Varieties of Conversions. (George Jaekeon.) In view a the great variety of form in which the fact of conversion clothes itself, there is one very obvious inference which we must not fail to draw. I do not propose at this point to go behind the great diversities of experience to which the facts bear witness and seek all explanation of them. Modern psy- chologists may be right when they tell us that sudden conversion is connected elth "the possession cf an active sub- liirinal self," and that it is in those in whom certain peculiarities of tempera- ment -pronounced emotional sensibility and so forth -unite that religion finds the best subjects for transformations of the striking and dramatic kind. This ling be on, but after all the particular form which conversion takes is a mat-. ter rather of phychological than religious significance and interest. If it be said that a man such as St. Paul was certain to be converted, if at all, in some such way as is reeorded in the Acts of .the Apostles, religion has no interest in dis- puting the statement, for tbe significance of St. Paul's conversion lies not at all in the manner of it, but wholly in the results of it; and, as some one has re- marked, the divine presenee would have been hist as decisively certified if Saul had become n -diseiple with the calm - nese of Matthew, or Zaecluteus, or Timo- thy. Why in one case conversion should clothe itself in certain emotional habili- ments which in another are wholly -want- ing, is, I repent, a question not so Much for religion as psychology, and we may with a good conscience leave it to the psychologists to thresh out at their lei- sure. Some are driven by the strong hands of stern necessity; some are wooed by the sweet constraint of the sinless Son of God. • Some are crushed and broken and humbled to the dust, and their first ery is "God be mercifpl to me a sinner"; some when they hear the call of Christ leap up to greet Him with a new light in their eyes and the glad confession on their lips, "Lord ,I will follow Thee whithersoeyer Thou goest." Hear then the conclusion of the whole matter. Conversion is the soul's return to God; wherefore let every men journey by the road which lies open to him. Many will come by the Slough of De- spond, and the Wicket -gate and the Hill Difficulty; but that is not the only road to the Celestial City. Many will come by ways worn by the feet of multi-, tudes, and some by a lonely way; pil- grims of whose progress no man has yet. written. But any road is the right road that reaches the goal at last. On the emit three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, on the west three gates, and all the gates lead into the city. The Great Name. Joshua, 7. 9.. Didst thou not promise to be with me as thou west with Moses? Hest thou not lifted. me up to share in this great work. Hast thou not smiled upon me that I might convey that smile to oth- ers? Do I not bear this load of dignity, meat I not go on from glory to glory. Ali eyes are upon me, and on thee, through me; must I resign and pass into oblivion, and the reeording angel write "failure" on my work? It cannot be, it must not be; it shall not be. My people look to me with hope, the enemy look to me 'with fear, wilt Thou turn the hope into fear turd the fear into insult and scorn and derision? What wilt Thou do unto Thy great, mune? Must the mountain become a plain. Must the waters of the sea dry up? Wilt Thou confuse my calculations and foil the completeness of my life? Nay! A thousand arguments roll in like a flood. It cannot, must not be. Look at the °ousel "Israel. hath sinned." This is the poison in the blood, the dullnese in the brain, the dimness in the eye; this takes beauty from the cheek, vim from the nerve, courage from the heart. It hides the face of God, flashea the red danger signal on the downward road; it separ- ates and drives away. Itere is the bin. - den which all must carry, the burden of my Name.

Indeed, the viscount was a great deal more keen about Sylvia's fortune than Sylvia herself. "You don't know how rich I am, sir!" she said to Neville, as they wandared through the lanes the next morning, and he ;showed all his boyhood's playing grounds, as he had promised himself that he would, little dreaming how soon the delight of doing so would beoome pos- sible to him. "Do .you know, Ja-Ne- ville, what I earn m the course of an operatic season? Do you realize" --end. she drew herself on tiptoe and looked at him with all the dignity she could put into her expression -and she was a good aotress, as we know, "do you realize that the young person who ;stands before you is Signorina Stella, the celebrated prima, dolma, and that she can afford to lose five thousand a Neville caught her as she stood on tiptoe and lifted her up in his strong arms until her waist was on a level with his face. "Put me down, sir! How dare you!" she cried, blushing furiously. "Do you imagine that because a certain wild girl called Sylvia allowed you to carry her about -the tomboyl-that you oan take such liberties with the Signorina Stella! Oh, put me down, dearest -some one will see us! Seriously, Neville," as he let her feet touch the ground again lightly, "we can do without this money—" "I think not," said Neville, in his old style, that instantly recalled to Sylvia the hut in Lorn Hope, and Meth, and the claim. "The signorina will have to make her bow to the public—" - "But, Jack! oh, how proud you are! You -you worked for me one time—" "And I'm perfectly willing to work for you now forever, he said. "What I object to is the mere idea of your work ing for me. Besides," his face darkened, "there is such a thing as justice, though I believe it's rather out of fashion to think so, and justice you shall have." There was no more to be said; in fact, they had something else to talk about, these two. But the viscount was not to be dis- suaded from fighting; indeed, he was eager to begin. And when they all, ex- cepting Mercy, returned to London, he went straight to a lawyer's, and in- structed him to fire the first shot in the form of the usual letter. They, Audrey, Neville, and the Mar - lows, went to the opera on the night of their return to hear Sylvia. sing; and her ladyship anticipated much enjoy- ment in watching Neville's delight. But she was doomed to disappointment. He started *hen Sylvia came on; his face flushed when ahe began to sing; but presently it grew pale, and his brows knit, and as the storm of applause broke out after her first important song, he got up from the chair and leaned againet the back of the box . Then he bent for- ward to Lady Marlow. "I -X can't stand it any longer," he growled. "It -it seems as if she be- longel to all of them, and not to me. I must go 1" And out he went. Lady Marlow found hint in the smok- ing room when they came home, sitting With it huge cigar, and looking so unut- terably jealous and wretched that, though she meant to bully him, her heart melted. "You jealous boy!" she said. "1 know -I know!" he assented, red- dening. "13ut I ean't help it.

