DAINTY WAYS OF SERVING CORN.
Corn Soup.—Grate one quart of
sweet corn when in roasting ear, add
three pints of boiling water; salt and
pepper and a teaspoon of sugar. Cook
ten minutes, add a half cup of sweet
.cream, a tablespoonful of butter, and
serve hot.
Fried Corn.—Cut a thin slice from
the top of the grains, then with the
knack of the knife press out thelpulp;
have teaspoon of butter very hot;put in
the Dorn, season with salt and pepper,
stir, frequently until nicely browned,
then add a very little boiling water,
cover closely and cook five minutes,
and serve hot. Field corn is almost as
nice as sweet corn if a little sugar is
added as it is frying.
Scalloped Corn.—Cut the corn from
the nob as fried corn. In the bottom
of a baking dish put a layer of corn,
season with salt, pepper and bits of
butter, then ascant layer of stale
bread crumbs rolled very fine and sea-
soned with a little salt, pepper and
butter; add more corn; then more
crumbs, and so on until all is used,
having crumbs on top. Add enough

Are delicious.
JELLY MAKING.
This is the season for making rhu-
barb jelly, as the early spring rhubarb
lacks the quality needed to "jell."
Wash the rhubarb well, but donut peel
it, as the skin gives the pretty pink
color to the prepared plant. Cut it in
inch pieces, never minding if it be
stringy. Allow half a cupful of water
to each pound of rhubarb, and let it
stew gen, ly in a granite or porcelain
ke,th unt 1 all in shreds. St ain
,urough a cheesecloth or flannel bag.
allow a pound of, sugar to each pint of
juice. Let the juice boil gently for
twenty minutes, add the sugar, stir
until all the lumps are dissolved and
withdraw the spoon. Turn into
glasses which have been rolled in hot
water and cover closely when cold and
firm. Not only will it be found a
"tasty" jelly, but an exquisitely colored
one as well, that will add a irosytouch
one as well, that will add a rev touch
of color to the "pink tea."
For apple jelly wash the apples or

fire; pour them into a large cheese-
cloth bag, which is better than flan-
nel; hang this bag up to drip. The
jelly will be clearer if you do not
squeeze it. Measure the juice and to
ery pint allow an equal quantity of
grantee.' ed sugar. Return the juice to
the kettle, and when it boils add the
sugar slowly. Remove the scum from
time to time. Let it boil until it jel-
lies, which will be in twenty or thirty
minute . Put it in the tumblers, and
when cold cover it with two thickness-
es of thin paper, each one dipped in
white of egg, which will keep the pa -

if found, will make the members of
the party independently wealthy, an
expedition left SiLka, a few weeks ago
for one of the islands off the Alaskan
coast. At its head was old Russian,
Popoff by name, who for thirty years
has been trying to get some one with
money to send him in search of the
amber mine. this story is an interest-
ing one. Some thirty years ago he
was a sailor on board a Russian seal-
ing vessel, which was wreaked -on one
of the small islands off the Alaskan
coast. The crew managed to reach
another small island in the schoonerls
boats, and nearly starved before a
Russian war vessel happened along
and rescued them.
While on the island they found
quantities of amber and traced it to
a big ledge. The pieces of amber
which they had in their possession
when taken on board the war ship
were taken away by the officers. Pop-
off managed to smuggle one small
piece away and has hung to it ever
Sues.
He tried many times to have an ex-
pedition outfitted, but never succeed-
ed. During the recent mining excite-
ment in the north he got as far as
SiLka, where he became stranded. „He
confided his secret to a few friends
and they furnished the money that
outfitted the party. Popoff goes with
them as guide and expects to be !back
in Sitka within six months.

