latter three societies under the ban of the Roman Catholic Church.Hot speeches were made.\u201cWhy the Pope did not want the Roman Catholics to be Oddfellows,\u201d said C.W.Gallagher, \"was because the Roman Calholitf Church, to exist, must confine the mental vision of its members to the narrow channels of ignorance, superstition and fear.\u201d Rev.B.F.RatUr, a Congregational Minister, said

is put in a copper or porcelain-lined kettle with cold water enough to cover it, and boiled for halt an hour or longer, if it seems necessary.When the wax is taken from the stove it is strained and poured in a vessel previously dipped in cold water.To make a round cake of beeswax, pour the melted wax in a bowl that has been dipped in cold water.When cold it may be easily removed if the bowl was dipped in cold water.To make wax sheets, use a hoard three-eighths of an inch thick, dampened with warm water, then dipped in the melted wax two or three times.The hoard is next put in water to cool for a little while, after which it is taken out, the edges trimmed with a sharp knife and two sheets of wax preled off.To make these wax sheets the wax must not he too hot or it will

goal of ill.To pang* of nature, sins of will, Defects ot doubt and tuiuts of blood.\u201d A German journalist, who visited Bismarck recently, says that the ex-Chancellor has aged very much in the last few months.He eats with difficulty, can hardly hold hfmrelf erect, and speaks only in a tone so low that it is bard to understand him.vJJuJren Ce V Pitcher1* Ca?i ir fair-speaking proclamations and promises to pay at market value, bad recourse to the corvees, whic-h in 1760 at the ('onqi\u2019est had posted out of practice.This enforced gra* ti itmis labour was exacted in turn from tb« habitants of the parishes through which the mute lay, and was a form of the much talk* d of liberty which had certainly no very attra> * live features for those who suffered trom it.* (Ibid.Vol.VI, p.43 ) Then instead of paying for supplies, as promised, these were frequently seized by force and much suffering was thereby entailed upon our people : \u2014 \u201cThe Congressional Commissioners report) ing upon affairs iu Montreal stated : 'Such is our extreme want of flour that we were yesterday obliged to seiz j by force J5 barrel* to supply the garrison with bread.' \u2019\u2019 (Kiugs-ford.Vol.VI, p.06.) ' In an address published by the Commis\u2019 sioners \u2018\u2018great risen'ment was expressed al tie treatment the Canadians had received at tit hands of (he army of occupation.\" They we \u2022 called upon to see justice done to the Canadian population.But nothing was done.(Ibid.Vol VI, pp.67, 68 ) On the Congressional forces leaving Montreal to escape conflict with our troops approaching from Quebec in the spring of 1776, much goods and property isylongipg to Canadians were- arbitrarily seized by the soldiery, carried off with them, and afterwards aolrt for the advantage of officers and others of tha Continental Army.(Kingsford, Vol.VI.pp.75,78.) A Congressional officer who was present upon the occasion referred to, thu« speaks of this robbery :\u2014 _ \u201cThis transaction was notorious and excited discontent and clamour in the army ; yet it produced no regular enquiry.\u201d (Wilkinson, I.p.58.) It might be enquired what has all this to do with a monument to Montgomery?I, think it ought to have a good deal to do with such a project.There is not the slightest reason (except that he died like a good soldier) why Canadians should at all regard him, and many why they should dislike to glorify upon their soil an invading army which treated the Canadians of that day so harshly.Montgomery was plucky and brave, and I do not think him a fool, as one of your correspondents would appear to consider him.His gallant bearing, however, wm to be expected after his many years of service as an officer in a British regftnent.His own people have given him monuments in the country for whose service he gave his life, as wm proper ; but I cannot see that it is fitting for us to toady to them iu this way unless they are willing to reciprocate ~ fairly and sqnarely.Some others acting with me intend to ask the authorities of some United States cities as to the toleration prevalent there.We lost brave and honourable men\u2014in every sente the peers of Richard Montgomery, at Detroit 1813, WMhiagton and Bladensbnrg 1814, New Orleans 1814, to say nothing of the Revolutionary War.The friends of some of these would like to commemorate their sacrifices upon the scenes of their exploita.It will be interestin gto note the replies we get,.A previous correspondent elcquent waxes abont the\tpublic men of the 'two countries shaking hands at the foot of the proposed Montgomery shaft.It is all very pretty, but have we not metaphorically often done that before\u2014have made overture**, given concessions, done all wq could to be friendly aud retain onr self respect\u2014but siill we have confronting ns an Alien Labour Law, enforced with unmitigated meanuess, particularly at Buffalo, to say nothing of oilier matters.Perhaps the correspondent thinks we should apologize \u2018 because Montgomery was not permitted to be successful ! Canada for tbe Canadians and monuments on her soil for those only who have served her faithfully.United State* tourists will come just as readily and respect us infinitely more, if we respect oarselves.The White Serokant.> Ottawa, 2nd January.1895.Small Furs and Other Fancies.