IN THE JUBILEE CELEBRATION.THIRTY FIVE MILES OF SHIPPING IN LINE.Portsmouth, June 26.\u2014After a threatening morning the weather brightened dering masses of glittering uniforms, gay \u2014 multitudéi feet VAE and sailors of all ranks and nationalities.In gallant array off the coast were a hundred and sixty-six British war ves- gels, manned by about forty-five thousand men, aggregating some six hundred thousand tons to be reviewed by the Prince of Wales, representing the Queen, as the final display of ihe Jubilee cele- ®rations.The American Line steamship \u2018New York,\u201d with a large party of sightseers, left Southampton at five o'clock yesterday evening and took up the position assigned to her in the line of special mer chant vessels, off Ryde.As the American greyhound traversed the lines of British warships with the Stars and Stripes flying and a fine band playing national airs, each war ship dipped her flag and she was greeted with hearty cheers from the many thousands of blue jackets manning the fleet.As the \u2018New York\u2019 passed the German warship \u201cKoenig Wilhelm, the latter's band played \u2018Hail Columbia.\u2019 Ryde, Isle of Wight, June 26 (10 a.m.).\u2014The apotheosis of Great Britain has right - culminated on the waters of the Solen.London witnessed the sumptuous outpouring of loyalty, the love of a potentates which graced the Queen's triumph.Al of it put together, however, furnished no such living picture of the might of Britain\u2014the might that has made right over and over again\u2014as was afforded this morning by the great naval Nor has there reign.When Victoria ascended the throne the \u2018walls of England\u2019 were wooden.There were no steel battleships, no iron cruisers, no triple engines, no steam in use in war vessels, no search lights, no electricity in the service of man, no great or quick-firing guns, no torpedoes.The lights aboard were still lit with flint and steel and were no more Lrilliant than whale'\u2019s oil could be; the guns were still fired with a slow match, the three-decker was still the model of all that was worthy in naval architecture, and tonnage was reckoned within such modest limits that a vessel of more than two thousand tons was looked upon es a great wonder.Never before, therefore, had a sovereign seen such changes in the bulwarks of empire as bas fallen to the lot of Queen Victoria.At Spithead this morning was assembled the latest triumphs of the industrial resource under Victoria, triumphs of workers in iron and steel and metals, triumphs of inventors, triumphs of chemists and the giants of the laboratory, triumphs of the ship-builder, the engineer and the artisan; triumphs of the genius of a great nation.This may be demonstrated better by figures.In 1837 the total number of ships in com- small craft such as cutters, receiving ships, yachts and pocket brigs, the navy list comprised a hundred and twenty- nine ships, whereof the largest had a displacement of four thousand tons.The pavy list this year, including ships in and out of commission, but on the list, comprises four hundred and thirty-nine vessels, mounting two thousand nine hun- aR dred and fifty-nine guns, with a tonnage of 1,463,219 and a horse-power of 1,887,- £95.This growth has synchronized with the change from wooden walls to armoring westward almost to Cowes.The outer line of all on either side of the Sturbridge shoal and known as \u2018B\u2019 line, was composed of fourteen special merchant vessels, whereof the American liner \u2018New York\u2019 was one.Next in

successor to the late Archbishop Fabre to the Metropolitan See of Montreal has been the chief subject of conversation in Roman Catholic circles, since yesterday.The nominee to the high dignity was one of those whose names have been prominently before the public as a candidate for the office ever since the death of his venerable predecessor, and the official announcement of his appointment was received with general satisfaction.A man of sound piety, deep theological learning, literary tastes, exceptional oratorical powers and great firmness of will, the new archbishop is said to be thoroughly qualified to fill the responsible position to which he has been called.His knowledge of both languages \u2018will also help him materially as well as his experienct in matters of public interest, especially questions of education, while his refined and gentlemanly manners will win for him the love and respect of all classes of the coin- munity.The city clergy are unanimous in their approval of the choice made by Rome, and this verdict will doubtless be ratified by the curés in the country dis- have been, in latter years, to appoint men in the prime of life whose energy is in its full bloom and who may have time to carry out their programme for the full development of their respective dioceses.This policy is evidenced in this province by the appointment of Archbishop Lan- gevin, Archbishop Bruchesi and Bishop Emard, who, by the way, have all three been pupils of the Sulpicians in the Montreal College.The fact of the new prelate having been for several years one of the

throughout the whole diocese.Standing at the feet of the illustrious and Holy Pontiff, Leo XIII., father of both the flocks and their pastors, may we be allowed to express, in the name of all the Catholics and clergy of Montreal, a public feeling of profound and religious gratitude.To the bishon- elect and his venerable mother we convey herewith our heartiest and most respectful congratulations.\u2019 A \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter had an interview with the new archbishop this morning, and was received with the politeness and courtesy which has always characterised his dealings with the press.His Grace stated that the official news of his appointment arrived in Quebec vesterday, the Feast of the Sacred Heart, while he was celebrating high mass at the altar of the Sacred Heart, in the Ursuline Convent.This altar is the ge- cond one erected in honor of the Sacred Heart in the whole world, and the first in this country.It was erected by the Venerable Mother Marie De l\u2019Incarnation.After receiving the congratulations of the whole clergy of Quebec, Mgr.Bru- chesi left for Montreal last evening on was unavoidably prevented from coming himself.The Archbishop wishes to specially mention the kindness and attention of Captain Boucher, who placed the directors\u2019 stateroom at his disposal and hoisted the flag on the steamer\u2019s mast in his honor.Upon arriving here at eight o\u2019clock this morning Mgr.Bruchesi said mass in the Cathedral, and immediately after commenced to receive the numerous visitors, priests, nuns and distinguished citizens, who called at an early hour to bishopa, bishops and others came in from name of Napoleon, stated to the \u2018Witness\u2019: reporter that as archbishop he would adopt his other Christian name of Paul and sign accordingly.Among the classmates of Mgr.Bru- chesi in Montreal College were the following :\u2014Archbishop Langevin, Mr.F.D- Monk, M.P., Mr.Levy, notary ; Mr.Husmer Lanctot, advocate ; the Rev.C.Therrien, of this city ; the Rev.Canon Duhamel, of St.Hyacinthe ; the Rev.Abbé Chaffers, of St.Hyacinthe ; the Rev.Abbé Piche, now in Europe ; the Rev.Father Kiernan of Pembroke ; Mr.Drolet, insurance agent ; the Rev.Abbé Tennian of Providence.CLASS DAY IN HARVARD.HIGHEST HONORS IN HISTORY WON BY A MONTREAL MAN, Boston, Mass., June 26.\u2014Canada was not forgotten at the class-day

Militia and Defence, of Victoria, Aus tralia, is at the Windsor Hotel, accompanied by Lady Sargood.Sir Frederick has had an interesting and honorable PRESBYTERIAN FOREIGN MIS.| Presbyterian Mission executive will meet next week.A commissioner to the General Assembly, speaking of the resignations from committee, including that of the former chairman, Mr.Hamilton Cassels, said to the \u2018Witness\u2019 correspondent that the new order of things inaugurated in respect to the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, had probably the most to do with the critical con- diton in which foreign work had now been placed.The fact that the finance committee had in measured terms deprecated the large extension of the for eign missions committee\u2019s work, which had last year necessitated a special appeal to the loyalty of the membership, too, he thought, had its influence.He explained that though the male missionaries had many complaints from India to the General Assembly that the lady missionaries were able to control the policy of the council in mission fields in India, This was contended by the old executive to be unfounded.The council had been ccmprised of three male missionaries and three ladies, with a male as chairman, so that the men had numerically a majority.By the action of the General Assembly that council is to cease to exist and the lady missionaries in India are to have a separate council.It is feared and the Board will, in consequence of this change and of Mr.Hamilton Cas- sel\u2019s withdrawal from the chairmanship of the committee be seriously strained.Instead, too, of the General Assembly approving of estimates for India as was done formerly the executive was instructed to meet at the most convenient time and decide upon the approximate sum to be spent in the work in India for the year.The gravity of the situation is emphasized by the Moderator of the .General Assembly being called upon to WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS HE SAYS.London, June 26.\u2014The \u2018Echo\u2019 publishes an interview with Mr.Chauncey M.Depew, during which he is quoted as expressing the belief that the arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain will be law before British as land-grabbers.1 admit that when they grab, they give the people better government, but Americans fear they will not be content with grabbing the land of the old world, and are going to try to grab in the new world.Anything of the kind which is done in our hemisphere, we want to do ourselves.This suspicion of the foreign policy is the reason for the failure of the arbitration treaty, though Irish opinion may have helped, for America has deep sympathy for Ireland and home rule, as it seems to be the natural development of the federal idea.A permanent tribunal for Great Britain and America must come.President McKinley and the most thoughtful Americans are in favor of it.\u2019 \u2014 OAK POINT ISLAND.THIS BOUNDARY DISPUTE WILL

THE PRIVY COUNCIL.Toronto, June 26\u2014A large deputation of Hamiltonians, accompanied by promi- pent members of the Lord\u2019s Day Alli- Lance of Toronto, waited on Mr.Hardy yesterday and requested him to carry the Hamliton Sunday street car appeal before the Privy Council.It was urged that this was not merely a local question, but one of provincial importance, as it would affect the running of

Resolution Answered.At the last meeting of the provisional committee it was decided to discontinue the canvassing for subscriptions in cities until after August.Many of the honorary collectors and other citizens will be absent from their city home until the first of September.The movement is meeting with gratifying success throughout nearly every part of Canada.Many large subscriptions of a thousand dollars and over have been given.Outside of Canada the movement is being followed with a good deal of interest.Canadians living in the United States have signified their intention of taking part in it.One thousand dollars has- been.subscribed by Sir Roderick Cameron of New York.Collections of small sums throughout Canada show that the people are taking the matter up, and that they will carry it to a successful application.As instances of what has been done it may be stated that over a thousand dollars have been collected in Vancouver.The committee in charge in Montreal have intimated that a satisfactory response is being made in the commercial metropolis.Subscription sheets were left at many of the large factories and mercantile establishments.These subscription sheets are new being returned to the treasurer: Among the first that came in was one from the principal of a firm and some fifty employees, subscribing a hundred and sixty-three dollars.The clergymen of many of the city churches have intimated that they prefer delaying the taking up of the collections until the autumn, when a large number of the members of their congregations will be present to participate.; When the collecting of the funds is taken up in the autumn, after the retdrn of Her Excellency from Great Britdin, it is apparent that the remainder of the money required to start the order on a good basis will be subscribed readily.It is to be remembered that, after the gift by the Queen in 1887 of seventy thousand pounds to be used in founding the Queen's Jubilee Institute of Nurses, it was nearly four years before the nurses so provided were available for service among the people in Great.Britain.It is hoped that the Victorian Order will begin its active work ir the year after the time when the movement was first started.This is possible only because Her Excellency and the\" Canadian committee will have the results \u2018of the experience in Great Britain for their guidance.; VICTORIAN ORDER AND THE DOCTORS.OFFICIAL ANSWER TO THE RESOLUTION OF THE ONTARIO MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014I am directed by the executive of the provisional committee in charge of the movement for founding the Victorlan Order of Nurses to request the favor of the publication of the following in your paper.Thanking you in anticipation, I am,yours faithfully, JAS.W.ROBERTSON, Honorary Secretary.Your committee has taken into consideration the circular issued from the office of the secretary of the Ontario Medical Association which reads as follows: 137 Church street, Toronto, June 11, 1897.Dear Sir,\u2014I am directed by the Ontario Medical Association to call your attention to the following motion made at its last regular meeting .\u2014 It was moved by Dr.H.T.Mitchell, seconded by Dr.J.I.Fotheringham, That aft- ter caretul consideration of ihe scheme for the founding of a Victorian Order of Nurses \u2014g0 far as its detalls have been made pub- lic\u2014the Ontario Medical Association desires to express its full appreciation of the kindly motives that bave prompted the movement, but feels that it would be neglecting & serious public duty, If it failed to express fts unqualified disapproval of the scheme, on account of the danger which must necss- sarily follow to the public snould such an order be established : And that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to each member of the House of Commons.Yours very truly JOHN N.BROWN, General Secretary.And your committee begs to report: 1.The services of trained nurses are recognized by physicians and other: intelligent citizens in all civilized countries as helping to lessen the danger of all forms of sickness, to mitigate suffering where that is inevitable, ard to be frequently a means of saving life.2.The great need of trained nurses, and the good they would do in cases of stck- ness in the homes of the poor who cannoX now obtain them, are not matters of controversy.3.Tho announcement of the proposed Vic- torlan Order of Nurses states that the national fund to be raised is \u2018for the purpose of placing the ald of trained skilful nurses within the

