Three causes Of earthquakes have
been assigned. The first is that the
earthquake is caused by an upward
movement of the superficial layers Of
the earth's crust induced by expansion
Of steam or gas in volcanic districts
In support of this, it is claimed that
earthquakes are common in volcanic
districts and rare elsewhere Mount
st. Helena is an extinct volcano, be-
yond doubt. There is the subsistence
theory, which holds that the continu-
GUS contraction of the earth in cool
ing produces subterranean assures,
faults and landSlides. The new theory
is that an earthquake is terrestrial
thunderstorm, in proof of which many
good arguments have been adduced.

/ the crowded stairway, in the hall"
way, where stood the six stout farm
ers who had borne in on their shout
ders the bier on which lay the VIC
tim.
"Ah, poor childw / said, while my
heart throbbed quickly chow gladly
would | give my life to restore yours
so nobly so generously given"
Then, in very love for her-she
seemed near and dear to me in death
I leaned over her, and taking one
Of the dear little hands within my
own, kissed it, and replaced it gently
under the white sheet from which 1t
had escaped.
There was a hustle in the doorway
as Of some one passing through the
crowd, and sounds as Of sobbing and
bitter weeping.
"Make way for the parents" was
heard from the doorway, and the
eager crowd fell back respectfully, as
plain farmer and his wife came
forward, filling the air with their
cries The sheet was turned back
from the features Of the dead girl,
and
What! Was / mad? Shrek after
shrek burst from me as l flung up
my arms wildly and fell PROSTATE
upon the body of my own loved one
Nellie!
What is there for me to add to my
sad tale? Need 1 tell you Of the
weary months passed in delirlum, the
coming to, and the realization Of the
horrible reality?
But of Nellie-my own little darl-
ing. 1t seems that she had gone to
Marketflelds that day. and had in
tended to return upon my train to
Linden. While waiting at the depot,
she learned that the train was two
hours late, and then decided to walk
down the track, and then off by a
little side road, which led to the
house Of friend. Then, as the time
for the coming of the train came
around, Nellie started for the depot,
accompanied by a young boy who
carried a lantern. While walking the
track, and within a half mile of the
depot, they discovered the broken
rall, and Nellie bid the boy run in
haste to the depot with the tidings.
"She heard the whistle Of the
train" said the boy, afterward, "far
down through the hills, and she
just stopped for one minute, while
she caught her hand to her heart, and
her face turned as white as thesnow
Rum rum Jamie!' she cried out, as
though her very heart was breaking.
'Oh, run! run! for Heavens sakep
And with one awful cry, such as l
never heard before, she turned and
fled down the track, toward the COM
ing train, away into the darkness"
When they found her lying at the
side of the track my heart grows
sick as l write these last words-they
mistook her for young girl of the
neighborhood, who had been seen on
the track shortly before. OF the joys
of the parents at the discovery of the
mistaken identity, and of my deSola-
tion, / need not speak. Many years
have come and gone, but time does
not seem to soften my grief, nor eff
face from my mind the vivIdness of
my last ride to to Markethelds. N.

James Stuart. The deputation urged that
light railways. similar 10 those in uss and

built by tho governments In order TO give
employment to many people now badly In
need OF work, and that vestries be fur
nished with sufficient financial assistance
to enable them to deal with the unsm ploysd
paople Of the city. Gladstone said he had
the fullest sympathy for the unemployed.
Dist ess caused by want Of work Ia not con-
fined to London or Great Britain. but OK
listed with greater intensity in other corn-
tries. Tho dcrutation appeared sanGuins
Of almost omnipotencs Of the government,
but the latter could not go beyond limits.
Gladstone was in favor OF the govern
mont becoming proprietor of the raj lways
In order to control railway rates, but the
commission which had the matter in chalRe
had decided against II. The government,
however. could promise nothing beyond
full inquiry into ell practical suggestions.
