It was only that Spider had discovered in some way the hiding place of a carefully hoarded bot- "tleof whisky belonging toHolJis.

Though the stir- en p leathers of the ,borrowed saddle were far too long for him. though'they -were pulled up as far as they would go, and .though the saddle itself was so large that it would have had room in it for several' boys of Spider's size, still Spider rode superbly ' I saw that wtien he way after those cattle.

Tho lingering tortures of rheumatism are too .well known to need description", but'it is, not so well known that medical science now recognizes that 'the primary cause of rheumatism is impure or impoverished.blood.

How Arthur Brlwhnne Once Scored a BIr Bent For His Paper. > "The layman who is unacquainted with newspaper methods may be inttMcsied in knowing just how "one goes about making a piece of news." saysr Allen S.ingiee in AiiiMee's Magazine. "The best illnsfa- tion of this, perhaps, is Arthur Brisbane's arningoifient for John L. Snll.van to h >x hefore the I'rince of Wales. At thi- ti'i'e Mr. Brisbane was London co:-re,>pi.ndt'ui for the New York Sun. it should be un derstood that the competition among the London representatives is just a- keen as though they were serving their sepaii.te papers ou Park row. and. though living in an atmosphere of less aggiessive jour nalism, they never tfor a moment forget their American education. In this ma ter Mr.'"Bri.sbane was actuated by no other motive than to triumph over his rivals with a legitimate beat, and he found the (treat American bruiser but too glad to M><-nnd the idea on the percentage of free advertisement. The Sun man worked quietly, quickly and so successfully that the night for the performance came without any one knowing of it excepting the Prince! his friends and the members of the fashionable club e objected, 'I am responsible ���������ftof^eMjtiolo thing. You are not going ���������'to -piit nVe curt?' ;.i-*f'The'equerry would not hear him, nnd 'Mr! Brisbane, desperate and angry, played his iast card. 'Well. John.' he said, turning to where the champion-stood toying with one huge pickled paw. 'I've got to go. "What'll you doV "���������That's what I'll do.' replied the. champion of the world, picking up his coat and glaring savagely at the equerry. 'If that young feller goes, then I'll go, understan'?' And the audience -wjas dismayed to see the lighter and reporter abandon the ringside. It would not do, however, to disappoint hisroyal highness so disgracefully, and the. equerry and Mr. Brisbane finally compromised by the latter promising to write the account only for the American press. The Sun of cotirse had a great beat next day. and every newspaper in America and Thi.gland quoted the anecdote of John L. Sullivan's reception by Albert Edward. "Mr. Sullivan's speech at that period had extreme limitations, and when introduced to a distinguished person he invariably used the same set phrase. To the Prince of Wales, after shaking hands, he observed with dignity and cheerfulness:. 'Prince, I'm giad to meet you. I've often heard of you.'

"��������� < ' ' Fishing through, the ice is attended with' very much less discomfort than'a'stranger to 'the sport would' imagine. There is probably no more health inspiring recreation known than the long tramps on snow shoes, through the woods and over the frozen surface of the lakes, in which the Canadian hunters and' winter fishermen indulge, when several feet ol snow covers the face of the country. aBropl. or speckled'trout are among the few fishes,that may not be caught through the ice, but this is not very much'of a deprivation after all. Fe\t of them would be tahen if they" were fished for, since'they'do not take bait well in the'winter. ' < Both the big lakers', or. great trout,' and the dore, or pike-perch, are caught in large-numbers through tho ice iii Canadian, waters! The latter are called dore by 'the French-Canadians,'because of their ,golden tints.

' In the summer'season these the ice often exceed 60 pounds weight: and are eagerly sought /when the deer are scarce. Sometimes in Northern Labrador, it is necessary to out holes- for fishing through five or six feet , of ice, which is'by no mean'4'an easy undertaking.

