Ottawa, Ontario, Jan. 2t.--It is said
on good authority that there is little
prospect OF the Canadian governments
following the action OF the United

The Sign Was RuinOus.

A member of the colored race who
presides over the destinies of barber
shop in West Philadelphia is looking
for a former customer who recently
played rather mean joke upon him.
The customer in question was shaved
regularly at the colored mans shop,
and the proprietor held his opinion and
advice in good regard. One morning
the boss of the shop wanted new and
high toned sign TO hang over the door,
and he appealed to the aforesaid Gus
toner for an idea. The customers wit
was ready, and several days after the
following sign was discovered hanging
from the shop: "Tonsorial Abattoir."
The next day the regular customer
passed the shop and noticed the fol-
lowing over the door: Barber Shop"
The proprietor is waiting for the reg
ular customer, and the regular custom
err is waiting for little collection of
excitement to blow over.-Philadelphia

sared.

Won Siemens applied for his first pat
emit from the cell of prison. After
graduation from the artillery school in
Berlin the young man, then only twen-
ty-one years old, was attached to a reg
lment in Wittenberg. 1t was there he
began his experiments, to the great
horror of his landlady, who upbraided
linn day after day for staining his
clothes, furniture and the window
panes with gold, silver and acid spots.
She could not see the use of wasting
money for such things" But Won Sic
mems went on with his experiments
and with staining his furniture and
clothes.
He became, too, the life of the garri-
son and one of its most popular MEN,
bers. His popularity, however, led to
his taking part as second in duel be-
tween two of his comrades. AS re-
suit he was sentenced to five years I'M
prisonment in the fortress of Magde-
burg The landlady was the only per-
son in Wittenberg who was glad of the
young lieutenant's departure. In the
cell in the fortress, however, he was al
lowed to fit up a laboratory and there
continue his experiments. There, too,
a month after his Incarceration he per-
fected his method of galvanic gliding
and applied for the patent from the
prison cell.
1t was granted and with it pardon.
A pardon in all probability was never
received with less glee. Siemens had
other experiments under way in his
prison workshop and begged to be al
lowed to stay awhile longer and COM
plete them. But the keeper sent him
away with the declaration that such
course would be an insult to his king
and commander.

A HUNTING INCIDENT.
GLEASON L. ARCHER.

A solitory figure stands there in the
shadow OF low- hanging spruce. He has
been there for some time. He shifts I'M
easily from one foot to the other, props
his gun against tree trunk and chafes
his hands briskIy. 1t is a chilly morning

out such morning." mutters the soil
tary sentinel halt audibly; "there's no
game here, I might as well be back in
camp with the others. Well, few min
utes more, and I'll give 1t up"
Minutes pass and daylight steals deeper
into the forest shadows. The east
brightens and the canopy of branches
overhead loses sonnet hing Of its ghostli-
ness. The hunter stirs. 1t is time to
start back to camp.
But harkl What was that sound? He
grasps his gun and listens intently. Yes,
there it is again. There can be no mis-
take. 1t must be some large animal and
it is coming toward him. A silence, a
pause, and now the strange sounds are
resumed. Footsteps draw rapidly nearer.
The crunch, crunch in the frozen leaves
grows louder and clearer at each tepe-
tition. His long vigil is to be at last re-
warded.
The huuter is filled with fiuttering ex-
element. He drops cautiously to one
knee, taking great care to avoid the
slig htest sound.
"Confound those leaves; how they
crackle!"
Settled at last, and partially screened
by the tree trunk, he waits In breathless
eagerness; rife leveled, sights adjusted,
finger on the trigger.
A large deer with magnificent antlers
pops around the turn in the brushd filled
path. Three jets of smoke in rapid sue
cession. Three sharp reports from the
hunters rife, and the next instant the
swift-receding chatter of horn and hoof
as the frightened buck plunges madly
away through the tangled brushwood.

ing blankly at the swaying branches.

When the tent flap fell behind him
the pistol dropped from her trembling
