Whereas, there is no officer whose
business it is to ascertain whether goods

with the Collector of Customs and Port
Surveyor and report to this Council as to
the ACCESSIBILITY OF creating a new officer

He Made a Mistake.

To j. S.-We think that the young
lady's indignation has just foundation
in your impertinence-that is, if your
own statement of the affair be taken as
the basis of facts. You had no business
to hint that she used cosmetics even if
you did honestly think So" Her ring
ing for a glass of water and offering that
and her handkerchief to you to enable
you to test. the matter on the spot by
washing her cheeks was a masterstroke.
She did sensible thing in putting the
question beyond doubt by rubbing her
face, when you declined her offer, with
her damp handkerchief, and then did a
most becoming thing when she rang for
the servant to show you out, stating that
you wished to retire. That was well
done. Such spirited girl as that can
have no need of cosmetics. You made d
mistake and must now abide the conse-
quences. That seems to US about the
whole sum and essence of the natter

A VALENTINE.

Accept, dear wife, this little token.
And if between the lines you seek
You'll find the love I've often spoken
The love I'll always love 10 speak.
Our little ones are making merry
With unco ditties rhymed in jest,
But in these lines, though awkward very,
The genuine articles expressed!
You are so fair and sweet and tender,
Dear, brown eyed little sweetheart mine,
AS when, a callow youth and slender,
asked to he your valentine.
What though these years of ours be fleeting?
What though the years of youth be flown?
I'll mock old KronOs with repeating,
III love my love and her alone"'
And when | fall before his reaping,
And when my suffering speech is done,
Think not my love is dead or sleeping,
But that it waits for you to come.
So take, dear love, this little token,
And if there speaks in any line
The sentiment III fain have spoken,
Say, will you kiss your valentine?

Alexander Dumas, the great French
story writer, was very fond and proud of
his son Alexander, who also became a
famous author. His regard for him was
increased apparently, by the fact that
the son had a very good appreciation of
the value of money-a quality which the
father did not possess in the slightest de-
gree.
A recent writer of recollections relates
that he once visited Dumas at st. Ger
main. He had just been bitten in the
hand by his dog and was unable to write,
but was debating a novel,
His son went out as the visitor came in.
Alexander has just left me-" said the
father. What good fellow that boy
is! Just fancy, this morning l received
$50 francs. He said to me, I'll take 90
francs of it. l didn't quite hear and
thought he was going to leave me only
so. So called out, Hold on! Let me
have 100 of it at leastr But tell you
I'm only going to take 5Or he called out.
oh, OH said l, 4 thought you were GO
ing to take the 600. Well, take as much
as you want"
And Dumas added proudly, "What a
golden hearted fellow Alexander is, to

st. Dunstan and the Devil.

One of the most famous smiths of the
Weald was st. Dunstan, archbishop of
Canterbury. Mayfeld in Sussex is the
site of an ancient archiepiscopal palace,
and here, according to some, took place
the terrific encounter between st. Dun
stan and the devil. At any rate the an

to have belonged to the saint are still
preserved at Mayfeld palace.-Gentle-

A Story of a Painter.

Rossetti was both romantic and
shrewd, and among Yankee spectators
there are few keener men of business
than was this childlike genius. Yet he
treated the purchasers of his pictures
with scant courtesy. George Rae, bank
er and a fine judge of art, had bought
several of them, but he objected to the
price Rossetti had set on THE Bride.
A few days after he returned, and Ros-
setti greeted him sarcastically.
What do you want for your picture?''
asked Rae.
Three hundred guineas."
"Why, you offered it to me for 250!"
II really don't remember" was the
lordly reply; perhaps l did. But why
didn't you take it? Well, you may have

any use to you, Rae, you're welcome to
them?'-Harry Cutters Preferences"

AN EXPERTS VIEWS.
Mr.. Croes Says the City Can Be Easily
Drained
With the Exception of the Flats, Where
Difficulty VIII BE eountered-His
Experience and Observations.

]. James r. Croes, the expert sanitary
engineer employed by the city at a cost of
81 800 to inspect the sewerage system of
the city and report on the feasibility OF the
proposed gravity sewer, arrived in the
city Friday and at once began work.
He was seen at the Knutsford hotel last
evening, where he is stopping during his
stay in this city.
Mr.. Croes is one of the most competent
men in his line in the country, having
made this branch of engineering his life
study. He has naturally acquired great
deal OF information in underground by
dranics thai would escape the observation
OF an engineer whose time is occupied In
other branches of the profession.
Life is too short, - he said to a HER
AID reporter, ''for any engineer TO learn
much from his own experience. As one
Of our most competent engineers said,
We learn more from the blunders oil
Others than from their successes. What
ever efficiency may have IN this partlcu-
lar line did not come from my own ex-
ploratiOns IN field work, but from study
ing the reports that are given of the feats
and failures in the journals devoted to
hydraulical engineering Having chosen
this field for my life work, l am naturally
attracted by any departure from the old
methods or new problems that are met
with in the designing of systems where
there are natural barriers to overcome. -
Are there any great difficulties to
overcome in the drainage OF this city?''
& have been pretty we'll over the
ground, and after consulting the records
III Engineer Doremus' office, | find that
two-thirds OF the area of the city is easily
disposed OF, while the other one-thiEd has
its difficulties, flats TO the south being
nearly on level with the river, and there
being but a slight fall TO the lake. =
Mr.. Croes complimented the system
adopted by City Engineer Doremus in
keeping his records and said he knew OF
no Office where they were kept in better
shape.
MIR. Croes is also an expert on water
works engineering. and the two branches
being so closely allied in their practical
workings and largely governed by the
same laws of hydraulics, knowledge Of
the one is gained by the study of the
other.
Civil engineers are familiar with his
name as an authority on the construction
of water works. 1t was he who collected
and compiled the statistics of the con
struction of the water works Of over one
thousand cities aud towns which were
published by George B. Frost, editor OF
the ERgiReeriRQ Meas.
