the House of Commons.

LONDON March 3.-In the House of Com
mons to-day Mr.. Samuel Smith, Liberal men,
Der for Flintshire, and president OF the Pur-
ity Society, offered resolution Of sympathy
with the Armenians. In doing so, Mr.. Smith
said that he trusted that Great Britain would
continue her efforts III behalf of the Armen-
ians. Mr.. Smith also denounced Turkey,
claiming that the Turks were pirates, in
hopeless state Of barbarism, and suggested
that Russia be given port on the Mediter-
ranean and thus terminate the rivalry be-
tween Great Britain and Russia in this con-
nection. He also suggested that Russia be
asked to occupy Armenia, and thought that
France and Russia should be approached
Turkey. claiming that such policy would
unite the Saxon race in Europe and America.
Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett defended the
the resolutions. Others followed. after which
Mr.. George n Cursor Under Secretary for
government was willing to accept the resolu-
tions, but the House must not suppose that
the government could ameliorate the condi-
tion OF the Armenians by force Of arms. The
question, he said. was not the concern of
one power, but OF ALL and each must be the
best judge of its own policy. Hence the con-

be transferred to Russia, and that the latter
was averse to assuming the control. The

not stated whose port ii was proposed to seize
and present 10 Russia. The government was
doing its best. he closed by saying, TO amel-
iorate the condition OF Armenia, and would
not abate its efforts.
Prof James Bryce who occupied the DO

Bagging Material For Cotton.

The agitation is being kept up in pro-
test of the wretched method that is be-
ing used in the baling of cotton. The
Industrial Record says: The New York

ton covered with sugar bag cloth is a
good delivery, and the cloth has likewise
been Endorsed by the Cotton Exchange

changes, as we'll as by brokers. import
ers, merchants and insurance companies
It meets all requirements, having suff1-
cient strength to stand compression, and
Of texture woven close enough to per-
NIT legible marking and to protect the
contents Of the bale from dirt and fire.
Tt is strongly recommended for it's SUI
periority over jute bagging, and at the
same time it is cheap, costing, we be-
lieve. not far from 81 cents yard.

Gertrude, on that particular evening,
did not happen to open her newspaper.
If she had. she would have known that
her lover was that day the man most
talked about in the whole world. After
this, she was so overwhelmed by her
correspondence from different people
who wanted her to introduce them to
Mr.. George Larkin that she had no
time to open the newspapers for six
months. She never knew, therefore, why
Mr.. George Larkin suddenly attained
the prominence in all social walks, in
walks of finance and indeed in The es-
TEEN of his fellow countrymen. which
she had gained. She did know that, two
or three days afterward, he came in to
see her looking like a new man. He
stood erect where his head had hung
low, he had cheerful smile on his face
where he had looked detected when she
snubbed him. In fact, she did not dare
to snub him. She knew that he was a
person of much more Importance in the
estimate Of the world than she was. And
when George Larkin, for the first time
in his life, gained the courage to ask
Gertrude if she would marry him and
make him happy for the rest of his life,
Gertrude had no thought Of saying any
thing but yes. So much is even a good
girl governed unconsciously by the tone
of the people who are around her.
It is an unimportant thing to add, but
this great empire rose from its depres-
sion on the strength Of Mr.. George Lar
kin's offers to the treasury. Everybody
saw that he was right, and nobody else
was right. -Four per cents rose to high
er line than had ever been known in his
tory. The reputation Of Mr.. Larkin as a
financier was established. Rothschilds
and Belmonts and other bankers OF the
world begged for his advice, and offered
him places in their firms. These he was
not so foolish as to accept. But he lived
a happy life with the woman he had
loved, and he had the glad consciousness
that, by the way, he had saved his coun-
try.-Edward Everett Hale in Chicago

THE DAUGHTER.

There's one miss-a little questioning maid
That held my finger, trotting by my side,
And smiled out of her pleased eyes open wide.
Wondering and wiser at each word said.
And must help her frolics If she played,
And must feel her trouble If she cried;
MY lap was hers past right to be denied;
She did my bidding, but more obeyed.
Dearer she Is today, dearer and more;
Closer to me, since sister womanhoods meet.
Yet. like poor mothers, some long while bereft,
] dwell on toward ways, quaint memories left,
miss the approaching sound Of pitpat feet,
The eager baby voice outside my door.

These were the words of Florence
Larkin to her brother. George had in.
trusted her with that difficult commits
sion-to find out why Gertrude was of

times so cordial and sweet and some
times so distant. And poor Florence had
to explain to George that Gertrude had
virtually said that he was too common.
place. She could not marry man that
nobody knew and nobody talked about.
He was good, he was successful, he was
kind, he was everything that Miss Edge
worth would require in one of her
novels, but he did not attract peoples
attention. Nobody ever heard of George
Larkin.
After Florence had explained this in
the minutest way possible twice, George
seemed to understand what she was talk
ing about.
"Does she want to see my name in
the newspapers?"
II should not say that, }" said Flor
ence.
"Does she want me to ride down
Broadway in plate armor and nail on
the doors of Trinity a notice that she is
the prettiest girl in the world?"
''She did not say so," said Florence
''Does she want to see me more?"

if you went there less" said Florence.

George Larkin flounced out Of the room.
Ten days after, as Gertrude Clark
came down, rather late, to her breakfast,
the servant brought in pile of letters
on the salver. Gertrude's little sister
counted them; there were %. "What in
the world has happened?" said she.
The little sister cut them open, and
Gertrude read:
DEAR MISS CLARK think you know Mr..
George Larkin. VIII you have the kindness to
put his address on the note inclosedP
DEAR MISS CLARK-Do you know your friend
Mr.. Larkin well enough to ask him to come
round to our receptionP It Is very informal,
but we shall be so pleased to see him.
DEAR MISS CLARK am SO annoyed that
forget Mr.. Larkin's first name. Iwant to send
him a card for our party. May trouble you
for his address,
Twenty three notes that contained
such references to George!
Yet for these ten days past George
had not sent her-no, not carnation.
He did send her note to excuse him
self from driving with her in the park.
He was not even at her aunt's regular
family party, where he had begged her
to have him invited. George had Who'll

had begun to wish that he had not drop

they went on, think, to the amount Of
$S,O00,000, and finally the whole
structure collapsed. The government
would not take them, the paper became
absolutely worthless, and when that pa
per became worthless it was found, not
in the hands of the spectators; no, it
was found in the hands of the manu-
facturers, of the business men, of the
workingmen of France. 1t was on them
that the loss fell, because they had ex-
changed their labor and their earnings
for this worthless paper. That is the
history of all attempts to juggle with the
currency. The loss lands always in the
same place, and we can form no ez-
