Trouble \u2014An Operation Will Soon be Necessary\u2014It Will Keep Him in Darkness for Many Weeks\u2014 His successor Mentioned.T Loxpox, Feb.27.\u2014The subject of Mr.Gladstone\u2019s resignation is discussed to-day in a way suggesting that there may be some oundation for the report.The Pall Mall Gazette, The St.James Gazette and The Westminster Gazette publish articles almost identical in substance, indicating that Mr.Gladstone will resign at an early date.The reason given in each Is that the Premier\u2019s eyesight is failing so fast that his vision will become wholly obscured if he does not immediately retire from active political duty.It is also stated that it was the intention of Mr.Gladstone to allude to his approaching resignation in the House of Commons yesterday, but he was dissuaded by his colleagues from doing so.The Manchester Guardian, The Yorkshire Post and many other provincial newspapers published these rumors and accompany them with articles expressing belief that they are well founded.The Chronicle and The Sun claim to have information that Earl Rosebery will be Gladstone\u2019s successor and Sir William Har- court the Government leader in the House of Commons.The Edinburgh Evening News claims to have been informed upon authority that Mr.Gladstone has already resigned the premiership but will retain a seat in the Cabinet.Üpon the same authority The News announces that Mr.Gladstone will have an audience with the Queen to-day when he will recommend Lord Rosebery as his successor.\"THE NEWS DOUBTED.The renewed rumors of Gladstone\u2019s retirement from office having been reduced to alnost positive statements from well-inform- ed sources, Gladstone\u2019s followers have become agitated almost to the verge of a panic while his political enemies are correspondingly jubilant.Though there are still many doubters it is significant that it is among the Premier\u2019s parliamentary and official adherents that the reports of his almost immediate withdrawal from office find most credence.Writing in to-day\u2019s Sun, T.P.O\u2019Connor; M.P., says: \u2018For some time something like a panic has existed among Gladstone\u2019s supporters in the lobbies.Yesterday evening the rumor was current that the Premier's Fesignation was to be expected during the gourse of the week.Competent authority gives his eyesight as the actual reason for his resignation, fut the situation is further aggravated by the position of certain members of the cabinet with reference to the naval programme.The Premier had to face the possibility of Earl Spencer (the first, Lord of the Admiralty) resigning.The cataract on the Premiers eye is not yer ripe for operation, but when it occurs e must spend six weeks in darkness.Nobody has the least idea what a day may bring forth, though my own opinion is that Mr.Gladstone will refuse to leave the ship.\u201d A SPECIFIC DENIAL.The Central News is authority for the statement that the rumor that Mr.Glad- itone will resign from loffice is officially denied.The statement is also made on the same authority that the report that the Premier has had any interview with the Queen on the subject of his final resignation or temporary retirement is absolutely without foundation.The interview had by Lord Rosebery with the Queen on Saturday had no political significance whatever, WHY HE MIGHT RESIGN._ Although the condition of Mr.Gladstone\u2019s eyes 1s regarded as a sufficient reason for his wishing to lay down the cares of office, It is not believed to be the real reason for his resignation if the persistent reports that he intends to resign are true.Owing to his great age and waning physical power he Is unable to withstand the shafts of criticism hurled at h'm as he was a few Jears ago or even a few months ago.Then they would glance irom him as they now pierce.It is also true that he has recently been deeply affected by the Comments of his political friends on his Sousse In regard to several party measures.j dese evidences of ingratitude have pained am severely.His course in withdrawing ] te Employers\u2019 Liability bill, when many of us followers were clamoring for a parliamentary fight against the House of Lords, with the ultimate view of compelling the abolition of the hereditary body, has driven a more radical of his adherents to declare at his democracy has undergone a change, and this accusation they have taken great Pains should reach his ears.The Private Secretary of the Premier vou neither affirm nor deny the reports as © Mr.Gladstone\u2019s resignation.The most \u20ac Will say is that the positive statement of The Edinburgh Evening News that Mr.G lads tone has i 1 i resi ned 18 ent y - th ol i d.g n irel unau EARL ROSEBERY\u2019S TRIP.The fact jthat the Earl of Rosebery, While on his way to visit the Prince and l'Incess of Wales at Sandringhan last Sat- prday, was handed a despatch at Newmar- et and Immediately returned to the For- fen Office, while attracting ne attention at the lime, is now believed to have had a rect bearing on the question which is now N Sing so much agitation in political cire8,\u2014) Fe Gladstone\u2019s retirement in Lord er y 8 favor.The excuse given out ne ¢ time for Lord Rosebery\u2019s sudden for a ons ona he was summoned back on made necessary by the defeat of the British sailors on The west as of rica.Itis now said, however, th , he reason for the return of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs that it was \u20ac Important announcement had been made y Mr.Gladstone, the effect of which is that he intended to resign.Mr.Gladstone was visited to-day by a A ysician who remained with him for some ne The Premier attended to his official uties during the morning and received Several visitors, among whom was the Liberal whip, Edward Majoribanks e Evening News says ali that Mr.Gladstone has resigned aad oy is resignation will go into effect at Easter oy

to confirm the report Mr.Gladstone\u2019s resignation is inevitable within a few weeks.Since his return from Biaritz the cataract which has been forming in his eye has ripened fast, and Dr.Bond, Dr.Grainger and other physicians whom he has consulted, consider an early operation advisable.The treatment will necessarily involve seclusion in a darkened room for a long time, probably three months, with complete cessation of all work attended by brain strain or worry.Mr.Gladstone\u2019s colleagues wish him to postpone his resignation of the premiership until the latest possible moment and to keep « sinecure seat in the Cabinet, such as by taking the office of Lord Privy Seal.; Liberals are divided in opin'on as to whe .cc Mr.Gladstone's retirement would be temporary or permanent.Mr.Gladstone himself freely tells his friends that his hearing is going with his eye-sight.His health otherwise is still vigorous.His voice in last night\u2019s debate in the House of Commons was full and clear and his bearing was upright and firm.The Radicals who believe him an obstacle to reform of the House of Lords held that Mr.Gladstone\u2019s withdrawal from the ministry will be final.DENIED BY THE NEWS.Loxpox,Feb.28\u2014The Daily Graphic says it has received information that the situation, as far as Mr.Gladstone is concerned, remains exactly the same as it was when Sir Algernon West sent out his statement from Biarritz on January 31.The Daily News denies that Mr.Gladstone has resigned, and refuses to waste any space in discussing the idle talk of a speedy dissolution of Parliament.In discussing the possibility of bis infirmity compelling Mr.Gladstone to retire \u2014an event which it hopes is far distant\u2014 The News says there is no doubt that Lord Rosebery will succeed to the Premiership, and that Sir William Vernon Harcourt will become leader of the House of Commons.The Standard, Conservative, says there is no doubt that the retirement of Mr.Gladstone can\u2019t be long delayed, and in a kindly way it refers to the portional aspect of the event.It wounld deplorable, it says, if any one in the Opposition should view his retirement with indifference.The Standard predicts that his withdrawal will lead to the disruption of the Liberal party.The Dail$ Chronicle says the situation has undergone a rapid change in a tew days.The situation that was enunciated in the Biarritz despatch no longer exists.The retirement of Mr.Gladstone is a matter of the near future.The man whom the Liberal party would summon to its headship with preponderating preference is Lord Roge- bery.Mr.Labouchere is the centre of the Opposition to his candidacy mainly becanse he is à peer.The Irish would be inclined to support either Lord Rosebery or Lord Spencer, but would certainly claim pledges regarding Home Rule from any successor to Mr.Gladstone before giving their votes.This Times regards the official denial of the reports ot Mr.Gladstone\u2019s resignation as equivalent to a decision to postpone what has virtually been determined upon.It expresses the opinion that after Mr.Gladstone\u2019s retirement nobody will be able to hold together the diverse elements composing tne present majority in the House of Commons.Lord Rosebery would be incessantly intrigued against by the Radicals, who would probably receive the support of the Irish.Hy.Labouchere\u2019s Truth says : It would be childish to ignore the fact that the withdrawal of Mr.Gladstone may come at any moment.It behoves us therefore to consider his successor.The successor of Mr.Gladstone must be a people\u2019s minister.On this depends the question whether the Radicals who have ou majority in the constituencies are to rule or to be fooled.Mr.Gladstone's successor must be a commoner.A lordly premiership would very soon break up the Liberal party.Moreover, at the present moment for the Liberal party to go to battle under a peer, would be the climax of absurdity.Provided he be a sound Radical and a commoner, we care little who succeeds Mr.Gladstone.GLADSTONE AND MORLEY.Denounced at a Meeting of the Irish National League.DusLiN, Feb.27.\u2014The Dublin branch of the Irish National League held a special session last night, at which the following resolution was passed: \u2018We avail ourselves of the presence of Mr.Morley to point out that he and the Government have failed to keep the promises made to Ireland.\u201d John Barry, M.P., for South Wexford, Parnellite, made à speech, in which he expressed a lack of confidence in Mr.Morley, and alluded to Mr.Gladstone as the \u201cGrand Old Humbug.\u201d Violent speeches were made against Mr.Gladstone and Mr.Morley at a largely attended amnesty meeting held here Sunday.Cork, Feb.27.\u2014The visit to Ireland of Rt.Hon.John Moriey, Chief Secretary for Ireland, has caused a demonstration of the feeling of resentment which Home Rulers have cherished against him since his refusal to receive a deputation of the Evicted Tenants\u2019 Association.Mr.Morley based his refusal on the ground that the Government intended to introduce a reinstatement bill at the next session of Parliament.This treatment led the Evicted Tenants\u2019 Association, of Cork, to return to the principles of the Old Land League, and théy appointed a vigilance committee, whose duty it was to see that the boycotting of the land grabbers was enforced.Yesterday the Fenians placarded green posters paddled in large type with the word \u201cAmnesty.\u201d The placards declared that Daly ana other Irish martyrs are dying by juches in England\u2019s prisons, whiie Mr.Morley\u2019s promise to release the political prisoners 1s still unfulfilled.Continuing the placard reads: \u201cFrance and the nited States have granted amnesty to political prisoners.Shall England be the only nation in the world to refuse?Speak John Morley.Ireland demands an answer.God Save Ireland.\u201d i» ES ONTARIO\u2019S FINANCES.-=#\u201d The Public Accounts Laid Before the Assembly.ToroxTO, Feb.27.\u2014The provincial pub lic accounts were laid on the table of the Legislative

expenditure during the year in connection with the Chicago World\u2019s Fair amounted to $84,834.72.During the year also the sum of $159,690.30 was expended in completion of the new parliament

Lotbiniere Talks About His Ontario Tour.His Message of Peace From Quebec to Ontario Was Well Re- ceived\u2014Ontario Opinions of Hon.Wilfrid Laurier, Liberal Leader.the (Special to The Herald.) QUEBEC, Feb.27.\u2014Hon.Mr.Joly de Lotbiniere returned this afternoon from his visit in Ontario.Interviewed this evening by your correspondent, the hon.gentleman declared that he brought a very good impression of his visit to the great sister Province.He was the bearer, he said, of a message of friendship from the people of Ontario to the Province of Quebec, and he spoke with great pleasure of the words of sympathy of the Hon.Mr.Mowat and so many other leading men at the mectings that took place at Toronto and Kingston, observingthat all that is required to restore trust and confidence between Ontario and Quebec is that the people of these Provinces should learn to understand one another better.To a question about the P.P.A., he answered that in his opinion the fanatical association was but a political movement in favor of the Tory party, instead of a serious national and religious movement, and that it created a far greater sensation in the Province of Quebec than in Ontario.He remarked that on all the occasions he spoke of the dreadful P.P.A., and dealt with the ridiculous fact of an association apparently organized in order to protect the large Protestant majority of Ontario against the small Roman Catholle minority, his hearers laughed and received his remarks with loud applause.\u2018Although many Tories were present,\u201d he said, \u2018\u2018and probably some members of the P.P.A.There was not a single discordant voice in the large and representative meetings I had the honor to address.Besides you no doubt haye read in the papers of Ontario the impression created upon the public of that province by the good I was pleased to say of my French- Canadian fellow citizens of the Province of Quebec.\u201d \u201cWhat is the public sentiment in Toronto and Kingston as to Hon.Mr.Laurier?\u201d asked your correspondent.\u201cWell, my visit in Ontario was not a political one.1 went there as a citizen who belongs to the Protestant minority of Quebec to tell of our relations with the French- Canadian and Catholic majority with whom 1 am proud to say I have been in contact for a great many vears, and have learned to know them most favorably, But I can tell you that all those with whom I incidentally spoke of Mr.Laurier, Tories as well as Liberals, openly manifested the greatest respect and admiration for the chief of the Liberal party of the Dominion.I could not say the same thing of Sir John Thompson, the Premier of the Dominion.Speaking afterwards of his visit in Toronto, Mr.Jolv said that he had been invited to attend the great representation of \u201c\u2018Antigone\u201d at the Toronto University by a friend and that as soon as it was known that it was his intention to stay there three or four days the Toronto Liberal Club spontaneously asked him to address a meeting of that Club which he accepted with great pleasure.That invitation was immediately followed by another one from the Liberals of Kingston.\u201cAll that I said in favor of my French.Canadian fellow-citizens,\u201d concluded Mr.Joly, \u2018\u2018was received as an agreeable message of peace and for some it was quite a revealing, and 1 sincerely hope that my | efforts for harmony between the different elements of the Dominion will not be an uneffective one.\u201d MARINE HOSPITAL LAWSUIT.It is announced that the Department of Marine ond Fisheries is about to take action against the Convent of the Good Shepherd for a sum of $50,000 claimed on the purchase in 1891 by that institution for $52,000 of the building formerly known as the Marine Hospital.On taking possession $5,000 were paid, and the balance is payable in annual instalments of $5,000, with interest of six per cent., that interest to run from the passing of the deed, as soon as possible after taking possession.A dispute arose on the terms of contract which lasted for two years, and was terminated by the Government yielding the points disputed, but then another arose on the interest which the Good Shepherd refused to pay, appealing to the stipulation that it should be payable only after the passing of the deed.This was also settled by the payment of capital and interest without reserve, the Government ( engaging to grant a petition of right to determine the question of the latter and issuing letters patent.The present trouble is caused by the date of these letters patent, which are dated 1891, a few days after the taking possession of the hospital building.The acceptance of these, it is contended by the Good Shepherd, would prejudice its rights in the payment of the interest money, and as the Government refuses to recede, Mgr.Begin has authorized the community to contest the demand in the courts of iaw.The final and primary examination of the Medical School will take place on the 16th of March at Laval University, Quebec.FIREMEN MAY STRIKE.© Toronto Laddies Dissatisfied Over Reduced Wages.ToroxTto, Feb.27.\u2014It is freely rumored that the firemen of the city may at any time go out on strike.They are much angered at the 5 per cent.reduction in salary, which takes place in March, and it is said, have decided on the most desperate measures.They refuse to talk about the matter, but do not deny that a general strike of the men may occur at any time.One of the officials at the Central Station stated this afternoon that he would not like to say anything about the matter as the chief was the only man who could speak with authority.The men, he said, were very bitter against the reduction, but so far no meeting had been held, and everything was orderly at the different halls.To friends who are not in the newspaper business they talk more freely, and are not at all backward in saying that a strike, and a determined one, is on the tapis.Sovereign on Strikes.MINNEAPOLIS, Feb.27.\u2014Grand Master Workman Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor, addressed an audience of 150 people at the Lyceum Theatre to-night.He said, Tam opposed to strikes, during the six years that I was chief officer of the lowa State Assembly of Knights of Labor I never ordered a strike.Strikes are failures, even when they are successful.They are insur- rectionaryzin their character.They settle no great moral issue.They remove no greater barrier, which is in the way of the prosperity of the laboring man.ROYAL TEMPLARS MEET.Annual Assembly of the

