A Wonian Who Kept Fier Children la Ignorance of the. World. There are tragedies in nearly all people's lives, though some may never know them by that name. Wo find them, too, in most unexpected places. Whirl reminds me that one day I stopped fox dinner at a house in the Cumberland Mountains, so deep in the fastness that I had to employ a guide to show me the way to the first road that would take me out to the country road, The family consisted of a man. and a wife, with six daughters, and a more ignorant lot of people I think I never saw. After the dinner of bacon, beans and corn bread, the man and girls went back to the fields,. and I talked awhile to the }roman before resuming my journey. She was a typical .. mountair_eeress, tall, angular and sallow, but there was a gleam of intelligence in her face quite unlike the lank-lustroness of the usual woman of the rnanntaiiis. "Don't you got very lonely away off here to yourself ?" I asked her as site busied about the table. • "I rockon 1 mou.ght ef I had time," she replied, "lett I don't give myself no time to think about things like that. "Anti what 'about your ashes ? Don't they wantto geta-among people ? ?" " Not ez I ever heard 'em say." "Do they go to school in winter ?" Nee: " Have they never been ?" "Not yet," this half apologetically. " Do they have anything to read?" " They can't read." " Can't read?" I repeated in surprise, for even though the older mountaineers cannot read or ivrite as a rule the younger ones, under a more modern civilization, can. "No, they can't," she said, as if ir- ritated by my tone. "Are you so far from a schoolhouse that you can't send them. ?" was my next venture. " It's two -miles, and they could go, but 1 won't lot'em." This was a new phase, and the matter became more interesting. " Why not ?" I asked, with a persist- ence that was risky. She stopped her work and turned to, face me. " Them gals," she said, "don't know nothin' but those hem mountains and that river clown thee ; they don't know what is going on in the world outside; they never seen no steam cars, ner boats, ner telegrafts, ner telephones, ner fine houses, ner beautiful clo's, ner gentle- men, ner ladies ; they don't hardly know thar's such, but I clo, fer I've saw people ez hoz seen 'em, and they've told me ; mane -'s the night I've none to becl and cried myself to sleep in the loft that wuz my bedroom, thinkin' about what blear wuz in the world that I couldn't oven hope to get a look at ; I got so that I could read, and then I read about 'em all. and that made it wuss; thar wuz nothin' but mountain, and loneliness and silence fer me, and I couldn't help myself nowhow. Then I married. Ain, and we come here ; Jiin can't read ner write, and the pore feller is satisfied, fer he don't know no more than the gals does, and they're coin - any for each other. The gals might sit 'ke I wuz ef they larnt reacl.in' and writ- e, and how could they ever git away um this place and go among Bich differ - t things ? They couldn't, dust the =unto z I couldn't, an' if I kin keep 'em from knowiu' whut's away off whir the m.olia- tains ain't, nor the lonesomeness, ner the silence, I'm a Fein' for do it, and let 'ene live and die right hare whar they air a heap bettor satisfied than thee mother has ever been, though they never heercl her say nothin' about it, one way ner Vogler, ner they never will." The hard lines of determination had come into her face when she began speak- ing, and I could sec they were pressing back the tears of disappointment as she talked to hie ; and when. she turned to her work again she brushed her"ayes hastily, while 1 sat there thinking of the silent heroism and uncomplaining sacrifice of this woman, longing in the solitude of the mountains for the breath and beauty of the world beyond them, yet never voic- ing her wish ; walking straight through the darkness of ignorance, knowing of the light above it ; standing fast with her family about her, as the millions rushed on toward the higher attainments of life; crushing her soul down into its narrow confines and keeping it there because she realized that for her and for hors this was the earth and the fullness thereof. A Napoleon of Finance. A. look of ineffable sadness, of infinite grief came into her azure eyes. "Har- old," she said, "you know not what you ask. There is a secret in my life, which, if you know, yen would spurn