Reflections.

The kind word, costing the giver but
little, may make glad lifetime
A word may be an illuminated
thought and become the most treasured
Of keepsakes
Some there are whose kindness is 30
delicately rendered as to make it beyond
description.
That creed that is lived out In freely
caring for others and doing kind deeds
IL not to be doubted.
The heart has language that records
deeds as we'll as words, according to ito
own Interpretation.

The Joy Of It.

Tho Joy OF It.
Thanksgiving day is almost gone,
And peace reigns overhead,
And mothers joy-her own sweet boz
Is trundled off to bed.
Yet what are those unearthly sounds
That pierce the midnight air?
And what's that throbbing noise we hear
Come running down the stairf
It is our little household pet,
Who losses upon high
And wages an unequal fight
With turkey and mince pie.

WHO Is BENNETT.
Boston Newspapers Say Something
About Him.

Boston newspapers contain articles
concerning the Debenture Investment
Company of that city phich was re-
Gently discovered to be a fraud. In
letters written by one Of the swIndlers the
name Bennett" appears and this allusion
wa thought or sufficient import
ancs to suggest that possibly
Sec -etary OF State Charles Il. Bennett was
the person referred to. Secretary Bennett
is in Montreal, and will probably be back
in this city Saturday evening.
hen the letter was discovered the
question arose as to the identity OF
''Bc nnett." No one by that name was
known in connection with the invest
Eeut company, and the only person
who was known 20 be at all intimate with
any OF the members of the company was
the Rhode Island secretary OF ate, who
knew, in general way, the president.
As the company had been operating in
several States, the assumption was that in
try ny for charter the managers
OF the investment company had
met Mr.. Bennett and had obtained a
charter from him for the Equitable Trust
Company, speaks referred to in The letter
Sec c,etary Bennett will remark this part
OF he business plan when no returns to

DUNRAVEN'S YACHT.
Aluminium viii Probably Be Literally
Used in its Construction.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-According 10 the
Evening Post today, it is probable that
the next yacht sent to compete for the
Americas cup by Lord Dunraven will dif-
fer little in shape from the Valkyrie, but
will likely show some change in sails.
Continuing, tho Evening Post says: zone
of the important features about racing
yachts Is the character of the bottom and
when Vigilant used Tobin bronze for the
purpose II was thought she gained de-
cided advantage. Since then the Ysrrow
torpedo launches, with bottoms of alu
minium alloyed with six per cent. copper
have been found to be successful as far
as a reduction OF friction is concerned.
This fact has been taken into cousidera-
tion by Mr.. Watson, at once, according to
a prominent yachtman who has been in
England lately, and the latter declared
today that il has been decided 10 build the
challenger of that alloy, or another some-
what similar.
Other advantages OF using aluminium
lie not SO much in its lightness "a in its
strength and resistance to corrosion. 1t
Is said by the aluminium manufacturers
that vessel OF ell alum.-
mum and copper or better still of new
nickel aluminium plates, has the mini
mum of friction, which is one of the most
desirable features for the bottom of afast
