Uaed in Millions of Homes���40 Years the Standards London, Nov. 24.���In the House of Commons to-day the Right Hou. Henry Fowler, secretary of the Looal Government Board, said he declined to authorize boards of guardians to provide work for the unemployed. Mr. James K. Hsrdie, Socialist member for the south division of Westham, moved an adjournment of the House with a view of discussing the condition of the uuem ployed. The motion was rejeoted by a vote of 412 to 44. Mr. Hardie remarked that he hoped the unemployed would take matters into their own hands. In reply to a question propounded by Lieut,-General Sir George Chesney, Con servative member for Oxford oity, Mr. Gladstone said there was no reason to fear that the naval strength of the country would not be kept at the proper standard. Mr. John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland, had to-day sufficiently recovered from his recent indisposition to allow of his reappearance in the House. His illness, however, had left its mark upon him and he looked shaken. Mr. William Johnson, Conservative member for South Belfast, asked if the Government knew that two thousand Armenians were confined in Turkish priaons. Sir Edward Grey, Parliamentary Secretary of the foreign office, said in reply that the Government did not know the number of Armenians in confinement in Turkey. He added that without strong evidence as to the innocence of tbe prisoners it would be impossible foi the Government to interfere in their behalf. In response to question on the subject Mr. Gladstone said that the government had no present intention of providing a residence in Ireland for the Duke of York. The matter of direliot vessels that has several times been brought up in the House evoked another question to-day. Sir U. Kay Shutllewortb, secretary to Admiralty, in reply stated that the Government did not intend to send a warship to destroy abandoned vessels floating around in the ocean. No record, he added, of a ship striking a direliot could be found by the admiralty. Mr. Miohael McCartan retorted: "That may be beoanse none was left to tell the tele." Scotch Miners Have Agreed to Arbitrate. Glasgow, Nov. 24.��� Nineteen-twentieths of the Scotch coal miners are idle in consequence of the strike growing out of the masters' refusal to increase their wages a shilling a day. A meeting of the strikers was held here to-day and it was decided to oontinue the strike. The men expressed themselves as willing to agree to the appointment of a board of oonciliation to settle the difference between them and the mine owners. Want Permission to Contraot. London, Nov. 24*���Delegates representing one hundred thousand workmen waited on Lord Salisbury today and urged that he should introduce in the Home of Lords a olauae to be added to the employers liability bill permitting contracting. The bill passed its third reading in the House of Commons last night. Lord Salisbury told the deputation that the Government made a great mistake in refusing to concede suoh a clause as the one the workingmen demanded. The Bill was sure to create ill-feeling between masters and men. He promised to give favorable consideration to the proposal that the olause ahould be inserted when the bill reached the House of Lords. Fatal Accident in a Mine. London, Nov. 24.���A fatal accident oo- ourred to-day at the Burnhope colliery, Durham. While a number of miners were being hoisted to the surface the rope by whioh the cage is lifted fell to the bottom of the shaft. Four of them were instantly killed. The Freneh Chamber. Paris, Nov. 24.���The Gaulois says that M. Peytral, Minister of Finanoe, resigned yestsrday, but that Prime Minister Dupuy refused to oonaider the queation until after the division in the Chamber of Deputies on the Government's demand for a vote of confidence. Pittsburg Miners Strike. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 24.���The strike of the Railroad Coal miners of two years ago is likely to be repeated. Several hundred men are out now, and unless the district convention called for next Wednesday in this oity, orders otherwise, they will stay out. Work will cease in dozens of mines tomorrow and the number of idle men will reaoh nearly 1,000. No more work will be done at any of the mines until after the convention next Wednesday. The operators have notified the miners that commencing to-morrow tbe price of mining will be sixty oents a ton, a reduction of nineteen oents. The workmen regard this out as exoessive, as there has been no change in the selling Srioe of ooal. The convention next Wednes- ay will deoide upon the price to be maintained throughout the Pittsburg district by a strike if necessary. THE ELITE PHOTO STUDIO Has removed from the old plaoe to the new stand, near the Nanaimo Opera House. Best Photos in the City. Cloudy days preferred for sittings. 8-u sal special to tbe Telegraph says further trouble over the laborer situation is brewing,brought about by a secret meeting of the law and order league this afternoon. The following circular invitation whs secretly distributed among fifteen business men of the city this morning:���Spokane, Wash., Nov. 24���Pro- f undly impressed with the! necessity for prompt and efficient organization of law- abiding men iu this community for the pur- ' pose of meeting the sprit, of lawlessness and anarch, v> hi h has so lately and strikingly manifested itself. The undersigned after consultation with other citizens, requests you zo attend at. Ihe Auditorium Hall this day at 2 p. m., for the purpose of considering the above mentioned matter and of taking such action as may be deemed advisable. H. W. Fair- weather, N. F. Essig, Geo. Turner, A. K. McBroom, J. T. Lockhart. Bringall friends in sympathy with this movement. At 2 o'clock a large crowd including many laboring men and agitators were present nt the hall. Hon. Geo. Turner, candidate for the United States senate, called the meeting to order. In a speech tie strongly condemned the demonstrations uf the working men and continuing said "A mob assembled in the superior court room to over awe the judiciary and intimidate counsel. This mob had gathered at the Sevieto building and made its inmates believe that violence was intended. The mob had paraded streets, and speeches threatening death and destruction had been made. He then said "Now I want every anarchist to get out of this room." But no one moved. By this time the hall was packed and others were constantly arriving. A committee of fifteen was appointed to remove objectionable persons and about fifty were fired out, but others immediately took their places. Ex-Deputy United States Marshal Joe Warren was then stationed at the door to keep others out. Judge Turner then resumed his speeoh when he was interrupted by Harry Wilson, a brother of Congres- man John L. Wilson, who jumped up to speak. Turning fircely on him Turner said, "Sit down, you d d little demagogue." A tumult ensued. Frank Graves then jumped to his feet and shouted, we must proteot this city. My partner, Mr. Turner, has just received a telegram from United States Marshal Vinson saying that there is a plot to blow up the Morning Seview building to-night." F. H. Mason also said there was a plot to blow up the waterworks. This the workingmen deny. Further speeches were made, and a committee of fifteen was appointed to see that the city was protected to-night, Workingmen held a stormy meeting to-night to protest against the utterances made against them at the law and order meeting. Another Shooting Affair. Kankakee, Ills., Nov. 24.