn Not to return one good office for
another is inhuman but to return
evil for good is diabolical. There are
too many even of this sort, who, the
more they owe, the more they hate.
There is nothing more dangerous
than to oblige those people, for when
they are conscious of not paying the
debt, they wish the creditor out of
the way.

OFFENSTVE ALLIANCE
Reported Against Russia by Number OF
the Contine ntaI Powers.

Reported Against Russia by n Number of
the Continental Powers.
A London special of the 18th says
that the British government, in con-
cert with Austria, Italy and Turkey,
will resist the candidature of the
Prince of Mengrelia, or of any other
Russian subject for the Bulgarian
throne. The entente with Austria
grows daily closer, and now amounts
virtually to an offensive alliance
against Russia. Sir A. B. Paget, Brit
ish ambassador at Vienna, and Count
Kalnoky, in q conference at Vienna,
exchanged an agreement that if Russia
should occupy Bulgaria or seize her
ports, Austria will send two army
corps to join the Servian troops and
they will advance into Bulgaria, while
England will send her fleet simultane-
ously to enter the Black Sea and
guard the Danube, and prevent the
passage of Russian troops. Turkey,
at the same time, is to concentrate
her troops on the Roumelian frontier.
1t is hoped that the projects of the al
lied powers, being known in Russia,
will modify the Cars plans in the di-
rection of peace.

KAULBARS CALLED BACK.

Summoned Home.
The Berlin Post, of the 18th, says it
is reported on semi-official authority
that Gen. Kaulbars is about to be re-
called from Bulgaria, and adds that
the step will be accepted as Indicative
that the Powers have arranged to re-
place the attempt to solve the Bull
garian difficulty by action on the spot
by International adjustment. A dis
patch from Odessa says it is reported
that Gen. Kaulbars has been sum-
moned to ST. Petersburg to report on
the results of his mission to Bulgaria.
The Bulgarian government has re-
fused to remove the commandment and
project of Philippopolis, whose dis
missal was demanded by Gen. Kaul-
bars, because of the arrest of g. Rus
sian official there. The Government
promises, however, to make an in
quiry and to punish them if they are
culpable. The regents have returned

at meeting of Bell telephone subscribers

association was formed, consisting of 600

would order their telephones removed at
noon on November 20, regardless Of unex-
pired contracts. 1t was further agreed that
any new arrangement with the company
would necessarily include q recompense
for any loss, by reason of unexpired con-
tracts. The present members Of the asso.
citation consist principally Of representa-.
tives of business houses, and it is thought
that the remaining 400, which represent
private houses chiefly, will join the associa
ton. The troubl5 grows out of an an.

THERE are but two parts of the

still afford fields for the enterprising

the most promising fields for geo.
graphical research. The polar regions