me from thee like a deadly thing." "Tell mo the secret, darling," said he, "and I swear by my honor I will love thee all the more." "Harold, my own, I will be frank and tell then.I—I—I own a six weeks' bill for my, suite of rooms in this hotel." T1s looped into her lustrous eyes with an expression of increased endearment. "Sybil, my darling," said he, "so clo I. We owe the sordid landlord two large bills. Lot lie wed and make the two bilis ono." "Oh, my heart's love!" she cried, "oh, my hero, my financier, you're a trump," and she threw herself into his arms. Tbe Discovery of Coffee. The following story (If the discovery of coffee is quite interesting, but it seems so much ,Tike a fable that one is apt to doubt the truthfaln ess o f the account. It, ho w- ever is like most fables, very interesting reading : " Towards the middle of the fifteenth ,century a poor Arab was travelling through Abyssiaia, and finding himself very weak and weary from fatigue, he stopped near a grove. Then, being in want of fuel to cook his rice he eut down a true with dead berries. The meal being cooked and eaten, the traveller discover- ed that the half -burned berries were very fragrant. He collected a number of those, and, on crushing them with a stone, he found their aroma increased to a groat extent. `While wondering at this he ae- cident:ally let fall the substanee in a can which contained a small supply of water. Lo, what a miraela I Tho almost putrid liquid was instantly purified. Ho brought it to his lips ; it was agreeable, and in a few moments after the traveller had so far roeovered his strength and energy as to he able to resume hisjourney. The lucky Arab gathered as many of the berries as he could carry, and, having ar- rived at .Aiden, in Arabia, ho informed the mufti of his discovery,. The worthy divine was inveterate toopium sxo kor who had been suffering forears from the infiuonoo of the poisonous drug He tried ami infusion .of the berries, anti. was so de- lighted with the recovery of his own; vigor that in gratitude to the tree called it oa!nah, which in Arabic means force." A Novel Way to Collect a mu. Quito a novel suggestion in the way of bill -collecting was made the other day through the mistake of a man mailing two letters in this city. He had had con- siderable difficulty in persuading a young woman that his goods had not been sold to her for the mere pleasure of sell- ing, and finally she had dismissed ln'is messenger with the statement that she did not want to hear from him !again. Nothing was left for the merchant to do but to resort to her Majesty's made. TIe accordingly sat down and wrote to the young woman a letter which was characterised rather for terseness and vigor than by any terms of affection.. Fortunately or unfortunately for him, he had a social acquaintance with another young lady in- the same house, and while he h.ad his pen he thought hewould -write to her. too, a personal letter. When he came to direct Itis envelopes, though, ho sent the dunning letter to his personal friend and his personal letter to his debt- or. It is needleee to say that the mistake was corrected within a few moments alter the receipt of the letters, but the debtor's ehargin at the revelation of her position to another was so great that she paid her brit _mmechatel . , 3' A Sneezing Corpse. 'When Macready was a young man, classical drama, in blank verso held the stage. One of these was "2Emilius; or. the Fall of Rome." .2Emilius was played by an actor named Pope, and the exigencies of the play re- quired him to be brought on, the stage on a bier supposedly dead, and Plavius, anted by Macready, spoke an oration over the body. Popo was an inveterate snuff-taker,and just before going on one night he bor- rowed a pinch from one of the stage at- tendants. He was accustomed to only a mild invigorant, but the burrowed to- bacco was the finest Welch snuff. Pope was duly brought on the stage by the usual army of "supers" and Macready began: Thou last of the Romans, thy bleed- ing country calls thee in vain. Time and fortune may do their worst. Since thou—" Here, to NIacready's astonishment, Pope's face began to work, and then came a sneeze from the clsad Roman that shook the flie. Macready started as if shot, and the audience began to titter, but he went on: "Since thou hast left us we are encom- passed by enemies who—" Here the corpse began