Canadian Fishing Yessels Held American Authorities. Port Tewnsend, Wash., Aug. 8.���������The - recent seizure of several Canadian fishing vessels by the revenue launch guard in the vicinity of Point Roberts and Blaine for fishing in American waters, has raised some intricate points of international law. It is clair..ed that there ,is no law which prohibits foreign vessels from fishing in American waters and, under this claim, tho British-embassy at Washington made a demand on the United Stat.s government for tho immediate release of the vessels. This was referred here for investigation, and the revenue officers say the vessels were seized for landing nets in American waters without complying with the customs laws by entering their certificates. This explanation t was not satisfactory and advices to-day *i'rom the treasury department at Washington say that United States Consul ,, Smith, ot Victoria, has been ordered to proceed to Point Eobcrts and Blaine immediately for the purpose of making a -thorough investigation and report without delay to the department. WARNED BY RUSSIA. the great peak of Assiniboine for some time. He will be accompanied by Swiss guides from Interlaken, who have recently been introduced nt the Selkirk glacier and other mountain points for the benefit of Alpine clubs. A story is now going the reunds to the effect, that the Chinese government will soon make a contract for tearing down the Great Wall, which is 1,300 miles long. It is very unlikely that any attempt to do this will bo made, because the expense of taking down such a wall, even with the cheapest labor, would amount to an almost impossible figure. Theresevoir at Forty- second street and Fi th ayenuo, "New York city, may be compared to the tho wall of China in certain ways. It is estimated that it will cost over S100,- 000 to remove the resevoir, and when its small size is considered, it will be seen that to pull down 1,300 miles of wail would cost a billion or more dollars." It is probable that tho w-ill may, however, be utilized as a quary by those in search of building materials. '���������Scientific American. Miss Maud Spencer, of Leeds, Eng., has broken her engagement with Geo. A.

If the same law is in force in Canada there is a.chanee for fortunes in it. A WAY OUT OF THE DIFFICULTY Is for th^ Owners and Miners to Hold a 'Joint Meeting. , It is a pity that the owners and men of the Slocan cannot come together and make some arrangement to break up the present monoton}'. Even if the men should win eventually, in a lay off of six months they will lose as much as they would gain in three or four years' work, and, of course, the owners are in any event losing the interest on whatever profits their properties may make. .Outside of this the eountry is receiving a set back from which it will take years to recover, and business.-: men, too, everywhere and in every line in the district are losing money. It would be a great thing all around if a conference between the men and the owners was held to see if some solution or way out of the difficulty could not be arrived at. We are confident the business men in the district would do what they cou d in any way to assist in an amicable settlement of the differences. whether from the ore ledges becoming exhausted or from the market demand for silver and lead becoming small and unprofitable. This week there have boon 5,230 shares sold at prices the highest of which svus 140 and the lowest 135. Offer was made of 135 and the demand was for 140.���������Montreal Mining News.

JDegiers, the Russian minister, has addressed a note to the Tsung-li-Yamon, warning that body that the conclusion of an alliance with Japan would give great offence to Russia, and that the consequences to China would be most serious. Victoria, August 7'.���������Captain McCos- k'ri, of the Princess Louse, has given the police information that the so- called divine healer, of whose mission here one Eugene Brooks is head, is responsible for the death of his young son. It seems that Mrs. McCoskri was prevailed upon by converts to give up her regular physician and resort to divine healing, under which treatment the boy died during tho captain's absence from the city. HOW IT HAPPENED. Slocan City and District. Chinese Fooled After Ail. Victo'ia, August 9.���������Since the Privy Council has decided that the act prohibiting the employment of Chinese underground in coal mines is beyond the authority of the provincial legislature, the government has determined to accomplish the samo result in a different way. This decision is announced as the result of an interview with Ralph Smith, as representative of the miners' union. The mine inspector will be ordered to prohibit the employment underground of any person not able:to read and understand the coal mines rogulations. This rule not to effect any persons so employed before the lst;of August. Weird Political Forecasts. The Chapleau closed down Sunday.

Mr. Crowco is now around after his miraculous escape ot the Sovereign, and gives tlie cause of the accident, as nearly as he can get at it, as follows : The tunnel is iii about 550 feet and at 400 it makes a jog or drift on the vein about 150 feet.

That newspaper publishers are riot always to blame, and in' fact very seldom, when errors, appear in their papers, is evident from the following : Some weeks ago the manager of a property, well known to most citizens, brought a large piece of ore to this office broken from a rich lodge! He said it came from his tunnel; and lie gave a description of his valuable propeity, which was' repsrted as bo gave it. A few days after the secretary of the company called at the office and informed the editor, they had hot yet found a lead, to say nothing of a. pay- streak, on their property. He said they had found consideraole float and were driving a cross-out to tap the lead. Of course tho editor was not to blame for the falsification somewhere. However, as the manager with the big ledge, has since been iircd, we are free to say he did the fibbing. Jas. Baird, of London, Eng., is making a tour of the counuy. Messrs.

Shares in this British Columbian silver and lead property, when for sale, do not want offers long and as there are three million shares, which would at present prices yield over four million ars, there are quite frequently on I this stock transactions which somc- ' times involve considerable vaities. Silver and lead are inconstant demand and are likely always to' be so. Besides tho company working this silver and lead property recommend it as an investment iu the best way. They pay out large monthly dividends and doing this, keep t;;e stock price' above par value. These prices lluctuating never come lor any length of time, even at their lowcol, near par and-they thus add perceptibly to much other cumulative evidence that this mine is a very valuably property.

All told there are about 125 men working in mines within four miles of the city. Tho usual number is 6 or 7 times that. The general conclusion of mining men, who have seen the chute of ore lately exposed in No. 5 tunnel of the Payne, say it is the best one yet met on the property. All the mining operations around Cody are confined to a few men working at the Noble Five, and perhaps seven or eight at the Vulture and four at the Coin. Thero are several, however, working at prospects of their own in the vicinity! , Mr. B. M. Walton, the conractor at the Ajax Fraction, says there are several men working underground on that property at S3.50 for eight hours. Newspapers get their information from several sources that they b lieve to be reliable. Very few publishers give anything they do not believe at the time to be true. We gladly give Mr. Walton's version of it, as we know nothing of the circumstances ourselves personally. Many have heard of the richness of the silver ores of the Slccan country, but few havo an id-ja uf how rich these ores are. By a careiul computation it was recently shown that the average assay v.iluc of several thousand tons of ore Irom different mines in'the Slocan, which ore was treated at the several smelting plants in and out of Canada, ran about 125 ounces of silver and 45 per cent lead to the ton, which would represent, taking the price of the metals at their present values, some ��������� $113 to the ton.

