The incident of Admiral Dewey's trans
fer of his Washington house to his wife
has interfered somewhat with the raising
of funds to perpetuate the beautiful arch
in Madison Square, New York, in marble
and bronze. 1t vas at first proposed to
drop Dewey's name and c,ll it the naval
arch, but the constitution of the associa.
tion provides that the arch shall be Sin
honor of the officers and men of the Uni
ted States navy and in greeting to Admiral
Dewey" 1t is, therefore, both navy arch
and Dewey arch.

A NOrthhsId Man Missing.

Geo. A. Stearns, lumber dealer in
Mortified, was at Erving Saturday trying
to trace Auos G.. Lane, teamster in his
employ, who has been missing nearly a
week, and who left in a suspicious man
ner. Mr.. Stearns was called away about a
week ago, and left Lane in charge of his
lumber yard. Several days after he left
Lane quit his work, and was observed by
the Stearns family with whom ne boarded,
to have changed his clothes and gone away.
Nothing was thought of this until the next
day, when the man failed to return. When
Mr.. Stearns came home he found postal
from an acquaintance in Ervng, saying
that his overcoat had been found rolled up
in bundle, lying near a railroad bridge
over Millers river. MIR. Stearns thought
this to be trace of his missing employee
and went to Erving. He identified the
coat as one belonging to Lane, and found
business letter of his own and a lumber
memorandum book in one of his pockets.
On further investigation he found that
Lane had cashed check at the Erving
House after having had it refused at sew
eral other places. Mr.. Stearns is firm in
the belief that the missing man commit
ted suicide by drowning in the river. Lane
is described as SO years old, about six feet
tall, with dark hair and complexion. He
was a native of Prince Edward Island, and
had been in Mr.. Stearns's employ five
wears,

It was an old. old, old, old lady,
And a boy who was half past three;
And the way that they played together
Was beautiful to see.
She couldn't go running and jumping,
And the boy. no more C iuld he,
For he was a thin, little fellow,
With thin little, twisted knee
They sat In the yellow sunlight,
Out under the maple tree;
And the game that they played I'll tell you,
Just as It was told to me.
1t was Hide and Go Seek they were playing,
Though you'd never have known Il to be-
Whitman old, old old, old lady,
And boy with a twisted knee.
The boy would bend his face down
On his one little, sound right knee,
And he'd guess where she was hiding,
In guesses One, Two, Threei
you are in the china closetl"
He would cry, and laugh with glee-
II wasn't the china closet,
But he still had Two and Three.
'l on are up in papa's big bedroom,
In the chest with the queer old key"
And she said: You ART warm and warmer;
But you're not quite right" said she.

Where mammR's things used to be-
So it must be the clothes pr IS, grandmain
And he found her, with his three.
Then she covered her face with her fingers,
That were wrinked and white and wee,
And she guessed where the boy was hiding
With One and a Two and q Three.
And they never had stirred from their places,
Right under the maple tree
This old, old, old, old lady,
And the boy with the lame little knee
This dear, dear, dear old lady,
And the boy who wa half past three.

statement Of the events and causes leading
up to the present war ia the Transvasl,
stated from the English standpoint. Mr..
Ireland gives lucid and straightforward
account of the events and the questions
involved, and while he strongly aivocates
the British side Of the question, he does
not omit or gloss over the errors and mis-
management of that government, which
he is willing to admit have contributed to
produce the resentments which have led up
TO the present state of war.

New Zealand Prosperity.

Australasia produces more wealth and
spends more for every man, woman, and
child than any other country, aud New
Zealand is the most prosperous OF the
seven colonies of Australasia, says Henry
ID. Lloyd in the December Atlantic. New
Zealand has practically every resource for
the support of life and the creation of
wealth. 1t is a white mans country, If
there ever was one, and the people ft the
country with much more than the Euro
pean or the American average of energy,
physique, intelligence, honesty and indus
try. A tree falls in the forest, and in its
roots is found gold mine; a citizen digs
a post-hole, and cuts into vein of coal 40
feet thick. The most precious metal of
all, iron, is found in abundant deposits,
one of them in the Taranaki sands of in
exhaustible quantity, and so pure and rich
that 1t has so far defied reduction. There
is fax, and there can be cotton whenever
the people choose to grow it. There are
nowhere travelling rugs so soft and warm
as those made out of New Zealand wool.
Electric power beyond calculation is going
to waste in thousand and one waterfalls
and rapids. This exceeding bounty and
beauty of their own home pull more strong
ly every day against the recall of the old
home. All these physical circumstances
make for "New Zealand for the New Zeal
anders," and New Zealanders for New
Zealand. We can easily forsee the "length-
ening chain" that ties these people to old
England frightening into invisibility.

"Ian Maclaren," in the December La

he expressed the mind of some ungrateful

Perhaps, also, it would be the kindest
thing to the minister when he discovers
himself to be an incumbrance on those
whom he loves, and who once loved him,
to give him by some means the coup de
grace, but there are objections on the part
of an interfering law to this summary
method of disposal, and one must abandon
the idea of an ecclesiastical knackers' yard"