1897.GOOD WILL AMONG MEN.The Queen\u2019s jubilee has filled the world with a great and, sad to say, almost a new joy, that which comes of a gush of mutual good will.The too frequent attitude of men and peoples toward each other is one of antagomism.Reproba- tion for wrong-doing or unkindness, real or supposed, forms, unfortunately, a large part of our sentiment, whether as men towards other men or as nations towards other nations, and reprobation, no mat- | ' minds that we are British in allegiance ter how much it may be a duty, does not make one happier.Very often it is quite undeserved, and we rasp oursplves % DAILY WITNESS.A for nothing.Approbation, on the other hand, gives pleasure to him who feels it.From a purely selfish point of view, then, it is in the highest degree wise to think as little ill of others as we can.To give voice to reprobation extends the irritation of it to others and multiplies pain when it reaches the person con- On the other hand, approbation, when widely expressed, is many times blessed.It is therefore promotive of the happiness of a man to find as few things to blame and as many to praise as possible in other men, at least in so far as this can be done without tolerating evil or allowing a general tolerance of it to grow ; and this is equally true of communities.Yet one who only superficial ly kmew mankind could hardly fail to conclude that the very opposite emotions were the most enjoyable, for men and women seem to take delight in speaking ill of \u2018their neighbors, and the most nat- -ura] feeling of one nation towards another is one of dislike.Indeed, ill will towards other peoples exists in men\u2019s hearts deeper than any moral condemnation of those peoples, being an inheritance from the tribal condition, in which enmity towards another race was as much accounted a virtue as love for one\u2019s own.In proportion to ignorance and mutual estrangement is this feeling tolerated ; but in proportion to nearness and the frequency of recrimination is it active and easily played upon.So responsive is it, indeed, to the slightest call that to excite dislike of another people is the readiest resource of distrzssed or discredited politicians, just as a loud profession of patriotism is, as Dr.Johnson brutally put it, the last refuge of scoundrels.demned.It is therefore the most interesting and delightful feature of the imperial rejoicings that it is joined in with, to all appearance, equal loyalty and fervor by countless and the most diverse races of men, all frantic with a common delight\u2019 and fraternity, no longer hating each other, but exhibiting a sort of foretaste of the coming kingdom, in which nation shall no longer make war against nation and when man to man the world o'er shall be brothers.If anything could be more keenly \u2018delightful to British ears than to hear their Queen\u2019s praises sung by men of other tongues from within her Own realms, it has been when a sympathetic note came from men of other allegiance, as when an unused harp responds with eolian sweetness to the notes of one that is rapturously played upon.This bas been particularly the case with regard to the genuine brotherly sympathy of the Americans, who have not been able to view with concurrent emotion the joys of their kindred.This emotion has been none the less vivid because the conditions which caused sense a surprise to our good neighbors.So distorted is the view almost universal ly held in the United States of the character of British rule that only an earthquake like this could remove the illusion.They could noi believe, no matter how often we told them, that we Canadians were happy ard proud in belonging to the British empire, and what was more, that we had good reason to be.In all their thinking liberty and national bliss was absolutely bound up with breaking away from that rule.They have, however, at last seen plainly that our British sentiments are as hearty and wholesome as their American ones, and have themselves broken out into a cheer.The kindly words which have filled for some days the columns of their press have given great delight in Great Britain and Canada, and the sentiments which backed them have done lasting good.Forevermore the two nations will be the more friendly as the result of them.it were in some If jingoism is an evidence of weakness in a statesman brought to the strait of securing popularity at home at the expense of friendship abroad, mothing is more majestic than the stern repression of every expression that may breed ill will or suggest the possibility of quarrel.\u2018I refuse to contemplate the possibility of war between two kindred peoples,\u201d was the word of Mr.Laurier when questioned as to the military strength of Canada.In these words are registered a decree gone forth from heaven and heard by prophet ears.They are the voice of a grand faith in the progress of the promised new earth.Nothing since the days of George Washington has done so much to restore harmony between the two sections of the English people as has this imperial jubilation, which has arcused in our neighbors not jealousy but | brotherly pride, and drawn them to us and, as a consequence, us to them.As for us in Canada, it is now settled in all of heart, if American in climate and EE rE ways.Let us henceforth look for that Ek Ta UAE SATURDAY, JUNE 26,1897.re which we can like in our neighbors and do what will make them like us, so that kindred as we are, and living on one lot, we may dwell together in harmony and mutual helpfulness.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014e THE PILOTS\u2019 £TRIKB Montreal, and indeed the Dominion, of which Montreal is the seaport, are to be congratulated upon the utter failure of the attempt of the pilots to throttle the commerce of Canada.There can now be no doubt about the outcome of the business.The pilots\u2019 strike has failed, and they know it.It is said that the strike is virtually at an end, and that the pilots will go back to their work today unconditionally.It will be well for themselves and convenient for, though not absolutely necessary, in the interests of commerce if they do so.But whether they do so or mot, the business of the port will go on all the same.The strike has only proved one thing, and that is that the navigation of the St.Lawrence can be carried on not only without the aid of the licensed pilots but in spite of all they can do to obstruct it.And it can be conducted safely.Caution and care must be exercised in the absence of the most experienced pilots, but no great delay or detention seems to be involved.It is to be observed, too, that navigation went on until the present without any change in the regulations or conditions governing pilotage ; it was not until yesterday that changes adding to the powers of the harbor .om- missioners to deal with the situation caused by the strike were passed by the commission and sanctioned, and in the meantime navigation has been little interrupted, though expensively disturbed.The altered regulations will, it is to be hoped, be allowed to stand permanently, and will, together with the new policy of the steamship owners to train their own masters as pilots, render all thought of future attempts of pilots at obstructing navigation of the St.Lawrence hopeless.Moreover, the new policy should, and must, in time result in the abolition of compulsory pilotage and the doing away of an extra charge on the commerce of the port.To this end the government should, whether the strike ends or not, carry out the recommendation of the harbor commissioners to mark out the channel with an increased number of buoys and lights.Every effort should\u2019 be made to render the channel of the river as safe and as easy to navigate as possible, especially in view of the government\u2019s new policy, which is to increase a8 much as possible the commerce between the Dominion and Great Britain.Trade and commercial interests of Montreal and the Dominion will feel assured by the failure of the strike of the pilots that they are safe at least from danger at the hands of such conspiracies as helped to kill the shipping trade of the city of Quebec.The St.Lawrence route, too, will, in view of the failure of the strike even to interrupt navigation seriously, be regarded with more favor by masters of ships which do not belong to the regular lines to this port.\u2014p MIQUEION.Tn its bearing upon the object of the subordinate mission attributed to the premier of Newfoundland during his present official visit to London, namely, the attempt to obtain a settlement of the French shore\u2019 difficulty, it is of some interest to note the importance attached to the cod-fishing industry of the Mique- lon archipelago as set forth in a report issued by the French minister of marine dealing with the auxiliary resources of the navy.A synopsis of that part of the report referring to Miquelon and St.Pierre shows that these islands are only valued as being, under present conditions, training centres for seamen.There are no fortifications mor, as the British contend, can there be any by reason of treaty stipulations, though this is not conceded by France.The revenue raised in the islands suffices for the ordinary expenses, but the bonus paid to the cod exporters is somewhat of a tax upon the national budget, and of late the business itself has been very unprofitable.On the other hand, the fisheries employ about ten thousand men, who are, of course, ynder the system of conscription, all liable to serve in the navy for a certain period.Outside of the fishing industry and trades immediately connected therewith there is nothing inviting about these islands, which comsist of the two Miquelons (Great and Little), St.Pierre, and a number of adjacent rocky islets.Great and Little Miquelon are connected by a broad sand-bar formed hy the cross seas constantly experienced in these waters, but occasional- ERE ly this bar has been cut through by the waves, so as to make a temporary canal.The area of the Miquelons is about eighty square miles that of Bt.Pierre about nine square miles.The slowly-decreasing population of the former, which practically possess no harbors, is only some three hundred people all told, while St.Pierre has a resident population of nearly three thousand.This latter population during the fishing season is increased to as much as fifteen to twenty thousand.Both Great Miquelon and St.Pierre are mere bare masses of porphyritic rock, varied here and there with conglomerate and trap.Their only vegetation consists of mosses and maritime plants, with juniper bushes to represent trec-life.The inhabitants of the town of St.Pierre have succeeded in forming gardens around their houses, but only by transporting soil for that purpose.On Little Mique- lon, or Langlade, on the contrary, there are some fairly cultivated farms, on which cereals are grown and cattle raised.These three islands have hilly eminences of five hundred to eight hundred feet elevation.This archipelago forms a danger to navigation, \u2018and since 1816 nearly three hundred vessels and boats have been wrecked on its inhospitable coasts.In its small way it has been a rival of the Goodwin Sands.St.Pierre possesses a very good and well- sheltered harbor, on which tho town of St.Pierre is situated.Here the commerce of all the islands is concentrated.Just outside the harbor, which is capable of affording anchorage to some hundreds of fishing vessels, is the Ile des Chiens, on which are the principal fish-curing establishments and the great platforms upon which the fish are dried.Hera also reside the fish-curers, men and women, nearly all Breton or Norman.The population of St.Pierre is indeed, with the exception of a small colony of Biscayans, nearly all of Breton and Norman origin, and the fish-curing establishments are generally the property of merchants of Granville, St.Malo, Dieppe and I'écamp.During the last century colonists settled, time and again, upon thesc islands, but they either soon grew disheartened and went elsewhere or, as happened on two or three occasions, they were expelled byw the British.It was not until 1816 that the present settlement took root.The fish when cured are for the most part shipped to Bordeaux.The annual entry of shipping into St.Pierre exceeds seven thousand, with an aggregate tonnage of about four hundred and fifty tbousand.Of these vessels over four hundred are built and fitted cut in France for the fishery, with a tonnage of some sixty-six thousand, and with crews of about fifty-stx hundred men.Of local vessels and sea-going boats there are nearly seven hundred, with an aggregate tonnage of about eix- teen thousand and crews of over five thousand.Many of these latter are young Frenchmen who are brought out to man these vessels at the opening of the fishing season.The catch of fish averages in good seasons forty thousand tons, but latterly the business has been far from prospercus.The total annual value of the export and import trade of St.Pierre is about seven million dollars.From this brief outline it will be seen that to a great naval power like France, with a comparatively small number of fishermen and seamen from whom to recruit her naval forces, the question of entering upon negotiations which might tend to a conclusion unfavorably affecting such a training school for seamen as the Newfoundland fisheries is a most serious one, and may well cause patriotic statesmen to hesitate.The grievance of the Newfound- landers in connection with French rights and claims touching a portion of the Newfoundland shore is a very real one, but the interest the French have in maintaining these rights and claims 1s also undeniably a large one.\u2014\u2014 A LAND OF MYSTERY.For some occult reason the Italian efforts to establish military protectorates on the Ethiopian shore of the Red Sea have been attended by many reverses.This is the more remarkable masmuch as Italian traders have for centuries frequented or have been residents in every town of importance along that coast.They have indeed been as ubiquitous in Africa as the Jew or the Greek.After great expenditure of life, treasure and military reputation the Italian Government has been compelled to give up its pretensions to the protectorate of Abyssinia, though it still holds its Red Sea province aptly named Er threa.In view of the fact that every foothold gained by Europeans in Africa 4 - à \u2014~\u2014 sal Su fig tor the An wo wa Ta Ba thi wit Sits Ca Th wh Ho don cou jou bee has bor Gal clai lala gen and pre hoc the and gen nur pov sms: cole neg Eur neg and

sympathy with a gallant and very friendly people.Such a confession of failure produces serious and far-reaching results.Just as the defeat of the Egyptian army under Hicks Pasha by the Mahdists encouraged the latter to enter upon and continue an, until recently, successful war against troops led by the hitherto reputed invincible European officers, so each fresh defeat of the Italians tends to increase the arro- gince and confidence of the natives, whether Gallas, Somali or Abyssinians, in their demeanor towards other Europeans.The Italian merchants and residents in Egypt, and African states in general, as well as their government, are on markediy British.interests friendly terms with the As far, therefore, as British concerned, it would be gratifving to have their friendship and co- cperation rather than the scarcely-con- cealed hostility of the Germans and French to say nothing of the intrigues actively carried on of late by Russian Abyssinia.are The fact that the Italians when facing at once the king of Abyssinia and the Mahdiets renounced the town of Kas- their Soudan acquisition, m favor of Egypt is proof of the kindly relations existing betw2en her and Great Britain.In this connection it should be remembered that the Italian campaigns in Africa have been attended by sume notable achievements.At the very time that a rash Italian general through l'a] generalship sustained the fearful de- ira: by the Shoan army in the passes of Adowa, a small force under Colonel Ste- successfully defended Kassala agumst a considerable army of dervishes, and later, saliving forth from Kassala, met the dervishes on the rocky plains surrounding that city and inflicted a ze- vere defeat upon them.Osman Digna led the dervishes, who were probably the same who broke the British square mear Suakim, and by so doing elicited Mr.Rudyard Kipling's famous ballad praising up the Fuzzie Wuzzie as \u2018a first-class fighting man.\u201d The latest trouble which has befallen the Italians is a trifling reverse at the hands of that puzzling race, the Somali, suffered by.what is desoribed as a punitive expedition.The loss in troops was small, but the immediate gain and, what is more important, the prestige remains with the natives.sala, only val Somaliland is, to all appearance, apparently destined within the next decade to be the scene of a good deal of rival exploitation by Eng- French, Germans and Italians.Roughly defined, it is a huge triangular district, being the easternmost promontory of Africa stretching five hundred miles into the Indian Ocean, forming the southern side of the Gulf of Aden, and having its apex in Gardafui.Its basa wonld be a line drawn straight southward the French settlement of Tadjourah, just outside of the Straits of 3ab-el-Mandeb.The northern part of : Hsh, irom this territory is held by the British, | with the fortress of Aden directly opposite, on the Arabian side of the gulf, as well as the Island of Socotra, lying off Cape Gardafui, in the Indian Ocean.The south is claimed by the Germans, who have there established the port of Hohenzollern-hafen.The French have drne but little towards opening up the c\u2018untry beyond taking possession of Tad- jourah.The Italian operations have been on an altogether grand scale, which has brought on hostilities mot merely with the Somali but with their neighbors, the Danakili, on the north, and the Gallas on the west.Italy has, in fact, claimed a protectorate over much of Gal- laland and Somaliland.Tbe Gallas have generally been tributary to Abyssinia, and more than one Galla chief has been monarch of that country, so that in the present temper of the Abyssinians it be- hroves any power intermeddling with these tribes to act both circumspectly ad with a force to meet any contin- gone.The Somali are broken up into a great numer of tribes, none \u2018of them very pewerfal.The people, though of rather sl] stature, are warlike and

antique enamels, glassware, glazed pottery, stone and alabaster vases, pearls and precious stones comstamtly being exhumed or picked up.Traces of former great cities are not infrequent.Near Zeilah, on

assumed that the much-needed exploration and development of this mysterious country will not be much longer delayed.The Fire Committee graced itself by deciding that each mem- Ler of the committee

