Away tripped Virgini*i.,and Mve. Varley, leisurely descending, followed her husband to tlie platform ot the show, where she ensconced hereelf, at the , seat of euBtom, whilst Solomon assumed the active director, ahip of the band. The band, comprising thirty-five instruments, groaned, whec/.ed, banged.and blared in a gig box.obedient'to a rota.y handle. The crowd flowed in, and the sound oi copper and silver tinkled pleasantly through the tunes played by the mechanical orchestra, whose strains had long ceaaed tb charm the musical ear of its proprietor. Solomon, indeed, ,was , wont to relate a story to the discredit of the drehesira. ' One day,' said Sol, 'I takes a pitch right oppisyte a chemis' an' druggis'a place, an' in doo lime I toons up. Well,ho stands it 'regular an1 plucky for about half a, hour or so, an' then he walks over. "Mister," he says���������quite tho polite gentleman���������"I ain't a eomplainin' 'parly as a rule,"he says, "but your orgiu is too much for me." "Well, governor,'* I ups ant, says, "you ought to have more humb.n nuiur'than complain," I says: "I know it's hard on you," 1 says, " to have to'listen to it, but you'll think o' me sometimes," I bays, ���������"with a tear o' pity on account o'linyhavin' to play it regular, won't you?" , It closed him up, if you'll bslieve me,' Solomon would add, 'aa sudden a.i a clasp-knife.' On the present occasion Mr. Varley ground away mechanically, and was more bent upon observing the faces of the crowd than even on the pleasant tinkle, which made its way through the wheeze and blare of his own music. There were'straw hais in plenty before him,' but the particular straw hat of whose owner Jim had warned him was not there, and the showman'was not sorry for its absence. - The common interest in zoology was 'not strong enough tb 'induce young men of, geutlemanly exterior to follow his unrivalled collection from village to village, and Solomon had needed no warning as to the object which caused "the woarer of the straw hat to follow the show with a persistence so unusual.- , Perhaps Solomon 'was mentally shortsighted. Perhaps, notwithstanding two; and-twenty years of matrimonial experience, ho was little versed in the ways of women. Possibly his own , open-hearted nature and sterling honesty and straightforwardness helped lo blindfold him. Virginia had gone into the village t,oo buy floss, silk���������quite the most innocent of errands. And the young gentleman in tho Btraw hat was not anywhere in the immedi- t ate neighbourhood ol the show. Quite a satisfactory matter. It never occurred to him that the young gentleman might mest Virginia. ' lie would havo been ready ,t'o knock down anybody who had told him 'that Virginia had gone to meet the young gentleman.1 Tne showman's daughter went along the shady side of the street swinging a dainty little basket in her hand. She bought the Hods silk to satisfy conscience and answer possible inquiries.uud then strolled on under the shade of pleasant boughs nito ii'leafy lone. She blushed and trembled as she went, and was many a time hall inclined lo turn back again, but by-and-by a young man'wearing a straw hat heaved in Bight, and. throwing away a half smoked cigar, turned his" lounging walk into a quick ouo, and' approached her finding, hat in hand. ' So you are here after all !'*he said goutly., ' J shouldn't have come,' fluttered Virginia, ' if I had dreamt that you would be here,' ' Don't,', said the wearer ol tho straw hat pleadingly,���������' don'tbe be so cruel as lo say so.' 'Don't think I came lo meet you,' s-aid the hllle coquette. 'As if I should think of such a thing !' 'I hope you will think of ir sometimes,,' said her companion Boftly. . "if you knew Ww lonely it is to wait!

