W ALL ABOUT A SEIZURE. A Yankee Skipper Leys His Gese Before Uncle Sam. E803 MANDS SATISFACTION. A Washington despatch says : Capt White, of the United States fishery vessel Rapid Transit, of Gloucester, Mass, part of whose cargo was recently thrown over- board by the Newfoundland authorities under the new Bait Act, has made his official statement to the Secretary of State. The following are some of the vital parts of it : I was adjudged to pay $1 per ten for the measurement of my vessel and to take one barrel of bait only per ton. My vessel measured 80 tons. I was also to sign a bond that 80 barrels only would he landed in the United States, and that the re- mainder of the cargo should be given to them. In default of this I was to pay a fine of 0500 and to have the whole cargo confiscated, and in default of the fine I was to go to prison for three months. He said, " Which option will you take 7" I said, “ I will do neither one thing nor the other." I demanded time to consult counsel and to communicate with my part- ner and the other owner in the vessel. He said, “ I will give you thirty minutes to decide." He said to the commander, " See that my orders are executed.” They were getting up steam, and were about to start with me to jail. I sought to communicate with somebody and to secure counsel. He said, “ You cannot leave here until you decide which option you will take.” There was an Officer at the door. I found that I could not do any better, so I decide-d to take the first option, to pay the 080 and to give to them the residue of the cargo and to sign a bond that these 80 barrels would be delivered in the United States. THE BOSTON HARBOR ACT. As soon as I did so he ordered me to heave over my cargo. I said, ” I will do no such thing, I will not throw my property overboard." In an instant Commander McGraw, of the Ficnia, said, “ We will do it then." I said, “If you do this, you will do it entirely on your own responsibility.” He said, "We willtake all these chances,” or something to that effect. He ordered two boat loads of men to go to work and to heave over my cargo, and finally I got in a boat with him. He came alongside of my vessel, ordered his men into the hold, and they shovelled out the herring with their large coal shovels. It took them from 9 o'clock in the morninguntil half-past 10 in the evening, steady work, to do this. He wished me to go down and see whether there were eighty barrels left. I told him that I did not care whether there were eighty barrels left or not, as they were then no good to me. Finally I went down and said that there seemed to be eighty barrels there, but that they were all worth- less to me. The fish were all tramped upon and out up by the boots and the shovels of the men. He said, “ All we care about is to leave you eighty barrels.” RATHER SHABBY IF TRUE. I said, “ I demand that you put this vessel in a seaworthy condition. She was in a good condition this morning. Now she has no ballast. You have thrown over my cargo. I have no conveniences for securing ballast. Ihave only an old dory, which leaks." ‘ He said, “ It is too bad. I am sorry. I have only done my duty and can do no more." Within an hour's time he had left. The next day it was blowing a gale of wind. The wind increased. I feared that without bal- last we should gc ashore. The next day the wind had moderated somewhat. We left about 1 p.m. We made a barber about four miles distant in order to procure bal- last. This was the 18th or 19th. We left there and proceeded to St. Jacques. In Port Miquelon I cleared my vessel with the 80 barrels on board for a home port in the United States. We left St. Jacques and arrived at St. Pierre that same evening. We went to St. Pierre because that was the nearest pert where there was a United States consul. The next morning I entered a protest with the United States consul there and left soon after for home. The judge convicted me under the Bait Act of 1889, but he imposed the penalty of the new Act of 1890. I had loaded my vessel with this herring before this new Bait Act took eflect. I had bought the herring on the 5th, and loaded it on the 7th. The Act was passed April 2nd, 1890, took affect on the 8th, consequently my herring was bought and loaded, and on board before that Act when into effect. And I never heard anything about this Act until April 13th, when the steamer came in. I asked throughout all these proceed- ings for counsel and for time, and, both