Laval is handicapped very severely by the loss of thousands of dollars which the Church avthorities bave received, but have not handed over to the Financial Bourd of the University.The question has seen asked, and the questioners say they sre determined to get an answer, \u201cWhere has this money gone to 2\u201d One source of income for the past seven vears consisted of a certain sum out of the amount paid by the feithful for masses for the dead.A juss for the soul of a departed friend or relative costs twenty-hve cents.This sum is paid in to the church, and, of course, forms no ino:nsiderable portion of its revenues.The number of masses asked for and paid for in Canada, however, is greatly in excess vi th: number which, according to ecclesiastical rules, can bs said by the clergy of the country.Each priest can only say One ma°5 à day.The difficulty is got aver by sending masses to other countries to be said, so that to-day clergy of the Roman Catholic Church in Egypt, in Palestine, all aver the world, in fact, are saying mass for the repose of the souls of som:2 of the faithful who have died in Canada.These masses only cost fifteen cents, leaving tem cents per muss in the hands of the Bishops h:r.Seven years ago Leo XII promulgated a Bull in whichÿhe ordered that of this sum of ter cents, amounting to $12,000 a year, more or less, half should go io Laval University, Quebec, wd half to tha Montreal branch of the University.\"This $12,000 lies in ths hands of the bishops of the ecclesiastical province of Montreal, where it is collected, and shout $6000 is avpposed to be paid over to the Financial Syndicate of Laval in this city.Since the Bull was issued by the Pope it is reasonable to suppose that some $40,000, exclusive of interest, has accrued to the credit of the University of which they have not seen, in the words of a professor, \u201ca red cent,\u201d nor has say account been rendered.the Jesuits\u2019 estates.It is stated that §15,- 000

HOLTON, President.ROBT.MACKAY, Vice-President.E.G.O'CONNOR, Sec.Treasurer.en MONTREAL, FEBRUARY 17.A STUFFED STATESMAN.It is possible that in preparing the address which he delivered to the bald young Conservatives of Ottawa the other evening, Sir John Thompson determined to couch his deliverance in such terms as wouid suit the tender years of his hear ers.However that may have been, it is a fact that the prevailing tone of his speech was one of a petulance almost boyish, and it has since been remarked as something more than a mere coincidence that in all of his 1ecent public utterances Sir John has developed no faculty more strongly than that of losing his head.This is a pity.His first appearance at Ottawa was of such a promising nature as to warrant the belief that Sir John Macdonald had made no great mistake in calling him up from the comparative ob- sourity of the bench of Nova Scotia.And the train cf remarkable circumstances which carried him at unprecedented speed from a Provincial judgeship to the Pren:iership of the Dominion has nit been able to hide those talents of which his supporters never tire of boast- ug.But from the beginning of his leadership it has been evident that his temper has rot been proof against the wear and tear of removal from the calm of an atmosphere ontirely judicial.As Minister of Justiee he was a cunning attorney for the defence, a sounding if somewhat ponderous pleader.But as Premier and leader of the Conservative party he appears to be a bad tactician.His oratory, which was to have done so much in the way of carrying conviction to the rainds of plain business men seems to have fallen off.Instead of setting an example to his followers in Parliament, he seems to have adopted several of their wors$ characteristics.Ie has developed the pomposity without the bluff good nature of a Cockburn ; the scolding power of a Bowell, and the impudenrce of a Tupper, while he has not iost the brilliant verbosity of a Mon- vague.- So much for the alternately ilinatured and painfully jocular manner of his several references to the Liberal leaders the other night.When he approached the matter in which alone the people are especially interested at present, he went nearcr to telling the whole truth than any member of his ministry had done since the taking of the tariff reform pledge a yesr before.That pledge has been for a year the last arrow in the Conservative quiver.The Liberals have been on record.They have declared that in that unnatural war which the Conservatives have precipitated between the manufacturer and the consumer they will side with the consumer.They have declared for such a measure of tariff reform ss shall remove from the consumer\u2019s back ail bus his just proportion of the burden of taxation.They have declared against the maintenance of any portion of the taxing privilege which the manufacturer now enjoys.They have declared for the levying of taxes for revenue alone.And this policy, clearly defined aud energ=ticaily preached in all parts of the country, seems to be accepted Ly great majority of to it has been opposed the Govermacent pledge of tariff reform and the argument that inasmuch as the Government would give the people as full a measure of relief as the Liberals could give, the party in power should continue to enjoy the popular preference.To the man who was carcless ot that loss of his libertics which wag involved the in the slightest recognition of the protective principle, this argument was not without weight.But the found it hard all along to hold themselves down.They bursting with the importance of their secret understanding with the turers, and in the gemerons warmth of after dinner confidences or when surrounded by the beneficiaries of the protective system they would hint slily or boldly, as circumstances directed, that their pledge would make no diffor- enee to the manufaccurer.Sternly rebuked by popular sentiment they have been wont to rucant in the cold light of morning.to keep the country guessing.Even now Sir John Thompson's utter- auce seoms ambiguous cncough.He still talks of \u201c\u2018vrotectivg the Canadian workman in preference to the workingman of any other country,\u201d whatever that may mean in light of the past operations of the National Policy.And he talks of ofect- ing such changes in the tariff as the changing conditivns of the country have demanded.And he still pleads with the people, in such vague terms as the figures of the prosperity vi the guild demand, that they should continue to pity the Were manufac- And so they have managed the people.But.ministers ! poor old infant industries.Bus the significances of his deliverance is found in the fact that this is probably his last public utterance before the session of Parliament, and that as such it has been interpreted by the Government press as a declaration that the privileges of the manufacturers shall not be disturbed.This must finally dispose of the argument that in the next general elections the two parties will face the country on the same platform.It is a pity.At Sir John Thompson's entry to public life he gave a very fair imitation of statesmanship.In this first great public crisis through which he has been called to pilot the country, the promise of his beginninys in federal politics might easily have led the people to look for move honest, intelligent aud grateful usage at the hands of a inan upon whom they had heapcd remarkable distinction.But the Lope was + vain one.Daily it becomes more sbundantly evident thas Sir John Thompsen represents nobody but himself.He isnot a popular leader in the present sensible acceptation of that term.His ponderous attempts to take the people into his confldence serve only to aggravate this alienation.\u2018The cir- cimnstance of popular discussion of political matters, of which he himself secs to be diwly conscious, demands a fuller measure of sympathy than he will ever be able to extend to the people, and the oftener he attempts to break his gelid reserve the further does he separate himself from the popular confidence.And he does not fail with the masses alone.His personality, his peculiarly exclusive, perhaps cautious, cast of mind has not enabled him to win the affections of a party trained in the school of the amiable political brigand whose mantle he assays to wear.And even for the protected manufacturer he is playing a bad game.The continued success of that compact threugh which both Government and manufacturer have profited in the past depends largely upon the complacence of the people.This is a free country and when its people awake to the opinion that they have had enough of protection so.they will say If they can be induced to support the Government at all, the determination of the Government to stand by the manufacturers must be disguised.The manufacturer cannot hope to maintain his privileges unless they be skilfully concealed from the people, and if he is at all shrewd he will not rejoice in Sir John Thompson\u2019s plucky little declaration that \u2018¢ popular or unpopular\u201d the poiicy of protection will be maintained.The Ottawa speech was cast in a small mould.It will certainly fail to please the country.It cannot fail to distress the Conservative party.It will not even please the Liberals, since their satisfuc- tion in the exposure of the actual significance of the Conservative policy must be tinged with regret in the spectacle of the failure of a man of great political pro- misa.THE DUTY ON CCTION FABRICS.One of the most intricate of the tariff schedules is that dealing with cotton goods.The duties are chiefly a mixture of ad valorem and specific, the latter rate being imposed on the square yard in the case of cloths and on the pound in hosi- ory.In this schedule the specific duties are there for a specific purpose indeed; to make impossible the importation of Though there is still a large amount of cotton fabrics unport- ed, with duties exceeding dollars per year, up of either not or are manufactured under conditions enabling outside competition.But the home mantfacturers-\u2014among whom there is no competition\u2014-are shiclded from competition in the clhicaper grades by specitic duties ranging from 50 to 80 per cent- In no otlier respect do the specific duties discriminate so grossly against the poor as in the cotton schedule.Take cheese-cloth, forinstance.T'his is the cheapest cloth wade, and is very cheap clothing.million it is mostly made grades, manufactured a Ligher which are here It costs in Greut Britain 13c per 1b.; the duty on it is 1c per Ib., and 13 per cent ad valorem, making an aggregate duty in excess of 80 per cent.There is a duty of 1 per cent per square yard and 15 per cent on largely consumed in Canada.Lleaclied and unbleached sheetings, dritls-ducics, cotton flannels ete.; and a calculation shows that on cer- tan cheap cloths covered by this rate, the duty is 65 per cent,, while on others of better value it is only 20 per cent, À Canadian prices shows that the fuil advantage of the protection is taken.To ali kinds of cotton goods on which there is a speeitie duty, this excessive diserimii- nation applics.The specific duty is most incenious.It gives a degree of protection to manufacturers which expressed bluntly in ad valorom figures would appall even Tory M.P.'s; and it adjust itself beautifully to the fluctuations of prices.As they go down it goes up in equal pre.portion, so that the tendency is for the protection to increase as time goes on.comparison of English and With an ad valorem rate, à cut in prices means, of course, iess protection.The cotton schedule may be changed slightly this session, the manufacturers having \u201cconsented\u201d to some slight amendments.Slight mnendments won\u2019t go, as both government and manufacturers will find out when they submit their bogus reforms to the scrutiny of the The first change that should be made in the cotten duties is the complete abolition of the specific duties.The duties should