I have recently seen it stated that
Cornelius Vanderbilt, of the
Central Railroad, has refused to let
a room in a large building near
the Forty-second Station, New York
city, for a saloon, and wished
there were no saloons within an
eighth of a mile of a station, When
his father was presideut of the Now
York Central, the nephew of a
friend of mine rented the eating
house at Utica at $6,000 a year.
A short time after he took it W. H.
Vanderbuilt came along, and asked
him how much rent he paid. Be
told him, Mr. V. then said : "You
sell liquors ?" "Yes sir." Well,
if you will not sell them you shall
have the place at $1,100 a year.
Agreed! Mr. V. was wise. He
did not want spirits ecld where the
risen who had charge of trains would
step in for drinke.-Cleveland

some of the most wonderful whis-
key diet ever drove the skeleton
from a feast or painted landscapes
in the brain of man. It is the
mingled souls of wheat and oorn.
In it you will find the sunshine
and the shadow that phased each
other over the billowy fields, the

40 years this liquid joy has been

ever filled with snakes the boots of

the moonshine that made the mar-

hills, the breath of flame, the
whistle of police, the hoodlum wag-

thinking you could fight. Drink it,
and you will hear the voice of com-
rades singing "When Johnny Domes

laughter of boys. Drink it, and
you will feel within your head a
sense of swelling -the boozy bliss
of many a high old. spree. For

The third annual gathering of
,the Wingham Caledonian Society
was held in the town park on Sept.
1st, and as far as the games were
concerned, was a success. The
crowd. however, was not as large
as was expected and both the so-
ciety and the citizens were greatly
disappointed at the number that
visited the town. There were about
400 people on the ground during
-the afternoon, but there would no
doubt have been over 2,000. had it
nat been for the threatening con-
dition of the weather. The rain
seemed to come on just in time to
prevent people coming in from the
country and never let up until it
was too late. However, the pro-
gram was gone through with in the
afternoon and the competition was
keen. The best dancers and ath-
letes in America were present and
,a good exhibition was given. The
.town band was present and dis-
coursed good music. The following
is a list of those who were sue•
oeseful in the competitions t

We once heard one of the moat
successful manufacturers in 0 live-
ly city say that so far as he knew
there was but one young man in
L-- who didn't work every day,
and that one bad a miserably lone
ly existence. Bob Burdette, the
"funny man," who says sensible
things, has a word for a loafer of
L--, or any town iu the land :
Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle a pick
or a pen, a wheelbarrow or vet of
books, digging ditches or editing a
paper, ringing an auction bellor
writing funny things, you must
work. If you look around ycu will
see the men who are the most! able
to live the rest of their days with-
out work are the men who work
the hardest. Don't be afraid of
killing yourself with overwork. It
is beyond your power to do that on
the sunny side of thirty. They die
sometimes, but it is because they
quit work at 6 p.m. and don't get
home until 2 a.m. Its the interval
that kills, my son. The work gives
you an appetite for your meals ; it
leuds solidity to your slumbers ; it
gives you a perfect and grateful ap-
preciation of a holiday. There are
young men who do not work, but
the world is not proud of them. It
does not know their names even ; it
simply speaks of them as "old So -
and so's boys." Nobody likes them,
the great, busy world doesn't know
that they are there. So find out
what you want to be and do and
take off your coat and make a dust
in the world. The busier you are
the less harm you will be apt to get
into, the sweeter will be your sleep,
the brighter and happier your holi-
days, and the better satisfied will be
the world with you.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Keep saleratue in a glass bottle
or jar tightly worked.
Flannels should be dried in the
shade. and, if possible, ironed while
damp.
To beat whites of eggs quickly
add a pinch of salt; salt cools, and
cold eggs froth rapidly.
If baby throws up hie milk use
barley or rico water, with enough
cream to make the food nutritious.
To avoid having greasy soups it
is best to allow them to get entirely
cold, then the fat oan be easily
skimmed from the top.
To scour knives easily, mix a
small quantity of baking soda with
your brink -dust, and see if your
knives do not polish better.
Much of the ordinary bother of
washing lamp chimneys on the in-
side can be saved by using a stink
with a sponge tied on the end.
Beets aro nice 1n mime pies when
apples are scarce or dear. Boil,
peel, chop fine, let stand half an
hour covered with sharp vinegar,
and then use like apples. Strong
coffee is also a nice addition.
Sleeplessness at night is often
caused by the air of the room hav-
ing become close and vitiated. If
you cannot sleep and your windows
are closed, try opening the window.
Inmany oases sleep will immediately
follow.
The mixture of the yolk of an
egg and glycerine is said to be au

The Belleville Ontario of Wednes-
day has the following romantic
story :-Last week Samuel Mearns,
a well-to-do bachelor of St. Joseph,
Mo., left lblontreal to visit relatives
in Kemptville. There he made the
acquaintance of Miss Katie Wilton,
n bighlyesteemed yuuug lady of
Brockville, aged 18 years. They
met on Friday last, were engaged
on Saturday, and the following
Monday were quietly married at St.
Jamse' church in Komptvillo. They
have left for a trip to the White
Mouutains,
.A. correspondent of The Calgary
Tribune gives the following account.
of the freighting of ore at the mines
at Ilieoillewalt :--A, considerable
amount of ore hae already been
taken out of the tunnels that have
been made, and this is transported
to the crushing mill on pack mules
down the zigzag tote road on the
mountain side. About 80 of these
mules were just being loaded when
I was there and preparing for their
descent. Burdens ranging from 200
to 400 pounds of ore each are strap
ped on to the pack saddles, and the
animals start down in a long train,
with a man on horseback as either
end to keep the mules from loitering
on the way or straying off the path.
At some places the tote road leads
along the brink of precipices hun.
dreds of feet high, and at that dizzy
attitude it requires a clear head and
strong nerves to pilot the train saf-
ely along. It is not an unfrequent
occurrence, sure.footed as these
mules are, to have one or more of
them go over, and when they do no
one ever thinks of following to see
what has become of them. Their
fate is sealed, and anything that
might be saved from the wreak
would not repay the labor and ex-
pense of making a journey round to
where the mangled remains of the
poor mule would be found. Singu-
larly enough, when an accident oc-
curs these poor brutes ase lured to
their destruction by a bunch of
grams or some other tempting mor-
sel, which they reach over to nibble
as they are passing along. A little
slip, and the big burden they bear
carries them over the awful preoi-
pioe. Away they go, starting a
hundred loose rocks down with
them ; there is a roar and .a ereeh
far below -the next mule falls into
place, apparently thoughtless of his
brother's Mts, and the train passes
along -a dead mulo-no matter.
Well, with the aid of these mules
some five tone of ore aro got down
to the crusher each day, only one
return trip up and down being made
between sunrise and sunset. On the
upward trip, which is neither so
dangerous nor so laborious as the
downward ono, the moles carry pro•
visions and all other requisites for
the miners.
