Sitting alone in the little parlor, my
thoughts naturally turned on the
strange discoveries of the night, and
on those events of my life which led
UP to them. But I could not reduce
them to order, my mind was in such a
whirl; and one thought was never alb
sent. Had I wronged my wife in be-
lieving her to be u%nfaithful to me? Her
pale, suffering and her poverty were
stronger witnesses in her behalf than
all the circumstantial evidence which
proclaimed her false. PEARLS light
step aroused me from my painful mus

The father of the present Lord Abb

stateliness of his manners, n day
riding through a village In the vicinity
of Oxford, met a lad dragging a calf
along the road, who. when his lordship
came up to him, made a stop and stared
him full in the face. His lordship
asked the boy If he knew him. He
replied: "Ees." What is my name?"

METHODS, HERE AND ABROAD.
Ways of Steering Boats in England,
France and Germany.

S :" AhS 1NANS
France and Germany.
A comparison of the different meth
DDS of doing what is practically the
same thing in various parts of the
world is both interesting and amusing
to the thoughtful observer, says Cas-
sier's Magazine On American ferry
boats the import is we'll known of the
''ting-ting' or "jiigle-jingle" of the bell
by which the man in the wheelhouse
communicates with his fellow-mortal
in the engine room. On the Thames,
however, it would be considered practi-
cally impossible to convey information
in this manner, and the captains ot ne
small paddle steamers on that stream
stand on the paddle-boxes and sing
out ease 'er!' "Back 'er!" etc..
apparently to nobody in particular.
while these interesting remarks are
promptly repeated in shril tones by a
small boy into a speaking tube which
communicates with the lower regions.
On the Seine, in France, this process is
simplified and a large trumpet-shaped
mouthpiece flares out in front of the
man at the wheel and he yells his COM
mands into this funnel, the other end
of which is supposed to reach the en-
gineer. The large steamers on the
Rhine, in Germany, are controlled, not
by the usual wheel placed in the wheel
house forward, but by a very large
wheel on a vertical axis, placed right
amidships upon an elevated platform
or bridge, and several men pass the
handles from right to left, or upon oc-
casion trot round in a circle, and it
would doubtless be considered a serious
temptation of Providence, or at least a
reflection upon the fatherland, if n
one were to attempt to construct a
Rhine steamer with the ordinary form
of steering gear.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

htulcy's Administration.
indianapolis. Ind. December li.-At the
open meeting held this afternoon the Ma
tional Civl Service Reform League. which
began its nineteenth annual convention
here today openly attacked the administra-
tion of President Mckinley in regard
to the order OF May % removing certain
officers from the civil service list
The following resolution was adopted:
The league pronounces the action of
the treasury department in refusing as
sstance of the public record to the league
IN matters of public concern, a violation
OF the undoubted right OF citizens in free
country TO learn from official sources how
faithfully the public servants they pay
administer the law. The force of the rea-
son assigned for this refusal is graeely
impaired by the fact that similar infor-
nation had been previously furnished to
the league by the department under the
present secretary of the treasury. This
REFUSAL exposes to reasonable suspicion
the good faith of the officials responsible
for 1t and suggests the existence of
abuses which the records withheld from
inspection might disclose, and we demand
that this unworthy policy OF coneealment
and secrecy BIO abandoned.

A DESPERATE BATTLE.
"Details Gathered from the Wounded

Soldiers
Modder River, Cape Colony, Tuesday
December "Details gathered here by
a reporter Of the Associated Press among
the wounded British and Beers gave some
idea OF the desperate nature OF the fight

escaped fearful loss. One Boer prisoner
said single lyddite shell killed or
wounded over seventy and that two other
shells burst over TWO bodies OF Roers
ensconced behind the range doing fearful
damage. All agree that the Rocrs fought
throughout with the utmost galuntry.
Their sharpshooters' seldom missed the
mark.
Seaforth Highlander says that while
he was lying wounded IN field he saw
Boer of typical German appearance
faultlessly dressed with polished top
field glasses, shirt with silk ruffies and.
ciga' in his mouth walking among the
anthills, picking off the British. He was
quite alone and it is apparent from the
frequent use he made of field glasses that
he was singing out officers.
Another wounded Boer says that lyd-
dite shell fired Sunday fell in the middle
OF an open prayer meeting held TO offer
supplications for the success of the Boer
arms. All the wounded are fun of praise
for the treatment they received from the
medical department on the battlefield
