One WlO mas naQ some eADeTlenCe III these matters puts fraud as a primary cause for the disappearance of men, and also assigns to women and drink very prominent places. Such men make too much money. and find the charm of the home circle less pronounced than it was before they could afford to spend so free ly. Others go off their head by reason of overwork There is the case of the man who suddenly goes away to the seaside or the continent with a large sum of money. and who finds his chief amuse- ment in throwing sovereigns to the chill dren in the streets. Such a man Is easily located by reason of his eccentrictty. He has even been known to be taken pos session of by disreputable people, and 10 be held to all intents and purposes TOT ransom. But that is not case In which the dfsappearance is mysterious, in the ordinary sense of the word, Just as there is little that Is incomprehensl- ble in the flight of the business man whose affairs are in a hopeless muddle, and who leaves the country In a hurry with the assent of his partner. There IS no mystery, either, when men recelve a shock which sends them off their bal ance. and leads them to do that which their friends never suspected would De possible in their case. Unquestionaoly considerably number of perfectly lnho- cent men disappear every year rom
 causes of this kind. The more simple ana kindly the man. the greater the shock as a rule. A doctor was attending a lady patient, her husband at the same time being in the room, when suddenly the invalid threw her arms round the med1- cal mans neck and declared that she was passionately attached to hlm. The doctor startled and indignant, assured her husband that no action on his part had in any way justified his wife's be- havior. '"You need not tell me that" was the reply, flor she has been telling me the last three days that she intended to do this, and thought had better be present for your sake" In this way hysterical woman may easily create situation which to a sensitive nature might suggest either flight or suicide.

HARD TIMES IN HONDURAS.
Probable Paralysis When the Panama
Canal is Built

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
British Honduras is sometimes called the
Ireland of America. Blessed with a soil
of unsurpassed fertility, a mild and equable
climate, and a variety of natural produc
tons but rarely found within so restricted
an area, the colony is yet afflicted with
hard times. Although one of the most
thinly populated of the habitable regions of
the globe, the number of it's inhabitants is
constantly decreasing; the labor market is
overstocked, agricultural industries are de-
Ginning, trade and commerce languish and
the pinch of depression is felt by all classes
The reason for this state of affairs is not
hard to discover. 1t is the same curse that
has crushed Ireland, absentee landlordism
in a little different but no less fatal form.
The area of the colony is only 1886 square
miles OF this $500 square miles, or one
third, is owned by one London land COM
pany. In all, more than four-fifths of the
colony is the property of handful of Eng
lish proprietors who will not sell nor lease
permit settlement or cultivation They
derive a sure, steady and perpetual income
by working the mahogany, rosewood, cedar,
logwOod and other natural products of the
forests, and for this reason desire to keep
their domains forever a wilderness.
An effort has been made to compel these
absentee landlords to sell their holdings at
an appraised valuation. However, so over
shadowing is their influence that the laws
passed for this purpose have proved in
operative. 1t, therefore, seems probable
that the country will long continue to be
held in pawn by few English proprietors,
who have never even visited its shores, and
that it's wealth will be sent abroad to en-
remaining to stimulate trade and industry

Chaplain of the Tuilleries.
From the London Chronicle

A singular parsonage in Paris social life,
says our Paris correspondent, has disap-
peared in the person of ex-Monsignor
Bauer, who was formerly the brilliant
chaplain of the Tuilleries, NJ. Bauer, who
was of Jewish extraction, began life as IA
stock brokers' clerk, but suddenly aban-
doned that calling and entered the Semi
nary of st. Sulpice. After his ordination
his eloquence attracted Napoleon III. who
offered him a court chaplaincy, with the
special task of teaching the prince imperial
elocution. Monsignor Bauer drew large
congregations and on several occasions he
occupied the pulpit of Notre Dame. He
accompanied the Empress Eugene to
Egypt, and delivered a magnificent dis
course at the inaugural ceremony of the
Suez canal. During the war of 1870 Mon
Sgnor Bauer attended the sick and wound
ed outside the walls of Paris.
In 1872 he wrote to Cardinal Guibert in
forming him that for personal reasons he
could no longer support the yoke Of the
priesthood. Since then the eX-prelate has
been a constant frequenter of the opera
and the affable patron of art and literature
His means We're considerable and he gave
away a good deal in charity. He was very
popular among his former imperialist
friends and enjoyed joke over his former
career On one occasion he met General de
Galliffet on the staircase of the opera and
gave him a punctilious military salute. The
general smiled benignantly, and, raising his
hand solemnly, blessed the ex-monsgnor.