BARN CONSTRUCTION. ��������� A gentleman whose barn was recently burned asks us for the names of books devoted to plana of barns and if thoro are architects who inake a specialty of barn construction. . To both of his questions we must 'answer that we know of nono. The reason for lack of publications especially devotsid to barn construction is that ideas have been changing so rapidly during the last few years that nothing thoroughly up to date has boon published in book form. The most progressive idoas on the subject are in tho files of the best class of agricultural newspapers. So far as architects are "concerned .we-know of none who make any speciality of barn construction, for the reason that an architect to understand his business thoroughly must be something of an expert* in some of the technical details of the uso to -which the structure is to be put. The more modern and best arranged barns that we know anything of have been constructed by practical dairymen. The changing ideas relative to barn construction are due to a growth of lhe feeling that cattle must have more light, more air, and better air than was formerly supposed to bo necessary. Growing out of, this feeling has come a condemnation of the former practico of a.dark, noisome manure.cellar in the basement, cattle above that, and then hay and other fodders above the cattle and manure. The essential principle of modern barn construction is that there shall be a main building for storage only, with one story ells to be used exclusively for stock. There are many adaptations of this prineipLe, according to circumstances, the lay of the land, the size of the dairy and the means o������ the owner. In a 'number' of instances where those modern barns have been built, the land is of such a sloptv as to allow of a light, dry, airy basement under tho whole, of the main barn which affords an excellent storage place .toy. wagons and farm machinery. In' some instances the lay of the land is such that loads can be driven not only on to the main floor of. the.barn, but also on to u n;'upper floor. In tho latter case much of the grain, etc.; can be unloaded so as to drop by gravity to the bins, saving a great deal of manual labor. Many of these new barns aro fitted for the use of a fork for unloading hay. In some cases the silo is built in the barn, the silo being rectangular : and occupying a . corner of the barn, or being circular and enclosed in the barn, according to the tastes of the owner. The circular silo seems on the whole,to be growing in favor. The ell for the stock will bo of such length as is necessary to accommodate all the animals to be kept; there may .be'more' than one if needed. This ell is usually of sufficient width to allow room for the passage of a wagon loaded with green crops" through the centre, ss'ith a row of stalls on each side, and liberal passage ways in the.rear. These ells are usually built vvith monitor roofs, well supplied with windows which can be opened from the . barn floor by rods and gears. It is usually customary to open all on .one side or the other, according to tho direction of the wind. Each side of this stock ell has a row of windows, 'all oi which'are stationary.at the bottom and arranged to swing inward a few inches at the top, thus any air through them will be given an upward tendency on its entering the barn, and will not come in a sharp draught upon the cattle standing near the window. In addition to this many barns have ventilating ducts for the admission of pure air from the outside. These ducts are useful, parti . culariy in extreme weather, when it might not be considered prudent to I open the windows behind tho cows. Except in the coldest nights, many farmers keep the windows in the monitor roof slightly ajar for purposes of ven- . tilation. ,'.���������..' The floors of these barns for stock are made of wood, cement, or various kinds of artificial stone. In some . mangers are built for feeding the cattle, while in others they are fed from the cement floor, a concavity having been shaped in the cement. , At the end of the row is a waterpipe, and by turning a faucet running water will flow through the whole of 'this gutter in front of the cows, for watering thcih, and also for flushing and cleaning the gutter. A similar device is frequently constructed in the rear of the cows for manure. Undervthis system of caring ' for cattle the manure must be removed from the barn every day, and in some instances is hauled at once on to the land. Some barns are fitted vvith a scraper, which runs the whole length for gathering up the manure and depositing it in ������i cart at the end of the row. The latest notion as to stalls ��������� is in favor of box stalls. These allow the cows greater freedom, the idea being that cows do best when they are in the most contented frame of mind possible; anything that tends to. promote absolute content a!nd mental serenity is reflected favorably at the milk pail. Consequently, it is arglued that a box stall fcr the cowa jjays better. . In the newest barn that we have seen the partitions between the stalls are constructed of two-inch galvanized iron pipe. This is cleanly, and removes any objection that might be raised to plajik partitions. r tion of a barn can get more information from these ideas in, practice thun by anj newspaper description. AN ACRE OF HENS. Go ahead and build one houso that will accommodate one hundred fowls, writes Fanny Field. Hut a partition through the middle, and keep your fowls in two flocks of fifty each. Divide your acre into four j'ards and uso the yards alternately. In the fall plough up two of the yards and sow to lye. As soon as it is up a few inches put your fowls in those yards. The rye will furnish green food until snow comes, in winter whenever the fowls can" get at the ground, and tho first thing in spiing. Should the rye be likely to grow too high in the fall, jusl turn your cow in for a little while, occasionally, and let her feed It.down. Keep your hens on these yards until ploughing time next spring; "���������' <���������>-*< ^^...-e, . _ hen turn them into the other yards, where the grass will be nice and fresh. LJlough under what is left of tho ryo, and plant the yards to corn and sunflowers. We have kept fowls in that way ���������fifty in a flock, one hundred in one house���������and there was not a case of sickness among the old fowls' , during the entire year. And wo made over one hundred dollars in clear cash from the sale of eggs fromi those one hundred hens; so wo do not; hesitate to declare that more than twenty-five fowls can be profitably kept in one flock. No; we didn't sell any of the eggs at fancy prices; they were' sold at the average price of twenty cents a dozen. Ask yourself if you have an acre of land.within the limits of your farm that pays one hundred dollars, or even fifty dollars. , t* PREPARING HOR-SESFOR, MARKET. No fixed rule can be> laid down, but it is very necessary that the horses be well fed. They must come to the auction with glossy coats, smooth hair and must be well broken. . While horses are being fattened for market they must be given an hour's exorcise daily. It is very necessary that they should be taken to town occasionally so as to become accustomed to steam and eleotric cars. No horse should be younger than fives,.yoafs, nor older than eight to bring a good price. I Sill K ������ HOSPITAL FOR BIRDS. Curious EiiHIfdilliru lor llic Trortliiuut ol SiiII'ci'Iiik' Blrrtx .Situated at Noi-wooil. How many Londoners know of the Birds' Hospital.down in Norway ? says a letter from that great city. A canary vvith a broken leg, your seedy parrot, your prize poultry with tuberculosis, your racing pigeon with .a touch of "liver "���������each is welcomed theroand restored. This old institution is in charge of Professor Vale, who .was led to the closer study of birds' ailments" from the fact that his own died under the ordinary treatment. He made frequent experiments with medicines, and now, after fourteen years of study, he, considers himself capable of curing almost any feathered creature suffering from accident or ailment. Smallpox���������even the winged bipedsg et it���������can be banished, "swelled head," can be reduced, tuberculosis can be exterminated, while minor ills have all their cures. "I cured a valuable racing pigeon a few days ago,"' said the doctor. " It came homo ill and wasted, and when I sent it back it was gaining flesh and ready to fly for a cup. Larger birds ? Yes, swans and turkeys, I have attended both. " I haven't, any canaries on wooden legs here, but I have often set a broken one. Fuse a large quill, split open, and lined with cotton wool as a splint; it keeps the limb quite firm. Many canaries thatl treat are suffering from wrong feeding. Most books on canar- ,ies say that canary seed is the best food, whereas it is, about the most unsuitable, with perhaps, the exception of millet." "' ���������Mr. Vale explained the various constituents of canary seed, and demonstrated.that they were in a very different proportion from that required by nature. Starch is the great enemy of the human race, according to Mr. Vale. If the system was entirely free from starchy foods one would throw off disease without effort, and the modern Briton would live, as his forebears, to one hundred and-twenty years. Mr. Vale recounts with glee the history of a white owl which he owned that simply revelled in a diet consisting of the remains of birds that had died of different diseases sent to his master for post mortem purposes, -~J yet remained healthy. and A VERSATILE MAN, ch?

