an animal is attacked with bloat, the best, quickest, surest, one may Pay infallible, remedy is a stick about iS inches long and as thick us one's wrist.When a cow is attacked she should immediately be put into the stanchion, or tied up an that she can be handled.The stick is then forced crosswise into her mouth.It is kept in its place, like a bit iz a horse\u2019s mouth, by a cord attached to one end of the stick and passed over the neck just behind the horns ond fastened to the other end, The cow will immediately begin to struggle with the tongue to get rid of the stick and simultaneously will begin to throw the wind up from the stomach.[n ten to fifteen minutes the animal will be well.Before using this remedy, we lost many cattle from bloat.Now, none are lost.Rounds in the Farm Ladder.You should always makeit a point to save ss much labor as possible on the farm, and wbout the barns.Don\u2019t have your granary or feed bins on the second floor, unless you .have a small elevator to raise and lower the torn, oats and ground feed.I know of dairymen who will keep their hired help lugging grain and feed up stairs hours at a time when the work could have been accomplished ina few moments if the building had been 80 constructed as to save labor.fitably spent at other farm work and a lot of human strength needlessly expended have been husbanded.In feeding corn to a large drove of swine we saw a farmer throw the ears of grain into the same old muddy rut for the hogs to eat from.If he had selected a new place on the turf occasionally for the feeding table, the swine would not have got quite so much mud in their stomachs with their corn, and considerable grain that was stamped into the mire wouid have been saved.if you have so much straw that a portion of it will be unused and rot down this winter, why not give the swine the benefit of it?À warm burrow of straw under shelter sufficient for the hogs to cover up out of sight in it, will eave nearly a third of their winter's feed.Ihave tried it, and that is the way it worked with me.A calf that stands in a big cold stable all day, bleating and pulling at a halter, is not on the high road to make a flourishing heifer, or a prosperous cow.The poor calf is not to blame, but her shiftless owner is, and her lactesl failure as a cow is on his head.The importance of keeping all domestic animals in warm snug quarters during fall and winter, is too great to be neglected in the least.One of the most handy utensils about a farm and barnyard is a wheelbarrow whose wheél bas a broad tire.The common narrow tire on a barrow wheel cuts into the soft ground so that it makes it a very hard vehicle to propel.I have noticed that on many farms the Plymouth Rock and Leghorn hens are rapidly degenerating into dunghill fowls.The reason of this because they got their living off of the barnyard dunghill, and roost on the reaper, mowing-machine and Lay-rake that are stored under a neighboring shed.\u201cOur heme don\u2019t lay\u201d is the universal complaint on such farms, and they never will as long as they receive no mure care than the doves that fluster about the barnyard.Do you fully realize that wagons that are left standing uncovered through a storm, are damaged moze by the wetting than by three months of ordinary decent usuage?Even where wagons are comparatively naw the paint soon wears off from the felloes, and the soaking the felloss get where the spokes fit into them starts decay of the wood very quickly.Moral, always keep \u2014 the Wagon under cover when not in nse, even if it does not look like rain.I hear a great deal about hired men going on and using their own judgment in conducting their master\u2019s farm work.The plan may seam quito smart when viewed superficially, but I am radical enough to doubt ite good policy.The very best of hired men work for wages, and however good their judgment in going ahead with the farm work, it is not the judgment of thn owners of the land.If you expect even decent profit from your land and dairy, you must personally supervise the details of the work.You must lay your plans with sagacity and from experience, And teli your hired hand what to do, and not depend upon him to tell you.Don\u2019t ever buy a cow or plant à cro unless you expect to make at least a little money by it.Many farmers have financially run into the nd through fancy or experimental cultivation of the soil.As en example, I knewea farmer once who sowed a large pisse of oats without dragging them in following out the crazy idea of some agricultural expdrements.Of course he lost the use of his land, and labor too, hen you experimen jo so on à very shall sale, aad then be guided by the rest made, I passed @ farm two days ago where I + wea told that the owner was making lots - of mowey, but was patting itall in his meant that he was letting farm improvements all go to the dogs, distrusted banks, snd overy dollar he onuld scrape off from his land Ge added to the hoard he cer:ied on his n In other words, like the person cited in the bible, he buried