TWO KNOWING ANIMALS.

Tales of a Thoughtful Cat and 3 Real Mean Old
Crow.
Several years ago We had cat that we
all thought great deal of, but she was a
lit more reserved in the bestowal Of
her aft ctions. She seemed not ID care
for any one very much, except my oldest
daughter and myself, and if man or boy
came into the house she would leave
imm ediately. The summer that I speak
of she had three young kittens. When
they were about weeks old
was sitting in the cook-room one day,
when I noticed the cat coming in and
thought something was the matter with
her, but did not get up TO see. She went
and laid down under the stove, but was
uneasy and kept moving aud looking out
toward US. / forgot to mention that one
or two men were also in the house, but
pretty soon they went out, when she went
directly to her kittens, took one and
carried it TO my daughter, who exclaimed:
"What is the matter with pussy y" Before
l had time to look she had brought an
other to me, and as she laid it down she
looked at me, end, making most pitlful
noise, stretched out and died, and we
found upon looking that she had been cut
nearly in two. She had waited until the
men left the room, as she was afraid of
them, and then had looked out for the
welfare of her offspring the best she
knew how, by bringing them TO those she
loved, and the look on her face was as
earnest an appeal as human counte
nance could have expressed.
One of the children had, year age
this summer, tame crow which showed
a great deal of shrewdness, or sense, OF
reason, whichever You choose TO call If
They kept him out in the orchard near an
old lounge that was placed under the
trees, and there was just room enough
for his little BODY TO get under it. When
they first had him out there the hens
would get nearly all his food, and he, be-
ing afraid of them, would hop off under
the lounge and seold away at them; but
after day or two wo,ld begin just as
soon as his food was brought to him, &c
carry it down under the lounge.
He would not stop TO eat mouthfu'
until he had got 1T all well out of reach
and then when the hens came around he
would sit there and take mouthful and
then chuckle and chatter and seem to
enjoy his meals all the better because the
hens had 10 stand round and look at him
but couldn't get any of 1t.

MIGHTY SOLITUDES.
Intelligence From Party Exploring The
Great Canadian Northwest.

William Ogilvie, who has been engage
by the Dominion government since 1887
in ex ploring extreme northwestern Cana
da, has arrived at Edmonton via Lacla-
biche and Victoria. The route pursued
by the party was from the Pacific coast
Chilkat inlet by steamer, over the Taing
pass to Lake Lyndeman, on the Lewis
river, the main branch of Yukon, and
down the liver in canoes to the interna
tional boundary line.
1t has always been supposed that the
Lewis was the main stream of the Yokon,
but the Hootilengas, which joins the
Lewis from the east about 200 miles
from the coast. is the main stream pro
per. The party went into camp on the
Yukon near the international boundary
in the latter part of Septem Der. The
greatest cold was in February, when the
thermometer registered 81 degrees below
zero. Camp Yves struck on March 4,
when thsy descended the Yukon thirty
five miles to the head waters of the Por-
cupine river-arother O fthe main branch
es of the Yukon. This pass is 1920 feet
above sea level. The Porcuslne was
descended twenty miles, when, on April
10, camp was made until the ice broke in
the sprlns, which was, on May Is.
The average depth of the snow during
the winter ives about three feet. The
Porcupine was descended to it's confiu-
eDce with Bells river, coming in from the
east. This was ascended tn pass in the
Rockies about eight and half miles
long, with nothing to prevent a railroad
being built through it, From the
east end of the pass a small mountain
stream was followed to it's junction with
Peel river flowing into the Mackenzie.
On this stream coal of good quality aud
an abundant crop of abestes were seen.
The distance from, the foot of the Rock
les to where they enter the Peel was
seventeen miles in a straight line. The
total distance travelled from the Yukon at
the boundary to Peel river was 318 miles,
crossing two mountain ranges.
McConnells geological survey party
was met at the Peel. The ascent of the
Mack eIzie was begun june 81, and the
survey continued until it combined at
Chippewa Yam with the survey of the
Peace and Athabasba rivers, made by
Ogilvle in 1885, distance Of AHA miles.
The only real obstacle to navigation in
this distance was the rapids at Fort
Smith.
Wheat and barley are grown every sum-
mer at Fort Providence, in north lattl-
tude 81 degrees. A sample of wheat
grown there was brought out and m axes
good -four. Mining is carried on on the
Yukon and tributaries, and pays daring
three months of the year. Forty Mile
creek, he scene of tbs gold excitement
OF 1887, unites with the Yukon about
forty one miles from she boundary, and
% miles from this creek is Canada.

A Railroad Train In Forest Fire.

Ihe train, iesseping its speed, was soon
Obliged TO creep cautiously between banks
of Tose-red embers or solid cords of roar
ing wood-the wood which had been
cut and piled for commerce. The pine
branches on the Fl at-car iyDited, driving
the brass band ipto an enclosed carriage
for shelter. Men with buckets dropped
Il bitches beside the track and dipped up
water to throw on the train, creeping on
the platforms again with scorched cIothe S
and hands and faces bliStered.
One who has never been in forest fire
can scarcely imagine its intense heat, the
acr1d bllnd1Dg smoke, the suddepness
with which trees flash from root to crown,

the earth itself were buring, the furnace

baked ground.

The doors and windows bad been

the wooden sides of the Enclosure warp.
When the doomed ain had hung &

one opened door and shouted that it

relish the dish appears from the saving:
Next to the date the locust is the sveetes
morsel." The Koran prohibits the flesh
of animals not born, but the Mohsmme.
dan doctors of law, as become wise and
dutiful guardians of their fiocks, decided
that locu,ts were not flesh, and that the
common people might eat them, while
the men in holy orders should deny them
