he began, in a nervous way. But'a sud

broke off his speeeh abruptly.

"But you would not have me give up

"I mean exactly what I say," she re
plied, shrugging her shoulders. "I have
no desire to hamper you in any way.
Let us consider our engagement at an
end." !
Webster drew back and looked at
her. Her tall figure was drawn up to
its full height, her eyes flashed, and he
knew by the haughty curl of her proud
lips that the was both earnest and angry.

"Police!" Then there was a roaring in
her ears, and she came very near faint

and said, in low, tender tones: '
"Sylvia, are you safe?"

who had come to her rescue, and a
passage-at-arms followed. Two fellows
in particular closed in a scuffle, and, be
fore the police arrived, they had drawn
weapons. ,
The sharp report of a pistol was heard
unexpectedly. But, in the surge of a
scuffle, the course of the ball was changed
completely. Flying wide of its intended
victim," it sped over the heads of the
crowd and struck Sylvia's father, who
was . still speaking. He fell forward,
blood gushing from a wound in his side.
"Mr. Scott is assassinated," was the
cry that echoed through the streets.
Sylvia heard it, and sank insensible into
Webster's arms.
That was an awful night. Fred, de
layed in a scuffle with a thief who tried
to pick his pocket, came home, wild
with anxiety, having failed on his re
turn to find either Sylvia or the carriage.
Mr. Scott was in a dangerous condition,"
but not dead. It was a singular sight
m the weeks that followed to see the Topi
position candidate spending all his leis

"You'll beat me now, Arbuthnot,"
Mr. Scott said, with the resignation of
extreme weakness. "Ten days before
election make or mar a candidate, and I
haven't the ghost of a show, lying here
like a helpless baby."
"I dont leel so" sure, sir," eaid Web
ster, quietly. "You were very popular
as controller, and a great many of the
opposition are going to'vote for you."
"Maybe so. But, if I am beaten, I'll
have the consolation of knowing it was
by a good man.?'
But Arbuthnot was right. A great
many of the opposition did vote for Mr.
Scott. The wound he had received
moreover, awoke general symDathy, and
so brought him votes. He had in the
district a majority of five hundred,
which elected him.
When the returns were all in, and
Webster knew positively that he was de
feated, he" came to Sylvia with a smiling
face.
"I am beaten," he said bravely. "But
I shall count my loss as little if you will
only renominate me as your husband."
She looked at him with shining eyes
and held out her hand with a sweet im
pulsiveness. "You are electecVJay an overwhelm

Here she was spared the necessity for

her mouth with kisses.
The second year of their marriage,
Arbuthnot was again nominated for Con

candidate of the popula party! that he
polled a higher majority! than any candi

The Crofters of Scotland.
The cable dispatches during the past
few months frequently referred to troubles
mm- uic cnjuicu v,ruuers. An article
in the Chicago Saturday Evening Herald,
tells who and what the Crofters are. We
quote.: . j j -
Much of the land in ;the Highlands of
Scotland is owned bj landlords who
never go near their property, and all the
disadvantages of absentee landlordism
are felt as much in the! island of Skye as
in Cork or Tipperary. (The landlord en
trusts Jiis land to an agent, known as the
tacksman, and the tacksman in turn lets
out the land to farmers, who sub-let
patches, or crofts, to the crofter, who,
according to recent testimony is of all
men most miserable. These poor
wretches live at the mefcy of their farmer
landlords, or the-more: cruel tacksmen.
In thousands of instances they live in
black, filthy hovels, unfit for human
habitation. If they improve, the croft
at their own expense, the rent is raised.
If they complain they are told' to "move
off," as the land is wanted for sheep and
deer. It is reported that the island of
Skye alone, between 1840 and 1883, the
landlords served no less than! 6,960 no

