hundred bottles of this Remedy were sold in

THE DREARY WINTER IN NEW
FOUNDLAND.

The isolation of life in the distant
parts of Newfoundland during Win
teri extreme. Outside the peninsula
Avalon there are hardly any roads,
and, even if they existed, snow and
ice would render them impossible.
Out to sea stretches a vast icy pave
ment, through which it is often i'm
possible for even a steamer to ram
its way. So all the long winter
months the little hamlets lie sur
rounded by the great snow blanket,
and cut off from communication
from all mankind save those who
inhabit their little settlement Should
the store of provisions run low, the
situation is perilous, for there is no
possibility Of getting supplies unless
a lead opens in the ice and allows
a steamer to get along the cost; or
if she be not ice-bound at too great
a distance, perhaps some of the men
go out over the frozen sea to meet
the vessel, and carry home food to
come, the people are sometimes driven
to eat their dogs, of which several are
usually kept in order to draw home
wood from the forest on sleds. So
great is the difficulty of communica-
ton during winter that a clergyman
relates that on one occasion, as near
to the capital as Trinity bay, forty
shillings had been demanded, and
twenty-five were actually paid, for
the conveyance of single letter over
land to the city by a cross-countrv
o11ide While the coast iS ice-bOund
the direct steamers from England
do not touch at Newfoundland, but
the mails are brought up from Hall
fax in small wooden steamer, ex-
pressly built for facing the ice; but
even this vessel cannot always man
age to get in, and mails have to be
carried ashore seven or eight miles
over the ice on mems backs Lady

MODERN STEAMSHIPS HAVE NO
FEAR OF STORMS.

1t is not when the seas come
pounding over the bows that the
captains face lengthens. Even
when it is necessary to keep the pas
sengers below, and the spray is car
ried as high as the foretop, his con-
tidence in his ship is unabated. His
and though the clouds hang low,
and the air is filled with singing
moisture flying like sleet from the
Kissing sea-even when boats are
torn out of the davits, and iron bits
and ventilators are snapped from
their fastenings like pipe-sterns, he
has no misgiving as to the ability of
the ship to weather the gale, or the
hercest hurricane that can blow.
Give him an open sea, without
haze, or fog, or snow, and neither
wind nor wave can alarm him. He
knows very well, as all who are ex-
perienced in such matters do, that
the modern steamers of the great
Atlantic lines are so carefully con-
structed, and Of such strength, that
the laundering fone of them through
stress or weather alone is well-nigh
inconceivable.
But when fog descends, then it is
that his face and manner change,
and he who has been the most
sociable and gayest of men suddenly
becomes the anxious and taciturn.
His seat at the head of the table is
vacant; look for him and you will
not find him, as in fair weather,
diverting groups of girls tucked up
in steamer chairs on the promenade
deck, but pacing the bridge and puff
fling a cigar which apparently has
not been allowed to go out since it
was lighted as the big ship backed
from her wharf into the North river.
Wherever and whenever it occurs,
fog is source of danger from which
neither prudence nor skill can guar
antee immunity; and whether the
ship is slowed down or going at full
speed, there is cause for fear while
this gray blindness battles the eyes.
With plenty of sea-room the danger
is least, and it increases near land,
especially where the coast is wild
and broken. like that of Ireland and
Wales, and where there are many
vessels as well as rocks to be passed.
