bringing with them a youth of about twelve years of age, and reported that the father of this boy had suddenly turned cannibal, and had killed and eaten his wife and three younger chill dren.
 The boy had effected his escape and carried the news to these Indians.
 It was not an uncommon thing for an Indian to acquire taste for human flesh, and at times he had not the ex- cuse of starvation, for in some instances as in the present case-the party was in the midst of abundance of game.
 The Indians call this becoming a ''Windago;" and when a Windago is known to be within one or two hundred miles of band of hunters, the latter are paralyzed with fear to such an ex- tent that they do not even venture from camp to procure food, much less trap for furs.
 Knowing this trait of the Indians, and recognizing that if they did not hunt, our trade for that year would be lost, Mir. Clark, my superior in charge of the post, ordered me to take four men and proceed to the place where the Indian was last known to be, and capture him by some means.
 I wanted to take the youth that had come in with the Indians as a guide, but he could in no way be induced to leave the post, being in such dread of his father.
 The best information as to the locali- ty in which She-ma-gan was last seen we got from a boy, and started in three -fathom canoe to hunt him up.
 Our journey to reach the place in- dicated by the boy was not difficult, as we simply had to follow down the Rupert river to the High falls; and it was below that, at bend in the stream about two miles from the falls, on the right-hand bank, where the boy had last seen his father.
 As She-ma-gan was known to be an expert shot, and in possession of a good tiouble-barreled gun, with plenty of ammurition, it behooved us to ap- proach him with due care, and not to risk the lives of any of the party un- necessarily.
 The High falls from Mistassini were about SlXty mics ulstdnt, anu as lU " ao past noon when we left the post, we only reached there the following even ing in time to camp.
 We took cold supper of jerked moose meat and biscuit, with cold water in place of the usual tea, as it was deemed the safest plan not to make fire because the smoke might be drawn down the valley of the river and thus betray our presence.
 The keenness of an Indians sense of smell is astonishing. have known an Indian to scent a camp-smoke at five miles. Our course on that occasion

him. A stout six-foot chain led from his middle each way and fastened to a leather belt on the men; thus he was kept at equal distance from both.
 In this way we plodded on our mo- notonous journey day after day, and at night one man kept watch on the sleepers and replenished the fire from time to time.
 It was a blessing the poor fellow was most obedient and willing to our com mands. say poor fellow, for, in spite of his crimes, one could hardly hold him accountable for his actions when his reason was unbalanced. Mir Gladman, the head officer of the district and personally in charge of Rupert house, was small, nervous man, and anything out of the common run of circumstances upset him ter ribly. The reception he accorded us for bringing this man down on his hands was not the most gracious. In fact, he threatened to order us back If this had been insisted upon, fear there would have been mutiny on our part. However, this unpleasant con- tingency was obviated by the offer of Rev. Father Pion, who was stationed at Rupert house as missionary priest, to take charge of the man. I was not sorry when the return packet was delivered to me and I was free to return to our inland home. Mir. Gladman belied his name while I was there, for he was anything but a glad man, and evide ntly had soma grudge against me, and made my stay at headquarters anything but pleasant.
 When I reported the circumstance to Mir. Clark at Mistassini, he mumbled some words that 1 understood to mean "old fool;" and that was the only com ment he made.
 In June, when we went down with sequel of the cannibal.
 Under the kind care of the holy father, he had, toward the month of | March, almost as the priest had ex- pected, regained his reason; so much so, indeed, that he was allowed consid. ] erable freedom, even to the extent ot gunning for small game in the woods surrounding the mission house. One morning, when the priest went to say his early mass at the church which was built at the edge of the bush and some little distance from the parsonage-he was mortified to see blood on the steps leading into the sacred edifce. On entering the door he received a greater shock to see the carcass of jumping deer on the altal table and the dead form of She-ma-gar at the foot of the steps.
 A letter written in Indian characters lay near him, which told too plainly that his reason had given way for the second time. In it he asked pardon fol his sins through the intermisson ot the priest, saying he had met this men tn deer) in the bush, had killed him and remorse was so great that he gave his life at the foot of the holy table foi his crime.
 He had opened one of the large vein: of his leg, and lay there till life hat ebbed from him.
 Poor fellow! He rested at last. .-N ". Ledger.

Don't Grease the GriddIe.

