After afew moments of great anxiety, the boats crept up, the cutter on her port, and the long-boat on her starboard quarter. Wylie ran forward, and, hailing Hudson, implored him, in the friendliest tones, to give himself a chance. Then tried him by his vanity. ‘Come and command the boats, old fellow. How can we navigate them on the Pacific without you!’ Hudson was now leaning over the taffrail, utterly drunk. He made no reply to the mate, but merely waved his cutlass feebly in one hand, and his bottle in the other, and gurgled out: ‘Duty to m’employers.’ Then Cooper, without a word, double- reefed the cutters mainsail, and told Welch to keep as close to the ships quarter as he dare. Wylie instinctively did the same, and the three craft crawled on in solemn and deadly silence for nearly twenty minutes, The wounded ship seemed to receive a death blow. She stopped dead and shook.

All stood up in the boats, ready to save him; but either his catlass sunk him or the suction of so great a body drew him down. He was seen no more in this world. A loud sigh broke from from every liv- ing bosom that witnessed that terrible catastrophe. It was beyond words, and none were uttered except by Cooper, who spoke so seldom; yet now three words of terrible import burst from him, and uttered in his loud, deep voice, rang like the ship's knell over the still bubbling water: ‘ScurtLep—sBy Gop !’ (To be eontinued.) —_—o———— ss - [For Tue Examinex. | The Hen Fever. Many have had it, some badly. Some have it now. It is catching. Hens don’t; the human biped is the victim. \ Beware of it; prepare forit. It begins with the idea that there is money in the egg-pro- ducing business,—Idea No. 1, and a good one it is, with a provisc. Next follows the idea that the money isa sure thing, then that the more hens the more egys—-the more eggs the more egg-money—the more egg-money, the more overplus money. Herein is the fallacy, the string of fallacies. The reverse is more likely to be true. There is money- profit I mean—derivable, but let twenty gointo the basiness, and nineteen will rue it. I mean to say this will follow if they ge imto it big and rashly. Where eggs bring 15 or 16 centsa dozen on an average, eight months of the year, and feed is cheap and plenty egg: producing to a reasonable extent does and ought to pay under judicious management, Nearly a quartér of a million of dollars was got for eggs by P. E. Islanders last year; fully that will have been received this year or I misjudge. Much of that money is got to profit by the producers. The trade is enlarging. Pullets are being reared and kept— this is well—old hens are being held on to; this is not well. At two or at most three years of age hens should be got rid of. They lay too few eggs after that. The Boston market is large but it has its limits. At the present rate of increase in three years time the egg shipment from P. E. Island to Boston—the only market. at present—will have reached its desirab limit, or 1 am mistaken. Hens ara not sure to be a safe individual investment. They are not Dominion bonds; they are bank shares. Hens are egg-making machines— natural, not mechanical... They cannot be oiled, wound up, set agoing and left to.go ahead with certainty of com- tinuous, satisfactory operation. How can a reasonable quantity of eggs be produced to profit most economically? That is a query. Have you the fhen fever? Think; think twice. Put the pros and the cons in the balances. Say to yourself: Hens are fowls, fowls are birds, birds are not pigs, sheep or cattle; birds are the sons and daughters of liberty, the wild. wood their habitation. To them ‘‘the prison is a gulf and fettered feet the worst of ills.” . They are children of the day, owls and night- hawks excepted. They enjoy the light; they revel in the sun-light. The untamed, uncontaminated breeze is their native air; the water of the spring and of the forest stream, their drink. Say to yourself, ege-making as a business is not natural to the bird. Being unnatural nature cannot be expected to carry it out long unassisted and uncontrolled. Being unnatural and exhaustive loss of productive power soon follows. If the bird lay the first two or three years of her life eggs as many as left to herself she naturally would lay and make birds of in her natural life- time, can she be expected to keep on laying at that rate three, four or six years longer! People seem to think so. Reason says no; experience’ answers no! Again, and ought to have before alluded to this, obser- vation. tells that fowls seek and swallow coarse sand or fine gravel when at liberty, and under ordinary circumstauces; and we partly know why it is needed. Reason assures us that eggshells cannot be made continually without shell-making material be supplied as needed. Then the humble egg-producing hen is wont to sport her- self in dust and ashes when she can, and it is important that opportunity for the indulgence he afforded her. Then there is ordinarily to the fowl, when at liberty, choice and variety of food, and also of the little this, that and the other, which like mustard, pepper, and that sort of thing with us, render their food appetizing and capable of digestion and assimilation; not to speak of the plants and herbs which, in common with the brute creation, they instinctively partake of, for the ills to which their flesh is heir. And, then, birds delight in warmth,—the sunny side of the hill; in winter, southern latitudes. Birds, too, are cleanly in their habits; they loathe and abhor dirt. Now, to sum up, buy one, two or three hundred hens—not pullets—(hens not likely to be the youngest of the flocks they come from, three to six years old most likely) crowd them into an ill-lighted, ili-ventilated, ill-suited, out- building, with or without a couped-up out- side enclosure—a prison pen—a Libby prison—provide one or two sorts of food for them, and put Tom, Dick or Harry in charge; or worse, depend on three or four of the household, a)] and singular, to attend to them, and expect the thing to pay?

