beyond our own Country for Sunday School Helps and illustrated papers, is made evident l y tlie recent issues of the Presbyterian Sabbath School publications now on our table, ami of which Rev.R.Douglas Fraser, M.A., Toronto, is the Editor.The series Lesson Helps, which comprises The Teachers Monthly, Home Study Quarterly, Primary Quarterly and Leaflets corresponding to the Quarterlies, seems quite complete, meeting the needsof teachers and scholars of tiie various grades.The illustrations in Jewels, a paper for the little ones, and The King’s Own, a paper for older scholars, are remarkably good, many of them from original photographs.There is some excellent work in the way of original stories in both of the papers, and the boys and girls are not allowed to forget that Canada is their home and that they belong to the great Empire, whose ships are on every sea and the drum-beat of who*e armies is heard the whole world round.We wish our Presbyterian friends continued success in their work of publication.MAN SOM ILLS.the tir>t ¦nowm ru> i f the «•.son ps^s-•J over thiB vieillit/ «r» Saturdav The Rural Dean Brown returned from Kiog»tou Friday, wher he has Bpent it.e pa t

may !>e much cheaper to raise water to adjacent towers than to catch it in a remote ravine aud pipe it for mile*.However this may be.irrigation undertaking* have been recently established very largely upon wells and pumps or upon flowing ells wherever they could be bad.In California during the last three years there have been perhaps ten mes as many pumping outfit* *et up for irrigation as had been employed during the whole earlier irrigation development of the state.Large Irrigation companies sank groups of wells and puiiqM'd from them into their distributing ditches and flumes when, foi lack of rain, their immense reservoirs went dry.Individual Irrigators sank ells and bought pumping plants when the ditch water failed and have now learned the superiority of the borne supply, to be drawn upon just w an be used to the best advantage, urge region* which had never se cured irrigation systems were forced by drought to seek water, and, having found it below ground in ample quantities, they will not fail in the future to use irrigation as a supplement to the rainfall.Over large areas of the country wind mills are used as motors for Irrigation pumps.They unquestionably serve an excellent purpose, under favorable circumstances, up to the limits of their apacity, but irrigation for fruit growing, except in the family garden or on small areas of small fruits, is proceeding upon the basis of motors of higher efficiency.Gasoline engines are being used even up to a capacity of 5.000 gallons of water per minute, but the ordinary plants are less than one-tenth of that.Crude oil engines are also used, and steam plants using small stationary and portable engines are pressed into service, while electric mo tors along long power circuits from generators at waterfalls or other great sources of power arc being fully em ployed.Instances of the profitable em ploy ment of all these agencies are abundant all through the fruit growing districts of the arid region.Where large streams are adjacent to fruit lands aud diversion at a suffi ciently high level is not practicable ele vatlon by pump to a pro|»ei‘ point for gravity flow or direct application from the discharge pipe of the punp is being largely resorted to.On the river ban! lands in California very large steam and gasoline pumps are use d both for drainage and Irrigation at different seasons of the year, as elth ;r is desii able.Recently capacious pumping plants Installed upon barges have been used for custom pumping, delivering water to riverside orchards.Hydraulic rams are ab»o used to a limited extent where conditions favot them.A very interesting way f >r taking water for irrigation when the river is running high between levels which pro tect reclaimed land is the use of si plions over the crowns of the levees To cut the levee would be dangerous and flood gates are few, but water can be delivered here and there by siphon* ns desired.Made of galvanized iron strong enough to resist the pressure the air is exhausted by a pump, am the water flows over.Some of the si phons are two feet in diameter ami de liver a large stream, though smallei pipes are generally employed.BEST BUY IN R0SSLAND DIRECTLY WEST

