Among the Possibilities.

The magnificent railroad the St.
Paul and Minneapolis newspapers
built, with paper ties and rails Of type
metal, across the Sault Ste Marie to
Montreal a couple of years ago, is in
a fair way to more substantial realiza-
ton. 1t is well known that the North
ern Pacific is pushing It's line eastward
along the south shore of Lake Super
ior, to the Sault, at a very rapid rate.
The Canadian parliament has Just in
corporated the Ontario Pacific Rail
road company, which is to build and
acquire line from Montreal to the
Sault, and there connect with the
Northern Pacific. 1t is line of mag
nificent expectations, if net of splen-
did promise. Our Ottawa special
points out. that it will Grain, through
the Northern Pacific, territory of
25O,0O0 square miles by line to the
seaboard 440 miles shorter than that
by way of Chicago to New York. The
hopes Of the projectors Of the road will
not be wolly delusive, supposing the
difficulties of its construction once
overcome. OF course an immediate re-
suit Of its construction will be the
building of line from st. Paul direct
to the Sault, through which the road
will drain the country south and west
of st. Paul Besides a through traffic
Of splendid possibilities, such road
will command no mean local travel.
1t will traverse the mineral and lum-
Der regions Of Wisconsin and Michi-
gan, and pierce the virgin forest Of
Canada. The approaching exhaust
ion of the pine forests of the North
west makes the opening of a new
source of vast lumber supplies in Can
ada a matter Of lively interest for the
cities of of this part of the United
States. Paul Press.

Burglars and Saving Banks.

''The fact is" said old Mrs. Phipps,
who is down to Frisco on a visit, "the
fact is my dear Mrs. Skidmore, | had
the narrowest escape from being ruin
ed the other day you ever heard Of"
ooh, how nice" said Mrs s., pour
ing out another Guy. "How was it ?'
"Why, you know | sold our house
and lot last month, and had the mon
ey all ready to deposit in the savings
bank the next morning, which was
the very day of its failure" p"
Good gracious p
Il slept with my money under my
pillow, and the next morning when
got ready to start for the bank the
money was gone. Some burglars had
taken it during the night. An hour af-
terward the bank burst. Did you ever
hear of such a piece of good luck ?"
'Luck? Why, you lost your coin
all the same.
"l es, but don't you see they caught
the burglars, and on condition of my
not prosecuting them, they returned
fifty cents on the dollar The bank
panned out only twenty-five. There's
no use talking, Hannah, between say
ings banks and robbers, III take my
chances with the burglars every time.

Longfellow's Will.

Judge Brooks has given decision
which affects several bequests in the
will Of Longfellow, The decisions are
that erasures will be considered no
part of the will and interlineations ofn
effect. This deprives each of the chill
dren of the testator's brother, Of a leg
acy of 81, 900 and makes void the leg
acy of five thousand dollars to his
brother Stephen. The decision is bas
ed upon the ground that the will can
not be be altered except by codicil.
The will was admitted to probate, and
Earnest Longfellow was appointed adj
ministrator in place of the late Rich
ard H. Dana, named in the will.

