At all events, for yourself live a pure life, so that you may be able to look every woman in the world in the face and have the greatest satisfaction that can come to a man; that when you marry you can give to the girl of your heart what you expect that she will bring to you: amoral purity.

At the enquiry of the Parliamentary Committee into the Jameson raid Col. Rhodes gave evidence showing that Pres- ident Kruger favored Germany against Great Britain. He absolutely acquitted Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, of all knowledge of the revolutionary movement. The statement that a state of tension exists between Great Britain and Belgium regarding the indemnity claimed for the arrest of Ben Tillett, the English labor agitator, at Antwerp last year, is denied at the Foreign Office, which declares that the negotiations on the subject are pro- ceeding amicably. The Government was Monday asked by residents of Ottawa and portions of Russell and Carleton counties to spend about $35,000 in, lowering the bottom of the Rideau river near the outlet, where it is shallow, , and to let off the water from the Rideau lakes early in the spring by means of the Rideau canal, to prevent the spring floods.

Government's policy on the situation in Crete. They propose to establish an ad- ministrative autonomy in Crete, which, however, is to remain a portion of the Turkish Empire. RICHARD III. Re Never Injured the Masses and Was Not Unpopular With. Them. If Richard be tried by the only proper stanndard, that of his own time, he will be found to be not more but less cruel and bloody than either his predecessors or those who canis after him. The act which has especially blackened his memory is themysterious removal or murder of the princes. Yet Clifford, backed by Margaret of Anjou, paid kill- ed in cold blood Richard's brother, the Earl of Ruthland, a boy of 10, while Henry VII imprisoned and executed the feeble minded Earl of Warwick, the son of Clarence. In mere numbers of exe- cutions, minding, of course, on both sides' those who were taken in open re- bellion, Richard has much less to an - ewer for than Queen Margaret or Henry VII and far less than Henry VIII, who put to death anybody who happened to he distasteful to him on political, per- sonal or religious grounds. There was no public opinion in that day against putting to death any one who had played and lost in the great struggle of politics. Exeoutions were a recognized part of the business. When the game went against a statesman in those days, as Mr. Speaker Reed once said, he did not cross the aisle and take his place as the leader oi' Itis majesty's opposition; he was sent to the tower and had his head cut off. Autres temps, autres luo'urs. At every turn of the wheel in the long struggle between the Lancastrians and the Yorkists the victorious party al- ways executed every leader of the other side upon whom they could lay bands. Such were the rules of the society and such the polities in which Richard was brought up. tend he played according to those rules feud without excess, paying the final forfeit himself with undaunted courage. Nothing is farther from the troth than the notion that Richard was un popular with the masses of the people, He had acr,er injured then, and they did not care how many nobles or princes he put to death.—Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge in Scribner's. SANDBOX TREES. Tho Gigantic Touch Its Nots of the Tropics Have Explosive Fruits. Everybody is familiar with the "touch me not," the pretty jewel weed that growl: along the side of water courses. When its seed pods are ripe, at the slightest touch they will explode, blowing the seeds in your face. The giant among thein is the sandbox tree (Kura crepitans), a native of tropical America Its furrowed fruits are as large as an orange. Cosmos of Paris thus desc•ribcs this Krupp guu of the vegetable world: "Itis eftcu cultivated as an orna- mental tree, both in its native country and in other parts of the globe, notably in certain gardens in the Indies. Its fruit looks on the outside something lilac a melon; it is formed exactly like that of our native eupliorbias, of seotions, which at maturity separate violently with SO intense a report that it has been compared to the sound of a pistol, throwing its seed to a considerable die; Lance. "With the fruit a very pretty sand- box can be inacle by cutting a circular opening in the upper part, extracting the seeds and then covering the open- ing. The opposite side is perforated with little boles. A sandbox thus made is very difficult to keep, for the time al- ways comes when, aided by the drying process, the sections suddenly split, with a characteristic sound. "The violent splitting of the fruit of the sablier is explained very simply by a process analogous to that which causes. the two halves of a split stick to curl apart and depends upon the unequal extensibility of the elements of the valves, which produces the mechanical effect due to it at the precise moment when the sutures, the lines of least re- sistance, are opened by the progress of desiccation." A Dog as a R'itness. The dog refused to.be sworn. It had a sort of Quakcrlik.e simplicity and only ` affirmed, bu las tcstinaony was suffi- cient to decide a case in Justice Mar- tin's courtroom. The animal was a large, stately and intelligent Irish setter. After the hu- man litigants had each told his tale, the dog took the witness stand. "Now, who is your master?" said E. D. Loy, who had replevined the dog from Fred Enderlin, a South Side saloon keeper, ou :Nue 26. The brute. barked, sprang out of the witness chair and pawed. at the feet of Loy. The animal then went through various performances at the bidding of Loy, including running across the street and back at his command. The dog would not act for the other litigant, and the court decided that he belonged to Loy. The animal was then released from the custody of Constable Roebuck. He wagged his tail at the judge and left the courtroom with his master.—Chi- cago News. How' It Happened. "And so you are engaged to °holly Chnbbins," said one girl. ''Yes," was the reply.

I took Parmelee's Pills according to direc- tions under the head of 'Dyspepsia or In- digestion.' One box entirely cured me. I can now eat anything I choose, without distressing me in the least."

For this complaint take from two to three of Parmelee's Vegetable Pills on going to bed, and one or two for three nights in succession. and a cure will be effected. Probably.
