In recent tests en forty persons, one part of saliuine was tasted in 12,0.00 parts of wator; of morphine, one in. 14,000; quinine, one in 76,- 000; ijiiassino, one in 110,000; picro- toxine, one in 197,000; rrloiim, one in 210,000; and strychnine, ono in 828,000. Twelve tasters detected one part of strychnine in 1,280,000. WoiiF-Rkaked Ciin.iiHKX.—From an old Knglish pamphlet, printed in , 18fi2, an extraordinary record of case3 of oinldren said to have been nurtured liy wolves has been republished recently. In one instance, in 1S47, a boy was seen in India with the three whelps of a female • wolf, and was captured with some difficulty. He ran on all fours ns rapidly as the whelps, ate raw meat from the ground like a dog, rejected cooked meat with disgust, shunned human beings, expressed his wants by a few signs, and seemed to care for nothing but eating. He died in 1850. Intellectual Influence of the Nose.—Aprosexio is the name Dr. Guye, of Amsterdam, choses for in- attentivencss, and he quite singularly finds that the nose is a cause of it. • A dull boy became quick to learn after certain tumors had been taken from the nose; und a man who had been troubled with vertigo and buzzing in tbe ears for twelve years found mental labor easy after a like operation. In a third case a medical student was similarly relieved. Dr. Guye supposes that these nasal troubles affect the brain by preventing tho cerebral lymph from circula ting freely. The GuEATESTGATAUACTs.--From the latest information, it appears that the three Krimbs Falls, in the Upper Prinzsan, with a total height of 1148 *VH>etfnsWfotlib Wgh** known wateifall. Next in height come three Scandinavian falls, of 984, 853 and 804 feet respectively; and theso are followed by about a half-dozen falls ranging from 591 feet down to 400. Taking width into consideration, the Victoria Falls of the Zambezi, 394 high and 8200 feet wide, are the most imposing, making the Niagara Falls, 177 feet high and 1968 feet wide, seem quite insignificant in size, A Dceam of Infinity.—"If we could double the space-penetrating power of our telescopes," speculates Proctor, "we should probably much more than double, wo should increase manifold, the number of stars—that is of suns—which would be brought within our ken. Not thousands of millions, but probably millions' of millions, of suns exist within the limits of the sidereal system. Hithrr —I ought to say—they exist within the limits of our sidereal system, for doubtless this system is no more to be regarded ns single within the universe than our solar system is unique within the star depths. Every star tells us of a sun, nnd probably of a olar system, in such sort that we must recognize ihiuis and of millions of solar systems in the galuxy. May we not fairly assume, then, thut in like manner our sidereal system is repented millions of millions of times within some system of n higher order 1 That system may be in turn repeated many millions of times wii bin a system of a higher ordor. And so on, to higher and higher orders, absolutely without end." A Wowan's Puonicr.—If expectations aro fully realized, the material devised by Mrs. Wood, a clever English lady, will become a remarkably useful substance. It is known as "woodite,1' and its chief ingredient is caoutchouc. During tho past few months it has given good results for a variety of purposes, and is now declared to bo especially adapted to many other uses. Ac cording to Sir Edward Beed, M. P., it has beon produced in diverse forms, such as fine sheets and ribbons for waterproof articles, dense blocks for resisting the blows of shot or shell, and particularly satisfactory rings for engine packing. One process converts it into an elastic, sponge liko substance; nud another, in which it is mixed with whalebone cuttings, gives it a rough or frictioiial quality fur nints. Home curious navril applications have been worked ouf-. It ia undo into armor plates which on being penetrated by a shut irliisi* so tightly that no water is iiiliiiiltird, mul it is also formed in to li.^ht mid convenient cylinders for carrying compressed air to drive lifeboats, torpedo boats and scout bouts, whili' it is iiuiUMe for niak- ing llnuting or partly,floating cables for protection ngain.-H torpedo at- iftcka, it.*.

