There was no political purpose or
importance in the visit of Queen Vic
toria to Ireland. 1t was undertaken
by the aged sovereign simply to show
the Irish people how fully she appre-
ciates the loyalty and gallantry of Ter
Irish soldiers; but like many another
kindly deed. it may have more e2-
tended results. Mr.. Gladstone enact
ed series of reform measures based
upon justice, but England and Irs-
land remained estranged. The Union
ist government armed the Irish people
with complete control over local ad-
ministrations, yet the breach between
the two peoples was not healed. The
queens gentle policy of gratitude and
womanly sympathy may fail. as Mr..
Gladstone's measures and Lord Sails
bury's concessions failed; but her
method appealed to the head, and
her motive is so sincere that it can
hardly be misunderstood. She may
succeed where statesmen were de-
feated.

Chas. H. Mason. formerly widely

agent whose place of business was on
North Sixth street. The defendants are
Mrs. Eliza Cram, his daughter, and

progressing smoothly when r. s.

defense, called Mr.. Frazer for the pur-
pose of having him identify the alleged

hard time to profit by their brain

state department by Consul General
Guenther at Frankfort. He cites the
case of foreman who invented sub
stance used in finishing velvet. Be-
cause he impaired his invention tc
persons outside of the firm for which
he worked the foreman was tried and
convicted of revealing a trade secret,
although this secret was his own. The
German court took the ground that it
was duty of the foreman to make ex-
periments; that his inventions be-
longed to his employers and that he
had no right to expose them.

as he sat In his study, his pen never
faltered in the message he was writ
ing to John Carleton. The answer
that came by return post was to the
effect that John Carleton utterly re-
pudiated his wife; he never would for
give her desertion of him and was
about to seek divorce.
And so there came to Philip Penrose
the greatest temptation of his life. All
through the long. weary night he
wrestled with 1t, and when morning
came it found him aged and worn. but
with grim, determined look on his
face. Into the letter that was to plead
for the honor and happiness of the two
beings he loved best on earth he
threw all the eloquence and passion
of which he was capable. With what
magical power he wrote may be judged
by the reply:
Dear Old Boy:-You have conquered.
You have shown me plainly wherein I
was wrong and the way to happiness
again. / long to clasp my wife in my
arms. God bless you. Philip"
And Philip? Well. he Is one OF the
ablest physicians of the day and has
amassed fortune. His hair and
shaggy beard are quite gray now, and
he is still a bachelor. But, standing
on his desk in heart-shaped frame,
there is picture of a young girl,
whose dark eyes bear a resemblance to
those of Johns wife. 1t may be that

Most common is the remark: What
interesting people one meets in trav-

ed for differing from this belief. The
interesting people one meets in trav-
cling are extremely likely to keep to
themselves. They do not wear their
hearts upon their sleeves. Therefore.
II they are interesting. that trait Is
kept for their friends. On the other
hand, the fools. bores and Doors OBJ

that our cavalry has got into their midst. The dashing style in. which the Second Dublins and the First Royal Irish Fusiliers stormed the Boer strong hold on Talana Hill, the Dublins being first into the intrenchments, supplies one of the thrilling episodes of the cam paign; as Yule's. night march out of Dundee led by the Dublines through the denee darkness, furnishes one of the weirdest, and as the subsequent misfortune of the gallant Faug-a-Bal- laghs at Nicholson's Nek constitutes one of the saddest.
 One must know the traditions of these Faugh-a- Ballaghs how the regiment, for instance, as may be read in the his- tory of the Peninsular war, covered itself with glory under Lord Cough, and was in recognition styled 'the Prince of Wales's Own Irish Fusiliers" ito understand the fierce sorrow which swept their ranks when they found 1t necessary to surrender to the Boers.

 keeping, to wait upon children, to at-
 tend to the endless mending of small
 garments and the sewing on of buttons
 in short, to carry part of the burden
 of the everlasting little which weighs l heavily on the houeemistress, provided the wife can earn enough to pay for the added convenience. When the period arrives in which the growing children
 take precedence In parental calculations
 of every other necessity, when there are
 dancing lessons, and opportunities for culture in endless variety for which continual provision must be made, the wife's share in the payment of bills may
 be no slight one. If she earn only her
 pin-money, she may thus acquire and retain a pleasing sense of independence, and have an advantage over her oppo- site neighbor, to whom pin-money is an ever-vanishing mirage on the horizon.
 The difficulty about the matter is two-fold. In their youth, married peo- pie presumably anticipate the coming of children. For the sake of unborn children, it is usually better that mother should not be taxed mentally or physically by the relentless and imper- ous requirements of wage-earning vo- cation. Even if che carry on her writ ing, or her painting or ner exquisite needlecraft exclusively at home, the de- mands it must needs make upon her will not tell favorably, as rule, on her offspring. In the second place, hus- band is in peril of reversing the position he ought to assume as the protector ot and provider for his wife, and of lean- ing on her, of suffering her to undertake taeks beyond her strength, and of ac- cepting from her sacrifices which she should never be allowed to make.
 This, like any other problem, cannot be arbitrarily legislated upon by out siders. Each family must resolve upon its own course of action. Most of us could get on very comfortably with a simpler style of living, and would, be better off in the end if we acknowledg ed fewer wants Civilization creates many artificial values. The life of towns presents occasions for spending on every side, and necessarily hedges with thorns the path of the frugal, who are anxious to save If married people are to get on, to get ahead, they must economize in the beginning. Whether or not the joint savings are larger where both earn the income is an un- settled question; in the large, question to which different couples may easily give different nswere.--Margaret B.

The situation In South Africa con- tinues dubious. The War office in Lon don hasn't any news that it wants to give out. Nobody seems to know what has happened to "Spion kop' or to the British troops that were going to take it. The meagre news that leaks out in- dicates that if the pressure on the Boers is strong they are strongly and stub bornly resisting it. There are also in- dicattons that the British have learn ed to make haste slowly and to be very careful about their movements. They no longer expect to carry every thing with rush.
