Falcorde Chase is apt to be considered
somewhat dreary and dull by those mem,
leers of the fashionable world who only exist
to kill time and see no beauty in Nature's
handiwork.
But to Lauraine the whole place is,beau,
tiful beyond weals. The great dark forest
lands that shelter the deer in their coverts,
the old bridle -paths, where the boughs
meet overhead, the solemn, stately old man-
sion itself, shut in by elm woods and
mighty oaks of centenarian growth, the
stillness and solitudeand repose that breathe
everywhere these have for her ex exeeeding
charm, ao ever -varied delight. For days
and days she does nothing but wander about,
sometimes alone, soinetitnes with Lady Et.
wynde.
The weather is mild and the sky grey and.
soft. The keen, salt air of the sea braces
and refreshes her tired frame, and languid
spirits, Her friend is enchanted with the
place, and throws eesbhetieism to the winds,
and gime eboot in a neat tailor-made gown
of homespun, and ebolielies the nimbus
round her heir head, and evinces an energy
and alertness that would astonish her ad-
mirers of the " lilieseaudaanguor" clues.
Ono closing evening they stead on the
summit of the great cliffs, at whose boas A
wild sea is breaking tempestuously. A wild-
er sky is above their headamne tliet, foretells
a storm cloee at hand.
Lau/sine turns her thee Seawar,d, and the
fierce wind and dashing spray seem to give
it a new and wonderful beauty,
"It is glorious !" she murmurs, as he
stands there in a sort of rapture, "Itseems
as if one eou)d move, breathe, be free in a
place like this,"
"Free 1" says Lady Etwynde. "Is any-
one that? Aa long as life shackles or souls,
eo long does bondage curb our washes.
never met a single person, men or woman,
who eould do exaotly as they wished,"
WEllIA you have not much to complain
of," laughs Lauraine, "You live as You
like, do what you like, go where you like,
and have no domestic responsibilities."
"Trus," says her friend, with sudden
gravity, yet for all that I have felt a pang
of envy sometimes when I have seen a poor
I beggar -woman in the streets press her cbild
to her breast, and look with real love at its
poor, pale, wizened face."
" What a confeeeion for a dtseiple of
Culture—one who has educated her eyes
and taste to such perfeetion that, a criante
bit of turniture, a false tone of colour, a
mistaken arrangement of draperies, will
torture her as a discordant mote tortures the
ear of a musician t So you haven't outlived
feminine weaknese yet, my dear V'
"1 suppose Nature always exacts her
rights from us st some period or 'mother,"
Palmeri' Lady Etwyado. "1 have become
a,ccustomed to hear 1 am passionless
and cold, end find it less trouble to
live up to the character than to deny
it. People aro always so sure they
know us better than wo know ow -selves,
Being a single woman, it is rather a mama
to have such a reputation, aed as I dislike
men, and petroniee fools, I am pretty safe."
"But you are not cold-hearted at all,"
says Lauraine, turning her face, with its
beautiful sea kissed bloom, to that lovely
languid one of her lesthetie friend. "Don't
you really care to marry ?"
" What should I gain?" asks Laxly Et-
wyude, tranquilly. "Le mieux est Cennemi
du Men, you know. I am very well off I
can do pretty much —not exactly—as I
please. I have no one to control me, or
consult. I can follow my own whims and
vagaries. Am I not well enough ?"
And yet you envied the beggar -woman?"
"That was in one of those moments when
Nature was whispering at my heart. Noth-
ing touches me like a child's sorrow, or a
child's love. I have often longed to adopt
one, but—well, I suppoae the feeling would
not, he there?"
"You might marry for—love," suggests
Lauraine, timidly.
"My dear," murmurs her friend, with
delicate scorn and faint reproach, "at
thirty years of age?"
"That is not, old for a beautiful woman,"
says Laraine, with unconsious but most
sincere flattery. "And it is our natures
that make us old, 1 think, more than actual
years."
Lady Etwynde smiles her Resistive, 11100n -
lit smile.
"I shall never love," she says, calmly.
"Men are so uninteresting; and, besides,
people always seem so unhappy when they
are married,"
Lauraine colours hotly, and her eyes turn
seaward again.

