Helen Addison's account of the party at :Madame Raconier's was perfectly correct. The hostess had, some three weeks before, met Mrs. Ellington at Monte Carlo, while the dater was trav- elling -companion to a Neapolitan prin- cess—remarkable, even for a Neapolitan, for her inveterate gambling wherever she went. Meeting Christine one day at _Mrs. Addison's, the French lady had delightedly claimed acquaintance, and invited to her evening at home." Chris- tine accepted, because she knew her hus- band went to. the Raconier house, and once or twidedwhen she could be spared, had dropped in. • But Helen had seen but the surface of the deep waters. She heard the careless question. "And which horse have you backed tor the Ascot otp, Mr. St. Maur?" and the answer, with laugh as nonchalant, "None, my dear Mrs. Erring- ton. I am not going to honor Ascot at all"; but Helen had not seeit the covert look exelianged, the anxious pleading in the wife's eyes, the tender smil in the tnan's that answred it; "For your sake I have trodden under the temptation, this time, at least." Still, Och knee( that the turf was not his greatest _temptation.

'Xite coun- try in ----Shire was pretty:, with two or three placea of sufficient tnterest for rides, planes and. so forth. In the park there was a ahooting- range at the end of a picturesque glen, only three-quartere of a mile from the hOuss, and there was good shooting in the various masons for those who were eportsmen; so, with the addition of a de, lightful beet and hostess, a mouth at Nest Hill bid fair to be a very oujoyulde time. it. Maur was the last arrival, reach- ing in time to dress at once for dinner and, join the party in the drawing -room, where, besides the Cliffords, Archer Northcote, and Captain Darnley, he found a daughter of Sir Artliue Chau - Mug, and two young men, named Tee- lawney and Fitzroy, both racing mon, known to St. Maur and the Addisoes.

Ito had no mind to set Dr. Clifford thinking about asking him "his intentions," or making ineonveniently close inquiries, which would possibly result in that kind 1;:lf coolness wilich politely theta paternal doors against a marriageable, but dan- gerous man. In the drawing room, again, there was very soon an instinctive exodus through . the toraptiugly wide-open • Free& 'windows on to the bread, law terraee and lawn bewoud. • "A. positive sin to be in -doors such an evening," eaid Falconer, leading the van. 'Mrs. Erriugtona do come and look what a glorious sunset." "It's quite your own assumption that Mr. Si. Maur has no intention of marry. ing at some time. I suppose yonire not exactly in. his secrets?" "Jealous of me, are you?" thought the wife, smiling. "Are you, then, Blanche? Let me warn you to guard your tongue .outsicle, at least, if you do hot at home, or Mrs. Addison may retort to such innueeidoes by saying that Miss Leroy is a jealous, scandal -mongering flirt." Blanche got up angrily and flounced out of the room; but the home -thrust frightened her, and resolving to reserve her powers for use in the country, when under the same roof with St. Maur, she was more careful when she met him in society. So the few weeks slipped by, and Fal- coner St. Maur, quickly missed from Ascot, and chaffed thereat, was, in the weeks that followed, missed sontetinies for eights together from the Fawley or other such haunts of reektees play. Then he would "turn up" again, tometimes gambling as wildly as ever, with vary - Ing fortune, when the (lemon, resisted for days, seized him with redoubled force.

Cloudy weather forecaets made by Dr. A. de Quervain, of Zurich, are of the eit- most scientific and practical import- ance. His deductions are based on the familiar cumulus cloud of warm sum- mer days. When reaching heights of six or seven rodeo it becomes a trundle cloud. The high fleeting top minium the shape of a fleecy ica needle cloud and extende sideways in anvil shape. The ordinary cumulus cloud uudergoes similar trans- forioution at a level of three to four miles, and so does not lead to the for- mation of thunder clouds, but merely to the production of fleeay clouds. This sort of cloud cait be regarded as it presage of good weather. The veil - shaped hooded clouds have not been suf- ficiently explained. Often they encom- pass the top of a quickly rising cumulus eloua sod until reeently were thought to be instrumental in the production, of hell. They are always found to be in- timately connected with existing fleecy clouds, and on the other hand presage bad weather, occurring previous to thunderstorms. Even such relibode presages of thun- derstorms are the remarkably delicate variety of fleecy clouds which are most- ly found fleeting about four miles high. On a darker layer they are superposed, delicate white heads. These lofty curly heads, generally in the morning, safely predict & thunderstorm within twenty- four hours. By balloon ascents it was founil that the oceurrenee of these clouds coincides with a violent drop in the temperature.--Chieago Tribune. Novel Rodent Exterminator. A new rat and rabbit exterminator is being tested out in India and Australia. It consists of an outer and inner metal shell, like one small egg in it larger one, In the outer shell is sulphruia acid, in the inner metal egg is dry cyanide of potash. The outer shell is filled -with the acid and placed in the rat hole ot burrow, and all rat holes are tightly +sealed. After an hour or so the acid eats into the cyanide and turns loose a lot of most deadly prussic acid gas. A PIANO FOR 50 GENTS A WEEK This is it golden opportunity for any- one to own an instrument.

SENTENGE =UNIONS. Some have no faith except when they are feeding. Saint's sighs may do more harm than sinner's smiles. When a man makes his own halo he always gets tangled up in it. Preachere would get nearer to hearts if they eared less for counting noses. IIe cannot love his fellows who helps one man to hate another. Casting your care on the Lord does not mean quitting your job. There's a world of difference between borrowing trouble and sharing it. An honest prayer for harvest always inspires a man to get out and hustle. The man with an eye only efor the main chance usually gets off on the side track of selfishness. No man knows how much, joy there is in the world until he bkontes concerned in the sorrows of others. It's not much use talking of giving your heart to God when you leave only the fag end of yourself for your family. Love enlarges the limits of life. You can kow true faith by its fore- sight. The seeret of right tieing Is right liv- ing in secret. We miss most of our blessings by re- fusing burdens. You never lead men into truth by us- ing it as it whip. Nothing deceives its owner better than pious conceit. The lights of the world never tell you to watch their smoke. Life soon denies all pleasure to those who deny themselves none. The man who likes people can be led to like any really good thing. Some churches seem to mistake the dinner bell for the meal. take it it lot of love to hold our chil- dren from the snare of luxury.

The advantages of an electrical shovel over a steam shovel have recently been portrayed, showing that wherever elec- tricity is available at moderate rates, the electric shovel is much to be pre- ferred. One of the great objections to the steam shovel, says the Scientific American, Is the fact that the expenses of a fireman must be paid, and the fuel, as well as the water, have frequently to be carted for a very long distance. Steam must be kept up continuously, despite all delays in operating the sbovel, while for tho electric shovel the same arguments apply as are made in behalf of electric drive in machine shops, namely, that when the shovel is idle there is no consumption of power, yet the power is ready for instent use when- ever it is needed.

There is another Chesteron in the field, who appears to be anxious to turn the world upside down, with his pen for A lever, as the more distinguished bearer of the name. Ceeil Chesterton is, in point of fact, the younger brother of the redoubtable "G. X. C." whom he resembles in features, though not in stature. The younger Chesterton, in addition to being an able writer, is a redhot So- cialist, and in his new 'book, "Party and People," which Alston Rivers is about to publish, he -will probably reveal a capacity for treading on the toes of the politically and socially orthodox as pro- nounced as that of his "big brother" hinnelf.—The Bookseller.