PRICE, THREE CENTS.WILL CONFIRM PEACE, \u2014_\u2014 Chancellor Von Caprivi on the Russo-German Treaty.THE REASON FOR ITS ADOPTION.Debate in the Reichstag on the Important European Question\u2014 Caprivi Says He Will Conclude What Bismarck Commenced\u2014 Rejection of the Treaty Would Affect International Relations.BERLIN, Feb.27.\u2014In the Reichstag today, Chancellor Von Caprivi made a masterly defense of the German-Russian commercial treaty, taking full advantage of the weak points of all of the previous arguments against the measure.Towards the close of his speech the Chancellor read a portion of a speech delivered in the Reichstag by Prince Bismarck in 1879, on which occasion the old Chancellor declared that either he himself or his successor must endeavor to conclude a commercial treaty with Russia.Chancellor Von Caprivi then said impressively : Gentlemen.\u2014It was reserved for his successor to conclude that treaty.- Chancellor Von Caprivi dwelt at great length upon the advantages of the treaty to German interests among them being its influence upon the cordial feeling at present existing between the two empires.If the treaty should not be adopted he declared the relations of Germany with Russia would be seriously affected.He warned the House that an economic war between the customs officials of the two empires could not be waged eternally, but the adoption of the treaty would confirm the peuce of Europe.The Chancellor said the adoption of the treaty would create a bridge between Germany and Russia, cementing their peaceful relations.The insinuations of the Opposition press that there were dissensions in the Prussian Cabinet over the measure were absolutely untrue.The builders of the treaty were in complete accord.He did not doubt there were many who would have liked to see him fall in building the scaffold, but his imperial master was firmly convinced of the necessity of the convention and had enabled the negotiations to proceed smoothly and successfully, Herr Von Kardoff, free Conservative and Agrarian, spoke in opposition to the treaty.He held that the advantages of concluding commereial treaties with countries having a fluctuating currency like Russia, would prove illusory.The present measure was not such a treaty as Prince Bismarck would have presented.The Agriculturists could have confidently relied upon Bismarck, providing some compensation or some guarantee of protection to their interests.The agriculturists were still ready to accept some reform of the cut- rency as partly compensating for the measure under discussion.Herr Koenig made a violent attack upon the treaty, and Herr Von Benningsen enlarged upon its commercial and political advantages to Germany.Herr Tuts, Couservative, contended that the proposed reduction of 15 marks duty on Russian grain imports would have the effect to reduce to the same extent, the price of grain raised in Germany.If the Reichstag had known that the passage of the Commercial treaty with Austria involved the other treaties the House would never have assented to that measure.The Government had unfairly kept its intentions with regard to other treaties secret.Chancellor Von Caprivi, here interrupted the speaker and reminded the House that when the Austrian treaty was concluded the Government had repeatedly stated that other treaties would follow.2 In the course of his speech, the Chancellor said that the leading ministers of Austria and Italy had congratulated him upon the conclusion of the treaty with Russia, expressing satisfaction that it would help the Triple Alliance to maintain the peace of Europe.Germany, he said, had to pay a good price to secure the commercial treaty with Austria, but she paid Russia nothing.The treaty with Russia would rather open up additional sources of German trade.\u201cWe do not care,\u201d said the Chancellor, \u201cfor martial glory.The only fame we desire is that of having solved problems con- gerning the social and intellectual improvement of the people enabling nations to live together peacably, and preparing the way for the possibie binding together in the future of a larger group of nations in a great common economic policy.\u201d Unemployed of Toronto, ToroxTo, Feb.27.\u2014Three or four hundred men out of employment were down at the City Hall this morning.Scores of them crowded into the Mayor's office, and demanded that something should be done immediately for their relief, either in the provision of work, or in the distribution of the Relief Fund.A good many subserip- tions were received this morning to the Relief Fund.Postal Telegraph Cable Co.New York, Feb.27.\u2014At the annual meets ing of the Postal Telegraph Company held in New York to-day, the

\\vere present, and a hearty reception was given eachskateron hisappearanceon the ice.With one or two exceptions the races were pretty closely contested.In the mile race or the club cup, the skaters did the usual loaf act, notwithstanding repeated warnings.However, as they did not finish within 10 seconds of the limit which was 3 minutes 30 seconds, the race was called off, and the cup withdrawn to be raced for at a future date.The 220 yards\u2019 race was fast, D.Brown taking the final in 22 sec.The two-mile open was a walkover for Gordon, Ritchet, the other contestant, being lapsed.Gordon kept right at it, however, doing the first mile in 3.21 2-5 sec., and the two miles in 6.57% sec.Following are the results of each race: 220 yards\u20141st heat, D.Brown, 1st; W.Irwin, 20d.Time, 22

hold championship races every year in Wianipeg for Manitoba and the Northwest Territories.The races as they ave held now, while no doubt settling the title of championship, are vot recognized by any authority, and consequently no outside skaters take any interest in them.If held under the cuspices of some crganization they would be given more prominence, and therefore be more important.None of the provinces in Canada hoid championship races, and it would be a feather in Manitoba>s cap if she were to take the initial step in that direction.It is probable that early next.winter the Victoria Hockey Club will apply for authority to hold the races.HOCKEY.Montreal\u2019s Chances for the Championship Pepend on This.Next Friday cvening, in the Crystal Rink, the old time rivals, the Montreals and Crystals will meet for the second time this year.Considerable interest isattached to the result of this match, as it will practically decide Montieal\u2019s chances for the championship.Should Montreal be defeated they will be out of the race.The Crystals are practising steadiiy, and will do their utmost to attain victory.Their team will be strengthened by the infusion of new biood, so that a good game may.be looked for.TURF.Patition Wins the 2.44 Class Easily at Hamilton.HammroN, Feb.27.\u2014The three days races on the ice opened to-day under favorable auspices.A crowd of about 1,200 people witnessed the events, but there was much scoring and ia consequence enly one event was tinished this afternoon, The ice | was in good condition this morning but the \u2018 sun came out very strong and made it a SOR soft 1 i and rather slushy as the day wore on.The | nool sellers did a fairly good trade.The first event was a 2.44 class trot or pace.The starters were: E.James\u2019 (Toronto) Sir Harry; A.Brown\u2019s (Dundas, Ont.) Leotard; W.Ferris (Brantford) Peerless; J.Kenny\u2019s (Hornellsville, Pa.,) Petition; J.Stephen\u2019s (Berlin), Stephen R.; J.Northgrave\u2019s (Drayton), H.Caldwell, and H.Scott\u2019s (Caledonia, Ont.,) Bryson.Petition sold a hot favorite in pools, and proved herself worthy of the confidence by taking three heats without much effort.Sir Harry took second place in each heat, and Bryson got third place in each of the three heats.The rest of the field were never in it for a place.The time in each heat was 2.27, 2.264, 2.26).The second event was the slow local.Four heats were finished when it began to get somewhat dark, and the judges decided to finish it to-morrow.The starters were ull local horses as follows : W.Anderson\u2019s Lady Fulton ; J.Hemming\u2019s Gypsy ; B.J.Farmer's Geo.F.; W.Gowland\u2019s Russell; C.F.Fill- man\u2019s Jupiter ; J.Kirk\u2019s Dr.K., and J.Burb\u2019s Bay Tom.Jupiter was favorite in the betting, but was pushed hard by Geo.F.for first place, In the four heats trotted Jupiter won two and Geo.F.two, with Lady Fulton well up in third place.The best time was 2.40}.The judges were P.Leaf, John Gorman, Toronto ; and S.Hammil.There will be a colt race between local horses, and an open race tomorrow, Sale of Muscovites.The sale of the consignment of trotting colts and fillies by Muscovite, record 2.18, son of Nutwood 2.18%, takes place at the Montreal Driving Park, Point St.Charles this afternoon will be conducted by Messrs James Stewart and Co.The success of the only colt which has been started in this vicinity, Lion Moscow 2.213, gives proof of the success of Muscovite as a sire of speed, and all the young ones which will be offered to-day show every indication of being fast performers.YACHTING.Yachtsmen Spend a Pleasant Eyen- ing.The St.Lawrence Yacht Club smoking concert which was held over Hall and Scott\u2019s last night was voted to be a happy idea on the part of the Commodore.As a social reunion it was a complete success.It brought together over 100 members of the club who thus had an opportunity of discussing the probabilities of the coming season, and it is safe to say that the enthusiasm aroused will not wane until the chilling frosts of autumn are on the river and lake.The chair was occupied by Commodore Morris, who was assisted by Vice- Com.Wells and Rear-Com.Davidson.Among those present were a large contingent of St.George\u2019s snowshoe men, who postponed their usual weekly tramp in order to nccept the hospitality of the yachtsmen.The M.A.A.A.was also largely represented.The programme was opened by Mr.George W.Stephens, jr., whose fine voice showed to advantage in \u2018\u2018 The Holy Friar.\u201d The quartette, led by Mr.J.C.Barlow contributed several part songs.Mr.C.B.Morris recited \u201cThe case of Murphy\u2019s Bar,\u201d and Mr.Barlow sang \u201cOver the Hills and Far Away,\u201d Mr.Smith\u2019s coster song \u201cSuch a Nice Man Too,\u201d was so vociferously applauded that the rule against encores had to be broken.Mr.G.Duncker contributed a piano solo and Mr.Bedford recited \u201cThe face upon the floor.\u201d There are only a few of the many good things to which the members and their friends were treated.Space forbids mention of them all.Piper Mathe- son as usual delighted the sons of Scotia with his airs.During the evening refrosh- ments were served.Before the concert be- grn there was a special general meeting of the club, at which several amendments to the constitution were made.Steam Yacht Race.GENOA, Feb.27.\u2014An exciting stewmn acht race was run

Sullivan for a 325,000 race on the Thames as already published in the afternoon\u2019s papers.The champion and the ex-champion of the world at once had a talk over the matter and it was decided to immediately send a cablegram to The London Sportsman asking if the offer to row was bonatide and if so asking that Harding and Sullivan post a forfeit of five hundred pounds to bind the match.Having secured this, the oarsmen will then call a meeting of their friends to arrange matters.POOL.Levesque vs.Stevens.A pool match will take place on Thursday night at the St.Lawrence Billiard Hall, 39

excitement and passion to run away with our judgment until it has become the duty of those who wish well for athletics to preach a doctrine of retrenchment.We need a more sportsinanlike adherence to moderation and fair play.\u201d HARD TIMES IN TORONTO.Free Distribution of Bread Undertaken by a Newspaper.The Toronto Star has established a bread fund.The principles on which it is conducted are thus stated by The Star: \u201cNo order no ticket of any kind will be necessary to entitle the applicant to his or her share.It is presumed that all who come for bread will be those who need food and no restrictions will be placed on the distribution.We feel assured that none will take advantage of this freedom that only those in need will ask, and ask only such quantities as they need.\u201d On Saturday seven hundred loaves were distributed.Some of the incidents are thus recorded : A very respectable looking woman, not over 24 years of aye, with refinement written on every feature, was so benumbed with cold she couldn\u2019t turn the knob of the door.\u201cWould you mind getting me the bread, I don\u2019t like to go in,\u201d she asked me.I got her the bread, and as I gave it to her, tears gushed from her eyes and she staggered against the wall.\u201cExcuse me,\u2019 she said in broken words, \u201cbut I can\u2019t help it, I can\u2019t indeed.I walked all the way from Davenport road, and I ran part of the way fearing I would not be in time.I didn\u2019t mind the cold ; it is my children I care about.I have three all alone in a cold house, and they might keep warm if they had food.This will be a God-send to them,\u201d and she pointed to the bread.A gentleman who had heard her story handed her car fare.He was well repaid by the gratitude that beamed outthrough her tears.MANY CHILDREN COME.There were more children to-day than on Thursday.One little curly-headed girl who said that she would be six in \u201cune,\u201d brought her little brother.He was four years old, and stuck his fist in his eye as if the sight of so much bread was too much for him to comprehend.They lived on Amelia street.Their father was dead, mamma had the grip.They were both given large loaves.\u2018Tant we det some milk for baby?\u201d the little fellow asked me, and he wanted to cry when told that there wasn\u2019t any milk.FATHER AND SON, BOTH MEN.À tall,strapping man came in, followed by another in the last lap of life.They were father and sen.Both had families, and neither had work.\u201c1 won\u2019t eal a bite of this,\u201d said the son as he took his bread, \u2018\u201cit is for the children.\u201d He was given another loaf.\u201cI've lived in Toronto eight years,\u201d he told me.\u2018I'm a carpenter by trade, but I have earned only 60 cents this winter.In confidence I will tell you if it hadn\u2019t been for this bread, I would have got food some other way before night, if I had to go to jail for it.\u201d A mite of a boy wrapped up .in strips of a woman's dress wanted some bread for his \u201c¢ wee sister.\u201d He wasso \u201cwee\u201d himself that he could hardly carry the loaf.NO FIRE FOR A WEEK.Two little girls from Claremont street wanted some coal, too.\u201cWe haven't had any fire for a week, except at dinner time,\u201d one of them said.\u201cMamma could get some ironing to do if shie had coal.\u201d It was a hard job to tell those shivering little girls that there was not any coul, but they were each given a large loaf.= A youngster with a face like a doll toddled in with the following note : \u201cI would be glud to have a loaf of your bread, for I have four children and there is no cne to work for them but myself.My husband left me a year ago, and I do not know where he is.\u201d SUBURBAN NEWS.ST.HENRE.Health Inspector Brissette stated yester - day that he had just disinfected the house where the last case of scarlet fever had been.There is some talk of a uniform being provided for the new oflicers of the Health Department, The Council meets to-night.OUTREMONT.An electric railway is the latest possibility at this suburb.Certain property owners have signed agreements allowing the municipality to begin widening the Cote St.Catherine Road to eighty fect from St.Louis Street to the limits of the municipality, with the nnderstanding that the land taken for widening will Le expropriated and paid for after the improvement is carried out.After the improvement is made, St.Louis Street being already eighty feet wide, there will be an eighty feet boulevard from St.Lawrence Street to Cote des Neiges.The municipality of Cote des Neiges may arrange to continue it through its limits around the mountain.The Park and Island Electric railway company, intend to build their line as soon as the snow is off the ground, so that this is the chief object of widening the Cote St.Catherine road at once without the delay of expropriation.The electric railway will run along St.Louis street to the Cote Su.Catherine road, and theu, around the mountain.The company promise to have cars running early in the summer, and the St.Louis street line will make connections with the city by way of Park avenue.COTE ST.ANTOINE.The Cote St.Antoine Council held a special mecting last night.Mayor Redfern presided.There were present Counrillors Evans, McCormick, Ellscott, Walker and Hutchison.The object of the meeting was to settle the details of the by-law referring to a contract for the new mountain railway, The by-law was only partly taken up during the session.The Mayor, after a few clauses had been passed over, said the Mountain Avenue scheme wus likely to meet with à great deal of opposition.It would delay the work of the new railway.Section eight of the bylaw embodied \u2018the decision of Mountain Avenue, and he suggested its re-considera- tion.Hon.J.K.Ward said there were rumors about the street that some of the gentlemen acting as councillors were paid advocates of thie new electric scheme.Councillor Hutchison\u2014\u2018\u2018I suppose, Mr.Ward, you refer to me.\u201d Mr.Ward\u2014\u2018\u2018If the shoe fits, put it on.\u201d Mr.Hutchison\u2014-**I consider your statement an insult, as I wm the only advocate in the council.\u201d The Mayor suggested that they should confine their attention to the by-law.Section eight was passed over, and Mountain Avenue was adopted.; Other sections adopted, provided that the tickets should be five cents, for school children 10 for 23 cents.The discussion will be adopted.By Wire and Cable.Paris, Feb.27.\u2014The Senate

