Kicking Against the Canada
Pacific.

New York, 22.-Herald'S Winnipeg:
Captain Scott, n. p, telegraphed by
request, 10 Sir John A. Mcdonald, to
ascertain il it we're true that the Pacific
Railway syndicate would have power to
cross the boundary with 8 railway line to
ihe west Of Pembins branch. He was
answered that the syndicate had power
70 build branch lines anywhere. On the
strength Of this the local legis allure, on
motion of the premier, passed the fol ow-
ing resolution this evening:
WhereGs, It appears from a telegram

bv Right Hon Sir John A. Nc Donald,
premier Of TIE government of Canada, TO
Thos. Scott, NJ. p, for Selkirk, that the
Canada Pacific Railway company will
have the power to build branch lines any
where, and
Whereas, It is further intended, as
appears from the publication Of the terms
on which the Canada Pacific Railway
syndicate have agreed to construct. equip,
maintain and operate the said Canada
Pacific railway, to grant to said com
psny, the exclusive right Of building
and operating branch lines Of railway to
the International boundary line between
Canada and the United States; and
said company have the right of accepting
any such alternate sections OF lsnd a,
they may think proper, and it is deemed
that the powers intended to be granted
20 the company would be detrimental 10
the best Interests OF the Province OF
Manitoba, and while this house it of the
oDinjon that the construction Of the Can
ada Pacific Railway should be intrusted
Ia a private company, it views with
alarm the terms Of the agreement be-
tween the government and the Eyndicst'i
therefore,
Be Il resolved, That for the present
the Canada Pacific Railway syndicste
should have given to them power to build
only the main line Of the CanSds PACING
Railway, and that sny other line OF
branch line shall be built by the syndl-
cate or by other comp inieS only afteI
their obtaining over from time TO time
from the Parli4ment Of Canada, TO build
such line or branches, and that the main
line Of the Canada Pacific Railway shall
not be allowed to approach st any point
within fifteen miles Of the international
boundary line, and thst Parliament
should not abandon its right to authorize
the construction of railways IN any Oh
rection OF other companies; that the
syndicate shall not have the option oil

but shall be compelled to take alternate
sections Of the sections or townships for

Death of George Eliot

London, %. - Mrs. Cross George
Elliott the distinguished novelist, died at
10 last night. Her death was quiet and
almost painless. She was seized with 8
sudden chill which attacked her in the
larynK on Sunday last. She had, shortly
before the attack, received reveral friends
who had left her apparently in good
health and spirit' The attack, however,
did not give serious Gauss for alarm, IN
til 6 O'Clock last evening. DR.. Andrew
Clark then discovered her psricA dunn
was seriously affected, and pronounced
the case almost hopeless. She passed
away quietly. On the 9th Of May last
deceared was married as Miss MsriOn
EVAus, to John CrosG. OF Wribridge,
Surray q merchant in the city.

Hysteria.

Hysteria is by no means confined to
women, for one of the worst attacks
which | have witnessed occurred in q
man. This gentleman one day found he
had lost his all, and on returning home,
he became the victim OF laughing and
crying, until sheer exhaustion brought
an end to the attack. This was quite
involuntary. But it might be remarked
that even in hyst5ria such II thing as
fashion prevails, showing that a certain
power of restraint may he used. When
l was a boy, hysteria was the fashion;
and if during conversation any remark
was made to touch Il lady's sensibilities,
she would clinch her hands, make "a wry
face, her eyelids would undergo rapid
vibration, she would give sob or two,
and sink from her chair. The cure was
accomplished by throwing cold water
over her face; and if this encroached on
her neck or wetteG her dress, the cure
was very sudden and complete. During
church service. it was the usual prac-
tice to have q young lady Carried out, but
| think, rs rule she belonged to an in
ferior class, whose kind of work during
the week did not allow them to play
dressmaking tricks with themselves on
Sunday; tor if remember rightly the
cure was effected in their case by the
call for penknife. This was used to
loosen the body armor, when a loud cx-
plosion took place. followed by deep
sigh and speedy recovery of the patient.
So fashionable was fainting or Mysteries
in church, that l have a lively remem-
brance ofa young lady who had weekly
attack, and was often carried out by
gentleman in the next pew. AS these
two were afterward married, appre-
hend that this was one mode of court
ship. am only too thankful to think,
for the peace of other people. that this
method of forcing matrimony has gone

Farmer Ben's Theory.

Il tell ye, it's nonsense" said Farmer Ben,
'iThis farmin' by books and rules,
And sendin' the boys to learn that stuff
At the agricultural schools.
Rotation o. crops and analysis!
Talk that to young baboon!
But ye needn't be tellin' yer science t me,
For bel eve in the moon.
"If ye plant yer corn on the growin' moon,
And put up the lines for crows,
You'fndit will bear, and yer wheat will, too,
II it's decent land, where't grows.
But potatoes, now, are different thing,
They want to grow down, that is plain;
And don't ye see you must plant for that
When the moon is on the wane7
$50 in plantin' and hoein' and hayin' time
II is well to have an eye
on the hang O. the moon-ye know ye can tell
A wet moon from dry.
And as to hayin', you wise ones, now,
Are cuttin' yer grass too soon:
II you want it to spread, just wait till it's ripe,
And NOW on the iull O. the moon.
"And when all the harvest work is done,
And the butcherin' times comes round,
Though yer hogs may be lookin' the very best,
And as fat as hogs are found.
You will find your pork all shriveled and
shrunk
When it comes to the table at noon
All fried to rags-ii it wasn't killed
At the right time OF the moon.
"With the farmers meetin's and oranges ow
Folks can talk till all is blue;
But don't ye be swallowin all ye hear,
For there amt more'n half ont true.
They are trying to make me change my plans,
But tell 'em Pm no such coon;
shall keep right on in the safe old way,
Anq work my farm by the moon."