There was a certain sort of majeaty in being proprietor, of a wild-beast show under such circumstances, and Solomon was in his glory. ' , ��������� Suddenly his wile came in' with a shawl over her head, and forced her way through the crowd. Solomon, seeing that she maae towards him, went easily to meet her. She was pale and breathing hard, and clutching him by the arm, with both hands she gasped out two words :��������� 'Jennie's gone !' 'On a night like this !' said Solomon. 'She'll catch her death.-1 'She's gone, ..JSol, she's gone '.' cried the mother, almost screaming. , ' What d'ye mean V uaked Solomon.( People began to stare at them. ' Come out o' this,' he said, and Beizini; her by the arm, he forced his way through the crowd to the outer platform. The rain came down in straight-ruled glittering linos, blurring the lights u> the shop opposite. One blinding Cash of lightning fell as Solomon and his wife came upon the platform, and a tremendous roar of thunder followed. ' Now, what's tho matter '!' he asked, when the awtul sound had rolled itself away. , , The woman wrung her hands and moaned. 'She's gone, Sol, she's gone !' was all tiie answer she could make. 'What d'ye mean ?' cried the' showman, refusing to recognise a meaning. 'Oh, "Sol, dear Sol I' she cried, clinging to him and breaking into tears. 'Uome along !' cried Solomon, shaking himsilf free and seizing her arm again. 'Come along I' He hurried her through the pelting rain'to tho house on wheels. '.Now, what's the matter ?' . 'Sol,' cried his wife,' waving her hands up iind down like a mad woman, 'the's run away.' -r u ' ��������� Solomon's face was white beneath its bronze already, but at that cruel stab ho turned ghastly, and hia hands dropped to his sides like lead. ��������� ' 'Hero's a note,' <cried the distracted mothcr,now fumbling at her dres8,and now- waving her hands wildly. 'Hero's a note she lett behind. Oh, Sol ! oh,my poor Sol, as loved her dear I Oh, ������ol ! -bear up "like a dear good soul ! Don't break your heart, don't break your heart 1' And saying this sho cast her arms about him, and swooned and lost all knowledge of her agony for a hltls while. Solomon laid hor gently down and stood above her like a statue.' A step came up the ladder, but he did not hear it. A hand was laid upon his shoulder, and ho turned. Theresiood Jim, wild-eyed, dripping wet, and as pale- us' death. ' ������ 'She knowB V s-aid the man, half recoiling at sight of the prostrate, figure. 'Yes,' said Solomon, 'she knows.' 'I see her go,' panted Jim, for he was out of breath ,wilh running. 'I follered, thinking somethin' was the matter to take hnr out on such a night as this,' A flash ob lightning heralded a peal of thunder overhead, and the showman could only see his moving lips, but'heard nothing more until the noise had rolled away again. 'They got intoa cab iin'drovea>vay. I could see as they was a-makin' for the King's Dock or else for the South Pier,' an' 1 run like mad, but I lost sight of 'em.' Solomon lionrd this," but returned no word. When it vvas all spoken he moved slowly away, and,taking up a glass,poured water into it from a brown pitcher, and then sat down beside his wife and moistened her lips and temples. 'Ain't you k aoin' to do'nothing ?' cried Jim.' ' Ain't you a goiu' ,to foller her to the world's end ?

The lightning was still unrolling swift bheet on sheet of flame, but the thunder was crashing and rumbling to the northwards, and no longer spoke at the flash, but growled sullenly seconds later, and the ra,n had ceased iw suddenly as it came. Jim thought himself alone on deck, when the dock, and theshipping,and tlie warehouses, and tlie water, and lhe very heavens all seemed to make a sudden leap at him in the vivid lightning, and to rush back with an awful swiftness as darkness struck light dead. The twinkling yellow lamps were nothing in the pause. With the next flash an oilclothed figure sprang into being and went out again, and came along the deck as if each flash that follovted drove.it forward with a fiery wind. Then there was darkness for a second or two, anil the twinkling lamps recovered light a littlo, and Jim saw the oilclothed figure near. , ' / ' What is it, mate?' 'Do you carry passengers?' demanded Jim, still breathing hard, and speaking like a man foredone with haste. ' Yes,' sa)d the other. 'Is there a young man among ,'em, a geiiileinun, with blue eyes an' light mous- tachioB, with a lady;''a young lady, veyr proity, in a dark frock?' His hurry was so passionate, he'could scurcely speak. 