M.P.D., was unanimously renominated, New Fashions ia Gloves.In none of the minor items of dress has fashion wrought more marked changes than in gloves.; Years ago, the average woman wore gloves which it was a work of grace and often the task of an expert to put on to her hands.Now all this is changed; and, instead of semi-deformed, pinched-up hand, which sometimes more nearly resembled the foot of a chicken than the hand of a human being, we have symmetrical, easy, comfortably fitting gloves, which add inuch to the charm of a beautiful hand, and, when well chien, conceal the defects of one which lacks the minor points of attractiveness.; Very tight-fitting gloves are so entirely out of fashion that to wear them proves one ignorant of current styles.There is an increasing demand for gloves of heavier kid than those which have been for sdme seasons popular.There are firm, fine kid gloves which are much liked by English women, but have thus far found comparatively little favor in this country.Tourists who have become familiar with them are calling for them and as a matter of course they must be kept by the leading dealers.The Toilet.Almond meal and almond oil are the best soap and the best softener respectively for the hands.If your eyebrows and lashes are not what you would like in the matter of heaviness, try rubbing them every night for three months with vaseline.The only legitimate uses of powder are to soften the face\u2014\u2018\u2018take ths shine off,\u201d it is usually called\u2014and to prevent too copious pewspiration in warm rooms, and the like.The woman who uses it in quantities sufficient to conceal facial blemishes makes herself a ghastly and mos{ unpleasant- looking object.Men are balder than women because their headgear is of such a heavy, impenetrable sort.The more air and sunshine can reach the scalp, the more luxuriant the growth of hair.A weekly sunbath and a daily bare-headed frolic in the back yard are fine things for the locks, and for the doctors, in this weather.\u2018The Work of a Moment.\u201d \u201cDid you ever write a letter, and just as you were finishing it let your pen fall on it, or a drop of ink blot the fair paper?It was the work of a moment, but the evil could not be effectually effaced.Did you never cut yourself unexpectedey and quickly?It took days or weeks to heal the wound, and even then a scar remained.It is related of Lord Brougham, & celebrated English nobleman, that one day he occupied a conspicuous place in a group to bave his daguerreotype taken.The picture was taken, but his face was blurred.\u2018Do you ask what application we would make of these facts?Just this: \u2018It takes a lifetime to make a character; it only takes one moment to destroy.\u2019 ** \u2018Watch and pray,\u2019 therefore, * that ye enter not into temptation.\u2018Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.\u2019 \u201d The Best 3ananas.In selecting bananas it is well to remember that the fruit which is largest, the deepest yellow, and the least angular is, | as a rule, the best.One who bas become banana-wise through looking info their culture in Jamaica (wheze most of the- bananas that come to our market are grown) denies the current belief that bananas are ripened on the plant in that country, and therefore much superior to those that are cut green.Once a Siberian Exile, Mrs.John Braddock, a native of Han- gary, who was sent to Siberia for expressing political opinions in St.Petersburg, was said to be 80 years old when she escaped from Siberia and made her way

loyalty to her friends.This trait embodies many other estimable ones, &nd is the basis of a lovely and noble character.To begin with, the woman who is truly loyal never even thinks evil of those whom she has chosen to closely associate herself with, let alone expressing senti- pearing derogatary, therefore backbiting and unfriendly gossip never finds place among the natural failings that even the most perfect being possesses.When a woman has been tried and has stood the (est there should well up in the heart of 80 staunch a friend a great fountain of thanksgiving, for it is a lamentable, but painfully true fact, nevertheless, that there is something in feminine nature that combats a genuine Spirit of loyalty every step of the way.Petty Jealotsies, suspicion, whether well grounded or not; envy and eveu malice are more apt to make themselves visible in the attitude of \u2018one woman toward another than is ever felt in man\u2019s dealings with man.The hardest censure and severest judgment always emanate from critics of the gentler sex, therefore the woman who has proved herself loyal through good and evil report alike has shown herself to be a Tara avis that should be highly prized by those so blessed as to call her friend.\u2014Philadelphia Times.tne Time Required.With a well-balanced feed, 90 days is ample time in which to prepare an animal for market.Where the more

ring Openings in Montreal Yesterday.\u2014 What Several Leading Stores Presented to the View of Those Who visited Them\u2014Fashions for the Coming Season\u2014Bonnets Will be Millinery SP Small.Yesterday was spring opening day in the Montreal millinery trade, and as usual the large showrooms of the various importing millinery establishments presented a gala appearance.The an- pouncement of these semi-annual events always proves an attraction to milliners from all parts of the country, and they were here in as great numbers as usual yesterday, as well as many other of their city sisters.Laces and guipure will, in all probability, hold a large part in the next season\u2019s fash- jons, as most of the patterns are provided with this kind of ornamentation.On the other hand, as ribbons are the necessary accompaniment of lace, they are rarely seen one without the other ; between them both they constitute the principal trimming, and, moreover, they are besides accompanied of a certain quantity of all sorts of flowers, especially roses, as well as of jet, gold and simili-diamond jewellery, colored ostrich feathers and ostrich fancies with or without aigrettes, open worked embroideries, passementeries, numerous light fancies of jetted and spangled tulle or gauze; such is the ensemble of the goods employed up to the present time 1n the trimming and ornamenting of spring hats and bonnets.| As to the hats themselves, they are in general of medium sized dimensions, and the much contorted brims seem to be entirely discarded and replaced by perfectly flat brims with domed tops.| In a general sense, the actual fashion has decided in favor of straight brims, and they are likely to last until the next change brings higher crowns, when these, in their turn, will alter the disposition of the brims.; .Many ostrich tips are posed in various dispositions without any adopted rule.White and light shades have been substituted for black, also a few plumes.They are short yet, but will likely attain thew usual length as the season advances.Flowers have a very good prospect in sight.Quite a profusion of them is seen on all the hats, and principally roses made into tufts, aigrettes and bandeaux; for the latter, crushed roses being used in preference.All are made of muslin crape, silk, and oft times satin mixed with velvet.Aside of roses are noticed daffodils, lilacs, poppies, cowslips, lilies of the valley, variegated marigolds, small African marigolds and orchids.Violets still enjoy a good vogue; every variety of them is being used, the Parma violet, the wood violet and the Russian violets, in silk velvet or cloth.Leghorns are still in fashion, and trimmed with a delicate broad ribbon and ostrich mounts of the shade of the hats the effect is charming.But the lace hats are elegant and the patterns from Paris are beautiful and costly.For, say, twenty-five dollars a young ladv could get something like this :\u2014A cream point lace carelessly laid upon a wire shape, a sprig of flowers, heliotrope and violet; a delicate satin ribbon of a pretty salmon shade, in large bows, and ospreys of a delicate heliotrope.It is so charming that we would like to see the head that could wear it becomingly.But there are other hats of all shapes and shades to suit all persons.Colors are important, and fashion has a ruling in regard to this too.Those in fashion this season may be classified as follows : White, cream, pink, wood, mordore, bluish greys, very fresh green, a little of the poppy red, and the whole series of light yellows, wheat, maize, straw and cinnamon.Passing on, the observant spectator who visits the millinery opening will see that in silk goods, moire, satin and peau de soie are the most prominent ; ribbons show a greater variety of patterns ; most all the plain ribbons are double faced, as, for example, antique moire faced with satin.Fancy patterns are but of very simple dispositions, and most composed of dots, stripes and small flowerets in a shade lighter or sometimes of two different shades.Though ribbons are often combined they are none the less used singly for making up the large bows which actually stand at the back ot hats; thus placed, they constitute the most important part of tnis season\u2019s trinming.Bonnets are small.One of the latest novelties in straw bonnets is the Czarina.\u201d That bonnet is very elegant, with the trimmings and colors blended as follows : Sky blue and white.pink and Moss, brown and sky blue, serpentine and chrysanthemum.Serpentine is a new shade and is between a coral and salmon and chrysanthemum, which is also new, is a sort of terra cotta.Of Interest to Women.When a club woman begins to burrow in libraries and among old statistics for data for her papers, very little escapes her search.A member of the Woman\u2019s Literary Club of Baltimore, contributing a paper on \u201cThe Booths\u201d to an \u201c\u2018afternoon Pith the authors

in Africa.The first English edition was published in 1882.I have made stories ever since I could remember; long before I could write, I used to scribble on sheets of paper, imagining that I was writing them.I began \u2018An African Farm\u2019 when I was almost a child, but left it for some years before I finished it.\u201d * * * \u201cEnglishwomen,\u201d remarks Lady Wilde in her Social

Russias.The review of M.Waliszewski\u2019s book \u201cThe Romance of an Empress\u201d in The Herald of Saturday the 10th inst., calls to mind certain interesting passages in the life of Catherine IL of Russia which are brought to light in W.E.Curt®\u2019 \u201c Russia\u2014The Land of the Nihilist ;\u201d from the pages of which readers and travellers can obtain a pretty good idea of the monstrous isolated empire and most interesting country of Europe, of which we know so little.Curtis says, \u201cThere have been wickeder women than Catherine, but few; there have been wiser women, but few ; and there may have been greater women, but history conceals their names.\u201d In the Kremlin at Moscow can be seen the skin of the horse she rode astride ; her heavy sword and revolvers are there with which she killed many enemies; also hér jewelled uniform, her \u2018fur tent and her camp bedstead of iron, in which she slept for many weeks at a time in the snows of the steppes.In the Imperial Library at St.Petersburg are her state papers, her poems and stories, with which in hours of peace she occupied herself and amused her friends.The Hermitage or favorite palace of Catherine, one of the few stone structures in St.Petersburg, is the handsomest piece of architecture in the capital, except the cathedral of St.Isaac.Here Catherine laid aside the role of Empress and assumed that of Society Queen : here she entertained statesmen, poets, philosophers, lovers and friends in a little theatre, where were acted plays of her own composition by people of her court.It is interesting to read a list of rules now hanging in a little frame in the antechamber of her drawing-room which were made and written out by the Empress for the benefit of her visitors the following is a translation : I.Leave your rank outside, as well as your hat, and especially your sword.IT.Leave your right of precedence, your pride.and any similar feeling outside the door.III.Be gay, but do not spoil anything.Do not break or gnaw anything.IV.Sit, stand, walk, as you will, without reference to anybody.V.Talk merrily, but not very loud so as not to cause headache.VI.Argue without anger or excitement VII.Neither sigh nor yawn to make people dull or heavy.VII.In all innocent games when pro- vosed, let all engage.IX.Eat whatever is sweet and savoury, and drink with moderation, so that each can find his legs on leaving the room.X.Tell no tales out of school.Whatever goes in at one ear must go out at the other, before leaving the room.Whoever broke the tenth rule was never again admitted to the Hermitage.To-day the Hermitage is the chief museum of St.Petersburg, and contains some of the finest collections in Europe if not in the world.1t is here that we find the largest and most valuable collections of coins and gems that are known to the world.There are over two hundred thousand specimens of coins, including every piece known to numismatics.Ths most important gems were purchased from the heirs of the Duke of Orleans\u2014\u201c\u2018Philippe Egalite\u201d\u2014 the most renowned collector of jewels in history.In the rooms on the ground floor is to be seen the choicest collection of antiquities outside the British Museum; including the silver vase of Nicha- pol, and the golden vase of Kertch, both well-known to every antiquarian in the world, and the fruit of no end of scientific discussion.Catherine furnished the magnificent nucleus of this display of treasures of art and antiquity, to which, however, the later Sovereigns of Russia added largely.Mr.Curtis takes us pleasantly back over large tracts of time and country\u2014 mingling the historical past and the historical present with the faifhful hand of one who is accustomed to transcribe well what he sees, reads and does.Social and political life is touched on besides many odd features peculiar to Russian life.The police, the army, the palace and the home, the press and the church have all chapters devoted to them, and the manner of seeing things and getting to places is told in a brief, chatty 1X inches wide and nine inches long, À A te \u2018 style which outrivals that

