stabbed by a prisoner in 1872 during a visit to a convict settlement.The murder had no political motive, but during recent, years, as a result of the unrest which followed the partition of Bengal, the life of a Viceroy has been aimed at on more than cno occasion.lii November, 1909, Lord Minto wr.-: making a tour of India, and during a procession through .Ahmedabad two bombs were thrown at his carriage One was cleverly intercepted by the sabre of a sergeant of the Inniskillirg Dragoons; the other hit the umbrella which was being held over Lady Minto and fell harmless lo the ground.The culprits, were never discovered.In November, 1910, when Lord Minto was holding his farewell reception at Calcutta, three natives who had got in with forged passes, were arrest' d on the charge of shadowing the Viceroy.Lord Minto escaped other perils.During the trial of some conspirators in 1908 one of the prisoners confc?sed that their plans had included a plot to assassinate Lord Minto, Lord Kitchener, and other high officials.The informer was afterwards -h \u2019.dead in his cell by a fellow prisoner.In November, 1907, Lord MhVo was making a prolonged tour, when the officials got wind of a pint against nia life, and the Viceroy\u2019s tour was cut short.In February, 1909, while his lordship was at Assam for a few days\u2019 shooting his train passed a spot where a few hours previously a bomb was thrown at a passing train, and lie coincidence gave rise to disquieting suggestions at the time.Lord Mtnto\u2019s predecessor, Lord Cur son, was also once In peril.During the hearing of thé Kolhapur bomb cas-in April, 1911, one of the prisoner confessed that at the Delhi Durbar ol 1891 four men were deputed to ki\u2019d Lord Curzon as he was passing in tin procession, but the courage of the conspirators failed at the last moment.Ollier distinguished Indian officials have been in peril.F jr attempts were made in the course of three years to murder Sir Andrew Fraser, L'.euten ant-Govevnor of Bengal, thrice bombs were hurled at the train in which hr was travelling;, and once a native fired at him in a lecture null in Calcutta.STAN BRIDGE- EAST.The meeting of the Young

Oh! the irony of fate to think thaï the noble men after achieving whal they set out to do, namely to reach : the South Pole, and after seeing Capt.Amundsen\u2019s cairn and records, they should perish so miserably for the want of provisions.I think when the relief party found their remains a more pathetic scene was never witnessed by human eyes.Capt.Scott : and bis companions sitting calmly waiting for death and the Capt.with : his back to the tent pole and his I precious diary for a pillow.I hope some painter will make an Historic ! picture of that scene.I cannot but | think that some one bljmdered in thi ; matter of supplies, to think only a little tea left.In the New York Sun day Times, January 12th., there i:-a review of Capt.Amundsen\u2019s bool and story of how he reached thi South Pole.I was very much struck oy one quotation, after relating how -he .jen passed their time during th.ung Artie winter, each man havin, ' allotted duties to do, he spoke of tin good health all the men enjoyed and that he did not lose a single man.He said that he had always been a temperance man, but he said that thanks to the munificence of a firm of wine merchants in Copenhagen they had a good supply of wines and spirits, and that each man was served three times a week with two ounces of spirits and on Sundays with one glass of wine each and that he was firmly of the opinion that the use of the alcohol was in a great measure the means of keeping the men in good condition.I think Capt.Amundsen was perfectly right, I i don\u2019t want to defend the free use of I spirits but I think all t.ranee : people must admit that they - - ary I i useful at times, and had Capt.Scott | and his companions had a supply | , with them when they made their fin- ! : al dash for the South Pole, they j , would have been alive to-day, hut ; ! their names and their heroic work ! j will live through all the ages, as a j noble example of English pluck and j daring.Yours Truly.JOHN JAQUES, i Windsor Mills, Que., Feb.14, 1913.A \u2022 new religion, or rather, a religion which includes several of the tenets of different creeds, New Thought, Theosophy and Buddhism, is attracting many followers in

