The Democrats, whose absence from the
House allowed the IFHLBAcH amendment
to the election bill to be defeated, are beng
causticaily criticised 10y press and people.
If they have any excuses TO offer, now Is
the time 10 do it, because the opinion OF
the people is fast settling into the concrete
convection that they have not been faith
ful to their trusts. Negligence or indiiier-
ence at n time like that is objectionable.
II Is to be hoped that the Democratic sena-
tors will be more vigant and active.

Arabian Lawyers Are Very shrewd.

When I wan in Arabia, relates trav
eler to reporter of the Kansas City
Times, heard story illustrating the
shrewdness of the native lawyer. An
English merchant, staying at an inn in
one of the smaller towns, placed on de-
posit with the landlord $500. He neg
lected to take receipt for the money,
and when, a few weeks later, having
been absent on a short journey, he had
occasion to ask for it, the landlord opened
his eyes with well-feigned astonishment
and pretended to have forgotten the
transaction. The Englishman was nat
urally enraged, but he had no proof and
no witness, and in his extremity he
sought the advice of native lawyer.
This wise man of the East reflected a
moment, and then gravely said: 'Intrust
another $500 to the keeping of the
landlord, but be sure to have witness
on hand.n
The Englishman was puzzled to know
how this would help him, but he did as
he was directed. "Now," said the law
yer, the next day, ego and claim your
money, but don't take your witness with
you" This was done, and the inn
keeper, ill-prepared to practice the deceit
the second time, handed over the notes.
The traveller once more sought his legal
adviser, who said to him: at is we'll.
Approach your host again, accompanied
by your witness, and demand your
money" The Englishman followed his
instructions. ''But I gave you your
money" protested his host. "Come,
now," replied the merchant, "here is a
man who was present at the time. He
will tell you that he was not witness of
what you claim. He saw me hand you
the money. Be quick, please, I must
leave the CITY," The landlord was out
witted. He saw the trap, but it was too
late, and without more ado he made
good the sum.

Effects of Small Bore Bullets.

A careful investigation into the effects
of small-bore bullets on the human body
has been made by Professor Paul Bruins,
of Tubingen, Germany. The conclusions
arrived at must be considered in all re-
spects satisfactory from humane point
of view. It is found that the hydraulic
pressure in the wound is much dimin-
ished, partly on account of the smaller
diameter of the bullet and partly on ac-
count of the spring action of the thin
steel coating which surrounds the soft
lead core of the new proiectile, so that
the extensive tearing of the soft tissues
of the body, which the old lead bullets
used to cause and which often gave rise
to the'erroneous idea that explosive bull
lets were used, will not occur. The new
projectile used with the Belgian Mauser
rifle passes at 100 metres through four or
five limbs, smashes three thigh bones,
places one behind the other, and makes
small cylindrical opening in the flesh.
The entrance of the wound is generally
of less diameter than the bullet itself.
The exit is slit or star-shaped opening
with torn edges, about quarter Of an
inch wide. At longer ranges, 400 to
1900 yards, the bones are not shattered,
but bored through in clean hole or
channel. According to DR.. Bruins the
chances of healing bullet wounds will,
notwithstanding the much greater effici-
ency Of the new rifle, be much more fav-
orable than in the case of the larger
bores Commercial Advertiser.

she flashed furious look at him and
turned sharply away.
The future baronet followed, bending
above her. And Willis-somehoW or
other Willis smiled, and heaved sigh
of relief.
At the same moment he saw Uncle
Martin turning away from his soap pic
ture. A light hand had touched his arm.
"W'y, Miss Hallamln said Uncle Mar
tin, cordially. -
'Yes," said Grace Hallam, brightly.
81 saw you, Mr.. Starr, and as you didn't
see me, l thought l would make myself
known. Your Uncle and are acquain-
ted, Mr.. Starr" she said to Willis, pleas
antly. "When l made my party call on

eyes" said Uncle Martin, 1--WE be.
There want soul home but me t'other
day, and Miss Hallam and l, we had a
reel good visit. I enjoy visiting with
young ladies, if l be an old man."
"Thank youp said Grace. sHave you
seen the prize picture, Mr.. Starr9 It's
worth seeing. Let us go there. Mamma
is sittingTdown near it."
And Grace Hallam-tall, fair and
sweet-faced-led Uncle Martin straight
through the Langhams and the Seelys
and the De Puysters, Willis following,
and introduced him to her mother, and
talked aboDe the prize picture and score
of others, discussing them with all the
cordiality of her womanly heart and
shrewdness of her clear head, and
altogether gave Uncle Martin such a
delightful half-hour as he never knew
before in his life.
His tall nephew followed them closely,
silent for the most part, but stroking his
moustache with an odd smile and pecu.
liar light in his eyes.
In that half-hour he made discovery
one, in truth which was not altogether
new to him, though he had been blink
ing over it-he discovered that he had
made great mistake.
He was not the fellow to stand idle
under such knowledge.
He went with his Uncle Martin to see
the Statue of Liberty that afternoon, but
he called on Minnie at an early hour next
day.
The Englishman was there before him,
but he stayed till that titled individual
had gone, and he came away free man.
"We are not suited to each other,
Minnie" was the harshest thing he had
said.
"You're in love with Grace Hallam,"
she had responded, petulantly, and had
shed few tears.
But with fair prospect of coronet
for her own ambitious head, her tears
were not many. Minnie's heart was not
fragile article.
Willis never knew whether Grace
who did not frown on his anxious, loving
suit-had come to the rescue by intention
or accident. She would never tell him.
She laughed it all off in her gentle way,
and said she had liked Uncle Martin from
the first, and that conversing with him
was always pleasure, and then put a
tender hand on Willis mouth to close
the subject. But of course he kissed
the hand. .-[Saturday Night.

Her Party.

She was going to a party
Our little three ycar-old-
Her first party-and she chartered
OF the things she would behold,
And in her childish fancy
All the guests were dressed in gold.
She was going to party,
When there passed a breath so chill,
And a cold hand touched our darling,
And she lay so wan and ill;
But in all her pain her party
Was thought of, talked of still.
Then the hand upon our darling
Grew so heavy and so cold,
And we knew that we should lose her
Our little three-year- old;
And we saw the Shepherd waiting
To take her to the Fold.
And as we stood, heart-broken,
Beside the little bed,
/" Mother, mother, am going,
To my party now," she said:
And she smiled and looked so happy
Then the little spirit fed.
She had set forth to her party,
She had climbed the golden stair,
And the guests were clad so brightly,
And everything was fair:
For her party was in heaven,
And God had bid her there.