\u2014Frank L.Stanton.MAKING A FUSS.A Peculiar Happening \u2018Whenever a We- man Does Well.\u201cThere is nothing in this world quite as tiresome as fuss,\u201d remarked a woman who had been eminently successful in her undertakings and had in her own career fully demonstrated the ability of a woman to do whatever she saw fit to take up, and do it well.\u201cI am so sick of this everlasting twaddle about a \u2018successful woman.\u201d I can\u2019t, for the life of me, see why there should be anything phenomenal in the fact of a woman carrying to a successful completion any ordinary branch of business.All their lives, woman have been in the habit of grappling with the most complicated situations, turning the shortest corners, putting up with all sorts of inconveniences and producing order out of confusion that would have made a man tear his hair in sheer despair; but just now, because she happens to have taken up something that women haven't been in the habit of doing, and because she seems to have done well at it, the papers and the pulpit and the public generally are oh-ing and ah-ing in a manner that is absolutely wearisome to the flesh.\u201cWhy can\u2019t these gushers and croakers and predictors of all sorts of calamities just keep quiet, and when a woman does something that no woman has ever done before, take it for granted that she can do not only that but almost anything else she sets about.It certainly seems to me to go without saying that a woman who can manage a large household ought to be able to do almost anything else which presents itself.\u2014 New York Ledger.TWO ADDITIONS TO THE ALPHABET.; The Letters j and w Unknown to the English Tongue Until About 1650.It is a fact not so well known but that it may be said to be curious that the letters j and w are modern additions to the alphabet, says a writer in the St.Louis Republic.The use of the j may be said to have become general during the time of the eom- monwealth, say between 1649 and 1658.From 1630 to 1646 its use is exceedingly rare.In the century immediately preceding the seventh it became the fashion to tail the last i when Roman numerals were used as in this example: viij.for 8, or xij.in place of 12.This fashion still lingers, but onty in physicians\u2019 prescriptions, 1 believe.Where the French use j it has the power of s as we use it in the word \u2018\u2018vision.\u201d What nation was first toyuse it as a new letter is an interesting but perhaps unanswerable query.In a like manner the printers and language makers of the latter part of the sixteenth century began to recognize the fact that there was a sound in spoken English which was without a representative in the shape of an alphabetical sign or character, as the first sound in the word wet.Prior to that time it had always been spelled as vet, the v having the long sound of u or of two u's together.In order to convey an idea of the new sound they began to spell such words as wet, weather, web, etc., with two us, and as the u or that date was a typical v, the three words looked like this: vvet, vveaiher, vveb.After awhile the type-founders recognized the fact that the double u had come to stay, so they joined the two v\u2019s together and made the character now so well known as the w.There is one book in which three forms of the w are given.The first is the old double v (vv), the next is one in which the last stroke of the first v crosses the first stroke of the second, and the third is the common w as used to-day.FIVE MILLION POURDS CHAPTER XIIT.CONTINUED.\u201cThen will you tell me how the thing was done?Why, you know yourself that neither Branksome nor Flinter had been near the Hall for weeks before the old man died, and they were a thousand miles away when the dose was given.\u201d I put my hand to my forehead wearily.\u201cAb, if I could only tell you how it was done! 1 have thought, and thought over everything till my brain has grown giddy.There is only one theory that has even a chance in its favor, and of that, alas! if it be the true one, we can never obtain the proof.\u201d \u2018And what may that theory be?\u201d asked Gregson, with an air of interest.I hesitated as to whether to reveal my idea to him, It was one which had oc- cured to me more than once during the long sleepless watches of the night; but 1 had said nothing of it to any one, chiefly, 1 think, because it was but, and in the nature of things never could be anything more than, a theory.Unless a miracle were to happen, no proof of it, short of the confession of the criminals, could ever be adduced.Still, it might be well to hear Gregson\u2019s opinion of it.\u2018May it not have been possible,\u201d I said, \u2018\u2018for a powder containing strychnia to have been secretly substituted by Flin- ter for one containing Mr.Mauleverer\u2019s proper medicine?In that case Flinter might be able to prove an alibi, although he was really the culprit; and Miss Stancliffe may have given tlie poison to Mr.Mauleverer, although perfectly innocent of any knowledge of its nature.\u201d I heard a low chuckle and looked up.DBielski had entered the room while I was speaking and had heard my theory.\u201cI beg your pardon, gentlemen, I knocked twice, but I could not make you hear me.You'll excuse me, Mr.Fenton, but I should like to tell you that you have got on the right track at last.As soon as Mr.Harding told me the facts I saw that a trick had been done in that way.But lor! What a pity Mr.Belmore didn\u2019t bring it up before the jury!\u201d \u201cI hinted at it to him,\u201d I replied, \u2018\u2018but he seemed to to think it would only damage our case, as no proof could be tendered in support of it.\u201d \u201cTrue, that is the weak point; but you know, sir, I suppose, that murder has beeu done that way before! Aye, and an innocent man guillotined for the crime of which he knew nothing.I think after all Mr.Belmore was right not to suggestthis while the mystery of the strychnia that the young lady had bought was unexplained.It would have been too far-fetched then.But things are different now, and the Home Secretary | Will have to think whether, after all, the | ' evidence will justify him in refusing à reprieve.For my part, Mr.Fenton.Lll ut up my moncy on a respite.\u201d \u2019 Bielski looked around evidently judged from the state of that gentleman\u2019s features that the screw had been applied to him not ineffectual- at Gegson and \u201cGot all you want out of tj gentleman?\u201d he asked.\u201cEnouel for the present, eh! Well then, my good fellow, take your hook into the next room and wait there till I come to you.Don\u2019t trouble yourself about the door.It locked and I have the key in pocket.\u201d The detective winked knowingly at the unlucky Gregson and in this uneeremoi- ous manner dismissed him from our presence.I his young 18 | my own CHAPTER XVI.THE SECRET OF THE CIPHER.\u201cGentlemen,\u201d said Bielski, when we were alone, \u2018I think I have somethin to say that will surprise you.He héld' in his hand the little memorandum book, the mysterious contents of which he had been studying while we had been engaged with Gregson.\u201cHave you discovered the cipher?Does it betray anything of the fellows secrets?\u201d I asked with eagerness.\u201cYes, sir; T have found the clew to the cipher.Do you know what itis?It 1s an old fashioned system of short hand, with some new abbreviations and arbitrary signs.You see I had to learn short hand for my own purposes, so I know all about it.\u201d \u201cAnd do you mean to say you know this system?\u201d \u2018Ol, dear, no! We are going a little too fast, if you'll excuse me, sir.It may take weeks to unriddle this; for at the best of times it is not always easy to decipher short hand.All the same, I hope we may pick the lock in shorter time than that.I have a friend in London who will help me.\u201d : \u201cAnd this is the surprising news you Lave to tell us, Bielski?\u201d interjected Harding.\u201cNo, sir, no.It is something more than that.You gave me this book as Flinter\u2019s.But I tind that it ls not his at all.lt is written by Francis Branksome, M.D.Here's his name upon the first page.\u201d He pointed to some hieroglyphics that to Harding and myself were quite unintelligible.Bielski, with his usual rapidity of movement, darted off that very night to London, hauling the unfortunate Gregson along with him.It wason the following morning that I had iny second interview with my darling.1 found her more altered than I had anticipated, The strain upon her mind had evidently been terrible during that week which she had passed in the grim solitude of the condemned cell, with nothing but a shameful death staring her in the face.How my heart overflowed with Jove and sympathy, when I saw her pale and worn, standing upright in the gloomy cell.awaiting me with a pathetic simile upon her white lips! It was long, before I could murmur even the first words of greeting.And even then, when I had found my voice, and when I had answered some of the many questions she addressed to me, I labored under serious embarrassment.I dare not tell her how I had been engaged during those days which had passed since we met before.I had written to her immediately upon wy return from the hall to let her know that the strychnia had been discôvered, but I did not venture to speak of those other discoveries for which we were indebted to Greson.And yet I could not leave her without some ray of hope to lighten her miserable cell.I am afraid that, ere I quitted her side, I had imparted to her a share of the agitation by which I myself was possessed.And yet I could not be sorry, when that brief interview of mingled bliss and agony came to an end, to think that her dear face wo longer wore that sad look of pathetic apathy and resignation which had distinguished when it we met.It was on my return to the hotel that I found a telegram from Bielski: \u201cCipher discovered.Most important.\u201d The detective evidently did not waste words in telegraphing.I was consumed with eagerness to learn what the important news night be to which we had now got the key.\u2018A gentleman to see you, sir.\u201d It was the evening of this same day, and I was sitting by myself in my room.The waiter held the door open, and Dr.Branksome, who must have adopted some special means thus to insure his admission to my apartment entered.\u201cDr.Branksome!\u201d I said, in astonishment.\u2018\u2018You here!\u201d (TO BE CONTINUED.)

