The sound of gay voices came faintly from the distant campus. He looked at her and smiled. "I wonder if they recall any part of The Higher Sacrifice' they heard this morning?" she asked as she re­ turned his smile. "Not now, I think. The lecture was not for the campus grounds, tfhey may remember it after awhile. Some years hence, perhaps." , "But doesn't it seem that anything affecting life so deeply must be re­ membered all the time?" "No; I think not. You, for instance, are the dearest part of my life, and I'm afraid I don't remember you al­ ways. In mf laboratory, for example, in my work before those eager young men and women, I forget you, Elinor. My demonstrations are never mixed with thoughts of this couch with its cool pillows and you." "But you do. not really forget me. You may not remember me in that way, perhaps, but you are conscious of me all the time, just as I am of you. when my class and I go creeping inch by inch through the Inferno, shrink­ ing and quivering before the sights that confront us there. One's con­ sciousness doesn't need to imply couches nor pillows nor any objective things at all, need it?" He laughed happily. The voices on the campus grew gayer. "There," he said. "They're filled with the consciousness of The Higher Sacrifice.'" She smiled a little. "I think he made it beautiful," she said. "He made it too beautiful. Sacri­ fice--real sacrifice isn't like that It Is harsh and horribly commonplace, though it is not common. I don't think it especially productive of the qualities of character he described. It makes character neither sweet nor great. On the contrary, it makes hard lines, both mentally and physically. It\ages and embitters. Look at Miss Loswell. She has sacrificed. I don't know of any one more unloved or un­ lovely. She always makes me feel an andercurrent of sarcasm or pessimism or something equally disagreeable in the smallest things she says and does." "Winfred." "Well, dear, I thought you wanted my opinion." "Yes, of course." "Well, it isn't much longer^ I wasn't much Impressed by the lecture at all." "You don't believe in sacrifice?" - "Yea, I do, but I don't believe it's either attractive or beatific, and I don't think it should be presented in that light to those who know so little of life. Sacrifice is difficult and for- bidding." "To me it is beatific," she said. He patted her arm tenderly. "Play for me, dear," he said. "Sing to me." She rose and went over to the piano. He settled back into the cushions. She played. She sang. It grew dark. She had sung all the songs he loved best. "How good you are, Elinor," he said. Come here." She went and sat down beside him, where he had made room for her with­ out raising his head from the pillows. She smoothed back his hair with her hand. She kissed him. Oh, Winfred," she whispered. "My love, how I love you." He drew her closer to him and closed his eyes contentedly. The voices died away on the cam­ pus. The moon came up. He slept. She did not stir for fear of waking him. She sat looking out into the quiet night, thinking of the lecture they had heard that morning and of the divine sublimity of the high­ er sacrifice. II. They had been spending their vaca­ tion together 'with her mother at her cottage in the mountains. Her cou­ sin Lucie was with them. And the time was near when they all must return to the busier world. On one of the last days, Winfred and Lucie went off to the cliffs togeth­ er. He begged Elinor to go with them, but she had some reason for remain­ ing. Neither could ever remember what reason she gave, but then human affairs do not turn upon reason. After they had gone, Elinor's moth«^ spoke to her about her lover and her friend, but Elinor only smiled. She knew that it would come and she had pre­ pared to smile. When they returned later in the evening Lucie's face was flushed and there was a light in her eyes that Elinor knew. It was the light her own had held when Winfred kissed her for the first time. She went up to them and took La- hid her white face against the girl's warm cheek. She felt that Winfred was looking at her, and she dreaded the happiness in his eyes. Lucie freed herself. She took a step toward her lover, then stopped and held out her hands to him. "Why, Winfred," she exclaimed, delightedly, "they have guessed it." He looked past her at Elinor. Their eyes met. The soul of the woman looked out of them, calm in its agony. "Elinor!" he said. His impulse was to go to her. The old da^s could not die. "Elinor." "But Lucie stood between them. He felt her hands upon his breast. He felt her silky hair against his throat. He heard her 'laugh softly. "Why, Winfred," she was saying. "I do believe you are frightened. Were you never in love before, you great, grand man?" Elinor had turned, and passing her arm through that of her mother, left the room with her. Out of the Past, rose the voices on the campus, submerging that of the little girl who clung to him and Korea Md Blectrlcitf. Near the center of the city of Seoul there is a beautiful marble pagoda that was brought from Pekln about 1300 by one of the Mongol Queens, who came as a bride to Korea. Her people at that time were shaking the whole known world, and, tinder lead­ ers like Genghis, Kublai and Tamer­ lane, were upsetting all the thrones of Asia, so that Korea still speaks of them with bated breath, and the smallest children know them by name. The marble pagoda still stands, A silent witness before the world of the great Mongol conquerors; but past its stony ear whizzes an Ameri­ can electric car every ten minutes at ten miles an hour, regardless of all the Mongol shades. Along this main street of Seoul, one of the oldest streets in the world, stretch Western wires charged with something that defies all the curiosity of the east to pronounce upon. A few days ago a broken strand hung temptingly from one of the poles, and the Far East determined to get hold of it to inves­ tigate, with the result--one live wire, one dead man. A government notice was posted up: "If anyone is caught fooling with these thunder and light­ ning strings, let him be padded."