Cruelty to Animals.

There are people who are not natur-
ally unkind, nevertheless they, in many
ways, are cruel to dumb animals, some
times not intentionally so. In 1881 the
British National Veterinary Congress
appointed comm ttee for the purpose
OF considering the su 1ject of cruelty to
animals and publishing such observa-
tions as it thought well to make. in the
name of the pro ession, regarding GER
tain practices and operations relating to
and performed on animals. The fol-
lowing is brief declaration agreed
upon by this committee:
'.Lamencss may be painless or pain
full. Those cases where the lameness
passes off with exercise are prima facie
cases being accompanied with pain.
This specially applies to cases of navic-
ular diseases and SPAWN. In such cases
horses ought not be worked, and when
worked it is cruelty. Gingering is de-
cidedly cruel. Wounds are not causes
for untitness for work. unless pressed
upon by harness or affected by the
movements of the animal. The prac-
tice called 'tintching' causes acute pain
and is frequently unjustifiable, especial
ly when tintch is used by stablemen
and others in charge of horses. Burn
ing gums for .lampass' is cruelty. Ex-
tracing temporary teeth, save for sur
gical reason, is cruelty. Docking and
nicking horses are cruel operations,
when done for fashion and not to re-
move malformations or cure disease.
Docking sheep, under well-known con,
ditions, is necessary operation. Mark
ing and branding animals, when neces-
sary, should be performed by the
quickest and least painful method.
Wor1ning the tail, docking and crop
ping the ears of dogs are unnecessary,
and, therefore, cruel operations, when
not performed to remove malformations
or cure disease" - San Francisco
Chronicle.

Life in st. Petersburg.

People here all arm themselves for
the winter. There can he no question
as to its severity. Indeed, ono would
be inclined to imagine it were almost
welcomed as a friend, for keen disap-
pointment is expressed when the snow
is tardy in falling. After the heavy
rains which fall in the late autumn
snow roads are almost q necessity OF
existence. If frost suddenly sets in
before they are made. it is under great
difficulties that the country people
bring supplies to the metropolis; the
price of provisions rises in proportion.
and distress ensues. Double windows
are UNIVERSAL; they are an absolute
necessity For the admission of fresh
air, one pane in each window is left so
that it may be opened at pleasure. The
rest OF the window is so thoroughly
secured that not a breath of the keen
air can enter. This process accom-
plished, the difference OF the tempera-
ture within doors is sensibly percepti-

may then be delayed for some time.

CHAPTER XXI.

JOHN GORDON WRITES A aETrn
When they parted in the park, Mr..
Whittlestaff trudged off to bis own no.
tel through the heat and sunshine. He
walked quickly. and never looked be.
hind him. and went as though he had
fully accomplished his object in one di-
rection, and must hurry to get it done
in another 10 Gordon he had left No
directions whatever. Was he to be al
lowed to 60 down to Mary, or even to
write her letter? He did not know
whether Mary had ever been told OF
this wonderful sacrifice which had been
made on her behalf. He understood
that he was to have his own way, and
was to be permitted TO regard himself
as betrothed to her, but he did not al
all understand what steps he was to
take in the matter, except that he was
not to 90 again to the diamond-fields.
But Mir. Whittlestaff hurried himself
off to his hotel and shut himself up il
his own bed room--and when there, he
sobbed. alas! like child.
The wife whom he had won, for him.
self was probably more valuable to him
than if he had simply found her olsen
gagged and ready to jump into his arms.
She, at any rate, had behaved well.
MIR. Whittlestaff had no doubt proved
himself to be an angel, perfect all
rOund-such a man as you shall not
meet perhaps once in your life. Bu
Mary, too, had so behaved as to en-.
nance the love of any man who had
been already engaged to her. As he
thought of the whole story of the past
week, the first idea that occurred to
him was that he certainly had been
present to her mind during the whole
period of his absence. Though not a
word had passed between them, and
though no word of absolute love for
each other had even been spoken be-
fore, she had been steady to him. with
no actual basis on which to found her
love. He had known, and she had been
sure, and therefore she had been true
to him. Of course. being a true man
himself. he worshipped her all the
more. Mr.. Whiitlestaff was absolute
ly, undoubtedly perfect; but in Cor
don's estimation Mary was not far oil
perfection. But what was he to do
now. SO that he might approach her?