���Jesse D. Smith, aged 40, committed a double murder at noon to-day. Entering the home of his divorced wife, he engaged in an altercation with her and threatened her child, aged 7, who was present at the time. Mrs. Gray- bell, an elderly widow, who was living with Mrs. Smith, entered the room at this time, and Smith became wild in his threats. Mrs. Graybell became frightened and went to her room and Becured her revolver, but before she oould use it Smith shot both women through the heart. Both fell on the floor, one on top of the other, and died instantly. Smith then placed his revolver to his head and pulled the trigger. The ball struck the skull and glanced, doing but little injury, lie then ran to his boarding house, nearly half a mile distant. The sheriff and other officers were immediately after him, but two minutes before they arrived Smith placed the revolver to his right temple and blew his brains out. He was formerly a merchant in this city, but failed about 18 months ago. He was caught in a compromising position with a woman not his wife, and Mrs. Smith secured a divorce. Jealousy was the probable cause. The New Bralzlllan Cruiser. New York, Nov. 24.���The Brazilian flag was unfurled on board the steamer formerly known as the Brittania, and the vessel was christened the America by Miss Mendonca, daughter of the Brazilian Miniater this afternoon. The steamer was towed to an ancorage between Bedloes Island and Rob bin's Reef Light early this morning. Ssveral lighters went alongside and boxes containing ammunition were put aboard. The crew whioh was shipped yesterday was all togged out in blue j*ckets, trousers aud blue caps. Mello's Agents In the United States. Nkw York, Nov. 24.���United Statea District Attorney Mitchell says that yesterday he was approached by three men, who professed to be the agents of Admiral Mello, whe asked him to take action to prevent the departure of the Brazilian oruiser America, which has been fitted out to help fight Mello's fleet. Gen. Martin T. McMa- hon introduced the strangerB to him, and stated that they* wished to oall his attention to seotion 6,283 of the neutrality laws, whioh was designed to prevent the people of United States interfering with people with whom they had been at peaoe. Two of the agents were Edmund Guerin, and Franois E. Develin. The name of the third could not be learned. The District Attorney told the men that he thought the Government could only recognize the regular constituted Government of Brasil. At any rate he oould do nothing in t)he matter except to impart his advice to the collector of the port as Lis legal adviser, if he waa aaked for it. The men then left the District Attoorney's offioe. Resorting to Dynamite. Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 24.���A young man named Frank McLauohlin, who lives at No. 370 Exchange street, called at the polioe headquarters this afternoon and handed to Chief Hayden a package of five sticks of dynamite, whioh he stated he had found near the Lehigh Valley tracks at Wood Avenue Bridge. At the point where the package was found, there is a small tool house a few feet from the track. The sticks are about eight inches long and ons inch in diameter. They were tied together and were wrapoed in a pieoe of paper. ing. The weather was favorable and ths big vessel steamed leisurely to the course. She went over the first time at an average of 22 21, knots per hour, but on her return tiipmetwitha slight accident and didn't complete her trip. Un returning in a rongh sea and going east at an inoreased speed making 142 revolutions the feed pump broke down, necessitating an auxiliary pump being started which primed the boilers and stoled the engines preventing a finish. The Olympia came back aud anchored in harbor, where her pumps are now being overhauled preparing for another trial tomorrow. The contractors were on board and are entirely satisfied with the performance of to-day and are confident she will make 22 knots average for complete run. The Riffians Want an Indefinite Truce London, Nov. 24.���The Madrid correspondent of the Central News telegraphs:��� "Muley Araaf appealed to Maoia to grant an indefinite truce, that a courier might have time to carry the news of the Spauish terms to Fez. Meantime Melilla should be opened to native trade. Gen. Macia refused to entertain the proposal. He declared that unless Spain's terms were accepted he would resume shelling Ihe Riff positions. Nevertheless he eventually said he would submit Muley's request to the Spanish Government and await its reply before re-opening fire. Reserves His Acceptance. __ Rome, Nov. 24.���The response of the King to the notification by the ministers of their resignations, which was read in the Chamber of Deputies to-day by Signor Gio- litti, said that his Majesty would for the present reserve his acceptance of the resignations, pending deliberation as to the course he would take in oonsequenoe of the crisis that has arisen. Dynamite Fiends. Paris, Nov. 24.���The police in Orleans have seized many placards which bear the signatures of foreign atarchists now in London. 1 he placards eulogize the Barcelona anarchists and exhort anarchists to continue using dynamite. Socialists Heard From. Paris, Nov. 24.���A large meeting of socialists held here this evening censured the Government's declaration of policy as reactionary and based on a false conception of the country's needs. The Reward Increased. Seattle, VVashn., Nov. 24.���A Spokane, Washn., special says: The following telegram was received from Gen. Carlin: "Vancouver Barracks, VVashn., Nov. 24.��� To Capt. Elmer L. Merri.un, Spokane: Two thousand dollars mors offered to any party that brings my son and party alive to Spokane or Mivsoula before Jan. 1st. (Signed) W. P. Carlin." Knights of Pythias. Tbe regular meeting of Nanaimo Lodge No. 4, K. of P. was held on Thursday evening when the following officers were sleeted: Joseph Smitt, C. C.; N. Millburn, V. C. ��� Robert Rivers, P.; Richsrd Nightingale, M. of E. reelected; E. B. Irvine, M. of F. re-elected; 0. Hawlnison, K. ot R. k S. reelected; T. Izeu, M. at Arms; Alex. Malhe- son, M. of W. After the officers had been installed an adjournment was made to the Opera House where preparations had been made for a grand ball. The room was well filled better indeed than it has been for some years past. The programme was well selected and the arrangements perfect indeed, it was the common remark of those who were guests and unconnected with the order that it was the finest thing of its kind seen within the walls of the Opera House. In connection with the evenings en joy men) was a supper provided by W. H. Philpot. The table was beautifully laid and set out, and the supper Itself, well, it could not be better and waa praised by everyone. There is a good deal to be said in favor of the order. The order of Knights of Pythias is a powerful one and had its birth at an appropriate time. For three long years the brave men ot the North aod of the South had been engaged in a deadly struggle each side striving for what it believed to be right. Blood and carnage, death and destruction, broken lives and broken hearts were some of the results. Amidst this turmoil and strife, amidst the shouts of victory on the one side and the ories of pain and defeaton tho other, in the year 1864, at the federal capital, this order was born. Being based upon humanity, it appropriately took for its watchwords Friendship, Charity and Benevolence. Only a few oommenced tho work, but the humble beginning haa proapered. The membership has grown and inoreased until now, about twenty-nine years old, this order stands an equal to societies which have existed for oenturies, and it exists as a wondrous power for good, it can and does exemplify its principles by countless