AGE.
MR, WM. ELLIOTT TELLS HOW TO
OBTAIN IT.
Ile Iias Been Subject to Feinting Spells
and Cramps -Was Gradually growing
Weaker and Weaker.
From the Echo, Plattsville, Ont.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have attain-
ed a most enviable reputation in this
commu.uity. Probably no other medi-
cine had such a large
and increas-
ing
inc1eas-ing sale here. The reason is that this
medicine cures. Old and young alike
aro benefited by its use. Recently we
Printed an account of a remarkable
cure of a well known lady of this place
through the agency of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and since publishing that
we have heard of another similar case.
Mr. Wm. Elliott, a farmer living near
Bright, is a well known figure there.
Although an old man he almost daily
walks to the village, a distance of
nearly a mile, for his mail. Many
years ago he came from Scotland to
the farm on which he now lives and
cleared it of forest. In conversation
with him, he related to an Echo re-
porter the following: "I am 78 years
of age and strong and healthy for an
old man. Mine, has been a vigorous
constitution and up till six years ago
I hardly knew what it was to have
a day's illness. But then my health
began to fail. I became subject to
cramps in the stomach. I was treat-
ed by doctors, but received no benefit.
I gradually grew weaker and as 1
was past the threee score and ten, 1
thought my time had come. Next
I took fainting fits and often
I ,would have to be carried back
to the house entirely helpless. The
doctors said my trouble was
general weakness due to old age and
advised me to carry some stimulant
with me to use when I felt a faintness
coming on, but this I refused to do. I
had read in the papers of Dr. William's
Pink Pills and thought they would be
specially adapted to my case. I tried
one' box but they did not seem to help
me. In fact I thought I felt worse. I
decided to continue them, however,
and'after taking four boxes there was
a marked improvement. My strength
returned and I was no longer troubled
with fainting spells. In six months
time with this treatment I gained fif-
teen pounds, taking in all eight boxes
of the Pills. To -day Tam a well man
and I owe my complete recovery to
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
These pills cure not by purging the
system as do ordinary medicines, but
by enriching the blood and strength-
ening the nerves. They cure rheuma-
tism sciatica, locomotor ataxia, para-
lysis, heart trotibles, erysipelas and all
forms of weakness. Ladies will find
them an unrivalled medicine for . all
ailments peculiar to the sex; restoring
health and vigor, and bringing a rosy
glow to pale and sallow cheeks. There
is no other medicine " just as good."
See that the full name, Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Palet People is on every
package you buy. If your dealer does
not have them, they will be sent post
paid at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for
$2.50, by addressing the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., or

