The Dukes Rival.

Arthur Helps, the author of the we'll
known book, Friends in Council" Of
ten paid Prof. Max Muller a visit on
his way to or from Blenheim, where he
used to stay with the then Duke Of
Marlborough.
Once when Helps came to stay with
us on his return from Blenheim. writes
Professor Muller in Cosmopolis, he told
me how the Duke had left the day be-
fore for London. and that on that very
day the emu had laid an egg.
The Duke had taken the greatest in
terest in his emus, and had long looked
forward to this event. A telegram was
sent to the Duke, which, when shown
to Mr.. Helps, ran as follows:
''The emu has laid an egg, and in the
absence of your Grace we have taken
the largest goose we could find to hatch

that her father is not dead-or that she
has never had tidings of his DEATH"
Her father is as dead as Queen Anne.
He lost his life in trying to save hers,
poor beggar. She was not five years old
at the time, and her passionate grief for
her father made such an impression upon
my brother that he had not the heart to
tell her the truth. He paltered with her,
told her that her father had gone away to
distant country; they would meet again
yes, in years to come she would see him
again. He meant in the land of shadows;
she accepted the promise as gospel truth,

Built From one Rock.

The following story comes from Waterloo, Iowa: The members of the Presbyterian church decided to erect 3 new place of worship. Stone was scarce; Tn fact, there were no quarries and no rock suitable for building pnr- poses nigh at hand. At last their at tention was called to what was ap- parently large bowlder, which stood in the middle of q plain about eight miles from the town. This huge mass of rock was like an island in the midst of a vast Sea. About eight feet of it projected above ground. The work of excavating this gigantic powder was at once begun. When exposed to view 1t was found to be twenty-eight feet high. thirty feet long and twenty
 feet wide. On this monolith the work men began their labors with drill,
 hammer and dynamite. and the enor- nous rock was converted into building stones. The pieces were conveyed to the town. and before long wonder ful metamorphosis was apparent. and then this giant powder, alter resting ,undisturbed for countless years and buried by the deposits of ages. was transformed into beautiful church.
