The eeason was at its height. Loudon,
the Gay and Gruesome, was throbbing
with life; the fashiquable streets were
crowded with carriegees the parks were.
'thronged by day, the theatres and the
ballrooms as thronged by night. Weary
but statuesque penecmen controlled a
tranie whish threatened to engulf them
at every erosiUg1 endin the sunlight
that set the motes dancing in the warm
,lune air, and in the beams of the eleetria
light that Beaded the streets and rend•
eyed the jewellers' shops dazzling, the
women of rank and Fashion seemed to flit
in the soft air like tropical butterflies,
attended by men as gay and frivolous as
themselves.
To the eye that goes no deeper titan
the surface it would have appeared as a
City of Love, Laughter, and Luxury; but
juet beneath the earface--ao close, indeed,
that every now and then it cropped up,
like an: ugly stain in the crimson len
dor--lay the poverty which has made Lon-
don a byword amongst her sister cities.
But "that splendid force," the well -drilled
and aofui alice kept the pauper and
the criminal well in Maud; and he pageau-
try of rank and riches rolled on unae.
lamed and unafraid. though of necessity
it came in suet close contact with Lazar-
us in all hie rage that sometimes the
flutter of those same rags, as he shivered
iu hie hunger and hie cold, stirred and
mingled with the perfumed atmosphere
which, like a halo, surroundedmyLords
and my Ladies as, laughing an chatting,
they drove to reception or eoncert, to
dinner or to dance.
Above St. Stephen's tower was burning
the light which proclaimed the important
--and, alas! the often unimportant -fact
that the House was sitting, and that
legislators, representatives of the People,
were Passing laws, or squabbling over
some personality wheal should make the
meriting papers interesting.
The Tories were in by a large majority,
and on the Milnisterial side of the House
they lounged and lolled in indolent indif-
ferenee, too secure to be exultant--juet as
the Liberals would have lolled if they had
been the victorious party.
There were very .few men on the Liberal
benches, for the Tories were so strong
that the Opposition, badly beaten at the
pons, had seareely strength enough, to
show flight; and most of them were scat•
tered about the House, in the smoking -
roam, the library, the lobbies;` and of
Front Bench men only the Liberal leader,
Mr. Graham, sat in his place, hia lips
eompreesed, his arms folded, the heavy
lids drooping over the eyes which, when
those lids were raised, had the keenness
and something of the ferocity of the eagle,
The House -perhaps the worst -ventilat-
ed building in Europe -was warm and
muggy, the air seemed to hang in heavy
folds; a great many of the members
slept, and some snored. Even those who
were awake appeared to take no interest
in the proceedings• and yet one would
have thought that the subject of the de-
bate would have been one to rouse the
interest of even the most iethargeo, for
the Commons were discussing a Bill deal-
ing with the lensing of the poor.
It was a measure which the Tories had
Promised at the recent election. Prom -
lees of a similar kind had alsobeen made
by the Liberals; and no doubt both part-
ies honestly intended, according to their
.lights, to fulfil their pledges. Indeed,
this ie a fitting place for the present, writ-
er to remark that, this ie not a, politienl
novel, to disavow any political partiality.
Some one has said, with more or less
truth, that the difference between Conser-
vative and Liberal le only .that which
exists between Tweedledum and Tweedle-
dee; and we will let it go at that.
Both Tweedledum and Tweediedee were
very slack and limp that night, and the
members who were not asleep and who
were listening to the droning of the right
bon. gentleman in charge of the Bill were
only wandering how Boon the Government
would force a division and allow them to
go home to bed and enjoy -on a com-
fortable mattrees-tbe repose which they
bad more or less earned, and vainly
sought on the benches.
The .galleries, as well as the floor of the
House, were' only thinly occupied,and
one figure, that of a tall and distinguish-
ed -looking man, could he plainly seen in
the space allotted to the Deere. He was
Bitting close up to the rails, his chin
resting on his hand, hie eyes, under their
heav - brows,bent absentlyon the speak-
' He was none other tan the famous
statesman, Lord Chesterleigh, the late
Yoreion Minister; and no doubt he was
recalling old times, the days when he had
been a prominent figure ou the floor be-
neath him, rather than listening to the
monotonous singsong in which the Home
Secretary was discussing the Bill° which
was intended to ameliorate the conditions
of many thousands who, not so fortunate
as the foxes in the parable, have no holes
into wbich to crawl o' nights.
The Home Seeretary reached bis pero-
ration --of retiree, amidst the cheers of
his party -and sat down with the eigh of
man whose task is o'er.. Mr. Graham,
wbo had already spoken, raised his lids
.and glanced around Itis sparse foilowing
in search of a speaker, and his eve fell
on a young man wbo, a few benches be-
hind hint. was leaning forward as if to
attract his attention. Mr. Graham nod-
ded. the young man arose, caught the
Sneaker's eye, and began to arldrees the
house.
Novy, this young than was one of those
trite.. when they speak, rarely fail to
aronse attention- For one thing, he was
en extremely good-looking man: tall and
etrmmg of frame. with a clear-cut, close -
shaven face, and Berk grey eyes, which
moved over the reoumbent figures "of his
fellow -members with a calm and some-
what masterful gaze• -a gaze which, aided
by his voice, low but perfectly clear in
done, seemed to hypnotize the House, for
they who were awake regarded hint with
interest, and not a few of the sleepers
etirred uneasily and opened their eyes to
gaze also.
For a eentenee or two the young man
spoke slowly. hut presently the words
came more quickly. Soreething,. he said
in that low, deeply musical voice, struck
the lolling, indolent crowd like the flick
of a whip, and cheers rose from the mem-
bers of his own party behind bine cheers
led by Mr. Graham, his leader. Lord
Chesterleigh dropped his 'hand from his
chin and leant forward. roused from hia
reverie, Some one stepped up behind him
-a fellew-peer, who, like bimself, had
looked in at the "old shop" for bail an
)tour
"Who is it. Standen?" he asked, scarce,
ly turning his head. .
Le,rd. Standen put up his eyeglass, "I
.don't know --yes, I do! That's Clive Her.
vey, who sits for Brimfield. Gad! the
young fellow can speak. He's wakened
the other side!. Look at Deverewe's face!"
Mr. Devereux, the Leader of the house
and of the Conservative party, leas lean-
ing forward with a smile on his face, a
aceruful smile; but his lips were tightly
compressed, and there was an elert look
in his usually sleepy eyes.

