Facts About smyrns.

Here are some striking facts about

bers 80, $50. But of this total only a.
900 are Mohammedans. The Moham-
medans are largely outnumbered by
the Greeks. who count So, 600. exclusive
of As, 900 Greek subjects" The rail-
ways are wholly under British manage
ment, and have been constructed by
British capital. The gas-lighting Of
Smyrna is the work of British COM
pany; but-and here comes the irony
OF the situation-the municipali-
ty of Smyrna is at present wholly
composed OF Ottoman subjects.
To sum up the position, Smyrna is, a.
far as population goes, Greek city; as
far as public works with their capital
outlay are concerned, an English city;
but as regards government . Turkish
city. The Turk Is the incubus. As a
commercial port Smyrna the Beautiful
has several great advantages over Con.
stantinople, but so long as the Turk
blocks the way the vast development Of
which Smyrna is capable will be re-
tarded. 1t is the same all over the

you had called her the angel, instead OF
the widow, you would have been right. "
'sHow do you know? You have not
seen the widow yet. If her headache is
better, she will join us this evening"

Mrs. Henderson to hurry through her
headache on my account. I am not
anxious to see her."
That night there were number OF
friends assembled in the pretty draw
ing-room. Ezra and Miss Howard
occupied sofa in a corner, seemingly
deep in a conversation which was
brought suddenly to a close by a
murmur of admiration running through
the room Ezra raised his eyes, and
beheld a vision of rare loneliness, in
violet sillx, with camellias in her hair
and ca her bosom.
81 wonder if that's the widow" he
thought.
Yes, that was the widow, and before
he could realize it he was presented.
Very gracefully she bowed, and coolly
seated herself between him and her
cousin.
Ezra sat back, feeling very uncom-
Portable, and the handsome widow
entered into a spirited conversation
spirited on her part, at least.
At first he answered in monosyllables.
He tried to look beyond the widow and
gather courage from the loving brown
eyes of Miss Howard, but in vain. His
eyes were met by the laughing blue
ones of the widow, and he could look
| no farther.
'I'm goner, and there's no help for
it. It's fate! They always told me I
would marry widow" were the
thoughts that flashed through Ezra's
brain.
| I'm her hair she wore white camellia,

hummed Ezra next morning, as ht
lighted his after-breakfast cigar.
"Ha, ha! my friend, you've changed
your colors. Yesterday you were doing
homage to brown eyes; to-day it is true
blue. Why is this thus?" cried Ray,
with a laugh.

father, who was acquainted with the
ladies, into her confidence.
Mr.. Campbell looked upon his moth
erless daughter as the apple of his eye,
and whatever she did, no matter how
absurd, he thought perfection.
Mrs Henderson, the youthful widow,
did not make her appearance in the
family circle on the day of her arrival,
nor the next day.
''She was confined to her room with
q severe headache" Stella said.
Ezra breathed sigh of relief, and
devoted himself to the pretty Miss
Howard. Indeed, before the evening
of the second day he no longer dreaded
the appearance of the widow.
Miss Howard was a pretty, innocent
little creature, with pair of loving
brown eyes that contrasted strangely
with her golden hair and pearly skin.
Ezra imagined that there was . fright
ened look in the dark eyes, and that the
little lady was afraid of him.
Well perhaps she was.

Stella, when she gained ap opportunity.

''Afraid of whom, Ezra?" asked Stella,
Ezra's cousin, who had entered the
room in time to hear his last remark.
An explanation followed, and as she
contemplated her cousin, there was
CLEAN of mischief in her eye. A few
days later Ezra unceremoniously ac-
costed Miss Campbell, saying:

"What, Ezra?"
'sWhy, your inviting that widow to
come here; here where I ami
Ezra, don't make a goose OF your
SELF" and Stella seated herself by the
side of Ray Barker.
Ray and Stella were betrothed lovers,
and had no sympathy for Ezra.
Ray, die! you ever hear rational
man talk insthat strain?"
Ray laughed. =
"Oh, Ray can afford to laugh" said
Ezra. "He's taken in and done for, and
imagines there's no danger. You'll
have to keep strict watch over him
though, for all that, for I tell you,
Stella, a man is not accountable for his
acts when a widow is within mile OF

INFORMATION ABOUT WESTERN
CANADA.

Owing to the worldwide interest now
taken in the fertile provinces of West
.ern Canada, many of our readers are
anxious to know more about the lands,
climate, resources and chances open to
intending settlers in the Canadian Coun-
try. The reputation of these prairie
lands has been fairly earned by their
enormous yields and natural adaptable

are unrivaled in productiveness.

Stella screamed, and turning round
saw her cousin in the doorway.
He had overheard it all.

the timid widow could not be induced to
appear again before Ezra, not even tc
say goodbye.
"Oh, what must he think of me?" she
thought.
Not many months afterward, Ezra
made it his business to call on the
young widow, and after protractei

can be no escape, that there is and can
be no just title to an exclusive posses

The majority of men in civilized COM

A Check ON Railway Engineers.

Fixing the responsibility is q great
thing in case of railway accident.
With this idea in view a number of
American railroads, says a scientific
journal, are introducing a newly invent
ed instrument. 1t consists of a dial
which shows the actual speed the train
is making, in addition TO recording this
information on chart for preservation.
In its action it is dependent upon the
power transmitted directly from the
axle. and can readily be adjusted to
compensate for any wear of the wheels
that takes place, This instrument acts
as check upon engineers by accurately
showing the speed Of the train at all
parts Of the road. Many of the acct
dents to trains are due. to too rapid run
ming on curves and difficult parts Of the
road, and this device by its action is in
tended to do away with this evil.