:\u2014Aldermen Lefebvre, Marsolais, Archambault and Wilson.It is, on the other hand, to the credit of the City Hall Committee that it has broken away from the evil custom of favoring high tenders and awarded its coal contract to the person who offered to supply coal the cheapest.Aldermen La- porte, Stevenson and others spoke truly when they held that the ignoring of low tenders and the squandering of the city\u2019s money in a way in which not one of them would think of spending his own was a custom which could not be followed without resulting in deep dissatisfaction to electors.The satisfaction of the electors is perhaps the only conscience that in the cose of some aldermen 1s worth appealing to.Only Aldermen Archam- bault and Wilson held out for the highest tenderer being favored in the City Hall Committes.JUBILEE CELEBRATION AT ST.ANDREW'S.The Jubilee was celebrated in the vil: lage of St.Andrew\u2019s, Que., with much enthusiasm.Special services were held in all the

Sebastopol.\u2014 A novel and unique entertainment will be that given at the M.A.A.A.Grounds for five nights commencing Tuesday, July G.Hand & Teale\u2019s historical military pyro spectacle, the \u201cSiege of Sebastopol\u2019 is the name of it.It requires over three hundred people, soldiers, English, French, Zouaves, Russians, etc., to properly produce this gorgeous spectacle.The scen- ary, which is the work of the well-known and clever artist, S.R.G.Penson, is a masterpiece and covers acres of the ground.Special attention has been gziv- en to the historical correctness of the wardrobe used in the production and the same might also be said of the entire performance to the slightest and minut est detail.The \u2018Siege of Sebastopol\u2019 is full of brisk, rapid movement, and the interest never lags from the start until the final shot has been given.The several military corps of the city will take part.In speaking of a recent per formance an exchange says : \u2018It was indeed a grand and imposing sight.Promptly at 8.20 last evening the splendid band started up the first overture and the electrician turned on the lights \u201c0 that the large audience could get a good glance round and take in all the sights and scenery of the Redan and Fort Malakoff.It was a beautiful view and so realistic and true to nature that one could not help but imagine himself in front of a huge fortress looking for miles around on scenery that was simply STRIKE NOT OVER.\u2014 BUT PRESENT BRANCH PILOTS MAY NOT BE WANTED.TRIAL AND DISMISSAL OF P.BEAUDET.The pilots\u2019 strike is not yet over and the pilots have not at the time of writing intimated that they desire to come to terms.This morning the Harbor Commissioners met to try some of the defaulting pilots, and after a fair trial, they dismissed Prudent Beaudet.Some of the commissioners wanted also to inflict a fine of two hundred dollars, but it was at length unanimously decided that dismissal would be sufficient pun ishment., The Harbor Commissioners this morn ing wired to Ottawa the urgency of the placing of the buoys in the harbor and the approval of the new by-laws, and the Board of Trade, Corn Exchange, underwriters and shipping men wired also to the same effect.Meanwhile the ships, with one exception, continue to move out and in with ease and safety, and with the additional buoys and conferring branches upon the acting pilots it is felt that the strike will end by reason of the present branch pilots being not wanted.The shipping men met again this morning to report progress and the Harbor Commissioners meet this afternoon to examine pilots and award branches to those proficient.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 WHERE IS NICHOLAS ?\u2014 DEMENTED AND WITHOUT FRIENDS SEARCH IS BEING MADE FOR HIM.\u2014 TOE POLICE AND THE PRISON GATE MISSION ANXIOUS FOR HIS SAFETY.The management of the Prison Gata Mission are extremely anxious to get some trace of a young Englishman named Nicolas, who, on Monday last, was released from the penitertiary of St.Vincent de Paul after serving a three years\u2019 term.He called at the house of the vice-president of the mission, on Shaw street, at fifteen minutes to twelve on the evening of the 21st He was kindly received, and said he had seven dollars and wanted to go to Bristol, Sng, where his home was.He sald that the reason why he was out so late was that he was afrai@ to go to a hotel for fear of being robbed, and that a man was then following him with intent to rob him.He was recommended to go to a.respectable Tctel for the night, and the mission would pay half of the cost.He was told also to come back the next morning, and arrange- thent#would be \u2018made for his being ment se his friends in England.- .\u2019 \" \u2018The lad,\u2019 said an official of the mission, to & reporter yesterday, \u2018was only twenty- j one years of age, and should never have been sent to a penitentiary.11s proper place was a lunatic asylum, for he was de- cldedly demented.He was imbecile, and did not actually know how to take care of himself.He had that silly vacant stare, which is the sure token of an unhinged mird.We fully expected him back the next morning, but he never turned up, and realizing his unfortunate condition, we\u2019 became anxious about hin.He did not apparently have sars¢ enough to eat when hurgry, and would probably go walking on until he dropped from fatigue I have hurted through the jail, and in al} the police stations for bim, but without success.He seems to have disappeared completely.We have enlisted the services of the police and have.sent ont descriptions all over the district in the hope that he may yet be traced.We have everything arranged for his passage to Bristol.The Westmount police are also hunting for him.\u2019 Nicolas was dressed in a suit of dark clothes, and wore a sofa, black bat, and any one can recognize him by his silly, vacant look and actions.If the readers of ths \u2018Witness\u2019 come across such a man it would be an act of charity to communicates at once with the Montreal police or che Prison Gate Mission.WHISKEY AND SUICIDE.THE SAD STORY OF MR.ANDREW BELL.À sad case of attempted suicide occurred this morning in the east end.Mr.Andrew Bell keeps a grocery store at 42 Delorimier avenue.He is fifty-five years of age, and some weeks ago he lost his wife, since when he has been trying to drown his sorrow in whiskey.Tha Rev.Father Shea, of St.Mary's, visited him and tried to aid him, but on calling before six o'clock this morning at the store, where Bell lived alone, he found him lying on the bed with his throat cut, a razor still grasped in his hand indicating by whom.After calling a doctor to dress the wound, Father Shea had Bell conveyed to Notre Dame Hospital.There is a possibility of the man recovering, al- \u2018though his advanced age and his indulgence in intoxicants are against it.\u2014\u2014 WESTMOUNT METHODIST CHURCH The Rev.J.W.Clipsham and his family arrived yesterday morning from La- chute, and were met at the station by several ladies and gentlemen connected with the church and escorted to the parsonage, where a number of ladies had gathered to bid them welcome and to entertain them to a most delightful breakfast.Nothing could exceed the kind- nese and cordiality with which the new pastor and his family were welcomed and made to feel at home.Several others called in the evening to say a word of welcome.Mr.Clipsham will preach to his new congregation to-morrow, both morning and evening.PHILADELPHIA TEAM DEFEATED.London,\" June

Society was held in this city on June 18, there being present I).Jeremie Decarie, Esq., M.P.P., president; and Messrs.George Irving of Pointe aux Trembles, Joseph Delorme of Cote St.Michel, James Currie of Montreal and Daniel Drum- mond, jr., of Petite Cote, directors; and H.Brodie, secretary-treasurer.The following suggestions made by Mr.James Currie, onc of the directors, were read before the meeting, and those present expressed themselves satisfied with the same, and requested the secretary-treas- urer to forward a copy of such suggestions to the Honorable Commissioner of Agriculture for the Province of Quebec, for his consideration.The following is a copy of Mr.Curnie\u2019s suggestions: \u2014 The Commissioner of Agriculture in this province has now a grand oppor tunity to make such alterations in his department as will not only make it of the greatest importance to the province, but will also largely increase its usefulness.One of the first steps.towards this end should be the abolishing of the Council of Agriculture, which is too large to be of any practical use.In their place I would like to see a committee of five of the best practical men that can be found in the province, no matter what their politics may be, and let them be paid a good salary.At present the province is divided into five sections of the \u2018 Merit Agricole,\u201d which should by all means be continued.Place each member of this committee in charge of one of these districts with instructions to visit every agricultural society at least once every three months, 80 as to ascertain what the requirements and scope of each society is, and udvise the commissioner, so that each society may be governed according to its needs and not as they have been for the past twenty-five years under a set of cast-iron rules and regulations.This committee could have an oversight of immigrants who settle in this\u201d province and give them good advice and see that they are treated fairly, and thus obtain a favor able and cheap set of immigration agents, because if those ] eople who a e obliged te seek homes in a new country find that the government take an interest in them, they will naturally write to their friends and advise them to come and settle here.Another change could be made with a view to economy and better results of consolidating all the present agricultural schools into one.This could easily be done by having the instructors speak both French and English.This would also be beneficial to the students as they would soon learn to speak the two languages, which are so necessary in this province.The \u2018Journal of Agriculture\u201d now issued as two different papers, in.French and English, and only published monthly, should be placed in the hands of a competent editor, so that with the aid of a translator the same subject matter would do for both papers at a considerable saving, and this saving could be used to publish the paper fortnightly or even weekly, which would be better still.If the sum received for advertising were to revert to the paper instead of the publisher, it would go a long way towards paying for the cost of publica- lion.The commissioner should continue to encourage the dairy industry, especi- We should have a bureau of statistics similar to Ontario and several of the other provinces, so that people and the world at large could know that this province is the garden of the Dominion and that of crops as diversified, and of as high average as any of the other provinces.At present we have nothing of the sort, and as a consequence many an intending settler passes our door who would settle among us if he had any idea of the possibilities of our province.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 FREE TRADE IN THE NETHER- LANES.ELECTIONS TO THE SECOND CHAMBER RESULT IN THE OVERTHROW OF PROTECTION.Amsterdam, June 26.\u2014The results of the second balloting in the elections to the Second Chamber of the states-gen- eral

