ANNEXATION OF CANADA.
The Disastrous Attempt to Accomplish II
by Enrce-A EnnouA Retreat.

The Disastrous Attempt to Accomplish 1t
by Force-A Famous Retreat.
Tho present agitation concerning tho re-
lations between Canada and the United
States recalls the time when tho annexa-
ton OF that country was proposed to be
brought about by force Of arms. The prof.
ect was entrusted to the brave General
Montgomery, assis led by the famous patri-
OTIS, Coonels Etl Allen and Seth Warner.
While engaged ais invasion Ethan Allen
was taken pris ler by the British and sent
to England, where he experienced very
harsh treatment.
1t was Colonel Warner who twice con-
Quoted his men safely home, though the
march was constantly surrounded by dan
gers. Once Montgomery sent them home
because their time was out, and though
they were willing 10 continue In service,
they wero without sufficient clothing, and
mono could DC had in that country.
Colonel Warner had hardly arrived homo
before he hes I'd that Montgomery had been
killed, and the cause, as well as the lives of
the men, were put in great jeopardy. He
| collected his lIlcn again and nt once started
| for Canada to assist his ccuntrymen in their
extremity. But his efforts were of no avail,
and it was soon found necessary to take up
| the line of retreat.
|
cessity sanctioned moving the troops. The
terror Of pursuit and tho rigcr of the sea.
son furnished sufficient cause for alarm and
haste. Colonel Warner remained with the
rear Of the army, and aided them in many
ways most effectually, as he was man
| well posted in caring for the sick and this
| knowledge now came into excellent use.
He must keep the army in motion. not @
| day must be lost, and yet he was without
any chest of medicines. But he understood
| the medicinal use of roots and herbs and OF
proper care at critical times, and with these
allies, he made an effectual fight against
disease among his men.
When Ticonderoga was reached and the
roll called, thanks to Seth Warner but few
vacancies in the ranks appeared.
Col. Warner saved the lives of hundreds
of men in this way, and he did noble
work, but it remained for his namesake, Il
H. Warner, head OF Warmers Safe Cure

SHELTER FOR COWS.
Why Dalrymen Should Give tho Great
Attention to Stables.

Attention to stables.
In the winter it is necessary to con-
fino COWS much in warm shelters and
even in summer. especially when soil.
ing is the practice, the cows will be in
their shelter not little. The success.
ful dairyman will give the greatest at
tention to stables. In fact, the success
of the dairyman, while by no means
altogether due to it, is usually measured
by his study of sheltcring and the wis.,
dom and care he shows in the building
and care Of COW stables.
The first point is ventilation. With
out it, foul air will soon collect in the
stables-air fouled by the matters from
the lungs and cutaneous glands of the
animals, but by the exhalations, not
altogether avoidable. from their excre-
ment This foul air will so poison
animals, so reduce their thrift. and
therefore their production, and favor
the appearance of disease to such an
extent that this alone would justify the
necessary means of ventilation. But
the dairyman. more than the beef
grower. loses by foul air in the stables.
It seems necessary to milk in the
stables; at least, it is very inconvenient
and occasions an expense of labor not
to do so; and the foul gases in the
stable will begin the contamination of
the milk rs soon as it leaves the udder.
The absorptive power of milk is almost
surprising, and If exposed for only a
short time to the matters that must
exist in an unventilated shelter, the
best butter can not be made from it.
The loss to the dairyman is generally
more than he imagines.
If the dairyman also rears his own
cows there is further reason for ven-
tilation. The COW confined in foul shell
ter can not drop aviGorous, thrifty calf
For the same reason that he has an
unusual interest in ventilation, the
dairyman has an unusual interest in
light in the COW stable. Light is as
essential to the health and thrift OF
COWS. as it is to the health and thrift OF
nearly every one Of the higher animals.
But, besides this, sunlight is an impor-
tant agent in purifying the stable.
Filth and foul gases breedin darkness;
sunlight is their foe. The more light
admitted into the stable the less
dampness and contamination. And
why should thcre not be an abundance
of light where glass is cheap and can
be projected by few barsp Ihave no
excuse for basement stables so situated
or put SO far down in tho earth that
they can not be we'll lighted; and l am
free to say tfat think majority OF
the basement stables are of decidedly
doubtful economy. In the management
OF dairy cattle the handling of their ex.
crement is matter Of Importance, and
is intimately connected with their stab
ling. We can not afford to waste this
excrempnt-Mirror and Farmer.

Never undertake to study at night.
Never permit your children to study

can not fool Nature or put her in a

this object the food supplied must be

lit seems that many of the patrons
of cheese factories in Canada make a
gross yearly earning of only thirty

off such profits. This is done in a cold

THE ARCTIC REGIONS.
AstonishinG Skill Possessed by the Nativ
Of tile FrIgld Zone.

A8vOulBuuuS Sktll fOAR6B00O Dy tn0 NATIVES
OF tile Frigid Zone.
The natives of the frigid zone know.
too, how to set effective traps for deer,
wolves and other animals without the
aid of wood OF white mems implements.
A deer trap, for instance. is made by
digging u hole in the deep snow and
covering it with snow blocks held in
position by resting upon each other.
For bait little lines of salted water are
led to the center of the covering of the
pit, and following up one of these the
unsuspecting animal falls in aud be-
comes an easy prey to the hunter.
A wolf-trap is made by coiling into
as small space as possible slender
strips of whalebone about foot in
length, and tying them with thread
imbedded in q small chunk of meat
and thrown upon the snow. where it is
subsequently found by the wolf and
bolted without chewing. In little
while the frozen meat thaws, the sinew
is wet and slips the loosely made knots,
the whalebone straightens and pierces
the stomach and intestines, and the
animal dies in torture. In winter the
northern native knows how to find the
"blow-hole'' in the ice fields, where II
seal comes up to get fresh supply of
air for his lungs. This "blow-hole" is
very different in reality from that
which is usually pictured in the illus
trated stories of Arctic travel
Generally they are represented as
irregular openings in the ice from two
to six feet in diameter. The fact is,
one unfamiliar with the habits and
haunts OF these marine mammals would
pass directly over Elow-hole in winter
or spring and not see it, rs it is not
usually more than from half an inch to
an inch in diameter ut the surface of
the ice. The native seal-hunters are
greatly assisted in these searches by
their dogs, whose keen noses scent the
odor of seal meat and guide their mas
ters to places ON the right and left OF
the line of search that would otherwise
have escaped the notice of even these
keen-eyed hunters. When found. the
location is marked for future refer
ence, and at some subsequent time.
when meat is scarce in the snow-hut
that shelters the hunters household,
he repairs. with snow knife and spear.

turn Of the. seal. Sometimes these
vigils are prolonged not for hours only.
but for days, at a sitting.
In the spring, when the seal comes
out upon the Ice to bask and doze in the
warm sunlight, the hunter approaches
him by lying down and advancing
cautiously, at the same time initiating
the motions Of u seal, keeping his feet
and legs, which he crosses ut the
ankle. close together, SO that they mucl,
resemble the headquarters Of q seal.
Indeed, when at distance. have fre-
quently found it difficult to tell which
was the seal and which the man. It is
the early training Of the northern
savages that has taught them to do all
this skillfully. - COsnsopolit0n.

One reason among bachelors for not

equable and certain happiness in life,

It is little they know of the way in
