\u2022f the Ontario School Act.The latest solution of the Manitoba School question talked of among those who should know something concerning the probabilities of the case, is that both sides may refer the case to a Commission In order that it may be freed from the influences of party politics, and that the rights of the interested parties may be established by an impartial tribunal.There is

Were in their main feat ness correct, but he doubted whether the Tin kish Government was answer-able for the outrages.Ho believed that the Sultan was a humane man, but despotic Governments were feebler in controlling the doings of subjects than countries having popular Governm**»t.Lord Salisbury declared that he was not in a position to deny or affirm anything in connection wiih the massacres, but he felt that denunciation of the Sultan was extravagant.lie was against indulging in threats or protests which were powerless of enforcement, because this would only exasperate the fanatical fever and aggravate the sufferings of the Armenians.If it were* possible to forcibly interfere, if there were just cause therefore and if there was a prospect of general beneficial results

similar system prevails, and time lias proved that it works very well, both sides beiii'g satisfied with it.Sir Mackenzik Bowell, Sir Adolphe Caron and Mr.Daly had a long conference uith the Governor-General the other day, and it is believed that the talk was largely about the School question.At all events, immediately after the parley had taken place, the report was set in motion, that peace would soon be declared, and that a policy of harmony had keen agreed upon.Hi* FiXeelleiicy came to the meeting, fresh from an interview which had occurred between himself, and Messrs.Ghf.enway uid Sikton.The country will be glad if this vexatious matter can he settled in a way, which will cause no heart-buriiin^s on either side.The Ontario method of dealing with the question, works well, and there are no appreciable complaints.There is, therefore, no valid reason why Manitoba could not agree to a similar system.The settlement of the business on a peace footing, will, probably, deprive Mr.Dalton McCarthy of a good election cry, and Col.O\u2019Brien will find his party weakened by it, but the country at large, will rejoice.And now the sooner that the Government takes the public into its confidence and lets us know through Parliament, what comes next, the better it will be for all of us.The Postroaster-General, with his usual promptness, has met the views of the business men of Canada, and entered into arrangements with the Allans and the Dominion Line, by means of which the steamers \u201cL ibrador\" and \u201cVancouver\u201d will bo added to the Atlantic mail service.The arrangement is based on the plan which existed last year, when, ns our readers will remember, the fast boats of each lino carried the mails across the ocean.It is said that Sir Adolphe Caron is on his way to Quebec.When he arrives ho ought to take a walk as far as the Post Office and surprise the officials there by ordering a general cleaning up of the dirty and unwholesome place.He might also examine the condition of the Post Office boxes, which, he admitted some weeks ago, required renewing.They are old, and the locks are so faulty that thieves would find no difficulty in breaking into them and abstracting their contents.Sir Adolphe might also take a look at the floor of the Post Office of the third city in Canada, and if he likes fresh air he could note with what persistency the officials keep it from coming in, although the country supplies a ventilator.The thing doesn\u2019t ventilate though, because the hand of man hav covered it over with paper.Other .matters concerning the Post Office might engage the Po t-master-General\u2019s attention while here, and if his stop-watch is in good order it might interest him to time the sorting of the mails.If he has any offices to give, he might fill up two or three of the vacancies which have lately occurred in this city, in his department of the public service.With so many of their number absent, the clerks are, doubtless, overworked.Notes and News.PerHonul Zntrlllsrnre.Beenier, Esq., left last night for DINNER AT THE CLUB.GARRISON II.J.Montreal.John J.Finir, K q., the Hamilton lumberman, is at the

