glaring ignorance of food values may well be culled from the notes of those experts who have visited the poor of the different cities.In tbe slums of Chicago it was found that a woman whose busband was out of work and whose family was living on a few cents a day bought lettuce, a food so innutritious that, at least when out of season and high in price, it is a Juxury even for the rich, This woman sacrificed the inexpensive but nutritious classes of foods for leaves containing over 80 per cent of water and 15 per cent of refuse.It has been truthfully sald that & man would starve to death on a diet of lettuce alone.Pitiable improvidence was found in the New York slums.A watchman was feeding his family at the rate of 14 cents per person a day\u2014all that he could afford\u2014yet his wife bought expensive cuts of beef Instead of tbe equally nutritious cuts of lower price; also large quantities of butter whose value might bave been invested in dried beans and more bread.She also wasted money on soda crackers and jumbles costing two or three times as much as bread and containing no more Dutrition.It was estimated that his wife might have obtained about eight times as much nutrition for ber money had she substituted dried peas for green peas, Another large saving would have been the substitution of fresh for condensed milk.\u2014Jobn E.Watkins in Reader Magazine.THEY WERE GLUTTONS.The Gormands of the Eighteenth Century In England.Plenty was the watchword of the eighteenth century gormand in Eng- ; land.His tables groaned under an ar- | ray of food warranted to take away the appetite of all save the Gargantuas of the day.One blessing was evolved from the old sops and the later bisques and olios\u2014soup, which now was ever the prelude to the dinner.It was removed for meat or fish\u2014a chine of mutton and three ducks in the case of Squire Hill at Teddington, who, for entrees to support them, offered pul- jets with eggs, fillet of beef and scollops, turkey en daube, stewed carp, veal a la royale, fricasseed chicken, with bam and pigeons for center dish.| This was but the first course or relay.Next came the roasts\u2014two pheasants and four partridges and six teal, and mow, for side dishes, sweetbreads and marrow, four woodcock and ten snipe, salmon aad smelts, marrow pudding, fore quarter of lamb and oyster loaves.For center dish, mince pies.And men ate and survived, and still had heart within them to wait the removal of the cloth, and, greeting the dessert, sat over the mahogany until indeed they j fell beneath it.After ali, gormand is | \u2018not the name for such as these.They | were gluttons.: Stevenson's Love Toast.\"A beautiful testimony to one\u2019s home loves was paid by Robert Louis Stevenson at a thanksgiving dinner in Samoa.\u201cThere, on my right,\u2019 said Steven- won, replying to an unexpected proposal of \u201cThe Host,\u201d \u201csits she who has but lately from our own loved native land come back to me\u2014she whom, with no lessening of affection to those ethers to whom I cling, I love better than all the world besides\u2014my mother.From the opposite end of the table, my wife, who has been all in all to me, when the days were very dark, looks tonight into my eyes\u2014while we have both grown a bit older\u2014with undiminished and undiminishable affection.\u201d Which Wen the Prise?Three students of the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Marseilles, were talking in a cafe, \u201cMy dear fellow,\u201d said one, \u201cI painted the other day a little plece of pine wood in imitation of marble so perfectly that it sank to the bottom of the water.\u201d \u201cPooh,\u201d sald another.\u201cYesterday I suspended my thermometer on the easel that holds my \u2018View of the Polar Regions\u2019 It fell at once to 20 below \u201d bo \u201cThat's nothing,\u201d said the last.\u201cMy portrait of the marquis is so lifelike that it has to be shaved twice a week.\u201d Mew Flies Walk on Windew Panes.The microscope reveals the neat contrivance which enables a fly to walk up a window pane or defy the laws of gravity by gliding along, back downward, on the celling.The magnifier sbows the foot to be made up of two pads covered with ine, short hair, each pad having a hook above it.Behind each pad is a bag filled with a sticky liquid which ooses out whenever the fy puts his foot down.The amount which is pressed out of each foot is wary small indeed, but, taken all together, it 1s amply sufficient to hold She insect in any position he chooses.His Own Great Fooitehners.Nordy\u2014Your wife seems to think you'll get bunkoed If sbe jets you out of ber sight.You must have once Fishing Vor Salmen, Salmon fishing differs so much from trout fishing that it has been said an absolute beginner at fly fishing will learn to take salmo salar more readily than will a trout fisherman who tries the nobler fish after years of practice with the smaller one.This I doubt, but I know that a very different style of fishing is needed.There is really no such thing as \u201cstriking\u201d in salmon fishing, and if you keep a tight line and raise your rod as soon as you feel the \u201cpluck\u201d of the fish you will be doing your whole duty, and it will be up to the fish to do the rest.There is uo occasion for the swift strike by which one hooks a shy trout inclined to rise a trifle short.The salmon is such a weighty fellow that when he turns to go down after taking the fly hjs uro- mentum drives the hook above the barb with very little assistance on the part of the angler, provided the line be fairly taut.\u2014Charles A.Bramble In Recreation.Lost His Decoy.A western man was describing a banquet that he hid once attended in New York.\u201cI found this banquet Interesting,\u201d Le sald, \u201cand I was one of the lust to leave.In the cloakroom, as I was putting on my hat and coat, I couldn't help noticing the woebegone look on the attendant's face.The poor fellow appeared worried and sad, and every little while he sighed and muttered to himself.\u201cYou seem disconsolate, friend,\u2019 I aid.\u201cI am disconsolate, sir,\u2019 said the attendant.\u201cWhat is the trouble, sir\u2019 said I.\u2018Haven't the guests tipped you well tonight?\u201cThe attendant answered In an excited voice: \u201cIt's not only.sir, that they haven't

public never bears.These men are members of one of the most complicated and highly organized of the modern professions.Every great manufacturing concern maintains, under one head or another, an \u201cinventions department,\u201d employing men who are paid various salaries simply to develop inventions.They are supplied with every mechanical appliance to fa- cllitate their work.The bills are paid by the company, and every Invention they make is assigned to the company \u201cin consideration of salary and one doi- lar.\u201d And it is these unknown men, grappling with the everyday, practical problems\u2019 of great manufactories, who make most of the inventions of immediate commercial value.\u2014 World's Work.The Making of a \u201cCorot.\u201d There are two kinds of inferior

