Redmond, leader of .the Irish Nationalist party, states that 120,741 Irishmen from Ireland had joined the British army up to June 16. kif this number upward of 70,000 are Catholics and about 21,000 are enrolled members of the Irish National Volun- teers., an organization which Britain's enemies are said .to have believed would not come to the support of the empire.

Almost .6,900,000 homes were owned free then, or to be exact, 5,984,284, and 2,931,695 were under' mortgage.

Bryan says "that the signing of editorials and news reports would contribute both to accuracy and to the repotatien cf writers.

And each clay he saw this benumbed and frozen heart slowly reawakening to life. It was a delightful spectacle to the doc- tor to sea it timidly putting forth new buds. Juliette hoped, but with fear and trembling, mid at times she would stop short Suddenly on, the road whither her imagination would lead her. What if, after indulging iu these dreams, she should have to fall back again into her former state of despair? What if tee reports they had heard should prove untrue, and Pierre had not been reamed? He heart was tortured by these conflicting hupes and fears. It seemed to her imposeible that death should have snatched away in an instant this young man ee full of life and vigor. She recalled to mind what her brother had said to her at Beaulieu: "His body has not been recovered." She had mot at the time accepted these words as a ground for hope. But now was it not evident that if the sea had not cast his body back upon the shore lt was because he had been saved from its treacherous waves, and that ao still lived? The hope was now se deeply rooted in her heart that to tear it thence nothing less than positive proof wouei have sufficed. For her who loved him, it would be necessary to see Pierre dead in order to believe that he no longer lived. This very morning Davidoff had ventured t� say to Juliette: "I dined yesterday with some people who met our friend in Italy and spoke to him. We may expect to see him make his appearance one ot these days." She looked fixedly at the doctor for a few =Meats, and thee said: "Why do you not tell me everything? Are you afathi of the effect my joy would have upon me? You are wrong. I am certain now that he lives. I saw him last ntght in my dreams. He was in a church, a poor village church, and he was painting a sacred picture, His face was ead—sad, and from time to time a tear rolled down his cheek. I had a conviction thee he was thinking of me. I wiehed to cry out, 'Pierre, enough of sorrow, enough of separa- tion. Come back; we are waiting for you, and it would make us so happy to welcome you.' But a sort of mist arose between us, and I could only see him faintly, in vague outline, and I could hear distinctly the Mese of the paves, like the surf beating against the recite at Beaulieu. Then this mist .disappeared, like a veil which is torn away, and 1 saw him once more clearly. He came toward me, a smile upon his -lips. He made a gesture as ff to say, 'Have, patience; I am coming,' and then I awoke, trembling and exhausted. But 1 have faith,. He is 'Jeer us—in Paris, perhdes?" "Can you describe to me the churcb of which you speak?" asked- David- off, greatly surprised. "Yes," returned Juliette ' "It stood facing a square of a village. The gateway eo it was. of red standstone, surmounted by a sloping roofe of brick. The walls were whitewashed and everything in it was of the humb- lest description—a few wooden bench- es, a plain chair, and a very simple al- tar." "And the picture Pierre was paint - ?ng" asked the doctor, "did you see it? Can you remepaber what it was like?" "Yes, there was an open. grave in it —from which- a dead man was rising. I saw in this an omen." Davidoff shook his head in silence, greatly impressed by this extraordin- ary revelation. It was evidently he who, by the power of thought, had made Mlle. de Vignes see the church at Torrevecchio, and the picture of the Resurrection; but the noise of the waves sttiltieg the ear of the 'young girl, at the Very hour in which Pierre was on the sea, how explain this? He remained silent, and despite all Juliette could do gave her no further information. But his attitude, .h -is words, all had announced a coming event. The doctor left the young girl Id a state of agitation which he thought fayorablo to his plans, and took his (Wafture. In the evening when he stopped before Mme de Vignes's door, accompanied by the man whose presence was so ardently desired, his heart