They had been dead only a short time. Wemlnndt is missing, and it is believed he and his wife com- mitted suicide together on ,sooount of their poverty, as Wentlsndt sent 3 note to his pastor this morning saying such was their Intention.

Lee knocked the officer down, but Policeman MoCuen coming ‘0 his rescue Lee was arrested. A crowd of negtoes gathered and became threatening. Tieer fired two shots, almost instantly killing Lee and monaliy wound- ing another negro, George Tine. The mob dispersed, but reassembled around a saloon to which the oflioers had gone, and there negroee were harangniug the others to take revenge, when a Fquad of police men captured the speakers and broke up the throng. A Lexington, Va , deapstoh says : Thin morning, at Buenl.

A New York despatoh of Wednesday says : In the suit of the Union Insurance Company, of Philadelphia, against the Continental Ineuranoe Company. of New York, a verdict was given to-day for the plaintiff for about $77,000. The suit in- cluded 28 causes of nation, and 16 counter claims. The plaintiff based its suit on the fraudulent practices of Lorenzo Dimick, general agent of the defendant company. at Buffalo. Dimiok, who represented eeveml marine insurance companies, vic- timized other companies for the benefit of his own by transferring every risk drawn against the Continental Company to an- other concern as soon as he reeeivtd notice oflose. He was sentenced to five years‘ imprisonment for perjury, but was ad- mitted to bailpending an appeal, uni he fled to St. Catharines. Canada, where he died. There are eight other suite, for sumo aggregating $200,000, against the Conti- nental Company on the same grounds. A Van Horn, Tex, despstoh of last night says : A remarkable cloud-burst on the mountains has stopped traflio temporarily on the Texas Pacific railroad to-day. The noon train out of El Paso, eastward bound, had three coaches, a sleeper, and the special palace oar Ma) flower, containing the Frank Leslie’s Weekly Newspaper party, including Mr. Russell Harrison. It was moving along about 8 o‘clock to-night at high speed, when at this pint it suddenly ran into an enormous flood of water, spread- ing for over eight miles along the valley and inundating the entire town. The train was instantly slowed, but the flood from the mountains increased so rapidly that the ties were washed out from under the track and the train stopped to await :level- opments. The extraordinary nature of the cloud-burst is shown by the fact that fif- teen minutes before the train approached Van Horn the track was perfectly dry. Be- fore this there had been no rain at Van Horn for many months, though there had been occasional small oloud‘bursts. The Leslie party remains on the car as the track is out off from the mainland by the water, the roaring of which can be heard for miles. A Society Belle Charged Wuh Forgery. The wounded were taken tothe Northern Pacific Hospital at Missoula, where every- thing is being done for them. The sleepers were badly smashed. Several of the wounded are dangerously hurt. but physicuns say no more deaths will result. Miss May 0. Carson, Fort Sherman, Idaho, was injured so badly that she died within an hour. Adozen others were in- jured, she most seriously hurt being A. M. Otto, Northern Pacific Express auditor, who had his arms broken and badly bruised; Mrs. G. D. Howe, Faribault, Minn.. legs injured ; Annie Benson, Waterville, Wash. ington, shoulders injured ; James Slocum, Heppner, Oregon, injured in legs and body ; Mrs. James Slocum, arms and shoulders injured ; Mrs. John Lalley, New York, face and head out; Mrs. A.

A Helena, Mont., despsteh says : A serious wreck occurred on the Northern Pacific Road on Tuesday afternoon. No. 1, the Pacific fest train, was nearing Drum- mond, fifty miles west of this city, when two sleepers were thrown down a. thirty’ foot embankment. The passengers of the first our were thrown vbfintly from their seats and huddled into a mass, while those in the second fared but little better. Train Floulâ€"Bonnd by the Wushlng Out of INS.