It wants so little! Only that?\u201d And be very often put \u201cthat\u201d ip on the spot and made a Corot of it.\u2014 London Chronicle.Shades of Black Cloth.A man who took his dress coat to his tailor and asked him to

Provinces of Upper and Lower Can ada on their union and adoption of re sponsible Government, under ce: tpi» conditions of thelr use for the mit: of the United Province, and from that Province they passed into the hans of the Dominion at confederation.What now should be the obvious duty of the Dominion Government on giving up the military use of this pronerty for which they never paid a farthing\" The answer comes readily.Transfer it back to Ontario.of which it is the most unique and precions bit of territory.Tt belongs equitably to Ontario, and to no party else.\u201cIt becomes now the imperative duty of the Government of Ontario not only to ask for, but to demand, ff the reservation of the Plains of Niagara to their original ownership.Personally I do not think that the Ottawa Government would object to the transfer.They could net refuse after expending such large amounts of public money on the purchase of the Plains of Abraham, the repairs of the Fort of Chambly, and the French-Cana- dian memorials in Quebec.I say they could not refuse this peace of justice to Ontario\u2014and they would not.\u201cThis, however, does not relieve the Government of Ontario of {ts immediate duty to open negotiations with Ottawa, and the duty of every histori cal soclety, educational and patriotic association in the Province is to urge the Government to take action.\u201d\u2014 From the Globe.REFORMED BRITISH SPORT.Who Took the 1lhitiative Abolishing Pigeon Shooting.Lord Ancaster, who took the initla- tive in the movement which has just resulted in abolishing pigeon shooting from the sports patronized by the aristocratic Hurlingham club, has other claims to distinction.He has changed Peer In AN UGLY MINE FLOOR.: The Way It Was Made Almest Nguad te Hard Felished Weed.\u201cI moved into à cottage that bad unsightly wide board, wide cracked floors of pine.They were badly stainea and altogether hopeless looking when one realised that rugs were to be laid on them,\u201d says a writer in an exchange.\u201cAs there was no possibility of making them look worse, I decided to experiment.I scrubbed them clean, then carefully puttied up all the cracks with the aid of a putty knife.After the putty was dry I applied oak col ored floor paint of a good, reliable brand.The first coat was thinly applied and well brushed in.This paint dried in twelve hours.Then the sur face was lightly sandpapered, and a slightly heavier coat of paint was applied.After this was thoroughly hard it was _sandpapered again and a thin, well brushed iu coat ot lacquered var nish put on.This takes longer to dry than paint and must be perfectly dry before being sandpapered in readiness for the second coat.By this time my stained and despised floors were a rich oak color, with a very flue hard pol ished surface.This work I did in the spring.In the fall I gave the floors à thin coat of linseed oil and turpentine (two parts oil to oue turpentine), well rubbed in with a flannel, with the result that the floors took on thelr pristine freshness.Unless they have very hard use, paluting and varnishing once a year is sufficient to keep them vice.To clean floors treated in this way it is ouly necessary to wipe them up ouce a month with a slightly olled cloth drawn over a broom.1 have seen flcors painted black In the same manner and varnished with black floor pol- fsh that looked uncommonly well as a background for oriental or bright colored rugs.While I do not claim that floors treated as described Lerein are equal in effect to the beauty of well waxed hardwood floors, I do say that they are very well appearing and, with rugs on them, greatly to be preferred to the Insanitary carpet.\u201d A GOOD COMBINATION.How to Make a Window Seat and Shoe Holder From Boxes.A suggestion for a combined shoe box and window seat which makes a very attractive and comfortable piece of furniture is shown in the ilLsstration.The sgat can be made of two smal boxes and one long box or other equal ly good boxes of about these proportions, made of strong boards.The pro- Ll] = | & = PY il li RHOR BOX WINDOW SEAT, portions should be carefully preserved.Remove one side from each small box, leaving the ends, top, bottom and one side.Place them on the floor a distance apart, with the open end at the front.Between these place the long box, having a lid fastened on at the back with hinges.Screw the sides of the end boxes fast to the sides of the middle box, and across the back of the three boxes fasten a board to act as a back to the seat.Convenient Dish Drainer.Canada\u2019s relative percentage of com: (1901), $962,987,759 on 41 per cent.of! | times darken the mental horizon.\u201d | often, and it is good to be told that the | ;

