His name was Henry Smith, agcil 24 years, so that when he began his career of killing in 1SS4 he was only just over 17- All the murders were of a most cold-blooded and atHKiious character. His first victims were a woman and her daughter, and their ofTence that the former would not give him SO, which lie peremptorily demanded from her. They were both shotdead. Inthe following year he insulted a farmer's daughter, and on her father interfering shot him dead on the spot. Each time he contrived to avoid arrest. His next crime was a sportive af- fair, intended no doubt to show off his skill with the revolver Walkingalong the street one day with a friend, they got in the track of an inoffensive negro. "Watch the nig- ger drop." said Smith to bis friend, and pulling out his revolver be fired, 'and the ne- gro did drop- -a corpse. That was in 1887 and he again escaped arrest.

The trade, how- ever, is ti) l»c strictly regulated, and its vojume will be diminished, if- possible, by taxes imposed u]on the dealers. The Congo State is thus showing itself to Ie a most beneficent and efl'ective agent in the protection of the people against one of the greatest evils that threaten them. Tlie State has at last succeeded in hem- ming in the Arab slave dealers on the west and north, limiting their further raids dovni the Congo and along its branches. They have done this by establishing the seven mil- itary stations on the north and south tribu- taries ot the Congo occupied by Well-armed forces, and frequently visited by the trad- ing vessels and gunboats of the Sutc. The natives have learned that these posts are places of refuge, where, under" the blue flag of the Congo Stale, they may find safety from Arab murderers or oppressen* of their ovn tribes. The Arabs understand that the limits of their slave and ivory hunting fields have been reached, and they are submitting as gracefully as possible to the inevitable. Everywhere throughout the growing regions which the Congo State is bringing under its influence the horrid custom of human sacri- fices is iHjginning to be severely punished. As an instance of the work the State is doing may Iw mentioned the progress of Bangala station, where the State is under- taking to educate and wire for the 170 child- ren of its black employees. It is teaching them to read. It houses them in well-ven- tilated and well Imilt huts. It gives them their meals in a large dining shed, where an immense table flanked by l)enchcs gives ac- commodations to the entire little community at once. Many men and women are employ- ed on the farm, about three-quarters of a mile square, raising the fooil for these child ren ami the station employees, and three cooks are employed solely in preparing the meals for the little wards of the State, A large hospital has been built behind the station, with accomodations for forty pati- ents, besides chambers for the convalescent. At present the hospital contains twelve blacks, including eight children, three men, and one woman, ou*. of the population of 500 souls who form the black personnel of the station. A number of the natives are employed in the manufacture of brick, and at present two large furnaces are burning 1*20,000 brick each. The construction of the Congo Railroad is going on rapidly. The survey has been completed throughout the first twenty-five miles of the road, where all the engineering difficulties are aocomulated. The grading of the road has been completed for nearly four miles. There are at present ninety- eight white engineers, agents, and workmen engaged on the road, besides a thousand native woi^men drawn from many parts of Africa. The last mail from Europe reports that three locomotives and quite a number of dat cars are constructing, and will soon be shipped to Matadi, the starting point of the railroad. The health of the white force is very good, and they are carrying on the work with a great deal of enthusiasm. In all directions it may be said that the work of the Congo State, thongh beset with naay difficoltiM, is making ^vorable pro- gms, and the white men on the gronnd, al- aioat dlioonraged aa they an ac times by the immeBBW of (he wiHic before them, are •tin raiprieed themaalres when they see the lar|^ amooDt that has been done and the "' " ' op|iuriâ€" ities f«ir wis king beasts, and have to carry the enormous weights they do because lightweight jockeys would not be able to manage them. ^\"lieu they once get off on a fair start they go in to win, and jockeys ride for all there is in the race.

Mr. Oamegie's iJad Taste. The. London Spectator can scarcely be criticised for its severe arraignment of And- rew Carnegie, the millionaire iron-nuister of Pitaburg, I'a., for Ida speech at Dundee. Mr. Carnegie is a man of deep feelings and impetuous emotions, and being thoroughly imbued with the advantages of arepublician form of government, under wbijh he found his opportunities and made his achievements, he caniiot restrain himself in dwelling upon its advantagfes. He not only did thisat Dun- dee, but he went further and denounced the English form of government, ridiculed the queen and all her family, and advised his hearers to cut the shaekltis that bind them. This was in shockingly had tiiste, and if Mr. Carnegie had been «o free with his opin- ions in some still less fjivored country, as in Russia, Austria or Cerniany, he might be re- Ienting behind prison bars the rashness he would not restrain. Mr. Carnegie claims to be proud of the country of his adoption, but it ia safe to say that no Amerieau-lxrn man of his talents and intellectual grasp would have so far forgotten the proprieties of the time and place as did this expatriated son of Great Britiau on visiting the land of his birth. Women Poisoners, Some of the more modem historians distrust the stories of the Roman prisoner Locusta, and of the women who in Italy sold aqua tofana. as the best means of satis- fying jealousy or hate or greed but the Hungarian tribunals are trying a case which makes all those legends possible. ICo less tlian ten women in the little town of Mitrovitz are charged with poisoning their husbands with arsenic obtained from fly papers, and they are only a section of the women originally arrested or suspected. Ihey were adl appaiently taught by a single woman, Esther Sarac, a local witch or herb- alist, who deliberately instructed at least one disciple, and probably many more. The Soisonings, some sixty in number, were one with little precaution, and cover a space of more than ten years^ during all which time a vague suspicion has been float- ing about. The evidence against the women under trial is said to be overwhelming, and most of them have saved trouble by pleading guilty. They are all peasants, and probab- ly of a low order of mtelligence but the revelation throws a strange light on the true value of much of modern " progress." In Hungary, at all events, it does not pre- vent epidemics of crime, though, no doubt, the imfvorement of chemical analjrsis helps the authorities in detecting and pouiihing thegoilty. £uiiil- im.

