Building activity In the last year la an parts of the United State*, as shewn by the statistic* gathered, exceeded all precedent. There was in the representative mubleipallUea In different sections an increase of from 36 to 200 percent over the preceding year In the amount of money Invested is all Kinds of builaing:

A Boston swimmer issues a chal feathers Is being opened up. Two experienced ostrich farmers have secured a site near ?Uce and are going Info raising of the bird. As they are backed by large capital and tha climate of the Rlveira Is all that could be desired, their success Is regarded as assured. The farm Is being stocked with ostriches from California, so It seems that even for Us os- ? triches Europe has to come to the United State*.

The Western railway of France Is about to try a device by which passengers may retain their seats in & railyray carriage without resort to the expedient of placing luggage on the place claimed. Over each place In a compartment is placed a disk, and as each la occupied, a number la placed on the diak and a counterfoil Is handed to the passenger by the guard. By a recent Judicial decision no passers ger can claim a seat by placing objects upon It.

It has been discovered that 23 bank cashiers were taken in and done for by a brokerage firm In New York City, which advertised method* for “getting rich quick.” That the men a^d women who know nothing of 11- : Taayiad affairs, and who hear of grab fortunes which result from the Investment of a few dollars, should _ risk their savings under such a promise la not surprising; but bank "cashiers who do not know that only the brokers "get rich- quIck" under a scheme which promises 600 percent profit a month should go out of the banking business. Such credulity is fatal to their success as bankers, thinks the Philadelphia Record.

“I have thought that he saved him, too." Leland said, slowly. "Miss Beatrice, but no one will say! ft was like Harold! But If he did.

Like chnms at college, but unlike the fashionable world! Bensonhurst was coming across with us to-day, but changed his mind. He's a good fellow, I tell yon—solid as a brick and true as steel!'' Remarkable that his eyes should so accidentally meet Beatrice's eyes, and that the sweet color was warm In her face. "Charlie Brown's down, too. He and Miss Clara are engaged. I believe rumor goes; and Maurice Henderson Is pretty well settled with Ninette! Oh. there is any amount of news and gossip down our way! Europe Is not the only place for sen-

And Lane Leland answered In a scareely audible tone: “John Wlnthrop. Mrs. Graham.” l' CHAPTER ’XV. TAOX TO PACE. Kathryn was nervously biting her Up. Althea started, changed color, looked up frightened, and sank back la her seat confused, seeing Alecla’* perfect calm. Marion did not even turn her ‘head.

“And the wheels of a Juggernaut crush out our hearts,*’ added Mrs. Graham, with a scornful, sweet laugh. “Does Mr. Wlnthrop consider It always wisest to think only of the world and not of individuals?” “The world Includes Individuals," he said, coldly. “Perhaps Mrs.

"Still, there are people." said John Wlnthrop, coldly, drawing with contradictory tenderness the soft white shawl nbont his mother's sbonlden as she arose to return to the hotel, as the bell was t longing.
