Brothers, Saturday afternoon.The operation will be a lengthy one and the preparatory stage was not continued.Owing to the length of time in which the body has lain in the grave the bones are all awry and the various portions of the skull have all fallen apart.The preparatory work ot the two experts consists in cleaning up the remains and setting up the bones of the skeleton, to ascertain the nature of the wounds,andwill requirethe utmost care in putting the skull together.Saturday's investigation failed to disclose even the nature of the fractures in the skull.Dr.Caven said that as the Surgeons had until May to complete the examination, it would be proceeded with deliberately.A thorough examination of the Colborne street premises, where the tragedy occurred, was made by Detective* Davis and Cuddy and Crown Attorney Curry in the afternoon.Five photographs of the house were taken and will be used at the trial.The weight which was said to have inflicted the fatal blow was also taken possession of by the authorities.High Constable Bissonnette, of Montreal, arrived in the city on Saturday with a warrant for the arrest of Harry P.Hyams on a charge of forgery.It was placed in Inspector Stark\u2019s hands and will be executed in the event of the acquittal of Hyains on the charge of murder, A suit against Dallas T.Hyams for $500, balance due on & pair of diamond earrings, has been instituted by J.E.Ellis & Co.The sale of the Hyams\u2019 effects realized about $250.Hamilton, Feb.18\u2014Dr.Chamberlain, Ontario Government Inspector of Prisons, was in the oity on Saturday.He inspected all the local charitable institutions and found everything satisfactory.Dr.Chamberlain intimated that he would recommend that the Government withdraw the grant to all hospitals which are run by the municipalities.In the event of his suggestion being adopted, it is probable that the Hamilton City Council will hand the city hospital over to be controlled by a Board of Governors.The doctor says the city will save $10,000 a year by adopting the latter scheme.Mrs.Young, widow of the Rev.S.A.Young, while walking on upper James street with her daughter on Saturday morning, was taken suddenly ill and sat down on a door step near by.She expired almost immediately and before a phvsicuu could arrive.Death is supposed to have been caused tty heart failure.No inquest will be held.Mrs.Young was 67 years of oge.Henry Geiger, a German, about 00 years of age, who has kept a saloon at the corner of Queen and King streets for several years, committed suicide this morning hy hanging himself in a barn in rear of ths house.Geiger left a note saying that business and domestic trouble caused him to take his life.About two years ago he was married.to a supposed widow, but shortly afterwards the first husband turned up and threatened to cause trouble.He did not claim her, however, but Geiger and the woman lived unhappily until two months ago, when they parted.The deceased was in good circumstances as far us known.He leaves four grown-up sons, ali of whom hold good positions.MANITOBA.Winnipeg, Feb.IS.\u2014Chas.Gillies, of Lsthbridge, a married man with three children, and a respected citizen, on Friday night suicided by sending a bullet into his brain.It was well known to the people of.Lethbridge that domestic troubles, brought about by the unfaithfulness of Gillies\u2019 wife was tho cause.Cousequeutly there was much indignation, and early on Sunday morning a party of Lethbridge citizens banded together aud proceeded to the house of Jim Donaldson, whose name was unpleasantly connected with the domestic troubles leading to the suicide of Gillies.He was taken from bed aud immersed in tar and rolled in feathers, after which he formed a striking unit of an enthusiastic procession, which marched up aud down to the hotel, where he was put on view as a warning to evil-doers.When last seen Mr.Donaldson was making fast time over the prairie.\t' Tho dates of the Northwest Exhibition have been definitely fixed from July 29lh to August 10th.The buildings are being erected as fast as possible, and the exhibition is likely to prove the greatest event in the history of the country.It is the scheme Governor Mackintosh has unceasingly boomed ever since he became Governor.The Canadian Pacific Railway is lending valuable assistance os also is the Dominion Govern* ment.NOVA SCOTIA.Halifax, Feb.18\u2014The steamer \u2018New- foundland\u201d sailed for the sealing fishery Saturday eveniug.She took for St.John\u2019s several thousand dollars in money and provisions for the relief of the destitute, all raised ithin a week.When Baby was sfek.we rave her When she was a CiiilU, aha cried for When she became Miss, she chine to