MONTREAL, FEBRUARY 28.TUBERCULQSIS IN CANAL A.In his address in the Somerville lecture course on \u2018\u2018 Our Cattle Trade,\u201d Dr.McEachran acknowledges the existence of tuberculosis in Canada.This accords with the well known fact that a number of instances have been known in which many animals have been slaughtered in consequence of being affected by it.The Ottawa and Guelph herds are notable examples.The authoritics of these two institutions must have obtained much valuable data in their experience with it, and Prof.Robertson is going to issue a bulletin upon the subject.In the meantime in the interest of the consumers of inilk, butter and beef it is very important that a strict execution of the law should be insisted on.All sorts of statements are flying about in the papers and in conversation; many perfectly healthy herds are suspected and people are rendered suspicious of all dairy products to such an extentas to injure the trade and lessen consumption.Under these circumstances it is incubent on the authorities to make thorough investigation and condemn any and all infected animals to whomsoever they may belong.Dr.McEachran is the chief inspector for the Government and has supervision over all the quarantine arrangements and health matters of stock.He ought to make an official report and insist on the necessary expenditure being made to enable him to root out the disease completely.As he says in his lecture, Canadian stock have been veryghealthy.Pleuro-pneumonia and the Linderpest aïë unknown.Some years ago tuberculosis was rare, but it seems to be on the increase.The sooner it is tackled the easier will be the fight, and the earlier will be the relief.Its existence in Canada is a direct less to stock owners and a menace to the health of all our people.To-day if any one buys cattle he can never be sure that he will not introduce the disease in his stable.To-day the mother who buys milk for her baby cannot be sure that she is not introducing into its system the gerins of consumption.It is true the disease has not made very great headway, and we are justified in saying that only a few of our cows are neglected.The danger lies in our not knowing which these are, and in the certainty of the discase constantly spreading as long as a systematic fight is not made against it.The law provides for such a fight, and the executive must make use of their power.Probably some money would be needed to carry out the provisions of the law, but there is no more legitimate expenditure in view than such as will protect the public health.If no steps are taken at once it is the duty of some member of the House of Commons to bring the matter up in the House.It is in such matters as this that the farmers need a better representative in the Cabinet, one who knows about their business and appreciates the importance of their needs.THE ROORBACK INDUSTRY DISCOURAGED.has received a stunning blow.For the last thirty years at least every presidential campaigii has been marked by the wide-spread publication of stories about millions of English gold being shipped across by the Cobden Club to corrupt the American electorate into voting for Free Trade.If the falsehood had not been effective it would not have been so persistently used.There is now a probability, however, that the circulation of it in the future will be done with much greater caution than in the past.Just before the last elections a number of Republican papers published a cablegram from London which said that ¢ Edward H.Van Ingen,\u201d the London head of a New York jobbing house,\u201d had raised among British manufacturers half a million dollars to be used in buying votes for Mr.Cleveland.Mr.Van Ingen was very much surprised to hear this, as his only connection with the campaign had been to contribute $100 to the Democratic fund.He proceeded to sue the {Dalziel news agency, where the item originated, for heavy damages.The agency, by the decision of Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, published an abject apology, paid costs, amounting to $5,000, and contributed £250 to charity.Mr.Van Ingen then moved his batteries across the Atlantic.He began suits against every paper publishing the statement.The first of these cases, against The New York Mail and Express for $25,000, has just been concluded by a verdict of $4,000 and costs for the plaintiff.The other newspapers will now probably have to resign themselves to be mulet amounts, There will be little sympathy for these journals.It was an old stale falsehood which they published knowing perfectly well that it was designed and circulated for purely partisan reasons.Next in similar J pS time they will know better ; though they will have gained their wisdom dearly.The incident should be of interest to Canadian journalists and public men.In our election campaigns the American gold cry is one that is unvariably used against the Liberals, and even Sir John Thompson has been willing to serve à point with the mob by raising it.Of course, it is pure fiction, and those who circulate it know that itis so; but it does them a good turn and the beginning and the end of their political morality 1s a belief in the end justifying the imeans.Hereafter, however, with the fate of the American journals fresh in their memory, they will display unusual caution in using it.We don't suppose they will drop it altogether because, being singularly lacking in the creative faculty, they have to rely on the musty shibboleths and decaying methods of the past, and would be completely lost if they abandoned them.But they will probably be sonie- what less offensive in the proclamation of this \u201cdiscovery\u201d which is made during the process of every election; and we should be thankful even for small mercies.THE DEATH OF THE IMPERIAL FEDERATION LEAGUE.It was, it appears, Sir Charles Tupper who killed the Imperial Federation Mr.Robert Beadon, the secretary of this late lamented organization saddles the responsibility on him, in an article which he contributes to the National Review.He says: League.There have always been a certain number of members of the League\u2019s Council who regarded commercial union as à part cf teder ation, and a certain number also (very frequently the same people) who resented the idea that the colonies should ever be asked to make a veal contribution to the cost of Imperial defense, and of those services generally which exist for thecommon and equal benefit of all Her Majesty\u2019s subjects.Tue protagonist of both these views has been the High Conimissicner for Canada, Sir Charles Tupper.Of course, no one could call himself a supporter of Imperial federation and at the same time repudiate the last mentioned idea in terms.Sir Charles Tupper has, to be sure, always loudly proclaimed that the colonies would do their share and rally round the old country in her hour of need, and so forth.But his assent to the doo- trine of common responsibility for common objects has been purely academic.When it comes to the point of recommending that a colony should take a real and eifective share in the burden of Imperial defence, he falls back upon the plea that Canada, at any rate, has already done all that is due from her (apparently for all time).\u201d > However mistaken Sir Charles may have been in endeavoring to unite all the portions of the Empire into a zollverein, with a common tariff against the world, he undoubtedly represented Canada\u2019s opinion when he opposed the proposition that this country should assume a portion of theexpense of maintaining the British army and navy.Canada has many ties binding her to the Motherland, and if allowed to pursue her own course as a practieally independent nation developing under the British flag, the inevitable separation may be postponed for a century yet.But any attempt to impose upon Canada, which is struggling with many difticuliies of her own, the onerous burden of military taxation would bring about a rupture within a decade.Canadians are not Imperialists; and they are not going to contribute young lives and good money towards planting the Union Jack a little deeper in the jungles of Africa, or a little higher on the slopes of Himalayas.If Great Britain ever becomes involved in a great war, where her existence is seriously threatened, Canadian blood will be shed for her as freely as it would be for Canada herself; but until that evil day comes we want, in this country, to keep as far away as possible from the European curse of militarism.A BEEFSTEAK STORY, The Star's story of Hoke Smith and his pie may be capped by the tale of Tom Reed and his Dbeefsteak.The Washington correspondent of The New York Sun, tells us that at the Gridiron dinner the other night there was present a delegation of members of the Turtle Bay Beefsteak Club of New York as the guests of the Club, but, in accordance with the customs of their organization, the guests became the cooks, stewards and waiters for the hosts.At one end of the historic parler: of Wormley\u2019s, Hotel was a real kitchen, made all the more picturesque by a stage setting furnished by the National Theatre, re- interior of a typical London tavern with a cavernous fireplace, an old spinning wheel, with ancient muskets and cutlasses, curious old clocks, and other appropriate settings.When the doors opened, the members of the visiting club were disclosed in their caps and aprons.The steaks were cooked in the presence of the guests and served on bread, without theaccompanimentof knife, fork or plates.Cabinet officers, Senators, and other members of Congress, including ex-Speaker Reed, were the guests of this novel entertainment.Tab\u201d was kept of the gastronomic performance of the leading guests, and the climax of the evening was reached when Mr.Hay, on behalf of the Beefsteak Club, presented to Mr.Reed, as the guest wno had eaten the greatest number of heefsteaks, a medal, silver ou one side and leather on the other, and suitably engraved.Mr.Reed made a happy response, saying that he bad earned his trophy \u201cnatural capacity.\u201d With his skinful of beefsteak, Mr.Reed might have looked around Worm- ley\u2019s kitchen and said that he could see no sign of the distress which was alleged to exist in the United States.And his natural capacity for the burial of beefsteak would have been no greater than the natural capacity, in the matter of gullibility, of the man who could accept his speech as a conclusive protectionist presenting the through argument, THE TYRANNY OF THE COMBINE.The Globe republishes from The Herald the agreement which the Cut Nail combine obliges its customers to sign, and comments upon its outrageous stipulations as follows : The cost of this combine to the consumer s heavy, but even that consideration is of ess importance than the absolute power which the taritf gives to the protected manu- tacturer to control the trade of the country.First of all, the tariff virtually shuts the door to the relief which might be obtained by the importation of foreign goods.The manufacturers then form a combine, and not only fix their own prices for the product of their factories, but dictate to the dealers on what terms they shall sell.The dealers have no room to exercise their own judgment as to price, credits, cash discounts, or any of the other elements of the sale.Everything is cut and dried.They are obliged to abandon all right to privacy in the conduct of tneir business.They must report their sales to the auditor of the combine; and if the auditor does not choose to take their word he has the right to search their books and papers.Practically, he is clothed with all the powers of a public official under a most inquisitorialsystemof government.Ifhe does not obey he is subject to fines and penalties.Such a system is destructive of the dignity of commerce.It allows no scope for the exercise of judgment or enterprise.It makes the merchant a mere employee of the manufacturer.It prevails now in regard to a very large number of the products of industry, and its effect must be greatly to itapair the dignity, importance and _usefulness of the trading community in Canada.We speak of this as a free country, yet we allow one private class to say what price the consumer of an article shall pay, what wages the producer shall receive, and in what manner the trader shall transact his business.FREE TRADE AND ANARCHY.In a letter to The Toronto Globe, Stapleton Caldecott, a prominent member of the Toronto Board of Trade, a staunch Liberal and an uncompromising free trader, takes Edward Gurney to task for having stigmatized Îree traders as anarchists.Mr.Caldecutt writes : The man who gives the breath of life to anarchy is not the man who permits each man to make the most of his labor, but tae one who taxes another man\u2019s industry that he may acquire wealth, and in the doing of it gives an opportunity to form rings and combinations that dictate to the consumer what shall be paid for the articles thus produced.Of the class of protectionists which Mr.Caldecott here indicates, Mr.Gurney is a peculiarly exemplary member.He has been subjected, it is true, to interference at the bands of a labor union which has never been especially notable for its moderation, but it is equally true that his moulders have had to fight harder for a living wage than any others in Canada.WHAT HAS BECOME of The Star\u2019s tariff reform policy ?Once upon a time, not so long ago, it was shouting loudly for the grading down of the duties; but a change Las come over the spirit of its dreains.Now it is bending all its energies to force the Government into giving an increase in the iron duties which are now so lugh that a dozen combines lurk behind them.\u2018There will be no better test of where public men and journals stand than by their attitude on the matter of the iron duties.These duties are purely protective, because in many cases they are prohibitive ; and all genuine tariff reformers will be unanimous in demanding their reduction to a revenue basis.The Star will be on the other side ; but then it is not now, and never has been, in favor of à policy of reform.It is a High Protection organ.SIR OLIVER Mowar has won another victory in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.The Ontario legislation in the matter of assignments and preferences by insolvent debtors has been declared valid.The question submitted to the Committee was whether, in the absence of Dominion legislation, the Province might interfere in the interest of the mercantile community.The Ontario legislation relates to purely voluntary assignments.and on this ground the Committee held that the rights of the Dominion Parliament were not infringed.The Dominion Parliament was not over anxious to establish the opposite view.THE soup KITCHEN has been opened in Toronto.But in times like these the soup kitchen is less dreaded by the famished poor than by the advocates of our fiscal system.If men are hungry they should be fed, and after starvation has been driven off, they and their more fortunate fellows may discuss the causes of it all and prescribe the remedies The soup kitchen should not be an issue in politics.But as an issue in a common huinanity, it cannot be evaded.THE ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS are again busy with reports of Mr.Gladstone\u2019s resignation.If they keep at it they will probably be right in their surmise some time within the next ten years.CORRESPONDENCE.What Mr.Fisher Maintained.To the Editor of The Herald.Sir,\u2014In your morning's report of the meeting of Maple Leaf Assembly Knights of Labor you represent me as supporting, in an address to the members, the pretension that the economic and political dependence of the wage-earning classes was due to private ownership of land and the instruments of production, in other words of capital.What I did maintain was just the contrary, to wit, That neither past history nor present experience gave us any reason to suppose that the assumption by the State, or society as a whole, of the land and capital would result in increased economic and political freedom, but on the contrary would, for av least a very long time, inc:ease the dependence of the wage-earners in consequence of their being no choice of employers and also from the probability that all industries would be governed by political and not commercial methods, as is usually the case in State undertakings today.RoswELL FISHER.February 27th.1804.No other sarsaparilla has equaled Hood's in the relief it gives in severe cases of dyspepsia, sick headache, billousness, etc.MONTREAL DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FRENCH PRESS.A PRETTY 5QUABDLE.The reigning sensation in the French press is the article in which Le Moniteur de Levis solemnly condemns the attempt to place the Catholic schools of the North West \u201cunder the immediate direction of the Protestant element\u201d.It suys that in this case \u2018\u2018federal intervention prevents fewer inconveniences and becomes the more necessary since.as the Northwest is not completely organized and has not legislative independence, the Federal Government bears the responsibility to a certain extent of the legislation enacted by the ordinance of the council of the territories.\u201d Le Moniteur denies that it wishes to condemn the action which the Government has just taken, \u201cif events prove the efficacy of the remedy which it wishes to apply to the injustice which our compatriots in that quarter are suffering.Time will tell us if we have been right in trusting to human wisdom or if the application of hot iron would not have been preferable to the use of emollients in the treatment of the malady.\u201d It proceeds to state that the members of the sub-committee to which tle matter was referred were unable to agree upon a report, that Messrs.Foster and Daly were for refusal, and that Mr.Angers insisted upon disallowance.It demies that Mr.Ouimet was the dissentient member of the Cabinet, and says \u2018hat it does not know where Sir Adol; 1e C:ron and Mr.Costigan stood, but it ass.1t3 hat it does know that it is necessary, wiin the word in capitals, \u201cthat all of our ministers should stand together.\u201d It gravely denies the story that Mr.Angers and Sir Adolphe Caron have persuaded Mr.Ouimet to withhold his resignation, and says that had Mr.Ouimet a resignation to tender he would not be alone.In the event of the resignation of any French-Canadian ministerand theacceptance of his post by any compatriot, \u2018\u2018the Liberal partv could count upon our active aid to inflict upon these hungry office seekers the bloodiest of defeats.\u201d The article is concluded in a condemnation of Sir Adolphe Caron\u2019s recent defense of the Government before the Macdonald Club at Ottawa.La Liberte accepts the popular assumption that Mr.Angers himself inspired the utterances of Le Moniteur in this matter.Le Moniteur is Mr.Angers\u2019 personal organ.La Minerve in covert terms rebukes somebody for the betraval of Cabinet secrets, quotes the Cabinet oath of secrecy and calls Todd to witness that this seorecy is highly constitutional.n the main matter it has, of course, nothing to say.\u2018tho story of the resignation of Messrs.Costigan, Ouimet and Angers, which seems a natural corollary of all this, is accepted by many French papers.Le Canada, of Ottawa, aflirms its truth with exceptional solemnity.\u2018According to established custom,\u201d it says, \u2018\u2018the gentlemen who have resigned owe their chief a reasonable time for the reconstruction of his Cabinet.That\u2019s what explains the present interregnum, if the expression will pass.\u201d TOO GOOD TO BE TRUB.L\u2019Electeur says that private information from Ottawa inclines it to believe that the Government har decided to abrogate the Franchise act, ** one of the greatest political injustices that has ever been committed.\u201d *¢ À new revision,\u201d it says, \u2018\u201c would set the date of the elections too far off, and the Tovernment would not dare to brave public opinion to the point of making the people vote on lists three years old, disfranchising thousands of working electors, who woul be replaced by dead men and absentees.\u201d L\u2019Electeur gives the news for what it is worth, which prubably is net much, and adds, \u2018\u2018 The abrogation of the law would put the provincial lists in force, and we are at just that time of the year at which the striking of these lists is about to be commenced.\u201d It warns Liberal Associations to give their attention to the preparation of these lists.A MONGOLIAN INVASION.The recent outery of the French press against the Jewish people in Canada has been supplemented by La Presse in an article calling attention to the increase of the Chinese population of Montreal.This increase, La Presse says, has taken place in spite of the customs tax upon Chinese immigrants, which, it says, is inefficacious and easy of evasion.It is possible that the Geary law may be enforced in the States on April 30, and \u2018\u201cwe shall then be thneatened with a veritable invasion of the sons of Heaven.\u201d La Presse says that the Chinese laundryman, master or man, is able to work for $3 a week, whereas \u2018\u2018white\u201d laundrymen would earn from $4 to $9 a week.\u201cThe presence of a strong Chinese popula- lation in the great centers of Canada,\u201d La Presse concludes, \u2018would be the greater calamity for the workingman of the country, since the development of our industries 1s slow, and workmen replaced by Chinese workmanship would remain without employment.The Federal Government cannot relieve itself of this grave question and, in the interest of Canadian workingmen, should carefully consider the consequences of the enforcement of the Geary law, if it desires to preserve to the workingmen the benetits which they derive from the National Policy.\u201d JUDGE FOURNIER'S DECISION.Commenting upon the judgment of Justice Fournier of the Supreme Court on the Mani- are proud of this judgment, of this vindication of the rights of our people, not only because Mr.Justice Fournier belongs to our race, but because he was formerly one of the most brilliant chiefs of the Liberal party.Who does not recall the denunciations of which Mr.Fournier was formerly the object on the part of the clergy?.The conduet ot Judge Fournier, so dignified, so firm, is a great lesson.Long out of politics, at the zenith of a brilliant career, no longer expecting anything of anybody, he constituted himself the defender, the protector of the minorities.Ou the bench he continues to defend the principles for which he has fought all his life at the head of the Liberal arty.Pa On the other hand, Hon.Justice T'aschereau, who was always a Conservative, flattered and supported by the clergy when he was in politics, bas pronounced himself against the Catholic minority when his opinion was to decide its fate.We credit him with having yielded to his convictions, which we respect, but when all is said, it is nevertheless true that of the two Catholics who sit in the Supreme Court, he who has defended the minority is the former Liberal chief, the man who for thirty years has been ostracized by the clergy.\u201d OBITUARY.Toroxro, Feb.27.\u2014Rev.W.J.Maxwell, pastor of the Elm

recollection at oy point,\u201d continued Xeicher, «When next I came to my senses I was in an institution in Chicago, surrounded by à corps of doctors.It was winter time then.A friend recognized me thers, who had known me before my marriage.When I was well enough to travel he took me with him to Philadelphia.The next five years are an ab- colute blank.I had sufficently regained control of my faculties in 1888 to remember that I had at one time lived in New York, and I thought that I had a gife in that city.Sol came over hers on day.I had been a householder here, too, but where the house was I could not tell.Isoon returned to Philadelphia, and as the vears went by I became stronger mentally and physically.I made trips to this city occasionally, and my remembrance\u2018of my past life gradually became more distinct.\u201cOne day about four months ago I saw Mrs.Ulrich on thestreet.Her husband, Henry, had been my best friend.I recognized her, and she knew me.\u2018Why, I thought you were dead years ago,\u2019 she said.I asked her where mv wife was.She told me that she was living in her own house at No.383 East Twenty-fifth street, and was mourning me as dead.She had not married again.My friend Henry, Mrs.Ulrich\u2019s husband, I found had been dead for years.1 then went to my wife.She was dressed in mourning costume.I told her that I was poor and in feeble health, and that sheshould support me now as 1 had her in the old days.Her mother had died some years ago and left her the house in which she lived and several thousand dollars besides.I asked her where my louse was and what had become of it.She told me that it was in Ninety-ninth street, but that she had deeded it years ago to Henry Ulrich for a debt which he claimed that IT had owed nim.She had also given Henry an old watch of mine and some jewelery as keepsakes.\u201d ; \u201cMy wife told me when I disappeared she thought I had gone away with another woman.As time passed by she gave up the idea and put on mourning We never had any children.\u201d Mrs.Keicher and Mrs.Ulrich admitted that he had been away eighteen years, and that in that time they had never heard from him.Mrs.Keicher wore mourning in court.All the love which she ever bore her husband had apparently vanished.She did not intend to support him and she did not intend to have him continually annoying her.Justice Voorhis asked Murs.Ulrich if she was willing to return the watch and trinkets which she had received belonged to Keicher.Slie said that she would do so.Keicher denied the right of kis wife to have deeded his Ninety- ninth street property to Ulrich, and said that the @ebt for which it had been given had been wiped out before 1876.Justice Voorhis turned the evidence carefully over in his mind and said: \u201cYou, Mrs Keicher, once promised to love your husband ge long as you should live.You evidently don\u2019t love him how.and after his long absence there isn\u2019t any reason why you should support him if you don\u2019t wish to do so.It might be a nice thing to do, though, just the same.All I've got to say to you,\u201d he added, turning to Keicher, \u2018\u2018is that if vou don\u2019t cease anneying these women Il send you to the island.\u201d Sayings of Savage Races, The proverbs of savage races are generally pointed and pithy.The Basutos say, \u201cThe thief catches himself ;\u201d the Yorubas, \u2018He who injures another indures himself;\u201d the Wolofs, \u201cBefore healing others, heal yourself.\u201d In Accra they say, \u201cNobody is twice a fool ;\u201d 8mong the Oji, \u2018\u2019The moon does not grow full in aday,\u201d \u2018\u201c The poor man has Tofriends.\u201d A Pashto proverb says, A feather does not stick without gum.\u201d thers are: \u2018A crab does not brin forth Ë& bird,\u201d \u201cA razor cannot shave itself\u201d \u201cCross the river before you abuse the crocodile,\u201d \u2018\u2019Truih is only Spoken by a strong man or a fool,\u201d