of the very grand seigneur Comte Robert de Mont- esquiou with Henri de Regnier, poet and pon-in-law of the poet-Academician Hérédia, is of more importance than its immediate result in the disabling of the former\u2019s aristocratic thumb.It is the first public manifestation of a class resentment smoldering since the fire of the Charity Bazaar.The class in question is made up of the young men whom blood, fortune, breeding and an affectation of culture have lifted above the correct dulness of average Faubourg Saint-Germain society.Soon after the disastrous fire it was muttered that some of these ultra-chic young men\u2014the \u2018 gardénias,\u2019 as they are called, from what a season ago was the correct button-hole flower\u2014had selfishly saved their precious lives at the outbreak of the conflagration, without the least generous effort to help in saving others.It was soon added that, while running briskly from the danger, they had used their canes and trampled ruthlessly on the helpless women in their way.A certain set of journals, whose cue it is to foster hatred of the old families of France, enlarged the number of these craven young aristocrats, whose presence at the fire was gratuitously supposed, and exaggerated their misdeeds abominably.These half-uttered accusations were in turn taken up and made definite by the foreign correspondents, from whom Paris high society has usually no secrets, since they are totally unacquainted with it.Thus an entire class of society woke up to find itself moralized on the world over as a brilliant example of the decadence of a race.It is high time that common justice should be shown to these young men by reducing imaginative reports, written with an eye to dramatic relief, to the level of what happened in simple truth.As to the Comte de Montesquiou, no matter what the cable despatches may have repeated ignorantly, he has never been accused personally even of being present at the Bazaar on the day of the fre.He has simply willingly taken on himself to represent the class of which he has long been the leader, socially and artistically.The facts in the case can be known only by comparing the impressions, however excited, of thoee who escaped, with the testimony of those in charge, and with What 1s the general rile at women\u2019s affairs of this kind.In this case it must be remembered that all the ascertainable facts have been sifted by the examining judge, who was appointed to investigate the responsibilities of the disaster from beginning to end.It is mere foolish prejudice to suppose that he would cover up any social scandal which might possibly fall under the law.Of course, it was not his business to pronounce publicly on the decorum or other qualitics of the actions of persons suddenly surrounded with appalling flames.It is certain that the total number of men in the Bazaar at the outbreak of the fire waa less than fifty, and probably less than thirty.Of these, about a dozen wers occupied with the arrangements of the sale, and had left hats, coats and canes in a vestiary near the entrance.Even a foreign censor of French decadence will hardly go so far as to suppose that these men took time, when the alarm was given, to look up their canes before escaping.Yet this supposition would be little less absurd than the preposterously unfair and unkind judgments of foreign newspapers which have been reaching Paris by every mail.Of the remaining twenty men or so who were present, middle-aged and leisurely persons interested in church or charitable work formed the greater number.Such were Baron Reille, the mil- Honnaire, hated by Socialists, who worked valiantly, at the risk of his life, and (Gen.Munier, who died of the burns he received.The young men of the class which now finds itself infamous before the world could have been counted on the fingers of one hand.The New York editor who has pronounced bravely that at all such charity fairs the number of men is equal to that of the women, has shown his utter ignorance of French customs.The Bazaar was this year, what it has been for many years past, and will always be until France changes essentially\u2014not a promiscuous society function, where men may flirt with women with whom they are unacquainted, and where unmarried young ladies use their coquetry to extract money from men they have never seen before.At the French Bazaar it i= women\u2019s charity that is appealed to\u2014 woman regularly controlling that part of French life\u2014and the articles on sale are for women and are expected to be bought by women in person.It is a woman's shopping-place in knick-nacks, to which young girls are taken, which would not be the case in France if miscellaneous men were to be met at every turn.Men accompany their womankind to the door, enter perhaps and look around for a few moments, and hurry away to a place more fitted for their tx.No man would linger in such a p:ace unless to please his personal acquaintances among the ladies who preside over it.À brief review of the insinuations which have been whispered about concerning definite individuals shows plainly how very slight is the basis of real fact on which so much monstrous accusation han been built up.One of the organizers of the Bazaar, whose sister-in-law per- (Correspondence \u2018 Evening y IN UN NS NS he VS y) \\ N nn * NEWMARKET NICETY, Another show collie owned by the Princess of Wales, is \u2018Bandringham Dainty,\u201d bred, as her name implies, in the royal kennels.Several of the Sand- ringham dogs won at the recent show of the Norfolk and Norwich Kennel Club, of which the Prince and Princess of | Wales are both members.One of the THE ONE OF THE PRINCESS OF WALES'S PETS.favorite dogs of the Princess of Wales is the collie \u2018Newmarket Nicety,\u201d now close on four years old.As her photograph shows, she is exceedingly typical.In color she is sable and white, and although rather small, she has won several first and second prizes in keen competition.ished in the flames, was said to have made no attempt to save any one but himself.In reality, he returned more than once into the midst of the fire, and was held back by force a last time, when it would have been fatal.An English gentleman, prominent in Catholic circles, was denounced by name.He received the flaming tar-cloth roof full on his head as it fell, where he was endeavoring to help women to escape.The Duc d\u2019Alencon, who was severely burned about the head, could not be expected to save his wife, from whom he was separated by too great a distance to know her movements in the confused panic.The sharp-tongued English lady who has been for so many years the Paris correspondent of London \u2018 Truth, exaggerates an account given her by the painter, Raffaelli, concerning the escape of his wife and daughter, the latter with ample heel: rint left on her body.Mr.Raflaelll ha French press a signed statement that his family had no accusations to make against the men present in the Bazaar at the outbreak of the fire.And so the list goes on.An American lady who escaped, saw a man-\u2014one of the \u2018few men\u2019 she had seen in the place\u2014strug- gling to free himself from half-a-dozen women, who, in their terror, impeded his every movement to save himself or them.Publicity has already been given to the woman who clung to a ladder in abject terror, going neither up nor down, and depriving others as well as \u2018herself of this only means of safety.It is hard not to praise the man who forced her to relax her hold.Co In sum, apart from the instinctive actions of both men and women, each according to their nature and habits, under sudden, maddening and uncontrollable excitement, this is what remains of the accusations brought against a whole class on account of the alleged behavior of a scant half-dozen of its members.Certain ladies, who are unwilling that their names should be published, state that they saw these \u2018chic young men behaving abjectly in the midst of such danger, and\u2014using their canes to beat back the women in their way.And an attempt has been made to use this statement for the purpose of \u2018 turning down\u2019 socially two or three of these young men.It is said that one such lady definitely requested onc such gardenia to ,withdraw from her presence, where he had ventured to appear, or to bear the consequences by hearing her reasons explained before the assembled company.In none of these cases have the names been given to the public.\u2018Two young men, sons of a pro- mirient Hebrew banker, with the \u2018entree\u2019 of fashionable society, had the turn- ing-down process tried on them.They had the courage and good sense to publish in the newspapers the proof that they were not even present either at Bazaar or fire.As time elapsed, imprudent gossip and evil-intentioned society rancors naturally profited by rumors which could no longer be easily disproved.It is this secretly festering social sore, rather than the interested slanders of social revolutionists echoed by ignorant, foreign journalists, which Comte Robert de Montesquiou has taken on himself to bring to a head.It is a pity than an indiscretion of the Hérédia ladies should have forced him to have the matter out with so sympathetic on personage at Henri de Regnuier.Mms.de Hérédia, wife of the French Cuban whom a small book of sonnets, polished and chiselled for seventeen years, brought into the French Academy, narrowly escaped with her daughter from the flames.Their escape was made beautiful by one of those acts of self-sacritice by which women always distinguish themselves above men in time of sudden danger.A woman who was a stranger vielded her own place, at the risk of her life, rather than separate mother and daughter.Their words would have all ~ previously ~ given \u201ct§ the |\u2019 the more weight in regard to the ac- cusations brought against the men at the Bazaar, although even with them el lowance would have to be made for the mistakes inevitable in the midst of such excitement.As it is, even after the duel in which he came off best, M.de Regnier denies that his wife or her sister, Mlle.de Hérédia, uttered any words that should be interpreted as nom- firming the charges brought against M.de Montesquiou\u2019s young men.The Count, he declares, was looking out for the occasion, which was perhaps not vn- natural when the gravity of the attack on his class is considered\u2014something which M.de Regnier does not seem to appreciate.THE LATE LIEUT.-GENERAL E.0.HEWETT, C.M.G.i.Lieut.-General E.0.Hewett, C.M.&., governor of the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, died at the commandant\u2019s|.A few weeks ago.ed, who was

Mr.Foster affected to wish to see business closed up as soon as possible.If the bill respecting the return of school funds to Manitoba was dropped it would shorten matters, but candidly he did not think thev could bring matters to a close before Monday night.in committee considered 8 3 pr 1 +5 get \u2014 = La Ae?PE rn Eee ES rf Sir Richard Cartwright said he would return an answer on Monday as to going on with the bill providng for the payment of the school fund to Manitoba.The discussion on the items for the payment of the commissioners appointed to investigate the conduct of officials was resumed by Mr.Bergeron, and continued by Mr.Quinn, who made a long speech on the dismissal of laborers on the La- chine canal.Mr.Madore replied.Mr.Powell repeated Mr.Foster's contention that the executive had no right to apply public money to purty purposes, and that was the object of these investigating commissions.After further discussion on some Maritime Province dismissals, the item carried.A vote of $1,400 to provide certain increases of salaries under the Civil Service Act was opposed strongly by Mr.Foster, and Mr.Mulock therefore moved to strike out the item, which carried.On the items for public buildings Mr.Tarte moved to strike out the item of 25,000 for a building for St.Martin\u2019s, N.B.Carried.On the item of $5,000 for a building in the town of Berthierville, Mr.Somerville expressed pleasure at the decision of Mr.Tarte not to recommend these grants in future in small places.The item passed.The committee reported all supply being through except the item for the In- tercolonial extension.Mr.Foster suggested that they should go on now with the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass railway bill, but Mr.Blair said he would not move it, as some of those who wished to speak on it were absent.Mr.Foster insinuated that Mr.Blair wished to burk the bill, but Mr.Blair replied, \u2018Not at all\u201d The Opposition, while professing to further it, had attacked the government over it, and made statements that had to be answered.Mr.Foster\u2014 Well, go on, now ; we are ready to listen to you.\u2019 Mr.Blair\u2014\u2018We are not ready to go on now.The House then adjourned at 12.35.THAT PROPOSED INVESTIGATION.The proposal of Senator Miller to have a committee \u2018appointed by the Senate to investigate the receipt and disbursements of the subsidies given to the Drummond County Railway Company, is likely to be dropped or burked by the Conservatives, because if such an investigation is held it will result in disclosing that these public subsidies were awarded by Conservative leaders for campaign funds.It is to be hoped that in the public interest an investigation will be held before next session by a commission appointed by the House of Commons which is the House solely responsible for the control of public expenditure.It would be unconstitutional for the Senate to enquire into money matters.TIHat 15, Hrû atways has been, ously guarded prerogative of the elective chamber.In any event, disclosures of misappropriations of subsidies would not affect the utility of the road as a connection between the present terminus of the I.C.R.and Montreal.IN THE SENATE.In the Senate, bills Imposing export duties and the petroleum inspection bill were passed after debate.The loan bill was read a first time.On the bill providing for Judge Pren- dergast\u2019s salary, Senator Ferguson said that unless Sir Oliver Mowat would undertake to issue a commission of enquiry into the charges of misconduct against Judge Prendergast in an election, he would move to strike out the clause pro viding for salary.Sir Oliver Mowat refused, and Sir Mackenzie Bowell suggested that if the as surance was not forthcoming on the third reading of the bill, the motion might be made.Senator Ferguson agreed, and the bill was read a second time.The alleged misconduct of Judge Prendergast in an election.refers to a period before his appointment as judge.tes SUING A JUDGE.Halifax, N.S., June 25.\u2014Some time ago Mr.Justice Weatherby, of the Nova Sco- tia Supreme Court, brought a suit against Mr.Henry M.Whitney of Boston in regard to some mining property, and Mr.Whitney was capiased during a visit to the city.W.B.Ross, Q.C, acting for Mr.Whitney, to-day issued a writ against Judge Weatherby, claiming fifty thousand dollars\u2019 damages for alleged malicious use of judicial proceedings and for false arrest.[OY A TREASURER IN TROUBLE.Toronto, June 26.\u2014J.C.Gibson, secre- tary-treasurer of the O'Keefe Brewing Company, was arrested on Thursday

health and spirits, and smilingly conversed with those around her, evidently much pleased at the children\u2019s gathering.Each child wore a commemorative medal, and finally all joined in singing the National Anthem.The firemen\u2019s parade was one of the largest ever held in England.There were 1,200 men in line and a hundred engines.The Duke of Marlborough, as president of the National Fire Brigade, presented the officers to the Queen.While the Queen and the Empress Frederick were dining this evening, a thousand Eton boys, with bands of music, entered the quadrangle of the castle and

says :\u2014 We understand that before the colonial premiers depart for their homes they wiil have conferences with Mr.Chamberlain, colonial secretary, in the direction of federation, at which actual proposals to that end will be considered.Canada\u2019s tariff proposals will likely be the basis of the fiscal union and the offer of Cape Colony to contribute to the navy the hasis of the defence union.\u2019 } London, June 25\u2014During the debata on the colonial .estimates, Sir Charles Dilke urged that the government of the West Indies be placed on a wider popular representative

CONTRACT.CURIOUS VIEWS OF SOME CITY FATHERS, The City Hall Committee met again yesterday afternoon and tried to settle the vexed question of how to dispose af its contract for three hundred and fiity tons of coal.At a previous meeting no decigion could be arrived at on the que.- tion, as half the members wanted to award it to the highest tenderer, while the other half favored the lowest tenderer.Ald.Penny presided at the meeting yesterday, and there were also present Aldermen Stevenson, Laporte, Charpentier, Archambault and Wilson.The tenders were once more laid on the table, and it was pointed ont to Ald.Ar- chambault, who was absent from the pre- V meeting, that with the exception of Mr.William Bellingham, who offered to supply the coal for 85.70 per ton, and Mr.Langlois at 85.75, all the other ten- derers asked $5.85 per ton.| Ald.Stevenson\u2014'At the last meeting it was thought by some of the members that Mr.Bellingham should not be given the contract owing to the rumor that he did not keep a regular coal yard in the city.I have investigated this and other rumors about Mr.Bellingham, and I find that he has a very large yard here, and that he is a business man of gogd standing.This information will, I hope, do away with the prejudice which has existed against Mr.Bellingham.\u2019 Ald.Wilson of Hochelaga Ward was still discontented, however, and upheld the doctrine that the combine in coal should not be interfered with by people like Mr.Bellingham, who besides his coal business dealt in railway supplies.Ald.Archambault had much sympathy with the views expounded by Ald.Wilson, and also held that men who dealt solely in coal should not have to enter into competition with men who bad divers ways of making a livelihood.He moved that the contract be divided up between Messrs.Labrecque, Cousineau & Co.and T.F.Moore & Co., at $5.85 per on.Ald.Stevenson\u2014For the life of me I do not see why we should pay these two dealers fifteen cents a ton more than Mr.Bellingham offers to supply it for.\u2019 Ald.Wilson referred to the fact that last year the Fire Committee had decided to allow each of its members to peddle out their coal contract to the various dealers, and so, as he did not favor the lowest teuderer getting the contract, he moved that each of the members of the City Hall Committee should peddle out the three hundred and fifty tons.Ald.Stevenson was very much opposed to this proposition, and made a motion that the contract be given to the lowest tenderer, Mr.William Bellingham.Ald.Laporte took a businesslike view of the question, Personally he knew Mr.Bellingham supplied good coal and that he paid his taxes like any other coal dealer ; but the question at issue was the principle of ignoring the lowest ten- derers and spending the city's money in an unbusiness-like manner.\u2018I ask those who are opposed to giving this contract to the lowest tenderer if they would insist upon paying fifteen cents more a tou for coal they supply their private houses with than they had meed to do ?Let us act fair in this matter and not open the door to a custom which, if generally fo!- lowed, could only lead to much dissatisfaction among those who have elected us.\u2019 After further discussion Ald.Stevenson\u2019s motion to award the contract to Mr.Bellingham was carried, Aldermen Wilson and Archambault alone voting against it.oe MONTREAL ARTISTS.Mr.A.T.Chapman, of 2407 St.Catherine street, is exhibiting on his premises a collection of oil paintings and wa- ter-color sketches by well-known Montreal

runners, bringing { manacles and fetters.To the magistrate came the opposing factions and each laid their.complaints.He- was willing to \u2018believe beth: and said he would.consider.matters, In the meantime he, with his retinue, lived at the expense of the com batants.He eat their bread and salt, drank their tea, smoked their tobaeco and opium and slept on their mats.The village was his for the

were counted up and when the tally was made it was found that one of the factions had slain four more men than the other.Then the losses of crops, dwell ings, etc.,, were summed up and the magistrate decided in favor of damages to the extent of two hundred dollars and orderad the other faction to pay the same.Then the magistrate and his retinue, after taking a number of men from each clan, as hostages, departed.The storm was over for the time being, but all was far from well.two clans were not satisfied at the de- cirion of the magistrate, the one holding that the compensation was not enough and the other that it was they who were entitled to the compensation.Some of the more wealthy members of the community, - however, sighed for a discon- tinuanpe of the strife ; they did not like to -seé*{ Meir plantations going to ruin, so they \u2019asked the missionaries to come to the réscue and see if they could quell the turmo#t.Now, to be a peacemaker may be quite right, but it is not always practicable or judicious.The missionaries, though, were cautious, and they soon restored the district to its peaceful condition again.They then sent a mis- sionary worker to each of the factions, and all went well and many converts were made.The fields were once more under cultivation and the sky again was clear.Then came a most untoward event.One of the prisoners confined in the prison died, and the members of his faction attributed his death to the comfinement.The old animosity was then rekindled, the buried hatchet was resurrected, and the war began anew.The missionaries aguin tried to effect a settlement, but all The ; to no avail.Fighting ensued, and the friends of those killed burned for revenge, making it almost iinpossible to arrive at a settlement.Doth parties were now again eager to get at each other's throats.At last the fight broke out in all its fury.Tt was wav to the knife.Both clans were entrenched behind barricades a short distance away from each other, amd matchlocks, gingals and evi- cracking away like mad.There was a tremendous yelling behind the barricades, and shots were going at a rate of from forty to fifty a minute.There was a constant rattle of musketry, and occasionally a bullet would strike one of the contestants \u2018who had rashly exposed himself, and with a muttered curse he wuld roll back behind the earthworks.Bot bright and

