Bourne and Fraser last Saturday which the magistrates wish to be brought before public Dotice, About dusk the previous evening a tramp unhung a Mackinaw shirt whioh was displayed outside H. N. Coursier's Store and walked off witb it. He Offered it for sale at tbe Stockholm House, but Mr. Stone would not bdy it, suspecting the man had not got it honestly, After the tramp had left Mr. Stone remembered he bad seen similar shirts outside Coursier's, and informed Mr. Conrsier of the occurrence. About half an hour later Mr. C, while at the post-office disoovered the shirt tucked under the arm of a Well-known citizen. A few questions elicited tbe fact that the shirt had been purchased by its latest possessor for less tbau half its value. The magistrates, in sentencing tho prisoner to 30 days' bard labor, strongly condemned the action of the citizen in buying a new article from a stranger at what be must bave known to be far below its value, and stated tbat if ever such a case came before them again tbey would punisb the receiver u well as tbe thief, as tbe law holds him equally guilty, -�����"'" ��i . i .

Snv-Mr. Kirkup, at the meeting on Monday trigbt, eudeHVorcd to lead thoso present to believe that I held |80 beloncifig to the Library Aseo- eiatkffl, Tbis is entirely misleading. Tbe money is the surplus of tbe sun subscribed by all classes of citizens tor the* celebration of tbe Queen's Birthday, and a number of subscribers bave intimated to me that they would decidedly object to its being used for library purposes. Mr. Kirkup -mid the ewnmittw bed ordered W to band the money over to the library. That is not true. There were ewht gentlemen on tiie CT*morittee, and only two of them (both members of tbe Library AsfwcUtioi^ have ever told mo tbey wished tbe awney to go to the library. Thar* were other members of the comitfittee who thought a portion of the money should be devoted to purchasing a national flag for the sefawlhouse. Mr. Kirkup was not a ���aoetobet of the committee, but Ive ia the betal of the Library Association. Bi interference in tbe matter may be eansed by �� desire to get this small plnm for the library, but it is unwarranted nevertheless, and I fail to sew by what right he made such a false statement in a public meeting Unite* tor tbe purpose of making me feel small,.*' Moreover, tbe sum in my hands is not $30, but only $18, and I certainly sball not hand the money over to the Library Association without the full consent of the committee of eight. Tl�� til-rsr** is no doubt a , nice place for certain of the so-called elite of the town te go, snd read tlie daily papers on tbe ehetip, bnt there are institutions in this town more deserving of aid than the Kbrary���the fire Brigade, for instance.���Yours truly,.

An old resident says tbe steamboats will not be able to ply on tbe river for two months after this ice clears off next spring, on account of townees of water, Never witbin living memory bu the river been so low at this season, and until tha suow melts there will be no rise. The weather bas been extremely severe the put week, tbe avenge of frnst recorded being 22 degrees, or only 10 above zero. Added to tbis bu been a disagreeable northern breeze, which out the skin like a knife and whirled the powdered snow like clouds of white dust. Mr. W. J.

