swang to his saddle became painfully odoriferous.That very antelope had lured him to the top of Sisty\u2019s Peak and had taken revenge for the first shot which had brought its demise.Craig, bpaturaily hot-tempered and impatient, swore audibly.He wondered why a man should want to go hunting in the Rockies; why if he did, he could not tell when it was going torain,\u2014or did anybody ever know lorado weather?why, if a man knew enough to go to the top of a peak, he could not find his way down.He had no idea where he was, and night was near at hand: under the aspens that slapped him merrily with wet branches as he passed, it was already dark.He wonde;ed where Doctor John was.That ass would make a jest of the matter : he was offensively personal in his jokes.He would pot think of going to look for a comrade,\u2014not he, the laziest man in the world.Why, then, should Craig Oliver take meat to Doctor John, antelope steak he so favored, brought from the summit of à cloud-reaching peak?Yet that invidious doubt of Doctor John's! there must be evidec ce, or he would tell the story of an imaginary antelope and ims, inary shot.It grew darker,\u2014if possible, wetter.The sodden antelope flounced about, and the dog whined dolefully.\u201c\u2018Confound you, Mac,\u201d cried Gliver, \u2018if you are bored, what must be?Do you think I'm doing this for pleasure?Besides, you can shake the rain off your coat, and it soaks into mine.If I stay outside to-night it means rheumatism, sure.I'll bet the doctor is huddling over the fire now with that infernal pipe of his, and Mike is cleaning his boote,-the doctor's boots, I pay Mike, but he cleans the doctor's boots first, last, end all the time, Some men have a faculty of imposition\u2019 The more uncomfortable Oliver became, the more he thought of his guest snugly ensconced in his hunting-cabin miles away on the Troublesoine,\u2014an untrustworthy little stream that meandered through the mountain park, irrigating the crops houn- tifully in the spring, but often aunibilat- ing them in midsummer, \u201c* He's toasting his thin shanks at my hearth, smoking my tobacco, ordering my servant about, and he would leave me out here to perish.He knew it was going to Fain : that is why he said he had tha toothache.Iswear he hasn't one of his own left.1 believe it is gout ails him.And Mike hasn't sense enough to go out with a light.Ha ! there's one !\u201d The trees more widely scattered showed him rn sudden glimmer of light across the murk we-ow, like a fallen star.He urged the mare forward down a found from her quickened pace he was on & travelled road.Then she shied and stop- d, and he was close to a shut gate.He mounted, opened it, and, mindful of cattle, closed it after him.After a short walk be saw the dark outlines of buildings, a house with corrals and barns ; from the last came the savage barking of dogs and the clank of their stretching chains as they leaned from their kennels.Mac, in duty und, set up a challenging uproar, silenced only by his master's whip.From the lighted windows Craig saw the house proper was built of logs and raised considera ly from the ground, with a wide veranda approached by a lung flight of steps.A door in the L that was on a level with the ground suddenly opened, and a man came out with & lantern,\u2014an under-sized man, with a whits face, deep-sunken blsck eyes, and a scrubby beard around his chin of such a blue-black color his face looked deadly pale.\u2018\u201c What a State\u2019s pris ug 1\u201d Craig thought; but he said, politely.\u2018I have lost my way.\u201d *\u201c Well, this is not it,\u201d said the man, bolding his lantern rudely near Oliver's \u201cI do not need your assurance of that, my civil friend ; but if I insulted you with a bribe could you put up my horse sod a shelter for the night 1 0.\u2018Western hospitality is evidently out of Lo line.I famoy New Vork or the ad- cent islands are more to your taste than à ranch in the moantains.Perhaps you could direct me to Lord Morris\u2019s shooting box : it's em the Troublesome, about five miles from Parkville.Iam a stranger here, as I only bought the lodge this spring.\u201d \u201c1 don\u2019t know where it is.\u201d \u201cAh! autrasger too.You own this lace I\u2019 \u20181 don\u2019t ses that that is your affair.\u201d .\u201cI might make it mine, if the odds were not so against me,\u201d Oliver muttered, turning, and tightening his saddle-girths.A door in the house suddenly opened, and in the flood of light streaming out Oliver saw a slight girlish figure peering into the darkness.* What is it, Louis?Not Monsieur de Restaud?Is\u2014is he hurt!\u201d \u201cCully à tramp, Go bask into the house,\u201d called the man rudely.A fat little woman ia a cap ran ont, steep hill, and f in the door ;

