Her cutle, which waa bidlt of pore gold, with windows in it of the rareat and moat brilliant of diamond*, waa hidden beneatii the noiay warea of the atream. Here, nndemeath the water's snr- faoe, Olinda Qaanda Uved among a large nomber of other fairies, who all of them were lenranta. Only onoe a year would Olinda Qaanda and her senranta leave the solden caatle be- neath the forest stream, ana that was in the beginning of the spring, immediately after the ice had disappeared from the water and the snow had been driven from the ground and the trees by the warm rays of the nvm. That was a very bnsy time for the fairies, because th»y left their honse for a very im- portant purpose. In short, they went thronghont the vast area of Olinda Qsanda's domiidons to plant the seeds for all the beautiful flowers that grew within the wide Vood. Flitting over the ground, they dropped a seed here and another one there, and thus the anemones, the wood-sorrels, the woodruffs, the dog woods and all the other beauties that grow beneath the shade of the forest foliage were brought to life. The world had again laid off the heavy mantle of snow and ice the dreariness of the woodland had already disappeared to make room for a soene of animation and a spring-like aspect ^e little birds had again returned to their treea from the village barns, their places of refuge from hunger in the cold and pltUesa winter, and Olinda Qaanda waa makhig preparationa as well for her annual trip through her eatate. As usual thb waa a busy day for the fairies, because it was quite a laborious taak to get all the seeds for the many flowers ready. Bat at last every- Uiing was in shap«, and the flight of the fairies commenced. Olinda Qaanda aa the Qieen, of course, led the train and soon ttiey were again in the midst of thdr occc- ^tlon. Saadenly, however, Olinda Qaanda was startled by the sight ot a sleeping young man, whose form lay acru;a ber course, under a hawthorn bush. She let out a scream of surprise, and immedialely the young man opened his eyes. When he be- held the many beautiful faces of the fairies around him, and especially when h« looked Into the eyes of the lovely Olinda Q landa, he became bewildered at the dazzling eight before him. But when the fairy Q^een again looked at the young man, whose face was veiy handsome, she ordered her aer- vants to cbntinue at their woik while she remnined and talked to tho stranger. "How did you come into thb lone wood V she asked the younir man. For a moment the sleeper oould not flad hia power of speeohj so much was he overcome by the sudden apparition of the beautiful Olinda Qaanda. But her looks and manner made such a reassuring impression upon him that he felt she waa well deserving of hb oonfid enc9. " I am a very unfortunate young man, ' he at last burst forth, "because I have loss my bride, a young maiden as beautiful as you are. I am disconsolate, because I do not know how I shall ever be able to recover her." "Will you not tall me how you lost her Ma^^ I can help you to find her," said the liiiy. " My power b great, and I have many servants at my command." " Well,' replied the young man, " I will tcill you, thocgh I do not see how you can help me. ]^am the prince of a snreat kingdom. Ihe lands of my father, the King, are many, and hb soldiers and generab number bun. dreds of thonsanda. My mother, however, died many years ago, and my father ha* since brought another Qaeen to our court, a woman who b as wicked as she b without a heart or affection. From the moment she entered our caatle she showed a great dis- like to me. Of course, knowing that my father waa very f ona of me, she never gave any open evidence of her lutred toward mo, but she never ordtted to harm me secretly. I must also tell you that she b a great witch and soroereis, and she b so clever in ber devilLh arts that my father b completely under her control, and it would be hard for any one to prove to my father how bad hu wifeb. "It so happened, however, that I fell in love with the Princess Amalda, the daughter of the King who rsigna in the country nrxi: to my father's dominion. Now Amalda waa renowned the worid ever for her unequalled boMity and the great oharm of her lovable disposidon. When my stepmother heard, therefore, that I proposed to bring Amalda to our castle as the future Qaeen she at onoe attempted to persuade my father not to lanotton the marriage. It b not necessary for me to ssy that she succeeded, but she never expected that I would form an im- portant obstacle. When I was told that I must not marry Amalda I swore that I would do so in spite of everything, and at last my father told me secietly that he h%d no obj iction. That waa all I wanted. The nez!i uay I went to Amalda's home, married her and started on my way back to my father's castle. "We had already travaled over tbrea fotirths of our journey, when one day we hiikd to halt in a deep wood, because Amalda was very tired and hungry from the exertions of the journey. Whiie wa were reotiag under a tree and I was contemplating what eo do to get some foodâ€" I had sent our servauta already to the nearest t«wn to purchase something â€" an old and ugly woman cime hobbling along ibo path on a stick. When ahe saw us b appoached, and, looking very shup at AnuUda, she said " Well, my ptett little dove, what aib yon!' Bafwe I osnld speak and tell the old crone to. go about har fcuaiasss, AmaMa re- l^i*«* tbacshe »aa awfcUy boagry.

