CHAPTER I. [t was quite the end of the season, some twelve or thirteen yeais ago, and for some months the British public had breakfasted, dined, and supped full of the most abund ant crop of horrors ever supplied to its readers by the busy pen of an industrious press. The session had been enlivened by animated debates on the part England ought or ought not to take in the war then devasting eastern Europe, and bitter per- sonal abuse levelled at each other by contending craters. Now. politicans were counting the days till prorogation should set them free to use their tongues still more unscrupulously at county meetings and local dinners. THE YOUNG LIEUTENANT. In the town residence of a Wealthy widow, the Honorable Mrs. Saville,Stafl’ord Square, Belgravia, a note of preparation had sounded. The house-keeper had remarked to the butler that. they had not, too much time to get things ready before going down to the country. Indeed, Mrs. Seville had stayed unusu- tlly long in town, and, at the moment. chosen to open this story, was sitting at the writing table in her private room. a richly-furnished and luxurious Apartment with yellow brocade curtains and stained- glass windows. She was a small, slight woman with regular, delicate features. quick, dark eyes, and hair nearly white combed back in the style the: used to be called a l’ lniperabrice, and surmounmed by a biny cap of exquisite lace with a. tuft. of scarlet velvet ribbon. The small, thin, hand which held her pen was loaded with rings that flashed and glittered even in the subdued sunshine, while the other gently caressed the head at a small, silky, pearl- colored dog which lay on a chair beside her. nbont her own age, who occupied an arm chair at. the other side of the table, and who was rather gorgeously atmired in out door dress. “Is it possible? I sTlould never suspect your eyes of being weak. They seem strong enough and sharp enough to see through anything.” “ I am sure I interrupt you. You are always so busy," said the latter, with a comfortable smile, but showing no inclina- tion to move. “ I do not mind being interrupted this morning,” returned Mrs. Saville, not too graciously: “ my eyes are very tiresome. They smart; so when I read or Write for any timg. Irenlly must get, an amanuensis.” “Thank you: they have served my pur« pose well enough." “When do you leave town '1” “I am not, quite sure. I do not care to go until Hugh returns. He ought, to be here now. This scare about. trouble with Russia may bring him his appointment to a ship any day, and he ought to be on we spot. He h_as been ashore now for nearly a year.” ‘3 don‘t, fancy poor Everton’s frxends are generally what would be considered eligible chuaiutances for the young and inexperi- enced. especially when they have pretty daughters who sing like angelsâ€"or prima donnaa," she added, with a comfortable hug}. “'Pooh "’ cried Mrs. Saville, with a flash of anger in her keen black eyes, “Hugh is quit‘Le i_nditf§§ent to all than nonsense.” “ I wonder he chose the navy," said the visitor, “I should think the ery must be much the most agreeable profession." “My dear Lady Ohvia ! who can account for a. young man’s vagaries? My son is ficaibively enthusiaslic about, his profession. a is very scientific, you know, and Will,I have no doubt, rise to great eminence.” “Where is thin bright particular star of yours just n‘owi?” “ When he laet Wrote he was still at Nice. He has stayed on there too long, I think.

Don't try your eyes too much. Shall we meet you at the Momgomerys’ to-uight 2” “No; I am really sick of society.” “My dear, you must be seriously ill?" cried Lady Olivia, with another good-hum- ored but rather silly laugh, and the sisters- in-law (which was their relationship) shook hands and parted. Mrs. Seville picked up her little dog and took a. turn up and down the mom with it under her left arm, a look of excreme en- noyance quivering in her eyes. “What, a fool that. women is !” she murmured to herself: “not even it well-bred fool! and to look at. her. who would imagine she was the daughter of one earl, the sister of another? yet there she is, started by the mere accident. of birth in a. position which cost. me all my fortune, my aristocratic marriaze, my brains to achieve. Still, I do not complain: had these class distinc- tions not, existed, there would have been nothing to strive for, nothing to atnain.

And Mr Rawaon glanced curiously at, her. “Yea,” continued Mrs. Seville, stroking the little dog’s head thoughtfully. “When he was abroad some time ago (in the winter you know he made the acquaintance cf a horrid old gam- bling,disreputsble friend of Lord Evercon’s. This man has a daughter, and I heard ao- cidently that Hugh was a great deal with her. W hen my son returned I warned him against such penniless adventurers.

Mr. Rawson bowed himself out Mrs. Seville mechanically rose and rang the bell. Tnen she stood in a thought for a minute, and rang again. This time the butler presented himself.