'i don't know, said the seaman. What about em' if there is?' 'I've come to,stop 'em,' said Jim.. *They must be stopped; it's life an' death.' 1 'Have yon got,any authority to atop 'em ?' asked the seaman, 'If you have, an' they're abroad, I'm captain of thia boat, an' I'll Bee it acted on.' 'See if they're here,' master,' said Jim beseechingly. 'It's life an' death to more than one.' ,'Young 'woman bolted?' asked the, Captain. ' b 'Yes,' said Jim, with wild reluctance, as, though the-anavver were plucked out of him. / 'For the Lord's sake/' master, see if they're here. It'life an' death.' 'I can't say' whether they're aboard or not,' Baid the Captain, 'but there is a pair as seems lo answer your description. Passage booked yesterday. They're all the passengers I have to-night���������and likely to be, by the look o' ihmgs. , Come this way.' The bows of the boat having been warped already from the wall, Jim had climbed aboard at the after-end, and the deck he stood ou formed the roof ot the saloon. He followed llie Captain to the main deck, and peered mio the saloon from the Bide of the stoward's pantry. ' Is that the pair ?' asked the Captain, with a tight grip on Jim's shoulder. /That's the pair,' aaicl.Jim in a hoarse whisper,,*lrawing back on deck again. Verschoyie was leaning over little Virginia, who was crying behind her veil. ' Have you any authority to 3top 'em?' ueked the Captain. 'No,' Eaid Jim. ''But, master, look here.' He waved his hands abroad pleadingly, and His voice was thick with hurry and despair. ' I've been a servant of her father's over since I was a kid. I've left lier mother Mvounded dead olr, an' her father a-settin' by her that broken-hearted it'd melt a stone,' ', ���������' ��������� <> 'D'ye think they're married ?',asked the Captain, speaking imohia brown hand leBt he should be overheard. Jim shook his head with a* negative so decided that ihe Captain was convinced at once, and said, ' Eh, dear !' in a' tone of pity. AtthatLone Jim took heart. ' Master,' he said, ,' maybe you've got a daughter o' 'your own. Have a heart, master���������do, lor the Lord's sake, have a heart. ' Wait here a bit," returned the Captain. 'Here, stand there.' All the time they talked together the hymning rolled ou us sheets of llame with lo-it and less rapidity and brilliai.ee, and the thunder iumbled farther and larther uway.

And if he does, I'll see him,stick to it. I'll appeal lo the Consul on tiie ether side and see things 'square.' > Tnis the capuiiu delivered with the air of a man who clinches the nail of proof ; and, turning again upon Verschoyie, demanded to know whether thai would suit him. Virginia had raised her veil, and was looking from one to the other. ' My poor dear,' eaid the Captain, softening aa he turned to her, " he doesn't mean to marry you. Ask him if he does. I'm ganiB tb take'you to Boulogne"���������tlie Captain' was warlike again, and directed this statement at Verdehoyle���������)(ind put you under the Consul's care till this nice young man acts fair hy you. Ask him if he meatia it, my poor dear.' <The Captain was quite a study for an actor iu the rapidity with which he changed his face and voice ,and manner when he looked from Verschoyie to Virginia, or from her to him. ' ������������������ ' Ask him if he means it I' cried the Captain, thrusting his hand almost in Verschoyle's face. ' , ' The' handsome rasal'a face, with the lowering frown upon it, said ' No' without a word, or need of one. She read the base denial there, and burst into renewed teurs, and wrung her hands, and murmured that it was cruel. Oh, it was cruel, cruel ! Moved by the sight of youth and beauty brought to such distress, the Captain turner! upon Verschoyie for the last time. ' Now then ! Sharp there ! One minute more, and I'll-haveyou chucked overboard. Hi ! you there !' Jim entered. ' Collar them two portmanteaus and chuck 'em ashore.' Jim Beized tho luggage, and would have been rejoiced to extend the order to its owner. ,' Now, get out.' Verschoyie retired before the lndignautCapliiin, mounted the ladder, croaiod the taloon deck, and went ashore^ Jim threw the luggage unceremoniously after him, and iheu, following the Captain, returned to the saloon, and, taking Virginia's hand, led her unie'sistiug, from the vessel. ' God bless you, master, for what'you've (lone thia night,' said Jim in taking leave of the Capiain. The men wete moving about the dock by this time, the mate was ordering here and there,ropes were tugging across the darkness, and the ship was quivering with the short urgent