superiatively learned and beautiful a person as
Miss Ethel Glenn was said to be.
And with this somewhat equivocal reply, Mr..
Leslie Wingate took leave of his sister, and set
out for stroll down town.
But he had scarcely gone half square before
he met artist friend, Owen Southland, who in
vited him to his studio to see picture which he
had just finished.
Leslie complied, and they entered a passing
trolley car together. The cole passenger besides
themselves was lady, who sat in the corner
furthest from the door, and appeared to take not
the slightest notice Of their entrance.
She was strikingiy fair, with ses-bfue eyes, and
hair more fsxen than golden, which she wore in
beeoningly arranged wave.
Leslie turned to his companion, and said, in
Indifferent French;
Handsome and stylish; but bleaehed hair, to
certainty"
"It is wonderful what art can do in these
times" laughed Owen. "But how the deuce is
it done! That peculiar pale-amber tint is not
easy to paint, assure you, however it be in
regard to the more commonplace process Of
bleaching"

Mr.. Rutter with heavy heart, departed to
his work. He WAS beginning to repent his OBJ
stinacy, for all the village had heard his oftre-
peated assertion that he was getting on splen-
didly with Sally as his housekceper.
Indeed. it is to be feared that in his anxiety
to uphold the domestic qualities of Sally, Mr..
Rutter had exaggerated somewhat; and, having
boosted so often Of the culinary skin of his niece,
to have chained the hospitality of his friends at
their meals would have been proceeding diff

Sometimes, Mr.. Rutter vaguely wished that

into the dim future, he before him a vista
of unappetising meals. And, man, all the

through his appetite.
In the meantime, Sally watched her cooking

that previously her cooking had been uninten

clesrins Themselves

Amongst the many means adopted for express
ing grief upon the death of a relative, perhaps
a. interesting one any is that met with in
the nsishborhood Of the Tully River in Queens
land. Here, two, three, or four of the deceased's
friends or relatives win squat close together With
hands on each others shoulders, bewaiiing for
hours at time, the loss of the dear departed.
It il not the virtues Of the latter that in any
way extolled, however. What these mourners
are really taking ere to do is to show that they
and the deceased were always good friends.
Their object in all this Is 10 prove to the outside
public that they have bad nothing To do with
the enecmpassing Of the death.

Amy Poole, stepping out of the postofHcs,
looked down and found the srsll, sharp face of
Sally Rutter upturned to hers.
Sally had been in the village for some three
weeks now, though folks had seen but little of
her. In lefty, groTn-up manner she had re-
jected all the advances of the village children,
explaining, with air, that she had no time
for games seeing that she had the care of a
house her shoulders Occasionally, she might
be seen vigorously shaking mats ON the high
road, now and then she was to be encountered
at the butchers shop, where the butchers ef-
forts to foist unworthy meat upon her were met,
by her, with much eaustic Coekney criticism.
Amy Poole answered the question with regard
to the -four.

on an infected knee. Respiration ceased
suddenly. The pulse died down and finally
stopped. The body became cold and the
limbs rigid. Artificial respiration was re.
sorted to-, but there was no response in the
pulsation of the heart.
After six minutes of suspense, during
which the physician resorted to every pos.
sible method to revive the patient, the
doctor realized that there was only ore
chance to save the boys life.
The boys abdomen was opened and for
seven minutes the doctor massaged the
patients heart with his fingers. Finally,
when he was about to give up all hope, the
boy took a faint voluntary breath, and
for several mlnu es the heart pulsated
gently. Plying the heart with his fingers
to stimulate circulation of the blood, the
ply sician, after eighteen minutes, had the
heart puisating normally.
For a day and a half following the oper-
alton the boy remained in excellent condi-
ton, and every hope was held out for his
recovery. But the infection of the knee
had spread to tn left side and affected the
glands of the mock. Blood poisoning
set in, and despite all further efforts the
boy died.
The operation on the heart is regarded
by med cal tudents as unique in the annals
OF medicine. It also opens up n new field
in surgery, and means, physicians say. that

SPOTS ON THE SUN.
To The EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,-A very remarkable outburst of solar
energy is now going on. On Friday last,
the 31st, / noticed that a large spot had
just turned the corner. SO to speak, and come
on to the suns disc. On Saturday it had
grown considerably. as the foreshortening
began to lessen and a group of seven fair
sized spots had become visible in nearly the
same longitude, but in a different latitude.
About midway in latitude between these two
principal groups. but somewhat in advance,
a small pair Of spots had become visible.
To-day the whole party make o splendid
show, and, if they do not perish or dimin-
ish between now and Friday next, when
they will be about central on the disc, your
readers will be able to see towards the end
of the week a very striking solar spectacle.
TIL particularly about the whole matter
is that, according to precedent, the mac
imam of sun-spot display occurred more
than two years ago. and spots should now
be rare and small in size yet constantly for
some months past it has been quite other
wise.

To aeronauts the chief interest of this
maiden fight lay in the behaviour of the
two planes, which as already mentioned,
are fixed on either side Of the framework
for the purpose of raising or lowering the
course of the balloon. AS far as could be
judged the innovation worked perfectly.
For nearly ten minutes the balloon seemed
to rise and fall and turn just as its inventor
wished. Whether it will answer the helm
eqnally well in wild wind remains to be seen,
for that evening the weather conditions
were perfect.-I6id.
