I went downswars ana again found myself before the half topen door. wher4 for th/past two days I had been watching the agony of my ^cle. He had brought me up and had been <jhe kindest of guardians.

I watch her every movement, and a w?d<hatrcd, mixed with agony and humiliation, burns in my veins. On my return from Gemany I found her living at my uncle's, and he said to me: .

That idea would nt in nice ly with the theory that central Asia was the ''home of the Aryan race" if we were still allowed to believe, it, and haymaking is certainly an art mainly practiced in cold countries for winter forage Probably there are no meadows in the world eo*| good as those in England or so old.

The English Merlin is-to be credited witli tho foresight of getting upon the winning side and prophesying boldly, for tho par liament was presently justified by the overwhelming victories of his .party. In the issue of tho Ephemcj ris for 16-47 thc prophet, writing in October, 1646, launched out into a bold poan of victory: "A now world 'since this time twelve months! Townes and cities taken or surren dered, armies royale routed, tho parr liament forces ubteunquo victorious, his majesty distressed, tho prince fled beyond the sea," Ho does not hesitate to show how tho approaching conjunction of Mare and Jupiter presages still fur ther calamity for the royal head. But his triumph does not make the prophet magnanimous. Ho has no words too scornful for a rival seer who has endeavored to find encour agement in the stars for tho losing side. An Embarrassing Predicament. Dr. King, the bishop of Lincoln, once found himself in a most em barrassing predicament. He was as sisting at the opening ceremony of a.bazaar, which was being held in aid of the Nurses' institution. Dur ing the course of tho proceedings it was discovered that pickpockets had been at work, and several ladies pro claimed the loss of their purses. .The fact was communicated to the bishop, who expressed his regret, at the same time examining his own pockets in the hope of finding noth ing gone He was not disappointed-noth ing was gone. He was, however, surprised, for from one of his pock ets ne brought a strange purse that he had never seen before. It con tained three coppers and was ulti mately discovered to belong to a Mrs. Ellis, a lady^ who was present and among those lamenting the loss of their purses. It is conjectured that the thief was a person with a weakness for practical joking. London Tit-Bits. ?? A Strops gocltion. .?>.
