Abdnllah‘s men, it is said, are deserting wholesaie, and, in default of an Opportunity to engage the Egyptian army, the Kahalifa, beset by intrigue in his own ranks, is losing hope of holding his der- vishes together. The dervishes recently went on a camel raid south of Khartoum. The natives rallied and went in pursuit of their camels, which they recovered after a sharp skirmish. -â€"-Col. Kitchener, brother of the Sirdar, recently found the Khalifa strongly entrench- ed with an army of 30,000 men. The colonel’s force was insufficient to attack so he fell back on Khartoum. This new appearance of the Khalifa. has astonished the British. The latest advices from the Soudan, minimize the strength of his forces, though it has been practically decided to send an expedition finally to dispose of him. Gen. Lord Kitch- ener of Khartoum will shortly make an ex- tended tour of the eastern Seudan, visrting Kassala and Suakim. A squadron of cavalry has been despatched from Omdurman up the White Nile to prevent supplies from being furnished clandestinely to the Khalifa’s camp at Kordofan. â€"At 5.30 Saturday morning, a lamp exploded in the Albion Hotel, Belleville, and the result was that the house is a complete wreck in the interior. Mr. John L. Mc- Guire of Madoc, in whose room the fire start- ed, was just about suffocated by the smoke, when his brother Harry, who slept across the hall, awoke and got him out. On the flat above Messrs. George and James H. Mc- Guire, proprietors of the hotel were asleep. Several boarders and domestics slept there, too, and on being alarmed found escape by the stairs cut ofi. They went down the rope fire escape and the iron fire ladders. Mr. James H. McGuire and one of the boarders, Mr. H. Johston, slid down ropes from the third story, with the female servants of the hotel on their shoulders. Both men had their hands badly cut by the rope. â€"There are many varying forms of death but the strangest occurred Thursday in Toronto. and has perplexed the medical profession. Its like has never been before. David Lewis Custman was, a few days ago, a vigorous young man of 21. Sudden- ly on Monday morhing his nose began to bleed. He consulted Dr. A. R. Pyne. The customary remedies were applied without effect. 'The bleeding continued. Dr. Pyne paid frequent visits to the patient, but instead of his condition imâ€" proving it became worse and worse. Thursday morning at the end of his skill, Dr. Pyne called in Dr. J ames Bray, and the two consulted long about the case. They were perplexed. The continuous bleeding was unaccountable. A sudden change for the worse took place, the blood oozed from every pore in unfortun- ate patient’e body. About three hours be. fore the spirit fled, Custman, because of weakness, became unconscious and re- mained so until death. Asimilar case has never been seen by the doctors. â€"Mr. J. Booth the millionaire Ottawa lumberman and railway magnate has decided to utilized the sawdust that has hitherto gone to waste athis mills on the Chaudiere. A large sawdust-elevating machine has been put in place, and over 100 tons of the material is being taken out of the river daily. Mr. Booth has not fully decided in what manner the sawdust will be used, but in all probability a plant for the manufacture of carbon will be es- tablished.

He was drawing a pension of $8 a month on account of his wounds. He married a second time and the fruit of this union was two children. O'Neill died in 1888 and his wife and children made their home in Capetown. Mrs. O'Neill applied for a pmsion, and on occount of some mixup about the children of the first mar- riage, there was delay in getting her claim allowed. This week she received notice from the commissioner of pensions at Washington that she was allowed 38 a month for herself and $2 a month for each of her children, datinz from 1890. With the notice from the commissioner came two vouchers, one for $1,237.60, back pen‘ sion from 1890, and the other for $12 for pension for the month of February.

Thinking there wasa possibility of the money being around the desk, a carpenter was called in, who moved the counter and at the back of it was found a $1 bill. On the floor was found eight fifties; and when these were produced the teller was the happiest official inthe institution. It is believed that the rats, accustomed to visit the teller’s lunch, which was kept in the drawer, were tempted to carry of? the bundle ofbills, and after getting it on the floor, were unable to drag it down the hole. -Wm.

No trees com- mence to flower and fruit until its vegeta- tive exuberance has been somewhat checked. Those who understand the art of fruit culture thoroughly can biz-inc: these wayward trees into a straighter line of duty by root-pruning them. It is effected by digging a trench around the tree and then filling it up again with the earth that has been thrown out. This cutting off the ends of the roots causes check in the extreme vigor, and the re- sult is the production of flowers instead of branches. The distance from the trunk that the trench should be dug will, of course. depend upon the age and size of the tree, as also its radio of luxuriance; the aim should be to dig so as to cut off about one third of the roots. The pear, as well as other fruit trees, is particularly benefited by root pruning. It can be carried out at any time during the fall or winter season. Feb. One dollar .9. year.