imitations of noted actors, was about to respond to an encore.\u201cWhom do you imitate next?\u201denquired Booth.\u201cWell\u201d was the reply, \u201cI was going to represent you in Hamlet\u2019s soliloquy, but if you look on I\u2019m afraid I shall make a mess of it.\u201d \u201cSuppose I imitate myself,\u201d remarked the tragedian, aud hastily putting on the other actor\u2019s wig and buttoning up his coat he went on and de livered the well-known lines.Next morning the newspaper stated that the imitations ruined the performance, \u201cthe personation of Edw\u2019iti Booth being simply vile enough to maku that actor shudder had he seen it.\u201d We print elsewhere, this morning, a tow lines, on the Newfoundland question, Item the pen of Mr.William Little, of Montreal.We ho|>e

weekly meeting of that b dy, expressed great disappointment that the negotiations of the Government with the Island had fallen through.The con sensus of opinion was that the Government had made Newfoundland a very reasonable offer, and that it should be accepted.The intense wish of the Council, Wes for the immediate completion of Con-federati in.And fays the repoit, \u201ca wish was exprèsied that the negotiations with Newfoundland be reopened, and also that the Imperial Government m'ght liecome a party to further conferences in the matter, as its interests therein exceeded

Sir,\u2014I was greatly pleased u.:x' rm opep-ing this morning's Ciikonicu: the intelligent view yon have taken ou the Newfoundland Confederation question, an l you must feel gratified to know that tl 0 Montreal Board of Trade Council b«* fcaUen the same sensible view\u2019 of this matter.Having had the pleasure of a few Words ift Montreal with one of the late Presidents of your Quebec Hoard of Trade, who expressed himself unhesitatingly in favor of our taking all reasotnible means to bring about the confederation of the anetehl colony wilh Canada, the thought OOohfrcd to me that possibly yottf Board of Trade might tnbe the matter up and if thought advisable nàmè dcRgrltioh to ÿî\u2019.*.sitptW oueLforft the Montreal Boafd of trade 10 to Ottawa Rnd interview the Government on this eubjzci.It appears to me that the suggestion id a good one that Great, Britain should be approached with tho view of having one or more delegates to participate in the negotiations at any future conference ; for under any circumstances she must be a p irty to any arrangement entered into between the colonies.Indeed it might not b\u2022 imprudent to have the conference held in London, which would be on neutral ground, where local interests would be less likely to interfere with the negotiations.The differences existing do not appear so serious but that some satisfactory adjustment might be made of them.And possibly the whole quest inn could be arranged withont greatly disturbing matters already agreed upon between tbe contracting parties, as these differences appear to hare arisen more by reason of the higher rate AT ifftefert to be paid by Newfoundland, thus increising her annual interest charge, than tpe amount of the debt itself?end in a master of this kind for such an object Great Britain might reasonably he asked to assist in the wiy of credit even if indisposed to render direct aid in such an important and really national question.William Little, (of Montreal.) Quebec, May 23, 189a.The Newfoundland Question (To the Eduor of the Morning Chronicle.) jjjtr*, Tfaring for years taken a very deep interest in the quifistfrrtj,trf the ConfwJeration of Newfoundland with Car.aJa; believing,- as I do, that it would be of direct an^ltftiii Women as Jockeys To-duy ihe sight of a lady t iding at one of our public races would be met with general condemnation ; but, indelicate as the prac tice may seem, it is not a hundred years ago since! the custom was in vogue.Ladies of acknowledged positions might frequently have been seen in the days of our grandfathers mounted on high-spirited horses on the race course.Women riders were also favored by betting men, being often backed against their male opponents at considerable odds.The Kipon races form a noinblc illustration of th practice.In the meeting ut this place of 1725, the l idns\u2019 plate was otto of the chief items of the programme.All the competitors were ladies.Tne nice consisted of three heat* ami a final struggle.At Birslwitl Il Jl, tie ir Thirsk, in Yorkshire, there is still preserved tin old-fashioned silver teapot, which is said to have been won by\u2019 a woman jockey.It bears th« peculiarly-worded irj soription : \u201cWell ridden, Miriam Wright son.