Hut Mrs. Maravin said so, and that she had brought her a letter of introduction from one of her dearest friends in Vienna." iMajor Dennis stood looking thou .xhtf idly into the fire for a minute or two. "Look here, Ethel," he said, "I don't mind what you do in a general way as you very well know, 1 don't like yonr^ picking up foreign women in tliis ofif-hand sortoi fashion, Iiecause -â€"oh I â€" well lecause she may be a friend of Valerie's." " And I've promised to drive with her to- morrow. That is take her for a drive and then to go to Mrs. .Maraviu's," cried Ethel in dismay. "Oh well, that doesn't inatt v 'mt don't get into a way of running in ui. I ..i:t of her rwjins. You see, foreigners ,;..i ndsed up one with another, andâ€" andâ€" it's safer not to, don't you know." " Very well. I wish I'd thought of it Iw- fore. I never did or I shouldn't have asked her, of course," siiid Mrs. Dennis, whose ex- perience of Mademoiselle Valerie bad Ijcen quite disagreeable enough to make her wisli to-le very careful lest she" sliould betray their whereabouts. The following day about three o'clock in the afternofui, Madame Wolenski arrived and w;is shown into the drawing-room. ' Am I too early " she asked. "Not at all. I have only to put on my hat anl coat. I shall not be a minute. You will excuse me, won't you " .She went off to get ready ami passing the half-open door of the small study or smok- ing-room, saw Major Dennis reading a news- paper. " Oh Cosmo, Madame Wolenski is lie re. You'll come and see her won't you '"' she said. " Not for the world," he answered hur- riedly. " I don't like foreigners â€" never did. My time to meet her will come soon enough. Pray don't let lier come in here, pray don't." " Very well," she answered, and went away, feeling that really he allowed his prejudices or his fears to cjirry him too far. However, she and Madame Wolenski went down the stairs together and got into the victoria which wa-s waiting in llic court- yard. They had driven smm; little dis- taiictr tlirou^h the mild, moi^t winter air when some sutlden instinct nrulc lOthel turn to her companion and ask lu-r a question soalniptly that, even to herovvn ears, her voice seemed !â- Â» have a threatening ring ami to carry a sort of (Iiallengc with it.

" I thought you nuglit know her, or know of her," s;iid Mrs. Dennis, who, hav- ing got the information she wanted, did not wish to continue the subject further. " She is not a friend of mine or anything of that kind." " 1 understand, I do not know her," an- swered Madame indiff'ercntly, "nor am I very likely to meet her. And my friends here are English, or nearly all. And tliey are not any of them likely to know anyone witli such an exceedingly odd surname as 'alerie, so- cio/ fy. " And Ethel Dennis caught herself wishing that she hadsaidnothini^ about her husband's mysterious acq uaintancc. CHAPTER X.\. MlKIHiK " " Too -iiiilib-n anil trreat ehauK"s, thou;^h for the belUr, a:c not i-a-ily bunie.' When 1 revor went away from The Flats that evening, he jmin»ed into a cabaml drove straight round to his uncle's house in Gros- venor Square. Lord (iaseoigne was.at home, but had com|Jany at dinner, and being rather a hirge party ' they had not yet left the table. " 1 must sec Lord Gascoignc to-night," Tre\iirsaid. "Is my grandmother dining here " "Not this v-vening. Sir. Her ladyship wa â-  to have dined here but sent her excuses this morning, not feeling very well," tlie ser- vant replietl. ' Weil, I'll g*» into the library, and when Lord Oascoignc leaves the table ask him to come to me for five minutes." " Verygoo«l, Sir. I will tell his lordship as soon as the ladies leave the dining-room." So Trevor went to the library and made use of his time by writing a couple of letters before the door opened and Lord Gascoigne appeared. "My dear Jack, 1 hope no' Mng is wrong,' he began in an alarmed voice. "My dear Uncle," criel.Jack jumping up. "I have come for your congratulations. Lord Rosstrevor died last night audi suc- ceed him." " My dear lad, my dear lad I" was all that Lord tJaseoigne could gasp in his surprise. " So you are Lonl Ko^trevorâ€" mydearlad, I can't say enough to tell you how glad I am.

Not that Connie ever cared fpr honours of that kind, she was far too un- worldly for that. But it would have been a delight to her and would have, so to speak, justified her love for yonr father.