Jest set down at the north window, while I pick over these ]^nms," said Mrs. lliOTiie our ^od hostess and mistress of " Fairview Fum," and tiie "homiest" farm hoose tired school ma'ams ever were wafted into by Jnly wind. 'Rildy Thome, ruddy-faced and motherly appearing, not quite fifty, was a ** capable" housewife, a ' r^Tw clinker" to turn work, the mother of four stalwart sons, and wife of easy-going, jolly 'Siah Thome. ' Bear, dear " said my niece Ray, as the sharp voice first fell upon her ear, and the snappy black'eyes "sized us up," ata glance. " What an uncomfortable landlady " In a very few hours we came to know that we bad misjudged her, a» her's was really a kindly soul. "You Bee, Miss Ray, there's a difference between old an' young blood. No matter how frisky an' alirrin' the young colt may be, it steadies down fast after being worked in the harness awhile. I was full of ambition, when 'Siah an' me were first married, an' set my heart on gittin' on in the world, no matter how hard I must work. Mother told me that 'Siah would need to be kept stirrin' an' I'd best show him I meant to have my way at the beginnsii' of our mar- ried life. She said I was more capable of managin' than 'Siah, an* he'd come to see it. She cautioned me about lettin' his folks in- fluence him too much. Everybody knew that they had almost made an idol of him, an' were a bit too easygoin' "I did jest as mother advised, tho* for the first few years there was a sight of difference in our opinions. He was anxious to spend time in studyin' and readin' papers. He or- ganized a literary society, an' the members wanted to farm after the methotls suggested by those fine writers who have never han- dled a spade in their lives. Mother came over, one morning, an' told me I was takin' a wrong step by permittin' 'Siah to waste time readin' silly stuff, an' we'd never get on in farmiu' unless we worked In the day- time, an' slept at night. "Siali's mother, one morning, asked ir.e not to le so tight upon hiin, an' intimated he ought to have his evenings to read his papers. He was used to a few pleasures at home. I was young and fiery tempered, an' -knew that befoiie many years we should have to care for 'Siah's parents, as they were almost penniless, havin' had sickness an' losses to hinder, 'em from p'rosperin' My mother thought I was burdened enough with the farm work, an' care of my three little boys, without doin' for 'Siah's folks. "1 fairly blazed, I felt so angry when told that "Siah fared better in his boyhood home than he did in his own, an' I said: "If there hadn't been quite so much readin' goin' on, an' money spent for lights, mebbe to-day I shouldn't have the prospect of workin' iny fingers to thclxne to earn lread f(H- two people, who are no eartblykin to me. Lights cost money; we can't atrord em,' an 'Siah'llbave to vork doubly hard nTw that we are to have an addition to our family circle after a certain mortgage is closed.' "'Daughter, I didn't mean â€" " 'No certainly not. You didn't mean anything unkind, byfaultin' mean' my way o' doin' things, when I'm killin' myself lo earn a bare livin',. Everybody knows that 'Siidi issbiftless, an' 1 have the hardest time. The truth should le told, an' we both know that in a few months the Thornc farm'll fall into other hands. 'Siah has picked out for you the very best room in the house, sayin' he wanted a sunshiney notjk for his dear old mother,' said 1, an evil spirit possessing me. " ' Did â€" my â€" son â€" say â€" that? Bless hifii for that ' T heard her sayin' in a low choked voice then she turned her white face toward me,, and spoke up -clear " ' Rildy, we Thonieshave not, as money- getters, been successful. As you say, we old folks will shortly be' homeless. We have, ill the long ago, worked to bring up 'Siah in the right way. He always said, 'one day you shall have a home with me, and rest." I have given you a good hus- l)and, though he may not be one after your own standard. I have nursed him in severe illness, and with a motherly pride and love watched his growth into an honest, upright manhood. \\'heii he asked me to lejoice with him, as he had won a dear, goml wife. I did so, and your little ones have been treasures dearly loved by me. You "have been a good wife and more than done your I)art, but, "Rildy, I will pray that there may be a way provided for father an' nic, and you will not be burdened with the ail dition of two lielplcss old people." " Then she slowly walked "nown the path through the or-chard, over the hill, to the little house she had called home for fifty years. " Siah came in from the field singin,' " A charge to keep I have." "The