Hanvey of Washington, a first edition of Eugene Field's "Model Primer," of which but seven copies are extant. Mr. Clark acted for the owner, Mrs. Robert White, of Mexico, Mo. .The book was referred to Francis. Wilson, the comedian, who, as an authority on Field's works pronounced it a genuine first edition. Joseph J. Willet, of Alabama, who made the principal speech at the Tammany Hall 4th of July celebration in New York, is but 3G years old, and the youngest man ever president of the Alabama Bar Association. President McKinley has been breaking the handshaking record again: No less than 4,810 shakes in one hour and forty-five minutes is his achievement at the latest White House reception! This is at the rate of forty-six shakes per minute. ��������� The intention of the'North German Lloyd Steamship Company to secure piers in New York and leave Hoboken, urhinh was announced some time ago, has been abandoned, and ita present docking facilities are to bo enlarged and Improved. The Declaration of Independence ii, scarcely read nowadays(at oelebrations of the" Fourth." Men say. they, do not desire to hear the arraignment of the King of Great Britain, that be is dead and his acts belong to a dead past, and that no.benefit comes from'the revival of dead issues. Madame Lili Lehmann, the grand opera singer has entered into an agreement with the 400 girls attending the New Brunswick, N. J., Fublic schools; under ��������� which she consents to sing in that city next season at popular prices, the girls agreeing on their part to refrain from wearing birds on their hats. Mrs. McKinley is a great dog fancici and owns the largest-St. Bernard in the world. : Its name is Washington. A special servant is appointed to take care of the pets of the President's wife and the dogs are groomed every morning in the same way as the pets al Sandringham, England, home of the Prince and Princess of Wales. A lady at Green Haven, N.Y., secured a separation from her husband on the ground of extreme cruelty. Among other brutal acts he was in. the habit of sleeping with a hammer under his pillow, and with this he frequently threatened, during the night, to pound her into insensibility. An eel was used to clean a two-incb water pipe in Cincinnati." The pipe had become clogged with mud, and a string was attached to tho tail of the eel, which was then placed in tho pipe. A jerk on the string now and then excited 'the eol to activity, and it was thus induced to crawl onward, dragging after it a light bunch of rags. A NEW PROPHET. lie I'rcdlcls Wire lUsaslei- for <<r<*nt Itrltaln. Another new prophet has. arisen, and after the- style of the late Mother Ship- ton, has embodied his prophecies in a more or loss "poetical" effusion under thovcapti6n of "Cudmore's prophecy oi the. twentieth century." Its author is an Irish counsellor-at-law, who resideB iii the United States, and like some others among his fellow-countrymen he has evidently no love for either England or its people. His anti-British fooling is strongly shown in tho dire' fate which he decrees for England during the next century. Ho says:��������� . . . . "War, devastation, Famine, plague, and great conflagra- .tiion ; Then modem Babylon will burn down, Woe I Woo I to great Sodom���������London town I Then the people will bo fierce and 'mud, care for religion and niob, a fierce, lawless and rob; the Shylock Little they'll God I Then London crew, Will murder Jew. Kings and lords and religion, they, will deride, And ail kinds of property, they will rlivide; And great Mammon's temple���������London's bank��������� London rabble will plunder and sack, England's trade will com^ lw'.��������� devastation ; Woe ! Woe ! to tho proud British na- lion, England, England, the nations did en- '.thru/i, Like Babylon and Rome she will ~" fall, Noit by vandals ��������� that '..lawless crew��������� But from , workshops, colleges and 'schools." It must be consoling to Irishmen,and to all lovers of the Emerald Isle that ill-. Cudmore's native land is not to share, in the disastrous fate which is to overtake Great Britain: Oh the contrary such an era is promised as should pleuse oven .the most' ardent b'etniian. In shaky metre, and still more shaky rhyme, ho decrees:������������������ ������������������ Then England's fall and devastation, ... ' ��������� ' ���������Will make Ireland a glorious nation, Tho Irish .Republic will tako its station . , Amongst the most enlightened nations. Oh, Erin's sou, thou art not forgot, ��������� : " , . '���������..' Emmet's epitaph is writ at last I ��������� -. Heed, you this moral, all true Irish- .. Juen, ; . Believe' in prophecy and Coluimb- kille, , ; ' Let lhe watchword now and ever be, That ail nations must and shall bo free 1 In order Ihat his nationality may not be mistaken, of 'which thoro is little danger after one has read bis effusion, Mr. Cudmoru's last stanza is devoted to himself and his birthplace. Ho says:��������� The place of my nativity Moprestovvn is my native land, Parish of Kilfinane;������������������' Limerick County, rich and grand, Erin's green dominion. As they resemble Mother Shiplon's prophecies in their versification, so Mr. Cuidmoro's, prophecies are likoly to resemble some others in their fulfilment particularly that ono which says:��������� And the world to an end shall *comet In eighteen hundred and Ninety- one.. In his case the wish is doubtless father to the prophecy. HOMESICKNESS. I DlHcage Tlmt tn tho Intense Form Af lllcts Oilier Itncvx Tiuin lhe Anclit-Suxou. Thero is a malady which boarte of a learned appellation compounded of two Greek words, but which is better known by a homelier" and far more expressive name in the vornaouliiri, and yet although this binomial disorder in described in the dictionaries as "A vehement desire .... affecting tho physical health," it has not been as- sighed a place in the Nomenclature of Diseases for which the"Royal Collega of Physicians of London is rosponsi- ble, says the Lancet. The fact, too, that homesickness, if impervious . to drags is nevertheless in tho,highest degree amenable to treatment, might credibly seem to still further justify its inclusion in the official glesssary of the 1,053 natural shocks that flesh is heir ,to. With regard to the etiology of this unqualified compluint there still remain several points requiring elucidation, albeit in its genesis no bacillus is concerned, nor for its adequate diagnosis is thero any ncod of either microscope or test tu.be. - Shortly stated tho essential factor in the production of nostalgia is an environment differing from that amidst which- the affected person passed his or her early days. , When this is the case some intangible influence is generated which reacts upon the victim, but just as happens In many official maladies there must first be innate receptivity or preparedness of soil on tho part of the individual who succumbs. This receptive stato is favored by' at least three separate things���������race, education and temperament���������but of these predisposing causes the last possesses less power than either of tho other. Caeteris paribus, PHLEGMATIC SUBJECTS are more likely to experience homesickness than their sanguine compeers. A tendency to despond, without sufficient cause undoubtedly subserves toward nostalgia, but ardent, enthusiastic people who continually look forward���������who never are, but always to be ���������have tho advantage, if advantage it be, of remaining immune. Education, or rather the want of it, is more potent than temperament, the trend of civilization, which is equiva- , lent to, education, being distinctly in the direction of cosmopolitanism. The deeper the ignorance, the ruder the conditions of life under which a human being exists, the greater tho probability when exposed to its influence of his acquiring nostalgia. ��������� If an islander from Tierra dol Fuego, for instance, wore, to be transported to the comparative paradise of the Gilbert Islands in the Pacific Ocean which have been described as "a cluster of pearls- hung upon the equator," ho would very likely bewail his hard lot and pine for his own inclement and inhospitable wilderness, and if in like inaniier a Pacific Gilbertian were to be promotod to, say, 'Pall'".' Mall���������which, without wishing to, speak disrespectfully of the equator, we maintain to be the more desirable abode of the two���������-he also would no douibt soon break his heart longing for the delights of his sweltering hut in Micronesia. But of the three predisponents race it is which is the strangest und most' inconsequential. Anglo-Saxons and their Celtic brethren vary their manners and customs while abroad to a less extent proba'bly than people of any other nationality, and yet in spite of this they make the best colonists. ���������There is no human being in existence Who can appreciate tho charm of _ a home more exquisitely than the Celtic- Anglo-Saxon, and yet he is to bo met with in every cornor of the world. 'He loves his own native place beyond words, but he .can' endure enforced expatriation without giving in. to nostalgia. The fact is he recognises the' futility of kicking against the pricks iind so makes his mind up to sacrifice a portion of his life or oven, if the worst, come to the worst, the whole of it. For.'nostalgics we. must turn to- some other tribe. When ail is said, they remain a narrowrminded \ crew whose mental processes run in grooves. They may call their ; failing by the., high-sounding: name of patriotism, but- such it is not. ; <:'''. '"V"' ..;��������� Nostalgia is the cat's complaint, a purely, selfish disorder, whereas love- of country can flourish anywhere and. takes no account of self. *\nd so after all our. masters in medicine are perfectly right. Nostalgia" is righteously excluded from a list of the shocks, tha t Anglo-Saxon flesh is hjir to. BETROTHAL. , When first upon her slender hand Ho slipped the little shining'ring, A dewdrop trembling on a band, A costly, slight familiar thing,' She drew the merest space apart; ' 'I'll nevermore be free," she said, A half reluctance in her heart; And flowerlike drooped hor . golderr head. "Nay, love, forever free," he cried��������� "Free at my side, and que*?n of me;. In all the world so wondrous wide, You are the only one tojno." He kissed the hand that wore the- ring, . , The rose flush , deepened in her choek;- .

Sow tlie ratten* .lliist hiiffcr Another Trlnl���������Inter- eKtliiK Miliileul Cane. Louis Henschan, of Cincinnati, was severely burned about the back, shoulder and right arm on February 25. He lay for weeks in the City Hospital at the point of death, but gradually his horrible wounds began to heal, with the exception ot the multiple wounds vhich had denuded the arm of almost ivery particle of skin. The stubborn resistance offered by these wounds igainst all known remedies finally iecided the physicians to make" a skin graft. As quite a large quantity of outiculo was required to cover so extensive an area the physicians weie at Hi loss to know where to obtain it... In this dilemma -Hauschan's sisters volunteered to supply it, and would have done so had not a brother-in-lawi stepped forward-and made the sacri- fic. lUnder all known aseptic precautions enough skin was removed from the brother-in-law's thigh to cover the surface. After this the healing of the wounds went rapidly on, and the patient was discharged from the institution in less than a mouth afterward, i Recently, bowover, the new skin taken from Honschan's relative has begun to contract, drawing the arm up so- that it'has become almost entirely useless, the contraction being bo gradual that it was scarcely perceptible. But one remedy remains, and that is to remove the shrivelling skin and put other skin in its place. The operation, if consented to by the, patient, will be a difficult one and require skilful handling. .A PERSISTENT SUITOR.

