structlon and embarkation on board

duplicate of the French one, and is
to have It's termini at Lands End and
Halifax. It's main length will be 3, 900
miles, and it will cost, less the laying

being placed on board the Great East

ready large portion is on board, and
early in the coming year it is
contemplated to put it IN use. The
experience of the past has given some
important lessons on the construction
of this cable, and every approved and
new feature that has been submitted
by electricians and engineers has met
investigation and adoption. The ma

also improved, and marine cable lay

A Missing Point.

A Cairo paper reports that the Sur
veyor General of Canada and the AS
tonomer to the ROYAL Engineer Corps
have been in that city searching for the
points where, in 1907, the waters of the
Mississippi and Ohio joined. This is
necessary to settle the boundary of a
tract of land, 400 miles square, in
Canada, always in dispute, and in the
original titles defined by landmarks,
one OF which, the junction named, was
directly south of one corner of the
tract. Her Majesty's Government has
gone to work in earnest to locate this
missing point, which portion of old
Cairo residents assert is now out in
deep water, while others are equally
certain that it is far inland.

A NOBLE ANIMAL.
A Do. That is Worth Something.

ADos That is Worth Something.
The following is from the Portland
Press:
A. G. Newman, assistant light-keeper
at Mount Desart, is the owner of a tne
Newfoundland dog, of whom we are told
the following anecdote: "On Sunday the
18th ult., MI. Newman's little boy, nine
years cid, strayed away and was missing
for about two hours. The mother went
out of doors and called to him, when the
dog in response, ran up from the shore
with the boys wet cap in his mouth, and
signifed by his actions that he desired
her to follow him. The mother, alarmed,
called the father who was sleeping in the
house, and they followed the dog as
quick as possible. Down by the shore on
a rock. the little boy was lying insensi-
BILE, his clothes wet, as if he had been
dragged from the water After long eff
forts, in which the dog rendered all the
assistance he could in his mute way, the
boy Was resuscited, and afterwards told
his story. lie was on the beach gather
ing shells when a large wave came in
and carried him off in the undertow The
dog jumped in after him, but the wave
prevented him from reaching the boy for
some minutes. He siezed him by the leg
of his trowsers and tried to drag him
ashore, but the cloth tore in his teeth;
and the boy said he had an indistinct re-
collection of the dog coming down below
the surface for him again and that was
the last thing lie was conscious Of 1t
seems that the dog had dragged the child
upon the rock out of the reach of the
waves and had tried to restore him.
When he heard the mothers call he took
the cap to inform Der, as we'll as he cou d,
OF the affair, and hasten assistance. u

See how they crowd and snort below,
And fight for husks all brown and dry
While at their feet, like beads of snow.
The pearls you throw to feed them lie.
Tears that the bruised and breaking heart
Hides in It's shell, to jewels turn
They have their value in the mart,
They glittef they cease to burn.
Go, take them to the smiling bride,
Your life that lives in frozen tears
Phey crown her dark hairs odorous pride,
The heart-beats swing them in her ears.
Oh, fool, to fling them to the swine,
That tramp and scratch and rend below !;
You pour away your life divine,
And think to reap the grain you SOW.
Know, then, that all your waste is vain
Vainlv these precious gems are thrown,
The snuffiing beasts that crowd the plain
Are hungry beasts, and beasts alone;
Alas what dream of foul despair,
What lavish love, hath power divine
To work an answer to your prayer,
To make you angels out of swineI

