The type-setter and the proof-reader

evolution from the case into editorial
life is as the evolution of 8 butterfly
from a chrysalis. There is nothing
marvellous about it. The true typo
will develop into the true editor if time
and opportunity serve. No careless or
incompetent printer have ever become
a competent editor. I have seen many

into an editorial room, and all but one

that a new era is dawning in jour-

aesthetic methods are to be applied tc

Jeweled Necklaces Such as Were offered
to the Queen Of SYRIA.
The growing fashion for amber orna-
ments is simple and inexpensive one,
and it appeals more strongly, perhaps,
to the brunette than to the blonde,
though it may be becomingly worn by
both. The opaque is seen to advan-
tage in dark hair, and the clear, cut
amter makes 81 brilliant ornament for
either light or dark hair. The ear
lest mention Of amber is in Honer's
"Odyssey," where, in the list of Jewels
offered by Ph@nician traders to the
Queen Of syria, is mentioned ''the gold
necklace hung with bits of amber"
Pliny says that a collar Of amber beads
worn by infants will protect them from
secret poison, witchcraft and soceries,
and remnant Of this superstition lin
gers at the present day, for who does
not know some child that wears such
collar as protection against Group
and sore-throat? Not only children
but grown persons wear such collars,

Amber formerly occupied place in the
pharmacopocia, but is there no longer.
With age the light straw color of
amber darkens to orange, with almost
a ruby tint. Strings OF beads long
enough to encircle the throat once vary
in price from so cents to $40, the latter
being of large uncut beads, very clear
ard perfect. A string Of finely cut
beads is So and 81, and ornaments for
the hair, mounted on horn pins and
combs, come at similar prices. Ear
rings and bracelets also come in cut
amber, and some of the latter are COM
posei of both the cut and Opaque, the
opaque being carved. The cutting and
polishing is done in Vienna and Berlin,
no process of polishing being known
here, so that wearers OF amber orna-
ments viii do well not to expose them
to any great heat, such as Russian
bath, which efectually destroys the
polish.-M. Y. Mail and Egpress.

While st Pembina in 1850 Mr.. Kilt
son established line of "Pembina
carts, = which were used to convey furs
from that country to Mendoza on the
Mississippi river and return with
goods, taking the place Of the voy-
ageurs who had previous to that time
transported these articles on their
backs in small packs. The shipment
OF furs was for some twenty years
made in those carts. The Pembina
cart was a two-wheeled concern made
entirely of wood and leather, without
q particle of iron, and would carry
about six hundred pounds. They cost
about fifteen dollars: and We're made
by Canadians. In this cart was
fastened an OK or Indian pony, geared
with broad straps of buffalo hide. One
driver could manage several of the
carts by simply guiding the leading OK,
the rest being tied TO the tail Of the
preceding cart. No grease WAS ever
used on the axles, and their creaking
was frightful and on still days could
be heard for miles. The drivers Of
these carts were swarthy, half or QUAR-
ter breeds, usually clad in suit of
coarse blue cloth, with a profusion Of
brass buttons and red sash around
their waists, into which were stuck a
couple OF bowie knives.
The distance from Pembina to Men
dota was about five hundred miles by
the trail of those days. The caravan
would generally start in June as soon
as there was grass enough for the cat
tie, and the down trip would consume
about forty days. At night the cara
van would be drawn up in circle and
the men Slept on the ground. Sentinels
were posted TO watch for Indians. The
men subsisted on game and dried meat.
Mr.. Kittson made many trips with
these trains, and while engaged with
him J. j. Hill, now president of the
Manitoba road, drove many of the
trains. He was engaged in the trade
for himself at one time and managed
his own line of carts. Mr.. Hill is a
very dark, swarthy man, and as ne
dressed in buckskin leggins and a blue
blouse, and wore mass of black hair
oil over his face, old settlers say it was
difficult to tell him from one Of his half
breed drivers.
In 1859 Mr.. Kittson was elected to
the Territorial Legislature from Penn
bina, and made the trip to St. Paul in
the middle of winter On snow sledges,
the only means of travel in those days.
He made the trip in sixteen days. His
cariole was drawn by three fine dogs,
harnessed tastef,llly, with iinglinlgg
bells, and driven tandem. They could
make a mile in $40 when put to their
best speed. They usually travelled thir-
ty or forty miles a day On q pound OF
pemmican. Mr.. Kittson was OF robust
health, and enjoyed the hardships of
those early days when he was laying
the foundation OF his great fortune.---
