Some timely advice is given by the

This advice is good. but the follow

While British trades unions had
not, in their origin, any direct con-
Germ with education, the Fortnightly
Review suggests that it is fact of
20 ordinary significance that some of
she leading labor unions are taking
great interest in the higher educa-
ton of workmen. The Amalgamated
Society of Engineers annually makes
. levy for sufficient money to main
tain six engineers at Ruskin College

The Paris Steele makes this admfs-
sion: The Frenchman of the middle
class sacrifices everything in order to
obtain for his children some official
position or other, a mean one, per-
haps, but sure one, leading after
thirty years OF perjury to a pension
verging on restitution. This is one
aspect of the decay Of the French
race. It is easy to understand that
two races are not armed evenly for
the struggle for life If one be made
up of aspirants to official positions
and the other OF individuals possess
Ing initiative, daring and energy. For
this reason do Latin races decline.
while Anglo-Saxon races grow and
multiply.

EYES," said Lady Featherstone.
It was not without certain Qualms
Of anxiety that Lady Featherstone
awaited the arrival Of her guests two
hours later; her courage faltered not
Q little at the prospect Of the effect
likely to be produced upon the rest Of
the company by the appearance Of one
OF their number clothed not only in
morning dress. but In very shabby
morning dress; and she wondered in
what possible way she could condone
what might not unreasonably be con-
strued into an offence against good
taste and the respect due to her other
guests. Why did Paul Gressonier in
sist upon being present under such
circumstances? He had never in the
early days of their acquaintance
shown himself deficient either in
breeding or in q knowledge of the
usages' of society, SO that there seemed
the less excuse for his present
strange want Of tact
The drawing room was already half
full of guests when the footman,
throwing open the door, announced
His Excellency the French Ambassa-
dor and the Count de Serillac."
Lady Featherstone turned as the
two gentlemen entered the room, took
step forward, then paused.
M. Chambord advanced with bow
and smile. But Lady Featherstone
scarcely noticed the ambassador. Her
color went and came, her heart beat
violently, her eyes remained fixed with
a bewildered wonder upon the. Count
de Serillac-clad in faultless evening
dress, the Order of the Grand Cross
OF the Legion of Honor upon his
breast, a smile upon his handsome
face.
mo, Madame" he answered, bow
ing over her hand; "but your most
humble, your most admiring, your
most devoted slave-Paul de Serillac!
Do you think" he whispered in her
ear, that / should really have come
to you like that-a poor broken down
man-and asked you to marry mel?
No, no, mon ange-it was to try you;
a little ruse. that is ALL And you
would have sacrificed everything for
me! You would even have sacrificed
your pride! You were wiling for me
to come here-even in rags-and dis
grace you before the French Ambassa-
dor and the Count de Serillac, is it
not? All, dear one, but I am not a
poor man-no, | am rich. You shall
sacrifice nothing for me-not even
your pride Of name, for Serillac, too,
that is good name in France; yes,
a good name for my dear one to bear!"
so, Lady Featherstone," said the
Ambassador, smiling, I see that you
and M. de Serillac are not. after
all, total strangers? You have met be-
fore?"
De Serillac placed his hand on the
ambassadors shoulder with good ma
tured laugh.
Forgive me, my friend" he said
Il have already the honor Of Lady
Featherstones acquaintance. We have
met before. And now that we have
met again, do not intend that Lady
Featherstone shall ever part from me
no, not any more!"-The Sketch.

his ground he kept his loss to himself
and walked away from the crowd.
After transacting a little business
In the neighborhood he turned toward
home. Remembering that he needed
a drink he stepped into a saloon.
He was in the midst of his story

unabashed Peterson.

Although blamed for epidemics and
sundry other evils, milkmen some
times have a redeeming sense of hui
MOI. At least a story told by Prof.
John C. Scott of Northwestern univer-
sity would indicate it. Professor
SCOTS milkman also furnishes his
family with eggs. One morning this
man, whom the professor in telling the
story called Peterson, brought half a
dozen eggs to the house. When Mrs.
Scott had occasion to use them she
broke one after another, but each
proved to have outlived its usefulness.
Mrs. SCOTS just Indignation arose I'M
til by the next morning it had reached
a high pitch. Incensed further by the
fact that there were no eggs to pre-
pare for her husbands breakfast, she
was ready to give vent to her wrath
when the offending milkman arrived.

piled, 'but were they satisfactory in
