There was not one seditious cry or a single discordant note. At 2 a.m. the cortege moved slowly into the grounds of the Queen's palace, as the last notes of the clarinets were expiring. The bodies were placed on the sidewalks of the Silver palace and the supports be- fore the tombs, to await the ceremonies that were to be performed later. Sen- tinels were placed here and there, and, carrying lanterns, lighted with t_allow candles, the immense crowd dwindled away without the least icident.

'.l`wo Half Hours of Determined `Eort Will Accomplish It. The fact that .so many lose` their lives because they - have never learned to. swim will, _I trust, be regarded sum- cient apology for `pointing out V the fur- ther fact, that` anybody may learn to swim in two half hours spent in deter- mined eort to that `end, says a corre- spondent of The New -York Times. To begin with, let it be understood that the act of treading water consists in `simply remaining in one place in .the water in an upright positioniby motion of the arms and legs moved as_a dog, horse or ox moves his legs in swimming omitting his effort to move forward. This having been understood, let the tyro wade out from the shore in,gradu- ally deepening water until he nds him- self in water, say, up to `Ills chin; then turn round, face the shore and proceed to tread water, continuing his eifort until he nds himself standing upright, his feet -not touching bottom. Half an hour s persistent eiort will enable him to master this, his first lesson. When he has done so much, he has virtually captured the whole business. When he` again goes into . the water, = let him again go out to the same depth, turn round, face the shore "as before, and strike out in front, with his `hands `and arms, at the same time `kicking backward. He will nd, almost before he is aware of it, that he is off bottom and slowly swimming toward the shore. In fact, he hasvlearned to swim. His ights will be short at rst., He can easily learn the common strokes and methods of swimming after he has lirst learned to swim dog fashion. All he needs. however, is practice to enal"e him to swim at will, according to_Li_s physical strength. .In these suggestions the masculine is assumed to `include the feminine.

"It was established in Vienna in 1707, -of the Minister of the Interior. This when there was great distress among the poor in the southern part of the em- pire. It was designed as a way to secure to the starving some means of immediate relief, `and by putting the 1 rate or interest as low as possible and the valuations as high as possible, and embodying inthe system every advan- tage that could be given to make loans, it was found to be so effective that it , soon gained the imperial sanction, and } it was not long until its managers were made public .o1c1als under the direction is -substantially the status of the insti- tution at this time. The rates are so low that the business done on the cheap goods and chattels of the_ r could not possibly make the establis ment self- sustaining; but people who have been. suddenly reduced in circumstances. or who are temporarily embarrassed, keep the margins on the right side and enable the institution to keep o_pen without the aid of a subsid . In the year 1893 a total of 866,01 articles were pledged and of these 848,562 were redeemed, a. remarkable redemption as compared with the proportions of the average pawn shop. The unredeemed pledges were sold by public auction, and when- ever they brought -more than the face of the pledge the balance was sent to the account of the pledge,` to be refund- ed any time within three years.-London Qnnnd-n fru- LTIIII pnnuu-u nu: ovv---_v-.

'The trouble is that in good times too.` many people are anxious to try the ex- periment of using other people's money ` at a prot. Their enterprise might be _ all `right if good times continued, but the borrower s money and labor is wiped _ out by the first `slump, and the lender i =steps in" and realizes on the security, . 3which` had a good-times value, far ex- ioeeding the amount of the loan. 1 I-' A long season of adversity will have Iben teaching its lessons in- vain, if, `Canadians go back to the same old game I iof trying to get rich on" borrowed" -money. The- hard times have shown that such a game is a _ good deal worse for borrowers than it is for lenders, and it 6 `bad enough for both. There are districts in Ontario that have simply been devastated by loan companies; The companies were not to blame for placing their money to the best advant- age, but the farmers were to blame for ' borrowingeinstead of saving, to satisfy the real or imagined wants of them- selves and famies. What is true of | the townships, is true more or lessof p the _towns and cities also. Borrowers have been altogether too anxious to carry a load of interest on other peo . ple s money. N ow that the time is re- ' lturning when it will be easier to but- row .money, the people will have a, chance-to show that they have learned I wisdom in the school of adversity.- Telegram. I III.

V V Twelve months ago there were com- `putatively few farm `telephone lines in the cotintry, but as the telephone itself *:has been cheapening, the farmers have 5become alive to its value, says an ex- `change. The State of Illinois has been especi- ally active in the` establishment of these rural lines. The system `is cheap- ly and substantially constructed, each farmer contributing poles and work in hauling and setting poles, and anex- iperienced man has charge of the plac- iing of the instruments, which range in :'price from $10 to $16. Here is a" good rule for making con- crete stable oors :-First,. stamp the ground solid where the oor is to be so there will be no settling after it is made. Make the floor six inches thick. The lower four inches should be made of four parts broken stone` or~coarse gravel, ,two parts sand and one part Portland cement. The upper two inches of two parts coarse sand-if mixed with some very ne gravel all) the better-- and one part of cement. J In nishing off the oor go over it at the last with a wooden oat which will make the surface even, but not so smooth and slippery, as though a trowel were used. When nished in this way _the cows will not slip on it, and the bedding will stay on better than if it was smoother. Roots dann;t'~ penetrate a. subsoil that is as hard as 9. stone. '- nearly 100 instruments, with two cen_- tral stations. Th_e farmers are delight ed with the result of their own enter- prise, as they say they can order any- thing from a spool of thread to a har- vest hand without moving outside their doors. One system in-the State embraces Merchants of the different towns connected with the system hire delivery wagons -to deliver such goods as have been ordered at regular periods, the mail being taken around at the same time. In one district the farmers nd their eighteen-mile long telephone line `of untold convenience. V ' They are en- I a-bled to order boats for transportation and supplies with a few words spoken over the wire, whereas formerly they were compelled` to send a messenger across country. Stable Floors. . We are inclined to think, says Hoax-d s Dairyman, that there is noth- ing better for a. cow stable oor, in the basement of ground oor of a barn, than a properly constructed concrete or cement oor. It vrill be durable, and can be kept clean, and will "keep out rats.
