Old Prob said it would be colder yes.
terday, and be bit it. A cold rain and
snow reminded US of Water, while The
budding trees assert that spring has
come. We would call the attention Of
the people, who never saw such cold
weather at this season. tn the fact that
on the % h of April 1874, we had snoS
II inches deep. and that on Sunday tn
23d of April 1882. it showed from 9 a.
NJ. to 4 P. N. aid on the Goth, we had
ice / inch thick; aud that on the 23l Of
Nav 1893, Paid, Mountain was white
with snow. A careful review Of the
weather for a number of Years, will
cause a person to believe that there ls
nothing new under the suu.

Good Business Rules.

Business men, especially those who
are prompt and methodical, are guided
by certain elementary principles. In
some cases these principles are formu-
lated into simple rules, which cover
even the details of conduct.
A prominent New York banker attrib-
utes his success in business to the care
with which he has obeyed these plaiD
rules:
Take time for eating, sleeping and di-
gestion.
Don't worry. Be satisfied with your
work, after doing it well.
Never ask another to do what you
ought to attend TO personally.
Shun the slightest appearance Of dis
honesty, as you would shun the plague
Always meet your appointments on
time. Never late. If possible, not
much ahead Of the moment.
Don't talk too much. Let your sac-
tons speak for yourself.
sBe honest, even if you lose money
by it.
Never let business interfere with
home duties.
Remember that money alone cannot
buy peace, nor trne friends, nor loving
family.
1t is refreshing, in these days of spec
nlation and dishonest dealings TO know
that a man can live according TO the
above principles and yet make money
It shows that honesty and business car
go hand in hand.

A Weather Prophet.

Henry G. Vennor, the weather proph-
ct, died in Montreal. Mr.. Vennor was
born in the Province of Quebec in 1910.
He was graduated from the McGill Uni
versity where he took courses in civil
engineering and science. In 1865 he
was appointed on the geological survey
of Canada by the late Sir William Lo-
gan and he spent four months in tent
on the Great Manitoulin Island in Lake
Huron. After that he explored many
different sections of Canada. He also
engaged in the study OF ornithology and
had men ont at private expense making
collections. In 1875, after survey in
Eastern Ontario, Mr.. Vennor began
making weather predictions. He once
stated that the grounds on which he
made his predictions we're as follows :
First on the principle OF recurring peri
DDS in the weather at irregular bnt as
ceftanable Intervals; second, from a
close study Of charts OF the winters for
past seasons, embracing period Of fifty
years third, from upward Of eighteen
years ont -of-door and camp life, and
original observations OF the habits o.
birds and animals fourth, from inpres
sio,,s intuitiye,y formed and not dcscrib.

A TERRIBLE STORY.
The Tortures Said to be Pracstced In Pri.
vnfe Insane Asyiums.
From the ST. James, Gazette

From the 81. lsrnsss Gazette
A gentleman, giving the name o. c.
G. Ethelson. attended before Mr.. Flow
ers at Bow Street to ask for summons
against the medical superintendent and
officials OF private asylum where he
was confined in the year 1879. The ap-
plicant said that he could testify that by
scientific methods the most severe tor
lures might be inflicted with ass much
suffering as vas endured in former times
when patients were chained to the floor
and fogged. He complained that all
the food tasted intensely bitter, SO much
SO that he could with difficulty touch
anything, the eatables being heavily
drugged. In addition to the loss of the
natural functions of his body his throat
commenced to close up. The third night
he was overpowered by the fumes Of
chloroform and he was removed to a
room where the chimney had been
blocked up and fire lighted, and he
was compelled to sleep in that suffoca-
ting atmosphere all night. He attrlbu-
ted this to desire on the part Of the su-
perintendent to cause his death by
coughing. At the end Of the three days
he was on the verge of insanity and suf
fered from an internal complaint, and In
week was nearly dead. at last the
superintendent relented, and it was sig
nifcant that the day before he (the APP
plicant) had Bible placed hear him
with mark at the passage "He shall
not die, but live" During his conva-
lescence he complained that sp1phurous
fumes were passed into his toom, and
had the effect OF causing him great agony.
! One night the watchman CAME to the
door Of his room and said, i'll sepul-
chral voice: "Have you got the foot
blocks ready?' but he dared not ask
previous occasion he had been tod that
Dead men tell no tales" His princi-
pal food was pork, and he was informed
that the object of this Yas "to keep the
lamp of life burning ld@." On the oc-
casion OF his being sent to Eastbourne
he noticed at his lodgings coil of rope
with black silk necktie placed upon it.
In the room next the window, about
eight feet high, large iron staple mac
been driven into the wall to make it con
spicuous. He Immediately realized that
it was to provoke him to commit suicide
and if he had only touched the rope out
of curiosity he would have been seized
and detained for life. Mr.. Flowers sale
this was matter beyond hisjurisdictiol
and referred the applicant to the Lunacy
Commissioners.
