After a Norway Wolf.
[From the London Field,

Snow skates are often useful when hunt
ing, as shown by the following story OF
an occurrence some years ago in the
highest part Of Norway. A Fin, who was
herd to a large number of reindeer,
had lost some OF his masters deer by the
attacks OF a big wolf. which one day
caught one belonging to himself. It may
be explained that deer-herds are often
paid with deer, and in this manner are
often possessors of some. The deer taken
by the wolf was the best belonging to
this man-his pride and joy; so he swore
that the wolf should pay for it with his
life, and, knowing that it would soon
come back for another meal, he kept on
the watch with a gun, accompanied by
another deer-herd, both in their usual
skin dresses and on snow skates. The
wolf duly came and the hunt commenc-
ed, at first over a plain, whore the ami
NAL gained little ground, then up hill a
little, so that 1t had still greater advan-
tages; but as the descent commenced the
Fin gained, his companion being not SO
quick. Unfortunately the descent was
not long enough for the shepherd to get
near enough TO shoot, and long plain
lay before them, as he threw his skin
cloak away, and was thus able to increase
his speed, but, as he still felt that the
wolf had chance of escaping, he also
dropped his rife, knowing that his com
panion would pick it up. This enabled
him to gain nearer to the thief, and as
the ground ag ain began to be on the de-

The Capital of Madagascar.

A resident of Madagascar for seven
years recently surprised his London
audience IN the course of lecture for
the benefit of hospital at TananarivO.
the capital OF the island, by describing
the civilization OF the Malagasy. He
found Tananar1vo to be be areally splen-
did city. with magnificent public build
ings. The house he lodged at was as
good as any in London, and there was a
Catholic Church which would not dis
grace Paris. The prime minister, who
was curiously enough husband of the
queen and almost the most intelligent.
astute and clever man he had ever met,
occupied a splendid official residence.
The premier knew precisely how far he
could advance in the path of civilization,
and where to stop. No outside people
could so well control the Malagasy as
the present prime minister. During
the queens reign of ten years he had
publicly abolished idol worship and en-
braced Christianity. The mobiles of the
land as we'll as the mass of the pOpula-
ton were now Christians. The premier
was an educational reformer and estab-
lished numerous schools He had abOI-
ished s. trial by poison" superstitious
rite which used to decimate the country.
1t was intended to make the queen de
fdctO SIS we'll as de jare the monarch of
the island, and it was a great pity that
any disturbance should come to the OK
listing state Of things. Among other
benefcent changes which the prime min
lister had wrought was the abolition of
the introduction Of slaves from Africa.
He did this with one stroke of the pen.
and in doing 1t he did away with what
might be called the material wealth I"
OF Madagascar. A man had before been
considered richer or poorer in proper
ton to the number of slaves he owned.
A natural anxiety prevailed that coun-
try which had SO far advanced in civil
cation should not go back.

Good News for Dyspeptics.

The Lancet offers delightful, cheer
ing remarks to the mlddle-aged dispep-
tic: Elderly people are often able to
compete with the younger members of
the family in the enjoyment of Christmas
cheer in manner which amazes their
middle-aged relations. The explanation
IS that the digestive elements are long
preserved, so that a man who, IN the
prime of manhood, was martyr to dis
pepsia, by reason ofthe constituencies or
his gastric nerves, eats and drinks with
the courage and success OF a boy IN his
later years, when his nerves are blunted
and when, therefore, his peptic cells are
able to pursue the chemical work undis-
turbed by nervous worries.

Humorists of Maine.
[From the Portland (Me.) Press.

The death of Matthew f. Whittier,
author Of the Ethan Spike letters, re-
minds me Of the fact that Maine, among
her native and resident citizens, has con-
trlbuted a large share of those writer's
who have given distinctive character to
American humor. Seba Smith, whose
Jack Downing letters were written when
he was editing a newspaper in this city,
vas one of the first, if not the very first,
to adapt the Yankee dialect to the pur-
poses OF humorous writing. His Jack
Downing letters gave him a humorous
reputation. Charles T. Blown, a native
of Waterford, in this state, in the char
acter Of Artemus Ward, attained high
reputation as q humorist IN England as
well as this country. Matthew F. Whit
tiers Ethan Spike letters, though not so
wide in their scope, were even more true
to the traits of the Yankee character.
They we're very widely read, and if col
lected into volume would be found
worthy of permanent place in the lit
erature Of humor. David Barker might
be added to this trio, since he united
with his poetic gift vein of native hu-
NOR, which found expression in his poem
of the "Courtship and other produc-
tiOns

