rather to his lawyers satisfaction, he pur- posed going to Scotland and carrying away his beautiful bride. In the meantime he cast about for a residence.
 Somewhat Bohemian in his nature, Carris- ton had no intention of settling down just yet to live the life of an ordinary moneyed En- glishman. His intention was to take Made line abroad for some months. He had fixed upon Cannes as desirable place at which to winter. but having grown somewhat tired of hotel life wished to rent furnished house. He had received from an agent to whom he had been advised to apply the refusal of . house which. from the glowing description given, seemed the one above all others he wanted. As an early decision was insisted upon my impulsive young friend thought nothing of crossing the Channel and running down to the south of France to see, with his own eyes. that the much-lauded place was worthy of the fair being who was to be its temporary mistress.
 He wrote to Madeline, and told her he was going from home for a few days. lie said he should be travelling the greater part of the time, SO it would be no use of her writing to him until his return. He did not reveal the object of his journey. Were Madeline to know it was to choose winter residence at Cannes. s.e would be filled with amazement. and the innocent deception he was still keep ing up would not be carried through to the romantic end which he pictured to himself.
 The day before he started for France Made line wrote that her aunt was very unwell, but said nothing as to her malady causing any alarm. Perhaps Carriston thought less about the old Scotch widow than her relationship and kindness to Miss Rowan merited. He started on his travels without any forebod- ings of evil.
 His journey to Cas.nes and back was hrr- ried-he wasted no time on the road. but was delayed for two days at the place itself be- fore he could make final arrangements with the owner and the present occupier of the house. Thinking he was going to start every moment he did not write to Madeline--at the rate at which he meant to return a letter posted in England would reach her almost as quickly as if posted at Cannes.
 He reached his home, which for the last few weeks had been Oxford, and found two letters waiting for him. The first dated on the day he left England. was from Madeline. It told him that her aunt's illness had sud- denly taken fatal turn-that she had died that day, almost without warning. The sec ond letter was anonymous.
 It was written apparently by woman, and advised Mir. Carr to look sharply after his lady-love or he would find himself left in the llrch. The writer would not be surprised to hear some fine day that she had eloped with a certain gentleman who should be nameless This precious epistle, probably an emanation of feminine spite. Carriston treated as it de served-hc tore il up and threw the pieces to the wind.

Where Dew Comes From.


 An English scientist, John Aitkin, F. K. S.. demolishes the popular notion that dew falls from the clouds. It is no such celestial visitor. but an exuda ton from growing vegetation itself. He has carried out series of experi- ments which remorselessly exclude all doubt. for even the leaf inclosed in an air tight vessel has shed from its own veins the bright translucent drop. One statement which any inquirer may verify for himself is that these liquid crystals are always found poised at the extremity of vein and in position where they could not have remained under the laws of gravity if poured downward from the air.
 The Al. GOO. 900 gallons of spirit made in the United Kingdom in 1889 were mostly used in England. and naarly three-fourths of this vast quantity Wal drank as beverage.

The Fertilizer Lava question hav
ing been raised by company engaged in
the manufacture and sale Of commercial fer
tilizers in the city Of Baltimore as the proper
construction Of section l of the act Of 1890,
chapter 1897, the Attorney General has given
the following opinion to the Comptroller:
81 am Of opinen that the Interpretation
placed upon 1t by your department is clearly
right Any other construction would make
the law Oi little or no value. Few manufac
tured fertilizers are sold, | suppose, at so
low price as $40 per ton, and the language
OF the section OF the act in question must
mean fertilizers that sell for as much as SO
per ton. Fertilizers sold for less than that
price are. not within the act, but all that
command that price or more are intended
10 be included within its terms. The con
struction sought to be given by the com
pany is extremely narrow and unreasonable
and cannot be accepted as correct"
The section In question provides shat the
term fertilizer as used in this act shall be
held to mean any commercial fertilizer or
any article, substance or mixture sold, offer
ed or exposed for sale for manural purposes
within this State, of which the selling price
shall be ten dollars per ten of two thousand
pounds" The point raised by the company
is that fertilizers that sell for $40 and up
ward do not strictly come within the pro
visions of the act.
