Rossmore was his most bitter enemy,
the other was that he had hoped to see
his son, his destined successor, marry
woman Of whom he, Ryder. ST., could
approve. He knew Of such a woman,
one who would make far more de-
0irable mate than Miss Rossmore. He
alluded, Of course, to Kate Roberts,
the pretty daughter Of his old friend,
the senator. The family interests
would benefit by this alliance, which
was desirable from every point Of
view.
Jefferson had listened respectfully
until his father had finished and then
grimly remarked that only one point
of view had been overlooked-his own.
He did not care for Miss Roberts; he
did not think she really cared for him.
The marriage was out Of the question.
Whereupon Ryder, ST., had fumed and
ragged, declaring that Jefferson was op-
posing his will as he always did, and
ending with the threat that If his son
married Shirley Rossmore without his
consent he would disinherit him.
Jefferson was cogitating on these in
cidents Of the last few months when
suddenly feminine voice which he
quickly recognized called out in Eng
fish:
Hello! Mr.. RYDER
He looked up and saw two ladies,
one young, the other middle aged, smfl-
ing at him from an open fiacre which
had drawn up to the curb. Jefferson
jumped from his seat, upsett1ng his
chair and startling two nervous
out, hat in hand.
"Why, Miss Rossmore, what are you
doing out driving?" he asked. "You
know you and Mrs. Blake promised
to dine with me tonight I was CON-
ing round to the hotel in a few mo-
ments."
Mrs. Blake was younger sister Of
Shirley's mother. Her husband had
died few years previously, leaving
her small income, and when she had
heard Of her nlece's contemplated trip
to Europe she had decided to come to
chaperon her. The two women were
stopping at the Grand Hotel close by,
while Jefferson had found accommoda-
lions at the Athenee.
Shirley explained. Her aunt wanted
to go to the dressmaker's, and she her.
self was most anxious to go to the
Luxembourg Gardens to hear the mu-
sic. Would he take her? Then they
could meet Mrs. Blake at the hotel at
z o'clock and all 60 to dinner. Was
he willing? -
Mrs. Blake said she would get out
here Her dressmaker was close by,
In the Rue Auber, and she would walk
back to the hotel to meet them at Z
o'clock. Jefferson assisted her to
alight and escorted her as far as the
porte cochere of the modiste's, a couple
Of doors away. When he returned to
the. carriage, Shirley had already told
the coachman. where to go. He got in,
and the f1acre started. 49,: =.
>'Now," said Shirley, tell: me what
you have been, doing: with yourself all
day." So -: <.>r -
Jefferson was busily arranging the
faded carriage rug about Shirley,
spending more time in the task per
haps than was absolutely necessary,
and she had to repeat the question:
"Doing?' he echoed, with smile.

He attended Trinity Medical College,
Toronto, for three years, and took his
final year in medicine at the Western
University, London, Ont, being the
first graduate in medicine of that
university. In 1883 he moved to
Minnesota, Manitoba, where he has
since been engaged in the practice OF
his profession. DR.. Poche was an
unsuccessful candidate for the Man
itoba legislature in 1892, but was
successful in his candidature for the
house of commons in the Conserva-
tive interest in 1896, and since then
has been reelected at each succeed
ing general election. He took a
prominent part in the debates in
the house of commons and in the
party organization, and in 1901 was
elected Conservative whip for the
West.

CARBOllC kclD ANTID0TE.
Tincture of Iodine. 1t Is Claimed, Gives
Remarkable Results.

