 banishment into eternal night. He
 loved to hear the music of her voice and the ringing sweetness of her
 laugh, and sometimes when at the
 helm and she came and sat down be-
 side him. silently drinking in the in-
 vigorating air. 1t seemed to him as
 though they were voyaging in some other world, world of light and sur-
 shine, an existence whose peace and
 contentment surpassed that of human
 dreams. Forgotten was the past or
 toll and disorder. while the kingdoms
 of the earth had vanished with their
 sound of war and conflict. He put
 from his mind all thought Of the fu-
 ture. of the inevitable separation
 brought nearer by the passing of every
 league of their watery course. Con-
 tent he was to live in the golden pres
 ent and enjoy each transient moment.
 The past two years had worked a
 great change in Tonti. He was no longer the gay soldier of fortune, seek ing in the battlefield the means of live lihood and material advancement, un- settled in purpose. selling the service of his sword for a sum of gold and a promotion. realizing that his life was probably short. and hence prefer ably. merry one.

 LANITY.
 Arriving at Fort Niagara, Renee was
 turned over to the three nuns sta-
 tioned there. They sympathized with
 her in her hardships and gave devout
 thanks for her escape. One of them was filled with zsai to take the piace of her who was drowned on the trip. and, much to Renee's delight, obtained permission to leave for Michilimacki- mac when the vessel started. A week wss lost perfecting all arrangements. At the end of this time both Tonti and Renee were ready to proceed. al- though the latter vas still unable to walk without support The men with the stores had transported them from their boat, at the mouth of the river, 10 the fort. Tonti chose two vessels. the larger one for the supplies and the men conveying them. the other. small CT. for the use of his party. which was now increased by the addition of ore e< the priests from Fort Frontenac ~ho decided to take advantage of this opportunity to push on his way west ward.

It rather spurred him on in the tnvincible resolve to live his life, whatever 1t might be, 20 that he might remain worthy of her esteem. This it was that helped him to resist the temptation to be disloyal; to thrust from his thirsty lips the draught he could not taste without dishonor.

Persons living at remote distance
from the natural home Of the lobster
think that red is the original color of
that species Of crustacean. The natu-
raj hue, however. is green, the beauti-
full bright brick color being the result
Of boiling to which such creatures are
subjected. Two explanations for this
change in color are given, either of
which appears to be tenable: Their
shells contain n large per cent Of iron,
and the boiling process oxidizes that
mineral, the change being almost ex.
actly the same as that brought about
in burning brick. Such a change In
the color of Holsters shell can be
brought about by the suns action, but
never while the lobster is living. AS
a rule, however, the SUMS bleaching
influence consumes the oxide almost us
fast as it is formed, leaving the shell
pure white.
The second explanation is that the
original green color is due to the blue
and red pigments, the blue being SOL
uble and the red insoluble in boiling
water. When the lobster is boiled, the
blue pigment is dissolved, leaving the
red to color the creatures shell.

larity In Feeding.
Punctuallty in feeding your baby is
CT all things the most essential, and
habits of regularity in all of his func-
tons cannot be begun too soon. Once
let him get into bad habits of any kind,
such as walking the floor With him,
flushing" him to sleep or feeding him
at Irregular Intervals, and your pence
In life Is destroyed The inexperienced
mother and nurse are prone to fall into
these errors. and bitterly do they have
to pay the consequences imposed by
the tiny tyrant. But the mother of
four children has learned wisdom In
baby management, and she knows that
punctuality in feeding Is not only as
important rs discipline, but requisite
as a rule of health. 1t must be begun
the first day or two after birth, and
the two hours interval rightly observ-
ed during the daytime.
A healthy baby will sleep seven or
eight hours at night without awaken
Ing. and you should not arouse him
for feeding, but let him continue his
baby dreams, because he will not sleep
too much. As his growing continues
and he begins to take more noursh-
ment for his meals the intervals be-
tween the feelings must be increased.
As good as n clock In the house is

regular habits from birth. He will
take a nap after each bottle or nurs-

The Burial Of the Living.

