engaged in winter-butter making.The officials subjected 15 samples of milk to the Babcock test, and found that the Poorest contained three and nine- tenths per cent.of butter fat and the t five and eight-tenths per cent.The average was an excellent one, as is evident from the fact that the creamery is now nfaking a pound of butter from every 17 pounds of milk purchased.The average for the entire season was a pound to each 23 6-10 pounds of milk, and the total output since May has been 1700 sixty-pound tubs, which bas been sold \u2018at an average price of 24¢ per pound.A centrifugal separator of the largest size is in use in the creamery, and it does its work so thoroughly that Mr found in the skim milk only one pound of butter-fat to 1500 pounds HUNTINGDON, Q.THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1894, HUNTINGDON, =The entertainment given by the scholars of Miss Nolan and Miss Me- Lean on Friday evening was success- fol beyond expectation.Every seat in Moir ball was filled while the program differed and was superior to anything of the kind previously presented here.The entertainment was entirely in the bands of the scholars and they did themselves credit, for it was varied and well prepared, and had only one fault, it bad too many numbers, it being after 11 before it was concluded.To single out the beet feature of the program would be to challenge objection, for tastes differ.The fan drill was pretty and cleverly executed.A dozen young ladies, whose costumes formed the red, white, and blue, were deftly put through a variety of movements by Miss Ames.That struck us as the prettiest scene and most cleverly carried out item on the program, while others preferred the spectacle of & company of soldiers in camp, who sang Tenting tonight, which was realistic and striking.Our literary club was an assemblage to discuss the merits of The Deserted Village, which they did in an amusing manner with Ina Rowat as president.The charade ended in an effective group.In the Bridal Wine Cup, Miss obina Smellie bore the leading part, and did it remarkably well.The dialogue by Thos.Gamble and O.McCallum was the best of the evening and was loudly cheered, as was the snow brigade.In the singing of the Festal Day Miss L.Meade, who took the solo, showed she had a rich voice, which will improve.Her reading of Dora did her credit.The only one beside the scholars who took part was the son of the county\u2019s representative in the local house, who was set | down for two songs, but being encored gave four.That excellent judge in musical matters, the Hemmingford correspondent of the Gleaner, described Mr Stephens\u2019 voice as a baritone of sweetness and power.The expectations raised were satisfled, and Mr Stephens met with a reception that must have gratified him His selections were sailor songs, and the one that told of the fugitive slave that got on board a British vessel was given with unusual expression.To refer to the other numbers would occupy too much space, and we would simply note that the Marsaillaise was sang in French by 3 Canadians who were assisted in the chorus by a band of the scholars.The accompaniments were played by Misses Me- regor, Will, and Clipsham.The chairman was one of the scholars, J.C.Moore, who did his part well.The net proceeds were $86, which will amply suffice for supplying the desired prizes.\u2014During Mr Clipsham\u2019s absence preaching anniversary sermons in the Townships, his pulpit was filled on Sunday by the Rev R.Milliken of Brandon Hills, Man., who deeply impressed his hearers.In the forenoon service he made feeling reference to the death of Dr Douglas.\u2014We would caution persons who have recejved letters from a pretended company in the States offerin certain barrels of coal or machine oi at a low rate, that had been shipped to & party in this section whose financial standing bad given way.The offer is fraudulent and simply a device of rogues to get-money.\u2014On Sunday, iu St Andrew\u2019s, Dr Muir informed his hearers that the Rev D.W.Morison would preach on the 18th and cite the congregation toappear at a meeting of the presbytery to be held at Montreal on the 20th to consider his resignation, about which there is some misunderstanding.A petition to the presbytery in favor of Dr Muir remaining as their pastor is being signed.\u2014The organ factory started again on Monday to finish the work that was on hand when the company failed, and will be kept going for a month, giving employment, however, to only a few of the bands.The foundry is kept going as usual and is doing an average amount of business, he inspectors of the Somerville and organ estates met last evening and agreed on measures to wind up both with the least pos- gible delay.\u2014Thedairymen\u2019sconvention, which meets here tomorrow (Friday) is an assured success, for the chief speakers have sent word they will be on band.Prof.Dean is heag of the dairy de- artment in Guelph college and Prof.illon is assistant to Prof.Robertson in the same department at Ottawa.Hon Mr Beaobien, minister of agriculture, bas accepted the invitation to be present.Captain Hugh McKinnon died in St An on esday morning.While the 50th battalion were lan ing near Port Lewis, on their return from helping to keep the in Montreal on the 12th July, 1877, by the premature firing of a rifle Mr Mc- Kinnon, then captain of the Dundee company, lost an arm.The deplorable accident ruined his prospects in life and led to complications of disease that ended iu bis comparatively early death.A year or so ago the government, for the second time, at the intercession of Mr Scriver, M.P., made him a small donation for being wounded while on duty.\u2014Monday was cloudy with a raw east wind that told of an impending storm.During the night there was a gale with a light fall of snow\u2014noth- ing to speak of.West and south of this the stort, of which the edge only passed here, was of great violence.All the Western States suffered severely, both from the wind and the heavy snowfall, and numbers of settlers on the prairies were frozen to death.The storm passed to the Atlantic along the central States, causing a snowfall of 12 inches in New York.Canada escaped, with the exception of the southern part of Ontario.\u2014Mr Ellsworth on opening the registry office on Friday morning found it had been visited unlawfully during the night.The thief bad unscrewed the outer window, then by raising the sash of the inside window gained entry.He took the small change kept in a drawer, between 8 and 4 dollars, the key of the side door, and left, without disturbing anything.The footprints showed the thief is a man and that he had used a small ladder.\u2014Huntingdon people will read this item with interest, as the pastor, Rev S.R.Brown, is a son of Saml.Brown of Hinchinbrook, and his wife is the eldest daughter of our townsman, W.W.Dalgliesh.Winnipeg.Feb.11.\u2014Fire broke out this morning in the Methodist church at Regina while worship was being held.\u2018The pastor quickly dismissed the congregation, who made their exit in a very orderly manner.After an hour\u2019s hard fighting, the fire brigade succeeded in extinguishing the flames.The fire was caused by an over-heated flue.The loss is fully covered by insurance.THIS EVENING A GRAND ENTERTAINMENT Musical and Elocutionary Under the direction of Mr

