The country of the Little Saguenay
Is as rough as any part of the Rocky
mountains. 1t is the custom to dress
lightly for travelling, Notwithstanding
the 20 degrees below zero, and even
then II perspires very freely, making
it impossible to stop long for a rest, on
account of the chill of the open pores.
Ice forms on eyebrow, hair and mus
tache, while the sweat frNzes in scales
on the back of ones neck. The snow
tails from the trees on the voyager, and,
melting slightly from the heat of the
body, forms cakes of ice. Shades of
Nansen and ali the arctic men! 1 do
not understand why they are not all
pillars of ice unless it be hat there are
no trees to dump snow on them.
The spruce II hemlock of these
parts all point upward as straight as
one could set a lance, to resist the con-
slant fall of snow. If one leaned ever
so little out of the perpendicular, it
could not survive the tremendous aver
age of 80 feet of snowfall each winter.
Their branches, too, do not grow long,
else they would snap under the weight.
Every needle on the evergreens has its
little burden of white, and without in
Permission the snow comes sitting down
from the sky through the hush of the
winter.
When we stopped and the creak of
the snowshoes was still, we could al
most hear u hearts beat. We could
certainly hear the cracking of the to-
bacco burning in our pipes. 1t had a
soothing, an almost seductive, influence,
that mutfle of snow. So solemn is it, so
little you feel yourself, that it is II con-
seriousness which brings unconscious
ness, and the calm white forest. is al
most deadening in its beauty. The win
ter forest means death. -Frederic Rem
ington in Harper's.

frog does not hibernate in leaves or the
trunks Of trees, but in n dry hole in the
ground not likely to freeze. He scratches
the hole with his hind feet and enters
backward. Once inside, there 10 appar-

A STORY OF A FRENCH SERVANT

| A STORY OF A FRENCH SERVANT.
Marie Anne de Bore, in talking about
the absolute hopelessness of trying to
reason with servants, tells a good little
tale that 1 am sure every woman with
any sort of a servant will appreciate.
A friend Of Mile. de Boret's, who
wrote very clever novels, was trying to
explain to new femme de chambre that
she must not come and interrupt her at
every other moment, as she was fond of
doing.
'NoW, when you are sewing" she said,
land you are called away from your
work, you can go back and take it up
just at the stitch where you left it, But
if I am disturbed in my writing, can t
pick up again the thread of my thought
in that way. You understand don't
you?" The girl said she understood,
and went off. Pretty soon she was
back again. What is it, Marie?" asked
her mistress. "Well, madame" said
the maid, fumbling awkwardly at her
apron, ''if I don't know how to do any,
thing but sew, it's because 1 was never
taught to do anything but sew. If I'd
been taught to write books, I could
write books"
The writer of novels said no more

which is generally so Indispensable on
our globe. But such world would be
totally different from that world which
we know. Under present conditions the
significance and Importance of calcium
in our economy can hardly be overestl-
mated.
Attention has been drawn to the i'm
portance of calcium on the earth; we
have now to add that this same element
appears to be most widely distributed
among the various bodies in the uni
verse. Among the most remarkable
features in the Photographic spectrum
of the sun are two very broad and very
dark and very conspicuous lines. In
every photograph of the ultra violet
light of the sun these lines stand forth
so boldly as to arrest attention more
than any other feature of the spectrum.
1t had been known that these lines were
due to calcium, but there We're certain
difficulties connected with their inter-
probation. Some recent researches by
Sir William and Lady Higgins have
cleared away all doubts. 1t is now GER
tain that the presence of these lines in
a spectrum demonstrates that the re-
markable element which enters into the
composition Of lime on this earth is also
in the sun. These same lines have, in
deed, been detected in the Photographic
spectrum of many other bodies. Thus
the interesting fact is established that
this particular element which plays
part so remarkable on cur earth is not
peculiar to our globe, but that it is diff
fused far and wide throughout the uni
verse.-Sir Robert Ball in the Humani-
tartan.

CALCIUM IN THE EARTH AND
sim.