McGillivray, the well known contraotor.arrived here from Vanoouver on Wednesday aod will go over the Revelstoke and Arrow Lake Railway, wbieh is completed as far as the Green Slide. He will continue traffic this winter by means of 25 or 80 two-horse sleighs between tho end of tbe line and Bannock Point on Arrow Lake. The Ottawa Journal says of Sara Lord Bailey : "As pretty as a picture; as graceful u a Grecian goddess. Her selections bad a charm of freshness, and in her rendition there was a sweetness of tone and appreciation of the subject tbat won ber deserved plaudits." Miss Bailey will give a ohoioe selection of recitals in tbe Methodist ohurch on Friday, December 16, Sea advt. Tom Home came up from the Lardeau oo Tuesday. Ha used a hoat as far as Cariboo Bar. about nine miles this side of Hall's Landing, at which poiut the river waa blocked by a big snow jam. From Cariboo Bar he walked the distance here, getting on tbe B. k L. A, traok at the Green Slide, to which point tbe raila are laid. The Lardean will remain an unvisited country until spring. Mrs. Anna Harris, the distinguished lecturer of tbe Grand Lodge, I.O.G.T., gave addresses in the Methodist church on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The subject was ''Temperance Reform" and the lady bandied tha aubjeet in a very skilful manner. A fair-sized audience attended in spite of tbe inclement weather, Mrs. Harris will address the' congregation in the Methodist Churoh to-morrow. Tbe Firemu's Ball at Donald hut Tuesday night waa a first claw event, and wu very largely attended. Dancing commenced at nine p.m. and was kept hp till 4:80 a.m., with aa interval at midnight for supper. Mr. Dan Alton was floor manager and the mnsie wu supplied by Messrs. J. F. Ablin of Bevelstoke, and A. E. Kincaid of Thomson's Landing. Donald still keepa the lead in the matter of social gatherings. The Bevelstoke A Arrow Lake Bail- way is now in rnnoing order u far as tbe Green Slide, and the extension to tbe Wigwam will be completed inside of two months if all's well. The station agent here ies been sending freight over tbe new line for some time put, and will probably continue to do so all winter, sleighs being used from the end of the track to deep water on the Arrow Lake. About 200 tons of freight are still awaiting shipment to the lower country. A meeting of the Douglas Street committee wu held at the Central Hotel oo Wednesday night. About $40 more are needed to pay off all indebtedness for work done, and it was decided to osll on those gentlemen wbo had not sab* scribed and see if they conld not.be indneed to contribute something towards snob a great improvement to the appearance of the town u the opening up of Donglu Street bu been. Nothing more can be done until spring, when an effort will made to complete tbe work. II tbe Government intends repairing the Big Bend trail next summer the crossing at the head of Donglu Street will be a certainty. The committee will issne a balance-sheet shortly. Messrs. T. M. Sutherland and Bobt. Tapping bad a lively hunting experience on Wednesday in the busn near the mouth of the Iileoillewaet. They came across the wild steer that escaped from Hull Bros,' herd about a month ago. The animal wu quite savage and turned on bis pursuers. "Johnny" Sutherland, who was loading wood on a sleigh, waa startled at finding the steer charging bim from behind and hastily climbed on top of the load of legs, which the infuriated animal began to scatter in all directions. Before anyone got hurt, however, the steer wu brought down by shots from the rifles of Messrs. Tapping and T. M. Sutherland. The carcase was loaded on tbe sleigh and brought to town. ������, .��.���- , Struck a Rock. The steamer Iileoillewaet, whioh left here on Thursday week, fe> now lying on the beicb abont midway between the Green Slide aad the Wigwam. She had a hole knocked in her bottom forwent by atrikkg a tocb owing to the lowuess of tbe water in tbe river, it be* ing lower than ever known beforo at this time of the year. Tbe freight, consisting mostly of flour aud meal, was taken oot uninjured, the men carrying Ihe sacks having to wade about 60 feet to shore tbronph three feet of water. Tbe steamer bas sinoe been hauled on tbe beach, and will be thoroughly repaired where she lies. This puts an end to rirer navigation this season. Capt. Troop in the steamer Lytton came up as far as Cariboo Bar last week and bad to turn back. He saya be will not again attempt to enter the rirer ibis year. Traffic will be carried on between Bevelstoke and Nakusp and NewDeuver by means of tbe Bevelstoke A Arrow Lake Railway as far as the Wigwam, where sleighs will lie used to the head of Arrow Lake. Tbe sleigh route will cross the river at tbe Wigwam, passing through the settlement at Hall's Landing, on to Bannock Poiut, where tbe water is deep and never freezes. Tbe boat will probably mo from Nakusp to tbis point all winter, sn that mails and passengers oan reach tbe lower country. But tbe greatest misfortune is tbat tbe rails for the Nakusp A Slocau road can not be carried by this route, and the tracklaying between Nakusp and New Denver will be at a standstill till spring. Had tbe work on both railroads been oommenoed earlier in tbe anmmer they would bave been in running order by thia time. LARDEAU NOTES. [mom oun own oobbsspondj-wtJ Thomsok's Landing, Nor. 20th. It is a long time siuee I sent you any news from this section, and Ibe last budget I sent yon got mislaid somehow and was never published. However, your correspondents at Lardeau City snd Trout Lake kept you pretty well enpplied with newa all summer, but as they seem to be very quiet of late probably it is my turn to do something. Messrs Greenlee and Bunfiuld came in lut Friday from the Black Prince. They report tbe olaim looking better u depth is attained. Tbey intend to ship about 1,000 tone next summer. The owners of tbe Silver Cnp have tbeir winter's snppliss up at the mine, and will commence taking out on for shipment after Christmas. Messrs, F. C. Campbell and Fred Johnston have been carrying on development work on their claims, the "Bad- shot" and "No. 25." These olaims are on the mum lead u ths now famous "Black Prince" and show a eom-idarebi* body oi the Mme character, assaying from 8250 to (1100. They will ship on next summer. They have elosed down work on tbeir claims and 1stt Thomson's Landing for Nelson. Tbey, u well as others, were anxious to see Mr. Kellie lo urge npon him the importance of having a wsgon road built from Thomson's Landing to Trout Lake, and having the work commenced aa early io Ihe spring u possible, so that it will be of some use next summer. Tbe present trail ie perfectly worthless for the shipment of ore. What is required for that purpose is a wagon road from Tront Lake to Thomson's, continued on to ihe deep wster below Kiooaid's; and good branch trails for rawbidiog ore to the main road. Now that some five or six of our claims have reached the shipping point better roads are a necessity. The stores at Thomson's and Tront Lake are pretty well stocked witb provisions, so that it will not be necessary to make trips to Bevelstoke tbis winter. Mr. B. F. Barney got into Jack Stau- ber'a cariboo corrall lut Friday and shot a floe young oariboo which will dress about *200lbs. The carcase was brought into Thomson's Landing wbsre it will be need to enrich the Thomaonian soup pot. We have fine hard weather here, with abont two inobes of the beautiful oa tbe ground, . Mr. Beaton, as soos as tbe weather gets a little milder, will leave witb 7 horses lor Trout Lake.' He hu |o wait for a soft day, as most of tbe load will be I'Otatoes for Messrs C. B. Hume k Co. A petition praying for the construction of a wagon road from the bead of the Arm to Ttout Lake ia in oirenlalion and we trust all those interested will sign it. Stoppod by an Ice Jam. J. T. Nault and party, who left here lut Thursday week with a mow load of provisions for Nakusp, met with rather hard luck a few miles down river. Their progreM wu stayed several times hy small ice jams, but tbey managed to get along notil lhey reached the Green Slide, where a bridge of snow ami ice about a quarter of a mile wide bad formed at tbe elbow where tbe river takes a sharp turn wutbward. Tbey oould go no further, so they got the mow ashore a liltle this side the rook bluff, where she is now, and where, in all likelihood, she will remain till next spring. She is not thc least damaged, and in ail tbe knooking about never shipped a drop of wster. It possible Mr. Nault will have tbe freight taken on the B. A A. L. Bailway m far as the tnmksgo, and from thoro to Baoeeek Point, at the head of Arrow Lake, hy sfoigbs. If he cannot make tbis arrangement with tbe railway sompsvy he will brisg his own- sleighs and teams fn* Naknsp and do the work himself, m the* provisions must reach Nakuap somehow. There were also on board the mow Mr. F. Bourne of Naknsp, E. Adair, Wm.- Mackenzie, T. Reid, W. Kinman and others, who were taking down supplies1 for Hall's Landing. Messrs. Bonrn��r Adsir aud Kinman returned to town on Monday. As tbe frost wss severe for several nights Mr. Adair thought bo could portage his canoe over the ice jams further down and left on Thursday to sm if be conld gel home witb tbe greater portion of his effects. A cooking stovs be will leave behind in Ibe scow. Messrs Reid snd Mackenzie did not come back and it ie believed go* through all right. -. aaa Meeting af the Fire Brigade aad Library Association. A largely attended meeting of ths* members of the Bevelstoke Library Aa* aociation and Fire Brigade wm held irr- Mr. A. H. Holdich's office on Monday evening last, the object being to diieni* the project of either utilizing tbe existing engine house for library purposes, or of arriving at Mme other arrangement whiob abonld be (o the mutual benefit of both societies. Chkf W. M. Brown took the chair, and Mr. F. B, Wells, the secretary, performed tbe duties usually pertaining to* bis office. Tbe oaestion wu fully diMussed, and it wu decided lhat at present any union between tbe two societies would be difficult if nol impossible to effect; but*- that the members of the library committee wonld meet and farther consider the mailer from Iheir point of view, Tbis diMUMioa narrowed Ihe subject to tbe belter bouMiug of the Chemical' Engine, as tbe present quarters ue utterly incapable nf affording protection against frost ;aad it wm finally arranged that a small committee sbould get estimates for a new engine houM and proceed at onw with its erection. The* Loom will bc about 30 feet long by IS- wide and be situated between Coursier's store aod Ibe Stockholm House, od. Front street. The reason for building euoh a large room being to enable tber Fire Brigade to bave a convenient place** of meeting without trespassing on the* kindness of private citizens. Tbe cost of material is expected to be abont IMfls and the labor will be given freely by Mr. Haskins and other members ai the- Fire Brigade. The nfocuds ef tarn mm annual bail (we nth'L) will be i to tbis object. BRITISH COLUMBIA SOUTHIBK BAIlWAl COMPART.

