In the Dominion,

The roof of William Bell & Co. g organ
factory at Guelph, Ont, one of the largest
buildings in that city, was blown off while
the hands were at work, and several Of them
were injured but not fatally.
The high water has washed away the
bridge on the Southeastern railway at Bridg-
ham, Que, and trains have been obliged to
run over the Central Vermont road to Water
loo, thence to Sutton Junction. Passengers
going from Farnham to Brigham have to
travel 90 miles to get miles. A new bridge
will probably be built in a few days
The storm at Waterford, Ont, was terrific.
The snow in that locality is from two to
five feet deep. The large reaper and mower
mandatory was almost destroyed, being
partially unroofed, and the walls being blown

Steady industry is the only true path
to success, remarks the Cuhirator. The
plodding man generally wins in the long
run. There is no royal road to wealth
any more than to learning. A few men
are suddenly enriched by speculation or
inheritance, but such wealth is seldom
permanent. Among the spectators we
only hear of those who win prize; the
nine hundred and ninety who fail
of success never announce their failures.
Only the hard-earned money is secure
in the hands of its possessor. The
safe business man or farmer never
speculates.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Two Men Expire from Hunger and
Exposure,

A tale of tho sea that makes the blood
run cold comes from Louisburg, c. r.,
of the agonizing experiences Of four fisher
men, cast adrift in dory ON Western fishing
banks. Two OF them live TO narrate the
story, and two torn, mangled and emaciated
corpses bear witness OF the horrible truth.
Louisburg was thrown into wild state OF
excitement by the news that fishing dory,
with two liteleSs bodies and two halt dead
mon, had reached one of tho wharves,
Ready and willing hands grasped tho
small craft rs it touched tho shore, and
her living and dead freight We're quickly
passed to the beach. The two suryi-
vors, too much exhausted from exposure,
thirst and hunger to use their legs, had to DO
carried TO the nearest house, A CHASTITY sight
met the gaze Of the crowd that assembled
about the boat when, from beneath piece
of canvas covering them in tho stern of tho
boat, were brought to light the remains of
James Mcdonald and Angus Mcdonald. The
former were in a frightfully mutlated con-
dition. The right arm was missing from tho
elbow, the throat was cut and hacked in
sickening manner and two great pieces OF
flesh had been chopped with knife from
each thigh. In the bottom of the boat, in n
pool of blood, which washed to and fro with
the motion Of the waves, lay three large
pieces of human flesh that had been bitten
and partially masticeted and then spitten out.
The spectacle was of nature witnessed
but once in life time, and the feel
ings of those looking on were so
wrought with horror that the strongest in
tho crowd turned away, unable to stand
il longer. An old American soldier, who had
passed through the whole civil war, said tho
scene was the most narrowing he had ever
witnessed. The two half-perished survivors
of the terrible experience are Colin Chisholm
of Harbor au Bouche N. s., and Angus Nc
Eachern of Long Point, Strait of Canso, N,
S. When found at the boarding house to
which the pair had been removed, Colin
CHISHOLM was stretched on a sofa looking
pale and emacated, apparently suffering
much agony from his awful ordeal, and with
his feet which had been greatly swollen,
enveloped in bandages The two dead men
both belonged in the maritime provinces,
James Mcdonald being native of East
Point, p. E, l., and Angus of Broad Cove, G.

A Farmer Strung Up.

Medicine township, about 90 miles north Of
Chillicothe, Mo-, is excited over a recent at
tempted lynching. Two years ago Andrew
Behrendt leased three farms in the township
and went to Arkansas. Recently he learned
that his property was being badly managed,
and he returned. Finding such to be the
case he began suits against the destroyers of
his properly. Last Saturday Behrendt's
house was surrounded by 40 masked men,
who forced an entrance, and, placing a rope
around Behrendts neck, strung him up, but
let him off with warning to leave the county
within 10 days. Behrendt's went to Chilli
cothe Mo-, and on his complaint warrants
have been issued for eight or ten members Of

ON THE GROUND OF MERIT.
An Old Rule v inch Makes Things
Lively for Department Clerks.

Lively for Department Clerks.
The fact that very few dismissals were
made from the government departments in
Washington during the first year of the new
administration led many incompetent clerks
to suppose that they were safe, and so they
lapsed into comparative indifference Scarce
La day goes by now that several dismissals
are not made. The following rule, which, it
is claimed, was entirely disregarded under
Republican administrations, has been revised,
and is being strictly enforced; THE report
of deficient and delinquent clerks, required
by the 18th section of the act of Aug. 26,
1912, will be made monthly, as required by
said act, and in all cases where clerks having
higher salaries are less efficient than those
having less salaries that fact shall be reported,
that the salaries may be arranged on the
ground of merit only These reports are
placed before the head of the department,
and in them he is supposed to base his action.
Amy person who Is dropped has very poor
chance of ever being put back again.