Abbott, the leader of the government, in reply to Dr. Mclnnes, announced that the government had located the British Columbia cxpcrimeiiUl farm at Agiittiz. The fisheries debate vas resumed in the house of commons to-day. Hon. A. O. Jones (Halifax), attacking the treaty, declared it a surrender of Canadian interests. He was followed by Mr. "-. E. Kenny (Halifax), who characterized the settlement reached at Washington as a just and honorable one. He thought it would settle a long-standing dispute. It was specially to tho Advantage of Nova Scotia. General Laurie spoke next in a similar strain. The Hon. Peter Mitchell followed, bitterly attacking tho government for what he alleged was a surrender. ANOTHER OPERATION. Berlin, April 13.—A now cannula was placed in the throat of the emperor to-dny, without causing him any pain. No operation was necessary. The emperor passed a good night, and at 7.30 this morning arose, and later received Minister Von Puttkamor and others who made verbal reports. At noon the emperor and empress drove to Berlin in a closed carriage and visited the palace. Princess Victoria followed in an open carriage. The royal party returned to Charlotten by way of the Lissistirdeo, tho old castle, and alohg tho Untor den Lin- den. The emperor appeared a little paler than usual, but otherwise looked well. THE EO0K2Y SCHEME. Washinoton, April 13.—By o vote of 5 to i the house committee on the merchant, marine and fisheries, to-day authorized an adverse report to be made ou the Cummings bill, whicli proposed to pay a bounty of 30 cents per registered ton for each: 10C3 miles sailed to all vessels built and owned in the United States and en^aaed in foreign trado. A favorable report was authorized to be made on i)unn's Bhip. bill with an amendment providing that no foreign built vessels shall hn pure-lniscd for coast-wise trade. The republican members will submit a minority report against the measure. VIGOItOCS OPPOSITION. London, Apl. 13.*—-Henceforth the liberals may be expected to vigorously oppose all proposals of the government for doing or contemplating anything with respect to the government of Ireland, or any homo legislation raising tho question of England's preference b tho Emerald Isle in the matter of local supremacy. To-day's meeting of the National Liberal Club was a meeting for a deliberate movement to spur Mr. Gladstone and other leaders of the home rule liberal party to an uncompromising tight against the progress of the local government bill, and to in spire the rank and filo with ardor for the tight against tho sub-budget, section by section. A pacific attitude toward the government by no means suits the Irish, and is quite as distasteful to tho radicals, this feeling boing intensified by the gruwing cer- t'linty that the local government bill was intended to deceive the homo rulers, und to propitiate the newly enfranchised Enulish elector.**-. In the houae of commons this evening Mr. Gnschen, tho chancellor of tho exchequer, announced that the total amount of consols converted up to this lime wus £473,900.009, leaving £85,CD0,000 yet to be converted, most of which were in the hands of trustees but for the conversion of which there was atill time remaining for applications. Mr. W. H. Smith moved to give precedence to the county b'll over private in-amburs' bills, which motion, after some discussion, waa adopted by a voto of 243 to 143. THIS aiOKMXU'S IIKSI'ATCIIK . 8T. PAU, n-ooDitp. OlUOAGO, April 14.