the year 1894 shows a considerable recovery from the world-wide financial depression.More new books by 171 were published in 1894 than in 1893, while the reprints\u2014that sure sign of distress or uncertainty iu the book making business\u2014 were less by 68.Coming down to the classifications, we find theology scoring its customary increase, but science, education, and law increasing in still greater proportion, while belles-lettres and essays beat them all, the advance in the latter case being from 96 new issues in 1893 to 370 in 1894.Novels and tales jump from 933 to 1,315, but this is pretty well balanced by the decline in juveniles from 659 to 269 The question of accurate classification comes in here, as the Circular observes, and the difficulty of shading off stories told for the young from tales in general may account for the ups and downs in the two sets of figures.A better way would be to reckon both classes together, and then we should find the general group of fiction to have been about stationary in point of number in the two years.On the whole, the literary year show sa picking up of courage on the part of publishers.The American figures will probably reflect, as they usually do, conditions similar to those given for the English trade.\u2014New York Post.MIDNIGHT REPORTS.ENGLAND THAWING OUT.APPOINTED PROFESSOR AT CAMBRIDGE.Canadian Cattle in

country is fresh in mv heart and in that of my people.\u2014(Signed), Victoria.\u201d For the Tea-Table.When the family dinner is in the middle of the day it is desirable to have a savory dish a* tea, writes Elisabeth Robinson Scovil in the FeBruary Ladies' Home Journal.A little good gravy can easily be made by boiling a few well-cracked bones for an hour, straining and thickening the liquor with a teaspoonful of fiour rubbed smooth, seasoning with pepper and salt and adding a teaspoonful of butter.Heat the mince iu this, letting it come just to the boil, and serve on squares of toast.No ouo will dream of calling it \u201chash.\u201d The flavor can be varied by using a teaspoonful of curry powder, or a little cloves and allspice, or a pinch of sweet marjoram.Instead of serving on toast the meat can be placed in a baking dish with alternate layers of tomato, fresh or canned, the gravy being omitted.Cover the top with breadcrumbs, dot with bits of butter and bake three-quarters of an hour.The stuffing left from roast chickens or turkey can be mixed with minced beef, mutton or veal, shaped into round cakes or patties, and browned in a hot frying-pan with a little butter or cottolene.In made dishes the success depends qpon the seasouing and flavoring.If these are skillfully managed the basis of the dish matters less.The Blamedest Cat.This is a story about a Congressman from Indiaua, and it is perfetly true.One night, or, to he exact, one morning, not long ago the Congressman came home in a condition that might have given rise to remark.He was not intoxicated\u2014oh, dear no ! And to prove it he said \u201ctruly rural\u201d all the way up the stairs\u2014a thing which, as everybody knows, is an infallible test of sobriety.The light was turned low in his room, but he dimly Îerceived a large gray cat perched on a chair, 'he Indiana Congressman detests cats.\u201cScat !\u201d said he.sharply.The cat didn\u2019t stir.\u201cScat !\u201d repeated the Congressman.The cat took it good-naturedly and sat perfectly still- The Congressman shook the chair.The cat only rocked too and fro and then settled against the chair\u2019s back.\u201cWell, that\u2019s the blamedest cat,\u201d remarked the Congressman, as he pushed it off the chair.And it was.It had no fur.The Congress-man heard a subdued snicker, and turning, met his wife's eyes.It was a calico cat, and his ability to pronounce \u201ctruly rural\u201d w as of no avail.When the Czar was made Colonel of the Royal Soots Greys, an officer of the regiment said to his orderly : \u201cDonald, have you heard that the Emperor of Russia has l>een appointed Colonel of the regiment ?\" \u201cIndeed, sir,\u201d replied Donald, \u201cit is a vera prood thing.\u201d Then after a pause : \u201cBeg pardon, sir, but will he be able to keep both places ?\u201d The widowed Empress Frederick of Germany is said to be a talented artist in sculpture and paiuting.A most life-like portrait of her husband, a piece of bronze, was modelled by her, and the two castles she occupies at different periods of the year contain many creditable sketches by her in clay and on canvas and paper.The China-Japan far.The Surrender of Wei Hai Wei.Chinese Outrages on Foreipers.London, Feb.18\u2014A despatch from Pekin to the Central News says that 300 marirts belonging to the warships of the various powers are arriving there to guard the Legations of their respective countries.Tre Chinese are suspicious at their presence ard unless great caution is observed there is danger of friction which may become serious.The Central News correspondent at Chea Foo says :\u2014The foreigners who were taken prisoners at Wei Hai Wei, with the one exception of Howie, have arrived here.The ss \u201cKangt-hi\u201d brought the bodies of