were refused me. W THAT POOR HOUSE FIRE. The Loss of Life Much Greater 'Ihat at First Supposed, A Utica, N. Y., despatch says : The number of bodies found in the ruins of the poorhouse in Preston, Chenango county, already number thirteen. The impression is growing that the loss of life far exceeds the first estimate. In the building were many aged men and women, some of whom had not left their beds for months, and others who from weakness of mind were in- capable of finding their way out of the building in the midst of the confusion and excitement which prevailed. It is believed that a number of these perished, and this belief is strengthened by the discovery of a body this morning at some distance from the department occupied by the imbeciles. There are several feet of ashes and debris in the cellar, and the probabilities are that when they are removed a number of bodies will be found. Many of the old people had no relatives,and they'are only brought to mind by the recollection of the keeper and their companions. So it is impossible yet to say who and how many are missing. The building burned very rapidly, as if pitched and tarred, and with great fierce- ness. The fire was intensely hot, and the belif exists that some of the bodies were so completely burned that no trace of them can be found. On Monday the coroner’s jury wrll begin the taking of testimony, and it is not ex- pected that the full number of those miss- ing will be known till then. as the officials are very reticent. The insane paupers will be brought to Utica to-morrcw, and pre- parations are being made in the State hos- pital to receive them. â€"â€"â€"~â€"â€"â€"â€".-â€"-â€"-â€" Something Like a Bridge Span. A Needles, Cal., despatch of yesterday says: The connection of the Arizona and California wings of the great cantilever bridge will be finished to-day. The bridge is said to have the longest unsupported span of any cantilever bridge in the world â€"360 feetâ€"and the total length of the bridge is 960 feet. Nearly 40,000,000 pounds of iron and steel were used in the construction Three men were killed and twenty-five injured during the work.

T118 Revolting Deed Of a List of the Lucky Companies to Receive French Teamster. HE WILL BE GUILLOI‘INED. A Paris cable says : A meek, inoffen- sive-looking man, of middle age, at the Paris Assizes tc-day, was tried and con- demned to death for a double crime almost unparalleled in atrocious savagery. This monster is Jean Vodable, a Paris carter. Vodable used to live with a scanvonger Pauline Malfielatra, who after three years‘ experience wearied of her lover's brutal usage and showed him the door. Breath- ing threats of vengeance Vodable went away and remained absent about a month. On the morning of November 30th Mme. Malfielatre found Vodable in her apart- ment. He urged her to resume her former relations, emphasizing his eutreaties by showing a rope with which he said he would hang himself in case of refusal- Mme. Malfielatre compromised matters by agreeing to spend the day with Vodable. She had a daughter, Alexandrina, 12 years old, whom she supposed to be at school as usual. When midday came Alexandrina did not return at luncheon time. Her mother grew anxious, but Vodable quieted her by saying that he had given Alexandriue three sous to get her meal at school. The afternoon was passed by Vodable and Mme. Malfielatre in quaff- ing bottles of wine. As twilight gathered and Alexandrine still did not return, her mother's anxiety revived. Accompanied by Vodable, she went to the school, where she learned that Alexandrina had noe attended. Thence she went to the policg station, and an inquiry was set on foot, but nothing could be learned of the missint child. Finally, tired and discousolate, Mme. Malfielatre went home, still in com- pany with Vodable, who passed the night at her house. Vodable took his leave early in the morning, and Mme. Malfielatre set about tidying the room. While thus engaged she noticed a bit of red cloth peeping out from under the bed. The woman staggered back in terrible fear, then she stooped and pulled the cloth towards hf r. It was her child‘s dress. Alexandrina was found a last. A shriek rang through the house, and when the alarmed neighbors entered the room they found the hapless mother lying in- sensible upon the corpse of the child. A medical examination showed that a brutal assault had been committed upon the girl. Suspicion was at once directed to