Now, only do toll!" ex- llaimi Mrs. Bradshaw Woollffe, in iho lolenin conclave of a feminine gathering at the commencement of iho London season. " Vou ought to know, Mrs. Douglas, Is yonr daughter really going to marry Keith Athelstone'after all?" " Afterall I" echoes Mrs. Douglas, sharply. " All whal ���;" " Well, I guess you know pretty well what people said two seasons ago. liut to think things should turn outlike this���quite a romance ! My���only to ihink of it 1" ''It is not so unnatural," says Mrs. Douglas, loftily. " Mr. Athelstono was always deeply attached to my daughter, and, in fact, came home from America with tho intention of proposing. Hut ho was just too late. My dear girl had accepted Sir Franois Vavasour." " Is that so ? Well, I've heard another shaped tale about that. Anyhow, it steins Sir FranoiB was a briito to hor, and she- well anyone who knows Lauraine, knows she's got real downright good stuff In her ; and as for Vavasour���iBn't thore one of your national poets says: ' Nothing in his life beoamo him like his leaving it'? That's just al "ill his BOFl for an epitaph, I should sty. No offence, I hope, Airs. Douglas, though hc was your s m-in-law, Vou know 1 always speak my mind right plump out, There's no nonsense about tne. ' " 1 am not the least oll'endod," says ,Vrs. Douglas, sweetly, " All men have faults, and Sir Franois Vavasour was certainly not na devoted a husband as my dear child had reason to expect. Hut you see she is ralher colli and prudish, and all that, and he���well he had heen spoilt hy society. We must excuse Iiim for being a littlo wild, and really they got on very well together, and nothing could exceed hia kindnesa and generosity to Lauraino, An lhe has left her everything, and quite untrammelled." " And she',i going to marry Keith Athel- stone next fall!" " Well, her husband has been dead nearly a year, and dear Keith is so very delicate sine-) that accident, and he has been ordered to winter at Algiers, and nothing will induce him to go unless Lauraine goes also." "That was a queer thing, too," says Mrs. Bradshaw 15. Woollffe, eagerly. "N'evor could make head or tail of it. That Lady Jean was kind of mixed up in that, Wasn't she?" "Really," says Mrs. Douglas, with her most stately air, "I must decline to say anything about lhat woman. Her conduct has h'.'on quite too disgraceful. Quite." "Her conduct was no better or worse, hai 1 cau see, when her husband was alive," answers Mrs, Woollffe. "Sho was always bad, though, of course, no ono could see it until Joel Salomans had lost all his monoy and blown his brains out. I've never heard a good word of her since." Airs. Douglas looks uncomfortable. " Of course, as long as society is not publicly outraged, as long aa there is some show of decency, it puts up with a great deal; but when anyone is imprudent enough to overstep tho boundary mark, that quite alters the cisc." " Of course," agrees Mrs. Woollffe, with a nniile. " It's only natural to wink at what suits our convenience. I wonder why Lady Jean has never com.; to London again since she married thai foreigner, Count what's his name ?" " Count Karolyski, I don't know, I'm sure, Bul I think it is just as well. No one in her old set could possibly receive licr." " Well, yonr English society heats me !" exclaims Mrs. Bradshaw II. Wooltffu, "Guess you'io tho ruinmost lol of poople on tiie face of creation. What���you're not goini: ''A "Ves, I must. It is Lady Etwynde Carlisle's day, you know : an 1 I want to look iu and hear some later news of my child. She corresponds so oouslanlly with her friend. Ol course, it i, only natural." "Old cat," murmurs Mrs, Woollffe, is the sotiu skirts trail away in the di I ince. " Vou could not blackguard your daug let enough once, and now it's 'har and 'dear Keith.' Ugh! I've no patience with such humbug. Ah, th ire 11 N tn and her husband. Nan. my dear, such sews. Keith Athelstone is going to marry ami whom do yon think?" '��� Lady Vavasour, oi course." answers the y : : Countess of Long! at, tj lietly. " Why you knew !" exclaims Mr'.

