Mr. Andrews resolved that this equine madness should be cured,'and the village wiseac‘res set their wits at work upon the problem. One morning in July the proprietor of the stable,\vith the butcher, the blacksmith and the roan horse, appeared on the bank of the canal where the road was wide, the turf soft, and the slope toward the water gentle. The blacksmith was armed with an iron crowbar, and the butcher with his longest, sharpest knife. Mr. Andrews led the horse by a half-inch rope. All the idle men and boys about the main stract hur- ried to the scene. The bar was driven deep Ravel each dropped stitch to the end of the strip.

I like to think that she is your mother-in-love, writes Ruth Ashmorc in a very earnest article. She is your husband’s mother,and therefore yours, for his people have become your people. There have been vulgar jests, ridiculous songs and coarse puns about the husband’s mother ever since any of us can remember, but in how many households is the husband’s mother an angel, not in dis- guise but appreciated and loved? Now,will you take my advice and call her what your husband does? Will you treat her just as you do your own mother, not being afraid to tell her of your little affairs, receiving her as one of your own, and making her feel happy in the fact that she has not lost a son but gained a daughter, and a loving considerate daughter ? Will you remember this, tooâ€"that before you came your hus- band was all iii all to his mother? And sometimes when she comes to see you won’t you leave those two alone, and let them talk together as they did before the two became a trio ?

The butcher sugar and one-lialfcup of lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, strain into a basin, stand where it is cold, not only until the liquid has chilled, but has begun to form. It must be beaten until it is as white as snow before the eggs are added. Beat the whites of three eggs to a still‘,dry froth, beat them into the mixture and whcn thor- oughly mixed, snowy white and stiff, turn into a mold previously wet with cold water. The liquid settles because it is not beaten sulliciently, or is beaten before it begins to form. It must be beaten still and foamy before the eggs are added, and then there is no danger of their rising.

The Dear Old Soul._ The old lady who entered a train at a country station had an anxious face and soon confided to her neighbor the fact that she had but once before been on a railroad train. The lines on her forehead appeared to deepen as the hours west on; and every time the train stopped she inquired : "Is this Montreal 2" “S'posin' this train would be late,” she said; “iuebby Lyddy would think I wa’n’ comin’." “Did you tell her which train you would take?" “Oh, yes :I made sure to tell her to meet me at the Montreal afternoon train. They isn’t more’n one train. is they?” She was calm for a while after the neigh- her bad assured her she would try to help her find Lyddy, but presently she re- marked. “How'll I let ’em know I want so git off at Montreal?" Just then the con- ductor passed and she seized him by the coat sleeve,exclaiming. "Look herc,mister, I’ve got to land in Montreal. \Von’t you please stop the train for me when we git there 3" “All right, soberly. "You’ll not forgit ‘3" “Trust me for that. sure." “Thank you kindly sir," she answered gratefully. “I'm much obliged."

THE COBURG FAMILY. The: Accommodate Themselves )lore Easily Then Any Other Reigning l-‘am fly to Constitutional llonnrcby. From the accession of the Prince of \Vales the British Royal family, by British custom.will be called the Coburgs: and had it been the lot of the little Lady Alexandra Duff, or any future brother of hers, to found a new line, that would have been called the Duffs, alike by historians and by the people, a prospect which inspired no pleasure. The Coburgs are betterliked; they are'supposedmnd so far rightlysupposed,to accommodate themselves more easily than any other reigning family to Constitutional monarchy, they are royal by descent, and they have had the strangest good fortune in their alliances, sa_ 3 the London Specta- tor. _ Within a few years the three greatest thrones in the world,those of Great Britain, Germany, and Russia, will be filled by descendants of the Prince Consort, while seven minor thrones, those of Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Hesse, Saxe-Gotha, Rou- mania, and Bulgariaâ€"one of which two last may reign at Constantinopleâ€"will all be filled by men of Coburg blood. A posi- tion of that kind is a very great though a very peculiar one, and when the change occursâ€"may it be long firstâ€"the English will have no need to explain whence their new dynasty springs or how it got there. The feeling for pedigree, though it is inex- plicable, for after all the founder is usual- ly the greatest of his .line, is permanent, and indestructible; and there was therefore universal pleasure when it was announced that the Duchess of York had been safely delivered of a son, and that the line of Coburg was, humanly speaking,destined to continue. England, some people think, will be a republic before the new baby becomes a. monarch, say fifty years hence ; but dynasties are long-lived. England has been nearer republicauism than she is now, and within the time of men still living a new rampart has built itself around the mon- archy. \Vhen the royal standard is pulled down, the Empire will be pulled down too, and it is the Empire that the people delight in, rather than in any dream of a federation of the, English speaking peoples, which would transfer all political initiative from London to some city across the Atlantic. \Ve do not see why language should be much Ufa bond, and we do see that the Spanish-speaking republics are no friends to Spain. For anything anyone can fore- cast, not only may the newest Coburg reign in Great Britain and India, but his tenth descendant. The hold of the word “repub- lic ” over the imaginations of mankind has not increased of late years,nor the evidenc- that democracy and monarchy are inher- ently incompatible. Imitating Moonlight. The handling of balloons has become part of the regular training of the German sol- dier, and a captive balloon, kept always in readiness for military work, is now a familiar feature of a. German camp. A new arrangement of the electric lightis now being tried. From the captive balloon is suspended an electric arc lamp of some 5,000 candle power. As soon as night he- gins tc fall, the current. carried by an insulated wire, is turned on, and the light is reflected downwards. In this way a large open space is illuminated, without lamp posts, and the evolutions of a body of troops can take place Without impediment by night. An Eye to the Future.

