the fact that the brewing in the state
amounts to S12:OOO,OOO year; that the
use of beer as beverage is not only whole

use Of alcoholic liquors; thar prohibition
has produced great inroads in the past two
years, being engrafted in the constitutions
Of two great western states, and that the
industry of brewers is endangered by un-

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
Capt. James anderson, of the
Schooner Benson. the Vjc-
tim of u Shocking
accident.
While Timber Is Being Loaded,
the Grip Slips, Catches the
Captains Head, and
Pulls It Off.

Capt. James Anderson, navigator well
known the Northern lakes, was recently the
victim of most horrible acc dent. Tie
schooner Benson, of which Capt. Anderson was
commander, had gone to Lake Superior for a
cargo of timber, she and two or three other
craft being towed by the tug Metamora. The
tow arrived safely at the camp on Serpent river,
and the work of loading commenced. On the
second day after arrival, while the timber was
being put aboard the Benson, the acci lent oc-
Cured, and the horrible death of Capt Anderson
was the result. Great iron grips are used to
draw the huge, heavy slippery sticks of tim
Der into the vessel. In some way these grips
slipped when Capt. Anderson WAS standing
by, and, living up, caught the Cantan by the
head and literally tore his head off The SIGHT
was sckening and horrible one, and the acct
dent cast gloom over the entire camo, and
especially over the crew OF the Benson The
hardy sailors, some of whom had been through
the war ashore and afoat, said they never wit
messed anything so terrible, and certainly hoped
they never would again. What made it more
terrible was that a second before the Captain
was in robust health, whole-souled, large
hearted, good-natured friend, talking in his
jocular way with the men. When the latter
heard the grip slip, saw the body slung twenty
or thirty feet and the head remain il str ngs
in the fearful teeth CT the horrible tool it was
more than they could stand. They shuddered
sckened and shed tears. No more work was
done on board the Benson that day.
The decapitated body and the head and frag-
ments were dressed as well as possible by an
under aker, and forwarded by boat and rail to
the family at Port Dalhousie-a most dreadful
casket, certainly.
Capt. Anderson had hosts of friends, and was
highly esteemed generally H. had been con-
nected with the firm of Burton & Co., BArlis,
for many years.

Years ago there resided in the County
Of Longford, ireland, an Individual not
ed for his thieving propensitles and for
the ready wit he brought to bear in
screening himself from the penalties for
his depredations. On one occasion the
craving of his appetite induced him to
invade Father Maguire's yard, and he
stole from him fine fat goose. This,
however, hung heavy even on his pliable
conscience, and he was forced to ac-
knowledge the theft in the confessional,
reserving, however, the name of the per-
son from whom the goose had been
stolen.
my son." said the good man, ''steal-
ing is most grievous offense against
the law of God. A thief cannot be for
given until he has restored that which he
has stolen. You must therefore bring
back the goose to its rightful owner,
ask his pardon and then come to me
again.
Restitution was not to be thought OF,
and so the rogue fell back on that
which never, deserted him-his '' mother
wit. !"
"Pll give the goose to your River
ence, and ask your Reverence to forgive
me, he said.
"No, my son." said the good priest,
that will not do. You must restore it
to its rightful owner
"But, your Reverence" said the ras-
cal, 81 offered it to the man I stole it
from, and he wouldn't take It,
eff you did that" said the priest,
"you could do no more"
And so Paddy gained his point.

Difference in Phrasing in England and
America.

The following peculIarities in speech
in England and America are noted by
observers:
An American takes a passage on " a
boat, an EngIishman takes his Sin it;
railroad In America is a railway"
in England; t American locomotive
is the English "engine )" the former
Switches off," the latter is "shunte9
to a side track !; our depot" is the En-
glish "sta'ion," for they use depot only
in its original sense, as a magazine
where stores are deposited we send by
mall" they by "post )" the "bag-
gage" of an American traveller is the
luggage of an Englishman one
"buys ticket for" the end of his jour
ney, the other is "booked for " his des-
tination. If we take hack we mean
coach, but the English hack is riding.
horse. In shopping the same difference
exists. An American hardware mer-
chant" is an English ''ironmonger;" "dry
goods 5" here are there known as hab-
erdashery;" and though we may buy
"calicoes " at our "stores, " we must not
fail to ask for "prints " at the London
"shops." Again, in dress, the English
man wears trousers and "braces,"
the American "pantaloons and I" sus-
penders )" an EngIishwoman may appear
in a "gown," the American wears a
"dress = only child in America puts
on crock but in England it is the
name of mans garment. A "levee +"
in England means, correctly, only morn
ing receptions. In America it may be
attended at night. The language of
country life varies widely, or the same
words are used with different meanings.
Lumber in America is wood for
building, and is source of ample reve-
nue. in England it is worthless, and is
used merely for trash that is cumbrous
and in the way, as the dismembered rel
les of old furniture in an unvisited lum-
Der room. The plain tables and shelves
of board here are "deal tables and
shelves in the old country. Our fields
of " corn are fields of " maize there
and the somewhat riotous stavern of
our crossroads is the good old "inn" of
English comfort.

The t1nlf Stream,

It has been asked whether the cutting
of sea-level canal at Panama would not
tend to turn the Gulf Stream into the
Pacific ocean, and thus have damag-
ing effect on the climate of Northern
Europe. Prof. Geike has called in sci
ence to answer this important question
in the negative. He says the effect on
the Gulf Stream and the climate of the
regions whose temperature it raises
would be about as great as the effect
produced on the Arctic ocean by pour
ing teapotful of boiling water into it.
In order to divert the Guif Stream to the
south the Isthmus of Panama would
have to be depressed some 500, or posi-
bly, 1 1000 feet. Nevertheless. it is known
that Northern Europe has been at one
time warmer and at another time colder
than it is to-day, and changes in the flow
of the Gulf current are supposed to have
occasioned the differences, The infiu-
ence of the warm waters from the Gulf
of Mexico in modifying the climate of
the British islands, of Scandinavia. and
even of France, is well understood. A
comparison of mean temperature on the
latitude on the opposite sides of the
ocean tells the story. On one side are
Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labra-
dor on the other are France, England
and Ireland. At Bordeaux the mean
summer temperature is SO deg, at Hall
fax it is So deg; at Bordeaux the winter
heat is As deg, at Halifax it is % deg.
As between Scotland and corresponding
points In Labrador the difference is even
more striking. It is estimated that the
Gulf stream gives to the North Atlantic
about one-half as much heat as it re-
ceives from the sun. Ii, by any convuI-
sion of nature, it should be turned from
its course, the upper part of the British
islands would be rendered absolutely IN
inhabitable- Exchange.

WAITING.


Waiting while the shadows gather,
And the sunlight fades away;
While the tender g Gaming deepens,
And the golden turns to gray.
Watching while the starlight quivers,
Brightly in the heaven above,
am waiting for her coming,
Waiting Watching for my love.
Listening for the well-known football,
And the voice whose loving tone
SweeJiy bids me cease my waiting,
Watching, listening for my own.
Lingering stilLarnong the shadows,
As they deepen on the beach,
Hearts exchange in sacred stiffness
Thoughts that would be sol ed by speech.
Thus in perfect love and trusting
Winged moments pass away;
I'LL the holy, star crowned night is
Sweet to us as golden day.
And as tenderly the cleaning
Gathered on the brow Of day,
God shall keep her, God shall bless her,
When LIES golden turns to gray.
