His ono great ambition is to figure as it country squire, and accordingly he dresses for the part, blue coat, Melton cords, gaiters, all complete. But, alas, the cockney accent in his speech, the coeknow shrewdness in his face, betray him, and he is as unlike an old English squire as Lne lion in the den of the Zoological Gardens is unlike the monarch of the forest. "Go and enjoy yourself, Miss Jeanne," be repeats, waving a hunting whip, with- out which he never stirs out of doors; "and, when you're tired, come on to the park. Go on, my dear." Thus abjured, Jeanne skates off, and flies down the lake. Jeanne can skate, swim, ride, sail the Nancy Bell, and walk to an extent that would put to shame many an able-bodied man; and she skates along at full speed, gracef.il as a swan floating with the tide, all eves follow her, notably the eyes of the Honorable Mr. Fitzjames through his eyeglass. For a time Jeanne is left to herself. but presently she finds a companion. It is none other than the Honorable Fitz- james. One cannot account for antipathies, and of a surety Jeanne had no reasonable excuse for entertaining an antipathy to the Honorable Mr. Fitzjames; but her antipathy is there, and when she finds hien close to her side, she tries to wheel off, But Mr. Fitzjames can skate, and keeps up beside her. "Will you take my hand, Miss Bert- ram?" he says, with very much less than his usual drawl. Jeanne cannot very well refuse, and, in sight of the Lambtons he holds her small hands crosswise, and skates off with her. Neither Maud nor Georgina has bar- gained for this, and for a moment they stand looking after the flying pair rather ruefully. "How short Jeanne wears her skirts; really, she is something more than a child," mutters Mand. "Old enough to know how to flirt," responds Georgina, with a compression . of the lipe, wtuch instantly disappears as the mild voice of the curate sounds at her elbow, and she is all smiles. "Oh, how do you do, Mr. Bell? We were quite in despair. Isn't the ice in beautiful condition?" "Very nice, indeed," answers Mr. Bell, beaming around benevolently, "I must put on my skates at once." "I'll help vote sir." says Hal, who has skated up, and is not by any means a selfish boy. "Than you, Hal, thank you," bleats the tutor. "You are here then, and where—where is your sister?" "Oh, Jeanne," says the incorrigible boy, aloud; Jeanne's gone off down the lake with the aweII" Mr. Bell looks up anxiously, and his face pales. "Ah, yes," ue says. "I'll go and ask her to show me that figure she was cut- ting last winter. Thank you, Hal, thank you." And he prepares to start off, quite forgetful of the two Miss Lamb• tons, but Maud is too quick for him. "Would you mind giving me a hand on to the smooth, Mr. Bell?" "Not at all," re-5pends the amiable curate, and he takes her in tow, but his eyes are turned wistfully to the other end of the lake, from which the two figures are coming slowly and tackingly. Both are talking, apparently with earn- estness, and it looks as if Jeanne was flirting, but she is not. This is what she is saying: "Which do I like best? The hollow skates, I think; but I don't mind either." "No," says the Honorable Fitzjames. "You could skate perfectly on either." "Perfectly!" says Jeanne, coldly. "You had better watch my brother skate, if you think I do so perfectly." "Your brother?" murmurs the Honor- able Mr. Fitzjames, putting an eyeglass up and looking around the space, as if brothers usually flew about the sky like swallows. The stranger nods. And, much to the honorable's disgust, she darts off to IIal. "Well!" he says --almost shouts, in- deed. "What do you think of the swell Is an honorable any different to any ono else, eh?" "A little more stupid, if anything, I think," says Jeanne, with calm irdiffer- ence. "He told are that I dwe- epi per- fectly, skated perfectly, and no doubt would have added fell perfectly if I had fallen --all in five minutes." "Alt!" comments Iia], "he ig quite the swell, I can Pee; they all talk like that. I believe. I'll trip him up, if you like, Jeanne?" Jeanne laughs.