Vodable who, after keeping the police at bay for a couple of days, gave himself up of his own accord, confessing that he was guilty of the crime of murder. His counsel at the opening of the trial begged a remand, in order that Vodable might undergo a medical examination. This was refused by the presidingjudge, who forthwith began his cross questioning. Vodable answered ccmpcsedl‘y, almost care- lessly, and kept looking round the packed court as if he was a spectator, and the persons present were there for his amusement. Vodable had suffered sev- erable condemnations for wounding with a knife or revolver : women with whom he had lived. He lightly ac- knowledged that he had shot one woman and stabbed another in moments of exasperation, but strenuously main- tained that he had been an industrious and temperate workman, adding, " I was a great fool to bear with her as long as I did.” Coming to the murder, the judge asked the prisoner to relate the details. “ I found," said Vodable, ” Alexandrine getting ready to go to school, and asked her about the visits paid to her mother. She said she could tell me nothing, as it was not her business. I said, “ If you don’t tell me I'll wring your neck. I took her and wrung her neck.” A shudder ran through 'the audience. Vodable had told the tale without a tremor in his voice, leaning the while unconcernedly over the rail of the dock. When silence, broken by amurmur of loathing from the public, had been restored, he rusumed without waiting for the judge. "Then I pushed her under the bed. As she moved abit I took a stick and pushed her further under.” Vcdable’s counsel made strenu- ous efforts to save his client’s neck, depict- ing' him a jealous lover whom passion had maddened, but the jury, admirably pitiless, returned a verdict of guilty. “J'y auis,’ remarked Vodable after listening impas- sively to the sentence which consigned him to the guillotine. _._â€".._. Suing for a Wife. A somewhat novel suit, in which a mem- ber of the Dominion Parliament will appear as the defendant, is likely to be heard at next Toront'o Assizes. In the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice Wednesday Messrs. Ritche, Leeming dz Ludwig, acting on behalf of John Becker, applied for an injunction to restrain James Livingston, M. P., South Waterloo, from keeping Becker, who married Mr. Livingstone's daughter, apart from his wife. Becker has also commenced an action against Mr. Livingston for 320,- 000 damages for alienating the affections of his wife and for depriving him of her society. The story goes that Becker was a cutter in Mr. Livingstone's store at Baden, Ont., and he formed an attachment with his master’s daughter Rose. The young couple were married on the sly, and the match was distasteful to Mr. Livingstone, who separated the couple and refuses to allowhis daughter to see her husband. Evidences ofa Horrible Crime. A Kansas City despatch of Sunday says: The evidences of a ghastly crime were dis- covered at the Union station yesterday morning. In a pine box two feet long was found the horribly mutilated body of a woman. Nearly all the flesh had been out from the bones, and the head and face were mutilated beyond recognition. The body was packed in charcoal, and from all appearances life could not have been extinct more than 24 hours. The box was checked through over the Wabash road from St. Louis on Friday night and arrived here early yesterday morning. ____..____. Alleged Terrorism in Mississippi. A Brook Haven, Miss.,7speoial says : Ten men who were arrested in Lawrence for beating an old negro, Jere Bass, and murdering his son, were placed on prelimi- nary trial here on Friday. The witnesses relied upon to convict them were so ter- rorized as to be afraid to testify, and the prosecution fell to the ground, though there is hardly any doubt of the guilt of the accused. The best citizens in the vicinity of where the crime was committed are afraid to take active steps to bring the guilty parties to justice for fear of assassi- nation or having their property burned. _._._._..__ , It is the man who is too full for utter- ance who never knows when he’s loaded. THE RAILWAY SUBSIDIES. Government Aidâ€"«The Niagara Cen- tral Subsidyâ€"“rho T., H. & B. Left Out in the Cold.

The chief object of the authori- ties is now to provide suitable accommoda- tion for the unfortunate inmates who have been rendered homeless, if such an expres- sion may be used, by the fire.

