"The position is not comparable to Craigdarâ€" roch, and it must be cold and bleak enough in winter. But I suppose no one stays here in winter." 3. "I fancy my uncle will," said Mona, "and I cannot say I like the prospect. I shall try and get leave of absence for a few woeks, to pay a visit to Madame Debrisay." "Who may she be?"

"I think Lady Marchmont was quite taking care of herself. Lisle is just an ordinary man of the worldâ€"a â€" little above the average in inteligence," said Mrs. Menteith. The dinner was pleasantâ€"even noisyâ€" as most of the men were young and inâ€" clined to discuss their adventures easily. Mona was taken in by an honestâ€"lookâ€" ing naval captain, who made himself very agreeable; and Lisle fell to the lot of a frisky widow with whom he flirted giily. Everard and Miss Morton quarreled audâ€" ibly. "I really think Captainâ€"IL mean Sir St. John Lisle, can be frightfully rude. He was always one of the most conâ€" ceited and heartless of men. You reâ€" member the affair of Lady Marchmont; he really threw her over scandalously." The young heir was paraded, and his health drank; and after dinner Lady Fiffâ€" istoun and her sisterâ€"inâ€"law went up to look at him in his cot. Then Mona was reminded that she used to sing, and was sent to the piano, where she was surâ€" rounded by some of the gentlemen as soon as they came in from dinner. The attache complimented her on her renderâ€" ing a Volkslied, and talked to her for a few moments in German. In truth, the walts was one that brought back tgq Mona painfully eweet Shd sad mentories. It was agsociated F her mind with a certain BVening when It had first dawned upon her thi”ngl]e, of whom she stood a little in awe, sought her with a lover‘s warmth and tenderâ€" ness. From that moment all the romance of her nature clung not round him, but the golden image o? him which her fancy had set up! He was still, exteriorly, her ideal, and she could have wept over the destruction of her lovely dream. Beyond this, the music recalled her kind, tyrâ€" annical grannie, the sad scenes whfth preceded her death, above all, Leslic Waring, and all the pain she had inflictâ€" ed on him. His face came back to hor as it looked when they partedâ€"the boyâ€" ish, plump, goodâ€"humored countenance, made manly and dignified by sufâ€" fering gallantly borne; and he had no mother or sister to comfort or support him. Like most warmâ€"hearted girls, Mona had a great idea that every woâ€" man should be "Our Lady of Consolaâ€" tion" to her kinsfolk and acquaintance. "My dear Miss Morton, it is nearly four years since I bounded on the light fantastic toe,‘ said Lisle coolly, "and I am not, Miss Craig will tell you, equal to conduct you through the mazy dance. I am longing to have a cigar in the garden," and he strolled away. "If you can spare Sir St. John," cried Miss Morton, suddenly standing _ beâ€" fore her, " 1 have suffered enough at the hands and feet of an incompetent partner, and I want a few really good turns befort the delightful waltz stops." Then Lisle, who had not been near her since they had arrived, came close beâ€" hind her, and said in a low tone: "Was it?" said Mona. (How well she remembered that last happy evening at the Chase!) "I am afraid I can hardly manage it without the music, but I‘ll try." pleasantâ€"mannered woman, with a degree of miiltary decision in her tone. She had married a light dragoon of moderate means, and had never regretted it. It was the thought of Waring more than anything else that brought _ the tears to her eyes. How little Lisle could have followed the interweaving of her thoughts. Yet she knew he had felt to a certain degree with her from the inâ€" stant he had put his arm around her. Yet it was with a kind of tender regret that she felt she could never trust iim again. To Mona the absence of trust implied the death of love. "May I ask you for Tosti‘s Goodâ€"bye, Summer? It is the last song I heard you She succeeded in singing it sweetly and correctly, but she might have put more expression into it. ‘Thank you," said Lisle, shortly. "I don‘t think you sing as well as you did. You used to give that in a much more melting style formerly," cried Evâ€" erard. Bo Lisle put bis arm round her, holdgâ€" inÂ¥ her to him more éYos’Elgy ?f\un was abâ€" solutely necessary, and they swung round in time to the music. Mona, howâ€" ever, soon declared that it was so lon, since she had danced, that she felt tireg and giddy almost immediately, and disâ€" engaéing'herself from her partner, sat down beside Mrs. ._\Icn_teitfl_,_a plain, Lisle stood by her for some time watching for an opportunity to talk to her unhcard by others, but none offered. No doubt, so long as the softness and impressiounability does not bore my lord her master, or worry him with tears and woes, when his own tenderness flows away from him into new channels. "Sorry I have deteriorated," said Mona, goodâ€"humoredly, as she took up her gloves ,and left the piano. "Shall we follow this wild example?® 1 have scarcoly danced since we waltzed together at the Chase. Will you trust yourself with me?" "Yes," returned Mona, in a low voice. Something in its tone made Lisle look attentively at her; he saw, to his great surprise, that her large, dark, liquid eyes were full of tears. What had affected her? _ lHe could not remember having heard the waltz before; was it associated with any special memory in Mona‘s mind or with that possible "he" who may have filled the piace he bhgd vyoluntarily vaâ€" cated? At any rate he was conscious of a great longing to kiss away the tearsâ€" to hold her in his armsâ€"to make her confess she bad loyed him onseâ€"to proâ€" mise that she would love him again. %hc was not refrigerated and indifferentâ€" she was as delightfully tender as ever. How charming a soft, womanly woman wasâ€"a gentle, impressionable woman! _ The German attache sat down uninâ€" vited, and after rattling off a brilliant morceau, glided into an inspiriting waltz. After tapping her foot for a minute or two, Miss Morton boldly invited one of the younger men, a boyish Northumbrian squire, to dance with her, and they were soon gyrating in the hall, the floor of which was polished oak, the open door Kermitting the music to be distinctg eard. _ Lady Finistoun followed wi her brotherâ€"inâ€"law, and Lisle, who had been talking with his host, ceased to speak, after listening for a few minutes, and, crossing to the doorway where Mona was standing. said: _ i No & ba "What! that little thing?" exclaimed Nuritch.

