Co.Jas.S.BRIERLEY, Managing Director VICTORIA SQUARE.- Victoria Square is safe\u2014so far at least as the present Mayor and Council are concerned.Before the question passes out of mind, it may be worth while to point to it as evidence that to arouse public opinion in civic matters is not such a hopeless task as some people, at the outset of the Victoria Square agitation, believed it to be.The result of the agitation is two-fold, It has saved to the citizens one of their public wquares, and what is still more, it has con- | tradicted those Jeremiahs who prophesied | that, by combination of their influences, a great railway company and the boss of the city could and would do what they liked : * tives or old-time companions who may top with an ottr rim.Let not such en | one indulge the luxury of his tastes in! this year of grace, or if he do, may he give up all notion of wearing such luxur ous apparel in the company of his rela now inhabit an American city.The vig ilant customs official will meet him at the border, turn his vestment inside out to see if it has the required mark, and if not will summarily confiscate this chiefest or nament of his existence.And he, poor hapless wight, must go on his way, hat- tess, or coatless, or, if with his coat still on his back, then without the soft rolling collar and gauntlets that at home proved him to be a favored child of fortune.MGR.BRUCHES! : \\NTERPRETS J ee The Recently Expressed Views of the Pope, ADVICE GIVEN CATHOLICS.\u2014 AMUSBMENTS.Week of January 3rd, \u201cA WOMAN of no IMPORTANCE\u201d Prices\u201410.20,

scene of an unusual social function.His Grace Mgr.Bruchesi held a reception for ladies from three o\u2019clock till five o\u2019clock, and during those hours several hundred ladies passed through the reception rooms, The gay colors of gowns and millinery contrasted strongly with the sevére plainness of the palace and its furnishings, vhich, however, they brightened up.Most of the leaders of English-speaking Catholic and French-Canadian society were present, and there were almost as great a number from the humbler walks of life.Rev.Mr.Perron, the archbishop\u2019s secretary, looked after all the arrangements.His Grace received in the large parlor in the west end of the building, from the walls of which look down the portraits of former bishops and popes.He wus attended by the Very Rev.Z.Racicot, vicar general, and several members of the cathe dral chapter.As each lady was announced she was received by His Grace with his high-bred courtesy, and a few kindly words, and, after kissing the archiepiscopal ring, passed on.The following is a complete list of those who were present: Mesdames S.Bougie, H.J.O.Mallëy, Frank J.Hart, Boucher, J.M.Fortier, E.Desjardins, George Scott,

I nouncing on the truth or otherwise of the prevailing theory of evolution to explain the origin of species, -t was shown that the theory is mot necessarily materialistic in its philosophic basis, and that it is not inconsistent with the lang- guage of scripture on the subject, when \u2018nothing more is read into that language than actually appears.The case of man\u2019s origin, however, was reserved for further consideration.From the ecientifle point of view, if the theory of evolution be accepted as a true explamation of the origin of species \u2018in plants and animals generally, it 18 almost & logical necessity that it should be held to cover the case of man as well.1t ig inconceivable that nature\u2019s method in the production of new varities, new species, and even new types altogether, should have been by the process of evolution throughout countless ages of time, and that then when man is needed to crown the whole series and bring it to a fit climax, a new method altogether should be called into play, having no relation to the preceding order of things.It is admitted on all hands that the gap between man and the species nearest lim, so far as known, is a very wide one, and hence the constant search for some intervening link or links that may serve to bring them more closely together.But there are too many points of resemblance between the structure of man\u2019s body at least and that of all man- malia to allow us to suppose that he belongs to an order of things altogether different.In an important sense he is above nature, he is also, in a very real sense, of nature and is not free to disown altogether his kinship to his poorer relations in the lower animal world.AR scientific evolutionists at least insist that man must be included as well as the rest in the operation of this universal law as to the origin of new forms.The evidence for the truth of the theory is here precisely of the same character as it is elsewhere.If it fails here, then it fails everywhere.If it is good everywhere else, then it must be good here also.It is a case of all or none.Tt is not to be denied, however, that the majority of religious thinkers find much greater difficulty with the theory at this point than ot almost any other, In some instances pared to admit the theory as an adequate explanation of all the lower form of life they hesitate at this point, and insist that something further must necessarily be Infroduced here than in the case of any other to account for others they urge that this is one of a number of ibridgeless gaps in the history of the Whole process where we must suppose a divine intervention of a kind altogether peculiar and supernatural.While more, on the ground of what seems to be the insuperable objection here, reject the whole theory as entirely irrational and incredible, as well as contrary to the plain Doud, Marie Villeneuve.Langlois, j fully equipped lawyers.where they are pre- | man\u2019s appearance.In ' All that coulda done was to impress on the mind ot I.The first difficulty that stands in the way of their being reconciled to the theury is largely a sentimental one, but none the less real om that account.It seems to them to be degrading to man\u2019s dignity to ascribe to him such an ancestry and such natural affiliations as the ape or the monkey; and the matter is made worse rather than better by the reflection that these must have come in the last resort from forms infinitely lower etill.Whether true or not , it is an easy thing to laugh the claim out of court as preposterous, and there is suffiment snobbery in the breast of every human being to wish that the evidence against the truth might prevail.But while there is probably enough in this feeling to prejudice us all against the theory at the outset, it is obvious that the consideration is not one to which any teal weight can be attached in serious argument.Man is to be judged mot by what he came from, but by what he is and is to be.As having mental powers almost infinitely transcending those of any other animal, and as having the power of self-consciousness, he is superior to them now at any rate.His superiority is still more apparent when we take into account his moral and spiritual faculties.He is indeed so far removed above all others that he ought to be able to take the suggestion of his lower origin in an entirely philosophical spirit as furnishing ground for self-congratulation and pride rather than for self{humiliation.It is seldom the most distinguished men that resent the fact of humble birth.It is apt to be rather those who are too little above it to make the thought of it altogether a pleasant one.Full-blown snobbery is much more likely to be found in the valet than in the master, whatever his origin.As a matter of fact, those who reject the theory of evolution and disclaim the ancestry of the lower animal world commonly attribute to man a much humbler origin still, in the lifeless dust of the ground.the very clod of the earth.It is no sufficient retort to say that in that case it is God who is the real author of man\u2019s being.For on thie theistic supposition it is as troy God who produces the result in the one process as in the other, only that according to one view it ñ slow and according to the other quick; according to the one it is partly intelligible at least, according to the other it is not intelligible at all.We cannot be too often reminded that nature\u2019s methods of work are after all God's methods, nature's laws only God\u2019s laws, nature\u2019s results always and wholly God\u2019s handiwork.We no more get rid qf God when we understand how he has produced his marvellous results in nature than we get rid of the mechanic when we have had explained to us the mode in which he \u2018has accomplished some striking feat of skill.God is not bound to take the shortest conceivable way of doing everything under penalty of being ruled out of his own world.And instead of lowering our conception of man\u2019s dignity, it is well fitted to elevate it to the highest point to reflect that when God himself resolved to make man he did mot bring him into being by one stroke of his hand, as it were, but prepared for his appearance throughout long ages of manifold life, that the platform was raised on which he was to be set up only with infinite pains and by slow degrees, that the rude clay had to be refined, purified and kneaded into a complex organism by an almost endless process before it was fit for the noble structure He had designed.Man, as the head of the earthly ereation.shoots up in majestic proportions from the language of Seripture regarding the manner grandest pedestal that the whole world ot creation.of man\u2019s nature can furnish.No, surely, if evolu- lish on the first Sunday in February, #hd sermon; will be | the young student the fundamental principles of law, and accustom him to reason accurately from these.The

