HORSESHOEING.

H4 VING seeured the services of MR. WIL- LIAM TUCKER, a native of this Island, who has had nine years’ experience as a Horse- shoer in the United States, I am prepared to supply a loug-felt waut in this line. Mr. Tucker has reduced horseshoeing to a science, and is prepared to perform all classes of work in a common-sense and scientific manner. Tneed not inform the intelligent horseowner that the gait of the horse and condition of the feet must be understood to weight a horse properly and to successfully operate thereon. Numerous patrons already admit the merits of the work pertormed, and recommend his system of shoeing. Customers. can always depend on prompt attention and entire satisfaction. W. J. FRASER.

This section of the country is seldom re- presented in your columns, so you may find room for a few lines at this time.

Mr. J. McKay got up a shooting match on New Year’s Day, but the heavy rain in the afternoon put a stop to the shooting.

The Strait is quite clear of ice from Little Sands to Cape George, and our winter boats need have no trouble in crossing yet.

Eel fishing is a new industry that is pur- sued with vigor by every one who can handle an eel-spear, The eels are frozen and shipped to Boston. For some days the ice on Murray Xiver presented a lively appearance, and such a squirming, wriggling tangle of eels as never was seen. There is money in eels.

Fishing seems an out of place sport at this season. but two days before Christmas Capt. McRae and two others landed quite a lot of very nice herring caught along shore. Cod- fisuing, too, had been very good as long as any were bold enough to venture out. The oldest inhabitant has no recollection of these fish being taken on this shore so late in the Season.

The High Bank boys are emulous of excell- ing as marksmen, stimulated thereto by the exertions of a young gentleman recently re- turned from California, bringing with him all a Westerner’s love of hunting. He is a regular Nimrod, and through his example many of our gentlemen of leisure are becoming very expert in bagging what small game our woods and swamps contain.

According to reports, this County does the principal part of the liquor drinking for the island. adoption of the Scott Act in this County, n« liquor could be had south of Montague, and Murray River kept the banner of temperance waving when temperance societies had almost died through the Isiand. Murray River has now the unenviable reputation of possessing the only groggery south of Montague. This ‘* shebang” was started this fall by an enter- prising couple from Summerside, but it is not doing much business, as temperance principles are too strong in these parts.

Many of the young men who were away in the States returned this fall.

Reforms We Also Need.

CHILDREN MAKE MEN AND WOMEN.

UNHEALTHY UNHEALTHY

Lord Brabazon draws attention to the fact that unless some speedy change is made in the social condition of some of our women and children the nation must inevi- tably deteriorate in the next generation. The utter absence im many large towns of adequate playgrounds is a serious evil, as it is impossible for children to develop into healthy men and women without. sufticient air and exercise. A public playground has been opened in Horsemonger lane, and some also in Manchester and Salford. It has been found by the Metropolitan Gar- den Association that a playground can _ be daily provided for 3,000 children at a cost of £100 a year. Horsemonger lane play- ground contains a gymnasium, swings, run- ning ground, giant stride, five court and many other adyantages. Af- ter 6.30 p. m. the young men of the neighborhood are allowed to enter the boys’ enclosure, and the young women that of the girls. There can be no question of the inestimable boon thus conferred on thousands of our poorer fellow-creatures, aud the advantage to the national welfare will be great in its influence on the health of the people. Many efforts have been made of late years to shorten the hours of labor for various classes, but there still re- mains a cass for whom legislation is neces- sary. Lord Brabazon states that girls in shops and refreshment rooms are kept standing for an unpardonable length of time. In places of public refreshment, girls work alternate days fifteen and eighteen hours, with but very short intervals for food. Many of the shop-girls also work for fourteen hours. The effects of these long hours are most injurious in every way. That it is physically injurious it seems scarcely necessary to remark, and it appears also to be so morally. Many re- turn home broken in heaJth, and there are numberless sad tales of insanity, pythisis, bronchial affections, chronic dyspepsia and other maladies. 1t must be said that many of the shop keepers would willingly abridge the hours could it be made incumbent on all shops to close earlier.— London Lancet.

A = ge Goethe’s House.

