I beard of an e.\ample of courage and fortitude exhibited by a workingman a few days ago which made me feel that we are apt not to give credit to personsof his walk for the possession of qualities which are in the highest degree chivalrous. This man, while working a machine, cut o£F four of his fingers, but instead of complaining of the pain, at unce declared that he wanted them re-united. On being told that there was little or no chance of such an operation being successful when, the patient was over 50 years old, be said : " My family are dependent on me for support and I mast have those Angers back in the old place. ' When the doctor, who was willing to try the experiment of replacing them, pro- posed to give him ether, he refused to tAe It and submitted calmly to the painful operation of sewing on the fingers, which lasted two hours. Something like this happened in Buffalo a few years ago to a skilled artisan in a furniture factory working at machinery for dressing mahogany, which is particularly dangerous. He was having his injury at tended to by a surgeon, when the foreman of his department hurried to him and said : " Sam, what time was it when you got hart ?' Sam replied, â-  About 4 o'clock. Why do you ask ?" " So that I may know when to dock you," relumed the foreman. and hastened off. .4 Faithful Collie. Oqe afternoon recently Mr. John Millar, farmer, Balgove, formerly of Luthrie, near Cupar, left his hoose for St. .Andrews, Fifeshire, and was seen in the course of the evening on the Crail Koad, near Brownhills. Mr. Millar was accompanied by a collie dog. and as he did not return home at night fears were entertained that he had met with some mischance. During the whole of the next day search parties were busy locking for him, but unsuccess- fully. During the evening a gamekeeper at UUston. near Largo, was attracted by the appearance of a dog in a field. He endeavoreil to entice it with him, but it would not come, and on following the animal he c-ame upon a man lying among the snow in an unconscious condition, and evidently beiiunibt-d with cold and expv>- sure. The gamekeeper went to procure assistance, but on returning the faithful aog would allow no one to touch the man. It was at first coa.xed. and then threatened and beaten with a stick, with the result that it became more savage, and at last the gamekeei>er had to disable the animal by shooting it in the back. The man was taken to a house near at hand, and he proved to be the mifsing farmer. He was in a very weak condition, and must have succumbed during the night had his where- abouts not been revealwl by the dog, which unfortunately died from the gun shot. wonder, because the girl was well paid in proportion to her good looks â€" for it is de- Uciously swell now to have a pretty body servant. She had not seemingly been dis- satisfied with her work or wages. Her employer feared that some sentimental harm had come to her. and charitably went so far as to hire a private detective to hunt her up. Where do you think he found her? She was an advertising exhibit in a hair- wash establishment. There is a boom on in that industry. Phenomenally long- haired women are posed in the window of stores where hair tonics are on sale, and competition is hot. The comely maid had luxuriant tresses, which grew so heavily and rapidly that she went periodically to a hair-dresser to have them cat short. • How much wages do you get .'" he asked her. â- â€¢ Twen'v-four dollars a month.' she replied. • I caj get you doable that," he said.

Lace may be washed by winding it round bottles or sewing it on muslm and boiling it in soft water with white castile soap. It should be rinsed in soft water after remov- ing it from the suds. Salt, in doses of one to four teaspoonfuls in half a pint to a pmt of tepid water, is an emetic always on hand. This is also an antidote to be used after p-jisoning from nitrate of silver while waiting for the doctor to come. A gooil knowledge of watering is at the bottom of success with the window flowers. Water must run in readily and run out readily. When a plant is \.ell wateretl. it IS a good sign to see the water rush out at once into the saucer through the bottom of the pot. If it does not do that, something is wrong. Never place fresh eggs near lard, fruit, cheese, fish or other articles from which any odor arises. The eggs are e.ttremely active in absorbing power, and in a very short time they will be contamioated by the particles of objects m their neighbor- hood, by which the peculiar and ex- 'luisite taste of a new-laid egg will be destroyed.

It will thus display those achievements which have done so much to promote the progress of the Empire.

The Colonial and Indian courts will exem- plify : 1 The dora and fauna of the sev- eral colonies and India ; b their cereal and mineral products ; â- â€¢ literature having reference to each particular colony. By ibus concentrating the principal features of each dependency of Her Majesty s Em pire, the people will be enabled not only to acquire a good general knowledge of British possessions as a whole, but also to see and study for themselves those proiiucis char- acteristic of any particular colony.

Besides the courts specified there will be otiiers devoted to war trophies, exploration, life-saving and ambu- lance, machinery and implements, etc. Magnificent buildings have been erected, and although other exhibitions to be held this year wUl undoubteiily be full of inter- est and instruction, none seem to have put forward a scheme more illustrative of the various achievements of Victoria s reign than the Liverpool people.

James Brodie, of Orniiston, Scotland, who died recently, was totally blind from the time he was three months old. He was ordained in l!(75. He had nearly the whole Bible by heart, having a most retentive memory. He was a good singer and musi- cian, playing skilfully on the piano and violin. His ministry was earnest and faith- ful, and he passed away after only a few hours' serious illness. *â-  â€" â- â- -'v ^iibiiMta iMittiii
