to go. Nicholas Harding followed i'll
the same year as his namesake of all
the RuSsiaS. The next and last-it
seems but the other day-was Claire,
his daughter, loving and beloved
wife and Il mother whose children
miss and mourn her daily. though most
of them have children of their own.
But 4 little while ago this story
might have left them still together
the bent old man with the thoughtful
eye and many wriukleS-the white
haired, sweet faced mUthcrly woman.
Yet then their story had not been told,
for there is that in it which Thomas
Erickson never would tell his wife. He
never told how they tried to cut his
heart out with the lash. He never
told her how nearly they succeeded.
And still, when he thinks of that. is he
grateful to the long dead maniac to
whom he owed so various debt
1t is the old mans pleasure to hear
and read of the noble colony sprung
lmiraculOusly from the cruel dust and
ashes of sixty years ago He has new
er revisited it. In the old country he
has lived and he will die Less fortu-
nate than Claire, his lot is that harder
one of the last to go, but his life has
been always brave. snd he neither
fears nor courts his death.

Lumber Possibilities In Peru.

Strange as it may seem, says Daily
Consular and Trade Reports. the Unit
ed States, with its rapidly decreasing
lumber supply, furnishes annually
thousands of feet of lumber for the
Amazon valley, itself rich i'll untold
miles of virgin forests. At present
there seems no industry in Peru where
such profits can be made ON compare
lively small investment as Il sawmill,
run by practical lumhermen along up
to date lines. The trees are to be had
for the cutting, and probably the great
est difficulty to overcome is that of Sc
curing labor. When it is remembered
that the Amazon river above Iquitos as
far as YurimagnaS. distance of 400
miles, and other rivers as well are
navlgable the year around for YES
eelS drawing fourteen feet of water. it
seems that the question of exporting
some Of the better grades of hard
woods from the Amazon valley 10 the
United States might bear looking into.

CHAPTER XXXy.

~N HE Sydney papers of the year
II 1888 contain no reference To
81 the extraordinary scenes en-
acted at the Pulteney hotel Oh
the first Saturday of the month of Oc-
tober They do not report the removal
of a magistrate of the colony to its
best and most private madhouse, some
from sense of Journalistic charity,
others for reasons which the late Mich
olas Harding's bankers might even
now disclose. The curious however,
may still look up the advertisement
which Lady Starkie read aloud from
the Herald within an hour of the
events described. 1t blew trumpet
for-"the fine fast sailing ship Floren-
tia. FOR London direct" and the call
found q grateful, echo in two young
hearts. now so light and now so heavy
that it was an act of mercy to stir
them in this way The Florentia was
described as even then loading at the
quay. 1t seemed as though they might
all sail from that beautiful and &C.
cursed land within a week. AS a mat
ter of history. however, the Florentia
did not complete her cargo until the
new year. No other homeward bound
ship was ready before her, and much
happened on shore meanwhile.

Nature Eakinn.

When baby comes to your knee at night
And beEs in his plaintive way
For a tale about wolves that growl and
bite.
Be heedful of what you say.
Don't tell him OF Little Red Riding Hood,
To grandma the sweetmeats taking.
Who met a wolf as she crossed the wood,
For that would be nature taking.
When baby cries in the dead Of night
And keeps up fearful noise,
Don't tell of tho bears outside that bito
And feed upon naughty boys.
Don't tell of the big black bear outside,
When his tummy perhaps is aching.
Nor picture his fangs nor his jaws 80
wide.
For that would be nature taking.
When baby comes to your knee at night
And asks In his plaintive way
For a story. tell him about the fight
You had with a fish one day.
And tell him about the time you had
A pike from the water taking;
You'll be a dry and prosy dad,
But you wont be nature taking.

That the efforts of the department
of agriculture to insure the cleanli-
ness of packing products have not
abated has just been proved afresh
hy the interest which officials OF
the department are taking in the Ma
tional Packers Exposition, which
will be held in Chicago in May. This
exposition will demonstrate Just how
meat and vegetables are canned and
what effect the passage of the pure
food bill has had on the packing in
dustry. The government authorities
welcome this move on the part of
the packers, large and small, to
meet public interest and curiosity
by demonstrating what their pro-
cesses are. And the packers realize
on their part that by coming out
openly In this way they will not only
make a vIally interesting exhibit,
but also furnish evidence that they
are giving the public a square
deal" The nature of the govern
ment exhibit has not yet been de-
termined. The exposition is sched-
uled to last eleven days. II will
be held later on in New York,
Pittsburg. Philadelphia and Kansas
City.