be open, clear and above board, bearing equally on rich and poor, the best and the poorest quality of cluth.Ifitis granted that the duties should be purely ad valorem, what rate should be struck ?On printed or dyed public.MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1894 cotton fabrics the present duty is an ad valorem one of 323 per cent, but this is much too high.It is a fact too little known that in 1879 the directors of une of the two largest cotton mills m Canada, though divided politically, agreed unanimously to recommend to Sir John Macdonald the fixing of a uniform duty of 20 per cent ad valorem on all cotton fabrics.They would have been satisfied with that rate then and the presumption is that it would be suflicient to-day.Another fact, not so widely known as it should be, is tliat when Mv, Mackenzie raised the duty on cotton goods from 15 per cent.to 17% per cent.for revenue consideraticus, he was denounced by the Conservative organs and particularly by The Gazette.Our contemporary which, in these evil days, hus become a phonograph grinding out the apologies of the combinesters, was then mightily perturbed at this undue protection at the expense of the pec- ple.It held then that if an industry could not establish itself behind the margin of profit allowed by a fifteen per cent, duty it was not worth having.Our contemporary, no doubt, has had numerous reasons for changing its views on this matter, but undoubtedly it was nearer right twenty years ago than it is to-day.It is, of course, impossible to say without minute investigation into all the fucts what should be the right duty on any article, but 20 per cent is an approximate estimate of what it ought to be on cottons.It is quite high enough.WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW.This week has seen a further decline in silver, which it was thought had reached rock bottom last week.The decline was probably caused by the statement of the English Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the House of Commons, that the Indian mints would not be re-opened for the free coinage of silver, and also that a minimum price would not be maintained on Council bills.It is thought, however, that this straightforward statement of the Government's policy, may eventually help the market.Mr.FE.O.Leech, ex-director of the U.S.Mint speaking of this, is reported as saying : \u201cThe developments in silver have been such as to induce everyone, who thought he knew something about it, to reconsider his opinion.Nevertheless, I venture to believe that the end of the fall is not yet.The fact is, that in no country except the United States is there as yet any signs of materially decreased production.Australia and Mexico certainly show no decrease, nor is South America turning out less.The decision of the India Office not to reopen the mints, and not to fix a minimum rate on Council bills, cannot fail to have au injurious effect on silver, as it permits exchange to compete as vigorously with silver as in the old days, with silver at a great disadvantage.\u201d The decision of the India Office is a severe blow to the bi-metallists, who cherish the hope that a double standard may again be adopted.The gold production of the world is increasing, in fact the mint authorities estimate that last year it exceeded §150,000,000.The United States production, it is thought reached S57,000,000 as against $33,000,000 in 1892, Colorado alone has increased its production from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000.The South African gold supply is a new addition, and now amounts to between $3,000,000 Australia also affords a new supply amounting to half à million pounds sterling per India, Western Australia and South Africa make at least 6} millions sterling of new supply since annum.1835.In the face of these (figures showing a steadily increasing production, the chances for the rehabilitation of silver as a standard of coinage are daily becoming more faint.In the London market on Thursday | Indian Exchange is only about 153d, the worst tate yet touched.Bar silver was | vas down gd to 29d.The Bank of England rate of discount is unchanged.week £525,000, and the reserve increased £835,000 of which £311,100 were in gold.The reserve is now more than £21,250,- 0600, the proportion of reserve to liability being 59.08 per cent, against 58.88 per cent last week and 51.18 per cent last year.This is a very strong return, and the market grumbles because there is no reduction in the official rate of discount.The local market was quiet during the Money continues easy.on call, but husiness on the stock exchanges is still very much deprossed.The preliminary annual report of the Canadian Pacific Railway Co.has heen issued, and shows gross earnings for 1893 of $20,962,200, a decrease from 1892 of £447,000 ; and operating expenses $13,- 221,000, an increase of $232,000.Other income increased $1000, and charges increased 3231,000.After the payment of last year's dividend, the surplus remaining is ®8338,000, as compared with 82,222 000 in 1892, a decrease of $1,848,- $00.The balance of the 5 per cent, dividend was paid out a fund created and which is about exhausted.The company, however, has surplus.The road earned in 1893 about 4 per cent on the stock and paid a dividend of 5 jer cent.It is thought that the coming monthly bank statement will show a large shrinkage in the circulation of bank notes.This may be due in part to a falling off in business, which is reflected in another wack, of years ago, on hand considerable heavy decrease, shown in this week's A portion of the shrinkage, however, is due to the

Toronto the other night, Edward Gurney, the stove man, made a few remarks which are thus reported by three Toronto papers.Mr.Edward Gurney thought the Dominion tariff a patriotic one.There was no man so dangerous as the one who talked free trade per se, and has no change to offer.He was nothing more than an Anarchist.\u2014 Empire.Mr.E.Gurney referred to the danger from those men who were going about the country stumping on free trade.They suggested a change but could not say what they wanted.They were as dangerous as Anarchists.\u2014 Mail.Mr.Gurzoy said that a man who went out on the stump to advocate a change of policy that Lis no bottom to it was nothing more than an Anarchist, and the population would have to rise against Anarchism and hang the whele lot.\u2014Globe.Now, Mr.Gurney is a gentleman who must have his little joke.In private life he is a very sad wag, indeed.If he has one absorbing passion in life it is to be thought a humorist.Almost is it safe to say that he would sooner be as funny as Mark Twain than as great and wealthy an ironmaster as Andrew Carnegie.lt may be, then, that the utterance as reported, having lost, in transit from Lis lips to cold type, all that rich humor which he had imparted to it, does not fairly represent his personal opinion of free trade aud its apostles.The Hamilton Times, however, which ought to kuow the man, inclinds to a less charitable opinion.It says that Mr.Gurney\u2019s impudence is his most notable characteristic.It forgets to mention that he was born heir to a business already soundly established, but it does not forget to remind its readers that he was born a Liberal and \u2018\u2018deserted his party to line his pocket with other and better men\u2019s earnings.\u201d The Times also calls attention to the fact that Mr.Gurney owes much of his wealth to his determination to prevent his employees from sharing in his profits through the National Policy.This, by the way, is a fact which Canadian workingmen, who have frequently been called to sympathize with Mr.Gurney\u2019s moulders in the hardships to which the firm has subjected Jhem, will not be slow to appreciate.The Times asks its readers to compare Mr.Gurney with such men as Gladstone, Peel, Cob- den and Bright, Cleveland, Wilson, Wat- terson and George, Mackenzie, Mowat, Mills, Laurier, Cartwright and Davies, and concludes: \u2018It is a pity that Edward Gurney is tou big to be spanked.He needs that kind of argument, and it is the only kind he could appreciate.\u201d But is Mr.Gurney too big to be spanked ?In this case, chastisement of some sort is plainly necessary, and for a gentleman who, until the shady side of 50, has thus retained the exuberantly raw judgment of extreme youth, what punishinent could be better than a nice hard spanking ?Tue Moxerary Miurs is not favorably impressed with the provisions of the Insolvency bill, drafted by the Government, so far as they relate to the treatment of debtors by creditors.It says: \u201cThey read as if they were hard upen the unfortunate trader, and dispose us to look for some provisions to punish the peopio who force goods on him and encourage him to give them accommodation paper.\u201d Siz OÔLIVER MowWAT seems no more inclined to go than of old.À supporter of his was elected in South Lanark yesterday.If a Liberal was ever before i elected in South Lanark for anything, it was so long ago that none but the oldest inhabitants can remember it.Seven Alarms in Five Hours.The Fire Brigade was kept busy last evening, there being no less than seven alarms rung in inside of five hours.Oue of these was a false alarm, and the other six amonuted to very little damage.\u2018* Star of the East?Lodge Go Out.The Star of the Kast Temple, Templars of Temperance, held their annual drive last night.\u2018They went to Outremont, and at Municipal Hall gave a concert to a large audicuce.After the concert, which was a great success, sug per was served, and everything passed off well.They returned to the city at a reasonable hour, consistent with their temperance principles.The Macdonald Memorial.Mr.T.A.Williams, of London, England, arrived last evening and js registered at the Queen\u2019s Hotel.Mr.Williams is here in the interest of Mr.Geo.E, Wade, R.A, the eminent sculptor who has secured the Macdonald Memorial Commission for this city.He will superintend the erection of the Memorial which will be started on Monday next.The contract for the masonry has been awarded to a local firm and all the stone will be Canadian.Junior Electric Club.The Montreal Junior Electric Club held their regular meeting on Thursday night, at which a paper was read by Wim.FT.Sutton ou \u2018\u2018Telephones.\u201d A vote of thanks was tendered to Mr.Sutton for his paper.It was decided at this meetiug to hold all further meetings on the Monday night of each weck instead of Thursday.This change is to accommodate parties that were wishing to become members, but could not on account of having an engagement for that night.The club was intended for men who work in the electric line and also for young experimenters of which there are so many.The secretary is H.0.J.Overton, 19 Brunswick street.Peckham\u2019s Ncmination Defeated.WAsHINGTON, Feb.16.\u2014The nomination of Mr.Peckham, of New York, to be an Associate-Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States was defeated in the

in every primary school in Wales.Although the session drawing to its close was chiefly memorable for the passage, after eight months\u2019 struggle, of the Home Rule Bill through the Commons, yet Wales, equally with England, would look upon this year as a landmark owing to the passage of what was popularly called the Parish Councils Bill.Referring to the House of Lords, Mr.Ellis said he