and many who are \u201c\u2018fervent in spirit\u2019 during those services and for a little time after, seem to suffer a relapse in the hot weather, and their \u201clove waxes cold.\u201d This then is the time when the exhortation above truly is in season.Let us not take shelter behind the hot weather and neglect our devotions, nor the public service on Sabbath, nor the mid-week prayer meeting.It is a sad thing when summer visitors are allowed to stand in the way of faithful attendance on the means of grace.And it is a very sad thing to see professors of the Christian religion spending the sacred bours of the holy Sabbath in keeping others as well as themselves away from the house of God.Those who go abroad during the summer, whether to the seaside or elsewhere, should not leave their Christianity behind them.They should be just as careful in regard to conduct at the summer resort as at home.When the weekly day of rest comes, no matter where we are, we should \u2018Remember the Sabbath day, tu keep it holy.\u201d\u201d The place does not change the time, for no matter where we may be the obligation remains.And especially on account of the sayings and writings of many whe love to be called \u2018\u2018higher critics,\u201d while there is very much speculation and not enough Christian experience, it is all the more \u2018\u2018needfal\u201d that we should \u2018earnestly contend for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.\u201d R.V.) And there is no better way of doing this than by living an earnest, exemplary Christian life.\u2014 TRAP SHOOTING.Prominent sportemen from the Province of Quebec, and Northern Vermont, took part in the annual invitation shooting tournament given by Mr.J.B.Goodhue, on his private grounds, in Derby Line, Vt., last Saturday.Despite threatening weather there was a good attendance both in the morning and afternoon.After the tournament, the visiting sportmen and their wives were entertained by Mr.and Mrs.Goodhue at their band- some new home on West street.The visitors expressed themselves as delighted with the hospitality of their hoet and hostess.Guests who participated in the tournament were as follows: D.J.Kear- ney, W.H.Ewing, Montreal; C.G.Thompson, G.M.Howard, C.H.Clark, N.G.Bray, Sherbrooke; A.W.Westover, H.E.Hibbard, Sutton Junction; Dr.Henry P.Stockwell, Stanstead.Excepting the fifth event, in which Craig and Stockwell killed twenty- four each out of a string of twenty- five, the prettiest race of the tournament was that between Bray and Westover for possession of the Sherbrooke spoon.This was a handicap event, Bray having the twenty-yard mark, and Westover the seventeen.Each killed the regular string of fifteen without a skip.Without giving them time to cool down a second string of fifteen was ordered up.From the very first the birds were hard fliers and it was only by a wonderfully clever exhibition on both sides that the score went to a tie on the fifth bird, and remained there until the last blue rock was sent skimming through the air.Amidst intense excitement, Westover dusted but failed his bird; Bray killed clean, winning the match, and calling forth congratulations from all sides.The total score of each was as follows: Bray 29 out of 30, Westover 28 out of 30.Following are the other scores in the spoon event: Howard (18 yards) 11; Craig (21) 11; Thompson (22) 12; Stockwell (17) 12; (21) 7.For convenience the regular contest for the Laflan and Rand cup, presented to the Sherbrooke club was pulled off.This cup will become the property of the member winning it the most times during the season of 1905.The conditions call for twenty- five targets, handicap.Craig, Thompson, Bray and Westover killed with great regularity, but Thompson man- Rev.James Lawson, Chelsea, Que., in The Light- Bearer.aged to win out with one point over Craig, and two over Bray.Following are the scores: Howard (17 yards) 17; Craig (20) 23; Bray (20) 21; Goodbue (20) 16; West- over (20) 21; Stockwell (20) 19.Contests for handsome and valuable merchandise prizes developed several ties.Thompson, Ewing and Craig made perfect scores, while Kearney lost only one bird.The list as completed after all ties had been settled AN ENCHANTED LAKELAND.The \u2018\u2018Highlands of Ontario,'\u201d considered the most beautiful summer resort district in America, is annually attracting more attention as the ideal playground for the tourist and holiday seeker.During the last week in June \u2018support United States Criminals.Ont this season, the members of the Builders\u2019 Exchange of Cleveland, Ohio, to the number of two hundred, held their annual outing in the Muskoka Lakes district, one of the principal regions of this vast territory, making their headquarters at the \u201cRoyal Muskoka\u2019 hotel.The Cleveland Plain Dealer of June 30th publishes an article by their special staff correspondent, in which appears the following: \u201cThe Royal Muskoka hotel is one of the largest and best equipped summer hotels in Canada, opened a week earlier than usual to entertain the builders.The two days here have been most tho:- oughly enjoyed by the members of the party, and the picturesque and beautiful scenery along the railroad and lake route, in the centre of the \u2018Highlands,\u2019 amused and delighted the Clevelanders.\u201d Take a free trip\u2014a mental little journey through Muskoka, by asking for that handsome Muskoka publication issued by the Grand Trunk Railway System.It contains a large map, nineteen views and a fund of information.Apply for copy to J.Quinlan, District Passenger Agent, Bonaventure Station, Montreal.A female pickpocket, known all over the United States, got off with a four month\u2019s sentence in Toronto the other day becruse Judge Morgan be- Hoves that Canada should not bave to \u2018in British Columbis the point of view .is different.When a criminal bailing from United States falls into the clotches of the law he is given all follows: Thompson, first, 10;

the local farmers did not send their sone to it, and it was only used as a sort of asylum for young Englishmen coming to his country, or for incorrigible sons of wealthy Canadians who wished to be rid of them.The running expenses cost from five to seven thousand dollars per annum.Leading society people in New York paid from $500 to $10,000 a piece fora book called \u2018Fads and Fancies,\u201d actually worth about $10.Insome cases the price of the book seems to have included also that of the suppression of uneavory stories relating to the purchaser.In others the gratification of vanity through seeing the subscriber\u2019s name and picture in association with those of recognized social lights was the reason for the surrender to the canvasser.The grafter who can get on the soft side of the rich looker for notoriety has an easy subject and a big reward, For Over Sixty Years.Winslow's Booth been see CR Lon is So toot success.It soothes the a Shen .1 Srna pr rad ite Sd |= J At Stanstead J , à daugh er to Mr.OLD8\u2014At South nly 10, 1908, a froin Rey Bln (Be a.n WALLACE\u2014At , July 28 A 3 zs 2995.» dsught- er to Mr.and Mrs.F.W DESEVE\u2014 At , July 2%, Mr.and Re Deneve.« daughter to Deafness Cannot be Cured ou local applications as they cannot reach the seased portion of the ear.There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is hy conatitn- tional remodies.Deafness is ca by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.When this tube is inflamed ou have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear- ng, and when it is entirely cl , Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to ita normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;

