long statement, purporting to be authen-
tic, comes from Queensland, by way of the
London papers-even the Times itself quot
ing the article at length. The Brisbane Cour-
ier, which attains unusual publicity in her
aiding this remarkable discovery to the world,
states that certain Signor Rotura has hit up
on method of freezing creatures alive and
thawing them again when wanted for use.
By the application of n vegetable poison, life
is suspended and to prevent decomposition
the animals operated on are placed in freez-
ing chamber;
When revival is desired they are thawed
in a warm BATH an antidote is administered,
and the animal wakes up apparently none
the worse for its cold sleep. Signor Rotura,
the account says has, with the aid of a cap
italst constructed works in Sydney HarbOr
for the purpose of utilizing his discovery.
Here, the writer states that he saw fourteen
sheep, four lambs and three pigs that had
been frozen alive for nineteen days, and were
to be left in the cold for three months more.
One lamb the writer saw brought back to con-
sciousness and in ten minutes it was strug-

ing about the garden. The practical use to
be made of this almost incredible discovery
will be the sending of animals to distant coun-
tries where they can be consumed, or revived
and turned out TO grass The experiment
has not yet been tried with human subject,
but Signor Rotura has applied for felOn TO
operate on.

Laura sent mo down with shawl for Miss
Blake"
All of sudden the shawl foolish white
thing of Lauras, dropped out of his hand as
he stared at Sid where she sat quite still in the
boat
Good heavens my Snow-brd !" he said,
in queer, half-whispered sort of voice.
Sid had forgotten all about bailing as she
sat there staring at him. had not thought
much about il either, il was all so queer and
the water had been creeping up and up, until
it was over our ankles. All of n sudden, and
before Sid could say word, the boat gave n
sort of wObble and went down, and we Were
sitting up to our necks in water. | don't
know whether Burr or Philip was worst
scared. As for Sid and me, we just sat and
laughed. Burr got hold of me, though and
Philip got hold of Sid, and yanked us up,
and there we were, the drippingest crowd
ever you saw in your life, and all standing in
water over our knees.
"Miss Jones!" said Philip.
He was talking to Sid but what on earth
he called her that for neither of us could
make out.
'Tisn't Miss jones'" said "Its Sid
Sidney Blake. Didn't they tell you at The
house?'
sidney Blake p said Philip, in dazed
kind Of way. "But you were Miss Jones
Lucy Jones once
II Lucy Jones = said Sid, looking puzzled
'Hou left II book in the train on that night "
said Philip, with Lucy Jones written in it,
have the book now
But Sidney had begun to laugh so, he stop
ped to hear what she had to say.
1T was a book that one of the pupils lent
me, she said-"the same one who gave me the
caranels. had TO buy another to make up
for the loss of it. and l couldn't afford it very
well either Now, if it is all the same to you,
Mr. Marsh, / think we had better 80 back to
the house and get dry clothes on"
''Did Laura send you down here = | said,
as we were going back. IF she did, know
what it was for. She thought Sid would look
SO ugly you'd never want to see her again"
Nonsense :" said Sidney.
But Philip only said, "She knew you were
my Snow bird"
''Sho couldn't" said Sid 81 never once
spoke of it,"
But made a sketch of you, and she saw
it in my sketch-book, and couldn't mistake, "
said Philip. "Yes, l begin to see"
thought began to see a thing or two, too,
but didn't say any thing-for a wonder
SO that's why Sid never went to the fine
situation nanny found for her at all, but
staid on with us. And she makes Just the
jolliest sister fellow ever had As for Laura,
she married one Of her old beaux, and went
of and we didn't miss her-uot much Only
the nanny. That woman would love any
body, | really believe.
Sid told me, long afterward, that the rea-
son she went out in the boat that day was that
she meant to catch cold, and stay in her room
until Philip had gone. was a goose to be
so sure that Philip was spoony on Laura,
when things were just the other way, and TO
go and tell Sid of it too but who would ever
have guessed how they really were?

