Landry, offi- cer of the fifth division, has issued to- day regulations that simply put the port of Quebec under the charge of the military authorities. The order advises proprietors �f steamships that they strive to get their steamers into Port. No vessel shall leave the port of in- spection before it has signed clearance papers. Any vessel disobeying this order will be fired on. "The north channel of the Island of Orleans is closed to navigation. It has been blocked, and, it is understood, mined, and an ship guiding lights have been removed. "It is strictly forbidden for ships or persons to approach the Government's ship or dry docks, and any disobeying these orders shall be shot." .41.••••••• SNEAKING HOME Big German Liner Rounding Coast of North Britain. London, Aug. 2.—The North German Lloyd steamship laronjrinzessin Cecelie signalled by wireless to Malin Head . at 4.15 this morning. The positiou of the vessel was not ascertained. Malin Head is the northernmost point of Ireland. The Kronprinzessin Cecelie left New York last week for Bremen by way of Plymouth and Cherbourg. She has on board $10,- 600,00a in gold. In ordinary circumstances the Kron- prinzessin Cecelle would have com- municated first with the Fastnet ata - tion, off the southern coast of Ireland. It is believed, therefore, tbat the vessel is skirting the north of the British Lele With the intention of en- tering the North Sea and making her way direct to some German port. e • 4.