\u201d\u2014A «steers.Banish dull care by using Frutti.It aids digestion and the system.Adams Tutti .gives tone to benefit to both countries, I have tried to i form myself of the nature of the difference existing in the terms submitted for cousidera-tion to see if it were not possible to suggest sortie means of reaching a satisfactory adjustment, and regret to feel that we have been acttiOg too much oil ths Hue of traders trying t0 drift! a Sharp bargain with each other than of friends endeavoring to remove difficulties so us to bring abont a nnifln of hearts as well as of hands in the event of Confederation, for the diiestiOn âhoitld not be considered one simply of a trade oargititt between the two countries, but rather a proposal 6't hnion for life, iu which it is not always eveu judidotia for those who arc arranging the settlements to deal too niggardly in the matter of pin money } for a dissatisfied bride is sure to become a discontented wife, and a discontented Province wonld lend its an equally unhappy life.Regarding the main point at issue I wish to Say that nnMl I read the dleftf stat;-ment made on (he subjeert by the Hon, Mr.Bond, of Newfoundland, as It appeared In the Star of this city, I was under the impression that he and bis associates had proposed what we understand under the familiar expression of \u201cbetter terms 1\u201d but, as shown by Mr.Bond, this docs fiot appear to be the case ; at least when considering the terms proposed by .Sir Charles Topper in 1888, Which* as published in the press; Were as follows :\u2014 \u201c1st.(Newfoundland to bfr allowed) eighty cents per head of population to 4W,000.2(\\d., Canada would give 3150,000 pr} an\u2019 nurï in bounties, to fishermen.This to be largely increase1 I\u2019Pitl it would reach every owner of a boat.1\t.\t.\t.3rd.Canada would take ovep £f'c,de>>t of the colony in proportion to the debt of tne.Dominion, and allow the Local Legislature 5 per cent, on the excess, if any.4th.The Dominion would pay the expense of the Governor and Government House.5ih.The Dominion will pay for a battery of artillery, which would be raised iu Newfoundland.Glh.The Dominion would pav for railways and public works, leaving nothing to be provided by the colony except roads, bridges and education.7th.The Dominion Would pay $\u2019.50,000 (or more if necessary), for the Crown Lunds of the colony.\u201d This being the rature of our proposal at that tirtie, 1889, unless condition* had greatly changed since then, there Was certainly eome reason for thè dèlègatfes from Newfoundland anticipating onr ttbfcedir# lO the terms now proposed by them, aud it apftè&fs to me we are wrong in assuming, as is dont*, that these gentlemen are demanding more than\twè should be willing to concede ; for 1 d6 not see wherein they are asking mote than to be placid «n an equal footing with the other Provinces of the Dominion ; ami less than this they should not be asked to accept, for to bring Newfoundland into the Union on inferior or deceptive terms would be the height of folly, as nothing but dissatisfaction cofald resole from such a course.The sixth article.- as is seen* clearly states nothihg wa* to be provided by the colony (Newfoundland/ except roads, bridges ami education, and tbat the Dominion would pay for the railways and public works.And this article seems to be a summary of the whole offer.The seventh ami last article would appear to leave it optional with Newfoundland to retain hèr cr f $51,477, and the Intercolonial cost $48,132 per mile of railway.And, w hereas, our indebtedness has arisen cltiillv front bonuses to railways and other non-productive public work, Newfoundland will be able to show u substantial railway of 506 miles iu length cros-iog the Island, amt opening up marly the whole country to settlement, and representing more than one-half of her debt, also a graving dock of large capacity that cost about t$600,003 (we all know what they