This was the fate the other day of the .'British .schooner " John S. Parker of S,t. John, N.B., loaded with lumber, which went aground on a^bar in Barnstable - Bay more than "a mile from shove.-. Captairi-;.Charles of the Orleans life saving station was ->',arie aware of the wreck-hy a torch burned onf the doomed vessel. The sea was so wild that no boat coul*���������]*"��������� live in it,.and-'it was necess.iry to', fire' out' the, life lines to the schooner EMPEKO-3 WILLIAM. to be Wil- such epithets were not likely applied to any but Emperor, liam 11. of Germany. The humorous side of the explanation struck 'several -incautious editors, so that not less than a dozen persons were convicted of leze majesty in connection with that one affair. A certain German-American, from Chicago, while excited with wine in one of the Berlin cafes expressed with great freedom his opinion of the. German Government and Emperor William. His remarks were overheard by two officials ' "sitting at an. adjoining table, who filed a formal complaint tp the police. The .American ambassador succeeded in securing the release of the culprit DRAGGED T__r:0*jGH THR WAVES. ��������� from , a mortar. The six men comprising the crew ������������������.-ere then drawn ashore through seething billows a distance of .more than a mile. Captain Charles and his crew of life savers dragged the life saving apparatus two miles to a point where the vessel could be seen, and at the first trial the line sent out from the mortar fell over tho schooner, and after it had been made fast the breeches buoy was sent away. It reached the schooner all right, but the sea was running so fiercely and the northeast wind bore down so heavily that the men of the station could not pull the buoy'with its "human freight to the shore. Finally a horse was hitched to s1 he line, and the first .sailor was landed, and the others were rescued in the same way. Had Been There Herself. "Scorns to me that the rising generation is rising pretty- fast.'-' said the bachelor, who expects soon to become a Benedict,'after his friends had given him up '���������as. hopeless! "I was out walking with my intended the other day, and.her small niece, a'girl-not over seven years of age, accompanied us. Naturally the conversation, owing to the near approach of our wedding day, took a turn that was interesting to two of us, but not to the third. "Finally I turned to the young lady who is soon to be my bride and said, with a smile: - \ " 'I suppose all this talk is over the little one's head?' "Before she could reply the nose of the 'little one' went up several degrees, and she answered icily, her words falling like so many hailstones on a tin roof: "'Oh. don't mind me. 1 know what it is. I've been in love myself!' "It was several minutes before I succeeded in catching my breath." summer frequently rise, to the angler's flies in," the .cool waters of far northern lakes,' and put up a'lively light. Their Ue'sh is 'esteemed, as much for its firm, yet.delicate flavor, as for its beautiful whiteness. In some localities' a large number of holes are cut in'the ice over tho banks ,pr bars where'the fish are known to'lie. The hook isf baited with a live minnow. A>' comparatively heavy "sinker is'used, for the fish lie very, hear the "bottom in '"the still waters of the lakes: > Sometimes the lines, arc left over night, in.avhich.case almost 'all of them" will be found'.to have, ' hooked" a fish by morning." 'For fishing in the-daytime, a very "simple-device is used to signalize-a bite:-. ' ' . ' A piece sof, la th, ��������� about two ;, feet, long, with a hole in ..it, a little nearer one end than the other,'is' used. Through this hole in the,.lath is loosely run a crossbar, which is laid across the hole in the ice. To tho short end of the lath the line is'attached, j ' The moment the bait is seized by 'the fish, the other end of the lath flies upright, and remains so as long as the fish pulls', thus notifying the fisherman to secure his prize. When thero are some" fifty to a hundred lines, and the fish .are biting freely, it is exciting enough sport to rush from one cmivcring signal to another, for, perhaps, there are four or six in the air at the same time. Another plan for taking these fish\ in winter is resorted to by the Indians in parts of the Great Lake region. This is the method of spearing ..through the ice from under a tepee or temporary shanty, erected over the hole in the ice. A" decoy minnow' is kept in motion in the water until the fish is enticed into sight, immediately under the' opening. cutt in*.the ice. Then the cruel Indian-weapon descends and fastens itself h_7the" flesh of -the writhing dore. When live minnows cannot be obtained, pieces of ouitouche, as the French-Canadians call the chub, and ev;en small lumps of pork furnish good bait for the pike-perch, which at times does not object to make a meal of the young of its own species. Sulvelinus namaycush, or the great lake trout, which is one of , tho largest fish taken through the ice by Canadian ' anglers, grows to an enormous size in northern waters. One was sent to Ottawa, a few years ago, from Lake Ontario. which weighed 53 pounds. It is found eciually as largo in Lake St. John, Tscholagama, .���������'.Jvjistas'sin, and nearly all'the 'large-lakes, of the Labrador peninsula. . ' By French-Canadians it is known both as the touladi and the queue fourchec, or forked tail trout. The Montagnais Indians know it as koko- 'mesh, while its; scientific name of na- maycush comics from the name applied;.to it by the Nopigon Indians. It is almost invariably captured in deep, cool water, and in fact, can survive.in no other iii the hot summer months. Even in winter it; is found in the deepest waters of large lakes. In the region of the Great Lakes of the St. Lawrence system, it is generally known as the Mackinaw trout. Though a true trout, Roosevelt does not include the na- maycush among the game fish of the north. ��������� .. \ The excellence of its flesh and the large size attained by it, make it much sought for by anglers,' when no fly fishing is to be had, and by lumbermen, Indians and others in the woods as an article of food. The lake trout are not exactly as free biters as the pike-perch, but they grow very much larger. Those taken by the '.Nascapce Indians through Ojibways sticks in 'the ice, they are careful with their 'hatchets. A squaw, even on the coldest winter /nomine,, will ihrow ,her blanket ������������������mwI ber -,hi>rvv to, tr|e hole in tho ice, cast'Jier blanket\bvcr the sticks, crouch beneath it, and bcj_in to fishi, probably catching'half a dozen pike- perch in half an hour;' ', ( ., ��������� The hooks with which tho Nasca- pee Indians catch fhe big lake trout in' the far north are of peculiar construction,, being often formed of wood and bone, or wood and copper, or altogether- from the'.bone's of tho deer, and cothsist of two. distinct piece������, about four-inches ,long, tied together in the middle, "whi-h, when the fish' -bites, and.the fisherman strikes, 'separate and stretch acro'ss tho Jaws of the huge-trout. There''is an alleged record of one of ��������� these fish 'having been caurht, by a" Hudson Bay ��������� agent named Mackenzie, which weighed 80'pounds.' , For a short time in January tho people of Quebec and the dwellers by other parts of the. St. Lawrence enjoy fishing'through' the ice without theu trouble of traveling away inland/to the frozen lakes of the. far north country. - 'On tlie estuary . of the St. Charles and on'the battures of ice that extend out from the shores ' " The I-at������Kt J'"loi-:.l Wonder.- .'

