CANADIAN PONIES ON SABLE ISLAND
When measures were first taken to
furnish Sable Island with means OF sus-
tenance for shipwrecked sailors it was
found that the solitary shrub which that
mass of shifting sand produces could not
support life in any of the animals placed
there, except the small shaggy Canadian
pony. After time this species grew
wild and could only be caught in trench
es OVERLAND with boughs and straws
Their method of procuring water was
peculiar. They followed their leader, a
stallion, to the strand and there dug wells
with their hoofs in the sand rear the
water. The water which gradually oozed
through was perfectly fresh.

best way to clean the inside of tea-pots,

to fill them with water in which few

quently. They may be washed, if not
too short, or replaced by new ones. The
unsatisfactory light sometimes afforded
by kerosene lamps is often caused by
the pores of the wick being filled with
refuse matter, which obstructs the free
passage of the oil.
CAULIFLowER PICKLE. Select the

sprinkle salt on them in three days put
them in earthen jars, pour scalding salt
water upon them; let them stand six or

or the root will keep pickles from mold-

PRESERVING ToMAToEs.-In order to
preserve tomatoes through the year, it is
not necessary TO resort 10 the expense of
canning them. If stewed in the ordi-
nary manner, but without butter or
crackers, only little salt and sugar,
they can be put into jugs-two-quart or
gallon, according to the size of the fam
ily-and if corked up tightly, will keep
for year. To make assurance doubly
sure, some melted wax may be poured
around the corks. Tomatoes may also
De dried easily. Skinned and prepared
with little sugar they make a good
substitute for figs, and are sold under
the name of tomato figs.

noRRoRs or TURKISH cRUEL1I.



The devilish cruelty of the Turks
makes the Servians express themselves in
tones of deep horror and disgust. After
the defeat at Velixi-Isvor, they com
mcnced to mutilate the Servian
wounded, and to murder the prisoners
who fell into their hands, to the number
of nearly one thousand. Unfortunately
a great many officers were made prison.
ers, and these were the special objects of
Mussulmen hatred and sayagery. After
being tortured in a manner worthy of the
red Indians of the plains, their heads
were cut off, and reeking and dipping,
carried about on poles, in the Turkish
camps, to be hooted at and stoned.
These odious and revolving acts were re-
ported in due course TO Leschanine, and
l received them from the lips of his
CHER of staff. So great has the horror
become among the Servians at these
continued acts of barbarism, that officers
and men always endeavor TO reserve one
cartridge in their revolver so as to blow
their own brains out as soon as they fall
into the hands of the Turks. 1t is easy
to affirm the truth Of all this. Your
partial correspondent and your diplomat
may stay at a distance and pooh, pooh,
but the fact will remain. Civilized
Europe Is always considered the leader
of the world, but she allows Turkey to
butcher and destroy; she allows empe-
rors to be made and unmade within the
holy precints of St. Sophia-rulers who
neither know nor condescend to under
stand the people they govern-and
although women and children are muir
dered by a regular soldiery like pigs and
sheep, and dead bodies mutilated beyond
recognition, the Porte is still considered
as being within the pale of civilization
one of the great powers" of the nine
teenth century.

From the Report of the Hartford steam Boiler ana

From the Report Of the Hartford steam Do'i'' anu
Inspection Company
a weak spot in a boiler, or III any
other device, does not improve by use
and when a machine breaks down at
point which is ascertained to have been
weak for long time, no one Is impressed
with the necessity of going into long
discussion to show that mysterious agen-
cies were suddenly brought to bear upon
the weak point causing the break. Inc
fact Is, the point of fracture was unable
to sustain the load imposed upon 1t. IL
did its very best, but when the load was
not lessened, yet the deterioration OF
metal continually going on, a time
came when, from inability to hold
on longer, the machine broke down. Is
there any mystery about it? Is there
any mystery about the fact that boiler
of six and a half feet in diameter, run
ming at a pressure of seventy pounds to
the square inch, with one OF the sheets

I ploded, doing serious damage. We think
/ not, and we further think that all efforts
TO surround such cases with mystery
worthy only of those who have scared
so.high into the regions Of theory that
they are reluctant to step down before
and into, the presence of facts and com
mon sense. Boilers should be periodi
cally inspected, with much care, so that
any Indications Of weakness may be dis
covered before it Is too late. There are
few if any defects that careful externa
and internal examination, with chisel
and hammer, viii not discover, and we
would advise all boiler owners to secure
the services of some competent man Il
examine their boilers carefully at least

OUR COAST LINEs.-Few persons not
familiar with geography will believe that
the Pacific ocean boundary of the United
States has greater extent of coast line
than the Atlantic shore. The aggregate of
our shore line on the Pacific is 1874
miles. whilst on the Atlantic it is II, $50
miles and on the gulf of Mexico 6,343
miles. California contains ], 136 miles of
the coast line on the Pacific, whilst she
has also two hundred and seventy-two
miles of island shore and two hundred
and forty miles of tide-water river shore,
making all together sos miles of shore
line. Texas has an actual coast line on
the gulf of ,2O9 miles, whilst Florida has
l, IA miles on the gulf ano three hum
dred and sixty-three miles on the
Atlantic, so that both exceed California
in this particular. 1t is the annexation
of Alaska that has promoted the Pacific
coast to higher figures than the Atlantic,
Alaska having 9. $50 miles of coast line
These figures are taken from the coast
survey reports.

The first years Of every mans business or

are intended to be in the order of nature
and Providence. Doors do not open to
man until he is prepared to enter them.-
The maa without Il wedding garment may
get in surreptitousy, but he Immediately
goes out with flea in his ear. We think it
is the experience of most successful men who
have watched the course of their lives in
retrospect, that whenever they arrived at a
point where they were thoroughly prepared
to go up higher, the door to higher place
has swung back of itself, and they have heard
the call to enter. The old die, or voluntarily
retire for rest. The best men who stand
ready to take their places will succeed to
their position and its honors and emoluments.