Servant-Yes, but that shows, .ma- am, how much competition thero is to secure"my services. and this ARE YOU JEALOUS. r After marriage jealousy should be striven against just as one battles with fever or any other kind of disease It creates misunderstandings by the hundreds; it ohiils love, though it Is a sign of love, and it makes the unity of thought uud feeling that should exist between husband wife a hollow mockery. It is the wife's part to cure oankox. Women aro so delicately sensitive and so wonderfully wise' and diplomatic, that without throwing thoir cards on tho tablo, and thus re- vouling thoir hand, thoy can force the game to go any way they will. Jealous husbunds are very quick to see when their wives really adore them, and thorn alone, and the woman who is the victimized wife of a jealous man instead of scorning his weakness, does weir to bo lenient toward it, and tender, remembering- that her coiiduot alone is its cure, or, on tho other hand. Its aggravation. ���������>, There are wives who arguo falsely that when thoir husbands coaso.to bo joalous they also cease to lov'o them with tho passionate fervor of the first few years of married life. Never was tlieVo a more absurd mistake. Ola truth, only tho woman who has not known the pangs of jealousy would so arguo. ��������� Jealousy has boon known to kill <kjo- ���������ple. It saps the strength and weakens the vitality of tho ^bourt.

STOP BOOMING. ,. To sny one word njr*iinsfc "booming" In a country situated as British Columbia is at present is, in some quarters, regarded as the unpardonable sin; but, none the less, we venture the opinion that the government should take the initiative, to prevent it in a note of warning. At the present time we believe the War Eagle, the LoRoi and tho Republic mines are collectively stocked for some 520,000,000. They - are without doubt excellent properties, the best in their respective localities, as far as operations have shown; but this a large amount of money. Mining in this country, beyond what may be termed surface work, has not yet been prosecuted, so what depth may do is simply an unknown circumstance. Every one who takes the trouble to look into tlie matter must conclude that it is a problem if ������7,000,- 000 .vol th of ore can be taken out of any of the properties named by sloping the entire ground as deep as the greatest depth yet reached ; and what is below that depth is simply an uncertain quantity. But all the ore mined in a property does not go to capital account or into dividends. It takes a rich ore body to declare one- third of the output clear profit for dividends. As mining goes in this district, it will take ������21,000,000 worth of to make $7,000,000 profits, to say nothing of interest on invests until those profits are realised. . It is, therefore, safe to say that caution should be advised, and the government should be the first in the advice. We believe there are thousands of properties in this cojantry investments in which are as safe as in bank stocks; but as whistles can be bought too dear, so can mining properties. Now, supposing it should turn out that any of these named mines should give out before this stock was realized 'by the holders, the amount is so heavy it would mean disaster for many, which would give the province a black ,eye from which it would take it many years to recover. The government should look at the matter in this light, and take some formal s>tep to give capitalists advice. When large blocks of such stock get into the hands of prominent men, booming to enable them to .make money out of the game is the inevitable consequence; and at the inflated figures it is sure to fall into the hands of many whose greed is larger .than their pocket book. Shrinkage or loss means ruin to them. As it is the duty of the government more than that of individuals to guard the interests of the country, upon it should rest responsibility for neglect in all such matters. As we said at the outset these are all acknowledged the first properties in their respective localities ; but deep ���������mining has hardly yet been tried, and, '..therefore, the probability of realizing -such enormous sums of money from any of them is at least a matter of uncertainty, and the government should give the matter the stamp of authority. Cramps and Colic Always relieved promptly by Dr. Fowler's Ext. of Wild Strawberry. When 3'ou are seized with an attack o( Cramps or doubled up with Colic, you want a remedy you are sure will give you relief and give it quickly, too. You don't want an untried something that MAYliclp you. You want Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, which every one knows will positively cure Cramps and Colic quickly. Just a close or two and you have ease. But now a word of proof to back up thesa assertions, and wo have it from Mr. John Hawkc, Coldwater, Ont., who writes* "Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry is a wonderful cure for Diarrhoea, Cramps and pains in the stomach. I was a great sufferer until I gave it a trial, but now I have perfect comfort." NOT PROVEN. This paper is not the organ of either the mine owners or the miners, and as a consequence we can afford to criticise honestly and fearlessly withouf'offend- ing our boss." A contemporary, published within a few miles of this city, got off a declaration the other day, which goes to show that all the Slocan papers are not on the same basis. It was this: "That the mine owners association are trying to force a reduction of wages so as to increase profits." To be fair to the owners, we would say it is necessary to back up that statement with proof, which is not, however, given. Before the late law was enforced they got a certain amount of work done by each miner per day, and for which they agreeably paid $3.50. They are, one and all, quite willing to pay the same money to day for the same amount of work���������in fact, they have offered rather better. They did not, singly or collectively, ask for a change in the law. A change, however, was made that reduces the value a fifth, or thereabouts, and they are .asked to pay the wages they paid before for the reduced work and they refuse to do it. They, singly and collectively, say to the miners to-day, "Give us the former work and we will give you the former pay." Some apologists, with more rashness than common sense, say that miners can do as much work in eight hours as they did in ten. Men who employ labor in any capacity know this is not the case. If a man will do as much work in eight hours as in ten, why stick at eight hours? AVhy not say he will do as much in six, five or four hours as in ten," and make the latter (4) a day's work ? Nobody ever said that, under tho old order, the men were underpaid. All appr.ircil satisfied until a few representatives, lacking in ability to make a mark in parliament, thought they could make one by a purchase of the electors instead. If the owners asked for this enactment, or if under it they were offering less for results than they were paying before, they would be open to the'een- sure hurled at them by our confrere, but not otherwise. There is not an owner in the Slocan to-day, that we know of, that would not be better pleased to see the obnoxious law repealed and the men all at work as formerly, than working under the law as it is on ������3.00 shifts. All this goes to show that they ars making no effort "to reduce wages so as to increa&e profits." _. No one can attach blame to the miners for endeavoring to get the most money for the shortest hours. Aa things go, that is their side of the contract. Summed up the blame rests on the shoulders of those representatives of the House, who, for lack of ability to make the mark necessary for popularity, resorted to this as a means of acquiring popular strength. MUNICIPAL INSTITUTIONS. The more that is seen of the great necessity in the Province for means to deyelop local public improvements, the more urgent the demand for better self-government under, at least, elementary municipal institutions. While the revenues of the country are comparatively stationary, the demands for better school facilities and local improvements are rapidly on the increase. Even though the country should be well supplied with railways and steamboat service the requirements of the districts are but imperfectly met. If we had not the hills we have, the country would not have the wealth it possesses. This latent wealth is yet bound to make the province the chief one of Confederation, and to develop it heavy expenditures must be made. A mine may not be more than two miles from a railway station or steamboat wharf, as the crow flies, yet What is Scott's Emulsion ? It is the best cod-liver oil, partly digested, and combined with the hypophos- phites and glycerine. What will it do? It will make the poor blood of the anaemic rich and red. " It will give nervous energy to the overworked brain and nerves. It will add'flesh to the thin form of a child, wasted from fat-starvation. It is everywhere acknowledged as The Standard of the World. < 50c. and $1.00, all druggists. SCOTT & BOWNE, ChemiMs, Toronto. it may be distant several miles by conveyance, and the money to make the roads can never be got with resources as" they are at present. It is not too much to say that our assesinent is_vpry imperfect. On a moderate rate of taxation equitably distributed and no omissions, three times the amount would be realized that is, and this desired change can never be made at the present long range from Victoria���������it can only be effected by local officers under municipal institutions. With our sparse population, the territory of each incorporation would, of course, have to be larger 'than that prevailing in other provinces; but in other respects much the same. Under that system all real, personal and income taxation should be given to the districts. ' The people would not so much object to moderate taxation if they only knew they had the expenditure of the money m their own midst. Our schools, too, are becoming a very heavy drain on the government, and cannot long continue as they arc. More of the cost of their maintenance must be be thrown directly on the people, and this can only be done through municipal organization. While under such a change the government would lose considerable revenues they now get, they could make many savings by simplifying government���������cutting off many present unnecessary officials, abolishing the provincial police and many other supernumeraries. These changes have got to come in the near future, and the break might as well be made now as later on, giving the public the benefits at tho earliest moment possible. As a last resort, after overtures to a leading Turnerite had failed, the Sem- lin government has sworn in Mr. Henderson, of New Westminster, as attorney-general. Martin and Higgins have gone into opposition. Prentice is "out of the House, so with Henderson elected Semlin's majority would be the casting vote of the speaker, as the parties now stand. With Henderson defeated it would be in a minority of one. How Henderson can hope to be re-elected is a question to most people. He was elected in the first place by Turner's money, and he promised to support the' Turner paity on a vote of want of confidence. In'; Governor Mc- Innes' dismissal of the Turner party, he was furnished with a pretext for betraying his friends. It cannot be expected now the Turner vote will go with him ; and going against him. as a traitor will mean the defeat of the Semlin government. On the other hand it is likely that Brown, who opposed him before, will oppose him again and he ought to get the larger vote of each party. It may, however, be that the ruse is a long reaching one ���������a dodge to get Heuderson out of the way altogether, and give the portfolio to Brown, if elected. Who knows yet ? In that event, however, as Brown is not a lawyer, another constituency would have to be openod for another to take that portfolio. Mr. Harris's proposition to pierce the Payne mountain with a tunnel is not such a difficult proposition after all, considering the advancement made in such work. With appliances now in use the work can be done for ������4 or $5 a foot, and by stoping each lead, found on the way, to the surface, fresh air would readily be continued on the way, and an easy discharge' for the rock secured. Millions are nothing now in mining, so the means to do it ought to be secured if the importance and: feasibility of the scheme were fully considered. No doubt many leads now unknown would be tapped, and as the proposition would afford a. lower tunnel for them all.it would be a basis for many new properties for the future. There would be. no trouble in' securing such legislation as would guarantee the company undertaking it a royalty on the ore of all properties opened in this way, which it is reasonable to suppose would, in- a short time, recoup the entire cost of the project. The Nelson Tribune sets this paper dewn as "the organ of the mine managers' union," and then draws a picture of things in the Slocan to its own delight. Tne Nelson print has itself so long been the organ of figurehead Hume, that it cannot look upon any other paper other than as "an organ" also. \Ye may here say that The Review is not an organ or even the mouthpiece of the mine managers' union or any other union. With this correction the Tribune may go ahead. Every woman should 'realize that her health is like a bank account. At the outset she has so much deposited to her credit in the bank of health. If she draws out more than she puts in she will soon overdraw her account. An over-drawn account in the bank of health means one of two things, a life of hopeless suffering or an early death. The woman who neglects her health in a womanly way is making big drafts on her account with the bank of health and will soon be a physical bankrupt. Disorders of this description wreck a woman's general health quicker than anything else In the world. They soon transform a healthy, happy, amiable woman into a weak, sickly, fretful and despondent invalid. They utterly unfit a woman for wifehood or motherhood. For all disorders of this nature Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned in maternity, giving them health, strength, vigor and elasticity. It relieves pain, allays inflammation, checks debilitating drains, and quickly subdues all other symptoms. _ It at once stops the dragging pains aud sinking spells, the nervousness, the digestive disturbances and other complications that arise from the same cause. Taken during the months of expectant maternity, it banishes the usual discomforts and makes baby's advent easy and almost painless. It insures the new-comer's health and a plentiful supply of nourishment. Thousands of women have testified to its marvelous merits.