A Murderous Assault with the Ubiect of Securing Money. A Paris cable of Sunday says : Marie Gagnon, the demi-mondaine, better known under the name of Marielle, whose assas- sination was attempted on Friday, had not recovered consciousness up to a late hour last evening. M. Gordon and his principal inspector, M. Jaume, were busily engaged yesterday hunting for clues, but they were unrewarded. They are of opinion that the murder was committed by an amant d’occa- tion. The concierge of the house, No. 11 Rue de Provence, where Marielle resided, did not see her visitor enter. '1 he criminal appears to have begun his sanguinary work soon after entering Marielle’s apartment, that is about half-past 1, when the woman changed her out-door apparel for her peignoir. He struck her two heavy blows with a spiked knuckleduster or some similar weapon on the head, and, blinded with the blood that sported from the wound, Marielle fell with a groan which was heard by a woman living on the floor above. For about an hour silence reigned. :Then this woman again heard Marielle moaning. She knocked on the floor, and it is supposed that the murderer then struck his victim a third blow which crushed in her right temple. The assassin remained in the apartment until daybreak and searched for the fruits of his crime. As Marielle’s jewellery was not great in value, he did not appropriate it, contenting himself with hard cash as a less dangerous booty. He was heard moving about the room at 5 a.m. by the occupant of the apartment next Marielle‘s. Marielle was only 23 years of ago, very pretty, with naturally golden hair. She was well known among Parisian degrafees, and was an habitue of the Folios Bergere, Montague's Russes, Cafe Ameri- caine and other resorts frequented by her class. Her apartment is very ccquettishly furnished. She had only occupied the Rue de Provence apartment for the last few months, and previously lived in Rue de Chateau d’Eau. She had the reputation of being of an economical character, having in a mug a little sum put by for a rainy day. News from Laribcisiere Hospital at a late hour t'c-night is that Marie Gagnon con- tinues in the same comatose state, which has thus far defied all that medical science can suggest. Although powerless to utter a word the poor girl seems to comprehend all that goes on around her. When drink is offered her, she turns on one side for greater convenience and afterwards wipes her lips. Her right eye is horribly tumi- fied, but her left remains uninjured. Por- tions of her brain are exposed in three gap- ing wounds. The doctors hope, even if they cannot save her life, at least to restore consciousness so far as to allow her to tell what she alone knows of the terrible drama in which she has played such a fearful part. Bloody Fight Between Italians. Pasquale Marresoola, aged 32, Francisco Michaeli, the same age, and three other ,Italans drank and played cards together until midnight Saturday night in an Italian resort in James street, New York. Marre- sccla and Michaeli then searted for home, but got into a quarrel. A few minutes later Marrescola, with blood streaming from a terrible gash across his face, ran up to a policeman and soon fell from weakness. The policeman a short distance away found Michaeli laying on the sidewalk senseless and bleeding from five wounds in the chest and abdomen. Bothmen were taken to an hospital. Michaeli had been wounded with a stiletto and Marrescola with a razor. Marrescola had cuts on his arm and shoulder as well as on his face. Michaeli died yesterday afternoon without making a statement. No one saw the aflray, and Marresoola's conviction as a murderer is extremely doubtful. .â€"â€".â€"â€". For a reminder of home the WEI:er Truss fills the bill to perfection and only costs $1.00 per year. capacity. The inmates continue to have temporary shelter at the various institu- tions under the control of the Providence Nuns. At the mother house of the nuns in this city there are 300 lodged, while 100 have found shelter at the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, which is also controlled by the order. In addition to these, 300 are lodged in the asylum barns, 142 at the St. Brcit Asylum at Longue Pointe, 52 in the Jesuits' country house, 60 in the Longue Point school house, 17 in Senator Thihaudeau‘s summer residence at Longue Points. At the St. Isidore Convent, Longue Pointe, the private patients and the infirm to the num- ber 150 have found a shelter. In addition to these there are a few of the more harm- less patients lodged in private houses. The sisters are still busy in preparing lists of the patients now under their charge. Their task is a very difficult one, as, in addition to the large number