Pm, deepetch says : This afternoon Jim Thompson, his wife and 14‘ year old girl, Bessie, and Richard Smith and wife and three children started to row across the Youghiegeny River here. The boat was old and rotten, and in the middle of the river it gave way. Both men sank instantly, and Bessie Smith and Annie Thompson followed,nfter 1'18ng three times to cell piteouely to their mothers to save the-m. Robert, an 18 year-old son of Mrs. Thompson, dragged his mother to the boat, and she and her infant child were sup- ported by the boy until help arrived. Mrs. Smith enved herself by clinging to the boat. The bodies of the two men and their daughters were recovered. A yesterday’s New York deapntch says : Mrs. Hieter Loppy, aged 40, was found dead to-night in her apartments on the top floor of No.'227 Christie street. She had been stabbed through the heart with a pair of shears, and her huebnnd Martin is under arrest charged with her murder: A year ago Loppy had a fight with a woman, and was struck on the bend with an iron kettle. He lost the sight of his left eye, and his mind became effected. For the last year he has done no work, and his wife supported him by working in a tailor shop. Loppy drunk heavily. This afternoon I hos. Weir called to see Loppy, but heard the latter and his wife quarrelling and went away. Afterwards he returned, and had to knock ten minutes before being ad- mitted. Weir then sew Mm. Loppy'e body and accused Loppy of killing her. Weir hurried out in the street to get away, and Loppy followed and told a. neighbor that his wile was dsafl. The neighbor called a. policeman, and Loppy and Weir were arrested. A New York despatoh says : A boss truckman. David Dillon, was shot through the heart and killed this evening by Edward Citterton. Citterton claimed the shooting was accidental. He had stepped up to Dillon to prevent him from striking his (Oittertou's) brother Frank. Citterton held a revolver in his hand which had been used in the Fourth celebration, and it went off. Dillon and Frank Citterton were drunk. Edward Citterton was sober. All were young men.

Lutz {our weeks ago threatened to kill his wife, but she drove him swoy,and they did not meet again until this morning. Lutz found his Wife this’morning in bed nursing a. baby 5 days old. There was also present It midwife Lutz at once began calling his wife names, and. upon her refusing to nllow him to kiss the baby, he drew a. revolver and told his wife he was going to kill her. She arose from the bed, claeping the baby over her left breast. The little daughter threw her arms around her mother to protect her. The midwife ran out of the room. Then Lntz fired three shots. Each entered the woman’s body, but she escaped from the room with the baby and reached a neigh- bor‘s apartments. Luiz then fired two shots into his left breast, killing himself instantly.

In later years General Bullet has held various important commands. Sir Bedvers Buller Appointed Adjutantâ€" Genenal of the As my. Lieut.-General Sir Redvers Bullcr. V.C. (who will succeed Lord Wolseley as Adjutant-General of the British army), is best known for the part he took in the Boudan war, when he acted as Lord Wol- seley’s chief of staff. He, however, saw much honorable service before that mem' orable campaign. He was gazetted 2nd lieutenant in 1858, lieutenant in 1862, captain in 1870, major in 1874, lieutenant- colonel in 1878 and colonel in 187“. He is also aide-decamp to the Queen. He was one of General Woleeley’s companions in arms in the Red River expedition, and also accompanied him to Ashantee. He fought valiantly in the Zulu war when Lord Chtlmsford came to grief, and materially aided Lord Wolsaley in the last Egyptian campaign, taking a prominent part in the battles of El Tab and Tamai. On his being appointed chief of staff to Lord Wolseley in the Soudan campaign, a London paper said: “ A tower of strength, a giant in will, and a most careful and astute leader, Redvers Buller has proved his military skill in many a tight for the honor of Old England. This apparently invaluable oommander,a son of whom fair Devon- shire may Well be proud, richly merits the honorable distinction of being General Lord Wolseley‘s Chief of Staff.” or the General, Mr. Archibald Forbes says: “Redvers Bullet has seen more war than any of our soldiers who are not yet veterans. The Red River expedi. tion was not war, but it had its merits as a preparatory lesson. He accompanied Wolseley to Ai-llantee, and soon took his place there as a man who might be trusted to organize, to lead and to fight. In South Africa his name was bracketed with that of Sir Evelyn Wood. Men who were in the field with him in the Zulu campaign will not soon forget what dominance he swayed, what a power he wielded both of restraint and of encouragement over the wild, mixed,irregular horsemen with whom he did service, so constant, so active and so enterprising. General Buller obtained the Victoria Cross for his gallant conduct at the retreat at Inhlobana, on the 28th March, 1879, in having assisted, whilst hotly pursued by Zulus, in rescuing Capt.