THE MAKERS DO NOT KNOW THEIR BUSINESS.Horace Greeley was once moved to observe that while the world contained a reasonable proportion of men utterly incapable of making suc-tesses of their own businesses or of doing anything else with the intelligence and energy necessary to bring it to a satisfactory completion, there was not one so poor and feeble that he didn\u2019t feel fie could take charge of any newspaper and make a much better journal of it.What was true in Greeley's day is true now.One of the national exercises consists in wondering how the paper could have forgotten to put in such and such a thing or how any reporter could he so stupid as to say that this thing was that way when anybody ought to know it was entirely different.There was once a Connecticut editor who became distracted by reason of the ministrations of a female temperance worker.She continually besought him to print columns of argumentative matter which he did not consider had a proper place in his news pages.In despair he told her that he lacked the necessary space, whereupon she sat down and spent two hours explaining to him how materially he could improve his publication by eliminating the prize fighting and murder information in which nobody was interested and substituting \u201cgood temperance news.\u201d The editor spent the next week keeping an accurate record of the ad-^vice and criticism which came to him.At the end he found that if he had been responsive to all of it he would bave eliminated on criticism every line in his paper.He could not have replaced it.with anything else because his volimteer advisers and critics were miles from agreement among themselves.So nowadays he keeps right on in the old fashioned way guessing to the best of his ability.The newspaper publisher prints daily evidence for a gigantic jury.He long ago gave up any fantastic notion of getting the jury into unity of opinion.He has trouble enough in printing the evidence at all.He has even given up expecting the average reporter to possess as much technical knowledge and interest in steamboats, women\u2019s gowns, machinery, social customs, politics, pure food, war, the stock rr-arket, uplift work, court procedure, aeroplanes, railroad rates, medicine, religious observances, art, music and barroom gossip as would a congregation of enthusiastic experts in these various lines.He is even convinced that a linotype operator may err in composition without being either an imbecile or a scoundrel.He sometimes goes so far as to condone the iniquities of proofreaders.But he is shamefully conscious that he is unique in these things.Take the case of a paper such as the Times.On Monday, the Times published exclusive of advertising matter some eighty columns of printed composition.That means a total of over 100,000 words.The average popular novel of popular size conta ns somewhere in the neighborhood of 50,000 words.Novels are always written by geniuses, who take months for the job.Yet we have occasionally discovered errors in novels.Mr.Shaw perpetrates such anchronisms as peopling Vermont in Revolutionary days with Presbyterians.Mr.Marriott has constructed obviously impossible steafnships.In one of Mr.Chambers\u2019s great works we were startled to find the hero suddenly identified as \u201cDouPpL?6793R?\u201d In a written effort twice the size of the average novel put together pt express speed and bound to be in the hands of its readers at an early hour each afternoon we should naturally expect wholesale blundering\u2014if we had not learned from experience that except in marvellously small quantities it can be avoided.The benighted individuals who write the' daily news for the press write about a multiplicity of things.With no one of these are they as familiar as those intimately connected with it.Nine tiines out of ten they do not feel the slightest personal interest.Yet accuracy and even atmosphere of a sort are expected of them.They get a surprising amount of both \u2014 particularly when the necessity of speed in the getting is considered.And then the printers put it into type and the presses roll it off and John Jones, who has been complimented, is inclined to facilitate his town on the Possession of such an enl ghtened palladium of liberty, and Bill Wilkins, whose mother-in-law\u2019s middle initial has been linotyped into error, wonders why the commonwealth doesn\u2019t take better care of its mental defectives.We relate this little tale not in any spirit of defence or even in sorrow, but merely in order that the laity ' may intelligently join us in marvelling at the daily miracle which takes place in the office of every newspaper.\u2014Hartford Times.DISCLOSED MILITARY SECRETS.Manile, Feb.18.\u2014A deaughtsman of

jeweller\u2019s shop in Paris stood a splendid motor-car.Towards this, after purchasing a bangle, tripped a dainty little acri-ess, exquisitely dressed.But the pavement was being repaired, and a loose

and thanked him sweetly Then she offered him a piece of silver, but he shook his head.The lady blushed, and there was a moment\u2019s hesitation.Then, raising her veil, she offered her delicate cheek to the son of toil.\u201cKiss me, sir.\u201d And the big navvy, blush\u2019ng like a schoolgirl, but with the manner of an old-time gallant, imprinted a kiss on the fair one\u2019s cheek.The navvy