lifting his hat.*I am not a trampat all, but a neighbor,\u2014even a landed proprietor.I did hope for shelter, but I will only ask a direction \u2014-\u201d .\u201c Bat I don't know any directions, sir, and I wouldn't trust Louis's, he'd like to tany one intoteouble.Iam thankfully gnorant of this herrid countzy : I wantto be:Ihateit But you must come in and t dry and have your horse rubbed down.hat a lovely dog 1\" The fat woman, who had descended the steps unobserved, here interposed an objection, clutching the girl's arm tightly, and talking hastily in whispered Frenoh that sounded like a prolonged hiss, s0 great was her agitation.¢ Hush up, hag!\u201d said the siogular young woman, again freeing herself.¢\u2018 And now do come in for a little while.\u201d She was bareheaded, and wore some kind of a sleazy gown.As the rain was speedily wetting her shoulders, Oliver was forced to go up under the roof of the veranda.\u2018* You needu\u2019t be shocked,\u201d she went on, merrily,\u201d at what I said to her : she does not know a word of English, and she\u2019s one and won't come any more, Half the fan I have is calling her names and sayiug things to her she would so like to kom, \u2014 Louis, take the gentleman's horse and give her good care.None of your tricks, for Monsieur might this once like to be friendly: you never cam tell: he and Lord Morris were.Monsieur can be agreeable, quite lovely to strangers, if he wants to be.\u201d The man, gree.\u2019 ling to himself, led the mare to the Larn.\u201cI don\u2019t fancy leaving her to his mercies,\u201d said Oliver, uneasily, as he watched man aod horse from the porch.* Somehow I have not overmuch confidence in your servant.\u201d * Ien\u2019t he evil looking ?Annette,though, thinks he is beautifui.But Louis will be good to your horse : he is fond of them, and & thoroughbred, too, lika that one, will delight him.His liking for horses is the only human trait he has.Do come in, just a little while : we're not robbers or Benders, thongh things are funny.Bring your lovely dog.Will he fight a little mite of one ?\u201d \u201cIf he did I'd disown him,\u201d smiled Craig.She stooped and picked up a fluffy Skye terrier, and, holding it in her arms, led the way into a luxuriously-furnished room with piano and fine pictures, a bright open fire, and evidences of travel and culture in bric- a-brac.It was strangely at variance with the wild and lonely country outside, but oddly natural in Colorado.In the Rockies the unexpected is always happening : a day- laborer is often a college graduate waiting an earl acquiring experience, \u201cIf we tried to snare travellers,\u201d said the young lady, coolly, * Louis would rather hurt our business, his manners are so bad.This is the den of Monsieur de Restaud, who came here to avoid the war with Prussia: he was only a young lad then, but a born coward ; and his brother is a colonel in the French army, his father a general.He daren\u2019t go back to France.Sit down, Here's a chair for your coat; you will feel better dry.I'll excuse your shirt-sleeves.\u201d Talking all the while, she set & chair for his coat, one for himself near the hearth, and then, kneeling down by the big dog, she put the little one on the floor and proceeded to make them acquainted.Skye instantly became a fluff of growl and fight ; but Mae, with an enauyeed sigh, stretched himself and lay down to rest, He realized he was intruding, but meant to make the best of it in peace.She jumped up, the dog under her arm, and flung a logon the re, \u201c\u2018 There, are you comfortable?\u201d she asked, standing and smiling on him, a lovely flush on her face, \u201c Delightfully so.\u201d Oliver looked at her in wonder, Was she child or woman?A slight, girlish figure, but beautifully formed, tiny hands and feet, a mass of short reddish curls around her neck, parted smoothly in the middle, hazel eyes with dark lashes, a nose retrousse, piquantly so, and a rosebud mouth that oho small white teeth of dazzling brilliancy.Her skin was almost unnaturaliy pale, and a dimple in the left cheek drew attention to its soft roundness.Her gown of yellow china silk clung to her beautiful curves, and the wide ruffle of the yellow around her throat was like the tals of a flower.He looked at her left and: there was no ring: in fact, all the jewelry she wore was a bunch of silver angles on her right arm.*\u201c Do you live here ?\u201d he asked, lamely, as she knelt again on the rug to pat his dog, Skye in her arms.nstead of replying, she made her dog sit up on its hind legs and beg, \u2014 an accomplishment Skye disliked showing, as he desired to get acquainted with the new dog, and this circus business seemed derogatory to his dignity.\u201cSee I\u201d said the young woman, breathlessly ;

Pattulio, of Woodstock, pointed out at a recent meeting of dairymen that there were over 350,000 work horses in Ontario.It was quite certain that these were kept idle more than a month in each Jour owing to the im ble condition of the roads in most parts of the province.Allowing s dollar per wack for the keep of the horses, this would show a direct loss of nearly $1.500,000 in à year on the horses in ordinary use in the province ; but the real loss through such enforced idlenesswas enor- monsly larger.There were about 2,000 dairy factories in Canada.The average cost of what might be called haulage would not be less than $1,000, or $2,000,000 in all per annum.It was quite certain that a ong of one-quarter of this amount, or $500,000 per year, could be easily effected by such

