' symptoms of my trouble. I experienced
I I difficulty In going upstairs , my legs
falling to support me. I consulted a
I physician , who Informed me that I had
every symptom of Locomotor Ataxia ,
. but as the case developed he pro-
- flounced it a case of Landry's Paralysis
I and knowing the nature of the disease ,
advised me to start for my home and
I friends. I gave up my work and on
'
April 1st started for London , Ont. A
well-known physician was consulted ,
but I grew rapidly worse and on Saturday -
day , April 7 , several eminent physicians
I held a consultation on my case and informed -
, formed me that I was at death's door ,
having but three to six days to live ,
1 still I lingered on , by this time completely -
ly paralyzed , my hands and feet being
- dead , I could hardly whisper my wants
J and could only swallow liquids , and
death would realy have been a welcome
visitor.
Now comes the part that has as-
I tounded the physicians. Rev. Mr.
Gondy , a clergyman who visited me in
I my last hours , as he supposed , told me
- of the marvelous cures of paralysis
. that had been performed by Dr. Will-
. . lams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I
; - started to take the pills about April 23
and a week after that felt an improve-
xnent in my condition. There was a
warm , tingling sensation in the limbs
, that had been entirely dead and I soon
began to move my feet and hands , the
improvement continued until May 8 ,
' when I was taken out of bed for a drive
c and drove the horse myself. By the
first of July I was able to walk
, upstaith alone and paid a visit to Nia-
¶ s- gara.
, Slowly but surely I gained my old
health and strength leaving Ontario for

of Landry's Paralysis in eight months. "

Wild and Domestic Animals. 4
The question as to what constitutes a
domestic animal and what is meant by'
' the term wild beast is becoming more
and more complicated. For while ,
: on the one hand , the supreme court of
Maryland has decided that the cat is a
wild animal within the meaning of the
\ law , the supreme court of appeal in
Prance has just issued a decree to the
effect that a wild bull is a domestic an-
) imal. This remarkable decision has
I been rendered in connection with the
question as to the illegality of bull-
fighting. which has hitherto been quite
as much of a national pastime in the
south of France as in Snain and Portu-
gal. Inasmuch as the ourt has now ,
once and for all , determined that bull
1 iighting is contrary to law and there-
I are criminal , no one need complain of
this interpretation of the code , except
for the precedent that it affords of
transforming wild beasts into domestic
' pets by legal proceedure instead of by
ordinary methods of taming.

A Hermit's Secret.
Mullica Hill Observer : An under.
taker at Red Key claims that he has
secured a secret from an old hermit
which promises to revolutionize the art
of embalming. He learned it of an
aged man who lived in the mountains
of West Virginia , in alonely cabin , and
residents of the neighborhood believed
him insane and that his house was
haunted. A visit to the hermit's cabin
was paid by the undertaker and a
frIend. The floors of the two lower
rooms of the cabin were carpeted with
the finest rugs made from the skins of
animals and preserved by the hermit.
The rugs consisted of the skins of cats ,
. coons , snakes , frogs , minks , etc. The
skins were perfectly preserved , and
were as natural as if just taken from
the animal. Upstairs were three bodies
which the hermit said. he had obtained
many years ago. They looked as if
death had come but yesterday. The
. - hermit also had bodies of different ani-
inals , all looking as. natural as life.
The , first experiment with the fluid will
be made in a medical college in Baltimore -

