Wonders: or the N~or. , b iliant writer in the Victoria 1es says: There are a few very curious things aboutBritish Columbiarivers. Every bodyknows that they flow in the wrong direction while they are young. For instance, the Peace and Liard persist a gto the Arcticocean, in defiance of th Jocky mountains and the laws of nature, while the Columbia, Fraser and Kootenay only consent to travel seaward after going in the opposite di rection some hundreds of miles. But thyalso have very peculiar ways of making ice, quite opposite to that laid down in the text books. Inthe Skeena I have-observed the ice in autumn to form on the river bed among the bowl dera in globules,- like a mass of fish spawn. this often growing until the reef actually reaches the surface, but more often it breaks away in large pieces and doats off down stream, bearing pebbles and even bowlders for many miles. There are many notural bridges on our rivers also. In the Kicking Horse, three miles below Field station, there is:a rock bridge in a slate formation which is inclined so as to present sharp edges-very unpleasant to walk upon. Every observant passenger on the Ca nadian-Pacific railroad has noticed the snow bridge on the Illecillewaet, but there are records of ice bridges also. I think Ihave heard of one on the Homathoo river, but of the Stickeen a marvellous story is told. " There is a -" great glrcier descending out of the high snowfield to.the north, and this in ancient times flowed right across the valley,meeting a lesser ice stream from the heights opposite. The Stickeen flowed under the ice in a tunnel, and at very low water the passage was too smallfor it, although the water must have been banked up into a lake at the spring freshet. A ssATREBED TRADITION. =Now, the Sicane Indians of the up per valley used to regard this tunnel in the ice as leading to the "sweet by and by." 'They. were therefore very anx ious to avoid the place. But once the tribe was encamped not far above the glcier, and there was a very old man and his wife with them who were- too mean to die because of the expense of giving a funeral feast. They were very rich and of no use, and had large ap petites,'and their relatives at last con sented to part with them. They were therefore set adrift in aleaky canoe and consigned to the current, and all the ple, conscious of self sacrifice,stood n the bank and watched the canoe van in the tunnel, and felt good. Now, the old people were very frightened hnd squealed a good deal, but when the blue shadows of the ice closed over them. they thought they were dead In diana, and behaved accordingly. Pres ently the old lady thought it was get t!g light, and became curious and looked about her. Then she kicked the.old'man and asked if he didn't wish they were at the funeral feast. Re looked up and found the canoe out in the open again, the glacier behind them, and the *orld pretty much as usual. They got ashore, cut paddles and poles, and prepared to go home again. The old man began to be hungry for the grease boxes; the old-lady set her heart on grease and berries, and they both ~Adetermined to get home for the banquet, -since they had assisted at the funeral. - Well,bydintofmakingthe old lady work whilehe steered and gave good advice, they succeeded in making their way up truhthe tunnel and home, and were in apetime for' the feast. fL facd they lie-happily ever afteri*ard. But -. bw '.aflWA AT~dlA i'ththe relatives, trona had -been shattered about the sweet by and by. Not least among the natural wonders of the coast is McKenzie passage, a lit - tle to the westward of Kingcome inlet. ts a chasm about six miles in leDgth, * ~ leading to the base of an isolated and broken peak, 5.6V>5 feet high. The walls are very close together, .vertical and snow crowned. The sun never shines m this arful gorge; the vapor * ~ from its waters hangs dark and bitter cold, unnsoved by the wind, and no liv ing beiing enters its sohitude. I find but two recorde of this place having been visited by white men. Scarcely less wonderful is an inlet tributary to - Dean's canal. Some of the tide sluices are very dan gerous, and many lives ha,ve been lost - .amtJrem. A great puzzle they were to early travelers, who found cataracts of sawater pouring into many of the in lets. They are explained by the exist ence behind them of large basins filled by the flood tide, the outlets being too smali for itaready escape at the ebb. Some of these sait water cataracts are as much as twelve feet high. There is a miniature example at the gorge, near * this city. *On the Yukon river the upper waters are rendered quite clear by the deposit of all theirsadt in achain of lakes, buf S lower down a stream called White river enters from the south, so charged with glacier mud that the Yukon from thence to the sea is too dirty for even the bot tom of a cupful to be distinguished. Graylings rise readily to the fly above no fishing without nets is possible be low. Moreover, where the great river crosses the Arctic circle the tributaries from the tundra lands are like rivers of tea, so deep is the stain of vegetable matter from thie moss swamps of the far south. The Berlin locksmiths have petition ed the prince to accept the honorary membership of their guild and he has granted their request. The diploms contains the following passage: "Youn highness has proven yourself the mos1 expert and artistic locksmith in Ger. many,by having opened the long-lockei Castl e of the Kyffhaeuser with the self made key, which you placed in the hands of the late Emperor William L a key which the German emperors o: the House of Hohenzollern will forevei cherish and preserve."

