AFTERNOON, MAY 25 OF INTEREST TO WOMEN WOMAN'S ART ASSOCIATION.A large exhibit has been sent irom Our Handicraft Shop, 2456 St.Catherine street, to Halifax, where it will be placed on view this week.This is the first handicraft exhibition that has taken place in Nova Scotia, although the We- men\u2019s Art Association has been in touch with workers in that section of the Dominion for almost three years.Two more exhibits are to be sent out this month, besides the one now in prepaia- tion for the St.Louis Fair.New work in homespuns, ete, has been received from Murray Bay, showing a decided improvement on the former work sent from there.From the Doukhobors in the North-West has come a fresh consignment of their characteristic work on hnen, etc.This is the best they have yet sent.Their national craft, instead of dying out, is being brought to a higher standard under the encouragement they have received.The work is on view at \u2018Our Handicraft Shop.where Miss Holmes-Orr 18 secre-

particularly as it is equally pertinent for other departures.(are was taken that the company should include only mutual friends of the hostess and guest of honor, in order that the spirit of the evening should be cordial.As each guest entered the parlors he or rhe was handed a letter, duly sealed, stamped, postmarked, and inscribed.These had been prepared by the ingenious hostess, cheap foreign stamps of any denomination representing the post- NER age, the postmark corresponding to the stamp sketched on in ink.On breaking the seal and reading the note within, it was found to be a request that the recipient should express in rhyme, a ood wish for Miss \u2014\u2014, as she would be undergoing various experiences.One was asked to give her a thought while she was seasick, another of her in her steamer chair on a fine day, or unpacking her trunk, or fighting the foreign customs, or feeing the beggars of Europe, or eating maccaroni in ltaly.In this way each guest received a different topic upon which his muse could work.Nothing less than four lines would be accepted, and as much more as one could produce would be received.When time was called the \u2018poems\u2019 were read, and prizes awarded according to their merit as judged by the com- Pe e second contest was a surprise sprung upon the assemblage.All the envelopes were collected as soon as opened, and marked with the names of those who had received them, and the next set of prizes was given out for degrees of excellence with which the envelopes had been broken.As no hint of this test was made at the outset, Lhe result was not without its chagrined fun.Telegrams to the parting guest could be written if preferred, a blank te be enclosed for the purpose in each envelope.\u2014Philadelphia

decorate the soldiers\u2019 graves in the old Papi- neay cemetery.esterday morning, at ten o'clock, the officers and many members of the society visited the cemetery.There were also present a numbers of lockers-on, among them several old soldiers.The ateway was draped with a large flag, an the graves.The Rev.Canon Renaud read a part of the burial service, and spoke briefly on the patriotic work of the society.He congratulated the Daughters of ghe Empire on the improvement they had ef.ected in the cemetery.The Rev.Mr.Almdhd also gave a short address, with some reminiscences of the first Canadian contingent in South Africa, with which he was chaplain.The national anthem was sung by those present before quitting the cemetery, small flags were placed on _ AVOIDING MANNERISMS.Some years ago I met a young woman at » watering place, and it took me three days to discover why she was not popular.Then I wondered why some kind friend did not advise her to take vocal lessons to smooth down the roughest most disagreeable voice I ever heard, That was the secret of her unpopularity.It is said that we know very little about our external self.We do not hear our voices as they really sound or gee

sized mirrors, so placed that we can see ourselves on all sides.Naturally we have to look to others for the finding of our faults, and there is no earthly reason why we should feel offended at plain apeech from those who have the right to give it to us and speak for our own good.The right kind of criticism is helpful.We send girls to finishing schools for that purpose and buy instruction of various kinds to polish off the disagreeable spots, the sharp, rough edges.We learn dancing to give us grace, and correct speech to make intelligent, pleasing conversation.There are certain customs to which we are expected to conform, certain conventionalities we should respect.; If you are content to live alone, desiring nobody and desired by nobody, you may do rude things and have disagreeable habits.But I should mot think anybody could find satisfaction in them, ever.under such circumstances.I believe that it is natural to want to be respected and admired, for that is the at- t:tude of children.A word of praise goes a long way with children or grownups.To attract respect and affection one must be lovable, and that is not possible with disagreeable mannerisms.- Betty Bradeen, in

