Lady Etheridge commenced and nar-
rated the whole story as she had re-

Colonel Hastings, as he listened, grew
graver and graver, and when she had
concluded, he paused a long time in deep
thought, And then said:

say --awkward as it may be -your mar-

"Our engagesment, Colonel Hastibgs,

with gentle dignity.

Tedious Funeral Sermons.
How long thould it funeral sermon be?
We asked this question of half a dozen
different people this week because of a
conversatio» we overheard in the post -
office in refcrenee to the outrageous
length of a Bannon preached at a recent
funeral. The general opinion seemed to
be that few funeral sermons ought to
be over fifteen minutes in length, At
a time of that kind the less said the
better. Few are coacerned, other than
tbe immediate family and they are hav-
ing trouble epough without being Qom.
pellad to sit and listen to any lengthy
service no matter how interesting it
may be to the rest of the audience.
Fifteen minutes is as lona' as any man
ought to preach and his voice should
never get above a smooth convensetion.

New Military Step for Japan.
. (Japan Gazette.)
Tbe Japanese army has decided to discon-
tinue the German system in the march stop
and adopt a new system in conneetion with
revisloa of the infantry drill book. Ac-
cording to the oldsystem, infantry on tho
march ought to raise the feet high and step
heavily swaying the hands fore and aft.
The stop under the new system is very light
and the march maye be •pormanently contin-
ued, as the feet are not required to be raised
so high and the bands are to be freely ex-
ercised. Each infantry regiment is to send
it representative to the Military Model Col-
lege to study the new step system.

Ball Player's Finish.
The ending of a ball player's career
has in it much the same tragedy that
accompanies the loss of voice by tho
singer. At one fell swoop the player and
his family drop from comparative lux-
ury, ease and ability to have all the
ordinary pleasures of life and fall to
something like actual poverty. Often-
times poverty is encountered before the
and of the struggle is reached. The still
young couple, after several years of
good living, travelling, seeing the world,
enjoying all the fun M sight, suddenly
come evith a splash to the icy water of
poor living, poor clothes, inability to pay
for theatre tickets and trips about, and
inability perhaps to much more than
pay the rent of a small flat -for the
ball player 'who has never done anything
but play ball and who has not saved
his money is against a liard. proposition
before he can learn a trade or find
something to carry him safely along.

What Socialism Fails to See.

(Chicago Chronicle)
11 tbe rigat of 'private property in the
means by whish the multitude ef useful
and convenient things were produced
were taken away the motive to maintain
their excellence and to •produce them at
thie least eost.would disappear.
Deterioration and. privation and high
cost would take blie place of excellence
and abundance arul cheapness, to th.e
vast houry of the masses of the people
whom the socialistic areamere promisee
to Privatebenefi t .p roai
seers, must sell oat 0. nar-

production in order to Ming their pro-
ducts within the reach of the greatest
possible number. No such force would
be in operation to secure the most abun-
dant •supply to the greatest number un-
der public ownership of the means of
pronaetion.
There would, therefore, be less sup-
ply, inferior quality, higher ,prices, no
effort to meet new events and ,general
economic retrogression in place of the
Utopia promise,a by the socialistic vis-

The French people, in naming the
wife's private sitting room her "bou-
doir" practically recognized bar need for
being alone. A place in which to sulk
was provided for her, and there are
times in which even the best tempered;
of men and women feel that their moodl
is unfit for social intercourse.
To recognize this is one of the first
duties of the newly -married partner.
The dark mood will pass, and all the
sooner, if the sufferer is lett unques-
tioned. Queries are quite useless. To
be asked what is the matter. only as-
sists in the curdling process already be-
gun. These are times when he soitit
dwells apart in isolation. To disturb
its eolitude is to call down on one's de-
voted heed the wrath . of the honsehold
gods.
Many married lives are wrecked from
this inability to understood moods. A
husband offers sympathy, a young wife
feels convinced her duty is to win her
loved. one from Illa attittale of mien-
eholy. All either of them requires is ;