Not. only among the rugged hills and moun-0 tains of the East and West where streams go rushing down through caverns and' rocky steeps, where no locations for mills or factories are 1 afforded, is this means of transmission of precious power appreciated, but it is so convenient to use that we find on the prairies of the West mills being oper- b ated at a Jong distance from water powers by the wire rope. A few days ago, on a trip through Nebraska, we ntticed a rope stretching for nearly a mile from a water power to a mill that ti had recently been built adjoining a railroad, the owners fnding it much more to their advantage to have it there, with the switching privileges I afforded, than at the dam. The ex pense of hauling the flour which is thus saved to them will very soon pay for the system of power transmission. Dr. Ilenry J. Buck, writing to the I Lancet, says: "I have used this drug b for mare than twenty years-I may of say almost daily-and many of my tl patients will not travel without a bottle g of the 'magic lotion,' as they call it. I find the simplest and most efficacious g, way of applying it is to soak a large t, handful of the crushed pods in half a o pint of hot water for an hour, then d; strain, and bottle for use. A teaspoon- g ful of eau-de-cologne added will help c; to keep the solution, or it can be well f, boiled after preparing, I then have it n applied to the affected parts on a piece u )f linen folded three or four times, or e on a lint, and covered with gutti per- I cha tissue or dry flannel. In this way a the lotion may be kept on for hours b without vesicating, and in many cases t the skin is hardly reddened. The h stinging and burning sensation produced b by the capsium lotion is, after a few I minutes. welcomed by the sufferer, so magically does It often remove the rhen- 51 matic or neuralgic pain for which it is sl being applied. In acute torticollis a h cure is often speedily obtained by cov- b ering the side affected with the applica- o tion. In any form of neuralgia, rhen- h matism, subacute gout, pleurodynia, and such like, it will be found most useful, and may be reapplied over and and over again during the day and night without any fear of vesication." p M. 1V. Tarren fnds, that when the metal magnesium is heated in a current b of ammonia thoroughly dry, and a keeping the temperature below a red k heat, it combines with the gas without changing much in appearance, though its chemical properties are much modi- e lied; for instance, it will not melt below t a bright red heat, and burns, when red hot. with violent decrepitations or smill explosions. If the current of ammonia is continued, and the metal in this form heated to bright redness, it is a gradually converted into an orange yel- P low substance which is permanent. 9 This new product dissolves in acids, f and the solution contains ammonia. When fragments of magnesium which have been kept at a dull red heat for some time come In contact with gaseous ammonia, it often happens that their V surface becomes dark yellow and shines E like gold. The exact nature of this golden magnesium has not yet been made out, - faftinag pin appears to be a very e simple thing and of trifling importance,~ but it is not so inconsequential after I all, when the number used annually is a taken into consideration, and the Y amount of hardwood timber consumed I in their production is understood. The i Tittabawassee and other boom comrn panies in Michigan use millions of these I little and simple devices, one pln being C required to every log "id out" by ~ them; and the firms producing them ~ use up whole "'train loads" of logs in a their manufacture. They are simply a C wedgeshaped piece of wood with suli- ~ cient of the center or the wedge re- e moved to admit the insertion of a small sized rope, so that wnen they are driven into the center of each log they I cover the rope and hold it firm. When z the logs thus fastened In strings reach c their destination, a slight blow breaks f the pin, loosens the rope, and permits t the logs to be handled separately. It g will thus be perceived that millions of t these little devices are made and de- i sroyed3 annually. -A writer In a London journal calls attention to the unappreciated uses and preservative qualities of soap-store, a 3 material, he says, which possesses what i may be regarded as extraordinary qual- I ities in withstanding atmospheric influ ences, those, especially, which have so a' much to do with the corrosion of iron 1 and steel; and from experiments made, I it is said that no other material is capa- ( ble of taking hold of the fiber of iron I and steel so readily and firmly as th,s. I In China, soapstone is largely used in preserving structures built of sana stone and other stones liable to crum- t ble from the effect of the atmosphere; a and the covering with powdered soap stone in the form of paint, on some of c the obelisks In that country, composed i of stone liable to atmospheric deterlor- t ation, has been the means of preserv- c ing them intact for hundreds of years. j Electrfiec Waz.-Some curious elec- t trical phetaomena were lately observed (according to a writer in the Chemische Zeitung) in a stearin and ceresln manu factory in Italy. One evening four vats I of white ceresin -(which is a paraffngE got from ozoKerit), containing about 500jl kg. each, were being stirred to cool. 1 When the point of solidification was I nearly reathed, the electric light of the place accidentally went out; and, tothe< surprise and alarm of the rather igno- 'i rant workmen, the mass of ceresin was I observed to give pale sparks. AL beet sugar manufactory, with a capacity of 400 tons a day, is said to bel almost completed at Grand Island, Neb. The beet has sixteen per cent of sugar, and farmers realize $60 per acre at $4 per ton for the root. The diffu-I sion process of extracting the saccha-I rie principle is used. In a fourteen I battery circuit it is claimed that the I remarkable result of 99-8 per cent of the sugar can be extracted. VEGETABLE Soup. - Wash thor.' oughly a lettuce, with two or three handfuls of sorrel, cabbage or spinach, then shred into small pieces, and put over the fire, with two ounces of butter, for at least ten minutes, turning over I the vegetables with a fork the while. oftstkand boil upat the last.

