all the difference in the world in the

in the sleepy suburb yields only 100
glasses of ''solid' liquor. will, in a

Americans Rushing to the Cities.

Population seems to seek its kind,
and such inducements as our cities af-
ford prove too attractive for the rural
population. In 1880 only one-ninth of
the population of Minnesota lived in
cities. If the state census Just pub
lished, may be credited, one-fifth of
her present population lives in cities.
Speaking roundly, it may be said that,
in 1890, one-thirtieth of the population
of the United States was found in cities
Of more than 5000 population; in 1900,
one-twenty-tifth; in 1910. and also in

more than one fifth, and 1880, halfway

The Exploration of Hudson Bay.

In the month of February last a re-
port was laid before the Parliament of
Canada detailing the results of an ex-
petition dispatched by the Government
of that country particularly for the pur-
pose of inquiring into the navigability
of Hudson Strait and Bay, and, at the
same time, of gathering information
concerning the resources of that region,
and its availability as field for settled
habitation. This report represents the
first properly organized attempt that
has ever been made to pierce the Sc
crets of Hudson Bay for the public
benefit.
1t is at first blush not easy to under
stand why this mighty expanse of wa
ter, occupying the peculiarly important
position that it does, should remain for
so many generations comparatively I'M
explored, and wholly unutilized, except
as hunting-ground for a New Bed
ford whalers, or medium of easy COM
munication between some half-dozen
scattered factories of the Hudson Bay
Company. Although called bay. it is
really an inland sea, 1000 miles in
length by 600 in width, having thus an
area of about 500, 600 square miles, or
quite half that OF the Mediterranean
1t drains an expanse of country spread
ing out more than 1000 miles from
east to west, and 1000 from north to
south, or an area of 100000 square
miles. Into its majestic waters pour
feeders which take their rise in the
Rocky Mountains on the west and in
Labrador on the east, while southwark
it stretches out its riyer-roots away be-
low the 49th parallel until they tap the
same lake-source which sends n stream
into the Gulf of Mexico. Despite its
distance northward, its blue waves are
never bound by icy letters, and its
broad gateway to the Atlantic is GER
tainly navigable four months out of the
year, and possibly all the year round
to properly equipped steamships. Its
depths abound in fnny wealth, from
the mammoth whale to the tiny caplin.
Its shores are serrated by numerous
streams, some navigable for long dis
tances inland, and all stocked with the
finest of fresh-water fish, and clothed
as to their banks with valuable timber
ready for the lum berman' axe. Its is
lands are rich in mineral ore of many
kinds. The country whose margin its
tides lave is well adapted for tillage
and pasturage, while al around the re-
gion swarms with animals and birds
whose flesh or fur renders their chase a
highly lucrative employment.-J. Mac

Methods Of Hanging.

The mode of carrying out the sem
tence of the law, .'be hanged by the
neck until you are dead" has usually
been left to the discretion of the hang
man, the law taking no cognizance as
to what is to be the proximate cause
of death. Calcraft invariably adopted
the short drop of about two feet and a
half; and if | may judge from some
specimens of his ropes, which are still
to be seen at kirkdale, death must
have been produced by slow process
of asphyxia. Marwood adopted what
is generally known as the long drop,
of which he was supposed by many to
be the originator, though it was used
long before his time, both in Paris and
in Ireland.
To Professor Haughton we are in
debted for scientific exposition of the
rationale of the long drop, and of the
mode in which death takes place. DIR.
Haughton also gives an elaborate ex-
PLANTATION of the American method,
which is scientific modification of the
old naval method of running the culprit
up to the yard-arm.
Having now briefly referred to the
different modes of hanging which have
been adopted in executing criminals,
we will be better able to judge which
is the best and most practical method
when we have considered the various
causes of death. Professor Tidy says
that Gin hanging, as in drowning,
death does not always take place in
exactly the same way. Thus, it may
result from-O asphyxia; ~ cere-
bral hyperamia; (3) a combination OF
asphyxia with apoplexy; ca syncope;
60 injury to the spinal cord and pneu-
mogastrics (neuroparalytic death). y

board neckwear, but most people who
wear collars now use linen. The paper
collar had its points, however. 1t was
always ready for use, and man WASH
as dependent on the waSherwoman a
he is now. 1t was SO cheap that ii
could be thrown away whenever it be-
came slightly soilcd. Why, when paper
goods were the style, man could buy
pair of paper cuffs and collar and q
''dickey" of the same material, and be
fixed up good enough for ball OF we'd

any amount of uncleaniness, however.
The paper collar was invented by Wal.
ter Hunt about forty years ago, and
was first made us smooth and glossy as
bristol board. Then they were finally
merged into the present style of linen.
The celluioid collars and cuffs have
never caught on well. They are worn
considerably by itinerant book agents,

have never become popular. You car

A Corporation With a Soul.