'â- N^w, I did not tnut the old woman, and I hWted for i moment, but when I'loeked at my beantlfnl Amalda, who was almost fafet with hunger, I «!ot up, and leading Amidda along, we followed the old hag, who took US into a dilapidated, tnmfale-down log-' cabin not far oil When we.arrived there,^ she-got some vegetables firem a onpboard, which I now remember were turnips. She handed apbtefnl of thb food to Amalda, who waa ao hanarry that ahe ate them. But, alas t no aooaar had she swallowed a mouth- ful of theaa tnmips than she fell to the floor of the cabin, her lovely fomahriveled to- gether. Bvsrytiiing before me dbsppeared â€"witch, oabin, Anudds, and allâ€" wid when I looked aronnd again I nw notiiing else ex- oeptatnmip. Of oonne yon oan ima^^e my rage and anger. I waa nearly frantic. I was about to grind tliat tnmlp Into tlie ground with my heel when a sadden thought prompted me to jicik it up and take it with me aa a memento of my last Amalda. I ran away from the plaoe Stressed, and I have been hunting all over the world to hnd a trace ofmybrlde, of thewitoh, or of the cabin, but all in vain. Naw yon know my story, can yen help me, do von think " *Have yon still got that turnip f asked Olinda Qunda. "Yes, here it b," repUed the prince, taking it from hb pocket. "Well, then, dig a hole right here and plant the tarnip," the fairy commanded the young man, who mechanically obey^. Then, after he had covered it up with:e)a'^, Olinda Qaanda stooped down over the plaice where the turnip was buried and blew at the spot. Immedbtely the ground^ be^an to move, then it opened up, and within a few seconds a torm grew up from the ground which resembled in every particular the shape of a woman. More and more it grew, and before very long a lady as beautiful as the fahry herself stood before the astonbhed young prince. " Is it possible " he cried. " Hese b nty Amalda, my beautiful bride brought to life again!" "Yes," now said Olinda Quanda, "itb your bride, and no witch, however powerful, will be ever able to harm her again Bat I know who was the witch yon met in the woods " "Who was she " eagerly asked the Prinoe. "It b your stepmother. But you hurry home and she will not escape from punbh- ment." The prince and Amalda departed, thank- ing the kind fairy over and over agafai for what she had done. When the two arrived at the house of the prince the stepmother stood at the castle- gate, but no sooner did she see and recognize Amalda than she fell down dead. The Dawn of Aican OiTilization Events are avidently hastening on the day when the " Dark Continent " will bo no longer an unknown land. The amount of attention which b just now being concen- trated from many points upon the iutcior of Aftiaa if, to use a much-abnaed term, phenomenal. The operations of the German Commercial Company and expeditionary forces those of the British £*st African and the newly charttred South African Companies the late blockade of the Zacz! bar Coast the powerful crusade which has been preached over Earopq by Cardinal Livlgerie the Anti-SUvery Congrees which is JQSt now sitting, as a result, at Brussels^ and last, but not least, the return of Stan- ley with the remnants of hia expedi'.ion and she heroio Emin Bay, from hb marvellous trip into and through the very heart of the hitherto, unexplored region all theEO things may be taken as so many prophesies of com- ing events, involving the fiaal opening up of the interior of the last great unknown land on the earth's surface. What may be the f xt^nt and naefulneas of the new diacoveries made by Stanley and hia brave crow can be known only when he hab had time to collect and give to the world the records of his traveb. Bat what man has done man can do. The scond expedition will have immense advantages over the first, and it can scarcely be doubted that Stanleys great exploits will be known to history as the first of the series of explorations and en- terprises which finally threw open to the world the habitable parts of Central Africa. It will not, however, be to the credit of European civilization if motives of humanity do not, in the present and the immediate future, outweigh all commercial and scienti- fic considerations. The atrocities of the Arab slve trade, as they are little by little revealed to the horrified world, almost sur- pass conception or beliet. If ever there was an occasion which not only justified bub de- manded with all the imperative force of the noblest impidses of outraged humanity, that the nations ahonld unite to put down with a strong hand a diabolical iniquity, the doings of the Arabs in the Interior of Africa surely furnish such an occasion. Every comidera- tion of justice, every emotion of pity prompts the hope that the Brussels Congress wUl not dbperae without having agreed upon the de- tails of a scheme which riiaU result in pntr thig an effectual check, at the earliest possi- ble moment, to the work of death, and cruel- ty worse than death, how being carried on- by the Arab sUve traders.â€" {The Week. â-  'r ifc- 'â- " 'â-  'â-  f'"-»â€" â- â- â- â- â€¢ •â- "' HAKRIAG When nt»mt*am*ta a Failwe l»y n«m ami Marriage b a fidlmre, the men a»y« when a wife ^inka more of her reladvea than of her hnsband Whnn a wife beUeves that her hnsband must. love her whether she deservee it or not; When a wife ate^i to her hasband'a level and triee to (qoal him in being mean When a wife aib to reaUzs tbatpadenoe and gentleneM are more natural wiw Iker than with a nan i When a woman marrks for eovenienoe and pretends tliat she marries for love When a wife pa^ too much attention to her hnaltand'a old Vows and not enongh to the nature of the man she has actually mar- ried When a wife inabta that her hnsband shall be as good aa her mother, instesd of aa good as her father When a wife says that if her husband earns $3 a day ha ought to put |2 50 of it in her lap every ni«:ht as "her share."