warships.The crews of the vessels were set free^ The Chinese soldiers and sailors were taken to the Japanese lines on the Shantung promontory and there set free along with their officers.The foreigners who assisted the Chinese in the defence of Wei Hai Wei were taken to a place some distance away, where they will be placed on parole not to resume military or naval positions in China.It was a Chinese officer and not a foreigner who, after the suicide of Admiral Ting and General Chang, arranged for the surrender.Nanghai is in possession of the Japauese.Will Woman Ever Woo?Opinions of Various Lit\u2019rary Persons on This Enormously Important Topic.How to court the \u201cadvanced woman\u201d is a subject that is disenssed by one man and several women in Mr.Jerome K.Jerome's \u201cIdler.\u201d The man opens the ball and describes what he is pleased to call the \u201cdevelopment of the emancipated woman.\u201d He goes back to the csrly days when women were \u201cspoil,\u201d when \u201cman went courting with a club,\u201d a form of courtship which inclined the lady \u201cto respect for her lord and master, and to have a definite idea of his superiority, physical au.I mental,\u201d and this he finds the best way.From \"spoil\u201d woman passed to \u201cchattel.\u2019 \u201cMore numerous, she became cheaper,\u201d and as a chattel \u201cshe was offered by her guardian to the highest bidder.\u2019\u2019 As the man's miod expanded he began \u201cto see matters in tbei true light,\u201d and \u201cin his wisdom refused to part w'ith his goods for the possession of n wife,\u201d maintaining that the bargain was one sided.Woman then passed \u201cto the souvenir state.\u201d She was \u201cgiven away without exchange.\u201d This \u201chappy state of affairs lasted but a short time.\u201d The young man \u201cstill sought the maiden,\u201d but \u201cwith laudable foresight and thrift\u201d he \u201clooked to the guardian to provide the means to keep the bride\u2014and incidentally the husband\u2014in a proper state.\u201d Woman bade farewell to the \u201csonvenir\u201d stage and entered upon what may be described as \u201cwith a pound of tea\u201d period.At * first man was content with enough cash or kind to keep him and his bride for a year or maybe two, but this again increased to ample for tw ice a lifetime of luxury and ease.Now even that stage of progress has been passed, and as an outcome we have the \u201cemancipated woman\u201d or \u201cman woman.\u201d As yet it is true they are few in number, though mighty of speech and of pen.As to marriage between an intellectnal woman and an \u201caverageman,\u2019 George Egerton \u201ccannot sec how he will suffer by his marriage with her.She will have tact enongh to make him feel proud of her brain and tenderness enough to make him feel sure of her heart.Woman at her best will always be attracted by manly qualities in a man, and if the average man is only prepared to give as well as take, to realize that the weman he marries has a conscience, opinions and feelings of her own, and to treat them with the same deference as he would extend, say, to those of a male chum, he may safely risk courting her\u2014and as much in the old way as possible.\u201d Mrs.Mannington Caffyn, the author of \u201cA Yellow Aster,\u201d thinks that it would be advisable'to let the \u201cadvanced woman alone for awhile,\u201d as she \u201cis suffering a little from knowledge shock, or more perhaps from an overdose of unassimilated knowledge and its disagreeing with her constitution and distorting her mental vision.\u201d Lady Violet Greville, who writes sporting novels, thinks that the advanced woman may do her own courting.\u201cThe average man is certainly no match for the advanced woman, and if she makes up her mind to eschew marriage altogether, which really seems the only logical outcome of her opinions, there is no doubt that, outnumbered and outwitted, we must succumb to her superior dominion.Then perhaps we might return to primitive times, and man, like the peacock, spread his plumes in the sunshine to attract the woman\u2019s admiration, while she, plain, neatly dressed in men\u2019s clothes and renouncing all claims to beanty, stood by scornful and recalcitrant.\u201d Five-Minute Athletics For Boys.(From Harper\u2019s

