I do not advozate less pay to the cook or housemaid, but better wages and more sym- pathy for the etiicient nurse-girl. The woman who commits her little ones to the care of an inefficient girl has no right to the name of mother, and it should be an impossibility for such girls to find places. A good nurse-girl, like a good minister of the gospel, is worthy of her hire, and no minister who believes that “ 0f such is the kingdom of heaven,” will object to the comparison. The children’s nurse is the mother’s best friend, and should receive her respect and consideration, and on her part she must be worthy of her position. It. is said it. is diffi- cult to find good nurse-girls. ThisI grant: although I have heard ladies of experience say that good wages has brought to them efficient, faithful girls; but to make this class ‘ of girls sufiicicnt to supply the lleCtl,-<â€"I say need, instead of demandâ€"a change of senti- I ment is necessary among the mothers. i How often we hear it said, “I pay my ‘ cook three and a half or four dollars. a week. I can onlyafl'ord a dollar and a. half or two dollars for my nurse girl. ” “Consistency, thou art a jewel.” It is a question, which is of the more consequence, ' our dinners or our children ‘: Is it any wonder that poor, untrained lyoung girls, often needing a mother's ctre l themselves, fail to care properly for the chil- . dren under their charge? We found hospit- als to train nurses for our sick. I question ON THE SAULT STE. mm [ Jolly Old Garrett and the Tradition of the fishing season will find scattered about in boats and hotels at little dodger containing these words: 1 l l N0 Fish, No Pay, No Pay, No Fish. GAILROX. Inquiry will elicit the information that the dodger is the unique advertisement of a. jolly old fisherman and guide named Giirron. Translated, it means that he will take any one so inclined out fishing in the rapids, and if his patron does not catch any fish under his management and instruction, he will take no pay for his services. If his patron catches fish, if only one, he can’t. have it unless he pays Garron’s price, which is $3, whetherthe visitor is out ten minutes or all day. Harron's services are always in demand. He has one helper in his canoe. They hand- le the light boat. with long poles, as in no other way can a boat be held or propelled. against the rushing waters of the rapids. The dexterity with which the men handle the boats by poliug is wonderful. They can take their canoes anywhere, sending them with remarkable speed up the swift current, holding them in one spot as still and steady as if they were anchored on an unru‘llcd lake, or letting them go with the turbulent I water, either slowly or rapidly according to 3 the will of the polcnian. ,Garron, who is nearly 70, is a jovial, red-faced little man, full of quaint quips and cranks. He is al- ways ready to bet anything from a cigar to a. $10 bill with any fisherman he takes into his boat on the result of any cast of a fly. “The cigars you git a trout. there l” he will shout as he and his man hold the boat j as dead still as a stone against the tearing current, and he points to a spot where he wants the fisherman to cast. If the fisher- man thinks some other spot a more favor- able one for a cast. and prefers to cast. there, Garron will cxclaim : “All right. Ten dollars to five you don‘t get one l” 7 Perhaps it is not so very queer that- the )Iagic Indian Eye. . The visitor at Sault Ste Marie during the i - , . . . , . . . . . . .

Then he will tell you that the mys- | tery of the Indian eye that seems to look down through ten feet or more of foaming, rushing water and sec whitcfish that would be invisible in five inches of the same water to the white man's eye is a fraud of the most stupendous dimensions. The Whitefish are natural denizens of the still, silent depths of the great lakes. To get from Ilnrnn to Superior tlic=c fish must fight their way up the fierce Sault Ste. Marie Ilapids. In doing this they tra- vel by easy stages. They can brave the rapids out a short. distance at a time, ' when, almost exhausted, they drop into the shelter of the friendly rock 3 that fill the bottom of the rapids. lluddlcd sometimes by the score behind these rocks the white- lisll, if the water is not too deep. can be picked out by the hand of the fisherman, they are so nearly exhausted.

The cunning of the Indian led him long ago to give visiting sportsmen the impression that. he could pen- etrate the depths of the rapids with his gaze and discover the white fish on the bottom.

IN AWFUL SUSPBISB. Conductor Wood‘s Lire Saved in a Way 11m! Seems .tlnios! Miraculous. One hundred feet in the air, with the falls roaring bone; tli him and a heavy train rum- blincr above him, was the position in which “Edison \Voods, a conductor on the d” .\.l. and I. lailroad. found himself last Friday at. midnight. Yet, by a miracle, his life was saved. hlr. \Voods had chargeof the bridge freight train, which hauls the loaded cars from Runs city to the .l clfersouville yards on the way to their northern destination. (bi Friday night. his train consisted of about thirty vars drawn by a Mogul engine. There were two brakeuien beside himstlf, and at midnight. the start was made. Woods was at the front end of the car next to the engine, and was climbing down theladder to step on tho tender. Ilcfove he gained a foothold, how- ever, the laddci, which was an old one. gave way bcncith the wci 1ht. upon it. Like a flash he disappeared tween the cars. and fell through the narrow cross-tics of the bridge. lc‘ortunately he succeeded in grasp- ing with both hands a projecting iron bar, to which he hung while the train passed over him. Mr. \Voods is not a strong man anal before ialf of the train was over his strength was nearly exhausted. He called loudly for assistance, but the roar of the falls and the rumbling of the tr. in drowned his cries, and it is doubtful if a man passing on the. footway could have heard him. Several times he was on the point, of recasing his hold. and had he done so his body would have been dashed to pieces on the rocks be low. llut the thought of his wife and child- ren at home, he says, imbued him with ad- ditional strength at the critical moment, and he managed to hold on. When the last car had passed his arms were stiffened and almost numb. Besides, he was so weak that lie could not draw him- self up between the tics, and it seemed as if he had only escaped death under the whccls to meet an equally horrible fall upon the rocks. Just as he had resigned himself to his fate and his still'encd fingers were slipping from the iron bar to which he. held, there \ 'as a football on the pine boards above him. Sev- eral glimmering lights appeared, and a ino- mcnt later he was lifted to the top by strong bands. The other trainnien it appears, had missed him soon after the accident and five minutes later thty had stopped the train and began searching along the train for him. He had probably hung there ten minutes be.- forc they discovch him and had they not; done so just at the moment they did he would Probably have never been found. The brac- ing air s<20ii restored him, and be was able to walk back to the ‘aboosc. It will be Sth‘l‘uI days, however, before he is entirely himself again. ##â€" Some Things at. the Beginning.

She will go into her cellar. and if things are kept; there in quantity, the will make sure they are kept in the right way ; that there is, for instance, a weight. on the top of the pork barrel, if she has pork, that will in: its contents stay under the brine : she wi.l see if the apples are decaying there, and if so, have them picked over, and the bad ones cast. out : Elli? will see if the pzirsiiil-s are under sand, if the onions are in the dry- cst. corner, if the squash are where it is dry and jus'. removed from freezing, and if any of the vegetables are sprouting, in which case they must be put in a dark er spot and used as soon as possible ; she must see that there is some light and a sufficient circulation of air, and that the swinging shelf is well out of the ray of the rat. 1nd free from dust and mould.