his one talent.How did his farm look?Well, it Jour.The buildings were actualy crumbing to pieces, and the fences were marked by a hedge of bushes and briers, through which here and there penetrated a decayed post with a piece of rusty barbed wire cimging to it.The owner of this farm was à parasite on agriculture, and sp is every one like him.No man who holds a plow can benefit good farming or benefit himself unless he \u2018\u201ckeeps up'\u2019 ths premises and tho fertility of tie soil.Farmparasites, who are misers, are a curse tu agriculture.Seme farmers never cut down a tree in the open field unless they grub the stump out.If thisis contemplated, the best and easiest way to grub the stump is to cut the r00ts loose b fore the tree is folled, aud the falling tree, especially in a strong wind scting as a lever, will do half of the stump pulling.I have eaten meals at many hotels and boarding houses, but never yet sat down to a board that suited me so well as à typisal farmer's table, The reason is that the food eaten by average farmers and their families possesses the highest degree of wholesomeness of that eaten by any class of laboring people.The reason that we hear of so few farmers dropping dead of $poplexy and kiodred diseases, is that, unlike the exclusive business men, their brains are not overwrought by speculative strife, that may make them rich to-day ; and ruined to-morrow, A wise and industrious farmer shculd be a king of healthg Possessing just as much mental capacity ag his brother apeculator, he does not, lik pocket Wheat was meant by this statement?bu t looked as if it had been deserted for teu\u2019 almost at once comnsen

decided sour taste, others say thas the cream should be churned as soon as it begins to turn sour.This latter plan ! have found does not give a full yield of utter.Souring can be detected before the cream thizkens and until thickening has taken lgce, churnine will invarisbly result in the oes of butter fat, By cooling separated cream rapidly after separation, keeping ata temperature of 55° Fahrenheit, and then churning at that temperature one may get s very fair butter yield from only slightly ripened cream, I have found using various kinds of cream churns, that it is not sufficient to churn sweet cream at 55 © Fahrenheit, the cream after separation must be cooled at once and keptat or below 55 © Fahrenheit, the whole time before churning.This is the usual practice in factories where cream is bandled by the ton.Although no ripening at all involves a deficiency in flavor and a low of batter fat ; it is equally unwise to allow cream to become over-ripe As the development of too great an amount of acidity in cheese-making will cause a loss of fat in the whey, so the same cause in over-ripe cream may result in a buttermilk rich in fat.So far us our present knowled ge goes, it would indicate that this excess of lactic acid favors the production of butyric acid, and it is this latter substance which gives the rancid odor to bad butter.Consequently we argue that over-ripe cream should be most carefully and thoroughly weshed, in order to free it as der as possible from all traces of lactic acid, A) Death of an Incian Nabob.him, quench the life of his brain by burn ing

Dairy, an English pudlication : Rancidity of butter, aithough more or Jess connected with the life history of the butyric acid bacillus, is, in all probability, more dependent for its intensity upon the amount of lactic asid left in the butter by indifferent washing than upon the actual number of the butyric bacilli contained in it.It is well known among butter factors that samples of butter which have developed rancidity will often alter very little indeed for months afterward, even if kept without preservative, the degree of rancidity having little cunnec- tion with time.The development of rancidity in butter is probably more of a chemical than of a toriological character.If we deal only with well made butter it will be found that long before any rancidity can be detected there will be «a peculiar aroma developed on the surface of the batter exposed to the air, this peculiar aroma being gradually produced by some ( oxidation process, aud existing only in the surface layers.When ranoidity is discernible it is not limited to the outside, but is The Maharajah Dhuleep Singh died from a paralyticstroke in Paris on Monday last.His was a strange experience, He was a son of the famous Runjeet Singh,the Rajah ef the Punjaub, and was born on 1838.Dhuleep was an infant when his father died, and the demoralized state of the regency and army induced the British Ministry to annex the principality under certain conditions, one being that the young Maharajah should receive four lacs of rupees, equivalent to £40,000 sterling per annum.Afterwards the Maharajah became a Christian, took up his abode in Lugland, and was naturalized.His mother, the notorious Ranee, also resided in England until her death 1863, but resisted steadfastly all persuasion to become a convert to Christianity.It was at one time supposed that the Maharajah would take for a wife the Princess Victoria of Coburg; but in 1864 he was ma ried at the British Consulate at Alexandria, to a \u2018young Protestant lady, a British subject.She died in September, 1887 ; and in May, The \u2018of Denmark.He describes it as follows : .1889, he married, in Paris, Miss Ada extra hours thus lost could have