Hot pancakes are such universal favorites, and the family is so varied in all its branches, that everyone knows how to mix the most approved ingredients, whether the substrat tum be buckwheat, rice, Indian meal, or wheat -four. But how to bake them, is the question, without filling the house with smoke and heavy greasy odor. Do not grease the griddle. That's my way of cooking them. The griddle must be perfectly clean and smooth and neither too hot nor yet too cool. When I think 1t about right I wipe it off with wet towel, then try one small cake. If it bakes to nice light brown, thea I keep the griddle at that temperature until the meal is finished, moving it alternately to a cooler or war mer place on the range, as may be needed. "-Elizabeth Cady stanton.

January packet to headquarters at Ru- pert house to send him out of the in- terior.
 To secure him against any possible chance of escape, large log chain was passed through the log walls of the mems house tor servants quarters), and fastened securely outside, the slack pulled into the house and the end fastened to his leg chains by large paddock.
 Twice day, when the weather was favorable, two of the men took him outside for half an hour for exercise and fresh air.
 While he remained at Mistassini he was always a c ciuse of anxiety and dis quietude to the dwellers of the post; for once person is deprived of his liberty he is an object of fear, and, no matter how secure prisoner may be, there is always possibility of his effecting his escape. And should such, indeed, take place, imagination more than makes up as to what would overtake us from revengeful person.
 thought in the capture of She-ma- gan 1 had done my share, and was, therefore, much surprised, on the eve of the departure of our mail packet for the coast, to receive orders from MT. Clark to accompany the men, and safe. ly deliver the cannibal to the officer in charge of Rupert house. Much as l | disliked the service, there was nothing to do but obey; for one of the funda' mental laws of the company is strict obedience to ones superior.
 The journey of two hundred and eighty miles had to be performed on snowshoes, and this during the most severe part of winter, and consequently the shortest days for travelling. We had to camp on the trail eight nights, with nothing to protect us from the | weather but lean-to of cotton to keep the wind off, and an immense fire in front to prevent us from freezing.
 Some nights the cold was so intense that even the best dry wood would not flame up, and we sat huddled about a dense smoke with our capotes, mitts and fur caps on as in the daytime, and waited with what patience we could for daylight to be on the move again.
 As much of our road lay through the forest, we were compelled to walk h. dian file, with our prisoner attached front and back to the man that pre- ceded him and to the man that followed

THE WIDE SKIRT.
Makes woman's Feet Look Small and
 Therefore It Is Popular.

Therefore It Is Popular.
 It doesn't matter much what girls dress looks like below the waist, pro- vided it flares sufficiently around the feet. The continued and increasing popularity of the wide skirt, notwith- standing its extravaganza, would be hard to understand were it not for the fact that the contrast between skirt and feet gives the latter a diminutive appearance which few women can re- sist. Reformers may say what they please about common sense and other inconvenient and unattractive things, but it will take generations of strong minded women to filter away the deep est fondness which we yet retain for small feet. If we must wear large shoes, then we hail with delight any thing which, even by contrast, helps the hurt that vanity feels.
 The wide skirt has brought about a reform, too, which will atone for many sins of extravaganza. It has done away with the human street-sweeper. The gown which dips in any part of its contour-most of all at the back marks its wearer as old-fashioned and the gown as passe.
 However, this does not exclude that symbol of elegance and magnifcence, the dinner-gown train, as the above costume will indicate.
 The skirt of this gown is made of a rich brocade edged all around with fur. The bodice is laid in diagonal folds, with an insertion of lace. The sleeves are made of striped silk and are very large The size of the sleeve, again, may have some explanation in woman's desire for small hauds-which is only second to her fondness for small feet Chicago News.

Fruits of the Democratic Tarir.

The fruits of democratic tariff legis- lation are still coming home to us. France has now added herself to the list of European nations which prohibit the importation of American cattle, and the factious opposition of two or three senators prevents the repeal of the differential sugar duties which make the excuse for most of the hostile commercial action against us. There is said to be probability of different action on our part in retaliation than anything proposed in the cases of Ger many, Austria or Belgium. But why should this be? The. cause of all hos tile action alike is to be found some where in our own action. Why not try to find out what it is, and then, # ye have been in the wrong, make prompt amends? Is there any other honest course?-Boston Traveller.
