Thby expressed the opinion that Kalloch is unscrupulous and unprincipled and devoid of integrity and fidelity to public interests, and that tne time bas arrived for the board to express their condemna tion of his acts and recommend that prompt action be taken to vindicate the fair fame of the municipality by a Judic ial inquiry into kalloch a case. A motion to adopt tho report was put by Mayor Kalloch, who announced on viva voce voto that it was carried. The roll was called, resulting in an unanimous vote for adoption. A resolution was then adopted which authorized the finance committee to cause judicial proceedings to be instituted against the Mayor for his removal from office and empowering them to employ counsel and prosecute the matter to a speedy termination.

He said that he had identified himself with the energetic revolutionary feeling of tho people and regreted that oiice before in the reichstag it was denied on the Dart of socialists, that they had any connection with the Rus sian anarchists. He declared that he ac cepted tho connection, but spoke of that course oly for himself, not knowing how far his colleagues agreed with him.

Two weeks ago I stop ped on my way home, and I bought just the gayest little Russia-leather, cream laid paper account book you ever saw, and a silver pencil to match it. I said to my wife, after supper: "My dear, it seoms to me that it costs us a lot of monoy to keep hoiiso." She sighed and said: "I know it does, Lavvy, but I'm sure I can't help it. I'm just as economical as I can be. I don't spend half as much money for candy as you do for cigars." "I never take any notice of personali ties, so I sailed right ahead. I beliove, my dear, that if we were to keep a strict account of everything we spend we could toll just where to out down. I've bought you a little account book, and every Monday morning I'll give you some money, and you can set it down on one sido, and then, during the week, yon can sot down on the other side everything you spend, and then on Saturday night we can go over it and see just where the money goes and how we can boil things down a little." Well. sir. she was just delighted thought it was a first-rato plan, and the pocket account book was lovely regular David Copperfield and Dora moant busi noss. Well, air, tho next Saturday night we got through supper and she brought out the account book as proud as possi ble, and handod it over for inspection. On ono Hide was, "Received from Lavvy fifty dollars." That's all right! Then I looked on the other pago. "Spent italll" Then I laughed, and, of course, we gave np the account book racket on the spot, by mutual consent. Yes, sir, I've been there, aud I know what domostio econ omy moans, I toll you. Let's have a cigar. J-Jjs. Proud or His Work. There is a natural satisfaction experi enced in the contemplation of tho results of diligent and well-directed toil. The workman's grandest monument is the work which he has completed. He looks at it, and rejoices in it. Even "the Lord shall rejoice in his works;'' and in similar rejoicing all true workers have somo right to participate. But as our good works may be an oc casion of rejoicing, so the evil which men do, not only lives after them, in dark and terriblo permanence, but it often confronts them, haunts them with its shadow, and shows to them the dire and terriblo results of wrong doing even in this life. During a recent discns?ion of the tem- Jieraneo question in the Canadian par iament, Mr. Ford, of Queen county, re ferred to a member of ono of the families in the province, who hod not long before been laid in a panper'a grave in conse quence ot being addicted to the nse of intoxicating drink, and remarked that such a circumstance was "a temperance lecture in a nutshell." Mr. Pugh, member from Halifax, im mediately arose, and in opposition to Mr. Ford, stated that he was a liquor-seller, and that the bnsiness was just as honor able and legitimate as a carriage builder's. , This remark called np Mr Ford again and he said: "I build carriages, and when I turn out a fine wagon, aud pnt it to rolling along the streets, I say, 'That is my work.' I would a&k the honorable member from Halifax if he is proud of his wo.