declared essentially dramatic. His char
acterS acted rather than talked, yetgthere
was a sufiiciency of detail in the book
to make it interesting reading. The lee
turer declared that the book made a
decidedly playable play, differing in this
respect from the jority of the novels
of the so-called romantic school that have
within the last few years been crowdng
the book stores and not elevating the
stage. Analysing the character of Beau
caire, the lecturer declared it to be one
of the best pen portraits Of a gentleman
ever Sketched. In an age that was given
up to the utterance OF fine sentiments
rather than to the performance of deeds
of valor, Beaucaire stood out in pleasant
relief. He was not because of what he
said, but because of what he did.
The book was pronounced a fine little
bit of satire that might be truthfully APP
piled to the fashionable life of any period.
The denouement was a sharpSrap at all
who judge a man by his grandfathers
father rather than by himself. DR.. Bur
ton laid special stress on the artistic con-
clusion of "Beaucaire." The public, he
stated, owed Harrington a debt of graf
itude that he had not made his hero more
soft-hearted than level-headed. Another
author might have wasted Beaucaire
on Lady Mary.
The scene of the gambling episode
which opens the story, was read; also
that portion of the second act which tells
of Beaucaire's declaration of his love
for Lady Mary and the exposure of his
disguise; and the last and third and con-
GLIDING act, where Beaucaire proves his
title to the word gentleman" and takes
a ceremonious leave of the woman who
had not faith enough to trust him when
appearances were against him.

PERILs OF OCEAN CABLES.

Unexpected perils await submarine ca
bles, even in the depths of the. ocean.
Though the largest waves in a storm
probably do not appreciably disturb the
water beyond the first 100 fathoms if,
indeed, they go so far, currents are some
times strong enough to fray the cable
against some submarine crag, and various
living creatures will do it mischief.
Among them fishes have long been sus-
pected, and now the charge has been
proved in cable connecting Sydney with
Nelson. defect was detected, and ON
examining the piece a sharks tooth was
found embedded in the sheathing. AS
that consisted of the usual thick iron
wires and their outer covering, the agr
gressor must have given a hard bite. The
motive is not easily OWNED. Could the
shark have mistaken the cable, in the i'm
perfect light, for a new species of con-
ger, or did it, which seems more likely,
blunder against it at a place where it
did not touch bottom, and relieve it's
temper by vicious snap? A swordfish
will express it's resentment against
vessel by driving the bayonet at the end
of its nose into the planks, and narwhal
will use it's lance of ivory in similar fash
ion; each. like the shark, to it's own
detriment, for it illustrates the maxim,
Cant you leave it alone?'' by losing tho
weapon of offense. The conflict between
the shark and the cable occurred $50
fathoms below the surface, a depth which
formerly was supposed to be almost
lifeless. But deep sea dredging during
the last thirty or forty years told a diff
ferent story. In the open ocean living
creatures generally do not descend below
few hundred feet, though they are Often

creatures have been obtained, but they
are comparatively low in organization.
Still. fishes have been captured at the
lowest depths, in which cases they are
often blind. Even where they have

to turn on the light at will by being pro-
vided with phosphorescent organs.

You told her that Paul ought to be re-

"And you know that the climate for
him is much farther away and in a place
where he will receive the very best ac-

"Oh, see," she exclaimed will you
allow me the use of your pen for
minute" She was pulling off the right
glove. That done, she took a small long
book from her retiCule and opening it
wrote several lines.
Dr. Barnes watched her with the same
admiration he had felt each time he had
met her, but 1t was growing more ar
dent, more conscious. She looked up.
"Dr. Barnes, I know 1 can trust you"
and even he, a hardened old bachelor,
flushed bit You have been as good
as you have been skillful, and / am go

I want you to arrange for sending Paul

Odirondacks, to the best sanitarium there

well and strong. Here is my check for

over to him, land l will send more as it

DR.. Barnes held the bit of paper as if
1t were some magical thing that had
bereft him of speech. Presently he look
ed at it and then at her; then at the
check and at her again.

Women With Small Incomes.

The woman with a small income is

of affinity and color in dress, and if she
Is wise she keeps to a simple style which
happens to be her own. By doing SO she
brings in the virtue of Individual chic,
which in itself is a quality almost inim-
itab and not to be purchased by gold.
The woman gazing dolefully at the bal
ance which threatens soon to be on the
wrong side of her bank book may yet
take heart of grace and go in for the
simple friezes and the inexpensive stuffs.
To the country dresser friezes and tweeds
represent the modes of the moment.
There are a great many women wno
never lookrwell in what is known as the
real tailor-made, and this class will bless
the return to the Russian blouse style,
which can look it's best in heavy serge
or tweed properly weighted and pouching
ever so slightly back and front over a
Jeweled band or simple fold of grace
deity swathed round the figure. To a
woman of slight build there is no more
becoming fashion, and she may wear it
with confidence. although the newe :.
Paris modes only pouch in front, the
backs being mostly tight and plain. with
the exception of very wide pointed
band at the back. 1t is here that indi-
vldual taste may have full play, and sew

possible belts.
