UNDER, THE WEATHER.
How Boggs Cured His Wife of
' Them Spells."
Mrs. Boggs had been under the
weather for several days. At least
she said shp was, but these spells
come rather toosfrequeptly for Mr.
Boggs' comfort, since he was com-
pelled to cook the ,heals while they
lasted, and de general housework.
I don't understand what particular
kind of weather Mrs. Boggs was
suffering from this time, but she
was under it, and under it bad. • .
She. even told Boggs than she
didn't._ho1iuxe she was ever going to
got through it, and she went so far
as to make a hysterical request that
he would bury her in sumo snuny
spot where the birds ,would come
and sing to her, and she extorted
promise that ho would come once
a week and scatter flowers over her
resting place.
A dozen tithes that day was Boggs
called from his work in the kitchen
to bid a final adieu to Mrs. B., but
still she lingered. He had been
through the same experience several
times before, and it was beginning
to pall on hint.
That night, as he sat watching at
the bedside, she observed that he
was deeply buried in some book.
"What are you reading, dear 7"
she asked, faintly. •
"A railway guide, my love."
"What do you want of a railway
gukio 7"
"I want to see clearest, how far it
is to Washington, Ponsylvania."
She wondered what he wanted. to
know, but before she could inquire
further ho went out and she fell in-
to a doze.
After a while she awoke and
found Boggs bending over her.
Closing her oyes main and feigning
sleep, she overheard the following
soliloquy on the part of Boggy :
"Fins subject for cremation. A
--'TiCtte'soiaggy, (D'Irs. Boggs' fingers
worked convulsively beneath the
'bedclothes) but the scraggy ones in-
cinerate more readily than the fat
ones, the doctor says. She could be
greased if necessary, to make her go
quicker. Think I'll send her up
by express, as 1 am too busy to
leave the store. Her ashes can be
sent hack by snail, in an envelope.
I'll know them," he chuckles.
"They'll be under the weather
every few weeks. and want to die.
And they'll ask me to bury 'em iu
some sunny spot where the -birds
can sing to 'eul. 1'11 send word to
the boss,•„cremator to- make it hot
for her—she's made it .hot enough
for mo. And I'll tell him to admit
the reporters, so as to give her a
good send off. 'Sorry I can't be
there to stir her up •myself, and—”
An ear -piercing shriek came from
the woman who was under the
weather, and with a bound sufficient
to laud her on top of any weather
that ever blew, she sprang out of
bed and grabbed 'Boggs by the ear.
"You'll cremate . mo, will you,
•
you bald hoaaed old reprobate!
You'll send Iny scraggy body to the
Washington crematory by express
and tell 'em to make it hot for ale.
Oh, you wicked gid it}rretch ! I'll
live a hundred years to spite you,.
see if.•I don't !"
Then she p Ked Boggauuut of the
door and bolted it,•, and he • was. ob-
liged to snake up a bed on the fles,
that night, next to the stove, for it
was cold'; but a peculiar slnilo''came
over his face, even when he was
rubhiug the acre vete con his;. head,
and he murmured softly 'to luniself,
"Guess I've cured her of them spells
for a while, at least."
Mrs. ' Briggs hasn't had a spell
since, but inaction erfination toiler

The Dark Ways of the City.
• In the hearing ofa. case before the
Hamilton police magistrate on Sat-
urday against Lousia Courteau, for
keeping a house of ill -fame at 33
_itebecca. arrest soava startling dis-
closures were made. •Jennie ilolmes,
a bright eyed and rather good look -
girl of 17, who is under sentence for
six months for larcency, was the
first witness for the prosecution.
she worked for a farmer near Dunn.
ville for five years previous to com•
ing here. She quit working there
because the wages were ao small, and
arrived in Hamilton two weeks ago.
Her story is that shb met Emma
Melrose shortly after her arrival, and
stayed with heron Catharine street
until Tuesday, Nov. 8, when her
newly made friend brought her to
.tbe defendant's house under the
pretext that she was taking her to a
boarding house until she could get
a situation. After she had been in
the house a short time the dofen•
dant intimated that she was going CO
receive company that night, and
requested the girl to don a blue
mother hubbard dress, which she
did. She was subjected to the gros-
sest Insults by men who visited the
house, and she began to realize what
kind of a house she had been entic-
ed into. Being unable to get back
her own clothes, she had to remain
in the house that night: The next
day she told her story. to a young..
man, who took her to a hotel, where
she remained until she got -a situat-
ion at the Victoria hotel. The girl
foolishly stole some clothing there
from two servants, and it was on that
charge that she was sentenced. De.
tective Doyle testified to' the general
reputation of the house. The magis-
trate found the defendant guilty and
fined her $103 or six months. - Emma
Melrose is under arrest for enticing
the 'girl Melrose into a disreputable
house.
• It may nu: iie generally known
that sauerkraut is a dangerous ex-
plosive. A 'Philadelphia kraut
maker, who is cutting up 5,000 cab
bagos a day, and probably knows
what he is talking about says : "If
a cask of kraut is sealed when too
fresh there is sure to be trouble. A
cask of .gunpowder is hardly more
dangerous than a tightly corked
barrel of fresh sauerkraut. As the
stuff ferments it swells, and if vent
is 'not_ furnished there is an ex-
plosion that shakes the foundation
of the store and frightens the life
half oat of the storekeeper, while
the neighbors raise a cry of dyna-
mite plot, Seriously, sauerkraut is
a dangerous article to handle. If I
were a fiery Anarchist I would bo
inclined to adopt it as an instrument
of destruction."
--Chief Justice Sir Adam Wil.
son has formally retired from the
Bench Bud in doing so delivered a
brief farewell address at Osgoode
Hall.

Rhythm in Commercial Affairs.
As prices fall and profits shrink,
producers working on insufficient
capital, or by imperfect methods,
are soon obliged, in order to meet
impending obligations, to force
sales through a further reduction of
prices ; and then stronger competi-
tors, in order to retain their markets
and customers, are compelled to
follow their example ; and this in
turu iy followed by new concess-
ions alternately by both patties,
until gradually the indqstrial system
becomes depressed and demoralized;
and the weaker succumb (fail), with
a greater or less destruction of capi-
tal and waste of product. Affairs
now hav,ing reached their•minimum
of' depression', recovery slowly com-
mences. Cesumption is never
arrested, even it pre -duction .is; for
the world must continue to consume'
in ofdor..that, life and civilization
mayexist. The continued 'increase
of population. also increases the
aggregate ,ef consumption ; and, fin•
ally,;tha'iniustrial and commercial
world again suddenly realizes that
the•• condition of affairs has been
reversed, and that now the supply
hes bedOriie 'title -quarto the demand.
Then such producers as have "stocks
on•hand,' or • the, inaehitery of pro-
duction ready for immediate and
effective service, realize large pro.
fits ; and the realization of this fact
itiltnediatoly tempts others- to rush
into p►•Qductien, in ninny casae with
insuffieient'capital (raised. : often
through' stock companies),. and
without that piratical knowledge of
the details of their undertaking'
which is, necessary to insure suc-
cess, and the old experience of in-
flation and • reaction is again
tend again repeated. Hence, the
explanation of the now much -
tatted -of "periods" or "cycles"
of pauic and speculation, of trade
activity and stagnation: Their per-
iodical occurrence has long been
recognized; and the economic prin-
ciples involved in them have long
been nnelerstbod.