northern districts they are so large that the total amount will not be much below the average, In France the official estimate is that the total production will be 280,000,000 bushels, which is 24,000,000 below that of last year.In Austria and in Hungary the crop is better than last year by about the sume amount that France falls short.In Italy and Spain the yield is about an average.In the greater part of Russia the wheat crop is | reported as very good, and it may be that it will be 40,000,000 bushels in excess of last year.India and Australia are about stationary, The Argentine Republic will have a surplus to export for this year.[In America the wheat crop is officiall estimated at only two-thirds of a full crop for the year, and the result is that the United States has very little more than is required for home consumption and seed.The great deficiency in that country is due to a severe winter, to a wet and cold spring, with intense heat and drought in summer, The scantproduction of wheat this year for the supply of the whole world is not such as to furnish much cause for alarm because the exchanges between different countries will equalize the amount raquired for each nationality.Though the American crop is said to be 144,000,000 bushels less than it was last year, the world\u2019s surplus is 50,000,000 bushels over requirements, and it is thus seen that there is .large margin over starvation or even pinching, and that no one need go hungry ecause he cannot purchase wheat flour in the open market.There will be no famine, bus there 1s no large margin to go upon.À Great Telracopa Tle Bruce photographio telescope, which has so long been in process of construction, at Alvan Clark & Sons, Cambridgeport, will sson be set up at the Cambrilge Observatory, and will probably be in operation in the course of à month, Its completion will mark a new epoch in this branch of science, as it is the largest and is thought to be the most powerful instrument of its kind which has yet been set up.It is ex.ted that with this instrument stars can photographed which have never heen seen through the most powerful visul telescopes.The instrument is superior to the ordinary one, not only in power, but in the expanse of sky which can he taken upon a single plate.The ordinary telescops will cover only about four degrees at à single expraure and as there are 40,000 degrees in the whole expanse of the heavans, 10,000 plates would be necessary for a complete record of their whole area.The new telescope will cover six times the area, and will take the whole heavens in 1,600 photographs.The photographs, when taken, will not only show many hitherto unknown stars, but will be AN ENGISRERIYG PRAT OF RED ANTS 56 Was Almest Achisved When Black Invaders Interrupted Thelr Work.\u201cOne day last summer, at the farm house in northern Oatario where I was staying,\u201d said à Torontouian the other day, \u2018\u2018 one of the hired men brought in from the garden an immense tomato worm and laid it on the front porch for me to look at\u2014a great, fat, | bideous-looking green worm, easily three inches long und as big around as my finger, and with a horn in its snout nearly quarter of an inch in length, While was examining the worm where it lay a big reddish brown ant came up threugh a crack in the floor from somewhere under the porch.The ant was pearly hslf an inch long.There is a black ant common up there also, that is much more powerfully built than the red one, but not so long, end between the two races there is a deadly enmity.*\u201c The red ant came into sight as much as four feet away frem where the dead tomato worm lay, bit I could see by its actiens that it scented the big carcass, just as plain- y as I could have seen by the actions of a og in the field that he had got scent of a bird.The ant ran here and there, to and fre, up and down, stopping every few sec- ends to lift its head as high as it could and moving it about as if to take the wind of its gams, and then resuming its hunt, all the time drawing toward the worm.I guess it must have been three or four minutes he- fore the ant got the direct line of the worm, when about a foot away.Then it dashed STRAIGHT FOR IT, and if ever anything showed surprise, it was that ant when it brought up alongside the big carcass, It stood stock still for at least a quarter of a minute, with its head raised, looking up at the huge proportions of the find it had made, much as a man might if he had come suddenly upon a stzanded whale.