Mm anin The Instruction Flu-sued In These [inlque Instlulllons. The famous Swiss watch schools are said to be the most exacting industrial instituâ€" tions in the world. Their methods, which are doubtless the secret of their successI will be found very curious and interesting. In one of the most celebrated of these instiâ€" tutions in Geneva, for example, a boy must first of all/be at least 14 years of age in order to enter. After being admitted, the student is first introduced to a woodâ€" turning lathe, and put to work et turning tool handles. This exercise lasts for several weeks according to the beginner’s aptitude. This is followed by exercises in filing and shapâ€" ing screw-drivers and small tools. In this way he learns to make {gr himself a fairly “ I {e}! so relieved and «2an a. glimpsve of Hugh en passent will be delighbful.” “ I really think I‘might as well go to the Mgnygqmervgf this_ evepmg,” sherphoughr. 5 complete set of tools. He next undertakes to make a. large wooden pattern of a watch frame perhaps a foot in diameter, and after learning how this frame is to be shaped, he is given a ready cut one of brass of the ordinary size, in which he is taught to drill holes for the wheels and screws. Throughout this inwtruction the master stands over the pupil directing him with the greatest care. The pupil is next taught to finish the irame so that it will be ready to receive the wheels. He is then instrucâ€" ted to make fine tools and to become expertin handling them. This completes the instruction in the first room, and the young waichmaker next passes to the department where he is taught to fit the stemâ€"winding parts and to do fine cutting and-filing by hand. Later on he learns to make the more complex watches, which will strike the hour, minute, etc., and the other delicate mechanisms for which the Swiss are famous. A Blessing for China. A new industrial and commercial epoch seems likely to begin in China. with the ratification of the treaty of peace, for, factories. The abolition of the odious tax known as "likin,” imposed on foreigners transporting and selling goods in the in- terior, Will have a most Important effect upon the trade of the country. In fact, the treaty will efl'ect a. complete readjust- ment of the commercial relations of China with the outer world. Before many years have elapsed the war islikely to be recog- nized as the greatest blessing that ever befall the Celestials. The Japanese are determined to follow up their victories by civilizing their enemies, and the world will observe um progress that is made with according to its provisions, the country. will he opened up to foreigners. who will be permitted to establish warehouses and Domâ€"I hope that photographer take a good picture of me.

Every child has not only the right to be well-born, but to be intelligently cared for_ It. 15 claimed that, one-tenth of all the children born die during the first and that four times as many die during the second month. This is appalling, and shows us that the most; thoughtful, loving care must; be given them. To the young and inexperienced mother, the care of her first-born comes something in the nature of an experiment. During the first, six months of her baby’s life she Wlll probably spend many weary hours in learning how best to care for him, and will also shed many bitter tears over her own Weakness and ignorance, and baby’s cross- ness. But tears are worse than useless, for if the mother nurses her child it largely de- pends upon herself whether or not the baby will be good. An even temper is necessary, for if the mother is irritable and fretful, the babe is apt to be the same. If the mother works hard, and when very warm nurses the child, he is unpleasantly affected, be- cause the nature of the breast milk is thereby changed. Babies do not cry with- out cause' but the cause [8 often difficult to ascertain. There is not much danger from pin-pricks if a good kind of safety pins are used. But if a baby is nursed too often, much discomfort is caused, and he proves that his stomach is over-loaded by tnrowing upflhis milk. Colic is often caused by over~feeding and cold feet. Regular hours should be observ- ed in nursing baby; about every third hour in daytime, and every sixth at night. How long could qroWn people retain their health, if they ate something every hour or two, and then, when the stomach was too full for comfort, take something more to relieve it 7 That plan is just as sensible as is the nursing of babies every time they fret or cry. Use common sense about feeding baby, and many of his ailments will dis- appear as if by magic. The first six months keep his feet wrap- ped well in a flannel barrow coat, even though the weather be warm. But if colic comes, as it sometimes will, first warm his ; feet thoroughly, then wrap in hot flannel, and give a little warm sweetened water, or a bit of catnip tea. Never, under any cir- cumstances, give tea made by using gin, brandy, or alcohol in any form, nor any drug contajning opium. ‘ Walking with baby is a foolish practice, and if it. is not. commenced during the first few months,will probably never be learned; the mother needs her strength too much to use it in such a. useless manner. How to Use 01d Newspapers. When spring cleaning time arrives old papers are called for to put under the car- pet. Several layers of them make a good carpet, lining, and if a thicker pudding is desired, straw can be used between two layers of paper. This makes a. very elastic lining and a very inexpensive one which can be renewed every season. Cut in long, narrow strips, old paper makes good stufi- ing for chairs cushions and pillows. It may not be equal to down. but it is quite as good as inferior hair for this use. Several thicknesses of paper placed be- tween cotton banning make a warm, llght. bed-comfortable, and iron holders and kettle holders are made in the same way, the paper being land between and the whole covered with calico. 0n very cold winter nights we put a newspaper coverlet over our house plants, and never have known them when so pro- tected to be pinched by Jack Foxst’s icy fingers. lb was an old nurse who found out how to replenish noiselesslyacoal fire in the sick room. She had the coal brought to the room in a strang newspaper with the corners gathered up and tied. When fresh fuel was needed she could place the paper just as it was on the fireI with scercely a rustle. If she could only invent some noiseless method of poking the fire with a newspaper, her name would be held in honor in our household, & least. forever- more. If you have doors leading to porches,etc., which are not used during the winter, you may find that the wind whistles through. no matter how securely they are locked and bolted. Fold newspapers in long, narrow strips and press them firmly in all cracks with a. thin-bladed knife, and the whistling wind will not trouble you sgein from that source. If you find it stealing in beneath the window sash, raise the Window, place alold ofpaper on the sill. then close and lock the window. Recipes.

