Inevitable.BRITAIN’S ANSWER TO KRUGER’S ULTIMATUM BRITISH TROOPS HURRYING TO THE FRONT.London, Oct.13.—The following is the text of the British reply to the Boer ultimatum :— “ Chamberlain to Milner, high commissioner.Sent 10.45 P- m » Oct.10, 1899.Her Majesty’s Government have received with great regret the peremptory demands of the South African Republic, conveyed in your telegram of October 9.You will inform the government of the South African Republic in reply that the conditions demanded by the Government of the South African Republic are such as Her Majesty’s Government deem it impossible to discuss.” Cape Town, October 13.—The reply of the Imperial Government to the Transvaal ultimatum is published today.It was accompanied by instructions to Mr.Conyngham Greene, British diplomatic agent at Pretoria, to ask for his passports.The reply was read by a magistrate at the evening parade of the town guard here, and evoked loyal and enthusiastic demon strations.A panic has broken out at Vryburg, and a hurried exodus has bgun, ow ing to the refugees from the Transvaal declaring that a large force of Boers was advancing on the town.The rumour that Newcastle has been occu pied by the Boers is without confirmation .BRITISH AGENT REPORT ED ASSASSINATED.London, October 12.—It is rumoured that Mr.Conyham Greene, the British Diplomatic Agent at Pretoria, has been assassinated there.KIMBERLEY IS SAFE.Kimberley, Oct 12.—The authorities of Mafeking are hourly expecting an attack, in which event the wires between Mafeking and Kimberley will be cut and information cut off.The latest information regarding the number of burghers assembled along the Kimberley border is that it does not exceed 3,500.The Boers have only field guns.A successful attack upon Kimberley is therefore considered impossible.Mafeking, Oct.12 .—Half a battery of artillery from Kimberley has just arrived.No one is allowed to leave either by road or rail without special permission, which is not granted to any able-bodied male.Nearly all the women and children have left.Confidence in their ability to repulse the Boers is increasing among the British London, Oct.12.—A special despatch from Ladysmith, Natal, says that the Boers occupied Laing’s Neck the moment the ultimatum expired and are now pouring into Natal.Ingogo Heights have been occupied.London, October 12.—A despatch to the Daily Telegraph from Ladysmith, dated Wednesday, alone among the specials received, declares that war has been begun by the Boers in Natal.The correspondent says: “Free State burghers have secured a train at Ladysmith which was the property of ^he Natal"Govern-ment.Last night a mounted patrol was stoned by Boers.The men’s orders were not to fire unless they were fired In Styles and Prices Onr long experience in the Furniture trade gives us the advantage to know how to buy and select stock that suites the People.STEEL & BRUNET, J.H.BRENT, Manager, THE-UP-TO-DATE HOUSE FURNISHERS.77

gone.The Winter Garments are now charged with the same “marked down” orders to leave our premises.Those who have any ambition about them to save money on Clothing will do well to charge their memory with our name.SIQ.N OF THE Q-LOBE.J.LEVINSON, 163 Wellington Street London, October 12.—The stolidity, if not the placidity, of the English charact er was never better exemplified than it was in London last night, with England face to face with war.Although it was only 5.30 o’clock when Mr.Chamberlain’s secretary handed to a representative of the Associated Press the first copy of the Transvaal ultimatum, an hour later every evening paper had the news.There was not a trace of the excitement attendant upon the announcement of the result on the night after the first race for the America's cup.It is a fact that the enthusiasm in London signally fails to compare with that shown in the smallest American city upon the announcement of the war with Spain.This must not be interpreted to mean that England is not alive to realities of the situation.The audacity ot the Transvaal’s despatch momentarily stunned the public, and it was only when under the glare of the music hall lights and listen ing to the stirring bars of the national anthem and other patriotic airs that the effect of the momentary rebuff was lost in demonstrations that shook the rafters.At the Alhambra, the first bars of “Rule Britannia” brought the entire auiience to its feet, and for a quarter of an hour the house resounded with the choruses of of the national airs and with cheers.The Army and Navy Club, familiarly known as the “Rag” has not for many a day seen such a gathering of campaigners as there was last night.Nor was the slowly aroused enthusiasm confined to the officers.At Wellington Barracks, where a battalion of Grenadiers, which forms a portion of the first army corps, had just returned from sixteen month’s service at Gibraltar, the enthus ia*m knew no bounds.Seldom does Tommy Atkins permit himself the luxury of enthusiasm, but the regiment had a long spell of dreary garrison duty, and hailed the call to active service with scho 1 boy delight.Undernesth *11, however, officers, subalterns and civilians recognised the fact that the Transvaal will not be a picnic, and the sober reality of this gives a stern- I er note to London life than anything that I has occurred since the days of Gordon and Khartoum.RISE IN PRICE OF EKGL'SH WHEAT.London, October 12 - There was a great scene on the floor of the Stock Ex change at 3.10 p m.to-day, the time of the expiration of the period fixed in the Boer ultimatum.The brokers gathered and began singing “God Save the Queen” and “Rule Britannia.” A lage crowd outtide took up the stiains, and singing and cheering spread from point to point in the neighborhood until the whi le district was alive with enthusiasm.A demonstration similar to that wh’eh took place on me fl > *r of the Stock Exchange, occurred at the Baltic, one of the principil produce exchanges, where the Union Jack was unfurled from the ceiling, the members singing Rule Britannia and God Save the Queen.The outbreak of war has sent up the price of English wheat, and on various country markets the farmers heve refused to sell wheat under SO shillings per quarter, in some cases even holding out for a still higher price.CONSUL GENERAL LEAVES ENGLAND.London, October 11 —Mr.Montague White, consul-general of the South Afri can Republic, in London, closed the consulate this afternoon, and immediately left for the continent.Mr.White’s de parture was not attended by any excitement.Before shaking off’ the dust of England, he said to a representative of the Associated Press: “The expected has happened.I only hope the hellishness of this premeditated crushing out of a hardy republic is now apparent.Let me remind England that the onus of war lies not upon those who fire the first shot, but upon those who compel it to be fired.SITUATION VERY CRITICAL.London, Oct.12.