• THE DEATH Off' GENERAL GORDON, KHARTOUM, AR TOU M, JANUARV a6, 1885.
c
ORAVETtla OF TO BEA
LONELY SABLE ISLAND AND THE
PERILS IT PRESENTS.
Fifty Miles of Saud Bars ht the North At-
lantic Upon p°u 1Yhlch Illfauy, n Good Ship
Has Iteeu Wrecked—Terror 1[tHoltls for
Mariners—Its Ghost and Its Pirates.
Sable Island proper is about twenty-
onei miles long and not more than one
mile wide at any part. It consists of
two parallel ridges of sand, which rise
in a succession of hammocks. for the
entire length. It is shaped like a bow,
the concave side being toward the land,
or distant ooaat of Nova Scotia. The
most dangerous features of this dan-
gerous island, are its long sandbars,
which extend for many miles at eith-
er end. These bars are for the most
part submerged, only small parts be-
ing bare at low tide. The northeast bar
is about nineteen miles long. Thus Sa-
ble Island, with its bars, forms in rough
weather, a line of roaring, surging
breakers fifty miles in length, In
calmer weather the sea breaks with a
low moan on the sandy shores, and the
phosphoresdent effects produced on a
dark night are weird and beautiful.
Between sixty and seventy years ago
a small harbor existed here, into which
vessels could enter for safety, but in
1820 one of the terrific gales that sweep
this coast tore away the sand at one
part of the island and threw it up at
another, completely blocking the en-
trance to the•b r a and imprisoning
r o n mrisoniu
P g
forever several small vessels which had
taken refuge there from the storm,
and the remains of which may be still
diseerned, partly buried in the sand.
The island itself is simply a vast ac-
cumulation of coarse, gray sand. It is
ABSOLUTELY TREELESS,
not even a large shrub being produc-
ed, but in the valley between the two
parallel ridges many wild flowers
abound, as well as some of the small
fruits indigenous to 1 hese latitudes,
and a long, coarse, grass grows abun-
dantly. Some authorities contend that
the island owes its origin to the vary-
ing currents and eddies that. piny about
this part of the north Atlantic, and
make the sands their spoil, and that
at some future time the sands will
shift and leave no part of the island
above water. Then indeed would this
submerged sandbank prove a greater
menace than now, for no beacon light
to warn the mariner, could stand on
the shoals, Whether this theory is cor-
rect or not only time can tell, but
truth it is that the sea is gradually
encroaching on the outer side, the
lighthouse at this eud having had to
be removed three times within recent
years. Actual measurements shogw that
more than one mile of the islalhd has
disappeared on the seaward side within
a few years. On the other hand, the
sand torn away here is thrown up at
some other point, and a change in the
formation of the island is constantly
taking place, and this may continue
to, be the case instead of actual disap-
pearance. The island has decreased in
size from forty miles in length and
two and a half is width to its present
dimensions since a record has been
kept. The astounding statements have
been officially made that eleven miles
of the west end disappeared in the
years between 1803 and 1833, thirty-
three
hirtythree feet of the entire width during
a few hours, and in a severe storm a
section forty-eight feet by a quarter
of a mile sunk under water in a single
night. This• last movement caused a
hasty removal of one of the lighthouses
to a point more distant from the sea.
Of course Sable Island has its ghost
story. A narrow lake about eight miles
long extends through the centre of the
island, and the legend of the 'Lady of
the Lake is related to all who visit here.
The story is in effect that Lhe wife
of an officer in the Halifax garrison
was coming out to join her husband.
She was a passenger by the ill-fated
transport Princess Amelia, and though
safely brought to land at Sable Island,
SHE WAS MURDERED
by the wreckers there, 'who did this to
possess themselves of some valuable
rings which she wore. The finger on
which the rings were worn was sever-
ed from the hand by these pirates. This
lady, so the legend runs, appears fre-
quently in the vicinity of the lake, even
to the present time, and holds up her
bleeding hand to view, showing where
the third finger is missing. Before a
storm' it is her custom to walk on the
beach, and many a patrolman will tell
you he has seen this sad lady, her gar-
ments dripping with sea water, and
her long, dark hair falling wet over
her ehoulders. Those who have watch-
ed her movements affirm that when
startled she disappears in the waters
of the lake, into which her body is sup-
posed to have been thrown by the pir-
atical wreckers. Be this as it may, it
is a well -authenticated fact 1. hat a
ring belonging to the wife of an of-
ficer who was coming out on the trans-
port named to join her husband, and
was drowned at Sable Island, was af-
terward found in asmall jewelry store
in Halifax, and recognized by a friend
of the family, it being of peculiar
workmanship. Some inquiry was made
and the ring traced to a man residing
et a district whence the wreckers were
supposed to have oome, but years had
elapsed, no nut bent io information could
be gleaned, and the matter was allow-
ed to drop.
Very curious effects aro produced
hero by the constantly flying send. All
window glass and anything of that na-
ture becomes quickly eroded, in very
fantnst is shapes, sometimes producing
a beautiful effect.
The natural history of the island is
peculiar. Some gruesome tales are told
of the wild hogs which previous to
1814 roamed al large among the sand
dunes. They were then destroyed by
order of the authorities, on necount of
their propensity to hunt for bodies in
the sand, or attnek those found in the
land -wash. A number of
ENGLISH RABBITS
worn then brought here, and soon be -
name rather troublesome by reason of
their burrowing holes in the sand
which were dangerous for the ponies'
feet. One day some rats landed from
the wreck of a Norwegian ship. Their
colony increased and they soon exter-
minated, the rabbits, The rate commit-
ted such depredations among t.hoGov-
ernment stores that a detachment of
oats was taken down from Halifax. The
oats in their turn destroyed the rats,
but themselves became so numerous
that dogs and shotguns had to be
brought into use to clear them out.
The dogs were then withdrawn and
the horees remain, sole lords of the isle.
When a number of ponies are to be
captured a large herd to driven into