nCTNsaTNdDiS nSSuttSs
Among cases of accidental poisoning
those caused by carbolic acid are the
most frequent. These generally arise
through installing a solution Of car
bolic acid for some medicine or, as
occurs very often. for some alcoholic
liquor.
The remedies generally employed in
dealing with this kind of poisoning
consist in washing the stomach with
alkaline water or pure glycerin, fol-
lowed by the ingestion of alkaline sui
pilates. Gil and white of eggs beaten
up. Some years ago. however, DR..
Maberly showed that tincture Of To-
dine. administered in fairly large
doses. may give much better results.
On one occasion when called in to
attend a young negro who. thinking
he was drinking whisky, had swallow
ed a quantity OF a strong solution of
carbolic acid and who consequently
was severely burned about the lips and
throat. DR.. Maberly hurriedly made
him swallow a teaspoonful of tincture
of iodine in cupful of water A few
minutes afterward the patient was
able to swallow some milk without any
difficulty. speaking became easier, and
he very soon completely recovered.
The same immediate and complete
effect was obtained on administering
tincture of iodine in doses of five drops
in water in the case of a three-year-
old boy who had just swallowed some
carbolic acid.
Similar success was met with in a
third case of carbolic acid poisoning.
the victim being child of two years
Of age. In this instance the iodine
treatment could not be begun till thir-
ty hours after the ingestion of the poi
son. The alarming symptoms soon dis.
appeared under the influence of tine
ture of iodine given every four hours
in doses of five drops in a teaspoonful
of water The little patient was cured.
The tincture Of iodine neutralizes the
carbolic or picnic acid by forming
with it an iodophenate. inse bic and
therefore harmless.-Europe Edition

MANHOOD SUFFRAGE IN. ENG
LAND. g

The announcement by Mr.. Asquith
that he will introduce a manhood
suffrage" bill at the next session of
Parliament does not mean merely
the bestowal Of the right to vote upon
all the male inhabitants of the Unit
ed Kingdom over twenty-one years
of age, says the New York Sun.
This would be comparatively unim-
portant, as the British franchise is
already very widely extended. The
significant fact is that the proposed
measure would deprive some upper
classes" of the right of plural vot-
ing.
From time immemorial the right
to vote in England has been founded
upon4property qualifications, the def
milton being stretched in later years
in include certain grades of rent
paying. The consequence is that
wherever the qualification can be
found the vote goes with it. At pres

London on the strength of his town
house but also in some one of the
shires in virtue of his country house.
Granting the ownership of houses in
other counties, he might possess an
indefinite mum Der of votes. TheO-
retically, in fact, there is nothing to
prevent wealthy commoner from
voting in every division of every
county in the three kingdoms and
in every city besides, not to speak
of a university vote, provided that
he could rush around the country
fast enough to be present at polling
place in each constituency on the
appointed voting day. The law does
not permit him to vote twice for
any one candidate for Parliament,
but this is about the only restric-
ton it imposes.
The enormous influence that this
system confers upon the wealthy Sec
ton and especially the land-owning
section of the community is obvious,
and it is the abolition thereof that
makes Mr.. Asquith's promised bill
sensational in English eyes. Even
the extreme Tories concede in terms
that some reform of the franchise
is needed, but it seems shocking to
an astonishingly large element in the
population that property as such
should no longer have any weight in
determining the complexion of Par
lament. The further change involv-
ed in manhood suffrage, the abolition
of the parliamentary representation
OF the great universities, seems in
defensible in the eyes of almost the
entire educated class.
However bitterly these things may
be felt, it is doubtful if the Con-
servatives will venture to make much

IRON IN WATER.
Il Is One of the Most Powerful Flavor

Il Is One of the Most Powerful Flavor
ing Agents Known.
What would you consider one of the
most powerful agents with which to
favor water? Would it be iron?
A half part per million Of iron in
water is detachable by taste. and more
than four or five parts make a water
unpalatable. In some mineral springs
iron is the constituent which imparts
a medicinal value to the water. but
ordinarily it is undesirable.
More than 2.5 parts per million in
water used for laundering makes a
stain on clothes. Iron must be remov-
ed from water from which ice is made
or cloudy discolored product will re-
suit. An iron content Of over two or
three parts per million in water used
in the manufacture of paper will stain
the paper.
Iron is harmful in water used for
steaming, for it is in equilibrium with
acids which inside the boiler become
ASSOCIATED. with the result that the
free acids corrode the boiler plates, but
the amount of iron carried in solution
by most waters is so small that the
damage it does to steam boilers gen
orally amounts to little.
Waters having high iron content
have in some places caused an i'm
mense amount of trouble and expense
when used as city supplies. for they
favor the growth of crenothriX to such
| a. degree that the water pipes become
clogged with the iron sheaths of the
organism. The removal Of iron from
water is sometimes easy and some
times very dificult.-Geo Biological Survey
