FREDERICK DE PEYsTER. minutes a turbid
torrent some ten feet deep, and in two or
three hours rises nearly to the top of thirty
five foot wharf
Standing on the lower wharf, just before
the Bore" comes in, one is led to conclude
that water is somewhat necessary to make a
river-that is, in every part of the country
except Nevada-for although this is called
the Petitcodiac river there is very little water.
You look across mud fat, acl oss the green
point beyond it and across the river again
below that, for the stream bends there like
U, and all at once the cry is heard, Here
she comesl"
You see across the point the white crest Of
the Bore" and the next minute it comes
sweeping around the bend, a nearly upright
column of water, perhaps six feet high, dash
ing madly up stream, and soon covering the
mud fiat with a turbid torrent. The philoso-
ply of it is that the high tide in the Bay Of
Fundy naturally concentrates its force as the
bay narrows, and so the water Is shot" into
the inlets as if from the nozzle of hydraulic
engine.

Cotton Seed.

The cotton oil trust could not keep
from the public that it had come short
in its expected profits million dollars
this year. 1t was also obliged to admit
that it must be resolved into cotton
seed company instead of cotton seed
trust, in order that the managers might
pump some of the water out" OF the
concern. This naturally disguised those
who had bought their stock with the
water in 1t.
Twenty years ago the last thing to
make a trust out of would have been
cotton seed oil. Forty years ago cotton
seed was drug and nuisance to the
planter, who abused it up and down. 1t
was burned as garbage, and ways were
devised to get rid of it.
At length it was thought of as ferti-
lizer. Happy thought! The very thing!
Next some genius thought of feeding it to
cattle Happier idea still. 1t was full
of oil, and made animals sleek and fat.
May be the oil in it was good for some
thing. Another brilliant thought. The
oil was found to be valuable for many
purposes.
A ton Of cotton seed was soon valued
at 81. 1t contained thirty-fve gallons
of oil, which, after it was refined, brought
a dollar a gallon. There was another
miracle. The cotton seed bulls were
found better food for animals than the
whole seed had been, while as fertilizer
and fuel they were unsurpassed. Final
ly, to complete the story of nuisance,
the ashes of the hulls make first class
potash, and the refuse of the oil is manu-
featured into an excellent soap.

fore taking the train, that Prince Edwards
Island was discovered by Sebastian Cabot on
the 24th of June, 1897, and therefore named
by him the Island of st. John; that it con-
tinued to be so called until islands of st. John
became confusingly numerous in her British
maiesty's dominions, and therefore, in 1899,
as compliment to Edward, duke Of Kent,
father of her present majesty, it was re-
christened; that it was first a mere fishing
station, then military depot, and then a
crown colony, according to the advancing
grades of provincial dignity in the British
system; that it reached the stage of separate
government in 1869, and vas officially organ

Patterson took his seat as first governor; that

When Joe Jefferson Was a Boy.

The door from our back entry opened
upon the stage, and as toddling little
chap in short frock l was allowed full
run of the place" says Joseph Jefferson
in The Century Magazine.
The description the famous actor gives
of his early days is one Of the most
charming bits of autobiography that have
appeared in many day. His father
and grandfather before him were actors,
comedians, his grandfather being dis
tinguished one. The present Joseph is
third of the name. His mother was an
actress, and highly accomplished one.
So that, if anything ever came naturally
to any one, dramatic art came thus to
jefferson.
He was on the stage to play baby parts
when he was in long clothes. The stage
to which he says the back entry opened
was in Washington, in little old frame
theatre. That theatre was the first house
the boy remembers. His father was the
stage manager. All the boys aspira-
tions, his tasks and his plays were of the
theatre. He says of himself: 81 was
one of those restless, peevish children,
who, no matter what they had, always
wanted something else.
His early days were spent i'll rough
and tumble fight with poverty. such
barn storming as he and his mother and
father knew, the actors OF today have
little idea Of Once the whole family
travelled by steerage passage from Mep'-
phi5 to New Orleans. His father was Il
sunny, hopeful soul, who was always
Just going to strike it rich. That they
never did was certainly not the fault OF
this CHEEKY, brave nature. Mr.. Jetter,
son is to be added to the long list Of IA
NOUS individuals who passed through
uncommon hardships in youth.
In 1888 the jefferson family, still hop
ing for better times, went from New
York to Chicago. The part of the jour
uey from Albany to Buffalo was made
in a canal boat, the Test of it by steam
boat around the lakes. The JetferSons
and other actors who We're travelling the
same route gave theatrical entertain
EtntS to pay their passage.

Interesting Variations IL Perceptive Power.
An interesting fact well known to physiolo-
gists is that of intermittence in the intensity
of some sensations. Thus, the tick of
watch withdrawn gradually from the ear be-
gins to be heard, by turns, distinctly and in
distinctly, then times of silence alternate
with the sound. NJ. Couetoux, in The Revue
Scientifque calls attention to an analogous
experience he has had in the case OF vision.
Looking at distant windmill, with four
vanes, he could not make up his mind whether
it was in slow motion Qike nearer one) for,
of the three vanes projected against the sky,
he saw now one, now another; but the inter
naittent degradation of the sensorial impress
sion prevented his observing two successive
positions.

United States first acquired full control Of the

1878, when it surrendered its nominal indie
pendence and its ''sovereignty" was merged
in that OF tho Dominion Of Canada.
And if were writing a political essay, l
might very appropriately add that the ideas
Of this smallest of the Canadian provinces
bear a curious family likeness to those Of
Rhode Island the smallest Of the United
States, which was the most strenuous Of the
colonies in assert ting its separate sovereignty,
and the last of the thirteen to accept the con-
stitution, and which held on to its old Eng
lish charter long after England herself had
outgrown the ideas of the times which gave
that charter being. And as the moral of my

Gladstone urges British workingmen
to study the story of the American revo-
luton. The seeds of American liberty
were carried from England in the begin
ming. Now in return England reaps adj
vantages from the American vindication
of the principles of liberty. Meantime
it would not be half bad plan for
American workingmen to study the his
tory of their own country and find out
the true principles of the foundation of