He is'of Scotch parentage. . He received his elementary education "at" Ayr, and- eonseciucntly attended the high schools'of, St. Catharines and--l)undas.- In 1S78 'he received ..the degree, of-M.D., from the Toronto University, and immediately began ..the practice, of medicine ] at Port* Elgin, where he ��������� remained'(. a year, lie -also practised for. six months at.

Aigie removed to Alton, where he is .still, engaged in the practice' of his profession. Tic has built ,up a large and lucrative practice, and is reputed to 'he a gen ���������-Ionian of considerable wealth. He stands.high in his profession, being"' considered one of -the best surg.ons and physicians in this part of Ontario. In 18S0-- Br. Algic married Miss Bachel J ago of Itockwood, and the fruit of the union is a son and three daughters. The son's name is Wallace Lloyd, and herein we have the key to the doctor's choice of a nom de plume. . Dr. Algic first appeared as on author about three yea/rs ago, when, "Houses of Glass" was published, and received' very favorable notices from the keenest and ablest critics. His latest, work of fiction is "Bergen Worth," which appears ,to have made a distinct hit-in England, and is likely to ,be even more favorably received in' this country. ������ In private life and conversation Dr. Algic is all that a'perusal of his writings would lead one to v infer���������bright, piquant and interesting. In entering the literary arena, where there arc so many struggling for fame and fortune, he has had the courage of a man of dash and true ambition, and The Post hopes tliat he will eventually secure a permanent place amid the galaxy of the rare immortals.

Looking back upon all the people that I have known I can safely say that the number of unhappy marriages I have personally witnessed has been very small indeed, said the late Sir Walter Bcsant. By far the larger number of wives have accepted cheerfully .he position of housekeeper and matron/ They have kept house for the husbands and children whose happiness is their own. Many of them have kept house with the earnest intention of making a house beautiful, which became a continual feast for themselves; many'of them have,brought art into every part of the daily life, which has been a continual feast for themselves as well as the other members of the house; for all these matrons the daily work'has been a daily delight.-, Then, as for drudgery.and monotony, is there none in a man's, work? ��������� Think'of the monotony and drudgery of a city' clergyman's life; when every day he has to tramp around the ungrateful slums.

A number of Parisian financiers were recently defrauded of a very considerable sum of money by a swindler y/ho relied for the success of his scheme entirely upon the peculiar properties of iodide of starch. Posing as a man of considerable wealth, whose.money was tied up in such a manner that be could not realize vrithout heavy losses and pretending te have the option of some valuable concessions in China, he obtained, various large amounts of money in exchange for bills dated to stand for three months. . ��������� No one for a moment suspected that there was anything in the least degree shady about the mail or his transactions, and when be made it public that he bad been successful in selling his Chinese concession at a Large profit his creditors felt absolutely certain that he would meet his bills. To their immense surprise, however, ���������when they came to look through their papers to find the bills they only found bills with blank spaces in the places where the swindler's name should bavo been and had actually been. They clamored round him for an ''explanation of the strange affair, but he denied that he had ever given any of them bills and defied them to sue him for repayment of the loans, and the fact that the bills were devoid of the swindler's signature, rendered them absolutely worthless. The matter was put into the hands of the police, who were able to discover that in signing the bills the man bad used a solution of iodide of starch, which, when first used for writing, appears much the same as ordinary ink, but completely disappears in the course of-a few. weeks, and, although traces of the chemical may subsequently be discovered, nothing can make the writing show up again. Finding that his victims had discovered his method, the schemer decamped, despite the fact that the chances of the police obtaining a conviction against him were very remote indeed.