The conversion of China and Japan to Western ideas would be like the discovery of a new continent. The two Eastern nations revolutionized by our trading and industrial methods, would speedin become to America. what America became to Eur- ope. The discovery of this continent was the making of the great western ports of Europe, and especially of the United King- dom. Bristol. Liverpool, and Glasgow sprang from obscurity to greatness as a result of the shipping trade the discovery of the New World called into being in the west. Before that Britain’s trade was en- tirely with the east, and that, of course, gave her ionsl But once America began to be colonized, and the settlers began to send their grain, their furs, their cotton, their tobacco, and other products to the Motherland, fishing villages on Britain’s western shores started on their career as great seaports, where the produce of the new land was received and whence manufactured articles in paj- ment for them were despatched. In the same way the development of the latent resources of China would build up the sea- port towns on the western shore of this country. Japan has alreadya foreign trade of $165,000,000. This is very small for a nation of 40,000,000 inhabitants, being less than three-fourths of that done by this country with only one-fifth of Japan’s population. Also, China's foreign trade, with four hundred million people more than we have,amounts to only about the same as ours. There would be a marvellous expansion of this trade if the seeds of “’estern progress were once well rooted in the East. It would change the Pacific from a little frequented ocean to rivalling. probably exceeding, the Atlantic in the volume or merchandise transported across it. The new East should afford a big market for Canadian manufactures. Already we have developed an export cotton trade of respectable dimensions with China. having shipped to that country in 1894 2,770,343 pounds of cottons. averaging 3 L4 to 3 1-2 yards to the pound. In machinery, implements, hardware, textile fabrics. boots and shoes, provisions, we could get on as good a footing to do a big export trade as our neighbor. We are already not badly furnished to begin, hav- ing a transcontinental railroad and a line of steamships touching at Japanese and Chinese ports. As Japan adopts and ex- tends Western culture and ideas the markets on that side of the world will grow. and Canada will be likely to benefit greatly by results yet unborn of the late war between the two Eastern Empires. The Black Death. The special symptoms of the disdease seem to have been everywhere the same. Car- buncles, sometimes as large as hen’s eggs sometimes smaller, appeared in the axilla or the gram, accompanied usually, but not. always, with gangrenous inflammation of the throat and lunga,with spittingof blood. This latter was the fatal symptom. “From the carbunclee and glanular ewellinge,” says a contemporary writer, “many recov- ered ; from the blood spitting none." The infection was so swift, and deadly that the slightest contract, even with the clothes ofaeick person, served to com- municate it. Boccaesio tell a story to the effect that the rage of a poor man just dead, having been thrown into the street, two hogs came by at the moment and be- gun to root among them, shaking them in their jaws. In less than an hour they both fell down and died on the spot. Another Italian Writer, himself a sufferer from the pestilence, relates his personal experience. “And here," he says, “I can give my testimony. A certain men bled me. and the blood, flowing, touched his face. On the same day he was taken ill, and the next he died ; and by the mercy of God I have escaped.” Early in 1348 the great pestilence reached Imly. Some plague-stricken vessels from the East brought the infection to Genoa and Venice, and from these two places the disease quickly spread over the entire country. At Venice seventy out, of every hundred of the population died, while at Genoa hardly one-seven uh ofthe inhabitaan were spared. Twenty notes leave aka CANADA AND THE EAST.