to show anima- tion, and then came a succession of sneezes. Boiling over with rage, and in a voice heard all over the house, Ma- creacly muttered: "Drat your blood, sir, why don't you do your sneezing off the stage?" The audience shouted and the scene ended by the corpse stalking off to find and kill the man who gave him the snuff. A Decision After Solomon. A curious incident took place the other clay in a Brooklyn police court. A. lame inch had been arrested. on the complaint of his wife for cruelly beating her. The judge was about to send the man to the poniteutiary, for when a woman swears against a man the man gets but small credit. Just then the little ]1 year-old child, which the mother was leading out of court and which seemed to be hanging back, attracted the judge's attention. He ordered the child to be placed between the two parents, a considerable distance from each. and then directed each parent to call it. The mother called to it first, bub the child did not move. Then the father called and the child ran to his arms wit,h every manifestation of affec- tion. This settled the case. The judge told the prisoner that the child had saved him from the penitentiary, as he was sat- isfied he must have a kind heart or the child would not be so fond of him. This was a practical way of settling matters, similar to that which history and tradi- tion ascribes to King Solomon. Their Unknown Father. A. reporter's life is not all sunshine, as many suppose. Shadows often cast their ggloom upon his way. An instancy can be cited of a poor reporter whose duties called him from home six days and part of as many nights each week, eking out a livelihood for his pretty wife and two little children. He saw his wife every night, but his little ones were always tucked away between the sheets when he landed at his uptown residence, and while asleep he would kiss them. A fete hours' sleep and the hard -worked man was away again, and when he kissed his wife good- bye the little ones were at school. Stm- day was the only day when the news - gatherer could take his ehildren on his knee and tell them fairy tales and funny stories. One day a neighbor brought his two little ones downtown to do a little window shopping, and. the father of the pair hap- psu alt 10 stumble across them. Stopping, he kissed them and gave them ton cents each, and they were more than delighted. Unlike the majority of children, they did not dive into a wander foundry to invent their wealth, but held on to it bo show their mother. When they arrived at home both were anxiousto show their little fortune. "Why, who gaveyou that money?" inquired their mother. "I don't know his name, mamma," said the boy, "bub it wars that man who comes here every Sunday to tell us about Mother Hubbard and her good fairies.' Jeclgo W ixour'S Proverbs.

The English, Irish, Scotch and Welsh tenant farmers who visited Canada in the early part of 1898 have oath written ant account of their journey, giving in detail soma sketches of what they saw and the impressions thoygatiiored. Thesoslcetches and writings were .considered of melt value that the Canadian high Commis- sioner had them arranged and published under the authority of the Department of the Interior of the Government of Canada. They wore printed in pamphlet form in London, England, and are now being dis tributecl from the Canadian offices and etrculeted through the counties of Great Britain. There were thirteen tenant farmers in the delegation, and all speak very highly anal truthfully of the country through which they travelled. Two other farmers, Messrs. Jahn Cook, of Shrop- shire; and C. E, Wright, of Lincolnshire, who visited Canada under their own aus- pices, have also contributed reports of their impressions. Mr. Joseph Smith, of 2 Mowbray ter- race, Sowerby, Thirsk, Yorkshire, cle- seribes " Toronto a fine city of 200,000 inhabitants, and, well laid out streets, large churches and publie buildings. We stayed lxex•e two or three clays and visited the neighborhood." He describes his visit to the fan•in of Mr. Wm. Davies and also to Hon. john Dlyclen's stock farm near Brooklin, Ontario. "He has the best bull we sari' in Canada," said Mr. Smith. Ho concludes: .. Of all place.S Ontario is the one to go to for men who have capital and who want the COMFORTS OP MORE CIVILIZED x11' 79 and society, and nearness to the markets. There are large