"As we are' at the beginning of a year," says La Science pour Tous, "there is still time to recall certain curiosities of the Gregorian calendar. Thus, since the rel'onnvol" the calendar by Pope Gregory XIII, in 15S2, no century can begin with a Wednesday, a Friday or a Sunday. Also the same calendar can be used every twenty years. January and October of the same year always begiu with the same day. So do April and July, aJso September and December. February, March and November also begin with the same day. New Year's Day and St. Sylvester's Day also fall on the same day, except, of course, in leap-years. Each day of the week has served as a day of rest somewhere : Sunday among the Christians, Monday with the Greeks, Tuesday1' with the Persian's, Wednesday with the Assyrians, Thursday with the Egyptians, Friday with Turks and Saturday with the Jews. Fnally, the error of the Gregorian calendar, compared with the actual course of the sun, does not exceed one day in four thousand years.

Mrs. Richard Rees, a well-known andhighly respected lady of Belleville, Ont., had to bear the burden of kidney compla'nt for over 20 years and now Doan's- Kidney Pills have cured her when all else failed. ��������� Her, husband made the following statement of her case: " For 20 years my wife has been a sufferer from pain in the back, sleeplessness and nervousness and general prostration. Nothing seemed to help her. .Doctors and medicines all failed, until we got a ray of hope when we saw Doan's Kidney. Pills advertised as a positive cure. "She'began to take them and they helped her right away, and she is now better in every respect. We can heartily recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to all sufferers, for they seem tostrike the right spot quickly, and their action is not only quick but it is permanent. "I cannot say more in favor of these wonderful 'pills than that they saved my wife from lingering torture, which she iiad endured for 20 years past, and I sincerely trust that all sufferers, will give Doan's Kidney Pills a fair trial."

"Now, my dear boy," said my old friend and instructor, Lott, the famous deep-sea divor, who came forward to close, the little glass window In my helmet, ,"take good care of yourself, j and don't stay long below.

' The ragged, frayed ends which had become entangled in the rigging were in my hands, and the upper half of the rope had floated away with the tide. "I was alone at the bottom of the sea with no means of signalling my distress. "The india-rubber tube, which was my only means of breathing, was yet fast to me; but as soon as they should; begin to wind in the ropes and tube, on some supposed signal.(from me, it would snap in two, and the water ���������would oome in upon me.

With the advent of i he bicycle knickerbockers seemed for a time a possibility, but the public sentiment was too strong against this innovation and it died, But while they are tabooed in this country, there are parts of the world where trousers are worn by the women as a matter of course. In parts of Savoy, the peasant girls,' gentle, quiet, pious young women for the most part, who have no idea they are doing anything eccentric, and' would shrink from attracting.' notice, wear regular trousers, because their occupations, which involve much climbing, make skirts burdensome and dangerous. Again, in the Tyrol, where the very name of the Now Woman is unknown, where wives are still meek and obedient, taking all the roughest labor upon themselves to spare the husbands who rule the roost, the farmers' daughters, dairy maids and working women generally wear corduroy knee breeches, just.like. the. men. They may be seen by the dozen in Kitzbuhel, - a delightful little village, not far from Innsbruck, with a perfect climate resembling that of the Engadine, and celebrated for its nerve- soothing properties. It. is now being opened up as a winter resort, and has long been frequented in summer by Austrians. At church or market all wear.skirts, but doff them when busy in field, or byre. They, are'' tall, well built, broad-shouldered, strapping women for the most part, with well-turned limbs. These they incase in knitted, woolen stockings, mostly gray, blue or scarlet, that make a brilliant: splash of color against the background of snow. They exhibit a profound indifference to,aught save convenience, yof present-in general a singularly attractive appearance. In addition to her corduroys each girl wears a, print apron, often turned back and tucked cornerwise into her waislband. ��������� of a sudden and severe onslaught of illness ; our hearts are wrung at the thought: of his sufferings and wo long to help him. All of us who havo a spark of humanity in our make-up are sorry for tho really ill. But there is another class of people, who aro, perhaps, even more in need of our sympathy, aud who too seldom receive it. They are the people who, although not dangerously ill, are yet far from well. Happy is she who, during somo period of her existeuco, has not belonged tto the army of martyrs who havo been " under tho weather " for so long that their friends got used to tho fact, and, it may be, in their secret souls rather weary of it. Perhaps ono of tho most trying things about being only passively ill, and that for a long time, is that the patient becomes ashamed of her indisposition, aud is mortified that sho can never truthfully say, "Vory well, thank you I" to tho frequent inquiries concerning her health. Of course among the lower class thero are those who " enjoy poor health," aud who may bo said to " glory in Lheir infirmites "������������������ though hardly in tho Scriptural senso. But this is not tho class to be pitied, except as we have compassion for any poor, ignorant creature with distorted views of life. ,' But she who needs sympathy is tho refined, educated woman who would bo well if she could, and who keeps much of her discomfort to herself. She is lhaukfuL thatshe(,is not confined to her bed, to her room, or even to the houso, As tho phrase is, " She can go about like other people." Like other people I But, oh, with what a difference l Whero others awake refreshed iu the morning, sho drags herself from her bed with a prayer for physical strength to bear her bravely through the hours that must intervene before she can ugain lay hor weary body down. Where others attack work with joy, she spurs or whips herself on to perform, it so satisfactorily that nobody may suspect how hard it is for her. She often works with a pel severance and a nervous conscientiousness that, her task accomplished, leave her vvith flushed cheeks, shortened breath, and trembling hands. "Just a little nervousness," she explains laughing. Or, when urged to participate in somo pleasure, she excuses herself with the plea that she is " a little tired." Ah how tired only God. njid, she know I Perhaps it those she Loves knew all, Ihey would not .speak as did a good woman to such a never-ioally-ill. but never-well sistor. "I declare, Emma," sho exclaimed, in her enoigetic way, " it would be a comfort to see you once when you did not look tired I It must be a regular nuisance to be forever worn out I It is bad enoulgh to see you feel like that it must be worce to bo the victim. Oh, I wish you wero well I" with a final outburst of impatience.

