that they saw him bearing arms. The evil

The attitude Of Poundmaker before
the court was in bright contrast with
that Of Riel. There was no crinpine
cowerdice or assumed INSANITY. He
faced his enemies like a man of true
courage and like one counscious of
his rectitude. When asked if he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be pronounced. the proud chief
tain asserted his manhood in words of
touching eloquence, and, with a sar-
casm that must have withered his
prosecutors, told them that he was
their prisoner because he had chosen
to surrender himself, and they now
had the power to do with him as they
pleased. Poundmaker's splendid bear
ing will enlist the sympathies of the
civilized world in his behalf. His ap.
peal to be shot or hung rather than
to be sujected to the humiliation of
convict life evinced the manly nature
of the savage halfbreed. To imprison
him in the penitentiary after that ap
peal would be an everlasting disgrace
to the Dominion government. and
would elevate the half-breed chief to
the place of heroic martyrdom.

The Phantom Ship.

We touch Lifes shore as swimmers from a
wreck
Who shudder at tho cheerless land they
reach.
And find their comrades gathered on the
beach
Watching fading sail, a small white speck
The phantom ship, upon whose ample deck
There seemed awhile homeward place for
each.
The crowd still wiring their hands and still
beseech,
But see, it fades, in spite of prayer and beck.
Let those who hope for brighter shores no
more
Not mourn, but turning inland bravely seek
What hidden wealth redeems the shapeless
shore.
The strong must build stout cabins for the
weak;
Must plant and stint; must sow and reap and
store;
For grain takes root though all seems bare
and bleak.

The Latest Folly.

BLEEDING is becoming fashionable

appearance. For instance. ii q young
man has been rejected by the lady who
has upset his reason he can play upon
her sympathies by having himself bled.
The loss of blood would make him pale
and interesting. and he could lounge
around home for few days and send
out q report that he was dying of a
broken heart. His paleness would show
that something was the matter with
him. and it might excite the lady's
sympathy. il she had that element in
her icy fashionable composition. The
fnce could not be powdered or painted
so as to represent illness. The ladies
understand that artifice too we'll; and
great many are adopting the bleed.
ing process. 1t is not that they wish
to convey the impression that they are
dying by inches from grief. They don't
do that now. But occasional bleeding
makes them pale. and their pretty
faces are more easily colored in consc-
quence. With white background, or
rather face, the face is colored without
the preliminary trouble Of washing It
with white compound before colorina.

German Life.

Zone is what one eats" says our
German brother. Whether this be true
or not, he takes pride in his own dishes.
and regards foreign cookery with sus-
picion, if not with contempt. The Ger
man deems our sweet breakfasts and
melting pastry the mere offshoot of an
inferior civilization. A German of Gull
ture, remarking upon his experience in
the United States, said he had partak-
en- of our first-class fare in hotels and
steamers, and yet belonged for the
salads and soups, the oils and onions,
which alone could 60 to the right spot.
AS fitting preparation to a forenoon's
work let US begin with the breakfast.
The name of this meal is no polite SUBJ
terfuge for the generous warm break
fast, with buckwheat cakes, but it is
literal, denoting coffee, with two
wheaton rolls. These rolls are sold in
the bread stalls, and they are delight
full as far as they go. but it requires
long practice to school ones self into
working until noon after such a break
fast. He soon sees through it, though,
when he learns that it is customary to
take second breakfast. which, from
its chief element, is called soup. This
is eaten in restaurant, at the place of
business, or at home, according to con-
venience, and usually at about ten
o'clock. Coffee is had Immediately af-
ter rising, and is served in your room.
Most people include coffee when they
engage rooms. Dinner occurs between
twelve and two. There is never any
hurry about dinner. The guests at the
hotels sit at the table from one to two
hours, seldom less than an hour and q
half All dinners begin with soup. AZ
ter the last course, which is some inno-
cent jelly, or cake, or ice, cigars are
lighted. and you then see how sociable
and animated German can be. With
the exception of minute preparatory
roll, white bread does not appear at
| dinner. In the restaurants brown or
rye bread goes with the dinner The
.:black bread" as it is called. is the
great staple food of the peasants, who
can afford very little meat, and, in fact.
it is prominent part of city fare. 1t
comes in loavcs of several sizes, the
largest being gigantic. Every day you
see wagon loads of them passing from
house to house or out to the villages.
/ No German housewife is ever troubled
with the setting and baking of bread.
It would cause hard times for the peas
ant if the rye crop should fail. The
supper hour is from seven to eight;
however, it occurs oftcner at about
eight than at seven. There is no regu-
lar supper-table or supper-hour at the
hotels; their dining-rooms are oil
changed into restaurants and the guests
eat when and what they will according
to the bill of fare. In the family the
evening meal corresponds very nearly
to our tea. During the summer the
custom is to sup in . public or private
garden and to make an evening Of il

2 1t is breach of confidence for
member or an officer of the Senate to
disclose the transactions of 4 secret ses-
sion, until the removal of the injunc-
ton of secrecy by formal resolution of
that body. Still. newspaper cores
pondents generally mana ge to find them
out, in some way. SO we'll known was
their accomplishment in this direction,
that senators would oftentimes go to
the reporters for information as to what
had been done in secret session, instead
of the reporters to the senator's! Once,
a senator, going to the Senate rather
late in the afternoon, met "a correspond
ent coming from the Capitol. The law
maker asked what was being done in
the Senate. "Oh, nothing important"
was the answer. ''They have just gone
out of executive session and are now
discussing the subject they had up yes
terday." The senator was evidently
interested in some nomination or other
business, and SO he persisted and asked
the correspondent what action had been
taken in executive session. The news
paper man coolly eyed the senator for
few moments, and then cautiously re-
marked: ''Mell, you Congressman are
