Harmony Tho Mastor of tho Magioians had
for its theme the story of Daniel and the
present volume. that of Lazarus. Whether
this venture of Mr.. and Mrs. Ward into the
field of the old-made-new is entirely success
fus lies with the individual opinion of the
reader. Many brilliant qualities must be
conceded, with accurate scholarship and
spirit Of reverence and exaltation. But the
very reserve and brevity Of the New Tesla
ment history gives it its power and one ex-
periences feeling of vague rebellion when
the light of modern research is turned upon

The Winds, the Woods and the Wandefer.
By Lily f. Wesselhoeft. Boston: Roberts
Brothers; Portland: Loring. Short g. Har-
mon.) Mrs. Wesselhoeft calls her story "A
Table for Children" and evidently thinks
realism in juvenile literature. as well as in
that written for grown folks, may destroy
the imagination to some degree, in poetical
little souls. So she gives all the practical
element in her boy hero's life by showing
him as running away from hardship. sailing
on fishing schooner, enduring ship-wreck
and life among the Indians. with tuneful
accompaniment of personifed winds and
trees and stars. A pretty story for children,
with the happy ending such tales shonld
always have.

The farmers of this State will be especially
interested in that clause of the tariff bill
which gives bounty of two cents pound
on all the maple sugar produced. This pecu-
liar and rather unexpected provision of the
tariff law must be credited to Senator Ed
munds, who insisted that the maple sap
boilers of Vermont ought to be treated the
same as the sugar planters of Louisiana.
The House of Representatives objected, but
finally yielded to the Senate. The provision
of the new law is that on and after July LIST,
1891, and until July LIST, 1895, there shall be
paid from any moneys in the treasury not
otherwise appropriated, to the producer Of
sugar from maple sap produced within the
United States, bounty of two cents a
pound. In order to get the benefits of the
bounty the Maine farmers will be obliged to
proceed formally. The producer of sugar, to
be entitled to the bounty, must file prior to
July LIST of each year, with the commissioner
of internal revenue at Washington, notice
of the place of production, with general
description of the machinery and methods to
be employed by him, with an estimate of the
amount of sugar proposed to be pro-
duced in the current or next ensuing
year, including the number Of maple
trees to be tapped With this notice
must go an application for license to pre-
duce maple sugar to be accompanied by a
bond Ia penalty, and with sureties to be
approved by the commissioner of internal re.
venue, conditioned that all rules and regula-
lions which the commissioner may prescribe
for the manufacture of the sugar, shall be
observed faithfully. The Commissioner will
then issue license good for one year. I'm
der this license the sugar maker will be en-.
titled to the two cents pound upon any
quantity of sugar less than 500 pounds that
he may make.

sentiment and symbolism to decorate plain
facts, still ribbons and gliding are bright and

Many ysars ago it was the correct thing
for monarch to wear the identical crown
worn by his predecessors. A king never was
formally crowned on the day when he sue
ceeded to the throne, but the ceremony was
always postponed for week or two in order
to have the crown thoroughly renovated.
But there is no doubt that the custom of
handing down the same crown from genera
ton to generation had its disadvantages. In
the first place, it rarely happens that two
kings have heads of precisely the same size,
and as a rule the crown which fitted the
original king for whom it was made never
fitted any of his successors, but was always
either too large or too small. Nothing looks
more absurd than very small crown cooked
ON the head of very large king, except, per-
haps, a crown which is much too large for the
wearer and continually falls over his ears
There was, it is true a certain reverence for
antiquity and Inherited rights shown by this
custom of wearing an ancient ancestral crown,
but it need not he supposed that any monarch
really liked it, No matter how carefully u
king might have his fathers crown secured
and repaired, he always felt that he was
wearing another mans clothes, SO to speak.
AS for Queen Victoria, it is well known that
she ordered an entire new set of crowns when
she came to the throne, remarking as she
gave the order that she had as much affection
for some of her relatives as anybody need
have, but as for wearing anything that had
been on the 'ead of that 'orrid King William,
she would go to her grave bareheaded first.