However, I've nodoubt Margaret will be very civil to you now, only I do wish my darling had lived to see this day. You have been to Grosvenor Square " she asked in a different voice. ' ' Yes. I thought you would be there you told me you were to dine there to-night â€" so I went there first." " Hut you saw your uncle?" " Oh, yesâ€" I only stayed a minute or two because of the dinner-party. He was tre- mendously pleased about it." " Of course â€" oi course." Jack stayed nearly an hour with the old laily aud talked over the situation with her t'rf»ni every possible standpoint. He really knev.- very little of the family of which he was iviw the head, only that there were two estates, one iu Ireland and one in Norfolk. Lady Oas'coigne, however, was a woman blessed with a marvellous memory and she set herself at once to think out all that she ha*l ever heard in connection with the Trevor family. " They are certainly rich â€" yes, it is a rich house. You see Lord Rosstrevor had lived the life of a recluse for so many years, that people had almost forgotten that he existed. But I krow Lady George A'Court told me some years ago that she had stayed at Trevor Hall as a young girl, and that it was a very fine place. Hut, of course, you will see all that to-morrow. You will let me have all the news as soon as possible, won't you " " Yes, Granny dear, of course I will," he answered, then got up declaring that he must be off, it was getting dreadfully late and that he had disturbed her quite enough for one night already without keeping her out o[ bed till the "^mall hours. " My dear boy," cried Lady Gascoigne â€" ' I shall not sleep at all. I shall not even go to bed for hour^ â€" and I daresay your uncle will come to see me when his- guests have gone. Hut do you go, dear you must have a gr at deal to do, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you made the old Granny very happy by bringing her the news as soon as you had it. Next, I suppose, you will be bringing me news of a mistress for Rosstrevor." Dear Granny, I'm afraid not," he said, shaking his head. She recognised the sad ring in his voice. Jack, my boy," she said gently,' "I'm afraid something has gone wrong with you in tluit way." " In a measure, yes, Granny," he answer- ed, "but perhaps it will come right, atier 11; we can never tell. Only I'd rather not talk about it, if you don't mind." "No, no, 1 don't want to worry aboutit, dear. But tell me, Jack, have you a clear idea of how you come to be next to this title?" Not very. I thmk it is like this" â€" and he went to a writing-table and quickly sketched out the best family-tree that his limited information on the subject would allow. Lord Rosstrevor. (Jcorge. Edward. t!

Then Jack went ont to liis cab and directed the man to drive round to Brook Street, where hia grandmother lived. " My lady is not very well. I am not sure if you "cm see her to-night.

" Shekisscd him tenderly and he went away, and in less than half an hour was in bed and iLslcep. He slept like a child or a top and woke in the morning in fair time, gave his man directions to pack his things in time for the tiuin leaving Liverpool Street at noon, and in due course he arrived at the station for Trevor Hall and found a 8er\-ant in livery awaiting him on the platform, and a close carriage with a pair ot very good horses standing just outside the station. The foot- man came up to him. "Lord Rosstrevor?" he enquired touching his hat. I am Mr, Trevor â€" yes," Jack answered, feeling a repugnance to be using his dead kinsman's name while he was yetunburied. The servant took his cue from his new master. "The carriage is this way. Sir, " he said, so Jack foUowetl him and got into the comfortable brougham. " How is Vick-rs going?" he asked. " Is it far to the 1 [all " " About three miles, Sir," the servant answered.

And then the man shut the door and in less than two minutes they started for the home of his ancestors, at Ici^t for one of the halls of hia ancestors. It seemed a long drive, but when they passed through a pleasant little village, Jack knew that they must be coming very near to th-, halL Then they got out into the country road again, and aft^r goi:ig aliout a quarter of a mile, turned to the right and went through wide iron gates aud past a pictur- esipie lodge where a tidy woman stooti cr.r- tseying her welc ime to the new lord.

Jack Trevor always felt afterwards that it was a blessed thing for him that he had been accustomed to big housi.-s all Ins life for assuredly had he not bei m so, the pala tial splendour of Trevor HaH w»juld have been enough to take hia breath away. Jt was all so big, so stately, with all the dignity of oak and armour and stained -glass. The hall was like a great banquetting-room, the staircase a picture gallery andyou might have driven a coach and six up it with ease and have turned it on the great landing above, or at least, so the people who knew the place were in the habit of saying. Then there were drawing-rooms and bou- doirs galore, and several conservatories opening one out of another and into the house at various points, and the stables were nian]| aird filled with capital cattle, although the 'ate lord had not ridden for many a year and s.'ldom if ever drove more than a mile or two ill the sunniest hour of the day. .1 ick refused to have lunch bnt said that he uould like to go to hia room, antt forth- wiiii they took him up to a large and hand- ^oiM liod-room, which he fancied would be jileasaut when he saw it with the blinds up.

