shivers Tries Heroic Treatment.

"JTm-m-m!" said Mr.. Shivvers,
| thoughtfully, laying down his paper.
II believe there is something in that"
I'm what" asked Mrs Shivvers.
why, in their Health Hints for the
Helpless they say that the reaction
and after-glow of cold morning baths
is an infailible cure for neuralgia and
rheumatism. explained Mr.. Shivvers.
Gold water right out of the spigot,
without any warm water at all?" cried
Mrs. Shivvsrs.
Certainly" replied Mr.. Shivvers.
"O-o-o-oh! couldn't" shuddered
Mrs. Shivvers.
Mr.. Shivvers smiled a superior smile.
"Of course it is rather heroic treat
ment, and requires considerable moral
as we'll as physical courage, but to a
man convinced of it's efficacy that is of
no consequence he said, complacently,
land certainly shall give it fair
trial. Besides" he continued, fortify-
ing his sudden resolution, sit is not one
sudden freezing plunge, but gradual
immersion while you very slowly count
six. Like this: one, and you put in
one foot: two, you put in the other:
three, you sink upon one knee; four,
you kneel on both; five, you plunge in
your arms and six you immerse your
body. So, after all, it is not SO very
dreadful. Yes 1 shall certainly try it
tomorrow morning."
However, Mr. Shivvers did not seem
SO enthusiastic in the morning. His
wife let the cold water run, according
to his instructions, until the tub was
full to overf1owing, but, in spite of re-
iterated information to that effect, he
still fingered in bed.
Jeremiah cried Mrs. Shivvers at
last, from the bureau, where she was
doing UP her hair this is the eleventh
time I've called you, and you just must
get up. You'll be late for breakfast
as it is. You needn't try that bath if
you are afraid of it," she added, with
a laugh.
Slowly and reluctantly Mr. Shivvers
crept out from under the warm covers,
silently casting look full of reproach
upon his smiling spouse, and into the
bath room, with the laggard step of one
who has something weighing upon his
mind. Then there was a long, very
long, wait Nor was it until his wife
had several times exhorted him to
Hurry up, Jeremiah!" that she heard
him say.
'O-o-o-one. Ouch! Goshi''
Then there was another wait, and an
other exhortation.
"T-t-t-t-t-twoooo. Ow-ow -ow- -wow!'
Another wait and exhortation.

into bed, and rolled itself tightly up
in the covers.

The Finnish Emigration to Canada.

A striking Illustration of the accuracy
of the information 1 was able to supply
some weeks ago as to the existence of a
widespread movement of emigration
from Finland to Canada was afforded
by the passage across England a day or
two ago of over a hundred Finlanders
bound for their new Canadian home.
But from a private source I learn that
this does not by any means represent
the dimensions which the movement
has already attained. Some eight or
ten days ago 500 Finlanders said good
by to their native land, and the en-
pire of the Car is SO much the poorer
and the empire of the Queen is so much
the richer. for the Finn is an ideal
colonist in many ways, and Will give
valuable assistance in developing the
immense resources of Canada and pos
sibly also of Newfoundland. How far
this movement of emigration may ex-
tend depends very much on the events
of the next few weeks and months. #
the Czar listens to the voice of reason
and humanity, as it is expressed in the
practically unanimous opinion of the
civilized world, he nay yet arrest the
movement at the price Of restoring to
Finland the constitutional rights of
which his recent proclamation has
robbed her. 1t is not an easy thing to
do, for some of his most trusted adj
visers are the prime movers in the poll
icy which has for it's principal object
the introduction of rigid uniformity all
over Russia in every department of
life.
There can be no doubt that the man
ner in which the Finlanders are meet
ing this new departure is extremely en-
barrassing to the Russian Government
especially on the eve of the meeting Of
the Peace Congress. Far from offering
any violent resistance, and SO affordina
an opportunity fer repressives measures,
they are taking, steps to make their

County Hospital, in April last, has
escaped the gallows, but he will prob

The jury before whom he was tried
retired little before o'clock yester-
day and after celebrating for three
hours returned a verdict of guilty Of
manslaughter. The story Of the trag-
edy has been often told.
The convicted man is about 20 years
of age, and AN average sentence even
for manslaughter will probably cover
