Faithful Wife.

The following story, says the Wash.
ington Capital, is true in every detail
A milliner of responsibility married Q
dissipated tailor, who abused, neglected
and abandoned her. Several years hav
ing passed without clew to his where
abouts, her friends advised divorce and
her acceptance of an advantageous offel
of marriage. The woman persistently
declined every offer, and when she had
accumulated a sufficient sum, started of

At Halifax, N. S., she received slight
clew, and took the steamer to Portland,

New York, where she ceased for many
months to hear from him. Finally she
found that he was working in Albany,
for which place she Immediately started.
She was about week too late he had

answered that her husband had gone
away, nobody knew where. Not salts
fed with this, she travelled to that city
and ransacked every concern interested
in the tailoring business there, until she
met fellow-countryman who said that
her husband when last heard from was
in Omaha. She wrote there, got no
answer, but went on. There she heard
that he had certainly left for San Fran
cisco, where he had obtained fine place
as cutter in a large firm. She of course
went thither, only to be told that her
husband had been several days away
from work, and was drinking hard. He
had not been even at his boarding house.
This led her to visit the station houses,

Exploring Hudson Bay.

Prof. Bell, who has spent five years In
exploring the Hudson bay, gives, In glo-
rious terms, an account of his wanderings
in and about the great body of water,
which, in his enthusiasm, he designates
the Canadian Mediterranean. He states
that Hudson bay, is in effect 1000 miles
long, more than 600 miles wide and COW
ers 600, 900 square miles. Instead Of
being, as is usually supposed, part Of
the Arctic regions, the nearest shore is
more southerly than London, and its
farthest still remains within the Temper
ate zone. On the northeast coast there
is little snow in winter and little rain in
summer. The tributaries of the bay are
the Nelson, which discharges the waters
of Lake Winnipeg; the Winnipeg, about
the size of the Ottawa; the Saskatche-
wan, 900 miles long, pouring in from
the west, and the Red river, coming over
500 miles from the south.
All the central part of North America,
from Labrador to the Rocky mountains,
drains into Hudson bay. The largest
tributary is the Nelson, about four timer
the size Of the Ottawa at the capital ,
then comes the Churchill, the Big river
and the Albany. On the west side o.
the bay the southerly winds are the cold
est that blow IN the winter, and there is
less snow and less intense cold in the VI
cinity Of York Factory and Fort Church
Ill than in more southerly regions. Dur
ing winter the temperature improves as
one goes from Minnesota northward
through Manitoba, and down the valleys
to Hudson bay, and bathing is found
agreeable ia July, August and Septem
Der. On the southern and western
shores unlimited supplies of red and and
white pine, spruce, white birch, balsam
poplar, aspen and tamarac are found.

suggestions Concerning Horses.

The once quite prevalent practice Of
chopping off horses tails, says New
York paper, is now almost abandoned.
It was supposed to make an improve
ment in the animals appearance, and
was often accompanied by cutting the
name short. Some other old barbarisms
of o lesser grade survive yet in the use
of horses. One Of the most defenslble
probably is the "check rain. +" I'm
doubtedly, a horse looks much better
with his head up, but he ought to have
strength and spirit to hold it up himself,
and if domestication has weakened the
breed, SO much the worse for the breed.
The sschecked" horse certainly cannot
travel as easily, for the restraint is un-
natural and every horse attests this by
the long "stretch" and half audible sigh
of relief he gives on being released. An
other relic of unreason in horse-uslng IS
the appropriately named binder. II
intended to serve as surface for gilt
ornaments, it might be attached to some
other part of the harness; if to hide tn
ugliness of the animals eye, the eye
might be improved by removal, which
would also increase tractability. The
probable theory which, apparently, no
body has ventured to defy custom by
subjecting to the test of reasoning lis
| that the horse will not start at objects ap-
preaching from the rear if he is cut oil
| from seeing them until close at hand.
But what frightens him is his not dis
tinctIy seeing and understanding an OBJ
iect. With the ssblinder" on anything from
1 -. - L. rrf1 y
be heard-until it comes suddenly upon
him; with this thing off he could see 1t
tout of the tail of his eye, and he would
be less disturbed by unimpeded VISION.
The defect Of the binder is that it
docs not 30 far enough it should incIose
| the eve from every direction. A simple
improvement in harness might also be
made to give aid in controlling the ami
NAL. Instead of attaching the lines
direct as now, let them pass over pulley
on the headstall, one end held In :
hand as now and the otlfer fastened to
some fixed part Of the harness. This
simple contrivanee, in accordance with
! well-known laws of mechanics, would ex
actly double the power exerted by the
/ driver. It is often the driver himself
who needs harness and whip. He jerks
/ yiciously at the animals mouth, strikes
him on the nose, particularly sensitive
part, kicks him in the abdomen, and vents
upon him every burst Of bad temper,
i however caused. The patience of the
4 creature, under treatment which would
justify resort to his natural means Of de-
tense, is so marvellous as to be a good off
set against his absurd cowardice. But
that very cowardice, nine times in ten,
is the fault of impatience and careless-
ness in drivers. Owners who value
horsehesh and human life should see to
it that their horses are properly intro
dueed to every object they are liable to
encounter NOT excepting the death
dealing bicycle, the bugbear Of our Park
Commissioners and that their drivers
have enough sense and patience to JUS.

