Thousands of Labr ador Fishermen starv-
ing to Death.
HALIFAX, N. s., September 12.-Alfred 2.
Morrine, member of the Newfoundland leg
allure for Bona Vista, now here, says the
Labrador fisheries are an entire failure. At
their best they afford buta bare subsistence.
Tho 5000 inhabitants of the Labrador
coast subsist entirely by fishing, and $1,000
people 60 from Newfoundland to Labrador
for fish every year. This year they have not
caught enough to pay the cost of Transports
ton and supplies.
At least q, 900 more people are dependent
upon the success of the above mentioned
5000. This makes q total of 5000 people
dependent upon the government for subsist-
ence during the fall and winter. These people
Q scattered over 1900 miles of coast, rem
dering it exceedingly difficult if not impos-
eible to get to them with relief steamers
during the winter, and unless immediate
steps are taken to relieve them starvation
is inevitable.
Besides the above shere are 100000 more
SsnI sSd the SsS
ON the former and $4,000 on the latter. The
total failure Of the shore fishery this year
renders rocco persons destitute-only TO-
600 of thoee depending upon them being
prepared to stand the loss Of years labor.
The people have barely enough for present
necessities and no means Of earning dol
lar. The only relief to this picture il the
fact that the potato crop-the only crop
raised on the island-ls turning out we'll,
and will yield alb out q peck per head Of pop
ulation.
Morrine says this seems highly colored in
view Of recent fabrications OF starvation
stories about the Labrador Esquimaux, but
il is the plain English Of ectual facts and
consequences.

THE MAINE ELECrroN.

The Largest Republican Majority Of Any
Year, Except Presidential Years, In FIJI
teen Years-An the Republlcan Com
Eressmen Returned.
AUGUSTA, Me, September 13-The repub-
licans have carried every congressional dis
the legislature, thus securing the senate,
and county officers probably in fourteen of
the sixteen counties of the state. The re-
publican plurality in this city is the largest
ever known. Out of this aggregate the
third party vote will not exceed $500, far
less than was expected by leaders of the
movement.
portland, Me, September 13.-One hum
plurality of 7,O7s, again st 10, 705 at the last
elections loss of 1852.
BANGOR, Me-, September 13.-For con-
gress, Boutelle, republican, has 1903, and
Lynch, democrat, 1,S73. Boutelle's plurality
is 435. Tue republican representatives and
the entire county ticket are elected.
BATH, ME-, September Sagadahoc coun-
ty gave Bodwell about 100 plurality and
Second district, about 1900.
LEWISTON. Me, September 13.-Returns
from large number of towns in the Sec
ond district show that Dingley, republican,
has been re- elected to congress, over Garce-
Ion, democrat. Dingley runs ahead of the
republican ticket, and Garcelon far behind.
LEWISTON, NE, September 13.-The re-
publican candidates for senator's. Messrs.
Hill and Sleeper, and for county officers, are
elected. The republicans have elected all of
the eleven representatives to the legislature.
AUGUSTA, September 13.-The republican
plurality this year in the towns reported is
1852, against IL, 430 in 1884, being a loss of
1863. A similar loss ia the towns yet to be
heard from will give an aggregate vote of
~, 600, divided as follows: Republicans g.,
800; democrat, 81, 200; prohibition, $500.
The labor ticket had no gubernatorial candi-
date nor congressional candidate in the
Fourth district. But few figures of the con-
greesionai vote are in. The labor vote will
probably not be known until the official fig
ures come in. All four republican congress
men are re- elected by handsome majorities.
The legislature will stand probably, twenty
eight republican senators to three democrats
against complete republican senate in 1884
The democrats will gain in the house in
equal proportion, but the republicans will
have handsome majority.

thrown in pailful Of water, and one or
two swallows given two or three times
between morning and noon, or noon and
night, it will stimulate them to renewed
exertions and keep them fresh all day.
This sort Of stimulation has no bad after
effects, as does that which men often
take in the harvests. The work of bar
vesting with self binders is now as severe
for teams as cutting grain was in the
old times for men when done by hand
labor, and it is time when grain feed
for horses has been mostly used up.
With the labor thus thrown on the teams
they need proportionate good care.
The Teras Stockman while express
ing its belief that neither cattle or sheep
will ever be 80 high in Texas as they
have been, declares it's conviction that
in less than three years the live stock
interests of that state will be upon
more satisfactory basis than evsr. The
Breeders Gazette thinks this reasonable
prediction, since Texas has much more
to gain by the adoption of much better
methods and the breeding of better
stock than she can possibly loose through
any failing of or obstruction in the
northwestern markets. All that Texas
need do is to produce cattle suitable for
the worlds market instead of for the
wild ranges.

