Glittering carriages were rolling softly along the smooth pavement, and hundreds of women and children, clad in satin and velvet and flower-like fabrics, drifted with mingling hues along the avenue. The child forgot his rags, his bare feet, and crooked spine the look of delight began to deepen in his eyes then he saw that some started at him, that others scowled and pressed back tiieir costly silence, throat-clogging medium that filW the reek- i clothing to let him pass, and the Ught died to the_tongue-scaldmg, ^^^ ^^ j^-g f^^^^^ ^^^ ^^ shrank from side to ing, slippery streets, brain-maddening potions of the^ bar from distempered elements without and within to mental ruin and forgetfulness.

What animalism I What faces J What swallowing of fire By midnight Ae, bac^ room was a nnmb- ing "whirlpool of delirious feeling heat, sweat, rags, music, liquor, profanity, the bea.t and shuffle of feet, cries, and maudlin laughter. Look at the roads along which these lives had come threads running from under this lecherous roof to every quarter of the globe to cradles over the sea, to mother-bosoms north and south, east and west Did God, seeing it all, grieve that life had been made a thing so capable of ill or was the fault, somehow, society's At three o'clock in the morning they began to fight. In majiy the chords of sensation seemed eaten too raw for further pleas 'ire. Then some one was struck down, and the reeling, half -blind concourse seemed sudden- ly full of tigers. Men sprang upon each other two were killed, and a woman, divid- fng the polluted atmosphere with shrieks, was thrown, jumped upon, kicked and drag- ' ged into a dark side-room for dead. -Then, when too late, the Law stepped in, the place was cleared, and the undiscovered wo- man, drunk and battered with the coming of the dawn, yielded little Tim to the world, and her own debauched spirit to the mys- tery of death. Of such stuff are some reali- ties Out of such elements was fashioned little Tim It seems well-nigh a pity, into what sha- dow so-ever the mother had gone, that he had not followed her. But he lived a drunken negress saved him from death to a sadder fate. Into a nest of evil even more hateful than that wherein he saw his first glimmering, doubtful dawn, she carried him and all his earlier years were passed in gathering ra^s and bones, m stealiajj^ kbd being kicked; and cuffed, and beaten. Some- ' how his spine was weakened I know not if from that first dreadful hour, or by blows given afterward by those who used him much as one might the boot's toe to drive into and loosen garbage with. One could not easily have told how old he was, if the number of his years were eight or twelve, so cowed and deformed a spirit looked out of his blighted face. The yellow and green of putrid pools and gutters seemed settled in his skin, leaving it a palid olive, and his blue eyes had a cringing, frightened, furtive look. Away at one side of the roaring city, and in a leprous hovel at the river's edge, was where the first years went over him, merci- less, crushing, slow-moving in their passage. Often he turned sick when digging in tJie slimmering slime, and all his base surround- ings swam before him by times he fainted in his loathing and weakness, and was earn ed home and burned back to life again with liery liquor. The negress held his poor life as in a vise, and her home was a place of cursing, of theft, of fighting of drunkenness^ The child, like a weak worm under foot, used often to fight for his life, only to be the harder cursed. Oh it was pityful Yet here were thousands no better off than he i some worse and there beyond in the beauti- '• f ul city were other thousands, clothed silk- '• enly, fed richly, and bearing no heavier burden than time and, perhaps, too much of happiness Down into which region were the mournful eyes of the pitying Christ turned most often, think you But little Tim could not go on unchanged; mutation, which -makes and unmakes, but yet is nature's savior, opened at last a little fissure in his life, gave him one fatal glimpse of sweet and grateful light, then shut him out in darkness. He was ten years old then, yet, from lameness and his foster mother's cat like care, the child had never been beyond his fostering quarter, save in back alleys when gathering garbage at the misty hour of dawn, or Avhen carried or dragged thither at night upon some thieving errand by the negress' evil friends. They were numb