Lord Chesterleigh leant back and drew
a sharp breath.
""That was fine!!" he eaid. "A born

Here's the division. By George! they've

The two men descended from he gal-
lery, The corridors and the lobbies were
filling with men polu•ing out of the Ileum.
Mr. Graham's tall figure towered above
them. Beside him walked the young man,
Clive Harvey, the hero of the evening. Ile
was pale now, but he bore huneel.t mod.
estly, and responded calmly hut pieasant-
ly to the congratulartione which were still
pouringin ,on.him, and, strange to say,
from his opponents as well ie his own
party. Mr. Graham saw Lord Chester-
leigh, and, with hie hand upon Clive Hars
vey's arm, made his way to the two peers.
Chesterleigh, Stenion, I want to in-
troduce my friend, Mr. Harvey, to you,"
h0 eaid, with the smile 'whish had often
soothed a stormy House and turned up-
roar to peace,
The three men shook hands, and all
four walked into Palace Yard. As they
stood talking over the debate to which
Clive Harvey had given so dramatic a
finish, a beautifully -appointed carriage,
with a pair of splendid horses, drove into
the yard and stopped, beside them. Its
only ocoupant was a young girl. She
was very beautiful, fair, with a mese of
light golden hair, with hazel eyes, and a
complexion almost worthy of the word
perfect. The face was a trifle haughty
for so young a girl -she had only just
been presented -and both the hazel eyes
and the well -shaped lips were spoiled by
an expression of pride and coldness; and
as she save Lord Chesterleigh, the voice
with which she said, "Father!" was
marred in its mesio by the hauteur in-'
dicated by the carriage of her figure 'end
the turn of her head,'
Lord Chesterleigh raised his hat. "Com-
ing, Edith!" lie said, with a smile of par-
ental fondness. Then he turned to Olive
Harvey and said, "I want to introduce you
to my daughter. Edith, this is Mr. Har
Bey a son of my old friend, Lord Rafhor-
ough. He has just made a wonderful
speech, a speech that has pretty consid
erably cut down the Government major-
ity. You would like to congratulate him-"
Clive Harvey approached the carriage,
Lady Edith bowed rather coldly, then, as,
Clive turned slightly, eo that ,the light
from one of the electric lamps fell ou his
face, her manner changed. She leant for-
ward, and, with her proud facie softening
with a smile, held out her hand,
"Of course I congratulate you, Mr. Iar-
vey," she said. :'I am sure it must have
been a very ,great success, because my
father looks so pleased and so happy. It
is the first time I have seen him smile
since our side was turned out. X not only
congratulate you. but X thank you."
Lord. Chesterleigh laughed. `You must
give my daughter a better opportunity
than this forthanking you, Mr. Harvey.',
Lady Edith took the hint quickly. "Wed-
nesday is my day, Mr. Harvey, she said,
"and Wednesday is to -morrow."
"Thank you," said Clive Harvey, speak.
hie for the first time.
The girl smiled on him. as if she had
found his voice as much to her liking
as hie face. With a hearty shake of
Olive's hand Lord Chesterleigh got into
the carriage, and it drove oft. Clive put on
his hat, and followed it on its way out of
Palace Yard. There was a crowd of other
carriages,
and the Cheaterloi h's had to
atop just outside the gate, so that the
young man came up with it. Ars he raised
his hat in response to the girl's• emile and
a little gesture of impatience, some one
brushed against him, and a woman step-
ped in front of him. She was a middle-
aged woman, dark, and flushed of face;
her red and over -full lips were parted,
and her eyes -they were almost hlaek-
were fixed angrily and threateningly on
Lord. Chesterleigh.
Clive noticed that the woman'e teeth
were clenched, and that her bo,sozn was
heaving as if with excitement, and an in-
stant afterwards he saw her raise her
hand -it, seemed to . him as if to throve
something at Lord Chesterleigh. Instinc-
tively. mechanically, he caught the up.
raised arm, and held it motionless. At
the same moment the carriage drove on.
With, a gasp of rage and disappointment
the woman turned upon Clive andstruck
at him with her free hand. Clive released
her arm, but let his hand slide down to
hers, and, holding it 'Jamie, drew her out
of the crowd.
"What is .the matter?" he demanded.
"What were you going to de?" •
The whole incident, the woman's ap-
proach to the carriage, and her threaten-
ins' gesture, had only occupied a moment
or two, and no one but Clive had noticed
them, for the crowd was thick. Lads-

