GREAT deal of unhappiness wonl,

A GREAT deal of unhappiness would
n be spared us in this world if the
pagan in us would stop cropping up in
our tendency to consider ourselves as
picked out individually as marks for
the shafts of the gods--if we would but
adapt ourselves to a broader modern
view of life. If for instance, Miss Bah
bington had been willing to consider
Terriers case impersonally, in the light
of the triumph of environment over
heredity, both she and Terrier would
probably have been very much better
off-or even had she realized that it
was primarily her own fault, in any
event.
She would have married him and
have gone west with him when he
wanted her to go. He urged as much.
Fate and physicians conspired together
to send him to the jumping-off place;
the least she could do would be to go
along, he said. But Miss Darlington
was cast in the same mold as that
queen who ended upon the guillotine
because she would not fly from France
without her necessaire. She urged the
essentially of trousseau. Terrier
said things about clothes in general
that only the fact that he was i'll and
not himself could have excused-things
that no woman might hear unmoved
A final quarrel threatened, but it end
ed in a compromise.
Terrier would go to the Pacific coast
as he had been bid, and, the trousseau
being completed, Miss Darlington
should take along her mother and it
and marry him there. 1t would be
somewhat unconventional, but Cali
fornia itself was that, so no one would
have reason to be shocked. Moreover
the prospect of separation from Fer
rier for a year or so was thing Miss
Darlington did not like to contem
plate. She cared for him a good dea.
more than her insistence upon the
trousseau would lead one not versed in
the workings of the feminine mind t.
believe.

A Woman's Last Word.

If the two young people of whom An
swers tells this story were not recon-
ciled by their own absurdity, they at
least furnished amusement for others.
They had been engaged, but had
quarreled, and were too proud to make
up. Both were anxious to have people
believe that they had entirely forgotten
each other.

her father--On business, of course. She

You that are tired of music. here silence
doth begin
You shall not rise for dancing, or follow
wandering loves,
Here in my yew-boughs whispers only
the voice of doves.

water clear and sweet,
I'll bind about with linen your weary
hands and feet.
Lie down upon my couches that are of

You shall not lift your eyelids until the
night is gone.
"The wind howe'er it whistles shall
pierce no sleeper's ear;
The rain that cries and whimpers can
never enter here.
You shall not hear men groaning for
things that were divine,
Flung to the outer darkness or trampled

"Nor shall ghosts rise to trouble your

COURAGE OF THE DARK RACES.
Some Are Brave and Others Cannot
BE Induced to Fight.

Some Are Brave and Others Cannot
BE Induced to Fight.
In India there are races, like the
Bengalees and some of the tribes of 4,
Madras, who cannot by any provoca-
tion be induced to fight, or be trained
as soldiers, and they live side by side
with others, like the Ghoorkas-secured
for us by the intellectual acumen Of
one man, Brian Hodgson-and the Mo-
hammedan converts in Madras called
Moplahs, who are both probably braver
than the very bravest of the white
races. Why are the former such excep-
tlonal soldiers, while 1t Is fancied that
their close kinsfolk In the Shan States
and 1ndo-China are rather timid? IS
the cause merely the Rajpoot cross in
the Ghoorkas, who physically show no
Signs Of it, but look like rather Inf .rlor
Mongols; or Is 1t. as we half suspect,
that the Indo-Chinese are not towards
at all. but men who have lost some
thing, not so much of their nerve us Of
their self-confidence? The whole fu-
tire of the French occupation of lndo-
China, or of ours If we should ever SUI
percede them, depends upon the re-
spOnse to that question, to which as
yet the answer is most imperfect. Then

postman at the door, and leaned
over the banisters to inquire of my
landlady if there were any letters for

There was no immediate response to
my query, and inferred from the sus-

there were any. Again l asked:

gave to me n letter, two postcards and

One card from my tailor, to notify me
of his removal; one from Louis Du-

a certain engagement with me, and

shore until today. No boats are kept
at the cribs Thirty men who were
on the crib when the explosion took
place spent the night valnly signaling
for assistance. II was long after day
light before tug reached them. It Is
supposed that the men in digging
struck vein OF gas, which was igri-
ted by sparks made by a workman's
pick. Heavy iron girders and machli.
cry weighing more than 100 tons were
forced out of the shaft by the explo.
sion and the crib was wrecked. Death
must have been instantaneous to the
workmen in the tunnel SO great
was the destruction wrought that it
probably will be weeks before the
damage can be repaired and the bod
les OF the unfortunate men recovered.
James Williams, who lost his life IN

men who heroically entered the tun.