come quite skilful in lassoing and bind-
ing their captives. Places of shelter
have been erected for these horses, but
the hardy little animals refuse to en-
ter them, preferring the open air, even
in severe winter weather. No doubt
generations of exposure have inured
them to the rigors of this northern
climate and they enjoy the freedom, of
their island home. When a storm is
approaching the horses have a pecul-
iar habit of forming themselves into a
triangle with the old veterans on the
outside and the younger members of
the herd in the middle. Thus, formed
into a solid body, they brave the ele-
ments and so great is the Treat gen-
erated that clouds of steam rise into
the air above them and may be dis-
cerned during a pouring rain. When
the ponies need water they have only
to scrape with their feet in the soft
sand. It is a curious circumstance
that Sable Island is like an immense
sponge and retains the rain water.
Fresh water can be produced almost
anywhere by digging not more than
two feet beloyv the surface.
The view as you approach the island
is that of a number of
LOW-LYING SANDY HILLOCKS,
with, the sea rolling in upon the shelv-
ing beach. A close view cannot be ob-
tained from the deck of the steamer,
as no vessel dare approach within a
mile, even in smooth weather, and
frequently happens that the Govern-
ment steamer, after reachidg the is-
land, has to run to the nearest port on
the mainland for shelter, without ef-
fecting a landing, owing to the trem-
endous sea prevailing. At such times
a conversation is carried on with the
island by means of Marryatt's come of
signals. A feeling of desolation must
certainly arise in the hearts of the is-
land dwellers when they see the steam-
er with tidings from the world and
their supplies and necessaries so near
and yet unable to reach them. In such
cases the steamer usually takes refuge
in the port of Canso or Whitehead,
about eighty miles distant, and there
rides out the storm, after which she
returns to the island. It occasionally
happens in very calm summer weath-
er that the ship will anchor for the
night about a mile off, and then ,dis-
charge her cargo by 'daylight, but this
can only be done when the weather
promises most favorably, as no ship
cares to be caught in this locality if
there are any indications of an ap-
proaching storm.
The name of Sable Island has been
frequently mentioned throughout the
civilized world during the past few
months, owing to the loss of the French
ship La Bourgogne. Although the
wreck occurred about sixty miles from
its shores, the island was looked upon
as a likely place to make search for
the bodies of the victims. Prof. Alex-
ander Graham Bell of telephone fame
visited the island in search of the re-
mains of some friends of his who were
victims of the Bourgogne disaster, but
nothing human has fib far been cast
up on these sandy shores. Sable Island
has' given up many dead from the sea,
but the disaster to this French ship
appears to have been too far distant
for any trace to be found there..
REGIMENTAL DOGS.
Bob of the Royal Berkshires, and Jack of
the Scots Guards.
Army pets whose sterling worth is
appreciated by their masters and their
masters' cronies are numberless, but
clogs who rise to the position of "regi-
mental pets," who become part and
parcel of the regiment at home and in
action, and -who receive official recog-
nition, are comparatively few.
Bob was the regimental pet of the 2d
Battalion Royal Berkshires, and a
soldier dog to the back bone. He ac-
companied his regiment to Afghan-
istan, and went through, at the battle
of Maiwand, one of the most terrific
day's fighting that has been known
during the past generation.
Man after man was cut down, but
Bob would not be denied bis share in
the fray. He kept on running to the
front, barking fireooly atthe enemy,
until at length a bullet laid him low.
The wound was serious enough, as it
Lore nearly all the skin off his back,
but be recovered, and once again ac-
companied his old carps into action.
When the regiment returned to
England the next year, Bob received
great honor at the hands of thelqueen,
her majesty not only decorating him
with the medal for the campaign, but
tying it round his nock with her own
hands when the regiment paraded be-
fore her at Osborne House.
Like many another warrior, Bob did
not live long to enjoy the blessings of
peace. In a little more than a year
he was run over and killed in the Isle
of Wight.
"Regimental Jack," the Soots Guards'
dog, took part in the hottest fights in
the Crimea. He became the pet of the
Guards in a curious fashion.
One cold winter's night he was
found by a sentry in St. James's Palace
Gardens. Rome one had been brutal-
ly ill-treating him, and had ended by
flinging him over the high wall.
In befriending the poor animal, the
sentry left his post, and this derelic-
tion of duty being discovered, he was
placed in the guard -room under ar-
rosq:. The dog followed his protector,
and on hearing the story, the officer
was so touched by the dog's gratitude
that tho prisoner was released, with
the proverbial caution.
Henceforth Jack's fortunes were to
be bound up with those of the Scots
Guards.
When the regiment wont to the
Crimea, he very soon' showed the stuff
of which he was made. (At Alma ho