[ts first surprise over, the ant ran two or three inches away from the worm, and turned and viewed it from à distance.Then it dashed back and around to the other side of tha carcass, and inspected it there, passing all along it, as if pacing off its length.Then the ant climbed upon the worm and ran over every part of it, even climbing the big horn and taking a survey of the find from the tip of that, aîter which it came dowu to the floor, and struck a bee line for the crack it had come up through aud disappeared in the same open- % \u201cAh !\u2019 said I, laughing to myself, \u2018He ran up against too much of a good thing, and has gone off to kick himself because he couldn\u2019t handle it.\u2019 \u2018But I soon tound out that I didn\u2019t know ants.I looked the tomato worm over for two or three minutes longer, and was about to kick it off of the porch, when I saw the ant suddenly appear again at the crack, followed by two others as big as itselt.Although there was no difference in the appearance of the three ants, there was no mistaking which was the ant that had discovered the dead tomato worm, for it came straight toward it again, in the lead of the other two.When they reached the carcass, and had looked it over, the three ants got their heads together and seemed to be holding a consultation.They evidently agreed on the proper course to pursue, for one of them went tearing back to the place they had come from, while the other two acted as if they were calculating the dimensions and weight of the worm.\u201cThe ant that went back to headquarters, wherever it was, wasn\u2019t long gone,and when he reappeared he was followed by a small army of big red ants.There must have been a hundred or more of them, and they swarmed about the carcass for a while in an apparently aimless and disconcerted way, but presently they got down to business.At first they tried to pull the carcass along bodily by arow of ants getting on cach side and others at the front and rear, but enough could not get a good hold on the worm to make thisa success.\u2018l'hen the ants pas = MASSED THEMSELVES on one side of the carcass and made a grand effort to roll it.They succeeded in turning tue worm over until the big horn struck the floor, and that stuck them again.After frantic rushings about by the body of ants they were got in hand by the ones that were engineering the job, and taking advantage of the horn\u2019s being an obstruction to the moving of that end of the body, they shoved the other end clear around until it lay in the opposite direction, which brought the horn on the side they had first rolled the carcass from.Then they gave the worm another roll, until the horn struck, when they twirled the body around again, and once more had it so they could rol! it as before.In this way they labored patiently and industriously uatil they got the carcass all the way to the crack.Then there was dismay! A grave engineering error had been made.The size of the crack had not been considered in laying the plans for the trawsportation of the worm to the place where they wanted it, and it was many sizes too small to let the great worm pass through.Ants ran frantically up and down the crack its entire length, plainly searching for some possibly sufficient widening of it.Others gathered in excited groups,probably denouncing the stupidity of the engineers who had madesuch a terrible blunder.The ant nest was evidently uuder the porch,and there was no way to get anything as large as the worm to it except by the opening between the ground and the floor at one end of the porch.The only way to get to that was to go down off of the porch by two steps and follow a narrow plank walk alon one side of it for ten feet to the open end, I hadn\u2019t the slightest idea that the ants would attempt such a journey with tho ponderous worm, but I tound again that I didn\u2019t know ants, \u2018\u2018In two or three minutes the excitement among the disappointed ants quieted down, and they got together for business again, After a consultation they must have come to the conclusion that it was too fatiguing à task to move the worm in the way they had moved it to the crack, and they adopted new and .MOST SURPRISING TACTIOS, I saw first one ant, then another, and then a score or more of ants foros their way under tho carcass until it began to rise from the floor and was at last entirely clear of it, resting on the backs of the ants that had one by one wedged themsulves beneath it.Then the big carcass to move, carried on the backs of two parallel rows of ants! The rest of the army marched slong ss an escort, and, as I found out, as à relief corps for the detachment bearing th burden, pe * ng the \u2018The steps that lei from the porch te the plank walk were within a foot of the spot where the carcass of the worm had been found by the skirmishing ant, and se they had to come back all that distance to carry out their new plan, The burden was borne along in a steady march, and so rapidly that it was ina very short time brought to the edge of the porch at the steps, where it was put down.The ans came out from beneath it and the carcass was quickly tumbled over the edga to the first step, carried to the edge of thas and tumbled\u201d to the second, snd then to the walk.There a detachment of the army took up the lead in the way it had been done before, and the march ed along the walk toward the open end of the oro! Half way down the walk the urden carriers put it down and another detachment relieved them and the march was resumed.