Serious Result of Quarrel Between Tw,

oefIoUs heHUII OF WuaffeI BoJWeen Two
Boys.
Two boys named James Gaughan and
Joseph Seward, residing at the west end of
Coal street, snow balled each other yesterday
and one of them, upon being struck in the
face with some snow, became angry and a
fight in earnest resulted. During the ex-
change Of blows Gaughan whipped out
penknife and stabbed Seward in tho left
breast. The blade penetrated in the region
Of the heart, but DR.. j. Pierce Roberts, who
was called in, said he did not anticipate fatal
results. No arrest was made and it seems to
be the desire of both families to say as little
as possible concerning the matter.

YOUR DUTY.

If medicine is to cure a dis
ease, it must be good medicine
the best only is good enough. Your
duty to yourself and to your doctor
is, to go to the very best druggist
you can find, without letting dol
lars and distance stand in your
way. In doing your duty we have
every reason to think that you will
come here with your prescriptions.

Another result of that Sunday night con
ference by the Democrats, as stated by a
prominent member of that party, was to
secure the appointment of overseers in each
Of the FIVE wards, something unusual in the
Second and Third wards where the elections
pass off without any conflict between the
two parties. l have not heard that applica-
tion for tie appointment of overseers has
been made; but the movement is an indica-
tion that our Democratic friends propose to
resort to extreme measures tomorrow. The
duties Of and privileges of overseers are
such that they may remain in the polling
place during the whole time the election is
held the votes counted and the returns made
out; may keep list of voters may challenge
any person offering to vote, interrogate him
and his witnesses under oath, and examine
his papers; and election officers are forbidden
to interfere with the duties of overseers,
under a penalty of fine and imprisonment

When you get voter to thinking, then
there's trouble ahead for the designing
politicians That is just what many Demo-
Gratis are doing to-day. l haYe opened their
eyes to more than one wholesome truth.
Many of them now see that the Democratic
party is being used-for what? To place in
position two men, To gain that end these
men have schemed and dickered to secure
nominees only that were friendly to them
selves. The Democrats who have stood by the
party in the past as a matter Of principle, re-
sent this, and openly express their condem-
nation of the tactics resorted to,-and for
what To install these two gentlemen into
office. One of them held back certain in
formation chat the people should have known
in order to secure an appointment for him
self. No respecting Democrat will tolerate
such methods. REx.

Extent of the Help Which New Eng
land Wives Give.
The women are true helpmeets. Not
only do they do their own work, but
they are able and willing to milk the
COWS and assist with the hay-getting
and in other ways lend hand out of
doors in emergencies. Some of them
even exc out the family income by lit
tie ventures of their own, such as rails
ing hens and bees and gathering and
marketing spruce gum, beechnuts and
blueberries There is no servant girl
problem, because there are no servants.
When sickness or some other real dis
ability necessitates female help in the
household a neighbours daughter is
called in. She is, of course, regarded,
and in every minutest particular treat
ed, as member of the family; it could
not be otherwise. The children are
trained to bear their share of the fam
lily burden, so far as it can be done with
out interfering with their schooling,
and the very school terms are arranged
with view to conflicting as little as
possible with farm work. When the
children grow up many of them go out
into the world to seek their fortunes
(that, within reasonable limits, is
law of nature), but there is nothing
like an exodus of the rising generation,
no approach to a depletion. Plenty of
ambitious, vigorous young men stay
behind to arrange themselves in life as
their fathers did before them, chopping
in the woods winters and tilling the
few acres they have been able to pnr-
chase with their winters savings sum-
mers. Furthermore, there are plenty of
desirable young women happy and
proud TO cast their lots in with the
young men and do their share of the
drudgery necessary to establishing
home. Thus new farms are cleared out
of the woodland and the old farms are
kept up.-Atlantic.

STEERING WITHOUT COMPASS,
Varions Ways of Guiding the Course
of a Vessel.

