Shot imd Sum CAPTURED BY WESTERN PICTURES Th»> Bison Filmi Are Popular With Patrons AU over the country—for that matter, all over the world—comes an iu creasing demand fur western plcturel There it something irretiaiible in tbe attraction a good western pioture holds for h. Tiie Bison pictures were the lirst real wcateru pictures placed upon -lie market, and they have had many imitators. A true western picture, taken in the real west, with besutiful scenery fur a back ground, and depicting inspiring deeds, will continue to please the pub' lie; but there it a grave danger that imirationt will effect the popularity of his line of subjects. Furthermore, there it a possibility of moving pioture patrons being turfieted with too muoh Wettren subjects. There it no doubt that the excellence of Bison pictures have bean able thus far to carry inferior imitations. Two reels per week of Bison pictures sre released and are shown at the City Hall, they are taken in the West with Westren themes. Many of the scenarios tre founded upon Indians legends, and the characters recuited from the tribes upon the Westren ooat. The riders are ■plendid horsemen, and the leading parts ire well acted. There is something of interest and appeal in a real westren subject for sli iges and classes and they have proven .;roat attractions and the shreved exhibitor is alwaya careful to see that he rets the real unadulterated film and that t is the Bison.

Mrs. Livingston is not a Rifted speaker, and hat a voice that it far too weak for publio tpeaking, but an earnestness of manner disarms oriticism and covers a multitude of imperfection in delivery, and her addreii wat listened to with pleasure aud attention by those present. The speaker hu discovered, as hss almutt evtry othtr intelligent citizen, that the abuse of the liquor is a grieveout evil, and even those of us who oannoi igree that the remedy for thit evil lies in Prohibition or Local Option, must admit hat t speaker like Mrs Livingston is s much more effective temperance advoo tte than crankt of tbe Spenoerian variety. At tht conclusion of tht address, the Rev. Mr Freeman tpoke at tome length ifcer which the Bev Mr. Laffere made a tew sensible remsrks.

Tho value of the yearly fnr hunt nil sea Hi: I Innd throughout tho world ia abuul five million pounds. Of this amount Canada aud Alaska contribute nearly ouelifth, uot because or the large number of skim, secured ty the hunters, but because B0 mnny of them are raro aud valuable, for we BHi.-t remember tlmt tho seals taken in the waters of North America alone re present a very large sum each year. The history of the Hudson's Uay Company might bo callod a history of tie American fur industry; because, •iu<e it was formed back in the seven teeiith century, this corporation has hud ita agents and hunters scattered over nu enormous territory. Over a Century ago it had no less than one hundred and sitxy trading-posts ati'l "factories*'—tho term factories mean ing stations in charge of its factors or buyers. It nut only obtained furs from must of thut part of Canada which : nnrth and west of tho Groat Lakes, hut many thousand jM'lts were received from the Pacific. North-West—thut por tion of tho United Btatos comprising the stntes uf Oregon, Washington, and Nevada—at thnt rime almost unknown to the white man. In those days Win nlpeg wus the head centre of the llud son's Bay .Company, the log fort which it constructed being tlio foundation of the present eity. No longer is this the head centre, for civilization haB crowd dl the fur hunter farther and farther north, until Winnipeg is only ono of the minor Btations of the great corpora' tion. Seven hundred miles to the north west of it is Bdmonton, the largest market for "raw ' furs iu the New World, the capital of Alberta, and the most northern point on the North American continent to be reached by • continuous line of railroad. Picturesque yet modem, and an outpost of empire, Edmonton in tho old days was an important settlement in that section, tht extreme northwestern market In the fur country. It was founded a Century or so ago by the old North- Western Pur Company, for a brief time a competitor of the Hudson's Bay Company. The industry ts now divided into branches. But few of tho skins aro secured by the buyers diroet from the hunters aud trappers, most of them being obtained through the fur-traders Wlm yearly mako expeditions into thc Wilderness, and obtain a "load," often for a supply of provisions aud clothing, ind perhaps no money whatever Changes hands, tn the spring, when the ice and snow commence to thaw, the agents of thc big concerns, the free trailers and thc few trappers who have Cared to bring thoir furs as far back as I'M mon tun and Prince Albert, begin to move back to the north country. The Objective point of mnny of the traders is Kort Resolution, a post on Oreat Slave Luke, nearly one thousand miles north of Kdmuntou, as the trail leads, and something like four hundred miles ■Outh of the Arctic Circle. Fort Chip- powiiyan, on Lake Athabasca is another Important post, also on the edge of the fur couutry; and thsre are a number of posts iu the interior and aloug the Mackenzie lliver, which flows from Great 8l;ivi; Lake into the Arctic Sea, The D'.-i--' northerly post is Fort McPhersou, Cn the Peel Kiver, two thousand miles porlli of Edmonton, and approximately o>:e hundred and fifty miles above the Arctic Circle. Each company of traders takes a large supply of provisions and goods for barter, in addition to its own stock Of food, guns, etc., and the journey in Covering the thousand miles to Fort Resolution, or tbo greater distances to the more remote posts, is one of great difficulty and hardship. Tho first nine ty miles out of Edmonton is overland to Athabasca Landing, on the A Iha bases River, where flat boats and can oes are taken and the trip to the fur Country beginb in earnest, The route lies downstream a!) the way, since the Athabasca flows north into Athabasca Lake, which is connected with Great Blave Lako by tbe Great, Slave River. But there are many rapids to be avoid ed by means of long portages, so that ■ven this part of tho journey is not tasy. The traders come back to Edmonton moru heavily Udon than when tbey went away. Tho potts obtained by barter direct from the trappers or co letted from distant posts are packed In bales weighing about a hundred or an pounds each, and landed nn (heir Canoes and dat boats. Then the fight against the current sli the way back to Athabasca Lund ing is commenced. Tow linen are attached to the bigger and heavier of the boats, and they are )d upstream by men who walk too heavy for the best specimens, wh he trapper must catch iu snares o! render boughs or in some such way. Sometimes ho puts a little grease on hi.- kmitiug knife und lays it across the sue cesstcn of dots and dashes in the snow which show un ermine has passed thu way. Along comes the little white forn nu its erratic course again, The greosi ippeals to it, and it begins to lick the blade of the knife; but, alast thu. piece of steel is icy cold, and the tiny red tongue is instantly frozen to it si tightly ns to render futile all the fran tic struggling. The knife ia too heavy lor the little animal to carry awuy and in his own good time the trappei comes and finishes his work. If he manages to take a silver fox the trapper is in great luck, for tin pelt of a prime specimen of that ani •nal is worth fifteen hundred dollar* to the mun who buys it down at Kd inonton, aud the very best will briny the buyer as much ns twenty-five huu lied dollars. But the trapper gets few silver foxes, and for theso be receives ti price much smaller than the figure at whieh the white trader will eventually make his sale. The animal of which the trapper will probably capture most is the lynx. One firm of traders brought eight thousand lynx into Edmonton last summer, and these formed only a part of the total receipts. Others which are tnken in large numbers are beavers, beers, otters, wolverines, minks, martens, musk rats, musk-oxen, fishers, weasels, and white, rod, black, and cross fox. TeiiB of thousands are trapped during the course of a season. The hunter or trapper must carry traps and supplies into the remotest regions, where even lumbermen,, are un known. He builds a low, wide sled holding three hundred pounds, nnd loads this with por a, flour, undercloth ing, and Bteel traps. And when the iei on streams and lakes will bear his we-ght he starts into the wilderness, there to lead a hermit's life for seven from the nearest habitation, the trapper tries to find two parallel streams running near each other. Here h pitches Ins home-camp, setting traps along both rcvirs. The work of taking months, Arrived at « point many miles game from the traps is varied by catching fish, snaring rabbits, and capturing musk-rats for bait and fond. Nnw and then the hunter mny kill a wandering bear—an event which may lend him to a big store of wild bonny in a hollow tree. In this utter solitude lives tht- adventurer, perhaps forgetting the day of the week nr the month nf the year, lie fixes tho dato for breaking up camp and fuming bnck to civilization by thp condition of the fur on the animals he takes or by the effects of sunlight on the snow. Now and then hp will shoot deer, or even a moose, for the sale nf the rawhide, meat, and fat, which latter keeps his traps from rusting. A file servos him instead of a grindstone to keen uxor and knives keen: nnd he washes his clothes through a hole in the ice, drying them by an open fire. The dazzling lylarp nf February often brings snow-blindness: and a month or two later the fast-thinning fnr on his prpy shows that further work , is unprofitable. TTe then apcretes his traps in hollow logs ready for next season, trneks his load of pelts on the wide sled, nnd trudges off through the forest to the nearest post or settle ment. Oa arriving, the trapper sells his furs. When the trading Benson is over, the trappers en bach to thoir winter hn»,r Ing grounds, which they do not leave from October til! .Tune. Here they mav hsvp a shark nr hut built of |o£<» which will wmb.t. thp*n to withstand thp rigorous weather, but the location must be ear the homes of the animals, where hey can frequently examine the score ■r mure of traps and nets which are mt fur their capture. The extreme cold ,-eather largely enables them to keep he skins "cached" ot stored out of oors until late spring, when they pre* ■are for their journey southward to .met tho traders. The furs may be tucked on ponies, on sledges, or in »oata or otucr water-craft, for where vaterways a're available these are used a making the jouruey. As the traders .ow advance further into the wilder- IGS9 the hunters and trappers aro saved muy a week formerly uceded lu mak- ng their wuy to the nearest factory. So many uro uow engaged at the vo- atlon that the American fur trade is .dually greater to-day than over be- ore, in spite of the immense tracts of .vilderness formerly tho home of game iiiimals whiih huve been settled by the ivhitc men, This is because by the pre- ent system the hunters aud trappers ei-ure much more value for their sains han iu the pust, and have time to over a larger area uf the wilderness. ioine of thu Indians iu the more north- 'idy sections, where the furs are the luest because of lho greatest cold, sel .om or uever aee a white man or any dgt) of civilization. They remain iu bu woods from year's end to year's :ud. Tho pelts which they gather aud hang on trees, or "cache" iu some neve effective manner, are collected by lialfbreed representatives of the trad is whenever the opportunity offers. Many curious instances of the man- ier iu which the honesty of the Indiau Manifests itself are cited in tho north country. One of the tales told is of a native who, desiring food and tobacco tnd blankets, broke into the store of i remote trading-post which had beeu locked and abandoned for a fbw woeks .vhile the white mau iu charge transacted business elsewhere. The Indian supplied his needs, but he left pelts for payment for what he took; and mouths later ho came back to ascertain if ho liad left enough. Except iu the matter of price, the traders deal fairly witb the Indians, uud ordinarily nothing but good feeling exists between the two classes. One Indian found a post closed when he went to it to dispose of his •duns. Being unwilling to wait, he forcibly entered and left his pack, but tothing with it to indicate his identity. Thou he retired, fastening the door as best he could, aud not until a year later lid he rturu. When ho walked into the post and told his story the.price of the skins was handed over to him without question. The accouuts of the white ■nan had been cnrefully kept, and he wus certain that uo claim but a just one would be made. | Hev. Father Manual AbaHcai, of the Roman Catholic Lliurcu of the Holy Angel.

Going up, it is unload, carry, tnd reload from end to end. But if the men who do this part of th'1 work havo a hard task, the lot of the trapper is Infinitely harder. He Kiust pursue the sources of his livelihood with the utmost cunning, varying tiia methods, from lodging a bullet in the vitals of '* bear or other large animal in such a way as will not injure the pelt to setting tho subtlest of snares for Bach wary ones as the little ermine, only the jet black tail of which Is Visible a? it whisks across the blinding snow.

Later the trouble ijrew so bad tbat I scarcely got a wink of sleep, aud would toss about in bed. /rowing so weak that I feared for my life, A doctor was called in, nnd then another, but without avail. I became more aid more low spirited, and witb out any apparent reasou would have fit*- of crying. While ia this condition, a pamphlet was given me telling whnt Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had done for others, and I determined to give them a trial. By thc time I bad finished a few boxes I began to get some sleep. and this greatly encouraged me. Then my strength began to return, my nerves grew steadier and in a few weeks more [ was feeling as well ns ever I did in my life, and you may be cure I will al ways gratefully recommend Dr. Wil Hams' Pink Pillc to every one sick or ailing, as they restored me to health and strength after all other medicines kad failed."

