brightly, "and was 50 glad to come /

and trained skill, became a mountain Of
relief.

How alluring the old farm house
lookedi Every window glowing through
the failing snow sent the lights leap;ng
out to welcome them. His mother had
prepared the supper; the kettle sang ON
the kitchen stove and the smell of roast
duck filled the rooms The lare Ioarls
of the sitting room floor were scored till
they locked white as milk and polished
till they sllone like mirror The old
fashioned fireplace was filed full of
great logs, aud the ruddy glow threw
a true glamor Of enc, antment over
the plain room. On the high mantel
were brass candlesticks, and some
quaint ancient blue plates: and be-
fore the fire stood the table. its linen
fine and spotless, its solid silver re-
fiecting a score of mimic fires; the
china, with its cluster of impossible
flowers, SO transparent that the flames
seemed to leap through and through it,
aud in the low rocker by the fire the
heart and soul and life of all this COM
fort, the new wife, with her bright
hopeful, downcast eyes, her girlish,
escaping curls, beautiful in her trust
ing youth, her alb ,olutely superb health,
the perfect glow of her crimson cheeks,
the warm sllimmers of light among the
folds of her plain. rich, changeable silk
gown. She had not seen his house, had
not even inquired about 1T, but was
very proud of IFS honest poverty, and
rejoiced that life and delight consisted
not in the abundance of things man
possesseth.
James Underhill had taken care Of his
horse. and now stood by the door, look

within. He hardly dared enter. He
uncovered his head as a sens of his

warmth and delight was his own.
Thankfully he lut his hand to the latch.
She rose to meet him as he came, and
he took her in his arms
There by his own fireside, with the
storm raging without, lie gave her the
first kiss. Darling, you have Brought

dreamed. snrer than she would have

A Few Tariff Figures.

In May, 1890, our imports OF wo-
meas and childrens dress goods
amounted to 5,270, 0S3 square yards.
This was several months before the
passage OF the Mckinley bill. In
May OF the present year, MS the result
Of that bill, the import of these goods
Tell to 2,Sl3,6i5 square yards, II de-
crease OF nearly fifty pcr cent. IL
IN ght naturally b. expected that tho
foreign composition in these goods
would have put up the price OF them
TO our consumer. This result might
have happened had not the domestic
production been so stimulated by the
greater protection afforded by the Nc
Kinley bill that tho eject was really
TO reduce the price. In May, 1890,
these good were selling at an average
price Of twcnty cents per square yard.
In May OF this year the price has fall
en- to an average OF eighteen cents per
square yard. This is evidently an
other case in which The Mckinley
high prices lie has been proven to
have been made out of whole cloth.
The free trade papers are very much
exercised to explain the effect of the
increased tariff im2oled by the McKin;-
ley bill on linseed oil. Bat few
months ago they were citing the high
price OF this commodity as an illustrl-
tion OF the evil effects OF protection.
Before the enactment OF the Mckinley
i'll tho tariff was twenty-five cents u
allon, and the price rose as high as
ixty-five cents a gallon. That bill in
creased the tariff 10 thirty-two cents,
and the price has fallen to forty.five
cents a gallon. The Democratic pa
psrs now say that the increased tariff
arrested the consumption OF the article
and induced the use OF substitutes for
It. hence the price fell. But even so,
they cannot get away from the fact
that the reduction in price is primarily

TEACHERS IN COUNCIL.
Meeting Of the National Edncation.
al Association at Toronto.

The annual convention Of the Ma
tional Educational Association Of the
United States, formally opened at Tor
onto in the presence OF about 6, 600
people. Rev. G.. u. Grant, principal
of the Queens university at Kingston,
welcomed the delegates on behalf of
Canada. Addresses of welcome were
also delivered by Sir Alexander Camp
bell, lieutenant governor OF Ontario,
Hon. G. w. Ross, minister OF eduea-
cation for Ontario, and representatives
Of other sections Of the doninion.
Short responses were made by num-
Der of United States delegates, for diff
ferent portions of the country.
Among the speakers were Hon. w L.
Harris commissioner of education for
the United States; Prof. w. NJ. Beard
shear, of Iowa, for the northwest, and
Supt. A G. Lane. OF Chicago, for the
worlds Columbian exposition.
The organization was effected and
committees appointed. A paper by
Francis W. Parker, CT Chicago, upon
"The School of the Future was read
and discussion followed by Superin-
tendent Marble, of Worchester, Mass,
Inspector Hughes, of Toronto, and
others.
Over ID, 900 delegates and visitors
are in tho city from all parts of the
United States and the Dominion, and
the convention is one of the largest
ever held. There are number of de-
partment branches of the association,
which will hold daily meetings.
In the address of welcome, Principal
Grant expressed satisfaction that
Americans and Canadians were able to
trade more freely together. The Ma
tional council closed its proceedings
by electing the following officers:

ALLEGED CR0OKEDNESS.
Bank Books Said to Have Been
Changed.


Another story of queer financiering
came out at Philadelphia. The Ma
tional Bank of the Republic, of New
York recently entered suit Mt Phila-
delphia against Ephraim Turland TO
recover an amount due on certain
promissory notes, of which Turland is
the maker. In an affidavit OF the de-
Tense, filed, Turland says he never re-
ceivcd any value of any kind from the
note, it having been obtained from him
by fraud and Misrepresentation on the
part of President Kennedy of the
Spring Garden bank. At the time of
the money stringency he was one of
the directors of a bank which has since
failed, and Kennedy represented to
him that owing to the stringency of
the money market the bank was bor-
rover of cash temporarily from the
clearing house until their assets ma
tured, and in view Of this it would be
wise to strengthen loans by deposit
of special commercial paper and for
this purpose Mcfarland made the note
in question and several more on Ken
ncdy's promise that the paper would
be protected at maturity and returned.
Turland goes on to say that he knows
now that the bank at the time was
fraudulently insolvent. That Kennedy
and two other directors had borrowed
$500, 600 of the capital stock of the
bank, and in conclusion says the books
OF the bank were criminally altered to
deceive the bank examiner.

Death and destruction Follow In
Its wake.

A violent wind aud rain storm
passed over Superior Wis, wrocking
much property and killing and injur-

but short time, but did awful work.
The central object of its wrath was
the new hotel in course of conStruc-

or forty men were at work On the
structure and when the storm came
they hurried into the building Tor
shelter. A crash came and the build
ing was levoled, ontombing tho ocau-

ment were soon on the scene and be-
gan TO rescue the imprisoned work
men. At last accounts five dead and