acts of friendship, charity and benevolence, and caring nothing for the politics or religion of its mombers, placing the rich and poor on the same level of love, asking nothing exoept that its roster shall contain none but white males who believe in a God and who praotice the cardinal tenets of this order. Its innumerable acts of humanity and love, its care and oomfort for the siok, the suffering aid the dying, command the universal verdict���it is a good thing. We again invite all who are qualified to join their ranks and assist in establishing and in inculcating the principles of Peaoe on earth, goodwill to men Sad Loss. Mr. J. T. Wilkinson of the World staff, who was stopping at the Wilson, received word yesterday of the illness of his little daughter Jean at Chilliwhack of ulserated aore throat. The little one has since beeh called away. She was 24 years of age but at that time in early life when the little prattling talk was becoming interesting. She was an especial pet of her father who ia his family tiss is of a strong affectionate nature and consequently feels his loss very deeply. The Telegram sympathises with Mr. Wilkinson in his heavy loss. NANAIMO, B. C., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1893. S BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE WEEK. Nanaimo Markets. We are glad to be able to make a more favorable report of the state of businesa for the past week. The disturbed condition o f the labor market for the last two or three months had no doubt a great deal to do with the scaroity of money and the general depression, but the settlement of these troubles and the six months agreement entered into between the employees of the New Vancouver Coal Co., have given a more steady and satisfactory feeling. Grocery merchants report that collections are much more satisfactory than they have been for some time past and that the end of the month will find them in a position to meet their liabilities. It is with regret that we have to announce the closing down of the East Wellington mine. The first shaft of th�� com- ��ny was sunk in September, 1882. Mr. abriel Wingate was then superintendent, a gentleman of remarkable activity and business qualifications, and considered one of the beat cosl mining engineers on the coast. It was the supposition when the shaft was undertaken that c ml was lying underneath in large and paying quantities, as the bore h >les already sunk, and the proximity of the Wellington colliery fully justified tbe owners in expecting a good return for any money expended in prospecting. Mr. Robt. Dunn had charge of the shaft the sinking of which was pushed by 3 shifts the men receiving large wages to incite them to special efforts, The construction of a saw mill and of a railroad to connect the works with Departure B��y were also undertaken while the shaft was being sunk so that no delay might ensue when the coal was "won". The shaft descended on a large seam of coal which of course waa a oauss of great rejoicing but prospecting from ths bottom ran into disturbed ground and it was Boon found that the coal existed only in pockets with no continuous or certain seam. From thattimeuntilthistheoompany have prospected this ground in the face of difficulties and losses which would have overwhelmed many another ooncern, but pay day, after pay day name and went and the wages of all were forthcoming to the day. It is to the credit of the company that all of their obligations were promptly paid on the first day of every month without one single exoeption from the day the work was began up to the day the mine shut dy wn. At present the rails are mearly all removed and during the coming week the two large pumps, which have hitherto kept the main clear of water will also be taken out. The coal trade shows an improvement in exportation, but the vessels entered inwards are not as many as in the past week. The arrivals, besides tugs and local boats, have been the Costa Rica, Montserrat, Sea King and C. F. Sargent, while the following have cleared for San Francisco: TO DUNSMUIR k SONS Nicaraguan str. Costa Rica, 1,273, M jIu- tyre, 2,57a tons. TO R. D. CHANDLER. Am. bk. Seminole, 1,370, Weedon, from Dunsmuir k Sons, with 2,100 tons of coal. Nicaraguan bk. Dominion, 1255, Greenlief, with 2,000 tons of coal. TO JOHN ROSENFELD & SONS. Am. bk. Carrelton, 1,390, Lewis, with 2,350 tons. Am. sp. John A. Briggs, 2,033, Balch, With 3,240 tons. Hawaiian str. Xlontserratt, 849, Blackburn, with 1,500 tons. TO VANCOUVER. Robert Kerr, with 1,800 tons of coal, to Coleman, Evans & Co. TO VICTORIA. Str. Maude, with full cargo of coal. There are at present some vessels lying in port awaiting cargoes, and their loading will be proceeded with during the coming week. There will be no hurry in their despatch as the market in San Francisco is well supplied and no very quiok demand exists. The total export of coal far the week is about 1,600 tons. Ths following vessels are expected: Maohusetts from San Pedro, Str. Crown of England from San Deigo (sailed Thursday) and the B. P. Cheney k Oriole for Dunsmuir 4; Sons; and Margaret for Union Colliery Co. Since our last report the Richard III which Was on the beach at Departure Bay calking her garboard and cleaning hull has been towed to Comox to load at the Union Mine. The weather during the last week has militated a great deal against ths retail bueinsss- The fall ot anow followed by heavy rains have made the roads heavy for teams and vehicles and the streets almost impassable for pedestrians. There are no business changes to mention beyond what we mentioned last week. Mr. W. H. S. Perkins has opened out with a modest stock to which he does not intend to add until spring. He has entered a large order for that season, when he will be able to display a stook in keeping with the season and the city's requirements. Mr. T. L. Brown has removed to the new premises lately occupied by A. Richardson, where he will have a better advantage to display his stock. In the old stand, being cramped for room, he was at a great diadvautage, his goods being so closely packed as to make it difficult to show them to his customers. His stock being a large one and most carefully chosen, he expects his ohange of business sit* will bring with it its rsward in rapid sales. In buildings ws have nothing fresh. All the work at present in this line is confined te finiahingjthose already commenced. Tha Salvation Army barraoks are going on steadily. In a few days the walls will be sufficiently raised to receive the roof. The Fire Hall, over wich a considerable discussion has been held in the City Council, has been received and handed over by the corporation to the fire "laddies." The building is to all appearances a good one, and will no doubt be appreciated by its new tenants, who have well earned it, after many years of gratuitous work. The lumber trade is very dull, and with the exoeption of odd purchases there ie nothing doing. Arrangements have been successfully carried out for the holding of a large Poultry Show towards the end of next month. This exhibition especially in the amount and ���aloe of the prize money will exceed anything yet held in Canada, if not in America. The prizes offered are larger than those of the World's Fair. The citizens have been very generous in their donations,butthe expenses are heavy. It is to bs hoped that those who have not as yet contributed will come forward and assist. These exhibitions assist the city by advertising it abroad and the more attractive the prize list, the more entries are likely to be made. A large influx of visitors will it is expected be the result, and business of all kind will benefit. | Groceries.

