TIE HUDSON BAY RourD.


When the Hu,lson's bay project first
began to he seriously discussed q few
months ago by the general public,
there were any number of pretended
authorities WHO, i'll the all sufficiency
of their conccit and ignorance-con.
ccit in their own astnteness and ignor.
IN &c of any authoritative information
in regard to the subject under discus.
Ision-werc olitspoken in their ridicule
Uf the idea. This is nothing new in
history. Most of the greatest achieve.
ments the world has ever witnessed
have at first been received with the
same cool breath of contempt. But
the world moves, the light of research
spreads faster and intelligent people
OF the present day are, after the first
surprise. inclined to be more llospita.
BILE to new ideas than formerly. Ac.
cordingly, we observe that the pro.
ject OF II Hudson bay route is now
receiving respectful attention from
those who few weeks ago We're pleas.
ed to make sport of the matter. The
fact is. during the past few months,
people in general have become possess.
ell of no little amount of practical
knowledge in regard to the climate
and resources of the Hudson bay
country, knowledge for which the
world in general has had no demand
heretofore. The necessities of the
great Northwest have led to q closer
investigation of the subject. and every
added ray of light gives encouragement
that the idea of a short route to the
markets of the old world from the
Northwest is entirely feasible. So
much corroborative testimony has
been produced or to the navigaMlity
of Hudson bay and straits that few
at this date have the temerity to make
war on the project. So far as we can
learn all authoritative records that have
been quoted and all explorers or travel.
lers through that region agree that
the route is navigable between four
and live months in the year. Bell,
Kennedy. Nelson, Pussy and other au.
thorities who have been called on to
testify are in substantial accord.
Let us hope there will be rs little
delay as possible in opening up this
great northern highway. Northern
Dakota and Minnesota as well as Man.
itoba will watch the development of
his scheme with especial interest and
nope for its speedy consummation.

A New Use for Eggs.


Every one is familiar with the alue of
the yolk of an egg as a hair wash, but
perhaps may not be aware of its virtue in
clothing cleansing. Beaten un with alco-
hol, eau de cologne or ether, like OK gall,
it keeps better and is more powerful; o
in simple cases, it may be used alone, or
merely mixed with water, to be rubbed
on with flannel, for removing from color
ed materials the stains of mud, or of cof-
fee and chocolate, when prepared with
milk. 1t is frequently applied to velvet
collars and cuffs, etc, and proves a
cleanser, as well as a spot extractor.
When it has done its work it is WISHED off
with soap, and the material thoroughly
rinsed in pure water. Egg has specially
good effect on those annoying patches of
wheel grease belonging to the compound
class ofstains, as they represent Il mixture
of steal grease, iron and other substances.

Mimic is to catch new town hall, tie
city fathers having purchased lots upon
which to place it.
Oscar A. Trovateen of Edinburgh and
Miss Lena Soil of Garfield were married

performing the ceremony.
On Monday of last week Mrs. Stewart
of Garfield was bitten on the arm by Il
dog while carrying an armful of wood
into the house. DR.. Robertson dressed
the wound.

house, five miles Gust of Garfield, March

We are glad to notice the fact that the
new board of village trustees are taking
a decided stand, to prevent the too fire.

streets. And have served notice on all

The Garfield Gazette says: We under
stand that the post Office las been closed
at Silyesta. Rev. Mr.. Berry having left
about a week or ten days ago. This is a
great Inconvenience to large number
of citizens of that neighborhood, as it
compels them to come here or go either
to Edinburgh or Elain post Offices for
their mail. We heard that an applica-
ton has been sent to Washington, to lave
post Office established at Strate Bros.
store; and another at Martin Hammer
stead's some three miles south of that
store. 1t would be better to have one at
either place than the way it is now.

a few miles west of Mimic, about Il year
ago and settled Ill the Turtle Mountain
district, has been spending few days in

for raising stock as one could wish, and
that there is but little trouble in winter

Hen Track Correspondent
Burlington uawkeye.l

Who is the man that is looking SO hard
at the piece of paper? lie is an intelli-
gent compositor. Why does he hold the
paper SO close TO his eyes? Because the
correspondent that wrote it makes hen
tracks. What is he saying? Hc is say
ing, II can't make out this stuff" And
who is the other man going to the case?
That is the furious foreman. What does
he want? He is going to help the intel
'ixent tomrositor decipher the hen track {.
DO you think he can do it? l don't
know, lie can do most anything, but
guess that will be too much for him.
Now see another man coming. What
is he going to do? That is the precise
proof reader. He is going to cast his
eagle eye overthe hen tracks to see where
they lead to. Do you think he can fint,
out? No, not without Il guide or calcium
tight. Now here comes another man
wlDis the man? That is the able editor.
Where does he come from? From his
den. Now all the men are close together
-oCS. IIiclI uSd rs l3lDSL VOuCIl-dIlu lIlCy
are looking every one q. the piece of
paper. What are they doing that for?
Because they are concentrating their
giant intellects upon the piece of paper to
see what the hen track correspondent
means by'l,is hieroglvphics. Have they
found out. No, tliev are stumped. Now
they are going away from the case. Yes.
And one of the men chucks the piece of
paper into the stove. Why does he do
that? Because he can't read the hen
tracks. Who is the small boy that has
a grin on his face and his hat turned up in
frontY He is the office boy. What is the
able editor saying to him? He is telling
him to goafter the long range shot gun.
What for? Because the able editor wants
to 60 hunting after the hen track cor
respondent. Will he hurthim Yes he
will,if he catches him. Do you think
the correspondent ought to be killed.
Certainly.

The cherish ed work of life is incomplete.

The Kind Old Man.

The kind old man-the mild old NAH
Who smiled on the boys at play,
Dreaming, perchance. OF his own glad youth
When he WAS as blythe and gay.
And the larger urchin tossed the ball,
And the lesser held the bat
Though the kindly old man's eyes were
bfurred,
He cou1d even notice that. ID
But suddenly he was shocked to hear
Words that dare not write,
And he hasten ed in his kindly way,
To curb them as he might.
And he said: " Tut, tut! you naughty boy
With the balli for shamei" and then
You boy with the bat, whack him over the
head
Ifke calls you that againl"
The kind old nan-the mild old man
Who gazed at the boys at play,
Dreaming, perchance, of his own wild youth
When he was as tough as they.