moral tone better, prohibition in Potsdam seems to pay directly even better than license, The last year that the latter polioy- prevailed there it paid $775 in fees; illegal selling amounts to $800.Potsdam puts energy and resolution into its prosecutions, and with public opinion supporting then manages to make prohibition a reality instead of a mockery.Wherever such conditions can obtained,

who was born in 1810, and ordained in 1835, Mr.Papineau's withdrawal from the Church of his tathers has elicited violent words from some quarters.La Liberte, of St.Scholastique referring to the attacks, says :\u2014*If we regret profoundly the abjuration of Mr.Papineau, we will never lavish on him insult and infamy.The Seigneur ot Montebello ia an honest man, « worker, a student, a convinced

difficulties of sinking shafts for mining or other purposes in wet \u2018\u201cmensures\u201d is the \u201cfi og rocssa.\u201d Supposing that the bottom of the shaft is so continuously flooded that the miners are unable to use their picks or in any way proceed with the excavation, pipes are run down from the surface to the flooded locality, and through these pipes is forced a powerful freezing mixture.The consequence is that the impeding water becomes solidified, and the workman can quarry -his way through the ice, which now becomes à pro section from the body of water beyond, sad the sinking of the shalt can be continued, THESE NEN ARE HEROES, YET UNKNOWN To FAME.The Country Doster and Ns Lite of Tol \u2014Bad Reads Dismay Nim Nes- Mis Brag Store and Bis Medicines, There is in Ontario to-day a class of he- roio men whose are not eung b and whose achievements will not be handed down the ages in the classic pages of eathu- siastio historians.The whole vocabulary of woe has been exhausted in narrating the sufferings of early Canadian settlers ; in moralizing upon the patient fortitude of the Jesuit fathers, their self-sacrificing work and cruel martyrdom, and later in writing magazine articles and books by the score upon the tribulation of the old-time Meth- ist cirouit rider and his noble yet withai grievous work.Yet, although examples of individual hardship may stand out mors ominently in the classes spoken of above t is indeed a question whether as a whole they suffered more or faced greater difficulties than that patient, painstaking, self- sacrificing body of men, known as country doctors, Could a young physician, fresh from the city, starting in a rural district and awaiting patients accurately forsee what he is destined to through in the mext forty or fifty years if he sucoeedy in building up what is known as a large practice, it is à de- 'batable point whether or not he would not take atonce an overdose or chloral and end the whole business right on the spot, Certainly, whatever emolument in the way of money might also be foreseen would not begin to compensate him for the toil and trouble that fall to the lot of his profession.The above statement may seem rather exaggerated to those who always associate the idea ot a doctor with a high rig, white hands snd large fees, but this article was primarily inspired by a conversation which the writer had with a country physician who lives not twenty-five miles out of Toronto, Iu wasabout a month ago,on the morning after that big blizzard had left our telephone wires in a state of total collapse and disarranged the whole street railway system.Said the doctor, \u2018I have not had an average of four hours\u2019 sleep a day for over two months.\u2018 You know what last night was like ! Well, 1 got in at eleven o'clock after driving over thirty milesabout the country duriug the day, and thought I would settle down to a night's rest.God knows I needed it ! Just take a look at my eyes and I tell you MY BRAIN 18 BEATING inside like a trip hammer, Well, I hadn't been in bed ten minutes, just beginning to go to sleep, when along came a man with the information that one of my patients had taken a turn for the worse.That patient lived nine miles from my office and you can imagine what that blizzard did to the roads.f crazed for want of sleep I turned out and drove that dreary road, dark as pitch and'rough as they make them.I tell you honestly that 1 prayed to God that I might be pitched out into the ditoh and break my neck.I didn\u2019t want to have a leg broken or anything like that, Sudden death would have suited me down to the toes, and you know Iam not the man to bluff, I tell you that men in the city don\u2019t know anything about hardships.Of course I get a fair income from my practice, but what is the use of money when I can't got » chance to spend it?The life of & count doctor is the life of a dog, and I don\u2019t care two straws when mine comes to an end.And yet people expect me to be civil when | I drive ten miles through a blinding snowstorm to attend them professionslly.\u2019\u201d This is the exact statement of the doctor and there was no mistaking his seriousness.His eyos were cavernous, and his whole appearance that of one who is little short of desperate.People who have never gone without sleep little know what irritation means.But when it is taken into account that enforced sleeplessness for half a dozen days and nighte in succession will drive a atrong-minded man TO THE VERGE OF INSANITY it is easy to understand this particular doctor\u2019s desperation.For during the winter months & series of cases of grip, pneumonia and other affections peculiar to cold wea- thet, occurring almost simultaneously, will keep a country physician on the move day and night.Hence it is that some country doctors take to drink, or dazed for want of rest, take an overdose of some sedative, or mistake the laudanum battle for that containing the juice of the white wheat.Hard- iy « month passes without some accident of this kind, and while the death certificate reads * accidentally poisoned,\u201d the real cause of dissolution is overwork, worry and lack of sleep.Yet notwithstanding the storm and the arrow, the rough roads and the blackness of midnight, the aching head and the long and lonely drive, it is the particular and crowning glory of the country dootor that he seldom or never refuses to go on his errand of healing and mercy at the call of distress.Fancy it, ye whose hours of toil terminate at four or five o'clock, who sit and read the latest novel until tem o'clock and then luxuriously retire to unbroken slumber! And ye city physicians of large income, who, in answer to the midnight summons, first carefully inquire who the patient is, and if not on your regular list, send down the answer that you have ceased doing night work, but that doctor an and so around the corner will probably be willing to give his services, - any and many a country physician Las tine and time again been awakened at two o'clock with the me:ssge that old Bill Smith's eldest child has got the croup again end is choking to death.Now, old Bill Smith's child has got croup sver winter since it was born, and old Bill Smith's wealth consists only of children