— Up to the present hour twelve o’clock no despatches have arrived from the Cape timed since the expiration of the ultimatum; so it is not yet known whether the first shot has been fired.A telegram from Pretoria timed 7.30 yesterday evening says: “The situation is becoming hourly more critical.Numerous Americans, Germans, Frenchmen, .Swedes, Belgians, Norwegians, Danes, Italians, Dutchmen, Swiss and Cape Afrikanders, have gone to the border to fight for the Transvaal, although they are not burghers, while many British residents also have taken the oath of allegiance.The hope is expressed by many that war will yet he averted.” Nothing since this has been received from Pretoria, and doubtless telegraphic communication with the Cape is now cut.BULLER’S ARMY CORPS.Great preparations are being made at Southampton for the departure on Satur day of Gen.Sir Redvers Buller, and a great demonstration is anticipated.The Duke of Connaught, the Duke of York, Lord Landsdowne, General Lord Wolse ley and General Sir Evelyn Wood are expected to accompany him io Southampton from London.It is announced thit the fleet of transports conveying Gen.Sir Redvers Buller’s army corps will be escorted by warships, while further despatch boats and gunboats will be sent to South African waters.The Government already has expended £0,0u0,000 in naval and military preparations, the orders placed with contractors this week alone amounting to £‘600,000 The authorities, anticipating a serious re duction in the output of the South African coal mines, have ordered 5,000 tons of English steam coal to be sent to the Cape for the use of the warshsps.A despatch from Kimberley says Cecil Rhodes is expected there shortly.BOERS ARE RAPIDLY PREPAR ING Fw>R WAR.Pietermaritzburg,Oct.11.—All concede that active operations are merely a matter of a few days and perhaps of a few hours.The Boers are reinforcing on the borders and becoming more warlike.A considerable section of the Sandspruit force hss approached nearer Utrecht.It is announced thit Gen.Prinsloo has been formally appointed commandant-general of the Orange Free State forces, and has established headquarters at Albertina, and the report gathered currency today that some of his commands had crossed the frontier at Clough Pass, 37 miles south-east from Newcastle.At Ladysmith the garrison was reinforced yesterday by the Gordon Highlanders and a new contingent of the Indian troops, and the authorities are now confident of their ability to deal out an unpleasant surprise to the Boers in the event of an attempt to rush the position.At Dundee there are about 6,000 men.This force should be sufficient to stem a Boer advance by way of Zululand and to maintain the line of communication with the base at Pietermaritzburg,headijuarters of Gen.Sir.Geo.Stewart White.On the Bechuland border the situation seems to give the Boers a temporary advantage.There is considerable anxiety in the districts of Vryburg and Marking although it is hoped that the reinforcements recently despatched there will be sufficient to protect the town of Kimberley.THREE THOUSAND VOLUNTEERS.The Governor of Natal, Sir Walter Francis Healey Hutchinson, with Gen.Sir George White, and Gen.Symons, received a deputation of Outlanders, who offered to enrol 3,000 volunteers among the refugees.The authorities promised to assist the undertaking.London, Oct, 11.—The military authorities in South Africa have instituted a censorship over all telegrams, in order to prevent information regarding British movements from reaching the Boers.WILL LOOK AFTER BRITISH INTERESTS.London, Oct.12.—The Colonial Office announces officially that Mr.Macrum, the United States consul in Pretoria, with the consent of his government, has taken charge of the British interests in the Transvaal.BRITISH TRAIN BLOWN UP.Cape Town, October 13.—A British armoured train from Mafe king was blown up last night by the Boers at Vryburg.Canada Will Send a Force.WILL SAIL FROM MONTREAL Bb FORE END OF MONTH.Ottawa, Oct., 11.—Last night’s war news makes it almost certain that the militia ' f the Domit ion will be called 1 upon by the Ottawa Government to fuanish a contingent for service in the Transvaal.The Imperial authorities have all along known that the government of Canada will gladly furnish a force for service in South Africa.It was at the request of the British Government that the Canadian administration refrained from making any public announcement as to its intentions in the event of certain things happening, but nevertheless the War Office, well knew from despatches s* nt by our government that we were ready.The hope that war would be averted had mainly to do with the attitude of the home authorities, but a despatch received at the Military Dopratment early yesterday morning makes it clear that the Imperal Government has no hopes of pe ce The cablegram which w»s d rec ed to the Minister of Militia, is of cours3 in cipher.It asks how many units of 125 officers and men each Canada c*n furnish for service in the impending struggle.The War Office has evidently decided that the aid of Canadian artillery will not be neccesary, for the units are to be of cavalry, infantry and mounted infantry.Great Britain will pay the < tficers and men from the time they muster and will after the war give them the same pension paid to the British soldiers.In the event of any of the Canadian contingent being killed or dying on service, the usual pension will be paid dependents.The Canadian G jvernmem will only be asked to land the men in Natal or perhaps at De'agna Bay if the rumoured secret agreement for the purcbaie of Portuguese East Africa be carried out.After the war the contingent will be returned at the expense of the British Government.UNITS WANTED The various Canadian units will not be brigaded together hut will be attached to the Imperial corps.The project advanced by certain Canadian officers for a separate Canadian contingent making an independent force commanded by a Canadian officer, will not be carried out.The highest rank fo ba held by any of the Canadi* n officers will he that of major, the command of the various regiments to which the units will be j fined