yards during the past two weeks, will

low the average of the three previous
years, but what is lost in quantity is
made up by the extra good quality of
the hops. The yield is above the aver

than she could fly. She was held by
curiosity, by sentiment, by the roman

compelling. A subtle hypnotism pre-

lovely spot is at the same. time the
basest. What passions have stormed

beaten their hands against these bas-
lions OF pleasure! How few who plunge

again! The lure of gold. there is moth

Monte Carlo but a trifiing glance, toss
a coin or two on the tables. and leave
by the morrow's train, it has no real

sights of Europe.
