Stove Colors.

In view of the fact, says an Austria
Hungarian journal, that black iron
stoves do not in all cases suit room
which is painted in light colors, and of
the attempts made unsuccessfully to
use upon them water glass paint, Herr
Kratzer, a Leipsic chemist, has been
experimenting in this direction with
very satisfactory results. The colors, he
finds, may be blue white, borium sui
phate, zinc white, borium chromate,
yellow ocher, uranium oxide, green
chromium oxide, cobalt green, green
ultramarine, ultramarine blue, cadmium
oxide for yellow brown, English red or
caput mortuum for brown, brown oxide
of manganese, burned terra dl slena,
red iron colors, chrome red. These are
to be mixed with warm soft water, dis
titled or rain, and diluted SO degrees
or sulphur free water glass. Thus one
part of water glass may be mixed with
two Of warm soft water, and one part
of bronze powder be worked up with so,
by weight, of the diluted water glass.
1t may be necessary to give the color a
thorough preliminary wetting with very
soft water, particularly if the color be
an earthly one, and the better this is
done the better will the color mix with
the water glass, but no more color
should be mixed than can be used with
in two to four hours. The iron should
be perfectly free from grease and rust,
and should be treated with a scratch

Wrong Altogether.

The vicar OF a parish not many miles
from we'll known fashionable town
was recently preaching Il charity sermon,
and il Tic course of his remarks ne re-
buked soine of his parishioners who he
thought simulated distress for the sake
of obtaining assistance they did not real
~ require.
As al illustration of this weakness he
mentioned that during one OF his pas
toral visits 10 entered 9 cottage of one
of the supposed delinquents, where he
found everything neat and clean, aud,
what was more, a large plateful OF but
tered toast before the fire.
Yes" lie repeated emphatially,
"buttelod toast Did that" he asked,
"looll like want?''
III tho brief pause that followed this
outbarst Of energy voice indignantly
responded, ono, 'tweern't butter nei-
thor: 'twero drjppin.
The effect Of this correction upon pas
tor and hcck WAS simply indescribable.

Do re,a. Foxes Climb Treesq

A correspondent of spoI isman's pa
per declared recently, There is little
sport to be had in hunting foxes in Tex
as, because they climb trees in 10 or 20
minutes after the dogs start them" The
foxes in England are often driven to the
trees by the eager dogs, but they do not
climb in the sense that squirrel or bear
does They jump to the lower branches
of the trees and by their aid work them
selves up to the top branches. A fox can
get into tree that is no higher than 8
feet to the lower branches, and it is
probably by jumping that the Texas fox
gets into the trees.

Independent Order Of
Reehabites
In NORTH AMERICA.
THE OBJECTS AND AIMS.
Information of Interest to Temper
ance Workers and Those Seeking
"a Refuge From the Tempta-
tions of Strong Drink.
In NORTH AMERICA

THE more important object Of this
il Association is Mutual Benefit in
the exercises of Temperance, Forti-
tude and Justice, securing to its
membership sympathy and relief in
times of sickness and distress; and in
the event of death, the decent OBJ.
servance of the necessary funeral
obseuuies; and is based upon and
seeks, the extension of the principles
of Total Abstinence from all intoxi-
eating drinks.
The Order has three subordinate
branches, viz:
Primary Tents, composed of white
male persons between the ages of 16
and 55 years of age, who believe in
the existence and omnipotence of
God and are willing to sign our pledge
of total abstinence, are eligible to
membership.
Persons over age may become hon
orary members.
Female Tents, composed of white
females 10 years of age and upwards,
a Junior Branch Of Boys from IL to
16 years, and Juvenile Tents, for
Children of both sexes between the
ages of and 16 years.
Each branch has service especially
adapted. 1t has been found that by
working in separate branches of the
organization, there is more freedom
of action than when all ages and
sexes are thrown together. Each
branch of the Order is represented in
the higher body, and fostering care
is exercised over all alike. Thus with
the men and women, girls and boys
all united under one head the l. 0.
of R. is as an irresistible army NOV
ing on to victory.
The Order has, and will continue
to prove blessing to our country,
not only in proving an asylum for the
reformed drunkard, but by inducing
the sober and religious part of the
community to unite in securing the
rising generation from the evils of
intemperance, and ultimately hand
down to generations yet unborn, the
benefits of sobriety.

