Eugene is by far the most interest
Ing of these eSiles. II can go to

forgotten to fear her. But these visits
are not pleasant. Years ago the French

III. the most ~cXtravaGant and frivo-
louS woman In Europe, spending $40, 900
a day for household expenses ana
5000. 900 francs a year on Jewels and
wardrobe, she was the bestowed
woman in France. The people raj
after her carriage and cheered her to
the echo.
She was a great beauty then and
fascinating, Now she is old, almost
doubled with rheumatism, her face is
wrinkied. her step infirm. her famed
golden hair is white, n the once
best-dressed of France is robed
entirely in black. She requires the aid
of two stout canes when she walks.
The French people have little TO fear
from her now. yet she is watched
ceaselessly by the police from the time
that she first puts foot upon French
soil, u%ntifsthe steamer that is taking
her back to England is well on its way.
Eugenie's English home Is where she
spends most of her time, for there are
her treasures. the emblems which con-
meet the Borrowing present with the
radiant glories of the past. She has a
beautiful villa on the French part of
the Riviera at Cape ST. Martin, where
she spends the winter months. Her
English home at Marlborough is about
Ell hours ride from London, and is
close to Aldershot and S%andhurst. 1t
is in one of the prettiest districts of
England. From the small railway
station can be seer the spires of St.
Michael's Chapel. which IS really a
great n.ausrrsurn. for there lie the
bones of tho last Emperor Napoleon
and of the Prince Imperial. the only son
of Eugene, killed by the Zulus in the
African campaign.
This was the sorrow which robbed
the world of its loveliness for the eX-
Empress. She could stand the dis
grace and humiliation OF being driven
from the throne of France. and the
death in exile of her stupid but adorine
husband, but when her great pride
was slain thousands of miles away by

Sir Walter ReSant,
What emotions does color call forth ?
l have always supposed that color ap-
peals to every one differently. Some
men are certainly quite Indifferent to
color, some are profoundly affected by
color For instance, to AXE my own
case. l think that blue affects me the
most, and of all the infinite varieties,
blue of two s~.ades-one. the deep. dark
blue which belongs to a certain kind of
pansy. ! know nothing which can be
compared with this hue, 1t is like an
ocean of lovely thoughts: 1t suggests
possibilities beyond limit. l am never
tired of looking into this color, and /
know no other flower which possesses
that shade. If one We're to gaze into 1t
long enough / am certain that one would
fall into a trance and see things un-
earthly. If ever ] try to hypnotic my
self, it will be by the help of the dark
blue pansy. The other shade of blue
which owe me is the pure. sweet blue
of the nemophila. 1t is one of the flow
ers of love, but love pure and holy. not
%sensuous or passionate. Of other shades,
| the crimson of the linum rubrum, the
the pink and the white of the apple
blossom, the white of the jessamine-
no two whites are exactly alike-the
tender green of the young spring leaf
the sea green of the tangled seaweed-
all these appeal TO me-; / find them al
eXquisitely beautiful.

Two characters in one Of Mr.. kipling's
ballads talk of
-Four things greater than all things are:
Women. and horses, and power, and
war.
Here you have pretty well Mr.. Kip
ling's own tastes and the larger cate
gories into which his work falls, except
that the order is to be reversed; when
you come to woman, she is treated in a
vastly diminishing perspective. Woman
does not occupy here the important
place she usually gets in romance. No
body is tied to her apron string; there
is no particular desire to bask in her
presence--the men have too man. other
engagements; there is little or M affec-
ionat lingering upon the graces of her
person, or attire, or the erratic and cap
tivating traits of her mind. The general
masculine o n toward her is the diSillu-
stoned %gallantry of men who would
much rather make their escape to the
club than linger. The author and his
characters are alike mans men, in
the definite sense of hat term. He him
self gives us to understand that he
would rather sit put with Mulvaney
and a pipe-we fancy a strong and black
one-and listen to the "reminiscences of

The Englishman and the lrishman look
ed at each other: the Anglo Saxon was
~impcnetrably cool: the Celt was flushed
and angry. They might have been on the
native quickness of perception and his ex-

had asked for Iris, the doctor had got rid
of him by means of 4 lie. After this dis

his out of his way. Reasoniugin this rapid
manner, Lord Harry let one otfense pass
in his hcadlong eagerness to resent anoth-
er. He Instantly left Mountjoy. Again
the carriage ratified back along the street,
but it was stopped before it reached Mr..
Nimpany's door.
Lord Harry knew the people whom ha
had to deal with, and took measures to APP

coachman received orders to look out for

thinking Of the enviabie proprietor of the
diamond pin.
At the unexpected appearance of Iris,
Lord Harry forgot every consideration
which ought to have been present to his
mind at that critical moment.
He advanced to her with both hands
held out in cordial greeting. She signed
to him contemptnoussy to stand back
and spoke in tones cautiously lowered,

The Castle of III, North wind.

80 NJ ~ - W Ius
Far in the Northland's icy cline,
Where winds do freezing blow;
unaltered by the hand of Time,
Rise Norway's hills OF snow.
Still on their highest peak yet sways,
The north winds castle old;
While ever meath its arches strays
The north wind fierce and cold.
Through windows in the ancient stone,
In wlldness doth 1t roar;
Then, softly doth 1t sigh and moan;
Then roareth as before.
Howls dismal through the airy halls,
The north winds icy breath;
And loudly ON MollIs calls,
Who's wrapt in silent death.
Through massive doorways crowned with
snow,
Ne'er seen by mortal eyes;
The wild wind doth forever blow,
High in the northern skies.
Loud through the air it's weird refrain.
Wings swift its lonesome way;
While ever and anon, the strain
Rings through the castle gray.
Tho night wind signs without the walls:
While on the mountains high,
The silent snowflake softly falls,
Down from the starry sky.
Far, far beneath the fields of snow,
Old ocean restless roars:
His surging waves toss to and fro,
On Norway's rocky shores.
High DER the castles roof of snow,
Stretch far the wintry skies;
Ger oceans bosom far below,
The SealEeW Sinking flies.
Though tiercest storms around it rage,
1t stands amid the roar;
Has ever stood from age to age,
AND shall forevermore.