was completed in November last, and was formaily opened for traflic on the first day of the present year.This gigantic engineering achievement was accomplished in the face of great opposition, and in spite of unexpected natural difliculties, in a comparatively short space of tlme.The corporation of Liverpool was in opposi- ton, and such railway lines as the London and Northwestern also fought against the enterprise.The present canal had its inception only about twelve years ago, but there was a scheme to do very much the sane thing seventy years ago.That died of ridicule.Another scheme twelve years later met a similar fate.In 1882 Mr.Daniel Adamson, a practical engineer and a man of great energy, cailed a meeting to consider the building of this ship canal.The time appeared to be then ripe for such an undertaking, for his proposition was received with great enthusiasm by the people of Manchester and South Lancashire.The opposition just alluded to Was so strong that it was not until 1885 that a bill was passed by Parliament incorporating the company and giving it the necessary privileges.The preliminary work up to this time, presumably most of it Parliamentary expenses, cost upwards of $1,750,000.Mr.E.Leader Williañns, the engineer, located the canal from Eastham, on the Mersey River,about six miles south of the Liverpool Docks, to Manchester, à distance of 354 miles.I'he minimum depth of the canal is 26 feet, and the minimuin bottom width is 120 feet, while the average width ut the water-level is 172 feet.There are five locks, beginning with a tidal lock at Eastham, which is 600 feet by 80 feet.The other four locks are each 600 feet by 65 feet.There are also four subsidiary locks, somewhat smaller than these.The Duke of Bridgewater built a canal to Manchester in 1759 and this was extended in 1773 farther down the Mersey to Runcorn.This canal, however, could only be used for flat-bottomed boats.This property had to be acquired by the new compauy, and as the $8,500,000 needed for the purchase was only obtained on the last available day, a serious embarrassment was narrowly escaped.At Barton, within a short distance of Manchester, the ship-canal goes beneath the Bridgewater Canal, the lutter being carried over by a steel aqueduct 235 feet long, 6 feet deep.and 19 feet wide.This aqeduct is also a kind of drawbridge, for it is not high enough to permit the passage of ships.When the canal was first'inspected, after being filled with water, the novel sight was witnessed of this drawbridge aqueduct being swung round filled with water, on which floated a barge.Lord Egerton of Tatton turned the first sod for the ship-canal in November, 1877, but the works were not actually begun until the following January.Previous to this there had been very great difficulty in obtaining the necessary capital.The engineers estimated thet the canal would cost $40,000,000.Efforts were maketo secure this immense sum from capitalists in London and Manchester at the same time.The promoters, with that inscrutable cleverness that is characteristic of such folk, attempted to play London against Manchester, and to make the capitalists of each place believe that those in the other were anxious to take all of the shares.This resulted in neither Manchester nor London doing anything considerable.When the foolishness of such a policy became manifest, an agreement was entered into, and the capitalists of Lancashire found half of the capital, and those of London the other half.Then work went on with great rapidity, notwithstanding the fact that great damage was dohe by the floods from the River Irwell.The costliness of the canal work, the expense of acquiring lands, and the outlay to change lines of railway were so great that it was soon apparent that the $40,000,000 capital was only a little more than half enough to complete the undertaking.At this juncture the corporacion of Manchester came to the rescue, and the $35,000,000 needed was supplied.It would not have been possible to complete these works in so short a time by manual labor alone, and so machinery was used as largely as possible.There were 100 steam-navvies employed, each machine doing the work of 2000 men.In addition, from 8000 to 17,000 men and boys were employed.In the soft cuttings and light alluvial soil and sand German and French land-dredgers were used.The French dredgers discharged the material from the top of the machine to the line of railway trucks outside, and the German or * Lubecker\u201d traversed over the lines of trucks, and filled them as it went on.In order to carry out the works it was necessary to construct 223 miles of railway, to use 173 locomotives, 245 steam-cranes, 212 pumping-engines, 6000 wagons, and a fleet of 11 dredgers and barges which carried out the \u2018\u2018spoil\u201d\u2019 to sea or up the Weaver to Northwich.These figures will give the reader a good idea of the immensity of the work.Here is also another illustration, as noted by Lord Egerton of Tatton in a recent article on the canal: \u201c\u201cIn the estuary, as obstacles were thrown both by the land-owners and the Mersey Conservancy to obtaining land for spoil, an artificial mound 100 feet high and three-quarters of a mile long was raised on land above the marshes, and which is a striking feature in the landscape.\u201d By act of Parliament the tolls of the canal, together with the wharfage at Manchester, cannot exceed one-half ef the rates of dock dues at Liverpool together with cartage and railroad charges from Liverpool to Manchester.The rates as adopted by the canal company are considerably less than the legal maximum, and it 1s expected that within a few years there will be diverted to Manchester an immense trafic.It is proposed during this year to permit all ships to use the canal free of tolls.The canal is sufficiently large for ships and steamers to pass each other safely.Here and there along the line where works are built for manufacturing purposes the canal will be widened out to allow for shipping lying alongside of wharves withous interfering with the passage of vessels up and down.The railroads running into Manchester are connecting their lines with the docks.The area of the Manchester and Salford docks is 114 acres, the area of quay space is 152 acres, and the length of the quays is 5} miles.The people in Manchester are firm in their faith that the completion of the canal marks a new era in the prosperity of that already rich and prosperous city.No Work for Work\u2019s Sake.Oi old it was said, \u2018li any man would net work neither should he eat.\u201d Men able to work, and willing to work, who could not find work, were not dreamed of.External nature is the same; the constitution of man has not changed.How, then, is it that we now hear, \u2018\u2018He who cannot find work shall be {fed by charity,\u201d These pseudo-philanthropists know the penalty of such an attempt to holdly annul the natural law that by his toil man shall be fed.By skimping the dole to what will just prevent actual starvation, and by the tests and inquiries and degrading conditions of organized charity, they try to draw the lines between those who cannot find work and, those who do not want to.But this line it is impossible to draw, for no such clear line exists.Organize charity as we may men who cannot, find work go hungry, and men who do not want to to work are converted into men unwilling to work.For willingness to work depends on what can be had by work, and what can be had without work, and the personal and social estimate of the relation.Work is in itself painful and repellent.No human being ever worked for the sake of working.| write this article that it may be published in The North American Review, and that I may get the pay for it, and communicate the thought to others.But the work of writing it is as irksome to me as sawing wood.So with all work.Jn a ruder stage men looked upon the necessity of work as the curse of an offended creator.We who may not see to what marvellous advances it has led, and recognize in it the motor of all human progress, may behold in it not a curse but a blessing.But its irksomeness remains, What keeps any of us at work ave our desires and hopes\u2014 our wants and our pride.Kill hope and lessen desire by crucifying the feeling of personal independence and accustoming your man to a life maintained by alms, and vou will make of the most industrious a tramp.For the law of our being is that we seek the gratification of our desires with the least exertion.\u2014 Henry George, in The North \"American Review.Reducing Vibration In Railway Cars.A new invention embodies a principle which will coramend itself to ali railway travelers.It is sought to lessen the discomfort and annoyance of travel on many lines on which there is excessive vibration by the construction of a pueumagc car \u2018\u2018which embraces the application of an elastic fluid as an absorbent for vibration and oscillation.\u201d\u201d An air cushion is arranged on the cellular principle between the car body and the truck frame, and as there is an equal distribution of air under varying pressures all oscillation is prevented.This elastic medium is said to completely absorb all vibration resulting from rough tracks, jointing of rails.excessive speed or any other cause, and the car is carried smoothly and steadily along.This pneumatic system can be equally well applied to street cars, and instances are not hard to find in which it mnquestionably should be.\u2014Exchange.Errss Cocoa \u2014GRATEFUL AND CMO FORTING.\u2014\u2018\u2018By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and

so, after going over a mile.I ventured on a peep, and found the herd had moved towards the swamp and were considerably nearer than I thought.The spruyt was about thirty feet wide, with a channel about four feet wide and from six to eight feet deep in the centre, worn by\u2019 the rains.Between this and the banks, which were about seven feet high, there was a wide space to walk, covered with reeds and high grass.I was plodding on when I heard a noise in the reeds behind me, and I thought it was my boy following with the horse, having mistaken my orders.I inwardly promised him \u201cpickles,\u201d and kept putting iny hand behind me to stop him ; but, the noise continuing, I turned around and saw a sight which instinctively brought me down on one knee, with the rifle to my shoulder and my heart in my mouth at the same time.There, within ten yards of me, stood the king of the desert.I had no time to think further than to realize the fact that a full-grown lion was close upon me.It is no use trying to describe my feelings\u2014I simply had none; neither fear, surprise nor any other.When I faced about he lay down and put his head between his paws, eyeing ne intently, and I him.I had now the bed of the spruyt on my left, the camp also being on that side.I knew I would have to fire, and glanced on one side to see how deep the channel was, involuntarily full-cocking the rifle at the same time.\u2018Whether it was having the human eye removed from him, or the click of the hammer coming to full cock, I know not; but on looking again I saw he meant mischief by the flicking of his tail and rising of his hind quarters.I drew the fore sight as fine as I could between his eyes, squeezing the trigger at the same time.A second before I fired he raised his head.At the report of my gun I heard, a smothered sob, or rather grunt, and, under cover of the smoke which hung, threw myself into the bed of the water-course, and ran like a man till I came to a place where I could climb out the other side.I loaded as quickly as I could, and it was a ticklish moment.as the reeds prevented me from seeing him.He was making a fearful row,and I did not know any moment but that he might be on me.I got out of the spruyt altogether, and saw the boy coming full tilt with all the dogs.All this time the lion was making a horrid din in the reeds, and I half hoped the heavy ball had crippled him.The dogs went into the reeds in a body, but, with the exception of Rebel, came out separately, each choosing a different peint point of the compass for his exit.Don and Jess never stopped, I heard, until they got under the wagon.Rebel kept baying him, and the other two dogs took heart of grace and went in again and between the lot a nice noise was raised.My friend now galloped up.Old \u2014 ce tés = - William had been watching the herd with the telescope to tell the boy when to start, also with an eye to the fleshpots depending on the shot; and when he saw the smoke rise in the reeds, a long way from the game, sung out: \u201cThe baas has fired in the spruyt; it is a lion!