TERRIBLE DEED OF 4 JEALOUS MEDICAL STUDENT. A horrible story of murder and suicide comes from Scotland. A medica] student’ named William Brown, residing in a vil of Lanarkshire, near Glasgow, had recently been paying his court to # Miss Spires. Jealousy on Browa’s part had caused many disputes, and his morbid disposition had recently given great uneagi tives of the girl. On the 2# met Miss Speirs -by nent in the highway pear her © s house. He renewed his accisations and, , be- coming beside himself with rage, he drew a knife and madea rush at the unfortunate girl. Her shrieks brought a maid servant, who had probably been on watch, to the rescue, and the two women struggled des- perately in the darkness for ‘their lives. Brown quickly overpowered them, cut. Miss Speirs’ threat in such a manner that death resulted almost instanily, and fatelly stabbed the servant, He then cut, his throat and fell beside the victims. The servant, whose wounds did not im-° mediately render her unconscious, managed to crawl back to the house. Sheknocked: faintly at the door, but, receiving no reply she traced with her bloody fingers‘on the doorstep .the. following words :—‘*Willie did it.” Later in the night the prolonged absence of Miss. Spiers and the servant caused a feeling of alarm. Search was immediately made, and Brown and his sweetheart were found lying side by side in the: roadway, and the servant on the threshold~—all dead. The parties were eminently respectabl eand well known. ~_-—__-_ —__-<» «<+ ap -o Home News Itema. Hon.

In closing his interesting report on Canada, made to the British Institute of Agriculture, Professor Tanner says:—‘*To capital, skill and industry, Canada offers many and great inducements, and as a natural corsequences there are steadily flowing into that country, spreading pros- perity and contentnent along their course. At the same time it is specialiy worthy of record, that there is an entire absence of that lawlessness which isfar too common in other districts. The right of property are most clearly recognised and firmly main- tained, and it may be confidently stated that there are no subjects of Her Majesty more thoroughly true and loyal to the Crown than the people of Canada,” The Toronto World, in announcing the appointment of Mr. Geo, W, Ross, ag Min- ister of Education in the Ontario Gover- ment, says:—“While this last move ma increase the strength of the Government, it is none the less a confession of their critical condition. The all-powerful party that Edward Blake turned over to Oliver Mowat has nearly run its race so far as the present control of the province is concerned. And it must not be forgotton that Mr, Mowat’s gain through securing him is Mr. Blake’s loss at Ottawa in parting with Mr. Ross. The mother is hacked to save the child. Mr. Blake has parted with his most suocess- ful man in the House, and Sir Richard Cartwright’s chances of getting back as the financial exponent of the Reform party are greatly improved. Considerable excitement was caused at Winnipeg recently by the falling of a meteor. To the ordinary observer the sight was astartling one, and its appearing in daylight intensified the feeling amongst those unacquainted with astronomy. Those who first saw it speak of it as approaching the earth from a northwesterly direction at degrees. The meteor, to all appearance, was about the size of acannon ball, and had a greenish blue flame encircling it that gaye it a weird look, and the flash when the meteoric sub- stance exploded shadowed the entire city as if it were a flash of, lightning. In its descent to the earth it resembled somewhat a rocket that would be discharged at a pyro- technic display. The fire and smoke which followed in its wake stretched ecross the heavens fora distance of about twenty degrees, and faded from view about fifteen minutes after the explosion. British News Notas.
