Ten Thousand a Year.

From the Toronto NALL
When Mr.. Bell Belmont, manager o
the st. Julian restaurant, in King
Street, left his home in London, En-
gland, fifteen years ago, he intended
going TO Australia. En- route, he
stopped IN Toronto a few days, and
thinking he might go further and fare
worse, he resolved to remain here, and
became engaged in the hotel business.
Before leaving London he placed in
charge of his father number of shares
he had acquired in certain railway, gas,
and water companies. At that time
these shares were comparatively worth
less, but as time wore on their value
increased, till at length they became a
very considerable property. Beside his
father and the shares referred to, Mr..
Belmont also left at home sister and a
son. The father died three or four
wears afterward, ard the sisters inqui-
lies after her brother in Australia were
Of course futile, and he was given up for
dead.
A few days ago Mr.. Boldly, city clerk,
received letter from the sons solici-
tors in London asking for a certificate
of MIR. Belmont's death. The city clerk
communicated this fact to Mr.. Belmont,
who now discovers that he is the pos
SCISSOR of a property composed of the
shares and dividend and interest ac-
crued thereto, amounting in all to an
income of $4,000 year. Mr.. Belmont
made money in the White Oak Hotel,
which is carried on at the corner of
Yonge and Elm Streets, but lost it
again. and was spending his latter years
in somewhat reduced circumstances. 1t
appears that he was not absolutely ig-
norant of the fortune belonging to him
in England, but for reasons known to
himself he never took pains to lay
claim to it.

PIuck and Prayer.


There ma MT any use o fretting.
And told Obadiah so,
For eff we couldn't hold ON 10 things,
We'd Jest got to let EN- go.
There were lots of folks that suffer
Along with the rest OF US,
An il didn't seem to be wurth our while
To make such dretiie fuss.
To be sure the barn was most empty,
An corn an pertateTs sCa'ce,
An not much of anything plenty an cheap
But water-an' apple-sass.
But then-a | told Obadiah
1t want any use To grOan,
For flesh and blood couldn At stand 1t; and he
Was nothing but skin an bone.
But, lawsl eff you'd only heerd him.
AT any hour of the night,
A-praying' out in that closet there
IT would have set you crazy quite.

With cloth that was noWays thln
But IL seemed as et the pieces wore out
As fast as | set EN- in.
TO me he said mighty little
OF the thOrny way we trod
But at least dozen times II day
He talked Ii over with God.
Down on his knees in that closet
The most of his time was passed;
For Obadiah knew how To pray
Much better than how 10 fast.
But am way contrary
That eff things don't go jest right,

An gettin ready TO fight.

An l didn't even complain 10 God,
Though think that he found 1t out
With the point of a cambria needle

For knew that we needn't starye TO death
Or be lazy because we were poor
An Obadiah he wondered,
An kept me patchin' his knees.
An thought il strange how the meal held out
An stranger we didn't freeze.
But | said to myself IN whispers,
''God knows where his gift decends;
An I isn't always that faith gets down
As far as the fingers ends"
An would not have no one reckon
Ny Obadiah a snirk:
For some, you know, nave the gift to pray,
And others the gift to work.

Curious Hybrid Cattle.

The warden of Manitoba penitentiary
near Winnipeg, has fine herd of by
brid cattle, crossed between the male
buffalo and the domestic COW. They
are very tame, taking no more notice
of human beings than ordinary cattle
do. They are very hardy, and seem
pre-eminently adapted to ranging our
plains. They readily mate, and nature
seems to provide their offspring with a
constitution adapted TO all climate ex-
tremes of the Northwest. They are not
housed during the winter, but find
their food under the snow, and thrive
where other cattle would starve. The
beef is excellent, and yarn has been
spun from their hair. They do not
show disposition to stray away, and
altogether it would seem as if it might
be to the interest of scientists to study
this question of the infusion of buffalo
blood into our herds Fargo Argus.

Buttermilk for Sheep Ticks.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune kills ticks on sheep by apply
ing buttermilk freely along the back so
that it pours down on each side. By
adding half pint of kerosene oil to a
gallon of buttermilk, and beating it with
whisk to an emulsion, this remedy is
made much more effective as the oil is
an active insecticide, and the milk di
lutes it so as to render it harmless to
the skin of the sheep or lambs.

A Curious Man.