COMMISSION.Thess Envoys Will Be Assisted By Baron Rosen For Russia and By Minister Takahira For Japan As Second Pienipotentiaries \u2014 Short Sketches of Appointees-\u2014Warring Monarchs and U.S.President.President Roosevelt of the United States has transmitted to Russia and Japan the names of their respective peace plenipotentiaries.They are: For Russia\u2014M.Nelidoff, Ambassador of Russia in Paris.For Japan\u2014Baron Komura, Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs.In case a second plenipotentiary should be determined upon M.Neli- doff will be assisted by Baron Rosen, TWO WARRING MONAKCHS AND U.S.PRESIDENT.Russian Ambassador to States, and Baron Komura by Minister the United Takahira, the Japanese Minister to the United States.i The date of the meeting will be between the first and tenth days of August.Count Nelidoff has had much ex-! perience in the foreign ministry of, Russia in matters relating to Asiatic affairs, having been intrusted with) several important commissions in the orient.He was political member of the staff of Grand Duke Nicholas, the, Russian commander in chief during the Turko-Russian war.In 1878 he negotiated and signed, as second plenipotentiary, the treaty of San Stefano.Five years later hé became the Rus-; sian Ambassador at Constantinople, : and, after five years\u2019 experience with the Porte, was transferred to Rome.Two years ago, when he came into disfavor with the Italian Government, being blamed for the abandonment of the Czar\u2019s proposed visit to Rome, he was transferred to Paris.He is 65 years old.Mme.de Nelidoff, born Prin- ' cess Hilkoft, is a brilliant woman.The eldest of her five sons Is first secre tary at Paris, | Baron Komura is the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs and formerly was Minister to the United, States.His ability was given a severe BARON KOMTRA.BARON TAKAHIRA.test during the negotiations with Russia that preceded the war.He was bora fifty-one years ago, and as a schoolboy attracted the attention of the federal lord of Takanabe, who! sent him to Jeddo, where he studied European literature.Later he was sent to Harvard to study law, and on his return was made a judge.In 1884 be was made first secretary of foreign affairs, and afterwards became secretary of the consulate in China.He was acting Minister to China when the war broke out between the two countries.He wag afterwards Minister to Corea, coming to the U.S.as Minister in November, 1898.He remained in the United States one year and then went to 8t.Petersburg, where he was Minister for two years.Baron Komura does not know M.Nelidoff, but is well acquainted with Baron Rosen, so he will have an old friendship with one of the Russian delegates as a basis for official discussion.Baron Rosen is under appoin\u2018ment to succeed Count Cassini as Russian Ambassador at Washington.Ha was Minister to Tokio when the war began, and conducted that end of the futile COUNT NELIDOPP.BARON ROSEN.\u2019

intelligence and brain power,\u201d argued a well known so- cléty leader at a popular woman's club recently.\u201cNo senseless doll,\u201d she continued, \u201cknows how to dress.Bhe may don gaudy raiment, spend a fortune on a gown so utterly Inappropriate to the occasion that one can only feel an intense pity for her, but no oue would ever dream of laying the burden of her sin against good form and good taste at the door of the whole of her sex.\u201cThe woman who dresses well, In conformity with her age, her work and her position in society, choosing nel- ther extreme of the prevailing modes, but, striking 8 bappy medium, is tbe woman who bas brains and uses them to make a good selection from the fashions of the day.\u201d And there is no doubt ef the truth of this statement, for it is the well groom- od, suitably gowned woman who attains success, whether in business or social lite.The age of the blue stocking bas .passed, and nowadays the woman who dresses unbecomingly through choice and not for the sake of economy Is regarded as either mentally weak or as seeking some eccentric form of self advertisement, which is but another phase of unpardonable vanity.In the commercial world the dowdy, insignificant woman, even if she bas mental ability, is at a discount when compared with the well dressed woman, confident and smifing, with bright capacity written all over her comely person.The latter has learned an essential fact\u2014that confidence is born of good clothes\u2014and therefore with genuine brain power reasons the necessity of making the most of all her good points.\u2014London Express.DAINTY PIN TRAY, Make Jt of Cardboard or of Heavy Water Color Paper.From cardboard or heavy water color paper cut a circle a bit larger than a tumbler top, bold it firmly over the tumbler and prees into the shape of a little plate by pinching every inch or so bits of the cardboard that extend over the tumbler edge.This gives a little scallop effect.With water colors or gilt paint tint the edge and scatter forgetmenots, violets or stars over the inside, and you have a dainty little pin tray, writes a contributor to Good Housekeeping.A comb and brush tray can be made in the same manner by pressing the corners Into shape over a box cover, book or small meat platter of the desired size.A pretty little puff box can be wade by covering with the cardboard one of tbe pasteboard rolis on which tbe ribbons are wound, removing one end to be used as a cover.À set of these prettily decorated makes an acceptable gift for a friend who is going to the seashore or mountains for the summer, and as they can be packed perfectly flat they are never left be- bind for lack of room.TOILET TIPS.Don't dry the hands carelessly after washing.Use a soft damask towel or a silk handkerchief and dry thoroughly.Egg shampoo is made by beating an ounce of water with a raw egg.Massage thoroughly into the scalp and wash the hair without soap.A little powdered alum thrown into the water In which the hands are bathed will prevent perspiration.This is worth remembering before putting on one\u2019s gloves, A pint of rosewater diluted with a tablespoontul of glycerin forms an excellent preservative for the hands and will keep them smooth and white if applied each time after washing.Some skins are so fine and dry they will not retain powder, giving the face a shiny appearance.This may be overcome by applying a little oil of sweet almonds rubbed thoroughly into the skin and then a littie harmless powder.A Weman®s Work.A woman has a personal work and duty relating

