What lie Wished.

No fairyland care TO know,
This world is good enough for me;
like it very much, although,
Some changes ! should like to see.
/ wish that study were like play,
Aud school circus of delight;
And that twas summer every day,
And all the rain would fall at night.
| wish that luscious az ice cream
Were castor oil and ipecac;
And that the dentists chair would seem
TO me my frisk pony's back.
! wish that whippings made me gay
And happy, and would never hurt;
And that | had ten meals n day.
And each one nothing but dessert.

Tho esrIdom Of Arusssl.

The Duke of Norfolk has acknowl-
edged the truth of the singular story
that has recently been told about the
chief of his country seats, the famous
Arundel castle. In Sussex. IL seems
that the ownership entitled to The
title and honors" of the Earldom of
Arundel, the most ancient title In the
peerage. " Is not at all likely that
the house OF Howard. of which
the Duke of Norfolk Is the
head, will get into financial hard luck,
and be forced TO part with the castle
as valuable asset. but If In the
course of human events such climax
comes In inc family fortunes of the
Howards, there Is said TO be no legal
obstacle to prevent the purchaser of
Arundel castle, even if he be the new
est of the new among the untitled mil
lionalres, from taking his seat in the
house of Lords as the Earl of Arun-

more than $50 years before Christie

surveys FOR the establishment of popu.

A Grain of Sand.

"Mother! mother! there's something
in my eye; please take 1t out, quick"
Flossy came hurrying to her mothers
room. Her blue eyes were bloodshot,
her eyelids swollen and the tears were
running down her checks.
"Why, what is it," asked her moth
er, as she put her arms around the
child.
~ don't know; it's an awful big
thing. The wind blew It in my eye
minute ago"
The mother examined the afflicted
eye carefully, but could find nothing
except tears.
81 don't see anything In It, dearie."
"But it's there, mother; please do get
1t out. 1t makes me SO uncomforta-
ble."
The mother looked again. Then she
bathed the hurt eye with. warm water.
and told Flossy to keep It closed for
time; but the poor eye did not get any
better. Something was in it-some-
thing as big as IA marble, Flossy
thought.
"Well, Flossy, think we had better
go TO DR.. Wright and see what he can
do" said her mother, after trying
everything she could think Of for the
relief of her little daughter.
DR.. Wright was the good doctor Flos-
sy loved, and she stood very quietly
with her face In the light as he kept
her eyelid open.

Flossy sat down by the window,
pouting. In a little while her face
frightened. and she came to her
mother and put little soft kiss on her
cheek.

In Ruasfa.

A correspondent of a London news paper writing from Odessa says the continued unrest among the industrial classes in Russia is causing the liveli- est concern among the military and civil authorities, both central and pro vincial. This has been increased by for a general trades union of all the workmen in the iron and steel facto- ries. He says that the government is gradually awakening to realization of the fact that the time is approaching rapidly when it will no longer be safe to take the side of the employers against the employed as matter of course. He quotes significant remark made in his presence short time ago by an experienced inspector of Russian factories. He said: "If Russia were to find herself at war tomorrow with great power, she might possibly be able to wage it without any obstructive drawback in the shape of internal trou- ble and complication but if we should be launched into great struggle at the end, say, of the next quinquennium. and things should drag along in the meantime in their present precarious and treacherous groove. then we should require a strong garrison in every in- dustrial center in the empire. We should want 100000 or 3OOOOO troops in Finland and 5OO,0oo in Poland, to say nothing of the requirements of the Caucasus. Industrial discontent and political disaffection are for funda- mental reasons you will readily under stand synonymous and inseparable terms and quantities as applied to the mass of my countrymen."

The Doom of Newton Miners.

A West Newton Pa.) dispatch says: The doom of 16 men buried in the Port Royal coal mine was sealed when the waters of the Youghiogheny river were turned into the mine.
 As the water went rushing into the mine, sweeping through the shafts, headings, drifts and air passages, the wives, daughters and sweethearts of the doomed men stood around the mouth of the works, wild with grief and terror, listening to the roar of the muddy tide that sealed the fate of their loved ones.
 Some pleaded for one more effort to rescue the men, while others gave themselves up to mute despair.
 It was the most awful scene ever wit messed in this region.
 All night long men with huge drilling machines worked hard sinking inn mense wells in the bottom of the Youghiogheny river, which runs above the mine. Through these wells the wa ter was turned on early today.
 For two days the waters will be al- lowed to run into the mine, quenching the fires raging within it. It will take year to pump it out, and until then the bodies of the miners cannot be re- covered

than in the prison. Tn the continual change of scene the men would forget the past and no longer brood over their mistakes or plot revenge. The continual change of scene would induce them to forget their condition, and the wages paid them would be of assistance when the day of discharge came.
 By such a plan the convict would make adequate and just reparation to the state for his offense. For his breach of law he would have contributed to the wealth of the country. This public sentiment would quickly perceive, and the convict would be more liable to get better treatment in the way of future employment.

The MilIerand Matter.

The last two annual congresses of French Socialists have been greatly agitated by the question as to whether the present French minister of com merce, M. Millerand, who is Socialist, did right in accepting a portfolio in the [ Wa1deck- Rousseau ministry. which is designated as a "bourgeOiS, cabinet y Last year the congress met in the Sale Wagram in Paris and after tempestu- ous debate and the withdrawal of the revolutionary faction decided that M. Millerand's position in the present cab inet was purely personal matter which had no socialistic significance one way or the other.
 The congress of 1901 has just closed it's sessions in the Sale des FoIies-Ber- gere in Lyons. In spite of the fact that during the past year M. Millerand had been instrumental in having passed several measures of great benefit to the labori1g classes and is still about to propose others quite as beneficial a prepared to drive him out of the party or the ministry. A measure was intro duced by M. Delaporte declaring that M. Millerand had placed himself out side the Socialist party by his action. This was rejected by vote of 91O to 286, and in conseqeunce the revolution ary section, as usual, left the hall as a mark of protest.
 Subsequently the congress adopted by 904 to 42 motion proposed by M. Briand declaring that M. Millerand's position in the ministry could not bind the Socialist party to the executive power and that M. Millerand conse- quently did not represent that party in the cabinet. The motion further set forth that the attitude of the party to- ward the present ministry should be the same as toward all bourgeois min- istries and hence determined exclusive ly by the interests of the Socialist pro letariat. This means that Socialist dep uties will only support those govern ment measures which may be deemed socialistic. The late congress is consid- cred important as more distinctly than eyer drawing the line between fhemar- archist socialists and those who would bring about state of socialism by leg islative means.