will be vested in officers of the Imperial army.As to the number of units 125 strong, which Canada can furnish, the Militia Department is making enquiries by telegraph No who is not in the best physical condition will be accepted.The men offered by th‘ ir commanding officers will he put through as thorough a medical examination as can be divise.The examinirg physicians will be instructed to be careful to detect all cases of shortsightedness, varicose veins, malformation of the foot, ankle, and instep that might inteslere with marching, and tendencies to lung and heart troublas.All men suffering from these disqualification will be immediately rejected.A high officer of the Militia Department stated last evening that the department was certain that two thousand officers and men possessing the best physical qualifications could he enrolled and despatched to South Africa by Oct 31, which is the date mentioned by the War Office authorities as the latest at which the Canadian contingent will be acceptable.CANADIANS ARE READY.Last night Lieut-Col.Pinault, Deputy Minister of Militia, telegraphed the W.E.Sanford Co., of Hamilton, the contractors for militia clothing, ordering them to cease making artillery uniforms and instructing them to turn out with all speed two thousand pairs of inf*nti> trousers and two thousand tunics.T i would uniform a thousand men, so this fairly certain that the go vein men.w* send no less than a thousand of a contingent.The anxiety of Canadians to fight for the Empire is not confined to those who have remained within fhe borders of our own country.The militia Department has received offers ot enlistment from former Canadian soldi»-™ now living in New York, Boston, Dakota, St.Paul, Chicago, Bt.Louis, LoufsviHe and many other American citiua.Opo man, an ex-Royal Grenadier, wr'*es b rn the city of Mexico offering to iep< rt in Ottawa whenever his services are necessary, and offers to bring with him four other Canadians, formerly militia men, the whole party being willing to pay their expenses to the Capital.CABINET SUMMONED.Sir Wilfrid Laurier will be in Ottawa on Thursday and at the cabinent meeting which will he held on that day the Minister of Militia will present a statement as to the numeric*! strength of the available officers and men Fe«ms probable, hostilities have then moblization will be immediately common-ced and so thorough, although quietly,has the Militia Department been working that it is not exacted that it will take more than ten days before the whole f >rce will be mustered, fully armoured and equipped, and ready to step on board the transport which the Govcrr iert of Canada will chsrtei.The ?rav >rt will sail from Montreal, if the war be not averted, about Oct., 22 or 23.OFFICERS POURING IN.Owen Sound, Ont, Oct.11.—Co* der-able interest is being evinced b) the member* of the

CASE.Didn’t Walk for 5 Months.Doctors said Locomotor Ataxia.Wilburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills Cure a Disease hitherto regarded as Incurable.The case of Mr.G.O.Archibald, of Hopewell Cape, N.B., (a cut of whom appears below), is one of the severest and most intractable that has ever been -a'm reported from the eastern provinces, and his cure by Milbum’s Heart and Nerve Pills the more remarkable from the fact that he was given up as incurable by worthy and respected physicians.The disease, Locomotor Ataxia, with which Mr.Archibald was afflicted is considered the most obstinate and incurable disease of the nervous system known.When once it starts it gradually but surely progresses, paralyzing the lower extremities and rendering its victim helpless and hopeless, enduring the indescribable agony of seeing himself die by inches.Thai Milbum’s Heart and Nerve Pills can cure thoroughly and completely a disease of such severity ought to encourage those whose disorders are not so serious to try this remedy.The followingis Mr.Archibald’s letter: Messrs.T.Milburn Sc Co.—“ I can assure you that my case was a very severe one, and had it not been for the use of Milburn s Heart and Nerve Pills I do not believe I would be alive to-day.I do not know, exactly, what was the cause of the disease, but it gradually affected my legs, until I was unable to walk hardly any for five months.“ 1 was under the care of Dr.Morse, of Melrose, who said I had Locomotor Ataxia, and gave me up as incurable.“ Dr.Solomon, a well-known physician of Boston, told me that nothing could be done for me.Every one who came to visit me thought 1 never could get better.“ I saw Milburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills advertised and thought I would try them anyway, as they gave more promise of helping me than any thing I knew of.“ If you had seen me when I started taking those wonderful pills—not able to get out of mv room, and saw me now, working hard every day, you wouldn’t know me.“ I am agent for P.O.Vickey, of Augusta Maine, and have sold 300 sub-scril>ers in 80 days and won a fifty dollar prize.“ Nothing else in the world saved me but those pills, and I do not think they have an equal anywhere.“Taj seven boxes I took have restored me the full use of my legs and given me strength and energy and better health than I have enjoyed in a long time.” G.O.Archibald.Hopewell Cape, N.B.In addition to the statement by Mr.Archibald, we have the endorsation of two well-known merchants of Hopewell Cape, N.B., viz.: Messrs.J.E.Dickson and F.J.Brewster, who certify to the genuineness and accuracy of the

interest in the progress of atf nrw in the Transvaal has been considerably augmented this week by the publication of a report to the itt'.ct that the Governuo nt had made an informal offer of in in and money to the imuerial authorities, and that the Home office had accepted the same with every expression of satisfaction.The state-men: turned out to be inaccurate, but it nevertheless served the useful purp >se of demonstrating the widespread enthusiasm with which any such step would be supported.It appears that ‘here is no con stRation el power vuited in the Govern ment by which they could make any suck offer.As Sir Wilfrid Laurier has very plainly put it, under the laws of Caiada our militia is enrolled solely for the defence of Canada.It does not follow that they cannot leave the country, for at times it is better to meet a threatening foe before he can reach the country that he would invade.Moreover no such offer could be /made without the approval of Parliament for even iu imperial matters, one of the very first steps taken when active operations