Snow fiercely shoveled back on the track was removed as rapidly by the giant sweeper, aided bv lesser electric power roaring back and fortli through the battlefield. Compromise followed, and then peaceful industry; gangs of men taking the disputed snow away. Sidewalk plows quickly clear the way for foot passengers after a storm. One is startled by meeting a horse advancing smartly along the crowded sidewalk, scattering comers in all haste into street and doorways, tugging past with plow and husbandman with a throng of people in the furrow in odd processional effect. The wide white path is made as smooth as concrete, stretching away unsullied in the less busy districts, down straight, tree-bordered avenues, past tall, snowheaped stone gateposts and fantastically snowed-up fences and houses. The pretty picture stays day by day practically unaltered, for nature in Canada has no midwinter business in the way

of altering her handiwork. LARGE SAILING SHIPS.

A famous heroine in her way was Catalina de Erauso, still remembered vaguely as the "Spanish soldier nun.” She left memoirs which have been translated or summarized or “romancij fled" in most European tongues. The truth of them has been disputed, but the writer points out that, upon the other hand, popes and kings, nobles and servants accepted every word while evidence remained to support or question the statements, says the 1‘hil-

udelphiu Telegraph.

Catalina ran away from a nunnery in San Sebastian at the age of fifteen, transformed her conventual habiliments into doublets and hose, and found employment as a page in the household of a noble at Valladolid. Driven from this refuge by the appearance of her father—who had no suspicion, nevertheless—she joined an expedition sailing for Peru under charge of Ferdinand de Cordova. Her ship was wrecked off Pita and she alone refused to desert the captain, who stood by his vessel. Catalina then built a little raft, broke open the treasure chest, took as much gold as she could carry and set off for the shore, but the captain was drowned embarking. She reached the town and accepted an engagement as manager to the tailor who made her new clothes. Complications of business and passion—for a great lady fell in love at sight—led to a first duel, in which she killed her man promptly. The great lady smuggled her out of prison, but Catalina found it necessary to repay this service by pushing the dame downstairs, probably breaking her neck. Then she jumped into a boat, put to sia, and was picked up by a Spanish vessel

bound for Concepcion.

At this place her brother was secretary to the governor, and he, all unconscious of the relationship, go* her a commission in the army. Very soon afterward she distinguished herself in an engagement, and for twelve years ranked as one of the most brilliant officers of the Spanish service—living mostly with her brother, but keeping the secret. This happy time came to an end in a midnight duel, when she killed a man unknown, who proved to be this same brother. Flying for life once more, Catalina crossed the Andes. All her companions perished, but she reached Tucuman after terrible adventures. Another love affair, all on one side, and another fatal duel brought her literally to the gallows, but with the rope around her neck she escaped. Traveling on to Cuzco, she joined an Alcalde with a pretty wife and a gentleman, his friends. In a very few days'Catalina perceived that these two had an understanding. The Alcalde perceived it also and took an opportunity to murder his faithless friend. He would have murdered his wife, but Catalina snatched her to the saddle and rode furiously for Cuzco. The Alcalde pursuing, she ran him through, but received a desperate wound. The fugitives got safely to the bishop’s palace. Catalina knew, however, that her secret must be discovered now. She had just strength enough to reveal it to the bishop before fainting. The worthy man reported the whole story to the king, who sent orders that Cata

The accretions of a later date may be distinguished from the small bits of genuine tradition that are all that have come down to us by their very appropriateness, by their aptitude to enforce the tendencies of the age in which the tradition took definite literary form; thus the miraculous element in the story of the Exodus would grow naturally out of the desire for religious edification, the omission of other mention of other tribes than their own from the growing national exclusiveness. Hut where we find details given which are opposed to the tendencies of the later time, such as the Midianites, later on Israel's bitterest enemies, figuring now as their main helpers in a spiritual as well as material -sense, or the forefathers of the two great tribes, Ephraim and Manasseh, springing from an Egyptian mother, there we may surely draw conclusions favorable to the genuiness of the tradition of which they form part. No explanation can account so simply for the faithful reproduction in the Hible narrative of Egyptian names and circumstances ns that of the memories left by a lengthy sojourn in the country. ABOUT WILD BOARS. As In*j>*ctrd In n Zoological Garden the Animals Show Good Points. A wild boar is always pictured as a ferocious beast, and hunters agree that they would as soon meet a lion. But young wild boars are far prettier than anyone would suspect, says Golden

Days.

In their wild state, however, no one lias had an opportunity to inspect them closely, and it is only iu a zoological garden that their good points can be appreciated. Their bodies are slim and elegant, their snouts line, their ears short and their legs and feet almost as finely shaped as those of a young antelope. Their color is a bright fawn or a rich tan, with longitudinal stripes like those of a tabby kitten; and, in place of the thick bristles of the other pigs, their bodies are covered with a long and thick coat of rough hair.