\u201cThe caravan had proceeded but a short distance further, though, when a panic seemed to strike the group of ants that formed the advance guard.They began running excitedly to and fro, and the panic spread to the entire force, The army halted, and the burden ants came running out from beneath the body of the worm, and it rolled aver on the walk.I soon discovered that this excitement had been caused b the appearance of a big black ant, whic had come skirmishing up the walk and come face to face with the saravan of red ants.The black antsare the deadly and DREADED FOES of the red ants, and the sudden appssrano of this one had caused all the alarm.the red ants had been as good seldiers as they were engincers they would have avoided the disaster that overtoek them, for the would have at once made the solitary blac ant a prisoner, and the dire result that ollowed his movements would not hive een.\u201cUpon seeing the advance guard of the red ants the lack ant turned and dashed back down the walk.He followed it a couple of yards, and then disappeared at one side of it.The panic that this ant had thrown the red onea in lasted so long that they had not recovered from it for some time after the black ant disappeared, They then resumed their march as befere, and I could see that it was a more rapid one and that there was much more umeasiness in the army.And there was meed to be, for before the ants had reached the end of the porch where they were to turn off to go under it, up the walk, on the deuble quick, came a horde of black ants, an army as large as the forces of the red ants, if not larger.The latter were quickly surrounded by the blacks, and in less than a minute fell victims to their foes.Idon\u2019t think one of them escaped.The more powerful black ants seemed to have no difficulty in dragging the carcass ot the worm away, and in a short time they had disappeared with their plunder in their nest down the walk, every member of their army that was not required in handling the worm gacrying the body of à red ant home with im.femme France and Russian.The exuberant demonstrations made by the French in the reception of the Russian naval officers at Toulon is a curious phase of human nature.The Russians no doubt have a regard for the French.All educated men in Russia, speak the French language.The ladies copy French fashions, the families employ French cooks, and there are other methods of French origin, for which the Russians have shown a marked partiality.But for the Fronch themselves and for their political system, the governing powers in Russia have a hearty contempt, and if such things were now possible, we fancy the ezar would like to copy the practices of his predecessors, aud put down by torce this practicalillustration of popular government, In theevent ofa great European war, Russia would nodoubtlike to have French assistance in much the same manner that in the eighteenth century Frederick the Great made use of French support, that is, avail ing himself of it when it served his purposes and throwing the Fremch over when he thought he could gain his purposes by playing a single hand.One would suppose that an understanding\u2014for it can hardly be termed an alliance\u2014between parties with such divergent views would be made in a cool manner, and that neither side would cherish illnsions.The Russians certainly do not fall into this error ; but the demonstrations of welcome and friendship poured upon the Russian representatives \u2018now in France make it clear that a very conmder- able number of the French people are carried away by beliefs which have little foundation in fact.= \u2014\u2014 The Royal Niger Company.The Royal Niger company, operating in Central Africa, has at its head Lord Aberdeen, Canada's present Governore(ieneral.The company possesses about half a million square miles of the finest part of the continent, but is just now having considerable difficulty with French rivals, Lord Aber- dare has recently been explaining their difficulties in the London Times.In his last letter, which was called forth by Mr.H.M, Stanley\u2019s proposal that East Africa shouldbe developed in the interest of Wales, Lord Aberdare points out that the Niger company\u2019s sphere of influence comprises native cities of 100,000 inhabitants, and that one of these, Kukw, is called the Manchester of the Dark Continent from its manufactures and trade.The region of which Kuka is the centre he qualifies as civilized\u2014the population being mainly composed of Moslem.The Royal Niger company was chartered on the 10th of July, 1886.The population of which it has oversight numbers about 20,000,000.On the Gulf of Guinea it has a coast line of 120 miles, The Kingdom of Borgon is within its jurisdiction.The capital is Asaba.The troops, chiefly Houssas under English officers, are in charge of Major Ewart.The chief products are rubber, ums, hides, ivory, palm oil and palm ernels.While the river Delta is unhealthy, the inland portions are salubricus enough, : \u2014\u2014 A The Americans sought to obtain the re- ord for fast Atlantio passages by purchas - ing the ships of the Inman Company and lacing them under American management, At the present moment the Yankees seen to be completely out of the race, as the two lines which are struggling fer Supremacy re British, MY FATHER'S FRIEND, BY HARKLEY HARKER.