OCCASION.Ottawa, May 25.\u2014The laying of the corner stone of the University of Ottawa, yesterday, brought together some of Canada\u2019s most eminent representatives of church and state.The occasion was honored also by the presence of \\'ar- dinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, in many respects the most distinguished prelate of the Roman Catholic Church on this continent.The address of His Eminence and also that of Sir Wilfrid Laurier pointed out that the institution should hereafter be English-speaking.It was worthy of note that althougn the University is controlled by a reli- gloys community, the first place in the cer¢mony was tendered to the state as rephesented in the person of His Excel- lenc \\ the Governor-General.__- THE JOHN MURPHY COMPANY, LIMITED, 2341-2343 St.Gatherine Street.TELEPHONE UP 2740.EEE SES Cor.Metcalfe.The new building is already under contract with Mr.Peter Lyall, of Montreal, and is upon a much more extensive plan than existed before the fire of last winter.Ottawa's University's birth goes back to the early days of this community when the Capital was known us \u2018By Town,\u201d and its destruction was a sore loss to those who depended upon its classes.Its charter is held at once from the civil authorities and from the Holy See.The first feature of the day's programme was pontifical high mass at St.Joseph\u2019s Church, celebrated by His Grace Archbishop Duhamel, of Ottawa, who at one time directed the affairs of the Un:- versity.His Eminence was present at the throne and practically all of the Canadian archbishops and bishops occupied seats in the sanctuary., Following this came the laving and blessing of the corner stone of the new arts building.A tremendous crowd witnessed this ceremony and listened to the addresses.The function awaited the arrival of His Excellency, the Goverunr- Yeneral, who was greeted by \u2018 God Save the King.\" This was at a quarter to noon.The corner stone was then laid and blessed by Monsignor Sbarrett;, papal delegate.Cardinal Gibbons was applauded on rising to speak.Although a stramger in the Canadian Capital he felt quite at home because he was bound to those around him by ties of faith, hope and charity.\u201cWe have\u201d he said, \u2018all, thanks to God, one Lord, one faith, and one baptism ; one God and Father of All, who is above all and through all and in us all.A traveller in traversing the various states of the Union and these provinces of Canada cannot far] to be struck by the splendor of the institutions of learning, of religion and of education which confront him on every side.If I were to ask myself the question to what cause are we to ascribe these manifestations of Christian taith and piety you would all agree with me that we are indebted, under the pruvi- dence of God.to those sturdy immigrants who in days past and generations past came from durope and settled upon our shores.The first nation I would mention is Englan.The diocese of Baltimore, to which | belong, was rettled by English Cathalice.The leader of the colony was Lord Baltimore, and one of the very first public acts of this distinguished man was to proclaim the sacred doctrine of civil and religious liberty.He declared that in his colony no person should be disturbed or molested on account of his or her faith, and this was the first proclamation of religious freedom: promulgated on the shores of America.(Applause.) \u2018You will all agree with me that Ireland has contributed a little toward the spiritual and temporal prosperity of the United States and of the British colo.niec.Daniel Webster said once in the United States Senate: \u201cEngland has dotted the whole surface of the earth with her forts and military possessions.whose morning drum-beat, following the sun.and keeping company with the hours, encircles the earth with one unbroken strain of the martial airs of England.\u201d And may we not say with egual assur- | words of the

action has been taken which practically insures the formation of a combination of the principal companies under the name of the National Broom Company and on a strict basis of actual valuation.At the meeting it was decided to include only about seventeen or eizhteen of the largest broom com- panes of the country and to put the capital stock at or about $4,000,000.One of the advantages of the merger is said to be uniformity in the manufacture of brooms, for, instead of there being ten varieties to each individual factory there would be standard kinds for the entire country.Brooms will also be shipped from the nearest factory and all settlements will be made through a central office.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CITY ITEMS.Residents of Chesterfield avenue.West- mount, say that much