provided they are fortunate enough to obtain specimens.These monkeys are found in certain dis- triets of East Africa, and pass most of their time in the dense forest clothing Mount Kilima Njaro and other districts of that section.The black trees in which they make their homes are thickly draped with gray beard moss or lichen, which reaches for several feet stemmed below the boughs.As the monkeys hang of seeing the animals in their native haunts it is almost impossible to divine what that purpose may be.It is met with elsewhere in the ye bras and also in the remarkable parti.colored bear of Thibet.Although the former apimals are conspicuous enough In à stall at the Zoo, or when stuffed in a museum, travellers tell us that when seen in the haze of an African desert their black and white stripes fade =! very short distance to an almost invisible gray.This may even be observed in a hot summer when the grass is burned brown in some of the private English parks where several of these beautiful animals are allowed to roam at will during.the summer months.Dr.Gregory's observations have fuliv solved the problem of the use of the re: markable coloration of the guerezas, which has so long puzzled the brains of naturalists.Decisive evidence is apparent that the black and white coloration of these animals protects them by a close resemblance to their inanimate surroundings.There are, however, certain smaller animals with a similar type THE MONKEY AND HIS HAIR, from tha branches Dr.Gregory says that he found it impossible to recognize them even when only a short distance away.These monkeys are known to the natives of certain districts of East Africa to the group of thumbless apes which are restricted to the African continent, where they take the place of the lan- gurs, or sacred apes, of India and other From the other thumbless apes the guerezas, or the species to which that name properly apphes are distinguished by their long, silky, black and white coats, which are much sought aftér by the native of Africa as articles of théir scanty costume and for purposes of decoration.In the typical Abyssinian guereza the greater part of the fur of the body and limbs is of a deep, shinirg black, but from the shoulders there depends a mantle of long white, silky hair, extending down each side and meeting on the lower part of the back, so as to hang down | over the sides of the body, as well as! over the hips and thighs.The terminal | third of the tail is also clothed with long white hairs.Strikingly liandscme as is this species it is excelled in this respect by the East African guereza\u2014the one met with by Dr.Gregory\u2014in which the base of the tail alone is black, the whole of the remainder of that avpendage being developed into a magnificent white brush, which may be compared to an Indian chowri or fly whisk.Black and white is a type of colova- tion so conspicuous and at the same time so rare among the larger mammals, that whenever it occurs we may be sure it is develeped for some special purpose, although, unless we have an opportunity - I] ve A 2 ors ogy, may of coloration in which the startling con trast of black and white seems to be for the purpose of rendering them conspicuous, and as some at least of these creatures are endowed with a most disgusting odor, their conapicuousness has been regarded as warning other animals from attacking them.\u2014\u2014 SOPRANO VOICES OF WOMEN.It was a woman scientist, Mrs.Emma Seller, who discovered -in the human larynx the anatomical reason why wo: nan has a scprano voice.She was 8 German, born mm Wurtzburg.L ft « widow with two children to support, «he resolved to become a teacher of singiniu.but suddenly lost her voice.Then she determined to find out why ;

\u2018But horrors, revolting crimes, and vil- lanies are certainly not quite fit reading for women.\u2019 This is a word my Harry, not otherwise too reverent, speaks always with reverence.\u2018And why not for women?This is our world.Why should we not acquaint ourselves with the place we inhabit?That iz the broadest and the deepest cducation.And when I take up the morning papers I feel that I am reading Balzac and Victor Hugo and George Eliot and Shakespeare, all in one; yes, and Laura Jean Libby and Mary J.Holmes.Surely, the truth.the absolute truth, about life\u2014its grandeurs and its frivolities\u2014must be proper reading,either for men or women.\u2019 \u2018I can't agree with you, Doris.We need alld \\ = ha \" il AN Hi 2 PARIS CALLING COSTUME.the philosophic mind before we can con- teinplate and analyze life at close range.\u2019 \u2018And I think, on the contrary.that it Is the study of life alone that can give us the philosophic mind.\u2019 \u2018But this getting down to fact must destroy the beauty of the ideal.\u2019 \u2018No: nothing can destroy the beauty of the ideal.It is all the more beautiful when ths facts are unlovely.The keen eyes that detect flaws, you know, are the eves that first discover the gems.And there are some gems entirely flawless, both human i and mineral.\u2019 \u2018I'm not sure about the human,\u2019 protested Harry.\u2018Well.then, we'll say almost flawless ; and all flaws, and the unworthiness of all the gems in the world, cannot make the pure gems less bright.In a newspaper paragraph it is a condition that confronts us, not a theory.\u2019 \u2018The theories come afterward,\u2019 said Harry, dryly.\u2018And isn't that right?How can we cure an evil unless i* is first made pain to us?The cleverest surgeon in the world must examine a wound before he can heal it.Now you are thinking, after all.that I am not far wrong, are you not?\u2018I was thinking how fond you are of metaphors,\u2019 said Harry.\u2014Leslie's \u2018Weekly.\u2019 THE TENTH PROBLEM.It is well to be fully convinced in one's own mind.\u2018Canadian Working Girl\u2019 has evidently solved the \u2018giving a tenth problem\u2019 to her own entire satisfaction, and is to be commended for living up to her convictions, but to my mind the \u2018giving to the Lord\u2019 problem is as far from solution as ever.Thus saith the scripture: \u2018He and agaln our Saviour says, \u2018the poor ye havo always with you, but me ye have not always.\u2019 In my opinion here as elsewheras circumstances alter cases; \u2018Canadian Working Girl\u2019 hes confessed that aii of her wages, four dollars a week, she spends on hers2lf, excepting the forty cents that sh2 calls her tenth, viz., three dollars for board and washing.s'xty cepts for incilental ex- perses.Evidently she lcoks out for number one.Clearly she is not the mother of a family.Lot us suppose a case, and there are many such: A working man earns six dollars a week.He has a wife and six children to support.How do they live?There is rent to pay, fuel to buy, and food and clothing to provide for a family of PTE TE MECS ALTER ET ge SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1897.conscience, especially if it.Is an elastic one, with such excuses for disregarding one's promises, but they are seldom frund satisfactory to those who may be concerned in the keeping or breaking of our pladges.How implicitly a little child trusis the statements of its parents and what golden opportunities parents have of inculcating in their children a love for truth.Truly \u2018example is better than precept.\u201d Let not thoughtlessly make promizes to our is children to satisfy them for the time brine and which we may, to say the least.find very inconvenient when the time comes to redeem them.Who has not scen the look of surprised disappoiniment oun the lille upturned face as the chi'd uses the, to him, unanswerabie argument, \u2018Bu.you pro- cight.Would this man be justified in taking sixty cents to give weekly to the church and missions, while his children went about celd, hungry, uneducated, bare footed, and himself and wife were slowly dying for lack of the common necessaries of life?I do not believe it.He might be justified in relieving the necessities of a widow or orphan even poorer than himself, but to give to the church, no.The church is often very selfish.I say it, who am closely allied to church and clergy; who have been a mission collector for years,and know that often those who were least ablo | to give, gave most willingly.Let people | not exact from others what they ars not | willing to dc themselves.Would \u2018Cana- | dian Working Girl\u2019 give forty ceats a week | to the church sf she heard her sick baby!

Are you coming?The tea\u2019s all ready and waiting, and if you are not quick you will miss Jack's tram, and be too late for school.How should you like that?\u2019 Molly would not like that at all, for she was trying to gain a medal at the Board School to which she went every day, and the year was very nearly ended now, only one more month.Molly had not missed a single attendance, and how she thought of that medal every day, and remembered the bitter disappointment she had felt a year ago at not receiving one of the beautiful shiny silver things in the blue plush case, when the \u2018perfect\u2019 attenders had carried off theirs with pride! But Molly would not be disappointed this time; no, she would be one of the proud and happy owners herself.So she called out cheerfully, \u2018Yes, muvver, I'm comin\u2019,\u2019 and after a hasty little wash of her chubby brown hands, she ran quickly down the stairs and into the back kitchen, where her mother was clearing avey after the midday meal.Molly was only a very little girl, just turned six, but every day, on her way to school in the afternoon, she met the tramear on which her brother was cons ductor, and handed him his can of tea and parcel of thick bread-and-butter, and sometimes, to Molly's great delight, she had a ride as far as her school, for the tram went right past the very door.* Now, Molly, child, come,\u2019 said her mother, as the little girl burst into the room; \u2018make haste, and mind you don\u2019t gril the tea, and tell Jack to be sure ana come straight home.\u2019 \u2018Yes, muvver, I will,\u201d and as she spoke Molly put up a pair of rosy lips to her mother\u2019s face to be kissed, picked up the can of tea in one hand and the par- cu! of bread-and-butter in the other, and marched off in a brisk, womanly little way down the street, along the bottom ©! which the tram would pass.Moily had to wait some minutes; she bezan to get very impatient, and to wonder if she had missed her brother; tien she thought of the medal which ske did want so badly, but just then she arid a whistle and saw the horses come rund the hend in the road; and, yes, was Jack looking out for her.Would is give her a ride to-day, because sae must ke early for school.tere Retail MEN'S OUTFITTERS.TOOKE, R.J., 177 St.James, 2387, 1553 St.Catherine MUSIC DEALERS, SHAW, J W., & \u2026 2274 St.Catherine street.PAINTS, OILS, GLASS.STEWART & CO., 23 Bleury street, PIANOS AND ORGANS.LINDSAY, C.W., 2366 St.Catherine street.NEW YORK PIANO CO.446 St.James, near Inspector strect, PRATTE PIANO (CO., 1676 Notre Dame street.SHAW, J.W., & CO.2274 St.Catherine street.PICTURES AND PICTURE FRAMES, JOHNSON & COPPING, 743 Craig street.PHARMACEUTICAL OHEMISTS.GRAY, HENRY R., 122 St.Lawrence street.MANN, À.D., cor.of Mountain and St.Antoine sts.MCCORMACK, P.,& CO.,cor.Notre Dame and MoGUL PHOTOGRAPHIC GOOBB.COTTINGHAM, DICKBON P.& CO.1822 Notre Dame street and 19 Fhittipe square.MONTREAL.PHOTO SUPPLY 04 8t.Franools Xavier st.RUBBER BTAMPS AND STENCILS, WALKER & CAMPBELL, cor.McGill & Notre Dame.SADDLERY AND HARNESS, ROBERTS, J.W., 338 St.James street.ETERLING SILVER & ELECTRO PLATE.SIMPSON.HALL, MILLER & CO.,1784 Notre Dame.SPORTING GOODS, HOLLAND, G.A, & BON, 2411 8t, Catherine street STATIONERS AND EOOK BINDERS.MORTON, PHILLIPS & (O., 1755 Notre Dame st.WALL PAPER.HOLLAND, G.A., & SON, 2411 St.Catherine street.Professional, &c.ADVOCATES.BUTLER & CARMICHAEL, Room 21, Temple Building.T.P.Butler, QC.8.Carmichacl.BURROUGHS & BURROUGHS, 2, 613 New York Life Bid\u2019 % CRANKSHAW, JAMES, Imperial Building.CRUIKSHANK & CRUIKSHANK, Imperial Bld'g DAVIDSON & RITCHIE, 181 St.James street, HALL, CROSS, BROWN & SHARP, Temple Bld\u2019e.JOHNSON, HAUL & DONAHUE, o.73 and 26 Temple Building LIGHTHALL& & HARWOOD, 180 St.James st.LIGHTHALL Ma.F RSL.C.A.HARWOOD, B.C.MORRIS & HOLT, Temple Putidiog.RYAN & JACOBS, New York Life Building.SMITH& MARKEY, Temple Building, 185 8L James street.WEIR & HIBBARD, 180 St.James street.ANALYSTS AND ASSAYERS, DONALD, J.T., 112 Bt.Francols Xavier st.HERSEY, MILTON L., B.A.8c., (Mo(HH) 6 Bt.Sacrament street.ARCHITECTS.COOKE, ARTHUR J., Fraser Building, 43 Bt.Bacrament street.NOTARIES, HUTCHESON, R.B., 204 St.James street.LYMAN, A.C, Standard Building, I57 St.James st.steam The tram stopped, and Molly was lift- | ed on to the platform by het big brother, of whom she was very proud; he was always so kind to her and loved her so very much; but it was no wonder, for Molly was the dearest, chubbiest, sweetest little sister a boy ever had.Her delight knew no bounds now, when she was seated in the corner on the velvet- cushioned seat, and was able to look about her and admire the pretty dresses of the two ladies at the other end.Molly chatted away to her brother all the time, one minute leaning back in her corner just like a grand lady riding in her own private carriage, and the next staring out of the window at some object of passing interest.But at last the happy ride came to an end, and the big, red school-building was reached.Once more Molly put up her rosy little lips.She was so used to being kissed by everybody she knew and loved, that it never struck her that people did not usually kiss in public places.Tt did not appear to strike Jack either, for he bent down his head and kissed his pretty little sister.The tram stopped and Molly jumped off the steps, and was just running across the road when a baker\u2019s cart rushed round the corner; there was a sharp cry, the man in the cart did all in his power to pull up his horse; but it was of no use, poor little Molly was knocked down, and a wheel went over her tiny leg with a terrible crunching sound which made Jack\u2019s heart tum sick with dread.À crowd gathered round the poor, crushed little mite, who was soon lifted up in her brother\u2019s strong arms, and Leld tenderly until a cab was brought, when the poor fellow was obliged to relinquish his darling and return to his tram.The people were very kind, and one of the two ladies, who had seen the accident, accompanied the policeman who had taken charge of Molly's poor little still form to the hospital; while the other promised Jack to go and break the terrible news to his mother and take her to see Molly.Mrs.Clarke, Molly's mother, was almost frantic at the thought of her child's pain, but when she arrived at the great place of suffering, it was to hear much better news than she had dared to hope fer.It is true Molly's leg was broken, Lut the doctor said that although jt;

