The lady ca e by the Bay of Fundy steamer to St. John where she took the C.P.K.. for Vancouver. thence to Hong Kong by steamer, She is due at Hong Kong on Dec. 10, on which day she is to wed Captain Brown of Hantsport, but who is now in charge of docks at Hong Kong. The particulars of the case are a bit romantic. Miss Hibbert {visited Hong Kong early last summer with her father. There she met Capt Brown for the first time. She promised to return in the fall and marry him and she has kept her word. Going mo mm to _Wp_l. Miss Hibbert, daughter of apt. Hib- bert of Yarmouth, purchased at Digby the rst through ticket ever issued at that station to a person going to Hon: Kong. uavquo When the moon and the sun are on the same side of the earth, as is the case at new moon, they unite the force of their attractions in heaping up the waters of the sea. The same thing happens when they are on opposite sides of the earth, as at full moon, for then each by attracting `in an opposite direction, assists the other in pulling out the ocean. so to speak, as one might pull out the sides of a rubber ball. According to the theory in question, the same force: of the sun and moon which raise the tides put a strain upon the crust of the earth which, by caifsing the strata of the rocks `to slip and slide a httle produces earthquakes.

If this theory is true, how wonderfully sensitive the apparently solid globe must be to the impulses conveyed to it by the attraction of the bodies hundreds, of thou- sands and millions of miles distant ! The Use of Microbes. Don t go away with the idea that the microbe is no good. Science, which in the long run nds a use for everything, has xed her eagle eye on the much maligned microbe, and has announced that it can be used in the preparation of ax bre. Heretofore it has taken several months to` rot the straw so that the bre could be separated. It is now discovered that the rotting is brought about by microbes, that then can be articially bred for this purpose in vast numbers, so that enough microbes can be turned on the bre to do the business in a few hours. This discovery, it is said, will soon make linen as cheap as cotton. The reason-assigned is similar to that by which we are able to account for the greater height of the tide: at new and full mean. Earthquakes. Several shocks of earthquake which have recently been felt in various quarters of the globe at about the time of the new moon recall the interesting theory that the earth is more frequently shaken near the periods of the new an ! full moon than at any other times. Lists of earthquakes covering many years have been prepared. which seem to favor this theory. III!

The large majority of farmers will be satis- ed if they can make a prot of $20 on each 1 steer, and many of them, who buy steers to fatten, consider themselves amply repaid if they can secure the rst cost of the steer ; and the value of the food when the steer is sold, provided they have the manure left over as a. prot, and the labor of caring for the steers must also be deduct ed from the manure.

Mr Interlude layin between the verses of a hymn is gradlially incoming a lost art. Not 2 many years ago no organist would allow a V hymn to be sung "without an interlude of some length after each -verse, but now the most that is expected is a short succession of chords after each alternate verse, and even this is often omitted; The reason is very obvious. Poor organists nd the interlude y the most troublesome partof the perform- ` ance and are glad to omit it, while good per- 1 formers have no other op ortunities to dis- play their ability. The c ange is for the better, for the interlude as it was played by some was a distraction from the -rest of the service. At this point the rescued ma.n'opened his e es and said faintly, `f is there anything ` a ut giving brandy in the rules? Yes. Then never mind the other fteen. How Deep Does the Earth Quake `2 At Virginia City, Nev., , the great earth- quake of 1879 was not noticed by the miners in the deeper portions of the Comstock mines. The famous earthquake at the same lace in 1874, which cracked every brick uildin in the city,.was merely noticed by some o the miners working in the upper levels, but did them no damage, not even . shaking down loose rocks and earth. The station men in the various shafts felt it strongest, and the deepest point where it was noticed was by the ninth station man, who was on the watch at the 900 foot level which is, of course, 900 feet below the sur- face, He said it felt like a faint throb or pulsation of air, as though a blast had been red above, below, or in some indenite direction. In some of the Vireinia City mines the shock was not felt at all, not even by station men in the shafts. A Fresh Fllh Story. A man whfle shing suddenly fell into the water.
