Mr. Jas. Ross, contractor of the new Regina & Long Lake Railway in the territories, parohasad a very large <iaan- tity of ties along the line of the N. F. R. â- oath. In all he expects to bring in aboat 250 cars to be ased on his railway. These oars are arriving in the city daily, a namber coming in to-day, bat so far the C. P. R. has ref ased to allow a transfer to be made to their line, so that the material can be sent to Regina. It is said that (be C. P. R. management has been approached at di£Ferent times, bat they always take a Stabborn attitade and say these N. P. cars shall not be transferred on their line aotil they are compelled to receive them by order of the Dominion Government. The N.P.R. has offered to pat the tracks together temporarily, taking ap the connec- tion as soon as the ties are over, bat the C. P. R' will not consent to this. The ties will likely have to be transferred to C. P. B. cars by means of teams, which will «oat the contractors considerably more. £gan Bros, have finished their grading contract on the C. P. R. Soaris branch, and will ship their outfit into the city this week. On Monday they start work on the Winnip<>g & Soatheastern Railway. The steamer CoWille arrived at Sdl&'rk from Moose Creek at noon co-day, having on board the body of aa Englishman named Harry Ewing, who was accidentally shot in Wm. Robinson's lumber camp. While one of the workmen named Dan Cameron was handling a gan it was accidentally dis- charged, and the contents lodged in the bead of Ewing, killing him instantly. Cameron gave himself op.

A St. Joseph, Mo., despatch of Thursjay says t At 2.30 this morning three masked robbers entered the residence of Judge Henry Kelly, and going to the room where the judge and his wife were sleeping, one of the robbers covered them with his revolver, while the others searched the room for valuables, obtaining iCOQ in jewels, gold watches and money. The robbers then searched the bed for valuables snd lastly took the rings from Mrs. Kelly's fingers. On the judge staling that he had no money concealed about the house, he was struck over the head with a revolver •nd threatened nith death if he did not tell where the money was. The robbers eaoaped. The Minister's Wife. There is, strictly speaking, no propriety in expecting the woman who has espoused • clergyman to have an exoffioio special fitness for departments of charitable and religions labor. Common sense rules that she may suit him excellently well as a wife, yet be endowed with no particular gifts for " leading meetings " and " taking chairs." Yet by an anomaluas iucoagruity, inseparable from the situation, the next worse thing to absolute iusignifioanoe in her case is decided signitioanoe. To out- shine or to outwork her lord is to demon- strate his insafiioienoy to fill the high and responsible ofiioe to which he was elected. If she be a cipher she detracts from his worth. He cannot, after the manner of other public men, bold in the knowledge that their houses are their oastles, oast himself between her and her censors with â- the protest, "A poor thing, but mine own!" I have known men thus "hindered" to drag the shivering weaklings into the fore (rout of the battle, prick them into action beyond their strength by frantic appeals to expediency, custom, pride, love, piety, antil the vioiims of a false system, wounded •nd wearied to their death, fell under the liarness so much too heavy for them. The gaps they leave are quickly filled, often by stronger stuff. If I dared relate the hum- ble tragedies of this kind which have come luder my eye, the rush of recruits into the plaoes of the fallen martyrs might be less eager. â€" North Americnn Review. m Eaplvilou on a Canarder. A Holyhead cable of Thursday says : The Cnuard liner Cephalonia was seen rounding the Skerries and making for this port at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Upon her arrival it was ascertained that she left Liverpool this morniog at 11 o'clock, bound for Boston, and that aa she was Bearing the Skerries an explosion ooourred in the stokehole.

It is not known bow the explosion was caused, as the maohiuery was examined before leav- ing Liverpool. The voasel will return there. Marion Harland,in speaking of the various phases of woman's philanthropic activity, beautifully says : " Under whatever name we may be working, our end is the same.

