Most Remarkable Storm OF Years -'Tis
Disappearing Rapidly.

The worst, or the heaviest, sleet
storm this country has ever hal, as far
as can be learned, came this
week Monday il showed and
rained at intervals. though lightly, all
day, and that night the moisture in
creased to a rain and begun to freeze.
Tuesday morning nearly everything ex-
posed to the north was coated heavily
with ice. The trees. from the extreme
weight were bent and broken as
Though ahurricanehad passed through
here. Many shade trees which have
been carefully tended for ten years
are utterly ruined and-the larger fruit
trees have Jared the same. There was
a very light thaw Tuesday. but yesfer-
day the temperature rose cOnsidera-
bly, and much Of the ice disappeared.
One or two more warm days will COM
plefe the WORK and no doubt the
streams will ali be running bank full
before Saturday. IL has not been cold
enough, nor continued q sufficient
length Ofiime to bring great injury up
on stock, but in its way tins has been
a very remarkable sleet storm. East
of Grand river there was not a great
amount Of ice, but to the west the
storm was similar to that which

and have constructed, in defiance Of the
expressed words of these treaties, perma-

The French have, moreover, driven the
Newfoundland fshel1nenout OF the mar
kets OF Europe. by the heavy bounties
given to them the French fishermen have
been able TO undcrsell their competitors.
In retaliation the Newfoundland legisla-
ture, disregarding an agreement between
France and England in 1885, passed
what is known as the bait act, obstruct-
ing the sale of bait to the French.
Supplied by smugglers, the French
have been able to get what best they
needed. They have also been able to
supplement this supply from St. George
bay, where the French commander re-
Gently ordered Newfoundland fishermen

their nets so as not TO interfere with
French fisherman engaged in the same

this, but it has greatly angered the peo-

them talk Of seeking union with the
United States if they cannot obtain re-

Tho Cat and the Fer-Do Lance.

The cat, upon seeing snake, at once car
ries her kittens TO a place of safety, and
then boldly advances to the encounter.
She viii walk to the very limit of the SER
pent'5 striking range, and then begin to
feint, teasing him, startling him, trying to
draw his blow.
How the emerald and topaz eyes glow
thenl They are flames. A moment more,
and the triangular head, Kissing from the
coils, flashes swift, as if moved by wings,
but swifter still the stroke of the armed
paw that dRshes the horror aside, finging
it mangled in the dust.
Nevertheless, pussy does not yet dare to
spring. The enemy, still alive, has almost
instantly reformed his coil. Sheis in front
Of him, watching, vertical pupil against
vertical pupil. Again the laShing stroke,
again the beautiful counterinG; again the
living death is hurled aside. Now the
scaled skin is deeply torn; one eye socket
has ceased TO fame.
Once more tho stroke of the serpent; once
more the light, quick, cutting blow. But
the reptile is blind, stupeled. Before he
can attempt to coil pussy has leaped upon
him, mailing the horrible fat head fast to
the ground with her two sine1yy paws.
Now let him lash, writhe, Irvine, strive to
strangle her! In vain! He will never lift
his head. An instant mere, and he lies
still. The keen, white teeth Of the cat have
severed the yertebr:B just behind the trian-
gulaT skull.-lIidsummerT Trip to the Trop-
