upwards of $1100 or one half of the annual
revenue from wharfage. When looking at the
wharf as representing o value Of $3.50 we
find that the expense for machinery alone
represents Il rate of 43$ per cent on the capt.
tai. a pretty good revenue the proposed new
wharf might cost more, or it might cost less,
no detailed estimate is as vet to hand.
Deduct now IL per cent for repairs, we
would get about 33& per cent. 1t is rather
hqrd on the people of West End, that
after trying with great energy to keep
up the interest of the country and after
paying so much as now shown, they get
80 Wy little benefit, no. even a wharf safe of
er lingering produce placed on it, at the same
time as shippers have to work at great disad-
vantage particularly at such times when eeve-
raj vessels are discharging and loading. The
people of West End have certainly a right to
expect and to claim something better for what
they pay. But it is not only the benefit to
be derived from better wharf accommodation,
to which we must look we must also consider
that the present appliances have a very bad
appearance, especially in the eyes of strangers
visiting or calling at the port, and the poor
accommodation offered are made. the subject
of comment elsewhere. Moreover the amount
III question to provide somewhat better appli-
ances is but a trife after all, compared to the
expense which has OF late years been incurred
by many parties for importing machinery; IS
firm alone had expended from IS to 100000
dollars on improved machinery in the last
years. 1t could not be considered an extra
v2gant proposal which we now make. He
for his part believed in an economical, aG-
ministration, but he also believed that the
people have a right to expect a fair valuation
for their money expended. The people Of
West End are a hard working, enterprizing,
Industrious people, and they deserve some Cur
courageme.t afforded them, even though it be
only in this manner. In conclusion, then, he
would beg to recommend the proposal involv-
ed in his amendment for adoption by the hon
durable Council.
The Udiymon; Before proceeding further
in the discussions on the matter would beg to
say, that he had received a communication
from Government stating the Governors vie.ss
on the amendments. and His Exeellency had
requested him to have that communication
read up in the Council before proceeding to
the 2nd Discussion bat as that request was
not in order. he had given the word to the
honorable Member proposing the amendments
to afford him the opportunity to explain them
and he would now ask the Assistant to read
the Governments Communication.

AS to the crane no decision has been arrived

A crane for lifting weights up to 10 tons
can be had and put up for the balance Of the
amount $4,000 proposed in the Additional
Money Bill.
The heaviest piece Of machinery that a. yet
was ever landed at West End has scarcely had
a weight of more than 8 tons. and in Govern
ment's opinion the fact that in years to come
a heavier piece may possibly be imported does
not give a sufficient basis for the expediency
of now putting up a crane strong enough to
lift weights exceeding 10 tons, say up to 10
tons, the more so as the difficulties in the
everyday working of the crane increase, con-
siderahly with the size of the crane and a
larger crane necessarily takes up more room
than a smaller one.

can be placed strong enough to lift weights up

stylish Travelling CIoaks.

Most of the new travelling cloaks are
stylish, handsome garments. Others,
from their extreme delicacy of tint and
fabric, look as if designed merely for
novel show. Among the really useful
models exhibited lately were those of
reseda, dove-gray and marquise-brown
mohair, velvet-trimmed, with deep "
yokes of the same. Another model,
made Of very fine fawn-colored Bengal
inc, had princesse back and fronts in
straight circular form; and still another,
with. Newmarket back and Connemara
front was made of pale chestnut-colored
alpaca. A sort of trellis pattern in
shades of brown silk formed a delicate
woven stripe down the fronts, on the
collar and sleeves and edges of the
monks hood. This wrap, while stylish,
would certainly prove effective against
dust and cinders, and the color would
not show very quickly any clinging
marks of the same, as u thorough shal-
ing after long journey would quickly
remove every particle which had ad
hered to it.--N. Y. Evening Post.

A Task That Is Subject to n Thousand Com
tlngencles.
How often we see the effect of dress
made up of goods that are beautiful
both in texture and color, utterly ruined
by the lack of harmony in the blending
of colors. 1t is almost impossible to
form rule for the proper combination
of colors applicable to dress; for they
ore subject to thousand contingencies,
and we daily discover agreeable harmon
les of tint where we least expected
it, and excruciating discords produced
by the juxtaposition of tones. Ihe infu-
ence of some neighboring tint, the posi-
tion Of the colors combined, their rela-
tive stations and the materials adopted
for each, frequently tend to produce
these effects.
The color of single rosette often de-
stroys the general tone and appearance
of the dress, and occasionally it may be
managed with such skill as to blend the
tints of two or m6re principal parts of
the costume, which, without some medi-
ator, would render each other obnoxious
to the eye of taste. 1t is quite certain
that the same color which imparts o
liveliness and brilliancy when used for
light embellishments, and in small
quantity, becomes vulgar, snowy and
disagreeable if adopted for the most ex-
tensive portion and leading tint of the
attire; and, on the other hand, the deli
cate or neutral colors, which look we'll
when displayed over considerable sur
face, dwindle into insignificance If used