CAFB ANNE. sEPTEMBER SURF, 1882.
White fire upon the gray-green waste of waves,
The low light of the breaker flares. All, seel
Outbursting on a sky of steel and ice,
The baf1ed sun stabs wildly at the gale.
The water rises like god aglow
Who all too long hath slept and dreamed too sure
And finds his goddess fed his empty arms.
Silent, the mighty cliff receives at last
That rage of elemental tenderness,
The old omnipotent caress she knows.
Yet once the solid earth did melt for her,
And, plying, made retreat before her flight.
Would she have hidden her forever there?
Or did she, wavering, hnger long enough
To let the accustomed torrent chase her DOWN
Over the neck of the gorge
cling. Lean desperately!
He who feared a chasIns edge
Were never the one to see
The torrent and the triumph hid
Where the deep surges be.

Where wide the tide swings free;

There is not patience enough in all the shore,
There is not passion enough in all the sea,
To tell my love for thee.

cent he was sure of his prey. In the
middle of the falling ground he overlook
the wolf, and, while passing it, lifted his
staff and gave it such heavy stroke on
the back that the animal at once fell ex-
hausted, and was dispatched with his
dagger. The story is quite true, and
shows that skill in snow-skate running is
possessed by the Fins, and how little
they fear a single wolf

THE PARSON S PIPE.

Alas! his fancied solitude,

In al moralities star.
Candid IS Scots are known to be,
He asked the pastor whether he

MAIDEN DREAMS
By WALTER POLLOCK.

The stainless trust of your maiden years,
And wonder how much the dog at your side
Knows of your delicate hopes and fears.
AS wise as he IL, he scarce can guess
All that I'd give to take his place,
10 near you those pretty thoughts confess,
To sit at your side and look in your face.
My little lady, this thing is sure,
That till upward flow the sacred streams,
NO folly Of mine your heart shall lure,
No word of mine shall disturb your dreams.

PICTURE FRAMES.
G1lded frames of mirrors and pictures
are beautifully cleaned by applying the
white OF eggs with a cancels hair brush.
To prevent flies setting upon them, wash
IN garlic or onion water. Do not fear
the odor, as it soon dies away, and
brightens the gilt.
REBEL CORN BREAD.
Take two cups of hominy, boiled soft;
while hot mix in a large spoonful of but
ter. Beat four eggs very light and stir
into the hominy, then add, gradually,
one pintSof milk. Lastly, add half a
pint of corn meal. The batter should be
about the consistency of a rich boiled
custard. Bake with a strong heat at the
bottom of the oven and not too much at
the top, in order to accelerate rising.
The pan should be deep enough to give
space for rising.
STUFFED DUCK.
According to O Baltimore epicure. q
highly satisfactory stuffing for o duck,
whether canvas-back or red-head, is
made by grating enough bread to fl.
the bird; moisten it with cream or with
milk, III which put tablespoonful of
melted butter; season with salt, pepper,
etc., the rind of alemon, a tablespoonful
of chopped celery and the yolk of one
egg. If the flavor of an oyster is to you
delectable, he says, add a few raw oys-
tiers whole. A strip of bacon placed
over the breast of the roasting duck
gives delicate, almost imperceptible
flavor, and prevents it becoming dry.
HOW To COOK PIGEONS.
Unless pigeons are quite young they
are better praised, or stewed In broth,
than cooked in any other manner. Tie
them In shape; place slice of bacon at
the bottom OF a stewpan; lay 10 the
pigeons side by side, all their breasts
uppermost, and an onion with Glove
stuck In, a teaspoOnful of sugar and
some parsley, and pour over enough
stock to cover them. # you have no
stock use boiling water. Now put some
thin slices of bacon over the tops of the
pigeons, cover them as closely as posi-
BILE, adding water or stock when neces-
sary. Let them simmer until they are
very tender. Serve each pigeon on a
thin piece of bUttered toast with a Dor
der OF spinach, or make little nests of
spinach on pieces of toast, putting
pigeon into each nest. Ph5I0deLDhia
