STARVED TO DEATH.
Two Thousand Five Hundred People Perish on
the Labrador Coast.

1No 1HOuSdHu rive hundred People HerlSh on
the Labrador Coast.
ST. JOHNS, n. F., July 31.-The schoon-
er Barrett has put up here, bringing the
latest news from the Labrador coast. For
nearly two weeks she was blockaded in
York Harbor, forty miles east of North
east river, by field of ice. She brings
five families who had reached that point
from Sandwich Bay, over 100 miles inland,
in sledges drawn by ponies, on which they
subsisted after their arrival. York Har-
Dor is crowded with fUgatives, but these
came from the southern coast and knew
nothing of their southern neighbors. On
July Is two days snow-storm buried
Eassern Labrador, cutting off all COM
munications with its population of l5.
900 persons. The snow has closed all the
trails. The relief vessels will now 90 di-
rect to New York Bay to relieve first the
sufferers there.
A White Bay dispatch states that whal-
ers report that Hudson Bay Strait is again
frozen over, which is an unprecedented
occurrence at this season. The report
that the temperature is ten degrees
below zero is, however, denied. It
has not gone any lower than ten degrees
above.
The cold results from immense masses
of arctic ice along the coast, and does
not extend over 200 miles from the sea.
Up to date $40 survivors have arrived here.
The number that have died is estimated
at $500 Since Saturday an east wind has
blown off the banks, increasing the firm
ness of the coast ice.

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN.
Care of Animals in Summer.

The American Humane Association pre-
sents the following suggestions relative
to the care of animals during the heated
term:
Provide water-fresh, pure water
Think how you are refreshed by drink
of cool water on hot day. The lower
animals are equally in need of the means
of quenching thirst. The actiye dog re-
quires drink frequently during hot days
as does also the cat, and dish OF fresh
water should stand where they can have
access to it. Undoubtedly many dog is
! driven to madness through lack of water
and the testimony is that hydrophobia is
almost unknown in those localities where
dogs can drink when they wish.
Every city, village and country town
should be literally supplied with drink
ING fountains for animals, and they should
be so constructed that even the smallest
dogs can drink from them. No gift to q
people confers a greater pleasure than q
Fountain, and that person who turns aside
stream from the field and gives water
ing trough to the roadside, at which man
and beast can drink pure water, is truly a
public benefactor. Give the horse fire.
Quent opportunity to quench thirst at all
times when not too much Over-heated, and
before eating. To drink freely immedi.
ately after eating prevents favorable di-
gestion of food.
Provide shade. How instinctiveIy we
seek the shade when the sun is pouring its
hot rays on the dry and parching earth.
If the pasture is not provided with shade
trees, in a convenient locality set four,
six or eight supports, across which place
straw or grass, and thus in brief time
and with little labor, make a shade in
which animals can rest from the heat of
the sun, to the great comfort of them
selves and to the benefit of their owners.
Remove the harness from the horses in
the hot day whenever you desire to give
them full, free rest, and once during the
day, preferable at night, thorough cur
rying and grooming will not only give rest,
but will do about as much towards i'm
proving the animals health as will the
oats.
Examine the harness on your working
team and you will discover that blinds,
check-reins and cruppers are simply tor
turing cOntrivances, serving no useful
purpose. Take them off for the conven-
fence of yourselves and the comfort of
the horses, keep the stable we'll ventilated
and free from the strong amonia, which
is injurious to the eyes. Assist the ami
mails to protect themselves from the
flies, feed regularly hitch in the shade,
and remember that the cares which will
give comfort to the lower animals will
make them doubly profitable to their own
ers, aside from the humane bearing upon
the subject

NOT GLAD, NOR SAD.
MAC, ,ILLAN's MAGAZINE.

You sang little sorg to-day,
1t was not sad, it was not gay,
The very theme was nigh out-worn;
Two lovers met, as lovers may,
They had not mtt-Since yesterday
They must not meet again-till morn!
And did they meet again, my dear?-
Did morning come and find them here
To see each others eyes again?
Alas, on that you are not clear,
for hearts will shift as winds will yeer,
And love can veer like any vane!
All, no, think some sudden craze,
Some bitt' spite befell their days,
What was that plaintive minor for?
No more together lie their ways,
Remote, perhaps, the lovers rays,
Perhaps the lady comes no more!
So strange the numbers sob and swell;
No, there's no guessing what befell:
lie is the sweetest song you Sing
Not sad, and yeti can not tell
Not glad and yet-'tis very well
Like Love, like life, like anything!

A Persian Bride.
London Society


Although the bride was very young
having, at the most, seen sixteen sum-
mers' rouge alas! was no stranger even to
her pretty face. Her hair, which was Jet
black and very long, was plated into a
number of tiny tails, the ends of which
peeped forth from under the chagat OF
folded white linen she wore on her head.
Nothing can exceed the ugliness OR unbe-
comingness of this head-gear; It's merely
a square piece of muslin or cotton folded
COrnerwise and tightly fastened with a
pin or tiny brooch under the chin, with
two ends hanging down the back, and the
remaining two falling over the breast.
Over this again is worn the house veil,
which envelopes the whole figure; it is a
large square or rounded piece of muslin
or gray patterned chintz, and is not fast
ened on, but simply kept in its place by
the arms. Her voluminous skirt was of
white and pink striped satin, handsomely
trimmed with gold lace, and reached ONLY
half way to the knee; the legs were bare.
Often as many as twenty yards of silk Or
satin are employed for these skirts which
are gathered into band at the waist and
are wore over four or five petticoats very
much stuffened. The more a skirt stands
out the more fashiOna: lie it is. The bodice
is a loose sort of a jacket of silk or vel
vet trimmed with gold lace; the sleeves
are long, and terminated in pointed
cuff that turns back, reaching nearly to
the elbow. This is worn over a calico or
linen shirt, Although all dresses agree
in their leading features, and the fash
ions never change in the east as they do
in the west, yet they differ to great ex-
tent in detail, and afford a scope for
the peculiar taste and fancy of the

A Word for the Mole.

