GOOD ADVICE,

The following is most excellent
advice. We find it going the rounds
of our exchanges:
"Keep still. When trouble is brew

getting on its legs, keep still. When
your feelings are hurt, keep still, till
you recover from your excitement, at
any rate. Things look different
through an unagitated eye. In a
commotion once l wrote letter, and
sent it, and wished had not. In my
later years l had another commotion,

SHAFT SINKING.

ing Process.

How 1t Is Accomplished By the Freez.
ing Process.
The Poetsch- Sooysmith Freezing
Company Of New York has just CON-
plcted the first shaft sinking by the
process in America. This
process consists in placing series OF
vertical pipes in a circle about the
space to be excavated. These pipes
are closed at the bottom, and a cold
brine is circulated through them,
which soon freezes the surrounding
earth, and so changes it in character
that it becomes like solid rock,
through which the excavation may be
conducted without the great diff
culties which have thus far frequently
made the sinking of shafts in running
sand extremely difficult. This first
success was a shaft sunk through
quicksand for the Chaplin Mining
Company at Iron Mountain, Mich.
1t was about Is feet square and 10O
feet deep to the ledge. The adopt
ion of this process in the United
States will make possible the open
ing of many mines in localities where
quicksands or streams of water have
thus far proved insurmountable OBJ
stacles.

EX0RBITANT VALUATION.

The Commissioners of Logan
county are doing their utmost to
mako a showing OF taxable property
within. their municipality, and hope
to have an assessment roll that will
foot up $2,to0,oo0. This, if Oh.
tanned by fair valuation, could not
be otherwise than gratifying. But,
unfortunately, in order to attain that
high amount it will be necessary to
Cypress many poor taxpayers who
cannot afford to pay the taxes levied
upon their small holdings. An in
stance Of this kind is cited which, the
TIMEs is assured, is only a sample Of
what Is being done. Mr.. McTag9art
a homesteader on Soldier creek, and
a brother of Ransillar McTaggart
has been assessed in this way. His
wagon, which only cost $l05 a yea'
ago, has been assessed at $l25. I'm
provements which, year ago, were
valued at 800 for assessment pur
poses,-are now valued at 5000 By
the Logan county assessor. And 81
on.
In this way it is not difficult t.
make showing; but it is very op
pressive to the taxpayers. 1t woul'
be that at any time; but it is especi
ally so during a grasshopper year.

Didn't Like the Milk.

A London Bishop had gone down into the country to visit charitable institution. into which poor lads had been drafted from the east end of Lon don, and in addressing them he con- graduated thom upon the delights of their new residence. The boys looked unaecountably gloomy and downcast and the Bishop kindly asked:

 At last the leader raised his hand.

 Why, what on earth do you meanp The milk here is tenfold better than you ever had in London"

WILD YOUNG eRlTONS.
\ Man Refuge For the Fast Sons oi
 Nobility.


 There is one of the strangest farms in the world up here in Manitoba It's principal crop is an annual growth of young Englishmen, sons of wealthy parents, who have interrupted the boys in their diligeHt work of sowing a thick and early crop of wild oats, and have sent them out to the colony to have their moral and physical health built up and little industry and use- ful knowledge instiIled into them at the same time The owners of the farm. two brothers. charge the boys for their board and instruct them in farming for nothing, but the work they manage to get out of the young fellows is worth a good deal moro than the time spent in teaching them, though occasionally a horse is foun- dered or a piece of farm machinery broken.
 It is remarkable, though. how these young sprigs of nobility, many of them, take to the hard work of the farm. They have true British grit about them. and the managers have sense enough to have the drudgery and dirty work done by hired men. The boys ride the horse rakes, drive the moving machines. learn to run thresher, blow, etc. and all of them take kindly to the care of livestock. the horses especially, though d pro- pensity 10 race the latter at every op- portunity has to be guarded against. The instincts of gentlemen do not seem to desert them either, for they will never sit down to eat in the clothes they have worked in and they refuse to t with the farm hands who bring the smell of stables to the table. Bathing. shaving and dressing for the evening take up good deal of their time-indeed, waste it" real farmers would say-but the boys insist on it. They also cling to their cigarettes. Many of them get to like the life. so that they stay longer than their pa rents insist on, but nearly all return gladly when the term of their banish- ment is over.