The earl admitta I that he Was on the board of directora %ea answered, the questions, or rather the captain an- swered them for him. Then Mr. Smythe announced les in- tention of becomhvg a director, andin- i eidentally mentioned that he \ramie, f there was any occasion for it, purchase the mine. Ws made the earl stare, as the cap- tein had inteuded that it should; and when Mr. Symthe rose to take his leave, Lackla.nd's adieu was a great deal more cordial than his greeting. When the rich Mr, Smythe had gone the captain eyed his dupe warily. "A nice young fellow," he said. "Very," said the earl, aA good bed - nos man, I have no doubt." "Immensely rich," said the captain— "immensely. I wonder if the cauntess would obliue me by sending him a card for ber next ball? I should take it as a personal favor." "I am sure the countess would only be too delighted," he mid. "But are you sure that Mr. Smythe would care to coins?" "I am certain. that he would," said tho captain. "Indeed, he was speaking of it only this morning. Poor fellow, he has become infatuated with the beauty of Lady 13oisdale!" The earl was almost guilty of a start. "Indeed!" he said. "I am sure we are very mueli flattered by Mr. Smythe's preference. It is a pity we did not know him. Unfortunately there is no chance of his wishes being fulfilled. I have this morning promised the hand of Ethel to Mr. Fairfax." "To Mr. Fairfax!" echoed the captain, with as much polite astonishment and disgust in bie voice as if the earl had said "His Satanic Majesty," "To Mr. Fairfax !" "Yes," said the earl. "Mr. Fairfax tailed hem this morning, just befere you came, and pressed his suit so earnestly that I yielded and gave my consent—a very reluctant consent, I must confess," "Write a letter to him recalling your consent." "impossible," said the earl. "Why ao?" inquired Mr. Murpoint. "My word has been given, and if I were to break it I would bo cut by every man in London. I dared not show my fate in a single club." "Itis very unfortunate," said tae capain “more unfortunate than you ea,n imagine, for I have not told you sivt, "All?' 'inquired the earl. "What else is there to tell?" "Mr. Smythe is a determined man," said the captain, quietly, "and he assur- ed me this morning that if he did not get your consent to his suit he should to extremities." "Extremities! what do you mean?" "Simply this: that he will buy up the mortgenes and the numerous bills which you have given, and come down on you like a bawk. fie is n most de- termined young man. He will sell Lack - land Hall and everything you possess, as sure as you stand there." "He cannot," said the earl with a smile. "I can make arrangements with my creditors. I can purchase the bills, raise the money, pay off the debts." "I am afraid not,"- said the captain. "Because, you see, the bills are all in my hands." "Your hands?" exclaimed Lord Lack - land. "Yes, mine," answered the captain soft- ly, and with the sweetest smile. "It is very unfortunate! I promised this wor- thy young man that I would use my influence with your lordship to gain your consent. I gave my word of honor, and if / were to break it I should be cut by every man in London, and should not be able to enter a single club." As he used the owl's own words, and smiled Ids soft, deadly smile, the earl Plank into a chair and gasped for breath. "Are you a man or a fiend?" he breathed. "I am simply a man of business," said Mr. Murpoint, 'and a man of my word." "What am I to do? I am in your power!" "Write a letter to Mr, Fairfax and tell him that you eannot consent, that • you rescind the promise you gave this morning." The captain stood over him, quite the master of the situation and dictated. • "Dear Sir; I regret that circum- stances have occurred which compel me, on consideration, to recall the consent which I reluctantly gave you this morn- ing.' 1 must beg of you to believe that / am obliged. by the force of cireum- games to rescind that remise, and that I am strengthened in arty resolu- tion to refuse you the hand of my daughter by the countess, who is strong- ly opposed to any engagement taking place between you. If you have already seen Lady Bloisdale and acquainted her with your hopes and wishes, I must beg that you will, by writing, inforrn her that all engagements between you must cease, and that yon are compelled in honor to refrain from prosecuting your suit. With regret I have arrived at this decision, and sign myself most sin- cerely your well-wisher, Lackland. "P. S.—It -would be As well, perhaps, if you could make arrangements to leave London for a time. If it shiyald be in- convenient to you to do so, I will re- move Lady Boisdale to one of my places in the country." This letter was written and signed by the earl, It was cerried by a tervatit to the Temple, and it was read by our friend, Bertie, as we have seen. Its effect upon hirn was beyond all description. 1 ers, took bis old *At, calling as he aid so for some Mc Presently ackb Mae to light his pi e, and instead, ef reseatmg himself in bts old place, dropped into a chair near Leieeeter. "Come far, sir?" he said, opening up a conversation. Leicester eai6e4 hie eyebrows,ehook haect WaYing hie hand towara Stunt.. py, who interpreted the sentence, an re- plied, in brolsen English: "No, not far; from London." The he commenced to talk of fine houses and big fees, and somehowdrew told off, and without a moment's hesi- tation they seized the nemesary ropes and commenced the perilous task. Leieeeter expected every moment that he and his comrade in danger woul4 be blown or buffeted overboard, and so kept a keen lookout for Stumpy and grasped a spar upon which he knelt, with the determination of an already drowning man. The result showed hat his fear were well grounded. Suddenly he missed from his side the small but courageous form of hie com- rade. Stumpy had succumbed to the last billow. With a shout of "A man overboard!" he hung over the side and peered into the heaving deep. Grasping the bar in both hands Lei- cester rose to his full height, and, amid a roar of warning and excitement from the crew, leaped into the sea. The drowning man was very nearly finished by Leicester's well meant ef- fort at rescue, for the spar just missed his head by a foot. .As it was, however, he seized it with a convulsive grip, and the two men were once more together. For a few moments the ship was lost to them. They were pitched up and down, back- ward and forward, the2rain cutting their faces, and the cold numbing their hands. Then it was that Leicester hit upon a means of Becurine them to the spar. The rope wbich had been fastened to his waist still bung there, and. he man- aged, by dint of sheer force, to drag, it up, and drop it over the spar once or twice, at each turn passing it round the armpit of Stumpy or himself. Ily this means they were completely entangled, and in a rough fashion lashed to the long piece of wood. in which all their hopes of life rested. Dawn broke at last, nnd the storm subsided: but long before then they were half unconscious and wholly numb- ed. When Leicester came to he found himself lying on his back, and the weather-beaten face of Stumpy over him. He smiled, and the man groaned back in reply; but for quite an hour po words were spoken. At the end of that time, when they had almost recovered from the exhaus- tion, Leicester struggled to his feet and approached Stumpy, who was sitting, hugging his knees, at a little distance on the beach. "Come," he said. "We are safe, thank heaven! Cheer upl We must move on." The man rose and looked at himebut although he nodded his head in assent he made no allusion to their late peril or made any attempt to thank hie pre- server. They scrambled up the beach for some little distance, then Stumpy stop- ped. "It's no use of my going any farther, sir; I can't, indeed." Leicester, fully appreciating the "sir" by which the man addressed him, Astared in astonishment. "Why not, man? We must go on! Why should you be afraid to go on? This is Ireland, you say. Do you fear anything from the people on the coast? Ala. I forgot!" he added, as the remem- brance ot his companion's. occupation flashed on him. "You fear the coast- guard." "That's it," said Stuamy. "I should be in good in half an hour.' "But how should they know you?" asked Leicester. "You need not pro- claim yourself." "No need for that, sir," said Stumpy, with a grin. "Look here," and he pulled up the bottom of his trousers and show- ed Leicester a mark branded upon his leg. . "You are a convict!" he said. "That's it, sir; I am," said Stumpy, "and, what' more, I haven't served my time. That's the mark of the chain - gang, and it will never come out. The first thing the guard will ask will be 'Show lie your leg, mate,' and then where am I?" lLeicester thought for a moment deep - y. "All right," he said. "I've hit upon it. You get into that cave there, and I'll hasten up and hunt out some people. I ean get some provisions, and will not be here until dark. We can creep away then and gain one of the towns." So, without waiting for any more ob- jections or refusals, he hurried up the beach. When it grew dark the two stole along the beach, and entered a village some miles farther along the coast than that against which they had been east Up. Leicester had a. little money with him sown in his canvas belt, and Stumpy, having received his wages on the day of the storm, was similarly supplied, By dint of great economy and care- fulness they reached Paris uninterfered with, and here Leicester, without loss of time, commenced to put his plans in- to execution. At a broker's shop he purebased a capital wig of white, or rather iron -gray hair, investea in a pair of broad rim- med spectacles at an optician's, and purchased. at a ready-made tailor's a eta befitting an elderly foreigner of modest means. Stumpy was aecommodated with de- cent clothes, hie long black locks well oiled and combed, and a Small pail of 'gold rings set in his ear% After waiting about a week in Paris to aceustom themselves to their disguis- es the two sham Spaniards erossed to England. Leicester toe& ticket, eeeoed class, for himeelf and Stumpy to Penrifddie. They arrived at night, andboldly de- termined to put their disguises to the test. Leicester marched sleatqy down to the "Blue Lion," Stumpy walking at his aide and tarrying a small valise. "Can we have something to eat and to drink?". asked Stumpy, in broken English. Martha nodded irritably and waved her hand toward the parlor. The two entered. Leicester looked round the room and seated himself in A distant corns A thrill of indignation ran through him as the door opened and job ettered, and. be tould scarcely refraie from epringieg tat the wily little rogae and souring him at ono.