time last night in the building at the corner of St.James Street and St.Micha:l\u2019s Lane.The store is occupied by F.W.Sulliwan, agent for safes, ete., and the upper storys as a boarding house.About 9.30 fire broke out in the cellar, and dense volumes of smoke filled the upper flats.The inmates made a hasty exit, some of them carrying as many of their possessions as they could lay hands on.The brigade, however, soon quelled the flames in the basement, and by degrees the rooms above became habitable once more.The damage BIRTHS, DEATHS and MARRIAGES.BIRTH BONHOMME\u2014In this city, on the

force in the difficulty that the mental and moral gap between man and the lower animals is so great as to rule out the possibility of the one having any organic connection with the other.This has staggered even such evolutionists as Wallace and the late Prof.Calderwood.And it must be confessed that the tremendous advance from the one, as we know it, to the other, has not yet beem accounted for to the entire satisfaction of anybody.It has to be admitted, too, that the Christian belief in the immortality of man introduces an entirely new element in which we do not suppose the lower animal world to have any share whatever.But on the other hand, it is equally plaintthat even in his mental constitution there are not want ing points of contact between man and the rest of nature.It might even be said that there is the prophecy if not the actual presence of conscience.Increase these ever so little and you get not only'a quan\u2018itative but a qualitative difference as well.Water

The century plant slowly gathers up its strength for many years with no apparent change of form or size, and then suddenly by a gigantic leap bursts up into a treelike bloom as diverse from its former self as one could well imagine.May it not be that nature was being slowly prepared for the grand effort which was to crown its work in the purpose of God throughout the long ages of life upon the globe, and then when the right time came produced a result that seemed out of proportion to everything that had preceded?Are we arbitrarily to limit nature, or, to Speak more properly, limit God, and say that He is never to take a long step in his movement because He has usually seen fit to take short ones?As for immortality, on any | supposition this must be regarded as a ape- be in accordance with law, but if so, it is a law for the application of which there Was no room at an earlier stage in the growth of the world, and therefore no par- alle] can be supplied from that sphere.The possession of self-consciousness and of conscience, if not guaranteeing immortality.at least make man the only fit subject for it among all the creatures of the earthly system.cial endowment bestowed on man.It may | 3.But what are we to make of the Scripture account of man\u2019s creation?1s not this wholly inconsistent with any theory of evolution from lower animal life?Here we undoubtedly come upon the objection that gives greatest perplexity to the average religious thinker, and the diffi- oulty is one that every other religious thinker at least is bound to treat with re.spedt.Let us look at it.At the very outeet we must make a distinction between the two accounts of man\u2019s creation given in the opening chapters of Genesis.Whatever may be the explanation of the presence of both, it must be recog nized that they are distinot and proceed along different lines altogether.The first of them creates little difficulty.God is simply represented as bringing man into being deliberately without in\u2018 any way defining how, any more than in the case of the other forms of animal life.His origin by evolution is quite as much in harmony with the statement as direct and immediate eoreation, provided the ele Ann Jane.dearlv beloved daughter of James and Minnie Berry, OONTENT-\u2014In this city, on the 4th inst, ] a the age of 15 years, Marie Rose Blanche Albertine Content, daughter of Mederic Content, N.P, DELORME\u2014In this city, on the 4th inst, at the age of 64 years and 10 days, Noel Delorme.FOISY\u2014In this city, on the 4th Inst., ai the age of 87 years, Amable Foisy, st.NICHOLSON\u2014In this city, on January 5th, Rlizabeth Grisdale, aged 74 years and \u20ac months, beloved wife of Robert Nichol gon (blacksmith), THIBAULT\u2014In thie city, on the 4th inst, at the age of 14 months, Marie Sophie Germaine, child of Jos, Thibault, BENOIT\u2014At Coaticook, on December 24th.Infant son of Mr.N.N, \u2018Benoit, aged 3 months.HUTOHINSON\u2014At Huatingdon, on Janu ary 3rd, the Infant son of Rev, P, II.Hutchinson, M.A., aged 18 days.LATHAM\u2014At Hemmingford, on January 3, Joseph Latham, aged 64 years.MOORE\u2014At Covey Hill, on December 29, Lucinda Oddfield, relict of the late Wil llam Moore, in the 91st year of her age.SHEAZ\u2014At Vicars, on December 29th, \u2018Mary Rosaline, only daughter of John Sheaz, of Province Line.McDONALD\u2014-At Stornoway, on January 2, Mary Bella McDonald, only daughter of J, A, McDonald, aged 19 years, DERICK\u2014At Noyan, on the 26th ult, Mr Simon Derick, aged 75 years.A GOOD SUIT.Of warm clothes made in latest style and guaranteed fit, will make you feel at peace with the whole world.Here's your opportunity.Jump!

however, one that may prove troublesome, as the Montreal\u2019s scheduled matches are played on Saturdays, one of which would be the most convenient date for the members of the teams who .will have to travel, as they could make the return journey to their respective homes on Sunday.No one cam predict the probable result of this proposed match, as the alleys used by the clubs are dissimilar.The Eastern club\u2019s alleys are larger and wider than those in use in Toronto.On this account averages do not furnish a basis for daleu- lating the strength of the teams.A meeting of the Athenaeum Bowling Committee will be held, probably this evening, for the consideration of the challenge.TELEGRAPHERS FOR BURY.The following team will represent the Telegraphers dn their match with the