\u201d Luckily my friend thought it strange, and turned out.Itoldmy boy to get back, but, like all his nation, he was a sportsman at heart, and begged to be allowed to stay and see the fun cut.As the dogs kept baying in one place we concluded the lion was crippled, so we decided on the rather risky course of both going in to give him the coup de grace, and left the boy with the horses.The uproar that was going on was a caution, and on going in we found the lion only able to use his front paws\u2014but how efficiently a rent in Rebcl\u2019s side showed.On the dogs seeing us they rushed in with fresh vigor, and it was some little time before I could tire, W.standing by to cover me.When I did he wade a spasmodic effort and rolled over into the gully on his back stone dead, with a bullet in his head.The rest of the boys had come up, and cautiously approached to have a look, with the exception of Willem, who stood at a respectful distance, protesting against any one going uear for half an hour, and spinning a yarn about a lion seemingly dead springing up and killing two men.My first shot had entered just under the lower jaw, when the lion raised his head, regularly raking him, and touching his spine near the kidneys.Had he not been thus cripled none of the dogs would have got off as they did, if no worse damage had been done.He was a full-grown male, in splendid condition, with a mane as black as night and teeth and claws very suggestive of sudden death.We concluded he had been stalking the same herd I was after, and followed me out of curiosity more than anything else, he could have wiped me out with a stroke of his paw when I passed him, as I mast have done, and at a closer distance than I like to think of.T forgot to say that he had either sprung.at the smoke or been in the act of springing when [I fired ; more probably the latter, from the direction the ball took, as the marks of his paws and blood \u2014in fact, where I killed him\u2014were close to were I was when 1 fired the first shot We went back to the wagons to doctor Rebel and left the boys to get the lion out of the spruyt and to take his skin off.When I came to sit down, after fixing up Rebel\u2019s wound, I found myself perfectly unstrung, and was seized with a strong desire to cry and to run about shouting.: my adventure in my diary, but failed signally, and this is the first time I have written my adventure in full, aud 1 find it almost as difficult a job as the actual fact, and a much longer one, to boot.EDWARD EFFINGHAM, ONYCHOMANCY.Folk Lore Traditions and Superstitions About the Finger Nails, [Written for The Herald} \u201cThere is nothing new under the sun,\u201d is a truism upon which often denotes a certain amount of \u2018\u2018getting-dried-upness, \u201d on the part of the writer, still when one hears of a man who saw a flight of balloons on a slab unearthed in the Birs- Nimrod, and of another who confidently asserts that he sew a hieroglyph of a telephone\u2014whether Bell or otherwise, don\u2019t know\u2014on the walls of an lgypt- jan tomb the old saw looks as if it wasn\u2019t pumped dry yet.A new profession\u2014said to be à good dollar making one\u2014is springing up, viz., The manicure or nail tender, and this suggests all manner of old world thoughts, and old would superstitions.The dude of the present day must have the nails trimmed to a point, showing that those delicate digits have never been soiled by degrading labor, but have ever kept the same immaculate softness \u201cthat is so striking a characteristic of the owner's cerebral department: the same idea is seen in the long corkscrew, nails of the Celestials,and in the Nubian saying that long nails are a sign of high birth and good breeding.Horace, too, calls a swell of the first water \u2018\u2018ad unguem factus homo.\u201d Thus does history repeat itself in widely diverse ages and races.Nails too play a great part in the conception of those splendid ideas, which change the course of history; upset governments, and reduce society generally to a fitting state of mind ; for who has not seen the author in the crisis of his work, pause pen in mid-air preparatory to dipping it in \u2018\u2018earthquake and flame\u201d lift his hand, and apply the mystic nail to that part of his head, where the cerebellum 1s said to rest and then by gentle friction unearth the struggling idea, which forthwith is born ; no doubt the classic legend of the birth of Minerva, goddess of wisdom, from the head of the mighty Jove, is an Old World poetic way of describing what in modern days 1s called \u2018\u2018seratch- in\u2019 the pow\u201d when things wise or otherwise are born.Nails, then, being a great factor in the history of humanity, the cutting of them must needs be a matter of high import, and the parings play a great part in the folk-lore of nations.The Romans had their manicure \u2014the barber\u2014who solemnly attended to this duty ; our Anglo- Saxon ancestors never cut their nails except when the moon was waxing, and down to the present day, in Northern Burope and by the Mediterranean,among the Ugro-Altaic nomads and the English peasants, nails must not he cut on Sundays, and above all thins a baby\u2019s nails must never be cut befui: the \u2018\u2018trot\u201d is twelve months old, or all sorts of harm will befall the innocent.They must be bitten oft! The parings must be taken care of, for say the Hungarians, if a bird were by chance to get then: and build them in its nest, intolerable headache would torment the unfortunate owner so long as the parings stayed there : and if a witch got hold of them, no end of mischief would ensue.East county folks in the Old Country hold, that all nail parings and hair clippings ought to be saved and placed in the coftin when the end comes, so that the owner may \u2018\u201center heaven perfect I\u201d This idea was prevalent in Ancient Romie wheresthe great priest, the Flamen Dialis, had his nail clippings buried with great pomp at the foot of a Sacred Tree.The curative value of these parmgs for gout, rheumatism, ague, shivers, shortness of wind,\u2014and cash\u2014 &e., &c., permeate the Folk-medicine of the world, and have a list of cures told in Folk-annals before which the \u2018 Squeezem's Pills\u201d and \u201c Slippery\u2019s Cure-all \u201d of modern days, must how their attenuated noddles.Nature\u2019s marks on the nails have their significance: \u2018\u2018 gift on the finger is sure to linger,\u201d and *\u2018a gift on the thumb is sure to come,\u201d says the jingle with nore attention to assonance than rhyme : then too if one goes spot hunting through the fingers, we say, \u2018\u2018a gift, a friend, a beau, a journey to go.\u201d Pay your money, - ae SER a ediisiedd sellin \u2014cdie-db I tried to write an account of | SATURDAY.FEBRUARY 17.1804, MONTREAL DATLY HERALD, and take your choice.A curious old Fook of superstitiouns shows how to tell «nes fortune by nail-spots, it is stated therc that those \u2018\u201cwho run may read,\u201d and be wise, black spots, mean horrors and dangers ; red ones, wrongs and tribulation ; white ones, riches and joy ; if near the bottom of the nail they are far distant,and if near the end, close at hand.The shape of the nails and the markings all have their meaning, e 8 short, blunt nails, critics ; fluted nails, artists ; long nails, jokers; almond- shaped, refined sort of folk ; etc.And now for a bonne bouche, accord ing to rabbinical tradition, our Mars are the only remnants left to us, of the transparent bodies of our first parents, the curious may turn to Origen to hear more of this, but enough has been said to show the high ancestry of the manicure, and the antiquity of the calling, and also the intense value of nails, to the would-be savant, and to the writer who would take * the dull-world by the neck and shake it till it sees.\u201d SE re De a ides Leave Windsor St, Station Ottawa, 4.45 p.m., \u201c9.10 p.m.Bostou, s9.00 a.in, *s8.20 p.m.Portland, 9.00 a, mi, 18.20 p.mr., Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, 53.25 a.m., *s9,00 p.m.;

MEREDITH (ROBERT LORD LYTTON.) \u201cLucile.\u201d by the sccond Lord Lytton, late Gavernor-Geueral of India and British Ambes- sador at Paris, is a novel in verse, with rhymed couplets, cast somewhat in the mould of Mrs.Browning's\u2018 Aurora Leigh.\u201d 19.Dreams.- By OLIVE SCHREINER Though unlike the \u2018Story of an African arm,\u201d \u201cDreams\u201d has many of the charac- Leristics which made Miss Schreiner\u2019s early woik famous.The book is both interesting and suggestive, and, besides its high meditative qualities, 1s rich in the discussion of these mental and moral problems which this clever writer delights to propound to herself andlay before the thoughtful reader.20.Black Beauty.BY ANNA SEWELL.~The tale well deserves its great populavity, forit is wonderfully realistic, and makes a strong appeal to those who love dumb animala and possess the instinct of common humanity.It isa book to charm and impress all who have to do with horses, especially those who seek to suppress that mest senseless of all vices, cruelty to animals, 21, One of the Profession.A CHARMING THEATRICAL NOVEL.The book chains the interest of the reader from the first chapter, embodying all that fascination and mysterious charms which the layer, having one life in a mimic world be- ore all men, aud another mysterious unknown will always have for the people on the other side of the footlights.22 Sartor Resartus, BY THOMAS CARLYLE Few men have given a mightier impulse to the intellectual and moral life of his age than Thomas Carlyle, Heir perhaps the most profound, the most dramatic, the most imaginative, and the most original writer of the century.With greatacutenessof thought and a marvellously forceful power and description, he has enriched the literature of the time as no other writer has enriched it.\u201cSartor Ii sartus\u201d (the tailor remade) is of the same uni- ue type as Carlyle\u2019s own character.It pro esses to be a review of a German treatise on dress; but itis this only in an allegorical meta physical sense.It isin reality under a figure of a vesture of clothes, a velled nictaphysics, according to which all things visible, especially we ourselves, are but a garment of sens.ous appearance.Every object has a double significance ; but far down, in the heart of things, aud under every apparition, is the fair and indestructible reality.24, The Pleasures of Life.By Sir Joux Lussock, Bt.This is one of the most instructive as well as the delightful books of the time.It is writton with a student\u2019s devotion and interest, and the authors enthusiasm infects every reader.Tho book deals with the intellectual upbuildingand inforining of the modern man, and will be found well nigh an education in itself, 25.The Lady of the Lake, Br Sir WALTER Scorr.This, the most popular of the great modern troubadour\u2019s poems, is of the same chivalric type as \u2018 Marmion,\u201d and the *\u2018 Lay of the Last Minstrel,\u201d though it is morerichly picturesque, as well as more interesting in plot.The same glow of national feeling breathes through the poem, the same felicity of description, the same ight and » olor, the same instinct for andl ove of martial ardor, with many inimitable touches of tender passion.Scott's feryvid patrietism and love of country are equally distinguishable in the poem and animates and illumines every line, In the power of simple narrative this fainous metrical romance is almost unequalled.26.Mornings in Florence, By Jorn Ruskix, LL.D.There is no greater writer of English prose than Ruskin: his diction is magnificent, while his feeling for the beautiful in art or in nature isunexampled.He is not only a versatile art- critic, but perhaps the most icarned as well as the most enthusiastic exponent of architec ture.His \u201cMornings in Florence\u201d are charm: ing studies of the beauties of the historic Flor entine capitsl, told with a lover's interestin art, and with much elevated thought and in spiring reflection, The passages are many that fascinate the reader by theireloquence and suggestiveness.None has said truer or finef things, 27.Rab and His Friends.By