people we know and meee—in Society.
But to their' marriage ha e been chiefly a
Metter of arrangeMent, or convenience.
Thera is not often any heart in
"And if there were it would not last,"
anewers Lady Etwynde. "Sentiment is
lovely in theory; you cannot reduce it to
practice, though."
"1 think it niight be possible," says Laur-
aine, dreamily. "Even fashion and the
world cannot kill feeling. If people would
only be more true to themselves—less areifi-
cial, less exaggerated—they would be much
happier."
" Doubtless ; but far less comfortable!
My dear Lauraine, Society suits its age and
always has suited it. It is no use wishing
things could be altered."
"I suppose not," sighs Lauraine.
"You are rather romantic " continues
Lady Etwynde, as they turn back from the
great bold headland and move towards the
narrow path that leads into the woods of
Falcon's Chase. "18 in an unfortunate
quality for either man or woman. They
will never see persons or things as they
really are. They will love, and invest the
person loved with every atigibute they
would wish them to possese, eland which,
alas 1 they never do. They throw a
• halo of imagination round every head that
is dear to them. Their existence is a series
of shocks and disappointments. They see
• their fairy weapons broken time after time
in the world's rough warfare. 'They stand
and look at life with wistful, feverish eyes,
• praying, Be as I. fancy you,' and it never
will. They break their hearts over the
sufferings and Sorrows they see, and intensify
their own by too keen a sympathy. They
are never understood, especially by those
they love best. They are like the poets
who sing to deaf ears and go throe& life
misunderstood, even if not scorned, and not
ridiculed."
'f What make e you think lam romantic?"
asks Lauraine,
"A thousand things. Your love of nat.
ure and solitude, your areistic fancies your
• emotional capacity, your extreme sensitive -
nese.. I have a weakness for studying ehar.
aeter, When I first saw you 1 said to
myself . 0 She ie not happy.' She is full
'•of idealities.' ' She cares nothing for the
world," She will not be content only to—
live.' Am right, ownot
"Can one ever know oneself quite ?"
murmurs Lamaism, coloariug softly. " Do
you madly think I am not--Imppy."
"Think ! It !scarcely needs couselera,-
tion. But I am net geing to encourage you
in morbid seutitneut. I do not think you
are a weak woman, I bope not. Bat I
fancy you will need all your strength at
some time in your life."
"You talk like a ethyl. Do you possess
the gift of second sight in sedition to your
other accomplishments ?" laugbs Lauraine.
"1 don't thiek so. It only needs a litele
thought, a mental trick of patting two and
two together, to reedmost characters. Of
course there is a great deal of mediocrity
to be met with, and yet 16 13 ;surprising
how widely even mediocrities differ when
you give yourself the trouble of annalysing
them. Rumen attire is like a musical in-
strument—there are but few notes, seven
in all—but look at what volumes of melody
have been written on those notes."
" And, to puraue your metaphor, what a
differenoe in the sound of the keys to eaell
individual touch ; eoine give book but a dull
thud ; others a rich, full, resonant sound,
fall of life and. melody."
"True, and thereiu Bee the danger
for many nattu es. Tim master -hand that
produces the highest order of melody
is perhaps too often that of some passing,
stranger who goes carelessly by—and who
BO to speak, finds the instrument open—
rues his hands lightly over the keys,
awakens brilliance, life, beauty, where
°there have prodemed but dull, prosale
sounds, and then gams away and—forgets."
"Ab, if we were ouly wood and leather,
and had wire for our strings, flat hearts and
souls,we should not miss the player, or sigh
for the vanished music," says Lauraine
"Unfortuuately, forgetfulness is not always
Possible for us, desire It as we may.
"Rave you overdesired it 1" asks Lady
Etwynde,quickly, "Pardon mei she adds
;us she melees the sudden whiteness of the
beautifel face. "1 should not have- asked.
But you will not misjudge me,idle curiosity
had nothing to do with the question."
"1 know that," says Lauraine, quickly.
" Yes, if thi
ere s one thing I desire on
earth it is the possibility of forgetfulness."
"The one thing that never coroee for try
in—or seeking—or praying," rnurrnure
Lady Etwynde, dreamily. "Alas, those
melodies ! A sail day indeed it is for the
woman who eonfessea—
" The face of the world is changed, I think
Since first I heard the footsteps of thy soul.
It is a, beautiful idea, is it not? That is one
advantage of poetry—it clothes a thought
in grace so exquisite that we feel as if con-
versing with being from another world, I
never can understand people saying they
don't like, or men% comprehend it. Sense,
memory., love, pleasure, joy, pain, all that,
is senattive, emotional, purest, best, is
Actedupon and intensified by poetry.
A word, a line, will thrill us to
the very core and center of our beings
—will make joy more sweet—pain less bit-
.er—love more exquisite and life less hard,
even beneath its burden of regrets."
"You love poetry. SO =eh questions
Lauraine with growing interest.
"More than anything. But by poetry
I don't mean merely beentiful verses. I
include all grand and noble thoughts that
imagination has coloured, and that are
read as prose. A really poetic nature is
one that sees beauty in the simpleet of
created things as well as in the grandest;
that is humble and yet great; that drinks
at every fountain diluted); thatsteeps itself
in the enchantmen 4 of a scene, not measuring
merely the height of a monntain from the see,
level, or dwelling on the possible discom-
fort of a storm at a particular altitude ;
that know a its mind to be full of longings
and yet can only partially satiety them ;
that would fain be glorified, filled, enriched;
and, alas ! knows only too well that the
wings oi the mind are beaten against the
prison -bars of a stern and hard existence,
from which escape is only possible in
dreams or—death!"
"Do you not think such a nature muet
be iutensely unhappy ?"
"1 said so at the beginning of our con-
versation. But still It holds the two ex-
tremes that make up life—happiness and
misery ; it gets more out of each than na-
tures more placid and commonplace and
content. 18 really lives, and the others—
stagnate !"
"You must have read a great deal, and
thought a great deal," says Lauraine look-
ing admiringly up at her friend's thought-
ful face. "Do you know I think you are
the only woman I have ever met who telks
about other things besides dress and fa.sh-
ion? I don't think I ever heard yon thy a
scandalous word of anybody. You put me
in mind •of something a friend of mine
once said, Women who are intellectual
always talk of things; women who are
shallow, of persons.' There is a great deal
M that if you come to think of it. How
wearisome it is to hear of nothing but
names' in a conversation ; and yet r know
heaps of men and women who are considered
brilliant and witty and amusing, and whose
whole conversation turns upon nothing else
but gossip respecting other men or women."
"I quite understand you. Society is
eminently arbificial, and objects to strong
e -notions, and would rather not be called
upon to feel anything. Why will people
go on writing?' said a lady to me one day.
Everything has been said that can be said.
Literature is only repetition.'

