Olds, a wealthy retired lawyer of Newark, stood "under a bridal bower in Lyric hall, last night, to be mar ried to Agnes Aprille, a pretty Nea politan girl of twenty years. As the minister asked if anyone knew cause why the couple should not be pro nounced man 'and wife, a young man stepped forward and hande the groom a SunEanons, "This man is pledged to marry an- other; "-he said.

He had been theonscious since midnight. Mr. Alt geld . was principal speaker at a pro Boer mass meeting last night in the Joilet theatre. Mr. Altgeld, in loud ringing tones, denounced the policy of England in the: Transvaal. He had reached the closing sentence when he began to stammer. He hesitated to proceed and some in the audience ap peared to think he was confused, but, resuming once wre, he concluded. Altgeld in leaving the stage stumbled slightly, but ne one seemed to notice he was ill. He walked to a place be hind the scenes. "I must leave in a minute, | am not feeling well," he said to some men who were holding out their hands to congratulate him while the audience in front applaaded. Mr. Altgeld then fell in a faint and was carried to the hotel where he died. The cause of his death was apoplexy. api The Officer And The Sentry. London Military Mail. In one of our largest garrisons a week or two ago a young officer was showing the sights to some of his ad- miring friends. . They came across a sentry, and the youngster saw a capi tal opportunity of - displaying his knowledge, "A sentry," explained he, "must on no account surrender his arms, but I'l bet I get this one to do it, and you see what a funk he will _be in when 1 tell him what he has done." Stepping wp.to the man, he asked him to let him have a look at his bayonet for a moment, and an suspectingly the soldier handed over the weapon. "Now, do' you know what you have done ?"' exclaimed the youth, "¥ou are completely in my hands, antl I can give you over to a court mdrtial at once for having given up your arms." "Oh, I'm in vour hands, um 1% said the soldier, and letting fly with his fist he sent the young man sprawling. "Now you're in ming." said he, as he picked up his bayonet. And so the officer was. He is now Kis humble servant, because the true story of his black eye never leak- ed out. Chosen Friends Give A Concert.

THE GARDEN OF THE WORLD. tin Changes Wrought In The Island Of Fiji. ? By & Banker Amongst the most beautiful and the faivesy of ali ihe many nature-adorn- ed spots wpor' this fair earth that somewhat recently acquired appendage of the 'British crown--the Fiji islands stands perhaps' first. And truly na ture has with a free hand, lavished her bountiful gifts upon these well favored islands. With the perfection of a" climate; with a soil of exceeding fertility; with scenery hoth grand and exquisite; and with a wealth of gor geous bloom altogether startling, Fi 2 may well be termed the garden of the world. The coast scenery of these sub tropi eal islands is of extreme. beauty and loveliness. Fringed with a row "of the tall and graceful cocoanut palm, their pendent fronds, waving in the sea orecee, while henegth. their shade flourish clusters of shrubs clad in 'a mantle of bright scarlet or mauve, forming a startling contrast to the white glistening beach, upon which the long Pacific foam-crested rollers are continuously breaking, these cre: cent shaped bays present a picture of ever varying beauty such as perhaps can be seen in but few other pacts : of the world. Adjacent to the shore hanks grow clumps of thet priceless food, the bLread-frait; with bananas, sago palms, and many another valu able tree and shrub; while natural parterres of heilliant floriage of every hue and form bloom in Tuamcinnt pads fusion, But though nature had so prodigal ly embellished this Eden of the sea with so many of her most attractive adornments, vet, until recent times the inhabitants were saturated through and through with every sav- age abomination; and were perhaps, the cruelest and most rampesnd canni bals upon the face of the earth, It is related that these savages would make a raid upon an adjoining island in order to capture a herd of human prey, who were then and there slaugh- tered and roasted: a savage orgie en suing, at whigh the drunken barberi- ans, gorged with their hideous repast, soon lie helpless amidst the ghastly remains of their halidevoured fellow creatures. A But within the past half century all this is now changed. Those naked cannibals are now a decent, well- clothed, educated race; living: in pret ty villas and ' cottages, surrounded with well: kept flower gardens, and flocking in crowils. men, women and children; every Sunday to: church or chapel; the woshen and gitls on these occasions decking themselves in their best, and wearing wreaths of orchids or other flowers on their heads. The whole race is now transformed from the most barbarous and ferocious type of savage, to an intellectual, merry. and well-informed body of peaple. Their hideous idols are burnt: their sacrificing priests are an extinct class, or! are transformed into christian min isters and - ordained clergy; and all their old heathen customs have been telegated to the limbo of the forgot ten. past. The result of all this is thai these islands, on which, fifty or sixty years age. if a white man set foot, it was ab the peril of being cooked and de voured, are now centre of im portant trade, and the home of large owmbers of British. And the one cause in that at the peril of their lives, chris: tian: missionaries, have happily been the means of converting those savag- es: bo christianity; «o that now. prac- tically the whole of the many thous- ands of inhabitants, realising that the, Saviour of the world suffered in their stead, and bore the punishment due to them, have numbered themselves amongst His servants, and (with, as elsewhere, exceptions) now live con- sistent, well conducted, religious lives. ---------------- Briton's Royal Personages.