Sailors steer by the wake of the ship.
When vessel is running free-that is,
with the wind dead astern-she must
leave straight wake or she is not run
ming a straight course. When she is
ION the wind," her canvas full, not
shivering-when she is
AS near as she will lie
BY keeping full and bye
her wake will be at an angle greater or
less according to the force Of the wind
and the speed of the vessel. This an
gle measures what we call the ships
''leeway''-that which she loses from
a true course. With a vessel hove to in
a gale, the leeway becomes very large,
and is called the drift
Coasting craft steer by the line of
white surf on the shore, or in thick
weather by it's roar as it breaks on the
beach or rocks. They haul in to catch
the sound, then keep off until they lose
it, and then haul in again to a central
line and maintain it. An old sea-dog
once told me that one thick night, con-
ing up along the coast with head
wind so they had to tack in and off
shore, they sailed their tacks, or ran
their legs" by understanding off
shore long enough to burn out two
candles, but burning only one for the
shore leg, so as to avoid standing in too
close.
The Alaska steamers on the inside
route between the main coast and nu-
merous outlying islands steer, even in
running through the narrowest chan
'nels, by the varying echoes of the pad
dies from the shores.
A given course can also be run bv
soundings, or, rather, by a line of
soundings. In entering New York har-
Dor, keep in say Is, 20, 40 fathoms, no
less, until you get ten fathoms. If

A REMARKABLE SHIP.
Marvellous Torpedo Destroyer
Oyertake Any Craft Ahoat'

r.-~elou. TOrDedO Destroyer 10
Oyertake Any Craft Anoat'
The British governmentisde termined
- avn q war vessel that shall be the
fastest craft in the world. This mar
velous boat will be torpedo destroyer
and will be able to steam 50 knots al
honr q trife less than SO miles.
The Expression that is the name %
the record now IN process
of construction at the shipyards OF
Laird Bros. at Birkenhead, England
Her engines will be capable OF attain
;no 10. 900 indicated horse power. Inc
tremendous power of this little boat
for she is only $50 tons burden-cin
best be appreciated by considering tne
fact that she will be able to develop
fully as great an engine power as Tue
Renown, battleship OF IL, $3.50 TONS Ut
Express will have as an armament only
one 12-pounder quick-firing gun, hVe
six and three FOUNDER quick-tirlng guns
and two Whitehead torpedoes.
While it is not known with certainty
how the machinery will be arranged or
The exact dimensions thereof, 1T is un-
derstood they will be as follows: Each
set of engines will have four cylinders,
the diameters of which will be: Hlgh
pressure, 1874 inches; intermediate
32H inches. Each engine is of the
three-stage compound type, the stroke
for all cylinders being IS inches.
The construction of the boat with re-
gard to safety, if the plans are carried
ont will be as remarkable as her capac-
itv for speed. She will have all the COM
partments her size will permit, and,
although the ordinary torpedo boat can
be smashed like an eggshell this
destroyer will be armed with a ram
that could pierce the side of battle
ship. AS far as danger to herself is con-
cerned. if battleship or any other
craft should strike her a blow she
would be more likely to turn turtle
than to sink. Her steering apparatus is
of such nature that it will act much
more quickly than that of the ordinary
craft.
The accommodations for officers and
crew will be superior to those in any
torpedo boat destroyer afloat. The
problem of air to the people who live
between the decks has always been very
unsatisfactory in point of solution.
The Express, however, will have vents
for foul air and modes of ingress for
fresh air that will result in supplying
all hands with a full measure of that
which the lungs need so much.
The executive officer, or the captain,
as the case may be, stands on the little
square bridge just abaft the winch
and cons from that point. From the
coming tower and turret combined, on
which the bridge rests, projects the
12-pound, rapid-tire gun. Most Of the
guns, however, are between decks, and
the firing is done through portfolios.
A shot from the 12-pounder, however,
would send the majority of torpedo
boats with all on hoard to Davy Jones
locker, for when torpedo boat sinks
there is, as a rule, small hope for those
who man her.-N. Y. Herald.

THE METRIC SYSTEM.
Its Introduction Would Simplify All
Farm TransactiOns.