—A despatch from St. Paul this morning says: The westorn part oi tho city is almost entirely submerged, a nd, although some hooBC have (looted away and othen have boon wrccltrtl ihero are no reports «*f lows of life. All railroads are in trouble. Sevoral towns in Root Valloy havo beon cut off from iho out* sido world for ton dnys. Twenty miles of the Green buy railroad in under water. The upper putt of (jcpnto, Wisconsin, is entirely flooded, ami a numr ber of btidgea hnvo boen swept away iu thnt s ctiun. A HEAVY 1UNKOM. Key West, April 14. — Antonio Golindoz, tho wealthy sugar planter, who was kidnapped 1-ist Saturday by Manual G.ireins' kind, while on the Srnitu Hi to planiatinn, has beon set ftt liberty ou thu payment of tho r-tiiBom of 840,000. lie days ho was subjected to terriblo treatment, and almost starved ti death. The outlaws would uot lot him cat or drink until they got tho money. Troops have captured seven of the band, uno of which hns made a full confession. Troops nro after tho Other*. A special from Havana sayj tlmt Mem .lohn, tho famous bandit aud kidnnppor, was tfhot and killed near Matiin&is while resisting capture. A OANNON EXPLODES. Havana, Ap. 14 —A cannon exploded on tho Spanish at earner Panama, last night, killing oue person and fearfully mutilat'tig four others. SDNK BY A COLLISION. London, April 14.—The Norwegian bark Norma, Capt. Thorson, from Savannah, for Rotterdam, was sunk in the channel last evening in collision with tho steamer Bremeua. The latter was badly damaged. EARTHQUAKE. Wadsworth, Nev., April 14. —A Blight shock of earthquake was experienced here to-day. BOSTON WANTS THBC. P.R. Boston, April 14.— The Globe this morning says that the New England merchants will fight the measure pending before congress to charge duties on all matter coming into the U. S. via Canadian lines. By the Canadian Pacific grain can reach Boston from St. Paul in eight, and sometimes five days, while by way of Chicago' it takes *»n weeks. Boston money will, therefore, come to the rescue, and a lively fight will ensue. SNUBRINO BISUARCK. London, April 14.—The Times says: " It is reported that the Prince Regent of Bavaria intendends making Alexander commander of the second Bavarian army corps, and at the same time give him a high position as a mark of tbe feeling by that German sovereign that royalty ought not to be bullied by ministers, even if they happen to be Bismarck's." DR. MCKENZIE INTERVIEWED. New York, April 14.—A Berlin cable reports a hopeful conversation with Dr. McKenzie about the emperor. He says he is not at all certain that tho disease is cancer. Ho never aaid so, and thoso who do are surgeons not versod in throat diseases. He thought that if the emperor had stayed at San Remo he would have been far advanced in recovery, and that ho will now live longer than was thought possible. LEAGUE MEE'TOGS TO-MORROW. Dublin, April H.—The ParnelHte members of parliament have caused to be distributed throughout country Clare, placards urging the men of Clare to assert their rights and assemble in thousands to attend the meetings to be held on Sunday. THIS AFTERNOON'S DESPATCHES. EJECTION CASE DECIDED. Washington, Ap. 14.—By a unanimous voce to-day the house committee on elections decided the contested election c-se of Nathan Frank vs. John M. Glover, in the ninth Missouri district, in favor of Glover, the sitting member. ENGLISH RACES. London, April 14. — Tlie grand international steeple chases, ran at Sandown park to-day, was won by Ballot Cox. The grand national hunt steeple chase was won by Glentnorpe, and the Princess o! Wales' handicap was won by Semanus. CONCKLINO'S CONDITION.

It is not possible, to estimate tho benefits that will come to Canada from the abandonment of this monopoly, and if it had been found necessary to pay a round sum of millions to secure such a boon, wo think the expenditure would hu ve been fully justified. Not only Manitoba and the west will experience the benefits of this change, but its influence will extend over the | whole of Canada. With a million people cultivating the soil of the northwest, the manufacturing industries of the east would find a very largely increased demand for their produots, and British Columbia lumber, fish and fruit would be very eagerly sought for, and our market in that direction would grow into vast proportions.