cost in Canada) together with about fifty lighthouses, bombs and \u2022 ther marine signala Moreover, the Crown Lands.of Newfoundland, Whether timber, mineral or agriculture, have not yet litvl therr ehoiciist locations nearly all alienated to spcCuîiUor» and others, as is too much the ca«e iu the o hèr Provinces, leaving only the cullings for present disport.So tn it altogether, aside from the material, ttocfal and other ad ant-ages, oven as a purely businefs matter, it appears to me W3 would have the best 61 the bargain.But even if it wire otherwise, and the financial aide much to our disadvantage, the other benefits to bo derived from Confederation so /dr nnrpass them as to make them trifling in cortipafisoo, Indeed, the more this matter is considered tho greater appears to have been the blunder committed >»l not at once acceding to the proposal submitted by the Newfoundland delegates provided of course it was satisfactory to the people of Newfoundland ; ami I believe it to be the\tUnanimous opinion of intelligent Canadians that those who undertook the ncgoti&tfon on the paft of Canada have fallen fhort of what was expected of them by the country'.$0 better evidence of this is required than thé Sjtmfiirtiitÿ with which their political opponents apptand théîr action and the almost unanimous regret ot their friends t.hat they had not acceded to the terfrtS pro-po5?i! bv the New foundland delegates.It requiTeS a trial of patience to remain passive when we consider that wc paid out over $130,000,000 in railvTay construction and losses in operating expenses alolte to connect and bring into the union with ths Canadas about 800,000 people, including Indians, an expenditure which no one worthy of the name of Canadian for one moment regrets, and yet we hesitate now to accept over 200*000 of our own kindred of equal value as citir/ms, because they had the intelligence io go to work ami construct, at one half the cx'j;rn f: word 1 bivc cost us, the necessary railwaÿ ftfc/littes f een declared for the current half-year, and that the same will bo payable at its Banking Hou*, in this city, and at its Branches, on and after JATURDA.Y, the FIRST day of JUNE next.The Transfer Books will be closed from the 17tb to the 31st of May next, both days inclusive.0 The Annual Gwxeral Meeting o# the Shareholders will be held at tbe Banking House, on SATURDAY, the FIFTEENTH day of JUNE nexri The chair to be taken at Twelve o\u2019clock.By order of tbe Board.E.E.WEBB.General Manager.Quebec, April 23rd, 1895.April.24, 1895, THE NEW YORK HERALD, AMERICA'S FOREMOST NEWSPAPER.PA.TT.aTg~ rib STT3WT3ALTT* A Magazine For 5 Cents.THE SUIs DAY HERALD inereares in beauty and value with every issue.It is a veritable MAGAZINE of contemporaneous LITERATURE of the best class from tho pens of Famous FOREIGN and AMERICAN AUTHORS.It contains each week a SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT of Handsome Pictures in Colors, Halk-Tone and Black and Write.$2 a year.THE DAILY HERALD contains all the news of the world gathered by its own correspondents and reporters and forwarded by unequalled cable and telegraphic tacil.ties.$8 a year.Address THE HERALD, H«.rald Square, New York.April 29, 1S95.W.Sharpe, builder and contractor or Masonry, Bricklayingr PLAIN AND ORNAMENTAL PLASTERING.\u2014\u2014 ALSO \u2014 3ement and Tile Flooring, \u2022 Centre Flowers, &c.Jobbing Promptly Attended To.\u2019 OFFICE AND YARD : 16i De Verennes Street, Quebec» TELEPHONE 958 April 25, 1895.\tAm COOKING MADE EASY.Time, Labor and Money Saved by Uring a Gas Cooking Stove.No Soot, No Dirt.No Atbw No Overheated Kitch CABINET STOVE $10.The Quebec Gas Company have an assortment of tbe most approved Gas Cooking Stoves on exhibition and for sale at their office.Service Pipes t nd Meters furnished free of charge.Gas supplied for cooking by special meter at $1.25 per 1,000 feet.Apri 22.1695\tJnnelO-Lm The Birkbeck Investment Security & Savings Co.Resident Board\u2014City of Quebec.V.P.Chateauvc-rt, Esq , M.P.P., Chairman.T.H.Dunn, l<>q.\tJohn T.Ross,Esq Rodolphe Audette, Efq.A.F.Hunt, Esq.Solicitors\u2014Me*.sr?>.Caron.Pentlandft Stuart.Notary\u2014E.G.Meredith, Esq.F.Holloway, Secretary-Treasurer, 105 St.Peter Street.Why Pay House Rent ?\u2014Own Your Own !\u2014Stop Paying Rent !

