KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

It pays to treat domestic animals kindly. There i: no animal so stupid as not to know the difference between kind and un- kind treatment, and none so vicious or un~ grateful as not to respond in kind to the hand that pets and caresses it. ‘The vic. ious horse has almost always been a timid colt, and required only kind and gentle treatment to drive away fear and establish confidence, to render him docile.

{tis the nature of all animals to resent ill-treatment, even from one of their own species, and to fight when imposed upon, Thus the horse will return a kick or a bite. while the horned animal will do battle with the horns with which nature has furnish- ed it.

A timil and spirited colt is very natur- ally and rapidly changed into a vicious and unmanageable horse by rough and unkind handling—and the timid heifer, by the same treatment, becomes an ugly, hooking and kicking cow. Domestic animals res cognize kindjwords as well as kind acts, and a cross word ata critical moment will bring fight and determined opposition, where a kind word would have calmed fear and subdued anger. In handling domes. tic animals, that man is the most success- ful who governs his own passions. With domestic animals, kindness begets kind- ness, and passion begets passion,

A BRIDES PREROGATIVE USURPED.,

A judicious display of sensibility is con-

sidered indispensable to the correct be-

havior of a bride at the altar, and is thought by many persons to be eminently becoming. It is usually, however, kept within due limits, and not allowed to inter- fere with the celebration of the ceremony,

which is, after all, not a wholly unpleasing one to the bride. We have never, however,

heard that any such display of feeling was expected of the bridegroom, whose nerves may reasonably be deemed equal to the ordeal of facing a personage so formidable as the binder of the knot which is to unite

him for life to the obiect of his affections.

Nevertheless, the positions of bride and

bridegroom were thus reversed at a fashion. able wedding the other day, when a noble bridegroom actually fainted as he was in the act of placing the ring upon the finger of the bride, and had to be bourne out of church by the groomsmen. It would have been natural and excusable had the bride followed suit. But she did not: with ad- mirable nerve she sustained alone the bur- den of the remainder of the service. We have heard of persons dying of pure joy, and we can only suppose that in this case the ecstatic felicity of the bridegroom, as he felt that the woman of his heart was at last his own, was too mach for him, and robbed him of his senses, Or was it that there suddenly flashed across his mind at the supreme moment for the first time the full significance and appalling responsibili- ties of the holy estate of matrimony, and that, too late, he felt that he had irretriev- ably committed himself to a leap in the dark? Llowever this may have been, we trust that the bridegrooms of the tuture will not take this scene as a precedent, and usurp what, from time immemorial, has been the bride’s peculiar prerogative—the sole right of fainting at the altar. — Coming Events.

A FEMALE CHEMIST.

We often read of women who unsex themselves in appearance in order to en- gage in some masculine employment, such as that of a sailor or soldier, or even a farm band. but 4 Russian journal tells the fol< lowing incident, which is still more curious than any of these:

A young Russian has for some years been prosecuting his chemical studies at the University of Lepsic with unusual zeal, The young man, of an aristocratic exterior, made friends of all who came in contact with him Kecently he passed a most bril- liant examination, which was rewarded with the dignity of a Master of Arts.

Soon thereafter a young lady called on

the University, addressing the celebrated savant in the following words :

“T desire, professor, befure [ depart from Leipsic, to express to you my most hearty thanks,’’

The professor, perfectly astonished, ob-~ served :—

‘“¢Thanks—but for what?’

“ Listen, sir. I was married to-the old Prince——. My husband died some years ago. He died insolvent, so that I was left even without the daily bread, I resolved to seelkk the necessary means of subsistence in science,”’

The professor then interrupted her, say- ing:

* Yes, most gracious lady; nevertheless { cannot see why you should address any thanks to me.”’

The lady continued:

‘‘Observe, then, it is now more than three years that here in Lepsic | have been astudent. The student who lately passed the examination, and whom you coaside:- ed worthy ot distinction, is none other than myself.”

LIE DOWN AND RES?.

Dr. Hall says the best medicine in the world, more efficient than all the potations of the materia medica, are warmth, :: cleanliness, and pure air. Some pe: make it a virtue to brave disease, up’ as long asthey can move a fo: wiggle a finger, and it sometimes su but in others, the powers of life are by so completely exhausted that the sy:: _:

has lost all ability to recuperate, and car« ries the patient to a premature graye.