C.W.A.OFFICIALS.Referring to the meeting of the Board of Officers, which will probably be held this month, the Canadian Wheelman this week says: \u201cFor many years it was the custom to hold a special meeting of the Beard of Officers some weeks before Goad Friday, but since provision was made for en Executive Committee this has not been done.This year Presideñt Orr intends ta return to the former custom, and will call a special meeting of the Board, to be hald some time towards the last of January.There are at present something in the neighborhood of one hundred and thirty members of the board, representing all portions of the country.It may be fairly expected that at least fifty of this number can be got to attend.All those who cannot do so will be invited to put their views in writing upon the various questions to be submitted to the meeting, the first and ee re most important being, \u201cHow best to increase the influence of the C.W.A.?\u201d Clubs that have no representative on the beard will be invited to send delegates, and, in fact, any member of the association who is interested in its welfare will be welcome.The object of the meeting is to give men with ideas an opportunity to exploit them so that if they are found worthy of adoption they may be gotten into shape before Good Friday.It is to be hoped that some plan may be devised for lessening the tension of business upon that day itself.A change that will give time for the calm discussion of proposed reforms will be most welcome.\u201d THE QUEBEC TEAM.A Quebec exchange says:\u2014To-night, the two teams of the Quebec Hockey Club, to meet the Montreal Club here, and the Metropolitans in Sherbrooke, will be chosen, and the final practice of the club will take place from 5.30 to 6.30 pm.Every man should be on hard and any who fails to be present should be turned down for it, for there are about ten or twelve men in the club, among whom it is hard to pick and dhoose, according to what a Chronicle representative saw last night, when one of the hest practices of the season took place.There were fourteen men on the ice, and at times the play was highly creditable, while at others it was equally slack, Tut laziness on the part of some of the players accounted for most of the glow- ness, though a few of the men seemed quite At this stage it is both unfair and unwise to mention names, so we shail refrain from doing so until after the first matches on Saturday night, when the wisdom of the choice of the teams will probably be shown.It is quite within the bounds of fairness to state that on the forward line there are some young players who can give any of the rest a |race for their money, and the older players will have to look to their laurels.A little more system might with advantage be shown among the forwards, but at the same time there were a few occasions on which good combination was in evidence.A tendenéy to offside play, the result of players getting ahead of the puck is a serious fault and Referee A.E.Scott was justifi~bly rev-re in checking it.Some of the players also gave a habit of skating over the rubber.A good hard practice is looked for, and would be productive of excellent results.If the players can only strike the pace they showed at times last night, and keep it up on Saturday, their chances of success are extremely reasonable.À good conscientious practice to-night can do much towards giving the desired result.THE GAME IN CORNWALL.Cornwall, Jan.match to-night between the Winnipeg hockey team and the Cornwall aggregation promises to be one of the best of the .season.The Winnpegs did mot put up a very brilliant game against Ottawa, but the tiring effeats of their long trip probably explains that.They should be in the best of condition when they reach here.: The Cornwall team will probably be the same as played Morrisburg on New Year\u2019s night, with the exception of Frank Mac- lennan.A fast game and a record-break- ing attendance are confidently expected by ' the executive.The Lancaster match has | been postponed till next Wednesday.THE PARKSIDES TO PRACTICE.The members of the Parkside Hockey Club are expected to

that Westmount, St.Henri and other outlying towns deem a tax of 50c ample to cover expenses incurred, the city of Montreal should find a like amount sufficient.The fact of cyclists paying a tax for a year's use of the streets, when in reality they are only used by the majority for a period ot about four months or one- third the time, makes this more justifiable.The regulating of the watering of paved streets for cleaning, would be very mucn appreciated by the mass of cyclists who have occasion to use such streets as Dor- chester west, St.Culherine, St.Lawrence, ete., as few have not experienced annoyance during the past season through the seemingly needless flooding of these streets about 8 p.m., the hour most enjoyable for riding.The regulation of speed and its strict observance would do much to remove the antagonistic feeling that many have towards cyclists, and should be supported by every wheelman.The enforcement of by-law at present existing would remove to a very large extent the cause of punctured tires and be beneficial to all.A mass meeting will be held in January (time and place to be announced later), to which aldermen-elect will be invited and their support of our platform urged.It is the earnest desire of the committee that clubs and unattached riders will attend in large numbers and demonstrate that the organized cyclists of Montreal are a sufficiently large and influential body to deserve their consideration.As this organization is an tndependent movement and is not under the control of any particular club or body, the committee rely on having that co-operation and support that will ensure SUCCESS.GOLF.8.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The | HAS RAISED A'ROW.Golfer Findlay Douglas Credited With a Startling Statement.\u2019 A sensation has been created in Chicago by a report to the effect that Findlay Douglas, the crack Scotch golfer, has openly stated that his clubs were tampered with prior to his match with H.of the United States, in the semi-final round of the championship meeting held .in that city last fall.From a variety of sources rumors have reached the Chicago Golf Club about Douglas and his clubs, but no attemt on was paid to them until they became so persistent that something had to be done.Members of the club heard the subject discus-ed openly by golf players in public restaurants in New York, and, on their return, reported the matter to ex-Champion C.B.McDonald, of the Chicago Golf Club.Ten days ago MacDonald wrote a friendly letter to Douglas, telling him of the rumors and asking him if he had made the statements, and, if so, to make his charges so that they could be thoroughly investigated.To this letter no reply has yet been received.\u201cT am very sorry that this has happened,\u201d said MacDonald yesterday,

Rights Movement,\u201d having for its object the uniting of cycle clubs and unattached cyclists into a body, to have more influence in obtaining recognition of their wants and rights.The following platform was adopted as embodying the questions of most interest to wheel- men:\u2014 1.Reduction of cycle tax from $2 to 50c.2.To have permanent paved streets watered for cleaning, between hours of 11 p.m.and 6 a.m.only.3.To pass a law regulating speed of riuers in the city, restricting speed to ten wiles an hour.4.To enforce by-law regarding throwing of mails, tacks, glass, hoops, etc, ou

MONTREAL.First-class Investments always on hand.FINE OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS Montreal Merchants Are all danguine, MANY FAVORABLE FEATURES À Review of the Past Week's Business.The year 1898 has opened in the brightest possible manner for general business.The holiday dullness has passed away and trade has worked quietly into its accustomed swing.Merchants all agree that prospects have seldom been ; better.Money seems reasonably easy, collections are increasing, bank clearings expanding, and there are countless other factors in existence which will all tend to firmly establish the business of the country on a healthy basis.A leading merchant who does a business of several milions a year, had the following to say about the outlook yesterday afternoon on \u2019Change:\u2014\u2018\u201cI have done a good deal of travelling around the country in the past few months, and have been as far west as Manitoba.Everywhere I found the merchants, both big and little, talking in a most encouraging strain.Their present trade is good, and they are expecting still better things in the near future.The reports regarding the activity in Manitoba have not been exag- gerated.Things up there are better than they have been for years past, and I can tell you the merchants have all discarded their blue spectacles.\u201cAs to the Klondike Trade I am advising all my friends to go slow, but of course they are working it for all medium Japans are quoted at 13c to 18}c, fine at 18c to 2lc, finest to choicest 23¢ to 28e.Dried fruit was not very active the past week, and prices remain about steady at the following range: Standard brands of California, 2 Crown, 6c to 64e; 3 Crown loose Muscatels, 7c to 7ic; 4 Crown do., Sic to 8ic, duty paid.Valencia raisins off- stalk, 44c to 4jc; fine off-stalk, 5c

Vostizzat, 6lc cases; evaporated peaches, llc to 12¢; pears, dic tn 12c; apricots, 14e to 17e; prunes, 8c to 12¢, according to brand and quality.Leather.The trade at the moment is not particularly brisk, but dealers look forward to a better state of affairs later on.Ad- vices from the other side are more encouraging, and some business has been done at at an advance in prices.We (quote:\u2014No.2 manufacturers\u2019 sole, 22¢ to 24c; jobbers\u2019 sole, 22¢ to 23c; slaughter sole, 25¢ to 27c; waxed upper, 23c¢ bo 3les grained do, 28c to 33e; buff, llc to 12e; splits, 22e to

