By this time we ought to be we'll
accustomed to British ignorance of
American politics. But still the ig-
norance displayed by the st. James
Gazette in treating of the income
tax decision of the Supreme Court
may we'll cause surprise. 1t says that
while mo one has suggested that this
august tribunal can be bribed," ''still
it is significant that the politics of the
various Judges are carefully mention
ed in the dispatches" We do not
know what dispatches We're received
by the st. James Gazette, but in this
country mention was made of the
politics Of the various" Judges mere
iy to show that their respective opin-
ions were wholly free from any 30
litical bias. AS to the idea Of ''brib-
ing the august tribunal" it is about
as intelligent as If some one should
suggest that the Archbishop of Can
terbury had been bribed to vote
against the Deceased Wife's Sister
bill.

sary warmth for the Matching of their
eggs. In some cases several pairs of
one species collect an enormous heap
of decaying vegetable matter and there
deposit their eggs, usually at depth
of two or more feet. The heaps are
pyramidal in form and are so large as
to contain several carloads Of mate
rial. The heat in the center of this
mass often reaches as high as IS de-
grees. Another species constructs large
mounds of earth, often of an immense
size, varying from 20 to 60 feet in cir
conference and from to Is feet in
height. In these the eggs are carefully
buried to the depth Of six feet. An
other bird Of this group deposits her
eggs in mounds of sand alternating
with layers of dried leaves and grasses.

erby's favor and also with Harold's.
The two young women decided to go to
little inn on the sound, which they
had known well in the days before Mrs.
| Witherby had assumed the burdens and
responsibilities Of married life.
| Friday afternoon was hot and humid.
| The travellers remembered with delight
that there was always a dreeze at
Stormcliff. They came in from Apple
town joyously. By the time they had
reached New York the rains de-
scended and the floods came. The light
ming also flashed and the thunder was
| by no means an unobtrusive element in
the atmospheric drama
Shall we turn back?" faltered Mrs.
Witherby.
Turn backl" said Lena, scornfully.
| Turn back for a little summer
shower"
So they went on. BY the time they
reached Stormcliff the summer shower
| had settled into a persistent downpour.
! The old, familiar stage-coach ride from
| the station to the inn was made with
the covers of the coach drawn tight and
a man smoking poor cigar on the
| front seat. Moreover, they had be-
come drenched between the station and
the stage. Deep gloom took possession
of their souls and they did not speak
except to revile the smoker
When they arrived at the inn they
found that another blow awaited them.

But there was not. There was neither

clerk, quite audibly, when young Mrs.

In order to give their dresses a chance

the cheerful discovery that the sheets
We're damp and the blankets thin.

But young Mrs. Witherby underesti-
mated the persistent qualities of the
weather. The next day when they
were awakened by their own sneezing
they found the rain still descending
pitilessly.

Eighteenth and X streais, has this to say:
I'll was at least twelve years ago that my

was at first principally affected. There We're
severe pains across my forehead over my eyes,
often causing me pains in the eyeballs. My
eyes would become weak aud watery, My
nostrils would at times discharge q watery
matter and at other times become cioggedup,
so that | could scarcely breathe through them.
Constant ringing ana roaring noises in my
ears distressed and annoyed me and made mo
fear that my hearing was becoming impaired.
The mucous from my head would drop back
into my throat and keep ME constantly hawk
ing and gRgging and raising
"Graduaiiy the cRttarrh, which first affected
simply my head and throat. extended until
my whole system was undermined. TWAS
Catarrh OF the Head. Throat and Stomach,
believe they called IL. but my lungs ana heart
seemed to he involved also; sharp. shooting
pains would take me in the chest. running
through to the shoulder blades. My heart
would beat lard ana fast, and this would be
followed by a slow. irregular beating anu q
sensation OF fantness or dizziness.

Economizing had won upon young

pensed with the functionary known as

through a month of housekeeping as
sisted only by the nurse, who had been
engaged Immediately after Mrs. With
erbys first and only attempt to take
care of the baby herself, and by the
cook, a native of Appletown, whose
strong point was a total disregard of
her mistress tastes and commands.

out to Appletown to spend a week, and
found her young relative looking worn
and haggard.

nounced. lis to get away for a few days