she runs forward and snatches up the little

A thrill of sweet, pure joy flies through
her heart, " Hes.ven has not left me com-

A Steam Digger.
Among those who have long maintained
that digging by steam was not only advise-
ble but possible, is sn old Sornersetthire
farmer, who has freely spent both time and
money in converting his ideas into praotice.
The digging apparatus is fixed at the back
of the machine, which consists of a porta-
ble engine of eight -horse power, mounted
on a pair of steering wheels at the front
end and broad travelling wheels at the back
end. To the rear of these wheels are four
sets of steel digging tines, six to the set,
driven from a four -throw crank shaft, so
that no two sets of tines enter the ground
at the same moment. Just beyond the mov-
able digging tinee is a bar carrying a set
of thirteen fixed tines and covering fourteen
feet, that being the working width of the
machine. As the digging tines throw up
the earth the clods are projected against
the fixed tines and are thereby broken up.
The tines are driven at an average speed of
1 34. strokesper minute, the working stem
pressure being 120 pounds per square inch.
The digging apparatus is raised and lower-
ed by means of a small independent steam
cylinder, while the depth of cut is regulat-
ed by a screw and handwheel arrangement.
The superior value of steam digging is said
to consist of the exposure of much greater
surfaces of soil to the action of. the atmos-
phere than can be effected by any other
mode of cultivatimi, and this advantage is
gained withourpressure being brought on
the soil by the procecs.
The First 3nternational Exposition.
The first great international exposition
was that held ot London, in the Crystal
Palace, in 1851. The next similar under-
taking was the "exhibition of the industry
of all nations," held at New York in 1853.
This was held in Crystal Palace, which was
afterward destroyed by fire. A similar ex-
hibition was also held in Dublin the same
year. In 1854 an exhibition was held in
Munich, which was at first very successful,
but cholera appeared and caused such a
fright that the enterprise was abandoned.
The first greatParisinterna•tional exposition
was held in 1855: The second English inter-
national exhibition was held in London 1862.
Next in order were those held a Constan-
tinople in 7S63; Be.yonne, 1864 ; Dublin,
1865 : Cologne, Oporto and Stockholm in
1865; Melbourhe, 1860; Agra, 1867. Then
came the great Paris exposition of 1867,
followed by several smaller Ones at various
places, until 1873, when a vety fine one was
held in Vienna. The next important dis-
play was the Philadelphia Centennial.
Again a number of smaller ones, then the
great Paris exposition of 1889 and now
the World's Columbian Exposition in Chioag
city, the greatest, of all.
One of the most effectual ways of pleas-
ing and of making one's self beloved hi to
be cheerful. Joy softens more hearts than
tears. • •'
A cheerful heart paints the world as it
finds it, like a ;sunny landscape ; a morbid
mind depicts it like a sterile wfidernese,
and dark ae the "shadow of death."