with liquor that after- noon when he left this midnight mother and the white thug who was her consort, and he had been spumed into the attett, where^ lay a long time bruised attd^inll of pam. Then dizzy and cryfcg' he came away diz- zy from his hurt, and crying because he was leaving the little rag-matted hole under the stairway where he had always slept^ because he was parting from the hard Kices about him, the veiiomous a:eatnre who had Carved and beaten him, and her sunken, shambling hut Ah, he had never known ^se By day and by night, winter and sampler this had been his sSl, his world, his home Ponder it, you who sleep on down inchaoibers frag- rant and Uned with rose and gold 1 Sou who are all bot seo^etl -with ^^7 "va^jaot here a,sotd? â€" ^ywupoiiiittriH-eiwi*, stfved and mined, moving in bro^ia'-fiesh aeroee the Field of Leasons? side aud turned into a little park and hid It smelled sweet as heaven there among the blossoms, and he laj' quite still on the soft grass with his poor heart fluttering. Up above him he could see the deep, serene sum- mer sky, hung here and there with filmy loops of lace that seemed to burn with pink and crimson from the far-off Simset. It seem- etl tfj him he had never noticed it before that his hungry eyes had always been peer- ing into ditches and holes and filth, or blind with tears. How cahn and sweet it was here where the rich dwelt He could hear voices here and there from vine-wound porches fronting on the little park, and one, limpid and engaging, was saying near by, " Oh, I diaJl goto Dr. Easman's church. Do you" hot think his delivery beautiful It-restsme just to lopk at him he is so handsome, too " "Yes," said a silvery, affected voice in reply, "and he is «o gentls. He is quite unreasonable about his salary, though, they say will Eiccept but seven thcjusand It's too bad, he is so pleasant and handsome he cjuld surely do better thali that " Then little Tim saw a form garbed in blue, and capped and belted, come between him and the pe.aceful ^^ure of heaven, and he sprang up and ran, but was struck by a cane, and wavered and fell, ^nt ere the ofiicer's fat paW could secure him he was gone. The next avenue seemed fairer than the first, and was alive with beautiful humanity flowing on toward the churches. Down this with a little thread of blood trickling from among his matted cnrls, he ran likea hunted human animal, and coming to a larger park hid himself again, and lay, there sobbing while the shadows began to;gather and hud- dle and group, and the clear stars swarmed into the voiceless deep above him. Then in a little time he crept away and came into the broad avenue again, going he knew not whither. A huge church was just beyond him, radiant with light and colored glass, and he drew back with fear. But at that a great wave of music ^eiit ^th^liawing up through all the glowing structure, and the child's breath stopped and his grimy hands came together with a clutch. He had never heard other music than the banjo and drunk- en, ribald songs, save at long intervals the far-away playing of a band, aiid the soft thunder of this, the level, roll, and swell, and melting fall, drew him like a turning world. Clinging, but palpitant, he crept into the shadows by the wide arching entrance and listened. A stream of peoplie, jeweled, satin- ed, and prismic under the showering light, were passing in, but he could hardly see them, his blood was throbbing so. Sudden- ly there was a sweet melody a wave of human voices, strong, smooth, harmonious, that swelled and sank upon the undulating organ flood and charged the air with sym- pathy. It was stronger then the ragged child with lips parted and eyesbtm^y' he eaiter- ed. Oh.: Oh I what a te^tiful place music, light,, colot, and â- â- frit^Aince 'He stood bdwildered. Then su^Jdenly he felt himself softly pushed and heard a low menac- ing voice bid him quit the place, and he looked up at the stately, odorous usher, and shrank out of the great doorway into the shadows again. Then the music fell away into silence, and odors delicate and faint and sounds subdued and'restful floated out the splendid doorway past the child. Then a voice came with ihe odors â€" deep, even, mellow, and handled* like music. The minister was praying, but prayer to little Tim was something all un- known. Like words that were nowerik it drifted by him, a long train of soft melodi- ous clauses. He could not understand it, but he felt its beauty.