L Broe, of Alder Grove, and his nephew have gone into the hop business. They have planted out about 12 acres of vines, and expect this season to have quite a lot of hops for the market. The Messrs. Broe are likewise preparing to cultivate cranberries. They ore putting in half an acre of cranberry vines for the present, and if the result of tho experiment is satisfactory, they will considerably enlarge the area. There is, apparently, not a large market for hops in this country, but there is always a steady demand in the east and in England. It is not unlikely, too, that a market mayjlie found across the Pacific, and that hops will be shipped from this province by the China steamers. With respect to cranberries, tho demand seems to be always greater than the supply, and no difficulty need be experienced in finding a good market for them. We are glad to see these two experiments going on. Hop- growing need not be called an experiment, for hops have been grown in this province for years in a small way, and there is no question about the success of the crop. The question of market is really the only one. We have long been of opinion that the cultivation of cranberrica- could be made very profitable. Thero are quite a number of places in this province admirably adapted for the growth of this fruit, We are favored with an abundant supply of pure water, and there are beaver meadows and macklands in many sections, contaguous to running streams, which afford facilities for periodically flooding the.grounds. We expeot to see tbe venture succeed, and we doubt not but its success will lead to other ventures of a similar kind, and a substantial addition to the available resources of the country. The indications are that this country will become a great fruit-growing country, and that as such it will rapidly increase in wealth. Nearly the whole of Thursday's session of the legislature was occupied by the members pitching into each other. The leader of the opposition seems to have been the objective point at which nearly all the assaults were made, and he does seem to make himself anything but agreeable. Ever since the little unpleasantness that occurred in the " members' room " a few days ago, Mr. Beaven has worn the appearance of a man who knows he has put his foot in it. That his conduct on that occasion was entirely unjustifiable every person must admit, and the fact is very unfortunate. Mr. Beaven is by far the ablest member of the opposition party. His long experience and large acquaintance with parliamentary procedure might be made valuable to the house, and hitherto he has enjoyed a large ineas ure ot public respect. But the shades of opposition do not seem favorable to the growth of proper sentiment—that is, the kind of opposition in which Mr. Beaven is associated, lt has, apparently, soured his disposition, and made him uncomfortable. He has become a chronic fault-finder, and this disposition seriously unfits him for the proper discharge of the responsible duties which fall to the leader of a political party. It cannot be said that the discussion on Thursday was such as to increase public confidence in the wisdom of the assembly. Where the atmosphere is heavy it may sometimes become necessary to have it cleared by a convulsion of nature; and, perhaps, the discussion of Thursday will Work out a similar end, and leave the political atmosphere better suited to the serious and responsible duties yet to be performed. It is to be hoped so, anil that the leader of the opposition | especially may carry with him j through thia session at least the Ies- sons of the event There is considerable work yet on hand, and the session has already become almost tedious, Ten Der Fo.

Heintzelkoffer, Tbe Fruits orclder-Drlnklng, A missionary of former days said to tho writer: *' Many years ago I tet out to labor for Christ in Indiana. A friend, who had boen a long resident, was with me to give me suoh information as might he necessary. I remarked that the land around us was low and of a very poor quality. "True, said he, but wait a little, and I will show you as handsome a prairie as our Heavenly Father ever made. We rode on, and gradually the land spread out before us rich in its soil and carpet of verdure, most inviting to tho eye. "Do you see that brick house yonder?" "Yes.' "Well, the owner living in it has had two sons hung. You behold that stone house?' "Certainly.' "The builder and resident of it has two sons in the state-prison. The resident of that housa to the left has had a son hung. Further on, do you see that grove, and that house pretty well set bnek ?'' "Yes. I can see it distinctly.' "The man living there has had a son Jmng.' "The facts stated led mo to ask my friend, How eamo these things to happen? The record is as black at any I ever heard. Do give me the needed explanation.' "1 will do so in brief. When I sot- tied on the other tide of the marsh, these people settled here. The land proved very productive. They cultivated corn, wheat, oats, and planted orchards. The markets paid good prices. They soon came to be wealthy. "The grain marketed in the fall left them little to do in the winter; so they gave themselves up to dissipation. They built neither a church nor a school-house. Their children grew up idle, ignorant, and vicious. Their apples were turned into cider; and their winter evenings were given up to conviviality. " Soon elder was uot strong enough, and other intoxicants came into use. They had frequent parties, and those parties meant dancing; and the dancing meant drinking; and the drinking meant drunken revelry: the drunken revelry a fight; and Ihe light meant, too oftrn, a murder. These are but the outlines. 1 need not enlarge upon the particulars.'" MitWij^tXf&^^lrf^ navy. A boy signed the temperance pledge. His mother said, "bring the brandy; I want Bome for thete pies." Davy obeyed. But as he went the thought occurred to him, "Can I, a temperance boy, cany a brandy jug?" Hurrying back to the kitchen he said, "Mamma, I can't bring that brandy jug—I've signed the pledge ; bat I'll stir the batter while you go." Without a word the mother gave into his little hands the spnon, and went herself to bring the jug. When she came down the deaf little fellow was beating away at the dough. His eyes followed her as she went to the sink and began to empty out the contents of the jug. "What are you doing, mamma?" "Im' emptying out the brandy. We'll not have any more in our minco pies." "Oh, mamma! I'm so glad! Then I can eat them too, can't I, mamma?" "Yes, my dear; and mamma will never make anything again that her dear boy cannot eat. "Oh, I'm so glad we're going tohavo temperance pies!" Davy fairly danced up and down the kitchen as the brandy gurgled in the sink. Don't you think Davy is a real good temperance boy? Then fellow his example. Touch not, taste not, handle not the unclean thing.— Union Advocate. Tke t'hureli and Rflflk.

