were shocked and surprised te find that
the shadow of death had wine to the
patient's bedside. No dog had howled.

dispiove • its own assertion that
sensilble people do not take 'heed of
warnings.
A few years since the father of a laaly -
living at present in the western part of
the city -was taken seriously ill. Before
the doctors had fairly decided that the
case was dangerous, a strange dog en-
tered. the yard about midnight and set-
up a mouruful howling. There were
half a dozen people stirring around the
liouae,' and the clog Avas at once 'driven
away. Be returned in half an hour
and . repeatedi his laowls, this time

'L'he patient was awakened frau: sleep
by e"noige,_ and as the watchers start-
ed ti) &ive, the dog away hesaid
- "I shall he a dead man in less than
btu. e days!!" r •
The strange brute could hardly be
dri en' out of the yard, much to the
wonder and ama,zernen t' of the watchers.
Thd patient Was much worse the next
morniag and he last no time in making
his will. i:The • doctors, nurses an'd
friend made light of the dog's visit, -
and re)WilY invented a number of excuses
for his howling at that particular place
and hour. ! •

'"Why don't you take roy bet, then?"
"Waal, I don't know ; I ain't much of a
betting man." The professional saw
that the countryman was more than
half inclined to take him up, and to
make sure of his game he said : "Come,
I'll bet $10 to $5, $15, 420 to $5 !"
"Durned if I don't take ye," exclaimed
the Countryman, after a moment's hesi-
tation, and, diving into his pocket he
drew out a strip of calico (apparently a
sample to show his girl), scane confec-
tionery, a plug of tobacco, several horse-
shoe nails, and lastly, ,a dyspeptic -look-
ing leather wallet, from • which he
extracted a greasy five dollar greenback,
which he placed in th.o hands of a by-
stander. ! The professional, speedily
covered the deposit with a twenty fresh
from Uncle Sam's printing bureau, and
then thoroughly shuffling- the cards as
prelude, he grasped the pack firmly in
one hand, and producing a, sharp pocket
knife be actually out every card in the
pack in two, "There," he exclaimed,
triumphantly, "haven't I cut the jack
of diamonds?" "I'll be eternally swal-
lowed if you have," replied the country-
man, producing that veritable card from
his sleeve, whither he had dexterously
conveyed it while pretending to examine
the cards. The - countryman quietly
pocketed the stakes, and the professional
slunk off irito another ear.—Chicayo Tri-

Tne Exemption Law.
Judge Gowan, of Simcoe, has given
decisions on two questions arising out
of the exemptions from taxation, which
are of general importance. In one case -
the dwelling house of the Roman Ca-
tholic priest at Barrie was assessed at
$2,800. This was considered to permit
the $800 over $2,000 to be subjected to
taxation., It was appealed against on
the greund that a second priest occupi-
ed the same dwelling, and that each of
`of them was entitled, to a, $2,000 exemp-
tion, making in all $4,000, -which would
of course, have much more than covered
the $2,800 assessment. The clause Of
the Act Bearing on this reads as follows :
The stipend or salary Of any- clergy-
man or minister of religion, vhilst in
actual ceneetion -with any church and
doing duty as such clergyman or inin,
ister, to the extent of one thousand
dollars, and the parsonage or dwelling -
house occupied by him, with the land
thereto attached, to the extent of tava
acres, and not exceeding two thousand
dollars in value.
Judge Gowan held this to imply an
exemption of $2,000 only on behalf of
the real occupantithe head of the eatali-
lishment ; and that assistant clergymen
residing in the same dwelling does not
create a separate exemption for each.
The other ease Was that of the Nun-
nery of St. Joseph in the same town.
The Nnithery it appears is simply used
as the dwelling thouSe of the Sisters, -the
sehool in which they teach being sew-.
ate from it. The assessor let the school
go free but asseesed the nunuery. On
this point Judge Gowan held that only
buildings connected. with the general
educational system of the Country are
exempted from taxation, and con-
seqnently decidedthe assessment of the
nunnery to be lawful. Then the plea
was raised that ai the Nunnery contain-
ed a chapel it should. be exempted as a
church or place of worship. But this
plea Judge Gowan also rejected, hold-
ing that—
.
Thi building might be called a place
of worship, as might, in -a certain sense,
"any private apartmenin any private
dwelling in the town where morning. and
evening acts of Worship are performed ;"
but "the termsiu the Statete are evi-
• cleritly used in their popular Sense, i. e.,
a church, chapel meeting -house or
other building intended and used for the
public worship of Alinighty God," and
do not embrace private altars , or private
conveniences for worship. 1 •