and a yellow dog.Old Bill Smith\u2019s bill, 1f made out, would look like an invoice of a wholesale warehouse, but it has never been made out for the good and sufficient reason that the doctor knows well that he would simply be adding to the coat of the drugs be has already supplied, the cost of the ink which he would waste in writing out the bill, Old Bill has never paid him a cent and never will because he NEVER HAS A CENT and takes his pay for the services he renders to the farmers round about bim is begs of flour and salt pork.How many of Toronto\u2019s business men would seriously blame the doctor if he refused to drive half a score of miles over muddy roads to dig the phle, eat of the throst the offspring of old Bi of the city practitioner.In « be has more responsibility throwa upea him.le Toreato for instance if a dec- POL: tor encounters a serious cass where assistance is required at once, be can secure the services of half a dosen of his professional brethrea ia as many minutes.Then, too, the various hospitals, with all modern appliances and skil nurses, stand with wide epen doors for all extraordinary mis- hapa.Coatrast with this the condition of the country doctor, who, es away from any assistance, is forced to take measures of the utmost gravity alone, or with only such help as the rude intelligence of a farm community affords.As a compensation for this the country doctor often ovelops wonderful self coutrol and skill, but one cannot help thinking of the trying tenes through wh ich (home of them ave heen foroed to e di eir trying and respoasible tie, Are THE DOCTOR AS DRUGUIST.Doctors who out their shingle at the'| cross-roads are obliged to mix their own medicines.A little back room is ueuall fitted up into a laboratory containing al the renily necessary drugs, and as farmers sometimes call who do not wish the doctor to make à visit to their homes fession- ally, but describe symptoms and purchase medicine, some of the mixtares are said to be fearfully and wonderfully made.As the Physician has only such vagnesymptoms to wor! headache clear across over the ears\u201d \u2018\u2018looks like jaunders,\u201d etc, it follows that he must compound his medicine to suit a variety of diseases.So it is alleged tha \u2018a casessuch as these he simply seizes all the bottles not coctaining poison and incompatibles and mixes up a dose good alike for farmer, hired man, or beast, and he oharges for advice and for the medicine, After such experiences as have here been set down who can wonder that the dooter becomes crusty as he grows older ; that he seems to the country women to be a little hard hearted, and that the children for miles around can be conjured to cease crying by the mere mention of his dreaded name.is is the cass of an incellevtuatl man set to sufferings of a community wher e culture is comparatively unknown.Hedged about as he is by ignorance he makea the best ot his lot, and tries to get such enjoyment as he can when opportunity presents itself, It may seem small to the man of metropolitan views that the country doctor aspires to be reove of the township, and chairman of every debating contest and bun struggle held in his immediate neighborhood, but sizing up his trials and tribulations, his devotion to his profession and his self- sacrifice, it must bo admitted that he deserves the title of *\u2018hero\u201d equally with those who regard not their own inierests when the welfare of others is at stake.[= An African King.After Emin Pasha had learned of the fall of Khartoum aud the conquest of the Soudan > the Mahdists, ho gave up hope of bein able to defend the Equatorial Province wit! the force at his disposal.To rescue the Egyptians who garrisoned the various posts TY was now his first duty, and he began to make his plans for a march to the sea.The only practical route appeared to lie through the kingdom of Unyoro, which bounds the Province on the southeast.Accordingly he sent his medical officer, Vita Hassan, with valuable presents of ivory and other things, to the king of the country to obtain pormis- sion for the passago ot the troops through his dominiuns.This African monarch, who was named mere savage, showed that he possessed some of the qualities of a successful ruler.Among the presents sent to him was a little box which had come from Mambettu, a country in the extreme western part of the province.When the king noticed that it was made of a single piece of wood, he was very much pleased with it, and asked the euvoy whether he thought that his subjects were capable of imitating such work.© «1 answered him,\u201d says Vita Hassan, ¢ that the Wanyoro had no experience in such work, and that it would be very difficult for them to do it as well as the Mam- bettu, who were skilled in fashioning out of a block of wood the most varied and difficult objects.In a really artistic manner they are able to make dishes, plates, bowls, stands, and even Turkish jugs with their long and crooked necks.* The Wanyoro, on the other band, understand the preparation of skins.This is their speciality, as wood-working is that of the Mambeteu, My words aroused tho jealousy of Kabarega, and he counted on his fingere to five, and then said, \u2018 On this day,\u2019 pointing to the filth finger, \u2018come hers again, and I will show you whether or noi my people can make a box like this.\u2019 * On the fifth day the Wanyoro had succeeded, under the most frightful threats of the kiag, in manufacturing a similar box of perhape even better construction.Full of pride, Kaharega showed it to me with the words, \u2018 What use is it being a king if I cannot get my subjects to make everything which I wish ?*¢ But what if you desire something which is beyond their ability or their knowledge?\u2019 ¢ \u201cThere is no need of that, for I have not.lost my head ; I shall never bid them fetch me the moon, but if it is a thing which is not beyond our power, [ cannot permit, that.they should give up at the first difficulty.ing this seemed to howed my assent.\u201d ** For a negro kin very reasonable, and Mayor McCauley, of Edmonton, told » good story at a dinner lately.The old.timers had been reminiscent, and one of them had described the first flour mill taken into Edmonton, The affair was a small hand machine, which, when four war $25 a bag, proved a profitable investment.The Mayor declared that he had endeavour ed to purchaso a similar mill, and in reply to his enquiries in the East, had received a letter to the effect that the only record of such à mill that could be learned of was in the 14th chapter of Matthew, and the 15th verse, where it isreoorded of two women who were workingat a mill that one was taken and the other left, It was hinted that the owner must have met the woman that was left, and eo secured the mill, which was the only one of its kind in existence.on as \u2018\u2018 pain in the side,\u201d *\u201c à bad | work out his destiny in ministering to the Bob.Kabarega, though in outward appearance a 8 a as YOUNG FOLKS.WEY JACK DIDN'T WIN.\u201cHi!