The foul crimes a Jack the Ripper
were again celled to mid be London the
other night by a murder that was cornea -
ted in Rotherhithe, a suburb a ;short ells -
tame to the eouth-eest al London, The
Indy of a woman belonging to the unfor-
tunate class wale found with the throat cat,
the wounds showing that the knife had
been used from left to right, as was the ease
in all the murders committed by the Ripper
in the Whitechapel diatrice of Leaden.
Persoes in the "threats at the late 'Jour at
which the murder was done state that they
heard a woman scream two or three titnes.
They real in the direction from which the
soonds came and found the woman Iyingon
the pavement, with the blood streaming
from an awful gash in her throat, She was
maconscioue when found, and died a few
minutes Afterward. The polize were
promptly on the scene, having beesi attract-
ed by the screaming, bat the murderer had
effected his escape, leaving not the slightest
clue to his identity. The degraded women

Canada you will see near the centre of its
southern border the fertile province of
Manitoba, contitheing the greater part of
Lek° Winnipeg, end embracing a. vast ex-
tent of rich prairie laud, whose abuudant

Geology has an interesting story to tell
of the former condition of 'Manitoba, and
of the origin of its productive soil. A
great lake, exceeding in extent the whole
chain of what we now call the Great Lakes,
ev acnexisted there, and to this vanished
lake, whieh no man ever saw, though the
evidences of its former existence are plen-
tiful enough, the name of .A.ge.ssiz has been
The present Lake Winnipeg is only the,
shrunken and dwindled remnant of the
great body of water whose oozy bed Ilea

4°13histit perhaps the most interesting thing
about Lake Agassiz is the faot that it was
formed, so to speak, by a tremendous dam
of leo, which shut it in on its southern
side. This was near the close of the so-
called Glacial Period, when the great sheet
of ice that had covered more than half of
North America, was beginning to dissolve
and retreat.
As the glacial ice melted away, and the
bed of the lake slowly rase with the dimin.
tailed pressure, the waters of Lake Agassiz
were gradually drained off, leaving only
the Winnipeg of to -day, the basin of the
Red River of the North, and the broad
prairies of Manitobaas tokens of its former
existence, aud evidence of its vast extent.

Robbing the Dail Rags.
A Port Huron special says 1—For several
months past the post -office authorities have
been puzzled by the disappearance of large
numbers of eastern and Canadian letters,
lost between London and Port Huron.
Government detectives have been linable
to locate the thief. About two weeks ago
Chief Inspector Stewart, of Chicago, and
Special Inspector Larrimour, of Battle
Creek, began work on the case. Disguised
as farmers, they spent much time on the
trains between London and this city. A
leIV days ago the conclusion was reached
that the loss occurred at this end of the
tunnel, and a vigilant watch was kept.
Suspicion fell on Charles Ford, foreman of a
gang of men who inspect and repair cars in
transit. In his capacity he had access to
all parts of the train at all times. On the
arrival of a train on Saturday evening Ford
metered the postal car. In a few minutes
the inspeetors followed and caught him in
the act of rifling the mail bags. He was at
once taken bath custody and no less than 289
letters found on his person. He had large
pockets in his coat, made purposely for
caerying parcels. It is said he had keys
which would unlock all the mail pouches.
No accurate estimate can be made of the
amount of money he has obtained, but it,
is thought it will reach many thousand
dollars. -Ford was taken before Uniterl
States Commissioner Harris, where he ad-
mitted his guilt. He will be held to the
September term of the grand jury. Ford
has been in the employ of tbe Grand Trunk
many years has occupied a responsible
position, and had the confidence of his
superior officers. He has a fine felaily,
and was a general favorite with all who
knew him. He is about 37 years of age.
Large quantities of all kinds of articles
have been discovered. itt Ford's office, in-
cluding jewellery, fancy goods, postage
stamps, etc. He is in jail.
A Race Without Money.
In a recent publioation of the Imperial
Geographical society of Bessie is the sur-
prising announcement that the Chewsures—
a,ace of 7,0 00 people—in the department
of Trout, government of Tiflis, know noth-
ing of the use of money as a medium of ex-
change. The unit of valuation among the
primative people is the cow. A horse is
valued at three cows and a stallion at six.
If a Chewsmagbecomee enraged and cracks
his neighboes skull he is obliged th pay sex -
teen cows. If he break a bone of his neigh-
bor's arm five cows will rehabilitate him in
the eyes of society. A wound ie the fore-
head calls for three calves. If ohe mats an-
other en the part of the face usually cover
ed by the beard the puniehment is compara-
tively severe. The "doctor" places as
many grains of wheat along the cut as pos-
sible. For each grain of weeat so used the
critninal must give up a cow. Wound 3 in
the beardlees part of the fece cell for one
third as many cows only. The man who
injeres his neighbor's hand surrenders she,
teen cows. Thirty cows even will pay for
the loss of an eye. The people are said to
be happy and contented, leao misers exiat
among them