towns every few utiles, and plenty of home coml'ortn. A great deal of land is owned by loan companies and mortgagees, who sell at redaoed prices. As it was in England a few years ago when wheat was selling well, so in Ontario. A farmer would borrow money at high interest in order to purchase or take an adjoining estate, and. give bis own farm. or his stock as security for it thinking to get rich thereby. However, things changed ; a reverse took place, he was unable to meet his liabilities, and so the land in many install cos got into hands of money -lenders, and now they have them to sell." HI4 141SSED THE CATTLE. J. T. Franklin, of Handley, Northamp- tonshire, regrets that they Were too soon at the Toronto exhibition to see the cattle exhibit, "It is held annually in good permanent buildings. The exhibit of ranges and cooking stoves was good, as was that of carriages. We were amused and delighted with some trotting races; it is antonishing the pace the horses tra- vel. We were. shown around the places of interest by Alderman Hallam." Mr. Franklin advises strongly against the plan of placing young men with farm- ers who demand a premium, and also ad- vises artisans, unless they are superior ones, to keep away from Canada. 0. E. Wright concludes his report : " I am well satisfied with the Edmonton dis- trict, and have left instructions for price, etc., of a section of land to be forwarded to me. If it is satisfactory, and can sell my farm here, I shall make Canada my :future home." AHEAD OF T1110 OLD COUCrTR'Y. Itt:r. T. Pitt, of Devonshire. also speaks very highly of his visit to Toronto fair. " We were much pleased with the show of fruit and vegetables of all kinds. The orchids, ferns, foliage and other plants were better than are seen in many of our Old. Country greenhouses." The agricul- tural implements, he thought, were Light- er, mare durable and cheaper than in England. He, with others, describes a visit to Postmaster T. 0. Patteson's large farm, Eastwood, near Woodstock. Mr. A. J. Davies, of Worcestershire, thinks Toronto " well deserves its appel- lation of the ' Queen City.' Its streets are well paved and lighted by electricity. It has sotne fine churches and public builclj.ngs, and as one es alks clown its bus- iness streets and sees the familiar English names—unlike Montreal and Quebec—one could quite fancy FIE WE12E IN SOME ENGLISH TOWN. At the time of our arrival the annual Ex- hibition or ` Fall Fair,' as it is called, was being held. These autumn shows or fairs are a curious mixture of an exhibi- tion of farm produce, manufactures and a pleastre lair, including what we would term in England a. `fete: Nearly every township throughout the Dominion holds one annually." TWO PARliTRS FROM SCOTLAND. llir. John Steven, of Ayrshire, like a canny Scot, has a report that bristles with figures and finances. Everywhere he went he got down to the dollars -and - cents basis of calculation. He met many Scotchmon, both in farming and mercan- tile pursuits, who seemed " to carry the smelt of prosperity wherever they go in the Dominion." Mr. Alex. Fraser, of Inverness, who said their "mission was principally con- nected with the Northwest," like his countryman, Mr. Stevens, confines his descriptions to this mart of Canada, and gives to Ontario, in his report, only a passing mention. ONTARIO MEN PLDASE:D 111150. Mr. John Roberts, the delegate from North Wales, pays a tribute t0 the Onta- rio farmer. He says : " A large number of farmers and farmers' sons from Onta- rio have gone to the • GPest. If we fount a Canadian in the Northwest he iii.vaii- ably tamed out to 'be an Ontario man. Undoubtedly he is the best man to go there; he knows how to build his own house, and hecan fix his own laud, In fact, an Ontario farmer is art all round man—well-educated:, hard-working, in- dustrious and plucky." He regretted that they wore given to understand that their mission was more in Manitoba and the Northwest Territories. Again he says t " The Canadian. farmer is inde- pendent of everyone. This consciousness of independence makes the farmers a bet- ter, nobler end more honorable class of men. Over there the farmer is not, ex- peeted to be the catspaw of his landlord, and obliged to think, speak and vote as that master thinks fit. Canadians now enjoy most of the reforms which have yet to ba granted in Great Britain. The law of primogeniture does