( From Harper's Bazar.) The novelty of the moment is a little collar-band of fur, to be worn as velvet atock-coliare are.It is merely a straight band of fur about three inches wide, standing out in projecting loops on the sides, then hooking in front, where it is adorned with two miniature heads of the animal that .meet together there.This odd little tour de cou \\a made of the glossiest black silken Persian lamb, or of the moiré Persian, or else of seal-skin, otter, or the shorter brown furs, especially mink or sable.The large fox boM, either white, gray, or brown, have been given as ChrislmM presents to girls who skate, sleigh, or ride the bicycle, as they arc very warm.They ara made of the skin of the entire animal attached to a slightly smaller head, and retain the full round brush, with good effect.Small boleros of fur are in great favor with young women.When well made they are extremely pretty, but there are many \u201cbotches\u201d among those seen on the street.The prettiest reach to the waist-line allround and button up closely almost to the throat, hut are arranged so that they can be turned over in revers, if preferred.The moet chic boleros have sleeves of miroir velvet that are of tremendous size.They are cut biM, and are of the same length all the way down, to droop below the elbow, where they are turned up and gathered to a lining.These are beautiful in velvetlike seal-skin, with sleeves of black miroir velvet, while other boleros are of black moiré Persian fur, with huge sleeves of striped velvet, or else of the lustrous and sleek miroir velvet.The handsomest sable boas have a wide collar-band that may be turned npor downM one chooses, finished on each end with seven tails of sable, making fourteeu in all, yet so soft and caressant are they that they yield to the touch like a jabot of lace.Small collets of seal-skin reaching just over the shoulder-tips are given an important look by a large ruche around the neck made of velvet of the same color thiexly lined and box-pleated.Another odd fashion is the collet of black velvet falling very full and also entirely double from a yoke of velvet.Each of the velvet collets is lined with ermine which meets face to face, and is out of sight except when blown about by the wind \u2022 A high collar, close about the neck, of black ostrich tips finishes the garment.Chincilla is very decidedly the fashionable fur for those w ho have sufficient color in lip and cheek to w^ear it becomingly.There ia great choice in this fur, the inferior skins looking brown and dingy beside the dear gray shades seen ia the best qualities brought from Arica.An undulating collarette in two rows, or with a stole front, is the favorite shape, as many insist that a mass of this fur when seen in large capes is not effective.It is.however, a charmingly warm and velvety fleece.It ia at its beat when combined with black or with seal-skin.When Baby wm rick, wo gave her Ctetorth When she wm a Quid, sno cried for

considered proper for any es'ening affair being counted in equally good taste at a rccep ion, writes Isabel A.Mallon in *\u2022 exquisitely-illustrated article on \u201cReception and Evening

1895.THE TALK OF THE DAY.England\u2019s most ancient Colony, Newfoundland, continues to be a topic of serious interest.The hard times have pinched the people.The bank failures have added great distress to the situation, and the political Complications have created worry and discontent.Still, theW Ab6 many who believe in the Island, and are ready to sustain their convictions, by actual and practical proof.The Bank of Montreal has decided to eatahlish A bfanch, and this powerful institution\u2019s movement will at once relieve the financial strain.Some time ago, it was thought that the Island would join Canada, politically, and many of her public men favored the idea so much that the matter was discussed seriously.It was known too, that Great Britain was desirous of the Union, and that fact gave courage and strength to the Unionists.Canada, speaking from the lips of Sir .lorts Macdonald, was willing to accept Newfoundland, as a sister.But after considerable talk, tho question dropped, for a time.Some day, perhaps, in the not remote future, our statesmen will meet those of Newfoundland, and something may be done.In the meantime, we must not forget the speech of Sir Terence O\u2019Brien, the Lieutenant-Governor of the Colony.H:s Excellency sa:d that annexation to the United States was favored by many of the influential Islanders, and it would not surprise him co see action taken in that regard before long.Sir Terence spoke, doubtless, from information of reliable character, which had come to him, in his official capacity.Certainly, during his residence and career in St.John\u2019s he had opportunities in abundance, of gauging public feeling.He had been favored with two sets of advisers, during a very few months, and he often emtte into direct contact with the people of every grade of politics and social life.He was not likely to be mistaken, and he must have felt it necessary to speak as he did, London Men in his position, as direct representatives of tho Queen seldom speak without permission from Downing street.Sir Terence O\u2019Brien, moreover, is no tyro in his profession He was sent to Newfoundland, no doubt, with specific instruct ons.The Colony has been turbu'ent at times', and very turbulent lately.But Sir Terence seems to have been equal to the occasion.One thing he has done.He has worked hard to promote honest Government, and to put down bribery and corruption.He has offered tho Islanders a panacea for their ills.Perhaps his efforts in the right direction, will be appreciated, later on.In this Connection, to show the drift of public opinion, it is