down to work until after Enster us to be expected.The Liberal press is confident that the session will abroptly end in a dissolution, but those who calmly look at the situation from a non-partizan point of view are unable to see sufficient ground for such an event.Sir John Thompeon has lost little by the by- \u2018elections since last session and therefore can still count on the confidence of two-thirds of the members.Otherwise bis course has rather tended to strengthen than weaken his position.Hin success at Paris in the Bering sea arbitration has raised his standing and his politic

education first as a phygician and lastly and furnished in his youtban example of self-help which commands alike respect and admiration.The struggles of his youth against ungenial circumstances were surpassed by those of his manhood.A walarial disease, contracted while a missionary in the West Indies, entailed tu him a wrecked physique, culminating in loss of sight and paralysis of his limbs.Instead of sinking under flls that would cow 999 out of a 1000, he rose superior to them, pursued bis studies, and accomplished an amount of ministerial labor that would have doue credit to a clergyman in robust health.Stricken and maimed he strove to do his duty, and in forgetfulness of himself he attained his highest triumphs, for he became a power not only within the denomination he loved, but in the Dominion, for he grappled with public and political subjects as frankly and fearlessly as he did with those that fell within the purview of his calling.That his utterances on public affairs were always judicious or justified by facts cannot be said, but even when most open to criticism they had a good effect in stimulating thought and in helping to give a healthy tone to public opinion.He was pre-emin- ently a rhetorician, and the qualities that go to make the rhetorician are not those favorable to sound judgment or the balancing of opinions.He seized the salient points of any question thatetruck him, emphasized them, dilated upon them, and thrust them on his hearers with Titan force, while all that could be said on the other side was minimized if not iguored.He bad an extraordinary magazine of expletives, and, particularly of late years, delighted in framing sentences that were miracles Disasrer hus overtaken a détach- ment of French troops in northern -Africa.For many ypars the French thave been gradually extending their Bway southward from Algeria.To do so they were in a measure com- pelied, for in beating back one enemy from their frontiers they provoked another farther bnck.Skirting the great desert of the Sahara, the Frezich had come to occupy Timbuctoo, and from fhat town a small force had been despatched the last week in.January to disperse a body of natives who were threatening trouble.Baring the night the French camp was taken by surprise, and nearly all fn it put to death, including the com- enander, colonel Bournier and 9 officers.One report gives the loss at 80, another at 260.Overjoyed at Éheir success thé natives had ad- wanced on Timbuctoo, which was in danger of being captured, for it was held by only 300 French troppe.Reinforcements are being hurried forward from Algeria, but the distance to be marched is so great, that a decisive action will have taken place LUN before they can reach the sent of Rae 1

by his prophet-like denunciationsol sin, and his unspeakably tender pleadings to seek refuge from impending doom.His sermons abounded in passages poetical in conception and in expression but it was not the poetry of the idealist or of the idler, but of the man of power and action.In some regards he resembled the warlike race whose name he Bore.Tender to the suppliant, defiant to the obstinate;

at least.| = | An agitation to abolish the house of lords has been precipitated upon the electors of the old land.For this the lords are themselves to blame.In rejecting the home rule bill they did well, for they had the body of the people behind them, but when they proceeded to cut and carve two such popular measures as the bill providing for compensation from their masters to employees for injuries received while at work and the bill \u201cestablishing parish municipal councils, they placed themselves in antagonism to the people.Mr Gladstone\u2019s \u2018complaint is, that two bills adopted by large majorities in the house of commons and ratified by public opinion, have been destroyed of road-making and is vemall done in about one and dering the worst part of the season, when in many kinds of soil the ground is so dry as to make grading difficult or impossible.Statute labor is worth less than 50c a day, and is often worse than worthless because of the harm done by ignorant pathmasters.Proceeding to prove that good roads cost less than bad ones, Mr Pattullo pointed out how, In Ontario there are 350,000 working horses, and at $4 per bead loss of time through bad roads through the year\u2014not a big rate\u2014the total loss is enormous.Then there is the loss in injuries to horsesand vehicles.Take the cheese industry.There are in Canada 2000 cheese factories, and the cost to each of hauling milk, whey and cheese is probably $1000 each, or $2,000.000 a year for all.Good roads would reduce this by one- fourth, or half a million more profite would accrue to the cheese industry.He favored employing competent engineers to superintend the making of roads, and to begin with the leading roads.A farmer suggested that a remedy within the reach of all was the use of wide tires.Mr Campbell, a civil engineer, stated his experience in road-making to be that where ' gravel could be had within 8 miles of \u2018where it waa to be used, the cost for by amendments made