Kovel Experience of Six Ottawa Yonthsap the CSatlneau. About ton days ago a party of six young men rejoicing in the respective cognomens of Donald Stewart, Sandy Stewart, Timothy Harvey, Jack Harvey, Morris Quain and Isaiah Little, went about thirty-five miles up the Gatineau river for the purpose of either finding or shooting whatever came in their way. Arrived at their destination they went to the country store to lay in some supplies and there encountered a habi- tant iu the worst stage of excitement pur- chasing some bullets. It was learned on enquiry from the store-keeper that the habi- tant, who kept a farm back about three miles, had come across a she bear and two cubs maurauding in his oat field. He had chased the bear, but on seeing hini approach she stood on her hind legs and faced him. As his gun was only loaded with buckshot he fired the shot at her head and then fled, coming to the store for ammunition. The six youths were anxious, for a little bear shoot- ing, just to get their hand in, and so asked the farmer t» let them go with him, which he consented to do on the express stipula- tion that whoever shot the bear it must be his. In due course the oat field was reached and the bear and her cubs traced to the neighboring bush. The party separated to stalk her, but just then she smelt them the previous shot had blinded her so she could not see, and she bore down toward them. Three of the youths endeavoured to seek a friendly tree, but there was none near. Fin- ally bruin fell to the rifle of the habitant, wMle the two cubs were shot by the picnic- ing party between them. Bears are said to be unusually numerous in that vicinity, while fish are so plentiful that they can be almost lifted out of the water wholesale by a basket. â-  â- !â€" 1 Women and Money. Every girl who is not entirely dependent on her male relations â€" a position which, considering all the ups and downs of his life, the sooner she gets out of the better-^ ought by the time she is old enough to pos- sess any money to know exactly now much she has, where it is invested, and what it ought yearly to bring in. By this time also she should have acquired some knowledge of business â€" bank business, referring to checks, dividends, and so on â€" and as much of ordi- nary business as she can. To her information of apractical kind never comesamiss, especial- ly the three golden rules, which have very rare exceptions No investment of over 5 per cent, is really safe tiust no one with your money without security, which ought to be as strict between the nearest and dearest friends as between strangers and lastly, keep all your affairs from day to day in as accurate order as if you had to die to-morrow. The mention of dying suggests another neces- sity â€" as soon as you are 21 years of age make your will. You will not die a day the soon- er you can alter it whenever you like while the ease of mind it will be to you, and the trouble it may save to those that come after you, are beyond telling. It ean- not be too strongly impressed upon every girl who has or expects that not undesirable thing, " a little income of her own," what a fortunate responsibility this is, and how use- ful she may make it to .others. Happier thMi the lot of many miarried women is that â- 6f the "unappropriated blessing," as I have heard an old maid called, who has her money, less or more, in her own hands, and can use it as she chooses, generously as wisely, with- out askmg anybody's leave, and bemg ac- countable for it to no one. But then she must have learned from her youth upward ity runmng through it, the tender pleading, ' how to use it, and she must not spare any j the pathos, and gentle adoraticm sent a great â-  amount of trouble in the using of it, and she wave of loneliness across hjim a kind of must console herself for many a lonely re- gretâ€"we are but human, all of us !â€" with the thought that she has been tmsted to be a steward of the Great Master.

An improvement on the 0I4 ""^y o^ mak- ing jeUyis to heat the sugar before adding to the juice. Time is saved and the jelly is mach clearer. Aftei- straining the juice, measure it and put on the stove to beat. Allow a pint of sugar to a pint of jnice. When the juice comes to a boil, put in hot sugar. Three to five minutes' boiling will finish the jelly. It is a too common practice in many farmers' families to bum the feathers of fowls killed for the table, under the idea that they are not worth saviiig. Chicken feathers are quite valuable. They do not make so soft a bed as those of the eoose or duck, but are supmor for pillows, where too much elasticity is not healthful or comfort- able. They have, besides, too much manur- ial value to be wasted, being very rich in am- monia. The coarser feathers should be thrown into the manure heap, where their decomposition will add largely to its value. And that reminds me, girls, Sf you want your frizzes to stay just wet th4m with toarm castile soapsuds when you. pJBlt rthem up. They will stay ever so much longer than when wet with clear water, and it does not injure the hair either. But you needn't friz, or bang, or crimp, or curl your front hair unless you choose. If you please you can" comb your hair straight back from your forehead, and, pro^aded that style is becom- ing, you will be just as fashionable as you would with the fringe of waved or f rized hair in front. •»ch pound nf ♦» boil till nearlv Tz •** IWTJil ip m jars it nee^^ "Sfc^i^W ^benioreS»Jl*5r;!!, The sayine •« a- "'" nian's poisoi' 'â-  ^* "'« la,., foUow^ii^Weaai^kJ cl^ of one nat^.^S»*4Ji3 wholly unpalatable J, J^ •«»d!*' pense.
