There's wealth OF lovely pictures In this

There's the rainbow in tho heavens, after
spring aud summer showers,
With its woa'lrous hucs prisnatic, with its

From the zenith OF lis beauty to tho Distant
misty base.
There's tho sunrise DER tho mountains in tho
sinmcring August days;
There's the sunset in the valley in u veil of
blush haze:
There's the river flowing gently from the up-
land TO the sea,
Now all eoldcnin tlcsunlislt, in the shadow

There's tlc meadow full OF clover, and the
cattle gritzing there
All is silent, all is peaceful, all is free from
every care.
There's tho vista through, The woodland, with
its gorgeous autumn hue;
There's the twinkiny star a-pccping through
the deepening evening blue.
There's the vast unrcstGul ocean, meath II fair

There the dancing wave a-winliny rs the
ships go sailing by;
There's the garden with its flowers, with its
rose. all ablow;
There's the very soul u purity, the first fresh

And they come and 20 forever in a never

Another incontestable proof of the
rapid advance of the Japanese in the
civilization Of the West is the following
advertisement which appeared in a
Toxic paper recently: "a young lady
wishes TO get married. She is very
beautiful, has rosy face, which is sur.
rounded by dark curly hair. Her eye.
brows show the form Of the half moon,
and the mouth is small and pretty. She
is also very rich, well read enough to
admire the flowers in the daytime at
the side of life companion, or at night
to sing to the stars in heaven. The man
whom she will choose must also be
young, handsome and we'll educated,
and be ready to share the same grave

FIRE At RIcHM OND.
Firemen Hampered by Lack Of Water-Mhert
Is The Fault?

Richmond, Oct. rs. - Especially. - AT
about 10. 80, Thursday evening, the cry OF
fire sent large number of people hurry
ing to the South end, where stable be-
longing to the dwelling of Edward Sedg-
ley on High street. was found to be in
flames. The fire started from lantern
which Sedgley was working by, and which
ny some means or other was overturned
by him. The fire spread rapidly and in
course % few minutes after the alarm
was given, nothing but the frame re
| manned.
The tiremen vera promptly on the spot,
but were seriously hindered by lack OF
water pressure. The water was mudd,
| when the hydrants were opened and tn
tiremen found it difficult to get Il stream
upon tie roof
The attending circums stances lead to thu
belief that the Water Company is not Civ
ing the town the best service of which it
Is capable, ard that the authorities should
at once demand thorough flushing Of
the service pipes. The trend of public
opinion is in accord with the above, but
it is question If the Water Company il
| bound to do anything of the kind. Posi-
bly, some fault rests with the authorities
The town has the privilege of opening thu
hydrants at any time ana it seems that a.
matter of prccaution the matter should
| be looked after by the fire wardens.
Fortunately there was no wind at the
time of the fire, Thursday evening Scdg-
leys loss is estimated at 5000; which is
fully covered by insurance.