In circular dated May /. 1880, the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
announce that, on the petition of
number of its employees, after very
thorough examination and study of be-
nevolent railway organizations in Great
Britain, France, and Germany, having
full appreciation of the advantage
which experience has uniformly shown
may be enjoyed by the employers and
employees of railroad and other large
corporations where benevolent relief
societies have been put into operation,
it thereby inaugurated an Employees
Relief Association, which was subse-
quently incorporated by special act of
the Legislature of Maryland, June 3,
1882.
The Baltimore and Ohio board of d.
rectors, by a resolution guaranteeing
the absolute fulfillment of all the prom
ises and provisions of the constitution
of the association, made the following
announcement:
ITO give further force and effect to
this plan, and IS an earnest of its solci-
tude for their comfort and welfare, the
company has contributed $4,000 as
the nucleus of a fund from which its
employees car derive pecuniary relief
in event of becoming incapacitated for
earning their livelihood, or by means
of which, in the event of death, they
may leave some provision for their
families, upon condition that they will
second its endeavor to promote their
welfare by making such contributions
to the fund as will secure its perma-
nency and effectiveness.
1.-The company will also, without
expense to the fund, give the services
of its staff in conducting the clerical
and other business necessary to it's
proper management; office-room for
its records, ETC.; and, whenever it is
necessary or desirable to employ fe-
males or children for such work as
they are qualified to perform, prefer
ence will be given to the widows,
wives, sisters and children of its faith
full contributing employees over other
| applicants in the order above named.
cit will also make arrangements by
| which the children of those contribut-
| ing to the fund, under sixteen years of
| age, shall travel free when going to or
| returning from school, over all its lines
| Tor distances under ten miles, and will
| give half-fare transportation to con-
| tributors, their wives and children
| travelling over our lines.
| also, having learned of the pecuni-
airy necessity of persons formerly in
its service, and being anxious and So
licitOus that its present and future en-
| ployes, although escaping accidents
md sickness while in the discharge of
duty, shall not find themselves with
out means of support whenever,
through approaching old age or the
| contraction of intirmities. they become
unable to perform the services assigned
them to earn livelihood in other pur-
| suits, it has added to the indemnity

Intel.i9cat Pickets.


One of the most efficient divisions in
the Army of the Potomac, as organized
by Gen. Mcclellan in the fall of 1861,
was that commanded by Blenker, who
came at the head of the 1st German
rifles of New York, about eight hun
dred strong, and became the comman-
der of some twelve thousand men,
nearly all of them Germans. Like the
children of the captive Jews, who spoke
''half in Hebrew and half in the speech
of Ashdod," these Teuton warriors had
a vague idea of the English language,
and their style Of challenging" was
unique. AS l was going the grand
rounds with a lady and gentleman
from Boston we were ''passed" through
all the pickets on the Leesburg turn
pike on the presentation of free sea-
son ticket on railroad route, which
was first shown by accident instead of
the legitimate pass from headquarters,
and afterward to test the knowledge OF
the sentries, Yah! dat ish goot-
forvart!'' was the approving verdict
after each ostensible careful examina-
ton of the card. ben: Perley Foore.

William Lloyd Garrison.

From Thomas Wentworth Higgin-
sons introduction to the illustrated pa
pers on Garrison's origin and early
life, by his sons, in the August Century,
we quote the following: 1.-The career of
Mr.. Garrison contributed an important
fact to elucidate the very philosophy of
all reform; because it showed the con-
trolling force OF the moral sentiment,
apart from all the other social factors
with which it is usually found in COM
bination. Strength of the moral nature
was his one great and overwhelming
contribution to the enterprise with
which his whole life was identified We
can see now, ii looking LacE, that re
essential force OF the anti-siavery agita-
lion lay in the extreme simplicity OF its
propositions. Never was there re-
for|a, pcr!aps, in which the essential
principle was SO easy to grasp. 1t
needed no large induction, no difficult
chain of differences. Once concede that
man cannot rightfuiiy cain property
in man, and the whole logic of the mat
ter was settled. The thing needed was
that this doctrine should fad living en-

principle as a sufficient test Of all poll
cies and regulations, who should refuse
to be led away from it into any ques-
tons of casuistry or expediency; who
should, in short, have q moral nature
as clear and controlling as the doctrine
he espoused. This man it found in

noon Waldo and | were going out to
hoe corn. As we walked over the sod
breaking a bicwsuake ran right in front
of us. Waldo had his hoe on his
shoulder, and just let it drop careless
like on Mr.. Snake and cut him in two,
pretty near the middle. The head end
ran down the furrow fifty yards very
rapidly, and disappeared. we hunted
twenty minutes for it and couldn't find
his snakeship. When we returned liz
the evening said: Lets look at our
snakes tail and see if IT'S dead yet;
they say it won't die till shutdown. y"
We went there and found the head
part had crawled up to the tail and
died there, too weak TO walk off with
its own tail.
