anarchy began. The terrorists were
never so active as now. Almost daily,
attempts at assassination, more or less
successful, are made and the manufac-
ture and use of deadly bombs go on
increasingly despite the best efforts of
the police and soldiers.
Some of~the most frightful tragedies
have resulted from the work of the ter

reception at his villa on Aptekarsky
Island when carriage drove up and
man entered the reception room and
threw bomb into the crowd. 1t so

was wounded and one of his daughters

The bomb was large one and was
filed with most powerful explosive.
Houses on the opposite side Of the
Neva were shaken and windows were
broken. Many trees in the vicinity were
blown down by the force of the explo-
sion. The bodies of those killed were
torn to fragments. Particles Of human
flesh were thrown long distances. After
the explosion an officer was passing
through the court yard and accidental

Lady EustaCe's Defeat


Lady Eustace looked ruefully at the
letter she had just read, and dire
perplexlty was written on every line
OF her expressive countenance. Her
state of mind was not calm.
Only fortnight ago she had come to
ing her family at home. She often ad-
mltted that the best part of her cure
was the peace of mind she enjoyed
away from Ireland-''that land of rows
and ravages."
Her husband, Sir John Eustace, was
welded to his property as much as to
his wife, and was apt to get irascible
when land bills and such topics were
touched on. Both her girls were off
her hands-the oldest well married,
and the younger deep in philanthropy
and industries, Her only son Arthur
was all that the fondest mother could
wish. He had passed brilliantly into
the army, from which he seemed to be
able to obtain unlimited leave. (Bel-
Iona Is a goddess who gives her votar-
les fair amount of scope for getting
into mschlef.)
Lady Eustace had been very busy
since her arrival In Yorkshire plan
ming a succession Of gay house parties
for the late summer and aumumn, to
which the most irreproachable of par
ents would bring their well-dowered
and equally well-behaved daughters

black ants. The ants were the quicker
in their movements, and every now and
then one of them would mount the cat
erpillar's back and bite it. Then the
caterpillar would stop and turn its
head and bite and kill the ant. Present
ly, becoming tired, apparently, the cat
erplllar backed up a blade Of grass,
where the ants could not approach 1t
except one at time, and as they did
so the caterpillar caught them In its
jaws and killed them. But the ants,
seeing that the enemy's position was
too strong for them, resorted to STRAIT
egy, too, and began saving through the
grass blade at the bottom. The work
was soon completed, and as the cater
pillar fell with the stalk, the ants
pounced on it and killed it, and then
marched off in triumph.

tautologisms, but we venture to suggest
that, In modern usage, the term 'young
girl' is not Pathological. When a fe-
male child enters her teens she is a

There is queer fruit in Java that
has the quality Of exploding when
placed on water. 1t is a dried, pod
like growth of the justicia plant, and
its explosive quality is natures provis-
ion for scattering Its seed. The fruit
is shaped like cigar, and is a little
less than an inch in length. 1t is full
of seeds, and when the explosion takes
place the water moistens gummy sub
stance on the outside Of the seeds,
which makes them stick where they

ture, by which the plant Is enabled to

MOTHERS SONG.
Mother sang 1t years ago

Mother sang it years ago
On the little farm,
While a tired and sleepy boy
Rested on her arm.
While a squeaky rocking chair
Creaked and groaned below,
With the rhythm of the song
Sung 50 soft and low.
"Suwanee River"-still it rings
In these ears of mine,
"Suwanee River"-unto me
Nothing was so fine,
Still | hear the creaking chair,
Still the shadows creep,
Even now the little song,
Makes me think Of sleep.
Boyhood sorrows were forgot
There on mothers breast,
"Suwanee River"-far away,
Brought me peaceful rest.
Many songs I've heard since then,
None has half the charm,
Mother sang it years ago,
Mother-on the farm.

Peter to the garden went,
And. finding there the hoe,
Thought he'd whack the weeds all down
But instead he whacked his toe.
Peter to the river went,
With line and crooked pin;
He thought he'd catch fish for fun,
But he slipped and tumbled In.
Peter got upon pig,
And thought he'd have a ride;
The pig ran to a deep mud hole
And dumped him right inside.

His mother waited, too;
And Peter gladly went to bed

Katie's Saturday.

Dear mel" sighed Katie when she
got up that Saturday morning.
what can be the, natter" said
mamma, laughing at the doleful face.
"Oh, there's thousands and millions
of things the matter!" said Katie,
GROSSLY. She was a little girl who did
not like to be laughed at.
"Now, Katie" said mamma, this
time seriously, "as soon as you are
dressed have something want you
to do for me down in the library"
Before breakfast? said Katie.
"No, you can have your breakfast
first" mamma answered, laughing
again at the cloudy little face.
Katie was very curious to know
what this was, and, as perhaps you are
too, we will skip the breakfast, and go
right into the library.
Mamma was sitting at the desk, with
a piece Of paper and pencil in front
of her.
"Now, Katie" she said, taking her lit
tie daughter on her lap, 81 want you to
write down a few of those things which
trouble you. One thousand will do"

couldn't help laughing. That's all I
can think of just this minute" she said.
"Well," said her mother, "I'll Just
keep this paper a day or two"
That afternoon the rain cleared
away, and Katie and her mamma, as
they sat at the window, saw Uncle
Jack some to take Katie to drive; and
oh, what jolly afternoon they had

This was mastery move on the

mother was equally devoted to gardens

The sun had set behind the Bog Of
Allen when the last guest had de-

than firing. Every one, except Lady
Eustace, pronounced themselves ex-

of these he had surfelt.
Arthur, deep down in his heart, felt
he was being outwltted, and confded