And though he said not a word, she was satisfied with his answer. • * They had left Mercy at the Grange at her own desire; and Sylvia had left her better -than could have been expected, and with the understanding that Morey, as soon as she was strong enough, should follow her to Bury street. But sha did not do so. Instead of herself, there came a letter which Sylvia has shown to" -no one, not even to her hus- band, for in it, while telling her of her whereabouts, and her plans for the fu- ture, Mercy had enjoined her to silence. "Let me pass out of your life, dear," she had written. "Even the , sight of „your deftr face would only rouse the old pain and anguish. Do not even attempt to see me, for 1 think that I could not bear to see you; judge, thensh ow little able I am to meet any one who knows me and my history." Sylvia understood, and obeyed the in- junction. But she thought of her, even during the happy morn in which the newly married bride is supposed to think of no one but her husband. - They spent three mouths in wander- ing -almost hand in hand, ,certainly heart to heart -about the Continent, then returned to London'where their friends eagerly awaited them; and, as, Audrey said, a second honeymoon be- gan.

They were just going in to dinner, "the house perty," as her ladyship called it, for Lorrimore was there, when he was announced.

The famous Rocky Ford cantaloupe - the real article from Colorado -is it very humble customer, indeed, beside • that monarch of the melon tribe, the Montreal melon. Precious few New York breakfast tables the Montreal melon visits. The swellest restaurants hotels, clubs and the country homes and villas of the very wealthy are .the plaves where It is seen. A melon that costa $1 a por- tion is too rich for the average house- holder's blood. The Montreal is the king of the melon tribe ih looks, size, weight and flavor. It is the one melon grown that never runs the peril of striking a glutted market, for the reason that, whatever its popularity, the acreage on which it is and can be cultivated is very limited. It is truly named in that the only ;mil in which it grows to perfection is that of the Island of Montreal, and even there the melon acreage is practically localized to two posts, Outrernont and Notre Dame de Grace. There aro not more than twenty-five farms on the whole Island of Montreal on which these melons are grown and. the area 'of cultivation, despite all the efforts of Canada's agricultural sharps to extend the industry, is becoming rather circumscribed than increased. The Montreal melon is a true home body and steadfastly refuses to grow elsewhere, no matter • what the inducements and petting offered it. It is curious that the melon, veld& originated, in a warm country, Hindus- tan being its birthplace, should arrive at its greatest- perfection in such a lati- tude as Montreal, but ibis to be remem- bered that the Montreal melon is no heaven-sent gift; it is the product of eternal vigilancealots of hard work and an infinite attention to the details of cultivation. The planting of the seeds Is done ia. March in hotbeds. After a fortnight or so careful inspection is made of the plants, and if progress warrants they are transplanted into other hotbeds. The third transplanting comes in late spring, when the plants are put into what are known as the summer hotbeds. Soon after the frames around the beds are pulled away and the vines, which by this time are well under way,are left to face the contingencies of the wind and weather. As for the growers, all devout Catholics, each prays to his patron saint for a hot, dry summer, which to the melon means size and flavor, The melons are grown in patches, Each patch consisthig of several beds, divided from one another by two or .three rows of potatoes or corn. These serve as windbreaks to prevent the wind from rooting under the young and tender vines and scooping- them up. The melons begin to show. fair size by the middle of July, and netting com- mences. Up to that time the melons are a glossy green. The progress of the netting, which is carefully noted, de- termines the exact time wheinthe melons should be picked and sent to market. The growers take no (lances in this particular, but aim to move their melons just as they ripen, the Montreal melen being particularly susceptible to decay. To obviate this every 'possible precau- tion is taken, and the big fellows are handled as if in cotton and wool. Every path over which the melons are wheeled in wheelbarrows is swept smooth and clean with not a pebble or obstruo- tionaleft. A telt may mean a bruise and a bruise means Swift decay. One can't take chances on dollar a portion melons. Every melon is carefully shored with small stones Re that the air can reach it from all sides, and there will be no earth mark to show the spot where it lay on the ground during ripening. When the Montreal melon is picked it shows no sign of cdiataet with the earth. Every melon is labelled, and they aro packed carefully in large baskets holding from tight to twelve apiece. Shipments are made.. exeluslvely by express, it being necessary to lend the fruit on the mar- ket as quickly as possible. The season lasts from fivoe to Wen weeks. Despite the price Me supply is in no way adequate to the demand, New York being able and willing to take every melon grown on ,the island four or five times, over. ..a—*,..":4•4•481.4•••••...46, berets to the School Girl.