Lady Latimer'sEscape. _
BY CHARLOTTE M. BItAEME.
CHAPTEIL XII.
No one but myself knew how I
dreaded that coining New Year for
Lady Latirner. She had left off hating
me now , poor darling ; she told me she
know it had all come about for the
best.
best."You
"You acted rightly , Audrey , " she
said to mc one day , when the dismal
snow was falling , falling as if it never
meant to stop , and there was an unutterable -
utterable stillness over everything
round Lorton's Cray. "Quite right ,
for you are a good woman , and ould
not do otherwise ; but now I love his
memory as I loved him in life. I feel
as if I should almost win heaven if I
could lie by his side in the grave. Ali !
he has no grave ; no- "
She burst into pabsionate weeping ,
and I could say nothing to comfort her ;
the dead man had been the only love
of her life-the only worship that
comes to us all sooner or later. Alas
for those to whom , liIe her , it comes
toolate !
She had been quietly content
to stay at the old house , wrapped
up in .Je1 : 2wii : , prQw : v1
the good she was trying to do to all
around her with her husband's legacy.
She did not know that all heaven , as
it seemed to me , lay at my feet , and I
did not dare to stoop my hand and
pick it up. Lord Latimer found me
alone in the cozy boudoir one dismal
November day , when he came to see
after the business of some of the estate -
tate , and almost before I knew what
he was talking about , he asked me to
be his wife.
My face spoke what my tongue
could not utter , and he caught me in
his arms and kissed me , not once , but
a dozen times.
"I think we have understood each
other all along , " he said. "Look me
in the face and tell me that you will
be my wile , Audrey , my own. "
I did not say it ; I remembered my
mother's words , and hesitated. Presently -
ently I told him what was in my heart ,
and how I could never marry him
without the consent of my parents ,
and I doubted its being given. It was
not for me , Audrey Level , to aspire to
be mistress of Lorton's Cray. Lord
Latimer laughed , and said it .was all
nonsense.
"Your father vill consent , " he said.
"I wifi go to him to-day.andbring you
his permission in an hour. "
But my father refused flatly and Uncompromisingly -
compromisingly , and would give no
reason ; and I went home broken :
hearted after I had seen my lover ride
away , with a dark look of determination -
tion on his face , to ask for an explan-
ation. I knew what my dear mother's
fear had been ; that I should give my
heart away and have nothing in return -
turn , that Lionel Fleming was only
amusing himself by a flirtation with
meshe did not know , dear in other ,
what a loyal heart she was misjudging.
I heard my father's reason and it nearly -
ly broke my heart. Never a rich
man , he had been struggling for years
with the difficulty of making both ends
meet , and the boys had grown daily
more expensive. He had seen a way ,
as he thought , by a safe speculation ,
to almost double his income by risking -
ing his small remaining capital ; he
had risked and lost. Be had nothing
now but his stipend , never enough to
keep us in comfot ; and mother was
going to take in two boarders to spoil
the dear home circle , and the boys
were to be sent out into the world as
they grew old enough to fight the bat-
tie of life for themselves.
I understood the refusal now , and I
could feel with my father in his sorrowful -
rowful pride. We were a proud
race , we Levels , and it would be said
that the vicar had angled for the new
Lord Latimer , and caught him for his
daughter.
Lionel pressed me very hard for the
reason of the refusal ; but I would not
tell him-how could IP-that I was
too poor to come to him even properly -
ly appointed as to outfit , if by any
chance I should be allowed to marry

"I shall be back at the New Year ,
my darling , " he said ; taking me in
I his arms , as if he had never met with
any rebuff , "and you will tell me then
what it all means , and we will get

