AFTER lllAllY YEARS. A Nova. Sootia Sailor Returns to Find His Wife Married Again- lfils Trinity-five Years 0." Excliin: Adven- Inre. Nestling in a quiet and pretty dell between two parallel ranges of gently sloping hills that overlook a wide expanse of sea, lies the once busy mining village of Thorburn, . N.S., though of recent years it presents a somewhat shabby and antiquated appear- ance. The town is di"idcd into two sec- tions, the northern and the southern; In. the former reside the business men and cisco, and embarked on a. vessel bound for New Zealand. A‘fter twelve days at sea We encountered a terrible gale. We were driven out of our reckoning, and could do nothing but scud before the storm. On the third day we found ourselves close to land, to which we were rapidly drifting, when within half a mile of the shore the vessel struck on the SLDdS. The sea. broke over her with such force that every moment we expected her to go to pieces. “Our only hope now was the boats. One was launched, containing all the crew. Soon it was swamped. I was hurled toward upon the bench, the only survivor of all on board. Further down the beach I found the boat with one oar.

The town has no railway communication. There are no places of amusement. Life is a round of monotony. At the north end of the town is the union store, with a broad and spacious platform l in front, where men and boys, after a day of‘weary toll in the dusky minc,assemble to talk and smoke. ‘ Some days ago this quiet village was thrown into a ferment of excitement by a romantic occurrence. After a quarter of a century a husband returned to the woman , he had deserted, to find that in his absence she had become the wife of another, and that she spurned the prodigal. A \VEALTIIY FARMER.

In the dis- iance was another island. On the following day I launched the boat and started for the wreck. Reaching her, I satisfied my hun- ger. In the cabin I found the captain’s rifle and spyglass, which I put in the boat. I rigged a sail in the boat, and took apair of loars, supply of provisions and water and returned to the shore. Looking toward the other island I saw what seemed to be naked savages upon it. The terror of can- nibalism made mo quit the island and take the chances of the sea. About half way be- twecn the island and the wreck I saw a dozen canoes manned by savages. In a moment they were in hot pursuit and rapid- ly gaining on me.

I believe that the moose, although the flesh of 2,000 of them is required to supply the military stations in the territory alone with fresh meat every year, is as plentiful to- day in its wild retreats as it has been at any time since the great inroads of fur andpelt hunters were begun in the territory. “I know no reason why the grizzly bear of the Manitoba Rockies should grow so much larger than the grizzly of the same mountains in the States, but a long and varied experience in hunting these animals in their respective localities has proved to me that such is the fact.

At her father's death I his daughter Annie came into possession of i some property and a considerable portion of money. She was agay and beautiful girl, on whom fortune secmed to smile. For few was life more promising. Men of wealth and position sought her hand in marriage, but were rejected. She formed an early attaahnient fora seafaring man named Habaldt, and, despite entreaties of friends and relatives, wedded him. Ha- baldt is of Dutch descent, was born at Marie Joseph, Halifax County, and was; second officer of a coasting vessel. Beyond | a. handsome face and robust body, he pos- sessed few personal attract-ions. For two years after their union they lived happily together, but the love he! formerly professed gradually grew colder. ' Habaldt fell a. victim to intemperancc ; his l conduct became harsh and tyrannical; he. would extort money under various pre- tences, to recklessly squander it with dis- solute companions. \Vhen he had succeed- unfortunate victim he forsook her, leaving ‘ her to provide for herself and helpless babe 1 as best she could.

Baffled in their attempt to over- take me, they turned their attention to the wreck. I could see the savages clamber- ing over the rail of the deck. Four days later I was picked up by a French trading Vessel and at last was carried to Marseilles where I took a vessel bound for Baltimore. OUT WEST AGAIN. “Subsequently I went out \Vest again, and began work in the silver mines. But the recent crash came, and this spring I returned to the East. In Halifax I enquired for my wife of twenty-five years ago, and was told that she and our son were living in Thorburn, Pictou county, and that my wife was again married. I discredited the story. I was anxious to see my boy, who, when I left home, was an infant in his mother’s arms. So I mustered up courage and went to Thorburn. To my sorrow, I found that she had really married again, and that my wife would have none of me now, her first and living husband. Perhaps I deserve my fate.” - Habaldt’s erstwhile Wife is comfortably ed in wrest-in the last dollar from hinOff' She perSiSbS in the refusal do have g ianything to do With her wandering first cold hands and feet and chilled legs needs And whoa ho shakes thosc fists or his, good-bye to every care, _ No matter what our trouble is, when he begins to coo, 01d gran‘ma laughs.

I Baby Clothes- The hardening process, so called, ofslight clothing and. exposed legsâ€"the low necks and short sleeves of our grandmothers are - fortunately out of fashionâ€" is a dangerous one in this climate, and those who practice it should clearly understand that a child so treated may be entirely free from colds, yet suffer from the effects of insufficient clothing in the form of less vigorous growth. On the other hand, writes Dr. Townsend in the Mother's Nursery Guide, we must by all means avoid the opposite extreme of too much clothing, oppressing the baby by its Weight as well as by its excessive warmth. This, unfortunately, is a common mistake. Such babies are too warm, they perspire frequently, have frequent heat rashes and - are particularly liable to take cold. Avoid the two extremes ; the baby with husband, who twenty-five years before de- more protectmn ; the baby frequently hob sorted her. W Interesting to housekeepers.