invad- ers\u2014preferably her of the wind blown haïr\u2014let us spend a day m rambling o'er the old, historic town.Across the river is Fort Niagara, \u201cThe ancient fort that once, With war and siege and deeds of daring wrought Into its rugged walls a history Of heroes half forgotten, writ In dust.\u201d as Niagara's own bard, Wm.Kirby, has described it.This old fort is one of the most historic spots in North America.It is almost two centuries and a half old.Its foundations are said to be the oldest existing masonry west of Albany.Here, on this point of land, in 1869, La Salle built the first structure, other than an Indian wigwam, ever erected on this frontier.On this site at a later date, he built ill fated Fort Coute, A stone castle on the site of the present one was built in 1726.Gradually strength: ened and enlarged by the French.this primitive stronghold had become at the , time of its attack by the British in 1759 a great fortress, as strongly fortified and protected as the science of the day, with such materials as could be gather ed at so far off a point, could possibly make it.The timbered roof dates back prior to the American revolution.The two stone blockhouses, said to be the best specimens of their kind extant in America, were built in 1770 and 1771 by the British.The hotshot furnace, first built prior to 1813, was rebuilt 50 \u2018 years ago.The brick facing on the earthworks dates from 1861.Fort Niagara was the strategical centre of the middle part of North America for over one hundred years and was the centre of French civilisation in the interior of the continent down to Loulstana.Directly opposite Fort Niagara lay the Indian village of Onghiara\u2014variously spelled Onghiaara, Onglara, Ochnia- gara, Ingara and Niakgahra.With the advent of the United Empire Loyalists a thriving town sprang up on this spot.It was first known as Butlersburg, then West Niagara, afterwards as Newark, and, finally, as Niagara.Fort George was construoted.Butler's Barracks were bullt.Governor Simcoe made it his capital.Commerce and trade flour ished.Niagara was the chief town in all western Canada and prospered exceedingly.Then came war, and all the horrors of siege, capture and destruction.Fort Mississaugua, \"That stern memorial of a deed unchiv- airous,\u201d preserves the memory of that stirring time.Its massive walls were built of the ruins of the burned town.A walk over the nine hole golf links at the north brings us to it.It is in the form of a stone blockhouse, surrounded by high earthworks, and stands today a perfect specimen of the early nineteenth century fort, the only one of the kind in Canada.Fort George is now in ruins.It was dismantled immediately after the close of the war.Each year it hears again the rolling drum, the boom of camnon, the crack of musketry, the thunder of the charge.The strife, however, now is mimie war: the soidiery are training: on the plain beside ts held the annual camp for instruction.On the far side of the common are Butler's Barracks, such as remain.and away to the west is Butler 'siruyghn away to the west is Butler's burying ground \u2014 perhaps the oldest burying ground in Ontario\u2014where the old warrior and many another fighting loyalist lie buried.Midway stands the old Sail.Over by the grove are the French thorns famed in legend and tn poetry, and near at hand is old St.Mark's\u2014\"a bit of Old England\u201d \u2014 the quaîntest, most romantic, most charming old church on the continent.Its smoking ruins and battle-scarred graveyard saw the desolation of 1813.Down by the whart is the old cradle slip and dockyzrd, where in 1702 the first Canadian merchantman on these lakes was launched.Many a noble vessel moved to her baptism from these stocks.Niagara was an important post in the old days before the Waelland Canal was constructed.All the trade of the upper lakes passed this way.Over the doors of the warehouse at the south end of the wharf are the names | ef the steamers which used it \u2014 the Great Britain, the Canada, the United ' Kingdom, the Commodore Barrie, the St.George, the William IV.Mere, on New Years Day, 1840, was