Then, for the first limo os v ��� In tin ir married life, .she gave her bus- I i spsoluiun of her tigress tomperj hut then also for the Brat, though not for the laat time, did she learn that she had sold herself into a bondage trom which there was no escape, and, galled, fretted, half broken-hearted, sho found herself compelled, to do llis bidding and accept her present fate. 11 Lauraine had been unhappy too, it would have sweetened the gall and wormwood of her own lot; but that her rival should have peace and happiness, and she herself sink to a life that w.is as dreary as a captive's, was the crowning stab to her many wounds. And yel, burn in auger, chafe in humiliation as sho might, thero was no help for her and no possibility of escade, The violence of her tempestuous ppssions only seemed to amuse him. Tears and reproaches alike beat against tho stony calm nud immovability of his nature, as futile waves may lash a rock that has borne tlieir fury for centuries. Do what she might, net as she pleased, one fact alone showed itself to hor. She was a disappointed and helpless woman, and she was in tho power of a master against whom it was useless to rebel. The long dreary days went by, empty as a rifled grave, oold with tlio chill of an endless despair. Such was her life; such would be her life for all tho futuro now. Her soul might rebel as it would, and her heart grow sick within her as the sullen shadows01 momory dogged her every footstep, but sho was powerless to evade or resent. Her evil deeds had gained now their own reward��� the vengeance alio had planned for another had recoiled on her own head. Aud where arc tho two about whom so muoh gossip is rife, concerning whom so many tongues arc wagging ?" Have tlle sundered lives been joined at last? Has fato done its worst, and, wearied of spite, grown callous now as to what may or may not eii3ue? Two days after Lauraine had left him, Sir Francis Vavasour died. His presentiment had been true, but his saeriliee had, in some way, softened the bitterness of death. Lauraine was smitten with terrible remorse. It seemed to her always as if she should have withstood his wishes and remained by his silo until lbe end. Kven her husband's dying words���the message penned by his band���failed to comfort her, and it took all Lady Ktwynde'sper- suasions, and all Colonel Carlisle's strong common sense, ami all Keith's tender re- proahces to lessen the sharpness of her own sgll'-aceusation���to convince her that her fault, iffault it were, deserved no such harsh condemnation as she feared. A year has passed since freedom came to her���a year so peaceful and so calm that sorrow and pain, and self-accusing seem lulled to rest, and once again Koith whispers of happiness in storo.

" Will you please explain whal has happened ?" quietly asked Mrs. Bowser. "Look at mc I" he hoarsely whispered as hc rose up and extended his arms at full length. "Why, what's wrong ?" " What's wrong ! Look at, the set of this collar���this shirt���this ooat I I'm all hunohod up and humped ovor!

It's no wonder you felt hunched up, as you call it. Let's get your vest off." " I'd liko to know who dared fool with my clothes in this fashion I" growled Mr. Bowser as he wriggled out of his vest. " Look at this I" said Mrs. llowser as she removed a towel from bis shoulder. "I gave you this clean towel as I went down stairs and you throw it over your shoulder and left it there. That was one oi lho humps you felt." " I'll give 810,000 to find the party who played that game on me I" shouted Mr. Bowser, trying to look very fierce, " And you say your shirt hunches up?" "Hunches! Why, the blamed thing has been trying to climb over my head all day, while my collar has almost sawed off my ears." Mrs, Bowser turned him around and opened ids shirt and quietly observed i "Its no wonder I looked tho wholo house over for your night shirt and couldn't tiud it." "Oh! I suppose you have discovered it under my collar button 1" bc replied. A portion of it is. In your hurry you didn't take it off, but put on your day shirt over it." " What !

" But it's there, and no wonder you felt so uncomfortable. 1 don't see how you got your collar around your nook."