Shoes.Manufacturers are doing a good business at present, and expedat a substantial increase in a couple of weeks or so.Orders from the coast for the Klondike-trade are good, and there is every possibility of a large trade in this direction.The tone of the market is firm, and the trade in general reports collections very good.Iron and Hardware.The market is broadening out gradually, and dealers are anticipating big things.Up west the demand is \u2018brisk, and some firms are said to be refusing orders.Prices here are:\u2014Summerlee pig, $18 to $18.50; Carron, $18 to $18.50; Ayrsome, No.1, $17, Eglinton, $17; QCarnbro, $16.50; No.1 Hamilton, $16.50; No.2 do., $15.50; Ferrona, $16; Siemens, No.1, $16; wrought scrap, No.1, $14 to $15; bar iron, $1.35 to $1.40; tin plates, cokes,

ead, $3.75 to $4; and spelter at $4.50 to $4.70.Iron pipe, $3.90 to $4.Paints and Oils.Trade has been pretty good in paints and oils during the past week, with fine prospects for the future, it being yet too early in the year for any marked improvement to set in.We quote prices as ifol- lows: \u2014Choice brands white lead, Govern ment standard, at $5.374c; No.1 at $5; No.2 at $4.62}; No.3 at

THIRTY LESS THAN IN 1897, There were a couple of rather important failures in Montreal during the past week, but they afford little index of the general state of healthiness existing in general business here, as well as throughout the whoie country.Merchants all agree that the present year will see fewer failures than have been experienced for many years past, and in spite of the failures mentioned, 1898 has already started with remarkable promise.Throughout the whole Dominion the total failures last week were 32, and this compares with no less than 62 for the corresponding, week last year, a decrease of 30.Later on in 1897 the failures dwindled down a good deal, bat little doubt is expressed but that the embarrassments for the coming year will 452 much smaller.Money in the country is said to be easier now than it has been for a long time past, and the majority of merdhants seen during the past week have reported an appreciable improvement in payments, it is worth.The houses sending men to the coast are getting them off earlier than ever before, and things by the middle of next month will certainly be bumming.Shipments of goods out there are even large as it is, but by the time I have statea the first rush of orders will have been filled, and then the movement will start.The trade will bring an immense amount of money to Montreal.\u201d °* A no less sanguine opinion than the foregoing is expressed thia week by the Trade Bulletin, whidh says:\u2014\u201cIt is many years since the prospeots for business were as bright at the commencement of the New Year as \u2018at present, and \u2018this is chiefly owing to the vast resources of Canada being better understood by the outside world, more especially by Great Britain and the United States, and hence the large ingress of capital} from both countries for investment in mining and other enterprises.During the coming spring thousands of fortune-seekers will swell the already large army of such in the mining districts of the Klondike re: gion, and other districts where the precious metals are known to be available in large quantities.2 Additional Factors.\u201cTo these may be added the growing importance of our dairying, cereal, lumbering and wood pulp interests, exports of which are steadily increasing.The whole- rale trade during the past week, although seasonably quiet, has shown quite an in- Crease upon that of a year ago in most lines.Remittances continue exceptionally good for the season, and this is admitted of late by habitual and chronic croakers, Money is still firm, with an upward tendency, call loans being quoted at 4 to 43 per cent, and at this range there has been some business.Discounts are steady, commercial paper being taken at the banks at 6 to 7 per cent, as to name and nature of account.\u201d The Weeks\u2019 Trade.There was a good deal of life in some of the leading lines this week, and the only disappointing feature was the announce- \u2018ment of a couple of failures.It is a notable fact in this connection, however, that total Canadian failures are away below what they were a year ago, there being a decrease of something like 30 for the past week alone.The movement of goods to the seaboard | is still quite extensive, and all the steamers going out are taking full cargoes.There has been a steady outflow of grain direct from the west, and while the movement of produce has not been notably large in comparison with last year, there is every indication now that it will show a stbstan- tial gain in the near future.Other lines promise well.Groceries.The market has shown a moderate amount of life, and some grocers report very fair orders for the Klondike trade.The sugar market has maintained the firm tone noted last week, with a rather light enquiry.The refiners are quoting granulated at 4gc, and yellows at 38c to 4c, as to quality, with the usual discount.Molasses keeps scarce.Prices too are still on the upward trend, and 274c is now about the lowest figure for round lots, while smaller Quantities are quoted gc riore.Coffee keeps firm, without showing any particular change.We quote: Maracaibo, 8e to 13c; Rio, Tc to llc; Santos, 8c to a Mocha, 20c to 24c; and Java, 20c to de, Some sales of Japans were made during the week all the way from 13c to 174c, and several lots of Chinas.Trade on the whole is fair and about up to the average for this period of the year.Common to $1.65.Varnishes, without alteration.Linseed oil, raw, 43c, boiled, 46c; five- barrel lots, lc less.Turpentine, 49c; five- barrel lots, 48c.Fruits.There was a good business done in fruits during the holiday season, but since then there has been a natural falling off.Oranges this week were, if anything, a little easier, and to other lines there is no special feature of note.Values range as follows:\u2014Apples, No.1, $3 to $4.50 per bbl.; No.2, $1.50 to $2.50 per bbl.; dried, 5c to 5c per lb.Oranges, Jamaica, $5.50 per bbl.;

Market.THE LEADERS SOARED.Advances Scored by the Most Active Stocks.Local speculators who were on the bull s:de of the stock market the past week made stacks of money, And it flowed to them easily, for after the opening day of he year the market soared upwards witn scarcely a single break.The favorites were Canadian Pacific, Toronto Railway, Gas, Cable and Ilalifax Tram, and these were the most profitable cf the lot.Profits of nearly 4 points might have been turned over in Pacific, over 3 points in Gas, 24 points in Toronto lailway, 4} points in Cable, and 3 points in Halifax Tram.All the speoulator had to do was to have bought at the depressed prices on Monday and sold at the higher prices où Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.Many of them no doubt did this.The market during the week was active and at times almost excited.Certainly it was a good beginning for the year, and the bullish element will have cause to remem- ter the week with a lot of satisfaction.\"this is how the prices fluctuated: Monday.Friday.Up.Pacific.813 853% 3 Cable.178 182% 43 Street Railway.235% 2364 3 Cas.190 193} 3} Toronto Railway.87} 89% 23 Halifax Railway.115 118 3 Electric.\u2026 .\u2026 1432 *143