commence is to summon Parliament that the necessary means may be provided.READY IF NEEDED.As the Premier observed, “there is no doubt as to the attitude of the Government on all questions that mean menace to the British interest, but in in this present case our limitations are very clearly defined, and so it is that we have not offered a Canadian contingent to the Home authorities.The Militia Department duly transmitted individual offers to the Imperial Government but the Government has not discussed the qu» stion of furnishing a contingent for the reasons I have stated, reasons which I think must be easily understood by everyone who understands the constitutional law on the question.” In the face of such a simple and intelligible statement of the case, can anyone imagine more unmitigated twiddle than the following editorial comment in the Ottawa Citizen “dirWilfrid Laurier pledged Canada’s military assistance to the Empire in the event of war.The opportunity has arrived and he repudiates this pledge.This time it is not the Liberal party that is disgraced by a breach of faith it is the whole of the people of Canada.” The writer of that paragraph is either too dense to understand that exceedingly simple proposition or too dishonest to state it fairly to his readers ; I suppose he is at liberty to choose whichever horn of the dilemma he pleases.CLEARLY A MISCONCEPTION.During the recent annual meeting of the Dominion Trades and Labor Congress in Montreal it was stated by delegates from Winnipeg that the western labor market was being overstocked by the great influx of foreigners.This assertion is scarcely borne out by the experience of Mr.Alex.Calder, thd C.P.R.employment sgent, whose head quarters are at Winnipeg.Mr.Odder has been spending the last three months in the States and Eastern Canada engaging as many men as he could get hold of for railway work on the C.P.R and Rainy River roads.All he was able to procure were a hundred and fifty, and he stated to a Winnipeg newspaper as his deliberate opinion tha% “if all the men now on the VVestern prairies working < n f irms, railroads, or at other manual labor remain here this winter, I guarantee that they will not want for work.Never has wages been so high or the work to be done so extensive as it is to-day.” THE INDORSATION OF SUCCESS.This being the case the latest returns of the Immigration Department are of special interest, for they give some idea of the progress that has been made in the all important work of opening up the country by the introduction of new settlers.From the beginning of the year to the end of Aug st the total number of arrivals at Canadian ports who declared their intention of settling in the Domin ion was 26,076, while 2,986 registered in Winnipeg as coming in from the United States.Reckoning 100 as the number registering from the .outh at other points in the Northwest, a total of 30,062 is reached for eight months as compared, with 17,535 for the whole of last year, 21,252 for 1897 and 17 584 for 1896 Of th»s 30,000, and with profound respect I wt u'd particularly call the attention of the Opposition to this fac%—of this 30.000 nearly two-thirds speak English as their mother tongue.With two-thirds speaking English and the remaining third composed of Galicians, Doukhobors, etc., admitted by all who have had a chance to judge by personal observation to be rapidly de\eloping into most useful settlers, it would appear as if the new immigration policy of the present Minister is receiving abundance of that most satisfactory of all indorsations—unqualified success.THE WELSHMEN ARE DELIGHTED The Welsh delegates which I referred to last week have got back to Ottawa, and as I predicted, they apeak with unqualified enthusiasm of what they have seen iu their travels.They will upon their return home talk to their compatriots in terms of warm commendation of the opp trturiities th« Dominion offers to the thntty hard working settler and an appre ciable increase in the already not iocon* siderable number of Welsh emigrants may be looked f >r as a resu’t.An inter esting feature of the Welshman’s report is a request that they should be given a location at some « i tai.ee fr^m oth settlements, in order it is sup^osrd, that they may preserve their own language, but while the Department is quite ready to concede to this request, there is small doubt that the c dot y itself, when it becomes established, will follow the example of nearly every community i foreigners that h's sit led amongst us and seek special facilities for instructing ff»t warehouses.Upon the Govern met t undertaking, however, to have the uiatter thoroughly investigated the bill w«s withdrawn, and subsequently an item was put into the eetimites to defray the expenses of s commission to carry out the t-aid investigation.The personnel of the commis ion has, at the recommendation of the Minister of the Interior, been decided upon ms follows :—Judge Senkkr of St Catherines, chairman : W.K.Sentte M.F.P.» of Glendale ; Charles 0.Ca«tie, of Fexton ; and Wm.L thian, of Pipe stone.A more efficient and représenta tive Commission it would be hard to find; Julge Senkler ranks high among the b«8t of Ontario’s County Judges and his legal knowledge and imp>rti*l judicial mind will ensure fair inquiry.Messrs.Sirette, Castle and Lothian are prominent farmers of the West and enjoy the fullest confidence of the Agricu* u a' community.These men, both from personal experience and practical training have the fullest knowledge of the conditions, and the outcome of their work cannot fail to prove satisfactory, to all rra^onable men.Tfie C •mmission is expected to meet for organ izRion early next week and get to work at once.They will travel through that section of the c >un ry interested in the question, taking evidence and hearing the opinion of all who desire to appear before them.FOURMILLIONS IN TWO M* ‘N Hs An increase of nearly $4,000,000 in two months in the value of the volume of exports is a decidedly gratifying state of affair*, but that is th^ showing made by the trade returns i f the Dominion for July and August.While the improve ment is not confined to anyone branch of trade it is mainly noticeable in the item of “animals and their product»,” which total $11 334,418 as against $7,949,664 or the same months of last year.WAR l’sUoW ON.The ultimatum of President Kruger of the Transvaal to Great Britain demanding a withdrawal of troops in 48 hours and the turning back of reinforcements en route for South Africa, failing to comply with which demand the Boers wou’d invade Natal, came as a surprise to everyone.This throwing down the gauntlet so defiantly has stilled the voice that was raising for peace and united the Empire, of which Canada forms a part, into a determination to teach Oom Paul his place.Great Britain only has asked fair play for her own and other men who have gone to the Transvaal and by their energy and with their money and brains have built up that count-y, but the B )ers with strange perverseness have withheld frm these men the rights of common ctizmship.Now they will have| o abide by the rude arbitrament of war and the result is not difficult to see although it may take some months of campaigning.We belii ve that Canada will not be found wanting in expressing practical sympathy in a legitimate constitutional way with the aims of the Empire.HIGH TREASON.IRISH MEMBERS MAY BE CALLED

