The Ire-ska ofa film-cc Moron One evening recently a manof finoappear- ance and good addreescreatodqnitosssnsa‘ tion in the Central depot, Bufi'sdo, by a dis- tribution of his money, of which he appeared topouess a fair amount. Near the ticket office he threw away a 3‘20 bill, which was picked up by a gentleman, who acquit had been dropped by mishko and mimic itto him. The stranger again threw it dbwu, pulled out a handful of bills "idols-ago. Ind scattered it likewise. The crowd was not slow in appropriating what he throw away. Oilicer Hughes succeeded in having all the money remrned to the stranger, and then took a walk with him to the police station. The stranger saidhisname was Ansley Grey, and that he came from Fergus, Ont. Papers found in his peuesslon bore out this shut ment. lie acted like a man just recovering from a protracted spree, but the condition of his clothes and his general appear-amid did not indicate that such was the case-"Mr. Grey stated that he expected to, meet his wife and sister-in-law at the depot, and join them on a trip to Chautauqua. lie could not find them, and wanted to go on alone. As he could not take care of his money, the otlicers advised him to go to a hotel and sleep until morning, when he would be all right. Apparently he agreed to this, and left his money,which amounted to $1,605.00, at number 1 Station. Four dollars were returned to him to pay for his lodgings and anything else he might want. Officer Hughes then safely installed him at the National Hotel. After registering he wanted another drink, but being refuted he retired without it, and threw himself on a bed. Five min- utes later he left the hotel, and was not seen again last night. From papers and letters in Grey's possession it appears that he is a prominent temperance lecturer. The Hon. Ansley Grey is an American temperance lecturer who took an active part in the Scott Act campaign in Halton, Ont, last year. On several occasions he was too drunk to fill his engagements, but he was so eloquent that his failing was overlooked. lie was not by any means a hypocrite. lie did not pretend to be a teetotaler. lie only said he was laying very hard to be one but wasn't able to resist the temptation. lie argued that there were thousands of others like himself who couldn't save themselves and for the sake of such wretches he urged the people to prohibit the traffic in liquor and so remove the temptation.

I suppose he can see that I am anxious to join the others, and feels piqued. At all events he ceases to make any effort to amuse me, and, as we walk entirely round the is- land without catching a glimpse of the truants, I spend rather a dull time of it. Just as we reach the little bay where we left the boat they appear at last, sauntering leisurely toward us, Judith with her hands full of honeysuckles and pink dog-roses. “Werhave been looking for yon-every- where !" \Vcst tells them sulkily. " Looking for us!" Judith repeats, open- ing her great bright eyes. “We have been sitting on the old bridge, not a hundred yards aways, ever since, wondering what had become of you.” “ You don'tiook happy, Charlie, " laughs Brrcll, who does look very happy. “ Miss Warburtcn seemed to think we ought not to have lost sight of you." “ It would have been pleasanter if we had all kept together,” I remark, panting a lit- tle. “ But we were waiting for you 1" Judith says in a conciliatory tone, drawing near to me. " “'c thought of exploring the wood on the other side of the river, if you had come back in time " We do not separate again, but the plea- sure of the day is spoilt for me.

Just before the luncheon~bell rings I go out again to look for Judith. I do not find her in the garden ; the tennis courts are de- serted, the boat rocks idly at her moorings, no voice no footstep disturbs the green quiet of the wilderness. “Where can she be i" I wonder. vaguely, hurrying down the long green alley towards the resary.

But I admire her, and I fancy Erroll admires her. As to Ralph, i do not know whether he ever looks at her or not. I am beginning to think Erroll was wrong when he thought Judith cares for his brother, or be for her. We drive to Kuightswocd after luncheon â€"-we three ladiesâ€"returning to dinner at seven o'clock. There is a small dance in the evening; but, though Judith looks superb n her simple black gown, with a great bouquet of white roses, Errcll does not seem even to see her, but devotes him self entirely to me.

But por- hsps Judith doesn't care about him 2" “I don’t suppose she cares about him i" Errol] laughs, looking at her; “ but four will be better company than three, and it is a stiff pull up the river with only one man in the boat." So it is arranged, and, as Charlie West turns out to be a most amusing companion, we spend a delightful hour floating down the river in a big beat, all taking our case in the A House Without Children.

I survey myself in the long mirrors as I trip downstairsâ€"such a dainty little figure they present to me, with a face like a flower, and great innocent blue eyes Zand gold-colored hair curling like a child’s hair over the pretty head.