poured into the city from neighboring towns on the south, north, west, and east.These men had no place to sleep, nothing to eat.In sheer humanity the City Hall was given up to them, and night after night, since the middle of November, the great corridors of the builaingand its stairways of iron and stone were turned into dormitories\u2014hard beds, but warm ones, at least.The homeless, the hungry, cried aloud, and the pence of the city waa disturbed.The churches discussed the advisability of throwing open their edifices to those who had not whereon 0 lay their heads, but this movement was abandoned.Why, no one seemed to knows Then a ctank in a suburban town issued « printed circular calling for twelve thousand armed unemployed men to meet at & certain hour at the Columbus Monument, go up into the city and take what they thought they wanted.This odd and highly impracticable suggestion crystallized the movement for the relief of the poor, and a general committee of the rich men, oplied the Central Reliet Association, was formed.The churches and their representatives in the ministey got together, aud set to work at once in organizing societies and committees for investigation and relief.At that time the City Hall was the public dormitory, and a visit there at night was like 8 walk throogh a potter's field of unburied dead.The air of the main corridors became currupt and has not yet boen purified, although the lodgers were forbiddgn to enter à fortnight ago.The Centra.Relisf Association worked hard,and soon had a great soup.kitsken on the Lake Front at the foot of Randolph Street.Hore are fed daily about four thousand persons.\u2018he establishment does not undertake to lodge the poot, bat it feeds them.No re- atrictions are placed on tbe applicant.He PERSONALS The Controllers at Otta;

heirs living in Canada.It proposed that all having bona fide claims on the Robert Edwards estate, of New York, meet 10 London \u201cfor the purpose of establishihg à permanent association, with a proper constitution and by-laws, to elect rs thereof, to appoint committees with power, and to do all other necessary acte to t matters in shape to carry out the un- rtaking commenced.The ciecular was signed, \u201cCapt.Henry , secretary, Komoxa ; W.D.Edwards, assistant secretary, London; P.MoPhillips, solicitor for claimants, London.\u201d The meeting lasted two days.Many spurious claims were struck off the list and lawyer MoPbhillips and Mr.W.D.Edwards were appointed to go to New York to investigate the matter.TWO OFFERS BY NEW YORKERS in regard to the disposition of the estate were considered.The first was from a lawyer who claims to have o the expired lease, He wanted $25,000 from the heirs and one-third of the estate; all expeuses until the matter was settled to be paid by bim.This was not favorably considered.The second offer was made by Mr.Frank Dabois, od he banking Sm of Dabois & Ballou, sw York.© guaranteed to of the lease, establish the 20.For this he wanted one-half of the estate.The assembled heirs at London decided to take his offer.Several trips to New York have recently been made by Lawyer McPhillips, and matter is now in o feir way to being settled ; at least so says Mr, Hill.THE TIME LSMIT.+ We have only a little over thres oars ill to the reporter, \u2018as EF understand fram our solicitor that after 21 years from the ex.tion of the lease our claims are not valii.The leass,you see, exgired about 16 yours ago.1am confident, however, that the matter will be settled before that.\u201d st What is the estate valued » :\u201d [Pr Cd 1 would nob dare te mano en cutfnuta £0 must be worth mony millions «4 however, as it is situated in the contre Now York, where à few foot of land means ° fertane.\u201d small \u201c How did you ested: yew olalia ¥* TES FAMILY MBLE DID IS, \u201cWell, whea 1 iret went to Now York seme two years age I took with me our family Bible, whish has descended to me tions.1b is 107 years old, cad ns the names & the family since then.They never disputed m: claim 88 ail, and share were many te Now York who wanted to © up my cause The Bible is now in the possession of Me.vad of the other Cama» wow an dian balre y Muskoka, Joseph Rracebridge, Gravenhurst.mine, aud the former are cousins.Mr.Joesph accompanied me on my fret trip to New York.re.Rachel Cameres, of Collingwood, is also a bena fide hois.Mr.Hill says that bis attention was drawn to the matter of the inberitance come years before the lease expired, oc about 20 years An unole of his, r.J.Nasworth, of Detroit, was even at that time working to establish à claim to the propery.He bad frequent talks with man HAS NEVER LOST HOPE thas he would ultimately ges his lawful share of the estate.His uncle, he says, is as sangrine over the matter to-day as he was 20 years ago.Hels well acquainted with the technicalities of the oase and has spent a deal of money in establishing his claim.Mr.Hill says his own father never bothered himaslf about the matter.At the meeting of heirs at London on November 21 last a copy of the expired lease was shown.It was sant over by New York lawyer, whose name Mr.Hill oould not call to mind, but who possesses the original