DANCING 4 HOE-DOWN.
How Edwin Tooth Played the Banjo For
 Ills Father and Edwin Forrest.


 Ills Father and Edwin Forrest. plays Bertie in the "Henrietta' so cleverly. and has got an equally great success in the "Arrant Knave," is an inimitable story teller, and frequently is in the mood to indulge his propen- sity to the limit. The other night he quietly sat himself down after the per- formance with few friends to enjoy an hour or two of social intercourse after the play. Stories and lively badinage was the result.
 "Who would thinl1,n said he, that Edwin Booth was good banjo player. and that he fingered the strings when young man for his father and Edwin Forrest to dance? He told me the story himself and it runs in this way: He used to travel with his father, play small parts and look after the great actors wardrobe. Edwin was very fond Of picking the banjo and his father was very fond of listening to it. One night he was sitting in his room strumming away while his father sat listening. The elder Booth was al ways a little shy Of Elwin Forrest, and would not for the world have had the great tragedian sec him in any thing but q dignifiel mood. But he was nicely caught on one occasion. Edwin was playing the banjo and his father Was enjoying it, when knock came to the door.
 "sCome in. said the elder Booth. rather grufily, waen the door opened and in strode Edwin Forrest.
 :How are you, Junius@ said he to the father. How are you Ed?' said ho to the son
 "The father arose, shook hands with Mir. Forrest. and at the same time motioned Edwin with his hand to put the banjo away.
 '''No, no said Mir. Forrest, no. no T like to hear it.
 Both resumed their seets.
 "'Can you play "O.d Zip Coon?"' said he to Edwin.
 The young Booth began playing the tune When it was finished Mr Forrest asked for half dozen familiar plantation melodies, and Edwin played them. Finally he struck the air of an old Virginia e-down. The cider Booth began keeping time with his foot, and so did Mr Forrest. Very soon the feet of both the great trage- dians began to move in q halfway shuffle, and finally, as the full spirit of the music caught them, both began to dance the familiar steps which tho music provoked.
 "The harder Edwin played tho more vigorous the steps of the two trage- dians, and the frolie continued until all were tired. IN. I. Mail and Ex- press.

REMARKABLE PROBITY.
Daughters Tender Tribute of Respect
 to Her Fathers Memory.

In February. 1881, Patrick Hogan, shoe manufacturer, Of Newark. N. J failed. His liabilities were $52, 497. 68; his assets. estimated at what they would bring in cash, were but $14, 900. His daughter, Elizabeth E. Hogan, |. who was forcwoman of the factory and had claim for wages. took charge of the establishment. The debtor offered and the creditors accepted 20 per cent in full for their claims, and Hogan was freed from debt Miss Hogan conducted the business in her own name thereafter. She was prosperous. In 1887 she built a factory at a cost of $50, 000, $10. 900 of which she borrowed on mortgage.
 Her father, Patrick Hogan, and two of her brothers Gone adopted) were associated with her. It had always been the desire of Mir Hogan to pay his indebtedness in full, notwithstand- ing he was not bound to do so legally. He died very suddenly on the Sd of March, 1889, Of pneumonia, and it was his dying injunction that his debts should be paid; he left no will. He held life insurance policy for $l5, GOO. His daughter and his two sons inn mediately set about paying up tho old debts. and have already discharged them in full, expending for that pur- pose s42. 002. B. There were fifty-one creditors, The largest sum originally due was to Barclay X Co, $l3, 719.59; the next largest was to J. II. X T. W. Dawson, $5,390 0l; and &, 020 62 to tho estate Of W. w Gilman. The other debts ranged from $2. 300 to 800 A great many notes were in the hands of third parties. Handsomely engraved receipts have been prepared. and when they are signed they will be bound in book form and kept as a family memorial.
 What tribute of respect to a fathers memory could be more tender and beau tiful than this? Miss Hogan and her brothers have set an example of probity to all people who have had the good fortune to emerge from advcrsity into prosperity. Housewife.