Nevertheless, this five-minute exercise i« better absolutely than nothing, and hence I am going to make a suggestion or two regarding it.If you know any one who can tell yon the \u201csetting-up\u201d drill practised in the navy, get him to show it to you, and then go through a part or the whole of that each night and morning.If yon cannot find out what this is make up a few simple move mente lor yourself, for example : 1.Standing erect with knees and heels together move the body forward and gradually try to touch your fjngers to the ground in front without, bending either knet>.This is a familiar exercise to all of you, but it is a good one nevertheless This will do for the back and front leg muscles.Bend forward twenty times, and then take np the second exercise.2 Standing with the legs apart, swing from sidéré side, bending either knee in turn, and touching the floor first on the right then on the left side, being c&refnl, however, to sway only sidewise and not forward and back.Do this twenty times and yoar sides will ache.3.Grasp one wrist with the other hand, holding both across yourchest Then, without letting the elbows go too far out from the body, pull with all jour strength a steady long pull, its if trying to pull year hands apart.\tMaintain this pull for a second or two.Then change abruptly, and holding arms and hands in the same\tposition push with all your strength for the same time.Again reverse and pull, and so on forty times\u2014if yon can do it so long\u2014and you will soon see how all the arm and chest muscles begin to acbe.Finally, 4.Lie flat on the floor on your stomach, and keeping your body rigid, posh yourself up with the arms as far as possible.Of course nothing must touch the floor but the palms of your hands and your toes.Do this twenty times.In Extremis.\u201cSo the pugilists finally came to blows.\u201d \u201cYes.one blew a coUnnu an l the other a column and a half.\u201d\u2014Detroit Tribune.1 CbUdwQ (kr Pitches

Sir,\u2014The \u201c William Cramp and Sons\u2019 Ship and Engine Building Co.\u201d of Philadelphia has been k>.d enough to send me a handsome volume, giving the history of the Company, beautifully illustrated with portraits of many of the ships it has built.William Cramp, the founder, Commenced wooden sliipi building, in a small way, in 1830, employing in all about 100 hands In forty years he built 207 ships.In 1872, seeing that the substitution of |lroti for wood was inevitable, he formed n Joint Stock Company with a capital of $500,000.The total number of ships built by the Cramps, and now buildjng, U 282, including 26 warships J\u2014in addition to which 141 marine engines have been constructed.The capital is now live million dollars ; the building yard and accessories cover 13 acres of ground ; it owns five wet docks, a dry dock 462 feet long, a marine railway, an ord nance plant, and a great floating derrick.It gives employment to 5,C00 hands, and its weekly pay roll amounts to $54,000 ! i is now finishing two \u201cocean grey hounds\u2019\u2019 of 10,700 tons each, to compete with the \u201cCampania\u201d and \u201cLucania.\u201d The perusal of this interesting volume has set me thinking about Quebec, and I hope I am not asking too much, when I ask you to publish my conclusions.Why should not Quebec build iron and en glne steel steamships T A few years ago.not a single iron or steel steamship wan built in Ireland.To-day, one firm alone,\u2014Harland and Wolff, of Belfast, the former a Yorkshire man, the latter German, employ 5,000 hands, representing at least 25,000 souls, all the year round ; they have built some of the finest and fastest steamships afloat, and have a worldwide re putation.In 1802 they launched 68,000 tons of shipping, the largest amount of tonnage turned out of any one yard in the world Now I propose to show that Quebec la better situated to day for steel shipbuilding not only than Philadelphia or Belfast, but, in some respects, even better than Glasgow itpelf.The steel plates, frames, beams ami rivets for these ships aro not produced either at Philadelphia or Belfast.They are rolled at a distance from the shipyards, and transported, in one case by railway, in the other by railway and water ;\u20141.Ocean freight rales have been so reduced by competition that they are now almost nominal, and thus distance is a matter of no consequence.Mr.Rae will tell you that any quantity of pla:e«; angle iron and beams can bo landed at Quebec Meeting of the Federal Cabinet.Mllitln Notes.Ottawa, Feb.18\u2014The last batch of militia general orders contains the following :\u2014 No.3 Montreal Field Battery\u2014Major John Smyth Hall is permitted to resign his commission and to retain the rAnk of Major on retirement.To be major : Captain George Robertson Hooper, vice Hall, retired.To he captain : Lieutenant Richard Costigan, vice Hooper, promoted.Ninth Battalion, Voltigeurs de Quebec\u2014 To be lieutenant : Lieutenant Pierre Georges Roy from the 17th Levis Battalion of Infan try, to complete establishment.ARTILLERY INSTRUCTION.Special courses of instruction will be held at the Tete de Pont Barracks, Kingston, from the 7th to the 10th amt from the 28th to the 31sfc May (inclusive) for the instruction in fire discipline, field manœuvres and range finding i ftDm KDgland in teh dayB at alj3Ut jo 50 per of officers commanding held batteries who | kon.a ^ which wUl not ekceed the coat of tfattsportirtg from the rolling mills to Phila- DISSOLUTION OR A SESSION NOT DISCUSSED.THE MINISTERS DISPERSING.(From Our Omi Correspondent.)