nob exist." This destruction of classes, so generad in this country, does nob exist there. IIE SAW TIM ONLY NICHOLAS. idr. Tetome J. Gaily, from'Tippex'ary, Ireland,6° was glad indeed to meet in Re- gina a Tipperary man—one of the most brilliant and talented of my eountrymon. I mean N. Flood Davits, M.P. Mr. Davin has done a good deal for the farmers, and they appear to appreciate his services, fax there is no more popular member of the Dominion Perim -meat." Mr. Guiry was particularly struck with the fine ]and be- tween Toronto and Hamilton, which he thong -lib was the best land in Ontario. l ` The soil was deep and brown, the houses fine and each, farm had a large orchard on it. The general a•ppeeranoe of the country around was that of an English county in the midlands ; batt ono was particularly struck with the hurdle fences and the absence of the thorn hedges of England and Ireland." He describes To- xonta as a beautiful city and the "Coun- ty of 'York. so called on account of the number of Yorkshireman who have made it their home;" • T111.y QUESTION 01' RELIGION. " A' very important and delicate sub- ject—religion," is' dealt with by Mr. Guiry. In no part of the world is re- ligion in a mare satisfactory condition than in Canada. '"Everyone can go his own way, and few care what religion any one else professes. There is no State church, but in Quebec the people are Roe man Catholic, and they make thei r own. laws, and the payment of tithes is still part of the law in the Province, in rasp ect of Roman Catholics. There are also many Roman Catholics in the other Pro- vinces, but there they enjoy no special advantages—except separate schools in some ,places. Everyone can pay or not, just es he likes, to thesupporb of his faith, Somehow or another it has got into the minds of the Irish Catholics who do not know Canada that it is an Orange Protest- ant country ; how this had got abroad I do not know, but >ut it isn a absurd idean ad one that is used largely by Canada's ene- mies. One noted example of the tolera- tion of the Canadian people will be found in the fact that, out of fourteen members of the Canadian Cabinet, the Premier and three more are Catholics. Compare this with the United States, where there has never been a Catholic President; or, 'un- derstand, un-derstand, even a member of the Cabinet, professing that faith." ADVISES MEN Sy1TI[ CAPITAL. Mr. Guiry comments on the apparent social equality of the people, and advises the young and middle-aged man who can- not look forward to the future with any degree of confidence, who wishes to wort: and keep steady, who has energy and wishes to provide for his family, who has large or small capital, to " try the west." The want of capital, in his opinion, is keeping Canada back more than anything, and he especially recommends any young man with from $2,000 to $8.000 to embark for Canada and try ranching and stock- raising tockraising in the Northwest. HURRIED TIHROUGII ONTARIO. Owing to the hurried way in which the delegates journeyed through Ontario some of them have little to say, beyond a slight mention of hearsay evidence, re- garding the banner province of the Do- minion. The project was evidently got- ten up in the interests of the Northwest and the Canadian Pacific Railway. A New York alae Wasn't To Be Fooled by Boston Tactics. When the man stood up before the clerk at the Parker House he wasn't as drunk as he had been earlier in the day. " I say, mister," he asked, " what town's this ?" , What town is what ?" "No, not what; what town is this?" "Boston." "Boston, Mass.?" " The same." " That's funny." '1"Why ?" "How did I get here ?" " I don't know. How did you get there if you don't know what town you were coming to ?" " That's what I want to know. I got on a train somewhere and kept going till it stopped. Then I got off—andwhere alp 2 ?" " How long have you been here ?" " Guess about four hours, or maybe all day. I ain't sure. What town you say it was ?" " Boston. You didn't think it was Naw York, did you?" " Course I didn't think it was New York. I've had fourteen drinks since I've been here, eat one dinner at a restaurant, took a drive in a cab, had my shoes shined and have still got some money left in my clothes. Of coxuse I know it ain't New York." And then, after a few min- utes' skirmishing, he took a room and went upstairs to sleep it off. Not at all Sensitive.