A cor respondent of the Loudon limes, how ever, recently took an air trip, being invited lo go because he weighed 190 pounds. The aviators wero having a weight-carrying contest. The wind was blowing about twenty miles an hour, and the rest of the competitors declined to take the risk, so tho aviator and ihe reporter had a ''walkover,'' but not as tame au most victories of that kind. We read: The worst part of such a journey for the novice is the waiting until everythit.g is ready for the start. Tho sensation of anticipation is not unlike the feelii.g that oue has when one ia wuitii g for u wounded boar to break eover from tho corner into which he is driven. But onco the propeller starts lo whirl behind you all other thoughts beyond the exhilaration of rapid motion vanisu. You have pript the struts thinking that you will have to hold ou like grim death, but you immediately find that this is not necessary. Ihe machine moves nloi.g the ground nt an extraordinary pace and I only knew that it was actually hying when I saw the elevating-plane change from tho horizontal. Of the motion of flight it <s difficult to speak clearly. Even in tho high wind that Mr. Grace was now climbing, it was not more than the sen- sat ion of a beautifully balanced motor- enr. The earth—in this ease the sward of the Lanark racecourse—seemed to be racing away from under us, und in a flash we were level with the first pylon aud the judge's box. "The mat hine was now up to 150 feet, and I became engrossed in Mr. ' I race's method iu flyii g. it seemed to mo that his attention waB glued to his elevating plane, with just moment- uy glances out of his eyes to judge the distance by which he had to thnn each pylon in its turn. Wo were now crossing fields nnd water. I could observe the gates, the wire fences, and a man bathing in the water. Then we went nround into the wind, Onr pace immediately slackened, nnd Mr. Grace vas working to keep his machine In the air. As we crossed a rond we were going so Slowly thnt I eould observe the direction of the hoof marks of a horse thnt Ind recently passed, Hero all observation ceased, as Mr. Grace wua now battling with the wind. We had only 500 yards to traverse to cross the wincing Pne. but thp dead weight ngainst the wind was bringing tho ma- hine down. Then there came ft gust heavier than them all. Tt took the mn- ehlne .'ust un the requisite amount to cross the line, nnd we came gently to earth. It hnd only been n four minute ■He. but it was certainly tbe most delightful fide that I have ever export* "need. The only recollect ion thnt I have that will describe the general sensation is that of exquisite motion." A YOUNO COUPLE MARRIED BY PROXY MVRRIA0ES by proxy are yet allowed by law in Cuba, On Wednesday (says a Cuban newspaper, a marked copy of whicli has been sent us by a Toronto mnn now in Jamaica) one of these weddings took place in this city at the residence of Mrs. floler on the Mnlecnn. when hpr daughter, Sta. Moni- na Holer, becamo the wife of Mr. Frnncis Rur,. son of tho well-known broker of this city, who Ib now in Paris. 8r. Ri.x sent a power of attorney to his fripnd, Speaker Orestes Porrara, and another to Sr. Manuel Torres, flr. Torres f-enrcsentpd the bridegroom at the wedding, aa Sr, Porrara was awav in Santa Clara. I The eeremonjr was performed by the QUEER FIRE TRICES EXPLAINED I MIU. tricks were practised in very . ancient times. The first known tire-breather was a Syrian slave named Kun us, a leader in the servile war in Sicily, 130 B.C. He pretended to hnve immediate communication with the gods. Wheu desirous of inspiring his followers with courage ho breathed Hames and sparks from his mouth. Iu order to accomplish this feat Eu uus plersed a nutshell at both ends, and, having filled it with some burning substance, he put it tn his mouth and breathed through it. Thc same trick is performed today in a more approved manner, The performer rolls some flax or hemp into a ball about the size of a walnut, which he lots bum until it is nearly consumed. Then he rolls around it more flax while it is still burning liy this means the fire is retained iu the ball for a long time. He slips tins ball iuto his mouth uuperceived, and theu breathes through it. His breath revives the fire, and he sustains no injury so long as he inhales only through his nos trils. Various theories have been advanced to account for other feati of this sort performed by the ancients, observes Harper's Weekly. An old ordeal was thc holding of a red-hot iron by thc accuued, who was uot burned if he were innocent. Probably some protective paste was used on the hands. The peculiar property of mineral salts, such as alum, iu protecting articles of dress from fire has long been known. An old Milanese devised a costume consisting of a cloth covering for tke body which had beeu steeped ia alum. A metallic dress of wire gauze was added to this, nnd thus protected a man might walk ou hot iron. Pire walking it an ancient Oriental custom, the origin of which is apparently unknown. It still survives in India, .Japan and some of the South Sea Inlands. . The performance, sometimes preceded by incantations conducted by priests and followed by a feast, consists in walking barefoot over a bed of stones which have been made red or white hot by fire. A tribe ou one of the Fiji Islands was ouce persuaded to give an exhibition, and several Europeans went to witness it. Oue of them, a Government meteorologist, carried a thermometer lhat would register up to fonr hundred When the guests arrived they found lundreds of natives assembled. The oven was twenty-five or thirty feet long and eight feet broad, and was shaped like a saucer. The deepest part of the depression was fifteen feet in length. The preparations had beeu undertaken long in advauce to avert any delay, aud the visitors saw the stoues still covered with embers. Walking beside the pit before this was done, the man with the thermometer recorded a temperature of one hundred and fourteen degiees. After the stoned were uncovered he hung his instrument ' out over the centre of the oven, »L ■.' feet above the stones, whereupon the mercury rose to two hundred and eighty-two degrees. It ia said the stoues were ''white-hot," and that low ttaiues from several holes between the stones could be seen leaping up around them. Two of the men who were to walk across the oven were examined by the Europeans before their daring act. They wore garments about the neck aud waist. Their feet nud legs were entirely bare. The soles of their feet wero soft and flexible, showing that they had not been rendered permanently callous in any way. In order to detect the presence of chemicals that might have been applied for the occasion, various tests wero made. Finally, at a signal, the seven or eight natives who took pnrt in the exhibition came down in single file to the oven aud walked across the Btones from one end of the pit to the other. They spent less than half a iniuute there. Immediately nfter they emerged the Europeans again inspected their feet, but could find uo iigu of burning or blistering. Several Englishmen have tried this experiment, uue of them a British re sident on one of the Society Islands, lie stated that he felt something re sembling slight electric shocks, and that the tingling sensation continued for hours afterward, but that that was all. The tender skin of his feet was uot even hardened by fire. Yet the stonos were so hot that an hour after ward green branches thrown on them caught fire and hlar.ed np. placed the offending finger in thc hinges of his table, which was attached to the cell wall, and violently raised the leaf, with the result that the finger wae ab solutely shattered and had to be re moved." Another ease, even more remarkable iu its way, wus that of the notorious American criminal, iJidwell, who waB seuteuced to penal servitude for life in connection with the Bank of Englund forgeries. "He was in good health on conviction, but uever did any active work iu prison. Feigning loss of power in his legs, he lay in ocd from day to day, aud from year to year, defying all efforts of persuasion, and resisting all unpleasant coercive measures devised to make him work. When 1 saw him at Dartmoor at the end of eight or nine years of his sentence, long disuse of his legs had rendered him almost a cripple. The muscles wero extremely wasted, and both hip and knee joints were contracted iu a state of semi flexion, so that he lay doubled up in a bundle. - Though he was examined time after time by experts, uo one succeeded lu discovering auy organic disease, or any cause for bis condition othor than his owu firmly expressed determination never to do a day's work for the British Government—a threat which I believe he ultimately carried out.'' Probably the biggest cannibal orgy on record is one of which Miss Beatrice Grimshaw tells in "Tho New New Guinea" (Hutchinson), "In 1858 a shipload of Chinamen was being taken down to Australia. The vess<4 wub wrecked upon a reef close to Russel Island (New Guinea). The officers escaped iu boats, but wore never afterwards heard of. As for the Chinamen, numbering 326, the natives captured them, aud put them ou a small barren island, where they had no food, aud uo means of getting away. They kept their prisoners supplied with food from the mainland, uud every now and then curried away a few of them to eat, until nit but one old mau had heen devoured. This ono succeeded eventually iu getting away, uud told something of the story, which seems to have met with general disbelief. True it is, however, on the evidence of the sons of those who did the deed." A characteristic story of John Bright is told by Mrs. T. P. O'Connor In her new book, " 1 Myself." He wns at. dinner oue night with an M.P: whose wife by no means shared her husband's democratic sentiments. John Bright waB sitting near his hostess, and she was rather annoyed at having him among her smart guests, and thought to give him a direct snub, so she said during u pause in the conversation: "Mr. Bright, this rug, I understand, wns made by you, ami * am very dissatisfied with it. I have only had it a short time, and it is very shabby and badly made," 'Is itf" said Mr. Bright, getting up deliberately from the.table and taking silver candelabrum which he put down upon the floor and, getting upon his knees, closely examined the carpet, "You are quite right," he said, blithely getting up. " It is a bad carpet, and 1 will order my firm to send you au- other in its place." And then he calm- resumed his political conversation and the dinner went ou. ally succeed in accepting one of the partners in crime, Hare, as a Crows witness, bo well" had the firm covered iheir tracks. "We always took can when we were going to commit murder,'' said Burke when the game wat up, "that no one should be present- that no one should swear to seeing tbe deed done. They might suspect, but they nover saw." Burke, who suffered the extreme pes- ulty uf thc law, has enriched the Kng- new verb. "To LITTLE TALES FROM NEW BOOKS '1MU-: Infamous Captain Morgan and I hia piratical crew were sometimes in tight places in Panama, and on one occasion were reduced to eutititf their leathern bags. "Homo persons,' says one of the company, Kx.iuemelin (whose narrative is reproduced in "The Buccaneers in the West Indie*''., "who never were out of their mothers' kitchens may ask how these pirates could eat, swallow and digest those pieces of lesther, so hard and dry. Unto whom I only answer; That could they experiment what hunger, or, rather, famine is. '.hey would certainly find the manner, by their own necessity, as the pirates did. First, these took tbe leather and sliced it in pieces. Then did they beat it between two stones and rub it, often dipping it in the water to render it by these means supple nnd tonder. Lastly, they scraped off the hair and roasted or broiled it upon the fire. And being thus cooked they cut it into smnll morsels and ate it, helping it down with frequent gulps of water, which by good fortune they had right at band." Malingering is common In jail, but surely a case quoted from his own experience by Br. Quintnn, the Ute Governor of Holloway, in "Crime and Criminals" (Longmans) is a record. The "hero" wss a vinlont prisoner who feigned stiffness of the index linger to avoid oakum picking. He was so angry when the finger was forcibly bent that, on retiming to his cell, he promptly SA/Ms Cure 3airily •(•pt eviirihat cmii i ie IWmI hJ tmmi* faeaU SS tMU THE PART PLATED BY CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN FA- MOUS MURDER TRIALS 'IMIE Crippen trial haB raised once 1 more the much debated question of capital punishment, garnished with the usual stock-in-trade of the abolitionists—the uncertainty of circumstantial evidence. And yet, if the question be thoroughly probod, it will be found that many murderers would escape the just award of the avenging law if circumstantial evidence were no long er admissible. Those who premeditate murder, as a rule, take every precaution to avoid direct evidence. In the majority of cases the murderer is caught in the toils of circumstantial evidence which he alone has supplied. The pieces of underclothing, the scrap of hair, the portion of flesh with the scar of an old abdominal operation—all these might have boen destroyed by Crippen. Mulder will out. Falsehoods cannot be woven into the fine unbroken web of truth, A close examination reveals tin Haws of the most adept criminal who seeks to cover his footsteps. The so called romance of crime lips in the ingenious devices by which the accused endeavors to throw the sleuth hand uf justice off the scent. They spin such a mazy web that they themselves are caught in its toils. Who has not heard of theae famous partners iu crime, whose figures hold a place of honor in Madame Tnssaud's chamber of horrors! The thrill of horror with which the public learned of their gruesome traffic led to the passing of the Anatomy Act. Here was an organized, dividend-paying partnership, syndicated for thc supply of corpses to the unsuspecting anatomists, nnd, ns a mere incident in the ungodly trade, for tbe forcible emigration from this world of many poor waifs and strays, who, despite their helpless despair, clung tenaciously to life. Having selected au easy and unsuspecting victim, Burke, the diplomatist and soft spoken benevolent friend, tracked the quarry to hia lair. Here his partner smothered the shrieks of those who protested against *' tIn- deep damnation of their taking off;" some, doped with drink aud drugs, yielding up their spirits without struggle or alarm. The corpse was then sold to good, easygoing Dr. Perkins, who asked no questions, Old washerwomen, Idiots, the flotsam and jetsam of the streets, arrived ut this human abattoir singly on foot, and found their way to the dissecting table. Some, on tue pretext of having a drink, passed into tbe murderers' den, never to emerge alive. They were more valuable in death than in life. Human wrecks whom no one wanted brought $50 ea.ch when ready for the hospital theatre. The very helplessness and friendliness of tbe classes preyed on proved to be the strong card in evading suspicion. No one wanted these poor, down-and-outs in life; in doath thoir only markef value was ns subjects for the dissecting knife. The score of victims to the ere dit of these ghouls was forty, and all seempd welt until Hare, avariclonc man. took In lodgers. This proved his undoing. Even with the sworn testimony of the lodgers, who were the horror- stricken eye-witnesses of the murder of victims, the prosecution could only In- lish language with „^_^_^___ burke "--to Biuother, to get rid of noiselessly—iB often used by the public speaker aud Parliamentary debates. without auy thought or knowledge of its gruesome antecedents, Tho notorious euse of the murderer George Muilins, is a typical instance of the lata! tendency of tho criminal to weave the uoose for his own neck, .Muilins was a policeman in Ireland and also iu Euglaud. After leaving the force he did odd jobs as repairing contractor, and in this capacity did work for old Mrs. Elmsley, a penurious, auspicious old woman, whose house rente from tenants brought her iu the comfortable weekly sum of $200. Thc murder of this lonely old woman leaked out ou n Monday, and straighLly pointed to robbery as the motive. It waa dourly the work of some one hungering for the weekly rents which she had collected on the Saturday night. Midline, the ex policeman, wua the oue being she trusted, Search proved that the old miser hud disappointed the hopes of her murderer, 'lhe money wus afterwarde found carefully hidden away. No cine was found to tho murderer. The whole tragedy seemed wrapped iu impenetrable mystery. A reward of #1,500 was offered, and the greed for money led Muilins to the scuifold. lle came forward to claim the reward, informing the police that tho crime had been committed by a friend uf his, named EmtiiB. To the hitter's house Muilins and tho police went, but uo clue wae found. Unable to resist the glitter ol the big reward, Muilins critil: "Yon haven't half searched; look behind tbat .-lab there," pointing to it large stone in the yard. Under ihe slab was found a parcel containing spoons belonging to the murdered woman. The parcel wae tied with a piece of shoemaker's waxed cord. The eagerness of Muilins and his indiscretion in locating tne booty led to hiB arrest along with Emms, the latter was a shoemaker, aud Muling, with u fur-seeiug cunning that failed him in the end, hnd deposited the parcel in his neighbor's yard, and to throw suspicion on uu Innocent man, hud got possession by some means ut a piece ol waxed cord, wilh which to tie it. He went to the scaffold protesting to the last his innocence of the crime. The mills of Cod ground slowly bnt surely in the caso of Eugene A nun. He murdered Uuniel < lurke, the mystery of whosedisappearauce wus not at the time unraveled. Time passed, uud the name of Clarke was forgotten, save by tbe oldest inhabitants. The lapse of yenrs brought a sense of security, li not freedom from remorse, to the murderer, Excavations led to the unearthing of a skeleton which set the memories of the older Inhabitants jogging backwards to the fatal yeur of the die- nppeuraiice of Clarke. Ao accomplice of Aram's, who, like Muilins, unwisely aired his superior knowledge, stubbornly insisted that tho skeleton was not thut of Clerke, To buck up his theories ngainst some of tho in habitants, be pointed out the Bpot where another skeleton bad beeu found. The second skeleton was unearthed, and Eugene Aram was placed on trial for his life, lle relied, like Crippen, ou the difficulty of identifying the remains, bet the court and jury showed sound common sense'by sending him to the scaffold. Anothor crime immortalized in literature wus the murder of his young and eutitiful bride by John Hcunlon, u dashing young offlcor of twenty-live, of good family, and a great favorite iu the highest circles. Staying over at DubHa on his way home to Limerick, iu the days of the rumbling end uncertain stage conch, be fell in love with tbe niece of a rope-maker (ominous tradel) rfnmeJ Ellen Connedy. After tbe marriage they went to live at Glln, County Limerick," Ireland, where, within n fow weeks after his marriage, Scnnlon determined to get rid of his beautiful wife. He selected ns his accomplice u servant mau named Sullivan. Inviting his wife for a row on the broad waters of the Kiver Shannon one quiet evening, he did hod to death, and cast ber body into lhe water. Presuming on his standing ns a "gentleman," he gave out thai his humblv-born wife had turned out to be of Indiuerent character, and hnd goat to America. How Crippen-like the storyl I he lady's character whs too well- known, however, nod few believed thle story. After a time her dead body wm oust up on tho shore—mute witneee ngainst her cruel husband. Like Crippen, Scan Ion hnd mutilated the body ol his victim so that it would be uurecog* nizable. Still the identity was estaD- lishod .»y a sensible jur^r of her cobntry- men. The case was tried before Huron Smith, and he, fearing the great family interest of the accused ordered Scat- Ion to be hanged forthwith. Ills titled relatives were unable to reach DublU iu time, and Reunion paid the death penalty. Out of these gruesome materials Gerald Griffon wove his finest romance; Dion Bouetcault his fiimone "Colleen Bnwn," and Benedict's "Lily of KiHarney."