well, we think, to print here, an article from the Boston Herald, which makes a straight bid for the annexation of Newfoundland to the United States :\u2014 \u201cIt may be beyond the range of proper diplomacy for the State Department to take into consideration the possibilty of annexing Newfoundland to the United States, but there is not the least question that the propo sition would be enthusiastically welcomed by the people of that ancient Colony if it were presented to them.It may be open to doubt whether there is anywhere on the Atlantic sea coast a tract of country wh ch has greater natural resources in the way of mineral depo sits than are to be found in Newfoundland and yet in spite of these attractions the peo pie are poor, while the financial condition is now little short of desperate, and it is hard to see how they can, in the absence of outside aid.pull themselves through the difficulties which at present surround them.\u201cThe population of two hundred thousand is now burdened by a debt of some fifteen million dollars, quite a large part of it in curred in what was held to be productiv work\u2014that is, railway construction, but none the less a load that the people cannot afford to carry.What they need is willing ness on the part of others to furnish the ca pital and energy required for the develop ment of their natural resources.For three hundred years it has been possible for Eog land to have done something in this direc tion ; but allhough fortunes have been made in England in generations past out of the Newfoundland fisheries, there has never been evidence shown of a willingness to freely in vest money in Newfoundland for other pur poses, and the possible riches of the interior are about as untouched as those of the in terior of our territory of Alaska.And yet during all these centuries, the Island has been almost in the direct line of the traffic across the Atlantic-, has beeu accessible at all seasons of the year, and has at times offered strong inducements to the traveller and ex plorer.\u201cIt is thought that the only way in which the financial burden which weighs upon the Colony can be carried, if its English cocnec tion is maintained, is by frankly admitting that political local independence has proved a failure.In that event the Island might Notes and News.SUBSCRIBB.The New York \u201cWorld\u2019\u2019

Was Written.Gen.Lew Wallace Tells a Bro «klyn Audience How the Book was Originated and Finished.General Lew Wallace, author of \u201cBen Hnr.a Tale of the Christ,\" \u201cThe Prince of Indisj\u201d and other works, lectured in the Brpokljrn Academy of Music last evening on \u201cHow Î calhe to Write Hen Fîur.\u201d An audience of a thousand persons listeded to Iiirti.He was introduced by the Rev.Dr.A.J.Lyman, who spoke of courtesies shown to him by United States Minister Wallace at Constantinople twelvé years ago.The leotufèf was greeted with nppUu-e, and begao by telling how io early cllildhool he was interested and fascinated by the story of the visit of the Wise Men from the East, led by the wondrous star, to the Babe of Bethje-hem.Continuing, he said : \u201cIn 1875, when I was getting over the restlessness ciused by the war, I began to write out the story of the Wise Men.I thought It might prove interesting as a serial in a magasine.I was not influenced by religious sentiment In the least.I hud no convictions of God or Christ.I neither believ ed nor disbelieved.Preachers had.no influence upon me.I had perfect indifference to what a French scientist called \u2018The to-morrow of death,\u2019 But the work was begun reverently and was prosecuted at times with awe, but this was purely natura1.My characters became living persons to me, and they would arise, sit, look, talk and behave like living perso/i', I heard them when they spoke and knew them by their features.They would answer when 1 called and some would become familiar and call me and Î Would fccognlie their Voices.\u201cAt first I had no thought of the coirtplete work and\tonly the firtt part and laid it aside: In 18761 heard a dismission of God; HMVeti, the herhafter; and Christ, and os i was imaging along Horriè I felj; ashattled because I knew so little of these things, and decided to study the whole matter.I made up my mind to eschew theology and commentaries and to give my attention to the four Gospels.How to interest myself and make this a pastime was the question, and I thought of the story which ended with the birth of Chi 1st.and decided to complete it by going on to His death.Tha subject was dramatic and full of possibilities In the revelation of God in person.But there was a long gap between His boyhood and re-appeafance ad â ih&h With a ttlUSioti.\u2018After weeks of reflection I decided to show the social, religious and political conditions of the intervening period.There was ho lack Of ineidept and person, and Rome furnished the poljlics.1 had fo conceive the religion, and so ere&ted the Hur family its types of the Jewish race.In the Christian incidents I set forth the power of a miracle.I had never been to the Holy Land, so I had not only to study its history and geography, but to study the customs and costumes of tho various peoples.I sent for everything I could discover bearing upon the land and peoples, and WrOte With mape and authorities at hand constantly.The greatest difficulty I found was not the invention of incidents and the choice of characters.I knew the Christian world would not have a novel with Christ the hero, but I had to bring Him io, and I had to avoid all sermonizing.To do this I held the reappearance of the Saviour until the last hours, having Him always ooming, but not appearing.Then I decided not to have Him an actor in any scene 1 invented.All His utterances were to lie in the words of the Gospels.In the five years given to the work only a small period s given to the writing, but the greater \u2022t to the study and research needed.I Tied the subject with me on railway jour-nevs and wrote one chapter on a delayed trip to Indianapolis.