But to have left me with a comparative strangerâ€"a stupid boy of whose conversation I do not care a buttonâ€" snd that for more than an hour, was too much. I will not be oajoled out of my ill-humour even by the undivided attention which Er- roll bestows upon me during our homeward voyage, Judith electing to take his car, to leave him at more liberty to devote him- self tc me. Even when we reach Velfry I am still too sulky to join in the game of tennis Erroll proposes, and retire to my on room after luncheon on the plea of having a bad head-ache, Mrs. Rutherfurd following me to offer all kinds of remedies, and to close the window curtains with her own hand, blaming herself all the time for having al- lowed me to go out under such a broiling sun. I do not hear their voices in the tennis- court under the window as I lie in the dark- ened room with my tear-stained cheek buri- ed in the pillows; but the more I fancy Er- roll misses me the more determined I am to make him suffer â€"he can play tennis with Miss Irving ; very likely they have gone to walk in the garden together. But no. The door opens saftly and Judith comes in, with- out any but on. She has not been out since luncheon, she t-lls me. Mr. Erroll Ruther- furd has gone away with Charlie West. They were all very dull, would I not bath my forehead with can ds Cologne and come down to the drawing-room '.‘ Mollified by the knowledge that others were not enjoying themselves while I made myself miserable, I allow her to brush my hair, to bathe my forehead, to arrange my tumbled ribbons, to lead me downstairs like a child who has been very naughty but who promised not to be naughty anymore. And then we have ten in the cool green drawing- room, and some visitors come, and so the afternoon passes. And neither at dinner, nor after dinner, does Judith so much as glance at my lover, nor does he seem to care whether she does or not, spending the whole evening playing draughts with me. I think it must be rather dull for Judith; but then she had a pleasant day and I had not. Not that size looks at all dull in her little plush-covered chair by the reading- lamp, with the last number of the (landfill in her hand. She looks particularly well satisfied, I think,with her dark head thrown into relief by the crimson cushion, and her eyelashes throwing a shadow on her check as she reads. But I can scarcely see her or rather I cannot see her without turning my head. But Erroll can amuse himself by bright water, singing snatches of serenades or beat-songsâ€"Judith especially delighting us by her exquisite rendering of my favour- ite “Clear and cool." “I think you might sing something now," she laughs when her song is ended, turning to Erroll as he lounges lazily in the 'stern of the boat, with his hands clasped behind his head. ‘ “ Docs Erroll sing l” I ask, surprised. " Have you never heard him? Then he must sing something for you 1" Judith says, looking at him. Y He smiles back at her, shaking his head. “ Can he sing, really i" I ask again. It seems odd that I should not have known it before. “ Certainly he does. He has rather a good tenor voiceâ€"if he would only practises. lit- tle more.” “Then I wish he would sing something.” “He willâ€"if he does not think we are particularly anxious to hear him i" Errol), still looking at her, and without changing his position, begins: to sing. His voice is sweet and deep, and every word thrills through my heart. “1 think of all thou art to me, 1 dream of all then osnst not be: My life is curst with thoughts cf thee, For ever and for over. “Perchance If we had never met 1 had been spared this wild regret, This endles striving to forget, For over and for ever. "Perchnnco if thou wort far away-â€" Did I not see thee day by dayâ€"- i might again be blithe and gay, For over and for ever. panacea for every possible evil, I. talisman against every possible ill. Suddenly the sound of voices approach- ingâ€"the voices of two people walking on the other side of the beech hedgeâ€"breaks in upon my blissful reverie. They are Erroll and Judith'sâ€"I can distinguish them per- fectly, though both are'speakiug in rather a low tone, or so I fancy. Smiling to my- self, I think how I shall startle them pre- sently, when I lush round upon them out of my ambuscado. (so as oosvrmoso.) “MOW Harvest-time ianglsnd. But whether wheat is 80 or 60 shillings aquarter, whether the farmer drinks sherry or is thankful for “small beer, the harvest month is still to many the best of all the twelve. There is a mellowness in the Aug- ust air that is found in none of its predeces- sors, and can scarcely be looked for in that portion of the waning year which succeeds in. There is an inexpressible balminess in the golden mornings, and the long twillghts of August soothe the mind as if the saunter- er among the corn'fislds were breathing some subtle ether. Flowers there are still inplenty. The wild mint stands “ like a nymph knee-deep in water," and the purple loosestrife shows its gorgeous spikes in the moist places under the hedgerows, while the lake and river pools, covered with the white water lilies, seem in places as if they were little bitI.I of a forgotten fairyland. The midday sun may be sultry, but there are apples for the plucking, and before the last week comes the orchard will be laden with plums so juicy that, like J ustico Shal- low’s plppius, they are a fruit to be remem- bered. Still, the bright tints of May are gone, and the exuberant wealth of June blossoms has given place to a display more befitting the sober times that are coming. The rush of leaf and bloom is no more. Old age with its seamess is afar 03'. Yet the slightly russet hue which the foliage is here and there assuming and the reddening berries in place of the gay flowers seem, as it were, better in keeping with the sedate- ness of middle age.

