instead of trying clhietely to save the
manure hy composting it in the same
room wieh the stock, that is something
that neve.r ought to be done. The coin-

ter into moist mould, that will help to
hold ammonia., instead. of into dry ash,
that will dissipate it. Instead of pro-
viding covered barnyards to hold the
i.anure, ,it should be brought outside

FARMER -SALESMAN.
The farmer is not miry a producer,
but a manufacturer, a ekilled work-
man and a salesniane Seldom it is
• that one man excels in all the requis-
ites which make up the successful, farm
Matneger. A knoeveed.ge of markets is
of the highest importaince. The prices

ANESTHETICS.
What Surgery gained Front the great his-
covery.
Dr. Brudnell Carter contrasts in
strong colors ,wialat surgery was before
the discovery of an anesthesia and what
it is to -day. The use of anesthetics has
-changed its whole aspect. Prior to 1847
operations were few in number and
were almost limited to the amputation
of limbs, the removal of cancerous; and
other tumors. the resection of a few
of the larger joints, cutting for stone.
and. the ligature of main arteries for
aneurism, The pain suffered by the pa-
tients was so horrible as to tax severe-
ly the endurance of, the bravest and,
strongest, and to depress seriously and
often beyond reeall the powers of life.
Death from shock was by no means
uncommon, the patient sinking in a few
hours frorn the effeot of the •suffering
which he had undergone. Dr. Carter
remembers as a medical student turn-
ing sick and faint at the agonies which
he was called. upon to witness. It was
a point of Oonor with operators in these
days to abbreviate such agonies as
miaoh as possible and to cultivate speed
in operating as the highest and most
valuable form of dexterity, An ampu-
tation in the hands of a practical sur-
geon had almost the appearance of a
Leat of legerdemain. For the separa-
tion of the ewer limb above the knee
-of course( not including dressing -20
seoonds hair been known to suffice, and
40 seconds was regarded as the period
of time which no one was justified in
exceeding. When anesthetics were em-
ployed it came to surgeons as a kind
of revelation that they need no longer
be in haste, and they have utilized that
knowledge in marking leisurely exam-
ination and safe procedure.
PEARLS OF TRUTH.
Don't talk of what you are going to
do, Do it.
A tattered conscience entails an ir-
regular life.
Disgrace does not consist in the pun-
isinuent, but in the crime.
The very first step toward action is
the death warrant of doubt.
The less religion there is in a churoh
the more oysters and ice cream it takes
to run it.
Few men have a life plan, although
many a week, year, youtlu or business
plan.
To feel, to love, to suffer, to live for
self -devotion. will ever be the text of
a Woman's life.
When a world of men could not pre-
vail with all their oratory, yet hath
a woman's kindness overruled.
Bestow nothing, receive nothing; sow
now nothing, reap nothing; bear no
burden of others, be crushed under
your own.
. We should have a glorious conflag-
ration if all who can not put fire into
their books Would put their books into
the fire.
Seldom ever was any knowledge given
to keep but to impart; the grace of this
rich jewel is lost in concealment.
•The • ithambers of the brain are full
of seed, for wbich the feelings and pas-
sions are the flower, soil, and. the forc-
ing glasses.
Look upon the success and sweetness
of thy duties as very ranch depending
upon the keeping of thy heart closely
with God in them.
" Wherever there is the faculty to
weigh evidence, the fact of the Resur-
rection of Christ must compel assent
and submission." - -
A slave has but one master -the am-
bitious man has as many masters as
there are persons whose aid may con-
tribute to the advancement of his fu-
ture.
Most Inatures are insolvent; can not
satisfy their own wants, have an ambi-
tion out of all proportion to their prac-
tical force, and so do lean and beg day

ably welleperbaps, without God at noon;

