CHAPTER III.-CoSrrsurpA

CHAPTER lIl.-OoNTISUED.1
The day following there was sim
pie funeral. In a solitary burial-place,
seldom used, and lying within short
distance of the spot where the body
was found. Mr.. Lorraine betrayed the
expenses out OF his own pocket, saw
that everything was decently though
simply arranged, and himself read the
beautiful burial service over the coffin.
He had now no doubt in his mind that
the drowned woman was the mother of
the infant left under his care, and that
by destroying herself she had simply
carried out her desperate determina-
ton.
All attempts to identify her. how
ever, continued without avail. In
quiries were made on every side. ad-
vertisements inserted in the local
newspapers, without the slightest re-
suit; no one came forward to give any
information. But by this time the
minister's mind was quite made up.
He would keep the child, and. with
Gods blessing, rear her as his own;
h would justify the unhappy mothers
dependence on his charity and loving
kindness.
So it came to pass that late in the
cleaning of the old bachelors life the
cry of child was heard in the lonely
fGuse; and somehow or other. despite
Solomon Mucklebackit'S prognostica-
hn iuh tor nd
merrier for the sound. Solomon him
self soon fell under the spell, and when
a little warm with whisky he would al
lude to the child. with a comic sense
of possession, as ''oor bairn."
At last, one day, there was a quiet
christening in the old kirk. where Mr..
Lorraine had officiated so many years,
Mysie held the infant in her arms,
while Solomon stood at hand, blinking
through his horn spectacles, and the
minister performed the simple cere-
mony.
After long and tender deliberation
the minister had fixed upon a name,
which he now gave to the poor little
castaway. who had neither father nor
mother, nor any kinsfolk in the world
after whom she could be called.
He christened her Marjorie AMMAN
Marjorie. after that other beloved
Marjorie. who had long before joined
or so he dreamed-the bright celes-
tial band; Amman. after that troubled
water wherein the miserable mother

NO Fish,"

Fine as are the salmon of New
Foundland, they are without honor in
their own country, as the following in
cident from DR.. S. T. Davis's Carl
bou-Shooting in Newfoundland" will
show: Our way into the interior was
over a lovely pond. We had made an
early start, and left the foot of the
pond just as day was breaking. We
had not proceeded far when the writer
thought he could occasionally see the
water break with splash in close
proximity to the canoe. Seated as he
was in the bow, he turned to the native
who was handling the paddle in the
stern, and inquired whether there were
any fish in the pond.
Fish? No, sir, no fish, SIR.
Presently, when about halfway I'D
the pond, and just as the sun was peep
ing over the eastern horison, he saw,
not six feet from the bow Of the canoe,
a magnificent salmon rise to the sur
face, and with a swish of his tail, dis
appear. Again the writer turned to his
friend with the remark, Daddy, did
l understand you to say that there were
no fish in this pond?"
mo fish, sir; no fish,
Yes, butt beg your pardon-I a
moment ago saw what 1 took to be a
twelve Or fifteen-pound salmon break

the canoe"

From time to time as she tripped
along with her companion she had to

many of the shop doors and windows

faces beamed. 1t was clear that she

iorie had asked, after some previous
conversation.
LAST night, by the express from

I'm going down to see the old folk
tonight. Shall you be at the manse?"
Marjorie nodded, smiling gayly.
"And how did you like London?" she
demanded "Did you see the queen?
and Westminster Abbey? and did you
go to the great tabernacle to hear
Spurseon preach?"

As he spoke. Marjorie paused at the

QUEER FABRICS

There is a firm in Venice which is
turning out glass bonnets by the thou
sand and several other European fac
tories are showing remarkable results
in this particular industry. The In
fanta Mercedes, sister of the little king
of Spain, recently received from the
Venetian factory a white ball dress of
spun glass as pliable as silk. Many
society women with whim for the
curious have similar gowns.
Queen Victoria owns a more marvel
Gus robe. In 1877 the empress of Bra
zil sent her gown woven from a GER
tain spiders web which for fineness OF
texture and beauty surpasses the love
liest silk. A drachm of web reaches 200
miles and is propOrtionately stronger
than bar of tempered steel. A web
of equal thickness would support sew
enty-four tons, while steel would
break at fifty tons. These spiders when
at work eat seventy-eight times their
own weight every day and produce on
~ half a grain of silk.
Louis XIV. has coat made of spl-
ders' web which was a great curiosity
in those days. LIE Bon, great beau
of Languedoc, had, some 200 years ago.
webs woven into gloves and stockings.

dukes, one of whom wore silver un-

The material is strong and flexible

after it has become wet is hard to
tear.

this duty which God demands OF us?
Suppose that four wood-thrushes pro-
pose to do all the singing some bright
day, when the woods are ringing with
bird voices. 1t is decided that four
wood-thrushes shall do all of the sing
ing Of the forest. Let all other voices
keep silent. How beautifully the four
warble! 1t is really fine music. But
how long will you keep the forest still?
Why, Christ won't come into that for
est and look up, as he looked through
the olives, and he would wave his hand
and say, Let everything that hath
breath praise the Lord" and, keeping
time with the stroke OF innumerable
wings, there would be five thousand
bird voices leaping into the harmony.
Suppose this delegation of musical per-
formers were tried in heaven; suppose
that four choice spirits should try to do
the singing of the upper Temple.
Hush now, thrones and dominions and
principalities. David, be still, though
you were the sweet singer of Israel"
Paul. keep quiet, though you have come
to that crown of rejoicing. Richard
Baxter, keep still, though this is the

Pet,ieoats Of Plaid.

Each year more care is bestowed
upon the petticoat of silk. This sea-
son the most fetching thing in petit
coats is the one of plaid silk. The
shops are showing most attractive
and deliberately made garments of
this order. One that 1 saw in a lead
ing Broadway dry goods house the
other day was of green and black
plaid, the bottom having a deep
flOunce done in knife pleating cut
into points and set up over another
pleated flOunce of black taffeta.
Silk petticoats can be had now in
all the fashionable plaids and their
cost is in keeping with their ele-
gance.