of Lady Barter all the wealth of her well-trained art.The partis that ot a modish woman in London, having for her admirers representatives of tl.o Church, the Army and the State.The prototype of Lady Barter is now a well know n resident of Mayfair, London.In fact all the characters are types of the present society in Knglaml, and are easily recognized.Th plot revolves around Lady Barter, Col.Pearce, a steady grizzled veteran of many buttles, played by Mr.C oghlan, and Lord Brent, a young nobleman, played by Mr.Sullivan.Lady Barter, whose maiden name was Nellie Marshall, met, loved and married Sir Henry Barter, K.C.B.He died seven months after the wedding, leaving Lady Barter almost penniless.She, meeting Lord Brent, is determined to wed him, and has laid her plans to that effect, when Col.Pearce, an old friend of Lord Brent, arrives upon the scene, fresh from the Soudan, where he has been in the Egyptian campaign.1 here he had nursed and buried a comrade, Hugh Charlton, who, giving him ou his death bed some trinkets, letters, etc., bade him to deliver them personally to a faithless sweetheart, living in Scawfells, Cumberland.After a vainless search, Pearce finally locates her in London, and is amazed to find the object of his search in Lady Barter.It is the conflict betw een those two that forms the main theme of the play.Lady Barter is determined to win Brent ; Pearce is equally determined to foil her.The display of wit and ingenuity is said to be marvelously fine and \u201ceffectively dramatic.\u201d The plot likewise introduces Archdeacon Short, a Ritualistic Canon of the Church, Geneial Peters, a veteran, Mary Brent, a yonng ingenue in love with Col.Pearce, aud two pert and amusing servants The role of Lady Barter affords Miss Coghlan splendid opportunities for costuming, and her dresses are marvels of th?modiste\u2019s art.In addition to \u201cEnemies,\u201d Charles Reade\u2019s play of \u201cNance Oldfield\u201d will be given, which gives Miss Coghlan a \u2018capital chance to show her ability as a comedienne.A great company is in support of the Coghlans, and a splendid performance may be expected.MRS ASQUITH WILL LIVE.THE WIFE OF

large funerals iu town yesterday afternoon.That of Mr.Auguste Journal, late chef ol the Chateau Frontenac, left his late residanre on Conroy street for the Basilica, followed by a '\u2022aty large number indeed of fricn-ls and acquaintances, amongst whom wa noticed the members of the French Benevolent Society, wh ch turned out in very full force to do honor to the nvonory of their lato compatriot.A feature of this funeral was the largo number of very beautiful floral offerings, including one from the Hotel Dieu that was much admired and several from the employes of the various department* of the hotel- The pria* Bicycle leggings, gajters, boots and shoes of special design are shown in the shoe stores and department stores in great variety.Tfie fashionable makers of custom shoes find an incidental boom in tfieir busimss directly connected with the bicycle craze, and some of their finest anti uostliest work is in the line of laced or buttoned leggiigs and boots of extra length in the legs.A Sixth avenue dealer ip boots and shoes has issued an illustrated catalogue devoted entirely to ladies\u2019 aud\u2019gentlemen's bicycle footwear.Designer in shoe faotorir* are racking their brains fur new ideas in leggii gs and boots.The latter come in all shades of russet and tan.They are made with an extra long top, reaching to the centre of the calf, They come in laces, and differ only from the ladies\u2019 hunting boot, or boot for inouut-iiu wear, in that for bicycle use the sole must be single, thin and flexible.Comfortable as such a boot is, it is in no such favor among the fair cyclers as leggings worn with approved bicycle shoes.The latter come in two styles, Oxford ties and plain front lace reaching just above the ankle The soles are thin and the heel is low and fiat.Tiie Oxford ties are made up in don gola, patent leather, tans, russet calf and canvas.The regulation bicycle shoe, laced to support tjje ankle, is made iu dongola.culf and canvas.Rubber or leather soles are optional, but rubber is no longer considered the proper thing.The rat-trap pedals make the rubber soles unnecessary.The legging is necessity with either style of these shoes, and it is in their oonstruution th^t the designers of footwear have given to thu trade their best efforts.One window shows over sixty styles leggings They are made up to button and to lace and to Loo with button effect, and comprise ooze calf in the undressed or suede style and\tin all the rich tan tints, russet, white, red and brown Russia calf ; enamelled calf in black, red and russet ; dougola kid, kangaroo kid, corduroy in gray, black, blue and purple ; canvas in a variety of shades and heavy cloth specially woven fur this purpose iu every color lik\u201cly to be worn in the