Gernez, a French custom^ in- spector at the frontier station of Feignies, was inspecting recently a freight train, one of the cars of which was filled tatoes, when his with sacks of po- suspicions were aroused, and on taking out some of the supposed potatoes he found that they were packets of tobacco cleverly done up in wrappers close- ly imitating potato skins. Together with two assistants M. Gernez concealed himself in the wagon and the train went on its way to Noyon. Just outside the station, as the train slackened speed, the doors of the wagon were slid back in their grooves and two men began to enter, officers darted from The customs their hiding place and caught one, the other es- caping across the railway track. The captive was brought to Paris, where he disclosed the name of his accomplice and been previously similar frauds.

The danger to man from the tim- ber wolves that make Algonquin Park their winter hunting ground is not yet very great. Since the Canadian government made the great forest territory a reservation, no man has been attacked ; but very likely that is because other food is plentiful. The wolves, however, have again and again shown that they enjoy frightening man. In Outing, Mr. \V. Lacey Amy gives an account of one instance of the kind. On one of the long trips with the rangers, we had taken with us the superintendent's sledge team of great Danes. As we lay in a shel- ter house one night, the howls of the wolves made sleep impossible, and when we hitched up in the ear- ly morning light, they were so close that we could hardly control the dogs. When we started, the pack col- lected just over a ridge, and kept pace with us through the trees not two hundred yards away. After travelling some time in this way, tlh-cre came an unaccountable si- lence, and a few minutes later the howls broke out a half mile away. Again there was only the sr>und of the harness bells and the crunch of the enowshoe-s. Of a sudden the howls came again with renewed vigor, and this time they were making straight for us at full speed. In a few seconds thev were just beyond the ridge, and stitl coming furiously. The dogs tugged madly to be free, for they had learn- ed to hate the wolf as fiercely as the ranger does. Obviously, it was wise to be pre- pared. Three of us stood with rifles ready, and the driver loosened the dogs from tho traces, and held them in hand. Thus we faced the on-coming animals.

Inquiry elicited the fact that lie was then in attendance upon his fag master, whose room was polite- ly pointed out. She knocked at the door, was in yited by a lordly voice to ''Gome in," and entered. / The fag master lolled comfortably in an easy-chair, while the youthful duke attended to the fire. He was kneeling down and blowing it to make it burn brighter. "Excuse me," said the duchess iweetly, "but I should like ray son to be fre this afternoon, if pos- sible." The fag master had risen, of course, as the lady entered. He bowed and -turned to tho fag. "Boy," said he, slowly, ''you can bring up eomo more coals, and then you will be free for the rest of the day. Yes, madam, he shall come." The duke went off humbly for an- other scuttle of coals, then "scut- tled" away himself after his au- gust mother. * About one hundred persons in the United Kingdom have a yearly income ear. more than 90,000 he makes very plain in the sentence, in which he makes stead- fastness and fidelity the test of fit- ness for the kingdom of God. As they went on their way At this point we resume the narrative of our last lessorf, though hero too we must remember what was said in the paragraph on "chronologi- cal sequence" in connection with dull silver. A simple polishing gives next it its normal appearance. This pro- cess is susceptible of numerous ap- plications, and is destined to ren- der great service in many in- dus tries. A Knotty Problem. Nearly every one who has travel- ed in Russia na/s, at some time or that lesson. The passage which 'other, run afoul of the official "red follows may or may not be related tape" of that country. So, at least, what imme- had the traveler whose woes are the subject of an amusing sbory in a London newspaper. His trunks had been closely in time with what imme- diately precedes. A certain village Bethany, near the Monnt of Olives (John 11.1, 18). In Mark 14. 3 and Matt. 86. 6 we read of * feast prepared for Jesus in the house of Simon the leper, Martha serving and Mary anointing the Master's feet. It has been con- jectured that perhaps Martha was Simon's daughter or even his wife. In either case Simon would not be present, since the law de- manded tha separation of lepers from other people. Cumbered about much serving- Martha evidently had gone to much trouble in order to do due honor to their distinguished guest. In centering her mind wholly upon the external service and hospitality she lost, in part at least, the deeper joy of fellowship with the M/ister which the occasion of hia visit made possible and of which her more" spiritually minded sister eagerly took advantage. But one thing is examined, and the traveler was about to pass into the city, when an official, who had been scanning his traveling pa- pers, stopped him. "These papers contain irregulari- ties," said tho official, sternly. "You cannot stay in Russia." "Very well," said the traveler. ''I shall take the next train back to Berlin." "Good! Lot me see your pass- port, entitling you to leave the country." 'I have none." 'Very well. Then it is quite im- possible for you to leave Russia. I will give you twenty-four hours in which to decide what you arc go- ing to do." ..*_ ''Mnv I see you aprons the street?' 'CVvliiilv. That'll be fine.

For uncomfortable minutes there dead silence, save for the. control- led whining of the straining dogs. Then tho clamor broke loose again but at our backs. The wolves had come almost within sight In front, and had then passed silently round to give us another scare from the rear. Three times that morn- ing they repeated the performance. Their howk sounded to us like de- risive laughter. At one place we crossed their trail, and I could see only one wolf track. But the rangers read more, and a few yards beyond we saw the track divide into eight or ten. The pack had stepped so accurately in the tracks of the leader that a no- vice would think that only one wolf had passed. * Saered to Him. "You, of course, consider ballot sacred?" the "Sure.
