The Soudan Raven.

In the Soudan the respect for the
"Bird of the Shade" is unbounded; he
is endearingIy known to the Arabs as
their "UncIe." and they are more ex-
brilliant in exacting blood money for
his chance slaughter by the hand of
the stranger than if it were really the
relative in question: Shoot their dove,
their ostrich, their varied scavengers
Of the vultore kind, their once sacred
ibis even, and they grin and bear it;
but once aim bolt at the "Noah bird
and hundred lean but muscular brown
arms will be raised, and the bereaved,
white teethed relatives will gesticulate
and shout around you, while they ex-
plain how black hued was your acciden-
tai crime. Apart from this, the raven,
with his jetty plumage, will always be a
point of interest in the Soudan, from
the strong contrast he presents to the
ordinary "desert colored' birds which
preserve neutral tint of gray or fawn,
which renders them almost invisible.

The Wrong Boy.

A Sunday school teacher in a back
woods settlement had a new class of
young scholars, the parents of which had
neglected to give them any instructions
whatever in their catechism. Coming
to the first boy in the class she asked
him who made him He did not know.
She told him God, and urged him to
remember it. Of the next bow she
asked who was the oldest man. He did
not know, and the teacher told him
Methuselah. So she went on down the
class, asking each a question and giving
them the answer While she was thus
engaged the first boy went to the buck
et after some water. The teacher re-
turned to the head of the class, and not
knowing that one was absent, she asked
the first who made him. Without hest
tation the boy quickly replied, "Methus-
elah!" NO." exclaimed the teacher in
establishment, GOOD made your "No,
he didn't" persisted the urchin with
confidence; "the boy God made is after
water" The teacher gave up the class.

Cold Weather and Health.

There is no greater fallacy than the
opinion held by particularly the
young and strong, and vigorous-that
winter, especially a sharp, frosty one,
with plenty Of ice and snow, is the most
healthy season Of the year. Very few
persons seem to realize the facts, that
cold is the condition Of death, whilst
heat is that of life Ia warm as we'll as
in cold climates, it is our unconscious
effort to maintain our bodily heat at a
temperature of 50 dogs that wears US
out. To this temperature, called "blocd
heat" every cubic inch at oxygen that
serves to vitalize our blood must be
raised by our own bodily heat or life
ceases. Since in cold weather the
maintenance Of sufficiently elevated
bodily temperature becomes very often
difficulty too great for our strength,
the advent Of severe winter is quite
as much to be dreaded as the visitation
of pestience. Be~ides this, children
should not be sent out to walk of a
morning before breakfast in cold
wind, especially with an empty stom.
ach, as they get chilled, and it does the
system great deal Of barn. A like
rule should be observed in malarous
countries, that on no urgency should
children or grown up people 60 out in
the early morning without cup of tea,
coffee or chocolate taken beforehand.-

FOR LOCAL OPTION.
Gov. Luce, OF Michigan, Advocates the Pas
sage of a New Law.

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 3.-Gov. Luce
was inaugurated at 2 o'clock this after
noon. A considerable portion Of the
Governor annual address was devoted
to the temperance question. Upon this
subject he said in part: believing that
the sentiment of large portion of the
state is ripe and ready forit, commend
to your consideration the passage Of a
local option law, if one can be devised
free from constitutional objections. If
our constitution prohibits us from secur-
ing an efficient law for localities, it does
not prohibit a general prohihitory law,
and if we are denied other opportuni-
ties no doubt in the future this course
will be resorted TO"
BosToN, Mass, Jan 3.-Gov. Ames
was this noon inaugurated before a
joint convention of the two houses of
the legislature. In his message he ad-
vises the early submission to the people
of a prohibition amendment and advo-
Gates the increase of the penalties for
violation of the liquor laws, He thinks
it would be wise to substitute imprison-
ment for fne in such cases.

How to Make Money and How
Not to Lose It,

Twenty eight Years in Wall Street, y
by Henry Clews, is attracting great
deal Of attention and having a wide
sale. All the leaders in the great
drama Of Speculation, during more than
three decades, are faithfully portrayed,
from Commodore Vanderbilt, Daniel
Drew, Jay Gould, William r. Travers,
and George j. Seney, down to that
Colossus Of egotism, who came with his
millions to shear, and remained on the
scene shorn-James r. Keene,
Henry Clews is said to be the most
successful and sagacious banker in the
world, and his success is due not alone
to his intelligence, but to conservatism
that seems as firmly planted in his
breast as his integrity. A member of
the New York Stock Exchange recently
said that Mr.. Clews' customers invaria-
bly, consult him in regard to the pur-
chase and sale of shares, and hence sell
dom lose, but are invariably on the win
ming side Of the market, whether it
goes up or down. Mr.. Cews is the
barometer of Wall Street, and the con-
troller of the largest marginal business
in. the world, and is backed by many
millions
"Twenty-eigh Years in Wall Street
is as entertaining as it is instructive,

Company, N. Y. City, and fer sale by

PUBLICATION
FROM THE POLICE

N consequence of the con-
tagious lung disease pre-
among the cattle in
East End of the Island,
The following is hereby pre-
,cribed
/. ALL the cattle on the Estates in
the East End of the Island are
until further under public con
troll.
g. When any of the cattle dies on
an Estate, a report thereof must
without delay be made
to the Police Office.
8. No living cattle must be carried
away from the Estate. Sale for
butchering of healthy looking
cattle is allowed, but the animal
must be killed on the Estate,
the skin must at once be taken
to the tanner and all offals from
the butchering must be buried
at least 4 feet below the earth
or be burnt.
4. Care must be taken, that the
cattle do not leave the Estate,
to which they belong, and pass
over to the neighbouring ones,
and that strange cattle do not
come on the Estate. Should
cattle from Estates not infected
be found on Estates, that are
declared to be infected-at pre-
sent "PetrOneIIa" and
Mount Washing,-
tOn"-they must not be de-
livered up again, without the
permission of the Policemaster.
5, Where diseased animals are
found, they must as far as posi-
BILE be kept separated from the
healthy ones.
8, The persons, who attend to the
sick cattle, or who assist in the
b%utchering, must not come into
contact with people from other
Estates. After the butchering,
all those, who have assisted
therein, must be carefully wash
ed and cleansed.
2. Owners of Estates are recon-
mended, as soon as an animal
appears to be sick, to have it
killed without delay, as the ami
NAL will only decrease in value
the longer it is allowed to re-
main.
