It was with diMculty he was subdued and secured, and was then found to have gone suddenly and hope- lessly Insane In this city several cases have been known where a person to whom or by whom @ District Messenger has been sent on an errand has been driven to the verge of insanity by the Irritating slowness of the process of delivery.

Paula) “THE HEART OF LIFE.” Im Refatatios 1 | That Al “The Feeling of Pigs for J auncelot and Vlots on the Divine Comedy, the figures of Paolo and Francesca, for which ports beseech our sympathy—what is there under it all? 1 will tell you ‘There is nothing under it but the feeling of pigs for plas! There ts nothing at which the Christian stomach will not vomit. 1 do not mince matters and f dare not." That is very evident, Is it not? Canon Bulman, who plays a very important part in W. HH. Mallock's lat- est novel, “The Heart of Life” is a fanatical, athlptic, ruddy and intolerant Moral Purity League, by wh he hopes to keep any immoral person—or “bestial’ person, as he would say—from. holding @ seat in Parliament. He 1s not the hero of the story by naughty, for he possesses a very loving & moment's notice to But Mr, Mallock makes you like him, just the same, which is, of course, a very evil thing to do, In fact—and it’s @ hideous thing to say—Pole ts much nicer with all his sins than the hero of the usual Young Ladies’ Annual ro- mance, with the abnormal wads of virtue bulging from his manly bosom, But he's dreadful just the same, He has a laison with the neglected wife of an unworthy baronet, and he {s the father of one of her children, But when her husband comes Into a fortune she has to go and live with him, and Reginald immediately falls tempestu- ously in love with the Countess Shimna, whose eyes are “pools of purple, with the tremulous light of laughter in them.” But this lady of purple pools love anybody. out that she has a child, about whom there ts some suspicton. Reginald proposes, however, and I really must quote the proposal, for it ts unique Says he: “Listen now! You can never be a mother to my first born. Wiil you let me be a fether to yours? ‘Think of that, ye little Summer maids It's like a parody on sentiment, but Mal- lock doesn’t mean it for one. It's even rather Gilbertian—Glibert done up in strong spices. The Countess Shimna won't have Reginald, who then discovers that he really must marry Miss De Souza. Her name {s Ethel, but Mallock calls her “Miss” all the way through the book. I can't forgive him for that. I hate a woman who ts always “Miss,” unless she's my cook, or somebody else's. Miss De Souza is very “advanced,” and she says in her artless, naive girlishness to Reginall t has always seemed to me that to call a man a good husband becauge he does not do one particular thing, {s as wise as to call him a good husband because he happens not to be @ smuggler. I hope, Mr. Pole, you'r not shocked at me for talking like this.’ Pole shocked! Ha! Ha! Ha! Miss De Souga also won't marry him, and just as she refuses him Canon Bulman's Moral Purity League finds one of his compromising letters to Pansy Masters, the woman with whom he had the Haison, and Pole's future is threatened, It's a harrowing situation, very much like that In Henry Arthur Jones's play, “The Bauble Shop.” But Mullock hasn't introduced Canon Bul- man for nothing, and analyzed him and described the architecture of his house for fun, The Canon turns out to be weak and naughty himself, but T won't tell you how, because I'm afraid —well, you might be tov young to hear it. He falls even lower than Pole has done, and ends up with a dose of lau- danum, That leaves Pole free, Mal- lock very thougntfully kills Pansy's husband and Pole marries her. ‘There's another wicked clergyman in “The Heart of Life—almost as bad as the Canon, This one is a swindler and embezzles all of Pole's money. Invalid ladies to whom he administered the sacraments were his principal clients. “No one else,” as Lord Wargrave re- marked, “has managed to ‘live of the Gospel’ In precisely the same way. He is known to have got possession of ninety thousand pounds at least, and every penny is gone." You see, I have taken some trouble to tell you all about "The Heart of Life. Its characters are evil, but in some re- spects it 1s a noteworthy book. Mallock is a master of the English language. His style is heavy—a sort of solid m: hogany style, but it Is irreproachable, Interest is frequently interrupted by a crushing mass of Irrelevant detail Mallock describes everything—scenery, houses, rooms, people and ancestors. He quotes Parliamentary speeches and tackles debates, You feel you are a suc- cess when you have read the book, be- cause {t is so ponderous He gives a few digs at prominent men, and I pre- sume he ts referring to Lord Rosebery when he says that “the winning of a horse-race by a peer, which {s alw: associated with all manner of private profilgacy, does far more to rouse the antagonism of consctentious Radicals than any action of the Lords as a polit- ical body." I don't know whetner the title, “Heart of Life,” refers to Reg- Inald’s heart.

A dainty parasol 1s not only an addi- tion but even a necessity to the Summer outfit, But, alas! the ones we want ate rule, Here is the way to get a fashion- able and inexpensive one at the same |time: Strip the frame of an old parasol of {ts present coverings. Get a hand- some plece of moire silk, and, taking the old covering for a pattern, cut a new moire covering. Fasten this to the umbrella, leaving the seams plain or covering them with a narrow beading of jet. Let a large flounce of good, black lace fall over the parasol at the bottom, and place a large bow of the moire at the top of the parasol, And if well done you have a genuine crea- ton of art, and all your friends will fancy you have an expensive parasol. Sleeping on the Left Side. There is little doubt that an immense number of persons habitually sleep on the left side, and those who do #0 can never, It 1s sald, be strictly healthy. According to an exchange, it is the most prolific cause of nightmare and also of the unpleasant. taste in the mouth on arising in the morning. All food enters and leaves the-stomach on the right side, and hence sleeping on the left side soon after eating involves a sort of pumping operation, which ts anything but conducive to sound repose. ‘The action of the heart {s also seriously In- terfered with and the lungs unduly compressed. Hence it is best to culti- vate the habit of always sleeping on the right side, A Card Dance. A very pleasing evening’s entertain- ment was given lately at a Summer resort. It took the form of a card dance; that ts, two sets, at a time, formed for the lancers, in which the costuming was intended to represent the face cards of a pack. The king: and Queens danced in one set and the knaves and another four queens in an- other. As these couples were duplicated for each dance, there was a good deal of rivalry as to the perfection of detail neas In late years It is practicable now entirely beyond our purse-strings, as a! in dress, &c., and the result was a de: eldedly novel and interesting perform- ance, Not Water Before Breakfast.

The best way to wash a child's head ts on a rainy day, for then they have fo stay in the house and can |e easily kept in a warm room until the hair is perfectly dry, so as to be free from a chance of taking cold.

Agnes Booth’s Brooch. Agnos Booth the actress, was re- splendent not long ago, at a bazaar in a stunning Summer gown.

To Keep Cool, If the weather grows unbearable dur- ing these remaining dog days, adopt one method of the South American for keep- ing cool.
