Hacked on Both Feet.

Echoes of suffering still come from the
regions of long enduring winter and far
belated spring. Up in Manitoba few
days ago Joseph Contour, OF Labroquerie,
while hunting ran across a shanty In front
of which he saw human foot Entering
he found man named Mckinnon lying
on bundle of rags, almost famished and
nearly insane from privation. A month
before both his feet became frozen and
modification developed in one of them.
He cut it off with butcher knife and
threw it outside. This crippled him com
pletely, and he lay in his hut dying Of
starvation. thirst and pain, until Provi-
dence sent the wandering hunter 70 his
door. Giving the wounded man some
thing TO eat. Contour set ont to secure as
sistance. He obtained a team and two
men, and returned 10 the hut only 70 find
that in MS bsence the wounded man had
hacked off his other foot, modification
having also attacked il. He was placed
on a wagon and n start made for Winni-
peg. but the condition OF the sufferer pre-
Guided rapid travelling, and il was some
DAYS before the destination was reached.
Mckinnon, despite his terrible trials, has
fair chance for life.

Beating q Wolf.

It is not often that wolf story Is told
in a way to show the cowardly nature of
the animal. For this reason the follow
ing account, given by the author OF
''Twenty-seven Years in Canada West, T."
has its own value and interest:
My wife's youngest sister had pet
sheep that she had brought up from a
lamb, and to which she was much at
tached. One afternoon she was going
down TO the spring for a pitcher of wa
ter, when she saw a large dog, as she
thought, worrying her sheep, upon which
she picked up large stick and struck
the beast two or three strokes with all
her strength, thus compelling him to
drop his prey.
This, however, he did very reluctantly,
turning his head at the same time, and
showing his teeth with a most diabolical
snarl. She saw at once when he faced
her, by his pricEed ears, high check
bones, long. bushy tail and gaunt figure,
that her antagonist was a wolf. Nothing
daunted, she again bravely attacked
him, for he seemed determined, in spite

lamb, which he again attacked
she boldly beat him off the second
time, following him down the creek,
thrashing him and calling for aid with
all her might, when, fortunately, one Of
her brothers. attracted by her cries, ran
down with the dogs and his gun. But
hs was too late fer a shot, for when the
wolf saw the reinforcement he scamp
cred of with all his speed.

Foreign News.

The general newspaper reader is often
struck and sometimes annoyed by the fact
that the journals of the Atlantic cities
give much space to European news which
interests almost no one in the interior, and
that the Pacific coast journals are falling
into the same habit as 10 the news from
Asia and the islands of the Pacific. Trade
interests account for some of this, but
not all. Professor J. ". Draper main
tanned that the Pacific coast people are
gradually becoming more Asiatic in feel
ing, while those on the Atlantic are, or
rather have never ceased to be, somewhat
European. Be that as it may, it is certain
that thousands near the Atlantic read
with intense interest OF the daily doings of
Emperor William, the sayings of Bismarck
and other gossip which To western people
0eem too Insignificant fer contempt.

THE LITERARY WORLD.
Will Colonel John Hay Write a Novel
Dealin. with Political Life?


Especial Correspondence.l
New York, April 20-AIr. r. w. Glider
who is the editor OF The Century Maya
zine and an intimate friend of Colonel
John Hay, is reported recently to have said
that the claim of a clergyman of Cleveland
that he wrote the novel, The Bread Win
ners." cannot be maintained by him. Mr.
Glider declares that he knows who did
write The Bread Winners" and, although
he is not permitted TO mention the name
yet the interview with him confirms the
general suspicion that this famous novel
was written by Colonel John Hay.
Colonel Hay is reported variously. Some
friends of his say that ne has denied the
authorship of the work, while others de-
clare that he has confessed it. Literary
men who have made a close study Of the
book assert that it bears internal evidences
of Colonel Hays Workmanship, and that
some indications are also TO be found
which suggest that another person may
also have had hand IN the work. One Of
the ablest editors in New York has said in
private that it is his opinion the story was
first conceived and the manuscript pre-
pared By person unknown 10 fame, and

TO MAKE YOUR OWN ROD
HERE ARE PLAIN DIRECTIONS BY
ALFRED BALCH.
It Need Cost You but Four Dollars in
Money, but You Must Take Plenty Of
Time and Spare Not Care and Labor in
Its Making.
Especial Correspondence

NEW YORK, April 20-No expenditure of
money of which / have knowledge gives
man so much pleasure as when he pays it
over the counter of a tackle store. The
vanished rod, the cleaning reel the line
and flies in themselves give strange de-
light to the owner. while the visions which
ill the mind with anticipation Of future
sport cause faint premonitions of the thrill
which comes when one feels the fish strike,
and knows that for the next twenty min
utes there is to be battle royal with the
noblest foe a man may meet.
But man or boy who cannot buy these
beautiful things, which in truth cost
good deal, may yet be that happy individ-
ual who is born fisherman, for a fisher
man is born, not made. He may have the
true movement of the muscles, the calm
yet alert Judgment the love of the brook
side or the dancing open water without
which even the finest tackle is valuelesS.
Shall he then be deprived of the exercise of
these more than royal gifts, be condemned
to forego the delight which is his Of right
divine because he has not money? Perish
the thought. He may fish in the most
lovely way, making his own tackle and de-
irving therefrom Il pleasure which those
who pay may never feel.
A perfect rod is a tapering pole of wood,
absolutely straight, which possesses bal
ance, strength, elasticity, pliancy and
lightness. OF these qualities we must find
the strength, elasticity and lightness as
natural to the wood OF which the rod is
made, while we get pliancy and balance
in the manufacture. OF our native woods
red cedar is the only one which possesses
the majority of qualifications for a rod
From it one of the most perfect rods in the
world may be made. As, however, the
wood is not very strong, a red cedar rod
makes great skill in its owner necessary.
An expert fly fisherman can land almost
any trout or black bass with such a rod,
but he must be a man TO whom the man
agement of the reel has become second nat
ure. This being the case, a red cedar rod
is not suitable for a beginner, and we must
look for tougher wood.
For the butt or heaviest joint of the rod
no wood is better than white ash. 1t should
be second growth thoroughly seasoned and