stroke of the engines.' . - ' ' Take her home, and good luck to you,' said the Captain m. reply and went back to duty, and treated sea-going virtue to a slili'glass by the way. Verschoyie summoned a hansom' and drove to an hotel, feeling mean, as our trans-Allanlic cousin", say. The writer feels au unfeigned joy in kicking him out of the story. For a while poor Virginia suflered Jim to lead her, beinir, indeed, so broken that she scarcely Knew him,or knew of anything but Versc-hoyie'a basoncfrs. But utter u time she turned and spoke. * Good-bye, James, lie kind to fattier and inoihi'i*.' ' Miss Virginia,' said James, ' if you knowed how brol:en-'at ted ihey are, an' how glad an' williu' they'll take jou home again, vou'd uevei dream 'of leavin' 'em. You couldn't.' She twined her hands together with un action which bespoke pam aud shame and anger and lemorsc. A-humircd oilier tlnnga vveie in the gesture too, and Jim, without being anything ot a psychologist, read and understood li e-mail, ' Oh, Mif-s Virginia,' crici honest Jim, half crying, ' have n heart.

Now there ia to be chronicled another item of a very different nature, theyunbounded euceess of the cod and lobster hatchery in Trinity Eay, and with it, a catch that promisee to be a remarkably good one. Four yeara ago this hatchery was started at the instance of a merchant of Su John's, and carried ou fora while at his own expense. Then the Government took it up and made it a province affair, placing it on a most liboral basis and sparing no expense in Blocking the sea with fish. Trinity Hay was chosen as tho location of the hatchery on account'of its sheltered position and its many little inlets aud shallow bays. As the fry are sent out to shift for themselves a few weeks after they are hatched, shallow 'waters and sheltered shcrea are by far the bc8t places for them to thrive in (so the' hatchery managers argued), for'there they*run little risk'of being devoured hy larger fish, or of being swept out into very deep water, and there also they have much less difliculty in obtaining their daily supply of food. on isir.no isy.AN'D the hatchery was placed and was put under tho management of a Norwegian named Nelson. The Government provided a yearly appropriation of some' $10,000, and this proved ample for.every purpose. -So well did Nelsou manage the affairs of the hatchery that when the scientists and men of affairs interested in fisheries met at the World's Fair in a 80i*t,of small convention,' the hatchery at Newfoundland, it was uciecd by all, had proved ilself one of tho best in the world. In lobsters actually hatched and sent out tiie records bhowed thai, the most remarkable achievements in artificial hatching anywhere in tho world's history had been performed ; while in cod hardly'loss had bepn accomplished. In tho four years since the establishment of theliaichery2,500,000,000 young lobstera have been hatched out and 05,000,010 young cod., Tho main result accomplished has been' to more than entirely nullify tho reckless slaughter of cod wilh spawn during recent yeais.- This destruction was nob wanton, but the fishermon were driven Lo it through competition. ', , , Last'year j list about this time, several months before the disclosures of the financial "weakness, the Newfoundland Legislative'Assembly then sitting had a hoi debate over ihe Hatchery question, the pcint disputed being the annual appropri-, at ion. It had resolved ,itself into a strictly political matter, the panics of the" island being divided upon the question strictly on parly lineB. , THE AVPUOnilATIO"*.-* , ' was in doubt, when reports began lo aomo iu from Trinty liay. It should be premised that cod must be tliree years old to be worth tlie catching,' and it was then just three years from the limo of tiie establishment of the hatchery.', The 'Trinity Bay'reports were most, favorable. In their detail they astounded evoiy mem bur of the then Bitting house, for they showed that the cntch, m proportion to that of former years in this bay, was of unprecedented sizo. The hatchery had proved ilself an unqualified succcs-s. Parly lines were at, once biokcn, and in a burst, of enthusiasm the appropriation bill for the futlier continuance of ihe hatchery was curried. This year lh<-rc seems-no doubt that the eaten will be fully up Co last year's. The lobsier catch is particularly good,' loo, though the 'hutclipry peoplo have experienced much difficulty in incteasing llie supply of them in the waters of Newfoundland as tnsl us llio! number ihey have lunched would seem to vvurrnnt.

