Whilst the faahionablea of our cities crowd one gaiety on another through the winter season, dwellers in remote and quiet conn- tries have to make amosemeot for them- selveSL of equally pleasant if leas exciting kind and the winter is also our " •"«-"" ' e, at the i in the liahamas. On pleasure bent, we â€" that is, three ladies, two children and nurse â€" proposed to ourselves a trip to Harbour Island, one of the nearest and prettiest ot thfe " out islands" such leing the lofty way in which New Providence talks of its neighlKjrrf, although, as a rule, larger and more fertile than iiwolf. But then Nassau is our nietropoli;*. The aea waa our high- way, a scltKHiL-r our train. We think no more of stepping on Ixiinl a ship than do our 'iuiadiaii Hi.ster.i of getting upon a ' P.

It was almost too cold and damf to enjoy the coca-nut water with which our guide supplied us, robbing our host with his own tools, for we bad brought down his machete (bosh-knife) from our shelter. A cocoa-nut grove dripping with rain is not so captivating as the same grove on a hot sunny day, the long leaves swaying with every breath of wind, and a soft sub- dued green hght, making it look like the fairy tales of childhood. To sit in the cocoa nut groves oa a follen trunk or on the soft dry grass is enjoyment indeed. Thio is only one of many pleasant walks which this small but pretty island affords.

A kne tune ago, whan dem«, wildforertB stood wEere we now find Uay «««•, theie, UTed,a.a.tew»rd, in m old, dil^ated hnntini! CMtle, an old man with hnw^ano «on, Uttle Fridolin. The tather of the Comt to whom the caatle belonged had been Twy fond of the chaae, and every antnmn he -pent several weeks honting deer and other „ Ud game but the present Coont did not enjoy such sport, and left the castle witirely to the care of the steward and an old hun- The thooeht of this isUnd was seldom ab- sent from Fridolin's mind, and he spent many hours on the shore of the lake, vamly hoping togain a view of this image of beauty. When not on the shore, Fndolin coold almost always be found on the balcony of the tower, where he had a wide view of both the forest and the water. As he sat here one warm July day, allowing his raze to wander over the Uke, he saw in the dis- tance what, at first sight, seemed to be a fisher's boat but as the object came nearer, it glittered and shone as if made of gold and jewels. Fridolin hastily left the tower and ran to the shore, and having imtied his boat was soon rowing with all speed toward the tiny craft, which rocked so gently in the waves, =Jid was constantly coming nearer. But no one was to he seen in the strange boat, and when but a few steps away Frid- -ilin rose to his feet to gain a better view, he saw lying fast asleep in a boat made of mother-of-pearr and borderoil withcoetly gems, a little girl v/ith long, golden hair and wearing a rich dress adorned Avith the finest embroidery. As the boy gazed wonderingly and breathlcsslyatthelittlesleepershe awoke and started np in a frightened manner. She looked at the liow of the lx)at as if in search of something. Then she held her hands implor- ingly to Fri.loliu as if begging his protec- tion. But to all the eager (|uestionsof the boy the only replies he received were sighs and tears. Fridolin knew tliat the little stranger was in great trouble and he wanted much to help her. IJiiL he discovered that his lan- guage was new to her; for when he asked her name ami how he might aid her she shook her hcail sadly as if to say " I can- not understand you but I know that you are kind and will help me." Fridolin then led the little fairy, as he called her, to his parenU who were grmtly astonished, and took every care of the little stranger. The old hunter, who was present said: ".She is from the Floating Island, and has been carried by the waves to our shore." Fri.loUn was delighted with his new com- panion, and in every way tried to banish the look of sorrow, which was seldom absent from her fair face. He showed her where the sweetest strawberries grew, gathered for her the choicest flowers, and spent many hours with her rowing about in his little boat. Although Fairy, as everyone now called her, ceased weeping and seemed grate, ful for the kindness of her friends, yet she never spoke, except in a strange tongue, and seemed always to have a great grief. She was not contented when on the shore with Fridolin, or up in thecastle tower overlook, ing the water. One day, when the two children had climbed the dark, narrow stairs .and were standing on the ivy -covered bal. â- jony they heard a loud clapping sound, and i^aw, flying near them, a large black stork, which seemed anxious to attract their atten- t ion. The litt'e girl clapped her hands for joy and, stretched her arms toward the birtl, which ilew nearer and hovered about as if awaiting some commands. Fairy tKk .a tine gold chain from her neck and held it to the stork, which took it in its bill, and, hav. ing watched attentively the strange signs which the little girl made, it flew away across the lake. Frid.)lin looked on in wonder, and was delighted to see the change in his com pan ion's face. There was no longer any trace of sorrow to lie seen, hrr large blue eyes lieamed with hope, aiul a bright smile played over her iH^autiful face. In the nif.antime a great st.trm arose, the wind blew furiously, and the waves rolled higher anil higher, while the rain fell in torrents. " We must go .low..," said Frid.din, " we shall be dreiiche.l, and then mother will scold." r.ut Fairy paid no heed to his entreaties, and r.-maini-d .standing with her, ga/.e Itxed on the water. Sud.h'nly through the stonii and T-iiii. a white tlouil was seen, whicti |ir.i\ I'd lull., a silver veil carried hy th. sl..ik.