meal was served and eaten during the dark ages.As near as we can learn, the soup was put iu a big bowl with ears, called a \u201cporringer.\u201d There was seldom a spoon for each person.Those who had spoons dipped them into the porringer, and the liquid was carried directly to each mouth, Those who were without spoons drank their soup from the porringer, holding it by one of the ears, or else borrowed a spoon of their neighbor.The meats were placed in a large vessel in the center of the table.Each person present at the meal picked out with his fingers such bits as he desired.One or two knives answered for half a dozen guests, Those who were without knives borrowed from those who , had them.As a rule, the guests at table used thelr own knives.There Is no evidence that napkins were supplied .to guests at this period.At any rate, _ no mention is made of them.Tipstaves.Tipstaves, otherwise known as \u201cold Charlies,\u201d \u201cBow street runners\u201d snd | \u201cTom tits,\u201d were formerly used in England by officers of the law, or police in private clothes, to show their authority.They were generally carried up the sleeve or in a pocket con- i venlently at hand, and the officer would draw his tipstaff and touch the persou to be arrested on the shoulder and say, \u201cI arrest you in the name of the king,\u201d ; Just as now a policeman produces his .warrant.They were generally made of wood, mounted with brass or silver | and tipped with a brass, ivory or carved wooden crown, whepce the name tipstaff was derived.They varled in .size from five to nine inches in length.; The men who carried them were also \u2018 called \u201cBow street runners.\u201d The last ' survivor dled in 1894 at the age of ' eighty-five, A Skin Game.\u201cThings are not always what they seem,\u201d sald an officer of one of the big leather companies the other day at a gathering of leather men.\u201cOnce upon a time there were six good little goats in a fleld.They died young, like all good little goats with good skins, and i the fellow who was responsible for their death shipped those skins to a tannery.When they came out the skin of one little goat was an elepbant\u2019s hide, that of the sdcond little goat was a monkey skin, that of the third was a sealskin, the fourth a sea lion, the fifth a green frog skin and the skin of the hide.\u201d Browaiag and aa Umbrella.A correspondent writes to the London Chronicle that he once came upon Robert Browning in Piccadilly in lively dispute with a stranger who had carried his closed umbrella over his shoulder or under his arm, with the end sticking out.Browning, walking behind, struck down the dangerous point with an energetic stick.\u201cI always do it,\u201d sald the poet with just indignation and in no measured tones, The man protested aloud, but Browning explained to the gathering crowd and justified bimself fully.No one seemed to know how {illustrious was the brawler.A Wonderful Voice.Lablache bad the most magnificent bass voice ever known tô the lyric stage.It had a compass of two octaves, from E fat below to E flat above the bass staff.He was a man of prodigious size and strength, and bis voice was proportioned to his physical dimensions.Nothing was able to overcome or drown it, and through the tones of the largest chorus it boomed out as lustily as though alone.More the strength of the vibrations caused by his monstrous voice.Making Matters Worse.The English papers tell a quaint story of Lord Leighton, the painter.Two women were looking at his picture of \u201cHelen of Troy.\u201d \u2018It fs a borrid picture,\u201d one remarked to the painter.\u201cI'm sorry, but it's mine,\u201d said Sir Frederick, as he then was.\u201cOh,\u201d said the woman, \u201cyou don't mean to say you've bought it?\u201d \u201cNo; I painted it,\u201d was the reply.\u201cOh,\u201d declared the women, you must not mind what we say.We are only saying what everybody else says.\u201d Glamour of the Footlights, Mary Anderson Navarro talked also a good deal about the stage and told me that no one who had not lived behind the scenes could have any Idea how utterly,

18 AFTER MILLIONS, \u2014 History of This Great Chancery Case Reads More Like a Romance Than As a Record of Actual Fast\u2014Money Has Accumulated te the Enermous, Almost Unthinkable, Sum of £35 000,000\u2014Case In Brief.We recently recalled the famous Jennens, or -Jennings, millions, which pave defied all claimants for genera tions, and referred to the fact that a pew claimant from Canada had ap- red on the scene in David Jennings of Montreal.A friend of that gentle man, having himself a direct interest fa this strange legal romance, writes us, says The Birmingham (HEng.) Post, as follows: The history of the great Jennings chancery case reads more like a-ro- mance rather than actual fact.Recent researches prove that there is à substantial foundation of truth at its base, and that the money has accumulated to an enormous amount\u2014£35.- 000,000\u2014still unclaimed.One is hard- ty able to realise what that sum repre- gents.It would be for the general good of this country if this money we@ claimed and distributed rather than for it to be locked up in chancery, doing no one any good.David Jennings, whose great-grandfather lived at Blox- wich Hell, Bloxwich, and who has late- ty come from Canada, as already stated, claims to be heir-at-law, and has come to England to assert his rights.Mr.Jennings has lately been visiting Syd- pey Herbert, F.R.G.8.of Carlton Lodge, Cheltenham, the classic artist, who is a descendant from Humphrey Jennings of Erdington Hall, through Mary, grandmother of Humphrey, who married Henry Guest of Kinver.Joseph Guest, Mr Herbert's grandfather, spent most of his life in collecting proof of his claim to the personal property of william the Rich, and he had an interview with the Hon.Lygon, the possessor of some of the estates, and his proofs were so convincing that the hon, gentleman offered him « compromise of some thousands of pounds.Mr.Guest refused.On returning from Mr.Lygon's house Mr.Guest was overturned in the coach and sustained injuries which caused his death.He had only time to relate his interview and to make his will.The news of the death of her husband brought on an {illness which resulted in the

Btaffordshire\u2014have been working together harmoniously from the begin- Ring of the suit, and Mr.Jennings says that if he is successful he shall see that they have their just share.A case of this kind will, however, require sev- sral years to collect the numerous cer iificates and deeds connected with it, The Jennings family are of very ancient origin.According to Viscount Wolseley (vide \u201cLife of Duke of Marlborough\u201d), the family were entitled to bear arms from the earliest period.Lord Valentia sald that the founder of the family was Jean de Mangis, a knight from Mangis in Burgandy, who came over to England in the reign of Henry III, corrupted first to Jennan- gis, and afterwards to Jennings.The Staffordshire branch are of kinship to Sir Stephen Jennings, who was born at Wolverhampton, and who was Aso Lord Mayor of London in 18500.A number of the family seemed to have embarked in trade, and through suc- sesaful speculation accumulated for tunes, all culminating in the great wealth amassed by William Jennings of Acton Place, Acton, near Long Mel- ford, Suffolk, He was the richest commoner in England in the time of William III.That monarch was his godfather, and visited him at his Suffolk mansion.A bed was once in existence at Acton Place, the hangings of which were lined with the sheets of William If.William Jennings (known gener ally as William the Rich)

of the Libau harbor works I trained over 100 divers, and not one 4f them has lost his life or been any the worse for the work.I have trained a lot of men in Gibraltar, too.Certainly,\u201d he