ONTARIO ARCHIVEs TORONTO In teaching the girls the artistic way ‘to hang pictures I not only instruct $them in the actual placing of prints on the walls, but the hbeight from the | floor at which they show to best adâ€" vantage, in small as well as large rooms, how they should be placed in relation to the doors and so arranged that they make a nice "balance," that is, a large picture hunfi in a wide, open “sroa can be well balanced by two or } three small ones put in a group or in a horizontal panel, says a writer in the lNe}f York Telegram. i e l Pictures should be hbung with wires | that are as invisible as possible so that ‘they will not in any way take the eye from the subject. I think that . two { vertical wires should be used instead of one that is arranged in oblit}ue lines, ; for the straight wires give a fecling of rest, while the others cause action or ! motion. In a low room they should , be bung near the ceiling and yet on a level with the eyes, so that there will , be no effort to see the details by glancâ€" ing either up or Jown. _In rooms with { high_ceilings Q\? % Tourse, placed & ‘Toot ‘or sixteen inches below the | moulding, if the latter is low. Then there is the background to be considered and the light in the room, as well as the frames that surround the subjects and the choice of prints, etc. They shoud have some nice relation to each other, to the surroundings and to the uses of the room, for the wall decorations should be as different in subject as the various apartments in houses. Each should be so distinctive that any one would know instinctively from the pictures which was the library and which the living rooms. _ X In bedrooms the pictures used for decorations should, in my opinion, be quiet and restful. Such pictures as Raphael‘s _ Madonnas are» in keeping with the room and the general surâ€" roundings. _ Whistler‘s Mother, is anâ€" other n:sroprhte subject, while peaceâ€" ful landscapes are always in good taste. _ The living room is the only apartment in which there is no hard and fast laws governing the selection of the subjects, and there anything is I think that a ltr:mg, bold picture, such as a Rembrandt, should be bhung high, just as one with a good perspecâ€" tive, while those with a great tre.al of detail should be placed near the level of the eyes, particularly if they are not very large. To begin with, the background should first be considered, for it either adds to or detracts from the pictures. The plainer the wall paper or paint the better the decorations will show. An invisible design is always to be pre ferred to a large, bold one in loud, glaring colors and it â€" cshould be reâ€" membered that in a sunny room a coo! color, such as a dull green or a grey blue, makes the best background, while in a dark apartment warm tones are best, a yellow brown or a light rose. ,fl{hg most difficult problem for Ithe irls to master was in filling a large E;»ec \‘vi& fi picture and several small ones so tlul“ehg{l ’%‘@ show the feeling of balance. Tt Was Burg for them to realize at first that small pltâ€" tures, unless well grouped, caused ypâ€" rest and confusion, while they were to arrange them so that they would have a quiet restful effect, In a space la; enough for one large picture ln?ea fi:'oup of smaller ones I taught them that enough space should be left between the single print and the group to allow each one to make a clear and definite impression before the eyes were attracted to the other. In uping three pictures, small ones, ofr:ouru-, in a straight line make a good balance, while a diamond group, with two at the top and one beneath, or one at the tog‘ and two under is attractive as a balance to the large picture. Ideas to Bear in Mind When for fevrent Rooms. With a satisfactory groundwork for the decorations, the next step is in the selecting of frames. These should be of a shape and color that correspond with the subject and that throw the details into bold relief, but never so conspicuous as in any way to detract from the painting or print. As far as possible the middle tone of the subject should be carried _ out in the frame and the mat, if one surrounds it. For oil }nlntngs a simgle gold â€"frame is preferable, but it should _ be of some shade that is used in the subject, so htat it bears some actual relation in eolor. HANGING PICTURES. Eermiuible, from a poster to the famâ€" y portraits. But there should be no confusion and the tone of the room should be restful rather than exciting, despite the fact that many of the picâ€" tures will bear no relation either to each other or to their surroundings. In a library, pictures of poets, arâ€" tists, authors, their homes and archiâ€" tectural ;tilltl are in z:od feorm. For the hall I personally li laster casts, but one or two of these pgnod several feet apart on a broad empty . «pace gives the apartment an appearance that is entirely unsatisfactory and in stead of decorating the walls _ they make them look unfinished. _ Plaster casts well grouped at about a level with the eyes or a trifle below it are mose _ appropriate.