securities of the week were Canadian Pacific and Toronto Railway, sales of the latter alone, for one ses sion, amounting to over 4,300 shares.The Lull campaign was conducted largely on the ground that the company, after this, proposes to pay a 4 per cent.dividend quarterly.Pacific, on the other hand, was boomed on the advancing tendency of the stock in London, which in turn resulted from the continued good earnings of the company, and the fact that the general business prospects of the country are so bright.For the latter reason Grand Trunk, Hudson\u2019s Bay and other leading Canadian securities listed in London were also given æ lift.In the foregoing table it will be noticad that Montreal Gas also had a good boom, énd Halifax Tram was not very far behind.Bank of Montreal shares likewise advanced about 23 points on the week's trading to 2374, which makes the total cost of one share $476.Another firm stock was Montreal Cotton, which came in for an advance of 23 points, but Dominion Coal, Royal Electric and one or two others were just a shade easier.THE SECRET OF SEX A Vienna Doctor Says He Has Discovered it.\u2014 What the Effect of Such a Discovery Would be.London, Jan.7.\u2014The important discovery in he science of life which has been announced by Dr.Schenk, a professor at the University of Vienna, and president of the Embryological Institute, continues to create interest in scientific circles.It abeorbed the attention of the whole medical profession today.He says that bis secret will have the most important bearing upon the future of the human race.It is such an influence over the atimal world as will fix the sex of offspring, reached.Dr.Schenk says, after twenty vears of study aft experiment.He declares that this discovery will equalize the number of males and females, end possibly have a far-reaching effect upon the Government of nations.Certain dynasties of Europe, Asia and Africa may be upset within the period of a generation it is said by scientists, it the influence found by Dr.Schenk should become general.Dr.Schenk began his experiments with the lowest order of invertebrates, gradually extending his study to higher animals and the human beings.He asserts that he has experimanted with entire success in the family cf personal friends, who knew of his work, and {freely consented to help him.Professor Schenk declines to reves! the secret of \u2018his problem until Le Las submitted his discovery to the Vienna Acai- emy of Science.The discovery anneunced by Dr.Schenk if it be truly a discovery, is not exceeded in importance by any that has been nade since the human race first began to think.The professional eminence of Dr.Schenk, say the dootors, makes it impos sible to discuss his statement without ser ious consideration.He pretends to have solved the problem which has oocupied the mind ever since the first cave dweller began to hope that he might have a son to help him kill bears and fight the animals that threatened the home cave.The prayer for a \u201cman child\u201d has risen to heaven from every corner of the globe every day for centuries, Now comes à man of scieiice who says that he can an- ver the prayer with certainty and without divine assistance.Medical and men and scientists will dis cuse this extraordinary announcement with all the technicality that the occasion calls for.But then help is not needed to impress the importance of tha discovery in itself.If such a discovery were proved it would be followed immediately in all civilized countries by laws making it the most serious criminal offence to use the knowledge thus revealed.The power to oontrol the sex cf the next generation would mean almost inevitably the ultimate extinction of the human race, say the physicians.Women long for sons to resemble the husbands to whom they are devoted, and men long for sons to carry on work.Girls, loved and cher ished as they are when they arrive, are not wanted as ofter as sons.They inwply greater worry and responsibility in the bringing up, and if the choice were left absolutely to parents they would Le few in number compared with the boys.In time, it may be said, common sense would return, and the great popularity of girl families in a country peopled by meu would soon tend to even matters up, but it would not do so entirely.Various problems have resisted absolutely the attacks of human ingenuity.Ten million doctors have studied the sex Question, yet medical science is as ignorant on that point now as in the days when we thought the carth was flat and the blood 't did not circulate.Only the arriva! of the child on earth can decide whether it was predestined from all eternity to wear skirts or trousers, Millions upon millions of human bodies have been vainly dissected in search ot the secret which Dr.Schenk, of Vienna, says he possesses.Does he possess it?Until that question is answered there is none of greater importance bcfore the scientific world.2m

there might even be less with advantage.As it is now a man may belong to two committees and find them both meeting at the same time.There should be fewer committees and fewer meetings.Moreover, by the amalgamation of these committees the way would be cleared for reducing the staff of employes in nearly all departments.I consider that in almost every department at the City Hall there are far too many men employed.Each chief of department should be asked for a list of the men whose services are necessary, and the rest should be let go.IT am sure that by this means there could be a saving effected of at least $50.000 a vear.But I am more in favor of reducing the salaries of the men who draw lurve sums than of interfering with those who make only a small wage per day.Would Abolish Contract System.\u201cI am also in favor of having all work that is now let out by contract done by the city itself.Our officers are as capable ts any of the contractors, the men who are always applying to us for work are able to do what is.required, and there is no reason why work should be handed over to contractors to make large profits perhaps, when we have men out of work and looking to the City Hall for help.Opposed to Large Exemptions.\u201cAn attempt should also be made to lace the zesessment of the city on a better basis.There should not be so much property exempted as there is.I would not diesre to have churches, convents and colleges taxed, or to tax a small portion of ground that might be held for the actual use of the occupants of these collegæs, etc.Pnt I do not think it right that large blocks of land should be held out of use in the neighborhood of such institutions vithout being taxed.It is not just or fair.\u201cMoreover, the citizens of Montreal should not be called upon to bear the whole burden of the taxation.There are plenty of people getting just the same advantages from Montread that its citizens get, but who live in Westmount, in Sault aa Recollet, in Lachine or elsewhere.For sich as these there should be an extra water tax and an extra business tax.\u201cBut naturally, if you ask what is to be done to reform the administration of the city, I must answer that the first thing is to get the right men to go to the Council.If you get good men the rest will be easier.I do not wish to speak against any of my colleagues, but it is well known that there are men at the City Hall who ought not to be there.The people have the matter in their own hands.It is for them to make selections.The Duty of the Press.\u201cTt is not for me to discuss such a matter as that.It is for the newspaper press to do so, and I regret to say that most of the newspapers of Montreal are not equal to their duty, and doing what is best for the city\u2019s interests as the occasions arise.Unfortunately that has been the case in the past, and some of our newspapers have by their actions or by their silence, served the purposes of the worst elements in our municipal government.The remedy for all these things is with the people and with the press.\u201d Ald.Savignac said his \u2014 Ald.Laporte Believes in Appeals to the People.TOO MANY COMMITTEES.Believes That Aldermen Should be Paid for Their Services.\u201cWhat I cannot understand about Montreal municipal affairs,\u201d said Ald.Laporte to a Herald representative, \u2018\u2018is the apparent indifference of the people of the city for what is done at the City Hall.I meet a great many \u2018men who seem to realize that all is not as it should be, and every little while there arises some crisis whidh forces the affairs of the city upon the attention of the public, and there are meetings held where there is not the least difference of opinion among leading citizens as to the condition the city\u2019s affairs are in.And yet nearly all of these men séem to be in a state of almost hopeless apathy, and to think that no appeal to the mass of the : people can accompiish anything.I confess it is disheartening to attempt to secure any measure of reform when friends and opponents alike realize that this is the state of the public mind.The opponents cf reforms feel secure in voting as their individual preferences prompt them; its friends are likely to be discouraged by the Jack of support.For my part I do mot believe that the average bitizen is willing to condone the things that are done.It seems to me the press is very much to blame for the condition that faces us,\u201d An instance of its power when it is exerted as it should be, was Weli shown in cie cave of Lie victoria Square incident, when the vigorous opposition cffered by The Herald to the donation of the square, saved that breathing spot to the citizens.It is known to me that the opinions of some of the most prominent members of the City Council were changed, and radically changed, by the demonstration of public opinion evoked upon that occasion.If the press would deal with the municipel elections with the same vigor as The Herald displayed on that occasion, I think almost anything is possible.I will not believe that the people are content to put up with any kind of government, but they naturally look to the press for guidance, and unfortunately a large section of the press of Montreal has not responded as it might reasonably be expected to.\u201cIf we could secure the right kind af a Council it would be a good thing; but, failing that, there are still many things we should try to do.The re-organization of the committees, I have come to think, after carefully obseiving the tendency of legislation at the City Hall, is the first step that should be taken.After that, I would suggest that those bonds which are maturing in a short time and which bear a high rate of interest, should, if possible, be consolidated under a new loan at a much lower rate.It seems to me we ought to be able to effect a considerable saving in this way.\u201d Claims Against the City.\u201cThere is one thing I propose to move for just as soon as the new Council is organized, if I am a member of that body.That 18, a return of the court actions pending against the city, or for which, in the judgment of the city\u2019s chief officiale, the city is likely to become responsible.It is altogether discreditable that the city of Montreal should have such sums to pay on court judgments.If claims are just, our law department must be able to tell us so, and I will move for a small committee to investigate this matter and attempt to arrive at a settlement in the best interests of the city, without.being forever before the courts.We should put an end to the practices which make the city always a defendant.\u201cThen, too, there is the city property.We have a great deal of it:which we do mot seem to be able, for some reason, to handle to advantage.Much of it is an actual loss to the city, as we get little or no rent and no taxes at all.The city cannot atford to be playing landlord at a loss, and if after a thorough investigation of the conditions we find that our property is not profitable to us, we should dispose of it to those who can and will make use of it, and at the best price it will command.As all seem to be entering upon a period of improve- went, it might also be well to part with some of those outlying sections of Mount Royal Park whidh will never be used for park purposes, and expend the nroceeds vpon beautifying and improving that part of the mouutain and its approach which should never be encroached upon.\u201cI favor also the plan of paying the al- derinen for their services 1 firmly believe that the city has lost the services of many good men just because this provision has not been made long ago, and has got instead some who are not over scrupulous about the means of securing the remuhera- tion to which they consider themselves entitled.T would fine every alderman who was absent from a Council meeting 310, and everyone absent from a committee meeting $5, and I cannot help thinking, from what I have seen of the City Hall work, that the citizens would be hetter served if such a plan were adopted.\u201d WRECK NEAR CHICAGO.Chicago, Jan.8.\u2014An open switch on the Grand Trunk Railway threw a freight train into a siding at Harvey shortly after midnight, and caused a wreck that fatally injured two men, hurt another seriously, and resulted in the burning of an engine and a passeger coach, and the demolition of twenty loaded freight cars and their contents.The injured: \u2014Edward Bancroft, of Battle Creek, Mich., fireman, jumped from the engine and was internally injured;