The Death of Brigh:ara Young
and the Future of Polygamy.
The death of Brigham Young will
prove Very disastrous t� the Morm_on
Church there is no room whatever to
doubt. He has been fair years not the
chief pillar merely, but the only pillar
of the Church, regarded as a religious
edifice, and has it the same time been
more powerful than any ten of his fol-
. lowers in maintaining the avorhlly pros-
, perity of Mormonism. He had the
faculty which few of his followers had
in any degree, arid none to such a de-
gree as he of conveying the impression
that he really believed in the fantastic
faith be professed, and by means of that
faculty he acquired a swayoverhis fol-
lowers, which no one of his survivors is
likely to asectre. He was, moreover, a
born ruler, shrewd, far-seeing; politic and
courageous; while there is scarcely one
of those whom he leaves behind, cer-
tainly no one of --his sons, who has any
-marked capacity as a ruler or leader, or
even a special aptitude for managing
the brainless interests of the orphaned
aura. For want, therefore, of a
prophet zealous enough to believe in his
mission, or shrewd enough to impress
others with his belief the religious frame,
work of the church is liable to become
unstable, while the. want of ability corn -
blued with courageous despotism, will
produce a similar effect upon the tem-
poral portion of the fabric; there will be
a division of councils and a clashing of
interests and. ambitious, and in such a
state of affairs the church cannot long

the part ;of his numierous - wives,
may produce a somewhat similar effect,
so far as polygarayie concerned; though
the decision of the courts in the case of
Ann Eliza, the seventeenth wife leaves
• little chance for question as to the Poai-
Mon which will be ace:ire:led to all
the supplereental wives. On the• other
hand, it is quite possible that the effect
of Young's death will be -the •exact' op-
posite of that suggested. While poly-
gamy has no such ardent supporter as
Mang was in his lifetime, the prospect
of an utter uprooting of an institution:
so closely interwoven with the fabric of
societyCOM hardly be a pleasing one to
those who are responsible for it. If it
could be safely' assumed that -all the
polyganiists would be glad to ,):)e rid .at
once of their superfluous wives, the
problem would be easilysolved., for the
death of the leader can liardlylail to
settle sooner or later their legal right,
ifInot their duty to be so rid. No such
assumption- can, however, be safely
Made. . There are domestic and pecuni-
ary interests involved which cannot be
sacrified without serious less,oeVen if Af-
fection andreligious belief he left en-
tirely out of the question. From mere
force Of habit and stubbor ness, if for na
otther reason, the leadia polygamists
will _cling to the system, aa:ld thtugh the
practice of taking new wives may per-
haps fall into discredit, the olal, ones,
whatever their. legal status, -will in all
probabilitybe retained until death solves
the problem. 1 1

Table Fixtures.
Do not select table linen bordered
with color, as it is too much like a res-
tahrant. ,.(41asswaremakes a tablelook
gay and attracti-ve, if silver is not to be
had. High glass : fruit dishes, three
large ones through the centre of -the
table, a higher one in:the middle(unless --
you have a, pyramid of rnancaroons, or
some similar ornament) with the fruit
artistically laid in, intI
rrningled with
flowers, and- trailing vines around the
edge. Vases' of flowersat suitable
