He noticed gentlemen present who had recently spent some 340,000 in Chicago purchasing live stock, which was shipped to England via Canada and Portland. Cana- dian cattle raisers could kee this trade within their own country if hey studied the subject of blood and ancestry in live stock. Mayor Beaty alluded to the extraordi- nary fact that 100,000 sheep and 50.000 cattle had been sent across the Atlantic this year from Canada. At a reasonable (mimate this would represent three or four llions of dollars, an it showed the vast results which would ultimately accrue if the farmers would only realize the enor- mous advantages cf this trade. Another feature for consideration was that years ago they imported cheese, and now they exported many million dollars‘ worth. Life-sum Service.

Prov1sions are being sent to Ireland for the troops. A large meeting of the land owners and tenant farmers was held at Enniskillen. county of Fermanagh, to-day. Resolutions were passed denouncing the Land League. and calling upon the Govern- . ment topreserve order. The T es says the new Irish Land Bill has, we lieve, been framed with a view of supplementing or re'ppiring certain de- fects which. experience ave shown exist in the land act of 1870, and not-with a view of introducing new principles reversing it. The bill is little likely to satisfy those ‘ friends of Ireland who are engaged in the midnight drilling of deluded asants. The pro movements of the _ying columns ”raise more persuasion with the malcontents, who may be Fenians under new names. than any legislptive measure. A Dublin correspondent says he has authority for stating that the flying columns were found necessary in conse- quence of the. night drilling of ,armed men, the police patrol in many cases having had to avoid the parties drilling. The. attendance at the trials is much, smaller today than on the preceding days. Mr. Law. in concluding his speech, said the principles taught by the members of the Land League had been called Ameri- can principles, but they might be more -' roperly described as red Republicanism or glilnlism. He expressed the hope that when the mischievous new gospel was abandoned, those whom it was now his duty to prosecute would turn their talents to better account for Ireland's sake.

New YORK, Jan. 1.â€"-A London special correspondent telegraphs: Strong rein- forcements’ire being ordered to Natal, and there is not the slightest probability that the Radical demand for the withdrawal of the British forces from the Transvaal will .. be complied with. Thanks to the South 1 African and Afghan outbreaks, it is expected that the army estimates for the coming year will exceed £20,000,000. If the forces of Cape Colony cannot cope with the Boers they meet with more suc. case in the war with the Tambockie rebels, as the Premier at Cape Town telegraphs tonight that the , troops under Commandant Frost and Colonel Wavell have gained asignal victory over the rebels. killing 80. wounding 200, and capturing 8,000 cattle and 500 sheep. One burgher was killed and three Fingoe allies were wounded. The Polos are reported to be quiet. I understand that the Govern- ment fears that the Boers will have ac- quired the mastery in the Transvaal before the‘relief now on the way arrives there. ADurban despatch says it is reported that if troops are sent from Englandto fight the Boers the Dutchmen in the free states will make common cause with the Boers. The News says that beyond a few bo- leagured parties the Transvaal has com- pletely passed out of our hands, and if the nion Jack is flying at Pretoria by April we shall not accuse the troops of sloth. “ Oh, yes, certainly I will.

An ice~house which will answer every purpose can be built for a small sum. and when it is finished it can be filled without y cost except the labor of the farmer and his team. When once properly filled, it is a source of comfort, luxury and even profit all summer. It is next to impossible to make gilt-edge b'utter without it and noth- ing can supply its place upon the table. An ice-house need not be, and shouldnot be, an elaborate or costly affair. A square building which will turn wind and water, properly located. is all that is required, for the secret of keeping ice is much more in packing than in housing it; but good drainage is absolume necessary and so is good ventilation. A pile of ice six feet high, eight feet long and eight feet wide, will make 384 cubic feet, or enough for an ordinary family. If we could get one solid cake of this size and place it on the north side of a buildin where the sun would not strike it, an cover it with sawdust enough to exclude the air from every part, it would keep with out any building or other protection over it, but a house hel tokeep it. Locate your ice-house, ifpossi is, on aside-hill where water cannot stand under it. and on the side of a building which will shut the sun away from it. Build it large enough to give eighteen inches of space between the ice and the boarding on each side. Cut the blocks as smooth ? possible and pack them close together, lling the spaces with ice chopped fine, so as to make a'solid mass. When the pile is complete cover it thickly with sawdust. packing the dust in the spaces at the sides and on the top as completely as it can bedcne. If the ____â€"â€"â€"â€"â€".â€"' _-___.

This leads him to suggest that the manuring of land with absinthe might be fatal to the development of the grape vine phylloxera. During a recent boring for water in the Wimmera district. Victoria, a tree was passed through for a distance of six feet at a_ depth of 250 feet. Several fruit stones were brought to the surface. At some period in the world's history agrove of trees robsbly occupied this spot and the great epth o earth now covering the remains of the vegetation indicates a vast lapse of time since it flourished. From observations made during nearly twenty years in a forest in the J ura. it ap- pears to be provedâ€"first. that when light strikes the ground without being sifted by foliage, it stimulates the production of car- bonic acid in the soil; secondly. that the growth of wood is diminished when the underbrush is so thick and tall as to im- pede the passage of sunlight tothe soil, and to reflex action on the branches of the trees; and thirdly, that mould in too great a thickness becomes inert, and thus re. mains for many years. as in the case with barnyard manure when too deeply buried. The adulteration of tea is can ed on to a surprisin extent. M. Aussen, an eminent French 0 smist. has investigated the sub- ject and made a re rt to the Paris Academy of Sciences. e finds theta great variety of substances are used as adul- terants, such as Prussian blue. indigo. gypsum. chroma“ of lead. arseniate of copper. sulphate of iron.stearite. carbonate of magnesia. plumbagc and kaolin. The Chinese often mix with tea the leaves and flowers of other plants. In bamboos. the flow of sap takes place at the beginning of the rainy season, but vigorous shoots rarel grow before the thunder storms. whic generally precede the harvest. The re idity of their growth increases with the v clones of the storm, amounting to as much as seventy feet within thirty days in some instances. the vegetation being most active during the night. These facts offer a curious condr. mation of the experiments of Dr. Siemens on the influence of electricity upon plant growth. M FATAL TOIOGGANING. Melancholy Accident to Two Montreal Gentlemen.

CHICAGO, 111., Jan. 2.â€"A wholesale and cold-blooded murder occurred one mile south of Otis, Ind., on Friday night. Jae. Augustine and family lived there many years. They were possessed of consider- able property. and generally had a good deal of money in the house. During the afternoon Henry Augustine, nephew of James, came from Chicago to pay them a visit. and tried vainly to get them to drink from a bottle which proves to have contain- ed poisoned whiskey. About 11 o‘clock at night he got up from his bed and sought the bed-room of James Angus. tins, and levelling a revolver began firing. Mrs. Augustine was so badly wounded that she died to-day. James Augustine was shot in the breast. and will probably die. Henry ran from the room after firing several shots. The sons hearing the firing came down. and Christian Augustine de- manded of Henry. whom he met in the kitchen. what it meant. Henry replied with a bullet. which killed Christian in- stantly. He gave a parting shot at the . youn er brother, James. which only made a slig t fiesli wound, and then coolly went to his uncle's room and demanded admis- sion, assuring them that he was all right and wanted to help them. James, the son. got the-revolver from him and put him in the kitchen and locked the door. Henry escaped barefoot and listless. and has not yet been captured. Lynching will probably follow the capture. .- llomrs of Petroleum. Petroleum is the most dangerous sub. stance, when carelessly used. that is manu- factured.