Grouse and wild fowl of all kinds are all fairly plentiful and return good prices. The prices at present are : Venison, 7c. to 10c a lb.; ducks���teal 25c , widgeon 50c, and mallard 75c. per brace ; spring chiokens, $1.50 per pair. Fish.

Closing firm at J A. |; C, advance as following the weat and the local covering. Closing prices:���Dec. 66^; Jan. 68i; May 73$; Sugar, dull steady; Fair refining, 2jj; Centrifugals, 96; Test 3 cents; Sales none.; Refined, steady moderate demand; Coffee closed steady; Prices unchanged to 15 points up, spot dull, prices steady; Hops in moderate demand, prices unchanged. The glut of money, the inoreased demand for first-class railway bonds, a reduction in sterling exchange and purchases of stocks for London account, produced a better condition of affairs at the stock exchange today. Some of the shrewdest manipulators on the street discovered early in the week that the market had been heavily oversold, and that a latent short interest existed that could be forced to cover, Another contingent of operators were advising caution, because of the tariff revision, with the lack of knowledge as to the result of the deliberations of the Ways and Means Committee. The chronic bears were adding to their show lines, while the bulls were gradually getting in a position to bid up prices sharply. This happened to-day and the shorts were badly punished. The great back log to the market is the extraordinary ease in money. Already investors are putting their aurplea funds iuto gilt edged bonds. As the supply is limited all the buyers are foroed to pick up the sscond grade of mortgages, whioh are reasonauly sure of paying their interest charges. As a rule stocks opened higher. Subsequently American sugar fell 1J to 93j!, and Genert.1 Eleotric 11 to 33J. Sugar was heavy oo statements from Washington that the Ways and Means Committee would recommend certain reviaions in the tariff which would affeot the oarrying capacity of the oonosrn. Gen. Else, weakened on a rumor, via. Boston, that the Company would pass into the hands of receivers. This was promptly and empathioally denied by President Coffin. The general market was strong from start to finish. Western Union moved up to 90J and the stook was strength, ened by an unfounded report that the Company had obtained control of the Postal Telegraph Oo. Reading was in better de* mand on rumors that the statement for October would make a fine showing. On the other hand the St. Paul road reported a loss of $65,165 for the third week of the ourrent month. But this did not have the slightest effeot on the market.

Exports of wheat and flour, both costs, this week. aggregate, 2,764,000 bushels, contrasted with 2,455 000 bushels last week of 465,000 in the third week of November last year, and 4,082,000 bushels in the same week of 1891. Navigation has also closed at Montreal and will Boon close at Buffalo. Montreal reports that Canadian cattle exporters have had an unprofitable season. Grain exports at that port this season are 16 per cent, heavier than last year. Business is unusually dull and the holiday trade not promising. At Toronto, as elsewhere in the Dominion, the business week his been b-oken into by ths Thanksgiving, and orders are small. Wheat is low in price and has been moving forward a little moro freely. At Halifax colder weather has stimulated the demand for dry goods and clsthing. Between clearings at Hamilton, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax they aggregate $15,680,000���20 per oent. less than last week, but 33 per cent, less than a year ago. TO CONTRACTORS.

OBSERVAT IONS WOnTHY OF HOTI IN RURAL AFFAIRS- A Brief But Comprehensive Summary of tin, Merits and Demerits of Game Fo.vls Whicli Have a Record aa Old aa the Oldest Written History. No variety of fowl has been more enthusiastically cullivateil by fanciers nnd country gentlemen of leisure thnn the game, although farmers, as a rule, have little or nothing to do with game fowls. Tho origiu aud nationality of the game fowl must remain a disputed question, iua-much as its record is as old as the oldest writ ten history. The game cook is designated by Wright as the undisputed king of all poultry, and requiring more careful Judging in regard to shape than any other bird. There are four recognized breeds namely, game, game bantam, Sumatra game, and Malay. The varieties are legion, there being sixteen distinct sorts recognized by tbe American standard. SILVER DUCKWING GAMES. The games are all attractive in appearance, the duckwing being perhaps the most beautiful. It is characterized by exceedingly graceful form and dignified carriage and brilliactly colored plumage. The silver duckwings are purer in blood than the yellow ducltwings, and are white skinned When of pure breed. The best layers, according to Wright, are the black breasted reds, with yellow legs, and the red Cheshire Elles, with white legs. The worbt layers are le grays. With the exception of these latter game fowls, as a rule, lay remarkably Well, averaging from 200 to 260 eggs per annum. The merits of game fowls are many and various They rank, as already stated, in Ihe vary first class as layers, providing they have gouu ru*is. They are also the best of table fowls as regards quality and flavor of flesh. Indeed, for delicacy of flavor their flesh is beyond comparison. They do not require to be fattened and tbey eat comparatively little. As mothers the hens are not to be equaled. There are of course drawbacks. Tbe size of both birds and eggs is small, and in confinement the game ben will by no means lay so well as the Bruhmas. Eamburgs and many othor varieties. Their quarrelsome disposition is also against them. Games cannot therefore be classed among breeds profitable for the average poultry keeper. They will, however, afford much pleasure to amateurs and others who can give their fowls ample range, being beautiful to look at aud providing a constant and abundant supply of delicious eggs aud delicately flavored meat. 2"��r-TV*aS1- "���'�� ���." "" *i j'~: :3v-'- BLACK BMASTKI) RED GAMES. As our readers already know games are largely bred for tbe pit, and at poultry show! carry off the lion's share of premiums. Thf best criterion of blood in all game fowls, according to Wright, is the color of tho eyes Black eyes show dirk blood, and tho lions of sucli strain lay white eggs. Red eyes show red blood, and the hens lay pinkish eggs, Yellow eyes are inferior in spirit to the others. Thu sorts most used for fl^htiug are those with black or red eyes, such as the brown breasted reds, dark grays, black breasted reds and red piles. Profits in Sheep-liaising. The young man, then, who is to succeed well in growing sheep ior the above-mentioned purposes must attend to several requisites. He should begin witb good grade shearling ewes. Let biili adhere to this cross, using only vigorous and well-bred rams. The lambs may be dropped on the grass if the Christmas market or that of Great Britain is the one sought. The ram lambs among them should, without fail, be castrated when from four to six weeks old. Wheu weaned, a piece of rape should be ready for th>m, which will push them on, at little cost, rapid* ly for the market. As rape will not grow on heavy soils, a grain ration of oats, oats and peas, or oats, pens and oilcake, may take iis place. When intended for shipment to Britain it is probable that it will be found a good practice to shear thein early iu September, and then to feed them through the winter, in lot-, uot too large, in one pen. The food rnuy consist of hay, some roots, and a grain ruiiou of oats and peas m equal parts. Lambs tr. uted thus will bring fully its to $7 per bead al the holiday season, aud fully $8 to i'j per lieud iu the spring for shipment to Britain. When farmers can get these prices for their lambs aud average one each per ewe, which is a low estimate, they are making money at the business, for the fleece of the dam and the manure obtained will probably pay her keep. The old plan of selling lambs for an average of $8 each in autumn to the looal butcher should be discarded. Raise a uetter class of lambs and they will find a better market, with a correspondingly better price. Never allow the ewes for breeding mutton lambs to become more than four or five yenrs old, or there will be difficulty in preparing them for the market. Wheu thoy are to be turned off also there U no cheaper fattening food ration than rape. snap Shots. If we all received just deserts what a dry time we wojldhave. Tune is money. That is why banks pay interest on time deposits. Many a coal-dealer becomes wealth; through tho error of his weighs. Strange to say, an inn-experienced maj usually makes the best hotel-keeper.