sex in van! ty.more than in mind.An elevator attendant not long ago glanced disgust •illy at a man wh') during a long trip up ten or more stories occupied the entire time at the mirror.He curled the ends of his mustache, arranged his tie.aujusted his liât at a more becoming angle and was altogether so absorbed that he was carried beyond his destina tion and had to walk down a flight of stairs.Said the elevator man to a woman In the ear: “They say tiiat n woman can’t go by a looking glass without looking at herself, but as far as 1 can see she ain't in it with the men.A woman never gets a chance to look in that glass, for the men keep it busy all the time.” The man who carries a tiny comb or brush in Ids pocket for use in public places Is by no means exceptional.He may be seen on tbe cable cars, the “L” and in elevators brushing his mustache and eyebrows with as much care as a woman could give to tiie arrangement of her curly front locks blown Into disorder by the wind.Of course neatness s commendable, but there Is always a touch of the ludicrous In a man’s tak ing the little case from his pocket, ex trading tiie comb and coaxing bis hir sute adornments into a more becoming curve.Like a Man.Soon after tiie conscript law was passed by tiie Confederate congress Captain Slack was appointed enrolling officer for the parish of Claiborne, with orders to have Its provisions duly exe cuted.His manner of execution w'as the reverse of that suggested by his name and created a lively sensation among tiie “bond» proofs,” who, find ing tiie pointed arguments of his mus kets irresistible, moved rapidly and In a rigid line toward the front.Not long afte** ids arrival my sister had occasion to visit an old lady whose son was no toriously of tiie peace persuasion.She soon missed Ids familiar presence, ami the following conversation occurred: “Mrs.-, where is John?” “Gone to fight for his country, child.’ ‘‘Indeed.I thought he was one of the exempts.” “Lor*, honey, Cappln Slack don't know no exempts.The other day I see his men a-galiopiu down the road.I hollered to John they w'ar cumin am) told him the chlmbly was a good place ‘Twasn’t no

three special rings for his use.The first is generally rather a plain gold one, with an intagi io or cameo ornament.This is called tbe papal ring.The second one, called the pontifical ring, because used only when tbe pope pontificates or officiates at grand ceremonies, is an exceedingly precious one.The one worn on these occasions by Pius IX was made during the reign of Plus VT I, whose name is cut on the inside.It Is of the purest gold, of remarkably fine workmanship, set with a very large oblong diamond It cost 30,000 francs (£1,250) and has a contrivance on the Inside by which it can be made larger or smaller to fit tbe wearer’s finger.Tiie fisherman's ring, so called he cause it has a figure of St Peter in a bark throwing his net into the sea, is a plain gold ring with an oval face, bear ing tiie name of the reigning popo en graved round and above the figure of the apostle.The ring weighs D/fe ounces.It was first a private and not an official ring, though it has been used in the latter way since the fif teenth century and is now the official seal of the popes and the first among the reigns.The Yaws.On the west coast of Africa the natives call the raspberry a yaw.It happens that one of the pleasing diseases that come out from that quarter of Abe globe is characterized by dusky red spots that appear on the body aud soon grow into ulcers about the size and looks of the raspberry.So this disease Is called the yaws.It Is contagious and downright disagreeable.White sailors bring it back with them to their own discomfort and the disgust of those at home.Yaws prevails also in tbe Fiji Islands and in Samoa, but in these two places children mainly are attacked, and the natives regard the disease In tbe same light as civilized persons look at measles—almost a certainty to have and the sooner over with the better.Not lie.“You have a good deal of assurance to come to me for charity.” said the man of the bouse, “with your face all bunged up from

than “ la grand messe” was taking place on this line Sunday A platform had b< it.built u)joii the lawn ui front of the stately parish church.One could see the hostile phalanxes— one at one side and one at the other—engaged in discussing the plan of campaign, the name of the chairman to be selected, the order of the speakers, the time each was to occupy, aud so on.Off to the right and almost adjoining the church was le presbytère, the parsonage.On the verandah the cure, a tall, gaunt ecclesiastic, and his vicaire, a slim, spiritual young priest, promenaded, occasionally betraying keen interest in the debate as shrieks of applause or laughter greeted one of the speakers.The audience was obviously a bucolic one, though the homespun, or étoffé de pays, in which a few of the older habitants were arrayed, evidently is being discarded by the younger generation in favor of the hand-me-downs from shops in town.Nearly all the men smoked pipes, and the faces, though healthy enough, were sallow, suggesting a strain of Indian—with piercing blaek eyes, easily aroused to a merry twinkle or turned to fierce glances as national pride would be referred to or hurt ORDER OF PROCEEDINGS.Presently the former depute, a tall, handsome man of 40, English by name, but in appearance and deportment, a typical chevalier of the ancient regime, advanced to the front of the platform and proposed the name of the president de rassemblée.The other candidate, a youth, seconded the motion and amid howls of acclamations a rotund, jovial man took the fauteuil, a common w ooden chair, lie poured out for himself a glass of water and announced the order in which the speeches were to be maee.Each side had two hours, and the president timed the several orators carefully.