the pressure is too great for any long stay at a depth of nineteen or twenty fathoms.I have been in twenty-five fathoms, but only tor a flying visit.The danger of these great depths lies in the fact that you may not feel the pressure until you come to the top, and then every bone and muscle in your body aches with an agony as though it had been crushed in by an hydraulic press.\u201cI did some wark on the Forth Bridge,\u201d continued this interesting man, as his mind began to roam over his past exploits.\u201cThat kept me going for four years, and in some places we were busy in nineteen fathoms (114 feet) of water.At that depth our limit of endurance was reached in three- quarters of an hour.If you want to work for five hours at a stretch, don't try it in more than thirteen fathoms of water, is my advice to young divers,\u201d i When engaged by the month, the writer was Informed, foremen divers receive from 25 to 85 pounds per month, They work, as a rule, from start to finish, for ten hours a day.Under the water the men remain for two hours at a stretch, and then come up for a \u201cblow\u201d and a smoke.The ordinary divers\u2019 monthly wage is about 20 pounds.When engaged on short jobs, the divers works in \u201cshifts\u201d of four hours at from 16s to 20s a shift, 1 James Hoopgr, by the bye, 16 the man credited with the world's record with respect to deep-sea

lost on the Len- conna Rock, near Shanghai.The after- part containing the treasure had rolled into deep water, and the divers had a {long search for the vessel at depths varying from 120 to 160 feet.Ridyard ultimately obtained access te the treas- .ure room, when he found that the worms had eaten the wooden boxes, \u2018but had left the dollars, which lay in heaps on the floor.Ridyard made four {trips and during his explorations re- , mained under water for four hours at .& stretch, sending up the entire contents of sixty-four boxes of treasure.No diver had ever before worked so \u201clong at this great depth, and it is not surprising that the intrepid diver returned to the boat quite exhausted from the enormous pressure te which his ;body had been exposed.Amazons On the

fashionable life | to devote her future te bucolle pur : suits.When her work is of such a character ' that the regulation skirt is an encume brance, the lady attires herself in a pair of trousers and a man's jacket, and in this costume she is frequently seen in the Orpington streets.For some months she has been undergoing a thorough course of practical instruction at the largest farm in the district, preparatory to leaving for Cane ada, where she intends to begin farming on a very large scale.She is a very muscular lady, tall and handsome, and she goes about her daily task with great enthusiasm.She shares with the men employed on the farm all the rough work that has to be done, and is quite as proficient as they in the use of the spade and shovel First tron War Vessel.It was on

journaliste in Scotland, he has had no systematic education and has never been as « pub- Uo school.Young Hector's home 1s at Johns burn, Balerno, a pretty?tree shelter: 1 old Midlotman County house, several miles trom Edinburgh.Here the youth: ful astronomer has had ample leisure and opportunity to cultivate his favor ite science.He has never been made to \u201cgrind at grammar\u201d in his own or other language, though his father has helped him in different ways, and encouraged him to find out #things for himself.The lad has acquired in this way a large amount of geieral knowl edge unknown to the ordinary schoolboy, and has acquired the faculty of giving expression to his ideas in clear, terse, vigorous English.When twelve or thirteen he began to show a strong interest in astronomy: His father, believing it is good for the youthful mind to occupy itself with great subjects, gave the boy encour agement ,and procured for him astronomical primers written in simple and popular style, Instead of wearying, the lad's wonder and interest were aroused.He got a general idea of the whole subject, and worked steadily thraugh many astronomical books, increasing in difficulty.Bit by bit the young astronomer developed, getting a corner of his home fitted up as an obaerva- tory, with telescope, star maps and other paraphernalia as became a private observer.By and by, at his father's suggestion, he commenced a series of articles in an Edinburgh weekly newspaper on the work accomplished by living astronomers.Having tried in vain to find in any book published in Jnglish up-to date informaiion as to the work of such men as Schiaparelli, Flamma- ,Trlon and others, the boy wrote to the sclentists themselves, sent on copies of some of his articles to show what he was doing, and begged for accurate information to show what each man con- siderod his most important contribution to science during his lifework.An interesting and friendly correspondence followed with different astnonomers, and the lad not only got compliments on the scope and quality of his articles, but valuable, reliable and up-to-date information from eminent astronomers, as well as portraits of the savants sent by themselves.The result was a series of articles, which have now been published tn book form under the title \u201cAstronomers of To-day.\u201d At present the youthful astronomer, in addition to pursuing his studies of the stars, is engaged in mathematical and other studies under a private tutor with a view to entering at Edinburgh University.Armor-Proteoted Camera.What are said to be the best photographs of the war in the east were se: cured by an English firm engaged in this line of business.These pictures stood out among the others secured on the field of action because it was evident from even a casual inspection of the prints that the operator had used great care and had given unusual attention to detail in the matter of making the exposure.From the great num.der of successes obtained it was apparent that the pictures were not the result of hit or miss snapshooting on the fleld.These pictures attracted great attention and at the present time they are on exhibition in one of the London : halls, and are being viewed daily by throngs of people.\u2018The seeret of these camera successes was the bullet-proof shield which was devised for the use of the camera man, and from behind the kindly shelter of this he was enabled to make his exposures with mature deliberation and to sleze upon the right moment for the ; exposure to get the best effects.With this shield, the photographer pushed his way along through the thickest of the fight, with very little risk to life or limb.Ne Room For Siok Baby.A young Woman told the Westminster coroner the other day how, when her three-weeks-old child was taken {ll she tramped about London trying to get a hospital to take it in.At some hospitals ft could not be ads mitted because it was illegitimate, at others the nurses said it was not ill enough to be taken in, and at another letters from à doctor and a clergyman were required.She at last found herself at a Hamp- stead hospital, where the nurse said her child could be admitted only on a Tuesday or a Friday.She was taking the baby back to Brixton, where she lived, when on reaching Victoria Station the little one was so ill that she hurried to 8t.George's Hospital, where it died from heart failure a few minutes afier its admission.The coroner criticised the woman's action in leaving the workhouse as soon as sixteen days after the child's birth, but sald he was quite at a loss to understand why the question of the baby\u2019s legitimacy should affect its admission te a hospital.Glesgew Bars Street Ballade.Street singing has its limits