The engineer on a western Now York train picked up a queer passenger recently. One evening he saw something come from the bushes at one side of

midshipman on the Canada, one of his old shipmates writes to the Youth’s Companion, he delighted in escaping from the supervision of the captain and physician. This was not because the boy was a bad boy, or one wiio rebelled against the rigid discipline to which he was held like any other middy, but because the captain and doctor watched over him with the solicitude of a grandmother. The prince could not act freely like any other middy without exciting their anxiety lest lie should fall overboard or make himself

sick.

one day, off the lonely coast of Newfoundland, part of the ship's company got leave to go seine-fishing and, for a wonder, the captain permitted the prince to go, too. We pulled a long distance from the ship. It was a clear autumn day and the sport was delight-

ful.

The prince, who evidently felt a boyish glee in the sport, became a regular Jack Tar for the time being, lie insisted on doing two men's share of the work of hauling in the nets and collecting the fish. As a result, when the party returned to the ship in the evening the enthusiastic youth presented a sorry-looking figure, with not a dry stitch of clothing on him. The old captain was shocked, the physician grew alarmed, and the imprudent boy was forced to hie himself to his cabin, go to bed and take some preventive dose. Thus has royalty to be watched and fondled and at the same time disciplined, till it is filled with sadness over the misfortune of its

birth.

A Trying Ordeal.

A graduate of a theological seminary in one of the eastern states says that in that institution the candidates for the ministry were obliged to undergo a very trying ordeal. Each of them was compelled to preach a short extempore sermon, in the chapel, to the bishop and one of the professors, who formed the sole congregation, and who occasionally interrupted and criticised the sermon. One day a candidate, a young man hardly out of his teens, who was by no means a ready speaker, overwhelmed by nervousness, began stammering: “I will divide my congregation into two—the converted and tbe unconverted.” This was too

cision or his impressions with a frankness which makes these jottings more characteristic of the man than his conversations with his ministers and courtiers. M. Lanin, a Russian, reports in the Contemporary Review several of these marginal jottings. “They are a set of hogs,” is a phrase that recurs frequently. “What a beast he is!” is another. “Discouraging” is the sterotyped commentary written upon reports of fires, of failure of crops or of some other calamity. Two years ago the czar wrote this disparaging remark upon the margin of a document prepared by his own imperial council: “The council thought to trick me. but they sha’n’t.” As it is the custom to glaze everything the czar thus pens and preserve it in the imperial archives, the members of the council were highly indignant when they heard of the libel. The state seccretary was requested to explain matters to the emperor. "Well, and what do they want done?” asked the czar. “That your majesty would be graciously pleased to order that the words should not be glazed over nor preserved in the imperial archives, lest they should be endowed with an invidious species of immortality.” “What foolishness!” exclaimed the czar, smiling. “However, 1 11 have the words struck out.” The libel disap-

MASTER ON BOARD. A nusftian Admiral Who W a» Kunnin£

Ills Own Ship.

If all the stories of kings and emperors are to be believed, the inference must be that they respect no one s<> mucu as the uiuu who has liie courage of Ills own opinions. Admiral Greig joined the Russian navy when a boy. nnd rose to the eomronnil ot * he Black Sea fleet, which the czar reviewed from time to time. One tine day his majesty expressed a wish to enjoy a cruise in the flagship. The admiral accordingly set sail, aud all went well until a sudden tempest broke, to the great discomfort of the imperial party. , The emperor entreated the admiral to put back, but the wind was contrary and the admiral could attempt nothing of the sort. The emperor then succumbed utterly to seasickness, and peremptorily ordered a return. "I acknowledge that his majesty is ruler of all the Kussias,” said the admiral, “but I am master on board. You may tell his majesty that his commands

cannot be obeyed.”

The ship was actually driven within sight of the Asiatic coast, but only when the storm abated could his autocratic majesty’s orders be obeyed. On finding himself safe on land, tho czar begged the admiral’s pardon for his impatience, and presented him with the usual gold snuff-box. set with diamouds and suitably inscribed.

A Gentle Itemlmler.

A minister had traveled some distance to preach at a small town and at the conclusion of the morning service waited for some one to invite him to dinner, but the congregation gradually dispersed and left him standing alone. Finally he stepped up to a gentleman and said: “Brother, will you go home to dinner with me to-day?” "Where do you live?" asked the gentleman. “Aboui eighteen miles from here,” was the unexpected reply “No, but you must dine with me,” said the gentleman, with a.
