One can’t be comforted and deceived by any such pleasing epithet as bache- lor maid when one lives in Arcady. SpinIterhood is a grim tact. Betty dwelt in Arcady. She lived there with her aunt in a tiny tw0 room house and sewed from morning until night, sometimes far into the night. Betty didn’t mind work. There was something the did mind. though. It never occurred to the Arcadian:â€" for their hearts are kindâ€"that they made a pincushion of Betty and that the plus they eternally stuck into her. little pricks really meant for pleasant- ries, were to a soft eyed, tender, sensi- tive, brown little thing like Betty ac- tual stabs. Betty tried so hard not to mind. On her twenty-eighth birthnight she it! a courageous thing. At midnight she stole from the house to bury something very precious to her. In the blackness about her the wind shouted and Jeered. the rain dashed in her face. Half laughing, half sobbing, she put the beautiful thing deep in a heaped up mound of wet, dead leaves. Groping. her hand touched something that she knew to be a late white rose, and with shaking fingers she laid it on the fu- neral pile. She was never going to mind again. a One couldn’t mind after one’s youth was dead. She was going to be a cheer- ful and philanthropic pincushion for ' the rest of her days. Jeerlng at spin- Iters had been in fashion in Arcady ‘ long before her birth and bade fair to ; remain popular for some time after her ‘ death. i When she had slipped hack into the safeness and warmth of her tiny bed- room she stood long before the dingy, cracked mirror that never encouraged vanity and whispered: “You’re twenty-eight, and you’ve been to the funeral of your own youth. It would be mighty funny to folks if they knew-mighty funnyâ€"but they don’t. they don’t!” Betty sighed. Beyond her barrier mountains were cities where youth did Arcady didn‘t know that a romance had almost come into Betty's life. It knew that she had kept steady compa- ny with a lad about her own age some tw elxe years before; knew that one , afternoon they went buggy riding and that next day young Kimberly shook the dust of Arcady’ s main street from his shoes. but it attached no signifi- cance to the fact. The winter went. Spring came. The earth sWee ened with odors. It thrilled and quivered with expectancy. When the fresh little folded leaves burst their ’buds. Betty brought her machine out on her tiny porch. She sang as she “How DARE 1'01: SPEAK TO ME?" BETTY SAID FIEBCELY. not go so pitifully soon.

Betty flung back, disdaining the hand. She marched past him down the aisle and turned toward home, looking nei- ther to the right nor left. There was a murmur or laughter that grew as Kimberly strode after her. “How dared you speak to me?” said Betty fiercely. Kimberly had overtaken her in the quiet lane that led to her home. “Now, Betty”â€"his voice was firmâ€"“I’m not goin’ to put up with any of your tan- trums.

The words choked me, an’ I couldn’t get ’em out. Do you think it was a nice thing for you to do ?” “Do you think it was nice to give them to me?” Betty’s voice shook. Kimberly looked at her in amazement. “Didn’t you mean it ?” she asked. “I meant every word of it. Betty. I mean it now." Betty stiffened. _“I wanted the flowers to tell you, Betty. I thought they would._" “They did," Betty laughed shrilly. “Oh, I hate crabapple blooms, and I hate the month that brings them, and I hate the man that gave themâ€"crab- apple blossoms, that mean"... “What?” sternly. “As it you didn’t know!” scornfully. “What?” more sternly. “Don’t you know,” sobbed Betty, “that crabapples mean ‘I wouldn’t. wouldn’t have you if I could?’ ” Doubt went out of Betty’s soul at sight of Kimberly’s face, anda red rush of joy leaped to her brow. Kimberly opened his arms. Betty was never to be a plncushion again. A little brown bird. sore pressed by the chasing hawk. she swept into shel- ter with a glad cry. Early Glimpses of Greatness. The Union at Oxford must have been a fine school of debate for more than one student successful in after years v_v â€"'â€"â€"___ as public speakers. William Charles Lake, formerly dean of Durham, says in his memoirs that he has heard Lord Coleridge say: ‘ I AL___ vv---â€"vâ€"o_ , “Well, I 'have never heard better speaking anywhexe than I heard at the Unwn." Dean Lake recalls two speeches which he heard there at different times. When he was president of the Union an unknown gentleman commoner made a striking and very poetical speech. Especially memorable was his description of the Alps. “Who is this?” asked Lake. “Ruskin, a gentleman commoner of Christ Church,” was the answer. ‘ CDHSt UDUI‘CD," was Luv uuawcx. The Alps had already set fire to the imagination of the man who was to describe them as they never have been described by another man. â€"V-'â€"â€"w â€" On another occasion, some years lat- er, Lake heard a brilliant speech of quite a dltferent character. “Who was that?” “A young gentleman commoner just come up to Christ Church, Lord Robert Cecil.” r'fhis was Lord Salisbury, who be- came the great figure in public life which on hearing that boyish speech Lake predicted he would be. Music as a Study. The study of music is equal to the study of literature and languages as a means of intellectual growth, superior to the study of mathematics and in no way inferior to the study of the nat- ural sciences. It is more available and ‘ adaptable than the study of psycholo, ogy, because, while calling forth the intellectual powers, it engages the emo- tions and assures that condition nec- essary to the best development of thoughtâ€"viz, genuine enjoyment of the means employed. It strengthens the memory, calls rea- son into lively play, favors habits of exact thought, inspires the imagina- tion, enhances the perceptive faculty, facilitates physical expression, arouses the emotional nature, cultivates the esthetic principle and gives breadth of mental comprehension. In all these things music stands in the front rank of the sciences. if indeed it does not lead them all. Can any science do more as a factor in intellectual growth to develop the many sided nature of the man intellectual? now She loved Bill.

A somewhat unusual kind of Gov- ernment publication (a dictionary of altitudes in the Dominion of Canada.) has recently been issued by the Ot- tawa Department of the interior. Even a casual derusal of this volume on hilltops cannot fail to open the eyes of many. including those of "the oldest inbebitant.” The heights it need scarcely be said, are given in feet above the sea level, and the place names are arranged alphabetically in Province and territory groups For our purpose we shall begin with Ontario. where we are a little nonplussed to discover that the great. est altitude is reached by Tip-Top hill, which is said to be in Thunder Bay district, and the height of this appropriately-named. but, to us, wholly strange, hill is given at 2,120 feet. Next to it comes Thunder Cape, 1,950, thus soaring beyond Fort William’s knoll, Mt. McKay, by 350 feet. This must prove gratifying to the good pe0ple of Port Arthur, and correspondingly provocative to those of the other burg. It may surprise some of us to learn that next to these come Dundalk (South G'rey,) 1.700; Corbetton (Duf- ferin,) 1,661, and Melancthon (in the same country.) 1.66()', so that the ele- vation connecting these points forms the roofridge of the Western penin- sula. It is now in order for the Dun- dalkians to take advantage of the situation by the election of a pillar or some other conspicuous monument at the railway station to inform the travelling public that “This is the highest point in Southern Ontario. 1,700 feet above the level of the sea.” There are some scores of places above the thousand feet mark. but by far the larger number are in the low- er hundreds. the lowest possible level being that of Bainsville. in Lancaster township. Glengarryâ€"174 feet. the diflerence between which and 245 feet (nearly) will show the extent of fall in the St. Lawrence after it leaves Lake Ontario. 'l‘he agitation against the cigarette has deen revived and the good peOple are again up in arm against the little rotfinnail. To our mind the worst feature of the cigarette is the awful oader it gives to the breath of the smoker.