The country of tho stilt- 'walkcr's is Landca. Very many years ago tho people were driven to still-walking, ,'The wind from the Bay of Biscay blow the tine, while sand far inland,'making what ,ve call duiies, which are waves ot sand that remind you of tho motion of high waves. They look like wavea 'suddenly turned'to sand. It was imposaiblo co walk over this sand,'and all the grass and other vegetation suflered and vvaH choked by it. Tlie people wcro shepherds, but it '-jecamo harder and harder to find feeding-ground for the sneep. Then the government made the experiment of planting pine forests. These grew, and prevented the sand drifting in ub before. Still, walking is very difficult and almost impossible for women, except by tho use of alilts.- When the people walk on the ground,'they walk in their bare feet.

There are now in Africa so many white men, English,' Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, French, Belgian, and German, that the slave trade can never again flourish there. More than a million people who are not black can now say that thev are Africans, and a good many of them can boast that they are natives of Africa. JTho-whites, who for a long lime' did no? venture beyond the coast regions, are advancing inland, where there are largo areas which they find to be"inviting. Millions of black people were brought from Africa in 6lave ships last century to North and South America, where their descendants now live. Largo numbers of white Europeans have in thia century gone to Africa, aud there established homea for tlieir descendants. The blacks multiply in Brazil and the United States ; the whites thrive in Egypt and Algeria, 'in Cape Colony, aud tho South African republic. As for the Asiatic races, they prefer to stay in the , countries which they have inhabited, from time immemorial. The Jap-vuese resent the ' efforts of the Christian missionaries sent to convert ' them, but not in the savage and malignant epirit displayed in China. They think that now, at least, they are entitled to be regarded and treated' aB civilized and enlightened peoplo, and cot as. benighted heathen requiring religious instruction and guidance from foreigners and at 'foreign expense. Accordingly the Japanese Christians are'showing a disposition to cut loose from the foreign missionary societies ,' which are supporting missions in their country. They do not^ wish to remain longer under su'jh tutelage, as if they vyero an inferior people. They contend that Christianity cannot grow, in Japan as an , exotic kept alive by foreign i-nurture, but must develop naturally' under purely Japanese influences. The Japanese Christians wish to manage their owu churches aud conduct their own missions. This feeling has been manifested ��������� by them so decidedly that'a committee,.has lately gone ( thither to represent the American Board, with a view to adjust the eomplicuMoir-To" which it has given rise. i> It seems very remarkable that any missionary association should offer resistance ���������" to a disposition so natural and so creditable to the Japanese. Unquestionably the chances'of the spread of Christianity > in Japan, would be gieutly increased if all prejudice against the religion ua a foreign system, forced ou the peoplo rby purely foreign agencies, could be removed., Originally, doubtless, it was 'necessary that it should be planted by Europeau and Ameri- cau ' effort ; but now that' it has gained root, why should it ,not be left to the 'cultivation of-the Japanese themselves? They have v been quick to ittdopt other advantages and to fdllowyother practices of Western civilization,romodelling their owu jn the process ; and, witii like emulation, they are hospitably disposed toward Christianit}*. But their pride as a self- sufficient people is offended by the implication that religiously they cannot bo loft without foreign missionary guardianship. The consequence ia that Christianity suffers in Japanese popular sentiment as an alien .religion supported by alien mcctis and agencies. It does not possess, the vitality of a native growth. * ' u ��������������������������� ^ 0 Even tho violent Chinese prejudice against the foreign missionaries, of which the recent, outrages at the mission stations are the terrible fruit, it is not at all surprising. It is natural and inevitable. It is no bitterer than ihe animosity which'has been exhibited by our own people against China-' men in this country; and it is very remarkable that 'the atrocities charged against the Ohnatiau missionaries in China by tho ignorant and superstitious natives, closely resemble those ��������� which have been brought against Chinamen here. Suppose 'Chinamen eatabliBhed a regular system of missionary agencies for the propagation of their religion hero, would they be any better treated by Christian mobs than the Christian missionaries havo been treated by Chinese mobs?