their Rn | ge Mean 4 DUST Nir eisai ghe Various Processes Through Wheat Passes In the Mill.The noses on the inside of the mill are deafening.One who has never been in a flouring mill of the largest size cannot realize what a peculiar lot of noises are \u2018made by the machinery.As soon as the wheat enters the machine from the long spout which brings it down from the upper floor it falls between two rollers of iron\u2014¢chilled\u201d iron they call it, and very hard iron it is too.One of these rollers revolves rapidly, the other more slowly, in order that the separation of the coat, or bran, from the kernel may be more easily accomplished.The wheat first passes between rollers separated just enough to allow the coat to be crushed.It is then carried away to the top of the mill again, to & room where the sun vainly tries to shine in through the flour coated windows far above the city\u2019s roofs.It next passes over a wire sieve which separates the bran from the kernel proper.This bran, which contains much of the flour material, again passes down and is ground once more, this process being repeated four times, making five grindings, each one finer than the one preceding it.Each time the fibrous or bran portions are more completely separated, and at last the bran comes out a clear, brownish husk with every particle of flour removed.The inside part of the kernel has meanwhile been going through an interesting process.After the first grinding or breaking it passes to a big six sided revolving reel covered with a fine wire netting or sieve.Through this reel the finer portions of the kernels pass, coming out in what are called \u2018\u201c\u2018middlings,\u2019 a granulated mass which goes back to the rollers for another crushing.This process is repeated through five reels, all but the first being of silk.The last one has 120 threads to the lineal inch.The flour which cones out of the fifth reel, while white in hue, is yet not of the finest or \u201cpatent\u201d grade, but is classed as \u201c\u2018baker\u2019s\u201d or second grade flour.The middlings above referred to are purified by an interesting process.They are passed over a fine wire sieve, through the upper part of which a strong current of air is passed.This holds in suspense the tiny portions of fibrous matter which may have been in the flour, and at last, after this process of middlings purifying has been very carefully carried out, the flour appears a spotless, snowy white\u2014the \u2018\u2018patent\u201d flour, as it is called.In the process of grinding in this gradual and repeated way, the germ of the wheat, a tiny particle about the size of a mustard seed, is separated from the white flour.It is what one might call the life part of the wheat.If it were ground up, it would not leave the patent flour so white and powdery, so it is separated in one of the sievings and passes into the darker or lower grade flour.It contains, however, the best and most nutritious part of the wheat.The last thing that happens to the pulverized kernel before it is ready for market is the filling of barrels or sacks.Down many stories through a smooth tube comes the white or *\u2018patent\u201d flour.Under the tube is the barrel or the sack, as the case may be, and, as it begins to fill, a steel augur just the size of the barrel bores down into the flour, packing it carefully and solidly beneath the broad blades.\u2014St.Nicholas.-Yich His First Experience.John Smith was a clerk who had to work the telephone which had been newly fitted at his office.He will never forget his first experience with the instrument.On hearing the clatter of the bell he took down the receiver and heard his employer\u2019s voice asking for information concerning business.John was under the impression that as his employer was two miles away he ought fo put his hand to his mouth like an ancient mar- 1 the stage, who is paid sixpence from her husband and which originally | sory fo a Be p p a night to do \u2018Ship, ahoy!\u201d business.He accordingly thundered his answer into the transmitter.The answer came, \u201cI don\u2019t understand you at all.\u201d Smith essayed again and again, but with no better result.A happy thought struck him when he had recovered his wind after the tenth blast, and he softly whispered to himself, \u2018I wonder if the old idiot is deaf.\u201d His hair rose slowly on end as he heard the sound of his governor\u2019s voice coming softly from the receiver, \u201cNo, John, the old idiot is not deaf, and you can take a fortnight's notice.\u201d John now declares that telephones are frauds.\u2014Pittsburg Dispatch, Kier Hardie.Kier Hardie, the labor unionist mems- ber of parliament, is no fool despite his sartorial eccentricities and his diatribes against constituted society.His eneiiies t¥ied to deposit him in a cavity not long ago by procuring a firm of clothlers to offer him a suit of clothes free, caleulating to expose the transaction to Mr.Hardie\u2019s confusion.That gentleman, however, knew his men, and in reply expressed his willingness to accept the clothes if the firm would agree to pay its employees the union rate of wages in the future.That closed the incident.\u2014London Letter.\u2018 Corduroy Portieres.Corduroy promises to be a great favorite, both for hangings and for the coverings of divans and chairs.In some of its newest forms it is strikingly handsome, showing figures of a lighter tone upon a ground of tke same color, and in even the familiar plain it is both good and desirable.For portieres it is especially to be commended, as it takes rich, deep folds and gives just that sense of warmth and freedom from draft that is to be desired.Too Much of à Row.Sir William Fraser tells a good story of Brigham Young and \u201cThe Lady of Lyons.\u201d Young took his wives to see a performance of Lytton\u2019s play at Salt Lake City.When the agony was piled up, he rose, and, followed by his spouses, left the theater, exclaiming, \u201cI won't stand such an infernal row being made about one woman!\u201d\u2014Argonaut.A Countess Answers.The Countess of Elgin takes a great interest in ambulance work, and after attending the two necessary courses of lee- tures on the subject, she has received the diploma and the St.Andrew's Cross.Her answers at the examination were original, to say the least.To the question, \u2018What is the use of ambulance classes?\u2019 her somewhat paradoxical reply was, \u201cTo teach us what not to do in an emergency.\u201d A Dainty Device.Orange cups are the latest device of the silversmith, and they promise to gain favor rapidly with all lovers of the fruit.They are made to exactly hold one-half of a fine orange, and have spikes in the bottom, by which it is held fast, while the vulp can be easily eaten with a spoon.HOW ELOUR IS MANUFACTURED, | re 7 Sean, pee ae, ra \"CE JAGUARS.Their Great Si: +: Their Wonderful rth.We measured | jaguar\u2014an old male \u2014before taking off the skin; five feet and seven inches from nose to root of tail; the tail added would bring the total length to nearly eight feet.This was a good eal «bove the aberage, though I have Pa skins quite six feet long, not including the tail.The body weighed, I suppose, not less than three hundred pounds.This was the variety or species called cangussu by the hunters of Matto Grosso; on the Amazons it is the uriauara, or dog-jaguar.All over South America three kinds of jaguars are distinguished; naturalists at present regard them as varieties, but I confess I am inclined to side with the hunters who laugh at the idea that these three are the same.The cangussu\u2014the kind Bert had shot\u2014 is confined to the higher lands, never straying over the great swamps of the Amazons and Paraguay.The ground-eolor is pale tawny, almost white at times, and is irregularly covered with small black spots, which tend to run into stripes along the back.Besideshaving longer legs and tail, it is altogether a more slender animal than the onca pintada, called by the Amazonian Indians youarete-pacora-sororoca, or \u2018\u2018jaguar of the wild plantain,\u201d becaues it frequents swampy places where that plant grows.This is the common jaguar of the great river-plains, though also seen occasionally on the highlands.It is a deep tawny coat, with large black spots so arranged that they form little circles or \u2018\u2018roses\u201d on the sides, but sometimes run into stripes on the back.The onca pintada often attacks alligators and turtles, and it lives largely on fish.There is a curious story about the jaguar\u2019s fishing, which many travelers have told, though most discredit it.I have heard it from reliable woodsmen, who say they have watched the whole performance; and, for myself, I can see nothing incredible in it.The jaguar, it is said, lies on a projecting log and strikes the water gently with its tail; certain fruit eating fish, as the pacu, eome to the sound, imagining that a fruit has dropped into the water, and the jaguar scoops them out with his paw.That these fish follow sound I know, for I have often caught pacus with a palm-nut bait, dropping it gently on the surface of the water two or three times; the fish, attracted by the noise, soon appear, and even leap after the fruit as trout leap to a fly.This isthe common method of pacu-fishing on the Paraguay, and very good sport it is.The onces pintadas swim well, as I can attest.I have seen one swimming across\u2019 the river Cuyaba where it is a quarter of a mile broad.It is said that they cross even the Paraguay and Amazons.The third variety of species is the black | \u2018\u2018tiger,\u201d very rare to the Matto Grosso highlands, but common in the Amazonian \u2019 and Orinoco forests, This the largest and fiercest of all.At first sight the skin appears quite black; but on closer inspection still darker spots, similar to those of the onca pintada, can be distinguished.I may add here that the puma\u2014our North American species\u2014is also found all over South America, and in many places is very common.It is a pest to the cattlemen, from its propensity for earrying off young calves; but otherwise it is little feared, and for size and fierceness will bear no comparison with the jaguars.South America has also a number of smaller species, ranging from the spotted jaguar- tirica, nearly as large as a puma, down to the little gray and striped kinds hardly bigger than a domestic cat.\u2014St, Nicholas, Joy Inexpressible Another Boy's Life Saved Health Blighted by Scrofula and Hip Disease Perfect Cure, Happiness and Health Given by Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla.Exeter, N.H.\u201cC.I.Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: \u201cI cannot praise Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla enough for what it has done for my boy.Some four years ago, when six years old, George was attacked by hip disease ih his right leg.We had to get him a pair of crutches, with which he was able to move about, but became badly deformed.We had to have his right leg lanced just above the knee.In a few weeks a second sore broke out, both discharging freely.Apgonizing pains afflicted him, he could not bear to be moved, his growth was stopped and He Was a Mere Skeleton.He had no appetite, and it was hard work to make him eat enough to keep him alive.A few weeks later we had his hip lanced, and following this five other eruptions broke out, making eight running sores in all.We did all we could for him, but he grew weaker every day, al though we had three of the best physicians.As a last resort we were prevailed upon by relatives who had taken Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla with beneficial results to give the medicine a trial.We got one bottle about the first of March, 1892, and he had taken the medicine only a few days when his appetite began to.improve.When he had taken one bottle he could move about a little with his crutches, which he had not been able to use for the pres ceding three months, \u2018We continued faithfully with Hood's S8arsaparilla, and in 6 months he was Able to Be Dressed and go about the house without the crutches.He has now taken Hood's Sarsaparilla regularly for eighteen months, and for the past six months has been without the crutches, which he has outgrown by several inches.The sores have all healed with the exception of ome which is rapidly closing, only the scars and an occasional limp remaining as\u2019 reminders of his suffering.Hood's» Cures Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla in his case has truly done wonders, and he is daily gaining in flesh and good color.He runs about and plays as lively asany child.We feel an inexpressible having our boy restore to health, and as Says speak, in 22 highest terms of Hood's S rilla.®