them at the preliminary investigation.When he wa-> putting th«R* prisoners in the waggon a man came up to witness and handed him a pocket bok.He did not know the man.Mrs.Knowlden came to hi n about Twenty minutes afterwards and ask-^d him if he bad a pocket book, and he said he had.8he described it and said it contained a twenty-five cent piece f ur coppers and a key.Witness said he guessed it was hers.He did not hear of any othe- arrests that day.The Court adjourned at a quarter to five until ten o’clock this morning.The Court of Queen’s Bench opened at ten o’clock this morning.John Moore, of LLgar, was the first witness examined.He said that he saw the Prisoner Wells run away from the grand stand at the Richmond Fair on 1st September last, and as he ran away he threw a purse away.The purse struck a wagon and witness {licked it up and handed it to Thibet, a policeman.He did not notice the pris >ner Reynolds.Frank Thibeault, who acted a special constable that day, stated that he had just arrested the prisoner Wells when Moore came up to witness aud hanued him a purse.He then handed the purse to Sam Taylor.Several other witnesses are yet to be examined and it is expected that the evidence will be all in this afternoon.STANHOPE FOUND NOT GUILTY The trial of Stanhope for shooting at Sam Wilder on the 15th of September, 1898 closed on Wednesday night.Mr.John Leonard, who appeared for Stanhope made a splendid appeal to the jury as also did Mr.J.Richard in French.The afternoon was taken up with the addresses of the Crown Prosecutors, Me>8rs.J.Broderick and J.E Genest, and Judge Lemieux concluded his addresses in French and English about half past five.The Court was adjourned until eight o’clock, but the jury had not arrived then at a verdict and the opening of the Court was extended until nine o’clock when the iury returned to Court and stated that they had not arrived at a verdict.Judge Lemieux said that they would have to stay in their room over night when the foreman, Mr.H.Morency asked that they be given another hour in which to deliberate which was given them At about ten o’clock the jury again returned, and through their foreman stated that they had found the prisoner “not guilty.” Stanhope was then discharged.NOTICE.The Bon-Ton Special.Sherbrooke’s Busiest Store Business increasing continually.Four extra salespeople throughout the store.New space lately

which is uot always estimated at its true worth—the value of its influence upon the intellectual life of the family.One only needs to go into the family home on the farm where pure bred cattle, horses, sheep or swine are reared to he convinced of the reality and the beneficence of this Influence, said Mrs.Virginia C.Meredith iu a recent addres*.If other proof is needed.It may he had by comparing or con trusting a home on such a farm with one ou the farm devoted to grain farming.It has been said that wheat farming debauches the mentality of the farmer.While this is probably too strong a characterization, yet it graphically suggests the mental vigor promoted by the life on the stock farm.There are some phases of the profession of farming not always well defined in our owu thoughts.It is well worth while to cousider some of these In their relation to the intellectual life of the farm family.For example, the circle of acquaintauce and the associations which inevitably follow one’s Identification with any particular pure breed of live stock will widen the mental horizon; also the range of reading—Imperative If one would keep abreast of the advance being made by all the pure breeds—will Itself strengthen the understanding and broaden the general intelligence.Then, too, the study of nature’s methods, the mysteries of heredity, the Influence of environment, bring one into intimate sympathetic touch with the great forces or hiws that wait upon and reward our intelligence or perchance punish our ignorance.The more than human response in affection and absolute trust which the horse, and even the Southdown, will make to the master’s care teaches the highest lesson concerning our obligation to others.And nil these lessons are so easily, so Imperceptibly, transferred to other planes of life, where they influence conduct and destiny.When one appreciates intelligently and sympathetically the high privilege of controlling the conditions that create vegetable and animal life he may get a glimpse of that perfect love aud perfect justice divinity exercises toward its creatures.If intellectual vigor Is given an outlet on the stock farm, equally true is it that intellectual vigor finds a noble field In the farm home.There have been many definitions of the word “home,” all showing some phase that appeals to the speaker.An inclusive definition is somethnig like this: Home is a place and an opportunity for the complete development of the physical, mental and spiritual natures and in-ferentlally for the same enjoyment of life.The farm honfe offers peculiar opportunities for the development of the physical.This goes without saying.A happy childhood In the open air is the Inheritance of the farm child, aud the force of sunlight, pure air and exercise are well nigh conclusive In determlu* ing physical completeness.The nearest to great forces lu vegetable aud animal life, if at all utilized, must awaken powers of observation and strengthen the Judgment by contemplation of cause and effect—the direct adaptation of means to an end so conclusively taught by the recurring seasons and the continuous round of animate and inanimate life must have Incalculable effect upon the mentality.Sunhonnet For Hornes.An exceedingly unolttrusive storm or sunshade for horses has been designed by Schooler C.Ham of Bladensburg, O.It Is a cup of