good could come of them ; so I begged
of Lady Latimer to let me go home for

theho1idaic-it would b3 the last
time we should be together , for the
new state of things waste , begun with
the coming year , and home woild be
home no longer with the strangers in
it and the big boys away.
She had some female friends coming
to her for the holidays-good women
with missions and notions , and I did
not feel at home with them somehow.
She was taking to that sort of thing ,
though she was not half strong-minded
enough. for it ; ad J had very little in
common with the people it brought
me in contact with. There always
seemed so much of self and so little of
Christian charity in their proceedings
that I had no sympathy with them ;
they could do very well withoutme.
And so it came about that I was at
home , very sad and heavy-hearted ;
I but we wcie to have a wonderful New
Year , aiter all. It was a winter of
surprises. On Christmas morning
there came the news , through my
father's lawyers , that the risky speculation -
lation had not been a risk after all ,
but a tremendous success. A check
for a large sum was inclosed , and a
request that at his leisure the Reverend -
end Archibald Level would go to
town and confer with them about the
remainder.
My father accepted it unsuspecting-
ly. I had my doubts as to where the
money came from , but I could not
utter them. I expected I should see
Lionel before long , and I did. I met
him in the lane leading to the vicarage -
age , and lie bent down from his sad-
die , and sairi something about the sil-
vet' lining turning up. I could not
betray him. The revulsion of feeling
after so much relief would have broken -
en my father's heart.
So I was very happy when the last
( lay of the old year dawned bright and
clear , as it had dawned on that day
that seemed in the far past now ,
though it was only three years ago.
The day could never be otherwise than
a sad one for me , I thought ; it will
never be a sad one any more now.
My father had been to London and
learned that , instead of being a ruined
man , as lie believed , he was richer
thanhe had been before ; and I had
won him over to say that perhaps , in
the future , if things went well with
him , he would withdraw the decisive
"No" that had been his answer to
Lord Latimer. I knew what that
meant ; we only had to ask now , and
the permission would be given. Lionel
was coming to the vicarage in the
evening , and then-ah then ! I could
hardly persuaed myself that it was all
real , and that I should not wake from
a blissful dream , and find the two
'oarders pvtding our happy home ,
and the dear boy g iie.
It was growing dark and I was sitting -
ting up in the old nursery , so full of
childish memories of mischief and fun ,
when Millie , a tail slip of a girl now ,
and 4 person of importance in her own
eyes , as the daughter of the house and
mother's right hand , came up with a
mysterious look on her face :
"There's some one asking for you ,
Audrey , dear , " she said.
"For me ! Who is it ? " I said with a
sudden dull at my heart , for I fancied
something must have happened to
Lionel.
"I don't 'know , " she said. "It is
y.il he wants ; I told him father and
mother would not be long before they
came in , but he does not want them. "
"Where is he ? "
"In the hail. "
Millie evidently did not think much
of my mysteriops visitor. I hastened
down , and there , under the lamp ,
stood a tall , white-haired man , rather
shabbily dressed , who turned sharply
as he heard my footsteps , and spoke
in a voice filled with tears , it seemed
to me.
"Miss Level , " he said , "Ihave come
to you for news before I go any further
-I have come straight from the ship.
How is she ? Where is she ? I know'
that he is dead on should not be here.
For heaven's sake , tell .me that she is
alive and well-and free , or I shall go
mad ! "
Who was speaking to me ? What
familiar voice was sounding in my ears ?
Why did the face of this stranger
with the snowy hair take the shape of
that dead man's features , and his
eyes look at me with the eyes of the
man whose anger I braved on that
bitter winter's night ? I stared at him ,
feeling as if I were turning into stone.
"Colonel orthl" I gasped out , "is
it you , or aml going mad ? "
He answered something ; I saw his
lips move , but the floor of the hail
seemed to be rising iip to meet
me , and the walis and the dancing
firelight to be joining in a wild whirl.
I heard a voice say something about
having frightened me , and then the
tall figure vanished in a sort of mist ,
and everything was black around me.
It was in Lionel's arms that I came
back to life ; my head was on his
shoulder , and my mother was standing
by my 'side.
, "Yes , it is true , dear , " she said ,
answering the question my eyes asked.
"The colonel is not dead. He has
come back after almost incredible
hardships and escapes. He did not intend -
tend to frighten you so. "
He came to my side , a wan shadow
of a man , utterly unlike the glorious
specimen of manhood that I remembered -
bered so well , and when r was quite
myself again , he asked me if Lady
Latimer would welcome him.
"I should like to know that she forgives -
gives me , " he said , sadly. "If there
can never be anything more between
us , it would be a comfort to know
that. "
"She will only think of rue as she
remembers me , " he said. "I am a
poor , maimed creature , not fit for a
gentle eye like hers to look at. "
"If there were only enough left ot
you to hold your soul , she would love
ii ou all the same , " I said.
I It was an incautious speech , but it
c was true.
( The story of the colonel's wonderful
- t : l
. _
-
,
escape and the adventures ho went
through afterward , before he could
get away from his captors , is public
property , and need not be repeated
' here ; he had been found alive under
I circumstances that the natives thought
miraculous , and they took possession
of kiln as a sort of diety , an invuiner-
able creature whom nothing could
kill. It was long before he could get
away-he was watched too closely ;
and when he did , it ' was
only to lie ill of fever for many
months in a hospital at Cape Town.
i When ho got. well , lie caine straight
i backto England and to the woman lie
had loved and wronged , hearing in
South Africa of the death of her hus-
band. 2
There is nothing more to tell ; what
should there be ? I finish thisstory on
the eve of two weddings. For some
time past there has been all sorts of
preparation going on in King's Lor-
ton , for everything that we two brides
have , provided that the dear old town
can furnish , has been n'ocured there.
The church is decorated with flowers ,
and the autumn sun shines clear and
bright , for August has come round
again. The year of Lady Lorton's
widowhood is over , and to-morrow
will see her the wife of the only man
who ever had her heart.
And it is my to-morrow. too. I
shall come out of the old church
Lady Latimer. Lionel would take no
more nays , and my father will help
the bishop , who was once his schoolfellow -
fellow and chum , to marry me to the
man of my choice. What has the
future in store forus , I wonder ? Noth-
lug but happiness , if I may trust the
songs of the birds and the sweet
breath of the flowers that COC in to
me through the windows. I must go
home now ; I have plenty to do yet ;
but I had come to ' make a last ar-
rangernent with Lady Latinier-
will be my aunt to-morrow , by the
way-a funny idea-and I have kept
the pony-carriage waiting an iincon-
scionable time. Lionel and Colonel
North are to sleep at the hotel tonight -
night , and will see us no more till we
meet them in all our bravery at the
altai It is time the colonel went. I
can hear his voice singing in the
clrawing-room--ail his sufferings have
not spoiled that.