Her little lips began to quiver, but she resolutely turned her face from the medal-cases to the prizes; she knew she would have one of those.It seemed to her though as if everybody were looking at her, and she did wish they would not.At last the great pause was broken.\u2018Molly Clarke,\u201d said the kind-faced gentleman, holding out a beautiful plush case.He was not allowed to say any more, for now the noise made by three hundred pairs of hands being clapped energetically was as great as the silence had been one minute before Molly could not understand what it all meant, but her teacher came right across the room to where she sat and ICE DEALERS.MONTREAL ICE EXCHANGE, 2 Victoria sq.Jou PRINTING.DOUGALL, JOHN, & SON, \u2018 Witness\u2019 Office.LAUNDRIES, \\' AY, TOILET SUPPLY 0O., Ltd.,, THE MONTRE 589 Dorchester st MANTELS, GRATES AND TILES, WEBSTER BROS.& PARKES, 228 8t.James st.OFFICE DESKS AND FIXTURES, CANADIAN OFFICE & SCHOOL DE8K GENCY, 1792 Notre Dame street.TEES & CO., 20 St.James street.PAINTING AND PAPER HANGING.POTTER, W.E., & CO., 26 St.Phillips, Office 178 Bt.James.Tel.1939.PAINTFRS AND PAPER HANGERS OWENS, JOHN B.: 117 Bleury street.PHOTOGRAPHERS, BENNETT, J.C.8, 10% Phlilips square.NOTMAN, WM, & SONS, Phillips square Machinery.ELECTRICAL MACHINERY «& SUPPLIES, FORMAN, JOHN, e5)-Craig street.ENGINEERS AND FOUNDERS, LAURIE ENGINE CO., 1012 8t.Catherine street.ENGINES AND BOILERS.LEONARD, E., & SONS, Common and Nazareth sta MACHINERY AND SUPPLIES, CANADA MACHINERY AGENCY, 298 8t.James WILLIAMS, A.R., & CO, H5 Et.James street.Financial ACCOUNTANT AND COMMISSIONER.BLACK, CHARLES R., Bank of Toronto Chambers | BANKS, BANQUE VILLE MARIE.BROKERS (STOCK AND INVESTMENT).HANSON BROS., Canada Life Chambers.CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS.DUFF, J.M.M., Imperial Building DURNFORD, GEORGE, 196 St.James street.HYDE, JOHN, Guardian Assurance Chambers, MACINTOSH & HYDE, 157 St.James street.McDONALD, JOHN, Imperial Building.RADFORD, F.W., Room 37 Imperial Bldg.RIDDELL & COMMON, 23 8t John street.FINANCIAL, REAL ESTATE, INVESTMENT BROKER.MAINWARING, R.A, 147 Bt.James street.LOAN & INVESTMENT CO.'8.ST.LAWRENCE INVESTMENT SOCIETY, Ltd.Bank of Toronto Charabers.Insurance.FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES.CALEDONIAN INSURANCE CO., Head Office, Temple Building, Lansing Lewis, man ager.Montreal Agency, Canada life Building, O.R.G.Johnson, Agent.BRITISH AMERICA ASSURANCE OO.R.G.Johnson, Agent, Canada Life Building, GUARDIAN, F.& L., Assurance Co., 181 St, Jam es IMPERIAL INSURANCE CO.Ltd., Place d Armes.UNION ASSURANCE SOOIETY, LONDON, St.James aud MoGill FIRE INSURANCE BROKERS, TAYLOR, EDWARD T.& SON, 43 St.Francois Xavier street.PLUMBING, MEATING, Santiary Engineers DATE, JOHN, 654 and 656 Craig street.ROOFING MATERIAL.PATERSON MFG.CO., The, Ltd, 47 Murray st.INSURANCE AND INVESTMENTS, LEET, LYNN TT, 1724 Notre Dame street.The Montreal Loan & Investment Co.The Metropolitan Plate Glass Insurance Co.London & Lancashire Fire Insurance Co.STEREOTYPING, DOUGALL & SON, JOHN, * Witness\" Office.BABBATH-SCHOOL PAPERS.NORTHERN MESSENGER, THE, ry itaess\u2019 Bldg Cor.Craig and 8t.Peter streets STEEL PLATE COOKING RANGES.PROWSE, GEO.R., 224 St.James street.STEEL STAMPS AND DIES, DAWSON, G.W., 716 Craig street, WINDOW SHADES AND POLES, HUGMAN BROS,., 17 Bleury street, rer 2m told her that she was to go and fetch her medal; so, still wondering, but feeling very happy, she went out leaning on her crutches.The gentleman then explained to her how very sorry the kind lady who had taken her to the hospital had felt, and how she had gone to some of the members of the Boal and gained their consent for Molly to have her medal.The whole school had been told the happy secret, and every child heartily rejoiced in Molly Clarke's happiness.Mrs.Clarke was waiting in another room to take her little girl home at the end of the afternoon, and when Molly burst in upon her in all the glory and splendor of a beautiful silver medal, she was just as pleased as Molly had been a little while before when she had received it, and certainly she was quite as proud.After much kissing and fussing over by her companions, Molly and her mother went to the school door to wait there for the next tram, hoping it would be the one on which Jack was; but it was not, and Molly was so disappointed that her mother consented to wait for the next.This time Jack was leaning out of the platform, and directly Molly saw him she waved the hand that held the precious plush case.She was so excited that she could scarcely wait until she was ensconced in the velvet-cushioned corner, before she began to tell the joyous news to Jack, and she was so eager to let him know all about it that before long all the peonle in.the tram knew the story of \u2018 Molly\u2019s Medal\u2019\u2014\u2018 S.S.Times,\u2019 (English.) \u2018To many,\u2019 said the late General Gordon, \u201cit would be an ineffable blessing 10 know that the only way-to be holy, or like Christ, is by seeking and nourishing the Holy Ghost\u2019s presence in us.As for sequences, to deny that they will fol- lew, is to deny the Godhead of the Holy Ghost.When I think of what a long wilderness journey I have had, how I have tried, in vain, to patch up matters, I cannot say too much on this subject.Speaking as a man, what a great blessing it would have been for some one to have said to me (though it is clear in the Scriptures) \u2018seek the realization of the Holy Ghost\u2019s presence in you, and leave the rest.\u201d No argument is wanted, just these words only.Believers in Christ have God the Holy Ghost living in them.The nourishing of this truth in daily life is all that is needad.and he feeds us by LIFE INSURANCE COCON FEDERATION LIFE ASSN.OF CANADA, 207 St.James street.MARINE INSURANCE CO.\u20198, BOND, E.L., 30 St.Francois Xavier street Police and Fire FIRE ALARM DEPARTMENT, City ail 1 el, 14L CENTRAL POLIOE STATION, City Hal', Beil Tel, 310.ERE his Scriptures.All the rest follows.\u2019 An old Scotch baron was attacked by his enemy, who encamped before his gales, and would allow no provisions to enter them.He continued the siege long enough to have exhausted the supplies within, but there were no signs of cepitulation.Weeks and months passed away, and yet no surrender.After a long time the besieger was surprised, one morning, to see a long line of fish, fresh from the sea, hung over the wall, as much as to say, \u2018 We can feed you; and surely you cannot starve us out so long as there are fish in the sea, for we have an underground connection with it, and the supply is exhaustless ! So Satan may besiege our gates, but he can never compel us to surrender, for our food comes, not through the gates, but from above, and through channels invisible to his eye, the supply of which is enex- haustible.It was not an original remark on the part of Dr.John Hall, but one which ministers and all other Christian workers would do well to keep in mind.\u2018You must press men into the kingdom of heaven by the weight of your personal character.Any one can talk, but character alone impresses.\u2019 It is indeed the solemn fact that every worker gives himself in his work, whatever that self may be, which ought to lead him always to be able to say with Paul, \u2018As of sincerity, as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.\u201d Perhaps, after all, there is no greater hindrance to the study of the bible than sheer laziness.\u2014\u2018Christian Guardian.\u2019 HALLS | Vegetable Sicilian HAIR RENEWER Beautifies and restores Gray Hair to its original color and | vitality;

The two drains are more effective in securing perfect drainage than one could be ; the aftermath of settlements in the centre of the road is avoided ; the drains on an old road can usually be placed at a greater depth if at the side ; the expense of placing one drain in the centre of an old road is often greg, er than that created by placing two are several.| drains at the sides ; when at the sides thev may be more easily used when needed as outlets for surface drains.superior to clover.While rye is excel lent and produces more material to the acre, yet 1t is doubtful whether it is equal to clover.Clover contains twenty percent more nitrogen, which is one of .the necessary elements of plant food, it ' is also one of the most expensive.Clover | is also beneficial by its peculiar mechanical action on the soil, loosening it and | making it more friable as well as bring- | ing up fertility from the subsoil.It ' bas proven itself the farmer\u2019s best friend \u2018and most willing servant.By growing .clover extensively and ploughing down i when in full bloom, the farmer is en- | abled to enrich his land easily, quickly and cheaply.| At present, gravel roads are the best rond for flat lands.To make these | | | Of the green manures perhaps none is ! I roads properly they must slope enough to shed water and must be well drained.' Use sewer tile for culverts and make the bridges strong.The roads should be constructed of the best material at hand and as much money should be expended upon them as the community can afford.After properly grading and rolling, the French system of using wide tires should be adopted, and with these, good roads could be had eleven months in the year, cs 30 = $ RETIRE WRT EDT EPA ENST TS wt a mem es eat ue, LOC ES LE Là LES > THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.at all times except when frost is coming out of the ground.\u2014H.Manecke.Flour instead of land plaster is recommended for mixing with Paris green by Alva Algee, in the \u2018Rural New Yorker,\u2019 for the reason that the flour is more palatable to the bug, and it also makes a paste which sticks to the vine, so that it i8 not easily washed off by rains.We lcng ago gave up the notion of mixing Paris green with plaster, as it was far too much work to get the two thoroughly incorporated.But putting the Paris green in water is better than either.1f applied as it should be, in sunny weather, it will stay on the leaves long enough to destroy all the bugs that are hatched.There is no advantage in keeping the vines covered with the poison any longer.Besides, we always found the danger of mixing Paris green with any dry substance, like plaster or flour, consisted mostly in its tendency to blow in face and eyes and get on the clothing.Flour will be worse in this respect than plaster, as it is much finer.One of the greatest obstacles to better roads in their present construction is peor drainage.Stone road builders never neglect the drainage, even though they lay stone twelve to fifteen inches deep.Many pieces of spongy road-bed may be made solid by proper drainage.After drainage is attended to by good side ditches, and under-drains where needed, the road-bed should be rounded.so that water will not stand in puddles.My experience in mending roads is that on a dirt road there should be no mixture of stones with the dirt, as such roads are always rough and holes will be g :uged out and there is danger of breaking waggons, besides the discomfort of bouncing as one passes along.\u2018American Highways\u2019 is the title of a rew book about ready for market.It is written by Prof.Nathaniel S.Shaler, head of the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard University.This is a thoroughly practical work, and will prove valuable in directing into effective channels the rising tide of interest in American roads.The Lawrence Scientific School was the first institution in this country to include road-making in ils curriculum ; and as a member of the Massachusetts highway commission, and as the author of various articles on the subjects of roads and road-making, Prof.Shaler is well equipped to write such a book as this.It will contain a number of illustrations and diagrams, and four appendixes showing Massachuzetts state laws on road building, relative values of stones, contract prices paid for different state roads, and a list of important books on highway construction.\u2014 LIVE STOCK NOTES.Nothing better for the growing swine than the waste products of the dairy, and in no way can these waste products be so advantageously utilized as in feeding growing swine; therefore swine raising should always accompany dairy farming.No matter how large and well formed, or how intelligent and how kind a horse may be, if his digestion is poor he will be an expensive animal to keep and he cannot be nearly as serviceable as he otherwise would bg.Health, strength and efficiency are each and all very largely dependent upon digestion.The separator milk, not having the fats, is, if fed alone, hard to digest and produces bad results, and is therefore condemned.Add a little oil meal and some corn meal to supply starch, and our separator milk becomes one of the finest of foods, and the secured extra half pound of butter buys the grain twice over, and even better feeding results are secured.: Prominent among the qualities which a really good and serviceable horse must possess, is intelligence.If he possesaes this in a high degree he can be readily tiained to do anything and everything that can reasonably be required of him.He will not only be a great deal more eff.cient than a less intelligent animal, but he will also be much safer to handle.We may feed in dry lots: or pens as complete rations as science may devise, and even cut clover or rye and carry to them, yet no man has yet been able to do this so as to secure as good results as when the stock can do its own grazing at pleasure betwéen feeds.As a protection against disedse, as well as economy in feeding, we must give more attention to providing grazing ground as well as corn ground on the hog farm.Dran is relished by lambs ard they eat large quantities without danger.Oats arc also well liked by them, but.are not eaten as readily as bran.The best results are usually obtained by feeding a mixture of equal parts, oats, bran and linseed meal.At first but little grain will be eaten but gradually larger amounts will be taken.When about eight weeks old one-fifth of a pound will be eaten ;

