 Mexican Herald: Another inn portant epoch has been marked in the milestones of the material ad- vancement at Tampico as a busy city. A contract has just been signed which provides for the i'm mediate expenditure of $S00,000 in the paving of the principal streets with asphalt.
 Mexican Herald: The announce ment yesterday in Monterey, caus. ing much pleasure in local busi- ness circles was that concession had been granted the Cia. Empa- cadora Mexicana for the purpose of establishing in that city first class packing house, which must be completed within the period of one year from the date of the conces- sion. The money expended on the plant must be at least S200,000.
 Mexican Herald: The attitude of the federal district government in the case of the ticket scalpers who have for some time monopol- ized the tickets to theaters in this city, is likely to result in the is- suance of an order prohibiting the sale of tickets to persons who may not intend them for admission to the house. No action in this res, pect has been taken as yet, but the federal district government is ser iously considering the advisability of preventing ticket scalpers from exacting enormous prices from the people.

Property Rights Reach sky.

A law framed thousands of years
ago by the ancient Romans, and the
only one bearing on the subject, may
have to be amended or wholly nulli-
fed before airships go shooting about
through space at their own sweet
will. This important fact was brought
out at a meeting of aeronauts in
London only few days ago. At
present nobody has right to fly
across occupied land. The world is
governed by the ancient Roman law,
"Usque ad Coelum." 1t means that
every landowner has right to the
air above his head as far up as he
chooses to go, and can get an injunc-
ton to restrain any one from flying
through it. So far nobody has at
tempted to put theN law into force.
1t would be most uncomfortable, not
to say disastrous, for farmer sud-
denly to emerge from his barn or
smoke house and pepper ones airship
with bullets. The fact that the aero
naut from his lofty perch could not
be expected to see the mo Trespass"
sight might not prove a mitigating
circumstance with the rural magis-
trate.-Pittsburg Eagle-Times.

Canadian moralists are shocked,
declares the Boston Post. Last year
sixteen divorces were granted in the
Dominion. Lamentation over this
sign of lax morals invites fruitful in
vestigation. Since 1867 there has
been grand total of 1876 divorces
granted in all Canada How many
Americans have negatived until
death do us part, we will not under
take to say. The total would require
six figures. Permanence in marriage,
however. is not necessarily a mark
of virtue Divorces are few in Eng
land, which is no more moral than
our own country. But in the case of
Canada, infrequency of divorce may
fairly be construed as an evidence of
sound morals. IN the main, ner pop
ulation is thin; her life is not luxu-
rious. Canada still feels the influ-
ance of pioneer breed, to which do
mesticity is more than name and
by which family life is respected. For
tunate Dominion!

eyes"
~Thank you, and goodbye
His strong, warm hand closed over
hers for an instant, then he was gone
down the outrageous walk. JAG
queline went back to Aunt Bradshaw,
who had resumed her easy chair,
with great show of fatigue.
"You heard what Mr., St. George
said about Doris?" began the girl.
Don't speak of it," cried Mrs.
Bradshaw, irritably. THAT man has
utterly exhausted me! You know
Doris is slight and fair, and she nat
urally impresses stranger as deli
cate; but such women always outlast
their plump and rudy sisters. St.
George detests our sex, and cannot
think he would trouble himself to
listen to a girl coughing in church,
or to observe whether she looked
strong or otherwise. and he answered
at random"
Jacqueline, unconvinced, stood
nervously lingering the roses in her
belt.
II am sorry we met St. George
to-day" Mrs. Bradshaw went on.
He has disturbed you with his abb
surd talk, and without doubt, you, in
turn, started in his mind train of
disagreeable thoughts-for though a
young man still, he has known some
hard experiences.
With quiet determination Jacque-
line drew step nearer to the easy
chair.
Forgive me, Aunt Bradshaw"
she said. Il cannot wait till to-mor-
row. Let us settle my future now"
Mrs. Bradshaw glanced up at the
face of her niece, and groaned in
voluntarily.
'Your mind is made up!"
''Yess / must go to Doris"
"Jac! JAG! Think OF all you sac
rifice! If you leave me now, / wash
my hands of you forever. You may
work with the poorest for daily bread
Il shall not pity you; you may
starve, and will not help!"
The girls sad eyes looked past the
speaker, out through the rose-hung
window, where, in the sunny dis
lance, the cliffs frowned, and the sea
glinted like sapphire.
"Still I cannot stay!" she an
swered Doris is calling me. We will
work or starve together. / have