This American classic has enjoyed a world wide circulation at its price of $1.25.It is now ofiered for the first time at a nominal cost to our subscribers.2.Lays of Ancient Rome.By Lorn MACAULAY.{BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED.) Macaulay's \u201cLays\u201d are instinct with the very soul of poetry, and are full of heroic action and energy.Like Scott's spirit-stirring ballads, they have a fine picturesque quality, with graphie breadth, and great 1Yalistic power of _xpression.The English, no less than the Itoman lays, have the breath of the battlefield and the sounding notes of the charge to battle.4.The House of the Seven Gables, By NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.This masterpiececf Hawthorne\u2019sis full of th imaginative charm of romance.In felicity o touch, its author is unapproached by any writer since hisown day.The work is, perhaps, the purest piece of poetic prose in all the range of American literature.b.Cranford, - By Mrs.GASKELL, \u201cCranford,\u201d in its gharming miniature painting and sketches of character, recalls the best of Jane Auslen\u2019s novels.1t is a delightful piece of old world social life in an English country village, descriptive of the feelings, babits, opinions, character and social conditions of the little community.The story is quiet earnestness and with fine literary ap- [itudcs in the writer.It is beautifully illus trated.6.The Coming Race, Iorp Lrrrox \u201cThe Coming Race,\u201d by Lord Lytton, is a clever and ingenious excursion into the realm of science, as the inventive mind of man mav find it in the coming time.It presents a curious but fascinating picture of the human environment, as we may see it realized in the next century, when hnman needs will be served by every resource of electricaland mechanical contrivance\u2014when \u2018the coming race,\u2019 for instance, will be enabled to exchange domestic helps for ingenious and mercury-footed automatons, and have atcommand every appliiance adapted to the marvellcusly changed social and industrial condition of things.7.Dream Life, - By Ik.MARVEL.(DoNALD G.MITCHELL.) There is a profound mental study in this world-wide American classic.1t contains a series of very vivid and picturesque studies of individual character and feeling.It has a fascinating power over the reader while its zraceful diction charms the literary appreciation and fills the mind with delightful, though sometimes pathetic pictures.8.Frankenstein ; or, The Modern Prometheus, By Mrs.SHELLEY.Like Mrs.Crowe's \u201cNight Side of Nature Mrs.Shelley\u201ds \u2018\u2018Frankenstein\u201d is a book every one should read.Its author has great imaginative power and a weird but original genius.There are passages in \u201cFrankenstein\u201d that appal the mind and make the flesh creep.Once read, the book can hardly ever be forgotten 9.A Book of Golden Deeds, By C.M.Yoxor This is just the book to put into the hand of youth, circulating a hecalthy morality, and rue manly and womanly sentiments.Few 26oks are better formed than this to develop and mould the tastes of the rising generation and encourage optimistic and patriotic ideas.10 Mossas from an Old Manse, By NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE Another delightful companion for idle hours athis collection of magazine papers, which fawthorne entitled \u2018Mosses from an Oid Janse.\u201d Like all hisworks, it is distinguished \u2018or its simplicity and truth.Its high literary rxcellence commends it anew to public favor 11.The Scarlet Letter, By NATHANIEL HgyTHORNE A romance Of intense interest, exhibitingex- traordinary power of mental analysis and gra- Hhic description.Tor an artistic exposition of Suritanism, as modified by New England colonial life.we have nothing like it in our litera- Lure.Like the best of Scott's novels, it is true at once to the local manners and scenic features of the age and place.12.Essays of Elia, By CHARLES LAMB These charming essays are full of gay humor, interspersed with many sly hits, happy puns and bright sciutillations of wt; carefully elaborated as they are, they are written with the utmost ease and grace, and composed in a pirit at once delicate and unobtrusive, Seeking nis material in the common paths of lifc \u2014even he humblest\u2014Lamb gives an importance to sverything and sheds à grace over ail.13.Vicar of Wakeffeld, By Ourver GorDsMITH.This beautifully illustrated cdition of a famous English classic will increase ils aitrac tions for those who recognize the claim it has as essentially a \u2018home book\u201d for the whole reading world.Goldsmith has shed overthe work the tendcrest light of his genius, andthe pastoral scenes in it are unrivalled, we had almost said unapproached, by any other writer sf fiction.As Sir Walter Scott said of it, \u201cwe sead the Vicar of Wakefield in youth and in age, and return to it again and again, and bless the memory of an author who contrives so well to reconcile us to human nature.\u201d 15.Paul and Virginia, By BERNARDIN DE SAINT PIERRE This idyllic story, by a classic French writer of the wholeseme romantic school, is an immortal book, and has won a place for itself in the homes of almost every people who possess a literature and can appreciate the work of genius.It may, with some !iterary propriefy, be termed an idealized Robinson Crusoce, anc i has al the fascination of that renowncd work, It isa book that is sure to go down th centuries, charming as well as edifying genca.ations yet unborn.\u2018**Paul and Vieginia\u201d fitly finds a plag\u201d xmong the books of the \u201cPremium Library.\u201d I 16.Story of an African Farm.By (Rarru JRON) OLIVE SCHREINER.Under the nom de plume of Ralph Tron, Miss Olive Schreiner has written an extraordinarily powerful story, tnll of graphic descriptions an:l the most appealing pathos.The anthor seems to have followed no recoghized model of romance, but struck out a new path in fiction for herself.Her novel consists of a series of studics illustrating the wild life of an ostrich farm in South Africa, and setting before the reader, with striking vigor, the problems which trouble a strong intelligenee and an imaginative ambition.remote from any possibility of culture.\u2018The work which leaves an abiding memory on every reader is one of the post remarkable novels of the age, 17.Lays of The Scottish Cavaliers.By WM.EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN.These stirring ballads of Professor Aytoun, of Blackwood fame, have their only rival in \u201cMacaulay's Lays of Ancient Rome.Their popularity is not lessened by the fact that they arc to be met with in every school reader and in the repertoire of most clocutionists and platform declaimers.18.Lucile, - By Owey MEREDITH (ROBERT LORD LYTTON.) \u201cLucile.\u201d by the second Lord Lytton, late Governor-Geueral of India and British Ambassador at Paris, is a novelin verse, with thymed col p'ets, cast somewhat in the mould of Mrs.Browning\u2019s\u2018\u2018 Aurora Leigh.\u201d 19.Dreams.- By Orive SCHREINER Though unlike the \u201cStory of an African arm,\u201d \u201cDreams\u201d has many of the characteristics which made Miss Schreiner's early work famous.The book is both interesting and suggestive, and, besides its high meditative qualities, is rich in the discussion of those mental and moral problems which this clever writer delights to propound to herself and lay before the thoughttul reader.20.Black Beauty.The tale well deserves its great popularity, forit is wonderfully realistic, and makes a strong appeal to those who love dumb animals and possess the instinct of common humanity.It is a book to charm and impress all who have to do with horses, especially those who seek to suppress that inost 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 lire ina mimic world be- ore all men, aud another mysteriousinknown will always have for the people en the other side of the footlights.22 Sartor Resartus, BY THOMAS CARLYLE.Few men have given a mightier impulse to the intellectual and moral lifc of his age than Thomas Carlyle.He is perhaps the most profound, the most dramatic, the most imaginative, and the ruost original writer of the century.Wilh 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 Re- sartns\u201d (the tailor remade) is of the same unique type as Carlyle's own character.lt professes to be à review of a German treatise on dress; but iil s this only in an allegorical metaphysical sense, It isin reality under a figure of a vesture of clothes, a veiled metaphysics, according to which all things visible, especially we ourselves, are but à garment of sensuous appearance, Kvery 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 LUBBocK, Br.This is one of the most instructive as well as the delightful books of the time.It is written with a student\u2019s devotion.and interest, and the authors enthusiasm infects every reader.The book deals with the intellectual upbuilding and informing of the modern man, and will be found well nigh an education in itself.25.The Lady of the Lake, By Sir Warrer Scorr.This, the most popular of the great modern troubadour\u2019s poems, is of the same chivalria type as \u2018 Marmion,\u201d and the \u2018\u201c Lay of the Last Minstrel,\u201d though it is morerichly picturesque, as well as more interesting in plot.e same glow of national feeling breathes through the oer, the same felicity of description, the same ight and olor, the same instinct for ardi ave of martial ardor, with many inimitable touches of tender passion.Scott's fervid patrietism and love of country are equally distinguishable in the poem and animates and illumines every line, fa the power of simple narrative this famous metrical romance is almost unequalled, 26.Mornings in Florence, .- By Joux Rustkix, 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- critie, but perhaps the most lcarned as well as the most enthusiastic exponent of architee.ture.His \u2018Mornings in Florence\u201d are charming studies of the beauties of the historic Florentine capitsl, told with a lover\u2019s interest in art, and with much elevated thought andin- spiring reflection, The passages are man that fascinate the reader by theireloquence an suggestiveness.None has said truer or finer things, 27.Rab and His Friends.& Br Dr.Joux Brown.This inimitable tale, by a notable Scottish physician, one of Sie most genial of men, has wen its way to the universgl human heart.It is a pathetic story of canine sagacity ond faithfulness, for Rab is a dog, and \u201chis friends\u201d are an old Scotch carter and his wife, \u201cKilie.,\u201d The story tells of how the latter falls ill of a fatal malady, and is taken to the infirmary at Edinburgh.closely followed by her faithful attendant, who watches by her bed, day by day, and only leaves the hospital when his master comes with his cart sorrowfully te take his old helpmate home on her last journey.The story is beautifully and sym- nathetically written and is full of tender touches of human nature.BY ANNA SEWELL.22 These Books will be shipped direct when ordered by mail, or they will be delivered over our counter to callers on receipt of coupon and stamps or money.;

Sig.Crispi is a small eater and is a better judge of wines than of the preparations of his kitchen chef.He cares little for meat, drinks temperately of wine but never liquors, and never smokes.His cook is an Italian, as he manifests a preference for Italian dishes.After luncheon the Minister resumes his duties at his office and receives the numerous persons begging for an audience.In the early evening he takes a drive, usually accompanied by his daughter, a charming young woman of whom he is exceedingly fond.Since the unfortunate escapades of his son, which led to the young man\u2019s confinement in a reformatory, he lavishes all his affection on this daughter.The chief meal of the day, dinner, is eaten at 7 o'clock.Afterward he usually receives a few of his most intimate friends.The hours with these companions are the pleasantest of the day for him.He is an excellent conversationalist, and loves to recall instances in early life, when he little dreamed that he would be the head Minister of a reconstructed Italy.Like Bismarck, he is a bad listener, and his guests prefer to allow him to direct the conversation to his humor.At 10 o'clock the Minister returne to his office and remains there until midnight.He is in bed almost every night before 1 o'clock.Petroleum Bricks for Fuel.Brieks of solidified petroleum bid fair to become an important addition to our fuel supply, especially for export to countries and coaling stations remote from the world\u2019s coal measures.Coal briquettes are largely used in Germany and France, as they are to a much smaller extent in this country, But a metod of making a much more efficient fuel of the same size and of less weight has recently been announced by Senor Maestracci of the Italian navy.It is a mixture of 1 part petroleum, 10 per eent.of resin, 63 ounces of powdered soap and 1 pound of causticsoda.This is heated and stirred, solidification beginning in about 10 minutes.If then there is a tendency not to harden, a little more caustic soda must be added.The thick paste is molded and then placed for 10 or 15 minutes in a drying stove, when, after cooling, the petroleum briquettes are ready for use in a few hours, Twenty per cent.of saw- duss is recommended for making them both cheaper and more solid, though it must take somewhat from their heating value.Trials conducted on tugboats at Marseilles proved the efficiency of the petroleum briquettes to be about three times that of those of coal of the same weight.Used in the ordinary furnaces they required no special preparation, gave but little smoke and left but little ash.The absence of smoke and the large reduction in bulk compared to coal, combined with the decrease in risk compared to liquid fuels, especially fit these petroleum briquettes for marine use.They are likely to be very popular with owners of small crafts.EP\" What Chemistry May Do.It has been said that a century is the natural duration of the human body; that it decays earlier because it does not receive proper care in health and disease.In regard to this latter, here is a suggestion from a man who protests against so mach research in electricity to the neglect of chemistry.He says there are 72 elements of matter capable of entering into an infinity of combinations, and concludes therefore \u2018\u2018that a form of matter must be capable of existence, and must, therefore, be within the power of chemical research to discover and prepare which will possess an assignable or conceivable potency or influence over any form or species of matter, dead or living.\u201d If this be true, then it is possible to chemistry to find substances which will neutralize all the poisons generated by disease germs and kill disease the moment it is discovered.\u2014Pittsburg Times.Short Bits.The cost of an Armstrong steel gun is estimated at $300 for each ton of weight;

contract, 4 cars.Corn, 506 cars; contract, 91 cars.Oats, 207 cars; contract, 119 cars.Hogs, 30,000.To-morrow\u2019s estimated receipts are : Wheat, 18 cars: corn, 295 cars; oats, 130 cars; hogs, 29,000, Minneapolis received to-day, 119 cars wheat and Duluth received 89 cars wheat.A special from Chicago to-day said : Conservative speculators are buying wheat on all breaks, in view of the fact that the European reduction of interior supplies of wheat and fiour have been on an average of two million bushels per week since January Ist, and that at this time when Indian, Russian, Austrian and Argentine shipments were expected to be enormous, they are showing a marked falling off.F.L, King, of the big grain house of Toledo, says: lt looks now as though it would require another crop failure to enable wheat to reach the dollar mark again.The Increase in production in other parts of the world, coupled with the panic last summer and the effects of tariff agitation on general business have brought about the low prices.Two years ago, Argentine exported only ten million bushels.Now it has fifty million bushels to spare.India, in 1880, shipped only five million bushels and now exports from forty to fifty million bushels.This is uot very much compared with the two billion bushels which the world raises annually, but as the price for the surplus of the country fixes the value of the crop, this surplus has an important effect upon the general price, The visible supply of grain in the United States and Canada east of the Rocky Mountains at the dates mentioned below, and changes for the week were as follows : Wheat, Corn, Oats, bush, bush.bush, February 26,1894.77,258,000 18,171,000 2,831,000 Decrease.1,410,000 cee 449,600 Increase.\u2026 ce 384,000 .February 26, 1893.79,564,000 15,094,000 February 26, 1892, 11,110,000 10,386,000 Considerable attention hus recently been given a review of the situation as published in tbe Cincinnati Price Current, which served to show an unusually small quantity of wheat in this country at the beginning of another crop year, providing facts of supply and demand are borne out in line with the calculations, Having shown the theoretical position of wheat at the different times, and recognizing as a doubtful factor the volume of the 1893 crop, the exhibit is formed : 5,456,000 3,886,060 Remaining, July 1, 1893.121,000,600 Cropof 183.cc.viene iiire nnn 460,000,000 Total supply.000.00 iia, 581,000,000 Consumption 8 months to March 1.213,000,000 Exports, same time.120,000,000 Autumn seeding.PE 35,000,000 Distribution.8 months.368,000,000 Remaining, March 1, I894.213,000,000 Needed for spring seceding .eon 18,000,000 For consumption, 4 months to July 1 107,000,000 Total requirements.125,000,000 Total surplus.oovviiiveeerennn ns.88, 000,00!

the latter got the worst of it, and will show a fair-sized loss when accounts are made up.They have gotten two ot three hard whipsaws, Indian and Baltic shipments to the United Kingdom and the continent are not up to requirements ; the market is getting broader, and yields quickly to outside demand.Corn has sold up.Receipts dropped off some ; then the strength in wheat had a firm feeling on the crowd.The highest, lowest, and closing prices in Chicago are reported as follows by Meredith and O'Brien : Op'g High.!Low.[Closed- Month.Wheat\u2014Mar.\u2026.!.h.|.bc.ay .593 60} a9% 594- 4 y.61% G24 01% 61% Corn \u2014 Feb.l.oo 0 foes Joven eeeeenns Mar.q.00 Presses Pacs e May.363-1 364 364 362-4 July.art 874 37% 37¢-4 Oats \u2014 May.291.4 29% 204 29] uly.273 28 STE og Jan.boohoo Jeanne Pork \u2014 Jan.|.42.000 faces Jeccaue May.11 S0i 12 05! 11 85/ 12 05 Lara \u2014 Mar.|.|.(ce May.705} 7101 702 710 July.6 97 702 697 702 Short Ribs-\u2014Jan.!.|.|.fovennns : Mav.6 22 627 620 627 meSt.Louis \u2014 Closing\u2014Wheat, 54ÿc cash, Défc Feb.;

rolls move at about 19e to 19Lc.There is rather a generous supply of rolls on the market.but there is no large accumulation, the consumptive demand being fairly good.Creani- ery is selling very well, some dealers quoting as high as 27c on single tubs of gilt- edge.Townships is also high, owing to limited supplies.Shippers are not doing anything.Eces.\u2014The situation has not varied in the least, and business is about as dull as ever.Prices are likewise unsatisfactory, and for the most part evidences do not point to any immediate change or improvement.Western limed is quoted as low as 7e, but good stock is quoted at 9e to 10c.Montreal limed, of which there is quite a liberal supply.is quoted at lle to 13c.Really fancy is steady on the basis of 18c to 19c.DrEssep Hocs\u2014A somewhat better feeling has developed in the market, and prices ave higher.This for the most part is attributed to the rather light offerings of the past few days, and a picking up in the demand.Good stock is quoted at about $6 to 86.25, but choice light weights Jwould probably bring 4s much as $6.50.The movement in the west is better and sales have occurred in Toronto at $6 though the average run of stock is not bringing over $5.75.Provisions\u2014Thjs is an exceedingly dull time in the provision trade, and there is not a single feature to note.Canada short cut pork is selling, it is said, at $16.50, but rumors are current to the effect that much less than that has been accepted.There is absolutely no demand for western mess pork and there is little being brought forward.A small jobbing trade is doing in lard, but the same can hardly be said of other lines, which are lifeless.Canada sh\u2019t cut mess.per brl.17.00 to 00.00 \u2018West, mess pork, new, per bri.(0.60 to 00,00 West, mess pork, old, per bri.60.00 to 00.60 Beef, extra mess, per brl.\u20ac0.00 to 12.50 Beef, plate, perbrl.00.00 to 16.50 Hams, city cured, per 1b.0.09 to 0.12 Bacon, perlb.ass 20000 0.12 to 0.13 Lard, pure Canadian, perlb.C.084to 0.11 Lard, com.refined, per lb.0.074to 00.5 Canned meats, 2 1b, per doz.0.60 to 2.55 Lunch tongue, 1 1b., per doz.0.00 to 3.35 QOx tongue, 21b., pex doz.0,00 to 3.35 !

others, impelled by tho love of notoriety, pretend to Dbe the person they especially envy cr admire.Not | long ago, says Tit-Bits, a (German- : American made himself conspicuons in | London by posing as the Duke of Teck.!