\u2018I wrote most of the book at my home in Crawfordsville, Ind.1 have done much under a great beech tree near the house.I wrote the last chapter of \u201cBen-Hur\u201d at Santa Fe, in the old adobe palace.I chose the name Ben Hur because it was Biblical, euphonious and simple.I became a believer in God and Christ long before I ended the work.I had not visited the Holy Land before 1 had written the work.But afterward, when United States Minister to Turkey, f piid an official visit to the Holy Land.I found I had made no mistakes, god also that many things I had merely imagined were real.It seemed to me tl at I had written in the book of things I had acen in softie former period of existence.\" In ounclnsion General VYallace «nid that he had frequently been asked what part of the book he thought the best.All he could say was that the part which gave him the greatest satisfaction was that which described the interview between Ben Hur and the two friends to whom he described his experiences In following the Christ.The writing of it convinced him of the divinity of Christ and the authenticity of the record of His life.\u2014-V.Y.Tribune.December 3*, 1894.3t&jan3&5-C Evening Dress Requisites.White Dress Shirts.White Kid

rirstenq And regulate the digestive organs by taking Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla.Sold by all druggists.French and English Fiction.It is Cilrious ami intefestidg td note that the English and French take opposite sides iu this dispute, the English preferring now, as always, the romance» or rather Its modern form, the novel of adventure, while the French take the keenest pleasure in the analysis of characters of passions playing within tjle frame of everj-day life.Before attempting to decide which is the better of these two productions, it may be well to try ami explain how the English came to choose the romantic and the French the realisiio method.The explanatiod seems to lie on the surface, to be seen by anyone who considers the circumstances of the tWo people.The English is a colonizing race, that seeks ad .ventures, and finds them in eveiy quarter of the globe.If Englishmen do not now push across p vthless forests to conquer dragons and deliver fair maidens, or plunge into sun-lets sea-caves to war with monsters more terrible than any to be found in the upper air, it is simply true to say that the dangers have only assumed new forms.Fighting fevers and famines in India, or toiling for a livelihood on the frozen plains of Manitoba, seeking gold amid the rainstorms of Mashonaland ^ or on the sun-baked waterless wastes of est Australia, the Briton\u2019s life is apt to be one of great vicieaitudea, filled with events as strange %s those which, in the telling, charmed Des-demona.It is uot to be wondered at that the race which most loves adventures and tierilr, and feels more keenly than others the ascinatiou of the unknown, should prefer works of art that render its peculiar passion ; there is nothing, perhaps, produced by Eng lishmen so English os \u201cRobinson Crusoe.\u201d The novel of adventure is still, as it has always been, the chief typo of English creative w ork in prose.The French idea of prose Action is wholly different, corresponding closely as it does, with French life and French character.The Frenchman is neithet adventurous nor romantic,but gifted with theLatin reasonableness and clearness of view, an art lover from his birth, with a leaning towards refined sensual ity.These qualities, and many other excellent differences will be readily conceded to him by every student of art or literature.For the model of his prose fiction, for the master iece embodying his characteristics as \u201cRo inson Crusoe\u201d embodies the character istics of Englishmen, wo must go not to \u201cGil Bias,\" with its Spanish in trigues, but to \u201cManon Lescaut.\" Every one kuows the story of the Chevalier des Grieux and his passionate love of Maoou everyone knows, too, how Manon\u2019s lightness and g&iety tortured and fascinated her lover how the Chevalier\u2019s parents made common cause with the authorities of Paris to separate the devoted pair, and how they failed.No one who has ever read it can have forgotten the story of Manon\u2019a death in that American desert, and of the Chevalier\u2019s inconsolable grief.This great work resembles \u201cRobinson Crusoe\u201d in nothing save the fidelity to life of its character drawing.\u201cRobinson Crusoe\u201d iu nothing save the fidelity to mao far more intimate, soul-revealing, and elaborate, than the somewhat careless sketchy portrait of Dca Grieux.But Mauon cau be classed, perhaps, even higher than Rohinson-Crusoc as a portrait taken from life.The varying fortunes, too of the French lovers are conditioned by their characters and by the circumstances of the time, and are not to be compared in strange ness and physical excitement with the wholly accidental adventures which called forth Crusoe\u2019s indomitable energy.Both books are acknowledged masterpieces, and the charm of the one for mature readers is certainly not surpassed by the fascination which the other exercises over the imagination of boyhood.\u2014 London Xaturrlny Review IS