beat violently. He pressed his friend's arm with force, and pointed to the last window of the entresol he said: "Remain here and keep your oyes fixed on that.twindow. When you see Ole appear at it, come in, but not be- fore, I am going to prepare the 'way for you, I am more unoasy than I can tell you." He entered the house, leaving the painter on the sidewalk below. Laur- ier, left thus, alone, was seized by an emotion sintaar to that which he had experienced' standing on the rocky point at Torrevecchio, the sea rolling at his feet, When, after receiving Davidoff's letter, he had questioned Itis own heart to know if he were worthy of Juliette. A solemn emo- tion took possession of him while he thee waited the `moment to present thimself to the young girl. He was grave and .thoughtful with the sense that he Wax Making an act of reparae tion. He had hone of the impatience, the JoYfuL eeace of a convert who is about to abjure his errorts, obtain par- don for his sinu, and live henceforward In peace with God and man. He stood leaning against the wall, his eyes fixed on the window, thinking of the scene that was taking plate in the darkenee tipartment within, There was no sigh' of life; everething „was si- lent. A great calla absorbed every other within him—hs love for Juliette. He recalled to mind the timid and in- nocent love ot the young girl, he re- membered the sorrows Ile had Made her suffer, and face to testi With DiM. lielf hi iito 'Aliened 'Or die night, he swore to make her forget theta. At this moment the whidoev was faintly illUellhated, and Dr Davidoff gave the signal for his friend to enter. Laurier hurried forward and with beatitig heart mounted the steps. The door Was open, he crossed the hall, entered tlie drawing -room, and stand- ing by his mother's ititle ha front of the ehininey-piece he sale Juliette. He Vittleed MOtienlese, his lfmbs trerable • Ing, gazing at her with an unsteady glance. She seemed to him taller than be- fore, pertueps because, she had grown thinner and had lost her color, Her white hands howed delicate and transparent against her blade robe. Her eyes, filled with tears, shone with a soft brightnese. She smiled, and ex- amined Pierre as More waa ere amining her. She though he' had grown handsomer, with his sunburaed face framed by the brown beard he had allowed to grow. She read on his brew traces of what he had suffer- ed, and this compensated her for somethieg of her own suffering, Her smile ended in tears, and putting her handkerchief to her eyes Ole eank into an arm -chair and burst into , tears. Pierre -uttered a cry, and rushing toward her threw himself at her feet entreating her forgiveness, Mn o. de Vignes in much alarm hastened to her side, but Davidoff reateueed ber with glance. Then the mother and the physician, seeing that the twe your g People had forgotten everything but themselves, left than to enjoy in freedom the first moments of their happiness. When they returned they found Pi- erre and the young girl seated *amide each other, her hand elaepel in hie, Juliette was telling him of her pest sorrows. She emiled at the retollec- tion of them now, but Pierre could not hear of them witheut emotion.. "My friends," said Davidoff to the lovers, "we have kept our promise to you, and you are now balmy. This f Is very well, but even of the beet things it ie possible to have too much, Mlle. de Vignce is not yet ;lining enough to allow of her enjoying any- thing, even happlaees, in mesa She has had enough now for one occasion. Besides, you will have plenty of time to see each other ,n the future" But Juliette pleaded with her moth- er for a quarter of an hour'', great, and Mme. do Vines hall not the courage to cloud, n;,- is refusal, the lovely face whi ,a was new radiant with joy for the 'fret time In so many months, She fe'.t that the vinery was already e;ane, and that yeah and loye had lei t n- hed over death. The feeling of bitterness which she had cherished against Laurier as the c'ause of so much unhappiness 1 anish- ed when she saw thetransfornation his presence hacl effected in Juliette. They sat, then, oblivious of In ce listening to the accoaet Pietro gave of his life in the little Corsican ham- let. Juliette already loved Agostino, Marietta, the old mother and the good cure. And the promise meee by 'Pierre to his friends at Torres E c- chio to return to see 'hen was ment- ally eenevved by her in the fullness of her heart. It struck midnight before they separated. "You will not see us to -morrow," Bahl