Though lime, in it's many forms, is one
| of the most ordinary substances met
with on this earth, yet the essential ell
ement which goes to the composition of
lime is not by any means familiar
body. As is well known to every one
who has learned any chemistry, lime is
the result of the union between oxygen
gas and the metal calcium. This very
remarkable element, calcium, is, how
ever, never found in nature unless in
such intimate chemical union with these
other element like oxygen or chlorine
that the characteristic properties of the
metal are disguised. To see calcium it.
self you must go to the chemical labo-
1atory, where by ingenious processes
the shy element is temporarily divorced
from it's union with the oxygen or other
body for which it has so eager an affin-
ity.
Though most of us have never seen a
particle Of calcium, it may well be
doubted whether there is any element
more important to the economy of this
earth or more widely distributed over
it, Calcium abOunds in every soil.
Calcium is in the waters of the sea-
The cup of spring water owes much of
it's invigorating freshness to the calci-
UNI which it holds in solution. The
white cliffs which have given the name
of Albion are but ane Of the many
forms of calcium.
Try to imagine what this Garth would
he like If calcium were withdrawn. The
birds could not lay eggs. The sea could
produce no shells Man and other ami
mails would need to have bones very
different from those which they at pres
ent possess. Buildings would in great
part vanish. Even the hills and noun
tains would to a considerable extent
disappear. Probably very large part
of the total mass of this earth would
be taken away if all the calcium were
to he removed,
Without calcium a world inhabited in
the same manner as our present abode
would be clearly impossible. There are,
it may be, lowly organisms on this
earth to which calcium is apparently of
no appreciable consequence, and it is
conceivable that world of living types
of some kind could be constructed with
out the aid of that particular element

Foot Guards Talk of Another Trip Than
the Paris Exposition One.
The Foot Guards held very salts
factory drill at the armory last even
ing, about one hundred men being pres
ent, and the manual of arms was gone
through in an interesting way. After
the drill Messrs. Law and Shuster We're
admitted to membership, after which a
light lunch, with cigars, was enjoyed
by the company. At the meeting sug
gestions were made as to a trip other
than to the Paris exposition, to take
place some time this year, and they
were favorably received. No definite
action was taken, however, and what
the trip will be will be decided later.
The regular drill of the Horse Guards
was also held last evening and at It's
conclusion the ball committee held
short session. There is talk of not Civ
ing the ball in honor of the governor
and his staff as proposed, but nothing
definite has yet been decided upon.

celVed only three blows, but two Of
these were "straighteners. His duck
ing and side-stepping were better than
at any previous stage.
The tenth, however, showed a sur
prising reversal of FORM being all for
Connelley. He seemed to hit at will on
the get away, and had the best of sew
eral sharp exchanges in this round, and
at the close of the eleventh Sullivan
was indebted to the bell for chance to
continue. The same was true in the
succeeding round. The referee began to
walk between the men to make them
break. The audience began to clamor
for Connelley to finish his man, and in
the thirteenth round he seemed about to
do it, The fourteenth found Connelley
on his man like a carpenter shingling
roof. 1t seemed only a question of
time when the game Spike" would go
out. The fifteenth found Spike" AFT
tie better, but the round was practical"
ly a repetition of the one just before.
Sullivan continued to improve slightly
in the sixteenth, but his condition still
seemed much the worse of the two.
The seventeenth found Spike" better
than at any previous stage. Each man
slipped to his knees In this round but
got up without waiting for the count
Connelley's fighting was none too clean
in clinches. and the crowd signified its
disapproval. The eighteenth found
Spike" ducking repeatedly, instead Of
countering, as he had done the few
rounds before. This was also his policy
in the nineteenth, with few clincAes
to vary the monotony. The twentieth
looked yet more like Eddie's, but the
referee, Jack Sheehan of Boston, called
it a draw, giving general dis isfact Oh.
The large crowd, however, got the best
value for its money that has ever been
offered in this city in this line.

course and he fell headlong over per-
pendicular wall Of rock striking the
earth fully twenty feet below
With a feeling of relief and satisfac-
ton 1 lowered my gun, but to my COM
plete surprise, through the heavy
growth of bushes, with snort and a
whiff, rushed the grizzly which I had
felt confident lay dead at the foot of the
bluff. So startled was L at the indie
scribably wild and fearless manner of
his charge that for the first time in my
life a doubt crossed my mind of the
killing power of a forty-caliber rifle,
and l realized the extreme danger of my
position.
The situation demanded instant ac-
ton. When he was within twenty feet
of me I braced myself for supreme
effort, took quick aim, fired, and he lay
dead twelve feet from me, the bullet
having entered the brain just over the
eye.
But there was still something break
ing down the bushes above me, and J.
stood with rifle ready.To my great sur
prise, another bear soon appeared, roll
ing slowly over and over down the steep
incline between me and the rocky wall
1t was the bear that had tulnbled over
the bluff, and by his fall had pushed
out the second bear, which I supposed
was charging me with vengeance in his
eye.
My faith in my rifle was restored, and

ings concerning the power of forty
