DON'T BE TOO POSITIVE.
"Don't be too positive,"saidabusiness
gran. "I used to be. I am now not
>N c quite so sure about things. You would
naturally think that one's life -in busi-
ness and other avenues of its devious
.eourse--tends to make a man careful,
not to say conservative; but it does not

rees as a sternlight rather than ,a

say -thought; -he --himself- .was- cock- --
sure he had made it.
"His bank .book had been left 'Teeth
the bank for settlement, and my friend
`Merely made out a slip and handed it
to the teller. A few days later, when
he received his bank book `settled up,'
behold you, that deposit was not en-
tered. He at once took the book to the
yogng man who was teller on that day
said:
kIf "You, have not credited me with
$115, my deposit of such a day.'
"The teller obligingly lookedover his
slips and book, and, said he: 'I have no
entry of it; neither do I remember a
deposit of such an amount.'
"Then arose a dispute. My friend
was positive he had made that deposit.
He was going to have it credited or he
would know the reason why. He felt
aggrieved; in fact, his feelings were
venomous.
"The bank 'fad a special hoard meet-
ing to consider the mateer. They de-
cided they could do nothing. The tell-
er had always borne a good reputation.
Could my friend remember whom he
saw in the bank on the day he made
his deposit?
-les;'-he said. 'I will swear 1
saw so-and-so as I entered the door'.'
" `Hunt him up, then,' said the bank
people; 'see if he remembers seeing
you.
"The person could not recollect such
an event.
"Said the bank people: 'Can you re-
collect who else was near the teller?'
" 'Oh, yes, said my friend; that
young man (pointing) there.'
"But that young man merely smil-
ed, and suavely said that he had no re-
membrance of the occurrence.
"My friend was angry; he grew war-
like. He consulted a prominent law-
yer in the city. The man of law said
laconically:
"You have no redress. The bank's
word is as goofs as ours. Go slow. Are
ydu sure you made the deposit? We
men do queer things at times. Look
about your desk and office.'
"Suffice it to say that the $115 did
not turn up. My friend,in the interim,
grew still more positive.
"Some two weeks elapsed., One day,
going through an old overcoat hanging
in his office, he found the deposit—slid,
money and all. Tableau! Imagine his
feelings? Retractions were in order.
He went to the bank and explained it
all in a crestfallen manner, and vowed
contrition to the teller.
"Now he bemoans the sad fate that
should have caused him, a shrewd
business man, at his time of life to lose
confidence in himself and bis actions.
His favorite aphorism to -day is `Dont
be too positive.' "--Ex.
HAD HER OWN WAY.
In a parlor car on an Eastern train
sat a richly dressed young woman,
tenderly holding a very small poodle.
"Madam," said the conductor, as he
punched her ticket, "I am very sorry,
but you can't have your dog in this car.
It's a ainst the rules."
"I shall hold him in my lap all the
Way," she replied, "and he will disturb
no ono."
"That makes no difference," said the
conductor; "I couldn't allow my own
•dog here. Dogs must ride in the bag-
gage car. I'll fasten him all right for
.you---"
"Don't you touch my dog,sir," said
the young women excitedy; "I will
;ilt'ulit him to no one 1" and with indig-
nant tread she marched to the baggage
car, tied her dog, and returned. About
After miles further on, when the con-
rductor, came along again, she asked
him: "Will you tell me if my dog is
alt tight P"

to be kept clean, and the first thin
you should be certain about is th
they lure not affected with lice o
worms.
The aim and management of horse
feet should be to harden and toughe
instead of softerdng and weakening b
tender treatment. Give the horses
from the time of their being colts up-
ward, good hard surface to stand on,
and be very sparing in the use of litter.
Just as little litter as will serve to
absorb the excess of moisture should
be the rule for the night,and even that
should be cleared away during the day.
Attention to this platter, it is believed,
will render good service in helping to
harden and toughen the feet of the
horses.
A group of gentleman were discuss-
ing the characteristics of the horse the
other day, and each one had some new
theory to advance or some new anecdote
to relate. One of the gentlemen was
rather advanced in life,and he admitted
that the had "talked horse,” week in
and week out, almost every day of his
life for the last 45 years, and that he
had not exhausted the subject yet.
The subject of horses is wearisome
enough to the fellow who knows or
cares nothing about them, but to the
horse lover the subject is more inex-
haustible than any other. The man
who cannot learn something new about
a horse every day is pretty apt to be a
dullard.
A New England writer makes the
following pungent observation, which
everybody knows is unfortunately too
true: It is strange how men get'•married
to a horse and hew they will keep and
feed one which they think is about the
best that can be bred and raised, and
they will go hungry and poorly clothed
to keep one on which the chances are
they were offered more for when a
yearling than they can get for it as a
five-year-old. Men get poor keeping
stock which does not yield any income.
I do not know what such men are go-
ingto do. They arepoorinthisworld's
goods, -and -I fear, have _.a__peeverty of.
mind. I know what they should do:
sell every horse that is eating his head
off, get a yoke of oxen and set a bear