ELEVATOR SICKNESS.
How 1t May Be Avoided During Rapid

How 1t May BE Avoided During Rapid
Ascent or Descent.
A great many people are unable to
ride on elevator cars on account of the
feeling that their hearts and souls are
being pulled out of them when the ma
chine starts to drop. People with heart
affection are frequently forbidden by
their physicians to ride in the cars, and
it is disagreeable to thousands who ride,
in spite of it, to save time and legs in
the big buildings of the city.
A well-known lawyer, who has very
level head at most times, admits that
his head feels empty when the elevator
starts down, but claims to have discov-
cred very simple mechanical trick by
which he avoids the all-gone feeling
He is willing to have it suggested to his
fellow mortals anonymously.
81 take long breath" he said, 'just
as step on the elevator, and. hold it
with tight pressure. Then, just as
the elevator begins to sink, let it out
exactly with the motion of the car. The
quicker the car starts the quicker and
harder press out the air, and don't
feel as If my soul had flown out; in fact,
can avoid the least disagreeable SEN
sation."
Another gentleman who tried the ex-
pertinent vouched for the results in his
case. Don't imagine that you have to
blow SO that every body else in the car
can hear you," he said. "All you need
to do is to hold the breath tightly and
let it 60 noiselessly out the nose.

change of pressure of blood in the heart

the breathing organs offsets that press.

Lighting the Fire by Electricity

Electricity has stepped in mercifully
to alleviate the miseries of the early riser
on dark winter mornings An arrange
ment has been devised by which a con-
nection is made between the room clock
and the stove. TIE clock indicator is set
over night to any required hour, and
when the hour hand reaches that time
in the morning an electric connection is
established with the stove, which is then
lighted by an electric spark. The sleeper
in the mean time is not disturbed. As
the temperature of the room rises, how
ever, it is indicated by small thermo-
stat, and when it has reached point of
summerlike comfort an alarm is sounded.
The sleeper, of course, is awakened, but
the act of jumping out of bed has now
no terrors for him, and the morning
ablutions are performed without shud-
der.-New York Sun.

The Reporter and nailroad oaie,aI,.

The reporter that is sent forth to learn
the details of a railroad disaster is placed
in position which few men would care
to occupy, and that position is rendered
the more trying by the railroad officials
with whom his assignment brings him in
contact. In matters pertaining to their
business, the railroad men ef this coun-
try generally prove themselves to be
clearheaded and efficient beyond any set
Of men that can be mentioned. But
when-as in the case of the recent dis
aster on the Lake Shore road-they refuse
to give the reporters the facts of the case,
and when they set about to thwart the
efforts of the reporter in every possible
way, they do that which is not in keep
ing with their usual sound sense and
business ability.
Shut out from the truth, the reporter
will draw heavy drafts upon that unfail.
ing stock of Imagination which the aver.
age reporter possesses. He will do more;
turned with an empty note book from
the oficial-and often with gruff words
that antagonize his feelings and color
his report-he will find some employe,
and, by coaxing, or probably by argu-
ments clinched with bit of green paper,
get some kind of report of the affair.
The reporter is not to blame. His
bread and butter is at stake. He goes to
the fountain head for the knowledge lie
requires; if rebuffed he is obliged to go
to lower and muddy streams of informa-
ton. Neither he nor the paper that sent
him forth desires highly colored, exag
gerated report which will require subse-
quent modification. Facts are desired,
and If these fail fiction is the natural
refuge of the reporter. The railway
official that will afford the reporter every
facility for gathering these facts will
not regret doing SO, and will set an ex-
ample worthy of MISUNDERSTANDING
Bulletin.

taken with pneumonia and was awful

eral months. The mother telegraphed
for the father that the darling daughter
was dying. In the meantime John was

lungs seemed to heal up as though ma
nipulated by faith curist. Her delirium
passed away like mist before the morn

as lark. John remained at her side all
day, and on leaving in the evening prom
ised to return next morning. Being out
of a job it was an easy thing for him to
do, and that second days ompanionship

Murder Revealed in a Dream.

which he saw two men commit murder
near his home. He was so impressed
with the vision that he related it to his
family and friends. .ss
A few days afterward the reverend
gentleman was visiting in the neighbor-
ing county of Laurel. In taking walk
he approached a hill which seemed famil-
lar. On reaching the brow he was hor-
rified to find the body of dead man,
whom he at once recognized as the one
seen in his dream. The man was tall,
with gray mustache and hair, and was
well dressed. Not paper was found
about his clothing. Five dollars in silver
was all he had in his pockets. There ia
no clue as to his identity. The scene
where the corpse was found is the one
