as follows:
Whatever scientists say to the ontrary,

sunlight. One might as well tell me that
whale does not know when its trail is
crossed, even when it is miles away.
Whalers all know that, and if they can't
explain it they are just as sure of it as
they are that there is a rise and fall of
tides.
Moonlight will sour milk too, a lot
quicker than sunlight, and it will spoil
fish or pork quicker too. Townfolk don't
believe all this, but most farmers know it,
Every seafaring man has seen how

Penalties of Being a Bachelor.

The ancient Romans were severe with
their bachelors, who, were made to nav
heavy fines, and, worse than that Camii-
lus, after the siege of Veil, is recorded to
have compelled them to marry the widows
of the soldiers who had fallen In war. In
the time OF Augustus married men were
preferred for public office. The Romans
who had three children were exempted
from personal taxes, and the bachelors had
to pay them. Plato condemned single men
TO line, and at Sparta they were driven
at certain times to the Temple of Hercules
by the women, who castigated them in
true military style. In the French settle
ments Of Canada women were sent over
after the men, and the single men, that
they might be forced to marry. were sub
jected to heavy tax and to restrictions ON

But what struck Bernardet above ev.

glued him to the spot was the look, the
extraordinary expression in the eyes.
The mouth was open, as if to cry ont;
the eyes seemed to menace some one,

on the threshold OF the library adjoining
the salon, looked searchingly about the
room in which M. Revere ordinarily
spent his tims, and which he had prob
ably left to meet his fate. His ear was
as quick to hear as his eye to see and as
he heard the question he softly APP
preached and listened for the answer.
"What gentleman and what did he
do?" asked the commissary a little
brusquely, for he noticed hesitation to
reply in both Moniche and his wife.
well, and what does this mean?"
"Oh, well, NJ. lie Commissaire, it is
this-perhaps il means nothingw And
the concierge went on TO tell how, one
evening, a very fine gentleman, and
very polished, moreover, had come to
the house and asked to see M. Revere.
He had gone. to his apartment and had
remained long time. 1t was, he
thought, about the middle of October,
and Nine. Moniche, who had gone up
stairs to light the gas, met the man as
he was coming out of M. Revere s rooms
and had noticed at the first glance the
troubled air of the Observation-Disclosures

Then, at some time or other, the in

day she asked M. Revere who it was,
and he very shortly asked her what bust

but she watched the individual with
vague doubt.

"If we had only instinct to guide us,
we should make some famous plumbers. 4"

Nine. Moniche, as we already know,
entered M. Roveres apartment when
ever she wished. She was his landlady,
ais reader, his friend. Revere was
orusque, but he was good. So it was
nothing strange when the woman, urged
~ curiosity, suddenly appeared in his
'ooms, for him to say: "Ah, you here?
s that you? l did not call you" An
electric bell connected the rooms with
he concierge lodge Usually she would

And she would profit by the occasion to

iche called the individual, was there,

dent has had the subject under advise

that decision was recently reached,

duction into Office the president has been
anxious to testify his appreciation Of
Archbishop 1reland's' Republication,
which took the form of strong inter-
views and speeches during the campaign
of 1895, and o. his mental gifts and
learning. The cza-'s call for an inter-
national peace congress, at which his
proposed universal disarmament is to be
discussed, has presented an exceptional
opportunity to honor Archbishop Ire.