they have paid tonnage, but I do not remember the details.\u2018Our business on the Pacific 18 very hmard; we have to compete with all nations, and they are fighting very hard for th: Oriental trade.\u2019 \"And 1 think that we have placed obstructions in the way of this trade.We cannot comply with regulations placed on us, and compete with ships of other nations.We have been forced out.\u2018I don\u2019t think you'll make much of à success of buying a merechant marine; it won't stay with you.You must get people interested, but there does not seem to be much disposition on the part of the people to go into shipping.\u2018I hope our ships will get along; but they are really an incident to our railway interestas, so as to dispose of the surplus product raised along our lines.\u2018If any one would take the ships off our hands and operate them, we should be glad.\u2019 In answer to a question of Mr.Me- Dermott (Representative) Mr.Hill eaild that hia two big ships cost from twenty- eight to thirty percent more to build here than abroad, adding: \u2018Behides, we have very few sailors even on pleasure ships.\u2019 \u2018Take out of our own experience, snd.I know whereof I speak.Go to Puget Sound\u2014the heads of the unions are thé\u201d boarding-house keepers.A man whey 1s dead broke, and broken down by ex- ' cesses 18 the man sent to us Same way along shore;

eczema or salt rheum, pimples and other cutaneous eruptions proceed from humors, either inherited, or acquired through defective digestion and assimilation, To treat these eruptions with drying medicines is dangerous.The thing to do is to take Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla and Pills Which thoroughly cleanse the blood, expelling all humors and bullding up the whole system.They cure.\u2018I was greatly troubled with small boils, caused by working among the oil at the refinery.Hood's Sarsaparilla was recommended to me as the best blood medicine obtainable.I began taking it, and though any other remedies had falled to benefit me, three bottles of Hood's fully and per- manentiy cured me '\u2014ANGUS FISHER, Emeric street, Sarnia, Ont.Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to cure and keeps the promise FUTURE OF THE PORT.@IR.DORAN, HARBOR COMMISSIONER, EXPRESSES HIS VIEWS.A greater harbor for Montreal is the roject Mr.W.E.Doran, one of the arbor Commissioners, desires to see carried out.Mr.Doran is of the opinion that if steps are not soon taken to facilitate matters in the way of making one great port from east to west, that complications are certain to arise, and as he asserts, the harbor \u2018must grow down, or it will go down east.\u2019 Asked if he intended pressing on the Board the consideration of the advisability of changes in the general plan of barbor improvements, which was adopfed some years ago, and is now being gradually carried out, Mr.Doran said: \u2014 \u2018I think it is a case of now or never As I remarked at the last meeting, there are now two distinct harbors, the older and at present more important one, in front of the western part of the city, and the other being built up at Hoche- laga and below, the space hetween being at present unsuitable for the anchorage of large vessels owing to the rapid cure rent, and to the fact that there is such little wharf space, and that space is difficult of access and will be cut off al together from the eastern portion of the old city by the closing of streets which is bein asked for by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.\u2018My proposal is to extend the present shore wharves outwards, removing sufficient of Isle Ronde, not only to compensate for the part taken away from the river, but to diminish the current at these wharves, to make them safe anchorage, and I think this matter should be discussed in connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway's application io close streets.While I should like to see that company get every facilitv for its improvements, I think some provision should be made for access either ohove or below its tracks to those wharves if they are to be made useful and I think the interests of Montreal require that there should be a continuous harbhor.\u2018At present the apace in the npper harbor is limited, and it is very difficult to get ships to accept berths helow at a distance from the present centre of business, but if the Commissioners had berths to assign leading gradually down it would be different.Jf the trade does not gradually grow down, some fine day it will go down with a jump.and important interests centre helow leaving cur high level wharves, and the propoacd expensive sheds dererted, as they are unsuitable for the inland trade.\u2018Another feature in cnnnection with this scheme is that it will afford room outside the Canadian Pacific for a throuch system of elevated wharf tracks and these will Tecome a necessity to the port in course of time.