The general idea thai blushing is duo to fullness of blood|.in=therbrain is incorrect���������according to tho new ���������theory of a French export. It arises from the relaxation of the arteries, of face,'neck and b.'easl, thus allowing an extra quantity of blood to rush to the skin. Thoso arteries, have in their walls a layer of rings of muscular fiber, which contract or relax according to tho condition of the patient, und so permit the arteries to become more or less full of blood. Wheu they aro extra full which occurs in weakness, the patieuL blushes. - Blushers are more liable to redden in damp or stormy weather than in the cold days of winter or tho hot days of summer. If this glowing of the face were -.'the-result' of emotion, why this differencei If it be due to weakness, the fact assumes the appearance of probability. ������������������,,-���������.':������������������.'. Thoro are two closely, allied causes of blushing. One is named " ereutho- phobla,'" that is the ordinary cause��������� weakness, and tha extreme sensitiveness and other conditions oaused by it.' The other is designated "erythrophp- bia," and is the. fear that ono will blush unconsciously at awkward moments. The-latter is a peculiar form of the disease." The individual in question, although hot given to blushing becomes gradually possessed with a fear that he will do so at some inopportune time, and this fear grows upon him until it completely masters him and makes him grow red in the face when there, is not the slightest reason for it. ' ���������'- . ���������.." '"j-. ������������������' '- At-the most simple question the color rises and he is" placed in the most absurd situatiou. He is looked upon with suspicion, because other people accept his confusion as consciousness of guilt, he recognizes the fact, and, of course, his condition grows worse. Weakness is responsible in this case also, for the deplorable state of things, for when Lhe sufferer is taken in hand and gets " braced up," he smiles at his former fears. . It must be a very strong emotion that causes a flush to come to the face of a really healthy man or woman. Whatever they may feel they will not show it .any more than they will show fear when confronted by great danger. In tlie latter case thero is no doubt about the danger; it is fully understood that there may be a feeling of fear within, but it is not shown by Lhe face. A similar remark applies to the sense of shame under reproach. That feeling will not be betrayed by a blush, because the individual is not afflicted by the disease. very recently���������buL thoir conclusions have boon dispuled by other scientists, and not ono of them, lias won the support of such a weighty body as the London Pathological Society. DR. LACK'S THEORY. Lambert Lack, whose name bids fair to become as famous as that of Puateur, is honorary surgeon to tho Golden Square Throat Hospital, one of the most noted institutions,of its scope in the world. For a long time ho has been investigating'the origin of malignant growths, with particular attention to cancer. Holding wilh tho accepted soienlifio opinion.that cancer was the result of a gorm, ho nevertheless worked along lines radically different from thosfc pursued by the majority of investigators in this fiold. Aftor a series of tests covering sov- eral years, ho discoveied that the dreaded disease invariably began with an injury of a particular characLor Lo what is known as tho basemenL mem- bruue of the mucous membrane aud its allied structures. Having arrived at this imporlant truth, ho set to work to produce cancer iu the lower animals, and succeeded. NO CURE FOR IT' YET. To produce a disease at will is the first step toward finding the cure for is���������such is tho paradox on "which the entire fabric of bacteriology rests. Ilenco it is reasonable to expeot that in a short time Dr. Lack will bo in a position to give Lhe world a serum for the' cure of cancer and Lhus tako rank among tho immortal benefactors of the human species. r < Like a true scientist he hastened to present his discovery to mankind. Nc sooner did ho consider that his tests were'conclusive' than he submitted Lhe whole thing to a select commiLtee of the London Pathological Society. And now Lhe society itself has declared its conviction that Dr. Lack ban disclosed that secret for which savants have been groping over since mon first began to enquire into the nature of disease. ..CANCER A MYSTERY. During, the ..'past: quarter of' a century, while medical science has been marching forward'- nobiy in other branches; it has been at a standstill so far as the knowledge of cancer was i concerned. The primary, cause of this . horrible disease was amystery as deep as Lhe origin of, life itself. Surgery, on the other-hand, has progressed wonderfully in its.'..relation to cancer, and in the surgeon's,knife has rested the only hope of those afflicted. It;;'is only a few months since Dr; Bra, of Paris, believed that he had isolated the oancer germ, which was described as a parasite of the fungoid type. This alleged discovery, was dig-, credited, however, by the learned: Pro?'; feasor Curtis, of Lille.' - ���������..,���������"'��������� WOOL FROM STONE. ADJUNCTS OF DRESS. Never wear'a pad at tho backiunder a plain-fitting dress-skirt, as it will make an unsightly hump.

It may be turned on in a moment by the mere pressure of the thumb, which when removed extinguishes the light. It is of a convenient, size for carrying about in one's pocket, and would be fine to flash a light on burglars. The charge gives 8,000 flashes, or will burn steadily for- over five hours. It is the most ingenious little novelty for a wedding or birthday present. Director of Census William R. Mer- rlam was educated at a Racine school modelled on English lines.

The air was . sickly with the smell of blistered paint, - the brass-work was fiery hot, and took the skin off tho hand that for a moment unconsciously touched' it; ther. pitch was like putty between the seams; tho fresh water in the scuttle-butts was warm as nowly-drawn milk, but quite without, dairy fragrance. It was time, indeed, for tho wind to blow. The mere detention was nothing in those pleasant times of groping. In cooler chines the mate would have been sat- ��������� isfiod to whistle for wind for a month, and go below every time his walch > was up with.a feeling that he had done everything that was necessary and that all was well. But the heat made an enforced resting-place off the Cuban heights insufferable. It was half-past eight o'olock in tho l������ morning watch; the hands had come ap from breakfast and were distribut- : td on* various jobs about the deck. There was not a breath of air; but there was a run of glassy folds from the south-west, which within the past hour had somewhat increased in weight; and upon these long-drawn hoavings, the ship, that was a mero tub in form, as all vessels were in those days, saving, perhaps, the piratical barco longos, rollod as regularly as a pendulum swings, swelling out her canvas to one lurch, only to bring it in to Lhe masts again at tho next with sounds like the explosions of nine-pound e.rs in tho tops. The captain of the City of Glasgow was a small fiery-faced' man, with deep-set eyes that glowed liked cairngorms under the shaggy thatches of the brows, a noso that not a little re- Bembled a small carrot both in shape and hue, and a mouth with a set of Lho lips that indicated a highly peppory temper. He' walked to tho mate, who stood near tho wheel fanning himself with a great straw hat. "When is this going to end, sir?" " I don't know, sir." " Blood, sir 1 Is there no limit to calms?