" I own n ranch of 14,(100 acres at Knight's Lauding, on the Sacramento��� tiie Volo ranch. I raise a great deal of wheat, and every year as soon as the wheat comes up tho country is overrun with geese. I have seen droves oi them two or three miles long, and so thick that when you shoot into them with a rillo you are bound lo hit some of them, They are so plentiful that 1 nm obliged to hire herders to keep them off. They settlo in great bands. A band will settle down on five acres, say, and you won't hear a quack nor a squawk, hut tho geeso aro there and very industrious, and beforo you know it they have pullod up and eaten every bit of tho grain. They have a skillful way of grasping the tender shoots in tlieir mouths and pulling and relaxing aud pulling again till lhey get tlio swollen grains witli the blades and then eat tho whole. A storm is a!mo3t sure to bring them in largo numbers, hut thoy often como in entirely fair weather. I keep many herders to drive thcni away. If it wero not for this I wouldn't havo any wheat. The mon aro armed with loud-sounding Winchesters and they keep shooting among them all the time, Al night the geeiie don't bother, but early in the morning and all through the day they literally swarm. Tho borders go out very early in the morning and stay all day. Il is a continual battle. The geeso must bo keptgolng all the time or tbo wheal is gone. When tho men aro plowing they got very closo to the geeso. Take fourteen or sixteen teams, each with a big plow that turns four furrows. Thoy come along in a string. The first one is a good way off. Ti e next is a litlle closer, and so on till thu last one is fifty feet or more noarcr than the first one was. The geese don't notieo this and a man can knock them over as ho goes by, I saw ono man tako a monkey- wrench and howl away and kill one. In fact, if anyone wants geese ho may easily kill them hy thousands, and I was almost going to say millions, up there. I have killed them myself many a timo. The annual visitation of the geese at Knight's Landing is not a joke. It is tho sternest kind of reality and means a heavy less if warfare is not kept up against them." 1.1 - ' V 'f A Surge on'a Nero- It is the common belief that a surgeon must possess what is spoken of as an extraordinary good nerve, and ynu may per- I haps doubt if you posses3 this.

Tho following stories culled from various sources indicate the truth of this assertion, and will bo found amusing as well: Delacroix, the painter, was walking out one day in Paris with a friend of bis, wheu he fell into a brown-study. " What is up with you now 1" said the fri��nd. " I can't get a certain shade of yellow," replied the artist. " What sort of yellow?" Just then a cab drove past. "The very thing!" the painter gasped out. "Stop ! Stop !" "I am engaged," the cabby replied, without stopping. Delacroix started in pursuit, and at a steep place in the Rue des Martyrs overtook tlio cab, OpeuiDg tlie door, be said, in tones of entreaty, to tho passenger inside : " Do please tell your driver to stop ; I want your comploxion for ii painting on which I am at work, There is a color-mor- chant oloso at hand. I shall not detain you above five minutes, and in acknowledgment oi thc service yon render me I will present you with a iikctch of my picture." The bargain was struck ; Delacroix got his yellow, and a few months later the " faro " received a sketch of his "Assassination of the Archbishop of Lisge." Another artist, celebrated in his day as a successful painter of portraits, while mak ing a counterfeit presentment of a lady perceived that when lie came to draw the mouth she tried to render it smaller by con. tracting her lips. " Pray do not trouble yourself so much, madam," be oxolamod, "If you like, I will draw your face without any mouth al all. A somewhat eccentric individual was thc I'lemish painter Craaabeck, of whom it is told that once, fearing that his wifo had ceased to lovo him, and anxious to discover if his fears wero foundod on fact, he resolved upon an extraordinary test. He tore his blouse from his chest and painted just nbovo liis heart a vory vivid representation of a wound. Ho then painted his lips and cheeks so that they presented a ghastly aspect, covered liis palette-knife and his garments with spots of red paint, gave a shriek, and fell to the lloor as if dead. The test was successful. Madamo Craasbcck, bearing the shriek, rushed into the room, and supposing that her husband had been killed or had killed himself, gave way to what was to tho supposed victim on thc floor a series of very gratifying outbursts of grief. What the lady said when her lord and master sat up aud informed her that ho was only Bhammltlj*, history docs not record ; but if she failed logo from ono extreme to tho other ami give him a round .���colding, she certainly missed a great opportunity, and showed herself a woman of marvellous self-control, How to Dry Wet Shoos- Wlien, without overshoes, yon have beon caught in n heavy rain-storm, perhaps you havo known already what to do with your host kid boots, which havo been thoroughly wet through, and which, if loft to dry in tho ordinary way, will bo Btiff, brittle, and unlovely?

