Dolly is not pleading importunately, but she is putting her case with» salter power. of words and looks before Ronald. He is " her own," the one man in the world who helongi to her, and to whom she belongs; and she does not scruple ;to let her claim to him make -itself manifest before this other girl.'

We may well doubt if ,there ever were any white savages ; it is more likely that the white men were developed late in the race Ili.P.torY ;of the world from ancestors far on, in otrvil. izatic,n with its improved supply of food its hatter housing and clothing, -its higher intellectuality, was one main factor in the development of; the white. *type. Here, however, it Must be reniemberedthat there ,is not a white race in the sense in which there is Carib race, or an Andaman race It includes several race types, and ' even the .same. language, such as English or 'German, may be spoken by men as blonde ,as Danes or as dark ailSieilians. Th -e fair; haired Scandinavian type has ,something Of 'the definitenests of a true race; but as.one travels south there appear, not well defined , sub -races, but darkening gradationa of ;bewildering complexity. The most 'reasonable attempt to •solve' this intricate' 'problem ie Professor Hu.xley'siiew.that the •white race iiiipade up of fair whites of the 'northern or Scandinavian type, and dark • whites who are the result of ages of mixture 'between the fair :whites and the darker ; nations, though it is perhaps hardly prudent to limit these dark am:seaters to one variety, as he does: If now we cannot trace the white man down to the lohe level of Primi- ,tive savagery, neith,er-oen.we assign to hina the great, upward movernentrby which the !barbarian passed into civilization.' It ie not to the Aryan of Persianor to the Semite of Syria that, the art of writing belongs which brought on the new era of culture: The Egyptian, whose hieroglyphics may be traced passing from picture to alphabet, had his race allies in the people of North Africa, eepecially the Berbers of the north coast -people whona no elasticity of .etlano- logical 'system would bringiato the white ;race. Of the race type of ; th'e old Babylon - lane, whoshaped likewise ride pictures into Phonetic signs, we know but little yet; at any 'rate, their Speech was not Aryan, and the comparisons of Lenornaant and Sityce have given some ground for con- necting it with the Turanian language, belonging to a group of natione of whom one, theChinese, had, in remote antiquity,workea out a civilization of which the development of an imperfect phonetic writing formed part. If the great rtaiddle Move in culture ,was inade, not by any breach of the white race, but by races now represented by •the Egyptian and Chinese, it is.not • less clear ; that these -nations- came to the limit of- . their developing power. The white• these had, in remote antiquity, risen high in bar- baric culture:when their •centact with the darker . natiens who invented writing opened to them new • intellectual paths.

A group of four noisy talkers were quite prominent, a few nights since, on a return boat, and thozie in the immediate vicinity were much amused as well as edified by the conversa,tion. I am inclined to think there was much of it pure inven- tion and created on the spot for the amuse- ment of a young lady sittting nela the group, who momentarily. exploded »with laughter and then checked it with a sudden - nese that was ludieroue. , »" • "My Wife," said a stout man of mirthful aspect, "likes to have me come home to dinner." ' »- ",So ;loos mine," chorused the others. " The. other night," continued the" fat man, " I went home pretty late, » took off my shoes and crept upetairs as lightly as a caterpillar. r vaned the chamber door,: shook off my elothes, and gently laid down on the edge of the bed. It was like sleep- ing onethe edge» of a hair brush. In the morning I threw my arm back and found ;the bed erepty. I'll eatch it at treakfast,' thinks I to myself. • Doyen to, breakfast went, just as ftill of lies as a man of my Eliza could hold, and henna no wife, but a note on the breakfast table »and dated the day before, saying Dear Charlie, -Have gone to spend a few days with »mother,' and I had slept on the edge of the bed »when I might have had it alt." I never saw a 'nazi enjoy a joke at. his won expense like the fat man.' An astute -looking individual, who would have been mustered into a detective force on first application and not, aquestion esked,_here took up the running., , " thaVe no fault to -find with 'my wife. 'She is Al, capper -fastened. and all •that, you knew, but I have a Mother-in-law wnom I wish, with sa,tan twenty tunes ,a day. If she should ever die (au event which threatens to be postponed until time rune »out of material) the devil will shut up shop and go -into the country. The other night I told my wife that I would take some mutton tallow and grease the front stair oaa_pet to see » if » that old » woman's neck . could be broken. fthink the ancient has ahabit of` fastening her ear to the key -hole. The next =liming I went down -stairs on nay back, and, looking lip from the bottom; saw the old woman grinning at the balus- trade. Try some mntton tallow dear,' She yelled, 'It's good for bruises.' The third one to chip in was a gentleman with a perfectly vacant cast of counten- ance and apparently with many empty' . • _ _ cane in his naind where no emotion had • ever ,lodged. " When » I, go out," he said, "1 stay all night-, and my wife don't have ,to sit up for me. ' I always send a naessen- ger boy up before I start" to ask her what she's going -to have for breakfast next morn- ing." The fourth »of » the group was a German of a stoical cast of countenance. " You don't commence right like I was," said the Teuton. "1 always has peace in mine fireside. I did not marry mine wife.' It was curious to see how quiet and thoughful the four became as the boat ap- • proached the City of » Brooklyn.-eCor. Louisville Courier -Journal. CUEAP WOOD- .a.'wegeiarianat Advice to -Eleidi Eaters, People can live ' on a purely vegetable diet, but I advise Bonne meat -not too much, however, as it •is an expensive article of food, and not' more »nutritious than some 'Vegetables I can mention. Upen a calcula tion made byme with some care I have found that the thousands of hardworking people of this city wholive very poorly on their small earnings could for still lees, money -live very well. And I will tell you just.what I would doif I.were placed in the position of one of these people at the head of a family. I wouldstint» myself a little for a week as to meat and potatoes, and onthe next Saturday night, when I got my pay, I would take hornea haltbushel of beane, boating about a dollar and a quarter. With thehelp of the beans I could easily economize on potatoes and meat for another • week, and then I would :take »homa a half 'bushel of peas, costing alettuff-Oollar and - seventy -five cents. ' Having, done this I would already ,be 'on the road to trhe economy and they do sa,y.that economy is wealth. ' At the end 'Of the third week I .should expece to' be able to takehome a half bushel of rice» ancl two dozen,cans of tomatoes. The next present ot,,p I would make my family might be a qatentity. of oatmeal sufficient to lereakfast,them every morning for a - naontla' or se, costing from a dollar and a halt to two 'dollars. After this the road would be easy. I would always have in my house provieions, enough to carry me through a month's sickness, if such a misfortune should overtake me, and now, being so -well eupplied, I could afford to indulge occasionally in luxuriee. I could buy a barrel of potatoes or a quarter of beef " at» a time. At the Berne time I ehould expect to find my -family healthier and " wealthier " at the end of »the first meath than they had everheen before, Of (soiree should always pnrehase in 'large quantit• fiefs, as by, that means I would save about 20 per cent. ; but in selecting the most nutritious foodeMstead of throwing away - alt my substance on beefsteak and potatees, I should hays ateleaet_25 per cent. more. , Atathe examination at Limerick of Dr -Connolly »and Patrhek Connolly, , brothers, wheWere arrested id .Bruff on the charge' of implication in a murder conspiracy, MichaelDineen testified thatthe Connellys compelled him to' swear that -he would shoot John Carroll,rent warrter of the Earl of Limerick, and promised the Head Cen- tre.would pay him ;£50 for so doing.