lodged in the various institutions mentioned, many of the private houses in the village of Longue Point and surrounding country have taken in one or two of the more harmless nnfortunates. When the lists are completed a comparison with the list of the original inmates will show exactly who are missing. The original list is believed to be safe in the vault, which is buried beneath the ruins, and which will be removed as soon as possible. So far as can be estimated 1,182 patients are so accounted for up to the time of writing. The total number of inmates at Government charge on the first of May, according to advices from Quebec, was 1,297. This would leave over one hun- dred inmates unaccounted for. ESCAPED LUNATIC S RECAPTURED. The authorities of the asylum have been occupied all day with anxious relatives and friends inquiring for the missing, and in many cases have been able to allay the fears of the anxious ones. The sisters expect that there are still many of the escaped inmates wandering about the country who will be secured in time. No fewer than twenty have been captured so far. Some of them when captured were in a terrible condition owing to exposure to cold. The relatives of a number of the unfortunates who formerly resided in the city were considerably startled to have them walk into the house, without the slightest intimation of their visit. In all these instances the unfortunates were secured without trouble and returned to the asylum authorities. THE SEARCH FOR REMAINS. The ruins of the destroyed buildings are still smouldering and are very dangerous. As soon as it can be done with safety, the ruins will be searched for remains. It is. however, regarded as very improbable that any trace of the bodies will be found, as owing to the intense heat they were pro- bably reduced to ashes. KNOWN TO HAVE PEBISHED. The following is a corrected list of those so far as known to have perished in the flames : DCLPHINE ABCHAMBAULT. Vrcrosmn Bummer. CHRISTINE DEMERS. Mas. Husr. CAMILLE Lacnmcs. AUGUSTINE Lacsorx. MISS Lnrcuuxnr. MISS Lanna. EUSEBE MARCHANT. Burncnr MALONE. ELIZA RICHARD. Mus. SCULLEN. MARIE Sr. DENIS. ELIE ST. LOUIS. MISS Tnsnuaunr. Mus. WILLIAMS. All these were inmates of the women’s ward, and the majority were from Montreal. In addition there were the six nuns : Sister BOUTHILLIEB. Sister MARIE GBOVEL. Sister Loursn Gnovnn. Sister GILBERT. Sister Vrcronra MCNICHOL. Sister LEBAIA. This gives a total of twenty-two so far absolutely accounted for. In addition there are many still missing. Amongst these is Mrs. Mary A. Shahan, of Millbury, Vermont, who was an inmate of the furious ward, and who it is feared also perished in the flames. This lady, who was a private patient, belonged to one of the best known families in Vermont. A former wealthy resident of St. Polycarp, named Lanthier, was conducted from his place of confine- ment, but disappeared before he could be removed to safe keeping. He was stopped once while trying to go back to the burning building, but it is feared that he may have reached it another time, as no trace of him can be found. PREMIER MEBCIER’S vrnws. Premier Mercier stated to-day that the Government would do all in its power to secure to the sisters .as favorable a con- tract as pcssible after the lapse of the present contract, which has still to run for five years. “ But," he added, " I cannot yet say exactly what we can do, or will do. At any rate, we shall try to serve the good nuns, and at the same time see that the interests of the Province are properly secured. We shall hold a meeting to decide upon something definite, as the sisters will not rebuild unless they are sure of a con- tinuaticn of the contract, so as to make it worth their while to incur so heavy an ex- pense." Sister Therese, the lady supericress of the institution, who was ill, has had a serious relapse owing to the severe shock, and is confined to her bed in the St. Isidore Asylum. The sisters have received ex- pressions of sympathy from all parts of the continent. Crispi's wife was snubbed by the Italian queen once, but after the premier sent her royal highness word that if it occurred again he would declare the republic in Italy, she was cordially received at court. OTHE reign CYCLONE Creates a Commotion in Ohio, Kansas and Missouri. A special from Akron, 0., says : At 5.30 this evening, in the midst of a most terrific cloud-burst, this city was struck by the worst tornado, beyond comparison, which has ever been known hereabcuts, excepting, perhaps, the Sharon cyclone of just a month ago. The storm struck the south- ern partqf the city and tore through the fifth, fourth and second wards, doing damage which cannot be estimated at this ‘writing, but fully 100 