Davidoff to his pacient with a smile. And as her face made e.y clouded— "We must not think of you alone, dear child," he said, gently. "We have still to perform another cure, more difficult than yours. We start for Trouville to -morrow morning to see your brother." In an instant the momentary sel- fishness, which had cauued her to for- get everything but her own happiness, disappeared. She remembered the painful position in which she and her mother were placed, and all the clear- ness of her judgment at once return- ed to her, She pressed Davidoff's hand, and said•tci Pierre: "You are right; go, both of you and do for my brother what you have done for me! If you succeed you cannot Indeed make me more grateful, but you can make me more happy." Then, taking her lover by the hand, she led him to her mother. Mme. de Vignes opened her arms to the prodigal son,. and as Pierre received her kiss, he felt that now indeed he was abeolved. CHAPTER VII. There was to be a grand breakfast at the house of Clemence on this day, which was the first day of the races. A number of her friends had arrived from Paris the evening before, and the actress, who had met them at the Cas- ino, had then invited them. Among them were Prince Patrizzi, Duverney, a painter of the nude of the modern school, and a wit who still preserved the gay good -humor of his youth- ful days: Baron Tresorier, a stock- broker and one of the best swordsmen of Paris; Berneville a eportsman who rode like a professional jockey, and Who had broken his collarbone seven times riding steeplechases; the Duke de leaucigny, the youngest member of the Chamber of Deputies, an uncom- promising legitimist who had strenu- ously advocated the claims of Don Car- los; Burat, the theatrical lawyer, the possessor of the most biting tongue of any member of the profes- sion, a regular attendant at first nights and an ardent collector of paintings; and Selim Nuno, who had come to see his mare run for the Agricultural sweepstakes, and who concealed his anxiety as to the result under an af- fected gaYety, The women were . An- dree de Taillebourg, Marlette de Fon- tenoy, Laure d'Elvreux, and Sophie Viroflay, all beautiful wonien, droop- ed to perfection. The party was ar- ranged for the entire day. After break- fasting at Clemenee's they were . to be driven on Nuno's coach tO the race- cottrae. On their return, after making some changes in their toilettes, they Were to meet at half-paist seven at the Roches -Noires, where Tresorier had invited them to dine. Afterwards they were all to go to the Casio for a dance, Jacques took a turn through the gardens with Patrizzi, while °lee mence chatted with Nuno, who had seated himself beside her. "Do you know that Jacques offers ten to tone against Mandragora?" she said. "He hag Won so ranch at play dm rig the last few days that he the ns everything is going to sueceed Witji him." Nutto reddened with anger, and ris- ing to his feet with tin effort,— "I'll take his bet, and for more than he Would be willing to stake," he said. "I am sure of my mare." "But are you sure of yettr jotkeYr asked Berlieville. "You knew that Chadeval Milled La 13ottverieei horse the other day at Caen." I am liot Uneater: Peterson Can- not get as Intieh frOin any One Meter losing fie he can get ft= nee for wine ning,' "But, my dear Nene," said Andre° de Titillebourg, "what you have pro - 'Weed to Petersen will not give legs to Mandragora," "The mare is a first-rato aflame,' retorted the banker. "Bah, she is not worth a straw." "I'll lay even odds on her against the field," cried Nuno furiously, NUlle, you will Make yourself ill," said Sophie Viroflay. "There is noth- ing go dangerous tie to fly into a pas- sion before eating," At this moment the doors leading ireto the dining -room were thrown open, and the maitre d'hotel annouric- ed breakfast. Clemence took the arm of Faucigny; Jacques, who had re- entered with Patrizzi, offered his to Sophie Viroflay, and tee guests pro- ceeded to the dining -room. Thie was a magnificent apartment hung With Chinese eine with furni- ture of carved wood, which opened in- to the coeservatory on the one phi° and into the garden on the other. Three large bay -windows of stained glass, representing strange flowers and fantastic birds, looked on a ter- race, in the centre of whice was an 'reposing flight of steps leading to a lawn bordered with flowers. Through these windows, open to the breeze, the sunlight streamed in. The turf of the !Men Was of an emerald green, and the eande'd