AN ELEGY
By vj. Houston, M. A.
O great Seganku, thou didst come-

,.ut too unwary thou didet go;
Thoucouldst not match thy human foe;
Thy heedless foot betrayed thy trunk,
Poor Skunk.

Attest tg Hades thou haat sunk,
Poor Skunk.
ere wily Reynard naught;
seeing all, but touching naught,

Poor Skunk.
Thou soughtete.liohepen.. en ep bright,
But eater fari market night
Beside thy phosphorescent punk,
Poor Skunk.
There less thou wouldet have seen,'tis sure,
But happy hadet thou been, tho' poor,
And safely gnawed thy meagre chunk,
Poor Skunk,
Redolent mueteloid, what train
Of thoughts passed thro' thy brain
When thou didat get that dreadful tunk,
Poor Skunk,
.From akunkieh view thou aye didet well;
Thou nowhere wentst without thy smell
And ne'er in battle didet thou blunk,
Poor Skunk.
Th{;, a stripes and nuchal spot of white
rose boldly glorious on our sight;
Alas! now; for thy lifeless trunk,
Poor Skunk.
Right consciona of thy odor strong,
With stately stride thou mov'dst along;
Full well thou knewst all feared thy funk,
Poor Skunk.
Mephitioa Mephitis! thou
Who wast so formidable, now
Lieet'harwlese there as any monk,
Poor Skunk.
Against thy fate thov strov'st in vain;
Thon'It never see thy woods again;
Thou'stgmade thy last weak,gurgling plunk
Poor Skunk'.
But, tho' thou rottest under ground,
Skunks bipedal shall still be found,
Would they, like thee, alt low had sunk,
Poor Skunk.

for the Heart Fell Into the Breach, and
in a few Minutes After One Dose He
Found Great Relief, and Five Bottles
Made a Bad Heart a Good One.
Wm. Cherry, of Owen Sound, Ont.,
writes: ''For the past too years I have been
greatly troubled with weakness of the heart
and fainting spells. I tried several reme-
dies, and consulted best physicians without
any apparent relief. I {noticed testimonials
of great cures made by Dr. Agnew's Cure
for the Ileart. I procured a bottle and the
first dose gave me great relief. The first
bottle did wonders for me. After using five
bottles there are none of the symptoms re-
maining whatever. I tkink it a great boon
to_nrankind.” Sold by Watts & Co.
For some time prior to its leaving office,
the late Government kept appointing many
persons to civil service positions not only
in the capital but in other parte of the
country. In Montreal, for example, a large
number of temporary clerks were put its

discovered that they were not required—
that their appointments could not be de-
fended on the ground of public poHoy.
Twenty-five of these temporary employes
have now to look eltewhere for work.

JACKSON'S INAUGURATION.
10. Mob Followed Him From the Capitol
and Invaded the White House.
Mr. Joseph B. Bishop, in his article on
"Inauguration Scenes and Incidents" in
The Century, says of President Jackson's
inauguration:
An eyewitness, who took a somewhat
jocose view of the day's events, wrote that
the most remarkable feature about Jack-
son as he marched down the aisle of the
senate with a quick, largo step, as though
ho proposed to storm the capitol, was his
double pair of spectacles. He habitually
wore two pairs, one for reading and the
other for seeing at a distance, the pair not
in use being placed across the top of his
head. On this occasion, says the eyewit-
ness, the pair on his head reflected the
light, and soine of the rural admirers of
the old hero wore firmly persuaded that
they .were two plates of metal let into his
bead to close up holes made by British
bullets. • When he appeared on the portico,
we are told that the shout which arose
rent the air and seemed to shake the very
ground. The ceremony ended, the general
mounted his horse to proceed to the White
House, and the whole crowd followed him.
"The president," says a contemporary
writer, "was literally pursued by a motley
concourse of people, riding, running helter
skolter, striving who should first gain ad-
mittance intro the executive mansion,
where it was understood that refreshments
were to he distributed." An abundance of
refreshments had been provided, inohiding
many barrels of orange punch. As the
waiters opened the doors to bring out the
upon
in pails the crowd rushed
them, upsetting the pails and breaking the
glasses. Inside the house the crush was so
great that distribution ,:of refreshments
was impossible, and tubs of orange punch
were set out in the grounds to entice peo-
ple from the rooms. Jackson himself was
so pressed against the wall of the reception
room that he was in danger of injury and
was protected by a number of men linking
arms and forming a barrier against the
crowd. Men with boots heavy with mud
stood on the satin covered chairs and sofas
in their eagerness to get a view of the he-
ro. Judge Story wrote that the crowd con-
tained all sorts of people, from the highest
and most polished down to the most vul•
gar and groes in the nation. 1/I never saw
such a mixture," he added. ",The reign of
King Mob seemed triumphan- I was glad
to escape from the scene as soon as peal -
bis."

