Sir Thomas Gladstone usually at
tended the service at Westminster
Abbey on Sunday afternoon when he
was IN town, and he was invariably
mobbcd when walking up and down
the nave aftcrward by people who
mistook him for his younger brother,
whom he greatly rcsemblcd. but Sir
Thomas was taller and moro stately in
appearance. Sir Thomas lived and
died n Tory of the old EIdon type, and
his consistency and the plaiuncss with
which he ayOwCd his opinions made
him respected even by his most bitter
political opponents. Hc went to OK
ford in 1853 and voted against his bro
thCr when that statesman was opposed
by Mr.. Pcrccval, after he had joined
Lord Abordecn's administration, and
he invariably invcighed against Mr..
Gladstouc's policy whenever he maze
n political speech, but personally they
were on the most cordial terms.
They also differed in their church
views, for Sir Thomas, who was n
most dcvout man, favored the evan
gclical side. Sir Thomas Gladstonc's
place in kincardiucshirc, Fusquc
house, is n splendid mansion, and the
extensive dcmesnc is well wooded and
very picturesque. The home farm is
one Of the finest in Scotland. Sir
Thomas inherited the estates Of Fas1uc
and Bulbcguo. which extend to 1000
acres, from his father; and in 1856 lac
purchased Strachan and Glcudye from
Lord Southcsk for E1u, 900. This cs.

Ono wet evening, however, Willie
Ransom got Jack to go, just because
there was nothing else TO do. There
was n short paper being read on Fish
Scales, and a number Of them were
mounted for miCrOscopiCul cXnmina-
ton, Of curse with "a low power say
inch and half inch. Anything rcIat-
ing Ia fish or fishing was certain to
gam Jacks attention, therefore n bet
ter subject could not have been select

had never yet even looked through a
microscopic lie felt n bit ashamed of
this now; but there were Il couple of
microscopes present, and Jack deter.
mined 20 have a good look through
them. The scales of different sorts of
British fishes were ON view. OF course.
fish scales are common enough; but
who would think that each kind has
its pattern Of scale, and that you
could tell n species Of fish by its
scales2
Tho paper showed that tho scales of
fishes were composed of tho same ma
tcrial, chitinc, rs tho feathers of birds,
or tho hair and nails of nnimals-a
kind of substance only found in the
animal kingdom, and ncvcr in the
vegetable; that these scales nro dcvCl-
opcd in little pockets in the Gsh's skin,
which you can plainly see for your
self when Il herring is scaled. They
aro arranged all over the nsh's body
like the tiles covering n roof, partly
overlapping each other, rs is seen by
ouc part of the scale being often diff
fcrcut from tho other.
Jack looked through the microscope
and was delighted He was always a
revcrunt minded boy, and tho sight
broke ON his mind like a now revela-
ton, How cXquisitcly chased and
beautiful were tho markings, lines,
dots and other ~peculiaritics Then tho
scales which run along the middle
line of the fish were shown him, and
the ducts pcrforatiur them, out of
which the mucous flows to uuoiut tho
iiah's body, and thus reduce tho fric-
ton OF its rapid movement through
the water. Tho lad wa half bcwild-

old woman. scrupulously neat, and
dressed In a faded gingham dress and

lips twitching, and tears starting to her
faded blue eyes. ''OLly thinkl my only

Only think of 1t, dear-me at my time

"Ch, am sorry!" said the lady, her
sympathy deeply touched. Cant do

''Yes, the minister see to that for me

'Oh, yes, yes! terribly hard. But try
to hope, try TO think he will live"
'Yes, an I've told 'em all-them that's
talked to me-I'd try to be reconciled if
he went afore got there, but it's hard,
hard! The minister says death is beau
tiful, an may be tits, but I'm an old
woman, dear, an shall live through a
good many weary hours afore my turn
comes, I'm afraid. I'm pretty tough;
I'm nigh sure shan't die easy. An 1

What could be said? Who could com.
fort the stricken mother, or find words
to teach her patience? Still the effort
was tremblingly made. At length tho
train came, the bag and bandbok were
gathered up, and the poor woman nerv-

This is only one of the unfinished

BETTER THAN CATS.

Why tho Barn Owl Has q Strong Claim
on Our Protection.
The barn owl, when she has young,
brings to her nest mouse about every
tweIve minutes, and. as she is actively
employed both at evening and at dawn,
and as male and female hunt, Iorty
mice day Is the lowest computation
we can make How soft is the plumage
Of the owl and how noiseless her fight!
Watch her as she floats past the ivy tod,
down by the riclzs, and silently over the
old wood; then away over the meadows,
through the open door, and out Of the
loop-hole of the barn, round the lichened
tower and along the course Of the
brook. Presently she returns to her
four downy young with mouse In one
claw and vole in the other, soon to be
ripped up, torn and eaten by the
greedy, swapping imps. The young and
eggs are found in the Same nest. If
you would see the midday siesta Of
these birds climb up into some hay
NOW. There In an angle of the beam
you will see their owlships snoring and
blinking wide their great, round eyes;
their duet Is the most unearthly, ridicu-
lous, grave noise conceivable, like moth
ing else you ever heard. Here they
will stay oil day, digesting the mice
with which they have gorged them
selves until twilight, when they again
issue forth upon their madcap revels.
This clever mouser, then, has strong
claim to our projections; so let not idle
superstition further it's destruction.

The Post Dispatch takes the St.

iu which it publishes numberless ST.
Louis people as having been present
at the V. P. hall in that city, when
they were not. In some cases the
persons who were referred to were not
even in this country but travelling in
Europe. AS it was in St. Louis, so
it was in this city. Several Of those
who were represented as having been
present at the ball, were not even in
side The exposition building, where the
ball was held. Fakes of this kind,
however. are not alone due to the pa
pers which publish them, but to the
people, who for the sake of a little

themselves into print.

The investigation which is being
held at Jefferson Barracks, st. Louis,
concerning the treatment of recruits,
has brought out some startling evil
dences of brutality, and there will
probably be some severe punishment
inflicted on the officials in charge. The
investigation was brought about by the
influence of the St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, which sent one of its reporters
there, and who in skillful manner
laid the facts before the public. The
p. D. deserves credit for thus defend
ing the rights of those whose lot, at
best, is an almost thankless one and it
is q mean characteristic which would
withhold the credit.

The old agitation concerning the
eight-hour day, is again revived, but
Mr.. Powderly says that there will be
no general strike. He believes this
movement can only be brought about
by arbitration. Speaking of the mat
ter, the Kansas City Star very truth
fully says:
"Whether or not arbitration will
ever be able to establish eight
hours as the standard working day is
for the future to determine. A uni
versal change from ten hours of labor
to eight hours implies loss Of one
fifth of the product of labor, so far as
the change would apply to the pre-
vailing condition of things. 1t would
involve not merely the reduction in
that proportion of the product of the
mechanics or operatives manual work
but also of the enforced idleness of
tools and machinery and reduced in
terest Cd the investment
of the capital tied up in the
industrial plants. The surrender
of 20 per cent of the income from q
large class of the producing enterprises
of the world is serious outlook, even
on the basis OF universal agreement,
and it certainly cannot be achieved
through local or spasmodic efforts
The people of one city, one section, o.
even one country, certainly canno
survive such loss of production ant
still compete with the people of othe
cities, other sections or other countrie
in the keen rivalry of commerce or il
their personal comfort or welfare
Neither strikes nor local agreement
can impair the infexibls laws of SUI
ply and demand.

and classes of employment, ignore th
claims of the great masses who cannc