Fashionable dress today. the course of reading. plays, music, dances, luscious food, all the elements of our modern life, in a. word. from the pictures on the little boxes of sweetments up to the novel, the tale and the poem cantribute to fan this sensuality into a strong. consuming flame, with the result that sexual vices ‘and dis- easeshuve come to be the normal condiâ€" tions of the period of tender youth. and often continue into the riper age of full- blown manhood. And I am of opinion that this is not right. In the third place, I am of opinion that another consequence of the false light in which “ falling in love ” and what it leads to are viewed in our society is that the birth of children has lost its pristine significance, and that modern marriages are conceived less and less from the point of view of the family. I am of opinion that this is not right. This is my third contention. CHILDREN OVERFED AND SPOILED. In the fourth place, I am of opinion that the children (who in our society are either an obstacle to enjoymentâ€"an unlucky accident as it were) are educated not with a view to the problem which they will be one day called on to face and to solve, but solely with an eye to the pleasure which they may be made to yield to their'parents. The consequence is that the children of human beings are brought up for all the world like the young of animals, the chief care of their parents being not to train them to such work as is worthy of men and women, but to increase their Weight, to add a cubic to their stature, to make them spruce, sleek, Well-fed and comely. They rig them out in all manner of fantas- tic costumes, Wash them, over-feed them and refuse to make them work. If the children of the lower orders differ in this last respect from those of the well-to-do classes, the difference is merely formal; they work from sheer necessity, and not because their parents recognize work as a duty. And in over-fed children as in over- fed animals, sensuality is engendered un- nuturally early. It is high time it ceased. The children of human beings should not be brought up as if they were animals. and we should set up as the object and strive to obtain as the result of our labors something better and nobier than a well-dressed body. This is my fourth contention. LOVE OVERHATED. In the fifth place, I am of opinion that, owing to the exaggerated and erroneous significance attributed by our society to love and to the idealized states that accom- pany and succeed it, the best energies of our men and women are drawn forth and exhausted during the most promising period of life; those of the men in the work of looking for, choosing and winning the most desirable objeets of love, for which purpose lying and fraud are held to be quite excusable; those of the women and girls in alluring men and decoying them into liaisons or marriage by the most question- ablemeane conceivable, as an instance of which the present fashions in evening dress may be cited. I am of opinion that this is not right. > A I need not enter, but among which the above mentioned laxity of opinion in society and the frequent idealization of the subject in current literature and painting may he mentioned, conjugal infi. delity has become more common and is considered less reprehensible. I am of opinion that this is_ nnt right. The origin of this evil is twofold. ll is due, in the first plncc, to a natural instinct and in the second to the elevation of this instinct toe place to which it does not rightly belong. This [going so, the evil mnm'lly be remedied by effecting a. change in the views now in vogue about “falling in love" nnd all that this term implies, by educating men and women at home through family influence and example, and abroad by means of healthy public cpiuion, to practise shut abstinence which morality and Christianity alike enjoin. This is my second contention. A more rational mode of life should be adopted, which would include abstinence from alcoholic drinks, from excess in eat- ing and from flesh meat, on the one hand, and recourse to physiosl labor on the other. I am not speaking of gymnasticsmr of any of those occupations which may be fitly described as playing at Work; I mean the genuine toil that fatigues. No one need go far in Search of proofs that this kind of nbstemious living is not merely possible, but farless hurtful to health than excess. Hundreds of instances are known to every one. This is my first contention. CUPID TO BE SHUNNED. In the second place, I think that of late gearskthrough various reasons into which It is not possible that the health of one ‘ class should necessitate the ruin of ‘enother, and in consequence it is our first duty to turn a deaf ear to such an essentially immoral doctrine, no matter how strongly society may have established or law protected it. Moreover, it needs to be fully recognized that men are rightly to be held responsible for the consequences 0! their acts, and that these are no longer to be visited upon the women alone. It fol. lows from this that it is the duty of men who do not Wish to live a life of infancy to practise such continence in respect to all‘ women as they would were the female ‘ society in which they move made up ex- clusively of their own mothers and sisters. My views on the question may be sno- oinotly stated as follows: Without enter- ing into details it may be generally ad- mitted that I am accurate in saying that many people condone in young men a course of conduct with regard to the other sex which is incompatible with strict morality, and that this dissoluteness is pardoned generally. Beth parents and the government in consequence of this View may be said to wink at profligacy and even in the last resort to encourage its prac tioe I am of opinion that this is not right. I have received, and still continue to re- ceive, numbers of letters from parsous who are perfect; strangers to me, asking me to state in plain and simple language my own views on the subject handled in the story entitled " The Kreulzar Sonata.” With this request I shall now endsmvor to comply.

