Businers In America.

The American male stands the racket of
the schools much better than the female
He takes more exercise, and he has not the
troubles of puberty to contend against. But
he meets his fate very shortly afterward
He goes to business far too young, and he
straightway consumes his vital energy till
nothing Is left but dust and ashes. 1t is
often pointed out with pride that America
is the country of young men, and 80 it is.
We quite usually see here labors and re-
sponsibilities borne by mere boys which no
where else would be undertaken by many
under middle age. That is striking and in
teresting to the casual observer. But what
it means to such observers as DR.. Weir
Mitchell is that America is the country Of
young invalids, young wrecks, young drug
victims, young inebriates young maniacs,
young suicidesl The prematureness of bust
ness responsibility, the frantic haste to be
rich and powerful, produce in plain sight
what is nothing short of friRhtfully gen.
eral social evil.
The most appalling cases of nervous dis
ease that the doctor meets with are those
of young men in the highest posts who en-
tered business life too early and suddenly
encountered periods of excessive anxiety
and grave responsibility. 1t would have
been mercy to them if they had been
street sweepers or coal beavers instead Of
railroad presidents or bank managers.-Mc-

Frightened to Death,

There are several we'll authenticated
cases where fright was the cause of death.
An English surgeon tells of drummer in
India across whose legs harmless lizard
crawled while he was half asleep. He was
sure that ALGEBRA had bitten him, and it
was too much for his nerves, and he died.
Frederick l of Prussia was killed by
fear. His wife was insane, and one day
she escaped from her keeper and, dab
bling her clothes with blood, rushed upon
her husband while he was doing in his
chair. King Frederick imagined her to
be the white lady, whose ghost was be-
heved TO invariably appear whenever the
death Of a Der of the royal family was
to occur, and he was thrown into fever
and died in six weeks.
BUT perhaps the most remarkable death
fron4 fear was that of the Dutch painter
Pentman, who lived in the seventeenth
century. One day he went into a room
fYn of anatomical subjects to sketch some
Skulls and bones for picture he intended
ITO paint The weather was very sultry,
and while sketching he fell asleep. He
was aroused by bones dancing around
him and the skeletons suspended from
the ceiling clashing together. In fit of
horror he threw himself out of the win
dow. Though he sustained no serious in
jury and was informed that slight
earthquake had caused the commotion
among the ghostly surroundings, he died
OF nervous tremor. -London Million.

WINTER IN CANADA.
Outdoor Pleasure When the Temperature
Is Twenty Below Zero.

Outdoor Pleasure When the Temperature
Is Twenty Below Zero.
Business is so much interfered with in
the snow season that men and women
alike are bent on amusement There are
some magnificent turnouts, for Canadians
are good judges of horsefesh, and there is
great rivalry among the members to dec
crate their sleighs with the most beauti-
full furs and the prettiest women. The
sleighs are made of fancy woods, highly
polished, with silver bells and mounts,
and how captivating the "chosen fair"
looks on the box seat. muffled up in sa-
bles, her eyes dancing with pride and an
ticipated pleasure Though the tempera-
ture is probably 90 degrees below zero, the
sun is so bright and the sky so blue that
you want sunshade, but your hand would
be frozen If you dared to hold one up. The
driver is cold enough, kept busy as he is
with his lively flour" Many strangers
are compelled to wear smoked glasses in
the snow season. The glare from the in
tense blue sky on the white snow is blind
ing.
A Montreal belle who would wear the
latest New York hat instead of her fur
cap had both of her ears frozen while
watching the carnival procession pass.
After gently rubbing them with snow they
began to alter their complexion from snow
white to the color of raw beef. Her beauty
was spoiled that night at the carnival ball.
1t is painful sight to see a stranger ut
terly unconscious that his nose is frozen,
for common humanity compels one to tell
him the unpleasant fact. Moonlight sleigh
picnics are in great favor. When the moon
is up, the sleighs start. All the occupants
are in warm blanket coats, covered up to
the eyes with huge fur robes, as the rugs
are called. The favorite drive is round
the mountain-the Mount Royal of JAG
ques Cartier-which gives the city its
name, and is laid out as a public park,
with clubhouses at intervals of a mile,
where the sleighs stop and every one gets
out to get warm with hot bovril, coffee
and games At the clubhouse at the top
OF the mountain the blanket coats and
rubbers are taken off, and, as it is Ca
madam picnic, of course there must be
dance.
Tobogganing is almost more enjoyable
by night than by day-the danger is more
apparent. A toboggan down the Tuque
Blue club slide is very different matter
from coasting on the natural snow, which
is so often confused with tobogganing. On
the Tuque Blue slide the course is sheer
down the mountain side between boards
which contain sheet of CLASSY ice Just
wide enough to fit the toboggan. The to-
boggan isstarted off a shoot like switch
back railway. What follows is best de-

The best known living Canadian, and
undoubtedly the most prominent man
in the Provinces, is the Hon. James Nc
Shane, NJ. P. P, mayor of Montreal.
His reputation is not confined to the
city of which he is chief magistrate, or
to Canada, where he is a leader, but in
the United States, as well, he is highly
esteemed as politician and business
man.
He has always been an ardent and fear
less champion for the masses. AS men,
Der for Montreal Centre for the local
legislature, to which he was returned
twice by reclamation, he was the most
prominent member of all the assembly.
He afterward accepted position in the
ministry, where his services were even
more conspicuous. The people of Mon
treal, irrespective of creed and party, last
year called upon him to accept the high
est gift they could confer that of mayor,
and at the election he obtained the high
est majority ever given to a Montreal
mayor.
He has opposed jobbery and corrup-
ton in all departments of civic admins
tration, and his whole assiduons atten-
ton to the public interest has given him
a name and reputation that will be re-
membered for years to come.