-k, as he sees it rolling along the street" There was no answer to this question; il was a question, that answered itself. "Oh, come oo, let's have some fun," sayi a ragged urchin to little knee breeches. "Can't. Mother won't let me." S'poee she won't. Ask your dad." "It's no nse to bolt They run me by the unit rule, and I catch the ferrule if I try to vote against instructions." Some of Lln-hslen's Strange Stories. Borne of the stories have now and the, a European touch about them, but they are so mixed tip with a peculiar kind ot witchcraft and with competitive examin ations that the differences are far greats than the resemblances. These two tlunw at first sight so inconsistent, are fn! quently combined In a curious way, v9 find ghosts and spirits aiding a dull fej. low to take his degree. In the first story in the book the post of guardian angel or tutelary deity to a certain town is given after a competitive examination. In many of tho tales, however, it is l0Ve and witchcraft that are combined. Tims in the story of "The Laughing Girl" we have the hero Wang picking up a sprig of plum blossom which the heroine had dropped at the Ftast of Lanterns. He treasures it up and wastes away for love of her just as if he were a modern hero. The priests are called in by his mother to see whether the youth is bewitched. He sets off for the hill country in hope of meeting with the girl again and takes with him the driod-up sprig of blonaon. Ho discovers, almost buried under tl luxuriant growth of trees and flowers, small hamlet in a valley. At the door of one of the houses were some graceful willow treps, and insido tho walls wer Eeach and apricot trees with tufts of aniboo between them and birds chirp ing on the branches. He heard a sweet toned voice, and by him passed a girl with a bunch of apricot flowers in her hands and occupied in putting hairpins into hor downcast head. It was the beauteous Ying-ning, of whom he was in search and who turned nut to be a rela tive of his. Wang showed hor the dead flower which he had treasured up. "It i dead," said she, "why do you keep it?" "You dropped it at the Feast of Lan terns," replied Wang, "and so I kept it." lie explained to her that it was a proof of his love. "You needn't make suoh a fuss about a triflle," she roplied. "I'll give orders to supply you with a whole baskelfull of flowers when you leave." Wang told her that she did not under stand. He said: "I didn't caro for the flower itself; it was the person who pick ed the flower." "Of course," answered she, "every body cares for their rolations. You needn't have told me that." "I wasn't talking about ordinary rela tions," said Wang, "but about huabandi and wives." "What's tho difference?" asked Ying ning. . "Why," replied Wang, "husband and wife are always together." , "Just what I shouldn't like," cried she, "to be always with anybody." Wang marries hor, but is troubled by his wife's immoderate laughter. He learns that her mother had been a kind of witch. In many of these stories wa read of foxes who had tho power of changing themselves into the shape of human beings. From such a fox Ying ning was said to be sprung. She owns to him that she was the daughter of a fox and that for the ten years before her marriage she had been brought up under the charge of the disembodied spirit of an old woman. Hor foster mother's body was! lying unburied and she begs her husband to appease the discontented shade. They find her bones in a thicket of brambles and bury them in the family vault. That night the old woman's spirit came to thank hor foster-daughter. "The Magio Path" is as curious a story as it is brief. A scholar naraod Kuo one night loses his way among tho hills. He hears the sound of laughter, and, going in the direction of the sound, he findi some ten or a dozen persons, sitting on the ground drinking. He asks them to show him his way, but thoy press him to join them. He tosses off the bumpers fast that he was at once voted to be s jolly good fellow. He was very clever in imitating the notes of the birds, and did it so woll that for a time he deceived his companions. After a whilo ha imita ted a parrot, and oried, "Mr. Kuo is very drunk; you'd bettor soe him home.' They said that they would first show bim a few acrobatic feats. They all arose, and one of them plant ing his foet firmly, a second jumped np on to his shoulders, a third on to the second's shoulders, and a fourth on to his, until it was too high for the rest to jump up, and accordingly they began to climb as though it had been a ladder, Whon they were all up, and the topmost, head seemed to touch the clouds, the whole column bent gradually down un til it lay along the ground, transformed into a path. Kuo remained for some time in a stato of alarm, and then setting out along the path ultimately reached his home. The next day he revisited the spot, but though ho saw the remains of a feast lying about, there was no sign of path. Pall Mall Gazette.