necktie, and wide brimmed straw hat.His name was Mr.Hullathorne and he came from Kentucky He ordered the very best goods in the store —velvet at $14 a yard, black silk at $8 a yard, silk lace at $6 a yard.These he ordered to be made into a costume for his wife.It was arranged that Miss Thornton,one of the milliners, should accompany Mr.Hullathorne and wear the costume over to Buff] do to save the old deacon paying duty.At Buffalo he was to meet his wife and only son.When Mr.Hullathorne returned from Montreal the costume was ready— its value was over $4ing with pain of Cutting Teeth send at o «

that have oeen running for six months or more.“Trinity Bells,” by Amelia E.Barr, Is one of these ; otheis are Carolyn Wells’ “8tory of Betty” and Kupert Hughes’ “Doz *n from L ikerim.” These are work of fiction ; but besides these there are in this number several short stories, in which Let and fiction are mysteriously mingled, and others that are founded up jn fa t and built up of the same material 8uch is “The Walking Purchase,” which tells the truth about a deal with the Indians that did no credit to the name of Penn, hy wh se sons it was carried on in a way to swindle the Delewares of two hundred thousand acres of good land ; and such the light of “Searchlights,” a mascot at Manila.“The Southern Cross” is described and diagrammed by Miss Mary Proctor, daughter of the popular astronomer.An October magazine without an aiticle on Admiral D-iwey would seem anomalous, and St.Nicholas pays due tribute to the hero of Manila through the pen of Tudor Jenks.A portrait accompanies this paper ; and almost every article, story, and poem in gthe number is fully illustrated, among the illustrators being Reginald Charles M.Relyea, O.Horford, and Fanny Y.Cory.WHERE THE GREAT ARE.FORESTS A table in science shows that Canada leads all the other countries in the extent of her forests.She possesses 799,230.720 acres of forest covered land, as against 450,000,000 acres in the United States.Russia if credited with 498,240,000 acres, about 48,000,000 more than the United States.India conies next with 140,000,-00 acres, Germany has 34,347,000 acies.France 23,466,450, and the British Islands, only 2 695,000.The table does not include A frica or South America,both of which contain immense forests It may surprise some readers to learn that the percentage of forest covered land is larger in several European countries, Germany for instance, than in the United States.OFFENSIVE EVEN TO MYSELF.WAS MY CATARRH — DR AGNEW’S CATARRHAL POWDER DETHRONED IT AFTER TWENTY YEARS

and Beard a h Work of Art May Easily à Be Made Repulsive.lu the course of my long and eventful career I have the honor of planning various schemes which have taken a conspicuous place In point of audacity In the records of crime, but perhaps in none of these transactions was such audacity more prominent than in the incident of the carrying off of the Apollo statue from the residence of Sir Titus Blaydes, Bart., the statue in question being the work of the famous sculptor Apelles and being valued by experts at $250,000.One evening I was sitting in a restau rant finishing an after dinner cigar when a short, foreign looking man, ex pensively dressed, came and sat down beside me.“Excuse the liberty 1 take in addressing you,” he began courteously, speaking with a strong foreign accent, but In perfect English, “but your fame has Indirectly reached my ears.1 think 1 have the honor of addressing Mr.Godfrey Vince?” “That is my name,” I returned, much amazed.“May I ask what you desire with me?” He came very close and, sinking his voice, said in a whisper, “I want you to carry off for me the Apollo statue from the house of Sir Titus Blaydes at Longwortb Court.” One glance at the card told me all.It bore the name of Count Antonio Delarocca, the famous millionaire collector of the antique, whose gallery at Milan contained priceless glories of ancient masters.“I recognize your name, count, and shall be glad to be of service to you.But may 1 ask what constrained you to fix upon me as the Instrument of your designs?” “1 chanced to be present at your trial over the Wigmore case, when, as you will remember, you escaped with a light sentence, though the evidence showed you to be an artist in crime.1 kept my eye upon you, resolving to offer you this delicate mission directly the government no longer required your services.” “1 shall be delighted to do all in my power for you count, but first of all you must tell me In detail what you require done.” "Most certainly,” he made answer, as he offered me a cigar and relit his own.“During the past four years 1 have made countless offers to Sir Titus Blaydes for his Apollo, the offers being made through secret agents of mine, for naturally the baronet would not part with the statue to & rival collector such as myself.My last offer was no less than $250,000, but this also was unhesitatingly refused.” He paused and blew a great cloud from his cigar.Then he resumed: “I am a man of iron will, and what I set my heart upon 1 always obtain.Sir Titus has proved unamenable to fair means.1 will now assail him with the only alternative—stratagem.Yes, merely stratagem, not robbery, for on the day that you hand over to me the Apollo statue 1 shall forward him anonymously the sum of $250,000.And you, my friend, would receive $25,000.Come, is the bait sufficiently tempting?” Before we parted he gave me his address in Milan, for which place he was leaving on the morrow, and It was to this address that I was to convey tne statue if my efforts proved successful 1 may add that he left with me the sum of $2,500 as a guarantee of good faith.On the following Monday I Journeyed down to Longworth court, and, mingling with the crowd, entered the spacious mansion, I soon gained admittance to the gallery.The more 1 contemplated the business the further and further away did the eouut’s reward seem, and by the time I reached London 1 was in a despairing mood.I retired to bed.resolved to think no more of the matter, though on the following morning I visited two of my oldest chums.Jack Grimes and Tom Harris, and put the ease to them.They #n«M*ivd at the affair, declaring it was Impossible.It therefore came about that the matter passed out of my mind until the end of November, when It was brought back to me in a curious manner.I happened to enter a theater one night where a play was being enacted in which a distracted hairdresser, being pursued by a statue which had been miraculously endowed with life, suddenly conceived the idea of painting her face and dressing her in modern attire, so as to render lier appearance more conventional when she was tracking his stops.An Idea flashed through my brain when I witnessed this incident.I did not wait for the end of the piny, but leaping into a hansom, drove to our den.where, by a lucky chance, I found Grimes and Harris ense/moed in arm chairs and smoking peacefully.They both looked tip quickly, but did not speak.“My plan is this,” 1 went on.rpeak- , Ccok’i Cotton Eoet Compansd Fp fncc**H!sfu!ly monthly by ornr

