The Northern Fur Companies.

Latterly all the employees of the
Hudson Bay company were caught
young; only lads born in the solitudes
of the highlands could habituate them
selves to the life Of loneliness; only
constitutions of iron, hardened under
hereditary conditions, could endure so
tremendous strain.
1t may be assumed that the first ad-
venturers consisted chiefly of English
men, although the Scottish invasion of
England had set in with the accession
of King James. But it is certain that
afterward, both with the Hudson Bay
company and its great Canadian rival,
the names of factors, traders and prom
inent partisans, with scarcely an ex-
ception, were Scottish.
The story of trade and discovery in
the northwest reads like a muster roll
of the clans, and mainly of the northern
clans of the second order. There are
MacTavishes, MacGillivrays, McKays,
McLellans, McDougalls, with Frasers
and Stuarts and the French Frobishers
A Mackenzie, a Frazer and Thomp-
son gave their names to as many mighty
rivers. That came in the natural course
of things The company found its best
recruiting grounds in the highlands
and enlisted the martial spirit of the
mountaineers for a country where local
feuds were forgotten. Blackwood' s

A shoemaker,s Accounts.

There was a shoemaker / met not
long ago, says writer in Chambers
Journal, who had a most elaborate
method Of keeping his ''books. Against
the wall of his workshop he had large
board erected, which he painted black.
Into this board he used to drive hob
nails, tacks, brass and steel rivets and
other nails used in his trade to repre-
sent work done. For instance, the sol
ling of pair of boots woud be repre-
scented by small piece of leather tack
ed on to the board by means Of brass
rivet, but if the boots were hobnailed,
then hobnail was used instead of the
brass rivet. A steel rivet indicated a
patch on the sole, and patch on the
upper was shown by the addition of a
piece Of thin leather. New boots were
shown drawn in chalk, as were also the
hieroglyphics representing the custom
ers' names.
Some popularity of manner, dress or
surroundings was chosen to indicate
whose account it was. The parson' ac-
count was placed under the rough draw
ing of a church; the curate, who wore
glasses, was represented by sketch of
them couple of circles, one blank
and one with dot in the center, stood
for the postman, who had lost one eye.
A beer barrel was the innkeeper's sign;
the village pump did duty for the milk
man, while the schoolmaster was per-
sonated by the drawing of cane. The
old man was great wag, but he never
had his accounts challenged in spite of
their Ouaintness

A Bush woman.

Close to the wagon we met a bush
woman, one of Indowyoka' s people, re-
duced by starvation to the most enact
ated and pitiable condition Her hus-
band had been killed by lions some days
before, though she herself had escaped
with her life. On her back and shout
ders were the marks where the same
lion had ripped away great strips of
flesh. Long clots of blood had dried on
her body; the wounds had not even
been washed. I gave her some meat,
which she seized upon and at once ate
ravenously. The bones were almost
through her filthy skin her little beady
eyes set close together under low, re-
treating forehead, her fattened nose
and large protruding lips, concealing
what little chin she possessed, gave her
look most uncanny and repellent.
Altogether more like an animal than
q human being, she seemed to me the
lowest type of womankind that it has
ever been my fate to look on. There are
numbers of bushmen and their wives
who live in this miserable condition.

There are some things that the French
do infinitely better than the English,
and one of them is the establishment
of their capital city. No absolute reason
exists why London should not be az
cheerful and beautiful as Paris. The
difference in climate is small, and it is
not wholly to the advantage of the
French metropolis. And if money be q
consideration there is quite as much OF
that commodity in London as in Paris
Some statistics, however, which have
just been published throw an interest
ing ray of light on the cost of keeping
Paris bright and attractive.
1t appears that the title of Vile Lu,
miere is not as well earned as one might
imagine, seeing that there are but 3d.

"a young lady with so glorious a
crown as hers, said, referring to her
whose hat was off, ''has never any hest
tation in uncovering in a public assem-
bly,. The only people who keep their
hats on, you will have noticed, are ED
erly females in state of decay or else
unfortunate women more or less bald

That did ibid it at once In
twinkling the hat in front came off,
disclosing, as the owner knew it would,
a wealth of beautiful lovelocks, pro-
claiming in pride their superiority to
any or every other head in the theater
The young man seemed dazed for mo-
ment with the light that flooded from
the stage that his eyes now saw for the
first time that evening. Gathering him
self together, he leaned forward to the
lady and gently whispered, "Thank
you" then settled down in content
ment to enjoy the play, but in the dark

sincerity Of gratitude that my fingers

There is no moral know Of to this

by some of his old acquaintance to an
eastern Maine paper of how he once
made his will. 1t happened to be done
at time when the old man was in one

moods, and, realizing no doubt the I'M

he would bequeath to his seven sons

Concerninp Appendicitis,

DR.. H R. Lemen of Alton, Ills, says:
81 often meet people who have such a
wholesome fear Of appendicitis that they
do not eat grapes, tomatoes, figs or
fruits containing little seeds because of
a fear that these seeds will lodge in the
appendix and cause appendicitis.
whenever | hear a person say he
denies himself fruits because of this
fear take occasion to assure him that
it is useless to take any such precau-
tions. If you like fruit, eat 1t, for APP
pendicitis, seven in ten instances, is
due to other things than seeds. Little
particles of food Of any kind can lodge
in the appendix and produce appendi-
citis, even a bread crumb being capable
of it. In addition, a great many cases
are caused by something entirely out
side the appendix, something causing
the Inflammation.
"To all 1 would say, GO ahead and
eat anything you like, for all precau-
tions you may take are not going to
save you from appendicitis if you are
going to have it. The inexplicable
things to which the majority of cases
are attributable cannot be guarded
against, and it is useless to fight the
minority"

Others stepping with aplomb,
And steady Is the patter and the clatter Of the

Sweeping lines in evolution, fast the wheeling
columns come,
And a thousand men are stepping to the tap
ping of the drum.
There are countenances glum,
There are senses dull and numb,
But a boy is stepping proudly there, he's play
ing on the drum.
Tho rage and roar Of battle, and the rattle of
drum,
The shrapnel shot are flying with zipI and a

Cruel shells exploding come,
And the bullets hiss and hum,
But drum still echoes loudly. Will the thing

The storm of death Is ended and displayed the

There is blood, and both are dumb.

when the boy gave yell and said the
cat was dead, 1t had been chloroform-

The doctor knew that the demise Of
the pet would kill his hopes with the
mistress. He had only one alternative,
artificial respiration. and Selling the
forepaws he set to work. In ten min