Aii Ancient BnrTal Custom.
At a recent meeting jof the AnthroDol
ogical Society ui London, MrJ J. G. Fra
zer read a paper "On Certain Burial
Customs as illustrative1 of the Primitive
Theory of the Soul." j The Romans had
a custom that when a tnan who had been
reported to have died abroad returned
home alive, he should enter his house
noi Dy me door, but over the- roof. This
custom (which is still observed in Persia)
owed its origin to certain primitive be
liefs and customs with regard to the
dead. The ghost of an unouried man
was supposed to haunt and 'molest the
living, especially his relatives. Hence
the importance attached to the burial of
the dead, and various! precautions were
taken that the ghost should not return.
When the body of a dead man could not
be found, he was buried in effigy, and
this fictitious burial was held to be suffi.
cient to lay the wandering gaost, for it
is a principle of primitive thought jthat
what is done to the effigy of man is done
to the man himself. ZnA Academy.

old Dutch emblem, formerly much used
as a weather-cock in 2sew Amsterdam.
Signs aad emblems in all countries are a
cunous study and one who has traveled
tnuch can always recall curiosities in this
line, found more especiallv in old coun
tr7 towns and out-of-the-way places.
Advertising is now so general and run to
such aa extent that few of the old-faih-ioned
signs remain in the large cities ex
cept the tobacconists' figures, the three
balls of "my uncle," the barbers' poles
and occasionally a pestle and mortar at a
druggists and a gilt hammer or some
implement of trade. The lager" beer
signs King Gambrinus and others are
modern conceits. I am inclined to think
this divinity is a sort of modification of
Bacchus, a nineteenth century creation
for presiding over malt and hops instead
of tha juice of the grape, and more
warmly clothed than his youthful origi
nator. ,
In the small towns at the South many
of the inns and taverns have the old
signs of the colonial times, such as "The

other emblems on battered boarJs io

few years ago this was still hanging, bat

and locomotives. The old "Wheat

its field of waving grain overrun by hun

The "Indian Queen" was a noted hotel
on this route, said to accommodate "two

The Fountain inn, where Washington
always stayed ou his way north from Vir
ginia, was built round a court, in which
was a fountain, and had shady galleries
on each floor. This inn was constructed
after the pattern of those in England io
the time of Shakespeare, where ho used
to act plays with his comedians for the
amusement of his friends and patrons.
At a Baltimore inn, the Seven Stars,
the first American lodge of Odd Fellows
wss instituted and grew into importance.
These Seven Stars were gorgeously gilt
upon a bright blue firmament. At the
Three Loggerheads, a dingy old inn near
the docks, was received the first warrant
ever cranted a United States lodire from
Great Britain. This wss a curious sigu

painted two very ugly faces, with the
words, "We three loggerheads be."
To our country belongs the honor of
originating the wooden figures so much
used by tobacconists. Tnese were very
numerous mere so than even at the pres
ent day. A story is told of a foreigner,
landing in New York, inqairing if they
were statues of distinguished Americans.
Ben Jonson in his "Bartholomew Fair,"
speaks of the "Blsck Bov, where to
bacco was sold; also of" the "Indian
Queen." Old figureheads of ships were
often used and added to. aod were very

King" was popular after 1710, owing to
a visit of four Indian chiefs, who were
received with much ceremony by Queen
Anne, and were much sought after by
sight-seers. J
Altogether old signs deserve a passing
mention and would b an interesting
corner in antiquarian research. Many
would require considerable ingenuity to
trace their origin and applicability. A

Irrlratlea la Egypt.
The ancient -wealth of Egypt has ever
been in its crop of corn. As surely aa
the seasons come round, so surely has
the Nile risen year by year. From tbe
earliest time the valley of the Nile has
been divided by earthen embankments
into a succession of great flats, measur
ing occasionally as much as 100,000
acres. Tbe rising flood is diverted by a
series of short canals into the f it
where the water stands two or three feet
deep until it has soaked tbe soil and
I
deposited its rich alluvial mud. By this
time the Nile has subsided. The drrln
mud is rudely plowed aod sown, aod ,

reaped. No ra:n has fallen 00 it.