Its Introduction Would Simplify All
Farm TransactiOns.
time-honored absurdity is found in
the British corn (grain) markets, says
Texas Farm and Ranch. All kinds of
grain are sold in quarters. If the quar-
ter meant any particular quantity, the
same at all times and with all SUBJ
stances, we could learn to realize what
the term meant. But the weight of
the quarter depends upon what kind
of grain is intended. Ii it is of wheat
from California 500 pounds is one quar-
ter; if the wheat is English grown 5O4
pounds make a quarter; if it should
be Russian barley, 420 pounds are one
quarter; Russian oats are sold in quar-
tiers of 04pounds. Oats from elsewhere.
800 pounds make one quarter; English
and Scotch oats 60 $50 pounds per quar-
ter. Schoolboys are taught that 112
pounds make one hundredweight, 20
hundredweight one ton, and that four
quarters equal one ton. Hence the quar-
ter should be $50 pounds. Much confu-
sion results in this country from read
ing the English corn markets, and no
wonder. And yet we have similar
custom: For instance. 4 bushel of corn
is Sc pounds, u bushel of oats is 80
pounds and a bushel of wheat is 60. The
English paradox is easily explained on
the same principle: the quarter varies
with the specific gravity of the sub
stance weighed. Let us get the beam
out OF our own eyes before we make toe
much ado about the mote in that of on,
neighbor. John Bull.

Both Feet Should Re Used.

1t is fact that many cyclists habit
ually ride right-footed or left-footed
as the case may be. That is, they do
most OF their pedaling with one foot.
1t is fault that should be promptly
corrected, and yet one that it is very
difficult to overcome. 1t is acquired
unconsciously, and is, therefore, hard
to detect and still harder to cure. It
is quite as natural perhaps that the
individuals be right or left footed as
right or left handed, but it is very ap-
parent that the habit of riding in this
way must inevitably lead to unequal
physical development, a result always
to be avoided in every form of athletic
exercise. Furthermore, the one-sided
rider cannot accomplish his full meas
ure of work. An even distribution of
the force exerted in propelling the
wheel is absolutely necessary to riding
the greatest distance at the least possi-

in sight, and I somehow felt safer 70
know she was in his charge. Cruel as
had been her words, he loved her too
well to heed them at such a time.
The afternoon slowly passed away.
What was it that caused such a shadow
of dread to creep over my heart? Some
how, could not shake it off. From time
to time l would steal away from my
other duties into my darling's room,
where everything so reminded me OF
her, picking up the articles she had
thrown round in her careless haste, and
when all was in order, looking for some
thing else to do to detain me in the
spot. Yet would not acknowledge the
real extent and reason of my uneasi.
ness, even to myself, until the sound OF
horses hoofs rapidly nearing the house
suddenly lifted the load had uncon-
sciously been carrying and brought me
with almost cry of thanksgiving to the
window. Yes, there was my darling's
blue habit fluttering in the breeze. She
had returned unhurt, but the excite

"Oh, Nanna,' she exclaimed. II have

know how dearly I loved him."
From time to time low means escaped
her half-parted lips, and l could but
contrast her with the bright, willful
girl who had ridden off a few brief hours
before SO full of hope and happiness.
And then, in broken words, she told the
story. How at a sudden turn in the
road, she had caught sight of Mr.,
Arthur following her, and in very per.
verseness of spirit touched lightly with
her whip the animal which needed re.
straint rather than urging, then turned
her head in the direction of the pits, a
road at any time dangerous, but now.
maddened by the touch of the whip, the
mare had taken the bit between her
teeth, and the little hands clenching
the reins were powerless. Mr.. Arthur
saw her peril, and, putting spurs to his
horse in reckless defiance of harm to
himself, had put him to the leap. en-
deavoring, by leaving the road, to head
her off and seize her rein. 1t was race
for life. A heap of stones lay upon the
road. On one side there was barely
room for single horse to pass. Could
he reach that first, he might save her.
There was no time to question. By an
effort almost superhuman, he directed
his horse to the pass, and seized the
bride which now lay powerless in her
grasp. The mare swerved back, his
own horse plunged, and, in some way,
how, she could not tell, he lay beneath