At this tame it nukybewaaned, if at the breast, and given some li^t Uttm of nourishment, such as broth, gruel,- egg and Camrick'd food. Not until it hae^ its teeth, or when it i» two yeai serf age, should it be allowed to come to the table «â-  par- take of diet prepared for its elders. Prior to four months of age, it has very little power for digesting starchy foods, and ciMisequent- ly, Kod of this kind is very apt to cause diarrhcea ao that ths nue when this occurs, to abstain from all kinds of starch until the child is at least four months old. This does not apply to malt' milk, which only contains niilksngar, nor to Camrick's food, in which the carlwhydiates are all changed into dextrin and soluble fltarch, which does not irritate, and is not readily fermentable. In addition to feeding, the child should have water to drink between meals. The water should be boiled and kept free from contamination of all kinds. Where there ia a tendency to bowel disorder, a little gum arable, rice, or barley may be boiled with the water, which should afterwards be care- fully strained. This is usually well borne, and may be given freely. A word ahould be said with regard to keeping ^he bottles absolutely clean. After each feeding, the remnant of the milk in the bottle ahould be discarded, and the bottle immediately washed in hot water, with a pinch of bicarbouate of sodium, or with ashes, but not with shot, which has caused lead poisoning in infants. Several bottles should be in use at one time ao that one may be always clean. The nipple should le of black or pure rubber, and hot of the white or vulcanized rubber. It should fit over the top of the bottle,' and all kinds of nuraing bottles with tubes shotdd be rejected. A little coarse salt will assist in cleansing the' rubber when it becomes coated, and the nip- ples should be kept in clean water, contain- ing a pinch of soda, in the intervals of using them. va^dOit m oar TCI • UMrtM wmWhOitt m on lUhran ia htmm, kalnrad* Iwodi tlu â- M â- mm tU fcâ€" dA*, aa vote baotk Horn iBkHM aad hi nth*.

Tooth Powders and Tooth Washes. Powders and washes for the teeth should be iised with great care. Regarding them, especially, the well worn but pertinent cau- tion to bev/are of strolling vendors applies with the deepest import. Every one has a desire for white and beautiful teeth, and the itinerant who boasts loudly of the power of his preparations to " whiten the lilackest teeth to look like ivory in one minute " catches the popular car and sympathy on the spot. There is nothing remarkable in the fact that what he claims can be demonstrat- ed. Any chemist or apothecary can concoct a preparation which » ill do all th is â€" and more. If use*l but a short time it will des- troy the enamel, and with it, of course, the entire set of teeth since the phenomenal re- sult ia and can be reached only by the des- truction of a small portion of the outer sur- face of the enamel. The result is the same whether the agent be wash or powder, since the latter simp]}' contains the chemicals of the former in an undissolved form. All strong acids or alkalies should be avoided in the mouth, and if there is a doubt as to the compoaiti un of any preparation in this re- spect, let it be tested with a bit of litmus paper. This paper canbe obtained at any drug store, aud is iu two colors â€" blue and red. The blue, if il.iinpencd with an acid solution, will turn red, and th rapidity and intensity of the change will indicate the acidity of the solution. The red indicates alkali by changing to blue, in the same manner. Tooth powders, as a rule, should be solu- 'ole and slightly antacid. There is a claf^^i of insfjluble powders which arc of the moat ilaugerous nature, of which powdered char- coal is a notable example. These consist of tine sharp particles, which being pressed by br-ush Lctween the teeth and gums or lodging lictween theleeth, may cause the most serious results, even to the destruction of the guni!^ or the cement. The use of the brush in connection with powders, w.-\ihes or other treatment of the teeth should be gentle. Bleeding of the gums {-« always a danger sig nal. It shows that the skin has been broken, inviting the absoi [itiou into th** system ol imy poisonous or foreign matters which may bepi'^entin the mouth. If the gums are very Lender a soft bri:-h should be ysed, and uscil very gently, till they lla^â- e hardcTied sutiicieiitly to withstand nn»re vigorous ti-eatmeiii. Even tlien, the lia.bility will be to err on the side of liar.-.bness.- -//•.ufth ami Ilojtu: Gatarrha There are 8erer.d distinct forms of cat- arrh, which may be classed imder two general heads, ihe dry or non -discharging, and the mucous or -flowing catarrh, of which the latter is by far the more prevalent. A cold in the head, strictly speaking, is a catarrh, and if suffeied to run its couise without interruption, may a.'8ume all tlie worst features of th;- troublesome di^ea.1t' and finally become so timrougli'Iy sealed ;is to occasion no little ditticully in its ilisloilg- ment. It first altaeka the mucous membrane of the nasal apertures, inflaming it and cans ing a continuous watery How, thence ex- tending downward to the air passiiges lead- ing to the ehest, causing constant irritation, and finally settles upon the lungs 'with a deadly grip. Its womesyniptoms aie attend- ed with heudache, impaired hearing, sight and memory, loss of .ippctitc and general debility. We have kiitiwu cases where the loss of smell aa wbll as taaie wcie attribut- able to this ca.ise. Oztcna was the Greek name given to this disease, which is a torpid ulcer iu the deeper portioiLS of the nasnl jMissages with moreorlesscflFensivedischarges. l',s progress should be vigorously i-esisted witii curative remedies before it has time to fjisteiiupon the lower and more sensitive air jMissages lead- ihg to the chest.