plenty of them.It is my most important task to stand still on occasion | and let people throw metaphorical rocks at | me.I have learned now to catch \u2019em in, my teeth and eat \u2019em\u2014that is to say, I! have learned not to talk back.When I first became a floor-walker I Lad no more mental balance than to tell the gentlemen shoppers who characterized me as a dummy, and a puppy, and a lovely thing, and the lady shoppers who informed me that I didn\u2019t know any more about the location ; of goods, in (his establishment than their maiden &unte in New Hampehire\u2014I hadn\u2019+ | even begin to convince her that I hadn't any more sense than to tell \u2018em that right! down the street, on the next block, two doors to the left, thare was another institution similar to this one, and perhaps a good deal better, where they could probably be served all right, and get anything they wanted from \u2018a bunch of figs to an attachment on the gate receipts.But no more! I came near losing my job.I would bave lost it had I not been so ineffably pretty that they could not do without me.\u201d \u201cYou mean that the people who come here talk at you?\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s what I mean.That humble old gentleman, Job, that we hear so much about, probably never held a floor-walker\u2019s job in a depantment store.If he were liv- Ing now, and took such a job, I could see his finish.He would last about twenty minutes, and then he would run amuck and \u2018have potsherds and 39-cent bottles of violet water and 87- travellers, is re-opened, ud o tbe management of Mr.Gedeov Fores The *-\u201cle Is fir,t-class, ap.tne Cure, und.r the charge of an experiences Moderate cha-:8 ané 27720.Qu gus *a.teed.The dining room = TE ore: after the usual dinner nour ey night from 8 to 12.on the Europes: »\" GEDEON FOREST, Proprietor.00000071 THE ST.ELMO.Cor, of MoGill and Recollet Stroetv The Best 25¢ Dinner in the of BEST ALES, WINES and PORTER 0° Draught or in Eottle.This Polite Attention Prompt serie! + \u2014\u2014 La Salle Street, Chicago: 208 Railway Fx Chie non seer mat duty cons on \u2018Coms Noa tale dec, and ty, de gy, D eve SERVICE, From Portlan: + 4 Jun, «18 Jar, «+.1 Fy rooms N.B., From wy, 4 Ja ay, 13 Ja St.Job- ay, 27 Ja er, JOHN VICE, HO wil{l{op VUYYA UO.IA * AAOHSUEN STIL »1 ' + wn.120 an.Feb.eT.AN, Montres, NEut Jan.ut Jan.out Jun.\u2026 .tof to ff © to fiw 1 bn?ply wa Co, L boston; © ailway Ex ) stl.Montreal.JOA NE unicatioc ), Malm From Portland.Dec, 1lù Jan.Feb, 5 Mar, advantage via Hans TES unl fn conne y8 tot je Westen rp, Rotter Norway, to nager, Montresi [NE y N.B., and a Morilla From Halifax.Thurs.2.Jen is ),.Jan d \u2026 Jan, Return, teamer % yo!