We have no doubt the commissioners will make a judicious appointment, one that will be entirely satisfactory to the ratepayers. Since the Municipal Act was so ammended as to bring the control of the police force under a board of independent commissioners composed of the mayor of the city, the county court judge and police mneistr&te, the danger of electing political hacks or incompetents simply because they or their friends have a sufficient "pull" to secure their appointment has entirely disappeared. That part of the Municipal Act providing for the management of the police uow in force in this Province is taken from the Ontario act, which has been found to work satisfactorily for many years past. There are two matters in municipal Government which all levelheaded men in this Province and elsewhere have decided should be placed beyond Ihe control of local prejudices and political bickering and they are the appointment of police magistrates and the control of police The Government, therefore, wisely decided to take over the former aud placed the latter in the hands of the most competent and independent control. It goes without saying that tbe County Court judge and police magistrate are the most competent hands in which the management of the police force could be placed, and when these are assisted by the mayor of the city concerned the citizens have an ab solute guarantee that the efficiency ot the force will be maintained. Neither the Government nor anyone else oan interfere with the appointments as the act now stands. Under these circumstances the insinuation in reference to the appointment of a successor to Chief O'Connel that the "Government has as snmed control of the oity police" is as base as it is uncalled-for. Judge Harrison, Police Magistrate Planta and Mayor Haslam will no doubt appreciate the charge that they are the tools of the Provincial Government, ready to appoint polioemen as dircted from Viotoria. However imperfect the Municipal Act may be in other respects, it certainly does not error in regard to the appointment of a police magistrate and the control of the police force. Only meddling empty headed demagogues anxious to get a slap at the Provincial Government take exception to it. he has failed on the score of thoroughness, for he has even, it is said, beaten Sir Evelyn Wood's record in the desire to post him' self on all details. There is not a branch of the service, Mr. Yates is assured, nor a department connected with the administration of which the Duke has not mastered all the arrangements. The Duke is not only generally recognized as a capable officer, but as one of the most popular in the service. He is enthusiastically devoted to his profession, and as the result of his zeal and ability he has steadily worked his way up to his present important position. The fact of his being the Queen's son way have something to do with his promotion, but it cannot be denied that he has genuine merit at his back in addition to royal blod in his veins. Monetary Timts: One of the many rooks upon which business men striko is extrava gance in living. Extravagance is a relative term, to be measured, not by the amount expended, bnt by the income. It is extravagant for the man who makes $.r),000 to spend $8,000, and the ultimate result must be failure; but, if he makes a net profit of {10,000 a year, he may spend $5,000 a year and still grow rich. It requires great moral courage in a nun of limited means, who has ambition for social distinction, and believes he has a good business, to keep his expenses down to a safe basis���and moral courage is a quality many do not possess.

Through an oversight the returns from Winnipeg, of the results of the late election in that city for the House of Commons to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Hugh J.

The total figures are, Martin, Liberal 2,208 Campbell, Conservative 1,769; majority 430, This is a victory for the Liberals but a good deal of the success may be ascribed to Mr. Martin's great personal popularity, and also to the faot that the whole strength of ths local Government of which he had formerly been Attorney-General were thrown into ths contest in his support. A Scotch paper says : Sir Charles Dilke's eon���Mr. Charles Wentworth Dilke, who is now an under graduate at Cambridge���so far from following in his father's political footsteps, and beginning life as a republican, is reported to be "about the strongest Tory who over addressed a debating aooiety."

He is an able man���one of the most gifted men in the House of Commons. He oontinues to take a deep interest in Colonial affairs, which he has made a special study of by means of extensive reading and personal knowledge and observation.

THS PROVINCIAL CAPITAL' Victoria, Nov. 24.���One of the most remarkable escapes on record of an entire ship's crew from a watery grave in mid- ocean is ohronicled in mail advices just to hand from the Orient. The steamer Swordsman bound for Mauritius and the steamer Gelderland, on her way to Aden came into collision just below the equator. The Swordsman sank but the Gelderland managed to reach Colombo after an experience probably unparalleled in the history of navigation. The story can hardly be appreciated without illustrations showing the Gelder- land's condition after the disaster, and when at last she reached port. Imagine a big ship of 2,000 tons with her stem torn olean away, with her starboard bowplates com pletely sto\ e in, and with the enormous hole stopped with planking held in position by bags of rice banked against it. On the port side all the bowplates were displaced, for in the collision the nose of the steamer was torn right round and beut completely out of Its proper position. To keep these plates from escaping great iron chains had to be passed out through the port side and carried around the nose of the steamer and baok again through open'ngs on the starboard side, as one would bind up with ropes ths loose staves of a broken barrel. Bearing this oondition of affairs in mind the reader can understand what a terribly arduous time the ship's crew must have gone through, and what* great technical skill must have been displayed by the oommander, Capt. Sedboor, in getting her and the bulk of her cargo safely to port. The captain states that in the emergency her bulkhead arrangements did not fail to serve the purpose for whioh they were intended, but they alone were far from sufficient. To stop up the hole, cargo was taken out of the forehold and piled against planking that had been placed against the remaining plates, but two or three times this and the temporary stay were completely washed away. When at length a stop-gap had been effected, the voyage could only be undertaken with the greatest caution and the dexterity of the offioers was severely tested in so encountering the waves that they should not injure the patched up part. Bough weather was twice met with in the voyage of 3,200 miles, which occupied 13 daps, and for safety the ship had to be put broadside on to some seas and nearly stern first to others. The Gelderland was owned by the Rotter- damsohe Lloyds. The Swordsman carried every soul on board to the bottom with her. halt TIME TABLE No. 19, To take effeot at 8:00 a.m. on Thureday, Ootober 12th, 1893. Trains run on Pacifio Standard Time.

