It doesn’t make any difference what kind of weather comes along, whether it blows hot or cold, those rei- iows have to stand at their post and swelter or freeze, as the case may be. Naturally all those changes are pretty hard on their hide, and none but bears can stand the strain. Some furrier: have tried the fox, the lynx and other animals now and then at a venture, but they have mostly come back to the bear ”the most satisfactory of the lot. They cost more too. A good stuffed bearcomesashigh asm,bnt1fhei,l treated well he will last for twenty. the years, ”that bring him down to e comparatively low price after all.” The Reason They Are Used us Signs by the Furriers. The man who comes to New York only orce in ten years said he could not understand why the bears in (.‘en. tral park seemed so much more stuck up than the rest of the animals. but after he had traveled about town for several days he saw through it. It was because 99 per cent of the furriers in town have chosen a big black bear for an advertising sign. Why the other an- imals in the zoo should be so discrimi- nated against puzzled the man not a little. One day he asked a turriex about it. “It is because the bears last longer “You may count on me,” he answered as he passed through the palace door. “I will bring old Paulpoff to tell the truth.” I She sped into Jansky’s room and re- placed the keys in his pocket. Then, returning, she said: “God bless you! Help me establish the truth. and the gratitude of the Ne- slerovs will be yours.” “Then look for him there, and if he is gone the governor general will help us find him. Oh, I wish De Muloff w ould come!” “Now go,” she said. “Find Paulpofl and bring him here. You know where hei s. ” “He is still in the but at Tivolotfsky, if Jansky has not spirited him away.” “Ah,” she exclaimed, peering at him closely, “and for her-for her sake- you wanted to publishâ€"the truth?” “Yes. and for his sake also.” “Then he is not the only one who loves her, this American girl,” she said. His face became flushed, but he did not answer. “Because,” he answered after a slight pause, “Miss Gordon, whom I have known for a long time, loves Vladimir, and I think Vladimir loves her.” “And now you are free! Why did you take this interest in the mystery of Graslov?” “Yes. He told me all, anEl I was about to start for Perm with the por- trait of Princess Alexandra when I was arrested by Jansky and brought here!’ “Quick!” said Olga. “Let us under- stand each other. Therese, who is here as my attendant, is the widow of a servant of the Graslov householdâ€" loyal to the old duke. She is willing to tell the truth. Has Paulpofl spoken?" They hurried to the stairs. The door was relocked, the iron key hung in its accustomed place and the door to the guardroom unbolted. The halls We e still lighted by the brilliant Dips of the fete, though daylight was co ing on. But there was no one stirring. his protection till we' can give him justice!” “I cannot find him, and I believe he is safer than you will be it Neslerov traps you here. Neither you nor I will ever get out alive. We must leave “Return! From Perm?” “No. Perm is too far. I have work- ed to bring the denonement in the pal- ace. I have sent a message to the governor general at Tobolsk. I have with me a woman whose testimony is worth millions. All we need now is what Papa Paulpofr can tell us. You must bring him.” “I will.” ,He tried to and some clew to the place where Vladimir was incarcer- ated, but there was nothing to guide “Find him if you can.

Jansky, superintendent of police, is lying drunk in his office, and Itzig, the guard, is also unconscious. The superintendent will be discovered and there will be an uproar. It will spoil all if we are now discovered." “No; I do not know where they put him. I know It was not near me, for l have been calling him.

The pastor of St. James’ Church. Montreal. Rev. J. W. Graham, is also aflected by the decision, as it has been customary for years for the preacher to wear a gown. In other churches, including Sherbourne street Church, of this city, there are gown- ed choirs, but they will not ”be pro- hibited unless a special case is taken against them. The members of the court who heard the case were: Messrs. N. W. Row- ell. K. C., R. J. McLaughlin, K. 0., Judge Maclareu. Prof. Mills, layman; and’Revs. Dr. Shaw, J. S. Ross, T. G. Williams, S. F. Huestis, A. Lang- ford. J. C. Antlifi. The absentees were Justices Britton and Chesley. The matter was discussed for over three hours before the decision was reached. Dr. Rose was present throughout. ' The question came up on the ap- peal of Rev. Dr. Rose, of Ottawa, from the finding of a church trial which was held at Cornwall under Rev. Dr. Benson. president of the Montreal Conference. The trial took place at the request of ministers of the Ottawa district, who called in Dr. Benson to preside, as Dr. Rose Was the president of his own district. The verdict at the trial was that Dr. Rose should give up 'his gown and make a public statement to his con- gregation. This he ‘declined to do until his appeal had been decided. The higher court to day adjudged that the use of the gown was contra ary to the usage of the Church. ‘ The gowned minister will not be tolerated in the Methodist Church of Canada. This was the decision of the Court of Appeal, the highest Church tribunal, at the meeting held last week. Rev. Dr. Rose, of Ottawa. Must Give up His Gown and Make a State- ment to His Congregation. Word of the joke was passed around town. and all day Mr. Mc- Sbane was kept busy answering tele- phone Calls. Just as Mr. McShane was getting rid of the last expressman. by stren- fuously announcing that he never had any intention of moving, an oficer of the Salvation Army walked up the front steps, and in answer to Mr McShane’s question, he stated that he had been requested to call on Mr. McShane and assist him towards conversion. Mr. McShane angrily eXplained to him that he had been ill- treated. and was sorry that he also had been the victim of a joke some of his friends had tried to play on him on account of it being the first of April. Mr. McShane. who lives on Uni- versity street, one of the principal residential streets of this city, was called down stairs shortly after eight o’clock, as there were a number of expressmen who had been sent to move his furniture. From then till ten o’clock Mr. McShane was kept busy, for no less than twenty-eight expressman, some to move the piano, others the plants, and others the furniture, pulled up in front of the residence in anticipation of a day’s work.