while the naval and military force sent out is so far in excess of the needs of-an occupation already effected and secure, that it must ob- | viously be intended for designs still more extensive, says an English correspondent of the New Yok Post.Yet up to a couple of days ago the British press persisted in a tone of as sumed indifference.By indulging in cheap wit over the German Emperor's mag- miloquence and his brother\u2019s abject lauda- tions, and by making merry over the insignificance of the German display, when compared with England\u2019s naval might, it only veiled transparently a very prevalent fecling of annoyance and pique.No doubt the Kiel speeches were extremely ludicrous in English, and English- nen have cften made fun of the hyperbole of American spread-eagleism.But the scope and significance of national demonstrations must be measured by the psychological disposition of each people and by | the style and character pf their language, Now, the Germans, though individually phlegmatic, are extremely emotional on pablic and national occastons.As a mation they are in \u2018that stage of youthful exuberance and aspiration, when people are apt tn seek expression for their feelings in high-flown language.Elizabethan English is full of it.Parts of Pitt\u2019s and Canning\u2019s speeches would be impossible in Parlia- rent to-day.Moreover, the German tongue, though it has served as the vehicle of some of the most transcendental philosophy, is tinged by the still strong tradition of chivalry, feudalism, and divin2 right, with the vivid coloring of exaggeration, adulation, and even servility.\u201cI kiss vour hand,\u201d is an every-day greeting, and, ue a matter of fact, guests always Kiss their V.ostess\u2019s hand on rising from dinner.\u201cI recommend myself to you.\u201d and \u201cyour most devoted servant,\u201d are the proper greetings on approaching and taking leave of a more or less respected person.\u201cHochwohlge- borenen\u201d (highly well-born) appears in Cerman addresses as indiscriminately as ccauire in English, and \u201cAller durahlaueh- t'gster, allengrossmachligster, allergnadig- ster Kaizer und Herr\u201d is the old traditions] form of addressing the Emperor of which Prince Henry made use.As regards the Fmperor\u2019s decidedly provocative allusions to the \u201cmailed fist\u201d and tn the determination of Germany to make her power felt beyond the seas, it would he an crror not to see in these declarations a very high political significance\u2014signifi- cant by the very fact that they were not in response to anv provocation.Tt was sufficiently clear that the Fmper- er's demonstrative proceedings were addressed mot to Russia, but to England: while the onslaught of certain Russian prints was intended to enconrrage England to show, on her part, unf ierdliness towards Germany.Of course an immediate outbreak of hostilities was not in question.Put the policy of Germany andRussia, in the first place, and of France, in a second degree.has steadily aimed for some considerable time past, either to force Eng- Jand into a position ultimately resulting in active hostilities against the combined Continent, or to inflict on her rebuffs and exact concessions humiliating to her pride and destructive of her prestige.A Secret Understanding.That some such secret understanding now binds these three Powers is beyond doubt.It is the outcome of their co-opera- tion in depriving Japan of the fruits of her victories; but its scope has gradually.extended over the whole range of Chinese affairs.Eventually it must influence even the trend of European politics by giving effect to the German Emperor\u2019s persistent endeavors to establish more friendly relations with France and bring about a continental coalition against England.Of these endeavors, persistently but noiseless lv carried on, the British Government has been perfectly cognizant; and therefore its attitude has been extremely wary, making all possible concessions to France, sacrifie- ing much in order to maintain the European concert and remain within it, and, | provoking with consummate skill and with as boundless cruelty, those.above all, successive disturbances and complications in Turkey which were intended to compel Russia to keep her attention fixed on the Levant.to act in the far East, as she was ful\u2019 v determined to do, before Japan had time to recoup from the last war, reorganize and strengthen her army, and complete the construction of the ten formidable ships! of war by the accession of which her navy will become more than a match for that of Russia.For the ultimate fate of Corea must inevitably lead to collision between these two competitors for its inheritance.The moment, however, Japan is ready as an available ally, England will not hesitate to assume a different tone in the far Fast.She would then have within reach what she now lacks; a first-rate land force ir sufficient numbers to make extensive mil .tary operations in China possible and at the same time release a portion of her own fleet for action in other seas.The continental Powers were cognizant of these calculations; and consequently it was their interest not to allow the de'ay upon which their realization heñted.As soon therefore as Greece had received her quietus, and Russia's understanding with Austria imposed tranquility on the other Balkan states.Germany undertook to make the first move.The time suited admirably the German Emperor, since the popular enthusiasm which the proclamation of his \u201c\u201cworld-policy\u201d was sure to evoke served to insure the adoption of his maval scheme.With remarkable dexterity he has, at the same time, fathered the cause of the missionaries as a sop to the : Catholic party, whose vote in Parliament is essential to_ the success of the navy bill.How accurately the whole modus operandi was pre-arranged is now evident; for hardly has the German flotilla set sail for China, when Russia makes her pre- concerted move, and it is only now that some of the British journals are constrained to admit the existence of an understanding.It will be placed beyond the possibility of doubt when the third confed- erate, France, takes a parallel step, as she is fully expected to do before long.Occupation of Port Arthur.The promised temporary nature of the occupation of Port Arthur by Russia is, of course, one of these fictions with which Asiatic statecraft loves to gloss over the necessity of forcible concessions.As, however, it is declared to have been effected with the entire consent of China, it renders any arbitrary counter move on the part of England extremely difficult.It will be remembered that last autumn a secret treaty was reported to have been negotiated by Count Cassini, the Rus- sae.Thus she was allowed no leisure : sian envoy at Pekin, whereby China allowed Russia to use Port Arthur as the terminus of a branch line, through Manchuria, of her great Siberian railway, and that Kiao-Chau was leased to her for fii- teen years as winter naval station.The treaty was denied at the time, but I was then able to assure you of its existence In substance.It is now placed beyond dispute, since its effective development 18 manifest.Imiao-Chau passes to Germany while Port Arthur become virtually a part of the Russian empire.But, as it would have become equally an integral i part of Russia, if used as a terminus, and as the treaty secured to Russia ai Chau, the question arises, why graceful concession on the part of Russia to Germany?.A glance at the map will make this clear.Japan had seized during the war the two great fortresses which control the | entrance to the Gulf of Pechili, and the way, through the Taku ports, to Pekin.The European coalition compelled them to evacuate Port Arthur, to the north.ut as a guarantee for the full payment the war indemnity they still hold Wei- hai-Wei, situated on the northern extremity of the great Shantung Peninsula, on the southeastern bend of which is the magnificent bay of Kiao-Chau.It was never thought likely that the Japanese would voluntarily relinquish their hold on Wei-hai-Wei.By consenting, therefore, that the Germans (who naturally aspire to the possession of the entire peninsula) establish themselves on the flank of the Japanese position, Russia has very cleverly insured to herself the active support of Germany in her inevitable struggle with Japan.The threat, therefore, of the \u201cmailed fist\u201d would appear to be aimed at Japan; while it is pretty clear that the Russian sphere of influence includes the whole of Northern China, Gerntany being i given free scope in mid-China.The two ' imperial neighbore are old hands at such transactions, the partition of Poland serving them as a precedent, and the tertius alter being, in this case, not Austria.Jdbut France.Britain is Preparing.In view of these far-reaching eventualities, the British, who have a formidable fleet of twenty-eight ships in these waters, have begun to stir iu earnest.Lheir mode of action will consist, according to all appearances, in a benevolent and disinterested protection of the menaced territories of the poor Chinaman.The Times is strongly of opinion that the occupation \u201cof the Chusan Islands, as controlling Shanghai, will be very much to his advantage; others suggest the seizure of the island of Quelpart, south of Corea, while that enterprising journal, the Daily Mail, aiready proclaims the begetting of \u201ca new British Empire,\u201d China having implored England to take under her protection the valley of the Yangtse River, a vast country, with untold wealth and hundreds of millions of inhabitants.Thus the centre of interest in world politics has all at once been transferred to the Far East, and as Japan is hardly likely to submit to the partition of a heritage which she first has shown to be available, the new year promises developments of a very lively description.It is but fair to acknowledge the thus far successful efforts of the Powers to keep the peace of Europe.But it becomes more and more clear that this peace can only be maintained by an extra-European activity, which must inevitably lead Lo collision.The enormoug growth of population, the fierce competition in the extension of trade, the struggle for the acquiring of wealth\u2014all intensified hy a prolonged peace under a crushing taxation and stupendous armaments\u2014nec- essarily urge European nations to seek relief in other countries.NO CHURCH SERVICE FOR DUBOIS.The Murderers Remains Will Lie in Unconsecrated Qround.Sherbrooke, Jan.7.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The faneral of the late Gedeon Dubois, who shot and killed Mrs.Alfred Tonguay and then blew out his own bruins, took place \"from his father\u2019s home to the Catholic cemetery.No service was held at the church nor at the house, the remains being taken straight to the burying ground and placed in the vault where they will remain until spring, when they will be interred cutside the consecrated grounds.Although no church service was held over the remains of the murderer and suicide, yet he was not laid to rest without some intercession on his behalf, for his poor mother, who i3 broken liearted since the news of - her .son\u2019s rash act reached her ears, did not sleep nor rest, but spent the whole ; time in weeping and praying, and just before the remains, were hidden forever, the .father knelt at the head of the coffin and.swrounded by hig family, relations and i friends, led, in, prayers and repeated the rosary several times.Then the coffin was clesed and the few, for friends were scarce, \u201cfollowed the hearse across the field to the cemetery.On the opposite side of the street, in the house where the unfortunate i woman, Mrs.Alfred Tanguay is laid out, there was another scene even more sorrowful.- Since the body was brought home from the morgue there has been a continu- ; al procession of visitors calling to see the remains as they lie in a coffin in the room where the fatal shots were fred.PLEASANT RECOLLEBCTY ONS, I kin sec the shimmerin\u2019 sunligh a-dancin\u2019 \u2019fore my eyes, sat sti An\u2019 the shadders in the water I Ki res less willers rise;

