'And,' pursued the relentless Flora,

Ancl Mr. Ross was left alone with
the heavy musk roses nodding at the
open easement, and the dreamy
murmur of maple boughs and far-off
bees in his ear.
'A 12 -page letter to her sweet-
heart ! he pondered. 'She must
have had something very interesting
to write. Canada, eh ? I wish it
was Van Diemen's Land!'
Mr. Ross rose from his easy -chair,
and began to walk up and down the
floor.
'It's too confounded hot to breathe
here !' he said, impatiently taking
up his hat. 'I'll go and take a tramp
in the woods.'
Flora Edgeworth had succeeded in
planting a ranking thorn in her
cousin's breast, all ' 'unconscious
though she had been there.
The sun was low in the sky when
Kenneth returned from his abstract-
ed ramble in the woods, and the
wide, old-fashioned country house
was very still, as he ascended to-
ward his own apartment,
'Hello !'
Mr. Ross gazed. vacantly around
the room with something of the
bewildered feeling that height have
belonged to the Eastern Prince,
when he found himself transported
from pole to pole in an enchanted
dream.

THE L w RELATING TIIERET° LAID
DOWN BY TIIE SUPREME COURT.
A United. States district judge in
Arkansas instructed a jury that
everywhere except within his own
house the law requires a man to run
away and do hisbest to escape from
an assailant before killing him. The
judge further said that when assault-
ed on his own premises, but outside of
his house, a man must show his sense
of danger by efforts to escape before
his plea that be killed his assailant to
save himself from great bodily harm
can be accepted.
This instruction washanded down
from ancient times when weapons of
assault consisted of knives, bludgeons,
swords, ate,, which an active man
had some chance of escaping. But it
is not 'applicable to these days of
revolvers and winehesters, whose
bullets no man can dodge or outrun,
and the United States Supreme
Court has sent it to the black letter

poor and to the suffering. And yet,
even without money one can do
good if one has the will. If I see a
fellow -creature suffering from ague,
fevers, or disorders of the stomach ;
or from gout, rheumatics, neuralgia,
and the like, I don't need to be a
man of wealth in order to show him
the way to health. If I point out to
him the wonderful efficacy of Hollo-
way's Pills and Ointment. I have
perchance done more good by that
one thoughtful action than I could
have achieved with all the wealth of
obtained from the supreme court au
order for a new trial under a new
instruction. This new instruction
declares that wherever a lnan niay
be, if he has a right -to be there and
if he has not himself provoked till
assault, the law justifies him in
standing his ground and killing his
assailant, provided the provable cir-
cumstances are such his to satisfy a
jury that he had reasonable grounds
for believing and acted on the belief
that the killing was necessary to pro-
tect himself from great!bodily harm.

SOME INVITATIONS TEAT MUST BE
RECOGNIZED BY AUTUMN BRIDES.
For church weddings everything
pertains to formality,. and the invita-
tion as well as the ceremony is iin-
pressive in all details. The names
of the parents heading the invitation
are now more often written in full,
thus insuring a good-looking line at
the top of the note. The use of the
initials, which areindefinite, is to be
discouraged. The "r"`i and "rs" in
"Mr." and "Mrs." are Frequently en-
graved above the line,';a owing partly
to the English custom of so doing
and because, when the parent's
names are long,more space on the
line is gained. With short names
the abbreviations aret preferable on
the line with the other, small letters.
For the same reason "and" in full is
substituted for -'the abbreviation,
although the latter Is more often
used. The line, "request the honour
of your presence," almost invariably
appears on a church invitation with
"honour" spelled with `a, "u."
The names of bride sand groom are
separated by the little word "to"
although some consider! "and" quite
as proper. fi
The omission of the ,prefix • "Miss"
from the daughter's name is custo-
mary on an invitation but should
never occur when the bride is a
sister, cousin or niece 'pf the people
issuing the invitations.
l f a widow is remarrying she 'uses

names and surname of her deceased.

If the bride is an orjhan, 'with no
one to issue the invitations for her,
the heading reads, "The honour of

When. the bride has more names