ANOTHER DTSCO YER Y.

Prof Smith, Astronomer of the
Warner Observatory, at Roche ;ter,
N. Y, discovered another large comet
on the evening OF October 10th. The
fact was noted in the associated press
dispatches, but some important and
interesting details which could not
be telegraphed are herewith given.
The new celestial visitor is in the
Constellation Of Pegasus, right ascen-
sion, q hours, 80 minutes, declination
Ncrth II degrees, 30 minutes. It's
rate Of motion is quite slow, being in
a westerly direction, 50 that it
is approaching the eun. 1t has a
very st;ong condensation on one side
OF the centre, in addition to a star
like nucleus, which indicates that it
is throwing eff an extended tail.
From the fact of lis extraordinary
size, We sre warranted in presuming
that it will be very brilliant, and the
additional fact that it is coTing
almost directly toward the earth,
gives good promise that it will be
one CT the most remarkable comets of
the present century. This is the fifth
comet which Prof. Swift has discov-
cred, and the increased facilities
which Mr.. H. Ell. Warner, the popu-
lar and wealthy medicine man, has
given him, by erecting magnificent
Observatory fol his benefit, promise
much more for the future. There IS
possibility that further develop
ments may prove this to be the great
comet Of 1912, which is being con-
stantly expected, in which event as
tronomers will have an unusual oppor-
tunity to test the specti oscope for the
first time upon these eccentric bodies,
and ascertain certainly what they are.
AMONG the spots Of supreme beauty
which the world cali boast must be
counted that southwest corner of
Cornwall and Of England where the
deep warm tide Of the Atlantic first
meets and bufets The rock. bound
coast. Watched on q summer Gay
when the~waves, as if in sport, APP
preach wooingly the shore, when
every stoke is caress, when the
translucent waters swirl round the
outlying rocks or sigh through the
caveras and galleries they ha,e worn
in the precipitous cliffs, no spot on
tho Mediterranean Cornice can show
loVelier or a SUMMER sight. Seen
again when the southwe3. wind la.hes
tho waves into fury and briags the
long, ravenous swell of mid-oaean 10
break in thunder upoa the beach aad
hun its sheets OF spray above tho
loitiest landmarks and the Bay of
Bisoay at 0rtegal or ST.. Sebastian
knows no similar rage CT tempest.

her example, turn around and go
down the bank on their hands and
toes, backward. Then they scamper
over the riffs until they find shall
low place where they can see the fish
and shout:

"Where2"
"Therel
"Oh, my so he is =
"Who's got the bait ?"
"Yoa lazy thing; you're sitting on
my polsl"
All those EXPLANATIONS are gotten
off in tone that awakens every echo
within mile around, and sends
every fish that hsars it into gallcping
Mysteries. Then the girls by super
human e1ertions manage to get a
worm on tn, hook and throw it in
with a splash like the launching OF a
wash tub, and await the result. At
ter awhile feeble minded sunfsh
contrives to get fastened on the hook
of feeble woman, and she gives vent
to her tongue.
"Oh, somathing has got my hook r
"Pull up, you little idiot y shouts
FIVE excited voices, and poles and
hooks are dropped and they run to
the rescue. The girl with the bait
gives a spasmodio jerk, which sends
the unfortunate "sunny" into the air
the full length of the line, and comes
down on the nearest curly head with
a damp flop that sets her to clawing
as thought there were bumble- bees in
her hair.
"Oh, murder, take it away Ugh,
take it away, the naety thing
Thsn they hold up their skirts and
gather round the fish as it skips over
the logs, one all the time holding the
line in both hands with her foot on
the pole, as th:ugh she had an evil
disposed goat at the end. Then they
talk il over.
How will it get off,"
"Ain't it pretty?"
"Wonder If it amt dry !"
"Poor little thing; let's put it
back"
"How will we get the hook from
it2"
"Pick it up, says girl, who backs
rapidly out of the circle.
"Good gracious, I'm afraid CT it.
There it's opening its mouth at me.
Just then the sunny" wiggles off
the hook and disappears between two
logs into the water ana Inc girls
try for another bite. But the sun
comes down and fries the hack of
their necks, and they get three head
aches in the party, and all get cross
and scold at the fish like so many
magpies. If any unwary club dares
to show himself in the water they
poke at him with poles much to his
disgust. Finally they get mad all
over and throw the poles away, hunt
up the lunch basket, climb up into
the woods, where they sit on the
grass and eat enough dried beef, aad
rusk, and hard-boiled eggs to give a
horse the nightmare, after which they
compare notes about their beaux un-
til suniown, when they 60 home and
plant envy in the hearts of their dear
friends by telling them what 'just d
a splendid time they had"

To KEEP CIDER.-Cider is now
plentiful and cheap and good way
to keep it sweet, is to put it as fresh
as it can be obtained, into clean bot
ties, filling the bottles brim full.
Then place tho bottle into vessel
filed with cold water, the water COW
ering the bottle we'll up to the neck.
Put the vessel containing water, bot
tie and cider on the stove and bring
the water to boil. The cider will
boil long before the water arrives at
chat condition. AS the cider warms
up it throws off through the mouth
of the bottle all the sediment and i'm
purities contained in it. Blow this
accumulation aside from time to time,
and when it ceases to rise, which will
be shortly after the water comes to o
boil, take out the bottles, pour out
enough cider to admit the cork, stop
them up tightly and put in a cool
place. 1t will keep good and sweet
for months.
