A LETTER IN FRENCH.

Alicia was very unhappy. She was paying her yearly visit to her Aunt Eliza and her Uncle Thomas-really her great-aunt and her great-uncle- and this was the first time that it had not been a delight to her. It was hard to have before her all the time a face that she had left beehind and that she had not wanted to leave behind; boy ish face with eager, dark eyes that only left her when, she slipped away into sleeps forgetfulness at night, to
 greet her at her first awakening in the
 morning.
 Aunt Eliza and Uncle Thomas were very old. Aunt Eliza confided to Alicia
 the first night of her arrival, sitting on
 the piazza, with the moon shining
 down between the branches of the blue Wisteria vine that she was afraid that Uncle Thomas could not last much longer. And Uncle Thomas took occa- sion to tell the girl the next morning on the same piaZZa-only under the in- f1uence of the sun instead of the moon that it made him very sad every time he looked at her aunt; he might be called upon to give her up any moment. Aunt Eliza came around the corner 1 of the house presently. She had on a | white morning gown and a shade hat , with a wreath of dark red roses on it, | tied over her beautiful silvery hair. She walked as lightly as young girl. Uncle Thomas carefully put his glass;
 es on his nose. Eliza" he said firmly,
 come in out of the hot sun. Why
 don't you make up your mind that you l are getting old? Now, began to ac- cept old age twenty-five years ago." <

i SHREH.D SCHEME.

The probability is that when the Pan- anna canal is done it will be useful, anG it may pay in time. But it is interest ing to notice that only about a year more will be required to complete the harbor entrances and wharfage for the Tehuantepec railroad at Cootzacoolcos and Solina Cruz. The British company which has rebuilt the railroad line, 1SO miles long, promises to afford a service of twenty-five days by the new route, as against the thirty-five or forty days now taken to transport freight between San Francisco and New York via Pan anna, and approximately thirty days via American rail lines. The important announcement is made that the Amer ican-Hawaiian Steamship company, now operating fleet of steamships be- tween San Francisco, Hawaii and New York through the Straits of Magellan, has concluded contract with the Tehuantepec road for the operation of connecting steamship lines on both the Pacific and Atlantic sides, and will use the seven vessels now operated via the Straits of Magellan in this service, in addition to two new ships about to be built.
 Wait until the United States gets into the transportation business south of the Tehuantepec railroad. Then the fur and the freight will fly.

Governor Charles J. Bell, the farmer executive of Vermont, is disappointing those, who predicted that he would prove little more than a figurehead gov- ernor. If reports are to be believed his is certainly a strenuous life Governor Bell thinks naught of rising at o'clock in the morning, and, after a hearty breakfast, looking Over his farm. Then he may hurry away one hundred miles or so to address a grange meeting and wind up by addressing a meeting of vermonters in Boston that same even ing.

The newspapers recently told about
 the apparition of Major Sir Carne Rasch seen in the House of Commons by Sir Gilbert Parker, Sir Henry Camp bell Zimmerman and other distinguish ed men, when that soldier M. P. was known to be confined to his home by illness. Professor James H.

A proposal to place a bust of Victor Hugo in the courtyard of the>1ast house he occupied in Paris before going into exile in 1881 brings to light a couple of curious facts. The house stands in the Rue la Tour d'Auvergne, and is in much the same condition as when Hugo lived there. The concierge who let Hugo into his rooms is still concierge at nine ty-three, and the tenant who succeeded Hugo has never left. He is M. Robin, vice president of the Society for the Aid of shipWrecked Seamen. He is eighty-six. Hero worship seems to be pSeservative.

Melville E. Ingalls,, former president of the Big Four railroad system, tells this story, of walters tip. He was lunching alone in a Cincinnati cafe. Near by sat a dignified gentleman who casually asked his waiter: How ia business?'' The man said he was not doing well, upon which the dignified individual expressed regret, saying
 Personally, I have always treated yolir craft in this house generously" The waiter was assiduous in his atten- tions and helped the guest on with his coat. The dignifed man laid his hand on the walters arm and said: "Young man, you seem to be discontented with your lot, and I am going to give you the best tip you ever received. Get into some other business And he strolled away leaving the waiter speechless.

Full returns from the recent election in East Finsbury, London constitu- ency, show how great is the change of sentiment on the Balfour government even in 8 city where he has been strongest. The Evening Post thus an- alyzes the figures: Tn 1900 the Conserv- atives carried 1t by BAT; now the Lib erals win it by 76S. While the Liberal vote increased by 800, the Conservative fell off more than 800. Since 1900 there have been about sixty bye-lections. In them the net result has been to change a Conservative majority of 28 into a Liberal majority of 10, while in the &C., tual votes cast the Liberals have shown an increase of 36 per cent, but the Conservatives a decrease of 2 per cent.