LEARN TO "TRINE.
Most of Us Are Asleep as to a Large
Part. of Our Ability.
A fault with most of .us is that
we never learn to think, Thousands
of men, _ lacking a good education,
practically throw away precious
hours because' they never learn to
think. Systematic .thinking is the
best possible discipline. Happy is
the youth that hasformed: the fixed
habit of self-improvement, that is
always trying toni,ake, himseif a
little better prepared, for' his op-
portunity when it' comes. Tell me
how a young man uses his little
ragged edges of time after his d'ay's
work is done,, and 'what he . is .re-
volving
re -volving in his mind at every oppor-
tunity, and I will tell you what that
young man's futurewill be, says a
writer.
Thousands of persons have, in
their spare moments, through sys-
tematic
ys-tematic courses of reading and
study furnished by some of our
splendid correspondence schools
obtained .a better education than
have manythat have gone -through
h
col lege.
The trouble with young people is
not that they do not possess success,
qualities, but that in most of them.
the qualities are latent,. inactive.
There is now and then a man that
gets thoroughly aroused. We 'de-
velop only a small percentage of

Why Spraying In NCCCSSar"7,
Past and gone are those days..
when large ores of perfect #reit,
uninjured by ourculio; codling moth
or scab, could be harvested with-
out thought of .sprays and spray
pumps, of lead arsenate or pares
green, of .lime -sulphur' and hord-
eaux mixture, and of other treat
ments for the •troiibles which con-
test the modern fruit grower's sue -
.cess, writes Mr. J. G, Sanders.
In the early days, young orchards
required Birt little ea -re after plant-
ing, other than occasional cultiva-
tion, until in due time the perfect,
unblemished fruit was: gathered. .A
gradual change has taken place
with the 'introduction and dissem-
ination of new insect pests and
plant diseases, until now spray ap-
paratus and materials are abso-
lutely necessary.
These changing conditions ,have,
taughtus astrong tron lesson of the pos-t
sibilty of even more dicastnous in-
troduction of pests, There are still
many serious pests in foreign lands
which have not become established
in our co, but douwill
be sooner oruntrylater if systems of
rigid inspection of imported plant
material are not soon inaugurated.
An insect or disease 'which is unim-
portant in its native land, may be-
come a serious menace when placed
under new eonditions and environ-
ment, where climate is favorable'
and natural enemies are lacking.
The awakening of the entomolo-
gists and the public in general to
the danger .of introducing serious
insect pests and fungus diseases
was caused more largely by the in-
troduction of San Jose scale than
any other one factor. No other in-
sect has caused so much 'expense
and legislation as the San Jose
scale (a ,harmless insect in its na-
tive home in central China), which
infests a wide range of fruit trees
as well as many ornaments, If
there had been no inspection ser-
vice during the last fifteen or more
years, this pest would now be found
in every county and township
in Canada where deciduous trees
are growing. The damage caused
by this tiny insect was early recog-
nized by entomologists and means
were sought to prevent its spread.
But before adequate means of con-
trol were discovered it had gained
a foothold in many sections of some
of the country, and in spite
of all precautions has gradually
spread.
What is true of fruit trees is also
true of shade trees. Take, for in-
stance, the injury to our beautiful
birch trees by insects. Such a gen-
eral
eneral destruction of birch trees in
ornamental planting has occurred
in the last four or five .years
throughout some sections that the
attention of a great many people
has been attracted to the loss. Sev-
eral theories have " been advanced
for the gradual dying of the birch
trees, but the real cause is the
bronze colored beetle.
The small white larva of the
bronze birch -borer burrows just be-
neath the bark, eating
RS
way
ir-
regularly
around the trunk and
limbs of the tree in the sap -bearing
layers, leaving winding galleries of
castings and cutting off the flow of
sap beyond the point attacked. On
the younger branches these' wind-
ing galleries are .revealed by the
corresponding ridges on the exter-
ior of the limb.
vele edecivate remedy has been
found to combat this pest, although
a heavy coating of whitewash ap-
plied in spring before egg laying
begins might prove a valuable
check. It is always advisable to
cut out and burn all infested limbs'
very early each year before the
adults emerge.
Until this serious infestation
passes over, it is not advisable to
plant any birches, for, loss of the
tree is almost sure to result.