" Right astarn," was the answer of the man, swinging with one hand from the tie as he pointed with the other directly ovor the taffrail to the gleaming haze of sea-line thero. " Well," said . the skipper, " that should bo a sign there's wind somewhere about." ' 'It is some craft," said the mate, " that may be bringing a draught of air along with her." " Don't talk of a draught of air, sir," eaid tho captain passionately ; " what we want is wind, sir, a fresh breeze���������a gale���������a howling hurricane, by thunder 1 H'an't we. had enough of cat's- paws? Draught of: air 1" he muttered under.his breath with a look of loathing in his,eyes as he made them moot in a squint upon the compass card. But the mate was right on one aide of his remark at all'events. What the fellow aloft had sighted proved to be a ship climbing the shining slope to the impulse of a breeze; but it was not until her royals were trembling like stars above tho;horizon, with nothing else under them shewing, that tho people of the City of Glasgow caught sight of the line of the wind darkening the waters in the south-west. In half an hour's time it was blowing into the canvas of the West Indiaman, raising a pretty tinkling sound of running waters all around her ; and though it came warm as the human breath yet, after the long spell of hot and tingling calm, it put a sense of coolness into each fevered cheek turned gratefully to the quarter whence it came: If ever the crew of the City of away our colors and keep all fast. Five minutes laLer, tho stranger fired again; but observing .that no notice was taken of Lho summons, sho waited until she was within range, then, yawing, let drive with such good aim as to bring the West Indiaman's mizzen topgallant-mast down with a run. The sight of the wreckage struck a panic into the soul of the little fiery captain. "Down stun'-sails; man.tbo braces!" he roared ; "bring her to, or he'll founder us." la a few moments the. City of Glasgow lay with L^r foretopsail to the mast, docilely waiting for what was to happen. IL was not long before the ship had ranged alongside, and she then proved to be a great fifty-gun man of-war, an Englishman on a "West Indian cruise, with crowds of piglailed heads looking over her bulwarks forward, and a quarter-deck brilliant with the quaint naval uniforms of Ihat day���������if, indeed, it can bo said that any approach to a uniform was then established. A stout man in a cocked-hat, white silk stockings, ��������� handsomely laced coat, and a big white wig, mounting on to the rail of the man-of-war, clapped a ' huge copper speaking-trumpet to his lips and bawled out, "Ship ahoy I What) ship are you ?" The little peppery captain sprang on ten a hencoop and answered. "The City of Glasgow of London, from Havana." "Keep your topsail to tho mast; I'll send a boat," cried the other. "A boat?" cried Lhe little chap, turning to his mate. "What does he want to- send a boat for? Docs he question my papers ?���������Zounds! if there be any sort of ��������� law still agoing in the old country, I'll make him pay for that mess up there;" and be sent a fiery glance at his' topgallant-mast. The boat plunged from the man- of-war's side; a crowd of sturdy fellows armed to the teeth, jumped into her; a young marine exquisite, with a hanger on his hip, and a cambric pocket-Zhandkerchief in his breast, his laced hat airily cocked upon his head, and a flash of jewels upon his fingers, took his place (in the stern- sheets, and with a few 'sweeps of Lhe long o*ars, tho boat was alongside. The dandy lieutenant stepped aboard. "Why did you not heave to," he exr claimed in an affected drawl, "when you were summoned by our cannon 1" "How did I know what you fired for?" cried the irritable captain. ','Look how you've seived me;" and he pointed aloft. " 'Pon honour 1" exclaimed the lieutenant, "you deserve that we should have sunk you." He applied the scented pocket-handke ��������� ef to his nose, as though he coui not support the smell of the hot pilch and blistered paint rising into the atmosphere from' off the Indiaman, and exclaimed in a voice as if he should swoon, "Muster your men, sir, and for tho Lud's sake be quick about it." The little captain fully understanding the significance of this order, was about to remonstrate, hut seemed to change his mind on catching the glance that-was shot at him from under the seemingly sleepy lid of the languid, perfumed sea-dandy, and repeated the lieutenant's order to his mate, turning sulkily on his heels afterwards, and starting off into a sharp fiery walk betwixt the binnacle and the inizzeh rigging. The, boatswain's pipe shrilled to the silent; hollows of the canvas aloft; the men stood along, the deck, and the lieutenant with six armed seamen at his back fell to picking, and choosing. The man-of-war wanted twenty men to complete her complement, and of, these the Indiaman must' contribute ten. There was no help for it; and the little, captain had presently the mortification to witness ten of his best seamen descend the side with their bundles and bags and enter the boat, which forthwith carried thean aboard the fifty-gun ship. One of these ten men was a tall handsome young fellow, whom no one who had before known him could have failed instantly to recognize as .Jeremy York, spite of his assumption of the name of Jem Marloe, of his long hair being cut short in front and rolled! into a tail down his back, and of t'he hue of it, that had been a sunny auburn, being now whitened as though dusted with powder. He was the second of the ten men to step on board. It was not only that he was the most fixed upon one of these sailors; his bundle fell from his hand, his face turned to a deathlike white, shiver after shiver chaaod his form, they saw his fingers convulsively working, and his eyes, filled with" horror, dismay, inoredulity, seemed to start from their sockets with the intensity of his stare. They oelieved he was seized with a fit and would fall to the deok in a minute ; and amongst those who sprang to his assistance waa the fellow on whom his gaze was riveted. Ho shrieked out at his approach, and fell upon one kneo trembling violently, swaying to and fro, to and fro with his hands pressed to his eyes in tho posture of ono wild almost to madness. "Is tho man ill?" bawled a lieutenant from the quarter-deck. " If so, bear him, below, and let^the surgeon attend him." York staggered on to his legs, and looking at the man at first sight of whom he had appeared to have fallen crazy, he cried, in a weak, faltering voice. " Your mame is Worksop? You were bo'sun of a West Indiaman." Tho other, full of amazement, with a slow bewildered stare at York and then round upon his shipmates, answered in a hurricane'note, "That's so: I ain't ashamed. My name's Worksop, and I was bo'sun of a West Indiaman. as yo say." " Look at me 1" cried York. " O man, look at me I What have I suffered through you 1 Do not you remember me?" ��������� . I Anyone would have laughed outright to have witnessed the perplexity that lengthened yet the longdrawn countenance of Worksop. '" " What's all this ?" cried the lieutenant in charge of the deck, coming forward angrily. " Sir," shrieked York. " I. have been hanged for the murder of that man I" " Mad, by Heaven 1" cried the lieutenant, sunstroke, no doubt. Take tha poor devil0 below, and see to, him." " Sir," cried York, clasping his hands, " I beg you to listen to me one minute. I am not mad indeed. Mr. Worksop there will remember that one night more than "eight months ago he gave me a share of his bed at an inn at Deal called the Lonely Star.", Worksop started and looked intently at the speaker. " I quitted the bed to get some water ; when 1 returned, my- companion was gone. Blood was found in the bed; there, were bloodstains down the staircase, along the roadway to the beach; there was blood upon my^.shirt, although as God is my witness. I know not how it came there. They found his knife upon me, which I had taken from his pocket whilst he slept to prise open the door with; and also a gold coin belonging to him they found, though how I came by it, I vow, before Heaven, I know not; and on this evidence they hanged me!" He faltered, hid his face, and fell to the deck in a dead faint. " Hanged him, hanged him for me I" shouted Worksop in the voice of a man about to suffocate. "Hangedhim for roe I" he repeated. " But, lor' bless my soul and body I I was never murdered, mates I" and in- a very ecstasy of astonishenmt, he hooked an immense quid out of his cheek, and flung it overboard. " Bally this poor . fellow, some of you," exclaimed the lieutenant, 'and hastened aft to the captain to make his report. A bucket of cold water topped with a dram of rum served to restore York to consciousness; and when he had his wits, he and Worksop were conducted by "a midshipman to the captain's cabin. "What is all this?" inquired the gray- haired commander, levelling a piercing glance at York, as though he made up his'mind to be confronted by a madman. "D'ye mean to tell us that you've been hanged for the murder of yonder seaman alongside of you?" "Yes,- "sir; I've been hanged as his murderer;" and thus breaking tho silence, York proceeded. He told his story in good language, plainly and intelligently, with an occasional.catch of his breath and a sob or two when he spoke of his sweetheart. "You were hanged," cried the commander, watching him with a fascinated countenance, for the corroborative looks and nods of AVorksop as York delivered his tale had soon abundantly satisfied the captain that the poor young follow was speaking the truth��������� "you were '' hahp������.d," he repeated,, "strung up by you neck in the. customary style, I siipr^e, and left to dangl" *������������������!��������� the usual time, you are alive!" ! ���������":.