CUMBERLAND. B.C The North Amerinan Fur Industry ALA&GE proportion of tUo whicli the world 'a poople wear fur gurnienU btill cOtUOS i'ruui North America, says Chambers's Journal, doapite tho great, changes which have occurred ou that continent, on poeially within tin, laat fifty yoara, by tho nettling of what wm formerly u wilderness, The vnlue of tho yearly fur hunt on sea and land throughout the world is about five million pounds, Of this anumnt Canada and Alaska contribute nearly one-fifth, not because of tlte large numbor uf skins secured by lhe hunters, but because bo many of thfin are rare aud valuable, for we must remember that tho souls taken in tbe waters of North America a luu* re present a very largo mnn each yoar. The history of tho Hudson's Bay Company might bo called a history of tbe American fur industry; because, ■ince it was formed back in the seven teeuth century, this corporation has hud ita agcuts and hunters scattered over an enormous territory, Over a century ago it had no leas than one hu lulled aud sitxy trading 'posts and "factories"—the term factories mean ing stations in charge of its factors or bin era. It nut only obtained furs from nioht of thm part of Canada which is north and west of tho Great Lakes, but many thousand pelts were received from the Pacific North-West—that portion of thu United Btatos comprising the states of Oregon, Washington, and Nevada—at that rime almoBt unknown to the white man. In those daya Win nlpeg was the head-ceutro of the Hudson's liuyJJompany, too log fort which It constructed bolng tho foundation of the present city. No longer is this tho head centre, for divlUzaticn has crowded the fur-hunter farther aud farther nnrth, uutil Winnipeg ib only one of tiie minor stations of the great corporation. Seven hundred miles to tho northwest uf it is Edmonton, tho largest Dim ket for "raw ' furs tu the New World, the capital of Alberta, aud tho most northern point on the North American continent to be reached by a continuous line of railroad. Picturesque yet modern, and an outpost of empire, Edmonton in tho old days was an Important settlement in that sec tion, the extreme north western market In the fur-country, lt was founded a century or so ago by the old North Western Fur Company, for a brief time a competitor of the Hudson's Bay Com pa/iy. Tbe industry is no*- divided into branches, Hut few r.f tho skins aro Secured by the buyers diroot from the binders aud trappers, most of them being obtained through tbe fur-trailers Who yearly make expeditions into thc Wilderness, and obtain a "load," often for a supply of provisions and clothing, aud perhaps no monoy whatever changes hands. In the spring, when the iee aud auow commence to thaw, the agents of thc big concerns, the 1'roe traders and the few trappers who have Cared to bring thoir fura as far back as Kdmouton and Prince Albert, begin to move back to the north couutry. Ibe Objective point of many of the traders it. Kort Resolution, a post ou Great Slave Lake, nearly one thousand miles north of hMmonton, aa thu trail leads, and something like four hundred mites ■Out!) of the Arctic Circle. Fort Chip* pewnyan, on Luke Athabasca is another important post, also on the edge of the fnr couutry; and there are a number of Ioata iu the interior and along the Mac- euzle River, winch flows from Great Blavo Lake into the Arctic Hen, The most, northerly post is Port MePhoraou, Cn thi* Peel Kiver, two thousand miles north of Etdmnnton, and approximately oio hundred and fifty miles above tho Arctic Circle. Each company of traders takes a [ large supply of provisions and goods for barter, in addition to its own stoek Of food, guns, etc., and the journey In Covering the thousand miles to Port Resolution, or tho greater distances to lhe more remote posts, is one of great1 diflicnlty and hardship. Tho first ninety miles out of Edmonton is overland to Athabasca Landing, on the Athabasca River, where flat boatB and canoes are taken aud the trip tn the fur* •ountry begins in earnest. The route lies downstream all the way, Hince the1 Athabasca flows north into Athabasca I Lake, which is connected wiih Great] Bliive Lake by the Great Slave River. Bnt there are many rapidB to b* avoided by means of long portages, so tbat •ven this part of tbo journey is not too heavy for llie best specimens, whicli he trapper must catch in snares oi lender boughs or in some such wuy Soniatlnies he puts a little grease ou hir hunting knife und lays it acrOBB the sue COSsicn of dots and dashes in the snov which show an ermine has passed thu way. Along comes tbe little white forn ou its erratic course again. The greasi ippeuls to it, and it begins tu lick the blade of the knife; but, alas! tha piece of Bteel is ley eold, and tho tin\ rod tongue is Instantly frozen to it si tightly as to render futile all the frun lie Struggling, The knife is too heav\ fur the little animal to carry awas and in his own gnud timo the trappei oomei and finishes his work. IT he manages to take a silver fox the trapper is iu great luck, for tin pelt of - prime specimen uf that ani nal is worth fifteen hundred dollar* to the man who buys it down at Kd •loiilon. and the very best will brinn 'he buyer as much ss twenty-five huu died dollars. Rut the trapper gets few -diver foxes, and foT theso he receives a price mueh smaller than the figure at which the white trader will eventually make his sale. The animal of which tho trapper will probably capture mosl is the lynx. One firm of traders brought eight thousand lynx into Edmonton last summer, and these funned only a part of tho total receipts. Others which arc taken in large numbers are beavers. beers, otters, wolverines, minks, martens, musk rats, musk-oxen, fishers, weasels, and white, red, black, and cross fox. Tens of thousands are trap ped during the course of a season. The hunter or trapper must carry traps and supplies into the remotest regions, where even lumbermen, are un known. lie builds a low, wide sled, holding three hundred pounds, nnd loads this with pora, flour, undercloth ing, and steel traps. And when the ice on Btream8 and lakcB will bear his weight be starts into the wilderness, there to lead a hermit's life for seven from the nearest habitation, the trapper tries to find two parallel streams running near each other. Here he pitches his home-camp, setting trans along both revirs. The work of taking months. Arrived at a point many miles game frr/m the traps is varied by catch ing fish, snaring rabbits, and capturing musk-rats for bait and fond. Nnw nnd then the hunter mny kill s wandering bear—sn event which may lead him to a big store of wild honey in a hollow tree. In this utter solitude lives the adventurer, perhaps forgetting the day nf tho week or the month of the year. Tie fixes the dato for breaking up camp and turning back to civilization by the condition of the fur on the animals he takes or by the effects of surPght on the snow. Now and then he will shr.nl a deer, or oven a moose, for the sake of the rawhide, most, and fat. which latter keeps his traps from rusting. A file serves Itim instead of n grindstone to keen axes nnd knives keen; nnd he washes hi» clothes through a hrde in the ice. drying them by an open fire. The dazzling rrlnre nf February often brings snow-blindness: and a month nr two Inter the fast-thinning fur on his prey shows tlmt further work is un profits Me. He then secretes his trnps in hollow logs ready for next season, packs his load nf pelfa on the wide sled, nnd trudges off through the forest to the nearest pnst or settlement, On arriving, the trapper sells his furs. Whon the trading season In over, the trappers' go bnck tn their winter hir.t ing grounds, which they do not leave from October till -Tunc. Here thoy may have a shack or hnt built nf lou* which will enable the-n to withstand the rigorous weather, hut the location must be oar the homes of the animals, where hoy vun frequently examiuo the score <r more of traps and nuts whicli arc et for their capture. The extreme cold feather largely enables them to keep he skins "cached" ot stored out of uora until late spring, wheu thoy pre ■ure fur their journey southward to iioet the traders, 'lho lum may be ached uu ponies, on sledges, or iu oats or otuor water-craft, for where wtterwuys a're available theso aro used ii mukii.g the jourucy.

American fur trade is etually greater to-day than over be uio, in Hjiite uf thv immense tracts of ivllderness formerly tho homo of game ,annals which have been settled by thc vhite men, This is boeauso by the pre ent system the hunters aud trappers ecuro much tnure value for their sains hau iu the pust, and have time to uver h larger urea uf tho wilderness. Some of tho Indians iu thu mure north 'ily sections, whore tho furs ure thc IUOSt because of the greatest cold, sel om or never see a white man or any *ign uf civllirtitlon. They remain in do woods from year's end to year's ind. The pelts which they gather and Hang uu trees, or "cache" iu some nore effective manner, aro collected by hatfbreed representatives of the trad- is whenever the opportunity offers. Many curious Instance! of tho mau- ner In which tho honesty of the lndiau uunifests itself are cited in the uorth country, One of tho tales tuld la of a iative who, desiring food and tobacco tnd blankets, broke into thc store of i remote trading-post which had been locked and abandoned for a few weeks ivliile the white man in charge trail- -acted business elsewhere, Tho Indian supplied Ins needs, but he left pelts for payment fur what be took; nud months later he came back to ascertaiu if he liad left enough. Except iu the matter of price, tho traders deal fairly witb the Indiana, and ordinarily nothing but good feeling exists between the two classes, One Indian found a post closed when he wont to it to dispose of his skins. Being unwilling to wait, he forcibly entered and left his pack, but nothing with it to indicate his identity. Then be retired, fastening the door as best he could, and not until a year later Kev.

QUEER FIRE TRICKS EXPLAINED IMHl'l tricks were practised ia very . ancient times. The first known fire-breather was a Syrian slave named Kuutis, a lcador in the servile war in Sicily, 180 B.O. He pretended tu havo immediate communication with the gods. Whon desirous of inspiring his follower* with courage he breathed flames and sparks from his mouth. In order tu accomplish this feat Eu nus pierced a nutshell at both ends, and, having tilled it with some burning substance, he put it in his mouth and breathed through it. The same trick is performed today in a more approved muniier. The performer rolls some flax or hemp into a ball about the size of a walnut, which he lots burn until it ia nearly consumed. Then ho rolls around it more flax while it is still burning, tly this means the fire is retained iu the ball fur a long time. Ho slips tins ball iuto his mouth uuperceived, and theu breathes through it. His breath revives the fire, and he sustains no injury so loug hs he inhales ouly through his nostrils. Various theories have been advanced to account for other feats of this sort perfunited by the ancients, observes Harper's Weekly. Au old ordeal waB the holding of a red-hot iron by the accused, who wa* uot burned if he were innocent. Probably some protective paste was used on the hands. The peculiar property of mineral salts, such aB alum, iu protecting articles of dress from fire has long beeu kuowu. An old Milauese devised a costume consisting of a cloth covering for the body which had beeu steeped ia alum. A metallic dress of wire gauze was added to this, and thuu protected a man might walk un hot iron. Fire walking is an ancient Oriental ustum, the origiu of which is apparently unknown. It still survives in In- lia, Japan and some of the South Sea Islands. . The performance, sometimes receded by incantations conducted by priests and followed by a feast, consists in walking barefoot over a bed post and told his Btory the. price of the skins was handed over to him with out question. The accounts of the white •nan had been carefully kept, and he was certain that no claim but a just mio would be made, NERVE AGONIES The traders come back to Edmonton Bioro heavily laden than whon they went away. Tho pelts obtained by barter direct from the trappers or collected from distant posts are packed In balea weighing about a hundred or f> pounds eaeh, and loaded on their «n noes and fiat boats. Then the fight against the current all the wny back to Athabasca Landing is commenced Tow linen arc attached to the bigger and heavier of the boats, and they are pulled upstri-am by men who walk tlong the hanks "tracking,'' as it is Culled. When the portages are reached th'* boats must Iw unloaded and the Cargoes and the boats carried past the rapids. Going down, it is possible to fr--''; the goods by land and "shoot" lhe rape's in the empty boat sometimes. Going up, it is unload, carry, tnd reload from end to end. But if the men who do this part of th-' work have a hnrd task, the lot of th** trapper is in finitely harder. He must pursue the sources of his livelihood with the utmost cunning, varying bis methods, from lodging a bullet in the vitals of a bear or other large animal in such a way as will not injure the pelt to setting tho subtlest of emires for such wnry ones ss the little ermine, only the jet black tail of which in visible as" it whisks across the blinding snow. The Otmlne is very shy, and It must be specially dealt with In order to avoid injury to its delicate skin, Bven the smalloHt of the steel traps are aaft&s ALL AERVOUS DISEASES CURED BY DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS Nerves that are overworked or weak quickly indicate their distress by pain. That pain may be neuralgia or Inflamed nerves, usually affecting the head, hut ofton the spine and limbs. It may be nervous dyspepsia, easily started bv worry, excitement or weakness. It ma\ be St. Vitus dauce, a common affllctioi among children, or neurasthenia, a con A it ion of general nervous exhaustion accompanied by acute melancholy. Worst of all tiie pain may signal the early stages of paralysis or nervous dt cay. All these disorders signify that the hungry nerves are clamoring foi nourishment in the form of good, rich blood. The numerous cures of the abovi named nervous diseases and weakness in both sexes hy Hr. Williams' Pinl* Pills, are accounted for by the fact that these Pills act uu llv make new, rich blood and so supply the starved nerves with thc vital elements needed to strengthen them. Mr. Win. O. Jones Westmead, Man., says: "A few years ago it was my misfortune to suffer from nervous debility, brought about through a severe attack of lu grippe or infiu ensa. When the first effects were felt I used to wake up ia the middle of sleep trembling like i leaf, and in a bath of cold perspi rati mi. Later the trouble grew so bad that I scarcely got a wiutt of sleep, and would toss about in bed. growing ao weak that I feared for my life. A doctor wns called iu, and then another, but without avail. I became more aid more low spirited, and with out any apparent reason would have fits of crying. While iB this condition, s pamphlet was given me telling whnt Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had done for others, aad I determined to give them a trial. By thc time I bad finished a few boxes I began to get some sleep, aad this greatly encouraged me. Then my strength begau to return, my nerves grew steadier and in a few weeks more t was feeling aa well as ever I did in my life, and you may be sure I will al ways gratefully recommend Dr. Wil Hams' Pink Pills to every one sick or ailing, as they restored me to henlth and strength after all other medicines had failed."

Ont d he rturn^ When ho walked into the | ()f stones which have been made red "or white hot by fire. A tribe on one of the Fiji Islands wag ouce persuaded to give an exhibition, and several Europeans went to witness it. One of them, a Oovernment meteorologist, carried a thermometer that would register up to fonr hundred When the guests arrived they found hundreds of natives assembled. Tho oven was twenty five or thirty feet long and eight feet broad, and was shaped like a saucer. The deepest part of the depression was fifteen feet in length. The preparations had been undertaken long iu advance to avert auy delay, aud the visitors saw the stoues still covered with embers. Walking beside the pit before this was doue, the man with the thermometer recorded a temperature of one hundred and fourteen degiees. After tbe stones Wjwe uncovered he bung his instrument''out over the centre uf the oven, t.L •! feet above the stones, whereupon the mercury rose to two hundred and eighty-two degrees. It is said the stones were "white hut," and that low llamcs from several holes between the stones could be seen leaping up around them. Two of the men who were to walk across the oven were examined by the Europeans before their daring act. Thoy wore garments about the neek and waist. Their feet aud legs were entirely bare. The soles of their feet were soft and flexible, showing that they had not beeu rendered permanently callous in any way. Iu order to detect tke presence of chemicals that might bave been applied for the occasion, various tests were made. Finally, at a signal, the seven ot eight natives who took part in the ox hiliition came down in single file to thi oven ami walked across the stones from one end of the pit to the other. They s|K>ut less than half a minute there. Immediately nfter they emerged the Europeans again inspected their feet, but eould find no sign of burning or blistering. Several Englishmen have tried this experiment, one of them a British re •Orient on one of the Society Islands, He stated that he felt something re sembling slight electric shucks, and ■ lint the tingling sensation continued for hours afterward, but that that was all. The tender skin uf his feet was uot even hardened by (Ire. Vet tin* atones were so bot that nn hour after ward green branches thrown on them caught fire and blared np. A REPORTER'S AEROPLANE RIDE I'HERE aro plenty of reporters at tbo aviation meets, but as their cbser vat ions are usually mado from terra firma, wo have so far had vory few accounts of how it really fools to ily. The man who runs tho machine haa other things to think about, and is not usually a graphic writer. A correspondent of the London limes, liuw r, recently took an air trip, being ited to go because he weighed 196 pounds. The aviators wero having a weight-carrying contest. The wind was blowing about twenty miles an hour, ■ind the rest of the competitors declined to tako the risk, so tho aviator and tho reporter bad a "walk-over," but not as tame as most victories of that kind. We read: "The worst part of such a journey for the novice is the waiting until e very thi i g is ready for the start. Tho sensation of anticipation is not unlike lho feeliig that one has when one ia wuttii g for a wounded boar to break cover from the corner into whicli ho is driven. But onco tho propeller starts lo whirl behind you all other thoughts hey und the exhilaration of rapid motion vanisn.

Of the motion of flight it •a difficult to speak clearly, Even in the high wind that Mr. Grace was now elmbiig, it was not more than the sensation ot a beautifully balanced motor' enr, Thc earth—in this case the sward of the Lanark racecourse—seemed to be racing away from under us, and In a flash we were level with the first pyl and the judge's box. "The machine was now up to 150 feet, and 1 became engrossed in Mr. '1 race's method in flyi. g. It seemed to mo that his attention was glued to his elevating plane, with just moment' uy glances out of his eyes to judge tho distance by which he had to thuu each pylon in its turn. Wo were now crossing fields and water. I rould observe the gates, the wire foiiceH, and i man bathing in the water. Then wo went nround into the wind. Our pace immediately Blackened, and Mr. Grace vas working to keep his machine in the air. As we crossed s road we were going so slowly that I could observe the direction of the hoof marks of a horse that hid recently passed.

A YOUNG COUPLE MARRIED BT PROXY MVRRIAGES by proxy are yet allowed by law iu Cuba, On Wednesday (Bays a Cuban nnwspaper, a marked copy of which hns been sent us by a Toronto mnn now in Jamaica) one of these weddings took plnce in this city it the residence of Mrs, floler on the Mnleeon. when her daughter. Sta. Monl- na Holer, became the wife of Mr. Francis Rur., son of the well-known broker of this city, who is now in Paris. Sr. Bit sent a power of attorney to his friend, Speaker Orestes Forrara, and another to Br. Manuel Torres. Br, Torres represented the bridegroom at the wedding, aa Sr. Ferrara was away in Santa Clara. The ceremony wm performed by the placed the offending finger in the hinges of his table, which was attached to the cell wall, and violently raised the leaf, with the result tbat the finger was absolutely shattered and had to be removed." Another ease, even more remarkable in its way, was that of the notorious American criminal, Uidwoll, who was sentenced to penal servitude for life in connection with the Bauk of Kngland forgeries. "Ho was in good health on conviction, but never did any active work iu prison. Feigning loss of power in hiB legs, he lay in bed from day to day, nud from year to year, defying ull efforts of persuasion, aud resisting ull unpleasant coercive measures devised to make him work. Wheu I saw him at Dartmoor at the end of eight or nino yoars of his sentence, loug disuse of his legs had rendered hiin almost a cripple. Thc muscles wero extremely wasted, and both hip aud knee joints were contracted iu a state of semiflexion, so that ho lay doubled up in a bundle. - Though he was examined time after time by experts, no one succeeded In discovering auy organic disease, or auy cause for his condition other than his own firmly expressed determination never to do a day s work for the British Government—a threat which I believe he ultimately carried out." Probably the biggest cannibal orgy on record is one of which Miss Beatrice Grimshaw tells in "The New New Guinea" (Hutchinson). "In 1858 a shipload of Chinamen was being taken down to Australia. The vessel was wrecked upon a reef close to Rossel Island (New Guiuoa). The oflicers escaped iu boats, but wore never afterwards heard of. As for the Chinamen, numbering 326, the natives captured them, and put them on a small barren island, where they had no food, and no means of getting away. They kept their prisoners supplied with food frum the mainland, and every now and then carried away a few of them to eat, until nil but one old man had been devoured. This one succieded eventually in getting away, and told something of the story, which seems to have met with general disbelief. True it is, however, on the evidence of the sous of those who did the deed." A characteristic story of John Bright is told by Mrs. T. P. O'Connor in her now book, "I Myself." He was at dinner one night with nn M.P: whose wife by no means shared her husband's democratic sentiments. John Bright wag sitting near his hostess, and she was rather annoyed at having hiin among her snuirt guests, und thought to give him a direct snub, bo she said during a pause in the conversation: "Mr. Bright, this rug, I understand, was made by you, ami * am very dissatisfied with it. I have ouly had it a short time, and it Ib very shabby and badly made." "Is itt'* said Mr. Bright, getting up deliberately from the table and taking l silver candelabrum which he put lown upon the floor aud, getting upon his knees, closely examined the carpet. "You are quite right." he said, blithely getting up. "It is a bad carpet, and I will order my firm to send you another in its place.'' And then tie calmly resumed his political couversation aud the dinner went on. LITTLE TALES FROM NEW BOOKS "llHt; infamous Captain Morgan and 1 his piratical crew were sometimes in tight places in Panama, and on one occasion were reduced to eating their leathern bags. "Some persons,'* says one of the company, Kxuuemelin (whose narrative is reproduced in "The Buccaneers iu the Went Indies"), "who never were out of their mothers' kitchens may ssk how these pirates could eat, swallow and digest these pieces of leather, bo hnrd and dry. Unto whom 1 only answer: That eould tbey experi ment what hunger, nr, rather, famine is, *hey would certainly find the manner, by their own netessity, as the pirates did. First, those took the leather and sliced it in pieces. Then did they beat it between two stones and rub it, often dipping it in the water to render it by these means supple and tender. Lastly, they scraped off the hair and roasted or broiled it upon the fire. And being thus cooked tbey cut it into smnll mor sels and ate it, helping it down with frequent gulps of water, which by good fortune they had right at band." Malingering is common in jail, but surely a case quoted from his own experience by Br, Qninton, the late Governor of Hollr.way, in "Crime and Crim- nals" (Longmans) is a record.

And yet, if the question be thoroughly probed, it will be found that many murderers would escape the just award of the avenging law if circumstantial evidence were no long er admissible. Those who premeditate murder, as a rule, take every precaution to avoid direct evidence. In the majority of cases the murderer is caught in the toils of circumstantial evidence whieh he alone has supplied. The pieces of uiiderelr.thing, the scrap of hair, the portion of flesh with the scar of an old abdominal operation—all these might have boen destroyed by Crippen. Minder will out. Falsehoods cannot be woven into tho fine unbroken web of truth. A dose examination reveals tht flaws of the most adept criminal who seeks to cover his footsteps, The so called romance of crime lies in the in gouious devices by which the accused endeavors to throw the sleuth hand of justice off the scent. They spin such a many web that they themselves are caught in its toils. Who has not heard of these famous partners in crime, whose figures hold a place of honor in Madame Tussaud's chamber of horrors! The thrill of horror with which the public learned of their gruesome traffic led to the passing of the Anatomy Aet. Here was an organized, dividend-paying partnership, syndicated for the supply of corpses to the unsuspecting anatomists, and, as a mere incident in the ungodly trade, for the forcible emigration from this world of many poor waifs and strays, who, despite their helpless despair, clung tenaciously to life. Having selected an easy and unsuspecting victim, Burke, the diplomatist and soft-spoken benevolent friend, tracked tbe quarry to hia lair. Here his partner smothered the shrieks of those who protested against "the deep damnation of their taking off;" some, doped with drink and drugs, yielding up their spirits without struggle or alarm. The corpse was then sold to good, easy going Dr. Perkins, who asked no questions. Old washerwomen, idiots, the flotsam and jetsam of the streets, arrived nt this human abattoir singly on foot, and found their way to the dissecting table. Some, on tue pretext of having a drink, passed into tbe murderers' den, never to emerge alive. They were more valuable in death than In fife. Human wrecks whom no one wanted brought $50 each when ready for the hospital theatre. The very helplessness and friendliness of the (lasses preyed on proved to be the strong card in evading suspicion. No one wanted these poor, down-and-outa in life; in death thoir only market value was as subjects for the dissecting knife. The score of victims to the ere | dit of these ghouls was forty, and all seemed well until Hare, avaricious man. took in ledgers. This proved his undoing. Even with the sworn testimony of the lodgers, who were the horror- stricken eye-witnesses of the murder of victims, the prosecution eould only In* I ally succeed in accepting one of Ue partners in crime, Hare, as a Crowi witness, so well" had the firm coverel ibeir tracks, "Wo always took cue when we were going to commit murder,'' said Burko when the game wu up, "that no one should bo present- that no one should swear to seeing the deed done. They might suspect, bst they never saw.*' Burke, who suffered the extreme pea ally of the law, has enriched the Knglish language with a new verb. "To burko"—to sniolher, to get rid of noiselessly—is often used by the public speaker and Parliamentary debater, without auy thought or knowledge of its gruesome antecedents. Tho notorious case of the murderer. George Muilins, ia a typical instance of the tatai tendency of the criminal to weave tho noose for his own neck, Muilins was a policeman in Ireland and also in Kngland. After leaving the force he did odd jobs aa repairing col- tractor, and in this capacity did worh for old Mrs. Elmsley, a penurious, bus- picious old woman, whose house rente from tenants brought her iu tho cons- i'ort able weekly sum of i'J.00. Tho murder of this lonely old woman leaked out ou a Monday, and straiglilly pointed to robbery as the motive. It wu dourly the work of some one hungering for the weekly rents which she had collected ou the Haturday night. Muilins, the ex-policcman, wus ihu one being she trusted. Search proved that the old miser had disappointed the hopes of bar murderer, 'ihe money wus afterward! found carefully hidden away. No clue was found to tbo murderer. Tbe whole tragedy seemed wrapped in impene- 41 mystery. A reward of $1,500 was offered, and tho greed for money led Muilins to the scuifold. lle came forward to claim the reward, informing the police that tho crime hud bees committed by a friend of his, named I.iniiis. To the latter's house Muilins and tho police went, but no clue wat found. Unable to resist the glitter of tho big reward, Muilins cried: " Voo naven't half searched; look behind tbat slab there," pointing to a large stone in the yard. Under the slab was found a parcel containing spoons belonging to the murdered woman. The parcel wat Lied wilh a piece uf shoemuker's waxed curd. The eagerness of Muilins uud hit indiscretion in locating tue booty led to his arrest along with Kmms. The lat ter was a shoemaker, and Mulliu*, with a far-seeing cunning that failed him in tho end, had deposited the parcel in his neighbor's yard, aud in throw suspicion on an innocent man, had got pot- session by some means ui a piece of waxed cord, witb which to tie it. He went to the scaffold protesting to tht laat his innocence of the crime. The mills of Uud ground slowly bnt surely iu the case of Kugene Aram. Uo murdered Daniel Clarke, the mystery of whosedisappearauce was uot at tht time unraveled. Time passed, and tho name of Clarke was forgotten, save by the oldest inhabitants. The lapse of years brought a Beuse cf security, if not freedom from remorse, to the murderer. Bxcavutious led to the unearthing of a skeleton which set the memories of the older inhabitants jogging backwards to the fatal year of the die- appearance of Clarke. Au accomplice of Aram's, who, like Muilins, unwisely aired his superior knowledge, stubbornly insisted that the skeleton was not that of Clerke, To back up his theories against some of the inhabitants, be pointed out the spot where another skeleton hud been found. The sreond skeletmi was unearthed, aud Kugene Aram was placed ou trial for his life. He relied, like Crippen, ou the difficulty of identifying the remains, bnt the court and jury showed sound common sense'by sending him to lhe scaffold. Am.ther crime immortalized in literature was the murder of his young and beautiful bride by John Scanlon, a dashing young officer of twenty five, of good family, anil a great favorite in the highest circles. Staying over at Dublis uu his way home to Limerick, iu tho dnys of tbe rumbling cud uncertain stage coach, ho fell iu love with tho niece of a rope-maker (ominous trade!) named Ellen Conuedy. After the marriage they went to live ot Clin, County Limerick,* Ireland, where, within a few weeks after his marriage, Scanlon determined to get rid of his beautiful wife. lle selected ns his accomplice a servant mau named Sullivan. Inviting his wife for a row on the broad waters of tho Kiver Shannon one quiet evening, he did hed to death, and cast her body into the water. Presuming on his stand- iug ns a "gentleman," be gave out that his humblv-born wife bad turned out to be of indiucrent character, and had gono to America. How Crippen-like the story I I he lady's character was ton well- known, however, and few believed thit story. After a time her dend body wto cast up on the shore—mute wit neat against her cruel husband. Like Crippen, Rcanlon had mutilated the body of his victim so that it would be unrecognizable. Still the identity wns established oy a sensible jury of ber countrymen. The case was tried before Huron Smith, and he. fearing the great family interest of the accused ordered Scanlon to be hanged forthwith. His titled relatives were unable to reach Dublin in time, and Scanlon paid the death penalty. Out of these gruesome materials Gerald Griffen wove bis finest romance; Dion Boucicault his famoot "Colleen Bawn," and Benedict's "Lily of KiHarney."

Exhibits of fours and sixes are not only successful drawing cards at a ticket office nnd of great interest to boxholders, but are object lea- hods to breeders and teamsters, allowing the result of judicious feeding, fitting nnd careful handling. Thrro might be another clans added which, while uot bb interesting to box- holders and casual visitors, would ho of grtat value to breeders and men .lirei'tly interested and anxious to know which' breed possesses the greatest strength, most natural energy and longest endurance at hard work. Four or six hoi.ses wi-ightng from 1,600 to 2.000 pounds manipulated by an expert driver and hauling an empty wagon do not demonstrate the -fttH- nWlity of those horses, nor of the breed to which they belong. A demonstration of working capacity would be of intrinsic and prac tical value to men who wish to invest in the most serviceable horsos. Thc vni- uc- of nny raco track horBe, either trotter, pacer or rniuier, depends upon bit1 performance or thnt of his get. "Why should not thc drafter demonstrate his value by performance in his Hue! A severe public test would go farther iu nettling the question than all the statements and flaming advertisements or partizan communication.! ever written. First in such a contest should come purebred animals, for the reason that no animal can impart qualities which he does not possess nud which do not belong to the breed which he represents. Next to pttre-breds should come grades, hnt with them positive proof of breeding should be required, so that ench breed might have due credit. Regulations safeguarding the interests of all should be made and strictly enforced. The test should be severe enough to be conclusive, in ordor to be of any value to men desiring an honest test. » « « Horses on farms nro so frequently worked in pairs that it is very neces- sary that they should lit- well matched. BV this is not meant that the team should be closely alike in color, size nnd general appearance. It is desirable that her should be so, but this U only one and* by no means the most important part of the matching. It requires a good deal of skill and judgment to bring together a pair of horses that re semwe each other in nil characteristics sufficiently to work in harmony, und action comes first In this connection. Stylo is required in the action of any "lass c.f horse, nnd n team, each of which stands up to the bit in about the Bnmo way, is attractive to buyers, and pleasing to the man who drives it. A team ill matched In regard to action, strength nnd staying powers is a liberal source of irritation, no matter how nearly alike in color the horses may ho. Proper action—that is, strong. clean, vigorous movement of feet aud legs—is highly desirahle, and if it can be combined with general conformation nud coIot, so much the better. Size, to a certain extent, may be sacrificed for strength and conformation, but only within certain limit*. CARS AND FEED IN WINTERING HOQB TNDOUBTEDLY there are better _ methods of earing for and wintering hogs than some of us are practicing now, but if we all give our views and methods to tho public, we eau all derive some benefit from oni. another; for the practical hog breeder and feeder will always he on the lookout for pointers; he will sift out those good methods that best conform to existing conditions, und use the material he has on hand or that which will be cheapest for good results. None but a selfish breeder wiil try and keep all the good things to himself. We should all try and help out the beginners in the same business wo are in, as there is nothing so detrimental to any business ns to have a beginner fall fiat. It is the young man that will take our places sooner ot later, and if started right he will, beforo we know it, repay us in some way. It is useless to talk to the Young Know-It-Alls, for they will never aBk for advice, but they soon learn by experience at a high cost. 1 consider the best way to get next to one who wants to loam is to give our views through the press, for then they can take it for what they consider it is worth or let it alone, und follow their same old ruts.

It i_ inhabited by a half savage people who have an extraordinary taste for image making. They make images of everything imngiiinhlc, carving them out of'wood, nnd utilizing them an fetiches to keep off bad luck and evil spirits. For this Eurpose they hung ttiem up in their ouses, and sometimes the rafters are fairly crowded with ttio wooden images. Missionaries have made these people at least nominal converts to Christianity. They did their best for quite a while to discourage the business of manufacturing " idoli."—regarding the images aB corresponding to that description more or less. But the natives refuso to be bruken of tbo habit, and, without intending any irreverence, they have' not hesitated to produce carveti representations of angels, and of the missionaries themselves, the latter being appropriately adorned with stovepipe hats. SENDING PICTURES THROUGH SPACE A REMARKABLE development has bcen accomplished in connection with the telegraphing of pictures. Hitherto such work haB been confined to cortnin newspapers possessed of the requisite financial ability and enterprise to indulge in expensive and deeply scientific devices of a delicate character, necessitating the services of a skilled operator. Now, however, it is possible for nnyone to pos-. sess a picture telegraph nig apparatus ud thus Becure quicklv pictorial illustrations of far-off scenes. This invention has been perfected by Mr. T. Thome-Baker, whose telec- trograph has superseded tlu* Korn apparatus for tbe transmission of pictures between London and Paris or Manchester for the "Daily Mirror"of London. It is n simplified modification of tlte telectrograph, great Ingenuity having heen displayed in its design and operation so as to render it work able by anyone. It is completely self contained and occupies no more space, nor weighs more, than a typewriter. Closed, and with a strap, it can be car rled over tho shoulder as if it were an ordinary camera. The single apparatus ean be used both as a transmitter and receiver. There is the revolving drum over which the style moves, transmitting and receiving the varied tonos and shades DANIEL SAUNDERS Shoal Lake, Man., June llth, 1910 "For years I was bothered with persistent Dyspepsia and Indigestion, having severe p.iins after meals and I tried everything tti.it I could get but the pain in my stomich became no better, A druggist recommended "Fruit-a- tives."

The apparatus is similarly within tha reach of private residents and commercial houses and should be useful i» transmitting diagrams, sketches, and drawings which have hitherto had to be mailed or sent by train. It is only necessary to call up the number required on the telephone line and request the coupling up with thc wire of the receiver, and the pictorial message cam be quickly transmitted, thereby saving severul hours of possibly valuable time. M the elder Sothern Costiveuess and Its Cure.—When tbe excretory organs refuso to perform their functions properly the Intestines become clogged. This is known as costiveness, and if neglected gives rise to dangerous -amplications. Parmolee *s Vegetable ill-effeot/A speedy cure. At the ^■■^-^tliBifttioniiDf this ailment the suf: feror should procure a packet, ot the pills and put himself under a conrse ot treatment. The good effects of the pills ' immediately evident If a gentle horse be hitched to a tree or other immovable object and commanded to poll, he will at firBt pull all he can; the seeond time he will not pull with qulto so much confidence ns at first; while on the third or fourth at tempt he will pull but little, or perhaps net at all. To whip and urge htm to pull would only start in him the habit of balking. If a horse i» overloaded or so exhausted that he cannot pull the load, and In this condition ia whipped and urged (9 go, he will balk; or if he starts too" qmeltly and if pulled back violently and whipped till confused and excited,, the. habit of balking is begun. Thus we see that this habit is purely ac quired the same as kicking and other habits for which Ibere can hardly be anv reasonable excuse. | there are few men sufficiently gifted son I t^nk it advisable to pass the good metho**J5>loiig so thut all got a little benefit t'jdm them; nnd we certainly can all get-trome good by comparing notes. One of the principal things in wintor- ingbogs is the housing, ft is not necessary to have a high priced house; many of tbe expensive houses will iu the courBe of a few yenrs turn into breeding place for most of the contagious hog diseases, pnless disinfectants are continuously used. What I considl'i1 the best is the individual hog house—OxS or 8x0—as they cun be place.1 in Hue, and all but the front covered with straw until spring; It will make them divide np in bunches of not mote than six or ei.dit in a pen. If the doors are so that they open to the south, and a small tight foncc placed not far from them, they can be left open most of the time for ventilation; if tue funds or time are not available, a well-built straw shed wiil be better than some hog houses I have seen, but it should be built so that there !b enough ventilation.

You should by all means see that they have a dry bod. Tt should be changed ut least every two or three days, for the steam produced in cold weather will cause it to get wet and unhealthy much sooner than it would in warm weather. Next iu line I consider exercise. Have their feeding places some distance from Their sleeping quarters, even if you have to- tako otf your coat now and then to shovel a path in the snow to it. This is necessary especially with the sows kept for breeding. Exorcise will tend to make them stronger] and then they will farrow a strong and large litter f the exercise is had long enough be- ore brooding time. It may be that the fall pigs will have to be kept inside all the time through the severe cold weather; if so, it will lie well to have their quarters closo to tho cow or horse barn; then they ean tnke a run back of tht cows an hour so every day. It will he time well spent to see that they get this run. Before winter s< ts ia it is well to feed a rstf>n with a large percentage of oats and other muscle forming feeds to make them strong. They do not need to be fat enough for market to stand the rigors of a severe winter, but a good supply of meat covering the body will help keep up the animal heat. As soon as it is cold the feed should have more heating material in it than is contained in outs; the lust available in this country is barley chop. In the corn belt they always food corn to supply the heat. A little taste of mangolds every dav will help to keep the bowels in condition and keep the digestion in good working ordor. This is as necessary with live stoek as oil ou nny kind of machinery. Bo always watch that part of your feeding operations. Pigs of uniform size should be kept together, for if yon have smnll ones among tho larger ones the little tellows will havo to take the outside, or eold sido, or they will pile on to» of the others after they have gone to Bleep.

Although our Canadian Election law ia generally looked upon as one of the best systems in the world it is yet far from perfect, and although it may be laid down as an axiom that majority rule should prevail, it yet remains a fact that many representatives of the people in both Dominion and Provincial houses and on Municipal Council boards, are really minority representatives. As an illustration let us take the case of Mayor Morley of Victoria, who, although he led his highest opponent by SOO votes, never the less fell 800 short of having a majority of all the votes polled. In Germany, when there are three or more men running for an office, unless the man polling the largest number of votes receives a majority ofall the votes cast, the candidates receiv ing the lowest number of votes is dropped from the contest and another contest held, in which the electors have the pri vilege of voting for the men receiving the most votes in the first polling, This system insures that every man elected to office must be a majority representative. Had the citizens of Victoria the privilege of choosing their mayor under a system such as we have outlined, it is a certain ly that Mayor Mosley would not lie the Chief Magistrate of that city today. Last year ex-Mayor Macdonald of this city was elected in a three cornered fight, and was a minority representative, and had it been necssary for him to have secured a majority of all the voter cast, it is probable that he would have failed, and another man would have occupied his seat as a Majority represt- atives and as Mayor. it is high time that the law was changed in the manner we have suggested, so that the wishes of the majority Bhould prevail as to who should represent them.

The faet of the matter is that tbe hobble skirt is not merely un eccentricity: it iH a style —the style of thtj long, straight lines. Exaggerated, of sonrse, it has been, by the placing of two obvious extreme bands around the lower part of the skirt, but one must not loee sight of the purpose of it all in condemning the means osed. flM**?* <&fift m u^n able effect when used as rovers and facings upon a jacket of black velvet or as an edging to a tunic. Again, wc have the long, close-fitting mantle of silk or satin in very high favor until tho time cf furs comes round, and perhaps' even after tbat. These garments, whish reacb practically to tbe foot of the skirt, are in tho one piece, uud aro loosely adjusted at the waist. They are plain aud flat, without any adornment whatever beyond the big buttons of the same material in front, the fancy collar, and Ue lining, usually mude cf blaek silk or satin, as soft and supple uh possible. Thoy are lined with fho same material, but in some delicate shade, Buch as fawn, cerise, pale grey, or white, which may bc Been In tho revere, or not openly shown at all, but merely disclosed by glimpses as the mantle swings open. Thp broad sailor collar still appears in these, but the most fashionable style of the moment is to bave enormous rovers in front, entirely covering the breast aud falling in folds and gathers like a huge ruffle. The latest idea in millinery also is to trim hats with the entire skins nf Btnall animals like the muskrat, marmot, or polecat, the pelt being laid on flat over crowu and brim, usually without auy artificial embellishment, such as a hoad. Of course, with fur iu sueh demand, it is inevitable that imitations fihould be largely introduced, and of these thc common rabbit provides the moat uBual basts. They ean do up rabbit skins so skilfully now as almost to defy the detection of any but experts. Very mueh <it the sealskin used is made in this way, which no doubt accounts for the fact that this fur will be loss fashionable this winter than it was this time last year, when it was all the rage. Rabbit skins, too, may bo made to imitate many other kinds of fur, and, when well made np, fetch quite a high price, even among the wholesale dealers. TWO THOUSAND PHOTOGRAPHS A SECOND WILL the problem of aerial flight be finally solved by the cinomatographf To the average person, perhaps, there seems no possible connection between the two. When it is explained, however, that an apparatus has recently been invented which will enable cinematograph pictures to be taken at the rate of two thousand a second, affording opportunities of fully Investigating the flight of insects, and thus arriving at a true understanding of tho many problems met with in aviation, tho value of the cinematograph to the aviator will be readily understood. This cinematagraph is the outcome of experiments on the part of a French scientist—Lttflien Bull, of Paris—who has developed a most ingenious method, which greatly increases the scope of tbe cinematograph by augmenting its speed. Whereas the ordinary apparatus takes from thirty to fifty pictures during a second, this high speed cinematagraph enables as many as two thousand views to be taken during this short interval, The apparatus consists mainly of a pasteboard roll bearing on its circumference a photographic, film, which, under the action of uu electric motor, rotates with extreme rapid- FREAKISH HARNESS INVENTIONS IN no other place in the world can oho see such evidences of the im meuse amount of energy wasted over impossible or impracticable ^themes us in the Patent Office at Washington. Two of these inventions have reference to tbo safety of those that ride behind horses. The first is an expedient to prevent horsos from running away. The contrivance consists of a strong chain pass cd ubout the forelegs of the animal, and kept supported against his chest by a lino secured to the dashboard, lf the animal takes fright and run* away the line is simply loosened, allowing the chain to fall to the horse's knees. ThiB is expected tc, throw him down and break his legs. Another still more ingenious' expedi eut aims not only at keeping tho horse from running away, but at protecting him from exposure to storms and tc the rays of the sun, and at saving the euer gy wasted in descending hills. With a bold stroke the inventor loft all conventional methods behind. He placed the herse under the wagon in stend of before it, arching the vehicle above him. Thus the animal is protect ed from the weather and he does not obstruct the view. A strong canvas and leather band en circles the horse's body, tbe ends of it being passed upward through the bot torn of the wagon and attached by chains to a windlass above the flooring. With this device, should the burse at tempt to run away, er have to descend a steep hill, the driver calmly turns the crank and lifts the animal off his feet. i ':■■/■ Black Velvet Coat with Chinchilla Collar aud Cutis Now theso ImtiiU are not usod, but the elTi luce is still there, and skirts are ns tight a were.

Moreover, the ordinary illumiiiauts uro far from possessing thc intensity required for producing a suflicient impression ou the lilm during su short uu interval. Thc inventor therefore avuils himself of the electric spark, which unites two most essential properties, viz., instantaneous irradiating uud enormous photographic efficiency.

Miss Ruwh's, us she was till 1901, was the daughter of a fine and Ihe full upper | old Virginian family, descended from Kli/.nbetban settlers, il appear still but who, IIko many other Southerners, had lost their fortune aud become impoverished. Miss Hawles made up her mind to restore them, and some fifteen years ago went to New York, starting ns stenographer und typist. Her tnlents soon brought her out of tho ruck, und she was appointed secretary to President McKinley's Campaign Bureau, aud afterwards official reporter to the Venezuela Boundary Com miss! on, Next, we tlud her in London arranging contracts for the Central London Railwny, and living in grent style at the Savoy Hotel, where she gave splendid entertain merits.

W. King, in Canadian Courier) IjlVERYONK who visits tbe Canals dian West seems to have an obsession that he hae discovered tbe country. This is quite trying to our friends who have to listen to us upon our return. Indetd, bo one, not even the volunteer who fought in Bonth Af rica, or the man who onee lived in the Yukon, is so liable to take the floor and keep it ae the traveller returned from the West. Bnt published accounts are apt to be somewhat uniform in express ing astonishment and admiration. Much as I admire the West, I cannot suy that I was greatly astonished. I think before going West that 1 had a pretty fair idea ol its condition and prospects, I was not stunned hy the sight of Winnipeg, having been long familiar with the City of Toronto, I was not amazed by the great fields of grain on either side of tht? railway track, because 1 wns quite prepared to believe thnt one hundred and twenty million bnshels of wheat produced in three provinces must naturally grow in the fields and he quite visible to persons passing through that part of the country. I think I had a fairly accurate idea before leaving the Bast of the else of the various cities and towns between Winnipeg and Vancouver, although 1 had lumped Begins, Edmonton and Calgary in uiy mind as being about the same size, which was quite unfair to one of the three. I will not say which, as I may bave occasion to go West again, 1 ean quite understand that people who have seen a town founded must exult in its growth and returning after a time be astonished to find a substantial city of twelve or fifteen thousand where they had left a few straggling houses. Bnt the traveller who arrives for the- first time at Saskatoon or any othft* "toon ' sees only a city of so many people, neither larger nor better, although younger than many other cities which he has visited, Charles Dickens was probably unfair to the United States of his day in "Martin Ohuzzlewlt"; but the fleld was ripe for a Satirist, and thero are features of life in tbe Canadian West which invite some kindly, even though it muy be an unwelcome criticism. One encounters, for example, what may not unjustly be termed a "pose" among certain Western people. Because tbey nre in the West they feel thut they mnet nfleet what might have been racy of Ihe soil iu cither Canada or the Vailed Stutes fifty years ago. The pioneer who lived with his family alone in tbe forest, fought Indians, killed bears, and was only overtaken in old age hy people and civilization, had a certain contempt for some refinements of life and a rugged independence, nlmost indifferently, bred by his lonely life of hardship, adventure aud privation. He was a type aud more or less a law to himself, and he had a certain right to he "wild and woolly" in the midst of civilization, if civilization insisted upon overtaking him. But can we look with favor upon anything erode or srass iu people who "pioneered" not by blazing e trail through the forest, but by buying tick cts and sleepiug-ear berths from the railway companies; wbo have never spent a day or night outside of a well populated town; who have never been iu a house uot equipped with plumbing and hot water, und who havo found nb Bolutely no' difference i" their comfort or environments by moving from On tario to Saskatchewan or Albertat I must protest ngaiusl tho affectation of "hustle," about which we hear much from the West. I think that ipi* uu less inclined to hurry up tlu further West you go. t'ertsinly the ser ice found iu shops aud hotels would not be tolerated for an hour iu tbe Kast. is uncertain whether to be angry or amused. At a good sized town I went lnt* the harbor shop of tho principal hotel quite early in the morning. Thero was a gentleman ahead of me, a rather portly, fine looking man, and In reply to his' good-morning I said, looking around me, for apparently uo barber was in sight: "I wonder what chance I huve of getting shaved f" "You are after me," ho said laconically, removing his eoat and collar. No r.ue. appearing, ho then proceeded t-> shave himself. When ho had finished and wiped hiB foco ho stepped to the back of the chair and motioned me to get in. Tho portly gentleman wns the barber, and ho naturally shaved bim- If before attending to a customer. At Moosejaw I asked a bootblack to shine my saoes, nt the same time mounting a chair which stood on tht sidewalk uear a barber Bhop. "All right," he said. "Just wait there a few minutes; I'm going in for a shave." M'litary fever iB quite acute in the West, and amusing stories are told at ihe expense of tho newly-fledged officers. Oue gallant major at a church parade is said to have marched hiB bat talion into tho wrong church. But a few moments later, although the service was well under way, he re-formed bis soldiers and marched them out again. People undoubtedly have made money in the West quickly, and the opportunities there are better fur many people than they are in the East. I do not doubt that some men are doing well in tbe West wbo would starve to death in the East. For a time I labored under the impression that anybody who came West and Hayed loug enough would automatically become a millionaire. I inferred it must be automatically because I could not see that the men who lived by their pens were any better paid —or, taking everything together, were as well paid—us their brethren ia the East, wbo usually fall short of acquiring au even million. Still, it is die. concerting to be told "if yon bad beeu here tbree years ago yon ceroid havo got that lot over there for tbree dollars and a half, aad today it la worth tbree hundred asd fifty thousand dollars." Yon feel you would eertainly have been there if yon bad only known it. One Buuday we were at Battleford, tbe ohl capital of the Northwest Territory. It is situated in a beautiful country, but for years had no railway connections, and meanwhile a new Battleford—North Battleford—haB grown up on the other side of the river. Well, here at Battleford wo were shown the first issue of the first paper printed west of Winnipeg. It preceded Hen. Frank Oliver's Edmonton Bulletin by tbree years. It was not a large paper then, and it hi not a large paper now. It is still iu possession of the family of Mr. P. 6. Laurie, the able mnn who founded it, but other papers founded by bim, in Ontario, for example, proved better money-making ventures than tbis first newspaper in the Canadian West. Even Mr. Oliver would probably have dono as well in a financial way had he never gone West. Tbe man who walks in midwinter from Edmonton to Winnipeg will not long remain a poor man in any part of the country. One drawback to the Western visit is the obligation the visitor is under of loohing at wheat fields and giving an opinion as to how many bushels it will run to the acre. I was honest enough to admit that I did not know wheat from onts or outs from barley, bnt it availed me nothing. I was called upon to hasard guesses until I was driven to fremy. Sometimes I would guess two bushels to the acre, and if this seemed too low I would guess two hundred the next time I was asked. What I most objected to was getting cut uf tbe automobile in the dust, climbing fences and standing in the growing grain, looking nt it in a voeaut manner and trying to be enthused. It was a grent relief to strike British Columbia, where they did not seem to have any grain. I also became somewhat nervous on the subject of real estate values. When a man would Bay, "Do you see that corner lot over there? It waB sold for two dollars and forty cents two years ago; what do you think it is worth nowf" I would be at a Iosb what to suy. If I guessed five dollars or some liko amount iny interlocutor would be come indignant, and yet he would seem disappointed if I named a figure like two million dollars. I finally hit upon the expedient of always saying "one hundred thousand dollurs," Sometimes it seemed absurd ty low and sometimes a little high, but I positively refused to become excited wheu a different amount was mentioned, Bnt the Western people are all right. If they did not boom their country no- one else would do it for them. It may not be a get rich-quick proposition, but it is surely a get enough to eat proposition, which, nfter ull, is whut we are all of us after.

Some reason wub always advanced by wuy of explanation by those whose repeated attempts hud affrays resulted in complete failure, and Still he lived and spread havoc along tne lishing grounds. lie invariably Same off victorious—each time leaving three or four expensive rigs smashed St the end of the fight.

Thus I figured out the cost of battle, ss we went iuto camp that night. It wus late—too late on the tide to put Out the big lines theu. So we content- •d ourselves, my man and I, with discussing our plans for the following dny, while we carefully examined our fining gear. The streaks of early dawn found us Op und on the move. Assigning to t>ave the task of putting out aud sUk Ing ihv big lines, I pushed on to the plough that separated the fishing fruunds from the main beach, and. Crossing waist deep, found myself on tbe big reef known as Southest Break Cr—a long, low sand bar that reached annoying crabt and small fish. Another hour passed, and still our lines rode straight out in front of us. This was liacourugiug. As for me, my legs gave out aud i was tired and disgusted with ibe monotonous routine of throwing out and winding up again, without a single bite to encourage uie. Where tbe lisli bad gone to I knew not, However, the water on tbe bar was not yet deep enough for bass, and, after ull, we had the whole duy ahead of us and the best of the tido to tisli out. So, witb tbese cheering reflections, I retreated to higher ground, and, being somewhat exhausted, sat on my box uud dozed—lulkd by thc soothing sound of rippliug water that unceasingly swept in and as unceasingly retreated, carrying with it the annoying little minnows tbat viciously nibbled at my white toes as thoy lay half-submerged iu tbe soft sand aud shallow water of iht. reef. Fifty yards away, like statue cut out of ebony, stuod Dave, my faithful friend and servant, with drooping bead and closed eyelids—bim self a victim to the seductive inllueuce of the hour and tbe narcotic effects of tbe salt sea air. Away out, somewhere in tbe mysterious depths of that great heaving mass of waters, lay our hues. Armed with six big steel hooks, each baited with a mullet and anchored wilh great sinkers of some two pounds each, and bo eon structed as to withstand tbo undertow and thus keep tbe rig in position. Fear ing thut I might lose my line by having it jerked out of my hand duriug one of my cat naps, I made a noose, through which I inserted my hand; then, tightening it somewhat around my wrist, I ouce more gave way to the drowsiness that for the lust two hours had takeu complete possession of me. Turning up tbe collar of my coat to protect my neck aud throat, I endeavored to keep awake awhile—heartily wishing myself ensconced amongst, the blankets of my tent, nestling snugly amid tbe distant saud dunes of the Point. The crash and roar of the breakers grew fainter and more remote. My senses grew confused, and soon I wns dozing soundly —ouly to be ruthlessly awakened by a jerk tbnt almost dislocated my arm. The next moment I found myself pulled from my seat into the shallow water aud being rapidly towed to sea at a rate that almost took away my breath. At first I attempted to make a stand— iligging my toes into the sand and bracing for dear life. Hut I might just as well have pitted my puny strength against that of a tugboat, as to attempt to turn the big fish at the end of my line. It did not take me a seeond to realize what hud happened. I had hooked many a shark, clam-cracker and other hi avy and hard pulling fish frequenting this coastline, but nothing wh> faront h>N»«d-^«aiNW«d Blr th could approach tlmt* of this only by the highest tides.

He was very much concerned at having wm tbe big spotted fsb. he said, some distance down the beueti and heading our way. He wns cure of trouble, for his right enr hud - been ringing all the morning, "and dat shore am au on failing sign." Accordingly, hh is the custom of tbe superstitious blacks, he made a cross upon the sands, spat upon his Une, and heaved It far out intent upon getting the frst bite and landing the first bass, I now searched every inch of the Wblte sweeping wuKto before me for the big fins and mottled body of Spotted Jiiek; but, us it was still dark, I saw «0thlng to alarm me; so hopefully sur- mined that he had taken some other route—leaving us to enjoy our fishing Without interruption. The flood tide flowed in sluggishly, taking n long time to cover the tail of the reef aud fill the slight depression thereon, in which we expected to have tbe best sport and catch the most fish. Consequently wo had a long time to Wait—patiently standing in the chilly wnter tit four o'clock in the morning, With a raw breeze blowing from the South enst which penetrated tbe innermost recesses of the body and caused one to sigh for the sheltered seclusion Of tho ever warm myrtle thicket and protected sand dunes of the Point.

Mj fish was fighting to gain deep wutei while I strained every nerve in my body to turn his head uud coax him shoriwnrd. The line cut iuto mv wrist fearfully, and I made several fruitless attempts to loosen up the slipknot, bul never succeeding in accomplishing any thing, gave it up and exerted all m\ st reugth in trying to part it. In this I likewise failed. Things were uow tfricing a serious turn. Utiles* 1 eould detach myself from the line, I would surely be curried beyond my depth and drowned. Even now, I was half strangled by tbe ducking 1 got every few minutes; for the short rollers, racing shoreward, would bit mo a -tap that would completely submerge my entire body from head to foot. Then I would pop up un thu other side, only to see a straight bar of white line cut ting deeply through the next wave—a line, too, made of our famous long stapled Sea Island cotton, strong and tough as a bar of steel wire. I groaned in spirit, for I well knew thnt it would cut through my wrist, even to tho bone, before there would pnrt one fibre of the tough and closely spun cotton cord. No —thero was no earthly chance of its parting. This I knew, and my heart almost stopped beating as I thought of what the very next few minutes might bring about. Diet Henvensf I could not die with just a smnll line, a mere cord, between me and freedom. Break It t would, even if the blood flowed and the flesh tore apart. Thoroughly excited, T continued to yell ut tbe top of tny voice for Dave, hoping he would come to my rescue. Deeper and deeper grew the water, ns the great fish slowly forced me out into the great swash of big, choppy sens, each of whieh lifted tne clear of tbe beloved bottom and so deprived me of foothold—my only means of retarding his seaward progress. Turning mr head to one side, to avoid the fearful slap and buffet of an incoming wave, I caught sight of an object struggling amid the flvlng spray and veiling as only an excited black can yell. Aht the sweet music of those veils! Ohl the love that welled ap in my heart when I heard David's cheery ■ oice shouting words of eucourageineui is he flourished aloft a big sheath knife and breasted the short waves of thi oauk, on his way to tbe swash beyond. 'Hold um, Bosh!" ho yelled, between ,'uspe. "Try for turn um, alarse Cecil. Jak big spotted debill lie shore done got you dis timet I'm coinin' all 1 itui!" Theso words came to me acrost j. vast field of whirling white foam aud oroken water, but obi the music of it ull I, Still I tugged and fought—now strangling, now gasping, as euch giant wave would deluge mo on its wuy to .be distant beach. A minute more, and i. boo David's black hands grasping tbe stout cord and fuel bis big shoulder at, it jostles against mine in a frantic ef i'ort to stay tbe outward rush of the uuw thoroughly frigbteued fish. "lhe first chance you get, Dave, foi God's sake give me the knife!' "Ves, Boss, I ready, sab. Shore, fust chancel" he replied, as we dogged ly fought aud tugged, while the cross teas of the bunk buffeted us about au libitum. Giddy from the whirl auu •.wish of the onrusbing breakers, oui neads swam und *o felt weak and faint ircm tbe strain of the heavy pull. Up and down the big reef we ruced. Oui to the surf Une; then in again we work ed panting. Now almost drowned b) iu avalanche of spray from some un perceived wave; anon gasping foi iireath, as tbe salt spray would be fore od into our heaving luugs. AU the while losing ground, foot by foot we ad v-anced further into the great stretch of moving, swaying green wuter of the channel, with never the ghost of a chance to check his outward run and .nuke a stand for even a moment. Oh! for tho knife in the darkie's band! 1 bad not time to reach for it and he less lo let it go and hand it to me. My left hand was always employed in eas iug the straiu ou my right wrist; other wise the Une would have soon cut cleui through to tho bone. Now a jerk throws us forward on oui faces, far beneath the surface of tbe tide. Dave is the flrst to regain hit feet aud I see him fumbling for tbt weapon I um so anxious to possess. I muster up enough breath to shout out, "Quick! The kniftl" Theu down again we go together. A moment ol feurful ear-ringing aud again we are up, frantically coughing the water from throat ami lungs, i feel that tbis can uot lust long. "Try for turn um. Boss! Try for turn umi We gwiue lor drown!" comes in gasps from mj dusky companion, and I know thut be. too, is failing. Even now I am on the point of giving up and quietly drown iug, just us a puppy or kitten would il repeatedly pushed beneath the surfnee by the baud. I feel weak aud dazed-. But, eveu as I give up, my fish seem* to weaken for tbe first time since hook od. The great strain of a moment ago suddenly relaxes snd the white streak of line falls and disappears in the whirl und sweep of white water that rtshe- across the great bauk; my fish, to all appearances, has escaped; but, expert enced as I am, 1 know tbe contrary. No such good luck! He ia merely run uing in witb the line nnd in ul! probubi lity will be amongst us in a jitfy. Ap prehending being toru to pieces by hit sharp teeth, we beat a hasty retreat shoreward — straining waiy*e. deep against the undertow and n.,v/ng a fearful outcry, to intimidate 'L.a. if possible. Our progress, uf course, is slow and tedious, while bis would be us swift as a swallow's. Now, too, was my chance for cutting my wrist clear, ('ailing for the knife (which was handed me before the words were out of tny lips), I quickly slashed the stout cord nnd wus once more free. I had had enough fishing for one day; so I fought my way steadily through the surf for the beach, some seventy five yards away and glistening ia the noonday sun. Being uow free, I direct my attention to lengthening our lines, thereby add iug a hundred and fifty feet to my ul ready long rig and proportionately in creasing our chances of lauding hiin safely ashore without the former risk of being obliged to follow bim iut. deep water. My arm beiug ulso re leased, I could let go when tlu struin grew too great for my bauds. Ves; I was now safe and bent on revenge! With two long lines—some 35i) leet—und my hand free, I felt sure that he was mine. Now, catch bim 1 would. So, letting tbe coil drop in the tide, I grasped tbe end firmly aud awaited the outward rush that 1 kuew would come, sootier or Inter, as he shoaled. But tbe swash still separated us from tbe mainland und I felt I wits crowing too soon. Waist-deep still, with plenty of wnter to float a big fish all around us and with my skin creeping and momentarily expecting tbe grip of bis powerful jaws, we struggled on. Suddenly there arose close by a gieat whirlpool of white water and u cloud of spray, out of which popped two enormous dorsal fins. A piercing yell from Davo and a freezing of my heart'» blood! But just then, thank heaven! something alarmed him, and he wus oil again—taking tbe slack as he goes out. Out seaward he darts, while we tug and strain at tbe long lino that burns hnd gnaws at our bands like heated wire. "Let go, Boss! for Gors'mighty'i sake, let got He too much for me!" pleads Dave, disheartened at tbls uew reverse.

Now ve come in contact with some hugi ltppery obstacle, deeply imbedded ii he ever-changing quicksand of thr lue. To this I cling with a deathlikt ,-rip and call upon Dave to do tbe same. V quick turn around one of its projections and tbe job is complete. "Dat stop um!" cries Dave, between jasps, as the mammoth shark swings dde on and makes a mighty dive—tu soon vault high above the horizon Uue. Up! upt into tbe blue air he flies. Thei. lown again into his native element, imidst a cloud of feathery Bpray, he sinks from sight. Onee more we start .and ward, across tbe vast expanse of leething water—waist-deep aud put iug forth the best we have in us. Inking in the slack as we hustled; igain getting miserably entangled ii. he heavy line that wound itself around mr feet; staggering against each other iu our mad haste, and all tbe time 'earful of seeing two big fins and gog trie eyes pop up agaiu from the tttmb ing foam around us. Now we've only i few yards; theu the deep swash. Ugh! hat deep water! What might not be vailing therein for us? Where was the sharkI Ah! a jerk answers the question. The line again runs out. Feebly tbis time— giving us no trouble to check it. Yes; there ho is, slowly swimming in—worn •ut or drowned, us the flshermen style t. Now, for tbe first time, we note his huge proportions, ns he shoals in tbree :'eet of good green wuter and rolls slug Jisbly about iu the shallow sweep of be surf line. How the water flies, as lie raises bis big tail aud brings it dowu igain. "Walt on de tide, Boss. We can't novo um, sab," punts Dare, as be sits it rest,while little rills of perspiration base each other down his ebony cheeks iud fall into the shallow sweep of sea iround his feet. As for me, I am barm less. The reaction has set in, and I am ,lad to drop flat on the hard sand beach tnd gasp for the breath that was so liudly needed in my exhausted lungs, the question now arises, How to de -patch himf We dare not approach ,lie fish; ho is cross and still very much ■live, and I would uot venture withiu en feet of him, shoaled as be iB, for ull he money iu tbe country. Ever aud igain he makes feeble efforts to turn i award, but bis day bus come and we ire masters of tbe situation. Dave ■ roposts going to camp for tbe Winchester. A wise suggestion, to which 1 cudily agree, and arter a few minutes lie is back agaiu aud anxious to shoot he big fish, for he is fearful of its getting away and equally desirous of getting the liver to use as a charm iguinst evil spirits. So, taking a cure ul uim, he sends a bullet ploughing through the big head aud another iuto the body. A few convulsive shivers, ind thrashings of the huge tail, attest Dave's true eye and steady hand. 1 now decide to leave the carcass whore it is until tbe receding tide should leave it high aud dry. Then, after refreshing tbe inner man at camp, we are to return and measure our prize, aud, if possible, remove tbe lower jaw, to take home as a trophy of war. In two hours we ure back, to And our fish some twenty feet on dry laud. He is a monster all right, and curiously mottled, being different from any specimen I have ever seen, His jaw I hacked away, and succeeded in laying open my hand in two places white doing so. He had evidently strayed afar from bis native wuters—probably the Oarrlbean sen or Gulf of Mexico—and hud taken up his abode around our fish iug grounds, t should bave liked to weigh the body, as ho appeared to have the girth of a small pony, and, upon measuring, proved to be sixteen feet live inches—a length twice as great as any usually met with nrouud our coast. There nre no doubts of his having been uble to drown us both, withiu ten minutes of our hooking him, hud the hooks not entered high up in his upper jaw, very close to the shovel shaped part of the head—a placo known to every fisherman as a tender sput in a shark's head. This chance hooking. I believe, saved tny liff:, us he was not able to put forth a half of the pro digious strength at his command and thus got worn out by hia own exertions, Since then, I have never attached my line to any part of my person. One such experience ib certainly enough for mc, and I have learned wisdom at the colt of a nerve-racking adventure. neighbor happens U be within fighting .ibiauce. However, it must not be supposed hat all insect conflicts aro started in .his way. Battles which start through he songs of insects are always confined ,u one species, for there would be uo sexual rivalry, for instance, between a spider and a grasshopper. So fur, from personal observation, 1 havo found that the grasshoppers are by far thr most .Titabie clan* vt infects l thong themselves. They seem to enjoy :ghting better than eating, nud ire (iiently fight until ench has lust one nr nore limbs, and sometimes uotil oue succeeds iu killing the other. So great a their interest in these deadly battles hut tbey will allow themselves tn bc ilcked up and carried about, continuing the conflict in one's hand in the nost unconcerned manner Imaginable. The katydids constitute the loss quar elsome members of the grasshopper utnily. Their fights are far and few ictwcen, but extremely violent when nice started. I remember vividly u 'Httle between two of these insects .vhich I witnessed several years ago. It Happened close to tne edge of a small latch of woodland where several trees and beon cut and the stumps left standing from two to three feet above tbe ground. To the top of one of these -tumps a large katydid and hie mate Imd crawled, perhaps to onjoy their honeymoon. As I stopped to watch their ictions for a minute, a third katydid, ■ccing the happy couple, and feeling omewbnt jealous, shrieked an insult to hem from a nearby Btump. The offend- mI insect never uttered a sound, but, leaving hiB mate, flew direotly to the dher stump, where a fierce conflict ensued, ending only when the insulting •ne had bcen torn to pieces by his more mwerful rival, much to the satisfaction if the female katydid. The most furious of all insect battles tuke place between colonies of the nound-building ant. Their huge nests iro situated cIobo to the edges of shaded wood paths, sometimes near together ind at other times not within severul hundred feet of oue another. Here the •nine colonios will live, year after year, tt peucc or at wnr with one another, until nature's own forces wipe them out of existence. Picture to yourself wo of these cities equal in size and lopulutloii, and situated about one bun ired paces from each other; observe their countless numbers, equal to tbe population of two capitals. The whole ■•pace thut separates them, of twenty- 'our inches, appears alive witb prodigious crowds of their inhabitants. The following account was given by M. tluber of a battle which be witnessed i grent many years ago: The armies meet midway between their respective habitations, and thero ioiu battle. Thousands of champions, mounted on more elevated spots, engage in single combat, and seize one another with their powerful jaws: still greater number are engaged ou lo»th sides in taking prisoners, which make vain efforts to escape, as if conscious of the cruel fate which awaits 11 hem when arrived at the hostile formicary. The spot where the battle BLOOD-POISONING FROM OUT FINGER Serious Condition Believed by Zam Buh Mr. Jaa. Davey, 7Hti Ellice Avenue, Winnipeg, says: "A few mouths since I was cured of a poisoned fiuger through tbe timely use of Zam Buk, I cut a deep gush across the knekkle of tbe right hand, in opening a lobster can one evening. I suffered at tbe time with the soreness and pain ,but had uo ides it would become a serious wound. However, in ubout two days I wus greatly alarmed, as my whole hand and arm to ibe elbow becamo inflamed, and the finger was much discolored, showing signs of blood-poisoning. I'he pain was dreadful, uud I was forced to leave od my work and go borne.

SMALL, SWIFT, SURE rpiIE power pulley is au electrically A operated winch recently designed to enable quick coaling of warships. Apart from its original destination it may, however, be used for s multitude of other purposes both on land and on board ship. This pulley is designed for a load of sixty pounds at u lifting speed of sis feet per second. Four seconds arc thus required for lifting the whole basket to a height of twouty-three feet —taking into account the acceleration in starting und the slackening in stopping. The motor is sufficiently strong to stand temporary overloads up lo one hundreds pounds. Apart from its simplicity in operation, uud high working speed, the power pulley is especially valuable because of its euse of transport, the more so as on the modern ships of the Dreadnought type the fleck should be clew red as fa? ns possible for military operations; Tlu* motor is started by a simple switch without a starting box.

These groups are formed gradually. At first a pair of combatants seize each other, and, rearing upon their hind legs, mutually spurt their acid; then, closing, they fall and wrestle in tbe dust. Again recovering their feet, each endeavors to hug off bis antagonist. If their •strength be equal, they remain immovable until a third gives one the advantage, botb, however, ore often succored at the same time, and the battle still continues undecided; others take part ou euch side, till chains are formed uf six, eight or sometimes ten, all hooked together, and struggling per- ihiueimisly for the mastery. The equilibrium remains unbroken until a num- 'ier of champions from the same nest arriving at once compel them to let go heir hold, and the single combats re- cuittmrtice, At the approach of night, .■acb party gradually retires to its own ity; but before the following dawn the combat is renewed with redoubled fury, Hid occupies a greater extent of thc ground.

Tbe anger of honey-bees is frequently excited against tlieir own species, many a mortal combat taking place, louietimes within the hive, sometimes fithout, During these battles the bees, like lhe grasshoppers, arc so eager, that it is impossible to stop them without administering a comparatively hard blow of the hund. Their one object in ihese civil broils is to pierce their cue lilies with their stings, the stroke of which, if tt once penetrates to the muscles, is mortal.

The morning after the Hood had reached its highest point, a stream of waler broke through the ceiling of a meat shop in thut town from a resile nee above. A hurried investigation -bowed that a rat bad gnawed away more thuu half of a two inch lead pipe leading to u sink ubove.