!Ninety-four Styles Made and Their Mau-
nfaoture as Important Industry.
One New York firm alone turns out
yearly an average of more,than $2001000
worth of gager ribbons and on these em-
ploys -nearly 600 bands. Unttl 1868, it le
said, no oig+ar ribbons were manufactured
here.. The useWof silk ribbons to tie up ci-
gars originated in Cuba. The Spaniard's
patriotism funnelled him to choose the na-
tional coiors of red and yellow, and these
two colors, separate or in combination, are
still the favorttea. The flret ribbons were
made in Barcelona and were the rich crim-
son searlei known as the Figaro, the vivid
yellow of the Cabanas and Partigas and
the red and yellow of the Espanola.
The first domestic ribbons made were of
cotton, of a pale yellow with a brown
stripe running down the center, and this
was speedily foilowbd by a ribbon made
wholly of silk. In 1808 a cigar manufac-
turer in this country conceived the idea of
having his name printed on the silk rib-
bon, which had hitherto been plain, and
also the shape of the cigar. This was at
first done in blank, then in colors and
eventually in silver and gold, with em-
bossed work and coats of arms. Then the
name was woven into the ribbon instead
of being printed. Many of these ribbons
are still in use on expensive goods. Woven
ribbon is very valuable as a trademark,
since it is impossible to duplicate it in
small quantities.
In 180 the first ribbon factory was es-
tablished in this country by a man 'named
Wioke, who established a small factory
near the East river. It was operated by
two Swiss. The demand for the ribbon in-
creased, and in 1870 the profits were so
good that a four loom factory was started
and operated by Swiss weavers especially
imported, Only two, widths of what is
termed "Londres" ribbons were then
made. In 1887 there were more ribbons
used in proportion to the total number of
cigars manufactured in this country than
in any other year, and since then the bun-
dling of cigars has steadily decreased In
favor of the system of packing 25 or 50 in
a box without ribbons, but so great has
been the increase in the number of cigars
made, now over 4,000,000,000 yearly, that
the ribbon business has not decreased, but
has steadily held its own.
The raw silk for the ribbon is imported
direct from Japan and China. There are
94 styles of cigar ribbons made, varying
in width from one-eighth of an inch to 1
Inches. United States ribbons are sold in
Canada in preference to the English make,
although the duty on our good is heavier.
Some of the machinery is very interesting,
especially that used for weaving in the
name of the firm in'bl`ack.
. Some years ago the general public war
bitten by a cigar ribbon fad, and many
ribbons were sold by cigar dealers to make
lamhrcquins, sofa cushions, etc.. A wom-
an in New Haven made a table mat of 45(

Quick Beef Extract.
A quick way to make a strong beef ex-
tract rather than tea for an invalid need-
ing plenty of nourishment is by a process
of searing and preening. Raw, juicy beef
is out into pieces the size of a small egg.
These are put into a very hot skillet and
quickly seared on all sides. They are then
rapidly taken off in a hot, deep dish and
pressed firmly with a wooden spoon ord
spatula to extract the juice, the meat bo-
ing often returned to the fire to continue
its heat, and as often taken off to squeeze
out more. A glass lemon squeezer may be
tend if preferred. The juice should be
served very hot, alightly salted, and in a
solored glass.—New York Post.

