Ten days later news came to Mount
berry that Craiglands was preparing to
receive her grace of Marlborough, who
was returning with her son, Lord Iverne,
and her daughter-in-law, Lady John Glen
durwood, and, as may be supposed, the
village was greatly exercised IL its mind
over this intelligence, having had its
curiosity whetted considerably by the
vague and unsatisfactory rumors that had
been circulated about the same said Lady
John.
Dinglewood House was shut up. and it
was understood vaguely that Miss Fraser
was visiting, though where no one exact
IT, knew. 1t was generally voted annoy
ing that Sheila should have been absent
just now She could have thrown light
on a good deal of what was perplexing,
and have, moreover, given the real &C
count of what had happened at the ball !;
whether it was true that Lady John had
fli-+od and behaved so abominsbly, or
whether DIR. and Mrs Thorngate were
correct in saying that somebody had imi-
tated hc< ladysbip's domino. and cleverly
fricked tho vfoIa room of quests into
imagining that it was Lady John who so
thoroughly disgraced herself and her hus-
bands name. Then Sheila, too. could
have given the exact history as to what
had occurred between Lord John and his
wife, and what was the meaning of all
the extraordinary rumors that had been
circulated.
But Sheila was not on hand to be
questioned. and, in default of encourage
ment, it was really wonderful how soon
the excitement and curiosity began to
die away and how readily everybody grew
to consider Audrey as having been most
injured by the trick that had been so
wantonly played upon her. In fact, by
the time Christmas was due, Lady John
and her doings were a theme too old to
be mentioned anywhere, and the affairs
at Craiglands would have been passed
over as almost Indifferent and uninterest-
ing, but that, just as the joybells were
proclaining the birth of new Christ
child, the icy fingers of the death angel
were laid upon the heart of Duncan, Mar
quis of Iverne, and he was taken from
his bed Of suffering to reign of peace
and rest.

Taking up carpets IS one of the most
disagreeable of housekeeping tas.s.
usually, for the simple reason that the
majority OF persons do not properly
perform the work.
To prevent the usual cloud OF dust
when removing a carpet, first loosen
the tacks. picking them all up as
drawn. which will prevent accidents
and take only few minutes of time.
Do not move the edge of the carpet
until all the tacks have been removed !;
then begin Mt one side and roll the car
pet carefully to the other side of the
room.
Two or three persons can roll it bet
ter than one alone Lift is carefully at
both ends and the middle at the same
time. and carry it out of doors and
away from the house to be cleaned
Begin at one side of the room again
and roll the papers with the dust on
them, taking only few at a time, and
being very careful not to disturb the
dust.
Carry the rolls out as they are made
and pile them on the ground where
they can be burned.
When the papers have all been re-
moved there will be no dust on the
floor or in the air, and hopping Of
the floor with clean mop and good
suds will make it fresh
If there was no paper under the car
pet the taclzs and carpet should be re-
moved ia the same manner and lot Of
bits of newspaper well dampened
should be scattered over the dusty
iloor. Stir the paper gently about with
the broom so as to gather the dust ::
then take it up in little piles on the
dustpan.
Scatter another lot of the dampened
paper and sweep It gently together
then mop the floor with good suds.

SLEEVE IN PLACE. woman has invent
ed simple contrivance which does
away with all these trying perplexi-
ties, and she thinks so highly of the
device that she has had it patented in
the United States. AS shown in illus
tration, it comprises a narrow elastic
band, having on each end ring, one
being larger than the other. Attached
TO the band is a double cord. In using
this device the band is formed into n
lasso (by slipping the smaller ring
through the larger one), which is slip
ped over the end of the sleeve of the
waist. The fine end of the band is then
secured to the thumb by the ring. The
cord is attached TO the little finger.
After slipping the arm into the sleeve
of the coat the ring on the thumb is
released and the band pulled out Of the
armhole by means of the cord.

AGED IN FIVE YEARS.
In Brief Period, Great Engineer
Hair Turned White.

Hair Turned White.
At half-past 8 o'clock on the MORN
ing of November z, 1885, at Craigel-
lachie, British Columbia, an old man,
whose hair was snowy white, drove a
golden spike into the cedar tie upon
which the rails met from east and west.
The man was Donald Smith. ahe
spike completed the Canadian Pacific.
In the terrible five years of its build
ing, from 1880 to 1885, he had changed
from a strong, black-bearded. sturdy
man to white haired veteran.
In the following year Mr.. Smith was
rewarded for his services with knight
hood in the order of st. Michael and
St George. His cousin, Mr.. Stephen.
has already been recognized with a
baronetcy, and both had been immor-
talized in the names of two of the
greatest mountains of the Canadian
rockies, Mount Donald and Mount Ste
phen.
Since the completion of the Canadian
Pacific railway Lord Strathcona's ap-
pearance has scarcely altered. At the
age of 81, says a writer in The Worlds
Work, his eyes are as clear as they
were thirty years ago. His form is
slightly bent with age, but he still
walks with firm and steady step. he
talks freely and brightly on the topics
of the day, though never committing
himself on matters Of state, and he al.
ways makes his visitors feel at ease
from the moment he begins conversa-
ton to the time when he bids him q
CHEEKY Goodbye
1t is this sense Of persistent kindli.
ness that has won for him such a host
of friends. Once you have experienced
it you can well understand why the
king and queen of England dispense
with all formality where he is concern
ed-why they call him Uncle Donald
You feel that he is Uncle Donald" to
you and to all the people who come
within the circle of his friendship. This
characteristic sums up the man as he
is to-day.
There is one little feature which MAJ
mean much or little, but which visitor
to Lord Strathcona cannot but notice
When indoors he always wears a little
brown mat of silk, daintily crocheted
on the top of his head to cover the
place where the once abundant hair hal
| disappeared.
Why he wears this little cap nobody
seems tot know, but there must be some
reason of no ordinary nature. for i
gives him great deal of trouble, slip
ping over his head whenever he turn:
with quick movement, as he often doe
when engaged in a conversation which
interests him. He always balances i

matter of taste what the woman thinks
all right and just the proper cut and
shade may not appeal to a man. Prob
ably the woman is expected to find
out first just what the gentleman likes
and then supply herself. Upon this
theory it Is wonder that there are
so many badly dressed wives, but may
be it Is because they dress to please
their husbands and there is no disput-
ing about tastes.

The wonder is that such girls could

that in the secondary schools one often

statement of fact so obvious that one
wonders that President Seelye should