Rev.Dr.Carm.vx, not long ago made an assault against the Government of Canada for paying a large sum of money to Roman Catholic Churches for the repose of the soul of tho late Sir John Thompson, Premier of Canada.The Rev.Dr.Carman is a gentleman of large abilities, but ho has a habit of leaping before he looks.He formulated charges without taking the trouble to satisfy himself of their accuracy When he said that tho Government of Canada disbursed moneys to Roman Catholic Churches to pay for masses, he made a statement which does not bear even the semblance of truth.It appears that he had no ground at all for saying so.The yarn seems to have been circulated to do injury, and was based on nothing reliable Dr.Carman* lent himself to the deception, and took no opportunity to find out how true or how false the story was.By simply writing a line to Sir Mackenzie Bowell he could have gained the informa tion he wanted.He did not do this.He accepted as true a flying and wholly irres ponsible report, and on that flimsy authority he inveighed, in trenchant tones, against the Government.la this becoming conduct from a Christian minister ?Does he always depend on flying reports and rumors for his facts, when preaching the Gospel?Dies he never take pains to find out whether he is right or wrong ?The Premier of Canada has punctured the story told by the Rev.Dr.Carman, and it leaves the divine in a most unfortunate position,\u2014a position from which he will find much difficulty in extricating himself.Sir Mackenzie Bowell could, very well, have afforded to treat the ridiculous camrd with silent contempt.But he explains, in a public letter, that two members of the Funeral Committee, out of three, have been spoken to about the reverend doctor\u2019s slander, viz., Hon.John Hagoart and S dicitor-General Ccrkan, and both of these gentlemen declare positively, that not a dollar of public money was spent for masses in any Roman Catholic Church, for the repose of tho soul of the late Sir John Thompson.No money for such a purpose was authorized, nor is it intended to pay for such services.Dr.Carman ought to at once apologize to tho Premier, and the country, for his gratuitous statement,\u2014a statement which he would never have made, had he taken the trouble to find out the true facts of the case.A man in his position is usually looked up to.If wo cannot got truthfulness from the clergy, where must we look for it ?In the appointment, yesterday, of the Hon.Joseph Octave Arsenault, to the Senate of Canada, in the room of Senator Howlan, now Lieutenant-Governor of Frince Edward Island, a distinct recognition of the Acadian population of the Maritime Provinces is made.A few years ago, the descendants of the old Aca-dians had little voice in public affairs, t hey were practically ignored.Of lata years, however, a different order of things lias prevailed.In the Senate, we have now two or thres Acadians.In New Brunswick, tlie highest Court in the land is presided over by an Acadian.Indeed, our worthy fellow-citizens of Acadian descent, are having their innings, and it is a pleasing fact that so many of them aro able to Like their legitimate place, in positions involving great responsibility.i players.Montreal SPORTING NOWS Q.A.A.A.ANOTHER attraction at the rink.Mardi Gras night will be celebrated in good rousing fashion by another grand Fancy Dress Carnival on the Q.A.A.A.Riuk.The pronounced success of the ^isl has given the management every encouragement, and they intend to make this coming Carnival on Taesday, the

getting pretty badly handled all rouud, both by their opponents in Montreal and hy their rriends at home.It must not be forgotten that all the boys do their level best when they go away, no matter\thow badly they are beaten, and if their opponents play such a superior game.Then it must be admitted that, if they get defeated when they come here, it goes to show that they also do not play as well on outside ice, or else it proves that even at their best, the Quebec team must be superior However, Ottawa, who thrashed last Saturday, and who defeated Quebec last month in Ottawa, are coming down here ?ext Saturday intending to do what neither Montreal or Victoiia succeeded in accomplish ing, defeating Quebec in Quebec.The ex oitement about this match increases every day, and there is no doubt that it will be the hottest match of the season, and it is donbtfulif the Rink will be large enough to hold the spectators.Slàbtown is sending down a large contingent to howl for its team, and every patriotic Quebecer should be on hand to urge ou the Rock City boys.PRACTICE THIS AFTERNOON.The Quebec Senior Hockey team will have a practice this (Tuesday) afternoon, at 4 o\u2019clock, in