\u201cYour father and I were air, long before you were born.\u201d 8 public reception, and the the Se nll it stood We were at old man who hand of a y oan ger man, office, date for high \u2018\u2018Indeed ?\u201d I overheard the reply.And he turned with more than pass.\u201c\u2018Any man whom my is confidence and high 4 with compound in.in ourdiality fath terest 1\u201d It mast be old the \u201cCan it be what would h er honored with h regard shall have mine, man's life to friend advanced ears, the litile te his friend's household it Were yesterday, and talked about.to say : anim to high possible ?is father bave given to live to see what I ses now ?the oung man, his father\u2019s linea;

settlement, Bot the missionary enterprise, comes to be written, the records of the laat two deoades of this century will be principally devoted to the doings of three men, namely, H, M.Stanley, Dr, Carl Peters, and Emiy Pasha.Stanley has begun the stuiy cf British poli tics, and _has already fought aud lost an eiection.Ensin Pasha is reported to Lave been killed and eaten by some hungry Afri- Dr.Carl Peters d the register of the Queen's hotel was this entry : \u201cDr, Peters, Uerman- Africa,\u201d and a reporter of the Mail i in locating the man whose actions once or twice, very nearly involved ritain and Germany in war.Whoever has seen the portrait of the explorer in the illustrated papers would have no difficulty in Picking him out even in a crowded hotel corridor, He was most affable, and readily granted an interview, on answer to uestions, Dr.Paters said he organized the German Colonization Society in 1884, à charter for which was granted bh Emperor William L, who acted on the ad, vice of Princs Bismarck.Immediately the charter wag received Dr, Peters: proceeded ion, and opposite Zanzibar began his work.His staff consisted of two officers and two non-conmissioned officers of the German army, and bis first duty was to organize and equip a force of native soldiers, Havin got his small arm ready the work of gan, of discovery, but for business Ptirposes exclusively, many adventures and several angry discussions with the British Consul at Zun- zibar, Dr, Peters returned to Germany in 1836, consulted with the members of the society, and received increased powers from exploration be- the Government, Returning to Africa towards the latter part of 188) he immediately commenced an extension of German influence in the *¢ Dark Continent.\u201d So critical did the position of aflairs between Britain and Germany over the claims of the two nations in Africa become, that debates Were raised on the subject in the Parlin.ments of both countries, but eventually cers tain arrangements were made by which peace was secured, and on the 25 of J uly, this year, Dr.Peters and Consul Smith, Britain's representative in Zanzibar, completed a treaty at Barlin which settles the territorial questions between the two Km.pires so far as Africa is concerned, EUROPEANS IN AFRICA, What is your opinion of Africa as a place or European settlers ?A tropical country is never a success for settlers from Europe.Africa has immense possibilities for trade, so immense that we cannot realize them, but Europeans cannot do hard work there except in certain well- defined districts, White men going to Africa must goas masters or not at all.You went in search of Emin Pasha, doc- r?Oh, yes, I did, from 188$ to 1590, and I found him.You know when Iwas on that search it was reported I had been killed, and many Papers wrote my obituary.Vhen I feel low-spirited I read the many kind things they said about me when they thought I was dead.Do you think Emin Pasha is dead Low ?e may be, but all the stories about his death vary =o that it does not convince me, In fact, 1 fay expect to hear of his ap- arance in some unexpected place.There Ave been so many different stories about his death that I am a little skeptical, id you prefer to fight the natives rather than make treaties with them ?No, no, although I am put down as a firebrand and one always ready to fight, I am misrepresented.I never fight if I can possibly avoid it, but 1 always take care to strike a sharp and decisive blow when I have to fight, My followers were mostly Soudanese and as my band was very small Was more frequently attacked than if I had had a larger force, ave you traversed much of Africa ?I have travelled over 6,000 miles, but as my business