toe touches the ground toward the street take the weight i ght of the beat Sracetul _springiness.An \u2018 eo the movement depends body on steady lowering of the the right foot and the pretty EE TT pointing of the left.If there is need to steady one\u2019s self, one may grasp the inside of the carriage with the other hand than that holding the dress.When getting into a carriage, the left foot should be lightly placed on the step, and by the aid of the right hand grasping the side of the vehicle the body should be swung upward without apparent effort.As is to be witnessed too often, the usual way of alighting from the carriage is to extend the foot horizontally, coming down flat upon it, while the grip on the side of the carriage is so tight that the whole body is swung around awkwardly, the whole movement being so stiff and stilted as to detract greatly from the exhibition of pretty feet.There is really no time when a woman\u2019s elegant bearing of herself may be more charmingly shown than when she is alighting from a vehicle.In Europe it is supposed that the tiny foot is the hall mark of race, if only it be aristocratically shaped.This latter condition is absolutely essential and it is a finer stamp of high breeding to have a foot that is delicately formed and arched, even if it be somewhat long, than to have one that is short and flat.It is related that in olden times Cleopatra was famous for her small foot, and to judge by Canova\u2019s statue, Princess Borghese Paulina Bonaparte had a marvellously beautiful foot.Mme.Tallien was wont to sit with her two naked feet adorned with rings, while the beautiful Duchess de Dinojcould put her foot with her boot on into any other woman\u2019s \u2018\u2018chaussure.\u201d LATE ENGLISH FASHIONS.A

Hatreds at the Imperial Court In Which the Waldersees Played Such a Part.BERLIN, January 27.\u2014It is one of the most dramatic episodes in modern history, this return of Prince Bismarck to Berlin, and the reconciliation between the grim old Ex-Chancellor and the impulsive and autocratic young Emperor.But the most striking feature of it all is one to which perhaps least attention is being paid.You hear everyone talking of the popular enthusiasm for the old-time hero.Why not?He created Germany.They talk of the Emperor's gracious change of attitude toward him.Why not?Nothing could be more to his Majesty\u2019s interest.They discuss the political consequences of the reconciliation.Why not?Even though Bismark will not again take oftice, his policy will be restored and will rule Éurope.But behind and above all these things is a personal matter of indescribable interest.For among those who have, apparently with the utmost cordiality, welcomed Prince Bismarck back to Berlin, is the one implacable enemy who a few years ago drove him away from that capital in humiliation.And that enemy is a woman, That enemy, indeed, is none ther, than the Dowager Empress Frederick the mother of Emperor William II Éver since she became the wife of the Crown Prince of Prussia, more than a generation ago, there has existed between her and Prince Bismarck a bitter enmity, which has led to many dramatic scenes and more than once materially affected the politics of Europe.It had its origin in Bismarck\u2019s opposition to her marriage.He had nothing against her personally, except that she was an Englishwoman and a woman of \u201cadvanced ideas.\u201d He wanted Prince Frederick to marry à German or « Russian princess, who would, for political purposes, be of more value than even this eldest daughter of the Queen of England.So he spoke bitterly and sneeringly of her as \u2018the Englishwoman.\u201d Moreover, she was highly educated, took an interest in politics, and was inclined towards liberal institutions.Nothing could be more offensive to Bismarck, who expressed his disapproval of her in his historic remark that \u2018\u2018women should confine their attention to baking bread and breeding babies.\u201d Queen Victoria's daughter was proud and high-spirited and resented all this deeply.She did not, moreover, hesitate to criticise Bismarck\u2019s policy in vigorous terms, especially the cruel war against Denmark.Her husband, too, who was naturally liberal-minded, took her views of things.And so not only was there open enmity between the Princess and Bismarck, but there was a coolness between the Prince himself and Bismarck.Old Kaiser Wilhelm saw it and grieved over it, and tried his best to set matters straight, but in vain.Bismarck could not, of course, make open warfare against the Prince, who was constantly gaining popular favor, but he never missed an opportunity to show some disapproval of him.The Prince, however, won bright laurels in the war with Austria in 1866, and in the war with France, four years later.\u201cUnser Fritz\u201d was the pre-eminent hero, and even Bismarck durst not disparage hia, vith the return of peace, however, cane Bismarck\u2019s opportunity to annoy \u2018\u2018the Englishwoman.\u201d He did so through her eldest son, the present Emperor.This son was, even in childhood, unruly and defiant of his mother\u2019s will.It was therefore not difficult, as he grew toward manhood, to win him away from home influences, to estrange him, almost alienate him, from his parents.This Prince Bismarck did.The young Prince was even told that his mother was to be be blamed for his deformed and withered arm, since she insisted on having an English instead of a German doctor in attendance at his birth.Thus something almost approaching hatred was aroused in Prince William\u2019s mind against his mother, and Bismarck grimly exulted in this wreaking of his wrath, Toward the close of the old Kaiser's reign these relations became intensely strained, and Bismarck secured a powerful ally in the person of an American woman, who for cleverness and brilliancy was almost the match of \u2018\u2018the Englishwoman\u2019 herself.This was, of course, the Countess von Waldersee, born Mary Lea and first the wife of the aged Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein, who died in 1865, six months after their wedding, leaving her a fortune of more than $5,000,000 and the title of Princess of Noer.Her marriage with Count von Waldersee occurred after the Austrian war, from which he returned with the title of major-general.He was, moreover, a member of an ancient and noble family and a great favorite of both the old Emperor and Bismarck.Count von Waldersee rose steadily until in the whole War Depart- inen the stood second only to Von Moltke himself, while his wife established a court that was almost the equal of that presided over by the Empress herself.The chief frequenter of Countess von Waldersee's salon was Prince Bismarck, who made it a sort of rallying place for his friends, as opposed to the party led by the Crown Prince, \u2018Unser Fritz, and his English wife.Prince Bismarck\u2019s triumph over \u2018the Englishwoman\u201d seemed complete when at last he got her son to join this rival court.When, in 1881, Prince William, the present Emperor, married Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, the power and influence of the Waldersees still further increased, for, by virtue of her first marriage, the countess was a grandaunt of the royal bride.The latter, who was neither attractive nor clever, did not meet with much kindness at the hands either of the Prussian royal family or of the Imperial Court.Her mother-in-law, who is one of the most talented and clever women in Europe, is intensely intolerant of stupid women; and, unfortunately, she made no pretense of hiding the fact that she placed her eldest son's wife is that category.Thoroughly unhappy, disconcerted and friendless.Princess William was only to glad to seize the helping hand held out to her by Count von Waldersee\u2019s wife, and to avail herself of the relationship which existed between them to turn to her for guidance and advice.better qualitied than Countess von Wal- dersee to act the part of mentor to the young princess among all the pitfalls of the Berlin court and society.Nor was the result long in making itself felt.The Crown Princess became completely subject to the will of her clever relative and Prince William was not long in following his wife\u2019s example, and became almost as subservient as the latter to the talented American.All this, of course, caused Prince Bismarck great exultation.Nor was his joy lessened when, through the influence of the Waldesrees, Prince William and his wife openly allied themselves with the notorious court preacher, Dr.Stoecker.The latter will be remembered as the leader of the persecution of the J ews, while Prince Frederick and his wife were the champions and defenders of them.Prince and Princess William one day attended a lecture delivered by Stoecker in the salons of Countess von Waldersee, the main purpose of which was that à revival of the movement against the Jews Was necessary to ensure the maintenance of the throne, the preservation of the Vaterland and the safeguard of society.An appeal was mads for funds for the Stoecker Berlin Mission, which, under the cover of propagating the gospel, was especially devoted to to the work of the anti-Jewish movement, and liberal response was made thereto by those present.Moreover, at the close of the lecture Prince William arose and indorsed the remarks of \u2018his friend\u201d Stoecker in such forcible language that a profound sensation was created throughout Germany, and Prince Bismarck was forced to publish an official notice to the effect that they had been misunderstood.It should be added that \u2018\u2018Uuser Fritz\u201d frequently expressed his strongest disap- THE EMPRESS FREDERICK.proval of Stoecker\u2019s participation in the \u2018\u2018Judenhetz,\u201d and repeatedly, though unsuccessfully, urged Kaiser Wilhelm to deprive him of his court chaplaincy.\u201cUnser Fritz\u201d was of the opinion of Frederick the Great, namely.that everybody is entitled to seek eternal salvation in his own way, and he even went so far as to be present with his wife at the solemn inauguration of a Jewish synagogue in order to show how thoroughly he disapproved of the persecution of the Jews.As if still further to demonstrate their sympathy and favor towards their father\u2019s assailant Prince and Princess William actually took the trouble on New Year\u2019s Day to drive to Stoecker\u2019s house and to convey to him in person their good wishes\u2014an unheard of compliment and entirely in contradiction of the traditional court etiquette.Matters came to a crisis when, at the end of the old Kaiser's reign, \u2018Unser Fritz\u201d was known to be afflicted with a mortal malady that would presently cut him off and pass the crown on to his son While the Eniperor Frederick lay ill at San Remo, attended by his devoted wife, Prince Bismarck did not relent in his hostility ; Stoecker made public attacks upon them in the most cruel manner; and Prince William, after conducting himself so shamefully toward his stricken parents that he had to be dismissed from their presence, utterly neglected them and put on airs al Berlin as though he already were wearing the crown.Shortly before Emperor Frederick\u2019s death Stoec- ker exclaimed exultantly, \u201c\u201cA brilliant future is about to open up before us.\u201d And when at length the imperial martyr died, and his widow departed from the palace, Bismarck exclaimed, \u201cThank heaven that\u2019s the end of petticoat rule in Berlin!