On the 20th day of September, 1S34, was fought one of the historic battles of the world. The English, French ' and Turkish armies moved out of their first encampment in the Crimea on 19th September, and bivouacked for the night on the left bank of the Bulganac. The Russians (commanded by Prince Menschikoff), muatering 40,000 infantry, had ISO field pieces on tho heights, and on the morning of the 20th of September were joined by 0,000 cavalry n from Kaffa.

There are in Toronto at least two vot'. erana who were through the- Crimean war from first to,last. -,'One Of them served in tho the ranks of the 42ud Highlanders��������� the celebrated "Black Watch." The other was in the 93rd Highlanders. Both said that the return of the anniversary brought VIVID MOIOKIES TO THEIR MINDS, ' | and they tell the following story:��������� We served throughout the Crimean war from 14th September, 1S54, till June, 1S56, iu _thi! Highland Brigade, under that dashing oliicer, Sir Colin Campbell. We have to say thai that brigade had the respect of tho whole allied army, aud of the Russians, too, utter peace vvas signed, when a number of the men got passes, and went into the Russian lines, besides having our hula full of Ruasians; .who came to see us. We landed at Old ,Fort at about'one o'clock, aud formed line along with the brigade of guards, marched about a mile inland from tie beach, aud were ordered to lie down with our knapsacks on our backs, and great coats lolled across our shoulders. Wo were told not to light n fire, or match, or light a, pipe. We were in the front line. About dusk a i-.torm came on, and the rain fell in torrents and of course wo got wet through lo lhe skin. In the morning you could wring the water out of our kilts by bucket fulls. The sun came out about eight o'clock, and wo got the order, after it waB seen that there wag no Russian army iu sight, to strip, and pot bonnets, coata and kilts dried. It was a sight to see the men cutting about in all directions likobnauiaos,- with ihe speed of racehorses, aud nothing but,their shirts on, but ultimately we felt fairly warm and dryb There was no wood to be got to light a lire, and the waler was brackish und unpalatnble. la the afternoon of that day they brought' ashore three tents���������bell-, shaped. ' The men of each company tossed up as to who should- go into the lents, bin, they only held eighteen to twenty men each, and most of us spent another night, iD the open., About midnight the picquets began firing. The shouts and bugles sounded, " STAND TO YOUR' ABMSl" and all over ihe British and French car.ipa we began to fall in. All the men who were lying outside were up like ashot, but. some of those iu the tent'a were in a bad fix, tor the heavy dew had shrunk the tents up so light that they could not gel tlio flaps opened, and one of tho tents was lifted up bodily, polo and all, and out came the occupants, scrambling over each other in tlieir eagerness to get to their places in their company. Nothing came of the scurry on this occasion, us 'a misttiko had been niado by some of tho French sentries. We lay in that place until the 18th September, wondering where the tenta had goc to. A number of ue fell sick, on account vof the brackiah water, hut there was a wonderful reluctance on the part of the men lo going on the sick list ; they would go with their comrades at all hazards or die in the attempt. On tho morning of the 19th wo all fell in by regiments, anil all of us' looked wilh confidence to our brigadier, with all his medals on his breast. " Condie" we called him. Then the Highland brigade consisting of the 42nd, 93rd, 79th regi- merits, got the order to fix bayonets, shoulder arms, and quick march. We wont about a quarter of a mile, and look up our position alongside of the brigade of guards, with two batteries of artillery between us. The other cectiona of the army came up, and to the sound of our numerous bands, that seemed to fill the air with mania! noise, tho whole column moved forward. One of the things that remains on our memory is that before us, riding on horseback by the side of her husband wrb Lady Errol, tho. wife of Captain Lord Errol. About four o'clock we came in Hichi of the Russian outposts at a small river (tho Bulganac). Tho arlillery opened fire in front, with the light cavalry supporting them. The allied armies halted, and this went on for some time, and then the Russians retired, and wo all lay down for *tho good many of us had only been u6ed to "blank.") Then we got tbe leii turns by brigade*. Our brigade inarched a good mile to the left before we formed line on the Guards ' By this time on the richt, next the >=ea under cover of the small cruisers, the French were ascending the heights. The whole of the British army were lying down in line in the following order-.���������Rifle Brigade, skirmishing order ; first line, light division in line ; second line, aecond division in lino next to French iirst division, next Eecond division, all'one line about three miles in length, third and fourth divisione, 'behind in columns.

