to Erna once, during the day; "butshe

said Mrs. ifutthins; "and I feel' all the

Mrs. Hutahins, apparently regarded a
volcano as a sort of bomb.
That evening Mr. Hutthins began to
suspect the meaning of Mrs, Forster's
conduct. The time for her Arrival
came and passed, and she did not put
in an appearance. He waited on net-

her presence. She ,was lesieg in bed, her
faoe pale, and her eyes circled with
dark rings. The room was lighted but
dimly. •
"Is that you, Mr. Hutchins?" she
faintly asked.
"Yes. or Heaven's sake, Mrs. Fenster,
what is the matter?"
"I do riot. preeisely •Icnow; 'but; over

Mr. Hutchins growled. He understod.
thoroughly how siele she was. It .tvas
aer wayf informing him. that she was
to remain supreme in the company.
"Is there nothing that can be done to
make you well?" he demanded in des-
pair. The engagement at the Globe was
it good one, and the loss of a perfor-
mance meant a great deal to him.
"1 etun think sof nothing," she answer-
ed, faintly. "Perhaps in your experience
there is something you could suggest."
IThEtt Meant nothing else than the im-
mediate dismissal of Erna. Such dis-
manager each time be made on. The ad-

"At least," said. he, "you .might have
given nre puificient warning of this."
"I do not understand you," she said,
feebly.
"I aid not know of it myself until a
short time ago," she anewered, a note of
mockery betraying itself through the
simulated tones of illness. "You -will re-
member, perhaps, that I was not well
this morning."
"Oh," he said, in exasperation, "you
began to play it so soon. Yes, I remem-
ber now."
"I do not. understand you," silo said
feebly,
"Ah," he exclaimed, indignantly, "why

"Perhaps," , she answered, slyly, "you.

part justice. What a pity Miss Garnes
could not take the part!"
It was extremely sarcastic, and for a
moment the manager erceme,d. 'Men a

"I will teach that termagamt a lesv.z.

He was a mild man, who would al-

second was repeated—exceeded, even;
and. Mr. Hutchine told his good wife
that it didnot matter to him, now, how
soon that virago of a Mrs. Forster 3eft

"I say, Hutchins," said the leading
man, in the hearing of Erna, "whaa do
you suppose is out front?"
"Couldn't guess:' i
"This will nterest you, Miss Gurnee,"
said the leading man, laughing with the
air of a man who has something inter-
esting to tell. "Mrs. Forster has had a
miraculaus recovery, and is tett there,
learning how the part should be acted."
"Heavens, man!" cried the maneger,
in tut agony of dismay, "why couldn't

"Why, Mies Gurneet won't care," de-
clered the leading man, wondering if he

the heaatiful Miss Gurnee.
As a matter of fact, Erna would hard-
ly have recognized. him off the stage.
She was certainly surprised to know
that Mrs. Forster was out trent; .but
it did not trouble her;
and she went
through the fourth actwith the same
effect she had the former ones.
Only once she was momentarily dis-
coneerted by the sudden sight of the
livid face and gleaming eyes of Mrs.
Forster. The feeling passed away at
once, and she did not look in the direc-
tion of the evil face again.
"A new star has arisen in the theat.
Meal firmament," said Mr. Hutehins, as
he, with his witp and Erna, went home
after the performance.
"The papers will be full of it in the
morning," said: Mrs. Hutchins.
Erna. was not above the enjoyment of
seeing herself praised. in the public
prints. In fact, she had a natural eager-
ness to know what was thought of her
meting. She could not help feeling all
the delirium of a triumph, and, besides,
she rejoiced to know that the new life
was enabling her at times to forget the
agony of the old.
She had a profession to live for now,
she told herself; and if, after the tri-
umph, there was still found an ache in
the heart, she could at least hope that it
would some day wear away.
Erne was late at breakfast, but she
found the manager and, his wife there.
It seemed to her that ithe noticed a
peculiar expression on their faces; but
as she eould conceive of no reason for
suthea thing, she dismissed the thought,
and sat down after exchanging greetings
with her friends.
She looked about for the papers that
usually were on the table but did not
see aay, and waited silently until they
should be brought-. There was surely
something the matter with her friends.
They were constrained in manner, and
Mrs. Hutchins, especially, would Occa-
sionally steal a glance of commiseration
at her,
"What could it mean? It was nat-
ural for her to remain silent in suck a
case. She wetted a reasonable time for
one of them to make some explanation.'

We are much obliged to the English
journel which proposes to get rid of all
the pauper infants by sending them
here. The eemitrk might sound rather
malthusian; otherwise we might say
that the beet way of getting rid of
pauper infants would be to abstain froni.
bringing them into the world. A man
surely has no ' right to bting into the
world beings -whom he. cannot support
and thrust them tin the comtuunity.
Malthus may Wive been rough in the ex-
pression of his views, though the blame
for this rests, it is believed, mainly on
his disciples, but it is difficult to deny
that he is right.

Effects of Wind on Water.
It is an ill wind that blowesnobody
some good. And all winds and storms
are said to be beneficient as a whole
and only injurious when regarded
Irom it limited, point of view. Violent
storms do riot produce the greatest
results. A steady wind blowing from
the same quarter for it long time has
a more powerful effect„ as is sbown
by what ocean on coast lines which
are exposed to the full effect of the
two most prevalent winds-. High
waves in order to produce severe dam-
age must have sufficiently deep water
to travel, which means that for the
majority of walls erected for sea de-
fence the danger is limited to cars
thin states of the tide, usually a little
before and a little after high water,
With regard th the current forming
effect of the wind, it is probable
that near the coast in shallow water
the wind is most effective in drifting
fine bottom material, But it seems
that the wind which blows obliquely
inshore is more effective in causing
drift than any other and is conse-
quently the most to be dreaded as a
factor in causing aoast erosion,
Storms affect coasts chiefly through
the agency of sea waves and currents.
The movement of sand is sometimes
considerable. This is shown by the
forrnation of immense sand dunes.
These dunes often tend to advance in
theeland by •the transference of sand
from their seaward to their landward
face: • . • •
Large areas of land have been de-
vaatated and houses and churches
buried in this way. Storm waves and
currents generated in shallow water
by hight winds are, however, the groat
agents in devastation. When a gale
blows directly inshore it drifts the
surface water against the shore, caus-
ing an undertow seaward, which is
a more powerful factor in carrying
off suspended matter and denuding
the coast of sand.

A mixott CRITICISM.
Sir Charles Wyndham, at a dinner,
discussed the leanness of actresses.
"It is odd,", said lie, "but the thinner
MI actress is tho greater she is likely to
become. To be thin, somehow, is to be
artistic. Look at Maude Adems, Ethel
Barrymore end divine Sara,"
Sir Charles langhed.
"Once, at it reception that Mme. Sara
Bernlearat gave in Paris," he said, "she
led us all up to admire a new portrait
of herself. 1,1; was n beautiful work.