The guesiion "as to which is the most profitable cow is one that can not be decided in any arbitrary man ner. There are =o many circumstanoes and contingencies to © be taken into consideration, that, after all is and written on the subject, each man must decide the question largely his own wdgment. ' He will find it ne cessary to consider the nature of his farm: the suitability of his buildings and implements; 'the cost of hired help, if such is required; the proxim ity of a good market for his finished products, and many other details. The comparative advaiigges of beef-grow- ing and dairying would probably be | the first point considered by a farmer | who was just about to make start in | cattleraising. Men who hade had long experience in either of these lines are not likely to change to the other line, involving as it does, changes in farm routine, du. variety and management of crops, in buildings and equipments, without a good deal of deliberation That heef-production can be carried on with a smaller expenditure for labor and utensils is perhaps. true, and it certainly does not require the con stant attention to business that dairving entails Next comes the question of breed. It will, 1 think, be generally conceded by fair minded men, . that there is. 30 "best" breed. Evervthing depends on circumstance A breed that proves highly satisfactory in one district, may be found entirc!y unsuited to dif ferent environments, Only four breeds of beef cattle, viz. : Shorthorns, Here fords, Galloways, and Aberdeen-An- gus, have 'attained popularity in Can ada, and only the first mentioned can he said to be generally distributed. The others may equal the Shorthorns for heef production, and even surpass them under certain conditions, but the. superior milking qualitics of the fhorthorns, and particularly of the grades, have given them an unequal led popularity among our farmers. Where feed is plentiful, and the coun | trv not too high or broken, they are likely to prove satisfactory beefers and in addition will produce a amount of milk. The ease with which good bulls of this breed can be pro cured for grading purposes, argument in its favor. Breeders of the ether sorts are comparatively few, and the opportunity for choice is small, when one desires bull." In the colder parts of Canada, and on the bare pastures of the moun taihous districts, the Galloways and West Highlanders, should prove ser viceable on account of their hardiness and activity Among the dairy breeds, shires, Holsteins, Jerseys, and French Canadians are all held in considerable esteews. The latter have been almost unknown outside of the proVince of Quebec until the last year or two, but they are now attracting considerable attention. Under adverse circumstances, such as scanty pas tures, lack of proper winter feed and care, ete., they will probably vield a greater percentage of profit than those breeds which have for genera tions been accustomed and The Guernseys. although highly thought of in the United States, have never gained sufficient foothold in Canada, to enable our farmers to judge their suitability for this country. Both they and close relavives, the Jerseys, the Ayr care, are es. pecially adapted for the production of | fancy butter or cream for a high priced city - trade, and the majority of Canadian herds of these two breeds, are, I tNink, used for this pur pose. The Ayrshires amd scem to be gaining in popularity am ong the ' general dairy farmers, who support the cheese factories and eroameries, and with the dairy Short horns, sare likely to divide the greater | & part of the dairy field between them. The Holsteins are likely to do better on the level lands; with flusho pas tures and plenfy of winter food, while the Ayrshires, should, I think, hecause of their great activity. But, while certain well-defined differ | ences may characterize the various hreeds, vet it may be well to remem ber that there is much greater differ ence between individual animals of the same breed than between different breeds. A good cow is a good cow no matter what her breed may be. Therefore, - Jet each man select the hirved that he considers best suited to | Let | him buy, or breed too, the best avail: | ahle bulls of that breed, and continue | to a higher de | bis conditions, and stick to it. to grade up his herd gree of excellence vear by year. The practice fgllowed by some farmers of using bulls first of one breed and then of atiother is fatal to all plans of building up u handsome, uniform and profitable. herd of grade cows, and that i= just what most farmers ve quire. The average man does noes pure bred females; - in fact, do better with good grades. breeders of pure byed stock, are, like the poet, born, not made.