Richardson, Foreman, I. Cheneworth, E. W. Treure, T. Miller, W. Stuart, J. McNeil and D. C. McKenzie. E. A. Praeser testifitd that about 11 p.m. Wednesday, he was coming out of the Wilson House where he had been attending a meeting, when he was asked to see Thomas Hirst whom he found to be quite cold, and death must have occurred nearly three quarters of an hour before he saw him. After describing the appearance of the body as he saw it at the time, he said that he waB of opinion that deal h was due to asphysia, caused by intoxication and the position in whioh he was lying. Robt. Westmorland deposed to having known the deceased for the last twenty years. He had seen him at 8 o'clock on Wednesday e> uuing and ho was then apparently in the best of health. Last Saturday deceased told him that ho was afraid he was going to have trouble with his throat. The deceased had been treated for an arlliction of the throat some six weeks ago and on one occasion, for fulling of the palate, and almist died from suffocation. The medical attendant at that time remarked, too, that he was just in time to save his life. W. H. Kenyon said that deoeased was nnder the influence of liquor when he entered the Wilson House early in the evening. Later on he saw him in the passage way apparently asleep between two boxes. A. McCallum testified to having seen Hirst in the barroom of the hotel and had served him with one drink, but did not notice that he was intoxicated. There was a large crowd in and he took no particular notice of him. Helped afterwards in the passage way to place him in an easy position to sleep off the effects of what he had taken. The jury decided that deceased had come tc his death by suffocation caused by overindulgence in intoxicating liquors, and added a rider recommending that the law in regard to supplying intoxicated persons with liquors be more rigidly enforced. Fatal Accident. Yesterday a farmer by the name of Mr. Plummer, who lives quite close to the Englishman's rivsr bridge, discovered the fresh tracks of a bear upon the white sand by the side of the swiftly rolling water. Believing that Bruir. must be in the vicinity, he procured the assistance of two others named Mills and J. Kinneard, the latter a carpenter engaged in building a house for Mrs. Hurrell, quite close to the river. In j oompany with these two he tracked Bruin to a large cedar with a hollow stump. At the bottom of the cedar the growth parted, , making a large entrance into the tree. As the tracks appeared to cease at the en- j trance of the tree, the hunters filled the en- ! trance up with brush and sticks, so as to ! prevent Bruin's exit while they chopped down the tree. Kinneard, who had laid hia rifle down, took hold of the end of it to move it out of the way while they went to work with the axe. Whether the hammer caught in a branoh or whether it waB a twig caught the trigger is not known but the rifle exploded the ball striking the oheek and passing upwards oame out of the top of the head killiny poor Kinneard instantly. Mr. Kennedy happened to be passing at the the time with another gentleman in a buggy. They immediately got out of their vehicle and lifted the dead body into the house which his skill had so lately erected. Mr. Plummer and Mills were so shocked with the terrible and sudden death of their companion that they appeared to be perfeotly dazed and unable to lend a hand. A special messenger was, with the particulars as above given, were at once sent into the Telegram offioe. Dr. Walkem, Coroner for the Province, left at an early hour this morning for Englishman's river to hold an inquess. A Tempting Position, But One WMch Carries With It Many Penalties. To be the mistress of the white house is altogether tempting, it is a position of almost unequaled social power and influence, which has tested and proved the tact, good'sense and true womanhood of most of those who have reached the distinction. In ordinary times the white house is the center of a social life which fixes popular attention; the movements there are matters of the widest public interest, and many of them are of such character that the people in general feel as \r they themselves were participants. In all the history of our country this social life in the white house has been of that simple and unpretentious character so becoming to the republican tastes and habits of the people at large. With all its temptations to ostentatious and gaudy display and personal exclusivencss. it has always been maintained apart from these. The wives of the presidents, like the presidents them- ! selves, have come from the people, and I have taken the simple but sufficient social forms of the country into the I most conspicuous social position of the j lady of the white house. Under almost ! no administration has the president I himself been more firmly fixed in the hearts of the American people than the i lady who has directed the social life of the executive residence during his term. And the names of many of these ladies ���the Philadelphia Press declares them to be the best types c if American womanhood���stand out almost as prominently even as the names of the presidents. But the position has its penalties. The exactions have been too much for some of those upon whom the responsibility has been thrown. Even those whose physical strength has proved sufficient to all the emergencies have found much in the never-ceasing social attentions that was extremely undesirable, even burdensome. The seini- publie character of the daily life of all the members of the white house family is sadly destructive of trne domestic living. A partial if not a complete relief has been suggested in the entire separation of the family residence from the house in which the executive business of the whole nation is transacted. That would certainly admit of a greater degree of privacy and quiet, while in no sense detracting from the social life in the administration circle. The white house in its present condition is not suited as it should be to private life. It is not desirable to destroy the building, for it has historical associations that endear it to the American people; but it might be added to so that there shall be a practically separate family residence, one wholesome, healthful and proper. THE SULTAN OF MOROCCO. Rifle Match. Owing to the stormy weather on Thursday, the attendance at the rifle match of N. I. Co. was very small. This fact precluded any chance of firing the international match, but it was decided to shoot for the cup and medala. Tbe ''commence firing" bugle waB sounded at 1:30 p. m. at 200 yards range. It was found impossible to shoot at the 500 yards range, as the snow made it almost impossible to see. The rest of the matches were postponed. The winners ot the medals and cup are aa follows : Private Hilditch 3 3 3 4 4 3 4���24 Bugler Williams 3434 3 4 4���25 Corporal Miller 44345 3 4���27 Private Roberts 5 44504 4���26 Private Hndson 233432 3-20 That leaves Corporal Miller the winner of the cnp. m B. C. Cruiser. Messrs. Fleming k Ferguson, shipbuilders and engineers, Paisley, have received an order from ihe Government of Canada to ! build an armed service Bteamer for use on the Pacific coast. She is to be somewhat similiar to the Quadra, built by them for the same Government about two years ago and is to have, as in the case of that steamer a set of the builders' patent quadruple expansion engines.���The People's Journal Glas- eow, Nov. 4th. The above is clipped from as it will be seen, a Glascow paper. The same statement was made in the Provincial papers some time ago but was denied by local agents of the Dominion Government. However, the Ottawa authorities do not seem to take the agents into their confidence as the oontract is already let. Narrow Esoape. Two young men returning from Newcastle Island yesterday in a row boat when It was very windy and quite a sea on, had a very narrow escape. The one pulling the boat missed his stroke throwing the oar out of tbe rowlock, and losing his balance by the ���harp miss of his oar fell overboard. The young man in the boat did his utmost to gnide the boat to his struggling companion but the wind and sea were too much for him. In the meantime the young man in the - water seeing that boat was drifting swiftly from him and realizing that he would waste his strength in endeavoring to reaoh it struck out for the shore whioh after a terrible straggle he managed to reach in safety. ��� Job Printing.

