Some of the' Really Ugly Wooers-- Some of Them Were Really of He pellant Homliness, "No women worthy of the name," wrote one of the lovelie st Jadies in Loudon society recently, "really cares a bruss farthing whether the man sha honors with her hand is handsome or ugly, so long as he possesses the manly qualities of brains, physieal strength, hanor, and so on which "make such a powerful appeal to our SOX. And certainly history supports this rather unconventional view, for many of the plainest men of whom we have any record have not only won pretty and well-dowered brides, but have been able to pick and choose among the fairest, lo the confusion of the#r more well-favored rivals. Was there ever a plainer wooer, we wonder, than John Wilkes, the fam- ous champion of popular liberties, and one of the most dissolute roues of hix day? Bo ugly was Wilkes that the very children ran away shrieking at sight of him in the streets; and yet such was the spell he cast over wo- men that "ladies of beauty and fash- ion vied with each other for his no- tice, whila men of handsome exterior nd 4ll eourtly graces looked envious. ly and impotently on" "Give me a quarter of an hours start," he used to boast, "and 1 will win any lady's hand against the handsomest man in England." And he eould have done it, too. There were few 'auties, however fair or highly placed, whose hands could not have been hig for the asking; and in the very early 'twenties he won for his wife one of the loveliest heiresses of the time---a lady who refused more than one coronet to be his bride *" 'Beauty and the Beast," they call us," ~ Wilkes once said to a friend; "and really I cannot find fault with the description." trougham, the great Lord Chanecel- lor, was a man of almost repellent without a solitary 'compen. sating grace of 'speech or manner. Conscious of his unattractiveness he shunned ladies' society as he might have shunned the plague. And what was the result? The ladiés--the most lovely and aristocratic $n the land--- simply mobbed the "ugly Sawyer," and were as proud to win a smile from him as an offer of a coronet from 'any other man. When anyone asked, "Where Brougham?' the invariable answer was, "Where the ladies are thickest." And sure enough, there he was the more he repelled his fair persecn- tors, the more thiey clustered round him. But' perhaps the most remarkable of all these cases of woman's infatua- tion for ugly men was that of W. Hamilton, a Scotsman of a century and a half ago. Hamilton was not only preternaturally ugly, b t he was terribly deformed. "His gs," we are told, "were drawn up to hi: ears, his arms were twisted bacl ards, and almost every member wis out of joing." In spite of these terrible physical drawbacks Hamilton easily outstrip. ped all the gallants in his district in the, favor of Me ladies. "He might have married any of them for the asking---indeed, it is said several of them actually asked him," says 8 chronicler. But he remained proof 'against all their wiles until after his eightieth birthday, and then he mar- ried a girl of twenty, himself being carried to the altar on. men's shoulders, is Hurled From Battlements, Since 1891 Lord Dunalley, who has just celebrated his sixtieth birthelay, has been representative peer for Ire- land. His lordship after receiving his edueation at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge, began his career in the army by joining the Rifle Brigade. Succeeding his father in 1885 as the fourth baron, he retired and settled down on the family estates in Tipperary. He has twe sons -who are in his old regiment. Lord Dunalley's ancestors, the Prit. ties, come of a fighting stock. The founder of= the family, Col. Henry Prittie, did yeoman service in the cause of Charles I., for which he re- ceived the castle of Dunalley and estates. Here his son sustained a siegs of twenty-one days--after the battle of the Boyne--against the dis- banded goldiers of James 11. History relates that the besiegers eventually effected an entrance and seized the owner, whom they hurled from the battlements, but by miraculous for- tune he éseaped unhurt. A raconteur with a host of anecdotes, Lord Dun- alley tells the following story: An hotelkeeper near New York City is a Frenchman, and his family knows lit tle more about English than he does. His suburban hotel stands in the centre of a square filled with large trees. When the proprietor wanted to call attention to this advant ge he t on his cards, "The most dy tel around New York." The i id tation of the place is beyond reproach, ant the proprietor does not know yet why so many persons smile when they read the line quoted. ------------ Simpson of the "Pericles." Hitherto there has been no more fortunate sea-captain than "Captain Alexander Simpson, the master of the Pericles, which was wrecked recently in Australian seas. It was the proud boast of Captain Bimpson, who has rigen to his present position fro Petals boy, that, although he holds records for speed in sailing ships thm England to Australia, he bad never lost as much as a boat.

Brown, president of the society, in which he pointed out thet litfle had been dong Pe increase the stock of Knowledge réspecting the coal « deposits of the provigee. Mr. Brown's remarks on this poift are interesting. "To my knowledge," said Mr. Jrown, "not oné seam of comimercial value has n discovered in: Cape Breton, or imflved, with perhaps ome :xpeption, iin the Province of Nova Beotia, since the year of Confedera- tion.

The Original Rough Rider. A man who accomplished mich for | Canada, as » of the original band of bustlers connected with the Cana- dian Pacific Railway, passed away in Virginia recently in the person of Geheral Rosser, who was selected as chief engineer by the Smith-8tephen- Angus evndic ite when they obtained the contract for building Canada's first Transcontinental Railway. Gen. Rosser, as chiéf engineer, had charge of the final selection of the route and also of the work of construction-and was very popular in the West, where he appeared to fegl much more at heme than in the East. He is well and affectionately remembered by many of the old-timers. Before com- | ing to Canada, he had heen engaged | on similar work in connection with the Northern Pacific and had already made a reputation for irack-making in the prairie country. Gen. Rosser | was one of the war heroes of the Southern Confederacy, having been of the dashing, irregular cavalry leaders who omplished much won- lers for the Southern cause by raids | wad by brilliant intelligence work. He was af riend and favorite of both Gen. Lee and Stonewall Jackson and entrusted 'by both commanders with many important duties. Such success did he 'and his command af saliant mougited rifles and scouts aséain dar ir the war that it has become cus. ry for United States miliary s to des him as the original an rouch rider. It is said that when Theodore Roosevelt organized iis corps of irregulars during the Cu- ban war, he nsed Rosser's standards for selecting his den, and his methods for training - and equipping them.

A story of the surprising agricul. | sural possibilitics of the Peace River | Valley,* 700 miles north of Edmonton, is told by Robt, Jones, superintendent | of the experimental farm at Fort Ver. | n.ilion, who was recently in Edmon- ton on a trip for supplies.