Kir.it wipe off gently with a soft cloth all surface water and mud ; then, while still wet, rub woll with kerosene-oil, using for the purpose lho furred sido of Canton flannel, Set them aside till partially dry, when a Bocond treatment with oil is advisable. Thoy may thon bo deposited in a conveniently warm place, where they will dry gradually nnd thoroughly. Boforc applying French kid-dressing, give themaflnal rubbing with the flannel, still slight ly dampened with kerosene, and your boots will be soft and flexible as new kid, and be very little affected by their bath in the rain. This term is usually Confined to two forms of trouble that prevail mostly in the fall, and are supposed to bo duo to emanations from swamps of stagnant water, attended with rank growth of vegetation, especially of grass aud weed vanity. While water is high and vegetation is not matured tho disorders do not manifest themselves, but when tho season is far advanced, and water has mostly disappeared and vegtntion is decomposing, the malarial Irouhles^nppear. It comes in ono or two forms, viz., intermittent fever or bilious remittent lever. Tho latter seems to be ouly tho former intensified. Typical interinilicnta havo threo distinct stages during a paroxysm and a period of intermission of 24, -IS or 7'-'hours, when one feels comparatively well, Tho periods vary in their length, and lho stages in tho order of their coming or in intensity of discasod action somewhat, according to tho constitution of tho patient or their bodily health whon tho malaria found them, Thc throe stages are usually that of chill, fever and sweat. Sometimes these stages get mixed a little, i.e, thc skin will fool hot when chill is on and patient is shaking; again, swoat will appear with the chill ; again, a hard chill and littlo fovor or vice vorsa. Tho routine prescription is a fover medi- ohio during attack aud 10 to 20 grains of quinine in Ibo intervals, divided into two- grain dimes. Thc common fover remedy is aconite 10 or 12 drops of 3d in half glass of water and take a teaspoonful every hour till sweat begins. As to medicine in tho interval, wo must protest against tho indiscriminate use oi quinine. Now and then a case may need it, and when it is tho remedy it is not needed in auy such quantity. A hotter form would bo to put enough tincture of cinchona in water to color it decidedly,then take a teaspoonful every two hours iu 2d dny chills and overy hour in every day chills. In the place of this remedy twice a day, tako uux vomica in the taino way ; every other time take the cinchona, This is the drug from which quinine is made. Tho cases that mostly require this remedy are those which have the different Stages quito woll marked and where the patient is usually healthy and rather fnll blooded. Persons that are weakly, pale, thin in ilesh, or iiavc weak digestion or hoA-t'ls, nre nol, lho right persona for cinchona and especially for quinine. Tbe latter drug may stop tlie paroxysm for one, two, or threo woeks,whon it returns and the same drug must be repeated in larger doses. While this tumble-down and build-up process is going oil the general health ia being undermined and the sufferer haa a fair prospect for un nil winto:-'s siege, with finally an enlarged spleen (ague cake.) The thin, weakly persons should use, instead of above drugs, ipecac, if much nausea, especially at small of victuals during interval; nalruiii muriaticum if much hoadachn nets in at the beginning of the paroxysms and continues all through, and even sometimes extends from one paroxysm to the next; arsenicum if chill and fever got mixed up, and especially if a person has a faulty digestion at oilier times. These remedies should bo taken in the interval from ono lo two hours apart as directed for cinchona. When tho chill is a shako and the chief thing, mix vomica may bo best in the interval. Use about 10 drops of tbo third alternation ih water, or the pills, all of which are iu tlie csbc except natruin, Ono who has chronic ague must be careful about being out in night air, eating apples, or rich food, or overeating. iSoine cases that havo been on hand for months will need tho guidance of a physician, Tlie best way to do in this disease as in moBt others, is to rest during the interval, as woll as iu the attacks. The second form is when thoro is no interval of comparative health betwoon attacks. 'Tho fever abates but does not wholly go off. This io called bilious reiniltent fever and must bo treated much the same way and with samo remedies as intermittent fovor. At this timo of the year, probably many readers are victims of " ague." An adjuvant during the fever, if not chilly, is frequent sponging with tepid water. Don't dough! In all bronchial affections the paroxysms of tho cough should bo placed as far as possible undor control of the will. The old idea that disagreeable sensations in the throat indicated the presenoo thero of "something which ought to como up" has been entirely displaced by the more rational viow that the continued and prolonged efforts to expel that "something" arc often productive of more mischief than would result from its being allowed to remain. There is attendant upon every disease of tho bronchial tubes a greater or less amount of.mucus, which exudes from tho membranous lining of tho tube. Of course there are tho accompanying sigiiB of inflammation���hoat, pain, swelling and redness ; but it is tbe mucous exudation which is for tlio most part reaponsiblo for the disagreeable sensations whicli wc iimtino- tively attempt to alloviate by coughing. Now it is certain that, in a great majority of instances, where the general health of the patient is not attacked, this exudation undergoes what is called resolution ; that i), it is ro-absorbcil through lho fine iieUork of blood-vessels about the tubes into tbe blood, whore it is taken care of, and complete recovery is effected. On tho other hand, let us Biippose that we do not wait for resolution to take place; but that, on the theory that every particle of the exudation should bo expelled, as being of a poisonous nature, we strain tu exhaustion every muscle of expiration, and, iu fact, the wholo system, What follows T Wo may have accomplished our immediate object, or tho seat of tho inflammation may havo been out of reach. In either event, if we could see the point at whicli our efforts had been directed, wo should discover that they had not boen productive of the results anticipated. Instead of tho Inflammation being in any way allayed, wo should find that an effect bad been produced similar to that which follows scratching an itching sore. The irritation has for tho moment been relieved, but it is only a question of time when it will return with renewed energy. Tho habit of endeavoring to expol more of the exudation than will come away with gentle and infrequent coughing is an ex- hausliug and idle one. The Empress of Austria i* a great smok er.

It has been decided that a sunstroke is not an accident, but that injury to thc spine through lifting a heavy weight is one. Kven if physical ailments contribute to au accident, it is covered by the policy. The relatives of a man who, while bathing in shallow water, was seized with a fit and suffocated, sustained their claim,as did those of a man who, wlien similarly seized, fell under a train and was killed. Again, a person having fallen and dislocated his ahoulder was put t> bed and carefully nursed, but in less than a month he died uf pneumonia. The connection between that complaint and a dislocated shoulder is not at once visible, but on the ground that the restlessness nnd susceptibility to cold pro' caped her notice, and, catching by the moss- j ,ll";,;'1 hy the accident led to the disease es and grasses that decorate tho wall's old I whioh kille'> hl">- the relatives wore held to sides, sho clambers to tho top of It, ami standing there, looks tlown at the other sido.

As eagerly she looks to tho left, and here her eyes stand still, " Do you want to come down, Miss O'More?" asks a voico that has something of surprised condemnation in it.