construction of bicycling costumes.Blues ami grays predominate, an it is possible to match any of the prevailing shades of outing cloth in any of the big retail stores.Tan leggings are, however, supposed to g well with any costume.Leggings readi made range in value from $2 to $7.A woman of the Michaux Ciub, who in deference to her high social position must have everything made to order, pays from $13 to $23 for her leggings.The laced pattern worn by the ladies of the Lyceum company during the long run of \u201cThe Amazons\u201d is much a fected.They are made of either ooze calf or russet leather, of rasset color velvety- and rich in appearance, and must tit like a glove from ankle to knee.To do this and not interfere with the free motion of the limb is a triumph of the cordwaintr\u2019s art.The greatest care must be taken in the cutting out of leggings of this class A slight mistake iu measurement or cutting will ruin them iu the eyes of the fastidious costumer That is why he charges $25.Men are not overgiven to wearing leggings as part of a bicycle costume, preferring to show their manly limbs through the medium of pl«id golf stockings.The bicycle legging for men u a simple affair, closely resembling the riding legging in appearance.The bicycle legging, however, is not held to live limb by a strap under the foot, but rests lightly on the top of the foot.They are j-pally intended as a protection iu long jour nay», çp,d in the stores are shown only in corduroy, canvas aud leather.The low quarter dongola kid or canvas shoo of Oxfor tie pattern, with an especially stout fiat heel and with a leather sole, is the correct thing in men s bicycle shoes.\u201cThere was nothing magnetic in him» nothing to arouse the enthusiasm, or any thing to give an idea of superabundant energy, vitality or force.When the Parnell trial came on Mr.Parnell retained Sir Charles Russell as his counsel, with Mr.Asquith as his junior \u2018He made his mark by what appears to be the merest accident.The London lime* had puf forward Mr.Soames as their first witness Sir Charles Russell had cross examined him at some length and to little purpose.Mr.Soames knew comparatively little about the forged letters, and Sir Charles got little out f him.The court adjourned for lunch, and when Russell aud his junior were taking a hasty meal Sir Charles staggered Mr.Asquith by calmly informing liim that he had better cross examine the next witness.Now, the next witness was no other than Mr.Macdonald, manager of the Tim1*.But lids is most absurd,\u2019 said Mr.Asquith to his leader.\u2018He is one of the most important witnesses in the case, aud of course you will cross-examine him yourself.' \u2018No,\u2019 sai4 Sir Charles Russell ; \u20181 anWired, aud you will do it well enough.\u2019 Mr.Macdonald was supposed to be a shrewd, intelligent Scotchman, who would prove to be more than a match for the ablest cross examiner.There was absolutely no material for cross-examination.When Mr.Asquith arose to put his first question to him he was about at his wit\u2019s end.By some good luck he put a question to Mr.Macdonald, which that gentleman answered in a supremely silly fashion.The answer was a revela-lion to Mr.Atquith, and he at once saw that he could play his fish w ith good result.He did so, and all the world knows with wh it result.His cross-examination was one of the mp$t bri)liant displays of skill that the com mission had witnessed.It is hardly too much to say that when he sat down Mr.Asquith had succeeded in making a deadly rent-in the case of the Tirntn, aud, at the same time, bad established his own reputation.From that moment he never turned back.It was, William Watson s Poems.Siuce William Watson\u2019s poem on the death of Lord Tennyson, his name has been promi ncutly before the public as the most promis ing of the younger English poets.Previously to that his poem on \u201cWordsworth\u2019s Grave had called forth commendation from several critics.When his health gave way, and he was compelled to give up all writing and study, great sympathy was felt for him, and many rejoiced to hear of his recovery.His \u201cOdes and Other Poems,\u201d though containing no poem of great merit, fairly sustains the re pulatiou he had previously won.He has one mark of a true poet, viz., that he expresses hjs thoughts ia a style of his own, which frequently felicitous.These poems have the genuine lyrical ring, buf.are too fragmentary to affurd evidence of the sustaiuud strength of wing, which could be taken as an earnest of a future great poetical woik.Here is a frag ment entitled, SOrEKKfGN POET.He sits above the clang and dust of Time With the world's secret trembling on bis lip He asks not converse nor compimonship In the co|d starlight where thou canst not clip.b.7 he undelivered tidir gs in his breast Suffer him not to rest, He sees afar the immemorable throng.And binds the scattered ages with u song.The glorious