where century ago it would nave quite
snfiiced to know the minute or even
the hour. THIS may be due to the in
creased value Of time when measured
by the number of events or the magni-
tude Of operations which modern inge-
nuity is capable OF crowding into Civ
en- interval; there can be no doubt that
a second to-day records a greater stride
in the worlds progress than did many
hours in the days of our ancestors. Of
so great importance, for many evident
reasons, has the knowledge OF the exact
time become, that much thought of
some OF the best heads has been devot-
ed TO methods of ascertaining it and
making it available by distribution for
public use.--Popular Science Monthly
There has seldom been a more
urgent demand for good serviceable
business horses than exists at the pres
sent time, and the visible supply has
seldom been smaller. There is every
where am inquiry for this class of
horses and AS compared with one year
ago prices are fully twenty-five per
cent. in advance, A good, neat young
brood mare of heavy weight which
the owner is willing to sell, is great
rarity, and can only be obtained Mt a
high price With this state of affairs
no argument is necessary to prove that
a field OF enterprise is open to agricul-
turists highly remunerative in charac-
ter, which might be promptly accepted
and judicious selection of both sire
and dam be made.

Novel Treatment Of Drunkards.

Dr. Jurie, a prcp,lIent physician of
Vienna, tells of two complete cures Of
effected by him in an ex-
traordinary manner. One of the cases
Wac that of an habitual drunk ard, who
was picked up out of the gutter by the
police, and was handed over TO the doc
tors treatment in the correction hospi-
tai for fourteen days. The doctor at
once ordered that every article of food
or drink given him should receive lib
eral addition of whisky Of not over
refined quality. Water, milk, soup.
meat, and vegetables were all treated
in this way, and whisky was even in
fused in the air he breathed. through
Of the walls, floors, and bed
ding. At first the man proclaimed
himself highly satisfied with mis- treat
ment, and said he would always like to
have such sensible physician. The
second day, however, he began to feel
a na,sea, the third day he vomi.ed inn
after eating, and thereafter
not meal was taken that was not inn
followed by vomiting. From
day to day he experienced increasing
torment, and finally bcggea piteously
for relief. The result was that at the
end Of two weeks, though much reduc-
ed in flesh, he was filled with such re-
pugnance for strong drink that he was
never after able to indulge in it. The
other case mentioned by DR.. Jurie was
Of similar character, and was treated
by him in the same way with equal
success

write such a letter as was desired He did use the words attributed to him, but with the following strong qualification: "The mass of the Republican party is made up of inde- pendent men. who do their own thinking, who act from principle, and who, when they come to the polls, vote according to their honest convictions of the right These men, instead of being consulted and conciliated, have been kicked and cuffed at every oppor- tunity by the too arrogant, self constituted leaders of our section of the party, and now, when they have their opportunity to resent such undeserved treatment, they are asked to humble themselves, and to kiss the hands of those who smote them. It is hardly in hu- man nature that they should do so." These words were prudently omitted in the publi- cation.
 Some of the influential Canadians are not well pleased with the Increasing emigration from Canada to this country. The Arch bishop of Quebec has just issued @ pastoral in which he calls attention to the large num- Der of French Canadian families which leave the Province to take up their residence in the United States where, too often, they fcrsake the1r faith and only encounter deception and misery. Such state of things His Grace attributes to the immoderate love of display and consequent extravagance which have invaded the country, remarking that, until this new era of show and fnery took place, the present alarm ing proportions of emigration were known. In order to procure extravagant toilets, continues the Archbishop, furniture too costly for their means to entertain their friends, to appear in public with magnificent equipage, people live beyond their means. He then goes on to denounce the vice of in- temperance. and urges that extravaganza, intemperance and emigration are desolating the country. As an antidote to this, he says that a colonization association has been es- tablished to assist the faithful He proposes raising fund for the latter purpose, to which all good Catholics will contribute ten cents each. For this sacrifice monthly mass will be celebrated for those who subscribe. Tho colonization society will be controlled and directed by ecclesiastics.

 ''How is your old friend Maud s. p
 ''Oh, she is in magnificent shape. Could not be finer. She is just heavy enough and her color is much richer than I ever saw it. She is more the Queen now than ever."
 "What do you propose to do with her 7"
 Well. everything is not settled. She will probably be exercised mildly during the win ter, such as giving her light drive on the country roads-those that are not hard and unpIiable Of course she will be taken out only on pleasant days. She will get her grass every day. AS soon I can will put her on to the track here for regular training. Then I may move her to mile track, where I will give her the necessary work and condi- tion her to trot fast mile, both double and single. She may go into the circuit nowhere else. It would be folly to put her on to any track except the best ones. Mir. Vanderbilt is not after the money. He wants to see her secure such hold on the queenship as will not be shaken for years to come. She will not trot with any horse, but may have special trials to cut down her record.
