But what sacrifice would not the worst of us make to presorve the creature we love best in the world from dying before our cyes ? f "What wouid you have sald," he asekd, "if I hwd gomne to have breakâ€" fast at the Invercauld Arms in Balâ€" later, instead of coming on to you ?‘ The readers of Logberg have long been familiar with ihe virtues of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pilis through the well autuenticated secures published in these columns each week.

You didn‘t expect me, for one thing, anu London is a place where one must torn, on the table; the room, which seemed effeminately luxurious, after my sombre, threadbare old study, gave no evidence of bachelor desolation. It was just untidy enough to prove that "when a man‘s single he lives at his ease," for an opera hat and a soiled glove lay on tha chair a, new French picture, which a wife would have tabooed, was propâ€" ped up against the back of another, and on the mantelpiece was a royal disorder, in which a couple of pink clay statuettes ol pierrettes, by Van der Straeten, showed their piâ€" quant, highâ€"hatted, little heads, and their bvirille1, highâ€"lifted,littie wkir‘ts above letters, ash trays, cigarette cases, ‘"parts,‘ in MS., sketches, a white tie, a woman‘s long glove, the ‘proof" o%f an article on "The Caâ€" thedrals of Spain," and a heap of other things. in the centre stood a handsome â€" Chippendale clock, surâ€" mounted by signed photographs of Sarah Bernhardt, and a _ muchâ€"adâ€" mired Countess. Frosh hotâ€"house flowâ€" ersâ€" filled two delicate Venetian glass vasee on the table, longâ€" leaved green plants stood in the windows. 1 began to suspect that the femivine _ influence in Fabian Scott‘s. life was strong enough alâ€" ready, and I felt that any idea of amn appeal to a bachelor‘s sense of loneliness must _ straightway be given up. There was another point, however, on which I felt more sanâ€" guine. Fabian had no private means, his tastes were evidently expensive, and he had had no engagement since the summer. Having made up my mind that to marry my little Babiole to this man was the only thing that would restore her to health and hope (about happimess I could but be doubtful), 1 could not afford to skrink from the means. be a little mure carelul of one‘s pe havior than in the wilds. *‘*No, that is true, I did not expect you ; though when I heard your name 1 was so pleased I thought 1 must have been jiving on the expectation for the last month." 1 was looking about me, examining my friend‘s surroundings, feeling disâ€" couraged by the portraits of beautiâ€" ful women, photographs on the manâ€" telpiece, paintings on the walls, the invitation cards stuck in the lookingâ€" glass, the crested envelopes, freshlyâ€" "Out of signt, out of mind, accordâ€" ing to the simple old sayng." ‘"Not at all," he said, emphaticaliy. ‘"What is farcical comedy but burâ€" lesque of the most vicious kind ? Burâ€" lesque of domestic life, throwing ridiâ€" cule on virtuous wives and jealous husbands, making heroes and heroâ€" ines of men and women of loose morâ€" als ? What is melodrama but burâ€" lesque of incidents and of passions, fatiguing to the eye and stupefying to the intellect ? I repeat, art in England is a alshonored corpse, and the man who dares to call himself an artist and to talk about his art with agy more reverence than _ a grocer leels for his sanded sugar, or a violin seller for his sham Cremona&s, is wreated with the derision one would show to a modern Englishman who should fall gown and worship a mummy. I had been listening with one ear to Fabian, who never wanted much encouragement to talk. He treated me to & long monologue on the low ebb to which art of all kinds had suvdk in England, to the prevailing taste for burlesque in literature, on the stage, and for "Little Toddleâ€" kins" on. the walls of picture galâ€" leries. A "1 thought burlesque had gone out," 1 suggested. 1 n . m n t He turned upou me fiercely, having finished his breakfast, and being ocâ€" cupied in striding up and down the room. All which, being interpreted, meant that Mr. Fmbian Scott saw no im medlate prospec: oi an engagement good enough for his deserts. "Well, even if art is in a bad way, artists still seem to rub on very comâ€" fortably," I said, glancing round the room. "One finds a corner to lay one‘s head in, of course," he admitted, disâ€" dainfully ; "but even that may be gone toâ€"morrow,"‘ he added, darkly, plunging one hand into a suggestive heap of letters and papers on a side table as he passed it. "Bills? I asked, cheerfully. He gave mse a tragic nod and strode Fabilan swept the room with a conâ€" temptuous glance from right to left, as if it had been an illâ€"kept stable. "A girl with seven hundred a year mairry me, and an artist! My dear fellow, you have been in Sleepy Holâ€" low too long. You form your opinions of life on the dark ages." § O1. "You should marry," I _ ventured, boldly, "some girl with seven or eight hundred a year, for instance, with a love of art on her own account to support yours." Fabian stopped in frout of me with his arm# folded. He was the most unâ€" stagy actor on the stage, and the stagiest off, 1 ever met. He gave a short laugh, tossing back his head. "She is seventeen, the duughter of an artist, an â€" artist â€" herself by every instinct. HMer name is Babiole Ellmer,} 1 went on conposedly. Fabian started. "Babiole Ellm>r! Pretty liitle Baâ€" biole!" he eried, with â€" affectioniate luterest at once apparent in his manâ€" ner ; "but, he hesitated and {lushed slightly, "I doa‘t understand. The litâ€" tle girlâ€"dear little thing she,. was, I remember her quite well, with her coquettish Seotch cap and her everlasting biushes. She was no helrâ€" ess then, certainiy." "No, 1 don‘t," 1 said, very quietly. "I know a girl with eight hundred a year, who likes you well enough to marry you if you were to ask her." "These rapid modern railway jourâ€" neygâ€"a heavy break{fastâ€"with perâ€" haps a glass of cognac on an empty stomach"â€"murmured â€" Fabian, softly, gazing at me with kindly compassion. A bitter little thought of the manâ€" ner in which he would have treated her in that case crossed my mind. "I‘ve adopted her. 1 allow her e‘ght hundred a yeiar during my life, and of course afterwardsâ€"â€"" ‘"‘She is a most beautiful â€" ard charming girl," he said, after a pause, in a new tone of respect. Eight hundred a year and ‘"expectations‘" put such a splendid mantle of digâ€" nity on the shoalders of a little wild damsel in a serge frock. ‘"Do you know, I thought, Harry, you would end by marrying her yourself !" I only laughed and said, oh no, I was a confirmed bachelor. But it was in my mind to tell him how much obliged I felt for his contriâ€" bution toward my domestic felicity. mo#t ‘with indifference,â€"a prize for which one wold gladly have given twenty years of life. f I presently said that I had some business to transact, that I had to pay a visit to my lawyer.