"In all these quartess of Paris where

are said to be particularly voracious and

A Successful Gamester,

A correspondent writing from HON.
burg lss-Bains sends us the following :
" have on several occasions written
to you about the wonderful good for
tune of Commander Bugeja, the wealthy
lnhab1tant of Malta, who comes here
at irregular times and invariably wins
large sums. On his return lately from
the feteS at Berlin he recommended
playing, and won every day from 5O,-
900 to 100, 900 francs, and sometimes
even more. In fact, the bank has lost
so considerably of late that doubts are
entertained OF its continuing open I'M
til the 31st of December, when the pri-
vllege, as you are doubtless aware, en-
tlrely ceases. M. Bugeja has even
forced the director to throw in fresh
capital to the amount of 800, 900 francs,
and has SO completely absorbed the
sums which the establishments may have
won from other players that it's half
yearly dividend, which in other years
was fifteen, twenty, and even twenty
five per cent, will scarcely be for the
present one more than a few lxreutzers
per share. ss--I
Such constant and wonderful sue
cess has alarmed the company which
farms the rooms, and NJ. Blanc, the di-
rector, has notified to M. Bugeia that
the permission which had been accord
ed him of putting down 25, francs
at once is now withdrawn, and that he
must for the future content himself
with going up to only $4,000 francs,
like every one else. Itappears that the
authorities have had something to do
with this alteration, as the town of
Homburg has certain share in the
gains of the table. But as very large
stake is required occasionally for the
system of M. Bugeia, that gentleman is
trying to obtain change, and perhaps
some arrangement may be arrived at. "

An Actors Resources.

The actor Hind was remarkable for
his presence of mind and fertility in
expedients. One evening, while play
ing in some forgotten melo drama, he
extricated himself with honor from an
awkward difficulty. He represented
the hero of the piece, hardened brig.
and, caught at last, and awaiting his
doom in a sonbre cell. One of his ac-
compl ces had contrived to convey him
a rope-ladder and file. His business
was to file through the bars of his
prison window, and attempt to escape
through the opening. At the moment
when he was getting out of the window,
three soldiers had to rush on the stage,
fire at him, and shoot him dead. Hind
duly went through his part; but at the
critical moment of the expected fatal
catastrophe, the guns missed fire. The
soldiers retreated in disorder, and I'M
mediately returned with fresh muskets,
which, not being loaded, merely flashed
n the pan. Kinds position was be-
coming unpleasant. Suddenly he fell
upon the stage uttering fearful cries,
dragged himself to the foot lights in
apparent agony, and exclaimed, "Mer-
ciful Heaven L have swallowed the
file " Then, after well performed CON
vulsions, and another loud groan, he
fell stark dead. The audience, who
had begun to mufmur, were appeased
with the clever improvisation.

October.
BY RACHEL PoMERoY.

Life seems worth while upon day ike this,
Packed full of flavor as a nut OF meat;
The acrid faint that often spo1ls their sweet
Now clarified, its mellow juices miss,
STEPPED by yon sun into pure drops of bliss.
Such weather makes one scott at tropic heat,
And feel less sad for summers flying feet,
So rare the honey Of parting kiss.
Yesterdays fog somehow befogged the brain,
And in the blood streak of madness wove;
But this Northwestern Sits bad creams in twain,
As Saladin's scimiter tbs cushion Glove.
Iwould not change the crisp, immortal breeze,
For all the balm of spicy summer seas.

Covering Manure.

1t is remarkable that more attention is
not given to the subject OF covering manure
from the weather, and especially from too
much rain. Those who have given the mat
ter particular attention have found that
manure so protected is worth double that
which is left out in the open air. Two loads
for one is profit few farmers can afford to
lose. There is no question which so vitality
concerns the farmer as this one of manure.
Much that he does has reference to it..
Straw is not to be sold, because it makes
manure. Stock is fed through the winter
for the express purpose of manure making.
Articles which scarcely pay to send to
market are, neverth e1ess, taken to tt city
IN order that manure may be brought back
as return load and yet, the whole of the
manure made remains all the season ex-
posed to the sun, wind and rain, until it is
diminished in value to so great an extent
as it is. The trouble is that few really
believe that exposed manures undergo this
loss. But the matter has been throughly
tested to admit oft DOUBT. We know first
class farmers who did net themselves be-
lleve 1t, until by actual experiment thew
found out its truth. In arranging farm
buildings it will pay well to look as much
to the pre- servation of the manure as of The
hay or grain, and those VINO have their
buildings already finished without these
manurlal arrangements will find S25 or