Qliver had an uncomfortable feeling that she would be too easily led.De Restaud had brought his wife to the lonely ranch after her mothe er's death, and had kept her à prisouer, He was inadly jealous of her, his crazed brain imagining all sorts of things she never dreamed of doing.Then it was also thought that, as he had entire control of her money, he kept her away from her friends for fear they might question his guardianship.Oliver was thinking of her one night two weeks after his strange visit.He was alone by the fire, tor Doctor John had gone to see the sick wife of & ranchman : the doctor said he felt the errand hopeless, as the man had told his wife's condition, but if they thought he might help he would go.\u2018He is a good old chap,\u201d Oliver said, aloud.Tho shepherd dog, thinking the compliment intended for him, gently thumped his tail on the floor.\u2018There's his gown and cap : he'll make an old guy of himself because his old landlady made them for him.I wish 1 had told him more about the girlat the ranch ;

turn his head.Soon she grew quiet, and her bead dropped against his shoulder, the soft wind lifting her curls to blow across his cheek.The dog, ornamented with the doctor's cap, slept in her lap.The rush of the near train terrified his horses almost beyond control, and he was ouliged to send her for the conductor when the train stopped for water.The obligin official showed no surprise at Oliver's

farewell until the train vanished in the distance.Oliver, as he drove along the road by the track in search of the Mexican who had the good horse, was alinost dazed.He could not forget that farewell.He'was haunted by the presence of the little lady of the roublesome, He had not returned the kiss, \u2014well, there was no time, \u2014but how thoughtless, in front of the train ! and was

Oliver.(TO BE CONTINUED.) erty A DARING EXPERIMENT.Morphine Taken With Impunity.Dr.William Moor of New York, discovered that permanganate of potash was an absolute antidote for morphine poisoning.At a meeting of his brethren he propounded his theory, and proposed to prove it by taking what ordinarily would prove a fatal dose of morphine, and then cancel its effects by swallowing the antidote.The medical men present endeavored to dissuade him from so risky an experiment, pointing out that it could be quite as convincingly demonstrated ou some of the lower animals.However correot the theory might be shown in a glass that permanganate of pov ash was capable of destroying the fatal properties of morphine, thero was a possi- ility that the chemical contents of the stomach might interfere with its successful working and lead to fatal results.Dr.Moor was not inclined to listen to the fears of his fellow-practitioners.They, on the other hand, desired to wash their hands of any responsibility, and passed a resolution to that effect, and refused to allow the chemist of the society to measure out the poison.Some of the gentlemen went so far as to personally implore Dr.Moor not tb persist in his rash experiment, but he assured them that he had the utmost confidence that there was no danger, He measured himself out three grains of \u2018morphine, three times as much as is necessary to produce death.Tho deadly drug was put in » spoonfulof water and then swallowed, It was a moat dramatic moment.Two of the spectators, unable to bear the tenseness of feeling, left the