(Translated from Count Tolstoi'a manuscript.) LOVE IS ONLY A lVU‘SANOE Declares That Marriage Was Not Insti- tuted by Uhrist. GOUN T TOLSTOI RICHMOND HILL THURSDAY, JULY '17. 1890 The churches, however, by endeavoring, contrary to Christ’s teaching, to establish marriage as a Christian institution failed to create a solid institution, and yet de- prived the people of the guiding ideal set up by Christ. The upshot of this ill ad~ vised effort was that people flung away the old before receivmg the new; they lost sight of the true ideal of chastity pointed out by Christ and embraced outwardly the ecclesiastical dogma of the sacrament oi marriage, a doctrine that has been built up upon no foundations whatever and in which men do not really and sincerely be- lieve. This aflords us a satisfactory exr planation of the fact, which at first sight seems a strange anomaly, that the prin- ciple of family life and its basis (conjugal fidelity) are found to be more firmly rooted among peoples who possess clear and min- ute external religious prescriptions on the subjectâ€"among Mohammedans and Jews, for instanceâ€"than among so called Chris- tians. The former have a code of clear, detailed external precepts respecting mar- riage, whereas the latter have nothing of the kind. It is only over a very insignifi. cant fraction of the unions which they con- tract that the men and women of our so- ciety have a ceremony performed by the clergy to which they give the name of sac- ramental marriage; they then live on in polygamy and polandry and giving them- selves up to vice, in the belief that they are practising the monogamy they profess. CHRISTIAN MARRZGES A FRAUD. Now, there is not and cannot be such an institution as a Christian marriage, just as there cannot be such a thing as a Christian liturgy, Matt., vi., 512; John, iv , 21) nor Christian teachers, nor church fathers Matt, xxiii., 810) nor Christian armies, Christian law courts, nor Christian States. This is what was always taught and be- lieved by true Christians of the first and following centuries. A Christian’s ideal is not marriage, but love for God and for his neighbor. Consequently in the eyes of a Christian relations in marriage not only do see. 11 only we could put it to the proot and oblige these gentlemen to bear the re- sponsibity of government.