Titus Blaydes one night an I inform him that we have reason to believe that burglars are In the house “While he is waiting and I am there to keep him company, you two fellows make track for the gallery, and when you get there you proceed to make up the statue In the guise of a modem burglar by means of coat, trouser^, muffler, overcoat, cup, shoes, beard whiskers and grease paint, all of which you can conceal about your ihmsous."Directly the disguise business completed you tire a revolver.Hear ing the report.1 rush up to the gallery with a long face to tell Sir Titus that the burglar, a desperate ruffian, he*» been accidentally shot.You two turn will then carry down the supposed burglar, whose face will be covered with a haudfcercbief.” Grimes drew a long breath.“Well.I’m blowed!” he exclaimed hoarsely, as he knocked the ashes from his clay, “if that ain’t the rummest an the cu* est dodge ns ever I came acrost.Yer ’and.gov’nor, yer ’and.It’s a pleasure to commit a fellerney with a bloke like yer to boss it.” The evening of Dec.1 was a typical foggy night.By the time St.Giles' church struck 12, a cab containitn; Grimes, Harris and myself was on the way to Longworth Court.The dressing of the statue had a I ready been rehearsed a dozen times on a plaster Apollo which I had bought in Euston road, and there was therefore little to fear in the way of a break dow'n unless Sir Titus insisted on n< companying the supposed constables in search of the imaginary burglars.However, In all probability he would do nothing of the sort: at worst, if he did so.we would simply abandon the business and go home.Longworth Court was some 15 miles from London, and it therefore took us the best part of three hours to reach our destination.We alighted at the end of the lain* leading to the mansion, and bade Flow ers.one of my oldest and smartest chums, to wait till he heard our whis tie before driving up to the door.This precaution was taken in case any local police chanced to be hanging about the house while we were engaged inside.We then marched boldly up tin* drive and rang the bell.After an interval of five minutes there was the sound of heavy bolts being drawn, ami the door swung open, disclosing a white haired old man whom I took to be the butler.He gave a cry when th* light from Ids lantern fell on our faces and uniforms.“Calm yourself, my good man.” I said, assuming an official voice.“You have nothing to fear.From information received, we believe that burglars are in the east wing of this house, and we have come to catch them.Arouse your master immediately.” Sir Titus Blaydes, a thin, pinched up little man, appeared quickly.He was evidently quite as seared as his butler, and when we told him our mission he wrung his hands.“Be quick, officers,” he screamed, his face blanching with terror, “and I will wait here in the hall till you return.Stay, inspector.You might stop with me in case the blackguards should come this way.” During their absence Sir Titus, with chattering teeth, conversed with rue, telling me how he had always dreaded such an attack, and now It had come to pass.His reflections were interrupted by a loud report, which rang out sharp and clear through the still house.I darted from the hall and an Instant later returned, with a gloomy mien.“I regret to say, Sir Titus,” 1 cried, “that the man has been shot dead.There was only one of them, but he made terrible resistance, and in the struggle his own weapon went off, the bullet entering his brain.We will take him away at once.” 1 thought my heart would stand still when, after the supposed corpse had been brought toward the door, Sir Titus came forward and exclaimed in a quick, hurried tone: “StopI Set It down.Strangely enough, in all my 38 years, I have never seen a dead man.Let me see the face of this one.” There was nothing to be done but to let the morbid baronet have his way and trust to luck and to the deception of wig, paint and beard.The baronet knelt beside the statue and raised the handkerchief from the blood stained face.Then a look of disgust crossed his patrician features, and he rose, having carefully replaced the handkerchief.“Take It away, officers,” he said.“A more repulsive and ruffianly looking countenance 1 never saw.Crime Is stamped on every feature.” And that was bow the millionaire collector of the antique characterized a statue for which lie had refused $250,-000.—London Tit-Bits.Women'n Shoes and Their Heels.It certainly is a pity that women, with all their neatness and correctness of dress, should be so dreadfully lax about the heels of their shoes.If It is not clearly understood what is meant by this.Just take a look at the heels of the next woman passing.As she raises her skirt daintily to cross the street, there is a swish of silken draperies, a wee bit of bright lined ruffle displayed, and, alas, fwo woefully downtrodden heels.The run down heel in a characteristic of almost every woman—the athletic girl not excepted.They are exceedingly remiss in this direction.When a man's shoes begin to get run down, be immediately bundles them off to the shoemaker, who speedily makes them presentable.Women should take lessons on this score from their brothers, and attend to the “sloppy” shoes without delay.—St.Louis Lost Dispateh.O upta! f'ebility and a “run d' tfu” st i c