Garden Hints

In sowing garden seeds in spring do
not SOW too early. The ground must
be warm or seeds will not germinate.
Take care of plants which come up
from self-sown seed. They are stron-
ger and better and will blossom earlier
than the same kinds of seeds sown in
the spring. Geranium seed, if planted
in pots in the house in April, will
grow strong healthy plants for the
next winters Towering, They must
be well taken care of and have plenty
Of light and air.
Forget-me-nots pansies and lilies of
the valley require a shaded, moist
/ place, and rich soil to do we'll.
Donot SOW all of a package of seeds
at once start your plants at different
times so that when the early ones are
through blossoming there will be 9TH
ers to follow.
Saliva, verbenas, phlox, astors, mig
nonette, ageratum, sweet peas, alys-
SUM, pinks and geraniums are all de-
sirable plants for garden, and yield
choicestblossoms for cutting,
Seeds may be planted in a cold
frame in the early part of April, but
will hardly bear transplanting from
either hot bed or cold from much
before the middle Of May.
In starting delicate seeds in boxes
or pots it Is a good plan to cover them
with a layer of bIotting paper fitted
over the soil. Keep the paper wet,
and the earth will remain moist un-
derneath.
Every garden should have a corner
devoted to choice herbs. Mothers all
appreciate the value of those used for
medical purposes and as housekeepers
progress in the art of cooking, they
learn the value of delicate seasoning
and are glad of a supply of both fresh
and dried rosemary, sweet majoram,
thyme, tarragon, etc.
Wick says: at will be well to
make a very general trial this season
IN the cultivation of the species of py-
rethium, from the flowers of which il
made the well-known Persian insect
powder. The powder is made by pull
yerizing them. The use Of this sub
stance would probably be greatly ex-
tended if it should be found that ev-
eryone could raise and prepare his
own supply. The species mostly en-
ployed for the powder are p. cinera-
riaefolium and P. ruseum. The seed
is small and should have careful treat
ment by sowing it in pans, pots, or
boxes Of light soil in the house, hot
bed or coldframe Pick out the young
plants as soon as large enough, and
when the weather is fine enough, and
settled transplant to rich spot in the
garden. If seed is to be sown in the
open ground, have a bed prepared
light and mellow, in a well-drained,
warm spot.

Sarah Wasn't There.

Charley Shaw of the Detroit Opera
House, was grinning at the box office
the other day when in walked a chap
with an agricultural bronze on his
face and asked -
Does any one perform here"
"Oh, yes"
"This afternoon ?"
mo tonight"
'How much to see 'em ?"
"Weu, | can give you a seat for
half a dollar, and you can hold your
girl on your lap"
"Wouldn't anybody Iaff?'
"Not much We don't allow any
laughing in this house"
"WeI, maybe we'll come. Has
this theatre ever burnedup?"
"Never."
ANY danger of fire on the stage?"
"Not a bit"
'Any pickpockets around ?"
"None."
Does anybody peddle lemonade ?"
''No."
ANY prize packages given out?"
'No."
"Take half dollar with a hole in
it?"
'Yes."
'What kind of a play is it?"
"It's tragedy"
Tragedy? Then that lays me out !
Sarah was to a circus last year where
some one hit feiler who crawled un-
der the canvas with a neck-yoke, and
she tainted so dead away that they had
to unhich her corset and jerk of her
shoes. Let her see play where fellers
are iabbing with pitchforks, knocking
down with crowbars and slicing each
other up with swords, and she'd tum-
bic kerplunk and stop the show dead
still. l hope you'll do well and all
that, but | don't bring no Sarah to see
no tragedy, and don't you forget it
She tainted on me once, and my hair
turned gray at the rate of bushel

Senator Cauaron on the Chinese

Senator Angus Cameron has first
and last all the time been in favor of
the anh-Chinese immigration bill, and
has occupied a CONSPICUOUS position
among the champions Of that measure
because his vote has come from a ter
rltory which has contributed very few
crumbs of comfort to the Californians.
The Chicago Tribune in discussing the
passages Of the second Chinese bill in
the United States Senate compliments
Senator Cameron in the following Wig
orous Saxon ''The debate of the new
bill IN the Senate has been sufficiently
astonishing, 1t may be said, with en-
tire respect to the Senate, that not a
single Northwestern Senator except
Cameron of Wisconsin, has exhibited
the least intelligence in regard to the
bill, or the momentous interests in
yoIved in it, or the sentiments of the
country which they represent. Cam
eron has voted against degraded labor
from first to last, and he deserves hon
or and credit for the position he has
taken. LA Crosse Republican and
Leader.