that is to say, the twenty- seventh or twenty-eighth day after foaling.This latter time would always apply if it were not for the fact that some mares, if ready for the horse on the ninth day, and not covered by him, may remain cold during the whole time of suckling the foal.Mares should also If on ordinary} or tenth day for five times; if she continues to refuse, it is pretty sure she is all right.A mare should always be in thriving condition when bred ; nor after breeding should she do hard work for two or three days succeeding; nor should she be bred after exhaustion from overwork.A mare having a foal by her side should not be allowed to be unduly excited by the horse.Young, timid mares should be carefully handled, and coaxed without undue excitement.Older mares that are fractious should be firmly hand- Jed, but never beaten.In fact the peculiarities of the animal must be carefully studied.If she must be confined, let it be in a proper frame.I never allow the use of hopples.If a mare suckling a foal is unduly excited it will tell on the foal, oftea producing serious bowel complaints and colic, pee GARDEN GATHERINGS.The unsatisfactory declining condition of many orchards is often the result of starvation, pure and simple.We persist in making the orchard produce two crops at the same time and forget or ignore the fact that the fruit crop is very like other crops in that it must be fed to produce paying returns.The cultivation of the different kinds of fruit creates pleasant work for the mind, while it adds pleasing variety to the occupation of the hands.It is a rule that the general culture of fruit soon begets an interest in the thing itself, aside from the mere money in it.When this interest begins, the first step toward a better condition of life has been taken.I have known a farmer leave his work and tramp all day over the fields, and return at night with a quart or two of wild strawberries that a fruit dealer would have rejected with scorn.He exhibits them triumphantly, and it is scarcely worth while to tell him that one-half his labor would have set out a strawberry bed that would have furnished him with fine berries every day for weeks.Now and then a farmer is induced to give them a trial, but the chances are that his interest will not go beyond the setting, and that the vines will become choked with grass and weeds and be ploughed up at the end of a year or two, with the remark that they turned out just as he expected.It is a well-known fact that the varieties of strawberries in use to-day are in no respects better, if indeed as good, as many varieties that were popular over a quarter of a century ago, and yet it is recognized by all hands that new varieties are essential.This chiefly comes from a disease caused by the operation of the strawberry fungus, which takes .the form of small brown spots on the leaves.Wherever it occurs, the strawberry plants decline In health and general quality.As long as a variety can.be kept free from this trouble, new kihds are not essential; but it seems, according to the experience of \u2018most strawberry growers, that sooner or later these little parasites will discover the most isolated plantations.\u2019 The very name garden has been handed down from two Greek words, one meaning to enclose, the other a pleasure or delight\u2014a paradise ! What associations does it not recall?Lamartine was not ashamed to acknowledge that the most pleasurable delights of his memory was an old garden.There has been more real pleasure obtained from the humble growth of a few pet plants by the lowly, than was ever obtained by the very wealthy who keep up a great garden by hired experts as they do in other departments of their home.It may be but a simple lawn with a few trees and shrubs, a few flower beds or specialty of the growth of cannas, geraniums, gladiolus, carnation, roses or the like, or \u2018may even be confined to the simple window garden for want of more room.In whatever line it may take, the idea should be encouraged.Whether for profit or pleasure, cultivate and grow plants and flowers.\u2014Edgar Sanders.PROGRESS IN CHINA.Notes of cheer come from almost every mission field within this great empire.At 4 meeting held in Hangkow early in the year, at which representatives of many denominations working in China were present, Dr.Griffiths John of the London Society made an address a summary of which is given in-the * Independent and Nonconformist,\u201d of London.The following extract is from the report of Dr.John\u2019s address: \u2019 \u2018There was much at the present time to be thankful for.During the past year there had been no riots, no massa- cree.The increase to the church had been phenomenal.In Fuhkien, in the neighborhood of the Kucheng murders, some twenty thousand had applied for baptism, of whom five thousand had been accepted.In Manchuria and the Shantung province there had also been large ingatherings.In the Hopeh province some hundreds had been added to the church.He had never been more sat- ipfied with any candidates than with those recently received.The work was extending into the province of Hunan; at Heng Chow, in that province, from twelity to thirty men, all candidates for baptism, had been formed into a Christian spciety.This was entirely the result of native effort.We have been praying for Huaan and for the conversion ©f Chow Han, but God\u2019s ways are not our ways.Chow Han has been silenced, but at heart is perhaps still an enemy.God is, however, opening Hunan in his own way, and by such agencies as this.I have received an invitation from one of the leading inhabitants of Heng Chow to visit him.Pray for me and any one who goes with me.be submitted to the horse every, ninth J My desire is to open up that province, - for Christ\u201d must be our motto.ree \u201cHunan Having referred to the vast circulation of Christian literature by this and other societies during the year, Dr.John continued: \u2018Very remarkable advance has been made all along the line.We were never so strong as we are now.Our prospects were never so bright as now.I sincerely believe that we are on the eve of gret developments in connection with miss.on work in this land.China is not in love with the changes that are coming, but come these changes must.There are mighty forces at work which are carrying China along.The world is moving, and China must move too.\u2019 not for one society but for all.PROHIBITION IN ATLANTA.Prohibition in this city does prohibit.The law is observed against carrying concealed weapons, gambling, and other offences of like character.If there had been ag many people in favor of carrying concealed weapons, theit, gambling, etc., as there were in favor of the retail of ardent spirits twelve months ago, the,law against these would not have been carried out as well as it was against the liquor trade.In consideration of the small Majority with which Prohibition was carried, and the large number of people who were opposed to seeing the liquor traffic prohibited, the law has been marvellously well observed.Prohibition has not injured the city financially.According to the assessor's books, property in the city has increased over $2,000,000.Taxes have not been increased.Two streets in the city, Decatur and Peters, were known as liquor streets.It was hardly considered proper for a lady to walk these streets without an escort.Now they are just as orderly as any in the city.Property on them has advanced ten to twenty- five percent.The loss of $40,000 revenue consequent on closing the saloons has tended in no degree to impede the city\u2019s progress in any direction.Large appropriations have been made to the waterworks, the public schools, the Piedmont Fair and other improvements.The business men have raised $400,000 to build the Atlanta & Hawkinsville Railroad.The number of city banks is to be increased to five.The coming of four new railways has been settled during the year.Fifteen new stores, containing housefurnishing goods, have been started since Prohibition went into effect.These are doing well.More funiture has been sold to mechanics and laboring men in the last twelve months than in any twelve months during the history of the city.The manufacturing establishments of the city have received new life.A glass factory has been built.A cotton-seed oil mill has been built worth $125,000.All improvement companies with a basis in real estate have seen their stock double in value since the election on Prohibition.Two weeks were necessary formerly to get through with the criminal docket.During the present year it was closed out in two days.The chain gang is left with almost nothing but the chains and balls.The gang part would not be large enough to work the public roads of the country were it not augmented by fresh supplies from other counties.The city government is in the hands of our best citizens.\u2014\u2018 Atlanta Wesleyan Advocate.\u2019 RELIGIOUS NEWS.Mr.W.R.Moody, son of tne great evangelist, is now the editor of the

Bath and Wells to visit Glastonbury on Aug.3, when a service will be held in the Abbey ruins, and an address given by the Bishop of Step- ney.Miss Slack writes to the \u201cAlliance News\u2019 that it is most important that the B.W.T.A.should send at least fifty delegates to the World's W.C.T.U.convention in Toronto, Canada, which is to be held in October.Associations are urged to appoint their representatives as soon as possible.From \u2018The Christian Nation\u2019 we learn that for every dollar the State of New York expends for education it spends three for rum, as the amount expended for alcohol alone during the year was more than $70,000,000, or ten dollars for every man, woman and child in that commonwealth.With the exception of the states of Maine and Iowa, the above ratio will doubtless apply to every state im the union.After doing the work of a hundred men, and after being warned again and again that he had but the physical | strength of one, Dr.Parkhurst has been

General Neal Dow, in his ninety-fourth year, writes as follows from Portland, Maine, U.S., to Councillor Malins, the head of the Independent Order ot Good Templars in England :\u2014\u2018 Everybody can seo at a mere glance that if prohilition did lead to an increased sale of liquors the liquor men would be all friends of that policy, but, in fact, they strive with all their might to oppose it.In this country the liquor leagues spend much money in employing men\u2014minis- ters if they can\u2014to persuade the people that the Maine law is ruining the State of Maine by excessive drunkenness.When prohibition was adopted in Maine that State was by far the poorest in the Union, but now it is one of the moat prosperous\u2014no other more so.Three years ago the Democratic party in Maine put \u201clicense\u201d into its platform, and made an earnest canvass.Our Senate has thirty-one members and our House of Representatives has one hundred and fifty-one.When the election was over, 1t was found that the Democrats did not have one member in the Senate, and only five in the Lower House.There could not be a more emphatic expression of the people against \u201clicense\u201d and in favor of prohibition.\u201d And yet there are people in England also very constantly saying that the Maine law is a failure, though it must be said that they are, for the most part, people interested in the sale of liquor\u2014\u2018 Alliance News.A Wesleyan hymn-book in the vernaeu- lar of Dahomey has recently passed through the press.The very interesting circumstance connected with this publication is the fact that a native convert is the editor of the volume.He is a man of considerable literary attainment, having reduced the Popo language to writing.The Rev.Joseph Rhodes, in \u2018Work and Wo:kers,\u201d gives the f:llowing epitome\u2019 of the career of this rcinarkably able and devoted missionary of the cross: \u2018In its early days the Wesleyan Mission gathered into its school at Badagry some of the heathen lads of the town.One of these, called Mani, took for his Christian name Thomas James Marshall This lad early gave promise of a successful career ; he was the first native called to the office of the ministry in the Wes- levan missions of Yoruba and Dahomey, and when a mission was started in Porto Novo itself, about the year 1860, he was entrusted with the charge of it and so became a missionary to his fellow-coun- trymen.Dahomeyan was the language of his childhood, Yoruba and English he had acquired ; so that he was a God- sent man for mission work in Porto Novo.This is the man who has had the zeal and courage, in the absence of any one better qualified, to reduce the Popo language to writing, and with the aid of his colleagues and sub-agents to form a translation committee and turn first the Scriptures and now a selection of Wesley's hymns into the vernacular of Dahomey.A higher honor has rarely fallen to the lot of a native missionary.Not so very far behind the colored bishop, Dr.Crowther, so lately called from us, product of the Yoruba nation, must be placed the Rev.Thomas .James Marshall, one of the first-fruits of Chris tian missions amongst the Popo tribes.\u2019 Orphans in Marsovan.\u2014We received the helpless little boys and girls till there were forty-six of the former and forty- eight of the latter\u2014ninety-four in all.We are expecting others still to swell the number to about a hundred and thirty.The support of each costs twentv-two dollars a year.They are de- cen*!y and comfortahly fed, clothed and housed, one of the missionary dwellings being given up to the girls, while the bovs are accommodated in rented premises adjoining the mission grounds, There are many more than a bundred and thirty needy orphans, but we can go no further without addition to our funds.One of the mirsionary wW>men acts as superintendent of tnis hraackh of the work, with half-a-dozen assistants.There are two well-ordered schools for the orphans; one for the \u201cnye ta ht by a college graduate of last year; one for the girls, taught by a 7raduete of the Girls\u2019 Boarding School.These teachers are with the children day and night.We now find ourselves with about four hundred pupils on these premises, inctud- ing the students of Anatolia College, the Girls\u2019 Boarding School and the orphane.These orphan children are happy in their new home and the woes of the past are fading out of their minds.As I write, a clatter of feet under my window announces the return of the orphan bovs from the fields, where, with their teacher and our cavass as guard, they have been recreating and gathering flowers.At least once a week all the boys and girls who have been orderly and obedient are permitted to go to the fields and vineyards for an outing, and very few are those who have to stay at home.The children all attend church and Sun- day-school.Each orphanage has a little stock of books and pictorial papers In the native languages.On Sunday after noons they may be seen in groups In the orphanage gardens, listening to the read ing of this evangelical literature or por ing over the

THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.WRECK OF THE \u2018SENTA\u2019 BY AN AMERICAN VISITOR.(\u2018Pall Mall Gazette.\") Were I a newspaper correspondent TI hink I could write a very interesting account of this my first vist to England.But, even at the risk of failure, I will attempt a brief sketch of one of the difficult to get necessary food, and sleep wag not to be thought of.All with one accord were silently praying for relief.\u2018The very creaking and straining of the ship\u2019s timbers could be interpreted as saying \u2018Enough, enough.\u201d A change came, but not for the better.The wind, which had already lifted the sea into mountains of water and was playing with it as a child plays with a toy, now redoubled its force and blew a hurricane well.and was kept before the gale, bowling along at a terrific pace ; the green many untold tales of the sea.A Hugo, and white water was rolling from either a Marrvat, or a Russell would find inspi- | bow as high as the catheads.What a raion