she knew that he had married three years after that bitter morning in the rain and had married a wealthy wife.That was the reason that she had thrust him back from her long ago.Just because of his poverty.Not that It would pain her, a thousand times no! Hadn’t she cried out night after night since that starvation with him would be only bliss?But she had known his ambitions and his capabilities; knew his dreams of success, and she realized his ability to turn the dreams to realties.She was poor.Would she permit herself to hang a millstone about his ueck?Would she hold him always in the depths of poverty by being his wife and the mother of his needy children?No; she would hurt his heart before siie would ruin his life.Time had proved that she had been right.His wife was a beautiful woman, and her wealth had opened boundless opportunities to him He had risen— (he had kngwo tjiat he would.Buf ow That stie scarcely w&s able to know herself she would venture Into his world and see for herself how hanpy and prosperous he was.So, having spent all but her last •overeign for her ticket, she stepped Into Langinhara one spring evening, |teellng her heart to what might follow.Ine next evening she had walked past his great house and was starting back when a sudden shower burst unexpectedly upon her.She gathered up her skirts in that particular way so rtinracteiistlc of a dainty woman and was hurrying along when all at once bhe was conscious of a sharp, childish cry at her side.Turning, she beheld a tall, sad faced man trying to quiet n fretful baby of about 2 years, which held out its dimpled hands to her and cried, “Mamma, mammal” The gentleman strove to quiet It, and Gabrielle stu fod on.But sharp and piercing came the cry of “Mam- Flavor, delicions and rielC^ *he finest domestic made cigar, the famous El Presidents, clear long Havana filled, from the host of varions blended brands now on the market.There is a pleasing uniformity of quality found in this cigar is lacking m others.W.R.Wf.bstkr & Co., Cigar Manufacturers, Sherbrooke ma!” and her heart bade her linger.For the first time the man spoke to her.“I must beg your pardon, madam.His mother has just died, and something about you seems to have recalled her to him.” Gabrielle’a heart softened at once.Going straight up, she took the tiny, outstretched hands in her own and murmured.“Poor, motherless little one!” The father held out bis umbrella over her, and for the first time she looked at him.The face was Robert’s.She was glad for the excuse of turning to the baby again and murmured something unintelligible.However, he had not recognized her, so she drew all her strength to her assistance and succeeded in hiding her emotion.“If you will walk under my umbrella.as 1 am going your way, you can keep dry.And, too, 1 fear baby won’t like to part with you now.” There was no easy way to retreat.It would have been absurd to scud off in a changed direction through the pelting rain, so she continued talking hurriedly to the child.As they reached the foot of the broad stone steps she stopped.“I cannot thank you enough for having calmed Leslie.His nurse left this morning, and he will not be consoled by any of the other servants.So 1 finally told Mrs.Clarice, the housekeeper, that 1 would try him for a walk.But will you not take the umbrella?It will be a shame to expose yourself to such a deluge.” She gracefully declined all thanks and such kind offers and glided quickly off, a tall, black vobed figure, daring the watery drops.But a perfect shriek from baby arose when he found himself deserted In this fashion, and each succeeding cry became louder and more distressing.Again Gabrielle could not go.Again she came back to him.“Will you please come Into the house with him?Mrs.Clarke may there be better aide to get him away than I.” So Gabrielle, carrying ids child, Leslie, entered the house, unknown, but welcome even then.Leslies was not to be easily deceived, and all the ruses were seen through immediately by his careful, big blue eyes.“We must get a nursemaid this very night,” declared Mrs.Clarke as she endeavored, in her practical, cold hearted way, to inveigle the young lord from his new “mamma.” “But,” groaned Mr.Courtright, “where can one get one whom he can trust on such very short notice?” A bold idea entered Gabrielle’s head.She tried three or four times to speak and her voice failed.Finally she choked back the lump in her throat and said: “Would it be presumptuous in me to offer myself?I can show you some excellent references, and I am looking for some such position.” “You a nursemaid!” exclaimed Mr.Courtright in amazement.Then, a moment later, he would have given much to have it back unsaid.Her plain, black gown was darned at the elbows.It was merely lier way of wealing it that gave her the appearance of a woman of long founded culture and delicacy.Two years went by, in which Miss Varney, as she was then known, tin discovered, was loved by and loved in return Mr.Courtright’s two children It was one evening in March, just before dusk, when she had left Leslie up stairs asleep and had just come down to the drawing room with Mabel to stay with the child until her father came to dinner.He was late, and Maliel wandered off to the library, thus leaving Gabrielle alone in the dimly lighted room when Mr.Court-right finally entered.“Shall l call Mabel?” she began, starting from her station at the window.“No, Miss Varney, stay.I have something to say to you.You remember bow moved I was the first time Leslie called you ‘mamma?’ You thought then, no doubt, that it was because of the memory of my wife.Partly so, but mostly because 1 thought for au instant that you were the woman who—who might have been his mother, if the fates had been kinder.Do you know, Miss Varney, that you often remind me cruelly of a woman I loved better than the world?” “Your wife?” “No.One 1 loved before I met my wife.Can you, will you, hate me if I ask you thus to be Leslie’s mamma In truth as well as in word?” Moment after moment went by.The shadows came closer and the rim of lighter clouds near the western horizon grew narrower.At last she said: “1, too, loved in the long ago.And I can never In any way love another man.But”— “Miss Varney”— he broke In.“No, let me finish,” she continued.“Take an umbrella and go down to the east gate.Do not ask a question, but take the umbrel]^ and wai{ there.” Then she sped up stairs.He was dazed; maybe that was the reason that he, ns in a dream, did as she had bid and took his station down by the rustic gate, where the softly falling rain dripped through the leaves on to the gravel of the walk.Suddenly Le was conscious of a rustle at his side, and, turning, there stood a tall girl, with a loving smile beaming above the same dark collar, with a sweet face shining from beneath the same velvet bonnet remembered so well from long ago, and an old time voice murmured: “Robert!” “Gabrielle?” he gasped.“Yes,” she laughed.“Gabrielis and your nursemaid in one.” When they walked up to the house that night, she clung lovingly to his arm under the narrow umbrella, for they were strangers no longer.—Exchange.MISSION OF WATERVILLE.WATERVILLB.At St.John’s