sentence about the ; president brought !t'in his address.POYOHICAL RESEARCH.ing-Remarkable Phonemenen Automatic wriling was the subject which Prof.Richet came all the way from Paris to discuss before the Ho clety of Psychical Research, says The London Standard.Prof.Richet is the president of the society, but, as he was reading the paper, the chair was takon by Sir Oliver Lodge.The professor, addressing his audience in French, de scribed in detail a remarkable phenomenon which came under his personal observation.Mme.X., a friend of Prof.Richet, knows no Greek, yet on various ooca- sions she has written, while in a trance, Greak sentences with a definite meaning Once she sant him by mall three picces of Greek which he was finally able to trace to an exceddingly rare dictionary of French and Greek, ef which Mme.X had no knowledge what.soaver.On another occasion, when he went to call upon her towards evening, when the rays of the setting sun were deepening the shadows in the room, she wrote a sentence in Greek which meant, \u201cAt sunrise and sunset the shadows lengthen\u201d fhe wrote in & current hand, but she made mistakes in placing the accents, and occasionally made such slips as could only be made by a person having no knowledge of the lan For example, she would write the Greek ielter \u201cs\u201d by mistake for the letter \u201c0,\u201d with an accent over it\u2014a very natural mistake for a copyist, who is completely ignorant of the language he is writing, and is simply copying by eye, but one which, as it renders a word quite unpronounceable, could not be made, even through cure: lessness, by anyone knowing the language.These, then, are the facts: Prof.Richet, In clearing the ground for discussion, took it as axiomatic that Mme.X acted throughout in good faith.He could not bring proofs of this, but he could vouch for her good faith as ho could for his own.The lady certainly did not know Greek.\u201cYou cannot oon- oceal from all your friends and relatives your knowledge of a language Whe Greek, and, in any case, we have her word for it that she did not know the language.Moreover, she had never soen the book from which she quoted three passages.\u201d How could such a phenomenon be accounted for?It could not be an effort of memory, for Mme.X had never to her knowledge seen the book from which she quoted.Equally, it could hardly be unconscious memory of & book she had seen and forgotten, for that would be to explain a strange phenomenon by another phenomenon equally strange and inexplicable.Prof.Richet suggested comparisons with mathematical and musical prodigies, but found them unconvinicng.A won derful child can remember the whole of a musical score which is contained in a large book, but then he is dealing with à language he knows thoroughly.So it is with the lightning calculator: he is thoroughly versed in figures.Hers, on the contrary, {is a lady who writes pages of Greek, more or less correctly, without any knowledge whatsoever of Greek.Prof.Richet then suggested spiritualistic explanations, but found them unsatisfactory.In the end he had | to admit that there was no explana.1 SUTTER

accept without reserve the question of the genuineness of Mme.X.The society had perfect faith in Prof.| Richet and Prof.Richet had perfect faith in Mme.X: but the conclusion did not follow that the society must have perfect faith in Mme.X.Then the comparison of the infant prodigy could not be altogether rejected.There was the wonderful Spanish child at two years old, who had appeared before the King of Spain and before Prof.Ri- chet himself.The mother of this child | once played over an intricate piece of music, and, on going afterwards into | the, next room, she heard some one repeating the performance.Returning, she saw to her consternation her in fant child playing the music quite correctly.Obviously, the child eould have no previous knowledge at all.ee | then, was a sort of parallel.Other speakers produced strange cases of automatic writing, but none were of quite such a definite\u2018and extraordinary nature as the case presented by Prof.Richet.Mrs.Verral, for example, told the society how her daughter and a friend of hers produced by table rapping a Greek story which the table erroneously attributed to Pausanias, but afterwards gave the correct chapter and verse in Heliodor- us.The story was not quoted word ' for word, but the substance was eor.rectly given.In this case, however, both the mediums were Greek, and pro- | bably had chapters of Hellodorus stor ed away in the subliminal consclous- | ness.Then came Mr.Harris with a story told by Huxley 30 years ago, of | a soldier wounded in a battle whe wrote in unknown languages from dictation while in a state of trance; and lastly Prof.Barrett produced an eu.thentic story of a lady who was hyp notised by a clergyman.On one ooes-.sion the clergyman acked her te write ' down the contents of à letter which had just arrived by post and was unopened.She wrote most of the contents cor rectly, In the discussion it was generally taken for granted that Mme.X had | exhibited enly the powers of a oopy- ist, for, as Prof.Ricochet explained, she had made mistakes in speHing which could only be made by a person eomy pletely ignorant of the language.An so Mrs.Verral believed that Mme.X | must have been under some sert of hypnotic control, but was influenced | through her eye only and mot through her intelligence.But there were other instances, overlooked in the discussion, where Mme.X had written sentences with à meaning applicable te the immediate circumstances; for example, i i shadows.In such a case she must have been controlled through her intelligence.In fact, the discussion did not | carry the matter any further than the \u2018 \u2014 Their Uses Condemned by Onterie Agrieulture Bulletin, - The On:ario Depar ment of Agricul ture has lssued à bulletin on \u201cBut er