PAKM NOTM TE PROPER CARE OF A COLT.-We 1 start with the suckling at the day its birth, and presume that it is of od parentage, both sire and dam,that is sound and able to stand and walk ithin fifteen minutesafter it breathes. t the age of a week most farmers ome to work the dam and let the suck 2g follow around as best he can, and the the age of four months, the colt ,ng then of sufficient age to wean,the im has performed a good summer's ork, worked just as hard as her geld g mate with no colt. This method entirely wro.g. The heated blo,d, resome labor of both mare and colt is ally killing both. The mare and colt during the first ur, five or six months should be kept good pasture where there is plenty of )d water and shade. While it may practicable to wean the colt at four ontbs, we certainly prefer six, and w comes the most important period the entire five years of the colt'd owth, and if starved or stunted the .st winter it never fully recovers. Not ily the size, but the whole frame of ie animal is injured, never to be re eined. The colt should be fed on plenty of od, cean hay, plenty of water at all mes, and we would give half and halt ground oats and wheat bran twice a ty, about two quarts at a mess. We ve this dry, but if scalded and then oled it will be better. A well-to-do rmer told. me once this would be too uch; I think he was right for the first eek or two. but certainly not for the >ld winter days, nor the spring_eltber. asked him what damage it would do; is answer was too rapid a growth. He td previously told me that he would eat a colt as he would a boy. I asked im if be ever knew too big a growth of >y, but to th:s there was no answer. he colt should have a warm place to rotect himself from cold weather and orms, a bed of dry straw or dust to eep upon, or to lie down at pleasure; 3 must not be confined to the stable, it have a yard; or, better still, an ien field to run in; in no case should a be allowed to stand on a hard floor. SMUT IN WHEAT.-Smut in wheal as once a great cause of loss and com aint, and it was found that the smut icreased when smutty seed was used found by making a strong brine witt ue vitriol dissolved in it, putting it it tub large enough to hold a tight bas et in which the seed wheat was placed -the wheat stirred and skimmed, en< ien raised out of the brine and allow i to drain, when it was poured-eat-bi at in bags and so remained twelve tc wenty-four hours, and then sown it e usual manner. I never found thii fail as a remedy in wheat. The trong brine was useful to float out lighl ad probably diseased giains,and also tc erfectly introduce the vitriol to all the rains of wheat. Two years ago,think g of this, I poured my corn on the oor and poured among it a solution o1 ue vitriol and gave it a good stirring ut it will be seen that that way o1 nplymg the vitriol did not surel. each every grain. The result wai iuch less smut than in former years. THE "GENERAL PURPOsE COW." his5 long-mooted question Is still re siving attention. One ,writer-wh< vidently favors the Holsteins-says 11 awll known fact that if you wani ,breed trotters you must employ sire id dams with trotting pedigrees. It on want good cows for milk,you mus1 reed from animals havinga goodiil edigree, and the same is true in regat4 butter and beef. Now, if we car reed a good butter cow, a good mill w, and a cow that wllmake goo< er, why can we not, by combining bese elements, get a cow that would be genefal purxose cow? T he Holsteli >mbines beef, butter and milk mor trongly than can be found in any oth breed of cattle now extant. The following is given as an excel nit mixture of seed per acre for ieadow: 12 pounds of timothy,5 pound fItalian rye grass,5 pounds of meadoi scue or tall fescue, 4 pounds of re< >3 pounds of rough-stalked meadoi rass, 6 pounds or medium clover. I e meadow is moist, bromnus or a1siki ay be introduced, the red top increas d and the fescue and the clover les m ned. _ _ _ In the catalogue of the American rc sological Society votes from the11llffer nt States were given as follows for var us popular apples: Forty votes fo Led AstrachrD, 38 for Early Harvesi 3 for Maiden's Blush, 30 for Olden~ urg. 27 for Northern Spy, Fomeuse len Davis and Caroline Jane, 29 fo ~ravenstein, 30 for Fall rippin, and 2 r Baldwin, Jonathan and Roxbur Lusset.

There is a thng-ot which 1 want to speak, that is, of the behavior of:girls towards young men who are not lovers but simply friends. Let me tell you plainly that our sex were not meant to be wooers. The custom, prevalent among a certain class of young ladies of asking directly or indirectly the atten tions of young gentlemen is not com mendable.. "My son," said a lady to me not lo g since, "is much prejudiced against ay.ang girl whom I adore, be cause she is constantly sending him notes inviting him to be her escort here and there and planning to have him with her." A modest and digni fled reserve, which is neither prudery nor affectation, should distingaish your demeanor to gentlemen. Too great fa miliarity, and too evident pleasure in the society of young men are errors in to which no delicate and pure-minded girl should fall.-&lected.