Sultan Muley Hassan, instead of remaining shut up in his harem, like his father and ancestors, commonly marches himself at the head of his troops, says St. James Gazette. He is hardy and enterprising, an intrepid soldier, a brilliant horseman, and is, altogether, as fine a type of a warlike sovereign as the end of the nineteenth century can show. And he is always on the march. If he is not hurrying from one to another of his three capitals���Fez, Miknaz and Maraksh���he is leading an expedition to quell a rebellion or collect taxes (it is one and the same thing) in some distant province. Indeed, the encampment is the chief business of the Moorish government, which does not trouble itself to rule its subdued subjects (this duty is left to the kaids of provinces, and woe betide them if they fail to send to court the required tribute), but directs all its energies to warring incessantly against rebel subjects who refuse to acknowledge its authority. The sultan's camp, therefore, is his true capital and his army is his empire. Whether on -the war path or merely journeying from one capital to another, the sultan, who always travels in the midst of his army, invariably maintains the same state. With that characteristic love of the sun which distinguishes all the Moors he marches all through the heat of the day. When he shifts his camp, late in the morning, the tents are first sent on ahead���as with our Indian armies���that they be ready for their tenants on their arrival at the next encampment. Then the troops spread out over the country, forming an immense straggling line, in the center of which is the sultan, followed by a picked body of the elite of his soldiers and by a few of the women of his harem on mtilcback and carefully veiled. At a little distance in foont of the sultan rides the kaid el meshwar, or grand master of the ceremonies, followed by a group of favored attendants, each of whom carries some necessary object for the sultan's progress or likely to add to his comfort. Thus there is the mul el fas, or master of the hatchet, whose duty it is to clear away brushwood that might inconvenience the sultan; the mul mahamaz, or master of the spurs, who carries the sultan's spurs, which his majesty only requires when he performs feats of horsemanship; the mul zarbia, or master of the carpet which is spread on the ground when the sultan desires to sit down; the mul strombia, or master of the cushions on which the sultan reclines; the mul belghah, or master of the slippers, ready to provide the sultan with a fresh pair if he desires a change from those he has on; the mul el ma, who gives the sultan water from a gazelle skin when he is thirsty; the mul atai, who prepares tea for his use; and then, after an interval, come two mounted spearmen, behind whom, at a little distance, rides the sultan, having on either side a mul zif, or fly-flicker, and behind his right stirrup the mul m'dul, bearer of the shereefian umbrella.

T IS PROBABLE that !very few Canadian* '/' . ^ i ' m&3m w 'rom'" l*wM*w? ���ihbj tfll-J, II- -"* ure aware of ihe Vast 'extent of Ontario's jgroat Loue Land, stretches along Height of Laud the main line of the Canadian 1'at lh: Railway to the shores of Hudson ISay and James Jiay. It. is more than prnUible they do DO know that the area J| of this g r e a t north- ��.1 ern territory is not law. than 75.000 square miles iu ext 'lit. Thia tract includes what In known as th, Height of Land, which is fun miles in length Ly an average breadth of 70 milos���85,000 square miles iu all. The Height of Laud, where the parting of the river.s takes place, is not, as many suppose, a chain of mountains with gharp, well-defined ridges dividing the waters which flow South from those flowing North, but it is iD reality a tableland or plateau, ihe average elevation of which is only about.1200 feet above the sea level. This large territory belonging to Ontario, while now practically uninhabited, save by a few tribes of Indians, may yet see the da; when it will hold a large population that will settle on the banks of its greit rivers. They may also be unaware that Ontario has a frontage of 150 miles following the shore line of James Bay. That purtiou ot the coast which forms this frontage is low and sha low. Unfortunately this 150 miles of shore line contains no harbor for vessels drawing more than ten feet of water. And yet another fact is in all probability not widely known, viz:���that some of the main rivers flowing into Jainos Bay are navigable for a distance of from 50 to 100 miles from their mouth for vessels drawing six or eight feet of water. Omitting the Great Lakes, Ontario now contains, roundly speaking, 200,000 square miles of territory. This is nearly double tbe area of the United Kingdom; only 12,000 square miles less than the whole German Empire ana equal to the combined areas of Holland, Portugal, United Italy, Switzerland and Belgium Thus we who live in Ontario can boast of a no mean country in so far as area is concerned. There is living in Toronto, at 45 Walker Avenue, a gray haired gentleman, Mr. E. B. Borron by name, who during ten successive summers explored this exiensive stretch of country, and it is to him that 1 am largely indebted for the brief fact given below. He divides this ter1 belts or zones, vizi- Land plateau, chiefly remarkuble for the number of its fresh water lakes. 2 The intermediate plateau or belt, note for the falls and rapids iu all the ri vers by which it is crossed in their course to James Bay, and 3. Tin northerly or coast-belt, the plain or flat country, largely covered with muskegs or peat-mosses; almost treeless (excepting those near the rivers,) and extending from the foo of the great falls or rapids above mentioned to the coast of James Bay. Nearly all the great rivers, where flowing North or South, have their origin in the chain of lakes ou the Height of Land plateau. Six of these great rivers having their sources on this plateau nearly a thou sand miles apart, converge to such a degree that they pour their waters into James Bay within a radius of only sixty miles! The Albany River is the largest river in the territory and is navigable for a distance of 250 miles from its mouth. The Abittibi is unvigable for 70 miles; the South Moose for 90 miles and the "North Moose for 12.1 miles. The Abittibi and Moose rivers become one stream eighteen miles above Moose Factory, but, strange to say, their waters do not appear to mingle until both are lost in James Buy. No less than thirty large rivers run into Hudson and James Bay. - Moose Factory is situa'od on an Island iu James Bay in the estuary formed by the Abittibi aud Moose Rivera. Moose Island has an area of only 1000 acres and is pertect- ritory into three 1 The Height ot* ly flat. The settlement is on tho south east side of the Island and contains the office, warehouses and cottages of the Hudson Bay Company, a* well as a church