The Edward's Medicine CompanY, 611 Bathurst Street, Toronto, Ont. New Labor Problem. An entirely new problem in the ethics of organized labor has been raised In New York. The oceasion of it was the unprecedented act of a waiter who re- fused a tip of one dollar -which was only ten per cent. of the customer's bill -on the extraordinary ground that his employer paid him well and he never took tips. The walking delegate of the Waiters' Union heard of this remarkable incident and rushed to the refreshment establishment and demanded the wait- er's dismissal, failing which h,e threaten - .ed to eall out all the waiters on a strike. This independent waiter, by the way, is .not a free-born American citizen, but a German, who says he will return to his home in Dresden if he shall be dis- eharged.-Pbiladelphia Record. BED WFTT !NG cmtattAE,E Dol. 76, Ludes, CM The Telephone in Elections. If the coming presidential election should prove a close one. the value of the telephone as a reporting agency in getting the retunas would become a noticeably important factor. Great progress in this respect has been made in the last four years. In the recent Maine election, for example, by mid- night on Monday 90 per cent. of the towns, cities, and plantations of the state had been heard from, coveriing 98 per cent. of the total vote -some- thing hitherto unheard of in that *state. All that remained out of reach of the telephone were some of the is- lands along the cost and some extreme backwoods poitits to which the wire had not yet been strung. Connecti- cut was the first state to exemplify telephone reporting. Two years ago its returns which came in the even- ing proved within two hundred votes of the official count subsequently made. The doubtful states o" the com- ing presidential contest in which the telephone may improve things natur- ally are Maryland, Kentucky, Indiana, and Nebraska. New York's returns come in soon enough now, so large a fraction of its total population is 'n its cities, and the same Is true of Illinois; but the states named are largely rural and have up to this time been annoyingly slow in report- ing their verdict. -Boston Transcript. se • se Scientific Persons in House of Lords. .By the death of the Earl of Bosse the small band of peers in the House of Lords whose scientific attainments have won them recognition in the world of science -from which in the last few months Lord Kelvin and Lehi illythswood have disappeared - is further depleted. Perhaps the -nest versatile smentist• of these still re- maining in the upper house is Lord Avobury, no less cel•brated as a geo- logist and archaeologist than as a botanist. Physics is worthily repre- sented by the Earl of Berkeley and Lord Raleigh (the only Cenior Wrang- ler among the peers) and astronomy by the Earl of Crawford, who is also an ardent naturalist. The Duke of Northumberland, president of the Royal Institution, has a strong scien- tific bent, and entomology owes much to Lord Walsingham, who prrsented his collection of micro-lepidopters-the largest in the world -to lite British Museum in 1901.

Turning from matters of serious naval ,policy, it is pleasant to hear that the ..Kings popularity in the navy has been made even greater than ever by recent incidents on the cruise to the north, the visit to Portland, and during the Cowes week. His Majesty's interest in, and concern for, the welfare of the °Mere and men ofthe fleet is as evident as ever, as is shown by something that happened not very long ago on the royal yacht. An order had been given that the red ceremonial carpet used en deck should be kept in place every night until the King had come on board, or until the officershad done so. One night His Majesty did not go ashore, and about 10 o'clock was enjoying a quiet cigar on deck, when he noticed a mysterious group of sailors waiting about with no apparent object. It evi- dently occurred to the King that it was unusual for so many men to be about so late, and he called out for the quarter- master, "Send for the officer- of the watch," he demanded, and en that indi- vidual appearing, His Majesty asked 'What' are all these men hanging about for?" "The oarpet, sir," was the reply. "What do you mean?" said the King. The officer explained that the men had to wait till the last officer came on board before they could roll up and take away the red felt. "But," the King ask- ed, "don't these men have to get up at five o'clock in the morning?" The offi- cer admitted that that was so. 'Then," said the sailors' royal friend, "in future whether I am on board Or not, you take rip the carpet before you pipe tho men to nipper." So the sailors now get to bed at decent hours. •1 • ' It is this consideration for the com- fort of the most humble about him that so endestrs the King to the navy- lto does His Majesty's "human" character. The other day on the royal yacht a party of sailors were seated between decks during an idle hour, indulging in a pastime forbidden on board -a game of cards for money. Attracted by subdued sounds of laughter, the King strolled along the deck, and, unnoticed by the Jacks below, wet:tiled the gaine for some time through the open hatchway. It was evidently an melting gamble, for the Xing became as much absorbed in it as the men. Suddenly itis Majesty looked up, and there was an officer petrified with astonishment at the speetele of the Xing ealmly followiug the illicit game going on tinaerneatle Setting that he was detected, the King turned away, and walked quietly aft. The officer probably saw a twinkle in the royal eyes that deterred him from reporting the men. At all events, they heed nothing of the incident, lied tha Xing let on never a word.