But it was no uncommon thing in tbe-parmy days of grizzly bears in Manitoba for the hunter or trapper to be confronted by one of V THESE MON ST ERS, nine feet in length and with a bulk of 1,500 pounds or more. I have seen Manitoba grizzlies that, when they threw themselves on their haunches and rose erect, towered five and six feet above me, and I want to tell you that it takes a man with large quantity and the best quality of nerve to stand in their tremendous presence and pre- pare to do battle coolly and with a level head. Grizzly bears, like all the rest of the bear family, have the curious habit of rising against a tree, and, reaching up as' far as they can with their forepaws, making marks in the bark by digging it with their claws. I have. more than once come across these measuring marks of a grizzly, as the marks on the bark are called, twelve feet above the ground. Imagine coming sudden- ly upon a beast like that, in some deep ravine or isolated spot almost impassable owing to the down timber heaped and tangled on the ground and surrounded by rocks and thick underbi‘ush. The sight of his great jaws, open and red,and his eyes flashing in fury at you from the enormous head that towers so far above you, is some- thing only to be appreciatedwhen once seen. \Vhen there were buffaloes on the plains, Manitoba grizzly bears were keen and per- sistent hunters of them. When a grizzly and a buffalo met there was sure to be a fear- ful contest, although it seldom lasted long nurse will say there is need ofa tightly pin- ned binder to prevent rupture. The answer is that the tightly pinned binder is more liable to cause rupture, and for these rea- tence by a faithless husband, she was four year ago the senior member of the firm thrown on an unsympathetic world. She commenced business as a soap manufacturer left her native town of Thorburn; went to in Hamilton, with a thorough knowledge Halifax and secured employment in a pri- 0f the business, having had a practical ex- eight technical railway SChOOIS: 0f WlliCh and the buffalo was usually the victim.

Five years after Habaldt’s desertion occurred the great August gale, which strewed the sea with wreckage. The ship in which Halbadt was known to sail was lost and all the crew were supposed to have found a watery grave. Satisfied that her husband was no more, the woman was again free to marry. She made the acquaintance of T. Butler, a workingman, nearly thirty years her senior and they were married. Butler is a brother of the late James Butler, one of the weathi- est merchants in Halifax, and for many years president of the Legislative Council here. Five years ago they removed to Thorburu, where they still reside. But now the supposed-to~bc-dead Habaldt returns! He was not received with open arms by the woman he had deserted. She upbraided him for his misconduct. Not- withstanding his promise to restore the money he robbed her of, she obduratcly re- fused to recognize him as her lawful hus band, and bade him begonc, and drove him- from her bumble house. To recount Habaldt’s wanderings and the many vicissitudes of those twenty-five years would exhaust a volume. He thus himself tells the story, which sounds something like a sailor’s “yarn,” but he stoutly asserts it’s all true : 1113 STORY. “ I was born in Halifax County,” he told the newspaper correspondent, “and was bred at sea. My life has been an eventful lperience of about fifteen years in Scotland ' and the United States. The beginning I was on a small scale,butby indomitable per- I.sevcrence difficulties were overcome, and trade steadily increased. Twenty years ago i their “Victor” brand was placed on the 1 market, being the first wrapped soap in Canada. It proved a grand success, bring- ing the firm into note as manufacturers of the highest grade of laundry soaps; this brand is still one of their leaders. Seven years later their “ N. P.” brand, now a household word from ocean to ocean, was placed on the market, being the first three- pound bar in Canada, and still holding the lead. Their latest production is the “Wide ' AWake,”a line destined to surpass anything ever attempted for a general purpose soap. It contains a combination of washing in- gredients recently discovered by the senior member of the firm, which for every use is simply marvellous. It excells as a laundry for all classes of goods, while for the bath and toilet it is perfection, as it leaves the skin with a pleasant sensation, unlike the large majority of soaps. Messrs. Morton &. Sons are placing this brand of soap before the public, feeling assured its merits will soon win for them the commendation of every thrifty. housekeeper in Canada. «w»-- -r-â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"-- The Parcelling Out of Africa.

Now when a baby takes deep breaths, as if in crying, the bowels naturally move up and down. If this movement is hindered by the tight binder, the bowels seek some outlet, and may be forced down through the canals in the groins, causing a rupture. Where there is a tendency to rupture at the nave1,thc ordinary tight binder although not aiding in it is sufficient to prevent rup- ture : The :pinning blanket has several serious faults. In the first place it generally covers the chest with cotton or linen instead of wool, although the latter is sometimes used. In the second place, it requires to be pinned ; ml given a garment to be pinned, and a woman to pin it,the occupant of the garment is sure to suffer from com- pression, which is generally greater the greater the woman’s iieatness. ' The pinning blanket offers a special in- ducement to tight pinning from the fact that it is otherwise liable to slip down hav- ing not-hing over the shoulders to hold it up. The average woman is, I think, incapable of realizing the tightness of a garment, being always used to a tight garment her- self, “Y “E Commlufica‘tion' . on its hi and u l foe.