Judge Brown charges that the cler-
gy while denouncing the conspicuous
evils of divorce remain silent con-
corning its utility. OF the attitude of
the general public toward divorce
there can be no question, declares the
New York World. It may be dis.
cerned in the statute books, the laws
of only one State forbidding divorce
for cause. So far from seeking to
make divorce more difficult, the ten
dency of legislation is to facilitate it.
The trend is wholly toward liberali-
cation, with the result of chaos of
conflicting statutes under which de-
crees valid in some States are Illegal
in others. In this conflict of legisla-
ton lies the prolific source of the
more notorious evils of divorce.

such as those used for iced tea, etc.
The device consists of piece of metal
bent at the top to form two arms,
with the opening between them just
wide enough to admit the handle Of a
spoon, inserted sideways, and with
the wide part just narrow enough to
keep the handle of the spoon from
slipping through. The lower part OF
the holder consists of fiat strip
which runs down inside the glass and
a spring clip on the back which goes
outside the glass and clamps the
whole firmly on. The spoon, when
not in nse, is hung on the holder and
does not fall into the bottom Of the
glass. While the device fits ON the
edge Of any receptacle, it is chiefly
employed where the receptacle is
deeper than the spoon is long. Bos-

nothing until it is concluded except

joys thoroughly, as his appetite is

by an Arkansas man. With this

little drawers at the upper corners

of the desk portion is a little door,

Fishguard, in Wales, does not leap
into fame for the first time by being
made port of call by the Cunarders,
recalls the Boston Transcript. For a
few days in February, 1877, the eyes
of both Great Britain and France
were concentrated on Fishguard, or
Fisgard, as its name was sometimes
9elled. A small force of French
oops, assumed to be the vanguard
an army of invasion, landed there
Unsupported and were soon taken
prisoners by the militia and volun-

interest in the occurrence, for the

CHAPTER III.

The passenger list OF the great
liner which bore Jacqueline Hatton
to America also bore the name of
George St. George; but the voyage
was half over before JacQueline dis
covered this. fact. She was a bad
sailor, and for the first few days ILL
ness confined her to her stateroom,
and rendered her invisible to her
companions in travel. One morning,
however, she ventured on deck, and
found a comfortable nook, where,
wrapped in rugs and shawls, she re-
clined in her steamer chair, and
gratefully expanded her lungs to the
vigorous winds of the Atlantic.
How do you do, Miss Hatton?"
said a voice, and the man whom she
had met in Cornwall approached her
from the rail, and lifted his travel
ing cap.
'Is Mrs. Bradshaw aboard?"
mo-" answered Jacqueline.
"You are not travelling alone?"
with an intonation of surprise.
Certainly am going home to
my sister"
II fear you have been ill--you
look rather done up. Would you
like to walk about a little?-I am
quite at your service"
THANK you," answered Jacque-
line, somewhat ungraciously. Il do
not care to move--I am very COM
Portable as I am"
He stalked away toward the wheel
house. She saw him often during
the remainder of the voyage, but no
further words passed between them.
They greeted each other only with a
formal bow.
1t was raw day, full of chill and
gloom, when Jacqueline, through a
veil of easterly rain, beheld once
more the gilded dome on Beacon
Hill, and the spires of her native
city. The great liner swept up to
her pier, where carriages were wait
ing, and eager people crowded for
ward to welcome friends and kim
bred.
Jacqueline caught the sudden fiut-
ter OF handkerchief, the gang-plank
fell, and directly Doris, with some
callow youth stumbling in her wake,
was on the deck-in Jacquelin's
arms, and everything else on land
and sea was for tho nonce forgotten.
Doris small and fragile, with hair
of buttercup yellow, and pathetic
violet eyes-the elder of the twain,
but seemingly the younger--held her
tall sister closely, and sobbed-"O
JAG, arm wild with JOY to have you
in my arms again, yet my heart aches
to think OF all you have lost in leav-
ing Aunt Bradshaw! Mr.. Wingate
could not come to meet you--some
client detained him; so he sent his
clerk to look after your luggage

her keys, and the young man de-

Doris. How tall you have grown
how stately! know shall always
be like wax in your hands"
Jacqueline scrHtinized the speaker
anxiously. Yes, there were little
hollows in Doris's cheeks. and her
beautiful eyes had dark rings under
them.