The June number Of the st. james Maya
zine, n London publication, contains an arti-
Gle ON the United States in which the writer
weighs this country in the following original
style Although there is much in America
for any one to initiate aud admire, there are
others that we cannot congratulate them up
on at all" philadelphia" he says, sis
busy commercial port second in Importance
to the state Of New York" "There is a
sameness about it, large extent Of ground
being under marsh" '"This city seems moro
religious than New York" That the writer
did not visit Boston may be surmsed from
the following flattering generalization "A
stranger can find his way far easier in an
American city than at home. The streets all
run one way, and the avenues cross the streets,
and they are for the most part straight"
Baltimore" he remarks, sis thriving town,
with several very handsome buidings.'

of the President of America. The house is a
low two-storied one, white in color, situated
in the centre of small farm close to the
town. President Evart, the present occupant,
has sat for nearly eight years in the Prcsi-
dents chair, and during his heightened term
of office has been the means of doing much
for the welfare and prosperity of the United
States"
Concerning New York we are told that it is
"a pretty, but not clean town" "A half
mile from the Castle Gardens you come to the
Telegraph Office" 1.-The City Hall is a very
chaste and complete building. saw some

How THE On CROSSED THE ulLLs.-John
Ward, one of the watchmen on duty during
the filling of the new oil-pipe line, gives the
following account of what he saw The line
crosses liners Run, or its head-waters, at a
place called McClure's Springs Here there
is quite hollow or depression in the ground
From this place to the residence of Mr.. Hold
ing, some six miles beyond, there is a gradu-
al rise this the oil had to climb after pass
ing the hollow at the spring was told to
watch well this hollow, as the oil had ascend
ed the Kettle Creek Mountain and was COM
ing | repaired to the hollow and lay some
hours there, when l heard a sound like
heavy wind, and presently heard the oil gurg-
ling past l waited some time There was
no leakage and all seemed perfect.
thought that the pipe line was a success
for sure, and SO left my position and passed
along to see if it was all ahead. had gone
some two miles when 1 received a dispatch
to watch well the hollow and not to leave it
for some time, so hastened back. Imagine
my astonishment when l saw the place l had
left such a short time before so tame now
kissing at 10000 points Jets of oil were
flying 30 feet high, and hundreds of barrels
flowing down Hiner's Run, never to see
market.
thought the pipe was gone up, sure. At
first | was afraid to approach it, but soon
grew valiant, and with calking chisel set to
work to stop the leak. l made poor head
way. 1t was n dark night, and dared have
no light. l had taken off my coat, the whiz-
zing oil carried away my hat, and very soon
became thoroughly drenched with oil. My
pockets and my hair and eyes were full, aud
if was not then an oil man, l would like to
know what constitutes one. at length grew
sick, and supposed l would have to give up
and all would be lost, when all at once the
whizZing stopped, and, instead of an out
pressure, could hear an in-drawing-a sue
ton of air. now realized the fact that the
oil had all this time been climbing the up
grade to Mr.. Holdings, but was now on the
descent for Pine Bottom Run. This caused
a suction, and relieved the hollow at the
springs.
1 again waited some time, when received
a dispatch to hasten to Haneyville, that the
pipe was busting. procured horse and
went with all speed. When l arrived the
people there were greatly excited. The pipe
was throbbing and whizzing at every pore.
Mcclure Springs were nowhere. The oil was
spouting from the pipe for miles. made
no attempt to calk knew from my expert
ence at McClure's Spring that the oil had
reached and was climbing the high mountain
below Pine Creek, but the pressure was SO
great that l feared every moment the pipes
would burst.
Here was force against which human
power was of no avail, hence we only stood
and looked on, when suddenly, AZ quick as
thought, all commotion ceased, except suck
ing in of air, and heard the oil pass rapidly
along the pipe and knew it had crossed over
the mountain and was speeding its way to
Williamsport, with no more mountains to
climb, and that the oil line was an established
fact. Clinton Democrat

Siberian society constituted to great cx-

down in the country are Of quite another
class. Actual criminals have no place left
them for repentance they are always under
the Jail ban. But offenders of the higher
class, and especially political cxilcs, are rare

tolerant in the world and since political ex-
lies have increased, the front of their offend

a year or two received into the best company,