walkshorn dazzling white in the sunshine. The blue sky faded in the distance into p violet hue. The heat and silence tended to produc'e a feeling of well-being, and the guests of °lenience, yielding unconsciously to the influence of the day, gave them- selves up to unrestrained gayety: in the midst of the general merri- ment Jacques alone remained grave, as if some secret remorse preyed upon Itis mind. Delivered for the time be- ing from his pecuniary anxieties, his thoughts reverted to those whom he had so cruelly wronged in order to procure this last supplyofmoney. In the midst of this gay company he wee possessed by the most lugubrious ideas. He looked at the brilliant table laden with flowers, silver and crystal; he observed those who were seated around it, and he saw that they Were careless and happy: He alone felt the pangs of remorse for an ill -spent life. None of the °there were troubled either in mind ox' heart. He heard their bursts of laughter and their jests; and thus it was with them every day; the same unconcerned gayety, the same round of pleasure. For him, too, every day was the same, embittered by anguish which • he could not subdue. His eyes were fastened on Clereence and Faucigny, who were talking together in a low voice opposite him. He could not hear their words, but he divined what they were saying. The duke in nis soft and insinuating voice was paying court to the actress, and she was lis- tening to him with a smile. Jacques' brow contracted with a look ot pain. "It is because I am growing morose that she is getting tired of me," he said to himself. He emptied one af- ter another the glasses that Stood be- side his plate, and this mingling of the different wines brought a flush to his cheeks. Suddenly he heard Patrizzi calling to him across the table. "Tell me, Jacques," he said, '"does not this breakfast remind you of our dinner at Monte Carlo? Some of the men and most of the women here to- day were present on that occasion. We were not as gay agove are now. And, the stories that were told! Do you remember?" "And that reminds me, how is it that .the Ruesian doctor who is tray- tling with Woreseff is not here?" said Andree de Taillebourg. "He has been in Paris for the last five days," said Patrizzi. At these 'words Jacgees fancied he saw the paleand sorrowful image of Juliette rise before him.. She was seated in the drawing -room where he had spent so many evenings while he was still an obedient son and affec- tionate brother. Madame de Vignes- was bending anxiously over her daughter, and Davidoff, standing be- side them, was looking at them with pitying eyes. It seemed to the young man that his mother had uttered his name, and that the doctor had an- swered her by shaking his head sadly. Was it not he who ought to be at the side of those two women? Why should it be left to this stranger to console his mother and his sister? A voice murmured in his ear: "It Is because wou have refused to fulfill your duty; because you have sacri- ficed your mother to your passion for gambling and your sister to your love for a coquette; because You are a cow- ard and an ingrate." He burst into a, sudden fit of laugh- ter, inexorable and terrible to those who heard him, which drew upon him the attention of all the guests. His face was pale, his lips were tightly drawn, and his eyes were gleaming. "Yes, yes," he cried, without heed- ing their astonishment. "The dinner at Monte Carlo was not so gay as this breakfast. I was dying then, for ene thing, and to -day I am well—oh, very well, thanks to Davidoff, wile has propounded an admirable theory re- specting the transmigration of souls. You have not forgotten it Patrizzi? Nor you, Tresorier? ..Ho told us a story about a young Ruasian girl —a curious story, indeed! And what an amusing story -teller Davidoff is! No one among us took his story seriously, not even you, Patrizzi, although you are a Neapolitan, and consequently superstitious. For you believe in the evil eye, do you not, Prince?" "Do not jest about those things," responded Patrizzi, who became sud- denly grave, and made with the two fingers of his left hand a quick ges- ture behind his back. "Ah, ha!" cried. Jacques, sarcasti- cally; "did you see the gesture of tho Prince? He wants to charm away ill - luck. Ile believes in the jettatura; Yet he did nOt believe itl the theories of Davidoff. No lee be- lieved in them, no One—except Pierre Laurier. But every one knows the poor fellow was mad!" ;(1'0 be conttnned,Y Must Keep the Curtains Up.