She could not have passed long before the word paEsed along from some of the Rifle brigade who were lying wounded that her husband was snot.,* Tne .descent to the river waa a dreadful hot place, all kind of shot, we got, but as luck happened it, all went over our heads, and our brigadier seemed to be 'in hia glory. He was" flying about with Ins sword in his hand saying "Keep up your heads there." for it was on this side of the river that a number of tiie light .division threw away their shukos,'knapsacks, and camp kettles. However, with me exception of one of our men who got the straps of his knapBack shot off, we lost nothing at this point. We advanced up the Alma hill nearly at double. Half way up we passed through the ranks of one brigade of tlie light division. On the top of the" hill our brigadier's horse was shot'under him, but 'he was soon up again, swung his' sword 6 . again, swung round his head and said "Men, I am all right." The rapid way he took the brigade up the heights was the means of carrying it. Next day the sight of the wounded was something,awful. The surgeons were going about the field, with their,knives' in their hands, cutting off arms and legs, and as no chloroform was used the resolution of the men in not crying out vvub very remarkable. We spent three days at the Alma burying the dead.

If there is any one thing tftst requires the dairyman's personal attention more than any other it is milking writej O. J, Vine. More good cows are spoiled every year by careless milking than any other way. A very h'tile milk left in the udder at each milking will cause the best cow to decrease, and eventually to ceiioe milking entirely. ' The milking should not only be done thoroughly, but it should be done quickly, and, unless the operator singe, should be done quietly. In Switzerland it is said they pay an extra price to a milker who eiugs. No loud, boisterous language should be'permi tted. The cow is a nervous animal, and any undue excitement affects the quantity and quality of the milk unfavorably. Do not allow persona or dogs lo worry the cows. Heifers that have been care, fully and kindly handled from calf hood to maturity seldom develop into kickers, 'but occasionally there is one that does.' It is always beat to determine the cause, if possible, and remove it. The teats'may be aore and tender. An application of vaseline. French mixture, or lard, will bring relief. If the udder is inflamed and swollen frequent fomentations of hot'water and'an' application of either of the above named remedies will usually prove eliectual. Another very simple and effectual remedy iato-mix enough of the cow's millr with a few hondfuls of salt to make a thin paste and anoint the udder four or'five times per day. That is our usual remedy. great care should attend the selection of the ono sire for a herd. No mail order is likely to be satisfactory iu obtaining such an animal as would prove ihe good average sire for a whole herd. The paternity of a do/en calves., of fifty Iambs or pigs ��������� deserves thougtit, and involves expense if attended to aright. There is cost to count and to bo incurred in all enterprises vv here results are of,worth. The cost of tiie right way ol bleeding is best a title of the damage resulting from a mistaken course. A few days' time and a few dollars in travelling expenses are often a judicious investment. When a breeder fails lo net, by mail order.ril.c, desired sire for his herd it is the worst folly to proceedj to use such an ":11- maiuil^in his requirements.