\u201d But fallen from actual authority and apparently beaten by Ler old enemy, the Kmpress Frederick acknowledged no defeat.She nursed her wrath and bided her time for vengeance, and time was not long.First she contrived to get Count von Waldersee sent away from Berlin.Ostensibly it was a promotion, as he was sent to a most important position elset where.But it was far away from Berlin.and so his wife\u2019s rival court was broken up and she herself exiled from the capital.That was Empress Frederick's first stroke of vengeance.The next followed swiftly.Emperor William, arrogant and domineering as he is, is peculiarly susceptible to feminine influences.He must, indeed, always be under some woman's control.When the Countess von Waldersee was sent away he looked about for someone else to take her place as his mentor.But it must be someone as strong and clever as she, and there was only one such in Berlin.So, he turned to his mother ! At the moment when the young Emperor and his mother became reconciled the Iron Chancellor\u2019s doom was sealed, and his dismissal in disgrace from the royal service soon followed.Thus \u2018\u2018the Englishwoman\u201d was in the end triumphant.And Prince Bismarck knew that it was she who had compassed his fall.She, however, is a woman, and a woman whose heart has been wrung by many sorrows.So when she saw her old foe, fully beaten, ill and likely to die, her heart relented.And it was at her bidding that the Emperor invited him back to Berlin and made all possible atonement for the exile into which he had sent hun.That is the dramatic feature of this whole business.And so I say that, more than the shouting multitudes along Unter den Linden, and more than the Emperor himself falling upon Bismarck\u2019s neck, is the picture of \u201c\u2018the Englishwoman\u201d extending her hand to her ancient enemy and bidding him wel- come hone | eT ES 1 Few persons wer MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17,1894, rt VALUES OF FOODS The Question as Concerning the Diet of Children.Medical Opinions of Different Kinds of Food and the Ways of Co0Oking Them-Doctors Do Not Disagree so Much as Might Be Supposed Meat, Vegetables, Considered.An article which appeared in the columns of The New York Times early in November, entitled.\u2018What May the Children Eat,\u201d attracted such widespread attention that, in answer to correspondence on the subject, the following summary of authoritative information has been prepared for the benefit of our readers : To begin with cereals.Owing to the vast amount of literature on the subject, much of it put forth by those who have some special preparation to sell, the public is completely befogged as to the relative value of different grains.Take oats, for instance, which are lauded or derided with vehemence, eminent authorities being quoted in support of each\u201d opinion.To the unprejudiced mind, the fact that this food received favorable notice 500 years before the Christian era, the great Hippocrates having included a recipe for its preparation in one of his medical treatises, and that it still has earnest advocates, is proof that it can neither be universally mjurious nor wholly worthless.Some oË the most serious complaints as to the indigestibility of oatmeal may be traced to improper or insufficient cooking.There is not one of the prepared varieties but will be improved and made more digestible by cooking nearly an hour.Another obstacle which applies to al breakfast cereals is the danger that a mass of hot, mucilaginous matter may be thrown into the stomach.All food which is much above or below the temperature of the body is indigestible.Meat, by the process of mastication, becomes properly cooled, but \u2018*\u2018spom food\u201d frequently \u2018\u2018burns all the way down,\u201d and the general use of cream in preference to milk for breakfast cereals prevents the cooling absolutely necessary to digestion.Preparations of wheat are lighter than those of oats, but the testimony, not only of mothers, but of those who have large numbers of children under their care, as the matrons and nurses in institutions, is that children prefer oatmeal to wheat.As to cornmeal, in its varions forms, a Southern physician, who is undoubtedly acquainted with it in its best form and cooked to perfection, states positively that it is \u201c\u2018too scouring for the stomach of any child.\u201d The effect of feeding corn to horses is well known, and has been one of the reasons why its importation into Germany has been so vigorously opposed.With regard to the various grains used for bread, one authority contends that those who do not like bran bread should not, as a rule, use it.He also states that rye flour is laxative, but slow of digestion, and that buckwheat does not deserve the condemnation it frequently receives.He says of buckwheat cakes: \u2018When they are well made they are beautiful.To be well made they should be light, crisp, and sweet.It is not as nutritious as wheat or corn, but it helps our variety of food, is very palatable and easy of digestion, and therefore should be encouraged.\u201d An experienced housekeeper, a woman of intelligence, who has carefully noted the effects of food upon growing children states that this flour is more digestible, when mixed with yeast, then when lightened with baking powder.Also that if served more than twice a week, and that only in the coldest weather, it is apt to overheat the blood and so produce eruptions.This same mother is emphatic in her denunciation of the use of anything but yeast tor leavening bread.The instinct of the housewife coincides with the opinion of physicians in this matter.A New York physician of national reputation, prescribing recently for a boy ten years of age who suffered from no disease, but merely general debility, arising from malnutrition, forbade the use of all cereals, except wheat, and that was to be used only in the form of bread.Three slices per day were considered sufficient though the child was to be allowed more if he cared to eat it.Next in order to cereals comes the question of meats.As a nation, we have long been accused of taking too much animal food, and the rule has been laid down and elaborately defended that meat should not be eaten oftener than once a day.That may be sufficient.for those who take but little exercise, but those who have to face a wind blowing thirty-six miles an hour need something more than a poached egg and toast, both for breakfast and on their return.The wost erroneous notions prevail concerning a meat diet, apart from the question of daily allowance.Foremost among these is the idea that underdone meat is nore wholesome than that which is thoroughly cooked.On the contrary, it is more difficult to digest, for it cannot be properly masticated.Overcooking is likewise bad, for it renders the meat less soluble by the gastric juice.It is useless to rail against the baking of meat, for that is the only method of \u201croasting\u201d possible in most American houses.Baking can be done on scientific principles, and those who have once tried them will gladly continue for the sake of the flavor, regardless of the hygienic value of food thus cooked.It is done as follows : Pans fitted with racks can be bought at the stores, but if not, one can be made by breaking off the handles of a small gridiron and placing it across the pan.Put your meat on this and pour a cup of boiling water into the pan.Have the oven so hot that without the water the meat would certainly be smoked,and keep up this intense heat for twenty minutes.Then slacken it by altering the damper, and allow the meat to cook slowly for the usual length of time.Boiled or stewed meats are not so easily digested as those cooked in the above manner, but the oven may also be used to advantage for this process.By placing the meat in a closely-covered jar in a moderate oven more of the \u2018\u2018goodness\u201d of the meat is apt to be retained.1 Of all processes of cookery, broiling is unquestionably the simplest and best.The introduction of the waffielike gridiron hes taught our housewives the necessity of warming the utensil before placing the meat upon it.Epicures demand that a fork shall not be used,but that the steak shall be lifted with tongs, \u2014\u2014 _-\u2014 Lens sen ooo lest any of the precious juices should escape.Children should always have freshly- cooked meats.\u201cLeft-overs\u201d may be made tasty,and are not to be condemned for those who have perfect digestion, but the second cooking of meat renders it it unsuitable for those who have any difficulty in assimilation.*\u201c A fried egg is just as wholesome as a poached one, if 1t be done properly.\u201d Such was the startling announcement made by a physician whose dietary has already been quoted.To fry properly, the fat must be smoking hot and the food drained on absorbent paper, than which nothing is better than the coarse yellow- brown sort used in meat shops.That is the whole secret.Eggs are among the most valuable of our resources in providing for children.For them, as for adults, it is not possible to prescribe the best method of cooking.One doctor says they should merely be allowed to set by standing in hot water.Another tells his patients to drop them into boiling water and boil rapidly for twenty minutes, or until the yolk is like powder.Poaching is insisted upon by others, whereas the personal experience of the writer is that they are far more indigestible done in that way than in any other.It seems, in short, a matter of individual idiosyncrasy as to the mechod best suited to each.An admirable method, not generally known, is steaming them in an egg boiler, under which there is a reversible cup for alcohol, so that they may be timed exactly and can be cooked hard or soft, according to taste.Opinions regarding fish as food differ widely.The idea that it is important because of the phosphorus that it contains is erroneous, for meat contains about as much, and phosphorus is also found in the husks of bran or wheat.Moreover, fish is not always digestible.Herring, mackerel, and eel are to rich for any but strong stomachs, and salmon, especially when served warm, is apt to disagree with many.As a rule, fresh water fish is more digestible than sea food.the value of The action of fruits and vegetables is more marked and their effect can be presented with greater certainty that almost any other kinds of food.Potatoes are not so important or so digestible as might appear from their consistency and the universality of their use.Two pounds of wheat contain as much nutriment as seven pounds of potatoes.The starchy nature of this vegetable renders it necessary to withhold it from those who suffer from intestinal indigestion, (not an uncommon complaint and whose presence may be known by distress being suffered several hours after eating rather than directly after a meal.) They are also bad for all children who have a tendency to, soft bones.There is one common disease of children which indicates infallibly the necessity for fresh vegetables.That is bleeding of the gums when a toothbrush is used.The trouble is 1eally à mild form of scurvy and should receive prompt attention.Succulent vegetables are the best remedies.With watercress and lettuce so abundant in the winter season, there is no excuse for this trouble.Asparagus and tomatoes have a favorable action on the kidneys.Peas and beans, when fresh, are nourishing, but when dried produce flatulence.Spinach is neutral and of little value.Beets, turnips, and carrots are all more or less indigestible, but artichokes are similar in their properties to asparagus.The value of onions is universally recognized.Of fruits, apples and pears are the most nutritious, and stone fruits are considered the least digestible, though a well-known specialist, contends that fresh ripe fruit of any kind, eaten in moderate quantities, is not hurtful to any except those who may be suffering from some forms of disease.Apples act on the liver, and so well is this understood that in certain country districts the household remedy for \u201cbilious attacks\u201d is hard cider.For children a glass of cider which is between sweet and sour will frequently ward off an attack of this kind.Concluding what can, for want of space, be a mere summary of the subject, those planning for the children\u2019s meals are reminded that it hasbeen decided by persons competent to judge that a single representative of the four classes of food at a meal is a wise arrangement.If meat is given as a nitrogenous food, for example, milk should not be added.Milk and meat in any quantities are too strong a combination.Fish and eggs together are also a burden to the youthful digestion.Another reminder is that of variety.Change the bill of fare often; this will be found possible even with simple food.Mothers who give the matter any thought soon find that the planning of the children\u2019s meals is an occupation of itself, but no mother will shrink from it when she recalls the reward\u2014healthful childhood and sound maturity for the beings she loves more than she does herself.Dufferin Hung up to Drv.Sir Edwin Arnold considers it is not too extravagant to call the office of an Indian Viceroy *\u2018 sublime.