A Fearful Race in the st. Lawrence
Rapids.

There are two rival lines of steamers
on the St. Lawrence this year, which
run through the Thousand Islands down
the Rapids to Montreal. One of these,
the Canadian Royal Mail Line, which
has been in existence for year, runs
from Hamilton to Toronto, touching
only at Canadian ports. This season
an American line has been started with
one steamer, the Rothesay, which runs
from Cape Vincent to Alexandria Bay,
and thence on to Ogdensburg and
Morrisburg. At the latter place, which
is eighteen miles below Ogdensburg. a
transfer of passengers is made to a
smaller steamer, for the purpose of
running the Rapids on the way to Non
treal.
Great rivalry exists between these
two lines. Last Tuesday the Royal
Mail Line steamer Spartan started from
Prescott on her trip down the river.
Shortly after the Rothesay, of the Amer
lean Line, left Ogdensburg. The Roth
esay was perhaps two miles behind the
Spartan. At Ogdensburg or Prescott
the current proper of the st. Lawrence
begins. Both boats dashed along under
full speed. Before long it was evident
that the Rothesay was gaining. How
ever, she did not fully approach till just
at the commencement of the Rapid
Deflau, some seventy-two miles below
Ogdensburg. Common prudence would
have caused the Captain Of the ROthe-
say to slacken speed till the rapids were
passed. But, ne! steadily the steamer
went ahead, until she came abreast the
Spartan and but q few feet distant,
when conversation was carried on be-
tween the passengers. The current at
this point is very swift. and the channel
narrow, tortuois and full of dangerous
rocks. The current pushed both boats
together till the paddle-boxes touched,
and thus joined together the two passed
down the rapids. At one moment the

would careen the boats outward, till it
seemed as if they must capsize, and
then the noise of the rudder-chains and
the chatting of the boats impressed one
with the idea that two monsters were
locked in a death grapple.. Several
passengers tainted away. and all were
terribly frightened. Neither boat was
able to draw away from the other, and
thus fastened they ran the rapids for
four miles. Then the Rothesay, with
her wheels stopped and her side all

Horse Radish Sauce.-Two tea
spoonfuls of made mustard, two of
white sugar, half teaspoonful of salt
and a gill of vinegar; mix and pour over
grated horse radish. Excellent with
beef.
Simple Dessert.-Put eight crack
ers into deep dish and pour on enough
boiling water to cover. Let them stand

Chill Sauce.-Twelve large ripe to-

onion; chop all fine together; add one
tablespoonful of salt, one teaspoonful
of ginger, one of cinnamon, one of all

The best feed for a road horse is
oats and a very little hay. The more
concentrated the food the smaller the
stomach and intestines, and the better
the wind will be. Oats year old is the
best food. and twelve quarts day is
sufficient for a large horse. A little
clear. ripe timothy hay may be given at
night before the oats.
Tomato Catsup.-Boil the tomatoes
until quite soft, and rub them well
through sieve; to every quart add two
ounces onions and two large red pep
pers, or one teaspoonful cayenne pepper.
one ounce bruised ginger, one spoonful
salt, few cloves; boil until reduced

Ginger Lemonade.-Take half

A correspondent of the Ohio Farm
er gives this as his plan for growing
strawberries: "My blackberries do
not cultivate. Let them grow to suit
themselves. have strawberries planted
among them. and the plan works adj

shady place among briers, to be like
the strawberries of your childhood that
you got along the old stone wall. When
Won put them into the blackberry patch

and you happy. Besides, blackberries
want moist ground, shaded If possible;
and the strawberries keep the ground

The overstocking of land is one of
the surest and quickest ways OF running
pastures. 1t is an everyday thing with
many farmers. who cannot be made to
believe that they are getting the full
benefit of pasture unless the grass is
eaten off little faster than it has time
to grow; consequently. all who put this
method in practice always have bare
nastures and poor cattle.