Woulé Rather Go to the It bes always sirack may Lake t wa; me, writes Sharp, is the Detroit Free Press, as rathez funny, that while Eagland collectively claimg to rule the waves, Eoglishmen ivid.ually hate to eros the channel.Ho thinks nothing of taking a voyage te the Cape, te India, to Avecsatie, hod Amarin or la part of the world, but eve abhors the channel.v There are five methods of crossing the channel from England to the continent,and 1 name them, beginning with she shortest and ending with the longest.First, from Dover to s ; second from Folkestone to Boulogne; thitd, from Newhaven to Dieppe : fourth, from Dover to Ostend, and fifth, from Southampton to Havre or St, slo, The Dover-Calais route is often unreasonably long because of the wretched boats that sometimes make the crossing.This famous route is à standing ecemplification of the greatest patienca of Englishmen.It is the highest-priced route,and the one that has the worst ts.I crossed the other Sunday in a little tub that would not be allowed to act asa ferry boat on the Detroit river.Some of the boats crossing from Calais to Dover are not vo bad, but in taking o ticket a man never knows whether he is to cross in a tub or in one of the better boats.The company has the monopoly and the patient public stand it.When one thinks of a Fall River line from New York to Fall River or Newport, and the comfort, elegance and luxury of the boats, as well as the cheapness of the fare from New York to Boston, one wonders at the patience of the Englishman who puts u with such wretched accommodation an poys such s high price for it.he line between London and Paris ought to be one of the most valuable routes in the world, and doubtless it would be, if it were properly managed.As it is, the Dover.alais route is a disgrace to civilizationand, is, in my opinion, the second worst of those crossing the channel, The Boulogne and Folkestone route I should class as the best.The boats are good, and they practically consume but little more than is taken by going via Dover and Calais.Then, too, Boulogne is a picturesque town, while Calais is a flat, stale and unprofitable village, and not worth looking at.The worst route of all is that between Newhaven and Dieppe.The steamers are reasonably large and powerful, but the first-class accommodation on them is beneath contempt.Half the might is consumed in making the crossing and no adequate accommodation is provided for even the first-class passenger.He is com- lled to sleep on a series of shelves in one Pege cabin, unless he is willing to pay an exorbitant price for a stateroom holding four persons, and if one person alone occu- ies a stateroom he has to pay four prices or it.But the staterooms are few, and often when a man is willing to poy the exorbitant charge he is compelled to reat his weary hesd on the benches and greasy plush pillows provided in the main cabin.The boats, too, have an uncomfortable habit of missing the tide and keeping the passengers out in the channel until the water is deep enough in the harbor to allow them to get in, and as this usually happens when a storm is on, the experience of Fring to, in a rough sea in sight of port, is one of the most exasperating things that a man can be called upon to endure, The Southampton route to Havre or St.Malo is really a most comfortable trip for one who does not mind a night voyage, The boats are the largest and most powerful on the channel.Two first-class cabins are provided, and those who wish it can get a comfortable sleeping bunk, similar to those in a Pullman car, where they can undress comfortably and get a good night's sleep, and this without any extra charge above first-class fare, Unfortunately, as a Paris route, the boats run only three times aweek, If they ran every night I am convinced that this would be a most popular road to Paris, for the journey from London to Southampton is but two hours by good trains, and the journey from Havre to Paris is the shortest and most interesting, as it passes along the Seine through the most picturesque scenery of northern France It is the route taken by French transat- lantio travelers to reach Paris Compared with the long and uninteresting route from Calais to Paris the route from Havre is much to be preferred.The line of boats running from Dover to Ostend belongs to the Belgian government, and is the only line urossing the channel that isnot English, The boats are splendid vessels, Clyde-built and powerful, and they do the journey in about four hours.The trouble with the Ostend boats, however, is that they ave too big for the men who work thea.The Belgian engineers, captains, and officers are apparently not the men to operate such fine steatners, More accidents oocur on the Dover-Ostend line than on soy other route crossing the channel, althoug some very serious disasters have happened on the Frenoh coast near Dieppe, as, for instance, when the fine steamer Victoria was lost through the negligence of the Frenchman who operated the fog signal on that iron-bound coast.The signalman went to bed, and the fog arose while he was asleep.His wife woke him when the fog oame up, and he started a fice under the boiler, which supplied steam for the fog- whistle, but with the first toot of the horn the steamer Victoria went on the rocks,and & number of her passengers were drowned in attempting to reach the land.For the American Passengers coming by the Inman line, or the North German Lloy to Southampton, the route by Havre is the best to Paris.From London the best route is undoubtedly that by Folkestone and Boulogne.Her Part.Perhaps there is no man who needs » good wife more than the editor of a news- per.It is pleasant, therefore, to find the foliowing in an

oarpebor & Breakfast Dishas.The following receipts have been deman- strated by Miss Farmer in a rezent lecture at the Boston Cooking school.Miss Farmer thinks that the making of à corn cake is something of a test of a cook's ability in plain family cookery as perfectly made reakfast corn cakes are not so common as one would suppose.The rule given is: Sift three fourths cupful ot corn meal, one and one fourth cupfuls of pastry flour, two rounding teaspoon\u2018uls of baking powder, one fourth cupful of sugar and one-half teaspoontul of salt; add a scant cupful of milk, one egg well beaten and one tablespoonful of melted butter.Beat thoroughly and bake in a shallow pan 20 minutes.Mix the ingredients in the order given.Remember that a corn meal mixture requires a more generous measure of baking powder than is needed for flour alone.The success of an omelet depends greatly upon the freshness of the eggs and always select the largest eggs for an omelet.An om>let pan is not essential, especially if a large omelet is to be made, a smooth frying pan will answer.the purpose as well.A second essential to success is in beating Lhe eggs ; the yolks may be beaten until lemon colored and the whites stiff and dry al though there is such a thing as beating them to much.The air which is beaten into the eggs and is expanded by the heat makes the omelet light.There is a great variety of omelets made by adding different materials too the eggs or folding it over something in the centre.To butter the pan rub the butter around tke edges and let it run down to the centre using only sufficient to cook the omelet.For the bread omelev soak three-fourths cupful of fine stale bread crumbs in three-quarters of a cup of milk fifteen minutes.If at the ond of that time all the milk has not been absorbed drain it out, Adda teaspoonful of salt and half a saltapoonful of pepper, the yolks of five eggs until thick and lemon colored and last the whites of five eggs until they are stiff and dry or wilt fly from the eggbeater.Fold the beaten whites in careful ly, not beat them in.Turn into a hot buttered omelet or frying pan and set on the stove to cook slowly on the under side then set the pan in the oven on the upper grate to dry on the top.Have a platter heated, fold the omlet and turn on to it, To fold an omlet incline the pan and putting the knife ander one side lift the omlet gently, slowly turn it over, one halt on the other, letting it take time to bend and not break.At this lecture a white sauce was poured around the omelet and made by using one and one-half cupfuls of milk, One and one- half tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter and a acant halt teaspoonful of salt.The omièlet was also garnished wit h crisp broiled bacon, Bacon is convenient for breakfast and should be sliced thin and the rind removed.To broil it put it in a wire broiler, the slices placed closely together.Put the broiler on a dripping pan and cook in the oven until crisp.This way of cooking bacon saves room on top of the stove and time in watching ; the fat dropa into the dripping pan leaving the bacon crisp which may be further drained on brown paper.Bacon is used as & garnish with liver and with beef steak.An extremely delicate dish is a lemon souffle but itshould be served at once lest it fall.Beat the yolks of five oeet until thick then add gradually a cupful of powdered sugar which has been sifted an the grated rind and juice of a lemon.Beat the whites of five eggs until dry and stiff and fold it into the other mixture.Turn into à buttered pudding dish, set itin a pan o hot water which comes at least hali way up the side of the dish.bake the souffle thirty minutes.Wash the lemon betore grating.Never allow a souffle to wait before serving.Pork tenderloins are not always easily o\u201ctained because the marketman does not always like to out them out separately.They will weigh about a pound each, wipe them and put oto a dripping pan seasoning the upper side with salt, pepper and powder de sage.After à time turn the tenderloins and season on the other side.Bake about forty-five minutes but be sure that the pork is thoroughly cooked.Sweet potatoes are sometimes couked with the pork by first paring them and parboiling them for 10 minutes.Drain, put in the n with the mest and cook until tender, ting cften.Put the potatoes on to par: boil when the meat goes into the oven snd they will be done at the same time.White potatoes when baked ir.the pra with meat are better for parboiling at first.Salmon box is n convenient way of using cold boiled salmon or canned salmon.Bol a cup of rice by first washing it well in plenty of cold water, throwing it into three cups of boiling water seasoned with two level teaspoonfuls of salt.It it is new rice it will cook in less time than if old.Have a square or brick mold and line it with the warn rice: fill the centre with the salmon picked into flakes, seasoning it in layers with salt, pepper and a elight grating of nutmeg, with a layer of rice, fasten the mold and steam for en hour.Turn the box on to a hot platter and pour an egg sauce round it This sauco is also for boiled salmon and