his reason tottered; he imagined that he really was the Czar, and the nihilists were plotting against him.He finally became insane, and was sent to a madhonse, where he will remain while life lasts, DEAFNESS COMPLETELY CURED?Any person suffering from Deafness, Noises in the Head, &c., may learn of a new, simple treatment, which is proving very successful in completely curing cases of all kinds.Full particulars, including many unsolicited testimonials and newspaper press notices, will be sent post free on application.The system is, without doubt, the most successful ever brought before the puk- lic.Address, Aural Specialist, Albany Buildings, 39 Victoria street, Westminster, HONTREAL HOTELS The Herald is kept on file, and can be, seen at the following Montreal hotels : Elliott, P.A.30 Aylmer White, Amos.39% Bleury McCarthy, J.197 + \u201cBulls Head\u201d.65 Centre Dubois H.1 Chaboillez Sq Bruneau Chas.30 es és Salvas O.53-55 ° Hotel Lalonde.57 te ¢ Coogan R.241 Commissioners Anderson W.125 Congregation Fortin C.65 Craig Belac J.417 \u201c St.George's House.4855-487 Lillie G.471 cs Culliman Jas.491 \u201c6 Isidore Resturant.539 \u2018 Felix House.565 \u201cs The Liverpool.5714 é Bode H.W., Rest.H95 \u201c Clayes M.615 6 Kiarke\u2019s Crossing.625 ff Thngston Hotel.639 > He Buckingham.745 > Blue Bells.794 \u201c\u201c McAllisterC.799% \u201c Bussiere ¥.565 Dorchester MeNeice L.\u2026.Cor Duke & Ottawa Union House.121 Duke Bussiere F.565 \u201c Ouimet D.Cor Duluth & Laval Sleeth D.6 Donegana McKinley Johm.2 Toundling O'Loughlin Mrs.404 Hermine Merchant\u2019s Lunch.26 Hospital O'Connor House.69 Inspector Bogie Wm.95 Jurors Fredericks Frank.482 Lagauchetiere Lyons Thos .590 ¢ Avburn J.A.680 \u201c The Mikado.682 ss Richmond Wm.718 \u201c6 Waverley House.\u2018of The Retreat.534a \u2018 Carlin H.180 Mill Glesson M.99 Mountain Lynch T.A.203 McGill Florence Hotel.214\u2018 The Carlton.997 < Desormeau ¥.1388 Notre Dame Terrapin Resturant.1681 ** \u2018 Lanetot F .1701 \u20ac Ottawa Restaurant.1825 \u201c és Prudhomme J.B.1877 *¢ ss Shevlin M.N30 «8 Feneley J.2606 ¢ és Kenwood R.121 St.Antoine Smith Mr.125% \u20ac Sanatol Thiotine.1761 St.Catherine Cadieux Bros.1929 + \u201c\u201c Broker's Restaurant.66 St.Frs.Xavier Kxchange Hotel.99 « « \u20ac Compain Restaurant.118 ¢ * Canada Hotel.\u2026.St.Gabriel American House.47 St.Henry Huet J.122100 00 415 St.James Delourney Mrs.J.422 ¢¢ + Smith H.J.463 \u201c\u201c 6 Courville A.473 \u201c\u201c \u2018s Mansion House.524 \u2018 es St.James Hotel.538 \u201c\u201c ce St.Lawrence Hall.\u201c6 * Broadway House.585 \u201c\u201c \u201c Queen\u2019s Hotel.\u2018 \u201c Embleur T.C.659 és Dubois H.3 St.Lawrence Herbe\u2019s Palace.13 \u201c ¢ Merard Mederic.61 © Clontieun H.224 *¢ \u201c6 Millaire P.319 \u20ac Leonard K.519 ** Artour R.629 \u201c\u2018 \u201c6 Restaurant Mederic.Turner House.51 St.Maurice Reber\u2019s Palace .17 St.Patrick Ryan Wm.196 « of Richelieu Hotel.St.Vincent Martin Walter.73 St.Urbain St.Onge J.172 Versailles The Golden Star.18 Victoria Sq The Wellington.155 Wellington Jones A.345 \u201c Kennedy.395 \u2018 Stanley Hotel.Windsor Windsor \u2018 .L.Windsor WILLIAM BYRD, Contractor, Office, 683 Lagauchetiere St TELEPHONE 390 House, 7260.Estimates for all classes of Wood Work, Altes ations.Repairs, ete., etic.be no resemblance between her and the , Still, she is known far and the Czar\u2019s double, a banker by the name later on he would drive his four-in-hand Children who are thin, hollow-chest- ed, or growing too fast, are made Sirong, Robust and Healthy by Emulsion Ea SON the Cream of Cod-liver OiL It contains material for making healthy Flesh and Bones.Cures Coughs, Colds and Weak Lungs.Physicians, the world over, endorse it.Don't he daceived by Substitutes!

Appeals yesterday.One of the most important cases being that of Simpson vs.The Molsons Bank, an action taken on behalf of the substitution created by the will of the late Hon.John Molson to force the bank to remit 640 shares of stock transferred by the trustees of the estate, of whom Alexander Molson was one, to Alexander Molson himself personally, or in defaultto pay $60,000.The Court below had dismissed the action, and the judgment was unanimously confirmed yesterday by the Court of Appeal.The court below had held that by the law in force at the date of the will, substitutions of movable or personal property were prohibited, and that therefore the taxation could not substitute bank stocks.OLOBENSKY VS.SARRAZIN.The judgment of the Court of Review in the case of Globensky vs.Sarrazin was upheld by the Court of Appeal, and the case dismissed yesterday.This action was originally taken by Seigneur Globensky to recover $250 from Mr.Sarrazin, an advocate, , it being alleged that this was a portion of.the amount of $300 paid by plaintiff to have his son-in-law accepted as a partner in Mr.Sarrazin\u2019s law firm.The contention was that the defendant had not treated the Young man as a partner, and had therefore not fulfilled the conditions of his contract.The Superior Court maintained the action, but the judgment was reversed by the Court of Review and confirmed as above Yesterday.RAILWAY VS.INSURANCE COMPANY.The \u20acourt of Appeal decided yesterday, Judges Bosse and Blanchet dissenting on the question of fact, to reverse the judgment of the Superior Court in the case of the Quebec Central Railway vs.the Guardian Assurance Company, of London.The railway company had been compelled to pay $400 for damages caused by the destruction by fire, in July, 1888, of certain property in Levis, belonging to one, Chabot, who had been insured to that extent, the fire having been caused by sparks from one of the company\u2019s engines.The Court below had held that the railway company was responsible, but an appeal was taken from this decision.The ground taken by the Court of Appeal in reversing the judgment, was that the railway company had not been proved to have caused the fire, which might as easily have been caused by sparks from an Intercolonial railway engine, which had passed the same spot at nearly the same time.BYRD VS.THE CITY.Judgment has been reserved in the case of Byrd vs.the city, an action taken with reference to the erection of telephone and telegraph posts erected in front of plaintiff's property.ACTION AGAINST THE CITY DISMISSED.Judge Loranger has dismissed the action of Dame Walsh vs.the city, for damages caused by a fall, His Honor deciding that there was no evidence of negligence on the part of the city.COURT OF REVIEW JUDGMENTS.Judgments will be rendered by the Court of Review this morning.SUPERIOR COURT CALENDAR, MARCH TERM.The official calendar of the Superior Court sittings was issued yesterday.The

Interesting Statements.A reception was given to the Quebec Cabinet last night by Le Club Conservateur in the Monument National.The attendance was a sort of cosmopolitan one, and the rooms were crowded.Hon.Premier Taillon was the first speaker.He dwelt on the \u201c\u2018tax\u201d and claimed that it was an absolute neeessity, and that it should consequently be imposed.He admitted, however, that within two years it would be wiped out.Hon.J.C.Flynn followed.His address was one of those patriotic, flag speeches where a maximum of words and a minimum of thoughts are the natural result.Hon.T.C.Casgrain devoted his time to the North West bill, and said that it should have been disallowed, as it had a tendency to keep Catholics out of the Province, and entice those already there to leave.He said that Catholics had enough of the McCarthy's and O\u2019Briens and the P.P.A.He referred to Mercier\u2019s former statement that he thanked God that he would soon be able to lead his compatriots again.Mr.Cas- grain said that they did not want him, in fact nobody wanted him back again.He thought there was plenty of talent in the Conservative party to lead their soldiers to victory.Many present thought that Mr.Cas- grain\u2019s speech was simply one to prepare the way for Chapleau\u2019s entrance into politics again.Hon.Provincial Secretary Pelletier attempted to defend his actions in the Beauport Asylum deal, and showed that it was impossible to get $100,- 000 without the fact being made public.The Liberals had refused to have a committee of investigation in Parliament, but the Hon.A.R.Angers had taken an action against L\u2019Electeur and he himself would take an action against The Witness.LOAN AND MORTGAGE CO.The Thirty-Sixth Annual Report Read Yesterday.The Montreal Loan and Mortgage Co.has issued its thirty-sixth annual report.The report gives the revenue \u2018for the year as 856,680.65.These are disposed of as follows ; Two half-yearly

and His Gold Watch.There was no happier man in Montreal yesterday afternoon than Sergt Watty Brown of the Royal Scots.He went intoithe Associated|Tea Company\u2019s Store 206 St Lawrence st and brought a one dollar package.On opening it he was surprised to find a gold watch.He had not expected it but there it was sure enough.Down he came to The Herald office aud exhibited his prize.\u201c\u2018Watty\u201d is also a judge of tea and he says that that which he bought is as good as any connoisseur could wish for.The R.and O.N.Management.It was reported on the street yesterday that the joint management of the Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Company was to be given to Mr.White, of the G.T.R., Toronto, and another man, whose name is unknown, at a salary of $5,000 a year for each.The Toronto correspondent of The Herald called upon Mr.White in connection with this report.Mr.White said that he knew his name was before the directors of the company, but that he would not accept any nomination involving a division of managerial responsibility.The Stevens-~Joseph Case.The enquete in the G.H.Stevens-Jesse Joseph, jr.theft case which was to have commenced yesterday afternoon in the Police Court, has been postponed until March 6th next owing to the illness of the defendant, with regard to whom a physician informed Judge Dugas that he would probably lose his life

some time ago he would do, on the ground of property non-qualification.It is understood that an action may be entered, before the thirty days has expired, by ex- Mayor Landry against Ald.Prenoveau on the same ground.IN BAD SANITARY CONDITION.The tour of inspection of the City Hall made by Ald.Penny, Chairman of the City Hall Committee, and Mr.Pearson, the engineer, has been completed, and demonstrates that the sanitary condition of the building is bad.New closets and improved urinals are recommended, as is also the proper ventilation of offices.The estimated cost of the improvements is 9,560, of which 82,060 is for drainage ; $850 for ventilation ; $2,750 for plumbing, and $4,000 for tile floors in the toilet rooms to repair the wood floors now there.A meeting of the City Hall Committee will be called for the early part of next week to consider the appropriations for the year, and also to discuss the above proposition.TO SUPPRESS SCARLET FEVER.The importance of taking immediate steps to suppress the scarlet fever epidemic led to a conference between Mayor Villeneuve Ald.Farrell and Ald.Beausoleil yesterday.It was decided that in view of the fact that 71 deaths have occurred from this source alone within the past three weeks, that preparations to carry cn the scheme jointly proposed by the General and Notre Dame Hospitals should go on at once.MORTALITY STATISTICS

Montreal and Cleveland.A weekly steamboat service between Montreal and Toledo and Cleveland is likely to be established this spring.Mr.(G.E.Jaques, of the forwarding firm of G.E.Jaques & Co., has just returned from a trip to the States and states that two steamers, the Acadia and the Melbourne, are to be put on this route.They will leave here every Wednesday evening, returning every Monday morning.The principal source of business of the new line will be the carrying of flour from Toledo to Montreal, but there will also be other freight, such as lumber, salt, earthenware, ete.The steamers will run in connection with ocean steamships out of Montreal, and will discharge their freight alongside these vessels.It is quite possible that the new line will divert some of the freight now going by way ot New York.A line between Montreal and Cleveland was inaugurated some years ago, but was .discontinued alter the first season.\u201con opening the cans found solid gold hunt- AN ICE-BREAKING BOAT.To Ply Between Montreal and Que- bec\u2014The Channel Chart.The Harbor Commissioners held their usual weekly meeting yesterday.The secretary read a letter which he had received from Louis Coste, chief engineer of the Department of Public Works, transmitting a chart of the ship channel between Montreal and Quebec from Platon to Ste.Croix, and asking whether the Harbor Commis.stoners would have it lithographed similarly to the charts which have been already published.He hopes to forward chart No.19 very shortly, being a continuation of the survey which the Department will complete as far as Quebec during the coming season.It was decided to publish the chart sent, in continuation of the set of seventeen published in 1891.A letter was received from Messrs.Har- ling, Ronald and Company referring to the recent suggestion to have a heavy weight crane for the harbour of Montreal, and transmitting correspondence with Messrs.H.& A.Allan upon the terms upon which their steam lifting barge could be had when required by ship agents generally.Mir.Adan authorized the statement to be made that the said lifting barge was at the disposal of any person requiring its use at the rate of $100 per day, or part day, when it was not being used by his firm.In view ofthis theCommissioners decided there was no present need for any other powerful crane, and it was ordered that Messrs Har- ling, Ronald and Co., and the trade generally be informed of Messrs.Allans\u2019 offer.It was ordered that a specification should be draw up by the Chief Engineer for the stores and materials required for the harbour in 1894 and that tenders be advertised for supplying the same.APPRENTICE PILOTS.The examination of those apprentice pilots who have been licensed five years and have completed all the requirements of the by-laws entitling them to examination, was fixed for Wednesday, the 28th March.Considerable routine business was also disposed of.In reference to the ice breaking boat, often spoken of, that the Harbor Commissioners would wish to ply between Quebec and Montreal, Mr.Robertson, the secretary, showed The Herald representative the annual report of the Baltimore Harbor Board.The boat used there from December 28th, 1892, to February 7th, 1893, had given the utmost satisfaction.The expense of ice breaking had been nearly $9,000.Of course, the ice broken there, cannot compare in thickness with that formed on the St.Lawrence River.A Lot of Solid Gold Watches Found Yesterday Major Walter Brown, caretaker Royal Scots Canada, who resides at No.83 Cadiex street, purchased two cans of tea at No.206 St.Lawrence Main street, Monument National Building, and on opening the can found a beautiful hunting case, Swiss movement watch in one of the cans and a watch chain in the other.The Major declared that watches mixed with tea improved the quality very much in his estimation.Also, Mr.Sobriski, medical student, and Miss Bean, St.Catharine, Street ; also M.P.O'Neil, brakesman G.T.R purchased cans of tea at the store of the Associated Tea Co, No.206 St.Lawrence Street and 2341 St.Catherine Street, and ing case stem-wind jewelled watches in their \u2018cans, besides getting a good dollar\u2019s worth of téa.Miss McMahon, No.29 Cho- medy Street, found a solid gold chased ring in her can, and Mrs.E.Smonin, Outremont, at Querry, sent in a club order of $5 for six cans, and got a genuine diamond finger ring in one of the cans, besides five other articles and six cans of the very best tea.Mr.M.Albin, 258 St.Antoine Street, also found a genuine diamond finger ring, set in.solid gold.29 other valuable watches and articles of diamond, emerald and pearl jewelry went out on orders received by mail from .the country.Terms, single cans $1, six for $5, and 13 for $10.Get up a club order.Every one sending in a club order of $10 always receives one or more valuable articles.Address Associated Tea Co., 206 St.Lawrence Street.United States
