self to little sedate or profound thought
Events had occurred with such rapidity
and close succession that life was really
whirling with him.
1t was only as he drew near the hotel
where the mother and daughter were
staying that he realized that, after all.
the one thing which seemed important
to him above all others was this visit.
Why, he was at loss to tell, and it
was with something of a shock that he
was compelled to confess to himself that
above all and through all the beautiful
face of Annie Templeton had been be-
fore him constantly.
Men will deceive themselves. just as
Holbrook did when he answered his
own awakening by saying: Her face
haunts me as beautiful picture | some
times see will Iinger with me for days."
The ladies met him in the public par
loT Of the hotel They welcomed him as
highly priced friend. and the trust
with which they fairly threw themselves
upon him was very pleasant.
They had waited for him anxiously,
and they were deeply interested in the
smallest detail of the business he had un-
dertaken for them They hung upon
his words as if he were to bring them
salvation
MY first STEP" he said, "will be to
take out letters of administration for
Mrs. Templeton. and this done we can
take possession of all your brothers af-
fairs.

Sir Julius Vogel, K. G. NJ. c., writes
in The Nineteenth Century (English) a
long paper to show that England will
not allow her colonies to secede. Her
interest is the federation of the empire.
At the same time it seems likely that
the greater colonies, Australia and Can
ada, will in course of a not too long time
ask for separation, so as to form indie
pendent states.
One thing or another must happen.
Either the colonies of England will be
Joined to her in closer union, with repre-
sentation in the British parliament and
share in the home government, thus
forming the most powerful empire on
the globe, or they will secede and set
up governments for themselves. Great
Britain will prefer the former, the colo
MES probably the latter, and the result
will be serious trouble. The question is
one whose solution cannot be put off
much longer.
Certainly so far rs Canada is con-
cerned, perhaps also in the settlement of
the matter in Australia, the United States
is warmly interested. Erastus Wiman
gave some significant testimony before
the United States committee on Cana
dian affairs, holding its sessions in New
York. He said the Canadians showed a
desire for close intercourse with us, and
should be recognized, if not commercial
ly, then politically. Said Mr.. Wiman:
ga political union with Canada would
increase the property value of Canada
hundredfold."

A reaction against book stufing has
started in England. A society composed
of men who have spent great part of
their lives in reading, among them men
distinguished in art, literature and the
learned professions, have formed an anti
reading society. They pledge themselves
to discourage public libraries and not to
read more than six books a year. They
frown on newspapers except those de-
voted to agriculture and sporting mat
tiers. Having read all they care to al
ready, it is easy for these distinguished
gentlemen TO SET their faces against the
reading habit. At any rate they will

He did not tell them of the suspicious

Ineligible manner, if he had thought it

Touching the murder, he informed

sible to say anything as to the result.
Finally he drew away from the sub

The Reading railroad has established a
direct freight line from Philadelphia to
London. The growth of its freight bust
ness from the west has been such that
the traffic will now sustain a freight line
across the ocean. There was already one

phia to Europe, and another is expected
to be established before the close of 1890.

A New Use for Insects.

The use of the insects for sport has
hitherto been confined to more or less
successful limitations of their bodies and
wings. We do not know that they have
had any serious Industrial purpose, un-
less the weevjls of the ship-biscuit and
the mites Of the cheese NAV be counted.
What work they did in the economy of
nature, as of bees carrying pollen end
flee infectious matter, Darwanism has
sufficiently advertised. But Lord Wal
singham announces another departure
to the chronological Society, which is
not new among the vertebrates, though
it is to the insects. We are familiar
enough with the idea OF cats catching
mice, terriers worrying rats, hounds de.
vouring foxes, and being set aside for
that purpose. Asyet we have not sue
ceeded in introducing a blue bottle who
could chase away the smaller flies. or
perambulating wood worm who could
silence the sounds of the death watch.
But there is still hope. Ten thousand
parasites were conveyed from Australia
and put upon the backs of the Califor-
nisn scale insects, which had been eat
ing up all the orange trees. The latter
were worried TO death the oranges
were saved, and the immigrants will

ter of San Francisco, N the hope of

Cats That Catch Fish.

Nicholas Long is telegraph opera
tor In the tower like station a. the West
jersey and Atlantic City railroad cross
ing. He is surrounded by miles OF
salt meadows, and has no human socie-
~. Some time ago a large cat
crossed the meadows and sought the
tower. Long welcomed her warmly.
Situated as he is, she would have been
Hospitality received had she been a pole
cat instead of household taoby. In a
few days she presented him with three
lively kittens, and he proceeded to
make provision for the whole family.
With small hand net be caught
scores of little fish in the shallow ponds
that dot the meadows, and, putting
them INTO tub. he supplied them to
the ca fresh every day. But az the
kittens grew toward maturity they
wanted more food, and their host was
not able to catch enough fish to satisfy
them.
For week the mother brooded over
this difficulty, and then she found a
remedy for it. Like a father who la
ooriously studies Greek in order that
he may teach his son to read Homer,
she first accustomed herself to cold
baths and then led or pushed the xiii
tens into the water. Now the tub has
been returned 20 its old place under
the water spout, and the four cats DO
their own fishing. They are very ex-
pert anglers, and spend hours every day
in the trigid ponds Capturing their
prey with claws and teeth.