aud School house. Mr. Borron discovered several important and curious geological facts on his various tours. Ho found, for instance, that a 1 n*ge proportion of the clay and other loose materials lying on the height of land plateau must have come from the far north and that it had been carried in some mysterious way up hill I He discovered fragments of the Devonian limestone 150 miles from where that rock is found "in situ," and, what is still more remarkable, not less than 800 or ' 900 ieet above it. He further observed a variety of quartzite near Lake Minnie- 1 takie which he believes to have come from j the Eastern coast of Hudson Bay 1000 miles 1 distant! The character of the loose mater- ' ial on the surface ot the plateau, the rugged shape of the hills and ridges, the gorges extending for miles north and south������ quarried by no visible hand out of the hardest of rook���afford convincing proof of tremendous erosion. It is evident that a sea of ice 2,000 feet deep must have covered the height of land. Whence came tbe mighty propelling power to move such a prodigious mass southward? Mr. G. Daw- i sou, F. G. S., says that during the glacial I epoch a polar ice-cap formed at the north pole which ultimately attained such a vast height that by the sheer force of gravity alone the ico began to spread and move toward the equator, thus taking inconceivably great quantities of rock and mud, miles from their natural quarries and grinding aud crushing them into gravels, sands and clays, thereby forming the raw materia! for soil in regions whore animal and vegetable lift eould exist. Worse Than a Clin,. It was on a suburban train coming into Jersey City. A bald-headed, fussy-looking man, with a pair of spectacles on his nose and his bat on tbe seat beside him, kept rubbing his pate in a nervous way and hitching about on the seat as if he was afraid of tacks. Opposite him sat a man who was closely watching his movements and chuckling and grinning until the attention of a dozen people was attracted. He was finally asked to explain, and he said; "The old chap over there sat down on my bat, stepped on my toes and elbowed my ri I is, and didn't apologize. I determined to get even with him. He always sits in that seat if it isn't occupied, and he always hunts around to find a paper instead of buying one. I'm getting even with hiw this morning." "Bui how?" "That paper is just three years old to-day. It cost me 50 cents to procure it, but I've had $50 worth of revenge. I left it on the seat, and he's been reading it for the last twenty miles. Seef" The old fellow struck tho headlines of a railroad accident, looked puzzled, bobbed up and down, and slowly shook his head. He jumped from that to a murder���on to news from Washington���and for a minute was interested in the stock market. Then ho folded the paper up. removed his glasses, and looked out of the window with a troubled expression on his face. "He's wondering if his mind isn't giving way, and is half scared to death!" chuckled the joker. "Been flattering himself that he is good for twenty years yet, and the first thing he does when he gets to the city will be to buy some brain food and a liver pad. I'm uot a bad, bad man, but the chap who sits down on my hat must at least apologize." Just a Plain Sailor. A sea captain, who was going up to Albany to see his friends, came out with us on the train, and a Chicago broker, who first discerned his presence, gave the boys the wink, and followed it up by sayiug: "If we work it right we can get some awful lies out of him. Let some one ask hi.n about sharks and sea serpents." Four of us crowded him into a smoking compartment, and wheu we hud become slightly acquainted the inquiry was made: "Captain, you have doubtless seen soma very large whales? How long would yon say the largest was?" . "Gentlemen, I never saw a whale in my |lfe," he replied. "I have been at sea for twenty-six years, but I never happened to see a whale." "Well, you have seen serpents in the warm seas?" "Never saw one there." "But you must have seen some extra large sharks?" "Gentlemen, I hope you will believe me when I tell you that I never saw a shark ex- oept in au aquarium." "But you have been wrecked?" "Never." "Ever have a mutinyI" "No." "Fire at sea?" "No." "Meet with a pirate!" "No." " Tidal wave?" "No." "Humph! What sort of a sailor are you, any way!" "I'm sorry for you, gentlemen, very sorry, but the fact is I am only a plain, ���very-day sailor, and my mother made me take a vow when I first went to sea that I would always speak the truth. Here are some good nickel cigars for you, but as for lying, I can't do it���not even about sea sec- ���enta." "A, Good as Bronie. Manufacturers of statuettes and other articles made of porcelain have been experimenting for a long time in the direction of a process to cover porcelain articles with ��� deposit of copper. No successful industrial process has beeu discovered until recently, a Vienna chemist solving the vexed problem. The process is as yet a secret, but it is stated that one of the coal tar products is first used to fiil the pores of the porcelain biscuit, thus preventing the crystallization which has heretofore character.zed oilier processes. This treatment is followed by the processes of elec.no deposition now ia vogue. The results are said to be very remark' able, the articles being difficult to distinguish from bronzes.

The Ruthlessneas of Women. The judgments which man passes upon his fellows are tolerant where woman's are narrow, because, instead of the one aspect of the question which she perceives, he sees many; they are merciful where hers are cruel, because he recognises more fully the stress of temptation and the complexity of motive which lead to transgression. There have been a few women who have helped their weaker sisters to rise when they had fallen, but they are iudeed few. The majority of women have done what they could to keep those who are down still in that position. They have refused to believe in the possibility of reform; they have withdrawn from all contact with those who have once found temptation greater than they could bear; they have, by their inflexible attitude, made ��� return to virtue nearly impossible on the part qf those who have once turned from It. Who should be tenderer toward a woman's sin' than a virtuous woman, and who is harder? Oyou queens, who have with your virtuous hands thrust your weaker sisters ���till further in the mire; who have shown aversion where you might have shown mercy; who have hardened your hearts, that should have been soft with pity; who have turner! coldly aside from those, your sisters, whom jrou might have saved, and gone your ways as though these were not; Oyou who have lifted from your heads the crown of gentleness and mercy that all your sex should wear, are you not "ruthless" indeed ?���Oscar Fay Adams in North American Review iir Nov embar.