He has been sent out by his hostess to shoot a rabbit, as Miss Anson wants a rabbit-skin to make something for the coming bazaar that is to bo held in the school-house. " There isn't a moment !" erics Terry, wildly. "Thoy"���looking baok���"they havo turned the corner !

"Tho influence of intoxicating liquor' lias been authoritatively defined as "influence which disturbs the ba|anC9 oi a man's mind or the intelligent exercise of his faculties," and injuries received while in that condition are uot covered by an accident policy. Nor are those caused by running obvious risk, as crossing a railway, even ot a proper place, without exercising due care to avoid passing trains. -[Chambers's Journal. Englishman, Immovably wise- actually reprehensible think it un over to lot a He Well Deserves It- The newly-elected mayor of a country town was about to make his iirst journey in that capacity through the place. The townspeople had arranged that from an arch of llowers under which he was to pass a floral crown should be hung surmounted by the words: "He well deserves it." Hut tho wind blew away the crown, ami when the pompous mayor passed under the arch, to the great joy of those who had voted against him, only a rope with a noose at the end of it dangled, with " He well de serve* it" standing out in bold relief above it. The slipper was probably tho very first home mission board. the world, and though he may breathe throats against if, yet he would bo the Iirst to spring lo its defence were if assailed by anyone but himself. Publio utterance there is tlie safety valve of the people, and under its ample provisions things aro said openly which iu France, in Germany, and oven in free Amorioa, would bo considered, and in somo cases would actually be, a danger to Ihe state. The reason of this is that if the Britisher, when bo starts out to growl, docs not know how to hold his tongue, he has full command of his faculties and he loves deeply that which he is con tented to abuse What struck the foreign visitors to London during the festivities incidental to thc marriage of the Duke of York was the intense enthusiasm of the crowds for the reigning family. The streets around and adjacent to the royal residenoe were packed with the London multitude Binging " Ood Save the Queen " as an assurance to the august, venerable and splendid woman who fills the throne that the hearts of her subjects were with her. The Russian notables were particularly impressed hy this incident. Coming from a country where tho sovereign fears to venture into the most frequented paths lest he should be assassinated by his unruly and discontented subjects, this popular ebullition of the love of a people for tlicir ruler, which expressed not only tho feeling of London, but what Londoners aro pleased to call the provinces, which includes all that is not London, was a revelation to those who knew only despotism and all its hateful consequences. Socialistic ideas permeate the mass in England as they do in many other countries, but it is not the violent and destructive socialism of the continent, because the latter is atheistical and murderous, while the socialism of Britain is tempered by the teachings of Christianity which TIK PEOPLE REVERE and strive to live up to, however short thoy may fall of the ideal. Even their religion is a part of their conservatism, mid they who look for radical change must regard tho tenacity with which this people have clung to their forms through the centuries, and still cling tothoni. If they are not the chosen peopleaccordinglotheScriptures, they have, at least, inherited the promises and have workedouta civilization iiniquein history and have gone far ami suffered much in carrying their belief, their virility, and tlieir love of all which is upright and manly to all parts of the universe. Tlie sandalled legions of Rome in the daya of her imperial power may have carried respect and fear to all parts of the thon known world, but in her palmiest days her power was infinitesimal compared witli that of the Britain of to-day. Wherever the An- glo-Sarou has penetrated, there the red coat has been prepared to follow him, to uphold him against oppression and wrong, and to emphasize the principle that fear exacts what civility might not be prepared to pay. The monarchical system will survive in Great Britain because the people know that it is the safest and best form which could be adopted. Some may hint at a gradual growth of opinion adverse to the monarchy, but we do not believe that it will ever manifest itself to the extent of such a drastic change as is suggested. The remarkable woman who now wields the sceptre is bowel down with years, and it cannot be very long, though we hope it may, before she must surrender the rule to her son, the Prince of W ales, and we believe that his accession to the throne will be received with satisfaction by the people, without prejudice to the affection with which they now regard his royal mother. Viewed through the American press, His Royal Highness is a reckless spendthrift and an immoral man. It must bo remembered that ihis estimate of him is formed for tho purpose of feeding the hostility which obtains in certain parts of tho States against the royal family and the British establishment generally. If half the things which aro said about His Royal Highnoss in the American press wero true, it is hardly possible that he should occupy THE moil PLAOE ho docs in the estimation of tho people over whom ho will bo king one day. His position is such that ho cannot adopt the means resorted to by ordinary persons to protect himself from vicious attacks of this nature, and, therefore, he is more exposed to slander and sneers. But no reputable piper in England or the colonies ncccpls lhe frequent reports of him in the American press as being in any way truthful, and tiiey do not sully their columns with repetition of them, Thc Prince is liko any other gentlomau in his conduct, but, in the words of Swift, " Censure ia the tax a man pays to the public for beiug eminent,'' The great prominence of his position keeps him in ihe public eye all the time, but it speaks highly for tho understand! ng and honor of thc Uritish press that it doos not give currency to tho miserable scandals which arc concocted for American consumption and brazenly published, On November Oth, the Prince reached his fifty- second birthday. That liis days havo been useful, that he has given much time and attention to the wants of tho peoplo, there is ample testimony. Indeed, judging from the accounts of his work, there are fow busier men in England than ho and none more popular.