\u2019 \u2018Did you not vote against the propored elevated tracks in connection with the sheds\u201d NO OPERATIONS NEEDED NOW.Grave! and Bladder Disease Cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills.Toronto Bricklayer Relieved of those Terrible Troubles\u2014 Medical 8clence Makes Another Move Forward, Toronto, Ont.May 24 \u2014(Special.)\u2014 Medical science has at length awakened to the fact that Gravel and other bladder troubles are caused by disnrdered k:dneys and that the modern method of curing them is to cure the kidneys with Dead's Kidney Pills.This does away with those terrible operations that in past years have been all too common, The case of William Thomas, brieklav- er.138 Mill street, this city.is one of *he recent proofs of the efficiency of the treatment.Mr.Thomas says: \u2018I nad been troubled with Gravel and Biadder Disease for seven years.I had to go to the hospital and have water taken from me.I tried medicines of different kinds, but they failed to remove the trouble.\u2018Hearing of cures by them prompted me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and after taking them for a time I passed à stone the size of a large bean.Four boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills made a complete cure in my case.\u2019 \u2018I did, because they were merely railway ramps to the upper stories, or, as 1 expressed it at the time, a hump in the centre of the harbor whic® would ¢ 1n- plete the cutting off of east from west, as any through traffic would \u2018ave to rise twenty feet on one side to go down thirty or more on the other side or vice versa.\u2018If we cannot have a through system of elevated road.\u2019 concluded E Doran, \u2018we are better without any.\u2019 QUEBEC'S NEW NURSES.AN INTERESTING EVENT AT THE JEFFERY HALE HOSPITAL.The large reception room of the Jeffery Hale Hospital, Quebec, was crowded with ladies and other friends of this noble institution when five young ladies, members of the graduating class of trained nurses were presented with diplomas and badges, having passed the examination with great success after three years hard work in their calling.Dean Williams addressed the meeting.He regretted the loss they were suffering n losing the matron, Miss Brown, but prophesied a brilliant future for her suc- ceesor, Mrs.Scott.He spoke earnestly of the beauty of the nurse's calling, for though arduous they had their reward in the glorious resuits achieved.Mr.John S.Thomson, the oldest vernor of the hospital, resident in Que- ec, gave an interesting account of the early days of the institution and the struggles and trials which it had passed through.He stated that it was not the custom for the governors to ask for subscriptions, though when money was offered it was not refused.The directors objected to the principle of realizing funds from theatrical entertainments, charity balls, fancy dress parties and the like.He maintained that any institution that was doing the Master's work and had the Divine approval, would obtain the means of carrying on its work successfully.With the gifts of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars from the late Senator J.GG.Rosa, and twenty- five thousand dollars from Mr.Price, they had been enabled to purchase the present beautiful and commanding site.It had at first been intended to adopt the cottage system, but they found the plan beyond their means, so had erected the present building at a cost of fifty- seven thousand dollars.The building for infectious diseases cost twenty thousand dollars.Through the munificence of Mrs.J.F.Turnbull wards for incurables would be erected at an early date.This building would be known as the Mackenzie wing.\u2014\u2014 A

carried it to a farmhouse near by and sent a handcar crew to Keewatin for assistance.A special engine was at once put into service and doctors rushed to the scene of the accident.On examination it was found that the youngster was practically uninjured.The child's mother reached Winnipeg distracted, but was rejoiced when Mr.Dietrich arrived on the second section of the train with the little ome.free

(ieorge was dead.It did not reach Susan so soon as he thought it would, Meadows has a notion.\u2019 for old Merton hesitated to tell her, but lontthe Sunday evenimng, wifh consider- ; , ; \u2018able reluctance and misgivings he tried «have onl me af he gna very clumsy way to prepare her for ; | gad news.snert 67 incrediliy, But her mind had long, been pre- Sebati Mr Meadows | pared for bitter tidings.Faney eieht - votion of the scan- weary months spent in passing every pos- .\"sible calamity before her imaginakon, vial condnet had death as often as any.(ST SE0N A SHSPICTON, She fixed her eyes on the old man.Là varmehearted - Father, George is dead 2100007 FIM, AS SH Old Merton hung his head, and made dl Faen or even for po reply se Sue rl at oo hat was enough.Susan crept From inch oway She did the room pale as ashes.She tottered, do juan That she bad but çhe did not fall.She reached her css av] hat he rom and locked herself in.