"Quite a 'omely party, you know, Pot luck, sir, pot luck," and he smacks his whip against his leg quite like a squire. The Honorable Mr. Fitzjames smiles, and looks at Jeanne meaniugly. "Strange character, Mr. Lambton," he says, confidentially. "Is he?" says Jeanne. "I like him," and again Mr. Fitzjames is nonplussed. "Oh, Jeanne, dear!" exclaims Maud, twisting her thin arm into Jeanne's round one. "We haven't thanked you for bringing dear Toby home. We missed him; we went to Marly this morning. It was quite kind of you, wasn't it, Mr. Fitzjames? You wouldn't believe it! she carried Toby—you ];snow Toby—all the way home this morning." "I can believe Miss Bertram capable of any kindness!" murmurs the honor- able. "Such a weight, tool" says Georgina. "Did you carry him all the way?" "Yes," says Jeanne, "We thought perhaps your friend helped yon," and she smiles and nods. Jeanne turns and looks at her with calm, undisturbed front. "Do you mean the gentleman who walked through the park with me?" she say:;. Maud nods and smies with ebarming significance. des, don L blush, dear! Mrs. Giles, at the lodge, told us all about it.

"Papa—papa : this is the gentleman who helped Jeanne to carry Toby," mur- murs Mand. • "Eh—what—who ?" says Mr. Lamb - ton. But before any further information can be given, the tall figure has nearly borne down upon them. For the mom- ent, it seems as if he was going to pass them without notice. Jeanne remarks the absent, abstracted look on his face, and hopes why, she knows not—that he will do so. But as he comes up to them he looks aside, allows his eyes to glance on the group, recognizes Jeanne, and raises his hat. With a flourish, Mr. Lambton takes off his. "Thank him, papa !" whispers Georg- ina, all in a flutter. "You must thank him." "Good -evening, sir,"' says Mr. Lamb - ton, in the hearty squire voice. "Good -evening," is the grave response, as he passes on; but Mr. Lambton is not to be balked of an opoprtunity of play- ing the courteous old English gentle- man. "Iiie, sir," he says. "I bave to thank you for —" ("carrying my daughter's dog"), whispers Maud. "For your kindness in carrying my daughter's dog home." Mr. Vane stops short, and looks at the distinguished pillmaker with a calm re - rd. "I think you are mistaken, sir," be says; "1 did not carry it.

Port Arthur, Ont., May 8. —(Special). —That Dodd's Kidney Pills cure the Kid- ney ills of men and women alike has been proved time and again in this neigh- borhood, but it is only occasionally they get a chance to do doable work in the same house. This has happened in the ease of Mr. and Mrs, Dick Souvey, a farmer, and his wife, living about seven miles from here. In an interview Mr. Sou- vey said: "My wife and myself have used Dodd's Kidney Pills and have found them a big benefit to our health. We had La Grippe two winters and were exposed to much frost and cold. Our sleep was broken on account of urinary troubles and pain in the Kidneys. We each took six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and now enjoy good health." Treatment o▪ f the Trusts. Leave the trust situation to the oper- ation of the laws of commerce and their operation will result in the survival of the combination that is the fittest—that is, the one that is capitalized nearest to the reasonable value of assets and good will. Violent efforts to dam a commercial development have usuaply resulted in the undermining of the dam. That is now so clearly recognized that the demand for litigation is gradually being restricted to projects for regula- tion, the extension of the methods by which simple corporations are now sup- ervised. This demand is perfectly con- sistent with the proceedings now in pro- gress looking to prosecution of those trusts which have sought to override the Iaw or to grasp at monopoly of com- modities of prime necessity,—Boston Transcript.