' With the first calf there is perhaps more danger of the udder being vinflamed and tender than at any later period, and will demand closer attention and the greatest cure in milking. A cow suffering from any disease of the udder should be milked thoroughly tliree or four times per day; under 'no circumstances should the udder be full and distended' any length of time. Kindness, firmness and fearlessness are necessary qualifications in a good'milker. One vvho cannot control his t;mper or who is afraid of a cow,need not expect io become a successful milker. Kindness is not thrown away, even to an animal.' I know it sometimes requires a great" deal of patience io milk a kicking cow, but if a person is determined he can control himself under almost any oircumsraucos. ,, Occasionally a cow will persist in, kicking in spite'of all .precautions. For such I use a light rope, with, a hook'at one end and a Bhort chain at the other, i* Put it atound the cow just in front of tiie udder ; draw real tight, and hook in the chain. She can scarcely lift her feet, and it causes her no-pain unless she tries to kick. .Sometimes the difficulty is caused by a change of surroundings, from one farm to unother.or a change of milkers. Never change miikers if it can be avoided. With some cows il makes little difference ; othet's will not stand at all for a strange person. >������ Last fall'I purchased a''fine Guernsey hoifer for 5*20 that had become spoiled in milking. When she freshened she stood well until she found the hired man was afraid of her, when she kicked so terribly that we were obliged to put the calf to her again. The calf had been allowed to do the milking until four or five daja which I knew was a mi8take, but it occurred whilo I, was away from home. I always despaired of " reclaiming" that cow for the dairy, but at the end of six months weaned the calf, and strange to say, had very little difficulty in training her. She is us quiet aud gentle now ns any in the herd and bids fair to be an extra butler cow. She ib (living now, eight months after freshening, about 21 gallons of 7 per cent, milk per day. On account of the- difficulty in milking her, the former owner allowed her to go dry about April 1,*>, '9;"). She will noi freshen until January 15, '90. Her performance has disproved the old theory that if a heifer doea not continue long in milk she^will be of little value id the dairy The best time to wean a calf is when only ono day old ; tlien there is little difficulty iu teaching it to drink, and the cow will not free and worry as much then us later. If the calf jb inlended for the butcher at four weeks old it should not be allowed to run with its ,dum continually. A cow should ,be milked lit regular intervals, which would not he tlie case if the calf was with her at all times^ I am aatis; fied it would be better for the cow to millc her and feed the whole milk to the calf, A calf will persist in hutting, aud it is certainly ia injurious to I he cow.

If it was merely a foot power buzz eaw hia operation ( of it would be remarkable enough, but it is run by steam power at a speed'of 2J500'''rev-olutioi]B a minute. , The power comes from the machine shop of his son, Lysa'nder \\ right, Jr., and the saw is connected with a variable speed attachment controlled by a lever. ��������� The workshop of the old man is decoraf ed with hundreds of ingenious specimen8 of his craft ic the form of boat models fancy workboxes, littio log cabins, cigar- Bets, ash receivers, and 'odds and ends. Everything he makes iB us nccuriitely balanced as if constructed by a skilled mechanio having fulT use of his eyeB.

Laboring entirely in the dark, the old man glues,'nails, or ecrewa as the case may, require, making his1 fingers take the place of oyeB. Sandpaper is one of the most faithful servants, aud he uses it with marvellous' skill. Wright's use of the'buzz saw is tho most astounding-thing, aud people who Know about it wonder that his son has not interfered. The old man is extremely careful and methodical, however, oud there ie less danger"than one would imagine.' The saw runs noiselessiy,and Mr. Wrightinvariably feels for it with mi old walking stick which he keeps in his den aud uses in moving about lhe place. He is constantly tapping with hie cane as he goes around, although he kuows within, an inch the location of everything iu the room. When heapproaches the saw tu hie, and is in doubt about ,the condition of the saw, ho has his safe way of ascertaining instantly whether it is rjiuuing or not. If it is in motion, he loses perhaps a quarter of an inch from the end of his cane. If it is still, he knows how lo start' it ; furthermore, he kuows its exact position ro ilie fraction of an inch. Ho changes saws on the mandrel quite deftly, and if one is dull, takes'it to a vise of hia own construction and files the teeth with uccur- ncy.

Title | Kootenay Mail |
Publisher | Revelstoke, B.C. : Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Co. |
Date Issued | 1895-10-26 |
Description | The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review. |