GRATUITIES.
Mr. Cowan, the member for South Essex
who, by the way, is one of the waters of
the House, will probably succeed in having
his alien labor law put .on the statute book,
The Government will adopt the measure
and aid in having it put through. It is
practically a copy of the United States la-
bor law, which has been operaeed to the
disadvantage of Canadians, with the addi-
tion of the Corliss amendment. The mea-
sure will prohibit persons living in Detroit
from coming to work alhl day in Windsor,
returning to Detroit at night, It will be
applied in a similar manner at other points
along the border. The clause dealing
with the stoppage of work people will not
go into effect unless by proclamation of
the Governor -General -in -Council. Thus, if
the Corliss measure, vetoed by ex -Presi-
dent Cievtland, before leaving otlice,ehould
at an time be made law, the Governor -in -
Council will be able to at once place a sim-
ilar law in operation in this country..
The Tipping Evil Is Worse Here Than It
Is In Europe. '
Rarely in hotels, at hone or abroad,
does one get much attention for more than
a day or two without feeling or letting if
bo known that fed may be expected final•
ly for proper service. This is the sad re•
suit of lavish giving in days gone by or
the part of Americans, who did not know
first what to offer and desired that the
servants should not think them mean.
The evil probably never will be reformed.
All that the traveler can do now is to in.
sist on excellent attention and then give
what seems proper, utterly regardless of
the recipient's opinion. If one really cares
for•what is thought, peace of mind on a
journey or in the hotel is not for him. The
poorest service in hotels is given by the
women servants, and therefore the house.
keeper may often be sent for to note neglect
in cleanliness. This may require a fee, toe
(about 6 francs), but the service thereafter
is likely to be sullen, so that finally, whet
the situation is not to be borne without
loss of temper, one wisely concludes that
the hotel is not of his kind, and he goes
elsewhere. It is worth while to oompiair
once he the manager if matters are wrong,
but if that effects no reform one had better
move on, because it will be evident that
the management does not care whether he
stays or goes. The European landlord, and
especially the landlady, is a callous orea-
ture, who smiles and smiles and le a vil
lain still.
Yet the evil of feeing is worse at home.
It is hardly possible to make anything let

brother of T. Fraser, 2nd con. of Stanley :
One of the best -liked of the newer genera-
tion of M.P.'e is Mr John Fraser, the gen-
ial representative of East Lambton. Mr
Fraser' who is in the prime of life, was
boon in Inverness shire, Scotland, and,
in 1852, while vet a small boy, name with
bis parents to McGillivray township, Mid-

ming, and be was sent to to the public
school. Subsequently be entered the store
of Parkinson & Atkinson in Ailsa Craig,
Afterwards be completed his education at
the Middlesex Seminary, attending that
seat of learning (near Komoka) in' 1866-67.
His school education being completed, Mr
Fraser went into the service of Messrs.
In
he went to

dry goods business in that enterprising
town, Liter ,For a similar period, he was
manager of the Crown Savings and Loan
Company. Mr Fraser has for a number of
years been engaged in the oil business. own-
ing a large number of wells in the Ennis-
killen field. For a dozen years he was in
municipal life, having been elected mayor
for four years. He has served his fellow
citizens as high and public school trustee,
and he has been president of the 8t. An-
drew's Society In nation Al affairs Mr
Fraser has always taken a keen interest,
and when, prior to last general election,
his Liberal friends in East Lambton selec-
ted him as their candidate for the House
of Commous it was recognized that his
election was sure, and so it proved to be.