A novel and somewhat scientific scheme for
relieving ladies of their purses has been sue
cessfully carried out by gang of thieves
along Milwaukee avenue and adjoining
streets. The scheme is to give the victim a
violent electric shock, thus temporarily par
alyzing her.
The most recent victim was Mrs Jacobsen,
a professional nurse. She was returning
home. AS she passed in the shadow of a
building two men brushed against her. One
of them touched her wrist with a piece of
metal. She at once received violent cleo
trio shock that caused her to let go her purse
and several bundles, and sent her Keeling
against the building. She was so dazed for
the moment that she did not realize what had
happened.
As soon as she recovered from the effects
OF the shock she began to look around for
her purse and bundles They were not in
sight. Then it dawned upon her that she
had been robbed. The two men who had
passed her were just turning on Milwaukee
avenue Quickening her steps, she followed
them, hoping to meet an officer that she
might have them placed under arrest. At
Chicago avenue she quit the pursuit and ran
to the police station and told what had oc-
Cured. An officer was sent out with her,
but the men could not be found-Chicago

A Drumming Fish.

At a recent meeting of the Berlin PhysiO-
logical society Professor Moebius described
peculiar tish-Balistes aculeatus-which he
had met with in Mauritius. While on a
visit to that island he observed a bright,
blue colored fish in the shallow waters of the
harbor, which, when caught and held in the
hand, emitted from its interior a most strik-
ing noise, like that of drum. A careful ex-
animation of the animal failed to reveal any
obvious movements, with the exception Of
one part of the skin, lying just beyond the
giltslit, which was in continuous vibration.
The portion of the skin which vibrates
stretches from the cavicle to the bronchial
arch; it is provided with four large, bony
plates and lies over the swim bladder, which
in this fish for the most part projects out of
the trunk muscles. Behind the clavicle is a
curiously shaped long bone, which is attached
to the clavcle at one point in such way as
to form lever with two arms The long
arm of this bony lever is imbedded in the
ventral trunk muscles and is capable of easy
movement to and fro. The short arm slides
during this movement over the rough inner
side of the clavicle and gives rise to a crack
ling noise. This noise is then intensified by
the swim bladder, which lies in close prox-
unity to the short arm of the lever and acts
as resonator. Newcastle Chronicle.

Secretary Window appeared be-
fore the Republican members of the
Senate silver committee Friday to
explain and advocate his bill. Mr..
Window made one point very clear,
and that is that he is a very earnest
advocate of the gold standard inter-
est. He wants silver certificates
issued for bullion, redeemable alone
in bullion, because he thinks it
would make the certificates more
valuable than if redeemable in silver
dollars and to require their redemp-
ton in gold might seriously embar-
rass the government. His plan is
the only way, he thinks, to protect
the credit of the country, and he
would oppose any measure giving
holders of the certificates option on
the currency. This means that silver
must not be put on a par with gold,
and that If silver certificates are re-
deemable alone in bullion nobody
will want the bullion except at a dis
count, and gold operators may de
press the value Of silver certificates.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Window
will not have his way about this
matter, and if silver certificates be
the plan adopted that they be made
redeemable in any currency the gov
eminent may have that is on par
with gold. This will make the sill
yer certificates equal to silver green
backs and national bank currency or
gold, and the credit of the govern
ment cannot suffer, but will be en-
HANGED, because it will always have
the silver and gold on hand for the
redemption of every certificate
issued. Window and Harrison be-
long to the gold sharks and currency
manipulators, and the country will
get no relief if their counsel ODtrGis

Conditions Under Which Foreign YES
sells Will BE Allowed to Fish.
HALIFAX, N. s., April 23.-United
States Consul General Frye has been in
formed by Hon. Robert Bond, colonial
secretary of Newfoundland, that the
government will allow all foreign yes
sells to take out licenses, good for three
weeks from date, for the purchase of
bait in Newfoundland for the ensuing
fishing season on payment of fee of 81
per ton. On subsequent entry into ports
for bait supply, new licenses must be
taken out and the same fees paid. Light
dues will also be payable as usual by all
vessels entering ports.
All vessels are restricted to the pur-
chase of one barrel of bait per ton. A
second license shall not be granted with
in three weeks of the date of the first
license. When a license is granted to a
vessel, all customs officers in Newfound-
land are to be notified by telegraph of
that fact, so as to prevent the vessel OBJ
tanning a second license within the three
weeks. When a foreign vessel puts in
for bait special officers are to be EN-
ployed to watch that she does not get
more than the quantity named in her
license.
