Teem was nothing to keep me on deck, and having satisfactorily em- plained away the cause of my nielety, I decided to take Zamertal's advice and turn in till dinner-tiree, leaving him to do the honors at the too far off for sustained converra- tion with them. Parallel with mine was another table, at the head of which Doctor elevertal presided, with the little learl of Degranniore and the latter's tutor on one band, and a financial magnate and his wife on the other.. Mr. Desmond Orlebar was also placed at the doctor's table, but some half dozen seats away. The "Captain's table" of course accommodated those who were or considered themanves the elite of the shin, and it was not till I found rayself at the head or the brilliant assemblage, and the most deferred -to personage In it, that I appreciated Nathan's compliment in selecting me for the job. Dinner proceeded gaily, and I work- ed hard to make up or lost thno in cultivating friendly relations with the passengers.

The sick titan caught sight of her while I was within two feet of him, and the effect of her appearanee upon him, was as inexplicable as it was sudden. His shaking fingers dropped the now empty glass with a crash upon the deck, and I distinctly heard hir' murmur - "My God I It'4 Ella." The recognition, if such it was to prove, did not appear to be mutual.

The interest in the merry youngster even spread- to our table, his boyish laughter at Za- Verters good humored sallies caus- ing many heads to be turned to look at him. General Waldo, who could see hini as he sat, seemed to watch him unceasingly with the seine pathetic attention due to a kindred spirit. Suddenly, as the ladies were be- ginning to leave the saloon, Waldo plucked me by tho sleeve and e claimed, - "Thunder, Captain I The swell 'of ,the ocean ought to be kinder to the swell on the ocean.

The night was dead calm and,. save for the slight •tremor caused by the pulsing of the engines, the ship Was as steady- as a church. Waldo's suggestion of sea -sickness iseemed, therefore, wide of the /eerie and recollected What the doctor had said of the lad's weak heart in the morning.

A few facts relative to this will not, we trust, be with - Ont inteeeat to your readers. In the year 190e, the consumption of meet in Cenada reached its highest point neinely, 1,045,000 barrels. Of this 045.000 were mede in Can- ecle and 400.000 barrels imported. Prier to .1e0e. Prey three eompaidea were wagaggit M thie matitifeeture. Be the year 1002 no lese than five edditienal companies got metier way. Severel of them, however, did little more than get started and supplied only about 100,000 barrels. In the year 1003 we shell Wore all the cad • factorice in operation and with lergely increatied outputs, and aleo the live new companies above nen. tented. Tbe output will then be for 1903, 1,600,000 barrels, that is to y over 000,000 barrels more than tbe total consumption ot last year, In view of these facts you will per- ceive that the warnings contained in the Mowitary Times and Mail and Empire as to the danger of overpro- duction were well timed and sliould be carefully heeded by the investing public. But when we tell yon that in addition to the five new com- panics so started last year we have teli new memento) now being float - d in the county which are to have, ecording to the promoters, a coin- ned capacity of 10.200 barrels per day equal to an annual cepacity of about 8,500,000 barrels, the utter folly of putting money into more cement enterprizes will be apparent: here is 4 lint et the ten new com- panics with their promised output Barrels per day.

It is alleged that gentlemen who two years ago floated the Durham Company cleaned up half a million of dollars out of the floatation on. a capital of 1,000,- 000. The same gentlemen are found promoting, in different parts of the country, several new companies on a scale still more ambitious than the Durham. Company. For instance the 'Belleville Portland Cement Co. is to have a capital of two and a. half millions of dollars and an output of two thousand barrels per day. Can they be putting any of their own money hi them? If the floatation of the Durham conmariy could, yield the promoters a half a million of dollars the thought of what there must be in store for the floaters of the Belle- ville Co. with a capital'of two and a half millions, fairly makes ones mouth water. These promoters far surpass Engineer Rush, as dispensers of satisfaction. They gravely assure us that cement can be made in this country and profitable, exported to the United States notwithstanding the American duty and notwith- standing the fact that nearly all cement machinery comes from the United States and is subject to heavy charges for freight and duty and that the coal for burning the cement is all imported from the United States and costs here double what it costs there and that the actual cost of burning cement alone is more than they pretend they can make cement for.

