Canon Farrar is authority for the
statement that Cruikshank, the
great artist, offered one hundred
pounds sterling tor proof of a vio-
lent crime committed by a total alb
stainer, and that the money is still
unclaimed, though the offer was
made many years ago. An Eng

similar way, advertised for proof
that money made in the liquor bus
mess has remained in the same
family through three generations
but has not received it.

IN Which Is Embodied Some Sound Sense
with Slight Sailing of Hunaor.
The letter of invit alton to your wedding
IS received and i forward my regrets and a
pickle castor A wedding is too serious
thing for an old man to go far out of his
way to witness. But l want to give some
advice where 1 feel it will do the most
good. First-class advice comes high and
three KS is my brand. Good advice is like
an apple of silver set in a two-dollar
chrome. You are going to get married.
And if you feel about it as you should, you
calculate you are going to marry an angel
And you want to keep on thinking this
way. But all the same, Henry, you are mis-
taken.
You are only going to marry good, SEN
sible girl, and there are folks worldly
enough to hold that a good sensible girl in
a seal-skin cap and Newmarket, will dis
count an angel all to nothing. But any way
it is live, healthy girl you are after and
not cherubim; your mother was of that
kind. She was ready for any emergency,
her sleeves rolled up and her head level
have seen her put an agent for a sewing
machine on the installment plan outside the
sacred precincts of home so abruptly that
he had presentiment that cyclone was
tampering with him. There was no dis
counting her She possessed that beauty
OF character that made her tackle a wash
tub as quick as church social if she came
face to face with the necessity, and she
made home the sweetest place in the world.
+ But it is your w .fe | want to speak of;
there are certain questions that fellows
mother ought never to figure in. You have
an idea, Henry, that you know this girl by
heart, but you don't. You have only begun
to be a little acquainted with her. Just
been introduced, as you might say Wait
until the wedding trip is over should your
souls crave such an imbecility-the we'd
ding fnery put away and the last dismal
chunk Of brides cake has entered upon an
existence Of putrefaction. About this time
you will begin to know each 9th r, and you
will discover that you have married WON
an instead of an angel, for which you ought
to be truly thankful.
And she will keep on believing that she
has married the only man worth marrying.
But the rest of US know. and you know,
that the woods are full of fellows in every
worthy as you. To you she will be
womanly woman. To her, you will be a
hero king. This will be the difference
between you. 1t is the way you are made.
And now it will be your business. Henry.

you are what you seem to her to be; that

the nail holes in the new gilt paper. Look

There will be times, a good many times,
when she will be broken up and discouraged,

cause. All that is left for you to do is to be
doubly kind and kiss her six times where
you kissed her only once before. There are,

things and give her full credit and more

still believe you married to an angel

Haunts of the Musk OK.

From the Montreal Gazette
The musk OK freouents the barren
lands east of the Mackenzie river, and
between that and. thu coast of the
Hudson bay and the Eratic sea. His
habits are to spend the summer In the
barren lands mentioned, and in the
winter he seeks shelter in the wooded
districts OF the Peace river and the
nelghborhood of Fort Good Hope. In
the month OF April he goes back to his
summer haunts. These animals are
not so numerous as, the cariboo, but
are found in about the same numbers
as the moose deer. The musk OK fre-
quents district farther north than
the favored feeding-g-ounds OF the
moose, and consequently the males OF
these animals seldom meet. IF they
did it is not improbable that there
would be a well-matched combat. A
large musk OK would weigh about fif-
teen hundred pounds. Their shape
more resembles a buffalo than the
moose, and they are killed by the In.
dams by stalking them. They are
shot principally for the rich robe that
they produce, as their flesh Is not con-
sldered desirable, on account OF its
musky taste. The horns of these ami
mails are curved like those Of a ram.
The following information has chief
~ been acquired from Murdoch Nc
l4eod, of Edmonton, who spent the
years 90, '63. and part Of '64 in the
Hudson Bay company service at
Fort Anderson. since abandoned, east

up the Anderson river from the Arctic
coast. In the summer of '63 he ac-
| companled an expedition undertaken
on behalf of the Smithsonian institu-
ton along the Arctic coast from the
mouth OF the Mackenzie to that OF
Coppermine river. In '65 he was at
Fort Laird. The musk OK is the chief
lnhabltant OF the barren grounds
which occupy the immense triangle
northeastward Of the Mackenzie basin
to the shores Of the Hudson's bay and
the Arctic ocean. The animal is very
similar to the buffalo in size and
shape, but the fur is finer and longer,
almost dragging the ground; the horns
are OF somewhat different shape; the
boss or hump over the shoulder is
nearly two feet high, and the flesh has
a disagreeable, muskv flavor, especial,
ly from December to February. The
Indians do not kill them for food I'M
less there is no deer. A bull which
Mr.. Mcleod helped to kill weighed
l,4o0 pounds dressed, and the robe
measured fifteen feet from nose to
rump. They are found generally in
| bands OF ten to forty. In summer
they range on the barren grounds, and
in winter come into the northern edge
OF the woods. They live on the moss
which covers the barren grounds and
are able to root it from under three
feet Of snow Some winters they are
scarcer than Others, but why is notex-

Australians First Settlers.

From the National Review.
The only object aimed at by the
British government IN settling Austria
LA was to get rid of the convicts. One
can scarcely believe even that it was
expected that the convicts should do
more than drag out a brief and miser-
able existence under the rigors OF, "a
rule designed rather to hasten than to
prolong their end. The arrangement
under which Gov. Phillip was dis
patched did not contain a single ele-
ment OF permanence. Not the least
startling part in connection with this
point is that OF the total number OF
l,O3O persons who landed from the
vessels OF the expedition, only 135
were women. The other '.live stock
consisted of 5 horses, II COWS, L bull,
and II sheep, while the expedition
was so badly provisloned that from
the very moment OF landing starva-
ton began to stare the settlers in the
face. TO redress the balance OF the
sexes, the British government, in
dispatch, OF which a copy may beseen
to this day in the record Office, au-
thorized the governor to send a trans
port to one OF the neighboring
Friendly islands and kidnap 200
native women as wives for
the unprovided males in the colony.
This gives good idea of the views
which the British government of that
day held as to the future ofAustralia,
But badly off as the settlers were at
the first, their condition speedily be-
came worse. One characteristic mis-
fortune and its sequel may be men
toned. To the distress OF the little
community, it was found one day
that the bull and four OF the cows
had escaped from the inclos-
ure. Search parties were sent out,
but in vain. Several years had passed
by, and then rumors reached the set
Element that a herd Of cattle had
been seen about forty miles in the in
terror. Again parties were sent out in
search, and to the Joy of the people
they found the lost cattle, now in
creased to several hundred The
place where the herd were grazing is
now called the Cow Pastures. This
story is enshrined in the most cher
ished traditions of the colony; it is
not for me to cast doubt on its au-
tnenticity. Here, then, was the ugly
duckling out OF which the swan of the
southern seas was to grow. Branded
from the first with the stain of con-
victism, settled by the scum OF the
criminal classes of England who
would seem to have been equipped
rather with the hope that they would
fail than that they would succeed; re-
garded by the home government as an
almost nninhabitable and altogether
useless country, save as q convenient
hole into which to throw human
refuse-Australia has risen to a com
manding height OF prosperity and in
fuence. thanks to her natural re-
sources, to the industry of the race
she has SO generously nurtured. but
mainly to the extraordinary genius,
energy. and forethought of an unbrok.
