A Fatal Error,

Ingram PottGrS Is very nearsighted, d defect that has caused him no end of an. noyance. He would pass friends upon the street without recognizing them, and be- ing wealthy the seeming snubs were ascribed to naughty spirit. Sometimes he bumped into people apparently on pur- pose, so that he narrowly missed blow now and then from an irato individual.
 His wife pleaded with him in vain to correct the failing by recourse to the op- tician, but Ingram is just old enough not to be willing to seem older, and he was deaf to all her entreatios until-but here is the story in few words:
 Last Thursday evening he returned home in high spirits, a successful turn in stocks having netted him several thousand dollars, and bursting into the sitting room rushed up to q female seated in his favor ite chair, kissed her ardently and began
 "Martha"-
 To his utter consternation, there was a sudden shrinking from his embrace, and tho cold, unsympathetic yoico of the pretty wife of his next door neighbor said:
 How dare you, sir' I'll inform my husband nt onco of this outrage.
 Gracious heavens, madam, he cried, half beside himself with confusion and shame, it was all n mistake Don't think anything of it, l beg of you. Why, if had known it was you, I-I-why, honestly, madam, wouldn't kiss you knowingly if you were the last woman in the world"
 The apology capped tho climax. It was interrupted by hystcrical tears from tho pretty woman, who rushed in indignation from tho house. What with tho wrath of her husband and tho jealousy of his own wife Ingram was driven half distracted for tho next 2i hours. Ho now wears glasses of double magnifying power and carries two extra pairs to guard against assidn-A Chicago Tribune

AN UNLUCKY ISLAND.
NEWFOUNDLAND WITHOUT FOOD,
 FUEL AND FUNDS.

Again In EnEIand's Oldest Colony, 'the
 Sport of Historic HIisgortunes"-The Gov
 ernment Nearly Bankrupt, the Banks In
 Liquidation and Trade ParaIyzed.
 At the present time Newfoundland seems to be good plaCo to remain away from. The people are without food, fuel and funds. and the awful state of desti- tuition prevailing there was recently brought to public notice in most for cible manner by the bread riots in St. Johns. There is no circulating medium owing to the recent failure of the Com mercial and Union banks, the only banks in tho colony; trade is paralyzed, few firms havo weathered the storm, there is no work for thousands of labor ing men. and large percentage of tho population is on tho verge of bankrupt cy, and tho people are ready for any thing that will put bread in their mouths.
 Lord Salisbury once turned the col ony "the sport of historic misfortunes, |" and the phrase never seemed naore apt than at the present time. In July, 1892, half the city of St. Johns was swept away by il conflagration that left II. 900 out of the 3l, 142 residents of the place homeless. Tho fire proved temporary blessing, for tho $4, OCO, 900 of insurance money that poured into the city revived trade and assisted the two banks, which were on the verge of failure. These

THE repu blicIns In congress have an other bad case ot Hawaiian fever, brought on by the news of the very feeble revLlt against the republic of- Hawaii, which was published in Saturdays papers. In their rayingA against the administration the republicans tolgst that the absence of United States warship from Honolulu at the time or the reVo't was directly due to request made by President Dole of Hawaii; also. that Minister Willis in his official dispatch to Seer taIy Gresham, giving news of the revolt and of Its fail ure, says: President Dole expressed to me his qualification that no national ship has been in port during this disturbance. '' h other words. that the president of Hawaii was glad that he had been able to demonstrate to the world his ability to put down a revolt without the moral support which the presence ot a foreign va vessel or vessels would have given him. But these are facts. something the republicans never trouble themselves about when they start to abusing the administration.

 To harden a long. thin piece of steel, such as a small French clock pinion. without getting it out of shape is a very difficult anl hazardous operation, but may be done. The first necessity, if an open fire is lSed. is to have a uni form heat. though it is preferable to heat the steel in brass tube filled with charcoal. The tube must have the per foratiun not much larger than the object to be hardened and must be of consider able sulidity, as the charcoal without a good body of metal would be poor con duCtor uf heat The fluid to be used in the process of hardening should be lin seed, cottonseed. or, best of all. castor oil mixed with kerosene in proportion of one half each. It has been observed that small steel objects spring more ill hard ening by being plunged into a thin quickly cooling fluid, such as water etc By the use of castor oil we have thick, slow cooling fluid. while the admiXture of kerosene oil imparts high degree of hardness and touChnesS.

banks were i'll difficulties a year before from loaning more money than their capital warranted, but Sir William Whiteway, who was then premier and attorney general, assisted them by pro- curing a loan of $250, 900, which they succeeded in repaying ill n single year.
 Like the phenix, St. Johns rose from its ashes after the great fire, and in two years tho burned district was rebuilt and greatly improved, While the insUr- anCo money lasted th,rc was a season of prosperity, but when the money was eX- haustCd the crash that had only been deferred came upon the colony. One of tho principal causes of the present tinan cial troubles Is the credit system that has long prevailed ill the fishing trade. For grut rHtiuIS the largo mercantile firms have advanced goods and pruYi- siOnS to the fishermen, who at the end of the srasun turu,d over their catch to the merchant. If tie season was good one, each ti>htlman had a balance to his credit wi:,n the accounts were ad- justUd. IT thr s,:iNuu NyuS Unprutitablc, he was in dtht for uHo years supplies and must Prnrurr another on credit In this way many fishermen became hope lessly plung,d in debt, and merchants were compelled 10 charge outrageous prices in order to rccoup themselves for their losses from numerous bad debts. The end was only matter of time
 Another potent cause Was the gross mismanagCmclEt of the two banks Near ly $l. GOO. GOO worth of the Commercial bank notes wcrr held by persons all over the colony, and when the bank failed on Dec 10 and the Union bank follow ed the entire circulating medium of the colony received d tSriblc blow. The Commercial bank < currency was found to be worth 70 cents un the dollar and the Unions so cents The mercantile firms indebted t0 the hanks went to tho wall, tho shareholders were ruined, and the financial situation was and k chaos

Premier Whitcway and his col leagues were accused of bribery and cor ruption year ago and were unSeated and disqualified on technical grounds by the supreme court, hut it is understood that Whitoway will return to power as soon as tho legislature relieves him from tho disqualification imposed by tho CCuIt.

How to Care For a Saint Bernard.

A St. Bernard puppy should never be taken away from his mother until he is weeks old aud only then if healthy. A few days before the puppy is taken from his mother he should bs given daily little hominy made thin or some of the patent pepSinated puppy food, given according to the directions which accompany the biscuits. This food pre- pares the puppy's delicate little digest i've organs for the most trying ordeal of his life, the severance from natural to artificial diet. A puppy should lap tho hominy or puppy food, whichever is Se- lected, of his own free will and never be fed with a spoon. When the puppy can feed himself, he should then have placed before him a bowl of milk, which should be boiled and allowed to cool to the temperature of blood. Great and sudden changes in diet must be avoid ed. Milk is the most valuable food for newly wcaned puppies that can be given. and aS il iS advisable to give them, if possible, the same COW Smilk, which is not obtainable always, I have found that condensed milk, keeping to the same brand, is the most desirable. As puppies grow older scalded bread, thoroughly boiled oatmeal and puppy dog cakes made to q pulp should make two of | the six necessary meals day that they crave. From to 12 weeks their meals may consist of the same solid materials, | substituting broth in the place of milk. 1 The more variety puppy can have the better,
