FROLICS OF THE OLD DAYS
anti among the most pleasant recollec-
tione of his boyhood's home places the
keen enjoyment that a, header _from the
clocks on the hay front used to bring to
the youngters of his time. Before the
sixteenth birthday young 'Wiman had
passed through all the grades in the
comnion scheols. The finish of his edu-
cation brought him to the choice of a
busine.ss. . He fixed on printing andswas
articled as an apprentice in the office
-
of the North American, then owned by -
the Hon. Wm. Macdougall. Ile was an
earrteste steady worker and *took .high
rank as a journeyman when his tour
yeaeS' probation was ever. He was out
of his apprenticeship zome. time before
he celebrated his twenty-first birthday,
but continued working in the American
office., The routine of pinting and oc-
casional contributions ,to the editorial
columns did not attract, all his attention.

in Sunday school and temperance work.
For many years he was a member of the
late l Robert Wilkes' class iri the old
Methodist New Connection Sunday
School on Temperance street. After
wards he served as a tea -cher. He was
a chief organizer in the cadets of temper -
ace r his first venture was the issue of a
little journal devoted to the interest of
this ,society. He left the North Ameri-
can office to manage a commercial news
room in the Imperial bank building.
After putting life into this venture he
accepted a position on the local staff of
the Globe. He was quickly promoted
to the commercial' editor's chair, and
brought the mercantile news department
-tep to efficiency. About this time he
founded the Grumbler, a meritorious
and renumerative domic weekly.This
journal won lasting popularity, and
when Mr. Wiman yielded control its
publication was continued until' late in
the'sixties by his successor, Mr. J. Ross
Robertson. -His reputation as a com-
mercial authority led R. G. Dunn & Co.
to offer Mr. Wiman the direction_of the
Ontarto branch of their mercantile
agency. This was in 1860, and he im-
mediately assumed
THE DUTIES OF 111$ NEW POST.
Fie exhaustless energy he hent to the
work of organizing a system for secure
ing mercantile intelligence from all sec-
tions of the province. Success was the'
only possible consequence of such efforts.
He was promoted to the charge of the
more fliporta.nt Montreal branch, and in
1867 was advanced to the New York
hortee, where he controlled the city busi-
neee as a partner in the firm Of Dun,
Wiman & Co. Even the administration
of a mercantile agency business that in-
cludes the continent has left Mr. Wiman
. with energy that he has turned into
other avenueski While in Toronto an
acquaintance with Mr. II. P. Dwight,
first interested him in the then imma-
Nye Canadian telegraphic system. In
New York his executive ability attract-
ed the notice of the Western Union
magnates. His work resulted in merg-
ing the Western Union and the com-
bined Montreal and Dominion lines
under the name of the Great North-
western into one system. His defeat of

Animals, as Barometors. .
Says a writer in the Cincinnati En-
quirer: I do not know of any surer way
of predicting the'ehanges in the weather
than by observing the habits of the
snail. They do not drink, but imbibe
moisture during a rain and exude it
afterward. This animal is never seen
abroad except before a rain, when you
will see it climbing the bark Of trees and
getting on the leaves., The tree snail,
as it is called; two days before rain will
climb up the stems of plants, and if the
rain is going to be a hard and long one;
then they get on the sheltered side of a
leaf, but if.a short rain on the outside.
Then there are other speciesthat before
a rain are yellow • after dt, blue. Others
indicate rain by ho' les and protuberances,
'which before a rain rise as large as tuber .,..
oles. These will begin to show the Jo_
selves 'ten days before a rain, At, the;
end of each tubercle is a pore which'
opens when the rain comes to. abalaab
'and draw in the moisture. in caller
snails deep indentations, It ginning at
the head between the horns and ea•sling
with a jointure of the tail,, appear a few
days before a storm.
Every farmer knows when swallows
ea' low that rain is coming; sailors,
when the sea gulls fly toward the land,
when, the stormy petrel appears, .or
Mother Carey's chicken's, as they are
called, predict foul weather. r .
Take the ants ;-[have you ever noticed
the activity they display before a storm
—hurry, scurry, rushing hither and yon,
as if they were letter carriers making
six trips a day, or expressmen behind
Aline ? Dogs grow sleepy and dull and
like to lie before a fire as rain ap-
proaches; chickens pick up • ebbles,
fovrls roll in the dust, flies sting an&
bite more viciously, frogs croak More
clamorously, gnats assemble under trees,
and horees display restlessness.
When you see a swan flying against
the wind, spiders crowdie. g on a wall,
toads coming out of there holes in un-
usual numbers of an evening, worms,

of that greet corporation. To the inn
pravernent of Staten Island Mr. Wirnan
has lately turned the leisure left him by
mercantile and telegraphic cares. To
get control of the Island ferry landings
he had first to defeat the Va,nderbilts,
who had long regarded Staten Island as
a family presersre. This he accomplish-
ed with a speed that awakened the Wall
•
street Czar to an appreciation of the
Canadian financier's merits. Then to
et an entrance for his ferries on the
ew York side he had to conquer a
rival ex -Congressman and Commodore
Jelat H. Strain. This opposition was
e also entailed. All minor obstacles have
been overcome and the near future will
see the completion of a railroad to con -
neat with the ferry line that places all
Staten ,Island within easy reach of the

MR. WIMAi. s PATRIOTISM. \
The energy, shrewdness and business
sagacity that Mend Mr. Wirnants char-
acter are united to a sing-ular and abid-
ing affection for his native land. Absence
has not deadened his interest in this city
or Dominion. His broad liberality has
foetid, numerous openings, for practically
evidencing his esteem for Canada and
Canadians. The sums spent in the en-
deavor to popularise lacrosse in the
Stake, kindly assista,nce rendered- Cana-
dians in deed and enthusiastic efforts to
supply in the Canadian Club a meeting
place for his fellow countrymen in the
American metropolis, ail give him claim
to esteem, as a man whose worldly suc-
eese has. meant increased opportunity for
tangibly illustrating his patriotism. In
the eity the \\Imam baths are the endur-
log tebtimony of a kindred sympathy
with ;eating Torontsmians. A stroll along
the Eeplanade while in the city on a
-visit in the summer of 1881 recalled to
itismemor3r the plunges in the bay in
the sweltering summers of Ms boyhood.
m
Immediately the thought struck hi
that the city's growth barred the boys
of to -day from the same pleasure. Next
he deciiied. on filling the want. Ex-Al-
derinan, Withrew was taken off to New
York to inspect the public bath's there.
The attecceding summer the bath on the
Island and the floating structure on the
bay, built at a cost of $10,000, were
makiug existence in the heated term a
pleaeare to juvenile citizens. Last year
new dressing rooms were added to the
Maud baths, at a cost of another $1,200.

A young poet had written am st scur-

and libeled not ,only the Empr ss, -but

When the poor man wa told Ithis, he
felt as if his ' last hour , as co e, and
that the Emperor inust intend h mself to
pronounce a sentence of eternal exile.
He went to the palace and was shown
through all the grad State ronms, one
after .another, without seeing ny one,
till at last he arrived at a sm 11, com-
monplace room at the, end of t tem all,
where there was a single tabi4 with a
lamp upon it, and here he saw he Em-
press, the Emperor, and all t e grand
dukes and duchesses whom he had men-

"How do you do, sir ?" said he Ent-

Then the poor man prostrate( himself
at the Emperor's feet. "Sen me to

" Oh, sir, you are cruel to r fuse me