SUPERINTENDENT Pomnn, of the United States Census Bureau, estimates that the l census returns, when completed, will place the population of the country at 64,500,000. against 50,155,783 in the year 1880. It the lives of as Christians are charac- terized by such a frightful contradiction between our consciences and reality it is because we fail to understand the doctrine of Christ, which points to an unattainable, imperishable ideal, and in consequence allow ecclesiastical prescriptions, wrongly called Christian, to be substituted for the Christian ideal. This has been done in the matter of divine service of apostleship, of power and of much else. The same thing has been done in respect of marriage. Christ not only never instituted marriage but if we search for formal precept on the subject we find that He rather disapproved it than otherwise. (“ And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for My name’s sake, shall receive an hundred told and shall in- herit everlasting life.”â€"Matt., xix, 29; Mark, x., 29, 30 ; Luke, xviii., 29, 30) He only impressed upon married and unmar- ried alike the necessity of striving after perfection. Chastity and celibacy, it is urged, cannot constitute the ideal of humanity, because chastity would annihilate the race which strove to realize it, 31in humanity cannot set up as its ideal its o‘vn annihilation. It may be pointed out in {reply that only that is a true ideal which, being unattainable,ad- mits of infinite grad tion in degrees of proximit . Such is t ‘ Whristian ideal of the form ing of God’s viag‘i‘i’m‘ggnion of all living creatures h) .3 w? I The conception of its atta pmible with the conception ‘ J‘s-$5“ their?” inent of life. What 3' .‘(1 of lth' could subsist it all living (ii-"stares were joined together by the bonds o’fiove ? None. Our conception of life is inieparably bound up with the conception of a continual striving after an unattainable ideal. THE RACE DOOmD ANYWAY. But even if we suppose the Christian ideal of perfect chastity realized, what then ? We should merely find ourselves race to face on the one hand with the familiar teaching of religion, one of whose dogmas is that the world will have an end; and on the other, of so-called science, which informs us that the sun is gradually losing its heat, the result of which will in time be the extinction of the human race. It is a most extraordinary thing when you come to think of it; Malthnsian theories can be broached and propagated ; millions of children may be allowed to die every year of hunger and want ; millions upon millions of human beings may be butchered in war; tile State may strain every nerve to increase and perfect the means of killing the people and look upon this as the main aim and object of its ex- istenceâ€"all these tlrings may be done under: our eyes without striking us as in any way dangerous BO humanity, but let some one hint at the necessity of celibncy and immediately the cry is raised that the 1 human race is in danger. The same truth 15 confirmed by our reason, which tells us that the only solu- tion not repugnant to the sentiment of humanity of the problem of over-popula- txon is afforded by the systematic striving after chastity which, though distasteful to animals, is natural to man. it. Thnmit isinoumbant on mankind so to strive and that celibacy is preferable to marriage are truths revealed by Christ nineteen hundred years ago. set forth in our catechiams and yrofessed by us as fol- lowers of Christ. How about the human race? If we admit that celibacy is better and nobler than marriage evidently the human race will come to an end. But if the logical conclusion of the argument is that the human race will become extinct the whole reasoning is wrong. To that I reply that the argument is not mine ; I did not invent been exalted by poets and romancers to an undue importance and that love in its various developments is not a fitting object to consume the best energies of men. Peo- ple set it before them and strive after it, because their view of life is as vulgar and brntish as is that other conception fre- quently met with in the lower stages of development, which sees in luscious and abundant food an and worthy of man’s best efforts Now, this is not right and should not be done. And in order to avoid doing it it is only needful to realize the fact that Whatever truly deserves to be held up as a. worthy object of mau’s striving and working, whether it be the eel-vice of humanity, of one's country, of science, of art, not to speak of the servite of God, is far above and beyond the sphere of personal enjoy- ment. Hence it lollows that not only to form a. liaison, but even to contract mar- riage is, from a Christian point of view, not a progress, but a fall. Love and all the states that accompany and follow it, how- eVer, we may try in prose and verse to prove the contrary, never do and never can facili- tate the attainment of an aim worthy of men, but always makes it more difficult.

's-ions of the recent sittings of the Council of_8tate before which he appeared : “Called by the Emperor as one having a knowledge of technical matters, I had the pleasure of attending three meetings last week, under the presidency of the Emperor himself. The sittings, with the exception of a. short pause for lunch, lasted from 10 3.111. to 6.30 p m. The Emperor opened, ad- journed, and closed the meeting. called on speakers, spoke himself, or stopped a speaker when he made a mistake, as the case might be. First to come and last to go. he followed the proceedings with eager attention. During lunch, where we sat in careless rows, and at which the minister of the interior was our host, the most dutiful of monarchs became the must gracious. When speaking singly or in small groups and discussing various questions, we quite forgot that it was the German Emperor before whom we sat. As I stood modestly apart, Herr von Bcetticher took me by the arm and led me up to the Em- peror, and at the same time I had the opportunity of sharing in a discussion with the social democrat Herr Buohholz, who, as a. representative of the workingmen and member of the Unfall Versicherung (acci- dent insurance), could boast of the support of (550,000 votes. Herr Buohholz, who wore the iron cross, believed that patriotism and socialism cculd be united, and had no de- sire at all that the Emperor‘s rule should be got rid of. Hereupon the Emperor asked : ‘ Do you believe that your leaders in the Reichstag will do anything for you ?’ Herr Buchholz replied : ‘ Certainly, Your Majesty, they have promised, and if they do nothing we shall not choose them again.’ The Emperor rejoined : ‘ Well, we shall see. If only we could put it to the proof and oblige these gentlemen to bear the re- sponsibity of government. But I cannot leave Bebel on the throne.’ The cabinet- maher Vorderbrugge and I rather drove Herr Buchholz into a corner, but when next day the Emperor inquired if we had got him round we were obliged to answer no.” The celebrated German remedy for burns consists of 15 ounces of the best white glue, broken into small pieces in two pints of Water and allowed to become soft ; then dissolve it by means of a water bath and add two ounces of glycerine and six drums of catholic scid ; continue the bent until thoroughly dissolved.