was colouization, and not ex- pioration, I did not travel merely for discovery.I surveyed the Tana district, which is now a British possession, The ane river is a magnificent stream, navigable for over 240 miles, Then 1 went all over the Kilimandsharo, or Snow Mountain kingdom Ave you seen much of Uganda, Mashon- aland, or Matabele Land?I havo seen a good deal of them, ail three, Uganda reminds me of our own Thuringia, mountain and valley, wood'and and fertile plains, Mashonaland and Matabele Land are also rich and valuable territories, and Britain will not be likely to let go an inch of either.The Matabele have no chance of doing sven temporary injury to British prestige or British Property in Africa, Ia there much chance for Canadian trade with Africa?I cannot say.German trade we desire, and Britain will seek her own interest there, but Afriea will be an immense field for trade, and that very soon, too, ABOUT HIMSELF.What is your opinion of Stanley ?1 met Stanley recently, but Ido not wish to talk of him or his work.It would not be polite.The traveller did not care to enter énto the story of his personal adventures, but admitted he had fought 11 duels in Germany, nine with the sword and two with pistols.Were any of those duels fought recent.?No, I have not had any duels since I have been in Africa, I am old now, and I hope I have more sense than to fight duels.The doctor smiled as he spoke of his age, for he was born in North Hanover, near Hamburg, in 1856,and is consequently only 37 years of age.He is about five feet six inches in height, wears no whiskers, has a light brown moustache pointed in the trae military style.He is rather slightly built, but wiry, and, although « pleasant-lookin gentleman, when he talks about his 'wor| he seems to be all on fire, and his countenance

OLERKS.They Ar.Rapidly Being Elbawed Out of Existence by Young Women.Mr.J.L.Hayne writing in the Canadian Magazine says that girls are much more clever as clerks than men, that the male clerk im doomed to extinction like the dodo, and he thinks the results are most disag.trous both to women and to themen.The following are the salient Paper, which is entitled * ment of Young Men.\u201d Nearly all classes of clerical work are passing rapidly into the hands of young women.These young women eater the offices with skillful fingers, winning Manners, And general aptness to write letters, kee ks, count cash, and discharge the multitudinous duties attashing to business life, They do their work satisfactorily and well, Taken altogether, they are neater, better behaved, and quicker than young men.Nor can it be anid any longer that physical disabilities render them inferior to young men in clerical positions where endurance sometimes becomes a factor.Experience has clearly demonstrated that theso young Women can do whatever ig required of them, and do it to the satisfaction of their From observation, I should say that two young women now enter the departments at Ottawa and Washington to one young mar.What is true of the Civil Service is unquestionably true of ALL BRANCHES OF Brsivmsg where clerks are employed, Shops and Y offices are all but closed to young men and ed form.Into all the lighter branches of steadily increas ing numbers, to the exclusion of men, The result in, that these bright young fellows, capable of doing excellent work, are foroad to toil for long hours, often at night, for the munificent salary of $15 a month, After two or three years of hard and faithful service, promotion to the #25 a month class is possible; while $35 to $50 is the outside figure to which a clerk may aspire if he exhibits special qualifications and sustained devotion Years witness the same relative increase in the number of working girls and women as has taken place since 1870 in this countr y and the United States, we shall ace young men doing the Huuse work, and their sisters and mothers carrying on half the business of the land.Asan instance ot how the pinch is commencing already to be felt, 1 might cite the case of a family, conais'ing of two girls and à boy, all old enough to earn their living, young man isa wide-awake, industrious and clever fellow; but while his sisters are in good situations, he finds it impossible to secure an opening in which he could hope to Marriages are on the decrease in proportion to the population, Some months ago I took occasion, in writing for an American magazine, to prove by statistics, TWO REALLY GRAVE FACTS : Firat, that the proportion of marriages on the part of young men between ths ages of twenty-three and thirty had materially declined during the past twenty years ; \u2018and, second that the number of unmarried persons, in relation to the total Population, ad very materially increased.I hold, after giving the matter careful thought, that the iucreasin number of working girls, and the falling off in the relative number of marriages are connected in the relavion of cause and effect.Neither young men nor young women are content to live as did Young men and women a generation