the matetia medios and found oaly palliative.The spigrams of the Irishman has remained true that the passenger is **first afraid that the boat will go down; and then afraid that it won't.\u201d Now, however, medical science is testing two now methods of dealing with the disorder.The first remedy is » bypo- dermio injection of atropine and strychnine dissolved in mint = water.The other is the oyment oi newly-compounded dru pi chlorobrom.The application of thes to seasickness dates back scarcely a year.They are being tried after a particularly searching study of the causes, nature, and symptoms of the disease.The external symptoms of seasickness are well known, Paleness, increase of saliva, dizziness, headache, vertigo, nauses, prostration- such are the progressive steps.he internal progression is ably given as follows by Dr.Skinner, the leading specialist on naupathis : \u201c Movements, slight or considerable, and repeated displacements, collisions a stretching of various organs of the body, eapecially the abdominal organs, and unequal and alternate increase and lessenin of the pressure exerted by the columns of blood upon the walls of the arteries and veins ; reflex nervous acts, starting from the displaced and strained organs and from the wal ls of the blood vessels, and acting by inhibition upon the zardio-accelerator and vast-conatrictor centres ; paralysis of these centres ; relaxation of the walls of vessels of medium calibre and diminution of the number of cardiac puisations, whence results a lowering of the arterial blood pressure.This lowering of pressure of blood in the arteries ia followed by vertigo, nauses, and the main external signs, Impreasad by the significance of such lowering, Dr, Skinner chose such drugs as would stimulate that pressure, and studied the question how they should most beneficially be administered.The drugs he took were atropine and atrych- nine, to be given simultaneously.The problem of their administration was difficult Any drug given Ly the mouth would either be vomited up or would fail of absorption in & seasick stomach.He ultimately tried subcutaneous injection.For adults he used from a half to cne milligramme of atropine and one milligramms of strychnine dissolved in mint water, The following is the fcrmula now used in many, or most, cases : Atropin.sulphat., .002 gramme.Strychin.suiphat., 004 gramme.Aqua menth.pip., 4 grammes.Using auch poisons requires great attention on the part of the ship's surgeon, who, before employing an injection, should proportion the dose to the age, condition, and constitution of the patient.These injections have in almost all cases been highly satisfactory.In many cases their results have been almost miraculous.Some patients who, on receiving injections, were in the most acute stages, suffering both from nausea and prostration, became able Lo promenade the deck and enjoy the voyage within two or three hours.Patients who have received injections at 9 o\u2019clock at night have usually been totally free of the malady the following forenoon._, Simultaneously with the use of this injection began the trial of the new drug chloro- brom, which was the first used to insomnia On trial in seasickness, chlorobrom was found the strongest of known palliatives in advanced cazes and an almost certain cure in other cases.Itacts by increasing arterial pressure and toning and soothing the nerves.Surgeons on the long voyages from England to Now Zealand and Australis have found it to succeed in long standing cases, in which the old remedies ad scarcely acted even as pallistives.As the record of trials with these two remedies increases, their position will become better known.It is not exaggeration to say that they are the most engrossin subjects of study among marine medi students, and are among the most important topics of the whole medical fraternity.In avoiding or delaying wseasickness, a firm will not to\u2018succumb is often of assistance.À strong and lively interest in the voyage is of more value.A reclining position on a berth or a steamer chair is better than standing or sitting.A broad, tight cloth wound around the abdomen is particularly useful.A cup of stron coffee, swallowed at the very incipiency of the ailment, at the first suspicion of an increase of saliva or of dizziness, will frequently stave off an sttack.If taken five minutes later, the stomach may be too sgitated to absorb it., Sodium and potassium bromides, if taken some days before sailing, will oocasionally act as preventives of all but the light features.Four grams a day, in from two to four doses, make the proper amount.Mor- hine, antipyrine, quinine and chloral ydrate are also of some bat uncertain value as preventives, Lemons and peppermint, are more or less useful as palliatives, : Facts About Diseass Germs.Among the well-known diseases whose bacterial origin is already placed beyond reasonable doubt are erysipelas, tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, typhoid fever, croupous pneumonia, and influenza, The facts discovered re ing some of these daring the past fifteen years are among the strangest of the * true fairy