American SirU Oopy Thair English Sisters- lASHIOHS, FA0T8 AJID FAHOIES. A Cup of Tea. It seems a simple thing enough ; yet of the millions who use this refreshing and agreeable beverage a very small proportion understand how to prepare it, says the London TeUgram. Bat if not properly made, tea is deprived of a great deal of its valae, and sometimes rendered absolutely injarious. The watar to be used should boU, and it shonld be poured on the tea immediately it boils ; if allowed tooverboU, the peculiar property of boiling water which acta upon tea evaporates and even- tually disappears. Tea should not be a decoction, but an infusion. If allowed to stew it becomes little better than a decoc- tion of tannic acid. Tea that is overdrawn is hurtful to the nerves, and to the diges- tion. As to the precise namber of minutes which should be devoted to the process of drawing, some people will say five min- utes, some seven and some will perhaps go as far as ten, but our experience is in favor of six ; this suffices to bring out the davor, quality and strength. Jasi as much tea as is wanted shoald bs made â€" no mora. Make fresh tea as often as it ii re<[airsd. The replenishing of the teapot with fresh hot water is very objectionable. Aa the thorough heating of the re- ceptacle is of the first imporlanoe, the teapot should be made thoroughly hot before the tea is pal in it. The earthen- ware teapot is preferred to all others by many comioisaears, and it is superfiuous to say that whatever utensil is used for this purpose should be immaculately clean. Tea is an extremely delioata article. Its susceptibility to the odors of commodities n»ar it is a source of danger and deterior- ation, as it readily takes up the smell of ooffee, cocoa, spices, cheese, bacon or other articles of pronounced odor. The com- plainta sometimes made aboat tea woald probably not ariae if always kept in places free from such contagion. Tea should be stored in a warm dry place ; unnecessary exposure to the air shou'd be avoided. Even when securely packed in the leaded chests in which it arrives in England, the change from the glowing heat of eastern skies to the damp and humid atmosphere of this climate deprives tea of much of its beautiful fragrance. Tea of much better quality than is geoerally dispensed at our railway stations and refreshment rooms can be boaght at 2s. per pound. A pound of tea would make ViS cups. This is con- siderably less than a farthing per cup. You may well ask why is it that we should be still charged 4d. and 6d. " for a little hot milk and water slightly flavored with undesirable tannin." The Care of the Hair. The fashionable girl of New York has modelled herself so closely upon her Eng- lish contemporaries in dress, manner and ideas that to the casual observer there seems to be no way o( distinguishing them, not even by voice, for no New York girl rests content until she has acquired the exact tone and inflections of Hon. Miss Charterises and Lady Gwendolens, who rule in snob matters on the other side, says the New York Wr>rld. The Lon- don tailor and ooatmaker makes them indistinguishable as to dress ; tennis, Russian baths and horseback exercise give them the same erect carriage and glowing complexion, and careful imitation results in the same absolutely correct and color- less manner. There is but one point in which they fail of such exact reproduction that they can't be told apart by experts, and that is the silken sleekness of their hair. Ourclimate, with its extremes, is very hard upon the hair and tends, despite care- ful care and brushing, to make it harsh and rough and to break it and rendsr it uneven. The smooth, shiny chestnut looks of the average English girl are one of her greatest charms and this is the way she preserves their beauty : She takes half a pint of pure glycerine which she puts in a quart bottle, and to this she adds six ounces of lime water, shaking the two together vigorously. When these are pro- perly churned the lime water turns the glycerine iuto a white, soft cream. Upon going to bed the female Britisher takes a little of this and rubs it with her finger- tips into the roots of her hair, giving it a vigorous brushing that distributes the cream from roots to tip. This she does once a week, with the result of keeping her hair silken soft and not only preserving its bright ohestnut color, but of keeping the scalp perfectly clean and white. Mrs. Kendal, who wears her hair in