Rev. Mr.. Hegemore, who died in En-
gland, January l, 1746, was notable as an
eccentric character. He kept one serv-
ant OF each sex, whom he locked up
every night. His last employment in
the evening was to go round his prem
ises, let loose his dogs, and fire his gun.
He lost his life in singular manner.
Going one morning to let out his sery-
ants, the dog fawned upon him sudden
ly and threw him into a deep pond.
The servants heard him call ont for as
sistance, but being locked I'D could not
afford him any aid, in consequence of
which he was drowned He had thirty
gowns and cassocks, fifty-eight dogs,
eighty wigs Though he always wore his
own hair, eighty wagons and carts,
eighty plows land used none), ffty
saddles, thirty wheelbarrows, and so
many walking sticks that toyrnan
offered his successor e8 for them. He
had also sixty horses and mares, 300
picka1es, 200 spades and shoveIs,
twenty-five ladders, and $50 razors.
He died interstate and the property went
to a hotel porter in London.

Household Hints,

| Household Hints.
To polish wood floors of black walnut
ana ash: Molsten "a soft flannel cloth
with kerosene oil, rub the wood with it
and then with avery soft, clean, and dry
| flannel. Ii this work is trusted wholly to
maid 1t will very likely not be a success,
| for too much oil will be used. and that
Is far worse than to use no oil at all.
A CREAM pie made after this rule is
an improvement upon the old time So
called cream pie: Make a rich custard :;
If possible use cream, but if not use
rich milk and some cream with it; bake
tins IN puff paste; while it is baking
whip cotiee-cup full of thick. sweet
cream till it is aslight as it can be, and
when the pie is taken from the oven put
the whipped cream on top.
To clean wash leather, make a solu-
ton of weak soda and warm water. Rub
plenty of soft soap into the leather, and
let 1T remain in soak for two hours, then
rub well until quite clean. Rinse thor
| oughly Ia weak solution of soda and
yellow soap IN warm water only, else it
dries hard. After rinsing, wiring it well
in rough towel and dry quickly, then
pull it about and crush it until soft.
IMMEDIATELY on being stung by a
bee, place the hollow barrel of KEY
round the sting and press until it begins
to hurt. On removing the key the
sting will be found lying outside the
| puncture it has made and inside the
ring formed by the pressure of the key
barrel. All pain ceases at once, no
swelling takes place, and in a few min
utes it is difficult to find again where
one has been stung.
| DURING the night give wakeful chill
dred food. Sleep wall follow. The sick
should invariably eat during the night
| This is imperative. At night the deli
cate and children may take slowly warm
milk, beef tea or oatmeal Cruel Wig
orous adults may also eat bread and
milk, cold beef, mutton, chicken and
| bread, raw oysters, all, of course, in
moderation. Do not eat if not hungry
Eat if you are A Boston Physician.
To clean stained woodwork which is
| also vanished, an old housewife recon-
mends the saving of tea leaves from the
teapot for few days. Drain them, and
when you have sufficient quantity put
them In clean, soft water; let them sim
mer for half an hour. When almost
cold strain them out, and dipping a
| tlannel cloth in the water, wipe off the
paint, drying it with another flannel
cloth. One quart of tea leaves to one
| quart of water is the due allowance.

CHAPTER XIV

That Summer was an unusually hot
and dry one throughout the state Of
Michigan and in fact throughout most
of the west.
AS day succeeded day, and each one
more hot than its predecessor. vcgeta-
ton halted in its growth for want of
necessary moisture in the earth. Trees
actually died from thirst in the forest,
Many springs ceased to bubble forth the
sparkling water, marshes became as
dry as the more elevated ground. riyu-
lets silrank III their dimensions until
they became mere rillS and small pools
OF Stagnant water in the lowest uarts
OF their channels.
Animals and human beings frequent
" suffered for want of water since
the storm mentioned in a preceding
chapter, no rain had fallen during the
space of several weeks. and the atmos-
phere began to be permeated with
smoke, indicating that somewhere fires
were raging.
This smoke grew denser each suc-
ceeding day until lungs and eyes be-
came sore and painful from contact
with it. When neighbors met, the COM
mon theme of conversation was the
severe drouth, and fears were expressed
that If rain did not come soon, fires
would rage in the woods.
Still days passed on and norain-cloud
doomed above the horizon, the atmos-
phere grew so smoky that vision was
circnmscribed, and the light breezes
that barely stirred the whitening forest
leaves, seemed like breath from the
mouth of blazing furnace.
"No human power could save us if
fire should get started in the woods"