UNEMPLOYED AMERICA.
Vast Tracts of Northwestern Territory
Still Awaiting the Discoverer.

Of Ontario's area, estimated at 200,-
900 square miles, 100, 600 square miles
are in all unknown region, only the
edges of which have been explored. This
is the territory known as the Hinterland
of Ontario. 1t lies between Lakes Huron
and Superior to tho south and the Albany
river and James bay to the north. In
this vast area is the Height of Land,
which separates waters flowing to Hud-
sou bay from the streams emptying into
the st. Lawrence and the lakes. North
of the Height is what is called the Hud-
son bay slope, consisting of about 80, 900
square miles. This slope may be describ.
ed as unknown land.
Tho Height of Land is not ridge of
hills, but is level plateau some 1900
or l, 300 feet above the sea. "The seem
cry" says a surveyors report, though
diversified by hundreds of rivers and
streams, thousands Of lakes and innu-
merable crags and hills of rock, is certain
ly lacking in that mobility and largeness
of view which only the presence of lofty
mountains can bestow." OF the rivers
flowing north from this slope the AL
bany is the most important. being about
Ats miles long and navigable during the
season of high water for 900 miles. OF
the short slope south of the Height Of
Land, in which are situated the settle
ments Of North Bay, Sturgeon Falls and
Sudberry, there is definite and general
knowledge, but the whole territory slop-
ing north remains unexplored.
The Hinterlund is Ontario's reserve.
Much valuable timber in this region is
destroyed by fires that sweep south of
the watershed. Pine, spruce, tamarack,
poplar and cedar are varieties of wood
existing III abundance south of the Hud-
son bay slope. Here, too, are valuable
minerals, but the treasures hidden in
the region north of the plateau and the
resources of the high plane itself await
the searching Of some intrepid explorer.
Meanwhile no adventurous spirit need
resign itself to obscure inactivity nor
ambitious traveller sigh because there are
not new countries to traverse. The Hin
terland will reward the eager discoverer,
and when he has exhausted that territory
Labrador, Newfoundland, the Northeast
territory and regions of the great north
west remain unsuryeyed. Winnipeg

The Earl Of Dunraven, finding that
there were too many pike i'll his waters
at Adare Manor, County Limerick, Ire
land, for successful front fishing, recent
il ordered his professional fisherman to
capture what he could Of them. Thirty
four have been taken so far Of al aver
sgc weight Of Q pounds each, the
largest weighing % pounds and the
smallest 2 pounds. Why threc-fourths
of them were females is not understood
at all. That there was need Of taking
out tic pike is shown By the fact that
several OF the fish contained trout, and
nearly ali the females were heavy with
spawn. The pickerel fry feed on the
trout AID salmon fry, being far better
fighters than equal sized trout.
The greatest of care is necessary at
fish hatcheries to prevent the pickerel
fry from getting among the fry of other
varieties. A dozen small piclerel i'll a
year will destroy thousands of other
small fish, and the loss is considerable.

Now for the ReuniOni

At the meeting last Saturday, which
had been called to make arrangements
for the big District Reunion which
meets in Beaver on September IL and
continues the, days, it was decided to
appoint an executive committee Of seven
persons from the G. A. r. Post
of Beaver, one from the s. of ", one
from the Beaver Cornet Band and Two

and N. A. Peckham were chosen to rep
resen. soldiers, VIM. Quinn for the S.
Of v, Dyke Ballipger for the band and
A. n. Cranmer snd Frank Laughrin,
citizens. There was question as to
whether it would be best to hold the
reunion in town or in grove, but il was
decided that the town would be the
proper place. Il was moved and carried
that any member Of the executive cons
mittee who should fail to attend duly
called meeting, without good excasc,
should be hned one dollar, to 20 to the
"chuck fund"
After the meeting adjourned the ex,
ecutive committee met and ap-

able TO give more information as to the
plans Of the committee.
