A little man asking how it happened
that many beautiful ladies took up with
but indifferent husbands, after many
fine offers, was thus aptly answered by
q mountain maiden: A young friend OF
hers, during a walk requested her to so
into a delightful canebrake and there
get him the handsomest reed. She must
get it in once going through, without
turning. She went, and coming out,
brought him quite meal reed. When
he asked If that was the handsomest one
she saw: oh, no, replied she, Il

Kept on in hope of much better, until |
had gotten nearly through, and then

The sad story Of Beautiful New YorA
House.

The sad story Of = Beautiful New York
House.
There Is in New York, upon one of the
most fashionable thoroughiares, mag
nificent house, veritable palace. which
can never be looked at by the sentimen-
tai woman without tear coming TO her
eye because Of the story attached TO it.
IL was designed and built, says the
Ladies Home Journal, by one of the
richest men in New York-the head OF
an old Dutch family-for the woman he
loved Throughout the whole house,
which might have been called The
House Beautiful, were the colors, fur
nishings. ornaments, and dainty touches
that were the young brides taste.
The ball room, in which she expected
20 trip 30 many merry measures, was
walled and ceiled in many calored mar
bles, but the lover himself directed the
building Of the porte cochere, under
which her carriage was 70 roll, 50 that,
stepping out, she would not be touched
by a drop Of rain or a fake Of snow.
Everything was ready; the horses were
paving in the stable, waiting for the
day TO come when they would carry
their new mistress out; the coachman
and the footman had their big white ro-
settles at hand to wear on the wedding
day; the house was full Of fragrance. for
beautiful flowers were massed to please
the coming mistress, and everything
seemed TO be in harmony with all this
thoughtful loving care, for the sun
shone bright, and il was somebody's
wedding day.
Yes; but il wasn't an earthly wedding.
for when, with quick footsteps, her
mother went TO wake the expectant
bride, she found her dead. The last kiss
she had given had been TO her lover the
night before. The last kiss he ever gave
to any human being he gave to her as
she rested in her coffin. But he lives in
the beautiful house and does with his
great fortune a deal of good, all in tho
name of the woman he loved. The shut
ters are never open in the wonderful
house, the carriage has never been used,
no feet have danced in the ball room,
but it and the solitary man are there as
evidences of the fact that love can so
completely fill the heart that all life Is
nothing without it.

While there are many illusions in
which the young and some who are not
young indulge, and which must inevi-
tably at some time or other be revealed
and drop away, the ideals of life-that
is. the highest and purest hopes and
dreams of good to be attained-are all
true, and will eventually be fulfilled.
Therefore we need never part with them,
nor with the joyful enthusiasm and act

LONDON, March 25.-The Standard saya
that not only is the land purchase meae-
ure complete, but It is simply ingenious.
It thinks that although twenty years is
fixed as the maximum time for purchase,
seventeen years is likely TO DO the aver
age. It attaches much importance to
the proposal dealing with arrears, anil
in conclusion, while admitting a point
that may be advantageously modified,
it says that in general scope and bearing
the measure may be trusted to stand tho
brunt even OF malevolent criticism. Re-
garding the Irish church surplus, the
Standard understands that about CO, ,0OO,-
900 remain.
The Pail Mall Ga:elte, commenting on
the Irish land purchase bill, introduced
in the House Of Commons last night by
Mr.. Balfour, says that the bill is abomin-
able, in that 1t dishonesty processes To
clear the British taxpayer Of RESPONSE
bility, while his credit is the cole lever
by which Mr.. Balfour expects to get in
his ends. 1t is also unjust in that it con-
fers upon handful Of citizens, at tho
expense Of the rest OF the community, a
boon 10 which they have no claim be.
yond other cultivators Of the soil.
The 81. James Ga:eite defends the com-
pllcated proposals in the bill.

Embarrassed by tho scnrcIty of Soda Ash.
Wllnt Is Said In Wheeling.
CHICAGO, March 25.-Trouble is brew
ing among the glass manufacturers OF
the country and unless speedy relief ur-:
rives their number will be considerably
diminished. Soda ash, or rather its ab-
sence, is the cause Of the trouble, and
though the demand for glassware is as
great as ever known, many manuiact-
urers will shortly be compelled to shut
down their mills. The supply OF soda
ash is practically shut OIL by the strike
among the dock laborers atz Liverpool.
More than SO per cent. OF the soda ash
used in this country ia derived from
Liverpool, and as large portion Of the
supply is used for other, purposes, the
glass manufacturers find it bard to meet
their orders. Representatives OF Eastern
glass houses here are doing little except
swapping yarns. The fact that glass has
risen over 100 per cent. in price within
the past month has had a depressing
effect upon them, and the solo topic OF
conversation was "Where is the ad.
vance going to end?" m.
II am not soliciting orders for glass;
said u salesman. "Our firm makes win
dow glass and lamp chimueys and at the
present price OF ash, there is only los:
in making them. It would pay us bette,
to sell the small amount Of ash we have
in stock and shut up for while" ID
Iu this connection it is an open secret
that q Pittsburgh firm has been trying
to buy all the visible supply ofsoda ash
in the country. "But tho supply is mol
to be. bought" said Mr.. Greer, manager
of Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett 4 Co. 8

DETECTIVE MURRAY

Taken to Tnsk for Indlscretions in tho
Burchcll Affair.
ToRoNTo, ONT., March o5.-In the
Ontario Legislature yesterday, Mr.
Meredith, leader ofthe opposition, called
the attention ofthe Government to what
he regarded as very improper mode ol
procedure on the part Of Government
Detective Murray, in connection with
the Benwell-Burchell murder case. He
referred to interviews with Detective
Murray published in several Canadian
and American newspapers, in which the
detective commented on the case and
gave information which, Mr.. Meredith
said, he though was greatly likely to pre-
Judlce people against tho prisoner. He
had nothing to say against Murray per.
sonally, but considered such conduct
highly reprehensible on the part Of an
officer OF the crown, and that it called
for immediate attention from the Gov.
eminent. :: - z. Il0i
Attorney General Mowat, premier,
said he regarded Murray very careful
aud efficient officer, but agreed with the
leader OF the opposition that tho alleged
interviews and information contained
therein might have tendency to pre-
jqdice the people, and were improper.
he promised to have the matter invest
igated, and il Detective Murray was
found guilty Of the indiscretion ascribed
to him, he would take steps to prevent
it occurring again.
