has been formed at Serajevo, under the
president of Mustapha Beg Fadll Pas
chich, Mayor of the Bosnian capitol,
for the purpose OF raising subscriptions
wherewith to purchase such articles of
exc usiyely local manufacture as may
constitute an offering worthy of the
future emperor. A complete service
OF knives, forks and spoons. with
carved handles richly inlaid with gold
is being executed to this end By the
most skillful artificers in Sersjevo and
Livno, while the famous steel industry
of Fotcha will supply a magnificent
case of appliances for the writing
table. These gifts will be conveyed to
the archduke on the eve OF his we'd
ding day By deputation of forty Bos-
MAN notables, who will present him
with an address, illuminated on vel

"Bee in right away. I've got crazy
uncle over there. but don't pay any
attrntion to him."
The man went away, but soon came
hack with three other n en- and
couple of ladders. The owner of the
mouse. hearing a terrible racket, rush
ed cut seeing the men at worked
yelled:
"What are you doing up theref"
"Taking OF this roof"
"If yOu don't come down and let
that roof alone I'll have you sent to
the peneitentiary-"
Never mind that old fellow" said
the boss workman. ''he's crazy"
"Crazy :" howled the owner.
"Yes, crazy. Your nephew told me
to take off this roof, and Pm going to
do it."
The owner went ont and pretty soon
returned with couple of policemen.
The workmen were pulled of the
house and taken to the station. The
joke cost about fifty dollars, and unless
johnson leaves the city the boss work
man is likely to take the roof from the
top of his head.

Canadian tourists, or those famili ar
with the river st. Lawrence, need not
to be told of the picturesque danger OF
the Lac hine rapids. Many traditions
and some authentic stories sarepreserved
of luekless persons who have been en-
gulfed there, and the shooting" of the
rapids even by skillful pilots is always
an anxious and delicate piece OF work.
Another sad example was recently
added to the record of cslsmities at this
celebrated locality. In this case, as in
others, the presence and exersieRs Of a
famous pilot--named Daillebout IN the
present instanee-failed to avert the
catastrophe. Ten lumbernen, under
Daillebout's command, started early in
the morning from Caughnawaga vii
lage to make the descent of the Lachine
rapids. Another raft under Baptiste,
also wellknown pilot, set out at the
those who were on board the last raft
saw all that happened to the crew of
the first one.
It seems that, by some mischance,
Daillebout swung his raft out Of the
right channel at a critical moment.
Before he and his men could retrieve
their en- or their control of the raft was
gone. In q few minutes they were
driven with awful velocity into the
vortex of foaming waters that the
tourists steamers pass through when
running the rapids. Those steamers,
,teered with matchless dexterity, and
having their engines to steady their
course, get through habitually in safe
ty. But with raft, having nothing
out human strength to shape the
course, it is, of course, far different.
la This case the frsil structure was
rolled over and over AMI hurled in
every direction. She had to 60 through
mile of tumbling, seething waters
Tor the most part indeed half a cataTrct
before she or Sny fragments of her
could emerge into the smooth safety of
he river below. The spectators saw a
moving and extraordinary sight. Logs
sixty feet long were tossed in the air
like so many twigs. Piece by piece the
raft broke asunder. No power on earth
could aid her wretched crew, and it
seemed inevitable that theyImusdperish
70 a man.
But it was otherwise decreed. Des-
pite this amazing ordeal, and despite
most Of their nnnber being frightfully
bruised, eight of the eleven occupants
of the raft went through the rapids
alive. Not only that but they managed
to cling to portions of their shatterd
bark so as to be rescued at last by their
brother lumbcrmen who had seen with
out being able to aid them in their
peril. The remaining three raftsmen
perishcd; and the wonder is, according
10 the reports that have reached US,
that there should have been any sur
vivors at all from q catastrophe which
in most cases has usually been fatal to
every man concerned.