crop of wheat or beans. He set to work,
therefore, ia Lower Ecypt to deepea the
canals, so that thev should flow ia low
as well as high Nile. His people were
not long in discovering the benefits this
conferred on them. Pumps and water
wheels soon lined the banks of the
canals. Egypt became known as a cotton-producing
country, aad during the
American civil war, twenty years sgo,
wealth poured into iu But this new
system was a vastly more complicated
one than that which It superseded. To
suit the convenience of wealthy men
numerous canals were cut, without sys
tem or arrangement. Complaints soon
began that the crops were deteriorating,
that the soil wss being eihausted, no
longer replenished by lying two months
a year under muddy water. In many
ptaces a salt florescence appeared on
tbe surfsce fatal to vegetation. In high
Nile there was abundance of water for
all, but in low Nile, just when the cotton
crop wanted it most, there wss least to
be had, and then the peasant's poor little
patch had every chance of being with
ered, while the pasha's broad acres were
flourishing. "Worst of all, this great
network of canals was v early tiled
with Nile deposit which had yearly to
be removed, and an unpaid armv of 60,
000 peasants was employed for about
half of every year effecting the neces
eary clearances. In the long, narrow
valley of Upper Egypt, e&ceptioone
portion, the old Pharaonie system of ir
rigation still prevails, and here the
Egyptian has little to learn. In the
delta the new cultivation with perennial
irrigation is practiced, and in this, the
richest part of the country, Lord Duffer
in soon saw the gravest reasons for aot
iety. A system had been created which
the people did not understand. Ignor
ance of tbe most ordinary rules of engi
neering, iodolence, and corruption were
fast destroying tbe country. XintttenUi

The street boys of London represent ia
numbers the population of a towa aa
large as Halias, ork ia other words,
they amount neari j 80.000. By far
the larger portion of this total Is made
up of newsboys youngsters bt sell th
escoing and morniog papers ia thi
streets. Of these there art 30,000.
Many have stands where they - go
every day, and nobody ever thinks of ia
terferiog with them.
In the course of our inquiries among
the newsboys, sjs a Loodoa paper, e
rouaij that It is not unusual for two cf

cannot well display three or four cob-

these institutiona.
The sboebtacks of the metropolis num
ber about 1,500, of which about 5O0 be
long to the various homes. The Ragged
School Shoeblack society give a home to
370 of these boys, who are required to
give up tbe whole amount earned daring
the day, which Is applied aa follow:
Sit pence Is returned to the boy as his
allowance, and one-third is rtulaed by
the society for expenses, the other third
being reserved in a bank for the boys
benedu During the year over 100 is put
away ia the bank, or a little overL to
each lad.
Through the day the boy takes, oa
aa average, two shdlinga, which comes
in the year to the Urge average total of
11.731.

these homes it It diCcuit to estimate

But tbe number of bovs oa the streets
of London is not aeartv so large as it
was a few years ago. They have come
to recognize the benefits which they re
ceive at the orphanages, aad are ready
to enter w oca aakeu. Ooe ot the moat
worthy ot these establishments is the
Boys Home, No. 83 Southward street,
S. E. Boys are received without nomina
tion, the only qualification being want.
There are about 160 of them aod they
are taught printing and shoemakiag, be
sides the ordinary routine of school life.
The home is most excellently ordered ; oa
entering you find yourself ia the com
positor's room, where all the smartest of
the boys are engaged insetting tip type.
A great variety of printing ia done, but
principally circulars, and they have more
orders than they caa execute. Adjoin
ing the compositor s room ie the cagiae
room, where among others is oae very
fine press lately presented to the home.
Next we find ourclvea ia tbe shoe making
department. Here a number of young
sters are engaged ia tbe duties or cob
blers, aad just bow thef are making
some st roc g top boots for the ose of those
of their aumbers who are going out to
