The Japan Herald gives some figures
to show how the Canadian Pacific
steamer line has cut out the San Fran
cisco lines, and it attributes this in a
great measure to the trouble given to
shippers by the necessity of consular
certificates, which Canada does not re-
quire. 1t is not due to any difference
in rates of freight, "as rates have all
along ruled pretty much alike" In
the season of 18S7-SS, up to the middle
of December, the shipments to Canada
by San Francisco steamers were 1885,
172 pounds, while the Canadian line
carried 3,773, 921 pounds. This season
up to the same date, the shipments via
San Francisco have been only 735, 265
pounds, while 5,35s, 9H pounds have
been sent via Vancouver.

6 o'clock, as the employees of the Care
st. Lazare were examining as usual
the railway carriages of the train that
had left Havre at 10 o'clock the pre-
vious evening, they found in the COM
partment of q second-class carriage q
man gagged and bound hand and foot
with cords. They carried the man to
the Commissary of Police. He was
unbound and ungagged. He told his
story as follows: 1 got into the train at

It is almost impossible to keep the

wind seem to extract every particle of
warmth, and there is danger of freezing

All business is suspended, and the

no use searching for the lost ones; no
one knows in what direction they are,
or if they did, it would be impossible
to reach them. Cries for help are in

by conductor. His right leg was cut
off. The boy has recovered $4,000 in
damages, the case having been taken
to the Supreme Court, and by it sent
back to the Court of Common Pleas.
Said the Judge to the jury which

IF you find that there has been neg
ligence on the part of the defendant,
the plaintiff is entitled to damages. In
determining what damages to give
you must regulate it on the theory of

be entitled to compensation for the

loss of his earning capacity from the
time he would reach the age age of 81

HIS HANDS WERE WHITE
BY ABBIE C. M'KEEvER.

Grandfather Ross was in passion.
Grandfather Ross was in the habit of
getting in passion, but this time his
fury was unbounded, and all because
his pretty granddaughter had fallen in
love with poor young lawyer and
promised to be his wife.
"You shameless huzzy!" he cried,
stamping up and down the veranda
and almost walking without the aid of
his cane, as he swung it to and fro
viciously. what do you mean by
such conduct-such utter and-and
preposterous stubbornness? How dare
you tell me you intend to marry that
poverty-stricken, white handed fortune
hunter?"
Grandfather, he is not fortune
hunter, and you must not call him
such!"
"He's lazy villain, who has lain in
wait for just such dainty morsel as
yourself Marie-and your half of my
fine lands. Do you think don't know
the secret of his devotion, and you are
Just silly enough to marry him for all
that"

is everything q girl could desire, and

"There! there! don't Charlie him

I'll will all my property to John be-
fore the sun sets, and well see what
Mr.. Charles Knight will say to that.
The curtains at the parlor window
trembled little, ali unperceived by
Marie or her grandfather; but soon
with soft footsteps q dark-eyed, and
just now dark browed young man, with
a triumphant look upon his face,
emerged from the back porch and
made his way to the stables.

And driving around in the carriage
he called out pleasantly:

"Yes," said the old man in an irritat-
ed, angry voice, Il do; I might as well
go at once and have it over with.
He permitted John to help him into

They are wrong. A cyclone is q re-
volving storm of great magnitude; the
so-called cyclone of the Western States
being . tornado which revolves in =
small compass. The wind may blow
a gale and snow fall to the depth of six
feet and yet not make blizzard.
A blizzard means something as near
~ as possible like the sand-storm of the
desert, with pulverized ice in place of
sand, and a very low temperature
never above zero in genuine blizzard.
A tremendous wind prevails, filing
the air with needle-points of ice, which
cut and sting like miniature arrows
wherever they strike. This is the storm
which benumbs, bewilders and de-
stroys.
During the prevalence of blizzard

years, to be then broken up only on
account of their poor sailing qualities

wood, in fact, is one of the most re-
markable employed in human indus
tries on the score of its great weight,
hardness, and durability, its weight
varying from some forty-two to fifty
two pounds per cubic foot It works
easily, but because of the large guam
tity of slick contained: in it the tools
employed in its manipulation are in q
short time worn away. It, however,
possesses the advantage of containing
an oil which prevents the spikes and
other iron work with which it NAV

difference between this and the East

used for shipbuilding, is notable. The
latter, which is really the most yalu-
able timber produced in that country,
is light and easily worked, strong,
durable, not liable to the attacks of IN