smooth bandeaux over her ears, has always used this since her girlhood, with the result that her lucks look as fresh and bright aa when she was 16, and all women know that hair ages as much as the faoe, not only by turning gray but by getting hard and losing its gloss and bright tints. This, with a little cold cream to rub stage paint out of her cheeks with, is the only toilet paint Mrs. Keudal ever OSes. BEIUTT AND aSALTH. The day has ooms when the American woman desires, first of all, to bs baautifal, and then to be healthful, bat to accomplish the first she must first achieve the seoond. The days when a delicate, frail figure and pale face were the outward and visible sign of a delicately bred lady have sunk into the past, almost forgotten, and in their stead an epoch has opened in whioh fresh, bright oomplezioBs and sparkling eyes are the one desired object in our young women's per- sonal appearanos. Whatever pertains to good health her whole sool binds to. She studies hygiene. The laws of health are not to be disobeyed in any way, not even are late hours to be kept, unless a midday nap is taken. No wine, nor tea, nor coffee ; only good, wholesome milk from the cow is to be imbibed by the devotee at beauty's sbriue. Fruit, grains and simply oooked meata, with graham or ooaraa bread, with very little liquid at oieal times ia the very beat diet possible for harrying about the desired results of good health and oouse- quent good looks. The bath, wtiioh ia one of the most, if not the most important fac- tor of health, is s question not easily dealt with. There are some persona who cannot take a cold sponge bath on account of the shock to the nervous system, yet who can take it with great ease after stand- ing a few momenta in hot water. This method ia endorsed by the medical faculty for the quickening of the cucoulation. Qive the Olrls a ctiance. " Ob, how gUd I am that I did not marry that man !" said a young lady not long ago as she watched a passing figure. " How handsome I tboaght he was and how infatuated I was with him I Fortu- nately, just then I went to B to make a visit,' naming a large city, â- â-  and my little Ifi year-old country ideas of men changed. I can see now that I shonld have been miserable with that man, and I cannot be too thankful that 1 was taken away from my folly in the nick of time I" Bat many a girl has not been "taken away in the nick of time," and every woman can guess something of the misery which such girls have endured, however faithfully they may have labored to make the best of their siiaation. Give the girls a chanos. Widen their hori- zon, diapel their sentimentality, and do not abut them away from young men of their own station in life. Then we ahall hear less about "runaway marriages." â€" Ladiei' Home Journal. Cor»»ta and Coaiuetica. The Dubois county, Indiana, teachers' institute, recently in session, passed the following resolution : Resolved, That we are in favor of and ask that a thorough course of instraction on the effects of tight lacing and painting the face with injarious cosmetics be iniroduoed in the Sablic schools, and that we, as teachers, enounoe tight lacing, of cbewiog gum, ct using wire, collon and sawdust pads to deceive in regard to beauty of form, and of bustles to occupy unnecessary room in every conveyance, and render neosasary the use of much expensive material for dresses, and these habits are not worthy of imitation by the children of Eve, believing that " nature unadorned is most beaa- tiful." Leather Collars. A novelty sold by the swell London ladies' tailors will soon appear on this side. These are leather collars and cuffs, which come in varying shades of brown, green, red, and also in black, and which are orna- mented with fancy stitching. The cuffs are about three inches deep. As accom- paniments to these are arabeec^ue designs in leather for dreaaes, while traveling dresses are trimmed around the edge of the skirt with broad strips of blaok, gray and brown leather.â€" iJcwton Beaeon.

Concealment is the emphasis of beauty, and so if you have pretty teeth cultivate a quick, short smile : dreaa year perfeot arm in net, gauze, jet or lace sleeves ; scoru a oollar if your throat is the oolumn of sinu- ous grace, but adopt a fragile ruohing ; if you have been told that your eyes »^^ brilliant use the mystio shelter of a broad- brimmed hat or a fine transparent veil for their co<ioetry, and never show the oharm that can bs suggested.