series on the Sherbrooke rink tonight.It was a splendid game throughout, and the rink was crowded.At first it looked as though Lennoxville were going to have the advantage, but Sherbrooke soon warmed up and finally won a most stubbornly contested game by 5 to 4.They would undoubtedly have scored more heavily in the second half bad it not been for the excellent goal-keeping of Rothera, who stopped several difficult shots in first-class style.Sherbrooke have still an unbroken record in the K.T.League, and their chauces for the Championship are very promising.The following were the teams :\u2014

British market will earn more than tlje cost of the transport of her materials, by car rÿing à cargo of grain or deals from Canada to Europe.The Government will, of course, readily admit everything free of duty.3.Quebec has too a great advantage over every shipyard in Great Britain or Ireland in another respect.Every steamship built in these yards must use Quebec pine for docks, state rooms and all her interior fittings.¦ay must, because no other wood has been found as suitable.Messrs.Farnworth & Jardine, of Liverpool, in their last annual circular admit that other woods have been tried, but that, notwithstanding its high price, none have been found as satisfactory as the best Quebec yellow pine.Teak has been tried, but it is too costly.Pitch pine has been tried, but it is too resinous and too hard for the best joiner work.4.Then as to workmanship.No one who has watched wooden shipbuilding in Quebec, but .must have been struck with the skill and intelli gence of French-Canadian mechanics.It is true that a good deal of slop work was done in St.Roch's and at Levis, but this was not the fault of the mechanics, but of their em ployers who insisted on cheap work.Mr Coker, Surveyor to Lloyds\u2019 Registry, once told the writer that he had seen work done in the yard of the late Pierre Brunelie quite equal to anything in any of Her Majesty\u2019 dock yards ; and as to model, Capt.Orkney who commanded one of Brunelle\u2019s ships, the \u201cBrunelie,\u201d told the writer, that she was one of the fastest wooden sailing ships in the world for he|had seen her make 14 knots ! Even as late as 1877, the late Henry Dinning, with the late Francois Lachance, as foreman, built ¦hip at Cap Blanc, (the \u201cCosmo\u201d), which Mr Coker pronounced \u201cthe best ship ever built in Quebec\" ; she was much admired in Liver pool, and made a very remarkable run of 26 days from the latitude of the Cape to Anjer deeply laden with coal, and as to joiner work any one who has seen the fittings of the \u201cQuebec\u201d and \u201cMontreal,\u201d or the finishing of the best new houses in Quebec or Montreal will admit that it is first-class in every respect.Cramp\u2019s men had to begin a new apprenticeship to steel ship building, but they rapidly learnt it, and so will Canadians, Any number of skilled foremen can bo im ported from the Clyde, as Janies Goudie was and he was the first to build a successful Ocean steamship.What has been done in Quebec can be done again.5 Then as to the rate of wages, a very important matter Here again Quebec bos a great advantage In the Clyde, mechanics aro paid from $1.25 to $1.75 per day.But in winter, thousands of good mechanics would gladly accept $1 per day in Quebec.Indeed, I have seen good ship built in Quebec at 60 cents per day, and in a time of great depression I once bad a ship built at 50 cents per day, and the work was well done too.But we don\u2019t want to see men work at such rates now ; $1 a day will give Quebec a great pull, provided there are no strikes.Then Quebec has at least three dry docks all ready to hand, plenty of yards at a cheaper rental, and plenty of wharf room for finishing the ships.6.But it is useless for individuals with small capital to attempt steel steamship building.It would end in speedy failure ; commissions would eat up all the profits as they often did in the days of wooden shipbuilding.Cooperation is the ouly means, through limited liability companies.Costly machinery of the very best type is necessary.In the Clyde yards you may see machines handling and turning 90 ton shafts as easily as the late Mr.Fullerton handled a small wooden spar io one of the Quebec shipyards { machines pnaching and cutting steel plates as rapidly as a tailor handles his