Several girls who roomed with ‘their sisters could have only one corner to put up their pictures as they wished, while others had one side of the room they shared and made the most of it by hanging the prints in harmonious relation â€" to each other and in keeping with the surroundings as far as was possible.

The Sun 2,000 Times as Solidâ€"Calculaâ€" tions Made by Professor See. In the Al;?uoumcho Nachrichten for July, 1906, Prof. T. J. J. See, United States Navy, gives the results of an investigation be bas been making of the rigidity of the earth and other heavenly bodies, by mathematicall proâ€" cesses depending wholly on the theory of gravitation. This line of investtigation was begun in 1863 by Lord Kelvin, who sought to deterâ€" mine the rigidity of the earth from observaâ€" tions of the tides of the oceans,. It was thought that if the earth proved to be highly rigid,. the result would contradict the theory long held by geologists that the earth is a globe of molten matter enclosed in a thin erust like the shell of an eg£. In the case of the earth he says we cannol well conceive of currests in matter more rigld than granite, and in the case of the sun a rigldity of tweptyâ€"two times that of nicke! steel, quiy oneâ€"tenth of the way to the centre, makes circulation of currents below that Gepth likewise inconceivable. steel Many geologisis hAve held that liquid ourâ€" nts exist in the earth; and astronomers flu,?gn eccustomed to assume that fluid currents in the sun descend almost to its centre.

Lord Keivin reached the conclusion that the earth as a whole is certainly more rigid than glase, but perhaps not quite as rigld as About 1880 Prof. George Darwin took up the investigation. By carcful study of the fortrightly tides the found the earth to be more rigld than steel. ‘This was hbeld to show that the earth could not be a sphere of liquid covered by m thin crust; and geoâ€" logists had to change their theorigs so a* to conform to a globe as rigid @s steel.

Prossure directly increasos the fluid friction of mm. currents and tends to b -;:“ to rest. Many geol ve held that Houid ourâ€" is used in the armor of a battleship. Dr. See proves that the rigidity of the eBrth‘s crust is about equal to that of granite. which is oneâ€"sixth that of steel; and that toward the cent{, the rigidity rapidly jnâ€" creases. _ At the earth‘s centre the it prisoned matter is at an enormoU®ly high temperature, yet under tha tremendous presâ€" sure there at work. kept three times more rigld than the nickel steel used in the armor of a battleship. His new method can be applied also to the other plants. It turns out that the rlfulu of Venue is greater than that of pla lxl. and. most likely, about identical with at of wrought iron. ‘The rlstdity of Mars is about equal to that of gold, while the rig‘4â€" ity of Mercury, the moon and .w- satelâ€" lities, is about equal to that of L vertical column of “.l]flfl!fl! s long lrdllfogt fih ‘&‘Sisn ncinco‘.' ind By considering the pressure throughout the whole earth Prof. See finds that even if fluid the globe would have a rigidity greater than that of wrought iron.

Dr. Barâ€" rell writes to the Academy of Medicine, Paris, giving out a new theory of the origin of cancer. According to him, the cancer worm, if such it may be called, lays its eggs in refuse, which in the country districts lies often not far from the springs from which the water for drinking and gardening purposes is drawn. This water, mixed with food Or drink, is contaminated, the caneer microbe introduced into the gystent lodges in certain corners of the body and sets up a cancerous growth. The theory is novel, but it does not fit well into some known facts regarding cancer, which is true of many theories. The Chicago Chronicle estimates that it would take $13,500,000,000 to buy out the railways of the United States. That is a pretty big sum of money. Wonder if they pay taxes on that valuation? Owing to custom requiring the workers to attend the funerals of all anthracite miners who meet death by accident, it is said over $1,000,000 wages were lost last year.
