Pure IN Heart.

Almost every one appreciates the duty
of governing the tongue, although few
people dwell upon the necessity of con-
trolling the thoughts. Right speaking is
recognized duty, but right thinking is
too often classed among the impossible
ties of life.
ut may be wicked to feel so, but l
can't help my thoughts, apologetically
says some detractor.
The excuse is a generally accepted one,
but it has not sufficient foundation in
fact. Isolated thoughts cannot always
be controlled. They flash into the mind
like obstinate sprites, and the more one
fixes the attention upon them in disap-
prevail the more impossible does it be-
come to eXpel them.
1t is, however, within the limits of hui
man effort to control the tendency of the
thoughts. When a malicious or frivO-
lous member Of the tribe starts into
being they can be best combated, not by
out and out fighting. but by turning in
stantly to another class Of valuable and
interesting reflection.
The mind may be SO thoroughly disci-
pEned that its thoughts shall be drilled
battaliOns Of soldiers. They will doubt
less be always raw troops, not marching
according to strict military rule, and not
III all cases sure to obey upon the mo-
ment, but they will steadily improve with
practice, conforming themselves more
and more to the true and the good.
Psychologists have a great deal to say
about the force of habit. Dispose the
brain toward a certain line of thought
and it will keep it with increasing steadi-
ness, for purely physical reasons. It has
its automatic action, as the fingers have
theirs, when they 50 accustom them
selves to seeking the keys of the piano
that they find them without the aid of
the eyes.
The discipline of the thoughts contrib
utes to the intellectual as well as moral
development. There are in all lives I'M
occupied intervals of time, when one is
riding to and from his place of business,
or taking his constitutional, :" for eX-
ample. He cannot read or study to adj
vantage at such moments, but instead of
letting the mind drift whittier it will, he
can fix it upon the last poem he has read
or upon some truth from an author Of

MeSsrS. T. 4. HOfTSchIaeSer ~ Co.'S New
Premises.

Yesterday a representative of the
ADVERTISER was afforded an opportunity
of making a thorough inspection of the
commodious premises, having frontages
| to King and Bethel streets, lately erected
| for the old established firm of Messrs.
Ed. Hoffschlaeger & Co. The want of
more room has for some time past been
| felt by them, and the confidence with
| which the firm has uniformly inspired
it's clients has been the means of so far
extending it's business connections that
latterly this need had become imperative.
The new building could scarcely have
been better adapted to the requirements.
Constructed of brick, the outer walls
being eighteen inches in thickness, it
has handsome frontages, both of similar
designs, of iron and glass. That on
King street has width of SO feet and a
depth of rs feet, whilst the Bethel street
frontage, of necessity at right angles to
the other, is 80 feet wide and so feet
Deep taking the measurement to the
further extremity of the other width
The area of the premises, therefore, is
in form that of a double rectangle. The
corner lots being occupied by other
firms. The ground floor is devoted to
the principal show rooms and the office
miscellaneous goods, some of which are
in bulk, consume the space on the upper
floor, which is of similar dimensions.
Both are as spacious, light and airy as
they could possibly be and communicate
by an easy staircase. A large attic af-
fords additional storage room, as also
does an extensive cellar, which has the
merit of being we'll lighted from the
street front and perfectly dry. A ready
means of transit between the cellar and
both floors is obtained by patent ell
evator, Situated near the King street
entrance. The premises throughout are
replete with every convenience and form
striking addition to the architecture of
this city. They stand on freehold pro-
perty of the firm (who also own the adj
joining vacant lot on King street with a
57-feet frontage); they were built by Mr..
E. B. Thomas, contractor, from designs
prepared by Mr.. J. A. Palmer.
The nature of Messrs. Ed. Hoffschlaeger
& Co.'s business is well known. 1t is
confined within no special limits, but
embraces almost every article for which
a wholesale market exists in these ISL
ands. Their importations are principally
derived from England, Germany, France
and the United States They are also
agents for the North British and Mercan-
tile Insurance Company of London.

Shooting into a snow Bank.

Col. Whites experiments on the re-
sistance offered by bank of snow to a
rife bullet, which were made at Ottawa,
were most interesting. 1t was found that
the Martini bullets fired into a bank of
well packed snow were completely spent
after traversiEg a distance of not more
than four feet. Snider bullets, in hard
packed snow mixed with ice, but not
hard enough to prevent digging into it
with a sheet iron shovel, did not pene-
trate more than about four feet: in per-
fectly dry snow, packed by natural drift,
but capable of being easily crushed in the
hand, bullet penetrated about four feet,
and in loose drifted, dry snow less than
seven feet, though fired from points only
twenty-nine or thirty yards distant

The Persian Antelope.

The Persian antelope seems to be a
duplicate of his distinguished American
relative in a general all round sense; he
is, if anything, even more nimble footed
than the spring heeled habitue of the
west, possesses the same characteristic
jerky jump, and hoists the same con-
spicuous white signal of retreat. He is
decidedly simmer built quadruped, how
ever, than the American antelope; the
body is Of the same square build, but is
sadly lacking in plumpness, and he seems
to be an altogether lankier and less well
favored animal For this constitutional
difference he is probably indebted to the
barren and inhospitable character Of the
country over which he roams, as com
pared with the splendid feeding grounds
of the far west. The Persians sometimes
hunt the antelope on horseback, with
falcons and greyhounds; the falcons are
taught to fly in advance and attack the
fleeing antelope about the head, and SO
confuse them and retard their progress
in the interest of the pursuing hounds
and hOrsemen.- Outing.