Foils. Roils are caused by germs, but it is not fully deierminei juat how the germa find itccess. They arc proljably received through sotie slight abrasion or other injury to the akin. The pus wiach is discharged is full of gernn. A slight injury in the vicinity of miy uf the glands of the body through which germs i^re given opportunity for entrance, is often followed by enlargement of ^he glands. A. D. 1534.

Bettina's ftkther was poor, bat then he was a German, and poor Germans are not nearly so poor as poor other people. They know how to live, and, what is more, how to be on a very, very little of anything, day, when Karl Binden (that is the father's name) was looking through an old chest, to see ijf there were anything to sell, he fonnd five little withereddooking bulbs.. " Arch, the dear micMis Now we shall have some soup," cried Bettina, her blue eyes dancing in expectation of a feast. ' Those are not onions, dear child,*' her father said, taking up the bulbs as carefully as if they were so many lumps of gold. " They are hyacinth bulba Mynart von Donk, the gardener from Haarlem, who came with us across the sea, gave them to me. He said that in Haarlem thev *would be wortli nearly five thalers eactu How could I forget them Now they have lain so long away they be 'no goot.* Beside, we have no garden." '*0b make one, and plant them and sec," cried Bettina, whose frugal little soul could not bear to waste anything. So her father made a small, oblong box, which he carried downstairs and filled from a pile of black dirt that had been lying before the house door for days and days. 'Ach " he said, stopping his work look around on the other piles of dirt that lay scattered up and down the street^ ' if the Haarlem gardeners had all this they wouM think themselves rich, but here no one does wblh* it. I think it has been here a month. Well, it is a great country, this. " Then he sent Bettina to the stoi c for a penny's worth of fine white sand, which he mixed with the earth, then put th e box on top of his head, carried it upstaira, put the bulbs carefully down under the earth, one in each comer and one in the middle, theu set the 1ox away in a dark closet for ten days, ami on the eleventh day he td the box in the window iu the bright sun- ' shine. Pretty soon there were five of the loveliest little grc- n things peeping up through the black dirt.

The regular routine of the Trappists is thus given **lhemmks rise at 3 a.m. onordinsuT^days, at one cm Sundays and minor festivals. Three minutes are allowed thean to reach the chapel from the dormitory when the bell rings for matins. After more than two hours spent at their devotions they are allowed (in summer, bnt not in winter) to partake of a light ' smack ' of bread and water, and at five o'clock the lay brothers ' put on their boots ' and start out to work in the fields. The clerical brothers continue their religious exercises until near eight o'clock, when t hey, fcoo, start for the fields. While at work in the fields they are not permitted to speak to each other, but are compelled to use signs in any necessary communication between each other. At half past eleven ' all hands ' as- semble for their mid-day meal, which con-' 8i8tsofratherdark,poorly-ratsed bread, roast- ed potatoes, with other seasonable vegetablt^ but .the chief dish is a large bowl of vege- table soup, garnished with crusts of bread. For dessert they have a sort of "fricassee," strongly resembling thick oatmeal pon idge, made up of a conglome ration of the reir nants of former repasts. At twelve o'clock tliey all retire to rest for an hour and a half, and after their "snooze" they gather to the chapel again for a short spell of religious exercises. At two o'clock they put on their boots and cowl and are off to work again until 5 p.m., when they retire from the fielda, consume another snack of bread aud water, then re^iume their devotional exer- ises until eight, when they retire to sleep the Bleep of the juat."