From the day of sailing the \u201cSenta,\u2019 which usually carried an overtowering mass of Canvas, was now cinpelled to stagger, pitch and roll un- | der very short sail.Royals and top- & ant saila, upper topsails, and all light ha] sails had to come in, and finally, &' tliat could be carried in safety were \u201cver topsails.On April 1 the wind li anevrazsed to a terrible gale.The =a had rseen to fearful heights and was I-==kire over the deck of the staggering «nf aimost constantly.The captain vas neariv unmanned under the terrible s'ran, and the crew were weary with! watch and toil.For days it had been | te qe \u2018 y 9 had | the ship was a helpless wreck, absolutely ; What | ; against the black clcuds gave a wonder- THE DERELICT SHIP.> from the man on the \u2018lookout.\u2019 Sure enough the fore topsail had been blown to atoms.\u2018Never mind, men,\u2019 the captain, \u2018if nothing worse than that \u2018 happens we are all right\u2019 They had: not long to wait for something worse.| At about two o'clock a huge green sea | broke over the vessel with tremendous! force, carrying away the bridge and the | two lifeboats, going through the skylights.breaking the decklcad adrift, and carrying much of it overboard.Then, to the great danger of all hands, an attempt was made to secure the shifting timber, but without success.With every roll and pitch of the vessel the loose timber would shift from side to side, and from end to end.How the crew ever escaped with their lives is as much of a mystery to themselves as it is to those to whom they tell the story.\u2018Captain,\u2019 shouted the mate from near the mainmast, where he was clinging fast to save himself from being washed overboard with every succeeding sea, \u201cwe cannot secure this deck-load ; we must lash curselves to the rigging and wait for the worst.\u201d No answer came from the captain.\u2018Captain Haavig !\u201d again cried the mate.\u2018Don\u2019t see the caplain, sir,\u201d came from one of the men at the wheel.\u2018My God !\u201d shouted the mate, \u201cthe captain gone, and this ship in my charge now! Well, I will do my best.Come aft, men.The captain has been washed overboard.Every man must look out for himself now.We can do no more.We will keep her before it as long as she will steer, and we may run the gale down vet.\u201d Hardly had he finished speaking, when a voice was heard from the direction of the cabin.\u2018Who's in the cabin?cried the officer, as he hurried towards the companion-way.Sure enough the voice did come from the cabin, and it \"was Captain Haavig who called.He | had gone below to take a look at the glass, and while there the shifting tim- ; ber\u2018on deck had rompletely hlocked the entrance.AH hands were rejoiced to learn that the captain was safe, and turned to with a will to release him from | Lis prison.THE TERROR OF THE ELEMENTS, While the crew was thus engaged .there was one of those indescribable oc- ! currences which are never seen except at sea, and seldom there.Black, angry clouds shut out even the faintest ray of light froin the sky, the wind howled and shrieked as if in an attempt to make the sea give up its dead ; as flashes of lightning would break through the darkness the ocean presented a sight never to be forgotten by those who saw it.It was one coiling, boiling, heaving, seething mass of livid water, apparently in a ter- nfic struggle with itself.The lifting and falling of huge, combing surges fully weird appearance to the horizon.Suddenly the ship and all about it seemel ablaze with fire.The lightning was almost continuous and the thunder deafening.Great balls of bluish fire were dancing ahout the yard-arms and rigging, exploding and sending showers of elec- trie fire about the ship.While all were dazed at the awfulness of the scene, the pert main rigging gave way, and crash went the mainmast with all its top ham- shouted \u2018 per, falling to the starboard side of the foremast.The captain having reached = TEE ing hauled on hoard the lifeboat.The boat had to make two trips, as she could only carry twelve men beside her own crew.At six o'clock they were all on board the steamer, which proved to be the \u2018Snowflake,\u2019 of Liverpool, bound for Philadelphia.Captain Haavig and |, his men gave a last long look at the v's.with the elements and in which they came so near giving up their lives.They were landed in Philadelphia, and sent home to Norway.A WHALEBACK.IT WILL CARRY GRAIN TO INDIA'S POOR.\u2018Wave.\u2019) It is a far cry from San Francisco to Calcutta, but not so far apparently as to be beyond the sound of an appeal for help.Somewhere away in the heart of India there is a starving coolie, famine stricken and shrivelled, the ribs of him showing through his skin like the bars of a bird cage through a wet cloth, who within forty days from the time of this writing will be feeding upon corn that has been brought to him from Western Kansas.And his neighbors will feed, and his neighbors\u2019 neighbor, thousands of them, wretched wisps of humanity, thin beyond all belief, will be gorged and glutted with a whole harvest of corn and rye and beans.Twenty-six hundred tons of grain will be flooded into the famine districts.The ship that will carry this harvest is now on\u2019 the dry dock, and surely no nore oddly appearing relief craft was ever looked for.A huge hollow steel cigar, propelled by steam, with neither keel nor bow, nor deck nor stern\u2014a mere shell furnished with propelling gear.She is not a ship, this \u2018 whaleback,\u2019 this \u2018City où Everett,\u2019 and there is little of the picturesque about her, no suggestiveness, no romance\u2014simply a freight-carrying contrivance.The \u2018Everett's\u2019 destined voyage is the result of the efforts of the Committee of the Indian Famine Relief Fund of San Francisco, who have been unwearied in their labors to feed the starving natives.For the matter of that, everybody has helped.The [ar- mers of Kansas, Jowa and Nebraska have given the grain, the railways have transported a thousand tons of it free, the United States government has chartered craft, and, more important than all, the Postal Telegraph and the Western Un- ton Company have sent the countless but necessary despatches of the committee frec of charge.The \u2018City of Everett\u2019 was built by (San Francisco | McDougal & Co., at Port Townsend, and is the only sea-going whaleback in the werld, though other craft of the same type plv upon the great lakes as grain ships.The value of the peculiar construction lies in the fact that when fully loaded almost the entire hull of the vessel sinks below the surface of.the waves, and can make very good speed in rough weather.Surprising as it may seem, there is very little lateral roll in the whaleback type.The waves get very little

V.BEAR.BRUIN BEATEN IN A FAIR STAND UP FIGHT.Frank Lane, who lives over on the Mountain, \u2018in the Southern Catskills, New York, witnessed an interesting tussle between a big buck deer and an old bear one day last week.Lane was eating his morning meal when he heard a tremendous rumpus outside the cabin.He grabbed his gun, whistled to his dogs and ran out.The battle was a royal one, but the advantage was with the buck, which was more agile than bruin, and as the bear rose time and again to seize the buck in his claws, the deer gored him with his terrible forked antlers.Lane held his dogs, as he was afraid they would attack the deer, which would have brought him in conflict with the law.He watched the battle until the buck, with a bound, jumped clean over the bear, and before his antagonist could meet his new move impaled him upon his antlers and tossed him into the air a dozen feet.The bear fell to the ground, and as he struck the buck wus upon, him with his sharp hoofs, stamping like a battering ram.This, it appears, was too much for the bear, and, picking himself up, he beat a hasty retreat.The deer gave a snort of triumph, and, seeing the dogs, which were tugging at their leash, bounded away and was soon lost in the forest.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CHESS COLUMN.Saturday, June 36, 1897.PROBLEM No.85, (By the Rev.J.Jespersen, second prize in

rope.He made arrangements for the use of a blacksmith\u2019s forge, and made there a pair of iron ladders, welding the rungs into the side pieces.These he carried to the tower and hauled them up to the top, using a stick of timber firmly secured above the platform and projecting beyond it, for the attachment of his upper tackle block.It was eerie work to fix the ropes for the tackle up there so far in the air.Once, many years before, he had heard the people talk about the tinsmith who finished the church steeple at home, a hundred feet high, and the fame this man had among the farmer folks was as great as that of heroes he had read about in books; and here he was at the height of three church steeples set on end, doing something harder to do and having greater risks.The glamor of the thing grew upon him, preventing his becoming either lonely or afraid.He secured the ladders to the metal pole by lashing them firmly, and by this means reached the ball at the very top, although his second ladder reached six feet above it.Next he hauled two heavy sticks of timber up alongside, and secured them also with lashings firmly to the fleg- staff.To the top of these timbers he fixed the upper tackle block of the fall, the lower block being made fast to the iron in /the pulley mortise, from which he had\u2019 removed both the pulley and the flag repe.Then he made the free end of the tackle rope fast below, so that the tackle would be always pulling the top part upwards, and began to cut off the flag-staff.At the end of each day's work he felt his fame increasing.He was talked about in the boarding-house and in the shop.Many strangers went out of their way to stare at him, and the newspapers had something kind to may ahout the young C\u2018anadian who had undertaken and was accomplishing so great a task.He was, among his fellows, the man who was to get a thousand dollars for a few days\u2019 work, and the boarding-house keeper's daughter made eyes at him.Just before he had completely cut through the flag-staff, he took the precaution to wet the ropes of the tackle which he had attached, as we have seen, to hold the severed fifteen feet when the time came.He twanged the long rope of the fall and heard it hum like the bass string of some giant instrument, and knew what would happen when the cutting should be finished.Then the ever recurring, \u2018what if?\u2019came to his thoughts.He felt that he was standing on the brink of eternity as he carefully drove the saw through the iron.If his calculations had been correct, the result he wished for must follow.But if not\u2014 if something should give way !\u2014he would not let the thought master him.He felt that he was hanging from nothingness over nothingness, and yet with a firm, true hand he sawed through to the last shred of the boiler iron, standing at the point of the very greatest danger \u2014and that danger increasing with every stroke of the blade.There was a snap iike a pistol shot.He felt his cobweb structure tremble and closed his eyes, believing the end had come.Again there was silence.He opened his eves.The thing had happened.There was a gap of three inches between the parts of the flag-staff.The straining ropes had done their work.Their tension had broken the last shred of the iron and lifted the: cut-off part clear.Slowly and quietly he descended to the platform, and payed out the rope to lower the mass of iron.Then he came to the ball and removed it.His nerves had had strain enough for that day.When he walked away from the main entrance of the buildings with the ball to carry it to the shop to enlarge its opening, quite a crowd of people set up a cheer as he bore the trophy along.The rest of the work was easy by comparison.The new mortise was cut and the sheave placed.The flag halliards reeved.Then the piece cut from the flag-staff was lowered, the rope paid out carefully from its winding about the base of the column, so that no jerk could hagpen to throw the young man over the parapet.As the mass of iron slowly glided down PS ADVERTISEMENTS.ONLY IN l'bard 2 TIN CANS _ FOLLOW DIRECTIONS.Montreal Foundling and Sick Baby Hospital, 43 ARGYLE AVE.The

English swimmer, who covered two hundred and fifty vards in 2.57 3-5 in England some years ago.Jew swimmers can do as well, Having a three-minute course for the swimmer, all the other tracks should be

smooth ice and using skates, could.if he were an expert, cover about 1,926 vavds in three minutes.This record has been beaten, but it was by a skater who had the advantage of going with a strong wind.Skates enable a man to go much faster than he can run, but they seem insignificant when compared with the bicycle records of the past year.Could there be a great handicap race in which contestants along various lines were engaged the importance of the bicycle would be apparent.By its use man becomes speedier than the horse for short distances, while for long distances over fair roads the horse would not even be mentioned as having \u2018also ran\u201d Sup- vosing such a race were arranged and ét IA a) is Ze ha Le < 5.x) ay i [A TRICYCLE, few leaders whose time is close to two minutes for a mile could perhaps go two thousand five hundred and twenty yards in three minutes, but this distance would be too great for any hich steppers except those with a record of 2.08 or better.A man on a bicycle can travel faster than ary horse can trot.James Michael has done about two thousand eight hnndred and forty yards in three minutes, and Bald, the Butlers, Johnson, Sanger and a dozen others could do about as well.While the bicyclist could easily defeat a trotting horse the rupnuing horse would have to be handicapped as turf records show that a running horse has covered a mile and three-quarters in a fraction of a second more than three minutes.Therefore the running horse should be FAP THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.given a distance of three thousand and The express train

the distance between three minutes.straight track.On a circular track sueh the locomotive would not be a favorite.So it will be observed that in the matter of getting over the ground the bicycle has done much for man.It has enabled him to travel faster than he ever travelled before through his own efforts.By its use a man can go faster than the fleetest trotter, and when three men are mounted on a triplet or four sturdy racers on a quadruplet, they can set a pace that would be too fast for all but a very few members of the equine aristocracy.A GIANT TRICYCLE.In this age of \u2018big\u2019 things one is always - prepared for the constructien of mammoth engines, ships, buildings and public works, and the rage for the superlative seems to be universal.- It has even invaded the bicycle world, where at least one would think size and weight were at a discount, and, moved by its inspiration, a New England firm has produced the colossal\u2014no other sword justly describes it\u2014tricycle shown in the aécom- panying engraving.It is driven by eight men, which is, it is true, only two more than are mounted weighs approximately as much per man as an ordinary single machine, the tricycle weighs about three hundred pounds to the rider, the total weight, with the men mounted, being about a ton and a half.The front wheel is six feet, and the rear wheels are eleven feet in diameter.The frame consists of two parallel trusses which are arranged side by side and finish at the front in a cross truss, to which the steering head is attached.The steering is done by one man.Each side wheel is driven by the four riders which are mearest to it, and a curious feature in the machine is that it is geared down instead of up.This was rendered necessary by the great dead weight which had to be moved.Even if the crank sprockets and the wheel sprockets had been of the same size, the gear would have been 132, whereas it has been geared down to 54.The left hand chain and sprockets can be clearly seen in the engraving.The total length of the machine is seventeen feet.; The tires are pneumatic tires, made exactly in the same way as the ordinary\u2019 Vim roadster tire, and they are, there: fore, single tubes.This \u2018Jumko\u2019 \u2018among\u2019 evcles has been put to practical test on\u2019 the roads, having been ridden from Bou, | ton to Brockton, Mass., a

strongly as does their size, in this re- spect\u2014the little one is the giant and the big fellow the midget.Michael, the tiny Welshman, is probably the fastest long-distance rider in the world.Efforts have long been made to secure a multi-cycle, manned by fast track or straight away that the little fellow could not follow.But they were! futile.For years Michael has been tacking on to the rear wheels of tandems, triplets, quads, quints and even sextuplets, breaking world's records, amd all the while calling for a faster pace.He is a diminutive phenomenon.Peter, who is a resident of Burlington, N.J., and who learned to ride but re- way.The greatér part of Peter\u2019s seven feet is in his legs, and the average bicycle can be trundled between them as easily as under the Washington Arch.Peter made up his mind that he would learn to ride, and he did by borrowing the biggest cycle in town and tieing knots in his long legs, but not until enough cuticle out of which to make avalise.: for him.Jt is the biggest safety cycle that has yet been turned out from a factory.The frame is thirty inches high from crank-axle to saddle-post head and the other dimensions are in