Goethe’s house at Weimar, says the Pail Mali Gazette, is at last open to the public. It will be as great an attraction to English visitors as Abbotsford once was to Ameri- cans. In the five-and-fifty years that have elapsed since the death of the author of ‘** Faust,” very little has been changed ; and the furniture and arrangement of the principal apartments remain unaltered. The drawing-room, called by Goethe ‘* Aldcbrandini Room,” still contains the coyy of a large mural painting in the Pa- lazzo Aldobrandini at Rome, from which it took its name. The housé is furnished with great simplicity ; but the rooms and

cameos and jewels which the poet collected. Upon the ground floor are two adjoining rooms looking out upon the garden. One of these is Goethe’s study ; the other is his bedroom, containing little furniture beyond a bed andan arm chair bearing upon its back a laurel wreath. It was in this arm chair that Goethe died at noon of the 22nd of March, 1832.

They were met at the prison doors by a great crowd of people errrying banners, and accompanied by bands of music. A processiov was formed, and the two women were placed upon a car

New York’s Brities and Grooms. 12,216 PAIRS OF THEM IN NEW YORK ONE BRIDE OWNS Ur TO 70 YEARS

ONLY

In 1886, 12,216 marriages were registered in New York city, against 11,716 in 1885. Two grooms and six brides were born at sea ; 7,425 grooms and only 6,660 brides were foreign born. The American girls got the odd 765 foreign husbands. Of bridegrooms, 209 were colored, and of brides 200. Nine negroes married white women, Eight Chinamen and one Japanese also took Caucasian brides.

Widowers had better luck than widows. Of widowers, 1,590, and of widows, 1,245 remar- ried. The men were ahead on third mar- riages by a score of 92 grooms to 38 brides, and one man was married for the fourth time, and one for the fifth time, with no woman to dispute the record. As to the ages of matri- mony, these are the figures :-—

The brides now almost disappear from the record. While there were 42 grooms between 60 and 65, there were about 6 brides, and but half that number between 67 and 70, alth ugh there were 24 grooms. Only one bride owned up to being over 70. ‘Vhere were 8 grooms between 70 and 80; and two grooms confessed to being between 80 and 90.

There were 37,330 deaths and 3),319 births. against 36,682 deaths and 30,030 births in 1885. Under 5 years of age 16,151 children died. There were 1,466 Violent deaths, of which 207 were from drowning and 222 by sui- cide. Fifty of the suicides were women. The means of suicide were: Stabbing and cutting, 25; hanging 38; shooting, 63; jumping from |heights, 15; drowning, 16; suffocation by gas, |14; poisoning with Paris green, 11; with ar- | senic in other forms, 6; opium, 14; other | poisons, i7.

——>-<-<— What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee’s German Syrup within a few years has astonished the world. It is without doubt the safest and best remedy ever discovered for the speedy aud effectual cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung troubles. It acts on an entire ly different principle from the usual prescrip- tions given by physicians, as it does not dry up a Cough and leave the disease still in the system, but on the contrary removes the cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected, and leayes them in a purely healthy condition, A bottle kept in the house for use when these diseases make their appearance, will save doc- tor’s bills and along spell of serious illness. A trial will convince you of these facts. It is positively sold by all druggists and general dealers in the land. Price 75 vents, large bottles.

A new permutation safe lock has just been patented, which differs materially from all others in the fact that there is no orifice to speak of in the door of the safe. The dial, which is such a conspicuous feature in ordinary safes, has no connection in this invention, except by electric wires, with the body of the safe, and may lie on the cashier's desk or repose securely in his home, free from any possible violence of the burglar’s hammer. There is, in fact, no limit to the distance that may intervene between the dial and the safe lock, granted that the connection is satisfactory and the battery sufficiently strong. A safe might perfectly well rest in a Chicago office and only be opened by means of a dial in New York.

The company of Canadian and English capitalists lately formed for the purpose of constructing a line of cable between Van- couver, B. C., and Australia, are vigorously pushing on the work. Mr. Sanford Flem- ing, the original promoter of the scheme, stated that the company has been thor- oughly organized. Application has been made to the Imperial Government for ves- sels to conduct the soundings and other work from the coast of Australia to the coast of British Columbia, and the matter is now under consideration. Mr. Fleming thinks that there will be no difficulty in

The Canadian Gazette says: “The Im- perial Government has, according to the Times, issued orders for the purchase of a large number of horses in Canada of the stamp required for cavalry and artillery, at the regulated price. This is, it need hard- ly be pointed out, a most significant an- /nouncement. Should it prove correct, it /may perhaps be looked upon «s the inaugu- jration of what bids fair to become a trade j|hardly second in importance to the Cana- ‘dian cattle trade.”

The Prince of Wales will preside, on the 112th instant, at a meeting of Lord Lieuten- ants, Mayors and other public otticiais from ‘all parts of the Kingdom, to discuss a pro- posal to establish an Imperial Institute.