But it was a, time of drought, and the chairman of the waterworks committee declared tills course to be entirely out Of the queetion. Ultimately, the perturbed townspeople had to drink the W4 - ter, deriving what comfort they could from the assurance of the me- dical °Meer of health, that the pol- lution being spreed through such te large body of water, its amouut in any one domestic supply would be iuftaltesimaL ung DANGER INCURRED by heartiess girls who jilt young men of a certain temperament and disposition, is exemplified by a ter- rible incident which occurred some years ago. Edward Arkwright, young man, who was thrown over under humiliating circumstences by the girl to whom be had for years been engaged, became possessed of a wild desire for revenge. By degrees he teenaged to regain the young lady's favor. On tee long -deferred wedding „day, the sun shone beauti- fully, the organ, peeled forth a wed- ding niarcle and the young bride looked the picture of bappiness. The bridegroom, too everyone thought, looked exceedindy well, though per- haps at tines a trifle peculiar. All went well until the old clergynuut put to Arkwright the solemn, ques- tion, beginning with "Wilt thou bave this woman?" "1 will," answered Arkwright, in a firm voice. "Not," he added calmly, as he pulled a pistol and shot himself dead. In another case, heavy damages having been awarded against Arthur Tompkins in an action for breach of promise, he had "made up" to the girl again, and ultimately mar- ried her. No sooner, however, was the wedding ceremony concluded, than he darted out of the church, and ran home to hes mother's, where he took poison and DIED IN A FEW HOURS. The girl was left in very distress- ful circumstances. Shethad left the milliner's,where she had been em- ployed as nest hand, and, Tompkins professing to have no means beyond his salary, had spent all her savings in furnishing a little home. A happy sequel, however, to this affair, was provided • bef another and better young man, Eustace Mills, who, tempted, doubtless, by tbe com- pleteness of the arrangements made for matrimony came along almost at once, ad had married the un- eneurniul young widow within a very few weeks. Mrs. Watson, a young wife, com- mitted the crime of self-destruction on another occasion, which is some- what reminiscent of that case where- in a bad boy drowned himself to spite his teacher, leaving on the riv- er bank a lying' letter. alleging all sorts of Eruel treatment against' his kinathearted, if soinewhat strict schoolxnaster. Mrs. Watson was furious over the one big mistake of her life; she had married a man, who, though a very worthy fellow, was much poorer than she had been ledtothebelwicked Lischoolboy, she was filled with thoughts of revenge. She 'began complaining to her par- ents and friends about all sorts of ill-treatinent on the part of her hust band, who never said so much as a harsh word to her, and, finally, SHE POISONED HERSELF in a fit of pique, alleging, with her dying breath, that it was her hus- band who compelled her to take the stele At the inquest, the poor fel- low was completely exonerated from blame; but it will be understood thatt matters- were, nevertheless, made very awkward for hirn for a time. There was no doubt as to the mal- treatment, of Mrs. Betts, an unfor- tunate wife, had endured in anothea case. At last, however, she took a , terrible revenge on her brutal htts- band. -In a letter which she left be hind on drowning berself, she stated hf that her spirit woubil baunt him fort ever, giving him no rest.

Tan BUREAU, DELIVER. Do Not Close It With Your lenge, Madam. Danger lurks now in so many quarters that nobody will be sur- prised. to learn that there is a cer- tain peril even in as harnilese an in- stitution as a bureau drawer. Un- less it is carefully used this institu- tion is capable of causing all kinds of trouble. Listen to the testimony of a physiciaat on the subject. "Women who get into the habit a dosing the bureau drawer by tee pressure of tbe knee," be said, "do not realize the harm that may re- sult from this practice. I have known many serious cases of water on the lame that were caused in this way. "The force required to shut a drawer in this way is slight and one scarcely notices the contact of tbe knee with the drawer. But the knee joint ia a delicate structure and a bruise may easily be caused that will lead ultimately to very serious consequences. I have bad manyomtients who from indulging - in this habit have brought on ill- nesses that lasted from one nionth to six. So my advice to all women is to lean over and shut the drawer. "It is better, although it may seem more troublesome at the min- ute. The leaning over, instead of being a disadvantage, is really an el;cellent means of exercise, and no way of closing a. drawer is so clan- gorous as to push it with the knee" POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