And the river to the sea.

And like to 111cc. and each to each.

And the memory of the last time I
heard him sing that song is all blotted
out in the joy and happiness of the
present , and the future stretches be-
foi'e us , unbroken by a pain , iinshad
owed by a cloud.THE

"My friend , " said the candidate for
sheriff , drawing a one-eyed stranger
close to his means of livelihood , "do
you want o make $ easy to-night ? "
' 'AJl right.lThen I say in my
speech , 'Is there a man among you
who will deny this statement ? ' you
jump to your feet in the rear of the
hail and shout : 'Yes , sir ; I will. You
are a liar , and I can prove it ! ' and

less. Is it a go ? "
' 'Nope. "
"Why not ? "
4 'I tried the same thing in Wild Cat
Gulch a year ago , and the candidate
jumped on me so hard that the audience -
ence kicked me out of the hail and
rode me out of town on a rail. I
didn't get the five , either. Try it on

my neck with a rope and stretch it. "
And then turning to a young lady lie
inquired : "Do you think it would be

ply.

Philadelphia Record : Enormous
I business has been done lately at French
. fairs by a man who professed to sell a
rat powder that was perfectly harm-
lcsss , and that struck rats dead on the
spot. In order to convince the skeptical -
cal the man , first of all , powered a slice
of bread with the stuff , and ate a piece
of it himself. Then he put the remainder -
der under a glass case , in which a rat
was kept in captivity. The rat went
to eat the bread and instantly fell dead.
At 5 pence a. box the powder went off
like hot rolls , and the lucky proprietor
of the specific was in a fair way to
make a fortune. But the police , who
in France are very active in protecting
people from fraud , looked into the matter -
ter and found that the powder was
nothing but ordinary sugar. They
also discovered that the case was connected -
nected with a powerful electric battery -
tery , and the moment the rat touched
the bread the current was turned on ,
and it was thus his death was brought
about The man was arrested at the
faii of Albia , and he was sentenced to
fifteen days' imprisonment.

Our Duty to Orcece.
In common with all civilized people
we owe an incalculable debt to old
Greece. 'I'o the living Greek we can
make some return in a generous national -
al sympathy. We can lend a hand in
his distress. We can buy silks , finer
than Penelope ever spun. We can
order his marbles , for Drosinos and
Broutos have revived the traditions of
classical. sculpture and Parian and Pen-
telic breathe again. We can travel in
Greece and get a largeryield of felicity
on a given outlay than in any other
country in the world. And we can go
in for the Olympic games next year ,
sure of a royal welcome and laural
crowns. We can give , too , an unstinted -
ed support of our school at Athens.
Then 'we iniirht send a minister to
Greece without requiring him to strad-
die the Balkans and represent us at
rival , if not hostile , courts. lIe must
be a shrewd diplomat who shall gracefully -
fully carry Panhellenism on one shoulder -
der and Panslavism on the other. But
we should first take off our tax on
Greek currants-the one ewe lamb of
Greek revenue. Then we shall have a
better right to chide the Turk for his
blood-tithe of tribute children.-April