H.M.IFAX, Nov. 19 â€" Recently a man named William iiifford of this city entered into an agreement wiih one George Thomson for the sale of his (Gifford'a) wife and family for the sum of $40, the conditions of the- I.-'-i' ing that Thomson should take care 'f tjie children until they reached the age of. six- teen years. The transfer of the wife ai.! family waa made, and since then '1 b-imsou has been living with Mrs. Gifford and her chiMren. Everything went along serenely for a time. Some time ago, however, trou- ble arose. Thomson is charged with cruelly beating two of the children and with turn- inganother out of doors under distressing circumstances. He has also made it very hot for his purchased wife, whom he looks, upon now as a poor investment. The S. P. O. has decided to issue warrants for the apprehension of the children, when they will be 'placed in an institution. WIBELETS.

Prof. Notbnagel of Vienna University declares " Prof. Koch has brought us fatw to face with one of the greatest ii:t'?llectnal achieve- ments in the province uf inedijine for cen- turies past comparable only to Jenner's great vaccination work. I»ut it lias far wider scope and ia altogether oue of the grandest, feats iu the history of medical science. Prof. Koch's method is purely scientific, and, as in other great discoveries, chance or accident has no part in it. The present moment is among the most sublime that humanity has known." Billroth says ** An immense perspective opens out before our eyes. It ia beyound doubt, in my opinion, that we shall find a remedy for that greatest mystery in medi- cine, cancer, for experience renders it pro* bable that carcinoma also is of bacillic ori- gin." The rumor that the bride's (Princess Vic- toria) sister, Margaret of Prussia, w.is to turn Catholic ami marry the Italian Crown Prince, is said f- have caused intense an- noyance to the Kaiser. Tlierc was nevei- the slightest justification for it, and it promptly received oHicial contradiction. The Czarewitch is being made much of in Athens. A grand ball was given in his hon- or at the royal palace, at which nofewer than 1,500 guests were present.

A Clear Case of Nerve.

Wben the doctor came back from kicking the fdlow into the street he muttered ** Try to borrow noney of m* 1 Wall, ha hadaawa." It is said that a new invention in musical instruments has been brought out in AusiriA by a manufacturer living at Pressburg, which is causing a good deal of interest. This is called a bowed piano, but is rtolly a ca.se resembling a pianoforte frame and containing six violins, two violaBrandtwo violoncellos, the strings of which are tuned to different notes. The instruments are con- nected by .-ircular bands, which are brought into contact with the strings by means of the keyltoard, the hammers of which lear upon the bands with varying pressure. The instrument is said to produce a fine tone, soft or powerful but the principle difficulty in bringing it intopi-actical use would be the tuning of the gut strings requiri-i.as wire strings could not be universally ei:.ployed. Ko advocacy is better than weak or in- different defence, and no sympathy ia better than sympathy which woidd appear to com- promise the persons commiserated. So hinks Rabbi Adler, of London, who offers to pay the expenses incurred if Krapotkin, Morris Bums and otbers abandrai the pro- posed meeting in behalf of the Jews in Rus- sia, on the ground that the cause of the Jews will not be benefited by being asso- ciated with that ot the Nihilists. And con- sidering the feeling at prsaent cntartained bv the Russian authorities towards the Nihilists, who have repeatedly proved them- selves enemies of tbe piMWit »d«r, there can be no doubt that the Jewish teadMr is oorraet ia his iinsi iitiaJiM **lhai tiie oaoatof the Jaws wiD as* ba bMiOlad by betag â- ocMted vMk tel « tta JnUts;" How to Remove Hair. Depilatories are very dangerous remeilics unlens kept in the hands of very careful Ierson8. They .re liable lo not only take off" the offending liair, but also the skin aa well and leave ugly sores to heal and form Hears. The Turkish women are said to be very proficient in the use of depilatories, as they have no hair on their Ijodies, with the exception of the head. Xearly all forma of depilation depend upon some from of sulphides of the alkaline earths. Probably the safest among the effective ones is made f I om the ordinary qoick lime. It should be slacked- with two parts of water and then saturated with freshly made sulphuretted iiydrogen. This mixture must be used with in a few days after it is made.