document.Should theaffair tez- minate successfully, as Mr, Hill seems confident it will, Uncle Sam's already deplet- od exchequer will suffer considerable, for 16 years of uncollested taxes will have to be paid to the heire and their successors.le The Oondor of the Andes.Up among the cold white peaks of the Andes, higher than human foot has had the daring to tread, is sometimes seen a dark speck slowly circling in the clear air.The speck gradually descends, and we see that it 1s thu largest bird of the air, the condor.Its flight is swifter than the eagle's.Nothing but the distance could have made the condor of the Andes seem small snd slow on the wing.BSwifily descending, cruel, huogry, he fastens his oe upon some luckless lamb or kid.Rarely it is able to escape; successful resistance is impossible.\"he condor cannot carry off its prey in its talons like the eagle, for, it hus plot the es power of y And the sharpness of its claws is in Sine worn off on the bard rocks which are his home; so, standing vu on the struggling animal with one foot, t! condor kills the poor thing with his powerful beak and his other foot.Like many other greedy creatures, the condor, after his dinner, becomes incapable of flight, and it is only then that he can be approached with safety; but even now the hunter must be cautious and strong.A Uhilianminer, who waa celebrated for his great physisal strength, once thought that without weapons he could capture a which seemed unusually stupid after its heavy meal.The poor man put forth all his powers, and the engagement was long aad d ° ate, till at last the poor miner was glad te escape with his life.Exhausted, tora aud bleeding, he managed to carry off « few feathers us trophies of the hardest battle he had ever fought.He thought that he had left the bird mortally hurt.The other miners went in search of the body, but instead, found the bird alive and steot, flap- pings ita wings for flight.If the condor does mot reach an ultimely end by violence, it is, according to all ae- counts, very long lived, The Indians of the Andes believe that it lives for a hundred years, The condors\u2019 homes seem suited for birds so ugly and fierce.They build no nest, but the female selrcts some hollow in the barren rock that shall be large enough to shelter her from the strong winds while ste is hatching her eggs.Here, in the midst of desolation, the ugl little condors begin their cries for ° and after they are six weeks old begin attempting to use their wings.The parents show the only trait they possess im their care for the young, feeding and training them to iy, so that in » few months they are able to hunt for themselves alter the grim fashion of their elders.About Books and Papers.The first complete Bible that was print.od in England appeared in 1535.The most expensive illustrated book yet made is said to be a Bible mow owned Theodore Irwin, of Oswego, N.Y.It valued at $10,000, The News, published at Cochran, Ga, ie but little larger than an ordinary envelopy, snd claims to be the smallest weskly paper published in Georgia.It is rather surprising to learn that the little Repablic of Urogusy has more newspapers in proportion to its lation then any other country is the world.The first almanac printed in Europe is believed to have been the Kalendsrium Novum, by Regimontasus, calediated fer the three years, 1475, 1404, aad 1513 Dd was published at Buda, in Hangery.t possession Se ot A che lawial boire, figat the pmo ae ol Fe or saga surly matter out until the estate was rightfully oo the fourteenth century, the S extant disposed of, and bear all expenses doing being, it is reported, à letter from Joinville to Louis X., of France, dated A.D.1316 The Scriptures were first written on skins, linea cloth or pa;

they could bope to ultimately destroy the Dominion.Their plan is to secute Catholics by means of this society (secretly of course), and when they, the R.C.\u2019s, are driven to desperation, invite them to seek protection by annexation.It therefore behoves every loyal Canadian\u2014I mean every Canadian who loves his country and its flag more than the loaves and fishes of office\u2014to stam out as far as he is able this infamous roduct of Yankee ingenuity and Patred for the Dominion.Asa Canadian myself, I loathe all persecution, and I am opposed to all secret societies, particularly such organfzations as the P.P.A.I, therefore, as you will understand, never had any sympathy with the order with which you are connected.I, however, know that all Orangem®n are loyal to Canada, as I believe all Roman Catholics are, and I want to record this note of warning, and I trust you will make the country ring with it from one end to the other.Though we may differ in faith, as we have a right to, and as it seems to be God\u2019s will that we should, yet, I know, Orangemen and Catbolics, and good God-fearing citizens of all classes and creeds, are united, and should be united in this crisis in the grand old watchword: \u201cGod save the Queen,\u201d \u201cGod guard Canada,\u201d \u201cVive la liberté.\u201d Yours, RicEMoND HILL.Milwaukee, Wis., January 28.A DEFENDER OF THE P.P.A, | To the Editor of Gleaner: SIR,\u2014I see in your issue of the 1st inst.an editorial alluding to the P.PA.convention held in Hamilton.I | think you speak very disparagingly jof them.You say they were a gath- i ering of nobodies, and an assemblage of fussy cranks.Do you use these remarks because one of your brethren jof the Orange order could not gain ;