riddle of his rhythmic breath His might, his spell, vc liUov/ got what they be ; We only feel, whate\u2019er lie u\u2019.tereth, This savours not of death.This hath a relish of eternity.The lirgeot lobster in the world, stuffed, varnished ami inserted in an elegain glasa case, now belongs to W.J.Kildull, steward of the St.Nicholas Until in Boston, who expects to realize a large fortune by placing the creature on exhibition.Mr.KildufT is think ing of capitalizing this lobster in the form of a stock company.He has made a rough calculation that there ate 70,(MX),000 people in the United States eager to witness his lobster and pay one cent each for the privilege, and this, Mr.Kilduff figures, would bring in $700,000 to the com- fiany, while the expunse of transporting the ohster iu its gl ass case would be small.But with proper advertising Mr.Kilduff thinks that these people would be willing to pay 10 cents each to see the lobster, thus bringing the profits up to $7,000,0JO.He says he has been \u201capproached\u201d with many flattering offers from dime museum men.The lobster which has thus had greatness thrust upon it \u201cbelongs,\u201d says Mr.Kilduff, \u201cto the male gender.\" He was caught at 1\u2019rinoeton, Mast., in August of last year and turned over to a taxidermist for permanent preservation.When captured the lobster weighed from thirty five to forty pounds.He measured 40 inches iu length when ttraightened out, and is now from 23 to 25 inches wide w hen mea sured from tip to tip like a bird.The right claw is 15 inches long and 1H inches in circumference on the large end.Mounted in a stained w hite ash case, the lobster is,'says its proud owner, most beauli ful to look upon, \u201cclean and w holesome, pleasing to the eye and well worth 50 cents or a dollar of any man\u2019s money to see.\u201d The lobster, he says, was alive when captured.See that EVERY YARD of the LINING has THIS LABEL on it.NEW and IDEAL

and if such oblation is worthy of observation, and can obtain consideration, it will bean nggran-dizaticn beyond all calculation of the j iy and exultation of yours, \u201cSans Dissimulation.\u201d The following is the still more curious answer :\u2014 Sir : I perused your oration with much deliberation at the great infatuation of your imagination to show such veneration on so slight a foundation.But after examination and muph seiious contemplation, I supposed yor.r animitimi was the fruit of recreation, or bad sprung from osteutation to display your education by an odd enumeration, or rather multiplication, of words of the same termina» lion, though of great variation in each respective signification.Now, without disputation, your laborious application iu so tedious an occupation deserves commendation, aud thinking imitation a sufficient gratification, I am, without hesitation yours, \u201cMary Moderation.\u201d Call, Make Comparisons and Draw Your Duo Conclusions.H.S.SCOTT & 00., AGENTS.April 5, 1895.\tTELEPHONE 133.\tm,w&fri-Dm Warwick Bicycles \u201cARE OUT OF SIGHT.\" \u2014brownies.Hundreds of Remnants of Tweed and Serge Suitings ami Trouserings to be cleared at Special Prices at S Uarslcy\u2019s Montreal.Qn May Day several new magazines made their appearance in London.Besides Chap, man's Magazine ami the Twentieth Century, anew illustrated and high-clus-ed monthly in the interests of the members of literary socie as lie saii| modestly, the iqerest accident of an I tje8j local parliaments, qnd such like, appear-accident.\u2019\tI ed under the title of the \u201cLiterary and De- \"Two soils with bqt a single thought Two hcar.ts which beat as one/\u2019 I wed for money\u2014so did she.And each of us had noue.Remnants in all departments at S, Cars ey\u2019s, Montreal, marktd at Special Prices for he Great Remnant $»lc.WINNING TIIK Bill UK.Such was Mr.Henry Asquith when he first was in a position to woo Miss Margot Tennant.He had been a widower a year or niore.Shu was the most brilliant and charming figure in London society.8he had resisted so many titled suitors tnat it was said she would never love any man well enough to marry him.Of all the women of our time Margot Tennant, if any one, well doserved the title of \u201cNew Woman,\u201d although she was innocent of any mLsiou, and wa* not known to have identified herself with any depirt-ment of woman\u2019s work.But she was one of the most novel and most won.auly of all the new women of our time.Her supreme characteristic was an extreme vitality.Every square inch of her petite and piquant figure was instinct with life.For Margot Tennant was vibrant with throbbing vitality.The whirl, the rush, the fever of this electric age possessed her whole being But she had nerves strong enough to stand its strain and enj<>y its glow.Born in an atlluent household, the spoiled child of a large family, bright, intelligent and fair to look upon,the young girl found for her all doors open and nothing