“ M.Blank va vous addresser la parole, ’ shouted the chairman, and the distinguished looking deputy come forward, hat in hand, gracefully bowing in response to the chorus of hurrahs.Hardly had the orator uttered two sentences, bareheaded, before shouts of4 Cou-vereiPvous!” were heard from all parts of the audience.This meant that the listeners bagged the orator to put on his hat.He complied gracefully.The speeches were in French, and although the broadened 44 a’’and other local peculiarities and idioms differentiated the language from that which MarkTwain called “ le belle langue of Fasquelle” they were easily understood, especially when interlarded with Anglicisms, such as 44 fair play,” etc.Most of the orators shouted rather than sooke, working up to an excited climax in nearly every instance, and gesticulating wildly though not ungracefully.Such fluency of diction is rare -a mad rush of words rolling on.Arguments were few—assertions many.One side denounced Seer Wilfrid Laurier— his deeds of omissions and sins of commission.He had betrayed his compatriots, sent the young men off to light the Boers, fed them on worthless emergency rations, had been puffed up with pride during the jubilee in London and had been general! v corrupt, extravagant and unreliable TO THE PREMIER’S DEFENCE.On the other side the Liberal speakers asserted that Laurier had only allowed the young men to go to the war.He could not help it ; the population Anglasis wanted it ; and wnat could he do ?Then followed panegyrics of the great Sear Wilfrid, the greatest statesman Canada had produced, and a greater man than Seer Charles Tupper or Hugh Johnnie Macdonald, avec le grand nez.Twenty years Canada had English premiers four years only a Frenchman.Why not another term of Laurier?Prosperity was everywhere—even le bon Dieu aided Laurier—and so on.Occasional local hits would send his audience into roars of laughter.A French Canadian political meeting means fair play for both sides, and good nature all through it all.A lit le boy obseived, when *f»keJ wbf he reinsined on his knees after he had finished his prayefs, “Well, mother, you know ir sajw in the h)mn, 4 >atan trem hies when he se*

•• was spending more than tbe profits f tbe bouse and was a debtor to an « irinous amount that be set about ;< eparing a grand coup.Tbe Spanish ! < rchautman was loaded with a con nment of gold, silver, copper, furs i id dyestuffs for Spain and tbe cargo n med to tbe last cent.Alvarez took to Ids confidence a young man named l .ado, and when the Santa Maria sail ! his confederate went with her as upei cargo.The ship was manned î y a crew of 14 men.all Spaniards Thirty days after her sailing to the ^ )utliward tbe American bark Home c ard left tbe port of Valparaiso home c ard bound.We bail been out three rays when we ran into a dead calm with tbe weather so terribly hot that he deck planks smoked In tbe sun.As vc lay heaving on tbe ground swell a • mall boat drifted into view.It seem cd to be empty, and it bad been in sight for two hours and was not over • elf a mile away when tbe captain de cided to pick it up.A boat was sent IT.and when she returned with the -tranger we bad n sad spectacle under mjr eyes.There was a dead man lying at full length under the thwarts.ITe bad not perished for lack of food or water, as the boat was well sup plied It was sickness of some sort that had brought bis end.and the hot sun had baked and shriveled ids body until the sight was not one to look at twice.As there was no evidence that i second person had occupied tbe boat, we inclined to tbe belief that a mutinous crew bad sent their captain adrift.There were some who thought he might have been blown off the coast, and yet In that case it did not seem as if the craft would have been stocked with food and water as she was.We gave the corpse burial and hoisted the boat aboard, and two days later I lie puzzle was solved.We bail caught a breeze and made a run of a hundred miles when we sighted a derelict.She was a sq un re rigged ship with all sail taken off her and was driving away broadside to wind and sea.It was plain that she had sprung a leak, but she was by no means waterlogged.We ran down and hailed her.and.getting no answer, the mate was sent to board her.I was one of the crew of ills boat, and the sight we saw ns we climbed over the rail was one never to be forgotten.Five men lay dead on the decks, and tbe corpses were in a far worse state than the one In the t >at.You could tell at n glance that “ bead men were Spaniards, and yet ir bai» Is and faces were as black ai shoe, and the bodies had shrunk V $10,000 WORTH OF PRIZES GIVEN AWAY FREE ' BRIGHT BOYS, GIRLS and LADIES WANTED f.