Overwork, was completely run down and

scribed by the Chinaman's "Swish, swish,
walkee back a mile" The track is light
ed with flaring torches. An old lady of 70
years, who had lived all her life in Cali
fornia, came to Montreal to see the carni-
val. She would not leave the city until
she had been down the perilous Tuque
Blue toboggan slide. 1t often surprises
strangers that open sleighs are the ordi-
nary means of conveyance in a country
where for months the temperature is be-
low zero.
There are scarcely a dozen covered cabs
in Montreal. Canadians always 90 to
balls and dinner parties in open sleighs,
well wrapped up in furs. Sleighs are cheap
in Montreal. One can drive anywhere
within the city limits for 25 cents by night
or day. The poorest sleigh has liberal
supply of fur robes, and the driver is al
ways well covered in fur coat, generally
OF buffalo pelt. 1t is pretty sight to see
the country carriers bringing in their
sleighs to market full of hay and farm
produce across the frozen st. Lawrence.
Milk one buys by the pound-frozen. The
market is held in the old French quarter
of the town, and in the winter it is most
picturesque.-Pall Mall Gazette.

When he went home the other evening, he
laid his overcoat down in the hall, and
there his wife found it, and availing herself
of her privileges she went through the

She gazed at it minute and went after

Gambling and Nrnrn1itr-

Since it is not the province of the civil
law to make men internally moral, but
rather to safeguard the security of his So
cial rights; since it cannot effectually ap-
peal to his conscience, but can shake the
lash over his head, we have a condition
which prevents a man from exercising his
rights. This condition is called public pol
icy. The law does not argue that it is
morally wrong to gamble, but it can and
does say that gambling acts shall be pun
ished or not, as they oppose public policy
or not.
Whether gambling is immoral or not is
not to be answered by yes or no. The do
ing of acts prohibited by the state is i'm
moral, the gravity of the offense to be de-
termined by the circumstances Of each act.
1t may be moral for John Doe to gamble,
whereas it would be immoral for Richard
Roe. No one will pretend that the day
laborer whose dollar represents food and
clothing to his family has the same right
to squander his dollar that millionaire
might have. Neither is excess in gambling
TO be judged by different moral canon
from excess in any other form. If two mill
lionaires should meet and gamble away
$1,000, 1T would be less of an offense
against public policy than if a poor man
were to spend 10 cents.-Rev T. A. Hem
drick In Donahoe's Magazine.

Frustrated. He was confined to his
house for time, and was a very sick
man. 1t was critical time, and his
physicians sought for the best means of
recoverable most effective recuperator,
that he might be able, with as little de-
lay as possible, to carry on his manifold
business. Upon their advice, he acted
as many other men in this city have
done; he decided, without hesitation, to
try the efficacy of Paine's celery CON-
pound, haying heard much of its won
derful results.
He was not disappointed. His expert
ence with this great remedy was SO salts
factory and so gratifying to his family
and friends, that few weeks ago he sent
the prOprietors a strong testimonial,
which speaks volumes, and adds conclu-
sive proof to the statements of the physi-
clans, that of all the remedies that can be
had, Paine's celery compound stands far
above all others in honest and great re-
suits.
Mayor McShane says that Paine's Gel
cry compound has given him great
strength and good appetite, two re-
quisits which every man should possess.
His letter to Wells & Richardson Co., is
as follows:

Nearly everybody needs a good medi-
cine. The impurities which have been
accumulated in the blood during the
cold months must be expelled, or when
the mild days come, and the effect of
bracing air is lost, the body is liable to
be overcome by debility or some serious
disease. The remarkable success
achieved by Hoods Sarsaparllla, and the
many words of praise it has received,
make it worthy your confidence. We
ask you to give this medicine trial.

Among dull winters withered leaves,
But spring her bridal garments weaves
In violet time.
In violet time
Bright waters by the breezes stirred,
The carol OF the homing bird
Ii syery budding brake is heard
In violet time.
In violet time
On misty hills and flashing streams
Shine forth the hopeful, gladstone CLEAN
OF sunny days and summer dreams
In violet time.
In violet time
A thrill Of ecstasy divine
Exalts the soul like newmade wine,
And faith and hope and love combine
In violet time.
In violet time
The shadows all translucent lie
In joyous languor on the sky
oh, who would be content to die
In violet time?
