"High up 0:1 the lonely mountains;'' I the ram came down in streams, as if t sky were a great sieve, ami not a ray light, found its way through the bla? clouds. The giaut fir trees bent ai swayed in the tierce wind, and sent tin wild, wailing voices down through gul and canon to mingle with the roar creek and cataract, or fell before t rocks that crashed down the mounta sides. The terrified cattle lowed ai cried in their corrals, huddling togeth for warmth and sympathy. Indoc people drew near together, crowdi: around the hearth-lires tliat blazed a fitful, almost uncanny way. In a wayside inn, on the mounta road, a little company sat thus gather about an immense fireplace that glow and flamed like a bonfire, and not cc tent with cheering the groat room, se its beacon-light out at the windows defy the night and the storm. There was Mike M alone, the landloi and Kitty, his fat, fnnnv wife; litl Maria, the Spanish girl whom Mike ai Kitty had rared;" .Take, the stab! man, and last, because most lmporta: "Bat,", the French Canadian woo cutter.

II(, " Aiul Satan came also," thought tho ! doctor, observing the look. Maria, too, turned in time to sec the expression. It was just as Miko was tolling them to look out for the bridge over Eraser's creek. Then the door closed, and while the wind aud the rain beat furiously against it, and Mike and Kitty speculated anxiously upon the chances of their safe arrival at Fraser's, Maria studied Jake's face as he gazed intently in the lire, where, from a pineknot, the lnried jets of flame darted out and leaped wildly up in the black vault, as if eager to join their kindred spirits in the storm. ; Suddenly Jake arose, and, muttering something in the way of a good-night, slouched out of the room.

Up through the green canons floated the mists of t'.e r. morning Tinged with rosy light, they a sailed away through the blue ether. Up d rose the sun, shining grandly on the mountains, and through those floods of a gold came the doctor, and Bat caroling ?r his gay song, proud as a troubadour i- home from the war goiug to kneel at his n lady's feet. rs " By gollv, we're save dat baby," he 1- cried, springing through the open door, ie "And how is Jake?

The manufacture of thread from wood for crochet and sewing purposes, hae, it is said, recently been started in the middle of Sweden. It is wound in balls by machineiy, either by hand or steam, which, with the labeling, takes one minute and twelve seconds, and the balls are packed up in cardboard boxes, generally ten in a box.

Tlio production gives fair promise of success, and it is expected to be very important for home consumption.
