SYNOPSIS.


Arnold Hopetoun, q clerk on small
salary in the foreign office at London. is
engaged to be married to handsome Bella
Carstairs, who with her mother Is obliged
TO keep up appearances IN very reduced
circumstances. Bella believes that she
loves Arnold. but Is unwilling TO marry
him until he gets a more lucrative position
which his influential uncle. Lord Drilling,
ham. has promised to obtain for him. Lord
Drillingham neglects the matter and Ar
mold proposes 10 Bella that he and his
cousin Kate, Lord Drillingham's daugh-
der pretend TO be engaged, with the ldea
OF increasing his uncle's interest in op-
tanning an appointment. She consents ana
he goes down to Deercourt to arrange the
matter with Kate. Kate agrees. Drillin"-
ham approves of the engagement, and be-
stirs himself about the appointment.
PART III.
At the end of the week he did go.
and. of course. called ON Mrs. Car
stairs and Bella without delay. Bella
did not look 50 attractive as usual he
thought when he first went in, but she
frightened up Immensely as he re-
counted the progress of the plot, and on
leaving he told himself for the thou
sandth time that she was the dearest
girl on earth
II is difficult to say how it was, but
after he had been back i'm town Il few
days, Il certain reStleSSneSS began to
make itself felt in Hopetoun.
At first he thought it was his cousins
sympathy. He missed having some
one to talk to about Bella. he said: but
since Bella in propria persona was here,
within half an hours cab drive that
explanation would not do. No. he did
not know what was the matter with
him exactly. lmpat!ence, perhaps?

IMMORTALITY.

A humble singer sang little song
Years. years ago.
Now DER her lowly grave the bramble
spreads
And scant weeds grow.
Her memory in no living heart remains,
Yet her song lives.
And, to the soul that mourns its dear and
dead.
Sweet comfort gives.
Emily Leland, in the Sun.

Rep. Robertson understood the bill
ss nTst introduced 10 aim st way of
helping out the poor people, and espe-
ciatly the native. He thought that
the bill was msant to give them home
stesds to live upon without exactiDg
any rent whsteveF, and, with only
one or two conditions, such as remain
ing on aud improving the land and
paying the taxes. He remembered

strongly on this point when the bill
was first introduced, and he remem-
bered, on account of its very tenor,
that the oil was heartily supported.
Whether it was the Attorney General
or the Minister OF the Interior who
did the pleading before the House Mr.
Robertson could Lot call to mind
just then. The bill was thought to be
for the good of the poor, and the
amendment seemed q direct retro
erosion. He was not prepared u sup
port the bill until reasons better than
those stated could be given for so
doing, and moved that the DILL De Tie

By way OF amendment Rep. Ka-

MONOWAI TO BE DISPLACED.
So Says James Mills of the Union
Steamship COmyany.

James Mills of New Zealand,
managing director of the Union
Steamship Company, which oper-
ates line of fifty steamers between
New Zealand and Australia and be-
tween the Colonies and.the islands
OF the South Pacific, is staying at
the Occidental Hotel, says the San
Francisco Chronicle of Feb. 18th.
He is on his way to England,
where the company now has several
fast steamers in course of construct
ion.
The Union Steamship Company
owns the Monowai, and Mr.. Mills
says that in the near future a
larger and faster vessel will be put
on the run between here and the
Colonies in her stead. He says
there is no immediate prospect of
increasing the number of steamers
on the Australian line, but the
Union Steamship Company, which
has the contract for carrying the
mails between New Zealand and
San Francisco, is DESTROYS of short
ening the time as much as possible.

ALCOHOL AND sNAKE-BITES

Alcohol is the conventional prescrip.
ton for snake-bite In rural districts no
person ever thinks of any other remedy,
if he thinks of n remedy at all. However,
a man named l.. G. Washburn. of Fort
Myers, Florida, has discovered new
remedy. He recently detailed his ex-
perience in saving the life of boy of
fifteen years, who had been bitten by II
moccasin snake. and added:
The virus of American serpents is sup
posed to be an acid similar to prussic acid,
and its antidote is an alkali. Sudden
deaths from snake bites occur when the
poison is carried to the heart by the cir
culation producing paralysis of the or
gan, or n clot of blood that impedes cir
culation. Hence, Immediately apply a
ligature. Next cut gashes into the flesh
lengthwise of the muscles at the bite,
and induce free bleeding. Then inject
strong soda water, teaspoonful ut II
time. each side of the bite. Potash, soda
and acqua ammonia are antidotes.
look on soda as the best. 1t is easily dis
solved and does less injury when injected
into the TISSUES. Whisky, ginger and
capsicum are our best cardiac stimulants
and should be used from the start This
Is the season when people go saunter-
ing along the shore of streams or wading