-- The Outlook. "Were you never in love before, you great, grand man?" laughed because of love. And in that still, far-off night, he heard Elinor speaking, "To me. it is beatific." THE CIVIL WAR. 8trlfe Be-Soathern Idea of the Great tween the 8tates. The New York Evening Post rebukes Gen. Grosvenor for the bitterness dis­ played in his declaration that he would call the civil strife of 1861-65 "The War of the Rebellion" to his latest breath, and also take exception to the term chosen by Oen. Grant, viz., "The war between the states," on account of its length. In the interests of good feeling and brevity both, it decides in favor of "The Civil War" as the most becoming title for that unhappy period of conflict. The Post's position Is undoubtedly the proper one. In 1861 secession--a*s viewed by thousands whose opinion upon any subject was worthy of all respect--was as much a constitutional right as trial by jury or the exercise of the elective franchise, and to apply the term "rebellion" to the govern­ ment t"hat these men set up mere­ ly proclaims a combination of ignor­ ance and prejudice. What a similar movement would be now is a very different matter. The question was submitted to the arbitra­ ment of the sword, and was by that weapon decided? in the negative, and that decision stands for the future. But in 1861 it was a war between states, and as such history will re­ gard it--Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. k Water with Fixed Air. A magazines published in 1823 gives the following method to improve water for drinking: Let the water, wnen boiled, be put into a common barrel churn, where it may be agitated to any degree that may be wished for. In the course of its being thus agitated it will absorb atmospheric air, and other elastic fluids with which It may come in contact. It will thus become a liquor, safe, palatable and whole­ some, to be obtained with little trou­ ble and expense, and accessible in its utmost perfection to the poorest in­ dividual. Those who wish to drink this wholesome beverage in its utmost perfection should, after having it boiled and filtered, cause it to be churned as above directed, then bot­ tled, with a couple of dried raisins in each bottle; this will give it a suffi­ cient quantity of fixed air. If then used it becomes truly delicious. Threw Bli Canee Away. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., April 7th. Mt. C. L. Smith of 309 Anne St, the Secy, of the Trades Council has writ­ ten this startling statement for publi­ cation./ "I feel it my duty to make public the facts of my recent illness and recov­ ery. I was very sick and sore, and had to walk with the aid of two canes. It was a very painful attack, but I don't know what it was. Some said it was Lumbago and others that it was Sciatica or Rheumatism. "I was told to take Dodd's Kidney Pills, and began a treatment. After I had used one box I could walk with one cane, and after two boxes were used I could walk without any help. I kept on and three boxes cured me completely. "I am now well and happy without a pain or an ache and I can very truly •ay that Dodd's Kidney Pills are worthy of my greatest praise." Hot Milk as a Tonic. *"*' The stimulating effects of hot milk are not yet sufficiently understood. One metropolitan physician uses hot milk and nothing else as a gargle in cases of acute tonsilitis. For an anemic per son, or one recovering from an illness, nothing better builds up and restores the tone of the system than a cup of hot milk between meals and before retiring. The milk should be hot, hut not boiling, and should be drunk as soon as it is Jieated. $33.00 TO PACIFIC COAST Chicago & North-Western R'y; dur­ ing the months of March and April $30.00 from Chicago to Helena, Butte, Anaconda, Ogden and Salt Lake City; $30.50 Spokane; $33.00 Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Ta- coma, Vancouver, Victoria and a large number of other points.

A tramp rang the door bell of Dr. Mary Morrison's house the other day, and when a pleasant-faced woman came to the door he asked her if she would be so kind as to ask the doctor if he had an old pair of trousers to give to a needy man. "I'm the doctor," said the smiling woman. The tramp fled.--Philadelphia Times. SOME WONDERFUL CROPS Df WESTERN CANADA. The Territorial Gorernment Report* Show Results Beyond Belief. Regina, Assinlboia, Canada, January 10th.--At the Agricultural Statistics Branch of the Department of Agricul­ ture for tne Territories, reports are now being received from grain thresh­ ers throughout the Territories, for statistical purposes. The reports are somewhat delayed this year, owing to the extensive crop and the delay in getting it threshed. The Department of Agriculture is leading the way in a new departure, with regard to the collection of crop statistics. In the older provinces, crop estimates are based entirely on the opinion of per­ sons Interested in the grain business who ought to be, and no doubt are, well posted upon the probable yields. Still the reports are simply a matter of opinion, in which a mistake may easily be made. The Territorial De­ partment however, has adopted the system of returns of crops actually threshed, upon which 1:> base their teports. The accuracy of the reports cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for they represent a compilation of actual threshing results. In this connection. It might be mentioned that the De­ partment is organizing a system of growing crop returns, which will be in operation next summer. The infor­ mation thus obtained, with estimated acreage, will be available for business men, banks, railway companies, and other interests which have to discount the future in making provision for the conduct of their business. The crop reports already to hand show some remarkable cases of ab­ normal development In the Regina district, many returns are given of crops of wheat running from 40 to 45 bushels to the acre. J. A. Snell, of Yorkton, threshed 28,000 bushels of oats from 450 acres, an average of 63 bushels per acre for a large acreage. W. R. it'otherwell, of Abernethy, threshed 2,650 bushels of wheat from a 50-acre field, an average of 53 bush­ els per acre. In the Edmonton district, T. T. Hutchings threshed 728 bushels of wheat from a ten-acre plot, ai average of nearly 73 bushels per acre. S. Norman threshed 6,950 bushels of oats from 60 acres of land,, an average of 116 bushels per acre. The publication of the actual yields or grain threshed will likely open the eyes of the people to the great capabil­ ities of the Western Canadian prairies.

The immense growth of London clubs ana of the opportunities afforded for games of chance may serve to re­ call an epigram which "Bentley's Mis­ cellany" attributed sixty years ago to Sydney Smith. He was at a Sunday dinner at Hol­ land House, when the hostess said that woman's passion for diamonds was surely less ruinous than iqan's pas­ sion for play at his club. Thereupon Sydney Smith took a card and wrote the following impromptu: Thoughtless that all that's brightest fades, Unmindful of that knave of spades.