Whenever walking or work is an effort. a warm bed and a cool room are the very first indispensab!es to a sure and speedy re- covery. Instinct leads all beasts and birds to quietude and rest the very moment dis- ease or wounds assail the system.

ENGLANDS LAND FORCE.

According to the Army Estimates laid before the House of Commons in the ses. sion of 1876, the total force of the army of the United Kingdom during the year ends ing March, 1877, consisted of 7,117 com missioned officers, 16,386 non-commission~ ed officers, trumpeters, and drummers, and 109,281 rank and file, making a total of 132,804 men of all ranks. The total forca of the British army in India was stated to amount to 62,849 men of all ranks. The troops here enumerated do not constitute the whole armed force of the United King- dom. The estimates contained votes for four classes of reserve forces—namely 1. The militia, permanent staff 5,063, and 134,556 men in training service; total, 139,619. 2. Yeomanry cavalry, permanent staff 287, and 14,971 yeomen;; total, 15 078, 3. Volunteers. 31,823 artillery, and 136, - 927 light horse, engineers, and rifles; total, 168,750. 4. Enrolled pensioners, 10,000 first-class and 20,000 second class; total, 30,000. Making a total of 518,357 of alt branches of the service. The total cost provided in the estimates for 1876.7 is £15,281,600. From this was deducted £1,292.109 for estimated Exchequer extra receipts, leaving a net cost of £13,980,500.

The British House of Commons, by 156 to 152, passed motion that receut appointment of Controller of Stae tionery office is calculated to diminish in« fluence and usefulness of select commit. tees of this House, and discourage zeai of officials of public department. Controller T. Pigott was appointed directly by Ewl Beaconsfield, who is a friend of his family. The appointment contravenes recommend+ ation of the Select Committee of Com- mons, that Controller should have techni. cal acquaintance with duties of office. Pigott does not fulfil this condition, having been previously employed at the war office, The Times says that the results of last night’s vote cannot be serious. The min~ istry received a gentle admonition to bea little more careful in appointments.

At Wimb edon on the 17th, the Canadian Shield was presented by Colonel Gzowski to Duke of Cambridge, representing the National Rifle Association. Duke and Lord Carnarvon returned thanks. Private Jamieson, of Fifteenth Lancashire, Liver« pool, won the Queen's prize, scoring 70, highest possible score being 105, tiring seven shots each at 800, 9.0, and 10QU yards. The Canadian Shield goes to Scot land. It was won by Paton, of First Lan- ark, by best aggregate score,

THE PROSPEC] FOR FALL TRADER,

There is much in the present outlook to occasion hope amongst our merchants of a healthy though perhaps not large fal! busi. ness. We believe that it will be late be- cause there is among retailers a general indisposition to buy goods until the crops are not only beyond any harm in the held, but actually harvested and in the barns. So misleading were appearances last year, up to the very beginning of July, that many bought fall stocks upon the strength of a presumably good crop, only to fiad that the harvest was short, and that they had bought too much. Wedo not expect the trade to be large, partly because of ita latemess and the fact that people have learned to buy more%sparingly and partly that many country stores, boot and shoe shops, milliner shops, drug stores, the stock is by no means light even now, and a wholesome fear of overstocking possesses many dealers§ “3a

It is notic-able that the aspect of the growing crops has altered since the publi- cation of reports by the dailies. Needed rains have falien, and as we elsewhere note more particularly, there has been a marked change for the better, in spite of the vari- ous storms that the last week or two have witnessed.

There is everywhere indicated a better tone in commercial affairs, Some lessen. ing appears to have been effected—we wish the lessening had been more marked —of the number of shop-keepers; a decided reduction is made in the stocks carried, people are buying lightly and in some quarters at least are resolyed to give, as well as take, less credit henceforth.

Our banks may assist this healthy dispo. sition by wisely limiting their accommoda. tion, an | our wholesale houses can benefit themse!ves and their solvent customers by ceasing to credit unfit men, or to force goods upon any trader or any locality in excess of its wants. — Monetary Times.