The mole is now chronicled as one of
the farmers friends. Rev. Mr.. Wood, in
lecture describing the nature and habits
of this industrious little animal, says that
the mole is a busrowea in the natural
pursuit of his vocation, devouring the
pupa of caterpillars and ground worms,
he is compelled to throw up those little
mounds of earth to which farmers so
strongly object because they look untidy.
Moles do not damage crops, because they
are strictly insectiyorous and carnivorous,
and utterly disdain cereals or roots. They
are really benefactors, because they sup
ply the farmer with a top-drcssing of
unexhausted earth. The learned lecturer
described the mole as anatomically formed
for burrowing, cylindrical and iointed
at the foremost end with muscular fore
arms and spade-like hands with long
claws like smart digging machines" He
has eyes, but very small ones, delicate
hearing, and a pre-eminent sense or
smell, upon which he chiefly depends for
procuring food. He will bite, scratch and
fight like a fiend, and always to the death
when pitted against another mole. The
mole is rather a friend to the farmer than
an enemy, as commonly voted.

ened. If she is too strong in principle,
too pure and elevated in tone thus to sink
down to one of tho pitable women of the
street, she may find herself in some cold
garrett, lonely, overworked, respondent
and miserable.
Better remain at home than risk the
failure which attends so many girls who
go to the city in search of high pay for
light work. 1t is the saddest of all ven
lures, forsaking country home for the
illusions and receptions of large town.

The Care of Lawns.

A farmers wife has given the following
hints for the improvement of dooryards
and lawns, with her idea as to where the
line of decoration should be drawn. Her
ideal is neat, tasty home, and nothing
tells so much the character of the people
in the home as the dOOryard. She would
have it neat first. She would not attempt
to have it filled up promiscuOusly with all
the shrubs and plants and bushes which
can be found. This soon grows into a
thicket, and there are incongruity and
want of harmony and order, which looks
as badly as no attempt to do anything.
1t is not we'll to attempt to do too much.
The tasteful place must be neat, and the
grass short and smooth. We cannot, on
the farm, afford to keep man to attend
to the cultivation of the flowers and
shrubs on the lawn. We must not over
tax the strength or the men or women, in
the work of caring for the yard and the
ornamental features. 1t should be for
recreation She advised a neat plot a
tidy walk, and relief of forest trees,
with few or no eYergreens. The flower
beds and bricks set on edge, and such ar
engagements that at best look well small
part of the year, and offensive most OF
the year, can we'll give place to neat, we'll
kept grass, that looks attractive every
day of the year. The flowers and roses
we must have, but in the side yard, and
limit them to our means. Too many gay
things in doorway are like too much
gaudy dress. 1t is not in the best taste.
The first and last thing necessary is neat
ness. Whatever is done should be we'll
done.

The-London World says: "Prlnce Bis

It is estimated that the wine crop of
California will reach 25,O00,O0O gallons,
an increase of 100000 over the crop of
1884.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1886-08-12

A few roses and honeysuckles in some
nook or corner can be made thing Of
beauty at little cost, the flower garden by
itself, and rose hedge to screen the front
from back yard, Or the ornamental from
the business quarters. She had no ad-
miration for great attempts at flower
beds and rockeries in conspicuous places
in the farmers dooryards. Neatness
and simplicity, and not attempt, are to
be aimed at in all the surroundings of
the farmer of limited means.
The lawn mower does not cost much,
and if the yard is not Uttered up with
too many things and the grass can be
cut often and kept as beautiful feature
at all times. The men however, want to
do everything with horses, and if the
lawn is large the horses can do the work
easily, and by little dressing up after
the horse mower the grass can be kept
very neat.

the paper alluded to "killed the
bank charter" and itself became so
debilitated by the output of such
prodigious energy, that it did not
long survive the operation. 1t is to
be hoped that the "killing of the
Opposition party" will not have a
similar disastrous effect on the
.AdyoniSer. Its friends had better
keep a careful watch.

We are glad to see the press OF the

sentiments of the people is outspoken

The CAPITAL expressed its views on
the subject 10 q subsequent issue and
oil of our exchanges have endorsed
our sentiments. The Easton Ledger
says:
I'VE have not seen the full text tf
Senator Hayes bill for the creation
Of a State board OF charities, but we
are opposed to it on general princi-

There are some things about the
celebrated star-route cases which we
suppose will never be fully under
stood. The other day one of these
cases was called at Little Rock, Ark,
the district attorney answered Not
ready" and the suit was tbereupon
dismissed. Ills little difficult to get
ct the meaning of this little piece of
dumb show. It s apparent either
that the government felt sure that it
had no case. or that it did not want
to try the case. or that the agents of
the Department of Justice need TO
have their zeal and industry quicken
ed. Which of these things is true,
the general public have an interest in
knowing. The general atmosphere
of cloudiness which has hung over the
proceedings against the star-routers
heretofore seems not to be dispelled
even Jet.
