Elsie was tossing up and down there just
as hopelessly now, no doubt. But Elsie had
no pangs of conscience added to torment
her. She had only a broken heart to reckon
with.
He Iet himself float idly where wind. and
waves might happen to bear him. There
was no help for it : he could swim no farther.
It was all over, all over now. Elide was
lost, and for all the rest he cared that mo-
ment leas than nothing. Winifred 1 He
scorned and hated. her very name.
He might drown at his ease, for anything
he would ever do himself to prevent
it. The waves broke over him again and
again. He let them burst across his face or
limbs, and floated on, without endeavoring
to swim or guide himself at all. Would he
never sink? Was he to float and float and
float like this to all eternity ?
Boar—roar—roar on the bar, each roar
growing fainter and fainter in his ears.
Clearly receding, receding still. The cur-
rent was carrying him along in a back eddy,
that set strongly south-westward towards
the dike of the salt marshes.
He let himself drift wherever it might
take him. It took him back, back, back,
steadily, till he saw the white crest of the
breakers on the ridge extend like a long
gray line in the dim distance upon the
sea beyond him. He was well into
safer water by this time : the estuary was
only very rough here. He might swim if
he chose. But he did not choose. He cared
nothing for life, since Elsie was gone.
In a sudden revulsion of wild despair, . a
frantic burnt of hopeless yearning, he knew,
for the &rat time in his whole lite, now it
was too late, how truly and deeply and in-
tensely he had loved her. As truly and
deeply as he was capable of loving any-

after all, was nothing much to boast of

a violout effort, leo roueed himself to con-

hands and feet, till ho reached the shore,
and atood at loot, dripping with brine

the look of the stars, it was somewhere

certain he couldn't have been floating for
much more than an hour or thereabouts.

4,000,000 communicants of the Church in
the world, equivalent to 20,000,000 wilier..
cuts, Ile sant that education was much
looked after as the principles they held did
not commend themselves to persona without
education. Respecting nriaalous, 60,000

over 500 ministers had been sent to preach
the gospel to the heathen.
It appears that from 1845 to 1817,
when bleeding prevailed in the treatment
of pneumonia, according to Tho Medical
Record, but one person in sixteen treated
for that disease in the Pennsylvania Hospital
died ; while, on the contrary, from 1884
to 1880, after thio treatment had been
abandoned, the proportion of deaths was
1 in 3,2. Facts aro stubborn things, and
the queation arises whether, in Avery case,
we have always gained by ignoring the
simple and old-fashioned methods of heal-
ing.
Mr. E.I. Seward says; The total coat
production in the world is put at 420,000,00
tone, of which Great Britain produces 160,
080,000, the United. States 120,000,000, and'.
Germany 75,000 000 tons. The production
in the United States is divided between
thirty-one States and territories, the largest,
of oaurae, being Pennsylvania, which last
year gave us 34,000,000 anthracite and 30,-
000,000 of bituminous. In the money value
the output in the United States is safely
$500,000,000 in the markets where used.
This is greater than the value of gold, silver,
cotton, and petroleum produced in our come -
tree.
At Canton, China, some 250,000 people
live continuously upon boats, and many
never step foot on shore from one year's
end to another. The young children have
a habit of oontinualy falling overboard
and thus cause a great deal of trouble in
effecting a rescue, while in many instances
this is impossible and a child is drowned.
China is an over -populated country and the
Chinese have profited by this drowning
proclivity in reducing the surplus population.
They attach floats to the male children so
that they can be fished out when they
tumble into the river. The females are
without such protection and are usually
left to drown.
'.Che following statistics are of French
origin, and pointed. Under Napoleon III
the Crimean war cost France 200,000 men
and 2 milliards of money; England 23,000
men and 5 milliards of money; Piedmont,
2,000 men and 175,000,000 francs of money;
Russia, 6,000,000 men ,and 4 milliards of
money ; Turkey, 35,000 men and 400,600,000.
In 1858 the Italian war cost France 50,000
men and I millard of money; Italy, 60,000
men ,and 150,000,000. In the Mexican war
France spent 500,000,000 money and 70;000
men. The Syrian expedition cost 15,000
men and 125,000,000 money. In the Franco-
German war France lost 225,000 men and
0,228,000,000 of money. And now Prance

compelled to go with Russia ere long in a
struggle more terrible than all: before it,
The estimate is that France and Russia,
together can put in the field 0,500,000 of
men, while Germany, Austria and Italy
can meet them with as many more. Think
of 20,000 000 men eager for each others'
lives on European battle plains—and what
has been the gain of it all.

Address, 0. 8, PAGE, Hyde Park, Vermont, U.S.
The Shoe and Leather Reporter, N. Y„ and the
Shoe and Leather Review, Ohioan, the leading trade
papers of the U, S. in the Hide line, have sent their
representatives to investigate air. Page's businees,and •
after a thorough examination and comparison, the
Reporter gives him this endorsement:
,We believe that in extent of light -weight raw ma-
teriel collected and carried, lafr•. Page holds the lead
of any competitor and thathis present stock is the
largest held by any house in this country."
And the Review says :
Atter a most thorough investigation of Mr. Page's
business, as compared with others in same line
have become fu ly satisfied that in his specialty, light
weight stook, he is unquestionably the largest dealer
in this country, while in superiority of 'quality, he is
confeesedly at the head:
QUERY : If 31r. Page's business is the largest in Re
line in the United States, is` it not' the best possible
proof of hie ability to pay biehest prices? If he did
not do so, would he naturally get more Skins than
any of his competitors in the same lino?