Monnt Oheops was shown* and then oame the Great Glacier, of which an exhaustive de^criptaon was given. The front of the Great GUoler was an imposing picture. The glacier and Mount Sir Donald made an admirable combination. The elaaiers were seen from the snowfield and Eagle Peak and Mottht Sir Donald was ihbwn from the Loop, as were Mount Aitkin and Ross Peak. There were also the mountains at Revelstoke the junotion of North and South Thompson Rivers, the Bridge over the Fraser, Fraser C Anon, below North Bend, above Spuza»m, and at another point above Yale.

On the Cqngp, near the equator, live the Ba Ngala, with whom the explorer, Stanley, had hia hardest battle when he floated down the great rivef. They are the moat power- ful and intelligent of tho Upper Congo na- tives, and since CAptsin Coqnilbat establish- ed a station in their country, fohr yeara ago, they hstve become good friends bi the whites. An exciting event occurred recently in one of their many- villages, and Enalaka, the chief, went to Captain Ccqnilhat and told him the story ' Yon know the big bland near my town " he said. " Well, yesterday, soon after the sun cme up, one of my women and her little boy started for the bland in a canoe. The boy b twelve years old. 'Hq says that while hb mother was pad- dling she leaned over to look at something in the water. The next moment a crocodile seized her, and dragged her from the canoe. Then the crocodile and his mother sank from sight. "The paddle was lying in the canoe, and the boy picked it up to paddle back to title village. The crocodile was swimming to- ward the island he oould toll thb by the moving water. "With a sudden resolve to try to save hb mother the lxy paddled after the crocodile. The creature reached the island and went out on land. He laid the woman's body on the ground. Then he went back into the river and swam away. He was going after hb mate. "The toy paddled fa^t to where hia mother was lying. H« j amped out of the boat and ran to her. Tnere was a big wound in her breast; her eyes were shut, and he thought she was dead. He oould not lift her he dragged her body to the canoe. The crocodile might come back at any moment and kill him but he worked like, a hero, little by little he got hb mother's body in- to the oanoe then he pushed away from the shore, and started home. "Efuddenly wo hoard shouting on the river and saw th# canoe, with the loy paddling aa bant aa he oould. Every two or three s|l|rolmihe_won^ look bohind, him. The mM^tgaad m inlctcttttte after them.

We oaice up when one of the crooodiles was not more than We soared the beast off, and brought the oanoe to shore. When the bev tried to w:alk he fell down, he was so frightened and tired. "We thought the woman was dead, but in a little while she opened ner eyes and asked for the boy. We laid him beside her. she stroked him a few times with her hand; but she was burs too badly. She soon dosed her eyes, and did not open them or speak again. Ob, bow tb« boy orird 1 Bat he had saved lib mothei'4 body from the crooodiles." Aa Esaalaka told thb story the tears coursed down hb cheeks. Instances of strong affection are fr^aently seen among the people of thb tribe. Gakivation of Cork, f Corks are an article of sonvenienoe to which little attention is commonly given, and yet immense fortunes have been mad* in theb production. Their cultivation and manufacture form an important item in the industries of Spain. An account of thb from Mr. Day's work on that country b of interest. The cork tree b an oak which grows best In poorest soiL It will not endure frost, and must have sea air, and alao an altitude above the sea laval. It is found only along all the coast of Spain, the nothean coast oi Africa and the northern shores of the Medi- terranean. There are two barks to the tree, the outer one bsing stripped for use. The oork is valuable according as it is scf c and velvety. The method of cultivating it b interesting. When the sapling is about ten yeats old it b stripped of its cuter bark for about two feet from the ground the tree will then be about five inches in diameter, and say six feet up to the branches. Tki4 stripping b worth- less. The inner bark appears blood red, and if it is split or injared the troe dies. After eight or ten years the outer bark has again grown in, and then the tree b again stripped tour feet from the roots. Tills stripping is very coarse, and b used aa floats for fithiog neta. Every ten years hereafter it ia stripped, and each year two feet liigher up, until the troe is forty or fifty years old, when it b in its prime, and may then be stripped every ten years from the ground to its branches, and will last two hundred years. It b about twenty years before any- tbiog oan le reallzad fiom the tree, and for this reason the Sp^nards, who are not fond of looking after posterity, plant few new trees.