Tha Serene CoBtentatant of an Old Ac* Frea From Knvy and SelfUhnMs. The old are notorioualy strong in matters of judgment, even though their knees may be weak, says All the Year Bound. What so pleasurable as to sit in the seat of the censor ? Is a man ever too old for the bench ? The longevity and the haleness of our more considerable lawyers are con- vincing testimony to the advaniageoasness of their position. But every old man stands towards the oommunity at large like a jadg-a towarda his criminals. Each year broadens his horizon, extends his pleaaure and his pastime. Methuselah was a man immensely to be envied. What varied lore, what an endless series of graduated pictures be mast have stored witbia faim as the centuries passed and left him high and dry amonij hia pigmy fellow men ! Nothing is easier, it may be said, than to cast together the evils which commonly wait apon old age and thereby to prove that it ia absurd ta suppose that happiness can exist in the midst of them. Of course nothing is easier than to oatalogus these possible afSicIi ns ; but, on the other hand, I contend with my betters, that happiness, contentment, or what you please to call the " summam bonam " we strive for, is quite independent of most of these afiliclions. The prudent person, when old, expects to be tried in this way. He ia prepared, and that is half the battle. Nor must it be forgotten that even aa bis energies have waned with his increase of yeara so also hia body baa changed into a condition well suited to bear physical trials which in his youth would have been in- sufferable. As a stripling be grumbled without ceasing when a toothache or a sprained ankle kept him within doors ; as an octogenarian the chair to which be ia confiusd for a good many boors of the day is to him by far the most oomlort- able place in all the world ; nor would he exchange it for the Pope's throne, if the throne were only to be won by a journey to Rome. But to return to the moral aspect of the matter. Is it not a fact that a good man's goodness increases as be grows olaer ? There is nothing in the world more vener- able and lovable than a good old man or womtn. Surely that is much, for are not respect and affection just the two things for which we fight hardest during the fight- ing part of our career? And they may be • cquired by the aged without effort. " It is only older people, after all, who are quite unselfish, and feel the greatest pleasure in witnessing the happiness of others." Mies Xhackery was right when she wrote this. It conatitutes the keeneat joy of reverend old age ; a joy to which the wild intoxicanta, which in youth we call pleaaurea, are aa nothing at all. It ia almoat impoeaible, made aa we are, for the young to bia disinterestedly happy in the happineaa of others. Envy and jesloaay are ever on the alert to mar each a divine Scssibility. But the old are doubly glad- ened by the visible joy of others. They are generous enough to rejoice because others are profited. Andâ€" this ia not cynicism â€" they oinn find cause to con- gratulate themselves that their own snug tranciuility ij not in peril ot being disturbed by the like boisteroas agents ot felicity. It is for their peace and resignation that I most admire the old. They have attained Nirvana. The world's game, ooofeasedly not an amazing one, is known to thtm. They are on the heights of Pisgab, wbereaa we are warring en the plain, ir groaning in the valley about the tedium of our days. KlasM b7 Mail. United States ilail : A young postmaster ot a village post- office was hard at work when a gentle tap was heard upon the door, and in stepped a bashfal mtiden of '6 with a money order which she desired cashed. She handed it to the official with a bashful smile who, after closely examining it, handed her the money it called for. At the same time he asked her if she bad read what was written on the margin of the order. " No, I have not, ' she replied, " for I can not make it out. Will you please read it f or me .' " The young postmaster read aa follows: " I send you 93 and a dozen kisses" Glancing at the basliful girl, he said : " Now, I have paid yoa the money, and I suppose you want the kisses." " Yes," she said, " if he has sent me any kisses I want them, too." It is hardly neo«seary to say that the balance of the order was promptly paid, and in scientific manner at that, and eminently satisfactory to the country maiden, for she went out of the office smacking ber lips as if there was a taste apon them she never encountered before. After she arrived home she remarked to her mother: "Eh, mother, but this post- office system ot ours is a great thing, de- veloping more and more every year, and each new feature added seems to be the best. Jimmie sent me a dozen kisses along with the money order, and the postmaster gave me twenty. It beats the special de- livery system all hollow." A Machine fur Wrapping Orangrx. The Remington Arms Company is maun- faoturiug for Humphrey Williams, of York- ville, Oneida county, a large number of machioea for packing or wrapping orangea in papers for shipping. The machines are simple and comparatively inexpensive ; but one wUl do the work of three persons at least. They will wrap nicely in papers 2,500 oranges per hour. The machine is about three feet long by three high and 18 inches wide, not including the cylinder for feeding or the endless chain carrier, which is about seven feet long, and operates like a straw carrier in a threshing machine, and carriea the fruit after the wrapping opera- tion to bins or boxes. The machine is operated by a crank. The fruit passes from the cylinder down a slide, one at a time, into a wire oup, which opens and drops the orange ou a square paper cut by the machine from a roller ; then passes throngh an aperture which wraps the paper and trims it ; then the f rait passes on to the carrier. The operation ia both simple and rapid. â€" Utiea Herald. TRAIN WBKCKKIt8' WUBK. Human VtMida Wr««k • Tnln and KUI Thraa Men.