buildings are com- pletely demolished. The house of Domin- ick Greader, at Gross and , Washington streets, was unrcofed, and Mrs. Greader was slightly injured. John Heller’s house, a few doors north, was almost de- molished, as were Joseph Bigger’s and Louis Shafiier’s houses. I Passing along Brown, Kline and Wheeler streets a dozen or more houses were more or less damaged, some being moved bodily from their foun- dations and others completely unroofed. Thomas Gilligan's house on Kling street was smashed. Tony Mennett’s house on Grant street was turned topey-turvy and practically ruined. The wind struck Gebart Herman's house. The fam- ily of nine had just sat down to supper in the lean-to kitchen. The tornado struck the house and hurled the dining-room like a flying top, landing it fifty feet away. All the occupants were more or less bruised. Mr. Herman was pinned down in the debris, and only the energy of despair when he smelt the odor of the fire near him enabled him to extricate himself. Recovering, he found his little girl burning by the over- turned stove, and before the flames could be extinguished she was fright-fully burned about the back and limbs. A BREWEBY WBECKED. The hurricane then struck the Burkhardt brewery squarely, wrecking it utterl ’. The loss will probably reach 020,00 . The house of A. C. Miller was completely oblit- erated. The corner of Brown and Exchange streets, 0. C. Baker’s grocery, was torn to pieces. His wife and daughters were in the building, but they escaped to the cellar and were saved. Baker is missing, and it is feared he is dead in the ruins. E. S. Harrington’s house was crushed in upon his four children, but luckily all escaped. Thos. Thompson’s house was lifted over their heads and landed upside down many feet away. Mrs. Nash’s house was utterly demolished. Philip Webber's and John Spicer's houses were smashed The Gibbs pottery, a brick block 150 by 60 feet in size, was levelled to the earth. Just across the street was the large barn owned by Frank Kapp's big stable, which was smashed. His pottery across the street was also badly damaged. James Whittle'sbarn and orchard, worth 91,000, was destroyed, he himself narrowly escaping. FATAL DELAY. Melvin Irish and family had just seated themselves at supper when Mrs. Irish cried: “Run to the cellar, a cyclone is coming.” She and her two children man- aged to reach the cellar before the crash, but Mr. Irish was caught by a heavy tim- ber and his spine was seriously injured. Mr. Irish was probably fatally injured. Passing on, the storm demolished the houses of Alvin Alexander and Mrs. Kate O‘Connell. Then having levelled a large orchard in its path, it expended its force on Robert Watts’ house and Mrs. Eliza Baker's home, and passed into the open beyond. The extent of the tornado is at this time unexplored, and the damage in dollars can- not be stated. It is, however, large, as it falls on the laborers whose all is in their homes. All descriptions of the storm show that it was rotary in its motion, and this is shown by the skewmg of the buildings It struck and the twisting off of the big trees in its path. The track was between 50 and 100 feet wide. Kansas Visited. A Ferdonia, Kas., despatch says : Yes- terday afternoon, about 4 o‘clock, a heavy wind storm passed through this county in a northeasterly direction, destroying J. Anderson’s barn two miles from here. The storm again struck the ground two miles further on, destroying much property and killing Mrs. Frank Glidden, and danger- ously injuring Mr. Glidden and child, and killing Harvey Kittse, aged 16. Other persons in the same vicinity who wer hurt were Mrs. Sloat, Mrs. Peterson, Philip Starr and a Mr. Wood. It is feared that the injuries of the women named will prove fatal. Quite a number of other farm gouses were destroyed, and great damage one. It Beaches Into Missouri. A Blythdale, Mc., despatch says : A tornado passed north of this city last night completely wrecking a dozen houses, and as many barns and outbuildings. The family of Henry Young were all injured, Mrs. Young fatally. â€".â€"â€"_ Twin Brothers Fight Savagely. AVincennes, Ind, despatch of Sunday says : On Friday night at Edwardsport a tragedy was enacted, in which John and Amos Lamson. twin brothers, were the actors. At the election last April John, who is a Republican, offered his brother, a Democrat, til to vote the Republican ticket. Amos declined, and there was ill-feeling between the men afterwards. On Friday night Amos was standing on the steps of a store, when John approached. Hot words passed between them, when Amos, sud- denly leaping upon his brother, plunged a knife into his side. John’s wound is fatal. Amos is in jail. ._._.___.â€" The Explanation.