when martied, her hus band, and when her husband is old she must obey her son.Betrothals are arranged and fixed by the parents at a very tender age, and without the knowledge or concurrence of the interested pair.It even happens that sometimes the arrangements for the wedding are drawn up in black and white, and partly arranged, before the birth of the little girl, and she is unconsciously betrothed to and forever dependent on a man utterly unknown to her, and who, after the festivities, may ill-treat and dishonar her at will., Custom Reigns Like a Demon, and does not propose to change.Should the husband sicken and die, it is consider- | ed the acme of devotion and wisdom for! the bereaved wife to poison herself with opium and follow him to the grave to minister to his necessities in the unseen world.A voung man, a neighbor of ours, with whom I was friendly and conversant, died, and during the weeping and wailing of the mourners at the preparation for burial his wife, a very amiable young wo- r an, went into one of the side rooms alone and swallowed a large quantity of opium from her father\u2019s opium tray, and, after a few hours\u2019 struggle with death she passed away.The scene was a very sad one.The two burial processions passed out of the city gate together.\u201cChinese law does not admit of the pur.chage or selling of women, though the practice is not uncommon both among the mandarin and plebian classes.It is only fair to say that nothing can be said cr written as to Chinese custom univecsally; the adage says: \u2018Ten li from my native toms;\u2019 hence much of what is written and said on these and kindred topics of interest in and about the flowery kingdom must necessarily partake of a local character.La some parts of China the intended brides live and Grow up Little S'aves.in the homes of their intended husbands.While in other districts I have seen\u2019 à whole company go .off into paroxysms of ; irrepressible laughter at the very mention of western women being permitted to see their intended husbands before the wedding day, and there are intelligent and modest C'hinese girls who would blush pink to their eyebrows before they would go to the window lattice to see the form of their intended bridegroom pass along the road.This.is the result of custom, and it is particularly true, according *o the Chinese proverb\u2014\u201cThe course of the river and the.position of the mountains easily change, but the customs and dispositions of the people are hard to move.\u2019 When a marriage is apout to take place the parents on cither side are informed by letter through the middleman\u2014who is, by the way, an indispensable requisite in any business or social transaction\u2014and a place of meeting *s fixed for the discus sion of the important business.If the parties and families concerned are poor, possibly a well-known tea-house on a public street will be the most convenient .place to arrange for the final drawing up of the papers.which are hereafter signed and attested by both parties in the presence of witnesses in the homes of the interested parents.Women Not Sold.\u201cThe theory that Chinese wives are always bought has evidently grown wp out of the custom prevalent among the Chinese of passing money over the table at the signing of the deeds.This money is mostly and generally used for the purchase of the bridal trousseau and family requisites.\u2018When a convenient time is chosen for the fixing of the wedding arrangements, which is usually the occasion of winedrinking and gambiing among the middlemen and parents, a lucky day is fixed on, when the happy pair may enter the stately courts of a celestial home.A great feast is spread at the house of the bridegroom on the selected evening, and, meantime; the bride is preparng, amid the continuous roar of fire-crackers, to leave her home.In order to show her filial devotion, the bride, at the same time as the large gatly-decorated crimecon chair awaiting her at her father\u2019s door, is prostrate on the floor, wailing and mourning in piteous cries\u2014as only people in the east 18 | Will when we consider what much as 50 p.c.discour room for Spriug Goods, on all cash purchases.Our large Stock of Underwea Dressing Gowns.Pyjamas and UP-TO-DATE.The Publi With Itself When they find they have decided to hold onr annual Clearing Sale, and indeed they are to be congratulated means, the honest, straight reduction of 20 p.c.is no small concession, and in many cases we are giving as We are now taking stock, and find we have to make during this month, we are offering 20 p.¢.Discount Neckwear, (Newest Styles) Night Shirts, Collars.Cuffs and Shirts, (in all styles) Our Ladies\u2019 and Children\u2019s Departments are full and C___\u2014P be Shaking Hands a Clearing Sale at AITKEN'S it.commencing on Monday, and r (Unequalled) Hosiery, (best makes) Corsets Jackets | Children\u2019s Dresses Cloaks Flanellette Goods, Robes, etc, etc.Muslin Underwear Night Robes Costumes Suits 1757 NOI 3 20 PER CENT, DISCOUNT During the Month of January.JOHN AITKEN & CO, RE DATE STREET, Ci _ Aa OOOAQOVOMODOMCOMONCONOs( can\u2014that she should have to leave the parental roof.In a few nunutes she is in the hands of busy Chinese women, who wash, dress, trim and paint her for the great occasion, when she is ushered into ! the crimson bridal chair, and, with a great array of lighted lamps, firing of crackers and beating of gongs, she is hurried off, borne by chair4bearers to the hcuse of her bridegroom, where there is awaiting her a noisy reception.The doors of the hou-e outside are hung with scarlet ribbons and red paper lamps, and within is all the pomp and gaiety of an oriental wedding.The ceremony mainly consists in the worship of the parents by prostrations both before the parents and the ancestral tablets, the worship of heaven and earth, and the drinking of wine\" mixed in each other's cups by the bride and bridegroom, sitting respectively at the head and foot of the couch.The Proverbial Mother-in-Law.\u201cShe now too often becomes the slave of a cruel and hardhea=ed mother-in- law.Should the sacred ofiice of motherhood bring a ray of light into her home, the wife will rise a step higher in the estimation of the household, and especially so will this be assured if the firat- orn be a son.It is hate ahd mockery for her to learn of the freedom and ha piness ot her foreign sisters; and in her unhappy lot she can only sigh and attribute her fate to the unknown decree.\u201cThere is nothing saered or elevating in the Chinese marriage ceremony.That holy and humane imstitution, which is so sacred a tie in the bond and basis of society in Christian lands, is a loose and careless knot in pagan countries.\u201d @\u201d A NS A LA > The Lodges.OOOO DDD ODOC DOOD DOODEE G.A.R.Last Tuesday evening Hancoak Post, No.103, department of Vermont, Grand Army of the Republic, met at their hall, jointly with ladies of the Relief Corps, for the purpose of installing the officers of their a).ME NV VN ee ;