Among the affections to which these glands are liable is goitrc, in which they become en- larged. The enlargement may be slight, or it may be so great as to reach upward to the ears, and extend downward to the breast. One case is recorded in which it reached be. low the thighs! In some parts of the world the affections are quite rare; in others quite common, though in the latter it is largely confined to certain districts.

In many cases the goitre may be merely a deformity. In others it may obstruct the breathing by pressing against the windpipe ; or may cause headache, dizziness, fulness of the head, singing in the cars, by hindering the circulation in the vessels of the neck; or it may interfere with swallowing, by pres- sing on the (esophagus (gullot). It is quite frequently associated with ers- tim‘smâ€"that peculiar idiocy in which the brain ceases to grow, and the whole body becomes stunted and hideously deformed, but the latter is often found without the for- mer. Doubtiess each is due to a common cause. The most effective treatment consists in the removal of the patient to another in- cality. W Many a fond mother predicts a professorship, or judgeship, or bishoprie for a favorite son, who, nevertheless, slinks through the world among the crowd of unknown people. For- all that, sundry remarkable predictions have: at various times been uttered which have come true, and yet nothing miraculous has been attributed to them. Sylla said of Caesar, when he pardoned him at the earnest untreaty of his friend, “ “You wish his pardonâ€"I consent; but know that this young man whose life you so eager- ly plead for will prove the most deadly enemy of the party which you and I have defended. There is in Cuesarqncro than a Marius." The prediction was realized. Erasmus wrote a composition at twelve years old which was read by a loomed friend of Begins, and he was so struck by its merit that he called the youth to him and said, scanning him keenly, "My boy, you will one day be a great man." Cardinal Morton, Archbishop of Center- bury, early predicted the greatness of Sir Thomas More. Pointing to the boy one day, he said to those about him, “That; youth will one day be the ornament of England." Cardinal Wolsey, though a butcher's son, had an early presentlumnt of his future great eminence. He used to say that if he could but once set foot at Court he would soon in- troduce himself there. And scarcely had he obtained admission at Court, the posses. ear of a humble benefice, than he did not hesitate to say that henceforth there was no favor to which he dared not aspire. Marshal Turcune in his early youth pro- phetioally foretold the distinction in arms to which he would raise. But, doubtless. there are few youtlis who enter the army, full of ardor and courage, who do not predict for themselves the career of a hero and u conqueror.

On the other side are the words : “ Peninsula, Roleia, Vimlera, Vittoria, Almarss, Nive, Pyrenees, Orthes, Waterloo, Fuentes D'Onor." The model is made of composition metal, and is about one and a half inches in diame- ter. Above and below the words “71st Highland Light Infantry " are a crown and a hunting horn respectively, and on the 0 or side is an oval-shaped figure inclesing u. Era-rot or. Andrew, beside which is standing a barefocted pilgrim, the beauty of whose visage is destroyed by the abrasion ‘ of the metal and the lapse of time. As may be inferred from the names Vittoria, Vim- iei’la and Waterloo, the original possessor of the medal was one who followed the English flag through the Spanish Peninsula in the war which ended at Waterloo in 1815. The other legend of the modal indicates that the battle-scarred Highlander won new honors and laurels in a later service in East indie. ng the medal got to Charleston would be hard to divine, but it is evidently a genuine military relic.

The saying. “ There is always room at the top," was invented by a bald-headed man. The bald head that is not susceptible to the patter of a fiy’s festive-feet is an unfcel- lug mockery. A thoughtful mind can find fodder for much rumination in the announcement that 7'.’ per cent. of the bald-headed men in this country are married. The Lord made nothing in vain, but why, oh why, did he make tiles with such an ex- eorsble insanity for mistaking a bald head for a parade ground. A bald-headed man who has heard that the‘ hairs of a man's head are numbered wpnts whow if there is not some place where he can obtain the back numbers.

"You out 2” I exclaimedregretfully. How I wish I had known l I have been here all alone for the lust half-hour.” “ I thought it a pity to waste such a morning lubed," Miss Irving smiles, step- ping ln through the window. “ So did I. And I am so sorry I did not know you were in the garden! \Ve would have had such a delicious rumble! I did think once I heard voicesâ€"~" " I have been visting some of my old haunts,” Judith says, without waiting for me to finish, “and talkingto old Knox, the gardener. He remembered my passion for roses, and presented me with these.” Shoglanoes half-apologetically at Mrs. Buth- erfurd as she lays the roses on the table. I had thought Mrs. Rutherford looked dis- pleased whon she first caught sightpfthe flow- crln J udith’s hands; and yet, though it might have been taking a liberty to gather them, I could not think she wouldbegrndge hervIs- ltor a few roses. Now, however, she smiles most benignly ; and not only that, but gives Judith permission to help herself free- ly from garden and greenhouse, adding pleasantly that the flowers with which she adorns herself are certainly not gathered in vain.