\u201d Inan article in The English Illustrated Magazine he declares that no position in the world, not actually royal, approaches it for influence and for splendour ; and probably no extant monarch keeps up so much visible State as the representative of Her Majesty at Calcutta.Sir Edwin also points out that there are three types of Indian Viceroys which are all good in their way.One is that of the man who, like Sir John Lawrence, knows the vast country by previous long service, and is therefore the least likely to make administrative mistakes.The second is the practised statesman, the assured master of State aftairs, like Lord Dufferin, who carries to his splendid office the habits of command and the knowledge of men.And the third may be very well represented by Lord Elgin, the intelligent and high bred ruler, who is sure of nothing except of his good-wills to serve India and her Empress faithfully.The same writer realls a remark made by Lord Dufferin at Calcutta while Viceroy.Sir Edwin had urged His Lordship, having regard to the dangerous state of the frontier, not to expose himself again to the sun, as he had done at Delhi and elsewhere, contracting in consequence a slight fever.Laughingly, Lord Dufferin answered, \u2018\u2018Well, you see, they have been sending me recently always to the Arctic regions.The packed me off to Canada to be Governor-General there.and then afterwards to St.Petersburg as Ambassador, so that when I received the honor of appointment as Viceroy of India, I said in my own mind, \u2018Now I will hang myself up to dry! and possibly I have been overdoing it.\u201d Having endured the extremes, let us hope that Lord Dufferin finds Paris the happy mean.11 SEXUAL decline may be arrested before decay; strength may be restored; powers wher impoverished by youth\u2019s reckless overdrafts may be reinvigorated by our home treatment CONFIDENCE never has its citadel in the breasts of thosg \u201cwho have weak, shrunke:, undeveloped oz diseased organs.The evil that men da through ignorance in boyhood and errors of early manhood leaves wasting effects, RESTORED to vigorous vitality you might be successful in business, fervent in spirit.Our enrative m :thods are unfailing.Write for our book * PERFECT MANHOOD,\u201d sent fre 3 aled.(Gate | ERIE MEDICAL CO., BUFFALO.N.Yer INSURANCE.PHŒNIX Insurance - Company OF HARTFORD, CONN.Cash Capital, - $2,000,000 Canada Branch Head Office: 114 St.James St.- MONTREAL SMITH & TATLEY, Managers LIVERPOOL, LONDON & GLOBE INSURANGE GOMPANY, Canada Board of Directors: HoN., HENRY STARNES, Chairman.Edmo' J.Barbeau, lcsq.nairman, W.J.Buchanan, Esq.A.F.Gault, Esq.Sam\u2019l Finley, Esq.Amountinvested in Canada.$ 1,850,000 Avait essets.8 , Lo,.o0 MERCANTILE RISKS accepted ab lowest current rates.Churches, Dwelling Houses and Farm Pro- pertiesinsured at reduced rates, =~ | Special attention given to applications made direct to the Montreal office, G.F.C.SMITH Chief Agent for the Dominion Sub-Agents: JOHN G.R.DR: 0.1, THOS.Hiawm, GEO.R.Ron 1soN & SONS, Specia Agent French Department, CYRILLE LAURIN, HIGHEST : AWARDS BE LE at the WORLD'S LINE IMPROVED PULLEYS and PINS all beautifully Galvanized.Patented in the United States, England and Canada.Agents wanted.Write for particulars.Address\u2014 G.A.LEBARON.Sherbrooke, Que.neg W h ] AT REDUCED diCNes: pricEs.We are offering our entire Stock of GOLD WATCHES ata REDUCTION of 20 per cent., and 5 per cent for cash.Sterling Silverware at the present reduced prices will not be lower but may possibly be higher.WATSON & DICKSON, Importers of Watches, Jewellery.Electro-plate Spoons and Forks, Joseph Rodgers & Sons\u2019, Table Cutlery, «A 1791 NOTRE DAME, À Corner of St.Peter St.i BILLIARD MANUFACTURERS Also Bowling Alley Balls.Do all kind of work in the Billiard Line E.L.ETHIER & CO., Importers.88 ST.DENIS, - Montreal.Telephone 6057.DF AND Cc | ss a, £ punct® SER STANS dg?DIES oF every DESCRIPTION /47 CRAIG Sz MONTREAL Ur.| Collis Browne's CHLORODYNE Vice-Chancellor Sir W.Page Wood stated publicly in Court that Dr.J.CoLLIs BROWNE was undoubtedly the inventor of Chlorodyne, and the whole story of the defendant, Freeman, was literally untrue, and he regreited to sa; that it had been sworn to.\u2014Times, J uly 10, 1862, DR.J.COLLIS BROWNE'S Chlorodyne is the best and most certain remedy in Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Consumption, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, &ec.J.COLLIS BROWNE'S Chlorodyne\u2014 The Right Hon.Earl Ryssell communi~ cated to the College of Physicians and J.T.Davenport that he had received information to the effect that the only remedy of any service in Cholera was Chlorodyne, \u2014See Lancet, December 31, 1864.DR.J.COLLIS BROWNE'S Chlorodyne is a certain curefor Cholera, Dysentery, Diarr- hœa, Colic, &c.£8\" Caution \u2014 None genuine without the words : \u2018Dr, J.Collis Browne\u2019s Cholorodyne on tne stamp.Overwhelming medical testimony accompanies each bottle.Sole manufacturer, J.T.DAVENPORT, 33 Great Russel street, London, Eng.Sold at 1s.13d; 2s.9d.; 14s., 6d.11s.Porter, Teskey & Co 454 & 456 St.James St., Montreal.IMPORTERS OF # NOTIONS Novelties in PURSES, HAIR PINS, BROOCHES, PIPES, DOLLS.TOYS.And general smallwares and Holiday Goods.Canadian agents for Hy, Milward & Sous\u2019 Fish Hooks, oT DR.0 Dear PaurPry.\u2014 What constitutes an amateur?\"This Is a question ofttimes asked and as often answered.I am sure the promoters of the Montreal Amateur (?)

Amateur and Professional actor musician or artist, and 1 can assure you there is a good broad line beyond Amateurism in our local, so called, Amateur Operatic Company.1 can safely say there are but very few outside the chorous who are employed in this production who are not receiving a monied recompense for their professional services therefore the word Amateur is by no means properly applied.Then again are the performances given with any charitable intent usually the case with such entertainments?No indeed,it is a strictly business, and professional enterprise and should be criticised and treated as such.Not only does it smack of real professionalism from the fact that they play a whole week but the regular professional custom of a Saturday Matinee is given.I for one feel confident that the entertainments would have met with a greater degree of popular commeudation\u2014had we any reason to believe it an amateur club.The company had certainly had the advantage of long rehearsals by capable directors.More chance indeed than is usually given to established companies.And why this one should expect us to give up professional prices, for an alleged amateur performance that is professional from every point of view except merit is beyond my comprehension.Yours truly, AMATEUR.pa x Miss Lottie Williams who is with the Marie Sanger Burlesque company playing

\u2018\u201c The Child of the Sierras,\u201d who died in London, October last, under it is claimed, mysterious circumstances, arrived in New York last Sunday morning.He was accompanied by his sister Mrs.Wm.Fraser, and by Annie Joyce, the late Miss Pixley\u2019s maid, who is said to have administered certain powders to her, thus being instrumental in causing her death in order that Mr.Fulford might obtain possession of her estate valued at from $300,000 to $400, 000.When interviewed Mr.Fulford said that although he did not feel like talking on the subject, he could state that the charges are the most absurd rubbish on earth.The course of the Pixley family he thought, was no doubt, due to impatience on their part because he (Fulford) had not urried over to America and turned over to them, Annie's estate.\u2018All the money was mine whether my wife was alive or not,\u201d he remarked, \u201cand what had I to gain?\u201d The charge of harsh treatment of my wife is likewise

discretion in their statement, Mr.Fulford will go te Philadelphia where the bulk of the Pixley Estate is located, and prepare for legal fighting.He has the remains of his wife in an urn the body having been crimated, and will bury it beside their child in London, Ont.* ¥ It is a wise composer that knows his own opera.When William Furst went to Baltimore a month or so ago to make some changes in \u2018The Honeymooners,\u201d he sat through the first act and then he asked Manager McLellan: ¢ What is this \u2019 ¢ Why,\u201d replied the india rubber graduate, \u2018\u2018your opera.\u201d But it had been mutilated into the semblance of a variety show.Julia Marlowe seems to have made a deep impression by her acting in \u2018\u2018 Chatterton,\u201d the one-act play by Ernest Lacy, which she produced recenty in Chicago.The play, too, comes in for a large measure of critical commendation.I wonder if Mr.Lacy would have conceived the idea of writing a piece around the closing scene in the strange life of the half-mad boy poet had not Henry Arthur Jones preceded him in that task ?xxx While it is known that Mr.Hopper intends to revive\u201c\u2018\u2018Cinderella at School\u201din an elaborate manner, it will be news to many that he purposes doing that sort of piece exclusively.As a matter of fact, Mr.Hopper told me that he has accepted a new comic opera by Charles Klien and John Philip Sousa, called The \u201cLand of the Incas,\u201d which has nothing in common with the Robertson school of work.* * % Mr.Willard denies the report that he 7 fa US N° | Ah = Cowmn (ev == is booked for next season to receive as a substitute Marie Burroughs, who is going to be an independent star during the term of Mr.Willard\u2019s vacation.It seems that Mr.Willard in notifying managers with whom he held contracts of his decision not to act next season merely suggested that Miss Burroughs would be glad to fill the vacant dates.* % % Miss Burroughs prospects of succeeding as a star depend upon her ability to secure an attractive play.Experience teaches that the play\u2019s the thing no matter how much of a favorite a star may be.Take Mr.Willard\u2019s case, for example.He crowded theatres for many weeks with the popular Professor's Love Story, but when he revived his old pieces the houses fell off surprisingly.xx Montreal has for many years accepted the Austin sisters as the acme of aerial performers.The Vaidais sisters were close competitors, but as a matter of fact they were never \u201c\u2018in it\u201d with the Austins.\"Then there were those old performers who played under the most favorable circumstances with Mr.Sparrow in Montreal and Quebec years ago, but the Beckets are as clever as any of them.I don\u2019t propose to ask you to accept the Marie Sanger performance as the best burlesque company which the Royal has ever seen ; but I must ask that you should the Becketts.Truly, I never saw such a wonderful leap from the dome of the theatre as that of M'ume Becketts when she dives into her husband\u2019s arms while he is swinging on the trapeze.