To very many persons the thoughts I have uttered here and in “ The Kreutzer Sonata ” will seem strange, vague, even contradictory. They certainly do contra.- dict, not each other, but the whole tenor of our lives. and involuntarily a doubt arises, ” on which side is truthfion the side of the thoughts which seem true and. well founded. or on the side of the lives of others and myself." I, too, was weighed down by that some doubt when writing “ The Kreutzer Sonata.” I had not the faintest presentiment that the ‘ train of thought I had started would lead f me whither it did. I was terrified by my own conclusion and was at first disposed to reject it, but it was impossible not to harken to the voice of my reason and my conscience. And so, strange though they ‘ may appear to many, opposed as they un- ‘ doubtedly are to the trend and tenor of our lives, and incompatible though they may prove with what I have heretofore thought and uttered, I have no choice but to accept them. " But man is weak,” people Will object. “ His task should be regulated by his strength.” It the light of truth dawns upon 5 Chris- tian when he is already married, or if, being a. Christian. from weakness he enters into marriage relations with the ceremo- nies of the Church, or without them, he has no other alternative than to abide with his wife (and the wife with her husband, if it is she who is a Christian) and to aspire together with her to free themselves of their sin. This is the Christian View of marriage, and there cannot be any other for a man who honestly endeavors to shape his life in accordance with the teachings of Christ. Such a thing as Christian marriage never was and never could be. Christ did not marry, nor did He establish marriage; neither did His disciples marry. But if {Christian marriage cannot exist there is I such a thing as a Christian view of mar- riage. And this is how it may be formu- lated: A Christian (and by this termI understand not those who call themselves Christians merely because they were baptized and still receive the sacrament once a year, but those Whose lives are shaped and regulated by the teachings of Christ) a Christian, I say, cannot View the marriage relation otherwise than as a deviation from the doctrine of Christâ€"as a sin. Thisis clearly laid down in Matthew v., 28, and the ceremony oalled Christian mar- riage does not alter its character one jot. A Christian will never, therefore, desire marriage, but will always avoid it. not constitute a. lawful, right and happy abate, as our society and our churches maintain, but, on the other hand, are always a fail.

