wear owing 10 the grcrt conjunction oi

friehtful prophecies were based, lSs2 will
be. in similar sense, the Astronomers'
year on account Of the transit Of Venus
The transit does not oc 'ur until Decem.
Der, hnt the astronomers are alrcady pre-.
pairing for their observations of IL In
fact they begun their preparations more
than twenty-five wears ago, so important
i this event 70 astronomical science. by
the transit Of Nonusi is meant the passage
OF that planet between the earth and The
sun, so that the planet Is seen against the
disc OF the sun like black dot. II owes
It's importance to the fact that il furnishes,
perhaps, the best means Of measuring the
distance between the earth aud the syn,
and this distance is the astronomers yard
stick, without which he cannot set along
The more accurately the suns distance Is
known the more correctly become other
astronomical measurements Modern esti-
mates OF this distance have varied between
95, COO, 900 miles and 100000 miles,
Since the transit of 1874 II has been put at
about 92, 500 900 miles, but the astrono-
mers think they are yet one or two thous'
and miles out OF the way, and this year
they hope to cut these limits OF error down
very much. The results they achieve
must stand for moro than century, since
there will not be transit of Venus until

hardly be sleighs enough to supply the de-
mand. As usual after heavy fall OF snow
thore has been rush to buy. People who
have been thinking OF buying sleighs for
long time now make up their minds. All
kinds are in demand. The prices vary
from $40 to 5000.
"How can sleigh be made for SlO?"
because the carriage makers always
make sleighs to fll in time aud keep their
hands busy. 1t is in fact about as cheap
for man to buy one Of those light cutters
as it is to pay the exorbitant prices thai
livery stable keepers charge"
"In regard to styles?"
"For long time the old fashioned swans
held the market They were made in oil
sizes, and in many cases the sides Of the
front seat represented the wings OF a swan
But these generally had such slanting
backs that people got the back-ache. Then
came the angular shaped Portland style
in all sizes. Among the latest are the COM
bined Russian and Canadian styles A
six seat sleigh of this kind cost about
$500, fitted with plumes. The plumes
are made in all colors and mounted on
standards, make gay show. Sometimes
there are from sixteen TO twenty plumes
and pompons on one .equipage. They
came in fashion about four years ago and
are growing In favor. "
''Who has the finest sleigh in New
York;"
THAT would be difficult to say. There
are no very gorgeous turnouts. Wander
bilt, Frank Work, the Lorilards and many
others have fine sleighs. One Of the most
expensive was built for j. B. Brewster foi
Mr.. Badonine. 1t cost 81 800.
"Is there genuine Russian sleigh herei

Stevens family at Castle Point. The driv

Tho willy Shopkeeper of Montreal

The inclination for fleeing the stranger
seems to be universal; even the street
bootblacks invariably demand ten cents
for shine until reminded that the regular
price is just half that amount, when, as
rule, they gracefully acquicsce. On one
occasion however / saw stubborn gamin
refuse the profered five cents, and saw
his customer, an irate American, walk IN
to breakfast without paying anything
Among the popular fallacies Of our peo-
pie is the idea that everything Is cheaper
in Canada than in the United States. Az
ter patient and tolerably thorough inyes-
tigation extending over week, l found
only three articles which in Montreal sell
for less than they do 10 Boston, These
are furs, feathers and brandy; furs and
feathers about twenty per cent cheaper;
brandy about fifty per cent.
In Montreal, as in the cities of cont.
mental Europe, the custom OF "Jewing IS
universal. A tradesman always asks more
for an article al first than he expects you
to give OF course, he will fall once, twice

party was out shopping, and seeing a fur

in to price il

And the bargain was concluded, just
five dollars to the French gentleman's dis
advantage, as what the lady intended to
say was that she would go to her hotel and
get the balance. However, what the eye
doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve for
and the probability is that to this day the

upon his sharpness in closing the bargain
with the American lady.
In another instance | was with friend

price was 50 30, and my friend had only
$500 with him. and before the vendor
could interrupt him. announced his IN
tention Of going to the hotel for the RES