words fretted me, an' I said, cross as two sticks " ' I should think you have, or will have a charge to keep, when the old folks come." " ' 'Kildy,' he said, finn aa a rock, 'if yo don't want my par-ents hert, we'll make other arrangements. Cared for, they shall lie, as long as I have strength to work. Suppose ii was 5'ourowu mother " " '^ly parents have been able to keep a roof over their liejids. They'll never ask lielp of you ' was my angry retort, and then I had my say, tellin'him that a man should be ashamed to make a slave of his wife, and therQ were so many things we needed, an' couldn't afford. After I had finished, 'Siah looked at me queerly, kecpin' silent until I set the dinner upon the table. After dinner was over, he started to the woods, an! lull- ed back to me Don't fret, 'Rildy, father an' mother'U not bother you.' "I walked over to mother's, to tell her about the trouble. Of course she sided with me, an' I'd about come to think I was in the riglit, arguin' a man's first duty was to pro- vide well'for his wife an' little ones, an' we really were not able to keep 'em. But jest what to do, I couldn' think. "They should not be town's poor, at all events. People were already talkin' alwut my liossy ways. ' "Toot, toot, too-oo-t soundel a horn, which meant, as I well knew, there waa trouble at home. 'Siah was sounding our distress signal. "Like a scared deer, I ran home, to find that the excitement was at the old folks' place. I could see a crowd gathered there. " 'Siah came lo meet me, leading little Sammy, smoke -strained an' nearly naked, but safe an' sound. "'Thank tiod, 'Riluy^ our boy is safe! Come in an' see mother,' said he, leadin' me into the house, an' guidin* me to the bed, where she lay cruelly scorched and burned. Tlie shock unner\'ed me an' I fainted away, an' the afternoon was well spent before I was able to walk to the bedside of hisâ€" yes, our mother, whose life was nearly ended. " 'Goin' fast,' somelwdy whispered, an' she heard it, an* said faintly, ' 'xes, goin' goin' home home, sweet home. ** Down upon my knees I sank, an* before em all, begged her to forgive me for my wicked words, tellinghersheshouldlie treat- ed like a queen the rest of her days, but she didn't heed me.

Ogihde (kw The flonr exhibit by the Ogilvie Milling Co. in the main annex building has' attract- ed great attention during the ir, and is weU worthy of notice. It consists of a pyramid of flour sacks of the various sizes and is about eighteen feet in height. On this pyramid are artistically displayed some of their principal flour brands, consisting of all grades of pure Manitobas, mixed Mani- tobas and Ontarios and pure Ootarios, among them being Ogilvic's Hungarian patent, strong bakers' Vienna sponge, wave crest, patent A, patent 1' patent star, crown patent, Goderich, diamond A and white spray. D.~ D. Wilson's, Seaforth, brands of oatmeal, whicli this firm se.l, are also shown. All these bnuids of flour and oatmeal are unsurpassed iu their several lines, and command the highest price in all parts of the Dooiiuiou. The whole exhibit is beautifully decorated with lithographs of the mills, sheaves of grain and banners. Two of Ogilvie's mills are located at Montreal, one at \\'innipeg, one at Goderich and one at Seaforth, the best grain centres in the different Pro- vinces, which enables this firm to suppl* their customers with the best quality of flour in all lines they require. The com- binel daily capacity of Ogilvie's mills is nearly 6,000 Inrrels. Ogilvie's brands of flour are household words from Vancouver to Halifax, and take the leading place in the Canadian trade as well as in foreign countries to which they are largely ex- ported. The Hungarian strong liakers' and Vienna sponge brands are extensively used by nearly all leadmg bakers iu the Do- minion. The exhibit is in charge of J.^ F. MacLaren of Toronto, traveller for the firm in Ontario. Mr. T. O, Kemp, Seaforth, manager of the Ontario trade, Mr. Shirley Ogilvie of the Winnipeg firm, Mr. Hutchi- son of the Goderich branch, and Mr. D. D. Wilson of Seaforth oatmeal mills, have Ijeen in the city during the exhibition. The Ogilvie Milling Company commenceil opera- tions in the milling business about 25 years ago, and by their indomitable pei-severance and energy now stand at the head of the milling industry in Canada. The whole concern ia under the control of Mr. W. W. Ogilvie of Montreal, to whose indefatigable efforts are largely due the proud position the firm of which be is proprietor and man ager occupies to-day. â€" Thf, Toroiito Gtobi^. rRONTO CUTTI!fG SCHOOL. â€" Grand chance for young men to. acquire a flrst- trade.