A trace of cowardice strengthened this resolution, for I look upon & visit to a lawyer much as I do upon a visit to a dentist, with this difference, that the latter really does sometimes relieve you of your pain. while the former relieves you of ncthing but your money.

Only two years ago, at the end of ten months of the financial year, the bank‘s books showed a loss of over $1,000,000, an average â€" deficit of $100,000 a month, which fortunate gamblers had put into their pockets.

ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO If potato growers could only be led to reailize that late potato b{u;ht or rot cannot be cured, but can bo preâ€" vented, they woulid use Bordeaux miwâ€" ture more freely than they do. It is quite true that the late tlight is not an annual visitor, nevertheless no one can prophesy when it will put in an unwelcome appearance. After it makes its presence visible by the leaves turning brown and drying up it is too late to save the crop, for fungicides are only preventives, and not remedies. It does little it any good to apply them after the disease appears, and the spraying must be done before it can be known whether or not an outbreak will occur. Thus it is that if the blight does not apâ€" pear the money spent in spraying apâ€" pears to have been thrown away. Experiments not only in Canada but in the United States have demonâ€" strated that t whether the late blight prevail or not. The early blight is almost cerâ€" tain to appear, unless prevented, and its damage, not so noticeable in any one season, as that of the late blight, yet fully as great in the aggregate, may be almost wholly avoided by spraying. This disease causes the brown _ dead spots on the leaves, which are marked by concentric rings, and which sometimes affect so much of the leaf surface that the nutrition of the plant is seriously checked. For this disease, as for the late blight, Bordeaux mixture is an alâ€" most perfect preventive. Its proâ€" tective power would probably . be complete could each leaf be eatireâ€" ly coated with a thin layer of the deposited lime and copper sulphate, because the spores of the disease could then not find any vulnerâ€" able point. The nearer this comâ€" plete coating is obtained the more ;'-erfect will be the protection, and t can only be secured by spraying carefully with a fine nozzle. The Mixture Used. While Bordeaux mixture is not prisonous to inseets it is very disâ€" tasteful to them, and Paris Green combined with it can be more evenly distributed by the «sprayer than in any other way. The lime in the Bordeaux mixture will cause the poison ‘to adhere to the leaves so that its protective influence is thus strengthened and the prriod of its oefticacy prolonged. Flea bestles as well as the ordinary potato beetles can then scarcoly attack the leaves without being poisoned; and apâ€" pisd with the Bordeaux mixture Paris Green will not burn the foliage as it somctimes does when applied as a dry powder, or whon gimply mixed with water. Many authoriâ€" ties, too, believe that the Bordeaux mixture itself exerts a favorable inâ€" fluence up>on potato foliage not due to its effect up>n disceases or insects. These reasons combine in favor of using it on potators ; and in the exâ€" poriments made, the application of $ QUESTIONS OF ETIQUETTE. Will you please hcelp me with regard to a house wedcing ?

It is not necessary to shake hands exâ€" cepting with the hostess when saying goodby at a reception, and it would be out of place to do so at a dinner. How long before a wedding should a farewell party be given by the young lady to her girl friends? It will be very informal. Also, what should be served ?