VannoF'S Weather.

ii, q. Nennor makes the following
forecast Of the weather during the
summer of 1882 in his weather bulle-
tin:
l. A season that will merit the des-
ignation of cool to cold and wet. gen
orally. Not that there will not be
terms of summer warmth and even in
tense heat for periods, but rather that
these last will appear in the retrospect
or as the exceptions to the general
rule.
2. The season will be marked by
not only great precipitation, but by a
mugginess of atmosphere, generally,
caused by the reebing condition of
the earth and the long continuance of
clouded sky. This will result in per-
iods of extreme sultriness and heavy
weather, during which the thunder
and hailstorms will occur. In other
words, the summer will be the reverse
of clear and dry.
3. There is a likelihood of June
and August frosts in northern, western
and southern sections, and a general
cold wave may occur toward midsum-
mer.
4. The autumn months will con
tinue moist. September will propab-
ly give rains and floods in Western
Canada, and in western and southern
sections of the United States. Octo-
Der will be much the same, with early
colds and snow falls. November will
begin the winter Of 1928 winter
likely to be memorable on account Of
It's exceptionally heavy snow falls and
very cold weather over the northern
hemisphere. That "a cold and wet
summer is invariably followed by
cold and stormy winter" is truth
now so well proven and borne out by
the testimony of past records that we
cannot lightly put it aside and if we
have good and sufficient grounds for
predicting the former-as we most as
suredly have at this timc-it is but
we right that should warn the people
Of the latter in good season.
5. The approaching season will
probably be the first Of a couple of wet
summers, and as 1882 is, so is 1888
likely to be. But here we must stop
for the present.

Shut In.

Shut in shut in from the ceaseless din
Ofthe restless world and its want and sin:
Shut in from its turmoil, care and strife,
And ali the Wearisome round Of life.
Shut III with tears that are spent in vain,
With the dull companionship Of pain;
Shut in with the changeless days and hours.
And the bitter knowledge of falling powers.
Shut in with dreams of the days gone by.
With buried joys that were born to die;
Shut in with hopes that have lost the zest,
And leave but longing after rest.
Shut in with a trio Of angels sweet,
Patience and grace all pain to meet,
With faith that can suffer, and stand and wait
And lean on the promises strong and great.
Shut In with Christ? Oh, wonderful thought!
Shut in with the p ace His suffering brought;
Shut in with the 10 &c that wields the rod;
Oh, company blest shut in with God.

The following from the pen OF
Hod Taylor is truth itself: 1t is work
that wins always and everywhere.
You hear good many people talk
about luck. If a man succeeds he is
called lucky, and if he fails, an un-
lucky fellow. As rule, that is all
CANNON. The men who talk such
stuff are usually poor, shiftless good
for-nothings. The men who build
fortunes, and conduct great enter
prises, and win wide regulations, don't
talk much about "luck." They know
it is vim, and pluck and brains that
win the valuable prizes in the great
tournament of life. There are possible
exceptions to this rule, but they are
rare. In business in politics, in relig-
ion, in every department Of human
activity and attainment, the hardest
workers will be found in the foremost
ranks. Work wins. In the pulpit,
on the bench, at the bar, behind the
press, everywhere workers are wanted.

"A Washington correspondent says
Of Blain's hundred thousand dollar
house which he is erecting at the Ma
tional Capital "Blaine goes over it
almost every day, and has made many
changes in it. He will have his fine
library completely removed there, and
make it his principal residence, spend
ing the whole winter in Washington,
and the spring and early summer. He
points out to his friends the room this
one Of the boys shall occupy and that
one Of his daughters. Persons who
think that he is distressed about the
Presidency do not understand how
much JOY he takes in having his own
complete home for the first time in his
life. He said to me recently that all
there was of life was having ones fam
lily put in happy quarters around one,
and then his friends who had stood by
him in battling years to come and see
him. Here Blaine remarked 4 shall

the past ten years. | will be where
they can come and always find me at