tabooed.Nature, society and the world offered to her lips a chalice of the sweetest u'ine, but although she quaffed deeply, she never drained the fatal goblet to the dregs.pi VgRNON REDiyiVA.It was imposeih\u2019.e not to be charme l by this gay and artless and perfectly qaitiral girl, flitting to and fro, fearless »s a fawn, artless us a child, and yet fascinating as a woman.She was interested iu every subject, and talked vivaciously on every theme that might interest lier companion.Grave statesmen unbent in the radiance of her presence and sunned themselves in her smile; gray-beards found a new delight in the vivacity of her chatter.But although the despair of the decorous, Mrs.Grundy herself could not throw the faintest shadow upon her good name.Athough it would bo absurd to say of her, living in tho midst of the whirl and bustle ot London ¦ootely, \u201cthat she moved in maiden meditation fancy free,\u201d for meditation was one of the few things in which she did not excel, sho contrived to dance along the gilded corridors of her pleasant youth without becoming entangled in any great affair of the heart.She was indeed a signal example of the immense possibilities in human intercourse when woman are free, frank and intel ligent, and able either by their position or by their character to command the respect of the men whom they favor with their friendship.NOT AN EIMIEMKRIS.Such was the Hgure\u2014unique yet typical, lavishly gifted with grace beyond her fair measure, trained from her childhood to live freely and openly in the midst of the best society England p issosses\u2014that flitted like a fairy before the eyes of Henry Asquith, just as he was setiicg his foot on the' first rung of the ladder which he was des lined so soon and so rapidly »o ascend.The quest seemed lufficiently hopeless to have daunted any buta man iu love.Mr.Asquith was neither prince nor peer.He was a man of moderate means, and there was nothing about bis person or career that was calculated to captivate the imagination of the girl before whom lovers with every qualification which he lacked had knelt iu vain.Mr.Asquitli was no doubt a rising man, but he wa* not rich.He had uot won any of the great prizes of the bar.Above all, he was already furnished with a family of five.And although society had accustomed itself to seeing Margot Tennant in almost every con-ceiVeahle attitude or position pos-ible to mortal, imagination recoiled from seeing this Furnella l)i Vernon of our day suddenly transformed into a blushing matron, with five step children round her knee.Few enterprises, therefore, appeared more hopeless than the task to which, after his wife\u2019s death, Mr, Asquith devote 1 all the sirength of bis will, pursuing the quest with all the concentrated passion of a strongly repie>sed nature aud ultimately triumphing, to the astonishment and dismay of all his rivals.TICK QUEST PERILOUS.When fiioi Mr.Asquith broached his suit she would hear nothing of it.\u201cfriends, yes, by all means ; husband aud wife, nonsense.\u201d Aud so she gaily laughed away his serious suit.But he was not to be gainsaid.Soberly and seriously he pleaded his cause, daunted by no rebuff, but condescending to no artifice or stratagem, not even to thosp which have always been regarded as the legitimate ta.-tics of those who woo fair ladies.Perhaps it was the very plainness and simplicity of his suit that was the secret of bis success.Misa Margot, accustomed from her earliest teens to the tt tilery and homage and devotion of men, was like a child surfeited with cake to whom plain brown bread gradually acquires an iriet-islible fascination.The more she shrank from the thought of becoming Mrs.Asquith, the more did the solid, simple, serious virtue* of Mr.Asquith impress her imagination.When he was rebuffed be began again humbly aud persistently as ever.It was presumption, pp doubt, but love Wits sufficient excuse.At last a cciibr ui tho superiority of the man who so patiently sued for her hand began to dawn upon fier mind.There is little doubt lljil tlit match when it came off, was a genuine affair of the heart.tinder the title of the \u201cLiterary bating Societies\u2019 Review.\u201d Another new magazine was the \u201c Looking Glass Magazine of Fiction,\u2019 the first number of w hich consisted of a story by Miss Annie Thomas, entitled \u2018'Blue Ejyes/\u2019 S No Other Medicine 80 THOROUGH At AYER\u2019S Sarsa» parBla Statement of a Well Known Doctor \u201cNo other blood medlclno that I have ever used, and I have tried them all.Is so thorough In its action, and effects so many permanent cures as Ayer\u2019s Sarsaparilla.\u201d\u2014 Dr.il.F.Merrill, Augusta, Me., Ayer\u2019s og Sarsaparilla « Admitted at the World\u2019s Fair.} Ayer\u2019ë Pilla for liver and boirait, June 7, 1894.(ft IVn from indigestion, dyspepsia, and too hearty eating, is relieved at once by taking on* of Carter\u2019s Little Live!
