On Saturday, November 10, the
Marquis was summoned to the Ga-
lerie des Cerfs, a long and gloomy
apartment of the palace. He enter-
ed, bowing and smiling in his ae-
eustomed manner. The Queen was
there with Father le Bel and three
armed strangers. Christina's lace
was as cold and rigid as marble. As
the Marquis advanced, smirking,
her silence brought terror to his
heart, although he had no inkling of
what was in store. Turning to Fa-
ther le Bel, she said:
"Hand nee those papers."
He produced the letters, whites
had been entrusted to him by the
Queen. She in turn handed them
to the Marquis.
"Do you recognize these 7" she
asked.
There was an icy sweat on the
brow oi the Marquis and his legs
trembled under him.
"I have never seen them before,"
he stammered at last,
"Look again," said the Queen
sternly. Are those not your

He could say no more, Helpless,
speechless, trembling in every limb,
he could only look imploringly at
the mereiless woman. The three

Queen, and turned her back on
him, The three armed men drew
closer. Tho Margins saw that his
hour had come. He had been known
as & man of courage, but in this
exteernity he was si picture of ab-
ject terror. He seized the Queen's
gown and entreated mercy. He
wailed and wept and howled. And
she looked clown alt hen with unfor-
giving eyes and lashed him off with
her riding whip.

Later came her fellow -passenger.

Few people can tell at a glance
whether the moon is waxing or
waning. Here is a whimsical rule
to remember by. It is very simple
to those who know Latin and is not
difficult for those who do not. The
first thing is to notice svbether the
moon is like a D or a C—that it
whether the fun semi -circular curve
is on the right or the left. If the
moon shows a Li that naturally
stands for decresit, "It wanes."
But then comes in the great prin-
ciple "The moon is always deceit-
ful," and one has to understand the
opposite of what the moon says, so
that a moon which shows a D is a
waxing moon, while a waning moon
is like a C.
Those who have to Latin will no
doubt look to see whether the moon
says it is "decreasing," in which
case they will understand than it is
waxing, while a waning moon will
deny that it is "decreasing."

Thousands of Hindus to Come to Canada.
Secret reports that have Teethed the
Department of Immigration at. Ottawa
of a scheme 011 Foot to bring thousands
of Hindus to Canada, bye a direct line of
steamers from Caleutta to Vancouver are
causing the officials considerable concern,
One rumor has it that a co-operative
scheme, embracing one hundred thousand
Hindus, will shortly be launched. Pro -
teats have already been received from the
Pacific Coast, and it is reported that a
special officer will be sent to 001111011 to
make representations to the India Office.
Hitherto it has, been. possible to ere.
vent an index by the order in amnion
which stipulates that immigrants /111109

their birth. Another clause that may be

From Lanclowfu, the militia of
Raise province, comes the report
of a men named Hsi who was ar-
rested last February with two can
fins in Ilia posseesion containing
the remains of near relatives,
around which were packed 4,000
ounces of opium which lie was tak-

It is the custom of the Chinese to
take their dead in huge wooden cof-

The prisoner was tried and sen-
tenced to ten years' imprisonment.
The ease then was referred to the
central government in Pekin, and
the nein was sentenced to death.
The execution has just taken place,
the prisoner being shot instead of
being deca,pitated; as was the prec-
tice in the old days.
In connection with the supeens-
sion of the use of opium news
reaches Pekin from time to time of
some drastic measure which the
government is able to enforce in
spite of the disorganization it is
experiencing as a result of the re-
velation. Reports tell frequently
of fighting between farmers Who
have formed bands and armed
themselves with the object of suc-
cessfully harvesting a crop of
opium.
$25,000 Celebration. -
Sometimes the reports tell of
Christians being made special ob-
jects of attack and even murder be-
cause they oppose the growing of
the peppy. The rile of keeping
hands off the missionary and his
property; however, is still gener-
ally observed, as itwas throughout
the revolution.
Other reports tell of proclama-
tions threatening death for a third
offence in selling or smoking opium.
Still others tell of great stocks of
the drug being burned amid festi-
val celebrations. Some $25,000
worth of confiscated opium went up
in smoke in Tientsin a few weeks
ago while bands played and people
drank tea, and listened to speeches
telling of the harm opium had done
the Chinese.
It is believed by foreigners and
'Chinese alike that such drastic
measures would not be possible at
this period of reconstruction if the
f eeling of the nation were not in
favor of the reform.
The restriction of the importa-
tion and growth has caused the
value of opium in China to be en-
ormouslyenhanced. Those who per-