From evidence difficult to dispute, it
appears that III the Celestial empire
old, incurably diseased and hopelessly
depraved persons are frequently buried
alive to rid the community Of the bur-
den and responsibility Of their care
taking. This arrangement is the re-
suit Of mutual understanding, the
victims asserting to and at times as
sisting in the preliminary ceremonies.
The usage seems to have been rec
ognized by the highest authorities, and
the burials have certainly been con-
Quoted with the sanction of the ruling
powers. Great preparations are made,
and there is much ado and sometimes
a show Of grief. but n great deal of
the latter is evidently perfunctory, as
there is an all around feeling of sat
isfaction OH the part of the spectators
and more or less compacency on the
mind of the victim, who is comforted
by the assurance that he is fulfilling u
tradition and will earn the respect Of
bis ancestors and gone befores.

Why should we try so hard to look
young? Barrie is right When he says
the face of woman at fifty is far
more charming than that of young
girl, because the girls character is con
cealed by her round checks, her bright
eyes, her full lips. But Mt fifty it is
there without anything to hide 1t, and
If the soul is lovely the face will be
lovely too. Somehow women have
come to think of youth us the one
beauty. 1t is charming while 1t lasts;
but, after all, only youth is youth.
Nothing can give Its bloom, its genius,
not the finest figure, the most faultless
couture. the best preserved complex
Ion. This very expression illustrates
tt-best preserved. 1t is like jam after
fresh fruit. But when youth goes it
takes with 1t many follies, many crudi-
ties. The woman enters upon new
kingdom. She should rule it gracious
~, without one backward glance, lest
she should turn not into pillar of
salt, but into something worse, as all
know who have met the woman who
looks ever backward. A woman should
never be without charm. She need
never be. but she should realize that
all things change, and she should yield
herself gently 10 the hands of time

A CENTURY OF LIFE.
II Might BE Inconvenient IL Ever
Ono Lived a Hundred Years.

II Night Be Inconvenient IL Every
Ono Lived a Hundred Years.
Suppose man fifty years old, max
ing good income from his business,
were to decide to live till he was hun
dred and not to retire. until he was
ninety.
The first consequence would be that
he would have the opportunity of max
ing much more money than If he died
Mt seventy; next, that his children
would have to wait much longer for it.
Now, supposing him to have attained
the age of ninety, the more money
that he takes out of his business the
less there will be for others to take.
His three sons. Junior partners In the
same firm, aged sixty-flve downward,
and his nine grandsons, aged forty
downward, will find very little to take
out of the business between them. The
business, in fact, would not "go
round"
Even more distressing would be the
case of the family in which there was
no business out Of which an income
could be obtained. The old baronet,
aged hundred, would still be living
at the family seat, enjoying the income
he had inherited. His son, wearing on
to eighty and possibly still great
trial to his parents, would be eking
out precarious existence on very lit
tie more than he was allowed at Ok
ford and for his part quite unable to
make his own sons any allowance at
all, much less to tip his great grand
sons when they weAt back after the
holidays to the rate provided schools.
These sons and grandsons would
have to go into business. But into
what business could they go?
Possibly 1t might be found necessary
to compel person attaining the age Of
seventy to give up his money and his
estate to his son and to live on small
pension allowed him out of the wealth
he had inherited or acquired, or posi-
bly, there might be u rule that man
on attaining the age of forty might
claim complete control of his fathers
money and estate. provided that he un-
dertook to house his parents and grand
parents and to make them small al
lowance
But even then not all the inconven-
fences and uncertainties would be end
ed. Even If man undertook at the
age of forty all those obligations and
had housed, say. parent, couple of
grandparents and possibly two or three
great-grandparents in number OF
ESQ cottages on the family estate and
were making Them allowances suitable
to their respective ages 1t would yet
be almost beyond his power to pre-
vent them from reasserting themselves
should they desire to do SO. A mans
father. still In the prime Of life at
seventy. might decide to set up in bust
ness afresh. in competition against the
old business he had just relinQulshed
TO his son. He might even, with his
more mature experience. cut out the
old firm altogether. and then all the
difficulties and Inconvenience would
begin over again.-London Spectator.