EARTHQUAKES are caused by the shift

A Girls Schooldays Over.
Cassell's Family Magazine.

CasselPs Family Magazine.
"What am to do after school?"
This is a question asked, l believe,
by every schoolgirl, some time or
other as she gets older; and to answer
it is by no means so easy as some peo-
pie imagine.
The leaving Of school is, / think,
one of the great crisis of a girls life.
The period ended has probably had
all clearly mapped out with guidance
and direction given. The future is
now full of vague and shadowy I'M
certainty, the beauty and complete
ness of a woman's life will depend
mainly on the girls own exertions.
Every girl has three distinct lives
to live, and on the observance, combi-
nation, and due proportion of these
lives depends the goods she may leave
behind her in the world. They are:
l. Her life to herself.
2. Her life to her family.
3. Her life to the community.
1t is certain, to begin with, that in
each of these three there must be
some settled plan of action.
That girl who lives from day to day
in idle, desultory manner, with NO
aim in view but amusement, makes
her life, instead of a great, harmoni-
Gus whole, a miserable failure-the
life which has been given to her as
very precious, and as something to be
rendered strict account of in a day to
come.
The first kind of life is too much
too solemn thing for any one tC
NEEDLE with. 1t is that inner spiritu.
al life which exists in every person.
whether remembered or not. About
this l would only ask that girls would

What Shall We Do With Our Boys.

The Printing Press.
A correspondent asks to what trade
we would recommend him to appren-
tice his son. Our answer is to none.
In the old days, when men went on
foot and in stage-coaches, it would do
to grind out few years in the mani
fold drudgery of an imposed task, but
in these days of quick communication
the news of the day at almost every
hour, and the opportunity for boys to
see and know what's going on around
them a thousand fold better than
their fathers did twenty years ago
we say emphatically, give the boy a
voice in the matter. Let him look
and choose. If he has a mania for
robbing birds nests and littering up
his room with them, put him in the
way of becoming a naturalist. If he
is forever experimenting and whit
Ting, and trying to do something
which he cannot do for lack of means,
let him visit machine shops, of vari-
Gus kinds. If he wants to know how
a thing can happen at midnight, and
pictures of the event and surround
ings be given to $4,000, 600 of people
7 o'clock in the morning, let him
visit well organized printing office
A few doses of this kind of stimulant
will show what path Of life the young
man will be likely to travel with the
best success. By all means, give him
the opportunity to select, and, when
he has made his choice, encourage
him in his efforts, and do not GRIND
him down to service apprenticeship
in which he takes no interest, anC
where nine-tenths of his time is spen
in making money for his master
without benefit to himself.

A Few Words to Mothers.

Housekeeper
There is one thing about training
children have never seen treated in
any paper, and it is certain species
of spelling which hope is not COM
mon. When a child comes home from
school and tells you of his mates
making fun of his speech, actions and
clothes, do not soothingly say, "Well
l would not care, they are only jeal-
Gus because you are so much smarter
than they or because they can't have
such things too" Do not offer any
such sympathy, but kindly inquire
into the case, and if you find out that
it is ugly, overbearing manners that

Secondly, there is the life to the
family. The guidance of this does
not lie altogether in the power of
girl; she has probably a reconized
position in the household from her
age and capability; but whatever it
may be, chief or least, one principle
should guide all else-the spirit of
self-sacrifce.
1t is the third life, however, about
which I want particularly to say
word. What can a girl do to help
the communityi in some way?
Teaching, at present, is the great
est and noblest profession open to wo-
men. If that is entered upon direct
from school, there is little fear of life
being wasted in an idle desultory
way. To many a girl, teaching, 1
know, seems dreadful drudgery; but
then with it there comes, sooner or
later, the satisfaction of having been
a laborer in the grandest work of all
life-the spreading of knowledge.
Teaching, however, is not for every
girl. With some, circumstances do
not require it, and social position does
nota admit oft. To such / would say
do not give it up altogether; if you
can not make profession of it, you
can, at least, teach the poor of your
neighborhood in the Sunday school,
etc. Let not this branch of the work
be dispised, for it is one of the most
difficult, and TODD it properly requires
much preparation. Then there is
parish work of other kinds-such as
district visiting-all of which, if en-.
gagged in, keeps a girls life from be,
ing failure.
Lastly, supposing none of these
works are possible to girl, there is
always, when good classical literature
is is cheap, the possibility of forming
a regular plan of study at home
downright earnest reading for Ger
tain space of each day. However
small this is, if it is done with a def,
mite aim in view, and not merely fol
selfish enjoyment, great good will
come into girls life from it. There
is always natural bent in every ones
mind-a natural genius for one kline
ofwork more than for others; let s
girl, then, not try to do little O
everything, but work steadily at tina