ONE OF THE HEAVY BRIGA'DE'',
General flcnrletl's 'Tr peter the Inmate
of a Workhouse in London,
John Loudon who, with the gal-
lant General Scarlett, was one of the
first men to draw Russian blood in
the memorable charge of the Heavy
Brigade at Balaclava, is an inmate of
St. Pancras workhouse! It was he who
sounded the charge of the "Heavies"
on that glorious morning when a mere
lytndful of General Scarlett's men mow-
ed down " the o'er lapping Russian
lines," after the manner of a reaping
machine. In an interview with a re-
presentative of the London Daily
Chronicle, Loudon spoke as follows of
the awful collision between Gen. Scar-
lett's three hundred and the Russian
line of thousands:
" Well, I sounded the charge, and
we then went for the Russians like
tigers. I was stirrup to stirrup with
the gallant General Scarlett when we
plunged into the enemy's line. It was
a. neck and a neck race between four of
us; to see which would have the honor
of the first onslaught. But goodness
only knows who unhorsed the first of
the enemy. Iknow that General Scar-
lett was on a ,very speedy charger,
and I believe he won a very exciting
race by decapitating the first Rus-
sian. A moment after we crashed
through the line I dropped my bugle
by my side, and then I had to use the
sword in earnest. I was wounded over
the temple and in the right leg, which
now troubles me periodically. But I
did not know I was wounded at the
time. For a few minutes we were
scattered like a flock of sheep, still
we mowed away, now to the right,
again to the left, twisting and turn-
ing, thrusting and slashing. We made
several avenues in the enemies' lines,
through which we rode to the rally.
"Soon after the rally we heard that
the " Lights' were going to have a
go.,
"1 suppose you had a good view of
the charge?"
Oh, yes, until the 'Lights' disap-
peared into a gulf of smoke from the
Russian cannon. I was alongside Gen.
Scarlett when he gave the order. 'The
Heavy Brigade will support the
Lights!' These were, I believe, his ex-
act words. The Lights had then brok-
en into a gallop and were close to
' The 'Valley of Death.' I sounded and
soon myself and General Scarlett were
some thirty yards in front of the ad-
vancing squadrons.
"Suddenly be turned around in the
saddle, and exclaimed, " Why, the
Heavies are retiring I Have you sound-
ed Retire?' He was very much excited,
I replied, 'No, General.' We galloped
back and met Lord Lucan. It was he
who had stopped the Heavies. As near
as 1 can recollect Lord Lucan said to
General Scarlett. 'We've lost the Light
Brigade and we must save the
Heavies,'"
Had the Heavies not been stopped
by Lord Lucan what do you think
would have been the upshot?"
" Oh, undoubtedly, we would have
shared the same fate as the Lights,
bat we would not ,have troubled about
that. We were just in the humour

Loudon holds several letters from
famous warriors."
"Every 25th of October," said he
proudly, " until the day of his death I
was always reminded of the charge by

I am at last in St. Pancras work-
house 1" sighed the old fellow.
Po he is ending his days with a pen-
sion of 9d per day—or at least the St.

feel dislike, that. is the person of whom
you ought never to speak.—Cecil.
More hearts pine away in secret an-
guish for unkindness from those who
should he their comforters, than for
any other calamity in life.—Young.

mingled with sadness; some anxieties
always perplex the reality of our sa-
tisfaction. —Corneille.

painless cure is to be found in Put-
nam's Corn Extractor.—We have test-
ed this and know whereof we speak.