Next he must Team how to stand. This is one of the moei-im] art. It brace myself with my feet about twenty inches apart. I stand as I would if I cx- pecteda man was going to mn into me and try and throw me to the ground. I do not face the target, but stand so that my left side is nearest to the bull's eye.

There are two of ihem published in San Francisco. One of tliem is called the W'a-Kee, the other theTon-Fon-Son-Bo. But if you think they areprinteil with type and big roller presses, you are decidedly mistaken. Such a process would Ie made- too quick and American for Jtdiii Chinamen. Tee Jen, the editor of Wa-Kec, works from daylight till long after dark paint ing the fiuiny Chinese characters on sheets of thin paper about the size ot foolscap. These are given to a lithographer, who transfers them to stone by means of acitls, etc., and when four of them have been thus prepared, they are put into a- queer witotlen press that works with a screw, .something like a letter-press, and runs en- tirely by man power, something like the tirst printing presses invented, and use*! in Kurope hnir hundred years ago. The name of the paper appears on the last page, and the readers start from that and read toward the front. Neither of the papers are either agricultural, political, or religious, hut each has a Letter and Answer department, and the rest of the .space is given up to news. tlohn Chinaman is so economical that he had a great deal rather borrow his neighbor's paper than su1scribc for one of his own, and for this reason the circulation of the Chinese newspapers isn't very large. One of them prints 7r0 copies, which it takes the |H-inter three days to print. Many of the great city tlaily papers print a hundred thousand and more in an hour. This ia the way we Iteat Chinamen i» everything, and still they think their way is the best. Measureqients taken in the crypt of West- minster Abbey show that there still remain unoccupieil resting places for at least 90 distinguished persons. IVobably the next to go beneath the honored slabe will be Alfred Tennyson. The poet laureate is sure of that distinction, imless by his own wish, he chooses to be buried elsewhere.

In some galleries the beginners are taught to support the barrel with the thumb and forefinger. This is very nice for indoor work, but whena manisintheopenair and faces a stiff wind he will find that he needs more support than that. Never prac- tice in the gallery what yon do not intend to follow out of doorsi That is a rule that you will do well to cut out and paste in your hat. After yon have taken aim, pull the trig- ger. Don't give it a jerk. Don't think that you have a twenty ponhd weight to move and put all your muscleinto the move- ment. Make a steady, continuous pres- sure, no "harder at the beginning than at the end. After a while you will find that you can throw your rifle directly in range with- out a conscious effort and can shoot for hours together without getting tired. When you have reached this point shooting becomes a pleasure. *• Nowastothe way to shoot. You go into a shooting gallery anl you can tell at a glance who among the men who are there are experienced shots. You will see a man pick his gun np carelessly and load it and cock it and point it at some other man, to try the sight and show his own idiocy. You mLiy put it down as a fact that that man doesn't know the first thing about shooting. An old shot is caeful. He knows that it is the ' unloaded' gun that always kills some one. He never points an empty rifle even at a nian. The muzzle of his gun never points at any one. He never loads until he faces the target. He never aims his gun at anything but the bull's-eye. "At the beginnmg don't try to do too much. You will only tire yourself out and lose your nerve. Besides that, lo jking at the target over the sights will injure your eyes if you try todo more work than you are able to get through with c(»mfortably. I would not advise a man to shoot over live scores (fifty shots) two or more times a week. That is enough for the onlinary man. " In early practice a riile, of '22 adihcr is heavy enough, fjitcr on a man can lake up the .:W Itallard or Wiuehestvr. AstosighI^' the peep and globe is tin- easiest for Jong range, say 'J«)l) yards. Willi tliat si-hl the marksman has only the bull's (-^e anl the pin head in the glole to watch. After shooting, tlie ritle should be care- fully cleaned, first with a wet piece of c.tii- ton fiannel, then with ad:y pie,c until it comes out as clean as w tien it wfii' into the Ixmel.

