are rather pale.
NO" she says, with faint smile.
Il have not been crying"
And be sure you don't, my dear" "
says Mrs. Lambton; nothing annoys
a man so much as to have his bride
wiping her eyes and sobbing so that
one can't speak when the clergyman
asks her. I'm sure when Lansbton
and me were married l could have
cried my heart out; but | dared not
for he would never have let me hear
the last of it. Oh, it is a trying
time!" and the good lady signs.

At the church the Rev. Peter Bell is
also waiting. and if he has not been
crying like Mesdames Maud and Geor-

cheerful, and his amiable little face
wears a resigned and patient smile
which is more affecting than a Mag

pelEahtfuI Gift.

The Roman or Italian blanket is
one of the very most acceptable of
gifts. Let US consider it, firstly, for
the brother at college or the boy We
know who is not exactly our cousin.
It's a beautiful, CHEEKY contribution
to his room, and is to be had In his
college colors. Be assured that he
needs it. either as an extra cover
when his room is cold or as a decora-
ration.
Then. too, it's an ideal present for
the college girl, and for the honey
girl it comes in more perfect shad-
ings than ever before. There is
scarcely traveller or stay.at-home
to whom this soft silky blanket would
not be acceptable.

EARLIEST RAILWAY TICKETS.
How WaybiIIs For Passenger Were
Filled Out and Used.

Filled Out and Used.
The earliest railway tickets differed
entirely from those now in use, the
Railway Magazine says. The booking
clerk was furnished with volume,
the pages of which were divided down
the center by perforated line, the
outside half of each page was again
divided into slips about four inches
long by an inch and three quarters
in width, on each of which was print
ed the name of the issuing station,
space was provided in which the
clerk had to write the destination,
passengers name, date of issue and
the time the train was to depart.
One of these slips, duly filled in,
was detached from the book and hand
ed over to each would-be passenger in
exchange for his fare.
The traveller, having thus obtained
his ticket, was passed on the guard
of the train by which he desired to
travel. This official was provided
with kind of waybill in which he en-
tered particulars of all his passengers
in much the same way that parcel
is served nowadays.
Incidentally the similarity of treat
ment did not always end there; the
third-class passengers had to travel
in an open carriage, frequently moth
ing more than goods truck attached
to train which carried both passen-
gers and goods, more or less indis-
criminately.

the dead city of Timgad seems as II
seen in a dream. You can under
stand how men should have forgotten
it and allowed it to sleep so long be-
meath the sand 2ut when you come
nearer, now that it has been almost
wholly uncovered, you see how sump-
tuous and how wonderfully alive II
must once have been.
You enter by a triumphal gate,
adorned with pedestals that supported
statues. The Carlo Nord, once Dor
dered with porticoes, leads In
straight line to the forum, passing
before a magnificent semi-circular
building that must have been a IL
brary. Here are the propylea and
stairway of the public square, where
the people of Timgad assembled. a
gallery, whose columns rested upon a
high masonry base, adorned its four
sides; there the statues of gods and
emperors were erected. No buildings
came, as at Rome, to cucumber the
open space. Timgad's forum re
manned what it had been in the third
century. It is easy to reconstruct It
in imagination. On its four sides
rose the civil basiliea and it's depen-
denotes, the tribune for the orators
before the temple of victory, the
chamber where the senate sat. the
prison, several shops, and halls tor
public meetings. All those edifiees
are perfectly recognizable.
But what silence, where once was
suCh life and bustlei This is the
place where the philosophers debated
while walking among the statues of
the gods. Grouped before these ros-
ira, the voters listened to the ha-
rangues of statesmen, while idle
Youngsters lay in the shade of these
glorious plintbs, playing ancient
games. On the pavement you see
where gaming tables have been cut
with knife, and you read the In
scription near by:
