The Illustrations consisted of u map or the world, In which the different voyages of the hero of the tale were delineated. Tbe lirst volume of "Robinson Crusoe" was published in April, 1719, and became popular at once. A second edition was printed seventeen days after the first, twenty-five days later another followed, and a fourth was published on Aug. 8 of the same year. On Aug. Un the seeond volume was issued under the title of "The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe; being the second and last part of his life and of the strange, surprising account of liis travels round three parts of the globe.

Millside Sports Offer to Put Up Heavy Stakes on Tug-of-War Contest. A couple of Millside men visited the* office of the Daily News about the witching hour of midnight, and were very anxious to find out whence the story of the tug-of-war, in that paper I one day last week emanated. The story purported to come from I'day Ram. who criticized the sporting status of the Millside white men. Thej midnight visitors didn't want to nay in plain English just what I'day Rami was, but ht- was one any way. 1 They said thai on the day on whlchl the scrap tool, place over the tug-of-; war. they had succeeded in pulling their opponents over twenty feet, when :he uliI doctor, as they call him, i encroached too much on the game and gave a white man a push, as the man i in question objected to being pushed, he returned the compliment, thereon followed a free-for-all fight, in which some blood was shed and some tilings were said. The Hindus claimed the victory in spite of the fact that they had been pulled twenty feet by ��� ir opponents, their rule being thai the last man must be pulled past the dividing line. The white men considered i that as they had pulley] their opponents so far and had held.them there for twenty minutes, they were the victors. The white contestants were very angry at being considered poor sports and have challenged the Hindus to a contest in the mill building, on cleats. They have offered to pul up anything from Sinn to $500 provided the Hindus will cover it with a similar amount, On Saturday I'day Ram visited the Xews office and stated that he had been misunderstood, as he had no intention of criticizing the sporting a- tus of his white friends at Millside.

To the Editor of the Daily News. Sir,���The scarcity of labor in this province seems to be a burning question with some people, and the statements they make in regard to local labor conditions are very alarming. As 1 lately required to have some laborers and mechanics, I thought, if their statements were true, 1 was up against a hard proposition; but when I was ready to stan work I got over fifty personal applications for employment, whereas I required only ten. I would like to know what these people want. Is it slaves ? I don't. I will leave my address with you, Mr. Editor, to give to any of these gentle- mi ;. who are really anxii is to solve this problem of theirs, and I will undertake to enlighten them free of cost.