A useful present to a vil- lage would be an iron playroom, which could be built in a week. A building cost~ ing £200 can be erected in a fortnight. The price of a room measuring 20 feet by 14 feet would be about £50. The cost of re- moval is from £5 upward. With this novel architecture it would be possible to reside in one's own house at a different seaside resort in England every year by having an iron house removed in this way. The brickwork chimney is preferred to any other by the builders of iron houses, no mode of heating being so wholesome as the open grate with direct ventilation. There are other modes of heating rooms, and some of them are sufficiently satisfactory when the ventilation has been properly secured. The drainage can be worked on the usuul plainI if this be preferred to the simpler mode recommended by the origin- ator of the iron house." To "strike a. flag ” is to lower the national colors in token of submission. Flags are used as the symbol of rank nnd command, the officers using them being called flag officers. Such flags are square, to distinguish them from ovher banners. Beware of the man who tells you of his wife’s faults. “ It is now feasible to add an additional room to the ordinary brick dwelling house, where such accommodation is needed. Being removable, it is the property of the tenant, so that the objection felt by most people against building for the ultimate benefit of one’s landlord does not hold good in mu.” m a: » . mg and 2532; house»! n___ L ‘ .‘d w . -- would {frequently prove} con to Th? brpin-workmg father 0! thc. mily; and in times of iliness it would 1,-“posmible, by this means, to isolate a patient completely from fine ofher ngembers pf the fa._mxl§f. _ r " The possibility of having a house built in a month to the buyer’s own plan and ready for occupation as soon as finished seems almost incredible. The pretty We]. come Club at the Italian and American exhibitions was made of iron. and its cost (£300) will give some idea of the compara- tive prices of brick and iron. It was cov- ered with trellis work, which imparted a picturesque and rural aspect to the outside. In its uncovered state the corrugated iron cannot be said to be ornamental, but the trellis work embellishes it at a small cost. It is suggested by the manufacturers that thatching the roofs with heather would add to the pictorial effect and also give addi- tional protection to the roof. Heather from Bournemouth thus applied would last for fifteen years or more. The thatohing would aid in keeping the house cool in summer and warm in winter, though this double desideratum has already been secured by the air spaces between the outer iron walls and the inner ones of felt and pine wood. “ Mr. Gladstone, we are informed, is having an iron library erected at Hawnrden. It is to contain 16,000 volumes. He takes the liveliest interest in the building and watches every detail of the erection. The house contains five rooms, the largest one measuring 41 feet by 21. Cases are made to hold twenty tons of books. Mr. Gladstone intends the library for quiet study and therefore proposes to admit only a few persons at a time. These houses are put together like a. child’s puzzle, and ‘ can be taken apart, oompeutly packed and removed elsewhere. A large number of iron villas have been sent from the works at Albertâ€"gate to the Riviera, and there erected upon plots of land purchased or rented for a term of years. When the lease expires the houses can be packed up and removed. There is beginning to be a demand for iron bungalows as marine residences in England. The rapidity with which they can be built and their small cost, as compared with the ordinary dwellings of brick and stone, ere recom- mendations which tell in their favor. A Departure in Building Which Is Gaining Ground in England. The Queen’s Pavilion, which formed an ornamental feature of the Windsor show, is to be erected in the grounds at Osborne. An article in the London Standard explains that “the Queen has been suffering from rheumatism of late, Iind her summer prac- tice of breakfasting in a tent upon the lawn may have done much to encourage this painful malady. The pavilion is to be placed upon a basis of hard concrete, so that her Majesty may be able to enjoy her meal almost in the open air without risk of dump. The success of the pavilion has given an impetus to the trade in iron houses. Flag Lore. IRON HOUSES.

In regard to the treatment of persons overcome by gas several suggestions were made by different npsnkera at the recs-mt meeting of the American Gaslight Associa- tion at Toronto. The most practical were these quoted on the authority of a promi- nent physician : 20. They value a heavenly reversion above an earthly possession. Some of the new shoes are dainty enough for Cinderella herself. Probably the very latest whim expressed in leather is a pair of highlach walklng-boota made of the new velvet pile leather, in a rich tint of golden-brown, goloshed and vandyked up the lacing with patent leather. The gypsy shoe, for garden party or light walking purposes, is made of glaoe kid, bordered with a. narrow-brogued braid, and out sufficiently low at the toe to admit of the display of colored-silk stockings, and is retained in place by means of an instep strap. A quaintly pretty magpie effect is produced in some of the new shoes by cutting out slashes of the black patent leather and letting in white kld below. Morocco shees of ruby or seal-brown color are braided with charming effth in a pattern which points upward toward the centre in a way to make the foot look small. Gray and fawn suede, braided in their own color; bronze kid. with yellow; black with scarlet, and White kid with pale blue are some of the prettiest combina- tions. And for ball room wear there are the real fairy slippers of white satin, trimmed with white beads and paste stars. wNew York Sun. 12. They render the greatest good for the greatest evil. V 13.