GAMBLING PASSION.
It is Meet Peosiounced in the Cheese -
Whist They Itesort To.
Among no people is gambling so wide-
spread and of such an inveterate char-
acter as among the Chinese. When a
Chinamen has gambled away all his
moneo, elotthig and inanimate posses-
sions, he will proceed to hi
stake s wife

and children, reserving himself for a
last hazard, In ether words, after hav-
ing completely ruined himself, and his
family, he will TUO the risk of life-long
slavery for the sake of seeing another
turn of the wheel of fortune. If he
loses this he commonly cheats the win -
ner by committing suicide. It is not-
orious that Chinese 000lies, having la-
bored for years in foreign countries
to amass an independence, will gamble
the whole away during the first few
days of their homeward voyage, and
have to work their paseage back in the
next ship. In Europe and the New
World the 'most inveterate gamblers are
the Spaniards and their descendants.
Among African tribe e the Hussars run
the Chinese very close, and there are
• some Kanaka tribes in the South Seas
who push the hazard of gambling be-

of a murder done by a German army

ago. The cabled reports of the mur-

of similar cases and will recognize in
the following narrative the familiar
iharacters and incidents of the ever-
lasting conflict between th'e German
soldier and the German civilian. Tlae
facts are taken from the Badisehe Lau-
deszeitung, Badisohe Landeebote, and
the FrankOrter Zeitung, and are given
in their unvarnished atrocity.
It Was between 11 and 12 o'clock at
night in the restaurant of tbe Hotel
Tannhau-ser in Karlsruhe. Lieut. Theron
Bruesewitz of the Karisruhe garrison
sat with several other officers at a
table in tbe middle of the room. He and
his friends had been drinking, but not
heavily. All were in full uniform.
A master machinist named Siebmann
entered the restaurant with two wo-
men. Siebmann had not been drinking.
Ile was known as a man of

industry, and inoffeiviive ways. He had
prospered in his business, and owned
considerable property in Karisrube. lie
and the two women were joined near
the door of the restaurantby his friend
Walz, and the party took seats at the
table nexm to ihe one occupied by the '
officers. As Siebmann turned to call
a waiter his chair rubbed against Brue-
sewitzei. In an instant the Lieute-
nant Baron turned on him and called
bim rude and unmannerly. Siebmann
bore these reproaches with civilian
meekreese. He made no reply, but drew
away his chair. Eventually Bruese-
witz roared:
"A man with any decency about Win
would, beg T3r pardon under such cir-
ounistancee.
"I do not know what reason I have
to beg your pardon," Siebmann replied
Bruesewitz's tehmer then broke loose.
He demanded that the landlord put
Siebmann out. The landlord refused to
do so. Bruesewitz jumped up, threw
back his chair, drew his sword, and
tried to make a tbrust at Siebmann,
but was caught and. held back by the
landlord and a waiter. Then he sat
down and for fifteen minutes or more
devoted himself to conversation with
his friends. Whether they incited him
to renew the attack on Siebmann or
not is unknown but at all events he
did renew the attack, heaping
INSULT AFTER INSULT
upon the civilian.
Liebmann told Walz he feared tbe
quarrel was disturbing the guests in
the restaurant; he thought the best
way to end it was to go home. He him-
self would. go outside and Welz might
come a moment later with the two wo-
men. So as to attract as little atten-
tion as passible Liebmann left his coat
and hat to be brought to him by Wale.
As he left the room Liebmann met the
landlord. He talked over the quarrel,
and told him in ease Bruesewitz really
felt himself insulted it would do no
harm for the landlord to inform him
that Liebmann bad apologized. Lieb-
mann said good -night and was about
to pass on when Bruesewitz, accompan-
ied. by two officers, appeared at tlai
door. The landlord foresaw trouble,
and he at once made the apology au-
thorized by Liebmann. Bruesewitz did
not reply. He fixed his eyes on •Lieb-
mann's retreating figure, drew his
sword, and sprang after him. Leib -
mann heard him coming and turned.
"You have mortally insulted •ine,"
shouted the Lieutenant. "You have
stained my honor. I must have satis-
faction or I shall be dismissed from the
service."
So this brave officer and baron pro-
ceeded to avenge bimself, cleanse his
honor, and fit himself to continue as-
sociating with othei barons and, offi-
cers Liebmann stood before him un-
armed, and calling out that he had