EO THE FAILURES.Norming néw has come to light during the week regarding the three insolvent estates.On Tuesday fore- poon a meeting of the creditors of the organ factory and Somerville estates was beld at Beduharnois, which was slimly attended.\u201d Its busi- peas was the appointment of officials to wind up those estates, and W.8, Maclaren was appointed curator for both, with A.de Martigny, of the Jacques Cartier bank, Montreal, W.H.Robinson of the Eastern Townships bank, and Francis H.Henderson wereappointed inspectors.There ition to these appoint- ents.\u201cPhe winding up of these will now be proceeded with in pond The meeting for the estate of Boyd & Co.is set for the 21st inst., when it is probable the same reons will be appointed as curator and inspectors.In six weeks the curator will probably beina ition to give an approximate estimate of what the assets are likely to realize.That there will bea great shrinka is obvious.Hopesare entertained that offers will ba received for the organ factory as it stands from parties intending to continue the business.Since the euspension orders have been coming in and several enquiries from intending customers.Thefoun- dry is going on as usual, and besides its ordinary shipments, two hay-' resses have been sold.We ap nd a list of Boyd &Co\u2019s creditors.With regard to the large amounts due several of the hands, it is well to explain that they are-old and saving employes.who preferred a yearly settlement.That the creditors ef Boyd & Co.will be paid in full is regarded as certain.Mr Somerville takes serious exception to the statements in last week\u2019s paper regarding Boyd & Co's assignment, characterizing them as designed by the Gleaner to write up Mr Boyd at his expense.His statement we give without comment, and it-is as follows: The foundry, for some time after he was induced to become a partner, did fairly well, and- then there were heavy losses from agents in Glengarry, Nova Scotia, and Manitoba, which he had to cover, and also he had to make large advances for buildings and additions to the plant.Thefundèrequired he borrowed from the banks.These lounsdate back several yeurs and have gone on increasing.He holds that had he left the foundry when Dr Cameron did, he would have been in very different position from what he is today.His money has gone in discounts for loans to Boyd & Co.and for fire- insurance on their buildings, as required by the lien of the Trust & LoanCo.His interest in the partner ship having grown until it wiped out that of Mr Boyd, the establishment of Boyd & Co.became his sole property, and he therefore objects to the notes of Boyd & Co., upon which \u2018money was raised by him, being styled accommodation paper for his behoof, as it was all spent in the business of Boyd & Co., while in taking the farmers\u2019 notes to use as collateral for loaug he was only using what belonged to himself.Of late the foundry had been doing well and required no advances from him, but he had got nothing from its receipts towards the interest he was paying on old loans for it.ORDINARY CREDITORS OF BOYD & CO.Whitman & Barnes Mfg.Co,St Catharines, Ont.O.Larin,

last to Charles Laberge, a young and well-to-do farmer of the St Louis river, Laberge left his house about four o'clock in the afternoon to do the chores.His young wife and two small children looked pleasantly forward to his coming in shortly for supper.Time went on until it grew dark, but the familiar step came not.The young wife fearing something had happened, lighted a lantern and started for the barns.Not far from the house she found her husband lying on a slippery piece of ice with a 16-foot plank on bis arm, his head terribly cut, and pools of blood on the ice.The poor woman managed to carry him tu the house and called a neighbor, who hurried for a doctor, but human skill could do nothing.He lingered until the nextday but never regained consciousness.How long he had lain on the ice is not known.The supposition is, that while carrying the plank from the house to the barn, he slipped on the ice when the full weight of the plank fell upon his head.A movement is on foot to have the