Daring the last ten years the lecturer had made comprehensive ex- periments upon rabbits, with the electnc spark of a huge Leyden jar, and had thrown a new Uffht upon the question. The action of lightning upon the biain, the spinal col- umn and the peripheric nerves is shown by the Ion of consciousness, the disturbance of the intellect and the extended phe nomena of lameness, the latter of whiqh have a tendency to disappear. On the other hand, there are intense nervous phenoinena, which strongly lesemble those produced by railway accidents and other concussions, and which dominate the patient for a long time. Disturbances of sightand speech often occur, and may remain for life or may in part dis- appear.

The Lady and the Kysterious FarceL On .Saturday afternoon a young St. Helens lady paid a visit to Liverpool, in company with a male friend, and after visiting one of the ilrape'ry establishments for which the city is so famous, she returned to Lime Street St|htion and deposited in the cloak-room a small brown paper parcel, which contained several yards of cretonne. The couple then went to ' look round " the city, and on reaching Lime Street in time to catch the 10.50 train to St. Helens, Mr took the ticket, and presenting it at the cloak- room window received what he then believed to be the parcel deposited by the young lady earlier in the day. The parcel was placed in the carriage, and duly carried to the home of the young lady in Doke Street, St. Helens. When she came to look at the exterior of the parcel she became apprehen- sive that there was something wrobct, and on taking the brown paper partially off she Ci^me upon an old Liverpool news- paper, dated 1883. This being removed, a dirty cotton pocket handkerchief was ex- poseil to view. Too disgusted to proceed further she dropped the parcel on the floor, and, rumour says, gave it a hearty kick, and sent it flying into a comer. A little later the parcel was again looked at, and a coloured union shirt, like those worn 1^ sailors, ^became the next object of obaerva- lion, and no little addititmal disgnst. TioBf however, soon gave way to surprise, for in the centre she found three small leather bags, two of which contained 20 soreragns cMh and the other cmtained lOsoTereigns. -With commendable promptitnde the yoong lady informed C^ii^-CointaUe Wood, and that gentleman at once placed .himedf in con- munication with the Lime Street Statioa officials.

Thus, a flash which entered a school-room injured only the first and last child on the form, those between escaping un- hurt. Prof. Nothnagel pointed out that in the treatment of lameness and other con- stitutional p3rturbation3 due to lightning, metallotherapy ismost efficicnt,alarge horse- shoe magnet being applied alternately to the head, trunk and the limbs. This process led to better results than the electric treatment recently adopted. In case of a quite recent stroke, the clothing should be unfastened, the patieutlaid v.'iththeheadhigh, quietuessand fresh air should be secured, and, if conscious- ness loe8 not return, the head should lie ex- posed to a stream of cold water. .. te BitMoei, wka kiA* kw»]r iB w MibrwUk mm -Jrt^ ^^t,^ PT. niuui'i nwMt '"-*- â€" 'H^* thniM S BElilitt»d«±ei,KKoii«i!-nd Om- ililiation.

"No my friend," replied one of them. "We thought it best not to offer premifems for twins. Here is the premium list. You can see for yourself."