A London cable says: Thursday’s pro- bighly interesting and important. For the moment they have changed the whole face of politics. The Government, having introduced a clause into its budget appro- priating the revenue from new taxation to the formation of a fund for the extinction of licenses to public houses, it follows that in some measure they have pledged their Very existence to the success of the enter- prise upon which they have embarked. These clauses in the budget could not now be withdrawn without a heavy blow being inflicted upon the Ministry, and conse- quently the debate on the bill which is to affirm the principle of compensation must carry with it an issue not originally con- tem plated. Should there by any chance he a majority against the bill the budget would have to be reconstructed. The pro- posed extra duty on spirits would fall through, and the superannuation fund for the police would have to be provided in some other way. Considering the agitation which exists in the country on the com- pensation question it can scarcely be doubted that it was somewhat rash to involve the budget in this issue. As matters stand the Unionist party generally will have to support compen- sation, for the defeat of the Government would necessarily occasion serious results. This would not have been the case if the question had been kept clear of the budget altogether. The Budget Bill proves to be fertile in surprises. On the clause im- posing increased duty on spirits, Mr. Storey began to discuss the chief objects to which the money was to be devoted. He had not proceeded very far before the chairman ruled that the purposes of the tax could not then be debated. This produced vigor- ous cheers from the Gladstonian . It was speedily seen tmt the chairman a decision had landed the committee and Government in a very awkward predicament; for if a totally new principle of taxation was to be introduced without the House of Commons assenting to that principle, a great depar ture from all sound rules and precedent would be established. Sir Vernon Harcourt was enforcing this point, when the Chairman interfered with the explanation that he had not forbidden “ allusion to the fact ” that the new taxa- tion was to be applied in a certain way. Upon this modified ruling, Sir Vernon Harcourt pounced down in a somewhat venomous way. They did not discuss new taxes, he said, by alluding to them. It was.- somewhat new to have an allusive discussion of the budget. It became pretty clear by this time that the Ministry would have to postpone the objectionable clauses. Mr. Gladstone drove all the points home in one of his incisive and masterly little speeches. Here was a new taxation to be imposed for a totally new purpose. Did the Government mean to say that the House must vote the money before it had time even to consider the method of its ap- plication ‘I Mr. Goschen attempted an explanation, but of necessity it fell far short of the requirements of the occasion. The judicious leader of the House rose and consented to postpone the clauses. The Opposition scored the first victory on the great com- pensation dispute. This will put new life into the agitation, and by next Monday the heather will indeed be on fire. â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"+â€"â€"â€"â€" A Wom an‘s Pocketbook. I read in to-day’s paper that a pocket- book had been left here by some one who had found it, and I called to ask about it; I have lost mine," said a New York woman in a newspaper office the other day. "Yes, ma’am," replied the clerk in at- tendance. “Willyou please describe the contents of the pocketbook you lost ?" “ Well, nowâ€"let me see. I think I can name everything that was in my purse. There was a dollar bill, two ten-cent pieces, one or two nickels, two or three coppers, some postage stamps, some silk samples, a small sample of yellow floss. a pearl-handled glove buttoner, a little poem entitled ‘ Baby’s Bath,’ a recipe for sweet pickles, a lock of baby’s hair, a our ticket, a sample of torcbon lace, a memorandum of things I wanted to get, a row of plus, a funny little joke cut from a newspaper, a small pearl button, a brass tag, several addresses, a tiny lead pencil, a Canadian dime with a hole in it, a small rubber eraser, a railroad time-card, an advertise- ment of a bargain sale of handkerchiefs, a pressed violet in a bit of tissue paper, a sample of dress braid and five or six other little things that I can’tâ€"0h, thank you! yes, that's my pocketbook.” And the pocketbook he handed her was just 3} inches long by 2} wide, and half an inch thickâ€"Z.

Mr- Goschen’s Budget Causes 3 Somewhat ceedings in the House of Commons were m THE FARMIR AND HIS WIFE. Helpful Hints About the Everyday Cares of the Farm. WHAT EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW. Care of Foals. The season has now come when the com- plaints of mortality among the young foals wrll again be heard. Last season was the worst for many years in some sections of the country. That there are causes for these epidemics is generally allowed, and In most of the cases it is not hard to define. Ina general way, with the mare running quietly in the yard, not overfed, there is not often trouble, neither is it the case when the mare is worked moderately and moderately fed, but where mares are kept in idleness and fully fed, trouble multiplies fast. The difficulty is caused by the blood being heated. The foal should be carefully watched after birth to see that it has its passages all right. Should it be oostive great care in the treatment is required, as very little over-dosing will kill it outright. In this case try injections of warm water with a little oil added ; a dose of sweet or castor oil is the safest. Should costiveness be anticipated give a dose of raw linseed oil to the mate