Artificial Liqhtinu.

The candle and lamp, the gaslight,
the electric light-these are the steps
which mark the development of the
lamp. And how marvellous a growth
it is! How great the triumph over
darkness! In the beginning piece
of wood burns with dull fame and
fills the dingy wigwam or cave with
SCOT and smoke; now, at the pressure
of button the house is filed with a
light that rivals the light of day, with
not a particle of smoke or SCOT or
harmful gas. Are there to be further
triumphs in the art of lighting? Are
we to have light that shall driveSout
the electric lght?-Time only cap
tell.-St Nicholas.

Science of Blood Examination Still
In Its Infancy.
The microscopic examination of the
blood has become in recent years a
very common procedure in many cases
of disease. BY it the physician or
surgeon often obtains valuable as
sistance in arriving at a knowledge
of the nature of the disease which
he is called upon to treat.
The blood is examined with view
chiefly to ascertain the number, alb
solute and relative, of the red and
white corpuscles, and the percent
age of hemoelobin, or coloring matter
of the blood The red blood corpus
cles are vastly more numerous than
the white, about 100000, speaking
generally, being found in one cubic
millimeter of blood OF course, one
could not count so many, but the ap-
proximate result is obtained by count
ing the number in a determined frac'
ton of cubic millimeter. The same
method is followed in counting the
white corpuscles, of which there are
from 5000 to 10000 in cubic MILL
meter of blood
In anemia the number of red cor

Love
Pardon

The matter was settled yesterday at
Nesle.
The very mayor who married us
eight years before had pronounced us
divorced, in the same room and be-
fore the same witnesses.
My wife was accompanied by her
father, her mother, and two friends,
while my two old comrades, who had
assisted at the tying of my pretty
love-knot, came, with saddened faces,
to witness the severing of the bond.
A stir bow, exchanged at the be-
ginning and the end CT the ceremony,
was the only farewell between two
beings who for yeacs had never had
a thought that was noe shared. We
sat on bench, where, Ave minutes
before, had been smiling bridal pair,
and l felt within me an agitation that
was painful; there seemed to be
tension at my heart, as If my whole
being were about to be racke1 with
torture. Was it possible that my COM
panion and con6,lant, The woman who
had consoled and encouraged me in
all my trials, the woman | had loved
SO long and so dearly, could witness

the sweet past, the sundering of the

my glance wandered round the
room, from the ugly moulding of the
ceiling to the pictures on the wall;
hut suddenly it rested on graceful
head, with its soft dark hair, and,
through the meshes of my wifes veil
saw two sparkling teardrops.
"She, too, remembers and regrets"
I thought. perhaps she could for

every means of having an interview
with Helen: but my letters had been
intercepted, my messengers turned
away, and our only meeting had been
in the presence of a magistrate, an
utter stranger, who, with the best in
tensions, had by his cold formality
made matters even worse.
Since that day l have not entered

to pack up my clothes. l knew that

tails of the matter; was to spend the
night in the house, and the next morn