of four.

Over rocks, by rose-banks sweeping,
Like impetuous youth.

Broad and deep, and still as time,
Seeming still, yet still in motion,
Tending onward to the ocean,

Swift and silent as an arrow,

How to Break or Bad Habits,

Understand the reason, and all the
reasons, why the habit is injurious.
Study the subject until there is no lin
gering doubt in your mind. Avoid the
places, the persons, and the thoughts
that lead to the temptation. Frequent
the places. associate with the persons,
indulge the thoughts that lead away
from temptation. Keep busy idleness
is the strength Of bad habits. Do not
give up the struggle when you have
broken your resolution once, twice, a
Thousand times. That only shows how
much need there is for you to strive.
When you have broken our resolution,
just think the matter over, and endeavor
to understand why it was you failed, so
tnat you may be on your guard against
recurrence Of the same circumstances.
Do not think it an easy thing that you
have undertaken. It is folly TO expect
to break off habit in day which may
have been gathering strength in you for
years.

The Hunter Man.


Joe Slothful was a lazy man,
He would not till his land;
Therefore within his till one day
No cash was at command.
And then his wife in anger said,
Joe, do You think it meet
To waste your time and have no cash
To buy us meat to eat21
Joe said, "My love, be calm, forI
Dislike to hear thee scof
I'll take my gun and right away
With it will go off.
81 will go off and bring home game,
With which will feed thee"
His wife she laughed, and Joe then said,
"Now, don't make game Of me-"
Joe went away across the fields,
And when daylight grew dim,
He brought a little woodchuck home;
His wife chucked wood at him.

IT SEEMS worse than cruel to con-
tinHe the attacks upon the physicians
of the late President. For eleven
long weeks they occupied an unenvi-
able position, being the objects OF
severe criticism at the hands Of the
ignorant, the jealous and the skilled.
They endured al with a degree OF
patience that was commendable.
After the death OF the patient an au-
topsy proved that while the doctors
had erred IN their judgment as to the
course and location of the bullet, had
their original diagnosis been absc-
lutely correct, it is questionable if
they would have been able to prolsng
the Presidents life. Surgical ekill
could not have cured him, and the
fac. that he was kept alive 70 days
reflects credit upon those who man
aged the case. We were among those
who thought the doctors were pursu-
ing wrong course. but the autopsy
should satisfy all that though the dec.
tors were wrong in their diagnosis they
were right in their treatment. There
are some, however. conspicuous
among whom is ex-Surgeon General
Hammond, who are not willing to
cease their barking at the unfortun
ate doctors whose patient died. They
charge ignorance and malpractice.
So determined are they in their as
saults that it is something of a won
der that wilfulness is not alleged. DR..
Hammond would do well to clear bis
own record before he assaiIs others,
ard as for the newspaper surgeons
they are manifessing more spirit than
sense in sssailing the distinguished
medical gentlemen who unouestion-
ably did all they could to save the
life of the President.

was a graceful act, as the Tabernacle
is the only hall in town large enough
to seat the congregation that will
assemble on the day mentioned, and
it seems appropriate that on the
solemn occasion the people should
unite in their humiliation and