before foaling. In a case of scours also try mild remedies; a dose of sweet oil will help allay any irritation, and often stop an attack of this kind. Horse Sense. Good care lightens the horse‘s load. With easy, well-fitting harness not so many cats are required. Exercise is just as necessary to thrift in winter as in summer. To bring up a worn-down horse, give it light work, not idleness. The horse will be all the better for working his way through the winter. The man that knows the right use of a horse blanket is a first- class horseman. Too many horses eat up during the winter all they have earned dur- ing the summer. The horse blanket saves feed and fleshâ€"less substance is used to make animal heat. Soap Making. Do not forget that every housekeeper can make her own soap. The more action of combining the lye and grease requires but five minutes, and when the mixture cools you have as good soap as you need. A box of the “ Red Star lye" or “ Lewis' lye” can be bought for twelve cents, and either of them, with the grease. will make ten pounds of excellent soap. Keep all the grease not needed for cooking, and render it before putting away in a jar. A house- keeper alWays feels proud when she has made a quantity of soap as good as she can buy, and at a cost of twelve cents. Sitting Hens. This is the season when the sitting hens will be busy, and when lice will have a harvest. Before placing a sitting hen on eggs, give .11)er material, first dusting both the hen and the material of the nest with insect powder. At the end of seven- teen days, which will be only a few days before the chicks come out, again change the material of the nest, and use the in- sect powder freely, which will prevent the lyoung chicks from being infested with ice. Linseed Meal as an Appetiser. «Linseed meal is an excellent and harm- less food and medicine. Many animals that have lost appetite may be brought into condition by allowing linseed meal once or twice a day. It should be used sparingly at first. For the cow allow half apint a day, and gradually increase the quantity, untila quart or more may be given. For hide-bound it is excellent, and where cattle are lousy it soon drives the vermin away. It also regulates the bowels, and largely assists in balancing the ration when it is composed of food not nutritious in nitrogen and carbonaceous matter. Green Oats as Food. A crop of cats, out when the seed is in the milky stage and cured, is excellent for stock, and serves as an agreeable addition to the regular diet in winter. In some por- tions of the South, where but little hay is grown, the cats and straw are passed through a fodder-cutter and fed to horses and cows with good results. By cutting the crop when in the milky stage the nutri- tion is arrested in the stalk on its way to the seed-heads. Disinfect the Premises. In all cases where disease of any kind has appeared in a flock or hard the dim- culty will reappear unless it is stamped out by disinfection of the premises. The germs may remain in the location in a dormant condition for years. Every inch of ground occupied by diseased stock should be disin- fected, as well as the buildings and stalls. How to Kill Caterpillars. An emulsion of one quart of kerosene in five gallons of strong soapsuds is an excel- lent remedy for the caterpillars that will now infest apple trees, but kerosene is fatal to peach trees. The proper way, however. is to tear out all the nests that appear in the trees and burn them, which work should be done late in the afternoon. A bout Strawberries. In the desire to secure size in the straw- berry the more desirable qualities of hardi- ness of vine and flavor ofthe fruit are being overlooked. A well~flavcred, solid berry, even if small, is better than some of the large, hollow, insipid berries that are more attractive in appearance than in quality. Pigs in Clover. The pig is happy when he is in the clover field. If kept in a pen, give him all the clever he can eat, with a mess of bran at night. On such a diet he should thrive and grow. No corn is necessary for a growing pig, but his quarters should be clean. Rural Notes and News. Open the mouths of all drains. Breed from no scrubs this year. Avoid sowing fowl or mixed seed. No swill-tubs near doors or windows. Adorn home and elevate the family. Grease the waggons-oil the harness. Clover makes the best swine pastures. Chopped beats are good for milch cows. Don t use plaster on wet, mucky soils. Song of the garden seeds : " Put me in my little bed." Remember that different soils require different fertilizers, and want no others. Will varieties of buckwheat cross and mix? is one of the questions of the day. Brains as well as farms are capable of cultivation. Never lose sight of this fact.. When your soil needs potash only. what is the use of putting on other fertilizing ingredients 7 In eighteen of the great agricultural, sheep raising states and territories there is no dog tax at all. - A soil may be cverfed and troubled with indigestion as well as the animal system, but it is cftener starved. The Vermont maple sugar crop, just harvested, is only about five million poundsâ€"much less than usual. Try to find out the best way of doing everything you undertake and be sure that you do not do it the wrong way. There is nothing gained by crowding crops. Numbers of plants do not compen- sate for the loss of size and quality. It is not fancy but real stock that the farmer wants for business. There is not much that is fancy about farming. Every- thing is real-very. American farmers exporting grain to Europe are compelled by the foreign steamship monopoly to pay freight rates nearly twice as high as they were a year ago. â€".â€"â€"â€".â€".â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"- Charming dresses can be made of 30 cent tennis striped fiannels.