happily than in a foreign land.\u201d Attention is drawn to t e necessity of study of the art and theory of agriculture, The pastoral continues : \u201cIn order to spread abroad without delay this theoretical and practical science of agriculture, we have decided to call to our aid certain members of the clergy whose speeial knowledge of agricu ture, aptitude and devotion are well known to us.These \u201cagricultural missionaries,\u201d as we have already called them, have begun to exercise their functions with success.Our holy father the Pope has blessed them, and we join with the sovereign Jonutt to call down upon them and upon their work the most abundant benedictions of i Heaven.You will join your prayers {to ours that this work may redound to the glory of God as well as to the ood of our country.We will pray eaven that thename of Jesus Christ may be known and greater number of our ellow-country- men, that our Canadians, children of the soil, may never be reduced to eat the bread of exile, and that our fields, (rendered fertile and productive by \u2018intelligent cultivation, may abundantly sustain our reople.e pray, moreover, that idleness, mother of all the vices, and luxury may disappear from our country, and that glorified by a even preferable to that of the other! | i temperance may reign with all the Christian virtues.We desire that these agricultural missionaries visit each parish, as far as possible, twice a year, in order to give continuity to their work.They will help the cure to find the pupil who will represent the parish at the school of agricul ture, and who will return to give an example to others.They will continue to furnish farmers\u2019 clubs that we have been 80 happy to see formed to the number of more than 400 in 1893.They will keep themselves abreast with new discoveries and the results obtained by experiments made elsewhere.The devotion that the have shown up to the present will gain for them the confidence they are entitled to, and will obtain ensier acceptance for the advice they have togive.We have learnt with plea- .sure that most of theclubs are direct- jed by priests.The prosperity of the country makes that of the cities.the cultivator being the nursing mother of both.Let the city as well as the country parisifes help us for the suc- ceas of the common cause.In order\u2019 that the missionaries may

milk according to quality on the ground that the fat and caseine did not increase in the same proportioms, The investigations which he had: taken part in showed that both the fat and caseine went right along hand in hand.Where milk contained 3 ce 4 per cent.of fat it would be found that there was for every two-thirdtt.- of a pound of caseine about a pouadA of fat.Investigation had shown thats.fat and caseine were present in diffog ent milks in practically the snoer uniform proportions.A second ob» jection urged to the system of butteæ- at was that when the milk went bea yond a certain ratio the fat went into the whey.It had been said that there was no use of taking milk tas the factory which contained more.than 3% per cent.of fat, because them excess of fat beyond that

with the journey of Princess Halene of Orleans to Egypt for the benefit of her health, the Paris \u2018\u2018 Figaro \u201d tells an interesting love story, which is probably not true.Princess Helens, it declared, never recovered from the shock which she received in the untimely death of the Duke of Clarence, the eldest son of the Prince of Wales.The Duke met the lovely daughter of the Count of Paris at Balmoral when both were visiting the Queen.They fell so deeply in love with each other that they forgot the difference in sheir religious belief until they came to talk of their marriage.Then the provision of the cone stitution prohibiting the marriage of a pros- peotive King of England to a Roman Catholic Princess stood out before them in all its severity.Then the Princess remembered that the Princess Marie of Orleans,daughter of the Duke de Chartres, had received permission from the Holy Father to marry the Protestant Prince Waldemar of Denmark, on condition that any daughters, resulting from the marriage should be brought up as Catholics.Full of hope she recalled the happy ending of Princess Marie's pilgrimage to Rome, and set out herself to make a like request of the Papal ruler.She was doomed to disappoirtment.She fell on her knees before He Holiness, told of her love and Legged him to make possible her marriage to the heir of the English crown.The Pope treated her with all kindness, showed her why the union was impossible, and advised her to return to England and tell the Duke to seek another bride, With heart almost broken, she did 20 ; and soon after the announcement of the engagement of the young Duke and the Princess May of Teck was made.The Princess and the Duke of Ciarence remained apart as much as porsible thereatter ; but they were unable to forget their dream.In the fever which preceded the unfortunate Prince's death, it is said that he almost senatantly murmured, not the name of his Fi sffianced bride, but that of the Princess Helene, The deep sorrow of the Princess over the death of the Duke is looked upon as a chief obstacle in the way of a possible marriage between her and the Czarewitch.But it is hardly likely that the Czar would consent to such & union, were there no other obstacle, at a time when the Russians are on such friendly terms with Republican France.It will be difficult to find a suitable husband for the most beautiful of the dsugh.ters of the royal houses of Europe, Among the heirs of the Roman Catnolic families there are few young men whom she would choose 5 and the heirs of the Protestant families are, of course, not to be consider- \u2018The Mest Useful of Minerals.Palladium is one of the least known but moat useful of minerals, and the uses to which