Mlnarces Liniment Cureo Garget in Cows. Prudence and Shaving. Tho classic case ef a king who knew bettor' than to let anybody else snuve him is that of Dfonysius the Elder, tyrant of Syracuse, who appears ,to have been unable to shave himself, for he is said to have resorted to the un- comfortable device of singing off his beard with hot walnut shells. We may suspect that Napoleon's was an- other case of the kind. Rogers asked Talleyrand whether Napoleon shaved himself. ."Yes," replied Talleyrand; "one born to be a king has some one to shave him, but they who acquire kingdoms shave themselves." That way of putting it pleasantly empha- sizes the practical superiority of the, parvenu to the helpless spolied child of heridity, but prudence probably en- tered into. the matter also, if Talley- rand's statemsnt was correct.—London Standard.

It is not medicine or doc- tor's advice they need to make them feel better, but the exercise of a little common sense that will cause them to get some variation In their work, join some sport and play the game.

The problem was ono of no great difficulty, inasmuch as all the elements were known. The full force of tile rain endured for ten hours. If affected a territory of approximately ten square miles. 'lee entire mulletl ainetinted to enict- ly 4.17 inch, according to the accur- ate measurement of tuu weether de- partment men, elle average height of the rain clouds was 5,000 feet. With these facts known it was a Simple matter of arninnetie to find that la the ten ItOttni of the stern' aomothing like 10,e00,000,00U gallons of water had fallen over a distance of 5,000 feet. . That was a majestic cataract, for the time being at least, comparing very favorably in volume and height with any that exists upon earth. in energy, as the scientist figured, it was equivalent to no lees than 15,000,00e horse -power hours. That power, converted into electric- ity, would light a considerable citY for a period of 425 days. Ten square miles is but an in- finitesimal portion of the earth's sur- face, 'hardly a pin point on the neap. A single rain storm, no matter how great the precipitation, is but the merest fraction of the vast annual fall of, water from the skies. What; thefferaUst be the energy in the whole vast volume of water that pours down fromabovein the course of an entire r? And what as the scientist himself asks, would be the effect upon the industries of the world could all this power be ecopomically harnessed to the use of mankind? •••••-•-..-•-•-•411, No Girl Need Have • A Blotched Face Weeether it be in capturing the heart of man, or making her way through the world by tho toil of her hands, a charming and pretty face gives any girl a big advantage.

Kant, the Scoto-German, began his name with an alien "k" on the same princitile that caused Mudroch, the Scottish coal gas discoverer, to bring his to an end with a "k." If you turn to Murdoch's biographers you find them explaining that Murdoch with a "k"is the English form of Murdoch with an •"11."

HONEST MANUFACTURERS. (Ottawa Citizen) The Canadian manufacturer is, on the whole, an honest producer of goods. To prove this it is only necessary to review the quality of 'Canadian made goods and to analyze the government report of pro- ducts made In the Dominion. There are some dishonest contractors, some dis- honest and dishonorable manufacturers and some tricky individuals in all lines of commercial life, but it is likewise true that most people know of these firms and dealers and know them Ler what they are. That in itself Is con- demnation and proves once more that honestyinard, sal eLiniment p ays. m Cures Diphtheria, '4.4 Paper Bullets. Bullets of paper or tallow have been found to be productive of far greater damage then metal eines when used for short distance firing. During some experiments in this direction it was proved that, whereas a metal bullet penetrated a deal plank an inch in thickness and left a neat hole, a paste- board bullet had a far greater destruc- tive effect upon the target. A paper bullet passing through six pieces of tin placed at a distance of a foot apart buckled them up completely, whereas a metal bullet merely left a small round hole. NaVyl. iat's in a name?
