The entrance of the Italians in this zone of war proves troops to spare from. the Austrian front and that she is now indifferent as to 'what Germany will do in the matter. The arrival of Russian forces on the Balkan front aleo shows that the Czar has an unlimited simply of rnoujiks and that he is willing••to use them on any front. Gen. Sierran two things. One is that Italy has scarcely neded these new arrivals, but their presence will hasten the end.

At one place she went In, and Mrs. Austin was left alone in a little square. The town hall was there, erected MDCCOXLIII.; there was also a drinking -fountain, with an laser* don which she could not read, The great clock overhead struck four like a knell, and startled her just as Mee was thinking that Gilbert South cer- tainly was not a hero, and yet -- And a moment later Tiny came out and said "Home" to the coachman. They did not talk much as they drove back. Wheu the lodge -keeper swung the gate open at the sound of their approach, it occurred to Mrs, Austin to wonder what Tiny had been thinking about so intently all the time. That evening, after darner, South came to her and stood for a few minutes . turning over some photo• greets which lay at her elbow. One Di' them was of a place which he knew and elle did not, and in answer to a question of hers he detcribed it. .He P1 essed his hand on the table as he spoke, and a white ecar across one of his fingers stood out more promin- ently and caught Mrs, Austin's eye. „,"Tbat cut of yours left a rnark," she said, when he had finished. "How frlebtened I was! do you remember?" Gilbert looked first at his band and then at her, with a strange, startled expression, almost as if ho left a throb of pain in his old wound. "Yes," he said. "I remember," And all at once the color came into his face as if he were a boy again. "I was cutting a stick for your brother Jack," be added, hurriedly, "and the knife slipped. Your mother tied it up for me." "Ires, we found her In her store- room, t think Jack thought you were cgeing to ele." Mrs. Austin, for a ',moment, insiessa of seeing seven or eight country gent/emen, most of them bald, and as many ladies, group- ed in the Culverdale drawIng-rooin, saw a sunshiny room, full of shelves and cupboards and boxes, where her. mother, with capable hands, was ban- daging that finger of Gilbert's, while ;reek (poor fellow! he died at school) stood looking on, scared at first, and then, when he found that mother could Vet, it all right, a little aggrieved be- e.ause after all he hadn't got hie stick. Oh, how long ago it all was, and how sadly the old home was broken up! She would have liked to take Gilbert's lett hand in hers and hold it, just for the sake of that little scar and the aear people who were dead, And how deeply the memory of that time touched him! Why did he color up so suddenly at her miestion and turn away? Was there something special about this tine lucident? All at once it struck her that hitherto it had been Gilbert, and not she, who had said, "Do you remember?" Was he so rleased that she should say it? She recollected, too, that it was while he still had his hand bandaged that he spoke to her one evening by the white roses, and she promised to wait for him until he should eome back to the old tome. Perhaps that remembrance had called up hie blush. Poor Gilbert, could he never forget his boyish in- constancy? Mrs. Leicester heaved a deep sigh of relief when the guests were gone, "Dear me!" she said, suddenly, to Mrs. Aus- tin; ."Is to -morrow really your last aay with us? What are you all going to do to -morrow?" There was a pause. "Are net we going to row down the river to some farm -house?" Mrs. Austin inquired, -looking round. "To old Green's," said Prank.

After a -fruitless inquiry and search a lady to whom she had spola en of her loss very kindly offered the seggestion that the old dame should wire to her husband at her expense, and ask him to telegraph a money order, also telling. him the circum- stances in which she was placid. She assented to this, and the telegram was sent and duly delivered to the old dame's husband. He tore the raissive open and read it.

Instead of changing cards the well- to-do natives of southern India show their esteem on New Year's Day by presenting to their friends limes cov- ered with brass leat, or in some cane with gold leaf. As the natives tave several Now Year's days of their own In addition to the special ones of the English, the Mohammedans and the Hamil and Telugu branctes of the Hindus, the gildel limes are passed around rather frequently.•The cusieem Is a purely local one. and it had its origin so far back that no one remem- bers evhen or why it was started. In addition to the New Year's festi- vals gilded limes are sometimes pre- sented to the host at the ordinary Vtamash" or social gathering. lf a na- tive is too poor to afford gilded limes, not to mention gold covered ones, he gives plain, undecorated ones. It le said that a great quantity of brass leaf is used for decorating limes for these special occastons, and the bazaar trade in this kind of gilt is very large throughout the southern part Of India.

The first iron arch constructed was made in England at Coalbrooltdale 137 one Darby. The bridge consists of one semicircular arch, 100 -foot span, each .of the ribs being cast in two. pieces only. It was opened for traffic, la 1779, and a new era in the art et bridge building was thus entered upon.

Morn in "The Governance of Empire." Lord Palmerston was forming a new minis- try and in a preliminary council was arranging its composition. He had fillecl up all the portfolios with the ex- ception of the colonial office. First one name and then another was sug- gested and thrown aside. At last he :mid to Sir Arthur Helps: "I suppose 1 must take the thing myself. Come up- stairs with me and show me where these places are on the maps." o . • eilinard's Liniment Cures Dandruff. - • e FORSAKEN ENKHUIZEN. At One Time One of ,Holland's Richest and Greatets Cities. • Of all the so-called "dead cities" of the Zuider Zee, Enithuizen has moat completely lost her former prosperity. One who wanders about her silent and empty streets can impossibly realize that this shrunken and depopulated city was once one of the wealthiest and most important in Holland. / Enkhuizen dates from the ninth cen- tury or ever earlier. In the zenith of its greatest, the seventeenth century, ' it possessed 40,000 intabitants and a fishing fleet of, 400 boats engaged in the herring trade, EnIchuizen sailors were well known for their courage and seagaring ability. But less than a hundred years later the harbor of Enghuizen was silting up, and her commerce had already de- r clined, Since then \\Mole streets have been pulled down, as the population diminished, for only a few thousand t inhabitants remain. But the. ancient a gate, the Dromedaris, that guards its s now empty harbor still stands, a mon- ument of the past greatness of Eekhui- e zen. The noble western Kerk is built of t the deep red, narrow bricks often -used' in Netherlands architecture, In Its I choir are some sixteenth century wood. carvings. It unlovely wooden belfry s is detached, but connected with the a church by a minute but attractive old - house, The small, old, red tiled hous- s es, each with a different facade, forin an irregular line that it singularly s charming The streets of tho little, s town are very quiet and empty.