™.Sir Cburtes Tapper, etc., * /e q x u inche*.For • llmitsd time ve are «ellin* ih.-se b*actiful Port»»h« at ioc.each, aad to anyone «eilin* 6 or more, we jive handsome premiumi, »ome of which are illustrated above.36 Valuable Premiums to Select From.Do not delay, send as yonr na^e and address and we will send you a package of these Portraits, and out fall illustrated Sheets of Premiums.Sell the Portraits, return the money and your Prire will he sent yon ABSOLUTELY FREE.We take beck any unsold pictures.This ofier Is genuine and open for a short time only.The ROYAL AC ADKMY FI BLIBRINC CO.Oept.235 Toronto, and shriveled until they were of tbe site hud weight of .1 !»oy In the forecastle aud cabin we found others—euough to make up a crew of 14.There were 14 »b ad men an 1 not a living thing aboard < f the Fauta Marla.Ou the cabin table there were tiie ie-inniu-i of breakfast, aud in the fo**e-t :t le were the kids with foo l si il in tli a Whatever bad occurred was m conjcmtiou with the morning in» .!

but.as I have told you, we found him dead in his boat.How his death came about 1 cannot say.as he had food and water and had not encountered any bad weather.I have always believed, however, that In Ills remorse for the awful deed he had done, coupled with the terrors of his lonely situation, he lellberntely drank of the poison which had laid the others low.It was before the crew became too 111 to move about Mint sail was taken off and she was made snug against the weather.With the auger hole plugged and a part of our crew on board the Santa Maria, we laid our course for the port of Valdivia, and in due time both craft arrived there In good shape he dead had been giv#u burial, of course, but there was no lack of other proofs.As soon a?, the plot was un raveled steps were taken for the nr rest of Alvarez In Mexico, and oui claim for salvage was also filed.Gov ernments move slowly in Internationa matters.It was months before they got ready to arrest the man who had plotted tills sea tragedy He had meanwhile continued his career of dis sipution and extravagance, depending upon his Insurance money to make ev erytblng good.News got to him some how from Valdivia of the derelict be ing towed In.and he left Mexico and hid away In Bolivia.There he was nt last found, but he cheated the hang man by committing suicide.Years later the crew of tbe I^jmcwnrd got few dollars apiece as salvage money The ship herself was lost nt sea with a full crew.You may ask why Prado diil not make a thorough job of scut tllng the Sauta Maria while he was a it.He must have been alone at tin time, except for the dead around him and he had a sharp auger to worl with Had he bored half a dozen holes instead of one the ship would have gone down tie fore being overhauled and In that cas»' we could have made nothing over finding his corpse in the boat.The fact would have been en tcred on tbe log and reported, but would have caused no comment out side of marine circles.Prado was probably In a great hurry to get away from flic deatli ship, and In his haste lie bored only the one hole and then fled In something of a panic.Had he carried his letter away with him would have taken ns longer to unravel the mystery, though the cheat In the cargo must have sooner or later been discovered.As a plot hatched against the Insurance companies It never had an equal, and as a tragedy of the sea one must believe that young Prado was little short of a devil incarnate to coolly sweep aside the 14 human beings who stood in his path.[Copyright, 1900.by C.B.I^wls.l 0«t*s I'l rut ftprrrh.Henry < lay a» a young man was extremely bu*hlul.although he possessed uncommon brightness of Intellect ami fascinating aiklivsm, without effort making the little he knew pass for much more.In the early part of his career he settled in Islington.Va., where he found the society most congenial, though the clients seemed somewhat recalcitrant to the young lawyer, lie joined a debating society at length, l ut for several meetings he remained a silent listener.One evening, after a lengthy debate, th.' subject was being put to a vote, w hen Clay was heard to observe softly to a friend that the matter In question was by no means exhausted.He was at once asked to sjM'ak ami after some hesitation rose to his feet.Finding himself thus unexpectedly confronted by an audience, he was covered with confusion and began, as he had frequently done In Imaginary appeals to the court.'‘Gentlemen of the jury."