it is pat would make an interesting story.It belongs tothe platinum group, an is found with that mineral in the Ural mountains, It was first introduced by a chemist named Cox, lt is similar in color to platinum, and is very malleable because of its flexibility.It afgreat absorber of hydrogen gas, but is principally used in the production of alloys.It is used in a thin film to protect silvered surfaces.A very close inspection of most silverware will reveal a thin coating of it on the articles, which protects them to a large extent {rom tarnishing.Mirrors have been backed with it.It gives an alloy with zine, nickel and tin.Palladium and silver form an alloy which is used by dentists in filling teeth.An alloy of palladium, gold: silver, and copper is used to make rings for the works of watches.In that use, one part palladium, three parte gold, two parts silver, and four parts cop form a body which produces less friction for the working parts of a watch than the ems which are more commonly used do.Palladium and stesl are combined to make the mostdelicate of surgical instruments.1t can be utilized more comprehensively with good resulta than any other mineral known.\u2014[Brooklyn Eagle.\u2014\u2014e Canada takes, in proportion to her inhabitants, almost three times as much British goods as the United States, In France the Code Napoleon is still in force, and a marriage, to be legal, must have not only the consent of both contracting es, but that of their fathers and mothers on both sides; failing that, of their grandfathers and grandmothers ; if there be none of these relatives, of the oldest members of the families to which both belong.If consent be refused, the man being 25, the woman 21, they institute des actes res ; that is to say, they go to law with all their kin to compel them to show cause why the marriage should not take place.Me.ineau, who is pursued by the Minerve for apostacy, is really of Huguenot descent.His ancestors escaped from Poiton, where the severity of the

Pied and Was Mistaken for the Other.The Terre Haute Express says: Albert Kirshner, the tailor employed at J.1.H.Miller's clothing store, and well known in Terre Haute, is anxiously awaiting an answer to a letter to his parents in Germany.-enty-two years ago a Queeenstown Bvuuis isuded at New York, and amon the many hundred sengers who walked down the gangplank was a timid, green- looking German boy.He secured a position in a tailor shop.This boy was rt Kirshner.A correspondence was kept up between the young man and his parents for several years, he finally leaving New York and locating in Massachusetts, Durin his absence from his former New Yor! home, a man of the same name, also a tailor, and bearing a very striking resemblance, committed suicide by shooting.The resemblance was 30 close that many of Mr.Kirshner\u2019s friends attending the funeral, who viewed the corpse, had not the slightest doubtit was the man THEY HAD FORMERLY KNOWN, They, therefore, mourned bim as dead, and sent word to the parents in Europe that their son was dead.In about a year the Mr.Kirshner of this sketch returned to New York State.He called upon his former friends, who stared at him in utter amazement, unable to believe their eyes.He wan laughed at as an imposter by his old companions, who declared they had seen him in his coffin, had followed his remains to the cemetery, and witnessed his barial.The only way left for Mr.Kirshner to make his friends know he had not died and been buried was to relate some instances which had occurred while he was in their company and about which no one else knew.After a long series of stories they were finally convinced that the man buried was not their old friend, as they had supposed.During the next two or three years he received no communication from his parents in the Fatherland, as they thought him deceased and would not write.Repeated letters were written them, but his parents like his old acquaintances at first had done believed him an imposter.Last summer Mr.Kirshuer went Ézst and at one of the New York watering places met a lady, an ACQUAINTANCE OF HIS PARENTS, The meeting was purely acsidental, and when he disclosed his identity the lady was loath to believeit.She told him his father and mother both thought him dead.This woman had for several years corresponded with the Kirshner family, .aud Albert told her she might write and tell them he was still alive and give them his address.The mutual friend wrote to Sermany, but the story was given no credence.They believed him dead and were of the opinjon that the Albert Kirshner who claimed relationship with them was not their son.Thus matters stood for several months, but recently Mr.Kirshner received a letter f a brother-in-law, who asked for a detail account of his life, both in this raptry and at his own home in Germany.The a t son began work on an exceedingly lengthy letter to his brother-in-law, in which h spoke of -innumerable instances which his relative could not help bar recognize as coming from the real Albert Kirshner, The letter, which covered nearly fifty pages, was an interesting document.It contained reminiscences of their school days, the ogee of his father and mother, and sister, the date of her marriage, places of amusement they had visited together, the contents of letters he had formerly written home; in fact, every circumstance that entered his mind.These, together with his photograph, which he had taken ially for the p , snd one or two-little.trinkets given him by friends in the old country, which he