He went natant bis work silently, and with e ortaiti dignity which repelled any advances an the part of his coin- eaniotts. A year end some months passed wear- ily enough for Leicester, who hoped day by day for opportunity for tamp. In spite of all efforts to keep the veeeel from goieg coaetward the schoon- er gradually but surely drifted toward line of reefs, aud the strain was so from Job the story of the murder of Starling and the fact that most of the people concerned in the tragedy had gone away. "It is very strange," he said, "veryi A murder is eot what you would eall cornnaon In England? What did you. do with. ze Mastro Leicester; hang him up by ze neck?" "No," said the man shaking his hesal. "He died without that. Ile- fell over the cliff with the °hap he'd done for, and so the country wee saved the trou, hie of that," Leicester sat like a man in a dream, but gave AO outward sign that the story had, affected him. Stumpy, thinaing, that ho bad pump- ed quite enough for the present request- ed Polly to bring cigars for bimeelf and his master, and lotted bech with an air of enjoyment. After a few words with Leicester, who was known its Signor Edgard°, Stumpy asked if they could have a bed. Martha anlrwered ithortly and decis- ively: "Not I haven't got Wry beds to Sparc." Stumpy inquired where he could get one. • "Here, Will," said the talkative fish- erman, shaking Willie Sanderson who had been asleep, "Can's you let this gentleman and, hut Man have a couple of bede?" Willie rubbed hih eyes and nodded. "I dare say," he said, staring about him. Then the signor rose, bowed all round, and took his leave, followed by Stumpy, with Willie Sanderson to lead the way. Slowly they tramped down to the Sanderson's cottage, Willie opened the door and beckoned to the visitors to enter. Ah they entered the small emitted room a lad rose from a chair and hob- bled forward on a crutch. He was a frail boy, with a pale, intel- lectuel and mournful face. Willie nodded to lam. "Jamie, these gentlemen want a bea; show 'em upttairs to the best room." The lad took the candle and hobbled up the stairs. At the etairhead he stopped and look- ed bard at Leicester, who turned his face lightly and adjusted his sped -ado. Stumpy, who had been warned to be careful, took the candle and thanked the lad.