He reached tho stream—the Ainers, with all their belongings had dopier I, and tho thought that then tilled Is lialf-dazcd braiu waa that his friends rd been murdered. His cheek paled, rl, leaping over the atream, ho ran to ie house and burst through the door, ie stood appalled at the scene that met ia eyes. There on the floor, bound hand id foot, Uy Murietta, Tho light of ason aeemed to have left his eyes, 'iich stared and rolled like a demon's, am was on hia lips, and front his roat came incoherent, choking sounds, ' lie hia body writhed like a serpent, a ling quickly over tho man, Wilson It the ropes. As they fell .Murietta aped to his leet with n cry of agony, ,ch as Dante alone could describe. He rhed into the bodroom, uud there lay wife apparently dead; her clothing torn from her person, and her pallid told of the awful experience through hich ahe had passed. Murietta threw imself beside her on tho bed, and clasp- |g ber to hla breast, cried out: ".Mi lierida, mi quorida," (iny darling, my hrling). Wileon stood faint with hor- Ir at the scene, and could not suppress ■chill at hia hurt as the frantic bus- nnd now paced up and down the room, ■most shrieking, "I will kill them I I pll kill them I" Again and again would Jo rush into the bedroom wilh endear- Ig expressions, and then piuro liko a kvngo animal up and down tho floor of le other room. Wilson realized thnt it lould be no uso to endeavor- to pacify me man. Ho had sull'ered un hour of ■error that had bmnoi! deeply into his ■ml. Ha had witnessed that which had lianged his whole nature and hlustud lis whole Ufa. Wilson at length went I tho bedside whero lay the almost Erltsh figure. Ho detected signs of life, rail took auch means aa were ut hand to kvive her. Ho was successful. Her lushand took her in hla arms aa if she were a littlo baby, nud carrie 1 her to Ind fro, covering her face with kisses. lefore nightfall Murietta hud boeorne bore calm outwardly, but Wilson could bo by hia eyea that a tiger, thirsting for Rood, lurked in the man's soul. (!ar- lielita was taken to .Sonora, and there ■laced with a friend, and a physi inn Tiiiirioned. Sho was iU a long timo, hut ■covered. J Murietta disappeared. A wook niter- Inr.l Wilson learned (hat two men had ten killed near Columbia. Within threo leeks three more woro murdered. Tho Icxican'a revengo was complete. He prl nvonged the oiitrugo that'had blast- 1 his llio, and was an outlaw. Mont* C.nlii Victims.; L'i'he Monte Carlo people will do any- Ring to avoid scan lal. Al a rule this | the process.

Ayer's SarsapariUa has prevented the usual course of Boils, which have pained and distressed me evory season for several years.—Ga Scales, Plolnville, Mich. I was badly troubled with Pimples on the face: also with a discoloration of the skin, whioh showed Itself in ugly dark patches. No external treatment did more than temporary good. Ayer's Sar- laporilla effected A Perfect Cure. ind I have not beon troubled since.— r. W. Boddy, River st., Lowell, Mass. I was troubled with Boils, and my health wob much impaired. I began using Ayer's SarsapariUa, and, In due time, the eruptions all disappeared, and my health was completely restored.— John R. Elkins, Editor Stanley Observer, Albemarle, N. 0.

A short timo ago Mr. Howison, on whose property the slide occurred, sont a sample of the wnter to a analytical chemist iu the east, for the purpose of ascertaining its medical properties.

As in Germany tho monarch is the supremo leader of the state, the family connections of tho dynasty can never be without importance, nnd for this reason, especially, the creation of a dynastic alliance must not bo contemplated which, in the present situation of Europe, would embarass that Gorman polioy for the support of which the Roichstug has just granted 700,- 000 men and 300,000,000 marks.