"Years ago I was a rover in Australia,'.' said a former member of the dramatic profession, "and I dallied for u while with tho dramatic muse, and somewhat successfully. Then, metaphorically speaking, I piped on oaten straw, like the Arcadian shepherd, and dropped money in wool. Then I delved in the mines for the dross of gold, and didn't find any. At last I made a fortunate strike in tallow, nnd for a time revelled in the charms of nature and learned to bunt the kangaroo. I learned a good many things about kangaroos.that are not in the books���������for instance, that the bushinen trained kangaroos to be horse and cattle thieves, kidnappers, highway robbers and the like. I say I learned that, but perhaps I had better say that the good people I mot during my career as a gentleman sportsman in Australia told me such was the case. I nover had any ocular proof that there were kangaroo cattle thieves or kangaroo highway robbers, but 1 shall believe in kangaroo horse thieves und kidnappers until my dying day. I'll toll you why. "While I was living this life of a gentleman sportsman I was quartered at a little settlement at Boort Run, right in the kangaroo country. To hunt kangaroos seems almost like going out to run down and maul the life put of a few of your decent relatives, but '��������� THE KANGAROO HUNT was the chief recreation of the gentleman sportsman in Australia' the time I was there, and as I had become a member of that order of citizens, after making my pile in tallow". I, of course, had to hunt kangaroos. You hunt kangaroos on horseback, and you have to sit on your horse like a star circus rider, too, or you will never hunt kangaroos more than once. You are apt to be lassoedl out of your saddle and left hanging by your neck at the end of some drooping vine aa you pass through the country, and if you keep your seat as your horse dashes over n stretch of ground made picturesquely irregular by a million big ant hills, you stand a chance of being tipped out of it Into an adjoining tract of down timber and treated to a run across country with your foot in the stirrup and your head playing shinny wiili logs and boulders. Then, when you get into a nob of kangaroos������������������half a dozen or so "kangs" together make a nob���������you may havo the luck to tackle what they call a regular up-aud-up boomer, and if you do���������well, say I If you do, you will begin to have your doubts about your caring to be a gentleman sportsman in Australia. An up-pnd-up bocmier, or a bloomin' old mun, as some call him, is a leader iu a nob of kangs, and there's more fight in him than there is in a barrel of Sixth ward rum. If tho bloomin' old man gets the squeeze on you and is inclined to stop the fight right there and then, he'll put on the piessureand crack your-bones as you would crush a soft-shell almond. "It isn't sportsmanlike to bag your kangaroo with a gun. Your weapon is a short but heavy club, and, as you charge your game, tho object is to deliver a blow with the club that will neatly break lhe kangaroo's neck.

A parrot, in a remote country district, escaped from its cage and settled on the roof of a laborer's cottage. When it had been there a.little time the laborer caught sight of it. He had never seen such a thing before, and after gazing in admiration at the bird, with its curious beak and beautiful plumage, he fetched a ladder and climbed1 up it with' the view of securing so great a prize. When his head reached the level of the roof the parrot flapped a wing at him and said; AVhat d'ye want? Very much taken aback, the laborer politely touched his cap and replied: I beg your pardon, sir ; I thought you were a bird J i rather the form of a pursuit, for, when i first seen, she was apparently head- to the north-west; but scarcely had the West Indiaman to the first of the breeze trimmed yards for the northeast, than the stranger was observed to also haul her wind. The fiery little captain did not like It. Whai was she? A Spaniard ? A JTrenchman ? A Dutchman ? He packed ���������>������ on studding-sails, but to no.purpose, for the fellow astern came along hand ously about them, savagely resentful of this impressment and of their liberty as merchant seamen being abruptly ended without regard to wages, to cherished hopes, to their homes, their wives, their sweethearts, their children ashore. A number of the ship's crew stood near ,the mainmast watching the new hands as they went forwards marshalled by the boatswain. On n sudden Jeremy York was seen to,'come to a dead stand with his eyes A young doctor and a girl of nineteen committed suicide in a Vienna hotel, having first bequeathed their jewelry; which they declared was " imitation," to the chambermaid who attended them. The latter cared so little for the trinkets that she bestowed them upon a friend. The friend has discovered that the jewelry is genuine, and worth almost ������5.000. The chambermaid has begun suit'for the recovery of the gifts, declaring that they were .given away under a misapprehension of their value. It requires a.good deal of skill and dexterity to strike the right spot and at the same time guard yourself against the assaults of the kangaroo, for he has his eye on the chance of. getting in a blow on. you that may send you sprawling from your horse. "1 got so that I could handle the club, and the horse pretty well on a kangaroo hunt, and rather liked the exciting sport until ono day I ran foul of a kang that was following a life of outlawry, and that spoiled me for kangarooing. A party of us had gone up the run five or six miles kangarooing. We had five dogs and ran suddenly into a nob of seven kangaroos. The leader of the nob was the up-and-uppest boomer, the bloomin'- est old. man I had ever seen except a Lame kangaroo that, belonged at the settlement, and that tame kangaroo beat anything, they said, that had j even been seen in Australia. It was taken when only a few days old and grew to an enormous size, and had the run of the settlement, and the whole country, for that matter. Everybody knew Danny Dee, as the big tame kang was called, and Danny seemed to know everybody nnd everything. When I saw the big leader, of this mob rise before me, I couldn't help but think that he might be Danny Dee's brother. He rose to receive the attack of threo of our dogs, and he stood not less than eight feet high. He gathered in each one of thoso three dogs as they sprang at him and laid them down in one, two, three order, without a whole bone among them.. This bloomin' old man seemed not only willing but anxious to join in a general fight with us. One of our party killed his kangaroo, but all the rest of the nob except the boomer fled to the bush. There were three of us hunt- era, and we all charged apon the boomer, the two remaining dogs having followed lhe fleeing nob. I can't tell you how it was done, but that big kangaroo yanked my two companions out of their saddle as QUICK AS A FLASH, and away their frightened hors������s went over the plain. Their unseated riders followed them, and I was left alone to have it out with the bloomin' old man. "Say, he didn't wait to take breath, but leaped on me and grabbed ma round the waist before I could play my"club,.but he hadn't got his squeeze on mo when I brought my club down on his head. That staggered him and forced him Lo loosen his hold on me and tumble from tho horse, but he took with him half of one trousers leg and a big chunk of skin from my thigh. He had no sooner struck the ground than he sprang and caught the horsa around tho neck, and was effectively shutting off the poor boast's wind when 1 pounded the kang loose with my club. It seemed to me that old boomor was just more than enjoying tho fight, and it struck me that he had an object in all he was doing beyond the simple fact of wanting to win tho fight. Failing in his attempt to choke the horse to death, he drew.off a few paces, looked me and the horse over, and at once made up his mind. He came toward me with a tremendous bound, and as I raised my club to meet him with a blow he feinted and landed on the horse behind me. Before I could move a muscle he had my arms pinioned to my sides as if they wero in a vise. I suppose, from the way the horse sprang backward, that the kang stuck his claws in tho horse's flank*. At any rate, away over tho plain we. went like the wind, headed for the bush. At first I struggled to free myself, but I found that Lhe more I struggled the tighter grew the clattp of the kangaroo on my ribs, until I was afraid he would squeeze the life out of me if I didn't quit, so I quit. "On we went, deeper and deeper into the dense bush, and further away from succor at every bound. Then it struck me all at once that I was in the clutch of a - kidnapper kangaroo, the trained agent of some savage tribe of bushmen, although up to that moment I had rather doubted what had been told me as to the way bushmen induced kangaroos to become outlaws in various lines. With this prospeot, before me I made up my mind I might as well be killed trying to free myself from the kangaroo as lo wait until tha bUBhmen fell foul of me, and I began to struggle more desperately than ever, and SHOUT-LOUDLY FOR HELP, although I hadn't the least idea there was any suoii thing as help within ten miles. "When I began to struggle the boomer began to squeeze, and as I kept on struggling, he had pretty nearly "squeezed the .breath out of me, and there isn't any doubt but that the next hitch he would have tightened on me would have cracked me in two. But that hitch never came. All lean remember about it is that I saw a giant rise ahead of us, a little to one side of the horse, grab the bridlo and fetch us all up a-standing. I felt the boomer release his hold on me and beard him drop from the horse. The giant at the hor-so's head dropped the bridle, and when 1 turned my head to see what all the commotion was I saw two gigantic kangaroos in combat. The combat was short. One kang lay stretched lifeless on the ground. The other turned and came toward me. I almost fell out of my saddle, for who should it be but Danny Dee, the giant lame kangaroo of Boort Riun settlement. Happily for me he had been on one of his strolls that day, and happened along in the bush just as that kidnapping boomer was rushing me to his destination. Danny recognized the hoVse and me, knew what "the "trouble was, and that was enough. He stepped into the rescue, and healt out vengeance with a merciless hand. Danny led the way back to the settlement, and when I told how he had saved me from being kidnapped ho was a bigger Hon than ever. But that it was a fact that kangaroos were thus corrupted and turned into ways of crime saddened me, and I never went kangarooing after that." , .