For the first two moments Bertie's sensations on reading Lord Lad:Ian-Ws letter were anything but distinct, then gradually, as he realized the blow which the earl's letter had dealt him, indigna- tion predominated. He had been basely deceived and be- trayed, and Ills betrayal was rendered all the more bitter by the foretaste which he hd.d bon allowed to have of his happiness. He wandered listlessly down to his club. In the emokineberoorn, to which he re- paired, he fonndFitz extended at full length, sippirg a brandy and oda. Ifa determined on the spur of the mo- ment to confide in him. He told Fitz of his acceptance by his father, and then, of the refusal which he had just received. Fitz, indignant at the treetment received by his otd churn, advised an elopement, not on)' KIDC• tioning it, but offering to act as aid in the affair. • • That night Ethel was taken to Coombe Lodge, and Bertie, who had called at Grosvenor aquare, was told that the family bad left town. Meanwhile Fitz remained and the cnn- vereation lie had with Bettie had nerv- ed him to courage. They Gay that one marriage makes nine by example, and Fitz, cecina that Bertie had been brave enough Co de- clare his love, determined to do so also. That night there was another conver- sazione at Lady Merivale's, and Fitz knew that the Mildmays would be guests. He had an invitation, and he deter- mined to go, though such things were not in his way: hoping to find an op- portunity of declaring, his long love for Violet. The night was hot, and Fitz felt burn- ing uneasiness and fear, for he feared Violet as much as he loved her, He knew whin his heart of hearta that she was too good for bim, yet he could not deny himself the .pleasure or painst. of putting the matter to the t e Lady Merivalc'e rooms were not too crowded. Her ladyship had mercifully asked no more than her rooms would hold, and Fitz, as he entered rather early in the evening, could 6C0 that the Mildma,yee party had not arrived. "Just my ,luck," he murmured. "Of course, now I've plucked up courage, she won't come. Serve ane right. I know ehe'e far too precious for me." He sauntered to a corner and sat down beside an Italian, who had a aer- ies of sketches to ehow and tried to get poor Fitz to speak to him. But the Italian only knew "Yes," mad "No," in English, and Fitz only knew "Macaroni" in Italian, so thus the con- versation did not afford rnueh amuse- ment to either party. Presently. as the rooms grew fuller, a tall gentleman -with white hair and wearing spectacles approached the two, and bowing to the Italian, asked permis- sion to see the sketcbes.

(Guelph Herald) The resoureefulnesa of the army worms Is interesting, even if it is not appreciated by those who are trying to exterminate tne pest, In order to proceed straight in the direction they are going it Is said the army worm will crawl up the sides of a house, but if this is impossible he will execute .a flank movement In order to get around. This he appears to be do- ing at the College. The worms are now found further southward. The, deep fur - Tors have evldentally dismayed thorn, and so now they execute a slight flank man- oeuvre, which they, no doubt, hope to make so as to accomplish the purpuse they have in view.