Roman Walls in Germany and England. Au important discovery has lately been made by tho Herman areluoologists who aro exploring the remains of the Roman frontier wotks. locally stylo.l " Pfalilgraben or Teufelsmauer," which cross Western tier- many from the Rhine near Cohlenz to the Danube near Rogensburg. These works consist of substantial rampart and ditch or, near the Danube, of a rough stone wall, with forts and towers at suitable intervals, and the Gorman Government has lately appointed a Kcichlimes Commission to explore the wholo scientifically. A speedy result has been the addition of a new feature to the works. In front, that is on tho hostile side, a small ditch has been discovered, which contain large stones set up edgeways in continuous line, wedged upright by small stones and bottomed with coal, potsherds, and other things which clearly did not grow on the spot. This discovery corresponds to certain statements in the writings of the Roman land surveyors, and seems lo show that the demarcation of the frontier was originally a civil affair. The lino of the rampart suggests the same conclusion, for it pursues a straight course without regal il to tactical positions or possibilities of defence. The frontier lino was a civil, military matter. Curiously enough, says an English paper, wo have lately had reason to form a very- similar conclusion with respect to our own Roman frontier which crosses England from Newcastle to Carlisle, and is usually call,' 1 Hadrian's Wall. General Von Sarwey,the military director nf the I lennan excavations, came to England iii July to visit this wall, and was accompanied oil liis tour by a party of Oxford and local arohioologlatl, The goneral result of tho observations Hindu was to oonfirtn the theory thai tho vallum, or carthwnik which runs soulh of the actual stone wall, was a picoo of civil and not of military engineering, and tl seems probable that it preeeded tho stone wall. In othcr words, the Romans lirsi made a frontier on the principles of civil engineering, marking it by earthworks and a ditch, and wcre then compelled to fi rtil'v it with a stone wall, which In many places dovinlca from the earlier line in order to tako a strong position. The conclusion to bo derived from both the English and tho German instances suggests that in the earlier days of the Empire tho Romans eared little for scientific froir tiers. Minute as thoir frontier organization was, it was not essentially a military matter, But thoy had no civilized enemy to contend against, Ono drink too much caused a Hamilton man to seo a long snake in his garden. 11" valiantly attacked it with an axe, and in e few minutes fettled the monster.

The good Bishop Urge], who exerclmS supremo authority in the vale, has vetoed as satnnic the introduction of leiefufiis and telephones io that primitive region. Tho Vale of Andorra is, as most readers arc probably awaie, one of thc three really happy and contented States in '���lurope. The oilier two are lhe principality of Monaco and the smail republic of Saint Marino. Andorra, which figures as a mere speak on lhc map, stands between Franco on the north and Spain on the Soulh, and is reckoned by those who have seen it oue of the most charming spots in thai Pyrenees. There are 9,000 inhabitants, who, with a lew exceptions, are either shepherds or cultivators of the soil, "The Emperor with the flowing Board'*���Charlemagne���gav* them their autonomy, and most admirable has boen the use they have made of theii liberty, The Slate is governed by a council composed of twenty-four members elided each year, and from among the elders ir tho community he who is considered tht wisest and is tiie mo-t respected is chose! as President for life. li appears that the State has been tret from ciime since tho end ol the soventeontl century, and when that matte;- is allude! to by any of the Inhabitants they invar! ably make the sign of the cross. The par ticular crime appears to have been tho result of a love affair, All public duties are performed gratuitously, with the exception of Borvicoi rendered by the two notaries who practise there, and who obtain payment when thay are employed ; hut pray think of it, only two notaries in a population of 0,100! The head of every family, whether represented by lather or eldest son, is supreme. Either the ono or the other is implicitly obeyed, as ii bas always been the custom ill patriarchal families. Andorra is too near to the Spanish frontier for its inhabitants to have entirely escaped the influence of pride of caste which characterizes tho former nation. Indeed, there is no prouder raco in the world than thc Andorrans; they could give points lo the noblest hidalgo. The Andorran'a word is his bond, and oue might very naturally ask. What cau the two notaties possibly have to do'.' Ths men are all soldiers, but in their annals, which are all in manuscript, there is no mention of any battle having been fought within the last ten centuries. They tell the time principally by buu dials, and df without actors, broker1, an I policemen. The iinprmiou p.-il i :e.l at sight of thc magnificent pine-capped mountains in the Vale of Andorra, split up here and there by torrents which come rushing down their sides, and. form al tlieir base two rivers the Ordino nnd the Embaliro is one of enchantment. The Lowlands of the valleys, bordered by gigantic chestnut and walnut trees, arc rich in crops of golden corn, among" which the vine and olive trees spread their twisted branches. Herds of cattlo browso on the green plains, die snow-white fleeces of the sheep shining liko silver beneath ilia rays of the setting sun. Intersecting streams are redolent of trout: and auy quantity of game���grouse, pairidges, anS other birds, ily unconcernedly within r, stone's throw of human beings, as it they were never interfered with or had novel smell powder, which probably they seldom or never have. It has been said that if the half tamo bears of tho Pyrenees werii only hold enough, lhey would put in an appearanoe in the square opposite the church of Andorra and dance to amuse the children. It is in this arcadian spot that enterprise is naturally anxious in view of progressive eventualities of erecting telegraph poles aud affixing wires which, at all events for the present, could serve no nsefi'l purpose beyond providing a perch for the numerous birds Hying about the country. Moreover, where it is a question o: directing the electric current, a circumference of a'few hund- red miles mors or less in transit can make no difference, Owing to iis geographical and pastoral conditions the Vale of Andorra has prospered outside the stir and turmoil ofa busy world, satisfied with it own traditional history, and unregretful of having no glorious deeds to record.
