soul, the mate God meant for me, be-
cause, led by others counsels, blum
dered into a loveless connection with
another! Which Is the criminal bond
that ordained by my Maker, or the COM
pact which has had no blessing save
the approval Of cold-hearted and mer-
cenary mortals? outwardly we must
remain as we are but who is defrauded

not for what he Is to me?"
Then, shaking off the spell, she would
loathe herself for the vile suggestions,
and pray, in blind, heathenish way,
to Him who had sent her pain, to sus-
tain her under 1t, to keep her from
falling into the fouler mire Of open de-
hance Of her husbands claims upon
her realty In word and act, to hold
her fast to the semblance Of right and
honor.
Parting from Edward at the outer
entrance with brief phrase of thanks
for his kindness in accompanying her,
she ran up to her husbands room and
opened the door without knocking, A
gentleman, whom she recognized as q
prominent city lawyer, stood by the
lounge with paper in his hand. Two
young men, apparently clerks, were
Withdrawn a little into the background
and table bearing writing materials
was between them and the others.
you acknowledge this instrument to
be your latest will and testament, and
in token thereof, have set hereto your
signature and seal?" the lawyer was
saying as the door swung noiselessly
ajar and Constance stopped, unable to
advance or retreat.
Mr.. Withers glanced around when he
had given his assent. Come in, my
dear" he said, quietly. eve shall soon

London is excited just now over a
small boy of years, who has the most
astonishing knack Of sketchlng port
rats ever vouchsafed one so young.
The child, called Little Stanley, is the
son of sign-palnter and ticket-writer
in moderate circumstances. The foun-
dation Of the boys fortunes dates from
recent race meeting, where the Prince
of Wales was attracted by crowd
watching the small artist sketch promi-
nent people, rewarding him with pen
mics. Among the pictures was one Of
the prince and that gentleman was so
pleased he sent the boy a sovereign,
which, suitably mounted, he now wears
as locket A few nights ago the boy
appeared at a concert, where were
present the Dukes Of Cambridge and
Teck among other notables and all
we're surprised at the boys skill. He
can sketch Gladstone in eight and one
half seconds and draws 200 prominent
men from memory. He is engaged at a
music hall at present.

Most Remarkable Canal.

The most remarkable canal in the
world is the one between Worsley and
St. Helens, in the North of England.
1t is sixteen miles long and under
ground from end to end. In Lancashire
the coal mines are very extensive, half
the country being undermined. Many
years ago the managers of the Duke of
Bridgewater's estates thought they
could save money by transporting the
coal underground instead of on the sur
face; therefore the canal was construct
ed and the mines connected and drain
ed at the same time. Ordinary canal
boats are used, the power being fur
nished by men. The tunnel arch over
the canal is provided with cross pieces,
and the men who do the work of pro-
pulsion lie on their backs on the loads
Of coal, and push with their feet
against the cross bars Of the roof.

Chicago and New York retail mer-
chants have organized to fight the big
department stores. These mammoth
concerns threaten to drive the small
dealers out of business and they are
uniting for self-protection. In Chi
cago the small dealers are securing
pledges from the people not to trade at
the department stores. 1t is claimed
that real estate has deprecated because
small store rooms cannot be rented and
that business for the small dealers has
been practically ruined.

It haa remained for Frenchman ia
make the first complete exploration OF
the largest cavern in the British ISL
ands, taat at Mitchelstown, Ireland.
The explorer is Monsieur Martel, who
has recently become famous for his
discoveries in the caverns of France.
The Mstchelstown cavern is formed in
limestone, and is remarkable for the
number and extent of its connected pas
sages which, when plotted upon a
chart. resemble the streets of a city.
The length of the cave is about mile
and a quarter, and 1t contains some
animal inhabitants. including a species
Of spider, which are peculiar to it and
which have their entire existence with

A tax upon newspaper advertise
ments has been introduced in the Span
ish cortes, and the newspapers Of
Spain are raising a storm of indigna-
ton about it, as 1t is likely to ruin a
great number Of provincial newspapers
Publishers and editors have united in
addressing the minister Of finance in
IA memorial, protesting against the tax
The minister Of finance, however, has
declared that LIE cannot consistently
.recede from the position he has taken
from the first, and since the cortes has
decreed thar such a tax on advertise
ments is FAIR and would increase the
revenue OF the country, which needs
money very badly just now, there will
be nothing left to the publishers but tc
pay up or go out Of business.

A late president of one of our COL
leges once said: THE habit of standing
idle, waiting for dead mems shoes, kills
the life in many rich mans son. It
is paralysis of body and mind. can
pick out nearly every boy in this col
lege whose idea Of life is to spend the
money which somebody else has
earned His looks, his acts, his talk,
are injected with dry-rot" This was
a harsh expression; but it represented
useless lives, that lacked the vitality
and healthful moral vigor that make
men worthy Of the highest respect, and
useful members & society.