scissors and needle ; and machines boring cylinders 100 inches in diameter as easily as man bores a small wooden pump.Messrs.Carrier, Lainé A Co,, aud Mr.Davie have no doubt some valuable macniuêïy, for we know that large iron steamships, such as the \u201cTitania,\u201d \u201cLake Huron\" and \u201cPoly nesian\u2019\u2019 were all efficiently repaired at Levis.But that is not enough for building new ships.If the late Janies Roes were alive, I am sure he would start such a Company, and make it a success.His brother has inherited one half of his great fortune, much of it made by building and running Quebec ships, and cannot conceive of any work in which he could better employ a portion of it, for it would give bread, clothing, and fuel to thousands of industrious meu, who are now either idle or are compelled to leave their homes in search of work.I hope I have shown that, given the necessary capital, Quebec can now compete with all the world in huilding steel steamships.W ho will take it up ?I am too old now to help, except, per haps, by advice, but I should greatly rejoice to see prosperity return to the famous old city where I received such unparalleled kindness for 25 years, and where I spent the happiest years of my life.Apologizing for the length of this epistle, I am, faithfully yours, Henry Fry.Sweetsburg, Que., 15th February, 1895.Not th« Same.A neat example of the retort

shave at the hands of a favorite barber, who, although an excellent craftsman, sometimes committed the mistake of becoming loo familiar in conversation, the talk turned on the case of a man who, being on trial for murder, had been recognized by visitors to the court-room as a young theological student from a Middle State, where he had been the possessor of a spotless reputation and a totally different name.The conversation theupon drifted to the subject of changed identities.Morton\u2019s barber rubbed the razor ou the strop reflectively, aud said : \u201cYes, it\u2019s surprising how many m>*n change their names after they get out West.By-the-way, Morton, what was your name back East ?\u201d \"Mister Morton,\u201d was the quiet reply.\u2014 Harper's Magazine.When Others Fail

have far out-stripped both trotters and runners.Bicycling, moreover, has great charms for those who have neither the capacity nor desire to attain great bursts of speed.The exercise is as pleasant as horseback-riding and very much cheaper But no matter how general the use of the bicycle may become, walking is not likely to lose its devotees.Daily walks must be taken within a limited horizon, however, while the regular bicycle-rider\u2019s area is extended amazingly.It has been asserted with some authority that the same effort that is required to walk one mile will propel a bicycle six miles.Bicycle-riders, at least, will not dispute this assumption.Now let us see what are the consequences of this increased capacity.A man who lives in a suburban district, in his walks around his home, if he be an average walker, will go two and a half miles out and the same distance back, making his walk five miles.In his various excursions he is likely to explore the district about his (iome for two and a half miles in every at-cessible direction, and if roads be plenty he may become acquainted with the general fea tures of the landscape within an area of about twenty square miles.The same man on a bicycle will extend his radius to six times two and a half miles, and will therefore make fifteen miles out and fifteen miles back.He will thus have so broadened the domain of his observation that he may explore the country embraced within 707 square miles.Vigorous walkers who go five miles out and back enjoy a territory of seventy-eight miles but this vigorous and ambitious man, if the six to one assumption hold good, would on the bicycle extend his excursion to thirty miles ont and thirty back, so that he in time would have fer his own all there is of beauty and instruction in 2827 4 square miles.The cheapness of bicychng as compared with horseback-riding i's worthy of consideration.A bicyole costs from $100 to $150 a horse costs from $200 to very much larger sums.I he keep of a horse is at least $30 a month, including the charges of the farrier and veterinary ; the cost of a bicycle for repairs ought not to be $3 a month ; indeed, many of the makers guarantee them for a certain time, and make repairs without charge.So first cost and maintenance are both in favor of the machine.DRESS CAPS HAL/F PRICE.At all our Sales every class of Goods is