% + x The production of Erminie at the Academy this week by the Montreal Amateur Operatie Club may safely be said to have been the most successiul of any previous similar undertaking by Mon- trealers.Every evening hus Seen crowded audiences at the Academy, while on Monday and Thursday evenings, military and M.A.A.A.nights, there were few vacant seats in the whole building.Nor was this production, as a whole, unworthy the success it met.While some of the parts might have undoubtedly been strengthened by a little more theatrical experience on the part of the participants, the cast as a whole was a very strong one.Indeed the way in which many of our local folks performed their parts would have been not unworthy even some professionals that I know.If, however, a criticism of minor importance and which does not concern the actual acting.may be permitted, it might be said that a little less belladonna would have been an improvement.The eyes of the fair young actresses were sutliciently bright and sparkling without the aid of this supposed beautifyer ; and in several conspicuous instances, they were considerably injured by a too lavish application.+ x Ww The police of Boston gathered up the lithographs exposed along the streets of that city on Sunday, acting under the authority of à municipal ordinance.The reason for the suppression presumably 1s that the spectacle afforded by the chromatic pictures offends the Boston chnrch-goer.The enforcement of the law, at all events, will save visiting managers a good deal of useless expenditure, for there is little or no value to this particular form of advertising.That was rather an amusing comment made by a Boston theatrical man, regarding this matter.He remarked : \u201cIn Boston, for any attraction that has merit, lithographs are unnecessary ; and all the lithographs into the world cannot make a poor show pay in Boston,\u201d It is the testimony of many traveling managers that Boston, comparatively speaking, nses more lithographs than any other city in the Union.It is estimated that 18,000 persons enter the theatres there on lithograph passes every week.In view of the coming engagement of Irving and Terry, a short sketch of their lives will be interesting.x * Henry Irving, who stands at the head of the theatrical profession, was born at Keinton.near Glastonbury, England, on Feb.6, 1838.His first public appearance was made at Sunderland, Sept.29, 1856, and during the next ten years he played in the principal English und Scottish cities.In 1866 he got an engagement at the St.James Theatre, London, and subsequently played at Drury Lane, the Haymarket, and the Gaiety.In May, 1870, he went over to the Vaudeville, and played in \u201cTwo Roses\u201d for 300 consecutive nights.Four years later began the series of Shakes- pearian representations which have made his name famous.\u2018\u201cHamlet\u201d was produced at the Lyceum Theatre on October 31, 1874, and created a great sensation.In his interpretation of this and other Shakes- pearian parts Mr.Irving is without a rival.On this occasion the play ran for 200 nights, its longest run on record.In 1875, \u201c\u2018Macbeth\u201d appeared, and was followed the year after by Othello.\u201d About the same time he brought out the first of the Tenny- sonian dramas, with which his name has become so closely connected of late years, namely, \u201cQueen Mary.\u201d In January, 1877, \u201cRichard 111,\u201d was added to the repertoire.The night ot December 30, 1878, will always mark an epoch in the history of the stage.On that night Mr.Irving opened the Lyceum under his owu management, and here he has remained ever since.\u201cHamlet\u201d began a run of 100 nights, with Miss Ellen Terry as Ophelia, the beginning of the combination of these two great stars.Other plays followed during the succeeding years; \u2018\u2018Othello,\u201d in which Irving alternated the Moor and Jago with Edwin Booth; \u201cThe Merchant of Venice,\u201d \u201cMuch Ado About Nothing,\u201d \u201cThe Cup,\u201d \u201cTwelith Night,\u201d and \u201cFaust.\u201d His recent revivals of \u201cHenry VIIL.\u201d and \u201cKing Lear,\u201d which were produced at the Lyceum with a magnificence of stage setting and an attention to detail hitherto unknown, are à still fresh in the public mind.\u2018The Bells,\u201d an adaptation of a story by Erck- mann-Chatrian, and Tennyson\u2019s \u2018\u2018Becket,\u201d both of which are to be given in Montreal, are also among Mr.Irvings late successes.In 1383 lhe visited America with the entire Lyceum Company, and again in the following year.A third tour was undertaken in 1887-8, all of which proved eminently successful.Mr.Irving was repeatedly feted by American Literary Societies and by leading citizens.In October last he arrived in New York for his present engagement, and in December he opencd the new Abbey\u2019s Theatre there with \u2018\u2018Becket,\u201d creating a striking sensation.A visit to Germany was made in 1889.Mr.Irving is a life trustee of Shakespearc\u2019s birthplace, and made the dedicatory speech on the occasion of the presentation of a public fountain to the citizens of Stratford-on-Avon by the late George W.Childs.He is an has proposed to managers with whom he honorary LL.D.of Oxford University, and \u2014 >\" ea \u2014_\u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014 \u2014\u2014 MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1894.on the occasion of the Ter-centenary of Trinity College, Dublin, in 1892, he received a similar honor from that University.One of Mr.Irving's sons has been acting for some time with Walter Benson $ Shakespearian company, and another has Just made his debut in London.& * *#* Miss Ellen Alice Terry was born at Coventry, on the 27th February, 1848.She first acted with Mrs.Charles Kean at the Princess\u2019s Theatre, London, and remained with the Keans till they gave up manage, ment.After appearing in the Royalty an Haymarket Theatres, where she got er first lessons in legitimate comedy, she played a short engagement at the Queen s, acting with Mr.Irving for the fest, Fine in \u201cTaming of the Shrew.hen followed a long absence from the stage, her reappearance being at the Queens T lea re in Charles Reade\u2019s \u2018Wandering Heir.In 1875, Miss Terry played with Mr.Bancroit, at the Prince of Wales\u2019 Theatre, and the year after with Mr.John Hare at the Court Theatre.When Mr.Irving took over the management of the Lyceum Miss Terry joined him, and since then she has ; her fame added fresh laurels to ; as Ophelia, Portia, Desdemona, Juliet, Beatrice, Pauline in\u201c he Lady of s°\u2019 and other parts.Her latest eres are as Queen Katharine in \u201cHenry VIII,\u201d Cordelia in \u201cKing Lear,\u201d and Rosamund in \u2018\u2018Becket.\u201d She has also made a decided hit as Nance Oldfield in the one-act comedy of that name.Miss Terry accompanied Mr.Irvingand the Lyceum Company during the American tours of 1883 and 1884, and also to Germany in 1889.She was received during these tours with the utmost enthusiasm.ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.Louise.\u2014The box contained a gold brooch from E.Company, 6th Fusiliers.Wellington.\u2014 You lose.Charles Lois Ambroise Thomas, the composer, is not related to Theodore Thomas.F.F.M.\u2014Yes, Dixey will be here this A SNAKE BITE.Its Deadiiness Due to the Poison Contains ing Living Germs.The heads of most of the venomous snakes, including the \u2018\u2018rattlers,\u201d bulge just beyond the neck.Without exception they have fangs, either always erect or raised and laid back at will.These fangs are long, sharp-pointed teeth, with a hollow groove running their entire length, At the root of each fang is a little bag of poison.When the snake bites the motion presses the poison sac.and its contents flow down through the hollow in the tooth into the puncture or wound.The harmless little forked tongue is often spoken of by the uninformed as the snake's \u201cstinger.\u201d Now, there is no propriety in the name, 88 the poisonous snakes do not sting, but bite their victims.There is no creature, even if brought from foreign countries where \u2018\u2018rattlers\u201d do not exist, but will halt and tremble at the first warning sound of the rattle.Dr.8.Weir Mitchell, with others, has been making experiments with tne venom of different serpents.He has found that, aside from its poisoning qualities, it contains living germs, which have the power of increasing enormously fast.So, you see, when an animal is bitten these tiny bits of life entering with the poison cause harmful action to begin almost at once.Dr.Mitchell has found that the nervous centre controlling the act of striking seems to be in the spinal cord, for if he cut off a snake\u2019s head and then pinched its tail, the stump of its neck turned back and would have struck his hand had he been bold enough to bold it still.\u2014St.Nicholas.Turkish Great Guns.In 1478 Mohammed II.in forming the siege of Scutari, in Albania.employed fourteen heavy bombards, the lightest of which threw a stone shot of three hundred and seventv pounds\u2019 weight, two sent shots of five hundred pounds, two of seven hundred and fifty pounds, two of eight, hundred and fifty pounds, one of twelve hundred pounds, five of fifteen, and one of the enormous weight of sixteen hundred and forty pounds, enormous even in these days, for the only guns whose shot exceeds the heaviest of these are our eighty-ton guns, throwing a seventeen-hundred-pound projectile, our one-hundred-ton throwing one of two thousand pounds, and the one-hundred-and-ten-ton throwing an eighteen-hundred-pound shot with a high velocity.The stone shot of Mohammed's guns varied between twenty and thirty-two inches in diameter, about the same height as a dining- table; twenty-five hundred and thirty- four of them were fired on this occasion, weighing, according to a calculation of Gen.Lefroy's, about one thousand tons, and were cut out of the solid rock on the spot.Assuming twenty-four inches as the average diameter of the shot fired at this siege, the total area of the surface dressed was nearly thirty-two thousand square feet.At this siege the weight of the powder fired is estimated by Gen.Lefroy to have been two hundred and fifty tons.At the siege of Rhodes, in 1480, Mohammed caused sixteen basilisks, or double cannon, to be cast on the spot, throwing balls two to three feet in diameter.\u2014Chamber\u2019s Journal.Ancient Words.Among the words many people think antiquated, that are in fact new and most of them American, is curlicue, which has been traced back no further than 1858 in an American publication; while cyclone is older than has been generally supposed, an example of its present use being found in 1848, Kane.the explorer, wrote it quite as correctly \u201ccyclome,\u201d and according to accepted authority the y in it should be short, notwithstanding that it is generally pronounced long.\u201cCrank\u201d is another Americanism, with a long history.In the vear 1,000 it was a handle or treadle to turn a revoiving axis.In early German and Dutch it meant by derivation a person easily twisted or revolved, a weak creature.Milton spoke of quips and cranks, fanciful turns of speech.By the middle of this century it had come to mean a twist of the mind.From the twist itself it became in American slang the person whose mind had become twisted.The sense of monomaniac, in which it is admitted since the trial of Gruitean into dictionaries, is probably a growth from the machine used in prison by which convicts were compelled toturn a revolving disk under regular pressure a number of times every day, gradually breaking their mental force down by its exhanstive persistence in a single direction.For