ago\u2014 a thing which is natural and in most respects commendable, but it is only accom- plished by the payment of a high price.A part of this prico is, that the aughters shall earn their living as well as the sons, and that neither the daughters nor sons shall have the willingness to begin married life on a humble scale, I am honestly in doubt as to whether or not a remedy for this state of lied at the present time, or in the near Future, Any means at all practicable would have to be educational in character, and should aim to simplify the general conditions of life.Take away this artificial asis of social and domestic life, this imprudent and wasteful effort on the part of common people to live aa if they were opu- lant, and by that one act you would return half the girls who now work to their homes.1 say this because I believe that MORE THAN FIFTY PER CENT.of all the girls who now toil do not need to do so, Twenty-five years ago only one girl earned Ler iving to ten who do sp to-day.Will any one say necessity has caused this great change ?\u201cI think not, A very large proportion of the additional ninety per cent.have entered the field of toil in order that their parents may keep up aprearances and they themselesen joy many luxuries, No girl should work who does not need to.fr this rule was observed it would creats an opening for at least two hundred young men in this city of Ottawa alone ; for there are at least that number in the capital who have no other excute for working than comes from consideration of cupidity, selfishness and pride.I know something of the circumstances of at least fifty girls who earn their living, and it 18 the simple truth to say that thirty of them should be at home, Young women must realize these two things in chief: First, that in working, if they do not need to, they take the places Properly belonging to young men ; and secondly, that modern notions about the independence of women, coupled with extravagant ways of living, are partly responsible for the conditions which are bringing about a steadily declining marriage rate on the part of young men, In other words, when girls work they intensify the conditions which are filing this country with spinsters and bachelors.Doing Penal Servitude.Father (who had canghs Tommy

country.Dr.Sheldon Jackson, Superintendent of Education for Alaska, and Capt.Healy of the Bear have for a couple of years been imperting rein- deor from Siberia, aad this is the reason for the suppossd scarcity throughout that region ; but the scarcity appears Lo be towards the southern, south-western, and northern coasts.In the far interior there are myriads of them.\u201cThey are remarkably numerous everywhere about my mission near the mouth of the Porcupine River,\u201d said the reverend entleman.\u2018* Back towards the mountains rom my house I have seen great bands of them, and almoat everywhere I looked I could see them.This summer when the ioe broke up on the river I remember secing six or seven of them on a cake of ice floating down, and I saw many others floating en the ice.\u201cFor much of the time I have lived at the mission, I have subsisted almost exclusively on reindeer meat.It is very good, and I may say it is about the only kind of meat you don\u2019t get tired of, Ithink it is better, all things considered, than beef, aud you eat it longer without its palling on ou.\u201d The Indians eat it almost exclusive- y, and they are very big and strong.dome of them are six feet in height, and the average is about five feet ten inches.They are genuine North America Indiuns, and not the Aleuts, Esquimaux, or a mixture of the two.\u201cI keep an Indisn hunter, and he supplies me with all the reindeer meat I want.He also brings in\u2019grouse, ducks, bear, and other game as need it.I have learned to shoot pretty well myself, as all white men do in that region.\u2018The ducke ani grouse, like the reindeer, are remarkably good eating.\u2018It is fearfully cold there.Last winter the thermometer was for a week at n time down to 60°, and I have seen it

procession took place in it is remarkable.The Gazette reportsthe circumstance in these words: Sunday afternoon Point St Charles, that is, that part of it past the Wellington street subway, was, long before the hour set for the after event, crowded with men in full regalia, who were wending their way to their different Orange meeting halls to take part in the celebration of the anniversary of Guy Fawkes day by a parade through the streets and afterwards to listen to the anniversary sermon preached in the Congregational church by the Rev Thomas Hall, chaplain of the \u2019Prentices.Not only were the Orange- men, True Blues and \u2019Prentices on the streets, but there were thousands of other citizens.The principal part of the procession, over 1,000 strong, had in its ranks members of sister lodges from Ontario, who met at Fraternity ball, while the city lodges met at Lomas\u2019 hall, on the other \"side of thesubway.The procession was headed by the grand marshal of the day,
