Hudson Bay Tipping Over.

A curious result of the slow changes of level going on at various points of the earths surface has recently been pointed out by an official of the geolog- teal survey. This is gradual tipping up of the shores of Hudson Bay, as if some gigantic power were engaged in an attempt to empty that great basin of water into the adjoining sea. One of the earliest indications of what was going on came to the attention of the officers of commercial company oper- ating in that region, when they found that the water at the mouths of the rivers where their posts are stationed was gradually growing shallower and navigation, consequently becoming more difficult.
 .., Examination shows that the shore is lined with old beaches of sand and gravel lying as high as fifty feet or more above the present level of the bay. When Hendrix Hudson, in 1910, discovered the great body of water that bears his name he wintered with his ships on the east coast of the bay, in harbor which has now disappeared, or, at least, as been so far drained off as no longer to be recognizable from bis description.

Winter q Good Remedy.

There is no remedy of such general application and Tone so easily obtained as water, and yet nine persons out of ten will pass it by in an emergency to seek for something of less efficacy, says the National Magazine. There are but few cases of illness where water should not occupy the highest place as a reme- dial agent.
 A strip of flannel or napkin folded lengthwise and wruug out of hot water and applied around the neck of a child who has croup, will usually bring relief in a few minutes. A towel folded sev- eral times, then quickly wrung out of hot water and immediately applied over the seat of the pain in toothache or neuralgia, will afford prompt relief This treatment in collie works like magic. Cases on record having resist. ed other treatment for hours, have yielded to this treatment in ten min utes. Pieces of cotton batting dipped in hot water, then applied to all sores and new cuts, bruises and sprains is the treatment now generally adopted in hospitals. Hot water taken freely a half-hour before bedtime is an excel lent cathartic in the case of constipa- tiOn, while it has a most soothing ef- feet on the stomach and bowels. This treatment continued for a few months, together with proper attention to diet, will alleviate mild cases of dyspepsia.

A Lost Chance.

The children at the Neghborhood Club were telling their embroidering and sewing teacher of little girl who they thought would be much benefited by course of settlement instruction.
 She's kind of simple, Nora is," said one of Morals acqualntances. "There's lot of things she ought to learn. She doesn't know how to take the best ad- vantages, Miss Marvin"
 "How do you mean, Maggle?" asked the teacher, looking with inward amusement at the sober young face bent over q somewhat grimy square of linen.
 "Well, like this," said Maggie, rais- ing her eyes for moment. "Yester- day she was with me into the provision store, and she was sniffing away at the pineapples, that you can smell any time, and there was piece of venison, that the man hardly ever has, just be- hind her back"

 Are you Miss Blake?'

 "I hope you will excuse me-" he ex- plained. T am here to meet Miss Blake. She is my cousin. have never seen her. My sister Kate is the only member of our family who knows her, and she couldn't come. She told me would know Jennie because she is so pretty.

 The young woman blushed, the young man sighed.

 A tall girl in brown sat beside the girl in blue. She got up and glared at the young man. "She did," said the girl in brown.
 ''Oh, Lord," said he, "are you-"
 q am," said the girl in brown.
 And of course nobody could expect a girl to be friends with a man after that.-New York Sun.
