Earl Russell was the first witness. He told
OF the letter purporting to come from "a very
young widow" asking for loan OF $3.50 and
inviting his lordship to visit her as often as
no liked. The letter. which has been printed
in THE SuN. is supposed to have been written
by Morland.
Earl Russell said he foolishly replied to this
letter. and that the next year. after his mar
riage engagement. he received an unsigned
letter saying that some gentleman without
credentials" had called upon Ruth Nor
land" and that he had offered her $3.50 for his
lordships letter. A slip OF paper bearing
upon 1t MRS. Morland's" address was en-
closed In this missive.
The Earl to this letter replied by o short
note; but. he says. did not send any one to
Mrs. Morland's. He wrote. however. that he
would DO glad to receive the information that
signed this letter. Your Correspondent"

MachinerT in Shoemaklng.

The chief tools OF the shoemaker then
consisted of his ham ner, his awl, his
lapstone, his knives, ani his harness for
sssetting up his boots or shoes. Tue
essentials of a shoe are the uppers, toe
sole, the counter or heel stifening and
the heel. These parts are again SUI
divided into the "vamp' for covering
the front of the foot, the large and the
small quarters for encircling the ankles,
the buFton-pieee, etc. The work OF the
shoemaker is to prepare and close these
various parts of the upper and the Innings
together, to bring into the desired shape,
to fasten them to the sole which has been
previously cut, to attach the heel, aud
then to give the various parts the desired
finish aud style. These processes in3i-
cate the lines along which the machinery
had to be applied. All the operations
have been subdivided to the minutest
detail, and 10 the performance oil OF
them machines-more or less satisfactory
ia their gork1ngs-have been devised.
The parts of the upper are now se#ed
together by machinery, and they are
pegged, sewed or screwed to the sole by
machinery. Instead OF the lapstone and
the hammer for condensing the leather
are down swiftly revolving rollers, and
instead Of the patterns for cutting out the
soIes are dies or sole shaped knives set

WISE WORDS.

A woman unemployed. is busy in mis-
chief.
A woman conceals what she does mo-
know.
He that hath a wife is always sure o.
strife.
A woman who looks much in the glass
spins little.
Never a looking glass told a woman
she was ugly.
Where women and geese are there is nc
lack of noise.
Take a wife's first advice, but not her
second thought.
We never tire Of the friendships We
form with books.
We Judge men by our Own standards;
Judge u nearest and dearest often
wrong.
But for some trouble and sorrov, we
should never know half the good there is
about US.
The golden beams of truth and the
silken cords of love, twisted together,
will draw men on with a sweet violence
whether they will or not.
How easy is the thought, IN certain
moods, of the loveliest, most uaselish
devotion. How hard is the doin ; OF tas

Thraa Kinds of Lightning.

According to Arago, the celebrated
French physicist, there are three kinds
of lightning, which he names lightning
OF the first, second and third classes.
Lightning of the first class is known as
fork lightning. That of the second
class as sheet lightning, which has NO
definite form, but seems to be a great
mass of light. It has not the intensity
OF lightning Of the first class. When it
occurs behind a cloud, it lights up its
outline only. Occasionally it Eliminates
the entire body of clouds, and appears
to come forth from the very heart of it.
Sheet lightning is very much more fire.
quent than forked lightning. Lightning
Of the third kind is called ball light
ming. Ball lightning lasts for several
seconds, and, in this respect, differs
widely from lightning of the first and
second classes, which are, in the strictest
sense, m~omentary. Detroit Free Press.

Some idea OF the growth of the coun-
try may be gained incidentally from q
study Of the census bulletin on the OPP
Grafton Of telephone companies. It ap-
pears that the total investment In enter
prises of this kind increased from $lz,-
sos 1877 in 1880 to S72. 34i, 1886 in 1890.
The number of subscribers Ia 1880 was
1854 and in 1890 there were 227 ,357,
while the number Of conversations over
the wires in the latter ysar was 49,

was "a, s05, in 1886 It had increased to

The sweetest chords, adjusted by the angels,

We pipe and pipe again our dreary music
Upon the self.same strains,
While sounds of crime and fear and desola-

Come back in sad refrains.
On through the world we go, an army
marching
With listening ears,
Each longing, signing for the heavenly
music
He never hears:
Each longing, signing for a word OF com

A word of tender praise,
A word Of love, to cheer the endless journey
o OF earth's hard, busy days.
They love u=, and we know it; this sufices
For reasons share,
Why should they pause to give that loves

With gentle cares
why should they paus,s But still our hearts
are acaing
With all the gnawing pain
OF hungry love that loags to herr the music,
And longs and longs In vain.
We love them and we know it, If We falter,
With fingers numb,
Among the unused strings Of iovss expires

We shrink within ourselves in voiceless sor-

Leaving the words unsaid,
And side by side with those we love the

In silence on we tread.
Thus on we tread. and thus each in silence
It's fate fulills,
Waiting AMI hoping for the heavenly music
Beyond the distant hills.
The only difference Of love in hesvea
From love on earth below,
Is: Here we love and know not how to
tell it,
And there we all shall know.