Muter Vehicles Used to a Large Extent. in Englend. Motor vehicles for carrying or hauling heavy loads. are now so much used in England that their operation is closely guarded by government supervision, United States Consul Mahin at Notting - halts, has made a report on the subject, "Hitherto," says he, "the legal weight limit of an empty motor car lois been three tons, Now it is raised to five, with an increase in the legal joint weight (unladen) of a motor car and trailer from four to six tons. Hereto- fore there his been no legal weight limit to the load on a motor' car, but the new regulations aim to prevent ex- cessive loading. The total weight of ca r and load is limited to twelve tots The weight borne on any axle shall not exceed eight tons. The weight on any axle at any time is not to be allowed to go beyond the weight accepted, as for that axle, at the time of the registra- tion of the ear, such accepted weight for the axle being termed the "registered axle weight.' As to the relationship be- tween the limitations of twolvo tons and eight tons, it is noted that the greater part of any load, approximating to two- thirds, of the whole, may ordinarily be expected to be carried on the axle to which the driving power is directly applied. "A heavy motor car (over two tons' weight unladen) is restricted to eight miles an hour, or five miles an hour if the ear exceeds in weight three tons un -1 laden, or has, any axle with an axle weight exceeding six tons, or draws a trailer; but to this rule there are ex- ceptions allowing somewhat higher speed to cars having pneumatic tires or other tires of a coft or elastic material. "The axle weight on any axle of a trailer is limited to four tons, If the trailer exceeds a ton in weight unladen, .the provision as to the proportionate width of tires applies; but a minimum width of three inches is allowed. A trailer is not allowed, to be drawn by any motor car used as a stage carriage or for the conveyance of passengers for gain or hire." Toy Wagonload of Pennies.

The Jack-of-all-trades is by far too useful a person to foliowathe five -toed horse and the flying lizard. Something is to bo • hoped from the gradual infusion of common sense into unionism.

And even if Labor should be slow to perceive the advantage of ver- satility the increasing demand for the handy man is likely to replenish the supply. Never was the need greater. Large office and business buildings, apartment houses and spacious resid- ences all require men who can promptly turn their bands to all sorts of repairs, and such men will receive pay as high as the union scale with far steadier em- ployment.

Tho disproportion between the volume of food advertising and the amount of money the average wage earner spends for his sustenance has frequently been pointed out. As to shelter, while eompletbd houses figure in the advertising columns every day, the materials, that enter into their con- struction arc seldom properly exploited. Tho advertising of trademarked textile fabrics and other materials of clothing manufacture is in its infancy. Nothing is easier than to push the sale of articles which people aro obliged to buy.

The crucifix attached to one rosary in gold is an exquisite bit of work. Amethyst rosaries, so charming for one who wears this color, come at $22,50. There are, indeed, any number of pre- cious and semi-precious stones attrac- tively made up, e.• Both Sexes Equally Queer, (I{ansas City Journal.) Call a girl a chick and she smiles; call a woman a hen and she howls. Call a young woman a witch ,and silo is pleased; call an old woman a witch and she is indignant. Call a girl a kitten and she rather likes it; call a woman a cat and she hates you. Wo- men are queer. If you call a man a gay dog it will flatter ]rim; cull him a pup, a hound or a cur and he will try to alter the map of your face. lio doesn't mind being called a bull or a bear, yet he will object to being mentioned as a calf or a aub, Men are queer, too.

M'GILL, • Simcoe, Ontario. The Spider. The spider has a tremendous appetite and his gormandizing defies all human competition. A scientist who carefully noted a spider's consumption of food in twenty-four ]tours, concluded that if the spider were built proportionately to the human scale ha would eat at day- break (approxmiately) a small alliga- tor, by 5 a,m., a lamb, by nine a.m., a young camelopard, by one o'clock a sheep and would finish up with a lark pie in which there were 120 birds. DEATH OR LUNACY seemed the only alternative for a woll-known and highly re- spected lady of Wingham, Ont„ who had traveled over two continents in a vain search for a cure for nervous debility and dyspep- sia. A friend recommended South American Nervine. Ono bottle helped, six bottles cured, and her own written testimony closes with these words: "It has saved my life." 20. Bank Advertising. The old-fashioned idea that, it would be contrary to the ethics of banking for a conservative ainancial institution to make a public bid for new business through newspaper advertising has been pretty effectively exploded. Bank ad- vertising is almost as common nowa - days as shoe or grocery advertising, and equally effective. It is easy to influ- ence people in the disposition of their savings as it is to guide them in their spending. t7se Lever's Dry Soap (a powder) to wash woolens and ilannels,—you'll like it. 32 --e After the Reception. (Philadelphia Press.) "I'!) scalp that reporter," growled old Weston Nurox, over the morning paper. "Why, popper," replied his daughter, who had had her coming out reception the night before, "I thought be wrote me up real nice.' "But he speaks of ye as wearin' 'some soft, clinging material,' an' that reminds me too much o' the time I was tarred au' feath- ered out in Montanny."
