The Prince of Wales held a grand recep.

thousand persons, all more or less of some

Of the Prince Of Wales, the Premier was

flock of sheep, and he knew that the
price of wool was low. He had always
voted the Republican ticket, but he was
moved by the eloquence of the free trade

prophecy was true. He voted for "Cleve-
land tariff reformn--not only voted the
Democratic ticket, but freely boosted

A mysterious Chamber at the Pasteur In
stitute.

Tn a small dark room, whose tempera-
tire is never allowed to vary, which is
never swept nor busted for fear of arous-
ing Tranquil microbes, and whose door
is never open except when absolutely
necessary, are arranged rows of drying
BOTTLES. in which hang bits OF the mar
row. These bottles are marked with the
degree of violence of the rabies from
which the animal died, and with the
date when the marrow was put up to dry.
Here attendants are preparing the veal
broth and the gelatines in which the
infected marrows will be cultivated.
Thus as one goes from room to room

MRS. Gladstene,s Charities.

In 1889 she married William Ewart
Gladstone, whose great genius already
foreshadowed his future eminence. The
same day her younger sister married
Lord Lyttleton. Those who were eye
witnesses of that double wedding, and
all the wonderful festivities in the vii
lage, are becoming few indeed. In her
married life Mrs. Gladstone found occu-
patton to the full. She was always the
true and careful mother, who would not
give over her duties to another, even to
the best of nurses. She was devoted to
her husband in his incessant political
tolls. She did not need to look around
her for work. Still her assistance was
from the first prompt to the furtherance
of any schemes where a helping hand
was needed.
Mrs. Gladstone soon became centre for
phiIan thropic work of all kinds.
and Mr. Gladstone started Newport Mar
ket Refuge, which is now carried on at
Westm mister, with an industrial school
attached. Begun in Soho in 1863 it was
Mr. Gladstone's idea, for he saw many
friendless wanderers as he went at night
between the House of Commons and his
home. Mrs Gladstone threw herself in
to his scheme, and the work was started
with an efficient committee. From the
beginning Mr.. Gladstone has been presi-
dent and his wife q a regular visitor The
object of the refuge is to give shelter to
persons out of work and in temporary dis

difficulties, and to find fresh employment