An Electric Man. An English paper tells of a Manchester man who carries on his potion a complete museum of electric appliances, including a burglar-alarmâ€"or, rather, a pickpocket- alarmâ€"system. An attempt to steal his scarf-pin or watch rings a tiny bell ; a. fine platinum coil furnishes the means of light- ing a cigar regardless of the weather ; and an incandescent lamp at the end of a cane furnishes vary good light when needed. The needful electric plant weighs only about twenty-two ounces. Queer Idea of Heaven. In Asliantee no man is ever allowed to see one of the king’s wives, and should he happen, through accident, to get a glimpse of one of the “ sacred creatures” be is forthwith put to death. The law of that country allows the king to have 3,333 “ lielpmeets” and no more.

A FRIGHTFUL MALADY. An Erroneous Impression Exists as to the Cause of Tetanus or Lorkjnw. The death is announced by lockjaw of a lad named Parker Ferrier, son of the principal of Enron street Public school Toronto. The boy gota slight wound in his heel a few weeks ago, caused by a nail in his shoe. Tetanus, or lockjaw, set in and the lad died on Saturday night. An erroneous impression exists among the public as to the cause of this frightful malady. With most people the disease is associated with a rusty nail or other piece of rusty metal piercing the hand, foot or other part of the body. But modern medi- cal science tells another story. There is no danger of a person having lockjaw unless there should be secreted on the nail or splinter a tentauus bacillus, or lockjaw microbe. The discovery of the tetanus bacillus was made in 1885 by the German bacteriologist, Nikolaier. He found that in all cases of death by lockjaw there was A DISTINCT DISEASE can.“ FOUXD. The symptoms of lockjaw are easily recognized. After the little germ has enter- ed upon its work of poisoning the blood, the muscles of the jaws first become stiff, and soon afterward the jaws become tightly locked. After these muscles have become affected, those of the trunk begin to grow stiff; sometimes they grow entirely rigid, and the body is drawn up so that it becomes arched and cannot be reduced to a normal position. The patient is soon after attack- ed with convulsions, during which the suf- ferings are intense. These convulsions become more and more frequent as the disease progresses, and the slightest shock or surprise of any kind, such as touching the bed on which the patient is reposing, will bring them on. The intervals between the attacks grow shorter and shorter, until the victim dies of sheer exhaustion. The clinched jaws prevent the swallowing of food. The disease always follows after a wound of some sort has been inflicted on some part of the body such as may be caused by A SCRATCH 0R SI‘LINTEI: INJURY of the most trifling character. It more frequently follows injury to the hands or feet, because, as the doctors say, these members are brought more commonly in contact with the earth in which this deadly little microbe makes hits home. Recent investigations by medical men have disclosed the fact that more cases of lockjaw occur in the eastern end of Long Island than anywhere else in the world. It was found on examining the soil of that locality that it fairly swarms with busy little lockjaw microbes. It is the presence of the miâ€" crobes in such numbers in the soil that is undoubtedly responsible for the many deaths from that disease on Long Island. The rusty nail theory has been thoroughly exploded. THE RULING PASSION. ' Even in Prison \Vomen Seek to liciuilify Themselves. A writer in an English paper, says that Mrs. Maybrick set the fashion in Waking prison of wearing the Skirt long, that is, with a train, as she was wearing such when she entered the prison. The dresses served out to the convicts are constant sources of annoyance to them, and many an hour is spent touching vp and altering. At Mill- bank, another English prison, some years since, a female convict was discovered to be in possession of three tallow candles, which, if they had not been missed, would no doubt have been utilized as pomade ! One woman created quite a sensation among the femaleconvicts in Waking prison by reason of the brilliancy of the color of her cheeks and lips. One day she became quite friendly with a. young convict to whom she took a. fancy, and during the ten minutes’ chat (female convicts are allowed to converse with each other for this allotted time) she confided thc secret. It was soon all over the prison, and very soon on most ll Poets’ Cor. 7...! \'. \\\\\~\-\\\-\~“\\\\\‘~ ~\\‘N Lovers Still.