Those who love experimetttation may try the following method of Mak- ing a cheap barometer practised in France: Take eight grams of pulver- ized nitrate of potassium, two grams of pulverized nitrate of ammonia and dissolve in sixty grams of alcohol. Put the whole in a long, slender bottle closed at the top with a piece of blad- der containing aa. Pinhole to admit the air. When ram is coming the gelid partieles will tend gradually to mount, little star crystals forming in the liq- uid, 'which otherwise remains clear, If high winds are approaching the liquid will become thick, ate if fermentint while a film of solid particles forms on the surface. During fair weather the liquid will retaain clear and the solid particles will rest at the bottom. The Department el EutoMologY of the Ontario Agricultural College, Quelph, hoe sent out the following cireular on the beat control, measures to take: The army worm is a stout, so:Moth- bodied caterpillar, blackish or brown- ish in color, with two Yellowish Stripes, tinged 'with red, along eaeb eide. When full grown it is aboat 1.% inches long, The adult is a moth which lays her eggs chiefly on grass in low land. The caterpillars them- selves never lay eggs Pr produce liv- ing young. The favorite food plants are grasses, timothy, oats, corn and millet. When food becomes scarce the worms MOTO in enormous numbers in search of new feeding grounes. As the pest is being reported from numerous counties, every firmer should examine his fields from time to time to see if they are being at- tacked. If the insects have become distributed all over the field before be- ing noticed, the wisest course will be to cut the crop at once if it is UM- ottly or grain and cure for hay, but if It is corn, scatter lightly through the field a poison mixture, made of one pound of Faris green mixed thorough- ly in 25 pounds of bran, and then moisten with water sweetened with molasses. Make the mixture just moist enough to fall through tho fing- ers like sawdust—not sloppy. If the crop is threatened or attacked only in part, dig a trench immediate- ly in front of where the worms are. In the case where the crop is attack- ed, it will be found advisable to cut a swath through the grain, and rake this off before the trench is dug. The trench is often unsatisfactory, eepeci- ally in clay soil, if it is not properly made. It should be at least 18 inches deep, in clay soil, with a straight clean side towards the crop to be protected. Post -holes at least a foot in depth must be sunk every 15 feet in the bot- tom of the trench. In sandy soil the trench works excellently, but in clty soil it is often advisable as an extra precaution to heap up the loose earth on the crop side right along the trench. The small particles of earth loosen and cause the climbing worms to drop. Hence in slay or much soil It may be advisable to scratch the face of the wall with a garden rake. Do this also after rain. When the worms are unable to climb the wall they will pass lengthwise through the trench, and collect in the post -boles, where they may be killed by crushing or other means. In digging the trench plows may be used, but the balance of the work should be done with spades to insure a clean deep trench. Wherever the worms aro found, prompt actien is very important. 4- - M NU FACT URERS ON THE ADVICt Or HIS DOCTOR ,••••••••.,•••••••••• He peed Or.

It was then that a curious and unpleasant, but only mom- entary, feeling of being stifled was experienced. I do not know the cause. It went away when the machine— atilt upside clown—had passed the top of the loop, and I could see mother earth again. There was not at any point the slightest straining at the shoulder straps. "Looking at the map -like country below the aerodrome, with its thous- ands of spectators just ahead, was de- cidedly interewang, and, I say it de- liberately, enjoyable. No doubt, as soon as the novelty passed one would Lind in it nothing to please more than ordinary flying. To me it was enjoy- able the first time, and still more so in the second loop we made. Toward the end of the loop the engine stops, picking up again as tile machine be- gins the subsequent downward plunge. At the end of each loop the aeroplane plunged down almoet vertically, and this, but for perfect confidence in. the pilot, would be terrifying.

One wonders if the owners of Bach cows are contented with records like that, and if the owners of the various factories concerned aro content to Ict their plants be run With such, poor support. It is a coramon occurrence to find groups of 50 and 100 cows at a fac- tory giving on. the average 300 pounds of milk more than similar groups sup- plying the same factory.

The Arms of Glasgow. The explanation of the coat of arms of Glasgow is curious. On it are an oak tree with a bell hanging on one of its branches, a bird at the top of tho tree and a salmon, with a ring in its nTouth, at the base. St. Kentigern, in the seventh century, took up his abode on the side of the present city of Glasgow. 'Upon an oak In the clearing he hung a bell to sum- mon the savages to worship, hence the oak and bell. A queen, having formed an attachment to a soldier, gave him a precious ring, which the king had given her. The king aware of the fact, stole upon the soldier in sleep, abstracted the ring, threw it into the Clyde and then asked the queen for It. The queen, in alarm, applied to St. Kentigern, who went to the Clyde, caught a salmon with the ring in its mouth, handed it to the queen and was thus the means of restoring peace to the royal couple.—Pearson's Weekly.

Many of the summer frocks, espec- ially those of taffeta or chartneuse, have the fitted basque. Some of the tailors say that this season will end the craze for blousi- ness and that the new fall suits will have semblance of following the trine lines of tile figure. They also say the sleeves will be set in. The handkerchief lines are so smart and fresh -looking they deserve the popularity which is being given them. There is a strong liking for colored batiste shown both for dainty blouses and for whole dresses. It is gladsome news Et) all the wo- men and there is a washable taffeta on the market ,which lives up to its hare°. It will surely be one of the most popular summer fabrics.