with one who had lived on the fat of the land.The ohange affected him in many ways, but he complained more particularly of the injury the food cost to his teeth.They were neither numerous nor in good condition when he was sentenced,and, as they rapidiy became worse, he applied to the governor of the prison for « now set.Beiug told that the Government did not supply prisoners with artificial teeth, at the first opportunity he wrote to the banking firm in question, offering, if they would send him & new set, to tell them something to their sdvantege.Thereupon the bankers, thinking the offer might be a genuine one, sent the governor of the prison & cheque for £5 and asked him to provide the convict with a net of artificial teeth.Ta due jourse the convict kept his promises and sent the bankers certain information, by means of which they were enabled to recover no less than £1,600 of which they bad been defrauded.They naturally regarded this as the best investment they had ever made, but it

have twios ano at Koriume on the Niger, the post of Time bactoo, and nine miles from that city.Hundreds of Tuareg tents were sont over the plain, and the French did not at tempt to reach the town.They did not retreat up the river before having severe fights with the nomads, who blased awa! from the banks, their flintlooks charged with gunpowder made in the town.In stronger force the French heve now been able to occupy Timbuctoo.They knew the enemy they would meet again when they should finally seize the most famous town in the western Soudan.Since the gunboat Mage returned from the neighbor.vod of Timbuotoo in 1890, the French have been planning to plant their flag in THE FORBIDDEN CFTT.It is not likely that they have now taken the final steps without providing adequate means, uot only to oocupy the town, bat also ta satablish themselves firmly in Possess sion.The recent fight with the Tuaregs occurred on the river, south of Timbuctoo, and Lieut.Jaime\u2019s survey of the river in 1890 ahows that the Tuarega then held the banks for about filty miles above the town.By agreement with England, France's sphere of influeuce extends over nearly all of the Sahara desert.Her soldiers at their Algerian outposts have long looked south ward over the sandy plains.At last from the southern edge, they are looking north over the great waste that nominally belongs to France.The French now ecoupy both the northern and southern frontiers of their Saharan domain.Timbuotoo to-day is only the shadow of ita former self.The time was when the town did a large trade with the Mediterranean States.Sultan El Kal of Morueco, planted wooden posts clear across the desert to mark the best route for caravans between his dominions and Timbuctoo.The Tuaregs have ruined this caravaa route and almost depopulated the town.These people are THE MOST FORMIDABLE BRIGANDS in the world.They are supposed to number about 400,000 souls, and they have spread their encampments across the central Sahara until they now extend from Ghadames in the north to Timbuctoo in the south.Outlawed by all men they make à hase of the African question with which civilization is beginning to deal.Dr.Lonza who saw them in Timbuctoo in 1880 says that their wild aspect, their faces hall concealed by coverings, their big swords and lances never laid aside for an instant, their rough, loud voices, and their self- conscious bearing made a most disagresable impression upon him.The conquering Fulani on the south and the invading l'ua- regs on the north have more than once, is recent years, made Timbuctoo the prize of war.Ip 1880 Dr.Leos reported that ite opulation had dropped to 20,000 le.he French, revarning from their first expedition in 1390, said the town did not contain over 3,600 souls.It is still, however, the natural centre of commerce and the principal town of the upper Nirer.With Timbuetoo in thelr hands, the French will control a thousand miles of navigation on the great West African river and may make the place a centre of large influence for the extension of their authority and trade.Timbuctoo will no longer be: one of the mysteries of Afrioa res white men have told us nearly all we know of it.They lived a while in the fanatical town, for the disguises they skilfully assumed were not penetrated.THR TROPICAL SUN and hot winds helped them for these agencies had turned their skins nesrly black.The town was so utterly unknown, aad the difficulties of reaching it were so great, chat the first man to bring reliable and detailed information was discredited for years.Caille\u2019s book contains scores of pages about Timbuctoo, but many geographers in Europe were incredulous snd said they did not believe he had ever seen the town.Caille died fourteen years before Barth proved that he had told the truth and hed written a valuable book.Forty-one years ago, When Barth lived there for seven months, à number of men famous for their attainments in Arabie learning and the history of the Soudan, bai their homes in the town, Timbuctoo was rich in manuscripts of historical value.A number of them were translated by Barth, and it is not improbable that the French occupation will result in literary discover- jes that will throw much light upon the history of « most important of Africa.One one the towns that have ben famous chiefly for their efforts to keep 1he Christian world ad thele walls, have been com to to premure Western Tp les who had long knocked vainly at their gates.Meco is not yet es pesithy ince for the Cancasian, but if event of wide dogs occurred there esterday, the telegraph spreads the news a over the world to-day.Harsr now bas Europeans merchants and e regular mail service.Scores of white men are to-day in Timbuctoo, and recentiy a white woman has been aimoet within sight of Lbasse.Barriers of exclusivenees are weakening everywhere, and are boand to give way before the onslaught of the Western nations Resignation.Jack\u2014*T heard that