SECRETS OF CHEMISTRY.
Opportunities for Achieving Fame
of Fortune, or Both.
It was announced ,.a few weeks
ago that a distinguished chemist of
the Imperial Technical School of`
Moscow had solved the problem of
making artificial rubber,' and that
he could aol1 the new product ab
about is. 4d, a pound, says London
Tit -Bits,
Yet, in spite of this widely dis-
semnated piece of news, the price
of rubber remains pretty much the
same. The reason, may be found by
examining the patent office records.
During the last ten or twelve years
nearly 300 patents for artificial rub-
ber have been -taken out,
Substitutes have been -Made from
petroleum, from coal tar, turpen-
tine, peat, from nitrated .linseed
oil, and by treating cereals with
pliyalin.
Tho latter invention made a oon-
siderable sensation so long ago as
1906; yet, judging by the constart;tly
increasing demand for the natural
product, it has had little effect upon
the real rubber market.
The chemist., working in his la-
boratory can take any substance
and analyze it—that is, 'break it up
into its original constituents. and
tell you what they are, and how
much of each element the sub-
stance in question is eomposed of,
But -when it comes to building tip
the original substaaioe out of its
prime ` constituents, there he ,is at
sea. By dint of long and patient
experiments, or perhaps by pure
chance, he may succeed in repro-
ducing some few natural products,
but that is, as far as he can go.
Indigo dye took many years to
synthesize. A German chemist ac-
cemplished it at last, but the curi-
ous discovery was made that,. if
blended with the natural product
made from the indigo plant, the
color produced was both more dur-
able and brighter than that made.,
by either dye alone,. So artificial
indigo has not yet ruined the indigo

Most people believe this swinging
of the arms as they walk is merely,
amotion, oa
a natural swaying g mot on, used.
by the movement of the body just
as the tassel of ,an umbrella will
swing when one is walking with it,{
but this is by no sheens the reason.'
The swinging of the arms is natural
enough, but the nature of it dates
away back to those unknown days
when man was a, quadruped..
Of course, when Tuan was a: four -•i
footed animal he, walked with his
"aria" as Well as his legs,. and
even to -day after the thousands
upon thousands of generations
have passed since he asstmecl'
upright position, every tiane
take's a step his arm moves a trifle,
involuntarily, as though desirous of
taking a step in its turn just as it
did when a man, then four -footed,.
pranced up and down the. earth:
Many persons can move ,their:
ears a trifle, many can. move their,
scalps, and there is an abundance,
of hair scattered about our arms
and legs, now useless, but still the"
remains of the abundant coating of
hair that once kept our anthropoid
ancestors warm.
Primroses For Failing Memory.
The primrose of old was credited
with a medicinal as well as a super-
stitious value. .Even now in some
eountry parts a decoction of prim-
rose leaves is supposed to restore a
failing memory, and in 1654, when
Culpeper wrote his "London Dis-
pensatory," 'the primrose was re-
garded as an almost universal pan-
acea, curing "convulsions, falling
sickness, palsies, etc.," an
strengthening "the brain, Qns.
and memory exceedingly." httd
even the healthy did not di "''.in
eat it, for primrose pastry = • on
a popular Lancashire delicacy.