TiNPBECEDENTED WINTER.
y A Vienna cable says; The annihli. .
e tion of game. during the excessive cold''
d of the Ottee last days has been beyond
y all precedent, . On one estate near
y 9tirin, in Bohemia, 30 deer, 700 rabbits,
1. and between 2,000 and 3,000 birds have
d been frozen within a few ' hundred
g yards of the castle. In the Bohemian
at forest a it is believed that two-thirds of
✓ the game will die, should the present
weather continue two days more, On
8, the preserves of Hungry the situation
n is still more deplorable. Near Algeo
thousands of head of small game have
perished around the castle of Margrave
' Pallvance. The poor people of the vil-
lage, despite the extreme bitterness of
the weather, have gathered no fewer
than 3,000 rabbits and foxes and birds.
Five deer were found frozen to death
in the street one morning. Hundreds
of deer are reported to linger around
the castle on the outskirts of the vil-
lage of Nida. Scores undoubtedly lie
under the snow drifts, which are piled
up fifteen or twenty feet high all over
the fields and through the forests. As
soon as the weather lunoderates, the
peasants will go out in bands to get
the meat, which the Margrave has al-
ready placed at their disposal. From
all parts of northern and Eastern Hun-
gary, with which communication is
still open, similar reports are received.
Sportsmen in this city believe that
owners of preserves will be obliged to
abstain from hunting for two years at
least, so that the game may multiply
sufficiently to replace the enormous
losses now suffered.
From several villages of Galicia and
Hungary depredations by wolves have
been reported. In a blinding snow-
storm a pack of wolves ran through
the street of a suburb of Buda Pesth.
One seized and devoured a 4 -year-old
child. Two wolves attacked a man at
his door, but he kept them off with a
club while he opened the door and es-
caped inside.
In Sanow, near Lemberg, a wolf en-
tered the kitchen of a peasant woman,
while she was in the stable, and='' tore
and partially devoured her ten -months -
old baby.

THE SULTAN'S PRIZE BEAUTIES.
Four beautiful odalisques, or female
slaves, were recently presented by the
khedive of Egypt to the sultan of Turkey,
and placed in the imperial harem. The
odalisques appear to have had a captivating
influence on the sultan, who paid them so
much attention as to excite the jealousy of
the other women. The slaves were found
murdered in their beds a few days ago,
having fallen victims to poison. The
sultan is said to have been deeply enraged
when he heard of the fate of his favor-
ites, and to have ordered a rigid ingestiga-
tion and the severe punishment of the guilty.
The three eunuchs wbo had access to the ap-
partmente of the victims, have been arrest-
ed on suspicion and are being ,subjected to
torture in order to compel them to make a
full confession, Suspicion of having in-
stigated the crime rests chiefly on one of
the concubines, who, until the arrival of
the odalisques, almost monopolized the
sultan's affections. In the present temper
of his majesty it is doubtful whether even
she would escape the bowstring or the Bos-
phorous should sufficient proof of her guilt
be adduced.
Mr Alien Pringle, of Selby, writing
on "Canada's Future," says: "John
Bull is a man who looks after his own
interests every time, and he will hard-
ly object to Canada doing the very
same thing. When Canada holds out
a flaming address of blarney and mock
loyalty to him in one hand and raises
in the other a great commercial club,
aimed at his head, and does bring it
down.on him, he would hardly be John
Bull if he didn't kick and curse such
'blarsted' loyalty,"

TRIBUTE TO LAURIER.
Times such as these bring upon one
who is the representative of the Crown
no light labor and no light anxiety.
The period during which Sir John
Macdonald was lying stricken down
by the hand of Providence, lying be-
tween life and death, unable himself
to designate his successor, unable
himself formally to renounce his of-
fice, there was thrown upon one a
burden which nothing but the kind-
ness of the Canadian public would
have enabled him to bear. I take this
opportunity publicly of recognizing,
as I have already done on other occa-
sions. the courtesy, the kindness,- the
chivalry with which my honorable
friend, Mr Laurier, and those who
acted with him constitutionally, met
me as the Opposition and aided to tide
us through a difficult and perhaps a
dangerous time. This is one of the
quiet waters in which the Governor-
General had to fish during one period.

The Privy Conncil will hear the appeal
of the religious minority in Manitoba against
the sohool'acts of 1890 on the Slst of this
month. Speaking on this subject at the Tb-
ronto banquet last Thurrd'day, Sir John
Thompson said: "I see only two safe guides
to a safe result. One of them is for the
people themselves. It is that they shall re-
gard that question, as everyone which
comes before ne, in the spirit of toleration,
in the spirit of conciliation, even in the
spirit of concession, where concession oan
bo made without the sacrifice of principle;
and for the Government the guide shall be,
as far as I am able to judge, the constitu-
tion of thin country, by which we purpose
to be guided, and which wo purpose to
obey from beginning to end of the discus-
sion."
The recent rush of gold seekers from
Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and
Arizona to "new digging" in Colorado,
where miners were reported to be
picking up big nuggets of coarse gold
ranging in weight from ten to fifteen
ounces, illustrates Oa character of a
large proportion of the population of
the small towns in the mining States.
Nobody in those places seems to be
satisfied with life unless he owns an in-