on the man, pushed him back, and with

THE EFFECTS OF DANGER.
With Some Men it Brightens the Intellect,
While others Are St:opined.
The pcnver a rapid action differs en-
ormously in different individuals -more
especially in sudden danger. With
some men, remarks a writer 'in one
of Cassell's publications, imminent per-
il seems to brighten the intellect,
quicken the power of decision. and in-
crease the obedience of band or limb,
to eye and ear. In others, the sharp
shock of sudden danger relaxes the
-ill power, stupifies rather than sti-
mulates, and changes a capable and
energetic man into a monument of in-
capacity and. surprise.
In the Red Sea, one burning hot
morning, I was reading quietly on the
taffrail of an outbound P. ancle.0. boat.
ene of the smart young cavalry offi-
cers on the way out to join his regi-
ment was playingwith ,a little girl of
6. She was running away from him,
shouting with merriment, and heedless
of consequences so long as she escaped
from her pursuer. The slopinguul-
wark surrounding the taffrait is not
2 feet high, but a railing of iron stan-
chion, with two horizontal ebonies,
forms a protection against ordinary'
danger. Little Sunbeam, as she was
called, rushed past me, -laughing loudly,
leapet through the lower chain,. of the
stanchion railing, and was in the boil-
ing wake of the steamer befOre any
one could comprehend danger.. I rose
suddenly as I saw the child gain the
bulwark, and two curious things hap-
ened.
A 'form rushed past me, and before
the child' 'hacl struck the water the
young cavalry sub had flung himself
over ,the railing and was in the air.
.Thei two bodies struck the water with-

both- rose they were not 3 yards apart.

or shotguns.
As it was three of the employes were
injused, namely, Joseph Lancaster.
Henry Adam, Robert Charlton. Two
other young men who were in the
building seamed unhurt, viz., Joseph
Lancaster, Jr., and Jaek Young.
Mr. Lancester, sr., when taken froni
the ruins was found. to be badly
scalded and burned about the head
and. arms. He was conveyed to hie
home, which was near by, and is attend-
ed by Dr. Hastings.

moved with, the greatest care,
Robert Chariton, the third ruaia, was
first taken to Lee's drug store, on
Xing street, where he was found to be
severely scalded. Ile also was taken
to the hospital in tlae ambulance,.
The force of the explosion was such
as to wreek the entire building, o.
two-storey brick structure, extending
about sixty feet along Front street.
Immediately after the explosion flarneis
broke out fiercely, and the firemen
were busily engaged in theowing wa-
ter on them to keep the fire from
spreading. While attending to his
duty at the commencement, Fireman
Hart, received a severe blow from a
falling brick, but was not seriously
injured. The buildings adjoining the
Paterson Manufacturing Company
also suffered somewhat in broken
glass the result of the shock. A rough
estimate of the loss, which. however, is
possibly extravagant, is $20,000. The
boiler -room, where the trouble origin-
ated, is in charge of Joseph Lang, who
fortunately was absent at; breakfast
when the explosion occurred.
Mr. L. N. Paterson, the manager
of the company, is absent from the
city, so that an accurate statement of
damage and the extent to which the
premises were insured cannot be ob-
tained.
The proximity of one of the Gas Com-
pany's large gasometers to the scene
caused some apprehension for a time
lest the fire should spread in that di-
rection. The splendid work of the
brigade, however, effectually checked
the advance of the fire king,

The Schooner Maggie Cut in Two by the

A despatc,b, from St. John's, Nfld.,

the schooner Maggie, bound from Bona -

of fish and lumber. The schooner car-

pessengers, five of whom were women.
The schooner had her lights displayed.,
and there was no justification on the
steamer's part for the coilision because
the night was clear, and the schooner