pork, $350; veal, 8300; fat cattle, $1,800, making a totul of $4,600, He purchased $2,000 worth of feed, over what was raised on the farm, and estimated the cost of running the farm as follows; Labor, $1,200; wear and tear, $20) ; leaving a profit ot $1,200.He said that farmers should engage as skillful labor as posaible, the same as in any other walk in life.He concluded by sayi \u20ac that farming would pay if done systematically, even if all the work were done by hired labor.The farmers of this country were working too hard with their hands, and not using their brains.He said a man skould kuow how much grain he was going to sow the next season and lay plans to plongh and cultivate accordingly.He said commercial fertilizers do not pd only when used to force the crops and counteract the effects of a poor season, Farmers should build stables and silos suitable to preserve the stock and produce of the farm.There was too much of a golf between the agricultural colleges and model farms and the farmer\u2014~too much theory and too little practice.THE NEW OFFICERS.The following compose the new Board of 0 Directors : President, Andrew Pattallo, Woodstock;

Venison supper ! he deer was shove us, but we could nos see it on account of the overhang.All the men had their revolvers, and as they began to flourish them aud prepare tofire the officer oalied out a command and a warning.1f they heard him they did not heed him.He was still speaking when three or four shots were fired almost simultaneously and some one cried out that the deer had boom hit.It was the concussion that started the snow and it started from the very top of the slope, where the warm sun had softened tt soonest.I felt a trembling of the mountain and leaned back under the overhang and as the lieutenant and I stood side by side the avalanche swept over us.Daylight was blotted out in an instant and the grinding, roaring, and crushing were something terri- ce It seemed as if the mountain rocked and piwhed like a steamer at sea, and the noise was louder than any clap of thunder you ever heard.It couidn't have lasted over sixty seconds, though the time seemed ten times as long.Then we looked down to find the pass at the soles of our feet.In other words, it had filled ap to a height of thirty feet with snow, bowlders, trees, and earth.Two hundred feet to the west of us was the lower mouth or opening\u2014 beyond that a plain.The snow had not only fallen fron our slope, but from the one opposite.We were struck dumb for the moment, and as we stood gasing blankly the suow started on the third slope.Awa up near the crest a ball started rolling, a ten seconds later the snow on a space 300 feet long was moving.Instead of piling up in the ravine it struck and foroed the snow down there to the west and followed after.DISCIPLINE UNTO DEATH.Ib was a great river of snow sweepin, past us, Loge, trees, and bowlders whioi weighed tens of tons were borne along like straws, and so swiftly that the eye caught no second glance.All at once there was à check, end right before us a soldier was shot to the surface, It was Co Herts, who was probably farther up the than any other man.He bl ped out of the snow head first and at fuil length, and for perhape five seconds was within ten feet of us and looking squarely isto our faces, He was bareheaded, his overcoat gone, and his face bleeding.He knew what bad happened, and no doubt realised his peril, but as he stood there, saved for the instant, up weat his hand ina saluie to the lieutenant.As his arm dro he disappeared from sight, It was discipline in the face of death\u2014an instance that will never have its counterpart, Out of that narrow, rocky the tide with a fury which scra; it as bare as a floor and tore great rocks from ite sides.At the west mouth the snow filled a ravine fifty feet deep and then poured ont on the piain for a quarter of a mil.It was no use to took for the bodies, Five hum.dred men could not have moved that mass in a fortnight.Twenty foormen were buried there.It was idie to hope that any of them still lived.Along in the inet days of June we found them, one after auother, and even then we had to dig.The snow weuld have smothered them ss 1t rushed down, bat with the snow came rocks which crushed some of them to pulp.The corporal who had salat- od as he looked into the eyes of death was the last one found, He was at the bottom of the ravine, the body without a shred of clothing, snd the arm be had reised bad been torn from ite socket as hs #as whirled oes with that grinding man \u2014[Ma rm are now minetytwo Christian Thers J chore in tbe city of Tokio, depen., A cs PIA te nee © Sol kth} I tuant À.nes en Wd ns dew on \u2014 EEE CE NAGER À DÉS a État 0 bis EST nig par VS.de A Ma are ne SE acta init sri So aw - 4 ae Foe a + 0 See ne Lee ve.
